Expanding Horizons
Be a Caring Person
By Janet Lake, University Extension Educator, 4-H/Youth,
Crook County Extension Office
CHARACTER COUNTS! is a character development program
that has been woven into Wyoming 4-H. The Six Pillars of Char-
acter--truthworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, earing,
and citizenship--are each emphasized for two months. Caring is
highlighted during September and October.
According to wordreference.com, caring means a loving feeling,
having or displaying warmth or affection, feeling and exhibiting
concern and empathy for others. Caring is the heart of ethics and
ethical decision-making. It is scarcely possible to be truly ethical
and yet unconcerned with the welfare of others. That is because
ethics is ultimately about good relations with others. It is easier to
love "humanity" than to love "people." People who consider them-
selves ethical and yet lack a caring attitude toward individuals
tend to treat others as instruments of their will. They rarely feel
an obligation to be honest, loyal, fair, or respectful, except insofar
as it is prudent for them to do so, a tendency which itself hints at
fraud and a lack of integrity. A person who really cares feels an
emotional response to both the pain and pleasure of others. The
highest form of caring is the honest expression of benevolenoe or
selflessness. "A smile is the light in your window that tells others
that there is a caring, sharing person inside" (Denis Waitley).
Learning to give compliments is one way to develop a caring
character. Try this "Little Brown Bag of Compliments" actixity
with your family or with a group of youth (or adults!) in your :life.
Give each youth a brown lunch bag and as many index cards as
there are people in the group. Have each youth decorate a bag
and write his or her name on it. Have them sit in a circle and pass
their bag to the person on their right. Then have youth wrilte a
compliment on an index card about the person whose bag they
are holding. When they finish have them place the index card in
the bag and pass the bag to the person on their right. Continue
until each person once again has his or her own bag. Let the yo,uth
read their compliments and then discuss the importance of giving
positive compliments and sharing feelings of appreciation.
Learning to be caring is a process for youth. Work on developing
a caring attitude in the youth in your area of influence. For more
information about 4-H or CHARACTER COUNTS! please contact

Social Security
Payments Arrive with Direct Deposit, No
Matter What
By Kathy Petersen, Social Security Public Affairs
Specialist in Rapid City
These days, almost everyone gets their benefrt payment
by direct deposit. Whether you receive Social Security or
Supplemental Secudty Income (SSI), you can depend on your
payment arriving in your account on time, every time. If you don't
already have direct deposit, there are good reasons to sign up. For
one, less money and time spent driving to the bank to cash your
check helps you save. Second, fewer paper checks, envelopes,
and stamps, and less fuel to deliver the checks means less waste
and pollution for the environment.
Hurricane season is here for some areas. Other areas bear
the brunt of flooding. Some areas of the nation are plagued
by tornadoes, and still others must deal with wildfires, severe
thunderstorms, or even earthquakes. If you are unfortunate enough
to be in the line of a natural disaster, the last thing you want is
for your income to be interrupted because of an evacuation or a
missing mailbox. With direct deposit, you know your payment will
be in your account on time no matter what.
When on vacation, direct deposit ensures payments will be
deposited into your account on time, so there's no reason to worry
about the safety of your benefd or to ask a neighbor to look out for
As an added bonus, many banks offer free checking accounts
for people who use direct deposit because it saves the bank the
cost of processing paper payments. Plus, the payment probably
will show up in your bank account sooner than a paper check will
appear in the mailbox ... and there's no need to cash it. It's already
in the bank.
Skip the line at the bank, save money, get your payment faster,
and know you can depend on your payment being in the bank no
matter what. You can do all of this with direct deposit. Learn more
about it at www.socialsecurity.gov/deposit or by calling 1-800-772-
1213.
