Centennial Drive, Tinley Park (one block west of Oak Park Ave., behind Menards) Join Dr. Daniel Weber for an enlightening seminar about causes and treatment of hip pain, including the benefits of the “anterior approach,” which requires only one small incision on the front of the hip, without detaching underlying muscles. The technique greatly reduces the discomfort and time associated with recovery. New treatment options can help improve your quality of life. If hip pain is slowing you down, find out how you can get moving again. Registration is required. Seating is limited. Reserve your place at 708.915.PAIN (7246) or www.Ingalls.org/classes.

opprairie.com News the orland park prairie | October 5, 2017 | 11 Dressing up is fun with return of 22CM’s annual Halloween contests Readers can dress pumpkins or themselves for chance at prizes Bill Jones, Editor Boo! Sorry. Couldn’t help ourselves. Just like Monsters Inc., “We scare because we care.” We care so much, in fact, that we at 22nd Century Media Southwest Chicago are giving you five (5!) ways to win prizes this Halloween season. So, whether you are crafting the best holiday costume or carving the most intricate of gourds, you have a shot at some wicked swag. Details for each are below, but questions can be directed to Managing Editor Bill Jones at bill@opprairie. com or (708) 326-9170 ext. 20. The Costumes First, our Halloween Costume Contest for 2017 features a total of three categories. Adults 16 and older have two ways to win, with awards for scariest costume and most creative up for grabs. Children 15 and younger, meanwhile, will compete in one category in which creativity is key. We’re going to pick just one winner across each category from all seven of our southwest suburban towns: Orland Park, Tinley Park, Frankfort, Mokena, New Lenox, Homer Glen and Lockport. So, your entries need to be good. We have just a few rules. 1) You have to be the person in the costume. You cannot submit for anyone else, with the exception of parents who submit for their children. 2) Each person can only submit one costume for an entry (basically, you cannot send yourself in multiple costumes — pick one), though families can send one entry per person from different members of the family (and they can be submitted together). 3) We understand there may be a bit in the way of scary imagery (such is the nature of the holiday), but the costumes have to be relatively family friendly to be considered and published. Nothing beyond PG-13. 4) Entries must be submitted no later than 2 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 1, to bill@ opprairie.com or 22nd Century Media, c/o Managing Editor Bill Jones, at 11516 W. 183rd St. Unit SW Office Condo 3, Orland Park, IL, 60467 (physical entries cannot be returned), along with names, email addresses and/or phone numbers, and towns for each of the entrants. 5) The entries will be judged by 22nd Century Media’s editorial staff, with winners being chosen based on creativity, successful execution of an idea, quality of craftsmanship and consideration of the holiday/ season. 6) All entries are subject to being published. The prizes are detailed in the accompanying sidebar. The Prizes A breakdown of the prizes available in 22nd Century Media’s 2017 Halloween Costume Contest, by category.
