Submitted Full speed ahead was the phrase coming out of AT&T this morning as the company revealed it recently deployed its 8,000th compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicle, achieving a major milestone in the com- panys overall 10-year, $565 million commitment to add approximately 15,000 alterna- tive fuel vehicles (AFVs) to its fleet by end of year 2018. In Oklahoma, the company has now deployed 372 alterna- tive fuel vehicles, including 326 vehicles that run on com- pressed natural gas. The 8,000th CNG vehicle a 2014 Chevy Express van manufactured in Wentzville, Missouri was delivered to a work center in St. Louis, Missouri, and will be used to provide entertainment and communications services in the St. Louis metropolitan area. With one of the largest corporate fleets in the country, it makes sense for our business and our communities that we constantly seek ways to reduce fuel costs and minimize envi- ronmental impact, said Jerome Webber, Vice President, Global Fleet and Transportation Management at AT&T. Operating a diverse fleet, which includes alterna- tive fuel vehicles, supports AT&Ts commitment to sus- tainability and exemplifies how we strive to do business. In addition to CNG, AT&T has deployed hybrid electric, all electric and extended-range electric vehicles, achieving a total AFV fleet of more than 10,000 vehicles located in 43 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. As AT&T looks to accomplish its broader target of over 15,000 AFVs, the company will con- tinue to deploy a mix of tech- nologies to meet the varied vehicle needs of its drivers. AT&Ts AFV fleet allowed the company to avoid the pur- chase of 12.4 million gallons of gasoline as of the end of 2013, over the 5-year period since the companys commit- ment to alternative fuels was first announced. Submitted Small towns face different challenges than big cities -- smaller markets, fewer resources and smaller staffs, just to name a few. But, small towns have advantages as well. To highlight those advan- tages, the Oklahoma Main Street Center, a division of the Oklahoma Department of Commerce, is hosting a one- day workshop, June 17 from 8 a.m. 5 p.m., at the Festivities Event Center, 220 N. Bickford in El Reno, Oklahoma. The Small Town Main Street Workshop will bring together revitalization and economic development experts to share ideas and give proven examples that work in small towns. There is a need out there amongst our smaller commu- nities for some attention, ideas and help, said Linda Barnett, director of the Oklahoma Main Street Center. While we cant answer all the issues in one day, we hope this is either a starting point or a continual building block to further our smaller communities along the path. Becky McCray, from Hopeton, Oklahoma, an inter- national speaker on rural and small town topics such as busi- ness, tourism and social media marketing, will open the day addressing that small towns do indeed have a future. Will this come easy, McCray asks? No, but we have to decide right now how to take action for our own rural future. It doesnt mean that every smaller town will sur- vive and thrive. Societal trends are moving in our favor at the moment and we must do what we can to capitalize on that movement. Luncheon keynote address will feature Tripp Muldrow, of Arnett Muldrow and Associates from Greenville, South Carolina. He will show- case economic development lessons learned from small towns across America. We first heard the Muldrow brothers at a confer- ence in Arkansas, said Barnett. Since then, we have had Tripps brother, Ben, as a speaker at one of our trainings. They both understand the issues facing small towns and are experts at helping discover what makes each community unique. We are thrilled to have Tripp speak to the assembled group. In addition, members of the Oklahoma Main Street staff, and program managers from throughout the state, will address the Four Points of the Main Street program; organi- zation, design, promotion and economic restructuring. Each of the Four-Point presenters will speak about 10 minutes each. After that, we will break into small groups to brainstorm ideas. We hope hearing from local program leaders and state staff will help spur additional ideas that each person can take back with them and possibly implement in their own areas. You don't want to miss any of this impor- tant workshop. said Barnett. Cost for the Small Town Main Street WORKshop is $40 per person and includes lunch.

And its just as important to regularly review your plans with your tax, legal and financial profes- sionals in case any changes are needed. For instance, some of your wishes expressed in your will may be overridden by beneficiary designations you filled out years ago. If these designations become outdated, your assets could be passed to those you didnt intend. You might be surprised at how many of your financial assets and legal documents have beneficiary designations tied to them. If you have an IRA, a 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retire- ment plan, a life insurance policy, an annuity, a transfer- on-death (TOD) arrangement, or any of a vari- ety of other assets or accounts, you almost cer- tainly named a beneficiary. And this benefici- ary designation offers a simple, direct and effi- cient way to get assets in the hands of your loved ones who survive you. However, as time goes by, you may experi- ence many changes in your life and when your life changes, your beneficiary designa- tions may need to follow. But if you are like many people, you might forget to update these designations after a marriage, divorce or other change in your family situation. And because the beneficiary designation is a legally binding document, the asset will go to the person you once named as a beneficiary, regardless of your current relationship status. It really doesnt take much effort to look over your accounts and legal arrangements to ensure that your beneficiary designations are current and if they arent, its pretty easy to change them. In fact, for some financial accounts, you may be able to update the bene- ficiary designations online. In any case, plan on reviewing your beneficiary designations regularly, but especially when you experience a change in your life. Heres one more thing to keep in mind: Make sure your current beneficiaries are informed that they will eventually be receiving your 401(k), IRA, life insurance proceeds or other assets that require a beneficiary designa- tion. This advance knowledge may help your loved ones as they plan and maintain their own financial and investment strategies. Although its clearly important for you to update your beneficiary designations and to communicate your actions, you will still need to attend to other areas of your estate planning, such as providing care for minor children or dependents, deciding who you want to receive specific items that do not carry a beneficiary designation, naming some- one to manage your affairs should you become incapacitated, and specifying the control you wish your beneficiaries to have over their inheritance. These are just a few examples of estate-planning considerations. Because everyones situation is different, you will need to consult with your legal advi- sor to determine the level of estate planning you require. As weve seen, updating your beneficiary is one piece of the puzzle but to leave the legacy you desire, youve got to com- plete the picture.
