Today, if you don’t know what your legal rights are, you may as well not have any! It is predicted that soon, having a legal services plan will be as common as having medical or auto insurance. Last year in America, there were approximately 100 million court filings and law suits. That same year, approximately 34 million people were admitted to hospitals across the country. The odds are three times greater that you will be in court than in the hospital, yet most people in America have a hospitalization plan and less that 1% have any kind of legal plan. Seventy percent of the population does not have a will. By contrast, 80% of Europeans have a legal plan (Examining the Work of State Courts. Hospital Statistics: Emerging Trends. Nolo’s Everyday Law Book). Legal plans make attorney services affordable, and gives hundreds of thousands of people access to the legal system and legal justice. A comprehensive Family Legal Plan can offer a member of a legal services plan preventive legal benefits such as consultations with attorneys, a will with annual updates, legal letters written and telephone calls made on the member’s behalf. Some legal services plans offer group rates for companies interested in the service as an employee benefit, and there are special plans for Law Officers, Truck Drivers (CDL licensed), and small business owners. Membership in a legal services plan can also include motor vehicle legal services (including teenage drivers), trial defense services, IRS audit assistance, and a preferred 25% discount on the attorney’s standard hourly rate on all legal services not otherwise covered by the selected plan.

A NEW LOOK FOR VALLEY ELEMENTARY Sixth graders at Valley Elementary are at it again! The excitement continues as students direct their unbridled artistic talent towards the very much needed renovation of restrooms at the school–hitting the east bathrooms this time. With the help of parent volunteers, Anderson Lumber, and the 4th and 5th grade classes, the restrooms are receiving this much needed face lift. Thanks again to Anderson Lumber for a price break on the supplies; Jeff Jordan and Glen Smith for helping with technical information, with help determining what was needed and brokering the deal; Eric Beresford and Jose Escobedo for patiently and cheerfully spending 2 ½ hours cutting the masonite panels into the many different sizes needed for the project. The Weber County District Offices have come by and inspected the work, and have given the project a big stamp of approval. Masonite panels were cut to size and bolted to the brick tiles in the restrooms. Approximately 135 to 140 students helped with the painting. A big round of thanks goes to those who have helped make this project a success. The Weber County School District has announced that Valley Elementary will be receiving funds for much needed renovations and repairs to the school. The school has been on a waiting list for the funds.

Karlee and Lacee are the daughters of Tim and Doug Dickson of Liberty. Karlee and Lacee’s letters were both read over KSL radio recently. During a school assembly, SOS staffing services came to Valley Elementary and honored Mrs. Anderson with a plaque in recognition of her efforts as a teacher. She was also given a $200 gift certificate, contributed by Office Max office supply store.
