Rains cripple area Communities recover from torrential rains that dropped half a foot of rain in 24 hours

By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

Its been a little less than a week since severe rain storms inundated the Chicago area.

Power outages, flooded basements and road closures are just a few of the major problems still facing residents and village crews in the wake of last week’s torrential rains, which caused several western suburbs to declare a state of emergency.

Gov. Pat Quinn visited the Chicago area Thursday to assess the damage caused by the heavy rainfall.

Following that visit, Quinn declared 38 counties in Illinois state disaster areas, including DuPage and Will counties..

“We have to be prepared not only today but over the next several days for flooding in different parts of our state,” Quinn told reporters. “Now, what we want to do is help people who are water challenged right now. As we can see, the water’s rising. So, it’s important that homeowners and our governments; we all have to work together.”

New Woodridge mayor strives for continuity

By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

When Mayor-Elect Gina Cunningham-Picek received the endorsement of her predecessor during the recent mayoral election, she was honored by the gesture.

“When you have someone that you feel truly is a mentor in your life and a champion to the town that you love, I could not thank him enough,” Cunningham-Picek said of retiring Mayor William Murphy’s endorsement. “It was

one of those moments in your life where you truly have to take it in.”

On April 9, Woodridge residents elected someone other than Murphy to lead their village as mayor for the first time in three decades.

Although new to the position, Cunningham-Picek is not new to the village, municipal government or, she says, the values the former mayor stood for.And, that previous knowledge and experience is what she says will make her excel in her role as mayor.

“When you’re elected to office,

you bring all of your experience to the table,” Cunningham Picek said.

As market president for Bridgeview Bank, current president of the Woodridge Rotary and past president of the Woodridge Chamber of Commerce, Cunningham-Picek is accustomed to leadership, a fact the retiring mayor noted in his endorsement.

“In all of these services to the community, whether it be the village, the business community, her church, clubs, and organizations, Gina’s reputation is one who listens and contributes - Gina is leadership in action,” Murphy said.

Cunningham-Picek said her business experience is one of the most important attributes she will bring to the office of mayor. She has been involved in banking for nearly 30 years, and that has given her a strong understanding of finance and business.

“I do business development, that’s what I do,” CunninghamPicek said. “I help business grow, and that skillset will enhance my impact.”

In addition to her to emphasizing “smart” economic growth and development within Woodridge, Cunningham-Picek also campaigned on the slogan “working together works.” That mentality and her experience as

a Village Board trustee will help her establish a sense of continuity with former village leadership.

“We haven’t had a new mayor in 32 years, and some people are saying,‘I don’t know what’s going to happen,’” she said.

To alleviate some of those concerns, Cunningham-Picek is stressing the need for residents and businesses in Woodridge to stay involved in village decisions by asking questions and communicating any issues that may arise.

“It’s so important that people stay engaged,” she said.

A single issue could take months of work, and the Village Board has had the opportunity to probe the issue and ask questions.

Cunningham-Picek said residents need to have the same kind of involvement. She said residents’ ability to engage the village, however,is contingent on open and transparent communication from the village to the community.

Attending village meetings and encouraging coffee conversations with businesses and village officials are a couple ways the new mayor said those lines of communication can be opened.

Finally, she said her history as a lifelong resident of Woodridge has put her in a position to appreciate resident’s concerns and approach village development in a safe and smart way.

Cunningham-Picek moved to the village in 1967 when she was 5 years old, and she remembers a time when 75th Street was still a gravel road. She attended St. Scholastica School, Edgewood School,Sipley School and Jefferson Jr. High. Around junior high, she remembers meeting Mayor Murphy for the first time.

That relationship was rekindled at a professional level, when Cunningham-Picek first became involved with the Woodridge Chamber of Commerce in 1984, and blossomed further when she became an active Rotarian and committee member for the village five years later.

“It’s truly a great motivation to continue the excellence in governance set by Mayor Murphy,” she said. “I’m very proud of the example Mayor Murphy set.”

Cunningham-Picek went on to serve on the Village Board for nine years before running for mayor. The ceremony to swear in Cunningham-Picek and the village trustees will take place at 3 p.m.

FLOOD Continued from page 1 Wednesday and during the early morning hours Thursday dropped nearly half a foot of rain in some areas and caused significant damage in the process.

“The volume of water has been just tremendous in a short period of time,” Westmont Village Manager Ronald Searl said. “We’re out trying to help residents as best we can, but there’s not much you can do when you have five to six feet of water.”

Rainfall totals for Downers Grove were 5.57 inches as of Thursday afternoon.

Searl said that it is too early to assess the amount of damage the storm caused, but encouraged

residents with private property damage to contact their insurance companies and document any damages by taking photos and holding onto receipts.

Correction A legal notice for the village of Westmont for The Planning and Zoning commission for a public hearing was put in the April 10, 2013 Downers Grove Bugle due to an error on the Bugles part.

Downers Grove village spokesman Doug Kozlowski echoed Searl’s advice.

He said Downers Grove crews had been preparing for the storm since Wednesday afternoon. That preparation included sweeping debris from streets to keep storm drains clear, and they eventually called in additional public safety personnel.

“Because of those actions, there were no injuries related to the flooding,” Kozlowski said.

“There was some damage to say the least.”

Throughout the day Thursday, village crews and police were busy clearing debris, assisting residents and trying to get the community back up and running.

“We are actually in clean up and recovery mode,” Kozlowski said late Thursday afternoon.

Downers Grove Police Lt. Mike Wilson said the department started getting calls for assistance around 4 a.m. At that time, he said the day shift was called in early to deal with weather -related issues.

“We had some officers out assisting people who were stuck in their cars and to get out of some of the homes that were really flooded in,” Wilson said.

“We barricaded off roads and started responding to all those situations that were out there.”

One section of town that experienced significant flooding was the area west of Gilbert Park and east of Belmont road, just south of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe line. The Belmont Road underpass was blocked off until noon Thursday because of high water levels,

and homes in the 1900 block of Curtiss Street were flooded.

Tom Moran was one homeowner whose basement flooded. He has lived in his home on Curtiss Street for 35 years and said he has never experienced anything like this.

“I’ve never seen it this bad,” Moran said. “I’m getting water in the basement, but I have everything up already.”

He said he was initially alerted to a problem around 4 a.m. when he heard police in front of his home assisting a woman who was stuck in her car.

“I could hear police talking on the loud speaker to a woman in a car saying, ‘We can’t come and get you; you have to walk out,’” Moran said.

He said Downers Grove police were in the area checking on residents whose homes were surrounded by water.

Emergency personnel are warning motorists not to attempt to drive through standing water and to be aware of electrical hazards if their basements are flooded. In case of emergencies, residents should call 911. jsamples@buglenewspapers.com

Woodridge approves fiscal year budget The village of Woodridge last week passed its FiscalYear 2013-14 budget, which totals $47 million in expenditures and includes several large capital projects.

The budget will provide core services to residents and maintains the village’s low employee per 1,000 resident ratio.

Highlights of the plan include roadway work, which, for the upcoming budget year, will mean roadway resurfacing in several areas of the village, replacement of aging signals at Center Drive and Janes Avenue, and traffic light interconnect on Center Drive to improve traffic flow.

The plan also includes a tree removal and planting program to help reforestation efforts that are necessary due to Emerald Ash Borer infestation. The program consists of removing affected or vulnerable trees and replanting

with trees that are not susceptible to the pest.

A storm sewer inventory will be conducted, which will help update atlases of sewers and serve as the master plan for the village’s televising and improvement plan. The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity has awarded Woodridge 75 percent of the funding needed for this inventory effort.

The Town Centre planning efforts will continue this year, with members of the community working together to develop a plan for the Town Centre property.

Additionally, the selection and implementation of Enterprise Resource Program software will help to provide a high-quality customer service experience for residents and others, as well as create internal efficiencies for

staff. Replacement of the village’s failing phone system will also serve in that effort.

Of the total expenditures, $26,227,768 is budgeted for operating costs. This represents a 6 percent increase over last year and one that is attributable to increases in the costs of services, including personnel costs. In an effort to reduce the residential tax burden, this year there is no increase to Woodridge’s property tax levy.A resident with an average home in Woodridge will pay $238 in property taxes to the village.

The budget will reduce the residential tax burden, maintain a safe community, provide adequate infrastructure, provide for governmental transparency and accountability, to foster intergovernmental coordination and consolidation,and to stimulate the business community.

Downers Grove South student wins study trip to Germany Alex Hartig, a junior at Downers Grove South High School, has been awarded a three-and-a-half week allexpense-paid summer study trip to Germany.

Hartig was selected as a national winner after scoring in the 96th percentile on the Level Three 2013 National German Exam for High School Students sponsored by the American Association of Teachers of German.

Nearly 23,000 students participated in the program.

After qualifying with a high score on the National German Exam, Hartig submitted responses to several short essay questions in German and in English and was then interviewed by a committee comprised of high school teachers and college professors of German.

Hartig was selected to receive the Helene ZimmerLoew Scholarship from the AATG Endowed Scholarship Fund, a fund supported through generous donations from teachers of German across the US to support

study in Germany. The study trip includes round‐trip air transportation to Germany, a home-stay with a host family, and excursions to places of cultural and historical significance. The study trip award is made possible through a grant from the Federal Republic of Germany.

“This program gives students the chance to experience Germany firsthand by living with a German family and attending school,” said Keith Cothrun, executive director of the AATG. “It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity.”

Hartig and the other winners will travel to Germany this summer. He is a student of Karen Kosog and Sarah Moreno, German teachers at Downers Grove South High School.

A list of the award winners may be found at www.aatg.org.

Founded in 1926, the AATG represents German teachers at all levels of instruction.

The AATG is dedicated to the advancement and improvement of the teaching of language, literature and culture of the German-speaking countries.

H o ro s c o p e s It isn’t necessary to strive to fit in when you are given a chance to stand out. You can just be yourself without artifice or restraint. Welcome praise and appreciation in the upcoming week without guilt.

No one else can decide what is right or wrong for you. Listen to the little voice inside that cheers you on in the week ahead. This will counterbalance any doubts and negativity that others voice.

Meditate on the wisdom of your actions. Sometimes in the week ahead, you may be so consumed by making progress that you forget to enjoy whatever you progressed to. Enjoy the fruits of your labors.

Make a list of your own personal greatest hits. Play them over and over again in your mind. Improve your confidence and bolster spirits in the week ahead by reminding yourself of all your triumphs.

Both pleasure and pain serve a purpose. You can’t appreciate one without the other. It is possible to form a lasting connection early this week. This might take the form of a new friendship or group association.

Think outside the box unless you can figure out a way to make a new, improved box. Use originality and creativity to your advantage in the upcoming week. Understanding brightens your love life.

Cheer them on. An honest compliment can turn someone’s life around. In the week ahead, be straightforward.

Remember that everyone needs encouragement - and that most people can detect insincerity.

It would be wise to get your most important tasks completed in the early part of the week. You might be burdened by extra duties late in the week and not have as much time to meet a deadline on time.

No harm, no foul. You may have been rebuffed in the past or felt excluded from a group, but in the week to come you may be given an opportunity to try again.

Expect a warm welcome.

Put a halt to hesitation.

You will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did. Grab every chance to embrace new experiences in the first half of the week.

Turnabout is fair play.

You might be called upon to pinch hit or take over for someone else. An ability to get along with people from diverse backgrounds is a decided asset during the week ahead.

Open the floodgates.

Once you put your heart on the line with a romantic partner or commit to a creative project, the feelings come rushing though.

Redwings making transition, still winning

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

If the ESCC boys volleyball season opener between Benet and host Notre Dame April 16 is an indication of what’s to come in conference play, it’s going to be an interesting year.

The two clubs matched one another point for point throughout each game, with Benet (13-6, 1-0) prevailing 2927, 25-22.

Game 1 was a battle royal, featuring 18 ties and 10 lead changes. The Dons had the Redwings at game point twice late in the game (26-25 and 2726) after Benet hitting errors.

However, Benet closed it out with three consecutive points, with senior Sawyer Yeazel’s kill sealing the hard-fought win.

“I thought Sawyer stepped it up quite a bit,” Benet coach Amy Van Eekeren said. “He took a leadership role, passed really well, played aggressive defense, but also came up with the big kill when we needed it.”

In Game 2, the Dons surprised Benet by opening up an early 9-4 lead. Notre Dame led by as many as seven points (15-8) midway through the game.

“We were cocky from winning the first game, so we thought that they would just roll over,” Yeazel said in reference to the Redwings falling behind. “We were just in awe that they were fighting back.”

“We weren’t passing well at that point,” Van Eekeren added.

“We weren’t getting a good swing on the ball because the pass wasn’t good. We tried to turn around and refocus on just the basics, get the ball to the setter and we can run the offense.”

The Redwings slowly chipped away at Notre Dame’s advantage, going on a 12-5 run and

eventually knotting the score at 20-20 on Garrett Metzger’s kill.

Notre Dame regained the lead, 21-20, following a Benet serving error, but the Redwings closed out the game, and the match, with four consecutive points that included an ace from senior libero Mike Robinson.

“Just getting out of the hole that we started in, that was the biggest part,” Yeazel said. “In practice, we always do drills where we’re down and we have to come back up, so that played a big part in this.”

Yeazel, who finished with 11 kills and eight digs versus Notre Dame, is a three-year varsity player and a holdover from last year’s sectional-qualifying 29-8 team that lost 10 seniors to graduation. He and the team have had to make the transition from a veteran to a younger squad.

“This team is a lot younger than last year’s team was,” he said. “The experience is a lot different. Last year was a second-year starting squad, so they already knew everything.

This year, we had to start from the ground up and work our way back up. Having nowhere to start from and working up is a lot different than it was last year.”

Senior Mike Jurkash is a cocaptain along with Yeazel and Robinson. Jurkash contributed four kills and three blocks.

However, a number of youngsters made strong contributions in Benet’s victory, including freshman Ben Mazza (30 assists, four digs), sophomore Scott Kleiser (three kills, four digs), as well as Metzger and Ricky Gevis, both juniors.

Gevis, with eight kills, and Metzger, with five, give Benet an imposing front line since they stand 6-foot-9 and 6-5, respectively. Gevis has only been

“Ricky is an outstanding player,” Van Eekeren said. “He’s coming along very well. He really gets

on top of the ball. He’s a very athletic kid.

“He’s quick, quicker than you think, but he hits high. Today, he

Heflin dominating hitters early

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

When Downers Grove North lost junior Dale Ryndak in the season opener with a torn ACL and meniscus, senior Elaine Heflin knew she would have to step up and lead the Trojan pitching staff.

The University of Illinois at Chicago-bound senior has done just that, dominating opposing hitters.

Recently, Heflin pitched a one hitter against a good hitting Plainfield South team. Hefflin, who struck out 13 batters, had her no hitter broken up with two outs in the seventh inning.

“Right after she got that hit I realized it was the first one,” Heflin said.“It is not that big of a deal as long as she didn’t score.

It was a good hit.”

It was her second one-hitter of the season to go with a perfect game against Manteno in the

Providence Catholic Invite. She fanned 12 in that win.

Heflin said pitching more consistently has helped her stay loose and throw better in her outings.

“You stay loose,unlike baseball where they only pitch once a week or so,” she said.“Mixing up all my pitches is really working well. My changeup is especially working to keep them off balance. This really boosts the confidence knowing that we can go out there and play anybody, but we also know we can go out there and be beat by anybody.

We have to keep our confidence up and practice hard.”

However, that being said, Downers Grove North coach Mark is not going to ride his ace too much.

“I am not going to over use her though and she knows that,” he said. “We might lose some games, but I want her there at the end.”

Heflin said she can’t take all the credit for the Trojans’ early season success.

“I am just throwing and the team is scoring, so I am not really winning the games, I am just holding the other team back,” she said.

Magro wishes the team would hit a little more.

“I don’t like how the team gets complacent,” he said.“We scored the two runs on the error and that was it. They watch Heff too much sometimes. They figure if we give her a one or two run lead, that’s good enough. She is a great pitcher and that is great to have, our defense is good but we need to hit. We are a work in progress and we will be there at the end for sure. If we keep working at it, we will be there in the end for sure.”

He did see some positives in the game, however.

Lisle’s Tomko nets six goals in 7-0 win The Lisle girls’ soccer team registered shutout victories on consecutive days last week.

The Lions blanked nonconference foe Elgin St. Edward, 1-0, on April 15, thanks to Christine Young’s first varsity goal, and crushed Reed-Custer, 7-0, in an I-8 game the next day.

Goalkeeper Vanessa Roach, who recorded 22 saves versus St. Edward, faced just one shot in the Reed-Custer contest thanks to a stingy Lisle defense. It was Lisle’s third straight victory by shutout.

But the story of this game was Skyler Tomko, who exploded for six of the Lions’ seven goals.

Tomko scored four goals in the first half, and Breann Hutchison made it 5-0 with an early second half goal. Then, Tomko picked up two more unassisted goals.

• Benet defeated Wheaton Academy 2-1 on a pair of goals

by Michelle Morefield.

The Redwings then fell to New Trier 2-1 as Jacquie Kaufman scored the lone goal, assisted by

Rachel Bernicky. Benet (8-3-1) fell 1-0 to Sandburg.

• Downers South beat Palatine 2-0 on goals by Autumn Rasmussen (from Nicole Janowiak) and Kelly Staplenton (from Emily Wauer) and it lost to Naperville Central 2-0.

TENNIS Downers South defeated Moline 4-3 in an indoor match due to the floods. Tony Leto (10-3) and Jon Artus (15-1) won and first and second singles, respectively, while the No. 1 doubles team of Cody Freischlag and Christian San Andres and the No. 3 doubles team of Mitch Plys and Matt Schlictman were also victorious.

SOFTBALL Lisle squared off against I-8 opponent Coal City back-toback early last week. Coal City dealt the Lions defeats in both contests, as the Lions fell 3-2 at

Coal City April 15 and 11-4 April 16 at Lisle.

The Lions played Coal City to a 2-2 tie through three innings, but the Coalers scored a run in the bottom of the fourth and made that stick. Erin Johnson and Lauren Holub each had RBIs for the Lions, with Johnson the only Lisle player who enjoyed a multiple-hit game. Summer Stitt took the loss.

Despite the lopsided 11-4 final on April 16, Lisle and Coal City actually were in a tight contest through the end of seven innings, 3-3. However, the Coalers tacked on eight runs in the top of the eighth. Kristin Holub hit a tworun double; she had three RBIs and two hits on the day. Kelly Urban went 3-for-4, including two doubles, and Isabella Daly was a perfect 3-fo-3 with an RBI.

Lisle competed in the Byron tournament on Saturday. The Lions won two of the three games they played, both victories being shutouts.

The Lions blanked Pecatonica, 10-0 and North Boone, 8-0, but lost to 10-5 to Dakota in the tourney opener.

THE BUGLE APRIL 24, 2013 The Sentinels resumed a game at Sandwich on Saturday that originally started at Westmont on April 15 with the Sentinels leading 4-1.That game, however, had to be stopped because of poor field conditions.

Westmont (11-3, 5-1) ended up winning, 10-3. Donovan belted a two-run homer, and Greg Pietrzak went six innings to notch the victory.

Lisle hosted Coal City in an I-8 game April 16 and tallied what

proved to be the winning run in the bottom of the sixth on Ryan Van Volkenburg’s sacrifice fly that scored Jake Oard.The Lions won, 6-5.

Adam Grego picked up the win in relief of Van Volkenburg, pitching 1 2/3 innings of scoreless ball. Brian Czyl had the Lions’ only extra base hit of the game, a double. Kevin Coppin was 3-for-3 with an RBI, and Cliff Krause had two hits and an RBI. Van Volkenburg, Bailey Welch and Alex Ventrella also collected RBI. •Westmont remained in first place in the I-8 thanks to a 1-0 victory at Sandwich April 16.

Zach Moran kept Sandwich hitters off balance and won his fourth game without a loss.

The only run the Sentinels would need came via Charlie Donovan’s RBI double that enabled Robert Kokoszka to score from first base.

at bats,” Magro said.“We hit a few balls well, we just need to keep it up. Losing Dale was a big loss, pitching and hitting wise. She was our No. 3 hitter.”

And while the start of the

conference season is right around the corner, Magro might be the only person in Chicagoland not to hope the weather warms up. At least not on days he sends Heflin to

pitch.

“Would you want to face her in cold weather?” he asked.

“Because I wouldn’t.”

•Westmont upended Sandwich in both games of a home and away series April 15 and 16. The Sentinels whipped Sandwich 10-2 April 15 behind the pitching of Kristen Skala, who struck out 10, and the hitting of Vanessa Possodoni,who belted a three-run homer and singled. Maria Prete also homered, and Skala drove in three runs. Amanda Anderson (3for-4) and Susie Sternard (2-for-3) had multiple-hit games, as well.

At Sandwich on April 16, the Sentinels held off their hosts, 7-6. Sternard whiffed five hitters en route to picking up the win.

She also was the hitting star, going 4-for-4 with four RBIs. Prete drove in three runs with a 3-for-3 performance, and Claire Conneely added two hits.

No place like Kansas for Kenseth Matt Kenseth apparently has the “new” Kansas Speedway figured out.

Kenseth made it two-in-a-row at Kansas Speedway, winning the STP 400 on Sunday.

Kenseth said his car was fast all weekend, and it showed on track, with Kenseth qualifying on the pole and becoming the first driver since Jimmie Johnson in 2008 to win at Kansas Speedway from the first

starting position.

“We had a good car,” said Kenseth. “Everything worked out at the end. We were in the front for that last pit stop and able to hold station there and get out in clean air, so that was the key.”

Kenseth has finished in the top 10 in nine of the 15 races he has run at Kansas Speedway.

He led four times during Sunday’s race for a total of 163

laps—the most of any driver today.

Kenseth’s win marks the first time since 1985 that, for three consecutive races, the pole winner has also won the race.

“The fastest car’s supposed to win, right?” Kenseth asked.

“That’s what racing’s all about.”

Kenseth said that his car was fast out front, but Kasey Kahne seemed to have something for him at the end. Kahne whittled

away at Kenseth’s lead as the laps wound down but couldn’t quite catch him.

Kahne finished second on the day for his sixth top-10 finish in 12 races at Kansas Speedway.

“Felt really good,” Kahne said of his car and race effort. “I thought we were pretty decent yesterday in practice, and so today we started 28th and just had to really take our time.”

Kahne said he moved forward

thanks to “small adjustments” made to the car during the race and the track being “rubbered” in. He said he could catch Kenseth but was unable to make a move when he got close to the #20 at the end.

Jimmie Johnson finished third, giving him his 12th top-10 finish in 14 races at Kansas Speedway.

Johnson said he lacked speed in qualifying and practice but had what he needed for the race.

Celebrate the farmer’s market this Earth Day

T

oday is Earth Day, which for 43 years in the United States and 23 years globally has dedicated itself to building awareness of environmental issues and the role we all can play in protecting our planet and conserving its resources.

Everywhere on Monday, and the day before, you’ll find all kinds of activities marking the occasion, from parades to teach-ins, petting zoos to outdoor concerts, serious lectures to lighthearted family programs.

I have my own way of celebrating Earth Day. On Sunday, the 21st, as I do every Sunday, I’ll take my sons shopping at our local farmers’ market. It’s the perfect way to build in them an awareness of the wonderful daily gifts we receive when we care for the earth responsibly. We’ll walk from stall to stall, looking at and sampling the beautiful fruits and vegetables and chatting

with the farmers who grow them.

Often, I don’t know what we’ll buy until we see what is freshest and best. I let the boys pick out the produce that excites them most, because - along with cooking those ingredients using simple methods that highlight their natural flavors and textures that’s the best way to guarantee that my sons will actually eat them. And, of course, before we leave the market we’ll stop by the flower stand to pick up a big, beautiful springtime bouquet for their mother.

At this time of year, the vegetables in our shopping bags also look like a beautiful bouquet. There will be palegreen asparagus spears and deep-green young broccoli, little salad leaves in all sorts of shapes and hues, almost neoncolored slender orange carrots and bright red bell peppers. We may also pick up fresh English pea pods or fava beans to shell at home, baby turnips, young artichokes.... The list could go on and on.

Back home, such a harvest can inspire all kinds of recipes, from simple platters of crudites to crisp and crunchy salads,

quickly simmered soups to steamed or stir-fried sides. I always encourage the boys to chime in with ideas on what they’d like us to make. The results are always a surprise.

Here’s the sort of simple, and simply delicious, dish that very well could come of such an Earth Day farmers’ market outing: my recipe for PanSeared Red Snapper with Spring Vegetable

Vinaigrette. Easily prepared, it transforms a medley of fresh vegetables into a colorful, chunky room-temperature sauce for fish fillets cooked in a little olive oil. Feel free to use other mild white-fleshed fish such as cod, halibut, tilapia, or

grouper. And vary the vegetable mixture depending on what’s best and what you like the most.

I hope this recipe helps you enjoy this Earth Day - and make every day a celebration of the earth and its bounty.

PAN-SEARED RED SNAPPER WITH SPRING VEGETABLE VINAIGRETTE Serves 4 Pan-Seared Red Snapper: 4 red snapper fillets, skin on, 4 ounces each 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 bunch fresh basil leaves, shredded 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced Spring Vegetable Vinaigrette: 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice 1/2 pound tomatoes 1/2 pound asparagus, trimmed, tough skin peeled, diced 1 medium carrot, about 4 ounces, peeled and diced 4 ounces small broccoli florets 1 small red bell pepper, 3 ounces, halved, stemmed, seeded, deveined, and diced 2 large shallots, diced 1 tablespoon diced sun-dried tomatoes For Cooking and Serving: Salt Freshly ground white pepper 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 cups mixed baby salad leaves 2 tablespoons shredded fresh basil leaves

About 1-1/4 hours before cooking, season the snapper fillets. With a sharp knife, cut diagonal shallow scores 1/2 inch apart through the skin side.

Arrange the fillets skin up in a single layer on a plate and drizzle with the 2 tablespoons olive oil.

Sprinkle with the basil and red onion. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Meanwhile, prepare the Spring Vegetable Vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, and lime juice. Set aside.

Bring a saucepan of water to a boil, and put a bowl filled with ice cubes and water nearby. With a small, sharp knife, core the tomatoes and score a shallow X in the skin at the opposite end. With a wire strainer or slotted spoon, lower the tomatoes into the boiling water; when their skins begin to wrinkle, after 30 to 45 seconds, lift them out with the skimmer or spoon and transfer to the ice water. (Leave the water boiling, adding a little salt).

As soon as the tomatoes are cool, peel them, cut in half, scoop out and discard the seeds, and dice the tomatoes, transferring them to a mixing bowl.

(Leave the bowl of ice water.)

One at a time, blanch the other vegetables by placing each in a fine strainer, lowering it into

the boiling water, cooking for 2 minutes, and then lifting it out and plunging it into the ice water. Thoroughly drain the vegetables and add to the tomatoes with the shallots and sun-dried tomatoes. Whisk the oil-vinegar-lime mixture and add most to the vegetables, reserving a few spoonsful. Season with salt and pepper, toss, and set aside.

For the fish, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Brush the basil off the fish and season with salt and pepper.

Over medium-high heat, heat an ovenproof skillet large enough to hold the fillets in a single layer. Add the 2 teaspoons olive oil and, when it starts shimmering, add the fish fillets skin up. Sear for 1 minute and then transfer the skillet to the oven and continue cooking until the fillets are cooked through but still moist, 3 to 4 minutes. (The fillets do not need to be flipped.)

Meanwhile, toss the salad leaves with the reserved dressing and salt and pepper to taste.

To serve, mound the leaves on one side of each serving plate. On the other side, spoon the Spring Vegetable Vinaigrette. With a spatula, place the fish, skin down, on top of the vinaigrette. Garnish with basil. Serve immediately.

Business & Real Estate

Stop getting hurt by the boss in workplace jungle Q. My boss is mean, rude and ungrateful. I have been nothing but nice and hard working and he just seems to get worse. I have coworkers who are also rude, and he seems to leave them alone.Why is being nice making me a target?

How can I get my boss to back off?

A. Unfortunately, human beings often treat people they fear better than people who behave well.You’ll get your boss to back off if you play by the same rules that people far less nice than you play by.

The first hurdle you will face is that you’ll want to argue with reality that the business world should reward niceness and punish meanness.While you are pouting about that, you’ll continue to be treated shabbily

by your boss.

Many, many people get into a power struggle with reality believing that if they hold their breath long enough reality will become what they believe it should. Have empathy for yourself that work is often truly unfair and the world often isn’t what it should be but that doesn’t mean you can’t get what you want.

Your first step is to look around your workplace and notice who is well treated and how their behavior differs from yours.You’ll see that employees who are less nice, more focused on their own goals, and not overextending themselves are often treated with respect.

Consider carefully whether you can choose to be respected over being liked.

The trouble with being exceptionally nice at work is others may see your behavior as weakness.They may decide that if there is anyone they can treat badly ... well, it is someone who will be nice about it.Thus, they are late, drop the ball and are verbally abusive because, hey, you will probably tell them that it is OK.They understand that a not so nice coworker might bite their head off.

Contemplate the behavior in the animal world. No one messes with a panther, a cobra or a crocodile mostly because they are pretty clear it would hurt.

The panther, cobra and crocodile don’t go out of their way to behave badly; however, the rest of the animal kingdom knows each animal has power it will use if threatened.

It’s not for nothing that the workplace is sometimes called a jungle. People mostly do what

they do because they consider it in their best interests, and empathy is not widely used. Here are some “cobra” tricks you can use to discourage others from running you over: • Don’t talk too much. Keep your conversation more concise, terse and to the point.

• Don’t smile so much. Smiling is literally a way of showing your teeth and letting people know you won’t use them.A more serious expression will get you taken more seriously.

• When people screw up around you, don’t be so quick to make them feel better. Every time you reflexively say,“That’s OK,” the other person figures you mean it.

• Don’t overextend yourself by doing extra nice and personal things at work (baking cookies, volunteering for everything and listening to everyone’s problems).

Overextending yourself puts on a neon sign on your head

identifying you as a doormat.

For my clients who are proud of their amiability, it is a real difficult transition for them to understand the dark side of niceness.

Wake up and realize there is no equal sign between you being nice and other people treating you well.You don’t have to turn into the office reptile to command respect; just turn down the volume on offering too much all the time.

Don’t touch 401k while out on medical leave Dear Dave, I’ve been on medical leave from my job due to an injury.

My doctor recently advised extending the leave another six months, but during this time I wouldn’t be paid. My husband makes $75,000 a year, and we

owe $40,000 on our cars.This includes a $30,000 note on one of them. Should we take money out of our 401(k) to make it through the additional time off?

Crystal Dear Crystal, Absolutely not! You guys have

dug a hole for yourselves, and borrowing from one place to fix another will only make that hole deeper. In cases like this you have to address the core issue.Your income has dropped significantly, so you need to cut your lifestyle to match your new income level.

My advice would be to sell the cars, at least the $30,000 one.

There’s no justification for $40,000 worth of vehicles in your garage when you’re living on $75,000. It makes me think you don’t have any savings, either, if you’re talking about raiding your 401(k). Financially speaking, you have no room to breathe right now.

Serious situations call for serious actions.You’ve got to get your lifestyle down to a manageable level until you’re able to work again.And even then, there’s no reason to raise your lifestyle up to your income. Live on less than you make, Crystal.

That’s what enables you to save money and be prepared when Murphy comes knocking on your door!

You lose control with repossession Dear Dave, I’m having trouble making my auto payment. I owe $20,000, and the car is worth $17,000. Should

I allow the bank to repossess it, and could they take a lien against my house if they do?

Jose Dear Jose, You bet they could slap a lien on your home.You never want to go through repossession if there’s any way to avoid that scenario.

If they repossess, not only does your credit take a huge hit, you also lose control of the price of the car.

After a repo, the lender will sell the car and sue you for the difference. But if you sell the car, you might be able to work out a higher price, leaving you a lesser amount you’d owe for the difference. Chances are if your loan is with General Motors, they won’t work with you on the $3,000 difference. In that situation, you can either negotiate with the bank or go to another bank or credit union and get a small loan for the difference. Just make sure you pay the loan off as quickly as possible.

Keep in mind, too, that even if the car is worth $17,000, it won’t bring that much on the repo lot.

More than likely it would sell for about $11,000, leaving you $9,000 in the hole. By giving up control, you’d create a much bigger financial mess. I wouldn’t do that.
