Pink Heals helps women with cancer ATI Field hosted Pink Heals parade By stewart warren StAFF rePorter

By pat schager FOR THE BUGLE The television pilot for The Adventures of Kitty Zombie” is being shot in Joliet, Crest Hill and Lockport.

So … what’s a Kitty Zombie? Even if he is a zombie, Kitty, as he likes to be known, is a lovable, innocent character dreamed up by director John LaFlamboy, a Lockport native. LaFlamboy hopes Disney or Nickelodeon will be interested in the concept. Itisbeingshotasashortfilmand will be marketed as a TV pilot. Costumed actors, stagehands, guys with mikes and clipboards, and miles and miles of cables JOHN LAFLAMBOY converged on Siegel’s Cottonwood Farm DIRECTOR AND PRODUCER OF “THE and Statesville Haunted Prison this past ADVENTURES OF week. Kitty Zombie was being held KITTY ZOMBIE” captive in the Haunted Prison. Would someone rescue him? And how will the storyline for a kids show, minus blood and gore, develop? It’s the adventures of Kitty Zombie trying to escape from an evil military scientist with help from his neighborhood kid friends.

Rain splashed on the Pink Heals parade early Sunday evening as it traveled east on Jefferson Street, and Alicia Bales smiled from her seat inside the cab of a pink fire truck.

Brady Fleck, 5, of Joliet, was sitting on the 18-year-old’s lap. They waved at the cars that were traveling in the opposite direction.

Behind them, a long line of people walked toward ATI Field at Joliet Memorial Stadium, 3000 W. Jefferson St. Anne Marino Henschen, who works for the Rockdale school district and has breast cancer, was among them. She walked down the street, smiling and happy, her hair in a fashionable pixie that made her look like Audrey Hepburn.

Some of the marchers wore gray T-shirts indicating that they had family members or friends who suffered the disease. Others wore pink shirts because they had experienced cancer themselves.

They all believed in Pink Heals, an organization that began in 2007 in Glendale, Arizona. Back then, Dave Graybill, a retired >> see PiNK HeALS | page 3

To comfort sick children, Lockport Police Officers Kevin Brauch and Marty Hamilton recently delivered several boxes of new stuffed animals to be given to pediatric patients at Silver Cross Hospital.

Throughout the year, the

Lockport Police Department collected these new toys.

“We are grateful to Kevin Brauch and Marty Hamilton and the Lockport Police Department for their support for our youngest patients,” said Larry Johnson, Vice President of the Foundation at Silver Cross Hospital. “The donation of stuffed animals will make a difficult stay at the hospital a little easier.”

Forest Preserve District enlarges Joliet Preserve The 14-acre preserve was purchased by the district in 1994 July 10 to buy a parcel of land that will expand Teale Woods Preserve in Joliet.

The 0.43-acre parcel is located along North Broadway and is surrounded on three sides by the preserve.

“The new property will allow the Forest Preserve District to provide off-street parking for preserve visitors and it also will serve as a trailhead for the Broadway Greenway, which is owned and managed by the City of Joliet,” said Marcy DeMauro, the district’s executive director.

Teale Woods, located south of Theodore Street and east of Center Street, is the northernmost terminus of the Joliet Broadway Greenway, which is a linear city park that runs along Broadway on the

LaFlamboy is actor, director and producer, along with L.A. partner Mike Bradecich. The team is using local acting talent and Lockport Porter High School alumni and local kids in his production.

LaFlamboy says Kitty Zombie grew out of a costume party when kids surrounded the costumed zombie. “The kids just loved this big, hulky zombie who looked scary but really wasn’t,” he said. “It was a natural to imagine a story with this character.”

LaFlamboy calls his pilot the story of a misfit that kids seem to relate to.

The part of the day’s shooting at the Haunted Prison was an experience. Stuffed inside a

west bank of the Des Plaines River.

The Preserve was named after naturalist Edwin Way Teale, who was born in Joliet in 1899 and was a champion of small “wild” areas in cities.

Setting up the scene took at least 20 minutes, but when the director yelled “action”, there was instant silence and intense concentration for the 20 seconds it took for the Ninja to break Kitty out of jail – in one take.

One of the actors waiting for his turn as a white shirt-black tie super villain called it “just a lot of fun.”

But the surreal part came outside near the parking area when this huge evil clown with blue hair and piercing blue eyes casually walking to his car stopped to say hello.

Corey Riley, aka evil clown, said he has been scaring people at the Statesville Haunted Prison and haunted houses for nine years.

“Never gets boring,” was all he said.

>> PINK HEALS, from page 1 firefighter, wanted to find a way to help women who were touched by cancer in one way or another. And he wanted the funds to be spent in a very specific and local way.

“We believe that money raised in our communities, counties and states should remain there, giving us the option to either put it towards research or deliver 100 percent of the money generated by fundraisers to the people (who) need it most,” Graybill wrote in a message on the organization’s website.

Three years ago, Matt and Sandra Fleck of Joliet were looking for a way to give back to the community, and cancerrelated causes were important to them.When they heard about Pink Heals, it clicked. Firefighters and police officers had started the organization, and the Flecks liked the fact that every dollar went to help someone. The cash wasn’t spent on some administrator’s salary.

Over the past three years, the Joliet chapter of Pink Heals has raised $90,000, said Matt Fleck, who is a Joliet firefighter and the father of Brady Fleck.The money has been used to ease the lives of local cancer victims and their families.

So they held their latest fundraiser on Sunday. Matt was behind the wheel of one of the pink fire trucks that paraded through town.

At Memorial stadium, a disc jockey played and everyone was in a party mood. The event was going well, despite an unexpected shower.

“It’s awesome! Even with the rain, people hung out,” Matt said.

Jan Hirmer, of Elwood, a retired postal worker, was there to celebrate the life of her longtime friend Minnie Bates Hervey of Joliet, who died in late 2012 of cancer.

“It’s important to be here in support of individuals, any individuals,” Jan said.

Red Necks, warm hearts Benefit supports injured Air Force vet and his family

By Pat Schager For the enterprise

sweditor@buglenewspapers.com @Buglenewspapers

Despite the weather last Saturday, Anthony Simone was pleased to see so many friends and well-wishers at the Red Neck Benefit in his honor in Crest Hill.

Sue and Paul Siegel hosted a 3K Run and all-day contests at their Cottonwood Farm for wounded warrior Air Force captain Simone.

“Call me Tony” sat out the rain in a tent while greeting everyone who stopped by. He was surrounded by a small part of his collection of caps from special military units. He said he has over 300 caps from all over the world.

But the item closest to his heart is his special dog tag created by Joliet jeweler David Nelson.

On one side of the tag is a replica of Tony’s Purple Heart medal. The reverse side is engraved with the names of

Tony, his wife and two toddlers are living in Joliet while they wait for their specially adapted home

for disabled veterans. The new home will be specially adapted for his needs and is being built in nearby Manhattan by Homes For Our Troops.

Letter to the eDitor

Avoiding insect stings by observing simple precations When eating outdoors, keep food covered

Avoid wearing sandals or walking barefoot in the grass.

Honeybees and bumble bees forage on white clover, a weed that grows in lawns throughout this country.

Never swat a flying insect. If need be, brush it off or wait for

it to leave. Do not drink from open beverage cans. Stinging insects can crawl inside the can attracted by the sweet beverage.

When eating outdoors, try to keep food covered at all times.

Outside garbage cans should be covered with tight-fitting lids.

Avoid sweet-smelling perfumes, hair sprays, colognes and deodorants.

Avoid wearing light-colored clothing.

Wear gloves, shoes and socks when doing yard work. These will help prevent stings on hands and feet, and will provide time

to get away from an unexpected mound with insects.

Keep window and door screens in good repair.

Drive with your car windows closed.

Keep prescribed medications handy at all times and follow the instructions if you are stung. If you have an allergic reaction to a sting or bite, seek medical attention right away at an emergency room or walk-in clinic.

Competition along the course was fierce and challenging.

After the race, the Siegel clan had dreamed up contests for the longest beard, Ma & Pa Cottonwood best redneck outfits, hubcap hurl, tug of war, bean bag toss and horseshoes.

Even if you couldn’t do the run, there was plenty to see and do along the “back forty” acres for families and friends. By-stander Bob Boley wisely brought along a huge umbrella for the rainy weather while watching a toilet seat toss and tire bowling.

One of the most unusual events was watching Elmer Hickey showing his skills with a skill saw as he carved an animal sculpture from an 8-foot log. He

brought along samples of some of his other unique and unusual wood carved pieces.

The Siegels said the idea for the day’s events came while the family was vacationing in Sedona, Arizona. Sue Siegel said she saw a sign for “Red Neck Run” and thought she and husband Paul could do something like this locally for a local wounded warrior.

“And that’s how we found Captain Simone. We are proud to do our part and welcome the community to come out to the farm for a day of fun for a serious cause,” she said.

One of the fun things to do for athletically challenged folk was a search through a straw-filled kettle. Hidden in the straw was a half-carat diamond and hundreds of cubic zirconia, better known as fake diamonds, another donation from jeweler Nelson.

“Try your luck,” said Sue. “Today could be a really good day down on the farm.”

Elliott enjoying success to open career By mark gregory SPortS rePorter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

By March of their senior year, most high school students are focused on graduation, prom and where they will be attending college the following fall.

Some seniors focus on extracurricular activities, sports or a job.

For 18-year-old Chase Elliott, March brought a whole different agenda – race season.

Elliott is in his first season driving the No. 9 NAPA Auto Parts Chevrolet Camaro for Dale Junior Motorsports and his first on the NASCAR Nationwide Series.

Elliott has enjoyed success during the first half of his first season, as he has two victories, seven top-5 finishes and 12 top-10s.

In fact, Elliott posted both of his wins, three top-5s and three top 10s before he graduated from Kings Ridge Christian School Alpharetta, Ga. He said that he was able to enjoy his senior year, despite being one of the brightest young stars of his sport.

“I was fortunate to be able to have been gone and then have been able to come back and have pretty much a normal high school experience,” Elliott said.“I am lucky enough to have a group of friends that respect what I do on the weekends and don’t treat me any different. If they want to follow me, great, I appreciate the support, but if they are busy and have other stuff to do, I respect that.”

Those who did follow Elliott saw him lead 120 laps and completed all but 26 of the 2,784 laps in the Nationwide Series, good for a 99 percent lap completion rate. In early April he took over the lead in the point standings – a position he held for five consecutive weeks – making him the youngest driver to lead in the Nationwide Series.

Elliott sits third in NNS points, only 13 behind leader Regan Smith and eight behind Elliott Sadler. He is 21 points ahead of No.4 Ty Dillon, the only other rookie in the top five. Elliott is leading Dillon in the the Sunoco Rookie of the Year standings as well.

The success has not been something that has surprised

Elliott.

“I didn’t think I would have this success this fast in the season, but I really felt confident in the group of guys

I was paired with and I felt like if I did my job then we could go out and win a race or more than one,” Elliott said. “It is good to have a couple wins and

it has been good to an extent, but I haven’t been happy with the way other weekends have >> see eLLiott | page 14

THE BUGLE/SENTINEL JULY 16, 2014

>> ELLIOTT, from page 13 gone and neither has our team, but we are going to work hard and correct that.”

While hard work, dedication and the right team are important keys to Elliott’ success, his pedigree may have a part in it as well.

Elliott’s dad, Bill, is one of

the top drivers in NASCAR Cup Series history and is a member of the recent;y announced 2015 NASCAR Hall of Fame class.

So while the elder Elliott reaches the culmination of a legendary career, the younger begins what he hopes will be a career to follow his dads. The parallel isn’t lost on Chase.

Sports “It has been a special season for all of us,” he said. “Our season has started off good and I know it is a great honor for him to get into the Hall of Fame.

“It is really cool to be able to experience that with him.”

Elliott will look to continue his success this weekend at Chicagoland Speedway in

Joliet. The race is slated for 7:30 p.m. Saturday, July 19.

Like most of the tracks he has driven this year, Chicagoland Speedway is new to Elliott.

“Every race track is a little different, but you just have to do all you can before you get there like watching as much video as you can and getting advice from drivers from other

drivers who have been there.

“That is all you can really do and hopefully that is enough,” he said. “I would say that 90 percent of the tracks I have been to this year, I had never been to, so it is fun to get to experience new racetracks and I have enjoyed it and I look forward to getting to Chicago.”

review

Cantigny

Hazardous gem

Cantigny tough, but pretty I have heard quite a few good things about Cantigny Golf in Wheaton and was anxious to play the course. taylor’s take Mark Gregory by scott taylor and I were set up with the Woodside-Lakeside combination, as we were told those were the top two nine-hole courses of the three that Cantigny offers.

I was impressed with the course from the first hole and it finished as well as it ended.

After the dogleg right first hole, one of my favorite holes, the par-5 second hole, was next, named “Double Jeopardy.” It plays 521 from the blue tees and has to play over a creek twice. Both your layup and your approach shots could land in the creek, which makes you need to have accurate distances.The tree-lined fairways make it necessary to hit straight shots, as well.

After a couple of rather straightforward holes, the fifth hole is a sharp dogleg right with water on the right, not allowing you to cut off distance. If you bail out left the water can come into play again on the approach.

A long and tight par-4 follows with trees lining both sides of the fairways on a hole that plays

420 yards from the blue tees.

The seventh is a long par-5 that doglegs right at the end for your approach shot.

The eighth hole is another great one, a par-3 over water to a sloped gen that has a bunker in front of it. It shares a green with a Hillside hole and also has water behind and to the left of it, making it a very picturesque hole. Woodside finishes with a par-4 that has water to the left of the green.

The difficulty on Lakeside picks up early as the second hole, like the second at Woodside, is a demanding par-4. At 564 yards, it is long and requires a great deal of accuracy. Your drive could land in the water right, or left if you bomb it off the tee. The water can come into play on the second shot away if you are forced to lay up far back as there is a narrow fairway between two water hazards. It is night all the way up to the green as the tree line is right off a tight fairway.

After a slight breather on the third hole, the fourth hole is a par three where the water could come into play. A long par-5 follows and then comes a short, dogleg right par-4. At 330 from the blue, the green can be reached by the longest of hitters who cut off the dogleg. However, there are trees cutting off the

Cantigny

quick tip: Take less club to keep Location: Wheaton, IL best feature: Plenty of great golf the ball in play with trouble on holes throughout course. Lots of water many holes. hazards and tree-lined fairways offer plenty of difficulty.

The par-5 second hole on the Woodside Course at Cantigny has a creek breaking up the fairway twice.

dogleg, so you would have to play a perfect cut or clear the trees in the air. I hit my best drive of the day, hitting a perfect cut in the bend and landed just 50 yards short of the green. A great strategic and driving hole.

Following a par-4 and a par-3, the closing hole is a great par-4 to finish. It plays at an average length of 378 yards, but has water in play the whole hole to the right and all around the green, except for the front, which is guarded by bunkers. It is another great hole.

Overall, both courses were in great shape and challenging to play. It does require a lot of

concentration as there is not much room to mishit your shots or you could be in water or trees.

I felt like there were several impressive holes on the course,on both the Lakeside and Woodside, that were both memorable to play and great to view. Then again, I am partial to several water hazards on a golf course.

At first I thought I preferred the Woodside Course slightly more, but looking back, both had quite a few great golf holes. Hopefully someday I will be able to play the Hillside Course as well as it looked fun to play, as well.

The cost of this top-notch public course is, as expected, not cheap. It costs $95 to play on the weekends and $85 during the week. That doesn’t include a cart, which is $20 more. But if you have the money, or you allow yourself one $100 round a year, whatever the case may be, if you can make it to Cantigny to play once a year or once in a lifetime, I would definitely recommend stopping in and playing.

All of the workers are extremely nice as well and they have a caddie program as well (as a former caddie, I appreciate this).

ARCA’s Chicago roots go back to Soldier Field The ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards will again be steering for Chicagoland Speedway for the Ansell ActivArmr 150 Saturday, July 19, marking the 14th consecutive appearance of the 62-year-old tour on the 1.5-mile speedway in Joliet, Illinois.

While ARCA’s tenure at Chicagoland is relatively brief, the tour’s Chicago connections go back 56 years, almost to the very day...to 1958 when ARCA raced at Soldier Field on July 18. The 100-lap ARCA race at Soldier Field was won by Chicagoarea native Fred Lorenzen.

Opened in 1924, Soldier Field, home of the Chicago Bears, is the oldest stadium in the National Football League, and, from 1935 - 1968, hosted auto racing.

Soldier Field, however, is not ARCA’s only connection to Chicago-area racing.

ARCA also raced on the now defunct Meadowdale International Raceway road course (Carpentersville, Ill.) in ‘58, also won by Lorenzen.

ARCA returned to Meadowdale in ‘60 and ‘64, and would not return to the Chicago area until Chicagoland Speedway debuted the ARCA tour on September 1, 2001 - Ed Berrier the winner.

This year’s race event will mark the sixth consecutive season Ansell has been the title sponsor of the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards at Chicagoland.

No Repeat ARCA Winners at Chicagoland In 13 consecutive ARCA races at Chicagoland, there have been no repeat winners among drivers. Former ARCA Chicagoland winners are Ed Berrier (2001), Chad Blount (2002), Frank Kimmel (2003), Kyle Krisiloff (2004), Dawayne Bryan (2005), Steve Wallace

(2006), Michael McDowell (2007), Scott Lagasse, Jr. (2008), Justin Lofton (2009), Patrick Sheltra (2010), Ty Dillon (2011), Kevin Swindell (2012), and Corey LaJoie (2013). LaJoie won the Ansell ActivArmr 150 last year with a last lap pass.

No repeat ARCA pole winners at Chicagoland In addition to no repeat victories among drivers, there have been no repeat Menards Pole presented by Ansell winners either. Chad Blount (2002), Frank Kimmel (2003), Steve Wallace (2006), Michael McDowell (2007), and Kevin Swindell (2012) won the race from the pole. Other pole winners at Chicagoland include Tim Steele (2001), Stuart Kirby (2004), Joey Miller (2005), Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. (2008), Brian Ickler (2009),

Craig Goess (2010), Josh Richards (2011), and Ryan Blaney (2013). The ARCA one-lap track record was set in 2008 by Stenhouse with an average speed of 180.030 mph.

Discount tickets on sale now at Menards Discount tickets, on sale for $20 each, for the Ansell ActivArmr 150 at Chicagoland Speedway are on sale now at more than 60 Midwest Menards stores up through Friday, July 18.

The stores selling the discounted tickets include Antioch, Batavia, Bolingbrook, Bradley Bridgeview, Carpentersville, Cicero, Clybourn, Crest Hill, Crestwood, Crystal Lake, Dolton, Elgin, Evergreen Park, Fox Lake, Glendale Heights, Griffith, Gurnee, Hammond,

Frank Kimmel Menards Appearances In addition to the pre-sale tickets, two Menards stores will host 10-time ARCA Racing Series champion Frank Kimmel for two appearances on Thursday, July 17. Kimmel, driver of the No. 44 AnsellMenards Toyota, will appear at the Tinley Park store from 4 to 5:30 p.m. and the Matteson Menards from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

The race will be stop No. 11 of 20 on the 2014 ARCA

Sports >> HOOPS, from page 15 Summer Jam put on by Baylor Basketball/TMT Sportz, the word potential can be removed from the description.

The Chicago Summer Jam is an AAU basketball tournament that brought 130 teams from more than a dozen states and Canada, as well as coaches representing nearly 150 college programs to Romeoville and everyone involved was thrilled with the way the village came through.

“I really love this complex and the Romeoville village has really just come in and let us do what we do and I really appreciate it,” said Toi Baylor, Event Director.

“We look for this to be an annual event and to get bigger and bigger for Baylor Basketball as well as the Village of Romeoville.”

Baylor Basketball worked in partnership with Illinois-based AAU team Meanstreets, founded and run by former University of Michigan basketball and baseball star and ex-NFL wide receiver Tai Streets.

“This facility is state of the art,” Streets said. “I love this place.

I came and saw it when it was field turf and I wondered how they were going to make it into basketball courts, but they did. It is beautiful and I love the area,

I love Romeoville. The people here have welcomed us with open arms all the higher ups in Romeoville have been great to us.”

Streets hopes to bring a Nike Elite Basketball League tournament to Romeoville as well in the future.

The tournament organizers were not the only ones that enjoyed the facility and tournament.

Players like Joliet Catholic Academy junior-to-be Jalen Jackson liked the fact that the facility was close to home for him and his 16U Windy City Magic teammates as well as seeing teams travel to his home area.

“This is great for us, it is 10 minutes down the street for me,” Jackson said. “I know a lot of teams came from a long way, so it is great to see that so many teams made the effort to come here. There are some of the top ranked teams in the country here.”

One of the players that traveled a distance came from Manitoba, Canada – more than 800 miles north.

“It is great. It has been great being in the area all week.Where we are from, the tournaments are smaller in smaller gyms,” said

Daniel Dekleva of the U16 D1 Manitoba/The Academy. “Then we come here and this is great, then we see Mac Irvin Fire where so many NBA players have come from, it great.This is crazy.”

The Fire, the former AAU home of Jabari Parker, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft, feature some of the state’s best players like Jalen Brunson of Stevenson, Ed Morrow of Simeon and Bolingbrook’s Julian Torres.

“This is a great tournament in a great facility right in our back yard against national teams.

This is a great experience,” said 17U coach Mike Irvin. To have a facility this close to Chicago is great. We see these across the country, but we don’t see them here by Chicago.”

The 17U Fire won the tournament, something Irvin said was important on their home soil.

“We have to defend this,” he said.“We are a show on the road, so when we are here, we really have to impress. We have some talent.”

Illinois teams defended the home turf well in the top divisions as Meanstreets, the former home of NBA All-Star Anthony Davis and University of Kentucky recruit Tyler Ulis, won the 16U division.

Who do you want to hang out with?

I’m a big fan of growth stock mutual funds when it comes to long-term investing Dear Dave, I have job offers from two tech companies. One is in San Antonio and pays $55,000 a year, while the other is in Silicon Valley making $100,000 a year.

My friends are advising me to move to California, but I feel like I’d have more money in my budget if I moved to San Antonio.

What do you think?

Aaron Dear Aaron, The good news about Silicon Valley is you’d be around a ton of really smart people in your industry. I mean, it’s the epicenter of the tech world, right? You’ll learn a ton and have lots of opportunities, so there’s definitely an upside.

The problem is that the Silicon Valley area is one of the most expensive places to live in the entire country. The real estate prices and cost of living are ridiculous! Still, if it weren’t for the cost of living argument, it would be a no-brainer for me.

Then, it wouldn’t really be so much about the income and prices as it would be about the career opportunity.

Still, you have to consider the economic factors involved here.

With that in mind, it’s not an exaggeration to say you might actually put more money in your pocket at $55,000 in San Antonio than you would $100,000 in >> cALeNdAr, from page 9 of the CardioPulmonary Rehab department at Presence St. Joseph Medical Center.
