Volume 26, Number 30 Thursday, August 5, 2010 Deep River County Park by Rick A. Richards “That’s what drew me to the park in the ﬁ rst place,” said Shearer, “and I’ve been here since 1981.” The park, which straddles U.S. 30, includes Deep River Water Park on the south side of the four-lane highway, and the historic grist mill on the north side of the highway. It is one of 12 parks operated by Lake County. Sandy Basala, director of the Lake County Parks Department, said Deep River is one of her favorite parks in the system. “It’s so varied and it permits people to do so many things,” said Basala. “The trails are beautiful, there is a picnic area and a little playground,” she said. “I’m sure it’s true that people see things when they drive by, but you don’t understand how much else there is here unless you stop and get out of the car and take a look.” This is the view of the grist mill at Deep River County Park from Old Lincoln Highway. (Photo by Rick A. Richards) Deep River Continued on Page 2 Northwest Indiana was a very different place in 1835. It was wild, mostly unsettled, and for someone with the right vision, a place to make money. John Wood of Massachusetts was such a vision- ary. Leaving his family behind, he ventured west, looking for a place to establish a grist mill, and he found it along the Deep River in Lake County, Ind., just south of present day Hobart. That land, a 10- mile strip across the northern part of the state, became available thanks to a treaty between the Unit- ed States and the Potawatomi Indians. All Wood had to do to claim his land was build a log cabin and then travel 30 miles east to LaPorte and pay $200 for his parcel of 160 acres of land. In 1837, after returning to Massachusetts to collect his family, Wood returned and built a saw mill to cut the lumber for his grist mill. By 1838, his grist mill was up and running, creating what was the ﬁ rst industry in Northwest Indiana. Joanna Shearer absolutely loves the grist mill and its history. A historical programmer for the Lake County Parks Department, which operates the 1,080-acre park, said she loves the serenity of Deep River County Park near Hobart has hiking trails, some of which the park. offer this view of the rear of the grist mill.

in time, made all the more realistic by the period clothing Shearer and park volunteers wear. A short walk over to the grist mill shows how corn was ground into fl our. While the mill building has been restored and the huge grinding stones in use are of the period, they are not the original stones used at Deep River. Shearer pointed out that after Wood’s sons sold out to other buyers, the grist mill closed in 1930. The building sat vacant until 1975 when Lake County acquired it. But in those 45 years, nature and vandals had taken a big toll. “When Lake County got it, the roof was gone, the windows were gone,” said Shearer, adding that the grinding stones had been chipped and cracked by vandals. “There was graffi ti in here and raccoons were living inside.” Restoration thus far has included a new roof, new fl ooring, new windows, a new stairway, and fi nding Visitors to Deep River County Park’s grist mill will be greeted by volunteers in period clothing.

Richards) “When farmers brought in their grain to be ground, it would take half a day, so they would visit those other stores while they were waiting.” The grist mill owner would keep 20 percent of the ground grain as payment for the work, and then sell that to in-town customers for cash. It is a way of life that has long since disappeared in Indiana, but Shearer and Gunnerson said they are glad to bring it to life for visitors. “I enjoy demonstrating the grinding of the corn. I think people really appreciate seeing the corn being ground,” said Gunnerson. As he operates the huge grinding wheels and monitors the fl ow of grain into the mill, Gunnerson said he is most often asked about the stones. “I talk about the weight of the stones and how it takes all that weight to grind the corn.

What do 100 women do on a hot, steamy Thurs- day morning? Play golf, of course! The Long Beach Country Club 9 Hole Golf League held their annual Guest Day on Thursday, July 22, 2010. A grand time was had by all in spite of a downpour in the middle of play! Jayne Krol, chairperson of the event, and her committee chose the theme “Games People Play,” and play we did. The “games” began the evening before with a cocktail reception at the beautiful home of Ann and Dan Nicolosi in Grand Beach. The next morning, after breakfast at the club, Brian Godfrey, club pro, sent the ladies off to golf in a “shamble” for- Left to Right (First Place A Flight) - Bonnie Reese, Jean Foltz mat. The teams were divided into two fl ights, with prizes going to the winners in each fl ight. The prizes were, you guessed it, a variety of games from which the winners could select. If golf were not enough, a game-related question was posted on each fl ag on the green, and the teams had to fi ll in the blanks to the questions. Prizes were awarded to two teams with the correct answers. After the “shamble,” everyone enjoyed a delicious lunch prepared by head chef Justin Evans and his culinary team.

Valpo’s Department of Theatre (www.valpo.edu/ theatre) will present fi ve mainstage productions at the Center for the Arts on campus during its upcoming season: •“Almost, Maine,” by John Cariani, Oct. 6-10 •“Tartuffe” by Moliere, Nov. 10-14 •Valparaiso University Dance Ensemble, Feb. 10-13 •“The Universal Wolf,” by Joan Schenkar, Feb. 16-20 •“Floyd Collins,” by Tina Landau and Adam Guettel, April 13-17 “Students will experience all kinds of acting and design challenges this year,” said Lee Orchard, professor of theatre at Valpo. “Actors will get the chance to perform in wigs and French renaissance costumes in the historical ‘Tartuffe,’ while they also will have the opportunity to perform in very contemporary works. For example, the fi rst show of the season tells eight different love stories with 19 characters.” Orchard discusses the 2010-2011 theatre season in a video on Valpo’s YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzNepeBB9hk. Opening the season is “Almost, Maine,” a comedy that takes place in a mythical town in the middle of a bleak, snowy winter where the residents fall in love in unexpected and often hilarious ways. Performances are at 8 p.m. Oct. 6 to 8 and at 2 p.m. Oct. 9 and 10 in Valpo’s University Theatre. “Tartuffe” will keep audiences laughing and in suspense as the plot reveals how a religious hyp- ocrite — an imposter — almost succeeds in his scheme to jail a naive friend and his family in an effort cheat them out of their home.

To avoid this gender bias, Leonard Loftus (Brandon Zale) is forced to submit his novel under a female pseudonym. So when Lulabelle Latiffa wins the fi rst prize, Leonard begins to have a major problem. Leonard is a bashful statistician with a spectacu- lar alter ago. With domestic complications from his wayward daughter Dee Dee (Joy Feller) and Gus (Sam Condon), his rascally old father, Leonard tries frantically to keep up the charade of Lulabelle.

I don’t see her very often here in Indiana, but when it happens I usually throw a party – yes, Jane, smiling at some of my friends adore her as much as I do. So everybody at the this time I invited Diane Gielow, Donna Hennard, party Pat Latchford and Patti Marth to join us. You’ll see the great food we enjoyed (my Guava Glazed Ribs were on my table again last week, also at the party this week, and were in last week’s Beacher, one of my all-time recipes for years.
