Here are the stories that had Sioux Falls talking this week:

  • A Stanley County School District custodian was fired after he posted a video of a crumpled up American flag on his Facebook page. Cesar Zakahi claims another janitor at the school would remove the South Dakota state flag and the American flag from the flagpole every morning and crumple them up and toss them in the school's boiler room. After complaining about the disrespect and nothing being done about it, he posted a short video on his Facebook page. He was then fired. The school superintendent has issued a statement saying the termination was not related to the flag incident. However this shakes out, our flag deserves better.

  • If you get a call, most likely from a guy with a foreign accent claiming to be from Microsoft...hang up. He will tell you to turn on your computer and follow his instructions carefully or everything on your computer will be erased...it's a scam.
