“Staying active, and keeping the blood flowing by shoveling snow or just walking.”

“Bundling up when going outside. Wearing gloves, hood, scarves.

There’s a lot of work that goes into raising awareness and funds for cancer research, but Westmont’s Stacey Ledwon says not enough goes toward childhood cancer research.

In response to that, Ledwon and her family — who lost 5-year-old daughter Lindsey to brain cancer in 2008 — have dedicated their time to participate with the St. Baldrick’s Foundation to raise funds for and awareness of pediatric cancer.

And this year, the family is organizing the Westmont St. Baldrick’s Fundraiser beginning at noon Sunday, March 17, at J. Fleming’s Absolutely Delicious restaurant, 18 N. Cass Ave., in Westmont.

It’s the first St. Baldrick’s event the family has organized.

“While events like Relay For Life and the Susan G. Koman Breast Cancer events are good, very little of that money goes to pediatric cancer research or treatment,” Ledwon said. “For every dollar donated to St. Baldrick’s, more than 80 cents goes directly to that cause, because they operate mainly on volunteers and have very little expenses.”

During St. Baldrick’s fundraisers, volunteers offer to get their head shaved for the charity, and each participant solicits donations for the shaving.

In 2009, the Ledwon family formed Team Lindsey when son Ben, now 12 and a seventh-grader at Westmont Junior High, got a couple of his friends together to shave their heads in remembrance of his sister. To date, Team Lindsey has raised more than $66,000 for St. Baldrick’s.

“It just has grown bigger each year,” Ledwon said. “And when we decided that we wanted to organize our own event, it was important to me that we keep it here in Westmont, where we have had great support in the past. J. Fleming’s has offered to host the event, and we have hair dressers from Karma salon in Westmont who have volunteered to be the shavers.”

The March 17 event will feature a 50/50 raffle, silent auction, raffle prizes and more.

For information on the event, and how to donate to St. Baldrick’s, visit the event website at www. stbaldricks.org/events/mypage/9446/2013.

Zoning restriction could derail plan for Downers Grove senior center DOWNERS GROVE — The village has tabled a plan for a senior center near 63rd Street after a resident pointed out a zoning restriction that could derail the project.

Last week, the Downers Grove Plan Commission heard a petition for a senior care facility near 63rd Street and Lyman Avenue.

The three-story, 120-unit facility was planned for three parcels within the subdivision, but during the fivehour meeting on Jan. 28 a resident provided testimony of a restrictive covenant that affects the proposal. The village confirmed the restriction, and officials notified the developer in a letter last week.

“After reviewing the plat, it appears there is a restriction that limits lots in the subdivision to only single-family residence buildings,” village officials wrote in the letter.

Now, the developers hoping to construct the Sheltered Care Facility have until next week to resolve the issue.

If the Delta Development can show

by Monday that it has resolved the restriction, then the village will resume the plan commission hearing Feb. 25.

If not, the hearing will be canceled and rescheduled whenever the firm resolves the issue — but only up to 90 days past Feb. 25, according to a limit set out in village ordinance.

8IT’S HISTORY: A GLIMPSE INTO DOWNER’S GROVE’S PAST

‘A valued citizen’ Gustav Bunge came to Downers Grove in 1891 and served as the station agent for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad until 1899. The Downers Grove Reporter made special mention of his contributions to town in an 1895 article stating “Mr. Bunge is a valued citizen, held in the highest regard by the public. He is courteous and obliging and has always discharged the duties of his office with the greatest satisfaction to the public was well as to the company.

He is also an agent of the Adams Express Co., and a member of the village board of trustees.”

On April 6, 1899, he was admitted to the Illinois Bar Association and began practicing law in the Chicago area and eventually moved his practice to Downers Grove in 1925. He later became the dean of the DuPage County Bar Association.

Unfortunately, he died in 1941 as a result of injuries sustained from an auto accident.

Police: Activity near Lester unrelated to school DOWNERS GROVE — Parents dropping their children off at Lester School early Thursday morning might have been greeted by nearby police activity, but it was unrelated to students or the school, officials said.

Downers Grove police executed a search warrant in the 200 block of Lincoln Avenue — the same block as the school — about 6 a.m., said police spokesman Sgt. Harry Andler. The scene was cleared by 7:30 a.m., about an hour before school begins, and there was no threat to the public, he said.

“The activity was in no way related to Lester School,” Andler wrote in an email.

“Details of the investigation are not

being released due to pending criminal charges.”

Downers Grove Wallflowers concert to benefit charity DOWNERS GROVE — Family charity Sharing Connections is partnering to host a Wallflowers concert this month that will raise money for the Downers Grove-based nonprofit.

The Wallflowers — the ‘90s alt-rock group fronted by Jakob Dylan and best known for their 1997 single “One Headlight” — will perform at Tivoli Theatre in downtown Downers Grove on Feb. 12.

For each $45 ticket purchased, $1 will go to Sharing Connections Furniture Bank. The charity collects household items and distributes them to families in need throughout the region.

Tickets for the show can be purchased

online through www.ticketweb.com . Doors open at 6 p.m. and the show begins at 7:30 p.m. at the theater, 5021 Highland Ave.

Snowshoeing comes to Downers Grove DOWNERS GROVE — With the winter season now halfway over, snowshoeing is available for the first time this week at Lyman Woods.

The 135-acre woods at Highland Avenue and Braemoor Drive rents out snow shoes for $6 for three hours. No experience or other gear is required, but officials recommend snow boots or waterproof shoes and dressing in layers.

Are you suffering with an

Autoimmune condition?

Living with an autoimmune disorder can affect every part of your life. It keeps you from enjoying the good things in life… time with your kids, grandkids, activities like golfing, biking, yard work and gardening.

Did you know that leaky gut syndrome is a precursor to an autoimmune disease?

Did you know that your gut makes up 80% of your immune system?

An autoimmune disorder is when your immune system attacks your own body. There is NO CURE for autoimmune disorders, but you can calm down the immune response NATURALLY. My name is Dr. Jeffrey E Forzley, with Lemont Natural Healthcare. I am a chiropractic physician and a holistic practitioner. I am passionate about helping people with chronic health conditions. I have been in practice for 28 years. As a holistic practitioner I evaluate the whole body and the many systems of the body, integrate their relationships, manage the underlying cause and use natural methods to manage autoimmune disorders.

Are you suffering with any of these autoimmune disorders?

• Hashimotos hroiditis • Rheumatoid Arthritis • Graves Disease • Multiple Sclerosis • Scleroderma • Sjogre฀’s Sy฀drome • Type 1 Diabetes • Myasthe฀ia Gravis • A฀kylosi฀g Spo฀dylitis • Per฀iscious A฀emia

• Lupus • ALS • Psoriasis • Vasculitis • Celiac Disease • Croh฀’s Disease • Addiso฀’s Disease • Urticaria (Hives) • Eczema • Ray฀auds

Medications are not always the long term answer.

Medications can give you temporary relief but they DO NOT ADDRESS THE UNDERLYING CAUSE of your immune imbalance. All medications have side effects. These side effects can be more detrimental than the original symptoms sometimes.

Did you know that medications to treat autoimmune conditions can WEAKEN your immune system and lead to infections and immune degenerative conditions including cancer? There is a time to use medications but not before a NATURAL way to manage the underlying imbalance.

So how do I help people with autoimmu฀e disorders? I use a combination of specific NEUROLOGICAL protocols a฀d NUTRITION recommendations… Neuro-Metabolic Therapy.

Your Brai฀ (฀ervous System) co฀trols all other systems of the body. It controls your immune system. digestive system, e฀docri฀e (hormo฀e) system… so if you have an immune system imbalance or autoimmune condition, evaluating and managing the nervous system is required for optimal improvement.

Your immune system.

There are 2 parts to the front line defense of your immu฀e system… TH1 (white blood cells) a฀d TH2 (a฀tibody respo฀se). hese 2 parts should work in balance together. But when you are suffering from an autoimmune disorder, one part is out of bala฀ce (domi฀a฀t). his leads to an imbalance in TH3 which in turn leads to an autoimmune response.

Testimonials I was diag฀osed with Graves Disease (autoimmu฀e thyroid) three years ago. My endocrinologist recommended surgery to remove my thyroid and put me on medication for the rest of my life. I searched for an alternative treatment to save my thyroid and found Dr. Forzley. Through comprehensive lab testing he found out what was causing my immune system to attack my thyroid. I have been receiving treatments and following his recommendations exactly and my lab numbers are now normal, my endocrinologist is happy, my medication has been reduced in half and I feel better. I highly recommend Dr. Forzley and his natural approach.

Sama฀tha R. I sufered from u฀bearable itchi฀g caused by Hives (chro฀ic autoimmu฀e Urticaria) for over 33 years. Steroid medicatio฀s helped the symptoms temporarily but the side effects were bad.

After an in-depth blood and metabolic analysis, Dr. Forzley found the cause of my problem. After 4-5 months of strictly following his recommendations, my hives are completely gone and I feel great.

Cheryl P. If your immune system is not managed properly, your condition can worsen, result in a poor quality of life, cause a shortening of the length of your life and cause other autoimmune disorders.

Holistic Therapy can manage autoimmune conditions by: 1) finding and balancing the underlying cause.

2) lowering the self destructive effects of the immune system.

3) using natural therapies that work with your body.

I can work with your immune system NATURALLY a฀d bala฀ce the TH1, TH2, TH3 a฀d TH17. You can never be cured of an autoimmune disorder.

BUT, you can get symptom relief and calm down the immune attack on you own body. You must get a detailed immune system evaluation followed by specific recommendation based on those tests.

Guess what stimulates TH1?Vitami฀ C. But if you are TH1 domi฀a฀t, Taki฀g vitami฀ C will WORSEN your immu฀e respo฀se. hat’s right worsen. We need to identify which part of your immune system is dominant in order to calm down the immune system.

I do฀’t treat or cure autoimmu฀e disorders.

By using specific neurological and nutritional protocols, I help to decrease your body’s i฀lammatio฀, detoxify your body, bala฀ce TH1, TH2, TH3 a฀d TH17 which NATURALLY boosts your immune system. THAT is how I address autoimmune disorders.

Herrick Middle School teacher resigned over nude photos, documents show

DOWNERS GROVE — A District 58 middle school teacher resigned last year over scantily clad pictures of herself stored on a school computer and accusations that she might have emailed them to a minor, according to records.

Kimberly Mason, a former language arts teacher at Herrick Middle School, resigned in late August and forfeited her state teaching license rather than face termination from the district, according to a legal memo from the Illinois State Board of Education.

she denied emailing them to a minor, according to the memo. She surrendered her license Aug. 27.

No criminal charges were filed in the incident.

District officials first became aware of the potential inappropriate activity soon after Mason’s husband told Glendale Heights police in August that he suspected his wife was having an affair with a former student, now a 16-year-old high school junior, according to a police report.

The report was filed on a Friday, and school officials were notified on the following Monday, Cremascoli said in a phone interview this week.

The allegations that Cremascoli then passed on to the state board of education — including that Mason might have emailed inappropriate photos to a minor — came directly from police, Cremascoli said.

Citing the privacy of personnel is-

sues, Cremascoli declined to say if the district discovered anything else or what specifically led the school board to want to fire Mason two weeks later.

Neither Mason nor her husband could be reached before press time.

The couple filed for divorce in late August, according to DuPage County Circuit Court records.

After the police report was filed, the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services was notified, and an investigation found the report of abuse was “indicated” — which means an investigator found “credible evidence” of abuse, a spokesman said Monday.

But — as Cremascoli noted — the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office investigated, and prosecutors do not plan to file charges.

On Aug. 23, Downers Grove School District Superintendent Kari Cremascoli told the state board that district officials were planning to fire Mason “after they found evidence of inappropriate use of school computers,” according to the memo between two attorneys in the general counsel office.

“Dr. Cremascoli alleged that Ms. Mason had pictures of herself clad in underwear or nude stored on her school computer and may have emailed them to a minor,” according to the memo, which was obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request.

The District 58 school board agreed to let Mason resign instead if she also surrendered her teaching certificate.

Mason admitted having pictures on her school computer “that showed her clad in underwear and less,” but

“After reviewing everything, whatever the allegations were, they didn’t rise to elevation of criminal prosecution,” said Paul Darrah, a spokesman for the state’s attorney’s office.

The case is reminiscent of one last year at Benet Academy in Lisle, except in that instance the state’s attorney brought criminal charges.

In September, the school’s former president pleaded guilty to misdemeanor obscenity after images of an “adult sexual nature” were found on his school computer.

In the case at Benet, however, someone else had viewed the images.

On the other hand, Cremascoli said she does not believe the district acted rashly in the disciplinary measure.

For district administrators, all decisions ultimately come down to the welfare of students, she said.

“The safety and welfare of our students is our top priority,” Cremascoli said. “When and if potential issues arise — whatever those issues are — we act swiftly and prudently to ensure the safety of our students.”

The reasons for Mason’s departure were not publicly released at the time, and the allegations were first reported Monday by the Chicago Tribune.

Cremascoli said the district chose to treat the matter as it would any personnel matter and not disclose the unproven accusations. She defended that decision again on Monday.

“There wasn’t anything to share, and I’m very confident that the district acted exactly as it should have,” Cremascoli said.

8POLICE REPORTS

Lottery scam reported Police were called to investigate a deceptive practice last week but were unable to dissuade a Downers Grove woman from sending money in what appeared to be a lottery scam. About 1:20 p.m.

Jan. 29, employees at PNC Bank, 401 Ogden Ave., told police that a woman had attempted to withdraw $2,500 from her account which, she told bank workers, she was planning to send to a lottery company as insurance before they would send her the full sum of her winnings. Bank employees notified police after the woman ignored their warnings of the apparent scam. Officers went to the woman’s residence, and when they arrived, she was speaking on the phone with a person who identified herself as a representative

PULPITIS Q: What is Pulpitis?

A: We’ll start with the ‘pulp’ part of the word. The pulp is the most vital part of the tooth, containing the blood vessels, connective tissue and nerves that keep the tooth alive. It is protected in what’s called the pulp chamber by a layer of material called dentin and by the hard enamel shell of the tooth.

When the pulp gets infected and inflamed as a result of bacteria penetrating through a cavity, the condition is called pulpitis. You’ll recognize the condition by the long, throbbing ache it causes. The most common symptom of pulpitis is increased sensitivity in the tooth to any stimuli, like cold or hot, and touch. When decay has reached only the dentin, you’ll have short stabbing pain. Pulpitis can range from mild to severe.

Depending on the severity of the infection, it’s possible to reverse pulpitis. This would involve relatively conservative treatment like cleaning out decay and filling the cavity. But in cases where the pulpitis has developed as to be irreversible, the patient will most likely require root canal therapy, which involves removing the pulp. Ask your dentist for ways to keep your teeth safe from conditions like pulpitis.

FYI ...

DOWNERS GROVE — After a top finish last month at regionals, Downers Grove’s synchronized skating squad is heading on to compete at the national level for the first time in three years.

Now with a month to prepare, coaches say the girls are headed into the championships focused and determined.

At the regional contest in Kalamazoo, Mich., the last week of January, the Dazzlers finished a close second out of 12 teams, with the top four earning a trip to the 2013 U.S. Synchronized Skating Championships.

The intermediate squad is made up of 19 girls aged 12 and 18. Sixteen of them perform a three-and-a-half minute routine at competition, where judges score them based on the difficulty of the planned routine as well as the execution — taking into account the speed, unison and clarity of the footwork.

The squad will perform essentially that same routine at nationals on Feb. 28 in Plymouth, Mich. The team last went to nationals in 2010, where they finished eighth. Before that, the team took 10th place in 2008.

This year, the squad is determined to score even higher, program director Barb Foltz said in a phone interview last week.

“I think they’re going into it knowing all their hard work has paid off, and they’re determined,” Foltz said. “It’s like a ‘game on’ thing.”

The intermediate Dazzlers wasn’t the only squad to perform well in Kalamazoo last month.

The open juveniles — the age group just below the intermediates — continued a dominating season and won first place. That makes them Midwestern Sectional Open Juvenile Champions for the sixth year out of the past seven.

The open juveniles do not compete nationally, so they will cheer on their older teammates as they wait for their chance to join the intermediates, Foltz said.

Katie Bartlett (from left), 17, of Westmont; Marissa Weber, 14, of Clarendon Hills; and Madison Taylor, 13, of Woodridge, skate with the Dazzlers open juvenile synchronized ice skating team in an exhibition for family and friends Nov. 28 at the Downers Grove Ice Arena.

The Dazzlers includes synchronized skaters from across the region who practice at the Downers Grove Ice Arena.

“ A Doctor’s Confession to the Village of Downers Grove” Dear Friend, Confessions are difficult, but I wanted to set the record straight. In order to do this, I first need to give you some history.

A few years ago, I met Kelly. She had been suffering from debilitating cluster headaches, a severe form of migraines that occur daily. She was failing out of school and had become depressed due to her feeling of helplessness and unrelenting pain. She sought treatment from neurologists, ophthalmologists, dentists, ENT’s, and was only offered an array of drugs with awful side effects. Finally, she was referred to a chiropractor. Within a week, her headaches were gone.

She has been free of these clusters for years now, and filled with regret only

that she had not gone to this doctor sooner.

This is where I come in; I helped Kelly with these headaches, as I have helped many patients with various health problems.

Several times a day my patients thank me for helping them with their health problems. But I can’t really take credit.

My confession is that I’ve never healed anyone of anything. What I do is perform a specific spinal adjustment to remove nerve pressure, and the body responds by healing itself. We get tremendous results. It’s as simple as that.

Although Chiropractic faces many skeptics, the studies speak for themselves, like the Virginia study that showed 99% of patients who saw

a Chiropractor were satisfied with the results. Studies show that chiropractic can double your immune capacity naturally, which keeps you from getting sick, saving money on medical bills.

There is no reason for you to suffer even one more day, so I am now offering the initial Exam, Consultation and X-Rays for only $20. This is a $250 value so I can only accept a limited number of patients.

My goal is to help as many people heal themselves as possible. Call me at 630435-6461 and see if I can help you.

Main Street Chiropractic is located at 5157 Main St., Suite 200 in Downers Grove. I look forward to adding your success story to the list!

Dr. Mike DeCubellis, D. C.

Village seminar to detail incentives in stormwater fund DOWNERS GROVE — Village officials will offer an educational session this month for residents on Downers Grove’s new stormwater utility — and some of the incentives available to cut down on costs.

The seminar will be held at 7 p.m. Feb. 21 at the Lincoln Center, 935 Maple Ave. With the stormwater fund that was introduced this year, Downers Grove will now be paying for stormwater sewer projects with a village-wide fee, rather than with the property tax revenue that was used in the past. Fees are calculated based on the amount of impervious area — such as the roof, driveway or patio — on a given lot.

But residents can reduce their monthly stormwater fee through incentives. The village will offer credits for installing rain barrels or other conservation tools.

At the presentation, village staff and Jim Kleinwachter of the Conservation Foundation will provide an educational presentation to residents on the benefits of water conservation and stormwater management. They will also offer information for residents interested in pursuing the incentives such as rain barrels, rain gardens or permeable pavers.

Continued from page 5 “We work the crowd,” Nadeau said. “‘Oh, you want to see a smurf? You’ll see a smurf.’”

Last week, Nadeau’s ice artists made their way through a little more than half of the sculptures, most of them following the event’s theme “Love is in the Air.” Some businesses either picked iconic symbols representing their line of work — look for beer mugs at both Ballydoyle Irish Pub, 5157 Main St., and Emmett’s Ale House, 5200 Main St. — while others stayed with traditional Valentine’s Day images, often with a twist. M&M Orthopaedics will be represented by a cupid sporting a bow and arrow and a cast on his arm.

Behind some of the designs are some touching personal stories.

Mike Geisen, owner of My Favorite Toy Store, opted for a replica of Philadelphia’s iconic “LOVE” sculpture to stand outside his shop at 5137 Main St. He picked it in memory of his wife, who died four years ago.

“I have a picture of my wife and I in front of it,” he said. “So it’s kind of a memorial.”

The statues will be delivered as early as Friday, depending on the weather.

“As long as the weather is not causing them to melt Friday night, they’ll be out Friday morning,” said Erin Venezia, marketing director for the Downers Grove Downtown Management Corp., which is organizing the event.

The forecast calls for a high of 41 Friday, which is par for this warm winter. In January, the average high temperature in the Chicago area was nearly 36 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.

Warm temperatures and direct sunlight obviously do not bode well for ice sculptures, Nadeau said, but even worse can be rain. Days of freak winter weather — like last week’s 60 degrees and raining — are worst of all.

“You got warmer-thanice rain hitting the ice, hurting it really badly, really quickly,” he said.

But warm weather is not all bad, Nadeau said. It brings out the crowds and lets them enjoy all the festival has to offer.

“If it’s going to be a 6-below wind chill, you might come out, buy you’re sure as hell not going to stay out,” he said.

Highway department offers many services The Downers Grove Township supervisor’s department, in cooperation with the highway department, is looking to form a citizens response team to help with emergencies.

The $5,000 yearly cost would be split between the two departments, with most of the cost being used for volunteer training. The only township to have an active Community Emergency Response Team program is Milton Township.

One of the beneficial services the CERT program provided in Milton was to aid the highway department with storm damage cleanup after this past summer’s microburst. Members of the CERT removed limbs and brush from the right of way to the highway crews, which chipped the debris nonstop into trucks.

More recently, the Milton CERT program helped the DuPage County Sheriff’s Department with a search-and-rescue call at the Morton Arboretum.

If you are interested in volunteering for the CERT program, go to miltonCERTsignup@ aol.com, email Executive Director Ralph Hinkle at miltoncorps2@aol.com or call 630-668-1616.

To the Editor: “Hospital hits snag in posting big banner,” according to a recent Chicago Tribune article.

Officials at Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital recently petitioned the village of Downers Grove to erect a “temporary” 1,200-square-foot banner on a west facing tower that could stay put for up to 365 consecutive days, twice as long as current regulations allow.

The Downers Grove Plan Commission voted against the measure, and for this I applaud them.

We don’t need our community festooned with billboards.

The article further reports that Laura Neiberg, vice president for ancillary services and community for the hospital, asked the council to consider Good Samaritan’s status as the village’s largest employer. This attempt to throw her weight around under the auspices of Good Sam is not the act of a good neighbor.

We have an ordinance with DuPage County regarding parking restrictions on all streets during the winter months when it snows 1 inch or more. We would appreciate it if residents would keep all vehicles off the street whenever a snowfall is predicted so that we can use our plowing/salting equipment more efficiently. With everyone’s cooperation, we will provide the best job of snow and ice removal possible.

Continued from page 16 America is $16 trillion in debt; nearly 50 percent of Americans receive money or some type of “entitlement” payment from the federal government; the Middle East is in a total meltdown; and Rihanna says she is getting back together with Chris Brown.

Of all the horrible things that our country is facing at this moment in history, immigration reform is what President Obama is concentrating on. Why is immigration reform the most important issue for the Democrats and Obama? The answer is very simple: votes and power!

I propose the following legislation be passed by Republicans immediately. All illegal aliens currently in the country are given legal status up to and including citizenship with the stipulation that the recipients of such generosity can never obtain the right to vote.

All Obama wants is for these folks to share in the American

dream, isn’t it? I would be willing to bet that Obama and his posse would drop all interest in immigration reform faster than Chuckie Schumer making his way to a television camera if the illegals were not able to vote!

Then again, since Obama has no regard for Congress, the Senate, the court, our Constitution or rule of law, he would simply issue an executive order striking down the provisions denying the right to vote to the newly minted citizens.

Remember this fellow Americans: When Dictator Obama says he is doing the right thing for the good of the people or the country, grab your wallet — and, for that matter, your gun — on the way down to grabbing your ankles.

What a country!

CHANGES I’VE SEEN IN HEARING AID TECHNOLOGY

By Audrey G. Freeman, Au.D., Dr. of Audiology Our office is celebrating 10 years in business, and I have been an audiologist for over 25 years. In that time, hearing aid technology has radically changed. I am amazed at how I adjust devices to help our patients.

Years ago, the only way to make an adjustment on a hearing aid was by using tiny screwdriver to turn tiny controls on the devices; but it was difficult to be precise in the adjustments, and the modifications that I could make were limited. That got me thinking of how much the hearing aid fittings have changed over the years I’ve been in practice.

Just in the past few years, I have seen a leap in the quality and variations of devices we can provide. One of the most amazing advancements is that some hearing airs can connect wirelessly to the television, stereo, and cell phone to provide accurate amplification for the patient’s hearing loss. I’ve had a number of couples tell me that this has saved their marriage. Now the television can be turned down to the level that the spouse with better hearing likes while the person with the hearing loss can easily (with no wires or cords) hear the volume they prefer. The TV volume can also be turned to the minimum level if one person would like to read in quiet while the person

with the wireless hearing aid can enjoy their program while in the same room. My husband uses this device and even I marvel at this invention. We can demonstrate this in our office.

The shape and sizes of hearing aids has also evolved over the years. Many aids are lightweight and hidden behind the ear for extreme comfort, easy acceptance for new users, and cosmetically appealing. One company has redesigned the in-the-ear devices to greatly reduce wind noise. There are even aids that fit deep into the ear canal.

CROS (pronounced cross) aids are used for people who cannot hear in one ear, and the sound directed at the poor ear is easily transferred to the better side. In the past there has only been very limited technology to choose from for this situation.

Recently these CROS aids have been redesigned, and they now take advantage of the advancements on digital computer adjustments.

People with severe tinnitus (noise in the ears) now have hearing aids options available that can help them even more that traditional devices. This aid combines a very good quality hearing aid with an adjustable noise generator.

Even my patients with severe to profound hearing losses can now take advantage of technology to help with feedback (whistling) of their devices and the digital computer adjustments.

If you had a previous bad experience with hearing aids, and you have not tried any of the newer technology available, give your professional audiologist a call to make an appointment for a consultation to find out what’s available for your particular situation.

Animal Care and Reproductive Services, LLC takes your dog’s and cat’s teeth very seriously! Did you know that dogs and cats should not have “doggie” or “kitty” breath? Did you know that bad breath can be a sign of gingivitis and other problems with your animal’s oral health?

A healthy mouth is important to maintain a healthy dog or cat. When your pet’s teeth accumulate a lot of tartar, the tarter provides a perfect place for bacteria to grow. As the bacteria on your pet’s teeth and gums grow, the gums become irritated and they allow the bacteria to get into your pet’s body through the gaps created between the gums and teeth, just like in people! Once that gross bacteria has gained entrance into your pet’s body, it can settle in various organs, like the heart or the kidney, and cause greater problems with your pet’s health. Because of this, dental health is especially important in older pets, or pets with other health concerns.

Daily brushing will help reduce tartar and bacterial accumulation and gingivitis, however, like people, your pet needs a trip to his or her dentist for a thorough teeth and gum cleaning that brushing cannot provide. ACRS offers full dental health services. We have a state of the art ultrasonic dental scaler, much like your dentist uses on you. We follow each scaling with a thorough polishing and then finish your pet’s dental cleaning with a special sealant to help prevent accumulation of tartar and harmful bacteria. Schedule an appointment today so we can check your pet’s teeth and let you know if it is time for your dog or cat to have a dental cleaning!

If you schedule an exam for February 11, 2013, Dental Health Check-up Day, you and your pet will receive a free dental health gift with the exam*! *while supplies last

Bring in this coupon to receive $10.00 OFF your pet’s dental exam!

SNOW REMOVAL The Village's goal is to maintain safe travel routes during and following a snow event, as well as to restore mobility for the traveling public within a reasonable time frame following winter storm events.

Snow and ice control operations begin when hazardous road surfaces are expected. Depending on conditions, an application of liquid anti-icer or road salt is applied to the pavement. Plowing begins after snow accumulates to 1" or more.

To ensure streets with the highest traffic volume are cleared first, streets are prioritized, based on measured traffic volumes. For more information visit www.downers.us and click on Snow Removal.

Snow Reminders Parking on streets is prohibited between 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. when three or more inches of snow have fallen. It is against Village ordinance to shovel, place, or blow snow or ice onto the street, sidewalk or any right-of-way. Please remember to be a good neighbor and shovel your sidewalk.

The Village asks for residents’ help in keeping fire hydrants cleared from snow and ice. If a hydrant is located near your home and you have the means to clear it, please do so. Cleaning the area around a hydrant can save precious minutes for firefighters during an emergency.

Paper shredding (3 box limit) will also be available.

Village Council meetings are held the first, second, and third Tuesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. in the Village Hall Council Chambers at 801 Burlington Avenue.

ICE SCULPTURE FESTIVAL “LOVE IS IN THE AIR” February 8-10, 2013 (Friday - Sunday) Enjoy the unique ice sculptures that will line downtown streets, while you enjoy the array of events happening all weekend.

Village Council meetings are broadcast live on DGTV-Ch. 6. The rebroadcast of these meetings can be seen Wednesday mornings at 9:00 a.m. and Thursday evenings at 7:00 p.m.

Stepping up her game Erin Gentile of Downers Grove to compete at World Irish Dancing Championships

By ALLISON HORNE msleditorial@shawmedia.com Seventeen-year-old Erin Gentile has come a long way since she was 8 and fell in love with an Irish dancer’s sparkly dress on stage. Now, the Downers Grove South High School junior is wearing a sparkly dress of her own, and is headed to the World Irish Dancing Championships — for the fourth time.

Gentile has been dancing for nine years with the Trinity Academy of Irish Dance, where she has emerged as one of the most promising competitors. At the Erin Gentile contests, dancers first compete in a pair for two rounds, and if the judges like what they see, dancers are called back to perform solo. To qualify for the World Championships, one must place in the top 10 percent at regionals or nationals.

This year, Gentile placed 21st at regionals, and automatically qualified for the World Championships, which will be held in Boston the last week of March.

Last year, Gentile placed in the top 100 at the World Championships, but this year, she’s got her sights set a little bit higher.

What are your goals?

This year, it’s to be in the top 50.

You do the first two rounds with other people, and if the judges like what they see, they recall you, and you’re in the top third, so you get to do a round by yourself. I’ve made it to the top third in every competition except at the World Championships.

You’ve been there so many times — do you think that gives you a leg up?

Yeah, I do. I usually get nervous, but this time, since I’ve been there so many times, I have a really good feeling about this one. I’m the kind of person that believes in hard work — I didn’t start with that much actual talent, but I have worked up to where I am.

What kind of work goes into preparing for something like that?

What we do for the World Championships is usually classes four days a week, and then I try to practice an hour and a half every day on my own that I don’t have practice. It seems like a lot, but I don’t mind it. I also run at Downers South. It’s a lot, but I enjoy everything.

Where do you see yourself taking Irish dancing?

It’s my passion and I’ve loved it since I started and I don’t want to stop — even if it’s not competing. I love performances and I love going to other countries and performing in other cultures. I don’t know what my schedule will be like, but I want to keep up with performances and traveling.

McNellis’ 3-pointer as time expires lifts Mustangs over Trojans

By JASON ROSSI rossi@shawmedia.com

It’s safe to say Scott McNellis and his teammates are going to remember this one for a while.

After all, it was McNellis’ threepointer at the buzzer that lifted Downers Grove South to a 42-39 boys basketball win over crosstown-rival Downers Grove North Saturday night at North.

“The guards did a really good job handling the ball and Danny (Spinuzza) gave me a really good pass,” said McNellis, who buried his shot from well beyond the three-point line. “Danny gave it to me right at the top of the key and right in my (shooting) pocket. I was looking for the high-low, so I was looking for Robert (Mara) cutting to the hoop, but it wasn’t there.”

So McNellis popped the shot from the right wing and set off bedlam as South’s sizable student section stormed the court.

“It’s a good way to finish off my career against Downers North,” McNellis said. “It was good to celebrate with all my teammates and the fans.”

North’s Myles Farley sank a pair of free throws with 1:38 left to tie the game at 39-39, answering Spinuzza’s three-pointer that gave South a 39-37 lead with 2:35 to play.

Following Farley’s free throws, the Mustangs held on to the ball and ran the clock down to under 10 seconds left. Spinuzza looked to the sideline. South head coach Jay Baum elected not to call timeout.

“I trust Danny unequivocally to make the right decision,” Baum said. “I trusted him to find the right guy, and he found the right guy.”

The last-second result was fitting of a game that was close throughout.

The Mustangs led 8-4 midway through the first quarter, but the Trojans went ahead 10-8 on Garrett Tierney’s three-pointer with 2:45 left in the opening. They led the rest of the half and went into the break with a 20-15 lead.

A 7-0 run to start the third quarter put South ahead 22-20, but Deivis Skirgaila hit back-to-back three-pointers to put North up 3029 going into the fourth quarter.

The Trojans’ led 37-32 with 6:25 left before a 7-0 South run, capped by Spinuzza’s trey, set the stage for the wild ending.

“McNellis hit a great shot,” North coach Jim Thomas said. “It Matthew Piechalak – mpiechalak@shawmedia.com was a great high school basketball game, and South just happened to Downers Grove South senior Scott McNellis shoots a make one more shot than us.” jumper Saturday at Downers Grove North.

Mustangs, Trojans send sizable crews to sectional wrestling SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA The wrestling teams from Downers Grove South and Downers Grove North were at separate regional tournaments, both dominated by one team.

But the Mustangs and Trojans will still be well-repre-

sented at this weekend’s Class 3A Shepard sectional tournament, which begins Friday and concludes Saturday.

South sends five to Shepard while North will have seven wrestlers at the sectional.

South’s Alex Anaya was the lone champion from the

two schools, winning the Naperville Central 160-pound title at Naperville Central with a 7-4 win over regional Batavia’s Jon Wagner.

Outlook: The Mustangs don’t necessarily have a player capable of dominating a game and putting the team on her back. Some might see that as a handicap, but South head coach Ellen O’Brien sees it as a positive as the playoffs approach.

“We’ve had moments where we’ve had multiple kids as our leading scorer, and it seems lately that we’ve been spreading it out even more,” O’Brien said.

“We don’t have a girl scoring a gazillion points; we’re pretty steady and even.”

Taking a long bus ride to play on Elk Grove’s home floor won’t be easy, but South ought to be ready for a challenge after playing a West Suburban Conference crossover game Wednesday and traveling to face Providence (one of the top seeds in Class 3A) on Friday.

The scorebook didn’t tell the whole story, but it certainly provided a lot of the details of Saturday’s girls basketball game between Downers Grove South and host Downers Grove North.

The Mustangs had four players with seven or more points, including two in double figures, as they outlasted the Trojans 47-40.

“I think we were incredibly balanced,” South coach Ellen O’Brien said. “It was a good win for us. We’ve had some injuries and sickness, and I thought our kids played really well.

I thought they played really well as a group.”

North used a 9-0 run to take a 15-9 lead on Sarah Costello’s mid-range jumper with 4:58 left in the second quarter. O’Brien called timeout to regroup her team, and the Mustangs answered with an 8-0 run, taking the lead for good on Kirsten Zemke’s bucket with 2:48 left in the first half.

The 8-0 surge was part of a larger 13-1 run to close the first half following the timeout.

South’s lead hovered between eight and 12 points for much of the second half, except when Jaida Green’s baseline jumper made it a 28-23 game with 37.3 seconds left in

the third quarter. South responded with an 8-2 surge to push the lead back to double digits.

The Trojans were down just 7-6 at the end of the first quarter, but head coach Stephen Bolt was looking for more out of his team early in the game.

“We didn’t look like we had a a lot of energy at the start of the game.

As the game went on we started to get going a little bit,” Bolt said.

“It’s tough right now. We’re missing some kids and we’re not deep off the bench, but the kids played really hard, and that’s the first step in moving our program in the right direction.”

Balanced South girls claim Downers Grove bragging rights

Class: 4A Sectional seed: No. 14 Regional: Elk Grove Regional opener: 7:30 p.m.

Monday vs. No. 19 Addison Trail Outlook: To say that North will be familiar with its first-round opponent would be putting it lightly. When all is said and done, the Trojans won’t have played another team more often this season than Addison Trail.

“We play Addison Trail Wednesday and then we play them again Monday. Playing a team two times in a row isn’t exactly the most fun, but that’s the way it is,” North head coach Stephen Bolt said. “It’ll be the second and third time we’ve seen them this year.

If we can play smart and execute and play together, we have a great chance to win.”

The Trojans topped the Blazers 59-37 in a West Suburban Conference crossover game Dec. 18, and they will play them again Wednesday in a West Suburban Conference crossover game.

Since that first meeting, North has gone 3-9, but Bolt believes one game is all the Trojans need

to get on a roll.

“We try to look forward to each game as a new opportunity to get things on the right track. We need a game where we’re able to do that,” Bolt said. “We’re getting better, but it’s also frustrating because the girls want to win and we’re just not seeing the reward of a win right now. But they’re coming to work, they’re getting better, and they’re working hard.

That’s all you can ask for.”

If North can repeat its earlier success against Addison Trail in the playoff opener, Wheaton North, the No. 3 seed in the sectional and the top seed in the regional field, would be waiting in a semifinal game at 6 p.m. Tuesday.

Though the Trojans did not play the Falcons in the regular season, they had plenty of chances to scout them as both teams competed at the Wheaton North holiday tournament.

Joe Nugent (126) and Sal Oceguera (220) won their final matches of the day in third-place matches to move on.

The Trojans had four wrestlers going for titles at Hinsdale Central, all of whom finished second.

Pat Walker (106), Straw Sopcic (120), Cullen Cummings (138) and Nick Bonomo (160) had runner-up finishes. It was Cummings’ first loss of the season.

Stop texting while driving To help people break the habit of texting and driving, technology companies are coming up with solutions. For instance, Xperia SmartTags by Sony can be put on a dashboard or a set of car keys and allow you to change your phone’s settings for driving by touching your NFC-enabled smartphone to the tag.

Smartphone applications can make this process even easier.

When paired with AT&T’s Drive Mode app, you can automatically disable your phone’s texting and calling capability. The app can be programmed to include an automatic message that’s sent to anyone who texts you while you’re behind the wheel.

CAR Q&A

Opening a shop Q: I am opening a three-bay repair shop and would like your opinion on companies that provide service repair information.

A: The first step is to listen to the customer and understand they are in your shop because they have a vehicle problem or just need routine service. I rely on Identifix and Alldata information services. The initial cost may scare you, but keep in mind both will save a lot of time, which equals to a lot of money saved.

34 CARS WE REMEMBER

More Nash-Kelvinator memories Q: Did a Nash ever pace the Indy 500? I say yes; my retired friends here at the nursing home say no.

We are all car crazy and racing fans. Can you tell us more about Nash and that era of the automobile? Elwood K., Worchester, Mass.

A: Elwood, you win!

Nash was the official pace car of the Indy 500 in 1947 and was driven by George W. Mason, president of Nash-Kelvinator. Mason was a marketing genius who used Nash automobiles in the “Superman” TV series, too.

As I’ve touched on in the past, Kelvinator and Nash formed a corporate merger in 1937 when Charles Nash, then CEO and president of Nash Motors, merged his company with George W. Mason’s Kelvinator Corp., known for refrigeration.

Mason thus began a major marketing campaign that to this day is respected as novel and very effective.

Concerning the Indy 500, it is “understood” that Tony Hulman, then president of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, “invited” Mason to have his Nash as the official pace car in 1947. In reality, and knowing of Mason’s marketing whiz, I wouldn’t be surprised if Mason arranged the deal with the Hulman family, as he knew of the marketing benefits pacing the Indy 500 would do for his Nash automobile. Incidentally, when Mason paced the field in 1947, it marked

This Nash was one of the 18 cars given to officials at the Indy 500 for their use by George W. Mason, president of Nash Kelvinator. At the 500 in 1947, a yellow Nash paced the field, while a gigantic tent was erected displaying numerous new Nash automobiles for fans and corporate types. PHOTO COMPLIMENTS OF INDIANAPOLIS MOTOR SPEEDWAY

GREG ZYLA

the first time an Indy 500 pace car was not a convertible, again giving credence to a possible Hulman-Mason “agreement” for the betterment

of both companies.

On race day, Mason drove the car while his riding partner was Indy 500 winner Wilbur Shaw. He also had actor and race fan Clark Gable pose for some publicity photos.

Gable was very interested in auto racing, and his movie with Barbara Stanwyck called “To Please A Lady” centered on Indy racing and was released in 1950.

But the Indy 500 was

much more than just a pace car experience for Mason. He provided 18 Nash vehicles for all the Indy officials and a fleet of new Nash cars displayed in a large tent for fan and corporate entertainment.

Mason was way ahead of the curve when it came to corporate entertainment, all while providing information on his Nash automobiles.

Mason died on Oct. 8, 1954, after his successful

negotiation of the merger of Nash and Hudson, which would be called American Motors. Thus, Mason is the godfather of American Motors, too.

Furniture show features trendy Metallic looks

By Patricia Sheridan Scripps Howard News Service

HIGH POINT, N.C. — There was a certain warmth at the Fall International Home Furnishings Market, and it wasn’t simply the smiling vendors anticipating a stronger season. It was the unmistakable glow of gold tones emanating from so many showrooms. Upholstery, hardware and veneers all had the Midas touch.

Getting the cold shoulder were the nickel, chrome and silver hues that have been dominant over the past decade.

“Rich gold colors and other 17th-century Baroque influences leapt to the forefront this fall from Dolce & Gabbana’s runway to our showroom,” said Heather Eidenmiller, director of brand development at Bernhardt Furniture.

The warmer ambience of brass, bronze, gold and even copper may herald a return to a consumer appreciation of higher-caliber furnishings, perhaps echoing the precious metal’s escalating value. Here is a sample of the manufacturers returning to the gold standard: � Bernhardt Furniture is-

sued a strong statement with the Fitzgerald sofa upholstered in gold velvet. Portia armless chairs are paired with the Brielle end tables and coffee table done in a patina brass base and ivory lacquered tops. The look speaks to a healthy bottom line. � Appreciating the value of all that glows is the Bill Sofield lighting collection for Baker. It includes the Valerian chandelier in antiqued white gold leaf covering steel leaves for a one-of-a-kind look.

If it seems that you can never quite diminish the size of your laundry pile, you’re not alone.

Designate one place in your home to be the laundry zone and sort through these time-saving tips: De-clutter and reorganize: Clear some space from your shelves to give yourself more room to work in the laundry room. Place a small basket or tray near the washer for collecting small items and loose change found in pockets.

Essentials at the ready: Keep frequently used items easily accessible by placing them on a shelf designed to fit on top of your washing machine. Store smaller items in stackable baskets or bins so they aren’t in the way.

Sort and go: Give everyone in the family their own small mesh laundry bag for items that tend to get lost and mixed-up such as socks and underwear. Collect the bags and throw them in the washer and dryer together so that everything stays sorted.

DID YOU KNOW...

Clothes lines save energy Using a clothes line instead of a dryer will save a lot of energy. It’s difficult to find hard numbers, but the Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star website indicates the average family does about 300 loads of laundry a year. Pacific Gas and Electric’s website estimates that it costs about 33 to 56 cents per load for gas dryers and about 12 to 15 cents per load for electric dryers. Based on these numbers, hanging clothes on a clothes line will save you about $40 to $45 a year if you own an electric dryer and about $100 to $170 a year if you own a gas dryer.

HEALTH WATCH

BRANDPOINT

By Family Features

High blood pressure is sometimes called the “silent killer” because it has no symptoms, except in extreme cases.

According to the American Heart Association, more than 76 million U.S. adults have been diagnosed with high blood pressure. The high force of blood flow can damage arteries, the heart, kidneys, eyes and the brain. If uncontrolled, high blood pressure increases the risk of heart disease and stroke, which are the leading causes of death in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Fortunately, there are steps you can take to get your high blood pressure under control.

Eat healthfully When it comes to eating healthfully to help keep blood pressure down, it’s not just about what to avoid - such as lowering your intake of saturated and trans fats, sodium and added sugars - but about what to add to your diet so it is rich in nutrients and fiber. In fact, many experts believe that antioxidants show great promise for reducing high blood pressure and supporting heart health.

To help keep blood pressure down, make sure your diet includes plenty of:

level management, cognitive functions and weight loss. In fact, results from a recent study from the University of Mississippi showed that pterostilbene had statistically significant results for blood pressure in adults.

Maintain a healthy weight

Fruits and vegetables Whole grains � High-fiber foods � Lean meats � Fat-free or low-fat dairy foods � Fish containing omega-3, such as salmon, trout and herring � Heart-healthy antioxidants One example of a hearthealthy antioxidant is pterostilbene, which is found naturally in blueberries. Studies have shown that pterostilbene may support heart health, anti-aging capabilities, glucose and oxidative stress� �

Being overweight raises your blood pressure and blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels, as well as lowering the amount of good cholesterol, according to the AHA. So losing even a little weight can reduce blood pressure in many overweight people. The best ways to do that are to modify your diet and get moving.

The Surgeon General recommends that adults engage in moderate physical activities for at least 30 minutes on most days of the week. These activities: � Can be performed in episodes of at least 10 minutes, and can be spread throughout the week. � Include flexibility and stretching exercises.

Include muscle strengthening activity at least two days each week.

Talk to your doctor or health care provider about how you can increase your physical activity safely and modify your diet to help you get to a healthy weight. �

Don’t smoke Smoking damages blood vessels and speeds up the hardening of the arteries, making it a major risk for heart disease and stroke. If you don’t smoke, don’t start. If you do smoke, talk to your doctor about programs to help you quit.

Healthy home, healthy life Even with the best intentions, many of us who resolve to live a healthier lifestyle in 2013 will fall back into old, familiar habits much sooner than we would like. To maintain motivation and create a routine that is sustainable and effective, it’s important to invest in the right tools for every room in your house.

Kitchen: Diet is key to overall wellness, and proper nutrition will help you remain energized and motivated to make other healthy strides. With the right tools, such as a highquality blender, creating a variety of tasty, wholesome options is simple.

Bathroom: To monitor the benefits of your healthy habits and find motivation to continue, invest in a digital scale.

Although many scales come with features such as body-index calculators and memory storage of your latest weigh-ins, consistent readings are the most important way to follow your progress.

Bedroom: Sleep is crucial to living well. If you wake up with aches and pains, can feel coils or see depressions in the surface, or have had your current mattress for more than 10 years, you likely need to purchase a new one.

BOOMER HEALTH

Heart health tips More baby boomers and older adults are taking a proactive approach to heart health.

Following these steps can help you take control. � Increasing your heart rate through daily exercise can help keep your heart healthy and help you live longer.

Good activities include walking, swimming and bicycling. � Fresh fruits and vegetables are fantastic for heart health - make it your goal to eat a variety of colors every day.

Whole grains and fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids are good choices also. � Consult your doctor about heart-healthy supplements. � An annual physical is the cornerstone of preventative care.
