Lincolnway, IL February 2026

Your Skin Has a Story. Let’s Explore It.

Loving Where You Live

Hello Lincolnway,

This month we start our edition by announcing our newest Partner,  Next Chapter Local - Senior Living Consultants, of Frankfort.  We're also excited to add to our staff a new Contributing Photographer, Chris Moran of Chris Moran Photography, in New Lenox. We love his work and are so happy he's joined us.

As February rolls around, I find myself in a tug of war with love. I've always told my kids that they didn't need a special holiday to tell someone they're loved. If you love someone, you should tell them everyday!  But I can’t help savor the sweet moments Valentine's Day brings—an excuse to celebrate love in all its forms...ok, especially chocolate.

What about you? Do you opt for a Valentine’s Day date out or settle in for a cozy night at home? A handwritten card or a heartfelt kind word? Flowers? (yes, please) Each of us will find our own ways to mark the occasion, shaped by our unique preferences and personalities. But what unites us all is the opportunity to remind those around us just how much they mean to us.

This month’s issue, "Love Local"  is dedicated to helping you do just that—celebrating and highlighting the best of what’s to love in our area. LOVE LINCOLNWAY!

Love Local isn’t just about supporting these businesses in our area-it’s about cherishing what’s near to you in every sense. As we navigate the lingering chill of winter and the promise of spring’s arrival, let’s take a moment to come together with the people who matter most. Whether they’re in your home, down the street, or across the community, February is a wonderful time to connect.

Thank you for allowing us to be part of your Lincolnway life. Our greatest hope is that this issue helps you love it just a little more than before. Here’s to a February filled with love!

All the best,

Growing Local Leaders

at the University of St. Francis

The University of St. Francis has long been a cornerstone of higher education in Joliet, and under President Dr. Ryan C. Hendrickson, its Franciscan mission feels more connected to the community than ever.

Dr. Hendrickson’s journey to USF was shaped by a deep Catholic formation, from studying under Benedictine monks in his Nebraska high school to the Jesuit influence of his years at Marquette University. Those traditions of reflection, service, and discernment align naturally with USF’s Franciscan values of respect, integrity, service, and compassion.

“Those values aren’t just words here,” Dr. Hendrickson says. “They’re lived every day on and off campus.”

That sense of mission is visible throughout the university’s Joliet campus, located in the historic Cathedral Area. With its peaceful quad, prominent images of St. Francis and St. Clare, and a culture rooted in care and belonging, USF offers an environment students frequently cite as a deciding factor in choosing the university.

Strong community partnerships are central to the USF experience. Collaborations

with local schools and hospitals provide hands-on opportunities through student teaching, clinical rotations, and service-based learning. Partnerships with local Dioceses also create accessible pathways for students from Catholic high schools to pursue higher education close to home.

USF’s student body reflects the diversity of the surrounding community, with approximately 36% identifying as Hispanic and more than half being first-generation college students. The university’s involvement in Joliet’s Mexican Independence Day Parade underscored its commitment to cultural connection and civic pride.

One of USF’s most meaningful traditions is the Caritas Scholarship Celebration, which raises critical scholarship funds while strengthening ties with local partners.

Looking ahead, Dr. Hendrickson envisions expanded academic offerings, continued enrollment growth, and a deeper commitment to service, ensuring graduates leave prepared to lead with purpose and give back to the community they call home.

LOVING Local

with Murray & Regan Law

For Murray & Regan Law, community isn’t just a concept—it’s a philosophy that guides every aspect of their work. With deep roots in the Lincolnway area, the firm aims to be more than a legal resource; it strives to strengthen the neighborhoods, schools, and businesses that define the region. “Community is more than just the people you see around or the local businesses; it is a feeling and a shared sense of purpose,” says Dan Regan of Murray & Regan Law.

This commitment is reflected in the firm’s daily operations. While Murray & Regan has offices nationwide, including Cleveland and Seattle, Regan emphasizes that the firm remains locally focused. “We try to be involved at the local level in each location we open an office, not just being present but also making a difference,” he explains. In Frankfort and across the Lincolnway area, that difference is tangible. The firm works with schools, nonprofits, and local organizations to provide guidance, resources, and support to residents and businesses alike, often tailoring programs to meet unique community needs.

The firm’s engagement goes beyond legal services. Team members actively participate in initiatives like Feed My Starving Children, local co-op programs for homeschooled youth, and community outreach events, always looking for ways to provide a hand up rather than just a handout. “We strive to be present in all that we do and to give back in ways that are not always law-related,” Dan notes.

Murray & Regan also sponsors local events and programs, from community art projects to resource fairs, and explores

mentorship and internship opportunities through the LincolnWay school district. “We are very locally focused and therefore are always open to new ways in which we can give back and impact those around us,” Regan says. By combining sponsorships, volunteering, and active participation in community initiatives, the firm reinforces its ties to the region and cultivates lasting relationships with residents.

Being deeply rooted in Lincolnway gives Murray & Regan a unique perspective when serving clients. Long-standing relationships, local knowledge, and a firsthand understanding of the community’s needs help the firm offer personalized legal solutions that larger, more distant firms might miss. “Locally rooted allows us to know the individuals and businesses within our community, as well as the issues that are unique to the Lincolnway area,” Dan explains.

For residents, choosing a local firm has meaning beyond convenience. “When individuals and local businesses choose local over larger firms, it reinforces the community feel and allows us to be more present in the way we interact,” he says. Balancing professional expertise with approachability, Murray & Regan has earned the trust of its neighbors while demonstrating that law, when practiced with a sense of civic responsibility, can be a powerful tool for strengthening a community, creating a firm that truly feels like part of the Lincolnway family.

Murray & Regan Law believes that giving back is a responsibility, not an afterthought. The firm’s support extends beyond legal

counsel, emphasizing the importance of contributing to the community in meaningful ways. Over the years, they’ve helped local charities and nonprofits navigate complex legal structures, ensuring these organizations can thrive and expand their impact. One recent example involved assisting a charity in converting from a forprofit to a nonprofit organization, allowing them to provide greater benefits to high school students and participants while enabling donors to receive tax write-offs.

Dan sees these efforts as part of a larger mission to strengthen Lincolnway as a whole. “We work to support local no matter where the office is located,” he says. Sponsorships, volunteerism, and mentorship opportunities are all ways the firm invests in people and programs that make a difference. From community art projects to educational initiatives, Murray & Regan consistently looks for opportunities to connect with residents outside the courtroom.

The firm also prioritizes partnerships that foster knowledge and opportunity. By engaging with schools, local chambers of commerce, and community organizations, they provide resources and guidance while reinforcing a culture of support and collaboration. Programs like these help bridge gaps, strengthen community networks, and ensure residents and businesses alike have the tools they need to succeed.

For Dan, community involvement isn’t just good citizenship—it’s part of the firm’s identity. “We love being in the Lincolnway community and cannot think of a better avenue for our firm to grow and be present in all that we do,” he says. Looking ahead, Murray & Regan plans to deepen these connections, expand sponsorships, and continue to explore new ways to make a positive impact.

Ultimately, the firm demonstrates that legal expertise and civic responsibility can go hand in hand. By combining professional excellence with genuine community investment, Murray & Regan Law ensures that both their clients and their neighbors thrive, reinforcing the values that make Lincolnway a strong, connected, and supportive place to live.

When individuals and local businesses choose local over larger firms, it reinforces the community feel and allows us to be more present in the way we interact.

At its core, Murray & Regan Law demonstrates that a firm’s influence extends far beyond legal expertise. Their commitment to the Lincolnway community is evident not only in the cases they handle but also in the relationships they cultivate, the programs they support, and the opportunities they create for residents, students, and local organizations. From sponsoring events and assisting nonprofits to exploring mentorship programs and volunteering for community initiatives, the firm consistently finds ways to give back and invest in the people around them.

For Dan Regan and the Murray & Regan team, being locally rooted is both a philosophy and a promise. “When we give back, sponsor programs, or simply show up for events, we’re investing in people and building connections that strengthen our entire community,” he says. By combining professional expertise with genuine civic engagement, Murray & Regan continues to reinforce the bonds that make Lincolnway a connected, supportive, and thriving place to live, work, and grow—proving that a law firm can be both a trusted legal resource and a dedicated community partner.

STORIES IN SONG

CUSTOM MUSIC, LOCAL SOUND

ARTICLE BY NICOLE SWANBERG WRIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY BY CHRIS MORAN

For Tim Canino, music became a bridge between emotion and expression - especially when words felt hard to say out loud. What began as a personal solution to a public fear soon became a powerful way to connect people through their most meaningful moments.

Tim, the founder of Songs From the Heart, never set out to start a business. A lifelong songwriter, he had always used music as a creative outlet, writing songs as a hobby since his teenage years. That passion took on new meaning when his two daughters were preparing to get married. Facing a fear of

speaking in front of a crowd, Tim decided to express his love the only way that felt natural to him: through song. He wrote custom father-daughter dance songs for each wedding, weaving memories, gratitude, and pride into the lyrics.

After the first song was performed, the room was filled with tears. “There wasn’t a dry eye in the house,” Tim recalls. In that moment, he realized the powerful impact personal music could have — and Songs From the Heart was born.

Today, Tim specializes in custom songwriting for weddings, anniversaries, memorials, birthdays, and other meaningful milestones. His goal is simple: to capture a person’s story and turn it into a song that will be treasured forever. Each project begins with an in-depth interview, typically held over video chat. Together, Tim and the client discuss the purpose of the song, musical style, and emotional tone. From there, he dives into detailed questions designed to uncover the heart of the story.

Once the interviews are complete, Tim crafts both the melody and the lyrics, carefully shaping each line to reflect the individual or moment being honored. When a draft is ready, he brings the song into the studio, collaborating with local musicians to record the track. The process is intentionally collaborative, often requiring several revisions based on client feedback before the final version is delivered.

Supporting the local music community is central to Tim’s mission. He records at Axes Music in Mokena and works exclusively with local musicians, providing both exposure and financial support. “Musicians often fall into the

‘starving artist’ category,” Tim says. “Anything I can do to support their passion is a win.”

Some of the most meaningful songs Tim has written come from deeply personal experiences. After losing his brother, he wrote a memorial song that helped him navigate grief and healing. That experience reinforced his belief in music’s ability to say what words alone cannot.

Tim also stays connected to the local music scene through live performances and open mic nights, where he finds inspiration in audience reactions and discovers new talent. He encourages first-time performers to step up and share their work. “If you didn’t go, you’d never know how much talent is out there,” he says.

Looking ahead, Tim is exploring opportunities to perform custom songs live at events, offering another way for stories to be shared and felt in real time. For him, Songs From the Heart is about more than music — it’s about connection, community, and honoring life’s most meaningful moments through sound.

Open Mic Round-Up

ARTICLE BY NICOLE SWANBERG WRIGHT

For musicians, singers, poets, and anyone who loves live performances, the Lincolnway area offers a lively open mic scene perfect for sharing talent or enjoying a night of local creativity. On Tuesdays, Social 45 in Frankfort welcomes performers to share songs, stories, or spoken word, while New Lenox’s Hickory Creek Brewing Company offers a cozy, intimate weekly open mic.

Every other Wednesday, Trail’s Edge in Frankfort gives local artists a chance to shine in a supportive midweek setting. In Mokena, Little Al’s hosts open mics on varying days, so it’s worth checking their schedule for surprise performances. Every other Thursday, Comise’s Sports Bar in New Lenox draws a lively crowd eager to hear music, comedy, and more.

Open mics create a space to breathe, release, and feel understood without explanation. Music calms, lifts spirits, and fosters connection in shared moments. Experienced live, it becomes communal and grounding. Small venues transform into places of expression, belonging, and creative release. These events keep local culture alive, inviting communities to gather, support one another, and celebrate the power of art in everyday life.

Tim Canino of Songs from the Heart, a seasoned performer, shares his top Lincolnway area open mics.

With years of experience curating music and connecting performers with audiences, Tim knows where talent shines and the vibe is just right. Take his word for it! These spots are worth checking out, on stage or in the crowd.

DISCOVER HOW LOCAL LIBRARIES CONNECT, INSPIRE, AND SUPPORT THE LINCOLNWAY COMMUNITY

LOCAL LIBRARIES, LASTING IMPACT

Libraries across the Lincolnway area have quietly evolved into something far greater than many residents remember. While books remain central, today’s libraries serve as creative studios, learning hubs, community gathering spaces, and gateways to opportunity. In Frankfort, Manhattan, Mokena, and New Lenox, local libraries reflect the unique needs of their communities while sharing a common purpose: connecting people to information, resources, and one another.

At the Frankfort Public Library District, that connection often spans generations. Families who once attended storytime as children now return with their own kids, while newcomers discover the library for the first time. Director Amanda Kowalcze sees this mix as a sign of the library’s reach and relevance. “We have patrons who have grown up coming to the Library who are now attending our youth programs with their

own children,” she says. Alongside that continuity is impressive access. As part of a consortium of 101 libraries, Frankfort cardholders can explore millions of items, from physical materials to a digital collection that circulates at a remarkably high rate for a library its size.

Frankfort’s approach extends beyond its walls. Outreach programs take library services to parks, schools, and assisted living facilities, reinforcing the idea that the library belongs to the entire community. Amanda emphasizes that while formats and tools may change, the mission remains steady. “The role of libraries has always been to connect people to resources, to connect people to information, and to connect people to people,” she says.

That idea of connection as a cornerstone is echoed in Manhattan and Elwood, where the Manhattan-Elwood Public Library serves as a welcoming space for residents of all ages. Executive Director Marcy Juarez describes the library as “a welcoming place for

people to meet, play, learn, and stay informed.” From toddler playrooms and storytimes to Nintendo Switch tournaments, crafts, and weekly senior meetups, the library functions as a social and educational hub.

For many patrons, the library plays a particularly meaningful role during times of transition. Residents who are new to the area or entering a new stage of life often find both resources and community there. Juarez points out that libraries remain one of the few spaces where people can gather freely. “Communities need spaces where everyone is welcome and you can be there for free,” she says. That openness extends to preserving the past as well. Through a partnership with the Manhattan Historical Society and the University of Illinois, the library digitized editions of the Manhattan American newspaper dating back to 1919, ensuring local history remains accessible for future generations.

In Mokena, the public library continues to strengthen its role as a cultural and educational anchor. Director Cathy Palmer describes it as “the literary, technology, and cultural hub of the community,” designed to support learning, creativity, and connection at every stage of life. Beyond books, patrons can access digital learning platforms, advanced technology like 3D printers and laser cutters, and an extensive Library of Things that includes tools, instruments, cameras, and even telescopes.

The library’s impact is sometimes quiet but deeply felt. A Little Free Pantry located outside the building provides food and toiletries around the clock, offering dignity and support to those experiencing difficult moments. Palmer notes that many residents are surprised by just how much value is packed into a single

library card. “Once people discover what’s available, they’re often amazed by how much value their library card provides,” she says. Looking ahead, Cathy sees libraries continuing to serve as what she calls the “third place,” a gathering space where education, technology, and human connection intersect.

That blend of innovation and belonging is especially visible at the New Lenox Public Library, where creativity and responsiveness guide nearly every decision. Executive Director Michelle Krooswyk describes the library as “a welcoming, energetic hub where people of all ages feel a sense of belonging.” The library’s Studio space has become a standout feature, offering hands-on tools such as 3D printing, laser cutting, sewing, and audio recording equipment. During the recent holiday season, demand was so high that staff had to limit daily 3D print requests to ensure equitable access. “People are always surprised by the wide range of hands-on, creative opportunities available,” Michelle says.

Community feedback plays a central role in how New Lenox evolves. Through surveys and focus groups, residents helped shape the library’s new strategic plan, which centers on

Community, Connection, and Convenience. Expanded evening and weekend programming, flexible meeting spaces, improved digital access, and easier navigation both in the building and online reflect the realities of busy households and working professionals. Michelle notes that collaboration is key. “We all know that we are stronger and smarter if we work together, not against each other,” she says, pointing to partnerships with schools, the Park District, preschools, and local organizations.

While services and spaces vary across communities, a shared thread runs through all four libraries. They support early literacy and lifelong learning, preserve local stories, and quietly close the digital divide by offering technology access and guidance. They strengthen local economies by helping residents build skills, search for jobs, and explore new ideas. Perhaps most importantly, they remain open, welcoming places where everyone belongs.

Across Lincolnway, libraries continue to invest in people without asking anything in return. Whether through a child’s first library card, a creative project brought to life, or a simple moment of connection, these spaces remind us why loving your library means loving your community.

DIY VALENTINES

Simple Projects to Celebrate at Home

The first Valentines were handmade in the 18th century, long before printing presses and mass-produced options. Today, handmade signifies the ultimate in personal mots d’amour.  Enjoy these sweet projects as a couple, a family, or with friends.

1. Arts

Create heart ornaments to hang on a Valentine’s Day tree. The ornaments can be used as clue cards for a Valentine's Day scavenger hunt. Participants find their picture on the tree and hunt for a hidden treasure.

2.Sweets

A home-based holiday is made complete with a dessert table. Whether made from scratch or store bought, a collection of decorated confections is as beautiful as the treats are delectable to eat.

3.Sentiments

Poetry is a most personal way to express your heart. No need to be intimidated by haiku, a short form of Japanese poetry. While there are several variations of the form, a traditional place to begin is with a seasonal word that divides 17 syllables into three lines of five/ seven/five. Simple and sweet.

KIWI + Coral

Clean Skincare, Created by Moms Who Get It

ARTICLE BY NICOLE SWANBERG WRIGHT

PHOTOGRAPHY BY CHRIS MORAN

Kiwi + Coral was born from a familiar parenting dilemma: trendy skincare that isn’t made for young, sensitive skin. For longtime friends Sandi Braun and Carrie Diemer, it was one Sephora trip too many that sparked an idea and eventually a brand.

The two met more than 20 years ago while working at the same salon and reconnected two years ago when their daughters, Kaitlyn and Olivia Diemer and Marilyn Mundt, began attending the same school. During a visit, Carrie shared a story about confiscating expensive, ingredient-heavy skincare her daughters brought home. Sandi had done the same with her own daughter. “We need to do something about this,” Carrie said, and Kiwi + Coral was born.

With no roadmap but a shared vision, they focused on safe, effective, eco-friendly products. Carrie’s background in public health with a focus on pediatrics guided their work, leading them to a lab with a chemist and a toxicologist. Every ingredient was cruelty-free, vegan, plant-based, and ethically sourced, with no hormone disruptors, parabens, sulfates, or other unwanted additives.

After extensive testing and family feedback, Kiwi + Coral launched the Glow Trio: Kiwi Splash Cleanser, Sunbeam Serum, and Glow Whip Moisturizer. Glow Whip quickly became a favorite for its lightweight yet deeply hydrating formula, suitable for all ages and skin types.

Sandi and Carrie credit their local community for embracing the brand. Clean skincare created by moms and approved by teens, Kiwi + Coral proves thoughtful products can deliver real results.
