“Indiana should really be proud of the role Mike Pence played in getting planting flexibility relief for Indiana farmers.” —Steve Austin, Red Gold

Welcome»

Mike Pence Hoosiers excited as Governor-Elect prepares to take office The election of Mike Pence ushers in a new era of leadership, and as Pence takes the oath of office to become the 50th Governor of Indiana, Hoosiers are hopeful and optimistic about the future of the state.

A lifelong Hoosier, Pence grew up in Columbus with three brothers and two sisters. After graduating from Columbus North High School, he went on to earn his undergraduate degree from Hanover College in 1981, followed by a J.D. from Indiana University School of Law in 1986.

Five years later, Pence became president of the Indiana Policy Review Foundation in Fort Wayne, and in 1993, he started producing “The Mike Pence Show,” which broadcast on radio stations throughout the state until 1999. Indiana voters elected Pence to Congress in 2000 (he earned a sixth term in November 2010). He chaired the House Republican Study Committee during the 109th Congress, has served on the House Judiciary and Foreign Affairs committees and makes

annual trips to visit active Hoosier soldiers stationed in the Middle East.

A vocal advocate for fiscal responsibility, smaller government and sustainable economic growth, Pence has always believed strongly in supporting Hoosier farmers, entrepreneurs and small businesses. To that end, his Farming Flexibility Act has allowed Indiana farmers the freedom to plant alternate fruit and vegetable crops on base acreage, an effort widely praised by the state’s agricultural producers.

“Indiana should really be proud of the role Mike Pence played in getting planting flexibility relief for Indiana farmers,” says Steve Austin, director of government affairs for Red Gold in Elwood.

Pence and his wife, Karen, an elementary school art teacher and honorary chairwoman of the Riley Hospital’s Art Therapy Initiative, have three children — Michael, Charlotte and Audrey.

As Pence takes his new office and assumes the responsibilities of leading our state, we wish him all the best.

Diane Kondrat will lead a powerhouse ensemble as Martha in what is considered Edward Albee’s masterwork, “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” Ivy Tech-Bloomington is proud to present this “Community Farewell to Diane,” as this will be Kondrat’s farewell performance in Bloomington before moving to Portland, Oregon, this spring. Kondrat will be joined in this production by Bill Simmons as George.

Little visitors flock to the Water Works, an elaborate water-play station that includes a vortex, pipe system, and shooting balls. WonderLab rotates display of exhibits from its extensive permanent collection and offers new themed exhibitions at selected times of the year.

Check the museum’s website www.wonderlab.org for more information.

Louise Schlesinger, marketing director, says the WonderLab offers big city quality with a small city welcome. She adds, “People like the friendliness and the size of what we offer because it’s enough to keep you engaged as a family without being overwhelmed.” Others seem to agree.

WonderLab not only has made the Parents Magazine 25 Best Science Centers list, but also has earned “recommended” status on TripAdvisor.com Bloomington offers many other familyfriendly locales to pair with a museum trip.

kidscommons in Columbus Kidscommons offers three floors filled with interactive exhibits, the most popular being a giant toilet. Diane Robbins, community relations marketing manager, says she doesn’t know of any other in existence.

Robbins said the toilet has attracted national attention to the museum and even been mentioned twice on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.” Children can climb into the colossal toilet and crawl or slide down its plumbing.

The big commode is part of the museum’s ExploraHouse exhibit where visitors learn the ins and outs of a home by darting through everything from the chimney to the attic.

Other highlights include the giant climbing wall, a 17-foot replica of the front of the building and the Kids-AT-Art exhibit, which allows budding junior artists to use recycled material to create souvenir masterpieces.

Within the same kid-friendly city block of kidscommons, families can visit a number of other fun spots such as Zaharakos, a century-old ice cream parlor; The Commons, a spacious, free indoor playground; O’Child Children’s Boutique, a unique children’s apparel and accessory store; and several family-friendly restaurants.

Hotel Indigo, a short walk from the museum, offers an “Imagine and Explore Package” that includes lodging and four kidscommons admission tickets.

Then they whiz down the slide to the first floor and repeat again. Lynn Hughes, Executive Director, touts the Bubble Ring as the second most popular attraction.

The ring makes visitors feel as if they’re completely encased in an immense bubble.

After touring the museum, visitors can walk over to the Clabber Girl Museum and dine at the Bakeshop. The Bakeshop serves breakfast, lunch, and homemade bakery items.

The Candlewood Suites, located next door to the Terre Haute Children’s Museum, offers a museum package that includes four museum tickets, lodging, and a pizza dinner.

Fisher says, “If they walk out of here understanding the real world connection between what they saw in the museum and the outside world, that’s powerful. If they walk out of the museum saying science is fun, that’s the most powerful of them all.”

traveliN Winter 2013

oes the weather have you chilled to the bone? Warm up with some great soup and comforting Italian cuisine by visiting some or all of the restaurants on the Indiana Foodways Alliance’s “Soup, Salad and Sandwich” or the “Italian” trails. On a cold winter’s day there is nothing better than a bowl of warm

20

soup and a sandwich. Why not mosey to Marion to K Bistro, where the restaurant has a different soup to try each week. Or try the Bistro Chili or Roasted Apple and Tomato Bisque that appears on the menu regularly. David Kay, executive chef and owner of K Bistro says, “K Bistro is a fusion of French cuisine utilizing Hoosier bounty and inspiration. We create an innovative, yet relaxing and non pretentious dining experience.”

Looking for warm, Italian comfort food?

Make the trip to the small town of Bloomfield south west of Bloomington, to the Pepperoni Grill, where you can devour fabulous Italian food. Owner Mark Turner says, “I’m the former owner of Il Gargano at 1300 E. 86th St. in Indianapolis and have relocated to Green County in Bloomfield, on the Court-

house Square. I’m continuing the tradition of fine food and have added to this with the addition of my guest suites called the Upper Room Inn.” From the Pepperoni Grill’s delectable Pesto Bruschetta, melt-in-your-mouth rolls, popular Sausage Lasagna, savory Pork Loin Pavarotti, heavenly Sirloin Modena to the pizza and sweets of the day, you won’t be disappointed with whatever you choose.

The Indiana Foodways Alliance is a statewide, non-profit, member-based organization, dedicated to the celebration, promotion and preservation of the authentic food culture of Indiana. Be sure to take some time to look over the Indiana Foodways Alliance’s website, www.IndianaFoodways.com, and discover your new favorite place. Check back frequently because new restaurants and culinary trails are constantly being added.

ecently named as one of the “Best Small Food Towns in America” by USA Today and Rand McNally, Bloomington may be the best “foodie” town in the Midwest. The quantity and variety of eateries there offer a smorgasbord of culinary delights. The diversity in cuisine is a perfect example of how influential the university has been on the overall community. And the majority of the restaurants are independent, which created a need for the Bloomington Independent Restaurant Association (BIRA) to form.

The downtown area has a high concentration of local establishments. In a one-block

stretch on Fourth Street (commonly known as restaurant row), you can find Thai, Italian, Tibetan, Indian and Ethiopian restaurants. Go for spice at Esan Thai, or, if you prefer more mild cuisine, stop by for traditional Irish fare at the Irish Lion. The American-style menus at Malibu Grill, Lennie’s and Upland

Brewing Company keep customers coming in, and Café Pizzaria, the award-winning Mother Bear’s or the college favorite, Pizza X, cover your pizza cravings.

For early risers, breakfast at Village Deli—where you can try Paxton’s potatoes—is a must. The Bloomington Bagel Company serves breakfast items that feature chewy New York-style bagels.

There’s also a fantastic slowfood and locally sourced movement that’s creating some delicious menus in Bloomington. Finch’s is serving up pizzas, pastas and other traditional American favorites with gourmet flair. FARMbloomington also has some traditional dishes, but the chef there throws in exotic twists— order the farm fries, seasoned with parmesan, chili flakes and a turmeric aioli.

Restaurant Tallent, touted by some as the best restaurant in the state, has an ever-changing menu to allow for the use of fresh seasonal ingredients.

nslaved black Americans used the Underground Railroad to obtain freedom during the 30 years prior to the Civil War (1861-1865). The “railroad” used many routes from states in the South, which supported slavery, to “free” states in the North and Canada.

Some abolitionists, in opposition to slavery, would organize national routes to help slaves. More often, the underground network was built by individuals who simply wanted to help fugitives find their ways to freedom.

A lot of activity on the Underground Railroad happened in states that bordered the Ohio River, which divided slave states from free states. Among the free states: Indiana.

Not all of Indiana’s residents were in favor of freeing slaves, however. Some who lived across the river from Kentucky, a slave state, would capture slaves and return them to the South.

Along the way, they had to dodge organized networks of slave hunters who kidnapped slaves and returned them for ransom money .

Levi Coffin, President of the Underground Railroad

The best-known Underground Railroad “station master” in Indiana was Levi Coffin of Newport (now called Fountain City).

Coffin, who came to Indiana in 1826, is also known as the “President of the Underground Railroad.” He claimed he and his wife housed about 2,000 people over the course of 20 years, laying out bedrolls on their kitchen floor to accommodate as many people as they could.

In his reminiscences, Coffin recounts the story of two slave girls who fled Tennessee and found shelter with their grandparents in Randolph County, Indiana. “There the girls stayed, after their long perilous journey of enjoying their newly gained liberty, and hoping their master would never learn of their whereabouts. But they were not destined to

main routes of the Underground Railroad in Indiana. All three paths eventually led to Michigan, then to Canada. (Canada abolished slavery in 1833.) The routes in Indiana went from Posey to South Bend; from Corydon to Porter; and from Madison to DeKalb County, with many stops in between.

In a 1915 history of Decatur County, Indiana, Lewis Harding describes the county as a place where three routes came together after crossing the Ohio River in different places. From the junction, he writes, “prominent farmers...helped the fugitive slaves in every means possible.” One farmer was convicted by a local court for helping slaves, but the Supreme Court overturned that ruling. “The sympathies of most of the citizens of the country were with the fugitive slave and his helper,” Harding writes.

Historians now believe the path to freedom looked more like a spider’s web than three distinct routes. Escaped slaves had to navigate unfamiliar terrain, going east or doubling back south before continuing north.

dwell in safety. Their master had come to Richmond, ostensibly to look about the neighborhood and buy cattle, but really to gain some trace of his slave property.”

The master and a band of men from Richmond and Winchester were roused.

In response, an alarm was sounded, which brought together most of the settlement’s black residents. In all, over 200 people quickly surrounded and protected the grandparents’ cabin.

As the slave owner was being held at bay by the grandmother’s corn knife, an uncle of the two girls rode up on his horse. Levi writes, “He demanded to see the writ, and it was handed to him by the officer. He read it over carefully and tried to pick flaws in it.

He denied that it gave them any authority to enter the house and search for property.” At the doorway, the uncle carried out the debate with the slave owner as long as he could.

Inside the house, an escape plan was being planned for the two girls. Coffin writes, “The girls were dressed in boys’ clothes and smuggled through the crowd...to where two horses awaited them. They were soon mounted and on their way. The slave hunters were permitted to enter the house. They were completely baffled because the girls were not to be found.”

The girls made it safely to Coffin’s house.

“We kept the girls for several weeks then sent them on to Canada and safety,” he writes.

Harris’ daring escape was retold in Harriet Beecher Stowe’s abolitionist novel “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” The character who crosses the icy Ohio is also named Eliza. Eliza’s story and

“Uncle Tom’s Cabin” went on to become one of the most influential novels in history, causing many Americans to sympathize with enslaved people and abolitionists.

After escaping, Harris and her baby went to Levi Coffin’s Fountain City home to recuperate. From there, Harris went to a station run by the Bond family in Randolph County.

The Bonds had a room in their house specially built to hide fugitives. It had a false floor secured by pegs. One of these pegs could be removed to pour milk into a container underneath the floor to feed hiding slaves. From the Bonds’ station, Harris and her baby continued to move north.

In 1854, Levi and Catherine Coffin and their daughter were on a visit to Canada when a woman came up to Catherine. The woman seized Catherine’s hand and exclaimed, “How are you, Aunt Katie? God bless you!”

It was Eliza Harris, who had relocated safely to Chatham, Ontario, Canada.

Cool Country

Spend some time in James Dean’s hometown

F

traveliN Winter 2013

airmount’s reputation as the coolest destination in the Midwest was established in 1955 when native James Dean became an instant film sensation.

Dean’s legendary performance in the Warner Brothers production, “Rebel Without a Cause,” captured the imagination of an entire generation and defined cool for all time.

The famed James Dean Festival and Classic Car Show held annually on the last weekend in September draws tens of thousands to Dean’s hometown, but there is plenty to see and do all year.

The James Dean Birthday Celebration in February gives fans a chance to view Dean’s movies and hear stories of the actor’s boyhood in Indiana. The Annual Fans’ Banquet and Film Festival in July is another opportunity to learn more about the life and times of Dean.

Visitors to Fairmount are invited to take

30

a self-guided tour of local landmark’s in Dean’s life. Downloadable maps are available at the visitors’ bureau website, showmegrantcounty.com. Stroll along Main Street and shop for vintage merchandise in the same buildings Dean frequented as a youngster. Vinyl records are on sale at the Hi-Fi Shop and specialty coffee is offered at Cool Beans. The James Dean Gallery, which features memorabilia and gifts, is open daily all year. A private collection of Dean family artifacts is on display in the Fairmount Historical Museum April through November.

James Dean made only three films in his short life, but the mark he made on a generation—on a global culture—is his true legacy. Visit Dean’s hometown of Fairmount to see where a shy, young boy grew into a legend.

Lincoln Lore and Legends New exhibition lands at Indiana State Museum

E

ven a century and a half after his death, President Abraham Lincoln remains one of the most enigmatic and compelling figures in American history.

A new exhibit opening at the Indiana State Museum in February traces the lineage of Lincoln’s family through several generations, providing insights into the influences they heralded, challenges they encountered and triumphs they celebrated as kin.

“The Lincolns: Five Generations of American Family” begins with the lives of Abraham Lincoln’s parents, Nancy Hanks and Thomas Lincoln, detailing their struggles to survive in early 19th-century Kentucky, and continues up to the death of Lincoln’s last direct descendent. The exhibition tells tales of the family’s

history through artifacts assembled within the Lincoln Financial Foundation Collection, supplemented with loaned items from several other leading historical institutions.

Items of note among the 150-object exhibition include the largest grouping of collected pages from the “Lincoln Sum Book” Abraham Lincoln created while home-schooling himself; an original land grant dated March 4,

Mary Todd Lincoln’s cordial set/ Lincoln Financial Foundation Collection

1780 to President Lincoln’s grandfather, Captain Abraham Lincoln; and an 1835 German Meissen porcelain figure from an extensive collection that belonged to Mary Todd.

Also included in the intriguing artifacts on display — a complete circa-1850 desk set from the law office Abraham Lincoln shared with William Herndon in the state capital of Springfield, Ill.; and family photographs of Abraham Lincoln’s grandchildren and greatgrandchildren.

“The Lincolns: Five Generations of an American Family” opens Feb. 9 and runs through Aug. 4 at the Indiana State Museum, 650 W. Washington St. in the White River State Park, downtown Indianapolis.

works of art already in the collection that have not been on view. “The museum has long outgrown the space it inhabits, both in terms of the collection and in the programs it offers,” says Peter Blume, director.

A suite of galleries on the eastern end of the building will be devoted to Asian art, including works from India, China, and Japan.

Corresponding galleries on the western end will be devoted to ethnographic art, including Oceanic, African, Native American, and pre-

Columbian Mesoamerican and South American artwork.

The Music in the Museum series continues on Feb. 14 and March 14. A reception at 6:30 p.m. precedes both concerts. Concerts begin at 7:30 p.m. The concerts are free and open to the public. Seats are limited and early arrival is recommended.

World-renowned artist and 30-plus-year Zionsville resident Nancy Noel happened upon The Sanctuary when she was contemplating whether to open a gallery or scale back her work. She had looked at a few other locations, but nothing appealed to her.

“I decided not to worry about it and leave it to fate,� she said.

After seeing two notices of a church up for sale, she decided to take a look. Something in the dilapidated state of the historic building showed potential, and Noel decided to buy. A year of renovations later, including restoring the hardwood floors and stainedglass windows as well as removing the ceil-

ing to show the beam and duct work, she opened her gallery in 2006.

Noel’s body of spiritually inspired work, which features paintings of children and angels, flows into a series based on her travels to Africa. They adorn the walls of the bistro, making the gallery and restaurant one entity. Some of the works are as large as nine feet in size, giving them a looming presence in the café.

“We want people to feel like it’s their home. Everyone who walks through those doors is meaningful to us.”

The restaurant provides its own art in the form of sandwiches, salads—many vegetarian or vegan—soups and desserts, along with the popular Alexander’s Spinach Feta Quiche, a recipe straight from Noel’s cookbook “Joy in Simplicity.”

The menu offers food that is “as natural as we can get, as clean as we can get,” Noel

says. That means the beef is purchased from 100-percent grass-fed farms, and the lemonade is served sugar-free and is “absolutely fabulous,” Noel assures. “I’ve taken all the sweeteners off the tables except for Stevia, a natural sweetener, and sugar.”

The Sanctuary Café serves lunch Tuesday through Saturday and offers a full bar. “My dream is to have people come in and get a wine or champagne and walk around the gallery, and then go downstairs to the gift shop and take their drink with them,” Noel says.

“We want people to feel like it’s their home.

Everyone who walks through those doors is meaningful to us.”

The Sanctuary Café can seat 50 in the bistro, but can welcome up to 150 for weddings and special events. In the summer, a few tables adorn The Sanctuary porch for an al fresco experience. Regardless of where guests dine, the emphasis is on the overall quality of the experience. “I’ve always been interested in good food,” Noel says. “I know good food. I’ve traveled the world. It was always my desire to bring what I know to the table.”

return of a

Dynasty

By Lynn Houser

In the state of Indiana, all is well when the Indiana Hoosiers are back among college basketball’s elite. With all respect to Purdue, Notre Dame, Butler and the other Division I colleges around the state, no other school generates as much love, hate or water cooler conversation as Indiana University.

So when the program endured three straight losing seasons under Tom Crean from 2009-11, it felt like a cosmic hole in the Hoosier universe. Crean inherited a program that was reduced to scrap metal in the forced departure of previous coach Kelvin Sampson, whose improprieties resulted in heavy penalties and the exit of every scholarship player once Crean cleaned house.

Finally, in year four of the rebuilding project, the Hoosiers returned to the college basketball radar by winning 27 games and making the Sweet 16. And now, with the nucleus of that squad back along with a highly celebrated class of incoming freshmen, the Hoosiers entered the 2012-13 season ranked No. 1 on just about every pre-season list. The last time Indiana held that distinction was 1992-93, when Calbert Cheaney led the Hoosiers to the top of the polls.

It is a subject dear to Hoosier hearts, and who better to analyze this resurgence than a man who has had the best seat in the house for 40 years of IU basketball. That would be the longtime play-by-play man on the IU radio network, Don Fischer.

Glory days Fischer narrows down Indiana’s resurgence to two memorable days.

The single biggest factor in the quantum leap occurred on Nov. 11, 2010. That was the day Cody Zeller signed a letter of intent to play for the Hoosiers. After two older brothers, Luke (Notre Dame) and Tyler (North Carolina), chose other schools, Indiana could not afford to let another talented in-state prospect get away. Cody Zeller’s commitment affected the IU program on several levels.

“It immediately changed people’s perspectives on whether Indiana would ever be prominent again,” Fischer said. “If a guy like Zeller, a top three or top four prospect in the country, wants to go to IU, then it opens the door for a lot of other kids. It said, ‘Indiana is on its way back.’”

The moment Zeller hit the court, the Hoosiers were a changed basketball team. He was a hybrid seven-footer, strong enough to muscle his way around the post, yet mobile enough to run the floor like a guard.

He immediately made everyone around him better. The most noticeably improved were wing men Victor Oladipo and Will Sheehey.

“In the summer between their freshman and sophomore years, they worked so hard

to improve their games,” Fischer said. “They came back their sophomore year and were unbelievably improved. They brought an energy and a gym rat mentality that was infectious.

Their improvement, along with the arrival of Cody Zeller, made a huge impact.”

The ultimate gym rat on the team is guard Jordy Hulls, who after laboring through two losing collegiate seasons following a state championship run in his senior year at Bloomington South, had an insatiable appetite for winning.

“The year before, when Hulls and those guys were sophomores, they thought they were on their way back but just couldn’t get over the hump,” Fischer said. “They lost so many close games. They were going through a period of trying to find ways to win, but it wasn’t happening. The turnaround didn’t happen, and it was a big disappointment.”

The shot heard ’round the world All that changed on the night of Dec. 12, 2011.

In one flick of the wrist, Indiana announced with an exclamation point that it was truly back.

Trailing No. 1 Kentucky by two points with time running out, junior forward Christian Watford let fly with a 3-pointer from the left wing. The horn sounded while the ball was in flight and 18,000 fans Don Fischer, left, celebrating his 40th season were holding their collecas the voice of the Indiana Hoosiers tive breath.

Courtside roundup Bankers Life Fieldhouse

F

our major venues within an hour’s drive of Indianapolis offer college basketball for fans. Indiana University to the southwest (Bloomington), Purdue University to the northwest (West Lafayette), Ball State University to the northeast (Muncie) and Butler University, less than 10 minutes from downtown Indianapolis, all have big competitions lined up for the coming year.

And if pro ball is more your style, head out to see an Indiana Pacers competition in downtown Indy. You shouldn’t have much trouble getting tickets to most Pacers, Butler and Ball State games, but IU and Purdue tickets can be scarce during the Big Ten season.

Here is where you need to start in your hunt for tickets.

INDIANA UNIVERSITY: Ranked No. 1 in pre-season in just about every poll, a ticket to an IU game is going to be hard to come by once the Big Ten season hits full swing. Even though Assembly Hall holds almost 18,000 fans, games routinely sell out. You can occasionally get a single ticket through the IU ticket office, located right in the west lobby of Assembly Hall. Call (866) 487-7678 to inquire or check out the website: iuhoosiers.com.

PURDUE UNIVERSITY: With the 201213 Boilermakers expected to be another competitive bunch, the good seats are hard to come by during Big Ten season. However, unless it’s rival Indiana or another Top 25 Big Ten team, you can usually get inside Mackey Arena, which at 14,264 seating capacity really has no bad seats. Check first by calling (800) 497-7678.

If you are a basketball fan in Indiana, you are never far from some high-caliber ball

BALL STATE UNIVERSITY: This might be your easiest ticket and also your best bargain. The Cardinals play in the always tough Mid-American Conference and in a very comfortable facility, Worthen Arena. With just 11,500 seats, Worthen keeps fans close to the action, regardless of their seats. Tickets range from $5 for youth to as low as $9 for adults. Call (765) 285-1474.

BUTLER UNIVERSITY: After consecutive trips to the Final Four in 2010-11, the Bulldogs are must-see entertainment. And their home, Hinkle Fieldhouse, makes it a special atmosphere. Built in 1928, Hinkle not only has been a home to Butler, but also to Indiana high school basketball championships for six decades, including the epic 1954 final between Milan and Muncie Central, which was the inspiration for the beloved basketball movie, “Hoosiers.” If you hurry, you might get a ticket to the best game on the slate in the new year, a Jan. 19 date with Gonzaga. Tickets range from $17-$35. Call (317) 940-3647.

INDIANA PACERS: The Pacers play in Banker’s Life Fieldhouse (formerly Conseco Fieldhouse), which was opened in 2000. Unless the Pacers are up against the Lakers, Heat or Bulls, tickets are usually easy to get.

You can find them at Ticketmaster (800-7453000), or through the Banker’s Life box office, located on the north end of the building (317 917-2727). You can also go online to www.nab.com/pacers.

Banker’s Life Fieldhouse is located a few blocks east of the circle between Penn and Delaware Streets.

Where the syrup flows first Tim Burton and his wife, Angie, harvest and celebrate Indiana’s oldest agricultural crop

traveliN Winter 2013

By Sherri dugger

I

f you hear Tim Burton tell it, tapping trees to make maple syrup goes back in his wife’s family history almost 200 years. But it was coincidence that he and his wife, Angie, got into the syrup trade.

Now the owners of Burton’s Maplewood Farm, Tim and Angie once operated a systems integration business called CCI. It was around February of 2003 that one of their

technicians repeatedly asked to leave work early, Tim says, until—finally—one day Tim asked why. “’I’m helping to collect maple sap,’” Tim says his technician reported. “He told me I should go with him.”

And so Tim joined a group collecting sap one afternoon, and, as he was watching it boil, “I got it,” he says. “I got the whole excitement.”

It was the lost social aspect of the sap collection process “that intrigued me the most,” he explains. “It was once common for friends and neighbors and families to come together to share in the bounty. They would all collectively get their maple syrup or sugar for the year.” Tim wanted to bring more of that communal spirit into his own life.

Around the same time, “things were changing within the business world,” Tim says. “We started feeling the effects of the down economy.” So Tim and Angie decided to reinvent themselves.

They already owned 28 acres in Medora, and the couple decided to make their land work for them. They built a sugar house in 2006 and, for the first year, simply collected the sap from their trees, selling it to a local maple syrup producer. In 2007, they began making their own syrup.

Thanks to Indiana’s climate and geographic location, maple syrup season begins in southern Indiana earlier than anywhere else in the world—as soon as the third or fourth week in January, Tim says. The perfect temperatures for “the sugar season,” as it’s also called, are below freezing at night and above freezing by day.

Attaching taps to the 700-plus trees on their farm, the Burtons utilize the same methods Angie’s ancestors once used. The taps go about an inch and a half into each tree, in the cambium layer, between the bark and the hardwood. The Burtons collect their syrup with hood-covered buckets—an antiquated method considering the modern methods that now exist. The buckets are attached to the tap to allow the tree to deposit sap into them one drop at a time. Each bucket collects approximately 10 gallons of sap each season.

As they pursued their new venture, Tim and Angie kept their systems integration business going until they were comfortable that the syrup business was a viable trade. Eventually, in 2010, they closed the doors to CCI for good.

By then, they had begun selling their products at farmers markets, traveling as far as Chicago to spread the word about their syrup. “Angie and I were driving up to Chicago

twice a week for about two months; it’s a five-hour trip each way,” Tim says. “We’d leave at 2:30 in the morning. It would last from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Then we’d pack up and go home. It was grueling.”

For more about Burton’s Maplewood Farm, go to www.burtonsmaplewoodfarm.com.

The pair soon found a Chicago local to manage their booth each week, but the trips they had already made were soon to pay off. Tim had met renowned chefs in the city at the markets, and those meetings eventually led to the creation of custom-made syrups for several Chicago upscale restaurants. The foray into the customized syrup business has since led to his bourbon-, brandy- and rum-infused maple syrup specialties, products that are gaining attention all over the Midwest.

By then, the pair had also begun hosting the only National Maple Syrup Festival

in the United States, a two-weekend affair that takes place at their Medora farm every March. (See story on page 54 for more on the festival.)

And if you ask Tim, Indiana is the perfect place to hold such an event. “Indiana is where the sap flows first,” he says, “where maple syrup flows first in the world.”

The National Maple Syrup Festival Maple syrup is the oldest agricultural crop in Indiana, and family histories date back hundreds of years to ancestors inserting taps to retrieve the sweet, sticky offerings of the beloved sugar maple tree. Fitting, then, that the National Maple Syrup Festival, now in its fifth year, is held each March in Medora.

The two-weekend event, hosted by Burton’s Maplewood Farm, got its start when Tim and Angie Burton decided they wanted their farm’s offerings to help benefit the Heads Up Foundation, which benefits children born with craniofacial anomalies. Tim, born with a cleft lift, has a niece, Katelyn Turner, who was born with a cleft lip and palate. Her parents, Kenny and Kelly Turner, started the foundation.

Tim and his wife approached Kelly and Kenny with the idea to create a syrup festival “to raise revenue for the foundation,” Tim says. Eventually, they decided all net proceeds from the event would benefit Riley Hospi-

tal for Children’s “Camp About Face,” a week-long camp for kids born with craniofacial anomalies and hosted at Bradford Woods in Martinsville.

That idea has morphed into the only event of its kind in the country, and it offers guests a wealth of entertainment and syrupsweetened treats to eat during the first and second weekends of March each year.

Guests can park at the local high school, Tim says, where the Heads Up Foundation has rented space to entertain. At the school, guests will get a chance to meet local artisans, hear live bluegrass music and meet the holder of the Guinness Book of World Records for the highest pancake flipping in the world: John Young from a company called “Chris Cakes,” Tim says. “It’s really entertaining. He’ll flip pancakes to you from 20 feet.”

a baking competition, using maple syrup, of course—will take place at the school, and guests of the festival can taste the competitors’ creations. A shuttle bus ($8 for adults; $6 for kids and seniors; the rest of the festival is free) takes guests from the school to the Burtons’ farm.

There’s more history to be learned on the farm, where re-enactments take place throughout the festival to show guests how maple syrup is extracted from trees and how maple sugar is made.

Guests will have plenty to eat: From maple pork chops, maple baked beans, red potatoes, rolls and drinks … to, of course, pancakes drenched in maple syrup.

For more about Burton’s Maplewood Farm or the National Maple Syrup Festival, go to www.burtonsmaplewoodfarm.com.

ONE OF A KIND

Artisans showcase locally made art and food From mosaics and marshmallows to watercolors and wines, Indiana Artisans feature one-of-a-kind handmade work by more than 200 artisans at two Indiana events.

Celebrating its 10th year, Handmade Indiana will be held at the Indiana State Museum on Feb. 15 and 16. This juried show is a great place to see art by more than 70 Indiana artists and to find the perfect piece for your jewelry box, mantel, or wall. The 2013 Indiana Artisan Marketplace takes place April 6-7 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds Expo Hall. At the Marketplace event, more than 125 artisans from Indiana and an additional 75 artisans from Kentucky, selected as being among the best by food and art jury panels created by Indiana Artisan and Kentucky Crafted, will showcase their goods.

Indiana Artisans include painters, woodworkers, winemakers, jewelry designers, weavers, makers of specialty cheeses and more.

“An Indiana Artisan is a Hoosier recognized for careful attention to detail, knowledge of a craft and an entrepreneurial spirit,” says Eric Freeman, executive director of Indiana Artisan. “His or her talent contributes to Indiana’s reputation for quality work.”

farm facts

Syrup

1

The sugar maple has the highest sugar content in the sap.

2

Maple syrup is made in late winter or early spring when the nights are still freezing but daytime temperatures reach 40 degrees or so.

3 4 5 6

Tapping the trees catches some of the sap as it rises to the tops of the trees.

Trees are not harmed by tapping. Tap holes heal over in a year or two.

It takes about 45 gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup.

Indiana earns approximately $190,000 each year from its maple syrup crop.

“Our Food, Our Farmers” Essay Contest Indiana farms—both big and small—have a proud tradition of nourishing generations.

That is why we are encouraging students to learn more about Indiana farmers’ roles in providing nourishment for our families, our animals and our soil.

Peace talk His holiness the Dalai Lama to speak at Louisville’s Yum Center.

L

ouisville’s Tibetan Buddhist Center, the Drepung Gomang Institute, and the city of Louisville will host His Holiness the Dalai Lama May 19-21. The three-day event, called “Engaging Compassion,” will begin on Sunday, May 19 at the Yum Center, when the Dalai Lama will present a public talk to an expected crowd of 16,000. The Dalai Lama is the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize and the Congressional Medal of Honor and is known around the world as a spokesman for the non-violent, peaceful and compassionate resolution of human conflict.

The Dalai Lama’s talk will focus on how individuals can engage with compassion from within their own religious tradition in order to build world peace from the local level to the world community. The two-hour presentation will include a strong interfaith component followed by interaction with local interfaith religious dignitaries and other leaders.

On Monday, May 20, the Dalai Lama will give a two-part public Buddhist teaching in the morning and afternoon. On Tuesday, May 21, His Holiness will address middle, high school, and college-age students at the Kentucky Center. In addition to His Holiness’

speaking engagements, organizers are planning the three-day event to include a rich program of music, arts, cultural performances, dialogue and discussions that will touch the entire community of Louisville and raise awareness around the topic of compassion and kindness.

Mayor Greg Fischer, who on Nov. 11, 2011, signed the Compassionate City’s Charter, a 10-year process to designate Louisville as a Compassionate City, said the Dalai Lama’s visit will be a shining moment for the city. “I find that people want to talk about compassion, about helping others and unleashing the human potential,” Fischer said. “The Dalia Lama is such an iconic figure for good and compassion that his visit will be inspiring locally and further evidence globally of what Louisville and its people are capable of.”

For more information go to www.dalailamalouisville.org or visit the DGI Tibetan Buddhist Center at 411 N. Hubbards Lane, Louisville, KY 40207. —contributed by Lisa Morrison, Morrison Marketing and Media, Director of Media and Public Relations for the Dalai Lama Tour

any of Indiana’s most distinctive businesses are more than happy to roll out the welcome mat for visitors who are interested in seeing how they do what they do. Check out these educational and intriguing Indiana tour opportunities: The Indiana wine industry first took root in the early 1800s near the banks of the Ohio River in Switzerland County, but it’s Bloomington-based Oliver Winery that’s really put Hoosier wines on the map. Celebrating 40 years of winemaking in 2012, the state’s longest continually operating winery is nestled into a scenic grapevine-lined location on State Road 37, and just opened a new tasting room on Bloomington’s downtown square in November. The winery offers free 30-minute tours on Fridays and Saturdays between noon and 4:30 p.m., and on Sundays from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Plan to arrive early or stick around afterward to spend some time in the tasting room, where you can sample the wares, shop for wine-themed gifts and equipment, and stock up on gourmet picnic supplies. To learn more, call (812) 876-5800 or visit www.oliverwinery.com.

Entrepreneur Renee Gabet has discovered the sweet smell of success in lit tle Ligonier. After traveling the world to conduct research about natural essences, Gabet decided she wanted to start producing topquality perfumes right here in the Midwest and founded Annie Oakley Perfumery and Studio in 1980. Today, visitors can see how her products take shape during 45-minute walking tours of the northern Indiana operation, an informative experience that takes guests first to the bench lab to learn how fragrances are created and then into the factory to see the perfumes being bottled and prepped for distribution. Public tours are offered year-round on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., and reservations are not required. Tour admission is $5 per adult; visitors also receive a $5 certificate they can apply toward any same-day gift shop purchase of $10 or more. For additional information, call (260) 894-7219 or go to www.annieoakley.com.

Monastery Immaculate Conception

The rolling hills of tiny Ferdinand make a breathtaking backdrop for the beautiful red brick campus of the Monastery Immaculate Conception. Nicknamed “the castle in the clouds” and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the monastery’s origins date back to 1867 when four Sisters of St. Benedict settled in the area to teach within the predominantly German community. The family of nuns has grown through the years, and now the monastery houses one of the largest groups of Benedictine sisters in the country. Visitors can stroll through the lovely main buildings and learn more about the monastery’s history through free guided tours offered Tuesday through Sunday at various times (the public is also welcome to attend Mass).

While you’re there, take a spin through the thoughtfully merchandised For Heaven’s Sake gift shop and pick up a package of German-style springerle or almerle cookies made in the on-site Simply Divine Bakery.

inter can be a tough time to find outdoor recreation in Indiana.

Sure, there’s ice fishing and cold-weather hiking. A few hard-core enthusiasts may even spend a couple of frigid nights camping. But these activities aren’t thrilling to most. A few exciting outdoor options do exist in Indiana, however.

Pokagon State Park, located in the northeast corner of the state near Angola, features cross country skiing and an incredible toboggan run. Visiting Pokagon during the winter has become an annual tradition for many Hoosier families. With the beautiful Potawatomi Inn on site, Pokagon is the perfect place to spend a weekend relaxing and reconnecting with nature during a time of year when most are just dreaming of spring.

The park’s refrigerated toboggan run has become somewhat of a legend amongst Indiana outdoor enthusiasts. It’s the sort of iconic location that transcends generations. Grandparents tell grandchildren about how they rode the toboggan run many years ago. Crosscountry skiing is another highlight of winter at Pokagon. And you don’t have to own skis to participate. There is a rental office onsite.

OPENING IN SPRING!

There’s no such thing as “bad weather”– only bad clothing!

traveliN Winter 2013

Pokagon State Park is a destination that should be on every Hoosier’s visit list. Aside from the toboggan run and cross country skiing, visitors can ride gentle slopes on their own sleds and tubes, enjoy ice skating and ice fishing on Lake James, and walk miles of trails through tranquil woods in the heart of winter.

Downhill skiing is another exciting winter activity available in Indiana. If fact, there are two downhill ski resorts in southern Indiana: Perfect North and Paoli Peaks. It may be difficult for people from the flat, northern half of Indiana to understand how the southern half of the state has areas adequate for downhill skiing, but the fact is, it does.

Paoli Peaks is located in the quaint little town of Paoli, which is about a half hour south of Bloomington. Perfect North is in Lawrenceburg, just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati. Both of these ski resorts offer beginners a great opportunity to learn how to ski or snowboard in a comfortable environment with beginner hill options and gently sloping longer runs. There are also terrain parks and steeper, more challenging hills for advanced down hillers.

Turning a trip to either of the ski resorts into a destination experience is easy to do. Paoli is just down the road from French Lick, where the casino and other attractions draw visitors to town year round. Perfect North lends itself to all the excitePokagon State Park ment of the big city, with Cincinnati just a stone’s throw away.

The Limberlost State Historic Site Visitor Center is set to open Spring 2013. The new facility will house educational programming and provide additional resources for the community.

Inside, visitors will find classroom space, a multi-purpose area, gift shop, bird viewing area and offices. Visit Indianamuseum.org/limberlost for more information.

Health and wellness

Hit the road

Vacations offer mental and physical health benefits

By Amy Lynch

traveliN Winter 2013

A

ll work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, not to mention the potential headaches, insomnia, anxiety and other stress-related health problems it could bring.

“Too much stress can lead to depression, which has physical as well as mental symptoms,” says Kimble Richardson, physician and referral liaison at St. Vincent Stress Center. “Some of these symptoms include sleep disturbance, unintended weight gain or loss, problems concentrating, uncontrollable crying, feeling hopeless and helpless and sometimes suicidal thoughts. In addition, depression can weaken the body’s immune system and make us more susceptible to illness, colds, body aches and pains.”

For many people, a great deal of stress

can often be traced to back to the workplace.

Many Americans often believe that when it comes to logging hours at the office, more is better. So much so that some people actually feel guilty about taking time off. Not surprisingly, a 2010 Expedia survey estimated that America is one of the most vacation-deprived countries in the world, with employees receiving fewer days off on average than many other countries (especially those in Europe). The survey also found that the average American earns 18 vacation days annually, but leaves two or more vacation days unused each year.

Not only can time away from work help counterbalance the negative effects of stress, it provides a valuable opportunity to recon-

nect with family and friends. “Besides shortening your life because of the lack of self-care and an unhealthy lifestyle, a person’s relationships suffer,” explains Dr. Patrick Murphy, a psychologist with Community Health Network. “Overworking limits people from the opportunity to be emotionally connected to the people who matter in their lives.”

Just taking time off isn’t enough. Experts say it’s how you use that time off that counts, and many people find it often pays to plan a trip and temporarily get away from it all. “A change of scenery can be very helpful,” Richardson says. “If a person is too goal-oriented and has a difficult time relaxing, being away from work and home distractions can be beneficial.”

“Travel allows people to expand their view of the world and to learn to appreciate different cultures,” Murphy adds. “We get into our own comfort zones; travel helps us to appreciate our history and culture, because we learn how other people have worked together to solve the common issues of living.”

To make the most of time away, type-A personalities are well advised to switch off as much as possible. That means avoiding— or at the very least, limiting exposure to— voicemail, email and social media sites.

Richardson also suggests switching up your usual modus operandi to reap the benefits of experiencing something new. “If you tend to be a very social person, do something solitary and enjoy just being by yourself,” he says. “On the other hand, if you tend to be more of a loner, find activities that are social in nature.”

With so many fun and affordable travel options within Indiana, it’s easier to get away now than ever before. So whether your idea of the perfect vacation is an international adventure or a weekend at a local B&B, pledge this year to leave no unused vacation days behind.

Take a Trip:

The Benefits are Everywhere • Travelers rate their overall health one full point higher (on a scale of 1 to 5) while on vacation. They also get three times more deep sleep after their vacation and sleep almost 20 minutes longer after their vacation.

• Even the anticipation of vacation travel

generates an increase in positive feelings about one’s life as a whole, family, economic situation, and health.

• An annual vacation can cut a person’s risk of heart attack by 50 percent.

• Women who take more vacations are more satisfied with their marriages.

Provided by U.S. Travel Industry referenced from study by ustravel.org

• More than half of employed Americans say they come back feeling reconnected with their family after vacation (53%).

• Three out of four executives believe that vacations are necessary for them to prevent burnout (78%) or that vacations improve their personal job performance (75%).

• Travelers experience a 25%

increase in performance on vigilance tests after returning from vacation—travelers 45 or older show a 50% increase in performance.

• Two out of three executives believe that vacations improve their creativity (68%).

Head east for history The eastern portion of the state offers museums, memories and more

D

ozens of historical stops await you in the East Region of Indiana. From five automobile museums to circus history and the rich heritage of Indiana basketball, Indiana offers a variety of interesting places to visit.

In northeast Indiana, the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum, a National Historic Landmark, has welcomed nearly 2 million visitors from all 50 states and from more than 40 countries since the museum opened its doors in1974. It inhabits the former Auburn Automobile Company’s national headquarters building, a place where history was made over 75 years ago. Here, you can also visit the National Automotive and Truck Museum of the United States (NATMUS),

located in the former factory buildings of the Auburn Automobile Company.

Get Swiss at the Swiss Heritage Village & Museum in Berne. The Village is now the largest outdoor museum in northern Indiana.

As you visit the site and read about the buildings, grounds, and events that are sponsored by the Swiss Heritage Society, you will learn about how the Swiss settlers lived in this area more than a century ago.

Tour the Miami County Museum in Peru and you’ll find a collection size that consists of more than 150,000 historical objects and archival materials. Because Miami County has such an interesting and varied history, the museum covers subjects such as circus, railroad, pioneer and Native American history. Cole Porter was born in Peru; thus the museum has a special area dedicated to him.

It includes his Cadillac, a Grammy award and many other interesting photos and Cole Porter artifacts.

There are more than 8,000 pieces of glassware at The Glass Museum in Dunkirk from 110 factories around the world currently on exhibit. You’ll see glass that was made locally

at Indiana Glass in Dunkirk and other area factories, including leaded lamps, leaded windows and an exhibit of cup plates.

What began as a traveling military display now has a place for exhibits on a permanent basis in Portland. The Museum of the Soldier got its start with three original founders, local military historians James Waechter, Brian Williamson and Michael McBride. They began culling their efforts in the early 1980s and started providing displays for local schools and events. For 15 years, this group has provided traveling displays with a goal of preserving and presenting histories of the men and women, the families and workers back home, during times of war and peace.

The state of Indiana and basketball are a perfect fit. From Hoosiers like Wooden, Robertson, Plump, Bird and Bailey to the thousands of toddlers who pick up their first basketballs at young ages, basketball is a sport that’s at the very core of life in Indiana. The rich tradition of Indiana basketball is proudly celebrated at the Hall of Fame Museum in New Castle.

Indoor fun See what Hendricks County has to offer this winter.

T

he travel season in Hendricks County doesn’t slow down during the winter months. There are still plenty of activities to entertain all ages. Indoor attractions, a year-round Cultural Trail and tons of other must-see happenings as well as wonderful restaurants, affordable accommodations and proximity to the Indianapolis International Airport make this western suburb of Indianapolis ideal to visit.

The Rural Routes to Main Street Cultural Trail has become a staple in Hendricks County since it opened to the public more than three years ago, allowing visitors to escape the

hustle and bustle to experience a little culture.

This self-paced, self-directed driving tour leads you through the back roads as you explore hidden gems, including shops and studios featuring local master artisans, quaint eateries and distinctive boutiques.

There really is no better time to see the Cultural Trail than at the start of 2013 as it expands into neighboring Morgan County where a new collection of must-see experiences awaits. With so much to see and do, the trail—open Thursdays through Saturdays year-round— has truly become a weekend destination escape.

In addition to the full-time locations on the Cultural Trail, on the Second Saturday of each month, a select group of Second Saturday sites — locations that traditionally aren’t available to the public — open their doors. For more information about the cultural trail, go online to RuralRoutesToMainStreet.com.

If arts and culture just aren’t your thing, you need not

worry, as Hendricks County has something for every taste. Perfect winter activities for families include bouncing fun at JR Funnigans Jump N Play in Avon; roller skating just down the road at Rock N Rollers; glow-in-the-dark miniature golf at Monster Mini Golf or soaring to new heights at The Crag Indoor Rock Climbing Gym in Brownsburg.

Need something a little less strenuous? How about taking in a Hendricks Symphonic Society concert or enjoying a movie at a historic theater. Watching a movie at The Royal in Danville is like walking into a fully functional time capsule as the 100-year-old theater shows family-friendly movies weekly.

Two nature parks and the Plainfield Recreation Center, which includes a mini indoor waterpark, also make Hendricks County a destination to come, stay and play — even during the winter. For more information about things to do in Hendricks County, be sure to visit TourHendricksCounty.com.

There’s Art. Theater. Breathtaking Southern Indiana views. And, of course, there’s basketball. Bloomington was recently ranked No. 7 in a list of top 10 college towns by Livability.com, and it earns its stripes for good reason. Beyond being home to Indiana University, the little Hoosier town offers big fun—both indoors and out.

Head to Bloomington for basketball, theater, music, art and higher education, yes, but don’t leave before you’ve checked out some of the more than 40 pubs, breweries and bars in town and hit at least one of the three area lakes where you can fish, canoe and water ski. The nearby Hoosier National Forest also offers a good time, with its 202,000 acres of protected land where visitors can hike, bike or just hang around.

hen all the holiday cheer is packed away with the twinkle lights, things are still glowing in Bloomington. Take in any number of events all season long, starting with Cardinal Stage Company’s presentation of “The Wizard of Oz.” The city’s only professional theater company, Cardinal produces high-quality theater for the whole family, and this show is no exception, with flying monkeys and witches to thrill the audience. It all takes place the first week of January at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater.

performed in 1777, this tale about our culture’s obsession with gossip and scandal is as relevant today as it was back then.

Drama of a different sort happens this winter with the IU basketball teams taking the court at Assembly Hall several times. The highly ranked men’s team will be taking on several Big Ten opponents, but if you can’t find tickets to those games, don’t fret. The newly charged women’s team will also be dishing out some intense play. New head coach Curt Miller is rebuilding the program, and he’s off to a great start.

Miller House and Garden Modernist National Historic Landmark open for public tours

L

ocated in Columbus and one of the country’s most highly regarded examples of mid-century Modernist residences, Miller House was designed by Eero Saarinen, with interiors by Alexander Girard, and landscape design by Dan Kiley.

Members of the Miller family donated the house and gardens, along with many of its original furnishings, to the Indianapolis Museum of Art [IMA] in 2009. Additionally, members of the Miller family and the Irwin-Sweeney-Miller Foundation have donated $5 million to establish an endowment for the house and surrounding grounds. Visitors can purchase tickets online.

Miller House and Garden is owned and cared for by the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Tours at Miller House and Garden are made possible

Columbus Visitors Bureau 506 5th St, Columbus, IN 47201 (812) 378-2622 | columbus.in.us

December-February

through the Columbus Area Visitors Center.

Commissioned by industrialist and philanthropist J. Irwin Miller and his wife, Xenia Simons Miller, in 1952, Miller House and Garden was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2000. The house expands upon an architectural tradition developed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe—epitomizing the international Modernist aesthetic—with an open and flowing layout, flat roof and vast stone and glass walls. The rooms, configured beneath a grid pattern of skylights supported by cruciform steel columns, are filled with strong colors and playful patterns. Amid the residence’s large geometric gardens, its grandest feature is an allée of honey locust trees that runs along the west side of the house. The Miller House was the first designated National Historic Landmark listed with a still-living landscape architect that also was still occupied by its original owners at the date of its designation.

“Miller House showcases the work of leading 20th-century architects and designers and we believe that it’s important to preserve this internationally known jewel in the Columbus, Indiana, community,” said Maxwell L. Anderson, the Melvin & Bren Simon former director and CEO of the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Columbus is ranked sixth in the nation by the American Institute of Architects for architectural innovation and design. National Geographic

Fees: Adult $20, Students $10, Children 4 and under FREE

Traveler ranked Columbus as America’s most significant historic place on the strength of its architectural heritage. As a way to attract outstanding architectural talent to design public facilities in the central Indiana community of Columbus, Miller created the Architecture Design Program within The Cummins Foundation. Miller met Eero Saarinen during the construction of First Christian Church in Columbus, which was designed by Saarinen’s father, Eliel. Eero Saarinen helped Miller with the Architecture Design Program and recruit rising young architectural talent to participate in the 1950s. In addition to the Cummins Foundation’s Architecture Design Program, which funded excellent design for public facilities, Cummins, other businesses and many churches in Columbus adopted the same strategy of using good design to create a more economically vibrant and livable city. Today there are more than 70 buildings by noted modern architects—such as I. M. Pei, Cesar Pelli, Robert Venturi, Richard Meier, John Carl Warnecke and Harry Weese—in the city, as well as public art works by internationally renowned architects and artists.
