Coloma celebrates local growthBy AMBROSIA NELDON

[email protected]

CO L O M A — F o r nearly five decades, the Glad-Peach

Festival has been the pride and joy of the Coloma community.

Originally a celebra-tion of the area’s home-grown gladiolus flowers, the festival expanded in the 1970s to include Coloma’s prospering peach crops. Organizers say between 15,000 and 20,000 people from all over Michiana flock to downtown Coloma each day of the three-and-a-half day festival to shop at craft booths, play fair games, watch street shows and frequent food booths.

“I grew up with the festival,” said Martin Quigley, director of the Run/Walk/Bike 5K and 10K races. “It really is a

hometown community family-friendly festival. You just don’t get bored with any of it.”

Quigley said he has participated in the festival in some way or another for the majority of his life, and each year the festival has been differ-ent.

“Each year we’re look-ing for different activities, different attractions. Last year we introduced the street movie downtown on Saturday night. This year it’s the bike show instead of the car show,” Quigley said, referring to the motorcycle show that will line the downtown Sunday.

The festival begins at 4 p.m. Thursday, July 31, with dollar night. Tickets are $1 each, and rides are one ticket apiece.

Friday, Miss Coloma and her court along with city and township offi-cials open the festival at 6:15 p.m.

“A youth parade fol-lows that grand opening on Friday evening. The kids from the area groups like 4-H and church groups put on a parade. Some will put together floats, and others will be on bicycles or walking, and they’ll all be part of the youth parade,” Quigley said.

Saturday morning, hundreds will participate in perhaps the highlight of the festival, the Coloma Glad-Peach 5K/10K Bike, Run and Walk.

“We’re expecting 600 participants this year. Following those events we have a fun run primar-ily for kids, but the adults can jump in there, too,” Quigley said.

A full list of events and activities can be found at ColomaPeachFest.com.

ST. JOSEPH—Need a summer boredom buster for your family

before the back-to-school crunch begins? St. Joseph, Michigan is hosting its 13th annual Chalk the Block July 31-Aug. 3.

Sponsored by Cook Nuclear Plant-Indiana Michigan Power, this free event brings in regional art-ists who create chalk mas-terpieces on Broad Street, between Lake Boulevard and State Street.

In keeping with the sidewalk theme, down-town merchants showcase sales merchandise outside and local organizations hold special walk-to events such as heritage walking tours, a farmers’ market, Antiques on the Bluff and free rides around the Victorian-era town in a horse-drawn trolley.

“This weekend cele-brates our sidewalk friendly city,” said Jill Stone, execu-tive director of St. Joseph Today. “Not only can you see awesome chalk art, fam-ilies can splash in Whirlpool Compass Fountain, jam to live music or catch a movie outdoors by Lake Michigan. Everything is free.”

Stone said it is also a good opportunity to view the city’s outdoor art exhib-it in downtown, “Shining Sculptures” that features artist-painted lighthouses.

In addition to viewing artists at work creating their chalk masterpieces, visitors to downtown St. Joseph can participate in a number of opportunities.

Beginning at 1 p.m.

Aug. 1, those interested can view historic St. Joseph on a one-hour tour. The Heritage Walking Tour begins at St. Joseph Today, located at 301 State St. Participants will visit a number of landmarks including the St. Joseph Savings and Loan Bank, Whitcomb Hotel and sev-eral Victorian-era homes.

Friday evening, the Van Dyke Revue will play in the John E.N. Howard Band Shell.

The Farmers’ Market will set up in Lake Bluff Park from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

Sunday, visitors can view and purchase antiques in the same park from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

St. Joseph Today is a member-based organization dedicated to developing and promoting events and busi-ness in St. Joseph, Mich. and its surrounding commu-nities. For more information about Chalk the Block or upcoming summer events, visit www.stjoetoday.com, www.facebook.com/stjoeto-day or call 269-985-1111.

SOUTH BEND—A working mother her-self, St. Joseph

County naturalist Amal Farrough understands how difficult it can be for par-ents to set aside time to spend with their children.

This dilemma was inspi-ration for a new series of programs hosted by St. Joseph County Parks in Indiana. Beginning Aug. 9 with a father-daughter canoeing trip, the parks committee will begin host-ing seasonal trips dedicated to parent-child interaction.

“A lot of us at the parks are parents ourselves. We’re aware that some-times we need a little bit of motivation to do something special with our child. We thought maybe this would give people a little bit of opportunity to get together with their child and do something they haven’t

done before, and give them a chance to bond a bit,” Farrough said.

Fathers and daughters will meet at St. Patrick’s County Park Aug. 9, where they will be shuttled by

park organizers to Tower Park, located on Riverside Drive in South Bend.

“At (Riverside) Park, we will launch into the river. It’s a four-and-a-half mile downstream trip back to St. Joseph’s County

Park. There’s an island about a third of the way along where we’ll provide a snack for all partici-pants,” Farrough said, add-ing that this is a good spot to watch for species in their

natural habitat, including turtles and osprey.

“We hope that it will be an occasion for fathers and daughters to spend some time together before school starts,” she said.

Farrough said St. Joseph

County parks staff have been working to revamp their events, adding several other activities that take advantage of the parks’ many amenities such as moonlight and twilight canoeing trips.

“We’re going to offer a full series of parent events,” Farrough said.

Though not solidified, other parent-child events in the works include a moth-er-daughter ski trip, father-son archery event and a mother-son hayride trip.

“Most of them will probably be at St. Patrick’s County Park, but the hay-ride would be at Bendix Woods County Park,” Farrough said. “We’re kind of hoping to offer one per season, so this one is the summer event, and we’ll do one in the fall, winter and spring.”

Those wishing to par-ticipate in the father-daughter canoe trip must sign up by Aug. 4. Cost is $20 per canoe. A canoe fits up to three people.

“What we said is that it’s ideal for daughters 10 and older. If there’s only one adult in the canoe, we don’t really want a tiny child in the front of the canoe,” Farrough said. “The parent should have some canoeing experience. The river isn’t a great start to canoeing if you haven’t canoed before. Usually we recommend a pond or a lake, but if the father has been in a canoe once or twice, they should be OK.”

St. Joseph County Parks can be reached at (574) 654-3155.

NEW BUFFALO — Celebrating its 30th year, the New

Buffalo Ship & Shore Festival returns Aug. 8-10 with plenty of opportuni-ties for people of all ages.

The three-day signature festival presented by the New Buffalo Business Association and Four Winds Casino offers a variety of unique opportunities, including a lighted boat parade and “top-notch” popular bands like Sixteen Candles and Jedi Mind Trip.

“These phenomenal bands are from all over the Midwester,” said Colleen Ryan, festival producer from Traffic PR & Marketing. “People have a great time dancing, and the music highlights every-thing while people stroll along the street to shop at the craft booths and art vendors, drop inside the

Whittaker merchants and enjoy the shoreline sights.”

The lighted parade fea-tures floating yachts, plea-sure boats and cruisers draped with twinkling lights on the waters of the harbor. After the parade, Casey’s New Buffalo spon-sors a fireworks show, which is dedicated to Ryan’s late husband, Tom Neubauer, this year.

“It’s such an enjoyable weekend and one of the most scenic sights anywhere in the Midwest,” said Migs Murry, chairperson. “The backdrop of beautiful Lake Michigan makes it a fantas-tic event. There’s something magical about the location of the fest in this terrific beach-front town, and we’re really excited to be back on Whittaker Street for the 30th Anniversary Celebration.”

Other popular opportu-nities include the “Family

Fun Fest,” in which chil-dren can participate in an ice-cream eating contest, face painting, carnival games and interactive activities sponsored by Curious Kids’ Museum.

Saturday Aug. 9, run-ners of all experience lev-els can participate in the Bison Boosters Stampede 5K Walk/Run, which begins and ends at the New Buffalo Beach. T-shirts are guaranteed with pre-regis-tration at NBAS.org. Race day registration and packet pickup begins at 7:45 a.m., and the race begins at 8:30. Free parking will be offered at the beach until 10:30 a.m.

Cost to attend the Ship & Shore Festival is a $5 dona-tion at the gate. Children 12 and under enter for free. For more information, visit www.newbuffalo.org, or call 888-660-6222.

Cauliflower magicA couple weeks ago,

a good friend and fellow vegan post-

ed a photo of a salad topped with buffalo cauliflower on her Instragram feed. A huge fan of spicy food, and of vegetables (obviously), I was intrigued. I’ve seen and even had buffalo cauli-flower before, but I’d sort of forgotten about wanting to try to make it at home.

I really love the idea of buffalo vegetables over seitan or tofu. I mean, why not incorporate more plants into your diet by covering them with a delicious spicy sauce? Seitan leaves me feeling heavy, and I use tofu as a staple in so many recipes, that hearty vegetables seem perfect for this appetizer or side dish.

I sent my friend Jen a text right away asking about the recipe. I was familiar with how to make vegan buffalo sauce from working at The Chicago Diner. In fact, the recipe for their award-winning wings sauce is in the cookbook I co-authored for them. I knew the sauce was simple, but I was intrigued about the cau-liflower cooking process.

As it turns out, Jen received the florets cut and breaded with the portioned ingre-dients for the sauce from an organic meal service here in Chicago. She answered a few questions about the cooking steps,

and I was ready to get going on my own version. I knew it would not be dif-ficult to make from scratch. There’s about three steps, that’s it.

I did originally make the sauce about five days before the cauliflower dish, which saved me some time when I added the step of breading.

The first night I made the sauce, I just poured it over mixed veggies and baked them in the oven. It wasn’t my original inten-tion, but the head of cauli-

flower I planned to use that night had gone bad and had to be tossed. The mixed veggie option was delicious as well, espe-cially when mixed with black beans and cooked millet or quinoa. It’s very spicy on its own, so without the breading to cut it, you need to add some fillers.

The sauce recipe easily makes enough for several batches of veggies. I used 3/4 cup sauce for about 2 1/2 cups vegeta-bles. Just store extra sauce in the fridge for a week or so.

Cornmeal Breaded Buffalo CauliflowerYield: 2 servings

2 ½ cups local cauliflower florets ¾ cup buffalo sauce2 cups cornmeal Ener g egg replacerWater

1. Place cornmeal in a small mixing bowl. 2. In a small prep bowl, whisk together about ½ tablespoon Ener g egg replacer with enough water to make about ½ - ¾ cup slurry to dip your florets in. You might want to check the box for proportions. 3. Dip one floret in the slurry, then roll it in the cornmeal and place in a large mixing bowl. Repeat until all the florets are breaded. 4. Meanwhile, reheat ¾ cup sauce in a small sauce pan. Pour over the florets, and use a rubber spoon-achula to toss well. Be sure all the florets are coated thoroughly. I used 1 medium size head organic cauliflower, and ¾ cup sauce coated it perfectly.5. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet, and bake at 350 for about 15 minutes, stirring once or twice to ensure even baking. 6. Serve with a side of vegan ranch and salad.

Vegan Buffalo SauceYield: about 2 cups sauce

2/3 cup Frank’s hot sauce 1 teaspoon paprika1 cup coconut oil 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar4 cloves fresh garlic, lightly chopped 1 teaspoon liquid smoke1 habanero pepper, sliced

1. Place all ingredients in a food processor fitted with the metal “S” blade and process until you have a smooth liquid. You’re going to want to scrape the sides a couple times throughout the blending process. 2. Pour sauce into a saucepan, and heat over medium high heat, whisking constantly until sauce starts to simmer and thicken. This should only take about five minutes.3. Toss with vegetables immediately. Store extra sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

BENTON TOWNSHIP — The Lake Michigan College Mendel

Center Mainstage launches its 2014-2015 season in a big way when Grammy winner Peter Frampton takes the stage at 8 p.m. Aug. 7

Following a massive year of touring, including 2013’s inaugural Frampton’s Guitar Circus, Frampton is back on the road for a tour that includes a stop in southwestern Michigan.

Frampton has kept quite busy throughout the past year in addition to touring. He was recently inducted in the Musicians Hall of Fame, performed onstage at the Grammy’s with Ringo Starr and also played an integral part in the 50th anniversary celebration of the Beatles’ arrival in the U.S.

Frampton also produced “Humble Pie’s Rockin’ The Fillmore” deluxe compila-tion with original member

Jerry Shirley, available now via Omnivore Recordings.

Moreover, Frampton’s latest work, “Hummingbird in a Box,” was released June 23 via RED Distribution. The new music was inspired by the Cincinnati Ballet, featuring seven original guitar pieces in Frampton’s virtuosic styling. Frampton com-posed all songs on the mini-album along with Gordon Kennedy, who also co-produced the recording. The two previously teamed up for “ Fingerprints,” which garnered them both a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Album.

Frampton remains one of the most celebrated art-ists and guitarists in rock history. At 16, he was lead singer and guitarist for British band the Herd. At 18, he co-founded one of the first super groups, sem-inal rock act Humble Pie.

His session work includes collaborations

with such legendary artists as George Harrison, Harry Nilsson, David Bowie, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ringo Starr, John Entwistle and many others.

His fifth solo album, the electrifying “Frampton Comes Alive!,” is one of the top-selling live records of all time.

For full details on Frampton and the summer tour, please visit www.frampton.com.

Tickets for Peter Frampton are available by calling the LMC Mendel Center Box Office at (269) 927-1221 or visiting www.lmcmainstage.org. A limit-ed number of special VIP packages are available that include seating in the first 15 rows of the theater, con-cert t-shirt exclusive to VIP ticket purchasers, collect-ible tour lithograph, com-memorative tour laminate, exclusive tour merchandise item, and pre-show party.

Special group rates, pre-show party options, and

other special arrangements are also available. Contact Mike Nadolski at (269) 927-8109 or [email protected] for more information.

Whirlpool Corporation and Z 94.3 are sponsoring the LMC Mendel Center Mainstage performance of Peter Frampton.
