Traverso’s humble from its beginnings<br />

In 1962, with full-time<br />

jobs and small children at<br />

home, John and George<br />

Traverso purchased Ken<br />

and Dick’s tavern in Roseland<br />

on Chicago’s southeast<br />

side.<br />

The opening of that<br />

restaurant, their first<br />

full-service venture, in<br />

1968 brought the addition<br />

of “Mama T,” the<br />

boy’s mother. Widowed in<br />

1949 with four children,<br />

Lena worked in various<br />

area Roseland kitchens,<br />

displaying the skills she<br />

learned as a child in her<br />

parents’ hotel in Cesuna,<br />

Italy.<br />

Following six years of<br />

success in Mount Greenwood,<br />

John and George<br />

ventured west, opening<br />

their first self-named restaurant,<br />

Traverso’s, on<br />

Harlem Avenue in Orland<br />

Park. The new restaurant<br />

was met with critical acclaim<br />

and long lines, and<br />

with Mama T running the<br />

kitchen and 21-year-old<br />

Paul Gabriel managing<br />

the large staff, Traverso’s<br />

flourished.<br />

Within a year, the brothers<br />

sold their other two<br />

establishments to concentrate<br />

their efforts in Orland<br />

Park. In fact, by popular<br />

demand, John and George<br />

expanded the restaurant by<br />

100 seats to 300 in 1975,<br />

just one year after their<br />

opening.<br />

Still a strong presence<br />

in Chicago’s south suburbs,<br />

Traverso’s in Orland<br />

Park celebrated 30<br />

years in 2004. And despite<br />

the passing of Mama T<br />

in 1999 — at age 86 —<br />

George, John and manager<br />

Paul continue to oversee a<br />

family tradition more than<br />

40 years in the making.<br />

Where they are today<br />

Dine inside in Traverso’s<br />

traditional Italian dining<br />

room or bar during the<br />

winter months and head<br />

out back to the outdoor<br />

patio and bar during the<br />

warmer months.<br />

Traverso’s patio is one<br />

of the few places customers<br />

are permitted to smoke.<br />

They can have a cocktail<br />

or two and partake in some<br />

entertaining karaoke at 8<br />

p.m. Wednesdays and 8:30<br />

p.m. Saturdays.<br />

Tinley’s Pop’s Italian Beef & Sausage ready for the holidays<br />

At Pop’s Italian Beef & Sausage<br />

in Tinley Park, homemade<br />

food at a great value is what is<br />

on the menu this holiday season.<br />

The Pop’s Italian Beef & Sausage<br />

Tinley Park location has<br />

been making the holidays special<br />

with its delicious catering offerings<br />

since 2009. Focusing on<br />

high quality food with affordable<br />

prices, Pop’s be a part of everyone’s<br />

celebrations this season.<br />

“Christmas Eve is our busiest<br />

day of the year,” owner Burke<br />

Matyas said. “People especially<br />

love our beef and chicken for<br />

their holiday gatherings.<br />

“Every 15 minutes, we are<br />

cooking 120 pieces of chicken,<br />

so call early for a prime spot.<br />

Some people who have made<br />

our food a tradition are calling<br />

a month in advance every year.”<br />

Pop’s famous chicken is pressure-cooked<br />

to make it more<br />

moist and delicious, which is<br />

why it is so popular among<br />

customers. Also, all the beef is<br />

cooked and sliced daily and has<br />

been since the first Pop’s opened<br />

its doors in Palos Heights in<br />

1980.<br />

Pop’s offers a variety of catering<br />

packages which include<br />

Italian beef, Italian sausage,<br />

chicken, baked mostaccioli, and<br />

sausage and meatball trays.<br />

Delicious catering services<br />

are not all Pop’s is known for.<br />

Pop’s in Tinley Park also is part<br />

of the hot lunch program for area<br />

schools, and offers a fundraising<br />

program that gives back 20 percent<br />

of its profits that day to the<br />

participating nonprofit group.<br />

Pop’s daily specials and text<br />

messaging promotions also<br />

make Pop’s in Tinley Park a<br />

popular lunch destination. At<br />

9:30 a.m. every Monday, a text<br />

message promotion is sent to<br />

26,000 phone numbers of people<br />

who opted into the program by<br />

texting the word POPS (in all<br />

capital letters) to 95577. The<br />

specials are good for Monday<br />

and Tuesday, and generally rotate<br />

between the same popular<br />

offerings. The menu items include;<br />

cheeseburger ($2.25),<br />

beef sandwich ($3.50), Italian<br />

sausage sandwich ($2.99), gyros<br />

sandwich ($3.50), breaded steak<br />

sandwich ($2.99), and all-beef<br />

hot dog ($2.25).<br />

There are always two different<br />

specials every day of the week.<br />

Also, every order comes with<br />

a brightly colored coupon for a<br />

customer’s next visit.<br />

For the most part, all Pop’s<br />

stores offer the same menu, but<br />

at Tinley Park people can also<br />

order a homemade sloppy Joe,<br />

or choose from two homemade<br />

soups; cream of chicken with<br />

rice, and vegetable beef barley.<br />

They are very popular with<br />

regulars and keep people coming<br />

back again and again.<br />

At Pop’s, customers are treated<br />

as more than a just a customer;<br />

they are treated as a friend.<br />

“We have so many regulars<br />

here, and I think it’s because we<br />

give out great customer service,”<br />

Matyas said. “We like to talk<br />

Cervical disk replacement at Illinois Spine & Scoliosis<br />

Center preserves range of motion, shortens recovery time<br />

Whether it is moving boxes of<br />

decorations or rearranging furniture<br />

to accommodate guests, the<br />

holidays can be a time of heavy<br />

lifting. That means many will<br />

be at risk of sustaining back and<br />

neck injuries.<br />

“The easiest way to cause an<br />

injury is not keeping the core<br />

muscles in shape,” said Dr. Kris<br />

Siemionow, chief of spine surgery<br />

and assistant professor of<br />

orthopedics and neurosurgery at<br />

the University of Illinois in Chicago.<br />

“The most common cause<br />

for a spinal injury is overuse.<br />

Often, when you overexert yourself,<br />

your muscles fatigue, which<br />

left unrested, can lead to worse<br />

injuries such as strains, pinched<br />

nerves, or even breaks.”<br />

One common ailment is a disk<br />

herniation. This painful condition<br />

is caused by problems with<br />

the rubbery disks between the<br />

individual vertebrae of the spine.<br />

“A herniated disk is extremely<br />

common,” said Dr. Anthony<br />

Rinella, founder of the Illinois<br />

Spine & Scoliosis Center. “It’s<br />

often caused by repetitive motions<br />

that involve looking up.<br />

Disk herniations in the neck are a<br />

common cause of pain radiating<br />

toward the shoulder and down<br />

the arm.”<br />

Fortunately, there are treatment<br />

options available. Patients<br />

often are successfully treated<br />

with conservative management<br />

options, such as pain medication,<br />

therapy and injections, but<br />

a small percentage of people<br />

with this condition will eventually<br />

need surgery. Traditionally,<br />

this procedure involved taking<br />

out the problematic disk and fusing<br />

the remaining disks together<br />

with metal hardware.<br />

While this fusion process provides<br />

spinal stability, it also can<br />

limit the patient’s range of motion.<br />

A newer procedure, called<br />

cervical disk replacement, has<br />

solved this problem. Like the<br />

standard cervical fusion, this surgery<br />

involves removing the disk<br />

to relieve pressure on the nerves.<br />

But instead of a metal plate, surgeons<br />

insert a flexible piece of<br />

plastic.<br />

“The biggest benefit is that this<br />

maintains motion of the neck in<br />

that area where normally a fusion<br />

procedure would weld the<br />

two bones together,” Siemionow<br />

said. “The cervical disk replacement<br />

basically functions similar<br />

to a joint replacement that maintains<br />

motion.”<br />

While the procedure has been<br />

around for some time, it is relatively<br />

new in the United States.<br />

“It took time for there to be<br />

adequate research and for insurance<br />

companies to support the<br />

new technology,” Rinella said.<br />

“Current studies suggest this is<br />

a major step forward for cervical<br />

spine surgery, perhaps the biggest<br />

step in the past 30 years.”<br />

Along with preserving range<br />

of motion, there are other benefits<br />

to the procedure. Cervical<br />

disk replacements typically have<br />

a shorter recovery time than a<br />

fusion procedure. Patients often<br />

go home the same day and are<br />

completely healed in 4-6 weeks.<br />

There are also fewer follow-up<br />

appointments needed.<br />

This recovery time is also<br />

more comfortable for the patients,<br />

because no immobilization<br />

devices, such as neck collars,<br />

are required. Compared to<br />

metal, the plastic device used in<br />

cervical disk replacement puts<br />

less pressure on the disks above<br />

and below it, which helps prevent<br />

arthritis or degeneration.<br />

Perhaps most importantly, the<br />

procedure quickly improves the<br />

patient’s quality of life by reducing<br />

their symptoms.<br />

“Patients usually see immediate<br />

improvement in their radiating<br />

pain symptoms. There’s a<br />

very high rate of success compared<br />

to other surgeries,” Rinella<br />

said. “In patients that do need<br />

surgery, we find that this new<br />

technology is very promising.<br />

And we are one of the few spine<br />

surgeons using this advanced<br />

technology.”<br />

Circle Tractor celebrating<br />

35 years in business<br />

For 35 years, people from the southwest<br />

suburbs have been coming to Circle<br />

Tractor for the highest-quality tractors,<br />

lawn equipment and attentive service.<br />

That has been its hallmark. Circle Tractor<br />

offers the widest selection of cuttingedge<br />

products from the industry-leading<br />

brands, such as John Deere, Toro, Honda<br />

and the latest addition — Avant.<br />

The dealership has grown from a small<br />

specialty shop to one of the largest multiline<br />

outdoor power equipment dealers in<br />

the area.<br />

At Circle Tractor, the company prides<br />

itself on customer service and its ability<br />

to meet each of its customer’s individual<br />

needs. The company knows how<br />

important equipment is to its customers<br />

and understands they want someone<br />

they trust to maintain it.<br />

The parts department is staffed by experienced<br />

professionals. They want to<br />

make sure customers get the right parts<br />

when they need them and at a fair price.<br />

The store carries more than 10,000 original<br />

equipment manufacturer parts in<br />

stock, and if for any reason it is not carrying<br />

the part someone needs, employees<br />

will gladly have them shipped to the<br />

store within just a couple of days.<br />

Having trouble finding a part? Just<br />

come in and talk to one of the store’s<br />

parts employees, who will gladly help<br />

locate the proper part needed for any machine.<br />

The service department is staffed by<br />

factory-trained and -certified professional<br />

mechanics. It prides itself on thorough<br />

inspections and proper diagnoses of machines<br />

in a timely manner. The service<br />

department will stand behind its work to<br />

make sure equipment is working properly<br />

for customers through the entire lawn<br />

and garden season.<br />

Celebrate the holidays with Side Street Tavern<br />

Side Street is not just another<br />

restaurant, nor just another sports<br />

bar, but an entire dining and entertainment<br />

emporium like none<br />

other in the southwest suburbs.<br />

Side Street incorporates a<br />

pleasurable dining experience<br />

with broad entertainment and an<br />

inviting social atmosphere. Side<br />

Street is large enough to seat 350<br />

guests, has a large outdoor patio<br />

that comfortably accommodates<br />

50 people and multiple party<br />

rooms.<br />

Side Street offers delicious<br />

food from a wide-ranging menu<br />

served by professional, courteous<br />

and friendly staff. Chef Victor<br />

has created “updated versions of<br />

American classics.” Side Street’s<br />

signature dish is cola-braised<br />

volcano pork shank, served with<br />

Carolina mopping sauce, as well<br />

as dishes that range from sirloin<br />

steak and vegetables finished<br />

with chimichurri sauce to North<br />

Creek salmon prepared with<br />

the customer’s choice of style –<br />

Asian sesame or barbecue.<br />

Comfort foods like turkey pot<br />

pie and pot roast that jive with<br />

the jolt of cold winter weather<br />

brings also are being added to<br />

the menu. For a palate pleasure,<br />

diners must try the roasted red<br />

potato and bacon salad, served<br />

delicious and hot. Patrons commonly<br />

remark on the Side Street<br />

chips starter, piled with fresh<br />

house-made chips, topped with<br />

grated Parmesan and truffle aioli,<br />

with a side of caramelized<br />

onion dip. The taco lineup is another<br />

popular category, ranging<br />

from the tinga-filled with flavorful<br />

shredded chicken, red onion,<br />

cilantro and crema to the Baha,<br />

made with battered mahi-mahi.<br />

Flatbreads, fresh salads and<br />

other handhelds round out the<br />

casual offerings, as well as three<br />

varieties of Weezees, a trademarked<br />

sandwich staple. The<br />

Side Street dining experience<br />

would not be a decadent occasion<br />

without dessert, and Side<br />

Street does not disappoint in this<br />

area. In addition to desserts that<br />

can be shared or reveled solo, the<br />

menu includes OMG It’s Gluten<br />

Free brownie and Side Street’s<br />

signature bread pudding that incorporates<br />

sweet cognac butter.<br />

It also features a list of dessert<br />

libations from Irish coffee to the<br />

silky sweet chocolate raspberry<br />

kiss, crafted with chocolate and<br />

raspberry liqueurs, mixed with<br />

coffee and finished with a dollop<br />

of whipped cream.<br />

To complement the dinner,<br />

Side Street offers a robust drink<br />

list. Side Street features more<br />

than 25 handpicked brews, some<br />

rotating and seasonal, others<br />

domestic and imported. The list<br />

also includes handcrafted cocktails<br />

and rosé, white and red<br />

wines — any of which can make<br />

a perfect pairing with the food<br />

selections. Also, Side Street has<br />

a long list of special drink offering<br />

and libations.<br />

Adding to the dining experience,<br />

Side Street offers live<br />

entertainment, DJ music, summertime<br />

outdoor music festivals,<br />

happy hour specials, pre-concert<br />

parties with ticket giveaways,<br />

post-concert parties with an occasional<br />

entertainer from the<br />

concert and for those who so<br />

wish, video slot machines.<br />

For the sports-minded, Side<br />

Street has 25 large screen televisions<br />

with a variety of sports<br />

channels on at all times. For<br />

those who want more active participation<br />

there are other regular<br />

events including bar bingo with<br />

a progressive jackpot, and bean<br />

bags including bags tournaments<br />

both indoors and outdoors.<br />

What is a time out without<br />

some awesome music? Side<br />

Street offers live music as diverse<br />

as it is foot-tappingly<br />

good, including everything from<br />

Sinatra-style, swing, rock, classic<br />

rock, country, folk, Irish, Motown<br />

and more.<br />

For special events, Side Street<br />

offers catering and private special<br />

event functions to accommodate<br />

anniversary, birthday,<br />

holiday, bridal and baby showers,<br />

office parties in a very contemporaneous<br />

setting. People<br />

should not wait — book the office<br />

or family and friends holiday<br />

party now.<br />

Side Street has a very simple<br />

idea: If a customer is going out<br />

to eat, they can incorporate some<br />

fun as well.<br />

Duet couple Phil &<br />

Amy celebrate 25 years<br />

Recording artists Phil & Amy are to be<br />

featured entertainers at Christmas dine<br />

and matinee performances scheduled for<br />

Tuesday, Nov. 28, at White Fence Farm<br />

and Wednesday, Dec. 6, at Starved Rock<br />

Lodge.<br />

Starved Rock Lodge also is to feature<br />

its “Strolling Down Broadway” show<br />

Aug. 6, 7 and 8, for those who were not<br />

able to get reservations for their November<br />

and December shows.<br />

The popular husband-and-wife duo<br />

have appeared throughout the Chicago<br />

area over the years, and recently rereleased<br />

their 25th anniversary edition<br />

“Opening Night” Andrew Lloyd Webber<br />

selection album via CDs, downloads and<br />

streams. Looking back, the album’s success<br />

was enhanced thanks to many appearances<br />

with the Franz Benteler Royal<br />

Strings Orchestra.<br />

It is almost hard to believe Phil & Amy<br />

just celebrated 25 years of marriage,<br />

capped by an unexpected surprise party<br />

feast at Drury Lane-Oakbrook, concocted<br />

by their three children, family and friends.<br />

This couple has been hosting travel<br />

tours for almost 25 years as well — motorcoach<br />

travel trips to destinations near<br />

and far. With each trip, the “family” of<br />

followers continues to grow.<br />

Phil & Amy adopted the name of St.<br />

Christopher Tours, invoking the blessing<br />

of the patron saint of travelers.<br />

Their motto is, “Like family, we visit<br />

authentic America.” Instead of piling into<br />

a family vehicle, customers board a deluxe<br />

motorcoach for a one- or multi-day<br />

excursion to a fabulous destination.<br />

Phil & Amy trips are so well-planned<br />

for comfort and enjoyment that it is like<br />

being a child again, when mom and dad<br />

New Lenox-based<br />

business works to make<br />

clothes dryers safer<br />

Most people know they<br />

need to clean out their<br />

dryer lint tray between<br />

each cycle, but what lurks<br />

behind the wall is just as<br />

important for safety and<br />

avoiding fire traps, as well<br />

as fully efficient dryer performance.<br />

Joe Enzenberger, owner<br />

of Dryer Vent Wizard,<br />

opened his New Lenoxbased<br />

business in 2009.<br />

Lint is the villain —<br />

lint that has been allowed<br />

to build up and linger too<br />

long in the dryer exhaust<br />

vent.<br />

It is estimated by the<br />

U.S. Consumer Product<br />

Safety Commission and<br />

the U.S. Fire Administration<br />

that 15,500 fires associated<br />

with clothes dryers<br />

occur annually. These fires<br />

account for an average of<br />

20 deaths, 370 injuries and<br />

more than $88 million in<br />

property damage.<br />

“Failure to clean the<br />

dryer vent” was the leading<br />

factor cited in U.S. Fire<br />

Administration reports.<br />

“It is something very<br />

few people know about or<br />

think about,” said Enzenberger,<br />

whose company<br />

specializes in dryer vent<br />

cleaning, repair, alteration<br />

and installation. “It is<br />

the leading cause of dryer<br />

fires.”<br />

Lint accumulation also<br />

can cause dryers to stop<br />

working or to work inefficiently.<br />

A dryer vent<br />

clogged with lint can add<br />

as much as $18 to $24 per<br />

month to energy costs.<br />

“Improper venting<br />

causes problems, as well,”<br />

Enzenberger said. “The<br />

dryer exhaust duct and<br />

connections should be<br />

made of rigid metal or<br />

semi-rigid metal and secured<br />

with metal, heatresistant<br />

tape, rather than<br />

duct tape. I often find<br />

plastic or foil accordiontype<br />

material, which can<br />

easily trap lint and is more<br />

susceptible to kinks and<br />

crushing.”<br />

Warning signs include the<br />

following.<br />

• Clothes are taking more<br />

than one cycle to dry,<br />

especially jeans and<br />

towels<br />

• No lint visible on lint<br />

screen<br />

• Dryer repeatedly stops<br />

during a cycle<br />

• Clothes have moldy<br />

smell after dry cycle<br />

• Clothes are very hot after<br />

a dry cycle<br />

• The top of the dryer hot<br />

to the touch while running<br />

• There is excess lint left<br />

on clothing<br />

“This has been a consumer<br />

education process,<br />

but it’s hard to get the<br />

word out,” Enzenberger<br />

said . “Most don’t call<br />

until they have a serious<br />

problem with their dryer.”<br />

He suggests people<br />

treat clothes dryers as a<br />

household item in need of<br />

regular maintenance. Consumers<br />

can protect dryer<br />

performance and promote<br />

safety by cleaning the lint<br />

screen between each use,<br />

ensuring the connection<br />

between the dryer and<br />

wall is made of compliant<br />

material and remains<br />

un-kinked, and having the<br />

dryer exhaust duct cleaned<br />

regularly. Dryer manufacturers<br />

recommend inspection<br />

and cleaning at least<br />

annually.<br />

Those who are taking<br />

some time off for the holidays<br />

find it is the perfect<br />

time to have an inspection<br />

and cleaning of clothes<br />

dryers and dryer vent systems.<br />

Another important tip:<br />

Never let your clothes dryer<br />

run when you are out of<br />

the house or asleep.<br />

933 South State Street • Lockport, Illinois 60441 • 815-552-3031<br />

Embers one of Lockport’s<br />

bright spots after rising<br />

from building’s ashes<br />

Located in the heart of<br />

Lockport, Embers Tap<br />

House is one of the area’s<br />

most popular spots.<br />

Embers Tap House was<br />

born in June 2015, with its<br />

opening at the very start<br />

of Canal Days. The Volz<br />

Building sat empty for eight<br />

years after a fire destroyed<br />

the building, leaving a vacancy<br />

in the revitalization<br />

of downtown Lockport.<br />

Through a collaborative effort<br />

with the community,<br />

Embers rose from the ashes<br />

to become an anchor on<br />

State Street.<br />

Employing more than 75<br />

people from the community,<br />

designed and built from<br />

all local contractors, with<br />

materials sourced from<br />

local businesses, Embers<br />

is here for the community<br />

and continues to give<br />

back to the community.<br />

The unique and historical<br />

ambiance creates the perfect<br />

backdrop for the next<br />

formal event or the next<br />

casual drink with friends.<br />

For those looking for a<br />

unique and versatile private<br />

space to host the next<br />

party, celebration, bash<br />

or formal event, Embers<br />

Banquet Center offers the<br />

perfect solution. Embers’<br />

naturally historic yet chic<br />

room is unique, comfortable<br />

and spacious enough<br />

for many types of events.<br />

Its expansive and exceptional<br />

menu allows one to<br />

supplement the celebration<br />

with cuisine and service to<br />

complement distinct tastes<br />

and styles. In addition to its<br />

popular to-go catering menu,<br />

Embers’ banquet space can<br />

accommodate anywhere<br />

from 30 to 150 people. Its<br />

experienced event coordinator,<br />

Theresa Wolf, prides<br />

herself in taking great care in<br />

perfecting each of Embers’<br />

events and looks forward to<br />

working with new customers<br />

soon.<br />

The natural historical elements,<br />

combined with the<br />

contemporary and rustic<br />

design, will have everyone<br />

in awe. With a menu and<br />

bar full of character and<br />

delectable charm, as well<br />

as friendly, comforting<br />

service, Embers soon is to<br />

become a favorite stop.<br />

Village Pizza was established<br />

in July 1977, and<br />

it still resides at its original<br />

location of 17260 Oak<br />

Park Ave. in Tinley Park.<br />

The business came to be<br />

through Tony Martino’s<br />

dream to open a small Italian<br />

restaurant and truly<br />

live the American dream.<br />

He came to the United<br />

States with very little, and<br />

— through hard work and<br />

the support of his family<br />

and the community — he<br />

made Village Pizza into<br />

the successful business it<br />

is today.<br />

Choosing to open the<br />

business in the lovely<br />

Tinley Park was a nobrainer.<br />

Martino first became<br />

familiar with the<br />

area through other family<br />

members moving to the<br />

area. It only took a few<br />

visits to learn how beautiful<br />

of a neighborhood and<br />

welcoming of a community<br />

Tinley Park was. So,<br />

Martino decided to move<br />

his family and start a business<br />

in Tinley Park. They<br />

do not regret that decision<br />

to this day.<br />

Village Pizza’s menu<br />

features a variety of items<br />

sure to please every member<br />

of the family. The business<br />

is best known for its<br />

authentic, thin-crust pizza,<br />

made with the freshest ingredients<br />

and cooked in an<br />

antique pizza oven. The<br />

restaurant also features oven-baked<br />

Italian beef sandwiches<br />

and baked pastas.<br />

Something that most<br />

customers do not know<br />

is that the entire process,<br />

from ingredients to pizza,<br />

has remained mostly unchanged<br />

over the past 36<br />

years. Probably the biggest<br />

change was when<br />

Village Pizza purchased<br />

a dough mixer, so Mama<br />

Carmela would no longer<br />

have to knead the dough<br />

by hand.<br />

Village Pizza wishes the<br />

community happy holidays.<br />

Providence Catholic High School to hold<br />

placement exam for incoming students<br />

Providence Catholic<br />

High School welcomes<br />

all current eighth-grade<br />

students to the Incoming<br />

Freshman Placement<br />

Exam on Saturday, Dec. 2.<br />

Providence Catholic<br />

High School is a college<br />

prep school and challenges<br />

every student academically.<br />

Whether the student<br />

is in Advanced Placement,<br />

honors, college prep or<br />

needs a little assistance<br />

in the classroom, there is<br />

a place for every student.<br />

Providence Catholic ACT<br />

scores are the best of any<br />

school in Will County.<br />

Providence Catholic<br />

students go on to excel at<br />

top tier colleges and universities.<br />

Students receive<br />

personalized college counseling<br />

to make the right<br />

choice. Graduates receive<br />

more scholarship dollars<br />

than any other high school<br />

in the area. It is quite clear<br />

that there is an advantage<br />

to attending Providence<br />

Catholic, often dubbed<br />

The Providence Advantage.<br />

“Our demanding coeducational,<br />

college preparatory<br />

curriculum is evidenced<br />

by the success of<br />

our most recent graduates<br />

who earned scholarships<br />

valued at nearly $40 million,”<br />

President Fr. Richard<br />

McGrath said. “We<br />

offer inclusive service programs;<br />

in fact, our recent<br />

graduates performed in<br />

excess of 25,000 hours of<br />

community service during<br />

their high school careers.”<br />

Not only do the Celtics<br />

experience excellence in<br />

the classroom, but PCHS<br />

students also succeed in<br />

the athletic and extracurricular<br />

arenas. The Celtics<br />

are home to 30 state<br />

championships, 67 state<br />

trophies and hundreds of<br />

regional titles, sectional titles<br />

and conference championships.<br />

The outcomes<br />

of the graduates from the<br />

Class of 2017 demonstrate<br />

the elite and premier education<br />

at Providence Catholic.<br />

“Providing financial<br />

assistance to Providence<br />

Catholic families is a top<br />

priority for the school,”<br />

said Ed Barrett, director of<br />

need-based aid. “Twentyfive<br />

percent of our families<br />

receive some type of financial<br />

assistance.<br />

“In fact, this year the<br />

school has invested, and<br />

$1.6 million was awarded<br />

to our families in needbased<br />

scholarships and<br />

grants, work programs,<br />

discounts, and subsidized<br />

lunches.”<br />

Providence Catholic invites<br />

potential students to<br />

continue the tradition and<br />

become a part of excellence.<br />

Pre-registration is<br />

required for all incoming<br />

freshmen. For information<br />

Providence Catholic’s<br />

placement exam, contact<br />

Gym-Kinetics offers camps and clinics<br />

The Gym-Kinetics gymnastic<br />

school will be hosting many<br />

different camps and clinics during<br />

the Christmas holidays in its<br />

newly expanded facility.<br />

Gym-Kinetics is going through<br />

a 7,000-square-foot expansion of<br />

its existing 17,000-square-foot<br />

gym. Owners Jim and Wendy<br />

Fredrickson started the expansion<br />

a couple of months ago to<br />

give all of their students a more<br />

comfortable experience. The<br />

parking lot is completed, and<br />

the gym space is to be ready<br />

in a couple weeks. A three-day<br />

gymnastic camp is scheduled<br />

after Christmas for beginners to<br />

advanced gymnasts from 10:30<br />

a.m.-12:30 p.m. Dec. 27, 28 and<br />

29.<br />

Also offered will be Flip Flop<br />

clinics at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. on<br />

Dec. 27 and 28, and the very<br />

popular Ninja Zone mission for<br />

girls and boys ages 4-9.<br />

As Gym-Kinetics gets bigger,<br />

its gymnasts are getting stronger.<br />

Many of the top gymnasts in<br />

the state train in Mokena, and<br />

staff at the south side gym is excited<br />

to test the new space with<br />

many upgrades to its state-ofthe-art<br />

facility.<br />

Hundreds of state, regional<br />

and national champions have<br />

come out of Gym-Kinetics over<br />

the years, as well as more than<br />

30 full-ride college scholarships.<br />

The business is hoping to see a<br />

few more soon.<br />

The owners said several college<br />

coaches have been in the<br />

gym the last few weeks, recruiting<br />

Gym-Kinetics’ athletes.<br />

They expect some offers to come<br />

in soon.<br />

Gym-Kinetics offers classes<br />

for children just walking up<br />

through high school age for both<br />

girls and boys. The new addition<br />

will have dedicated space for<br />

the quickly growing Ninja Zone<br />

program, along with reorganizing<br />

the preschool space, and the<br />

boys gymnastic area, which will<br />

make all of the programs more<br />

comfortable. Gym-Kinetics also<br />

will be renting space to local<br />

cheer teams.<br />

Chesdan’s maintains status as crowd-pleaser<br />

Historic pizzeria<br />

tantalizes taste buds with<br />

assortment of dishes<br />

At Chesdan’s, the goal is to<br />

be innovative in adding things<br />

to the menu, but not to the point<br />

that people feel uncomfortable<br />

trying new dishes.<br />

That is the mindset of Dan<br />

Garr, who owns the pizzeria and<br />

grille in Homer Glen with his<br />

brother, Jim.<br />

The dining establishment<br />

was started in Brighton Park by<br />

brothers Chester and Dan Sr.,<br />

who combined their names in<br />

1946, and the business quickly<br />

became popular for its pizza and<br />

other cuisine.<br />

Garr and his brother took over<br />

running the restaurant in 1975<br />

and moved it out to Homer Glen<br />

in 2002, when they got the first<br />

liquor license in a village that<br />

The Original King Special pizza — a thin crust<br />

with cheese with sausage, mushroom, onion<br />

and green pepper — is a longtime favorite at<br />

Chesdan’s in Homer Glen. Photos by Thomas<br />

Czaja/22nd Century Media<br />

was incorporated just the year<br />

before.<br />

Though the brand has been a<br />

success ever since, Garr does not<br />

rest on his laurels.<br />

“There are some core<br />

things we always have here,”<br />

Garr said, noting the pizzas with<br />

fresh ingredients and many of the<br />

pasta dishes. “But people’s tastes<br />

have changed over the years in<br />

what they are looking for.”<br />

The chicken margarita sandwich is made with<br />

a grilled, tender breast of chicken topped with<br />

fresh bruschetta, romaine lettuce, Parmesan<br />

cheese and mozzarella, all on French bread that is<br />

toasted.<br />

For those looking to stick with<br />

tradition, getting a small, 10-<br />

inch Original King Special pizza<br />

— with thin crust and cheese<br />

with sausage, mushroom, onion<br />

and green pepper — is a viable<br />

sausage. It’s fresh, never frozen.<br />

We grind our own cheese, and<br />

I’m very particular about the<br />

freshness of cheese.”<br />

The owner points out there is<br />

a delicate balance to be found in<br />

the dairy.<br />

“We get the cheese direct from<br />

Wisconsin, and if it is too fresh<br />

it is very dry, and if too old it is<br />

very oily,” he said. “If it’s not<br />

right, I reject the whole lot.”<br />

Where the restaurant has<br />

branched out in recent years is in<br />

adding menu items such as new<br />

pasta dishes and sandwiches, like<br />

the chicken margarita sandwich<br />

— a grilled chicken breast on a<br />

French bread bun that is toasted<br />

and served with mozzarella and<br />

Parmesan cheeses. Menu items<br />

like these make for a good lunch<br />

or quick bite, according to the<br />

owner.<br />

If in the mood for the pasta,<br />

the Arabiatta di Manzo — which<br />

also comes in a meta (or halfportion)<br />

— gives the palate plenty<br />

of flavor with its tender beef,<br />

red pepper flakes, garlic, red<br />

onion, mushrooms, black olive<br />

and fresh basil tossed over penne<br />

noodles and finished with sliced<br />

Parmesan cheese.<br />

“I think people like the family-owned<br />

solid restaurant that<br />

has friendly service,” Garr said<br />

in summing up the success the<br />

business has achieved over the<br />

decades.<br />

Chesdan’s also attracts customers<br />

by coming up with more<br />

recent daily specials. Between<br />

wine nights, summer entertainment<br />

on the Chesdan’s patio<br />

and other promotions, there is<br />

plenty to experience with each<br />

new visit to the restaurant. There<br />

also are treats all ages can enjoy,<br />

like a hand-scooped, made-withwhole-milk,<br />

creamy Oreo milkshake<br />

in a 22-ounce glass mug.<br />

Altogether, Chesdan’s is proud<br />

of its past while still working<br />

hard and tweaking things here<br />

and there for an even better future.<br />

“It is quite fulfilling,” Garr said<br />

of working at the restaurant with<br />

many family members and providing<br />

a combination of excellence<br />

in ambiance and cuisine. “I<br />

love it.”<br />

Other dishes not to miss ...<br />

• Buffalo shrimp 10-piece —<br />

Owner Dan Garr’s favorite<br />

Chesdan’s appetizer on which<br />

to snack, this dish consists of<br />

breaded and butterflied shrimp<br />

that are peeled and de-veined<br />

in-house, covered in a Cuervo<br />

buffalo sauce.<br />

• Cinnamon pillows — A dessert<br />

the whole family can share,<br />

these “pillows” are fried dough<br />

covered in cinnamon sugar and<br />

dipped in caramel and chocolate<br />

sauces that are served on<br />

the side.<br />

Chesdan’s also caters holiday<br />

parties.<br />

Evergreen Senior Living lets residents live life to the fullest<br />

Evergreen Senior Living in<br />

Orland Park is a community<br />

where independence thrives, and<br />

compassionate care is always<br />

present.<br />

At Evergreen Senior Living,<br />

seniors are encouraged to live<br />

independent and personally satisfying<br />

lives, focused on positive<br />

relationships and daily opportunities<br />

for joy. From lovely<br />

common spaces to purposeful<br />

programming, the design of Evergreen<br />

Senior Living inspires<br />

engagement and satisfaction.<br />

living and memory care<br />

services.<br />

Evergreen Place Assisted Living<br />

Evergreen Place Assisted Living<br />

on the Evergreen Senior Living<br />

campus is committed to helping<br />

seniors live life their way.<br />

Each senior receives as much<br />

or as little help as they request,<br />

with multiple levels of care<br />

available to meet individual<br />

needs and preferences. From<br />

routine medication management<br />

to discreet personal service, seniors<br />

maintain their dignity, as<br />

they receive personalized support<br />

services in the privacy of<br />

their own apartments.<br />

At Evergreen Place Assisted<br />

Living, the active, socially engaging<br />

environment allows residents<br />

to retain their health with a<br />

sense of purpose and fulfillment.<br />

Evergreen Place’s community of<br />

care and friendship allows seniors<br />

to live a worry-free life that<br />

can be enjoyed and embraced.<br />

Amenities provided include<br />

chef-prepared meals, the ability<br />

The Legacy: Memory Support<br />

The Legacy: Memory Support<br />

at Evergreen Senior Living<br />

is devoted to seniors living with<br />

Alzheimer’s disease and other<br />

forms of dementia. Caregivers<br />

work with seniors to ensure they<br />

maintain a healthy and mentally<br />

stimulating life at the greatest<br />

level of independence possible.<br />

Families find comfort in the<br />

team’s experience and ability to<br />

make the transition as smooth<br />

as possible for the entire family.<br />

Helpful short-term options, such<br />

as respite care, also are available.<br />

The Legacy’s core philosophy<br />

is “Life Unrehearsed.” With a focus<br />

on personal interactions and<br />

life skills, each day is allowed to<br />

unfold uniquely for each senior<br />

based upon their history, their<br />

preferences and needs in the moment.<br />

This daily journey offers<br />

a gentle structure, a number of<br />

programs to maintain a senior’s<br />

abilities, encourages the use of<br />

their skills, and creates a sense<br />

of security and belonging. Opportunities<br />

for success and joy<br />

are abundant.<br />

Celebrate joy this holiday season<br />

Evergreen encourages all of<br />

its seniors to celebrate the joy<br />

in each and every day. And what<br />

better time of year to celebrate<br />

joy than during the upcoming<br />

holiday season?<br />

This year, Evergreen would<br />

like the community celebrate<br />

with it, so is opening its campus<br />

to the public from 4-7 p.m.<br />

Thursday, Dec. 7, for its holiday<br />

tour.<br />

People can see firsthand the<br />

lovely community at Evergreen<br />

Senior Living as its seniors welcome<br />

them into their apartments<br />

— each individually decorated<br />

for the holiday season. People<br />

can enjoy refreshments as they<br />

tour the festive campus and meet<br />

the wonderful members of the<br />

community.<br />

This is a free event open to the<br />

public, but in the spirit of giving<br />

Evergreen inviting guests to<br />

bring an unwrapped toy for the<br />

Pediatric Oncology Treasure<br />

the perfect time to consider a move<br />

to maintenance-free living.<br />

For retirees, Hanover Place offers<br />

a perfect way to say goodbye to coldweather<br />

woes. Living is truly carefree<br />

with no need for snow shovels<br />

or ice scrapers, and no worries about<br />

frozen pipes.<br />

At Hanover Place, residents enjoy<br />

a carefree, maintenance-free lifestyle<br />

away from the hassles of home ownership<br />

but with all the benefits of a<br />

private residence in a choice of spacious<br />

one- and two-bedroom options.<br />

All floor plans feature full-size<br />

kitchens, open living spaces and<br />

full bathrooms. Even better, a maintenance<br />

team is just a call away to<br />

assist with projects large and small.<br />

Four-legged friends feel at home,<br />

too, because it is a pet-friendly community.<br />

Hanover Place also represents a<br />

value for retirees because the independent<br />

living rental community<br />

requires no down payment, just flexible<br />

month-to-month rent with most<br />

utilities included.<br />

Residents enjoy many extra resort-style<br />

services and amenities that<br />

make life easier and more enjoyable<br />

in this community. There is no<br />

need to get in a car to go to a movie<br />

theater, bistro, fitness center or hair<br />

salon. All are just steps away at Hanover<br />

Place, or transportation is provided.<br />

Scheduled activities —from fitness<br />

classes to games and crafts<br />

— at the community make life fun.<br />

Planned social events offer opportunities<br />

to meet new friends. Should<br />

residents have health care needs, an<br />

on-site health clinic and in-home<br />

health services also are available.<br />

Life at Hanover Place, in a desirable,<br />

convenient location, puts area<br />

attractions just minutes away. Residents<br />

live less than 3 miles from<br />

the Metra station, farmer’s market,<br />

Music in the Plaza and Benches on<br />

the Avenue. As for dining and entertainment,<br />

coffeehouses and bakeries,<br />

fine dining and nightlife, sports bars<br />

and lounges all are part of the neighborhood.<br />

The community is conveniently<br />

located near Interstate 80 and Interstate<br />

57, offering easy travel to Chicago<br />

and neighboring states. Metra’s<br />

commuter rail service provides fast<br />

daily service to Chicago and Joliet.<br />

Chicago’s Midway International<br />

Airport is roughly a half-hour drive<br />

north, while O’Hare International<br />

Airport is only 45 minutes away.<br />

Pace Suburban Bus Service offers<br />

local travel.<br />

life — especially before the winter<br />

wind blows — at Hanover Place.<br />

Just Shrimp serving Tinley<br />

Park seafood since 2014<br />

When Just Shrimp opened its doors in late 2014, few<br />

people in the Tinley Park area knew or ever had tried<br />

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

would say that Just Shrimp’s menu goes beyond, “just<br />

shrimp.”<br />

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

opened,” Christina Mihalos said. “Items such as the gator<br />

po’ boy and the tilapia, that had been featured as specials,<br />

had such high feedback that we added them to our menu<br />

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

were looking for a healthier alternative, so we added a<br />

Jack Gibbons Gardens all<br />

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 the<br />

wood-paneled walls, Jack<br />

Gibbons is truly timeless.<br />

In a time when 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<br />

menu — it is easy to know<br />

one is about to have one of<br />

the 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 />

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 with<br />

which the bartender knows<br />

the customers, what they<br />

are having and the friends<br />

they bring with them.<br />

David and Anne Jenkins bid<br />

farewell to jewelry business<br />

After 40 years in suburban Chicago, David<br />

Jenkins and his wife, Anne, have announced<br />

plans to retire and close the David<br />

Anthony Jewelers stores in both Tinley Park<br />

and New Lenox.<br />

David opened the store at 17024 S. Oak<br />

Park Avenue in Tinley Park in 1979, and<br />

as the community grew they opened a second<br />

location in 1996 at 1876 E. Lincoln<br />

Highway in New Lenox. The stores have<br />

always been best known for quality customer<br />

service and custom work, especially<br />

with fine-colored gems from around the<br />

world and diamonds in various shapes. As<br />

a horologist, David was able to take care of<br />

watch and clock repairs for their customers,<br />

as well as jewelry repair work.<br />

The Jenkins actively have supported<br />

the community and given time, talents<br />

and funds to the local police, Lions Clubs,<br />

American Legion and St. Jude Children’s<br />

Research Hospital, as well as sponsored<br />

many of the local baseball teams.<br />

Even though the business is still successful,<br />

they feel it is time to retire and<br />

move on. They do not have any specific<br />

plans yet but primarily want to travel —<br />

something they have not been able to do<br />

with the demands of the stores.<br />

“On behalf of the entire David Anthony<br />

Jewelers staff, we extend our deepest thanks<br />

for your business and continued support,”<br />

they wrote in a farewell statement. “We are<br />

so grateful that you have trusted us to provide<br />

quality jewelry and gifts to create long<br />

lasting memories of your engagements, anniversaries,<br />

retirements and celebrations. It<br />

has been an honor to be part of your important<br />

moments for all these years, and we will<br />

miss you greatly.”<br />

Both stores will be open from 10 am..-6<br />

p.m. Monday-Friday, and from 10 a.m.-5<br />

p.m. Saturday, hosting a huge Going Out<br />

Of Business Sale in which customers can<br />

expect to save as much as 60 percent on<br />

all fine jewelry and watches.<br />

Dancing Marlin’s sharedplates<br />

concept encourages<br />

sampling, friendship<br />

Eat, drink, share —<br />

Dancing Marlin in Frankfort<br />

is proud to be the first<br />

South Suburban Chicago<br />

restaurant to offer shared<br />

plates featuring fine American<br />

cuisine in an ultrahip<br />

yet informal setting.<br />

Conveniently located<br />

minutes from Interstate 80,<br />

Dancing Marlin offers a<br />

seasonally evolving menu<br />

that highlights innovative,<br />

responsible and sustainable<br />

fare with a purpose.<br />

Diners can experience the<br />

innovative, chef-driven<br />

Dancing Marlin menu, on<br />

which every item is made<br />

in-house from scratch, using<br />

high quality, fresh and<br />

locally sourced ingredients.<br />

In addition to great food,<br />

Dancing Marlin’s sharing<br />

concept provides a lively<br />

and entertaining experience<br />

perfect for dining<br />

with friends and family.<br />

What are the rules for<br />

sharing?<br />

There are no rules!<br />

Guests begin by ordering<br />

a few dishes to share.<br />

Those still hungry can go<br />

ahead and try a few more.<br />

If someone at the table is<br />

not the sharing type — and<br />

there’s nothing wrong with<br />

that — they may enjoy one<br />

of the larger entrées.<br />

People can start their<br />

tasting adventures with<br />

house-made sliders, tacos<br />

or a flatbread, and then<br />

enjoy a DM signature dish<br />

such as “Gnudi”, “The Fig<br />

and the Pig” or the locally<br />

famous “NY Strip Steak”<br />

— served Tuscan-style.<br />

Diners should not forget<br />

to taste the fresh seafood.<br />

Dancing Marlin features<br />

fresh fish sourced direct<br />

from Hawaii, Japan, British<br />

Columbia and other<br />

acclaimed international<br />

seafood locations. Patrons<br />

also can try some of the<br />

acclaimed DM favorites,<br />

such as crab-stuffed peppers,<br />

DM scallops, spicy<br />

garlic shrimp and the daily<br />

“fresh off the hook” specials.<br />

An extensive list of<br />

gluten-free items, as well<br />

as vegetarian dishes, are<br />

offered.<br />

Dancing Marlin knows<br />

when it comes to quality,<br />

details matter. The DM<br />

full service bar offers 18<br />

carefully selected wines<br />

served from a custom tap<br />

system with perfect air and<br />

temperature control for<br />

every glass poured. Eight<br />

handcrafted cocktails also<br />

are offered on tap, many<br />

of which are seasonally<br />

inspired.<br />

The DM staff has a passion<br />

for food and drink,<br />

and customers are encouraged<br />

to ask for pairing<br />

suggestions.<br />

Dancing Marlin recognizes<br />

that dining is as<br />

much about the experience<br />

as it is the cuisine, and the<br />

atmosphere is as rousing<br />

as the food. Interior design<br />

elements are reclaimed<br />

or repurposed, and serve<br />

as a reflection of responsible<br />

and sustainable values.<br />

Diners also can have<br />

a seat at the chef’s communal<br />

table, also known<br />

as “The Kitchen Table,”<br />

where you can experience<br />

an exclusive behind-thescenes<br />

look at the high<br />

energy DM open kitchen.<br />

The atmosphere there<br />

buzzes with excitement<br />

and creates a festive sharing<br />

environment for up to<br />

16 people.<br />

Dancing Marlin is the<br />

perfect setting for private<br />

dining and group events<br />

ranging from cozy family<br />

affairs for birthdays,<br />

anniversaries or showers<br />

to large corporate dinners<br />

and client cocktail parties.<br />

Customers can create custom<br />

menus as unique as<br />

the party being planned.<br />

Dancing Marlin staffs<br />

each private party with<br />

dedicated servers to ensure<br />

everyone has the best dining<br />

experience.<br />

Holiday lights will soon<br />

glow and twinkle. Bells<br />

will jingle, while front<br />

lawns and rooftops receive<br />

a plush blanket of white<br />

fluffy snow. Belly laughs<br />

and joyful greetings will<br />

be heard, as busy shoppers<br />

travel the distance to find<br />

those “perfect gifts” — all<br />

with excited anticipation<br />

of the holiday preparations<br />

and family traditions.<br />

Synonymous with the<br />

authentic sentiments of<br />

family traditions are the<br />

customs that Lisa and<br />

Steve Sczurek bestow<br />

upon their breakfast restaurants<br />

and employees,<br />

not only during the holidays<br />

but year-round. Being<br />

proud third generation<br />

owners of five Chicago<br />

area Original Pancake<br />

House franchises, they<br />

work relentlessly to keep<br />

“family” in their “familyowned<br />

business.”<br />

Lisa and Steve work<br />

alongside everyone at the<br />

restaurant. When not at<br />

school, their older children<br />

host and serve, working to<br />

continue family traditions.<br />

Encompassing the essence<br />

of tradition, Lisa<br />

and Steve know guests<br />

enjoy seeing familiar<br />

faces among the crew.<br />

Therefore, they take pride<br />

in their employment selection<br />

and training. Every<br />

employee undergoes<br />

cutting-edge instruction<br />

programs tailored to their<br />

positions before they are<br />

approved to work solo.<br />

There also are banners<br />

and table signs displayed,<br />

honoring long-time, loyal<br />

employees. This supports<br />

the business where<br />

it counts, promoting unmatched<br />

loyalty all the<br />

way around.<br />

“I am very proud to have<br />

numerous long-time employees<br />

in each of our five<br />

locations — many as long<br />

as 25-35 years,” Lisa said.<br />

Keeping true to the importance<br />

of family meals,<br />

The Original Pancake<br />

House menu items are<br />

made-to-order using the<br />

freshest, most natural and<br />

preservative-free ingredients<br />

available, just like<br />

grandma used to make.<br />

The vast menu offers<br />

something for everyone,<br />

covering every imaginable<br />

breakfast feast in a multitude<br />

of ways.<br />

One traditional preference<br />

is the oven-baked,<br />

homemade quiche, requiring<br />

hand-sliced and mixed<br />

ingredients, served in a<br />

flaky crust beside fresh<br />

fruit and seasoned hash<br />

browned potatoes. Second<br />

to none are the delectable<br />

potato pancakes, which are<br />

made from hand-peeled<br />

Idaho potatoes, finely<br />

minced on the premises<br />

each morning, then grilled<br />

to a crispy outside with a<br />

warm and tender inside,<br />

and served with the customer’s<br />

choice of applesauce<br />

or sour cream.<br />

Another favorite is the<br />

renowned apple pancake,<br />

prepared with fresh sliced<br />

Granny Smith apples,<br />

smothered in a pure cinnamon<br />

glaze. Not only is<br />

this oven-baked treat a satisfying<br />

meal built to share<br />

but also Lisa has made it<br />

a “must-have” at her own<br />

family gatherings. Once it<br />

is warmed in the oven, she<br />

serves it with vanilla ice<br />

cream as a mouthwatering<br />

dessert. It is so popular,<br />

in fact, that The Original<br />

Pancake House gets multiple<br />

phone orders for this<br />

dish as a carryout item,<br />

because other families are<br />

adopting this homemade<br />

guilty pleasure, as well.<br />

So, as residents plan<br />

family preparations, they<br />

can volunteer to bring an<br />

apple pancake for dessert<br />

or treat loved ones to<br />

breakfast at The Original<br />

Pancake House, where everyone<br />

is sure to feel like<br />

family.<br />

Santa Claus is coming to New Lenox<br />

for Christmas in the Commons<br />

Mayor Tim Baldermann and the<br />

Village of New Lenox are excited<br />

to announce the return of Christmas<br />

in the Commons for the 2017 holiday<br />

season.<br />

The spectacular display of lights<br />

highlighted by the largest illuminated<br />

Santa Claus in the United States<br />

will return to the New Lenox Village<br />

Commons for its second year,<br />

accompanied by a full calendar of<br />

holiday activities.<br />

The holiday light display is to<br />

begin lighting up the Village Commons<br />

Dec. 3, with dazzling drapes<br />

of lights and life-sized displays that<br />

will transform the Commons into<br />

a winter wonderland. Santa Claus<br />

is to stand nearly 40 feet tall, with<br />

18,500 LED lights, and his special<br />

mailbox to the North Pole will sit at<br />

his feet. Visitors will have the opportunity<br />

to mail letters to Santa,<br />

and all letters mailed by Dec. 17<br />

will receive a response from St.<br />

Nick.<br />

Also returning to the Commons<br />

will be a synthetic ice skating rink,<br />

presented in part by the New Lenox<br />

Community Park District. Standard<br />

skates can be used on the rink, and<br />

guests are encouraged to bring their<br />

own skates, though a limited supply<br />

will be available to rent during select<br />

hours.<br />

New to Christmas in the Commons<br />

this year is a holiday market,<br />

taking place weekends from<br />

Dec. 3 through Dec. 23. Guests<br />

will find a new variety of vendors<br />

each weekend, offering homemade<br />

and artisanal wares for sale. People<br />

can stop by to find unique gifts for<br />

family and friends while supporting<br />

small businesses in a beautiful holiday<br />

atmosphere.<br />

All the fun begins Dec. 3 with the<br />

Christmas in the Commons Kickoff<br />

Celebration from 2-6 p.m. in<br />

the Village Commons. The kick-off<br />

will include a visit from Santa and<br />

Mrs. Claus, an appearance by Santa’s<br />

reindeer, holiday performances<br />

and more. The day will culminate<br />

with the official throwing of the<br />

switch to light up the Commons<br />

with the holiday lights.<br />

Additional details on Christmas<br />

in the Commons can be found at<br />

www.newlenox.net/events or by<br />

calling the Village of New Lenox at<br />

(815) 462-6400.<br />

Forest View Farms offers horseback riding for the holidays<br />

For more than 50 years,<br />

Forest View Farms has<br />

welcomed horse-lovers of<br />

all ages, whether they have<br />

been riding all of their<br />

lives or want to enjoy their<br />

first rides.<br />

Forest View Farms in<br />

Tinley Park abuts the Cook<br />

County Forest Preserves<br />

— a beautiful piece of<br />

land that begs to be seen.<br />

The farms invite people<br />

to enjoy time away from<br />

life’s stresses and spend<br />

time relaxing by meandering<br />

through the beautiful<br />

forest trails.<br />

Riders are paired with<br />

a horse at the rider’s skill<br />

level, so new riders do not<br />

feel overwhelmed while<br />

sleigh rides, hayrides or<br />

other horse-drawn vehicles<br />

piloted by one of<br />

the farms’ accomplished<br />

workers.<br />

Trail rides begin on the<br />

Forest View Farms property<br />

and take adjacent<br />

trails through the Cook<br />

County Forest Preserves.<br />

Trail rides are offered<br />

year-round, and offered<br />

for both private, reserved<br />

rides and walk-in customers.<br />

Trail riders need to be<br />

at least 9 years of age, with<br />

a 250-pound weight limit.<br />

Children younger than 9<br />

who want to ride also can<br />

enjoy pony rides, which<br />

are offered year-round and<br />

are great for smaller children.<br />

Children learn to be<br />

comfortable around horses<br />

during their controlled<br />

trail ride around the Forest<br />

View Farms property. All<br />

ponies are hand-led by a<br />

parent or adult.<br />

Forest View Farms offer<br />

riding lessons for new and<br />

advanced riders, young<br />

and old. For those who<br />

have always wanted to try<br />

horseback riding, there<br />

are classes for people of<br />

all ages, from 3 years and<br />

older. Toddlers can become<br />

comfortable around<br />

horses or ponies, and older<br />

children can start learning<br />

riding basics, with lessons<br />

tailored to their ages and<br />

levels of comfort.<br />

For adults who have<br />

never had the chance to<br />

try horseback riding, Forest<br />

Views Farms has both<br />

group and private lessons,<br />

so people can try it out<br />

with their friends or on<br />

their own. Forest View<br />

Farms also offers driving<br />

lessons.<br />

Forest View Farms offers<br />

everything one needs<br />

for a successful, memorable<br />

party. Parties can be<br />

built to accommodate everything<br />

from trail rides,<br />

pony rentals, hayrides, ride<br />

wagons, covered wagons,<br />

carriages and stage coach<br />

to petting farm animals.<br />

Sheriff badges, hats and<br />

bandannas are available<br />

as party favors. The farms<br />

have outdoor party pavilions<br />

for their heated party<br />

barn for fall, winter and<br />

spring comfort.<br />

And whether or not one<br />

decides to have a party at<br />

his or her location, or the<br />

farms, Forest View can<br />

supply everything needed,<br />

including western decorations<br />

and props for a great<br />

party all guests will remember.<br />

Forest View also does<br />

parades, weddings, reunions,<br />

convention events,<br />

company picnics, cookouts,<br />

special events and<br />

parties for all occasions.<br />

Forest View Farms invites<br />

everyone to join for<br />

a week of horsey fun at<br />

the horse camp, which is<br />

a great way to learn about<br />

horses and other farm animals.<br />

During the week at<br />

camp, campers will learn<br />

to brush, saddle and ride<br />

horses. Campers also will<br />

adopt one farm animal and<br />

take care of it for the week.<br />

Campers also will have<br />

riding lessons and go on<br />

trail rides daily.<br />

The farm also has other<br />

types of horse-related activities<br />

throughout the<br />

week.<br />

Fall is upon us and hayride<br />

season is here, while<br />

winter is fast approaching.<br />

And the coming of snow<br />

brings sleigh rides.<br />

Gift certificates are<br />

available for any of the<br />

above and make great<br />

Heaven & Earth’ to play<br />

in March, April<br />

There was a time when<br />

the world was full of magic<br />

and splendor, and all on<br />

Earth existed in harmony<br />

with Heaven. One could<br />

see it in the arts, feel it in<br />

the air, and hear it in the<br />

beat of a drum.<br />

This was a land of heroes<br />

and sages, dragons<br />

and phoenixes, emperors<br />

and immortals. Known<br />

today as China, this place<br />

was once called “the Land<br />

of the Divine.”<br />

What if one could journey<br />

back and visit this lost<br />

paradise?<br />

Shen Yun brings the<br />

profound spirit of this<br />

lost civilization to life on<br />

stage with unrivaled artistic<br />

mastery. Every dance<br />

movement, every musical<br />

note, makes this a stunning<br />

visual and emotional experience<br />

people will not find<br />

anywhere else. Banned in<br />

communist China today,<br />

the nonprofit Shen Yun<br />

is dedicated to reviving<br />

5,000 years of civilization.<br />

Audiences can experience<br />

art connecting Heaven<br />

and Earth! They can<br />

experience Shen Yun.<br />

“An extraordinary<br />

experience! Exquisitely<br />

beautiful.”<br />

—Cate Blanchett, Academy<br />

Award–winning actress<br />

“Absolutely beautifu<br />

l... one big poetic event,<br />

so inspiring; I think I<br />

may have found some<br />

new ideas for the next<br />

Avatar.”<br />

—Robert Stromberg,<br />

Academy-Award winning<br />

production designer for<br />

“Avatar”<br />

“I’ve reviewed over<br />

4,000 shows. None can<br />

compare to what I saw<br />

tonight. Go back and see<br />

it about six times.”<br />

—Richard Connema, renowned<br />

Broadway critic<br />

“Absolutely the No. 1<br />

show in the world, absolutely<br />

the best—no other<br />

company or of any style<br />

can match this.”<br />

—Kenn Wells, former<br />

Mickey’s in Tinley<br />

Park offers more<br />

than just ribs<br />

Those who have not been<br />

to Mickey’s Ribs & Gyros on<br />

Oak Park Avenue in Tinley Park<br />

should give their taste buds a<br />

treat.<br />

Mickey’s provides a superior<br />

dining experience, with delicious<br />

food that is made to order<br />

and delightful service.<br />

Mickey’s is best known for its<br />

tender ribs and tasty gyros, with<br />

fresh sauce that is made daily<br />

from scratch. But if that is not<br />

what a customer has a taste for,<br />

that is not a problem. Diners always<br />

can find delicious options<br />

on Mickey’s menu — whether<br />

burgers, hot dogs, grilled chicken<br />

on pitas, beef sandwiches,<br />

or salads and a variety of sides.<br />

Customers will not leave hungry,<br />

but they should make sure they<br />

leave room for dessert — tasty,<br />

creamy milkshakes, ice cream<br />

and a selection of cakes to satisfy<br />

their taste buds.<br />

With 32 years in business this<br />

year, Mickey’s prides itself in<br />

providing great service and quality<br />

food. Mickey’s is devoted to<br />

its customers and the community,<br />

and has many regular customers<br />

who the restaurant’s staff has gotten<br />

to know through the years.<br />

Catering orders are available<br />

for any occasion.<br />

Everyone is accepted at Stone Church<br />

At Stone Church, they are all<br />

about people. It is where something<br />

real is going on. They are<br />

all about people, because God<br />

is all about people. One of the<br />

ways we express love for Him is<br />

through love for people and one<br />

another.<br />

Stone Church does that by<br />

helping each person who comes<br />

to grow in their relationships<br />

with the Lord Jesus Christ.<br />

It begins with a vision that can<br />

be surmised in one word: Every<br />

single person is accepted. Stone<br />

Church is where heaven meets<br />

earth.<br />

Stone Church is so much more<br />

than a service on the weekend.<br />

It is about connecting with other<br />

people, growing in faith and<br />

building a strong foundation for<br />

family. It is having a spiritual<br />

family.<br />

In a church family, it is easy to<br />

just be a face in the crowd. Because<br />

of that, Stone Church focuses<br />

on small groups, or Stone Life<br />

Groups. The church has group<br />

leaders and members who are<br />

waiting to get to know those who<br />

attend.<br />

Its mission is to help each person<br />

at Stone be who God created<br />

them to be: a believer in Jesus,<br />

a family member, a follower and<br />

builder of God’s kingdom.<br />

We want every person to have<br />

an opportunity to experience<br />

what God has for them, whether<br />

it is through serving or getting<br />

plugged into one of the ministries.<br />

Sunday Services are at 9 a.m.<br />

and 11 a.m. Wednesday Family<br />

Ministries take place at 7 p.m.<br />

Examining the effects of<br />

age-related hearing loss<br />

South Suburban Hearing<br />

Health Center specializes<br />

in age-related hearing loss.<br />

This is the loss of hearing<br />

that gradually occurs<br />

in most of us as we grow<br />

older. It is one of the most<br />

common conditions affecting<br />

older and elderly adults.<br />

Approximately 1-in-<br />

3 people in the United<br />

States between the ages<br />

of 65 and 74 has hearing<br />

loss, and nearly half of<br />

those older than 75 have<br />

difficulty hearing. Having<br />

trouble hearing can make<br />

it hard to understand and<br />

follow a doctor’s advice;<br />

respond to warnings; and<br />

hear phones, doorbells and<br />

smoke alarms. Hearing<br />

loss also can make it hard<br />

to enjoy talking with family<br />

and friends, leading to<br />

feelings of isolation.<br />

Jonathan Wright, a specialist<br />

at South Suburban<br />

Hearing, said that agerelated<br />

hearing loss most<br />

often occurs in both ears,<br />

affecting them equally. Because<br />

the loss is gradual, if<br />

people have age-related<br />

hearing loss, they may not<br />

realize that they lost some<br />

of the ability to hear.<br />

But research has linked<br />

untreated hearing loss to<br />

significant issues that affect<br />

peoples’ lives in many<br />

ways.<br />

Dementia and hearing loss<br />

Seniors with hearing<br />

loss are significantly more<br />

likely to develop dementia<br />

over time than those who<br />

retain their hearing.<br />

• Mild hearing loss — 2<br />

times more likely to develop<br />

dementia<br />

• Moderate hearing loss —<br />

3 times more likely to<br />

develop dementia<br />

• Severe hearing loss — 5<br />

times more likely to develop<br />

dementia<br />

Mental health and hearing<br />

loss<br />

Hearing loss results in<br />

social isolation. Adults<br />

with untreated hearing loss<br />

tend to withdrawal from<br />

engaging with family &<br />

friends.<br />

Adults 50 and older with<br />

untreated hearing loss are<br />

more likely report depression,<br />

anxiety, anger and<br />

frustration, emotional instability<br />

and paranoia, and<br />

are less likely to participate<br />

in social activities than<br />

those who wear hearing<br />

aids.<br />

Can one prevent agerelated<br />

hearing loss?<br />

At this time, scientists<br />

do not know how to prevent<br />

age-related hearing<br />

loss. But people can<br />

protect themselves from<br />

noise-induced hearing loss<br />

by protecting their ears<br />

with ear plugs or ear muffs<br />

from sounds that are too<br />

loud and last too long.<br />

How can people tell if they<br />

have hearing problems?<br />

People should ask themselves<br />

the following questions.<br />

If they answer “yes”<br />

to three or more of these<br />

questions, they could have<br />

a hearing problem and may<br />

need to have their hearing<br />

checked.<br />

• Do you sometimes feel<br />

embarrassed when you<br />

meet new people because<br />

you struggle to<br />

hear?<br />

• Do you feel frustrated<br />

when talking to members<br />

of your family because<br />

you have difficulty<br />

hearing them?<br />

• Do you have difficulty<br />

hearing or understanding<br />

co-workers, clients<br />

or customers?<br />

• Do you have trouble<br />

hearing in the movies or<br />

in the theater?<br />

• Does a hearing problem<br />

cause you to argue with<br />

family members?<br />

• Do you have trouble<br />

hearing the TV or radio<br />

at levels that are loud<br />

enough for others?<br />

What should people do if<br />

they have trouble hearing?<br />

Hearing problems can be<br />

serious. The most important<br />

thing people can do if<br />

they think they have a hearing<br />

problem is seek advice<br />

from a health care provider.<br />

If someone suspect they<br />

or a loved one is experiencing<br />

a hearing loss, they<br />

should not hesitate to get a<br />

hearing test.<br />

From Page 33<br />

few things, such as the<br />

smoked salmon and our<br />

now grilled options.”<br />

Just Shrimp’s newest<br />

menu items are the grilled<br />

shrimp skewer and fresh<br />

grilled salmon. Both items<br />

are served with vegetables<br />

and a baked potato, as opposed<br />

to the traditional<br />

sides of fries and coleslaw.<br />

Just Shrimp’s menu includes<br />

jumbo wild-caught<br />

shrimp, different fish dinners<br />

such as fish ’n’ chips,<br />

lake perch, catfish and tilapia,<br />

as well as a variety<br />

of fish sandwiches and po’<br />

boys. The are an array of<br />

different side choices, as<br />

well as their daily lobster<br />

bisque soup.<br />

It has been approximately<br />

three years since Mihalos<br />

convinced her family<br />

to turn the once-named<br />

Chicken Wild restaurant<br />

into Just Shrimp.<br />

“By experimenting a<br />

little first, we added different<br />

fried shrimp and<br />

fish items to our previous<br />

restaurant,” Mihalos said.<br />

“Due to the high demand,<br />

I was able to see that this<br />

concept might just work,<br />

since there is nothing like<br />

us nearby. It was then, together<br />

with my dad, that<br />

we decided to switch the<br />

whole concept to Just<br />

Shrimp.”<br />

Seeing as Mihalos is<br />

a fourth generation restaurateur,<br />

growing up<br />

and around the restaurant<br />

industry has helped her<br />

greatly along the way.<br />

Mihalos states, “Although<br />

there are many<br />

challenges I face being a<br />

young, female restaurateur,<br />

having my dad by my<br />

side along the way does<br />

help tremendously.”<br />

In addition to their newly<br />

grilled menu items, Just<br />

Shrimp also is offering<br />

a soft-shell crab po’ boy,<br />

while still in season. This<br />

seasonal item is loved by<br />

customers, and is only offered<br />

hassle of having to get a new pair and<br />

spend the uncomfortable time breaking<br />

them in.<br />

Ramon’s attention to detail means a<br />

customer’s custom motorcycle bag will<br />

be the finest a customer has ever owned<br />

and will get them noticed on the road.<br />

Seat coverings can be altered to fit the<br />

individual, so no more struggling with<br />

factory stock seats that can be uncomfortable<br />

or even dangerous to ride on. Ramon<br />

can add fringe to any leather motorcycle<br />

accessories, including custom hand grip<br />

fringe, floorboard fringe and bag fringe.<br />

Heritage Softail bags can sag over time,<br />

but Ramon can keep those bags looking<br />

new with his custom-made leather<br />

supports. If a customer has patches but<br />

doesn’t trust themselves to apply them,<br />

Ramon can apply them for the customer<br />

to their cut, leather or denim jackets or<br />

their bike’s bags.<br />

Ramon has been working with leather<br />

since his father started teaching him when<br />

he was just 5 years old. Since then, Ramon<br />

has been honing his craft, so there is<br />

not any job too big or too small for him to<br />

handle with the expertise and care needed<br />

when making alterations or repairs to a<br />

customer’s most prized possessions.<br />

When customers work with Ramon,<br />

they are going to come away with exactly<br />

the work they want done at a fair and honest<br />

price. This holiday season, residents<br />

should come see why Ramon is the only<br />

name a customer needs to know for all<br />

their motorcycle leatherwork and shoe<br />

repair needs.<br />
