Reform group advocates for immigrants Southwest Suburban Immigrant Project began in 2010 By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

By laura kaTauskas STAFF REPORTER The Power Connection has been providing resources for life, dedicated to empowering people to better their lives by coming into touch with literally thousands of individuals who needed support over the past 10 years. Birthed out of the living water Community Church in august 2003, jerry Basel, who was a pastor there at the time, saw a long line of people needing continual assistance. often times it was because of the absence of proper training needed to apply for jobs that would support their families.

On a quest to build suburban immigrant power, a local reform group is setting its sights on a successful new year, calling on residents to get involved. The Southwest Suburban Immigrant Project began in 2010 as a means to raise awareness of immigrant reform in the suburbs and is growing stronger each year. The nonprofit organization is committed to community organizing for the rights of immigrants in the southwest suburbs through education, civic engagement and advocacy. “As the only such organization in the suburbs, we feel the pressure, but that is why we are so needed,” said Executive Director Jose Vera, a Bolingbrook High School grad. “The immigrant population in the suburbs keeps growing.

News Briefs Manley Commemorating Martin Luther King Jr. Day State Rep. Natalie Manley, D-Joliet, is honoring the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. by volunteering in the community on his commemoration day, Monday, Jan. 20. “Dr. King serves as an ongoing inspiration to all of us involved in public service,” Manley said. “His messages of justice, peace, and equality are still relevant today.” The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. rose to prominence as an instrumental force in the Civil Rights Movement through events including the Montgomery Bus Boycott and alongside other activists like Rosa Parks. Dr. King Jr. was arrested 30 times for his participation in civil rights activities and was tragically shot and killed in 1968. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was officially designated a federal holiday in 1983, and in 1994, Congress designated it as a National Day of Service. Manley will spend her day volunteering through the Community Service Council of Will County’s “A Day On, Not a Day Off” program. She will be spending time with senior citizens in an assisted living facility. Last year, Manley participated through volunteering at United Cerebral Palsy of Illinois Prairieland’s Joliet school disinfecting tables, chairs, and equipment so that students, faculty and physical therapists could continue interacting in an environment that was safe and free of harmful germs. “I encourage others to use this day off from school or work to join me in volunteering in your community, or helping out in your neighborhood,” Manley said. “It is equally important to spend some time reflecting on the teachings of Dr. King and reaching out to collaborate on how we can continually improve our area.” For more information, or to sign up to volunteer through the Community Service Council of Will County, please call 815-7241142, or you may reach Manley’s full-time constituent service office at 815-725-2741 or by email at RepManley@gmail.com.

Military News Army Reserve Pvt. Simon S. Lafromboise Jr. has graduated from basic infantry training at Fort Benning, Columbus, Ga. During the nine weeks of training, the soldier received training in drill and ceremonies, weapons, map reading, tactics, military courtesy, military justice, physical fitness, first aid, and Army history, core values and traditions. Additional training included development of basic combat skills and battlefield operations and tactics, and experiencing use of various weapons and weapons defenses available to the infantry crewman. Lafromboise is the son of Christine and Simon Lafromboise of Bolingbrook. He is a 2013 graduate of Aurora Central Catholic High School.

Brooks Gamers Club members lean on their critical thinking skills Ssssh! Don’t tell these Brooks Middle School students they’re learning something…they’re too busy having fun. Every week several dozen Brooks students get together for an hour after school to play board games. No, not Monopoly, Risk, or Connect Fours.These games have names like Pandemic, Settlers of Catan, and Fluxx. “These games require aspiring cognitive thinkers to really think about what’s going on,” said Brooks Gamers Club CoSponsor Art Barnett, who teaches language arts at the Bolingbrook school.“They don’t realize they’re learning critical thinking skills because they’re just having fun.”

News TEACH Continued from page 1 It was then that the idea for a training center came to be. Basel wanted to allow individuals an opportunity to gain control over their circumstance and exit the cycle of need. Power Connection’s mission is to “Empower People for Life,” and their goal is to offer people the job skills, educational training and the resources for life. Power is an acronym for “Providing Opportunities for Work, Education and Retraining.” After 10 years of serving Bolingbrook and the surrounding communities, the organization has provided training for more than 1,800 individuals and food for more than 3,000 individuals a month. But the mission doesn’t end there. Basel still has a dream of expanding; creating a center that would house several social agencies under one roof, so that an individual could receive training,food,clothing,mortgage help and even housing. “I can’t believe that we’ve been open this long already and things have moved along so fast over the years with us growing exponentially,” said Basel. “We first started with a computer class, then the food pantry and I remember we started to receive a semi truck load of food. It was hard to unload and we needed a forklift. We got the forklift and then thought, why not use it to teach.” And now the organization offers not only computer classes, but also forklift classes and commercial driver’s license classes at a minimal cost, and runs a large food pantry twice a month and a smaller food pantry three times a week in addition to a resale shop. “We want to empower people—to be able to teach them and give them the educational resources for living,” said Basel. “We used to just give people the fish, now we learned to teach them how to fish.” All classes are taught by volunteers, which keeps the cost down. Supporting the organization are about 35 regular full-time volunteers and 20 once-a-month volunteers. Most food is donated from companies and local food drives. But as a faith-based, notfor-profit group, it is supported

solely by private donations and is hosting an upcoming fundraiser to help sustain the organization. The group will be presenting “10 Years in the Making, Time to Celebrate,” its 10th annual dinner auction, at 6 p.m. Jan. 24 at the Bolingbrook Golf Club, 2001 Rodeo Drive. The semiformal-attire event will include a silent auction, Chinese auction, live auction, raffles, games with prizes, dinner and dancing. Ticket prices are $45 each or $80 per couple. Purchase nine tickets, and get one free.Tickets can be purchased online at www.thepowerconnection.org or call 630-679-6899. “I see firsthand their ‘good works’ in Bolingbrook,” said Carol Penning. “Jerry Basel, his wife Trudy, their staff and community volunteers have done an excellent job keeping the Power Connection open through the years. Their mission to help people in need

Panel OKs tweaks in open burning ordinance Committee had considered restricting open burning to 100 feet from another person’s property, but decided to stay at 50 feet By Nick Reiher Managing Editor

After feeling as though she was blown off by Will County officials, it’s onward and upward for Mary Ann Buonadonna of New Lenox in her battle to limit open burning. After seven months of working with the County Board’s Public Health and Safety Committee, Buonadonna conceded the county made some good changes to its open burning ordinance … but not enough. For a time, the committee had considered restricting open burning to 100 feet from another person’s property. But after concerns by the Will County Farm Bureau, the committee opted to keep the distance at 50 feet. However, the new regulations, which still must be approved by the full County Board on Jan. 16, says that “fires shall be located

WEB LINKS www.willcountyillinois.com/

not less than 1000 feet, unless otherwise specifically provided for herein, from any school, park, hospital, nursing home and/ or residence of a person with a Chronic Respiratory Disease. For the purposes of this ordinance, agricultural properties are exempt from the 1000 feet setback if the property is used for agricultural purposes.” Buonadonna has told county officials she has breathing problems exacerbated by open burning in the fall. While she is located in an incorporated village, burning from neighbors who are in an unincorporated area covered by county government often keeps her inside.

“I am a pediatric nurse,” she said following the County Board’s Jan. 9 Public Health meeting. “I have seen a lot of children come in with breathing problems.” She told the committee five states have adopted bans on people smoking in cars where children are present.Those states are Arkansas, California, Louisiana, Maine and Oregon, as well as Puerto Rico. Already striking out at the township level and getting only little help at the county level, Buonadonna said she is ready to approach state officials to see if they can help. The county’s opening burning regulations also say: •Waste materials of any nature shall not be disposed of by burning on the premises or in the immediate vicinity without having obtained a permit from the state or the state Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). •Open burning of leaves, branches or bushes shall be conducted on the owner’s property or farm on which the leaves, branches or bushes were generated and within the

provisions of this Ordinance. •Fires shall be located not less than 50 feet, unless otherwise specifically provided for herein, from any motor vehicle and any structure with adequate provision made to prevent spreading of the fire. No fire shall exceed six feet by six feet. Only one fire, which is not contained in a patio burning unit, shall exist on the property at any given time •Fires shall be located not less than 1,000 feet, unless otherwise specifically provided for herein, from any school, park, hospital, nursing home and/ or residence of a person with a Chronic Respiratory Disease. For the purposes of this ordinance, agricultural properties are exempt from the 1,000 feet setback if the property is used for agricultural purposes. •Legitimate recreation fires shall be located not less than 50 feet from any structure. •Burning within 20 feet from the edge of any public roadway is strictly prohibited. •Fires contained in a “patio wood-burning unit,” shall be at least 15 feet from any structure.

•No open burning shall take place during drought conditions as determined by the National Weather Service. •All fires shall be constantly attended by a competent person of 18 years or older until such fire is extinguished. This person shall have an adequate water supply or other fire extinguishing equipment ready for use. This person shall be responsible for notifying the local fire department if the fire becomes out of control. A fire shall be considered extinguished when smoke ceases emitting from the burn pile. •Prior to burning, all leaves, branches, or bushes must be dried in such a manner not to cause continuous smoldering. Dead native planting vegetation on a residential property shall be removed from the soil prior to burning according to the burn ordinance. Section 93.017 also does not apply to controlled burns for agricultural purposes, habitat reclamation, firefighter training. •The Sheriff’s Office of the county and other applicable enforcement departments shall enforce this subchapter.

Two men caught after YouTube video sparks robbing couple at gunpoint police investigation Officers recovered the firearm, a Smith and Wesson .40 caliber handgun Two men are in custody after robbing a Bolingbrook couple at gunpoint Friday morning on the 400 block of Boughton Road. Bolingbrook Lt. Mike Rompa reported that, two men entered the victim’s vehicle and ultimately attempted to rob them at 10:07 a.m. Jan. 10. A struggle ensued and the offenders fled in their vehicle. The female victim was pushed to the ground but no shots were reportedly fired.

Patrol officers located Dimaris Smith, 19, after a traffic stop on a vehicle on Granada Court. Further investigation revealed the identity of the gunman, who fled, as Keondre Crumpton, 19. Officers were able to link Crumpton to a residence on the 200 block of Granada Court, where they secured the area around the residence until a detective was able to convince Crumpton to exit the residence without incident.

All of the involved were transported to the police department and interviewed. Smith was arrested and charged with armed robbery. Crumpton was charged with armed robbery, unlawful use of a weapon, no firearms owner’s identification card and defacing identification marks on a firearm. Officers recovered the firearm, a Smith and Wesson .40 caliber handgun. Smith and Crumpton were transported to the Will County Adult Detention Facility. The incident remains under investigation.

Horoscopes Like Goldilocks, your complaints might be “this one is too big and this one is too small” in the week ahead. Loved ones might remind you to focus on saving money, especially when you brashly act on competitive impulses.

Focus your attention on the people who love you unconditionally, not just those who only love you when the conditions are just right. During the upcoming week, you may be thrifty and unwilling to accept less than the best.

There is definitely a law of attraction. In the week ahead, you’ll learn that like attracts like, so sometimes someone at odds with you will seem familiar. You can’t however blame yourself if you’re a victim of someone else’s agenda.

Get real. You can realign your perspective this week if you acknowledge and accept responsibility for your judgments. You’re faking it if you pretend they don’t exist or that you always maintain a nonjudgmental attitude.

Events in the week ahead may remind you that you attract what you put forth. For instance, if you do your best at every facet of your job or watch your diet you’ll enjoy peace of mind when all the minor details are in place.

In the week ahead, concentrate on relocating your thoughts from the abstract to the tangible. You can take practical steps for further development of your creative talents. If you’re passionate about something, move forward.

When you’re confident of your worth, it’s not necessary to struggle to prove your value to others. In the week ahead, don’t get carried away by self-doubts. Your success depends on selfdiscipline not self-sacrifice.

You might aspire to become proficient in some aspect of teaching or entertainment in the week ahead. Your passion for some idea or learning project can make you a leader or earn some unexpected recognition.

Be honest in situations in which previously you maintained silence. There may be times this week when you’re tempted to tell a white lie because the facts are embarrassing, but only through the truth can you eradicate awkwardness.

Arguments fade when confronted by abundance. Your life is filled with opportunities and possibilities, so your biggest challenge is to choose which one to embrace. In the week ahead, apply logic to make wise choices.

As the week unfolds, you may realize that some problems you’ve been dealing with at work or with your health are due to matters outside your control. Other problems, however, are within your control if you persevere.

While each person possesses a gift, some have refined and polished their abilities. Facing aggressiveness or defensiveness from others can improve your talents in the week to come. Like a pearl, it takes abrasions to shine.

Johnson part of Swoops’ first class By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

Ryaen Johnson is in her first season at Bolingbrook after she transferred in from Waubonsie Valley prior to the beginning of this season. The 6-foot, 2-inch forward averaged 11 points, nine rebounds and two blocks per game last season for the Warriors and prior to playing her first game as a Raider had signed a National Letter of Intent to play next season at Loyola University in Chicago. Johnson joins Katie Salmon (Wauwatosa, Wis.), Destiny Washington (Indianapolis, Ind.) and Cortney Williams (Southfield, Mich.) as members of new coach Sheryl Swoops. Swoops is an NCAA champion, a four-time WNBA champion, and three-time Olympic gold medalist, who ended her professional playing career in 2011. “This day could not come soon enough for me,” Swoopes said in a release on Loyola’s website. “I am extremely excited about my first signing class as a new head coach. My staff did a great job of recognizing our immediate needs and finding the best players to fill those spots. Ryaen, Destiny, Cortney, and Katie are

not only great basketball players, but they are terrific young ladies as well. All of these players will be expected to come in and make an immediate impact. We felt there were two areas we really needed to improve on to not only compete in the Missouri Valley, but to also give ourselves a chance to advance to the NCAA tournament, size and athleticism, and we feel we accomplished both of those with this class. “Ryaen will be a huge presence for us inside on both the offensive and defensive ends of the floor. She is athletic and brings a great work ethic.” Johnson said she is excited to be in the first-ever recruiting class of Swoops. “I have thought about it. I was thinking about it just the other day,” Johnson said. “She is a legend. She was at the game at the Hillcrest Tournament and I was nervous and I wanted to go hard.There was a lot of pressure, but I feel that I can overcome that. With playing for someone like that it is just about playing hard. “It is an honor coming from someone like her. It makes you want to go hard just because of who she is.

Raiders battling through injuries By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

At the beginning of the season, the Bolingbrook wrestling team was battling several injuries that it was unsure if it would get any better. It hasn’t. At the Lincoln-Way Central mega quad Saturday, the Raiders had several holes in the lineup that were forfeited wins to their opponent. “We forfeited about half the matches today and that has to do with injuries,” said Bolingbrook coach Dan Bulivant. “We thought we would have some guys back earlier and some of the injuries

turned out to be more significant. Our 220 pounder is still out with an ankle and he should be back next week. Victor Armond, our 182 pounder, we thought he had a separated shoulder and it turned out his labrum was torn, so he has three more weeks.” To add illness to injury, Elijah Bavaro, the No. 2 ranked wrestler in the state at 132 pounds as ranked by IllinoisMatmen.com was out Saturday with the flu, while Jaime Vega wrestled one match and fell sick as well. “Not only do we have injures, now we have a couple of kids sick during flu season,” Bullivant said. See RAIDERS, page 13

John O’Brien and the Raiders are battling through injuries this season.

Sports RAIDERS Continued from page 12 Normally, the Raiders have promoted younger wrestlers to the varsity level in order to fill out the lineup. However, Saturday, Bolingbrook hosted a junior varsity individual tournament that Bullivant felt would be a more beneficial venue for his younger wrestlers. “We have been subbing underclassmen in the lineup where we have been lean, bit I just can’t keep putting them out there,” he said. “We had a big JV tournament today and I can’t keep putting kids on the mat that can’t compete at this level.We are going to do the best we can and finish strong here at the end of the year. “Clarence Golden is back in the lineup (after missing the beginning of the season with a broken hand). He didn’t wrestle today because this is his first week back in the lineup. He has wrestled in one varsity match this year coming off a finger injury and he lost in overtime.We elected to leave him at the JV tournament to get his

conditioning in. He has only had a few practices and I didn’t want to bring him to a mega dual with these quality, high caliber teams.” Bullivant said he has been impressed with attitude of the young wrestlers who are being asked to fill varsity holes. “To the younger kids credit that have stepped up, they have a lot of guts,” he said. “There are times when we wanted to put them down at the lower level and they want to give it another shot, so I commend them on that.” With all the injuries, the Raiders have all but abandoned the team aspect of the matches and is focusing on getting the healthy wrestlers better. “We are not looking at team score, we are just looking at getting individuals better and the guys know that and have an understanding of that,” Bullivant said. “The improvements that we have made this year with horses we have had has been outstanding. It has been a trying season both on us and on the kids. There are a lot of positive things to look at this year, but we have definitely taken our licks this season.” Some of the positives are seeing the wrestlers who are in the

lineup improving. “On an up note, Titus Wonsey has been outstanding this year,” Bullivant said. “He is a kid that did not win a varsity match last year as a freshman and this year as a sophomore, he has a better than .500 record. He is by far our most improved wrestler this year. Andrew Collins has been wrestling outstanding. He is the senior in the group that has really stepped up with a lot of leadership. Mitch Murray is another guy that struggled on varsity last year as a sophomore, but he is above .500 now as a junior.We are looking to have him around 20 wins at the end of the season.” Wonsey said he prepared in the offseason to be ready for his second year on varsity. “I did a lot of offseason training and I try and work out every day and watch what I eat,” he said. Wonsey said he understands the change in focus this season on getting better as an individual with the lack of depth in the lineup. “That is the best part of this sport because we can compete as an individual,” he said. “This year, we have to go big or go home pretty much.” mark@buglenewspapers.com

Mistwood earns praise from GOLF Magazine After two years of course construction that resulted in a substantial face-lift, owner Jim McWethy looks upon Mistwood Golf Club in suburban Chicago with satisfaction and pride because the golf world has noticed. GOLF Magazine has awarded Mistwood with its “Best U.S. Renovation You Can Play” honors for 2013. The recognition comes as part of GOLF Magazine’s annual Best New Courses 2013, which is published in the January 2014 issue. The article features the top new courses and renovations both in the U.S. and internationally. “It is a tremendous honor to be selected as the Best U.S. Renovation You Can Play by GOLF Magazine and to be recognized alongside so many great courses,” McWethy said. “We wanted to elevate Mistwood into the ranks of the best courses in the Midwest, and this award is a testament to the vision and quality of work that architect Ray Hearn and our team performed on this project. I could not be more proud of what we have accomplished.” GOLF Magazine concurred in its appraisal with the selection. “The result? Mission accomplished. Mistwood may have been young for a facelift, but this beauty is ready for its close-up,” the magazine reported. The magazine also talked about Hearn winning the same renovation award for his work at Chicago’s historic Flossmoor Country Club in 2009. Hearn, who has a strong reputation for his course and renovation work, first completed

the Mistwood project in 1998. Thirteen years later the course was ready for some upgrades

and improvements. “We fine-tuned and polished a gem,” Hearn said.

Renovation work was performed on every one of Mistwood’s 18-holes, with

a focus on improving shot value and strategy. The most noticeable was at the par-5 third hole where the green has been relocated to create space for a future clubhouse and a double fairway for risk-reward. The creek that used to be in front of the green is now behind it, and it has been expanded with a pond guarding the entire right side of the hole. Mistwood’s renovation also included the addition of 20 stacked sod-wall bunkers, a trademark hazard for courses in Scotland and Ireland, and now a signature feature at Mistwood. Many of the courses’ lakes and bodies of water were See MISTWOOD, page 16

an offensive threat. “She is playing a thousand times better (than when she played for Smith in AAU as a junior) but she still hasn’t reached her potential yet,” Smith said. “She has never been in a situation where she was forced to score a lot. I am going to force her the ball down low. I am going to force her to finish around the basket and I am going to make her a part of

the offense. I told her she will become an offensive player. She is going to become a force and I am going to force her to do that until she is comfortable with it. “She has the opportunity to go over there and play for coach Swoops. The type of player that Sheryl Swoops was, she is going to expect that type of play out of her players.” Coming to Bolingbrook as a transfer with a new head coach

and only a couple players with varsity experience has taught Johnson to adjust to new situations. “This has been a big learning process, especially coming to a team that is very young,” she said. “It has been a challenge, but we can grow from this every game. This is like what we will see in college, learning a different coaching staff and it will help us. Every system is

different. It can be fun and can be a challenge and I am ready for the challenge at each level.” Johnson said she still has plans she wants to finish at this level before going to college. “We want to make our mark before we leave high school,” she said. “College is another level and when you are there, you want to know what you did in high school.” mark@buglenewspapers.com

Winters puts spring into DGN’s offense By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

Senior guard Sarah Costello and junior guard Jaida Green are considered the Trojans’ go-to players on offense, but if Peyton Winters continues to have games like she did Saturday night at York, she’ll make an already formidable Downers North team even more dangerous. Winters, the Trojans’ 6-2 forward, scored 16 of her gamehigh 20 points in the first half to lift Downers North past the Dukes, 54-41, in DGN’s first West Suburban Silver contest since Dec. 20. “We want to get her actively involved in our offense, absolutely,” said DGN head coach Stephan Bolt, whose team has won three in a row and 10 of its last 11. “When you can go inside to her, and have a presence in the lane like Peyton is doing now, it makes things a lot easier in the perimeter and I think the kids did a great job. It may have been our best job all year looking inside constantly throughout the game.” The Trojans were doing such a good job of getting the ball to Winters inside that the junior collected 12 points in the first quarter alone. “I thought it was a really good game for us as a team offensively, and I think when we have more of an insideoutside game it definitely helps us get better shots,” Winters said.“If I’m having a good game and they (teammates) feed me (inside) it works out well for us. If I’m not having a good game, then I can kick it out and they get shots.” Meanwhile, DGN stormed out to an 18-0 lead following a Lauren Porcelli layup, and the Dukes didn’t scored their first points until six minutes had elapsed in the period. The Trojans held a commanding 22-4 advantage at quarter’s end. “I think it was one of the

best first quarters we’ve had all season,” Bolt said. “I think defensively we were solid and we moved the ball and didn’t turn it over.” York never got closer than 12 points the rest of the game. DGN led 30-15 at half time and 45-24 after three quarters. “I think we were just really ready to play today,” Winters said. “We were really focusing on getting stops on defense before we go and try to make something happen on offense.” Green added 15 points for the Trojans, but what’s interesting is that DGN’s offense remained effective despite Costello sitting out half of both the second and third quarters due to foul trouble. Costello ended up with seven points. “It’s nice to have plenty of options for scoring,” Winters said. “We have people on our team who can score if someone’s in foul trouble so that’s been a big help.” Earlier last week, the Trojans faced non-conference opponent Glenbrook South in their first matchup since competing in the Wheaton North Bill Neibch Falcon Classic, where they placed third. DGN won the game, 46-38, with Green scoring 14 and Costello 12. Costello also had seven rebound and six steals, and Winters registered eight points, 10 rebounds and four blocked shots. The Trojans went up against two conference teams, Hinsdale Central and Lyons Township, during the Neibch tourney. They knocked off the Lions for third place, but lost to the Red Devils—a club they defeated in WSS action on Dec. 14. “It was nice to win our last game (in the Neibch tournament),” Bolt said. “We were disappointed to lose against Hinsdale but we’ll see them again (Jan. 31) and if anything else, it gives us an attitude that we need to get after it for conference in the second half (of the season).”

Lauren Porcelli goes to the basket in Downers North’s 54-41 win over York.

The Trojans (14-2, 5-0) are off until Saturday when they host Hinsdale South at the DGN Winter Classic. The two squads tip off at 11:30 a.m. “I think we have to continue

to get better,” Bolt said. “We can’t have stretches where we continue to give up offensive rebounds like we did and turn over the ball like we did (in the third quarter vs. York). Great

teams don’t do that, but I think if we continually get better and keep working, we’ll still be even better by the end of the season.” mike@buglenewspapers.com

Bring workplace ‘flakes’ into line by penalties Q. I have several customers and coworkers who are last-minute change artists. They are constantly changing meetings, projects and plans at the last minute and expect me to just adapt. My job is becoming chaotic and stressful because of their changes. What can I do? A.You can ask yourself if you’ve created any concrete downsides for your annoying last-minute change artists. You can always count on people to do what is in their perceived best interest. If people around you keep changing plans it is because they don’t see a downside to their flakey behavior. The business world has become chaotic and fast paced enough that many people end up just chasing the latest shiny bauble. People often don’t look at the long-range consequence of changing their minds and plans every five seconds to run after what they just saw. They certainly don’t consider the fallout to other people!

Social scientists have even proposed that Americans seem to have cultural Attention Deficit Disorder where we can’t focus on the same thing for one minute. You will need to make it clear that if people around you keep changing their minds, they will miss out on something valuable with you. Make a list of behavior you’d like to see from customers or coworkers on the left side of a paper. Make a list of consequences you could bring to bear if people don’t keep commitments to you on the right. Brainstorm consequences such as: if they don’t show up at a meeting, then you can’t include them in an important project; if they cancel a meeting last minute, then you won’t be available for another two weeks. Remember if these flakey folks don’t have any pain in changing their minds, you will get no gain in them changing their behavior. Many of my clients like to argue at this point that it isn’t right that people don’t keep

WEB LINKS www.interpersonaledge.com

commitments. They then brood over deep questions like what the world is coming to and why people have no integrity. Pondering these sorts of abstract questions is philosophically interesting but of no practical use. Get creative in communicating the consequences to people neutrally in both conversation and writing. Skip the part where you let them know how rude and inconsiderate they are if you want change. Stick to the part where you point out factually what they will lose if they don’t keep future commitments. Put all that energy you could use venting into making it more likely people around you will be thoughtful and you’ll be much happier. Remember, the goal here isn’t to wait until the entire world changes for you to be well. The goal is to change the world around you so you can have a peaceful less stressful work life now.

Make a list of behavior you’d like to see from customers or coworkers on the left side of a paper. Make a list of consequences you could bring to bear if people don’t keep commitments to you on the right. As Janice Joplin so accurately observed, “Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose.” Make it clear that people you deal with must balance their desire for complete freedom with the goodies they get from commitments they make to you. Then, sit back and watch these former flakes follow through.

The last word(s) Q. Why do people get so mad at each other at work? Don’t they realize these same people will just get even with them? A. Yes, but the luxury of immediately expressing their rage tends to win over

long-term benefits of feeling angry and acting effectively. Impulse control over anger in the workplace is rare.

Seniors retire smart

financial resolution: Do something In the new year, focus on setting and accomplishing secure financial goals By Jill Schlesinger Tribune Content Agency

Who wants to remember bad milestones? Do we really need to go back five years, when the S&P 500 closed out the disastrous 2008 at 903.25? Most of us would prefer to focus on the fact that the index has more than doubled since those dark days. Still, it can be instructive to be mindful of the lessons from that painful period. According to Allianz Life Insurance Company’s 5th annual New Year’s Resolution Survey, “many Americans seem to have forgotten the trauma it [the financial crisis] caused to their portfolios and may now have a false sense of security about their current financial wellbeing.” This is human nature and behavioral economists even have a name for it: “recency bias,” which means that what has occurred in the near past tends to inform how we feel and what we do today. The problem with recency bias is that it can push us into making emotional decisions at the wrong time. So at the depths of market lows in 2008, we feel scared and sell everything and vow to take better care of our financial lives. Then five years later, with the economy and markets in recovery, the Allianz survey shows that only 16 percent of respondents said they would include financial planning in their resolutions for 2014. Whether you call it a resolution or a plan, here’s what I have learned after being in the business for 25 years: It’s easier to reach a financial goal when you articulate it and create a plan of action to achieve it. The problem is that simply thinking about a financial plan, let alone running the numbers that are necessary to complete it, can be

For many, conquering the Big Three will require some time and energy. The process may even call for you to (gasp) figure out where your money is going. The easiest way to do that is to track your expenses for three months. After doing so, you may

a simple way to start is to address what I like to call “The Big Three Financial Goals”: 1. Zero consumer debt (credit card, auto loans) 2. Adequate emergency reserve funds (6-12 month’s worth of expenses; 12-24 months for retirees) 3. Maximization of retirement contributions ($17,500 for 401(k), 403(b) and 457 plans, with an additional $5,500 catch up contribution available if you are over the age of 50; and $5,500 for IRAs, with an additional $5,500 catch up contribution). This step includes ensuring that you have a properly diversified portfolio which is consistent with your risk tolerance level.

find that there’s extra money available to help your efforts. Once you have these covered the Big Three, it’s time for the nuts and bolts of financial security: drafting/updating wills and other estate documents and reviewing insurance coverage (life, disability, long-term care and property and casualty). These are not sexy topics, like investing can be, but without them, your financial security could be at risk. With those basic steps covered, now comes the hard part: time to prioritize what comes next. Do you want to buy a house in the next year or two? If so, you may need to channel all available cash flow

into a down payment fund. Are you ready to set aside some of your precious free cash flow for your kids in a Section 529 Plan or would you prefer to aim for early retirement? Do you need to think about caring for your aging parents? If so, have you had the tough talk with them to see what their wishes are? These are just some of the questions that you need to think about in order to properly plan for your financial future. No wonder so many people would rather put their heads in the sand than deal with this stuff! Of course, all of the planning in the world can’t prevent the fact that sometimes a bad financial event can happen to

you, but it certainly puts you in a stronger position than doing nothing. So maybe the best New Year’s resolution is, “I’m going to start doing SOMETHING to better my financial life!” (Jill Schlesinger, CFP, is the Emmynominated CBS News Business Analyst.
