Besides their bombing runs, Captain O’Hara flew the “hump” (over the Himalayan mountains) 77 times, bringing in needed munitions and supplies from ports in India. Barney talked with true pride that in nearly two years in China he never lost his plane or any of the crew. He finally returned home in November 1943 as large groups and even Superfortresses took the war even to the Japanese mainland. After a short leave, he flew C-47 cargo planes coast to coast, ferrying wounded G.I.’s to hospitals and supplies where they were needed most. After the war, Barney flew as a company pilot out of South Bend, Gary, and Chicago airports. He then started a business of heavy equipment (bulldozers, earthmovers, etc.) which still bears his name and attention.

Using what you have to get the look you want. . . Carolyn Harris Restyles an Interior by Maggie Beyer

The bidding was sharp but Sue Spitler stayed with it. . .and was a Silent Auction winner at the Spring Fling sponsored by the Michiana Humane Society last March. Her prize. . .a restyling of her living space donated to the auction by Carolyn Harris, a pro in the field. Carolyn promises to give a fresh, new look without the cost of new furnishings, using your existing furniture, accessories, art and personal things. Did she succeed at Sue’s? You be the judge. Friends of Sue would be the last to feel that Sue’s attractive home on Avondale in Long Beach needed any help. It was filled with exciting, interesting artwork and the whimsies that Sue collects, fun to see wherever you looked, conversation points at every party. But Sue wanted a new look; her life was changing to a retirement mode, and wanted the rooms she lived in to have a change, too. “I’ve been bored with my house,” Sue said. “I like what I have but I wanted a new look.” A collector of eclectic art as she calls her “whimsies”, she said she came to the point of something must be done when a friend gifted her with a beautiful turned wood box. She looked around, and found she had absolutely no place to put it. “I wanted to change things, but I realized I didn’t have the brain power to think it through,” Sue admitted. Along came her winning bid, and along came Carolyn to make it happen. “Now I could put the problem into her knowing hands.” Before First there was a preliminary discussion, as Carolyn does with every client, a walk through to assess what The grand piano had to stay. . .and became an art form. . was there, what pieces were prized, what could go, and .the painting and torchiere carry out a sculptural theme. what the space needed to provide. Before the Big Restyling Day, Sue assessed as well. She marked the pieces that were musts, like her Raku collection and After some special art; her desk for journaling at the window with its view of the lake; and of course, the baby grand piano. B-Day was slated for May 4th. Sue took off for Saugatuck with a coterie of friends and a promise to stay away until at least 5 pm when the new look would be unveiled.

Conversation wasn’t easy across the sun room. The sofa switched to face the fireplace, a chair corners it for easy conversation. Now the room has a focal point in the fireplace and views of the garden and lake outside.

Sue’s writing table stayed, just switched its angle, enhancing the view.

Sue thought this pair of chairs just had to stay together. They did- n’t. One moved to pair with the sun room sofa and her portrait moved to its fireplace wall. Now the living room sofa could move in closer to the fireplace, flanked by a sofa table with cushioned stools beneath. Page 6 May 24, 2001

Not bad. . .but this is better. It was Jane’s idea to borrow a buffet from the dining room. A mirror moves in, reflecting a view that can be seen from the entrance hall.

Lighting is of prime importance. “When you are working with the lamps and lighting fixtures that people have,” Carolyn explained, “you try to create a triangle of light.” Carolyn and Sue agreed she needed another lamp in the sun room, part of the “tweak- ing” that occurs when a room is restyled. Along with restyling a room for a new approach to living now, Carolyn will offer suggestions for what she feels can be future possibilities. Using what’s important to people, like the writing table before the window for Sue, a special reading chair that another person might love, or a special chair for watching television. “It’s all about working with the way people want to live,” Carolyn said. “Their special needs.” I could see that Carolyn could have helped in my quandary two years ago when I moved from my Long Beach home to a half-the-size cottage in Michiana Shores. What to keep and where was it going to go? Yesss! Sue Spitler and Carolyn Harris toast a successful collaboration.

FRIG. MAGNET HERE I was in the store the other day looking for graduation cards, when I realized that the people who actu- “One of the Best” ally write the cards are paid far too little. I appreci- ate a fair amount of sentiment at appropriate times, “A Great Restaurant” and I realize that “sappy” is sometime suitable. But “A Culinary Oasis” as I thumbed through row after row of “Congratulations,” “Great Job,” and “The World is at Your Feet,” I realized that there are times when more is needed. ! STARTING JUNE 4 ! Beyond the congratulatory language, the most preva- lent messages in graduation cards are words of Authentic Ethnic Specials: encouragement. While some card authors have done Indian, Japanese, Spanish, Greek, well in constructing pearls of wisdom, I have found some words of advice that apply on graduation day Middle Eastern, Mexican and beyond.

RESIDENTIAL BROKERAGE Page 10 May 24, 2001 “The Seventh Monarch” to Open

Sheri Nash-Braun as Miriam (right) and Dona Henry as Raina in “The Seventh Monarch.” A multiple award winning play written by Wheeler resident and Community Theatre Guild member, Jim Henry, will present its world premiere at Chicago Street Theatre on June 1st. “The Seventh Monarch” has won three international playwriting awards, and, after CTG’s June production, the play will be per- formed in Hollywood, California, where it will have its West Coast premier in October of this year. “The Seventh Monarch” tells the story of Miriam Hemmerick, a troubled genius who has lived in seclu- sion for the past twenty years. Miriam’s life is forever changed when she is visited by Raina Briar, a Social Security investigator. Examining a possible check fraud, Raina discovers the enigmatic woman wearing a plastic bubble helmet and her parent no where to be found. Who has been signing Miriam’s parents’ Social Security checks? The only explanation that Miriam can provide is that her parents flew away in a comet. Playwright and director, Jim Henry, is assisted by his co-director, Jonni Pera and the play features Sheri Nash-Braun, Dona Henry, John Taylor, Gary Jones and Doc Kuhn. Performance dates are Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, June 1-2, 7-9, 14-16. All curtain times are 8 p.m. There will be an Opening Night Gala on June 1 after the show.

We can tell you, with the CT Heart Scan! It’s exciting, advanced technology that has saved — and will save lives.

The person at the rental car desk at Sky Harbor air- Sheila port tried to talk me into upgrading my assigned Carlson Ford Focus to a sporty convertible. I wasn’t biting. One look out of the airport’s windows toward Phoenix’ skyline said one thing: smog. And although I was heading at least 100 miles north of the capitol city, the idea of a stinging hot sun beating down on my head did not appeal. That decision held firm until the fifth vacation day, when we were in the Flagstaff area. Flagstaff is usually at least 20 degrees cooler than the low desert places, and on this particular Monday 70-degree sunshine felt just fine. We had just left Walnut Canyon after a very brief visit to the National Monument. By brief, I mean about 20 minutes. The park, site of 800-year old Sinagua cliff dwellings along the limestone-rimmed canyon, has but two trails: easy and very difficult. At a record 15 G minutes, guess which one we took. We bypassed the 9/10-mile Island Trail that requires an 185-foot climb back to the canyon rim.

As we exited out of the long, pine-forested road to return to Flagstaff, we had the choice of taking the Interstate or driving along Historic Route 66. It was a no-contest decision and it was here that I wished that I had taken up the rental car clerk’s suggestion earlier in the week. As we sped, or more precisely, cruised along the two- lane white cement highway, I mentally hummed the theme-music of that great, 50’s television classic where Martin Milner and George Maharis cruised in their red ‘Vette, hair blowing in the wind, along that selling homes inc famous stretch of road.

But before one could say, “get your kicks…” we found ourselves smack in the midst of roadside commerce. Sheila Motels, restaurants, gas stations, and slowed-down Carlson traffic. I found that Flagstaff is an easy place to get lost in. Navigating Phoenix is easier. Round and round we went, wrong turn here, then there. Soon we were back on a crowded stretch of Route 66 again, but this time I spotted a place I had read about on the Internet. The Ford’s wheels jumped a curb and came to stop in a rough-gravel parking lot. I had found the O Museum Club, also known as “The Zoo.” Named by Car & Driver to be one of the nation’s top ten roadhouses, this biker-friendly tavern, dance hall, and betting parlor is the place that musicians P traveling along Route 66 would stop in to perform.

IF YOU HAD THE POWER TO SEE HIS FUTURE... YOU’D USE IT IN A HEARTBEAT

Introducing the HEART CT-SCANNER to LaPorte Hospital & Health Services

HEART SCAN: THE WORRY STOPS AND THE BEAT GOES ON

With incredible accuracy, the Heart CT-Scanner sees inside the arteries of the heart, and detects heart disease at its ear- liest, most treatable stages. A high score on this exam may be consistent with a moderate to high risk of suffering a car- diac event, like a heart attack, within the next two to five years.

The Heart CT-Scanner is safe. It’s pain-free. It’s non-invasive. It’s cost-effective. It doesn’t require a doctor’s order. It takes only 10 minutes. It’s worth it! It’s for men 35 to 65 and women 40 to 70, especially if you have one or more of the following risk factors: • Family history of heart disease • Obesity • High blood pressure • Smoking • Diabetes mellitus • Abnormal EKG • High cholesterol level, high triglycerides • Atypical chest pain or low HDL plasma levels • Sedentary lifestyle

Once again, LaPorte Hospital brings to our community the latest advances in heart health. Our board certified radiologists and cardiologists would love to help you.The Heart CT-Scanner—whose life will it save next? For your Clarian Health appointment, call 800-235-6204, ext. 2444.

What is a trip to the Sedona area without dipping into some New Age experiences? The Native American drumming circles may or may not be considered new age, but they certainly are everywhere within the Verde Valley. At the invitation of my Cottonwood friend, Maya, I attended a special performance of her duo, known as “As the Spirit Moves.” Maya and her friend Carol, a retired teacher from Michigan began performing to audiences in nursing homes, RV parks, and community functions a few years

ago. How they got started is an interesting story.

Carol and Maya had been booked to perform at a Caught In The Act Of large RV park in Camp Verde, where non-drumming vagabond RV-ers came to listen to the Native American sounds. Little did the audience know that before the evening was over, they too would be pulled into the hypnotic appeal of the music. Extra drums, rattles and sticks were passed around to everyone who wished to join in. A tentative stiffness of boom, shah, clack, clack evolved into set after energizing set. A new drumming circle was about to be born. Among the invited guests, Doris Grinsfelder, a former Marin County native, invited me to visit the rubber tire Earthship that she built on her Cornville property. I was interested in seeing how discarded and unwanted tires could be transformed into an attractive living space. Doris’ Earthship is well known to drumming circles in this part of Arizona. The retreat space, filled with airy wicker and old antiques, has a wall of windows on one side, a small woodburner on the opposite wall. White walls are plastered; the on the run... tires cannot be seen. Doris’ acrylic landscape paintings add color to the walls, and the cement floors are covered with Persian carpets that add more pattern and color. Print Advertisements • Logos

Paul builds his own kilns, too, using insulated Mexico. firebrick and spun ceramic fiber (looks like cotton candy, Paul was overloaded in college, majoring in but is considerably hardier!).

The 30-ton hydraulic press that does Dies for casting large pieces. ts job in 40 seconds. May 24, 2001 Page 51

Besides being an eminent potter and a topnotch builder, Paul has a wide ranging background. His first ordinary job at the age of 13 was at a fast food joint, but he quickly moved up to loading trucks for a higher wage, much heavier work and a longer week! He’s done construction work, plumbing, masonry, worked with concrete. It’s rather surprising, after all that heavy work, to see some of the exquisite pottery pieces he constructs. He has an ongoing fascination with the chemistry and the scientific areas of his work Did you know that elite bone china is made of calcium from ground animal bones? that zinc, besides being in those cold tablets in our medicine chests, is also a pottery glaze ingredient? The tallest piece Paul ever made was a 5’ tall floor vase, done in sec- tions on the wheel, then put together with ‘slip’ (dry clay remnants mixed with water), used as a potter’s glue, as well as liquid clay. Paul’s most popular ‘open’ ceramic pieces (such as dinnerware, bowls, but nothing with a narrow top opening) are made in dies and result in leather-hard pieces of pottery.

The potter at his wheel.

Tall Apple Jar.

The dies are processed in an enormous 30-ton hydraulic press which can turn out a working pot in 40 seconds! He Double Belled Jar. works with approximately 300 pounds of clay per day, using his own clay recipe. His greatest asset in mixing the Carved Cass. clay is a de-airing pugmill, a big ugly machine that has made his life in the studio a hundred times easier. Before its arrival at the studio, the clay had to be kneaded by hand, a job much more difficult than kneading, say, homemade bread. Paul generally works at a stand-up potters wheel, believing it’s less tiring than sitting at a wheel, as most potters do. If the piece is very large, he will move it to a second wheel which is at floor level and, thus, puts the tall piece entire- ly within reach. Business at Jeselskis Potteries Facet Bottle. is incredibly active. If Paul isn’t at the wheels or the molds or glaz- ing or loading kilns, he’s packing merchandise to ship to his clients, who are all over the country, or helping to unload the 5000 pounds of dry clay he’d ordered the week before. He has little time for visitors’ ooh-ing and ah-ing over his lovely creations, but often has pieces on display at the Schoolhouse Gallery in Furnessville. And this year he will be exhibiting at Ann Arbor Art Fair, the art fair in Cherry Creek, Colorado, and of course, our local Lakefront Arts Festival here in Michigan City in August. And a web page is coming up soon. If you’re driving by Jeselskis Potteries, 619 Eastwood Road (it becomes Moore Road, north side of Route 12), drop in for a quick tour of astonishing art and its equipment. You will be greeted by Paul, an amenable host, and, of course, the enchanting three-legged Gallop.

Gallop, the 3-legged charmer. Page 52 May 24, 2001 “Eureka!” Jessica Tampas Photography, Ltd. Fourth grade students at Notre Dame School learned the history of the Gold Rush and the “Forty- niners” through a simulation project, where points from activities would earn them gold nuggets. Teacher Lynn Delehanty would “round up” the students to the sound of cowboy music. They would then don cowboy hats and bandannas, assuming the role of miners. Each group developed a mining camp. The self- appointed names were: Western Hi Hoe’s; Golden Roundups; Burritos; Gunsmith; Taco Buccaneiners; and, Cheese Enchiladas. Duties were rotated as leader, prospector, or recorder of a log. In order to win golden nuggets, each group had to learn background information to be successful at claiming a mine. Of course, life wasn’t easy in the 1850’s. Selected fate cards could mean losing cattle because of poor planning, sacrificing your mining equipment in a gambling bet, or skipping a day of mining because of a snakebite.

This restored local treasure, an 1896 schoolhouse, will be part of the 8th annual Lakefront SRO Home & Garden Tour on June 16th.

Designer Cary Frank of Chicago, co-chair of the event, invites ticket holders to step into these country residences, cottages and weekend retreats that are as charming, creative and artistic as they are architec- turally significant. Tour-goers will also enjoy some “little extras” including lemonade on the front porch of the Gordon Beach Inn. Antiques and art collections are part of each home as well. The tour begins at 10 a.m. and will conclude at 5 p.m. (Chicago time). Tour-goers can pick up their tickets at Lovell & Whyte, 14950 Lakeside Road, Lakeside, Michigan. Tickets are $75 in advance for the tour and $100 on the day of the tour. Proceeds from the event benefit Lakefront SRO, a nonprofit community-based housing development agency pioneering innovative solutions to homeless- ness. Founded in 1986, it currently provides affordable, supportive housing to 892 formerly homeless and low-income men and women. Lakefront has seven buildings located on Chicago’s North Side and a 207-unit SRO building and Job Training Center in the South Loop. Work has begun on the ninth building, located in the Roseland area, and is scheduled to open in the fall of this year. For more information and to reserve tickets, phone 773/561-3800.
