If you are ready to file your tax return and anxious to receive your refund, before filing be sure you are using the name and number that is in the SSA’s system. If you recently changed your name with SSA you need to wait several weeks before filing your return so the new information gets to all the places it needs to be to be recognized. If you forgot about changing your name with SSA put it off some more; file your return with the old name and change it after your refund arrives. When you are efiling your return you will know almost immediately if your name and number do not match. Mailing the return will add weeks to the process. Here are some tips from IRS for changing your name. If you were married or divorced recently, there are a couple of things you’ll want to do to ensure the name on your tax return matches the name registered with the Social Security Administration. If a taxpayer takes their spouse’s last name or if both spouses hyphenate their last names, they may run into complications if they don’t notify the SSA. If the newlyweds file a tax return using their new last names, IRS computers would not be able to match the new name with their Social Security Number. After a divorce, taxpayers who change back to their previous last name also need to notify the SSA of the change. Informing the SSA of a name change is quite simple. File a Form SS-5 at your local SSA office. The form is available on SSA’s Web site at www.socialsecurity.gov, by calling 800-772-1213 or at local offices. It usually takes about two weeks to have the change verified. Taxpayers who adopt their spouse’s child after getting married will want to make sure the children have an SSN. Taxpayers must provide SSNs for each dependent claimed on a tax return. For adopted children without SSNs, the parents can apply for an Adoption Taxpayer Identification Number – or ATIN – by filing Form W-7A, Application for Taxpayer Identification Number for Pending U.S. Adoptions with the IRS. The ATIN is a temporary number used in place of an SSN on the tax return. The W-7A is available on the IRS Web site, IRS.gov, or by calling 800-TAXFORM (800-829-3676).

Milestones OBITUARY SHIRLEY BEAL Shirley Beal, 74, died Tuesday, March 31st at Mansfield General Hospital. Shirley was born in Mansfield to Walter and Kathryn McEvoy where she attended school and then married Richard Kline of Shelby. They lived in Shelby for the next twenty years and raised three children, Richard Jr., Thomas and devoted daughter Juliann. Shirley then moved to Huron, Ohio where she entered the restaurant business and enjoyed local success for a number of years. The generosity she felt toward others was displayed in legendary portion sizes. In the late 80’s she met and eventually married Doug Beal, returned to Mansfield continuing in the restaurant business, this time with Tony and (sister) Kathy Morris. Shirley particularly enjoyed making soups and desserts. A favorite activity was driving thru the Ohio countryside, occasionally stopping to shop for crafts or specialty foods but holiday meals for family and friends was her stage and she delighted all right up to this past Christmas. Immediate family included three sisters: Virginia (Baker), Nancy (Lehman) and Kathy (Morris) all of Mansfield. Shirley enjoyed grandchildren Donnie, Heather, Dustin, Derek, Michael, Cory and Melissa and these blessed her with great grandchildren Hayden, Briley, Wyatt, Hayden, Jack, Kendall, Ellyn, Sebastian, Rayce and Morgan
Also loved were the many special nieces, nephews, uncles, in-laws and cousins. Shirley had a knack for long-term friendships and if you knew her from “back when” you were hard to tell from family. There were hardships for Shirley. She was preceded in death by sister Virginia, father Walter, companion Tony Hardy and son Thomas. Shirley was a devoted member of the Southside Christian Church, Pastor Paul Lintern residing, and the faith inspired allowed her last, most courageous decision. A memorial to this life of love and generosity will be held 3 pm Saturday, April 4th at the Southside Christian Church, 2055 Middle-Bellville Rd., Mansfield, Ohio 44904. Memorial contributions can be made to the Southside Christian Church.

Gardening
Planter Poles MARY STRAYER, MASTER GARDENER
One of the latest garden crazes is to have a ‘hanging basket’ attached to a pole, which makes it look like a pot on a perch. It’s really quite easy to make this addition to your landscape, and it will save money when compared to the ‘kits’ being sold by gardening retailers for over $100 a kit! Creating this beautiful centerpiece is easy, and gives the area where it is ‘perched’ an old world charm. For the post, I used a landscape timber, and cut it 2 feet longer than I wanted it to be when finished. We dug the hole with a post hole digger, 2 feet deep into the soil. You could use any type of fencing timber or other substantial post. You can decide whether or not to paint the post, or leave it natural. Ours was left natural; who wants to paint a post each season? Once the post was planted, you had to decide what type of basket would work best.
Since I placed the post close to a water supply, I decided to use a wrought iron basket. Since it holds a coir/moss liner, it would be perfect for the area; extra water/rain would run out, so it worked like a charm. We attached the basket to the post using 2” heavy duty fencing staples. A vine will be planted in the newly disturbed soil under the basket. This year I am considering vining blooming spinach, Malabar spinach for a different look. For now, since it is still very cool weather, pansies will fill the basket, and draw attention to the entryway of the house. Now it’s important to think about the placement of the post, whether it will take sun or shade flowers. Pansies are great for now, but as the summer heat approaches, you will need to change them out, and plant other places where they stay a bit cooler. Think about vines, so they will hang over the edges of the bas-

Angelonia, as well as zinnia, salvia and cleome make up the remainder of the basket. These are only suggestions.

The remains of the worst railroad wreck in the history of Huron has been removed and most of the damage to the Main Street tracks has been repaired and the fast trains are again rushing through the village limits as if pursued by the mythical character wearing two horns and a long, forked tail. The speedometer of the engine registered 92 miles per hour when checked by local officials. Eyewitnesses said there were great clouds of dust and smoke but very little noise during the period when mail and baggage cars were tossed around like toys. Damages were estimated at over a million dollars. The only fatality was Engineer James C. Williams of Cleveland. Roger Moore, teacher in the local schools, who was driving a bus containing children, had halted on the south side of the crossing to wait for the passage of the train. When he saw the engine begin to rock, and realized the front tracks had left the rails, he hurriedly backed the machine out of danger and hurried the frightened children to their homes. Employees of the Erie County Farm Bureau Coop Assn’n were in close proximity to the wreck and they ran in different directions to get out of the danger zone. The news of the Wreck was flashed immediately by radio to the various press services to all parts of the country and bought an influx of reporters and newspaper photographers to cover the story. Crowds of people posed a traffic problem for local officials. Visitors continued to come and the workers who cleaned up the mess never lacked for an audience.

Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet “Fantasy Overture” and Bernstein’s Overture to West Side Story are two excellent examples in this concert.

Habitat For Humanity Firelands Habitat for Humanity is looking for families in the Norwalk area who may qualify to be Habitat homeowners! Habitat for Humanity chooses families on the basis of three criteria: Need – they must have a need for housing. This can be anything from structural problems to living in an unsafe neighborhood to excessive costs for existing space. Ability to pay – the family must demonstrate an ability to make a timely monthly mortgage payment including escrow for taxes and insurance. Total payments for mortgage, escrow and utilities are estimated between $500-600/month. Mortgages are written at ZERO percent interest for a length not to exceed twenty-five years. Willingness to Partner – the family must agree to put in 400 – 500 hours of “sweat equity” labor, attending workshops on homeowner related topics and helping to build the houses of others as well as their own. Our program is geared toward individuals and families who fall within the range of 30% to 60% of HUD Median income limits. As an example: For a family of 3 in Huron Co, this would be between $14,850-$29,700 gross income. For a family of 4, the range would be $16,500 - $33,000. Informational meetings are scheduled to be held on Monday, April 13th at 10:30 am at the Huron County Job and Family Services, 185 Shady Lane, Norwalk. Interested persons should call the Firelands Habitat office at 419-433-2609 or 1-877-374-3487 or log onto our website at www.firelandshabitat.org Firelands Habitat for HumanityReStore Firelands Habitat for Humanity ReStore, 11001 Route 250, Milan, Ohio is open from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. weekly on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Schools Kick Some Butts Video Contest NORWALK —A team from EHOVE Career Center received first place honors in the eighth annual Kick Some Butts antitobacco video contest, sponsored by the Tobacco Education Awareness Management Committee (TEAM). Team members Alec Hayes of South Central High School, Cory Herman of Margaretta High School and Nikke Hall of Norwalk took top honors in the semifinals for their commercial “Emphazilla .” Their entry, a parody of the Japanese Godzilla films, was created in Adobe Premiere Pro and PhotoShop. First Place honors included a $1,000 cash prize. Second place received a plaque and $800 and was awarded to John Subtirelu of Hicksville High School for his commercial “Smoking Ruins the Fun”. Third place, a plaque and $500 was awarded to Megan Gallaway, Courtney Carper, Ally Reineke of Ashland High School for “Recipe for Death.” “This contest has grown annually as students enthusiastically embrace the opportunity to showcase their creativity and communicate their message on tobacco use,” said Kim Bailey, a registered respiratory therapist at FTMC and a member of the Tobacco Education Awareness Management Committee. “Students address a variety of topics including secondhand smoke, dangers of cigarettes or cigar smoking, and smokeless tobacco products in their videos.” Each of the remaining finalists received a plaque and $200. This year’s finalists and their videos are: “Will She Stop Believing in You Too?” by Monroeville High School’s team: Ra-
chel Schaffer, Carrie Wilhelm, Joy Thompson, Katie Drown and Nicki Ott; “Smoking Hurts” by Norwalk High School’s team: Brandon Kelsey, Jeremy Wiedle, Kelly Caldwell, Hannah Douglas and Jordan More; “Be Different” by Ashland
High School’s team: Preston Millhouse and Aaron Pittenger; “Up In Smoke” by Monroeville High School’s team: Tori Rogers, Mike Heft and Adam Mastroianni; “At What Price?” by Bellevue High School’s team: Kaitlynn Sharp, Katie Smith and Dylan Orwig; “Infomercial” by EHOVE Career Center’s team: Graham Pisano of Huron High School and Meagan
Paramore of Western Reserve High School; “Dead On” by Revere High School’s team: Patrick Alfieri, Jacob Medvick, Taryn Seeman and Zach Slifcak. The committee also selected the commercial “Smoking Fairy,” created by Katie MacFarland and Emily Turner of Clyde High School , as the winner of the “Larry Hanneman Award”. This award is given to an entry that did not place in the top 10 but that the committee felt deserved recognition. All eleven videos can be viewed at www.midlandlung.org. The contest was open to area high school students in grades 9-12. To participate, students were invited to form teams of no more than 5 students, and create their own 30-second anti-tobacco commercial. This year, there were 71 entries from 16 high schools throughout Northwest and Central Ohio. From these entries, 10 semi-finalists were chosen. Final judging of the anti-tobacco commercials was held on March 25 in the Fisher-Titus Learning Center at Norwalk High School. This year, the date was chosen to coincide with the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids Kick Butts Day, a national day of activism that empowers youth to speak up and take action against tobacco use. Sponsors of the contest include the American Lung Association, American Cancer Society, The Bellevue Hospital, Bellevue; Firelands Regional Medical Center, Sandusky; Fisher-Titus Medical Center, Norwalk; Fremont Memorial Hospital, Fremont; Kaiser-Wells Pharmacy, Norwalk; Magruder Hospital, Port Clinton and Samaritan Regional Health Systems, Ashland.

of April. Many of the senior art students are featured. Many of these students will be studying art at various colleges in the Fall. The students worked in a variety of types of art medias such as watercolor painting, acrylic and oil painting, pencil, white and black charcoal. According to Mrs. Patty VanBarg, Huron High School art teacher, We have added a class this year in Digital Photography and have feature some of the pictures taken in that class. Each week the students have a picture taking assignment. For example, this week the students were asked to take studio Style photographs. They set up studios in there homes as well as taking pictures on locations that would be appropriate such as in front of an old brick wall. They used their newly acquired skills such as, framing, angles, negative space, repetition, rule of thirds, and various camera settings and modes. After they capture these images they bring them into the classroom to edit and manipulate the pictures on the Adobe Photoshop application. They can remove blemishes,

existing home, you’ve probably already thought about some of the construction features you want to include. Did you know there are products available now that may help you avoid the mess and expense of damage to your home in the future? Here are a few ideas: Impact-resistant roofing is a relatively new product that offers more protection against impact damage (and in some cases against wind damage) than the ordinary roof. Some insurance companies even offer premium discounts for qualifying impact-resistant roofs. You’ll want to check with your agent before you buy to be sure the roof you’re considering qualifies for a discount with your insurer. Whole-house surge protection is installed either at the electrical service meter or at the service panel. It helps protect your home and contents against power surges that arise outside your home. While you’d still need plugin surge protectors, whole-house protection may help to reduce your risk of lightning damage. Many electricians can install this protection for you, and if necessary, some power companies will install it at the service meter for a nominal charge on your monthly bill. Whole-house water leak detection systems may save you the hassle of water damage to your home and contents. These systems shut off the water supply to your home if they detect a leak inside. New research and products to make your home safer or more resistant to damage are always entering the market. It’s easier to add safety items when a home is being built or remodeled, so it’s a good idea to keep an eye out for the items that will help to provide years of safe and comfortable shelter.
