COLD SNAP Mid-winter weather already well established Photos by Steven Buyansky for Shaw Media
It’s only December, but a January weather pattern has already established itself in Kendall County and across northern Illinois. Snowstorms on Friday and then on Saturday night were followed by a big blast of cold, Arctic air that caused temperatures to plummet below zero Sunday. By mid-week, the temperatures had moderated considerably but also increased the possibility for still more snow. Area residents made the best of the winter weather extreme, however, as children enjoyed playing in the snow as their parents and older siblings shoveled out driveways and sidewalks. Local sledding hills were also busy on Sunday afternoon. See more photos on page 6.

They hire excellent instructors that provide textbook instruction partnered with real world experience, which enhances the learning environment and prepares for future challenges. I would like to thank the Waubonsee Community College Board of Trustees and College President Dr. Sobek for their unwavering commitment to our community,” said Sheriff Baird.

They help students document participation in co-curricular activities SHAW MEDIA It is common practice for students to submit an official transcript to document their academic achievements. But what about those achievements that happen outside the classroom? Since 2007, Waubonsee Community College has been offering its students co-curricular transcripts so that they can demonstrate their leadership abilities to transfer schools, potential employers and others. This month, Waubonsee is proud to recognize co-curricular transcripts and the Student Life Department as its Student Success: Institutional Stories. Co-curricular, or extracurricular, involvement brings many broad benefits to students, several of which coincide with qualities prospective employers are looking for. According to businessnewsdaily. com, employers are looking for such things as commitment, a positive attitude, the ability to wear many hats and passion. Some of these are best practiced and demonstrated outside the academic realm. “I often refer to the activities out-
side the classroom as the learning laboratory,” said Waubonsee’s Student Life Manager Mary Tosch. “It is an opportunity for students to enhance or develop their skills in a safe environment where failure and learning is part of the process. These experiences outside the classroom are an opportunity to practice leadership skills such as conflict resolution, team building, goal setting, resource management, and networking. Many of these skills are useful for the larger world.” Also useful is the ability to have documented proof of extracurricular involvement. That’s why Waubonsee introduced co-curricular transcripts in 2007. Any documented student involvement is verified by advisers rather than simply self-reported. A variety of involvement qualifies for inclusion on the co-curricular transcript: student clubs, organizations, athletics, honors and awards and other notable student activities. In fact, as opportunities have expanded and adviser awareness has grown, so too have the number of co-curricular notations earned by Waubonsee students. The introductory year of 2007 saw just

53 notations, while 2012 saw 635. This year has seen more than 1,000 notations so far. But students don’t have to wait until they get out into the work world to reap the benefits of extracurricular involvement. It can impress transfer schools or scholarship providers. Plus, involvement often leads to higher grade point averages and a higher likelihood to stay in school and graduate. Waubonsee looked at the past two years of students who either had no co-curricular involvement or some co-curricular involvement. The involved students averaged a 3.33 cumulative GPA – 0.76 points higher than the non-involved students. The involved students also averaged 11.41 completed credit hours their first semester vs. 5.75 for the uninvolved students.

A New Year’s party for kids SHAW MEDIA Families and children can start their New Year’s Eve activities early with a celebration from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 31, at the Fox Valley Park District’s Vaughan Athletic Center. The Family New Year’s Eve Party will ring in 2017 with a variety of festivities. Kids and adults can get energetic while climbing and bouncing on giant inflatables, playing interactive games, competing in hula hoop contests and dancing to the latest tunes with a live DJ. Popular features also include the “Active Toddler Zone,” a “Meet-andGreet” with characters including Spider-Man, Tinkerbell, Stormtrooper, Elsa, Cinderella and others and the
traditional New Year’s countdown featuring a colossal balloon drop at noon. “This event gives kids their own celebration,” said youth programs supervisor Stevie Michell. “It’s a great way for families and friends to enjoy a New Year’s party.” Guests are encouraged to register by noon on Dec. 30 to guarantee admission, party favors, activities and snack. Advance tickets are $8 per person (ages 2 and up) and available online. Children under 2 are free. Day-of registration is $11 per person, but the event often sells out; party favors and snacks are not guaranteed for those who register on event day.

Fox Valley Older Adult Services adult day service participants were able to join the many jolly holiday celebrants at their recent holiday party. A visit by Santa, entertainment by Ethan Bell, food and raffles all added to the merriment hosted by Voluntary Action Center, a FVOAS partner in transportation and meals. “Remember to support FVOAS during your year-end giving,” said a news release from the agency. “Programs such as adult day service allow adults who need assistance during the day to continue living vibrant lives in their own homes. Their participation in adult day service also gives their caregivers
much needed respite time.” Sharing party time, such as at the holiday party, is one of the many ways that the adult day service participants have the opportunity to join other community members in active adult activities. Through the many programs and services available to adults from DeKalb, Kane, Kendall, LaSalle and Bureau counties, FVOAS ensures that senior lives remain vital and healthy. Programs and activities run daily at the Community Center in Sandwich along with adult day service and home services. Call 815-786-9404 for more information on how you can help with your time, give a donation or perhaps benefit from services.

In the wild, tillandsias use their minimal root system to attach themselves to trees and rocks, absorbing moisture and nutrients through small scales on their leaves.

Grow tillandsias – an ‘air plant’ – this winter SHAW MEDIA Plant enthusiasts should check out tillandsia this holiday season, according to University of Illinois Extension educator Kelly Allsup. “Even if you describe yourself as a brown thumb and are allergic to soil, you are going to love growing these super easy plants. The strappy tillandsia plants come in different sizes, textures, and colors and you are sure to find one to fit your holiday décor,” Allsup says. Tillandsia is a type of epiphyte or “air plant.” In the wild, they use their minimal root system to attach themselves to trees and rocks, absorbing moisture and nutrients through small scales on their leaves. These scales give the plants their unique silver or gray appearance. “Air plants resemble a little octopus with their spreading tentacles,” Allsup says. “They have been made popular as a houseplant and generally are easy to care for,” Allsup notes. “They enjoy indirect sun within the home or a shadier location if placed outside. Watering is critical. We recommend watering tillandsia once per week by submerging the entire plant in a bowl for 30 minutes to 2 hours. Allow them to dry a couple of hours before putting back into an enclosed environment. Misting can be done once or twice a week depending on the season.” Tillandsia flowers range from white to bold orange, red, purple, or pink. Blossoms can quickly fade away or persist for several months. The flowers are long, tubular to funnel shaped, with showy floral parts. If they do not bloom, this may be an indication of insufficient light. Allsup explains that there are two main types of tillandsias. “Some are gray and some are green. The gray kinds are native to tropical forests where long droughts are common.
Their gray leaves reflect sunlight and conserve moisture. These can be mounted and grown in bright filtered light. Green-leaved tillandsias are native to rainy, humid tropical forests and are grown best in less light inside containers to keep them moist. Our Illinois winter homes are most appropriate for the gray kinds.” Allsup recommends the following tillandsias for Illinois: • Tillandsia caput-medusae has silvery twisty leaves, a swollen base, and a red flower stalk. • Tillandsia plumosa boasts silvery leaves and can be grown on rocks or limbs. • Tillandsia utriculata v. pringleyi has delicate thin silver leaves with a flowering stalk that is red to orange or pink. Tillandsias can be displayed in a variety of artistic ways. For example, Allsup recommends creating a unique wreath by using the formed grapevine wreaths found in craft stores as a base. “Glue a variety of tillandsias, either in on one part of the wreath for an asymmetrical effect or throughout and then add small pine cones, colorful mosses, or miniature festive decorations,” she says. “Or create a tillandsia landscape in a lantern, square glass vase, or under a cloche,” Allsup suggests. “Fill it with moss or aquarium gravel for a base, place in tillandsias, and adorn with pinecones, miniature décor, and driftwood. You could also place them in wine glasses and line them up along the center of the holiday table. “For a unique gift,” Allsup adds, “place tillandsia in a clear plastic or glass ornament with colorful moss, or glue tillandsia to a wine cork or crystal.” For more information on University of Illinois Extension programs in your county, visit web.extension.illinois.edu/dkk.

The Fox Valley Heart Fund at Rush-Copley recently donated an automated external defibrillator (AED) to the Oswego Police Department as part of their AED Donation Program, one of the many community initiatives FVHF offers. Each quarter, FVHF donates an AED to an area nonprofit organization. The program is entirely funded by contributions received from Rush-Copley employees, patients and community members. Oswego Police Sgt. Brian Nehring submitted an application for consideration and the police department was chosen as this quarter’s recipient. Maryll Moon, development officer for the Rush-Copley Foundation staff, delivered the new AED on Dec. 15 and Sgt. Nehring accepted it on behalf of the Oswego Police Department. Oswego police officers carry AEDs in their vehicles in case of medical emergencies such as cardiac arrests, as very often police are the first to respond to such a call. For someone experiencing sudden cardiac arrest, an AED delivering a shock within the first three to five minutes after that person’s heart stops can increase a that person’s chance of survival 50 to 70 percent. The survival rate improves to close to 90 percent if an AED is used within the first minute. FVHF was organized in 2004 with the mission of promoting cardiovascular health while reducing gender and economic disparity. FVHF helps both men and women from every racial, ethnic and socio-economic background recognize their personal heart health risk and overcome the unique challenges and barriers they face to living healthier lives.

Public invited to celebrate Christmas at New Life Photo provided
Students in Salem Lutheran Church’s Sunday School recently presented their annual Advent/ Christmas program for the congregation. This year they told the story of our Savior’s birth with the help of their eight-foot-tall Advent Calendar. One by one, the doors were opened to reveal another piece of the story. This program was written by Salem member, Sharon Adkins. Salem Lutheran Sunday School meets weekly on Sunday mornings at 10:15 a.m. Regular classes will resume on Jan. 8. All children ages 3 years or older are welcome.
Christmas Is Here “The Son is the image of the invisible God, the ďŹ rstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.â€? —Colossians 1: 15-17 NIV

here is a natural tendency to believe that Christmas comes but once a year. This misconception is based on the calendar, which gives it only one day of the year. Some of us do a bit better by celebrating the season of Christmas, perhaps treating everything from roughly Thanksgiving to the New Year as being part of the Christmas season. But we should remember that Christmas is really a celebration of God’s incarnation. God literally came to be with us here on earth, and that is something that can and should be celebrated all year long. And while it is noteworthy that God came to earth in very humble form, a helpless baby born in a manger, focusing on Jesus’s birth misses the wider context of the incarnation. God’s physicality as a human being highlights the divine aspect of human nature (we all have the spirit of God within us), but understanding Jesus as the second person of God also raises the stature of the natural world. The physical world is imbued with divine importance by God’s incarnation, and we should consider that this entire world is a gift from God. Perhaps that is the true meaning of Christmas! – Christopher Simon
It’s Christmas at New Life. Services are planned Christmas Eve at 3, 4 and 5 p.m. Invite friends and family so everyone can hear that they are a child of God, adopted through the grace of Christ. Then come back Christmas morning at 10:30 a.m. (one service only) and celebrate
the joy that Jesus brings. For more information about our Christmas Eve and Day worship services and other events at New Life Church, visit nlcyorkville. org or call 630-553-0200. New Life Church is located at 3205 Cannonball Trail in Yorkville.
Kumla dinner will raise funds for food pantry

The proceeds will support the HLC Food Pantry, which has grown from serving 10 families to 120, twice a month, in its nine years of operation. The dinner will include ham, Kumla (like a dumpling), applesauce, dessert and beverage. A baked potato can be substituted for Kumla. Carry-outs will be available. It is a free-will donation dinner. The church is located at 11935 Lisbon Road, in rural Newark. For information, call 815-695-5489.

The 2017 Illinois First Detector Workshop on invasive plants, diseases and insects will be offered in 2017 at eight Illinois sites, including Lisle. Now in its fifth year, the workshop is being offered through University of Illinois Extension and coordinated in conjunction with the Illinois Natural History Survey’s Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey (CAPS), the Illinois Department of Agriculture, and the Morton Arboretum. The one-day course teaches participants how to report potential invasive threats. Topics this year include invasive plants and human health, oak tree diseases, and emerging invasive forest insects. The program focuses on current and new invasive pests, but also provides updates on previously covered topics, according to Kelly Estes, CAPS coordinator. The popular hands-on portion of the workshop allows participants to examine invasive species samples in detail and learn identification techniques that will help them to distinguish these invasive pests in the field. Workshop participants take the knowledge they acquire to their own communities. “This program increases the eyes and ears in the field,” Estes said. “The threat of invasive species is large, and we can’t get to every corner of the state. Having many people take an interest in learning more about invasive species and how to report them is fantastic.” In four years, 900 people have taken the workshop, and an estimated 108,000

Seafood stew is perfect for Christmas Eve ‘fish fast’ By ARI LeVAUX More Content Now The Feast of Seven Fishes is a popular Italian-American way of celebrating Christmas Eve. It isn’t entirely clear how the number seven was arrived upon, or what it means. Many families celebrate with more or fewer fishes, and originally it was likely to have been just one. The tradition’s origins are in La Vigilia, or The Vigil, a southern Italian fasting day that was observed on Christmas Eve as they awaited the midnight birth of baby Jesus. The celebrants couldn’t eat meat because they were fasting, which at the time meant they couldn’t eat mammal meat. So they often ate baccalà, or salted cod, a peasant dish that was a nod to the region’s humble roots. Feast of Seven Fishes, in other words, is a fancy way of saying “fish for dinner” on Christmas Eve. Today, typical fish dishes for the event include cod cakes, oyster shooters, clam linguini, fried calamari and stuffed lobster. Some chefs venture further from traditional Italian-Amer-

I shoot for seven fishes, including shellfishes. Start with a mix of olive oil and butter, on medium heat. I add my frozen flaky fish and let it gently sizzle, hopefully forming a light crust that might hold the fish together later on. Might.

DOWN THE GARDEN PATH Richard Hentschel there will be no chance of anything going wrong. Flour products are not the only way pantry pests can make it into your home. Did you buy a dried flower arrangement or make one that contained flower seed heads from your own flower beds? Other potential sources include any of our dry pet foods that contain flour as an ingredient. Buy just enough to last a month to prevent the time needed for any pantry pests to show up. One of our favorite winter pastimes is to feed and watch the birds. If you do buy birdseed in large amounts, be sure to store it in an unheated area, like the garage, and in a tight-sealing container, just as you should the flour in the pantry. The same goes for the food for other four-legged pets like gerbils, mice and rabbits. In a future column, I will be covering what to do if you discover you have pantry pests. In the meantime, do all you can to prevent them from getting established in your cupboards and pantries.

This week’s column is all about some unwanted indoor insects, but not your usual Box Elder bugs and spiders that made their way indoors this past fall. Homemakers are in full swing baking our favorite cookies and other holiday treats. With that baking comes the potential for all those pesky pantry pests. Leftover baking goods are usually the culprit, especially any flour or flour-based cooking and baking products. This is a bit more problematic for homes where baking starts before the holidays and quits quickly afterwards. There may be a variety of insects that show up, but in general, we lump them together as pantry pests. In nearly all cases, the adult insect flies while the larvae are wormlike. The more common ones are the Indian Meal Moth and the two versions of Flour Grain Beetles. While they have slightly different life cycles, generally eggs hatch in any kind of product that contains flour where the larvae stage feeds until it is time to transform into an adult. The key to preventing these pantry pests is not to have any leftover flour that is going to get worked to the back of the shelf in the cupboards and pantries. It is better to use it up in cooking and baking than attempt to store it. If the flour is to be kept, store it in a very tight-sealing plastic container or keep it in the refrigerator, or even better, the freezer. If you do find some of that stored flour to be contaminated in your pantry, then it is a matter of disposing of just one container. Storing flour in the refrigerator dramatically slows the potential of contaminated product and if left in a freezer to zero or below,

How much weight can a bridge hold? Find out when teams test their balsa wood creations at Jan. 7 event in Plano SHAW MEDIA Join the excitement as more than 30 local teams compete in the fifth annual Bridge Bust on Saturday, Jan. 7, in Plano. Watch as weight is slowly added to each balsa wood bridge to see how much it can hold before it busts. Teams of 4-H members and community residents from DuPage, Kane and Kendall counties have been designing and building their bridges since late November. Each bridge entry will be judged on aesthetics and structural efficiency in various categories, including school, family and youth. “More than 150 people attended last year’s Bridge Bust, and we invite everyone to join us for our fifth annual competition,” said Jo Ann Britton, 4-H and Youth Development program coordinator with University of Illinois Extension. “Come out and support the teams, and learn more about 4-H, engineering and math, in an exciting way.” Spectators can participate in hands-on 4-H STEM activities,
watch 4-H STEM demonstrations, see award-winning 4-H projects, hear from an industry professional, and witness the structural efficiency testing to see which bridge design comes out on top. In addition, a new team choice was added this year to give younger students, ages 5 to 9, the opportunity to practice engineering and design skills without competition. These groups also will have the option to conference with judges and/or break their bridge in an exposition category. This annual Bridge Bust challenge is sponsored by University of Illinois Extension and 4-H, with cooperation from Rural King and the Fox Valley Family YMCA. The competition will be conducted at the Fox Valley Family YMCA, 3875 Eldamain Road in Plano. Teams will check in at 8 a.m., and aesthetics judging will begin about 9 a.m. Bridges will be tested for structural efficiency beginning around 10:30 a.m., tentatively. Learn more at go.illinois.edu/ bridgebust4hdkk.

Keep traditional holiday treats, but update recipes SHAW MEDIA Many Americans cherish memories of baking holiday desserts with their families. The time spent with loved ones preparing and sharing treats is an important tradition. However, sometimes you can update the ingredients for a healthier, and still festive, product. “Who can resist grandma’s apple pie or those classic Christmas cookies that we look forward to?” said University of Illinois Extension Educator Jessica Gadomski, a registered dietitian for SNAP-Education. “You don’t need to modify every single family recipe or cut them out completely. Instead, enjoy smaller servings, or revise one or two recipes.” Studies show the average American gains one to two pounds over the holiday season. “That may not seem like much, but consider that increase each year over time. It adds up and can affect your quality of life in many ways,” said Gadomski. “The holidays actually provide adults an opportunity to model moderation with sweets, and also to show children that some holiday treats can be nutritious and delicious, all while having fun.” Gadomski has put together an updated take on a true holiday classic. “One of the newer traditions my family has begun is modifying the traditional gingerbread cookies and houses with Whole-Grain Rich Graham Crackers, topped with a Greek yogurt-based frosting and topped off with fruit. We still have all the fun of bak-

For full recipe details, visit go.illinois. edu/healthierholidaytreat. Gadomski offers these other tips for making small decisions with big health impact this celebration
season: • Remember MyPlate and fill half your party plate with fruits and vegetables, and pay attention to portions of richer foods to avoid over-indulging. • Savor the food, as well as friends and family. Take time to enjoy each bite and each conversation. Slowing down the meal will allow your food to digest and your body to register that you are satiated. • Beverage calories add up fast! Choose water, fat-free or low-fat milk, and unsweetened coffee or tea before, during and after holiday meals. If you do choose a high-calorie beverage, consider balancing it by skipping dessert. • Keep moving this season. Start a new tradition of a walk around the neighborhood to look at the festive lights, or maybe play an indoor group party game or dance to some carols. “You can make smart choices and stay active this holiday season while enjoying quality time with family and friends,” said Gadomski. “Blending new and old holiday traditions can help everyone stay healthier while still making memories.” The healthy choice isn’t always the easy choice, especially on a limited budget. The Illinois Nutrition Education Programs and SNAP-Education provide practical tips to help low-income families prepare safe and healthy meals, while staying active each day.
