Briefs: Older phones to lose 911

More than a million cell phone users will lose access to 911 service on Feb. 19 after AT&T Mobility, Cellular One, Verizon Wireless and other providers turn off their analog networks. The move will affect people who have older cellular phones from donated phone programs or who have cell phones more than five years old. Not affected are digital phones that have text or instant messaging capabilities, Internet browsing capabilities, MP3 player or integrated camera or a SIM card. Anyone not sure if their phone will be affected should take it to a local cellular phone retail store for assistance. For more information, call the Lisle-Woodridge Fire Prevention Bureau at (630) 353-3030.

Heritage Y gets grant

The Heritage YMCA Group announced that its Safe 'n Sound before- and after-school program has been awarded a multiyear grant from the R.R. Donnelley Foundation. R.R. Donnelley is one of the world's largest printing companies. The grant comes as the YMCA is beginning its 2008 Strong Kids Campaign to raise $500,000 to ensure no child or family will be denied its services because of an inability to pay the cost to participate in its programs. The Heritage YMCA delivers before- and after-school care at more than 30 school sites in Naperville and Aurora.
