    he saying about thesilver lining in the cloudcould describe AngeloMs pathway to his musiccareer to a T. Hes asinger and songwriterwho performs on guitar,

    mandolin, Dobro and harp. Hes also

    a stellar example of one who makeslemonade from lemons and creates athriving second career later in life.

    Today hes a respected Lancaster-area blues musician with a loyal localand national following and has foundhis niche in this second career. etransition from steelworker to musicianwasnt an easy one, but starting anothercareer later in life is something manypeople can identify with. ey also

    identify with his folksy songs thatfeature a slice of Americana.Angelo M (his surname is Melasecca)

    is originally from the Philadelphia area.e youngest of four boys, all of hisbrothers were teenagers before he couldwalk, so he grew up listening to themusic playing on their radios. Althoughno one else in his family really playedan instrument when he was growing up,

    Angelos 94-year-old dad is a self-taught

    harmonica player, who learned theinstrument later in his life. Dad alwayswanted someone to play the organ,he recalls. However, Angelo took aninterest in the guitar when he waseight-years old.

    He worked in a steel mill for nearly30 years. With his pension ve monthsaway, he dreamed of a retirement thatincluded traveling and taking up long-forgotten hobbies that included playing

    the guitar. e companys suddenbankruptcy meant not only the lossof his job, but also the pension. ecompany was bought out, and since ithad been a union shop, he and a numberof his co-workers could keep their jobsbecause of the contract, but they wouldhave to start over with their pensions.

    I was 48 at that time. I liked my joband music was my hobby I played atsome local clubs. I really looked long and

    hard at my life and what I wanted from

    life. I really didnt want to start over

    again. Many of my co-workers didnthave a choice, but I had the option ofmusic and it seemed to be the right timeto do something, he explains.

    So he shifted gears and fell back onhis music. He not only stepped up hisperformance schedule, but he also beganwriting. With what I had been through,what else could I do but write a bluessong he says with a smile.

    His wife, Jody Murphy, is also his

    manager. e two share a love of music.ey met in the 90s at the PhiladelphiaFolk Festival. She encouraged him toexpand into writing songs as well asperforming. His guitar inuences comefrom legends such as Ry Cooder, Chet

    so many entertainers theres musiceverywhere and theres so much energy.Its a great place to get a lot of experienceas a performer and to have fun doing it,he says.

    And he says that Lancaster is anamazing place for music there are lots

    of clubs and bars that oer live music.He credits the Lancaster DispensingCompany (known as DipCo by those inthe music scene) with helping boost hiscareer, and he returns there to performperiodically. I love playing small,intimate places you really get the feelof the audience, he says.

    Hes performed several times onNational Public Radios River City Folk.

    1. Early IRA

    withdrawals and

    401(k) distributions

    Withdrawals from IRAsbefore age 59 1/2 are

    generally subject to a 10

    percent early withdrawalpenalty. However, this

    penalty may be avoided if

    substantially equal periodicpayments are taken from the

    IRA based on life expectancy

    for at least ve years, or

    until age 59 1/2, whicheveris longer. The same early

    withdrawal penalty generallyapplies to withdrawalsfrom 401(k) plans that are

    made before age 59 1/2.

    However, individuals whoare at least 55 years of age

    when leaving a job can

    begin to take penalty-freedistributions from a 401(k),

    although federal and stateincome taxes will still be due

    upon withdrawal.

    2. Minimum IRA

    distributions

    Minimum distributions must

    be made from Individual

    Retirement Accounts (IRAs)by April 1 of the year after

    individuals turn 70 1/2years old. Withdrawals

    must begin by December 31

    of this year and continueeach year thereafter. The

    penalty for failing to take

    minimum IRA distributions

    is 50 percent of the amountthat should have been

    withdrawn.

    3. Timing of receiving

    Social Security benets

    Currently, you may elect

    to begin receiving Social

    Security benets as early as

    age 62. However, you willreceive a larger payment

    each month if you wait until

    your full retirement age of67 (if you were born after

    1959) and an even larger

    monthly payment still if youwait until age 70 to begin

    receiving benets.

    4. Enrolling in

    Medicare Part B

    Currently, Americans areeligible to enroll in Medicare

    at age 65. Once eligible,

    though, you must enroll inMedicare Part B (which

    covers outpatient servicesand doctors appointments)

    within three months of your

    65th birthday. Otherwise,a late-enrollment penalty

    may apply that would

    boost the premium amount

    by 10 percent for eachyear thats delayed.

    Note that thispenalty is waived

    for individuals whomaintain health

    insurance through anemployer (or a spouses

    employer). However,it is retroactive ifenrollment is not

    completed within therequired time frameafter this coverage

    terminates.

    Given the potentiallong-term nancial impact

    of these and other decisions,

    it may be advisable to seekprofessional assistance from

    a nancial planner and/or

    tax expert in making them.

    Important

    decisions forretirees andnear-retireesTe years immediately precedingretirement, and the rst couple of yearsof actual retirement, are a critical time forindividuals.

    One o the mostannoying thingsabout being aBoomer is theadded worries,the addedconcerns, the

    dded stuf that we have tohink about now. I understandhat with our added years

    comes added lie to thoseears. And I do know therere details that have to be

    considered with everything.e have jobs, mortgages, kids,

    pouses, relatives and gymemberships. Were grown-ups.

    But or Petes sake, just when

    DID everything get so darnedcomplicated? And does it really

    ave to be that way?

    Im not talking aboutwanting to return to childhoodand only having homeworkto think about though,honestly, there are days whenthat is tempting. And Im nottalking about not having anyresponsibilities at all. Weve

    always had responsibilities.And thats good because itsthose responsibilities that makeour lie richer. I understandthat. But somehow, to me, inour Baby Boomer years, ourresponsibilities have gottenbigger, more serious andmore intense.

    ake or example, health.O course we are going to allhave more health issues aswe get older. But or many ous Baby Boomers, now is thetime when it really starts tohit the an. With each passingbirthday routine physical testsand exams get a little more uh physical. And that littleache, pain or bump is no longernecessarily just that little ache,

    pain or bump that will go awayon its own. Now its a rupture,rip, break, or tumor ... needing

    treatment, surgery, rehab andrecovery time.

    Concerns or our childrenhave also gotten bigger. Toughat the time it didnt seem thisway, I remember when mychildren were small their liedetails were also really very

    small, just like they were. Ocourse there were worries, butsomehow the worries seemedmuch simpler and much moremanageable then. I rememberas a young mother one o mybiggest concerns was makingsure I had a purple shirt readyor my daughter to wear onpurple day at preschool. Fastorward to the present and theteenage years and now I have tothink about sex, drugs and rockand roll. And thats just onthe internet.

    Years ago problems with ourparents would climax aroundthe holidays when we had tocoordinate where we werevisiting and or how long.Whose turn is it this year? Ourbiggest worry revolved aroundhow we were going to make it

    over the river and through thewoods on time without tickinganyone of. Now with agingparents we have to managescary health issues, ailingmemories, nursing homes, andtaking dads car keys away.

    Te United States just had

    a very important presidentialelection and most Americanswere seriously caught up in it.I was no diferent. I comparedboth candidates, I watched thedebates, I watched interviewsand I read a great dealabout them.

    While gathering all thisinormation, it got me thinking

    about how the issues thatare important to me now areprobably very diferent romthe ones I thought about in mytwenties. At the age o 50, whileconsidering the two candidates,my mind went to the economy,healthcare and social security. Ithought really hard about thiscountry, what we stand or andabout my childrens uture. Andyes, I worried about who ournext president would be. I spent

    a tense election night with JaneDoe and some other Boomerswaiting or the results tocome in.

    I was proud o my 50-year-oldsel or taking it all so seriouslyand or being knowledgeableo the issues. I then tried to

    remember what I thought aboutduring my rst elections when I was in my late teens andearly twenties. Just what wentthrough my head during thosetimes? What was important tome then?

    Ten I remembered aquestion that was asked duringthe MV Enough is Enough

    political orum with PresidentBill Clinton (April 19, 1994)and I got my answer.

    Amid questions about drugsand crime, Bosnia, violencein schools, and teen suicide,one question stood out: Mr.President, the worlds dying toknow: is it boxers or bries?

    There are thousands of

    people who anxiouslyanticipate the arrival

    of winter. Armed

    with gloves and

    boots, these winter

    enthusiasts cant wait to frolic

    in the drifts of snow. Still, there

    are many others who would much

    prefer sipping tropical drinks on

    sun-kissed beaches to freezing

    weather and down-lled coats.

    Once the temperature begins

    to dip, fans of warmer weather

    may begin the anxious dance

    that is trying to nd a winter

    travel excursion. While there are

    some deals to be had, the clever

    traveler is one who begins the

    process as early as possible.

    According to Clem Bason,

    president of Hotwire Group, the

    winter season is ripe with travel

    deals. He oers that the rst few

    weeks of December are the key

    times to get the cheapest fares all

    year long.

    Tis is not the only secret to

    winter travel. Follow these other

    suggestions for saving on your

    next getaway.

    Book early.

    I you know that each year you start toget antsy around the middle o winter,

    then plan annual vacations around this

    time. Make sure you request the time of

    rom work and buy your tickets several

    months beore.

    Know peak travel dates.

    Tere are certain times during the

    winter when you probably will pay a

    premium or travel. Te holiday season

    tends to be the most expensive time totravel during the winter. Be exible with

    travel dates, and you could see your rate

    drop considerably i you travel just a day

    or two later.

    * Sign up or a hotel reward program.

    Chain hotels requently ofer member

    incentives. By signing up or a rewards

    program, you can accrue travel points

    that can be used toward hotel stays and

    other benets. Being loyal to a particularhotel brand can help you collect

    points aster. Plus, some chains ofer

    nonadvertised deals specically to their

    reward members.

    Think about booking a package deal.

    Many resort properties partner with

    car rental companies and airlines to put

    together packages. Packages may be less

    expensive overall than booking each

    individual element separately.

    Look into alternative

    accommodations.When planning a vacation, many

    travelers turn to hotels or their

    accommodations. However there are

    other avenues or afordable rooms.

    Web sites like Vacation Rental By Owner

    (www.vrbo.com) enable individuals

    with rental homes, condominiums or

    timeshares to sublet their properties to

    deal seekers. You may be able to nd an

    afordable place at a raction o the cost

    o comparable hotels in the area.

    Consider a timeshare.

    I you travel at the same time each year

    and want a designated place to stay

    without hassle, timeshares could be the

    ideal situation. A timeshare is typically

    an apartment in a resort property that

    is jointly owned by people who use it at

    diferent times. Sometimes it is possible

    to trade timeshares among others so thatyou can vary or upgrade where you stay.

    Still save with ski trips.

    I youre not jetting of to the tropics but

    in search o the perect powder, land a

    deal by skiing at the beginning or end

    o the season. Also, keep track o the

    conditions at ski resorts. I the weather is

    questionable, you can probably book trips

    at a discount and avoid the crowds. I

    you like the atmosphere o a ski town butdont really like to ski, book a trip prior to

    the rst snowall when you can enjoy the

    The ood cooked

    during the holidays

    is oten enough to

    eed an army. Too

    oten, hosts and

    hostesses prepare

    nd serve much too much ood,

    only to fnd themselves let with

    rerigerator ull o letovershen guests dont eat as much

    s hosts had planned.

    In order to avoid wasting ood,

    any people attempt to create

    ew meals rom their excess

    oliday ingredients. Putting

    etovers to good use can take a

    ittle ingenuity to disguise the

    eality that youre eating turkey

    or ham or the third consecutive

    ight. All it may take is a little

    nspiration to create delicious

    eals with repurposed

    oliday oods.

    e frst thing to keep in

    ind when using letovers is

    ood saety. Any ood remaining

    ter the holiday meal should be

    acked into storage containersnd rerigerated or rozen no

    ore than 2 hours ater the

    eal has ended. is ensures

    hat bacteria are not able to

    rolierate in the ood and

    cause oodborne illnesses.

    Choose shallow containers,

    hich will enable the ood to

    chill more uniormly and not

    create warmer spots that takeonger to reach a sae storage

    emperature. Do not save any

    oods that have remained at

    oom temperature or too long

    or seem questionable, especially

    dairy products. It is adviseable

    o discard letovers (even i

    erigerated) ater 4 days. Use it

    or lose it!

    What to do with all those

    holiday leftovers

    1. Turn stufng into croquettesor burgers by mixing choppedturkey with stufng or adding anew meat to the equation, likesausage.

    2. Dice ham and potatoes andadd to the morning helpingo eggs or a country-styleomelette.

    3. Promptly boil the turkeycarcass to make homemadestock or soups and stews.

    4. Turn letover mashedpotatoes into a creamy potato

    soup, with the addition ocream, bacon and scallions.

    5. Use cranberry sauce in placeo butter on bagelsor toast.

    6. Mash up letover sweet

    potatoes and bake into a moistand delicious sweet potato loabread.

    7. Create open-acedsandwiches or lunch bylayering ham or turkey, stufng,cranberry sauce and gravy ontop o a thick slice o bread.

    8. Diced meats, vegetables andonion can be added to a batter

    o pancake mix and turned intoan easy quiche.

    9.Host Mexican night and useletover turkey meat to makespicy ajitas, complete with sourcream and salsa.

    10.

    Use stale bread to makehomemade croutons or salador use in a bread puddingrecipe.

    11.Add cranberry sauce toboxed mufn mixes or a tarttreat.

    12. Turn letover holiday meatsinto an Asian stir-ry with theaddition o water chestnuts,
