SAFETY TIPS

After the incredible disappointment of last

year’s cancelation, it’s great to have trick-ortreating

back on the calendar this year. Let’s

continue to be as safe as possible though, in

every respect. Note that Halloween masks

typically are not designed to protect against

COVID-19, and that use of hand sanitizer is

encouraged.

Parents are also encouraged to accompany

children when they make their rounds. Police

will also have extra officers on patrol during

trick-or-treat hours, where they’ll be watching

for Halloween pranksters.

Police encourage parents and trick-or-treaters to

bypass homes where there are no lights.

If you’re visiting cousins or friends to go trickor-treating

in other towns, make sure that you

www.crestwood.illinois.gov

observe that municipality’s trick-or-treating

hours.

Here are some additional safety tips to help your

Halloween experience be a safe and fun time:

• Have a trusted adult with you.

• Wear something bright, or, better still,

something reflective.

• Bring a flashlight.

• Walk with a friend.

• Look both ways before crossing streets or

alleyways.

• Only visit homes that are well lit.

• Never enter a stranger’s home.

• Sort your candy and inspect before eating.

• above guidelines.

Dear Neighbors,

It’s hard to believe that fall is already here and

that the holidays are once again just around the

corner. Things have a tendency to get busier

around this time of year, but I hope that you

won’t be too busy to attend the Fine Arts Fair

Nov. 14th, hosted by our own Crestwood Art

Council. This event will be held at the Crestwood

Recreation & Wellness Center Sunday, Nov.

14th, from 10:00am-3:00pm. In addition to the

opportunity of taking a look at the work of some

of our Village’s artists and sampling some wines

and cheeses, you’ll be able to pick up your surplus

rebate checks — a time-honored tradition here in

Crestwood.

Remember that before you pick up your checks,

residents must pick up and fill out the necessary

forms that currently are available at the Village

Hall (13800 S. Cicero Ave.) and return them to us

at the Village Hall no later than 12:00pm on

Thursday, Nov. 5th.

While you’re at the Fine Arts Fair picking up

your check, I sincerely hope that as many as

possible will also consider donating blood at the

blood drive being set up at the event by the fine

folks at Vitalant. Due to the pandemic and the

need for continued caution, the blood supply for

those who may need it has been considerably

diminished. I hope that everyone who is qualified

and able to will consider giving some of their

blood to help others in need. Here in Crestwood,

it’s what we do.

Speaking of the pandemic and helping others,

we are delighted that the Stimulus Voucher

Program was such a success that we were able to

sustain the restaurants and retail stores here in

the Village. Let’s carry that spirit of caring and

giving into the upcoming holiday season. When

you do your Christmas shopping, before you buy

that gift for your loved one, ask yourself, “Could

I buy locally?” This is such an important part of

supporting the community in which we all live.

Please remember to shop locally.

One item of note regarding our public areas — we

will be freshening up Walker Park. The Village is

putting all-new rubber mulch in the playground

area. We look forward to seeing our young people

enjoying the park with greater safety, and we

can’t wait for everyone to be able to enjoy it.

Finally, let’s also remember that at the end of this

month, we’ll once again have trick-or-treaters

on our streets, after a big disappointment was

handed to them by COVID last year. Let’s be

extra patient, extra nice, and when possible,

extra generous to those kids who were denied

their fun in 2020. Trick-or-treating will take

place from 3:00-7:00pm on Sunday, Oct. 31st.

Remember that some kids may be wearing masks

that impair their vision, so please use caution and

look out for them as we drive our Village streets.

Thank you in advance for your consideration and

cooperation.

Sincerely,

Mayor Lou Presta

Village of Crestwood Parking

Crestwood Village ordinance prohibits parking on any village street between 2:00am and

6:00am. The reason for this ordinance is so police will be alerted to abandoned vehicles or

suspicious vehicles that require investigation. This ordinance also ensures that all streets

throughout the Village will be open to fire and rescue equipment in the event of an

overnight emergency. This is especially necessary in areas where narrow streets can block

large fire trucks. We will continue to enforce this ordinance. Thank you for your cooperation

with this ordinance. The initial fine for this violation is $75.00. This is a Village-wide

ordinance. PLEASE BE SURE THAT YOUR LATE NIGHT AND OVERNIGHT GUESTS

ARE MADE AWARE OF THIS AS WELL!

Breast Cancer: What

You Should Know

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month

— when we typically try to focus light on this

devastating disease, its detection and treatment.

But this awareness needs to be in place yearround

if we’re really going to reduce its impact.

Everyone should learn to recognize the signs

and symptoms of breast cancer, and any time a

lump or other anomaly is discovered, it warrants

investigation by a physician. At the same time,

it’s important to note that the presence of

symptoms do not necessarily indicate breast

cancer — but caution and early detection are

key, and that means regular self-examinations,

and mammograms every year or two for women

under 40, and more frequently — consult your

physician — for women over 40 OR who have

elevated risk factors for breast cancer.

HOW TO PERFORM A SELF-EXAM:

In the Shower – With the pads/flats of your

three middle fingers, check the entire breast

and armpit area, pressing down with light,

Breast Cancer Facts

• In 2021, an estimated 281,550 new cases of

invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in

women in the U.S. as well as 49,290 new cases of

non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer.

• Sixty-three percent of breast cancer cases are

diagnosed at a localized stage (i.e., there is no

sign that the cancer has spread outside of the

breast), for which the 5-year survival rate is 99

percent.

• This year, an estimated 43,600 women will die

from breast cancer in the U.S.

• Although rare, men get breast cancer too. At the

start of this year, it was estimated that 2,650 men

medium and firm pressure. Check both breasts

each month, feeling for any lump, thickening,

hardened knot, or any other breast changes.

In Front of a Mirror – Visually inspect your

breasts with your arms at your sides. Then raise

your arms overhead and look for any changes

in the contour, any swelling, or dimpling of the

skin, or changes in the nipples. Next, rest your

palms on your hips and press firmly to flex your

chest muscles. Left and right breasts will not

exactly match — few women’s breasts do, so

look for any dimpling, puckering, or changes,

particularly on one side.

Lying Down – When lying down, the breast

tissue spreads out evenly along the chest wall.

Place a pillow under your right shoulder and

your right arm behind your head. Using your left

hand, move the pads of your fingers around your

right breast gently covering the entire breast

area and armpit.

Use light, medium, and firm pressure. Squeeze

the nipple; check for discharge and lumps.

Repeat these steps for your left breast.

would be diagnosed with breast cancer in the U.S.

in 2021, and that approximately 530 would die.

• One in eight women in the United States will be

diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.

• Breast cancer is the most common cancer in

American women, except for skin cancers. It is

estimated that in 2021, approximately 30 percent

of all new women cancer diagnoses will be breast

cancer.

• There are more than 3.8 million breast cancer

survivors in the United States.

• On average, every 2 minutes a woman is

diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States.

Welcome Home, Neighbor!!!

Oak Forest mom Melanie Stump reached out to assist in

welcoming home Marine Cpl. Dominic Stump from his recent

tour, from which his unit was evacuated during the recent troop

withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Cpl. Stump arrived on Wednesday, Sept. 22nd, 2021, to an

effervescence of pride and joy at Midway Airport, and the

celebration lasted the entire route home to Oak Forest. There

were cheers and salutations down Cicero Ave., and Crestwood’s

first responders were part of the welcome. Cicero Ave. saw the

bright lights of our Fire, Police and EMA, underneath the highflying

flag of the United States of America in front of Village

Hall.

We are proud to have one of our residents, Nate Wielgosiak,

partake in the escort in his biker group, the Illinois Patriot

Guard, known for their honorable processions bringing home

soldiers in both joyous occasions and in sorrow. Crestwood

resident Dave Gier, longtime Sr. Captain rider with Illinois

Patriot Guard, emphatically states, “As long as these young men

and women are willing to serve our country, we will be there for

them!”

Welcome home, Cpl. Stump — we thank you for your service.

Marine Cpl. Dominic Stump was recently honored with a

patriotic procession upon his return from Afghanistan.

Stump back home after his recent

tour in Afghanistan.

Prep Your Lawn Now

for Winter and Spring

In fall, we need to start thinking about preparing

our lawns for the fast-approaching winter and the

coming spring. At this time of year, grass is busily

absorbing water, energy, and nutrients before the

frost hits and the lawn is dormant for the season.

By following these tips from Popular Mechanics and

Lawn Doctor, you can help your lawn stay healthy

and lush come spring.

1. Fertilize your lawn. Fertilization can give your

lawn a nutrient boost that can be stored and

used through the winter. Most experts, Popular

Mechanics writes, say that if you only fertilize

annually, you should do it in the fall since grass

roots and rhizomes (stems right beneath the

soil’s surface) continue to grow quickly through

the fall. Wait until mid-to-late fall, then apply a

dry lawn fertilizer to all grassy areas; be careful

not to miss any spots. You could use a crankstyle

broadcast spreader, but for optimum

coverage, consider using a walk-behind drop

spreader. It takes a little longer, especially on

hilly yards, but it is the best way to apply an

even, consistent layer of fertilizer.

2. Keep mowing and watering your lawn

throughout the fall. Toward the end of fall,

drop the mower's blade to its lowest setting

for the last two cuttings of the year. That will

allow more sunlight to reach the crown of the

grass, and there will be less leaf to turn brown

during the winter. As you lower the blade, just

remember not to trim off more than one-third

of the grass blades at any one time. If necessary,

gradually lower the cutting height until the

time of the final two cuttings.

3. Rake or blow your lawn clean at least once a

week. This not only improves the appearance

of your lawn, but leaves block out sunlight,

and your lawn needs sunlight to store food for

the winter. If you wait until all the leaves have

fallen, they will get wet from rain and dew,

stick together and suffocate the grass, breeding

fungal diseases. If you don’t want to rake, you

can use a lawnmower that has a collection bag

or vacuum.

5K Run/Walk to Help

Provide Transitional

Housing for Those in Need

On Saturday, Oct. 16th, area residents will have the opportunity

to offer a second chance to those in need. Filling the Gap, a notfor-profit

organization dedicated to providing dignified and

transformational housing to people who need it, will host a 5K

run or walk at St. Julie Billiart Roman Catholic Church in Tinley

Park. The group is currently sustaining its program at the Sycamore

House, but is looking to expand its vision of creating environments

in the South Suburbs of Chicago where residents looking to rebuild

their lives can find the stability they need to get back on their feet.

For more information on Filling the Gap, visit fillingthegapnfp.com.

To register for the 5K, please use the QR code on the

Pappas: 36,000 Properties

Part of Cook County’s First

Tax Sale in 2+Years; 19,000

Owe Less Than $1,000

Check your properties before sale starts Nov. 5

Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas will conduct the first sale in

more than two years, of delinquent Cook County property taxes,

on Nov. 5th, 2021.

About $163.4 million in unpaid 2018 property taxes (that were

to be paid in 2019) is due on 36,000 homes, businesses and land.

Less than $1,000 is owed on 11,744 properties in Chicago, and

7,700 properties in suburban Cook County.

Pappas is sending owners of those properties a certified mailing

informing them that their unpaid taxes are scheduled to be sold,

which would put a lien against their properties. It is the first step

in a process that can end with the loss of a property.

Owners can avoid the Tax Sale by paying the delinquent taxes and

interest before the sale begins. To see if your taxes are delinquent

— and to make a payment — visit cookcountytreasurer.com

and select “Avoid the Tax Sale.” You can search by address or by

Property Index Number (PIN).

“About 75 percent of the taxes offered for sale are for properties in

majority Black and Latino communities,” Pappas said. “That’s why

Black and Latino Houses Matter, my program to help homeowners

find refunds and apply for tax exemptions, is so important.”

Owners may be unaware the taxes on their properties are headed

to the Tax Sale because the U.S. Postal Service has returned bills

and subsequent notices on 17,702 properties.

Also, as many as 207 seniors may be missing a senior exemption

and 184 seniors may be eligible for a senior freeze — two

exemptions that could reduce their tax bill. “Everyone should visit

cookcountytreasurer.com for more information,” Pappas said.

Per Illinois law, the annual Tax Sale traditionally is conducted

13 months after the due date but was delayed because of the

COVID-19 pandemic. Pappas plans to conduct the sale for 2019

unpaid taxes in May and for the 2020 taxes in November 2022.

Halloween is a fun, and spooky,

time of year for kids. Make

trick-or-treating safe for your little

monsters with a few easy safety tips.

Halloween Fire Safety Tips

KKK When choosing a costume, stay away from long trailing

fabric. If your child is wearing a mask, make sure the eye

holes are large enough so he or she can see out.

KKK Provide children with flashlights to carry for lighting or

glow sticks as part of their costume.

KKK Dried flowers, cornstalks and crepe paper catch fire

easily. Keep all decorations away from open flames

and other heat sources like light bulbs and heaters.

KKK Use a battery-operated candle or glow-stick in jack-olanterns.

If you use a real candle, use extreme caution.

Make sure children are watched at all times when

candles are lit. When lighting candles inside jack-olanterns,

use long, fireplace-style matches or a utility

lighter. Be sure to place lit pumpkins well away from

anything that can burn and far enough out of the way

of trick-or-treaters, doorsteps, walkways and yards.

KKK Remember to keep exits clear of decorations, so

nothing blocks escape routes.

KKK Make sure all smoke alarms in the home are working.

KKK Tell children to stay away from open flames including

jack-o-lanterns with candles in them. Be sure they know

how to stop, drop and roll if their clothing catches fire.

(Have them practice, stopping immediately, dropping

to the ground, covering their face with hands, and

rolling over and over to put the flames out.)

“Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety” NFPA’s Theme for Fire Prevention Week 2021

The National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA),

the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week

for more than 95 years, has announced “Learn

the Sounds of Fire Safety” as the theme for Fire

Prevention Week 2021, Oct. 3-9. From beeps to

chirps, this year’s campaign works to better educate

the public about the sounds smoke alarms make,

what those sounds mean, and how to respond to

them.

“Smoke alarms have played a leading role in

reducing fire death rates over the past 40 years,

but we still have more work to do in maximizing

their effectiveness,” said Lorraine Carli, NFPA vice

president of Outreach and Advocacy.

According to the latest NFPA “Smoke Alarms in

the U.S.” report, working smoke alarms in the

home reduce the risk of dying in a reported fire by

more than half. However, almost three out of five

home fire deaths occur in homes with no smoke

alarms (41 percent) or smoke alarms that failed to

operate (16 percent); missing or non-functional

power sources, including missing or disconnected

batteries, dead batteries, and disconnected

hardwired alarms or other AC power issues, are the

This year’s FPW campaign, “Learn the Sounds of

Fire Safety!” works to educate everyone about the

different sounds the smoke and carbon monoxide

alarms make. Knowing what to do when an alarm

sounds will keep you and your family safe. When

an alarm makes noises — a beeping sound or a

chirping sound — you must take action.

Frequently Asked Questions about smoke and

carbon monoxide (CO) alarms.

Q: What if someone in my home is deaf or hard

of hearing?

A: There are smoke alarms and alert devices that

alert people who are deaf or hard of hearing. These

devices include strobe lights that flash to alert

people when the smoke alarm sounds. Pillow or bed

shakers designed to work with your smoke alarm

also can be purchased and installed.

Q: What’s the difference between smoke

alarms and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms?

Why do I need both?

A: Smoke alarms sense smoke well before you can,

alerting you to danger. In the event of fire, you may

have as little as 2 minutes to escape safely, which

is why smoke alarms need to be in every bedroom,

outside of the sleeping areas (like a hallway), and

most common factors when smoke alarms fail to

operate.

“People tend to remove smoke alarm batteries or

dismantle alarms altogether when the alarm begins

to chirp as a result of low batteries or the alarm is

no longer working properly, or when experiencing

nuisance alarms,” said Carli. “These behaviors

present serious risks to safety that can have tragic

consequences in the event of a fire.”

This year’s Fire Prevention Week theme, “Learn

the Sounds of Fire Safety,” helps people better

understand the reasons smoke alarms may

sound, and provides the know-how to effectively

address them. The campaign also addresses special

considerations for the deaf and hard of hearing,

along with information about carbon monoxide

alarms.

“Giving people the tools to properly respond to

alarms sounding — whether it’s an actual fire or

simply time to change a battery — can make a lifesaving

difference,” said Carli.

Key messages for “Learn the Sounds of Fire

Making the Most of Fire Prevention Week

on each level (including the basement). Do not put

smoke alarms in your kitchen or bathrooms.

Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas

that displaces oxygen in your body and brain,

and can render you unconscious before you even

realize something is happening to you. Without

vital oxygen, you are at risk of death from carbon

monoxide poisoning in a short time. CO alarms

detect the presence of carbon monoxide and alert

you so you can get out, call 9-1-1, and let the

professionals check your home.

Q: How do I know which smoke and CO alarm

to choose for my home?

A: Choose an alarm that is listed with a testing

laboratory, meaning it has met certain standards

for protection. Whether you select a unit that

requires yearly changing of batteries, or a 10-year

unit that you change out at the end of the 10 years,

either will provide protection.

CO alarms also have a battery backup. Choose

one that is listed with a testing laboratory. For

the best protection, use combination smoke and

carbon monoxide alarms that are interconnected

throughout the home. These can be installed by a

qualified electrician, so that when one sounds, they

all sound. This ensures you can hear the alarm no

matter where in your home the alarm originates.

Safety” include:

• When a smoke alarm or carbon monoxide (CO)

alarm sounds, respond immediately by exiting

the home as quickly as possible.

• If your alarm begins to chirp, it may mean

that the batteries are running low and need

to be replaced. If the alarm continues to chirp

after the batteries are replaced, or the alarm is

more than 10 years old, it is time to replace the

alarm.

• Test all smoke and CO alarms monthly. Press

the test button to make sure the alarm is

working.

• If there is someone in your household who is

deaf or hard of hearing, install bed shaker and

strobe light alarms that will alert that person to

fire.

• Know the difference between the sound of a

smoke alarm and a carbon monoxide alarm —

three beeps for smoke alarms; four beeps for

carbon monoxide alarms.

Importance of Fire Prevention

In a fire, mere seconds can mean the difference

between a safe escape and a tragedy. Fire safety

education isn’t just for school children. Teenagers,

adults, and the elderly are also at risk in fires,

making it important for every member of the

community to take some time every October during

Fire Prevention Week to make sure they understand

how to stay safe in case of a fire.

About Fire Prevention Week

Since 1922, the NFPA has sponsored the public

observance of Fire Prevention Week. In 1925,

President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed Fire

Prevention Week a national observance, making

it the longest-running public health observance

in our country. During Fire Prevention Week,

children, adults and teachers learn how to stay

safe in case of a fire. Firefighters provide lifesaving

public education in an effort to drastically decrease

casualties caused by fires.

Fire Prevention Week is observed each year during

the week of Oct. 9th in commemoration of the

Great Chicago Fire, which began on Oct. 8th, 1871,

and caused devastating damage. This horrific

conflagration killed more than 250 people, left

100,000 homeless, destroyed more than 17,400

structures, and burned more than 2,000 acres of


Reclaim Missing Exemptions on

Your Property Tax Bill

If you’re a homeowner, by now you should have

received your 2020 Second Installment Tax Bill

in the mail. The Cook County Assessor’s Office

encourages you to look at the bottom left corner

to ensure that the correct exemption(s) have been

applied.

If your home was eligible for a homestead

exemption in a prior tax year (2017, 2018, 2019

or 2020) but the exemption was not applied to

the property tax bill, and you already paid the full

tax amount billed for that year, the Assessor’s

Office can help you obtain a refund through the

Certificate of Error process. For Tax Year 2020, the

Certificate of Error filing will result in a corrected

bill or a refund, depending on the time of the filing.

Your property must have been eligible in that

particular tax year, and you must provide a

We Watch, We Call!

Mayor Presta and the Board of Trustees have heard the requests of many to report

crimes in our Village. Working with our Police Department, a compiled snapshot of

a month’s reporting will be shown here in the Adviser. Our intent is to inform the

public in order to protect and be vigilant in calling upon our Police. The Mayor urges

all to stay tuned in to your neighbors’ well-being and property. Call our police, report

suspicious activity, be aware. (911 or Dispatch non-Emergency 708-385-5131).

Each month we continue to remind residents about all the

scams that are occurring. Please remember that if anyone

contacts you for any reason, overdue taxes, warrant for your

arrest, allegations of illegal activity on your accounts, and

offers to allow you to settle the matter by purchasing gift

cards, IT IS A SCAM!

Do not give anyone on the phone your personal or banking

information. Do not allow anyone over the phone or via email

or link to access your computer.

If you have any doubts at all, please contact the police

department for advice. Senior Service Office Tom Dawson

or any other police officer will be able to assist you in

determining if it is a scam. Our officers are here 24 hours a

day and would rather respond to assist you in preventing a

scam then to have to take a report in which you have been

scammed out of thousands of dollars.

St. Christopher School Begins

Its 98th Consecutive Year of

Operations

On Monday, Aug. 23rd, St. Christopher School started the 2021-22 school

year, beginning its 98th consecutive year of operations. Since beginning in

September 1924, the school has graduated more than 5,000 students.

The growth that the school has experienced over the past several years has

continued into the 2021-22 school year. School enrollment currently stands

at approximately 245 students. This is the highest level of enrollment the

school has experienced in the past 15 years. Due to high enrollment, the

school has opened a second classroom for two grades, and has a waiting list

for an additional grade.

Last year, after safely returning to in-person learning, the school exceeded

learning goals as set out by the standardized i-Ready assessment exam. For

the 2020-21 school year, students achieved 131 percent of the expected

annual learning growth in math and 117 percent of the expected growth in

reading, indicating that teachers and students exceeded the national growth

averages and continued to excel in the classroom despite the challenges

introduced by the pandemic.

Dr. Michelle Walthers, school principal, stated “Each day, when I walk into

our classrooms, I see motivated and enthusiastic students accomplishing

their academic goals. When I walk down our halls, I see a warm, welcoming

Christian environment where students feel comfortable in their learning

environment’. I am so proud of our teachers, staff and students. I am honored

to be a part of this rich history and am looking forward to great things in our

future as we head toward our second century of operation.”

“The target was 10 beds and we pulled off 20!” Leo Club faculty sponsor

Camille Tunstall said. “The club enjoyed staining the wood the most.”

Sleep in Heavenly Peace organizes events like this to build, assemble and

EXHIBITION”

Through Oct. 25th, 9:00am-4:00pm

Moraine Valley Community College, Robert F. DeCaprio Art

Gallery | 9000 W. College Pkwy., Palos Hills

Vida Sačić is a Chicago-based artist, designer and educator, whose

work in print media explores the relationship between printing

and language, comprising large-scale printed installations, and

assemblages of prints on paper, textiles and fiber using moveable

type. Her clay sculptures function as translations of the printed

word and often are paired with historic printing tools. These

production tools allow for a focus on the process of production,

and imply a greater social narrative that speaks to the history of

labor through print media. A reception and artist talk will take

place on Monday, Oct. 25, with the time to be determined. For

more information, visit morainevalley.edu/fpac or call (708) 974-

5500. The exhibition is free and open to the public.

Paul Kostalik

Preserving Our

Heritage: Paul

Kostalik

By Ken McClory

As part of the Tinley Park American Legion Post

615 “Preserving Our Heritage” initiative, we look

this month at the stories and revelations of the

valor and sacrifice of Paul Kostalik.

Paul was born and raised on the South Side of Chicago on 19th and Wolcott. He

was 12 years old when his father died in 1931. He graduated from Crane Technical

High School, an all-boys school recognized for its excellent technical education. Like

many of his generation, he survived the Great Depression and as was the norm,

immediately found a full-time job.

He worked various jobs, including three years at the Pilsen Food Shop, before

receiving his draft notice in October 1943. Paul reported to Camp Grant, an 18,000-

acre Civilian Conservation Corps facility just outside Rockford, Ill. Besides being

an Army boot camp, Camp Grant also served as a prisoner-of-war detention center,

holding more than 25,000 German troops captured during the war. Kostalik’s highly

developed technical skills were obvious to the Army as he completed extensive

training, and he was assigned as a field lineman in the headquarters Battery of the

751st Field Artillery Battalion.

In Camp Bowie, Texas, the 751st operated a weapons system to deliver surface-tosurface

long-range indirect fire. Its mission, according to Kostalik, was to destroy,

neutralize or suppress the enemy with cannon fire, and his job was to install and

maintain communication wire and cables. However, where he was headed, his job

would have to be accomplished during perilous battlefield combat. The 751st FA BN

knew where they were going after their ocean voyage to Scotland for joint training

exercises, along with the Navy and Army Air Corps, rehearsing timing routes of

advance and contact points in preparation for D-Day, Kostalik crossed the English

Channel on Aug. 30, 1944, 84 days after D-Day, with the human debris, battle

carnage and overwhelming mass of battle-scorched material welcoming him as he

landed on Utah Beach. One day later, the 751st was in combat with the German

Army, and that combat would go on continuously for more than 8 months, until the

Germans’ surrender on May 7th and 8th, 1945.

October Events for

Families and Youth

Their first battle was in Dinard, France, where they eliminated a well-entrenched

German garrison on the Ile de Cézembre. This was the start of seemingly endless

combat for Kostalik across northern France, Belgium, Holland, Central Europe, and

finally Germany. Kostalik recalled while on the battlefield that com-lines went down

between units with orders for him to troubleshoot the problem and make necessary

repairs.

Linemen regularly requested volunteers to accompany them on these missions, but

Kostalik generally completed the job unescorted, leaving him vulnerable to enemy

attack. By Christmas 1944, the 751st engaged in the Battle of the Bulge in Roetgen,

Germany. On Christmas Eve, all hell broke loose, and the battalion expended more

than 25,000 rounds, but soon Patton’s army helped to drive the Germans back,

liberating Bastogne and enabling the Army to go on the offensive.

There is a U.S. military cemetery in Luxembourg where many from this battle are

buried, all with headstones showing a few days before or after Christmas 1944. Most

are young, men approximately 23 years old, and some were Kostalik’s buddies who

didn’t make it. The 751st fought on, and by late April 1945, nearing VE (Victory

over Europe) Day, when Germany surrendered, celebrated victory, but at a cost very

difficult to bear. Countless battalion heroes were killed in action and wounded by

the enemy. PFC Paul Kostalik wore the trauma and scars of WWII, and was a battlehardened

warrior, and was honorably discharged in January 1946. He was awarded

numerous battle decorations, with each star on a ribbon standing for a major battle

or campaign. He was awarded four battle stars for campaign action in northern

France, the Ardennes (Battle of the Bulge), the Rhineland and Central Europe; three

Overseas Battle Bars, with four Bronze Battle Stars; the Eastern African and the

Middle Eastern Theater Ribbon; the Good Conduct Medal; and the World War II

Victory Medal.

His military contribution to our nation’s freedom is both impressive and inspiring.

Prior to his passing, he was a member of the American Legion Central Park Post

1028 for more than 65 years, as well as a member of the post’s Honor Guard Ritual

Team. He also was an active member of the St. Pancratius Holy Name Society, and

the Polish National Alliance.

Thank you, Paul, for your honorable character, unwavering patriotism and

extraordinary contribution to the ongoing “Preserving Our Heritage” initiative.

Ken McClory is a Tinley Park American Legion Post 615 member who authored the feature

and is currently taking the lead in his Post’s “Preserving Our Heritage” initiative.

An Incredible Year for Crestwood Fastpitch

On Friday Aug. 6th, the 14U Crestwood Fastpitch Angels completed an

amazing season, winning the SWI Championship. This team made us all so

proud all year. Their overall record was 17-1. There were some close games

along the way, but no matter what they stayed positive, supported each other

and never gave up, coming back from a 9-3 deficit to win, coming back from

losing the last game of season after a 15-0 start to beat that very good Palos

team in the championship.

In the championship game there were five lead changes, and the game was

close all throughout. There were chances to get down, hang their heads, but the

vibe stayed good. They knew they could win, and they did!

We’ve had some very good teams over the years. The special thing about this

team was the vibe, the camaraderie, and spirit. We had girls in their seventh

season and new girls in their seventh month. Everyone contributed and

got better, and played to the best of their abilities. The team was managed

by Bryan Leonard, along with assistant coaches Kerry Zarobsky and Dan

McDermott.

On Wednesday Aug. 4th, the Crestwood Fastpitch 16U Inferno played in the

16U SWI Championship game. It taught all the girls and their parents the very

definition of perseverance.

Up 3-1 going into the top of the 5th, the Midway Flames scored seven runs,

making it 8-3. When the girls came off the field, they circled around and had a

quick discussion. The girls looked at Coach Jon O’Brien and collectively said —

figuratively — “Hold my beer.” They proceeded to score five runs in the bottom

of the 5th, tying the game 8-8. Top of the 6th, they went one, two, three. They

continued on to the bottom of the 6th, during which they scored two more

runs.

Entering the top of the 7th, the Inferno was up 10-8. Midway scored one with

one out. Crestwood recorded the second out. And then with two outs and a

runner on first, Jessica Masias recorded the third out with a K. It was a special

night — not because anyone won a trophy, but because the hard work that

everyone put in was validated with winning the very last game of the year. The

Inferno’s overall record was 15-2-1. The team was managed by Jon O’Brien,

along with assistant coaches Paul Brouch and Wally Leskiak.

‘Crestwood Adviser’ Great Way to Reach Local Customers

The Village of Crestwood wants local business owners

to know that the Crestwood Adviser, in addition

to being a great way to stay in touch with what’s

happening in your community, is also one of the

most cost-effective ways to reach your local customer

base. By advertising in the Crestwood Adviser,

your ad reaches the entire Crestwood population,

and at a fraction of the cost of what a direct mail

piece would cost in postage alone. Better still, the

Crestwood Adviser is read and left for others to read,

which is more than we can say for most direct mail

advertisements, the overwhelming majority of which

end up going straight in the trash or recycling bin.

To inquire about advertising rates in the Crestwood

Adviser, please call (708) 293-1430 or email

info@crestwoodadviser.com.

weeks will include practices, and the last four weeks will be games. This

is a wonderful co-rec opportunity for boys and girls to keep their skills

fresh before the winter months. Volunteer coaches are needed. If you

are interested in coaching or registering, call (708) 371-4810 for more

This past month we hosted our Island in the Wood 4.6 Wiffle Ball

Tournament. We had more than 20 teams registered for our all-day

event, and the proceeds from this event were donated to Crestwood

youth sports. It was a great success, and we are really excited to

bring this event back to Crestwood next year! Thank you to all our

participants and sponsors for making this a great event!

Every Wednesday night from 7:00-10:00pm and Sunday morning from

8:00-10:00am we have Pickleball drop-ins available for the community.

Come out for some friendly competition, no membership required!

On Thursday nights, we are hosting Zumba classes at the Biela Center.
