Nutcracker” in downtown storefront windows, took tours at Lombard Historical Society’s Victorian Cottage Museum and stopped by the Helen M. Plum Memorial Library to watch a performance by the Glenbard East High School Madrigal Singers. Lilacia Park lights and music will continue to run daily from 4:30 to 9:30 p.m. through Jan. 4.

She lost the governor’s race but quickly bounced back into Illinois politics when she won the comptroller’s seat in 2010. With that win, Topinka became the first woman in state history to be elected to two Constitutional offices, according to the comptroller website. Topinka attended Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism and graduated with a degree in 1966. She worked as a respected journalist for 11 years for area community newspapers, including the Berwyn Life. After learning of her death, many Illinois leaders issued statements or turned to social media to express their condolences. “Judy Baar Topinka was one of the warmest, honest people in Illinois government and we will miss her. It says a lot that she had such a long, storied career and was still so well liked by people across the state. My prayers go out to her entire family,” state Sen. Tom

Illinois State Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka died early Wednesday of complications from a stroke suffered on Tuesday, according to a news release from the comptroller’s office. Topinka was Judy 70 years old. Baar Topinka The Riverside resident served as state comptroller for four years, and she was re-elected in November for a second four-year term. Topinka went to MacNeal Hospital in Berwyn Tuesday morning after feeling discomfort, according to the release. She underwent testing for a possible stroke, and she was under observation Wednesday morning when she lost consciousness. She was pronounced dead shortly after 2 a.m. Topinka had a long and storied career as an Illinois politician. She served as state treasurer from 1995 to 2007 and became the first Illinois treasurer to serve three terms. She ran for governor in 2006 and became the state’s first female Republican nominee for the seat.
Cullerton, D-Villa Park, said in a statement. “I express my deepest sympathies to the family, friends and staff of Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka. For more than thirty years Judy honorably served our state as a State Representative, Senator, Treasurer and Comptroller. Judy’s courage and leadership helped pave the way for women in Illinois to serve in office. We honor her commitment to public service and our state,” U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., said in a statement. “Deeply saddened to hear about the loss of Judy Baar Topinka. When I served Judy’s hometown of Riverside in the Illinois House, I had the privilege to work with and develop a friendship with her. At an event just last week, she greeted me with a big hug (as she did with many of us who were fortunate to know her), and we shared excitement about being able to work together again. Sadly, we won’t have that chance, but she has left a tremendously positive impact on our State, Illinois politics, and just about anyone who ever met her. She will be missed. RIP, Judy,” state Sen. Chris Nybo, R-Elmhurst, said in a Facebook post.

LOMBARD – The average Lombard household will pay the village $3.11 more in taxes next year after the Lombard Village Board of Trustees approved a $8,765,381 tax levy Dec. 4 with a 4-2 vote. Although Finance Committee Chairman Peter Breen and Finance Committee member Laura Fitzpatrick opposed the tax increase, the rest of the board voted in favor of a 1.12-percent increase over last year’s levy. “We are fully able to fund that budget without an increase in the property tax levy this year,” Breen said at a Nov. 20 meeting when the levy was previously discussed.
The additional $97,467 levied beyond last year’s tax levy will be placed in village reserves for future needs. The board will need to approve use of the funds as projects arise. During the Nov. 20 meeting, some trustees suggested the funds could be used toward paying pension obligations or for city projects. The board also unanimously approved a $91,467,003 budget for 2015 during the Dec. 4 meeting. Other items related to village finances approved at the Dec. 4 meeting include:
Chicago has indicated the increase will be put toward infrastructure improvements to provide a more reliable and efficient system, including upgrading feeder mains that serve the suburbs. A portion of the increase will address Lombard’s growing operating costs and reserve requirements toward future system maintenance. The DuPage Water Commission also increased its operating and maintenance rate for supplying Chicago water to its other suburban customer communities, according to a village news reWater rate lease. A water rate increase imThe Fiscal Year 2015 water/ posed by the city of Chicago sewer rate increase is $0.50 or also led the board to approve 3.98 percent per 1,000 gallons. a slightly higher rate in Lombard, effective Jan. 1.

DERMATOLOGY UPDATE Presented by
Todd T. Davis, M.D. Board Certified Dermatologist
MEN LIVING ALONE FACE RISK It seems that marital and habitation status can affect a man’s risk of dying from melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer. According to recent research, single men of all ages face a higher fatality risk from melanoma than other patients partially because their cancer tends to be more advanced when they are diagnosed. Researchers also found that older women who lived alone often had more advanced melanoma at the time of diagnosis. However, their single status had no bearing on women’s melanoma survival rates. These findings clearly indicate the need to convince single men and older women to commit to more frequent comprehensive dermatological exams for earlier detection of melanoma.
Our practice is located at
103 N. Haven Rd., Suite 7, Elmhurst, IL Todd T. Davis, M.D. Board Certified Dermatologist P.S. In the absence of an observant spouse, partner, or friend, single individuals are less likely to spot signs of skin cancer on places of their bodies that are hidden from their view.
Dermatologists recommend being proactive about your skin health by having a regular full-body skin scan for benign and cancerous lesions. By examining your skin from head to toe, front to back, a dermatologist can analyze areas of skin that you cannot see and diagnose a variety

8 Battling BULIMIA: FINDING A PLACE FOR PASSION AND SELF-ESTEEM
By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com
BUILDING SELF-ESTEEM IS KEY TO RECOVERY AND POSSIBLE WITH THE RIGHT
Chicagoan Jennifer Burton, 30, describes her fashion consulting business as “somewhat like the What Not to Wear TV show, but with more compassion.” As she sorts through her clients’ closets, she culls and repurposes, suggests alterations and compiles a shopping list. “My goal is to help them feel good about themselves no matter what their size,” she says.
SUPPORT. As someone who struggled with an eating disorder throughout her teens and twenties, Burton knows the importance of self-acceptance. “From an early age, I felt pressure to look a certain way,” says Burton. “My mom was anorexic, so there were confusing messages about eating and body image.” Burton’s role as a competitive tennis player contributed to her confusion; her coaches cautioned her about gaining weight. As a young teen she began to severely restrict her diet, but that didn’t have the desired effect. She tried another approach after watching a movie about a girl with bulimia, an eating disorder that involves binge eating followed by purging — usually by vomiting or using laxatives. “Hiding my condition throughout high school was extremely draining,” recalls Burton. At college in Boston, Burton felt isolated and depressed, and her condition worsened. She spent four months in treatment for her eating disorder and related serious medical issues. When she returned to her parents’ home in Downers Grove, she struggled with the lack of structure and follow-up care. A month later, she went to Linden Oaks, a part of Edward-Elmhurst Healthcare, and began an intensive outpatient program for people with eating disorders. “I loved the program and the people,” says Burton. “I was able to build a healthy support system in this area.” She says that building self-esteem is also key to recovery. “Many women struggle with body image. Because I’m open about my struggles, they can relate to me,” she states. The Linden Oaks Eating Disorders Program, designated a Center of Excellence by The Joint Commission, offers four levels of care to help individuals recover from anorexia, bulimia and other eating disorders.

For many, the holiday season is the happiest time of year, filled with gifts and loved ones. But for those struggling to make ends meet, it can be among the most stressful.

The drive will end with the Toy Parade at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, beginning in down-

3. People’s Resource Center Where: 201 S. Naperville Road, Wheaton and 649 Blackhawk Drive, Westmont Info: peoplesrc.org or 630-6825402 Each year, the People’s Resource Center invites about 1,000 families to the DuPage County Fairgrounds to pick out warm clothes, books, toys and gift cards for the holidays.

4. DuPage Pads Where: 705 W. Liberty Drive, Wheaton Info: dupagepads.org or 630682-3846 DuPage Pads provides interim and permanent housing and support services to the homeless of DuPage County.

inter weather is here. That means digging out of snow, driving on hazardous roadways, battling the elements to get to the store. A trial stay at Lexington Square is an ideal way to enjoy the best parts of winter without all the hassles that come with the season. A trial stay is also a great way to be near family throughout the holidays but still have the freedom to retreat to a place that feels like home when you’re ready to call it a day. You can maintain privacy, preserve freedom and also have more time to enjoy being together instead of having to maintain your home during harsh weather conditions.

OUR VIEW
Topinka was devoted to public service in Illinois Before she was a politician, Judy Baar Topinka was an award-winning journalist. Topinka, 70, died early Wednesday, less than a day after she suffered a stroke. She was the first woman in Illinois to serve in two state constitutional offices. She had just won re-election in November as state comptroller. Topinka served the public as a journalist before devoting her life to public service as an elected official. She attended Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism and graduated with a degree in 1966. After graduation, she worked part time for the Berwyn, Cicero and Stickney-Forest View Life Newspapers before being hired full-time in 1971. In her journalism career, Topinka was a reporter, education editor, feature writer, feature editor and photographer. She won awards from the Illinois Women’s Press Association, the Illinois Press Association and the Illinois State Medical Society. Topinka, a Republican, morphed into one of the most outspoken politicians in Illinois and was a trailblazer for women in politics. “At an event just last week, she greeted me with a big hug … and we shared excitement about being able to work together again,” said State Sen. Chris Nybo, R-Elm-

As she reaches the podium to receive her Outstanding Medical Feature of 1971 award, Judy Baar Topinka is congratulated by Dr. Frank Jirka Jr., president of the Illinois State Medical Society. hurst. “Sadly, we won’t have that chance, but she has left a tremendously positive impact on our state, Illinois politics and just about anyone who ever met her.” Topinka, a lifelong Riverside resident, won election to the Illinois House in 1980. She moved to the state Senate in 1984. Ten years later, she was elected to the first of her three terms as state treasurer. In 2006, she unsuccessfully ran against Rod Blagojevich for Illinois governor. She returned to public office in 2010, when she was elected state comptroller. During her gubernatorial bid in 2006, Topinka described
Illinois as “a miraculously wonderful place to live.” But she also believed it was being hurt and abused by those in office, which is why she decided to run for governor. “If I don’t stop it, I’d be complicit in watching it go down the tubes, and I don’t want to do that,” Topinka said. In every stop along the way, Topinka had one thing in mind: Making Illinois a great place to live. Her style might have been considered unorthodox. Her personality might have been off-putting to some. But her dedication to Illinois and public service can’t be questioned.

The fellowship of family and friends and time-honored traditions all contribute to making Christmas special. However, the weeks leading up to Christmas can be very hectic, and its meaning can be lost. A wonderful way to draw us back to the true spirit of the season is giving. For those of you who are looking for a way to help COMMUNITY your fellow citizens who may VOICE not be as fortunate as yourJohn W. selves, York Township offers marvelous opportunities to Valle give. Last year over the holidays, we helped 283 families with 541 children through our “Christmas Adopt A Family” and “Toys For Tots” programs. These families received gifts and toys all donated by local organizations, churches, schools, businesses and families. If you would like to adopt a family for Christmas or donate toys for needy children, that is one way you can help. Another way to help is by supporting the York Township Food Pantry, which operates solely on private contributions and in-kind donations from individuals, corporations and organizations. Last year, our pantry served 2,897 families consisting of 8,923 men, women and children. In addition to food products for our pantry, there is an ongoing need for cleaning supplies and paper products. Cash donations are always welcomed and much appreciated. If you would like to contribute, you can drop off donations anytime during business hours or call 630-620-2400 for information. On behalf of York Township employees, volunteers and the folks who benefit from York Township programs and services, I want to thank all of you for your generous support during the holiday season and throughout the year. In closing, I would like to share with you two of my favorite quotes about Christmas: “Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.” (Calvin Coolidge, 30th president of the United States) “For this day is born to you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David. And this shall be a sign unto you. You shall find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes, and laid in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army, praising God, and saying: ‘Glory to God in the highest; and on earth peace to men of good will.’ ” (Luke 2:11-14) Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you and yours.

The newest member of the DuPage County Board was voted into office Tuesday as the board remembered the man she replaced. Karyn Romano, a Glen Ellyn resident who owns public affairs business Metro Strategies, officially took over for former board member JR McBride after a unanimous vote to in- Karyn stall her. Romano “I know [board member] Paul Fichtner said this morning I have big shoes to fill, and I do understand that’s a little bit of an understatement,” she said to the board after the vote. “I know JR was friends to all of you, so that makes me even more appreciative and thankful for all of you giving me this opportunity.” Romano was nominated by Chairman Dan Cronin to replace McBride, who died Oct. 24 after a long fight with cancer, and is set to serve out the remainder of McBride’s term, which ends Nov. 30, 2016. It is her first office, she said. The new board member said her experience in political consulting, particularly in the areas of legislation, economic development and transportation, would be her biggest assets to the board. She will immediately take a role in some of those areas, as she also was voted to join the board’s legislative and transit committees. Fellow District 4 representatives Grant Eckhoff and Amy Grant, who helped Cronin in his decision, had good things to say about the newest member. Both said her background as a small business owner would offer a different perspective than many others on the board. “It’s a good team for District 4,” Eckhoff said.

SOUND OFF
Where’s the outrage? To answer last week’s Sound Off about why it’s always white cops shooting black kids, it’s not. One hundred, twenty-three black people were shot by police last year in America; not all of the police were white. Three hundred, twenty-eight whites were shot. ... Almost 500 black civilians were shot by other black civilians last year in Chicago alone. Twenty thousand across America. Where’s the outrage? Where’s the media? Where’s Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Barack Obama? Don’t they care about the real epidemic hurting black life in America?
not white police officers.
Realign activism Hundreds of unarmed black teenagers are killed every year to the black-on-black crime, and yet we tend to focus on the few anomalies that fit the racism/ police brutality narrative. I truly believe realigning all of this activism toward reducing black-on-black crime would be much more helpful to the African-American community.
More on Ferguson, Mo. If [Michael] Brown had gotten the gun away from the officer, the officer’s the one who would be dead, and they probably wouldn’t have riots over a dead cop. Instead of showing the cute high school photo, why don’t they show how he looked threatening the store owner just before the confrontation with Officer Wilson? Brown was not shot because he was black. He was shot because he attacked a policeman.
state, welfare state means unemployment, resale shops and vacant properties. Ask Greece and Italy for proof. Westmont should change its slogan to the conservative, hard-working village and behave that way.
Consultants everywhere In Glen Ellyn, no matter which project is being examined or thought about, one thing that always remains the same is we have the consultant. Whether it’s full-day kindergarten, indoor swimming pool, whatever. Why did I do what I want to for a career? I should have been a consultant.

For the commentators about justice in Ferguson, Mo., why don’t you go talk to the store manager who was robbed … and see what he thinks about [Michael Brown]? ... As far as the riots, there are fires, there are people getting hurt, the stores are being destroyed and you think that that’s OK? I don’t understand that. You’re turning it into black versus white, and that’s not it at all. … On the grand jury, there were black and white people. And all of them found the officer not guilty as they should have.

Holiday Entertaining
Perfecting the holiday dinner party 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:
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.

The Season of Genorosity 5 ways to show your kids how to give back this holiday season and year round
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. They can fill a box with the items they no longer need requires to help prevent vitamin-A deficiency for one year. One quarter, one child. An and you can help them donate everything to an organization that will put easy contribution from your child's piggy bank or make a donation yourself to show your them to good use. children how together, the entire family can make a difference.

So give these ideas a try now and year round and see what good things your family - especially your children - can accomplish.

• 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.
Discover our feel-good gifts from around the world
• 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.

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.

5 simple steps for protecting your home during the holidays
W
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.

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.

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.

hough there is no official data that declares the best-selling holiday toy for children of all-time, it’s fair to assume the lovable “Sesame Street” 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 ‘N’ Talk Elmo was a popular children’s gift, as was Rock ‘N’ Roll Elmo (1999), Tickle Me Elmo Surprise (2001), Chicken Dance Elmo (2002), and SHOUT Elmo (2005). In 2006, Mattel®, 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.

• Those looking for another Christmas album to freshen up their collections can look to “Sings Christmas Carols” from Mark Koselek. The singer-songwriter and frontman for the band Sun Kil Moon lends his baritone and guitar chops to several classic Christmas carols, including “Oh Come All Ye Faithful” and “The First Noel.” • Seth MacFarlane may have Oscar and Grammy nominations to his name, but soon he will have a Christmas album to his credit as well. MacFarlane recorded “Holiday for Swing” during the holiday season last year. The release follows MacFarlane’s critically acclaimed musical debut, “Music Is Better Than Words.” The actor collaborates with Norah Jones, Sarah Bareilles and others on the tracks, which have a jazz-blues feel. In case you happened to miss the release of the variety of Christmas albums last year, choose among “I Wanna Go Surfin’ With Santa,” by the Hollyberries; “Horror Xmas,” from The Misfits; “Snow Globe,” by Erasure; or “On This Winter’s Night,” from Lady Antebellum.

raditions vary from family to family, but many families share a love of holiday songs and carols at this time of year. Many notable performers have lent their voices to timeless classics or created entirely new songs that have gone on to become perennial favorites. Every year new singers showcase their talents with Christmas releases, and 2014 is no different. Holiday albums available this year include country artists’ collaborations, a carol collection from a singer-songwriter and a surprise swing-jazz release from an actor and voiceover artist.

The controversial school funding bill that could have meant the loss of millions of state dollars to suburban school districts appears to be dead, according to a news release from state Sen. Chris Nybo, R-Elmhurst. The Illinois House of Representatives did not take a vote on Senate Bill 16 on Dec. 3, its final day of session this term. That means the bill will be dead unless outgoing Gov. Pat Quinn brings it up in a veto session before the new General Assembly begins its first session Jan. 14. The proposed bill would have restructured how funding was distributed around the state based on the neediness of the student populations in each district. Opponents of the bill said it would unfairly take from wealthier districts without boosting overall education funding. In the release, Nybo credited strong grassroots opposition of the bill by suburban residents as a reason the bill was defeated. “The outstanding efforts of local residents and education leaders stopped Senate Bill 16 in its tracks, which shows just how much can be accomplished when we work together,” he said in the release. “We must keep an eye on the issue of equality in education funding reform, however, because the components of the now-defunct Senate Bill 16 could easily re-emerge in another form once the new General Assembly convenes in January.” Nybo said a series of public forums this fall sent a clear message to state lawmakers that suburban residents are not willing to increase their already-high property taxes or compromise their children’s educational resources. Nybo, together with state Rep. Sandra Pihos, R-Glen Ellyn, partnered with local educators to host one of the community forums Nov. 17 that was attended by more than 100 local residents, according to the release. During a House of Representatives committee hearing about Senate Bill 16 in November, the online witness slips of opponents outnumbered proponents by six to one, the release stated.

Freddie Mac was established by Congress in 1970 to provide liquidity, stability and affordability to the nation’s residential mortgage markets. Freddie Mac supports communities across the nation by providing mortgage capital to lenders. Today Freddie Mac is making home possible for one in four homebuyers and is one of the largest sources of financing for multifamily housing. www.FreddieMac.com. Twitter: @FreddieMac

MCLEAN, VA--(Marketwired - Dec 8, 2014) - The majority of U.S. renters are struggling financially and plan to remain renters for the next three years, according to recent Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) survey data. However, the recent financial crisis did not tarnish renters’ dreams of homeownership with 91% of them viewing homeownership as something of which to be proud. “It’s no secret that for the last several years, consumers have felt more strapped financially, particularly renters,” said David Brickman, executive vice president of Freddie Mac Multifamily. “Many renters are not buying homes because of a perceived lack of ability to afford the down payment or mortgage and poor credit history. But there also is a segment of renters who simply do not want the responsibilities of owning a home.” Freddie Mac commissioned Harris Poll to survey more than 2,000 U.S. adults online in August 2014 to get their perceptions about renting in the post financial crisis marketplace. A presentation on the research results is available here. Highlights The majority of renters say they tend to live paycheck to paycheck. 45% of renters say they have just enough money to get by, and 17% say they do not have enough money for basics, like food and housing until the next payday. In comparison, only 38% of homeowners indicate a similar financial hardship. 61% of renters believe they will continue to rent in the next three years, despite 91% of them viewing homeownership as something of which to be proud. While 39% of all renters say they expect to purchase a home in the next three years, the remainder plan to continue to rent. Those most likely to buy a home in the next three years are from ages 25-44. Younger adults are more inclined toward buying a home than older ones. For example, 47% of renters aged 25-34 and 58% of renters aged 35-44 responded that they will purchase a home in three years, compared to 27% for people age 45-64. In addition, if a renter hasn’t owned a home by age 45, then chances are they will continue to rent throughout their lifetime. According to renters, the top three favorable factors about renting are: Provides freedom from home maintenance responsibilities (78% strongly or somewhat agreed); Allows more flexibility over where you live (68% strongly or somewhat agreed); and Protects against home price declines (66% strongly or somewhat agreed). According to renters, the top three favorable factors about homeownership are: Something of which to be proud (91% strongly or somewhat agreed); Can be passed on to your children (90% strongly or somewhat agreed); and Allows more flexibility to design it the way you want (89% strongly or somewhat agreed). Freddie Mac intends to do this type of research quarterly to learn about renters’ preferences towards the housing choices available to them, the constraints preventing them from obtaining housing that they think would better suit their needs, and the drivers for their decisions. Freddie Mac also is rolling out a new online Rent vs. Buy calculator to help individuals compare the cost of renting or owning a home.

Mortgage insurance:
insurer will take a number of factors into account, including the amount of the loan, the loan-to-value ratio, your credit score, and your intended use of the home (as a primary residence, investment, etc). Generally, you can expect to pay $30 to $70 monthly for every $100,000 that you borrow. This amount will be included as part of your regular mortgage payment. As of 2007, mortgage insurance premiums, as well as actual mortgage payments, are tax deductible.
By Laura Firszt Networx
O
wning your own home used to require a substantial down payment: at least 20 percent. These days, you can obtain a home loan even if you have less than that amount in hand. However, your lender is likely to demand that you purchase mortgage insurance. This is his (or her) guarantee that the mortgage will still be taken care of, in the event that you are not able to make the payments. Here's how mortgage insurance works.
What is mortgage insurance? Mortgage insurance is often called private mortgage insurance or lender's mortgage insurance to distinguish it from mortgage life insurance, which is initiated by the homebuyer. PMI is a policy required by the lender when you wish to buy a new, resale, or custombuilt home with a smaller-than-usual down payment — less than 20 percent of the home's selling price or its appraised value. This type of insurance will protect the lending institution in case of default. PMI is not applicable to home loans guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, or the Veterans Administration, which have their own form of mortgage insurance.
BIGSTOCK
Are you obligated to take out private mortgage insurance? What is the advantage to you? In contrast to the traditional 20 percent down payment, these days some lenders are ofering home loans to potential purchasers with as little as 5 percent down. This makes it easier for you to qualify for a mortgage and to purchase a home earlier than you would otherwise be able to. However, you will have the expense of monthly PMI premiums, in addition to your mortgage payments.
If you have less than 20 percent cash to put down on the purchase of your home and you do not qualify for an FHA, HUD or VA mortgage, the answer is yes, your mortgage lender will most likely obligate you to take out PMI.
When will you stop paying mortgage insurance?
How much will you pay?
When you close on your home loan, the lending institution representative is required to inform you as to the date when your LTV will decrease to 80 percent — presuming, of course, that you make timely payments. According to the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998, you may request cancellation of the private mortgage insurance at this point, subject to certain conditions. However, termination of mortgage insurance is not legally required until the LTV has been reduced to 78 percent. In either case, you must be up to date on your mortgage payments in order to qualify.
Your PMI premium will vary depending on your specific circumstances. The
Laura Firszt writes for networx.com.
How is LTV calculated? LTV stands for loan-to-value ratio. It is calculated as a percentage, according to this formula: 100 percent minus the percentage of your down payment equals LTV. So if you make a down payment of 15 percent, your LTV will equal 100 minus 15, or 85 percent.

Glenbard East excels in conference debut By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com LOMBARD – As far as making a good first impression, Glenbard East’s boys basketball team made a strong one in the Upstate Eight Valley. The Rams debuted in the conference with two wins to show they will be a contender as newcomers. East won the conference opener 61-57 at South Elgin on Dec. 5 and followed up with a 57-47 win against Bartlett a day later in Lombard. “It was a very good weekend,” coach Scott Miller said. “[Against] South Elgin we were up and we really hadn’t been in those situations before with our young guys so we sort of hung on. Coming back Saturday, we got down early and came back. We held our composure and took over.” East led by as many as 14 points at South Elgin and led by 12 entering the fourth quarter, but the Storm got within two in the final minute. Mike Finley scored 20 points to lead the Rams and Bryce Roberts scored 12 points. In the Bartlett game the Rams trailed 22-11 at one point, but recovered to take the lead late and pull away down the stretch. Patrick Peterkin hit some big buckets to cut into the lead and finished with a game-high 16 points. Both games showed the evolution of a maturing team that no longer can use youth as an excuse like last year. “I think we can sustain the course of a game much better,” Miller said. “I think when you’re really young and when

bad things happen during the course of a game you let that take over and affect the entire game. When you get older you realize games ebb and flow a bit and you have to take the good with the bad.” Miller complimented the play of his backcourt, point guard Terrance Lakes and shooting guard Jack Grigat, as stabilizing forces on the team. Lakes missed the Thanksgiving tournament and made his season debut at South Elgin. “Terrance Lakes, our point guard, has been solid,” Miller said. “His first two games were last weekend and he gives us a real steady influence.” The Rams continued UEC Valley play Thursday against West Aurora, which also came over from the DuPage Valley Conference this season.
