Veteran, Educator Named Long Beach Parade Marshal
by Kayla Weiss
Teacher.
Volunteer.
Veteran.
Jim Dry, 93, has devoted his life to his community and his country, which is why Long Beach Civic
Association has named him grand marshal for this
year’s Long Beach July 4th parade.
Originally from Northwest Indiana, Dry was
drafted during World War II into the U.S. Army Air
Corps before he could earn his college degree. He
served with the Air Corps until the war’s end, when
he returned to the United States and his family.
“After the war, we ended up moving back to the
area to be close to my wife’s twin sister and the
rest of her family, which was fine. We needed family close by,” Dry said. “When we moved back to
the area and settled in Long Beach, I went back to
school to get my degree as fast as possible so I could
start teaching the next generations.”
Dry received training in many specialties. After
graduating, he began working many jobs, including
helping out at a family member’s car dealership,
working for Michigan City police and teaching with
Michigan City Area Schools, where he remained un-
til 1981.
“I just loved the challenge of teaching, matching
wits with the kids and seeing them grow,” Dry said.
“And all of the other jobs I didn’t mind working to
help pull in more money. I learned something from
every single one of them, and that allowed my wife
to be able to stay at home for the children.”
One night, Dry recalls, some power lines went
down near their house. He and his wife jumped into
action, grabbing white sheets to use as signals for
unsuspecting drivers. When the Long Beach Fire
Department arrived on the scene, the fire chief was
impressed with how Dry handled the situation, telling him he should come to the next meeting.
Since that night, Dry has continued to volunteer
with the Long Beach Fire Department, now under
the direction of Fire Chief Dave Albers. Dry’s son,
Tim, volunteers as well.
Dry also has been active with the Long Beach
park programs, through which he helped train baseball teams and organize other activities for children
in the area.
Even after retiring from teaching, Dry couldn’t
stay away from education, returning as a substitute

teacher for MCAS. He offered his time and experience to the schools and
students, continuing to
sub up until about three
years ago when he was 90.
Now, he enjoys his leisure time and is an experienced fly-fisher. He
looks forward to being
this year’s parade grand
marshal.
“I’m very honored, and

asked to be the grand
marshal,” he said. “It’s always been a wonderful
family affair in Long Beach, and I look forward to
being a part of it.”

At 84, Frank Casorio Keeps on Strutting
by M.D. Cunningham
“... I keep cruising, can’t stop won’t stop moving.
It’s like I got this music in my mind saying, ‘It’s
gonna be alright.’”
Not many 84-year-olds tap dance, let alone strut
their moves to Taylor Swift.
Long Beach resident Frank Casorio, a constant
in the local theater and arts community, considers
“Shake It Off” a favorite, but rest assured, this singer, actor and dancer’s tastes are as varied and rich
as his talents.
Frank Casorio
still attends
weekly tap
dancing
lessons in
Chicago.
Along with attending weekly tap dancing sessions at Hubbard Street Dance Center in Chicago
with world-renowned dancer Jumaane Taylor, Casorio participates in Zoomba and singing lessons,
the latter in which he sings classical and modern
theater.
It’s all business as usual for Frank, a retired commercial artist with a whimsical nature and humor
as whirling and vibrant as his best steps.
“I look at staying active doing things that I like
to do,” he says. “When the teacher does the choreography (referring to Jumaane Taylor), I feel as if I’m
in New York on Broadway. The younger people are
amazed.”
In 1987, Jon Anderson of The Chicago Tribune
wrote an article about Casorio’s hometown of Highwood, Ill., that describes the “enclave” as a “home to
artisans, gardeners and restaurateurs, a place rich
with its own kind of wealth — flower-hedged homes,
opera scores, bocce ball and homemade wines —
and a flavorful history that reaches back 100 years.”
The enclave was comprised of Italian immigrants
— Casorio’s parents were from Naples — people
known for heavy labor.
“They cut stone, laid brick, finished cement, installed tile, washed clothes, trimmed hedges, planted flowers, delivered groceries and, by many accounts, made the best sausage,” the article stated.
Casorio’s father, Tony, a gardener whose visage
was carved into stone by a local sculpture photographed in the article, was cited as having a trowel
that after tilling dirt at thousands of sites was reduced from an 8-inch tool to just 3.
Casorio remembers his
mother as always wearing
her hair in a bun and an
apron. He jokes that his
own vivaciousness may
be a direct result from her
cooking, which he recalls
as having homemade spaghetti sauce, dandelion
greens and lots of vegetables. And, perhaps, it’s
true his sister, Mary, who
is 91, still leads dance
classes in Florida.
One gets the impression that Casorio is not a
man who spends a great
Frank Casorio, performing in his deal of time reminiscing.
younger days.
Talking about his career
as an award-winning graphic designer, he picks up
a huge portfolio he had not looked at for years.
“My, how time flies,” he said.
After serving as a Naval clerk during the Korean
Conflict, Casorio went to work for The Chicago Tribune after wowing execs with a sketch portfolio he
put together overnight. He still remains partially
active in that niche as a freelance commercial artist — he designed the Lubeznik Center for the Arts
logo — which he started as a young man commuting
back and forth between the city and Highwood on
steam engine trains. His career, along with his rich
array of talents, pay due homage to the rich heritage of his parents and other immigrants like them.
Casorio also enjoys performing as part of Monday Musicale, which pays tribute to all genres and
styles of music,
“Certain people, you get silly with,” he says.
“They magnify the personality you want.”
This community is fortunate to have such a jubilant, talented joker, one who still rises in the middle of the night to teach himself new dance moves.
Indeed, Casorio, and artists like him, have a great
deal to teach us.

Searching for Sharks at Stop 27
Editor’s not — This article was submitted by Patrick Kennedy.
Along the shores of Long Beach in the late 1980s
and early 1990s, a unique and intense game was
being played by a small group of teens and young
adults.
The producers of that game eventually would
give up on their entrepreneurial adventure, but
Long Beach residents Tim and Pat Kennedy, along
with their siblings, would continue to play for years
to come. They eventually involved their high school
friends, Matt and Chris Ruder from Kankakee, Ill.
For another decade, the guys would play at their
universities and gather each summer for countless
games at the beach down the road at Stop 27.
After years of playing the game to the curious
eyes of passersby, the Kennedys and Ruders had
long talked of resurrecting the product.
Fast forward to 2006 when the four now-grown
men decided to finally make it happen. The game,
called Spikeball — initially and now — was reborn.
The rest is history.
And a sweet history it is. Soon, families everywhere will make the game a staple for the backyard
or the beach.
The game is Spikeball. It is a 2-versus-2 hybrid of
volleyball and four-square, with a 360-degree playing court (after the serve). Possession is transferred
with the ball bouncing once off a trampoline-like
net, with each team having up to three hits to get
the ball back onto the net and off to the other team.
Eight years after its introduction to the market,
Spikeball has spread across summer camps, youth
groups, grade schools, college campuses, even locally at La Lumiere School, which soon will boast
being the first official high school program in the
nation.
Utilizing its beautiful campus, La Lumiere students can be seen outside on their sprawling green
space during their free periods or before and after
meals playing, in most cases still in their school uniforms. The camaraderie that it builds, having several games going at one time, has been amazing for
unifying a student community because anyone and
everyone can play the game.
Chris Ruder became CEO and the first and sole
full-time employee of Kankakee Spikeball Inc.,
La Lumiere graduates (from left, facing front) Connor Anthony, Glenview,
Ill., Brian Caplice, Long Beach, Cormac Gahan, St. Joseph, Mich.,
and Will Whalen, La Porte/Long Beach, take a break from
festivities to play a round of Spikeball.
while the other co-owners took on other roles. A few
years into the endeavor, the numbers of players was
growing rapidly. In 2014, there were an estimated
250,000 players, 100 tournaments nationwide and
more than $3 million in sales that year.
There are now eight full-time employees. And
kids of all ages can be seen playing on every type
of surface. Easy to assemble, lightweight to carry,
it’s no wonder beach-going kids and adults alike
have taken to the game. Plus, the parts are guaranteed by the company. The game reborn on the
shores of Long Beach years ago is now available at
www.spikeball.com and on Amazon.com, and can
be seen on shelves in REI, Dick’s Sporting Goods,
Marbles the Brain Store, Brookstone and various
local stores, including Outpost Sports in New Buffalo, Mich.
During the May 15 “Shark Tank” episode, a dramatic give and take kept the viewing audience on
the edge of their couches. Though he withdrew early on, the always-effusive Shark Mark Cuban had
words of praise for Chris Ruder, stating, “You guys
are killing it!”
Eventually, a deal was consummated on the show
between Ruder and Daymond John after a tough
negotiation.
All signs point to the game continuing its expansion. Perhaps there will be a return back to Stop 27
this summer. One thing is for sure: The passersby
will now know the name of the game and the roots
of its refounding here in Michiana.

Setting the Course for Tomorrow’s Leaders
by Janet Baines
As part of Michigan City Police Department’s summer youth leadership camp, Michigan City Area
Schools students in grades six through eight participated in a fun round of golf cart time trials on
Wednesday, June 24, in the Galveston Steakhouse parking area. The experience included some cone
crunching, jerky driving, tight curves, sirens and plenty of laughter. The youth also learned about police
vehicle inspections and Segways.

The Art of Capturing Beauty
by Andrew Holt
Page 47
▲
I’ve lived in Michigan City my entire life. I grew
up seeing Washington Park Zoo’s observation tower
triumphantly rise over the hills opposite Blue Chip
Casino, the lighthouse framed by a thousand sunsets behind Chicago.
Taking these sights for granted, it may not come
as a surprise that I couldn’t wait to hightail it out
of town the moment I graduated from high school
and never look back. Thankfully, that never happened. I attended Purdue University-North Central
and gained a newfound appreciation for my home
through its beauty.
Michigan City has been defined by and recognized for its picturesque view of the lake, framed
by its most iconic feature: the Michigan City lighthouse. It is a source of pride — instant recognition
for many people in our town. It has become so ubiquitous, it graces Michigan City’s official town seal.
There are people, however, who don’t settle for
just factoids and history. Each evening at sunset,

you can find them determined to capture the perfect image. What I learned from them, these ardent, immensely talented photographers, makes
me better appreciate not only their talents, but
also the natural wonders of my hometown.
This journey for me began back in late February when I meet with Patrick Landers on a frigid
Sunday afternoon. He was set up with his tripod
and camera on the frozen beach, photographing
the ice shelf extending far out into the lake. He
was bundled head to toe in cold weather gear to
protect himself from the arctic conditions. I, on
the other hand, came relatively unprepared: a
heavy jacket and little else. While the trip wasn’t
fruitful in terms of how much time I spent with
him, I did catch a glimpse into how he, and the

Northwest Indiana, and
the trees once again
have leaves. I met up
with Robb Quinn, a good
friend of Patrick’s. In
fact, I met with both of
them this time, in the
same spot where I stood
with Patrick four months
earlier. The two are such
good friends, there is
no element of competition between the two. On
this day, they were photographing a storm as it
passed almost silently
into Michigan, raining
down as a monolith of
haze across the border.
This time, I stayed for
several hours, talking
with and getting to know
these men for who they
are, and what drives them to the beach each evening to photograph the vista, which we’ll get to later
in this article.
The next photographer I met with is Jan Hoeppner, who has a special link to the lighthouse. She
and her husband volunteer at Michigan City’s Old
Lighthouse Museum, where she has become something of a historian on the subject of Michigan City’s
various navigational aids throughout the years. It
was through her that I learned the most from about
the lighthouse’s history.
When we first touched base, I asked Hoeppner
if we could meet at the lighthouse so I could learn
her process and ask questions. It was then I learned
from her that Michigan City’s lighthouse isn’t actually called the lighthouse, but the “pier light” by
those who work at the museum as historians. The
reason is that the museum, located inland from the
pier light across the marina and on a hill overlooking Trail Creek, is the current installation’s predecessor: the actual lighthouse. A cursory Internet
search supports this. Pier light (hereafter referred
to as the lighthouse to avoid confusion) even has
its own wikipedia page under “Michigan City East
Light,” detailing in brief the history of navigational
aids in La Porte County.
The last photographer I met with is William Anthony. He runs a local photography studio, inviting
me to see it before heading to the beach to demonstrate his method. His lobby is filled with wedding
photos, graduation and senior photos, as well as his
work with cityscapes and, of course, the lake. He
ushered me into his office after a brief conversation
about his work. If his lobby was an art gallery, then
his office is a museum. An entire wall is covered
from top to bottom with shelves, each one filled with

antique cameras of all shapes, designs and colors. I
saw early bellows cameras from the 1800s, as well
as early “disposable” cameras you could send in to
Kodak to have developed and reloaded with film for
what even then was a small amount of money. Sitting on a small side table was a Civil War-era wooden contraption called a stereoscope, an early device
THE
July 2, 2015
Page 49
for seeing images in three-dimensions, along with
cards you could load into it to view. Many of them
were portraits that captured, wittingly or not, the
culture of the time. On another wall, he had photos
he took of the set of the third “Transformers” film
in Chicago. Along another wall were photos taken
from all across the U.S., and, incidentally, the lighthouse. After getting the tour, I got a firsthand lesson
on how professional photographers hone their craft.
Jan Hoeppner prefers to rest against something solid while taking photos.
William Anthony always heads out in the evening to take photos at
Michigan City’s lakefront.
My trip to the beach involved Anthony teaching
me all about the science of his work and how things
are done.
“If you come out with me, you’re getting a lesson,”
he told me.
We were at the beach for hours, where he taught
me how to operate a camera in low light conditions
to get the most out of a nighttime shot. When photographing the lake at night, I learned to keep the
shutter open for longer to gather “all of the light
that I do not see,” resulting in pictures that are
significantly brighter and more intense than what
you actually see. A side effect of this process is that
anything that moves in the cameras frame isn’t captured in the final product. The lake will always look
calm, as if there are no waves. People on the pier
will disappear, as if the beach is completely abandoned. Probably the coolest thing of all is, you can
walk in front of the camera, wave, then walk out
and the camera will not pick up any of it. The reason for this is pure physics. Depending on how fast
you move, the camera will not have enough time to
pick up your movements and the photograph it produces will be the background, sans you.
Not every photographer uses the same methods.
Hoeppner, for example, doesn’t use tripods, instead opting to prop her elbow up against some stur-
dy feature within her surroundings to stabilize the
shot. Quinn and Anthony never leave home without
big bags filled with different lenses. The two always
head out in the evening, only when changes in the
weather hint at the possibility of fantastic photos.
Once on the lakefront, they move around a lot, from
the beach, to the pier to the lighthouse itself. They
remain there for as long as what they see captivates
them.
“If there’s an opportunity at 2 in the morning,
them I’m out at 2 in the morning,” Landers said.
Back 20 or so years ago, photographers would
make prints of their photos and share them with
friends. These days, social media, specifically facebook, is the quickest, most satisfying means to share
the fruits of their labor with family and friends. For
example, anyone who is facebook friends with these
photographers is frequently treated to a dazzling
array of images from the city’s lakefront.
“It (facebook) gets your name out there without
having a dedicated website,” Landers said. “People
know who I am, and they look forward to seeing my
shots.”
These photographers also find beauty in other
things as well. In addition to capturing the Michigan City Lighthouse, Hoeppner loves to photograph
nature and her family. Quinn loves lighthouses. For
him, it’s more the journey to the site than actually
the act of photographing it once he’s there, although
photography is always going to be his passion.
Why do they do it? Landers puts it quite nicely.
“(The Lighthouse) is what the city stands for,” he
said.
So the next time you find yourself at the beach,
take a look at the lighthouse and contemplate it for
a moment. It’s a treasure, a jewel we should all be
proud of.

from an estimated 2.5 million in 1776 to more than
320 million today. The tradition of having fireworks
on the Fourth of July started with the signing of the
Declaration of Independence.
In a letter to his wife, Abigail, on July 3, 1776,
John Adams, wrote “the signing of the Declaration of Independence should be a great anniversary
festival and solemnized with pomp and parade,
with shews (old-fashioned word for shows), games,
sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from
one end of the continent to the other from this time
forward forever more.”
That tradition continues today and in many
neighborhoods well past the Fourth of July.
Many surrounding communities have fireworks
displays, and not all on the Fourth of July. I remember as a young boy my family would climb up to the
flat roof over our porch on Manhattan Street and
watch the aerial display in Washington Park.
I remember the huge 3-foot-long sparklers my father would buy us. They were for a time almost as
tall as me. All of the neighborhood kids were outside at dusk, catching fireflies, playing with their
sparklers, while some of the older neighbors shot off
fireworks.
I feel obligated as a retired Michigan City firefighter to remind everyone to be careful shooting off
fireworks. Don’t let children use fireworks unsupervised. More than 1,200 injuries are reported because
of fireworks mishaps. Have fun, but be careful.
Last July 4, more than 74 million people gathered to cook out, play games like Whiffle Ball,
horseshoes, volleyball, bean bags and, if they still
can find them, my families favorite, lawn darts/
Jarts. Many families go camping, while some spend
the day at the ballpark. When my family all lived in
Michigan City, the Fourth of July was a day/nightlong party with plenty of games. The winners had
bragging rites until Labor Day.
Since then, Whiffle Ball has become a day-long
Sliders.
competition between all the guys at our house: me,
sons Jim and Robert, and grandson Cody, sometimes even my wife, Sue.
I remember playing Whiffle Ball as a youngster.
After the ball cracked, we would use tape to keep it
together. After a while, it was just an orb of tape,
not much fun to get hit with, but we played on.
Summer months offer the opportunity to shop at
nearby orchards. Sue likes to get fresh vegetables
and fruit.
The Fourth of July also marks the middle of grilling season. Every family has at least one grillmaster, as well as their own great family traditions and
recipes. Don’t forget to be safe over the Fourth of
July by practicing safety when it comes to your food.
You need to keep your cold foods cold and your hot
foods hot. If you are finished, put the food away.
Don’t let it sit out in the heat. Remember to not use
a grill brush to clean your grill. Those tiny bristles
can come off and be ingested, a painful way to celebrate the Fourth of July.
It is estimated 150 million hot dogs will be consumed, along with 750 million pounds of chicken on
July 4. If all of the hot dogs consumed on the Fourth
could be placed end to end, they would stretch from
Washington, D.C., all the way to Los Angeles.
Side dishes abound at most cookouts. Some are
old favorite family recipes passed down, while others are from creative people who like to try new
things. I like to stick with the tried and true.
At our family cookouts, everyone liked my mother’s baked beans. She also made three-bean salad.
My family likes my potato salad. I think potato salad is a staple at most cookouts. My family prefers
macaroni and cheese, sliders and mini pulled pork
or sloppy joes.
Nothing beats sweet corn at a cookout. I remember when our grandson, Cody, was just a little tyke,
he called it “bone corn.” He would eat six or seven
ears of it. The only reason he would stop eating corn
was to save room for his favorite fruit: strawberries.
Macaroni & cheese.

There will be all sorts of great summertime foods
to test your will power. It’s OK to indulge. You can
cut back tomorrow. It’s the Fourth of July. Enjoy
yourself.
What is a cookout without some great summer
desserts? Strawberries, blueberries, watermelon
and more. Cakes, brownies, cookies, cheese cake,
apple and cherry crisps and, of course, ice cream.
Fruit salads are great on a hot summer day. You
can make a fresh fruit salad with strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. I prefer a fruit salad made
with apples, bananas, grapes (red and green), oranges, pineapple and strawberries. A mixed melon
dessert with all the different types of melons makes
a colorful addition to your barbecue table.
Our dessert table reminds us of Thanksgiving
and Christmas. Cannoli cheese cake, brownies,
chocolate chip cookies, Italian ices and, of course,
ice cream are always on the menu.
I have a few simple recipes for making gelato with
only three ingredients. Place 2 pounds of strawberries (cleaned and sliced) or peaches (skin and pit
removed) in your food processors and process until
they are smooth. If you like chunks of fruit in your
gelato, do not process as long. When the fruit is at
the consistency you want, add 1/2 cup of sugar and

blend. Add one small carton of whipped cream into
the food processor and blend until it is a uniform
color. If you want it a little creamier, you can add
1/2 cup more cream. Take it out of the food processor
and place it in your ice cream maker per manufacturers directions, or in a glass dish and place it in
your freezer until firm. This is a simple recipe, and
the taste is way better than what you can buy in the
store.
Canolli cheese cake.
If you do not have an ice cream maker or really don’t want to make ice cream, you can make
these easy ice cream sandwiches with your favorite
store-bought ice cream. Prepare some Rice Krispy
treats, then slice some Neapolitan ice cream to fit
the squares. Wrap them in foil and place them in
the freezer for later. Make sure you make the Rice
Krispy Treats just a tad thinner than normal so
people can fit them in their mouths. If you are feeling extra patriotic, cut the Rice Krispy squares into
star shapes with a cookie cutter.
The Fourth of July is a time to have some fun
with family and friends. Here’s wishing you a happy
and safe Fourth of July.
Until next time, enjoy.

Dunebrook’s Dragon Boat Race Returning to Stone Lake
The thrill of dragon boat racing will return to
La Porte’s Stone Lake on Saturday, Sept. 12, when
Dunebrook hosts its second Dragon Boat Races, the
first heat kicking off at 9 a.m.
“We are thrilled that our community is again
embracing Dunebrook’s Dragon Boat Races with
such enthusiasm and participation,” Dragon Boat
Co-Chair Tim Gartland said. “Last year’s inaugural race proved to be an exciting day for teams and
spectators alike, and this year’s race promises to be
bigger and better.”
Dragon boat racing is an ancient Chinese sport
rapidly gaining popularity in the U.S. The canoelike vessels are adorned with a dragon head and
tail on the bow and stern. Teams of 16-20 paddlers
row in unison to a drummer who helps them stay
in time. A steerer is provided to help paddlers stay
on course. Ages 13 and older of all skill levels and
physiques can participate.
“Spectators can enjoy child-friendly activities and
food vendors as they cheer on their favorite team,”
Event Co-Chairman Ted Perzanowski said. “This is
a family-friendly event, and is free to attend.”
A new feature is Hoosier (Who’s Your) Competition. The website, www.dunebrook.org, will showcase a short bio of the teams and highlight who they
are and why they are racing.
The reigning dragon boat champ is City of La
Porte/#Hub of Awesome.
The cost begins at $75 per paddler. Sponsorships
are available. Registration is due by July 31. Contact Pam at Dunebrook at (800) 897-0007 or email
[email protected]. Visit www.dunebrook.
org, or follow Dunebrook on facebook and twitter for
more information about the races.

Old School Run
Running Art at Old School
Running art by Hal Higdon will be featured during the July 4 weekend, timed to coincide with the
Old School 5-K Run, at the Long Beach Old School
Community Center.
Runners can view the paintings as they register
for the race at 7 a.m.
The art serves as a departure by Higdon, a step
away from traditional art. He describes it as “WalmArt” because the painting begins with an iPhone image sent to Walmart to be printed on a box canvas.
Start the Fourth of July with a bang!
Run (or walk) 5 Kilometers (about 3 miles), beginning
at 7:00 A.M. at the Old School. The event will follow
a scenic course through Long Beach and Long Beach
Cove.
No advance entry needed or accepted: Just show up
in your running gear ready to go! There will also be
a short-distance running event around the parking lot
for children.
The $5.00 entry fee will be used to support Long
Beach Community Center activities. This is a low-key
event with no prizes, but everyone who finishes will
receive an award certificate featuring the drawing of
the Old School above and a t-shirt.

One of Hal Higdon’s works.
“When I order prints, Walmart always warns me
in a pop-up box that the image is blurred, but I want
that,” he said. “I don’t want a precise image.”
It usually takes Walmart 10 days to ship the canvas to the artist, carefully packaged through Federal Express. Higdon then modifies the image using
acrylic paints and ink pens. The result is what is
known as mixed media.
The half dozen paintings exhibited during the
Old School Run are only a harbinger of more running art, planned for a scheduled show at the Cultural Center at Ponte Vedra, Fla. For the next six
months, Higdon plans to produce a dozen more examples of Walm-Art. The show in Long Beach, thus,
serves as an introduction and a beginning.

It’s time to start gathering old tires and electronics because Friends of New Troy is offering its annual E-Waste and Scrap Tire collection from 9 a.m. to
2 p.m. EDT Saturday, July 11, in the shared parking lot of New Troy Community Center and Weesaw
Township Park, located at 13372 California Road.
FONT has joined forces for the event with Green
Earth Electronics Recycling and DeerPath Recyclers. Accepted e-waste includes anything with a
battery or cord, such as computers, monitors, TVs,
VHS/DVD players, refrigerators, air conditioners,
cameras and batteries. Most of these items will be
recycled for free. A hazardous waste fee will be collected for CRT monitors ($5) and tube TVs ($10).
Following collection, all hard drives will be wiped to
Department of Defense specifications or shredded.
A small disposal fee will be charged for tires. Tire
fees are even lower this year than in 2014, when
they were reduced from 2013. According to event
organizer Janna Riley, the new fees are the result
of FONT receiving a Department of Environmental
Quality grant to subsidize the tire recycling.
Fees can be paid in cash or by check made out
to Friends of New Troy. The organization does not
keep the money; it is paid to the two recycling companies. Donations to FONT are welcome and will be
used to help fund the township’s regular recycling
program.
Contact Riley, FONT’s Recycling Committee
chairwoman, at (773) 275-1514 or [email protected] for more information or to volunteer at the
event.

Dig the Dunes and Michigan City Mainstreet
Association will unite to present a Bike Rally and
Scavenger Hunt at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 1.
Check-in is at 8:30 a.m. Bikers will register as
teams or be assigned a team, and receive a set of
clues that will send them out into Michigan City
and the surrounding areas to find landmarks and
hidden treasures. Once reaching a location, they
will snap a photo in front of it. After discovering a
set amount of clues, they then race back to the finish line, where they can recharge with food from

Porte Hospital Family Chapel, 1007 Lincolnway.
Travis King, 22, is the son of Steve and Kathy
King and a 2011 graduate of La Porte High School,
where he was involved in the Project Search Program. It’s a partnership between the school and
hospital in which students with cognitive or developmental challenges are assigned to work in different areas of the hospital to learn job skills. King

In Memoriam
Frederick M. Bransfield (Miller), 84, passed
away peacefully in his home on Monday, June 8,
2015.
He and his wife, Traute,
would have celebrated their
32nd wedding anniversary
in July. Before he retired
because of health reasons,
he actively and successfully
lead and guided his company in Chicago, and the two
spent time between Chicago
and Long Beach. He loved
looking forward to relaxing
in his beautiful yard and swim in the pool.
He enjoyed sports: watching his beloved White
Sox, watching the football games of his alma mater,
Notre Dame, the Chicago Blackhawks and Green
Bay Packers, the Kentucky Derby and Triple Crown
races. He was a champion handball player at the
old Chicago Athletic Club, and a competitive tennis
player. He enjoyed playing golf with friends at Long
Beach Country Club and a member of “The Prairie
Dogs,” a fun Chicago group of golf buddies, some of
them kindergarten and grade-school friends.
He was one of the first men to jog in the area, and
loved walking along the water’s edge to the lighthouse. He loved music, opera, symphony, contemporary plays and movies.
He was the loving father of: Susan, (Barbara);
Miller, (Stephanie); Marjorie; Michael, (Alison);
Mark, (Ashley); grandchildren, Russell, Astor, Luca,
Clementine, Dashielle; loving friend of Traute’s children, Michael, (Paula); Kathy, (Ed); Stephen, (Janice); and grandchildren, Becky, Dillon, Ben (Nicci),
Faye, (Arthur), Stryder and Nika; and great-grandchildren, Michael and Payton.

for the Arts, 540 S. Lake St., Gary, with an opening
reception from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, July 17.

The exhibit anticipates and leads up to three anniversaries in 2016: the 50th anniversary of Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore; the centennial of
the National Park Service; and the centennial of the
Indiana State Park System. It will feature works
by Corey Hagelberg, Lora Fosberg and La Porte’s
Laura Marie Panozzo, whose work and media approach the subject of the dunes from multiple perspectives. The show features not only images of the
dunes, but also works that actively engage viewers
with preservation issues. They explore the social
history of the dunes, how the dunes landscape has
been integral to the region’s development and how
their preservation has become a central element in
thinking about the area’s future sustainability.
Several related programs are scheduled that emphasize the connection between art, science and
community that helped preserve the dunes:
• A panel discussion with all three artists, “Art,
Ecology and Happenings in the Dunes,” from 1 to
3 p.m. Sunday, July 26, in the gallery. The artists
will be joined by Paul Labovitz, Indiana Dunes
National Lakeshore superintendent; Laura Brennan, Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore biological science technician; Nicole Barker, Save the
Dune executive director; and Paul Labus, Program Director for Northwest Indiana at the Nature Conservancy.
• Tibetan Monks from the Drepung Gomang Monastery in India will hold a “Sacred Arts Tour” on
Aug. 1-8 at the gallery. They will create a sand
mandala and conduct art workshops inside the
gallery.
“Saving the Dunes: Artists’ Paths” is curated by
Rachel Weiss, Kay Rosen and Barker.

Beach Garden Club
The Beach Garden Club is in full swing with
meetings, plantings and caring for garden areas in
the beach area, as well as volunteer gardening.
The opening meeting for 2015 was held April 23
at the Long Beach Community Center. President
Rima Binder welcomed guest speaker Brad Hinsley, owner and chef of La Porte’s Spire Farm-toFork Restaurant. He discussed the concept behind
the restaurant, which uses food grown and raised
within a 250-mile radius.
The annual Founder’s Day Luncheon was held
May 28 at Long Beach Country Club. The guest
speaker was Paul Labovitz, superintendent of Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore who’s also involved
in Chicago’s Pullman Park Project.
Labovitz shared his enthusiasm for serving the
National Park Service, reminding the group of the
many travelers who visit the area. He discussed
ranger-guided visits to Mount Baldy this summer.
He also is excited to be part of the new Pullman
Park in Chicago, which has historic ties to the area.

Red Skelton’s Pledge of Allegiance
ORIENTAL PEARL RESTAURANT
Best Chinese Food in Town
Back in the early days of television, Hoosier native
Red Skelton varied his popular comedy show one
evening by presenting his own reading of the Pledge
of Allegiance. His rendering of the Pledge became so
popular that it was read into the Congressional
Record, and Columbia Records issued a single of Red
reading the Pledge. Burger King even passed out a
recording as a promotional tool. The hugely popular
comedian passed away in 1997, but he left evidence
of what his opinion was over the future fate of the
Pledge of Allegiance. Here is Red Skelton’s original
version of the Pledge with accompanying commentary:

“I - - Me; an individual; a committee of one.
Pledge - - Dedicate all of my worldly goods to give
without self-pity.
Allegiance - - My love and my devotion.
To the Flag - - Our standard; Old Glory; a symbol
of Freedom; wherever she waves there is respect,
because your loyalty has given her a dignity that
shouts, Freedom is everybody’s job.
United - - That means that we have all come
together.
States - - Individual communities that have
united into forty-eight great states. Forty-eight individual communities with pride and dignity and
purpose. All divided with imaginary boundaries, yet
united to a common purpose, and that is love for
country.
And to the Republic - - Republic—a state in
which sovereign power is invested in representatives
chosen by the people to govern. And government is
the people; and it’s from the people to the leaders,
not from the leaders to the people.
For which it stands
One Nation - - One Nation—meaning, so blessed
by God.
Indivisible - - Incapable of being divided.
With Liberty - - Which is Freedom; the right of
power to live one’s own life, without threats, fear, or
some sort of retaliation.
And Justice - - The principle, or qualities, of dealing fairly with others.
For All - - For All—which means, boys and girls,
it’s as much your country as it is mine.
“And now, boys and girls, let me hear you recite
the Pledge of Allegiance:
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States
of America, and to the Republic, for which it stands;
one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for
all.
“Since I was a small boy, two states have been
added to our country, and two words have been added
to the Pledge of Allegiance: Under God.
Wouldn’t it be a pity if someone said that is a prayer,
and that would be eliminated from schools, too?”

Notre Dame Shakespeare Festival has announced
an expanded 2015 “Beyond the Stage” series that
features backstage access and conversations with
the artists.
All programs, which cost $10, are in the Philbin
Studio Theatre in the DeBartolo Performing Arts
Center. Tickets are $10.
The series kicks off with “Explore Love’s Labor’s
Lost” at 7:30 p.m. EDT Wednesday, July 8.
Director West Hyler, whose
career ranges from Broadway
to Cirque du Soleil, and members of the NDSF Young Company will offer a glimpse at

That includes a conversation
with Hyler, highlights from
the production performed by Young Company members and audience Q&A.

Austin Tichenor
Martin and Tichenor are the writer-director team

continents, at the White House, The Kennedy Center and as part of China’s Wuzhen International

first time in more than 27 years.
“Explore The Winter’s Tale” with director Drew
Fracher is at 6, 6:30 and 7 p.m. EDT Wednesday,
Aug. 8.
Guests will tour behind-the-scenes and meet the
creative teams. The hour-long event begins with
Fracher in conversation with 2015 NDSF actor
Wendy Robie. Fracher has worked throughout the
Midwest’s most prominent regional theaters and on
Broadway. Robie is best known as Nadine (with her
eye patch) in David Lynch’s “Twin Peaks.” Guests
then will see the set, visit the costume shop and
learn about the creative process.

Preamble to the
Declaration of Independence
July 4, 1776
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve
the political bands which have
connected them with another,
and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and
equal station to which the laws
of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires
that they should declare the causes which impel
hem to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident: That
all men are created equal, that they are endowed
by their Creator with certain unalienable rights,
that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness; that, to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among men, deriving their
just powers from the consent of the governed;
that, whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of
the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on
such principles, and organizing its powers in such
form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect
their safety and happiness.
From the Declaration of
Independence (July 4, 1776)

If there is a country in the world where concord, according to common calculation, would be
least expected, it is America. Made up, as it is, of
people from different nations, accustomed to different forms and habits of government, speaking
different languages, and more different in their
modes of worship, it would appear that the union
of such a people was impracticable. But by the
simple operation of constructing government on
the principles of society and the rights of man,
every difficulty retires, and the parts are brought
into cordial unison.

“Big Enough To Serve You…

Prayer to the
Blessed Virgin
(Never known to fail.)
Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine,
splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of
God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity.
Oh, Star of the ‘Sea, help me and show me, herein
you are my mother. Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech
you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in
this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show
me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for
us who have recourse to thee (3x). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your
hands (3x). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that
I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget
all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me. I
want in this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once
again that I never want to be separated from you in Eternal Glory. Thank
you for your mercy toward me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3
consecutive days. After 3 days, the request will be granted. This prayer must
be published after the favor is granted.

Star Island by Carl Hiaasen (paperback, $8; available in bookstores, online and as an eBook)
Hands down, Carl Hiaasen is the
king of characters, and this story
proves it in spades. Take this one along
to the beach or pool — it’s a great summer read.
There is so much going on in this
book, I don’t know where to begin!
Characters (with a capital C) abound
in this ocean of strange and exotic creatures, all moving in, out and around of
each other’s lives--and not always in a
good way.
Let’s start at the beginning...
Pop singer Cherry Pye (such an angelic sounding name--not!) is in trouble, once again. Is it the booze? The drugs? The
men? Who knows. Probably all of the above. As she
is being smuggled out of a Florida hotel.
“Inside a chauffeured black Suburban, racing
across the MacArthur Causeway toward Jackson
Memorial Hospital, a performer known as Cherry
Pye was retching loudly into a silver-plated ice bucket. Her real name was Cheryl Bunterman...”
Next to her in the car is her mother, Janet Bunterman, who always excuses her daughter’s sicknesses
as gastritis or the onset of cold or flu. Hah. What an
enabler. But then, the seven-figure advance for her
daughter’s singing and concert contract is of tantamount importance to her, her husband and Cherry’s
three lazy brothers.
To top things off, our Cherry can’t sing any better than the neighbor’s cat, so she had to learn to
lip-synch (and that took some learning on her part).
What Cherry does have to make her a mediocre
hit is Cherry herself: beautiful blonde hair, long legs
and a lifestyle just made for paparazzi to immortalize. And a pair of very smart publicists — twins
named Lucy and Lila Lark, a pair of spin doctors
extraordinaire.
And we can’t forget their manager, Maury Lykes,
sleazy but skillful at his job, orchestrating Cherry’s
career while trying to get everyone to keep her off
the drugs and boy toys. To that end, he hires a bodyguard, one leaving as the story begins. It seems
Cherry had him wrapped around her finger...
What a group! And all in the name of fame and
fortune. But there’s one more person in this strange
“family” --probably the only sane one...
Her name is Ann DeLusia, an actress who bears
a striking resemblance to Cherry.
The Buntermans quietly hire her to be Cherry’s
double, a stand-in for appearances when Cherry is
July 2, 2015
“under the weather,” or to be a diversion when the medics are called in to
take care of her “gastritis.” Thing is, the
Buntermans don’t want to upset their
little girl, so Cherry doesn’t know of
Ann’s part in this insane world.
Of course, there is the matter of hiring a new bodyguard. Cherry wants a
hunk with six-pack abs to make her
look good (and feel good, too, when the
mood strikes her), but Maury is looking
for someone immune to her charms and
able to keep her in line. What he finds
is a 7-foot freaky looking ex-con nicknamed Chemo who lost his left hand in
an accident. The prosthesis is a metal
piece fitted with a lethal-looking weed
whacker at the end run by a battery
pack strapped to his side. Adding to this mental image, his face is a mass of crumpled-up skin due to
bad surgery by a doctor who mysteriously vanished
soon after.
Chemo is certainly not what Cherry wants, but
this time, her wishes are ignored for her own good.
A concert tour is coming up, and she must be clean
and sober or the whole Cherry Pye organization will
go down the tubes.
You want more? I can give you more! Remember,
Hiassen is the king of character making. He is spoton in giving us the inside scope of a disaster in the
making. Disaster is what is coming in the form of
two more men crucial to the story...
Our main paparazzo is “Bang” Abbott, a slob with
a camera and cell phone full of contacts telling him
of the latest star sightings. He’s hot on Cherry’s
trail and willing to do anything for the big photo
story that could set him up for life.
There’s also a real-estate developer con man and
the unhinged former governor of Florida who both
wind up in the wacky world of Cherry Pye.
This story will have you hooting out loud and
wondering if anyone will come out of it alive. Life in
the fast lane...unbelievable.
Not surprising, Carl Hiaasen was born and raised
in Florida. His website is www.carlhiassen.com
Till next time, happy reading!
