NEWS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)
Chicagoan of the Year! Part showman, part educator, and
part community goodwill ambassador, Kirk is doing everything he can to move a change-resistant art form into the
21st Century. At a time when Symphony Orchestras are
worried about replacing their graying audiences, Kirk has
created a talent competition that gives children of all ages
the opportunity to perform a solo at every concert the
symphony performs during the year. Another unique
attempt to encourage audience participation, Kirk utilizes
a specially designed dance floor, and actually
encourages audience members to dance during performances by the symphony’s youth orchestra, and a swing
band, at NISO’s popular pops concerts. Kirk has come a
long way from his hometown of Crows Nest Pass in
Alberta, Canada, and we are fortunate to have him in
Northwest Indiana! Congratulations, Maestro!
CABELA’S HUMAN RESOURCE TEAM VISITS
NW INDIANA:
Cabela’s advance planning team visited with the
Lakeshore Chamber for three days in February to arrange
employee training for their new Hammond store, which
will open later in 2007. Representatives from the
Chamber, Purdue Calumet, Ivy Tech, Center for Workforce Innovations, Workforce Development,
Empowerment Zone, Hammond’s Area Career Center,
School City of Hammond, and representatives from the
Mayor’s staff met with Cabela’s representatives
To review training sites, as well as establish a local
planning team for the approximately 400 jobs that will be
created by the new retail establishment. Cabela’s expects
over 4 Million customers will visit the Hammond retail
store annually, with over 50% of those visitors traveling
from over 200 miles! To learn more about this retail
giant, and to view Career opportunities with Cabela’s,
please visit their website at www.cabelas.com, and
prepare yourself for an adventure with the World’s
Foremost Outfitter!
INDIANAPOLIS COLTS –
SUPERBOWL CHAMPIONS!!!
Who would have thought that the Colts and the Bears
would end up in the Superbowl when the NFL season
began several months ago? While it was a match-up
made in Heaven for Northwest Indiana, the Region
football fans are clearly staunch supporters of
The Chicago Bears. Win or Lose, the experience of the
past several weeks has brought much pride to our
community, and the memories will last a lifetime, albeit
probably longer if you are a Colt Fan! ☺ Go Colts!!

KIRK MUSPRATT ELEGIDO CHICAGOAN DEL
AÑO:
¡Kirk Muspratt, el conductor popular de NISO, de la
orquesta del noroeste de la sinfonía de Indiana, fue recientemente elegido Chicagoan del año! Pieza un demonstrador, parte educador, y embajador de la buena voluntad
de la comunidad, Kirk está haciendo todo lo posible para
mover una forma de arte cambiar-resistente al siglo 21. En
un momento en que las orquestas de la sinfonía se preocupan de substituir a sus audiencias ancianas, Kirk ha
creado una competición de talento que da a niños de todas
las edades la oportunidad de presentar un solo en cada
concierto que la sinfonía presenta durante el año. Otra tentativa única de animar la participación de las audiencias
que Kirk utiliza es un piso de danza especialmente
diseñado, y realmente anima a miembros de las audiencias
que bailen durante funcionamientos de la orquesta de la
juventud de la sinfonía, y a una banda de ritmo, en los
conciertos populares de pop de NISO. Kirk ha recorrido
un largo camino ¡desde su ciudad natal de Crows Nest
Pass in Alberta, Canadá, y somos afortunados de tenerlo
en Indiana del noroeste!¡Felicitaciones, Maestro!
EL EQUIPO DEL RECURSO HUMANOS DE CABELAS VISITA EL NOROESTE DE INDIANA:
El equipo del planeamiento para el progreso de Cabelas

nueva tienda en Hammond, que se abrirá más adelante en
2007. Representantes del Cámara Purdue Calumet, Ivy

namiento, y tambíen para establecer un equipo local del
planeamiento para aproximadamente 400 trabajos que
serán creados por el nuevo establecimiento. Cabela
espera sobre 4 ¡Millón clientes que visitarán la tienda de
Hammond anualmente, con sobre el 50% de esos visitantes que viajan sobre de 200 millas! Para aprender más

SUPERBOWL !!!
terminarían en el Superbowl cuándo la temporada de
NFL comenzó hace varios meses? Mientras que era una
combinación hecho en el cielo para Indiana del noroeste,
los fanáticos del fútbol de la región son claramente
partidarios acérrimo de Los Bears de Chicago.
¡Si Ganaban o no, la experiencia de las semanas pasadas
ha traído mucho orgullo a nuestra comunidad, y las
memorias durarán para el resto de la vida, probablemente
más tiempo si usted es un Fan de los Colts! ¡
Que Sigan Los Colts!!
