Orient Cafe to roll<br />

out new menu for<br />

10-year anniversary<br />

Enjoy dining this Summer with us<br />

with ahealthy fresh stir-fry !!!<br />

Since 2009<br />

For almost a decade,<br />

Orient Cafe has been serving<br />

up classic Chinese<br />

dishes at 14108 S. Bell<br />

Road in Homer Glen.<br />

Approaching her restaurant’s<br />

10-year anniversary<br />

this November, owner Sue<br />

Chang was ready to shake<br />

things up with a new menu.<br />

“We have a lot of traditional<br />

dishes, and they<br />

are great, people love<br />

them,” Chang said, “but<br />

I would still like to target<br />

the younger generation to<br />

what they like.”<br />

Targeting that crowd<br />

means slightly downsizing<br />

the menu — but keeping<br />

the classics while adding<br />

some new dishes.<br />

Orient Cafe’s classic<br />

dishes consist of old family<br />

recipes, which have<br />

been passed down three<br />

generations in the business.<br />

“It’s been nice to continue<br />

the traditions,” said<br />

Chang, who grew up in the<br />

industry and lives in the<br />

southwest suburbs.<br />

Family recipes include<br />

the cafe’s homemade,<br />

crispy egg rolls, which<br />

are the restaurant’s most<br />

popular and well-known<br />

item, thanks to their original<br />

flavor.<br />

“I’ve had people come<br />

in from Chicago and Indiana<br />

just for the egg rolls,”<br />

Chang said. “Even people<br />

who have moved away<br />

come back to the restaurant<br />

just for it.”<br />

The egg fu young is also<br />

not to be missed at the restaurant.<br />

It is an omelette<br />

dish with meat and gravy<br />

and dates back to the early<br />

1950s in Chang’s family.<br />

Another menu mainstay<br />

is the create-your-own<br />

stir fry option, which allows<br />

customers to choose<br />

egg or rice noodles and<br />

their meat, sauces, and<br />

vegetables before it’s all<br />

tossed and harmonizes in<br />

the wok.<br />

“A lot of restaurants<br />

don’t have what we have,”<br />

Chang said of the personalized<br />

stir fry creation.<br />

“We sell that the most because<br />

people like to pick<br />

their own meat and vegetables.”<br />

These successful dishes,<br />

plus an array of others,<br />

will be on the upcoming<br />

menu, which will be released<br />

as soon as possible<br />

this year, so make sure you<br />

are checking for the announcement.<br />

New dishes to grace<br />

the upcoming list will be<br />

“quick and easy,” Chang<br />

said.<br />

With the menu still under<br />

development, Chang<br />

mentioned a couple of<br />

items that will be included,<br />

such as chicken and monologian<br />

beef on rice or<br />

popular boba tea, a bubble<br />

tea with milk and sugar.<br />

The latter is already available<br />

at Orient Cafe in eight<br />

different delicious flavors.<br />

With the menu update<br />

comes a physical refresh<br />

at the restaurant space<br />

just north of 143rd Street<br />

on Bell Road. Customers<br />

can expect in the coming<br />

months new “happy” wall<br />

colors and interior decor<br />

for a breath of fresh air.<br />

While things are changing<br />

at Orient Cafe soon,<br />

Chang said customers can<br />

still expect the same great<br />

service and flavorful dishes<br />

the restaurant has been<br />

known for throughout the<br />

past 10 years.<br />

“We keep up the same<br />

flavor in all the dishes,”<br />

Chang said, adding that<br />

her and her husband, Alex,<br />

make all the sauces homemade<br />

for consistency.<br />

“My favorite part about<br />

running this business is<br />

meeting all of the people<br />

who come here. They are<br />

very nice. Thank you for<br />

following us for three generations.”<br />

delivery and catering.<br />

22ndCenturyMedia.com<br />

First impressions matter, even for homes<br />

Has your home lost its<br />

curb appeal?<br />

A neighbor across the<br />

street has been trying to sell<br />

her home for nearly three<br />

years now. Inside it is beautiful;<br />

granite countertops,<br />

hardwood floors, multiple<br />

fireplaces, updated bathrooms<br />

with the latest fixtures<br />

and the list goes on.<br />

People who do the virtual<br />

tour, or eventually see<br />

the home’s interior, are<br />

duly impressed, and yet no<br />

reasonable offers. Why?<br />

Even though she’s in the<br />

real estate business, she<br />

broke a cardinal rule: Just<br />

like people, your home<br />

makes a first impression,<br />

and it’s the exterior that<br />

does it. It happens when<br />

others pull up a picture online,<br />

or get a real time look<br />

from one’s driveway.<br />

In her case, maybe the<br />

peeling paint on the siding,<br />

or missing and curling<br />

shingles have something<br />

to do with it. Or perhaps<br />

it’s the porch that looks<br />

more like a deck. Not to<br />

overlook the chimney that<br />

needs rebuilding, the 90-<br />

foot asphalt driveway with<br />

a half dozen potholes, or<br />

the missing overhead garage<br />

door.<br />

Let’s face it, improving<br />

or maintaining the exterior<br />

of your home is not a priority<br />

for many of us. It’s<br />

not “sexy”’ or very bragworthy<br />

to mention the<br />

‘’beautiful” new roof you<br />

just got, especially when<br />

your friends keep going<br />

on and on about their new<br />

bathrooms or kitchens.<br />

The choices of different<br />

exterior materials for the<br />

middle-class homeowner<br />

are much more limited<br />

when compared to selections<br />

for inside projects.<br />

For many people, there’s<br />

just not much fun in picking<br />

out siding, and certainly<br />

little exercising or<br />

flexing of one’s creative<br />

muscles.<br />

And then there may be<br />

a few other trials. I’m sure<br />

you’ve heard horror stories<br />

of the window salesman<br />

who wouldn’t leave.<br />

Or perhaps you were the<br />

victim of one whose aftershave<br />

or cologne lingered<br />

in your kitchen for days.<br />

Or you may have had the<br />

experience of hearing these<br />

words from the foreman,<br />

“It’s no problem, I will fix.”<br />

Taking care of the outside<br />

of one’s home is more<br />

a need or a necessity than<br />

a want or desire. It’s very<br />

utilitarian to make sure<br />

your gutters drain properly,<br />

the roof doesn’t leak or<br />

your windows aren’t wasting<br />

your heating dollars.<br />

And yet, there is a certain<br />

majesty in the simplicity<br />

of an exterior project<br />

well done. You can feel it<br />

when you pull into your<br />

driveway that first week or<br />

two after its completion.<br />

Whether it’s your pride as<br />

a conscientious homeowner,<br />

or just the relief of having<br />

handled a long-standing<br />

problem, it’s a good<br />

feeling. And, if you’re new<br />

to choosing a contractor<br />

or completing a project<br />

of this sort, don’t worry:<br />

You’re in good hands.<br />

At Lindholm Roofing,<br />

it is our desire to give you<br />

this feeling and to make<br />

your exterior remodeling<br />

or replacement project<br />

go right. The project coordinators<br />

who come out<br />

to visit and assist you are<br />

courteous and knowledgeable<br />

professionals with an<br />

average of nearly 20 years<br />

experience in exterior<br />

home improvement.<br />

Our company has been<br />

in business and owned<br />

by the same family for<br />

70 years. Because of this<br />

longevity, our record of<br />

craftsmanship and attention<br />

to detail, as well as<br />

our steadfast agreement to<br />

honor our warranties, we<br />

have earned the respect of<br />

many village building departments,<br />

leading insurance<br />

companies and, most<br />

importantly, tens of thousands<br />

of homeowners.<br />

Let us be the one to help<br />

with any of these projects<br />

and we’ll be sure your<br />

home makes a good first<br />

impression.<br />

Great Time to Select the Perfect Apartment!!<br />

Offerings from Hanover<br />

Place are constantly growing<br />

Residents of Hanover<br />

Place never have to go far<br />

for fun.<br />

Whether it’s taking a<br />

stroll with the walking<br />

club, celebrating on bingo<br />

night, or engaging in stimulating<br />

conversation in a<br />

book club or a bible study,<br />

participants have plenty of<br />

options thanks to the robust<br />

daily activity schedule<br />

from Hanover, a premier<br />

55 plus Active Adult<br />

apartment community in<br />

Tinley Park.<br />

Hanover Place, which<br />

opened in 2005, offers<br />

150 mixed one- and twobedroom<br />

apartments for<br />

those age 55 and up. Each<br />

carpeted apartment is complete<br />

with a full kitchen,<br />

self-climate controls,<br />

plenty of closet space and<br />

more.<br />

While peace and quiet in<br />

your own quaint space is<br />

honored by Hanover staff,<br />

it is what happens outside<br />

of the units that sets Hanover<br />

Place apart.”<br />

“We help seniors live<br />

life with a purpose,” said<br />

Bethany Mazzola, community<br />

manager at Hanover<br />

Place. “We try to<br />

get people incorporated<br />

in events, socializing and<br />

staying active. … A lot of<br />

residents like to interact<br />

with each other.”<br />

And there are plenty of<br />

opportunities to do that.<br />

Aside from the activities<br />

previously mentioned, Hanover<br />

Place residents can<br />

also enjoy trivia nights,<br />

a daily exercise club and<br />

more. Residents are also<br />

given the opportunity to<br />

lead their own sessions.<br />

Currently, there are drawing<br />

classes, pinochle<br />

groups and a crocheting<br />

club led by community<br />

members.<br />

A variety of nonorganized<br />

activity is also available,<br />

as Hanover includes<br />

a fitness center, a movie<br />

theater, a beauty shop,<br />

reading areas, a billiards<br />

lounge and more.<br />

Seasonal events also<br />

grace Hanover’s schedule,<br />

like the Salute A Veteran<br />

Barbecue scheduled for<br />

May 28 to celebrate Memorial<br />

Day.<br />

All that action will stir<br />

up quite an appetite, so it’s<br />

a good thing Hanover has<br />

its own bistro on-site. The<br />

Bistro serves breakfast<br />

seven days a week, and<br />

to mix things up, a catering<br />

service provides dinner<br />

three evenings a week.<br />

At 16851 Harlem Ave.,<br />

Hanover Place is conveniently<br />

located near the<br />

Metra station, and scheduled<br />

bus and shuttle services<br />

allow for simple<br />

access to Tinley Park and<br />

beyond.<br />

Advanced learning with a family feel: St. Mary Catholic<br />

School in Mokena offers early learning programs<br />

Benefits of a learning community focused<br />

on academics, faith and family<br />

St. Mary School is a vibrant<br />

and welcoming Catholic school,<br />

serving students in preschool<br />

through grade eight. Since 1949,<br />

teachers have been providing<br />

an extraordinary, personalized<br />

learning environment allowing<br />

each student to achieve his or<br />

her full potential.<br />

“We chose St. Mary’s for<br />

its community, its extraordinary<br />

faculty and staff, and its<br />

exceptional learning environment,”<br />

said Frank Murray, St.<br />

Mary School Board Member<br />

and new school parent. “It is the<br />

faith-based, family community<br />

that we believe is critical for<br />

our children’s academic, social<br />

and spiritual development. St.<br />

Mary’s family is everything we<br />

wanted in a school community.”<br />

See the exceptional learning<br />

environment<br />

St. Mary’s offers 3-year-old<br />

preschool through eighth grade.<br />

Visitors are always impressed<br />

with the school’s facilities,<br />

which include a music room, library,<br />

computer lab, science lab,<br />

spacious gymnasium and the<br />

STEAM — science, technology,<br />

engineering, art and mathematics<br />

— classroom.<br />

The STEAM classroom allows<br />

teachers to bring a unique<br />

approach of teaching to enhance<br />

student learning and understanding<br />

of how all things relate<br />

to each other, in school and in<br />

life. Unlike other STEM programs,<br />

St. Mary’s program also<br />

emphasizes the integration of<br />

the arts and offers more creativity<br />

to students in the learning<br />

process. The STEAM program<br />

and open classroom setting allows<br />

teachers to facilitate rather<br />

than lecture, resulting in students<br />

experiencing their education<br />

as a process instead of a<br />

final product.<br />

St. Mary’s also offers a oneto-one<br />

technology program that<br />

provides each student in grades<br />

six through eight with an individual<br />

iPad, a class set of iPads<br />

for grades three through five, and<br />

kindergarten through grade two<br />

have designated classroom iPads<br />

and SmartBoards for educational<br />

use. Primary students also benefit<br />

from a certified reading specialist<br />

and teacher aides.<br />

Learn about numerous<br />

extracurricular opportunities<br />

and more<br />

Students can enjoy many after-school<br />

programs, including<br />

band, chess, bell choir, youth<br />

choir, drama club, STEM, yearbook,<br />

scout groups, Student<br />

Council, social events and an<br />

extensive athletic program.<br />

Before and after school care is<br />

available for a fee from 6:45-<br />

7:50 a.m. and 2:40-6 p.m. Bus<br />

service is an option for those<br />

families who reside in the Mokena<br />

Public School District 159<br />

for a fee.<br />

Learn about tuition assistance<br />

Recent legislation in Illinois<br />

has opened up many opportunities<br />

for families to receive<br />

scholarships up to 100 percent<br />

of tuition for Catholic education<br />

in Illinois. Through Empower<br />

Illinois, families can apply for<br />

tuition assistance in the form of<br />

grants from the Illinois government<br />

to help pay for their child’s<br />

Catholic education. Additionally,<br />

St. Mary’s offers a special<br />

Tuition Transfer Grant for up to<br />

$1,500 per family — $1,000 in<br />

year one, $500 in year two — for<br />

students entering grades firstseventh<br />

who transfer from any<br />

private, public, charter or home<br />

school. Students transferring<br />

from another Catholic school in<br />

the Diocese of Joliet or neighboring<br />

Jack Gibbons Gardens all about traditions, not trends<br />

Jack Gibbons Gardens<br />

does not follow trends.<br />

Diners are not going<br />

to witness Happy Hours<br />

or Margarita Mondays at<br />

Jack Gibbons.<br />

That is because Jack<br />

Gibbons focuses on what<br />

really matters: great food<br />

and even better company.<br />

The restaurant reportedly<br />

has customers who say<br />

they have not been there<br />

for 25-30 years but come<br />

back and it is just the way<br />

they remember it.<br />

Jack Gibbons Gardens<br />

— or Gibbons, as the<br />

regulars call it — opened<br />

in 1922 as a speakeasy.<br />

Although times have<br />

changed drastically since<br />

then, the restaurant itself<br />

has not. From the<br />

red leather booths to<br />

the wood-paneled walls,<br />

Jack Gibbons is truly<br />

timeless.<br />

In a time where chain<br />

restaurants are on every<br />

corner, Gibbons has become<br />

even more special<br />

and unique. From the second<br />

a diner sits and is instantly<br />

delivered delicious<br />

warm bread, three-bean<br />

salad and coleslaw, before<br />

even a glance at the menu,<br />

it is easy to know one is<br />

about to have one of the<br />

best meals of his or her<br />

life. From surf and turf to<br />

fried chicken, Gibbons has<br />

something to satisfy any<br />

craving.<br />

Gibbons has been described<br />

as a “generational<br />

place” that sees everyone<br />

from grandfathers and fathers<br />

to their grandchildren<br />

who dine there.<br />

A secret to that success<br />

is that the restaurant’s staff<br />

does not experience the<br />

type of turnover seen in<br />

some chain restaurants. Its<br />

employees have worked<br />

there for years, striving<br />

for a “Cheers” vibe<br />

with which the bartender<br />

knows the customers,<br />

what they’re having, and<br />

the friends they bring with<br />

them.<br />

newest smoke BBQ house<br />

Just Wings BBQ &<br />

Wings is a true old-fashioned<br />

smokehouse. Traditional<br />

smoked items<br />

— such as beef brisket,<br />

pulled pork, chicken, and<br />

back ribs — are available<br />

daily. Smoked party<br />

wings, hot links, boneless<br />

wings and nachos are also<br />

some popular menu items.<br />

They do smoked BBQ<br />

right. By smoking their<br />

brisket and pork for a<br />

minimum of 14 hours, JW<br />

BBQ & Wings achieves<br />

a very tender and juicy<br />

product. While their ribs<br />

and chicken on the other<br />

hand are smoked as well,<br />

they are only cooked for<br />

about 4-6 hours. Perfecting<br />

these smoke times<br />

becomes crucial in preparing<br />

and creating a<br />

delicious and enjoyable<br />

product that is both moist<br />

and flavorful. In addition,<br />

by using pecan, apple and<br />

cherry wood, their meat<br />

achieves sweetness like<br />

no other, leaving the customer<br />

wanting more.<br />

“You will not taste a<br />

harsh, smoked flavor in<br />

any of our products like<br />

you usually would in most<br />

other smokehouses. Our<br />

way of smoking allows<br />

you to savor the wood flavor,<br />

spices and meat without<br />

leaving you with a potent<br />

smoked flavor,” said<br />

pitmaster and cofounder<br />

John Mihalos.<br />

Although menu items<br />

are typically served a la<br />

carte, there are many different<br />

side options for<br />

those interested. Fresh<br />

cut fries, corn on the cob,<br />

roasted veggies, baked<br />

beans, smoked cabbage,<br />

and baked mac and cheese<br />

are served daily. JW BBQ<br />

& Wings’ baked beans<br />

are cooked together with<br />

bacon and beef brisket,<br />

which creates a sweet<br />

and pleasant taste. The<br />

smoked cabbage is topped<br />

with light balsamic vinaigrette<br />

that customers<br />

seem to really enjoy.<br />

Looking to try a little<br />

bit of everything? No<br />

problem. For $19.99,<br />

JW BBQ & Wings offers<br />

a sampler plate for two<br />

that includes: beef brisket,<br />

pulled pork, ¼ dark<br />

chicken, ¼ slab ribs and<br />

two sides.<br />

Sandwiches are also<br />

available, as well as catering<br />

options for holidays<br />

and/ or events.<br />

Schaaf celebrates 60 years in Chicagoland<br />

Sixty years, seven locations,<br />

hundreds of different products,<br />

thousands of cherished customers<br />

and one owner, Schaaf Window<br />

has had a long and storied<br />

history in this area. The familyowned<br />

business celebrates its<br />

60th anniversary this June, a<br />

testament to its success and long<br />

history of having the best customer<br />

service in town.<br />

Schaaf Window was founded<br />

in 1959 as Schaaf Glass Company<br />

by George Schaaf Sr. and<br />

his father, Fred. They began the<br />

company by re-glazing windows<br />

out of three garages behind his<br />

father’s home in Englewood and<br />

ran the business out of his home.<br />

About a year into their business,<br />

they were big enough<br />

to move into a real office and<br />

warehouse, so they made a deal<br />

with a local car dealer to use his<br />

building while he used the parking<br />

lot. At this time, they added<br />

glass storefronts to their product<br />

offerings.<br />

Just two years later, they had<br />

already grown out of the building<br />

and George decided that this<br />

time he would build his own,<br />

against his father’s advice. He<br />

built a brand new building in<br />

Evergreen Park and even outgrew<br />

that one so fast that he<br />

was forced to convince the lady<br />

next door to sell him her house<br />

in order to construct another<br />

new building. In these years, the<br />

company began offering patio<br />

doors and framed mirrors.<br />

Even with the addition, the<br />

company grew too large, and<br />

George again had to build a new<br />

location, this time in Bridgeview.<br />

They moved into this building<br />

in 1972 and immediately began<br />

expanding their product lines. In<br />

1974 the business really took off<br />

when Schaaf began assembling<br />

their own windows. The success<br />

of the window business led to<br />

the separation of the glass and<br />

the window departments, and the<br />

official incorporation of Schaaf<br />

Window Company.<br />

In 1980, George turned an old<br />

stadium in Bridgeview into offices<br />

and a shop. He had helped<br />

build the stadium when it was<br />

going to be used for a local<br />

semi-pro baseball team, but he<br />

was never paid by the builder.<br />

He bought the land and decided<br />

to turn it in to a new location<br />

for Schaaf Glass; however,<br />

five years later Schaaf Window<br />

moved into this location and<br />

Schaaf Glass moved back to its<br />

old building. Again, the company<br />

grew so that additions had to<br />

be made and eventually an entire<br />

adjacent building was constructed<br />

to add capacity. While at this<br />

location, Schaaf Window added<br />

millwork and interior doors to its<br />

product lines.<br />

In 2003 Schaaf Window<br />

moved to its current location in<br />

Tinley Park. It has since become<br />

the largest independent window<br />

company in Illinois, and added<br />

shower doors and installation to<br />

its mix of products. It is also now<br />

co-owned by two of George’s<br />

children, Bob and Barb, along<br />

with George himself. Today,<br />

Schaaf continues its commitment<br />

to superior customer service<br />

and offering high quality<br />

products.<br />

As summer rolls around and<br />

you start your home improvement<br />

projects, keep Schaaf in<br />

mind and see what 60 years in<br />

the industry can do for you.<br />

New Lenox-based<br />

business works to make<br />

clothes dryers safer<br />

Hidden buildup in clothes<br />

dryer vent is a fire hazard<br />

DON’T LET YOUR DRYER<br />

START A<br />

FIRE!<br />

Most people know they need to clean<br />

out their dryer lint tray between each<br />

cycle, but what lurks behind the wall is<br />

just as important for safety and avoiding<br />

fire traps, as well as fully efficient dryer<br />

performance. Joe Enzenberger, owner<br />

of Dryer Vent Wizard, opened his New<br />

Lenox-based business in 2009.<br />

Lint is the villain; lint that has been allowed<br />

to build up and linger too long in<br />

the dryer exhaust vent.<br />

It is estimated by the U.S. Consumer<br />

Product Safety Commission and the U.S.<br />

Fire Administration that 15,500 fires associated<br />

with clothes dryers occur annually.<br />

These fires account for an average of<br />

20 deaths, 370 injuries and more than $88<br />

million in property damage.<br />

“Failure to clean the dryer vent” was<br />

the leading factor cited in U.S. Fire Administration<br />

reports.<br />

“It is something very few people know<br />

about or think about,” said Enzenberger,<br />

whose company specializes in dryer vent<br />

cleaning, repair, alteration and installation.<br />

“It is the leading cause of dryer<br />

fires.”<br />

Lint accumulation also can cause dryers<br />

to stop working or to work inefficiently.<br />

A dryer vent clogged with lint can add<br />

as much as $18-$24 per month to energy<br />

costs.<br />

“Improper venting causes problems,<br />

as well,” Enzenberger said. “The dryer<br />

exhaust duct and connections should be<br />

made of rigid metal or semi-rigid metal<br />

and secured with metal heat-resistant tape<br />

rather than duct tape. I often find plastic<br />

or foil accordion-type material, which can<br />

easily trap lint and is more susceptible to<br />

kinks and crushing.”<br />

Warning signs include<br />

• Clothes are taking more than one cycle<br />

to dry, especially jeans and towels.<br />

• No lint visible on lint screen.<br />

• Dryer repeatedly stops during a cycle.<br />

• Clothes have moldy smell after dry cycle.<br />

• Clothes are very hot after a dry cycle.<br />

• The top of your dryer hot to the touch<br />

while running.<br />

• There’s excess lint left on your clothing.<br />

“This has been a consumer education<br />

process, but it’s hard to get the word out,”<br />

Enzenberger said. “Most don’t call until<br />

they have a serious problem with their<br />

dryer.”<br />

He suggests people treat clothes dryers<br />

as a household item in need of regular<br />

maintenance. Consumers can protect<br />

dryer performance and promote safety<br />

by cleaning the lint screen between each<br />

use, ensuring the connection between the<br />

dryer and wall is made of compliant material<br />

and remains un-kinked, and having<br />

the dryer exhaust duct cleaned regularly.<br />

Dryer manufacturers recommend inspection<br />

and cleaning at least annually.<br />

Summer is a great time to have an inspection<br />

and cleaning of clothes dryers<br />

and dryer vent systems.<br />

Another important tip: Never let your<br />

clothes dryer run when you are out of the<br />

house or asleep.<br />

WARNING!<br />

If your dryer takes longer than one cycle<br />

Almost everyone looks<br />

forward to summer, and<br />

it’s no surprise why: Perpetually<br />

sunny skies, gentle<br />

breezes and blooming<br />

florae are enough to put<br />

even the most devout curmudgeon<br />

in a good mood.<br />

But here in Tinley Park,<br />

the allure of summertime<br />

extends well beyond mere<br />

seasonal pleasantries to<br />

include the diverse offering<br />

of sensational events<br />

occurring downtown every<br />

week. Residents and<br />

visitors alike make events<br />

— such as, the Music in<br />

the Plaza concerts, the<br />

tropical-themed Tinley<br />

weekly Cruise Nights and<br />

the Benches on the Avenue<br />

public art program — part<br />

of their annual summer<br />

Life Purpose Chiropractic and Dr. Rick are making Lockport home<br />

Life Purpose Chiropractic<br />

was started for the sole purpose<br />

of helping people achieve better<br />

health through the Gonstead<br />

system of chiropractic care, offering<br />

affordable and timely care<br />

for prevention and correction of<br />

heath issues.<br />

I am Dr. Rick Brescia. I have<br />

been in practice for 11 years,<br />

and Lockport is now home for<br />

me and my two children. I had<br />

a practice in Frankfort for seven<br />

years, and sold it in 2015 to be a<br />

professor at Sherman College of<br />

Chiropractic in South Carolina. I<br />

was there for three years teaching<br />

full time and practicing. I<br />

moved back to Lockport in June<br />

of 2018 to be closer to family,<br />

and I now opened Life Purpose<br />

Chiropractic here in Lockport.<br />

The way I practice is unique<br />

for this area. One way it is<br />

unique is that I practice the Gonstead<br />

System of Chiropractic in<br />

its entirety. This system is very<br />

specific with the way the adjustments<br />

are performed, the way the<br />

x-rays are taken and analyzed,<br />

and skin temperature measurements<br />

are taken on every visit.<br />

The adjustments are done using<br />

custom tables for the Gonstead<br />

system, as well, and I am certified<br />

to teach this system all over<br />

the world.<br />

Another reason the office is<br />

unique is that I only perform adjustments<br />

in the office. People<br />

are seen in a timely fashion,<br />

not having to be in the office<br />

for hours at a time doing other<br />

things. This allows you more<br />

time with your family, and I<br />

value your time with your family<br />

and friends. I have convenient<br />

morning and afternoon hours<br />

to accommodate your travel for<br />

work or school.<br />

One more way the office is<br />

unique, is that the care is affordable<br />

for everyone, even whole<br />

families. Children should be<br />

checked and adjusted if needed,<br />

just like adults. My children have<br />

been adjusted since birth just for<br />

prevention of health issues. As a<br />

result, they are rarely sick with<br />

many of the things I see other<br />

children with, like ear infections,<br />

colic, asthma, feeding issues,<br />

chronic bronchitis, or spectrum<br />

issues. Whether you have health<br />

insurance or not doesn’t play a<br />

factor in the cost of your care in<br />

this office. There are many different<br />

options for you to get the<br />

care you need for yourself and<br />

your family without having to<br />

break the bank<br />

I pride myself on being direct<br />

and to the point. My goal is simply<br />

to help as many people as I<br />

can live the best life possible<br />

naturally. I am here to help you<br />

and your family be as healthy as<br />

possible and to live the best life<br />

possible.<br />

At Life Purpose Chiropractic,<br />

“Your health and life are<br />

our purpose.” The office is<br />

located at 1110 E. 9th St. in<br />

Lockport. You can contact me<br />

at (773) 842-9092, or by email<br />

at dr.rickbrescia@gmail.com. I<br />

look forward to meeting you and<br />

helping you.<br />

Children learn positive, fun skills at Kids Can Do<br />

Kids Can Do, Inc is a children’s<br />

therapy center in Mokena.<br />

Within the past year, it has celebrated<br />

its 30th anniversary, as<br />

well as a transition to new ownership.<br />

The new owners of Kids<br />

Can Do are Erica Kluck, Marijo<br />

Kleinfelder, Angie Andrus and<br />

Marcy Munger, all of whom<br />

have been working as full-time<br />

therapists at Kids Can Do for a<br />

combined total of more than 70<br />

years.<br />

Kids Can Do offers physical<br />

therapy, occupational therapy<br />

and speech therapy for infants,<br />

children and young adults. It<br />

provides individual therapy, as<br />

well as various groups, camps<br />

and special classes throughout<br />

the year.<br />

Pediatric physical therapy<br />

helps children improve motor development<br />

and function, strength<br />

and endurance, posture, balance,<br />

independence, and participation,<br />

as well as help families ease challenges<br />

with daily care giving.<br />

Pediatric occupational therapists<br />

help children gain the skills they<br />

need for independence in play,<br />

learning, motor skill development,<br />

self-care, and socialization<br />

in their home, school, and community<br />

environments. Speech<br />

therapy helps children improve<br />

verbal and nonverbal communication<br />

skills. Speech therapy<br />

may focus on speech production,<br />

understanding and expressing<br />

language, social skills, executive<br />

function deficits, and feeding or<br />

swallowing.<br />

Kids Can Do is also known for<br />

providing excellent feeding therapy.<br />

Feeding therapy can be done<br />

in individual sessions, as well as<br />

in a group setting. Exploring new<br />

foods with peers is a great way to<br />

expand the variety of foods in the<br />

diet of a picky eater.<br />

Kids Can Do’s mission is to<br />

enrich the lives of children and<br />

their families through an interdisciplinary<br />

approach that blends<br />

the art and science of therapy.<br />

Families who come to Kids Can<br />

Do will find a beautiful facility<br />

with a staff of 20 highly-trained<br />

therapists who are dedicated to<br />

doing the most they can to help<br />

children overcome both big and<br />

small obstacles. Kids Can Do<br />

strives to be a place where all<br />

children can have fun and feel<br />

supported. The goal is for children<br />

to make progress and succeed<br />

in life while feeling like<br />

they come to Kids Can Do to<br />

play and have fun with friends.<br />

One parent, Tracy Vidovic,<br />

put it this way: “The staff at<br />

Kids Can Do treat your child like<br />

their own. They go above and<br />

beyond to make sure every success<br />

is celebrated, every concern<br />

is addressed and every family is<br />

involved in their child’s journey.<br />

They have become family to us<br />

and I can’t imagine taking my<br />

child anywhere else. I asked Mason<br />

if he would tell other kids to<br />

go to Kids Can Do and he said,<br />

‘Yes.’ When I asked him why, he<br />

said, ‘Because they’re my best<br />

friends.’”<br />

Are you looking for a specialized<br />

group to help your child develop<br />

skills this summer? Kids<br />

Can Do offers a variety of summer<br />

camps for a wide range of<br />

ages and interests. Children do<br />

not need to be a current client of<br />

Kids Can Do, and siblings and<br />

friends can also enroll in camps.<br />

The 2019 summer programs start<br />

the week of June 10. One of the<br />

most popular programs is Ninja<br />

Warriors Camp. Children who<br />

attend have a lot of fun with<br />

friends building strength and<br />

coordination while tackling challenging<br />

obstacle courses.<br />

If you think your child may<br />

benefit from therapy, Kids Can<br />

Do offers free screenings to<br />

assess the need for a full therapy<br />

evaluation. Visit kidscan<br />

More than<br />

shrimp at Just<br />

Shrimp<br />

When Just Shrimp opened its doors in<br />

late 2014, few people in the Tinley Park<br />

area knew of or had ever tried a lobster<br />

roll or fried lobster. With that being said,<br />

one would say that Just Shrimp’s menu<br />

goes beyond “just shrimp.”<br />

“Our menu has expanded quite a bit<br />

since we first opened,” said Christina<br />

Mihalos. “Due to such positive feedback,<br />

items that were featured as specials<br />

— such as the gator, lobster, and<br />

tilapia — were later added to our menu<br />

permanently. As time went on, we saw<br />

that customers were looking for healthier<br />

alternatives, as well, so we added a<br />

few other options to fulfil their wants.”<br />

Menu items that satisfy customers<br />

looking for a non-fried option include a<br />

grilled shrimp skewer and fresh broiled<br />

salmon. Both items are served with<br />

mixed vegetables and a baked potato, as<br />

opposed to the traditional sides of fries<br />

and coleslaw.<br />

Just Shrimp’s menu includes jumbo<br />

wild caught shrimp, different fish dinners,<br />

such as fish n chips, lake perch,<br />

catfish, tilapia, and a variety of fish<br />

sandwiches and po’ boys. It has an array<br />

of different sides, as well as its daily<br />

lobster bisque soup.<br />

It has been just about four years since<br />

Mihalos convinced her family to turn<br />

their Chicken Wild restaurant around to<br />

what is now: Just Shrimp.<br />

“By experimenting a little first, we<br />

added different fried shrimp and fish<br />

items to our previous restaurant. Due to<br />

the high demand, I was able to see that<br />

this concept might just work since there<br />

was nothing like us nearby,” Mihalos<br />

said. “It was then, together with my dad,<br />

that we decided to switch the whole concept<br />

to Just Shrimp.”<br />

Mihalos is a fourth-generation restaurateur,<br />

and growing up and around<br />

the restaurant industry has helped her<br />

greatly along the way.<br />

“Although there are many challenges<br />

I face being a young female restaurateur,<br />

having my dad by my side along the<br />

way does help tremendously,” she said.<br />

lucky winners of our Summer<br />

Reading Program<br />

There’s also a serious<br />

side to summer reading.<br />

Research has shown that<br />

reading over the summer<br />

prevents summer reading<br />

loss.<br />

“Studies also indicate<br />

students who read recreationally<br />

outperformed<br />

those who don’t,” said Assistant<br />

Director Luke Surdel.<br />

“Students read more<br />

when they can choose materials<br />

based on their own<br />

interests. Our libraries are<br />

committed to supporting<br />

lifelong learning and educational<br />

enrichment for all<br />

families.”<br />

Registration continues<br />

throughout the Summer<br />

Read Program. To learn<br />

Dear friend,<br />

“I know you.” That’s what people usually say when<br />

they meet me in town. Then they say, “You’re Dr.<br />

Rick. I’ve seen your ad with that picture of you and<br />

those two cute little kids.” Well, perhaps I should tell<br />

you a little more about that photo, and why I use it<br />

in my ads. Let’s start with me, the guy in the middle.<br />

23 years ago, something happened to me that<br />

changed my life forever. Let me tell you my story.<br />

I am back in high school training for football in<br />

the weight room. I was doing squats and had some<br />

weight on there. I went to finish my set and rack the<br />

weight, and I missed the rack on one side. My spotter<br />

stepped back already, and the weight fell on me as I<br />

went to step out from under it. I felt something in<br />

my low back “pop” and instantly fell to the ground.<br />

Both my legs and feet were tingling, and by low back<br />

was killing me. I was terrified, both legs tingling, my<br />

low back locked up, and I was crawling on the floor<br />

of the weight room because I could not stand up.<br />

But, then…<br />

My mother suggested I go see this doctor she<br />

recently met. This new doctor does an exam, takes<br />

some x-rays, and then gently “adjusts” my spine. The<br />

adjustment feels great… the tingling in my legs stops,<br />

and I can move my low back again! I feel like it’s a<br />

miracle! Oh, did I mention that this doctor was a<br />

chiropractor? Chiropractic care worked so good for<br />

me, that I decided to go to chiropractic school myself!<br />

That’s how it all started!<br />

The biggest reason I use this picture is to show off<br />

my 2 amazing kids, Cole and Cadence. I have been<br />

gently adjusting both of their spines since they were<br />

born. Cole was born with breathing issues and<br />

didn’t want to latch or eat. His head was leaning<br />

off to one side after the birth process. Once he got<br />

adjusted after they were done running all their tests<br />

and x-rays of his chest, he started to latch and feed,<br />

and his breathing improved! They both love to get<br />

checked weekly, and will sometimes fight to see<br />

who goes first. Oh, and they hardly ever get sick!<br />

Regular wellness care helps keep their bodies “tuned<br />

up” and functioning well. While under chiropractic<br />

care, many kids heal themselves from health issues<br />

like colic, ear infections, bed wetting, asthma, colds,<br />

and allergies, naturally without the use of drugs or<br />

surgeries.<br />

It’s strange how life is, because now people come to<br />

see me with their back and leg problems. But they<br />

also they come to me with their headaches, migraines,<br />

chronic pain, neck pain, shoulder/arm pain, backaches,<br />

menstrual problems, fibromyalgia, low immune function,<br />

“Why Do I Use this Photo in My Ads?”<br />

And what you should know about it…<br />

numbness in their hands and feet, acid reflux, blood<br />

pressure issues, constipation, and digestive issues just to<br />

name a few.<br />

Here’s what some of my patients had to say:<br />

“I can breathe better and never thought I would be<br />

able to ski again after having my lung removed from<br />

cancer, Dr. Rick got me back to breathing better than<br />

I have in years!” - (Bonnie S.)<br />

“I have no more digestive issues and vomiting after<br />

eating!” - (Sarah L.)<br />

“My son doesn’t get sick on car rides anymore and<br />

can ride the bus without being embarrassed about<br />

throwing up!” - (Jill T.)<br />

You should know that I don’t heal anyone of anything.<br />

What I do is perform a specific spinal adjustment<br />

to remove nerve pressure, and the body responds<br />

by healing itself. We get tremendous results. It’s as<br />

simple as that!<br />

Chiropractic is probably the most misunderstood<br />

healthcare profession there is. Its about working with,<br />

and enhancing the body’s natural healing abilities.<br />

Chiropractors find and remove obstruction to the<br />

nervous system, which allows the body to respond<br />

better. As misunderstood as it is, the studies speak for<br />

themselves, like the Virginia study that should that<br />

over 95% of patients who saw a chiropractor were<br />

satisfied with their results. That is just incredible!<br />

Millions of Americans no longer have health<br />

insurance, and those who do have found that their<br />

benefits are shrinking, and their deductibles are<br />

rising. That’s where chiropractic comes in. Overall<br />

the patients seeing chiropractors had 60% less<br />

hospitalizations, 62% less outpatient surgeries, and<br />

85% less costs for prescription drugs.<br />

Special Offer- Look, I know you are smart! You<br />

want to get to the cause of your problem, not just<br />

cover it up with drugs. So, when you are one of the<br />

first 20 people to call and schedule a new patient<br />

exam (by June7) you will receive that entire exam for<br />

$50 (Normally a $265.00 value). That’s with full spine<br />

x-rays, exam… the whole ball of wax, and there are<br />

no hidden fees. But call right now because there are<br />

only 20 of these slots. We will be available to take<br />

calls starting today. Please don’t miss out, because<br />

on Friday June 7th at 6 p.m., this offer will expire!!<br />

Although we do see Medicare patients, by law, this<br />

offer excludes Medicare/Medicaid patients.<br />

Please, I hope that there’s no misunderstanding about<br />

quality of care just because I have a lower exam fee.<br />

You’ll get great care at a great fee. My qualification…I<br />

have been a licensed chiropractor for 11 years, I<br />

have taught chiropractic at a chiropractic college<br />

for 3 years, I have performed over two hundred<br />

thousand gentile chiropractic adjustments, and I have<br />

a diplomate in the Gonstead system of chiropractic.<br />

I have been entrusted to care for everyone from tiny<br />

newborn babies to senior citizens, and I have literally<br />

helped hundreds of people with dozens of different<br />

health issues.<br />

Our office is both friendly and warm and we try our<br />

best to make you feel at home. We have a wonderful<br />

service, at an exceptional fee. Our office is called<br />

LIFE PURPOSE CHIROPRACTIC and it is at<br />

Thank you.<br />
