Local Goodwill receives a bit of the same on Christmas Eve By KELLI MURRAY kmurray@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – A little holiday cheer arrived at the Downers Grove Goodwill store and donation center on Christmas Eve when an anonymous donor paid a visit just before closing time. According to store manager Keith Schultz, a man with his wife and two children came to the store and wanted to pay for customers’ purchases. “He paid for five customers’ purchases,” Schultz said. “One

purchases, but the donor was not quite finished with his generosity. “He wanted to show his appreciation for the work our staff does for the community,” Schultz said. The donor, who wished to remain anonymous, shook the hands of all seven staff members working that night and handed them each $50. “We were all in shock,” said William Kribs, an employee working that night. As a nonprofit company, staff do not accept tips as a

company policy, Schultz said, but to keep the holiday spirit of giving continuing into the new year, a pizza party will be thrown in early January for all 42 employees with the money that was initially given to staff, Schultz said. “The staff know the rules and we didn’t want to upset the donor,” Schultz said. “The man’s intention was for all employees to benefit, and this is the best way for everyone to enjoy his generosity. His intentions are definitely being respected.”

Run by the St. Vincent de Paul Society, a Catholic lay organization to help community members, the food pantry serves about 38 families every week. The food is donated primarily by St. Mary’s parishioners, with some food items bought from Northern Illinois Food Bank. Dry food items, fresh produce and meat are available for food pantry customers. Food donations are accepted during the pantry’s business hours. St. Vincent de Paul will also help pantry customers with financial assistance for housing, and organizes clothing drives in the spring and fall. Both organizations are run by volunteers, but the community at large is responsible for a majority of the items that fill the shelves and clothing racks at both pantries. “Every school in Downers donated to us this year which was great,” Anderson said.

DOWNERS GROVE – The holiday season tends to bring out the best in people, bringing goodwill in the form of monetary, food and clothing donations to organizations that help those less fortunate. Local food pantries keep the generosity going year-round with help from local grocery store donations as well as private parties. “Sometimes, we are busier than other times,” said Ruth Anderson, coordinator of the Downers Grove Area FISH Food Pantry for the past 42 years. “At the end of the year, we see more people come through.” While the health of the economy continues to make headlines, Anderson said pantry clientele numbers have been pretty steady this year compared to last year. “We serve close to 150 families a month,” Anderson said. The FISH pantry maintains its food pantry and clothes closet in the basement of the Downers Grove Township building, 4340 Prince St. Residents of Downers Grove, Lisle and Westmont have access to the food pantry and clothes closet, while Woodridge residents may come for clothing only. “We take their word they need us,” Anderson said. “They need to show proof of ID and a current utility bill to show they live in the area.” Dry goods such as cereal, peanut butter and canned foods are always needed but so are paper products such as toilet paper and toothpaste that cannot be bought with food stamps, she said. Fresh produce and meat also are avail-

START THE NEW YEAR RIGHT The start of a New Year is an exciting time. You’re probably busting with determination to make a fresh start on at least a couple of fronts. At the top of your list should be the easily accomplished resolution to make an appointment with your dentist for a thorough checkup. Most dentists recommend twice-yearly dental visits for cleaning and examination. January and July offer two easily remembered milestones to mark in your calendar right now. By visiting your dentist every six months, any problem that may develop won’t have more than six months to advance and will be easier– and less costly– to address. During a cleaning, either your dentist or a hygienist will scrape any accumulated plaque and tarter off your teeth. By keeping your gumline clear of this buildup, you greatly reduce the likelihood of developing periodontal disease (the technical name for gum disease), which is the leading cause of tooth loss. In addition, your teeth and mouth will feel clean and fresh when the process is completed. Keep in mind that your oral health is an important component of your overall health. On that note, this is also a good time to make an appointment with your general physician for a checkup. Talk with your dentist about establishing a dental care schedule.

The bill was inspired by Morrison’s nephew, Tony Borcia, a 10-year-old from Libertyville who died after a crash along the Chain O’ Lakes in 2012. Borcia fell off an inner tube being pulled by a boat on Petite Lake and died after being struck by another boat. The flag is meant to alert nearby boaters that a person is being towed.

Another measure allows parents to be charged with a crime if their child is caught drinking alcohol inside cars, private planes, motor homes, campers and boats.

Drivers on tollways in the western suburbs could reach their destination a little faster in 2015. And, for the first time, if a boater along the Cal-Sag Channel or Fox River operates under the influence, the boat can be impounded. Likewise, if underage kids are caught drinking inside cars, motor homes, campers and private planes, their parents now can be charged with a crime. As Illinois residents begin a new year, they face 220 new laws that took effect Jan. 1, approved by lawmakers and Gov. Pat Quinn. The highlights cover various issues, from transportation to wild animals.

under the Illinois Tollway Authority’s control. However, it could be a while before 70 mph speed limit signs start popping up along Interstate 88, 294 or 355. The tollway authority still needs to conduct traffic studies to determine if a speed limit increase is warranted. Then it would require approval from the tollway’s board of directors, the Illinois Department of Transportation and the Joint Commission on Administrative Rules before taking effect. Another bill now prohibits police from taking a person’s driver’s license as bond after pulling them over for minor traffic violations such as speeding. Illinois was one of six states that allowed police to confiscate licenses for minor traffic violations, according to Illinois Senate Republicans.

Functional Effect Fitness and Rehabilitation

The husband and wife team Tyler Reynolds and Sarah Fischer-Reynolds hosted a grand opening Dec. 9, 2014, for Functional Effect Fitness and Reha-

bilitation, 2474 Wisconsin Ave., offering nutrition counseling, chiropractic care and fitness. “Having a personalized program allows our clients to get what they need out their membership,” said Fischer-Reynolds, who is a fitness coach and nutrition counselor. Before any program begins, however, an individual fitness assessment is conducted that includes a health history, past injury details, goals, range of motion and flexibility screening. “If you are not assessing, you are guessing,” Fischer-Reynolds said. She said the assessment is critical to clients in order to find the training program that will help the client reach their personal goals safely and effectively. Whether a client desires weight loss or functional fitness, the assessment will guide the program. “I always want clients to know that their best interest is my first interest,” Fischer-Reynolds said.

The following are some of our current projects and activities: Stormwater information meetings: At the Westmont Village Board Meeting on Thursday, the board is expected to make COMMUNITY important decisions regarding VOICE the future of our stormwater Ron management program in WestGunter mont.

Please contact us directly at communications@ westmont.il.gov or 630-981-6245 if you have additional questions. So you want to be a blockhead? We are seeking community leaders who are interested in stepping forward and assisting with communication and more within their neighborhoods.

If you think you might be interested in learning more or being a part of the Blockhead Program, please let us know through our online sign-up form on our website at westmont.illinois.gov. Budget workshops: The village is well underway with our budget process. The new village budget will be approved this spring and will run from May 1, 2015, to April 30, 2016. During the next few months, we will have several budget workshops that will be open to the public. We invite everyone to get involved and participate. Coffee with the Mayor: We’re working on our upcoming Coffee with the Mayor events. We invite citizens to come out and join us in our discussion as we work together to make our community great. These events also provide a great opportunity to promote and support our local businesses. Look for our winter & spring schedule to be announced soon. Working together, we can accomplish great things! A team approach is fundamental to our success. I encourage our entire community to step forward and be part of the team. Please contact me at rgunter@westmont.il.gov or 630-981-6201.

No more fireworks at midnight New Year’s Day

This is in regards to New Year’s [Eve and Day] celebrations. I would like to address all these people who feel the need to bring their neighbors into their celebrations by letting off fireworks at midnight. It’s very disturbing. It’s very unnecessary. And if you want to celebrate, celebrate on your own. But don’t involve all your neighbors.

Property taxes down, water and rubbish rates up It is great that Elmhurst is lowering our property taxes a little this year, but they are raising our water and rubbish rates. Talk about giving with one hand and taking away with the other!

DOWNERS GROVE – The hum of sewing machines doesn’t mask the laughter of a group of sewers as they work in concert to create colorful pillowcases for cancer patients. Founded in Pennsylvania in 2002 by Cindy Kerr who made pillowcases for her hospitalized son, ConKerr Cancer is now in 120 cities nationwide, Downers Grove included. Friendly Stitches Sew & Vac on 63rd Street has been hosting ConKerr Cancer on the third Tuesday of the month for more than a year, according to Ellyn Nicodem, co-owner of the sewing shop. Her business partner is pastor Jon Hoekema. “I love it,” Nicodem said. “It’s a lot of what we are. We are both Christians and felt it was important to do a little of God’s work.

Continued from page 13 a customer of Friendly Stitches when she read about the sewing opportunity in a newsletter Nicodem sent to customers. “It sounded like something I could actually do,” Fedor said. “Being retired, I don’t have the money to give to all the charities, but I can give my time.” Jan Haine, 77, of Aurora, deftly ran the fabric beneath the sewing needle as she spoke about her 10 years of volunteer work with ConKerr Cancer. “It’s going to a useful place and it’s one thing I can do with my talent to pay back to society for a good cause,” she said. Lee said she has worked

with Girl Scout groups and nursing homes, in addition to many quilt and sew shops. There are drop off locations throughout the area for sewers to drop off finished pillowcases, including: • Friendly Stitches Sew and Vac, 2135 W. 63rd St., Downers Grove • QuiltFabric.com, 818 Ogden Ave., Westmont • Quilter’s Quest, 7440 Woodward Ave., Woodridge Lee said all that is needed is the desire to sew, a sewing machine and thread, and there are activities in a sewing clinic that require little to no skill including ironing, folding and pinning the fabric. “If you can sew a straight line you can do this,” Lee said.

Trojans take title at Romeoville Christmas Classic By ALEX SOULIER asoulier@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – A late game-winning shot from fouryear Downers Grove North center David Edwards helped the Trojans clinch the Romeoville Christmas Classic on Dec. 30. Edwards, who made his season debut in the tournament opener after missing the first month of the season while rehabbing an injury, converted a tie-breaking layup with three second left in the championship game against Oak Forest, sealing a 51-49 DGN victory. “The stat sheet doesn’t reflect the presence he has in the low post and the confidence he gives his teammates,” Downers Grove North head coach Jim Thomas said of the 6-foot-7 senior who finished with five points. With the game knotted at 49 and less than 30 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Trojans guard Jordon Kedrowski charged into the offensive zone where he was met by a swarm of Oak Forest defenders. Instead of swinging the ball around the perimeter, Kedrowski knifed through defense and into the key, feeding a wide open Edwards, who then sunk an uncontested layup. “You have your all-tournament guys and your MVP, but that play doesn’t develop without Jordan [Kedrowski],” Thomas said. “I thought he

Downers Grove North’s Devin Blake goes up for a shot Dec. 30 during a holiday tournament game against Oak Forest. The Trojans won 51-49 to clinch the Romeoville Christmas Classic championship. showed a lot of maturity in crunch time and made an unbelievable play to breakdown their defense and get Edwards the ball.” Kedrowski also was a catalyst in the first half, manning a Trojans offense that hit four 3-pointers and outscored Oak Forest 21-10 in the opening quarter. Tournament MVP Devin Blake had the hot hand early, scoring 14 of his teamhigh 15 points in the first half

as North led 33-24 at halftime. “I thought the whole team came ready to play tonight; our offense was in a nice groove in the first half,” Blake said. “But credit Oak Forest, they battled back and made it a game in the fourth quarter.” A Kedrowski 3 to open the fourth quarter pushed the Downers Grove North advantage to 10 points, but Oak Forest wouldn’t go away, cutting the lead to six with two minutes re-

maining before tying the game in the final 30 seconds. The Trojans advanced to the championship of the Romeoville Christmas Classic after victories against Argo, Plainfield Central and Reavis. Blake led the boys with 16 points in a 64-48 victory against Argo on Dec. 26, while Kedrowski and Myles Farley chipped in with 12 each. The Trojans then cruised to a 67-46 win against Plainfield on Dec.

27 behind 18 points from forward Matt Mahlke. The 6-foot-6 Mahlke also paced the Trojans offense with 16 points during a 61-42 victory against Reavis in the semifinals. Mahlke and Blake were both named to the Romeoville Christmas Classic all tournament team while Blake earned tournament MVP honors. The four straight wins is a season high for Downers Grove North, which will resume play at York on Friday after a nine-day break. “This is an exciting win, but we have to use this to propel us into the new year and do a better job taking care of business in the West Suburban Silver conference,” Thomas said.

one; it’s a really great honor.

Soulier: You scored 14 of your 15 points in the first half. What was the key to your hot start?

Blake: I felt really focused tonight. I had a chance to do some extra shooting before the game and really find my shot. I just wanted to help my team in any way possible tonight and I was able to get some open looks and knock down some shots in the first half.

Soulier: Do you think this is a turning point for your team? Blake: I think so. Getting Dave Edwards back [from an injury] gives us a good inside presence. Hopefully this is when we turn the season around and continue this run in the second half of the season.
