Pintsak's family will also participate in the Western Suburban Light The Night walk later in October.
• Someone Sneaks Into Elmhurst House, Steals Wallet: Cops (patch.com) — Elmhurst police recently responded to a string of incidents, including a burglary where someone entered a South Hawthorne Avenue home through an unlocked door and stole a wallet and cash.
