Indiana Avenue Indiana Avenue is a powerful version of the American dream through an African-American lens. The avenue is the historic African-American commercial, entertainment and worship center.

Today’s landscape is filled with enduring landmarks, a burgeoning university campus, contemporary residences and a lush waterway.

Indiana Avenue is rhythm reborn. The rich heritage comes to life on stage, in public art, museums, art galleries, nightlife and in the church.

Just north of this district lies the Stutz business center where art and culture abound and is home to over 80 artists, sculptors, photographers, designers, architects and craftsmen.

Mass Avenue Laid out in 1821 as one of four diagonal streets that led straight to the heart of Downtown [the other three were Indiana, Virginia and Kentucky], Massachusetts Avenue mainly serviced the immediate area. When streetcars and interurbans came to town, businesses edged out residences along the strip and made Mass Ave a veritable hotbed of commerce between 1870 and 1930.

Today it is 45 degrees from ordinary. Mass Ave is the place that puts a whole new angle on excitement — the Arts & Theater District.

Showcasing public art, top-notch galleries and live theatre, Mass Ave’s free-spirited mood spills out from the interesting restaurants, eclectic shops and night spots. discovermassave.com

The Canal & White River State Park Discovery runs through Indy’s cultural corridor.

Woven along the breathtaking canal and park are the city’s most inspiring museums, attractions and celebrations. Discover Indiana’s heritage and history as you venture throughout and enjoy the stunning backdrop of the downtown skyline.

Wholesale District Welcome to the main event. Here you’ll find the biggest names and the brightest attractions the community has to offer. Whether it’s world-class shopping, professional sports or concerts and theatre, it’s here in the midst of the finest hotels and signature dining where entertainment is front and center.

“From north to south, east to west, Indiana has a lot to offer not only to its own people but to those who visit our state, That is why we are tapping Mark, who is a proven strategist recognized for his ability to increase revenue and engage customers.”

— Lt. Governor Becky Skillman

Welcome»

Mark Newman Each year, the Hoosier state welcomes more than 62 million people to its tourist attractions and events. Tourism in Indiana generates more than $10 billion a year in visitor spending. And that’s no small change for our state. The Indiana Office of Tourism Development (IOTD) has a big job on its hands, therefore, to help promote travel throughout the state and to enhance each visitor experience when they’re here.

That’s why the appointment of Mark Newman as the interim executive director of the IOTD comes as no surprise. Newman’s new position was announced in August of 2012, and he arrived to the job with years of experience and accomplishments behind him.

For the previous six years, Newman had served as the vice president of marketing and communications for the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra.

He also was the chief operating officer for the Indiana Sports Corporation and served on the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games.

“From north to south, east to west, Indiana has a lot to offer not only to its own people but to those who visit our state,” Lt. Governor Becky Skillman said in a news release on the appointment. “That is why we are tapping Mark, who is a proven strategist recognized for his ability to increase revenue and engage customers.”

Leading the state’s efforts to promote Indiana as a tourism destination, Newman has an important job ahead of him, but it’s one we’re sure he can tackle. With that, we offer him well wishes in his new position. Welcome to the world of Indiana tourism, Mark. It’s a beautiful place.

Exit 76 Antique Mall is a great place to browse and shop for those unusual and hard-tofind items or unique gifts.

It features 600 booths and lighted cases, full of everything from antiques and collectibles to modern artisan creations.

PERFORMANCES This fall, Ivy Tech students will take to the stage, once again, in the Ivy Tech student production, The Rimers of Eldritch, by Lanford Wilson. Ivy Tech Waldron’s first student production, Waiting for Lefty, was a good example of Ivy Tech’s approach to theatre.

“The architecture of the performance space was modified only slightly, and the seating arrangement allowed the audience to find themselves caught up in and a part of the production,” said Paul Daily, Ivy Tech Waldron artistic director. Ivy Tech productions embrace the very nature of live theatre—a medium where you can do what is impossible in other mediums.

A white sheet can become a ghost, a splashing of water in a tub can become a vast swamp, and suddenly the entire room is somewhere else entirely, once the imagination is caught.

“This type of theatre is particularly demanding for actors,” said Daily.

“It forces them to rely on the only two tools they bring into the space with them — their bodies and their voices. Our students quickly learn that the most effective technique is the one that works when there’s nothing else on stage.”

The Ivy Tech student production, The Rimers of Eldritch, directed by Paul Daily, will take place Nov. 9 and 10, and Nov. 14 through 17.

For a full list of performances at the Ivy TechWaldron, visit www.ivytech.edu/waldron.

Tickets are now on sale at the Buskirk Chumley Box Office, http://www.bctboxoffice.com/.

GALLERIES Recently voted Bloomington’s “Best Gallery” by The Herald-Times Readers Choice Awards after a mere two years on the scene, the Ivy Tech Waldron houses multiple shows that change monthly.

OCT. 5-27 Contemporary fabric artist Sandy Hill splashes the walls with jewel-toned swirls and flourishes.

Tom Rhea taps into collective memories with a painterly tour of Bloomington’s best-loved landmarks. Sculptor James Alexander Thom hand-carves fallen trees to reveal their spirits as sinuous, self-referencing and graceful. Ellen Starr Lyon paints arrangements of household objects mixed with Asian accents.

NOV. 2-DEC. 1 William Fillmore sculpts figures that are extraordinarily life-like but served with a twist—you will be amazed, amused and possibly even frightened. Every clay surface that Barry Barnes touches erupts in a profusion of color, texture, and pattern. Carol Myers offers a sheaf of “Pencil Prayers,” graphite drawings lightly layered with encaustic.

DEC. 7-DEC. 28 Dig below the surface as photographer Mia Beach stages miniature vignettes against actual dirt. Feel the pulsating heart of an Asian super-city in animations by international students Catherine Chi and Hyejin Kang. Plein air specialists Wyatt LeGrand and Roy Boswell share the results of an epic journey: seven days, 100 paintings. Sherry Redman meditates on the bone structure of trees in multimedia abstractions.

FIRST FRIDAYS If you’re in town on the First Friday of the month, stop by the Ivy Tech Waldron from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. for artist receptions. Refreshments are served, and artists are on hand to meet the public. Exhibits change 12 times a year, so you’ll experience something new every First Friday.

Galleries are open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and during theatre performances. Closed most major holidays. Call (812) 330-4400 for more info or visit www.ivytech.edu/waldron.

Gearheads and technophiles will want to book time in their schedules for a guided spin through the vast Toyota Motor Manufacturing Center in Princeton, 30 miles north of Evansville on U.S. 41. After a short introduction at the visitors center (take a gander at the disassembled Tundra pickup hanging from the ceiling), visitors board a tram to check out one of two body weld shops, where hundreds of robots are hard at work spot-welding steel parts amid showers of sparks. From there, the ride stops at the customer satisfaction line where doors, hoods and other body parts are installed, and, finally, the assembly shops where cars receive their engines, axles, instrument panels and seats. The 45-minute tours are free and reservations are a good idea; trams only hold 32 people per tour and seats tend to fill up quickly.

When you picture the harvest season, you’re likely to imagine a farm—perhaps a pumpkin patch dotted with orange or a sprawling orchard of fruit-laden trees.

On these farms, you’ll find seasonal icons like jack-o’-lanterns and hayrides, and you might even discover a rare apple variety or an animal you’ve yet to see. Some orchards offer more than 60 varieties of apples and nearly a dozen types of pumpkins, squashes and gourds. Also look for treats

In the fall, some of our favorite activities are right in our own backyards: leaping into piles of leaves, sipping a cup of hot apple cider or gathering around a crackling bonfire with friends.

Visit a dairy farm during the holidays for a moovelous twist on the typical harvest festival where you can combine a visit to the pumpkin patch with tours of working dairy farms.

Tree Time Add to your home’s Christmas cheer with a freshly scented tree.

By choosing an Indiana grown Christmas tree, you are supporting the local economy and the environment. As a Christmas tree-producing state, Indiana ranks 11th in the nation with 200 tree farms producing almost 200,000 harvestable trees per year, according to an agricultural census in 2007. It can take up to seven years to grow an average-size Christmas tree, and for every tree harvest, three new seedlings are planted each year at most tree farms. During their life cycles, trees support life by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing fresh oxygen. And once the holiday season has passed, each tree can be recycled.

Choose a Scotch pine, white pine, canaan fir, fraser fir and more—grown right here in the Hoosier state. You’ll also find options for you-cut trees, pre-cut trees and choose-and-they-cut trees at most tree farms. If you’re lucky, the tree farm you visit will also offer winter fun for the family, with retail shops, hot chocolate for sale and sleigh and wagon rides available.

Fall for Art Autumn in Bloomington is one of the best times to explore the Indiana University campus and its many landmarks including the IU Art Museum, a bold architectural design by the renowned architectural firm I.M. Pei and Partners.

Situated at the heart of campus, the IU Art Museum houses a permanent collection that ranges from ancient gold jewelry, Asian scrolls, and African masks, to paintings by Claude Monet and Pablo Picasso.

Special exhibitions are presented twice each year.

The IU Art Museum invites visitors to “fall for art” this season with a trip to the museum, where admission is always free.

Three special exhibitions featuring contemporary landscape paintings, German Expressionist artworks, and richly decorated Chinese baby carriers will be on view Oct. 6 - Dec. 23, 2012.

Barry Gealt: Embracing Nature, which includes 35 vibrant oil paintings representing nearly three decades of work. Gealt retired from IU’s Hope School of Fine Arts in 2007, after a teaching career that spanned almost 40 years; he continues to paint and exhibit his work both in the U.S. and abroad.

Pioneers and Exiles: German Expressionism at the IU Art Museum comprises

48 works from the museum’s collection, one of the finest such holdings to be found on any university campus in the country. This groundbreaking show looks at how these treasures came to Bloomington. Major artists represented in the exhibition include Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Otto Dix, and Franz Marc.

In the Judi and Milt Stewart Hexagon Gallery, Threads of Love: Baby Carriers from China’s Minority Nationalities features a selection of embroidered textiles, primarily baby carriers. These colorful textiles are decorated with auspicious symbols connoting good fortune, happy marriage, and longevity.

David Owsley Museum of Art European and American Art to be highlighted during gallery expansion

traveliN Holiday 2012

The Fine Arts Building on the campus of Ball State University is undergoing renovations to expand the David Owsley Museum of Art. The museum’s galleries, which currently occupy 17,179 square feet, will increase to 27,000. Renovations will be complete in May, 2013. “The museum has long outgrown the space it inhabits,

26

both in terms of the collection and in the programs it offers,” says Peter Blume, director.

The expansion will offer more space for new works of art entering the collection, as well as to install and interpret many works of art already in the collection not currently on view. This will allow visitors a fresh perspective on the entire collection.

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 South American artwork. The museum, which is free and

open to the public, will remain open during the entire renovation and will feature its European and American collections. The museum is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. » for more info

In Search of Culture Head to Bloomington for handcrafted gifts, culture and a little zen

By Lisa Morrison

Fall in Indiana launches a season when we travel to Brown County to view the spectacular foliage and peruse the many quaint shops in the village of Nashville. Or, we head to downtown Indianapolis to forage at the Circle Center Mall and enjoy the city’s many holiday activities. This season, why not include a new cultural destination among your holiday shopping ventures? The Happy Yak gift shop at the Tibetan Mongolian Buddhist Cultural Center (TMBCC) in Bloomington provides visitors a cultural experience, as well as the opportunity to peruse and pur-

chase handcrafted wares and colorful and interesting gifts.

Tucked away on the 108-acre, picturesque grounds of the TMBCC, The Happy Yak transports you to another land, less than two miles from Bloomington’s College Mall.

Eric Phagan’s art comes easily. The Indianapolis Herron School of Art and Design graduate and Madison-based artist has won awards and garnered attention for his 3-D sculptures and landscape paintings for years. Eric’s interest in art dates all the way back to his kindergarten years, he says, when he completed a drawing of Bugs Bunny to the delight of his teachers and classmates.

But managing a family business, which includes an art gallery, a café and overnight guest suites, has been a little less than easy. Which isn’t to say Eric, along with his parents, Jeff and Peggy Phagan, his sister, Sarah, and his wife, Jessica, has made mistakes along the way. In fact, they’ve made plenty of good decisions, like buying and remodeling the downtown Madison building, home to the former Dusty Miller Antiques store, in October 2011 and putting every square foot of it to good use.

In April the Phagan family opened Gallery 115, which houses the Gallery Café, Eric Phagan Art Studio/Gallery, plus overnight guest suites and a conference room, all available for rent. But

39

being a business owner and marketing himself as an artist, as well as remaining a dedicated husband to Jessica and father to his toddler son, Vinson, has amounted to months of long days, long nights and a large learning curve for the 33-year-old. A learning curve that’s definitely been worth the wait.

For years, Eric says fans of his work regularly asked him where his studio was located, when—in fact—the artist was working out of his one-car garage at home. “There was no space,” he said. “It wasn’t very professional.”

Eric’s art sales were taking off about the same time the building at 115 E. Main St., which was constructed in 1840, came up for sale. He says his mom had often expressed an interest in one day opening her own restaurant, and when he heard the building went on the market, an idea quickly formed. “Having a gallery and a café meant you were hitting all angles,” Eric said. “People could come and see my work and hang out. It’s a gathering place. That’s what Madison needed.”

And what Madison needed, Madison received.

Thanks to the artist’s vision and six “long months” of combined efforts of his family, the building now

features an early-20th-century ambience. “I love the 1920s through the ’40s,” he said.

Because of that, the building has a strictly antique feel, with vintage-inspired colors and lighting and Big Band music playing in the background. “I feel like that’s a really romantic, sweet time in our history.”

It’s a sweet time in the history of the Phagan family, too. The building’s transformation has brought them all into the fold of a common goal. Eric’s father maintains the building’s upkeep. His mother runs the café. Eric’s wife handles the bookkeeping, while Eric stays involved with every aspect of the business.

“There have been a lot of positives for opening this business with my family,” Eric said. “It has brought us closer, and, of course, we are all getting to do something that we love.

“Of course there are days that are slow and times that something we do does not work, but that is when we collaborate and figure out what we can change to make it better. A business is what you make of it. We are going to just go for it and, if it doesn’t work out, then we know we did our best.” Gallery 115, 115 E. Main St., Madison, (812) 2744371, www.gallery115madison.com

Raising Cane What started as a misunderstanding between John and Pam Badger turned out to be a sweet deal for the town of Martinsville. The couple purchased the Martinsville Candy Kitchen in 2004, saving it from closure when the store’s former owners were ready to retire. But the Badgers admit they went into the purchase mistakenly thinking each was doing it because the other wanted it. “She wanted it; she got it,” John still says of the purchase.

“No, I didn’t,” Pam quickly and teasingly corrects him. “It’s way more work than I ever wanted.”

Nonetheless, the couple spent a slow summer month in 2004 learning the tricks of the trade from the shop’s previous owners and then introduced themselves as Martinsville’s newest candy makers by July of that same year.

Both John and Pam have day jobs (he delivers fuel for Martinsville’s Co-Alliance; she works in the county clerk’s office), but they spend their evenings and weekends keeping alive the traditions (and original recipes) that Greek immigrant Jimmy Zapapas began when he first opened the

TRADERSPOINT CREAMERY in flavors like peppermint, wintergreen, cinnamon, cappuccino, lemon and cherry, that remains busy all year.

In 2007, the Badgers bought and renovated the former Bertelsen’s Jewelry Store in Martinsville’s courthouse square and moved the Candy Kitchen there, just a few doors down from its original location.

The move gave them more space. Now, near the back of the store, tables await customers who wish to be seated to enjoy their sweet treats, and an adjacent wall of windows showcases the back room, which allows curious visitors to see the candycane–making process, a task John usually tackles on Saturday mornings.

As for whether owning a candy store is a dream job, Pam isn’t quite sure. But John does have hopes of retiring into the business by working there full time one day.

“That’s the plan,” he says. “It’s going to be 10 years. I’ll be an old man before I can do that.” 46 N. Main St., Martinsville, (765) 342-6390

shop in 1919. The purchase has become a family affair. During the week, John’s mom and sister, as well as the couple’s son, John, and their nephews, along with other family members and friends, help to run the store.

Making 17 flavors of candy canes, they use the same tools (a copper pot, a marble slab and a metal hook) that Zapapas originally used. Each year, the Badgers make approximately 30,000 candy canes.

(In 2011, they estimate they made upward of 35,000.) The majority of their business falls during the fall and winter holidays, with seasonal orders coming in as early as July. During the busy season, “we can’t make canes fast enough,” John says.

“People get angry if we run out.”

Guests are serious about getting their sugar fixes … and with good reason. The shop, blanketed out front with an appropriately striped red-and-white awning, offers glass-enclosed rows of goodness … in the form of truffles, mints, cookies and flavored fudges.

Barry Gealt: Embracing Nature

“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.”

Albert Einstein

Landscape Paintings, 1988–2012 Indiana University Art Museum Oct. 6–Dec. 23, 2012

Indiana Vista, 2001, Oil on canvas, 36” x 36”, Collection of Ann and Rusty Harrison

40 years; he continues to paint and exhibit his work both in the U.S. and abroad.

Living in a beautiful rural setting in southwestern Indiana, Gealt did, indeed, “look deep into nature,” and, in painting his responses to what he saw, he found the ultimate expression of himself as an artist. This self-realization also illuminates his paintings of the sea, which have absorbed him during

Curator, Barry Gealt: Embracing Nature lbaden@indiana.edu

traveliN Holiday 2012

Indiana University Art Museum will present a retrospective exhibition of the paintings of Barry Gealt this fall. Focused on the artist’s embrace of landscape painting beginning in the 1980s, the exhibition also includes several important examples of his earlier figurative studies. Barry Gealt retired from IU’s Hope School of Fine Arts in 2007, after a teaching career that spanned almost

the last decade or so. As Gealt explained in a recent interview, “my paintings border on being abstract, but abstraction in a way that means clarity—not like nonobjective paintings, but having the essence of something.”

The exhibition comprises 35 oil paintings dating from 1988 to 2012. Lenders to the exhibition include private collectors in the U.S. and abroad, with many of the paintings in the show being exhibited for the first time in Bloomington.

Accompanying the exhibition is a fully illustrated color catalogue, published by IU Press, with an essay by Rachel Berenson Perry, emeritus chief curator and curator of fine arts at the Indiana State Museum. Perry traces Gealt’s art-making life from his sculpture lessons as a 10-year-old boy in Philadelphia, through his graduate studies at Yale, to his arrival at Indiana University in the late 1960s. In addition to his work as an artist, Barry Gealt is much admired as a demanding, insightful, and dedicated teacher and mentor to his students in the painting program at IU. Perry explores how he thrived on his interactions with his students, which helped to fuel his own creativity.

In addition to Rachel Perry’s essay, the publication includes an insightful introduction by Adelheid M. Gealt, director of the IU Art Museum and the artist’s wife of over 40 years; and forewords by Kathleen A. Foster, the Robert L. McNeil Jr. senior curator of American art and director of the Center for American Art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and IU President Michael McRobbie.

The catalogue section illustrates in color all the works that are included in the exhibition as well as several others.

A full array of special programs is planned around the exhibition, including an opening reception and a lecture by distinguished professor emeritus Michael Metzer of the IU Kelley School of Business; a gallery talk and book signing with Rachel Perry; and a gallery conversation with the artist.

It is fine oils and wines, handmade soaps and hand-turned bowls. It is Lake Michigan artists and Ohio River Valley craftsmen, popcorn growers near the Old National Road and chocolatiers of perfection. Indiana Artisan is the state's best craftspeople—from specialty cheese makers to specialty jewelry makers and from the hands of careful beekeepers to those of caring weavers. Indiana's heritage in glass, musical instruments, stoneware, woodwork, candies, brandies and more is defined through Indiana Artisan.

News from the Gridiron

By John Oreovicz

2012 proves to be an exciting year for Indiana football.

Indiana is about to learn whether Indianapolis Colts fans were really just Peyton Manning fans. Manning wasn’t just the heart and soul of the Colts. In many ways he was—and still is—the face of the NFL. In Indianapolis, he was revered; his impact on the community spread well beyond the football field, and news of his release was greeted with shock and dismay by loyal Manning fans.

There are certain to be Manning devotees in Indiana who will change allegiance to his new team. But there is good news for Colts fans: With the No. 1 pick in the 2012 draft, Indianapolis drafted a franchise quarterback who appears to have charisma, smarts and skills reminiscent of the man he is replacing.

Sports

Like Manning, Andrew Luck is the son of an NFL quarterback (Oliver Luck, now athletic director at West Virginia University). Andrew Luck played college football at Stanford; he won the prestigious Maxwell and Walter Camp Awards in his senior year and was also the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy in 2010 and 2011.

Luck isn’t the only unfamiliar face Colts fans will see. Short of owner Jim Irsay, wide receiver Reggie Wayne and defensive stalwarts Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis, the entire team has received a makeover, led by new general manager Ryan Grigson.

Even the legendary pass rushing tandem of Mathis and Freeney will have new tricks to learn; new head coach Chuck Pagano and defensive coordinator Greg Manusky are switching the defense from a 4-3 to a 3-4 scheme that will force the sack specialists to drop into pass coverage.

“This is very new and uncharted territory for me,” said Mathis, a nine-year veteran

The Oaken Bucket Trophy

from Syracuse. “But I’m learning it, getting it and enjoying it in the process.”

Mathis described the Colts new defensive look as “physical, fast and exciting … most of all exciting. But we’re still going to get after the quarterback.”

The Hoosier state is also a hotbed for college football. Indiana University’s loss

is Notre Dame’s gain, as highly acclaimed quarterback recruit Gunner Kiel rescinded his commitment to IU and transferred to ND. IU and Purdue were predicted to be midpack runners in the Big Ten, but the conference’s expansion and split into two divisions and penalties being served by perennial football powers Ohio State and Penn State could help the Hoosiers and the Boilermakers move to the upper echelon.

Bolstered by a contract extension and coming off his team’s first bowl appearance since 2007, Purdue head coach Danny Hope is looking for an improved defense and more consistent performance from an offense that returns many key starters.

Indiana’s football team already has more victories early in the season than it did all last year. Second-year coach Kevin Wilson is confident that the team will have a stronger year and be able to overcome the loss of starting quarterback Tre Roberson with a broken leg.

The Pacers were pleased to sign AllStar center Roy Hibbert and local swingman George Hill to long-term contracts, and young stars Danny Granger, Paul George and Tyler Hansbrough have been joined by point guard D.J. Augistin, a key free agent acquisition.

Basketball in Indiana is not reserved exclusively for men.

Rev Up your taste buds NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is a man’s man.

He drives cars at speeds over 200 mph for a living. Takes no guff off his competition. Hunts and fishes for fun. And knows a thing or two about food. Now Stewart’s fans can enjoy some of their driver’s favorite foods as they watch him chase the checkered flag each Sunday.

by Brandon Butler

Tony Stewart’s Original™ is a line of food products based out of Indianapolis that Stewart has endorsed. The line includes Tony Stewart’s Original™ Salsa, Tony Stewart’s Original™ BBQ Sauce, and Tony Stewart’s Original™ Beef Jerky. Each recipe has been tested and approved

by Stewart himself.

If you’re planning to tailgate or have a party for the race, then chips and salsa are a must. Tony Stewart’s Original™ Salsa is made from a delicious blend of spices and seasonings.

It’s available in both hot and mild, and comes in 16-ounce jars.

Salsa isn’t only for chips, though. You can apply Tony Stewart’s Original™ Salsa to rev up any dish. It’s great on everything from tacos to omelets. If you’re a salsa fan, then you’ll want to try Tony’s. Just like the man himself, it’s a winner.

Barbecue fans are about as diverse as NASCAR fans. Depending on what part of the country they are from, they have an entrenched notion as to how barbecue is to be prepared and taste. One thing just about everyone can agree on though is that a tangy, smoky barbecue sauce is hard to beat.

Tony Stewart’s Original™ BBQ Sauce is a perfect blend of slightly sweet with a little kick. So as you’re standing around the grill, mopping some sauce on a slab of ribs and someone asks what sauce are you using, just tell them your ribs are winners. Just like the man on the bottle.

Stewart’s barbecue sauce comes in 18-ounce bottles.

Stewart personally selected the beef jerky that bears his name. Tony Stewart’s Original™ Beef Jerky is made from lean cuts of beef. It is seasoned to perfection and then slow smoked over mesquite wood.

Beef jerky is a snack the whole family can enjoy and feel good about. It tastes great, it is high in protein, low in fat and has few calories. It’s perfect for when you’re sitting in the stands or on the couch cheering Stewart to victory lane.

As a native Hoosier, it is no surprise Tony Stewart is so popular among Indiana race fans. With the availability of Tony Stewart’s Original™ line of food products, he’s likely to become just as popular among backyard chefs and tailgaters across the country.

Brown County State Park’s mountain bike trails have been crowned as “among the best in North America” by Bike Magazine. In its article last year “33 Best Rides in North America,” the international magazine says the Brown County State Park trail system “is quickly becoming a favorite destination for

Midwest riders.” The trails also were honored as runner-up in the Best Trail Network category by the magazine. Kingdom Trails in East Burke, Vt., won the category, and Park City, Utah, joined Brown County State Park in receiving a runner-up award. According to the article, “nominations came in from the four corners of the continent, and the 11 trails we selected—along with two runnersup per category—offer some of the best mountain biking on the planet.”

And there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the trails. The biggest fundraising event of the year for the Hoosier Mountain Bike Association arrives each year with the turning of the leaves. The Brown County Breakdown is now in its eighth year,

and each event sees hundreds hopping on their bikes for a ride along beautiful trails in the world-renowned hardwood forests of Southern Indiana.

A full weekend’s worth of fun, with free bicycle and product demonstrations, live music, a complimentary beer tasting, a hog roast and more, accompanies the rides. “It’s a great family event,” says Tania Juillerat, event director. “We get people of all ages who come out.”

The weekend offers a family ride, she says, on a trail that anyone can tackle, and every ride is a “celebration of mountain biking in Indiana,” she says. “It’s not a race. It’s a great ride in the woods.”

County, the Hilly Hundred covers miles of beautiful Southern Indiana through adjacent counties. Hosted by the Central Indiana Bicycling Association, the Hilly brings more than 5,000 bicyclists to the area for a weekend of riding, music and entertainment. This year, the 45th annual event also boasts an annual costume contest and a variety show of entertainment, beyond the miles of road.

Though it might seem like the Hilly is all about bikes, Skip Howard, managing director, assures us it’s not. “The rest stops, the entertainment, it’s more of a people event than a bicycle event,” he says. “We invite people to bring their friends and to make new ones while they’re here. We emphasize the people.”

Ride begins and ends at beautiful Brown County State Park. Choose routes of 25, 45, 65, 80 and 100 miles. Weekend also includes exclusive on-site camping, live bluegrass music, a huge hog roast, plus free bike and product demos from large and small manufacturers.

Admission: $80-$125 adults; $50 child.

Unique Weddings and Events

Something Old, Something New (to You) Local antique malls and thrift stores are capturing significant bridal business

By Lisa Morrison

traveliN Holiday 2012

Heirloom jewelry, such as pins, adorn bridal bouquets, and formal wear, like satin shoes and handbags, are highly sought after for weddings these days. For a fall wedding, for instance, one Showers Inn bride in Bloomington selected all vintage mix-andmatch dresses in pastel green from a local antique store. Fort Wayne offers many venues for your vintage wedding such as Baker Street Station, Fort Wayne History Center,

74

Allen County Courthouse or the famous Embassy Theatre.

One off-the-beaten-path location for terrific vintage finds is Salvage Sisters Antique Market in Franklin. Located near the downtown square, at 398 E. Jefferson St., Salvage Sisters offers more than 2,000 square feet of vintage goods.

Brides-to-be can peruse aisle after aisle of vintage jewelry, serving ware, textiles and,

yes, even a few booths that carry formal wear.

Another spot for vintage bridal shopping is the Hidden Closet in downtown Bloomington. Now in its new location on Kirkwood Avenue across from Farm Bloomington, the Hidden Closet primarily stocks clothing, including a great selection of formal vintage dresses. The shop also carries the artful work of a local designer who refurbishes old textiles into purses. And another appealing attraction to future brides is Hidden Closet’s style consultation service.

Other trends this fall focus on color palettes and décor. Natural elements, like feathers, pods and other forest plantings, are popular. South Central Indiana’s Artful Blooms creates bouquets enhanced with twigs and plumes not typically seen in bridal arrangements. This year, the season’s floral offerings include deep burnt orange, moss green and combinations of purple and blue mixed creatively with contrasting feathers and other natural materials.

In Search of Treasure Hit the Antiques Trail

Antique aficionados know that Indiana’s Famous Antique Alley offers no room for disappointment. With more than 900 antique dealers along 60 miles, the trail was recommended by the editors of Midwest Living Magazine in its August, 2009, issue.

Stop by the Old National Road Welcome Center to pick up an Antique Alley Trail map and wind your way along the Historic National Road (a National Scenic Byway) to visit the many shops in the area.

Start at Larry’s Antiques and Foster’s “E” Street Gallery before heading west to Centerville, where you’ll find Webb’s Antique Mall, which is considered Indiana’s largest antique venue and offers goods from more than 500 dealers. The next stop, Cambridge City, is considered the hub of Antique Alley with its 10 antique shops and malls within a two-block area. One shop is housed in an authentic 1830s log home that once stood along the National Road.

Before looping back to Richmond, make sure to stop by the National Trail Antique Mall in Dunreith, Glass Cupboard Antique Mall in Knightstown, Main Street Antiques Uniques in Hagerstown and Jamboree Antiques Mall in New Paris.

Exploring Indiana’s Famous Antique Alley is a great weekend getaway for couples seeking solitude from the daily grind. But the solitude doesn’t stop after the day of hitting the antique shops. Couples can enjoy an intimate evening of candlelight dining and take in a play at the Richmond Civic Theatre, a Richmond Symphony concert or a leisurely stroll through the rose gardens.

Then, retreat to a charming B&B, secluded cabin or a motel offering all the amenities. » for more info

Conveniently located off of I-69 in East Central Indiana, Muncie is well-known for its history of glass manufacturing. Five brothers from the Ball family brought their glass manufacturing plant, Ball Canning Jars, from New York in 1887. Ball Hospital, a major medical referral center, and Ball State University were also the result of the Ball brothers’ commitment to the the development of the city.

Ball State University began as a small, private teacher training school that opened in 1899.

The institution became a university in 1965 and now offers an array of educational and entertainment venues. BSU is home to the Wheeler Orchid Collection, the Glick Center for Glass, the Planetarium and a Museum of Art. The David Owsley Museum of Art at Ball State University, as well as Min-

netrista and Muncie historic downtown galleries, feature extensive collections of paintings, sculptures, artifacts and more.

After visiting the many unique galleries and shops, eateries and the children’s museum downtown, take a stroll along the White River Greenway.

This well-manicured paved pathway winds along the river and the outskirts of downtown traveling through parks to the Cardinal Greenway.

Home to the renovated historic 1901 Wysor Street Depot, the Cardinal Greenway is Indiana’s longest rail-trail, and it joins Delaware County to four other Indiana counties: Grant, Henry, Randolph and Wayne. The Prairie Creek Reservoir, on the southside of Muncie, is a recreational haven for bicycling, boating, hiking, camping, horseback riding and more.

Carmel Home sweet home

We already knew Carmel was an amazing place to call home, and now Money Magazine agrees. In its recent “Best Places to Live” issue, the CNN-owned magazine named Carmel the best small city in the nation. (Neighboring Fishers also made the list at No. 12.)

Money Magazine editors considered such quality-oflife factors as job growth, home affordability, safety, school quality and health care, but it was Carmel’s investment in projects like City Center and the Arts & Design District that pushed the city to the top of the list.

“The team from Money Magazine took into account the opinions expressed by the families they interviewed, who told them how much they enjoy living in Carmel,” said Mayor Jim Brainard in a statement.

Visit the Village Zionsville offers wide variety of activities for travelers

By Meghan McCormick Eddy

Despite a population boom and the emergence of big-box retailers on its outskirts, Zionsville’s downtown has held on to its village roots. A confluence of independent retailers, restaurants and art galleries lines the town’s Main Street, which also serves as a hub for community events, such as the annual Street Dance, Country Market and Farmers Market. That’s why we think it makes an excellent choice for a closeby weekend getaway or relaxing day trip.

an in-depth look at perhaps the area’s most widely known attraction — Traders Point Creamery. Whether you design your trip around the sights of Main Street, or make the creamery your only stop, consider Zionsville for your next one-tank getaway.

The Loft at Traders Point Creamery in Zionsville emerged in late 2009 as a small eatery, but it has grown into a full-service, full-scale restaurant serving certified organic meals. Overlooking a picturesque family-run dairy farm just minutes from I-465, where cows graze, sunlight ricochets off rustic barn roofs and rows of fresh herbs and vegetables sprout with each new season, the restaurant has become a bona fide dining destination … with a terrific view. Traders Point Creamery also offers guided farm tours, cheese tastings, a dairy bar, a summer and winter farmers market and guided nature hikes. 9101 Moore Road, Zionsville; www.traderspointcreamery.com The independent coffeehouse reigns supreme in Zionsville. Situated on the town’s brick Main Street, Eagle Creek Coffee Co. is the favored destination for a morning latte, slice of homemade quiche or enormous Belgian waffle. The shop is particularly bustling on Saturday mornings, even more so when the Zionsville Farmers Market is in operation just a few blocks south.

10 S. Main St., (317) 733-3771, 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sundays.

The Friendly Tavern, known for excellent burgers, its annual chili cookoff, its day-into-night St. Patrick’s Day party and as a hangout for parents after ZCHS sporting events. 290 S. Main St., (317) 873-5772, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays; 11 a.m to 11 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Closed Sundays.

As Zionsville grows, so does its selection of upscale dining options. The current go-to spot: Noah Grant’s Grill House and Raw Bar. Located just off Main Street, across from the minuscule but lovely Lincoln Park, the restaurant dishes up an excellent selection of sushi and seafood, but is also wellliked for its homestyle favorites. 65 S. First St., (317) 732-2233, www.noahgrants.com, 4 to10 p.m. Tuesdays through Thursdays, 4 to 11 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, 4 to 9 p.m. Sundays. Closed Mondays.

Whether you’re an aficionado or a wine amateur, it never hurts to get a little advice on a great Cab Sauv. In Zionsville, residents just ask The Wine Guy (aka Doug Pendleton), whose delightful Grapevine Cottage store houses more than 800 wines, all of which have been personally reviewed by Pendleton and chosen for their rating (85 or better) by top wine publications. Even better, the majority of wines at Grapevine Cottage are priced at less than $20. 61 S.

As the weather turns cooler and the leaves begin to change, consider a trip to Madison in southern Indiana. This is a great time to visit Clifty Falls State Park, right on the western edge of Madison’s historic downtown. Clifty is renowned for its spectacular scenery, deeply cut gorges, sheer rock walls and plunging waterfalls.

Tour some of Madison’s beautiful homes during the Tri Kappa Tour of Homes, Oct. 12-14 and make sure to stop on Main Street for some great Soup, Stew, Chili and Brew on Oct. 13. It’s a competitive event, so you can bet the food offered will be outstanding. The Indiana Wine Trail kicks off the fall and holiday season with its annual Fall Haul on Nov. 3 and 4. Enjoy the scenery as you tour and taste your way through six wineries.

Be sure to grab a Visit Madison holiday brochure to catch all of the town’s seasonal events, including the Downtown Open House, Light Up Madison and the Art Jam. In December, guests and locals will enjoy the annual Christmas Parade, a train ride, holiday music, movies, children’s programs and much more. Nights Before Christmas Candlelight Tour of Homes, held on Nov. 23, 24, 30 and Dec. 1, also helps to inspire and entertain. For 31 years, this tour of private homes and select public sites has become a Christmas tradition.

Considered the Art Colony of the Midwest, Brown County boasts more than 70 artists and working studios, and each year several artists swing wide their studio doors to locals and guests. Approximately 14 years ago, the Studio & Garden Tour began inviting area visitors to see the workspaces of local artists over the course of one weekend in June. Quickly, the tour became so popular,

The autumn addition (www.browncoun tystudiotour.com/falltour2012.htm) spans the entire month of October, with 11 studios staying open for a set number of hours each day. The T.C. Steele State Historic Home, located approximately 10 minutes from downtown Nashville, serves as the tour’s host site. There, guests can pick up a brochure and a tour map, detailing the hours and addresses of the studios featured. A wide range of media will be represented in the self-guided tour; this year’s guests can visit the workspaces of a local blacksmith, a jeweler, a weaver, a potter, several painters, a bookbinder and more.

The Nashville House A Brown County landmark renowned for its savory home cooking, antique collectibles, fine art, and more

A Historic Brown County landmark, The Nashville House is renowned for savory home cooking, antique collectibles and gadgets, fine art and old-fashioned hospitality.

The first hostelry in Brown County, built in 1859 during the Civil War, the original Nashville House was frequented by a variety of guests and visitors—from loggers, to artists, to travelers and local residents.

After fire tragically destroyed the original building in 1943, the Nashville House was lovingly rebuilt. Although the new structure

has no guest rooms, its famous food service and "Old Country Store" continue to draw scores of visitors and neighbors. An elevator also now provides ready access to the building dining room.

Serving Dinner and Lunch The dinner menu of the Nashville House features a variety of delicious entrees.

Country-fried hamsteak with red gravy, tangy barbecued backloin ribs, baked Hoosier ham, roast turkey, tender T-bone steak,

and the ever-popular crisp, country-fried chicken. Its famous hot fried biscuits and baked apple butter, vegetable, and coleslaw complete the meal. Sassafras tea is served either hot or cold.

For lunch, The Nashville House offers smoked sausage, chopped steak, a large salad, and luncheon of the day. Sandwich plates are a special feature with Hoosier smoked ham [plain or topped with aged cheddar cheese], tender roast turkey and chopped steak. Each is served with potato chips and of course our famous homemade applebutter and fried biscuits.

All sandwiches are made with oven-fresh bread, and desserts are also fresh from the bake shop ovens, with pecan pie and fresh fruit cobblers a specialty.

Daily 11:30 a.m. to closing.; closed Tuesdays, except in October. » for more info

The breathtaking view as you wind through backroads and hills of Brown County is a teaser for the surprise you find at this historic, 1837 brick and wooden farmhouse, rumored to have housed an underground railroad back in the day.

Envision centuries old homes of Tuscany blended with a little country cabin bed and breakfast nestled in a French garden … and you’ll recognize this magical dining gem. Add chinze covered tables between mosaic inlayed chairs in the coziest of rooms, on the viranda, or on the expanded porch. Surround the scene with winding paths dotted with vibrantly painted garden chairs that lead to the nursery, an endless display of flowers, abundant foliage as far as you can see, garden sculptures and twinkle lights—and you’ll know

Like most of southern Indiana, Bloomington is filled with color and natural beauty in October. It’s a wonderful time to take a hike through the Hoosier National Forest or canoe around Lake Monroe. If you feel ambitious, join in the annual Hilly Hundred on Oct. 19-21. This bike tour takes riders through the hills and valleys of Bloomington and the surrounding area, where they can enjoy the gorgeous scenery and camaraderie of fellow bicyclers.

south central region » Bloomington

Besides the festive leaves blanketing the rolling hills, there’s also a great deal of activity to be found around town. The Indiana University campus is buzzing with new and returning students. In the arts and cultural scene, the IU Theatre and Drama department presents a variety of shows, from Shakespeare’s classic “Richard III” in October to the evocative musical “Spring Awakening” in November. The Jacobs School of Music also will offer two operas in October and December, as well as the family favorite The Nutcracker in December. And if you haven’t seen the new IU Cinema, you are missing one of the loveliest venues on campus, where classic and art house films are shown weekly.

The energy that the students bring each fall spills into the rest of the community as well, especially in the downtown area.

Bloomington, Indiana, 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.

By Design A Q&A with Kelly Wilson

By Kelsey Declue

The IU Center for Art and Design in Columbus, officially opened its doors in October 2011, and with its opening came T. Kelly Wilson, associate professor and director of the center, who brings a vision that, if all goes as planned, will help further shape and quantify the already acclaimed design city. Here, a few words from Wilson.

Kelly Wilson

» take the tour

Architecture Tour

Is the center used by the public at all or just for student educational purposes?

The center has a strong community commitment alongside its academic mission. The center is a place where the various types of design and artistic practices would find the opportunity to collaborate, share and learn from each other, a place to cross-pollinate.

We also see the opportunity to bring divergent groups and entities from the greater Columbus area, including its business men and women, into collaboration with designers and artists at national and international levels.

Why was Columbus selected to house the center?

Columbus is home to over 60 examples of modern architecture and landscape design and a remarkable community that is innovative and original. Columbus is a living laboratory for the examination of design in its broadest definition, in the form of its city, in its buildings and landscape, and in the form of its community coalitions; the Columbus Arts Council, the Columbus Education Coalition, the Heritage Fund, the Cummins Foundation, the Mayor’s Arts District Vision Committee, the Innovation Center of the Columbus Regional Hospital and many other vital groups consistently work at building a city of excellence. It is hard to walk into this city, come into contact with the remarkable architecture and not ask ‘who are these people?’ Columbus is rich in reasons for study; this is a city with a heritage for innovation; it is a city of credible people doing credible things.

How does the Columbus community benefit from the center?

The center hopes to bring to Columbus many kinds of designers and artists that will interact with the community in a variety of ways, giving to Columbus area residents unusual access to what designers and artists do, how they think and what they are capable of making. Design is also a habit of mind, a way of thinking that is highly synthetic. We hope to show the value of design to our community by offering opportunities to acquire new insights, new practices and new integrative models of collaboration.

What is your role as director?

To prepare the mission of the center, develop the strategy that would put our mission into action and to find the necessary support to ensure our effectiveness as an institution. Additionally, I am also a professor. I teach design and drawing to IUB students, and I bring these students to Rome to experience and analyze the integration of art, design and the city.

What plans and goals do you have for the center and programming in the next 10 years?

We have three basic areas of programming: the development of collaborative-design teams with IUB and our educational and community partners, the creation of a designer-in-residence program in Columbus to intersect with the community and our students and the creation of a degree program for a ‘comprehensive design’ education in Columbus and in Bloomington.

We intend to develop our international relationships in design education by the creation of a ‘nomadic studio’ for our students. The ‘nomadic studio’ is visioned to travel to multiple cities around the globe in successive order to study how design is done, what its value has been and who those designers may be.

In 10 years, I see a crowd of students poreing over Columbus to discover how design is conducted here, intersecting with 15 fellows from the residency program who come from all points of the map, each of whom is making a project that combines art, design and the city.

What is something that the average Indiana resident should know about the center?

You don’t have to be an artist or a designer to become interested in the center or to collaborate with us in our community and international projects. All you need is interest and a healthy dose of curiosity.

traveliN Holiday 2012

What is the IU Center for Art and Design and what are the primary uses of the Columbus location?

The IUCA+D is an initiative of Indiana University in unique collaboration with the city of Columbus to develop and promote the comprehensive integration of art and design with the city. In our educational model this means how we teach others to work at the intersection of multiple forms of design practice. It also means to bring design and design thinking to the institutions and businesses within the city.
