    anyone who is a classic car enthusiast and on

    occasion wants to help. Our motto is family,

    friends, fun and classic cars.”

    Marchese said the overall goal of the evening

    is to provide a family-friendly atmosphere

    where classic car owners can come to compare

    and show o their cars and people of all ages

    can come to look at the cars and reminisce.

    “Older folks like to reminisce; ‘I had one of

    those, I did this in my rst car, etc.’ Those same

    people can then tell their grandkids about

    what they had and the memories,” Marchese

    said. “For the owners, they are re-owning their

    youth and what they did through getting that

    car they had in high school back again. This is

    an event for the whole family to do together

    with no cost.”

    DRIVE INTO FOLSOM

    Along with their weekly cruise nights,

    club also hosts several community-orien

    classic car show events that give back to

    community.

    “In the past 19 years, we have contribute

    organizations including The Twin Lakes F

    Bank, The Orangevale Food Bank, The

    som Zoo, Shriners Hospital, Folsom’s K-9

    and Mounted Patrols, Boy Scouts, Rose

    and Rocklin’s K-9 units and many otheMarchese said.

    5, in the parking lot next to Kohl’s at013 Riley St., Folsom.

    By Laura Newell

    Warm spring nights means it’s time

    to cruise the streets with the longest

    running and largest weekly cruise

    night in Northern California.

    “This is the start of 20 years for the Cappuc-

    cino Cruisers Classic Car Club,” said Ray

    Marchese, Cappuccino Cruisers Classic Car

    Club events coordinator and DJ. “It is rolling

    history, these classics can give comfort to folks

    of days gone by when there were less worries

    n life. You could leave your keys in the car

    and unlike today it would be there when you

    eturned to it.”

    “The event is open to all automobiles made

    prior to 1974,” Marchese said. “Our evenings

    nclude music, raes, food and three spon-

    ored awards weekly. The club is open to

    n the paper that a coee shop was interest-

    ed in hosting something to attract business,”

    Marchese said. “We met with the shop owner,

    decided what and how we would approach

    he get together and it began.”

    Marchese said for other classic car enthusiasts

    who want to join the club or get involved can

    contact him.

    “We are always welcoming new folks into the

    group who might have just got a car, moved

    nto the area with a car, just like looking at the

    old cars and want to help, inherited a family

    vehicle or are just interested,” Marchese said.

    The Sacramento Zoo has been a m

    see family friendly attraction for o

    80 years. Since opening in 1927, it

    grown from 4 acres and 40 animal exhibit

    14 acres and more than 500 animals. Throu

    out the years, the zoo has gone through sev

    waves of renovations in order to better s

    the needs of its inhabitants, as well as to be

    educate and engage the thousands of vis

    that come through its turnstiles year after y

    One such program that aims to inspire

    educate visitors, and designed with sen

    interests in mind, is the zoo’s Tea & To

    program. On Monday mornings in May

    September, seniors age 55 and older can ge

    know more about the various animals on

    hibit and their care.

    “You get a nice tour where you get to w

    around, see all of these animals, learn

    facts, learn about their personalities, so

    thing you wouldn’t get at your typical da

    the zoo when wandering around,” expl

    Tonya Candelaria, public relations coord

    tor with the Sacramento Zoo. “And then

    end the morning with tea, tea sandwic

    cookies and light refreshing treats.”

    A large part of the Sacramento Zoo’s mis

    consists of education and conservation

    grams, reaching an average of 60,000 to 80

    students annually. Their Tea & Tours progra

    designed to appeal specically to senior visi

    “People forget that the zoo is for everyoneall ages. It’s not just for the little kids,” C

    delaria said. “Animals fascinate people o

    ages and [docents have] stories to tell. A

    sometimes there are stories to tell that we c

    tell the young children, which we can tell

    adults. So this is a great time to come out

    see the animals at your own pace.”

    President Obama in February

    called for tougher standards

    for investment brokers

    who manage retirement savings

    accounts, requiring them to act in

    a client’s best interest by disclosing

    any fees or other payments they

    receive for recommending certain

    investments.

    He lashed out at nancial

    advisors who, he said, are

    “bilking” clients for their own

    benet and peddling “snake oil.” The proposed rules, which the

    White House can enact without congressional approval, would require

    hat nancial advisors act as duciaries for their clients, putting the

    customer’s interests before their own compensation or company

    prots when recommending buying or selling investments.

    Under current rules, brokers are required to recommend only

    “suitable” investments, based on nances, age and how much risk is

    appropriate for the client. “We already use the duciary standard. We

    hink the Obama proposal is a really good idea,” said Tia Florence, a

    certied nancial planner with Lane Florence LLP, a nancial planning

    rm with oces in Folsom and Cameron Park. “What ever happens

    at an adviser’s desk should be a better deal for the investor than it is

    or the adviser,” she said. “Stepping up the bar on advising retirement

    plans is a good thing.”

    A report by Obama’s Council of Economic Advisors estimated that

    nvestors receiving “conicted advice” earn lower returns, about

    1 percentage point a year, than other investors. That runs up to

    approximately $17 billion in lost returns, just in individual retirement

    accounts. Over time, the report said, the losses can amount to tens of

    housands of dollars for the average worker. A fact sheet distributed by

    he White House said imposing a duciary standard on brokers wouldcrack down on “backdoor payments and hidden fees.”

    The proposals were submitted by the Department of Labor to the

    White House for review and later will go out for public comment. The

    agency recommended similar regulations ve years ago but they were

    beaten back by heavy opposition from the nancial industry and some

    n Congress from both parties. The industry reportedly handles $11

    rillion in Americans’ retirement savings.

    “The corrosive power of ne print, hidden fees and conicted advice

    can eat away like a chronic illness at people’s hard-earned retirement

    TOUGHER RULES FOR RETIREMENT FUND ADVICE

    ADVICE

    savings,” Labor Secretary Tom Perez said. The nancial indu

    counters that the White House and Labor Department have disto

    the issue and disregarded existing tough regulations for investm

     brokers.

    “We have ongoing concerns that the Department of Labor and

    White House have completely ignored the existence of the rob

    regulatory regime under the Securities and Exchange Commission

    the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and this re-proposal co

    make it harder to save for retirement by cutting access to aord

    advice and limiting options for savers,” said Kenneth Bentsen, c

    executive of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Associat

    “Fiduciary responsibility means you’re acting as the client’s conscie

    in a sense. You’re acting as their guardian angel,” said Nich

    Crane, senior vice president and portfolio manager at RBC We

    Management in El Dorado Hills. “How the whole thing plays

    you’ve got me. Our industry is ghting the Obama proposals h

    Our industry likes to make money for itself.”

    Crane, an investment adviser for 33 years, said he “always” acts in

    clients’ interest. “I’m held to a duciary standard. I have discretion

    management of client portfolios. I must---not only by law, but in g

    conscience---act in my clients’ best interests.”

    Many investment rms don’t want the duciary standard, prefer

    a suitability standard. “Yet the government wants to insist

    recommendations be made on a duciary basis, where you’re actin

     behalf of the client, versus trying to sell something to the client,” Cr

    said. “Do I think duciary is a better standard? I sure do.”

    6 | APRIL 2015

    Many people create a Trust or a Will

    package with their attorney and after

    they sign all of the documents, they

    set it aside and never look at it again until an

    emergency arises or someone in the family

    has passed. In addition, when they did their

    planning they forgot to mention a few things

    that should have been included in their plan in

    the rst place.

    I have listed below some reasons why you

    may want to meet with your attorney to update your estate plan as

    follows:

    You have a disabled child or grandchild that will inherit from your

    trust. This requires the attorney to put specic language into the trust

    that allows the trustee to create a 3rd party Special Needs Trust for

    the beneciary at the time of distribution of your trust which will a)

    allow the disabled beneciary to keep their Medi-Cal, SSI and other

    such benets, b) avoids recovery by the State when the beneciary

    has passed and c) avoids the need to have to go to Court to create

    this type of trust for your disabled child upon your passing to protect

    their inheritance and benets.

    You have children who cannot manage the inheritance they will

    receive from the trust because the beneciary a) has prior bankruptcies

    ssues, b) has never shown the ability to manage their nancial aairs

    without help, c) has a history of drug or alcohol abuse, d) has past

    due child support issues and e) has multiple creditors trying to

    recover against any money they receive from their inheritance. This

    may require your trust to have specic language to make distribution

    nto a Spendthrift Trust or similar device for the beneciary. This type

    of trust can limit the amount given to the beneciary at any one time

    REMEMBER ... “IT’S YOUR LIFE. SO PLAN FOR IT”.

    DOES YOUR ESTATE PLAN NEED

    TO BE UPDATED?

    (to make it last) and it can also limit or stop third party creditors

    ex-spouses from going after your child’s inheritance.

    You have an A/B Trust (most people don’t they have one or not) w

    are specically designed for a) couple’s in a second marriage or b

    estates that exceed $5 million dollars in value. You will want to ask

    attorney if an A/B Trust is right for you or should you “restate y

    trust” to from an A/B Trust to a simple A Trust to avoid the high-co

    setting up and managing an A/B trust.

    You have a pets that you want to insure are taken care of especif you are very close to your pets. You can ask the attorney to crea

    special Pet Trust and Pet Power of Attorney documents for your

    and fund it with funds from your trust upon your passing, or, inc

    language in your trust with directions to your trustee of what to do

    your “furry children” upon your passing. A pet trust will insure

    your pet(s) are properly taken care if you lose capacity or at the tim

    your passing.

    You or your spouse are reaching the age where you may need e

    care assistance at home or elsewhere and you want to discuss a) how

     become eligible to apply for the Veteran’s Aid and Attendance ben

    to help you pay for such elder care needs and/or b) how to protect y

    assets should one (or both) of you wind up in a nursing home and hto apply for Medi-Cal long-term care benets to help pay for the

    cost of your nursing home care. You’ll probably need to see an Elder

    Attorney to discuss how to properly protect your assets and apply

    these types of benets for your elder care needs when the time com

    So if it has been awhile since you reviewed your Trust, Will or o

    estate planning documents, you may want to meet with your atto

    and while you are there…ask them about the one or two items discu

    above which may apply to your and your family.

    After seeing many a TV chef prepare lamb, I decided to try it for

    self. I have been a fan ever since.
