Chilympics cook-off to bring out Downers Grove’s best chili chefs

By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

E

very four years, the world’s greatest athletes train tirelessly to compete in the Olympic Games. Now, Downers Grove chili enthusiasts will have a competition of their own, not quite similar in magnitude, but one that is expected to draw quite a crowd.

The inaugural Downers Grove Chilympics will pit the community’s greatest chili chefs against one another in a home-style chili cook-off event from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Saturday, Sept. 28, in Fishel Park, 1036 Grove St. “This is something that we have not seen in Downers Grove before; it’s something

that other communities offer, and it’s just something different to offer to the community,”said Park District spokesperson Justine Goode.“This is something that fits in with the fall season and something we think will be a fun fall event.”

Goode added she expects the inaugural cook-off to draw over 1,000 attendees throughout the day and that the Park District is hoping to turn the Chilympics into an annual event.

Downers Grove Commissioner Bob Barnett announced at the Sept. 10 Village Council meeting that he will compete in the Chilympics event.

DG pizzeria changes name following suit by Giordano’s

By Staff Reports

A Chicago favorite, Giordano’s pizza, recently filed a lawsuit against a Downers Grove restaurant for unlawful use of the company’s trademark.

The lawsuit alleged that Giordano Fresh and Crispy Pizza Co., 2021 W. Ogden Ave., intentionally and “in deliberate and knowing disregard of Giordano’s exclusive ownership rights” used the company’s trademark.

As a result of the suit, the Downers Grove restaurant has changed its name to Nick’s Fresh and Crispy Pizzeria and Subs.

“Defendant’s use of the Infringing Mark in relation to its restaurant has

caused confusion and is likely to continue to cause confusion in the marketplace in that the Infringing Mark incorporates the Giordano’s Mark and the services provided by the defendant under the Infringing Mark are identical to the services provided by Giordano’s or its licensees …,” states a complaint filed with the U.S. District Court in Chicago.

Attorneys for VPC Pizza IP LLC, which owns the trademarks and intellectual property rights for the Giordano’s brand, say the defendant in the case is a direct competitor with a Giordano’s licensee also located in Downers Grove.The complaint also includes an email from an alleged customer of Giordano Fresh and Crispy Pizza

who claims they were misled by that company’s name.

The email, submitted to Giordano’s website on Aug. 25, claims the customer went to the Ogden Avenue pizzeria instead of the Giordano’s franchise on Main Street in Downers Grove, according to the complaint.

Attorneys for Giordano’s are asking that Giordano Fresh and Crispy Pizza stop using what they are calling the Infringing Mark and damages.

“Giordano’s seeks injunctive relief and actual damages, including defendant’s profits derived from its unauthorized trademark use and Giordano’s cost and attorneys’ fees,” the complaint states.

CHILI Continued from page 1 cook friends, and I’m hoping some of you will take up the challenge,” Barnett joked with his fellow commissioners.“If nothing else, we can have a little internal wager on it.”

Downers Grove Mayor Martin Tully will serve as a judge for Chilympics.

“I’m looking forward to the event, it’s going to be a lot of fun and I’m already stocking up on my antacid,” Tully said.

In addition to sharing their chili recipes to the larger Downers Grove community,Chilympics participants will have the opportunity to win a $600 grand prize and share their recipes with the world during the International Chili Society World Finals in October. The event is sanctioned by the ICS, and that means the winner of Downers Grove’s Chilympics will advance the World Finals in California.

“The Park District is going to be giving the winner of the over all chili cook-off one of those large checks, and that money is basically to cover the cost of getting to Palm

5

Springs, California,” Goode said.

To make the event ICS sanctioned, Park District had to complete a series of steps, including an application process, abiding by ICS rules and ensuring at least 10 participants competed in the event.

“That is what makes it a sanctioned event,” Goode said of the need for 10 participants.“Myself and Kari Loekle, the supervisor of the event, have been going out into the community to solicit people to come in and participate.”

Second and third place winners will also receive a prize, and a People’s Choice competition will be open for the public to weigh in on which recipe they think is best.

The cost for People’s Choice is $5 for three tastings.

This year,attendees will be treated to live music by Billy Croft and the 5-Alarm and SODA. There will also be a variety of beer and food vendors open from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Goode said the Park District may add more entertainment elements to the event in future years.

The event is sponsored by the Downers Grove Park District,Lemon Tree Grocer, 104.3 K-hits, Downers Grove Convention and Visitors Bureau, 98.3 WCCQ, Main Street Chiropractic and Whole Foods.

Westmont to host Citizens Police Academy The Westmont Police Department will once again host a nine-week Citizens Police Academy class every Wednesday evenings starting Oct. 2 and ending Dec. 4.

The classes will be held from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Westmont Police Department, 500 N. Cass Avenue. Class will not be held during Thanksgiving week.

This unique opportunity will give participants, who either live or work within the village of Westmont, an opportunity to interact with members of the department and gain an

invaluable insight into the daily operations of the department.

Participants must be at least 18 years of age, pass a criminal background check and sign a waiver and hold harmless document. Registration will be limited to 25 participants.

Applications are available at the Westmont Police Department or at the Westmont Village Hall and must be received by 5 p.m. on Sept. 27.

D58 approves 2013-14 budget Staff to look at areas for saving measures in anticipation of difficult 2015-16 budget year The District 58 Board of Education voted Sept.

9 to approve the 2013-14 budget, which was reviewed and discussed at several public meetings during the last few months.

All decisions regarding District 58’s budget were made with the district’s mission first and foremost, which is, in partnership with parents and community, to challenge and engage each child by providing quality educational programs and support services in a safe, nurturing and childcentered environment in order to prepare all students to be lifelong learners and contributing members of a global society.

“District 58 continues to spend responsibly while at the same time achieving excellent results for our students,” District 58 Superintendent Kari Cremascoli said. “Thanks to our conservative budgeting, proactive responses to economic conditions, and maintenance of fund balances, our financial position has remained solid despite continued cutbacks in state funding.”

The district’s 2012 Financial Profile placed District 58 within the Illinois State Board of Education’s Financial Recognition category, a designation it has achieved every year since the ISBE began using the Financial Profile to evaluate districts 11 years ago.

The 2013-14 budget includes approximately $60 million in normal operating aggregate revenues and just over $60 million in normal operating aggregate expenditures. This includes approximately $3.6 million in one-time capital projects split between the Life Safety Fund ($1.4 million) and the Capital Projects Fund ($2.2 million). The capital projects

are coming out of available fund balances.The Life Safety projects, including flooring at five schools and security upgrades District-wide, are coming from the recent $5 million Life Safety bond issue. For details on the district’s planned 2013 and 2014 facilities projects, visit www.dg58.org/ domain/734.

The District is expected to retain its financial standing through 2014-15. However, in order to maintain the District’s financial stability, staff will need to begin looking at cutbacks and other savings measures, as well as potential revenue generators, in anticipation of projected deficits in 2015-16, said Controller James Popernik.

“Even in a difficult financial environment over the past several years, District 58 has maintained a high level of financial stability, while at the same time expanding staff and services and accomplishing nearly $20 million on much-needed capital projects.We are now getting caught up on facilities work that had been put off for many years due to previous cutbacks,” Popernik said. “Unfortunately, due to continued cuts to our expected revenues, particularly state funding and interest earnings, the district’s financial stability and strength are beginning to weaken.”

At the end of the 2013-14 fiscal year, the state owed the District approximately $700,000, and payment uncertainty from the state is again factored into the district’s 2013-14 budget.

The fund balances at the end of 2013-14 will be at the low end of the target range set by the Board. In addition, several operating funds are projected to have a slight shortfall this year.

Planned transfers include $1.5 million from the Working Cash Fund to the Operations and Maintenance Fund, as well as $900,000 from the Medical Reserve to the Education Fund, and $100,000 from the Medical Reserve to the Operations and Maintenance Fund.

Five District 99 students named 2014 National Merit Semifinalists Five students at Community High School District 99 have been designated as semifinalists in the 2014 National Merit

Scholarship Program, an academic competition for recognition and scholarships sponsored by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation.

Students are selected based on test scores, an essay, their schools’ curricula and school official recommendations, as well as involvement in activities and leadership.

Of the 1.5 million entrants, approximately 16,000 semifinalists were named in the U.S. Merit scholarship winners will be selected next spring, and are eligible for approximately 8,000 scholarships with more than $35 million offered.

The District 99 students selected include: Rachel Clivaz (North High School student from

Woodridge); Gwendolyn Cortez (North High School student from Woodridge); Andrew Molina (South High School student from Downers Grove); Katherine Portman (North High School student from Downers Grove); and Nolan Reilly (South High School student from Downers Grove).

“All of us at District 99 congratulate these students on their achievements,”SuperintendentMark McDonald said.“Our community is proud of their recognition in this prestigious program.”

Downers North blanked by Glenbard West

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

The direction of the game between Glenbard West and Downers North Friday, Sept.

13 was determined in the first quarter.

The Trojans (2-1) got the ball first but went three-and-out.

Meanwhile, The Hilltoppers (21) converted a 3rd-and-14 on a draw play and then a 3rd-and-9 on a touchdown pas to take a 7-0 lead.

That was all they would need as the defending Class 7A champs won 21-0.

“We got the ball to start and didn’t get a first down,” Downers North coach John Wander said. “We wanted to move the ball past the 50. Their first drive they go down and score. Then it was a see-saw battle.”

Both teams would trade punts and a drive by Downers North gave it the field position edge after punting the ball to the 4-yard line.

However, with over six minutes left on the first half clock, Glenbard West went 96 yards and scored a touchdown with 34 seconds left in the half for a 14-0 lead. A 24-yard run on 3rd-and-9 to the 1-yard line was a big play in the drive.

“The first touchdown wasn’t a big deal, but the 96-yard touchdown drive was a big deal,” Wander stated. “Then they came right on in the third quarter and scored. You aren’t going to score 28 points against that team, you never do. That’s a good football team.”

That 48-yard touchdown run

by Pernevion Sheppard with 10:29 left in the third quarter made the score 21-0.

The Trojans were able to sustain a drive in the third quarter, but a deflected pass

was picked off as they had reached the Glenbard West 21yard line with 2:18 left in the third quarter.

Downers North was able to keep the Hilltoppers from scoring as they missed two field goals and were stopped on downs, but the Trojans were unable to threaten again.

A big difference in the game was the third down conversions, as the Hilltoppers

converted several big ones, while the Trojans struggled to stay on the field.

“They had a 3rd-and-9 and 3rd-and-14 and capitalized on them,” Wander said. “We had 3rd-and-2 and 3rd-and-3 and didn’t capitalize. That’s the key to the game.”

While Downers North will need help to win the West Suburban Silver championship now, there still is a chance the

two schools could meet again in the playoffs.

“It was for a conference championship,” Wander said.

“So, it’s back to the drawing board. (If we play them again), we’ll play a harder game than we did tonight.”

Downers North will travel to Oak Park-River Forest (3-0) Friday.

“We’re coming back down to Earth,” Wander said. “We were

sky high, now we’re back down to Earth. We’ll see how we do.”

•Downers South beat Addison Trail 40-21.

•Benet took down St. Patrick 37-13. Brad Sznajder, filling in for the injured Porter Ontko, who is out for the year with an ACL injury, had 122 yards rushing. Jack Beneventi added 189 yards through the air.

Youth served in Trojans’ win over Mustangs

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

Scott Taylor/Bugle Staff

Sophomores Mary Beacom (left) and Madison Sturm go up for a block in Downers North’s three-set win over Downers South Sept. 11.

There is a youth movement on the volleyball courts in Downers Grove.

In the crosstown matchup between Downers North and Downers South Sept. 11 at South, there were a total of four seniors on the two rosters.

That made for a combination of intense volleyball as well as mistakes.

In the end it was Downers North who held off the Mustangs, 25-22, 21-25, 25-20.

“That’s the consistency issue,” Downers North coach Mark Wasik said. “When you can rely on a senior-dominant team, you aren’t talking about consistency.

Young players don’t have that experience yet.That’s what both teams are going to deal with at times.”

“We had nine service errors,” Downers South coach Trisha Kurth said. “There were a lot of people in the gym tonight. The girls were a little timid and they didn’t want to make the error.

They have to get rid of that and play with everything they’ve got or they aren’t going to win the big matches. Some of them are getting it, some will have to work along the way.”

The Trojans trailed 5-1 in the

third set before rallying to win.

“I think we stayed focused and were mentally in it,” North senior outside Katherine Mahlke said. “We didn’t let our mistakes get to us. We shook it off and worried about the next one.”

“We felt like it was on our court to take care of business,” Wasik said. “Downers South played a nice match, but a lot of points in game two was us not executing. We came out flat in game three, but came back and got consistent, especially from the service line.”

“Our serve-receive broke down a little bit in that third set,” Kurth said. “There’s kind of no returning at that point.

Somebody has to step it up.

We’re just young, we have to find some consistency.We’re just young, we just have to figure it out. It’s early.”

It helped to have a senior leader like Mahlke, a Michigan recruit and one of the seniors for the Trojans, on the team.

“I just had to stay focused and be consistent for my team.

I definitely want to help the other girls out and help them stay focused,” Mahlke said. “We have a lot of really competitive younger players. It helps that they want to get better and try See TROJANS, page 15

Kenseth wins Geico 400

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

After a five-plus hour rain delay turned the Geico 400 from a day race top a night race to kick off the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, the top of the leader board stayed the same.

Matt Kenseth, driver of the No. 20 Dollar General Toyota, took the lead on the restart on lap 245 to get in front of his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch who had led the race prior to the caution.

“I was worried about the rain,the track conditions in the nighttime,” Kenseth said. “I thought we were going to be better in a hotter, slick condition. But just shows I don’t know what I’m talking about.I had a good car, great pit stops and great strategy. Then we had that restart at the end and got that push from Kevin that put us out front where we really needed to be.”

It was the sixth win for Kenseth this season, the most by any Cup driver.

Kyle Busch was second, giving JGR the top two spots in the race.

SHAKE ANYONE? While most drivers sat in their haulers and watched football during the five-hour rain delay Sunday, rookie Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. made different use of his time.

“I went to Sonic,” he said. “Gave

me a little bit of energy.Took a nap and really played it out well.”

Stenhouse placed eighth in the race, the highest finishing rookie in the field.

MATH 101 During the race, Stenhouse said his spotter had a bit of a math issue.

“My spotter told me there was 20 to go when there was 30 to go,” Stenhouse said. “He might need a little help because I think a crew chief is normally talking to him, telling him how many to go. He missed that by 10.Then I stayed out there under that last caution. They said we had 25 to go. I was like, I thought you said we had 20 to go five laps to go. That threw us off a little bit.”

Kyle Bush joked the spotter must need a new calculator.

NEAR SWEEP After winning the truck race Friday and the Nationwide race Saturday, Kyle Busch came close to a clean sweep of the weekend Sunday when he finished second to Matt Kenseth at the Geico 400.

Busch said he was thinking about the sweep as he led close to the end of the race, before a caution caused him to lose the lead on a restart.

“Oh, yeah. I watched it slip right

away,”Busch said.“It sucks. Nothing you can do about it. Certainly it would be nice if we could have won tonight and brought home a Trifecta. I didn’t think we had a chance after yesterday’s practice.

In the race today, the car was totally different. I could drive the heck out of it. It was going to be cool.

There’s always those cautions.”

LUCKY 13 When the race at Joliet finally did kick off, it did so with 13 drivers in the Chase for the Sprint Cup for the first time in the 10 years of the Chase.

It was on Friday the 13th that NASCAR added Jeff Gordon to the Chase as well, following the decisions that drivers attempted to alter the results for teammates at Richmond.

“It was a lot of up-and-downs of emotions for this entire team this week,” Gordon said.“They’ve been through a lot. They never gave up.

Not only Saturday night, but this entire week, and I’m proud of that.

I’m very appreciative, very thankful to be in, and I know it’s under the most unbelievable circumstances I’ve ever been a part of in my racing career, and I wish that all of this hadn’t happened. I wish that we could have just raced for it on Saturday night, but that wasn’t the See KENSETH, page 15

Furyk shoots 59; Johnson wins BMW

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

Zach Johnson rallied from three strokes down Monday, Sept. 16 to win the BMW Championship at Conway Farms G.C. in Lake Forest.

Johnson entered the final round, which was postponed from Sunday, three strokes behind Jim Furyk at 10-under par. However, Johnson shot a 6-under par 65 to overtake Furyk, who shot even par 71 and finished third.

Nick Watney had the best score of the round, shooting a 64 to vault him into second place.

Watney entered the tournament outside the top 30 of the FedEx Cup standings, but with his showing he moved up to 12th.The top 30 in the standings advance to the Tour Championship, which opens Thursday, Sept. 19.

The only other player from outside the top 30 to play his way

in was Luke Donald, who calls Conway Farms his home course.

Donald didn’t look like he was going to take advantage of the home course advantage after a pair of 70s, but he closed with rounds of 67 and 66 to finish tied for fourth along with Jason Day, Hunter Mahan and Steve Stricker.

Tiger Woods had a pair of 66s in the tournament,but were followed by a 72 and 71 as he finished in a tie for 11th. However,Woods leads the FedEx Cup standings.

MR. 59 Those at Conway Farms saw a piece of history Friday as Jim Furyk became the sixth player to shoot a 59 on the PGA Tour. For the round he had 11 birdies an eagle and a bogey. His eagle came on a pitch-in from the fairway on the 15th hole, his sixth hole of the day.

Needed a birdie on the ninth hole, his final hole of the day, Furyk nailed a pitch shot to within three feet.

“It was just kind of a smooth gap wedge for me, kind of bread and butter,” Furyk said. It was hard enough where I could hit it but it wasn’t an easy shot. I could make a good swing at it. It was kind of a perfect yardage.”

Furyk, who has won a U.S. Open at Olympia Fields in the Chicagoland area, admitted that it was his best round of his career.

“Absolutely, absolutely,” Furyk responded when asked if it was his best round. “I’ve played a couple of good ones throughout my career. But that magic number, it’s hard to get under 30 on nine, and then it’s really hard to get under 60 for a day. It definitely played some tricks with my head on the way in.”

It has been historically difficult to follow a low round with another low round, but Furyk managed a 69, while 10 strokes worse than the previous day, was still good enough to take a two stroke lead.

“It kind of felt like a victory lap,” Furyk said. “People kept cheering for me all the way around. It was a good day, a lot of positive fans, the occasional one that likes to give me a hard time, but 99.9 percent were very positive. It was fun.

“I think it’s always difficult, even if you go out and fire a 62 or 63, it’s always difficult to kind of follow that up with a low number, and it probably took me a few holes to really get in the flow out there and

feel good.”

TIGER PENALTY Tiger Woods was assessed a two-stroke penalty in the second round after the ball moved while he was set up. Woods felt that it didn’t move and just oscillated. It occurred on the first hole where he ended up taking an eight.

“It’s one of those things where I thought the ball oscillated, and I thought that it was,”Woods said.“I played the shot, played the round, and then (rules officials) in there, they replayed it and gave me two.

I was pretty hot because I felt like nothing happened. I played the rest of the round grinding my tail off to get myself back in the tournament and then go from five to seven behind, that was tough.”

HOLE IN ONE

RAINOUT

Hunter Mahan recorded a hole in one at the par-3 17th hole Saturday. Not only did Mahan win himself a brand new BMW, BMW is contributing 100,000 to the Evans Scholars Foundation, which allows a caddie from the foundation to get a full-ride scholarship.The recipient is to be determined.

“Well, that’s amazing,” Mahan said. “That’s awesome for BMW to do that, to have that Evan’s Scholarship. I remember playing the Western Junior and hearing about it, and it’s a great thing that they do. Caddies are a big part of golf, and it’s awesome that a kid is going to have a great education, so that’s amazing.”

Sunday’s final round was mostly wiped out due to rain.A few players were able to finish their rounds, while 22 didn’t tee it up at all.

Steve Stricker, who was in second place entering the final round, was among those not to play.

“I think we got the better end of the deal by not even playing in it,” Stricker said. “It looked like it was pretty tough conditions for everybody, and cold weather and rain.I didn’t have to really go out and get started in it and come back in, all that stuff. So that was good, I guess, in that respect. But I wish we could have got it in. I wish we could have played for all the fans that are here and the sponsors and everything.”

“Mahlke is definitely a luxury to have,” Wasik said. “You can’t replace senior leadership.”

Even with the win, Downers North could take away some things it needs to work on.

“We have to stay consistent all the way through,” Mahlke said. “We have to limit the other team’s runs. Our serves can get a lot better.”

After jumping out to a 6-2 lead in the first set, the Trojans had to hold on for the win on a block kill from Grace Larsen.

Downers South was able to win the second set behind strong team play, led by junior Katie Vondra and Jen Graham, the team’s lone senior.

ON THE MOVE Ryan Newman announced last week, he will drive the No. 31 Chevy for Richard Childress Racing in 2014.

Newman agreed to a threeyear deal after being told prior by Stewart-Haas Racing earlier this year that he would no longer drive for them next season.

“This is a great opportunity for our team,” Richard Childress said in a release Monday. “I am very proud to have Ryan in our No. 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet starting next year.We have high expectations for this No. 31 team. Ryan has proven himself to be a great driver and I’m looking forward to winning races with him.”

Newman is not the only driver making a move, as Stewart-Haas will add Kevin Harvick and Kurt Busch. The moves will leave voids at RCR, Childress and Furniture Row Racing.

119th street rivalry resumes Friday

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

It appeared like the Plainfield North-Plainfield East game Friday night at East would be for first place in the Southwest Prairie Conference.

That will not be the case after both teams suffered one-score losses last Friday.Their outcomes might have put an even greater importance on the game as both teams try to set up for a playoff run.

The rivalry has also taken flight despite both teams being fairly new as the schools are located minutes apart on 119th street, separated by Rt. 59. North won last year at home 28-14, but the Bengals took the win, their first and only win to date against a Plainfield school, two years ago.

Plainfield East (2-1 overall, 0-1 in SPC) is coming off a 14-7 loss to Oswego East. For the first time in program history the Bengals won both nonconference games, but the Wolves were able to exact revenge after the Bengals won last year’s meeting.

Jake Mayon leads the ground game for the Bengals, while fellow junior Cole Kotopka has had some success as quarterback early in the season out of the spread offense.

Junior Daniel Jackson anchors the defensive line for the Bengals, while Omar Salazar and Donte Hartsfield each have a pair of interceptions this year.

After dominating in an opening win over Westinghouse, the

Tigers (1-2, 0-1) have dropped two straight, both equally painful.

They led Pekin 20-0 on the road only to lose 21-20 on a missed field goal.

They were in complete control again last week with a 34-14 lead at Plainfield South in the fourth quarter, but fell 41-34 in overtime.

North is paced by a trio of running backs in Quintin Hoosman, Robert Baker and Chris Dunning in what has been a run-oriented offense so far this year. Hoosman was injured and left the game last week, while Baker was also banged up a bit.

With the way the SPC is shaping up this year, the game has the makings of being a good one. Neither team wants to start 0-2 in the conference and a North loss would put them in a 1-3 hole.

Kickoff time is slated for 7 p.m.

Business & Real Estate

Avoid being communication scapegoat with persistence Q. I’ve noticed this last year that everyone around me seems to have developed Attention Deficit Disorder. I send emails, make phone calls and have personal conversations, and people don’t remember or they misunderstand.Then they blame me! Is there a strategy to avoid always being the scapegoat?

A. Yes, but you’ll have to do the work of dramatically over communicating if you don’t want to get blamed for others lack of attention to detail. Over communicating means you send the same message verbally,

then by email, and then with an additional reminder.

The bottom line is you have to assume that your first or second communication probably didn’t register or weren’t received.You’ll be surprised how often people will respond to your third communication as if it was the first and only message.

When you first start using repetition of messages as your new best friend you will be tempted to use a frustrated tone that you have to do the extra work.Try and remember that you are also the one getting

the results.

Realize that most people you work with are experiencing this problem with dropped communications. Unfortunately, most people don’t even contemplate that the solution is to take more responsibility to over communicate.

Especially with people you frequently engage make a new agreement, tell them you plan to send at least three communications regarding any plans and ask them to do the same. Point out that between the two of you it will be impossible for any balls to get dropped. Missed meetings, incorrect information and miscommunication will cease to be a cause for frustration

with people who agree to your proposal.

You might ask why everyone in business doesn’t simply operate automatically by over communicating since the benefits are so clear.The reason is that many people would rather feel victimized than do the extra work to reduce any opportunity for poor communication.

I’ve had new clients complain it just isn’t fair that other people’s lack of attention becomes their problem.The truth is obviously that other people truly do have a sort of cultural attention deficit these days and are overwhelmed.

You can chose to continually complain about dropped

communications and be miserable.You could chose instead to accept the reality that too much information is competing with too little time and guarantee that your message is the one that gets through

The last word(s) Q. I work with a guy who always expects me to fix his mistakes. I’ve given him the silent treatment and evil eye every time he screws up, but he keeps assuming I’ll help him.

Is there a better way to let him know I’m done covering for him?

A. Yes, stop helping him.

Pouting is never your most powerful communication.

SPAIN’S TOLEDO: A LIVING MONUMENT

tRibuNe CoNteNt AGeNCY

Lassoed by the Tajo River, well-preserved Toledo has been declared a national monument.

O

n my last visit to Toledo, it seemed holier than ever: Dark El Greco clouds threatened overhead, stark against bright, clear horizons. Hail pelted the masses of people clogging the streets as they awaited the Good Friday procession.

A look back at my write-up reveals nothing but superlatives: Toledo’s street plan is the most confusing in Spain, its cathedral the most Gothic (and the most Spanish of all Gothic churches), and the cathedral’s altar the most stunning.

Toledo was once home to Europe’s most powerful king, Charles V, and is papered with the vividly spiritual paintings of the city’s most famous artist, El Greco.

Spain’s former capital crowds 2,500 years of tangled history onto a high, rocky perch protected on three sides by a natural moat, the Tajo River.

Toledo is so well-preserved and packed with cultural wonder that the city itself has been declared a national monument - no modern exteriors are allowed. For centuries, Christians, Muslims and Jews enjoyed this city together.

Toledo’s past is a complex mix of these three great religions.

Today Toledo is filled with tourists day-tripping from

Madrid, a quick 30-minute train ride to the north. And because 2014 marks the 400th anniversary of El Greco’s death, the town’s sights have been beautifully renovated and are ready for primetime.The two biggies are the magnificent cathedral, with a jaw-dropping interior and a sacristy swathed in El Greco’s work, and the Santa Cruz Museum, with its own world-class collection of El Greco paintings.

The cathedral is shoehorned into the old center, where its massive hulk rises brilliantly above the town’s medieval clutter.The interior is laden with elaborate wrought-iron work, lavish wood carvings, and window after colorful window of 500-year-old stained glass. It’s so lofty, rich, and vast that visitors wander around like Pez dispensers stuck open, whispering “Wow.” Drifting among the pillars, it’s easy to imagine a time when the light bulbs were candles and the tourists were pilgrims when every window provided spiritual as well as physical light.

The cathedral’s spectacular altar - real gold on wood, by Flemish, French, and local artists - is one of the country’s best pieces of Gothic art.The complex composition shows

the story of Jesus’ life, conveying the Christian message of salvation.The cathedral’s sacristy is a mini-Prado, with masterpieces by the likes of Francisco de Goya,Titian, Peter Paul Rubens, Diego Velazquez, Caravaggio, Giovanni Bellini and El Grecos (18 of them!).

Born in Greece and trained in Venice, Domenikos Theotocopoulos (tongue-tied friends just called him “The Greek” ... El Greco) came to Spain to get work as a painter.

He found employment in Toledo, where he developed his unique painting style, mixing icon-like faces from his Greek homeland, bold color and twisting poses from his time in Italy, and almost mystical spirituality from Catholic Spain.

Toledo’s Santa Cruz Museum, now completely open after years of renovation, holds a superb collection of El Greco paintings, including the impressive altarpiece, Assumption of Mary. Finished one year before El Greco’s death, it’s the culmination of his inimitable style, combining all his signature elements to express an otherworldly event.

No painter before or since has captured the supernatural world better than El Greco.

True El-Grecophiles will also want to visit the small El Greco Museum, built near the site of El Greco’s house.

It’s worth a stop if only to see

El Greco’s panoramic map of the city as it appeared in 1614 (commissioned to promote Toledo after the king moved to Madrid and the city was no longer Spain’s capital).

A day full of El Greco and the romance of Toledo after dark puts me in the mood for game and other traditional cuisine.Typical Toledo dishes include partridge (perdiz), venison (venado), wild boar (jabali), roast suckling pig (cochinillo asado), or baby lamb (cordero - similarly roasted after a few weeks of mother’s milk).

Toledo’s main square, Plaza de Zocodover, is busy with eateries serving edible food at affordable prices, and its people-watching scene is great. But it’s worth a few extra minutes - and the navigating challenge - to explore Toledo’s side streets and find places where you’ll be eating with locals as well as tourists.

After dinner, I like to enjoy a tasty leftover from Toledo’s Moorish days, almond-fruity mazapan. Shops all over town sell mazapan goodies in readymade gift boxes, but I prefer to select my own. For an evening finale, I take my treats to Plaza del Ayuntamiento and find a bench.The fountain burbles to my right, Spain’s best-looking City Hall is at my back, and before me is her top cathedral - built back when Toledo was Spain’s capital, and still shining brightly against the black night

sky.

If you visit...

SLEEPING: The Parador de Toledo, about two miles outside of town, offers guests the same Toledo view that El Greco made famous (splurge, www.parador. es). Hospederia de los Reyes offers colorful, thoughtfully appointed rooms just outside Toledo’s wall (budget, www. hospederiadelosreyes.com).

EATING: Los Cuatro Tiempos Restaurante (“The Four Seasons”) specializes in local game and roasts, proficiently served in a tasteful and elegant setting (Sixto Ramon Parro 5, tel. 925-223-782). Adolfo Vinoteca is the wine bar of a highly respected local chef. If the Starship Enterprise had a Spanish wine-and-tapas bar on its holodeck, this would be it (Calle Nuncio Viejo 1, tel. 925224-244).

GETTING AROUND: Toledo itself is best on foot, but public bus no. 12 can be handy if you run out of steam.The cheesy Tren Imperial Tourist Tram is a fine way for non-drivers to enjoy views of the city from across the Tajo River Gorge.
