Downers Grove

Area brothers make alcohol delivery fast, easy Service currently covers Chicago’s North Side, could soon include western suburbs Alex and Will Cullen come from a family of entrepreneurs. Their mother, Marta, opened Dream Interiors in Downers Grove when the brothers were 4 and 6 years old, respectively. Six years later, their father, Phil, opened Ballydoyle Irish Pub in Downers Grove and, eventually, a second location in Aurora. “We grew up in that household, and we were pulled into those businesses either voluntarily or involuntarily,” said Alex Cullen. “When I look back on that, it was really an invaluable experience.” The two brothers are now

using that experience to bring alcohol delivery to the masses with a new smartphone app DrinkFly, which launched April 1. Alcohol delivery is not a new idea, but many retailers have not offered the service to consumers making small purchases. “We’re not changing anything,” said Cullen, adding that many people who have seen the DrinkFly app said they were not aware liquor stores delivered alcohol of any amount. “We’re just making it much easier for consumers to order alcohol and have it delivered to their door.” They’re also bringing what has been a piecemeal practice into the 21st Century with an online tool that works much like the food delivery service GrubHub. DrinkFly users can download the app for free on iTunes and Google

DrinkFly users can download the app for free on iTunes and Google Play, or visit its corresponding website, DrinkFly.com.

Play, or visit its corresponding website, DrinkFly.com. Users enter their address, select a store that delivers to their location, choose their favorite beverages and complete the order. Users must be at least 21 years old and present a valid ID card. Minimum purchases vary by store but range between $20 and $30.The service also charges a delivery fee of $4 to $6. “People will definitely pay for the convenience of not having to leave their house, not having to drive, not having to brave the weather,” Cullen said. DrinkFly is currently partnered with five locations on Chicago’s

north side and in the South Loop, but the Cullen brothers are hoping to expand DrinkFly’s coverage area to include the western suburbs and, eventually, cites outside of Illinois. “We’re really looking to grow this thing, be a national brand and bring the alcohol delivery love to the U.S. of A,” Cullen said. To bring this service to the larger suburban market, the brothers will have to find significantly more partner stores. DrinkFly currently does not charge stores to be listed on the app, but Cullen said stores may eventually be charged a monthly fee or a percentage of sales made

through the app. However, the brothers think advertisements, such as click-to-purchase banner ads, present the biggest revenue opportunities. “If we have traffic flowing through our app, the ability to influence a consumer’s decision and drive sales like that is worth a lot of money,” Cullen said. DrinkFly is currently partnered with Burnham Liquors in the South Loop, The Noble Grape in Ukraine Village, Galleria Liquors in Old Town and Lakeview, and Milk & More in Lake View. Those stores currently deliver between the hours of 11 a.m. and midnight.

Gallery 777 opens at Lisle Library this Friday Opening exhibit, entitled ‘Thunder Over Lightning’ Gallery 777, located on the lower level of the Lisle Library, will announce its inaugural exhibit during art opening from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday. The opening exhibit, entitled “Thunder Over Lightning,” will feature the works of three local artists - Karen Karlowski, Patrick McDonnell and Jean Paulis. While all three artists have

different points of view, they are tied together by their use of color to create shapes and environments without repetitive forms, or identifiable marks. These one of a kind images are both energetic and gestural. Jean Paulis, who lives in Lisle, was thrilled for the opportunity to be one of the first artists to show at Gallery 777. “I’m always amazed at how busy the Lisle Library is,” said Paulis. “This is a way for us to keep that love of libraries alive.

online resource: “Thunder Over Lightning” will be on display in Gallery 777 through June and July. For more information about Gallery 777, call 630-971-1675 or visit lislelibrary.org.

To give people a reason to go to the library, other than the obvious.” Paulis also is excited for the chance to bring what she calls “a different type of art” to the community. “We’re not predictable, we’re not realistic. Our work is very modern,” she said. “This is a

chance for the community to see a different technique, and to hopefully get people talking about art.” Gallery 777 was created with the hope of increasing the conversation about local art. Tatiana Weinstein, director of adult services, felt the library was the ideal place to create a venue in Lisle where local artists could publicly display their paintings or other 2-D works. “One of our missions is to enhance your library

experience through art and culture,”Weinstein said.“Gallery 777 serves as an avenue for the respectful presentation of artistic and imaginative talents within our diverse community. In my opinion, having local art in the hub of the community’s information center is just a natural fit.” “Thunder Over Lightning” will be on display in Gallery 777 through June and July.

The allegations against Dr. McMenamin are very serious and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.” The Downers Grove Police Department received information earlier this year from the National Center for Missing and Exploited

Children regarding the possible dissemination and possession of child pornography in Downers Grove. An investigation led by the Downers Grove Police Department, with assistance from the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office and the Department of Homeland Security, led authorities to McMenamin, the press release states. The Downers Grove doctor was allegedly in possession of numerous of images and videos of child pornography. A $500,000 arrest warrant was issued Thursday for McMenamin by Judge Jeffrey MacKay. Downers Grove police took McMenamin into custody at approximately 5:30 p.m. the same day outside his home without incident

News “I would like to acknowledge the diligence and professionalism of the Department of Homeland Security, the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office and members of the Downers Grove Police Department in their handling of this difficult and disturbing case,” Porter said. “We will continue to hold those accountable who choose to exploit the most vulnerable members of our society, our children.” McMenamin’s next court appearance is scheduled for July 7 in front of Judge Blanche Hill Fawell. Additional conditions for McMenamin should he be able to post bond include no contact with children under 18 years of age and no computer or Internet access.

Passenger pigeon went extinct during early 20th Century

Events Times & Locations June 10 From Billions to None: The Passenger Pigeon’s Flight to Extinction— Film Showing 5:30 p.m. at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, 2430 N. Cannon Drive, Chicago.

By Jonathan Samples staff reporter

jsamples@buglenewspapers.com @strikechords

The passenger pigeon was once the most abundant bird in North America, constituting 25 to 40 percent of the United States’ bird population. Between three and five billion of the small, gray birds inhabited the continent at the time the first Europeans arrived, but this entire population was completely eradicated within the first decades of the 20th Century. “It took only about 40 years to deplete a population that might have been in the billions to literally zero,” said Westmont author and naturalist Joel Greenberg. “That, to me, is the iconic example of extinction.” Greenberg is the author of “A Feathered River Across the Sky: The Passenger Pigeon’s Flight to Extinction.” Published in 2014, Greenberg’s book tells the tragic story of the iconic bird, which he said was once so plentiful that flocks of passenger pigeons could darken the sky. Greenberg will discuss his book, as well as the passenger pigeon’s impact on two other American birds, the Kirtland warbler and whooping crane, June 12 at Cantigny Park’s Robert R. McCormick Museum in Wheaton. His talk, titled “Hope is the Thing With Feathers: Americans and Three Birds,” will highlight the role humans played in driving the passenger pigeon to extinction and the environmental legacy of that bird’s extinction. The Kirtland warbler and the whooping crane are two birds that have come extremely

close to extinction in the past century. Greenberg said, that although the pigeon’s extinction was tragic, it paved the way for environmental efforts to save the Kirtland warbler and the whooping crane. “These two birds continued existence is in part because of changes in attitude and laws that came about from the pigeon’s extinction,” he said. The country’s first significant environmental movement began as a direct result of the passenger pigeon becoming extinct, according to Greenberg. That movement led to one of the country’s earliest environmental laws, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, and is the predecessor to a second major environmental movement in the second half of the 20th Century. Greenberg said this later movement led to, among other things, the passage of the Endangered Species Act in 1973. “This law was the country’s pledge that we would not allow animals or plants to become extinct without at least trying [to save them],” Greenberg said, adding that the loss of the passenger pigeon provided the impetus for these new laws and this new way of thinking. Greenberg’s interest in birds dates back to his childhood, eventually culminating in an influential birding trip with his mother to New Jersey. From there, he earned a bachelor’s degree in political science from

Humboldt State University, and a juris doctorate and master of arts degree in technology and human affairs from Washington University. Greenberg has worked with the City of Chicago’s Department of Environment, the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County, and he has been a consultant to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. In 2001, Greenberg and his spouse Cindy Kerchmar moved to Westmont. Greenberg said that without his spouse, who works as a special education teacher in Bolingbrook, his writing would not be possible. “The last book I did, I dedicated it to Cindy, whose hard work enables me to pursue my nonlucrative passions,” he said. In addition to his writing, Greenberg and award-winning filmmaker David Mrazek have partnered on a documentary about the passenger pigeon, “From Billions to None: The Passenger Pigeon’s Flight to Extinction.” The premier of that documentary will be held June 10 at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, 2430 N. Cannon Drive, Chicago.A reception will be held at 5:30 p.m. and a free showing will take place at 7 p.m.

Benet’s Hubona wins state title in discus By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

CHARLESTON Benet Academy senior Stephen Hubona wanted to have as easy of a day as possible Saturday at the IHSA Class 3A state finals. In order to do that, he knew he needed to have as good of a throw as possible during Friday’s preliminaries of the discus and put as much distance between him and the field as possible. Hubona did just that, launching a throw of 185-feet, 1-inch Friday, bettering the next competitor by nearly 16 feet. “It was such a giant load taken off (having a good throw Friday),” Hubona said. “That was what I was shooting for from the beginning. I knew I wanted to get it taken care of early so I wasn’t worrying about it Saturday.” While the second-place thrower would close the gap to less than 10-feet, Hubona’s throw held up, making him the 2014 state champion. Hubona becomes Benet’s firstever individual state champion and first medalist ever in Class 3A.The Redwings have one other state track and field title, as the 4x800-meter relay team claimed the 2A title in 1994. “It is a fantastic. (Being state champ) is one of the best feelings ever,” Hubona said. “To finally say you achieved your goal is just amazing. It is not very often that we put track athletes on the podium.” Hubona was seventh in the state a year ago and credits his rise on the podium to hard work. “It was a lot of hard work in the weight room and I had to get down every little thing that was off,” he said.“That all helped.” Hubona said it was early in the season this year when he

realized he could contend for a state title. “It was like week three or four at a home meet when I had my first 180,” he said. “I flung it out there and had a 180, next throw was a 186 and I thought, ‘hey, this could happen.’ ” While Hubona carried the torch for the locals, Downers Grove North placed several events on the podium. Senior Zack Smith earned a pair of individual medals, placing sixth in the 3,200 run with a time of 9:19.75 and finishing ninth in the 1,600 in 4:14.82. “This was an awesome weekend,” Smith said. “I am definitely tired. This was my last time down here in high school and it was really awesome to come here and get to run the mile and two mile double. It was something I always dreamed of doing. It was a tough day for it with the heat and I faded a little, but I can’t be disappointed, I gave it my all.” With his one medal in the 1,600 last season, Smith is the first Downers Grove North runner to earn three medals in a career. Senior Tony Zea was fourth in the 800 run with a time of 1:54.44, while junior Ryan Clevenger was third in the 1600 in 4:11.20. Zea and Clevenger teamed with Jack Diamond and Zac Christensen and placed eighth in the 4x800 relay with a time of 7:47.95. “This was a great weekend,” Clevenger said. “The 4x800 was freakishly fast, so we will take that time and take eighth and an all-state medal and in the mile, I just wanted to stay calm. Coming in, I was 11th and I knew I could do better than that. The race felt great, coming down the last 100, >> see STATE | page 14

Mustangs fourth, Leto sixth in state By Scott Taylor & mike sandrolini

A strong showing for Downers Grove South’s Tony Leto at the state meet last weekend would be an understatement. Leto was impressive throughout the tournament, finishing in sixth place after losing the consolation championship. His performance helped the Mustangs place fourth as a team. Leto opened play with four straight easy victories. The first three wins he lost a total of five games.

Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

Tony Leto advanced to the consolation championship for Downers South.

In the fourth round he defeated Sebastien Lescoulie of Carbondale 6-3, 6-2 to advance to the quarterfinals. That is where he fell for the first time in the tournament, to Martin Joyce of Hinsdale Central, 6-2, 4-6, 6-3. Joyce went on to place second in the state. He rebounded with wins in the consolation quarterfinals (6-4, 6-1) and consolation semifinals (5-7, 6-4, 6-2) before falling in the fifth place match to Peter Tarwid of Lake Forest, 6-3, 7-5.

As a team, the Trojans tallied 20 total points and placed 12th in the state meet. North had three field events compete on Friday and not advance to the Saturday finals. Jazz Charrier jumped 21-05 in the long jump and missed out on the finals, while Nicholas Steichmann had a shot put of 489.75 and Nick Janicki threw the discus 150-06. Downers South saw Jacob Amiri run the 800-meter run in 1:58.91 and the 4x400-meter relay team of Amiri, Adam Gray, Ross Netzel and Jon Osei posted a time of 3:25.75.

CLASS 1A Lisle sophomore Aaron Harris placed eighth in the 200 dash in 22.86. “It was not my best performance,” Harris said. “Last year I popped my left hip flexor and I sat out at sectionals, so this year I was training and I got

here, but again, not my best race. I have to come back next year and take it.” Harris’ medal was the first state medal for the Lions since 2006 when the 4x400 relay placed seventh. Individually, Lisle has not had a state-placer since 1999 when and Eric Sally (4th) and Jarrod Jahnke (5th) placed in shot put. The last time an individual Lion won a medal on the track was 1996 when Chris Jones, Lisle’s most decorated sprinter, was first in the 400 and second in the 200. Westmont’s Tim Doll ended his career as one of the school’s most accomplished sprinters, as he placed ninth in the 400dash in a time of 51.28. It was his fourth state medal. Only Dan Benton (4 medals, 2005-07) has as many medals as a sprinter, while only four Westmont track athletes have tallied four or more medals in a career. Doll’s teammate, Quintin Brown, also ran the 400 and posted a time of 51.59, but did not advance. Lisle’s Nathan Woltmann did not hit the opening height in the pole vault.

Benet advances to sectional final before falling to Lyons By mike sAndrolini FOr THe buGLe

mike@buglenewspapers.com @voyagersport

With 18 shutouts to their credit this season—a school record for both girls and boys soccer programs at Benet—the Redwings were used to keeping opposing shots from going into the net. Unfortunately, Benet got a taste of its own medicine in the Downers South sectional. No. 1 seeded Lyons Township (19-3) blanked the Redwings, 3-0, and moved on to supersectional play Tuesday at Lewis University versus Lincoln-Way North. Benet (18-3-3) came into the contest with an 11-game unbeaten streak. A key to the game was the Lions successfully containing senior Michelle Morefield, the Redwings’ leading point producer. “She still had her moments,”

said Benet coach Bob Gros. “Offensively we did generate some good opportunities. We had some opportunities we created and didn’t put it in the net. They’re a very big, strong team, Michelle had a bit of a bone bruise, and she may have been slowed down by that.” The game remained scoreless until LT grabbed a 1-0 lead with around 10 minutes to go in the first half on a free kick by Erin Fitzgerald. “She buried the shot,” Gros said. “The first 15 to 20 minutes of the second half, we had the run of the play.” Then, the Redwings caught an unlucky break when their two center-backs ran into each other. Bridget Kirby took possession of the loose ball and scored to make it 2-0. “They’re the key for us,” Gros said. “They were on ground and the ball popped right to girl from LT. They’re an excellent

team and ranked as highly as they are for a good reason. We had our moments and didn’t finish off the chances we did create.” LT scored its third goal around 15 minutes later. “You’ve got to score in a game like that and we didn’t do that so that’s the result that’s going to happen,” Gros said. “Our strength (this season) was our ability to keep opponents from piling up goals. We played from behind and that changes everything.” Morefield, Emily Curtis, Claire Elenteny Katie Baumann and Carissa Tsouchlos are among the seniors Gros loses to graduation, but the team won’t be completely bare going into next spring. “We have 12 juniors,” Gros pointed out, “and two of my starters were a freshman and a sophomore; they will be back. We’re not in total rebuilding

mode, which happens occasionally. We still have a lot of quality people and some good young kids that will be joining the team next year.”

SEMIFINALS After taking a 1-0 halftime lead in their Downers South sectional semifinal game against Hinsdale Central on May 28, Gros was hoping his squad could muster another goal during the second half and not have to sit on a onegoal advantage. Well, with 13 minutes left in the half, Benet got the goal Gros sought. Tsouchlos did the honors, scoring from 30 yards out to put the Redwings in front, 2-0. Benet added another goal from Loretta Elder with 7:45 remaining, and the Redwings went on to win, 3-1. “That’s what we discussed at halftime,” Gros said. “And we knew it would be difficult; it’s

(Hinsdale Central) a very, very good team.The game was closer than the score would indicate. Our thought was that we would have to really work hard.” Morefield, who put the Redwings in front 1-0 with her first-half goal off a free kick following a Hinsdale Central foul, was trying to get a shot off prior to Tsouchlos’ goal, but couldn’t, so she got the ball to Tsouchlos. “I would have had enough time to shoot, but I took a mistouch and I just kind of went under me,” Morefield said. “Carissa called for it, and I saw she had the better angle and just laid it off and she just put in a beautiful shot.” “I would say it’s probably the biggest (goal) I’ve ever scored,” Tsouchlos said.“I just said,‘I just hope that I don’t miss this.’ But I put my nerves aside. Michelle’s a great player and I didn’t want to disappoint.”

rom the Joliet American Legion Band to the klingon Band, more than 80 costumed characters, featured artists and a full day of activities are coming to the Joliet Public Library for its 5th annual “Star Wars Day,” Saturday, June 7. The Joliet Public Library downtown will host what is billed as the world’s largest Star Wars-themed library event, and the world’s second largest one-day Star Wars event overall. Expanding the fun for all ages, the Joliet Area Historical Museum will host a series of exhibits and activities, which will run at both locations from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event is expected to attract participants from Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio. The increasing popularity of the full day event is the result of good planning and partnership that prove to be a powerful “force” to draw visitors, according to local tourism leaders. The Heritage Corridor Convention and Visitors Bureau has been working to attract attention to the event, which is a great example of local partnership among tourism sites in the area. Even the Joliet route 66 Diner will have a special Star Wars menu for Star Wars loyalists. “Tourism teamwork like this helps bring new visitors to downtown Joliet, and lets key sites and businesses spotlight the best we have to offer,” said Bob Navarro, local CVB President. Joliet Public Library youth Services Librarian, roger Burns, is once again working with Mike Brick from the Joliet Area Historical Museum to plan another hugely successful event. Planned for guests of all ages, a wide range of activities will be featured on June 7 at both the downtown Library and the Museum from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. Star Wars Day in Joliet will begin with a literal bang -- on the drum. Beginning at 11 a.m., the (Joliet) American Legion Band will lead a parade from the Joliet Area Historical Museum to the Joliet Public Library to kick off another Star Wars Day in downtown Joliet. The parade route will go from Ottawa Street, left on Clinton to Chicago Street, according to Burns. Planners have worked with the Joliet Police Department to shut down part of Ottawa Street for the day to make for safer and more convenient passage back and forth from the Museum to the Library throughout the day. Parking is available in the Ottawa Street Parking Deck. The Joliet Area Historical Museum will be offering free admission for the entire day on June 7, with support from Exxon and NrG ENergy. For its part, according to Mike Brick, the Museum will feature some exciting

Separately, LegoLand Star Wars exhibit from private collections will be on display. Entertaining guests of all ages will be the il Troubadore klingon Music Project. “Wookie on the Cello was quite a hit, so the entire band will be in costume this year,” said, Burns.

Dave Dorman (Carpentersville), Steve Palenica (Worth), and Mike Babinski (kankakee), as well as Tara Schile and Jim Haase from Chicago. Proceeds from a prize drawing of Babinski’s body of work will support Big Brothers Big Sisters. “With all due respect, we are in the ‘Golden Age of the Geek and the Nerd’, which explains the cross-generational appeal of these types of events,” Burns said. “From young children to adults, all of whom take part in Annual Star Wars Day fun, it is a great experience for everyone.” For additional information on Star Wars Day in Joliet, contact Heritage Corridor Convention and Visitors Bureau, 800-926-CANAL (2262), the Joliet Public Library, 815-740-2260 and www.jolietlibrary.org, or the Joliet Area Historical Museum at 815-723-5201, and www.jolietmuseum.org.
