6 Wednesday, September 13, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Round-Up host says no to group that sells Confederate flags PENDLETON (AP) — Round-Up week’s most vis- ible purveyor of the Stars and Bars won’t be back on Pendleton’s Main Street this year. The East Oregonian reports that Round-Up host The Main Street Cowboys didn’t accept the application of Liberty Flags & Gifts. Last year the vendor was criticized for display- ing and selling Confederate flags. Host Director Johnny Blagg says the current politi- cal climate and the media scrutiny were factors in the organization’s deci- sion to pass on the vendor’s application. Liberty Flags & Gifts owner Viola Moody says she thought that she and Blagg had reached a compromise for the 2017 event during a recent talk. But Moody says she recently learned that their application was denied. She says they’re “dumping” on the group’s free speech.

Cascade Ave., Sisters • 541-549-2631 Class prepares mentors in Sisters Central Oregon Partnerships for Youth (COPY), a program of the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office, is offering a class to prepare volunteers to become mentors for chil- dren with an incarcerated parent. After initial training and comprehensive back- ground checks, volunteers are matched with children in Sisters that share similar interests and activities and commit to spending a few hours a week together for a minimum of one year. This time is often spent going to community events, working on homework, attending art programs, participating in sports, or simply hanging out and talking. On Saturday, September 23, COPY will offer an ori- entation/training class. This six-hour class covers pro- gram policies, how to estab- lish a mentor relationship, the impact incarceration has on families, and communica- tion skills. There is no cost to attend, but advance registra- tion is required. For additional details call 541-388-6651 or email COPY@deschutes.org. Additional program informa- tion is available at the sher- iff’s office web site at www. sheriff.deschutes.org/copy. . How Can You Leave The Legacy You Desire? You may not see it in the greeting card section of your local drugstore, but August is “What Will Be Your Legacy Month.” So it’s a good time to think about the type of legacy you’d like to leave. Of course, “legacy” can mean many things. In the broadest sense, your legacy is how you will be remembered by your loved ones, friends and the communities to which you belong. On a practical level, establishing your legacy means providing your family and the charitable organizations you support with the resources you’d like them to have. And that means you may need to take the following actions: create your plans, communicate your wishes, and review and up- date your documents. Let’s take a quick look at all these steps: • Create your plans. You will want to work with your legal pro- fessional, and possibly your tax and fi nancial professionals, too, to draft the plans needed to fulfi ll your legacy wishes. Th ese plans may include drafting a will, living trust, healthcare directive, power of attorney and other documents. Ideally, you want these plans to do more than just convey where you want your money to go – you want to impart, to the next generation, a sense of the eff ort that went into building the wealth they receive. Without such an ap- preciation, your heirs may be less than rigorous in retaining the tangible legacies you’ve left them. • Communicate your wishes. It’s important to communicate your legacy-related wishes to your family members as early as pos- sible. By doing so, you can hopefully avoid unpleasant surprises and hurt feelings when it’s time for your estate to be settled – and you’ll also let people know what tasks, if any, they need to perform. For example, if you’re choosing a family member to be the executor of your estate, or if you’re giving someone power of attorney over your fi nancial or health-related matters, they should be prepared. • Update your documents. During your life, you may well ex- perience any number of changes – new marriage, new children, opening a family business, and so on. You need to make sure your legal documents and fi nancial accounts refl ect these changes. For example, if you’ve remarried, you may want to change the benefi - ciary designations on your IRA, 401(k) and other retirement ac- counts – if left untouched, these designations may even supersede the instructions left in your will. And the directions in life chosen by your grown children may also dictate changes in your will or living trust. In any case, it’s a good idea to review all your legacy- related documents periodically, and update them as needed. In addition to taking the above steps, you also need to protect the fi nancial resources that go into your legacy. So, when you retire and begin taking funds from your IRA, 401(k) and other retire- ment accounts, make sure your withdrawal rate is suffi cient for your living expenses, but not so high that it eventually jeopardizes the amounts you planned to leave to your family or to your pre- ferred charities. A fi nancial professional can help you determine the withdrawal rate appropriate for your situation. With careful planning, and by making the right moves, you can create the type of legacy you desire – one that can benefi t your loved ones far into the future.
