Local man charged with sexual abuse, child porn Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow announced that a Romeoville man has been charged with multiple counts of criminal sexual assault and child pornography.

Timothy J. Brandt, 36, of 420 Glen Ave., Romeoville was arrested Thursday following a joint investigation by the Will

County State’s Attorney’s High Technology Crimes Unit, the Romeoville Police Department and the U.S. Secret Service.

Brandt was arrested Thursday after detectives executed a search warrant at his residence.

Brandt was charged with two counts of Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault of a Child, five

counts of Aggravated Child Pornography and seven counts of Child Pornography. The Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault and Aggravated Child Pornography charges are Class X felonies that are punishable by a minimum six years in prison with no option for probation if the defendant is convicted.

The arrest was the result of a two-month investigation launched by State’s Attorney Glasgow’s High Technology Crimes Unit into the distribution of child pornography over

the Internet.

Detectives took possession of Brandt’s computers pursuant to the search warrant.

Bond for Brandt was set May 3 at $7.5 million. He must post 10 percent to secure his release while awaiting trial.

Anyone with information regarding the arrest of Brandt is asked to contact Detective Paul Tuuk of the Romeoville Police Department at (815) 886-7219.

The Will County State’s Attorney’s Office reminds the

public that charges are not evidence of guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial at which the government has the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Volunteers clean up littler at Isle a la Cache during Community Work Day in Romeoville.

VOLUNTEERS Continued from page 1 Preserve and Isle a la Cache Museum; and deposited wood chips around trees and weeded a garden at Isle a la Cache Museum.

Forest Preserve Public Information Officer Bruce Hodgdon said the Community Work Day began six years ago as a partnership with Comcast.

The cable company wanted to sponsor a Comcast Cares Day in Joliet, and the Rock Run Preserve was chosen to hold the program since it is the site of the “Ride the Rock,” event, an annual 15-mile family bike ride through Joliet, Crest Hill and Rockdale.

This year, Comcast elected to hold the work day in Romeoville, and the Forest Preserve selected Isle a la Cache to prepare for the upcoming Island Rendezvous to be held June 8 and 9.

JULIE, Inc. co-sponsored the event. In addition to employees from these two organizations, more than a dozen other organizations and groups attended the workday.

Companies whose employees pitched in included Citgo, Home Depot, Harrah’s Casino, Walgreens and Geek Squad.

“Bringing so many

from different backgrounds together for a common purpose is what the annual Community Work Day strives to do.”

Bruce Hodgdon, Will County Forest Preserve work crews to help with wood chipping.

Students from Lemont High School, Joliet West High School, Joliet Junior College, Northeastern Illinois University and University of St. Francis joined volunteers from Big Brothers Big Sisters, Joliet Job Corps and Boy Scout Troops 22, 75 and 83 and Cub Scout Pack 99 to contribute their time and effort.

About 20 regular Forest Preserve volunteers provided guidance and worked with the various groups at their designated worksites.

District volunteers assisted in registration, demonstrated brush stacking, drove shuttles, operated chainsaws and applied herbicide.

Another 21 Forest Preserve staff members took part in the Work Day. “Bringing so many from

different backgrounds together for a common purpose is what the annual Community Work Day strives to do,” said Hodgdon.

“This goal was realized at Isle a la Cache Museum on a lovely spring morning.”

Volunteers were greeted by opening remarks from invited dignitaries: John Noak, Mayor of the Village of Romeoville; Michael Parker, vice president of Field Operations for Comcast; state Rep. Emily McAsey, D-Lockport; Joe Babich, president of the Forest Preserve Board of Commissioners; and Forest Preserve Executive Director Marcy DeMauro.

Five District Commissioners presented a resolution proclaiming April 27 “Comcast Cares Day”: Kenneth Harris, Bolingbrook; Reed Bible, Plainfield; Mark Ferry, Plainfield; Steve Balich, Orland Park; and Jacqueline Traynere, Bolingbrook..

The Forest Preserve normally holds the Community Work Day on the last Saturday in April.

Next year’s date is not set as of yet. However, those wishing to participate or looking for more information on volunteering— individuals, families or groups— can contact the Volunteer Supervisor, Renee Gauchat, at 815/722-7364 or by email at rgauchat@fpdwc.org.

Whether you want to run a race, touch a truck, navigate an obstacle course or learn more about what the community has to offer, a new event is set to get residents out and about.

In its inaugural run, the village of Romeoville and the Romeoville Chamber of Commerce will be hosting the Truckin’ 5K, Saturday, May 18.

A 5K run/walk will begin at 8 a.m.; a kid’s one-mile obstacle run at 9 a.m.; and the Touch-aTruck, Fun Fair and Business Expo will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Romeoville Village Hall, 1050 W. Romeo Road.

Runners of all ages are welcome and can register online at www.romeoville.org

or at the Recreation Center.

Pre-register for $25 for the 5K Run/Walk before May 14 or $30 on race day between 7 and 7:45 a.m. The Kids Race is $5 if registered before May 14 and $10 the day of the race.

The route for the run is the same as the previous Cinco de Mayo Run, which includes a multi-terrain course. New to the course will be optional obstacles for those looking for an extra challenge. In addition, giveaways will be distributed to the first 200 participants.

The Fun Fair and Business Expo will include an opportunity for kids to explore emergency vehicles, construction equipment and various trucks; inflatables, face painting, a craft area, DJ, food, children’s entertainment and games.

Senators call to end VA backlog U.S. Senators Mark Kirk (RIL) and Dick Durbin (D-IL) joined a bipartisan group of 67 Senators in urging President Obama to take direct action and involvement in ending the current Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) disability claims backlog.

The Chicago Regional Office – which processes claims for all Illinois veterans – is the fourth most backlogged processing center in the country. More than 82% of its 20,000 claims have been pending for more than 125 days, which is significantly above the national average.

Students get real-life lesson in distracted driving

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Don’t Drink and Drive.

Txting & Driving, It Can Wait.

Stay Alive. Drive 55.

No Text is Worth Dying For. The road signs and slogans are everywhere, but the sight of a fellow classmate lying next to a wrecked car speaks volumes.

Or so the organizers of a mock traffic accident hope, driving home the message during prom weekend that distracted driving can lead to death.

The demonstration, put together by the RHS Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD), the Romeoville police and fire departments and Pfeiffer’s Towing, took place as RHS students prepared for prom to emphasize the dangers of drinking and distracted driving.

The accident was set up in the field next to the main entrance to RHS, so everyone arriving by car or by bus could witness what was happening as they came to school.

“People learn in different ways, some more visual, some more hands on. This week, we’ve tried to get the message across in every way we could,” said Traffic Sgt. Chris Burne. “…We’ve seen the faces on the kids as they come by, and you can tell it affected them—to see their classmates laying there fatally injured— it’s an eye-opener. It makes it real.”

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) young drivers, ages 15- to 20-years old, are especially vulnerable to death and

injury on the roadways.Traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for teenagers in America. Mile for mile, teenagers are involved in three times as many fatal crashes as all other drivers.

Cracking down on cell phones And in a recent move to crack down on cell phone use while driving, the Romeoville Police Department performed a four-hour detail, during which 46 tickets were issued for distracted driving, texting or cell phone use in prohibited areas.

“That’s 10-12 an hour—that’s quite a bit,” said Burne. “We saw people driving by texting while we were issuing tickets.

If we had more officers are the detail, that

number could have doubled.”

Texting and cell phone use in and around town are fast becoming an epidemic says Burne, who has been on the force for 13 years. He has seen a significant increase in rear-end accidents caused by distracted driving in the past few years.

“It is a problem, and we are trying to curb that action with information sharing and public management—it is a major issue,” said Burne. “The pure numbers of distracted driving has increased, and that is a problem for teenagers who have never driven before and are not as experienced.

But it’s not just teenagers who are texting.

There are a lot of adults out there, too, and they aren’t as good at it.”

Burne also reminds that it is not just the major issues like drinking and texting while driving, but grabbing for that CD or purse.

“We’ve seen everything from putting on a makeup to typing on a laptop or reading a book,” Burne said, noting that’s an accident waiting to happen.

He also reports busy intersections such as Weber and Normantown roads see a high rate of rear-end accidents.

“People are looking down at their phone and don’t stop in time,” said Burne.

“If you’re not hands free, shut the phone off while driving.”

It’s probably not enough to turn the ringer off, he explains, “we are all of a curious nature; we want to know what it is.We hear the beep, and we have this need to check that email, text or call. Silence it, and put it in the glove box until you stop driving.”

Police traffic stops, safety inspections and an all-inclusive information blitz on driving safely were all part of a project to keep new drivers safe on the road at RHS last week.

Burne said the police department felt it was important to emphasize all areas of distracted driving, including texting, playing music too loudly and traveling with too many people in the car.

The week started with officers stationed at the exits of the high school during dismissal. Officers passed out nearly 250 candy bars as a reward to those drivers who were wearing a seat belt and a written warning to those who were not. As a follow up, officers stopped cars leaving school the following day and issued tickets to those students who were culprits of distracted driving. This year, it was only a few, eight students.

By Delorise Ivy, Valley View School District

With a little help from their sister organization at Romeoville High School,students at Martinez Middle School in Romeoville have launched R.I.G.H.T. Jr. (Really Intelligent Girls Hanging Together.)

Started last year by Anleeta Buchanan and Kim McElroy,with help from R.I.G.H.T. founder and RHS Assistant Principal Yolanda Jordan, R.I.G.H.T. Jr. is designed to give the girls a strong foundation to help them manage middle school as well as transition smoothly into high school.

R.I.G.H.T Jr. meets once a month, addressing such issues as self-esteem, bullying, peerpressure, dining etiquette and more. The group has also adopted some activities from the Dove Self-Esteem Workshop Guide.

During the current school year, Buchanan and Amanda Carvelli have served as co-sponsors.

Students at Martinez Middle School in Romeoville have launched R.I.G.H.T. Jr. (Really Intelligent Girls Hanging Together.

“I am so proud of the activities we have had so far,” Buchanan said, pointing to a visit by Jordan for a Q&A on high school expectations. Jordan even brought the girls t-shirts which they wore for yearbook pictures.

and fashion as well as some novels. The group also had an “awesome” book talk and plans to visit the library together to support the programs there.

On the schedule for the remainder of the school year is the creation of Vision Boards consisting of a collage of images that support what each student would like to achieve in life and

what makes them special, an etiquette lesson where girls will learn proper table etiquette and fun facts about table manners, and a May 18 “tea time” event with RHS R.I.G.H.T. girls.

“One of the best things about sponsoring R.I.G.H.T. Jr. is the parental support,” Buchanan said. “Our parents are awesome and very supportive.”

braham and Mary Todd Lincoln were alive and well during a reenactment of Lincoln’s life at the Bolingbrook Fountaindale Library, culminating the 2013 Great Read community literacy program.

Impersonators Max and Donna Daniels performed May 2, a Night at the Theater,The Great Read Finale in which they told the story of Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation, the theme for this year’s literacy program.

The program joined Plainfield-area community members in their desire to inspire readers to enjoy any books about the 16th president and take part in numerous fun, historical and educational programs dedicated to Lincoln.

The Great Read was presented by the Plainfield School District 202; the Plainfield, Joliet, Fountaindale, Shorewood-Troy libraries; Joliet Junior College; Plainfield Township; and the Joliet-area Barnes and Nobles stores.

An art contest depicting Lincoln was also open to all ages. Plainfield teacher Dan Niwa encouraged his art class students to participate in the program, including sixth graders Eliza Buschtawm and Addie Dietz.

The Great Read was also supported by grants from the Plainfield Foundation for Excellence, the Friends of the Public Library, Enterprise Publications and other participating member organizations.

H o ro s c o p e s Concentrate on aspirations rather than ambitions in the early part of the week. Hold off implementing investment strategies. You might be faced by an unexpected bill or added duties at an inconvenient time.

Frustrated desires may be a signal that you are heading down the wrong path. For the best results, steer clear of confrontations and keep your nose to the grindstone in the first half of the week.

You can’t always fly by the seat of your pants. Accuracy could be essential in the week to come. Count on solid support and good advice, especially if caught up in a whirlwind of changes.

Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as snow. Avoid problems by not associating with people who spread dirt. The early part of the week is not a good time to enter into agreements.

Accept the good, the bad and even the ugly with good grace.

Don’t make irrevocable judgments about people or key decisions about financial matters early this week. Logical thinking is your key to success.

The first half of the week is not a good time to strike bargains, make major purchases or have machinery repaired. Hold off on decisions that could affect your financial condition.

No one is hiding the truth under a rock. You suspect the worst of someone when you don’t receive the answer you want. Put major decisions on the back burner, rather than putting your foot down this week.

Be proud of your accomplishments. Ignore that little nagging voice that urges you to do something selfish. Your stamina and ability to cope with emergencies could be tested for a few days this week.

Thank your lucky stars for an understanding mate or a helpful friend. Some situations might be exasperating in the early part of the week. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.

Unexpected policy changes could cause setbacks. You may hear of an opportunity to increase your net worth, but hold off on making your move until things settle down later in the week.

Tiptoe through the tulips. Don’t stir up resentment by taking control without permission. Get plenty of rest so that you can tackle a heavy load of responsibilities in the early part of the week.

If you can’t trust your eyes and ears, trust your instincts. Some people may surprise you by being cranky or difficult to deal with this week. Employ your powers of understanding to bypass controversy.

Spartans looking to heal for home stretch

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

Saying Plainfield South has a good hitting team this season is like saying Lebron James is a pretty good basketball player.

The fact is, when they are on, the Cougars can flat out rake.

South hit the ball well in the first two games against Romeoville, handing the Spartans their first two 10-run rule losses of the season.

But the way the Southwest Prairie Conference works, Romeoville pitcher Thomas Goodyear allowed the highscoring Cougars just three hits for the game in a 4-0 shutout win to avoid the sweep.

Raul Ibarra had a triple and three RBI, while Brandon Lisak had a pair of hits.

Romeoville coach Dave Haskins was not overly concerned about the two large defeats, as the Spartans are battling injury and getting some young players acclimated to varsity baseball.

We are struggling right now, but that is alright,” Haskins said. “The thing we have to do to get out of this is to grow together. The senior leadership is stepping in.

“We made some moves and brought some young guys up to flip the lineup a bit and we See SPARTANS, page 14

Mitch Zack and the Spartans had a few days off last weekend that coach Dave Haskins hoped help them get healthy for the playoffs.

Sports SPARTANS Continued from page 13 have to get healthy. We have some hanging arms and some sore arms.”

Haskins said they Spartans had guys pitching their first starts of the season, which he admits is harder against a tough hitting team like South.

“Our Nos. 2 and 3 pitchers couldn’t go, so the first two games of the series we threw guys that probably shouldn’t be in that position. It was their first starts of the season, but they stepped up and battled. But we have to tip our cap to them because they are a great team.”

After the series with the Cougars, Romeoville had the weekend off for prom, allowing them a chance to heal up.

“We have to get through this,” Haskins said. “We have the

weekend off for prom, so we have three days to get healthy.

But, that is OK, we have to get healthy for the end of May.Those were the first two games we have been slaughtered. Every other loss is 2-1 or 3-2. But we will be OK. “We will get some rest over the weekend and we will get healthy and we will bounce back against Minooka.

Hopefully our horses are ready to go so we can see what they can do against another quality opponent.”

The one thing Haskins was pleased about in the losses was the way the team battled even being down big early.

“I was very pleased with their efforts,” he said.

One of those players was sophomore Josh Krueger who homered for the only run in the second game of the series.

It was his third game in a row with a homer.

“He has been having a great week and a half for us,” Haskins said. “We are very pleased we have him for two more years.”

Krueger said he has been seeing the ball well.

“I have liked what I have been seeing and I have been able to drive them,” he said. “We have to try and give 100 percent no matter what the score is.”

In the series opener, Kruger was 2-for-3 with a homer and two RBI, while Brian Hurley also had a home run.

The game before against Plainfield East, Krueger had a homer and three RBI in Romeoville’s 5-4 loss to the Bengals. Mike Torres was 3-for-4 with a triple, Matt Bottcher was 2-for-4 with a double and Lisak had a home run.

Hurley took the loss, striking out nine and allowing two earned runs on eight hits in seven innings.

SOFTBALL Romeoville defeated Oswego East 10-6.

Olivia Valdez homered and had two RBI for Romeoville.

Romeoville then fell to Plainfield East 3-2.

Taylor Massaro was 2-for-3 with homer, Abby Smith tripled and Briana Floyd drove home an RBI for the Spartans.

GIRLS SOCCER Minooka blanked Romeoville 7-0.

GIRLS TRACK The Spartans were fourth as a team at the SPC meet last weekend.

Raven Kelly was a conference champion in both the shot put and discus.

In the shot, she posted a distance of 41-feet, 3.5 inches, while in the discus, she threw it 110-9.5.

Smith leaving Valley View

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

Bolingbrook basketball coach Tony Smith announced May 2 that will be leaving his coaching job as head girls basketball coach of the Raiders to take the same position at HomewoodFlossmoor High School, pending approval by H-F District 233 school board on May 21.

“It is a great opportunity for me to go there and build,” said Smith, who will continue to teach Health as well.“It was something I couldn’t pass up on all the things going on at Homewood.”

Smith took over the Lady Raiders in 2001 and posted a 329-39 record, winning four state titles, including three straight from 2009-11.

“Tony has meant a lot to the Bolingbrook community and to our high school,” said Bolingbrook AD Rob Rose. “He basically built this program from the ground up and turned it into one of the best programs in the nation. I am a Bolingbrook guy, Tony is a Bolingbrook guy. Me and Tony go way back and I wish him all the best. I am going to miss him. It is not something I am happy about, but it is a good opportunity for him. If it wasn’t, I’m sure he wouldn’t be leaving.”

Smith said that he looks forward to trying to build the Vikings into the same type of program he built at Bolingbrook.

“We were able to build a great program at Bolingbrook and I think it is a program that can go on and on,” Smith said. “This is a new challenge now and it is kind of a refreshing challenge to go

Tony Smith is leaving Bolingbrook to coach at HomewoodFloosmoor.

and try and do it again.”

Smith will be reunited with Alec Anderson, former athletic director at Bolingbrook who left after the 2011 season to take the same job at H-F. “Alec was one of the big parts that I chose to go out there,” Smith said. “I know him and I know he is a person I enjoyed working with. But, this was one of the biggest jobs out there.”

Smith said his first goal at H-F will be win a SouthWest Suburban Conference championship, something only Bolingbrook has done since the inception of the league.

“The first plan is to win a conference championship. I know that has never been done by anyone other than Bolingbrook since the conference started,” Smith said. “I will always be cheering for them when they are not playing us, they will always have a special part in me.”

While at Bolingbrook, Smith coached two of the most decorated players in state history in Morgan Tuck and Ariel Massengale.

Tuck was Illinois Ms. Basketball as a freshman and a senior and was Gatorade Player of the year in 2012, while Massengale was Ms. Basketball in 2011.

He was also coach of the McDonald’s All-American West team this year “Bolingbrook gave me an opportunity and I will always be grateful for them. I have had a lot of good times here and have a lot of friends at Bolingbrook,” Smith said. “I have to thank Mayor (Roger) Claar for his support.

I want to thank the kids over the years for being dedicated student athletes. What we have done here, I know it shows how hard the kids have worked. It is an honor to have worked with them.”

Smith said he plans to implement the off season workout program for the Vikings as soon as he is officially approved by the board.

“I am hoping to start to make the transition at the end of the month,” Smith said. “Because there will be a transition.”

There will also be a transition in Bolingbrook and Rose said the search will be open to all takers.’

“Once H-F approves him, we will be able to post the position,” Rose said. “We are not opposed to in-house candidates, but in fairness to our kids, we are going

to open it up and look for the best possible coach we can find.”

Front Row Motorsports 1, 2 at ‘Dega In the type of stunning victory that has typified racing at Talladega Superspeedway since its inception, David Ragan led an extraordinary 1-2 finish for Front Row Motorsports, which had never won a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race before Sunday.

David Gilliland pushed Ragan, his teammate, to the lead on the final circuit in a green-white checkered-flag finish that took Sunday’s Aaron’s 499 four laps

past its scheduled distance of 188 laps. Gilliland came home second, followed by pole sitter Carl Edwards, Michael Waltrip and series leader Jimmie Johnson.

As Ragan put it, two Davids beat the Goliaths of NASCAR racing in one of the sport’s most unlikely finishes ever.

Ragan’s victory followed a massive wreck that took the race to overtime--and to near-darkness, in what truly was truly was a

Talladega night. In fact, NASCAR gave the drivers a chance to change their tinted visors for clear ones during the final caution.

Afterwards, Ragan tried to put the win in perspective.

“I can only imagine what it felt like back in 1988 when Mark Martin got that first win for Jack Roush or when Geoff Bodine won that first race for Hendrick Motorsports,” said Ragan, who scored his only Sprint Cup win

at Daytona in July 2011, his last season with Jack Roush.“I’m sure it was just as special.

“A lot of these guys have been to Victory Lane in the Sprint Cup Series and late model racing, short tracks, ARCA – all kinds of series – but to do it here at Talladega in 2013, like I said, it’s a true David vs. Goliath story. I couldn’t be more proud to play my own role.”

Ragan restarted 10th and

Gilliland 11th for the final twolap sprint. As the cars raced into Turn 1, they were barely visible from the frontstretch grandstand, but the teammates managed to find each other on the track.

For the first time in NASCAR’s new Gen-6 car, Gilliland pushed another car through the corners-to the amazement of Edwards, whose jaw dropped in the postrace news conference as Gilliland described the final two laps.

Cancer. It’s a word no one wants to hear, yet all too many people are diagnosed each year. With a diagnosis comes many questions, most importantly how to get the best medical care possible.

For many, the next logical question is how to maintain a normal life with cancer -- including balancing work, life and health demands.

Nearly 80 percent of cancer patients and survivors say continuing work after diagnosis aids recovery, according to recently released survey results from nonprofit organization Cancer and Careers and Harris Interactive.

Still, many struggle to find support navigating the work/ life balance of employment with cancer.

For some, working through treatment is not a choice, but a necessity. For others, the decision to work is made based on personal preferences.

Survey results showed that several factors motivate cancer survivors to continue

working -- including feeling well, wanting to maintain a routine and wanting to be productive. At the same time, 67 percent of surveyed cancer patients and survivors said work/life balance was critical to having a career.

Regardless of the situation, experts say that those working through or returning to work following treatment have many factors to consider.

“There are many components to manage when people return to work after a cancer diagnosis or treatment, including understanding legal rights, telling co-workers, managing treatment schedules and addressing potential resume gaps,” said Kate Sweeney, executive director of Cancer and Careers, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to serving people working during and after cancer treatment.

Sweeney offers the following tips for people transitioning back into the workplace after a cancer diagnosis or treatment: • Before sharing your

diagnosis, study your options.

Learn about the laws that may protect you, know your company’s policies and speak to your healthcare team.

• Be mindful of what you say online. Whatever you post becomes part of your online brand, so consider the shortand long-term effects of what you say and do.

• When returning to work, ease back into the routine.

Make sure you take care of yourself physically and mentally.

• Be clear with your coworkers about how they can

support you.

• Be prepared to “swivel” the conversation back to workrelated things so the focus isn’t always on cancer.

• Rely on free resources to

help make the transition.

For example, Cancer and Careers provides expert advice, interactive tools and educational events for everyone dealing with cancer in the workplace, including patients, healthcare professionals, human resource managers and coworkers.

More information on how to balance the demands of work and cancer can be found at www.

Whether you need to work or simply want to stay active during your treatment, having a plan can empower you to thrive in the workplace and leave you with more energy to cope with the rest of life’s details.

Time to end the gravy train Social Security plan: for that ‘special’ employee What it means to you Q. I have an employee on my team who is charming and always trying to get me to give him extra goodies. He wants extra time with me, special treatment or for me to bend the rules for him. I’m exhausted trying to manage him. How do I let him know his gravy train is over?

A. Let him know the gravy train is over by helping him realize he is in the workplace and not part of a family where he is the indulged or neglected child.

Many adults came from homes in which they either got way too much or way too little from their parents. Both types of adults will expect their bosses (workplace parents) will bend over backwards to make them feel special.

If you were raised by people who treated you as a little prince or princess, you go out into the world absolutely expecting the rest of the world to follow suit. If your parents neglected you, you may go out into the world feeling the world now has to make up for the early deprivation you experienced. Most bosses don’t know employee project parenting issues on them and they don’t see this problem coming at all.

If you are a manager or supervisor, welcome to the reality of workplace parenting.

No one told you that being a leader in a company will mean every employee will paint their unfinished issues with

their parents on your face.

If you consider all the weird behavior you’ve seen in employees, the fact they see you as mom or dad may start to make a lot of sense.

The problem is you are their boss not their parent. If you want to end these irrational employee expectations you need to see what is happening.You then need to be able and willing to disappoint your employees.

Next time your employee charmingly cajoles you to bend a rule, make sure you are in private, repeat back the request, state that you know this will be disappointing and you can no longer bend the rules for them.

Now the hard part: Walk away and let your employee look heartbroken or angry.

Yes, you’ll feel like a jerk, but no one can be effective in the workplace without repeatedly disappointing other people’s unreasonable demands.

The trouble with the gravy train you’ve provided for your “special” employee is that no amount of special treatment can fill his black hole of entitlement. No matter what you’ve done or will do, he will simply keep increasing his demands. If it helps, realize he does this with everyone not just you.

Next time you have an employee who nicely asks you to break the rules, realize you’ve received a ticket for the

entitlement gravy train again.

Don’t RSVP by breaking the rules even once.

If you have other employees that never ask for a favor and honestly once in a blue moon make a request, feel free to accommodate them. Just make sure you communicate you’ll only do this once.You’ll build loyalty from them without changing their normal expectations.

No matter what an awesome manager you are, it is beyond the scope of your job description to parent an employee. Even a good psychotherapist recognizes a big part of their job is to let clients know the psychotherapist is not their mommy.

You can empathize with an employee who has been given too much or too little without perpetuating their distorted view of the world. One of the richest opportunities in the workplace is to grieve our unrealistic expectations of reality so we can be effective. Give your entitled employee a chance to grieve, do the job or find another manager to be his mommy.

Last word(s) Q. One of my customers is always finding ways I fail him. I keep explaining what I’m doing but it doesn’t help.

Is there a more effective response?

A. Yes, simply ask him what he wants next time he complains. No one cares about your explanations; they only care about getting what they want.

What are essential 3-6 month expenses?

Dear Dave, I’m following your plan, and currently I have $14,000 in my emergency fund.

What are essentials for three to six months of expenses?

Brian Dear Brian, Basically, you should ask yourself this question: What would it take to operate

my household for a month?

There are several different things that could be classified as “essentials,” but if you take those things and multiply the number by three, four, five or six, you’ll see how much money you need to have a fully loaded emergency fund of three to six months of expenses.

This is Baby Step 3 in

my plan.

Some people get really technical about exactly how many months of expenses they need to save in this range. And that’s okay.You can take a little time to evaluate things before moving on to Baby Step 4, which is investing 15 percent of your household income into Roth IRAs and other pre-tax retirement plans.

Believe me, it’s a great feeling See DAVE, page 23

There’s nothing like proposed changes to Social Security limits to get readers of this column going.

After President Obama released his fiscal 2014 budget, a number of you wrote in asking,“What will this mean to me?”

Well, let’s start with a quick refresher on the current system.

To qualify for Social Security retirement benefits, you need to have worked and paid payroll taxes for at least 10 years. You can check your online benefits statement at www.socialsecurity. gov/mystatement/ to determine where you currently stand.

Full retirement age varies from 65 to 67 depending on the year of your birth. The general rule is that if you can afford to do so and are in good health, it pays to wait to retire until your full retirement age (FRA) before you claim benefits (and it’s even better if you can delay until age 70).

While you can choose to tap into the system as early as age 62, your benefit will be permanently lower - for some as much as 25 percent less, which also could affect a nonworking spouse, who also will claim based on your work history.

Unfortunately, many Americans can’t afford to delay - they need the income as soon as possible.

There is one more part of the equation. The government adjusts the amount of your retirement benefit annually to account for rising prices. In 2013, the cost of living adjustment, or “COLA,” was an increase of 1.7 percent.

But let’s hit the pause button here. Social Security is not going broke any time soon. Yes, there are fewer workers paying into the system today than in the past, and indeed, more and more baby boomers retire every day. The Social Security 2012 trustee report projected that in 20 years (after 2033), payroll tax income would pay only about three-quarters of scheduled benefits through 2086.

But the trustees’ report also offered a different way to think about Social Security - as a share of Gross Domestic Product, or the economy as a whole. Social Security costs equaled 4.2 percent of GDP in 2007, and the trustees project that these costs will increase gradually to 6.4 percent of GDP in 2035 before declining and remaining at about 6.1 percent of

GDP from 2055 through 2086.

Many argue that 6 to 6.5 percent of GDP is a small price to pay to fund a program that provides about 37 percent of all income for Americans 65 and older, and a whopping 85 percent for those in the bottom 20 percent of incomes.

That’s why legislators and pundits have been floating so many ideas for enhancing the current system, which include increasing full retirement age, raising the Social Security wage base from the current level of $113,700 of earned income, increasing the Social Security payroll tax for high earners, means-testing Social Security benefits for retirees who have incomes above a certain threshold and/or changing the cost-of-living adjustment.

The president’s budget focuses on that last option by tinkering with the COLA calculation as a means to slow down the cost of the Social Security over the next decade. The proposal would replace the current measure of inflation (a consumer price index for wage earners, or CPI-W) with one called “chained CPI,” which the government has only been calculating since 2002. Advocates claim that chained CPI is a more accurate measure because it takes into account the fact that consumers respond to the rise in the price of one good by shifting to cheaper alternatives.

Chained CPI has shown an average rate of inflation that’s 0.3 percent lower than the government’s current measure, according to the AARP Public Policy Institute. The Obama administration says that this change in calculation would shave $110 billion from the budget over 10 years.

However, what would be the net effect of this change on retirees? According to the Center for Economic and Policy Research, the switch to chained CPI could reduce benefits for the average worker who retires at age 65 by about $650 per year by age 75, and by over $1,100 per year by age 85.

So, while some combination of these proposed changes could be made to bolster Social Security over the long term, many of them will shrink the already meager benefits of most retirees. Like it or not, this appears to be the new reality of retirement. We should all pay attention and plan accordingly.

DAVE Continued from page 22 to have a big pile of cash sitting there just for a rainy day.You don’t want to go nuts and make it so big that you sacrifice retirement or other important aspects of your life, but after a point you shouldn’t be too concerned whether you have three months or six months of expenses—or somewhere in between—saved just for emergencies.

Having a nice emergency fund, along with no debt, creates a wonderful sense of financial peace!

She stole his identity Dear Dave, If a wife takes out a credit card in her husband’s name without his knowledge, and they get divorced, can the husband claim identity theft?

Nancy Dear Nancy, Absolutely! Unless they have power of attorney, anytime someone opens an account in a name other than their own, they have stolen an identity. Being married to someone doesn’t give you the right to sign their name to a document.

I knew a guy in the real estate business years ago who was doing a lot of property deals under his own name.

Occasionally, the title company would require his wife’s signature, and he would sign her name on the papers himself.

Sometimes he signed her name after calling her up and explaining what was happening, and she was okay with the situation.Then, he signed some papers she didn’t know about, and it came back to bite him. He was charged with criminal fraud!

You cannot legally sign your spouse’s name without first having power of attorney privileges. If you do, it’s called identity theft. It’s a crime anytime you lie to get money.
