Cliff Ward Marriage, the Indy remarkably similar Contrary to popular opinion, there is life in Indiana. I can say that for certain because I spent the recent Memorial Day weekend there on the biggest of all weekends, In­ dianapolis 500 weekend. Although I was not a member of the throng that annually mobs Indianapolis for the "Greatest Spectacle in Racing" (The GSIR, as some say), just being in Indiana on race day can be quite a moving experience. Ibis year, though, my^reasons for journeying to my home state were much different than those of race fans who caused me to sit in a two-hour traffic jam just south of Chicago, I was going home to see two friends get married. (An aside here: Why is it that the powers-that-be con­ tinually close massive portions of the interstate systems throughout Chicagoland each spring? I saw traffic on the Chicago Skyway that bottlenecked from three lanes down to one on the Friday night that kicked off Memorial Day weekend, one of the most highly-traveled weekends of the year. I realize roads need repair, but it seems to me that road crews would inconvenience us motorists less if they closed off a section of road, completed the needed repairs and then moved on to the next section, instead of the present method, which appears to involve closing off huge sections and repairing them whenever they get to them. Am I the only one that ever sees long stretches of road closed off with absolutely no one working on them? If someone could ex­ plain this to me I would be indebted.) Anyways, my friends' wedding was very nice, complete with a beautiful afternoon reception featuring lots of friends, food, fellowship and all that stuff that makes weddings such fun to go to. I was thinking about the two major events of the weekend "the wedding and the Indy 500" Monday morning while shaving. I realized then how related these two events are, which to me was most exciting because I like to find parallels in 8e«Rjw^AP4WI*$ events v Pon!t ask why. Both eveats require a great deal of planning for relatively short events. Think of the months of preparation that go into a major church wedding. The invitations, caterers, dresses and tuxedos, renting a hall, hiring a band, rehearsal dinner blah, blah, blah, for an actual event that lasts anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on your beliefs. The Indianapolis 500 requires that same painstaking attention to detail. Sponsors must be lined up for drivers. The cars must be developed and designed and tested en­ dlessly. The drivers come to Indianapolis in early May to begin preparation for a late May race that only lasts three hours. To me "a happy bachelor and avowed chicken" both processes are so intimidating it gives me yet another reason to avoid active participation in either traditional spring institution. Both weddings and the race feature lots of music. My friends, for example, had the strains of organ, guitars and violin filling the church. I, if I ever marry, would prefer to do it like they do at Indy. I want a choir loft full of high school marching bands backing Jim Nabors as he sings "On the Banks of the Wabash" and "Back Home Again in In­ diana." Both events can attract large crowds. Weddings and the GSIR can have many, many attendees. The 50Q, on the infield especially, often resembles a human sea of slob­ bering, drunken fools. So do many wedding receptions. Teamwork is essential. Each driver in the GSIR has a crack team of trained mechanics and technicians behind Mm. The bride is backed by her maids. The groom has several friends who stand with him at the altar, and in some cases, prevent him from running from it. Then there's always the unfortunate few for whom the event lasts all too brief a time. What race fan hasn't felt a twinge for the driver whose engine fails after only a few laps. In the same way, I feel bad for Uncle Harry when I see him pass out a short time into the reception. I've often wondered how Jackie Stewart would analyze that if hired to provide color commentary at a wedding. , Unfortunately, there are those who go to both events just to see an accident. And, finally, if you win the 500, you are awarded several hundred thousand dollars, and you get a swig of milk and a kiss from a pretty girl in victory lane. After you get married, you get a kiss from your bride, several swigs of champagne at your reception and your friends and relatives award you with 12 toasters and electric can openers. I don't think there's any question who gets the better end of that deal. Coral Township, when he lost control of his vehicle on a curve, police said. A four-car accident a week ago at Front and Elm Streets tied up five o'clock traffic and resulted in 12 people being taken to Northern Illinois Medical Center (NIMCl The accident report indicated that a car driven by Linda Trost, 10918 Janice, Huntley, crossed the center line and struck a vehicle head-on.
