Sacred White Buffalo Come to Flagstaff’s Sacred Peaks
by Paula McHugh
Arizona is a study in contrasts. Just as climate and
vegetation changes from north to south, gaps in philosophy appear to polarize the population of this
desert state.
American flags or angels adorn car bumpers. As one
gets closer to Sedona, the angel and “Peace, please”
bumper stickers far outnumber the “Charlton Heston
is my President” slogans.
Judging by the number of prayer flags and medicine bundles left there, the four white buffalo now living at Spirit Mountain Ranch northwest of Flagstaff
have attracted hundreds of peace pilgrims during
this stressful time in our country’s history.
The rare, white Miracle Moon was born in Belle Fourche, South Dakota
and brought to Arizona by her guardians, Dena and Jim Riley.
of Miracle Moon and her offspring Rainbow Spirit,
Mandela Peace Pilgrim, and Arizona Spirit. The
three white offspring were sired by the dark brown
Willy Wonka and all are on view at their home west
of the San Francisco Peaks.
The white buffalo are a popular attraction on the shortcut road (AZ 180)
from Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon. Just as the San Francisco
Peaks are considered sacred to the Native Americans,
so is the appearance of the white buffalo.
Several years ago the birth of the white buffalo Miracle
in Janesville, Wisconsin caused quite a stir in the Native
American and alternative New Age communities.
Lakota Sioux legend has said that the white buffalo, a symbol for people to unite in peace and harmony, would return during a time of chaos to mark the
beginning of five years of trouble followed by an era
of peace.
But, according to Dena Riley, guardian of Miracle
Moon at Sacred Mountain Ranch, the Janesville buffalo has since turned brown and she guesses that Miracle
is really a beefalo. But Miracle Moon, born in Wyoming,
has undergone DNA testing and has proved to be 100%
North American bison. The rare existence of a pure
white bison brings people to this high country home
Chocolate brown Willie Wonka sired Miracle Moon’s three white offspring.
Dena and her rancher husband Jim were living near
Belle Fourche, South Dakota when Miracle Moon
was born. According to Dena, Jim saved the newborn
when a young bull flipped it into the air, trying to kill
it. The fact that Jim was able to save the tiny bison
from the bull’s attack was considered by the couple
a miracle in itself. And the white bison’s birthdate (April
April 17, 2003

Horse’s birthdate. Arvol Looking Horse is the pipe keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Woman’s Pipe.

The three white buffalo can be visited up close and
they have acres in which to roam.
According to the Inter Tribal Bison Cooperative’s
information, the American Indian and White Buffalo
prophecy is explained as follows:
“Nineteen generations ago, during a time of famine,
two Lakota Indian braves were outside their camp when
they met a beautiful maiden carrying a bundle. As they
approached the maiden, one of the braves had lustful thoughts about her. Subsequently, she and he
were enveloped in a cloud which disappeared, but shortly after, left the foolish brave as a pile of worms and
bones. The second brave spoke with the maiden, who
asked to be taken into the camp to speak with the chief.
Her voice was as music. In the chief ’s tepee she provided him with the bundle, the peace pipe which
was inside the bundle, and a prophecy. She told them
of how to live and survive from the buffalo. As she set
forth the purpose of the peace pipe, she described it
as the way in which the Indians should pray, for in

the smoke their prayers would ascend. She described
the different components of the pipe, referring to its
red earthen bowl as symbolic of “Mother and
Grandmother Earth, which is sacred; the buffalo
carving on the bowl is symbolic of all the four-leggeds,
the wooden stem is symbolic of plants on Mother
Earth; the twelve feathers symbolized the winged ones
of Mother Earth; and she stated, ‘all these peoples are
joined to you who smoke the pipe (packed with dry buffalo chips). All send their voice to Wakan Tonka, the
Great Spirit. When you pray with this pipe you pray
for everything.’ She told them how to survive and pray
for the use of the buffalo and most importantly how
to take care of Mother Earth.
“She left a prophecy which said that at the end of
time there would be five years of increasing disasters
and crises which would be followed by an era of
peace. She said she would return one day to mark the
beginning of the five years of trouble and to bring healing to the earth. During this five years the Indians
were to seek to come into peace, balance and harmony
and unity with the other religions of the world, in spite
of the great crisis. (In this sense the peace pipe is more
accurately the ecumenical pipe). After leaving the gifts
and the prophecy, she left the tribe, and as she turned
to say farewell, she changed into a white buffalo.
She then walked 200 yards and rolled over and
changed into a red buffalo, rolled over again and
changed into a black buffalo, and rolled over again and
changed into a yellow buffalo—the colors symbolize
the different tribes of mankind. The ecumenical peace
pipe she brought has been handed down for nineteen
generations, and considered by some to be the most
sacred symbol to the American Indians.”
Those who
visit Sacred
Mountain
Ranch usually
already know
about the
White Buffalo
prophecy.
They leave
behind tobacco
flags, medicine
pouches, personal items,
and money
along a fence
near the buffalo. Dena said
that some
groups come
out to regularly
perform native
ceremonies for
peace and harmony.
Before the Riley’s arrived in northern Arizona, the
spot where they established Spirit Mountain Ranch
had been occupied by a general store along Arizona
180, a shortcut from Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon.
The Riley’s have renovated the old store, which now
serves as a gift shop and mini-museum. The expansive acreage surrounding the store allows Miracle Moon,
Willy Wonka, and their brood to roam. Visitors, for a
fee, are able to get up close to the animals along a long,
fenced-in walkway. And yes, the buffaloes are gentle.
Dena said that many groups have come to the
ranch to perform ceremonies to honor the white buffalo, and one such group erected a large wooden pole
and hung dozens of colorful prayer flags. Other visitors have left tokens of appreciation fastened to the
fence. Dollar bills, tobacco wrappers, notes, and personal items blow in the wind along the fence line in
sight of Miracle Moon and her offspring.
The snow silhouettes point out the shapes
easily seen on the San Francisco Peaks.
Dena also pointed to the snow-capped San Francisco
Peaks to show us what she and Jim had discovered
quite by accident one morning. Very clear snow silhouettes along the mountains form a coyote howling
at the moon, a kokopelli figure, a white buffalo, and
a spirit face—an amazing sight and easy enough for
anyone to recognize. Dena said that the snowy silhouette
discovery confirmed her and Jim’s decision to relocate
their special, rare buffalo to northern Arizona.
No doubt followers of the White Buffalo prophecy
and Buffalo medicine as described in Sams and
Carson’s Medicine Cards will continue to find Spirit
Mountain Ranch a special place to visit. In this quiet
valley, peacefulness reigns.
My camera was able to pinpoint Kokopelli (middle), coyote (right),
and the white buffalo ( left and partially hidden by the tree line)

Despite its small size, this little chapel exudes a powerful,
peaceful influence upon those who go inside.
And just down the road, actually a bit closer to
Flagstaff, a tiny ecumenical chapel—the Chapel of the
Holy Dove—sits off the side of the road welcoming all
visitors. Unlatch the bungee cord holding the woodplank door shut and walk inside the A-frame building. The first thing you’ll notice is a flutter of notes
tacked to the chapel walls. These notes of gratitude
have been left by the many visitors who stopped to
say a prayer. Or to experience a sheltered, holy place
with a knockout view of the San Francisco Peaks
and felt a reverence for the surrounding beauty, as we
did. What’s amazing is that this little chapel, apparently accessible 24/7, is well cared for and devoid of
vandalism. Maybe it’s amazing only because we live
in a place where doors are kept locked and experience
tells us that vandalism is common. This little gem of
a chapel exudes a quiet spirituality. We found it by

happy accident, not by reading about it in a tourist
guidebook. Perhaps the San Francisco Peaks, sacred
to the Native Americans who have lived in this region
for generations, protects this ecumenical shelter.
Unlike the increasing commercialism one finds in
Sedona, the chapel in the Peaks northwest of Flagstaff
offers a refreshing and serene atmosphere in which
to meditate on blessings received. Be sure when you
visit to leave it as you found it—with reverence.
Hundreds of chapel visitors
have left notes of gratitude
and thankfulness behind in
the tiny chapel. We left with
a warm feeling of heartfelt
thankfulness for having
discovered this serene
little chapel.

The Northern Indiana Arts Association presents a
Hazel Hannell Retrospective for the much-loved
Porter County artist who died last year at the age of
106. This exhibit will run through June 1, in the
Atrium Gallery of the Center for Visual and Performing
Arts located at 1040 Ridge Road, Munster. Admission
is free.
Included in this exhibit will be oil paintings, watercolors and prints dating as far back as the 1930s.
Through the generosity of several collectors in the region,
Exhibit Curator Ruth Crnkovich has been able to secure
a number of representational works spanning a 70year period. Works included in the exhibit are pieces
that are from private and public collections in Lake
and Porter counties.
Hazel Hannell, born in 1895, was raised in LaGrange,
Illinois and studied at the School of the Art Institute
of Chicago. She and her husband, well-known artist
Vin Hannell, moved to Furnessville, Indiana, in the
1930s and continued to live and work as artists for
many decades. Some years after the death of her
husband, she moved to Oregon where she continued
painting past her 100th birthday.
Hazel worked for many years as an artist inspired
by nature and as a cataloger of plant life. By creating the scores of Dunes wildlife block prints, she
helped bring attention to the significance of the
nature in the area. A number of those prints will be
included in the Hazel Hannell Retrospective.
Hazel played an important role in developing the
art community of Northwest Indiana after moving here
in the 1930s. She was a leader in the Chicago No-Jury
Society for Artists and The Ten. Later, she and her husband helped found the Association of Artists and
Craftsmen of Porter County, which eventually resulted in the presently popular Chesterton Art Fair.
This exhibit offers the public the occasion to view
the fine works of art by an important Indiana artist
and the opportunity to reflect on the lifelong contributions of this artist.
Exhibit hours are Sunday through Saturday, 9
a.m.-5 p.m. For more information, phone 219/836-1939.

Have you ever wondered what might be in the
cupboards of the dressing room in Copshaholm, the
38-room mansion once home to the Oliver family in
South Bend? (Clothing articles and toiletries once used
by Catherine Oliver, who lived in the mansion nearly all her life, from 1897 to 1970.) Have you ever
wanted to sneak a peek inside the second floor linen
closets? (You’d see hand-embroidered tablecloths
used at formal dinner parties given by the Olivers.)
Have you ever wished the tour guide would open-even
ever-so-slightly-the drawers in the third floor bedroom?
(There are stacks of white shirts worn by Joseph
Oliver in the 1930s and 40s.)
Now’s your chance to see all of this and more. These
and other areas of the Oliver Mansion will be featured
in a “White Glove Specialty Tour,” taking place at 12:30,
2:30 & 3:30 p.m. on Sun., May 4, at the Northern Indiana
Center for History. During these one-hour tours, visitors will get a behind-the-scenes look at the mansion
and view items never before seen by the public.
The cost for the “White Glove” tours is $8. Senior,
student and member discounts are available. Visitors
are encouraged to call ahead to reserve tour times.
Copshaholm and all of its contents were donated
to the Northern Indiana Historical Society in 1988.
Public tours of the mansion have been conducted
since 1990. For more information, phone 574/235-9664

George V. Neagu, Co-chairman, LaPorte County Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Committee, has
been notified that an exhibit featuring his work as the
first director of the newly created South Bend Human
Relations Commission in 1966, and its impact on
the city of South Bend, is now being displayed at
Weikamp Hall on the campus of Indiana University
South Bend.
The exhibit was developed by the Civil Rights
Heritage Center, founded by Professor Lamon, and will
be shown for six weeks. Catherine Leuthold, research
coordinator, created the exhibit after doing an oral history and receiving documents over the last year from
Mr. Neagu. He has an extensive number of documents and newspaper articles covering nearly twenty years of South Bend history. His papers focus on
race relations, the work of the Human Rights
Commission, the South Bend NAACP and more.
Neagu was a major consultant in the formation of
the Michigan City Human Rights Commission and was
its featured speaker on Sept. 11, 1967 at its annual
banquet at the First Methodist Church in Michigan
City. He also assisted other cities in Indiana in developing human rights commissions.
For eight years Mr. Neagu served on the Michigan
City Human Rights Commission and was its chairman for two terms. He was appointed by Mayors
Arnold and Behler.
Neagu stated, “I am deeply honored that my work
as South Bend’s first director is receiving so much recognition from IUSB’s Civil Rights Heritage Center, and
that the material I contributed will benefit and possibly inspire scholars at IUSB.”
For more information regarding the exhibit, phone
the Civil Rights Heritage Center at 574/237-6580.

International Food Fair
It was a cool spring day and the grass all around
us was suddenly green and beautiful. My friend Pat
Thorne and I drove to Berrien Springs on “back
roads” that were so much pleasanter than those
heavily trafficked weekend four/six-lane highways. We
arrived at Andrews University campus at an early hour,
but found the parking around Johnson Gym stuffed
with cars and had to uncover our own parking place
several blocks away. No problem – a nice day for a walk.
Once inside the door, we were amazed at the number of people attending this 42nd annual food fair, hosted by the university’s international student population. All ages were represented, from babies in strollers
to great-grandparents, and we were suddenly in the
midst of dozens of languages all around us. It was a
happy milling crowd. Each food from each country was
prepared by students of that country.
Food booths lined the huge building, and produced
lovely wafting aromas. Pat and I tried to walk the
perimeter to explore the offerings before we made decisions, but it was difficult. Our awakened taste buds
were impatient. The China booth was the busiest, with
the longest line of hungry guests. We later waited our
turn there for excellent egg rolls. The Korean stir fry
was outstanding, too, and the four pretty students serving us there were chattering away in their own language, smiling and nodding all the while. Pat enjoyed
the Indian curry, while I favored the Romanian food,
especially the cabbage rolls with soft polenta topped
by a scoop of sour cream. My tummy also loved the
fried dumplings with some kind of perfect sauce at the
Caribbean booth.
And of course we missed some goodies, while going
back around the gym the second time. There was
just too much to take in. The Mexican booth had
corn on the cob (Mexican corn on the cob – could
that have been minced cilantro on the buttered ker-

nels?) which we meant to return to. We wanted to find
out what in the world Australian lamingtons are,
but got sidetracked. The Taste of Brazil featured
torta de palmito (heart of palm pie), a best-selling
Brazilian dish I’d never even heard of.
When we reached dessert, we passed up the
Mediterranean baklava and had some great tiramisù
at the European booth.
We’d purchased $5 tear-off tickets before we entered
any lines and at each booth, tickets were taken to cover
our purchases. It turned out to be an incredibly easy
price to pay for all those delightful international
foods. I think between Pat and me, we spent a total
of $15.
During our first sit-down at the long crowded
tables, we were joined by a family of Romanians. Dr.
Rae Holman was my immediate neighbor who told me
they fix these same dishes in their own kitchens,
such as the cabbage rolls and grape leaves stuffed with
rice and vegetables. Dr. Holman introduced her sisters and daughter and told me she herself had graduated from Andrews University not once, but three
times. Amazing.
When we left, more than an hour later, the crowd
was growing even larger, the lines at the booths were
longer. We were stuffed. We were happy. We were determined to make this lovely food fair an annual event
in our own lives.
Beacher food friends, I promise I’ll let you know a
couple weeks in advance next year this time so you
and your family can head on out to the annual food
fair at Andrews University. It’s an early spring outing you won’t ever want to miss again. I’ll see you there,
that’s for sure.

OK BEACHERS, think
about being FARMERS!
(or living on a farm)
10 minutes from Lake Michigan’s sandy
beaches are 170 acres of rolling farmland,
restored prairie and dunes. You have beauty
and quiet, a new architect designed house,
vegetable gardens, and terrific neighbors.
And you are not paying beach prices; our
building sites are $55-60,000, our houses
and lofts start at $118,000. Property taxes
are sensibly low.
Tryon Farm is a conservation place.
120 acres of the land will never be built on.
Features include goats and chickens,
organic farming, native grasses, restored
wetlands that bring a variety of birds and
other wildlife. There are blackberries in the
back meadow, communal gardens for those
who want to grow their own salads and
salsa, late suppers at our bonfire circle out
beyond the first woods.
And when you need the beach, bike or
drive on over.
Tryon offers it all; peace in the country and
proximity to the beach, the dunes, and
New Buffalo.
Come to our Open House in the 1896
Tryon family farmhouse from 1-4 any
Sunday.
Drive out Karwick Road past Al’s at Karwick
Plaza toward Pottawattomie Country Club.

Diggin' in the Earth
with Maggie Beyer
Now is the season of our discontent. Scraggly branches begin to leaf and bud. Now is the season when a
gardener, looking about at wayward branches, wants
to grab those pruning shears and play Edward
Scissorhands, shouting “off with their heads”. Do not
give in, gentle reader. This is NOT the time to prune
flowering shrubs; let the urge pass. Timing is everything when warmer weather has finally arrived.
For shrubs that flower in the spring, the rule is prune
immediately after they flower, preferably before June
15th. Delay the pruning until late summer or fall and
you will remove future flower buds, the ones you
want to enjoy next year. My handy dandy gardening
hints describe two ways to prune: renewal and rejuvenation. That sounds like a recipe for living but in
gardening circles renewal means to cut the largest stems
to the ground to stimulate new growth from the
crown and remaining branches. This works for flowering bushes like lilacs, mockorange, weigela, forsythia,
dogwood, deutzia and kerria. Shrubs that bloom
after June 15th can be slated for rejuvenation. That’s
when timid gardeners falter.
This flowering
Kwanzan
Cherry
could have
used a bit
of pruning.
Too late
now.
Rejuvenation means cutting all the stems down to
4 or 6 inch stubs. What a scary thought! What
faith! Lop them now and will you ever see them
flower again? It’s easier when a shrub has grown too
big and become a mass of tangled stems. Then, who
cares. It’s a mess anyway. Take a chance. New
growth might arise like a phoenix from those stubs.
I’m working up to the idea slowly. Very slowly. As I’ve
said, it takes courage.
I inherited some shrubs that go back to the fifties
on my bit of land, old-fashioned honeysuckle, mock
orange, bridal wreath. . .and though I’ve cut out
some of the thick gnarled branches, and though I innately KNOW they’ll grow back as nature promises, it’s
been a hard push to trim them back and let the new
life begin.
I’ll feel more this season when I see last year’s pruning efforts. Last summer, when I planted that cherished Cherokee dogwood, along came my garden
guru, Bryan Manuele, and started thinning out some
of the inner twiggy branches. I know it helped the
symmetry; I know it gave the tree more air and light;
but I still cringed with each cut. I wanted every bud
and bloom and leaf I had planted.
When it comes to evergreens
and trees, somehow the choices
and decisions don’t seem as difficult. Years ago, my old house in
Proper pruners
Long Beach came with a mess of
for shrubs.
overgrown yews at the front
entrance. You’ve seen them, those lanky evergreens
found in old foundation plantings that look like giant
bonsai with thick, twisted bare branches at the bottom and a little cap of green spreading out on top. My
urge was just to yank mine out and replace them. But
I started trimming; a little bit here; a wayward
branch there. In a few years, the shoots had filled out
and I had a spread of yews that worked for years. It
can be done. And though I admire formal hedges in
other people’s gardens, those little boxwood hedges,
so veddy English, so veddy prim and proper, they wouldn’t work on my woodsy plot. Hedges are also another cup of tea. It’s all in the angle. We’ve all seen hedges
that are all green leaves on the top, and bare branches beneath because the easy way seems to be just to
trim off straight across the top. This technique loses
the lower growth that should be encouraged. Straight
sides that angle in toward the base mean you lose the
lower leaves and that clipped hedgy look. It just
gets worse over the years. Then it’s time to rejuvenate, cutting down to 6-inch stubs in early spring, and
begin the reshaping all over again.
Another hint: save those hedge shears, both electric trimmers or the clip-clip scissorhands style, for
a really formal hedge. Use them on flowering forsythia,
for instance, and you get an upright little shrub
instead of the graceful, flowing form the forsythia naturally takes. Unless, of course, you like upright little yellow pillars standing to attention in a most
unnatural way. To me, it’s like planting tulips in little rows like soldiers, instead of massing them for rippling clumps of color.
But then, as my friends know, my mantra is don’t
push the river. Let it flow.
And so it is.

Art Barn Tenth Annual Juried Art Exhibition
By Jan Van Ausdal
Lady Margaret & Don Keplinger with her “Mystic View”
Roger Carlson at the piano
A very large crowd of artists, family members, and
friends attended The Art Barn Tenth Annual Juried
Art Exhibition opening on Saturday night, April 5, 2003.
Located at 695 North 400 East, Valparaiso, Indiana,
the show will run through May 19, 2003.
At 7 p.m., guests could view the art, talk to others,
and enjoy the beverages and hors d’oeuvres before the
official presentation of awards at 8 p.m. During this
time, Roger Carlson entertained at the piano.
Bartenders Gary and Susie Connors volunteered to
help out owner Jan Sullivan. The Connors live at Loomis
Lake, Valparaiso, on Grandview Avenue. Susie, who
has been an artist for the last fifteen years, had her
oil, “Still Life on Chair,” in the show.
Carol Rabineau with her Best of Show, The Cover Up
Dana Weber with her Sheep in Sunshine
“Sweetness,” her colored pencil entry. It depicts realistic chocolates, which look good enough to eat. A
resident of Munster, she has done pastel landscapes
before, but this work represents a very different
medium for her.
Dana Weber posed beside Dana’s oil, “Sheep in
Sunshine.” She has lived in Valpo about five years,
but previously lived in Montana, which explains the
mountain in the background of her work. Dana plans
to help Jan Sullivan teach classes this summer for
abused women and those who can’t afford to take art
lessons. A grant has been applied for to provide
money for these classes. Dana’s friend, Jo, didn’t get
anything entered in the show because she went away
on vacation. Dana has been Jo’s teacher at Valparaiso
University in a variety of media.
Jan Sullivan showed Jan Warner of Michigan City
a watercolor entry by Marlies Glickauf, titled “Mountain
Meadow.” The two Jan’s have been friends since
1964, a long time indeed!
last eight years, since 1995. They had lived in Munster
for fifteen years, but just moved to Glen Elyn, Illinois,
which is not as close to the Art Barn.
In a pensive mood, Jan Sullivan took the mike to
begin the presentation of the awards to the artists.
She said, “It’s a great show. I think it’s one of the best
we’ve had! Everybody should have received a prize,
but we couldn’t quite arrange that!” She then proceeded
to award the Best of Show to Carol Rabenau for her
work, “The Cover Up.”

By the refreshment table, people discussed the
art in the show. Carol Rabenau posed by her oil,
“The Cover Up,” which won the Best of Show award.
Carol’s other entry in this exhibition was her oil, “In
The Garden.”
“I have won ‘Best of Show’ before,” she said, “but
I don’t know how many years. They haven’t been
consecutive years.” Carol’s husband, Richard, was also
present.
Sisters Beth Zyglowicz, 16, and Carleen Rivera, 5,
relaxed beside a small table with their punch. Their
mom, Carleen O’Connor Rivera, posed happily with
Long-time friends, Jan Sullivan & Jan Warner examine Marlies

Lady Margaret and Don Keplinger posed by her
Purchase Award winning entry, “Mystic View, Ghost
Ranch.” Don is a tax accountant, but he enjoys art shows
and especially things that are different. Lady Margaret
has been one of Jan’s students in watercolors for the
“Dune,” a watercolor by Renae Ricks-Miller, received
a Merit Award from Christina Dougherty & Dr.
Douglas Busby. Roger Carlson and Jan Sullivan
made the presentation. Then Renae posed beside
“Dune,” a very colorful work. “I’m back in school at
I.U.N., full time,” she said, “and I teach children’s art
classes at the Art Barn.”
Another Merit Award from Virginia & Harold
Phillips was given to Ray Grzebielski for his “Two Amish
Boys,” a mixed media work. Ray, who is from Chicago,
has been painting for a number of years, but had worked
in photography for fifteen to eighteen years. Ray has
taking oil painting with Richard Halstead and a
watercolor class with Ingrid Abrecht at her art school.
His friend, Kevin Fahey, also from Chicago, said, “I
just drove him down here. I think it’s an amazing show!
They have a lot of good work and such a diversity of
items.”

Carol Cook received her Purchase Award from Dr.
Frank & Atty. Carol Sturdevant for “Lake Como,” a
watercolor.
An acrylic entry by Doris Myers, titled “Hoosier
Ridge,” was extremely colorful with its bright red tree
trunks and leaves.

Members of the audience were pleased to see the
awards being made so that they could associate the
artists with their work. Jan presented the last
Purchase Award to Patty Jennings for her watercolor, “Sun Flowers.”
“That’s a hugger!” Jan said. “That does it! Thank
you for being here.”
Other Merit Awards included two from Hollis
Turner of Color Interior & Gardens, Inc., to Claire
Hoinville, for her oil, “The Green House,” and to
Catherine Reidy for “Coat Closet.” Greg Hertzlieb of
the Brauer Museum of Art gave a Merit Award to Rose
Petersen for her watercolor, “The Old Porch,” while
Harley & Janet Snyder presented one to Kristy Kutch
for her pencil, “High-Noon Hollyhocks.”
Other Purchase Awards went to: Nancy Heitmann
for her watercolor, “Dusk,” from Dick & Janet Brown;
Jean Head for “Sailor’s Delight” from Julia Holmaas;
Alice Moss for “Summer” from Max Tims; and Lynn
Diamente for “On the Farm” from William T. Wilson.
Show committee members were Janet Sullivan, Janey
Bartow-Eddy, Julia Holmaas, Marlies Glickauf, Renae
Ricks-Miller, Alice Moss, William T. Wilson, and
Roger Carlson.
The show was judged by Gregg Hertzlieb who gave
a judge’s statement that he enjoyed judging this
show very much. The most difficult part for him was
choosing the pieces that would receive awards. He chose
some pieces that dealt with abstraction or imaginative approaches to the subject. He also tried to select
works that reflected a combination of technical mastery and a unique point of view. He felt being the judge
was a real pleasure, because it gave him a chance to
see the many different ways that artists in the area
try to capture the beauty they see around them or feel
in their hearts.
Hours for The Art Barn are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.,
Monday through Saturday and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on
Sunday. Located at 695 North 400 East, Valparaiso,
the telephone number is 219-462-9009. Visit the
Juried Show through May 19th; you’ll be glad you did!

Earth As Art
Are you looking for a new perspective on the world
or a far-out vision? If you answered yes, then do I have
a website for you.
NASA and the US Geological Survey have created a website called “Earth As Art,” which can be
found at http://landsat.gsfc.nasa.gov. A satellite known
as the Landsat 7 has taken pictures of various parts
of the globe from way up high. A certain number of
images from each continent were then selected based
on their aesthetic appeal, and they are viewable here
as both thumbnails and larger images when clicked
on. The images are downloadable in Tiff format and
you can print them if you wish. Or you can save
printer ink and purchase a poster-size version of
your favorite(s) for $30.
If I was a geology or geography teacher, I would use
this site as a teaching tool. It’s a good place to learn
the locations of places on each continent, and its
visuals are mesmerizing. With each thumbnail comes
a short explanation about that particular snapshot of
the world. And if I was an art teacher, I would point
my students to this website for an artful look at the
globe.
I clicked on each continent to get a sample of earthart and chose a thumbnail more or less at random.
In Asia, I clicked on the “Iraqi Emplacement,” a
snapshot made in January, 2001. It shows an area north
of Al-Basra that was formerly a wetland, but had been
drained and littered with minefields and used as an
Iraqi military staging area. It’s far from my choice of
prettiest thumbnails, but it’s interesting nonetheless. Amazing what satellites can capture on film.
I viewed the Lena Delta in Siberian Russia and found
it more aesthetically pleasing. The Lena, I learned,
is one of the largest rivers in the world, spanning 2800
miles. The delta reserve is a protected wilderness area
and a refuge for Siberian wildlife. Next, I took a look
at the Ganges River Delta, which is covered in swamp
forest and is known as the Sunderbans. I never
learned about that in school. The Karman Vortices,
located between Russia’s Kamchatka peninsula and
Japan offered a swirly effect. The whirlpool in the air
in Greenland on the North American continent is
amazing viewing, too. The image shows a spinning formation of ice, clouds, and low-lying fog off the eastern coast of Greenland. Clouds in the Aleutian Islands
look like a finger painting using blue and green color
variations. The Florida Everglades look lush and
green.
Not so pretty is the Bolivian deforestation in the
Amazon Basin in South America. The Landsat photo
captures a picture of cubes and blocks that are actually farms and ranches and loggers’ paths where
healthy vegetation once prevailed. The healthy vegetation, or what’s left of it, appears in red. Very little is red.
April 17, 2003

These are amazing photos and worth the time to
take a look at our world from high up in space. Yes,
they resemble abstract paintings and could grace a
gallery wall. In addition to copying your favorite
snapshots of earth art, you can also download an
Earth As Art screensaver. Have a look.
Michiana Computer Club
I received a note from Paul Niethammer to remind
everyone that the Michiana Amateur Computer
Society welcomes all to their monthly meetings. The
next one is scheduled for Tuesday, April 15 at 7 p.m.
room 142 at Michigan City High School, perhaps too
late notice for most Beacher readers. But you can catch
the May meeting. In fact, except for the months of
January and July, all meetings are the 3rd Tuesday
of the month at MCHS. Bring your questions, bring
your expertise, or just go to learn something new
and to meet a great bunch of people. This month, Brian
Schaefer of Automated Data Systems will be the
guest speaker.

heading so that I don’t automatically delete your
email).

Human-Animal Companionship Program
Purdue University North Central will present Alan
M. Beck, Sc.D., director of the Purdue University
School of Veterinary Medicine Center for the HumanAnimal Bond, on Tues., April 22. He will speak about
his research on the value of human-animal companionship.
The community is invited to meet with Beck in the
PNC formal dining room, located off the cafeteria in
the Library-Student-Faculty Building for his presentation and question and answer session from
noon-1 p.m. followed by an informal lunch and conversation from 1-2 p.m. Guests may bring a lunch or
purchase a meal from the cafeteria and may come and
go at their convenience. RSVP to 872-0527, ext. 5267
to ensure a seat at the event.
Beck’s presentation, “Animal Companionship: A
Strategy for Survival” will detail his study of relationships between animals and humans. The Center
for the Human-Animal Bond was established to
develop a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics between people and companion animals. He has
been its director since 1990.
He will also talk about his new research on the
human-animal bond through animal-assisted therapy.
Beck has his bachelor’s degree from Brooklyn
College, his master’s from California State University
at Los Angeles and his Doctor of Science in Animal
Ecology from The Johns Hopkins University School
of Public Health. His 1973 book, The Ecology of Stray
Dogs, considered a classic in the field of urban ecology, was republished in 2002. With Dr. Aaron Katcher
he edited the book, New Perspectives on Our Lives
With Companion Animals, and co-authored the popular book, Between Pets and People: The Importance
of Animal Companionship, published in 1983 and
revised in 1996.
Beck directed the animal programs for the New York
City Department of Health for five years, then was
the Director of the Center for the Interaction of
Animals and Society at the University of Pennsylvania,

Travels with Charley:
Committing a Class Act at Ivy Tech State College
by Charles McKelvy
As a graduate of a well-known teacher’s school
like Illinois State University, you would think that I
would hearken to my alma mater’s motto and “gladly teach” when called to do so.
Well, as I told my faculty adviser way back when
I was at ISU between 1968 and 1972:
“I DON’T WANNA BE NO TEACHER.”
Teaching isn’t so bad, is it, Charley?
The reluctant teacher.
In fact, I was graduated from that august institution of higher learning in 1972 with a non-teaching
bachelor’s degree in English-Journalism.
That’s right — I went to Newcastle, but I didn’t buy
any coal.
Go figure.
The old reporter tells his war stories to Fr. Jim Rosselli’s class at Ivy Tech.
I know I certainly didn’t ever figure that I’d be thrust
in front of a classroom and expected to enlighten
young (and older) minds for an hour or more at a crack.
But there must have been something extra in the
dorm food at ISU, because the call to teach has come
fairly frequently over the years.
Why, once upon a time, I even taught conversational
English to college students in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
And, whether Purdue/North Central ever wants to
admit it, I did hearken to their call and teach creative
writing there for more than one semester.
Plus, I’ve done writing seminars at various local
libraries in Michigan City and Bridgman, and, yes,
Charles McKelvy appears before the Introduction to Sociology class at
Ivy Tech State College.
April 17, 2003
Page 43
I am completing my first year as a Sunday School teacher
where I attempt every Sunday morning to keep a group
of 7th and 8th graders awake for an hour.
So when Madam Editor told me recently that she
had been contacted by a Father Jim Rosselli who
wanted a Beacher writer to come and talk to his
Introduction to Sociology class at Ivy Tech State
College in Michigan City about the process of gathering information for stories, I felt that old rumbling
in my stomach.
Yes, it was that mysterious dorm food at ISU talking to me again — lo, these many years hence.
So, despite the lack of a fee for my appearance, I
agreed to go forth and have at Father Jim’s class for
an hour or so.
What could be the harm, right?
“So there I was, see, and . . .”
Charles
McKelvy
appears
before
the
Introducti
on to
Sociology
class at
Ivy Tech
State
College.
Well, there was absolutely none, actually, and I ended
up really rather enjoying my old self quite immensely.
For starters, I got to hear the erudite Father Jim
Rosselli guide his class of about 15 or so souls through
what he described as a fun alternative to a mid-term
exam.
He had divided them into four groups and each group
was charged with gathering and presenting statistical and interpretative information on one of the following four topics:
1. Gang activity/unemployment in LaPorte County;
2. Unwed teen pregnancies in LaPorte County;
3. Illiteracy in LaPorte County, and
4. Adult crime/unemployment in LaPorte County.
Father Jim said he brought me aboard to share my
own information gathering stories with the students
and to offer them some helpful suggestions.
I tried, and I think I succeeded.
At least no one seemed to be snoring too loudly during my disquisition. Some even seemed to be smiling at various points.
Face it, you get an old reporter like me in front of
a sympathetic audience, and it’s awfully hard to shut
him up, especially when he starts reaching into the
vault of treasured “Cub Reporter Stories.”
Father Jim gladly took my picture as I blithered away
at his class for a solid 45 minutes or so, and when it
was time for me to cut it off, he simply slashed his finger across his throat and sent me on my way with a
word of thanks, a hearty handshake and a smile.
So, if my old faculty adviser from ISU is out there
somewhere reading this, please know that your
attempts to nudge me in the teaching direction were
not entirely in vain.
On the other hand, it was probably that mysterious dorm food that made me do it.
Class dismissed.
No one was falling asleep during the old reporter’s disquisition.

On April 21, 1836, at San Jacinto, with the battle cry
“Remember the Alamo!” an army of Texans, led by
General Sam Houston, defeated a Mexican Army led
by General Santa Anna. Few battles in history have
had such a devastating effect on a nation as did this
one on Mexico. In the treaty that followed, they ceded
to the new Republic of Texas all of present-day Texas,
about half of New Mexico, and parts of Colorado and
Wyoming. Ten years later, in the Mexican War with
the United States - (fueled by a dispute over the
southern boundary of Texas) - Mexico lost Arizona,
California, and the rest of New Mexico.

Off the Book Shelf

The Coffee Trader by David Liss
“It rippled thickly in the bowl, dark and hot and
uninviting. Miguel Lienzo picked it up and pulled it
so close he almost dipped his nose into the tarry liquid. Holding the vessel still for an instant, he breathed
in, pulling the scent deep into his lungs. The sharp
odor of earth and rank leaves surprised him, it was
like something an apothecary might keep in a chipped
porcelain jar.”
That’s the opening paragraph in this historical
novel that takes place in 1659 Amsterdam. Manipulation
and machinations, duplicity and deceit. And that’s just
for starters in this compelling story of Miguel Lienzo,
a Portuguese Jew who trades commodities on the
Exchange, the Dutch forerunner of our modern stock
exchange system. It will take almost up to the end of
this book for the reader to decide whether Miguel is
an innocent dupe, or someone who could have done
a better job of controlling his destiny.
There are also the caffeine-induced jitters, especially
strong in someone tasting coffee for the first time. Can
you imagine not knowing exactly how to prepare it?
Some thought the “berries” were to be popped in the
mouth and chewed while others thought it should be
mixed with sweet wine and drunk. Of course, the Turks
had already figured out how to brew the coffee beans
(although a little strong for my taste), and now the
drink was slowly being introduced to Europeans.
This then was the picture of the coffee trade in the
mid 17th century: it really didn’t exist. The story of
Miguel is something else. He made some bad trades
and now, with little capital to his name, has had to
move into the home of his brother Daniel and his wife
Hannah. Wanting so very badly to prove himself in
the Exchange, Miguel is ready to believe the first plau-

for your very own
sible deal put to him by the very beautiful and very
widowed Geertruid Damhuis. She proposes they combine her money and his talents to break into the coffee trade and rule the coming market.
Miguel plunges in without giving much thought to
the other problems in his life. There’s Joachim
Waagenaar, the Dutchman who lost 500 guilders in
a business deal with Miguel and now thinks he owes
him the money back. Joachim sends threats, hog
heads on the doorstep, the usual subtle hints. A fellow Jew, Solomon Parido, also has it in for Miguel. It
seems Miguel was betrothed to Solomon’s daughter,
who just happened to catch Miguel in a compromising position with the family maid. Engagement over.
One more complication: it seems that Hannah, pregnant with Daniel’s first child, is falling in love with
Miguel. Can things get any more complicated? Maybe,
but you just know they can only get worse.
I really enjoyed this book. I love historical fiction,
but this story has so much more going for it. Besides
learning about the advent of the coffee market, I
learned a lot about the treatment of Jews in Europe
at this time and why many of them found their way
to Holland, where they were tolerated and even
allowed to worship their faith. Reading about life on
the Exchange was both exciting and exhausting.
Does manipulation of trading automatically carry
over to the manipulation of men’s lives? It would
seem so. There is more than one plot and sub plot going
on here. It was fun trying to figure out how many people were in on the “get Miguel” bandwagon.
The Coffee Trader is interesting, sometimes funny,
sometimes mysterious, and thoroughly readable.
What more do you want?
Author Liss won the 2000 Edgar Award for Best First
Novel for A Conspiracy of Paper which takes place in
18th century London.
