FROM THE TINLEY JUNCTION
Hollywood Casino
Amphitheatre seeks
additional sales of liquor
at venue
Patrons of the Hollywood
Casino Amphitheatre
may soon have more
ways to purchase alcohol.
The Tinley Park Village
Board voted 5-0 on April
16 to direct the Village attorney
to draft an ordinance
that would amend the liquor
license classifications
for the concert venue.
A vote on final approval
of the ordinance is expected
during the board’s first
meeting in May.
Per the request, representatives
from Hollywood
Casino Amphitheatre
and Legends Music
LLC, are asking for changes
to the venue’s Class I
and J licenses.
Changes to the Class I license
would include allowing
for the sale of alcohol
within the fence line and
at two designated points
of sale; within a secured,
temporarily fenced-in area
for events during which allday
concerts are playing in
the parking lot; and within
an extended fence line outside
of Gate 4 (and possibly
Gate 3, if attendance is
more than 23,000).
Other changes to the
Class I license would allow
for the sale of wine in
recyclable cans and wine
coolers up to 25 ounces,
as well as mobile vendors
selling alcohol in the lawn
section.
Changes to the Class J
license would include the
sale of wine in recyclable
cans and of wine coolers
up to 25 ounces.

New health fair gets
Sandburg students
socializing
Sean Airola cannot help
himself when it comes to
revamping what physical
education and health can
mean for high schoolers.
After last year unveiling
a more tech-heavy
curriculum to update
physical education for
2018, Airola — Sandburg
High School’s division
chairman for physical education,
health and sports
medicine — was sitting
on the pool deck, thinking
about how he could
improve mental and social
well-being education
as the next step forward,
as the mind and body are
“one big whole.”
And Sandburg’s inaugural
Mental-Emotional-Social
Health Fair was born.
The fair kicked off the

morning of Thursday, April
18, with a keynote presentation
from Karissa Kouchis,
a Sandburg graduate
who now works with Tony
Robbins. She spent time
in the school’s Performing
Arts Center teaching students
how they can harness
and focus their emotions to
achieve their goals.
That was a goal of the
program as a whole: to
take students at an age
when their chemistry and
emotions are changing,
and give different personalities
the chance to interact,
open up to one another
and feel comfortable with
themselves.

guru Dave Ramsey, students
have been learning
about saving and spending
money, managing loans,
insurance plans, investments,
and more.
Ramsey is a personal
money-management expert
and a national radio
host. He has seven bestselling
books. And though
Ramsey is a trusted voice,
what he says is not always
a hard and fast rule, and
Glynn makes sure his students
understand multiple
points of view of personal
finance.
The class is offered at no

FROM THE MOKENA MESSENGER
Putting down roots:
Mokena Fellowship Center
seeks permanent home
The concept of “home”
is a universal one. The idea
conjures feelings of comfort,
safety and familiarity.
It is something that we, as
a species, hold dear.
To that end, Mokena
Fellowship Center is to
hold a fundraiser from 1-5
p.m. May 4 at Lincolnway
