National Fire Prevention Weekis a good time for families to sitdown and plan at least two waysto safely escape a burning struc-ture, State Fire Marshal PaulMerriman says.

National Fire Prevention Weekis Oct. 7-13, 2012. This yearstheme is Have 2 Ways Out.Merriman says the theme is a re-minder that a good fire safetyplan includes more than one exitstrategy from a burning home.

Fire can be unpredictable, andit moves more quickly than mostpeople realize, Merriman said.Having an escape plan with atleast two ways out is essential toprotect your family in the event ofa fire in your home. And the es-cape plan should be reviewedfrom time to time. Fire Preven-tion Week is a good time to dothat.

Statistics from the NationalFire Protection Association saythat in 2010, firefighters in theUnited States responded to

nearly 370,000 home structure

fires. Those firescivilian injuries andeaths, as well adirect damage.

"Producers have toldme that the value of this programwas $1 million, due to the

changes they made to their estateplan and the reduction of poten-tial estate taxes."

Extension staff and industryprofessionals will help partici-pants develop the tools they needin order to face estate-planningchallenges with less stress.

Conference dates & locationsin our nearby area:

Lemmon-Oct. 22, 23, 29 and30: SDSU Regional ExtensionCenter, 408 8th Street West,Lemmon

Each day of the four-sessionprogram is full of tools and how-to information families can use tocreate and implement their indi-vidualized plan, no matter howbig or small the operation.

Topics for the sessions covercommunication styles, businessstructures, goals, asset distribu-tion, wills and probate, retire-ment planning and funding, fairversus equal distribution, tax im-plications for the operation, lifeinsurance, long-term care insur-

ance, trusts, and other topics asdetermined by the audiences.

"Many of the past participantshave utilized the informationfrom the conference to reduce po-tential estate taxes and ensurethat their operation is passeddown to the next generation in asmooth, hassle free transition,"Gessner said.

All family members are en-couraged to attend the sessions,and on- and off-farm heirs arealso invited to learn about thetools and participate in the dis-cussions.

ing a partner in the operation, orif you own farm or ranch assets,this program is a great start foryou. Our goal is to give you thetools to develop your estate planand the motivation to get started,combined with some gentle nudg-ing that keeps you moving for-ward with the process."

The Faith City Council openedids for construction work, heldhe second reading of the budget,nd approved two building per-

mits at their October 2nd meet-ng.

Greg Fisher came before Coun-

il to ask if the city crew could in-tall some culvert in the alleyetween his house in town andhe old St. Pauls Lutheranhurch. He purchased about 45f culvert but doesnt have thequipment to put it in. He figuredt would take the city crew aboutalf a day to put it in. He thoughthe alley would be more usuablef it would have proper drainage.urrently it veers off into privateroperty. He felt it fair to pay forhe work if they charged the coun-il person for work done in theirlley. Council tabled the issuend will go check it out before theext meeting.

Council retired into executiveession at 7:15 for possible litiga-

ion., and came out at 7:30 topen bids for various construction

work. The only bids received wererom Collins Construction out ofhe Hills. Council accepted theirids for labor only on: reroofingbout 1200 sq. ft on the commu-ity center at a cost of $1850;eroofing the public safety build-ng at a cost of $1525; and in-talling a vinyl window in thepper story of the Municipal

Building, at a cost of $789; paint-ng in the public safety building,1485, and inside the communityenter, $1695.

Council went back into execu-ive session at 7:40 for furtheriscussion on possible litigation.hey came back out at 8:25.

Council approved Debbie at-ending an election workshop.

Several items were surplusedto be sold at their auction: an oldbarno longer used, wall heaters,helmets, etc.

Debbie explained that it wastime to renew their firemen in-surance for hospital, death bene-

fits, etc. They do this every threeyears. Their present plan wouldcost them $3894 for the threeyears. It runs higher if they pay iton a yearly basis. Council ap-proved renewing the insurancefor the three years.

Two building permits were ap-proved: Greg Fisher for sidingand windows on his house east oftown and Shandee Gillin for a 6high wood privacy fence, allowingfor the city variance on the barand alley side. Donn has alreadyinspected the area and approvedit.

Council held a lengthy discus-sion on the 2nd reading of thebudget for 2013. Debbie pre-sented two proposals, one listing

everything they wanted on itwith a deficit of over $200,000,and another with things theyneed, cutting wherever she could.One item they particularly needis a digger truck. Debbie also sug-gested they could put more intoCapital Outlay and less in Com-munity Development. There isabout $362,000 in sales tax, but$106,440 of that is for the commu-nity center building payment and$86,500 for streets, leaving themabout $170,000 in the sales taxfund. She did increase the salestax revenue for next year. Theyapproved the second proposalwhich was closest to what theyneeded.

Their next meeting is Tuesday,

October 16th.

Seniors are worried that theirchildren and grandchildren willsuffer as a result of America's fi-nancial crisis and they want thepresidential candidates to ad-dress the issue now, according toDan Weber, president of the As-sociation of Mature American Cit-izens.

"Can you blame us for feelingdepressed and anxious after theFederal Reserve tells us that

American families have lostnearly 40% of their net worthover the past four years? Mean-while, the unemployment ratelingers at historically high levels,we're not creating enough jobs togo around and those who do have

jobs are making less money. Com-bine that with the fact that eachday more families fall intopoverty and become dependent onfood stamps and other govern-ment assistance programs,"Weber said.

VA BHHCS to host Women Veterans Retreat

This (Monday) morning as weepped out the house door three

ear old Quirt announced, I melloke! That tells us what a

rought we are in and how dryhe country is when a three year

d is on the sniff for prairie fires!must have been forest fire

moke drifting in from some-here but it sure did smell like

moke. Late this afternoon weave had some showers but Iont know if we got enough to re-ly measure. We were in Philipday visiting my dad. It was

aining there and continued a fewhowers as we came north andest. It does give us hope that weay have measureable moisture

omeday. We had hard frosts thisast week and many trees haveready lost their leaves. Due to

he extreme dry conditions theounty has been unable to mowhe road ditches so we haveiniature Kosha trees along the

oads. Those should create a realess snowing and drifting in the

oads. Our county commissionersave also made all the county em-oyees live away from their

hops and road patrols. Thathould work real well if we getne of those years with 102 inchesf snow starting in early Novem-er. Im not sure if the Opal areaven has a patrol now. If that isue, you folks may have a realugh time. The unfortunate

hing is that the person whoaused all the trouble has beenoted off the commission but is

there until January, and also hasno knowledge of what it is like tolive this far from town and doc-tors in bad weather. When youvisit with your town relatives andfriends ask them to pay attention

to the commissioners proceedingsand how their commissionervotes. Gary Cammack pointed outto me that many people in townsdont know who their commis-sioner is and how they vote. Letsremind people we are out hereand we deserve some commonsense service!

Tucker Hudson was injuredwhile they were moving cows yes-terday. He is in the Rapid CityHospital. I dont have any moredetails but sure hope all is goingwell tonight.

Once again Id like to extendour sympathy to the Thomas fam-ily for the loss of Duane. I havenot spent my entire life in Faith,but I dont remember when theThomas didnt run the lumberyard. As a child we loved to cometo Faith Stock Show parades be-cause the floats were alwaysBEAUTIFUL. Faith Lumbercould be counted on to have abeautiful entry. It was a commonsite to see a float emerging fromthe lumber yard or Duane and

Alices garage all decked out forthe parade. Duane and Alice wereFaith promoters and all aroundgood folks. Theyll be missed!

Have you all noticed whatthing is being promoted thismonth? It is National Vegetarian

Month, now aint that just spe-cial! Im pretty sure Lonny andTim wont have to make anychanges to their menus for thisspecial month. Harold and Istayed with his aunt in Californiafor a few days one year. Theladies were vegetarians and fedus tofu this and tofu that. Whilethe old girls went to church wefound a caf and had steak! Ioften think of the story of Hugh

Glass. Im pretty sure most areapeople know of the Legend ofHugh Glass but for those whodont heres short n sweet. Hughwas a mountain man who waswith the Ashley Fur Company in

August of 1823. The group wasmoving west along the GrandRiver in South Dakota near thearea where the Grand forks.Glass had gone out ahead of thegroup and met up with a mommagrizzly bear. She attacked him,ripped him up, plus broke his legbefore she was killed. The othermen fixed Glass up as best theycould but were sure hed die. Gen-eral Ashley asked for 2 volunteersto stay with him until he died andthen bury him. Two young men,Bridger and Fitzgerald agreed tostay while the rest of the partywent on. They stayed a day or twobut were afraid of an Indian at-tack so took his gun, rifle and pro-visions to prove he was dead.Glass woke up and found him selfalone with only a straight edgerazor as a tool and weapon. Heknew that he would have to savehimself so he started crawling toFort Kiowa 200 miles to thesouth. Ive read three books aboutthis subject. All the stories Iveread tell that on the second orthird day of his crawl he saw a

dead buffalo calf that wolves wereeating. He waited then took hisstick and drove the wolves off sothat he could eat the meat be-cause he needed meat forstrength. He stayed there at leasttwo days eating on the meat be-fore he moved on. He also snaredrabbits and ate snakes or what-ever else he could get his hands

on. He suffered fhis back but stopped gangreneing story of survipened in our areahere is that he khave meat to be sdont cut it whenwork to do! No Naian Month for me

WASHINGTON The Inter-al Revenue Service today urgedaxpayers whose tax-filing exten-ion runs out on Oct. 15 to doubleheck their returns for often-over-

ooked tax benefits and then fileheir returns electronically usingRS e-file or the Free File system.

Many of the more than 11 millionaxpayers who requested an auto-

matic six-month extension thisear have yet to file. Though Oct.5 is the last day for most people,ome still have more time, includ-ng members of the military andthers serving in Iraq,fghanistan or other combatone localities who typically haventil at least 180 days after they

eave the combat zone to both fileeturns and pay any taxes due.eople with extensions in partsf Louisiana and Mississippi af-ected by Hurricane Isaac alsoave more time, until Jan. 11,

013, to file and pay.heck Out Tax BenefitsBefore filing, the IRS encour-

ges taxpayers to take a momento see if they qualify for these andther often-overlookedcredits andeductions:

Benefits for low-and moder-te-income workers and families,specially the Earned Income Taxredit. The special EITC Assis-

ant can help taxpayers see ifheyre eligible.

Savers credit, claimedn Form 8880, for low-and moder-te-income workers who con-ributed to a retirement plan,uch as an IRA or 401(k).

American Opportunity Taxredit, claimed on Form 8863,

nd other education taxenefits for parents and collegetudents.

E-file Now: Its Fast, Easynd Often Free

The IRS urged taxpayers tohoose the speed and conveniencef electronic filing. IRS e-file isast, accurate and secure, making

an ideal option for those rush-

ing to meet the Oct. 15 deadline.The tax agency verifies receipt ofan e-filed return, and people whofile electronically make fewermistakes too.

Everyone can use Free File, ei-ther the brand-name software, of-fered by IRS commercialpartners to individuals and fami-lies with incomes of $57,000 orless, or online fillable forms, theelectronic version of IRS paperforms available to taxpayers at allincome levels.

Taxpayers who purchase theirown software can also choose e-file, and most paid tax preparersare now required to file theirclients returns electronically.

Anyone expecting a refund canget it sooner by choosing directdeposit. Taxpayers can choose tohave their refunds deposited intoas many as three accounts.See Form 8888 for details.

Quick and Easy PaymentOptionsFor unemployed workers who

filed Form 1127-A and qualifiedto get an extension to pay their2011 federal income tax, Oct. 15is also the last day to pay whatthey owe, including interest atthe rate of 3 percent per year,compounded daily. Doing so willavoid the late-payment penalty,normally 0.5 percent per month.

Taxpayers can e-pay what theyowe, either online or by phone,through the Electronic FederalTax Payment System(EFTPS),by electronic funds withdrawal orwith a credit or debit card. Thereis no IRS fee for any of these serv-ices, but for debit and credit card

payments only, the private-sectorcard processors do charge a con-venience fee. For those who item-ize their deductions, these feescan be claimed on Schedule

A Line 23. Those who choose topay by check or money ordershould make the payment out tothe United States Treasury.

Taxpayers with extensionsshould file their returns by Oct.15, even if they cant pay the fullamount due. Doing so will avoidthe late-filing penalty, normally

five percent per month, thatwould otherwise apply to any un-paid balance after Oct. 15. How-ever, interest and late-paymentpenalties will continue to accrue.

Fresh Start for StrugglingTaxpayers

In many cases, those strug-gling to pay taxes qualify for oneof several relief programs, includ-ing those expanded earlier thisyear under the IRS "Fresh Start"initiative.

Most people can set up a pay-ment agreement with the IRS online in a matter of minutes. Thosewho owe $50,000 or less in com-bined tax, penalties and interestcan use the Online Payment

Agreement to set up a monthly

payment agreement for up to sixyears or request a short-term ex-tension to pay. Taxpayers canchoose this option even if theyhave not yet received a bill or no-tice from the IRS.

Taxpayers can also request apayment agreement byfiling Form 9465-FS. This formcan be downloaded from IRS.go-vand mailed along with a tax re-turn, bill or notice.

Alternatively, some strugglingtaxpayers qualify for an offer-in-compromise. This is an agree-ment between a taxpayer and theIRS that settles the taxpayerstax liabilities for less than the fullamount owed. Generally, an offerwill not be accepted if the IRS be-

lieves the liability can be paid infull as a lump sum or through apayment agreement. The IRSlooks at the taxpayers incomeand assets to make a determina-tion regarding the taxpayers abil-ity to pay.

Details on all filing and pay-ment options are on IRS.gov.

ColumnGreat news for South Dakota stu-dents

Sometimes South Dakota canhave an inferiority complex. Be-cause we're small or becausewe're rural, we sometimes think

we don't stack up with otherplaces. But being small and ruraldoesn't mean being second-rate. Three national news storiesrecently reported that SouthDakota has a lot to celebrate.

The October 2012 issue of FastCompany magazine includes anarticle entitled "Schooling Cy-berninjas." The article reportsthat the National Security

Agency, a part of the U.S. Depart-ment of Defense, is working hardto train new computer securityexperts to protect our nation's on-line infrastructure from at-tacks. As the article notes, "Thegoal is to create a pipeline of gov-ernment-vetted talent, and withit, a robust line of virtual national

defense."NSA selected four universitiesto launch NSA-certified cyberse-curity programs. One of thosefour schools is Dakota State Uni-versity. Gov. Bill Janklow madeDakota State "the computerschool" in the 1980s, and in thedecades since, DSU has developedcutting-edge programs in infor-mation assurance, biometrics,and other information technologyfields. DSU has a national repu-tation for excellence and it isright here in South Dakota.

Another South Dakota univer-sity was featured by BloombergNews on Sept. 18. The article,headlined "Harvard losing out toSouth Dakota in graduate pay,"

noted that while a Harvard grad-uate earns an average $54,100starting salary, a new graduate ofthe South Dakota School of Minesand Technology earns $56,700 on

average. That's rof Mines beats$2,600. Why iing? Because theis offering high-qin the engineerin

A NEW PHENOMEN THISFALL; Because of the lack ofmoisture this summer and inome areas a full-blown drought,uilding foundations, driveways,nd basements are at peril. Therought has caused soil to dry

which shrinks and pulls awayrom basements, footings and

moorings.Depending on the type of soil

nd dry conditions, some of theseracks can be several inches widend several feet into the earthsurface. Inspect your property forhese gaps and cracks. They canause problems if water from fallains, winter snows or spring run-ff gets into the cracks, expandingnd damaging the basement. In-

sects and rodents love the gaps.What is the remedy?

According to a news releasefrom Dr. Ken Hellevang, NorthDakota State University Exten-sion Service, do NOT pour dirt orwater directly in the voids. In-stead water the soil back 2-3 feetfrom the cracks with a soakerhose. He recommends doing thisas soon as possible before freezeup. Over a weeks time of water-ing, the soil will expand to its nor-mal size. By putting more soilinto the crack, added pressurewill be placed on the basementwall when the soil becomes wetagain or freezes. Pouring waterdirectly in the crack can cause ex-pansion and leakage problems

clear down to the footings. Check,water and relax is the recommen-dation for this problem. A re-minder: property policies exclude

losses directly or indirectly fromany earth movement, earth sink-ing, rising, shifting, settling,shrinkage, bulging or expansion,including resultant cracking ofpavement, patios, foundations,walls, floors or ceilings.-NDSUExtension

Under the ELT system, motorvehicle lien recordings and titleapplications processed on andafter October 1 that denote a lienwill not be issued a paper titledocument. The title document

will be retained electronically inthe states data base. A papermotor vehicle title certificate willbe printed when the lien is re-leased.

The Division continues to lookfor effective, efficient ways toserve the citizens of SouthDakota, said Deb Hillmer, Divi-sion of Motor Vehicles director.Implementing the ELT systemwill provide advantages to our in-dustry partners as well as indi-viduals in the notation andrelease of liens, such as a reduc-tion in duplicate titles and

quicker receipt of title upon lienpayoff.South Dakota will join a num-

ber of other states that have al-ready implemented ELT.

According to Hillmer, lendersrecording a motor vehicle lienhave the option to utilize an ap-proved third party provider thatwill provide the lender with elec-tronic notices of title and lienwhen the motor vehicle record isprocessed in the state system.Participating lenders will also re-lease a lien electronically throughits provider. Upon receipt of theelectronic lien release, the titlewill be printed and mailed to themotor vehicle owner, unless di-rected otherwise by the lender.

Lenders that do not participatethrough a third party providercan obtain access to search thestates title system to verify titleand lien records. Lienholder in-formation, title brands and otherpublic motor vehicle informationcan be accessed through the SD-cars system at www.sdcars.org byentering a valid motor vehicle

VIN in the VIN option.More information is online at
