Ditton believes that the children’s education as well as the community as a whole benefits when families have fun together And that’s one other important reason “Everyone loves to party so we have parties all the time We eat and then we play” Ditton says “We really lucked out we've got fabulous neigh- bors” Her neighbors think the same thing about her “Everybody loves ha and she loves everybody You rarely meet anyone in life like her” says neighbor Kimbaly Jolley “There's nobody better you can honor than her” Kristi Bodrero calls Ditton a great mom outgoing patient talented and “an awesome lady" “She’s more than willing to drop anything for anybody in the neighborhood” Payne says It seems like everyone in the neighborhood has the same attitude of service Obituaries year was very low — with only one of 174 tax returns audited in fiscal 2002 In fiscal 1996 one in 60 — or 167 percent — of tax returns was audited Those who made more than $100000 annual! were slightly more likely to audited than those who made less than $100000 About of those polled said they do not think an audit of their taxes is likely “I don’t worry about it because I’m pretty honest" said Bene Cloutier a ' occupational therapist from Randolph Mass She said she does not think those who cheat on income taxes in a minor way should be pun-ished or “they should get a warning and maybe a fine" People were about evenly divided on whether people caught cheating on their taxes in a minor way should be punished Those who felt they should be punished were most inclined to say the taxpayer caught cheating in a minor way should pay a fine Most minor problems with a tax return that arise from an audit result in the collection of tax payments plus interest and failure to pay can result in further financial penalties said Bruce Friedland an IRS spokesman three-fourt- beth She was bom 1 K 9 oz and 12 inches long The doctor who deiivetad her caled her a Brandon Val Ballard Brandon Ttiessedbaby'accorrlngto
