Roth IRA A Roth IRA is different than a traditional IRA in various ways. Contributions to a Roth IRA are not tax-deductible, but funds will grow tax-free. Also, with a Roth IRA, the taxes are paid upfront, so account hold- ers will not pay taxes when the money is withdrawn. This is beneficial for those who expect their income tax bracket to rise after retirement.

Fire Chief Chad Smothers delivered the annual report to the Riverside City Council on Feb. 4. The department has 33 members, according to Smothers. With an average of five members responding for an average of an hour for each call, the volunteer firefighters put in more than 42,000 hours last year. This year, with an emphasis on improving recruitment and retention, the department has hopes of expanding the roster to 38. Smother said the department will research a possible incentive and pay program for firefighters. Smothers said representatives from the department and the city have been in discussions concerning a county-run ambulance service. One of the discussions is having a River- side transport ambulance, a move that could drastically re- duce the time for an ambulance to respond to a call in the city. Currently, it takes 25.3 minutes on average to get an ambulance on scene in Riverside. With a locally based ambulance, that time would be cut in half to 10 to 12 minutes, according to Smothers. The department has the staff certified to man an ambulance. There are 28 firefighters with medical certifications: 14 certified for emergency medical services, two certified as emergency medical responders, eight with emergency medical technician certification and two paramedics. The difference between each of the certification levels is the training they receive and the medical services they are permitted to perform. Looking ahead to the coming year, Smothers said the department is eagerly awaiting the new county communications system, which will improve emergency radio coverage from 39% to 95%.

Gutierrez had the hot hand early on as she helped pace the Ravens to a 20-5 first quarter lead. She tallied 14 of the team’s 20 points which included three 3-pointers. She spent the majority of the rest of the game crashing the boards and getting her teammates involved. She added five more points throughout the contest to run her total to 19, but she collected a career- high 21 rebounds while dishing JOE TISCHLER/THE NEWS out four assists and picking up Hillcrest Academy’s Yani Gutierriez goes up for a shot in the Feb. 4 game against Columbus.
