Last week, a call went out to Orland Park residents denouncing Moraine Valley board candidate John Schiera for arrests, as well as Brad O’Halloran for endorsing him. Schiera said the call was “unfair” and all charges against him were dropped.
A campaign robo call went out last week detailing the arrest record of Palos Park-based architect John Schiera, who is running for the Moraine Valley Community College Board of Trustees in April, and also targeted Orland Park trustee Brad O’Halloran for endorsing him. The call featured a woman talking who described four misdemeanor arrests, two of which were domestic battery charges, against Schiera. Though according to the Chicago Tribune, all four were dropped when witnesses didn’t show for court hearings. People who received the call said it ends with “paid for by,” but is cut off before a name is said. “The bottom line is you can charge anyone with anything,” Schiera said in response to the robo call. “In each one of those cases, when …

My Bike shop closes in Tinley. • Dickey's Barbecue closes in Orland. • Bank has discount coupons for Chicago Auto Show.
Pete’s Fresh Market may have abandoned plans to move into the former Dominick’s on LaGrange Road, in favor of building a new store at 143rd Street and LaGrange Road at the former Terry’s Lincoln site. But the grocery store chain based on Chicago’s southwest side has found a new tenant for the former supermarket at 15080 S. LaGrange Road in Orland Park. Michigan-based Art Van Furniture has signed a 10-year lease to convert the former food store into a 46,000-square-foot store at the Orland Greens Shopping Center. The project has an estimated cost of $2 million. Dominick’s closed in November 2011. Art Van has plans for more stores for the Chicago-area. “This is part of a planned expansion,” said Diane K.
