The Labor Day Weekend It’s hard to believe that summer is almost at an end and that another Labor Day weekend is upon us. The Beacher staff would like to take this opportunity to say.... Thanks to ALL the advertisers and to our faithful readers who support them.
Labor Day Labor Day is observed throughout the United States in recogni- tion of the dignity of labor, falling on the first Monday in September each year. Labor organizations sponsor various celebrations, but for most it is a day of rest. It also has become a symbol of the end of summer. Peter J. McGuire, general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, May 18, 1882, at a central Labor Union meet- ing in New York City, proposed that “a day be set aside as a festive day, during which parade through the streets of the city would permit public tribute to American industry.” The motion was adopt- ed and plans for the first Labor Day celebration made. On Sept. 5th of that year, workers staged the first Labor Day parade in New York City. October 7, 1884, at an American Federation of Labor meeting in Chicago, A.C. Cameron, member of the Typographical Union 16, intro- duced the following resolution: “Resolved, That the first Monday in September each year be set aside as a laborers’ national holiday, and that we recommend its observance by all wage workers, irrespec- tive of sex, calling or nationality.” In 1887, Oregon became the first state to make Labor Day a legal holiday, followed the same year by Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York. By 1890, Connecticut, Nebraska and Pennsylvania had followed suit. In 1894, President Grover Cleveland signed a bill making Labor Day an official legal holiday for the whole country. World Wide Celebrations Labor Day is also observed as a legal holiday on the first Monday in September in Puerto Rico and Canada. In Australia, Labor Day is called Eight Hour Day, and commemorates the successful strug- gle for a shorter working day. The Australian holiday varies from state to state. In Europe, Labor Day is May 1. August 28, 2003 Page 3

On Wed., Aug. 27, a replica of the Nina will arrive in Michigan City and dock at Millennium Park by the Franklin Street bridge, for one week. Self-guided tours will be available from 9 a.m.-7 p.m. The charges are $4/adults, $3.50/senior citizens, $3/students 5-18 yrs. Children 4 and under are admitted free. Built completely by hand and without the use of power tools, Archaeology magazine called the ship “the most historically correct Columbus replica ever built.” The original Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria used by Christopher Columbus on his first voyage across the Atlantic were common trading vessels. The Santa Maria, which Columbus never liked, ran aground and sank on Christmas Eve 1492 in Hispaniola. She was a Nao, a type of cargo vessel. The Nina and Pinta were caravels, and were used by explorers during the Age of Discovery. The Pinta returned home and disappeared from history without a trace, but the Nina, now there’s a woman with a past.... The Nina was Columbus’ favorite and for good reason. She was named Santa Clara after the patron saint of Moguer. A Spanish vessel in those days had an official religious name but was generally known by a nickname, which might be a feminine form of her master’s patronymic, or of her home port. Santa Clara was always called Nina, after her master- owner Juan Nino of Moguer. Vincente Yanez was her Captain on Columbus’ first voyage, and he later dis- covered the Amazon on an independent voyage. arms and crew. The captain, Alonso Medel, escaped Nina made the entire first voyage, bringing with a few men, stole a boat, rowed back to the Nina, Columbus safely home. She accompanied the grand cut her cables and made sail. She returned to Cadiz fleet of the second voyage to Hispaniola and Columbus in time to sail for Hispaniola early in 1498, as advance selected her out of seventeen ships for his flagship on guard of Columbus’ third voyage.

If This Is “Going Back to School” Season…What about New Learning for Adults on ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS? Ted Perzanowski is hosting a free workshop that overviews the essential life skills he can train you to use, skills used in response to life experiences like these… • Your inner peace often gets derailed by really overreacting to people or situations. • You ignore or downplay your problems. • Your life is a struggle. • You always have to be in charge or have it your way. • You (or others) feel you are shut down or, on the other hand, too sensitive.
Great benefit can be gained from counseling and therapeutic guidance to address issues like these. However, an alternate approach is to learn skills that you can use yourself to interpret your life challenges, learn from them, and move forward in a new and healthier way. Learning essential life skills can enable you to: • Work through challenging issues effectively on your own • Identify your own keys to navigating life’s roadblocks and valleys • Struggle less in significant relationships at home or at work • Increase a sense of ownership, satisfaction, and peace in your life. • Engage in life rather than shut down to it If trying to “get it together” feels like an all-too-familiar and discouraging effort in life, perhaps Ted Perzanowski can be a beneficial learning support for you. Register for this introduction to essential life skills by calling 219.879.9155 with your name and phone number. There is a limit of 10 persons for this workshop. ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS WORKSHOP Saturday, August 30, 2003 • 10 to 11:30 AM 1400 Tryon Road, Michigan City, Indiana Parking is available at 1400 Tryon Road and at Niemann School across the street. Ted has been an essential life skills trainer for 10 years. He has a BA in Philosophy and a Masters in Divinity. Ted meets with clients in Michigan City, Chicago, and by phone. AL FRESCO!

By Jan Van Ausdal On August 21st, Opening Day of the 24th Michigan City In-Water Boat Show (free that day to Michigan City residents), I explored this event. Unfortunately, later in the afternoon, the heat became almost unbear- able. The absolute highlight of my visit was my opportunity to go sailing on the Hunter 216 sailboat, courtesy of Sail America. But let me take you through my day. Members of the Press were given badges and media packages from Shawn Fergus, Public Relations and Activities Director of the show. Director of the Boat Show, Norm Schultz, told me, “This started in 1980. I’m the first and the only manager it’s ever had.” He Norm Schultz, Boat Show Director, welcomes the crowd. continued, “There are somewhere in the neighborhood of 285 exhibitors, give or take a few. That’s up from Boat Show Director Norm Schultz welcomed the peo- 270 last year. We’ll have the ribbon cutting about 5 ple to the show.

Boat show visitors Bruce & Sharon McShane from Jackson, Michigan. Waiting for the official ribbon cutting and opening of the show, I spoke with Bruce and Sharon McShane of Jackson, Michigan. They said, “This is our first year here. We got one of these little cards in the mail and we figured we’d come down and take a look. We’ve been in Jackson 3 to 4 years. Before that we lived in Florida and we’ll go back south as soon as we get a chance.” Bruce added, “ I’m a sailor and I believe in the real boats, the one with the masts. I want to take my wife out on the water for a sailboat ride. We’ll look at some boats, too. What a nice day it is—nice and hot!” A line of people waiting to enter the show. August 28, 2003 Page 17

Boat Show Continued from Page 17 ride was pleasant; the McShanes commented when we passed the Michigan City lighthouse. Our boat was a daysailor, a small sailboat without overnight accom- modations but with one sail and a mast. The crew used a motor to help us get turned around; the ride seemed shorter than the half hour it took. When we returned dockside, I filled out the bot- tom of the questionnaire about my interest in sailboating (I DON’T want to buy a boat!), picked up my personal things, and thanked Lia Spinelli. She gave me a complimentary video on Discover Sailing, The Ultimate Adventure. Lisa said, “Our primary function is to pro- mote the growth of the sport of sailing, and we decid- ed to do so with some of these demo rides. Hunter Marine has sponsored us. Our upcoming shows include one at Miami and one at St. Pete the first weekend in Chuck & MaryTellbuescher of Sea View Video Technology, Inc. November.” Sea View booth, Chuck and Mary Tellbuescher dis- played under-water cameras and video technology from Bay Pines, Florida. The feature of their booth was Diesel, a Lab-Rot mix puppy of only a month and four days old. Nate and Lindsey Simpson of Flossmoor, Illinois, thought Diesel to be a great attraction. Then I chatted with the Kennys—Mary, Madelyn, John, and Katie, from Grand Beach. John said, “This is our first time at the boat show. We’ve been here for three hours, and we’re enjoying it. We just bought a little sail boat!”

Meanderin’ with Maggie
The Schoolhouse Shop in Furnessville just seems to get better every year. Furnessville you ask if you are a newby? Go West is the answer, west on Rt.s 20 or 12, toward national and state park territory and you’ll find it, a real old-fashioned schoolhouse on a country road surrounded by trees and flow- ers. Not much old-fashioned inside if you don’t count the antiques and art gallery. Inside you will find a warren of rooms filled with too much to begin to describe like an oriental Buddha sit- ting next to a lamp with fringed and beaded Victorian silk shade; it’s little juxtapositions like this that making shopping here spe- cial. There are artifacts from everywhere, signed collector’s china; jewelry; linens and luxe toiletries, a Christmas shop and aisles of gift ideas, candies, cookies, a pantry shop and Glad Rags, a shop of fine women’s fashions. No wonder people make it a day- long shopping adventure when they visit The Schoolhouse Shop and Antiques. There are added draws as well. The Patio Plate Lunch could be reason alone to visit. Outdoor umbrellas beckon visitors to stop and look over the landscape, listen to water rippling down the hill through the woods, new additions over the years that add to shopping pleasure. Many come for The Farmer’s Market on Friday and Saturday; many more will come for the Celebration of the Arts that will be held this year on September 20th and 23st, an event that gives meaning to the term fine art.

Word has been spreading about the Patio Gourmet Lunches according to Ray Krizek who said they recently hosted a Tri Kappa meeting and an 80th birthday party on the patio. For those visiting the Celebration of the Arts in September, a special catered menu will be offered.

It doesn’t take much meandering to find the Dunes Summer Theatre in Michiana Shores and its cur- rent production La Cage Aux Folles, still running through August 31st. It’s different, it’s fun, it’s a farce about family, not a conventional one to be sure, but family nonetheless. Robert-Eric West, director, is a stand- out on the stage as well; John Boss does musical magic with songs by Jerry Herman who brought us Mame. You may remember it as the movie “Birdcage” with Robin Williams and Nathan Lane, but La Cage was meant to be a musical as this production proves. La da da, da da da, the lovers’ Song on the Sand, kept coming back to me long after the performance was over. Kudos to the DAF for some new experiments in the- atre this season.

collaborated in preparing a bitter end for Singapore: They felled the great stands of trees that surround- ed them. As Douglas, Michigan historian Kit Lane has noted in her short history of Singapore, “The dunes, stripped of their cover (of trees) were moving steadi- ly to (bury) what remained of the village.” Driven by the encroaching drifts out of the first floor, Jim Nichols moved to the second. Quoting again from Lane, who is quoting from a resident of Holland: “But the winds never rest for long. In time this sec- ond-story retreat of the lone fisherman came in turn of invasion. So Jim picked up his pack and baggage and again moved upstairs. Grand was the view, but tedious was the ascent.

She’s also good at reminding me, after an interview, of something I may have overlooked. I call her the food- stuff staff assistant.
