Healthy living

in 2014Sullivan’s Foods produce stocker Mackenzie Ioder

makes sure shoppers have a wide selection of fresh fruits and vegetables as

they start 2014. As always, a perennial New Year’s resolution is to become

healthier in the new year, often through getting

more exercise and eating healthier foods. According

to Medical News Today, eating the right foods can

not only help a person maintain a healthy body weight, but also improve

the person’s overall sense of well-being and reduce

the risk of developing diseases. The Top 10

healthy foods, according to Medical News Today, are

apples, almonds, broccoli, blueberries, leafy green

vegetables, oily fish, sweet potatoes, avocados, wheat germ and oatmeal. And as with all New Year’s resolu-

tions, they are kept one day at a time.

Don’t wait too long to return that gift!CHICAGO — The days after Christmas brings

another rush to the stores — the return of unwanted Christmas gifts. But consumers need to be aware the return policies for some retailers have changed and may not necessarily be to the benefit of the consumer.

A number of big named retailers have shortened the amount of time they give for returns and have made specific changes to their policies that effect dif-ferent types of merchandise. Impacted most will be returns of electronics and appliances. The number of days allowed for these returns have been shortened considerably compared to previous years.

“Many retailers can change policies to place restrictions on returning items this year” said Steve J. Bernas, president and CEO of the Better Busi-ness Bureau serving Chicago and Northern Illinois. “Where consumers have been used to having as many as 45 days to return their unwanted gifts, in some cases, that has been reduced to 30 days but can be as few as nine days”

These changes mean consumers must take extra care in understanding the return policies of the stores where they shop and should not rely only on what they may be told by a sales clerk. They should look for and read the store’s written policy, which by law must be displayed.

Bernas added, “Shoppers need to keep in mind that returns are a customer service and are not required by law unless the merchandise is defective.”

For the giver and receiver alike, if you must return an item be prepared:

• Know the store’s return policy: Ask what specific return policy applies to the item you are purchasing.

Do not assume the regular return policy applies to sales or clearance items. Some merchants consider sales items to be final.

• Save your receipts: They are usually needed for returns, and ask for a gift receipt.

• Keep the original packaging: Don’t remove elec-tronics or similar products from their boxes before wrapping as the original packaging may be required for a return.

• Know the online return policy: If you are shop-ping online, read the posted return policy before buying. If returns are permitted, be sure to print a copy of what procedures and time frame need to be followed, along with complete contact information for the business from which you are ordering.

• Returns are a courtesy: If you are the gift-recip-ient, do not assume you have the right to return or exchange an unwanted present. Like the shopper, you are bound by the merchant’s return policy.

• Understand unusual policies: As an example, health regulations, which can prohibit the return of certain items like hats and intimate apparel.

Consumers should be aware that retailers are reacting to yearly losses in the billions of dollars that are due to return fraud, and some have taken the additional step of using a computer database to track customer returns and catch fraudulent or excessive returns.

Those retailers that use “The Return Exchange” to monitor returns will ask customers for a driver’s license or some other government issued identifica-tion when he or she returns an item.

For additional information on Christmas returns go to www.bbb.org.

Girl Scout cookie time comes earlyGirl Scouts of Central Illinois

(GSCI) for the first time will take pre-orders for cookie sales. Starting Dec. 20, the girls began taking pre-orders using the traditional order card format. Direct sale of cookies will then begin on Feb. 3, 2014.

By introducing the opportunity to take pre-orders, cookie custom-ers are able to ensure supply of their favorite Girl Scout cookies, and troops get a solid base of how many boxes they need to order to fulfill the demand in their areas. Troops will then place their pre-orders as well as order extra cases they will use for direct customer sales.

“Last year was the first year Girl Scouts of Central Illinois used the direct sale format, and the troops were very successful. By using this format, troop profits increased by 25 to 35 percent; more girls earned free membership; participants earned 26 percent more Cookie Dough; and we had over 110 percent more girls reach the 250- and 500-box level. But the success did not come with-out a few growing pains,” said Pam Kovacevich, CEO of GSCI. “The pre-order approach will allow Girl Scouts to set higher and more accu-rate goals.”

The new cookie on the sheet this

year is Cranberry Citrus Crisp. Cook-ie lovers can also place their orders early for all their traditional favorites, including Thin Mints, Shortbread, Peanut Butter Patties, Peanut Butter Sandwiches, Caramel deLites, Lem-onades, and Thanks-A-Lots.

Girl Scouts of Central Illinois will also once again participate in Opera-tion Cookie Share. The effort to provide cookies to military troops domestically and overseas started in 2010. Since then, GSCI has provid-ed more than $825,000 worth of Girl Scout cookies to the women and men in our armed forces at home and abroad. In fact, Girl Scouts of Central Illinois were so successful that this achievement is entered in the Illinois Congressional Records.

“The cookie program is something our girls and the communities look forward to every year. Not only is it fun and exciting for the Girl Scouts, it teaches them a number of skills – both social and academic – that will help them grow as students and future business leaders,” Kovacevich added.

The Girl Scout Cookie Program has grown into a leading business and financial literacy program that is run by and for girls. The program provides an important ingredient for

leadership by helping girls develop five key skills:

• Goal setting• Decision making• Money management• People skills• Business ethicsThe financial literacy skills taught

through Girl Scouts have proven to be a key factor in shaping financial and personal success for alumnae. An impact study about the value of Girl Scouting reveals that Girl Scout alumnae have a higher income/socioeconomic status, a greater level of civic engagement, and are overall more successful than their non-Girl Scout peers (published by the Girl Scout Research Institute, 2012).

Founded in 1912, Girl Scouts of the USA is the world’s pre-eminent leadership development organiza-tion for girls with 8.2 million girl and adult members worldwide. Girl Scouts builds girls of courage, confi-dence and character who make the world a better place. Girl Scouts of Central Illinois serves 21,000 girls and 5,000 adult members annually in 38 counties throughout Central Illinois.

The “C” team, made up primarily of fourth-grade boys, has also seen suc-cess in their limited con-ference play, winning all but one game. They too will have a tournament for only fourth through sixth grade boys on Jan. 23-27 at Deer Park Grade School.

The basketball teams are coached by Buc Grey and Tony Clausen.

Prairie Conference teams include Cherry, Deer Park, Dimmick, Rhema Christian, St. Louis School, Lostant, Dalzell, and PCA. In non-conference play, PCA’s B team also beat Ohio Grade School, Peru Catholic, and Logan Junior High School.

PCA basketball includes eighth-grader Daniel Henrikson, seventh-graders Drew Grey, Sam Wolbrecht, Will Finley, and Jonathan Henrik-son; sixth-grader Wessley Baker; fifth-grader Gio Romagnoli; and fourth-graders Matthew Har-ris, Nick Mecum, Miguel Jones, Cozy Wolbrecht, Connor McKenney, Benja-min Henrikson, and Grae-ham Rumley.
