TRANSCRIPT
From the highway, and in this case, Indiana 49 directlynortheast of the toll road, drivers catch a glimpse of the tree-tops-tall whalespout of a fountain ringed by rolling hills. Thosefamiliar with this stretch of road, those who regularly pass byhere after dark, describe the same area as “looking like an air-port runway.”
What people are seeing as they catch a daylight or eveningside glimpse from their steering wheels is a portion of theCoffee Creek Watershed Preserve. Just a small portion, how-ever.
If those same motorists were to make a right turn on 1050North and another right at Kelle Road, they would find that thoserunway lights are there to illumine walking paths. They wouldalso discover that the fountain is only one of many focal points
along five milesof looping walk-ing trails. Theland, donated byLake Erie Landin 1999 to pre-serve this biodi-verse area, isopen to the pub-lic 365 days ayear from dawnto dusk.

Olé, Au Lait! Coffee Creek’s Serene Surprisesby Paula McHugh
A wall of water
The treetop high fountain can be seen from Indiana 49 and from many of the bridges and overlooks along the
5 miles of trails.

The word is slowly getting out. Here’s a new, full-of-surprises spot beckoning one to put aside thehurry-scurry of an over-scheduled life. One comes tothis place to appreciate nature’s gifts. Prepare towalk easily along crushed granite trails, woodenboardwalks, wide brick paths wooden bridges.Whichever route one chooses, he is in for a pleasantsurprise around every bend of the trail. A hidden
waterfall here, a lazy pond there. Large, flat stoneshave been placed strategically, making it easy foranyone to hop across the water currents. Benches arespaced rightly for short or extended pauses. Best ofall, right now and hopefully forevermore, no trash lit-ters the landscape. What a splendid omission from whatmost of us are accustomed to as we trod well-worn pathselsewhere.
The entry to the outdoor amphitheater area.
(Right) They look like 3 commas or arrows, but one can envision an audience sitting on this grassy area, listening to a concert from
the stage (left). This is the Chesterton Amphitheater area. Directly behind the amphitheater stage,
a multi-tiered wall of falling waters.

Coffee Creek Continued on Page 4
But let’s dwell on the inclusions. Nature takescenter stage here, as well it should. Songbirds war-ble, butterflies twitter, polliwogs scoot beneath the waterlike miniature arrows. Columbines splash a touch ofcolor along the predominantly green landscape. Appleblossom petals have fallen so that juicy globes of redwill eventually fill the autumn palette here andthere. Almost faster than the eye can perceive, olivefrogs splash away from larger threats, lush lily padsshade their hiding places in low marsh areas.
It’s said that Coffee Creek got its name in theearly 1800’s from a caravan of wagons whose occupantsaccidentally dropped a sack of coffee beans into thecreek. That’s the tale they tell in the Visitors’ Guideand trail map that one can pick up from woodenboxes along the pathways. Others say that the creek’sname derives simply from its looks. Yet the smoothrocks laid along the creek bank, visible from at leastone of the many wooden bridges, work a kind ofmagic to turn the stream translucent. Yes, you can seeall the way to the bottom.
The Coffee Creek Watershed Conservancy Board,whose goal is to identify, maintain, and enhance thebiodiversity of this lovely preserve consists of repre-sentatives from five area non-profits: the ShirleyHeinze Environmental Fund, Save the Dunes Council,Coffee Creek Life Center, Izaak Walton League-Porter County and the Steelheaders of NorthwestIndiana. They’ve outlined sensible rules that applywhen visiting the watershed preserve. For example,this is not a place for swimming, boating, camping,peddling, littering, and loud noise. At least five 5K-trail races are scheduled by non-profits this yearand the annual Hometown Picnic is in its third year.
One of many wooden bridges found within the five miles of trails.

Coffee Creek Continued from Page 3
The preserve offers a wonderful setting for weddings and fam-ily reunions also. The large Pavilion is an open area with twostone fireplaces flanking each end, and a few more grills closeto the creek. A few steps away, a “moss-roofed” restroom facil-ity with a variety of wildflowers growing up top makes for anunusual sight. The Pavilion parking lot is located on 1050N andDickenson Road.
Joggers and bikes are welcome here. Wheelchairs, too. Beingpartial to leisurely walks, my thinking is that moving anyfaster means missing the tiny dramas going on below the sur-face of the creeks and ponds. Like the polliwog puddlings men-tioned earlier. And, oh, to be outside absorbing fresh air and thosesunshine vitamins while lolling near one of the waterfalls.Unplug the table fountain and get outside. Take a good book along,too. Annie Dillard, Scott Sanders, or Thoreau might be good choic-es.
If you plan to visit the Coffee Creek Watershed Preserve, Ihope you’ll come with a solid sense of respect for what this nat-ural oasis has to offer. Stay on the trails, put litter in its place,keep the boomboxes at home.
Walk softly. No big sticks needed.
The Weir Bridge is another place to skip along the flat slabs of rocks and catch a peek at zigzagging polliwogs.
The fountain is out of camera range here, but this picnic areatakes advantage of a close view of the waterspout. Skip from
rock to rock here and enjoy the relaxing babble-bubble ofcascading water.
The Pavilion area is flanked by two stone fireplaces and fit to accommodate large gatherings.

(To reach the Coffee Creek Watershed Preservefrom I-94, take IN 49 south. After the 3rd stoplight,get into the left-hand turn lane. You’ll see thefountain on the left, and you’ll turn onto anunmarked brick road. The Duneland schools busbarn is on the other side of IN 49. If you go to thetoll road stoplight, you’ve passed the preserve).
This photo demonstrates why moms dread emptying their son’s pocketson washday. The lads found the creek at the overlook too tempting tostay on the rocks. While I caught them (unawares) with my lens, they
were busy catching crayfish or who knows what?
The Creek Overlook invites kids of all ages to stop by the bend in thecreek to take a relaxing break. With a frog and lily pad-filled marsh
on one side and the creek bend on the other, it’s a wonderful spot to observe nature’s diversity.
Unplug your table fountain, grab some good reading, and head to theCoffee Creek Watershed Preserve for a fresh-air dose of serenity.
Most of the trails within the preserve accommodate easywalking. Inclines are not much steeper than this. Bikes,
strollers and wheelchairs are allowed here.

I cleaned out my satchel after classes ended. WhenI did, I discovered a great many scraps of paper thatwere dated and filled with lists of things that had tobe done that day. Some of the lists were completed,based on the scratch marks made across each task.Others had very little marked off, making it appearthat very little had been accomplished on that par-ticular day. “To Do” lists, be they on paper or calen-dar, computer or organizer, are a way of life for manypeople. They aid those who are organizationally chal-lenged. They remind those who have busied themselvesto the point that memory is of little help.
As I looked at my “To Do” lists, I wondered whatothers would think about me based on what I had writ-ten on these many pieces of paper. Would they thinkme highly efficient? Would they wonder why certaintasks were always pushed to the end of the list?Would my order of tasks be a fair representation ofwhat was important to me on a given day or on anyday?
I suppose that the answers to these questions alldepend upon what I included on my list. So, what’son your list? Do you put things on there that you woulddo anyway, just so you have something to mark off?Do you actually list “Make ‘To Do’ list” as your firsttask? Do you recycle your lists? Do you compile themor throw them out at the end of the day? Most impor-tantly, what do you remind yourself to do everyday?What is foremost on your mind when the day beginsand the page is clean? That is what really matters.
Thomas Carlyle has provided the literary world withhis own version of the “To Do” list. It may not be asspecific as the ones that we scribble onto note paperor carefully load into our palm pilots. But it is muchmore poetic and touches on the most important thingthat must be done on any given day – that is to takeadvantage of the day that has been given to you.
Todayby Thomas Carlyle
So here hath been dawningAnother blue day:
Think! wilt thou let itSlip useless away?
Out of EternityThis new day is born;
Into Eternity,At night will return.
Behold it aforetimeNo eye ever did;
So soon it foreverFrom all eyes is hid.
Here hath been dawningAnother blue day;
Think! wilt thou let itSlip useless away?

Introducing theHEART CT-SCANNER
to LaPorte Hospital& HealthServices
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:

Health Care the Way It Should Be — A Superior Value!
Who Is At Risk?Men over 35 and women over 40 are at risk for heart disease, and
may benefit from the CT Heart Scan.Persons with one or more of the fol-
lowing are at higher risk:
• Diabetes• High blood pressure• High cholesterol• Overweight• Tobacco use• Inactive lifestyle• Family history of
heart disease
What shape is your heart in?
We can tell you, with the CT Heart Scan!It’s exciting, advanced technology that has saved — and will save lives.
The CT Heart Scan screens the heart for coronary heart disease, by showing how muchplaque has built up in the arteries. Plaque is a sign of increased risk for sudden heart
attack. The scan is quick (20 minutes) and easy. You don’t have to fast or prepare for it.

Festivities begin officially on Thursday, June 7 at 4 p.m.(Michigan Time) with the opening of the rides and games ofCarnival Sun Valley Amusements near American Legion Post204 at 204 W. Linden Street. The carnival operates throughthe rest of the festival and features an exciting assortment ofrides and amusements for all ages. Thursday will be “wrist bandnite” at the carnival.
The celebration picks up tempo Friday evening at 4 p.m. withthe Ronald McDonald Magic Show at the Three Oaks PublicLibrary at 3 N. Elm Street. The carnival also resumes 4 p.m.,and there will be plenty of baseball action that evening witha Little League tournamet beginning at 6 p.m. at Watkins Parkon Locust Street and a slow-pitch softball tournament at theAmerican Legion’s diamond at the end of Linden Street.

-The popular Pet Parade winds around Carver Park at the corner of U.S. 12 and Oak Street at 9 a.m. Therewill be a petting zoo in the parkfollowing the Pet Parade;

Post-parade festivities and live musiccan be enjoyed in the beer tent at theLegion Hall.
While Three Oaks does provide asmuch free parking as humanly possiblefor a small village, please take this tipfrom veteran attendees of the Flag DayParade and related events: ride your biketo Three Oaks that weekend and you won’thave to worry about finding a parkingspot.

Indiana Post Office MuralsThrough the months of June and July, The Depot
of Beverly Shores Museum and Art Gallery will be pre-senting a new exhibit, “Indiana Post Office Murals.”The Depot is located at 525 Broadway, Beverly Shores,just north of Highway #12. The Depot is open Fridays,Saturdays and Sundays from 1-4 p.m. Admission isfree, donations are welcome.
“Indiana Post Office Murals” includes photographsof elaborate and colorful murals that were installedin numerous Indiana communities during the 1930s.These murals were commissioned under the aus-pices of the New Deal era. In 1934, the federal sec-tion of painting and sculpture was established to“secure suitable art for the embellishment of publicbuildings”.
The exhibit focuses on the history of 36 of the orig-inal 37 murals commissioned and executed for Indianapost offices. The murals portray the American scenewith stories of the towns and of their people. Manyof the murals are still on display today in post officesthroughout Indiana, including the communities of CrownPoint, Culver, Monticello, Lafayette and Napanee.
The murals are featured in the recently publishedbook, A Simple and Vital Design: The Story of theIndiana Post Office Murals, available for sale at theDepot. The exhibit is made available through theIndiana Historical Society and will be on display atthe Depot through July 31.
The Gallery: A Fine LineBeginning June 8, The Depot is proud to feature
a local artist, Fred Semmler. The exhibit, “A Fine Line,”refers to the fine line between commercial art and fineart. The collection represents a culmination and cel-ebration of Fred’s 40-year career as an illustrator andgraphic designer. You’ll see Fred’s work as a youngcommercial designer in Chicago for Marshall Fields,Sara Lee, 3M and more… through his later works inoil, watercolor, and other medium including thefamous South Shore posters.
Also, part of the exhibit will illustrate how art

takes form, from initial drawing to final piece. Fredwill illustrate the various stages of art and demon-strate the transformation from concept to finished piece.
“A Fine Line” showcases Fred Semmler’s talents inmultiple art mediums and highlights his most favoritepieces.
Fred will be at the Depot every Sunday so youcan meet with him and get his personal perspectiveon the many pieces in this collection. A reception isplanned for Sunday, June 10 at 2:00 PM. All are wel-come to attend.

Travels with Charley:
Hiking the T rails to Adventure at Fernwoodby Charles McKelvy
Last year at this time I urged you all to head on overto Fernwood Botanical Gardens & Nature Preservein Niles, Michigan for another season of their “SecondSunday Concerts.”
Ditto for this year, and the dates for the 2001 con-cert series which began May 13 with a performanceby violinist Carla Trynchuk are: June 10 (WilliamMartin, tenor), July 8, August 12, and September 9.
Co-sponsored by Fernwood and radio station WAUS-90.7 FM, the concert series is free for members ofFernwood and WAUS. All performances begin at 3:30p.m. (Michigan Time), and, weather permitting, willbe held in the splendid Beikmann Herb & SensoryGarden opposite the Mary Plym Visitors Center.
Basic membership to Fernwood is a mere $30 peryear, and WAUS, which is based in Berrien Springsand bills itself as “your 24-hour classical connec-tion,” accepts annual members at $35. Phone Fernwoodat 616/695-6491, and/or WAUS at 800/553-9287 for moreinformation.
And now kindly join your faithful correspondent andhis wife Natalie for a sneak preview of the 2001 sea-son.
Actually, we arrived at Fernwood on a recentSunday afternoon when there was no concert, soplease permit this remembrance of last year’s seasonopener:
Soprano Julia Lindsay, joined by Linda Mack onharpsichord, Debbie Parker on recorder, and RitsuOikawa on violin and viola digamba, offered us amelodious banquet of “all music from before 1750.”
My favorite was a haunting song written by AnneBoleyn in the Tower of London as she awaited her exe-cution: “O Death Rock Me Asleep.” Anne Boleyn, of
course, was the mother of Elizabeth I, and the secondwife of Henry VIII.
Julia Lindsay, who teaches music at AndrewsUniversity in Berrien Springs, said: “It was impor-tant for every Elizabethan lady to be an accomplishedmusician.”
Lindsay demonstrated her own accomplishment asa musician by taking a turn at the harpsichord.
The concert was interrupted only by birds, bees, andthe wind. Appropriately, Lindsay and company endedwith a song written for William Shakespeare’s greatoutdoor play, “As You Like It.”
I have no doubt that this year’s offerings will be everybit as good as that, and I now see from my notes thatI neglected last year to give you a proper review ofFernwood’s fabulous trail system.
So, in service to Beacher readers everywhere,Natalie and I took it upon ourselves during our recentSunday visit to take foot to such trails as: River, Ridge,Fern, Oak Woods, old Field, Pine Woods, Arboretum,and the wild and woolly Wilderness.
Please be assured that all but the Wilderness Trailare relatively flat and within reach of the fairly fit day-hiker. Also be it known that they all have their cer-tain charms, even the River Trail which unfortu-nately features passing motorboats on the St. JosephRiver.
In fact, we were stopped along the latter enjoyingthe play of sunlight on the fast-moving waters ofthat fabled river when a passing hiker said: “May yourday be unmolested by a passing motorboat.”
Fernwood Botanical Garden & Nature Preserve in Niles, Michigan, is open to the public every day but Monday.
Flowers will be blooming at Fernwood from now until fall.
June 7, 2001 Page 35
Moments after he said that a motorboat did indeedpass along the river, but somehow it all seemed rightwith the world we were then inhabiting because wewere smack dab in the middle of what can only bedescribed as a truly magical place. While resting onthe deck the Fernwood folks thoughtfully placedalong the River Trail, we were reminded of that won-derful Renoir painting at the Art Institute in Chicagothat shows a man and a girl on a deck gazing at a lake.
We got quite a workout climbing the Wilderness Trailup from the river to the top of the river bluff, but theeffort was worth it because we passed through athrilling panorama of ferns, wild flowers, and forest
and heard and saw more flitting birds of variousfeathers than we could possibly hope to identify with-out the aid of a seasoned birder. We saw deer printsand sensed that a fox was watching us as we ascend-ed the trail.

Fernwood Continued from Page 35
In short, the long walk through Fernwood’s gentlewilderness was wonderful.
And that’s true of the Fernwood trails any time ofthe year.
Two words of caution, however: biting insects.Yes, from now until the first frost of fall one is
likely to be met by a multitude of mosquitoes, deer-flies, and their ilk out along the trails of Fernwood,so do go caparisoned for battle with the bug world. Yes,that means long pants, long sleeves, white shirts, hats,and shoes and thick socks. Sorry, but those are therules if you want to enjoy the natural splendor ofFernwood’s outback without falling prey to the bitinginsects.
Bugs aside, you will delight in discovering thatFernwood’s winding, tranquil trails take you from arestored tallgrass prairie through wooded slopes, by
ponds and marshes to the banks of the St. Joseph River.But by all means bring plenty of bug spray.
Also bring your own picnic to enjoy during the con-cert, or dine at Fernwood’s Cafe which offers fullservice from noon to 3 p.m. (Michigan Time) onSunday.
You’ll also be given plenty of time to visit thenature center and gift shop, see a living display of honeybees and have time for contemplation in the JapaneseGarden.
Founded in 1964, Fernwood is open year-round.Summer hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (Michigan Time)Tuesday through Saturday and from noon to 6 p.m.on Sunday. Fernwood is always closed on Monday togive the ferns, flowers, birds, and bees a day away frompeople.
Admission is $4 for adults, $3 for seniors over 65,$2 for students, $1 for children six to twelve, and freefor children five and under. For a $40 annual mem-bership, you get free admission for one year for thecardholder and up to five guests and other benefitssuch as discounts on the many classes offered atFernwood throughout the year. Phone 616/695-6491.
From Michigan City, take U.S. 12 east to U.S.31. Then north on 31 to Walton Road; west onWalton to Range Line Road, and north on RangeLine to the well-marked entrance.
Photo opportunities abound at Fernwood.

Veterans on ParadeA brief “bio salute” to some of our area’s veterans who quietly and bravely served our country
in both peace and conflict.
Today we turn our spotlight on WWII veteranHoward Keller. “Howie” was drafted on Feb. 9th andsent to Camp Haan, California for Army Basic Trainingand training on Quad Fifties ( an anti-aircraft weaponusually mounted on half-track mobile vehicles). Hethen was shipped to Glasgow, Scotland, by way of CampKilmer, New Jersey. After more training, Howardwas sent to Normandy, France (thru Omaha Beach)by way of Southhampton, England. His outfit, the 469thAnti-Aircraft, then joined in the savage hedgerowbattle around St. Lo, France. Finally, General Patton’s3rd Army tanks broke out from St. Lo and the 469thAck Ack joined the 79th Division protecting theinfantry and artillery units trying to keep up withPatton’s tanks. Finally, Patton was stopped whenhis gas rations were cut. So the 469th, along with the79th Division and the rest of the 3rd Army set up defensepositions for the winter of 1944-45. However, whenthe Germans broke through the Ardenne Forest in whatis known now as the “Battle of the Bulge”, and trappedthe 101st Airbourne at Bastogne and the 82nd justnorth of the town, Patton sent a relief column oftanks plus units of the 79th Division which includ-ed Howard’s 469th AA. He said fighting was fierce asroadblocks and heavy fire from their flanks in bru-tal winter weather was continuous. The 469th AA wasused in direct fire supporting the 79th Infantry as theyfollowed Patton’s lead column of tanks.
They arrived in Bastogne three days after it wasrelieved by Patton’s tank column and held there untilthe Bulge was restored. They later crossed the RhineRiver on a pontoon bridge (erected by the Engineers)
and captured Stuttgart, Germany. They later moveddeeper into Germany until VE Day when the war inEurope ended.
Howard and the 469th was then sent to CampChesterfield in Rheims, France, then by train toMarseilles (a seaport in southern France). He was thenshipped by boat back to Camp Kilmer, New Jersey.From there he was shipped by train to Camp Atterburynear Indianapolis. He was there until the war ended(VJ Day) and was discharged in December, 1945.
Howard was awarded four major battle stars as wellas all the other European ribbons and should havereceived the Croix de Guerre from France but isn’t tooworried about it now. “Getting home from the war with-out being wounded or killed was better than anymedal or award,” he said.
In 1949 Howard married Maxine and raised two chil-dren in LaPorte. Maxine died in 1970 and Howardmoved to Michigan City and married Luella in 1972.He worked for the Teledyne Corp. in LaPorte for 30years. He had joined Post 1130 VFW in LaPorte in 1946and then transferred to Post 2536 in Michigan Cityin 1972 and has been in the Post Honor Guard since1972 as well as House Committee member, By-Lawscommittee, etc. He was elected Post Commanderand also served as Post Trustee for three years afterCommander, and has always been involved in post affairsand helping the disabled vets. He is an avid bowlerand loves to argue politics with his friend, RepublicanArt Stark.
So we again salute one of our combat veterans ofWWII, who proudly served his country, his family, hisVeteran Posts, the disabled and his community—Howard Keller!
