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.

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.

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.
