As an Audiologist, I have practiced for 34 years and treated
thousands of patients.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have a hearing
loss myself and wear hearing instruments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In the last few years, the hearing instrument technology has exceeded my
expectations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, in June of this year,
Dr. Lance Greer and I traveled to Florida for an international hearing
conference which focused on the release of a completely new type of hearing
instrument.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This new hearing instrument called the OPN (Open) from
Oticon out of Denmark, was developed by a team of 250 auditory scientists,
auditory engineers, and technicians who worked for over six years to develop
this new technology.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Technological limitations of previous hearing instruments
have led to use of directionality to make speech coming from the front clear,
while suppressing the rest of the sound environment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In complex listening environments where sound
sources are many, previous hearing technology is too slow to keep up with fast
and many sound changes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When you cut out too many background sounds around you, it
is like wearing hearing blinders and too many critical speech sounds cannot be
captured for our brains.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Closing down
too many sounds, under-stimulates the brain and deprives it of the context
needed for understanding words.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The new Velox chip in the OPN (open) hearing instruments
processes 50 times faster than before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is precise and fast enough to support our brain in making sense of
sound and words.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This chip has 64 sound
channels.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It analyzes the sounds around
you more than 100 times per second.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
can handle more than 12 million operations per second.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
These new hearing instruments provide 30 percent improvement
in speech understanding—even in the most noisy environments—compared to the
previous state-of-the-art technology.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
provides 20 percent less listening effort in noise and provides 20 percent more
capacity to remember.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We have fit these instruments of numerous patients and
everyone has been overwhelmed with their ability to understand in the most
noisy situations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These instruments are
truly in a league of their own!!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This amazing technology is fit on a 60 day trial
period.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Call 688-8866 to wear these
instruments home and experience hearing like you have never experienced
before!!! http://hearingaiddoctor.com/</div>

The St. George Exchange Club sponsors the Student of the Month Program, which honors one student from the area high schools each month. This program recognizes the students’ accomplishments in academics, service and leadership in their respective schools. Dixie State University has partnered with the St. George Exchange Club and will provide a one-year, full-tuition scholarship to the Student of the Year from each high school at the end of the school year as selected by the St. George Exchange Club’s Student of the Month Committee. This selection process is based upon the Student of the Year applications received from the students recognized throughout the year as their school’s Student of the Month. The Exchange Club is honored to work with Dixie State University in recognizing and supporting the outstanding high school students of our community. <br /><br />In addition, two students from the area high schools who have been honored as Student of the Year will have the opportunity to go on to the Rocky Mountain Exchange Club District competition where they could win a $1,000 scholarship; and then if they win district, they can go on to national competition and win a $10,000 scholarship. The 2013 Student of the Year, EmRee Moody from St. George, was selected as the National Student of the Month and received a $10,000 scholarship from the National Exchange Club.<br /><br />The St. George Exchange Club meets Thursday mornings at 7:30AM at George’s in Ancestor Square. For more information about the St. George Exchange Club contact Dustin Schofield at 435-674-3601. Congratulations to the St George Exchange Club 2016 September and October Students of the Month!<br />

<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>When someone becomes incapacitated or passes away, you may
find yourself in charge of administering a trust, or the decedent’s
estate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You may have been nominated as
successor trustee through a Trust, the personal representative (executor)
through a Will, or the court may have appointed you to administer the estate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here are a few important things to remember:</div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Personal Representative:</b> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As the personal representative of an estate,
you will be responsible to collect the property owned by the decedent, notify
creditors and heirs or devisees, pay debts and taxes, finalize the decedent’s
business affairs, file all documents required by the court and governmental
agencies, transfer decedent’s property, and close the estate or probate when
everything is complete.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="background: white; color: black;">Once
the court has appointed you as the Personal Representative, you can act on your
own without the approval of the court; however, you will need to keep the court
informed of progress by filing all required documents. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If an interested person thinks you are not doing
a good job, that person can petition the court to remove you as the Personal
Representative or ask the court to supervise your administration of the estate.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Supervised administration involves the
highest level of court oversight and is usually granted only when there are
serious</span><span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "arial";"> </span><span style="background: white; color: black;">concerns about your actions as Personal

the Trustee of a Trust, you must keep trust assets separate from your own
personal assets, treat beneficiaries equally unless the trust directs
otherwise, keep accurate records, file tax returns, and report to beneficiaries
as required by the trust and the law. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You must know the terms of the trust, where
assets are held, and when distributions can be made. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Trust assets should be invested in a prudent manner
that will effect reasonable growth with minimum risk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is important to remember the assets of the
Trust are not your assets and you cannot use trust assets for your own benefit
unless the trust authorizes you to do so.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<span style="background: white; color: black;">If
you are the Trustee due to the Grantor (or Trustor’s) incapacity, you must also
make sure the Grantor is provided for, understand insurance benefits and
limitations, apply for disability benefits, notify banks and other financial
institutions or advisors, pay bills, and keep accurate records and

October 17, 2016<br /><br />Orem, UT -- Kevin Simister, trusted advisor, leader, mentor, and friend, is retiring from Hawkins Advisors after 42 tax seasons. Kevin plans to travel, spend time with family, not work on April 15, and perfect his woodworking skills (which are already pretty much perfect!).<br /><br />Kevin joined Hawkins in 1975. He practiced in all areas of the firm including audit, accounting, and tax. His expertise and focus for many years has been helping clients in business entity structuring, estate planning, tax reduction strategies, compensation agreements, negotiations, expert witness, and valuations. He served as the managing partner for 10 years. His leadership was instrumental in the growth of the firm during a time period of significant change. Kevin was responsible for bringing desktop computers into the office, our first network, first website, and coined MyCPA.com. He was instrumental in creating our Retirement Department. Kevin has been a developer of people. During his time at Hawkins, we have grown from 10 to more than 75 employees. He has trained and mentored staff and clients, teaching them how to become trusted advisors, successful business people, and leaders in their business and community. He believes a leader must have genuine affection for each member of the team.<br /><br />Kevin has always enjoyed serving and helping people. As Captain of an Emergency Medical Team for Pleasant Grove City, he responded to over 1,500 medical emergencies during his 12 years of volunteer service. He has served in many professional advisory board positions including the President of the Utah Association of Certified Public Accountants(UACPA), Executive Board of the Provo Orem Chamber of Commerce, Governing Council of the American Institute of Public Accountants, Chaired the Utah Valley University Business Faculty Development Committee, and the Executive Board of the Purpose Investors Network. He was recognized by the UACPA as the Outstanding CPA in Public Accounting in 2007. <br /><br />During Kevin’s years of practice he has been a truly exceptional and respected advisor. He has served his clients as a trusted advisor. He protects them from unpleasant surprises through planning and implementation. Kevin will say he doesn’t work with any businesses, just the people in the business. His success has been through serving the people that are involved in the business and keeping it personal. His secret sauce is his understanding and knowing the client, beyond the finances. He can tell you the client’s family members, special medical or education needs, talents, and what they like to do for fun. He will say he doesn’t have clients, but he sure has a lot of friends he works with.<br /><br />We wish our friend, mentor, colleague, and soon to be retired partner many years of health and happiness in his retirement. <br /><br />About Hawkins<br /><br />Hawkins mission is to create the most client-centric accounting practice in the world and make outsourced accounting feel like an in-house function through integrity, service, knowledge, balance and showing appreciation for clients and associates.<br /><br />For media inquiries, please contact:<br /><br />Tammy Gnieting, Office Manager 801.224.1900 TammyG@mycpa.comBrian Tenneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13083546777334345955noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8615556685078286791.post-40779784175458135062016-10-10T13:54:00.000-07:002016-10-10T13:54:32.471-07:00Cochlear Implant: When Hearing Aids Are No Longer Enough

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
As Doctors of Audiology we are
always looking for ways to improve quality of life through better hearing;
which may include: hearing instruments, implantable devices, and long term care
and follow up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While hearing instruments
are the solution to treat most types of hearing loss, implantable devices such
as cochlear implants may be an option for those patients who continue to struggle
understanding conversations with traditional amplification. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A cochlear implant is one type of an
implantable device that replaces the function of the inner ear in order to
provide sound signals to the brain. A person has a hearing test and hearing aid
trial in order to determine candidacy for the cochlear implant. Many people
with cochlear implants may report that they can focus better in noisy
environments and hear sounds that they could not hear with their hearing aids.
The cochlear implant is designed to help you hear better in all settings.
Benefits of a cochlear implant vary from person to person. These differences of
benefits are often due to: duration and severity of hearing loss, other medical
conditions, and practice of listening with the cochlear implant. If you feel
that you are still missing sounds even with your hearing instruments, then a
cochlear implant may be a solution for you. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
If you are interested in learning
more about the cochlear implant, please join us for our Hearing Health Seminar
to learn if a cochlear implant is right for you. The seminar will be held
Thursday, November 3, 2016 at 5:00-7:00 pm at the Hilton Garden Inn located at
1731 S. Convention Center Drive, St. George, UT 84790. You may register for the
seminar at HearingHealthSeminar.com or by calling 1-877-432-7844. We look
forward to seeing you at the seminar. </div>

Mickey Rooney, who earned
tens of millions of dollars during his life, was reported to have only
$18,000.00 when he passed away in 2014.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Mr. Rooney appeared before the Senate Special Aging Committee in 2011
and testified he had been a victim of elder-abuse by his wife and stepchildren,
stripped “of the ability to make even the most basic decisions about my life.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This process began after Mr. Rooney confided
to a Disney executive about the abuse while filming<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The
Muppets, </i>which prompted his attorneys to file a Petition for a Conservator
to protect him and recover his assets.
<br />
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Undue influence is the
exploitation of an individual often due to the individual’s age, health, failing
mental capacity, or the overall tendency to trust others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While the elderly are especially susceptible,
anyone is vulnerable to undue influence, including the ill, stressed, lonely or
frightened of any age.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It can come in many forms: family, neighbors,
paid personal aides, church members, and many others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Sometimes people who
exercise undue influence start off as a caretaker, who genuinely seems to care
for the individual.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">As time progresses, however, they are
able to convince the person no one else cares for them, resulting in the
individual becoming totally dependent on the caretaker.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span>As in the example with Mickey Rooney,
his wife and stepchildren drained his estate of millions of dollars during his
lifetime.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am aware of a case in which
a younger, attractive caregiver convinced her elderly patient she cared for him
emotionally, and then convinced him to add her to his deed for his personal
residence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She also received numerous financial
gifts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately, the money was much
more important to her than caring for the individual she was hired to help.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She moved on once the money was <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>gone, leaving the elderly individual and the family
to try and pick up the pieces.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
So what can you do?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An elderly person’s family, friends and
neighbors should make efforts to insure the person is receiving good nutrition,
help them stay socially involved, and be observant for signs someone is
attempting to control that person for their own gain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you suspect an elderly person is a victim
of undue influence, put all details of the transaction, including names, dates
and facts in writing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can contact
Adult Protective Services in your area which will begin an investigation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This may prevent the elderly person from
losing any more money and help him regain his dignity.</div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">A proactive approach in this
situation is to meet with a qualified estate planning attorney to guide the
individual through the estate planning process which may help avoid some of the
pitfalls of undue influence that can arise from caregivers, friends, family and
others.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
The Mickey Rooney matter
continues.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His estate was awarded
millions from the stepfamily but whether that will be collected remains to be
seen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

Who Will Take Care of My Remains
When I Die?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifzqBvcsp-v3ShcbB_RpHruU2oT8HG7dC07Afva1IF2fOnhyphenhypheniLSkm7TLFSR8-RR3ngIE1nB9S0McogfNKEWGxlaCzCnb73qCwb5HItpciCoulOehiNTEiaIL60N1OCbBdskErCQ1ZXQTU/s1600/JensenBayles_Logo_DR.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="58" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifzqBvcsp-v3ShcbB_RpHruU2oT8HG7dC07Afva1IF2fOnhyphenhypheniLSkm7TLFSR8-RR3ngIE1nB9S0McogfNKEWGxlaCzCnb73qCwb5HItpciCoulOehiNTEiaIL60N1OCbBdskErCQ1ZXQTU/s320/JensenBayles_Logo_DR.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>It
is a well-established fact that none of us will not get out of this life
alive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many of our clients wonder, “Who
will take care of my remains when I die?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Some clients want to be buried in a specific cemetery, some want to be
cremated and have creative ideas about the disposition of their ashes. We have
clients who want to donate their body to medical research while others do not
want to make a decision and trust the family will do “what is right.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
If you have an
option about disposition of your remains, i.e., cremation, specific funeral
service or even a certain mortuary, it is important you provide written
directions regarding the disposition of your body.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This can be included in your Last Will and Testament
or another written directive acknowledged before a Notary Public or executed in
the same manner required by a Will.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
If you specify
your funeral wishes in your Will, you can change your mind without revoking or changing
your Will.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You must provide specific
written notice to your Personal Representative and to the mortuary, if you
previously specified a particular mortuary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This notice must be acknowledged as mentioned above. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
Sadly, there are
cases in which a decedent’s wishes were not honored by the family and costly
litigation ensued.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In one case, a parent
buried a child knowing the child had written a request to be cremated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The child’s estranged spouse later tried to disinter
the remains for cremation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The courts
became involved and the grief related to the loss of a loved one was compounded
by the time and cost of the litigation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Ultimately, the court determined the estranged spouse agreed to the
burial which negated her ability to later argue the decedent’s wishes were to
be cremated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
Another case
involved Gary Coleman from the TV program “Diff’rent Strokes” who died in
Provo, Utah in 2010.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mr. Coleman’s
ex-wife and his parents both claimed the right to make funeral plans, and were
in the process of doing so, when his manager Dion Mial was able to provide
written documentation which directed Mr. Mial to oversee the Coleman estate and
funeral arrangements.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In that case, the
parents stopped their efforts after they reviewed the estate planning documents
and determined they would honor their son’s wishes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
If you do not
specify your wishes in writing, Utah law provides that the surviving spouse
will have the authority to determine your disposition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If there is no surviving spouse, Utah law
provides a list of alternates and a method of priority.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By outlining your wishes with a written
directive, the family will be able to honor you without additional stress. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
Have
you ever suffered extreme mental fatigue? Perhaps you felt this way after
finishing an important examination or task that required intense concentration.
It’s like running a marathon in your head—and when you’re finished, you just
want to collapse. </div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
A
comparable experience develops in those with hearing loss, and it’s referred to
as listening fatigue. Those with hearing loss pick up only partial or
incomplete sounds, which they then have to make sense out of. With respect to
understanding speech, it’s like playing a constant game of crosswords. Those
with hearing loss are presented with context and a few sounds and letters, but
in many cases they then have to fill in the blanks to decipher what’s being
said. Language comprehension, which is supposed to be natural, turns into a
problem-solving workout demanding deep concentration.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
For
example: Wh t wou d ou l ke n t e me u?</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
You
most likely realized that the haphazard assortment of letters above spells
“What would you like on the menu?” But you also likely had to stop and
contemplate it, filling in the blanks. Just imagine having to read this entire
article this way and you’ll have an appreciation for the listening demands
placed on those with hearing loss.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
Appropriately
fit hearing instruments – hearing instruments help to “fill in the blanks,”
thus avoiding or reducing listening fatigue. Hearing aids help us reduce the
amount of energy we spend listening and communicating by making it easier to
hear sounds and speech in a variety of environments. Because the hearing aid
helps to restore the sounds that are missed with hearing loss, the brain uses
less energy understanding it. Modern day hearing aids now come with features
that help reduce listening fatigue by isolating and amplifying the sounds you
want to hear and significantly reducing or removing the noises you don’t.</div>

<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Utah just adopted the Uniform Power of Attorney Act which
went into effect May 10, 2016.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are
some provisions in the new law that you should know about. </div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>A Durable Power of Attorney allows the principal to authorize
another person (your agent) to make financial decisions the principal specifies
in the document. It is important to name an agent or agents you can trust to
act in your best interest because of the significant authority typically
granted in a power of attorney.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: .5in;">
The
statutory power of attorney is automatically durable which means it becomes
effective at signing and remains effective at your incapacity. You can elect to
make the statutory power of attorney so it is only effective on your
incapacity, but you must draft the provision into the statutory form.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: .5in;">
The authority
that can be granted in the statutory power of attorney can be very broad
depending upon the principal’s selections in the document.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Generally, your agent can make all decisions
related to real property, personal and tangible property, stocks or bonds,
commodities and options, banks and financial institutions, insurance and
annuities, retirement plans, claims and litigation, and estates and trusts or
other beneficial interests. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your agent
has the authority to<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>buy, sell, invest, and
enter into or terminate contracts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Again, this authority becomes effective
immediately even if you are able to make decisions for yourself unless you
state otherwise in the Special Instructions. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: .5in;">
There is
a section in the new statutory power of attorney that presents a pitfall for
the unsuspecting principal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
authority that can be granted in this section includes the authority for the
agent to amend trusts, change beneficiary designations, create joint tenancies
and make gifts, among other “superpowers”. In the course of our work we find
that less than 3% of our clients want or need to grant one of the “superpowers”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You must be careful to only select powers you
wish to grant and be very careful when it comes to the “superpowers” because
they likely grant more authority than you intend.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: .5in;">
Typically,
a person signing a new power of attorney will want to revoke prior financial
powers of attorney.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The new statutory
power of attorney does not automatically revoke prior powers of attorney so you
must draft language in the document if you wish to terminate the authority of
agents in prior powers of attorney.</div>

<br />ST. GEORGE, UTAH (June 13, 2016) — The St. George Exchange Club is part of a national service-based organization with a mission that includes child abuse prevention. In support of this important cause the local club recently partnered with Intermountain Healthcare and the Washington County School District to produce Child Abuse Prevention (CAP) Resource Cards. The CAP Cards include contact info for schools, emergency services, and community human services ranging from recreation to victim’s advocacy. These will be distributed to local school children in the fall through the school district, as well as through local agencies and Intermountain Healthcare affiliated offices. <br /><br />“We’ve received tremendous feedback about the popularity of these cards among parents and families,” said Neal Smith, Exchange Club Member who has been involved in providing the cards for nearly a decade. “However, producing them costs money, and we’ve not had an update for several years.”<br /><br />He credited Intermountain Healthcare with local guidance from Community Benefit at Dixie Regional Medical Center in receiving $4,000 from the Community Partner Fund as well as the cooperation of the Washington County School District to distribute the updated cards at the beginning of the school year. Brian Tenney, Exchange Club Member, also provided the design of the cards. “We’re excited to get them into people’s hands and hanging on their fridges and making them useful to the community,” Smith said.<br /><br />He added that the cards originally were created by a committee chaired by the late Annie Ashcraft with the Department of Child Protective Services who championed the cause and got the project off the ground. The intent of the CAP cards are to provide families with access to services and make them aware of resources that could alleviate family stress and the incidence of child abuse.<br /><br />“I appreciate that we get to carry on this great project and make a difference in the lives of our friends and neighbors,” said Smith. “I’m grateful for a community who knows how to pull together and protect our most valuable assets.”<br /><br />####<br /><br />About the St. George Exchange Club<br />The St. George Exchange Club has actively served Southern Utah for over 40 years with members who are local business owners, community leaders and volunteer citizens. Complementing the club is the St. George Exchange Club Foundation. Each year, club members are elected to preside over the Foundation Board, which is currently led by Jinks Dabney. The St. George Exchange Club Foundation is a registered 501(c) 3 and manages all funds donated or raised by the club. Funds raised are returned to the community through various programs the St. George Exchange Club sponsors. In addition to the Southern Utah Performing Arts Festival (SUPAF), the St. George Exchange Club also sponsors and hosts the St. George Mayor’s Walk, Iron Kids Fun Run, Student of the Month Recognition, Freedom Shrine installations and dedications, the Give Me Liberty program which serves area 5th graders, and Give a Kid a Flag to Wave at the annual Veterans Day Parade in Washington City. The St. George Exchange Club, in cooperation with Dixie State University, also awards each area high school’s top graduating senior with First Year Tuition Grants. In 2015 the club contributed over $100,000 to help the City of St. George build the All Abilities Park, which is slated for dedication spring 2016.<br /><br />Contact Info<br />James McFadden<br />Exchange Club of St. George President<br />435-632-7978<br />james@requisitemarketing.com<br /><br />Mindy Suttner<br />Public Relations Committee Chairman<br />435-256-5550<br />msuttner@dxatc.edu<br />

<div style="background: white;">
Many people have a misconception about estate
planning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For example, many will avoid doing
their estate planning because they believe their assets “aren’t worth much” and
think estate planning would be a waste of time and money.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The reality is that estate planning is
necessary for everyone -- no matter the value of their assets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Completing your estate planning now with a
qualified estate planning attorney to clearly define your intentions is an
investment that can save your family financial and emotional heartache in the
future.</div>
<div style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white;">
While you might want to live forever, there is a
strong likelihood that you will not make it out of this life alive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Estate planning allows you to clarify what
will happen with your assets once you pass away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As you think about your estate planning there
are a few things to consider: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>1) Beneficiaries,
i.e., spouse, children, other close family members and friends, or charities; 2)
Property, such as real property, personal property, as well as financial
accounts and investments; and 3) Distribution of the properties to the
beneficiaries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white;">
The next step is to make your plan to determine who
will get what. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This may be simple or
complex depending upon your distribution goals and your individual
situation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This should take some careful
planning. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is crucial you are clear how
your assets will be distributed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Having
an estate plan may help avoid family disputes after your death. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When your estate plan clearly communicates
your intent, arguments are less likely to occur. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Without clearly defining what you want through
your will or trust, the court may decide who receives your assets, which means your
final wishes may not be taken into consideration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A poorly written will or trust can invite challenges
from beneficiaries who may question validity, distribution or other concerns as
well as unnecessary taxes and fees.</div>
<div style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">A qualified estate planning
attorney can help guide you through the estate planning process and avoid the
pitfalls of taxes, ambiguous language and directions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whether you want to divide your estate equally
between beneficiaries or leave a little something extra to someone special, your
estate planning attorney can craft documents allowing you to be as creative as
you wish -- while adhering to the basics of what is required and making sure you
are clear in your directions. The last thing you want to leave is a legacy of strife

St. George, Utah, April 2016 - Members of the St. George Exchange Club presented an $8,000 donation to the City of St. George at last week's St. George City Council Meeting in support of the All Abilities Park - Hands That Built the Park project. In addition to this $8,000 contribution, members of the St. George Exchange Club are extending a challenge to other area service clubs, businesses and philanthropists to participate with them. Exchange Club members will match up to $15,000 to help sponsor area children so they can participate in this great project.<br /><br />Hands That Built the Park is a project created by the City of St. George. It consists of a mosaic wall that weaves throughout the park, embedded with the hand prints of children fired into a hardened tile. Each hand print will have the name of the child carved into the tile. James McFadden, current St. George Exchange Club president, has been working with special needs children at Fossil Ridge Elementary as well as with children at Riverside Preschool, casting hand prints to embed into the mosaic wall. The Exchange Club is sponsoring up to 1000 children so they can have their hand prints permanently cast into the wall. Matching funds are being requested so that as many area children as possible can have their hand prints cast into the wall as well.<br /><br />“Many families with special needs children are not in a position to cover the costs associated with this project,” McFadden stated. “Nothing would be more exciting than to see every child who would like to participate have this opportunity. In order to reach this goal, we are prepared to match dollar-for-dollar contributions up to $15,000 which are made by any area service club, business or local citizen who would like to see as many children participate as possible.” When the All Abilities Park opens later this year, admission will be free to enter the park.<br />

<br />The check presented by the Exchange Club at last week's City Council meeting matches the donation made last month by the Dixie Elks Lodge #1743. <br /><br />About the St. George Exchange Club<br />The St. George Exchange Club has actively served Southern Utah for over 40 years with members who are local business owners, community leaders and volunteer citizens. Complementing the club is the St. George Exchange Club Foundation. Each year, club members are elected to preside over the Foundation Board, which is currently led by Jinks Dabney. The St. George Exchange Club Foundation is a registered 501(c) 3 and manages all funds donated or raised by the club. Funds raised are returned to the community through various programs the St. George Exchange Club sponsors. In addition to the Southern Utah Performing Arts Festival (SUPAF), the St. George Exchange Club also sponsors and hosts the St. George Mayor’s Walk, Iron Kids Fun Run, Student of the Month Recognition, Freedom Shrine installations and dedications, the Give Me Liberty program which serves area 5th graders, and Give a Kid a Flag to Wave at the annual Veterans Day Parade in Washington City. The St. George Exchange Club, in cooperation with Dixie State University, also awards each area high school’s top graduating senior with First Year Tuition Grants. In 2015 the club contributed over $100,000 to help the City of St. George build the All Abilities Park, which is slated for dedication spring 2016.<br /><br />Contact Info<br />James McFadden<br />Exchange Club of St. George President<br />435-632-7978<br />james@requisitemarketing.com<br /><br />Mindy Suttner<br />Public Relations Committee Chairman<br />435-256-5550<br />msuttner@dxatc.edu<br />

are many underlying concerns that can be a white elephant in the room during

from a previous marriage may feel threatened their perceived “inheritance” will
go to the new spouse or the new spouse’s children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In addition, your partner’s asset-to-debt ratio
may not be favorable, and your children’s concern may be your assets will be

</span>You may both own homes and need to decide in which home you will
reside.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There will be questions about

One way to keep your premarital assets and debts clearly
separate is by entering into a Prenuptial Agreement before marriage. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Prenuptial Agreements, like any contract, must
be clearly written.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They must be voluntarily
signed by both parties, and provide a reasonable disclosure of the property or
financial obligations of both parties.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="background: white; color: black;">Without a prenuptial
agreement, a surviving spouse may have the right to claim a large portion of
the other spouse's property, leaving less for the surviving children which will
likely be <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>less than you originally
intended. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span>Litigation related to Prenuptial
Agreements almost always centers on whether the terms of the agreement are
clear, the agreement was signed voluntarily, and if the disclosure was reasonable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For this reason, we recommend both parties
retain their own attorney to review the Premarital Agreement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

St. George, UT, April 25, 2016 — The April Student of the Month recipients were recently honored by the St. George Exchange Club. The St. George Exchange Club sponsors the Student of the Month Program, which honors one student from the area high schools each month. This program recognizes the students’ accomplishments in academics, service and leadership in their respective schools. Dixie State University has partnered with the St. George Exchange Club and will provide a one-year, full-tuition scholarship to the Student of the Year from each high school at the end of the school year as selected by the St. George Exchange Club’s Student of the Month Committee. This selection process is based upon the Student of the Year applications received from the students recognized throughout the year as their school’s Student of the Month. The Exchange Club is honored to work with Dixie State University in recognizing and supporting the outstanding high school students of our community. <br /><br />In addition, two students from the area high schools who have been honored as Student of the Year will have the opportunity to go on to the Rocky Mountain Exchange Club District competition where they could win a $1,000 scholarship; and then if they win district, they can go on to national competition and win a $10,000 scholarship. The 2013 Student of the Year, EmRee Moody from St. George, was selected as the National Student of the Month and received a $10,000 scholarship from the National Exchange Club.<br /><br />The St. George Exchange Club meets Thursday mornings at 7:30AM at George’s in Ancestor Square.

According to
a USA Today article recently published, the typical American coffee drinker
spends $3.01 per day on coffee, loses $1.10 per day on gambling and spends
approximately 1% of their annual household expenses on alcohol.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So you may ask yourself what this has to do
with better hearing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
In the
United States, there are approximately 35 Million people with hearing loss of
some degree.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Studies show that only
about 22% of those with hearing loss actually seek help and treatment
options.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The reasons that the 78% do not
purchase better hearing are due to a variety of reasons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some of those include; stigma of hearing
instruments, the feeling that one is getting old, inconvenience and the
perception that they are just too costly.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
The later
objection is the issue I wish to discuss.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Many who do not purchase hearing instruments and even some of those that
may purchase hearing instruments, do not realize the actual costs to deliver a
high quality product as well as exceptional service.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Additional value added costs, which are often
overlooked, are some of the services that are the most important for a
successful, long term fitting experience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>These include:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<u>3 year
unlimited repair warranty</u> - The manufacturer will repair unlimitedly your
device if it ceases to function. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<u>3 year
loss/damage replacement coverage</u> - The manufacturer will replace your lost
or damaged hearing instrument one time during coverage period.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A deductible will apply.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<u>Unlimited
access to a Doctor of Audiology</u> - You will be able to make an appointment
with one of our Doctor's of Audiology at anytime during the in-house service
period for no additional cost.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<u>Free
Battery Plan</u> - With each purchase you are entitled to batteries at no
additional cost for the length of the in-house treatment plan.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<u>Walk-in
repair lab</u> - You have access to our walk-in lab where our technicians will
see you on a walk-in basis and will have you out the door generally in less
than 15 minutes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<u>Electro-acoustical
analysis of hearing technology</u> - We can evaluate the real time performance
of your hearing devices with a machine that the manufacturer uses.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
These are a
few of the services that come with each and every purchase, which you will not
get when you purchase hearing instruments over the internet or typically
through big box retail centers. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These
services are vital for the long-term success of any hearing instrument wearer.
So the real cost to you for better hearing and superior support for a long-term
successful hearing usually costs between $0.68 - $3.19 per day, which is about
what you would spend on coffee or diet Coke each day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">We invite you to make an appointment with one
of our Doctor's of Audiology today for a FREE, No obligation, hearing treatment
consultation by calling 435-215-1402. Advanced Hearing is located at at <b>Coral

When a
crucial part of your inner ear isn’t working properly, you may need more than a
hearing aid, especially if you have a severe to profound sensorineural hearing
loss in both ears. Many people suffer with hearing loss because their hair
cells in the inner ear (or cochlea) are damaged. This type of hearing loss can
make speech much more difficult to understand, especially in noisy situations.
In many cases, you may have trouble hearing sounds, such as children’s voices,
your spouse and sounds of nature.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
Hearing
aids are wonderful devices that bring clarity and understanding to those with
hearing loss, but they have their limitations with some types of
severe-to-profound hearing loss. A cochlear implant becomes a solution when
hearing aids are no longer an appropriate option. A cochlear implant is
designed to not only make sounds louder, but also clearer. The cochlear implant
enables the sound to be transferred to your hearing nerves and enables you to
hear. This is why a cochlear implant can really seem like a hearing miracle.
And, most importantly, cochlear implants help to bring back the sounds you’re
missing. With cochlear implants, you may once again enjoy conversations with
friends and family, talk on the phone, hear the sounds of nature or see your
child’s face light up as they hear your voice for the very first time. Please
note that cochlear implants are often covered by most insurance plans.</div>

and opinions of the global travel community, and is <b>the highest honor </b>given
by TripAdvisor. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Inn on the Cliff is an exciting new experience in hotel
accommodations in southern Utah. With a view you won't want to leave your room
for, the new Inn on The Cliff Hotel offers a 24-hour,
breathtaking panorama of some of the regions most picturesque tourist
attractions. Built uniquely on a cliff’s-edge, within view are the colorful
sandstone formations of Snow Canyon, the snow-capped peaks of Pine Mountain,
and the crown, distant horizon of Zion's Canyon. Having spent more than 30
years in building construction, Tom Heers knows something about how to create
quality, comfortable living conditions. When he and his wife Dorothy decided to
go venture into the hotel industry, she made room for two things she loves most: creative
expression and cause for celebration. A recent online article from Trivago.com
named Inn on the Cliff as one of the “must add to your bucket list” of hotels
to stay at during your travels. Tom and Dorothy are parents to five children
and 16 grandchildren.</span></div>

St. George, Utah, January 2016 — The November Students of the Month recipients were recently honored by the St. George Exchange Club.

St. George, Utah, February 2016 — Approximately 5000 local student singers, dancers, and musicians are poised to participate in the 27th annual Southern Utah Performing Arts Festival, which will commence Tuesday, February 9th and continue throughout the next eight weeks, according to Brett Labrum, program committee chairman.<br /><br />The Southern Utah Performing Arts Festival, or SUPAF, is the creation of the St. George Exchange Club, a local service organization. Since its inception, the Exchange Club has organized, produced, and hosted the Festival, providing a forum for talented artists from all over Southern Utah to perform before professional adjudicators who critique and mentor them. Participants in each category vie for Superior ratings as well as top honors. Adjudicators select performers for first, second and third place who will be recognized at the awards ceremony in April. Some of the top participants will be invited to perform at the ceremony which makes this year’s location, Tuacahn “especially exciting”, stated James McFadden, current president of the St. George Exchange Club. <br /><br />“We are pleased and excited to announce that Tuacahn Center for the Arts Amphitheater in Ivins is the location for this year’s Awards Ceremony and winning performances”, McFadden continued. “It’s a distinct honor and privilege. We sincerely hope to make Tuacahn an integral part of this amazing Festival for years to come. The generosity and support that Tuacahn and its managers have extended to our club is unprecedented and we can’t wait to watch our students perform on their stage!”<br /><br />Dixie State University has been a great supporter of SUPAF for several years, hosting the most popular event, piano, and providing oversight as well as personnel. However, this year, the School of Visual and Performing Arts has decided to make DSU a title sponsor of the event. “With the backing of Dixie State University,” said Labrum, “our already wonderful event will just get better and better.” <br /><br />Performances will be held at two new locations this year, the Electric Theatre (vocal) and Hurricane High School (choir). Other events are slated for Dixie State University (piano), Dixie High School (strings & orchestra), Snow Canyon High School (dance), & Pine View High School (brass, woodwind & percussion). A complete schedule of events, performance times, and locations can be found at http://supaf.org. <br /><br />Additional sponsors for this year’s Festival include State Bank of Southern Utah, Boulevard Home Furniture, The Shonie Insurance Group, TCS Advertising and Main Street Insurance, to name a few. <br /><br />If you would like more information on ways you can sponsor, support or volunteer at this year’s festival, you can visit the SUPAF website at http://supaf.org.<br /><br />About the St. George Exchange Club<br /><br />The St. George Exchange Club has actively served Southern Utah for over 40 years with members who are local business owners, community leaders and volunteer citizens. Complementing the club is the St. George Exchange Club Foundation. Each year, club members are elected to preside over the Foundation Board, which is currently led by Jinks Dabney. The St. George Exchange Club Foundation is a registered 501(c) 3 and manages all funds donated or raised by the club. Funds raised are returned to the community through various programs the St. George Exchange Club sponsors. In addition to SUPAF, The St. George Exchange Club also sponsors and hosts "The St. George Mayors Walk", "Iron Kids Fun Run", "Student of the Month Recognition", "Freedom Shrine installations and dedications", the "Give Me Liberty" program, serving area 5th graders, and "Give a Kid a Flag to Wave" at the annual Veterans Day Parade in Washington City. The St. George Exchange Club, in cooperation with Dixie State University, also awards each area high school’s top graduating senior with First Year Tuition Grants and in 2015 the club contributed over $100,000 to help the City of St. George build the "All Abilities Park" which is slated for dedication this coming spring.<br /><br />Contact Info<br /><br />James McFadden<br /><br /><br />Exchange Club of St. George President<br /><br />435-632-7978<br /><br />james@requisitemarketing.com<br /><br />Brett Labrum<br /><br />SUPAF Committee Chairman<br /><br />435-674-2221<br /><br />brett@msiagency.com<br /><br />Mindy Suttner<br /><br />Public Relations Committee Chairman<br /><br />435-256-5550<br /><br />Brian Tenneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13083546777334345955noreply@blogger.com0
