Have Some Time? We Could Sure Use Some Help The Huron Bicentennial Float is a work in progress, thanks to Dick and Evie Durkin. A few months ago a conceptual image of the float appeared in this paper. Pictured here is our Bicentennial Float as it appeared this Monday. The finished product will be part of the Huron Riverfest Parade in July. Between now and parade time, Dick could use some help both in the construction and the funding of the float. Please call or visit the Huron Chamber of Commerce office at 419- 433-5700 if you would like to help with the float! See our progress pictures on the right.

Bicentennial Committee Dedicates Tree Honoring Audrey Huron’s Bicentennial Committee is honoring the late Audrey Curtis Mackiewicz on Memorial Day with a tree dedicated to her memory. According to Committee Chair, Sharon Barnes, “this honor is most fitting: Audrey, a WWII Veteran, was active in Memorial Day activities throughout her life. Her Curtis family was one of the first to settle in Huron 200 years ago. In addition, Audrey played an important role in the past two community birthday celebrations (at 150 and 175 years). The script for the 1959 Sesquicentennial’s Huron Story was based on Audrey’s written account of Huron’s history. Audrey Mackiewicz was an active and productive member of our community, state and country all of her life.”
Honor Your Graduates!!! Submit your dedications to the HHN office by May 28, 2009

Taxes Missed the April 15th Deadline? We have had a few calls from people who waited too long and missed the April 15th for filing/ mailing their returns and I know there are more out there. If you are one of them don’t just push it all into the back of the drawer and try to forget I especially if you think you owe. FROM DEE HARTLEY, Read on to see what IRS SENIOR TAX ADVISOR and Ohio tell us about AT H & R BLOCK penalties for late filing. The penalties grow by the month so seeking help and getting that return filed now can save you dollars and that nagging dreadful feeling every time you look at that drawer. Our Tax Professionals are ready to help you year round. Taxpayers who do not file their return and pay their tax by the due date may have to pay a penalty. Here are seven things you should know about failure-to-file and failureto-pay penalties.
The failure-to-file penalty is generally more than the failure-to-pay penalty. So if you cannot pay all the taxes you owe, you should still file your tax return and explore other payment options in the meantime. The penalty for filing late is usually 5 percent of the unpaid taxes for each month or part of a month that a return is late. This penalty will not exceed 25 percent of the taxpayer’s unpaid taxes. If you file your return more than 60 days after the due date or extended due date, the minimum penalty is the smaller of $135 or 100 percent of the unpaid tax. You will not have to pay a failure-to-file penalty if you can show that you failed to file on time because of reasonable cause and not because of willful neglect. You will have to pay a failure-to-pay penalty of ½ of 1 percent of your unpaid taxes for each month or part of a month after the due date that the taxes are not paid. If you filed an extension and you paid at least 90 percent of your actual tax liability by the due date, you will not be faced with a failure-to-pay penalty. If both the failure-to-file penalty and the failure-to-pay penalty apply in any month, the 5 percent failure-to-file penalty is reduced by the failure-to-pay penalty. However, if you file your return more than 60 days after the due date
or extended due date, the minimum penalty is the smaller of $135 or 100% of the unpaid tax. And from Ohio A failure-to-file penalty, the greater of $50 per month up to a maximum of $500, or 5% per month up to a maximum of 50% of the tax, may be charged if you fail to file your Ohio income tax return by the due date or the extended due date. A failure-to-pay penalty of double the interest charged generally will apply if you do not pay the tax by April 15, 2009. However, this penalty does not apply if (i) you obtained an IRS extension of time to file, (ii) your total payments made by April 15, 2009 equal or exceed 90% of your total Ohio tax (make any required payments An additional $50 bad-check charge may be imposed against any taxpayer whose payment is dishonored by the bank. Except for certain military service members Stationed Outside Ohio, interest will be applied from the date the tax should have been paid (April 15, 2009) until the date of payment. The interest rate for 2009 is 5%. Penalties also may apply.

why ? Bruce Roberts tells the story of his orthopedic surgery ...
Why I Chose Firelands for Orthopedic Surgery “Last winter when I slipped on ice and broke my leg I was rushed to Firelands Regional Medical Center’s Emergency Room. Upon arrival, I was evaluated by the ER physician who found that I had a complicated fracture. The ER physician called in Dr. Kam Wong, an orthopedic surgeon on staff at the hospital, for an orthopedic consult. Because the one break in my leg was so bad, Dr. Wong had to insert a metal rod and screws to fix it. He explained that it was best to have the surgery within 24 hours, which I did. Now I’m back at work and able to get around again. Best of all, Dr. Wong said I’ll be able to snow ski next year!”
Kam M. Wong, MD is an orthopedic surgeon on the Medical Staff at Firelands. Firelands Regional Medical Center was rated Best in the Area for Overall Orthopedics by a National Independent Healthcare Ratings Company. For more information, please call Firelands Active Lifestyle Center at 419-557-7687.

Driving around the county this week, I noticed the large numbers of Peonies and Iris’s growing in the various gardens. Almost every yard had at least a small sampling and they will all be wonderfully gorgeous. I remember Peonies growing at my parent’s home; my aunt, who lived in MARY STRAYER, Illinois, was a propagator of Peonies, MASTER so my Mother had many different GARDENER varieties for her time. We had deep velvety dark red one, and fluffy pink ones, and various combinations of white ones, and each one prettier than the one before. These days there are many varieties, from single flowered with fluffy pom-pom like centers to the wonderful boastful Peony tree. They come in white, pinks, salmon, fuchsia, butter yellow, and various tones of red. Bi-colored Peonies are also available from catalogs. They are all worth considering. It is my experience that the tree Peonies bloom first around the middle of May, the remainder following near the end of May, first of June. Their foliage is dark green, and continues to make a statement in your landscape throughout the growing season. It is a good idea to plant other perennials around Peonies to keep color interest growing in your gardens. Peonies are sold year round, and planted when received. There is an old wives tale that says you can only dig or transplant Peonies only in months ending with “er”. I have always followed this, and my Peonies have done well. Peonies are wonderful as cut flowers, and give any room that old fashioned look. They usually have a great fra-

grance, and fill the room with their heavenly scent. This year, I have coming a yellow peony, as well as a deep lavender colored one. Last year, these were the two newest colors available. This year there is a myriad of others to choose from. Iris’s are a great bloomer, and have matured from their original state of being just known as common “flags”. You can find Iris’s blooming most of the month of May with some blooming as late at mid-June. There are all types of species of Iris’s now, including Japanese, Siberian, bearded, and miniatures. Their colors vary from white, to yellow, all tones of purples and purple-blacks, as well as pinks, corals, and oranges. The commercial growers like to state in their catalogs that it is impossible to collect all the variations of Iris’s available on the market today. Iris’s come to you from local greenhouses, general merchandise stores, as well as nurseries and mail order. If you watch closely, local plant sales also offer a great variety of iris, at very reasonable prices. You can plant them anytime of the year, except the dead of winter, i.e. January through March. Most Iris’s like to be planted with the very top of their bulbs out of the soil, and they need to be sprinkled yearly with dust to stop the grubs from using them for dinner. They grow well in our Zone 5 area, and spread each year. Because of this spreading, they need to be lifted at least every third year, separated and replanted. If you choose to pick Iris’s, pick them early morning or late evening, and thrust them into room temperature water as you cut their stems. Each blossom will hold a day or two, and then the next one will open. Most Iris’s do have a great scent, and make a lovely addition to any room. Happy Gardening!

Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it s illegal to request any money before delivering its service.
