Indian Valley Record ' , Wednesday, Oct. 12, 2011 • 7A BAN K, from page 1A from dog walking to trans- portation for a doctor's appointment. PRS runs a background check on all applicants. If a member needs a service, Wall sends out a notification to other mem- bers who have indicated they can provide the service. Everything is confidential and no one is ever compelled to participate. If you provide a service, you bank the hours. If you need a service, you spend hours. All mem- bers' time is credited equally. For those approaching their older years, Commu- nity Connections can serve as a kind of savings account. "You're time banking way in advance," said Wall. "Think of it like a 401K." A senior who has previously banked hours can count on someone providing vital services like snow removal or wood cutting, which may allow seniors to continue to live independently. Although the grant will help PRS target soon-to-be seniors, Wall is quick to point out that Community Connections serves everyone. Members range in age from 6 years old to 93. The &year-old (juniors join for free but need parental approval) helped Community Connections time bank Mission Statement To connect people, strengthen families and build communities through the exchange of services. Four Core Values ASSETS We all have assets. The real wealth of a community is its people. Every person, regardless of their age, income level or education, is valuable-and has Something to offer to others. RECIPROCITY The impulse to give back is universal. Wherever possible, we must replace all forms of one-way acts of helping with tWo-way transactions, so that "you need me" becomes "we need each other." REDEFINING WORK Work must be redefined to include whatever it takes to rear healthy children, preserve families, make neighborhoods safe and vibrant, and care for the frail and vulnerable• SOCIAL CAPITAL People require a social network that is as essential as roads, bridges and utility lines. Social networks require ongoing invest- ments of individual time and talents. bottle feed sick kittens at the animal shelter. The 93-year- old does craft preparation for teachers. The idea of banking hours against future needs also works for those who know surgery or another disrup- tive event is on the horizon. Wall said the time bank helps fill the needs of those with small children, too. The net effect is to "broaden the concept of community across the county," said Wall. It also gives someone like the 93-year-old member, who is housebound, a feeling of belonging and worth. In addition to reaching out to all corners of the county, Wall said she would like to tap into and support the busi- ness community, to have, for example, an attorney or an electrician available for more involved needs. Community Connections already works with sponsors, like the county library, county museum, schools, chambers, visitors bureau and others. Sponsors, who pay a $100 annual fee and do not provide services, are able to call on members when they need volunteers for events. While PRS works to in- crease the capacity and sus- tainability of the Plumas County community, the Arch- stone grant will ensure that the nonprofit gets the support it needs to continue its efforts. In addition to the $100,000 award, PRS will receive individual support, group convenings, regular conference calls and peer-to- peer learning opportunities. Training in business plan- ning, marketing, sustaining growth and viability, creat- ing and managing strategic partnerships, and designing member programs, services and benefits is all included in the award. Wall heads to a nationwide convention at the end of this month.

Due da00,. = for 2010 taxes Oct. 17 The Franchise Tax Board (FTB) reminded taxpayers that Monday, Oct. 17, is the deadline to timely file their 2010 state personal income tax returns to avoid late filing penalties. More than 1.5 million Cali- fornians take advantage of California's automatic exten- sion for filing personal income tax returns. Free tax help is still avail- able. ReadyReturn and CalFile will be available through Oct. 17 on FrB's web- site, ftb.ca.gov. The Ready Return program completes the taxpayer's return for them using information, already collected from employers, such as W-2s. As of Oct. 6, FTB had 95,000 ReadyReturns available for taxpayers who have yet to file. CalFile is a free e-file pro- gram that accepts income of taxpayers to opt for direct de- posit into their bank account. Taxpayers can also access MyFTB Account, an online service where taxpayers can view their wage and withhold- up to $324,376, itemized deduc-, ing information, estimated tions and some tax credits. Taxpayers can access CalFile from the FTB website to input their information and send their return directly to FTB. Taxpayers can also use a tax preparer, or one of the other free or fee.based e-file services listed on FTB's website. E-fil- ing provides faster processing, increased accuracy and a timely confirmation that FTB received the return. For quick refunds, FTB encourages payments, FTB-issued 1099s and current balance informa- tion. FTB offers taxpayers elec- tronic payment options as well. FTB's Web Pay allows taxpay- ers to authorize a payment from their bank account to pay their return balance due or estimated tax payments. For a fee, taxpayers can also pay ' using major credit cards by calling (800) 2PAY-TAX (800-272-9829) or by visiting officialpayments.com. Installment payment plans are available on FrB's website for taxpayers who face finan- cial trouble. Those who owe less than $25,000 and can repay the balance within five years generally qualify. Don't forget the Federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). This is a federal in- centive for. low-income individtials and families. Tax- payers earning less than $48,362 can qualify for a "re- fundable" credit that can total up to $5,666. "Refundable" means taxpayers do not have to have a tax liability to get a refund check from the government. PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE Thank you, parents, for attending Parent-Teacher conferences.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR: Oct. 13, TES School Site Council Mtg. 5:00 pm in Room 2, TES Oct. 22, Halloween Carnival-Sponsored by Parents' Club OBITUARY Donna Cheryl Bryan- Hunter Donna Cheryl Bryan Hunter has passed peacefully into the West, to join her ancestors at her own hearth, at her home Sunday evening Oct. 9, 2011. Her family was at her side. She was born in Calcasieu Parish, La., on Feb. 4, 1947, to Truman and Franceile (Hill) Bryan, decedents of Con- federate families and earlier colonial settlers from Wales, Ireland and Scotland in 1637. Her immigrated ancestors found the Creek and Alabama Cherokee already here and her great heritage made Donna a devoted American patriot. Donna left Louisiana to reside in Texas before moving to the San Francisco Bay Area where she graduated from high school and spent her later teens and early 20s before moving to Plumas County in the late '60s. On Nov. 11, 1983, Donna married John R. Hunter in Reno, Nev., and to this union a daughter was born. The couple met while she was shopping at John's family's hardware store. She later became an integral part of the everyday operations of the store. She will be remembered in the community for the beautiful tributes to our local veterans she set up in the windows of Hunter Hardware for Veterans Day and Memorial Day. She was a talented seam- stress, and enjoyed the art of quilting, painting in oils and reading and studying about nature. Donna was preceded in death by her father, Truman Bryan, and sister, Ramona; and in passing leaves her husband of 28 years, John, of Greenville; daughter Suzy and soul mate Curtis Machlan, of Greenville; son Alex Hunter, of Boise, Idaho; brother Tom Bryan, of San Francisco; and sisters Barbara Bryan, of Fresno, and Brenda Lal, of Greenville. She asked that you also espe- cially remember the more than 51,000 veterans of her generation who lost their lives in Vietnam. A celebration of Donna's life will take place at the graveside in the Greenville District Cemetery, Saturday, oct. 15, at 2 p.m. An opportunity to express your condolences to the family along with signing the memorial guest register is available online at fehrman mortuary.com. The family asks that any remembrances in Donna's memory be made to your local veterans organiza- tion of choice.
