On May 8, 1984, Elizabeth Diane Downs, a blonde 28-year-old letter carrier, took a seat next to her defense attorney on the first day of one of the most sensational trials in Lane County history. She grew up in Arizona, the daughter of a postal worker, but would move to Oregon with her children. She is charged with the murder of those children. She has pleaded not guilty on all charges.
When Diane was 18, with a high school education, she married Steve Downs, a farmhand she describes as being as dominating as her father. Now he's an electrician. Her parents didn't like him, but that was fine. "I did not marry Steve for love. I married Steve to get out of the family."

Divorced from Steve, she became a surrogate mother. She had also become involved with Robert Knickerbocker, a married man at the post office where they both worked in Chandler, Arizona. When Diane moved to Oregon for a new start, she had hoped Knickerbocker would leave his wife and join her. That spring, she began writing him unmailed letters in her diary. They are key to the prosecution's case. The prosecution maintains she tried to kill her kids because Knickerbocker didn't want kids. But Diane says, "I was losing interest in him. He was becoming too time-consuming, even for letter writing."
"Let's put it this way," she also told the jury. "If I loved him as much as I said in those letters, wouldn't I have sent them?"
The diary ends on May 17, 1983 - two days before the shootings.
Downs has also had to explain why she gave different accounts of the shooting. She has said her ex-husband hired a hitman, and also in a separate interview, that the shooting was committed by two men in ski masks who also happened to know she had a five-inch tattoo of a rose on her back.

Are We Ever Truly Ready? | The Odyssey Online
Tumblr media
From my own personal experience:
Being suddenly presented with failure in Uni when I was so certain about my life path included graduating from Oregon St. I wasn't ready to figure out how I was still going to achieve my life goal of becoming a Computer Engineer, but I knew it wasn't going to be that school so I headed back home, and resumed classes at my local city college, while working part time.
Before I was even married, the woman I was dating and (thought) I knew I was going to spend my life with, she became pregnant with our first child. While I wasn't ready to figure out how we were going to become a family for which I am responsible for taking care of, I knew when I held my daughter for the very first time, my life would change forever with the title of Dad.
Fast forward 10 years, I had been working in NorCal and needed to transition back to SoCal at the end of a contract. Six months later, I received the start of a divorce proceeding from her attorney. I had no idea of how I was going to get through it, but I knew I had to, and part of that meant to head back to MI to reclaim my own home. I knew emotionally, I wasn't going to be ready to subject myself to an abusive spouse again but I knew I had to.
Life events just happen, whether we think we are ready or not. Usually and overwhelmingly they require some sort of personal growth that challenges our core being and beliefs. These are never easy, and we are never really ready for anything, but somehow we persevere through them by taking a chance on what the Universe wants to guide us through.

Page 3: Love-hungry Katie Holmes is thrilled to have a new man in her life but she’s breaking the bank to keep him happy because Katie is picking up the tab wherever she goes with Emilio Vitolo Jr. because it helps her feel she’s in full control of the relationship but Emilio may be taking advantage of Katie’s generosity because Katie has been showering him with designer clothes and jewelry and even paying for a personal trainer to whip him into shape -- Katie enjoys giving her guy things he can appreciate because he’s made her so happy but she may go broke doing it and it’s not like he doesn’t have any money; he’s worth a cool $1.5 million himself

A Great Time to Update Your Estate Planning
Across the give up of each 12 months i really like to take an stock of myself, what I did inside the past year and what changed over that point. There had been new additions to my circle of relatives; i've grown toward some pals and greater remote with others; we have moved to a brand new residence; and in standard things have changed notably. With all the trade, it is an ideal time to replace my property plan to mirror those and different modifications that have came about due to the fact I carried out my property making plans documents almost 8 years ago.
I need to update my files and you probable do too; otherwise you want to create an estate plan in case you do not have one already. Some questions which you need to ask yourself in figuring out whether you need to replace your property making plans documents are below.
1. Do you've got an existing property plan?
If your answer is sure, then i will direct you to impeach wide variety 2. In case you solution, no, then please read on.
I from time to time have human beings tell me that they have a will but it simply hasn't been signed. My answer is short: "then you definately don't have a will." In Oregon, a will is most effective valid if you sign it and it's properly witnessed.
I additionally ask them in the event that they have a long lasting power of legal professional and increase fitness care directive. Either a will or agree with will form the spine of your estate plan, however you must also have a long lasting energy of attorney for price range and improve fitness care directive to finish your property plan.
2. Has the size of your property changed?
If the scale of your estate has accelerated then you may need a brand new property plan to cope with the growth for estate tax motives or from a monetary planning point of view. Even a decrease to your estate may necessitate a change when you consider that tax making plans for your preceding estate planning documents can also no longer be vital or ok.
3. Have you ever divorced or married?
Once finalized a divorce robotically revokes your will. If you failed to update your existing estate plan after the divorce then you definately need to achieve this as soon as feasible. If your will is revoked then your estate can also bypass through intestate succession except you execute a new will or trust.
No longer most effective is your will revoked however most payable on dying designations naming your ex-partner as a beneficiary could be mechanically revoked too. But, you want to trade the ones designations so that a bank or other financial institution does not mistakenly make a charge to your ex-spouse.
In Oregon, like a divorce, marriage revokes any will entered into prior to the marriage (until the desire states that it become made in contemplation of marriage). But, the beneficiary designations on most payable on death accounts (financial institution bills, brokerage bills, and so forth.) and retirement money owed remain unchanged. As an instance, you could name your sister as the beneficiary of your IRA, get married, and neglect to trade your partner to the number one beneficiary. You skip away 10 years later, still fortunately married. Your sister gets your IRA, no longer your partner - the only you and your partner have been living on.
Executing a new estate plan following a divorce or marriage is important to avoid this end result.
4. Have you moved to a new state or united states of america?
For the most part property making plans files executed in Oregon are valid inside the different forty nine states. However, you may need to replace your existing documents to reflect your new nation's legal guidelines. Normally you'll want to execute a new durable strength of legal professional or health care directive to conform along with your new nation's laws. Despite the fact that it may not be important, new estate planning documents might also make it less difficult to address monetary institutions and scientific carriers on your new country.
5. Have any of your trustees, non-public representatives or other fiduciaries moved, died, end up unwell, grown remote, or otherwise become not able to function a fiduciary?
As beneficiaries change, so do your fiduciaries - together with personal representative, trustee, lawyer-in-truth and health care agent. With more youthful couples, oftentimes they name their parents as trustees of a trust installation for the couple's minor kids. The kids develop up and emerge as financially accountable. The couple's parents get older and bypass away or emerge as unable to manage budget.
Co-fiduciaries get divorced (suppose your son and daughter in law) or have a falling out (siblings named as co-trustees) such that they are able to no longer serve together. Pals named as trustee or private consultant grow distant and also you now not talk or see them. Banks exchange arms and names such that the small, intimate local bank, is now owned by way of one of the massive countrywide banks.
As these changes manifest, the fiduciary designations on your property plan want to alternate too. The update can be fairly simple.
6. Have you ever funded your trust absolutely?
Many people sign their accept as true with, placed the originals of their safe deposit container and then flow on. They by no means reflect onconsideration on the believe once more. They buy and promote belongings in their own names, in no way shifting the property to the accept as true with or buying new assets beneath the agree with's call. Many clients will refinance their domestic and to do so the financial institution calls for the couple to take their assets out of their consider and refinance it of their names as husband and wife. Once the refinance is entire, they do not put the property again into their accept as true with.
One of the principal motives to use a trust is to avoid probate. If all of your own home is not transferred on your trust or owned by your believe then probate may be required. Probate is an expensive and well timed manner this is regularly needless, assuming your accept as true with is fully funded.
7. Does your current plan cope with your incapacity?
A few humans have a will but do not have a long lasting power of attorney for budget and enhance fitness care directive. Each of those documents are vital to keep away from unnecessary and high-priced guardianship and conservatorship court cases during your lifetime. Many human beings that use do-it-your self wills run into this trouble.
The truth of the problem is that guardianship and conservatorship proceedings decrease your assets faster than a probate proceeding will. Yet humans frequently ignore these documents in planning or fail to update the documents to address changes during their lifetimes.
One of the more frustrating parts of my practice occurs whilst someone has a legitimate durable electricity of attorney however the appointed attorney-in-fact has exceeded away or is not able to serve as lawyer-in-fact and a successor isn't named within the file. The report is basically vain and you may need courtroom involvement if you emerge as disabled.
8. Does your current plan distribute your property: (1) to whom you need; (2) whilst you want them to acquire it; and, (three) inside the manner you need them to get hold of it?
If you can't solution those three questions affirmatively then you definately possibly want to update your estate planning files.
Own family dynamics alternate unexpectedly. You can have had an wonderful dating together with your son at the time you completed your will in 1990 however on the grounds that that time your dating has deteriorated a lot that you have not spoken to him in 10 years. Do you continue to want your son to acquire all your estate and if so do you need his percentage to be held in agree with for his benefit in the course of his lifetime with the remainder going immediately to his youngsters.
Has a beneficiary become disabled because you remaining completed your will or trust? Has a beneficiary advanced a gambling dependancy or spending habits that you could disagree with?
Beneath those varieties of situations you'll really need to replace your will, believe and other estate planning files to cope with these changes.
End
The purpose of estate making plans is to cope with how you would really like to be handled in the occasion of your disability and the way you would love your property to be treated after you skip away. Failing to replace your property planning files can bring about fallacious control of your finances in the course of your lifetime and your private home being disbursed to humans or organizations that you no longer wish to acquire it.
These questions are non-exhaustive. Please name our office to agenda an appointment to check your current estate making plans files and discuss modifications which you would like made.

Chapter 1
1966 - Silver Falls Washington
Jake fixes his stare out the front window of his dad's old clunker of a pickup truck. Past the filth of a neglected window, looking further down the highway towards a spot near the horizon, the road seems to disappear into the unrelenting shadows of a thousand majestic pines. Each spire contending for the touch of the sun's warm rays.
 It was an old truck, a classic of an ancient time long ago. A 1942 Chevy if Jake remembered correctly his dad’s many mentions of his baby.  Any reasonable speed was out of the question, so to Jake it felt like it took nearly forever to reach any of the those distant points he observed.  Frustrated, Jake shifts his fatigued stare out the passengers side window.  Maybe somehow he thought, they would get to their destination faster, as life did seem to whip by at a more dizzying speed. Though what was before a winding road with beautiful pine trees and luscious undergrowth funneling him to his ultimate destination, was now a wash of blurring green and brown hues.  It reminded him of the time he rode the spinning top attraction at the playground. Nausea set in as he kept trying to find his mom off in the distant crowd with the other mothers. Each rotation pressing heavy on his brain and equilibrium brought him one step closer to puking off the side of the ride.
Looking out the window and recalling these childhood memories of years ago makes young Jake dizzy and ultimately sick to his stomach. He decides he might try rolling down the passenger window and hold his hand outside instead, pretending it was a jet plane, like his father used to fly in the war. Maybe the distraction would be enough to pass the time. But it was a chilly May morning in Washington State, and Jake knew his father would protest the cold biting air cooling his morning cup of coffee, so the window remained closed.
    Young Jake begins to let his mind wander off to thoughts of his home and his room back in Southern California with his mother. His parents divorced a few years back when he was only six and this summer would become the first instance his father would spend any real time with him, outside a day or two on the weekends for a birthday or a holiday type event. Jake missed his mother terribly, even if it only had been a few days since his father and him had traveled out of California and into Oregon and eventually Washington State.
Being awake on this long trek into the woods was going to be hard for Jake to bare, so he closes his eyes and curls himself into a comfortable position on the cold cracked vinyl seat of the truck and drifts off to sleep. Memories of his mom, his things, and the cool ocean breezes ushering the way.
Cool crisp air rushes into the cabin of the truck. Jake pops up. His dad stands at the door, his rifle slung over his shoulder, coffee mug in one hand while extending the other for Jake to grab. Jake rubs his eyes  as he tries to focus his attention on pulling himself out of the semi-slumber conscious state he is in. He adjusts his Angels ball cap and wipes a bit of cold slobber from his cheek.
Jake couldn't believe he had slept almost the entire distance from his dad's apartment. Located in the town of Silver Falls Washington, nestled amongst the  foothills of Mt. Daniel, Jake’s father had lived in the tiny one room apartment since his divorce.  He had recently purchased an old cabin with two extra rooms a few miles up the north face a couple months earlier in a last ditch attempt to show his wife's attorneys that he didn’t want to lose all parental rights to his son. This cabin was his means to reestablish a relationship with Jake and to show he was really trying to be the dad Jake deserved, and not simply the boys father.
    "Aright tiger, we're here", Jakes dad whispers as he holds his hand out for Jake to grasp. Jake pauses a quick moment as if needing to remember he didn’t  actually need his dad's help for anything. Not after all these long years without the aforementioned fatherly guidance. Jake decides he didn't want to give his father the satisfaction of being there for him in this instance and jumps out of the cab of the truck by himself. Jake lands awkwardly on a slick patch of moss growing on a flat stone protruding from the earth and lands squarely on his rump. The impact reverberates through his bones and a slight tear wells up in his eye, but he couldn't nor wouldn't let his dad lay witness to this momentary weakness. It would most certainly give his dad reason to rub it in his face, an I told you so type moment if there ever was one. Instead he holds back the instinct to complain and rights himself quickly, brushing his moistened pant bottoms with his hand.
    Atop a small peak of just one of many hills, the forest laid out before them, untouched, vast, and like nothing Jake had ever seen. He found the sight both terrifying and awe inspiring. A barely audible “Whoa” seeps out from under his breath.
Large Evergreen trees seemed to roll on and on forever. So deep and unending, Jake's eyes could only focus on a section at a time. He could only really see out maybe four or five miles, then at which point reality ceased and a distinct line separated nature and what looked like what he could only describe as a cheap oil painting. His grandma had such a painting hung on her wall in the living room. It was much more underwhelming.
Jake was impressed, but he would never give his dad this satisfaction. His father would have to really work for it this time. To often Jake came second.
    “Frank, are we going to spend the entire summer in the mountains?" Jake knew not to complain, but rather dance around the point he was trying to make without coming straight out and saying it. His mother called him a clever child for mastering such an adult skill at such a young age. His father was blunt and too the point. Jake must have learned it from her.
“No son, just a couple days of fresh air, peace and quiet.”  His dad responds, never pulling his gaze from the majesty as he saw it that unfolds before him. “And please call me Dad”. No doubt a sentiment rooted from Jake’s uncontested years with his mother, his dad thought to himself.
Jake however looked up directly at his father, watching for signs of falsehood or hesitation in the answer to the question he would ask next. 
“Then back to the city Frank, huh. Back to moms?”
Jake’s father kneels down and embraces him in a bear hug. His face showing nothing but love and compassion, while his heart hides the pain of rejection inside. It is all too easy to slip back into a self-absorbed condition and scold his son while bad mouthing his ex. This wasn’t a natural state for his father, but he was trying. He had too. He couldn’t lose his son.
“Hey now, you’re all mine until the end of the month city boy.”
Jake throws his head back and goes limp, playfully acting. “Let go Frank, you’re going to squeeze me to deattttthhhh.”
Jake and his father spent the next few hours walking through the beautiful landscape of the Pacific North West.  Giant pines and Redwoods sored hundreds of feet into the air, appearing to lean to the center as they disappeared into the low hanging clouds far above. Their majesty juxtaposed against the lush frailty of ferns and other various undergrowth far below. Jake jumps over moss covered logs of fallen giants as his father forged a trail ahead. Small spring fed rivers would appear from nowhere, flow a few hundred yards and disappear again under the lush growth. Jake’s father points out interesting objects from fauna to various woodland creatures that appeared and gave his best guided tour speech. Beyond the corniness of its delivery, his father had spent many years as a hunter and his entire life as an outdoors man, so he did know what he was talking about. Jake does enjoy it.
The two emerge from the darkness of the tree line and step into a wide clearing. Having been shaded for the last couple hours, Jake has to cover his eyes with the back of his hand, guarding his agaped pupils from the harsh glaring light. His vision soon begins to normalize, shades of gray and earth tones colors slowly wash back in like the tides.  What reveals itself shortly thereafter as the whitewash of intense light slowly dims catches him off guard, and he calls out.
“DAD!”

Wisconsin community in uproar after teacher constructs COVID 'fort' Boykoff BOYKOFF FAMILY A longtime lawyer for the state of Wisconsin whose volunteer work involved literacy and libraries, Thomas Boykoff had some unusual hobbies. He wrote to dignitaries — presidents, popes, the king of Jordan, Fidel Castro — and collected boxes of responses in the form of cards, photos and letters. He was also a devotee of Millard Fillmore, the country’s 13th president, becoming a member of the self-deprecatingly-named “Fillmorons” fan club. “My dad had a penchant for the obscure, and he had a real devotion to fighting for the underdog,” said Jules Boykoff, the oldest of his three children. “I think he viewed Millard Fillmore as this massively underappreciated president.” Boykoff, 77, died from COVID-19 on Dec. 28. He had Alzheimer’s disease and prostate cancer that had spread, with the coronavirus delivering the final blow, his son said. Boykoff lived since 2015 at Oakwood Village’s University Woods campus, where he died. Boykoff grew up in New York City and came to Madison for college. Outside of three years in law school at the University of Michigan, he never left. Thomas Boykoff, third from left, in 2018 with, from left: daughter-in-law Monica Boykoff, son Max Boykoff, daughter Molly Boykoff, daughter-in-law Kaia Sand and son Jules Boykoff. BOYKOFF FAMILY “It didn’t take him long to figure out that Madison was the place he wanted to spend his life,” said Jules Boykoff, 50, chair of the politics and government department at Pacific University in Oregon. His dad worked as staff attorney for the Wisconsin Legislative Council, at the Department of Revenue and at the Department of Financial Institutions. He served two stints on the Wisconsin Tax Appeals Commission. “He believed deeply in government, its necessity, its power, its responsibility,” his son said. “He was a deliberately bipartisan guy.” Thomas Boykoff belonged to the Madison-based Sherlock Holmes Society group “Notorious Canary Trainers,” and was a member of the Jane Austen Society. BOYKOFF FAMILY Thomas Boykoff, who also taught at UW-Madison Law School, was a hearing examiner for Madison’s rent abatement program, volunteered with the Literacy Network in Madison and was active in the Friends of the Madison Public Library and Friends of the Middleton Public Library. He was a member of the Jane Austen Society and a facilitator for the Madison-based Sherlock Holmes Society group, “Notorious Canary Trainers.” He spoke some Swahili and “passable” Spanish, his son said. Even in his last days, his mind fading, he could recite Federico García Lorca’s poem, “Canción de Jinete.” Thomas Boykoff, who wrote to dignitaries and conducted seminars on how to do so, collected six boxes of responses. They include letters from Fidel Castro and a representative of the Dalai Lama, and photos from former Brazil president Dilma Rousseff and former first lady Barbara Bush. BOYKOFF FAMILY The family has given six boxes of letters and photos Boykoff collected from world leaders to the First Unitarian Society in Madison, where he was a member, for use as a public archive. His other children are Max Boykoff, 47, director of the Center for Science and Technology Policy Research at the University of Colorado, and Molly Boykoff, 43, a special-education teacher in the Portland, Oregon area. Their parents divorced in the 1990s. “I feel really lucky that I had a dad like him,” Jules Boykoff said.
