Last week the Federal Re-serve once again lowered rates by aquarter percent. So, we can expecta delayed reaction in the mortgagemarket coming soon. Meaning thatsooner or later we do expect ratesto drop slightly by either an eighthor a quarter percent even furtherthan where we are today in the lowrate environment we are experienc-ing.

So, how does that effect you.With rates entering into one of thelowest mortgage rate environmentsin the past several years, it makessense to refinance the mortgage fora few reasons:

But as we do so please get

By Brandon Hansen

Federal Reserve Once Again Lowered Rates By A Quarter Percentthree estimates and look at the clos-ing costs of the loan coupled withthe interest rates.

Banksand lendersmay quoteyou a lowi n t e r e s trate, buthave heavyfees associ-ated withthe closing.

It may even be prohibitive to refi-nance if fees cost several thousanddollars. The benefit of loweringyour payment just got swallowed upin closing costs, so please watch clos-ing fees.

But, with that said in how to

shop, here is somethings to thinkabout with reasons why we need tolook at a refinance.

1. If you or your kids havemortgage insurance on your mort-gage and we are throwing thatmoney away each month, let’s seeif we can eliminate it and drop it fromthe payment. With the appreciationof homes today and the nice run wehave had on values over the last twoyears, it makes it more possible toeliminate the mortgage insurancefrom the payment. The same goeswith helocs or home equity lines withhigher and interest only payments.We can roll these loans into today’srate and make the same paymentwhile paying down principal and in-terest because of the lower rate on a

mortgage versus a heloc.2. If we have credit card debt

or outside bills from medical or otherthat we are trying to pay off

then certainly let’s wrap thatinto our mortgage payment and sim-plify our monthly cash flow. Bydropping the interest rate on the debt,we can make the same payment andpay off all of our debt in a quarter ofthe time versus trying to keep upwith the high interest rate debts.

We have to realize that if wehave 5,000 to 10,000 in credit carddebt or medical debt and the inter-est that is charged will be a 300.00payment for example. If we roll thatinto the mortgage it will increase thepayment by 25.00 to 50.00 permonth. That is, it.

We then can choose to makethe extra on our mortgage and paythe same amount as our cards orwe simply save the 250.00 permonth so we don’t get back into thecredit card chase again.

As a senior, I am not a fan ofpaying extra on the mortgage pay-ment because we most likely willhave the payment for the remainderof our life and not pay the homeoff. So, what would be the point inpummeling more money into themortgage payment if it won’t everbenefit you. Yes, perhaps the kidswill have another 5,000 in equity ofthe home when you pass, but I am

In most cases, you can re-ceive an inheritance without re-porting it as income because aninheritance is not considered tax-able income. However, it is adifferent story when you inheritan individual retirement account(“IRA”).

IRAs are a creature of stat-ute – to promote retirement in-vestments. Two of the majorbenefits of IRAs are deferredtaxation and creditor protection.Competent estate planning is

Estate Planning When You Have Large IRAsBy Joseph Prete needed to maximize these ben-

efits for designated beneficiaries.

Deferred Taxation. Fundsinvested in IRAs are not taxableuntil they are withdrawn. Gen-erally, annual “Required Mini-

mum Distributions” (“RMD”)must be withdrawn beginning atage 70 ½. The RMD amount istied to your life expectancy andannual distributions must be re-ported as income.

So, what happens if youdie before using up yourIRA? Remaining IRA fundswill be divided among the ben-eficiaries you designate in yourIRA paperwork. It is wise tolist multiple levels of beneficia-ries.

When a spouse is namedas a primary beneficiary, a“spousal rollover” often makessense, allowing the survivingspouse to roll the decedentspouse’s IRA into the surviv-ing spouse’s IRA. However,special steps are advisable in a“second marriage” situation.

Under current law, ifchildren inherit an IRA, theirRMDs will be tied to their lifeexpectancy, allowing them to“stretch” the withdrawals

(minimizing taxes). When acommon trust or estate inher-its an IRA, the entire IRA likelyneeds to be distributed withinfive years (potentially increas-ing taxes). When charities arenamed as beneficiary, IRAfunds are received tax-free.Estate/tax planning strategiescould change if the “SecureAct” (or similar legislation) ispassed by the U.S. Senate.

Creditor Protection .When you invest in an IRA,creditor protections apply, butthe same is not true for an in-herited IRA. Thus, if you havea child who inherits your IRAand the child has creditor prob-lems, creditors may be able toreach the IRA assets.

IRA Conduit Trust. Ifyou have a large IRA and youanticipate that a beneficiarycould inherit a significant sum,it may be prudent to considerformation of an IRA ConduitTrust – which can give you the

benefit of deferred taxation andcreditor protection.

not sure that is the goal here.Thus, payoff the cards

with the mortgage, and savethe 250.00 per month andkeep it for a rainy day or forheaven sakes enjoy that asspending money each month.

3. Finally, if we areplanning on buying a new caror need a car or even a RV,finance it with your mort-gage. This is my advice withclient’s over 60 years of age.My client’s will take out a40,000 RV loan and have a500.00 per month payment.As a retiree, the goal is allabout cash flow, so 40,000in your mortgage paymentwill add 200.00 per monthnot 500.00. So, that RV onlycosts you 200.00 monthly.

Now I realize you arecarrying it over more years.But the interest rate is lowerperiod. So, if you choose tofinance the RV and want topay it off early, just again

Healthy Foods Can Be Ruining Your Teethies, but they have ruined theirteeth. In my opinion the culprit issipping green smoothies.

Green smoothies areblended leafy green vegetables thatare sweetened with fruit to taste—they are very acidic and have anacid level similar to sodas. I rec-ommend that people drink theirsmoothies quickly with a strawinstead of constantly bathing theirteeth all day by sipping it. Drink-ing through a straw can keep the

acid off you teeth and drinking itquickly instead of long periods ofsipping allows the pH of yourmouth to return to normal quicker.Waiting at least 30 minutes beforebrushing is suggested so that thebrush does not combine with theacid to accelerate the destruction.

Also, some specific followup foods can help. Slowly dis-solving some aged cheddar orfeta cheese in your mouth afterthese acidic foods can buffer and

lower the pH in your mouth andprotect your teeth. Almonds arelow in sugar and rich in calciumthat can strengthen teeth, but becareful of popcorn, another“healthy” food that hasunpopped kernels that can breakteeth and hulls that can get stuckin between teeth and lead to in-fections if not flossed out.

make additional payments onyour mortgage and you willpay it off in a third of thetime. But, again to my retir-ees that most likely won’t’pay off the mortgage duringtheir lifetime, we keep theminimum amount of paymentmonthly as we can during ourfixed income years.

So, if we can lower ourpayment, pay off credit carddebt, or we are planning onfinancing either more homeimprovements or an auto oran RV, think about using yourmortgage to accomplish whatyou would like.

But as we mentioned atthe head of the article, pleaseshop rates and fees. That iswhy we as a lender charge aflat fee on all of our loans of1295.00 so we can breakeven on the savings no mat-ter the size of the loan in thefirst year.

Tales Of The Old WestWyatt Earp AndThe AldermanBy “Doc” Hal Hickman

W.B. (Bat) Masterson isone of those “officers of the law” inthe west who were renowned fortheir steadfast upholding of the lawas set down by the federal govern-ment, state and territorial legislatures,and city fathers. And he had re-spect for other Sheriffs andMarshalls who took the same posi-tion. That’s why he was a close

friend of Wyatt Earp.In the Spring of 1876, a young

Wyatt was appointed Assistant CityMarshall of Dodge City, Kansas be-cause after serving for three years inan Iowa regiment in the Civil Warand had formed a strong sense ofright and wrong.

He wasn’t very long on theforce before one of the aldermen ofthe city, presuming somewhat on theauthority of his position over a po-lice officer, ordered Wyatt, one night,to perform some official act thatlooked a little shady to the newdeputy. So, Wyatt refused point

blank to obey the order.The alderman, having some-

what of his own reputation as ascrapper himself, approached Wyatt

in a huff and began to tear his offi-cial star from his vest.

When the alderman woke uphe seemed a greatly changed man.Wyatt had knocked him down theminute he touched his chest. He

then reached down and picked himup with his left hand and slammed afew right hooks and a number ofupper-cuts to his face and jaw. Hethen dragged the limp body over tothe calaboose and chucked it into acell. He would have done the sameto any roughie who had attacked alawman.

The alderman’s friends triedto get him out on bail during the night,but Wyatt let it be known that thebody of the city father would restjust where it placed it until the morn-ing when police court opened and ahearing was held. In the morningthe alderman was a changed manregarding law officers, and none ofthe city officials challenged theMarshall’s office.

From that point on, Wyatt

Earp went around town armed, buthe never had occasion to fire a singleshot or even clear his colt from itsholster. Well, maybe that is stretch-ing it a little bit, but you had to bepretty drunk to even think about it.

After a few years, the law-man moved on to Colorado, then toArizona, and then Nevada. His stintin Tombstone wasn’t nearly as longas most folks think. After the inci-dent at the OK Corral he moved onto more friendly places. His reputa-tion as a gun-slinging lawmanhounded him and he finally gave upthe business. He retired in Califor-nia with his wife and seldom spoke

of his wild days in those Territories.But his reputation lives on in booksand movies and dime novels.(Source: Bat Masterson, “FamousGunfighters of the Western Fron-tier”)

When Lacey Williams got aphone call in early fall from Russelland Lyndsey Wulfenstein asking ifshe’d be interested in collaboratingon a Christmas concert with them,her answer was an emphatic “abso-lutely.” Lacey and her husbandDrew, who make up the countryduo Drew & Lacey, moved to south-ern Utah a few years ago from Nash-ville, where the two had worked asmusicians for a decade. A highlightof their time in Nashville was an an-nual Christmas concert they pro-duced that became a yearly tradi-tion for many fans, friends and fam-ily members. So it was an easy an-swer for Lacey when asked if theywanted to collaborate with theWulfenstein’s to put together a showfor the city of Kanab.

Russell and Lyndsey, a hus-band and wife duo of their own(aptly named the W duo) are nostrangers to show business them-

A Nashville ChristmasBy Lacey Williams selves. The Kanab based pair has

produced and performed in someof the city’s best musical events inrecent years. Both duos feature acombination of country, bluegrass

and folk music, blending their stylesinto energetic shows that are fun forall ages.

As planning commenced forthe event it quickly became appar-ent that a fifth musician was neededto complete the lineup. Ryan Tilby,an award winning multi-instrumen-talist and composer who also hap-

pens to be neighbors and friends withDrew and Lacey was deemed theperfect fit. “As soon as we begandiscussing details for the show, I knewwe needed to get Tilby [Ryan] onboard.” said Drew of the fifth showmember. Ryan Tilby brings his ver-satile musicianship and blazing banjo

playing to the group, but he is alsoan accomplished composer whoserecent guitar instrumentals havetopped the Billboard charts. His takeon traditional Christmas classics willabsolutely be part of the show setlist.

What else is on that set list?Toe-tapping country versions of the

Christmas songs we all know andlove, as well as bluegrass numbers,original songs, and plenty of holidaysurprises. “We wanted to put to-gether a high-caliber show that wouldbe the perfect holiday icing on thecake for the Christmas season.” saidRussell about his motivation behindthe event. Both Russell and his wifeLyndsey suggested The RedstoneTheater as a top option for the show.Lyndsey described the theater “as

quaint and homey with a vibe thatwill add to the Christmas spirit.”

The group is hoping to pullfrom the city of Kanab as well assurrounding southern Utah cities.For more information and to buytickets to the December 20th event,visit www.anashvillechristmas.com.This show is made possible by thegenerous support of Honey’s Mar-ketplace and South Central Com-munications.

Let’s Celebrate With Gratefulness AndThanksgivingBy Bev Rankin, aka, TheBread Lady

Let’s Celebrate WithGratefulness And Thanksgiving

In 1621 the Pilgrims joinedtogether with the Native Ameri-cans celebrating the Pilgrimsvery first harvest. Again, inOctober of 1863 the people werereminded of the harvest andtheir blessings by AbrahamLincoln’s Thanksgiving Procla-mation citing “the year that isdrawing towards its close, hasbeen filled with blessings of fruit-ful fields and healthful skies. Tothese bounties, which are soconstantly enjoyed that we areprone to forget the source fromwhich they come, others havebeen added, which are of so ex-traordinary a nature, that they

cannot fail to penetrate andsoften even the heart which ishabitually insensible to the everwatchful providence of AlmightyGod”. Even with all the troublesof the world and the difficultiesso many suffer, I can’t help thinkwe all have something to bethankful for. On a lighter note,I’d like to share a few thoughtson Thanksgiving from Fox NewOpinion 2009:

1. Americans will consumeover 45 million turkeys onThanksgiving Day.

2. “As we express ourgratitude, we must never forgetthat the highest appreciation isnot to utter words, but to livethem.” (President John F.Kennedy)

3. Many psychologistsconcur that being thankful is thehealthiest of all emotions.

4. Being thankful is a keycomponent of healthy relation-ships.

5. Our thanks are bestfound in our giving.

6. Being thankful aligns usfor wholeness.

As for myself, I am grate-ful for many things including theopportunity to share with all theSampler’s readers some of myfamily’s favorite recipes.Today’s article is not so muchabout a recipe as about sculpt-ing. As you all know, one ofmy favorite items to work withis “bread dough”. Over theyears, I have come up with some

fun and interesting editable cen-terpieces but this turkey has gotto be the best. I can’t tell youhow excited all the family andguests become when they seethis BIRD sitting in the middleof the dinner table. Breadsculpting is fun to do and everso easy. You just have to re-member that what you form foryour final sculpture comes outdouble the size!

Bev’s Editable TurkeyCenterpiece

One recipe of your favor-ite white bread or one loaf offrozen “bake and serve” dough.

Divide dough in half.Make one ball with one half ofthe dough and pat it down sothat it is about 2-3 inches inheight and approximately 6inches round. Place it on a largecookie sheet which has beenlined in parchment paper. Cutthe other piece of dough into 8equal pieces. For the tail feath-ers, roll each piece of dough intoa cylinder shape, pressing itdown fairly flat and making oneend come to a point. Attacheach feather to the body by dip-ping your fingers in a little warmwater and placing larger end onthe body where feathers will

attach. (The feathers actuallylie flat and are just pressed upagainst the body). Make a roundball with the 7th piece of doughand place it where the headshould attach, pressing it upagainst the body of the turkeywith a little water rubbed on thedough. Cut the last piece ofdough in half. Make a square,flat piece of dough for the feetand attach accordingly. For thelittle red dangly thing, it’s calledthe wattle, roll the dough into arope shape and form it from thebottom of the head of the tur-key down along the body. Placea clean cloth over the dough andlet it rise until double in bulk.Five minutes before you areready to bake turkey, heat ovento 350-375 degrees. Beat oneegg white and 1 tablespoon wa-ter together until mixed. Using abasting brush, cover the body,head and feet of the turkey withegg wash. Now add a little redfood coloring to your egg washand using a basting brush, coverthe feathers and wattle. Use acranberry or raisin for the eyepressing it into the surface of thedough. Bake for 25-30 minutesuntil browned and center of bodyis baked through. Have FUN!


Principles Of Freedom

By Lynn West

History is filled with ex-amples of people who made adifference in spite of bad situ-ations, personal inconvenienceor political trends that made itdifficult to do the right thing.Many of these people havebecome my heroes once I havetaken the time to learn aboutthem. Almost all of them wereflawed in some way, but theymake the effort to do “some-thing” about the things that areor were wrong in the currentconditions they faced and al-most all of them paid a pricefor their efforts.

Today, I will tell youabout a young man namedDavid Muselman. He was afreshman at Taylor Universityin Indiana last spring. When itwas announced that Vice-President Mike Pence hadbeen invited to give the com-mencement address, David andmost others on campus wereexcited and pleased. A few ex-treme liberals decided to forcethe University to cancel thevisit by protesting loudly. Be-ing part of the Trump admin-istration is about the only thingI can attribute their reaction to.Mike Pence seems to me to bea true conservative and a goodperson. He is not combative orrude and his statements arethoughtful and generally kind.

Inconceivable as itseems, statements from liberalstudents that they were afraidof him coming to campus andeven that they were shaking in

The Story of One fear of his visit seem either dis-ingenuous or misinformed.Media around the countrygrabbed onto the statementsfrom this minority and por-trayed it as a rejection by thewhole university of Mr. Pence.It quickly became obvious thatthe university was feeling pres-sured from within and withoutto cancel his visit and speech.

David says he felt likesomeone should do somethingabout this, but unlike many, heactually did something. He andhis friend Jerice Broyer de-cided to design and print T-shirts that said “I Like Mike”and included a picture of theVice President. They also tookthem door to door and soldthem. At first, only a fewbought them, but soon lots ofpeople including faculty, staffand even alumni and adminis-tration bought them and worethem. The convocation went

forward as planned and theself-serving desire of a few ac-tivist students was counteredby the will and willingness toact of a strong majority. Whoknows whether the minoritywould have succeeded if notfor the efforts of David and hisfriends.

It may seem a small thing,but if no one counters thosesmall groups who loudly try toget their way and convince oth-ers to support them, the some-times silent majority will con-tinue to see their values, beliefsand concerns trampled. He wasnot confrontive, did not yell andscream and did not portray thosewith whom he disagreed as de-generates or stupid or indeed at-tack them in any way. He madea positive attempt to support agood action without confronta-tion or demonization. Somethingour politicians and some of ourcitizens could learn from.

I have many heroes, someof which you may not haveheard or know much about. Iencourage you to read the sto-

ries of bravery and convictionthat have changed the world orat least sought to stand for goodand right things. Just a few ofthose I would recommend youactually take the time to learnabout are Gandhi, MotherTeresa, Joan of Arc, GeorgeWashington, DietrichBonhoeffer and HelmuthHubener (who separately stoodagainst Nazism and Hitler), Mar-tin Luther, Martin Luther KingJr., Malala Yousafzai, TheTienanman Square Tank Man,Florence Nightingale and manyothers. Their stories have in-spired me and encouraged meto do what I can to inspire andencourage others. It is why I ran

for office and why I write.Please realize you can do

something, even if it seemssmall. Even being courteous andkind while sharing what you be-lieve with others is an act ofheroism in our contentious day.We all need to speak the truthwith love.

Shaun McCausland (akaLynn West) is a thinker, a teacherand a patriot. You can reach himthrough email [email protected] through this newspaper. Lib-erty is a state of being whichmust be continually created.These articles can help all of usdiscover the ways we can con-tribute to that outcome.

In 1973, there was a mas-sive fire at the National PersonnelRecords Center in St. Louis, Mis-souri. It destroyed about 80% ofthe Army and Army Corps files. Ifyou are one the unlucky oneswhose loved ones’ records weredestroyed with this fire, do not de-spair. You can reconstruct a fileusing alternate record sources.

Jennifer Holik, whose exper-tise is military records, has writtenthe blog “Fire and Devastation!Reconstructing World War II Ser-vice” for Ancestry.com. She hasseveral steps that she recommendsin reconstructing these servicerecords.

1. Start with what youknow. Holik has a questionnaire todownload to help you gather whatyou need. https://wwiiresearchandwritingcenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Mili-tary-Service-Questionnaire1.pdf

2. Most records are notonline such as the Official MilitaryPersonnel Files (OMPFs). How-ever, you can find databases, in-dexes, maps, photographs, andunit-level reports on Ancestry.comand Fold3.com to help you createservice timelines and guide you toresources.

3. The soldier’s serial num-ber will be needed. Social Securitynumbers were used after WorldWar II. You can locate the numberon the following Ancestry.com da-tabases.

· Army – “U.S., WorldWar II Army Enlistment Records,1938-1946” or “Utah, MilitaryRecords, 1861-1970”

ReconstructingWorld War II Service

Files

· Marine Corps – “U.S,Marine Corps Must Rolls, 1798-1958”

· Navy – “U.S. World WarII Navy Muster Rolls, 1938-1949”

· If they died in service –“U.S. Roster of World War IIDead”

· The National PersonnelRecords Center also has the serialnumbers in an index on microfilm.

4. Do not assume that yoursoldier was in only one unit. It wascommon for soldiers to be trans-ferred between companies and unitsas needed.

5. After gathering the infor-mation needed to fill out the ques-tionnaire, it is time to request yoursoldier’s military records. Findingthe serial number is a big help. Evenif you had requested the servicefile before and the file was declaredburned, try again. The NationalArchives are trying to recreate andsalvage what records they can.

6. You can request militaryrecords in one of these ways:

· Online via e-VetRecshttps://vetrecs.archives.gov/VeteranRequest/home.html (theeasiest and best way to request)

· Fax or mail the RequestPertaining to Military Records,SF180 https://www.archives.gov/files/research/order/standard-form-180.pdf

Reconstructing the militaryhistory of your ancestors is a greatway to make sure that we do notforget their service to our country.These records and memoirs com-piled into a book also make a greatChristmas present.
