In this Nov. 1, 1940 b/w file picture, a German dive bomber Ju 87 Stuka flies over an unknown location during World War II. German military museum is preparing to hoist the wreck of a Stuka dive bomber from the floor of the Baltic Sea, a rare remaining example of the plane that once wreaked havoc over Europe as part of the Nazis' war machine. The Stuka wreck, first discovered in the 90's when a fisherman's net snagged on it, lies about 10 kilometers off the coast of the Baltic island of Ruegen, in about 18 meters of water. German military divers have been working for a week to prepare the main body to be hoisted to the surface, and initial reports are that it is in good condition. The motor was brought up over the weekend. The German Military Historical Museum says it will be restored and put on display in Berlin.

Stukas Over Indianapolis Writer / Dan Wakefield

“The Stuka was the premiere dive-bomber of the Luftwaffe…and became one of the symbols of the Blitzkrieg.” – The Warbirds Resource Group

I

t began on the roof of the porch at the side of our house at 6129 Winthrop.

That’s the perch where I sat to scan the skies for enemy airplanes during World War II. I was a Cub Scout – and later Boy Scout – patriot during the war, collecting scrap paper, scrap metal and tinfoil, raising a Victory Garden in the backyard, buying War Stamps (later called Defense Stamps) in my dime stamp book, buying the 78 RPM records I played on the wind-up Victrola in the basement like "We’ll Heil, Heil, Right in Der Führer’s Face" and "Goodbye Mama, I’m Off to Yokahama" as my friends and I

marched to their tunes and memorized the words.

Besides all that, the most exciting and seemingly "grown-up" activity I engaged in was looking through my binoculars to see if I could spot the outline of a German Stuka, Messerschmidt or Japanese Zero whose outlines I had faithfully memorized from a manual for air raid wardens.

Why did I think the Germans and Japanese would fly right over such coastal cities as New York and Boston or San Francisco and Los Angeles to knock out Indianapolis?

It was clear as the nose on your face: if the dastardly enemies could knock out Indianapolis, the heart of the heart of the country, they would destroy the morale of America in one deadly blow and win the war.

I had no idea that an instrument regarded as the key weapon in the Allied Victory – the top secret Norden bombsight – was manufactured at The Naval Ordinance Plant in Indianapolis.

(like most Americans) I had never heard of until that moment.

According to an article in weeklyview.net ("The Indianapolis Top Secret That Helped Win WWII"), "Indianapolis was selected because it was centrally located, it was a railroad center and was far enough inland that it could not easily be bombed by enemy aircraft."

I’m glad that I didn’t learn this until about 70 years after I sat on my porch roof on Winthrop looking for Stukas – the deadly dive-bombers of the Nazis that terrorized civilians as well as Allied troops. It would have knocked the wind out of my patriotic pretensions. It might have even blown away my inspiration for the novel "Under the Apple Tree: A World War II Home Front Novel."

A common question asked of writers (in addition to Who’s Your agent?) is "Where do you get the idea for a novel?" The best and clearest answer I can give is the idea for "Under The Apple Tree."

I was living in Boston in 1983 when I walked out one morning onto Charles Street (the main drag of Beacon Hill, a neighborhood that was still affordable for non-billionaires back then), and a picture came to my mind.

It was the sight of a 10-year-old boy sitting on the roof of his house in the Midwest during WWII, looking through a pair of binoculars for the outlines of German and Japanese warplanes.

I heard the news over the radio while I was having a Cherry Coke in my father’s drugstore (Harbison’s, later Wakefield’s, Drugs) at the corner of 16th and Central.

When the announcement was over, I climbed on top of one of the iron-back chairs onto a table (where people sat and talked while they ate and drank, before the age of computers) and I sang "America." (I liked it better than "The Star-Spangled Banner," and it was a whole lot easier to sing.)

My cousin "Junior" (Clayton E. Ridge, Jr.) who lived next door in our double with my grandma Irene-y and was the closest thing I had to a brother (I was an only child) enlisted in the Air Force and became a tail gunner on a B-17. He had a girlfriend who went to Broad Ripple who my mother invited to dinner after Junior was sent overseas, hoping to keep up her morale, in the hopes that she would keep up Junior’s morale by writing him letters and not "sitting under the apple tree" with anyone else but Junior!

How that all worked out I never knew, but I could imagine. And imagine I did, making up the characters of Artie’s older brother "Roy" and his girlfriend Joanne ("Shirley").

I didn’t want "Roy" to be a tail gunner like Junior which would have revealed a lack of creativity on my part, but I made him a Marine like a boy who lived down the block, and I sent him to the South My God, I thought, if I could explain why a Pacific. I never knew or heard of a 4-F boy (who was not mentally deranged) would guy like poor "Foltz" in my novel, but it always be occupied in such a way, I’d have a novel! made me cringe when I heard the words to Of course, I would have to think of a story to another popular war song, "They’re Either explain the boy’s activity. Then the hard part – Too Young or Too Old." I would have to write it.

The lyrics were about how the pickings were I was the boy I called "Artie" in the novel, and slim for the girls left at home – the only guys I would tell the story from his point of view left were either too young or too old, either (which I could imagine since it was my own too grey or too "grassy green": the best were during that era.) I was 9 years old and a Cub in the Army, what’s left will never harm Scout in Den #6, Pack #54 in Indianapolis me…Oh my God. Even as a 9-year-old, I when I heard that the Japanese had bombed could imagine what 4F guys – who were Pearl Harbor, a United States naval base which deemed physically or mentally unfit for the

service – must feel, hearing those words.

The "harm" didn’t mean anything about physical abuse; it meant that females would find such a boy or man "harmless" in the sense of there being no danger of anyone wanting to go out with him, much less fall in love with him!

So I invented my love triangle by making up the character of poor old "Clarence Foltz" who was 4-F – I even gave him what sounded to me like a crummy name (as I would have called it in "Artie’s" lingo.)

"He believed in fact that God had ‘shed his grace’ on this land, that this grace was tangible, visible, in the arch of rainbows over wet fields, the slant of shed sunlight on the sides of old barns. His pride in his country was sustained by the signs of nature and the symbols of men, not only the bright stars and stripes that flew from public buildings and hung from private porches but the comforting, everyday emblems of home: Bob’s Eats, Joe’s Premium, Mail Pouch Tobacco. This was what Roy and all the other boys were fighting to save, preserve and protect, along with the people who were lucky enough to live in and of it, and all this was sacred, worthy of any sacrifice, including life itself. For without it, life would be hollow and dumb."

- "under the apple tree: a world war II home front novel" by Dan Wakefield atBrip.com / SEPTEMBER 2015 / BROAD RIPPLE MAGAZINE / 9

“Under the Apple Tree” by Dan Wakefield has been re-released by Hawthorn Press.

So I had something of a "plot." Now all I had to do was write the novel. That’s always the hard part.

It was fun, though, to go to the Boston Public Library, one of the few with "open stacks" which allowed you to leaf through Time and Life magazines from the ‘40s and copy out passages and quote them as if "Artie" were reading them from those very magazines.

One thing I didn’t have to copy and read anything to remind me about – the amazing spirit of genuine patriotism of the war that brought our country and its citizens and soldiers closer and more united than we have ever been before or since or probably ever will be again as our wars become more fragmented and difficult to explain and understand with questions on every side about their necessity or validity or eventual effect. In those days, everything was clearcut good against evil as "Artie" expressed it in his own words and feelings:

Artie had never been ‘from sea to shining sea,’ nor had he seen ‘the purple mountain’s majesty,’ but he knew they were out there, believed in them and saw every day with his own eyes the beauty of the gentle hills, the creeks and cornfields, the solid old white frame houses and the ancient oaks of Town.

INDYGO RED LINE GOING "GREEN" Writer / Kara Reibel

A more ambitious public transportation system for Indianapolis has been on the table and in the headlines for years, but plans are finally coming into focus, and city officials are sharing the details with Broad Ripple and other areas that will benefit from a new rapid transit service.

The 35-mile Red Line will run from Westfield and Carmel to Greenwood through Indianapolis using fully-electric buses driving in dedicated lanes. The route will use College Avenue and is planned to include stations at the Indianapolis Art Center, Broad Ripple Avenue, Kessler and 54th Street.

IndyGo officials note that the Red Line will bring a new kind of frequent, convenient transit service to neighborhoods like Broad Ripple along a heavily-populated, heavilytraveled corridor.

"More than 100,000 residents live within a five-minute walk of the future Red Line route, along with one of every four jobs in the city," noted Bryan Luellen, Director of Public Affairs for IndyGo.

and Westfield to Greenwood – enjoy Broad Ripple without depending on their cars."

Luellen noted that the opposite is also true – the Red Line will put Broad Ripple residents just minutes away from the Carmel Arts and Design District and Westfield’s Grand Park or south to the heart of downtown, Fountain Square, and on to Greenwood.

While bus rapid transit will help commuters ease their daily grind, it also provides a more convenient connection to the Children’s Museum for families, Lucas Oil Stadium for Colts fans and much more.

"We want to help people get to work, but we also want rapid transit to connect our recreational and cultural destinations," Luellen added. "The Red Line will eventually help Bus rapid transit (BRT) service like the people from across the region – from Carmel Red Line has been embraced by many cities

across the country, said Mark Fisher, VicePresident of the Indy Chamber, which has pushed for the Red Line and the broader ‘Indy Connect’ plan for regional transit.

"BRT is a really efficient way to implement rapid transit with many of the same benefits – at less cost – as light rail," Fisher said.

"Indianapolis is really overdue for this kind of service."

Fisher also served on the board of MidTown Indianapolis, the coalition of neighborhood associations that includes Broad Ripple, Meridian-Kessler and others.

He sees BRT bringing new customers to local businesses, encouraging new

development and raising property values along the route.

"In Cleveland, the Health Line bus rapid transit project has led to nearly $5.8 billion in new economic activity since 2008," Fisher said, noting that the Red Line has similar potential based on current population and employment.

"It means continued momentum for areas like Broad Ripple and helping rebuild the neighborhoods between Broad Ripple and downtown too," he said.

Mark Fisher, Vice-President of the Indy Chamber and a member of the Mid-Town Indianapolis board of directors, believes that Indianapolis is long overdue for rapid transit service like the Red Line.

build our nonprofit and be competitive.

We strive to find ways to stand out and still provide unique services.

“One of our strategies is to develop and maintain strong corporate sponsorships that are looking to reach and assist communities that really are underserved.

Companies like Bastian Solutions, American Structurepoint and the Indianapolis Colts organization have stepped in and offered not only financial contributions, but we will open up their businesses and give our scholars access with experiential learning trips where the students will learn about different jobs and job skills that are available to them.

This allows our kids to dream beyond their circumstances.”

Support from the local businesses is essential in sustaining organizations like DREAM Alive, and the business partners that support DREAM Alive engage because they share a philosophy with the

organization that the community’s youth is a community’s future. For example, Bastian Solutions will hire students from within the DREAM Alive program and place them in jobs within their corporation.

In addition to the business community’s support, the DREAM Alive organization recognizes the importance of having positive mentors on board to work with and help raise up their scholars.

at Sullivan’s Steakhouse in Indianapolis.

An annual event since 2004, Wishing on Stars was first hosted by former Indianapolis Colts Tight End Marcus Pollard. Fellow Colts players, Indiana Pacers, Indy 500 drivers and other local celebrities are expected to attend the event.

Dwayne Allen, Player Executive for DREAM Alive, has stepped into a leadership role within the organization to assist with Glenn’s mission. Allen, tight end for the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts, is making an impact in the lives of Indianapolis at-risk youth. Allen serves not only as the professional face of the organization but also participates in program development and implementation.

“I grew up in the inner city of Fayetteville, North Carolina,” Allen said. “My story resonates so well with the children that we impact at DREAM Alive. I spend every opportunity that I get to spend with our kids. I see so much of myself in each and every one of them. I didn’t have anyone to look up to or have someone who looked like me, who came from similar situations as me, trying to inspire me. That is why I am passionate about wanting the kids to want more in their lives.

“I want them to understand that regardless of where you come from, how you were raised or who you were raised by, you can’t allow your circumstances to dictate who you who are or who you want to be. That’s what our mission is all about. We educate the kids and provide resources and knowledge, so that they can go and be successful in their lives.”

Allen will host the annual Wishing on Stars benefit on Monday, September 14 TownePost.com / SEPTEMBER 2015 / TOWNEPOST NETWORK

The evening will feature a cocktail reception, followed by celebrity introductions, dinner and a silent and live auction. The players and other celebrities are willing to sign autographs, serve cocktails, personalize voicemails, perform guests’ favorite songs and spend time with attendees in a relaxed, enjoyable private environment of 150-200 guests.

In addition to Allen, numerous fellow Colts players are expected to attend.

Past attendees include Glenn, Pat McAfee, Tamika Catchings, Anthony Castanzo, T.Y. Hilton, Coby Fleener, Matt Hasselbeck, Dallas Clark, Peyton Manning, David Thornton, Jeff Saturday, Ken Dilger, Roy Hibbert, Reggie Wayne, Marcus Pollard, Bob Sanders, Joseph Addai, Gary Brackett, Marlin Jackson,

Robert Mathis, Chris Lytle and more.

“This event is our largest fundraiser for DREAM Alive, and all of the resources that are collected go directly towards the kids and to supply our DREAM coaches with resources that they need to impact their lives,” Allen explained. “Businesses can donate monetarily, and that helps to supply the necessary resources, but what

is most costly to the businesses and is most cherished by DREAM Alive is the organization’s time.

“By them opening their doors to our programs so that we can take the kids to different businesses around Indianapolis and around the state, we can expose the kids to things outside of the inner city. Little by little, this begins to break down the barriers of their world. We take them for walks around university campuses or to a business like WTHR or a military base to expose them,so that they can begin to dream bigger.

“As we continue to grow and obtain more funding, we can expand our reach and develop a model that is replicable in cities throughout the country. Our goal is to replicate the programs in all NFL host cities and team up with players from those teams who will then engage their local school corporations.

“Here in Indianapolis, we want to expand in all IPS schools and surrounding areas, so that we can serve the underserved and fill in the gaps, so that no child falls in between. We want to see all children have opportunities to resources that they need to become successful adults. Ultimately, that is how it should be.”

“This is the way we wanted to live our retirement.”

-Jim and Nancy Russell

We worked hard for years in order to live the active life we wanted when we retired.

And, there are so many clubs and interest groups that we find we are always busy. We love our beautiful apartment home and appreciate all of the benefits of living in a maintenance-free community.

Westminster Village North became our home shortly after we retired, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

A future of possibility, a foundation of support.

Trek team, April 2015

April 25, 2015 – an earthquake struck Nepal nine miles away from Mt. Everest. Indianapolis trekkers Ace Yakey, David Carter, John Mead, Glenn Moehling, Dr. Michael Myers and Dr. Charles Hasbrook traveled to Nepal in April with the intention of reaching Base Camp at Mt. Everest. If they had not diverted from their itinerary, they would have been at Base Camp on April 25.

"April 25th was the eighth day of our trek," shares Hasbrook. "Had it not been for a fortuitous unscheduled tour in Kathmandu, we would have been at Base Camp when the earthquake struck."

At an elevation of 15,500 ft. in the town of Dughla, Nepal, the group began making their way along their final leg to Base Camp and were about an hour and a half into their three hour hike when they felt the ground move underneath them. They were in the middle of a valley 3/4 mile wide, surrounded by mountains in the clouds. At approximately 11:55 a.m. local time, the earthquake struck, lasting around 30-45 seconds and measured 7.8.

"You could hear a lot of avalanches and landslides," recalls Carter who has reached the summit of Everest. "We sat there for about 20 minutes before hiking on to Lobuche."

When they reached Lobuche, they realized how bad the damage was to the area. Dr. Myers got a WiFi connection and sent out some quick messages through their phone tree, sharing that they were ok and that they probably wouldn’t be heard from again for a few days.

"We had a decision to make. ‘Do we go up? Down? What do we do?’ Some of the Sherpas made it down the mountain from Base Camp, and some were injured," shares Hasbrook. "It was

determined unsafe for us to go up there which disappointed myself and Dr. Myers as we were eager to help the injured at Everest ER. We had a lot of good reasons to be there, but it wasn’t meant to be."

Instead the group (11 trekkers and 5 Sherpas) headed to Pheriche, a village where they thought they would be safe. It is estimated that approximately 2,000 trekkers would be along the path, all wanting to travel out of Nepal. This congestion compounded the fact that all helicopters were immediately utilized for rescue efforts and would delay departure for thousands.

The group entered Pheriche the day following the earthquake where they discovered every home and building was either destroyed or suffered major structural damage. Fifteen minutes after arriving into the town, another earthquake struck, moving the ground about 24" either way for 45 seconds under their feet.

"It was at that point we realized we were still in a fairly dangerous situation," recalls Dr. Myers. "We would continue to see a lot of damage wherever we went."

The trekkers would experience three earthquakes in 24 hours.

These aftershocks would keep the men alert and slightly unnerved.

At one point on the trek to safety, they watched the earth begin shaking under their feet.

"I thought David was experiencing vertigo," recalls Hasbrook of one of the aftershocks. "Because I saw him taking some funny steps, and a couple gentlemen from California estimated it was an earthquake of at least a 6.0 magnitude." It was officially measured at 6.6.

David Carter and Tim Kepl David Carter, summit Mt. Everest on 5/23/97

Kathmandu temple held up with logs

The group had to keep moving along the steep mountainside, and 10 seconds after this aftershock, they witnessed a huge rockslide to their left. The men knew they were all right for the moment but did not feel secure for quite some time.

They reached the steep mountainside town of Lobuche and went to their designated tea house with their Sherpas who made sure their group was safe. "We see this tea house with a half wall missing and cracks in the building," says Hasbrook. "But the people were ok."

The group would also pass through Solukhumbu on their way back to Kathmandu. The group would learn that 9,000 perished in Nepal with 19 dying at Base Camp (deadliest day in history for Mt. Everest).

Doctors Myers and Hasbrook were eager to offer their help to the effort of caring for the wounded. They were quick to approach any and all medical facilities and hospitals they encountered. Their services were not needed. The hospitals were not overwhelmed with injured, only the dead.

It took the band of trekkers four days to make their descent. The weather continued to be a challenge, impacting outbound flights.

Thirty-four planes went out one day, carrying only 450 people. The group waited 30 hours to get out and flew to Kathmandu, seeing relief pallets on the tarmac.

"We felt lucky to see the airport was open," says Hasbrook. "The next day, it was closed due to the weight of the cargo planes. The

Nepalese government didn’t have resources to deliver the aid where needed."

Since returning from their adventure, their group has been on Facebook with their Sherpas. There were five Sherpas in their team.

Four of the five lost their homes. As they descended the mountain, the focus of the Sherpas was the team and getting these men and women off the mountain safely, but they must have been concerned for their families.

Carter and friend Jay Miller, who has been to Nepal three times, along with his son, Carter, who is a senior at Park Tudor, took a trip to Nepal this summer. Supported by the other members of their group and donations from corporate sponsors, they personally delivered relief to their Sherpas and their tribal villages. Carter and the Millers hauled 43 bags on United Airlines containing six-person tents, medical supplies, solar lighting and sleeping bags.

Efforts to rebuild began immediately after the earthquake, but a mere 10 days later, a 6.6 magnitude aftershock destroyed the rebuilding efforts. "We got the message that they were ok with food but not shelter," says Hasbrook. The team bonded together, procuring donations of tents, tarps and sleeping bags. "We had already given our equipment to our Sherpas before we left. They were all terrified of sleeping in a solid structure for fear of collapse."

"The real work is after the media attention dies," shares Dr. Myers.

"Our efforts are very pointed and specific to helping the villages recover."

KAYLA WYATT, INSPIRING THROUGH MUSIC Writer / Kara Reibel Photographer / Kara Reibel, Janet Wyatt

"My family is great!" states Kayla Wyatt of her supportive parents. "They have always told me that I’m a convincing actress."

From the outside, one would never know the medical struggles that Kayla has experienced. She never remembers a time when her stomach didn’t hurt.

"In second grade, Kayla said, ‘You know, daddy, when you eat and your belly hurts.’ We had no clue this was her daily experience with meals," shares mom Janet Wyatt.

atBrip.com / SEPTEMBER 2015 / BROAD RIPPLE MAGAZINE / 31

"Kayla was diagnosed at the age of 15 with chronic pancreatitis, and she possesses a rare mutation of the hereditary gene.

She was one of six known cases in North America."

-Kayla Wyatt pancreas removal

"Other kids would look at me and say, ’She’s faking it’ and ‘She just wants attention,’" recalls Kayla. "But my doctors knew the truth. My flashbacks of childhood memories involve me crying a lot."

"Kayla used to be incredibly shy, so shy that in preschool, a little girl thought her name was Kayla ‘Quiet’ instead of Kayla Wyatt," shares Kayla’s mom, Janet. "Through music and performing, she has discovered her confidence and her voice."

By the time Kayla turned 11, she was spending more time at Riley Children’s Hospital than at home. After years of testing and countless medical appointments with specialists, Kayla was diagnosed at the age of 15 with chronic pancreatitis, and she possesses a rare mutation of the hereditary gene. She was one of six known cases in North America.

Kayla taught herself to play guitar at Riley when she was 13. She had always loved music. In fact, the most harsh of punishments would be if she was banned from the piano.

At age 17, she had her pancreas removed.

There are only two facilities that performed a total pancreatectomy with auto-islet transplant to her liver and only one for pediatrics, which was at the University of Minnesota.

With the gift of music, Kayla has discovered how inspiring her story is and visits Riley often to bring smiles to children that are facing their own struggles. She also plays her guitar at IU Medical Center when inpatient, usually with Tony Medieros, her mentor and music therapist.

"It’s been a rough road, but I’m thriving. I was told that I would not live past the age of

20," says Kayla, who is almost 25 and doing well. She adds, "I just moved out on my own which was huge for me and my parents."

Janet shared that people would stop and talk to her and ask Kayla her name in the halls at Riley, but she never answered them, instead opting to hide behind her mom. It was not until the fourth grade that she began to speak out loud in class.

"Now I think her classmates would pass out if they saw ‘Miss Social Butterfly’ performing on stage!" says Janet Wyatt.

"I have learned to take the bad with the good, and I am absolutely blessed for every day that I can open my eyes," says Kayla. "I have one goal every day, and that is to make one person smile. If I can do that, then I have accomplished something."

Kayla "Kiki" Wyatt is on Facebook.

IMEM Music Festival at the Vogue

Indiana has a history of music, broadcasting and film. A group of historians and entertainment professionals want to share it with the world in the form of a museum celebrating Indiana-based music, cinema and broadcasting. Right now, the goal is to get a physical space to display such items.

The Indiana Music and Entertainment Museum (IMEM) will be hosting a fundraising event at The Vogue on Sept. 17. An eclectic group of Indiana musicians (Cathy Morris, Henry Lee Summer, a reunion of The Fabulous Starlettes, Beki Brindle, Art Adams and Allen "Turk" Burke, former member of The Spinners) will be performing. A sample exhibit will be on display. Celebrity emcees will be hosting an auction as well as explaining the importance of the IMEM. Rick Wilkerson, IMEM Board President, said this event would be a major leap in getting the museum off the ground.

"We have been talking for a long time about having some music hall of fame," he said. "I know the Jazz Foundation has tried to create a museum dedicated to Indiana Avenue, and it fell through. Larry Goshen and I met last year and started meeting with others in our core group."

Goshen, IMEM’s Vice President, said it’s important to celebrate the state’s history in music, movies and broadcasting.

A sample of what the IMEM has to offer was on display at the Central Library. Items included a mute from jazz trombonist J.J. Johnson, a hat and tie plus a recording from jazz musician Jimmy Coe, photos of rockabilly singer Bill Sherrell, lobby cards of Red Skelton, Phil Harris and Steve McQueen, and an autographed item from Jimi Hendrix when he performed at the State Fair Coliseum in 1969.

"Several of us on the board are serious collectors. We all have attics and basements of stuff and think it’s a shame to have them stuck there. We want to share it with the community," Wilkerson said.

The Vogue event is expected to bring more awareness to Indiana’s history in music, film and broadcasting. Also Wilkerson joked, "We are trying to get our treasury above the level of dirt poor. We have a tiny bit of money, but we are hoping this event helps proves that we are serious about this."

If you have items for consideration, send your inquiries to imemindiana.org or call Larry Goshen at 317-264-8126.

Matthew Socey is host of the Blues House Party, Film Soceyology and the producer of Stolen Moments for WFYI 90.1 FM. He will also be the M.C. for the 2015 Indy Winter Blues Festival.

"A lot of people don’t know about the history that has happened here. We want to dedicate this to all the people that have entertained the people of Indiana. It’s to all the musicians like the people from Indiana Avenue, the movie stars originally from Indiana and the movie stars who worked in Indiana plus those who were broadcasting here in Indiana. The achievements made here in the state should be remembered," Goshen said.

Right now, IMEM has some items and the desire. Now it’s a matter of a location and funds.

"There is no brick and mortar museum. It’s a quest. We are having as many public events as we can to help muster interest and funds to get a physical space. Hopefully, we will find enough people to help us find a building, and if they have items that seem to fit, donate items for display," Wilkerson said.

The IMEM is currently working on its 501(c)(3) status, and Wilkerson said they will be heading down the grant paths. "We want to demonstrate that we can pull off events like the one at The Vogue and be able to display ... to add some credibility," he said. atBrip.com / SEPTEMBER 2015 / BROAD RIPPLE MAGAZINE / 35

MARILENE ISAACS KAUFFMAN RENOWNED INTUITIVE THERAPIST

Marilene climbing to the top of the West Baden resort to descend into the hidden Angel room.

36 / BROAD RIPPLE MAGAZINE / SEPTEMBER 2015 / atBRip.com

Tucked along Westfield Boulevard is a beautiful home built in 1928 where magical things happen. The grounds are lush, and the home is unique, indicative of its owner, who happens to be one of the most prominent and naturally gifted spiritual intuitives in the country. A true mystic and respected spiritual teacher, Marilene Isaacs Kauffman has been seeing clients for over 40 years.

Marilene’s reputation as a seer, psychic and intuitive began as a child where she thought it was normal to feel so connected to nature and beyond. "My father had been a beekeeper since he was 5 years old," shares Kauffman. "I was never stung and couldn’t understand why my friends would run away from them."

Recently, the story of Kauffman’s youth, titled "I was Born Orgasmic," was shared in Betsy Blankenbaker’s new book, "Autobiographies of Our Orgasms."

"I remember where I was before birth…I remember there was light, there was joy, there was oneness…I was born into the legacy of a mystical family. My paternal great-grandmother, Serilda Eileen Shook Moore, was of the Creek Nation…she and my grandmother were very spiritual, intuitive and had healing abilities. From a young age, I was already showing mine."

- Marilene Isaacs Kauffman, "Autobiographies of Our Orgasms" Throughout Kauffman’s life, she has felt a strong sense of oneness with the world and universe that surrounds us. She promotes unconditional love and demonstrates this every day all day. Her abilities cannot be denied; the authentic talent she possesses is innate and natural which explains why she has been coveted and sought after for decades by her clients, including celebrities and people across the globe who know her as a healer of people, animals and places.

Kauffman was a regular on the Gary Todd morning show on WIBC and for many years on Q95’s "The Bob and Tom Show" which is how she met Betsy Blankenbaker.

"Marilene is amazing! I met her over 20 years ago and am thrilled that she shared her story for my book," says Blankenbaker. "Now it’s common for people to consult an intuitive and seek healing on a spiritual level.

Marilene was a trailblazer in this area."

Kauffman was the first to accomplish many things, being ahead of the times. In July 1983, she opened the first Flotation Center in the Midwest.

Kauffman Flotation Center remained open for a decade, and today there are a couple new ones opening.

"My mom, Joyce Isaacs, helped run the Center and also taught spiritual classes," shares Kauffman. "She was such a positive and intuitive person and always believed in miracles. I was born in 1948 and was lucky to be born into a family that was very open."

In addition to being featured on radio, Kauffman started her own television show in 1987 called "The Psychic Connection." atBrip.com / SEPTEMBER 2015 / BROAD RIPPLE MAGAZINE / 37

"MARILENE IS AMAZING! I MET HER OVER 20 YEARS AGO AND AM THRILLED THAT SHE SHARED HER STORY FOR MY BOOK. NOW IT’S COMMON FOR PEOPLE TO CONSULT AN INTUITIVE AND SEEK HEALING ON A SPIRITUAL LEVEL. MARILENE WAS A TRAILBLAZER IN THIS AREA." - BETSY BLANKENBAKER This hour-long show was the first of its kind to have a live audience and live call-ins. It was filmed inside the Comcast studios. Her show was wildly popular. It was taken on by PBS, who renamed it "The Consciousness Connection."

"The TV show was a format for me to share my gifts, but also we filmed the Harmonic Convergence in 1987 at Serpent Mound and the Dalai Lama’s consecration of the Tibetan Cultural Center in 1987," shares Kauffman. "We featured many other spiritual events that were going on and incorporated them into the show, and we also had people from different spiritual paths as guests as they came through town."

The longevity of her working full-time at this for so long lies in Isaacs’ main message which has always been based on a conscious belief system. She is not a channeler, not "new age," but her true path has been that of "mystic" because she lives her life honoring her gifts.

With her ability to consciously recall her birth and specifics of past lives, Kauffman feels this could not be ignored or blocked.

"The Holy Spirit guides everything that I do," shares Kauffman. "I simply flow the unconditional love from Divine and share what is meant to be shared."

Kauffman is much more accessible now than she’s been in the past, even though she is busier than ever. She has found her stride and has a wonderful assistant, Glenda Honeycutt, whom she credits for her schedule and efficiency. Kauffman is mentoring and keynote speaking around the country.

In addition to gracing the covers of The Indianapolis Star (1978), the Indianapolis Business Journal (’80s) and many other publications, she was featured in all eight of Dan T. Hall’s paranormal movies. Currently Kauffman is working on two different film projects and finishing a long-awaited book.

Kauffman is holding an Equinox Oracle Event at her home on September 23. For more details on this event and scheduling an intuitive therapy appointment with Marilene, call 317-259-8001.

Her events are posted on her Facebook page: Marilene Isaacs.
