Slaters Dani Fey Signs With Penn Stateby Larry Cory
Bangor senior Dani Fey has had a very gratifying year. This past spring she was a member of Bangor’s greatest softball team in school history and just recently she was named homecoming queen. Wednesday, she signed a National Letter of Intent to play Division One softball starting in 2017 at Penn State University during a press conference held in the Bangor High School library. Fey said playing with the Nittany Lions was a “dream come true.” She also thanked everyone for being 'so supportive." Fey helped led the Slaters to their best season in school history last spring by batting .507 with 17 extra-base hits, including seven home runs. She scored 30 runs, had 42 RBI’s and was second team Colonial League, first-team Morning Call All-Area, 2016 Lehigh Valley Live All-Area First Team, and a second team All-State selection. She played first base for the Slaters (24-3) last spring when they won the Colonial League and District XI AAA championships. They advanced to the state tournament soundly defeating Jersey Shore before losing to Lampeter-Strasburg and finishing among the top eight Class AAA teams in the state, a fete never before achieved by a Bangor softball team. Last year she also had a .530 on-base-percentage, .986 slugging average and a 1.516 OPS (on base plus slugging). According to Max PREPs, her stats are well above the national average.

7 Social Security Facts
You Need to Know
(BPT) - Planning ahead and getting an accurate picture of your options may be key to getting the most out of your retirement. However, a survey commissioned by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual) aimed to better understand how much Americans know about Social Security retirement benefits suggests many may be leaving Social Security retirement benefits they're entitled to on the table, or incorrectly assuming what benefits may be available in retirement. Here are some the most common questions and answers for people of all ages:
My spouse can qualify for Social Security retirement benefits, even if he or she has no earnings history. True! Many spouses choose to stay at home to raise children or otherwise spend extended periods of time outside the paid workforce. This can affect a spouse's ability to qualify for Social Security benefits. In such cases, the spouse who earns less may be eligible for a Social Security spousal benefit. A spousal benefit can be as much as 50 percent of the higher earning spouse's full retirement age benefit. The exact percentage will depend on whether or not each spouse has reached his or her full retirement age.
As a divorced person, I can collect Social Security retirement benefits based on my ex-spouse's earnings history. True! You may be eligible to receive retirement benefits based on your ex-spouse's earnings record, provided your marriage lasted at least 10 years, you are currently unmarried, you are at least 62 years old and the benefit you would receive based on your personal earnings history is less than the benefit amount you would receive if you filed for benefits based on your ex-spouse's earnings record. If your ex-spouse has not yet applied for retirement benefits, but qualified for them, you can collect benefits based on his or her record provided that you have been divorced for at least two years.
Under current Social Security Law, full retirement age is 65. False! Your full retirement age is based on the year you were born. For people born between 1943 and 1954, the full retirement age is 66. If you were born in 1960 or later, the full retirement age is 67. For anyone born between 1955 and 1959, the full retirement age increases gradually.
Once I start collecting Social Security, my benefit payments will never change. False! The Social Security Act of 1973 included a provision for cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) to help Social Security benefits account for inflation. Each year, the Social Security Administration uses specific indexes and formulas mandated by this legislation to determine whether a COLA will apply to benefits paid in the coming year and if so, how much the increase will be.
If I file for retirement benefits and have minor dependent children, they also may qualify for Social Security benefits. True! When you file for Social Security retirement benefits, your children may also qualify to receive benefits based on your record. An eligible child can be your biological child, adopted child or stepchild. A dependent grandchild may also qualify. Normally, benefits stop when children reach age 18 unless they are disabled. However, if the child is still a full-time student at a secondary school at age 18, benefits will continue until the child graduates or until two months after the child becomes age 19, whichever is first.
I must be a U.S. citizen to collect Social Security retirement benefits. False! You do not have to be a U.S. citizen to qualify for Social Security retirement benefits. Resident aliens who pay into the Social Security system may qualify to receive retirement benefits, assuming they earn enough credits and meet additional criteria. To become part of the Social Security system, non-U.S. citizens must have lawful alien status, permission by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to work in the U.S. and a Social Security Number.
I can continue working while collecting my full Social Security retirement benefits - regardless of my age. False! You can work and receive Social Security retirement benefits. However, if you have not reached full retirement age, your earnings will be subject to the retirement earnings test. If your income exceeds the test limit, Social Security may withhold all or a portion of your benefits. Withheld benefits are repaid over your lifetime once you reach full retirement age.
Final decisions about Social Security filing strategies always rest with you and should always be based on your specific needs and health considerations. It is important to acquire as much information as possible in order to make an informed Social Security claiming decision because one year after the Social Security claiming decision is made, it cannot be changed.

5 Easy Ways Guys Can Plan
the Perfect Vacation
(BPT) - When it comes to vacation planning, Clark Griswold has given guys everywhere a bad name. The first National Lampoon's Vacation movie saw his plans to bring his family to Walley World fall apart at every turn. Then his planned trip to Europe was a disaster. He couldn’t even plan a simple family Christmas without it becoming a complete catastrophe. Now the holidays are coming up once again for you and you want to plan your own vacation. It doesn’t have to follow the Griswold script. Just follow these five guidelines below and you’ll be able to enjoy your vacation without the comedy or the tragedy.
1. Think events before time. Many vacation planners focus right away on how many days they will be gone and fill their time based on this. Why? The days aren’t the most important element, it’s what you’re doing that defines a great vacation. Start your plans by determining everything you want to do and then set aside the time necessary to make all of it happen.
2. Take the initiative. Don’t let Clark Griswold’s foiled plans stop you. You can plan an amazing vacation and research shows your significant other would appreciate it if you did. Ninety percent of women said they would be happy if their partner did any of the travel planning according to the Travel MANager Weekend Escape Artist survey, conducted by Wakefield Research. Surprise your significant other by planning all of the details for a spontaneous holiday trip using the Travel MANager microsite, an online platform that provides men with advice, resources and tools to plan the perfect trip. Travel MANager offers you professional advice from expert travel bloggers, original research and trip itinerary suggestions all in one digital hub so you can plan efficiently.
3. Budget everything. You may not know what every aspect of your trip will cost, but it’s good to have an idea before you go. Having a rough outline of the expenses you’ll incur will prevent you from having to forgo any activities or getting that surprisingly high bill at trip’s end.
4. Find the right hotel. When you're on vacation, your hotel room is your home away from home so pick a good one to fit your needs. Look for a hotel that allows you to spread out and have a little space. This is especially true if you're traveling with kids who will appreciate the space to play and rest. Homewood Suites by Hilton, for example offers large, spacious suites perfect for you and your family and friends to spread out after an exhilarating day.
5. Save the best for last. The final day of many trips is simply reserved for traveling back home. Instead of subscribing to this tired mantra, save your last day for the thing you wanted to do most. You’ll leave your trip on a high note with plenty of amazing memories, and you’ll be more apt to stick to your schedule if it preserves your most coveted activity.
Great holiday trips don’t just plan themselves, and the more planning you do ahead of time, the less likely you are to have the mishaps that would make your story truly screen worthy. To learn more about how Travel MANager can help you plan your holiday trip, visit mencanplantravel.com.

Brunch With The Author
The Friends of the Bangor Public Library will host their Fall “Brunch with the Author” on Saturday, November 12th @ 10:00 AM. Local author, Anna Maria Caldera will be the featured author. She will be presenting. Sherwood Anderson on Life and Writing. This is Anna’s tenth book and one that pays homage to her favorite author, Sherwood Anderson (1876-1941). Anderson was a chronicler of the common person during the post- Civil War industrialization of America. A recurring theme was the effect of factories on farmers whose connection to the land had been severed. While popular magazines, novels, and screen plays of the day upheld the wealthy as the subjects of greatest interest, Anderson’s literary output focused on the lowly. Ms. Caldara will familiarize the audience with Anderson’s work and his advice to writers.
The event is free, but donations will be accepted. Registration for attendance is required by calling the library at 610-588-4136. The library is located at 39 South Main Street, Bangor, PA. For additional information contact: Karen Brewer @ 610-588-8615.
