Calendar By Staff Reports SHASTA LAKE » The Bureau of Reclamation has released a Finding of No Significant Impact for the supplemen - tal Environmental Assess- ment tiering from the May 2013 Final EA/FONSI for the Five-Year Warren Act Contracts for Conveyance of Groundwater in the Te - hama-Colusa and Corning Canals. The finding spans Contract Years 2013 through 2017, specifically March 1, 2013, to Feb. 28, 2018. The supplemental envi - ronmental documents cover an increase in the quantity of water that could be con- veyed annually in the ca- nals, from 44,000 acre-feet to 79,800 acre-feet, and a change to the water qual- ity criteria to determine eligibility of groundwater discharges to the canals in drought years. The Warren Act autho - rizes Reclamation to nego- tiate agreements to store or convey non-federal wa- ter when excess capacity is available in federal facilities. The Final Environmental Assessment and Findings of No Significant Impact were prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act. They are available on - line at http://www.usbr.gov/ mp/nepa/nepa_projdetails. cfm?Project_ID=13151. If you encounter prob - lems accessing the docu- ments online, call 916-978- 5100 or email mppublicaf- fairs@usbr.gov.

InformatIon Tax credits help reduce the taxes you owe. Some credits are also refundable. That means that, even if you owe no tax, you may still get a refund. Here are five tax credits you shouldn't overlook when filing your 2013 federal tax return: 1. The Earned Income Tax Credit is a refundable credit for people who work but don't earn a lot of money. It can boost your refund by as much as $6,044. You may be eligible for the credit based on the amount of your in - come, your filing status and the number of children in your family. Single workers with no dependents may also qualify for EITC. Visit IRS. gov and use the EITC As - sistant tool to see if you can claim this credit. For more see Publication 596, Earned Income Credit. 2. The Child and Depen - dent Care Credit can help you offset the cost of day- care or day camp for chil- dren under age 13. You may also be able to claim it for costs paid to care for a dis- abled spouse or dependent. For details, see Publication 503, Child and Dependent Care Expenses. 3. The Child Tax Credit can reduce the taxes you pay by as much as $1,000 for each qualified child you claim on your tax return. The child must be under age 17 in 2013 and meet other re - quirements. Use the Inter- active Tax Assistant tool on IRS.gov to see if you can claim the credit. See Publi - cation 972, Child Tax Credit, for more about the rules. 4. The Saver's Credit helps workers save for re - tirement. You may qualify if your income is $59,000 or less in 2013 and you con- tribute to an IRA or a retire- ment plan at work. Check out Publication 590, Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs). 5. The American Oppor - tunity Tax Credit can help you offset college costs. The credit is available for four years of post-secondary education. It's worth up to $2,500 per eligible student enrolled at least half time for at least one academic pe - riod. Even if you don't owe any taxes, you still may qual- ify. However, you must com- plete Form 8863, Education Credits, and file a tax return to claim the credit. Use the Interactive Tax Assistant tool on IRS.gov to see if you can claim the credit. Publica - tion 970, Tax Benefits for Ed- ucation, has the details. Before you claim any tax credit, be sure you qualify for it. Find out more about these credits on IRS.gov.

Museum admis- sions can be pricey — $20 or more for an adult. But don't sweat it. Many mu - seums offer unad- vertised free ad- mission one day each month, and some have free evening hours on a desig - nated day, too. Take the Chicago Children's Mu- seum where the first Mon- day of every month offers free admission for all kids ages 15 and younger. And every Thursday from 5-8 p.m., the museum is free to all. Admission to the Museum of Modern Art in New York City is free ev - ery Friday from 4-8 p.m. San Francisco's Explor- atorium is free on the first Wednesday of the month. Before you go to the pharmacy, go to the web - site for that medication to check for coupons and re- bates you can use to re- duce your co-pay. Here's an example: In the past, Nasonex.com has offered a printable $10 coupon, and you can come back every 30 days to print out an ad - ditional savings coupon- for your refill, up to $120 per year. Each offer is dif- ferent, as is each manu- facturer, so read all terms and conditions. Check of- ten, as offers change. If you have an older 5.5-gallon flush toilet, you're using 13,000 gallons of fresh water per family member, per year. Here's a sneaky way to reduce wa - ter consumption without spring- ing for a new ul- tra-low flow toi- let and the labor to install it. Fill a clean, large plas- tic bottle with water, of a size that will fit inside the toilet tank (a 2-quart plas- tic bottle is a good choice). Lift the lid off the tank and set this plastic container in the tank on the opposite side of the flushing mech - anism. The toilet will flush fine and you'll use less wa- ter with every flush. The sneak attack. Here's a really sneaky way to whack a big load of in - terest from your home mortgage and pay it off many years early. Add 1/12 of a mortgage pay - ment to your regular pay- ment each month. Every 12 months, you will make the equivalent of 13 mort- gage payments, one extra payment each year.
