Village extends contract to promote business with China Goal is to seek out and attract quality businesses to diversify the business base

By Laura Katauskas staff reporter

katauskas@buglenewspapers.com @lkatauskas

The village of Romeoville is expanding the scope of an exclusive agreement with a consultant to attract business from China.

The village has had a contract with the Performance Institute, LLC to identify potential manufacturing opportunities with various businesses in China for the past year. Officials now are extending the contract and expanding the scope to include a focus on foreign investment, said Village Manager Steve Gulden.

“They now have a bigger umbrella to bring foreign dollars back into our community,” said Mayor John Noak. “Equity investment continues to be a tough thing in the market. So if there are opportunities out there and we can bring them into the community, that is where we will focus.”

The primary goals as defined by the village and the Romeoville Village Economic Development

Commission are to seek out and attract quality businesses to diversify the business base while increasing employment opportunities for local residents. In cooperation with the village, PILLC will work as an adviser on international business development within the village of Romeoville. The village will pay a consultant fee of $6,000 per month for the one-year contract.

In addition to the monthly fee, PILLC will receive a performance bonus for each new business that locates within the village due to their efforts. The amount will be equal to a percentage of the village’s share of the real estate taxes. The term of the agreement is not to exceed $100,000. Gulden explained that the village has been working with the group for the past year and relationships with businesses in China have been developed, but it takes time to nurture and bring on board.

“This contract is based on 20 hours a week and is below market rate but the performance incentive balances that out,” said Gulden.

“The hope is that the relationships created over the last six months will help us establish a relationship with foreign markets. There have been some possibilities out there, and it can become one of those things that you are damned if you do and damned if you don’t. We don’t want to leave something on the table. We want one more shot.”

PILLC is expected to attract foreign business investment to identified targeted opportunities, expand current manufacturing and service opportunities, and attract and develop a skilled labor force through existing and new partners including universities, colleges, trade schools and community-based businesses.

They plan to build upon the work already started by both Chicago and the state of Illinois to provide appropriate ground-presence, for the development of selected Sister City/Sister District relationships with the village of Romeoville.

“This is a good opportunity to do for the next year and then reevaluate,” said Noak. “They’ve seen our infrastructure and have brought in excellent prospects but it takes a little time, but the payoff could be substantial if we are successful.”

District passes calendar for school year; new courses District received only 12 comments in relation to the calendar on website

By Laura Katauskas staff reporter

katauskas@buglenewspapers.com @lkatauskas

The Valley View School District 365u passed the school calendar for the next two school years, with a similar schedule as the current year.

Though school officials sought feedback on the proposed calendars which were posted online as of early November, the district received only 12 comments in relation to the calendar.

A committee consisting of community stakeholders, certified and classified staff members, administrators, secretarial staff, union representatives and School Board Member Deb Sykora planned the calendar.

According to Assistant Superintendent Rachel Kinder said the committee takes into consideration prior years’ calendars, calendars of neighboring school districts, Illinois State Board of Education guidelines, collective bargaining agreement language, required legal holidays, election day schedules and input received from stakeholders throughout the year.

For the 2015-16 calendar, the school year will begin Wed. Aug. 19 and end on Friday, May 27, weather permitting. Thanksgiving break would be Nov. 25-27, Winter Break from Dec. 21-Jan. 1, and Spring Break from April 4-8. Spring Break does not occur around Easter due to testing for the new state-mandated PARCC assessment.

Other planned holidays include

Labor Day (Sept. 7), Columbus Day (Oct. 12), Veterans Day (Nov. 11), Martin Luther King’s birthday (Jan. 18), Presidents’ Day (Feb. 15), Pulaski Day (March 7), and Good Friday (March 25).

Under the proposed 2016-17 calendar, classes will begin on Wed, Aug. 17 and end on Friday, May 26.

Thanksgiving break would be Nov. 23-25, Winter Break from Dec. 23-Jan. 6, and Spring Break from April 10-14. Other planned holidays include Labor Day (Sept. 5), Columbus Day (Oct. 10), Veterans Day (Nov. 11), Martin Luther King’s birthday (Jan. 16), Presidents’ Day (Feb. 20), and Pulaski Day (March 6).

In other school district news, the board passes two new courses for the high school level next year including High School Sports Entertainment Marketing Course and Digital Photography.

The marketing course available

for grades 10, 11, and 12 is described as a hands-on, interactive course that concentrates on activities necessary to market products, services and ideas to consumers.

With an emphasis on Sports and Entertainment industries, students will focus on target marketing, the marketing mix, buyer behavior, advertising and promotion. In addition, students will learn how to use technology to create marketing materials such as print ads, specialty pro-motions, and logo creation.

In the digital photography course students will learn the manual functions of digital photography, including exposure, depth of field, composition, and photo editing. Students will use digital cameras to shoot their own original photographs and use Adobe Photoshop to learn how to edit and will be introduced to the Elements and Principles of Design and photography terminology.

areas in Chicago, Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, Oakbrook Center in Oak Brook as well as malls in Champaign, Peoria, Fairview Heights, Marion, Moline, Rockford and Springfield on November 28th, the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season and the busiest shopping day of the year. Other enforcements will take place during the holiday season in Chicago, the suburbs and across the state.

“Our mission is not to issue tickets, but to ensure that accessible parking spaces are available to those who need them,” White said. “Parking illegally in a space reserved for people with disabilities

were issued to those violating the Parking Program for Persons with Disabilities.

Drivers caught misusing a placard face a six-month driver’s license suspension and $600 fine.

Repeat violators will face a oneyear driver’s license suspension and $1,000 fine for a second offense, and for the third or subsequent offenses they face a $1,000 fine plus a one-year driver’s license revocation.

There are 691,858 disability placards and 76,046 disability license plates in Illinois.

Secretary White urged people to report abuse of parking spaces for people with disabilities by calling 217-785-0309.

The senior and first-team allWSG pick earned team offensive MVP honors for Downers South this season, gaining over 1,300 all-purpose yards. At tailback, he cracked the 1,000-yard mark (1,027) and scored 15 total touchdowns.

He also played three games at quarterback and lined up as a defensive back.

“He played a variety of positions on offense and started at quarterback for one game,” said coach Mark Molinari. “He also contributed on special teams as a kick returner and punter.”

The Plainfield North senior paved the way for a powerful running attack and also played on the defensive line. Is committed to Syracuse. Had 35 tackles, four tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks and six pass knockdowns.

“He was a dominating blocker every week and took great pride in dominating his opposing player,” Kane said. “He was a great leader for us and played with a real passion for the game.”

nicK Borgra Joliet Catholic Academy running back rushed for 1,124 yards and 16 touchdowns on the season and was named to the All-ESCC team.

Quinton Brown Westmont senior rushed for 1,391 yards and 14 TDs in Otto Zeman’s pass-happy offense. He also had a pair of fumble recoveries on defense and scored on a kickoff return.

“He did a lot for us this season,” Zeman said. “He was a senior leader and played well on both sides of the ball.”

d’lante dawSon Two-way all conference player, he set single-season record for the Spartans with five interceptions.

He was the team’s offensive MVP. He tallied 627 receiving yards and seven touchdowns.

“He was lockdown corner who also became an explosive receiver on offense,” said Romeoville coach Jeff Kuna.

JuStin fahey The heart and soul of Maine South’s 10-1 squad, the senior had a combined 1,037 yards (717 rushing, 320 receiving) and 19 touchdowns, but his defensive play was even more noteworthy. Fahey was named CSL South Defensive Player of the Year with three interceptions and 54 tackles (second on the team).

“He did just about everything for us on both sides of ball and you don’t see that much these days,” said Maine South coach David Inserra.

Borland, Hoosman tabbed All-Area Players of Year

By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

Bolingbrook Raider junior linebacker Tuf Borland was born to play football.

Well, at least he was named for it.

When choosing names, Borland’s dad, Kyle, a former linebacker for the University of Wisconsin, suggested a name and it stuck “My dad threw it out as a joke to my mom and she liked it,” Tuf said.

He hasn’t taken that name lightly, as he has been the starting middle linebacker for the Raiders since his freshman season and this year posted 167 total tackles, 95 solo. He posted 15 tackles for loss and three sacks for a total loss of 47 yards. He also tallied five pass break ups, one interception, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery on the season.

For his accomplishments, Borland was tabbed as the first-ever Voyager Media Football Defensive Player of the Year.

“The defensive line did a great job of keeping linemen off me and allowing me to run around and make plays,” Borland said. “(Playing on such a great defense) was huge, they are all great players and that really took the pressure off me and not worrying about that I had to do everything because I had five other guys playing D-I football.”

What Borland said he likes best about his position is the freedom he has roaming the center of the field.

“I love that about linebacker because you are always in the play. There is never a down play, one minute you are rushing the passer, the next play, you drop into coverage.”

Since he first appeared on the varsity level as a freshman, Borland has grown as a player, but he still feels he can be better.

“I have grown a lot,” he said.

“Playing as a freshman, it really opened my eyes. I like to see my game continue to grow in every level.”

Borland is getting offers from several college programs, mainly Big Ten programs, which is where he sees himself.

“I grew up watching Big 10

“I see myself somewhere in the Hoosman. Hoosman missed much of last year with an injury, but Midwest.”

• While area schools such as returned this year to gain more than Bolingbrook and Joliet Catholic 2,400 yards with 32 touchdowns, have been known for churning gaining more than 200 yards in out successful running backs, nine of 10 games.

“Plainfield North has come out Plainfield North is quickly starting with some great running backs,” to join that list.

For his successful season, Hoosman is the Voyager Media Football Offensive Player of the Year.

“It feels great,” Hoosman said of winning the award. “It is all a big surprise to me. I’m getting all of these accomplishments and I’m just happy my season went successfully. I’m glad how my season turned out overall.”

“Quintin had an outstanding year for us and was a big key to our success,” North coach Tim Kane said. “He showed toughness in breaking tackles and elusiveness with his many long runs.”

While Hoosman was out last year, then sophomore Marcus Edwards took over and ran for more than 400 yards in a game. It was unsure how the two were going to split carries this year, but Edwards transferred before the season started, leaving Hoosman as the main man in the backfield.

And he took full advantage of the opportunity.

“I think we were going to split carries, but I’m not sure how it was going to go,” Hoosman said. “I’m glad I was able to help my team as much as I could. I had to step up because my junior year I was injured and I had to prove myself to everyone what I could do and I think I did that. Without the injury I probably wouldn’t have put in the work in the offseason that I did.”

Hoosman also benefitted from one of the top offensive lines around, with a pair of Division-I

“I have two D-I linemen and they the senior, it didn’t end on a high are huge parts of what I was able note. Holding a lead late in a first to do,” Hoosman said. “The holes round playoff game with Normal, were great all year. I couldn’t ask Hoosman tore his ACL. The Tigers for a better set of linemen. We had ended up losing the game.

14 all-area | from page 11 “I can’t even explain what he did in terms of leadership day in and day out. He was a joy to coach and one of the best leaders we’ve ever had.”

MATT GALALOPOULOS Tommy Galanopoulos’ younger brother, Matt emerged as a receiver and return threat this season at Niles West and picked up the slack when senior wideout-return specialist Quran Spillman went down with a season-ending broken leg.

The sophomore recorded a combined 892 receiving and rushing yards and scored eight total touchdowns, including a handful of kickoff and punt returns for scores.

“Once Quran got hurt, Matt showed that he was a go-to guy,” said Niles West coach Scott Baum.

“He handled it ability-wise and maturity-wise.”

Wedn esday, Decem ber 4, 2014 | rom eovi llebug le.com TOMMY GALANOPOULOS

NATHAN GUNN

A starter since his sophomore year at Niles West, the senior—named the CSL South’s offensive Player of the Year for 2014—led the Wolves to the playoffs each of his three varsity seasons. Galanopoulos got the job done with his arm and feet, piling up 1,352 yards passing yards (16 touchdown passes) and 802 yards rushing (six TDs).

“He’s another coach on the field,” said Baum. “We feel like we’re losing an assistant offensive coordinator.

“He’s taken our program to another level.”

Senior posted 1,181 rushing yards for Minooka.

Gunn also added a team-best 14 rushing touchdowns.

MIKE GRUBEN

University of Minnesota-bound senior was named to the Illinois High School Coaches Association Class 8A All State team.

He posted 91 total tackles on the season, including a team-best seven sacks.

He had nine other tackles for loss and posted seven pass breakups, two interceptions, one forced fumble, two fumble recoveries and a pair of blocked kicks.

He also posted 10 offensive TDs, nine on the ground and one through the air.

Joliet Catholic Academy linebacker was the East Suburban Catholic Conference Defensive Player of the Year, posting 118 tackles and two interceptions.

KYLE HENDERSON Big play target for Joliet West, the senior tallied 36 catches for 777 yards and nine touchdowns this year.

“Kyle made huge plays for us all year,” said West coach Jason Aubrey.

JULIAN HUFF

CHUCK HUNTER Romeoville senior was a two-year All-Conference selection and the team MVP this season. He posted 668 receiving yards and yards and netted 50 tackles on defense.

“He is a great skill player on both sides of the ball,” Kuna said. “He also returned kicks and punts for us.”

DANIEL JACKSON A Plainfield East defensive lineman, Jackson was the unanimous Southwest Prairie Conference Defensive MVP. He had 15 tackles for loss and 9 sacks.

“There were times when Daniel was very dominant,” Plainfield East coach Mike Romeli said. “He is going to make coach (PJ) Fleck and the Western Michigan Broncos extremely happy.”

JACK KRAMER A Plainfield North offensive and defensive lineman, Kramer had 42 tackles, five tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks. Is committed to Bowling Green.

“Jack showed so much toughness and grit this year as he played with an injury almost all year,” Kane said.

CHASE KRUMVEIDE Two way lineman for JCA, tallied 72 tackles and three sacks on the defensive side of the ball.

Was named the ESCC Defensive Lineman of the year.

Chuck Hunter was a standout two-way player for the Spartans.

VINNY LABUS Like Justin Fahey, Labus was a force on both sides of the ball for Maine South. The senior led the Hawks in tackles (77) and had 11 tackles-forloss and two interceptions while calling the defensive signals. He also was one of their main receiving targets, finishing with 500 yards and seven TD catches.

“He was a two-way standout for three years and will be a big loss for the team (with him graduating),” said Inserra.

DONALD MANNING The Plainfield East junior defensive lineman had 12 tackles for loss and 10 sacks on the year.

“Donald was phenomenal on our defense that had four shutouts and 26 takeaways on the year,” Romeli said. “He will be a highly recruited D-Lineman.”

JAKE MAYON The Plainfield East senior had

230 carries for 1,436 yards and 19 touchdowns. He also added 10 Catches for 208 yards and two scores.

“Jake is a phenomenal athlete and a totally dedicated worker,” Romeli said.

DAVIS NEILANDS Nothing sums up Neilands’ performance this season quite like one play he made in Maine South’s 36-35 win over Montini in Week 1. The senior lineman blocked a punt with 13.8 seconds to go in the game, scooped up the loose ball and ran it in for the game-winning touchdown.

“That play right there shows his athleticism,” said Inserra. “Not only did he explode through the line but blocked the kick and was athletic enough to scoop it up.”

The CSL Conference Lineman of the Year also had nine sacks and 15 tackles-for-loss.

After going through a rebuilding season a year ago, the Romeoville girls basketball team came out looking like a different team in its own Thanksgiving Tournament.

“We are still a little young, but we have some senior leadership in Cherish (Smith) and Jamie (Hopper),” said Romeoville coach Julio Carrasco.

“Last year we didn’t have that senior leadership and this year, we have some of those girls stepping up and being leaders and the rest of them are listening.”

Not only do the seniors bring leadership, they bring talent as well.

“Cherish worked on her shot a lot and we are allowing her to step off and shoot the three,” Carrasco said.

“With her and Jamie, we have a three and four with prototypical college bodies and with them being able to step out and shoot as well as rebound really helps.”

Joining the seniors are guards Lexi Marin and Skye Osborne, who are back from last year.

Marin, Carrasco said, has improved her game.

“We worked hard over the summer about the looks,” Carrasco said.

“We ran 20 something plays and as a freshman, everything was just coming at her with her trying to figure out who to pass to. I stress to the point guards that they need to know all five

positions, much like a quarterback, they need to know what is going on at each position.”

Marin won’t be asked to do it all this season, as the Spartans have a transfer to help back her up.

“It was a nice addition to get Diamond (Dortch) in from Plainfield East, it gives us a second point guard and we now have two we can use,” Carrasco said.

Adding to the returners is 6-foot freshman Jahari Smith.

“It is nice having that. She is doing a nice job. She is 6-0 and long arms and jumping ability,” Carrasco said.

“It is something that we have never really had. With Nia Harris and Chaimae Khaled, we have three girls that are six foot and when we get Perla (Gutierrez) back who is 5-10, we have some depth.”

The Spartans were able to enjoy the beginning of the season at home in their own tournament, something Carrasco enjoys.

“The competition is great,” he said. “Joliet Central is getting a lot better and Plainfield Central was competitive in every game. Lockport is a good team and Lemont is young and really getting better.”

Romeoville jumps right into Southwest Prairie Conference play Dec. 5 as it hosts Plainfield Central and then remains home for a game with Plainfield South Dec. 9.

E.J. PHILLIPS The 6-foot, 315-pound senior played nose guard for Downers North the past three years. He exhibited agility and quickness for his size, and was disruptive for the Trojans again this season despite playing with a broken wrist and a torn labrum.

MIKE SABATINO A stalwart defensive end for Notre Dame, Sabatino, a senior, racked up eight sacks, nine tackles-for-loss, two forced fumbles and 59 total tackles (including 44 solos).

DANNY SARACCO It was another big year for the Plainfield South linebacker. He had 151 total tackles, 25 tackles for loss, two sacks a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.

“He was explosive and quick off the snap,” South coach Ken Bublitz said. “Runs well from sideline to sideline.

Has excellent finish on tackles and outstanding recognition of alignment and opponent tendencies.”

ERIK SWENSON Imposing at 6-5, 310 pounds, the junior lineman was a starter on the Downers South offensive line. He is verbally committed play at the University of Michigan and also is a two-year recipient of the WSG Lineman of the Year award (2013 and 2014). “He was arguably the best lineman in the state and a top five 2016 national recruit for linemen, according to (high school football recruiting analyst) Tom Lemming,” said DGS coach Mark Molinari. “He has (scholarship) offers from all over the country.”

BRAD SZNAJDER The senior tailback was Benet’s go-to player offensively during the 2014 season, accumulating a school-record 1,583 yards and 14 TDs (15 total) while helping to lead Benet to the Class 8A playoffs.

“He’s just a workhorse,” said Benet coach Pat New.

ALEX TIBBLE Joliet West junior quarterback was the heart and soul of the best team in Joliet West history.

This season Tibble completed the year 117-for-222 passing for 1,950 yards and 16 touchdowns through the air. On the ground, he had 78 carries for a team-best 328 yards and six scores.

“Alex is the best all-around quarterback in the area,” Aubrey said.

QUINCY WOODS Do everything player for Bolingbrook, played receiver, running back, quarterback, defensive back and returned kicks for the Raiders.

Caught a team high 34 passes for 654 yards and four TDs, had 21 kickoff returns for 284 yards and a pair of scores.

On the ground he posted 255 yards on 43 carries and five scores.

Bills incoming at wrong half of the month You won’t be able to fix this in just one month, but there is a long-term solution By dave ramsey dave says

www.daveramsey.com @DaveRamsey

Dear Dave, My husband and I are following your plan, and we’re trying to reconcile our on-paper budget with what’s going on in our bank account. Most of our bills are due

the first half of the month, but we receive most of our income during the second half of the month. Can you help us figure out what to do?

Kathy Dear Kathy, If you’re actually making a budget and sticking to it, what you’re describing is a cash flow bind. You are in charge of your budget until it’s on paper. Once it’s on paper, it has to accurately represent reality.

In your reality, that means a cash flow strain on the first checks and extra money on the second checks.

You won’t be able to fix this in just one month, but there is a long-term solution. Move some of the money from your second checks into the first half of the next month. By doing this, you’ll start running from the fifteenth to the fifteenth instead

of from the first to the $53,000 a year, and we’re first. It will help you stay trying to get out of debt. ahead and avoid getting We have $35,000 in debt, pinched. and most of that is on our The second part of this truck.

You’ve got a bunch of debt hanging over your heads, and Dear Dave, My husband and I both work the truck you mentioned is a big two jobs. Together we make about part of the problem.

Sell the truck and move down to something very inexpensive to drive for a little while. Then tear into the remainder of the debt and get it paid off as fast as you can. After that, save up a bunch of money so you can go to school debt-free.

I know that may seem like a long time before you can start school, but chances are you can get this done in less than two years. And trust me, going to school debt-free will feel a whole lot better than having another bunch of payments buzzing around your heads for years to come!

Crypto viruses are something to fear Virus encrypts files, demands ransom and antivirus will not help

By John Becker computer tech

www.medofficesystems.com. @BugleNewspapers

I don’t want to sound like a broken record, but I have another warning to issue, this time about the “crypto” type of viruses.

These crypto viruses sound like fiction but are all too real.

Technically, this breed is not a virus per se, as it does not delete files or cause damage to the computer itself. But what it does is perhaps worse than deleting or damaging files.

Why are crypto viruses worse?

There are effective and wellknown recovery techniques for deleted or damaged files, but there is no fix for encrypted files.

Encryption is a technique that uses a mathematical algorithm to take a digital file, add a “secret code,” scramble the contents and then save the scrambled file. The scramble is done in a way that makes deciphering the scramble impossible without knowing the secret code.

never pay the ransom for Encryption, when those reasons alone, but used properly, protects also because these attacks your digital files from will continue with the more hackers. I use encryption money these criminals to scramble files I need to make. send via email.

But when hackers are doing the scrambling, john becker How do I avoid getting it is used against you to computer tech this type of virus? make your files unusable and held for ransom. This The answer of how to is what the Cryptolocker, Cryptowall avoid CryptoLocker or TorLocker and TorLocker viruses do. After one is the same advice I always give: of these hits your system, your data If anything looks or seems odd, files, pictures and music files are don’t do it. Don’t click on random, unusable until “unlocked.” unwanted pop-ups while surfing This is where the hackers make websites, don’t click links in emails their money: You have to purchase and don’t open email attachments the unlock code for varying before first scanning them with an amounts (typically $300-$500) antivirus scanner. from the hackers. The hackers are quite brazen, leaving complete How can I protect my data? instructions of what they did and what you must do to get your This one gets complicated. First, files back. They can afford to be having a backup of your data on brazen because they hide behind some other device like a flash disk anonymous “bitcoin” websites to or backup disk is always a good get paid. start. Having a cloud backup is If you don’t pay, your files remain also good, however, if you suspect scrambled forever. If you do pay, you you may have CryptoLocker or will get the unlock code back but TorLocker, stop your cloud backup now your credit card information immediately. The encrypted files is in the hands of hackers, and will be uploaded to your cloud sometimes the unlock code does backup and will be equally useless not work. as the copies on your disk.

I strongly recommend that you

Won’t my anti-virus stop this?

Short answer: No. Because CryptoLocker and TorLocker require cryptology software to be installed, it requires active user input to do so. This is not something that automatically installs itself, as the user has to perform some action to allow it to be installed.

In other words, when the user clicks “OK” to an e-mail attachment or some pop-up box, Crypto-orTorLocker has a free pass to install.

When the user clicks OK, it means OK to everything on the computer, allowing the crypto virus to shut off or bypass antivirus software completely.

One more thing CryptoLocker and TorLocker can actively search shared folders and network drives, and travel across networks to other machines. If one of these gets into your home or business network, one infection on one computer can encrypt all of your files on each computer.

Proper preparation is critical to keep you and your family safe during the winter months Now that the cold weather has arrived, it’s a good time to review winter safety. While this time of year brings lots of outdoor fun, including skiing, sledding and skating, there is the ever-present risk of frostbite and hypothermia.

Hypothermia develops when a person’s body temperature falls below 95 degrees Fahrenheit. This typically happens when children are left to play for prolonged periods in the cold, especially if their clothes get wet. It should be noted that hypothermia can occur more quickly in children than in adults.

Signs of hypothermia begin with shivering and progress to lethargy, confusion and poor coordination.

If a child begins to shiver and has chills they should be taken indoors

immediately, wet clothing should be removed and replaced with warm blankets. If the child exhibits any degree of clumsiness, slurred speech or lethargy, call 911 at once.

Frostbite occurs when the skin and outer layers of tissue actually freeze.

Extremities such as fingers, toes and ears are most at risk for frostbite. The area may start to burn or feel numb and will appear gray or pale and may blister.

If frostbite develops, the affected area should be placed in warm (not hot) water. If the ears, nose or lips seem to be frostbitten, warm washcloths can be applied. Do NOT rub the affected area.

After a few minutes of exposure to warm water, dry the area and cover with warm clothing. Give the person something warm to drink. If the numbness or burning continues for more than a few minutes - call your doctor immediately.

The risk of house fires also increases with cold weather. Make sure holiday decorations are placed away from heaters and fireplaces and check the wires on light strings for fraying or bad connections. Keep electric or kerosene space heaters away from flammable materials, such as curtains or furniture. Additionally, yearly chimney inspections and cleanings are a must for homes that use a fireplace or woodstove. Check all smoke detectors to make sure they have fresh batteries and that they are functioning properly.

Homes should also be fitted with carbon monoxide detectors, as the gas is colorless, odorless and tasteless. It is produced by wood or gasfueled appliances, such as heaters, stoves, water heaters, or dryers, that do not burn properly. Symptoms of CO poisoning include prolonged headache and feeling extremely tired. If multiple people are experiencing these symptoms, leave the house and contact emergency services.

proper clothing Infants and children must be dressed warmly for outdoor activities. The most effective strategy is to focus on layers. Have children wear several layers, with at least one being filled with down or some type of manmade insulation material. A good rule of thumb for younger kids is to dress them in one more layer than an adult would wear in the same weather conditions.

A warm hat and boots are a must, and try to encourage family members to wear mittens, as they are warmer than gloves.

Additionally, parents with young infants should resist the temptation to snuggle their children with blankets or quilts as these can be associated with suffocation deaths and are linked to sudden infant death syndrome.

winter travel tips Winter in Chicago frequently brings difficult road conditions due to snow and ice. Inexperienced drivers should consider staying home during extreme weather or consider practice driving in an empty parking lot. For families needing to travel, remember to clean snow off taillights and headlights, and watch out for slow-moving vehicles, such as snowplows.

Additionally, consider preparing a car emergency kit with the following items: Snow brush and an ice scraper, bag of sand or cat litter for tire traction in the snow, first aid kit, blanket, flashlight and batteries, nonperishable snack foods, candle and matches, and cup to melt snow for water.

If you become stranded, stay with your vehicle. Run the heater occasionally to keep warm, but avoid carbon monoxide poisoning by making sure your tailpipe is not blocked by snow or other debris.

outdoor activities Outdoor activities can provide great family memories but can lead to danger if not done safely. Parents should make sure sledding hills are not too steep; clear of rocks, trees or other obstructions; and away from vehicle traffic. The safest way to ride is sitting up because there is less risk of head injury, and it is better to have a sled that can be steered.

For ice skaters, manmade rinks are the best choice. For families that want to skate on a pond or a lake, be sure the ice is at least 4 to 6 inches thick with no holes or soft spots.
