To Mr. Tolbert, I say, "There are roughly 42-million Americans served by more than 600 Electric cooperatives just like Garkane. These coop members are served by a cooperative and capital credit structure that is common and is approved by the IRS. Utah, like 33 other states in the na tion handle unclaimed capital credits in the same manner as Garkane.

While Utahns Against Hunger does not directly dis tribute food, Cornia said its mission is to increase access to food through advocacy with policymakers, promoting food assistance and educating the public about the need to help their "Theseneighbors.are organizations that every day are serving the needs of people who don't have enough money to buy food," said Cornia.

A will generally has to have the signatures of at least two unrelated witnesses. An at torney normally prepares the will. It is usually notarized.

Often much time and thought accompanies the signing of the will, as well as other for malities. On the other hand, the beneficiary designation is usually very simple. Usually, it involves nothing more than printing or typing a name in a box.

terms of the will or state stat ute governing the distribution of assets when there is no will will govern the distribution of the proceeds.Inconclusion, proper es tate planning involves a thor ough review of all assets and beneficiary designations. It is very important that beneficia ry designations be coordinated with an individual’s estate plan.

When I say “the box,” I am referring to the beneficia ry designation box found in many financial instruments. For example, life insurance policies, annuity contracts, IRAs (individual retirement accounts), and other retire ment plans allow the owner to designate (usually in a box or line on the form agreement) who is to be the beneficiary or recipient of the proceeds upon the owner’s death.

There have been many spouses and children very sur prised to learn that although a loved one’s will was reviewed and updated the older benefi ciary designations control.

Nowagreement.thatI have ex plained the question, what is the correct answer? If some one has designated a former spouse as the beneficiary on a life insurance policy or re tirement plan, can a new will designating a new spouse as the beneficiary of all the indi vidual’s assets supercede the earlier designation? In other words, does the designation in the will supercede the desig nation in the box? The answer is "no." In almost all cases, the will does not supercede

It is understandable that many people have this mistaken belief. First, a will has many formalities associated with it.

Another matter to be con sidered with regard to benefi ciary designations is that they are limited. If the beneficiary designation is just a line or box, there is no opportunity to describe how the proceeds should be used or who should receive the proceeds if one of the named beneficiaries pre deceases the owner. It should be noted that if the beneficiary designated in the financial in strument has predeceased the owner and there is no surviv ing contingent beneficiary or if the named beneficiary is designated as the “estate,” the

In addition to the above categories of beneficiary designations, many bank ac counts, investment accounts, stock certificates and CDs (certificates of deposit), allow for a POD (Pay On Death) beneficiary.

We spent a couple of days at Lake Lucerne and up on Mt. Pilatus, where we took a clog car up 7,000’ to the top of the world. At 9,000’ and through the clouds, there was a great view of the Swiss Alps. Oh, my; what a view. We took a side trip to a ski resort for a horse drawn tour around town, and we had a chat with the owner of a big farm. She said that because of the drought, she had twenty tons of plums that were too small to market and was try ing to find out something she could do with her crop. There is a lot of money in Europe. At this ski resort, there are many big Swiss homes that are only used for vacations. They were building a ten story condomin ium, and each floor was going for eight million Swiss francs.

to board the plane, the an nouncements were in French. I asked the giant of a man sitting next to us if he spoke English. He said he did, and he grabbed our luggage and walked us to the front of the line, and we got right on the plane; the man was from Africa. In Amster dam, the announcements were in Dutch, and when we got in line, the people there moved us up about 50 people. Since we were in the airport three hours early, our luggage was the first on and the last off.

SALT LAKE CITYLaw enforcement officers and technicians for the Utah Divi sion of Wildlife Resources and other agencies wound down the summer boating season with a busy Labor Day holiday weekend, working to prevent invasive quagga mussels from spreading to Utah's lakes and reservoirs.

While I waited for our luggage at the SLC airport, I turned around, and there were at least 300 people in line to en ter our country. I thought "oh, no, another two hour wait."

They remove plankton from the water, which hurts fish species in Utah.

Statewide, DWR conser vation officers issued 44 cita tions for violations of Utah laws established to prevent the spread of invasive mussels. The majority of the violations were due to people with a wa tercraft failing to stop at man datory inspection stations and failing to remove a drain plug while transporting the boat.

Our trip couldn’t have been better. Even though we had seen too many of the sights before, there was some thing new every day. We flew nonstop from SLC to London. We left at 9:00 at night, and with seven time changes, we landed in London at 1:00 pm the next afternoon. It was a real smooth flight. From Lon don, we rode the bullet train, and at over 100 mph, we were in The Netherlands in a couple of hours. We toured the canals there and went on into Germa ny, a beautiful country.

Then we headed home. I told you of our fifteen hour flight over there; well, we left Amsterdam at 5:00 pm and ar rived in SLC at 7:30pm. It was really 3:30 in the morning, and we got a motel at the airport and went to sleep.

Of those total numbers from this year, 2,798 of the boat inspections and 44 of the decontaminations took place at stations in the Lake Powell area. Lake Powell is the only Utah waterbody currently in fested with quagga mussels.

Utah's required dry times after boating at Lake Pow ell are seven days in summer, 18 days in fall and spring, or 30 days in winter. However, wakeboard boats are defined as complex boats, which always require a 30-day dry time—re gardless of the time of year— unless they are properly decon taminated.

Europe is suffering from drought as we are. In London, the Thames River is 6’ below their 15’ high retaining wall. When we were in Germany, we went for lunch at an olive farm. The farm has been in the family for five generations, and the home has thirty-nine rooms in it. The owner said that they have 120 acres in ol ive trees. These trees live up to a 1000 years and survive drought years by not produc ing any fruit. Not one olive was to be found in the orchard.

"We have had a short age of staff this year, and our employees work as quickly as they can, but we ask for ev eryone's patience and compli ance in getting the required inspections," Johnson said. "We are doing more with far less staff at Lake Powell this year. If you need a decontam ination, you need to call and schedule one in advance, as our limited staff may not be able to accommodate those without appointments. As mentioned, you can also wait the required dry time before you launch at another water body. Please always clean, drain and dry."

Why quagga mussels are bad

ers that all watercraft leaving Lake Powell require an exit in spection during the inspection station's hours of operation," DWR Aquatic Invasive Spe cies Lt. Bruce Johnson said. "Along with boats, 'watercraft' includes kayaks, canoes, pad dleboards and inflatable rafts. And it's important to remem ber that inspections are not the same as decontaminations. After a watercraft is inspected, it must still be decontaminated before you can launch that watercraft at a different wa terbody. If a decontamination can't be performed, the water craft must wait the required dry time before launching again."

DWR and Partners Inspect Over 14,500 Boats for Quagga Mussels During Labor Day Weekend

Anyone 12 or older who hasn’t been boosted in the last two months—but who did complete their initial coronavirus vaccination se ries—is eligible for the new booster, Rupp said.

Children under the age of 12 are not eligible to re ceive the new bivalent boost er, he said.

The FDA set the mini mum wait time at two months since receiving your last booster dose. Early research also indicates that getting the new bivalent booster within two to three months after your last booster provides only a small amount of protection, Rupp said, and that you stand to get more protection after three months.

If you are unsure about waiting, CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said in a statement that “there is no bad time to get your COVID-19 booster.” If you are eligible, she said, “I strongly encour age you to receive it.”

SALT LAKE CITY - A record-breaking heatwave has left our soils parched and is another reminder to use our water supply more efficiently. Salt Lake City continues to be a hotspot. Currently, Salt Lake City has seen 34 days of 100 degree plus tempera tures, breaking the previous record of “Scorching21. temperatures statewide have taken a toll on our soil moisture this past week,” Candice Hasenyager, director of the Division of Water Resources said. “If this trend continues, it means less water will make its way to our streams and reservoirs during next year’s spring runoff.”

Joining Kirn will be twotime Grammy Award-winning storyteller and musician Bill Harley, who says his weapon of choice is humor and that humor is a weapon for good. Described as “one of the fin est performing storytellers in the nation,” Harley’s work has influenced a generation of children, parents, performing artists, and educators.
