Nestled just beyond the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre in Tinley Park lies the only nonprofit, public golf course explicitly dedicated to U.S. veterans and active service members in the country. The Odyssey Golf Foundation was created in 2013 by the Halikias family with a mission to serve veterans, active military personnel, and children and adults with special needs.

It’s brother against brother. No, it’s not at the level of the Civil War, but for Tinley Park natives Ryan and Jake Arthur it will at least be for bragging rights. The Lincoln-Way Community High School District 210 graduates, both of whom are on college football rosters, will see their teams play one another at 6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 20 when Illinois Wesleyan visits Washington University in St. Louis.

According to historical records, the school had 59 students enrolled its first year, with the graduating class of 1919 featuring only six members, along with eight others who received certificates from the commercial class. Now, Providence’s current enrollment is more than 900, and graduating classes average at 240.

Students from TPHS visited Atlas Putty Products located at 8351 185th Street to meet with owner/CEO Dave Payton who runs the business with his brother and sister.

To the Tinley Park resident, Abraham Lincoln may have once been president, but he was also just like anybody else with strengths and weaknesses, experiencing good days and bad days. It was Lincoln’s resiliency that has inspired Joe Cernak in and out of the classroom.
