The bruising hot weather in July 1936 played a prank on grocer Ralph D. Boomershine, who operated a neighborhood market at 1946 Park Ave. When he heard a new kind of “bird” chirping in or near the storage room adjoining his store, he discovered the sound was coming from one of his egg cases. Opening the case, he found two baby chicks hatched and calling for help. Boomershine and his dog, Brownie, observed the chicks' activity with great curiosity.

     Detective Sgts. Spurgeon D. Davenport (left) and James W. Rogers of the Indianapolis Police Department cracked the case on Jan. 5, 1953 of two supermarket holdups, following a baffling trail through Indianapolis and Chicago underworlds. The men teamed up in the investigations division for about nine years. Davenport recalls there were only 16 black policemen in the city out of a force of more than 400 when he joined IPD in 1934. Policemen were given one day off a month Ð "Sunday, if you were lucky," he says. Davenport overcame obstacles that black officers met when moving up through the ranks back then, transferring to the detective division in 1945. Within a year, he was promoted to the rank of investigator. He became Deputy Chief of Investigation, then transferred to Deputy Chief of Inspection and Training, the rank he held when he retired in 1973. Davenport, a member of the Crispus Attucks Hall of Fame, was born in Indianapolis, the oldest of 12 children. He turned 90 in May and is still quick-witted. On his upcoming 70th wedding anniversary to wife Cleo next February, Davenport jokes, "I'm still doing time." People tell him he doesn't have one enemy in the world, to which he replies, "I've outlived them all." The Davenportshave one daughter, Barbara Flowers. Rogers was a police officer for 23 years and retired as sergeant in the homicide division in 1966. He owned and operated Besco Hardware and Cabinets Co. for 30 years until his death in 1995, at 82. His wife, Georgia, was an IPD policewoman, serving 34 years with the department. She died in 1985. Indianapolis Star Photo / Frank Fisse
9/1/01 Flashback Detective Sgts. Spurgeon D. Davenport (left) and James W. Rogers of the Indianapolis Police Department cracked the case on Jan. 5, 1953 of two supermarket holdups, following a baffling trail through Indianapolis and Chicago underworlds. The men teamed up in the investigations division for about nine years. Davenport recalls there were only 16 black policemen in the city out of a force of more than 400 when he joined IPD in 1934. Policemen were given one day off a month Ð "Sunday, if you were lucky," he says. Davenport overcame obstacles that black officers met when moving up through the ranks back then, transferring to the detective division in 1945. Within a year, he was promoted to the rank of investigator. He became Deputy Chief of Investigation, then transferred to Deputy Chief of Inspection and Training, the rank he held when he retired in 1973. Davenport, a member of the Crispus Attucks Hall of Fame, was born in Indianapolis, the oldest of 12 children. He turned 90 in May and is still quick-witted.

        Gun sales have been a controversial topic and political hot potato in recent months. Last week's vote by the House of Representatives to loosen restrictions on sales at gun shows, and an ABC report in February on the Marion County Sheriff's Department's auctioning of guns seized by police, generated some criticism. But in 1971, no one gave it a second thought when a packed Indiana State Fairgrounds Conservation Building was the scene of an auction of guns confiscated from poachers by conservation officers. The auction drew about 800 bidders. Fifty-two rifles and shotguns, three bows and arrows and two scuba diving outfits were sold for a total of $3,455. Many bid more than what was then the current market price for new gunsof the same make and model. Photo by Indianapolis News photographer Jim Young, Oct. 30, 1971

    When the lunch whistle sounded at the Link-Belt Company Ewart Works plant on March 14, 1950, a small group of men headed to the locker room, where they gathered during the noon hour to read the Bible together. Most of the men had not set foot inside a church for years, or even read the Bible, until the group was organized the year before. Giving up most of their lunch hour to attend, the men met each Tuesday for a Bible lesson led by three men, Churchill Cofer, Howard Cottman and Fred League. On Thursdays, the unusual scene was repeated as they came together to read their Bibles. League retired from Link-Belt in 1962 and was ordained in 1966. He became associate pastor of Mount Paran Missionary Baptist Church in 1969 and became pastor there in 1984. Rev. League died in July 1995. The Ewart Works plant, at 220 South Belmont Ave., was one of three plants the Link-Belt Company built in Indianapolis. In 1885, an Iowa agricultural tool dealer, William Ewart, moved his business to Indianapolis and restructured his companies as Link-Belt Company in 1906. With more than 4,000 employees in 1969, the company was Indianapolis' fifth-largest employer. After several sales, the last owner, Rexnord Corp., closed the Belmont Avenue roller chain factory in 2002, citing steep operating costs because of a deteriorating building and aged manufacturing equipment. Two hundred and eighteen workers were employed by Rexnord when closing plans were announced in June 2001. Indianapolis Star Photo / Joseph Craven

More than 300 sticks of dynamite was used in the demolition of the historic hotel, located at West Washington Street and Kentucky Avenue. The hotel, which opened on June 29, 1918, took three years to build. The first eight floors were completed during World War I and remaining floors were added in 1921 when supplies were more readily available. It was later known as the Sheraton-Lincoln, until Sheraton Corp. sold out to Gotham Hotels in 1968. The following year, Gotham began renovating the hotel, scene of many political gatherings in Indianapolis. But in July 1970, with renovation 25 percent complete, Gotham decided to close the Lincoln. Faced with low occupancy and problems complying with fire regulations, the hotel gave occupants, including the state Democratic party, only three days to vacate. The building sat vacant until demolition day, nearly three years later Ð the first time dynamite was used to demolish that large a building in Indianapolis.

        It took only 10 seconds to reduce the 55-year-old Lincoln Hotel (right) to a pile of rubble on the morning of April 9, 1973. More than 300 sticks of dynamite was used in the demolition of the historic hotel, located at West Washington Street and Kentucky Avenue. The hotel, which opened on June 29, 1918, took three years to build. The first eight floors were completed during World War I and remaining floors were added in 1921 when supplies were more readily available. It was later known as the Sheraton-Lincoln, until Sheraton Corp. sold out to Gotham Hotels in 1968. The following year, Gotham began renovating the hotel, scene of many political gatherings in Indianapolis. But in July 1970, with renovation 25 percent complete, Gotham decided to close the Lincoln. Faced with low occupancy and problems complying with fire regulations, the hotel gave occupants, including the state Democratic party, only three days to vacate. The building sat vacant until demolition day, nearly three years later Ð the first time dynamite was used to demolish that large a building in Indianapolis. Seen in the background at center is the Indiana Repertory Theatre at 140 W. Washington St. The Hyatt Regency, featuring the rotating Eagle's Nest Restaurant at the top, now occupies the site of the old Lincoln Hotel. Photo by Indianapolis News photographer Tim Halcomb

When Sam the Chimp put on his Red Ball Jet shoes and size 4 ice skates, he became a changed person Ð er, chimp. Speed became a compulsion as he sailed about the Coliseum in his bulky knit sweater and stocking cap, jumping, spinning and skating backwards without a flinch or waver. Sam took a break from the ice on Dec. 30, 1964 to ÒassistÓ Mrs. Charlie Worpell with her skates. Worpell, one of the chimpÕs professional ice skating trainers, said Sam was born in 1959 in a jungle in Africa. After coming to the United States, he lived with Mr. and Mrs. Henry Sprister of Rochester, Ind. For fun, Sprister took him roller skating. Sam was so good, his talents caught the eye of Charlie Worpell of Artist Management Studios. Mrs. Worpell and Ron Ludington (the ColiseumÕs professional skater), taught the chimp the basics of ice skating in only one week, but it took an additional week for each new trick. The following week, the Spristers took Sam on an extended trip to Paris for his Europeandebut. Even though Sam was trained, he wore a diaper while performing Ð just in case. ÒHeÕs really just like any other little boy, except he canÕt talk,Ó said Mrs. Worpell. ÒHeÕs had the measles and chicken pox and recently got over a terrible flu.

      Santa Claus, Ind., located in Spencer County only a few miles away from the boyhood home of Abraham Lincoln, was given that name on Christmas Eve in 1852 by a small group of German settlers. The Santa Claus Post Office, officially established in 1856, normally processes about 13,000 pieces of mail a month, except for the month before Christmas, when up to half-a-million pieces arrive from all over the world, requesting the town's Santa postmark. The Santa Claus postmaster in 1914 answered the first children's letter sent to the town, but the Southern Indiana community was little-known until 1927, when a meteorite plunged into the town. The event was chronicled in Ripley's Believe It Or Not and soon after, thousands of children's letters began flooding the town each December. In 1935, the nation's first theme park opened on the site of the crater, and in 1946 Santa Claus Land opened (now named Holiday World & Splashin' Safari). Oscar Phillips, who became the Santa Claus postmaster in 1935, is shown here on Feb. 28, 1947, a week after the famous post office moved into a new building. Ten years later, the current post office, featuring a stone-castle design, was built just outside the park's entrance. Photo by Indianapolis Star photographer Joseph E. Craven

     Hundreds of Indianapolis 25-year-old draft eligibles waiting to register for the country's second peacetime draft lined up outside the Marion County draft headquarters at 342 Massachusetts Ave. (building on right) on Aug. 30, 1948. Only nine volunteer clerks were working at 9 a.m. when 400 men crowded into the office. Draft officials had underestimated, figuring only 650 men would register that day. But by 6 p.m., 700 had registered, and by 8 p.m., 500 were still in line. At 10 p.m., W. D. A. Peaslee, a Selective Service Boarda member, informed about 350 men who had been waiting as long as six hours that no more could be registered, and to return any day before Sept. 19. Men broke into angry shouts such as "We'll tear the building down," "You can come and get us when you want us," and "We're not going to give up another day's pay." Police arrived and dispursed the crowd. The following day, 30 volunteer workers signed up 1,600 25 and 24-year-olds, easing the bottleneck. On June24, President Truman had signed into law the draft requiring men 19 through 25 years old to serve 21-month stints in the military. The Army started draft calls asking for 10,000 men for November 1948 induction. American troops stationed in Korea since Sept. 1945 numbered 45,000 by 1948. South Korea became a republic on Aug. 15, 1948. The following year, American ground troops were withdrawn, only to return for conflict in July 1950, which lasted until July 1953. In this view, looking north from New YorkStreet, Delaware Street is at left and Massachusetts Avenue at right. The building in the foreground (McGinty's Used Cars and Mid-Towne Tavern), is now Cord Camera, the Front Page Sports Bar and Grill and Moonstruck Chocolate Bar.

Steel girders were sunk into concrete bases for the shed, which eventually extended from Meridian Street on the east to Capitol Avenue on the west. More than 15,000 tons of steel were used in the construction project, which proceded without interfering with trains continuing to use the station. The track elevation was done in stages, elevating some tracks first, which were then used while other tracks were elevated. The building in the background is the Oliver Chilled Plow Works, 160 South Pennsylvania St., specializing in the manufacture of chilled and steel plows.

Fri. 4/2 Flashback
      In 1948, the Indianapolis Stock Yards was one of the city’s busiest spots from dawn until noon. Buyers, salesmen, farmers, herders and brokers watched the market board with equal interest as it fluctuated hourly. Average Indianapolis cattle receipts ranged from 1,500 to 2,000 head and hog receipts from 10,000 to 20,000. At the time, the stockyards was the fifth largest livestock market in the United States and third largest hog market. Established in 1877, the stockyards grew to 147 acres along Kentucky Avenue just west of the White River. The stockyards relocated elsewhere on Kentucky Ave. when Eli Lilly and Co. purchased the land in 1967 for a future expansion site. Lilly’s Technology Center, built in 1972, presently occupies the old stockyards location. Photo by Indianapolis Star photographer Maurice Burnett, June 2, 1948.

     Third baseman J. C. Martin of the Indianapolis Indians gave out pointers on playing the hot corner to boys age 8 to 12 in The Indianapolis News-Indianapolis Indians baseball clinic at Victory Field on June 15, 1959. The opening session of the two-day clinic attracted 1,500 boys, many intent upon someday becoming a professional baseball player. The Victory Field shown here was later renamed Bush Stadium, which was used by the Indians until the team's current ball park, also namedVictory Field, was opened on July 11, 1996 at 501 W. Maryland St. Downtown. Martin played one year with the Indians and later that season made it to the majors, where he played 905 games over the course of 14 years. He later became primarily a catcher.

While the strawberry season is winding down, Spencer Farms expects to have them available through the week, and possibly into the weekend, then transition to other crops including blueberries and grapes. 

On Thursday, June 8, Monument Circle will host Christ Church Cathedral Women's annual strawberry festival. While the berries won't be local, the shortcakes will be.

The mechanical broncs, a common sight in front of Indianapolis stores years ago, have all but disappeared from stores today. Jim Borden and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Borden, lived at 5925 Allisonville Road. The supermarket was started in 1946 by Albert and Naomi Galyan, one of the first 24-hour-a-day stores in Indianapolis. The couple later started the Galyan's Trading Post empire (now Galyans Sports & Outdoor), which Dick's Sporting Goods announced on June 21 that it would acquire.

7/5/2003 Flashback.      A dozen years ago, soldiers returning from the United States' first war in Iraq were met with appreciative cheers from  Lawrence Township students lining the road along East 56th Street. An estimated 6,000 people welcomed 230 Indiana-based Army reservists home from Operation Desert Storm on April 18, 1991 after the fighting ended. The United States led a coaltion of forces against Iraq from Jan. 16 to Feb. 27, 1991, after Saddam Hussein's armies invaded Kuwait on Aug. 2, 1990. Troops returned home after President George Bush declared Kuwait liberated. In one of those uncanny ironies, Bush's son, George W. Bush, also became president, and also sent United States troops to fight in Iraq in a campaign that began on March 19 of this year. Victory has been declared in this war as well, but in contrast to the first war, soldiers trickle home in smaller number, and more than two months after the fall of Baghdad, soldiers continue to die in isolated incidents.

     Fourteen-year-old Charles Manson was back in custody in Indianapolis on Oct. 19, 1949, charged with attempted burglary after escaping from the Indiana Boys School near Plainfield. Nearly seven months earlier, on March 7, Manson learned he had been accepted to Boys Town in Nebraska. The hearing made front-page news in Indianapolis. Manson, described as a dead-end kid, told Judge Joseph O. Hoffman, "I think I could be happy working around cows and horses." Days after his arrival,he decided otherwise and fled. On April 1, he was committed to the Boys School. At 16, he escaped again and drove a stolen car to California, where he later founded his "family" in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury. Manson and three female followers were sentenced to death for the Aug. 9, 1969 murders  of actress Sharon Tate and six others; the sentences were reduced to life in prison in 1977.

Forbes registered to become a living kidney donor two and a half years ago when a close family friend was in need, but found out his sister was a perfect match. On the two year anniversary of her friend's transplant, Forbes reached out to donate through Indiana University, which matched her with Noah Mikel. When Forbes found out in December last year that her recipient was a 16-year-old boy, she asked that Mikel's family be notified before Christmas that he had been matched to a living donor. The two met for the first time Saturday at Riley Hospital for Children where Mikel gave Forbes a silver bracelet engraved with the date of the transplant. Forbes said the experience has reminded her "how it easy it is to love."

       David Baker (left) learned to play trombone under jazz trombone legend J.J. Johnson, but took up the cello and performed in the bands of Quincy Jones, Maynard Ferguson and Lionel Hampton. In 1966, he joined the music faculty at Indiana University, where he has remained for 35 years, and is now the chair of the school's Jazz Studies program. Over the years, Baker has passed on his passion for jazz to his students, one of whom was Pharez Whitted (right) of Indianapolis, shown conferring with Baker in one of the IU classrooms in April 1986. Whitted, son of Virtue Hampton Whitted (one of the Hampton Sisters), became a prominent figure in Indianapolis jazz following his graduation from IU, and followed Baker into the academic field. In the late '90s, Whitted took a position with Ohio State University and recently relocated to the Chicago area, where he now teaches music at Roosevelt University. Baker, who was involved in the inception of the first Indy Jazz Fest in 1999, has beeninvolved either as a performer or conductor in each Jazz Fest up until this year. He will miss this weekend's fourth annual event due to another commitment, as will Whitted, who has also performed at the Indy Jazz Fest. Whitted is teaching and performing this summer in Las Vegas. Baker, who was honored by the Indiana Historical Society in 2001 as an Indiana Living Legend, assumed the presidency of the International Association of Jazz Educators just two weeks ago. Although an accomplished performer, Baker, 70, is perhaps better known as a composer. He has had a part in the production of 60 to 70 albums. Indianapolis News Photo / Patty Espich

Baker, who was honored by the Indiana Historical Society in 2001 as an Indiana Living Legend, assumed the presidency of the International Association of Jazz Educators just two weeks ago. Although an accomplished performer, Baker, 70, is perhaps better known as a composer. He has had a part in the production of 60 to 70 albums. Indianapolis News Photo / Patty Espich

     Olympic gold medalist Jesse Owens and his wife Ruth posed for a photo upon their arrival in Indianapolis on Oct. 8, 1936, Owens came to speak at several black Republican meetings. Among those who greeted Owens here were Rufus Kuykendall, at that time a member of the Indiana Republican committee colored bureau (and later, a Marion County judge), and Frank Beckwith, a Republican candidate for state representative at that time. In 1960, Beckwith ran against Richard Nixon in the Indiana Republican primary, getting 20,000 votes. Owens' visit to Indianapolis was on the tails of his legendary feat at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, where he won gold medals in the 100-meter-dash, 200-meter-dash, the broad jump, and as a member of the 400-meter relay team. While still in high school, Owens tied a world record in the 100-meter-dash. On March 23, 1935, Owens tied the world record of 6.1 seconds in the 60-yard dash at the Butler Relays in Indianapolis. That same year, Owens married Ruth Solomon, his high school girlfriend. Jesse Owens died in 1980 from complications due to cancer, at age 66. The Jesse Owens Foundation, a youth-oriented financial assistance program, is operated by Owens' widow Ruth and one of their daughters, Marlene.

A fox squirrel and a photographer look at each other in Garfield Park, Indianapolis, Wednesday, Feb. 10, 2016. Fox squirrels, the largest in the United States, don't hibernate, usually have two litters per year, and live about ten years in the wild, where Hoosier hunters shoot over a quarter million each year. In cities, people find they can be nuisance, raiding bird feeders and getting into attics. Hot peppers can be a natural deterrent, as birds don't feel much if any effect, but squirrels do. Squirrels aren't usually thought of as mascots, but they've made a few appearances, including at Ohio's Oberlin College, which has an albino squirrel as an unofficial mascot.

Riding in the back was engineer John Stake. The photograph appeared in the April 22, 1911 edition of The Indianapolis News, accompanying a poem titled, "When the Six's Grays Are Out." It was written by William Herschell, whose popular poems appeared each Saturday under the heading, "Songs of the City Streets." The horses on duty that day were Bob (left), who liked onions, and Hoagy, who favored apples. The days of the horse and fire wagon soon would pass: In 1921, the department was completely motorized.

The rail yard, which once employed about 5,000 people, opened in 1908 as shops for the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis Railway (also known as the Big Four Railroad). The workforce had dropped to 950 by the end of 1998 when the Amtrak-operated facility won its first contract in years to overhaul rail cars for another railroad. The U.S. Department of Transportation-administered passenger rail system hoped the deal would be the first in a series of profit-making ventures to wean it from federal operating subsidies.

Workers from Zore's towing begin to unload 32,000 pounds of toilet paper from an overturned semitrailer truck on the departures ramp to the terminal at the Indianapolis International Airport after the truck overturned shortly before 5:30 a.m. Monday, August 10, 2015. Structural engineers accessed any damage to the ramp, which was shut down for nearly five hours. Departing passenger traffic was diverted to the arrivals gate for hours. The semi, owned by a Canadian company, apparently overturned due to excessive speed, said Bill Reardon, the airport's chief of police. A small amount of fuel was spilled.

Gaia Shields flips a pancake while racing other students during Shrove Tuesday and Pancake Day festivities at St. Richard's Episcopal School, Tuesday, Feb. 17, 2015. Kids at the school celebrated the last day before Lent by eating pancakes earlier in the day and then participating in pancake races at the end of the day.  Students and faculty raced each other while flipping the pancakes in skillets. Pancakes are associated with the day preceding Lent because they were a way to use up rich foods such as eggs, milk and sugar before the fasting season leading up to Easter. In the United Kingdom, the day is also known as Pancake Day, and it is a custom to eat pancakes as a meal. On Pancake Day, pancake races are held across the U.K. The tradition is said to have originated in 1445 when a housewife from Olney, Buckinghamshire, was so busy making pancakes that she forgot the time until she heard the church bells ringing for the service. She raced out of the house to church while still carrying her frying pan and pancake, tossing it to prevent it from burning.

As the Indiana Senate Republicans sat in caucus, the 51 Senate pages sat along the wall in the Senate chamber waiting for the delayed start to Monday's session on February 17, 2014. The noon caucus ran long, pushing back the scheduled 1:30 start to 3 p.m., shortening the pages' chance to observe Democracy in action. Their day starts at 8 a.m. and includes a Statehouse tour and meeting with Senate interns before the session opens. At that point they usually meet with the senators they are assigned to and deliver messages to their desks before leaving at 3:30. Monday, the pages, in grades 6-to-12, didn't get much face-to-face time before they left at 3:30. Republicans met behind closed doors for a lengthy discussion on how to handle the third reading for HJR-3, the same-sex marriage ban.   Some old-timers commented on how it looked like the start of a Sadie Hawkins dance from back in their younger days.

As the snow began to fall in downtown Indianapolis, an unidentified man gets down on one knee to propose to his girlfriend on the steps of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument while a friend (not pictured) photographed the moment on Valentine's Day, Friday, February 14, 2014.I, Taylor Cox, am 23 years old and a senior at IUPUI studying Political Science. I work as an intern at the AFL-CIO downtown and as a server at Upland Carmel Taphouse. I live in Broadripple, and grew up in Fishers, IN. 
Hannah Klenotic, my fiance, is 21 years old, and is studying to become a esthetician at Salon Professional Academy in Anderson. She also works at Three Wis3men and Applebee's in Greenfield, IN, where she currently lives. 

It all started a couple of weeks ago, when we began planning what we would be doing and how we would be spending Valentine's Day together. We met in the summertime of last year, so this was our first Valentine's Day, she also told me that she had never really celebrated it with anyone, so I wanted to make sure that it was special. I knew from our second date that I loved her more than anything, and wanted to be her husband one day. She has been my best friend and companion ever since then. I contacted my photographer friend, Matt Morgan, and asked him if he could get us in for a "couple's shoot", since we don't have very many pictures together, something Hannah always brings up. I asked him if  he could help me with the proposal, and direct her to turn her back away from me so that I could get down on one knee, and hold the ring out while she turned around. I wanted to capture the moment, and get her natural reaction on film for us to always have. So, we met Matt downtown on the circle where we were going to shoot, and you know the rest! She said "yes"!

Moments after the conclusion of the Holiday Classical Concert at the Glendale Library, Monday, December 9, 2013, Konstantin Umansky (left), age 63, principal violinist with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, was shyly approached by 7 year old, Sebastian Konnersman (and Tina Moore). Sebastian shared with Mr. Umansky that his Christmas wish was for a violin.  The master violinist saw immediately that the boy was very serious and shared his hope too that he would receive the violin as a gift.  Umansky said, "Hopefully you will be able to have a good teacher to navigate you very well and have fun learning."  He then proclaimed he was only five years old when he started playing the violin. A native of the Southern Ukraine,  Konstantin joined the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra in 1981.  Continuing, he said, "Music can change a life style. For kids who take violin, piano, cello or any instrument (for that matter) it teaches  discipline. It helps people become organized."   The ISO musicians will be giving another free Holiday Concert in the Irvington Library branch, Decmeber 16, at 6:30 PM.

Knightstown Police Chief Danny Baker feels the jolt of 50,000 volts of low-amp electricity from a stun gun at the town's middle school Wednesday, November 27, 2013. Holding him up are town officers Keith Baker and Steve Zimmerman. Shirley police officer Bryan Prior, right, fired the stun gun. Baker came up with the idea to be shot by a stun gun as a way to raise money for his department to lease a new police car. Due to lack of town funds his department is down to one working police car at the moment. He says he still has pledges coming from across the country but so far has raised about $800 in cash and a $25,000 pledge from a company in Texas.

This park, established in 1999, was the first of four Indy Parks bark parks around the city. The parks, which are open from dawn to dusk, are unsupervised except by the owners themselves, who pay either a $5 daily usage fee for a Pooch Pass, or like most, a $125 yearly pass, available at Broad Ripple Park and good for all Indy Parks bark parks. Dogs run around off the leash in the fenced-in parks and share toys brought in by their owners. The other bark parks are the Eagle Creek Gordon Gilmer Bark Park on the Westside (7840 W. 56th St.), Smock Bark Park on the Southside (451 E.

Bacon, who is an assistant pastor at 25th Street Baptist Church, works full-time as an administrator with the city's Department of Public Works. While Bacon oversees about a dozen such services a season, and has so since 1996, the teachings are offered to players before every home game by a more regular pastor, and attendance by players varies throughout the year. "The most profound thing is not believing there are Christian athletes. These are Christian men who are blessed to be able to play this sport," he said. "What matters is their walk with Jesus."

Ellise Rhoades feeds penguins at the Indianapolis Zoo, Monday, October 28, 2013. Throughout the week, visitors to the zoo can see aquarists feeding fish to three species of penguins, Gentoo, and Rockhoppers, which are endangered, and Kings which are a threatened species.  As well as feeding the birds, aquarists make a lot of observations, such as monitoring who is eating or not, and what they are eating.  Now is the breeding season, so it is also monitored which birds are mating.  Though many penguins will remain in a couple for a long time, they will sometimes change a mate.  The aquarists must make sure that, for genetic diversity, that certain birds to not mate.  For example, if birds are related, or if a bird mates with one of the penguins with epilepsy, as some are epileptic and on medicine, these penguins are not allowed to mate, for genetic reasons.  At any rate, a lot of observation goes along with the feeding time of the aquatic and flightless birds who are truly social.  Kelly Wilkinson / The Star

The clinic, run by makeup artists Jen Ring and Callie Burk, taught scary Halloween makeup tips to about 20 teenagers during a 90 minute clinic. Burk said, "it's not so much how many colors you have, but what you do with those colors. You can learn so much on Youtube videos." She said that zombies are a relatively easy look to pull off for inexperienced artists, while werewolf effects require techniques that beginners can't easily pull off.

Photos for Century package on the 40sdecade package
Two gigantic flags were used by the William H. Block Co. to herald victory in Europe. Soon after word of GermanyÕs unconditional surrender was flashed on May 7, 1945, the flags were unfolded from the top floor. Each flag weighed 300 pounds and measured 100 by 60 feet and were bought especially for use on V-E Day. The stars were three feet across and the stripes were nearly five feet wide.
