“At that time,” Bear explained, “20 was the mini-
mum age to join the WAVES, so on my 20th birth-
day, I was picked up by the Navy and brought to the
Michigan City armory to be sworn in by the com-
manding officer of the gunnery school located there
during World War II.”
Bear and Pekarski attended boot camp together
at Hunter’s College in The Bronx, then storekeep-
er school at Georgia State College for Women in
Milledgeville, Ga. Next, they were assigned to their
first base, Port Hueneme, Calif., located at Oxnard
and the port of embarkation for the Seabees, which
were shipping out to the Pacific Islands.
“It was right on the ocean – can you imagine
that?!” Bear exclaimed, adding that just like her
mother, she has always loved the water.
Bear found it remarkable that she and Pekarski

“Everybody knew Pardner. He was a character.

Village of Michiana Park Dedication
Village of Michiana residents will celebrate
changes made to Forest McCance Park, 4000 Cher-
okee Drive, at 1 p.m. EDT Sunday, May 29.
Thanks to 165 village residents, improvements
include: the Buford Pavilion; Big B’s Bocci Ball
Court; a play area with zip line; and new basket-
ball backboards and hoops.
For years, a tired park with failing playground
equipment abutted a leaf mulch and yard-waste
storage area, including mounds of sand and dirt.
Only the Michiana Summer Day Camp used the
park for two months each year. That changed in
2020 with the new pickleball court complex sup-
ported by the Pokagon Fund and village taxpayers.
Soon, the village council approved reclaiming all
the park area, followed by designing a new park.
More than 45 percent of residents responded to
assisting the project. The first phone call to Robert
Buford ended with a pledge for a new pavilion de-
signed for music or family events. Berta Beranek, a
new village resident, pledged to fund a bocci court
with seating. Longtime resident Jurate Lawler do-
nated all the swings.
The commemorative walkway to the pickleball
courts remains an ongoing fundraiser: 75 bricks
sold and counting. Most residents bought one or
two bricks, but the Joanne Friedland family bought
six.
Ultimately residents raised more than $350,000
in one year.
Village Council President Joann Fisher said in
a press release, “We are so close to installing the
final pieces of playground equipment this year.
That includes the Marla Dorf Memorial Musical
Garden.”
The First Michiana Golfathon is June 6 at Pot-
tawattomie Country Club. Contact the village of-
fice at (269) 469-4600 for more details. The first
summer concert at the Buford Pavilion is July 8.
The Michiana Women’s Club Pickleball Tourna-
ment is July 30-31. Michiana Day Camp starts
June 20.
