Rita is a special oneHer man treats her like a queenHe buys for her the nicest giftsThe best you’ve ever seen.

He entices her with lavish thingsThat’s where we will begin itWhat he will do for Rita,There just isn’t any limit.

Well, he’d bend over backwardsThis is the gal he lovesOn her hand, he found a callous…You’ve got it, leather gloves. Her man had some cows to moveRita helps of courseHe spoiled that lady rottenHe got her a horse.

Her man is amazingHe heeds to her desiresIt was a Merry ChristmasShe has wrenches now and pliers…..

That’s not all, said one reportNo longer will she lackThere’s irrigation boots,Two styles in green and black.

The love he has inside of him,He will gladly show herIt was just a year ago,She got a riding mower.

They have outfits made to matchA happy gal, it made herShe found it in the fieldHe bought her a baler.

She adorns a lovely smileNow it’s fully understoodHer disposition’s sunnyBecause, dang,….. he treats her good.

DURABLE POWERS OF ATTORNEY

Durable powers of attorney are very useful tools when planning for the possibility of physical or mental incapacity. Durable powers of attorney allow for the management of one’s financial affairs or the making of medical decisions in spite of an incapacity.

In order to understand a durable power of attorney, it is necessary to first understand powers of attorney in general. A power of attorney is used to give one person the right to act on another person’s behalf. The person who grants the power of attorney is called the “principal.” The individual who is given the power is called the “attorney-in-fact.” There are two types of powers of attorney, special and general.

A special power of attorney gives the attorney-in-fact the right to act for the principal in connection with a specific transaction or for some other limited purpose. For example, you could use a properly drafted special power of attorney to give, say, your Florida lawyer the right to handle a real estate closing in Florida while you remain in New York. A general power of attorney is much broader. A general power of attorney grants the attorney-in-fact the ability to do for you almost anything you could do for yourself. Effectively, a general power of attorney creates a legal clone. Because of the broad powers granted by a general power of attorney, they should be used very carefully.

Traditionally, powers of attorney expired under three circumstances; when revoked by the principal, when the principal died, and when the principal became incapacitated. A durable power of attorney is durable because it does not expire if the principal becomes incapacitated. It is this durability that makes it such a useful tool.

A variation of the durable power of attorney is the “durable power of attorney for health care” (sometimes called a “health care proxy” or designation of “health care surrogate”). With this type of power of attorney the principal designates another to make health care decisions in the event of the principal’s incapacity. This type of durable power of attorney is broader in scope than a living will. Generally, a living will is used to place limits on heroic medical treatment in the event of a life threatening illness. Be careful, state laws vary in this area.

Durable powers of attorney are helpful estate planning tools and are appropriate for many situations. However, they should generally be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, a living trust. As always, check with your attorney for your particular situation for the best recommendations.

Bear Bells

In Alaska’s Tongass National Forest, a tour guide was giving a talk to a group of tourists about hiking in grizzly bear territory: “Most bear encounters occur when hikers, being extra quiet along the trails in hopes of view wildlife, accidentally stumble into bears. The resulting surprise can be catastrophic.”

To avoid this, he suggested that each hiker wear tiny bells on their clothing to warn the bears of their presence. “Also,” he said further, “be especially cautious when you see signs of bears in the area, especially when you see bear droppings.”

One tourist asked, “How do you identify bear droppings?”

“Oh that’s easy,” the guide explained. “They’re the ones with all the tiny bells in them!”

Ramblings of a Conservative Cow Doctor

by Krayton Kerns, DVM, State Rep. HD 58

We hope you enjoy reading this neWest feature in Tricia’s Trader. you may agree, you may disagree

With dr. Kerns’ ramblings, but you Will alWays have something

to discuss over dinner.

Quit Feeding the Dog All too recently, clients will plop a morbidly obese dog onto my exam table with the chief complaint, “He won’t eat.” I have been dying to respond, “he’s probably full,” but I’m too chicken to state the obvious. It appears America’s obesity epidemic has crossed species lines and since I have yet to see a dog with enough talent, intelligence or dexterity to run a can opener, humans must be the causative agent of this canine healthcare crisis. (I love using that phrase; it makes me feel so progressive.) Here is how this happens. People are programmed to seek pleasure and avoid pain and when you toss a plateful of short rib bones to your ten pound Chihuahua he rewards you by slobbering and wagging his tail. His excitement stimulates the release of pleasure endorphins from your brain. He is fat and dumb, and you’re happy, so all seems well in the beginning. Over time, your ten pound Chihuahua passes through twenty on his way to a record breaking, thirty pounds. He is soon plagued with arthritis, back pain, flatulence and dental disease, but as long as you keep feeding him, he keeps wagging his tail and eating. So how do you get off the fat dog merry-go-round? Quit feeding the dog! Are you with me, because I am going to make a leap here? Pick your favorite figure. Our national debt is $13.2 trillion, our unfunded liability to Social Security and Medicare is $130 trillion, our most recent annual federal deficit is $1.3 trillion and Montana’s biennial budget is nearly $8 billion. Figuratively speaking, our govern-ment Chihuahua is bloated and morbidly obese, yet we continue to feed the dang thing. Atten-tion taxpayers: Quit feeding the dog! Perfectly normal, well intentioned people get elected to political office, and they im-mediately sit down at the legislative dinner table and begin feeding the dog from the treasury. Because legislators get pleasure endorphins for the generous way they feed the dog with other people’s money, government quickly becomes so round it can barely walk to the feed dish. After two legislative sessions, I am certain of one fact: Money sent to Helena will be spent in Helena. Legislators, or the majority of them, lack the self discipline to stop feeding the dog from the table so we must fundamentally shrink the amount of food available. Consider this reduction: Property tax contributes 10 percent of the revenues into Montana’s general fund which has grown nearly 48 percent over the last three legislative sessions. Since Montanans complain the recent property tax reappraisal process is inherently inequitable, let’s eliminate Montana state property tax entirely. Had this been done six years ago and state government still would have grown an insane 38 percent. Stop and think how attractive Montana property becomes as an investment, if it is no longer burdened by property tax; the most unfair of all taxes. As it sits now, you may have been frugal your entire life and retired your 30 year mortgage, but if you senior citizens get behind on your property tax bill you will be removed from your residence down the barrel of a gun. You never freely and fully own your home because you forever pay rent to the government as property tax. This is probably just a pipe dream, because progressives derive all their power from feeding the dog. They will offer compromises where property taxes are first paid in full and then progres-sives will redistribute tax-subsidy payments to voting blocks they deem of greater need. No-vember 2, 2010 citizens will decide if we have the votes to quit feeding the dog.
