Timbers celebrates 20th anniversary
The Timbers of Shorewood celebrated 20 years of senior living in the greater Will County area with a ribbon cutting on Thursday, October 13. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, Will County Executive, joined the celebration and provided a certificate of recognition.
Located at 1100 N. River Road in Shorewood, The Timbers provides senior living in the form of independent living and assisted living. The rental retirement community has 186 one- and two-bedroom apartments and a full schedule of activities and services.
“We’ve been serving seniors for two decades in the Joliet area,” said Kevin Young, executive director of the Timbers of Shorwood. “To celebrate, we had a ribbon cutting and a champagne toast with members of the Chamber of Commerce. Thank you to all our wonderful residents, family members, staff, and the entire community for a fantastic 20 years. Here’s to many more.”
The Timbers of Shorewood began with the vision of two friends, both military veterans, who wanted to create active retirement living in a community that would stand apart from others in both service and spirit. The Timbers has become more than a senior living
community in the two decades since it welcomed its first residents. Prior to COVID, it was a communal center for groups and organizations from the surrounding community.
William DeWoskin and Manny Kramer built and own The Timbers. The long-time partners own and operate several retirement and assisted living communities in multiple states.
Through a combined 80 years of experience, DeWoskin and Kramer know how to create a secure and enjoyable place to live. The partners bring unparalleled interest and commitment to The Timbers. They do not manage from afar; rather, they live locally and visit The Timbers often.
Situated on ten acres in Shorewood, The Timbers serves the burgeoning southwestern Will County communities including Shorewood, Joliet, Plainfield, Lockport, Bolingbrook, New Lenox, Frankfort, Morris, Naperville, Mokena, Romeoville, Manhattan, Channahon, Minooka, Elwood, and Wilmington.
Residents of the Timbers range in age from 62 to over 100 years old. Approximately 65 percent of the current residents live in the independent apart-
ments, while 35 percent reside in the assisted living units.
“A key component that makes our community successful is the longevity of staff members and support of the local owners,” said Young. “Many corporate-owned communities are managed by executives located thousands of miles away. Our consistency of local
leadership and long-term managers provide unmatched stability and support for the community.”
The Timbers of Shorewood Senior Living is a rental retirement community that provides senior independent living and assisted living apartments and a full schedule of activities and services.
Residents whose needs may change are able to stay in the same place and receive appropriate and compassionate care. Furnished apartments are also available for short-term stays. For more information about the Timbers, call 815-609-0669 or visit https://www.timbersofshorewood. com
8th grader organizes mental health fair for elementary school
An Indian Trail Middle School eighth grader returned to her elementary school to help kindergarten, first and second graders learn skills to cope with anxiety.
Addison Garling hosted a Monster Fair at Central Elementary School in September.
She organized the entire event from creating a budget and asking businesses for donations to getting volunteers and creating comment cards to get feedback.
Garling is using the project to earn her Girl Scout Silver Award.
Students visited five stations where they learned age-appropriate tools to help them deal with anxiety or “worry monsters.”
“I just want to help more people and get this information out to kids who need it,” Garling said.
She received the information from certified mental health counselors and designed activities around the coping tools, Garling said.
Volunteers lead the stations’ activities.
Students could make a Monster Box in which they could write down their worries then “feed” the worries to the monster.
The students brought stuffed animals to use during a breathing exer-
cise, Garling said.
They put the toy on their stomachs and did breathing exercises until the stuffed animal fell to the floor.
Garling has been working on this idea since she was a sixth grader and is proud of her work, she said.
“I don’t think kids talk about mental health enough and it is just as important as physical health,” Garling said.
“Everyone should have positive mental health,” she said.
Central Elementary School Principal Dr. Jennifer Hennegan said Garling approached her last year about hosting the fair at Central.
“One of the best things you can witness as a principal is watching one of your former students giving back and helping current students,” she said.
Hennegan said she is proud of Garling.
“She took time to plan a meaningful event and gave younger students strategies and tools to cope with anxiety that will last them a lifetime,” Hennegan said.
Halloween without the health scare
Believe it or not, Halloween is a great time to practice balance.
When kids stagger home on Halloween night lugging sacks full of candy, teach them how to enjoy special treats in moderation.
These tactics will help manage the candy craziness:
• Fill up on the good stuff. Feed everyone a healthy meal before the candy bowl comes out and the kids leave to trick-or-treat. Everyone will be less tempted to eat lot of candy on a full stomach.
• Prioritize. Have children sort their candy from most to least favorite. Donate the least-favorite candy or take it to a local dentist that participates in a buy-back program where children are reimbursed based on the pounds of candy they bring in.
• Don’t add to the sugar total. While there is candy in the house, cut back on other sources of sugar like juice, chocolate milk, chocolate-flavored nut butters, doughnuts, desserts or pastries.
• Give out healthier choices, such as: Snack bags of popcorn, raisins, granola bars (with under 9 grams of sugar per serving), sugar-free gum, snack sized bags of bear graham crackers or animal crackers, snack sized bags of pretzels or fish crackers
• Skip the edible treats altogether and consider giving: glowin-the-dark necklaces or bracelets, spooky rings, fake teeth or fingernails, stickers, noise makers, creepy plastic bugs, fingers or eyeballs
• Have kids pace themselves. After the fun of trick-or-treating is over, allow kids to have their choice of several different kinds of candy. (Be sure to check candy before letting children dive into the treat bag.) Then put the candy out of sight so it isn’t a constant reminder to eat more. Allow them to choose 1-2 pieces each day to learn moderation. Freeze some candy to use for celebrations later or use it to create a holiday gingerbread house.
