From the event organizer:
Dear Friend,
You are invited on Friday, December 20, 2013 to spend a day honoring the innovation that has built and is still growing South Bend.
As a community, we honor our past that relentlessly pursued the innovative spirit that built our community and embodied the name Studebaker. Fifty years ago on December 20th the lights turned off on the last Studebaker facility. However, the hard work and craftsmanship that thrived in those plants live on.
From 10:00 am to 4:30 pm, Union Station Technology Center is opening Ivy Tower (Building 84) for guided tours. The Studebaker Driver’s Club will offer special tours, with Studebaker retiree guides starting at 2:30 pm. The Studebaker Administration Building will also be available for tours from 12:00 pm to 4:30 pm. All tours will start from 635 S. Lafayette Street in South Bend. With the existing development plans, this could be one of the last times that the facility will be open for tours in its original state.
At 5:00 pm in Union Station’s grand hall, we will host an event to spotlight South Bend’s innovation. Specifically, the program will honor former Studebaker retirees, highlight current innovation in our community and point to innovation of the future.
Shortly after 6:00 pm, please join us outside Union Station, near Coveleski Stadium and throughout downtown to see our City spotlighted, demonstrating that the light of innovation that sparked our community remains on and bright today.
You are also encouraged to visit the Studebaker National Museum (free admission that day), the South Bend Museum of Art, and other downtown South Bend activities. All of the events are showcased in the attached flyer.

Quintessential Barrington : The Greatest Gateway Gala 2018 presented by Staci...Stacie Stephenson
GATEWAY FOR CANCER RESEARCH invites you to “The Greatest Gateway”—Chicago’s star-studded cures gala that will “come alive” to celebrate 27 years of Gateway-funded groundbreaking clinical cancer research trials. “Our mission instills a sense of urgency to accelerate the
pace of cancer research,” Gateway President Teresa Hall Bartels said. “Our dedication to investing in novel patient-centric approaches, combined with the increasing rate of treatment advances leads us to believe that together we can conquer cancer in our lifetime.” Richard J Stephenson, Cancer Treatment Centers of America and Gateway for Cancer Research (Gateway) Founder and Chairman, and Dr.
Stacie J. Stephenson, CTCA Chairman Functional Medicine and member of the Gateway Board of Directors, announce an evening to amaze you— “The Greatest Gateway”—benefitting Gateway, a non-profit organization “The Greatest Gateway” Gala on October 20, 2018 dedicated to funding transformational cancer research. All proceeds from “The Greatest Gateway” will support Gateway Phase I and Phase II trials across cancer types including breast, blood, and lung cancers.
Inspired by the magic and wonder of the Oscar-nominated film
“The Greatest Showman”, the annual Chicago Cures Gala will be held on Saturday, October 20, 2018 at the Sheraton Grand Chicago, 301 East North Water Street, Chicago. Cocktail hour begins at 5 p.m. followed by The Main Event at 6 p.m. Presenting sponsors Richard J Stephenson and Dr. Stacie J.Stephenson will celebrate another year of Gateway-funded breakthrough clinical cancer research trials at institutions across the world.
The SHPD SWAT Bike Team has raised $50,000 over 8 years for multiple sclerosis research by participating in annual bike tours. They started with 4 cyclists raising $3,000 by biking 50 miles and have grown to 10 cyclists raising $10,000 by biking 150 miles last year. Multiple sclerosis is a chronic neurological disease that affects over 250,000 Americans by attacking the central nervous system. The annual MS Bike Tour that the team participates in has raised over $45 million nationally for research and treatment.
This article summarizes three local restaurants - Matsu Japanese Restaurant, Chez Mozell, and Fairmount Circle Gourmet - that offer alternatives to traditional winter fare for holiday celebrations. Matsu is owned by Korean couple Scott and Brenda Kim and specializes in fresh seafood and Japanese dishes prepared in various styles. Chez Mozell is owned by Mozell Devereaux and serves Creole and Cajun cooking inspired by her grandmother's Louisiana recipes. Fairmount Circle Gourmet, owned by Sue Sherwin, provides take-out meals, catering, and gourmet groceries for home entertaining. All three restaurants aim to provide flavorful options and high quality service for local patrons.
Rob Emrich lost two family members to cancer and founded the Road of Life organization with friends to raise funds for cancer research through physical fitness initiatives. Their first event is a 312 mile walk from Cincinnati to Cleveland along bike paths and roads to raise $31,200. The organization aims to expand nationally and internationally, with future plans including a walk along the Pan-American Highway from Alaska to Argentina to spread their anti-cancer message further.
Over 100 people viewed a Matisse exhibit on Sunday at the University of Florida. The exhibit, from the Cone Collection, featured 50 lithographs and 6 bronzes from 1903 to 1925 showing Matisse's dreamlike world. Richard Carpenter, director of the Weatherspoon Art Gallery, described Matisse's works as having a juxtaposition of old and new styles and presenting separate artistic parts as a cohesive whole, aimed at visual pleasure rather than illustration. The exhibition highlighted Matisse's daring works from his time as one of "The Wild Men of Paris" and showed figures in leisurely domestic settings rather than with passionate expressions.
The Partnership for a Healthy Community was created in 1999 by community leaders in Brecksville and Broadview Heights to promote conversations about qualities essential for a healthy community. The Partnership discusses a different "Word of the Month" at events and hopes to get community members discussing these important concepts. Examples of words include respect, bravery, wisdom and compassion. The Partnership brings together educators, clergy, and city officials to have meaningful discussions and keep the community aware of important issues through regular conversations.
The new Beachwood Community Center was designed to foster community spirit. The 14,500 square foot building blends modern and warm aesthetics. It contains flexible community rooms, art gallery space, kitchens, and outdoor courtyards to accommodate a variety of programs for people of all ages. The goal of the new community center is to provide a place for learning, socializing, and bringing residents together.

5. Harvest time provides;flo od Jor thought
Now the chilly days are here to stay awhil", or.r, thoughts inevitably turn to
Thanksgiving, America's harvest festival, and perhaps our most poignant tradition,
where we all can share in the celebration of autumn's bounty as we prepare for the
winter ahead.
We have a trio of seasonal stories in this issue of Shaker L{e. Our writers have
found artists who create unique, hand-crafted gifts for the holidays and chefs who
help hosts prepare plates for the plenty (and who have kindly provided us with their or,r,n
favorite recipes). Atrd, remember, there's no better place to find fresh produce than
the North Union Farmers Market at Shaker Square (see page 20). If you haven't
visited for a while, the market is bigger than ever, selling not only fresh foods but arts,
crafts, wreaths and other timely offerings.
For those who like to say "Thank You" to their loved ones with special gfts,
don't forget to shop locally this holiday season. Shaker has an array of eclectic shops
and boutiques or visit the Duck Pond Gift Shop at the Nature Center and the Shaker
Historical Museum's Spirit Tlee store to both buy unique gifts and help support our
Iocal institutions.
Finally, one of the things that makes me most thankful is the community spirit
here in Shaker. What keeps Shaker Lfe magazine vibrant is being able to write about
people who give to our community as artists, philanthropists and business leaders,
who are inspiring teachers and caring doctors, pioneers in science, tireless volunteers
and involved parents. And we have a workforce second-to-none who provide top-notch
City programs. Our thanks to you!

Roads and Railways
Shaker Towne Centre Streetscaping Update
Construction for the narro*i^g of Chagrin Boulevard at Shaker Toume Centre and the
insertion of a road connecting Chagrin and Van Aken boulevards (to be knornm as Center
Street) should begin in the spring. The project will go out to bid this fall.
During the redesig!, which is part of the $33-million Shaker Toume Centre revital-ization
program, Chagin Boulevard will be reconfigured to three lanes and will feature
head-in on-street parking on the south side. Plans for a revitalized shopping center
include an ayray of new stores and an updated faEade. The pedestrian-friendly design,
u'hich includes new trees, decorative streetlights, benches, functional public art and
plantings, will have a four-seasons theme and incorporate a gistmill sculpture created by
Stephen Manka (see story page 10). The projected completion date is December 2004.
Sussex Courts Streetscaping Completed
After a summer of roadwork, the streetscaping adjacent to the Sussex Courts develop-ment
on Chagrin Boulevard is receiving its finishing touches: Victorian style streetlamps,
brick paving, trees, benches and on-street parking. The traffic lights have been relocated
to facilitate flow at the intersection and new road markings are in place.
Snow Plow Program Outlined
The City's fleet of snow plows and salt spreaders is well prepared for winter weather.
Crews will start removing snow as soon as streets become covered and residents are
asked not to park their cars in the street when snow reaches a depth of 2 in. or more.
Both traffic volume and usage determine the order in which streets are plowed by
safety services: Major roads that provide access for emergenry vehicles, hazardous

Gristmill Design Wins
Shaker Towne Centre Art Contest
Shaker High Eaduate and Cleveland
urban designer Stephen Manka,
32, won this summer's Shaker
Toume Centre Gateway Art Design
competition. The contest sought
designs for a |7}-foot-long signature
art wall to line ChaEin Boulevard
between Avalon and Lee roads as
part of the $33 million renovation
of Shaker Toume Centre.
The design, based on the Eist-mill
once used by Shaker's found-ing
society, features a succession of
giant stones atop metal footings,
allowing tall gass to gow beneath. "Glyphs" on the stones will tell the mill's story.
"Being i graduate of Shaker schools, I thouglrt it would be an interesting departure to
revisiithis part of our past. Because the mill isn't doing work an)'rnore' though, I
wanted to grve it a new role - a sort of whimsical and story-telling one," Manka said.
A locati,on is being sought for the runner-uP design, "Tall Metal Rods" by
Christopher Diehl.

Winterizing Your Home
As leaves Jall to the ground and days start to
become chilly, it's time to put awql the garden
Jurniture and turn our attention to Protectin7
our homesfom the worst oJthe winter elements.
Here Shaker resident Jim LaRue oJ The
Housemender, Inc., provides some home
winterizing tips Jor homeowners.
#,,ffi How do I keep my house
3@ffiffi warm and my utiliy bills lower
in winter?
ffi The cheapest and most effective
dJffi*way to keep warm air inside the
house is to find all the places where it is
escaping (usually through holes in attics
and lealy duct work outside the heated
areas). Blocking these holes can cost
pennies; replacing windows (the least
cost-effective measure) will not do nearly
as much. Remember, cold air only enters
if warm air is escaping. Blowing insula-tion
into your side walls is also very
cost-e{fective as it stops air movement
within the walls as it insulates. The next
best place to insulate is the attic (which
you could do yourself). Make sure your
furnace is in good working order. Make
sure any filters are clean (replace them
if they are not), the thermostat and
pilot light are working and that the pipes
are not loose or leaking.
#T]ffi Are newer heating systems more
"'@ffiffiffi fficient?
ffi Yes, older systems can be rep.laced
,#l'ffi-wittr new, cost- and energt-efficient
ones, and the expense can give a payback
in energr savings in just a few years. It
would be best not to do this until the air
sealing and insulation have been upgaded,
so your new heating system will be sized
properly based on your weatherization
work.
ffi , neld a permit for a new
?o
w*"i€q#"1urnace!
*ffi Yes, a permit is required and all
#'m contractors are required to be reg-istered
with the Cityr Once installed, the
new system needs to be inspected. It is
the responsibility of the contractor or

increased mold levels from retained
moisture and fumes from household
chemicals, cannot readily escape. To
avoid these hazards, install kitchen and
bathroom fans to exhaust moisture and
air fiom gas ranges and make sure furnace
and hot water tank chimneys are kept
clear (a certified chimney sweep can do
this). Carbon monoxide detectors are
another safety measure (especially in
sleeping areas). Never use unvented gas
heating equipment!
,,, ",.li,", What obout outside the house?
.,:'::::?:'
,:. Clean out the gutters. When rain-
: ',;' rnater backs "fr tn. frozen water
causes the gutters to expand and crack.
-lso, check for leaky gutters and seal with
silicone or gutter caulk if necessary.
Pools, fountains, and sprinkler systems
need to be closed dornrr. Hoses need to
be disconnected and outside faucets
closed. Check steps and handrails for
safe$; they can become dangerous when
cor-ered with snow and ice. Winter
storms, snow and ice weaken trees, so
trim trees and remove dead branches that
could fall and injure people or cause
property damage.
Winter is here and your boiler, "the beast", requires more and
more of your time and attention. Adding water in the morning
and rechecking levels in the evening. It was OK at first but now
it's a chore. But what about your family's safety, let alone your
time and your boiler's efficiency and reliability. Don't Wait.
Have it checked today. Call the boiler experts at:

10. THE BATTLE OF
SHAKER HEIGHTS
Tben reviewer wrongles with o not-so-hometown movie
BY MATT HERZFELD
"The Battle of Shaker Heights," the new
winner of the Ben AfflecldMatt Damon
contest and TV show "Project Greenlight,"
which gives amateur filmmakers the chance
to make a movie with a one-million-dollar
budget, is a confused mess. It has no real
sense of what it wants to be. The comedy
falls flat throughout much of the film, the
drama doesn't play very well, and whatever
semblance there is of a plot is confusing,
which ,""-. strange considering how uno-riginal
and plain it is.
One would think that a movie with a
title like "The Batde of Shaker Heights"
might have something to do with the city it
is named after. This is not the case. There
is absolutely no Shaker connection to this
movie whatsoever. The writer is not from
Shaker, the producers have never been here,
and no one involved in the film made any
real attempt to figure out what attracted
them to Shaker in the first place. Now, I'm
not going to attack this film for all the
Shaker inaccuracies, although they abound.
I understand that the filmmakers really
don't care. If they want to make Shaker look
like an all-white, rich, snotty community,
then that's their First Amendment right.
The catch, however, is that if a film has
the name of a city in its tide, the city should
be a character in the film. The film should
reflect that city, or whatever the filmmaker's
view of that city happens to be. "The Battle
of Shaker Heights" has no sense of setting.
Shaker is not a character, and as a result the
film loses any real sense of atmosphere.
There is no consistent tone or Shaker feeling
throughout the movie. Contrast this with
the other Cleveland film of the year,
"American Splendor," in which Harvey
Pekar's world is turned into the dreary and
depressing ghettos of Cleveland. Shaker means
nothing in "The Battle of Shaker Heights."
The filmmakers didn't take the time to
really develop anlrthing about this film.
Fault could lie in several areas. It may be
that the directors, Kyle Rankin and Efram
Potelle, lacked skill, as the "Project
Greenlight" series implies. It may be that
Erica Beeney's screenplay could have used
some more revision. Or it could be that
Miramax and the film's producers ruined a
good script by tryng to make it marketable.
In the end, it doesn't really matter. The
audience is left with a movie that isn't good
enough to be good but isn't bad enough to
be funryi
The one saving grace of the film is Shia
LaBeouf who as the World War II re-enactor
Kelly, has a certain sweebtess and personality
that just isn't easy to come by. However, as
great as Shia is, he isn't enough to save a
bad movie. The film just doesn't work. Don't
see this movie just because of the Shaker
connection. If you want to support local
filmmaking or feel pride in your hometovtm,
go see the other Cleveland movie, "American
Splendor." Or better yet, support local
Cleveland filmmakers by keeping tabs on
showings of their work through venues such
as the Cleveland International Film Festival
and the Cleveland Cinematheque, which both
often feature local films. The filmmakers
didn't win "The Battle of Shaker Heights."

High School.

11. Young Photographer
Tokes to the Road
Mercer resident Ben Hauser, 18, had
an interesting project his senior year
at University School: Inspired by rural
documentary photographers, he
decided to follow in their footsteps -
literally - by documenting roadside
scenes of the Deep South. Last
October, he spent five days in Alabama
retracing the trail of photographer
William Christenberry and updating
photographs Christenberry had taken
for his book, Southern ?hotographs.
Christenberry's photographs were
taken over a period of time ending in
1981. Christenberry himself was
inspired by another photogapher -
Walker Evans - who documented the
South in the 1930s.
"I had kept looking at the book and
was really captivated and inspired by
it," Hauser says of Christenberry's
work. All the men's pictures are
poignant reminders of the march of
modernity and its impact on rural life.
Hauser, whose project was funded
by a Strnad Grant, flew to Washington,
D.C., to meet Christenberry, who
teaches at the Corcoran School of
Arts. This fall, Hauser is headed to
Ohio Universiry to study art, with a
specialization in fine art photogaphy.
