Fashion. . .behind the scenes by Maggie Beyer

It wasn’t Paris, but it could have been. The lights, the music, that special flair that professional models have when they take to the runway. . .posing, preening, prancing to upbeat rhythms. . .all in original knock-your-eye out cre- ations made by students, on their way to fashion careers. AND, to top it off, a grand finale of bridal fashions by Lazaro, designer for stars and celebrity elite, back home where it all began for him, in Chicago, where he would receive the Illinois Institute of Art’s 2001 Fashion Award. It was an invitation too tempting to resist. . .a trip to Chicago on May 24th with friend Fischchen O’Shea of Michiana Shores to see the 6th Annual Student Fashion Show presented by the Illinois Institute of Art in the Holiday Inn ballroom of Chicago’s Apparel Mart. It was a special day for Fischchen, not only were many of her stu- dents in fashion design and construction classes pre- senting on the runway, but it would be a time of reunion

Fashion Continued from Page 1 Lazaro has gone on to receive what is known as the Oscar of fashion awards for the Year 2000 award as bridal designer of the year, repeating his same 1999 honor. When Lazaro was a student, the college was known as the Ray College of Design (before that the Ray-Vogue School) and became known as the Illinois Institute of Art when it joined Art Institutes International in 1995, an institution with campuses in 16 major cities across the United States. Wade Ray, son of the orig- inal owner, and his sister, Ruth Bremner, have a home in the Dunes area and are currently having an exhibition of their art work at the Institute. Before the big fashion show event at 8 p.m., class- es went on as usual for Fischchen and her students; Designer Lazaro with Illinois Institute of Art president Saundra VanDyke well, maybe not quite as usual.

His advice to young people is to “do any- thing”. “That’s what I did,” he said, “and I was put in the posi- tion to be recognized by one of the designers. He offered me a job and was the one who took me to New York. I did any- thing, from picking up pins to sweeping the floor until I was offered another job to create a line for a collection that was very successful. I’ve been with my publicly owned company now for nine years and it’s given me the chance to just explode. There are now over 200 people working on my cre- ations. It’s just means working your way up through the years.” What’s the biggest change Lazaro has seen in those years? “I think it’s the bareness,” he said. “We’ve seen everything from high necks and long sleeves going to short sleeves, now everything is pretty much spaghetti straps and strapless. Everything is getting a little fuller, a little less tapered, a lit- tle more a-line. And for my clientele, I do what I’m known for, a lot of intricate beadwork, lovely fabrics. (Fischchen noted that even as a student he always used fabulous fabrics, like an embroidered Indian sari he used for one student design). Today, Lazaro said that 80% of his fabrics come from Italy, the beadwork from India, all the laces are French. What the newest for brides? “Color,” Lazaro emphatical- ly stated. “Why can’t a bride wear red?” To show it could be possible, he included one in his creations for the fashion show finale.

Frustrating because it’s out of your control as to whether 50% off your clothes are going to be presented as you feel they should be presented. It’s in somebody else’s hands.” After seeing the afternoon show, Sara felt she was just too critical.

She received her inspiration she said, while browsing in the Institute’s library when she saw a 40’s design for a neckline she loved, and she took her design from that. Christina Kirts said she took her design from the fabric itself, a plaid that she cut on the bias.

And how does teacher Fischchen feel? “Excited, for each and every one.” She has been backstage at former fashion shows and knows the flurry of action that goes on there as models prepare for the runway. Each has a dresser and a separate table where the ensembles are readied, accessories laid out for each quick change. The models we would see in the evening show were faces well-known in Chicago fash- ion shows and in photography shoots for magazines. Fischchen, officially her name is Hildegard, was born in Germany where she was schooled in fine sewing and design and has been with the school for almost twenty years. Through her years of teaching, she has seen it grow to offer Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees in Interior Design, Media Arts and Animation, Multimedia & Web Design, Visual Communication, a BA in Fashion Marketing & Management, and the BFA in Fashion Design from her department at the Chicago campus where an associate degree in Culinary Arts and Fashion Production is also offered. The Student Fashion Show would use the creative skills of students from all the departments: music, multi- media, lighting, production, and a special buffet com- plete with ice sculpture from the students in culinary “Fine Wine”, a collection by alumni designer Orenthal. arts.

Consequently, non-Lockes in locations other than Michigan City, Indiana, are reading The Declaration of Independence on the Fourth of July and having philo- sophical discussions, too. As July 4, 2000, approached, John Locke began to dream of the way the Locke family should read The Declaration for the millennium. He understood it would take planning, demand time, and consume resources. He thought it would be worth the effort. His family agreed. They worked together to make John’s millennium dream a reality: Traveling from Michigan City, Chicago, St. Louis, and Mobile, John and Betty Locke, their three adult children, one son-in-law, and two grandchildren gathered together on the steps of the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. at 10:30 a.m. to read The Declaration of Independence. Faces alight, sometimes in tears, they read and rejoiced…………and inspired everyone who saw them that morning. Blair, the red-headed daughter of Sarah and Mike, sparkled as she helped read The Declaration. To be seven years old and reading The Declaration of Independence with your family on the Capitol steps is very special for a girl whose favorite video is “1776”. Blair plans to have a family re-enactment of “1776” very soon. She will be Thomas Jefferson. Peter said that The Declaration is shorter now John Locke reads the Declaration of Independence than it was years ago when he was a little boy Will’s on the steps of the Capitol Building. age.

There is a copy of The Declaration of Indepen- dence on page 48. It has belonged to all Americans since 1776 and now, 225 years later, it still does.

A brief “bio salute” to some of our area’s veterans who quietly and bravely served our country in both peace and conflict.

Today we would like to turn our spot- light on an Army WWII veteran, Jim Ambrose. Jim joined the Army in January, 1943 and was sent to Fort Campbell, Company in Gary, Indiana, until he retired in 1981 Kentucky, for basic after thirty years of service. training. After basic, Jim married Virginia Dixon of LaPorte on May Jim was sent to 28, 1966, and raised three children of Virginia’s and Armored Force School two of their own. at Fort Knox, Jim joined VFW Post 2536 twenty-eight years ago Kentucky, where he and has been a member of the Post Color and Honor had training in light, Guard since then; and also served as Trustee for then medium tanks. seven years with also a stint on the House Committee.

Cpl. James Ambrose, 782nd Tank amphibians. As a Post Commander, you could always count on Jim Batallion, 1943 After San Diego, to get the job done. Jim was shipped to LeHavre, France, via Camp ——submitted by Bob Fitzgerald Kilmer, New York. From LeHavre, France, they were sent by rail to St. Valery where their troop train was blown up by sabotage. Fifty-three were killed and over 200 wounded. They figured the “Krauts” blew up the train so these tankers and engineers wouldn’t be reinforcing those troops located in the Ardennes where the Germans hit in the start of the “Battle of the Bulge.” Jim was lucky; his boxcar was overturned with men killed but he figured he was cushioned by other soldiers. Jim and the survivors were then assigned to the 782 Tank Battalion attached to the 97 Infantry Division of General Patton’s 3rd Army. Although he wasn’t assigned to the relief of Bastogne, he spent that ter- rible winter on a holding action until the Bulge was reduced and the whole 3rd Army advanced into Germany until the war ended and they established a Check Point on the Austrian border. Jim was a Assistant Tank Driver and Gunner and was fired on by German 88’s but not hit. The tank in front of them was hit and had to be pushed aside. Jim said that German women, with children loading, were firing at them with a German type bazooka. In July, 1945, Jim was shipped home and dis- charged on February 25, 1946, in Fort Smith, Arkansas. He went back home to Forrest City, Arkansas, where he worked for the government engineers on a boat called the “Arkansas #2” on the Mississippi River. He moved to Michigan City in August of 1951 and worked for Budd Veteran Jim Ambrose today. July 5, 2001 Page 13

IN 10 MINUTES, YOUR HEART WILL BE TELLING ITS SECRETS

most accurate technology of its kind in LaPorte, Porter and Starke Counties!

HEART SCAN — THE WORRY STOPS AND THE BEAT GOES ON

Your heart may hold a dangerous secret you don’t know about. It’s called plaque. The accumulation of hard plaque (cal- cification) in the coronary arteries could be setting you up for a sudden heart attack — and you may never know a thing until it strikes. Every year, 25% of the people with heart disease don’t have symptoms until it’s too late.

LaPorte Hospital’s state-of-the-art Heart Scan (Mx8000) reveals plaque with incred- ible accuracy (it’s the most accurate technology of its kind in our three county ser- vice area). It not only detects plaque, but determines the amount, and converts the findings into a score. A high score is predictive of coronary heart disease. Safe, pain- less and convenient, the Heart Scan itself performs this valuable service in about 10 minutes.

Our excellent physicians and staff are looking forward to serving you right now. Consider taking LaPorte Hospital’s Heart Scan if you are a man age 35 to 60, or a woman 40 to 70. It may reveal a secret — and save a life. Remember, when comparing Heart Scans, ask for the Mx8000. Clarian Health For your appointment, call 800-235-6204, ext. 2444. Methodist • I.U.

I’d crawl out from under a bumper, and I couldn’t spring back to my feet like I used to when I was a young buck,” Brandys said during a recent interview at his studio near Three Oaks. And so he quit the wonderful world of day jobs and cast his fate to the muses. Or, as he so eloquently put it, “No more crawling under cars. Why should I work for Joe Blow beating his fenders off when I can do something I like to do which is art? I decided if I’m going to call myself an artist, then I’m going to live by my art.”

Indeed, there is a playfulness about Jim Brandys as he goes about the business of supporting himself as an artist. He is forever adding finishing touches to his stu- dio next to his house on Forest Lawn Road. Built of 32-gauge galvanized steel he claimed from an aban- doned chicken coop in Indiana, the structure is paint- ed in Brandys’ favorite color — green, and is designed to look like a castle from one of the many magazine and book illustrations Brandys has on file for inspi- ration. “It’s not done yet,” he insisted on a recent tour, “but when it is, there will be turrets and the whole works. It really will look like a old-time castle.” A main feature of the two-story structure is the gallery of Jim Brandys’ Day Glo art. “I like to do paintings in Day Glo and illuminate “Rusted Memories” is from a series of Jim’s mixed media work. them with UV light, and I realized I couldn’t very well take the paintings and the UV lights to local galleries and what not, so I created my own special gallery here so people can come in and see what I can do.”

This “Guard Spider” is fashioned from found objects at Jim’s studio.

This untitled Day Glo painting can be seen by appointment at Jim’s UV-lighted gallery/studio near Three Oaks. In addition to a whole gallery full of arresting paintings in vividly illuminated Day Glo colors, a visitor would be immediately struck by a large mixed- media piece titled, “Rusted Memories.” As Brandys explained, “it is one of a series of fiber- glass sculptures of a 1926 Ford TT Flatbed Truck about to drive into a swamp. It was inspired by an old black-and-white movie called ‘The Red House’ in which the character played by Edward G. Robinson commits suicide by driving his Ford Flatbed into a swamp.” Brandys has already sold three from the series and said they sell from between $900 to $1,600 depending on “how much the patron wants the back- Jim also made this cannon from found objects.

Keefe More than 100 period-dressed reenactors--taking the roles of French soldiers and voyageurs--will pad- dle down the Detroit River on July 24 to launch water and land-based ceremonies marking the 300th anniversary of the establishment of Detroit. Headed by Canadian Guy Vadeboncoeur in the role of Antoine Laumet de la Mothe Cadillac, the city’s founder, the party will land at Detroit’s Hart Plaza. Reenacting the events of July 24, 1701, a group of Native Americans will greet the expedition that originally arrived with orders to establish a fort and fur-trad- ing post. The Cadillac party had traveled from Montreal to the future site of Detroit over a period of about seven weeks. The first colony, called Fort Pontchartrain de Detroit, materially expanded France’s “beaver empire” in North America.

During the July 24 ceremonies at Hart Plaza city officials will unveil a statue of Cadillac. The monument will become a permanent addi- tion to the plaza. The canoes that will make up the flotilla for the trip to Hart Plaza on July 24 are all 34 to 36 feet in length. Each will carry about 19 persons, including the paddlers. All six were manufactured by Ralph Frese of the Chicagoland Canoe Base in Chicago. “Mr. Vadeboncoeur will ride in the lead canoe on July 24,” said Captain Suthren. “Because every effort will be exerted to make the flotilla as authentic as possible, Vadeboncoeur as Cadillac will carry one or two flags, but the other canoes will be unadorned.” Tens of thousands of spectators are expected to watch the flotilla pass on its way to Hart Plaza, a loca- “The early voyageurs were a free-wheeling type,” says Charles F. “Chuck” Hoover of the Historical Society of Saginaw County, Michigan. “The tion described as “very close” to the actual spot where dressed very much like pirates.” Cadillac landed in 1701.

From June 24th through July 17th, our local Michigan City chapter will host thirty-six delegates from nine countries who will participate in the Children’s International Villages Summer Camp. The first two days here, participants spent time with their host families. Then on Tuesday, June 26th, the fifteen-year-old delegates and their fourteen staff members met at St. Paul Lutheran School, where they will stay during the camp activities. Host families for the opening two days were: Konrady, LeMay, Kmiecik, Warnke, Alt, Gann, Gallas, Dahm, Haynes, Wojcik, Glidden, St. Arnaud, Mengel, Ford, Gonzalez, Bailey, and Steinke/Pawlik. These host parents brought the boys and girls, with their luggage, to St. Paul School on Tuesday after- noon, June 26th. Welcome signs, in various lan- guages, were posted outside the school door. Campers and leaders chatted with others attending and blew bubbles before the afternoon get-together inside. Some of the campers have become acquainted at pre- vious C.I.S.V. activities around the world. Host families drop off campers and their luggage.

The theme is Differences, so it will be called Camp Diff. We mean differences in two ways. First, what are our different gifts and how are we different from one other? Second, how can we use those gifts to make a difference in the world?” After refreshments outside, the campers and staff convened in the gym to play some games. Note: Open Day for local community members to attend is still on Sunday, July 8th, at St. Paul School from 1 to 3 p.m. However, it will not be a potluck, but there will be snacks instead. If the weather is nice, the get-together will be held outside; otherwise, it will be in the St. Paul’s Gym. On Saturday morning, July 14th, campers will be divided into three groups to participate in community activities. These activities are: the Soup Kitchen, Delegates near St. Paul School and welcome signs. the Therapy Center, and the Homeless Shelter. July 5, 2001 Page 29

Courtney’s Top Ten Beacher Articles (As complied by the home office The Summer in Long Beach, IN) Imitation is the highest form of flattery. And so, from time to time, I engaged in a little literary imitation of some of my favorite authors and works. One such victim ( I mean author) was Clement C. Moore, who Markdowns gave the world a wonderful Christmas present in the poem “’Twas the Night Before Christmas.” I gave Moore’s holiday poem my own spin in December of 1997. The poem is one of my favorites because, first, I was fairly successful in keeping with the rhyme of the work and, second, because it gives hope to all those would-be poets who have been wary begin with of trying to rhyme with the word “dash.” You will see what I mean as you read.

Children can visit unique destinations this summer via ABC Children’s Museum latest addition, The Time Machine. Crafted to resemble The Lighthouse, a familiar Michigan City landmark, the machine will whisk children back in time for a sample of historic life through crafts, stories, games and treats. Excursions begin each morning at 9:30 a.m. and return each day in time for lunch at 11:30 a.m. Parents or guardians are welcome but are not required to attend. July 10-12 Dinosaur Safari The first trip, a Dinosaur Safari, is scheduled on July 10, 11 & 12. Children will travel back 70 million years and meet many of the long deceased lizards, all carefully screened for friendliness. Chicago’s Field Museum of Natural History has loaned the ABC Museum special materials to help, includ- ing actual bones from these monstrous creatures. July 17-19 Native Americans On July 17, 18 & 19, the destination is closer to home as travellers will visit a Pottowatomi village, home to the Native Americans who first lived in the Indiana forests. Again, the Field Museum has loaned exhibits and artifacts to better understand the life of these times and to take part in a Pow Wow. August 7-9 Mummies: Mysteries in Linen On these dates, children will travel back to 3000 AM SOCIAL BC and the land of Ancient Egypt. Their funerary prac- ICE CRE tices will be explored, including an attempt at mak- ing Mummies with very unusual subjects. August 21-23 Medieval Castles: Live Like On The Lawn At Ruth C.

I once was a technophobic. I wanted nothing to do with computers. Twenty years ago, I was forced to learn how to use an Apple II in order to maintain a graduate assistant- ship. That was before Macs and Windows. Soon after that, I was forced to write a statistics program if I wanted to pass a graduate course in Research Procedures. After I graduated and started working as a news correspondent, I was given a crude portable word processor to wire in my stories to the newsroom. It would be another ten years before I purchased my own computer and another year beyond that before I signed up for Internet access.

The Town of Westville is celebrating its 150th anniversary from July 7th through the 9th. Dozens of activities on the 3-day agenda are designed to provide fun for all ages. Best of all, admission to the events is free. Sesquicentennial chairperson Sue Wright and her committee of seven have arranged for a motley array of activities highlighting life in the 1850’s. Crafters will demonstrate how things were done at the time when Westville was founded. Civil War re-enactors will be in town, as will Abe Lincoln and his Surgeon General. The Pokagons will also be participating in an encampment. “The Pokagon tribe lived in this area when the town was founded, so it’s fitting that they are part of the activities,” Sue said. Planning for the event started just a year ago, when Westville librarian Sarah Johnson handed the Centennial book to Sue while she was immersed in research. “I realized when I looked at the founding date (1851) that Westville would be marking its sesqui- centennial,” she said, adding that planning for a cel- ebration began soon after the discovery. The committee managed to raise $10,000 over the past year by hold- ing bake sales, bingo, and other fund-raising events. Among the notices that went out to the community was a request for a sesquicentennial quilt. Seven women answered the call back in September, putting in more than 700 hours over the next six months to complete the project. Many of the women met for the first time and formed a special “quilt friendship” The completed quilt measures 78x87 inches. Pictures of Westville’s in the process. The group also formed what is now known churches are placed in each of the quilt’s four corners, and a drawing of the Pinhook Church is catty-corner above the Westville logo.

as the Westville Prairie Quilters. The finished quilt was presented to the Westville Town Council earlier this month and it will be on permanent display in the entrance of the Westville Town Library. Elmo Elliott created the frame for the 78x 87-inch quilt. Of the seven quilters, Laura Ransom might qualify as having the most years of experience. If it weren’t for her husband Warren, now deceased, she might never have taken up the craft. “He began quilting with a group in Otis. He did embroidery and quilting and suggested that I start doing it too,” Laura said. The couple continued quilting togeth- er for almost 30 years. The Westville Prairie Quilters plan to continue to meet and they welcome new members. Their new Gathering weekly since last October, the seven quilters will see their handiwork hung in the projects will be donated to the fire and police Westville Public Library.

Horse-drawn rides through the streets of Westville will offer a historic background of the town, and tours of the Mary Benedict and town cemeteries will include docents who will give background information about some of Westville’s early residents.
