“She added to her Christmas list some things she should remember.A portion of her notice she had posted in November.

The day to hang the Christmas lights is the day they’ll buy their tree.This lady, she is organized as one can clearly see.

It truly is a work of art that some may call a quirk.She’ll address all of the greeting cards when she returns from work.

She’s established all the extra chores that her husband has to do.Exemptions, there are none, watch her children’s list accrue. Each day she makes additions as if she’d composed a book,Who is on their Christmas list and what she’ll bake and cook.

Extra thoughts are added and she’s added quite a few.Her colors for the season, they are red, white and blue.

So don’t forget our troops as her daily blog did state.Don’t forget the reason that we come to celebrate. She’s loaded with sincerity and it is not a rumor.Here’s another posting and it has a hint of humor.

Encouragement to friends is on her list “to do”.They’re asked to send a Christmas card … to the ACLU.

Money Talks

Is JoInt ProPerty the sIngle solutIon?

Wanting to pass personal property quickly and efficiently to a loved one is a goal common to many. Perhaps you wish to guaranteethat your grandchild will inherit the vacation home.Or perhaps you wantyour brokerage account to pass to your son or daughter, avoiding theprobate process completely.In both cases, a common choice is the useof joint ownership with the right of survivorship (JTWROS). At first glance, JTWROS property may seem like a good way to accomplish your goals, butbefore you use this common solution, consider some potential risks. One clear and popular benefit of using joint tenancy with rights of survivorship is that upon one owner’s death, his or her share is automaticallytransferred to the surviving owner(s) free of the cost and delay of probate.What may be less popular if understood, however, is that JTWROS propertygives each owner an equal “undivided interest” in the entire property. Each owner is entitled to full use of the property and to his or hershare of any income it produces.When you create a JTWROS, you maybe giving up full control. For example, if you desire to sell or refinance your property after naming a new joint owner, the new joint owner(s) must givetheir approval.Even more concerning, if newly named joint owners wereto find themselves in financial trouble, they or their creditors may be able to force a sale of the property and receive a proportionate share of theproperty’s value. Therefore, caution should always be taken when titling abank or brokerage account in JTWROS. Trying to name an alternate beneficiary for joint property in your will also may prove frustrating. Remember, the property will pass to thejoint owner outside the probate process and the directions of the will.If youdecide you want someone else to inherit the property, you may need thecurrent co-owner’s approval. A possible solution would be to, instead of placing propertyin JTWROS, consider a revocable living trust. You are able to namethe person(s) you want as beneficiary, and that decision is revocable (changeable) at any time. A Transfer On Death (TOD) agreement mayalso address the desire for efficient transfer to beneficiaries and retain the same beneficial qualities of joint property. A TOD agreement affords the owner the ability to designate who brokerage account assets will pass to,by-passes probate upon death, and does not expose account assets to thefore-mentioned problems. A common misconception with JTWROS property is that it willlower estate taxes.This is not true.The value of the property is includedin the taxable estate in proportion to ownership and exposed to tax. Thefirst-to-die’s estate will be taxed on the share of the property that he or she actually owns and, for this reason, it is important to keep records of thefunds each person contributes. The haphazard titling of property in JTWROS could also exposeyou to a gift tax consequence, depending on the value of the property.There are a few exceptions such as bank accounts, securities held in streetname and savings bonds. These transfers are taxable gifts only whenthe gift becomes “complete,” occurring when the newly named co-ownerexhibits ownership over the property. Of course, this brief article is no substitute for a carefulconsideration of all of the advantages and disadvantages of this matterin light of your unique personal circumstances.Before implementing jointproperty or any significant financial planning strategy, contact and consult with your financial planner.

Did you know dogsserved in World War I onthe front lines? They rangedfrom Alaskan Malamute to StBernard; from Scotch Collie toFox Terrier.Many of them wereplaced on the regimental rosters,like humans. They served bycarrying messages, or searchingfor the wounded. They hauledmachine guns, light artillery, andcarts loaded with ammunition,food, medicine and sometimeshauled wounded soldiers too.Small dogs trotted among thetrenches delivering cigarettesand comfort or better yet ragedwar on the rats.Rats - hell for ahuman and heaven for a terrier! It is estimated that theallied armies had as many as50,000 trained war dogs andan equivalent number on theother side.Red Cross dogs werereferred to as “Angels of Mercy”.

They were equipped with first aidsupplies in saddle bags and worevests bearing a red cross. Theirtraining gave them specific skillsbut also to think for themselves.The dog’s were trained to bringthe wounded man’s cap or helmetto the trench and then leadmedics to their fallen comrade. The military dogs ofWWI had an impact in both warand peace. It paved the way formore sophisticated uses of K-9corps later on – WWII’s MarineDevil Dogs to the bomb sniffingcanines in Iraq. The first formal schoolto train guide dogs was openedin Germany in 1923 to helpblind veterans. It sparked amovement that would lead tothe multitalented service dogs oftoday.

MIDTERM EXAMThe professor of a graduate-school class included a huge amount of material on the midterm exam. As tension in the room built, people were sighing and gasping aloud.

The following week the professor tossed the graded papers on her desk and announced, “Class, after I left here last week, the Lord spoke to me. He said, ‘Thanks, professor. I haven’t heard from some of those people in years!’ ”

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.

Call Your Dog Five years ago, I titled this column “Ramblings…” to allow me to rein in and out of subject matters. As long as I remotely tie my points together at the end, everything fits. I have a word of caution concerning today’s column: Avid readers should take a deep seat. Infrequent readers should grab the saddle horn, and newbies best grab it with both hands because today I am jumping around. Here we go. Let’s conduct a little demonstration: Wherever you are sitting, be it the kitchen, barn or shop, take a bite size piece of steak and hide it on the floor. Now, call your dog into the room. Grab the horn, while I spin to the right. In the late ‘70s my older brother, Dana, was the lone rider in our Lodge Grass, Little Horn, and Lake Creek cow camps. This meant Dana and his dog, Cody, spent hundreds of days each year trailing cattle up, down, and side-ways around the Big Horn Mountains. Cody was a loyal hand and it mattered not whether it was day or night, hot or cold, wet or dry, he was always ready to go. A working dog’s devotion to duty is inspiring and Dana and Cody were inseparable. When I married in 1979, Dana was my best man, and he loaned me marital advice he learned during his solitary hours as a bachelor chasing cows through the timber with his dog. “Training a wife is like training a dog. Love ‘em a little bit and beat the heck out of ‘em.” (Because he was single he was an expert at matters which didn’t pertain to him.) Three years later Dana married Alice so was able to personally apply his marital wisdom. It’s working perfectly. After 27 years of marriage, when Alice, yells “Sit” you best not be trapped between Dana’s backside and the ground or you could get squashed. Alice and Dana prove both old cowboys and old cow dogs can learn new tricks with minimal training. Grab the horn again; we’re going to spin to the left. How long did it take your dog to find that piece of steak you hid under the throw rug by your kitchen table? I’ll bet it was sniffed and snarfed before you reached the fifth paragraph of this column. Imagine what your old dog could do with professional training, and this brings me to my point: Heelers heel, retrievers retrieve, pointers point and border collies herd because of the instincts refined through hundreds of years of selective breeding. With train-ing they can perform their duties flawlessly; a sight most Americans find inspiring to watch. As such, consider this: Because of their keen sense of smell, dogs can be trained to detect over 19,000 different combinations of explosives and are more reliable at finding bomb materials than all the techno gadgets ever produced. American forces use dogs extensively in Iraq. For $8,500 of training we can get a previously unemployed dog a job on the bomb-sniffing squad; not bad when compared to the expense of the ineffective TSA radiographic scanners costing $150,000 each. Trained dogs walking on a leash through the hoards of passengers and luggage in America’s airports would be far more reliable and less offensive than whole body scanners or blue-gloved men probing your shorts for bombs. Think about this: Dogs can’t profile. Wherever and whoever smells like explosives, triggers a reaction. No more TSA targeting of silver-haired Nanas so as to give the desired demographic data on inspection reports. Dogs go directly to the bombs. If Alice can get my brother to sit on command after only 27 years, we certainly could train a legion of explosive sniffing ca-nines to address our security needs…if it was truly about secu-rity, but it’s not. It’s about conditioning. End of column…all nicely tied together like a package under the Christmas tree.

This holiday season, please take a moment to contribute to either of these charitable organizations who support research of PPND and similar

neurological illnesses.

It’s the SeaSon forGivingThe 2nd Annual PPND Donation Drive

begins November 26, 2010.

From now thru Jan. 31st, 2011, we will be tracking the contributions made by those in our reading area.

Let’s beat last year’s numbers! Last year at this time, Tricia’s Trader ran a feature on PPND (Pallido-Pontal-Nigral-Degeneration), also called “Newell’s

Syndrome” due to its being traced back to a pioneer to Montana in the early 20th century, Chet Newell. Newell’s descendants still

reside all across northern Montana, and about half of them carry the deadly and debilitating gene that takes many lives in their late 40s and early 50s. To read the original story, visit triciastrader.com.
