Visiting the Indiana Welcome Center THE TM 911 Franklin Street Weekly Newspaper Michigan City, IN 46360 Volume 21, Number 40 Thursday, October 13, 2005 Visiting the Indiana Welcome Center by Paula McHugh Just a few miles from the Illinois border along Interstate 80/94, the Indiana Welcome Center building in Hammond delivers an archi- tectural metaphor of Northwest Indiana’s prominent features. One needs to exit I80/94 at Kennedy Avenue south to get a full view of the building. Looking at it from the north, tsunami-sized stainless steel waves create a sculpture of Lake Michigan. On a sunny day, those oversized waves glisten and sparkle almost blindingly, in ways familiar to us beach-lovers. Next, the eye catches sight of the sculptured dune hills, a form in concrete that reaches way above the waves. And true to the region’s history, steel smokestacks rise beside the dunes. As the eyes continue to pan southward, the view levels out and is anchored on the southern edge by an over- sized and unmistakable silo. Lake to the north, farmland to the south. Even the Kankakee River, Lake County’s southern border, is rep- resented in a horizontal wall of flowing lines. We first brought you a story about the Indiana Welcome Center five years ago (“Three Visits, Three Lessons”, January 2000), when we explored the John Dillinger Museum located inside the facili- ty. Our most recent visit gave us an opportunity to appre- ciate the season’s still-blooming flowers outside the vis- itor entrance, as well as the added touch of dune grasses that compliment the building’s architecture. Also, a flowing fountain of water outside the entrance is something we had missed on our previous visit—and it certainly added to the sensory aesthetic.

And that is not an easy task. Kennedy Avenue is in the way. The Borman Expressway and its clog of traffic are in the way. Taking a photograph of the entire struc- ture requires more than the average photographer can handle. The Indiana Welcome Center’s size is close to 23,000 square feet, wrongly reported in our first story as 6,000 square feet. The latter measurement equals the portion of the building earmarked for exhibits— the W.F. Wellman Exhibit Hall actually measures closer to 6,500 square feet. Exhibits in the Wellman Exhibit Hall focus on local people, places, and things, and change approx- imately monthly. Currently through November 6, the hall is hosting its Innovations: “Celebrate NWI: Series (Manufacturing).” Some of the displays include As the eyes continue to pan southward, the view levels out and is historic steel mill photos from Indiana University anchored on the southern edge by an oversized and unmistakable silo.

I examine how song and dance – sites of aesthetic difference within the musical – can warp time and enable marginalized and semi-marginalized fans to imagine different ways of being in the world. Musical numbers can complicate a linear, developmental plot by accelerating and decelerating time, foregrounding repetition and circularity, bringing the past to life and projecting into the future, and physicalizing dreams in a narratively open present. These excesses have the potential to contest naturalized constructions of historical, progressive time, as well as concordant constructions of gender, sexual, and racial identities. While the musical has historically been a rich source of identification for the stereotypical white gay male show queen, this project validates a broad and flexible range of non-normative readings.

Podvia —Carl Sandburg, Chicago The City of Chicago has had its more than its share of murder, mayhem and disaster. All of these happenings attracted national attention; a few resulted in regulations that have improved health and safety. This is a listing of some of the most well-known Chicago tragedies. You might want to visit some or all of these places during your time in Chicago. Several of these are located within walking distance of the AALL Annual Meeting. Some others can be reached via public transportation. Be aware that not all of these locations are open to the public. Federal Regulations Gone Awry: The Sinking of the SS Eastland Chicago Riverwalk between LaSalle and Clark Streets The SS Eastland, a popular Chicago-based excursion boat, was launched in 1902. Known for its speed, the vessel had a design flaw that made it top-heavy. The problem was worsened following the passage of the Federal Seamen's Act in 1915. The act, adopted is response to the RMS Titanic disaster, required the retrofitting of a complete set of lifeboats on the Eastland. The additional weight made the unstable ship even more dangerous.

    LANDMARK DESIGNATION REPORT Village Theatre (Originally Germania Theater) 1546-1550 North Clark Street Preliminary Landmark recommendation approved by the Commission on Chicago Landmarks, April 3, 2008 CITY OF CHICAGO Richard M. Daley, Mayor Department of Zoning and Land Use Planning Patti A. Scudiero, Commissioner The Commission on Chicago Landmarks, whose ten members are appointed by the Mayor and City Council, was established in 1968 by city ordinance. The Commission is responsible for recommending to the City Council which individual buildings, sites, objects, or districts should be designated as Chicago Landmarks, which protects them by law. The landmark designation process begins with a staff study and a preliminary summary of informa- tion related to the potential designation criteria. The next step is a preliminary vote by the landmarks commission as to whether the proposed landmark is worthy of consideration. This vote not only initiates the formal designation process, but it places the review of city permits for the property under the jurisdic- tion of the Commission until a final landmark recommendation is acted on by the City Council. This Landmark Designation Report is subject to possible revision and amendment during the designation process. Only language contained within the designation ordinance adopted by the City Council should be regarded as final. Cover: The Village Theatre at 1546-1550 N. Clark Street on the Near North Side.

  • State Changes Trans-ID Policy
    THE VOICE OF CHICAGO’S GAY, LESBIAN, BI AND TRANS COMMUNITY SINCE 1985 Nov. 18, 2009 • vol 25 No 7 www.WindyCityMediaGroup.com State Changes Trans-ID Policy BY SAMUEL WORLEY Hall A new policy adopted by the Illinois Depart- page 7 ment of Public Health’s Division of Vital Records of Fame makes it easier for transgender people to receive birth certificates that accurately reflect their gender identity. Previously, trans people who had sex-reas- signment surgery (SRS) were only able to have that surgery recognized if it was performed by a U.S.-licensed surgeon. With the policy change, people who travel overseas for surgery—for rea- sons of cost or to seek surgeons with greater expertise—will be able to obtain birth certifi- cates reflecting the fact of their SRS no matter where it was performed. The change came as the Division of Vital Re- cords issued new birth certificates to two trans- women who had overseas surgeries. It also is- sued a new birth certificate to a transman who, under the previous policy, would have been re- Clinton quired to have medically unnecessary surgery. page 4 “I am a woman and now I have a birth certifi- in Chicago cate that reflects this reality,” said Victoria Kirk, one of the beneficiaries of the policy change, Vital said in a statement.
