City council suggests cuts for 2016 budget

By KYLE WILSON

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

Creston City Council has gone through the proposed 2016 budget with a fine-tooth comb and Thursday evening brought concrete suggestions on how to slice $216,000 from the general fund in that budget.

City officials told the council Tuesday that $216,000 needs cut in order for the general fund — which currently stands at about

$550,000 — to remain at a safe operating level of $750,000.

The council’s suggestions for cutting that amount were as follows: • Consolidating park/cemetery: A full-time employee with the city’s cemetery department is reaching retirement age. The council discussed — when said employee does retire — not replacing him and consolidating the park and cemetery departments under one manager. This would save between $60,000 and $80,000 in the

general fund.

Mike Taylor, city administrator, said there would be challenges with this consolidation, but nothing that couldn’t be ironed out.

• Freezing wages: The council discussed freezing wages for all non-bargaining employees. This would save approximately $22,000 in the general fund for FY2016.

Rich Madison, ward 2 city councilman, was also in favor of cutting the council and mayor’s wages in half, which would save about $9,000 in FY2016 and a total of

$18,000 each year following.

“That may be a small amount, but we need to make the gesture that if you guys are going to hurt, we’re going Madison with you,” Madison said.

• Hotel/motel money: The city receives about $140,000 in hotel/ motel funding each year. That funding comes from taxes assessed

on those who stay in Creston hotels.

Taylor said about 75 percent of the $140,000 is used each year for events/activities that promote area tourism with the council rarely saying “no” to any project or event. However, it’s only required that 50 percent of hotel/motel money be used for tourism and the remaining money can be used in the general fund. This move could Please see BUDGET, Page 2

‘Murder at the Auction’ to fund Carson claims scholarships for Creston YMCA self-defense in

double homicide

By IAN RICHARDSON CNA staff reporter

irichardson@crestonnews.com

The Supertel Inn and Conference Center will be wrapped up in mystery on Feb. 7, and the sleuth who solves the case could be you.

The event, titled “Murder at the Auction,” will benefit the Southern Prairie YMCA’s scholarship fund, which helps provide Y memberships to people and families who can’t afford them on their own.

Beginning at 5 p.m., activities will include a dinner catered by Upper Crust, a cash bar, an auction and an evening-long audience-participation murder mystery produced by members of the Southwestern Community College Drama Club. As the night progresses, guests will attempt to unravel the clues of who the murderer—or will it be murderers?—really are.

Kelly Franklin, SWCC Drama Club adviser, said the club will begin the act as soon as the evening starts.

“We will all be getting there about the same time everybody else is, and we will be letting things slip about our characters,” Franklin said.

The characters will continue to mingle with the guests

Local businesses and friends of the Y have donated these auction baskets, which currently line one of the walls at the Y’s entrance. Baskets include items ranging from musical instruments to purses to homemade apple pie. Guests at Saturday’s murder mystery will also have the chance to bid on three mystery boxes, which will contain either an iPad mini, 32-inch LED TV or Perry getaway package.

through dinner, and Franklin said these conversations will provide tidbits of information that are key to unravelling the motive behind the Franklin murder of one of the characters, which will take place after dinner.

Then, led by a character playing an inspector, the

audience will begin cracking the clues and cornering the culprit.

During the auction at the end of the night, the audience will submit their theories on who committed the crime, and those who guess correctly will be put in a drawing for a gift basket.

Franklin said the Drama Club designed the evening’s mystery themselves, and the creativity and improvisation of a performance like this is a welcome change of pace

for the students, who usually must fit into pre-written roles. The mystery is also fun because of the improvisational element involved, Franklin said, which makes no two practices exactly alike.

“There’s no written script,” she said. “The play evolves as to how the audience reacts to it. We have a plot that we’ve designed, Please see SCHOLARSHIPS, Page 2

An Osceola man charged with double homicide is claiming self-defense.

Richard Ryan Lamb Carson, 38, has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the d e a t h s Carson of Erick Reyna, 22, and Noe Flores Rascon, 27, both of Osceola.

On Saturday, Jan. 24, at approximately 9:30 p.m., Osceola Police Department received a report that Reyna and Rascon had gone missing during the evening hours on Friday, Jan. 23.

After further investigation, the two men were located Sunday, Jan. 25, in a vehicle at 1305 255th Ave., Osceola, in rural northern Clarke County. They were deceased. It appears both victims died of gunshot wounds.

Court report According to court documents, a female reported,

“Carson spoke of beating up her two friends and taking them into the county to dump them off.”

The documents show Carson told state investigators that he did get into an altercation with Rascon while in a vehicle outside of a residence in Osceola.

Carson said that during the altercation, a gun was presented and discharged.

Carson later told state investigators, “It was self-defense.”

Three other Osceola residents have been charged in connection to the double homicide: • Lynn Ranean Sutton, 47 — one count of accessory after the fact.

• Tracy Kay Johnson, 43 — one count of accessory after the fact.

• Christopher Martin Elben, 42 — one count of accessory after the fact.

Accessory after the fact is a result of the suspects helping the perpetrator after the crime had occurred.

was led by Osceola Police Chief Marty Duffus, Clarke County Sheriff Bill Kerns and Michael Motsinger, a special agent in charge of Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation.

Osceola Police Department is being assisted by Clarke County Sheriff’s Office and Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.

Duffus said Carson and the victims are acquaintances. The victims were also acquaintances with each other.

Two of the suspects charged are boyfriend and girlfriend and the others were acquaintances. Duffus said Carson and Johnson are the suspects who are in a relationship with each other.

“They’re all known to us,” Duffus said during the press conference about the suspects’ past criminal history.

Duffus said the investigation is still working on a motive for the homicide.

He said it’s unknown at this time if drugs were involved.

Ongoing investigation The investigation is ongoing, however, it appears this is an isolated incident and the public is not in danger.

A public evening vigil was held for the victims Tuesday, Jan. 27, on the square in Osceola.

ever-growing need in the community.

“Our mission has been over time to not turn away anybody for the inability to pay,” Steffen said.

Last year, the Y gave out $60,000 in scholarships, and Steffen said she is hoping to raise $20,000 to $25,000 for the fund through the ticket sales and auction.

Items up for auction include Y mem-

berships, handmade quilts, food packages, travel packages and many more items provided or sponsored by local businesses. The final three items up for auction will be “mystery boxes,” with each holding one of three prizes: an iPad MIni, a 32” LED TV or a Perry getaway package.

Tickets are $35 and can be purchased at the Y prior to the event.

and we just kind of let it go.”

Jacki Steffen, the Y’s executive director, said the idea for a murder mystery dinner rose from the desire to do something unique for a beginning-of-the-year fundraiser. This will be one of the year’s large events in funding the Y’s scholarship fund, which Steffen said meets an

save the city $70,000 each year.

• Other possibilities: The council discussed selling the “Taylor ground” on Cottonwood Street which the city purchased for about $295,000 in 2007. Nothing has been built on the ground since the purchase eight years ago.

The council discussed city employees paying more of their health insurance premiums. Currently, city employees pay 10 percent of their premiums. The council also discussed the possibility of “going out for bids” with third-party administrators/insurance companies to get the

best insurance rates available.

The city’s pool has also been on the chopping block, but consensus from the council Thursday was they didn’t want to close the pool.

“We need a place for our children to gather and exercise and socialize. There are a lot of kids that take advantage of that pool,” said Nancy Loudon, at-large city councilwoman.

However, closing the aging pool would save more than $80,000 in the 2016 budget and each following year.

There was also discussion about cutting back from five full-time firefighters to four.

This was not an idea that thrilled Creston Fire Chief

Todd Jackson.

“I hate to see one of the first cuts be to public safety,” Jackson said. “I don’t think that’s the place to start. If we have to cut a firefighter, though, I’d rather keep the career staff in place. That’s where my expertise is and dedication is.

If we’re going to reduce my budget, let’s look at my parttime staff first.”

Jackson currently has seven part-time employees.

The consensus by the end of Thursday’s 90-minute meeting, though, was that cutting public safety would be a last resort in fixing the current budget issues.

All suggestions from the council will now be weighed

Iowa State faces federal inquiry on sexual violence cases AMES (AP) — A federal agency is investigating the adequacy of Iowa State University’s response to reports of sexual violence against students, including a woman who says she was raped last year, the school confirmed Thursday.

Iowa State officials have turned over thousands of documents to the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights about the female student’s case and prior reports of sexual violence, school spokesman John McCarroll said.

Iowa State is one of more

than 90 colleges being investigated as part of a crackdown on what the Obama administration has called an epidemic of sexual assault on campuses.

It is the first of Iowa’s three public universities to face an investigation, which could lead to fines and changes in procedure if investigators find any violations of federal laws that prohibit sex discrimination in education.

Drake University, a private school in Des Moines, is also facing an investigation.

An Oct. 15 letter from the federal office to Iowa State

University President Steven Leath said it had received a complaint alleging the alleged rape victim faced gender discrimination in how the university responded to her report of being assaulted by a male student.

“The complaint raises whether the university fails to promptly and equitably respond to complaints, reports and/or incidents of sexual violence of which it had notice,” including the woman’s report, “thereby creating for students a sexually hostile environment,” supervisory attorney Karen Tamburro

Western Iowa fire chief resigns after volunteers suspended SHELBY (AP) — The fire chief in western Iowa’s Shelby has resigned following the dismissal of the town’s volunteer firefighters.

Fire Chief Eric Wendt stepped down Wednesday just days after the City Council’s suspension of all firefighters at the Shelby Volunteer Fire Depart-

ment. The city of about 640 is now relying on service in Minden and Avoca for emergency response.

Wendt tells the Council Bluffs Daily Nonpareil he resigned for personal reasons, not because of the firings. He says since he was the only one serving the department, he didn’t want to be

and considered by city officials. Taylor said revisions will be made and a new proposed budget will hopefully be available to the council Tuesday.

It’s mandated the city’s budget be certified by March 15. Taylor said the plan moving forward is for the council to agree on and adopt a proposed budget by Feb. 17.

A public hearing would then be held March 3.

The council decided Monday that the department’s fundraising proceeds should be under council control, something the volunteers didn’t want.

Wendt says the council now oversees the department and is accepting volunteer applications.

wrote.

The university police department filed a criminal complaint against the alleged perpetrator earlier this month — more than eight months after the incident, McCarroll said.

A student disciplinary hearing is scheduled in February.

“This whole matter is still under review, obviously, but yes, we believe we are properly handling the case,” McCarroll said. “Having a safe campus has always been a very top priority for Iowa State University.”

ENTERTAINMENT

Coping with pet blindness Dear Readers: Our BELOVED PETS are like family. Like family, they age, but unfortunately dogs age more rapidly. Older dogs and cats face many of the same medical problems humans do. Having had the privilege of many, many dogs in our lives (plus birds, ferrets, cats and others, too), we have learned some hints along the way.

Our second mini schnauzer, Sauvignon (Savvi for short), became diabetic at about 11 years and required insulin shots. We all learned how to do this (even my husband, David, who hated needles!) without it being a big deal. After all, it prolonged her life (in pretty good health, too) for a year or so. She turned blind a year later, and we all learned how to cope with this also. She went to doggie Valhalla when she was 13 years old.

Here are some helpful hints from Heloise and family to help you and your pet deal with blindness: * Your dog can’t see someone approaching, so talk before touching or petting your pet, who can hear you. I used a calm voice and would say, “Savvi, I’m in the room” or “Savvi, want to have dinner?” * Leave things in place until

Hints from Heloise your pooch learns where the furniture is and how to navigate a room. Your pet knows your scent and will follow it through the house! * If there is something dangerous your pet might bump into (sharp corners on a glass table), pad the item, if needed.

Like a person, a pet who is going blind will take some time to adjust. Be patient and talk more when moving about. Your pet can still hear and smell, so these senses are heightened. — Hugs, Heloise P.S.: Our longtime friend and Savvi’s vet, Dr. Tom Vice, kindly reminded me: “She doesn’t read the newspaper or watch TV. She will adapt better than you think.” He was right!

Visit www.Heloise.com to see photos and read Savvi’s story.

I use a dry-erase marker to note where we will be. It wipes off and is ready for our next night out. — Sammie E., via email CAT CRATE Dear Heloise: We have an outside cat I feed regularly.

He is domesticated enough to bring in when the weather is much colder. I got a large plastic tub with a lid, cut a hole in the side and placed old towels BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker and blankets in the bottom.

Forget the pricey trip to the spa with simple DIY tips and tricks (BPT) — With a whole new year ahead, now is the perfect time to relax and refresh with at-home spa treatments that are easy, natural, luxurious and, best of all, affordable.

“Skin care does not have to be costly to be effective,” says Janet Little, director of nutrition at Sprouts Farmers Market. “By preparing your own body care products, you can have beautiful-looking skin, slow down premature skin aging and save money.”

As a matter of fact, you probably already have fresh and natural ingredients in your refrigerator and cupboards, or you can easily purchase them from a grocery store like Sprouts Farmers Market, says Little.

These simple ingredients can eliminate dry skin, reduce wrinkles, banish dark under eye circles and relax sore muscles. The advantages of homemade skin care products include: • Significant savings.

Most of the products that you’ll use are already in your home, and are less expensive than department store-bought skin care prod-

ucts or spa treatments.

• Avoiding harsh chemicals. Artificial ingredients found in typical drug store beauty products may contain cancer-causing compounds which can penetrate the skin and potentially cause harmful effects.

• Always natural and fresh. Skin care products purchased in a store contain preservatives to avoid bacteria contamination and growth. On the other hand, when you prepare your skin care items yourself you get a fresh and natural batch every time.

• Easy and fun to make.

Simple recipes take minutes to prepare, but can be just as effective as store bought products.

Here are a few easy, athome spa recipes that will leave you glowing: Gentle exfoliant: • Brown sugar is a natural and affordable exfoliant with many health benefits, while grapeseed oil gently and deeply moisturizes skin without clogging pores.

Ingredients: 1/2 cup grapeseed oil 1/2 cup brown sugar Mix together with your

fingers. Apply to face and body by rotating in a circular motion. Rinse off with warm water.

Firming facial mask: Egg white is great for tightening and toning skin and helps shrink pores. Yogurt is packed with vitamins and proteins which promotes strong wrinkle-free skin.

Ingredients: 1/2 tablespoon vitamin E oil

1 tablespoon yogurt 1 egg white Whisk together. Massage onto face and neck. Leave on for at least 20 minutes.

Rinse off with warm water.

Avocado-honey facial mask: Avocados are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, perfect for hydrating and great for moisturizing skin. Honey acts as a natural humectant, boosting skin’s hydration and is also a wonderful skin

lightening agent.

Ingredients: 1/2 avocado 1/2 cup Sprouts orange blossom honey First, place a cloth in warm water and apply to your face to open the pores.

Mash avocado until creamy, combine with honey and apply to face for 15 to 30 minutes. Rinse off with warm water, then use cold water to close the pores. Use once a week.

Wrinkle reducer: Banana is wonderful as an anti-wrinkle treatment.

Ingredients: 1 over-ripe banana Mash 1/4 banana until very creamy. Spread all over face and leave for 15-20 minutes before rinsing off with warm water followed by a dash of cold. Gently pat dry.

Under-eye circle treatment: Grated potatoes can lighten under-eye circles. Potatoes contain an enzyme called catecholase, which is used in cosmetics as a skin lightener.

Ingredients: 1 potato Cheese cloth

Run one spud through your food processor and stuff the raw mash into a piece of cheesecloth. Apply to the area directly beneath your eye - don’t let the potato juice come in contact with the eye itself - and leave for 15 to 20 minutes. Wipe away the starchy residue.

Tired and aching muscle relaxer: Epsom salts and essential oils are known for their powerful ability to sooth sore muscles and relieve aches and muscle pain.

1/2 cup Epsom Salt 5 drops lavender essential oil 2 drops chamomile essential oil Place Epsom salts in a mixing bowl and add drops of essential oil. Mix ingredients together and add to a hot bath.

When using natural ingredients, there are endless possibilities. If you don’t have the time to create your own in-home beauty products, Sprouts offers an assortment of high-quality body care products made with sustainable and ethically sourced ingredients at great values.

Harnessing your brain power can make you stronger In the 1970s, when psychic Uri Geller bent spoons, he claimed that he did it with his mind. Then debunker James “The Amazing” Randi revealed it was really a slick parlor trick — not super brainpower. So while neither Geller (or you) can bend metal by just thinking about it, there is a kind of super brainpower that can build your real muscle strength.

That’s the amazing discovery made at the Ohio Musculoskeletal and Neurological Institute. They recruited 29 adults to wear a cast immobilizing their hand and wrist. Fourteen of the cast-wearing volunteers were told to IMAGINE they were exercising their arm and hand by pushing against something as hard as they could. They did 13 reps of the brain exercise five days a week for a month.

The remaining cast-wearing participants didn’t do any visualization.

At the end of the month, the visualizers had lost about 24 percent of their muscle strength. The folks who wore the cast without doing brain exercises lost almost double that — 45 percent!

The nervous system, it turns out, can protect muscle strength during prolonged immobilization, whether from a cast or a long hospital stay. That’s important enough a discovery, but we suggest you apply it to everyday life. Daily, visualize yourself exercising (walking, jogging or doing resistance exercises). Imagine the effort that goes into increasing endurance. It’s a good way to boost your motivation, so exercise becomes a regular part of your

life and, who knows, you just might think yourself some extra muscle power along the way!

EASIER RECOVERY FROM KNEE REPLACEMENT IS POSSIBLE When anchorman Brian Williams had knee-replacement surgery in 2013, he blogged about the recovery, comparing it to his first knee surgery in 1977: “While the meds are better these days ... post-operative pain remains the same.” Most of the 600,000 folks who have knee-replacement surgery every year in North American would agree that the pain is pretty excruciating.

But for everyone with knee replacements on the horizon, there’s great news.

A new pain-control technique offers patients relief for up to two days post-op, speeding up recovery and increasing knee function.

In fact, many folks are up and walking hours after the surgery! What’s the secret?

A Henry Ford Hospital study says that injecting a long-acting numbing medicine — liposomal bupivacaine — into the tissue around the knee during surgery does the trick.

Unfortunately, as North Americans become increasingly overweight and obese, ever more people will need knee replacements: a June 2014 study found that 95 percent of current surgeries were attributable to overweight or obesity. We’re glad for you folks who need a new knee that there’s im-

proved pain control. But, honestly, you future candidates out there, wouldn’t you rather avoid the procedure altogether?

Well here’s another DoOver opportunity. If you get to and maintain a healthy weight, you may never need a knee replacement. So start walking, say “so long” to sodas, saturated and trans fats, sugary cereals and treats, and “hello” to nine servings of fruits and veggies a day.

That’s the bee’s knees!

ADVOCATING AVOCADOS The Super Bowl should be renamed the Super Guacamole Bowl! That’s when football-crazed Americans down around 78 million pounds of avocados — or 156 million of those succulent green-fleshed fruit. Most of avocados’ super-healthy goodness is mashed into guacamole, but unfortunately many of the 108 million Americans watching the game pile that guac on fried corn chips, high-LDL cholesterol-pumping nachos, fatty quesadillas or boffo burritos. That means a lot of the avocado’s hearthealth benefits gets lost in a stew of inflammation-promoting saturated fat foods (cheese, meat), trans fats (shortening used for frying) and processed grains (chips, white flour tortillas).

By itself, an avocado is a great way to lower your lousy LDL cholesterol — and to give yourself a major heart-loving boost. In a new study in Journal of the

American Heart Association, folks who ate ONE avocado a day for five weeks saw their LDL drop 13.5mg/ dL. If you try eating a daily avocado, make sure you keep a healthy balance in your overall diet. One avocado contributes about 260 calories, 15 grams of monounsaturated fat, and 3 grams each of polyunsaturated and saturated fats (close to the per-meal max of 4 grams sat fat). But don’t hesitate to incorporate avocado into salads, chopped into brown rice or quinoa, or mixed into yogurt with sliced almonds or chopped walnuts. To keep those avocado hearthealthy benefits on Super Bowl Sunday, make guac with organic ingredients the way Dr. Mike does: Mix in diced celery, peppers and carrots; serve with wholewheat chips.

DEVELOPING STRONGER POWERS OF CONCENTRATION The TV game show “Concentration” ran almost without interruption from 1958 to 1991, until at last its fans became permanently distracted. Not a bad run, but you don’t want your powers of concentration ever to get canceled!

Unfortunately, maintaining concentration while dealing with work, kids, family and who knows what can make it difficult to remember what you wanted to focus on! But research shows that the brain responds to cognitive strength training — and that can bolster concentration.

A group of researchers from the University of California, San Francisco came up with what we like to call “resistance training for

the brain.” On older folks (and lab rats too), they tested their technique, which teaches how to selectively suppress sensory responses to distractions. It seems that even lab rats can do it, so you don’t have any excuses!

To apply it to your life, we suggest this cool brain-training game: Intentionally read a book in the same room where the TV is on. Focus on the TV sound for a few seconds — don’t look at your book; then turn your gaze to your book and read one sentence slowly thinking ONLY about each word. Repeat the two steps a few times.

Next, tell yourself you’re aware of the TV noise and are going to stop reacting to it. Now try reading several paragraphs. Feel focused?

Try further challenging your concentration at various TV volumes. Learning to deal with and shut out distractions can help you train your brain and strengthen your powers of concentration.

SURPRISING SIGNALS THAT YOU’RE STRESSED OUT “Godzilla 2” is set for release in 2018, but talk about it is all over the blogosphere. Seems in the movie, scientist Nick Tatopoulos is determined to show his colleagues that the much-hunted creature is gentle. But when Nick nuzzles up to the big G, its “ roar is so odorific that it knocks him off his feet. (No spoiler alert needed; that’s not the whole plot.)

As a scientist, Nick should’ve expected that, because having a revved-up stress response can cause serious bad breath — and that creature is stressed! Stress hormones help oral bacte-

ria produce stinky sulfuric compounds, and dry mouth, which is also associated with stress, makes things worse.

But bad breath isn’t the only sneaky sign of stress.

Researchers at Carnegie-Mellon found that stress makes you almost twice as likely to catch a cold.

If you’re constantly battling that nighttime-coughing-sniffling-aching feeling, try a chill pill instead of a cold pill.

Dropping things also can signal you’re under stress, because stress disrupts focus. So if you’re constantly dropping stuff, pick up our advice for busting your stress response.

1. Mindful meditation 1030 minutes daily: instructions at sharecare.com.

2. Move it. Physical activity clears stress hormones and your mind, reduces inflammation and relaxes muscles. We suggest a walking program, aiming for 10,000 steps a day.

3.

Avoid inflammation-producing foods; they compound the inflammation stress causes (which leads to greater risk for everything from heart and kidney problems to some cancers). Skip added sugars and syrups, most saturated fat, all trans fats and any grain that isn’t 100 percent whole. *** Mehmet Oz, M.D. is host of “The Dr. Oz Show,” and Mike Roizen, M.D. is Chief Wellness Officer and Chair of Wellness Institute at Cleveland Clinic.

A READERSHIP FEATURE OF THE CRESTON NEWS ADVERTISER ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT

How the Affordable Care Act may affect your tax refund (BPT) — The Affordable Care Act (ACA) brings a lot of changes to this year’s tax code. Do you know if and how it will affect your tax refund?

Here are five tips from H&R Block to help you understand how your taxes and tax refund will be affected as a result of the biggest tax code change in more than 20 years.

1. Understand what will be different on your return as a result of the ACA. The ACA has created a new intersection between health care and taxes. Starting this year, three elements are administered through your tax return, including: • Reporting if you and members of your household have qualified health insurance.

• Accounting if you received any government assistance to help pay for your health insurance through your state’s exchange or HealthCare.gov.

• Determining a penalty, or exemption, if you, or someone in your household, don’t have insurance.

2. Be aware if you fall into one of the two main categories that could be affected the most: •You purchased insurance through the federal marketplace or state marketplace.

•You don’t have insurance and may have to pay the tax penalty.

If one of these applies to you, you might see the biggest change on your tax return.

3. If you received the Advance Premium Tax Credit, understand what will happen at tax time this year to settle up your credit.

If you or someone in your household received the credit, you must file a tax return so the credit can be reconciled. The estimated

income you reported will be compared to your actual income. This could affect you in two ways: • If your actual household income was more than you estimated, you may have to pay back some or all of the credit you received - up to the maximum repayment cap amount. This will likely reduce the amount of your tax refund, or add to your taxes due.

• If your actual household income was less than you estimated, you may get money credited to your return.

4. Determine if you qualify for an exemption.

Many people may qualify for an exemption to reduce or eliminate their ACA tax penalty. More than 30 available exemptions can apply, and they fall into two categories: • Exemptions you claim on your tax return.

• Exemptions granted by the Health Insurance Marketplace.

5. Complete and bring the necessary forms.

If you or a member of your household received the Advance Premium Tax Credit, you will receive the new form 1095-A from the

marketplace. Don’t forget to bring this form to your tax appointment - your tax return cannot be completed without it. It should be mailed to you by the marketplace by the end of January. If you don’t receive it, you should be able to access a copy through your marketplace account or by contacting the marketplace.

The bottom line is that the ACA could significantly impact your tax refund this year. One way to plan ahead this tax season is to visit your local H&R Block office on Jan. 8. Most H&R Block offices nationwide will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., giving consumers the opportunity to come in without an appointment and speak to an H&R Block ACA Specialist who can provide a no-charge ACA Tax Impact Analysis - your personalized review of how your taxes may be affected by the Affordable Care Act. You can also visit the H&R Block ACA website www.hrblock.com/acataximpact for easy-to-understand ACA information, infographics, videos and FAQs.

(BPT) — Are you making your bank account work for you? These days, checking accounts come with a variety of features, such as mobile alerts, that can help you take control of your finances and better manage your spending and saving.

Are you taking advantage of them?

The recent Bank of America Trends in Consumer Mobility Report found that while consumers are widely adopting online and mobile banking, less than one-third are using the mobile alerts feature for their finances.

Follow these tips to ensure you’re getting the most out of your banking relationship: • Stay in-the-know with mobile alerts. Many banks offer banking alerts via email or text that notify you when your balance is low, if a bill is due, when your paycheck is deposited and more. Alerts are a great way to keep track of the funds in your account and help avoid overdrafts and late payments.

• Set up direct deposit.

One of the easiest ways to get the most out of your checking account is by setting up direct deposit. With direct deposit your money is quickly and securely deposited into your account, and banks often use this feature as a qualifier to avoid monthly maintenance fees.

• Track your spending using online and mobile banking. Online and mobile banking are simple and easy ways to keep an eye on your account balance and spending. With your computer or smartphone, you can securely bank almost anytime, virtually anywhere.

Many online and mobile banking services also enable you to transfer funds

from your savings account to your checking to ensure purchases are covered.

• Use a debit card. Debit cards allow you to access your checking account conveniently and securely, without having to carry a lot of cash. You can use a debit card at a variety of locations worldwide or at ATMs for deposits, withdrawals or transfers between accounts.

What’s more, debit cards offer security if your card is lost or stolen or if fraudulent transactions occur.

• Pay your bills online, write fewer checks. Online bill pay provides an easy and convenient alternative to writing checks. Whether you’re paying the phone bill or paying back a friend for dinner, doing so with online banking keeps an electronic record of your balance, and eliminates the uncertainty of writing checks and waiting for them to be cashed.

• Learn how to help avoid overdrafts. It can be easy to lose track of your money when you’re busy balancing

Some banks are directly addressing this challenge by offering new accounts that specifically help protect customers from overdrafts, such as SafeBalance Banking from Bank of America.

“Some customers are seeking more predictability in the way they bank, and that includes preventing overdraft fees,” says Titi Cole, retail products and underwriting executive for Bank of America. “It is important for customers to know that there are accounts available to help you spend only what you have.”

House panel rejects bill on crossbow use for Iowa children The bill would have allowed children ages 16 and under with a youth deer hunting license to use a crossbow during other deer firearm seasons.

■

DES MOINES (AP) — Members of an Iowa House panel rejected a bill that would have expanded when children can use a crossbow to hunt deer.

The natural resources subcommittee tabled the bill indefinitely, which means it won’t advance this session.

The bill would have allowed children ages 16 and under with a youth deer hunting license to use a crossbow during other deer firearm seasons. The minor would have needed an unused tag.

Minors currently can use a crossbow during the late muzzleloader season between parts of December and January if they’re accompanied by a licensed adult. In that scenario, the adult needs a muzzleloader license and the minor needs a youth deer hunting li-

cense, according to the state Department of Natural Resources.

The Iowa Bowhunters Association, which supports archery through bow and arrow, expressed concern about expanding crossbow use to other seasons — including the archery season, which is around the end of the year.

Association member Don Avenson called a crossbow a complicated mechanism for a minor.

“I would not let a child of mine shoot a crossbow,” he said. “Intentionally, they’re as dangerous as a shotgun.”

A crossbow involves a bow being mounted on a mechanism that can be shot from a farther distance than a bow and arrow.

It is also heavier, a point that members of the bowhunters association say can make it more dangerous for minors to use.

Representatives of the group emphasized that they’re very supportive of minors hunting, as long as they do so responsibly.

Bill sponsor Rep. Matt Windschitl, a Republican from Missouri Valley, said he will work with interested parties to reword the bill for a future session.

Gilbertsville police chief stunned with Taser to raise money GILBERTVILLE (AP) — The Gilbertsville police chief has raised money in an unusual way to help purchase Tasers and body cameras for the department’s officers.

Police Chief Dave McGlaughlin allowed an officer to shock him using a Taser on Thursday night during halftime at a basketball game between Don Bosco High School and Columbus

High School.

The police chief says being stunned with a Taser felt like a jolt of electricity shot up his spine and says he couldn’t move. He says he did it to help out the department, but didn’t enjoy being shocked.

McGlaughlin is hoping to raise as much as $8,400 for the equipment. The department raised nearly $750 at the game.

Nationwide to move 175 jobs out of Des Moines to Columbus DES MOINES (AP) — Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co. has plans to move 175 jobs out of Des Moines to its Ohio headquarters.

Company spokesman Eric Hardgrove tells the Des Moines Register the company’s home mortgage operations will be relocated to headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, by mid-2016. He says the move can help streamline mortgage services and imc l I P

prove customer service.

Hardgrove says the relocation is not a reflection of poor performance in Des Moines.

He says current home mortgage employees can apply to other Nationwide operations or for different positions within the Des Moines branch, where about 230 positions are currently available.

Nationwide employs more than 4,000 people in Des Moines.

Businesses stay clear of using Super Bowl name For many business owners, it’s simply the “big game” or “game day.”

■

“Like any brand, we work to protect our valuable intellectual property and the rights we extend to our partners.”

— Brian McCarthy

NFL Spokesman

And the NFL is not the only sports organization to be vigilant about its brand. Congress has created protections for the U.S. Olympic Committee so it has exclusive rights to use “Olympics” and the interlocking rings logo. International soccer governing body FIFA is requiring countries that host the World Cup to create special rights in their constitutions to protect advertisers, said Jeff Greenbaum, a New York-based advertising lawyer with the firm Frankfurt Kurnit.

Roger N. Behle Jr., an intellectual property lawyer with the firm Foley Bezek Behle & Curtis, said the NFL’s monitoring is about maximizing revenue.

“They do have a right to police it. They spent a lot of money to build the brand up, make it profitable and not have any Tom, Dick and Harry use the marks,” said Behle, who has worked on licensing deals with the NFL and other major sports leagues.

Greenbaum said the NFL’s enforcement is also about protecting its sponsors. The league creates “official” beers, chips, sodas and other items, which can give a business a distinct advantage over its competitors.

“The strategy that they’re employing is to create enough concern among marketers that they’re afraid to even get close to the line,” Greenbaum said.

PHOENIX (AP) — It is the game that must not be named — at least not without permission.

For most people, the game Sunday between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks is the Super Bowl. But for many business owners, it’s simply the “big game” or “game day.”

Radio hosts are tripping over their tongues and airport signs are carefully worded to keep from referring to it as the Super Bowl, a trademarked name the NFL strictly polices. Mom-andpop shops and large companies hoping to cash in on the game — but also don’t want to run afoul of league lawyers — have found ways to color inside the lines.

Tyler Ellis, whose Coney Island Grill is located within the downtown Super Bowl Central village, is selling souvenir tie-dye shirts. The garments say “Coney Island 2015” as well as “the big game.” The $15 shirts come in pink, red, blue and green.

Fortunately, the restaurant owner was fully aware of the league’s reputation for coming down on trademark infringers.

“I’m just an NFL follower. You can’t even YouTube their videos. They’re just strict with their licensing,” Ellis said.

Grocery chain Whole Foods has avoided using “Super Bowl” on in-store signs and social media. The Facebook page for the central Phoenix location offers recipe ideas for “your Big Game party.”

Signs at American Airlines ticket counters in Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport greet travelers with “Welcome to the big game.” American Airlines spokesman Casey Norton said though it is the official airline for the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee, the company isn’t an NFL partner.

“Like any brand, we work to protect our valuable intellectual property and the rights we extend to our partners,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said.

What constitutes a violation is determined on a case-by case basis, McCarthy said. For example, a restaurant writing up a Super Bowl menu on a chalkboard wouldn’t be an issue.

And according to trademark law, a fair use exception allows for news organizations to use the Super Bowl moniker.

McCarthy said if a potential infringement is discovered, the league will notify the party involved. If nothing changes, then a ceaseand-desist letter follows.

McCarthy declined to discuss how many companies have received letters in recent months.

One of the participants in the Super Bowl is not a stranger to trademark disputes. Texas A&M University has long held the trademark for the term “12th Man,” the nickname for the Seahawks’ large and vocal fan base. The Seahawks and university reached a settlement in 2006 that allows the team to use some versions of the phrase.

Taylor takes on bigger role for Central Dutch Sophomore from Creston averages double-double

By LARRY PETERSON

CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com Beckham Jr.

NATIONAL DIGEST

‘Cats roll COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — The way his team rolled over Missouri when they met a couple weeks ago, Kentucky coach John Calipari anticipated the Tigers throwing a few haymakers in the rematch.

They wound up playing so physical that three Tigers fouled out.

The top-ranked Wildcats took advantage of their parade to the foul line, too, racking up free points during a decisive second-half run that gave them a 69-53 victory Thursday night.

Andrew Harrison had 15 points and twin brother Aaron Harrison had 11 for the Wildcats, who improved to 20-0 for the third time in school history. They are just five wins away from matching the record start achieved by Adolph Rupp’s team in 1953-54.

As usual, Kentucky (7-0 SEC) won with defense. Missouri turned the ball over 15 times and shot just 38 percent from the field in the second half, when the game was largely decided.

Lynch appears PHOENIX — Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch appeared at the last NFL player-mandated Super Bowl 49 media session on Thursday, offering an opening statement to the swarm of reporters but avoiding answering questions.

“For some reason y’all continue to come back and do the same thing that y’all did,” Lynch said.

“I don’t know what story y’all trying to get out of me. I don’t know what image y’all trying to portray of me. But it don’t matter what y’all think, what y’all say about me because when I go home at night, the same people that I look in the face, my family that I love, that’s all that really matters to me.”

During his five-minute session, the five-time Pro Bowler gave “shout-outs” to his teammates and his hometown of Oakland, Calif., among others.

INDIANOLA — Colby Taylor has gone from a freshman role player on a conference championship team that played in the Division III national tournament, to a sophomore on a rebuilding squad with a big target on his back.

Still, the former Creston prep is off to a successful start in his second season with the Central College Dutch.

On Wednesday night in Indianola, in front of a large contingent of friends and family from home, it seemed like less of a road game for Taylor as he and the Dutch rolled to a 74-58 victory over Simpson at the Storm’s Cowles Fieldhouse.

Taylor, coming off the bench because of disciplinary action related to a technical foul late in an overtime loss to league co-leader Coe last week, spent 30 minutes on the court Wednesday and provided 11 points, seven rebounds and two assists. When he left with 1:56 left, the Dutch were in command, 70-48.

In Taylor’s defense, coach Craig Douma said the Coe incident was an unusual occurrence and not typical of Taylor’s leadership on this year’s squad.

“Hey, he just got a little excited after scoring and getting fouled, and got in a guy’s face a little bit,” Dou-

ma said. “That’s not really Colby at all. But it ended up being costly and he didn’t start for us tonight. It was a teaching moment for us, a learning situation for him.”

It was a big victory if Central is to make another conference tournament run this year. Going in, Central was in a three-game losing slump and had fallen to a fifth-place tie with Loras at 2-4, and 9-8 overall. Only six of the eight teams qualify for the league tournament, which is part of the national tournament qualifying process.

After Wednesday, the Dutch are now lodged in a three-way tie for fourth place with Wartburg and Loras at 3-4. Buena Vista and Coe are tied at the top at 6-1, while Dubuque is 4-3 in third place. It’s still very tight, and Taylor said the league tournament should be closely contested.

“We just have to get in the conference tournament,” Taylor said. “Then everyone in the conference is so even, we can get some wins.

Coe was first in the conference and we took them to overtime last time.”

Douma, brother of Creston girls basketball coach Brent Douma, hopes Wednesday’s game is a springboard for his squad that had to replace two key scorers from last year’s national tourney run.

“This was a great win,” he said. “We had a balanced attack. We were sharing the

ball and playing great defense. We think five (conference) wins will secure a spot in the tournament, so we really need a couple more.

My goal is to get more than a .500 record in the conference. If we do that, that would be a great way to finish in February for us.”

Taylor has taken on a much bigger role this year for the Dutch. Entering Wednesday’s game, he led the team in four statistical categories and was averaging a double-double at 17.3 points and 10.1 rebounds per game. He also averages 3.5 assists and 1.4 steals, alternating between a wing and high post positions, depending on the matchup and who’s in the game for Central.

Twice already this season, Taylor has been named Iowa Conference Player of the Week. He scored 30 points with 15 rebounds against Dubuque and 29 points, (6of-10 on threes), six assist and five rebounds in the next game, a 92-89 win over Luther. Nile Eckermann has also scored above 20 points several times and is another 3-point shooting threat.

“Colby is getting extra attention from the teams now,” Douma said. “Early on they were giving him great looks. That’s tougher to come by now as they’ve scouted and seen what he’s CNA photo by LARRY PETERSON done for us.

Panthers finish unbeaten dual season

By LARRY PETERSON

CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

COUNCIL BLUFFS — Now it’s just a matter of taking care of business and participating in the regional dual tournament they’re hosting.

Creston/O-M — ranked sixth in the state dual rankings and recently awarded a hosting site by the Iowa High School Athletic Association — completed a perfect regular season in duals Thursday in dominating Council Bluffs St. Albert 78-4 to conclude the Hawkeye 10 season, and 64-12 over Southwest Iowa (Sidney) in nonconference action.

If the Panthers place first or second in the Feb. 7 sectional tournament in their own gym, their next dual will be in the state-qualifying regional four days later.

The Panthers improved to 14-0 overall in duals and

10-0 in winning the Hawkeye 10 dual crown. Clarinda was second at 8-2 (18-3 overall).

Although there were several forfeits by both opponents, everybody in the Panther lineup except 160-pounder Chase Shiltz and heavyweight Jake Gutschenritter had at least one match on the mat.

There was one costly defeat, however.

Wyatt Thompson was winning his 132-pound match 10-0 against Southwest Iowa’s Hunter Rasmussen when Thompson was disqualified. The official ruling was biting, coach Darrell Frain said, but there were more questions afterward than answers.

“Nobody in the gym seems to know what happened,” Frain said. “Wyatt doesn’t know. The ref didn’t seem to know. But there were teeth marks, so that’s what you have to do.”

Mason Kinsella filled in for Thompson in the St. Albert dual. By rule, Thompson also has to miss the next competition date, which happens to be Saturday’s Hawkeye 10 meet at Glenwood. The Panthers are three-time defending champions, and were the likely favorite for a fourth, but now teams like Clarinda and Lewis Central are certainly threats to end that streak.

“I’m guessing Wyatt would have scored 20 points for us, at a minimum,” Frain said. “We need to get one or two wins in that weight class, at least.”

Most likely, Brody Frain will step into the 132-pound slot as an unseeded entry, leaving Mitchel Swank at Frain 126, where

he recently moved down to for the tournament stretch.

Swank was attending a funeral Thursday and did not wrestle. Frain filled in at 126 and had victories by fall of 19 seconds and 3:09.

The lower weights showed encouraging signs of scoring well Saturday, as 106-pounder Kelby Luther had a 32-second pin and Jacob Goodson posted two victories at 113 pounds.

Goodson “Kelby was able to use some things we had worked on from Saturday (at John Harris Invitational) and felt good about it,” Frain said. “Goodson is undersized at 113 and won both of his matches, so that’s good for us.”

Sophomore Kadon Hulett

continues to fare well against strong competition.

The John Harris Invitational champ earned a 7-2 decision over previously-ranked Bret Blackburn of Southwest Iowa, who was the No. 2 seed at Corning Saturday.

As for this weekend’s league competition, Frain knows the Panthers have their work cut out for them now, but it’s a team that has shown the ability to post bonus-point victories. Those will be especially valuable this weekend.

“We’ll go wrestle and see how it works out,” Frain said.

Creston/O-M 64, Southwest Iowa 12 138 — Spencer Wray (C/O-M) major dec. Dakota Moss (SWI), 13-4.

145 — Joey Huntington (C/OM) by forfeit.

152 — Cameron Leith (C/O-M) pinned Broc Hansen (SWI), 3:20.

160 — Chase Shiltz (C/O-M) by forfeit.

Area girls basketball Murray 50, GVC 48 LAMONI — Murray gave up a late lead, as eighth-ranked Grand View Christian forced overtime here Thursday, but the Lady Mustangs rebounded for a 50-48 overtime win in the semifinals of the Bluegrass Conference Tournament.

“I would never have guessed that we could give up nine 3-pointers and still win the game,” Murray head coach Jerry Shields said. “But we only gave up nine shots inside the circle and they only went to the free throw line four times.

That was a big key for us.

We were able to break their press and get some easy transition buckets. Controlling our turnovers was also very significant.”

Deena Snyder finished with 17 points, eight rebounds and three assists to lead Murray, now 13-5 for Snyder the season. Jade Lecy added 11 points with six boards and three assists.

Madison Gonseth recorded 10 points with three rebounds.

Zadie Hatfield chipped in seven points with three boards and four steals, while Chellsea Jones finished with three points. Shelby Myers scored two points.

TAYLOR: Continued from page 1S

three and four spots for us, which allows him to roll down if he has a mismatch, mix in his inside and outside game. He’s knocked down some big shots for us and been a great rebounder.”

Taylor was in a walking boot for several weeks last summer after injuring an ankle in a pickup game in Creston. He used the idle time on the court to lift weights and prepare for the more physical nature of college basketball.

The 6-6 guard with a good shooting touch now weighs between 185 and 190 pounds and can establish post-ups

when necessary.

“In high school, there wasn’t much to him physically,” Douma said. “I wasn’t even sure if he’d be ready!

He had a lot of great players around him last year, and that helped. This year he is a primary option and he’s prepared for it. He’s continued to mature and get better as the year goes on.”

“When I had the hurt foot, I was on crutches for more than four weeks and I used that time to build up my upper Taylor

body,” Taylor said. “I put on about 15 pounds. It helps against the contact and stuff like that. It gives me a lot more confidence in those situations.”

After Wednesday’s game, Taylor mingled with former teammates and Simpson students Luke Neitzel, Caleb Thompson, Kainen Somers and Trey Thomsen, along with several family members and friends who attended the game.

“That was pretty nice,” he said. “It kind of felt like I was back in Creston, with my own cheering section over there.”

Douma, who also coached 2014 Central graduate Spen-

cer Bakerink of Creston at Central, is thankful for the time left with Taylor on his team.

“Hey, we love that Creston connection,” Douma said. “Colby plays like a veteran now. He plays like a leader, and our team looks to him to be a leader on the floor. What’s great about that is that we have him for two more years!”

Central plays a key game at Buena Vista at 6 p.m. Saturday in Storm Lake. BV has three former Hawkeye 10 players in Cole Darrow of Glenwood, Jarod Juhl and Adam Juhl from Harlan.
