Columbia College Comes to Beacher Country

Volume 18, Number 25 Thursday, June 27, 2002 Columbia College Comes to Beacher Country by Paula McHugh The song says, “June is busting out all over.” Well then, July promis- es to be bursting with multiple arts experiences to keep your summer calendar full—beginning this weekend, in the waning days of June. You may have already heard the buzz. This Saturday, the place to be in Beacher Country is at the John G. Blank Center for the Arts. That’s when Columbia College will be offering a multi-arts extravaganza encom- passing not only visual art, but also dance, jazz and literary readings. Columbia College, for those of you who may not know, is the nation’s largest arts and communications college.

This is the place to be on Sat., June 29: The John G. Blank Center tor the Arts, 312 E. 8th St.

A spectacular opportunity to sample the extensive creative menu of Columbia College’s faculty on Saturday evening is just the beginning of several events the premiere Chicago arts college has in store for Beacher country residents. Kicking off with the Blank Center gala in Michigan City, Columbia College has also arranged Saturday Night Theater and Cookouts in Grand Beach through July, where the college’s theater department will present “Art” by Yasmina Reza. Also in July, two Columbia faculty will be conducting a theater arts camp for kids at the Blank Center. More about that a little later… And this is the place to be in July when The Tall Oaks Inn in Grand Beach/New Buffalo will host five Columbia 2 Art Workshops for Adults during the month of July.

Peter LeGrand has been a photography professor at the college for the past 15 years and a professional freelance photographer for corporate clients. He’s been using infrared film on his excur- sions to the dunes over the past twelve years, where his images of the nude in the dunes and the lake, he explained, symbolize “the (lake) puri- fying qualities, of the human being uniting with the waters and rising from it.” Peter said that when he was still an amateur, teachers at his very first weekend photography workshop told him he was “a terrible photographer, a total disgrace to the profession.” “Suitably humbled I asked where I could learn more and the next thing I knew was that I was embarked on a graduate degree in photography,” Peter said. When asked which photographers he most admired, Peter named Edward Weston, Imogene “Standing Nude in the Dunes” by Peter LeGrand. June 27, 2002 Page 3

I am truly sorry that space does not permit me to show you all of the exhibitors and their beautiful wares. Everyone was so gracious and eager to explain their craft. The whole day was like a giant family out- ing! Terry and Lorraine Hanover, gracious owners of Center of the World Workshop. Terry showed me that touching the hinge of this cabinet turned the lights on inside it!

First musical group of the day consisted of (l-r): Raymond Pettke (Buchanan, MI), Jeff Adinolfi and Paul Larson (both of Bridgman, MI). Don and Evelyn Kroening are from Benton Harbor, MI; he calls his business Segmented Wooden Bowls. A black and white photo doesn’t do these bowls justice.

Have I ever seen such a varied and beautiful selection of wood? I don’t think so. Ash, aromatic cedar, maple, oak, cherry, sassafras...the list goes on and on! It was a touchy, feely kind of event; wood is warm and alive and whether you were looking for furniture, bowls, clocks, wall decor, or something for the kids, it was all there. Even members of the Berrien County Woodworkers Guild had their own area set up behind the shop featuring, among other things, a gorgeous wood bed. Center of the World Workshop is located at 13400 Red Arrow Hwy., Harbert, Michigan. Tell them Sally sent you! Relaxing in the shade were Bob Bender, Betsy Muellen and John Muellen.

Their annual meeting and lunch were recently held at Camp Hazelhurst, Michigan. Lorry said that “The Prairie Club was to the Midwest what the Sierra Club was to the West and the Appalachian Club was to the East.” A video of “The Prairie Club: A History of the Early Years” was pro- duced by Westchester Public Library of Chesterton, Indiana. The Prairie Club is a non-profit volunteer orga- nization, which gathers to enjoy nature and recreation and works to improve our environment. Meanwhile, Guitarist Steve Ball played his guitar and sang while seated on a log in the shade.

The County Minstrels (Dot Pakan and Gary & Susan Brown) were performing their music on an accor- dian, a harmonica, and a guitar, in a shady spot under trees. A most popular ride with the children was a ride in the Swiss Verde car belonging to Walt Breitenger of Valparaiso. He drives his car from Valpo to his work as a stockbroker in Merrillville every day. Away from work, he’s an environmentalist. The car’s slogan is “Burn Fat, Not Fuel.” Pedaling is optional, while the elec- tric motor is necessary. The maximum speed is 54 mph; the car can go about 35 to 50 miles on a charge.

Dunes.” Also an “Earth Walk” was held for children with environmentalist Randi Light. Inside the Barker House, it was time for cake and coffee to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Save the Dunes Council. One boy told his friend, “Hope there’s enough cake!” The County Minstrels performed for the singing of “Happy Birthday” and during the time refreshments were served. Fifty candles on the large cake were blown out and then the youngest guests were permitted to go first to get their cake. A fitting end to a momentous occasion!

Alex Smeets helps pedal the “Burn Fat…Not Fuel” Verde. The car itself weighs about 500 pounds. Walt offered me a ride so I could see what it felt like to ride so close to the ground. The bottom of the car inside cannot support any weight, so one must sit on the seat and place one’s feet on the pedals. I chose to pedal while Walt drove out for a short distance on Barker Road. The car was comfortable, but it felt strange to be in such a small vehicle and to be so close to the road itself. Other afternoon activities included “Biodiversity in the Dunes” presented by the Grand Calumet Task Force and a slide presentation by Herb Read on “Lost Lighting the 50 candles on the birthday cake.

What? Gourmet Food in an Art c foodstuff by carolyn m connell Gallery?

When I walked into Panozzo’s Pantry, I thought I was in an art gallery. No, not one of those snooty ones on Chicago’s Oak Street, but a pleasant, friendly, neighbor- ly art gallery at the edge of New Buffalo. Along with being a lovely-to-look-at gallery, there’s a spacious array of useful oils, flavored vinegars, fancy pastas, all that good stuff, and all beautifully displayed. Gourmet food is also offered – things like chocolate sauce in a tall sleek bottle (said to be a finer hostess gift than a bottle of imported wine), numerous cheeses, Italian breads, Scottish oatmeal, imported candies, Irish chocolates. Too, there’s kitchen utensils made of everything from stainless to neon, cutting boards, table linens plus crockery bowls, hand painted tableware. There’s even an avocado peeler with its own Panozzo’s Pantry, New Buffalo, Michigan personal television set to outline its good points! café in Lakeside, Michigan, and, for years, was a Another unusual kitchen item – squishy flexible sil- popular spot for breakfasts and Sunday brunches.

Among them are French toasts, syrups, a tofu-eggless assembly, various biscuits. From one of her other books, mentioned below, I myself am planning a brunch for fellow food-nut friends, and treating them to Patty’s Asparagus and Smoked Salmon Crépes. That recipe sounds spectacular. Why did Patty Panozzo, chef/owner/cooking teacher of this art gallery, open this beautiful shop? She’s determined to make your cooking chores easier and more beautiful. She contends gourmet products encourage high-flavor-but-low-effort for modern day cooks, most of whom are too busy to spend much time in their kitchens. She adds that high- end kitchen equipment increases one’s production in that kitchen, making food preparation more Our friendly art gallery. attractive, inviting and just downright fun.

Entertainment for this pleasant competition will be provided by Michigan’s own Art Gomper Blue Grass Band. Can anything be more fun than grillin’ and foot stompin’ in such attractive surroundings on a lovely summer day? On the 21st, when the barbecue and the blue grass concert end, stroll through the beautiful friendly art gallery that’s full of all that wonderful stuff! And enjoy to the hilt.

Patty Panozzo is launching one of her popular cooking classes. (Note the elegant vintage stove.) In Patty’s recently published cookbook A Need to Feed, I found the recipes enjoyable (see my favorite below), but I also felt I’d been introduced to her entire family. Nona-next-door (her Italian grandma) and grandma-down-the-road (the one from Croatia), brother Alex sharing his leg of lamb recipe, her dad Tony an agri-producer of over 2,000 acres near Kankakee, sisters Marie and Lorena.
