at risk of losing tax-exempt status
| One hundred fifty-eight groups in Scott County are among 300,000 nationwide who have been granted a reprieve from the IRS for their failure to file tax returns from 2007-2009.
If they missed a May 17 deadline to file an annual return with the government, they have until Oct. 15, 2010, before they lose their tax-exempt status, according to IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman.
Included on the list are sports leagues, civic clubs, support groups, and veterans, educational and philanthropic organizations.

| | Scott County Republicans challenge IFA's county supervisor nominations | The Scott County Republican Party filed a formal protest Monday in an attempt to keep the names of three candidates for county supervisor off the ballot for the Nov. 2 general election.
"Yes, we did file a protest. These candidates should have run in the primary in June in order to have the fairest vote," party chair Judy Davidson told The NSP after meeting with officials in the Scott County Auditor's Office Monday afternoon.
Davidson was referring to candidates nominated by a new political party, Iowans For Accountability. The candidates - John Riley of Blue Grass, Jesse Anderson of LeClaire and John Greene of Davenport - were nominated by IFA at a county convention on Aug. 24. Their names were reported to the Scott County Auditor's Office to meet the filing deadline of Aug. 25
Davidson said she has heard that the candidates are Republicans.
A hearing on the Republican Party's challenge is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 2 at 3:00 p.m. at the Auditor's Office, said Roland Caldwell, operations manager for the county auditor.

Kent Arp is flying high. Ten thousand feet high.
Arp, a farmer and self-employed contractor who lives in Walcott, went skydiving for his first time ever in June. He jumped at the same time as his daughter, Katie Arp. Some other folks, including relatives and Arp's neighbor, Mike Clayton, also parachuted to the ground.
"It was the thrill of a lifetime," Arp says.
