Orland welcomes more family fun to town 

Ryan Esguerra 

Freelance Reporter 

The residents of Orland 

Park have two new familyfriendly 

entertainment venues 

to visit. 

Gizmos Fun Factory and 

Sky Zone both recently 

opened their doors in Orland 

Park, right next door to each 

other. 

The businesses are a new 

addition to a community 

already well known for its 

restaurant and shopping districts. 

“In Orland Park, we have 

plenty of places to shop and 

a variety of places to eat,” 

Mayor Dan McLaughlin 

said. “It is nice to give our 

residents two new places to 

go to, so that they don’t have 

to travel outside of the town 

looking for entertainment.” 

Located on Orland Square 

Drive, Sky Zone and Gizmos 

offer unique venues for 

families who are looking for 

a fun way to spend time together. 

“When we were looking 

for places to open, we recognized 

Orland Park to be 

a booming area,” said Kyle 

Ropac, co-owner of Gizmos. 

“It pulls from so many communities, 

so there is such a 

high ceiling here.” 

Sky Zone features dozens 

of attractions for people of 

all ages. One of more than 

150 nationwide locations, 

Sky Zone specializes in offering 

a trampoline park. In 

addition to the trampoline 

park, Sky Zone has rockclimbing 

walls, a ninja warrior 

course, four separate 

party rooms, food and drink 

for children, as well as a 

chill zone that offers food 

and drinks for adults. 

“We thought that Orland 

Park would be a good place, 

because we were noticing 

people from the area at our 

Tinley Park residents Edward (left) and Emil Schullo joust 

at Sky Zone. 

other locations,” Sky Zone 

Operations Manager Ross 

Carmody said. “We were 

listening to what the people 

wanted, and we are excited 

to bring them a Sky Zone so 

close to home.” 

Carmody added that he 

hopes the new business will 

attract people from all over 

the suburbs, not just those 

living in Orland Park. 

“I want this to be a hot 

spot for all people in the 

south towns to come and 

have a good time.” 

Gizmos Fun Factory offers 

its own unique set of 

attractions meant for family 

fun. The 47,000-square foot 

indoor event center offers 

laser tag, go-karts, bumper 

cars, climbing walls and 

spaces to rent for parties. 

Gizmos also has a bar and 

restaurant area for adults. 

“Typically, most people in 

the suburbs go to the bigger 

cities to enjoy a place like 

this,” Ropac said. “We have 

created a place that people 

can come and have a good 

time that isn’t over an hour 

away.” 

With the separate businesses 

right next door to 

each other, it is reasonable 

to assume that they might 

compete for customers. But 

Ropac said both are in contact 

with one another, and he

No one was injured by the

The police later identified 

those men as Ramsey T. 

Shelby, 22, of Orland Park 

and Ahmad R. Ismail, 22, of 

Tinley Park. 

Shelby was arrested and 

charged with two felonies: 

unlawful possession of a 

weapon by a felon and aggravated 

discharge of a 

firearm, according to the release. 

Shelby was later transported 

to Cook County Jail. 

Cook County Judge Peter 

Felice has issued a warrant 

for Ismail, who is not in 

custody and is wanted for a 

charge of aggravated fleeing 

and eluding. 

The bond on the warrant 

reportedly is $50,000.

Winston’s Market celebrates 20 years of Irish traditions with Orland co-owner 

F. Amanda Tugade 


The Gaelic Breakfast. 

Just judging by the name 

itself, one can already suspect 

that the grand meal 

would be the perfect way to 

start the day. The dish brings 

together a set of meats, including 

the Irish sausage, 

Irish bacon and black and 

white pudding. Eggs, grilled 

tomatoes and a choice of 

toast and jam round out the 

dish. 

And brothers Michael 

and Jerry Winston hold that 

breakfast close to them, as 

it has become a reminder of 

their family’s heritage and 

culture. 

Michael, 49, of Tinley 

Park, and Jerry, 47, of Orland 

Park, are owners of 

Winston’s Market, a neighborhood 

grocery store in 

Tinley Park that carries 

Irish goods. From candies to 

corned beef, the market has 

transformed into a staple for 

not only Tinley’s families 

but also for those living in 

the Chicago area. 

“Every ethnicity has its 

own staple, its own unique 

item, and that’s what the 

Irish have,” Jerry said. 

He explained further that 

what separates the Irish sausage 

from the rest is its taste. 

“Everyone here in America 

is raised on breakfast 

links where it has sage in 

[them], and Irish sausage is 

predominantly sausage without 

sage,” he said. “It’s a real 

mild flavor, and that’s what 

the Irish have come to love. 

It also has a cracker meal, a 

little more of a bite to it.” 

The brothers noted they 

cannot resist the black pudding 

– beef blood sausage 

doused in spices and onion – 

and its counterpart, the white 

pudding, which combines 

both pork and cracker meal 

for a “grainier texture,” Jerry 

added. 

“I’ll have that every now 

and then,” he shared with a 

laugh. “That’s a big meal.” 

That breakfast is the featured 

item at The Ashford 

House, Michael and Jerry’s 

restaurant located right next 

door to the grocery store. 

What’s more is the Gaelic 

breakfast speaks volumes to 

the brothers’ effort to carry 

on the Winston family tradition. 

This past October, the 

two, along with close friends 

and family, celebrated the 

Tinley market’s and restaurant’s 

20th anniversary. 

Continuing the family 

tradition 

The story of Winston’s 

Market all begins with the 

brothers’ father, Michael 

Sr., who moved to the states 

from Ireland in the 1950s. 

Jerry described his father 

as an “eccentric Irishman” 

with an entrepreneurial 

spirit, but the grocery store 

was more than just a business 

venture; it became a 

pivotal place for Irish immigrants, 

neighbors and 

families to gather, to talk, to 

share and to remember. 

The first Winston’s Market 

opened in 1967, and it 

was located on 79th Street in 

Chicago, before moving to 

63rd Street. Michael Jr. and 

Jerry both recalled working 

with and helping their father 

when they were teens. 

“It was a bit magical to 

see all these people that 

came from Ireland and congregate 

at the store,” Jerry 

recalled. 

Because Winston’s Market 

took pride in making 

its own meats, the store on 

63rd Street later was converted 

into a USDA facility, 

and it continues to make, 

pack and ship its products to 

specialty stores, restaurants 

and bars in the Chicago 

area, as well as to distributors 

across the country. 

In June of 1996, the market 

relocated to Tinley on 

7961 W. 159th St., and in 

October of that same year 

the two created another 

branch of their family business 

with The Ashford 

House. 

Just to give a perspective 

on how much meat 

Winston’s Market sells, 

Michael Jr. said the shop 

goes through roughly 1,000 

pounds of corned beef per 

week, and “around St. Patrick’s 

Day, we go through 

40,000 pounds.” 

Jerry continued, “This 

week, we’re making 15,000 

pounds of sausage, and 

we’re shipping that down 

to Orlando, Florida. That’s 

pretty much the average per 

sausage. The bacon, this 

week, we’re pumping and 

slicing 9,000 pounds.” 

Winston’s Market also 

makes fresh Irish soda bread 

daily, and customers can order 

custom sandwiches at 

the market’s deli counter. 

“The other half [of Winston’s] 

is all imported goods 

from Ireland – the candies, 

the biscuits, the beans,” Michael 

Jr. added. 

Altogether, Winston’s 

Market and The Ashford 

House have become an 

ideal pairing, extending beyond 

the Tinley community. 

And Michael Jr. and Jerry 

have worked to preserve 

their family’s history, sharing 

their stories with others. 

“To carry that on, to see 

people come in for these 

unique items – whether it 

be the various teas, the potatoes, 

the crunchies, the 

flakes – it’s still heartwarming 

to see that happen,” 

Jerry said. “It’s pretty wonderful.”

for local FREELANCE REPORTERS 

and PHOTOGRAPHERS to cover events, 

meetings and sports in the area. 

Jon DePaolis 


Consolidated High School 

District 230 Board of Education 

unveiled Thursday, 

Nov. 17, what it intends to 

levy for in fiscal year 2016 

— and the number should 

look familiar to those paying 

attention. 

The district is levying for 

a 2016 property tax extension 

of $107.60 millions — 

the same amount extended 

in 2015. 

Assistant Superintendent 

for Business Services John 

Lavelle previewed the levy 

during the School Board 

meeting, held at Sandburg 

High School in Orland Park. 

“This is another zero 

levy, and I believe this is 

the fourth consecutive [flat] 

levy and fifth in the last six,” 

he said. “It’s good that we 

are able to ask for the same 

amount that was extended 

in the prior year and try to 

control that. This, tonight, is 

just looking at the estimated 

figures.” 

According to his memo to 

the School Board, Lavelle 

said local taxes account for 

nearly 83 percent of the revenue 

received by the district 

in the past fiscal year. 

The board members voted 

6-0 — with School Board 

member Denis Ryan absent 

— to establish the levy numbers, 

which will be voted 

upon for formal adoption at 

the Dec. 22 meeting. Lavelle 

said the levy must be filed 

with the county clerk by 

Dec. 27. 

Round It Up 

A brief recap of action from the Thursday, Nov. 17 meeting of 

the Consolidated High School D230 Board of Education. 

• The School Board accepted a donation valued 

at $750 from Thomas G. Mulvey for T-shirts for the 

Sandburg girls volleyball team. 

• The School Board members voted 6-0 to approve 

the payment of D230’s bills in the amount of $3.04 

million, as well as payroll in the amount of $3.91 

million. 

School Board member 

Tony Serratore said he recently 

heard great feedback 

from the Finance Committee 

about the district’s ability to 

levy again for 0 percent. 

“I think it is a testament 

to what goes on in this district 

and the buildings at 

the administration level that 

not only can we balance our 

budgets the last 13 years but 

we can do it without asking 

for an increase in the levy 

in five of the last six years,” 

Serratore said. “I am continually 

amazed by that and 

how we run things here.” 

Recognition 

Several D230 students and 

teachers were recognized 

during the meeting, including 

Sandburg cross country 

coach John O’Malley, 

who was honored for being 

named the 2015-2016 National 

Federation of State 

High School Association 

Boys Cross Country Coach 

of the Year winner. 

Also during the meeting, 

during the Curriculum 

and Instruction Spotlight, 

Sandburg economics teachers 

Colleen Mulcahy and 

Christina Simpson showcased 

how they incorporated 

online teaching methods into 

their daily lessons, which led 

to an increase in test scores 

from this past year to this 

year. 

Meanwhile, Sandburg 

junior Tiara Newman was 

awarded a $500 scholarship 

from Moraine Valley Community 

College for a video 

she created for a competition 

that allowed her to interview 

Moraine Valley staff in a 

field she chose as being a future 

career path. 

“I was able to attend a 

celebration breakfast that 

honored Tiara for winning 

that competition,” Sandburg 

Principal Deb Baker said. 

“It was really a great celebration 

in many ways, but 

especially because her peers 

were thrilled for her. One of 

them actually introduced her 

and talked a little bit about 

her strengths, and I want to 

repeat some of them. 

“’Tiara Newman is a poised, 

accomplished and driven student. 

She’s an excellent peer 

model, who is always helpful 

and always kind.’ 

“I’m very proud to present 

her to the board of education 

tonight for this recognition.”

The Orland Park Prairie’s 

Standout Student 

Sponsored by Marquette Bank 

Nathan Trunk, Jerling Jr. High 

sixth-grader 

Alejandro Claure was chosen as The Orland 

Park Prairie’s Standout Student because of his 

efforts with St. Baldrick’s and Fire Up a Cure, 

which raises funds for a cure of pediatric cancer. 

What is one essential you must have when 

studying and why? 

My mom, because she gives me hints and 

breaks down the problems if I get stuck. 

What do you like to do when not in school or 

studying? 

I like to play basketball [and] volleyball, 

ride bikes, and do airsoft with my friends. 

What is your dream job and why? 

My dream job is to be a professional baseball 

player, because it’s fun and I love it. 

What is one thing people don’t know about 

you? 

I held a stingray and snorkeled right next 

to a bull shark. 

Whom do you look up to and why? 

My dad, because he inspires me to play 

baseball and taught me to always work hard 

and that “Trunks don’t give up.”

“We look at it as a partnership,” Ropac said. 

“We both kind of complement each other well, 

because we both offer differing services. One 

person can’t always be at Gizmos or can’t always 

be at Sky Zone.

and are working on ways we can work 

together to bring new attractions to the community.”

What is your favorite class and why? 

Science, because of all the cool labs we 

do, especially the Lego Lab. 

What is one thing that stands out about 

your school? 

All the kids are really nice, and we have 

great teachers who care about us. 

If you could change one thing about school, 

what would it be? 

The school colors. I don’t look good in 

“ketchup red” and “mustard yellow.” It’s 

like, “What happened to the hot dog?” 

What is your best memory from school?

previously vacant lots will have a positive 

trickle-down effect on the rest of the Orland 

Park community. 

“Anytime you open a new business, especially 

in a spot that has previously been 

vacant, is always a great,” McLaughlin said. 

“The positives for this are twofold: You have 

people who live in Orland Park who now 

don’t have to leave; and you have people 

coming into Orland Park from all over the 

region to use these facilities. 

“More people means more money that can 

be spent on any of the other businesses in 

Orland. And that encourages other businesses 

to come and open up shop here, as well.”

Police Reports 

Teen allegedly tries to flee scene after crash 

Miyelle D. Carter, 19, of 

256 W. 107th Place in Chicago, 

was charged Nov. 11 

with leaving the scene of a 

crash, improper left turn at 

intersection, operating uninsured 

motor vehicle, failure 

to reduce speed to avoid a 

crash and disregarding traffic 

control light, as well as

FROM THE NEW LENOX PATRIOT 

New Lenox students send 

love through letters to the 

troops 

Every letter was unique 

— colorful pictures, handdrawn 

flags and handwritten 

notes. 

Throughout November, 

hundreds of students in New 

Lenox School District 122 

thanked veterans for their 

service and wished those 

serving a happy Thanksgiving 

and a merry Christmas. 

A handful of those students 

from kindergarten 

through fifth grade had the 

opportunity to meet Doug 

Bobrowski, also known as 

“Dougie Stylz” from US99, 

and share the letters they 

wrote to veterans. 

The letters were “colored 

with love,“ said Lori 

Motsch, principal at Spencer 

Trail Kindergarten Center. 

“It’s a great way for 

5-year-olds to feel connected,” 

she said. 

Students from Spencer 

Trail, Spencer Pointe and 

Spencer Crossing met with 

Bobrowski to read their letters 

aloud. He recorded their voices, 

and they were aired Nov. 

16-18 on radio station US99. 

Grange Road, and tried to 

flee the scene. 

Carter allegedly tried to 

turn left from the center lane 

while driving southbound on 

LaGrange Road, when she 

struck the other vehicle from 

behind. She attempted to flee 

the scene, but the victim followed 

her, until the Kia was 

stopped near the intersection 

of Emerson Drive and 

Georgetown Square, police 

said. 

Carter reportedly had a 

bag containing cannabis 

weighing 3 grams concealed 

Bobrowski said the impact 

of the event really struck 

him when he met a 26-year 

veteran who received some 

of the letters from schools 

in the Chicago area and later 

had the opportunity to meet 

some of the students who 

had written them. 

“[The students] are really 

making a difference, and we 

really appreciate it,” he said. 

Bobrowski’s goal each 

year is to collect 10,000 letters 

for the troops. 

“Pointe alone has written 

over 600 letters,” said Kim 

Gray, principal at Spencer 

Pointe. “We asked our parents 

to write letters, too, so 

we had a good amount of 

parents write letters and send 

them in to school.”

FROM THE LOCKPORT LEGEND 

Lockport art shop a dream 

come true for owner 

Leanne Wargowsky and 

her family went out for dinner 

in downtown Lockport 

one night in September, 

and parked on State Street 

outside a vacant storefront 

in her bra. One of the vehicle’s 

passengers also was 

cited with a municipal violation 

for possession of cannabis, 

after an officer discovered 

a similar bag containing 

cannabis weighing 3 grams 

on her person, police said. 

Oct. 28 

• Manuel Escalona, 27, of 

5013 W. 159th St. in Oak 

Forest, was charged with 

retail theft and obstructing 

identification after he allegedly 

tried to take a bottle of 

whiskey valued at $22.99 

with “for rent” signs in the 

window. 

The Joliet woman had 

been looking for a space 

where she could fulfill her 

lifelong ambition of opening 

her own art shop, two 

months later her dream 

would become a reality. 

Wargowsky’s 13-year-old 

daughter, Katie, texted the 

phone number on the “for 

rent” sign to her mother’s 

sister, Laura Trento, and the 

wheels were set in motion. 

“I called the number,” 

said Trento, of New Lenox. 

“I said, ‘I’ve got nothing 

to lose,’ and that’s where 

it started. I called, talked 

to the owners, and I called 

Leanne back and said, ‘This 

might work.’” 

Wargowsky and Trento 

opened Creative Wings Art 

Shoppe earlier this month, 

and held a ribbon-cutting 

ceremony Nov. 12 at 1011 

S. State St. Wargowsky has 

wanted to own an art shop 

for as long as she can remember 

and recalled that 

as a child she watched oil 

painter William Alexander 

on PBS. 

“I would sit with my crayons 

and try to do what he did 

with oils on the screen,” she 

from a store in the 15700 

block of 71st Court. He reportedly 

concealed the bottle 

down the front of his pants 

and tried to leave the store. 

An alarm was activated, and 

Escalona was stopped, police 

said. He also reportedly had 

an active a no bond warrant.

Ever work somewhere 

long enough that you 

start picking up on the 

oddest of nuances? 

A few months back, I made 

a bold claim. I could, I said, 

identify most of our company’s 

employees — sight 

unseen, from my desk, them 

at the door — simply by the 

audible jingle of their keys 

and the way they unlock the 

door from the other side. 

Someone quizzed me. 

Jingle. 

“OK. Who’s that?” 

I’d say around 8 or 9 times 

out of 10, I nailed it. 

I’m not bragging. If anything, 

I think this might be a 

sign that I’ve been here too 

long, that my subconscious 

has started to fixate on strange 

things and that our staff is a 

somewhat routine bunch. 

But this is what happens 

when you’re around something 

for a long time. Most 

families grow accustomed 

to every creak in an old 

home. Your buddy knows 

all the tricks to starting his 

beater of a car. You pick up 

on the emotional tells of a 

loved one and know how to 

respond. These things are 

natural. 

But my latest flight of 

fancy comes back to the door 

in our office. I have started 

to psychoanalyze the way 

people knock. 

I am not a psychoanalyst, 

officially speaking. It’s just 

that our office is often very 

quiet, and I pay attention. 

When people aren’t in the 

middle of making phone calls 

or talking about lunch — or 

a sales person on the other 

end of the office isn’t loudly 

talking about the latest thing 

she found just absolutely 

outrageous over the weekend, 

while editorial is stressed 

about putting the last-minute 

touches on a newspaper before 

it goes out the door — it 

is like a library, or a classroom 

during a major exam. 

Heads are down. People 

are writing. 

And then… 

“BOOM! BOOM! 

BOOM!” 

A thunderous knock, as 

the delivery dude balls his 

hand into a fist, using the side 

opposite his thumb to send 

quakes through the room. 

Why so loud? Why so 

hard? What about the glass 

says, “Hit me as hard as you 

can”? Is he this aggressive 

with everything? Maybe he’s 

just hard of hearing. Maybe 

he doesn’t realize people sit 

just around the corner from 

that door. No. Of course he 

does. He comes here, like, 

every week. Maybe… 

“Dink. Dink. Dink.” 

Why did that sound metallic? 

Oh, right. Mailman. 

Guy always uses his keys, or 

coins, or something metal. 

We assume keys, because 

he’s got that truck. Maybe 

he holds onto them to make 

sure he continues running 

an efficient route. Out of the 

vehicle. Back into the vehicle. 

No time to put the keys 

away. No time for pockets, or 

switching hands. I wonder if 

he pretends he’s Wolverine, 

with the keys between his 

fingers. I wonder if… 

“Knock, knock, knock.” 

Weird. That one actually 

sounded pretty normal. I 

guess I’ll just get up and get 

the door here and… 

“Knock, knock, knock.” 

OK, a little impatient apparently 

and… 

“Knock. … knock, knock.” 

All right. People know it 

takes time to move physical 

matter through space, right? 

That they’re not just going to 

knock and someone instantaneously 

appears in front 

of the door. You knock; you 

wait. This is a process as old 

as, well, doors. Surely, they 

understand that... 

“Knock. Knock. Knock.” 

I think I’ve been here too 

long.

Happy Thanksgiving, 

Orland Park! 

For me it really is 

all about the shopping. 

And although I gave up 

Black Friday shopping years 

Gobble, gobble 

ago, the excitement is still 

there. Windows glistening 

with lights and holiday spirit, 

Christmas music piping 

through speakers — love it! 

I happen to be working 

this Black Friday, so I will 

be out there, helping all 

of you get a jump start on 

your holiday shopping. Yes, 

there are deals to be had and 

presents to be bought. Lines 

forming at 6 a.m., with doorbuster 

deals around town. 

The next few weeks, I will 

be working on your Christmas 

lists — some ideas for 

the naughty and the nice. 

For now, enjoy your holiday 

weekend, and get out and do 

some local shopping. Black 

Friday and Small Business 

Saturday are two great days 

to take advantage of our

The Gospels record

The Pharisees, opposed

Orland Parker helps Munster police with cybersecurity 

Brittany Kapa, Assistant Editor 

John Lohrentz never expected 

to be working for a 

police department using his 

computer tech skills to catch 

“bad guys” when he graduated 

college, but through a 

series of events that is where 

he finds himself today. 

The Orland Park resident 

has spent the past 15 years 

working, in one capacity or 

another, with computers and 

technology. His knowledge 

of those machines, mixed 

with his desire to understand 

the growing field of cybersecurity, 

led to his eventual 

employment with the Munster 

Police Department in 

Indiana. 

Lohrentz, 44, started his 

career in Munster in a different 

area altogether. 

“I worked for the town 

hall for the Town of Munster, 

in their IT department, 

and they had a bunch of 

stolen laptops recovered,” 

Lohrentz said. “They had no 

evidence on them. Someone 

cleaned the laptops, so I was 

like, ‘I can get that information 

for you.’” 

The successful recovery of 

that information by Lohrentz 

led to his current position 

with the police department, 

much to the dismay of the 

town hall staff. 

“Law enforcement is 

“I didn’t know I’d be going to school 

to social engineer bad guys, and 

that’s basically what I’m doing.” 

John Lohrentz — Orland Park resident, on transitioning 

into a role with the Munster Police Department 

moving, as the world does, 

into computers. Everything 

is on a smartphone or a database,” 

Police Chief Steve 

Scheckel said. “That’s why 

we were looking for an individual 

like John.” 

Lohrentz made the transition 

in February, and since 

then has used his skills to 

help in a myriad of ways. 

Lohrentz works at the department 

as an intelligence 

and digital forensic analyst, 

and helps catch those “bad 

guys” using geocoded data 

from electronic devices, or 

sometimes the suspect’s social 

media account. Part of 

the job, once the authorities 

obtain the subpoenas, is to 

find digital information linking 

individuals to the crimes. 

Lohrentz gave an example 

of a case on which he 

worked earlier in the year. 

When a rash of overdoses 

hit the Munster area, it ended 

up being an alleged victim’s 

cellphone that led to multiple 

arrests. The individual’s 

family gave the police permission 

to look through the 

phone’s history to find important 

information relating 

to the case, leading to multiple 

arrests. 

“It gives a little satisfaction 

at the end of the day, 

instead of just watching 

network traffic or making 

sure people get their email,” 

Lohrentz said. 

Lohrentz’s desire to know 

more about cybersecurity 

started when he was attending 

DeVry University and 

noticed it wasn’t a subject 

they covered. 

“I wanted to know more 

about cybersecurity when 

I was a DeVry,” Lohrentz 

said. “They didn’t have anything 

solely just for security. 

So, I started a cybersecurity 

club for DeVry and Keller, 

and led them to do competitions 

to learn how to do stuff 

like this.” 

Lohrentz, along with his 

fellow clubmates, competed 

in cybersecurity competitions. 

These competitions 

often simulated real world 

situations in which a network 

operations center — 

the main hub for a company 

— was under attack. These 

competitions required participants 

to use their skills 

to stop these attacks and recover 

from them, all while 

trying to keep the business 

running. 

It was winning one of 

these competitions, the 2016 

U.S. Cyber Challenge, that 

gave Lohrentz the opportunity 

to go to the White House 

in July. Lohrentz, who is 

finishing up a master’s degree 

program in information 

systems management at the 

Keller Graduate School of 

Management, said he could 

not stress enough how invaluable 

these skills are in a 

growing industry that needs 

help protecting sensitive information 

from hackers. 

“That was basically the 

whole reason that they 

wanted to bring winners 

of these competitions to 

D.C., because there’s, like, 

5,000 jobs, right now, unfulfilled, 

because people don’t 

have the knowledge to fill 

[them],” Lohrentz said. 

Lohrentz attributes his 

knowledge of the programming 

language Python and 

operating system Linux with 

giving him the opportunity 

to not only go to Washington, 

D.C., but also to be 

successful in the world of 

cybersecurity. Lohrentz said 

he has friends who did not 

graduate and still got job offers 

of $65,000 from companies 

seeking individuals 

with these skills. 

“Regardless if they’re a 

programmer or not, knowing 

this language will help 

them further their careers,” 


Python, a coding language, 

is what the tech industry 

calls open-source, 

meaning the source of the 

language is publicly accessible. 

Linux, an operating system, 

also is open-source and 

allows the source files to be 

publicly viewed, edited and 

allows others to contribute. 

The thought is that by keeping 

the information publicly 

accessible, it enhances the 

security of the overall product, 

creating transparency, 

which leads to better cybersecurity. 

Lohrentz uses his knowledge 

to work outside of the 

police department, too, helping 

educate larger companies 

on the importance of the 

practice. 

Lohrentz lends his expertise 

in cybersecurity to outside 

organizations, such as 

the Northwestern Indiana Information 

Sharing Security 

Alliance. 

Lohrentz work with NI- 

ISSA is focused on helping 

government agencies understand 

cybersecurity, ways in 

which they can be hacked, 

and finally finding ways to 

put a halt to those attacks. 

Lohrentz said the alliance 

works not only with governmental 

organizations but 

also with private companies 

in the area, such as United 

States Steel, PepsiCo, Wrigley 

Field, Solider Field and 

Guaranteed Rate Field. 

“Through the NIISSA organization, 

we’re going to 

be doing penetration testing 

on networks for all these 

organizations within our 

group to determine how protected 

they are on the web,” 


The town of Munster has 

responded and, by citizens’ 

requests, Lohrentz also has 

put on talks at the town hall. 

He talks about how people 

can protect themselves and 

their devices against hackers, 

the safety of open networks 

(like at Starbucks), 

or opening a hotspot where 

there is no wireless network. 

“I didn’t know I’d be going 

to school to social engineer 

bad guys, and that’s 

basically what I’m doing,”

‘Joshy,’ ‘Blood Father’ prime examples of how mundane Lionsgate home video can get 

Bill Jones, Editor 

The Lionsgate releases of 

“Joshy” and “Blood Father” 

have very little in common, 

except for the fact that they 

are both Lionsgate films, 

released in close proximity, 

with a terrible lineup of special 

features. 

“Blood Father” is something 

of an action hero comeback 

piece for Mel Gibson, 

who stars as Link, an ex-con 

trying to stay on the right 

side of the law (and sober). 

That plan is rocked, however, 

when his once-missing 

daughter Lydia (Erin Moriarty) 

gets involved with 

some bad guys and ends up 

on his doorstep, looking for 

help. 

The film has a few cool 

action sequences, and Gibson 

is at home in the role of 

grizzled, gunslinging hero. 

Hell, he even has experience 

in the violent-father-tryingto-protect-his-family 

genre. 

It works. It’s just not something 

worth watching a second 

time. 

That means fans will 

likely be done quickly with 

“Blood Father” on Blu-ray, 

as the only special feature 

on the disk is “Lost Souls: 

On the Road with ‘Blood 

Father,’” which is a halfhour 

inside look at the film. 

While it offers a few good 

interviews, including with 

Gibson, it ultimately boils 

down to the usual marketing 

package. 

“Joshy,” on the other hand, 

is a dramedy that deals with the

Unscripted 

From Page 17 

sudden end to an engagement. 

Josh (Thomas Middleditch) 

and his friends already had 

the bachelor party planned, 

though, so the friends decide 

to take advantage of the party 

place in Ojai, California, to 

help Josh through his tough 

time and, more importantly, 

not miss out on the party they 

had planned. 

What comes next is a mix 

of the traditional guy party 

films — booze, drugs, women 

and so forth — mixed 

with a melancholy attitude, 

along with the mixed message 

that sometimes all 

these “friends” are more 

concerned about their own 

good times, even when they 

are supposedly there to help 

someone, but also that these 

zany characters will truly be 

there in the end and are just 

what Josh needs to make it 

out of the darkness. 

It features a cast the likes 

of Adam Pally, Nick Kroll 

and Jenny Slate, who are 

well-equipped to handle the 

mix of the emotions in the 

film. But the script and direction, 

both by Jeff Baena, 

are simply a bit off. “Joshy” 

struggles with its tone, with 

keeping its characters likeable, 

with trying to find 

true emotion while presenting 

over-the-top antics. And 

what is left is something 

that, again, is not bad but is 

not altogether memorable. 

The only special feature 

on this Blu-ray disc is an audio 

commentary with Baena, 

Pally and Middleditch, 

which is entertaining more 

often than insightful. 

Either way, the two are 

fairly weak home video releases 

for Lionsgate. And 

one has to wonder if the 

lackluster nature of the films 

begot mediocre releases, or 

if the mediocre releases are 

what help highlight the lackluster 

nature of the films. 

Either way, they’re not 

really worth the time or the 

money. 

Have you seen a 

movie recently and 

want to let everyone 

know about it? The Orland Park 

Prairie is looking for residents to 

review the latest new releases for 

its Unscripted feature. The best 

reviews will be published in The

Spine surgeon to see 

area patients as part of

Spine surgeon Lauren 

Burke has joined Loyola Medicine

at Palos Community Hospital 

in Palos Heights as part of an 

innovative affiliation between 

the two hospitals.

In addition to treating 

common back and neck 

problems, Burke treats scoliosis 

(curvature of the spine) 

in children and adults. 

Burke said her practice is 

first to treat back and neck 

problems conservatively. 

When non-surgical treatments 

do not provide sufficient 

relief, Burke offers surgical 

treatments, including 

discectomy, lumbar fusion, 

anterior cervical discectomy 

and fusion, cervical disc replacement, 

spinal decompression 

and anterior lumbar 

interbody fusion. 

In treating scoliosis, Burke 

also first offers conservative 

care, including bracing and 

physical therapy in children 

to slow progression, and 

physical therapy and activity 

modification in adults to 

minimize pain. 

If surgery in adults is required 

for their deformities, 

Burke uses a two-stage operation 

to correct the deformity 

or scoliosis, with the 

ultimate goal of fusion. This 

technique has resulted in 

better correction, less pain 

and faster recovery for patients, 

Burke said. 

In addition to Palos Community 

Hospital in Palos 

Heights, Burke is to see 

patients on Loyola’s main 

campus in Maywood and at 

the adjacent Edward Hines 

Jr. VA Hospital. Burke is 

an assistant professor in the 

Department of Orthopaedic 

Surgery and Rehabilitation of 

Loyola University Chicago 

Stritch School of Medicine. 

Burke earned her medical 

degree from Georgetown 

University School of 

Medicine. She completed 

a residency in orthopaedic 

surgery at Georgetown University 

Medical Center. She

The Dish 

Buenas Nachos offers authentic fare inspired by family roots 

Frankfort restaurant 

relies on word-ofmouth, 

regulars to 

grow 

Thomas Czaja 


The light yellow and green 

walls hint of a different past. 

Though the inside of Buenas 

Nachos now is filled 

with the sights and smells of 

a variety of authentic Mexican 

cuisine, the Frankfort 

eatery used to be a flower 

shop. 

Keeping the bright paint 

in the interior is a daily reminder 

of how far the business 

has blossomed since 

first opening in the spot in 

1991, according to Buenas 

Nachos manager Andres 

Torres, son of the restaurant’s 

owner, Elvia. 

“We literally had patio furniture 

in here,” Andres said 

of the humble beginnings of 

the family-owned business. 

“We started without much, 

but it began to catch on.” 

Elvia, originally from central 

Mexico, first had a different 

restaurant in Chicago 

but decided to move to their 

Frankfort spot to put her 

family in a better, up-andcoming 

neighborhood, according 

to her son. 

Converting the space to 

house tacos and tamales instead 

of the likes of roses 

and daisies may not have 

been an easy task, but neither 

was slowly building an 

established clientele — a 

feat made all the more impressive 

when coupled with 

the fact Buenas Nachos has 

never advertised. 

“We are 100 percent wordof-mouth,” 

Andres said. “So 

we really have to thank all 

the people that have tried it 

and have recommended us, 

because that’s actually how 

we thrive. 

Buenas Nachos 

21016 S. LaGrange Road in Frankfort 

Hours 

• 10 a.m.-9:45 p.m. Monday-Saturday 

• Closed Sunday 

For more information ... 

Web: www.buenasnachos.com 

Phone: (815) 469-8353 

“Even to this day, we 

don’t have any kind of marketing 

things.” 

Instead, the restaurant relies 

on namesake items like 

the Buenas Nachos tacos 

($2.40 each, $9 for a dinner) 

to do the talking. The 

tacos come with a choice of 

steak, pork, ground beef and 

chicken and are made with 

grilled pepper, onion, tomato, 

cheese and avocado, on 

either a corn of flour tortilla. 

The menu item again serves 

as a nod to a harder past, back 

when the Torres’ family fridge 

was sometimes nearly empty 

and Elvia made tacos for the 

family with a random mix of 

ingredients on hand. 

That improvised meal was 

the same as the Buenas Nachos 

tacos ordered regularly 

by many today. 

“We decided to make [the 

tacos] just how she made 

them [that day],” Andres 

said. 

To ensure the best quality 

dishes, there are no “imitation” 

ingredients, and plenty 

of prep work is done. 

Every morning, before 

opening, two hours are spent 

hand-cutting tomato, cilantro 

and onion. 

“A lot of people don’t go 

through that work, because 

they end up just purchasing 

it themselves or buying it in 

bags or in bulk,” Andres said. 

“Stuff like that, we actually go 

ahead and put in labor hours. 

The chicken is hand-chopped. 

Everything is natural.” 

To accommodate demand, 

pots that “go up to your 

waist” hold large batches of 

food, according to Andres. 

Sauces are made in house. 

Elvia even has traveled back 

to Mexico in the past to ensure 

the culinary standards 

are right, while always remembering 

the lessons in the 

kitchen her mother gave her 

as a young girl. 

For those looking for 

a dinner served with rice 

and beans, the carne asada 

($13.50) is a skirt steak that 

is lightly salted with grilled 

onions and comes with a 

stack of corn or flour tortillas, 

fresh guacamole, lettuce, 

tomato and a side of 

French fries. 

“A lot of individuals who 

have come like our food because 

it is not very heavy,” 

Andres said. “It’s friendly 

for consumption purposes. It 

doesn’t have a lot of preservatives 

or nitrates or anything.” 

A staple of the family-run 

restaurant — which Andres 

calls a “dying breed” — is 

that at least one member of 

his extended family always 

is present to ensure the operation 

is running smoothly. 

Whether guests choose 

tostadas, burritos, gorditas 

or tortas, the focus is on 

providing quick, satisfying 

lunches or dinners. 

“Anything here is good,” 

Andres said. “I mean, you 

really could almost blind 

shoot the menu. Everything 

is so fresh and delicious. It’s 

really what you have a taste 

for that day.” 

Another recommendation 

by the manager is to order 

The tacos al pastor ($1.85 for single, $7.50 for dinner) are a traditional dish made with pork 

soaked in a marinade of fresh oranges, limes and more, finely cut and served with onion 

and cilantro on a corn shell. Photos by Thomas Czaja/22nd Century Media 

The milanesa dinner ($8.99) is a breaded rib-eye steak that is handmade and fried. It 

features the flattened meat accompanied by rice, beans, a salad and French fries. 

the enchiladas ($8.25), made 

with a choice of chicken, 

cheese, pork and beef, with 

an option of steak for 75 

cents extra. 

The customer has a choice 

of four different sauces for 

their enchiladas, picking 

among red, green, mole or 

ranchera — each offering a 

distinct flavor. 

With Elvia ready to retire, 

according to Andres, the future 

growth and course of 

Buenas Nachos is not set in 

stone, but there is one certainty 

— the family tradition and 

authentic dishes will continue. 

“We are here to stay,” Andres 

said. “We’re not going 

anywhere anytime soon.”

Experience, depth to power

Junior Emily 

Schrader aims to 

improve on Top 10 

state finish

games

The 2016-2017 edition 

of the Sandburg High girls 

bowling team is rife with 

confidence, coming off a 

valuable reloading phase a 

season ago. 

The Eagles sported just 

one upperclassman this past 

year and bring back all five 

of their starters. 

That is why coach Joe 

Geiger thinks this is the season 

the Sandburg program 

could make a huge leap. 

“Due to a lack of experience, 

we started out slow,” 

Geiger said of the 2015- 

2016 season. “However, by 

the end of the season we 

jelled together and became 

very competitive. Now, 

these young ladies have a 

year under their belt, and 

that experience is going to 

help improve this program.” 

Sandburg finished sixth 

this past year at their regional, 

with a team score of 

5,484. Geiger said he thinks 

his five competitive starters 

will continue to raise their 

games, and the rest of the 

team will be there to push 

them even higher. 

“Although it is early, we 

look to have more depth 

with a few freshmen and 

improvement from some 

of our JV bowlers that will 

keep the returning five 

on their toes and working 

hard,” Geiger said. 

The team goals for the 

season are to compete in 

every match and invitational, 

qualify for regional 

and then beyond, and increase 

the numbers in the 

program. Geiger said they 

already have accomplished 

the latter goal. 

Geiger, who is entering his 

14th season as Sandburg’s 

girls bowling coach, said 25 

students came out to tryouts, 

which began Nov. 14, and 

the Eagles will carry 19 this 

season. 

“We had double the number 

of athletes try out and 

had to downsize to the number 

that allows the team adequate 

practice and matchplaying 

time,” Geiger said. 

Of the 19, nine are returning 

from this past 

year’s team, led by starters 

junior Emily Schrader, 

sophomore Karlie Colbert, 

senior Kristen Crowe, 

sophomore Jill Richmond 

and sophomore Alyssa Novak. 

Schrader led the way 

by posting a season average 

of 212, followed by Colbert 

(181), Crowe (163), Novak 

(152) and Richmond (149). 

Schrader was a state medalist 

this past season, finishing 

10th overall, averaging 

a 218.3 over six games, including 

a high score of 279 

in her second-to-last game. 

She also was a Junior Gold 

Under 15 National champion 

two summers ago. 

“She had a great tryout 

and looks to be even better 

than where she left off last 

year,” Geiger said. “You 

never know what could happen 

on a given day, but Emily 

could compete for an individual 

title.” 

Colbert advanced to the 

sectional with a score of 

1,206 at regional. 

Geiger touted freshman 

Jade Hamilton, senior 

Demi Cuellar and freshman 

Vanesa Perez as promising 

newcomers. 

The Eagles are to open the 

season at 4 p.m. Monday, 

Nov. 28, at Hinsdale South. 

Geiger said he expects great 

tests against Lockport, a 

perennial state power, and 

Andrew, a sister school that 

has had success in the past. 

He added that the Strikefest 

Invite, one of the largest in 

the state, is always a great 

benchmark. 

“Not knowing who will be 

in our regional, I do feel that 

we will compete and could 

have a good chance to move 

on as a team to the sectional, 

and who knows from there,” 

he said. “I do know we have 

improved at both levels and 

have some depth needed to 

be successful.”

“It was a great swim,”

10 Questions 

with Grace Bauer 

Grace Bauer is a senior at 

Sandburg High School who 

plays as a shooting guard 

on the girl’s basketball 

team. 

How did you started 

playing basketball? 

My sister played basketball, 

and she is two years 

older than me, and when I 

was little I wanted to do everything 

she did. 

What is your favorite 

part of the game? 

The intensity. When the 

clock runs down, every play 

matters. There’s not a lot 

of standing around stuff; 

there’s a lot of movement. 

Who is your biggest 

support on the team? 

My friend Maeve Hennessy. 

She’s become one of 

my best friends. She always 

supports what I do and what 

I have to say with the team.

Boys Basketball 

What’s the best advice 

you’ve ever gotten? 

The show goes on. Pertaining 

to basketball, I like it 

because if you make a mistake 

or turn the ball over, the 

game doesn’t stop because 

you turned the ball over. I 

think it pertains to a lot of 

things in life, too, as well as 

in basketball. 

What’s the most 

challenging part of the 

game? 

I said intensity was the 

best part of the game, but 

having that intensity for 

the entire game and having 

that mindset the whole 

game is tough. Even when 

you’re tired, you have to 

fight through that feeling of 

being tired, because you’re 

basically running for four 

quarters. 

What is your spirit 

animal? 

I’d have to say a lion. In 

the game, I’m mean when 

I have to be, but I show no 

emotions. So people don’t 

know if I’m happy, sad, or 

mad or anything. 

If you could travel 

anywhere in the world, 

where would you go? 

Hawaii. I’ve wanted to go 

22nd Century Media File 

Photo 

there for forever. So, that’s 

my trip. It’s coming. 

Favorite superhero? 

Everyone always says 

they like Batman or something, 

but Spider-Man is so 

much cooler. He’s just got 

it going on. The webs and 

hanging around everywhere 

is cool. 

If you weren’t playing 

basketball, what sport 

would you be playing? 

Soccer. I think they’re 

amazing athletes. 

If you won a million 

dollars, what would be 

the first three things 

you would buy? 

I’m going nice first and 

paying off whatever my parents 

need. Then, I’d probably 

get a Mercedes for 

myself, and then I would 

just invest in my college, 

because I don’t want to have 

debt.

A.J. Svatos steps up against LW Central 

Julie McMann/22nd Century 

Media 

1st and 3 

Looking Back: 

Sandburg Boys 

Bowling 

1. Top game 

This past year, as a 

freshman, Sandburg’s 

Cameron Crowe 

(ABOVE) rolled the top 

single-game score for 

his team at the Illinois 

High School Association 

state finals. He 

scored 256 twice over 

a six-game stretch. 

2. Top stretch 

Sandburg’s Tommy 

Hayes had the team’s 

best six-game score, 

though, putting down 

a total of 2,652 pins in 

six games. 

3. Top 6 

With a score of 12,915 

— helped by Danny 

Griskell, Brett Ruckman, 

Kyle Knight, Jack Kolpack, 

Brandon Goeringer 

and A.J. Svatos — the 

Eagles finished this past 

year in sixth place at the 

state tournament. They 

hope to do similar, if not 

better, this year. 

Steve Millar 


Tommy Hayes and Cameron 

Crowe, who finished 

30th and 39th, respectively, 

in the state tournament this 

past season to lead Sandburg 

to a sixth-place finish, are 

back to guide the Eagles toward 

another big season. 

The duo cannot do it alone, 

however, and with three 

starters from the 2015 team 

lost to graduation, coach Jeff 

Kwilose is looking for newcomers 

to step up. 

One of them is senior A.J. 

Svatos, and if Svatos’ performance 

Nov. 15 in a dual with 

Lincoln-Way Central was 

any indication, he is ready to 

contribute in a big way. 

Svatos posted the top twogame 

series of the night with 

a 467, and the Eagles topped 

the Knights 2,050-1,976 in a 

SouthWest Suburban crossover 

at Orland Bowl. 

“I was in a slump starting 

the year,” Svatos said. “This 

performance just makes me 

feel a whole lot better. It 

gives me a lot more confidence. 

I was just hitting my 

mark and doing the same 

shot over and over.” 

Svatos was on the junior 

varsity team this past season 

but was added to the varsity 

roster for the postseason this 

past year and got to bowl 

one game at state, contributing 

a 212. 

“Watching those guys 

bowl last year, I learned a lot 

from them,” Svatos said. “It 

Sandburg’s A.J. Svatos rolls the ball Nov. 15 during a boys bowling dual with Lincoln-Way 

Central at Orland Bowl. Julie McMann/22nd Century Media 

made me a better bowler.” 

Sandburg, which improved 

to 3-0 in duals, topped 

the Knights (2-1) 985-923 in 

the opening game. The finale 

was a thriller, with the Eagles 

squeaking out a 1,065- 

1,053 win, thanks, in large 

part to Svatos’ 276. 

He took a perfect game 

into the eighth frame before 

settling for a spare. 

“It was an exciting match,” 

Kwilose said. “Lincoln-Way 

Central bowled really well. 

With Lincoln-Way North 

closing and all the Lincoln- 

Way schools adding talent, 

they’re dangerous. We didn’t 

know what to expect, but 

they put up big scores. It was 

good for us to get that kind 

of competition, and our guys 

did well.” 

Hayes (426 series) and 

Brandon Goeringer (424) 

each shot a 233 in the second 

game. 

“This early in the season, 

you don’t really know who 

can put up big numbers, and 

[Lincoln-Way Central] obviously 

did it,” Hayes said. 

“I’m glad we pulled through. 

“I think we can come back 

really strong again this year. 

We’ve got guys stepping up. 

A.J. did great in this one, and 

Brandon’s really been doing 

great. I’m excited about this 

team.” 

Crowe contributed a 395 

series, including a 212 in the 

opener, and Marc Moll had a 

338 series for the Eagles. 

Lincoln-Way Central, 

meanwhile, was led by sophomore 

Jack Davern, who 

followed a 183 in the opener 

with a 246 in Game 2. 

“Jack and Alex [Nolan] 

have done a great job,” Central 

coach Coley O’Connell 

said. “They’re great kids, 

too. It’s exciting to have 

young talent.” 

Davern and Nolan, a 

freshman, have alternated 

bowling in the anchor spot. 

Nolan also had a strong 

day Nov. 15, finishing with 

a 419 series that included a 

228 in the second game. 

“It’s an adrenaline rush, 

getting to bowl on varsity 

as a freshman,” Nolan said. 

“It’s been fun bowling with 

Jack and alternating that 

anchor spot. We try to help 

each other and take pressure 

off the other guy, so no one 

gets too overwhelmed.” 

Trevor Amir (395 series), 

Steven Plane (370) and Mike 

Mitchell (363) also contributed 

for the Knights. 

O’Connell, in his first year 

with the Knights after coaching 

at Lincoln-Way North, 

has liked what he has seen 

from his team. Prior to the 

loss to the Eagles, Central 

picked up a huge win over 

Lockport, which finished 

fourth in the state this past 

season. 

“I knew Sandburg was going 

to be good, and we hung 

with them both games,” 

O’Connell said. “This was 

really the first time we’ve 

bowled outside of Laraway 

Lanes, except for tournaments, 

so I’m really proud 

of how the kids handled it. 

We’ve got some things to 

work on, but I’m excited 

about what I’ve seen.” 

Nolan thinks going toe-totoe 

with Sandburg will give 

the Knights a boost going 

forward. 

“If we can almost beat 

Sandburg, which is probably 

one of the Top 3, Top 5 

teams in the state, it’s definitely 

a confidence booster 

for us,” he said. 

Before beating LW Central, 

the Eagles earned wins 

over Joliet Central and 

Bolingbrook to start their 

season 3-0. 

LISTEN UP 

“I was in a slump starting the year. This performance just 

makes me feel a whole lot better. It gives me a lot more
