Sisters honor late uncle by selling Brookfield home to Seguin

By JOE SINOPOLI jsinopoli@shawmedia.com BROOKFIELD – When sisters Barb and Margi Sirovatka sold their parent’s Brookfield home, it allowed them to fulfill not one, but two dreams.

First, they finally made the move to the Big Sky Country of Montana. Second, the sisters were able to see their former home become a residence for those who were special; like their late Uncle Ralph.

The house, a ranch-style, brick duplex located in the 8800 block of Windemere Avenue, was purchased Nov. 10

by Cicero-based nonprofit UCP Seguin Services to become a new home for four adults with developmental disabilities.

Seguin spokesman Dawneen Suriano said the property couldn’t be more perfectly suited to such an arrangement.

With a mirrored floorplan, the home includes two living rooms, two dining rooms, two kitchens and four bedrooms.

“Certainly, they’ll have the ability to mingle between the two homes, but they will have

Suriano said she expects the residence to be occupied by early 2015.

But, the full story behind

the sale actually begins with the Sirovatka sister’s Uncle Ralph.

Ralph Haremski, every Easter and Thanksgiving to their home on Windemere Avenue from the mid-50s to the mid-70s.

Born in 1912, Ralph contracted scarlet fever as a child, resulting in a number of developmental disabilities. After his own parents died, Ralph was committed to living at Dixon State Developmental Center, located about 100 miles from Chicago.

The Sirovatkas greeted Ralph with open arms during the holidays, and always hoped that Ralph could get out of his institutional existence and into a more communal living situation.

“The family always wanted him to live in community housing, but that never came to fruition, even though [the sisters] worked on it,” Suriano said.

Norbert Sirovatka bought the home in 1952 and his mother moved into one half of the house. Later, Norbert and Helen lived in one half, while Barb lived in the other half.

After both parents were gone, Margi, who had lived in Riverside for many years before retiring, sold her home a year ago and moved back in with her sister. Earlier this year, the sisters made their move to Montana and placed the home on the market. It struck them then the property would make a perfect community group home.

They wanted to move and we were willing to pay a price that was good for them.”

UCP Seguin serves nearly 270 people with developmental disabilities in 70 group homes across 25 west and south suburban communities.

With the addition of this new home, the organization will have five homes in Brookfield serving 20 individuals.

RIVERSIDE – A Lyons man charged with attempted murder in September 2013 after allegedly trying to drown his girlfriend in her Riverside coach house was sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty Nov. 21 to a lesser charge of false imprisonment, according to a Riverside Police Department news release.

On Sept. 7, 2013, Michael D. Bruner, 60, of the 8000 block of Christie Avenue, was charged with one count of attempted murder and one count of felony aggravated domestic battery by strangulation.

At that time, the Riverside Police Department’s 911 center received a frantic call from a woman, stating her boyfriend had just tried to kill her several times, the release stated.

Police responded to a coach house located in the 100 Block of Lawton Road and found a visibly upset 53-year-old woman standing in front of the main house, according to the release.

The victim told the first responding officers that her boyfriend had just tried to drown her three separate times in a bathtub located in the coach house at the rear of the property, the release stated. Officers took Bruner into custody after he attempted to

flee from the home.

The victim said she and Bruner had gotten into an argument the previous day about the thermostat setting inside the coach house. They later argued about prescription drugs that were missing from inside the home, according to the release. The victim left and went to a friend’s home, and when she returned later that night, the argument resumed.

She said she walked away and went upstairs to take a bath.

As she was preparing the water and disrobed, Bruner opened the door and allegedly pushed her into the tub, causing her to fall and injure her tailbone, the release stated. It is alleged he grabbed her by her throat and started to choke her and push her face under the about 1 foot of water that was inside the tub, according to the release.

Bruner allegedly pushed her forward into the water several times, saying, “I’m going to kill you,” the release stated.

The woman was able to break free and ran from the coach house and called 911.

In November 2012, Bruner was accused of battering and locking the same woman in a shed on the property for a short period of time, according to the release. The case was later dropped in court because the victim refused to cooperate.

Brookfield tightens parking ordinance

By JOE SINOPOLI jsinopoli@shawmedia.com BROOKFIELD – The last round of B parking permits has been sent out to those Brookfield residents who have been competing with Metra commuters for parking in front of their homes.

Stickers have been mailed to residents in the 3700 and 3800 blocks of Madison Avenue indicating they, and only they, can park on the street between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m.

Residents living in the vicinity of the village’s Hollywood Metra station, Fairview Avenue Station and the Congress Park Station have been long complaining about parking being a problem, Assistant Village Manager Theresa Coady said.

“It’s to relieve the burden on residents [of] commuters parking, then walking to the train stations,” she said.

The village had previous-

ly amended the parking ordinance to restrict parking to residents only in two other areas surrounding train stations, but commuters just seemed to move on down the line to find street parking, Coady said.

The village is now in the process of installing signs warning that vehicles must have a parking sticker or fines will be issued. There is no charge to residents for the sticker.

The restrictions are not exclusive for nonresident commuters alone. Brookfield residents who do not have the permit sticker in those designated areas will also be fined.

Finance Director Doug Cooper said the first round of stickers went out early 2013 for the area within the 3700 and 3800 blocks of Blanchan and Raymond avenues. A second round went out in the summer of 2013 to residents in the 3500 and 3600 blocks of Cleveland, Morton and Harrison avenues.

POLL QUESTION: What’s your favorite holiday entertainment? Vote online at mysuburbanlife.com.

There’s a lot to look forward to in Brookfield It’s hard to believe another year has (almost) passed. It seems like I just penned my first Community Voice column as president of the Brookfield Chamber of Commerce, but that was way back in January and a lot has happened since then.

This year was a very exciting year for the Brookfield Chamber of Commerce, as we enhanced our working COMMUNITY relationship with the BrookVOICE field Zoo by participating in Tom Summer Nights and the comMilani munity Tree Trimming and continued to work closely with the village of Brookfield on events like the Fourth of July festivities, Monsters on Main Street and the Holiday Walk. We also enjoyed another very successful year with our farmers market, street dance, car show and other activities. Weather was a bit of a spoiler for the Art Fair, but while the artists may have found themselves somewhat damp, the spirits of the organizers were not. We’re ready to come back next year with a better-than-ever art fair.

The village of Brookfield also completed renovations on Kiwanis Park, and the new walking paths, exercise equipment, disc golf course and especially the band shell should prove to be a wonderful new entertainment venue and present us with a variety of opportunities to present music, movies, dance and theater for the entertainment and enjoyment of Brookfield residents.

I also am very excited about the fact the village of Brookfield is in the process of hiring an economic and community development director, and plans are already in the works for the individual hired to develop a strong working relationship with the Brookfield Chamber of Commerce.

Together, the village management, the village board and the chamber hope to create a more attractive environment in which to open and operate a business and to encourage more individuals to do so. Our goal is to develop a central business district that will give Brookfield residents compelling reasons to stay, shop and dine in town and ultimately create a destination with enough options to attract people from neighboring towns to come out and enjoy what we have to offer in addition to our fabulous zoo.

Thanks very much to all of you who have attended and supported chamber events and businesses during the course of the year, and I hope those of you who haven’t attended an event or visited a Brookfield business lately will come out and see what we have to offer. On behalf of the Brookfield Chamber of Commerce, I’d like to wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday season and peace and prosperity in the coming year.

Tom Milani is president of the Brookfield Chamber of Commerce.

A flu shot can protect you and those around you from serious illness.

We shared some unsettling news last week from Dr. Terry Mason, chief operating officer at the Cook County Department of Health. The word is there was a 32 percent spike in people seeking emergency treatment for flu symptoms recently. Mason issued a reminder of the importance of getting a flu shot – remember, even if you’re young and healthy enough to get through a bout of illness OK, you may pass it along to someone who isn’t so lucky. So it’s not just good for you, it’s the responsible thing to do. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has stated flatly you cannot get the flu from a flu vaccine. At worst, you may suffer some mild and short-lasting side effects. You can read more about the flu vaccine online at www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/keyfacts.htm.

Why is the [Glen Ellyn] Park District planning to spend an extra $10,000 on a Park District logo in the middle of a proposed new turf field at Newton Park? $360,000 is not enough money to spend?

Do the children care about a GEPD logo? Do the parents care about seeing a logo in the field or seeing their children play?

And why did the GEPD go with the most expensive turf option instead of getting quotes on the other options – if nothing else, then to negotiate with the vendor? It seems like they just want to spend as much of my money as possible.

One in Four team, who focused on mental illness.

The group’s mission was to open the discussion of mental illness and increase awareness of the symptoms and signs.

Graduate and One in Four team member Cathy Pierson, program operations director at La Grange’s The LeaderShop, said each group member worked together for the project.

“We were really focused on improving the community,” Pierson said. “Of course I want the best for the LeaderShop, but this project was about mental health and getting people access to the resources that are available. We were able to step out and work together and that is key to the success of this project.”

HINSDALE – With the help of two area organizations, 13 community health leaders graduated from the Ladder to Leadership: Developing the Next Generation of Community Health Leaders program Dec. 2.

The program, led by the Community Memorial Foundation and the Center for Creative Leadership, was meant to boost the capabilities and skills of early to midlevel professionals working in health-related nonprofit organizations in an effort to assist the individuals with gaining greater leadership roles in their organizations.

“We hope that they learned that leadership development and learning is a lifelong journey,” said Lynn Fick-Cooper of the Center for Creative Leadership. “It’s a journey without an obvious destination, but it’s one worth the work.”

During the ceremony hosted at the La Grange Country Club, the graduates split into two teams and presented the group projects they’ve been developing during the past 16 months.

Each project was meant to effect change in the community, creating positive impacts and providing the graduates with real-life learning experiences.

Group one, The Ally Project, discussed the idea of collaboration and its importance in the community. The group’s presentation showed how, in today’s society, collaboration among nonprofits is essential for success, group members said.

One member, Dan Janowick, director of Programs and Facilities with The Community House in Hinsdale, said being a part of the program was a great honor.

“The tool box we were given has proved really valuable to me,” Janowick said.

In the presentation, the group outlined an unincorporated Willowbrook area, which they described as “geographically, socially and politically isolated.”

“If we can grow our network and share that with other people, we can get a project going to help that neighborhood,” Janowick said.

Following Janowick’s group presentation was the

• Thousands of paper and plastic shopping bags end up in landfills after the holiday season. Reusable cloth bags can limit the amount of bags tossed away, and users of plastic bags can recycle those bags at appropriate receptacles.

• Four million tons of waste is attributed to shopping bags and wrapping paper. Recycling paper or looking for reusable items in which to wrap gifts can cut down on paper waste.

• Approximately 33 million live trees are cut down and sold in North America each year for Christmas. If you use a live tree, be sure to recycle it so it can be turned into mulch instead of being sent to a landfill. Otherwise, consider buying a potted tree and planting it after the holidays.

• Nearly 2.65 billion Christmas cards are sold and exchanged each year in the United States alone. This many cards can fill a football field 10 stories high. One less card sent per person can save roughly 50,000 cubic yards of paper.

Electronic greetings are another way to save paper.

• If everyone in Canada wrapped just three gifts in reused paper or gift bags, it would save enough paper to cover 45,000 hockey rinks.

Holiday Entertaining

S

ome might call the dinner party a lost art, but gathering family and friends around the table to eat great food, drink fantastic wine and enjoy each other’s company is the perfect way to celebrate the holidays. Creating an elegant, effortless evening to remember is easier than one might think.

Perfecting the dinner party is about putting people at ease and creating an environment that encourages conversation and laughter - the two most important elements of a successful dinner party. So, instead of trying to impress guests with fancy culinary skills or decorating prowess, focus on five simple tips:

1. Light can be the life of the party

it. Greet guests with a bright and beautiful sparkling rose and keep it flowing during the cocktail hour. During dinner, offer one red and one white wine. Santa Margherita Chianti and Pinot Grigio are two delicious options with wide appeal.

3. Of course dessert is a food group!

Dessert is the perfect way to end an amazing meal. Leave your guests floating on air with angel food cake topped with a Prosecco-infused frosting.

4. Don’t let guests leave empty-handed

Giving guests a little something to take home when they leave extends the good vibes.

Say goodnight in a unique way by sending guests home with a bottle of wine or votive From glowing centerpieces to sparkling votive candles, elegant party lighting is always a candle to re-create the magic in their own home. bright idea. Candles set the mood and create ambiance - and allow your guests to truly shine.

2. Let the wine flow

The right wine can perfect the moment and no dinner party would be complete without

5. Remember to breathe

If you’re having fun, your guests will too. Take a deep breath and, while you’re at it, give your red wine a little air, too. Aerators open up the aromas and flavors, making every sip better.

hanukah, Christmas and New Year’s Eve are right around the corner. That means neighborhoods, buildings and stores will soon be awash in holiday splendor. Social schedules will be full, and men and women everywhere will shuffle to complete their holiday shopping.

Grab bags are a staple of this season of giving, and the following are a few dos and don’ts to ensure participation in gift exchanges is fun and friendly for all involved.

••• DO set a gift amount limit. Holiday grab bags are more about having fun and exchanging a little something with friends and family members than walking away with amazing prizes. Establish a spending limit so everyone receives a gift of roughly the same value and no one feels slighted or left out.

••• DON’T exceed the spending limit. It can be tempting to spend more to make your gift appear more impressive. But overspending defeats the purpose of the gift exchange. Grab bags typically are anonymous, so being overly generous will not win you any style points.

••• DO make it a game. Tossing gifts in a bag only to have others reach in and grab one is certainly effective. But the concept can be even more fun if you make a game out of it. Try passing wrapped gifts around in a circle to a holiday song. When the music stops, the gift you are holding is the one you open. Experiment with your own variations to make gift exchanges more fun.

••• DON’T let anyone see the gift you bring. The idea is to keep things as secretive as possible so as not to sway the selection of presents.

••• DO ensure your gift is unisex. Unless you know specifically that only men or women will be opening the presents, select items that will appeal to both genders. Food, gift cards, music, or home staples make great grab bag gifts.

••• DON’T forget to consider ages as well. Gift exchanges may include both children and adults, so include gifts that appeal to all ages when necessary. When the exchange has ended, allow participants to swap gifts if they want to.

••• DO expect some grab bag gifts to be gag gifts. Such gifts are entertaining and may make up the majority of the grab bag gifts. Keep your sense of humor and you’re likely to enjoy grab bags a lot more.

••• DON’T regift items to use as grab bag picks. Should the person who gave you the gift participate in the grab bag, he or she can trace that gift back to you and may be offended.

••• DO make sure everyone is aware that there will be a grab bag gift exchange, as there needs to be an equal number of gifts to participants so everyone gets a treat. Hosts may want to have a few extra wrapped gifts around just in case someone forgets to bring their contribution.

••• Gift exchanges in the form of grab bags, auctions, swaps, and other games make for fun additions to holiday festivities. They also can be a part of any family or friends gathering to add excitement and entertainment to the occasion.

A

ny time is a great time for families to talk to their children about giving back and helping those who are less fortunate. Whether you're celebrating a holiday, special occasion, or still haven't figured out your 2015 resolution, make giving back part of the conversation - from making financial donations to volunteering time and energy, giving can be easy and enjoyable.

As parents who want your children to be well-rounded, caring citizens, leading by example is important. Getting involved in a giving-back project as a family can help your kids learn good values. Here are some great projects your family can take on together: Organize a food drive - The winter months can be tough on food pantries. If your children are involved in a club or organization, help them organize a food drive with their peers. You can even ask your neighbors to get involved. Have your children draft a letter that will inform the neighbors about what you're doing, when you'll be picking up food, and what kinds of food are most needed by the pantry. Be sure to encourage your children to thank everyone who donates food.

1

Volunteer - There are so many ways your children can put their efforts toward volunteering. For older children who are able to shovel snow, rake leaves or mow lawns, have them connect with a neighbor or family friend who is housebound or on vacation. Younger children can help with keeping the community clean, too. Head out to a park to pick up litter and recycle cans and plastic bottles. Or connect with a nursing home and ask if there is a resident who would like a weekly visit; maybe they would enjoy a chance to play board or card games with your children.

2

Vitamin A is distributed through Vitamin Angels’ partners to Mayan families.

More on Ana Estela’s story can be found at www.vitaminangels.org/gift.

Get crafty - Let your children's talents turn into something good for others. For example, they can create holiday cards to be delivered to service members while they are overseas and away from their friends and family.

The same kinds of cards can also be sent to patients who need some cheering up while in the hospital. If your children knit or sew, have them make blankets, scarves, hats and mittens for people who might need some warmer clothing.

4

Make giving relatable, measureable and meaningful Explain to your children the benefits of donating money to highly reputable organizations (check Charity Navigator ratings to ensure your dollars will be responsibly managed) that help others in need, especially organizations that help children. For example, Vitamin Angels helps support children who don't have the opportunity to eat a variety of healthy, nutritious foods their bodies need.

Clean out the closet - Before or after a big gift-giving holiday, An estimated 190 million children under the age of 5 suffer from vitamin-A deficiency, cleaning the house and eliminating some of the toys is a high priority. Ask which can lead to weakened immune systems, childhood blindness and even death. With your children to go through the clothes they've outgrown and the toys they Vitamin Angels, a $.25 donation can help provide a child in need the vitamin A he or she no longer play with.

The ASUS PadFone X mini is the first smartphone in the U.S. with an Intel processor and LTE solution that transforms from a 4.5-inch smartphone into a 7-inch tablet when docked into the tablet docking station, offering consumers the benefits of two devices for less than $200. When looking for a smartphone for a holiday gift, look for one that is blazing fast and has a long battery life like the ASUS PadFone X mini, which also runs on Android with thousands of apps that can meet just about anyone’s needs.

One thing that makes new technology so exciting is the numerous options that become available every single year. But with so many options this can be overwhelming.

Cheddar cheese or Comté cheese • Coarsely ground black pepper

By Alissa Harb

• 4 cups homemade or canned reduced-sodium chicken or vegetable broth • 1 2 cups (6 ounces) grated gruyere or Swiss cheese

Preheat oven to 350F. Tear bread into 1-inch pieces and bake until crisp, stirring once, 10 to 12 minutes.

Increase oven temperature to 400F. Combine onion and squash in a large bowl. Add oil, sage, thyme, salt and pepper. Toss well. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast until onions begin to brown and squash is fork-tender, 22 to 25 minutes.

Coat a 13 x 9-inch baking dish or 12 (1-cup) or 6 (2-cup) ovenproof bowls or ramekins with cooking spray. Place bread in a single layer in the bottom of pan or bowl. Distribute half the squash mixture over bread. Sprinkle on half the cheese.

Repeat layers.

Slowly pour in 2 cups broth over top, allowing bread to soak up broth and pressing with the back of a spoon. Add remaining broth until it reaches 1 inch below the pan’s rim.

Reduce oven heat to 375F. Cover pan with aluminum foil and place it on a baking sheet to catch drips. Bake, covered, 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake 35 to 45 minutes, until bubbling, pufed and golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Step 2: Lock it up Whether you are home, running errands or away on vacation, take care to close and lock all doors and windows. Remember to set alarms, too. “Given that most people have extra valuables and gifts in their homes during this time, it’s a good idea to practice home safety whether you’re there or not,” says Leman. Leman adds that a simple dowel placed in a sliding glass door or window can be an inexpensive way to secure vulnerable entrance points.

“Alarms or closed circuit video surveillance systems are a great and inexpensive way to protect your home,” he adds.

Step 4: Dispose smartly It’s best not to alert strangers to the new 70-inch flat screen in your home by leaving the box on the curb for refuse pickup. “When it comes to big-ticket items and valuables, boxes on the curb can be an advertisement for the new valuables in your home,” cautions Leman. “Take the time to break down boxes and recycle them or put them on the curb over time and inconspicuously,” he says.

Step 5: Be a tricky traveler Be proactive about home safety if you have holiday travel plans. Never let mail or newspapers pile up at your home, as it is an instant indicator you are not there. Have a neighbor collect mail and newspapers or have your service stopped by calling the post office and newspaper provider. “Set your lights and television on timers,” suggests Leman, who also advises homeowners to have a neighbor park their car in your driveway intermittently to keep up the appearance that someone is coming and going.

Step 3: Light the night A well-lit and well-groomed home provides an important measure of safety.

“The better the lighting in your home and yard, the fewer places there are for criminals to lurk,” says Leman. USAA, a leading provider of banking, insurance and investment services to the military community, recommends the 3 foot/6 foot rule: trim branches to 6 feet off the ground and shrubs down to 3 feet to minimize hiding places for burglars.

hen you think of the holidays, celebrations, presents and friends likely come to mind - not crime. Unfortunately, burglaries increase at this time of year, and your home could be a target. With a few simple safety precautions, you can protect your property, your family and your valuables now and well into the new year.

“Taking steps to protect your home during the holidays isn’t radically different from what most people should be doing the rest of the year,” says Thomas Leman, a retired 27-year veteran of the police force and criminal justice professor at Argosy University Online. “The problem is that most people get lured into a false sense of security and tend to let their guard down, thinking that crime won’t happen to them.”

TAKE PRECAUTIONS TODAY TO PROTECT YOUR HOME AND DETER CRIMINALS. CONSIDER THESE FIVE SIMPLE STEPS: Step 1: Decorate with care When it comes to holiday decorations, modesty is definitely the best policy, says Leman. “While you may love the look of a Christmas tree in your front window, expensive decorations on display can be a signal that there are valuables inside your home worth a criminal’s time. Gifts under the tree are the most blatant of these displays and are a welcome invitation for thieves.”

Leaving gifts tucked away until the last possible minute is a quick and easy safety precaution. If you must display presents, make sure they are out of sight from any windows or doorways.

T

hough there is no official data that declares the best-selling holiday toy for children of all-time, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair to assume the lovable â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sesame Streetâ&#x20AC;? figure Elmo is high on the list of most popular holiday toys. Much of that popularity can be traced to the introduction of Tickle Me Elmo in 1996. Though not the first Elmo doll, Tickle Me Elmo became the must-have gift of 1996, when parents searched far and wide for the doll that laughed when users tickled its stomach. During the holiday season of 1996, many people paid far beyond market price just so their children could wake up on Christmas or Chanukah and have a Tickle Me Elmo doll to call their own. Since 1996, Elmo has been reincarnated many times over, and each Elmo doll seems to inspire its own craze come the holiday season. Released in 1998, Walk â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Talk Elmo was a popular childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gift, as was Rock â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Roll Elmo (1999), Tickle Me Elmo Surprise (2001), Chicken Dance Elmo (2002), and SHOUT Elmo (2005). In 2006, MattelÂŽ, the company that produces the Elmo dolls, announced a special commemorative Elmo to mark the 10-year anniversary of the introduction of Tickle Me Elmo. That, too, sparked a buying frenzy, as some reports indicated private sellers were selling the latest Elmo, known as TMX Elmo, for thousands of dollars.

he holiday season is full of joy. But in the midst of decorating and socializing, pet owners may overlook the needs of their pets.

Hectic schedules and homes full of unusual décor can throw pets off-kilter.

No pet owner wants their pet to feel uncomfortable or suffer any injuries, so it’s important that owners exercise caution with the following items come the holiday season.

• Bones: Is turkey on the menu for the family feast? If so, resist the urge to toss some bones and scraps to dogs or cats. Small bones or bone chips can become lodged in the digestive tracts of pets and cause serious injury. If you want to provide your pet with a holiday treat, choose a safer, store-bought bone.

• Aromatic oils: The holidays are not the same without the familiar scent of mint, cinnamon or pine. Some people resort to scented candles or aromatherapy oils to create the perfect holiday ambiance. But some synthetic aromas or even natural extracts can be toxic to cats and dogs.

Stick to nontoxic items and keep them well out of the pet’s reach.

• Chocolate and other sweets: An abundance of treats seems to be par for the course during the holiday season. Dogs should avoid all chocolate, but dark chocolate poses a particularly serious threat.

Chocolate can cause agitation, elevated heart rate, diarrhea, vomiting, seizures, and even death. In addition, candy or cookies sweetened with the artificial sweetener xylitol can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure for dogs.

• Pine needles and trees: When ingested, pine needles can puncture the intestines of pets. In search of an easy drink, dogs and cats may be drawn to the fresh water reservoir of live trees, increasing the likelihood that they knock over a Christmas tree, injuring themselves and causing damage around the house. Trees should be properly secured, and fallen needles should be promptly discarded.

• Tinsel and decorations: Skip the tinsel if you have a cat. Felines are likely to mistake tinsel for a toy. Eating tinsel can cause severe damage to a cat’s intestinal tract, as it may get caught in the stomach while the rest of it continues to pass through the intestines. Tinsel also may wrap around the tongue, increasing the cat’s risk of choking. Ornaments also are tempting playthings. Cats may pounce on glass ornaments, breaking them and suffering injury. Keep pets in mind when selecting tree ornaments, and opt for unbreakable ornaments when possible.

• Electrical cords: The American Animal Hospital Association says holiday lights mean more electrical cords for kittens and puppies to chew. Secure all cords and keep them out of reach of pets.

• Candles: The subtle flicker of a lit candle can add ambiance to a space. But all it takes is the swish of a tail or the pat of a paw to knock over a candle and spark a fire. Never leave lit candles unattended. If you have boisterous pets, opt for LED simulated candles instead.

• Alcohol: Spirits are sometimes a part of celebrations, but alcoholic beverages should be kept out of reach of pets. Alcohol suppresses the immune system, and it can result in significant health issues for pets who consume it.

The holiday season is a time for celebration. Ensure that these festivities are as safe for pets as they are enjoyable.

eart disease and stroke remain the two top killers of Americans, according to the American Heart Association. Some research shows that heart-related deaths increase by 5 percent during the holidays, no matter where you live, and more cardiac deaths occur on Christmas and New Year’s day than on any other days of the year, according to a study by the University of California, San Diego and Tufts University School of Medicine published in the journal Circulation.

Cardiovascular-related incidents increase in winter for a number of reasons, including drops in temperature that constrict blood vessels, irregular workout routines, poor stress management and changing eating habits.

“We tend to eat significantly more inflammation-promoting foods in the winter,” says Dr. Michael Roizen, founder of RealAge.com. “The combination of poor diet and other stressors can trigger plaque ruptures and cause chunks of fatty deposits lining arteries to enter the bloodstream, potentially leading to more risk for heart attack and stroke.”

Here are suggestions for keeping your heart healthy this winter: Maintain a healthy diet Less than 1 percent of adults meet the American Heart Association’s definition for an “Ideal Healthy Diet,” which means the majority of people need to make some smarter nutrition decisions. Don’t overindulge on artery-clogging dishes, and instead focus on foods that contain key heart health nutrients, including: * Omega-3s DHA and EPA, found in fatty fish like salmon and sardines, are essential fatty acids which have been shown to support healthy blood pressure and brain function. GOED (the Global Organization for EPA and DHA omega-3) recommends getting 250-500mg of EPA and DHA per day through foods and supplements. * Vitamin D, found in mushrooms and added to soy and almond milks, has been shown to support heart health. Some research indicates that a vitamin D deficiency may be a risk factor for heart attacks, congestive heart failure, peripheral arterial disease and high blood pressure.

Sunlight is the best natural source for vitamin D, but since people spend more time indoors during the winter, add foods that pack an added vitamin D punch, like soy milk fortified with the nutrient to the grocery list. * Beta-glucan, found in oats, is a plant-based sugar known to lower absorption of cholesterol, which may reduce the risk of heart disease. Research shows that consuming approximately 3mg per day of oat beta-glucan has a statistically significant cholesterol lowering effect. * For more information about nutrition for heart health, visit vitaminsinmotion.com.

Even if you do follow a healthy diet, a busy lifestyle can make it difficult to obtain the recommended amounts of vitamins and minerals from food alone. One simple way to enhance your diet is to look for foods fortified with key nutrients and nutritional supplements.

Stay active Regular exercise has a favorable effect on many of the established risk factors for cardiovascular disease. For example, exercise promotes weight reduction and can help reduce blood pressure. Take the dog on a walk or challenge your kids to a snowball fight. Make it fun, but make sure it happens.

Keep warm If you’re going outdoors in the cold, keep your mouth covered with a scarf so warm air hits your lungs first when you breathe in. For those who are traveling from a warm to a cold climate, pack warm gear, because some research suggests a dip in temperature from what you’re used to may increase your risk for stroke by 7 percent, and heart attack by 12 percent.

Relax Focus on the pleasures of the holiday season, like gift-giving, family time and volunteering. Giving and relaxation can benefit stress levels.

Finally, sticking to your normal sleep schedule is very important.

RIVERSIDE – Starting the season 7-0 should be a happy time for a coach, but Dallas Till recognizes there is work to be done with the Riverside Brookfield girls basketball team.

The Bulldogs won their own Thanksgiving tournament and opened conference play Thursday with a 60-50 win against IC Catholic, but Till still came away frustrated.

“We got to handle pressure a little bit better and we got some things to fix up, but in the end it’s a 10-point win,” Till said. “It’s just not one for some reason that I feel as good as I think I should about it.”

RB, which continued Metro Suburban West play Tuesday against Fenton, closed the second quarter on a 19-2 run to go into halftime up 35-17 against the Knights. The Bulldogs opened the lead up to 23 points in the fourth quarter before a late IC rally.

“The second quarter was the best quarter defensively I’ve ever seen my team play,” Till said. “The intensity and the effort from when we extended the lead from one early in the quarter to 18 at the half. Then we kind of breezed through the second half. We can’t do that, we have to finish games.”

Leading the way in RB’s undefeated start has been sophomore point guard Samantha Bloom, who is averaging 11.3 points per game, and senior forward Janae Dabney, who has three double-doubles and is scoring a team-high 13 points per game.

In addition, 6-foot-7 sophomore Dana Rettke is still a potentially dominant force inside, sophomore guard Lyndsey Hoyd is a sharpshooter from beyond the arc and newcomer Jess Jno-Baptiste is adding quality minutes to the team as well.

ALL-AREA FOOTBALL MVP

LIONS’ PRIDE

By DAN SANTAROMITA

About Leonard Ross

dsantaromita@shawmedia.com WESTERN SPRINGS – For two and a half seasons, Leonard Ross has been the man in the backfield for Lyons Township football.

The running back joined the varsity team midway through his sophomore season in 2012 and immediately became a crucial part of the Lions’ offense. His senior season, in which he rushed for 1,456 yards and totaled 19 touchdowns in 10 games, was his best yet.

“I think this was definitely the best season that I have personally had, but I think our team as a whole could have done better than what we did as far as playoffs,” Ross said.

Opposing defenses knew Ross was the focal point of LT’s offense, but that didn’t make him any easier to stop.

“He’s so much of our offense so you give it to your best kid all the time,” LT coach Kurt Weinberg said. “He’s the best player we got. He’s a great player. He’s the best I’ve ever had.”

Class 8A champion Stevenson found out firsthand how tough Ross was to contain. The Patriots barely escaped with a

“Probably in early January I’ll start working out for next year when I go to Miami.”

Ross just got back from an official visit in Oxford, Ohio.

It was the first time he stayed overnight on campus. He spent time with his fellow incoming recruits and got further acquainted with his future home.

Now Ross will follow a workout plan to get himself prepared to represent the Redhawks next season. Preparing for college football after a successful varsity stint at LT is a long way from the fifth-grader Bill Ackerman - backerman@shawmedia.com that didn’t like running when Lyons Township’s Leonard Ross finds room to run Oct. 17 in a game against York. Ross was the focal point of he first played football. the Lions’ offense and ran for nearly 1,500 yards in 10 games this season.

Ross said. “Then I worked out yards rushing on 34 carries for the win.
