talking pictures, but it had an organ as well for the silent films like “Fazil,” which still were prominent but beginning to fade in popularity. By about 1931, the organ was gone. The theater stayed organless until 1995, when Johnson brought a ’20s replacement from a theater in Champaign.

When he bought the theater in ’76, it wasn’t in bad shape, Johnson said, but it had lost its original sparkle.

Everything had been painted one solid color. He returned gold to the color scheme, replaced the seat and otherwise spruced it back to its original luster.

Classic Cinemas has kept the theatre up with current times as well. It’s equipped with 7.1 Dolby Digital surround sound and can show 3D

movies. The theater also has a headphone system that will narrate the on-screen action for those with visual impairments.

The Tivoli and all other Classic Cinemas theaters made the transition from film projectors to digital in 2011, to the tune of $70,000 each. The Tivoli still has its film projector, but it hasn’t been used in more than a year, he said.

Hollywood films only arrived in the digital format now, and he said the film projector only is used for the occasional rerun of classic, foreign or art films.

“Some of those are only available in 35 mm,” he said.

“That’s the only (film projector) we have left, and I have a feeling in another year or so it will be gone.”

DOWNERS GROVE – A new exhibit at the Downers Grove Museum aims to take visitors on a trip through movie history via the Tivoli Theatre.

The free exhibit, which opened last Friday and closes Dec. 20, collects artifacts and photographs spanning from when the theater opened in 1928 to its renovation by Willis Johnson in the ’70s and today.

When the French Renaissance-style Tivoli was built in Downers Grove, it had, and still has, no match in town, Johnson said.

“The Tivoli was larger, far more ornate,” Johnson said.

“It had the latest and greatest in sound. There’s a lot of decorative plaster. When you

Police stage ‘active shooter’ drill at Midwestern University

By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – More than 200 emergency responders and volunteers participated in a massive “active shooter” scenario Friday at Midwestern University.

The full-scale drill, spearheaded by the village of Downers Grove Police and Fire Departments and Midwestern University, locked down campus for about 90 minutes Friday morning. Several other area police and fire agencies, along with Good Samaritan Hospital, participated as well, in addition to the regional SWAT team.

“It’s fantastic to have this sort of real-to-life scenario to draw a lot of information on and practice what we’ve been trained for,” Downers Grove Fire Chief James Jackson said. “This kind of tool is just the best.”

Viewing from a nearby parking deck, media could

observe the “shooter” enter Alumni Hall about 8:30 a.m.

Friday and begin firing shots.

The initial calls for help rang out over the police radio, and within minutes, officers made entrance to the west side of the building and exchanged mock gunfire with the suspect, who was “neutralized” in the building’s Hyde Atrium.

“Our officers are trained to eliminate the threat,” Downers Grove Police Chief Robert Porter said. “So if we have an active shooting situation, the officers are trained to go to the gunfire.”

Over the course of the next 90 minutes, a steady stream of officers flowed to the building. Law enforcement cleared an area for fire personnel and medics to establish the triage unit and asses patients.

Even with the knowledge the ongoings were merely a drill, observing a scene recalling the news footage from past real-life tragedies can be unsettling.

“From my perspective, the chances of this happening in our community are remote,” Porter said. “However, as public safety professionals, we have to prepare for if something should happen. And that’s what this is all about.

The village and our partners take this very seriously.”

Friday’s event was the culmination of many smaller training exercises the department does in cooperation with local schools, Porter said.

“This is something that’s been ongoing,” he said. “We’ll find out more when we do a formal debriefing of the incident, things that went well, things we need to work on.”

Observers and evaluators from county agencies also viewed the Friday’s event.

“They were all assigned different components of the event,” Porter said. “And Ed McMenamin - emcmenamin@shawmedia.com they’ll give us some feedback, and make some recommenda- Several area emergency response agencies participate Friday in a tions.” mock school shooting drill at Midwestern University.

Ask Dr. Webster

Q: My dentist has “DMD” after his name. Is he different from a “DDS?” A: There is no difference between a dentist who has “DMD”, which stands for Doctor of Medical Dentistry, or “DDS”, which stands for Doctor of Dental Surgery. Those are the names of degrees awarded to a person who has completed the education to become a dentist.

The degrees are interchangeable and the education is identical. Universities that confer such degrees have the prerogative of describing the degree they confer. State licensing boards also view the degrees as equivalent.

By either name, the degree has to satisfy the curriculum requirements fixed by the American Dental Association’s Commission on Dental Accreditation. This generally requires three or more years of undergraduate work followed by four years of dental school. Dentists often will differentiate themselves by going on for further training and education in one of the many specialized areas of dental practice. For instance, an endodontist is a dentist who is an expert in treatment of the dental pulp, the soft, nerve-carrying material inside the tooth.

Your regular dentist might refer you to an endodontist if you needed a root canal. Don’t hesitate to ask your dentist about his or her training and about dental specialities.

Village seeks development proposals for 5117 Main St. SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

DGR Suburban Life • mysuburbanlife.com • Wednesday, July 16, 2014 • SD

DOWNERS GROVE – Developers have until noon July 31 to submit proposals to purchase and develop 5117 Main St. The 6,367-square-foot site in the heart of downtown currently has a 5,798-square-foot, one-story retail or office building with a basement.

“A development plan which includes retail uses on the first floor is desirable,” the village posted to its website.

The building was the previous home of Glazed Expressions, which moved to 1010 Curtiss St.

Developers can pick up proposal documents in person at the Civic Center, 801 Burlington Ave., Downers Grove, or online at www.downers.us/ bus/bid-rfp-process Downers Grove Assistant Village Manager Mike Baker said the village owns the building and would be open to a variety of proposals.

“The primary intention is to sell the property and get it back on the tax rolls,” he said.

“I don’t think we have a preference, whether it’s a redevelopment or new construction or rehabbing the existing facility.”

Developers of the new Starbucks on Ogden Avenue are looking for help from the village to redevelop the former gas station next door at 1201 Ogden Ave.

Village eyes redevelopment of vacant gas station

By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Developers of the new Starbucks on Ogden Avenue are looking for help from the village to redevelop the former gas station next door at 1201 Ogden Ave. The village council heard the first reading of a redevelopment agreement with Insite Real Estate at its meeting July 8. If approved, Insite would build a 5,000-square-foot commercial building that would house two retail or restaurant tenants.

The village would reimburse Insite with TIF funds of up to $225,000 for the remediation of environmental con-

cerns left by the gas station.

Downers Grove staff said the environmental cleanup costs are estimated at $224,802.

Mayor Martin Tully and commissioners David Olsen and Robert Barnett expressed support for the plan.

“I think this is exactly the kind of thing the TIF is for,” Barnett said. “We’ve discussed (Ogden Avenue challenges) at nauseam for six to eight years now, about depth and environmental situations and street, physical elements. And those are the kinds of things that, in my mind, are exactly what the TIF is for.”

The council is expected to vote on the proposal at its

July 15 meeting.

President and CEO of the Downers Grove Economic Development Corporation Michael Cassa said the agreement would require the project to be completed by Jan. 1, 2016. Insite also would be required to obtain a “no further remediation or removal” letter from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency following the cleanup work.

“Insite is actively marketing the site,” he said. “Several national and regional tenants have expressed interest in the lease space. The redevelopment of the property, especially since it is located at a signalized intersection, is very important

for the economic vitality of the Ogden corridor. The redevelopment of a vacant dry cleaner site and closed gas station site, side by side, will not only have a positive impact on that portion of Ogden but will also make it easier for us to pursue other redevelopment projects in the entire Ogden Avenue corridor.”

Resident and Classic Cinemas owner Willis Johnson commented during the meeting that he was “puzzled” as to why the village would pay for the environmental remediation and not the current or previous owners. Mayor Martin Tully instructed the village attorney to gather a response as to whether that was a feasi-

ble possibility and report back at the next meeting.

Johnson said in some development projects he has headed, where environmental remediation was needed, the cost was taken into consideration by the property seller in a reduced sales price.

Michael Cassa added originally the gas station was a tenant on the property, and the actual owner lost the lot in foreclosure to a bank.

“I generally support this project,” Commissioner Olsen said. “I like the idea of the village facilitating economic development … but I think the questions that Mr. Johnson posed are good questions.”

n THIS WEEK’S WEB POLL QUESTION: What do you look for in a summer movie theater trip? Vote online at mysuburbanlife.com.

Unique perspective on library’s importance Mark Zipoy doesn’t look like a typical library supporter.

He’s at least 6 ½ tall. He usually wears blue jeans, work shoes and a hard hat that makes him look even taller. He has a big personality to go with his big stature and his big job as site superintendent for Shales McNutt Construction, the capable management firm running the Downers Grove Public Library’s building renovation project. He’s a no-nonsense guy who is dedicated to getting things done.

So I was delighted to hear Mark’s report of a recent conCOMMUNITY versation with some of his VOICE neighbors near Elgin, where Rick he lives. They are located just Ashton outside the territory of the Gail Borden Public Library, the stellar institution that serves Elgin and surrounding areas. Gail Borden is giving Mark and his neighbors an opportunity to join up. An annexation question on the November ballot will ask them to decide if they will be included in the service area, pay the appropriate property taxes, and receive the full benefit of an outstanding public library’s collections, staff, technology and facilities.

When a neighbor expressed the common belief, “Everything is on the Internet. Nobody needs a library anymore,” Mark recounted his experience of working at the Downers Grove Public Library for the past several months.

He has seen the hundreds of children crowding in for the activities of the summer reading program. He has seen the astonishing volume of book borrowing and book returning that goes on every week. He has heard librarians and other staff members assisting our customers with book finding, question answering and computer mastering. He has built the conference and study rooms that will soon be available for use by students, business people and work teams. He has felt the appreciation that members of the community have for their library, cheerfully accommodating the noise and disruption associated with the ambitious project that he is leading. He let his neighbors know that lots of people still need and still use the library, for lots of reasons.

Mark was careful to tell me that he had not urged his neighbors to vote one way or another. He just provided them with additional information – an additional perspective – that they might want to consider. Most of all, he let them know that his own appreciation for the work of the public library had grown with his own work in a library. And I made sure to tell him that the feeling is mutual.

Rick Ashton is the director of the Downers Grove Public Library.

Thumbs up to Downers Grove native and Conservation Police Officer Steve Vasicek, who recently was named the Mississippi Flyway Council Waterfowl Officer of the Year and was given the Award of Valor by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.

Patrolling the woods near Carbondale, Vasicek has the full powers of a traditional police officer to arrest, detain and investigate, plus the added responsibilities to enforce the hunting rules. He was presented with the awards at a June 20 awards ceremony in Springfield.

Thumbs up to the After Hours Film Society for recently celebrating its 25th anniversary. The nonprofit group formed in 1989 to encourage the appreciation of cinema, both as an art and as a medium of information and education. Operating out of the Tivoli Theatre, the film society’s mission is to provide the suburban community with first class foreign, art and independent films that otherwise would not be offered locally. Congratulations on the milestone and here’s to another successful 25 years.

Downers Grove teen launches ‘Project Media Equality’

By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Downers Grove teenager Dayna Dobias hopes her new YouTube video can be the first step in a social media campaign that looks to change the way people with disabilities are portrayed in media.

As a girl growing up watching television and movies, she said the lack of characters with physical limitations made her feel like an outsider.

“Never once was there any- Dayna body who was Dobias like me,” she said. “I was always curious, ‘Why isn’t there anyone like me on these shows that I like.’”

Dobias has cerebral palsy, which causes tightness in her legs, making it difficult for her to walk. She graduated from

North graduate; incoming Dominican University freshman n TOWN: Downers Grove n WATCH THE VIDEO: www.youtube.com/ watch?v=hYn3cCR9cJc

Downers Grove North High School in June and plans to go to Dominican University in the fall, she said.

The 11-minute video begins with her walking towards the camera, wearing a wide grin and using her walker, and then speaking directly to the viewer about “Project Media Equality.”

“Cerebral palsy is not who I am, it’s just something I have,” she said in the video.

Now, when she does see a character on TV with a physical limitation, too often the disability is the character’s sole dimension, she said. Rarely did she see someone in a wheelchair or with a walker written to have depth, emotion or problems to overcome other than their disability.

She said there was no specific show or movie that became a tipping point for her efforts to bring the conversation into the media narrative.

“I have always loved TV shows and movies, and I’ve always had an interest in acting,” she said. “And I kind of came to the realization that there aren’t many people with disabilities that are in many movies and TV shows, and it kind of frustrated me. And when they are in movies or TV shows, they aren’t portrayed correctly.”

Dobias explained that she is hoping to get as many eyes as possible on the video, and then reach out through other platforms – blogs, Op Eds, whatever it takes to keep the conversation going, and hopefully change the media landscape.

Continued from page 12

Dobias also takes issue with the fact that often able bodied actors are hired to play the role of those with disabilities.

“When you are disabled, there are such a limited amount of roles,” she said.

“There are people who aren’t disabled who have so many roles they can get. I know (show biz) is tough for everyone, but it’s especially tough for those with disabilities.”

If mainstream movies and television featured more physically limited characters, she thinks people would be less rude in everyday life, too.

“I do walk with a different gait; I previously had leg braces,” she said. “I have had lot of people stare, point and ask questions that are somewhat derogatory. People don’t see that in TV and movies so when they see me in public, they stare because it’s not something they’re used to seeing.

Media has such a huge influence on people.”

COMMUNITY VOICE/KEN LERNER

Community can save the Edwards house Thank you for calling attention to the threat to a Downers Grove landmark, the Edwards house. It’s a familiar sight to residents: a magnificent, elaborately styled example of the Victorian period, located in the heart of our downtown area.

The Edwards house is a major component of one of our keystone historic areas along Maple Avenue. This area was noted as a zone of concentrated historical interest in the 2013 Village of Downers Grove Architectural and Historical Survey, not surprising given the proximity of the Historical Museum, the 1846 Blodgett house, and the Orange Lyman house, among other historic structures.

It is difficult to imagine such a magnificent, well preserved, and significant house being bulldozed, but it could happen. As noted in the June 26 article, the house has been

marketed and tentatively sold, along with the less-significant but also historic house next door, as a parcel for development. If there are specific plans for the property, they have not been disclosed. And there is no legal protection for the house – although Downers Grove has a historic preservation ordinance, this property has not been landmarked, and can’t be without the owner’s consent.

That leaves it to the community to make our views known and apply the gentle art of persuasion to those who hold the house’s fate in their hands. That has worked before: a few years ago, the Orange Lyman house was purchased by a builder and was originally destined for destruction. An outpouring of community interest and support persuaded the owner to develop the property in a more historically sen-

sitive way – he renovated the house, split the lot and built a new home on the other half.

We can hope – and express our preference – for a historically sensitive plan for this property in order to preserve the Edwards house.

We will continue to follow the issue and advocate for preservation – but the more the merrier.

Please let us know your own thoughts by emailing info@pdha.org, or writing to Pierce Downer’s Heritage Alliance at PO Box 422, Downers Grove, IL 60515.

You also can visit the new Facebook page entitled “Help save 942 Maple in Downers Grove.”

Residential development starts at former farm not denied.

“It’s hard for us,” Ide said.

“I’ve been doing this since I was in sixth grade when I started mowing the land. It’s going to be a whole different way of life for me.”

Months of paperwork and negotiations came to an end last week when the Ide family finalized an agreement to sell the 55-acre farm to Pulte Homes, a well-known residential developer with a strong reputation. The family had to sell the property to “pay off an enormous inheritance tax,” Ide said.

“We wanted a developer that did things the right way,” Ide said. “And I can’t believe how much [Pulte] has bent

By RYAN TERRELL rterrell@shawmedia.com WOODRIDGE – Suddenly barren and unfamiliar, Charlie Ide looked over the land that supported his family for six decades, the noise of construction equipment rumbling in the background.

The view of his Ide Christmas Tree Farm had changed overnight – literally – as 37,000 trees once destined for warm homes had been pulled and moved off site.

It was a sad and startling sight but one that served as an important reminder for Ide, showing with time comes change, and inevitable change should be embraced,

over backwards for us and the people of Woodridge.

“They’re going to do a lot of good things here.”

Ide was surprised to find how quickly Pulte broke ground on the property – construction equipment cleared the property of its overgrown oak, pine and spruce trees in just a day’s work last week.

The family had finalized the sales agreement just days prior, Ide said. Yet, proof the property wouldn’t sit idle served as validation the family had chosen correctly from a long list of eager developers.

In addition to building 149 upscale houses – five home models will range from 2,292 to 3,307 square feet with an aver-

age price of $400,000 to $500,000 – Pulte will build an eight-acre community park in the subdivision paying homage to the Ide family with various features, some educational.

The park also will include a memorial to Charlie’s late parents, Charles and Juliet, who operated the tree farm for more than 50 years. Charles passed away in 2012 and Juliet this past May. Pulte will preserve one acre of trees pulled from the property, but the bulk of them have been removed and will be mulched off site.

Charlie Ide explained why the trees were not salvageable.

He said the roots of the trees, left over from last Christmas

season, had not been pruned.

“It makes it very unsuitable for digging them up and transplanting them. Plus to transplant a tree at this time of the year is bad news,” Ide said, adding the family is happy with the amount of trees Pulte will preserve.

Charlie Ide and his wife, Janet, will retain their home on the edge of the property. As for their next venture, Charlie Ide said he intends to regroup for awhile before figuring out what’s next.

Community support from longtime customers has been uplifting for his family, he said.

“To look out my house one morning and see all green and then the next day it’s all gone is hard, but we have an enormous amount of people that are emailing us, people who said they had been coming out to the farm for 25 or 35 years, telling us how much they will miss us,” he said.

“It really meant a great deal to a lot of people who came out here for their family outings.

They came, picked a tree, put it in their house and made traditions.”

Ides bid farewell A message posted on the Ide Tree Farm business website on Thursday reads: “Our farm is sold for development as of July 8, 2014. No trees are left for Christmas.

The Ide Christmas Tree Farm founding owners have passed away. To settle the estate, it was regretfully necessary to sell the farm. As the managers of the business, we sincerely thank all of you who have supported and allowed our business to continue for over 60 years. It was a very good run. We are sorry to leave so many of our loyal friends without a local Christmas Tree Farm. We feel honored to have been a prominent part of your Christmas Holidays. Many blessings to you all. Sincerely, Charlie, Jan, Dave, & Jeff Ide.”

The Democratic representation on the DuPage County ballot come November will be more sparse than party officials hoped – but not as sparse as it could have been.

On Thursday, the DuPage County Election Commission Board voted to remove Marian Tomlinson from the ballot, who petitioned to run against Republican Peter Breen for the 48th District General Assembly representative seat.

The commission also voted to confirm its earlier decision to remove Max J. Havlick and Brian Wolter, who were running for the DuPage County Board seat for District Two and the Forest Preserve District presidency, respectively.

All three were challenged by the Republican Party after being petitioned onto the ballot after the primary election.

The challenge to Tomlinson stemmed from two complaints.

The Republican Party said Democratic leadership did not give proper notification to Republican committeemen about the selection and did not follow state law when nominating her.

Counsel Burt Odelson said Democratic Party Commissioner Robert Peickert is required to be one of three committee members to sign off on the nomination of a senator or representative. Peickert’s name was not on any official documentation, so while it was decided the Republican’s first complaint was not valid, Tomlinson was out.

The board previously ruled on Havlick’s and Wolter’s cases at its June 27 meeting, at which it heard arguments on both sides of the debate. Neither candidate obtained the requisite number of petition signatures after the commission threw out several, Odelson said.

That means the District 2 re-election bid of Pete DiCianni and Joe Cantore’s forest preserve presidential hopes will be uncontested.

VILLAGE WILL NOT RENEW ELECTRICAL AGGREGATION The Village's electrical aggregation contract with FirstEnergy Solutions will end in August 2014. The two-year contract initiated in 2012 locked in low electricity supply rates for residents and small businesses. Through the aggregation program, participants saved 42% over the ComEd rates.

The Village has reviewed options for renewing the contract with FirstEnergy and has also looked into other independent energy suppliers. In today's market, the rates available from other energy suppliers are nearly identical to ComEd's rates.

There will be no benefit to residents or businesses by continuing the aggregation program. Should the energy supply market change, the Village can reevaluate after 12 months.

Next Steps All participants enrolled in the aggregation program will return to ComEd's supply rates at the conclusion of the contract ending in August. ComEd's rate for October 2014-May 2015 will be 7.42 cents per kilowatt hour, plus an additional adjustment capped at .5 cents per kilowatt that will vary each month. This rate is determined by the Illinois Power Agency, a State of Illinois agency that purchases power supply for ComEd. Customers will have two billing cycles to decide whether to sign up on their own with an independent/third party authorized energy supplier or be locked into ComEd's rates for 12 months. Customers choosing not to switch will be automatically returned to ComEd and no further action is required.

If You Switch The Illinois Commerce Commission provides information about company complaints and other information about power suppliers at pluginillinois.org.

Residents are encouraged to contact the ICC directly if they have complaints about misleading marketing tactics. Utility complaints may be submitted by calling 800524-0795 or online a http://www.icc.illinois.gov/contactus.

Two other Democrat candidates – Rolland “Rolly” Waller for District 1 and Peickert, who is challenging incumbent Dan Cronin for chairman of the County Board – were allowed to remain on the ballot.

The two were nominated by a subcommittee, as opposed to a full nominating committee, and the Republican Party said neither gave all precinct committeemen proper notice of nomination.

Odelson said some previous appellate court statutes granted flexibility on both issues, and in some situations where “minimal” requirements were met, deference went toward putting candidates on the ballot.

“The law generally is, you favor ballot access,” Odelson said. “That’s what the Supreme Court has told us time and time again. I think that even though this is a closer case, this is a case that should be sided with the candidate because the evidence on record is that there was notice that went out.”

Waller was the only candidate in attendance Thursday and said he was happy about the decision and looking forward to his upcoming contest against District 1 incumbent Paul Fichtner.

“I was extremely impressed at the fact that politics played no role in this,” he said. “I thought it was going to. I think the chairman of this committee – I was told she goes by the book, and that’s what I observed. They just dealt with the facts.”

Restaurant reviews

Blackberry Market also an appealing eatery GLEN ELLYN – With its organic, down-to-earth ambiance, Blackberry Market provides a relaxing and satisfying dining experience.

Upon entering the restaurant in downtown Glen Ellyn, guests are greeted by a quaint market area to the left, and a walk-up coffee and bakery counter on the right. My nose immediately pulled me in the direction of the main counter, where I found an array of enticing dishes such as balsamic pasta salad, zucchini-orzo and chipotle sweet potatoes.

Not knowing where to start, my companion and I took a step back, allowing ourselves to take in the display case offerings along with the menu hanging from the ceiling.

My fellow diner chose to do the mix-and-match order, selecting half a turkey, apple and Gouda sandwich paired with half of the Italian Chop Chop Salad.

The sandwich – served exactly how it sounds – was dressed with a sweet cranberry spread providing the perfect amount of added zing.

And the salad, made with cubed salami, fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, bell pepper, red onions and chopped green beans, was served with a creamy mustard vinaigrette dressing that kept you wanting more.

The restaurant staff brings orders to patrons in the attractive dining area, with exposed brick accents.

To satisfy my palate, I ordered the grilled Gouda and caramelized onion sandwich with a side of hash-brown salad. I can still taste the mouth-watering crunch of the potatoes.

Then – because as indecisive diners we couldn’t stop there – my companion and I split an order of the pesto pasta, a noodle, green bean and tomato concoction.

Our dishes tasted phenomenal and arrived in just the right portions, leaving us anxious to return to Blackber-

The casual eatery, at the corner of Main Street and Hillside Avenue, not only offers a dine-in breakfast and lunch menu, but also specializes in to-go dinners and catering.

The to-go menu – which varies weekly and is not available on Mondays in July – offers anything from a smoked salmon Cobb salad to barbecue baby back ribs to Greek turkey burgers.

On my next visit, it’s the Market Side Trio that I’ll be ordering. The trio is a combination plate of three sides from the display case, which can include any of the potato and pasta salads, orzo dishes or whatever else the chefs have created fresh that day.

DuPage County Hounds infielder Connor Kopach autographs the shirt of a young fan Friday after the Hounds’ home game against the Joliet Admirals. Kopach, who played extensively at Southern Illinois University this spring, played in the Midwest Collegiate League All-Star Game this summer.

Dog days of summer

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com

In the past, Nick Alfini and Connor Kopach were foes when they met on the baseball field.

Alfini pitched for Downers Grove South and Kopach batted and played the infield for Downers Grove North as they played on different sides of the rivalry.

This summer, they are teammates with the DuPage County Hounds in the Midwest Collegiate League.

Several of their teammates, including Christian Bokich and Adam Dressler from Hinsdale Central, also played high school ball in the West Suburban Conference last spring.

“I knew Kopach because of North-South, we play them all the time, and I had heard of the other guys, and they’re great guys,” Alfini said. “It’s kind of cool being local and still playing together a year older.”

The MCL is a summer league for collegiate players and offers them the chance to hone their skills against stiff competition. Alfini and Kopach both agree the chance to play in the league has been an exciting one.

“It’s a great experience,” said Kopach, a Westmont resident who played in 49 games as a freshman at Southern Illinois University this spring.

“I’ve met a lot of new people, and it’s been really cool getting to play with other people and see how they play the game.”

Alfini saw significant action on the mound this spring for St. Ambrose University, an NAIA school in Davenport, Iowa. He

A Downers Grove South graduate, Alfini has pitched in several games this summer. went 3-1 in 11 relief appearances and finished with a 3.00 ERA. He earned a starting nod from Hounds manager Sean Osborne earlier this summer.

“It’s cool getting a chance to start. It’s a different experience,” he said. “Working longer, you have to pace yourself.

I developed a circle changeup, so it helped being a starter [because] I could work on another pitch.”

Playing predominantly against NCAA Division I players also has benefited Alfini as he looks to earn a larger role with the Bees next season.

“It’s been a different transition playing with and against a lot of [NCAA] Division I guys,” he said. “You have to be sharp with your stuff. It’s been a fun experience. I’ve learned so much stuff. It’s been cool.”

Kopach, who played in the

MCL All-Star Game on July 9, came into the summer with two main areas where he wanted to improve.

“Bunting and stealing,” he said. “Bunting because I didn’t bunt well in the spring and stealing because I only had nine this spring and they want me to do more [at SIU].”

Alfini came to league after working with Osborne at The Perfect Swing in the winter and asking about summer league opportunities. SIU coach Ken Henderson found a spot for Kopach in a summer league in Pennsylvania, but Kopach wanted to stay closer to home this summer and picked up a spot in the MCL. From his experience this summer, Alfini would consider another go-round in the league next year.

“It’s cool because for a summer league it’s really intense, so you get that game intensity and game speed,” Alfini said.

“That’s what I like about it.”

Shining on the diamond SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

Baseball fans hoping to catch a glimpse of local players who are continuing their careers in college have that chance with the Midwest Collegiate League.

The MCL, which brings together college players from around the country and assigns them to six teams in the league, includes the DuPage County Hounds and the Joliet Admirals, which both feature several local players.

The Chicago Zephyrs, Lexington Snipes, Northwest Indiana Oilmen and Southland Vikings are the other four teams in the league.

The league also may boast some star power – 10 former or

current MCL players were selected in June in the MLB Draft.

A fan-friendly atmosphere puts spectators up close to the action, and the Hounds even offer free post-game autographs from their players.

The Hounds play at Benedictine University in Lisle and have remaining home games today, Sunday, Tuesday, July 25 and 27.

Joliet Junior College is the home for the Admirals, who have home games remaining Sunday, Tuesday, July 23, 24 and 25.
