Have a Heart For John Hart This Fourth of July by Charles McKelvy

“First prize: one week in Philadelphia. Second prize: two weeks in Philadelphia.” —W.C. Fields

My parents are from Philadelphia, and many of my duty every Fourth of July for the last 51 years with relatives still live there, so I know how hot and the “shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and muggy it can be there on the 4th of July and the rest illuminations” bit. of the summer.

I’ve always imagined those 55 gentlemen swelter- ing in there with their waistcoasts and stockings and what-nots, but Virginia delegate Thomas Jefferson has finally set me straight. Jefferson, who of course went on to become our third President, was the Weather Channel of his day. So he noted that the birthday of the United States of America at 6 a.m. on the fourth of July, 1776 in down- town Philadelphia “was bright and pleasant” with the mercury at 68 degrees Fahrenheit, the wind south- east, and a later day-time high of only 76. Not bad for Philly on the Fourth! Massachusetts delegate John Adams, who of course went on to become our second President, wrote his wife Abigail that the occasion “ought to be celebrated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this con- tinent to the other, from this time forward, ever- more.” I’d say we’ve done a terrific job of following Mr. Adams’ advice, and I for one have certainly done a patriot’s John Hart June 28, 2001 Page 3

His lands were laid waste and his mill property was badly damaged early in the war, and he himself was for a time a fugi- tive from the British invaders. His health became impaired, and he died in 1779 at the age of 68, before independence had been won.” So, while we’re all out toasting our local Fourth of July “illuminations” this year, let’s also hoist a glass for a man fellow signer Benjamin Rush described as “a plain, honest, well-meaning Jersey farmer, with but little education, but with good sense and virtue enough to pursue the true interests of his country.” God bless America!

The Liberty Bell The Liberty Bell is a pre-Revolutionary War relic that was first hung in 1753 in the newly finished Pennsylvania State House, the building that would eventually become Independence Hall. It weighs more than 2,080 pounds and was originally pur- chased by the province of Pennsylvania for about $300. The bell is inscribed with the words “Proclaim Liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof” and is from the Bible (Leviticus 25:10). It was rung on the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 8, 1776, inaugurating an Independence Day tradition that was observed every Tent Sale BARGAINS year (with the exception of 1777-78 when the bell was removed and hidden from the British occupiers of 75% off Last Sale Price Philadelphia) until 1835.

The garage, squad area, and evidence rooms are part of the new structure built behind the original 1931 building. The new area also has a women’s locker room with shower stalls. The newly added hallway also allows access to the supply room, coffee room, and council chambers. The former kitchen area, described as a “tiny box” has been replaced by a much larger and brighter space on the western Chief of Police Robert Sulkowski appreciates the extension of the building. extra large office he now occupies.

Two brass sliding poles, reaching three stories, remain on either side of the building’s vestibule. Used as an alternative to the stairs by former chiefs, whose living quarters were on the top floor, the poles today remain as historic reminder only. Skylights are to be installed at the top of the pole shafts, streaming light down onto the entry area. The former third floor area now houses the heat- ing and air conditioning equipment, and what remains of the sec- ond floor is a balcony surrounded by replicated “tic tac toe” windows. The effect is a spacious, bright and airy Prairie Style room for coun- cil meetings. The furniture, light fixtures, ceiling, and even the car- pet resonate to a Lloyd-Wright signature. Town Council President Tom Ringo said that the $1.25M reno- vated building turned out to be “a far cry from the original plans.” Despite a ramp for wheelchair access, the former building was not compliant with ADA standards, and the entire building had fall- en into what he described as “terrible disrepair.” Long Beach Continued on Page 6

Each of the quirky brass poles is now encased in a narrow shaft with a skylight on the roof.

Town Council President Tom Ringo said that the renova- tion has been “a real community project.” The council’s new Prairie Style table and chairs were donated by the Long Beach Civic Organization. Page 6 June 28, 2001

The council had discussed tearing down the building and starting anew, but a group of preservationists strong- ly objected to the building’s demolition.” Two fac- tions—those who felt that saving the building made no fiscal sense, and those who believed that John Lloyd- Wright’s structure merited historic status, engaged in numerous, emotion-laden debates. The preserva- tionists prevailed, gaining official historic status for the building from the state. “The council made a lot of effort to maintain the old and the new,” Tom said, adding that a lot of person- al time went into the construction planning. He laud- ed the work of Fanning/Howey, Larsen/Danielson, Dave Merkle, Greg Momberg, and everyone involved in the building’s design process, an effort that took four years. Besides having to conform to stringent ADA stan- dards, the work also had to meet the specifications of A partial view of the council chamber. the Historic Preservation officials. Thanks to the efforts of state representatives Mary Kay Budak and Anita Bowser, the council obtained a $75,000 grant to help fund the project. Tom said that he is hoping that the state legislators, along with Scott Pelath, will be on hand at the ribbon-cutting ceremonies. “This is a real community project,” Tom said. “The Long Beach Civic Organization has donated furniture for the council chambers, and the Sprague family is donating trees for landscaping. And other families have said that they are interested in donating trees, too.” He said that instead of marking the trees, he would like to see the donations memorialized in a book kept on display at the Town Hall. Tom said that the Town Hall ribbon-cutting had been planned to coincide with Long Beach’s annual Fourth of July festivities despite the disparity of the original building’s dedication on July 5th, 1931. That’s because, The original Long Beach Town Centre was dedicated 70 years ago.

“The Man of LaMancha,” the musical which made “The Impossible Dream” an American standard, opens Wed., June 27 and continues through Sat., July 7, as the first musical of the 33rd Canterbury Summer Theatre Season at Michigan City’s Mainstreet Theatre. This internationally-acclaimed musical play com- bines the madly comic eccentricities of the immortal fictional figure, Don Quixote, with a moving account of the adversities of his creator, Miguel de Cervantes. Joseph Ginnane, a five-year veteran of the Canterbury’s Resident Company, will appear in the dual role of Cervantes/Quixote, transforming himself from soldier of fortune turned novelist into the “knight of the woeful countenance” before the audience’s eyes as he pleads before a kangaroo court of rogues in prison who want to consign his manuscript to the flames. To prevent the loss of his writings, he entertains the ruffians with tales about the adventures of his bum- bling hero, Don Quixote de La Mancha. The story is told through the words and songs of creator Dale Wasserman. Supporting cast members include Vincent Murphy as Sancho, the doltish servant who becomes his squire and loyal right hand. Melanie Bell will portray the slut- tish scullion maid whom Quixote imagines to be the Lady Dulcinea, symbol of purity. Ian Strimple will por- tray the knavish innkeeper who is called upon to administer Quixote’s dubbing into knighthood, Mark Catlett will be the Padre and Micah Lane the callous Melanie Bell and Joseph Ginnane star in doctor, Carasco.

Six-year-old Nicholas looked seriously at my wife and asked: “Is this your race, Grandma?” Rose couldn’t understand what Nick meant, so he repeated the question: “Is this your race?” She finally realized that Nick was wondering about Grandma’s Marathon in Duluth, Minnesota. The event actually gets its name from a restaurant near the finish line: Grandma’s Saloon & Deli, an early spon- sor. Wells Fargo Bank and Target now provide more sponsor money, but the name remains part of the mys- tique of this marathon along Lake Superior’s North Shore. With more than 9,000 runners, Grandma’s is the 11th largest marathon in the United States, the only one that large not in a major urban center. (Duluth’s population is 85,000.) Rose confessed to Nick that the race was not named after her, nor was she running it. Those duties passed to Grandpa Hal on the eve of my 70th birthday. Grandma’s Marathon on June 16 would be my last race as a 69-year-old before moving into a new age group on June 17. It seemed fitting to run the marathon as part of my birthday celebration, but was one marathon enough? A decade earlier, I had run 6 marathons in 6 weeks to celebrate my 60th birthday. That proved too diffi- cult to repeat, but 7 in 7 months seemed doable. And as long as I was running a total of 183.4 miles, why Hal Higdon at the finish line--one down, seven to go! not do so for a cause? Get people to pledge money per mile. Thus, the idea of running 7 marathons in 7 months focused on women’s cancers.

I’ve been visiting Duluth for more than a half century. When I was a boy growing up on the south side of Chicago, my father used his two-week vacation each year to go fishing at Camp Idlewild north of Grand Rapids, Minnesota. To get there, we passed through Duluth, sometimes stopping for an overnight stay. One time, when I was still in elementary school, I left the hotel to walk down Superior Street and encoun- tered two local toughs. They threatened to beat me up if I didn’t get off their street. As I told a capacity audience to a lecture I gave the day before Grandma’s Marathon, “That was the beginning of my running career.” Duluth seems friendlier today. The marathon begins near Two Harbors sever- al dozen miles east of town and follows a wind- ing road along North Shore Drive before Hal and son-in-law, Pete Sandall, ride the train to the start. emerging on that same Superior Street.

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.

Courtney’s Top Ten Beacher Articles (As complied by the home office in Long Beach, IN) Sometimes I had to delegate my writing duties to other reviewers due to time constraints or other con- siderations. Two such reviewers are featured in the following article. I picked them because, besides being rather amusing characters, they were field mice and, therefore, aptly suited to review the selec- tion for the week. Enjoy.

The group was sponsored by The Mainstreet Association and Top Dog Restaurant. The per- formers range in age from 7-12 years and spend their summers training and improving their skills. As these photos show, the kids put on a “class act.”

Ringmaster in training. The jugglers were quick and colorful.

The trapeze troupe. Clowns, clowns and more clowns--what’s a circus without them?!?

Now that takes practice and talent! It looks like the kids enjoy the trampoline a lot. The ringmaster takes charge. June 28, 2001 Page 33

Barker Mansion is located at 631 Washington Street in Michigan City. Involved in the creation and setting up of the new exhibit were Celia Zubler, Mary Kintzele, and Elke Zimmerman, the mansion’s textile curator. This year’s theme was Elke’s idea, and she told me, “Each year while working on the exhibit, next year’s theme comes to mind!” The current display, (on the first and second floors of the mansion), shows a wealthy Michigan City fam- ily (not the Barker family) going through all the preparations necessary to take a summer vacation, probably to Michigan or to Wisconsin. First in the foyer, Welcome to Barker Mansion! we see the chauffeur standing between the trunks and the silver (which will be taken along). The oldest child usually carried the birdcage, while younger children would be in charge of the other pets, such as the dog beside the trunk. It is likely that the chauf- feur would drive the family to the train station to ride the train to their destination.

Photographs on top of this case were of Catherine’s own second floor bedroom. Reconstructive work is currently under way at Barker Mansion. Wall coverings on the second and third floors will be replaced with what will replicate the original wallpaper, as near- ly as possible. Something new on the first floor is the Gift Corner, in a cup- board in the hall. Mary Kintzele showed me items on the left side of the case. On the right side of this cabinet are other items, sold for souvenirs and for children’s gifts. Some things avail- able include teapots, miniature trinket boxes, ornamental hatpins, children’s historical books, ornaments, paper dolls, and mini shoes (really pin cushions). Celia proudly said, “This is our own new book, (which we’ve had since January first), titled Barker Mansion, Heritage with a Future.” Plan to attend the Barker Mansion’s 4th annual June Tea, on either Wednesday, June 27th; or Friday, June 29th at 3:30 p.m. in the mansion’s gardens. Terry Pabon, a staff member, will present the program, “Facts and Fancies of the Victorian Ball,” while wearing an authentic pink 1895 ball gown with black trim designed and created by Elke. Flautist Margaret Rich (also attired in a period costume) will provide background music. National Honor Society girls will serve the refreshments, which include lemon bread, scones, assorted tea sandwiches, pink petit fours, and Earl Grey tea. The cost is $18, and reser- vations are accepted by phone: 873-1520. On the days of the teas, you can tour the new exhibit at 2 p.m. for a cost of $4. “1905: Preparing to Travel to the Summer Cottage” can be viewed at Barker Mansion through September 30th. Regular guided tour times are 10 a.m., 11:30 a.m., and 1 p.m. on week- days and at noon and 2 p.m. on weekends. For more informa- tion or to make reservations, phone 873-1520. You’ll enjoy this chance to experience what life was like in the summer of Mary Kintzele beside the new gift nook. 1905! June 28, 2001 Page 53 It’s a Long Beach 4th of July

The page is old, but it may come as a revelation to learn that sponsoring an entire suite of furniture (sofa, chair, ottoman and television) costs—(are you sitting down?)— around $10,000. The cheap way to go is to sponsor a lone television. No wonder we saw many lone televisions. We were almost at the end of our northern sojourn along Michigan Avenue when “Hot Dog with Everything” came into view. Despite the fact that it’s another sofa you cannot sit on, it is cute, and almost makes up for the lack of cows. Maybe in two years Chicago can have a “hot dogs on parade.” Appropriate it was to encounter this reclining hot dog just a half-block from the historic Water Tower.

A person doesn’t have to be a journalist to know how to find the elusive haunt of the late, great Mike Royko, but it helps. For out-of-towners, it isn’t Royko who made the Billy Goat famous. No, it was John Belushi and Saturday Night Live, of course. Cheeseborger, cheeseborger. No fries, chips. No Pepsi. Coke. Who’s Royko, tourists ask. Hmmfff. I broke from tradition and ordered a hot dog. And remembered the only other time I had been in this room, back in the ‘70’s when Royko was playing 16-inch soft- ball at Grant Park. Teams besides journalists would stop in with their wives after a game, and Saturday Night Live had not yet made the place famous.

by Charles McKelvy

When worshipers return to St. Agnes Catholic Church in Sawyer Sunday, July 1 to celebrate a “Grand Reopening” Mass at 10:30 after a three- month $300,000 renovation, they will find what pro- ject architect Rod Thomson describes as a “little jewel box.” Thomson, who heads Thomson Architectural Services in Stevensville offered that description June 14 as the first of 23 stained glass windows was set in place. “And that’s just the first of 23, and it’s on a west- facing wall with morning light, and look at all the color that’s coming through,” Thomson said. Looking on with Thomson were the church’s pas- tor, Father Don Suberlak, C.R., and the two artists responsible for the windows, Joan Hector and Toni Smith of Hector Glass Studio in Three Rivers. It fell to the church’s faithful facilities manager, Phil Smith, to As Mark Svorec of Twin Cities Glass in Stevensville “schlepp” the first window to its appointed place. glazed what Hector and Smith called their “Moses win- dow” into place, the two nervous artists finally allowed themselves to breathe a sigh of great relief. They hastened to tell Father Suberlak and Bill Pagel, partner at the project’s general contractor, Pagel & Frey LLC of St. Joseph, that the effect when all 23 windows were in place would be even more dra- matic. Still, they were pleased with the play of light through the “dalles de verre,” or slabs of glass, win- dows. “At night when there are lights on inside, the church will look like a lantern to people passing by on Sawyer Road,” Hector said. Explaining that the nine windows on the west side of the reconfigured church tell the creation story from the Old Testament and the nine windows on the Mark Svocec (middle) of Twin Cities Glass in Stevensville east side depict key scenes from the New Testament prepares to set the first window in place. from Advent to Pentecost, Hector said, “The whole idea is to draw the eye toward the big center window behind the altar. That will be a blaze of gold with shots of yellow and orange light.” And mounted before that will be a “corpus” of the crucified Christ specially created for St. Agnes by sculptor Suzanne Young of Livonia, Michigan. It fell to the church’s facilities manager Phil Smith to drive round-trip to Livonia in his pick-up truck on June 11 and collect the corpus from Young and deliver it safe- ly to the church. “I brought along plenty of blankets, and I wrapped it up very carefully,” Smith said after his safe return, “but I’m sure there were some truckers out there on I-94 who wondered just what I had back there on the bed of my truck.” Young sculpted the life-size figure from wax and then General contractor, Bill Pagel (back to camera) holds the made a casting and created the final figure in a hard first stained glass window in place as it is installed.

plastic. She portrayed Christ in his last moments of agony on the cross, and parishioners who got a sneak preview of her work were awestruck and likened it to figures they had seen in churches in Italy. “That’s exactly the effect we want,” Thomson said. “All we were really doing with this project was restor- ing this church to its original glory.” In addition to installing the stained glass win- dows, workers from Pagel & Frey and their sub-con- tractors moved the sanctuary 180 degrees to the north end of the church facing Sawyer Road, restored the ceiling to its original wood, opened a new entrance complete with a spire that complements the existing bell tower, installed muted carpeting in earth tones, painted and decorated, and created two chapels and a “cry room” that will also serve as a bride’s room and a confessional. Project architect, Rod Thomson, and Toni Smith (middle) and Joan Thomson said the muted colors for the carpeting Hector of Hector Glass Studio watch as the windows are installed. and walls will serve to draw attention to the 23 orig- inal works of art created for the church over a three- month period by Hector Glass Studio. After displaying the muscles in her right forearm that developed from continuously wielding a five- pound hammer to craft the windows, Toni Smith said, “We started working on the windows in February after we got the glass from the Blenko Glass Company in Milton, West Virginia. But we had to reorder Artist Joan Hector epoxy and glass several times during the three months with the “Moses” we worked on the windows.” window she creat- Hector explained that the slabs of glass are secured ed for St. Agnes Church. with epoxy and said that the full effect cannot be appre- ciated until the windows are set in place. Indeed, various parishioners reacted negatively during two open houses during the construction pro- ject when they first saw the windows leaning against a wall. But when Phil Smith put a window in its prop- er place to allow the light to pass through, there were only contented “oohs and aaahs.” Hector said a large quantity of epoxy was needed to set off the slabs of glass, adding that the individ- ual pieces of glass dictated the final look of each win- dow. “Each window was like putting together a puz- zle,” Smith said. “You didn’t know where you were going to end up until you started cutting the glass and arranging the different sized pieces.” They pointed to the first window installed as a prime example. “That big piece of orange glass with streaks in it became the center piece of that window,” Hector said. As per her custom, she will write an artist’s state- ment for the church explaining her vision behind the windows. She also said she and Smith will be on hand Sunday, July 8 from 12:30 to 2 p.m. for the church’s open house. Thomson said he also would be pre- sent. Joan Hector and Toni Smith were all smiles June 14 after the successful installation of the first windows at St. Agnes Church.
