Andy, however, didn’t get involved in theater until his junior year at Merrillville High School. That
was when he effectively ended his high school football career. Theater has been part of his life since
then.

had ever heard about her.”
“Then, on my end,” Amy said, “my friend asked
me if I could come in and take on this open part in
the production. She told me that there was minimal
speaking, easy-peasy kind of part. Being unfamiliar with the play – shame on me – I didn’t know at
the time that that was way, way wrong!,” Amy said,
laughing. “The part turned out to be way, way more
Amy and Andy Crane discuss elements of the production during rehearsals.
In fact, it is their mutual love and devotion to theater that first brought them together. Back in 1999,
Andy was cast in Purdue University-North Central’s production of “The Fantasticks.” One of his
fellow castmates exited the show just a few weeks
before opening night, so they were searching for
fresh blood to bring in for the part.
“One of my castmates was friends with Amy, and
she kept telling us that she had a friend who had
just graduated from college and had started teaching, and was involved in theater and could pick up
this part in no time,” Andy said.
Amy laughed upon hearing this description of
herself, with Andy adding, “This was the first time I
complicated than that.”
“Yeah, but she came in and learned that part,
backwards and forwards like it was nothing,” Andy
said. “It was amazing.”
A few weeks into the show, they were dating. That
spring also happened to be when Amy took on her
first directing job with Marquette’s theater department, choosing “Our Town” for the spring production because of its minimal set and prop designs.
“At the time, we didn’t have hardly anything for
any kind of production, which is why I picked ‘Our
Town’ – we didn’t really need anything,” Amy said.
“And I was talking to Andy one day, just telling him
about the show and about what we had and how it
THE

would be nice if we could have just a couple more
pieces.”
“And, of course,” Andy said, “the first words out of
my mouth were, ‘I can build that’.”
The rest was history.
Being extremely handy whenever Amy needed a
new piece for one of her shows, Andy would volunteer, and if he didn’t, she would ask. Such was the
case with the spring production of “Little Shop of
Horrors.”
“So, there was this really cool special effect in the
movie that only lasted about thirty seconds, but it
was so neat, so one day Amy came up to me and
was talking about this scene and how neat it was,
and how awesome it would be to have this 30 second
special effect in the play – which it really would be
– the only problem is that the special effect she was
talking about was done for a movie, not a stage,”
Andy said. “And I just kind of looked at her, knowing
what was coming, but hoping that it wasn’t true.”
“And that’s when I asked him to build an apartContinued on Page 4

ment building,” Amy laughed. “And that’s pretty
much how our relationship goes. I dream big, and
he scales me back.”
And build he did. On top of the regular set pieces
already commissioned, including the vicious, killer plant, Andy constructed an apartment building
for this 30-second special effect, creating working
doors, metal staircases up and down the back, fully
functioning fire escapes on the front, windows...anything and everything you could imagine.
Together, they have appeared together in about
seven different plays in the area, been involved
with more than 20 in the area and produced close to
30 plays at Marquette.
And now, they have begun to pass the torch onto
their children, William and Ella, who have appeared
in a few performances together without their parents, such as last fall’s production of “Oliver!’ at
Footlight Theatre.
“It’s great getting to share this experience with
my family,” Amy said. “I mean, how many people
can say that they have a job where they can spend
all of this time with their family? It really is an incredible thing! And I’m so grateful for this job and
this theater, and the chance to share all of this with
my family.”
Amy and Andy are furiously at work on “A Murder is Announced.” Luckily for Andy, the set design
is more on the simplistic side compared to “Little
Shop of Horrors.” The only Herculean task was
finding special lamps that needed to be used and
switched out during the performance.
On the night The Beacher visited Marquette’s
theater, Andy set off to work on the set, while Amy
took her place directing the students. Even working
their separate jobs, if one looks closely, you can see
how well they work together. Without even being in
the same area as Amy, Andy already knows what
she needs, and what he needs to do first to make
her job easier. For them, it is effortless. They work,
bicker, laugh and just enjoy each other and their
kids while trying to cultivate these performances.
“I think I can speak for both of us when I say
that we just love being here at Marquette,” Amy
said. “This is so different from when they’re in the
classroom. This is a place that they choose to be in.
They’re not here out of some kind of school requirement. I have had students who have been selective mutes, or had problems speaking in public, or
lacked self-confidence, and it’s just incredible to see
them blossom in this environment.
“And that’s really why we are here. Yes, we love the
theater, in general, but we love the students more.”
Amy Crane discusses elements of the show with
assistant director Cassidy Downs.
Ella and William Crane appear with their parents, and the cast of “A Murder is Announced.”

Welcoming a New Addition
Long Beach Community Center has welcomed a new addition to its grounds: a 1,350 pound bench carved by Bud White and made
from a single oak tree. Renita Vlasek purchased it at an auction held by Elsie Mae White, then donated it to the Long Beach Parks
Department, which enlisted the Beach Garden Club’s help to find the perfect spot for it. The bench is one of eight that Bud White
carved in his lifetime. Pictured with it are (front row, from left) Joy Schmidt, Jane Moon, White and Rima Binder. The back row is

A “Family” Reunited
Event Celebrates the Legacy of Memorial Hospital
by William Halliar
Dreams and legacy.
Friends and family.
A swelling unity of community spirit.
All of these threads were celebrated Oct. 24 as
administrators, doctors, nurses and support staff of
Michigan City’s old Memorial Hospital gathered at
Blue Chip Casino’s Stardust Event Center to share
memories and stories of the years they worked together, serving their friends and neighbors in the
community.
A memorial serves as a remembrance of times together, of people working side by side for a common
goal. Such an institution of cooperative effort was Memorial Hospital. All that it meant to those who worked
there was celebrated in an evening of memories.
It had been more than 18 years since the people
— gathered on this particular evening — worked
together, sharing so much of their lives with each
other, yet that feeling of family and camaraderie
was still present in the room. It was because of
the vision of Norm Steider, Bud Ruby and Milton
Bankoff, both of whom have passed away, and the
founders of Memorial Hospital that those attending
the reunion are still good friends, even 18 years after the hospital’s closing.
Lynette Sims (from left), Cheryl Dauer, Cheryl Becherer and Gwen Towns.
Cheryl Dauer of Memorial’s Food Service Department observed that “It is a testament to the hospital
staff,” referring to Steider and Ruby, “that so many
of the people who worked at Memorial are still involved in the community after all of these years.”
Two hundred and thirty people gathered under
shimmering chandeliers, in an elegant setting anxious to be together after so many years. There were
maintenance workers, nurses, secretaries, radiologists, doctors, administrators — all hugging, laughing and remembering times spent together at the
hospital.
“There was no class distinction between those
who worked there,” Camie White, Duneland Health
Council director, said. “Bud and Norm had the
greatest respect for each other, and for those who
worked for them.”
The two, she continued, formed the backbone of
the hospital staff. They knew every person on staff,
including their family members.
Norm and Mary Steider (center) with daughters
Gretchen Gallois (left) and Melanie Trowbrigde.
Bankoff ’s children, Dr.
Peter Bankoff, his wife,
Mary, and sister, Barbara, were present for the
event, as well as June
Ruby, Bud’s wife. Steider,
his wife, Mary, and daughters, Gretchen Gallois,
and Melanie Trowbrigde,
enjoyed the evening along
with Dr. Albert Weiss, one
of the hospital’s founding
Albert Weiss
doctors.
Of Steider, Bud Ruby once said, “He was a man
of the highest character,” and all agreed that Ruby
was the cornerstone of the organization. Both men
placed the highest priority on knowing their staff
and supporting their work at the hospital, as well
as being concerned about the well-being of their
families. During those years, everyone knew each
other’s families.
Many during the evening mentioned what a wonderful experience it was working at the hospital, expressing sentiments like, “It was awesome all working together,” “A wonderful experience,” “a different
kind of culture.”
All that was accomplished because the hospital
began with a vision, a heart for service and a passion that imbued the entire staff with a desire to
give of themselves to the patients who entered their
THE
November 5, 2015
doors, and to each other as they worked together
more as a family than as colleagues
The history of any successful organization is a
story of vision, planning and passion. It is those
dedicated few who work and sweat, give their energy and heart, and sometimes tears, to a venture
that makes it succeed and live on as a memorial of
their dedication.
The story of the old Memorial Hospital began in
the early part of the 20th century. Michigan City’s
population began to grow. As it became a center for
manufacturing, lumber and grain shipping, a need
emerged for quality medical care. Five doctors, J.B.
Rogers, F.V. Martin, E.O. Krueger and L.A. Wilson,
joined forces to form a group practice that was simply called The Clinic. They established their office
in the former DeWolfe residence at Fifth and Pine
streets. This location would remain the heart of
what would become Memorial Hospital. The Clinic
first opened its doors Nov. 1, 1921.
The group practice grew, and within four years,
the need for a real hospital became evident. A 40bed facility was built adjacent to the DeWolfe residence, and in 1925, Doctor’s Hospital opened its
doors to serve the community. As a distinct honor,
the new hospital was accredited by both The American Hospital Association and The American College
of Surgeons.
Michigan City grew and prospered. Over the
years, doctors and staff retired and new faces joined
the staff, including Bankoff, who came on board in
1944. The hospital at Fifth and Pine became an important resource in the area.
Many years later, Bankoff would write of the hospital, “The facilities, its capable staff, even the location in the heart of the city are reason enough for
its acceptance by the people of the community. But
even more important than these is the principle of
service to all who need it, regardless of financial circumstances, color or creed.” All who came in need
were welcome. None would be turned away. The
spirit of family was established.
By 1951, the original owners of Doctors Hospital
had reached the end of their careers, and a new and
bold group of forward thinkers took up the mantle.
Bankoff purchased the hospital and along with doctors Albert Weiss, Amos Arney, Peter Pilecki and
Leonard Paul continued the long tradition of Hippocrates: “Wherever the art of medicine is loved,
there is also a love of humanity.”
Under the guidance of Steider, president and
CEO, and Ruby, chairman of the board of trustees,
the hospital was rechristened Memorial Hospital on
July 1, 1964. Soon, it had 102 beds and supported a
staff of 153 people. Together, they earned salaries to
sustain families in Michigan City’s neighborhoods.
Weiss, who attended the Oct. 24 reunion, remembers when Memorial Hospital had the only emergency room in all of Michigan City, and there were
Page 23
no ambulances.
“Patients were delivered to the emergency room
in the hearses of local funeral homes,” he said.
In a booklet published in 1993 for the hospital’s
30th anniversary, Steider shared his feelings for the
organization that he gave so much of his heart and
soul to establish: “Memories of Memorial...so important to us, because our days and work here have
been significant. As worker, patient, family, friend
the Memorial experience has been meaningful and
worthwhile. We have heeded a call to heal and cure.
We have touched hearts. We have given each other
our lives to share. We have cared. We have loved,
and we have done well.”
Memorial Hospital closed its doors in 1997 and
was sold to Franciscan St. Anthony Health, a newer
full-service surgical hospital. The location at Fifth
and Pine is now a grassy field, but the spirit of Memorial Hospital lives on. As testimony to the vision
of its founders, their work continues on. Memorial
Hospital lives not only in the hearts of those who
once served there, but also in Duneland Health
Council, which was established with proceeds raised
in the sale of the building.
Today, the Duneland Health Council, whose mission is “to support activities which will benefit the
health and welfare of the greater Michigan City
community,” donates $300,000 to $400,000 to the
community each year. It was born on the wings
of the dreams of its founders and benefited by the
vision, ethics and dreams of Bankoff, Ruby and
Steider. The council, today, supports efforts to stem
teen pregnancies, curb obesity and drug abuse and
eradicate homelessness, problems that still plague
our community.
Mary and Peter Bankoff, Barbara Bankoff, and Mark and Judy Jacobi.
Judy Jacobi, who spoke at the reunion, presented
appreciations for Bud Ruby, Norm Steider and Milton Bankoff. She summed up the evening by saying,
“Tonight and always, each of you is the Memorial
Hospital that we appreciate, celebrate, honor and
remember. Together, we are Memorial Hospital.”
The work, dreams and legacy of the founders continues in the smiles, memories and continued work
of those who grew up in the Memorial Family, and
the efforts of Duneland Health Council.

Monday Musicale members assembled at Barker
Mansion on Oct. 26 for the second in a series of programs on “Music in Motion.”
Deb Campanella chaired a musical “Magic Carpet
Ride,” aided by husband Marty’s slide presentation.
Vocalist Ange Benz opened the program with the
Menken-Rice ballad “A Whole New World” from
the Disney film “Aladdin.” Campanella sang the
art song “Clouds” and Agustin Lara’s “Granada.”
Violinist Betty Hatfield played Enrique Granados’
“Spanish Dance,” plus Lee Meyer’s arrangement of
“Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”
Soprano Carrie Lynn Zerbe took listeners to “Disneyland,” a tune from the Hamlisch/Ashman musical “Smile.” Felicia Thomas and Karol Valek shared

Ed and Jackie
Burek hold the
framed R.O.S.E.
certificate they
received.
The two own Burek Farms in La Porte, a working
farm where they raise animals, corn, soy beans and
vegetables. It gets many visitors during the growing
season because of their fresh vegetables, especially
sweet corn.
This is what the nominator wrote about the service received: “Jackie and Ed Burek are very helpful
and caring folks. They donated produce from their
farm for a dinner for the underprivileged at the Civic Auditorium in La Porte. They are always ready to
give to people in need. They provide food for the local
homeless shelters and food pantries. They are just
absolutely wonderful people.”
Jackie said, “Thanks to those of you that nominated and voted for Eddie and me. It was an honor
to be chosen for this award.”
The couple received a framed certificate, and
each received a rose corsage and $50 bill. They will
be invited to the annual R.O.S.E. luncheon in May
and be nominated for Indiana’s Hoosier Hospitality
Award.

Beginning about one hour before sunset, flocks of
cranes kite into Goose Pasture from all directions.

marshes at dusk.
The cranes are best seen at the Goose Pasture

Stoker’s Manuscript by Royce
Prouty (oversize paperback, $15,
available online and in bookstores;
also available as an eBook)
Sometimes, history gives us a
story that is so fascinating, but with
valuable details lost to time, that it
begs novelization, an opportunity to
put together the known facts with a
plausible storyline.
That’s what we have this week.
We all know Bram Stoker wrote Dracula back in
1897. What you may not know is that the publishing company, with most of Dracula’s first editions,
burned to the ground. Originally titled The Undead, the original manuscript had a prologue and
epilogue that Stoker decided to delete in the second
edition—why?
That’s the historical part. Now here comes Prouty
with a novelization of what might have happened.
Meet Joseph Barkeley, rare manuscript expert.
He and his brother, Bernhardt, were born in Romania and placed in an orphanage after their parents’
deaths. Actually, their father killed their mother,
then took his own life. A benefactor saw a story of
them on the news and brought them to America.
Bernhardt grew up to become a Catholic priest.
Now, Joseph has received a call from Arthur Ardelean, representing a buyer who wants complete
anonymity in the purchase of the original Stoker
manuscript for Dracula, and any accompanying
notes, for a staggering $4 million.
After the deal is struck, Barkeley must accompany the manuscript to Romania and deliver it in person to the buyer. Who is he? He still doesn’t know.
Coincidence that Barkeley was born in Romania
and now finds himself going back there? Hang on to
you seat—the ride is about to get rough...
Castles, strange people and the search for long
dead women all make for an atmospheric, chilly
read. And the mysterious buyer? A member of the
Dracul family—maybe a very old member of the family? Barkeley can’t leave until he deciphers hidden
messages in the manuscript that point to the burial
plot of several Dracul family members. If he doesn’t
prove useful...well, he can’t think about that now.
This story will bury you (no pun intended) in its
haunting, silky, dark prose. I was mesmerized by
the story and couldn’t put it down until the last secret is uncovered. There are several bloody, realistic
scenes that show the treachery, vileness and lack of
human compassion of people dead and undead.
November 5, 2015
From John Edgar Browning, editor of The Forgotten Writings of Bram Stoker: “The first chapter
sucked me in right away—it’s almost impossible not
to keep reading.”

from southern California. This is his first novel.

Nightfall by Jake Halpern
and Peter Kujawinski (hardcover,
$17.99 in bookstores and online; also
available as an eBook)
Night has always been a scary
time for humans. Even after the discovery of fire, then electricity, night
drives imaginations into the deepest, darkest recesses of our minds.
This book feeds on that fear and takes it one step
further...
Welcome to Bliss, an island somewhere in time
(never a timeline mentioned, or even if it’s on
Earth), the only clue to inhabitants’ advancement
is that fire seems to be the only source for light and
cooking. The extraordinary thing about Bliss is that
Day lasts for 14 years and Night for 14 years. So,
when the sun starts to go down, the islanders cross
the ocean to the south where the Desert Lands will
be their home for the next 14 years. The desert has
three days of sunlight followed by three days of
darkness. Quite a strange contrast.
If you can accept these parameters, then you’re
off to a well-written, well-thought out storyline
that, though mainly directed at the teenage audience, might also be of interest to the adult who enjoys fantasy/science-fiction.
Main characters are Line, a 14-year-old boy, and
14-year-old twins Kana and Marin
As the sun recedes, and families line up to board
the boats before the sun disappears, Line goes missing. Kana and Marin think they know where he’s
gone, but can they find him in time to get on the
boat before the Night falls completely? And what
will find them before they find Line?
Another atmospheric, chilly read. I felt the slap
of wet leaves in my face as the teens race through
the forest, and the sting of ice crystals as dusk turns
into the cold, unforgiving Night. The description of
being in utter, complete darkness is, indeed, a scary
proposition. The authors make the Night crawl
around in your brain, and make you understand
what raw fear is all about.
Once you are fully committed to the storyline,
you can’t stop reading. It’s simply addictive! Visit
www.nightfallbook.com
From Kirkus Reviews: “...a fascinating world that
comes to life, full of intriguing monsters...”
Till next time, happy reading!
