Interplanetary exploration, inventions highlight Camp Invention
Homer 33C students
tackle science, tech
and engineering
Erin Redmond, Assistant Editor
A classroom is usually the
last place children want to be
during the summer, but the
students at Camp Invention
had no qualms about spending
an action-packed week at
Hadley Middle School.
From the making of bubble
guns and FitBits for
dogs, to learning circuitry
and even creating their very
own planets, Homer Community
Consolidated School
District 33C students of all
ages were busy exploring
the depths of their creativity
at the weeklong Camp
Invention, which concluded
Friday, June 16. The students
worked on four different
modules, all focusing on
varying aspects of science,
technology and engineering,
allowing students to tap into
their creative sides, too.
At the beginning of the
week, students brought in an
array of materials to recycle
and re-purpose for use in
their projects. Students began
by taking apart old technological
devices and took a
look inside to see what made
them tick.
“We talk about circuits and
how circuits work,” Camp
Invention organizer Jeanine
Arundel said. “We talk about
all the simple machines that
might be inside: the levers,
the pulleys, the switches,
how electricity works and
how it needs to be in a circle
to be connected.”
Those skills were put to
good use for the students
working on the Operation
Keep Out module, in which
they designed a “spy gadget
alarm box,” in order to keep
their most valued possessions
safe. Students designed

Invention.
boxes and attached alarms to
them which would sound if
opened by an intruder. Kaitlyn
Long, an incoming fifthgrader
at Young School and
returning camper, was putting
the finishing touches on
her special spy box Friday,
June 16 while talking about
the other projects she worked
on during the week.
“In Ms. [Jennifer] Mitchell’s
class, we did money
bags and we learned how to
use your money and build
different things than normal
people would build and make
new inventions. I thought it
was really fun,” Long said.
“Last year, it was a lot of fun,
and it had a lot of cool activities.
I thought if it was going
to be like this next year, then I
want to go — and it is.”
Long also took part in the
Duct Tape Billionaires module,
in which students made
prototypes of their inventions.
Some students, like
incoming sixth-grader Paige
Robinson, created inventions
from scratch, while others
made improvements to existing
products.
Robinson proudly marketed
her product, which she
called the Dress Code. She
designed a dress covered in
binary code so fellow inventors
could always keep their
codes handy. She marketed
it in a Hadley-size version
of “Shark Tank” in which
she outlined her product, the
price — $14.99 — and allowed
her fellow inventors
the chance to “invest” in her
product using paper money.
Fellow Hadley incoming
sixth-grader Nyah Janik put
her own “pawesome” spin on
the FitBit with her invention
aptly named “DogBit.” She,
along with recent Lockport
Township High School graduate
and camp counselor Patrick
Potter, designed a harness
and leash fitness tracker
for dogs using a jump rope
for their prototype.
“It has a tracker on it, and
you can set a diet for it and
set times so you know when
to feed it — it has an alarm,”
Janik said as she showed off
her invention. “It has how
many calories they burned,
how many steps they walked,
just like a regular FitBit. I
was thinking since they have
FitBits for humans, why can’t
they have them for dogs? Because
some people forget to
feed their dogs; I have trouble
remembering to feed my
two dogs.”

Middle School. Photos by Erin Redmond/22nd Century Media
“This is big money,” added
Potter, who is an incoming
freshman at the University
of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign.
“It was her idea.”
Classmate Jack Conway
also put his own twist on a
popular item with his invention,
which he called the
Fidget Button. Conway’s
simple, silicon button, which
is made from the buttons
found under a keyboard, is
designed to offer a much less
distracting alternative to the
fidget spinner.
“[Fidget spinners] can be
really loud sometimes, and
this you can’t even hear it at
all,” Conway said. “If you’re
in class, and you’re playing
with it, I don’t think your
teacher would mind.”
It was not just campers
who attended Camp Invention,
either.
Incoming Homer Jr. High
eighth-grader Ashley Gibbs
had previously attended the
camp and was returning in a
different capacity this year:
counselor-in-training. She
spent the week helping the
younger students take apart
old technology and reassemble
it into new inventions.
And even though she did
not expect to, she learned a
few new things herself, too.
“I really like science, and I
really like working with kids;
that’s why I do it,” Gibbs
said. “I learned about being
creative and using your resources
to make new things
... [I’ve learned] leadership
and kindness and patience.”
Across the hall, younger
students were engineering
tools in the Have A Blast
module classroom.
Incoming Goodings
Grove second-grader Jackson
Wright and his peers had
built “snowball” throwers
and bubble guns during the
week and were working on a
contraption to allow them to
pick up a rubber chicken and
“save” it from a pen.
“I’m making a stick to tape
on [a bowl],” Jackson said
while cutting out his “stick”
from a cereal box. “And then
I’m going to save the chickens.”
Students in the Mission:
Space Makers module were
taking notes on the planets
they had built out of recycled
materials, as well as foam,
tubing, glue and tape. They
then altered their planets’
conditions in order to make
them habitable for life and
plant forms.
“[My favorite part was]
building the stuff to protect
the planet from all the natural
disasters,” said incoming
Young School third-grader
Wolfie Tone.
The concepts taught in Mission:
Space Makers, STEAM
teacher Celeste Rupsis said,
are similar to what students
learn during the year but in a
less restrictive environment.
She said she enjoyed seeing
what the students are able to
come up with their creativity
is unleashed.
“It’s looser in its perimeters,
and it’s about exploring and
learning and thinking outside
the box and moving forward
even when they fail,” she said.
“They’re not necessarily successful
the first time, so then
they brainstorm and collaborate
and think critically about
what issue they’re facing and
work together to solve it. It
jazzes me up for the next
year.”

Homer Glen Village Board
‘Surplus property’ from Woodbine will be sold online
Start of sale to be
determined, with
proceeds going
toward General Fund
Jessie Molloy
Freelance Reporter
The Homer Glen Village
Board met June 14 for a
meeting that was more substantive
in announcements
than action items.
The board did vote to
approve the sale of “surplus
property” from the old
Woodbine clubhouse. The
property includes light fixtures
and furniture that were
taken out of the building as
it was renovated into the
Village Hall. The Village
will utilize Obenauf Auction
Services to sell the property
off online, with a date for the
sale to be been determined.
All proceeds from the sale of
the surplus items will go into
the Village’s General Fund.
Mayor appoints committee
members, chairpersons
The board voted unanimously
to approve the annual
appointment of committee
members and chairpersons.
Committee members and
chairpersons officially serve
for one year before needing
to be reappointed, though
Mayor George Yukich said
that there were no major
changes in the membership
of any of the committees
from last year.
Mosquito spray takes place
Yukich informed the residents
that mosquito spraying
began for the season
last week. The first of four
scheduled sprays from a
Clarke Mosquito Control
truck took place June 13,
and the remaining three will
be done periodically through
September. According to the
mayor, if residents want to
be alerted to future spraying
times, they should visit
Clarke’s website or call the
company’s “mosquito hotline”
to register for updates.
Flashing bike path light to be
installed
Trustee Beth Rodgers, reporting
on behalf of the Public
Safety Committee, shared
that a flashing bike path light
will soon be installed on at
the intersection of W. 143rd
Street and Pheasant Lane.
“It will be similar to the
light we just installed on
151st, so people will be
aware that bikes could be
crossing the road there,”
Rodgers said.
Rodgers also reported that
the Village will be moving
their speed monitoring radar
points from their location on
139th back to Woodland Avenue
off 159th Street.
“We periodically move
them to monitor speeding in
certain areas,” Rodgers explained.
“This location is just
north of Bell Road by the elementary
school. We’ve gotten
a lot of complaints, and
we feel it will be more effective
in that location.”

Homer Community Fest anticipates another attendance increase in 2017
Thomas Czaja, Editor
The biggest summer festival
in Homer Glen is ready to
return with all it has become
known for, as well as several
new features.
The eighth annual edition
of Homer Community Fest is
scheduled for June 22-25 this
year and will take place at
its familiar northeast corner
of 151st Street and Creme
Road. Back are the now traditional
fireworks show, carnival,
musical performances
and parade.
As in past years, Homer
Community Fest kicks off
Thursday, June 22, when the
gates open at 3 p.m. At 6 p.m.
that evening, students from
the House of music will perform
in the fireworks viewing
area for an hour for the
first time.
At 7 p.m. that evening,
Mr. D’s Magic & Illusions
Show will take place as
guests wait for the “Magic
Skies V — Sweet Home
Chicago,” which is set to
begin at 9:30 p.m. and will
be simulcast live on 101.3
FM. The fireworks are primarily
viewed from the
Township’s sports fields,
where a live soundtrack will
be broadcast.
Homer Township Road
District Commissioner Mike
De Vivo said a variety of
Chicago songs, including
popular jams from the city’s
professional sports teams,
will be played.
“It’s tough to come up with
a good theme,” De Vivo said.
“... We’re trying to make the
show more interesting. If
people know what the theme
is when they come there, it’s
more fun to recognize the
songs.”
De Vivo expects another
large turnout for the fireworks
display, one he said
grows in attendance every
year as word-of-mouth on
the scope and impressiveness
of its display continues
to travel.
With thousands of people
expected to attend, De Vivo
hopes the weather will be
good for the roughly 25-minute
show. While some try to
watch it from their driveways
or backyards, there is nothing
like being there, according to
the commissioner.
“It is designed and choreographed
to be viewed from
the sports fields,” De Vivo
said. “Watching it anywhere
else would be like watching a
play from behind stage — it’s
just not the same.”
He added 40 percent of the
show is the ground portion,
which is substantial enough
for people to come see it at its
main viewing point.
On Friday, June 23, the
festival will once again have
a Special Needs Day before
the grounds open to the general
public. During this time
— which runs from 2:30 to 4
p.m. — special needs guests
and their families can enjoy
the carnival.
“We’re happy to be doing
[Special Needs Day] again,”
Homer Township Clerk Linsey
Sowa said. “We kind of
get the same people each
year, and they really appreciate
it.”
The Independence Day
Parade Saturday, June 24
will start at 11 a.m. at 151st
Street and Parker Road and
head north on Parker, ending
at Briarwood Drive. The
parade will have familiar participants
while also having
elements of the Sweet Home
Chicago theme of the fireworks.
Thanks to feedback,
Sowa said superheroes will
again be in the parade, too.
The festival concludes on
Sunday, June 26. Pets are not
allowed at Homer Fest, except
for service animals. No
outside coolers or food beverages
— with the exception
of factory-sealed water bottles
or baby formula — can
be brought into the festival
grounds.
There are several parking
lots near the grounds. Parking
and shuttle service is free
at all locations. Admission is
also free for the festival.
For more information, including
hours and details on
parking, rides and musical
performances, visit www.

Homer Township Board of Trustees
Surpluses found in all funds for approved Township, Road District budgets
Jessie Molloy
Freelance Reporter
The Homer Township
Board of Trustees held its
monthly meeting June 12
and approved the proposed
budgets for the Township and
Road District for fiscal year
2017-2018.
The meeting was the first
for Trustee George Offord,
who voted in agreement
with the rest of the board
to approve the spending
plans after no comments or
questions were brought forward
during the public hearing.
The budgets include a
planned surplus in each of
the Township’s seven funds
and both of the Road District’s
funds. The Township
budget also accounts for a
total tax levy of $1,517,200,
an increase of just over
$16,000 from last year.
Scholarship given to resident
Before proceeding with the
other business of the meeting,
the board also took a moment
to recognize recent Lockport
Township High School
graduate and Homer resident
Brandon Wenzel, who was
awarded the Township Officials
of Illinois Bob Turner
Memorial Scholarship.
TOI Board member and
Reed Township Supervisor
Sherrill Knorr presented
Wenzel with the
$1,500 scholarship and a
plaque commemorating the
achievement. Wenzel applied
for the scholarship at
the encouragement of Supervisor
Pam Meyers and won

in today’s society.

Repairs for athletic facilities
During the meeting,
the board also discussed
at length a number of repairs
that need to be made
to Township athletic facilities.
The Towne Center
sports field irrigation system
has recently had broken
pipes repaired and is
awaiting one last part to fix
damage done by a volunteer
who attempted to turn
on the system before it had
officially been started up
by Razor’s Edge.
While the board did not
reveal the identity of said
volunteer, Meyers reported
that the Township is aware
of who caused the damage
and approximately when
the incident took place. The
board does not have an exact
cost for the repairs yet,
though it has agreed to pay
for them. Trustee Tom Fijan
is also going to have a new
lock installed on the pump
shed the system is accessed
from, which only the Township
and select individuals
will have keys to in order to
Round it Up
A brief recap of board action from the June 12 meeting of
the Homer Township Board of Trustees
•The board reported on an update from Clarke Mosquito
Control predicting an increased population in mosquitoes and
ticks due to the wet spring conditions and predicted summer
heat. These include mosquitoes that carry West Nile Virus and
other diseases. Meyers said the board is taking “aggressive
suppression measures” to reduce the number of mosquitoes
in conjunction with the Village of Homer Glen, including having
trucks that made spray rounds through the area this week.
•The board voted to reject a proposal for reimbursements for
services by the Will-Grundy Medical Clinic. The clinic provides
services to 13 Homer Township residents and was requesting
a reimbursement of $2,500 for the first time. The board voted
to deny the request because of “limited funds,” and, according
to Trustee John Kruczek, because “everyone is supposed to
have medical insurance now, so we see this as a request to
fund staffing instead of services, and we try to avoid that.”
•The board set the date for the Lincolnway Special Recreation
Association Party in the Park for Monday, August 21. The party
will take place in Sendra Park from 6 to 8 p.m. and is open to
everyone. The objective of the party is to raise awareness of
the SRA and provide a night of fun for residents.
prevent a repeat offense.
While the board is going
to pay for the cost of the
damaged pipes, Meyers said
that the athletic teams that
use the fields are going to
be responsible for the cost
of replacing four sprinkler
heads from the irrigation
system that were sheared off
over the winter by a piece of
equipment.
“All we know about this is
that the system was working
at 100 percent when we shut
it down in fall,” Meyers said.
“We aren’t sure who did this
or how it happened, but the
teams will be financially responsible
for the repairs.”
The board also voted to approve
a payment of $4,009
for wiring and additional
electrical repairs for the lights
on baseball fields 2 and 4.
Dog Park to have sun shades
The board also approved a
proposal to install permanent
sun shades on either side of
Trantina Dog Park. The shades
will measure 12x12 feet and
will have their supports installed
in concrete footings.
The two pads will cost approximately
$6,000 each,
and, if well received, could
be improved upon later to include
benches or chairs and
tables.

Lou Malnati’s adds another option for pizza in community
Pizzeria chooses
Homer Glen as
the spot for 49th
restaurant in chain
Thomas Czaja, Editor
For the casual or ardent
Chicago pizza lover, an excess
of satisfactory pie options
are available in the area.
Among the instantly recognizable
restaurants here
is Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria,
which opened its first location
in north suburban Lincolnwood
in 1971.
Since then, dozens of Lou
locations have sprung up
around Chicagoland, and
the latest opened for business
June 6 in Homer Glen.
Known best for making Chicago-style
deep dish pizza,
the restaurant’s arrival drew
a positive reaction from the
community, according to
Sasha Milosavljevich, the
chain’s director of facilities/
real estate who was in attendance
at the Homer location’s
ribbon cutting with Village of
Homer Glen and Homer Glen
Area Chamber of Commerce
officials June 14.
“It’s been a spot that we
have been looking at for a
little bit of time,” Milosavljevich
said. “… We think of
Homer Glen as providing a
convenience for our customers
that are here in Homer
Glen and Lemont and Lockport,
allowing more customers
to have our product.”
Milosavljevich said he
and his family’s favorite is
The Malnati Chicago Classic
(prices vary by size), which
is made with Lou’s lean sausage,
some extra cheese and
vine-ripened tomato sauce on
Buttercrust.
“We always order it,” he
said.
Regardless of the type of
pie purchased, each pizza
begins with the Malnati family’s
four-generation-old secret
recipe for flaky, buttery
crust, according to the restaurant’s
menu.
To maintain its iconic Chicago
brand and rave reviews
from customers, Milosavljevich
said the chain puts a great
deal of care into its food.
“We make our pizza fresh
every day; we make it from
scratch,” he said. “… Our
dough is fresh. Our ingredients
are fresh, never frozen.
That’s really what makes our
pizza taste so great.”
Sherry Sunde, general manager
of the Lou Malnati’s
Homer location who has been
with the chain since 2002,
said she enjoys the whole process
that goes into getting a
new store up and running.
“I love to interview and
train [people],” Sunde said. I
love the culture of the company.
… It’s great and something
new getting things going,
like an adrenaline with
everything crazy the first few
months.”
The general manager, like
Milosavljevich, counts The
Malnati Chicago Classic as a
personal favorite. However,

arrival in Homer Glen. “It’s
amazing around here. People
have been amazing, kind and

say hi and welcome us before

For Milosavljevich, the
most rewarding thing is to
get from the initial permit
process when first going to a
new community through the
location’s completion, seeing
the doors finally open after
all the preparation.
“It’s why I love my job,”
Milosavljevich said. “It’s
just so rewarding to not only
open the restaurant but get
past the deadlines and watching
the first customers come
in. That’s the rewarding part
for me, and then giving our
people that are going to be
employed here in Homer
Glen opportunities to grow
and develop and become
managers and work on their
personal growth.
“… We’re excited to be
here and hope we’re here for
a long time and it stays successful.”

until this past week.
The amateur golfers found
their own challenges at the
72-par course but still enjoyed
the experience despite
missing the cut for the U.S.
Women’s Open on June 12.
Sterling, a four-year state
qualifier at Lincoln-Way

53 finishers by shooting a
22-over-par 166. She followed
up an 82 through the
opening 18 holes with an 84
the second time through.
“I liked this course a lot,”
Sterling said after playing 36
holes at the qualifier. “It’s
really nice. The greens are a
little tricky. I struggled a bit
with putting. That was probably
the most challenging
part.”
Gromala, a Providence

Why Haven’t Senior Homeowners
Been Told These Facts?
Keep reading if you own a home in
the U.S. and were born before 1955.
ADVERTISEMENT
It’s a well-known fact that for many senior citizens in the
U.S. their home is their single biggest asset, often accounting
for more than 50% of their total net worth.
Yet, according to new statistics from the mortgage
industry, senior homeowners in the U.S. are now sitting on
more than 6.1 trillion dollars of unused home equity. 1 With
people now living longer than ever before and home prices
back up again, ignoring this “hidden wealth” may prove to
be short sighted.
All things considered, it’s not surprising that more than
a million homeowners have already used a governmentinsured
Home Equity Conversion Mortgage or “HECM”
loan to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement.
However, today, there are still millions of eligible
homeowners who could benefit from this FHA-insured loan
but may simply not be aware of this “retirement secret.”
Some homeowners think HECM loans sound “too good
to be true.” After all, you get the cash you need out of your
home but you have no more monthly mortgage payments.
NO MONTHLY MORTGAGE
PAYMENTS? 2 EXTRA CASH?
It’s a fact: no monthly mortgage payments are required
with a government-insured HECM loan; 2 however
the homeowners are still responsible for paying for the
maintenance of their home, property taxes, homeowner’s
insurance and, if required, their HOA fees.
Another fact many are not aware of is that HECM
reverse mortgages first took hold when President Reagan
signed the FHA Reverse Mortgage Bill into law 29 years
ago in order to help senior citizens remain in their homes.
Today, HECM loans are simply an effective way for
homeowners 62 and older to get the extra cash they need to
enjoy retirement.
Although today’s HECM loans have been improved
to provide even greater financial protection for
homeowners, there are still many misconceptions.
For example, a lot of people mistakenly believe the
home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a
HECM loan, which is not the case. In fact, one key
advantage of a HECM is that the proceeds will first be
used to pay off any existing liens on the property, which
frees up cash flow, a huge blessing for seniors living on
a fixed income. Unfortunately, many senior homeowners
who might be better off with HECM loan don’t even
bother to get more information because of rumors they’ve
heard.
That’s a shame because HECM loans are helping many
senior homeowners live a better life.
In fact, a recent survey by American Advisors Group
(AAG), the nation’s number one HECM lender, found
that over 90% of their clients are satisfied with their loans.
While these special loans are not for everyone, they can
be a real lifesaver for senior homeowners like Betty Carter,
who recently took out a HECM loan with AAG so that
she could finally get the extra cash she needed to fix up
her house.
“With the help of AAG, I have been able to repair my
home’s foundation that I had been putting off for several years,
refinish the hardwood floors, paint the interior and will have
the exterior painted within a few days. My house is starting to
look like my home again and it feels good,” says Carter.
The cash from a HECM loan can be used for any purpose.
Many people use the money to save on interest charges by
paying off credit cards or other high-interest loans. Other
FACT: In 1988, President Reagan signed
an FHA bill that put HECM loans into law.
common uses include making home improvements, paying
off medical bills or helping other family members. Some
people simply need the extra cash for everyday expenses
while others are now using it as a “safety net” for financial
emergencies.
If you’re a homeowner age 62 or older, you owe it to
yourself to learn more so that you can make an informed
decision. Homeowners who are interested in learning more
can request a free 2017 HECM loan Information Kit and
free Educational DVD by calling American Advisors Group
toll-free at 1-(800) 792-0096.
At no cost or obligation, the professionals at AAG can
help you find out if you qualify and also answer common
questions such as:
1. What’s the government’s role?
2. How much money might I get?
3. Who owns the home after I
take out a HECM loan?
You may be pleasantly surprised by what you discover
when you call AAG for more information today.

Source: http://reversemortgagedaily.com/2016/06/21/seniors-home-equity-grows-to-6-trillion-reverse-mortgage-opportunity. 2 If you qualify and your loan is approved, a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) must pay off any existing mortgage(s).
With a HECM loan, no monthly mortgage payment is required. A HECM increases the principal mortgage loan amount and decreases home equity (it is a negative amortization loan). AAG works with other lenders and nancial institutions that offer
HECMs. To process your request for a loan, AAG may forward your contact information to such lenders for your consideration of HECM programs that they offer. Borrowers are responsible for paying property taxes and homeowner’s insurance
(which may be substantial). We do not establish an escrow account for disbursements of these payments. A set-aside account can be set up to pay taxes and insurance and may be required in some cases. Borrowers must occupy home as their primary
residence and pay for ongoing maintenance; otherwise the loan becomes due and payable. The loan also becomes due and payable when the last borrower, or eligible non-borrowing surviving spouse, dies, sells the home, permanently moves
out, defaults on taxes or insurance payments, or does not otherwise comply with the loan terms. American Advisors Group (AAG) is headquartered at 3800 W. Chapman Ave., 3rd & 7th Floors, Orange CA, 92868. (Illinois Residential Mortgage

the history nerd that I am,
I added a second major in
history at the end of my
freshman year and have
loved every minute of my
time at Northwestern so far.
Go ‘Cats!
My love for journalism
comes from my love for
learning and my desire to
help create an atmosphere
of empathy in communities.
I believe that in this field, I
will constantly be given the
opportunity to learn about
a vast array of topics that I
might not normally think to
explore, and that prospect
excites me.
I have a passion for
people and for understanding
the unique stories
behind the individuals that
make up our society, and
a career in journalism will
provide me with an avenue
to meet new people and to
share their unique stories
with others. By doing this,
I hope I can contribute to
creating a more empathetic
world, even in the smallest
way.
I guess I’ll share a bit of
my unique story with you,
as well. Growing up, I was
often known as the talkative
girl who laughed a lot. It’s
safe to say that nothing
has changed. I still like to
believe that laughing makes
you live longer, so at this
rate, I think I’ll make it well
into my 200s.
I am the oldest daughter
of two immigrants; my
mother immigrated from
Poland when she was 17,
and my father — who was
in love with her — followed
her to America from
his home in Slovakia. They
gave me a home filled with
love and laughter, teaching
me to always pursue my
dreams. You could say that
their love story and their
support is what fueled my
passion for people and for
telling stories.
As the daughter of immigrants,
I grew up learning
a lot about my culture and
heritage. This sparked my
interest in the international
community, and my desire
to travel and explore other
countries. My dream is to
one day combine my passion
for journalism with my
passion for travel and share
stories about the international
community as a foreign
correspondent.
Even though I only attend
school about an hour away
from home, it’s nice to be
back for the summer, and
I’m excited to get to know
the community I come from
in a whole new way through

Pastor Column
An appropriate dress code
THE REV. THOMAS LOYA
Annunciation Byzantine
Catholic Church
As the “hazy, lazy
days of summer” are
upon us, it is time
once again for “The Talk”
by pastors to their congregations,
and, in particular,
to the ladies. The subject
of appropriate dress for
summertime church-related
events, especially worship,
is not based upon prudishness,
being “old fashioned,”
insensitivity, being out of
touch or being conservative
versus liberal. The reminder
and call to women about
modest dress in church is not
because there is something
wrong, dirty or shameful
about women’s bodies. It is
rather the opposite.
The body of womanhood
is special, precious, intrinsically
holy and dignified.
In all areas of life when
something is special or precious,
we tend to cover it,
protect it and reveal it only
at the most appropriate
times and to the most deserving
eyes. In the Catholic
and Orthodox traditions,
for example, the things
that are considered most
holy and special in worship
services are veiled or covered.
They are eventually
revealed, but only at special
times in special ways and
to special eyes during the
worship services.
Our culture encourages
women to base their choice
of dress on two things: what
is personally comfortable
and what is considered
stylish. However, when it
comes to worship, our focus
is not on what we personally
want or like or what society
dictates. The focus has to be
entirely on God.
Since God created men to
be very visual and therefore
sensitized and awed at the
intrinsic beauty and dignity
of womanhood, when
a woman’s dress reveals a
lot of her body because she
wants to stay cool in the
summertime, it is a distraction
to men but even to other
women, as well! While a
man has the obligation to
stay focused on God and
keep his gaze and thoughts
chaste, women actually exert
a major influence in either
helping or hindering a man
from striving toward prayer
and chastity.
I will go out on a limb and
recommend just a few pastoral
preferences of my own
for women’s summertime
worship attire: While I do
like full-length skirts, hemlines
that are just a bit above
the knees are still acceptable.
I prefer shoulders to be
covered. Moderate V-necks
can be acceptable, as long as
they do not plunge. Ladies,
please also be aware of the
see-through quality of the
material of certain dresses.
Ladies, keep in mind
that most if not all of you
today come from an airconditioned
home, into an
air-conditioned vehicle and
drive to an air-conditioned
house of worship. The “I
want to stay cool in the
warm weather” is a fashion
industry marketing ploy.
But most importantly, ladies,
remember that you are
special and so is God and
His house of worship.
The opinions of this column
are that of the writer. They do
not necessarily reflect those of

Cruise nights to run through September outside Big R
Vintage cars shown
off by enthusiasts
over the course of
the warmer months
Jason Maholy
Freelance Reporter
Homer Glen resident
Mike Galbraith would like
to someday own a classic
car.
“Someday, yeah, maybe a
[1966] Chevelle,” Galbraith
said of what would be his
car of choice. “It’s tough,
and it’s fast.”
Until the day he can acquire
his dream street machine,
Galbraith will have
to settle for viewing the vehicles
he admires. He was
doing just that on an outing
with his family the evening
of June 11 at the Lemont
Classic Car Club’s weekly
cruise night at the Big R
parking lot, 15830 S. Bell
Road in Homer Glen.
“I like the [1960s] cars,
the muscle cars,” he said
after snapping a photo of
his daughters, Sloane and
Linden, standing by their
favorite car at the show: A
1935 Ford Roadster soft-top
convertible sporting a pinkand-purple
paint job that
featured flames.
“The girls seemed to like
this one; they like the pink
and purple,” he said. “It’s a
little too out there for me,
but to each their own.”
The Lemont Classic Car
Club will gather in the Big
R lot from 4 to 7 p.m. every
Sunday through September.
The group returned last year
to Homer Glen — home of
the club’s original venue —
for its weekly cruise nights
after several years in another
location.
The club was founded in
2001 by a group of people
who own and drive classic
cars, but the organization
has morphed from merely
a collection of automobile
appreciators into one that
gives what it can to charitable
causes. Among the
beneficiaries of the club’s
fundraising efforts are underprivileged
children in
Lemont and TLC Animal
Shelter in Homer Glen.
“As the club grew, we
started to raise money,”
said Matt Vallio, one of the
club’s directors. “We were
trying to help people in
Lemont who need it.”
The club’s largest charitable
effort is the annual
Little Cruisers Christmas
Party for Lemont youths
and families that receive
government assistance.
The event features a visit
from Santa Claus, a meal
catered by Chesdan’s Pizzeria
& Grille — which is
just a short walk from the
cruise night grounds — and
gifts for the children, Vallio
said. Nearly 50 youths
received presents last year,
he added.
Vallio estimated the
club distributes as much as
$9,000 per year. The funds
are yielded by 50/50 raffle
ticket sales at the weekly
cruise nights, and an annual
car show in which entrants
pay $20 to show off
their vehicles, Vallio explained.
Showing off his slick ride
June 11 was Dick Meciak,
owner of the Ford Roadster
that attracted the interest of
the Galbraith girls.
“I just like all the old
Fords, especially the old
roadsters,” Meciak said.
“I’ve had cars before; more
than a few.”
Meciak is seeking to sell
the car for $38,000 after 18
years of ownership. The vehicle
was built 20 years ago
and has the original flawless
paint job and upholstery.
Meciak has made changes
to the engine, suspension
and tires, among other aspects.
“I’ve had it 18 years, and
I’ve got to do something
different,” he said. “I probably
will buy another car,
just not right away.”
One of the most unique
vehicles on display was
a rare 1968 Volkswagen
double-cab pickup, which
Orland Park residents Brad
and Maureen Nelson had
out that evening for its
maiden voyage — at least
since they purchased it last
year. The couple bought the
truck from a seller in Las
Vegas and recently picked
it up from Wisconsin, where
they had it restored and
adorned with a sharp blackand-green
paint job with
matching upholstery.
“It was rust-free, but
we stripped it all down,
took the whole thing apart
— engine, lights, glass,”
Brad explained. “All we
had to do was, basically,
sand it down and start
painting. But then there’s
the restoring.”
The side panels of the
truck’s bed can be lowered
for easy access, and the bed
with four coats of shiny
green pant is protected
with stained and lacquered
wooden slats. The backseat
of the cab is accessible from
a single door on the passenger’s
side. Behind that seat,
in the rear window, is a Bob
Marley sticker, the only
remnant from the pick-up’s
last owner.
“The guy told me he
would throw in the sticker,
so I left it on there,” Brad
laughed.
The Nelsons — Volkswagen
lovers who also own a
convertible classic Beetle
and microbus camper —
have only seen another

pickup in photographs.
From Brad’s understanding,
the man from whom he
purchased it from acquired
it from a seller in North
Dakota who had brought
the car to the United States
from England. The steering
wheel, however, is on the
left-hand side.
“They made a single
cab, as well,” Brad said.
“There’s probably three or
four around here, but I don’t
think there’s another one of
these. I’ve never seen one in
real life – just the one in my
garage.”

The Dish
Ottimo brings authentic Italian dining to Orland Park
Max Lapthorne
Contributing Editor
Tucked away in a strip
mall set back from LaGrange
Road in Orland Park is a restaurant
that seems better fit
for a small town in Italy than
a southwest suburb of Chicago.
And that is no accident.
Osteria Ottimo Ristorante
Italiano, 16111 S. LaGrange
Road, has been around since
2008, but it is meant to feel
like it’s been around for decades.
“The feel of the room, I
wanted it to feel like it had
been here for 100 years
like some old restaurant in
Rome,” chef/co-owner Patrick
Concannon said. “That’s
the look I wanted. I wanted
people to be comfortable
here.”
The idea behind the restaurant
is to combine classic Italian
dishes such as spaghetti
and meatballs and fettuccine
alfredo with more creative
offerings like salmon and
soft-shell crab. Concannon
and executive chef/co-owner
Laco Seeber want customers
to be comfortable knowing
they can stop in anytime and
order their favorite dishes,
but also keep them on their
toes with their rotating list
of specials that can contain
anywhere from 8-15 items on
any given weekend.
The classics reign supreme
A majority of the most
popular items at Ottimo come
from the core menu. The spaghetti
polpette ($14.99) is
perched atop the core menu
and its classic combination
of tomato sauce, meatballs
and Parmesan serves as the
stalwart of the restaurant’s
offerings.
The linguine vongole
($18.99) complete with
clams, white wine garlic or
spicy tomato sauce has become
a customer favorite, as
well.
“People go nuts about it,”
Seeber said.
Outside of the core menu
of classic Italian offerings,
items like the salmon con lenticci
($24.99) and costeletta
alla griglia — double cut
pork chop — ($28.99) have
loyal customer followings.
Keeping it local
One of the ways Concannon
and Seeber maintain the

quality of the servings at Ottimo
is with the ingredients.
They are passionate about
using organic, locally grown
products. One of their main
sources of local ingredients is
M&D Farms in Homer Glen,
The costeletta alla griglia ($28.99) is one of the most
popular special items at Ottimo.
Max Lapthorne/22nd Century Media
where they don’t mind paying
a slightly higher price because
they are committed to
supporting local farmers.
With the focus on freshness,
ingredients do not often
stick around in the Ottimo
kitchen for more than a day.
“We don’t have a lot of
storage, and we designed it
that way so we can’t sit on a
lot of stuff,” Concannon said.

Brookside Meadows: Phase II Grand Opening in Tinley Park
This is it! Crana Homes has announced the Grand
Opening of Brookside Meadows Phase II, the final
phase of their highly successful, award-winning
development in Tinley Park. These attractive luxury
townhomes are set in a secluded area behind a large
wooded tract with lakes and open spaces. Prices are
holding in the upper-$200s – including site - so demand
will be high and buyers are advised to visit soon while
choice sites are still available.
Following Crana Homes commitment to craftsmanship,
quality and customer satisfaction, Phase II will be the
‘best of the best’, a rare gem for first time buyers, last
time buyers or those who want a great place to raise a
family. The homes are attractive, well-built and energyefficient.
Now is the time to select a site and create a
home from the award-winning floorplans of the Fahan II
and the Lennan II.
The Fahan II is a beautiful 3,303 total square foot luxury
townhome (including a 1,216’ basement) with an attached
two-car, dry-walled garage and cement driveway. The
two-story entrance foyer is stately and inviting and leads
to a split level floor plan that has three bedrooms (fourth
bedroom optional) and two and a half baths. A large
open space kitchen with stunning granite countertops
is surrounded by generous custom maple cabinets. The
master bedroom offers an optional coffered ceiling and
Contact the Sales Center for details at 708.479.5111
and visit online any time at www.cranahomes.com
the optional master bath plan includes a soaker tub.
An elegant loft overlooks a relaxing great room adjacent
to the kitchen. Beautiful oak is selected for doors, floors,
railings and trim. Ceramic tile covers the floors in the
foyer as well as the bathrooms - which also feature
cultured marble vanity tops. A full lookout basement and
a patio are also included in the Fahan II.
The Lennan II is a comfortable two/three bedroom split
level home and includes most of the features of the Fahan
II except the spacious master suite is located on the upper
level and the
Lennan II features a comfortable dining/family room.
It has 3,167 square feet of total space (including a
1,049’ basement) with a two-car, dry-walled garage and
cement driveway.
All the Phase II homes have underground utilities, deluxe
landscaping and first floor laundry rooms. Buyers can
select options like an impressive fireplace, walkout
basement, coffered ceilings, skylights and a soaker tub in
the master bath.
All homes at Brookside Meadows include cost-efficient,
energy-saving features like a high-efficiency furnace and
Lo-E glass installed throughout. Other ‘green’ features
include an Energy Miser hot water heater, vented soffits,
1.75” insulated entrance doors, energy efficient appliances
and Tuff-R insulated wall sheathing. A sprinkler system,
smoke detectors and Lake Michigan water is provided in
all homes.
Secluded inside Tinley Park, Brookside Meadows is
still close to everything: retail, dining, transportation
routes, Metra rail station and airports. The school system
is among the best in the state and Tinley Park, named
“The Best Place In America to Raise a Family” by
Bloomberg’s BuisnessWeek maintains 40 parks and the
huge Bettenhausen indoor recreational center.
The Grand Opening of Phase II gives early buyers a fresh
set of choices at Brookside Meadows. The Sales Center,
along with fully furnished and beautifully decorated
models, is open Monday through Thursday 10:00am to
4:00pm; Saturday and Sunday from noon to 4:00pm; and
open Friday by appointment.
Options, dimensions and specs can change so contact
a Sales Associate at 708-479-5111 for any updates and
go online at www.cranahomes.com. To visit Brookside
Meadows take I-80, exit La Grange Road south for just
under two miles to La Porte Road and turn east for onehalf
mile. If mapping by way of a GPS, enter the address:
19839 Mulroy Circle, Tinley Park, IL.

Build and Move into Your New Home from the low $200s
With Lincoln-Way Schools at Prairie Trails in Manhattan
Distinctive Home Builders provides homeowners the
highest quality home on the market
Distinctive Home Builders
continues to add high quality
homes to the Manhattan
landscape at Prairie Trails; its
latest new home community,
located within the highly-regarded
Lincoln-Way School
District. Many families are
happy to call Prairie Trails
home and are pleased that
Distinctive is able to deliver a
new home with zero punch list
items in 90 days. Before closing,
each home undergoes an
industry-leading checklist that
ensures each home measures
up to the firm’s high quality
standards.
“Actually our last average
was 81 working days from excavation
to receiving a home
occupancy permit - without
sacrificing quality,” said Bryan
Nooner, president of Distinctive
Home Builders. “Everyone
at the company works
extremely hard to continually
achieve this delivery goal for
our homeowners. Our three
decades building homes provides
this efficient construction
system. Many of our
skilled craftsmen have been
working with our company for
Recently closed Prairie Trails Arbor Model
over 20 years. We also take
pride on having excellent communicators
throughout our
organization. This translates
into a positive buying and
building experience for our
homeowners and one of the
highest referral rates in the industry
for Distinctive.”
In all, buyers can select
from 13 ranch, split-level and
six two-story single-family
home styles; each offering
three to eight different exterior
elevations. The three- to
four-bedroom homes feature
two to two-and-one-half
baths, two- to three-car garages
and a family room, all in
approximately 1,600 to over
3,000 square feet of living
space. Basements are included
in most models as well. Distinctive
also encourages customization
to make your new
home truly personalized to
suit your lifestyle.
Oversize home sites; brick
exteriors on all four sides of
the first floor; custom maple
cabinets; ceramic tile or hardwood
floors in the kitchen,
baths and foyer; genuine wood
trim and doors; granite countertops
and concrete driveways
can all be yours at Prairie
Trails. All home sites at Prairie
Trails can accommodate a
three-car garage; a very important
amenity to the Manhattan
homebuyer, according
to Nooner.
“When we opened Prairie
Trails we wanted to provide
the best new home value for
the dollar and we feel with
offering Premium Standard
Features that we do just that.
So why wait? This is truly the
best time to build your dream
home!”
Distinctive offers custom
maple kitchen cabinets featuring
solid wood construction
(no particle board), have solid
wood drawers with dove tail
joints, which is very rare in the
marketplace. “When you buy
a new home from Distinctive,
you truly are receiving custom
made cabinets in every home
we sell no matter what the
price range,” noted Nooner.
Nooner added that all
homes are highly energy efficient.
Every home built will
have upgraded wall and ceiling
insulation values with
Recently closed Prairie Trails Arbor Model
energy efficient windows and
high efficiency furnaces. Before
homeowners move into
their new home, Distinctive
Home Builders conducts a
blower door test that pressurizes
the home to ensure that
each home passes a set of very
stringent Energy Efficiency
guidelines.
Typically a wide variety of
homes are available to tour
that include ranch and twostory
homes.
Distinctive is also offering
a brand new home, the
Stonegrove, a 3,000 square
foot open concept home with a
split foyer entry, formal living
and dining rooms, a two-story
great room, four bedrooms
and an upstairs laundry room.
Distinctive also offers Appbased
technology allowing its
homeowners to be updated
on the progress of their new
home 24 hours a day, seven
days a week at the touch of a
button.
Prairie Trails is also a beautiful
place to live featuring a
20-acre lake on site, as well
as direct access to the 22-mile
Wauponsee Glacial Prairie
Path that borders the community
and meanders through
many neighboring communities
and links to many other
popular trails. The Manhattan
Metra station is also nearby.
Besides Prairie Trails, Distinctive
Home Builders has
built hundreds of homes
throughout Manhattan in the
Butternut Ridge and Leighlinbridge
developments, as well
as thousands in the Will and
south Cook county areas over
the past 30 years.

center for unadvertised

styles of homes being
offered and the available lots.

with Grady Travis
Grady Travis is an incoming
freshman at Lockport Township
High School.
How did you start
cheerleading?
When I went to Kelvin
Grove, I knew I could
tumble — I taught myself
how to tumble — and some
girls on the cheer team told
me I should try out for the
team when I was in sixth
grade. I tried out [in seventh
grade], and I learned to love
it. Now, I’m in high school
cheer, and it’s awesome.
at the varsity football
games. I think that will be
awesome just to be in front
of that huge crowd. And
competition season, I’m
just so excited to compete
as a Lockport varsity cheerleader.
Do you have any precompetition
rituals?
I always like to listen to
my favorite music in the car
going to a competition. I always
have to look my best,
so I have to do my hair to its
best to make me look professional.
Looking to have a
garage sale this year?
What do you like about
it?
Everything: being a part
of the team, everyone is so
nice and all the aspects of
it like tumbling and jumping
and stunting. All of it
together makes it the best
sport ever.
How did you feel when
you found out you
made varsity?
When I saw the list, I
didn’t know how to react.
I didn’t know whether to
freak out or stay calm and
act natural. It was the best
feeling of my life. I definitely
didn’t know that was
going to happen, but it was
the greatest thing ever.
What are you most
looking forward to
about cheering with the
Porters?
I’m very excited to cheer
If you had an allexpenses
paid ticket
to go anywhere in the
world, where would
you go?
That’s a tough question. I
would probably go to London,
England because that’s
one of my favorite places in
the whole world.
If you could have any
animal as a pet, what
would you choose?
I would want a monkey.
I’ve been obsessed with
monkeys since I was like 3
years old, and I just think
they’re the coolest animal.
If you won the lottery,
what would you buy
first?
I would probably go
shopping for clothes.
What classes are you
Photo submitted
most looking forward
to taking at LTHS?
Probably French because
all my friends are doing
Spanish, and I decided to be
the odd one out and go with
French.
If you could hangout
with any celebrity, who
would you want it to
be?
I’d want to hang out
with the Dolan twins.
They’re famous YouTubers,
and I’d want to go
to their warehouse. They
have a trampoline and a
foam pit, a zipline and
everything. It just seems
awesome.

P: Marcus Seguin,
junior, LW West
6-2, 1.08 ERA, 1.06
WHIP, 47 strikeouts.

first regional title since
2012.
C: Ryan Hampe, junior,
Sandburg
.466 batting average,
7 home runs, 40 RBI,

to a supersectional
appearance.
1B: Joe Oswald, senior,
Andrew
.461 batting average,
.533 OBP, 6 home runs,
44 RBI, 12 doubles.

a big reason why, as he
led the area in RBIs.
2B: Mike Carey, junior,
Andrew
.420 batting average, 1
home run, 20 RBI, 40 runs,
3 triples, 11 stolen bases.

stolen bases.

.582 OBP, 1 home run,

Sandburg
.389 batting average, .553
OBP, 5 home runs, 23 RBI,

defending state champs
Providence in the sectional
semis.

West
.494 batting average, 1
home run, 23 RBI, 24 runs,
8 doubles, 4 triples. SWSC

his fielding but made up
for it at the dish, leading
the team in average, RBIs
and triples.
BUrNS PhoToGraPhY
OF: Dan Heilbron,
senior, Andrew
.429 batting average,
39 RBI, 36 runs, 10
doubles, 3 triples. The

senior, Providence
.346 batting average,
.514 OBP, 3 home
runs, 12 RBI, 22 runs,

to Central Michigan.
DH: Brandon Bennit,
junior, LW Central
.429 batting average,
.532 OBP, 1 home
run, 11 RBI, 26 runs

Porters put in work at football summer camp
Randy Whalen
Freelance Reporter
When the Lockport Township
football team takes the
field this fall, there will be
another packed house to
cheer them on.
The Porters open at home
Aug. 25 against Downers
Grove North and are coming
off their first playoff appearance
in five years. What
some of the numerous fans
that will be in attendance
for that game do not think
about is how long the Porters
prepare before the first
game.
It all starts at football camp
in early June. This season’s
camp opened June 5 and runs
through July 20. Sessions are
held from 7-10:30 a.m. every
Monday through Thursday at
the high school. There is no
camp, however, the week of
July 4.
“I think we’re all excited,
kids and coaches, to improve
on last year,” Lockport coach
Dan Starkey said. “It was
good to see the turnaround
and the buzz about school.
We want to see that again and
improve on it.”
In order to do that, it all
starts in the summer camp.
As the Porter football camp
description says, “[It] will
stress the fundamentals of
the game and give campers
an opportunity to build upon
individual techniques on the
field and in strength and conditioning
in the LTHS weight
room. In addition, all players
will get on the field experience
in the Lockport offensive
and defensive systems,

Kokosz (right) before throwing a pass Thursday, June 15,

school’s East Campus football field. Erin Redmond/22nd

as well as on special teams.”
“It’s just getting to know
everyone better, and to get
better and stronger and
ready for the season,” senior
tight end and linebacker
Austin Hoffman said. “Just
getting back on the field and
playing.”
But the camp is more than
weight lifting and field experience.
Starkey and staff do
tons of instructing, and there
is opportunity to work with
Lockport alum Nick Setta
and Setta Performance on
both weight training and flexibility.
“The IHSA gives us 25
contact days,” Starkey said
of the summer camp. “We try
to use all of them. There’s a
lot of different levels going.
We lift and do football stuff
every day.”
An LTHS lineman — on
both the offense and defensive
side — is Tommy
Mulhall. The senior, who
enters his third varsity season,
played about half and
half between offensive and
defensive line last year. But
this season, he hopes to play
a little more on one side of
the ball.
“Last year, I was a 50/50
guy,” he said of splitting the
offense and defense time.
“Hopefully, I’ll be a little
more defensive line this
season. You have to be versatile
and be able to line up
anywhere. Ever since coach
Starkey has been here [since
2014], it’s been a relentless
effort day in and day out.”
Only 25 seniors graduated
from last season’s 70-man
squad, which finished 6-4, so
there are a lot of returners expected
for this season.
Through it all, Mulhall and
his fellow seniors will savor
it all, even the early practices
and workouts.
“I’m trying to look at everything
different,” Mulhall
said of his final high school
season. “I want to value everything,
because it’s my last
time playing here [for the
Porters]. But I can feel it. The
Lockport spirit is back.”

The Providence Catholic
High School football program
will soon begin its 50th
anniversary season.
Since the first game was
played in 1968, the program
has earned 10 state championships
and produced hundreds
of college football
players, with alumni having
played and coached for the
National Football League.
Providence football holds
the state record for nine state
semifinal appearances from
1994 to 2002 and a 50-game
winning streak from 1994 to
1997. The Celtics won four
consecutive state championships
from 1994 to 1997,
with 24 consecutive playoff
victories from 1994 to 1998.
Providence has reached the
Illinois High School Association
Playoffs 32 times, 19
of which were consecutive.
Alumni of the storied program
created the Celtic Football
Alumni Club in 2015 and
hosted its first golf outing the
same year. The club is preparing
for its second outing

Country Club, 14200 Parker
Road, Homer Glen.
Membership in the Celtic
Alumni Football Club is open
to anyone who played varsity
football at Providence, according
to Nick Stanton, a
LISTEN UP
“I think we’re all excited, kids and coaches, to improve on
last year. It was good to see the turnaround and the buzz
about school. We want to see that again and improve on it.”

Minooka 6, Lockport 3
Josh Bentley and Sean
Greaney each notched two
hits apiece June 14, but it was
not enough to lift Lockport
past Minooka — despite getting
a few extra innings.
With inclement weather
looming in the offseason
contest, the Porters and Indians’
doubleheader was
combined into one 10-inning
game. Unfortunately for
Lockport, the Porters were
on the losing end, falling 6-3
in Minooka.
Lockport scored three
runs in the top of the seventh,
cutting Minooka’s lead
to 4-3. Two walks put runners
in scoring position for
Bentley, who singled on a fly
ball to center field to score
CJ Weins. An error by the
Minooka center fielder on
the next play allowed both
Jimmy Heintz and Bentley
to score.
Minooka closed the door
for good in the bottom of
the ninth with a two-run RBI
double.
Bentley finished 2-for-
4 with a double, run and a
walk. Greany went 2-for-3,
while Weins was 1-for-3 with
a run and a walk.
Eight pitchers took the
bump for Lockport during
the game, but it was Jacob
Goss who was handed the
loss. Goss allowed two runs
on one hit, struck out one and
walked one in an inning of
work.
