‘Pleased as punch': $265K Black history art installation now under construction honours early Oakville entrepreneur
The Town of Oakville has begun construction of a new permanent art installation honouring local Black history. Construction of the installation began in Burnet Park the week of July 14 and is expected to finish by the end of September. Town staff said the installation honours Oakville's Black history, community, heritage and, in particular, entrepreneur Samuel Adams, a free African American from Maryland who moved to the Oakville area around 1855. He came with his wife and young family and set up a successful blacksmith practice in Bronte. According to the Canadian Caribbean Association of Halton (CCAH), Adams would go on to invent equipment used to lift flat stones from the bottom of Lake Ontario so they could be used in construction. The practice would become known as 'stonehooking' and would become a significant industry in Oakville. Adams' invention of stonehooking equipment would make him a wealthy man and he would reportedly use this wealth to help African Americans fleeing slavery in America to make a life for themselves in Upper Canada. The CCAH said Adams also worked with Reverend William Butler to organize a group of devout Black settlers who, in 1891, built the Turner African Methodist Episcopal Church. The church building still stands at 37 Lakeshore Rd. W. Town staff said the art installation will incorporate stones from the foundation of the Adams family home, which stood at 104 Burnet St. until 2017, when it was demolished due to fire damage. There will also be iron benches at the site that call back to Adams' iron work. According to the Town of Oakville, $265,000 has been allocated to this project. Burnet Park remains open to the public during this construction period. 'We're pleased as punch that this is coming to fruition,' said Dionne Downer, CCAH executive director. 'I think this is a wonderful project and we're very pleased as a community by its progression.' Town staff said descendants of the Adams family have worked with the town and the CCAH to ensure the artwork would be designed by Black artists and reflect on and celebrate the contributions of the Black community to Oakville. Design work for the project was completed by a Black-owned architecture practice, the Studio of Contemporary Architecture (SOCA), a Toronto-based architecture and urban design studio. Avion Construction Group Inc., has been retained as the general contractor for construction. A statement on the SOCA website said their design for the installation, which they call a memorial to Adams, commemorates the life and legacy of a remarkable figure whose story embodies resilience, ingenuity, and community leadership. They said the salvaged foundation stones from the 19th century heritage home will anchor the site with authentic material memory. 'These stones are framed by newly constructed rammed earth walls that evoke permanence and craft,' the statement continues. 'Sculptural iron seating gestures to Adams' blacksmithing trade and longer histories of African iron work, while the open, contemplative design invites visitors to connect with a profound local history of migration, invention, and Black community-building. The project honours Adams' legacy not only as a skilled craftsman and entrepreneur, but as a builder of place — whose story continues to shape Oakville's cultural landscape.' Error!

INdulge: It's tomato season. This summer salad is the best thing I ate in Indy this week
I spent last weekend up north in the charming lakeside town of Syracuse, where I read some books, played some euchre and swallowed what felt like roughly one eighth of Lake Wawasee (I'm really bad at swimming). The trip brought back memories of childhood visits to my grandparents' home in nearby South Bend, where no summer was complete without eating something grown in the dirt of my grandmother's garden. Something like: While it feels wrong to visit Goose the Market and not get a sandwich, the Near Northside deli counter is currently one of the local eateries you're most likely to find a big honking pile of tomatoes. So for this week's INdulge, I purchased the market's burrata salad. Previously in INdulge: This beautiful, messy hot dog is the best thing I ate in Indy this week Goose serves the salad every Thursday during peak tomato season, which in Indiana typically runs through the end of August. A thicket of peppery mixed greens supports six palm-sized slabs of heirloom tomato and a rotund blob of burrata, a delightful balloon-like dairy product filled with mozzarella shreds and clotted cream. The burrata is cool and rich, faintly sweet and a plenty salty with a twinge of sourness. It's great, but I came for the tomatoes. Though best known for corn and soybeans, Indiana also grows a lot of tomatoes (tuh-may-tuhs, as my Hoosier grandfather would have called them). Most of the crop is raised by Elwood-based Red Gold, the largest privately owned tomato processor in the United States. Goose the Market sources its tomatoes from Full Hand Farm, a small organic grower in Noblesville that provides produce for multiple Indianapolis-area restaurants including Beholder, Bluebeard and Tinker Street. The green-flecked heirlooms are plenty sweet for a fruit that is, gastronomically speaking, basically a vegetable. They have the trademark acidity and dense, pulpy texture that I understand many small children and even some grown adults don't really vibe with but that I adore. Dressed up with balsamic vinaigrette and ground pepper, Full Hand's tomatoes make a lovely and filling lunch for $13. That price point should feel reasonable to anyone who has ever bought a quart of deliciously gnarly-looking farmers market tomatoes for — and this may be a slight exaggeration — roughly a million dollars. In truth, good tomatoes at a forgiving price are hard to come by. Nowadays, most mass-market tomatoes in Indiana are harvested with machines, as large-scale producers breed their tomatoes to have thicker skins that can better withstand machine-picking. But those tomatoes also lack some of the flavor compounds found in hand-picked varietals, yielding plants that taste less like summer fruit and more like Del Monte's take on packing peanuts. When it comes to harvesting flavorful tomatoes en masse, man beats machines every time. From a humanitarian standpoint, well, you can probably guess where this is going. Hand-picking, which was the modus operandi in Indiana until the 1980s and still is in parts of Florida and California, is extremely hard work. Pickers spend long days in the summer heat, backs bent beneath the beating sun. For much of our nation's post-slavery history, that labor has primarily been performed by migrant workers, many of them Mexicans or Mexican Americans who follow seasonal farm work across the country in exchange for meager pay and dormitory-like living accommodations of varying quality. The 1964 repeal of the Bracero Program, which for 22 years allowed Mexican immigrants to temporarily work on farms throughout the United States, had rapid consequences for Indiana farms. In a 1965 article from the Marion Leader-Tribune, Hoosier farmers statewide reported that roughly a fourth of their tomato crop had rotted due to unfavorable weather and a failure to attract enough workers. More: Historic Indiana tavern, opened in 1934, still 'kind of everybody's place' under new owner Regional employment offices tried to recruit lower-class 'local persons' to perform the backbreaking work, with little success. One might speculate that those contacted had little interest in developing chronic lumbar pain and/or pesticide poisoning for $1 an hour, but I don't want to make assumptions. The United States has tried repeatedly to wean itself off immigrant employment, but cheap labor is a tough habit to kick. The agriculture industry remains one of the nation's largest employers of documented and undocumented immigrants, historically America's most willing suppliers of low-paying menial labor. This isn't meant to make you feel like a robber baron every time you buy a bag of Romas at Kroger, just a reminder that really good tomatoes are hard-earned, so enjoy the ones you can. I encourage you to swing by Goose the Market on an upcoming Thursday for a dish that's literally glistening with the flavors of a Hoosier summer. Bring your own bug bites. What: Burrata salad, $13 every Thursday while tomatoes are in season Where: Goose the Market, 2503 N. Delaware St., (317) 924-4944, In case that's not your thing: Sandwiches are the name of the game at Goose the Market. Sliced-in-house cold cuts and a variety of toppings adorn Amelia's bread on daily offerings like the Goose (prosciutto, mozzarella, basil, olive oil and pepper, $14) and the Batali (capocollo, soppressata, provolone, romaine, marinated red onions and tomato preserves, $14). There are also rotating daily specials, with vegetarian versions typically available. Broad Ripple Chips, gelato and cans of craft beer round out the menu.

How nuclear submarines actually work, according to a former commander
L. David Marquet is a former US Navy Captain and author who served in the submarine force for nearly three decades. Marquet graduated from the US Naval Academy at the top of his class in 1981, during the height of the Cold War, and served on multiple submarines. He captained the USS Santa Fe from 1999 to 2001, transforming it from one of the one of worst-performing in the US fleet to the highest ranked. Marquet breaks down the logistics of operating and living on these massive weapons of war, as well as the torpedoes and missiles that make up the US arsenal amid increased geopolitical tensions with China and Russia. Following his time in the Navy, in 2013, Marquet published the best-selling book "Turn the Ship Around," detailing his time on the Santa Fe. Since then, he's worked as a leadership expert, speaking at companies such as Google. He published an additional book, "Leadership is Language," in 2020, and has an upcoming book, "Distancing," releasing in August 2025. Visit his author page here.
