A winner from each grade level will receive a ride to school in a police vehicle during the first week of class. Please limit submissions to one entry per child. Tinley man sentenced to more than 11 years in prison for selling guns and heroin Jacquelyn Schlabach Editor A Tinley Park man was sentenced May 29 to 11-and-a-half years in prison for selling heroin and guns to an informant working on behalf of law enforcement in 2017, according to a statement released by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois. Antoine Jackson, 42, sold heroin, three guns and ammunition to an informant— which was unknown to him at the time— in the summer of 2017. According to the statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Jackson netted a total of $6,565 in cash from the sales. He also sold heroin to the informant in December 2017 and March 2018, earning him $4,500. Jackson reportedly pleased guilty last year to one count of dealing firearms without a license, one count of distribution of a controlled substance, and one count of using and carrying a firearm during a drug trafficking crime. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, two of the deals occurred at Jackson’s residence in Tinley Park and another one occurred in a Tinley Park forest preserve. The guns sold included an AK-47 rifle and two handguns, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Jackson reportedly referred to himself as a “one stop shop” for firearms and narcotics to the informant during one of the deals. FROM THE FRANKFORT STATION Relay for Life to raise more funds for American Cancer Society Area residents will continue the American Cancer Society’s tradition of supporting cancer research and honoring cancer survivors this week at the Relay for Life of Greater Will County. The annual event is scheduled from 3-11 p.m. Saturday, June 8, at the Lincoln-Way North building, 19900 S. Harlem Ave. in Frankfort. For Event Chairperson DeAnn Anzaldi, a breast cancer survivor, seeing all of the cancer survivors wear the event’s distinctive purple shirts gives her hope. “The more purple shirts, that means that more people are beating the disease,” she said. “That’s why I feel special about it. I know the American Cancer Society does a lot of great things, but for me, it’s just a symbol. If there’s 100 purple shirts out there, it gives me inspiration that it can be beat.” This year, 15 teams are participating in the Relay for Life, with an average of 10 people per team. Anzaldi expects 200-300 attendees, including walkers, vendors, survivors and members of the event committee. Anzaldi said she hopes this year’s relay raises approximately $15,000. “It’s for research,” she said. “It’s for any of the programs that the American Cancer Society provides. ... They have programs for cancer survivors going through treatment.” Reporting by Nuria Mathog, Editor. For more, visit Frank fortStation.com. FROM THE NEW LENOX PATRIOT Doughnuts and beer making return to Arrowhead Ales for Father’s Day Not too long ago, Arrowhead Ales Brewing Company in New Lenox teamed up with Home Cut Donuts in Joliet to create a beer. All 700 22-ounce bottles of that beer sold in one hour. So, the two entities are coming together again to make twice the amount of beer this time around, adding a blueberry variant set to come out on Father’s Day, Sunday, June 16. “It’s going to be a good day,” said Mike Bacon, owner and head brewer of Arrowhead. “We’re offering a special menu with traditional barbecue items paired with our new beer releases. It’s a great way to spend Father’s Day — barbecue, beer, doughnuts.” The beer’s release was originally slated for the Saturday of Father’s Day weekend, but now being on Father’s Day it gives people something unique to do on that day. “[We said] let’s gear it toward Father’s Day and give people something else fun to do,” Bacon said. “It’s something that nobody else is doing around here.” Arrowhead Ales opens at 11 a.m. on June 16 and is located at 2101 Calistoga Drive in New Lenox.

FROM THE HOMER HORIZON Cruise nights ride back into Big R parking lot for 2019 season There is nothing quite like spending a day in the sun, listening to oldies and looking underneath the hood of classic cars. After getting rained out with its first attempt at its season opener, the Lemont Classic Car Club held its first weekly cruise night of the 2019 season on May 26 in the Big R parking lot. The parking lot was filled with cars of all makes and models, from vintage to modern. And with every car was a story its driver was excited to tell. Since the club’s founding as a nonprofit in 2001, the Lemont Classic Car Club has used its classic cars to raise money for local charities. By using funds raised from weekly 50/50 raffles at cruise nights, as well as entry fees to the annual car show, the group has been able to assist charities in the community such as One Step at a Time, a camp for children with cancer; Shady Oaks, a camp for people with disabilities; and the TLC Animal Shelter. For club secretary Sharen Moscato, of Homer Glen, classic cars and charity go together. The car club will gather in the Big R lot from 4-7 p.m. every Sunday through September.
