This has been a rough summer on lawns - plenty of crabgrass and not
enough rain. Bluegrass can go 3-4 weeks without water in a dormant stage
but some watering may prevent the grass from going from a dormant stage
to complete dying. Now is the time to take action to pull your lawn
through this rough time to assure a good lawn next year. Fall is the
best time to fertilize, either once or twice. Most of the nutrients are
stored in the roots for next year.
The best time to sow grass seed is mid-August to mid -September.
Perennial broadleaf weeds are best attacked in the fall when the
chemicals are more likely to kill the roots. Fall is also a good time
to core aerate if your lawn is compacted, consists mostly of clay soil,
or if thatch is a problem.
The class will also cover crabgrass control, grub control, as well as
methods to determine how much fertilizer to apply and when to apply.
Participants will receive many good handouts. |

The JCC announces the opening of a new exhibit by artist Phil O’Malley
on Tuesday, September 7, at the Arthur M. Glick JCC, 6701 Hoover Road.
The exhibit runs through October 22 and is free and open to the public
during regular building hours.
Art is Phil O’Malley’s response to his human experiences. While some
paintings have aggressive players where shapes and colors jockey for the
front position, others are more reserved—they stand quietly instead of
dancing on the walls. Phil may not always know where he’s heading while
creating his art, but he always knows how to get there.
O’Malley graduated with a BFA in Fine Arts from Herron School of Art and
Design. He is creator and art director of Somethin’ to Crow About, a
children’s book in collaboration with Lois Main Templeton.
Opening Reception

The James Jensen Memorial Run – an annual motorcycle trek that takes
bikers from eastside Indianapolis through Brown County, the Hoosier
National Forest, and back north to Greenwood – hits the road for the
eleventh consecutive year on Saturday, September 18. The ride benefits
the James Jensen Memorial Scholarship Program, established by Mr.
Jensen’s son, Larry, a southside Indianapolis resident. The program
provides education for seminary students at the Theological Seminary in
Quito, Ecuador. The elder Mr. Jensen and his wife, Frances, served as
lay missionaries in Quito for several years following his retirement
from the U.S. Army. He died on June 26, 2000. The first James Jensen
Memorial Run was held in September of that same year, a tribute to the
life he led and his love of motorcycling. Registration for the 11th
annual run begins at 9 am at First Church of the Nazarene, 9401 East
25th Street, just east of 25th Street and Post Road. Free homemade
cinnamon rolls, coffee and juice will be provided during registration.
The ride begins at 10 am and ends around 5 pm. The finish line is
Greenwood’s Southland Community Church, which will provide a free dinner
to all riders at the run’s conclusion. For 2010, event organizer Larry
Jensen has set an ambitious goal: 100 riders. “We’ve been extremely
fortunate to have a core group that has supported this ride since its
inaugural year,” said Jensen, owner of an advertising and graphic design
firm and avid motorcyclist. “After talking with many of these riders,
we’ve decided to take things up a notch this year and discover
exactly how much we can raise for the scholarship fund.”
He emphasized that 100 percent of rider contributions will benefit the
program and all donations are
tax deductible |

The Indiana Natural Resources Foundation has received a $17,500 grant
from the Ball Brothers Foundation to support the Hoosier Outdoor
Experience, a free-to-the-public event at Fort Harrison State Park in
Indianapolis, Sept. 18 and 19.
This is the second year the Ball Brothers Foundation has helped
underwrite the event. During last year’s inaugural Hoosier Outdoor
Experience, 13,300 children and adults got connected to Indiana’s great
outdoors through hands-on opportunities to try more than 50 outdoors
activities.
The Ball Brothers Foundation’s grant program focuses on six broad
subject areas: education, arts, culture and humanities, human services,
public/society benefit, health and environment. The Foundation,
established in 1926 as an independent, private, family philanthropic
organization, is an outgrowth of business successes of the five Ball
brothers and their descendents.
“The Ball Brothers Foundation is excited to renew our investment in the
Hoosier Outdoor Experience,” said Jud Fisher, executive director and COO
of Ball Brothers Foundation. “This program brings together three
priorities of the Ball family: education, health and the environment in
a free, active, hands-on way. It’s a great program for Indiana and we
are honored to be a part of it in 2010.”
Presented by the DNR and the Indiana Natural Resources Foundation, the
Hoosier Outdoor Experience is an opportunity for aspiring outdoor
enthusiasts to experience the range of recreational opportunities
available across Indiana in an interactive fashion.
“Numerous studies demonstrate that interaction with nature has a
positive impact on every stage of childhood development,” said Bourke
Patton, executive director of the Indiana Natural Resources Foundation.
“Thanks to the Ball Brothers Foundation’s support, the Hoosier Outdoor
Experience will be able to share the great outdoors and environmental
stewardship to people from across Indiana in an immersive, educating,
inspiring and fun way.”

The second annual Hoosier Outdoor Experience is looking for volunteers.
The event is Sept. 18-19 at Fort Harrison State Park in Indianapolis.
The goal of the Hoosier Outdoor Experience is to introduce people to
outdoor activities they may have never tried. During last year’s
inaugural free event, it was hard to tell who had a better time,
participants or volunteers. Some 13,300 children and adults enjoyed
hands-on tries at more than 50 outdoor activities.
If you already enjoy outdoor sports and recreation and want to help
others learn to enjoy them as much as you do, sign up to volunteer at
http://www.in.gov/dnr/5412.htm.
Activities will be organized in six stations: aquatics, cultural,
equestrian, outdoors, shooting sports and wildlife. Shuttles will take
participants from station to station.
You can designate the activity with which you wish to work. Activities
needing volunteers include kayaking/canoeing, bowfishing, fishing,
shotgun, rifle, archery, mock archaeological dig, Jeep rides, disc golf,
road bicycling, ATV rides and jet boat rides. Shifts are four hours
each.
If you are member of an official activity provider organization of the
event and want to volunteer, use the “DNR approved activity provider”
link at http://www.in.gov/dnr/5412.htm. If you are unsure if the group
to which you belong is a provider organization for the Hoosier Outdoor
Experience, check HoosierOutdoorExperience.IN.gov or contact
OutdoorExperience @dnr.in.gov or (317) 233-1002.
Parking, admission, activities, demonstrations and seminars at the
Hoosier Outdoor Experience are free to the public, but online
registration of participants is requested to assist with
planning/staffing of activities. To register to attend as a participant,
go to HoosierOutdoorExperience.IN.gov and click on the orange
registration icon. Watch there for event updates or on Facebook at

call of the wild behind the Bengals, Savannahs and Toygers, there is cat
appeal for almost everyone. Join us to see some of this show season’s
finest cats and kittens in action and help support feline education,

September’s the time for Hoosier history buffs—and others who want to
broaden their horizons—to learn about archaeological sites and
artifacts, make stone tools and talk with archaeologists.
That’s because it’s Indiana Archaeology Month.
Gov. Mitch Daniels has proclaimed Sept. 1 as Indiana Archaeology Month
Kick-off Day.
This year’s slogan, “Archaeology Rocks,” is a play on words in several
ways. It conveys the excitement of archaeology and what can be learned
through the science. The commemorative poster design this year features
an interesting array of prehistoric stone artifacts, all found in
Indiana.
Years of archaeological investigations have helped state residents
understand the complexity of the prehistoric and historic people who
also called this land home.
“Archaeology tells us not only about the past but sheds light about
ourselves today and our future,” said Robert E. Carter Jr., DNR
director. “Archaeology Month provides a perfect way for Hoosiers to
learn how with programs that are not only educational and informative
but also fun.”
In honor of this celebration, the DNR invites Hoosiers to discover the
stories behind the facts of the state’s archaeological tale. For
instance, the state archaeologist works for the DNR. Also,
archaeologists have conducted investigations in Indiana since the early
1800s, finding and recording more than 59,000 archaeological sites.
Indiana Archaeology Month features events for all ages. For a schedule
and more information, see dnr.IN.gov/historic or contact Amy Johnson of
the DNR Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology,
ajohnson@dnr.IN.gov or (317) 232-1646. |

John Zwara at the Indiana Medical History Museum
This exhibit is free with regular museum admission.
Austrian-born water color painter, John Zwara, came to Indian-apolis
around 1933. Zwara spent several years living on the streets of the
city, selling his artwork in order to buy more painting supplies. A
friend of Zwara’s, Alexander Vonnegut, recognized that he needed
psychiatric help and had him committed to Central State Hospital in
1938. There he was diagnosed with dementia praecox (schizophrenia.)
Zwara spent six months at the hospital before his escape. He died a
pauper in 1951. This exhibit will feature many of his works that were
completed at Central State and will also highlight what little is known
of his fascinating life. www.imhm.org

It has been a choice, privilege and grace for photographer Denis Ryan
Kelly, Jr. to travel four continents of the world seeking out people of
prayer and places of special “holiness.” While a pilgrim in Israel,
Kelly sought rapport with people of all religious traditions. As a
practicing Roman Catholic, he seeks experiences of the Universal Holy
Spirit. Now Kelly attempts the spiritual via a multimedia exhibition of
large-format giclee photographs and audio recordings.

Holes by Louis Sachar at the Indiana Repertory Theatre
It’s been an award-winning book and a hit movie. Now see it onstage!
A lost treasure. A multi-generational curse. Racial injustice. And a
bizarre correctional facility where kids serve time digging holes in the
desert. Found guilty of a crime he didn’t commit, Stanley discovers more
than dirt as he digs – in this quirky comedy, he also finds new friends,
the power of perseverance and the truth about his family’s past. What
will he find at the bottom of the next hole? |

Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition at The Indiana State Museum
The State Museum debuts the exhibition with more than 240 artifacts
recovered from the Ship’s debris field. It offers visitors a poignant
look at the iconic vessel and its passengers.
People from around the world are enthralled with the beauty and tragedy
of the ill fated ocean liner that is the story of Titanic. The
Exhibition has been designed with a focus on the legendary Titanic’s
compelling human stories as best told through authentic artifacts and
extensive room re-creations. Perfume from a maker who was traveling to
New York to sell his samples, and china etched with the logo of the
elite White Star Line, even pieces of the Ship itself, these and many
other authentic objects offer haunting, emotional connections to lives
abruptly ended or forever altered. Upon entering the Exhibition, each
visitor will receive a replica boarding pass of an actual passenger
aboard the Ship. Visitors then begin their chronological journey through
the life of the Titanic, moving through the Ship’s construction, to life
on board, to the ill-fated sinking and amazing artifact rescue efforts.
They will marvel at the re-created first-class cabin and third-class
cabin and hallway, and press their palms against an iceberg while
learning of countless stories of heroism and humanity. One of the many
galleries will be dedicated to local connections, where visitors can
learn about how the sinking of the great Ship strongly resonated in
Indianapolis. In the “Memorial Gallery,” guests will take their boarding
pass to the memorial wall and discover whether their passenger and
traveling companions survived or perished.
Over the past 15 years, more than 22 million people have seen this
powerful exhibition in major museums worldwide. Tickets to the popular
exhibition can be purchased in August. |
Geocaching event co-sponsored by Indiana State Parks
Anyone with a trail GPS unit can compete in the Indiana Epic State Park
Challenge until May 2011, with a chance to win prizes.
The challenge involves finding a GPS hidden treasure box, called a
geocache, in each of 22 possible Indiana State Parks. The contest allows
Indiana residents and non-residents to enjoy the hidden treasures that
Indiana has tucked away in all corners of the state.
As co-sponsor, the Indiana DNR Division of State Parks and Reservoirs is
giving away two 2011 DNR Annual Passes. Cabela’s Outfitters is giving
away two $25 gift cards in a drawing of those who complete the challenge
by April 30, 2011.
To register to compete, visit www.geocaching.com and search for “Indiana
Epic State Park Challenge” or GC code “GC26VN9” if you have a free user
account. To complete the challenge, a competitor (or “geocacher”) must
find an already existing geocache in at least 22 state parks to be
eligible to find the challenge geocache.
The challenge geocache is located in central Indiana, within 15 miles of
downtown Indianapolis. Upon completion, each successful competitor must
provide verification of his or her finds to each respective cache owner.
Several ways to verify finds are listed on the Geocache Challenge Web
page, in addition to exact GPS coordinates to the final location.
Prizes come from the Division of State Parks and Reservoirs, Cabela’s
Outfitters of Hammond, and Indiana geocacher “IndyLovelace.”
While it’s free to play, regular State Parks and Reservoirs entrance
fees apply: $5 for Indiana residents and $7 for out-of-state residents
($10 out-of-state at Indiana Dunes State Park). Annual Entrance Passes
are also available.
Visitors can also apply to place a geocache on State Parks and Reservoir
properties by visiting the appropriate park office and consulting the
IDNR geocaching policy found at http://www.in.gov/dnr/parklake/2390.htm.
