Volume 22, Number 31 Thursday, August 10, 2006 Shining A Light on the City’s Past by Paula McHugh Do you happen to know what Michigan City’s best-kept secret is? It’s on Heisman Harbor Road, at the bend of the harbor. Have you guessed the answer now? It’s the Old Lighthouse Museum. “It’s amazing how many Michigan City residents don’t even know it’s here,” said Jackie Glidden, Lighthouse Museum director. The 1858 brick, 3-1/2-story building with its distinctive cupola has been attract- ing hundreds of out-of-town visitors for years. Many locals, however, confuse the original lighthouse with the fog-signal lighthouse at the end of the pier—the one that is a subject of many fine local pho- tographers’ lenses. So. Now that you have the correct answer, it’s time to tell you all about this historical gem, listed on the National Register of Historic Places and restored and kept up by dedicated local volunteers and Michigan City’s “Best Kept Secret” is the Old Lighthouse Museum at Washington Park. out-of-town lighthouse club members.

Every spring and fall members of the Hoosier Lighthousing Club tackle projects at the Michigan City Lighthouse Museum- they’ve built a new stairway to access the building’s lantern room, added an access to the cupola, and even rebuilt the support under the stairs to the attic. Members gather from across the country at the local historic building for the weekend blitzkieg labor of love. For more information about the organization, visit www.hlclub.org.

Groups can arrange for special tours and the museum volunteers have hosted dozens of out-of-town schoolchildren’s field trips. The Old Lighthouse Museum is located at the west end of Washington Park near the Yacht Club. Plus, the city’s Millennium Park just west of the Franklin Street Bridge adds a noteworthy aesthetic adjacent to the museum grounds. Museum hours are 1-4 pm Tuesday through Sunday.

by Bill Keefe

Wherever he’s vacationing, Paul Bunyan will have his ears tuned at noon Thursday, August 10, 2006. The towering figure of myth and legend will be listening to some kind words marking his 100th birthday. Mighty logger Paul entered the world of human fan- tasy on that date in an article published in the Oscoda Press, a publication that still appears in the sister towns of Oscoda and Au Sable, some 180 miles north of Detroit on Lake Huron. The article, titled “The Round River,” was the work of James MacGillivray, news- paperman who had worked in logging camps before surrendering to the lure of journalism. A public tribute to MacGillivray and his creation, Paul Bunyan, will take place in Oscoda, in front of the Au Sable and Oscoda Historical Museum, at the stroke of midday to mark the August 10, 1906 birthday. Among the dignitaries taking part will be Jerome Marks, special aide to Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm; Fred Glass, president of the Au Sable and Oscoda History Society, and local officials. In celebration of the museum’s reopening on August 10, the History Society will treat attending mem- Caught in the rain that fell upward, Paul invents bumbershoots that can bers of the communities to “a can of pop for $1.00 and be used as shoes. a free hot dog.” The refreshments will follow brief cer- A reading of a proclamation signed by Governor emonies at which speakers will recall the Bunyan leg- Granholm will be a highlight of the birthday party. end and the body of literature that grew up around No final text of the proclamation was available the original article and name. when this issue went to press.

As the place where Paul was born, we’ll give due honor to Oscoda as the ‘literary home’ of the world-famous, if legendary, figure. “We won’t be able to include Paul Bunyan’s blue ox, Babe, in the tributes. The blue ox came later in Bunyan’s history.” Feats of Strength With a combined population of about 8,000, the towns of Au Sable and Oscoda would just barely accommodate Paul Bunyan’s gigan- tic logger’s boots, one boot per town. The Au Sable River flows into Lake Huron between the two population centers. Parts of the former Air Force base, Wurtsmith A.F.B., still survive as a commercial landing field a short distance from the towns. Activated in the mid-1920s, the base saw peri- ods of use followed by closures when the facil- ities were no longer needed. The air base figures in some of the museum’s holdings. A project of the History Society, the recently renovated museum offers visitors historic artifacts and lore collected in both the Oscoda Intending to do some real hunting, Paul invented a gun with 76 barrels and Au Sable areas. and sets of complicated mirrors so that he could aim all of them at once. THE August 3, 2006 Page 13

The Dakotas inherited their barren regions when Paul Bunyan cleared trees in those states and trans- formed the land into arable ground. He scooped out the Great Lakes to provide water for his giant blue ox. Babe the blue ox occupies the spotlight in many of the Bunyan stories. A fabulous eater, Babe could gorge without a burp on huge amounts of hay and pota- to peelings. He could haul away an entire forest of logs. “Every time Babe needed new shoes, Ole the black- smith had to open a new iron mine in Minnesota.” writes one authority. “The shoes were so heavy that Ole sank knee-deep into solid rock while carrying them to camp.” Various explanations have surfaced to explain the Bunyan character and feats. Some researchers have attributed the legends to French folk tales about giants. French-Canadian lumberjacks may have transmitted some of the stories from more ancient tales of heroes. James MacGillivray remains the first to give a name and a persona to the “real” Paul Bunyan. That the legend grew additional chapters and appendices plus treatments in ballets, dramas, operas, and children’s books won’t affect the century-birthday bash in Oscoda. That part of the world knows where the legend got its start. The river that kept on rising up and whistling while spouting marine life and much more got Paul Bunyan’s goat--until Paul cut it up into nine-mile The drawings are from the book Ol’ Paul by Glen Rounds lengths and tied them into a bundle.

Paul Bunyan and his feats of strength, derring-do, and gallantry have also become integral to the Au Sable-Oscoda story__particularly in view of the birthday celebration. The legends that have developed around the original concept of the bigger- than-life character represent the contributions of both commercial organizations and imaginative writers. Some of the stories make it clear that Bunyan never let modesty intervene when discussing his exploits. Also, the mythical “frontier god” has never, in legend, limited his activities to logging-camp adventures. The Great Lakes inevitably enter his picture. One account tells of a heavy rain that began on St. Patrick’s Day and continued until the Fourth of July. As the story goes, “Paul got disgusted. He went to Lake Superior, saw a solid column of water (falling into the lake), and dove under it. “He swam up the water column, stayed an hour, and came splashing back down. As the rain stopped, he said, ‘I turned it off’.” No one questions Paul Bunyan’s ranking among the great legendary heroes who emerged while the United States was evolving over the twentieth century. In one tale or another he invented logging in the Pacific Northwest after first digging Puget Sound in Washington In a contemplative mood, Paul Bunyan ponders a way to to float logs to the mill. straighten a river.

Close to Home. A World Apart. THE Page 26 August 3, 2006 Potawatomi Program at Museum

A group of Potawatomi gathered at the Rush Lake Mission near Watervliet, 1906. Jason Wesaw of the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi will present a program on Leopold and Simon Pokagon at the Berrien County Historical Association’s 1839 Courthouse Museum in Berrien Springs. The program will begin at 6:30 p.m. MI time on Thurs., Aug. 10. The museum is located on Old US 31 (Cass Street) in Berrien Springs. Admission to the program is $1.00, or free to Historical Association members. Jason Wesaw is the cultural associate of the Pokagon Band. He has devoted his life to the study and preservation of the Potawatomi culture. His program, “The True Story of Leopold and Simon Pokagon” examines the lives and contributions of two famed Potawatomi leaders in southwest Michigan. Leopold Pokagon played an instrumental leader- ship role for his people during the federal government’s Indian removal efforts of the 1830s. It was largely through his efforts that the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi won the right to stay in Michigan when most other bands were forced to remove to the West. Simon Pokagon, Leopold’s son, became a favorite of white Americans. He spoke at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893 and authored several books, but his credibility with his own people suffered. Jason Wesaw’s presentation will focus on these two Potawatomi leaders and how their influence continues to the present time. The program is part of the Historical Association’s ongoing “Thursdays at the Museum” lecture series for 2006. For more information, phone the Berrien County Historical Association at (269) 471-1202.

On Opening Day, July 29, Clifford Peterson stood under the shade of a sycamore tree on an extremely hot afternoon and welcomed visitors to the farm and festival. He introduced his wife Lisa Lee, a professor of visual and performing arts at Purdue University, and daughter Lenna, who recently graduated from Purdue. The Petersons are a family of artists, including Clifford’s mother Isabelle. All of them created art pieces for the event. Clifford Peterson served as co-curator of this year’s environmental arts festival with Andrea Peterson, who is not related to him. The original concept for 1 + 1 = one sprang from the fertile imaginations of Andrea, a papermaker/printer, and her husband Jon Hook, a wood-fired pottery artist. Visitors to the couple’s Hook Pottery Paper, situated on an 11-acre farm north of LaPorte, frequently comment about their beautiful gardens and meadows. So in 2001, the couple got the idea to invite pairs of artists to collaborate on site- specific art pieces that could be enjoyed by the public. The 2001 1 + 1 = one event was such a success that another was held in 2002.

Clifford Peterson welcomes guests and explains the Opening Day program.

“Pittsburgh,” and “Oregon.” The books are stashed in the air vents behind pieces of wood. “I’m fond of hidden spaces – nooks and crannies,” Burke said of the site selection. “I like using a space that otherwise could be neglected or ignored.” On Opening Day, few of the artists were present to talk about their work. Visitors were left to observe the various pieces and come up with their own interpre- tations of the artists’ intentions. Many of the instal- lations were created, at least in part, from objects found on the farm.

Doris Johnson, LaPorte, and granddaughter Danielle Johnson, New Orleans, view the work of artists Andrea Peterson and Jon Hook, the originators of 1 + 1 = one. Clifford Peterson had heard about the couple and, recognizing kindred spirits, offered his farm as a possible location for future 1 + 1 = one events. By this time, a biennial schedule had been adopted. The larger site allowed organizers to invite 20 artists in 2004 and 28 artists this year. Maria Burke is one of this year’s invited artists. A 1993 graduate of LaPorte High School, she recently earned an MFA degree from Columbia College in Katie Wall’s mandala incorporates a variety of colorful organic materials. Chicago.

After pausing to appreciate the beauty of the bountiful spread, guests dug in and enjoyed the refreshments while listening to Elsa Littman play soothing music on a hammered dulcimer. Earlier in the day, visitors were entertained by animated storyteller Kathleen Zmuda, who punctuated her tales by strumming an Irish harp. Zmuda’s deft descriptions transported the audience to Midwestern prairies with Carl Sandberg’s “Rootabaga Stories,” to the Irish Isle of Innisfree with Yeats, to China with “The Dreamweaver,” a tale she said was “symbolic of the Peterson’s dream – this whole event is part of a dream they made come true.” In fact, the creation of a museum park on the LaPrairie Farm is a tribute to Clifford Peterson’s father, Sigurd, who planted trees, dug ponds and farmed the land while also teaching high school horticulture. He believed in preserving a mix of open spaces, natural areas and farmland to be enjoyed Storyteller Kathleen Zmuda transported by future generations.

Margaret Sullivan, fine fabric artisan and instructor of yoga, is searching for the eternal summer. Her hand-painted scarves and other accessories are being sold at boutiques in Hawaii and California and now, for the summer, at her studio in the Long Beach Community Center. “It’s important to have a sense of wellness and confidence in what you’re wearing,” she said. “I try to impart my sense of well-being in bringing my clients together with accessories that feel good.” To this end, she will be hosting “Girlfriend Nights” at her workshop/ showroom on Wednesday evenings, Aug. 16, 23, 30 and Sept. 6, from 4 to 7 p.m. Margaret expects to continue her regular hours through the summer at the former Long Beach School building — Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 11 to 5, Saturday 10 to 3, and Sunday 12 to 2; after Labor Day, by appointment. Besides hand-painted scarves she also produces wraps, stoles, dressing gowns, wrap skirts, sarongs, and occasionally a custom-made dress for a “mother of the bride” client. “Roses are my signature design element, classic roses,” she said, but she also does geometrics, ombre and hand- dyed embroidered fabrics.

Materials will be provided. On Saturday, Aug. 19, the emphasis will be on rhythm. Excerpts from concert pieces by Mozart, Shostakovich and Brahms will be played, and children will be encouraged to talk about the feelings aroused because of how the different composers use rhythm. Sunny will be accompanied in this presentation by Diana Ford, MCCMF board member and bass player for the LaPorte and South Bend symphony orchestras. Sunny Gardner-Orbovich, teacher of art and music, will introduce her children’s choir to this year’s Michigan City Chamber Music Festival. The children will sing at the opening concert Saturday evening, Aug. 12, at the Lubeznik Center for the Arts, and also on Tuesday, at the first of the educational programs in the Michigan City Public Library. “Children of all ages” are welcome to attend the educational programs on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, Aug. 15, 17 and 19, beginning at noon. “It is important for the parents and grandparents to stay with the children,” Sunny said, “because if the children get the idea that music is important to the grown-ups, then they’ll want to study it.” “Twinkle, twinkle little star” is the theme of the Tuesday event, in reference to the song that Mozart composed when he was only five years old. In addition to the choir, children from Nic Orbovich’s violin studio will be performing at this event.

Digging can only be done with a license. Walter’s interest in bonsai began over 30 years ago when his wife gave him a bonsai miniature as a birthday present. Since then his interest has continued. He explained to Garden Club members that no two trees are ever identical and that they all have features that make them unique. Therefore, bonsai practi- tioners have found it convenient to classify bonsai into broad divisions/styles based on their appearance. There are single trunk, multiple trunk and multiple tree or group styles. He has created trees in all of these styles. One of his favorite trees is his ponderosa pine. This tree has won several awards at the Midwest Bonsai Club shows at the Chicago Botanical Gardens and at the Prairie State Club show held at Cantigny. Garden club members asked many questions about this hobby. Has he ever “lost” a tree? Has he ever aban- doned a tree? How about the amount of time needed for care and feeding of trees? With a glass of cool lemonade members continued their discussion of the art of the miniature. Hostesses were Marianne Gosswiller and Rima Binder. If you are interested in this art form, contact the Dorothy Miller, Margaret Potter, Marianne Gosswiller and others Chicago Botanical Gardens for dates for the upcom- listening to the presentation ing Bonsai Show in late August.

Good Bridge and good food – put the two together and it makes for a fine day.

During the incredibly warm spell that week, I shopped early in the mornings, then spent about three days just gently cooking – cold salads for our pre-Bridge lunch on a hot day. I enjoyed every moment. Most of my recipes are below. They made a hit. That day, I named Ruth Shawly our guest of honor.

Drum Corps Rule I’ve been spending an unusual amount of time at

landscape and garden resource. YouTube.com lately. On a tip from a web guru, I found videos of some of my favorite drum corps and got to watch performances that I’ve missed the past two summers. Thank you, amateur video makers, and thank you, Internet, for giving us the opportunity to do so. If you have not ever experienced a drum corps competition or performance, the Internet isn’t exact- ly the best way to be introduced to the phenomenal ALL % musical performances. But it’s a start. I’ve surfed some PLANTS OFF other interesting spots this week, too. So have a look The early50 bird …….. and decide whether you want to log on and see for yourself.

Or is it called Music on the March? Whichever, it’s an event that will blow your socks off. Now, my personal favorite among the corps is Rockford, Illinois’ Garden Essentials Phantom Regiment, as the bumper sticker on my car attests. Type in “Phantom” in the search box and watch some great drumline drills. In second place, I like the Colts from Northeast Iowa for sentimental reasons. The musicians who participate in drum corps dedicate themselves to precision, hard work, dis- cipline, responsibility, teamwork, and on and on. They range in age from young teens up to 21—at which time they “age out” and must retire from the corps. The drum corps experience personifies all that is positive about what teens can accomplish and experience. When you watch the Cavvies perform on YouTube, you’ll get a tiny sampling of the great entertainment these kids provide to audiences around the country each summer. If you want to watch more drum corps, just type in “drum corps” in the search box and sit back and enjoy. You’ll need a broadband connection.

This infor- mational meeting is scheduled for Wed., Aug. 16th, at 5:30 p.m. at the Briar Leaf Golf Club, 3233 N. State Rd., LaPorte. (For directions: 219-326-1992.) Organizational meetings are held to introduce the EWGA, its history, mission, goals and objectives to women interested in having an EWGA Chapter in their area, and to identify volunteers willing to help estab- lish a local Chapter and serve on the Board. No prior golf experience is required and there is no charge to attend. Brooke Switzer, the local network coordinator working with the EWGA says, “We want to encour- age women from around the Michigan City area to attend - experienced golfers as well as women who have never played the game, but would like to learn.” The EWGA, with nearly 20,000 members in 120 Chapters in the U.S. and Canada, has taken a lead in promoting women’s golf through an array of clin- ics, events and seminars. In addition, it provides opportunities for women to learn to play golf, improve their skills and gain confidence in their playing ability while maximizing the sport’s benefits as a customer relationship and business enhancement tool. To RSVP for this meeting or to obtain additional information about this local Chapter opportunity, con- Area’s tact Brooke Switzer or Kristin Hadari at 219-879-8366 Landscaping Largest or [email protected] .

Michigan City, IN ia ______Phone Number: ______THE Page 66 August 3, 2006 Travels with Charley: Traveling Lightly to the Lighthouse in South Haven by Charles McKelvy Natalie and I consider South Haven our year- round haven from our everyday worries. We love to go that pleasant harbor at the mouth of the Black River for bicycling in spring, summer and fall and for walks around town in winter. And this summer we've gotten up to South Haven more often than we expected, and that's because our part-time employer, Classic Catering of Bridgman, has been sending us on a regular basis to the Lighthouse Inn Banquet & Conference Center on Phoenix Road just off I-196 to help cater weddings there. Some of our colleagues consider South Haven to be a bit of a hike from Bridgman, but we don't mind the 45-minute drive each way, because, even on Saturday afternoons, it's not a bad drive in terms of traffic or construction. And once we're past the mall and urban sprawl around the Pipestone and Napier exits on I-94, we're pretty much cruising in God's country as we hit I-196 The author takes a summer drive up to South Haven, courtesy of and head north along the lake. Classic Catering. Well, we can't actually see the lake from I-196, but we know it's there off to our left as we motor easily northward in light traffic through the sylvan splendor that is southwest lower Michigan. Ah, yes, it's often hard to imagine that we are actually going to work as we travel the undulating and curvaceous contours of I-196 in one of Classic Catering's vans or trucks. On our most recent trip, we proceeded north to Lighthouse Inn in a van driven by Melissa Klint and in the pick-up truck driven by yours truly. Our crew captain, Margaret Williamson, joined Natalie and me in the truck, and Melissa was joined by her lively teen-aged daughter Morgan.

We knew the drill, and so we all set about doing what needed to be done when we arrived at Lighthouse Inn. Melissa Klint, who once took her entire family on a missionary trip to Rumania, set to work on the fruit display, and Margaret Williamson sauced the chicken. The rest of us put water pitchers and butter dishes on the tables, made the coffee, and just made sure all was ready when the band leader announced that The author carts dinner was served. water to the thirsty guests.

I made quick work of the buffet tables so revelers could hit the dance floor and bogey to the bodacious sounds of Screaming Bob and Border Lyne. Yes, they were live and lively, and yes, they were one of the best bands we've heard in a long time, especially when they got down with some classic rock 'n' roll. Lighthouse Continued on Page 68

Cake by Bit o' Swiss of Stevensville.

Crew Captain Margaret Williamson sauces the raspberry-pecan chicken. Okay, dinner was served a few minutes later than expected, but that didn't bother us in the least, because we all know that weddings run on their own special time. As in: "Oh, they stayed at the church a little longer for some more photographs." Or: "They wanted to go to the beach and get some pictures there." And so on and so forth. Doesn't bother us in the least, and it didn't bother us that the bride and groom and their guests were a bit longer in getting to the buffet line than expected. We managed to keep the food piping hot through our closely guarded catering secrets, and thus we did not receive a single complaint when the bridal party Torey (left) and Melissa Klint perform the ritual cake tasting in South and guests finally got down to some serious chowin'.
