School funding bill Senate Bill 16 dies in House SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA 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 Rep. Ron Sandack, R-Downers Grove. The Illinois House of Representatives on Wednesday did not take a vote on Senate Bill 16 on 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. “This is a huge success for
the suburban taxpayers who would have been fleeced by the provisions of SB16,” Sandack said. Opponents of the bill said it would unfairly take from wealthier districts without boosting overall education funding. Sandack said in his district, his schools would lose close to $20 million per year. Wheaton’s Community Unit School District would
have lost $9.8 million, the fifth-largest reduction in the state, according to numbers provided by the district. Glenbard High School District 87 said it expected to lose $5.4 million. Downers Grove District 99 said it would have been out about $3 million. Total loss for DuPage County schools would have been $140 million, according to the release.

The Lisle Woodridge Fire District is reminding residents to avoid fire hazards this holiday season. In a news release, the district offered fire safety tips for the winter months, which are “the leading months for home fires and home fire deaths in the U.S.” On average, more than onethird of U.S. home fire deaths occur during the winter months, according to the district. The following tips were offered: • Have your chimney or wood stove inspected and cleaned annually by a certified chimney specialist. • Clear the area around the hearth of debris, decorations and flammable materials. • Always use a metal mesh screen with fireplaces. Leave glass doors open while burning a fire.
• Keep air inlets on wood stoves open, and never restrict air supply to fireplaces. • Use fire-resistant materials on walls around wood stoves. • Never use flammable liquids to start a fire. • Use only seasoned hardwood. Soft, moist wood accelerates creosote buildup. • Build small fires that burn completely and produce less smoke. • Never burn cardboard boxes, trash or debris in your fireplace or wood stove. • Never leave a fire in the fireplace unattended. Extinguish the fire before going to bed or leaving the house. • Stack firewood at least 30 feet away from your home. • Cover the chimney with a mesh screen spark arrester. • Remove branches hanging above the chimney, flues or vents. • Install smoke alarms on every level of your home.

Sheriff’s office cleared in gender discrimination suit
The DuPage County Sheriff’s Office has been cleared of allegations of gender discrimination against a former employee, according to a news release from the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office. A jury found the office not guilty Thursday, the release stated. Former deputy sheriff Susan Kuttner said the alleged discrimination was the result of job conditions at the DuPage County Jail. Kuttner said she was wrongfully terminated from her position Oct. 7, 2009, after 11 years of service, according to the release. The sheriff’s merit commission dismissed Kuttner after determining she violated the office’s regulations and directives, the release stated. She filed the discrimination suit in 2010, also claiming a breach of contract regarding sick-day benefits and adoption assistance benefits, though those claims were dismissed before the four-day trial in federal court, as were the wrongful termination claims.

Dinner can be tough; Bridge Communities offers food for thought Do you stare into your refrigerator, wondering what to make for dinner? Do you have a hard time finding nutritious foods that your kids will actually eat? Have you found it difficult to find foods that are both healthy and budget-friendly? These are issues all families face and Bridge Communities’ families are no different. Throughout a family’s COMMUNITY time with Bridge, they learn VOICE a number of life skills; now, Lisa how to cook healthy meals for the family has been added Doyle to the list. Bridge hosts healthy eating workshops at least twice a year at Knox Presbyterian Church in Naperville, led by volunteer Suzanne Thibeault and Bridge’s community outreach coordinator, Vicky Joseph. The classes are made available by sponsorships from J.R. Albert, Families Helping Families, PhilCon and Whole Foods. More than 40 parents and children attend each session and benefit from the recipe demonstrations, tips and tastings. At our most recent class, Bridge families learned how to make cauli-rice and zucchini noodles, or “zoodles.” Registered dietitian Toni Havala also spoke to the class about weight management and met one on one with clients to help them set personal goals. Teens attend the classes with their parents while kids ages 6 to 12 attend their own Let’s Move! class, teaching about healthy food and exercise. Child care is even provided on site for kids ages 5 and younger. Parents also are taught different tactics for how to introduce unfamiliar foods to young kids. After the most recent workshop this fall, one attendee, Nydia, wrote us to say “I just wanted to share a new food we tried and liked. My oldest daughter ate it, too! She’s my cautious eater. It is spaghetti squash, onions, kale, spinach and Parmesan cheese. I also added zucchini because I had a little bit in the fridge.” Another client, Maureen, attended the workshop in April and used her newfound knowledge while interviewing for a job at a grocery store. She was immediately hired to work in the produce department, and her daughter was hired for a summer job in the bakery, too! Seeing the long-lasting effects of Bridge’s healthy eating workshops is the ultimate reward.

People’s Resource volunteer Sue Keenan of Glen Ellyn helps bag Christmas gifts Monday for needy families.
As we share our Christmas wishes with family and friends, it’s important to remember those who may not have the same support systems in place this holiday season. On Page 2, we shared information on a few organizations that can help you help the needy this Christmas season. It would be a better world if each of us dedicated a little time to helping those in need – especially this month – so please take a look and see if you can afford to lend a hand, however that may be.

People should be kind
A: Mouth guards are indeed important for young athletes. And not just for those involved in the obvious high-contact sports like football and hockey. Experts have noted that even in a sport like gymnastics, a mouth guard is a wise precaution. Any activity that puts a young body in speedy motion puts it at risk for injury. So we’re not talking just about the varsity school athletes. We’re talking about every boy and girl involved in activities, be they recreational or competitive. And practices, of course, can be just as dangerous as games. Injuries to the mouth can be painful, in some cases leave permanent damage, and in most cases are expensive to address. Not only do mouth guards protect the young athletes’ mouth and teeth, their shock absorption capacity also makes them effective in reducing the risk of concussion. A mouth guard cushions the blow that could chip or break a tooth or cause a severe laceration to the lips or tongue. As with anything, mouth guards come in a range of styles. They can range from the custom-fitted to over-the-counter models, some of which you can mold yourself to the mouth’s alignment. The best advice is to talk with your dentist about your child’s lifestyle and whether a mouth guard is a necessary precaution.
I had to respond in reference to two Sound Offs in the Dec. 3 publication regarding Ferguson, Mo. It’s amazing how facts and evidence have no importance in this incident. No. 1 is Michael Brown committed a strong-arm robbery. No. 2 the officer was doing his job, stopping him and investigating. Police do this umpteen times a day. ... I agree, “put your hands up” when told, and you won’t get shot. And for the comment regarding

Woodrige woman’s photo wins 2nd place By AMANDA FRAZER msleditorial@shawmedia.com WOODRIDGE – As the hours passed on a cold, bleak Alaskan summer day, one Woodridge resident patiently observed the behavior of a female brown bear and her three cubs until a special moment occurred. As the cubs grew tired and fell peacefully asleep on one another, Ursula Dubrick was able to capture a photograph that won second place in the Baby Animal category of the 44th annual National Wildlife Photo Contest. The contest is hosted by the National Wildlife Federation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting America’s wildlife. “I was overjoyed. It’s a great honor, actually,” Dubrick said of her photograph being one of the winners selected from more than 29,000 entries. Dubrick won $250 and a spot for her photo in the December/January 2015 edition of National Wildlife magazine. Although Dubrick has earned honorable mentions and has been a finalist in previous years, this is the first award she has won through the magazine contest. Dubrick admitted it was difficult to take her eyes off the bears during the moment she was able to capture her photograph at Lake Clark National Park & Preserve. “They got tired and huddled and three heads went down,”

Photo provided by Ursula Dubrick
Woodridge resident Ursula Dubrick took this photo in the mudflats in Alaska’s Lake Clark National Park. The photo won a National Wildlife Magazine photo contest in the Baby Animals category. Dubrick said. “I just wanted to watch them and pick them up and hug them – I didn’t want to photograph – but those are things you can’t do and I kept the shutter clicking and, out of 100 photos, this was the best I think.” Dubrick grew up in northwest Indiana, moved to Florida for nine years and then moved to Woodridge in April. In Florida, she retired from her job with the government in 2008 and, with the additional time on her hands, decided to pursue her lifelong interest in photography and love for wildlife. Dubrick said she owns a 500mm lens, which allows her to capture close-ups of animals without intruding within their natural habitats or putting herself in danger. The mostly
self-taught photographer said she focuses her technique on observing animals and taking observational behavioral photographs. “Whether it’s the sandhill crane teaching its baby to feed itself or the great blue heron bringing in nesting materials and its mate taking the sticks, as long as the photographs show behavioral interaction, it makes them interesting, especially if there are babies of some kind,” Dubrick said. Dubrick said while living in Florida she photographed a wide variety of birds, including herons and egrets, and other wildlife, such as sea turtles. In addition to traveling to Alaska, Dubrick also has photographed wildlife in Africa and India with travel photography groups.

Though he wasn’t able to secure a move up in the hierarchy of U.S. House Republican leadership, Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Wheaton, will still hold a major position in the 114th Congress. Roskam was named Thursday as House Peter Ways and Means Committee over- Roskam sight chairman, according to a news release from Roskam’s office. The oversight subcommittee serves as a watchdog for the spending and operations of programs within the tax-writing and healthcare jurisdiction of the full committee, which will be led by Chairman-elect Paul Ryan, R-Wis.
Roskam said in the release he was honored by the appointment and promised “vigilant, fact-based and fair investigations” into federal agencies. “These last few years have shown us the real dangers of agencies run amok, and frankly it’s become all too common for citizens to be in the cross-hairs of their own federal government,” he said in the release. “But in this moment of both a Republican House and Senate, we have an incredible opportunity to shine a light into the dark corners, and restore the checks and balances that the founders intended.” Roskam had been chief deputy whip before losing to Louisiana representative Steve Scalise for the position of House majority whip in June.

• Thousands of paper and plastic shopping bags end up in landfills after the holiday season. Reusable cloth bags can limit the amount of bags tossed away, and users of plastic bags can recycle those bags at appropriate receptacles. • Four million tons of waste is attributed to shopping bags and wrapping paper. Recycling paper or looking for reusable items in which to wrap gifts can cut down on paper waste. • Approximately 33 million live trees are cut down and sold in North America each year for Christmas. If you use a live tree, be sure to recycle it so it can be turned into mulch instead of being sent to a landfill. Otherwise, consider buying a potted tree and planting it after the holidays. • Nearly 2.65 billion Christmas cards are sold and exchanged each year in the United States alone. This many cards can fill a football field 10 stories high. One less card sent per person can save roughly 50,000 cubic yards of paper. Electronic greetings are another way to save paper. • If everyone in Canada wrapped just three gifts in reused paper or gift bags, it would save enough paper to cover 45,000 hockey rinks.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Equipped with fun apps like Wheel of Fortune or Jeopardy, these devices can redefine family and friend game night, or their flat screen can be used to watch a movie at home or in a college dorm.
2 in 1s
2 in 1 devices, which are a laptop and tablet in one device, are perfect for people who like to keep their options open. A 2 in 1 device can function as a tablet when you want to relax and be entertained or it can be used as a laptop when a project must be finished. With a longer battery life, 2 in 1s are a great option for busy teens, college students or adults who are always on-the-go. The Microsoft Surface Pro 3 is built for productivity and has a great detachable keyboard so it’s ideal for any age that needs a computing device for daily school or work assignments.
Chromebooks
Chromebooks are perfect for students and educators. Offering a smooth, efficient and affordable Web browsing experience to consumers, Chromebook boots up in seconds and updates automatically. That means you’ll always enjoy a first-rate Internet experience and you don’t have to worry about your machine slowing you down.
Smartphones
Let’s face it: Most people are addicted to their tablets and smartphones. So how can you go wrong by giving one that is the best of both worlds to your loved one this holiday season? The ASUS PadFone X mini is the first smartphone in the U.S. with an Intel processor and LTE solution that transforms from a 4.5-inch smartphone into a 7-inch tablet when docked into the tablet docking station, offering consumers the benefits of two devices for less than $200. When looking for a smartphone for a holiday gift, look for one that is blazing fast and has a long battery life like the ASUS PadFone X mini, which also runs on Android with thousands of apps that can meet just about anyone’s needs.

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

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

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

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

Step 3: Light the night A well-lit and well-groomed home provides an important measure of safety. “The better the lighting in your home and yard, the fewer places there are for criminals to lurk,” says Leman. USAA, a leading provider of banking, insurance and investment services to the military community, recommends the 3 foot/6 foot rule: trim branches to 6 feet off the ground and shrubs down to 3 feet to minimize hiding places for burglars.

hen you think of the holidays, celebrations, presents and friends likely come to mind - not crime. Unfortunately, burglaries increase at this time of year, and your home could be a target. With a few simple safety precautions, you can protect your property, your family and your valuables now and well into the new year. “Taking steps to protect your home during the holidays isn’t radically different from what most people should be doing the rest of the year,” says Thomas Leman, a retired 27-year veteran of the police force and criminal justice professor at Argosy University Online. “The problem is that most people get lured into a false sense of security and tend to let their guard down, thinking that crime won’t happen to them.” TAKE PRECAUTIONS TODAY TO PROTECT YOUR HOME AND DETER CRIMINALS. CONSIDER THESE FIVE SIMPLE STEPS: Step 1: Decorate with care When it comes to holiday decorations, modesty is definitely the best policy, says Leman. “While you may love the look of a Christmas tree in your front window, expensive decorations on display can be a signal that there are valuables inside your home worth a criminal’s time. Gifts under the tree are the most blatant of these displays and are a welcome invitation for thieves.” Leaving gifts tucked away until the last possible minute is a quick and easy safety precaution. If you must display presents, make sure they are out of sight from any windows or doorways.

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

he holiday season is full of joy. But in the midst of decorating and socializing, pet owners may overlook the needs of their pets. Hectic schedules and homes full of unusual décor can throw pets off-kilter. No pet owner wants their pet to feel uncomfortable or suffer any injuries, so it’s important that owners exercise caution with the following items come the holiday season. • Bones: Is turkey on the menu for the family feast? If so, resist the urge to toss some bones and scraps to dogs or cats. Small bones or bone chips can become lodged in the digestive tracts of pets and cause serious injury. If you want to provide your pet with a holiday treat, choose a safer, store-bought bone. • Aromatic oils: The holidays are not the same without the familiar scent of mint, cinnamon or pine. Some people resort to scented candles or aromatherapy oils to create the perfect holiday ambiance. But some synthetic aromas or even natural extracts can be toxic to cats and dogs. Stick to nontoxic items and keep them well out of the pet’s reach. • Chocolate and other sweets: An abundance of treats seems to be par for the course during the holiday season. Dogs should avoid all chocolate, but dark chocolate poses a particularly serious threat. Chocolate can cause agitation, elevated heart rate, diarrhea, vomiting, seizures, and even death. In addition, candy or cookies sweetened with the artificial sweetener xylitol can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure for dogs. • Pine needles and trees: When ingested, pine needles can puncture the intestines of pets. In search of an easy drink, dogs and cats may be drawn to the fresh water reservoir of live trees, increasing the likelihood that they knock over a Christmas tree, injuring themselves and causing damage around the house. Trees should be properly secured, and fallen needles should be promptly discarded. • Tinsel and decorations: Skip the tinsel if you have a cat. Felines are likely to mistake tinsel for a toy. Eating tinsel can cause severe damage to a cat’s intestinal tract, as it may get caught in the stomach while the rest of it continues to pass through the intestines. Tinsel also may wrap around the tongue, increasing the cat’s risk of choking. Ornaments also are tempting playthings. Cats may pounce on glass ornaments, breaking them and suffering injury. Keep pets in mind when selecting tree ornaments, and opt for unbreakable ornaments when possible. • Electrical cords: The American Animal Hospital Association says holiday lights mean more electrical cords for kittens and puppies to chew. Secure all cords and keep them out of reach of pets. • Candles: The subtle flicker of a lit candle can add ambiance to a space. But all it takes is the swish of a tail or the pat of a paw to knock over a candle and spark a fire. Never leave lit candles unattended. If you have boisterous pets, opt for LED simulated candles instead. • Alcohol: Spirits are sometimes a part of celebrations, but alcoholic beverages should be kept out of reach of pets. Alcohol suppresses the immune system, and it can result in significant health issues for pets who consume it. The holiday season is a time for celebration. Ensure that these festivities are as safe for pets as they are enjoyable.

eart disease and stroke remain the two top killers of Americans, according to the American Heart Association. Some research shows that heart-related deaths increase by 5 percent during the holidays, no matter where you live, and more cardiac deaths occur on Christmas and New Year’s day than on any other days of the year, according to a study by the University of California, San Diego and Tufts University School of Medicine published in the journal Circulation. Cardiovascular-related incidents increase in winter for a number of reasons, including drops in temperature that constrict blood vessels, irregular workout routines, poor stress management and changing eating habits. “We tend to eat significantly more inflammation-promoting foods in the winter,” says Dr. Michael Roizen, founder of RealAge.com. “The combination of poor diet and other stressors can trigger plaque ruptures and cause chunks of fatty deposits lining arteries to enter the bloodstream, potentially leading to more risk for heart attack and stroke.” Here are suggestions for keeping your heart healthy this winter: Maintain a healthy diet Less than 1 percent of adults meet the American Heart Association’s definition for an “Ideal Healthy Diet,” which means the majority of people need to make some smarter nutrition decisions. Don’t overindulge on artery-clogging dishes, and instead focus on foods that contain key heart health nutrients, including: * Omega-3s DHA and EPA, found in fatty fish like salmon and sardines, are essential fatty acids which have been shown to support healthy blood pressure and brain function. GOED (the Global Organization for EPA and DHA omega-3) recommends getting 250-500mg of EPA and DHA per day through foods and supplements. * Vitamin D, found in mushrooms and added to soy and almond milks, has been shown to support heart health. Some research indicates that a vitamin D deficiency may be a risk factor for heart attacks, congestive heart failure, peripheral arterial disease and high blood pressure. Sunlight is the best natural source for vitamin D, but since people spend more time indoors during the winter, add foods that pack an added vitamin D punch, like soy milk fortified with the nutrient to the grocery list. * Beta-glucan, found in oats, is a plant-based sugar known to lower absorption of cholesterol, which may reduce the risk of heart disease. Research shows that consuming approximately 3mg per day of oat beta-glucan has a statistically significant cholesterol lowering effect. * For more information about nutrition for heart health, visit vitaminsinmotion.com. Even if you do follow a healthy diet, a busy lifestyle can make it difficult to obtain the recommended amounts of vitamins and minerals from food alone. One simple way to enhance your diet is to look for foods fortified with key nutrients and nutritional supplements. Stay active Regular exercise has a favorable effect on many of the established risk factors for cardiovascular disease. For example, exercise promotes weight reduction and can help reduce blood pressure. Take the dog on a walk or challenge your kids to a snowball fight. Make it fun, but make sure it happens. Keep warm If you’re going outdoors in the cold, keep your mouth covered with a scarf so warm air hits your lungs first when you breathe in. For those who are traveling from a warm to a cold climate, pack warm gear, because some research suggests a dip in temperature from what you’re used to may increase your risk for stroke by 7 percent, and heart attack by 12 percent. Relax Focus on the pleasures of the holiday season, like gift-giving, family time and volunteering. Giving and relaxation can benefit stress levels. Finally, sticking to your normal sleep schedule is very important.

By ALEX SOULIER asoulier@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Building a contending boys basketball team in the West Suburban Silver conference is an arduous task. After a disappointing 9-18 season in 2013-14, Downers Grove North and head coach Jim Thomas returned a nearly identical lineup highlighted by forwards Matt Mahlke and Devin Blake, center David Edwards and guard Myles Farley. Heading into the season, coaches and players were optimistic the Trojans have the skill, depth and versatility to compete in the West Suburban Silver. But after a promising 3-1 showing at the Wheaton Academy tournament, DGN dropped their first two conference games to perennial powers Pro-
viso West and Hinsdale Central. In both contests, the Trojans were in a position to win but did not leave the court with a victory. With under a minute left in the fourth quarter against Proviso West on Dec. 5, Blake nailed a shot from 24 feet to give the Trojans a 56-55 lead. But Proviso West answered with a buzzer-beating three-pointer to seal a 58-56 win. Blake led the way against Proviso West with 18 points while guard Jordan Kedrowski added 13. “I thought we played three very good quarters against Proviso West,” Thomas said. “But we gave up 32 points in the fourth quarter, which is uncharacteristic of us. And considering they beat us on that last shot, it didn’t sit too well with anybody.” Still, Downers Grove North

Trailing 24-22 at the half, the Trojans erased a nine-
point second-half deficit behind the three-point shooting of Kedrowski and a game high 16 points from Blake. But Farley missed a potential game-tying three with less than a minute left in the fourth and DGN fell 51-47.
“They played a really good game against Hinsdale Central,” Thomas said. “We performed well on the road and had some opportunities to tie it. Central is a phenomenal basketball team, but I thought we did a good job of slowing them down.” Thomas also explained his players have given maximum effort in the early going of the season and that the details can be ironed out as the season progresses. “We have been in both conference games, so I think it’s just a matter of working on the minor details and making sure that we take care of certain situations better,” Thomas said. “It will help us be more successful in the future.” The Trojans will vie for their first conference win Friday when they host Lyons Township.
