The Indianapolis 500 revs up

to celebrate its

running in 2016 18

100th

Ladies and gentlemen… start your engines.

The world’s greatest spectacle in racing is gearing up for an auspicious anniversary in 2016 as the Indianapolis 500, presented by PennGrade Motor Oil, celebrates its 100th running on Sunday, May 29. “The 100th Running of the Indy 500 will be an unrivaled event that showcases our legacy and sets the stage for an extremely bright future,” said Indianapolis Motor Speedway president Doug Boles. “This is an iconic moment in global sports, and we are preparing to make sure that our entire community and region help celebrate in what will certainly be an event for the ages.” Although 2016 marks the Indianapolis 500’s 100th running, the first Indianapolis 500 actually took place in 1911. A lot has changed since that very first lap around the track. However, much of the excitement that surrounds the race has remained the same. From the pomp and circumstance of the opening ceremonies to the breathless adrenaline rush of the checkered flag and the race winner taking the traditional swig of milk, the Indianapolis 500 offers fans a full-fledged racing experience like no other. From start to finish, Indianapolis 500’s month of May activities pump big bucks into the Indianapolis economy. “The Indianapolis 500 is a global phenomenon that generates $300 million in economic impact for Central Indiana throughout the month of May,” said Leonard Hoops, president and CEO of Visit Indy. “With this year marking the 100th running, we’ve already seen an increase in interest from loyal fans to fans-in-the-making. This year’s event will be an epic affair that honors the deep-rooted traditions of a century-old race, while identifying new traditions and celebrating what’s to come in the next 100 years.”

Dario Franchitti, three time winner of the Indy 500

The Indianapolis 500 draws an annual attendance of more than 300,000 enraptured viewers, not to mention a global television audience of some 292 million households. Many of this year’s popular month of May festivities take on a 100th running theme in honor of the 2016 milestone. It all kicks off with the OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon on Saturday, May 7. The Chase 500 Festival Kids’ Day takes over Monument Circle on Saturday, May 14 for the Rookie Run and other family-friendly fun; and everyone loves the IPL 500 Festival Parade, high-stepping and rolling through downtown Indianapolis on Saturday, May 28. In the meantime, there’s also Miller Lite Carb Day on Friday, May 27 to consider — Journey headlines this year’s concert, as well as the Firestone Legends Day concert featuring Blake Shelton on Saturday, May 28. Of course, the distinctive whine of the IndyCar engines lures local residents and fans to the track to watch practice sessions all month long, culminating in the main event itself. The Indianapolis 500 draws an annual attendance of more than 300,000 enraptured viewers, not to mention a global television audience of some 292 million households. To prepare for the 100th running, IMS has been hard at work on the Project 100 capital improvement initiative for the past few years, updating features and adding amenities to the facility. The IMS road course that hosts the Angie’s List Grand Prix of Indianapolis has received significant upgrades and modifications; and the speedway itself now houses 20 new state-of-the-art video boards for HD coverage of track activities, as well as increased concessions and upgraded restrooms. Additionally, a new roofline has been added on top of the updated penthouse seating, and elevators will now allow disabled access to these upper deck seats for the first time in IMS history. Speedway’s emerging Main Street is also getting into the act — look for new additions like the Daredevil Brewing Co. tap room, the Foyt Wine Vault, and Sarah Fisher’s new 60,000-square-foot indoor karting facility. And a front porch party program, complete with décor kits, encourages Speedway community residents to tap into the Indy 500 excitement by hosting their own race-themed get-togethers. For tickets, a schedule of events, and additional information about this year’s monumental 100th running of the Indianapolis 500, visit indianapolismotorspeedway.com.

Auto Indiana Rides

Across The State

by Melissa Brummett The Indiana Historical Society’s traveling exhibit Auto Indiana is making its way around the state, stopping in three cities in the months of April, May and June. Visitors of Auto Indiana will learn how the Hoosier state left its mark on the industry. From innovators Elwood Haynes and Ralph Teetor to automakers Studebaker and Duesenberg, Indiana has a rich history. The exhibit, sponsored by Kroger, allows guests to explore how the creation of automobiles made a longlasting impact in the iron, steel and glass businesses. Visitors can also see how cars became a part of the American Dream and popular culture and look down the road at automobiles today and the environmental impact they play for Hoosiers. Auto Indiana will jump start April 1 through 30 at Purdue University Hick’s Undergraduate Library, 504 West State St., West Lafayette. The exhibit is visiting the South Whitley Public Library May 1 through 30 at 201 E. Front St. South Whitley. It makes its final stop from June 1 through 27 at the Shipshewana Area Historical Society, 760 S. Van Buren St. Shipshewana.

n Indianapolis, the Hulman name is synonymous with racing. But what you may not know is that the family originally established itself as an economic powerhouse in Terre Haute long before its Indianapolis Motor Speedway era came along.

It all started when brothers Francis and Herman Hulman settled in west-central Indiana after immigrating from Germany in the 1850s, joining forces to open a wholesale grocery and merchandise business. After Francis perished in a ship fire on the way back to America from a trip to his homeland, Herman assumed solo leadership of Hulman & Co. at the tender age of 27. In 1879, the company produced its very first baking powder formula, evolving through several iterations into the Clabber Girl brand in 1923. Tony Hulman Jr., Herman’s grandson and a beloved philanthropic figure within the Terre Haute community, took the Clabber Girl helm in 1931. He spent the next decade working to make Clabber Girl a household name, sending a sales force across the country and placing Clabber Girl signage on barns and fences along America’s quickly growing highway system. While Tony was concentrating his efforts on marketing, racing notables Wilbur Shaw and Eddie Rickenbacker encouraged him to purchase the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and use the facility as a venue to promote Clabber Girl. The track had stood idle for several years following World War II and fallen into disrepair. It took some convincing to assure Tony he was making a good investment, and on Nov. 14, 1945, he sealed the deal. The rest, as they say, is history. Tony’s hard work has certainly paid off many times over. Clabber Girl is now the No. 1 retail baking powder brand in America, sold in every majory grocery store in the U.S. and exported to over 40 countries worldwide. The company also distributes to a variety of wholesale and industrial outlets as well.

Through the years, Clabber Girl has expanded its offerings to include baking soda, cornstarch and within its food service division, the Royal® family of products — cheesecake, gelatins, pie fillings and puddings. If you’ve recently eaten a biscuit, tortilla, donut or cookie at a fast-food operation or grocery store, it’s most likely been made with a Clabber Girl ingredient.

“We’re not just a baking powder company,” said Gary Morris, Clabber Girl President and COO. “We’re a provider of ingredient solutions, and baking powder is just one of the ingredient solutions that we provide.”

Clabber Girl employs approximately 165 workers at its Terre Haute-based facility, and a fifth generation of Hulmans still sits on the privately-owned company’s board of directors. “The Hulman family and Clabber Girl Corporation have been generous community benefactors since 1850,” said David Patterson, Executive Director, of the Terre Haute Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Patterson described the Hulmans’ many contributions as significant and impactful to Terre Haute, including support of organizations such as St. Benedict’s Parish, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, St. Mary-of-the-Woods College, Terre Haute International Airport-Hulman Field, and the Hulman Center multi-purpose arena on the Indiana State University campus.

Additionally, Clabber Girl has branched into the artisan coffee arena with on-site Rex Roasting coffee operations, reviving an effort initiated by Herman Hulman in the 1800s to create a top-quality

“Food is personal,” Morris said. “A big part of our mission is to share that idea with the public, and we take it very seriously.” Morris says the biggest hurdle the company faces is finding ways to stay relevant in an ever-changing marketplace. “When I joined the company 16 years ago, 90 percent of our business was the retail baking powder,” he said. “However, most people are no longer cooking from scratch and the number of households eating meals at home has declined. Now, less than 20 percent of baking powder in the U.S. is sold to retail avenues, so we’ve expanded our offerings and are moving into making custom blends for the industrial side of the business. Today, we have around 100 different formulas.”

Keeping the company current takes vision and dedication. Morris is up for the challenge. “Our job is to make sure we’re around for another 160 years, and position the company so that it has that opportunity,” he said.

Brickyard to Backyard To commemorate the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500 in 2016, Clabber Girl has assembled “Brickyard to Backyard: Remembering Recipes from Race Days Past.” The cookbook is a collection of more than 40 recipes with accompanying photos and race day anecdotes from Indianapolis 500 fans, IndyCar drivers and teams, and employees of Clabber Girl and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The cookbook retails for $25 and is available at the Clabber Girl Bake Shop in Terre Haute and online at clabbergirl.com.

long birthday party in 2016 and you’re invited. At this birthday party, however, the guest of honor isn’t the parks system that turns 100. The guest of honor is every member of the public that participates in the dozens of centennial celebrations throughout Indiana. After all, the parks system was established in 1916 as a gift to Hoosiers in recognition of the state’s 100th birthday. It only makes sense to honor that legacy by offering programs that serve presentday Hoosiers first, while also celebrating the system’s century of history. Examples include “arts in the park” days that demonstrate traditional crafts such as limestone carving and blacksmithing, guided hikes, heritage festivals, the Indiana Dunes Birding Festival, a weekend in which entrance fees will be rolled back to 1916 prices, and more. “Indiana’s citizens have certainly enjoyed this birthday gift they first unwrapped in 1916,” said Indiana’s First Lady Karen Pence, recalling childhood memories of state park camping trips. “Today there are an estimated 15 to 16 million visits each year. People hike, camp, stay in our great Indiana State Park Inns, ride a mountain bike, or visit a nature center.” Richard Lieber, who guided efforts to develop a parks system, said their purpose would be to “refresh and strengthen and renew” tired people. “In conclusion, I hope and trust that the small beginning we have made will have laid the foundation for a comprehensive system of State Parks which will not only stand forever as a token of the past, but which will bring health, wealth and happiness to our own generation and the many that will come after us,” he wrote in 1916. So this year, enjoy the centennial celebrations and self-guided activities aimed at making visits to parks more meaningful in 2016. And in coming years, enjoy the improved facilities, legacy construction projects, and expanded natural areas dedicated to the state parks’ centennial and the state’s bicentennial.

Something Special in Terre Haute BY KAREN WEIK

“Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.” So goes the motto chanted by Special Olympic athletes across the nation each year as they participate in regional and state games. The saying has become a credo to inspire thousands of communities to support the organization, and millions of athletes to attend, despite challenges they may face. And for the past 43 years, every second weekend in June, the Indiana Special Olympic games have been held in Terre Haute. It has become a proud tradition that local residents hold near and dear to their hearts. “At the very least, 6,000 people come here every June,” said Terre Haute Convention and Visitors Bureau Executive Director, David Patterson. “Our community is transformed.” 44

Special Olympics Indiana President and CEO, Michael Furnish, says their athletes “love” Terre Haute. “Many of our athletes don’t travel much. With everyone, their first trip (to Terre Haute) is total adventure. For many, it’s the first time away from home.” Athletes from all 92 Indiana counties are represented at the state games, and start to arrive in Terre Haute on Thursday, prior to the three-day event. Indiana State University, in downtown Terre Haute, hosts the games and opens its dorms for athletes to stay in. Friday night’s opening ceremony and Olympic-style parade of athletes kicks -off the festivities at ISU’s Hulman Center, complete with music, entertainment and the flame of hope. Ceremonies include an inspiring keynote speaker to launch the celebration in style. But it’s the athletes themselves, their experiences here and how they affect those who

watch them, who are in for the real treat. “Everyone needs to spend one hour at Special Olympics. It’ll change their life,“ Patterson says. “The games feature sports at its purest form.” The “goodwill-based venture”, as Patterson calls it, not only provides a financial impact to the area, but breaches the gap of interacting with people with disabilities. Furnish calls it, a feeling of acceptance. “People want the athletes there, they put up signs saying “Welcome Special Olympics!’. There’s a feeling of welcome-ness that instills pride.” With sixty percent of athletes living at home, regardless of age, “Terre Haute is the only place they know outside of home,” Furnish explains. “It’s a spectacular adventure! They navigate the university freely, because they are wanted there. It gives them a chance to feel like they’re going to college—an opportunity they would otherwise never get to experience.” Special Olympic games were first held in Indiana in 1969. The year prior, the very first games— ever—were held in Chicago’s Soldier Field. Special Olympics were the brainchild of the Kennedy family, spearheaded by Eunice Kennedy Shriver. Bush Stadium, in Indianapolis, hosted the first Indiana games with several hundred athletes in attendance,

along with two physical education professors from Indiana State University. Professors Tom Songster and Judy Campbell witnessed the games as a great way to train their students to be teachers, by gaining valuable practical experience orchestrating events. Thanks to their efforts, the following year, the state games moved to Terre Haute and Indiana State University. Furnish says 2,600 athletes participate in Special Olympics annually in Indiana, with at least 1,000 people accompanying them to Terre Haute. The organization then recruits more than 1,000 people to work the event. “We run the biggest track and field event in Indiana,” Furnish explains. This year, athletes will compete in a new track at ISU, situated along the Wabash River. Authorities are working to make the state-of-the-art track, featuring a large screen, better than ever, to enhance the athlete’s experience. Those in the know say attending the games is a “mustsee” experience, if for no other reason than to see pure joy, happiness and sportsmanship at its finest. “If you come here, to experience this event, you’ll never forget it,” emphasized Patterson. “It’s an experience like none other.” Special Olympics will be held June 10-12 in Terre Haute at Indiana State University and Rose Hulman Institute of Technology. Events include aquatics, bocce, bowling, cycling, horseshoes, powerlifting, track and field, and volleyball. For more information contact Terre Haute Visitors Bureau at www.terrehaute.com

Once the only way to travel before roads, and when thick forests carpeted our state, now Indiana’s waterways—winding rivers, inland lakes and even a long stretch of Lake Michigan coast— still beckon us to journey in ways of yore. So climb aboard—the water’s great— whether it’s a wine cruise on Patoka Lake, navigating past the grounds of an old hotel where Al Capone stayed on the Dixie, Indiana’s oldest sternwheeler paddleboat, or a voyage along the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore with Captain Ed’s Big Deck Charters. In Fort Wayne, Captain Black’s Pontoon Tours depart from Fort Wayne Outfitters and Bike Depot for a two-hour “guided history” tour traveling on the St. Mary’s and St. Joseph rivers in downtown Fort Wayne. The standard tour is $250 for a group of 12 passengers maximum and the Deluxe costs $350 for the group and includes food and drinks which must be ordered 48 hours in advance. The Deck at the Gas House (this longtime favorite restaurant in downtown Fort Wayne earned its name because its located at the site of a 19th century gas plant) offers 20-minute rides along the St. Mary’s River Thursday through Saturday beginning around 6 p.m. You can also call to make a reservation.

S.S. Lillypad II in Koskiusko County

“Before there were good roads and cars, people would stand on the pier and wave at the boat so they could get a ride.” The Dixie, Lake Webster

During the season in Koskiusko County, the Wawasee Tour Boat Co. offers daily tours on the Oakwood Tour Boat, which holds 40 people, of the 27-acre Lake Wawasee, Indiana’s largest natural lake, named for Miami Chief Wawasee. For those staying at the Oakwood Resort in Syracuse, where the boat is docked, the tour is free; otherwise the one-hour trip costs just $10 per person. The boat is also available for private charters. Combine brunch, lunch or dinner with a voyage on the S.S. Lillypad II, a two-story, houseboat. At 70 feet long, it’s the largest boat on Lake Wawasee and accommodates groups of up to 110 people. The boat can

be booked for private parties, and offers several public cruises each month for varying lengths— two, three or four hours. The vessel’s big-screen TV also accommodates parties for viewing Notre Dame football in late summer and early fall. Each year the S.S. Lillypad II features themed parties such as Gilligan’s Island or Margaritaville. For decades, The Dixie, the state’s oldest sternwheeler paddleboat, has traversed the silvery blue waters of Webster Lake just blocks from the downtown of North Webster in Northern Indiana. On the National Registry of Historic Places, The Dixie offers 90-minute cruises starting Memorial Day weekend. “Before there were good roads and cars, people would stand on the pier and

wave at the boat so they could get a ride,” says former Dixie owner Dan Thystrup. He also noted the original boat, the City of Webster, was built in 1908 and functioned as a floating blacksmith, lumber, post office and grocery ferry, visiting the piers of houses that lined the shore of this 500-acre lake in North Webster, a small old-fashioned lake town. Replaced in 1928, this Dixie has been updated over the years, offering regularly scheduled cruises as well as being available for private charters. The 135-foot-long Madam Carroll, the largest licensed United States Coast Guard approved vessel in Indiana, was built in August of 1976 and has run continuously for the last four decades. Available for both public and private cruises on the 1,500-acre Lake Freeman in Monticello, Madame Carroll’s public cruises sail each Saturday night and some Friday nights from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. Cruise options include sightseeing, dinner or special events and last between two to three hours.

Oakwood Tour Boat, Lake Wawasee

Thick woodlands surround Indiana’s second largest manmade lake, 8,800acre Patoka Lake, making bald eagle and other wildlife sightings (osprey, deer, wild turkeys) a common occurrence. So climb aboard one of the two tour boats which dock at Patoka Lake Marina in Birdseye. Tour options include sunset wine and beer cruises, Wednesday nights and select Sunday afternoon rides.

Indiana’s Top Chefs BY ELIZABETH GRANGER

second in a series

A continuing look at Hoosier chefs underscores the threesome behind so many successful kitchens – fresh, local, high quality. But we’ve also found a strong hands-on dedication among these top-notch chefs as well as a commitment to educate others.

Al Papsodero Alberto’s, Corydon

traveliN SPRING 2016

The unassuming strip mall on the edge of Corydon used to have a secret. But the secret – Alberto’s Italian Restaurant – is out. Chef Al – Alberto, that is – Papsodero has brought a lifetime of Italian-influenced recipes to southern Indiana. He’s not from Italy but from New York City, learning first of all from his Italian dad and grandmother. He took himself to restaurant kitchens at 14, and when he left New York at 17 for Norfolk, Va., and then stops in Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, Florida, Kentucky and, because he was in the Army Reserves, Afghanistan, his culinary repertoire expanded. By the time his daughter was a toddler, this single father was an executive chef in Iowa, crisscrossing the state to oversee a number of restaurants. “But I was gone all week and my daughter was being raised by a nanny,” he says. “My child needed me.” So he took a vacation and visited relatives in southern Indiana, and he put his career on hold. Eventually he opened Coza in Jeffersonville and was there until eminent domain and a new bridge meant his building was being torn down. He also cooked for the University of Louisville football team for a season – their Sugar Bowl season. Then friends told him they needed an Italian restaurant in Corydon. Alberto’s opened on the Square downtown, then moved to the strip mall near the interstate. He’s in the kitchen every night. “I cook every single dish that leaves my kitchen every night,” he says. He tastes as he cooks, digging plastic spoon after plastic spoon out of his apron pocket to test his dishes. He says he goes through boxes of spoons each month. Two other Papsodero eateries are on the Square in downtown Corydon. Yo Mamma’s Pizza and Smokin’ Butt BBQ offer food different from Alberto’s, but all is made with the same care and watchfulness that’s a trademark of the Papsodero way. The pizza business is moving to the Alberto’s site and in its downtown spot Swanky Franky’s Hot Dogs will open. Papsodero often does double duty in the evenings, keeping watch over 12-year-old Kennedy as she hangs out with Dad in the restaurant on many after-school evenings. She may not work in the kitchen – it’s too hectic for her – but somehow the knowledge and expertise of her personal mentor soaks in. Proof comes when she nonchalantly offers culinary insight to friends when she visits their homes. And when diners ask for suggestions at the restaurant, Kennedy immediately singles out Dad’s lasagna and pistachio cake.

“I love pizza,” says 800 Degrees chef/owner Matt Rogers. He cooks with a wood-burning stove and patterns his pizzas after the ones he enjoyed in Barcelona, Spain. Photo by Elizabeth Granger

Matt Rogers 800 Degrees, Fort Wayne The restaurant idea can be summed up in three little words. “I love pizza.” And so 800 Degrees in Fort Wayne was born. Not quite overnight, but the seeds were sown by Matt Rogers’ parents when he was growing up. These grocery store owners served dinner at home each night. A good dinner with quality ingredients, often cooked from scratch by Dad. When he was 8 or 9, the young Rogers found a wok that his parents had received as a gift. It had never been used. “So I read the directions and made our first-ever wok meal,” he says. Fast forward past high school to college, where Rogers studied business. “But I knew I didn’t want to sit behind a desk,” he says. “And I’d always loved cooking.” So with a bachelor’s degree in business and a desire to work with food, Rogers went to Johnson & Wales University in Denver, which gets students who already have degrees into outstanding kitchens within a year. Rogers went to the Adams Mark Hotel there, starting in the banquet kitchen which served thousands. Soon he was second in charge and experienced his “aha” moment. “I’m probably doing what I’m supposed to be doing,” he remembers thinking. But he didn’t want to stay in Colorado. He returned to his Hoosier roots with an internship and then full employment at the top-notch restaurant Joseph Decius near Fort Wayne. “I began to learn what fine dining was,” he said. “Before that it was always mass quantity.” Two years there, another year as head chef at another restaurant, “and I learned that was what I did not want to do.” His strong sense of family conflicted with working on holidays. For Rogers, it just felt wrong. Re-enter his simple yet telling passion, pizza. Years earlier, before his schooling in Colorado, Rogers and his two brothers had spent an extended time in Barcelona, Spain, where they frequented a pizza place. “Best pizza I’d ever had in my life,” he says. The secret? A wood-burning oven.

(TOP) The sausage pizza is one of the more popular varieties at 800 Degrees. “The black spots you see are intentional and are a result of the high temperature,” says owner Matt Roger. Photo by Elizabeth Granger (BOTTOM) Mista, 800 Degrees’ signature salad with mixed greens, pine nuts, tomato, carrot, cucumber, red onion, shaved fennel, and parmesan cheese is a satisfying accompaniment to a pizza. Photo by Elizabeth Granger

So he and his stepfather spent a year traveling to the best pizzerias in the U.S., where they always checked out the ovens. And when they found the right oven, Rogers and a brother spent a month in California learning from the oven maker. Rogers’ philosophy? “Pick one thing and do it really, really well.” It happens at 800 Degrees. The pizza with high-quality ingredients, beginning with the daily quest for the perfect dough. Wood-burning ovens because “I love fire – there’s so much more going on.” Thorough training for the staff. It’s a business that supports the family – two sites in Fort Wayne with Rogers at one and his two brothers at the other, and dreams of opening a third in the Indianapolis area within a few years. And that idea about family holidays? 800 Degrees is closed on holidays. Last Thanksgiving the extended family dined together – on turkey – at the pizza place.

Brandon Canfeld Traders Point Creamery Brandon Canfield’s introduction to the food industry came about during college, simply to make money. His first job? Washing dishes. Then serving. And then, he says, one day he looked into the kitchen and realized “they’re having more fun.” So he left college, after more than three years there, to devote time to food. “It was how I could express my love to other people,” he says. He likened it to a grandmother’s cooking. “It was so good because there was so much love in it.”

He studied at the Culinary Institute of America in New York City and then worked for the best chefs he could find. Ultimately he returned to Indiana University to finish that degree. He was close in two disciplines and chose psychology over physics with the thought of tying it to food. And he took business classes. Then came four years in the San Francisco area where he worked for “the hardest kitchens I could find, … kitchens that were chasing the stars.” It was stressful. And then, through a

cookbook, he discovered a rustic, simple way of approaching food and found beauty in it. “I can do this,” he thought. A return to the Midwest, with a stop in Chicago for a while, led him to Traders Point Creamery in Zionsville four years ago. This organic legend that started with grass-fed dairy cows and award-winning cheeses less than 15 years ago has become an all-around superstar in healthy, organic, sustainable dining. The Loft restaurant, which opened in 2006 to offer “the very best from the farm,” has been continually upping its own ante for a decade now, fusing a growing variety of organically-grown foods with top chef know-how. Canfield’s joy in his surroundings is evident as he speaks of “corn and tomatoes like my grandfather grew” right outside his door. The Traders Point farm, now more than 400 acres, provides a healthy percentage of the restaurant’s fare – freshly-picked produce, grass-fed dairy products from milk to beef, whey-fed pork, pastured chicken and eggs. “We respect everything that goes on here,” Canfield says. “We bring the outside in. The restaurant is the showcase for all that is Traders Point. The food itself is happy.” A big part of the restaurant’s success, he claims, is the staff. “Without the people, your product’s not going to be good,” he says. His training – he calls it “coaching” – helps create what he calls “a choreographed ballet.” “My biggest joy is when it’s busy. A lot of people, a din in the restaurant, a symphony of noise in the dining room, a hush in the kitchen. It’s a huge ballet.”

Ambarish Lulay Purdue University Chef Ambarish Lulay is on a mission. After years of study and award-winning work on several continents, he finds himself wanting – perhaps even needing – to share his world. So after creating a culinary arts program at Kendall College in Illinois, he’s now a faculty member in Purdue’s School of Hospitality and Tourism Management. It’s one of the best in the country. Lulay grew up in India with mostly vegetarian meals, many prepared by his grandmothers. “We ate home-cooked meals,” he said. “There was always the wonderful smell of food around. It’s a social, communal sort of thing.”

A pleasant surprise in Amish country for 45 years 1971, frst year of

business

Te Essen haus toda y

he history of the Essenhaus is a story of growth, commitment and genuine hospitality. In 1970, Bob and Sue Miller moved west from Sugarcreek, Ohio to Middlebury, Indiana. Afer arriving in Middlebury the Millers purchased property on U.S. 20, a 24-hour truck stop known as Everett’s Highway Inn. Afer a week of minor repairs and cleaning, they opened as Das Dutchman Essenhaus on January 4, 1971, six days a week as an Amish-Style restaurant, complete with Amish & Mennonite cooks and waitstaf. Bob remembers some local skepticism about the survival of their venture without the cigarette machines and Sunday trade. However, despite the odds, the Millers were committed to pursue their dream of establishing a solid business within one year, and they did.

• 60 gallons of apple butter • 3.5 tons of potatoes IN 1 WEEK, THE RESTAURANT & BAKERY • 3,600 chickens MAY USE UP TO: • 3,090 lbs. of roast beef • 2,100 dozen eggs • 2,990 heads of lettuce • 2,700 lbs. of sugar • 5,225 lbs. of ice

Much has changed since the early 70’s. Bob ob and Sue hav have witnessed their children and grandchildren develop an interest in the organization. Some of them are involved in the daily operations and strive to continue the traditions of the family-owned company. Te restaurant, fagship of the campus, has grown from 120 seats to 1,000, and is considered the largest family restaurant in Indiana. Te Millers have continued to expand their business by adding the Essenhaus Inn & Conference Center, gif shops, bakery, miniature golf, catering, wholesale foods and live theatre and concerts at Heritage Hall.

THE VILLAGE SHOPS

are located in original Amish farm buildings from the early 1900’s. THE INN & CONFERENCE CENTER

required 31 miles of electrical wiring and 5.5 acres of drywall.

First things first—you’ll need a place to stay. Bloomington’s “urban oasis,” the Grant Street Inn (grantstinn.com) managed by CFC Properties welcomes guests in luxury style at the forwardthinking Inn, with cozy facilities capable of accommodating parties of any size. “Grant Street Inn has all the amenities of a larger hotel, but offers more personalized touches, such as, afternoon baked goods in the lobby with coffee and tea, and a full hot breakfast served every morning,” said general manager Paul Wagoner. Several of the property’s 40 room choices have access to wraparound porches where guests can relax and unwind with a glass of wine in the evenings. Groups wanting to re-live their sorority or dormitory days may also be able to reserve an entire wing or building for themselves; the Inn periodically offers specials, so be sure to check out their website ahead of time as well. “We’re nestled in a residential neighborhood, but central to downtown and Indiana University, making this a private, fun getaway spot,” Wagoner mentioned.

Paintings by legendary Hoosier impressionist artist T.C. Steele will be on display at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center. To celebrate Indiana’s Bicentennial, the History Center is honoring Steele by exhibiting 43 paintings of his work from private collections – some which have never been seen by the public – in a new exhibit, Indiana Impressions: The Art of T.C. Steele. T.C. Steele was born Theodore Clement Steele on Sept. 11, 1847, in Owen County. He died July 24, 1926. He was the most famous of the “Hoosier Group” of impressionist painters and a major figure in the international art world. Steele was a sought-after portrait painter, but landscapes were his passion. He was concerned with capturing the proper light and color of an autumn landscape. He spent summers and autumns in the country so that he could work on his landscapes and bring Indiana to life on canvas. Steele bought a “studio wagon” so he and his family could travel the countryside with ease while he painted.

He gained national recognition in the 1890s, but his wife’s death in 1899 led him to focus solely on landscapes. He purchased 200 acres of wooded area in Brown County and spent his days at “The House of the Singing Winds,” painting the majestic beauty of the rural land. During his lengthy career, Steele taught, opened his own art school in Indianapolis, and expanded the boundaries of impressionist painting. His passion and insatiable thirst for knowledge led to his astonishing works of art that capture the beauty of Indiana. Also in honor of Steele, the Indiana Historical Society will host a Storytelling Arts presentation of a commissioned piece about Steele’s life by Lou Ann Homan at the Frank and Katrina Basile Theater at the History Center. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. IHS members may pay the advance price at the door.

The home and studio of T.C. Steele, “House of the Singing Winds,” located in Brown County, is available for daily tours; go to tcsteele.org for hours and directions.

Hoosiers will be introduced to a special body of artwork this year during the 200 Years of Indiana Art: A Cultural Legacy exhibition, now through October 2 at the Indiana State Museum. The exhibit will be comprised of more than 100 two- and threedimensional works of art by important early Indiana artists will provide a historical perspective. Additional works include modern and contemporary pieces illustrating the development of the visual arts in Indiana, showcasing the immense talent and diversity associated with the state. “The Indiana State Museum is delighted to host this important exhibition showcasing the tremendous artistic talent associated with the state. Working with artists, collectors and institutions statewide, we’ve assembled a collection of works that illustrate the evolution and influence of the visual arts throughout our 200year history,” said Mark Ruschman, chief curator of fine art. Presented in chronological order, the NiSource display will include paintings by noted early Indiana Pioneer Painters [19th century] George

Winter, Jacob Cox and Marcus Mote. Moving forward, T.C. Steele and his fellow Hoosier Group will be prominently featured alongside other important artists from across the state. Additional works by Janet Scudder, William Edouard Scott, Ada Shulz, Susan McCord, Frank Hohenberger and their contemporaries, will be included. The Ford Gallery will feature works from the 1930’s until present day including Robert Indiana, Alma Eikerman, David Smith, Kay Rosen and Richard Peeler. The exhibition will reflect the state’s changing population and ethnic diversity. In addition to traditional two- and three-dimensional works in the galleries, new media, including video projection, site-specific and installation-based works will be featured in the museum’s public areas and on the museum grounds. “Among our many offerings, we are thrilled to host Anila Agha’s 2014 ArtPrize winning gallery installation Intersections. It will be the first time the piece has been shown in Indiana since winning the international art competition’s top honor. We’ve constructed a custom gallery on the first floor to accommodate the piece.” added Ruschman. The exhibit is a signature project of the Indiana Bicentennial Commission with support from the Indiana Arts Commission, additional funding is provided by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Arts Council of Indianapolis and the City of Indianapolis. The exhibition is included with museum admission. The public installations are on view free to the public.

their children. The family personifies the company tag line: Work Hard. Get Dirty. Use Good Soap. Working hard and getting dirty has led the Jonas family to clean up in the soap-making business. When the children were young — Brett, the oldest, is now 18 — PJ was concerned about ingredients in commercial soaps she used to bathe her children. “My wife has never met a problem that couldn’t be solved,” Jim says. So PJ set out to find a solution, making her own soap from goat milk.

A BIG MOVE

Working hard and getting dirty has led the Jonas family to clean up in the soap-making business.

traveliN SPRING 2016

In 1996, the first of their eight children arrived, and Jim was pursuing a teaching career. After stints as a science teacher in Virginia and New Jersey, Jim moved his family to Indiana in 2004, prompted by the fact the state was home-school friendly and had an affordable cost of living. With his seven years of teaching experience, Jim expected to be hired immediately. But that was not the case. “We came out here, but didn’t hear anything,” he recalls. Meanwhile, PJ focused on the family. “When you don’t have a house, you don’t have a job, and you don’t have friends, the basis to our life was homeschooling. Everything revolved around the children,” she says. Jim eventually took a job as a trash collector, which unexpectedly gave him more time at home. They bought a house in Scott County and set about paying off debts quickly. “We could not have done what we did with Goat Milk Stuff had we not done that,” PJ says. “We lived incredibly below our means.” The frugal lifestyle meant making soap, growing and canning produce, and raising chickens for their eggs. It also meant dabbling in a small business selling homemade soap at craft shows. An early key to the growth of the business came with samples given out at craft shows. “Everyone who came by got a sample and a business card,” describes PJ. After the show, “I started hearing from people who had gotten the sample,” she said. “They wanted to know how they could buy more soap.” In 2008, Goat Milk Stuff officially launched with early sales driven by customers who claimed the goat milk soap healed their eczema. Word began to spread. Jim went full-time with the business in 2009, and with everyone pitching in, the work has paid off. Their herd of milk goats has expanded from two in 2008 to 67 goats they bred this year—up from 40 last year—and one hundred babies are expected in Spring of 2016. PJ says they’ve tried working with several breeds, but focus on Alpine dairy goats, a breed originating in the French Alps, known for heavy milk production.

FAST GROWING COMPANY

traveliN SPRING 2016

Internet sales were slow at first, but by 2010 they surpassed craft show profits. The business leans on a social media presence to market the farm, using Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter and YouTube. Media attention, from Midwest network television affiliates, to O, the Oprah Magazine, have expanded the exposure. And the farm itself is growing too. The property, which was an empty field when they bought it, now boasts a new house and three large outbuildings. Plans for 2016 involve the farm becoming more of a destination for group tours and retail sales. The introduction of new food items is paving the way. Caramels (an idea spearheaded by 15-year-old Emery) and other sweets, along with pasteurized goat milk, raw goat milk, drinkable yogurt and soft goat cheeses, frame the new product lines. “With many people lactose intolerant, or allergic to dairy products, goat’s milk is a healthy alternative, easier to digest,” PJ says. The tours will let visitors see the goats, show how food is made and educate on sustainable, natural farming practices. As the family’s work evolves and the business grows, the kids — human ones, that is — are key to future success. PJ says her children are involved at every level of the business and their schooling is integrated into their work. “We’ve raised them all to be thinkers and leaders,” she says. “If they want to try something, we give them free rein to try.”

And he believes he found the best growing conditions possible in a new wine locale. Pfeiffer acknowledges he’s different, and perhaps a bit intense. His mind is a whir to answer the continual “why’s” that intrigue him, so he’s always researching something or other. He’s studied topics as seemingly unrelated as the psychology of taste, chemistry of nutrition, birth order, taste buds, personality traits, even career mapping – all in connection with wine. And following that European way of winemaking that longago professor touted, he’s researched the effects of different sugars – glucose vs. fructose vs. sucrose – in wines. Espousing that plan himself, he adds no sugar. Pfeiffer also offers wine appreciation classes, where he shares his ideas.

Salt Creek Brewery One of the most unique breweries in the state

Called “one of the most unique breweries in the state”, you won’t want to miss this Lawrence County establishment just off State Road 37, between Bloomington and Bedford. Salt Creek Brewery fits the description of a British pub atmosphere. Housed in a restored 1940s service station, whet your whistle with award-winning beers, three different types of craft sodas and a large selection of wine and spirits in an atmosphere second-to-none. The brew pub still reflects that of the working garage and

body shop it once was. The brewery sits in, what was, the alignment oil change pit, and the bar is situated in the former service bay areas. Beers coolers now occupy where the old paint room was, and the restrooms are the original walls of the first generation building. Featuring live music on most weekends, and food from the Inside Gear Heads Grille, it’s a family-friendly gathering stop. And don’t miss cold, carry-out growlers on Sunday, and recently added, fine cigars and pipe tobacco for purchase.

Pub Etiquette: Definition Brittish Pubs Vs. American Bars

Salt Creek Brewery

A British pub must never be confused with an American bar. Pubs are an important part of the life and culture in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The word “pub” comes from “public house.” In older times, the term signified someone’s house that had been opened to the public. A pub is truly the neighborhood’s living room. It’s an everyday party for the neighborhood, and your welcome is a bit warmer than in an American bar. The owner or operator is referred to by various names: host, publican, landlord and governor. He often lives on the premises.

of a PUB

Ordering There is no table service in English pubs. Order and pay at the bar. The barman or barmaid is very aware whose turn is next. Signal your readiness to make a purchase by holding money in your hand. You will be waited upon in turn. All purchases are in cash. Not many pubs take credit cards. If you are seated at a table, it is customary for one or two persons to make the trip to the bar on behalf of the entire table.
