Hiram’s movie theater will screen four superhero films leading up to what is expected to be one of the summer’s biggest blockbusters.
The summer movie season is set to start with a squad of superheroes. The Avengers opens across the country Friday, and anyone who is a fan of the series knows it is packed with some of Marvel Comics’ best-known superheroes. But hours before those heroes' big summer premiere, some of their earlier adventures will be presented on the big screen locally.

Friday represents the sixth of seven furlough days during the current fiscal year.
Those who have business they need to take care of this week at a county government office have until the end of the day today to get it done. Paulding County government offices will be closed Friday for a furlough day—one of seven during this fiscal year. Friday represents the sixth furlough day of fiscal year 2012; the final furlough day is set for June 1. The Paulding Board of Commissioners approved the furlough days last June. The closure of government offices on those seven days—all Fridays, with most preceding holiday weekends—was a move aimed at saving an estimated $566,000 as part of an approximately $2.3-million package of spending cuts. The furlough days will not affect the county’s public safety operations.

Breathe easy if you didn’t file Sunday, because this year, Tuesday, April 17, is the actual deadline to file your taxes. Here are a few suggestions for last-minute filers.

Monday, April 16, 2012
Don’t panic if you didn’t get your taxes filed before midnight Sunday. While April 15 is typically the tax-filing deadline each year, taxpayers are getting this year two extra days to file. That’s because Emancipation Day, a legal holiday in Washington, D.C., is being observed today, and under the federal tax code, filing deadlines can't fall on Saturdays, Sundays or holidays. In short, you’ve got all day today, and then most of the day tomorrow to get your tax documents sent off to the Internal Revenue Service. We say most of the day because if you’re looking to send off your taxes by mail, you’ll most likely have to get to the post office before dinnertime. Locally, you’ll have until the normal closing time of 5 p.m. to get your taxes …

Potential pets from Paulding County Animal Control need a home—can you provide one?
We’re not calling this article “Last Chance” because it’s your final opportunity to adopt a pet at a good price—but rather, because it’s the last chance for an animal that might make a good pet in your home. Paulding County Animal Control’s “Save a Life Tuesday” program allows potential pet owners each Tuesday to adopt animals scheduled for euthanasia the next day for $10, which covers the cost of the pet’s microchip. Animal control typically offers the program each Tuesday unless its facility is closed to the public that day for some reason. The flyer for “Save a Life Tuesday” is attached to this article. For those who take advantage of “Save a Life Tuesday,” we invite you to upload to this article photos and/or videos of your new pet—…
