he Downers Grove Junior Woman’s Club has set an ambitious goal for what will be its 55th year of service to the community.

The volunteer-based, nonpartisan, non-denominational community service organization wants to double its membership in 2014, a goal its leadership says will increase the amount of

assistance they can offer to area charities.

“Membership is a big key to what we’re trying to achieve for this year,” JWC Vice President Kelsey Austin said. “With more members, we’re able to do more for the community, raise more funds,provide more scholarships and do more service projects.”

The club,which first organized in 1949, currently has 40 members. Together, they work with local charity organizations

by providing assistance through donating funds and time.

In September, the JWC will host its annual New Member Social, and Austin said she thinks the club’s mission, along with its camaraderie, will inspire women to get involved.

“We’re a great group of women that have a lot of fun while we do a lot of really good things for people who need help,” Austin See DGJWC, page 2

Dillard at it again DuPage County Republican takes second shot at governor

By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

State Sen. Kirk Dillard wrapped up a two-day statewide tour July 16 at Trademark Tavern in Lombard, and supporters were on hand to cheer for the DuPage County Republican’s recently announced bid for governor.

Dillard, R-Hinsdale, became the fourth GOP candidate to enter the 2014 governor’s race, and he told the group he is the only Republican contender who will be able to pose a serious challenge to current Gov. Pat Quinn.

DGJWC Continued from page 1 said. “Downers Grove is a great place, and we support families, individuals and organizations in need within our community. It’s an organization that supports the community in which we live, and it’s an outlet to give back to Downers Grove.”

The new member social takes place Sept. 24,and anyone interested in joining should email membership@dgjwc.org or visit www.dgjwc.org.

Doing a lot with a little The club’s membership year runs from September through May, with meetings on the fourth Tuesday of each month.

However, the service projects the JWC are involved in within the community are spread throughout the entire year.

“I’m proven, I’m tested and I am the one Republican that I believe actually can win the general election,” he said to a crowd of nearly 200 supporters.

“But most importantly, I’m the best person to govern the state of Illinois.”

The 2014 campaign will be the second time Dillard has thrown his name into the ring for governor. He ran for the office in 2010, but narrowly lost the Republican primary by 193 votes. This time around, Dillard said he isn’t taking any chances.

“I need your help,” he told the group. “Gwen Henry, my

treasurer, says,‘Please, Kirk, make sure you ask for their vote.’ So, I not only ask for your vote, I ask for your help, your support and your prayers.”

In addition to his supporters, a number of state, county and local representatives attended Tuesday’s rally, including former DuPage County State’s Attorney Joe Birkett and Downers Grove Trustee David Olsen.

Fellow state Sen. Michael Connelly, R-Wheaton, lauded Dillard’s accomplishments as a politician and said he will

Currently, the club is involved in two programs aimed at helping the children of Downers Grove and its surrounding communities. The Walk-In Ministry of Hope’s backpack program and the Downers Grove Park District’s Safety Town address two important needs: education and safety.

For more than five years, the JWC and the Walk-In Ministry of Hope—a non-religious charity for people in need—have partnered to provide backpacks and other school supplies.

Austin said the program helps an average of 150 families a year, and most of those are from Downers Grove and Westmont.

Janelle Robinson, executive director of the Walk In Ministry of Hope, said the group realized the need for school supplies about seven years ago. Up until that point, the Walk In Ministry of Hope was simply handing out

office supplies to parents who needed school supplies.

“The list for school supplies is fairly expensive, and it grows every year,” Robinson said.

The backpack program helps students from first grade through freshman year of college.

Anyone interested in donating to the program can do so until Aug. 16 at the Park District Recreation and Fitness Center, 4500 Belmont Road, Downers Grove; Community Bank of Downers Grove, 1111 Warren Ave. and 718 Ogden Ave.; Lemon Tree Grocers, 5101 Mochel Drive; or at the Walk-In Ministry of Hopes office, 1047 Curtiss St., Downers Grove. Anyone in need of school supplies should contact the Walk-In Ministry of Hope at 630-241-3224.

Through safety education, the Downers Grove Park District’s Safety Town helps teach area children about home, fire, traffic

and bicycle precautions. The JWC started Safety Town more than 30 years ago, and have continued to play an important role in the event after the Park District took over the event several years ago.

“Safety Town is a nationally recognized children’s safety education program and is presented as a cooperative effort staffed by the Downers Grove Police Department, Downers Grove Junior Woman’s Club and Downers Grove Park District,” said Toni Giovenco, Park District recreation supervisor.

“A mini safety town, complete with kid-sized buildings, street signs and sidewalks, provides an environment where children learn pedestrian, passenger and at-home safety.”

Giovenco said a mixture of hands-on activities, songs, books, videos and classroom presentations help children learn safety lessons that can be used every day. The Junior Woman’s Club plays an important role in finding and training volunteers to teach the classroom sessions.

JWC volunteers also set up the bus service program, help in the graduation ceremony, supervise the check-in and pick-up process, and obtain supplies for attendees.

“The Junior Woman’s Club is very important to the success of our program because they help make our program more efficient and create a more positive experience for our participants,” Giovenco said.

The parents of children 5 or

6 years old can choose between two, one-week sessions offered between Aug. 5 and 16. Children involved in the program must be entering kindergarten and 5 years old before Sept. 1. For more information about the event or to register, parents should call 630-963-1300.

In addition to the backpack program and kid’s Safety Town, the JWC works year-round with other organizations, including one partner organization that changes yearly. This year, they have partnered with Sharing Connections, a Downers Grovebased furniture bank that helps families in need acquire household items and gently used furniture.

Austin said that Sharing Connection’s services and the help of JWC members increased following April’s floods.

The JWC’s budget isn’t large, which is why Austin said membership is so important.The entire annual operating budget of the organization is obtained during the Rotary Grove Fest Craft Fair. However, that doesn’t prevent the club from doing a lot with a little.

“We’re a lean, mean fighting machine,” Austin said.

An annual spring golf fundraiser is the JWC’s second major fundraising initiative.

The money raised during the event is put right back into the community through a series of five scholarships offered to District 99 seniors. jsamples@buglenewspapers.com

Police: murder, Downers Grove business owner suicide apparent challenges Durbin for U.S. senate cause of death of Dowers couple

By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

Downers Grove police are investigating the deaths of a man and woman, who were found inside their home Friday afternoon in the 6200 block of Park Avenue.

Lt. Mike Willison of the Downers Grove Police Department said the victims have been identified as 41-year-old Thomas F. Smith and 39-year-old Jennifer M. Smith.

“Based on evidence obtained during the investigation, it

appears that Mr. Smith took his wife’s life and then committed suicide,” Willison said.

Police initially said the incident appeared to be “domestic related” but did not indicate the manner of death or who may have been responsible. The couple did have an 11-year-old daughter who was not home at the time of the incident.

The village of Downers Grove said in a press release that it is extending its sympathies t the family. jsamples@buglenewspapers.com

Downers Grove resident Doug Truax announced Monday he will seek the Republican Party nomination for U.S. Senate in the 2014 congressional election.

The business owner and West Point graduate will challenge current U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-IL, who is currently serving his third term.

Truax didn’t elaborate on what his goals would be as senator, but said his plan includes reforming what he calls a “ridiculous” tax code, reducing spending, and enacting policies that help the

poor and middle class.

Before moving to Downers Grove 12 years ago, the 43-yearold veteran graduated from U.S. Army Ranger School and served six years in the Army. He is currently the co-owner of an Oak Brook-based risk consulting firm. Truax has been married 21 years and has three children.

Truax is a political newcomer and the first Republican to challenge Durbin in the 2014 election.

the top of the Midwest, of our economy, of our education and of our government. Are you guys ready to do this?”

State Treasurer Dan Rutherford, state Sen. Bill Brady and venture capitalist Bruce Rauner will contend with Dillard in the Republican primary. But Dillard is the only candidate from

DuPage County. He believes that fact will work in his favor this time around.

“DuPage County is the base, and we’re unified this time,” Dillard said.

In 2010, five of seven GOP candidates for governor were from DuPage County. jsamples@buglenewspapers.com

Love of the game keeps local players going

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

Chicago Thunder starting left tackle Baptiste Williams is named after Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, considered to be the first permanent resident of what is now Chicago.

Williams, a Downers Grove resident,previously played for the Great Midwest Football League, a 25-team semipro league, but he believes he’s found a permanent home suiting up for the Thunder of the 21-team MidStates semipro Football League.

“They’re just really accepting, and they’ve given me an opportunity to try and help them out,” Williams said. “They’ve won multiple champions and multiple titles, so I just want to do what I can do for them.”

The Thunder, who compete in two pre-season games and eight MSFL contests from mid-June to mid-September, have won the MSFL title four consecutive seasons (2005-2008), as well as national titles in 2007 and 2008.

They play their home games at Downers South High School.This year marks the first year they’ve used DGS as their home field.

Getting the opportunity to win a league crown and play in the national championship game, which takes place in Florida in January, is why linebackerdefensive lineman DaveWisbrock of Westmont joined the team this season.

“The ring is what keeps me playing,” said Wisbrock, in his 11th semipro season. “I want that championship. Florida is the big goal.”

And they play simply because they love football.

Phil Washington, a 2001 Downers South graduate who played for the Mustangs the year before they won the Class 8A state championship, is close

enough to DGS that he’s able to bicycle to home games. He carries his helmet and shoulder pads with him on his bike.

Washington, a fullback and special teams player, played for three other teams prior to joining the Thunder this year. He’s been in the MSFL six years.

“I love the game,” he said. “It keeps me active. A lot of the guys I’ve been playing with for a couple of years (previously) decided to come this way, too (to join the Thunder).”

In fact, Washington, Williams and Wisbrock are all new to the team.

“Everyone’s just out here for the love of the game. For me, it would be a dream job to just play professionally,” said Williams, who at 6-foot-7, 342 pounds, certainly possesses the size to be an NFL offensive lineman.“I love the sport. Everyone out here loves the sport, and we have a good team.”

Semipro football players, of course, don’t get paid, so they work regular jobs during the week.Wisbrock, for example, is a roofer who regularly puts in 12hour days.He worked throughout last week’s heat wave and also was on a roof the morning of last Saturday night’s home game versus the Indianapolis Stallions.

“I’ve been up in the sun all week, and it’s 130 degrees on the roof,” said Wisbrock, a Westmont High School graduate who played football for the Sentinels from 1994 to 1996.

On Sundays, Wisbrock said he chills out in order to recover from soreness, aches or injuries he may have encountered during the game. The MSFL plays under NFL rules, including 15-minute quarters.

“That’s why I’m glad most of our games are on Saturdays, See LOVE, page 13

Mike Sandrolini/Bugle Staff

Members of the U.S. Military All-Stars’ baseball team fold the flag during a ceremony prior to its game against the DuPage County Hounds.

Service men and women are the true heroes I’ve had the privilege over the years of inter viewing, superstars, coaches and legends in the sports world, such as Michael Jordan, Phil Jackson, the late Reggie White and Bill Veeck, Paul Molitor, Mike Singletary, Kurt Warner, Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita, just to name a few.

Oh, and Scottie Pippen, with whom I recall doing an impromptu interview during his rookie year when he made a public appearance on behalf of the Bulls at some corner yogurt shop in Carol Stream a block or two from where I was working at the time.

Does Bobby “The Brain” Heenan—the brash, flamboyant former WWF wrestling manager and color announcer—count, too? I say, unequivocally, yes! (By

the way, Heenan provided me with some inside information in regard to when wrestlers bled back in the day. They didn’t use blood capsules. They’d cut their foreheads with tiny razor blades which they placed inside of their boots.)

Yet I wouldn’t list any of the above under the category of a hero.

Earlier this month, I got an opportunity to meet and talk to men in baseball uniforms who are bona fide heroes. Their baseball pants resembled actual camouflaged Army combat uniforms, but each of the members of the U.S. Military All-Stars baseball team did wear the uniform of either the Army, Navy,Air Force or Marines at one time, or are currently in uniform serving Uncle Sam. The All-Stars played an exhibition game at Benedictine University’s Sports Complex against the DuPage County Hounds—a club’s that’s part of

the Midwest Collegiate League, made up of NCAA and NAIU players from across the country.

The backdrop for this matchup couldn’t have been scripted any better, as it was played just days after our nation celebrated Independence Day. The All-Stars defeated the Hounds, 4-0, but for me, the game itself wasn’t the highlight of this particular evening. What took place prior to the first pitch should have made Play of the Day segments on Comcast SportsNet Chicago or ESPN. Members of the Military AllStars and the Hounds lined up along the first and third-base lines. Then, the mother, wife and family of Pfc. Gunnar R. Hotchkin of Naperville—a 1997 Hinsdale Central graduated who was killed in June, 2010, by an improvised explosive device while serving in Afghanistan—walked onto the pitcher’s mound.

See HEROES, page 13

Sports HEROES Continued from page 12 Four All-Stars team members lined up in front of the family.

One by one, each took a turn solemnly folding the American flag. While one teammate folded the flag, another faced him, stood at attention and saluted.

The folded flag was then handed to Hotchkin’s mother, Christine.

She was flanked by Hotchkin’s wife, Erin, the couple’s three children and Hotchkin’s brother, Kurt.

One of the three children, Ethan, threw out the first pitch.

The national anthem was played on a bugle by a man in military uniform while the entire U.S. Military All-Stars team, facing the flag, saluted in unison.

This sight alone, combined with the ceremony honoring Pfc. Hotchkin, drove the point home to me that the freedoms we enjoy aren’t to be taken for granted. Men and women who volunteer to serve in our nation’s armed forces today—and men and women of generations past—have sacrificed, spilled blood and died to preserve these

LOVE Continued from page 11 because I need that Sunday to do nothing and relax, because I work a lot of hours,” said Wisbrock, who turns 35 this year.

“It beats you up. When you hit that 30 (year-old) mark, it take a few days to recover.”

Williams, 28, who played football for three years at Naperville North and one year at College of DuPage, can relate.

“When I was younger, the next day I’m fine (after a game),” Williams said.“Now, it takes three to four days.”

Wisbrock, who spent eight years with the Leyden Lions prior to joining the Thunder this summer—Leyden is one of the Thunder’s rivals in the MSFL’s Southeast Division—tore his ACL midway through last season.

Even though he knew he had injured his knee, he kept playing.

He didn’t get an MRI until the end of the season.

“That’s when we found out how bad it really was,” he said.

He underwent reconstructive surgery the day after Christmas.

freedoms.

It made me wish that some students who I hear talking, giggling or making cymbalcrash noises while the national anthem is being played before a high school athletic event would have attended this game. Perhaps they would have gained a fresh perspective on the ultimate prices hundreds of thousands have paid on their behalf.

During pregame, I chatted for a few minutes with Karl Seiter, a Florida native, who’s been with the club since 2009 as a playermanager-general manager.

“I’m the coach, slash, manager, slash, general manager,” he said with a wry smile.

We initially talked about the team, founded as the U.S. Navy Baseball Club by Terry Allvord, a retired Navy commander. The team later included all branches of the military. Seiter estimates the All-Stars play around 100 games each year throughout the U.S. and in six countries as part of its “Red, White and Blue Tour.”

A former all-state high school baseball player, Seiter made quite a debut for the All-Stars.

He suited up against part of the Boston Red Sox’s spring training

and played in the Thunder’s season-opener July 13.

“It’s all right,” Wisbrock said of his knee. “It’s sore, but it seems to be good.”

Terry Thomas is the Thunder’s owner, president and head coach.

Steve Slwicka,who had played for the Thunder and other semipro clubs for over 10 years, became the team’s general manager this season and considers Thomas to be a father figure.

“He’s like a father to us more than he is a coach,” Slwicka said.

Slwicka, a former allconference, all-city and allChicago Public League lineman at Hubbard, also co-hosts “The Steve and Joe Show,” a podcast which features a review of the week’s games and guests from the MSFL every Monday night from 8 to 10.

“It’s just a passion for me, football,” Slwicka said. “Some people go to bars; some people smoke; some play football. It’s an addiction. There’s no other sport where you have the camaraderie like you do with football.

“The league continues to grow.

As far as our team, we’ve been together 23 years, and it just keeps growing every year.” mike@buglenewspapers.com

team and hit two doubles. He also won a home-run derby later that day.

Seiter happily volunteered that information. Getting him to talk about his military background, though, was like pulling teeth. He mentioned, almost nonchalantly, that he served 30 months in Iraq and Afghanistan.

He never said anything about being an Army Ranger and getting wounded by a roadside bomb while in a Humvee in Iraq, which left shrapnel is his back.

I only learned of Seiter being wounded after reading his bio.

“They all have stories,” said Jack Deheer, a retired Chicago Police officer who tours with the All-Stars periodically as its third-base coach. “There’s some stories here that they’d probably rather not talk about, but believe me, these guys are so important to us.”

To the U.S. Military All-Stars; to you, Karl; and to those currently in uniform—as well as to our veterans—thank you for your service. mike@buglenewspapers.com

golF Course reView

A severely elevated tee box can make the par-3 eighth hole a difficult shot.

Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

Downers Grove Golf Club makes you want more The Downers Grove Golf Club makes you leave wanting more.

T h a t ’ s because the original site of America’s first 18-hole golf course is now nine holes.

And, it is nine unique holes that you wish were 18 or even 27 holes.

Before I dive into the holes, the history of the course is rather interesting.

It was established on the site in 1892 as the Chicago Golf Club.

The course began as a ninehole course and expanded to 18 holes the next year. It was one of the five founding clubs of the United States Golf Association.

The following year the Chicago Golf Club relocated in Wheaton

and soon after the club moved back to nine holes. While there have been changes to the course, there are still several original holes, Nos. 2, 4, 7, 8 and 9.

The Downers Grove Golf Club offers a variety of tee boxes, as well as tees. The longest tees are the blues, which play to 3,280 yards. Next are the whites, which are at 3,041. The Gold is at 2,782 and the Red is 2,515.

It all starts off with a hilly first hole, a preview of what is to come throughout the round. It is a rather intimidating hole for the opener, and fairly long from the whites at 398 yards.

The second hole was the most difficult one of the day for both Mark Gregory and myself. It is a 394-yard par-4 with a creek and swamp to the right as well as in the middle of the fairway. I found the water twice on the hole.

A par-5 was next, with the

water to the right, but not long at all, playing just 425 yards from the white. However, it is uphill and, as is the case on all the holes, there are trees stopping a wayward drive off the fairway.

The fourth hole is a sharp dogleg left and is followed by another dogleg left, both short par-4s. They are totally different holes though. After facing trees on the dogleg on the fourth, there really is no actual dogleg on the fifth. However, there are bunkers in the middle of the fairway, making the average hitter either lay up or play to the right, making it a dogleg.There is also a swamp to the right to add to the difficulty. If you are able to hit the fairway with a driver, it is a birdie hole.

There is finally a par-3 at the sixth hole. It is fairly long at 163 yards and faces water on the right with bunkers covering the green.

The seventh hole seems like an easy and straight par-4, but it is rather tight and is important to find the fairway.

The eighth hole is a par-3 that plays 184 yards from the white! It is a tough hole due to the distance from the white, but the special blue tees that are sometimes found on a cliff to the left makes the hole even harder and its signature.

The ninth hole isn’t overly difficult as a par-5, with water to the left but plays at only 449 from the blue.

There were plenty of positives about the course. Each hole was unique, making you feel like you are playing a different course each time, with the same feel of the course though with the slopes and the trees.

Despite the lack of recent rain, the course was in excellent shape, still green on both the

fairways and the greens and the greens were smooth.

The tee boxes were very impressive as well as you could hardly find a divot.

Even the workers there were friendly, from the clubhouse to the ranger and starter. The ranger had a cooler of ice with him to help the guests stay cool in the 95-degree heat.

It is hard to find a flaw with the course, but since I do, it would have to be the fact that it isn’t 18 holes.

The greens fees are even fair, at just $19 for nine holes and $9 for a cart on weekdays.

This is a highly recommended course, especially when you are looking to play a quick nine. For us it was very quick as the heat kept people away and we were able to play in an hour-and-a-half.

Logano wins at Chicagoland Speedway

By Jerry Bonkowski Special to NASCAR Wire Service

Some drivers take a vacation on an off week from the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, go to the beach, play golf or just take it easy.

Not Joey Logano. Instead of relaxing on the final off-weekend for the Sprint Cup Series, he decided to race in Sunday’s NASCAR Nationwide Series STP 300 at Chicagoland Speedway.

It was a wise move on Logano’s part, as he took the lead on the final restart and led the final 15 laps to win his second NNS race of the season. His other win was June 1 at Dover International Speedway.

“I was okay doing nothing on the off-weekend, but you can’t say no to RP (team owner Roger Penske),” Logano said with a

laugh.

“At the start of the race, I thought we had a third-place car, but we made some adjustments and got it a lot better,” Logano said.

Race leader Sam Hornish Jr. and Penkse Racing teammate Logano battled hard on the final restart, with Logano finally storming past Hornish coming out of Turn 2 on Lap 186 and never looked back.

“That was a big momentum switch for us after two bad races last weekend at New Hampshire,” Logano said. “We’re looking forward to getting to Indianapolis next weekend, we’ll be running both races and hopefully we can get some momentum from this win going forward there.”

Hornish finished second, followed by Austin Dillon, Elliott Sadler and Brian Vickers.

Joey Logano celebrates in Victory Lane following his win in the STP 300 at Chicagoland Speedway on July 21, 2013 in Joliet.

“We would have liked to win, but you can’t complain too much with it being a 1-2 Penske finish, it was a really good thing,” Hornish said.

More importantly for Hornish, he regained the lead in the Nationwide Series points standings, passing former leader Regan Smith. Hornish now leads Smith by seven points.

“We’ve gone from being 58 points behind after Michigan

to seven ahead,” Hornish said.

“What we do now is try to figure out where to go from here.”

Sadler dominated early in the race from the Coors Light Pole, but struggled at the end. Still, finishing fourth was a shot in the arm, especially after being wrecked out late in last Saturday’s NNS race at New Hampshire. “(We) should have been in victory lane, but I tried to be too greedy and keep my car too low

and it bit us there at the end,” Sadler said. “We’ll have to take what it gave us, fourth-place and we’ll go on to Indy.”

The only driver in the top 10 who changed position in the standings was Allgaier, who dropped from fourth to fifth in the standings.

Sixth through 10th in the race were Parker Kligerman, Trevor Bayne, Justin Allgaier, Brad Sweet and Matt Crafton.

WEEKLY RACING UPDATE BUD TO FOLLOW HARVICK For more than 30 years Budweiser has sponsored some of NASCAR’s top race car drivers. The King of Beers will continue its rich tradition in the sport by joining Kevin Harvick as he moves to Stewart-Haas Racing in 2014 to drive the No. 4 Chevrolet SS in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.

“Over the last three years, Kevin has been an amazing ambassador for Budweiser, both on and off the track,” said Blaise D’Sylva, vice president of media, sports and entertainment marketing, Anheuser-Busch.“We value that level of commitment, and we’re proud to join him at Stewart-Haas Racing next season.”

Under the terms of the deal, Budweiser will serve as primary sponsor of the No. 4 Chevrolet for 20 races as well as the Budweiser Duel during Budweiser Speedweeks at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway. Budweiser will serve as a major associate sponsor for the remaining races on the Sprint Cup Series schedule.

“I’ve developed a great relationship with so many people at Budweiser and am very happy it’s an association that will continue for many years to come,” said Harvick, who has represented Budweiser since 2011. “We’ve enjoyed a lot of success together and our expectations match right up with those of Stewart-Haas Racing.”

Business & Real Estate

Brilliant interview questions for prospective hires Q. I am being asked to do more and more hiring of new employees for my team.

We have a standard set of interview questions, but people don’t always tell the truth. Especially when it comes to interpersonal skills, I have trouble screening for quality people.

Are there any brilliant interview questions that reveal the personality I’m about to hire?

A.Yes, you can ask questions where people who are difficult to work with will chose to ask for pity rather than take responsibility. People who have poor communication skills generally have had bad

experiences in many jobs.The problem is they don’t see the common denominator is them.

An excellent question to ask job candidates is whether they have experienced good fortune or whether they have ended up in unfair circumstances. People who are accountable will not use the interview to whine about how mean everyone has been to them.

Another smart inquiry during interviews is to ask about any behavior they feel past bosses, teachers or managers did that created problems for them.

Again, an employee you don’t want to hire will leap at the

chance to enlighten you about what a victim they’ve been. Even people who are more responsible will end up telling you areas where they are touchy. If you have a stellar candidate who complains about managers being condescending, you’ll now have a chance to weigh out his genius against this chip on his shoulder.

Surprisingly, people who are irresponsible don’t see an issue in using an interview to complain.

Prospective hires who use the interview as a therapy session to vent about bad experiences are about to see you as the next perpetrator of their misery.

As much as you think you’re a caring and competent manager, anyone who tells you repeated bad experiences will see you through a negative lens. People tend to pack up their bag of troubles and cart them to their new manager. Unfortunately, they don’t see that their behavior is generating the same negative reaction in their new employer.

Anytime your pity button is getting pushed during an interview beware.There is excellent research on psychopaths that indicate the main way they manipulate people is by fishing for sympathy.

People who use others know that most people are vulnerable to poor decision making when they feel sorry for others.

What you want to see during an interview is multiple aspects of accountability. If they had a

problem, they found a solution. If they had difficult circumstances, they coped or changed their behavior.You want employees that experience low drama in their interpersonal relationships because they don’t create emotional chaos in people around them.

Remember when you are bringing someone new on your team, you can train for technical skills but you are stuck with the personality of your new employee. If you don’t take the opportunity to realistically evaluate the emotional wellness of a new hire, you may find yourself dreading Monday morning.

Effective managers know they’ll never “coach” a difficult employee into a new character.

Hiring people who see themselves as responsible,

resilient and resourceful is a gift that keeps giving.

The last word(s) Q. I work with a guy who is always unhappy. I keep trying to get on his good side but am getting nowhere. Is there a way to win him over?

A. No, focus on your own effectiveness and not your coworker’s approval.As Ben Franklin observed,“A quarrelsome man has no good neighbors.”

Daneen Skube, Ph.D., executive coach, trainer, therapist and speaker, also appears as the FOX Channel’s “Workplace Guru” each Monday morning. She’s the author of “Interpersonal Edge: Breakthrough Tools for Talking to Anyone, Anywhere, About Anything” (Hay House, 2006).

Parents giving the guilt trip over money Dear Dave, My parents have always had financial problems, and they recently lost their home.

They have a place to live, but my father has been asking me for money. He calls me over to talk about this when my mother isn’t there and my husband isn’t home. He’s even asked for half of a $150,000 inheritance I received from my grandparents.

He’s really making me feel guilty, and I’m not sure what to do.

Elena Dear Elena, Your brain knows what to do, but your heart is having a hard time doing it. Your father is a

manipulator, and we’re not going to let that pattern continue.

There’s nothing wrong with doing a few, short-term things to help them get back on their feet. But in return, you should expect them to change the behaviors that have put them in this situation.

Also, there should be no more private meetings with your father. If he wants to talk, make sure he understands it will be with your husband and mother present.

To this point all of his schemes have been on the side, and this needs to be brought out into the open and stopped.You love your parents. That, along with your

dad’s behavior, is what’s making this so difficult. But participating in this sort of thing isn’t going to help them. You take away a person’s dignity when you subsidize them permanently.You also change their status and their ability to stand on their own two feet.

Any help you give needs to be short-term in nature—a gift.

You and your husband should be in agreement on exactly what you’re going to do, and it should be on your terms. Don’t get involved in giving them money every month for the rest of their lives just because they had you. That’s not how this works. There’s an ongoing sense of entitlement here that needs to be nipped in the bud!

—Dave

Summer vegetables, Provence-style Slender Asian eggplant is the star of this tasty ratatouille

W

alk into any farmers’ market right now and you’ll be dazzled by the colors of summer: deep red tomatoes; green, red, and yellow bell peppers; purple or violet eggplants; bright green and golden zucchini. It’s all I can do to stop myself from grabbing that beautiful fresh produce and eating it right there!

But I have a good reason to wait. Those seasonal vegetables also make up most of the ingredients list for one of my favorite dishes right now: ratatouille.

Nowadays, most people recognize that word because it’s the title of a popular animated film about a rat who dreams of culinary stardom. But

RATATOUILLE Serves 4 to 6 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 pound yellow onions, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes 1 pound slender Asian-style eggplant, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes 1 pound yellow bell peppers, halved, stemmed, seeded, deveined, and cut into 1-inch cubes 1 pound sun-ripened red tomatoes, cored, halved, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes 1/2 pound zucchini, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced Leaves of 1 sprig fresh thyme 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper 2 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar 4 to 6 fresh basil leaves, stacked, rolled lengthwise, and cut crosswise into thin strips 3 green onions, white parts only, thinly sliced In a large, heavy nonreactive skillet or

food lovers know it really refers to a classic vegetable stew from Provence in the south of France, the name coming from a local word meaning “to toss.” That’s an apt description for the way cubes of summer vegetables are simply tossed together in a pan and left to stew gently until they soften and their delicious juices mingle.

I certainly made, and ate, a lot of ratatouille in my early 20s when I cooked under the great, now late, chef Raymond Thuilier at the Michelin threestar restaurant L’Oustau de Baumaniere in the village of Les Baux-de-Provence. But, really, you don’t have to be a three-star chef to make great ratatouille. All it takes is good produce and a little patience.

Start with a visit to the farmers’ market, or a supermarket with a good produce section. Look first for summer’s finest tomatoes, deep red, juicy and sweet.

Move on to the bell peppers; I like to use yellow ones, not only because they’re sweeter than green peppers but also because they add another

saucepan, heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil over medium heat.

Add the onion and saute, stirring frequently, until it turns translucent, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the eggplant, bell peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Transfer the mixture to a large nonreactive bowl and leave at room temperature until cooled. Gently stir in the vinegar and the remaining olive oil.Taste and adjust the seasonings, if necessary, with more salt and pepper.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving time. Remove about half an hour before serving time.

For a side dish to a hot main course, gently reheat the ratatouille in a nonreactive saucepan. For an appetizer or a salad, serve at room temperature. Either way, transfer the ratatouille to a serving bowl or individual plates and sprinkle it with the basil and green onions.

Slender Asian eggplant is the star of this tasty ratatouille.

color.

Then, on to the eggplants and zucchini, looking for smaller, more slender

specimens, which have fewer, less pronounced seeds.

Don’t forget some fresh herbs to scent the stew - fresh basil and thyme - and also onions, green onions (for garnish), garlic, and olive oil if they’re not already in your pantry.

Apart from salt and pepper and some sherry vinegar, that’s it. And the only prep you need to do is cutting up those starring vegetables, making sure

the pieces are uniform for even cooking and more attractive results.

Then, get started, and your ratatouille will be done in about half an hour.

The stew is as versatile as it is easy. Try it hot as a side or chunky base for grilled seafood, poultry, or meat. Or enjoy it cold on a bed of baby greens as an appetizer or salad, adding a touch more olive oil and good vinegar to highlight its flavors.

However you serve it, you’ll savor summer at its best - all while solidifying your own reputation as a culinary star.
