village to postpone stormwater referendum Village board may place question on April ballot

When the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad was extended from Aurora to Chicago in 1862, the course was set for the future development and evolution of Downers Grove.

Sincethattime,the railroad has played an important role in shaping the village, facilitating commerce, economic development and growing transportation needs. The Downers Grove Historical Society and the Downers Grove Park District Museum are honoring the railroad’s legacy during their fifth annual Downtown Photo Tour. “If the railroad had not gone through Downers Grove, the village would not be what it is today,” said Carol Wandschneider, recording secretary for the Downers Grove Historical Society. “It’s very important to our history, and that’s why we chose that as the subject this year.”

A referendum question for a proposed stormwater utility will not be on the November general election ballot, despite previous plans to submit the question to the DuPage County Election Commission.

The Westmont Village Board considered an ordinance to submit a referendum question during its July 24 meeting but postponed the item until Aug. 7. The stormwater utility would create regular funding to improve the village’s stormwater infrastructure.

“To make the November ballot, the approval would have to be made tonight,” assistant village manager Stephen May said at during the meeting.

Lyman Wood bee apiary thriving again after 140 years Lyman Woods honey is only available from the Interpretive Center at Lyman Woods Although the current apiary is only a couple of years old, bees are nothing new to this Downers Grove nature preserve.

Harvesting of the summer batch of honey at Lyman Woods began in July and honey went on sale July 28.

In 1894, an August issue of the American Bee Journal describes a visit to the farm owned by Walter C Lyman. A piece of that farm now forms the Lyman Woods Nature Preserve, which is managed by the Downers Grove Park District. According to the journal,Lyman began beekeeping around 1882 “by a stray swarm located on one of their trees.”

Lyman’s first crop of honey was 75 pounds, and by 1894 he was producing thousands of pounds each season from 70 colonies of bees.

Naturalist Marge Trocki currently manages around 10 hives at Lyman Woods. As well as assisting in the bee’s production of honey twice a year, she helps run beekeeping summer camps for children and beekeeping and hive building classes for adults.

“There are many reasons that beekeeping can be such a fascinating hobby.” Trocki said. “It seems the more I learn about honeybees and how they function as social insects, the more intrigued I am with

Honey is harvested from the apiary in July and again in September.The hives are opened and honeycomb-filled frames are removed. The wax caps are cut from the combs and the honey extracted, filtered and bottled, yielding a nice light-gold honey. In addition to the honey, beeswax is also collected, which will be used for making candles as part of a Jr. Beekeepers Camp project.

The LymanWoods honey is only available from the Interpretive Center at Lyman Woods, with 1-pound jars available for $9 and 8-ounce jars for $6. Although the honey harvest is larger than in 2013, the honey is expected to sell out quickly and will be available on a first-come, firstserved basis.

>> HISTORY, from page 1 Residents and history buffs can take the photo tour, named “The Grove, The Rails, The Stations,” starting Aug. 8 and anytime thereafter throughout August.

A brochure listing the names of participating businesses will guide residents along the self-guided tour, which will feature window displays of historic photographs that highlight the history of the railroad in the village. The brochures are available at The Downers Grove Park District Museum, the Tivoli Theater and Bowling Alley, and participating businesses.

For the past four years,the photo tour focused on the many historic buildings scattered throughout the downtown area. To keep the tour fresh, Wandschneider said the historical society decided to create a theme for this year’s tour.

“There’s not going to be any information about the buildings themselves this year; we prettywell covered that the last four years,” she said. “Next year, we’ll probably change it again, just to keep it interesting.”

With 35 downtown businesses participating in ‘The Grove, The Rails, The Stations’ tour, interest is

high. And, one business owner in particular is using his passion for railroad history to make this year’s tour memorable.

Mario Olivi, owner of The Olive Tap, grew up in Chicago’s Pullman neighborhood, built by the Pullman Palace Car Company in 1880.Olivi’s father and grandfather worked for the Pullman Palace Car Company during his youth, and he became interested in the railroads history.

“That’s what got me interested in this year’s train theme,” he said.

As a member of the Downtown Downers Grove Management Corporation, Olivi has been involved in the planning of the photo tour since it began in 2010. But this year, Olivi, the train enthusiast, was inspired to put a little extra into both his planning efforts and his display.

While researching the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, Olivi learned that the tracks passing through the village were previously owned by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad.

“I wanted to find out if the CBQ ever pulled Pullman Cars, and it turns out they did,” Olivi said.“The trains that were pulled through Downers Grove would have been

built in the factories that my father and my grandfather worked in.”

In addition to the pictures supplied by the Downers Grove Park District Museum, Olivi’s display will include his own collection of Pullman history books and photographs, as well as a model train set that will depict the actual train models shown in some of the photo tour’s pictures.

The Downtown Photo Tour will shed light on Downers Grove’s history as a railroad town.

However, it will ultimately help write a new chapter in the history book, drawing attention to the current downtown and benefiting many of the small businesses that call Downers Grove home.

“Hopefully, the general public gets interested in the history of Downers Grove and wants to see pictures and explanations of what’s going on and what happened in the past,” Olivi said. “People come in and they walk around downtown, and subsequently they learn about our stores and they come in and shop.”

Players improve in Midwest League

By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

While the summer for most college students is a chance to travel, land an internship or just go back home and relax around family and friends, the same does not hold true to college athletes.

These students have to continue to work on their craft, no matter what sport they play, as they want to return to campus and show their coaches an improved level of play.

The Midwest Collegiate League offers such a place for college baseball players of all levels while offering Chicagoland athletes a place to improve their game while staying close to home.

“There are a lot of kids that try and stay close to home, but a lot of guys have to travel,” said Admiral and Plainfield East graduate Joey Anderson, who is at Concordia. “It was really nice finding a good league like this that is close to home and it has been great.

That was the case last week when the DuPage Hounds and Joliet Admirals met up at Joliet Junior College’s Wayne King Field.

The Admirals, a transplanted team formerly from Rockford, won the game in walk-off fashion.

Wins and losses, however, are secondary to improvement.

“Wins and losses don’t really matter in the summer,” said former Bolingbrook pitcher Steve Waldrop, who is with the Admirals and played college at Morehead State. “The summer is for getting your reps in and staying hot for your upcoming college season. This has been a lot of fun. I like everyone out

here and I like playing with these guys.”

Different guys have different expectations of summer baseball, however all of them have the same goal of getting better.

“Summer is a time that I try and work on things and have fun,” said Hounds right fielder Frank Perrone, a Maine South graduate currently at Eastern

Illinois University.“The season is such a mental tear that I really enjoy this league. It is kind of laid back, which you need sometime in the summer. It is successful if you just get the work in and get better.”

For Bolingbrook graduate and current Benedictine University player Justin Kovalsky, the summer is helping him improve as well as continue to heal.

“I was injured 26 games into the season and I look to come back stronger,” he said. “This has been a great experience. I really only knew Steve (Waldrop), but I have had a lot of fun getting to know these guys, they are all great guys and I hope I can play with them again next summer.

“This was a great learning experience and we are all going to go back to our schools and

grow.”

A lot of the players did know each other coming in, some from the Hitmen travel team and others from playing in the area.

“It is nice having a lot of kids close to home,” said Plainfield North graduate Jay Roberts, who is at McKendree. “We have a lot >> see IMProve | page 13

Locals hold their own at Illinois Open By mike sandrolini For the bugle

mike@buglenewspapers.com @voyagersport

Last week’s 65th Illinois Open, billed as the state championship of Illinois golf, pits the state’s 156 finest professionals and amateurs in a three-day 54-hole stroke play event.

At the end of the second round, the field is trimmed to the lowest 50 scorers who then compete in the final round.

Brad Hopfinger of Lake Forest, who tied for fourth place at last year’s Illinois Open, started round three trailing Brian Bullington—the field’s leader after two rounds—by two strokes.

Hopfinger, though, started the round by registering birdies on three of the first five holes. He overtook Bullington and held off Travis Johns of Oswego—an Australian native who’s a teaching pro at Medinah Country Club—to win the Illinois Open by one stroke.

Hopfinger finished 6 under par for the tourney (a three-day total of 210) while Johns was 5 under par. The win earned Hopfinger a first-place check for $13,500.

The 25-year-old has been spending this year climbing the ladder of the professional ranks with a goal of eventually earning a PGA Tour card. He’s been playing in events on the PGA Latinoamerica Tour and the PGA Canada Tour, hoping to advance to theWeb.com Tour, which now has become the prominent way to obtain a Tour card.

He sees winning the Illinois Open as a confidence-builder.

“Fortunately I’ve had a lot of consistent weeks playing golf this year,” Hopfinger said, “and this win helps give me a little motivation. I’m working on some stuff, and I think this adds to that. I’m working on the right things and got the direction going forward this year.

“You try to take bits and pieces (from what you’ve learned in other tournaments) and try to put yourself in a position (to win) as many times as you can. Keep going until you find the right formula for you on that day what work.

Definitely playing down there (in Mexico) and playing in Canada has helped me a lot to be prepared for just about anything really.”

Hopfinger and the rest of the third-round field had to play through windy conditions, with wind speeds hitting between 16 and 20 mph.

“The five-footers (putts) became tough,” Hopfinger said. “The wind pushed it off line, and if you try and get too greedy with it and hit them hard, then they go another four, five or six feet by (the cup). So everything is just exaggerated with the wind.

“Fortunately I hit a lot of good shots the first 10 holes and didn’t have to worry about much there.”

That wind on the final day certainly factored in to higher scores, noted Downers South product Michael Bubenicek.

Bubenicek was one of two Downers Grove residents who made the final cut, along with pro Guy Sciortino, a former all-American at College of DuPage.

Sciortino finished in a tie

for 30th (79-68-78-225), and Bubenicek, one of 25 amateurs to make the final round, ended up tied for 52nd.

Bubenicek turned first- and second-round scores of 74 and 72, respectively—including chipping in for a birdie on hole No. 2 during round two—but scored an 83 the final day.

“The conditions today were pretty outrageous, pretty windy,” said Bubenicek, who’ll be a senior at Millikin University this fall. “The scores were pretty high up there, including mine.”

Bubenicek, who along with junior Austin Havens are the Big Blue’s two top returning golfers for 2014-15, set out to get to the final round this time around after qualifying for his first Illinois Open last summer.

“It felt great,” he said.“I didn’t feel much pressure today. I was more nervous the first round.

Any golfer here is able to go mid-60s at any time. They’re just very talented golfers and the competition is great so you just have to hold your own to >> see OPEN | page 13

The Illinois Open field also featured two other players from the Bugle-Enterprise coverage area: Park Ridge’s Tony Albano, a Maine South graduate who was Illinois Wesleyan’s No. 2 golfer this past season, and >> improve, from page 11 of Plainfield kids and Naperville kids and guy that have known each other for a long time, so it was fun.”

Knowing some guys helps the meshing process, which is not easy in a short season.

“It is fun. It is hard when you come in with a new coach and new guys and try and mesh over the summer and we are a younger team than a lot of the others, but it has fun battling,” said Plainfield Central graduate Hunter Linton, who is now at Robert Morris. “I have made some good friends and got to get ready for the college season.”

Some players played against

Lisle’s Michael Doherty, a 2014 Naperville North grad.

The cutoff to advance to the final round was 149, and Albano—named College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin’s Men’s Golfer of the Week on two occasions last spring—missed the cut by just one stroke, finishing with a 6 over par 150 (72-78).

Meanwhile, Doherty carded

a two-day 14 over par 158 (8275). Nevertheless, Doherty said he thought playing in the Open turned out to be a very good experience for him.

“It was cool,” said Doherty, a two-time state qualifier who helped lead Naperville North to a runner-up finish at the 2012 state tournament. “I was very pleased to be there in the first place. It’s the most elite

friends and former teammates, like former Downers Grove South player Javier Marinez, who was on the Joliet Admirals.

“I know guys there over there from playing against them and a couple former teammates and that is always fun to see,” he said.

One of those players was Conner Kopach, who is at Southern Illinois UniversityEdwardsville, who said he enjoyed the league.

“This is really fun coming out here working on things and just trying to go back to school better,” he said. “I have met a lot of new people and made a lot of new friends.”

Several other locals littered

the Admirals’ roster, such as Tomas Aguliar (Plainfield Central, College of DuPage), Quin Ahern (Joliet West, Northern Iowa Area Community College), Brenden Miller (Plainfield North, SIUE), Ryan VanVolkenberg (Maryville University), Pat Cashman (Plainfield North, Southeastern Louisiana University), Brian Czyl (Lisle, Oakton Community College), Kyle Hunsinger (Plainfield Central, University of Illinois-Springfield) and Jermaine Terry (Plainfield South).

Ahern, Waldrop, Kovalsky, VanVolkenberg, Cashman and Kopach were all named to the MCL All-Star game this season.

Ahern earned the start on the mound.

THE BUGLE JULY 30, 2014 competition and a very wellrun event.”

Doherty said he’s been playing in a lot of junior tournaments, and the level of competition last week was “definitely a lot different.”

“It’s all the best players in the state,” he said. “It will definitely help me during the college season.”

Doherty is attending NCAA

review

Joliet country club

In the few years we have been doing golf reviews, every course we reviewed has been a public taylor’s take course. by scott taylor That changed when we played Joliet Country Club a couple weeks ago.

Joining a private course is a much different decision than just playing a round of golf somewhere. First, you are committed to playing that course on a weekly, if not daily basis.There are also other perks to the membership at many clubs and there are also some responsibilities as well.

Joliet Country Club is located just south of Interstate 80 and the downtown Joliet area. It is near the Chicagoland Speedway. It has been around since the early 1900s.

It is a financially stable club where all memberships are family oriented. In fact, the membership in June of 2012 was 170 golf members and it has since grown to 247.

The growth has led to a slight increase in price for the regular golf membership. The 2014 regular golf membership cost was $3,800 and will be at $4,500 for the 2015 season.

However, last year there was a cost of $150 each for the locker room, bag storage and a Mill River Discount buying plan, which are all included this year. Also included in this membership is unlimited golf for member and immediate family (cart fee of $25 does apply), a guest fee of $65 with a cart and also includes the pool, dining and driving range.

From April to December, each member will have his or her own food and any beverage minimum of $150. Membership fees can be paid monthly or annually.

The corporate regular golf membership offers the same perks as the regular membership, except the corporation can have up to three memberships. The 2015 fees are $3,060 per member.

The third and final option is the emerging professional membership. This option is for the younger, less established crowd. It again includes all of the perks of the other options, but you must be 38 years of age or younger to qualify. The fee is $2,850 and the food and beverage minimum is $50.

As for the course itself, it is pretty much what one would expect a private course to be.

It is quiet and in great shape.

The only issue it had was the

quick tip: pay attention to the map as holes are spaced apart.

Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

Joliet Country Club is a well-manicured course.

bunkers on some of the holes due to the heavy rains, but they were being worked on.

For visitors like us, the course layout was hard to navigate at times as holes were spaced a ways apart sometimes, but as a member, it is something one will get used to quickly.

The course plays rather difficult, with a slope of 128 from the blue tees and plays 6,330 yards. The first hole plays 390 yards and the green slopes severely from back to front.

Even in the morning, the green was lightning quick and my soft chip shot from behind the green went all the way off the front of the green.

Hole No. 2 is a short but tight par-5, with a creek behind the

green that could come into play. A short and normal length par-4s follow and then comes a 140-yard par-3. The sixth and seventh holes are side-by-side with a creek running through the par-5 sixth before the 415yard par-4 seventh. The front nine ends with a par-3 and a short but tight par-4.

A straightaway par-4 opens the back nine, with a slight dogleg par-4 next with a creek again running through the fairway. No. 12 is one of its signature holes, a par-3 over water and is followed by a sharp dogleg par-4.

The 14th is a 180-yard par 3 and a long, 515-yard par-5 is next. There is a creek in the fairway that could take a long

drive. The signature hole at Joliet Country Club, and one of my favorite holes I’ve played all year, is the par-4 16th. It plays just 345 yards, but the fairways are split by a winding creek.

Even a great drive could end up in the water and the approach shot may also have to go over water if you stay on the right side fairway.

The 17th hole is a dogleg left par-5 and the final hole comes back towards the clubhouse and is a long par-4 over the creek with a pond to the right.

If you are looking for a course to place membership at where you could play whenever you wanted without long rounds, Joliet Country Club is a good course for you.

Cheap computers not always a good deal Like brain surgery or They are at it parachutes, you may again… the computer not want the cheapest manufacturers, that service; you want quality, is. More specifically, safety, and security over the manufacturers price.

It should be the who make Windows same for computers, computers are once yet it is not. Ever since again turning down the personal computer a destructive path to John Becker has been available, which there can be Computer Tech competition, innovation, no good end. On the and super-efficient production surface, the path looks like a methods have accustomed us to winner: cheaper PCs under $400 a continually downward trend in and some under $300. But what prices. the Windows market needs is The old joke was that your not cheaper PCs, but rather more computer was obsolete before expensive PCs. What? Did I really you unpacked it, and the say that? corollary that if you wait to buy, This is a difficult argument to you can get it cheaper a week make, because well, everyone from now.

Those days are gone; myself included - wants things to be cheaper. Yet cheaper is not computer manufacturers have hit an “innovation plateau” where always a good deal.

they seem to be stuck at the intersection of rising material prices and the limits of how small they can make things.

Another motivation is to try and compete with hand-held tablet devices which are mostly in the under-$400 and under-$300 range.

So what to do? The easy answer is that if you can’t make PCs cheaper, start taking stuff out to make them cheaper.

Never mind that weak video means the buyer will be unhappy when they try to show High-Def streaming movies on their TV set.

Never mind that the de-featured, low-power processor is very slow: they beat the other PC makers to the next lowest price range.

This “race to the bottom” to compete withTablets,and possibly kill off weaker competitors will backfire. What they are selling is a computer that performs slowly, has weak video capability, and in general is unsatisfactory. This will in turn result in unhappy customers, returned computers, and other bad things to further damage the Windows brand.

What the Windows computer makers should be doing is what Apple is doing: hold the line on price, and keep delivering a topnotch product. The price of a good-quality computer will be paid by people who recognize a low price does not always mean a good deal.

So, beware the under-$300

and under-$400 windows computers: If you need to get a computing device in that price range, get a tablet instead. You’ll be much happier.

Though most eruptions aren't so devastating, Iceland weathers an average of one every five years.The eruption of Eyjafjallajokull was big news in 2010, when it stopped air travel across Europe, inconveniencing a lot of travelers - including me.

Whether or not you can speak the language, a visit to Iceland is fun - and English is widely spoken.

With steamy pools amid a bracing North Atlantic wind, grand views and fascinating history, there's plenty to make it worth a stop.

The valley landscape has plenty of moss and green scrub covering black volcanic lava flows. Even when the first settlers came to this island - some 500 miles from Scotland, its nearest neighbor - Iceland was nearly without trees.

All the geological activity does have its benefits though. Geothermal power plants tap into the heat spilling out from deep in the earth.

Across Iceland, you’ll see an infrastructure of pipes and power plants tapping into that natural source of energy. And ever since the advent of thermal-powered greenhouses which you see glowing in the mist around Iceland - local boys no longer have an excuse not to buy their girlfriends fresh flowers.

With so much geothermal energy, Iceland is a culture of swimming pools and hot tubs.

It seems nearly every visitor who can afford the steep entry fee decides to kick off or cap a visit to Iceland with a luxurious soak in the famous Blue Lagoon. This giant spa complex is just 20 minutes from the airport and 45 minutes from the center of Reykjavik. Locals say soaking in a warm, cozy tub loosens people up and gossip flows freely. Floating around in the toasty seawater surrounded by an undulating landscape obscured by steam, I eavesdropped on lots of conversations ... but don’t understand a word of Icelandic.
