Union County experiences increase of influenza cases

By SARAH BROWN

CNA staff reporter sbrown@crestonnews.com

F

eeling sudden chills, fatigue or body aches? If so, you might be experiencing early symptoms of the flu.

According to Robin Sevier, Union County Public Health nurse, Union County is experiencing an increase of flu cases.

Strains and symptoms Sevier said two strains of the flu have become more predominant throughout the county recently — Influenza A-strains H1N1 and H3N2.

According to the National Institute of Health, H3N2 infection was found to be more severe than H1N1 or B-strains in terms of fever. Muscle pain and other symptoms such as headache, sore throat and general discomfort were found to be equally frequent in H3N2, H1N1, and B infections.

Gastrointestinal symptoms were more common in influenza Bstrains.

Sevier also said symptoms of cold and influenza, which can take five to seven days to develop, are very similar and it can be difficult to tell if you truly have the flu.

“With the flu you’re going

to have a fever and body aches and feel very fatigued,” she said.

“Those are the main symptoms that would differentiate between cold and flu.”

Prevention “The best way to protect you and your family is to receive an annual influenza-vaccination,” said Sevier.

To prevent the spread of the influenza virus, Sevier encourages people to wash their hand “good and often” and cover their cough.

“And, throw away tissues,” she added. “Don’t save and reuse them.”

Sevier also recommends anyone infected with the virus to stay home and to stay away from others who have the flu if you are not infected, if possible.

Treatment Sevier said, if the virus is identified early, a doctor may be able to prescribe anti-viral medications to ease some of the symptoms such as nausea.

“There is an instant test they can do,” Sevier said. “Usually right there at the office visit to tell you if you are positive or negative.”

Many symptoms can be treated with over-the-counter medications such as fever-reducers, anti-diarrheal medications and fluid.

“Just treat symptoms you are

OAKLAND, Calif. (MCT) — Despite new technologies and a 2012 California law promising college students relief from soaring textbook costs, students’ bookstore spending is higher than ever — now about $1,200 for books and supplies.

And a new survey shows that students are responding with a cost-cutting measure that could seriously hurt their grades: They’re leaving the costly textbooks on the shelf. Two-thirds of college students surveyed said that they hadn’t bought a required textbook at least once because it was too expensive, according to a national report released Monday by the Student Public Interest Research Groups, a coalition of statewide student organizations.

“I had to borrow from friends sometimes,” said Caroline O’Callahan, a University of California, Berkeley, junior from Redwood City who didn’t buy a biology textbook last semester that cost about $120. “It was tricky because I was relying on lectures and notes of my own.”

Some professors use open-source materials for their courses, but others select books that are regularly updated, making used copies hard to come by. College bookstores commonly offer rentals, but those prices can be steep: It costs $88.92 to rent a used physics textbook from the UC Berkeley campus bookstore and $185 to buy it new.

Between 2002 and 2012, textbook prices shot up 82 percent, nearly three times the rate of inflation, in part because of quizzes and other online applications often included, according to the federal Government Accountability Office.

Two California laws meant to ease the pain have languished unfunded for nearly a year. The pair of open-access textbook laws by state Sen. President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg — Senate Bills 1052 and 1053 — promised to help by making available faculty-approved online textbooks

Where can I get a flu shot?

The flu vaccination is still available, however, availability is very limited. Hy-Vee and Nurses on Call in Creston have four and 60 doses available, respectively. For more information about influenza, visit www. idph.state.ia.us/Cade/ Influenza.aspx. experiencing,” said Sevier. “Antibiotics are not going to cure influenza, but sometimes they are used to treat underlying condition not related to influenza.”

When to see a doctor

Sevier said influenza can last up to 10 days depending on the person’s health. Elderly and young children are particularly susceptible to the virus.

for 50 popular college courses, starting this academic year.

But the project got off to a late start because of a funding delay, and students will have to wait at least until next January for the first books to hit the open-access library managed by the California State University system.

A faculty council charged with finding or developing free materials for UC, CSU and community college courses — and then urging professors to assign them — was to hold its first meeting this week.

“One of the goals of this project is to get the word out to people that there are good materials available,” said Bill Jacob, chairman of the UC system’s Academic Senate.

Jacob said he has used open-source textbooks for years in his math classes at UC Santa Barbara — often assigning a collection of outof-print books posted online with the authors’ consent. But that approach takes time.

“You have to go out and find them,” he said.

As more colleges create open-access digital libraries — and develop new, opensource textbooks — that task should become easier, he said. of Franklin, Ky., and CaroSan Jose State’s library lyn A.

cost texts.

SJSU students spend an average of $750 per year on books, and 70 percent reported not buying a textbook because of the cost, according to the campus.

The program saved 3,289 students about $90,883 — $28 each, on average — in the spring of 2013, SJSU estimates.

A larger initiative at Rice University in Texas — OpenStax College — reported last spring it had saved 40,000 students $3.7 million, and that 300 institutions had signed up for its free, peer-reviewed materials for the 2013-14 year.

A Statistics I textbook,

which typically costs $90 used and $150 new, would be free for the 120,000 California students who take the course each semester if their professors used the OpenStax version available now, said Dean Florez, president and CEO of the 20 Million Minds Foundation, which has underwritten some of the new OpenStax courses.

Jacob said California faculty will review the OpenStax textbooks, and others.

Florez said he hopes faculty leaders approve them ahead of schedule — by early April, when professors adopt their books for the fall term.

Professors have good rea-

in it,” she said, “and until they decontaminated it, they weren’t going to be able to live in it because of public health concerns.”

Jochum’s bill got an initial look by a three-member subcommittee Thursday but the measure was table so lawmakers could gather more information.

Sen. Bill Anderson, RPierson, expressed concern the bill was broadly written so that “real property” could be construed to require disclosure for every structure on a property, not just a house.

“If it’s a barn, clearly no one’s going to live in that barn,” he said. “Would this require me to disclose?”

Subcommittee chairwoman Sen. Liz Mathis, D-Cedar Rapids, said she believed the disclosure would protect the buyer, the seller and the bank that might have a financial stake in a property, but she agreed the panel needed more information before it would take action to advance it in the legislative process.

Jennifer Kingland, a lobbyist for the Iowa Association of Realtors, which opposed the bill as drafted, expressed concern that the disclosure would attach a

“I think if you speak to any faculty member, they will tell you that students, for a variety of reasons, can’t or don’t purchase the traditional textbooks,” Smith said. “It has a devastating effect on their ability to keep up with the course.”

HEALTH

Fusion teas to super seaweed: top food trends to watch in 2014 (BPT) — Culinary creativity doesn’t require you to be a highly trained chef, and you don’t have to be a dedicated “foodie” to spice things up in the kitchen. It’s more about finding ways to deconstruct the traditional rules of cooking and repurposing them in fun ways, whether it be using an ingredient you’ve never used or finding a new use for an existing one. Whatever the approach, it’s easy to find inspiration in the hottest culinary trends emerging for 2014.

Celebrity Chef Elizabeth Falkner, a multiple awardwinning chef, restaurateur, Bravo and Food Network personality who currently serves as executive chef of Corvo Bianco in New York City, points to these top food trends to watch in 2014: Bolder fusions — Earlier iterations of the fusion trend focused on combining ethnic styles of cuisine.

In 2014, the trend will focus on unique flavor combinations that transcend ethnic themes. Falkner points to Good Earth Tea’s bold new flavors - with their whimsical names like Starry Chai, Matcha Maker, Cocoa Tango and

Tropical Rush Organic — as examples of the trend done right. The teas blend diverse but complimentary flavors such as chai spices and cherry or lemongrass coupled with bright pops of pineapple to create fusions that surprise and please at the same time.

By incorporating the teamaker’s Sweet & Spicy fusion tea into bread pudding, Falkner pumps up a traditional bread pudding recipe with the tea’s signature sweet bursts of orange and exotic notes of cinnamon. Last year, multi-flavored fruit and herbal beverage fusions made their way onto menus.

This year, it gets fizzier, with restaurants crafting sodas using unique infusions of flavor. Falkner demonstrates this trend with a selection of gourmet sodas combining ingredients like espresso, fennel and lemon zest or blueberry and cilantro.

A fresh take on tea — Falkner also predicts the culinary world will continue to explore creative ways to use tea as an ingredient in a variety of dishes. Not just for sipping anymore, tea is a natural ingredient that’s finding its way into rubs, broths and

marinades. In celebration of this trend, Falkner has created six unique recipes inspired by Good Earth’s bold tea flavors. The recipes are available at GoodEarth.com as well as the brand’s Pinterest, Facebook and YouTube channels.

Upscale comfort food — Grilled cheese, macaroni and cheese, tomato soup, franks and beans - foods we grow up with have taken root in the American psyche as comfort foods that warm our souls as much as they fill our bellies. This year, comfort food will continue to go upscale as chefs take basics like mac

and cheese and update them by adding high-end ingredients like sauteed salami, peppers, onions and sun-dried tomatoes. One of Falkner’s favorite takes on the trend is Grilled Cheese Caprese made with several different cheeses, such as fior di latte and fontina, basil and pickled tomato jam.

Super seaweed — A nutritional powerhouse, seaweed will make its way into more recipes this year, Falkner predicts. Look for varieties like dulse, kelp, combu, hijiki and nori to appear as ingredients in dishes from desserts to main courses. Falkner uses

hijiki seaweed to create an Asian-style coleslaw that’s super-healthy, easy to make and a great accompaniment to a variety of dishes. Dried seaweed also makes a nutritious gelatin and thickener, without a hint of fishiness, so look for it to appear in desserts.

Beyond beef — Bored by beef? Tired of chicken and turkey? Does duck do nothing for you? Chefs are stepping up to meet Americans’ taste for alternative proteins by incorporating a variety of options into their menus. In 2014, you’ll find goat (widely eaten in the Middle and Far East), rabbit, quail, sweetbreads and pigeon on restaurant menus. “Many of my best memories involve moments with friends and family that have taken place around the table,” says Falkner. “I’m thrilled to be able to share that passion with others. The combination of good food and fellowship is what really makes every meal a special event — and that’s one dining ‘trend’ everyone can embrace!”

You can explore one of 2014’s hottest trends with

this recipe from Falkner and Good Earth Tea: Sweet & Spicy Bread Pudding Ingredients: 1 quart milk 2 cups cream 2 tea bags Good Earth Sweet & Spicy, tags removed 4 cups French bread, with crusts removed and cut into cubes 6 egg yolks 2 whole eggs 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon orange zest 1/2 cup chopped bittersweet chocolate (optional) Directions: Preheat oven to 325 F. Combine milk, cream and add tea bags to the mix. Pour over bread and steep for at least one hour. Squeeze out tea bags and discard. Combine egg yolks, eggs, sugar and orange zest in a separate bowl and whisk to combine.

Stir this into bread, tea and milk mixture. Add optional chopped chocolate and spoon into a greased baking dish.

Bake for 30 minutes at 325°F or until custard is set.

Cool slightly. Serve warm.

Let’s clear the air once and for all Most folks pass gas 10-20 times a day with little noise and no smell (Whew!). But some can crank out around two liters of smelly, sulfurcontaining compounds daily.

No wonder when Buck and Arlene Weimer previewed their odor-suppressing underpants, Under-Ease, on “Shark Tank” (they didn’t win), they generated a lot of buzz. But no one mentioned what might be causing folks to want smell-stifling underwear. That’s the problem we care about, and if it’s your problem, we bet you care too.

One major cause of fumy gas is lactose intolerance.

Between 30 million and 50 million adults in North America can’t digest lactose, the sugar in cow’s milk.

That includes 90 percent of Asians, 75 percent of blacks, Native Americans and people of Mexican and Jewish descent and 50 percent of Mediterranean peoples.

(Around 90 percent of those of Northern European descent can.)

If you’re off dairy, you’ll need alternate sources of calcium and vitamin D-3.

For calcium, try dark leafy greens, sardines, salmon, beans and a 600 mg daily supplement. For D-3, it’s salmon, canned albacore tuna and 1,000 IU of D-3 supplement daily. And you’ll need something to pour on cereal!

Enter UNSWEETENED almond or walnut milk. One cup of packaged almond milk has healthy fats, 50 percent of RDA for vitamin E and B-12, 45 percent of calcium and 25 percent of vitamin D. And you can easily make nutrition-packed walnut milk: Soak 1 cup of walnuts overnight, drain, blend with 32 ounces of water, add

Weekly healthy tips Dr. Mehmet Oz, M.D. and Dr. Michael Roizen, M.D.

a touch of salt and vanilla extract (make sure there’s no sugar or corn syrup in it — just alcohol and vanilla).

Then go nuts!

FROSTBITE CAN HAPPEN PRETTY QUICKLY IF YOU’RE NOT CAREFUL If you were stuck in the Antarctic ice on the Russian research ship Akademik Shokalskiy waiting for an icebreaker to rescue you, chances are you’d be vigilant about protecting your skin from frostbite. But if you’re on a skiing holiday in Quebec or are a kid waiting for a school bus in Minneapolis, you also need to take extra care when temperatures plummet. Young children, those not used to the cold and anyone in temperatures well below freezing are at risk of frostbite on the nose, ears, cheeks, chin, fingers or toes — anywhere that is exposed to the frigid air.

When the skin gets cold, your body’s circulation/heat delivery system reduces flow to areas where blood can become cold, making those areas even colder!

(That’s so your body can keep vital organs, like the heart and brain, toasty.) As your extremities become colder, you first feel pain, then burning and tingling, and finally numbness. Ice crystals may form in skin tissue, sometimes causing cell death that leads to amputation.

Luckily, before you get to that point, you may save damaged tissue by slowly

rewarming it, using wraps or warm — never hot — water.

But the best solution is to not risk frostbite in the first place.

Cover exposed skin with a wind-resistant warm material. Wear multiple layers for insulation. Consider mittens (often warmer than gloves) and mitten liners, if it’s below 15 degrees Fahrenheit.

Wear waterproof boots with warm socks. And move around to keep circulation going. Then you can ride to school or navigate that black diamond ski run with a smile on your face!

NUTRIGENOMICS: YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT You are what you eat.

That’s the heart of a new science called nutrigenomics, which looks at how diet switches certain of genes on or off. Just as the plant Audrey II in “Little Shop of Horrors” turned into an evil eating machine, your diet transforms your genes’ attitude (and the attitude of your gut bacteria’s genes, too). Certain foods turn them nasty; that fuels inflammation, immune dysregulation, dementia, diabetes, stroke, cancer and other lifestyle-related disorders. The good news? Genes switch on and off pretty easily. One study found that six days on an improved diet changes gene expression from risky to beneficial.

So which foods should you eat and which should you avoid?

—Eat foods rich in all B vitamins: dark leafy greens,

nuts, legumes, skinless chicken, fish, asparagus, 100 percent whole grains and fruit; ask your doc about taking a folic acid and/or a vitamin B-12 supplement daily (we take both). One study showed that if your diet is rich in these nutrients, you can turn off genes activated by environmental pollutants like BPA (a hormone disrupter in plastics, receipts and linings of cans) that are linked to miscarriages, childhood obesity and, perhaps, breast cancer.

—Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in canola oil, salmon and ocean trout turn off inflammatory genes in fat cells and increase production of anti-inflammatory cytokines.

—Too many carbs turn on risky genes: Max is 30 percent of your daily calories, and they should be 100 percent whole grains, nothing processed.

—Eliminate saturated fat.

It prods your gut bacteria to turn on inflammatory genes.

PUTTING OUT ANGER’S FIRE The movie “Anger Management” made fun of Adam Sandler’s character, Dave, for getting sentenced to anger-management classes — a good premise for a slapstick comedy, but in real life, repeated, uncontrolled outbursts of rage become an emotional and physical hazard to the person experiencing the flares of anger and to others around him or her.

While behavioral therapy can help people learn to redirect or dispel their impulsive emotions and actions, it doesn’t really identify the underlying cause (it’s not always your mother!). Now doctors may be a step closer to finding out why stresses and frustrations (perceived

or imagined) make one person “blow up,” but don’t push those buttons in someone else.

Folks who are overwhelmed by explosive anger and rage — a condition psychotherapists call intermittent explosive disorder — also suffer from bodywide inflammation. By studying IED’s relationship to the inflammation markers Creactive protein and interleukin-6, scientists discovered that if you’re enraged, your body (including your brain and nervous system) is inflamed! And they’re trying to figure out if reducing inflammation in a person’s body (not as simple as taking an ibuprofen) can quell anger and make it less likely to flare up.

So if you’re blowing your stack a little too often, we say eliminate that stack of pancakes from your breakfast menu (and anything else with added sugar, syrup or grains that aren’t 100 percent whole). Enjoy salmon, ocean trout and healthy fats (unsaturated); they soothe inflammation. And reduce stress (very inflammatory) with daily meditation. Try mindfulness, progressive relaxation or breathing exercises. Cooler heads will prevail!

DISTRACTED DRIVING IS A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE Picture this: Hoke Colburn (Morgan Freeman) is driving Miss Daisy (Jessica Tandy) around town when he interrupts her to say: “Please hold on, Miss Daisy. I gotta call my brother about dinner tonight.” We bet Miss Daisy would have had a few choice words for Hoke.

Well, moms and dads, you need to say a few

choice words to your newly licensed teens about the perils of dialing, texting or doing anything else besides driving when they are behind the wheel. Yet another study reveals that 10 percent of the time, drivers (that includes Mom and Dad, BTW) are preoccupied with something else, such as texting or eating, while piloting their cars. (Dialing a cell just once a day while driving makes your RealAge more than one year older!)

That behavior is particularly devastating for new drivers: They increase their risk of crashing or having a nearmiss seven- to eightfold when reaching for a phone (or other object) or dialing, and quadruple it if they’re texting. While young drivers account for 6 percent of folks behind the wheel, they cause 10 percent of all fatal accidents and 14 percent of accidents that inflict injuries.

Folks, you need to teach your children safe driving habits by setting an example. Stay off the phone (it’s our pledge to do so, too), and then explain to them why distracted driving is reckless: It makes everyone’s RealAge a lot older, especially if someone causes an accident. Now, get home safely! *** 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.

SPORTS THE NUMBERS GAME

10

Wins in January for the Knicks, more than the number of wins (9) they had in October, November and December combined.

NATIONAL DIGEST

Huskers win LINCOLN, Neb. — Terran Petteway scored 18 points as the Nebraska Cornhuskers earned a surprising 60-55 victory over the Indiana Hoosiers in Big Ten play at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

Shavon Shields and Walter Pitchford tallied 11 points apiece and Ray Gallegos tacked on 10 for Nebraska (11-9, 3-5 Big Ten). The Cornhuskers have won three of their last four.

Yogi Ferrell tallied 14 points and five assists for Indiana (13-8, 3-5), which has lost three of its last four. Will Sheehey and Stanford Robinson each added 12 points for the Hoosiers.

Indiana rolled to a 32-19 lead at halftime, shooting 48 percent from the floor and limiting Nebraska to eight field goals in the first period.

NASCAR changes CHARLOTTE, N.C. — NASCAR announced major changes to the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship on Thursday.

Under the new system, the field will be expanded to 16 drivers, which will ultimately be whittled down to four through three rounds of eliminations.

The final four drivers will go into the last race of the year with a chance to capture the Sprint Cup title.

The driver that crosses the finish line first will be crowned champion.

With the new format, a regular-season win basically assures a driver a ticket to the postseason. During the playoffs, a driver can guarantee himself a trip to the next round with a victory.

Before the Chase for the Sprint Cup was created in 2004, NASCAR determined its champion based on which driver had the most points at the end of the season.

Panthers shut out Falcons

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

There wasn’t a whole lot of action for Creston/ Orient-Macksburg wrestling fans to take in here on Thursday, as the Panthers wrapped up an undefeated regular season with an 84-0 shutout of Council Bluffs St. Albert.

The win improves the Panthers to 14-0 overall and 10-0 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference, wrapping up the Hawkeye 10 dual team championship.

In doing so, the Panthers wrestled just four contested matches on Thursday for a total of 2 minutes, 46 seconds of mat time.

“They all got after it,” head coach Darrell Frain said. “That’s all I could ask for. You can’t fault them for going for falls and quick pins. That’s what they’re trained to do. Excited that they all went out there and took care of business, didn’t take them lightly. The fact that we shut them out was a good way to finish it.”

The Panthers finished with a perfect score, thanks to pins in all four contested matches.

Creston/O-M 195-pounder Seth Maitlen presses Council Bluffs St. Albert 195-pounder Marc Johnson’s shoulders to the mat during their match on Thursday. Maitlen pinned Johnson in 22 seconds, as the Panthers put up a perfect score on the Falcons, 84-0.

with a cradle in :27 at 160 pounds. At 170 pounds, senior Adam Baker had the longest varsity match of the night, pinning Eli Finn in 1:51.

The shortest match of the night was perhaps the most exciting for the crowd, as 182-pounder Trevor Frain, who might have tied a state record with a 5-second pin at the John J. Harris Invitational on Friday, attempted

to better that mark.

St. Albert’s Wyatt Suhr backed away from F r a i n at the whistle, but Frain lunged forward and quick- Frain ly threw him to his back, pinning Suhr in :06.

After getting back to his feet, Frain looked up at the clock and grinned.

“I know after this he won’t have many kids he can do that against,” coach Frain said. “He was going out to see how fast he could get it. Six seconds. I don’t know what you say about it.

Another quick one.”

Panther sophomore Seth Maitlen also wasted little time, securing a fall in :22

against Marc Johnson at 195 pounds.

After that, it was a parade of Creston/O-M wrestlers to the center of the mat to have their hands raised.

Even though there were only four matches for the evening, coach Frain said his team came in with the right Please see PANTHERS, page 7A

Spartan volleyball team honored Saturday The Southwestern Community College athletic department is hosting a ceremony and reception to honor SWCC’s national tournament volleyball team Saturday.

The 2013 regional champions and national championship participants will be honored during the home

basketball matchups featuring the SWCC Spartans vs. Iowa Lakes women and men.

The afternoon kicks off with the women’s basketball game at 1 p.m. in the Student Center gymnasium. The men’s game follows at 3 p.m. The volleyball recognition ceremony

will be held during halftime of the men’s game at approximately 3:45 p.m. A reception will be held immediately following the men’s game on the upper level of the SWCC Student Center.

SWCC’s volleyball team, under the direction of head coach Melissa Bless-

ington, ended its season with a record of 9-2 in the conference and 37-10 overall. The Spartans ended up fifth at the 2013 NJCAA DII Volleyball National Championships in Perrysburg, Ohio, defeating Grand Rapids, Mich., in three straight sets in their final match on Nov. 23.

Blessington was named the region’s Coach of the Year.

Setter Cassidy Yong was selected All- Blessington American.

Quick victory provides little time for wrestling fans to ‘settle in’ You’d think it would have to be some kind of record, but I suppose there have been teams matched up in dual wrestling meets with even fewer contested matches, if numbers were low on both teams.

So, we’ll just go ahead and say it’s likely the fastest dual meet in the annals of Creston wrestling.

The Panthers used a total mat time of 2 minutes, 46 seconds to win four contested matches against Council Bluffs St. Albert here Thursday. In less than 180 seconds, the Panthers racked up an 84-0 victory.

As reported by sports editor Scott Vicker, Tayler Pettit had a pin in 27 seconds; Adam Baker was the “workhorse” of the bunch, going 1:51 before his win by fall; Trevor Frain was one second longer than his five-second fall last weekend in Corning; and

Straight shots Larry Peterson sports writer

Seth Maitlen decked his opponent in 22 seconds. All other weights were left open by St. Albert.

Fortunately, admission was free for the brief event.

Chalk it up as a workout in preparation for the Hawkeye 10 Tournament Saturday in Denison, where the Panthers can wrap up a season sweep of conference dominance after locking up the dual title.

Not bad for a team replacing nearly half of the lineup, including state champs Jake Marlin and Keaton Hulett.

In the past 22 days, Frain has

four falls under 10 seconds. One was in :09, another in :08, Thursday’s was :06 and his :05 win Friday night set a Creston record and matched the IHSAA record listed for state tournament history.

(Regular season fall time marks are not listed in the record book.)

Thursday’s dual is reminiscent of a memorable dual victory over Clarinda on Jan. 18, 1972. John Walters told me nine matches lasted a total of 6 minutes, 11 seconds. Those nine pins averaged 41.2 seconds.

The meet started with eight straight first-period falls in 5:59 total time.

Here’s how it unfolded: Jeff Abel won by fall in 45 seconds at 98 pounds; Mike Howard won by fall in 47 seconds at 105; Dan Hayes won by fall in 40 seconds at 112; Scott Wood won by fall in 38

seconds at 119; Vern Loudon won by fall in 1:03 at 126; Rick Conard also won by fall in 1:03 at 132; Kim Kirkman won by fall in 51 seconds at 138; and Steve Harvey won by fall in 12 seconds at 145.

Curtis Bolinger then won a 4-0 decision at 155 before Creston lost a 4-3 decision at 167 pounds.

Jamie Hayes got it going again with a 5-1 decision at 185, and heavyweight Mike King topped it off with a 12-second fall.

Final score: Creston 60, Clarinda 3.

That still has to rank as one of the most incredible nights in Creston wrestling history, because of the number of matches involved.

But, Thursday’s quick victory is another remarkable achievement by a reloaded Panther team that continues to mow down the com-

They should provide a lot of thrills along the tournament trail.

••• After the Lenox vs. East Union game Tuesday, my brain got former Creston school secretary Sue Tilley mixed up with Terri Tussey, wife of Lenox co-coach Steve Tussey and mother of East Union coach Thad Tussey.

The hazards of hanging around a long time and writing about so many people with similar names.

It was one of those Homer Simpson “D’oh!” moments the next morning.

So when you see Terri, just call her Sue. I hear it’s catching on.

“We’ve had two-a-days and we had them today,” he said. “We had morning practice and an afternoon practice just like we did yesterday. They didn’t take them lightly and went out there and finished.”

Frain said it was nice to accomplish a pair of goals on Thursday.

“That’s one of those things you set as a goal when the season starts, and we went through the dual season undefeated, so kind of accom-

plished two goals right there with the Hawkeye 10 Conference championship and being undefeated,” he said.

“We’re happy that we got it accomplished.”

In the lone junior varsity match of the evening, Panther senior Garret Taylor also scored a victory by fall, pinning Jake Stander in 4:41.

H-10 tourney The Panthers now move on to Saturday’s Hawkeye 10 Conference tournament in Denison, where they will look to defend their crown.

“I think coming in, we’re

probably a little bit the favorite,” Frain said. “Clarinda, Lewis Central is wrestling as good as they’ve wrestled all year. We have to wrestle well. I really feel like it will be a three or four team race, and if we can take care of the kids that are supposed to do well, and then get some kids to place ahead of their seed, we have a chance to win.”

REAP land More than $200,000 in grants is available to cost share land acquisitions with private organizations. Applications are available at www.iowareap.com then click on REAP Grants in the left column.

Applications are due March 14 by 4:30 pm.

The cost-share arrangement entails 75 percent of the acquisition costs coming from Resource Enhancement and Protection (REAP) and the other 25 percent coming from private contributions. This program provides an excellent opportunity for conservation organizations to help pro-

vide additional outdoor recreation opportunities and protect critical habitat. The DNR owns and manages the property that is jointly purchased on behalf of the public.

A project review committee made up of three DNR administrators and three representatives of private conservation organizations selects the projects.

Recent projects include additions to Pine Lake State Park, Pictured Rocks Wildlife Management Area and the Loess Hills Wildlife Area.

REAP is funded from the state’s Environment First Fund (Iowa gaming receipts) and from the sale of the natural resource license plate.

Key to stopping Broncos: Pressure Peyton Manning partly because key members of their rush were injured later in the year. For much of the season, the Chiefs led the league in sacks.

In two games against Manning, the Chiefs did not sack him once despite desperately trying to disguise their pass rush.

Manning is so astute if he sees a linebacker who normally does not put his hands on his thighs place them there, it tells him that the linebacker is preparing to blitz.

So he’ll change the play and zip a completion to a receiver who ran his route into the vacated area.

The Chiefs were left with a conundrum. Blitzing linebackers such as Tamba Hali or Justin Houston, who com-

In 18 games this season, Manning has been sacked 18 times. None were during the playoffs. He has been knocked down once in Denver’s two playoff wins.

Manning has thrown for 630 yards in those two games and managed to keep his uniform looking sharp.

“We need to move him,” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. “When he’s in rhythm and he’s solid in the pocket, which he is the great majority of the time, then you’re really dealing with the best he has to offer.”

There are various ways to approach this issue with Manning.

Take the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs finished sixth in sacks this season,

By TODD DYBAS The News Tribune

JERSEY CITY, N.J. — If Peyton Manning is presented another chance to host “Saturday Night Live,” a skit called “Mr. Clean Pants” may be appropriate.

There is no bigger issue for the Seahawks in Super Bowl XLVIII than trying to knock Manning to the MetLife Stadium turf. Short of that, they have to move, disrupt or at least come close to him to snap the tempo of the Broncos’ passing game.

During the season, and particularly in the playoffs, that has been the known challenge. But Manning avoids sacks with guile and precision.

bined for 22 sacks on the season, tried to keep still at the start of each play. The byproduct of that was the pair getting late starts off the snap, slowing their path to Manning.

The Seahawks used part of the first bye week in the playoffs to do a self-scout of their “tells” knowing that they could be facing Drew Brees and ultimately Manning in the playoffs.

“That was one of the advantages of having that time right at the end of the regular season,” defensive coordinator Dan Quinn said.

Warren Cultural Center receives rural arts grant The $5,000 grant will help underwrite the cost of three performances ■

GREENFIELD — Warren Cultural Center (WCC) has received a rural arts development grant from the Iowa Arts Council (IAC), a division of the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs. Grant funds will help support the WCC’s Premier Performance Series, which features a variety of nationally touring acts appearing on the stage of the restored 1896 opera house in Greenfield.

The $5,000 grant will help underwrite the cost of three performances, including soul singer Jane L. Powell, who performed Jan. 18 at WCC. In addition to her public performance, Powell held a workshop for young singers, which was made available at no cost to area high school students. Other performances are the men’s

a cappella group Shy of a Dozen, with jazz singer Ria Olson March 29, and Frank Ferrante’s “An Evening with Groucho” performance April 26.

The IAC awarded $74,506 in project grants and rural arts development grants funding to support 14 arts projects serving Iowans in 10 communities across the state. The WCC was one of three projects to receive a rural arts development grant.

Rural arts development grants support arts projects that positively impact the quality of life in rural Iowa, demonstrate public value and support IAC funding priorities. Eligible applicants must be located in select Iowa counties and include nonprofit organizations incorporated in Iowa that have federal tax-exempt status; schools; local, county, state and federal government agencies; and tribal councils. Funding for both programs come from the Iowa Legislature and National Endowment for the Arts.

The 2013-14 Premier

Performance series is made possible through sponsorships by the following local businesses: First National Bank, Adair County Abstract Co., Adair County Health System, Adair County Farm Bureau Alliance, Alliant Energy, Farm Bureau Financial Services – Connie Hohertz agent, Havens Accounting, Hight Law Office, Marion E. James Law Office, Jensen Law Office, Olesen Law Office, Pro Team Insurance/West Bend, Southwestern Community College, Stalker Chevrolet, Robert A. Weiland O.D. and Union State Bank.

Kids in the kitchen Dear Readers: If you have small children at home or ones who visit, you know the KITCHEN can be the heart of the home, but it also holds a lot of hazards for little ones.

It is a fun place to play and be with the rest of the family.

Here are a few hints to keep your little ones safe while still letting them have fun!

• Trash can: What else can you say but “yuck”? To keep your children away from the trash, invest in a can with a lockable lid (or one they can’t open), or place the trash can in a cabinet out of their reach.

• Refrigerator: Once a child learns how to open the refrigerator, you’d better watch out! If you allow children access, put ONLY SAFE items on the lowest shelf. Replace glass containers with plastic, or place them on the highest shelf, in the back. If you don’t want your child to have access, invest in a fridge lock, which probably is a good idea anyway.

• Cabinets: Children always are curious, and they love to open and close things. Let your child have a lower cabinet all his or her own. Put safe things in there, like plastic bowls, lids, wooden spoons, etc. Use childproof locks on

FAMILY CIRCUS® by Bill Keane

Hints from Heloise all other cabinets!!

Hope these hints help keep your little ones safe! Just remember, no matter where they are, supervision is key!

— Heloise P.S.: Most importantly, you must move all cleaning supplies from under the sink or use a childproof lock. This also is a potential lifesaving hint as a reminder to grandparents: Get childproof locks for that under-sink cabinet!

spice bottles, and fill these with shampoo, conditioner, etc. I also store cotton swabs and cotton balls in the containers. — Eilene W. in Illinois COOKING AND CLEANING Dear Heloise: When cooking, I try to minimize the amount of dishes and utensils used. The less I use, the less I have to clean later. If using a measuring cup to measure water, just dry it and put it back in the cabinet; if it only has water in it, it doesn’t have to be washed. If measuring more than two wet ingredients, try to use the same measuring cup. Use the same spoon to add ingredients, not a different spoon for each. This may seem silly, but you don’t know how many times I have walked BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker into a kitchen and seen a sink of dishes that didn’t need to be there. — A Reader in Tennessee PHONE-CALL SCAM Dear Heloise: Whenever I get a cellphone call that is a scam, I save the phone number on my phone under “Scam” or something similar.

If they call again, I know not to answer. — Jerry in Texas (c)2014 by King Features Syndicate Inc. BLONDIE® by Dean Young

A READERSHIP FEATURE OF THE CRESTON NEWS ADVERTISER ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT

Key tax law changes that could impact your return (BPT) — The majority of this year’s key tax law changes were the result of two acts — the Affordable Care Act of 2010, also known as-Obamacare, and the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012.

The easiest way-to navigate all the tax law changes-and determine if you qualify for hundreds of tax benefits, is to use an-online or mobile tax preparation solution. The programs ask easy questions, covering allavailable-credits and deductions to help minimize your tax liability and maximize your refund. Leading solutions such as-TaxACT also provide guidance for the implications of the Affordable Care Act on your taxes and health insurance situation.

If your modified adjusted

gross income (MAGI) is under $200,000 ($250,000 if filing jointly), you may benefit from several tax breaks that have been extended or made permanent.

• The standard deduction for married taxpayers filing jointly is now permanently increased and expands the 15 percent tax bracket.

• The child tax credit is $1,000 for each child under age 17 on Dec. 31. The amount decreases at higher income levels. A portion of the credit also remains refundable through 2017.

In addition, the maximum amount of expenses for the Child and Dependent Care Credit has been made permanent at $3,000 for one child and $6,000 for two or more children.

• The American Oppor-

tunity Credit,-tuition deduction, student loan interest deduction, and-$2,000 annual contribution limit to Coverdell Education Savings Accounts are still available for 2013.

• Elementary and secondary educators can again deduct up to $250 in related job expenses, even if you don’t itemize deductions. Unlike most employee expenses, educator expenses are not reduced by 2 percent of your adjusted gross income.

• If you pay mortgage insurance premiums, also known as private mortgage insurance (PMI), you may be able to deduct premiums as mortgage interest.

• The Alternative Minimum Tax was created to ensure wealthy taxpayers receiving large tax benefits

Check your tax forms for errors and avoid fines for 2013 BPT) — Tax season will be here before you know it and businesses everywhere want to handle their reporting quickly, efficiently and on time in order to avoid the penalties and fines associated with missed deadlines.

In recent years, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has increased its penalties for misfiled or late tax forms.

As a result, it’s more important than ever for leaders of small- to mid-sized businesses to stay on top of changes and be doubly vigilant in assembling and reviewing their reporting documents.

As simple as it may seem, one of the most important but least utilized steps to this review is simply double-checking all reporting documents and deadlines. It is vital to double check the information on tax forms for accuracy and be aware of year-end deadlines to prevent errors resulting in fines or other penalties. If filing is not done by the deadline, taxpayers will face failureto-file penalties.

“Tax season doesn’t have to be a stressful time of the year that starts ulcers for small business leaders,” says Janice Krueger, a tax and reporting expert at Greatland, one of the country’s leading providers of W-2 and 1099 products for business.

“A recent study revealed that 39 percent of filers are never certain that they are meeting all the rules and requirements when reporting annually. We want to help alleviate those concerns by

informing taxpayers about filing requirements and deadlines, along with the ramifications of errors and/ or late filings.”

Many 1099 and W-2 reporting penalties have doubled or even tripled over the past few years and it is increasingly essential that businesses file and complete all wage and income filings on time. Here is a list of filing penalties for W-2 and 1099 forms Greatland believes taxpayers should be aware of this season: • The penalty for failing to file accurate information on returns is $100 per return.

• The maximum failureto-file penalty is $1.5 million.

• If returns are filed within 30 days after the due date, the penalty is $30 per return.

• The maximum penalty for organizations that issue returns within 30 days is $250,000.

• The penalty for filing re-

turns more than 30 days after the due date, but before Aug. 1, is $60 per return.

• The maximum penalty for organizations that issue returns more than 30 days past the due date, but before Aug. 1, is $500,000.

For small businesses, defined as organizations with annual gross receipts of $5 million or less for the three most recent tax years: • The maximum failureto-file penalty is $500,000.

• The maximum penalty for organizations that issue returns within 30 days after the due date is $75,000.

• The maximum penalty for organizations that issue returns more than 30 days past the due date, but before Aug. 1, is $200,000.

To make sure your business has all of the accurate information needed, you can find a full list of federal and state filing regulations to remember on Greatland’s W-2 and 1099 fact center website.

pay some tax. It will now be adjusted for inflation each year so fewer taxpayers are subject to the tax. The exemption amount rises in 2013 to $51,900 ($80,800 for married couples filing jointly). For married individuals filing separately, the exemption is $40,400.

• You may qualify for a credit equal to up to $12,970 of your adoption expenses including fees, court costs, attorney fees, traveling expense and other expenses directly related to and for the principal purpose of the legal adoption of an eligible child. If your employer provides adoption benefits, you may also be able to exclude up to the same amount from your income. Both a credit and exclusion may be claimed for the same adop-

tion, but not for the same expense.

• For 2013, you can still deduct state and local sales taxes. You can take this deduction or a deduction for state income tax but not both.

• Qualified dividends will be taxed at preferential capital gains rates rather than those used for ordinary income.

• If your MAGI-is more than $200,000 ($250,000 if filing jointly), you may pay an additional Medicare surtax on earned income, as well as higher taxes on net investment income, longterm capital gains and qualified dividends. The amount of your personal exemptions and itemized deductions is also less starting this year. The marginal income

tax rate for incomes above $400,000 ($450,000 if filing jointly) also increases from 35 percent to 39.6 percent for 2013.

• One change affecting taxpayers of all income levels is the increased floor for deducting medical expenses.

Taxpayers under the age of 65 can now only deduct unreimbursed medical and dental expenses that exceed 10 percent of your adjusted gross income (AGI). The floor remains at 7.5 percent if you’re 65 or older.

Who needs a 1099 or a W-2?

(BPT) — As the year winds down, it is time to start thinking about recent tax changes and how they affect you, especially if you run a small business. But keeping tax details straight is tough even for those who live and breathe the industry. One of the most common questions during this time of year is “who needs a 1099 or a W-2?”

To help sort through the forms maze, experts at Greatland Corporation, a company that provides W-2 and 1099 tax forms and efiling services to small businesses, have provide background on these forms: A W-2 is the form employers will use to report yearly wage and withholding information. An employer needs to provide this form to employees no later than Jan. 31, 2014. Employees will receive four copies of this form to report federal, state and local income and maintain a copy for their own records.

A 1099-MISC is the form used to report miscellaneous income, such as income earned as a contract or freelance worker, as well as fees, royalties, commissions and rental income. If you are a business that uses contractors or freelance workers who received at least $600 during the year, you must provide them with a 1099MISC form to report this income.

You can find a full list of year-end reporting forms and instructions on the IRS’s website or at Greatland’s website.

In short, 1099s and W-2s

are two different tax forms used for two types of workers. Independent contractors receive 1099 forms and traditional employees will receive a W-2 every year. But sometimes it can often be difficult to classify workers.

An employee is anyone who performs services for an employer and the employer can control what will be done and how it will be done.

This is true even when an employer gives an employee freedom of action.

An individual is an independent contractor if the payer has the right to control or direct only the result of the work and not what will be done or how it will be done.

An employer generally does not withhold federal income tax or Social Security/Medicare taxes for independent contractors.

“Businesses and independent contractors aren’t always aware of what they need to do during tax season,

but it’s becoming more and more important that they know their responsibilities to avoid penalties,” says Janice Krueger, a spokesperson for Greatland. “The IRS has increased its penalties on this group of workers over the last few years and added a budget of $14 million in 2013 for grants to states to assist in identifying misclassification and to cover unpaid taxes.”

If an employer misclassifies an employee as an independent contractor and has no reasonable basis for doing so, the employer is liable for employment taxes for that worker.

Many view inappropriate worker status determinations as a tax loophole and even more misclassifications are due to a misunderstanding of the requirements causing the IRS to heavily monitor businesses. Estimates are that 20 percent of businesses misclassify workers, so if you’re an employer, be careful.
