Plan and grow your business 

with monthly Tips on various subjects such as Taxes, 

Human Resources, and Marketing. 

Business 

As the year begins, 

this can be an excellent 

time to review your financial 

circumstances. 

You can look back at 

2014 and see how much 

money came in and 

where it went during the 

year without adjusting 

for seasonal variations. 

The knowledge you’ll 

obtain by creating a personal 

cash flow statement 

can help you make 

realistic financial plans 

Business 

Create a Personal Cash Flow Statement 

for 2015. (If you’re married 

or cohabiting, you 

can use this technique 

to create a household financial 

statement.) 

Tabulating income 

Begin the process by 

adding up all the spendable 

cash that came in 

during 2014. Typically, 

that information can be 

found in the monthly 

statements from your 

checking account or accounts. 

Employment Wisdom On The Go 

Courtesy of Rebecca 

Webber 

There has been lot of 

discussion recently about 

designation of FMLA and 

what happens if an employee 

declines FMLA 

and asks for some other 

leave first, saving the 

FMLA for later. 

There was a recent 

article posted on a site 

called FMLA Insights that 

I thought was particularly 

well balanced between the 

camps that say not to designate 

unless the employee 

wants it and those that 

say designate it no matter 

what. Here is an excerpt 

from that article: 

Here, you have two options: 

1.Deny FMLA leave. 

If the employee has not 

returned complete and 

adequate medical certification 

within 15 calendar 

days, and he has not engaged 

in any good faith efforts 

to return it, you have 

the right to deny FMLA 

leave and subject the employee 

to your attendance 

policy, which often will 

treat the absence as unexcused. 

2. Designate the absence 

as FMLA leave. 

For some employers, 

denying FMLA leave 

above will not result in 

an unexcused absence because 

the employee simply 

can use accrued paid 

leave without any consequence. 

For other employers, 

they simply want to 

start the FMLA clock running 

so that the employee 

exhausts FMLA leave as 

quickly as possible and return 

to work. . . . 

If the employer has 

sufficient information 

to designate the leave as 

FMLA leave immediately 

after receiving notice of 

the employee’s need for 

leave, the employer may 

provide the employee 

with the designation notice 

at that time. 29 C.F.R. 

825.300(d)(2) 

Simply put, you do not 

need medical certification 

in your hand to designate 

leave. As the regulations 

state, if you have enough 

facts based on the employee’s 

notice to establish 

that the employee requires 

leave that is covered by the 

FMLA, you can designate 

it as such. No other questions 

asked or information 

needed. Notably, under 29 

C.F.R. 825.305(b), you 

can always ask for certification 

later ‘if the employer 

later has reason to question 

the appropriateness of 

the leave or its duration.’” 

The good news is that 

this scenario does not 

happen often because 

most employees want the 

job protection offered by 

FMLA. 

This article is not legal 

advice but should be considered 

general guidance 

in the area of employment 

and corporate law. Rebecca 

Webber is an employment 

attorney; others at 

the firm handle business 

and other matters. You

service law firm providing

since its founding 

in 1853. • 

Once you’ve calculated 

all the income 

you’ve received, make 

any necessary adjustments. 

Subtract inflows 

not likely to occur again 

in 2015, such as exceptional 

gifts, bequests, asset 

sales, and so on. Altogether, 

you’ll have an 

idea of how much cash 

flow you can expect in 

2015, raising or lowering 

the number to keep 

up with current circumstances, 

such as a higher 

salary this year. 

Tracking your outlays 

Your checking account 

statements also will 

show how much you’ve 

spent during the year: 

checks you wrote, bills 

you paid automatically, 

personal checks that 

you cashed for spending 

money. Be sure to include 

your debit card or 

ATM withdrawals in the 

money you spent during 

2014, even if they 

are linked to an account 

other than your regular 

checking account. 

To complete the picture 

of what you spent 

during the year, request 

annual statements from 

your credit card companies. 

Focus on the future 

Once you have calculated 

your cash flow from 

last year and the amount 

you spent, you can make 

certain plans for 2015. 

Creating a personal 

or household cash flow 

statement can start your 

year off with a greater 

grasp of your finances. 

In addition, this exercise 

is an excellent way 

to begin gathering the 

data you need to prepare 

for your 2014 tax 

return.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 

You impress everyone with your creativity this week, 

Aries. Allow this creativity to be the inspiration behind 

projects you have been putting off of late. 

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 

Keep your goals relatively simple for the next few days, 

Taurus. You can benefit from the positive reinforcement 

of completing tasks and getting things done. 

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 

Gemini, you have been immersed in work and are starting 

to show the ill effects of keeping long hours. Now 

is a great time to take a few days off or enjoy a minivacation 

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 

Cancer, you have a lot to get done, but resist the urge 

to micromanage every detail, as this could be a surefire 

path to burnout. You need to take a few breaths. 

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 

Leo, avoid the temptation to get started on another new 

project. You already have plenty of other things on your 

plate. Finish those tasks before moving on to something 

new. 

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 

It is sometimes easy to miss the forest for the trees, Virgo. 

Try taking a step back so you can look at a puzzling 

project from a new perspective. 

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 

Libra, you may be searching for a new adventure, but 

try to appreciate the here and now as well. It’s easy to 

get swept up in fantasies, but don’t let them carry you 

too far away. 

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 

Scorpio, you suspect that someone is hiding something, 

and that very well may be the case. Perhaps a welcome 

surprise is coming your way. Resist the urge to dig too 

deep. 

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 

You can probably talk your way out of trouble, Sagittarius, 

but this time it’s better to let things play out. Keep 

conversations light and free from controversy. 

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 

Capricorn, find balance between your personal ambitions 

and things you have to accomplish at work and 

at home. Finding a middle ground is the best approach. 

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 

Aquarius, you need a few extra people to contribute to a 

special task, but you do not know who to ask. If you think 

hard enough, you will know who you can depend on. 

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 

Your demeanor makes it easy for others to enjoy your 

company, and that will come in handy as your social 

schedule fills up in the days ahead.

KVCAP Celebrates 50 Years Helping Central 

Mainers Overcome Poverty 

Submitted by Andrea 

Pasco 

The year was 1965. The 

average annual income was 

$6,450. The average house 

cost $13,600 and gas was 

31 cents a gallon. On the 

national front, America 

was heavily involved in 

Vietnam and the anti-war 

movement was gaining 

support. The Voting Rights 

Act became law, guaranteeing 

African-Americans the 

right to vote. “The Sound of 

Music” was released on the 

big screen and The Grateful 

Dead played their first 

concert with Jerry Garcia in 

San Francisco. 

Something pivotal was 

also happening in Central 

Maine. Fueled by President 

Johnson’s War on Poverty 

and the Economic Opportunity 

Act of 1964, a Board 

of Directors was organized 

and the Northern Kennebec 

Valley Community Action 

Council was born. Under 

the leadership of Executive 

Director Ray Richard, 

this new, local Community 

Action Agency began addressing 

the needs of lowincome 

people. 

Within the first 15 years 

we expanded services to 

Somerset and southern 

Kennebec counties and our 

name was changed to the 

Kennebec Valley Community 

Action Program, reflecting 

our new, larger service 

area. Members of the 

board convened a statewide 

meeting to study the needs 

of low-income families.Senior 

centers were created, 

teen centers opened, the 

first Family Planning clinic 

was established, day care 

programs and Head Start 

were up and running, WIC 

was in operation, and transportation 

services were 

rolling. 

Over the next 35 years we 

saw our programming grow 

and change to meet the current 

needs of residents, and 

funding sources came and 

went, but our mission never 

changed. Our primary goal 

has always been, and always 

will be, to help people 

overcome poverty. 

Fast forward to 2015. We 

serve nearly 25,000 people 

annually in Kennebec and 

Somerset counties, and also 

provide heating and weatherization 

services to residents 

in Lincoln and Sagadahoc 

counties. We employ 

more than 240 staff members 

and have an annual budget 

of 16.2 million dollars. 

But we didn’t get here 

alone! KVCAP’s success 

is in part the result of the 

strong local, state, and national 

partnerships that were 

built and nurtured over the 

years. It is also because of 

the energy and compassion 

of KVCAP staff and leadership 

and the generosity of 

community members, who 

have given their money, 

their time, and their hearts 

for five decades. But mostly, 

it is because our services 

are trusted, needed, and accessed 

by so many throughout 

Central Maine. 

For 50 years we have 

helped hundreds of thousands 

of residents in their 

struggle to overcome the 

PUZZLE ANSWERS 

Lake Region Reader 

barriers of poverty. 

Whether they are accessing 

transportation services, 

homeowner and financial 

education and support, 

heating assistance, child 

development programs, 

teen-related services, employment 

assistance, or any 

other KVCAP program, 

our purpose remains unchanged. 

We are committed 

to helping people become 

and remain economically 

and socially self-sufficient. 

And we invite you to join 

our efforts in 2015. Together 

we CAN make a difference.
