International Friendship Gardens Celebrates 80th Anniversary
by William Halliar
“The earth laughs
in flowers.”
So said poet and philosopher Ralph Waldo
Emerson, and who could deny the joy a beautiful garden brings
to a soul open to wonder?
Michigan City’s International Friendship Gardens is, indeed,
a wonder, and a gift to the people of Michigan City, the state
and the world, dedicated as a celebration of peace through natural beauty and the arts.
The butterfly

popular attraction

The gardens began with a dream 80 years ago,
and now, because of talented and dedicated volunteers who’ve donated heart and soul, sweat and
treasure, it is as beautiful and fresh as ever.
This year, the gardens has a new board of directors, all of whom are excited about the possibilities
of the next 80 years. As they frame their plans, they
envision their work as a legacy, and a gift, to future
generations.
The story of the gardens begins in 1933 at
Chicago’s World’s Fair.
“A Century of Progress,”
it was called, and it celebrated 100 years of history in the “City of Big
Shoulders.”
Three brothers, Virgil,
Joe and Clarence Stauffer,
owners of a nursery in
Hammond, Ind., were

“International
Friendship Garden.”
Dr. Frank Warren and his wife, land developers
and founders of Pottawattamie Park and the Warren Clinic in Michigan City, visited the fair. They
met the Stauffers and were inspired by their vision
of a permanent garden after the fair, one dedicated
to peace and friendship.
Embracing the brothers’ dream, the Warrens invited them to Michigan City and leased to them a
portion of their land holdings along Trail Creek for
99 years for the sum of $1 a year so the brothers
could build their dream.

The Stauffer brothers were an unusual and talented family that grew up on an Indiana farm. Virgil was an opera singer, Joe an engineer and Clarence a banker, developer and inventor.
The land they received to build their garden had
a storied history. It was here the Potawatomi Indians fished, hunted and danced to the rhythm of
their hide drums. Here also, Father Pierre Marquette blessed a spring that still exists in the gardens, while Chicago’s first resident, Jean Baptiste
Du Sable, once called the land his home.
royal gardener. The King of Persia sent plants for
the first rose garden. Many other governments lent
support with seeds, plants and statuary.
While the world struggled to throw off a global
depression and Europe was enveloped in war, this
small piece of land celebrated peace among nations.
Its creation and mission struck a chord that garnered worldwide support. It is no wonder so many
dignitaries from around the world have visited it
over the years, most recently Paulina Kapuscinska,
consulate general of the Republic of Poland in 2013.
Clarence Stauffer founded the International
Friendship Gardens Music Festivals Inc. in 1946.
At the time, he did not apply for government grants
because he feared external influence on his enterprise. Instead, he and his brothers sponsored the
gardens themselves, selling their own property, if
necessary, to fund the gardens.
Richard and Jeanne Houck have carried on the legacy
of the gardens established by the Stauffer brothers.

The gardens officially opened in the spring of 1935.
Amid manicured lawns and flowing streams could
be found gardens featuring nationalistic themes,
including statuary, bells and flora reminiscent of
many countries of the world. British, American,
Persian and Polish gardens were the first to open,
followed by German, Swedish, Norwegian, Italian
and many others. The brothers, each contributing
his own unique talent, fashioned the gardens out of
rough forest, field and swamp. They recruited many
volunteers and gained the support of various heads
of state from around the world to bring a sampling
of the world’s beauty to one small 105-acre plot in
Northwest Indiana. Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands donated 200,000 tulip bulbs to the garden.
King George V of England donated plants and a
The land continued to grow and prosper over the
years. The Stauffer brothers, who gave so much of
their spirit to bring the gardens into being, died,
Clarence being the last in 1986 at the age of 100.
They passed their love of the gardens onto Dr. Richard Houck and his wife, Imogene (Jeanne), who
created a board of directors to help oversee the operation. In 1995, the gardens became a public, nonprofit organization.
Jeanne Houck retired from the board for health
reasons, but it continued to plan, and the gardens
flourished under the direction of Barry Criswell,
then the late Tammy Steinhagen. Today, Richard
Houck remains board president, while first vice
president John Leinweber has taken over fundraising and second vice president Oleif Olsaker handles
the grounds.

Young dancers are among the highlights of the
annual Polish Festival at the gardens.
Native American heritage is celebrated in one
corner of the gardens and includes a wigwam, garden and drum circle. Here, students can watch demonstrations of primitive cooking and sample Native
American dishes while hearing stories of life in the
region when it was home to many Indian tribes.
Another popular education program is the Maple
Sugar Camp held each March. The sugar maples in
the garden are tapped, and students sample fresh
maple syrup while learning the process to produce it.
The Polish Festival in the fall draws huge crowds
eager to sample its culture and cuisine.
Over the years, hundreds of weddings — some
small and intimate, some with hundreds of guests
— have taken place in the gardens. A wedding coor-

dinator is supplied to make sure everything turns
out according to plans.
Today, the gardens continues its mission to “enrich
the community through programs that promote environmental stewardship and appreciation of the arts.”
The members are proud of their achievements
over the years and welcome all to not just the gardens, but also the 50 acres of wooded trails that
wind through vistas of amazing beauty.
From the beginning, the gardens were dedicated
to not only botanical beauty, preservation and education, but also to support the arts, which explains
why it’s become a venue for musical and theatrical
performances. It is the plan of the present board to

increase these performances and add to opportunities for educational experiences.
Each year, for example, the gardens hosts the
Lyric Opera of Chicago concert that offers a preview
of the coming season. Shakespearean performances
also are part of the annual tradition at the gardens.
Fifty acres of wooded trails exist on the gardens.
Lyric Opera of Chicago performers entertain audiences each year
with a preview of the upcoming season.
Jude Rakowski has been a dedicated
volunteer at the gardens over the years.
On July 11, the gardens will present Johnzo West
& the Wayward Souls in concert. West was featured
in the Miley Cyrus hit single “You’re Gonna Make
Me Lonesome When You Go.” Tickets are available
at www.friendshipgardens.org
For Leinweber, an energetic entrepreneur from
Chicago, he has only recently fallen under the spell
of the gardens’ beauty. He works with a board of directors filled with ideas for revitalizing the garden.
The plan is to bring it back to its former glory and
beyond. Already, under his leadership, the membership of the gardens has doubled.
With renewed vitality, the new board is excited
about the direction it is taking. The hope is to build
a new educational building — the project is in the
planning stages — and pave some of the walking
paths to make them more accessible to bicyclists.
Leinweber stresses the goal is to make the historic gardens a destination on Lake Michigan’s southern shore, not only for the botanic beauty, but also
as a grand entertainment venue.

One of the earliest paintings in the Joseph Winterbotham collection is Henri
de Toulouse-Lautrec’s “Equestrienne: At the Circus Fernando” (1888).
Among the first of those forward-looking individuals was Joseph Winterbotham, whose family made
its original fortune here in Michigan City as manufacturers of barrels.
In 1921, Winterbotham made the then-huge gift
of $50,000 to the Art Institute “for the purchase
of works of art painted by European artists of foreign subjects.” The terms of his gift delegated the
selection of works to the Art Institute’s trustees

by Picasso, Matisse, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Cezanne,
Modigliani and most importantly Seurat’s monumental “A Sunday on La Grande Jatte.” In 1926,
the Art Institute displayed the entire Helen Birch
Bartlett Memorial Collection in one gallery, a practice now to be repeated with the Edlis-Neeson gift of
20th century American art.
The deaths of prominent art collectors Mrs. Potter Palmer (in 1922) and Mrs. Lewis L. Coburn (in
1932) brought the Art Institute many of its French
Impressionist paintings, which had been spurned
by official Parisian art circles, but gained wide popularity in midwestern America, among everyday
Chicagoans.
Art Institute president Leigh Block and his wife Mary donated this
important painting, “Sylvette” (1954), by Pablo Picasso.
Edgar Degas’ painting “Woman at Her Toilette” (1905) is one of 227
paintings given to Art of Institute of Chicago by Martin A. Ryerson.
By far the greatest gift came from Martin Antoine
Ryerson, the Harvard-educated lawyer, real-estate
tycoon, Art Institute trustee and collector “with an
infallible eye.” He’d managed to acquire the Demidoff collection, including Rembrandt’s “Young Woman at a Half-Open Door,” earlier presented to the
Art Institute. At his death in 1933, the Art Institute received his collection of 227 paintings, ranging from Dutch old masters to Renoir, Monet and
Degas, plus items of Oriental and decorative arts.
More than one art historian has remarked upon
the impact of Chicago-area collectors and their personal tastes, on the character of Art Institute of
Chicago holdings. From the very beginnings until
the present day, they have shown a great interest in
modernist acquisitions.
Leigh B. Block, the strong-willed Inland Steel executive and the Art Institute board president (from
1970 to 1975), collected art in partnership with his
wife, Mary. In addition to establishing the Mary and
Leigh Block Museum of Art at Northwestern University, they gave the Art Institute masterpieces by
Picasso and other modern painters.
Another industrialist whose collecting passions
left their mark on Chicago was Edwin A. Bergman,
the South Sider who headed U.S. Reduction Co.
(later sold to American Can) in Lansing, Ill. Bergman and his wife, Lindy, both University of Chicago
graduates, “liked art with critters in it,” according
to a friend. Their tastes gravitated toward SurreContinued on Page 10

alism, in particular the works of Joseph Cornell.
They accumulated almost 100 of his box constructions and other assemblages — the largest collection in the world. Bergman was one of the founders
of The Museum of Contemporary Art and served as
its president (1974-1976.) In 1983, the Edwin and
Lindy Bergman Joseph Cornell Gallery was established at the Art Institute of Chicago and today is
displayed in the new modern wing.
Amedeo Modigliani’s portrait of “Jacques
Lipchitz And His Wife” (1916) was given to
the Art Institute of Chicago by Frederic Clay
Bartlett in memory of his wife.
“Woman Before an Aquarium” (1921), painted by Henri Matisse, is one of
the paintings in the Helen Birch Bartlett Memorial Collection.

Long Beach Historical Society and Museum in the Works
by Kayla Weiss
Pictured at the May 7 meeting are (first row kneeling, from left) Betsy Starr Swan, Unity Foundation representative Sandy Gleim, Duane Kelley, Mary
Lysaught Stark and Jane Starr Neulieb. The back row is (from left) Ellie Bergerson Parkerson, Ginny Hilf, Dennis Kelley, Debbie Steele-Semla, Connie
Kassal, Pat Latchford, Fran Lysaught, Donna Hennard, Tim Dry, Mike Riley and Terry Steele. Photo taken by George Kassal.
Plans are under way to create an official Long
Beach Historical Society and Museum.
A group of Long Beach community members held
their third meeting this year on May 7 at the Long
Beach Community Center. The mission of the historical society will be to sustain an open, inclusive
organization serving the interests of Long Beach
while collecting, preserving and managing historical items, literate and other artifacts that illustrate
and enrich the town’s history.
Former Long Beach resident Dennis Kelley came
from Indianapolis to attend the meeting, sent by the
Indiana Historical Society to decide whether a need
and desire exist for a historical society here.
“The Indiana Historical Society is very interested
in setting up a historical society in Long Beach,”
Kelley said. “There are so many little townships
that hold such historical significance in the state of
Indiana, and we want so much to preserve as many
of them as possible, before they are lost forever.”
The next meeting is at 6 p.m. Monday, July 27,
when the group will hold a formal town meeting
to inform residents of their intentions and general
plans. Tamara Hemmerlein, director of Local History Services of the Indiana Historical Society, Indianapolis, will speak.
In the meantime, the group has several ideas in
motion. As an informational kickoff, the group will
march in the Long Beach July 4th parade and hand
out brochures. Many members also have started
collecting items for the museum.
On such member is Debbie Steele-Semla, who
began collecting items purely out of interest after
stumbling upon them. Now, she holds quite a nice
collection she intends on donating to the museum
once it is established. Her collection includes items
such as an original metal Long Beach Reality sign,
an original blueprint of the Long Beach community
and a photo album filled with newspaper clippings
and photos of are buildings.
Visit Long Beach Historical Society on facebook
for more information or the town’s website at http://
longbeachin.org/

Hesston Steam Museum
Annual Pink Teas
Return to a bygone era when Hesston Steam Museum kicks off its new season during Memorial Day
weekend.
Continuing every weekend throughout the summer, visitors will encounter a replica 1900s-era
depot, choosing from three different trains, from
miniature to full sized. Each train heads along a different route through a beautiful wooded landscape,
the longest being 2 1/2 miles.
The museum also is
a showcase for a working

sawmill with a 60inch blade, La Porte’s

and a blacksmith shop
where iron is turned

drink from Classic Catering and Events. Afterward,

Barker Students Launch Bottle Rockets During STEM Challenge
(Sullair has offered the winning students a parttime summer internship for their efforts!)
Guests came from Edgewood and Lake Hills elementary schools, NIPSCO, Michigan City Police
Department, KTR Corp. and Sullair.
The overall champions were:
• Fourth Place — 4.435 second average, (3.79 second launch), Barker eighth-grade team, Charles
Brennan’s homeroom.
• Third Place — 5.22 second average, (4.83 second
launch), Barker seventh-grade team, Erin Frever’s homeroom.
• Second Place — 5.605 second average, (5.18 second launch), NIPSCO Team.
• First Place — 5.99 second average, (6.01 second

One of the water bottle rockets launches in the school football field.
Barker Middle School hosted its final STEM
Community Challenge for the school year on Friday, May 8.
Students, staff and special guests gathered on the
football field to launch water bottle rockets into an
overcast sky. The goal was to engineer a craft that
would stay airborne for the longest time period.
The final victors were Jill Grabowski’s homeroom
students, who worked hard on the center of mass
in their design and the energy in the spin of their
water bottle rocket.

What’s Cooking
What
by Jim LaRocco
On a recent trip to The Henry Ford Museum, Sue
and I came across an exhibit of a 1930s “modern”
kitchen. That naturally got me thinking.
What a chore it must have been to cook for a large
family with those small ovens. They were nothing
like my 48” range with two ovens, a griddle and six
burners. I couldn’t imagine cooking on anything
else.
My mind wandered back to what it was like growing up in a large Sicilian family with five boys and
one girl. Life with such a large family was interesting, to say the least. In 1955, the kids ranged from
ages 15 to 5. The 5, of course, was yours truly. My
parents saved the best for last.
Our family consisted of my father, Joe, mother,
Mary, older brothers, Bob, Joe, Mike and David, one
sister, Mary Ann, and, of course, the cutest of the
bunch, me. We all sat down together for dinner each
night and on weekends went to visit relatives.
Growing up in a large family back in the 1950s
was fun. I learned how to stick up for myself, be
self-sufficient and develop social skills, something
lacking with all of today’s unsocial media.
I played outside all day long on weekends and in
the summer, or until the street lights came on during the school year, if my homework was finished.
Mom spent her days doing the typical 1950s mom
things: laundry, cleaning house, cooking, baking
fresh homemade bread (more on the bread in a bit).
She didn’t dress like June Cleaver or Donna Reed,
but was just as pretty.
A 1930s-style kitchen.
For a good portion of my time in grade school,
my mother was a stay-at-home mom. She did some
house cleaning and bookkeeping work on the side,
but was almost always home when we were.
My father made sure we always had enough to
eat. I remember when we had a turkey, beef or pork
roast, my mother would take the leftover meat, mix
it into the gravy and we had what we thought was
a treat: gravy bread the next day with mashed potatoes. She was a master at stretching our food dollars. It was a treat to have chicken pot pies for dinner. They were a whopping 10 cents each.
My father worked hard and provided all the
things we needed. When my mother or one of us
kids would ask my father for something, he would
always ask, “Do you want it or do you need it?”
My father was my role model back then and
throughout my life. Fathers and other family members were role models. They showed how much they
cared for you, maybe not so much with words, but
with their actions.
Everyone’s mom was a master with the needle
and thread. Buttons were always coming off, zippers broken and holes made in jeans and shirts. I
remember those iron-on patches my mom used to
put on the knees of my jeans to cover the holes. I
guess I was way ahead of the fashion curve back
then: jeans with holes in the legs. No one knew that
a few decades later, people would be spending big
bucks for new jeans with holes in them.
My mother, like almost every other mother in
town, made things from scratch. Cookies, bread and
my two favorites: tapioca and rice pudding.
I remember my sister Mary Ann’s first attempt
at making brownies. She grabbed a box of brownie
mix, followed the directions (almost) and put them
in the oven. She figured if it took 25 to 35 minutes
to bake in a 350 degree oven, it would take considerably less time at around 500 degrees.
I thought, wow, a snack fresh out of the oven in the
middle of the day. I patiently waited at the kitchen
table for the entire 10 minutes it took to make those
brownies. I had my glass of milk sitting on the table,
and I was ready for that chocolatey treat. I watched
the stove as if my constant staring would make
things bake faster. My sister noticed smoke coming
from the oven, so she decided they were done. When
she opened the oven door, smoke billowed out. I
hadn’t remembered smoke being involved when my
mom
made
brownies.
A f t e r
the
smoke
cleared, my
sister
decided to cut
— I mean
try to cut —
the
brownies. The only
problem was,
Jim LaRocco’s oven.
THE
May 21, 2015
she would have needed a chain saw to do so. They
were so hard and crusty, she could not cut into
them. I believe the brownies were used to patch one
of the brick streets near our house. It was a long
time before my sister attempted to make brownies
after that.
Oh, before I forget, let’s get to the bread story.
My mom, like almost every other mom, made homemade bread. She would always let my brothers,
Dave and Mike, help. She used the yeast, let it rise
— you know the drill.
Little did my mother know that on this day, her
sons all added salt to the bread dough. I decided I
wanted to help and added salt, too. No one knows
exactly how much salt was added to the dough.
Needless to say, it failed to rise properly and mom
was a little suspicious. She asked if anyone did anything to the dough. We didn’t find out until later
that we all added salt.
That was the last time she made bread. After
that, if I wanted homemade bread, I would have
to make the eight or nine-block walk to Grandma
LaRocco’s and get some.
Grandma LaRocco could not speak English, but
like all the other Italian ladies in the neighborhood,
she sure could make a mean loaf of bread. I can still
smell the bread baking in the oven. When the bread
was fresh and hot out of the oven, she would slice it,
butter it and place a thin slice of Parmesan cheese
on it. It makes my mouth water just thinking about
it. Excuse me while I get a towel and wipe off my
keyboard.
Everyone has memories of their mother or grandmother’s cooking. I enjoy cooking. For me, it is therapeutic and fun. For mothers back in the day, it was
a full-time job.
Here is my mom’s recipe for one of our favorite
desserts: rice pudding.
Rice Pudding:
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup instant rice
3 eggs slightly beaten
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/2 cups of scalded whole milk
3/4 cup of raisins
Cinnamon if desired
Heat oven to 350 and
prepare 1/2 cup water
and 1/2 cup instant rice.
(per directions) Blend
eggs, sugar, vanilla, then
add rice and raisins.
Pour the mixture in
a 1 1/2 quart casserole
dish and sprinkle with
cinnamon. Place casserole dish in a large pan
Jim’s rice pudding
filled with very hot waright out of the oven.
Page 31
ter. Be careful not to put in too much water. The
water level should be about 1/2 way up the sides of
the casserole dish.
Bake 60 to 70 minutes or until a cake tester comes
out clean. Pudding can be served warm or cold.
My family likes its rice pudding warm and topped
with cinnamon-flavored whipped cream. My mother
used to make a sauce to put on top.
The funny thing is, she never wrote down the
amount of the ingredients, just the ingredients.
When my brother, Dave, was visiting from Florida,
I decided to surprise him and make the rice pudding
and sauce my mom used to make.
I first had to decipher the “recipe.” I remembered
the size of the saucepan she used and basically
cooked it from memory. In my brother’s words, “it
tastes just like Mom’s.”
Here is the sauce recipe, complete with a list of
ingredients in the proper amount:
1/2 cup sugar
4 cups whole milk
5 tablespoons of corn starch
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1 teaspoon of butter.
Mix all of the ingredients, then heat the
mixture on medium
heat in a saucepan,
stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. When it thickens,
you can add cinnamon
and nutmeg to taste.
Pour on top of rice pudding.
Until next time, enJim’s rice pudding recipe
joy
once served.

The Memorial Day weekend traditionally marks the beginning of the
Summer Season. The Beacher staff would like to take this time to say…
Thank you to ALL the advertisers
and to our faithful readers who support them.
When it comes to supporting the community, few youth-oriented groups better symbolize that spirit of involvement than Michigan City High
School’s Junior ROTC. That’s why we chose to feature them on the cover of our Memorial Day edition. Participating in the photo shoot at
Greenwood Cemetery were Cpl. Jysica Zacariaz, Sgt. Alysa Willis, Gunnery Sgt. Thalya Del Real, Gunnery Sgt. Ellyssa Smith,
Gunnery Sgt. Cameron Greenway, Cpl. Jacob Williams and Gunnery Sgt. Jalen Stockley.
Special thanks to Maj. Thomas McGrath, the senior Marine instructor, for coordinating the photo shoot with us, The Beacher’s
Janet Baines for taking the photos and Michigan City’s Fly ‘Em High for providing the flag grave markers for the photo.

Indiana Bicentennial Torch
Porter County’s 2016
Bicentennial Committee
is seeking nominations
of people who deserve
to carry the Indiana Bicentennial torch when
it passes through Porter
County.
People can nominate
anyone who:
• Achieved personal or
professional excellence
or celebrity status.
• Nurtured their community through public
service, volunteerism
or leadership.
• Had an act of heroism.
In addition, the nominee must:
• Be a Porter County resident or former resident.
• Be able to carry the torch for a quarter mile (ADA
accommodations can be made).
• Be at least 10 years old.
• Have no criminal record.
• Be nominated by another individual, with a completed form submitted on the person’s behalf.
People can be nominated posthumously, and a
substitute torchbearer can carry on their behalf.
Nominations forms are available at tinyurl.com/
oun7qkc/ or can be picked up at Indiana Dunes Tourism, 1215 N. Indiana 49, Porter. Nominations can
be returned to Indiana Dunes Tourism or emailed to
[email protected] through Dec. 31.
After all nomination forms are collected, a juried
nomination process will be employed in each county
to select torchbearers. Nomination committees have
been formed in each county to manage the process
on a county-by-county basis.
Porter County’s bicentennial committee will recommend 24 torchbearers for consideration by the
Indiana Bicentennial Torch Relay leadership for final approval.
The torch can be carried on foot or by other means,
such as horseback, bicycle, motorcycle, car, tractor,
helicopter, fire truck and kayak.
The 2,300-mile torch relay will begin Sept.
9, 2016, in Corydon and end on the Statehouse
grounds in Indianapolis on Oct. 15, 2016, after
traveling through each of Indiana’s 92 counties.
The torch will pass through Porter County on Sunday morning, Oct. 9, 2016. It will start at Indiana
Dunes State Park in Chesterton and pass through
Valparaiso and Portage on its way to Lake County.
Residents of other counties may submit torchbearer
nominations to their county bicentennial coordinator by visiting tinyurl.com/ljrknck

State Park Earns Tourism Honors
Indiana Dunes State Park recently earned two
awards through Indiana Dunes Tourism’s Recognition of Service Excellence program.
R.O.S.E. honors individuals, businesses and organizations that make Porter County a great place
to live or visit. Indiana Dunes Tourism is Porter
County’s official tourism agency.
The park won awards for “Putting Porter County
on the Map” and “Attraction of the Year.”
The “Putting Porter County on the Map” award
was for being named one of the Top 10 State Parks
in the nation by USA Today in April. The “Attraction of the Year” award was shared with Friends
of Indiana Dunes for developing the 3 Dune Challenge, a 1.5-mile hiking route that involves climbing
the park’s largest sand dunes — Mount Jackson,
Mount Holden and Mount Tom — all of which rise
nearly 200 feet above lake level.
The awards ceremony coincides each year with
National Travel and Tourism Week.

$7,000 Grant to Fund Mighty Acorns
Valparaiso University students awarded Dunes
Learning Center a $7,000 grant as part of an American literature and experiential philanthropy course.
English 396, “Traditions of Giving and Serving
in American Life,” introduces students to writings about charity and service, while taking them
through a real-world grant-development process.
The program is aided by the Learning by Giving
Foundation. Founded by Doris Buffett, Warren Buffett’s sister, it teaches effective charitable giving.
Grant funds will support Dunes Learning Center’s
Mighty Acorns program, which brings sustainability education to underserved, urban communities.
Created around the idea of connecting students
with nature, Mighty Acorns is a multi-year, handson learning program that engages third- through
sixth-graders through education, restoration and
exploration activities in natural areas near their
schools. The STEM-based curriculum combines
classroom and field components to prepare students
for academic and career success.
The Northwest Indiana Mighty Acorns program
served 1,377 Porter County students from 51 Porter County classrooms during the 2014-2015 school
year. Mighty Acorns students completed more than
1,250 hours of stewardship work during more than
150 study trips to natural areas in Porter County
last year, including Imagination Glen in Portage.
The Northwest Indiana Mighty Acorns Partnership is a collaboration between Dunes Learning
Center, Shirley Heinze Land Trust and the Chicago
Field Museum, serving more than 3,500 students in
Indiana’s Lake, Porter and La Porte counties.

Last year, La Porte County Convention & Visitors Bureau, along with Northern Indiana Tourism
Development Commission, selected the region’s top
burger restaurants to battle for the title of northern
Indiana’s best burger.
After 60,000 votes cast, the
La Porte County winner
was Shoreline Brewery &
Restaurant, while South
Bend’s The View Tavern
was crowned the region’s
Burger Wars champion.
Next up: Pizza Wars.
This month, 56 of the top
locally owned pizza restaurants
will go head to head to find the best pizza in the
region. The eight La Porte County restaurants are:
Albano’s Villa, Little Giant Pizza, Miller’s Pizza by
the Lake, Olga’s Pizzeria & Restaurant, Packman’s
Family Pizzeria, Roma Pizza, Stop 50 Woodfired
Pizza and Trattoria Enzo.
The voting kicked off Friday, May 15, hosted on
Visit Michigan City La Porte’s website, www.michigancitylaporte.com/pizzawars. The first round lasts
10 days. Following the end of the first round, the
next two rounds will last a week. Winners of the
best pizza in La Porte County will be announced
June 7.
The county level voting is:
• First Round: May 15-24.
• Second Round: May 28-31.
• Third Round: June 4-7.
The regional level voting is:

Customers can log in to vote each day. They also

through mini-contests. By voting each round, customers also have the chance to win the grand prize
of a $50 gift certificate to the winning restaurant

Students View “CPAs in Action”
More than 20 Michigan City High School students interested in accounting careers traveled to
South Bend on April 28 for an event called “Game
On: CPAs in Action.”
The trip, coordinated by Michigan City certified
public accountant Paul Applegate, was made possible by the Indiana CPA Society.
The CPA firm of Crowe Horwath hosted the experience for students from several South Bend-area
high schools, along with the MCHS students and
their business teacher, Ronda Ross. Lance Werner,
Michigan City Area Schools CFO, and MCHS Business Teacher Connie Shoening, also attended.
The day-long experience began with a panel discussion by Peter Aghimien, CPA of Indiana University-South Bend; Lindsey Bauer, CPA of Inovateus
Solar; Jeffery Rowe, CPA of Umbaugh Financial
Services; and Adam Schwelnus, CPA of LOGAN
Community Resources Inc.
Other activities included a business etiquette
workshop, and a guided tour of local companies, including 1st Source Bank, Kruggel Lawton CPAs and
the McGladrey CPA Firm. The event concluded with
a catered lunch and a “Lesson on Leadership” discussion by Amy Cline, a CPA from Whirlpool Corp.
Ross said several of her business students returned from the trip with concrete career plans.

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.

Wolf by Mo Hayder (oversize
paperback, $15, in bookstores and
online; also available as an eBook)
My advice--read this book in the
daytime.
Home invasion. It’s a frightening thing because you never know
what the invaders want.
“When you’re so scared that
you’d do anything, anything at all,
then we’ll tell you what we want.”
So say the two men who invade
the country home of the AnchorFerrers family in rural western
England. But wait--I’m getting
ahead of myself. Let me start from
the beginning...
A very strange wanderer, simply
called The Walking Man, finds a
wounded dog with a scribbled note
attached to his collar that says
“help me.”
Surmising this is no joke, he calls on Detective
Inspector Jack Caffery to investigate.
Jack, however, doesn’t want to get involved until
Walking Man tells him he will trade some information about the death of Jack’s brother, Ewan, in exchange for his help. Ewan was believed to have been
killed many years ago by a pedophile, but his body
was never found.
Armed with this incentive, and the dog, Jack begins a painstaking search to find out who the dog
belongs to before it’s too late for his owners. But
how far has the dog traveled?
Setting up a 10-mile radius for his hunt, Jack
sets out to find the needle in the haystack.
Knocking on doors proves to be a waste of time
until he comes to the estate of Col. Frink and his
wheelchair-bound wife. He discovers their grandson and his fiance were brutally murdered 15 years
ago nearby in an area called the Donkey Pitch. It’s
not much to go on, but his instincts tell him it’s a
start.
The English countryside suddenly becomes something dark and sinister, fields and forests are not
friendly anymore. There’s something very Hitchcockian going on.
Meanwhile, the chapters go back and forth between Jack and the Anchor-Ferrers.
Going back a few hours in time, Oliver and Matilda Anchor-Ferrers and their daughter, Lucia, arrive
at their big gloomy country estate called The Turrets. Soon after, two men show up flashing police
badges. They claim to be investigating the murder
of a single woman who lived close by. This brings
May 21, 2015
back memories of the brutal murders of the young couple 15 years
ago. The young man happened to
be someone Lucia dated back then.
Then, the phone is dead and their
is no cell phone signal at the house,
and...
Well, suffice it to say, Oliver’s
suspicion of the two “policemen”
comes to fruition as they tie up
the family, putting them in three
separate rooms. The psychology of
these two men is flawless as they
know just what buttons to push
and how to elicit fear without actually hurting the family physically, although that doesn’t mean
physicality doesn’t eventually
happen...
And just what is that smell coming from the basement?
Oliver Anchor-Ferrers was a scientist in the international arms industry. His Wolf
missile system had been sold globally. Could his
background have something to do with this nightmare? But why? He’s now retired and not in the
business anymore.
I like the way Oliver spends his time while tied
up, logically trying to figure out what these men really want. His sharp mind might hit on the reason
they are being terrorized, but it probably won’t help
him do anything about it. It looks like the family’s
time is running out.
The way Hayder heightens the suspense, taking
you step by step until you think things are working out, is absolutely diabolical. Her characters are
astoundingly real, some creepy, some sympathetic,
some with an agenda that will creep up on you before you realize it. The family is helpless and unable
to comprehend why this is happening to them, and
Jack is the flawed, but relentless cop who won’t give
up.
This is a read to raise the hairs on your head!
From The New York Times Book Review: “Hayder’s work and characters are worth the unending
nightmares they will inspire.”
BookPage wrote: “The home invasion novel to
end all home invasion novels...Wolf is exceptionally
original in premise and nightmarish in its rendering.”
Hayder won the Edgar Award for Best Novel for
Gone and the 2011 Crime Writers’ Association Dagger in the Library Award for outstanding body of
work.
Till next time, happy reading!
