kmurray@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – More than 100 years of Downers Grove firefighting history will be on display at the Downers Grove Museum beginning Saturday.

The exhibit, Fighting Fire: History of the Downers Grove Fire Department, will feature photos, uniforms and other artifacts to highlight 117 years of bravery.

The exhibit opening will take place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the Downers Grove Museum campus, 831 Maple Ave. A raffle drawing will offer fire-related prizes for winners. The exhibit will run through May 30.

The museum permanently houses a 1921 White Pumper fire truck, which museum supervisor Ashlee Grude said sparked the idea for the fire department tribute. The exhibit will highlight the long history of volunteer firefighters, technology and major fires or events that happened in the village, she said.

One of those major fires that will have artifacts such as photographs and newspaper clippings displayed is the Thompson Store for Men fire.

History recalls the fire started in the basement of the building, located at 5112 Main St., on Dec. 22, 1960, and

Cronin touts economic progress

By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com The future of DuPage County may look bright in many ways, but there are still many challenges ahead, the county board chairman said.

In front of a crowd of elected officials, chambers of commerce and businesses, Dan Cronin gave an economically focused State of the County address Thursday in Woodridge.

Cronin presented remarks and answered questions at the event sponsored by county economic development organization Choose DuPage and supported by chambers in Woodridge, Downers Grove, Darien, Hinsdale and Lisle.

The Chairman said he welcomed the opportunity to deliver such an address to so many in the business world, saying the “relationship between DuPage and our business community is vital.”

And Cronin believed that connec-

tion was flourishing, touting a 4.5 percent unemployment rate, the lowest in the region thanks to a conscious effort to create a business friendly environment, he said.

“I do think we at the county all join in a chorus of voices that really create a culture out here in DuPage County ... that does really and truly convey the message that, we want your business, we support business, and we value economic growth,” he said.

Cronin said manufacturing was climbing in the county, with 15 straight months of industrial vacancy rate drops through May 2014, and he projects a steady 3.75 percent growth in county sales tax revenue. The county also retains a AAA bond rating from all three major credit agencies, which is the case for fewer than 1 percent of all counties in the U.S., he said.

The county is intending to eliminate a quarter-cent sales tax in 2016 as the maligned DuPage Water Commission

transitions to a self-sustaining utility, a mirror of Cronin’s Accountability, Consolidation and Transparency initiative dedicated to reducing the size and cost of local government.

The initiative’s successes are highlighted by the county’s continued commitment to a balanced budget, the 45 government jobs that have been cut, and more than $30.5 million the county has saved under Cronin’s watch, he said.

“But our movement in DuPage is about more than cost cutting,” he said. “We are in the business of growing. Growing ideas, growing high-tech manufacturing, growing tomorrow’s businesses.”

That is especially important with the changing demographics in the county, he said. Nearly 175,000 residents are considered low income by federal poverty standards and more than 16 percent of children in DuPage County are food insecure.

Cronin pointed specifically to the

Rev3 tech and manufacturing incubator, the Elgin-O’Hare Western Access Project, a new regional global marketing initiative to help spur international exports and a recent U.S. Commerce Department designation that the region will be eligible to apply for $1.3 billion in federal grants to support job creation.

All would be important to give those in need “hand-ups” and not “handouts,” he said.

Greg Bedalov, president and CEO of Choose DuPage, said the marketing initiative was especially exciting for him, saying that in 10 years working in economic development, he had “never seen the type of regional cooperation and collaboration that’s happening right now.”

He has high hopes that area counties will be able to work together even more to build a more stable economic future through improved marketing, transportation and investment.

Business experts to anchor Economic Forecast event

By KELLI MURRAY kmurray@shawmedia.com What is the economic forecast for the suburban market in 2015?

A panel of experts will provide their insights during the Economic Forecast 2015 event that will be hosted by Suburban Life on Jan. 27 at Drury Lane Conference Center in Oakbrook Terrace.

Panelists slated for the event are Anthony Griffin, executive director of Berwyn Development Corp.; Heath Ashenfelter, division vice president, True Value Company Chicago; Timothy H. Ricordati, dean of the School for Professional Studies, Elmhurst College; Richard W. Reichert, president and CEO of Community Bank of Elmhurst; and Theresa Schulz, Schulz Properties Ltd.,

Downers Grove.

“I’m excited about the slate of panelists,” Griffin said. “It’s a good cross section and I think it will be a lively discussion, but also very comprehensive.”

Schulz will speak of her more than 20 years of commercial leasing experience in DuPage and surrounding counties.

“I will highlight the market areas of interest within the industry and the strategy behind expanding tenants,” Schulz said. “... Both commercial property owners and businesses/tenants will greatly benefit by the knowledge shared within my segment of this upcoming presentation.”

The moderator will be Dave Lemery, editor, Suburban Life Media, and the keynote speaker will be John Quigley, president and CEO of the Elmhurst

Chamber of Commerce.

Quigley said he expects attendees to gain insight into the intricacies of the economy.

“The better business owners understand their place in the economic ladder, the better prepared they’ll be to take a step up rather than a step down,” Quigley said.

Lemery plans to prompt a conversation about how changes in the economy in recent years will impact the year ahead.

“We’re still dealing with the aftermath of the recession and a recovery that has been terrific for some but has left others behind,” Lemery said. “What are the opportunities and risks that businesses and individuals need to look out for in 2015?

I’m eager to hear the responses.”

Ask Dr. Webster

It’s YOUR Home. Only The Finest Will Do.

A: Under various circumstances, bleeding can occur in the mouth. Bleeding is to be expected after a dental procedure like a tooth extraction. Your dentist will tell you what to expect in a circumstance like that. Bleeding can also occur after an accident, like biting your tongue or the inside of your cheek.

Home & Garden Expo Drury Lane v Oak Brook Terrace

If bleeding comes on suddenly, rinse your mouth out with water and see if you can identify the source of the blood flow. Depending on the volume of bleeding, or what you see, you may want to contact your dentist immediately.

But if your gums bleed after brushing, for example, and they are sore and appear red and puffy, the bleeding can be an early sign of periodontal (gum) disease. That is a condition you definitely want to address as soon as possible. Gum disease is the number one cause of tooth loss. As with most health issues, the sooner you start treating gum disease, the easier it will be to get it under control and eliminate it.

As mentioned, bleeding after a tooth extraction is normal.

You should follow your dentist’s instructions carefully.

Generally, a blood clot will develop in the site within an hour or so after the procedure. You should leave the clot undisturbed for a day or two until the wound begins to heal. If bleeding persists, you can press a gauze pad on the wound to stanch the flow. Talk with your dentist about the causes of bleeding in the mouth.

Indian Chinese cuisine goes back over 100 years when people of Chinese origin moved to India across the North East Border and settled in Calcutta. Most of these immigrants were of Hakka ancestry. Over the years they adapted the Chinese cuisine for the locale Indian seasoning and cooking techniques. This is how Indian Chinese fusion began.

Curtain rising on movie season at the Downers Grove library Now is the season of the year when all our thoughts turn to the movies.

At the Downers Grove Public Library, this means we’re getting ready for a big event. No, it’s not the Golden Globes, not the Oscars. It’s our first View From the Director’s Chair film screening at 10:30 a.m.

Feb. 7 at the Tivoli Theatre in COMMUNITY Downers Grove.

VOICE With the generous support Rick of a Best Buy Foundation Ashton Community Grant and the skilled leadership of Chicago independent documentarian Laura Zinger of 20KFilms, the library has mobilized its new Media Lab. We’ve helped eleven local high school students learn the basics of filmmaking. The eight-session instructional program has included training on use of cameras and microphones, lighting, interviewing and editing. High-quality equipment and advanced editing software have made the process effective.

Now it’s time for the show. With topics as wide-ranging as the gaming industry, contemporary art, popular music and the stress levels of students, the young filmmakers have created an exciting array of possibilities. There is something for almost everyone.

“At the core of our library’s values is the commitment to provide our patrons with ways to learn and create,” said Dale Galiniak, the library’s information technology manager. “We built the media lab with the goal of expanding those values into the 21st century. We have been able to engage local teens and see them create some amazing pieces of work.”

“The most important component of this program’s success, besides having a wonderful group of students, was the opportunity to engage an experienced documentary filmmaker, Laura Zinger, to teach the classes,” said Lynette Pitrak, the library’s Teen Services coordinator.

The students are excited, too.

“I felt that the experience was amazing,” student Jasmine Smith said. “Not only did I learn the ropes of creating a great documentary, I am also able to show it at the Tivoli. That’s an awesome opportunity for someone like me who is making her first film.”

Thanks to the generosity of Tivoli Theatre owners Shirley and Willis Johnson, the Feb. 7 morning showing will be free and open to the public. The popcorn will be hot.

Rick Ashton is the director of the Downers Grove Public Library.

Jennifer Rouzan of Downers Grove and her 6-year-old son, Joshua, construct monkey bars out of bits and pieces Jan. 9 during the Downers Grove Junior Womans League’s Mom and Son Gym Jam.

The Downers Grove Junior Womans Club helped raise funds for Dream Build Play, an organization that builds playgrounds for special-needs children, with its Mom and Son Gym Jam event Jan. 9. The event included a free-throw contest, tug of war, raffles and, of course, some quality mother-son time. For information about the local club, visit ggjwc.org.

After assessing damage from a Jan. 8 flood, the DuPage Children’s Museum has scheduled its reopening for April. A main waterline burst overnight, causing flood damage to all three floors of the museum. While closed, the museum will continue to offer off-site programs.

Conquering the Department of Motor Vehicles is also high on the list for many learners.

“Imagine the sheer intimidation factor of a DMV,” Howenstine said.

“There are arrows pointing all over the place, and people barking at you.

Just to get to the test area you have to navigate a maze.”

A tutor must have 18 hours of training at Literacy DuPage before being paired with a learner, and must commit to two hours a week for six months to a year, Howenstine said.

The fundraiser will help supplement the $500 to $600 a year to support a student, she said.

They should be housed inside during hot weather as well as cold weather and rainy weather. In other words, they need to live inside just as their “pawrents” do. People who cannot or won’t do this should not have pets.

Underpass could save lives

I’d like to respond to the overpass/underpass in Glen Ellyn. I think an overpass/underpass is more important than a pool situation that was going here. Also an underpass from the train station from the north side to the south side is also very important. I think it could save lives in the future.

It never ceases to amaze me of the stupidity of some people, especially some of those in the Sound Off section of the Suburban Life. One person complained about plowing of streets and snow left on his driveway. He said the village should come up with a solution to this. Do you have any ideas? I’ll bet not. Another complaint was about getting on Ogden Avenue from the Burlington area. The advice was to install a traffic signal. What kind of a signal, to do what and where?

In many cases, traffic control signals do not help but add to problems. Look at the Forest Hills section of Western Springs.

There is a total of more than 95 stop signs there – all installed at the insistence of residents. This section of the village is about one-eighth the size of the total. Ridiculous.

DOWNERS GROVE – Fashion and wine will soon blend into a philanthropic event to benefit Literacy DuPage, a free literacy tutoring program for adults.

Reading Between the Wines will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Jan. 31 at Parkers’ Restaurant and Bar, 1000 31st St., Downers Grove. Tickets are $40 and include a three-course meal with wine flights for each course.

“It’s a wonderful event,” said Mary Howenstine, development manager for Literacy DuPage. “The highlight, for me, is one of our learners will speak at the event.”

Literacy DuPage clientele is more than 50 percent immigrants whose English is a second language, Howenstine said. The remainder are individuals who were born and raised in this country, but did not learn well in the American education system for a variety of reasons, she added.

The clients are paired with tutors for a customized literacy program to help individuals with low literacy, considered a third- or fourth-grade reading level.

“We have hundreds of learners and pair them with individual tutors,” Howenstine said. “They set their own goals. Some want to learn online bank-

Blankets For Babies An Exciting Service Project!

SPONSORED BY

By Denise Freese The holidays are traditionally a time of giving, sharing, and doing things for others, especially for the less fortunate.

Although there are many families who need assistance throughout the year, the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons offer many opportunities to consider helping others through tough times.

Sharing Connections, www.SharingConnections.org, is an organization that provides gently used furniture and household items to families at or below the poverty level who are struggling with fire, flood, or job loss, or with domestic violence relocation. They also provide services to veterans suffering from war trauma. Sharing Connections provides their clients, who live mainly in DuPage County and Metropolitan Chicago, with items they can’t afford to purchase.

On December 10, 2014, Sharing Connections received a special delivery from Mikaela Maurer, an eighth-grader at St. Mary of Gostyn Catholic School. Mikaela

recruited some friends from her eighth grade class to work with her to create eight fleece blankets for underprivileged families. The project was part of her required Sacrament of Confirmation service project. “Blankets for Babies� was the name of Mikaela’s special project. Her friends who helped create the blankets included Betsy Romenesko, Emily Aument, Katie Stapleton, Melissa Bohanon, John Snyder, Joe Vogrin, Liam O’Connell, John McSweeney, Eddie Rodrigez, Alex Luka, Lauren Moore, Cassie Cahoon, Lauren Myczek, Mia Albian, and Anna Brady.

St. Mary of Gostyn Catholic Parish and School was established in 1891, and currently serves over 2,800 parish families.

Children have been attending St. Mary of Gostyn Catholic School for over 100 years. The school offers an excellent education in a caring and giving community, as evidenced by Mikaela Maurer’s “Blankets for Babies� project. Students are well prepared for high school and college, with a strong academic, extra-curricular, and spiritual foundation.

VILLAGE COLLECTS USED MOTOR OIL The Village accepts used motor oil and transmission fluid which will be used to heat the fleet services garage during the winter months. This program is not for use by commercial entities.

Items may be brought to the Fleet Services garage, Monday-Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The garage is located within the fenced parking lot off Curtiss Street, on the east end of the Village Hall complex.

Used motor oil must be poured into the large receptacle located on the south side of the garage. Empty all containers into the receptacle which is labeled USED MOTOR OIL. Please take empty containers with you to reuse as these are not recyclable.

RX DRUG DISPOSAL PROGRAM The Downers Grove Police Department Prescription Drug Disposal Program provides residents with a way to safely dispose of old prescription medications. This program is by appointment only.

To take advantage of this free service, contact the program coordinator for an appointment: Mary Wennerstrom Drug Disposal Coordinator (630)-434-5681 mwennerstrom@downers.us Residents who are unable to drop off their medications may request a Crime Prevention Officer to come to their home for collection.

Improper disposal of medications can pollute drinking water with toxic chemicals. Storing unused medications can pose other safety issues. It is estimated that each day 2500 teenagers get high for the first time on unused drugs they find in medicine cabinets at home or at their grandparents’ homes.

There are also incidents of accidental ingestion of these medications by children, the elderly, and pets.

The medications will subsequently be disposed of using the protocols followed for disposing of drugs held in evidence.

Trojan boys dominate for sixth straight win

By DAVE OWEN msleditorial@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – The pregame inductions of John Lackaff and Rebecca Rusch into the Downers Grove North Hall of Fame were just the first tributes to Trojans’ history Saturday.

Hitting 10 of 11 field goal attempts in the first quarter, the Trojans’ boys basketball team rolled to a 60-33 win against Andrew to run their win streak to six games.

“I’m hearing we’re the first team to do so [win six straight] since 2001,” Downers Grove North senior guard Jordon Kedrowski said. “We’re pretty excited about it.

“I thought we came out in the first quarter and executed what we needed to do. [We played] A great first quarter, and it propelled us through the rest of the game.”

Kedrowski led Downers North (105) with 15 points, but balance was the key as seven different Trojans scored in the first quarter, which ended with the Trojans up 24-11.

“I thought we were patient, and defensively we stayed in the stance and got some stops and contested some shots,” Downers North coach Jim Thomas said. “And we got some easy runouts early that allowed us to build up a little bit of a lead.”

A 3-pointer at the buzzer by Evan Jakobsze capped the near-perfect first quarter. North’s defense limited Andrew to 24 percent field-goal shooting on the night (11 of 46), including 3 of 23 in the second half. The Trojans cooled a bit from their hot start but led 37-20 at halftime and 56-28 with 2:55 left.

The Trojans’ six-win streak started with the late December return from injury of 6-foot-7 football standout David Edwards.

“Dave’s a huge piece,” Kedrowski said, “and everyone’s putting personal agendas aside and we’re playing as a team. It doesn’t matter who scores. Different guys can step up each night, and everybody’s contributing.”

Forward Matt Mahlke provided an instant spark off the bench Saturday with six points and a blocked shot in the decisive first quarter. Jack Fallbacher, Jakobsze (five points), Colin Kramper (four points, five rebounds) and Myles Farley (four rebounds, four assists) were other key contributors.

Even with 2014 all-conference swingman Devin Blake (ankle) sidelined, the Trojans are rolling through

January and hoping for more.

“The six wins are nice, but that’s not our goal,” Kedrowski said. “We want to finish strong in conference because we didn’t have a good first half. We’re trying to have a better second half, pick up some key wins over good teams and then get a good seed in sectionals.”

I think a majority of it was we stopped them defensively. When they’re not scoring, it makes it easier for us to score. Moving the ball well

with Suburban Life Sports Editor Jason Rossi about her strong game on senior night, her role as a leader and her commitment to play at the Naval Academy. any other school I visited, and the military aspect was another thing I liked about it.

Rossi: Are you more of a leader this year as a senior?

Winters: I think I’ve definitely done

more than I did last year, but I’m leaning on Jaida [Green] a little bit to help me out. It’s out of my comfort zone a little bit, to say the least, but I’m trying.
