“Shoutout to Bri for earning the first JV<br />
practice Spirit stick of the season. Bri was very<br />
coachable today and adjusted well to new<br />
changes. She also threw her standing BHS and<br />
kept a smile on her face, even when frustrated.<br />
Keep it up, Bri!”<br />

I<br />
had the privilege<br />
of attending Miles<br />
Boykin’s visit to fire<br />
Station No. 46 in Tinley<br />
Park on July 10. With his<br />
busy schedule after being<br />
drafted by the Baltimore<br />
Ravens in April, he still<br />
made time to come home<br />
for a great cause. This<br />
was my first time meeting<br />
Boykin, and I must<br />
say, his love for Tinley is<br />

ment. As of press time, Lt.<br />
Ken Rosinski said a motive<br />
was not yet known, but the<br />
manner — the offender<br />
rang the doorbell and did<br />
not enter the home — suggests<br />
it was targeted. The<br />
incident occurred at 9:11<br />
p.m. in the 9600 block of<br />
Kris Trail.<br />
The weapon, a 40 caliber<br />
semi-automatic gun,<br />
was fired through the<br />
still-closed door, which is<br />
glass, Rosinski noted.<br />
Rosinski said police did<br />
not believe there was any<br />
danger to the public.<br />
The victim was transported<br />
to Christ Hospital<br />
and reportedly was in stable<br />
condition.<br />
The alleged offender<br />
was described as a black<br />
male in his mid-20s who<br />
may have been driving a<br />

He came to sign a No.<br />
81 Notre Dame jersey,<br />
which was the number<br />
he wore during his<br />
career there the last few<br />
years. The jersey will be<br />
auctioned at the Tinley<br />
Park Firefighters Association<br />
2nd Annual Charity<br />
Golf Outing to be held<br />
July 25. You can read<br />
more about the fundraising<br />
event on Page 3. All<br />
of the proceeds from the<br />
event are to go to GiGi’s<br />
Playhouse in Tinley Park.<br />
The mission of GiGi’s<br />
Playhouse, according to<br />
its website, is “to change<br />
the way the world views<br />
Down syndrome and to<br />
send a global message of<br />
acceptance for all.”<br />
Last year, the firefighters<br />
association donated<br />

Boykin has known<br />
the vice president of the<br />
association since he was<br />
in fifth grade, so it only<br />
made sense to him to<br />
come and help out those<br />
who have supported him<br />
all these years.<br />
But that’s what impressed<br />
me the most—<br />
Boykin is so humble.<br />
Sure, he’s going on to<br />
play professional football,<br />
but unless he told<br />
you, you would never<br />
know. It speaks volumes<br />
to how much Tinley has<br />
impacted him, from his<br />

When I spoke with him<br />
he kept stressing the fact<br />
that Tinley has supported<br />
him so much that he<br />
wants to do the same for<br />
his hometown. For just a<br />
few hours on July 10, he<br />
did what he could to take<br />
part in something that<br />
directly helps the people<br />
of Tinley. While he can’t<br />
attend the actual event on<br />
July 25 due to training<br />
camp, he made it a priority<br />
to do what he could<br />
in what little time he had<br />
and that in itself is quite<br />
admiring.
