Danny
Dear Purrspective Companions, My name is Danny. As you can see, I'm quite the refined gentleman. I've been melting hearts for about ten years and I don't plan on stopping any time soon. I came to the CCC with my two sons in tow, and after eight years together I watched them go off to their furrever homes. It's just me now, and even though everyone who meets me says they've fallen in love, it's hard to make the cut when you're surrounded by fresh faces. I think I'm pretty handsome, don't you? I still have plenty of pep in my step and I like to play, but I'm really a cool cat at heart who would prefer a quiet home with warm laps to snuggle in. Will it be yours?
Your filter can’t just shake it off.
Grab a clean one from NAPA.
The CCC is in need of supplies, especially litter (Scoop Away), bleach, laundry detergent, dry and wet cat and kitten food (Purina/Friskies), paper towels, trash bags, and treats! Any help is very much appreciated! We are located at 289 Thompson Road in Webster and are open Thursday through Sunday 12pm-3:30pm. You can see more of our adoptable cats on Petfinder and Adopt-a-pet and we would love it if you would follow us and share our kitties on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com /pages/Community-Cat Connection/18375625177438.

Are You Eating Enough Vegetables a Day? (NewsUSA) - Sponsored News Only nine percent of Americans are meeting their daily recommended consumption of vegetables, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This May, National Salad Month, make an extra effort to get your greens and meet the 2016 USDA Dietary Guidelines, which recommend that you consume between two and three cups of vegetables per day.

Homeowners liable for snow and ice control
(BPT) - Whenever it snows, it is common to see shopping center employees and business owners out and about clearing pathways, parking spaces and entrances of snow and ice. But this isn't just good business to help customers get in the door, it is also a liability issue should someone slip, fall and injure themselves. Homeowners, too, face similar, albeit more limited, liability if they fail to take adequate steps to remove such slippery hazards from their property. Generally speaking, homeowners are responsible for limiting dangers on their property, but in some cases this can also extend to public sidewalks abutting the home. In some localities, Homeowners Associations (HOAs), and governments also require that homeowners clear snow and ice or face fines. A regional survey of county and municipal ordinances conducted by the Salt Institute found that 83 percent have written

policies directing property owners to remove accumulated snow and ice "within 24 hours of the end of the snowstorm." Penalties for property owners not complying can range from nominal tickets to misdemeanors punishable by up to 90 days in jail and fines of up to $500. Shoveling snow is simple enough, but ice is another matter, and nothing works better to remove ice or prevent ice from forming than salt. Salt lowers water's freezing point, the temperature at which it changes from a liquid to a solid and vice versa. Melting water that is already frozen is called deicing and is applied once ice appears. Preventing water from freezing in the first place is called anti-icing and is applied when a freeze is expected. Commercially available anti-icing materials include salt (sodium chloride), calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, potassium acetate and calcium magnesium acetate. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, but salt brine
remains the best choice for antiicing in temperatures above 15 degrees F (minus 9.4 degrees C) and continues to work in temperatures as low as minus 6 degrees F. For extremely low temperatures, look for a mixture using calcium or magnesium chloride instead.

The Right to Pay No More than the Correct Amount of Tax Taxpayers have the right to pay no more than the correct amount of tax they owe. This is one of ten basic rights known collectively as the Taxpayer Bill of Rights. This tip is the third in a series outlining these rights.

-Two years from the date they paid the tax. • Taxpayers who receive a letter from the IRS should review the information in it. The taxpayers who believe the information is incorrect should contact the office listed in the letter. The letter also provides a date by which the taxpayer should respond.
• The IRS may automatically correct math errors on a return. Taxpayers who disagree with the adjustment must request that the IRS reverse the change. The taxpayer has 60 days to make this request from the time the IRS made the change, or otherwise the taxpayer will lose Here are some things taxpayers the right to dispute the adjustment should know about the right to pay in United States Tax Court before no more than the correct amount: paying the tax. Taxpayers have the right to pay only the amount of tax legally due. This includes interest and penalties. Additionally, taxpayers can expect to have the IRS apply all tax payments properly.
•Taxpayers who overpaid their taxes can file for a refund. Taxpayers must file a claim for a credit or refund by the later of these two dates: - Three years from the date they filed their original return.

• Taxpayers may request that the IRS remove any interest from their account caused by unreasonable IRS errors or delays. For example, this could happen if the IRS delays
issuing a late notice because an IRS employee was out of the office, and interest accrues during that time. • If a taxpayer believes they do not owe all or part of their bill, they can submit an offer in compromise. This offer asks the IRS to accept less than the full amount owed. To do this, taxpayers use Form 656-L, Offer in Compromise.
• Some taxpayers enter a payment plan to pay their taxes. This plan is an installment agreement. The IRS must send these taxpayers an annual statement that provides how much the taxpayer: - Owes at the beginning of the year. - Paid during the year. - Still owes at the end of the year.

4 Simple Ways To Extend The Life Of Your Vehicle
trains while negatively affecting fuel efficiency and wearing down brakes, states the National Institute of Automotive Service Excellence.
Automobiles are significant investments. According to Kelley Blue Book, the average transaction price for light vehicles was $34,968 in January 2017, marking a 3 percent increase from just a year earlier.
2. Maintain a clean vehicle. Car washes do more than just clean a vehicle. Routine washing and waxing can remove dirt that, if left on a vehicle, can gradually scratch paint and contribute to chips and rust. Over time, rust can affect vehicle performance and may even compromise the safety of drivers and their passengers if bad enough frame rust affects structural integrity. Routine washing also can remove road salt from vehicles. Salt can build up during winter when roads are routinely treated during and after snowstorms. Road salt can be extremely corrosive and, if left unremoved from a vehicle, can contribute to rust that ultimately can cause extensive damage to a vehicle.
The decision to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a new vehicle is not one consumers should take lightly. Once drivers purchase their new vehicles, they can protect their investments and get greater returns on those investments by prioritizing maintenance and taking simple yet effective steps to extend the lives of their cars and trucks. 1. Drive defensively. Aggressive driving is dangerous and can have adverse effects on a vehicle. When driving, always obey posted speed limits and avoid accelerating and decelerating quickly. Such a style of driving can strain vehicle engines and drive

can affect engine performance by forcing it to work harder than should be necessary. Engines that are forced to work harder than they need to likely won’t last as long as those that run efficiently. Low tire pressure also negatively affects fuel efficiency, potentially costing drivers substantial amounts of money over time. Drivers of older vehicles without tire pressure alerts should routinely check tire pressure and keep tires adequately inflated. Vehicles that are slow to accelerate from resting positions may not have enough air in their tires.

Deathbed Scenes as Death of Community in Mid-20th Century Irish-American Fiction with Beth O’Leary Anish SOUTHBRIDGE - For the first 100 years that the Irish lived in cities of the northeastern United States, they mostly inhabited ethnically homogeneous neighborhoods, with Catholic parishes at their center. Just after World War II, however, thanks in part to economic incentives provided to returning soldiers, the Irish in America began dispersing to the suburbs. The environment in which Irish Americans lived began to change drastically during this time period. In rising up and out of the urban ghetto, they had gained material comfort, but they had lost the safety net that was their Irish neighborhoods. This loss provoked anxiety over blending anonymously into the rest of white America, losing their uniqueness and possibly their values. Irish-American novelists in the decade after World War II strove to capture the Irish-American community of their grandparents they saw fading away. This presentation to be held on Thursday, March 15 from 6;30pm to 7:30pm at the Jacob Edwards Library will discuss some of the historical factors that caused this change in make-up of the Irish-American community. It will then examine how novels from this time period use the death of a community elder to symbolize the disappearance of the concentrated ethnic neighborhoods, those familiar Irish-American environments, of the authors’ youths. Edward McSorley’s Our Own Kind (1946),
Mary Doyle Curran’s The Parish and The Hill (1948), and Edwin O’Connor’s The Last Hurrah (1956) express concern for what the Irish had become when they lost the core of values represented in the immigrant generation. Wakes, keening, and deathbed confessions function in these novels both as literal, traditional send offs for elderly immigrant characters, and as symbolic farewells to the set of values they represent. Celebrate St Patrick’s Day SOUTHBRIDGE - Come to the Jacob Edwards Library in Southbridge on Thursday, March 15 and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. This is an All Day Event. There will be an “All day” Craft and story at 3pm in the Children’s Room.
