Everyone is welcome to this free event. Registration is encouraged, 630-971-1675.

Make a Resolution to Care for Your Teeth

Submitted by: Dr. James Derrico & Dr. Matthew Van Beek at College Square Dental

It’s that time: a new year, a fresh start, ambitious resolutions.

Lots of people focus new year efforts on personal achievements (getting that promotion at work) or health milestones (losing 20 pounds), but do you know anyone who is making oral health a priority in 2018? Probably not!

But the fact is, good oral health yields enormous benefits, and it doesn’t require long hours at the office or a gym membership. Getting back to the basics of health teeth and gums requires only five minutes a day.

The first four minutes? Brushing. Twice a day. Two minutes each time. Time yourself - it is important not to skimp on those two minutes. Your top and bottom sets of teeth each deserve a solid 60 seconds of firm but gentle cleaning.

The last minute? Flossing. Yes, it matters. A lot. Removing the food and sugars that get in between teeth is essential to keeping your pearly whites free of cavities, pain, and sensitivity. You probably don’t see or feel anything between your teeth (especially after a good two-minute brushing!), but it’s there. And it’s a feast for the bacteria that is ever-present in our mouths.

That’s it. Five minutes daily, and you are well on your way to achieving great oral health in 2018. Beyond the brushing and flossing, there are some simple strategies that can help as well. Drink water at the end of meals, or after eating or drinking during the day. This removes loose food particles, and even more importantly, reduces the amount of sugar and sticky residue on the teeth. Another simple trick? Take advantage of nature’s own toothbrushes: carrots, celery,

leafy greens, apples, and almonds. The texture of these foods, and their fiber content, help clean plaque and buildup from teeth as you chew.

Enjoy the new year, and good luck with your resolutions!

Car Burglaries Occurring in Area

The Village of Lisle, along with several neighboring communities, is again experiencing overnight burglar-ies in unlocked vehicles. Please help the Lisle Police Department deter these crimes by locking your car and removing all valuables from the vehicle. If you see something suspicious, please call 911. Lisle Police Officers will be happy to come out and check on something that doesn’t quite seem right.

Home Safety

Properly locked doors and windows, plus well-lighted entryways are the keys to effective home safety. The following is information for properly securing your home:

• Exterior Doors: These should be metal or solid wood; hinges should be strong, on the inside of the door, with non-removable or hidden pins. Peepholes or wide-angle door viewers allow you to safely see visi-tors at your doorstep.

• Locks: Utilizing these is the key. A lock will do you no good if you leave it unlocked. This is true for doors and windows. Deadbolts are preferred over keyed knobs because they can withstand twisting, turning, and prying. Additionally, double-cylinder deadbolts are preferred over single-cylinder as they require a key to open the lock from both the inside and outside; this is especially true for doors with glass win-dows within 40 inches of the lock (as an intruder cannot break the glass, reach through, and unlock the door without a key).

• Sliding Glass Doors: These offer easy entry into your home; however, you can install keyed locking devices to secure the door frame, adjust track clearances so the doors cannot be pushed out of their track, or put a piece of wood (like a thick broom handle) in the track of the closed door to prevent it from being opened.

• Windows: Most standard double-hung windows have thumb-turn locks between 2 window panels. These should not be the only thing you rely on, as they can be pried open or easily reached through a broken pane. An easy fix for this is the “pin trick”. Drill an angled hole through the top frame of the lower window, partially into the frame of the upper window, then insert a nail or eyebolt. The window cannot be opened until you remove the nail (in case of a fire, remember to remove the pin if you need to use the window for an exit). A second set of holes with the windows partially opened can be made so you can have ventilation without worrying about intrusion.

• Lighting: This is one of the most cost-effective methods for preventing burglaries. It gives the impression that someone is home, and eliminates dark shadows that are good for hiding. Timers on lights are an excellent way of “manning” your lighting. Motion-sensing lights are also an effective method of lighting.

• Landscaping: Keeping landscaping trimmed will prevent hiding places for criminals. Dense trees and bushes should be well lit.

A security inspection may point out a few simple things that a homeowner has overlooked. This is a free service offered by the Lisle Police Department and only takes about an hour to complete. Please call 630-271-4200 for more information.

Snow and Ice RemovalVillage of Lisle Public Works is committed to keeping motorists safe on Lisle roadways throughout the winter season. Remember, only main roads, school areas, intersections, hills and roadway curves will be salted to bare pavement condition. Secondary roads, dead ends and cul-de-sacs will only be spot salted at intersections. However, during ice storms, ALL roadways will be salted. The community will be notified when Lisle snow plows are making their rounds on the Village’s social media pages, (facebook.com/villageoflisle and twitter.Please note that state and county roads are not within the Village of Lisle’s snow and ice control. State roads include Ogden Avenue (Route 34) and Lincoln Avenue (Route 53). County roads include Maple Avenue, Yackley Avenue, College Road, Naperville Road, Naper Boulevard, and Warrenville Road. If you have concerns about state roads, contact IDOT at (847) 705-4000; contact DuPage County with concerns about county roads at (630) 407-6900. As winter progresses, keep the following safety tips in mind:• Respect the plows. Snow plows are

large, heavy machines, and visibility may be poor in heavy snow or blizzard conditions. Slow down and give snow plows ample room to maneuver so that all are safe and sound.

• Before winter arrives, check the condition and stability of your mailbox. If your mailbox is leaning or the post is not firmly anchored in the ground, snow plows might inadvertently knock it down as they clear large amounts of heavy, wet snow from roadways.

• When shoveling snow from driveways, move snow onto the parkway and/or yard and not into the street. This will help avoid creating dangerous conditions for both motorists and pedestrians.

• Residents are encouraged to shovel out fire hydrants that are on or near their property, and clear sidewalks of snow for the safety of all pedestrians.

• Please help your neighbors. For many residents, age or medical conditions make it difficult to shovel snow without risking their health.

TIDBITS by Paula Gleason

This is lighter tasting and less custardy than traditional versions with a pleasant crunch on top. (A great use for leftover croissants)

1/2 T unsalted butter 3 croissants, cut into 1/2” cubes 1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled, 1/4” diced 1 C heavy cream 1 3-inch cinnamon stick, broken into thirds 2 large eggs 2 T packed light brown sugar 1/4 C + 1 T granulated sugar 1/2 C apple juice Cinnamon or Vanilla ice cream

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375 degrees. Melt the butter in a 10” heavy skillet over medium heat, then add apple and cinnamon pieces and saute over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally until apples are pale golden, about 3 minutes. Add the brown sugar and cook, stirring until sugar is melted and apples are slightly caramelized, about 2 minutes. Add juice and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally until apples are tender and juice has evaporated, 3 to 4 minutes. Discard cinnamon pieces. Transfer apples to an ungreased 2-quart shallow baking dish (9” square pan), spreading evenly, then spread croissant cubes evenly over apples. Whisk together cream, eggs and 1/4 c sugar, then pour cream mixture evenly over croissant cubes, pressing them down slightly to moisten. Sprinkle top evenly with remaining tablespoon of sugar. Bake uncovered until pudding is set and top is lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer baking dish to a rack to cool 10 minutes. Serve warm with accompanying ice cream!
