For Princess Gabrielle of St. Biel,
Scotland is a land of stunning vis-
tas, wild chieftains, treacherous
glens, and steep shadows-skull-
duggery, betrayal, and now mur-
der. Prized forJier exquisite beauty,
the daughter of one of England's
most influential barons, Gabrielle
is also a perfect bargaining-chip for
a king who needs peace in the High-
lands: King John has arranged
Gabrielle's marriage to a good and
gentle baird. But this marriage will
never take place.
For Gabrielle, everything changes
in on last burst of freedom—when
she and her guards come upon a
scene of unimaginable cruelty. With
one shot from her bow and arrow,
Gabrielle takes a life, saves a life,
and begins a war.
Within days, the Highlands are
aflame with passions as a battle
royal flares between enemies old
and new. Having come to Scotland
to be married, Gabrielle is instead
entangled in Highland intrigue. For
two sadistic noblemen underesti-

mating Gabrielle's bravery and
prowess may prove fatal.
But thanks to a secret Gabrielle
possesses, Colm MacHugh, the
most feared man in Scotland, finds
a new cause for courage. Under his
penetrating gaze, neither Gabrielle's
body nor heart is safe.

A stunning phone call crashes
through Iris Lockhart's quiet life:
Her great-aunt Esme, whom she
never knew existed, is being re-
leased from Cauldstone Hospital,
where she has been locked away for
over sixty years.
Esme's papers are indisputable,
and Iris can see the shadow of her
dead father in Esme's face.
Iris knows it's ill-advised to take
Esme home, but she can't allow her
to be sent to another hopeless place.
Esme has been cleared as harmless,
but why was she locked away in the
first place? And why wasn't she
ever mentioned? How did she be-
come so completely lost?
Check out The Vanishing Act of
Esme Lennox by Maggie O'Farrell
today at the Archer Public Library.

Overall, none of the Lady Cats

FINANCIAL FOCUS •
by Grady R. Schenk, Jr.
WHEN CHANGING JOBS,
DON'T SHORTCHANGE
YOUR 401(K)
Your 401 (k) plan can be a major
source of your retirement savings.
As you know, your 401(k) offers
several different investment options
and the chance to accumulate tax-
deferred earnings. But what will
happen to your 401(k) if you leave
your job before you retire? You've
got several choices - and it's really
important that you make the right
one, because your decision can have
a major impact on your retirement
lifestyle.
What are the main options re-
garding your 401(k)? Let's take a
look.
* You could cash out your plan. If
you need the money, liquidating
your plan is an option. Caution: if
you cash out, your company will
likely pay you 80 percent of your
account value, withholding the rest
for federal taxes. And if you're
younger than 59-1/2, you may well
be slapped with a 10 percent tax
penalty. Even worse, you'll have
lost a key source of your retirement
income. Avoiding this option has
its benefits.
* You could leave the money in
your company's plan. Not all com-
panies offer this option, but many
of them do. If you like the invest-
ment options available in your plan,
then leaving the money alone may
not be a bad idea. On the other
hand, since you will no longer be
employed by the company, you
might fall "out of the loop" as far as
401(k) plan administration, so you
might be caught by surprise if the
company decides to change invest-
ment options.
* You could move the money
into your new employer's plan. If
your new employer has a 401(k),
and allows transfers, you could roll
the money over from your old plan
to the new one. This might be an
attractive option if you like the
investment accounts offered in your
new employer's plan.
* You could roll the money over
to an IRA. You may find several
advantages to rolling your 401 (k)
over to an IRA. First, your money
can continue the potential to grow
on a tax-deferred basis. Second,
you can invest your funds in virtu-
ally any investment you choose -
stocks, bonds, government securi-
ties, Certificates of Deposit, etc.
Third, if you have more than one
401(k) account going, you could
find it advantageous to consolidate
them into a single IRA, thereby
making it easier to allocate and
monitoryourretirementassets. And
fourth, IRAs give you greater flex:
ibility if you're planning on passing
money to your children. In fact, if
your children inherit an IRA, they
can stretch withdrawals over a long
period of time - over their entire life
spans, if they choose - rather than
take the money as a lump sum.
Obviously, this ability can help
them control their taxes and their
income streams.
If you do decide to move your
401(k) to an IRA, make sure to
request a "trustee-to-trustee" trans-
fer. The money will then be moved
directly to an IRA, minimizing the
risk of mistakes and keeping your
money invested the entire time.
Before making any moves with
your 401(k), consult with your tax
and financial advisors. By choos-
ing the right path for your indi-
vidual needs, you'll help yourself
on your long-term journey toward
your important financial goals.
