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.

FROM THE ORLAND PARK PRAIRIE
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 school students.
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.

FROM THE LOCKPORT LEGEND
Greenan named principal
of Lockport Township High
School East Campus
On April 15, the Lockport
Township High School
District 205 Board of Education
named John Greenan
the new principal of East
Campus.
Greenan is the vice principal
and is to replace Principal
Dennis Hicks when
he retires at the end of the
school year.
Greenan is a 17-year
veteran of the district, and
he said it is an honor to be
named principal.
Greenan started with the
district out of college and
was first hired as a social
studies teacher and basketball
coach. Since then, he
has worked at both the Central
and East campuses.
But Greenan was a fan of
the district even before he
worked there.
Since then, he has come
to understand that pride.
Greenan said he does
not foresee any specific
challenges or needs for
the school he must address
as principal outside of
those needs common to all
schools — safety and social
media education.
