8th grade Bulldogs fall
short to the Bearcats
The 8th Bulldogs fell short to
the Hawley Bearcats by losing
22-6 at last Thursday’s game.
Skyler Stone led the team on
drive and scored on a good de-
fensive comer. Jason Rodriquez
was the leading tackler, Brady
Owen did well on covering the
onside kick arrctTannon Nauert
had a long catch on a pass.
Stone scored the only TD, on
6 yards option to the left.
“The team executed plays in
the first half and sustained a
fairly long drive in order to
score. The second half we
made some mistakes due to
alignment and assignment. At-
titude, effort and hustle were
still all positive issues with the
Bulldogs”, said Coach Mathis.

Get the Most from Your “Post-
Retirement” Earnings
In earlier generations, “retirement” meant what it sounds like - a
cessation of working. Not any longer. Today, when people “re-
tire” from one career, thcymiay well launch into another, either as
a consultant, a small-busine^-owner or a part-timer But if you're
going to do some type of work after you retire, you’ll want to
make sure you’re also protecting your other sources of retire-
ment income.’’
Toward that goal, keep these points in mind
■Earnings won’t endanger Social Security payments - Until a
lew years ago, you would have lost $1 in Social Security benefits
f«r every $3 of earnings over an annual cap, assuming you were
between 65 and 69. But, as a result of legislation passed in 2(MM),
you can now earn as much as you want and still'reccive your
complete Social Security benefits, provided you've reached "full”
retirement age, which is bast’d on your year of birth However,
your earnings could contribute to your Social Security benefits
being taxed. Depending on your income level, as much as 85
percent of your benefits could be taxable
•Working may lead to larger benefits - If you keep working, and
you don’t really need to»start collecting Social Security, you can
build up larger benefits. You can continue increasing your ben-
efits until age 70, at which point they "max out.” However, by
delaying taking Social Security, you will forfeit some years of
payments, so you’ll have to base your decision on a combination
of financial need and your family history of longevity
Working could allow you to postpone 401(k) distributions -
Your 401 (k) plan provides you with several key benefits - espe-
cially tax deferral. Because you pay no taxes on your earnings
until you start taking withdrawals (or “distributions’'), your money
will grow faster than it would if placed in an investment on which
you paid taxes each year. So, by working after you officially
retire, you may be able to afford to wait before taking 40l(k)
distributions, thereby maximizing the power of tax deferral Or,
you could decide to roll over your 40l(k) to an IRA, which of-
fers more investment options. In any case, there’s a limit <how
long you can wait. Unless you are still working for the same
employer, you must begin taking minimum 401(k) distributions
by April I of the year following the year in which you reach age-
70 1/2.
By working, you may also be able to delay tapping into your
traditional IRA, which also requires you to start taking distribu-
tions in the year after you turn 70 1/2. Or. if you don’t need the
’ income from your traditional IRA, you could convert it to a Roth
IRA7 wllidi doesn’t foftfc ybiT to take withdrawals by a certain
age. And Roth IRA earnings grow totally tax-free, provided you
meet certain conditions. Before taking action, though, consult
with your lax advisor; when you convert a traditional IRA to a
Roth, you will pay taxes at your ordinary income tax rate on any
pre-tax contributions, plus any gams.
Look at the whole picture...If you choose to work after you
retire - or even if you need to work - take the lune to understand
how your earnings will affect your financial situation. By making
sure all the pieces fit together, you can solve the retirement in-
come “puzzle.”

company retirement plan behind.
