How’s everyone doing there in Millard County? With all this unseasonably (and record breaking temperatures) one must seem to be at the very least psychologically good the warmth and sunshine seem to have that uplifting effect us on us Don’t you think so? The thing that always happens is weather is going to “change” and this We can’t prevent the inevitable - it will change no matter how much we like change - guaranteed In recent weeks we’ve been about ‘estate snd I planning’ talking gaveyou a number of questions to ask yourselves Did you ask and were you able to answer them? I admit that some of them warm weather it might answer but they were kind of weren’t they? (That’s the whole point of asking) One of the questions was what exactly is estate planning? Remember that one? Well that could have many different meanings according to what your individual situation is but let me give you a plain old textbook explanation - estate planning is the assets in a manner that meets lifetime financial process of arranging objectives and for survivors’ needs and the disposition simultaneously provides of (your) property at death A carefully implemented estate plan can help to - create and conserve assets during life - minimize death taxes and estate settlement costs - assure that cash is available to pay unavoidable death taxes and costs - provide an orderly distribution of assets that meets the estate owner’s objectives and intentions provide peace of mind and family harmony And while we don’t have any control over the warm weather that will change we do have a great deal of control over the that will take with a place changes good “estate plan” I know that some of you have some real concerns about this - so let me encourage you while it’s fresh on your mind to stop “thinking about it” and take action now it could be painful instead of painless otherwise Thanks again for allowing me to visit with you and please don’t be shy call or send me an andor comments will be gladly received and addressed Questions See you soon John have been a little bit difficult to Millard Memories Don Walker Some years ago I put on a tuxedo for the wedding of one of my sons His brother as best man was also duded up in a tux Our wives said that we looked handsome To the left of the handsome groom was his pretty bride and to her left was a line of pretty bridesmaids all sisters of the bride Altogether we must have given a rather stiff formal elegance to the occasion The ceremony over while romantic piano music softly filled the room we stood around and exchanged the moment’s chitchat Later the bridal pair drove off for a honeymoon their car decorated elegantly with ribbons of toilet paper During the affair or soon after I thought about some country wedding in an earlier time Perhaps I remembered a story by the Idaho novelist Vardis Fisher Titled “Charivari” the story narrates the bridal evening of a young couple apprehensively waiting a final ritual They have fastened the door with the back of a chair and drawn the blinds Finally they hear “a sudden tremendous din outside It was like the sound of a thousand tin cans and a thousand mad drums” They are being chivareed They get their bridal peace only after the groom has passed a jug of whiskey to the revelers is a French noun meaning rough music hubbub Charivari clatter As a ritual associated with weddings it has a long history In France in the 15th century masked revelers In Italy the music was serenaded the bridal couple with noisy improvised instruments even rowdier The rumors (racket) brought the Church’s condemnation and the passing of civil statutes In Avignon France fines on participants were used to pay for the cleaning of streets Anglicized as a transitive verb chivalry or shivaree has been in the language of American folkways for many years In my Oak City days every newly married couple could anticipate (and likely fear) a shivareeing some without so much noise as outrageous pranks: a couple separated with the bride left a mile or so out on the road to the groom left a mile or so down the road to Delta a couple left together on Leamington a horseless buggy a hundred feet or so out in the Sinks on the south shallow shore a couple earned in the back of a wildly driven buggy the groom hanging on to whatever he could grab the bride hanging on to the groom the buggy all the time sounding the bridal music of rattling tin cans and contralto cow bells One perverse variation knew of: a ringleader in many shivarees prepared for his own shivaree by having a barrel of active cider waiting for the revelers’ pleasure He and his bride waited expectantly They waited the whole night But not a bang of a pan or a taunting yell Silence and a were their shivaree planned The decline of die shivaree can I believe be attributed to the demise of the buggy Being socially kidnaped in a honking Buick can’t have much thrill to it One further note: after the wedding if not after the shivaree there is of course a recaption where the guests congratulate make social conversation and admire the gift tables loaded with mixers sheets towels cook books and newfangled can openers From the old days I remember vividly a wedding present among the towels and pillow cases displayed on the stage of the old cultural hall: a large Rhode Island Red rooster tied by a leg to a flatiron by B Dutson Reporting ' Bridal life on the wild side pm at Delta every Thursday Co Utah 84624 by Du Wil Publishing Delta on the prin- John Smith RHU an accomplished benefit professional who has dedicated his financial practice to the areas annuities health and life insurance for the benefit companies and Individuals Blending these John develops both a secure and meaningful retirement components and consummate estate plan plan Hu address: 440 South 700 East Suite 203 Salt Lake City Utah 84102 Phone number fax number 801 By Reed Jeffery & Jay T Rogers Published Publisher stand ciple that one is innocent until proven' guilty This applies to even the most hideous criminals Should not the parents who educate their children at home have the same benefit No test is administered to parents to see if they are abusing their children Parents should be presumed nocent of negligent teaching unless charges are filed and proved Othefwise If one set of parents fail in their duty does it make all parents guilty? 3 -

When you allow the state to dictate what the family must teach what happens when someone decides children should be free to without the bias of their families religious political or philosophical teachings? 5 - It has been said that every child in should have the right to a free America This is not a principle public education of our country or constitution This is a found in the Marxist Commuprinciple nist Manifesto I believe we could say more correctly that our country was founded on the principle that every child (family) should have the right to be free from state education if they so choose 6 - No one loves or has the best interests of their children in mind more than parents do Home educating takes time money and a great deal of effort 7 - Outside of the three R’s with all the knowledge that is available in the world who is to decide what is most valuable the State Board of Education the UEA the NEA a national school board?
