Village asking residents to report code violations

Residents can report violations on the village’s website By Jonathan samples staff rePorter et’s face it, most people in their 20s and 30s aren’t clamoring to join book discussion groups. But, the Downers Grove Public Library is working to reverse that trend. Unbound is a new social group begun in January by several adult and teen service librarians at the Downers Grove Library. To be fair, the group does still read books. But with titles like “World War Z” and off-site meeting places such as Ballydoyle Irish Pub, Unbound is not your typical library group. “A lot of adults don’t want

to come to the library right after work to sit in our meeting rooms for a traditional book discussionsoranotherprogram,” said Debra Wischmeyer, one of several staff members who helps coordinate the group’s programs. “They’re looking for a more socialatmosphere to relax with their friends, to grab dinner or a drink, to learn something new or meet new people.” Like its name suggests, Unbound is a group that tries to distance itself from traditional stereotypes of what a library social group should be.

Village Manager takes leave following DUI arrest Steve May is acting village manager By Jonathan Samples staff reporter

jsamples@buglenewspapers.com @strikechords

Westmont village manager Ron Searl is taking an

“extended leave” of absence from his duties, following a July arrest for driving under the influence of alcohol. Larry McIntyre, communications director for the village of Westmont, would not say whether or not Searl’s leave was related to his arrest but added that Searl “had time off that had been planned.” Searl, 54, was stopped by

police at 11:37 p.m. July 3 on Clarendon Hills Road and 55th Street in neighboring Clarendon Hills for driving in the wrong lane, Clarendon Hills police said. Searl was arrested and charged with driving in the wrong lane, driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with a blood-alcohol content over .08. “Mr. Searl was processed

and I-bonded at approximately 1:30 a.m.,” Clarendon Hills police said in the police report.“He was then driven home by a CHPD officer.” Assistant village manager Stephen May will assume Searl’s responsibilities during his absence. “At the moment, Steve May is acting village manager and

that’s by nature of the village manager being on leave,” McIntyre said. “When the village manager’s on leave, the assistant village manager automatically becomes the acting village manager.” Searl has been employed by the village of Westmont since 1982.

County opens vactor receiving station Facility provides an environmentally-friendly way to dispose of the waste materials DuPage County recently unveiled Illinois’ first vactor receiving station, which is located at the Woodridge Greene Valley Wastewater Treatment Facility. The station is part of a shared services initiative that reduces the cost of disposal of public works waste and aims to keep pollutants out of area water supplies. DuPage County Public Works

Committee Chairman Jim Healy said the facility provides an environmentally-friendly way to dispose of the waste materials. “The vactor receiving station represents a huge effort to answer an important community need for waste disposal,” he said. “Partnerships with the Illinois EPA, local municipalities and our many friends in public works and transportation departments have allowed us to collaborate and create a safer, less expensive waste disposal system providing more value to our citizens.”

“Partnerships with the Illinois EPA, local municipalities and our many friends in public works and transportation departments have allowed us to collaborate and create a safer, less expensive waste disposal system providing more value to our citizens.” The newly-constructed $800,000 facility, located near the intersection of Route 53 and 75th Street, will process the debris collected by public

works and transportation vacuum tanker trucks. The waste will then be separated into liquids and solids. The liquids will be treated through the county’s wastewater treatment facility, while the solids will be dried and eventually transferred to the garbage dump. The facility not only provides an environmentally-friendly way to dispose of the waste materials, but it also provides a cost-effective approach for public agencies to dispose of this waste which will ultimately reduce operational expenses. The county will begin using

COD Multimedia Producer/Director gives back to WWii Veterans Willman has been volunteering for Honor Flight Chicago, an organization dedicated to celebrating and honoring WWII veterans College of DuPage Multimedia Services Producer and Director Kevin Willman has donated his time and skills for the past three years to a very worthy cause. During this period, Willman has been volunteering for Honor Flight Chicago, an organization dedicated to celebrating and honoring WWII veterans. "I filmed a documentary on an Honor Flight that Cantigny helped fund in 2008," Willman said. "In 2011, I contacted Mary Pettinato, the co-founder and CEO of Honor Flight Chicago and that led to a discussion about her idea to document every flight and give each veteran a DVD of the trip." Willman has since documented 19 flights; an experience he says has its own personal resonance for him. "My grandfather was in the Pacific on the U.S.S. Idaho during WWII," Willman said. "I never got to talk to him about it. However, through this program, I am able to form fun relationships with many veterans, with a lot of kidding and joking going on through the day. That makes me feel closer to my grandfather."

I was listening to the Score the other day, and White Sox announcer and former player Steve Stone was talking about how different position players warm up on the field. The pitcher, he said, is the only position player who does not warm up where he plays. Shortstops take grounders at that position, outfielders out there, etc. But pitchers throw off to the side on mounds that can be very different from those on the field of play, especially, as he notes, on the road, where some, ahem, gamesmanship can take place. Oddly enough, it got me thinking about elected officials and those who want to be, primarily the latter. Even the most well-intentioned people get into politics because they believe they can change things … hopefully for the better. I have yet to hear one candidate say they am going into

this race to botch things up and return home a disgrace to a tarand-feather party of his or her constituents. Then come the promises.“This will not happen if you elect me.” “I promise you I will not raise taxes.’’“Read my lips … “ Too often, these promises do not come true when these candidates are elected or reelected. Do you know why? Because the mound they’re pitching their promises from is a whole lot different from the one in the game. Sometimes, they may know that going in. And there is a level in Dante’s Inferno just for them. But many times, unfulfilled promises come from ignorance. A person who is vying for a spot on a board where there are a seven, 27 or several hundred will assume it’s easy to go in and change things right off. For newcomer state representatives and U.S. House members, the first thing they realize after getting sworn in is their next election is less than two years away. That doesn’t leave much time to get those promises fulfilled. Then they realize they are part of something much greater than themselves. And the issue or issues that got them elected may or may not be part of the grand scheme of that body they were

elected to. Then they realize to accomplish what they promised, if it at all feasible, may take some compromise, giving up another issue they hold dear to salvage a more important one. For years -- whether it was growing up during the Daley Machine years in Chicago, or onthe-job education as a journalist – I continued to be astounded by just how that political sausage was made when I was allowed a small peek inside. Some politicians relished (sorry) that challenge; others got caught in the grinder. Maybe that’s one reason why candidates continue to hammer away in commercials and ads at the bad, or perceived bad, their counterparts have done. They don’t have to make any promises; they just have to be seen as better than the other guy. A preponderance of evidence. Talk about a civil trial concept turning uncivil. This is a good time to remind candidates I will not accept stories or ads that are negative. Tell us what you are going to do. Tell us about yourself. But other than promising to do the very best you can to be a good person and represent your constituents’ needs, don’t tell us no lies.

Alfini focuses on ability, not disability By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

Nick Alfini grew up in a baseball family. He also grew up with brachial plexus injury. The Downers Grove resident chose early in life which one would win. That injury, which occurs when the brachial plexus nerves - the network of nerves that sends signals from your spine to your shoulder, arm and hand – are stretched, compressed or torn, limits the ability of his use of his right arm. So, early on in life, he made adjustments and became a lefthanded throwing and catching first baseman. “I have a big baseball family, so it was something I learned how to do real early on or else I would be missing out,” Alfini said.“My dad says build a bridge and get over it and I really had no choice, so I just did it.” After a few years of playing first base, Alfini taught himself to pitch. On the mound, he holds his glove in his right hand, pitches with his left hand and on the follow through, slips his hand inside of his glove and is ready to field his position. “My parents were worried when I was younger about me getting a line drive back at me, so I mostly played first base, but a few years ago, I started pitching and it has worked out, obviously,” he said. “It was something I kind of worked out on my own and my dad and my cousins helped me. “It is the only way I have ever done it, so it is natural to me. I get ground balls and line drives back at me all the time and I

make the plays, so I don’t think it inhibits me that much. Plus, if I strike them out, I don’t have to worry.” His first two seasons with the Mustangs, he was a position player and part time pitcher, but in the summer before his junior year, varsity coach Darren Orel made the decision that if he was to succeed at the varsity level, Alfini would have to become a full-time pitcher. “We told him that he was a

pitcher only and that he wasn’t going to bat at all because we wanted him to focus on pitching,” said DGS coach Darren Orel. “To his credit, he bought in, because I think he still wanted to play first base and he still wanted to hit. Once he really focused on pitching, I saw him and knew we had something. He was great in that closer role for us, going 6-1 as a senior.” His attitude and ability has

now landed him on the mound for St. Ambrose University in Davenport, IA. He played over the summer for the DuPage Hounds of the Midwest Collegiate League where he served as the team’s closer. “We started off with Nick like we did with any recruit and that is the quality of the individual first and he fits the category of the players we bring in and that is a high character kid where there is no

trouble on or off the field,” said St.Ambrose coach Jim Callahan. “After that, we look at can you play at the college level. Like any freshman, he had to come in and earn it, whether he had a disability or not.” This season, Alfini posted a 3-1 record with a 3.00 ERA and one save in 11 appearances. He tossed 21 innings, allowing 24 hits and four walks on the >> see ALFINI | page 14

WrestleFest 5 is coming to Joliet Saturday, August 9.

Wrestling icons coming to Joliet By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

While everyone knows that every young boy growing up wants to be a police officer, astronaut or a baseball player, there is one profession they also wanted, but may not have shared with mom – a professional wrestler. That dream was no different for Anthony Buonicore. “I watched wrestling with my brothers since I was seven years old and my dad used to take us to the UIC Pavilion,” Buonicore said. “I was my brothers’ test dummy for a lot of moves they wanted to try. About 15 years ago, I saw an ad for a local business called the LWF and I gave it a try. I had a little run with WWE, I did some of their dark matches and tryouts and things like that. At the pinnacle where I could have been signed, I broke my leg in three places.” When his wrestling days were over, Buonicore stayed in the business, bringing professionalstyle wrestling matches first to Berwyn and now to Joliet. The biggest of those events is WrestleFest 5 and will be held Saturday, August 9 at the Joliet Park District Multipurpose Center, 3000 W. Jefferson St. “It is the five-year anniversary and I figured it was about time, so I started calling in some

favors from all the big guns I know and I ended up getting people and tried to make this our WrestleMania,” Buonicore said. “As I was putting the list together, I didn’t realize all the people I had talked to. So, when it was all done, I looked down and said, ‘man, I have, like 15 people coming in.’” Buonicore and his company Pro Wrestling Blitz are bringing former WWF/WWE champions like Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle, WWE Hall of Famer and WCW World Heavyweight Champion Booker T, Kevin Nash and former WWE European Champion X­Pac. Joining the bill will be former WCW World Heavyweight Champion Scott Steiner, TNA Grand Slam Champion Abyss, Bushwhacker Luke, Scotty Too Hotty, former ECW superstar Al Snow and ECW original Sabu. Other than the big names listed on the bill, Buonicore says the true treat for fans may come from names not listed. “I like to do surprises and there are a few surprises that aren’t announced,” Buonicore said. “There are some really huge names in this business that will be making an appearance. That is something I like to pride myself on.” What he also prides himself on is giving wrestling fans of all >> see ICONS | page 14

Collins runs away with Illinois Women’s Open By Scott Taylor sports editor

staylor@enterprisepublications.com @Taylor_Sports

With the growth of sponsorships, the Phil Kosin Illinois Women’s Open has been able to grow the prize fund. That has led to players from across the country coming to Mistwood Golf Club in Romeoville to compete in the event on the recently renovated course. One of those players making her first appearance was University of Oklahoma graduate and Dallas-area native Emily Collins. In just her second tournament as a professional, Collins blitzed the field, winning by a record nine strokes, finished with a 4-under par 212 three-day total July 30. “It was a great feeling, especially getting my first pro victory,” Collins said. “I’m really excited and happy to be in

Downers Grove resident Shannon Menard competed in the Illinois Women’s Open last week.

Illinois with all the awesome weather. I’m really happy with how I played in such tough conditions.” The only round she had played at Mistwood before the tournament was in the pro-am the day before the tournament started. Her lack of familiarity with the course didn’t affect her game at all. “I really liked the setup of the course,” Collins said. “The pro-am was my only practice round. I think it helped that we could use range finders. I had the mindset of not hitting drivers all the time. I didn’t let anything get ahead of me.” Mistwood is known for its difficult par-5s, but Collins made them look easy, going 4-under for the week. “My wedges were pretty solid and I could almost reach a couple of them (in two),” she said.“I didn’t reach any of them but got close. Some of them I

hit three wood, iron and wedge and got close.” Collins finished second in her first pro start, at the Texas Women’s Open. She is in the qualifying round for the LPGA’s Meijer Classic and then will be attending next month’s qualifying school. She does have Illinois ties as both of her parents attended Illinois State University. Her mother is from Bloomington and her dad is from DeKalb. Her caddie, Tony Costello, is a family friend who lives just 20 minutes from Mistwood. “I have some family and friends up here and I knew the weather would be nice because they told me it would,” Collins stated. “I was just trying to get away from the heat for a week.” While Collins ran away with the title and had a five-stroke lead entering the final day, it >> see OPEN | page 14

At first the opponents see that he changes his glove over, but then after he gets the first out, he is just treated as a pitcher who gets guys out,” Callahan said. “He earned innings over a lot of good, quality college pitchers and it wasn’t based on anything other than, when he went in

and pitched, he performed at a high level and that is rare for a freshman to do that. He was one of the first guys out of the bullpen on a pretty good pitching staff. “There was not one occasion that he did not perform because of the disability. There are players who have trouble fielding or have pick off moves that are bad, but he had zero issues. I think he was ready mentally to come in where other freshmen aren’t because his whole life, he has had to work harder and be mentally

tougher than everybody.” That attitude went back to his days at South. “He never believes he can’t do anything,” Orel said. “When we did conditioning and we had to do pushups, he found a way. It may not have looked like everyone else, but he found a way. I would tell him that he didn’t have to do things like climbing rope and he never thought to not do it because of his arm. He always found a way. He is a real hard worker and just a really good kid and I am so proud of him.”

Alfini is not the first pitcher to learn to pitch and catch with the same hand. Former Major Leaguer Jim Abbott won an Olympic gold medal in 1989, was a first round draft choice and fired a nohitter during his 10-year career. Being that Abbott retired when Alfini was five years old, he had to hear stories. “My dad knew more about Jim Abbott than I did growing up and my dad just told me it can be done,” Alfini said. “Of course, now I hear about (Abbott) all the time, being

compared to him.” Like Abbott was for him, Alfini now has the opportunity to show other kids how to overcome. “For my guys and the other teams, it is inspirational,” Callahan said. “I have a young nephew who has a disability very similar to Nick’s and that was part of the recruiting process with him, I won’t lie. I wanted to show my nephew, who is a baseball player too, that if it is important, there is a way to figure out how to do it.”

Post, credits Buonicore and the PW Blitz for keeping the VFW in business. “We were in the red,” Bond said. “Business was really bad and we were hurting and, in fact, the city gave $5,000 to us that we eventually paid back, but right around that time, they came to us about the wrestling shows and renting the place out once a month. They were here for three years and the bar made good money during the show and they always paid the rent and they brought in a lot of people that never knew where we were. People who did know thought we were

private. So, they brought in a lot of new customers that came for wrestling that were repeat customers coming in for other events and renting out.” The shows have now moved their monthly shows to St. Joe’s Park on Theodore, with help from Bond, and are also looking to start a professional wrestling training school on Black Road in Joliet. “We are trying to get a farm league in the area,” Buonicore said.“Our main instructor there will be Armando Estrada from WWE and then we will have guest star trainers like Al Snow and Victoria from the Divas.”

>> OPEN, FROM PAGE 13 wasn’t all a cakewalk. She was three over par in her first two holes and her playing partner, Michigan State graduate Allyssa Ferrell, went birdie-birdie and the tournament was quickly squared. Back-to-back birdies,however, was a great response from Collins and she added another on the eighth hole to make the turn at level par for the day. “I just wanted to get back to even eventually,” Collins said. “Getting birdies the next two holes really helped turn it around. I was in control after nine, which was nice.” Meanwhile, Ferrell didn’t make a par on the front nine. She bogeyed the third and came back with two more birdies to reach red figures for the tournament. However, she finished the nine with a double and three bogeys and Collins suddenly had a sevenshot advantage, which grew to as much as 10 until a bogey on

the 17th hole. There was a five-way tie for second at 5-over par 221 with Ferrell, Ashley Armstrong from Flossmoor, Lisabeth Brooks from Wisconsin and Ember Schuldt of Sterling. Brooks matched Collins with a 71 on the final round, while Naperville high school rising star Bing Singhsumalee shot a 70. The lone Voyager Media area representative to make the cut was Bolingbrook’s Jessica Yuen, who finished tied for 27th at 232 (+16). Downers Grove residents Tiffany Boak, Liz Schwartzers and Shannon Menard also competed in the IWO, but didn’t make the cut. “It was hard, but it was a good experience for college,” said Menard, a sophomore-tobe at the University of IllinoisChicago. “This was good getting back in the swing of things for school. This showed that I have work to do for school, but it really helped prepare me.”

If you die without a will in place, your family has to go through the court and jump through all sorts of hoops to settle the estate. The process can take several months. No one should leave their loved ones in that kind of predicament, when having a will drawn up is such a simple an inexpensive process. Everyone needs a will, Cam. Human beings have a 100 percent mortality rate, okay? No one is

getting out of this thing alive. You need a will, a full estate plan with specific instructions on what to do with all your stuff after you die! —Dave * Dave Ramsey is America’s trusted voice on money and business.

Comprised of 44 campuses – including hospitals in the Midwest region, Adventist Bolingbrook, Adventist GlenOaks, Adventist Hinsdale and Adventist La Grange Memorial Hospitals –Adventist Health System’s inclusion on the list is based on the Health Care’s Most Wired survey. “Being identified as a Most Wired hospital has been accomplished through hard work by many teams across the enterprise,” said Thomas Schoenig, chief information officer with Adventist Midwest Health. “At Adventist Midwest Health, we recognize information technology is at the core of how we

provide quality patient care safely and operate efficiently. Through our investment and deployment in information technology, this has allowed us the ability to access pertinent information in a timely fashion.” “Our focus is on using this technology to continually improve patient care, and we are honored to be recognized for our effective technology adoption,” he added.
