Peace of mind By Bridgett Hernandez bhernandez@kpcmedia.com

In 2011, Laura Eck was a stressed out nursing school student. She had heard that yoga was good for relieving tension, so she decided to pick up an instructional DVD and give it a try. She liked the way it made her feel. She felt like her mind was clearer and her body was stronger. Doing it in the morning helped set a positive tone for her day. “I really fell in love with it,” she said. Eck graduated from nursing school and became a registered nurse. Eventually, she went on to become a certified yoga instructor. She wanted to share the practice with others. Today, she serves as a wellness coach at Parkview Health. The health network offers

employees several opportunities to drop in to outdoor classes before or after their shift. Practicing yoga is beneficial for an individual’s emotional, mental and physical health, Eck said. It can help with stress management, relieve tension, build strength and balance, aid in weight loss and improve cardiovascular and respiratory health, she said. Mind, body and spirits

Eck has noticed that yoga has become a lot more popular since she started practicing about seven years ago. “It has really grown, and I think it’s because there’s more opportunities to practice yoga than just going to a yoga studio, which can be intimidating to a lot of people,” she said.

Huntertown is on the precipice of a milestone 100 years in the making. Less than a month from today, the Huntertown Fire Department will celebrate one century of service to the community. In the early 1900s, the citizens of Huntertown saw a need for a fire department after several homes and businesses were destroyed by fire. By 1917 the first unofficial department was formed, and the Huntertown Fire Department was officially incorporated in 1918 — the same year the world saw the end to the first World War.

Arts & Culture Artist uses paper and color as tools to heal By Gwen Clayton gclayton@kpcmedia.com

Julia Guerin is an elementary school art teacher and artist with

Parkview Healing Arts. The program integrates literary, movement, music and visual arts into patient care, healthcare facility

design and esthetics. Read on to learn about how Guerin found herself doing this work and what exactly a healing artist

does. How did you get involved with Parkview Healing Arts?

I’ve done some work

with Wunderkammer Company and Dan Swartz. He heard about it through his friend Alison Gerardot and she was one of the founding people at Dance Collective. She asked him if he knew any artists who would be good for this and he said, “Julia.” She called me and I went in for an interview and was hired. It was about five years ago. How often do you do this?

We each have about six and a half hours a week based off the grant and the program. I started out six weeks on and six weeks off and then they took it to every week as the program went on. I just found as a full-time art teacher, I wasn’t able to handle six and a half hours on top of my 40 hours a week, so I do about two and half hours a week. I found that’s a sustainable number for me and still feel really happy about coming in here. What is it that you like about this?

I love that I get to meet

new people. It’s also very unique. There’s really no other place where you get to walk into a room with somebody and just start talking. I have met so many people that I never would have met otherwise. It’s not like you walk on the street and start having conversations magically. I feel like in this space, people just open up and you’re there to hold space for them for whatever they need. A lot of people don’t have anybody coming to visit them in the hospital. I’ve had a couple people who have gone through traumas right before I was there. I just happened to go into the room at the right time and was able to hold space and be that ear to listen. I go into open rooms but I talk to the nurses first, usually and ask who they think I should see. I’m sure to tell them, “don’t just give me the easy ones. Is there anyone you feel needs some sunshine?” A lot of times they’ll say, “don’t go to that one; they’re grumpy” and I’ll say, “no, See ARTIST, Page 3

that’s who I want to see” because at least more than half of the time, when I walk into a room and somebody’s super grouchy, somehow I can get things moving if they open up a little bit and I’ll leave and put a smile on their face. That’s my goal. It’s not to get them to create something specifically, but it’s to make their time here a little bit better. That’s giving them back a little bit of control that they didn’t have in a hospital setting. It’s been cool. I’ve been able to do little tiny art lessons with people. I’ve been able to draw pictures for people and then a lot of times nobody will want to do anything but if I draw something for them and they color it in then I’ve gotten them into their mindful brain to be able to have some of that healing happening. What is Frankenfuzzies?

Frankenfuzzies is my brand of creation where I take gently used stuffed animals or sometimes not even used at all. They just happened to not sell at all. They just happened to end up at Goodwill. Instead of those eventually ending up in a garbage dump, I take the ones that are still nice and take them home, wash them, and then I take them

apart and rearrange them in new and different ways to create strange creatures. I give them names and little backstory personalities on their tags. They’re one-of-a-kind creatures. There will never be more than one like it because I never find more than one of the same animal. They come to life and have fun. Adults and children love them because they’re a conversation starter. I’m also a painter. I love to do literally any type of art. I’m going to try batik next, I think. Is there anything else you want people to know about art therapy or what you do?

Art is for everyone, even

if it means you’re going to color something. Everyone can color something and that gets you out of your talking brain and into your concentration brain. It turns off that flow of that stress hormone, Cortisol, that makes you anxious and attacks your organs and is all-around bad for you. This sort of turns off that faucet and allows it to come out and detox so you’re able to calm down. You’re able to heal better. That’s why there’s all these little coloring books on the market right now. People have found that it works. Even if you’re not able to sit down and draw something, you are able to sit down and color something.

Homer exhibit comes to FWMoA By Louisa Danielson For IN|Fort Wayne publications

Fort Wayne Museum of Art is hosting an exhibit titled “Winslow Homer: From Poetry to Fiction, the Engraved Works.” It will be open through Sept. 23. “We’ve done a pretty heavy roster of ultra-contemporary [works] this year,” Charles Shepard, president and CEO of FWMoA, said. “[I thought,] let’s rein that in a bit and bring in something classic.” In the hunt for the right exhibit, Shepard searched for works that had good public name recognition, and that offered a touch of thoughtful contemplation to the viewer.

“This is an interesting time in American history,” he explained. “Everyone has a strong sense of sentimentality, when things were simpler, better.” According to the news release for this display, pieces in this exhibit are engravings from the 1850s through the 1870s, which makes them a good match for these criteria. Shepard was careful to point out that Homer was not romanticizing life in his illustrations: he was actually “reporting” what things were like at that time. Shepard gave this example: while photographers were on the war front during the Civil War, illustrators were also on the front lines,

As explained in the press information, newspapers did not start publishing photographs until 1873. Instead, illustrations were printed in publications like magazines and newspapers during the Civil War. Homer was one of those combat illustrators, and his piece “The Army of the Potomac: a Sharpshooter on Picket Duty” is one that was made during the Civil War. “People in art school today wouldn’t even think of (going to the combat front) unless they were photographers,” Shepard pointed out. Homer, however, was an artist who worked in many venues. The art pieces in the FWMoA display, according to the press release, were completed when the artist was between 19 and 39 years old. During that time, he was an illustrator for the magazines Harper’s Weekly and Every Saturday. In 1875, Homer quit being a freelance illustrator to concentrate on his work as a painter. “Some of (Homer’s) paintings are so well known and beautifully colored that we might not be sensitive to the fact that he did (a wide variety of) work,” Shepard explained. Engravings in the display are from the first third of Homer’s career, a time when he was “getting his strength, stretching his wings,” as Shepard put it. Homer illustrated everything from poetry and literature to rural life, children at play and seaside scenes. Of special note is Homer’s piece, “Snap the Whip,” which will be on display at the FWMoA. The illustration of this image appeared in Harper’s Weekly in September of 1873. Inspired by time Homer spent in the Catskill Mountains, this engraving depicts children playing in front of a rural schoolhouse. The schoolhouse is still standing today, and has been converted into a

Photos of the Catskill location and home will also be on display in this exhibit. When asked if engravings are easier to transport than other works of art, Shepard said that they are. Paintings, for example, can be very large and can have elaborate and heavy frames. Moving each large work is too much for a human crew, so a tractor is brought in. Unfortunately, this isn’t always good for the painting. Shepard recalled a time when he was working at the University of Maine and he saw a forklift accidentally spear a painting it was trying to lift. (This was the only time Shepard ever saw such a thing happen, he said.) Engravings, on the other hand, are smaller and do not have frames that are so hard to lift. They are also of more uniform size — Shepard estimated that some Homer pieces are about 9x14 inches. Art of this size can be moved by human hands. Homer works that will be on display at the FWMoA will include wood engravings, watercolors and drawings. The variety of Homer’s subject material on display here will be a quick glimpse of how America appeared during the last half of the nineteenth century. “It’s a quiet but powerful show that will pull the viewer in,” Shepard said.

A motorcycle and a mission Fort Wayne native learning about food, farming on cross-country trip By Megan Knowles mknowles@kpcmedia.com

One day, Fort Wayne native Matt Hamilton wants to own his own farm-to-fork restaurant in Washington state. Right now, however, it’s not about the destination, but the journey he’s been on to get there. Learning to cook

Hamilton first fell in love with food through his parent’s Ice Cream Express food truck when he was a child. “Instead of chores around the house we would work the truck,” he said. “I guess I’ve been in the food industry since I was 6 years old.” As he grew up, he worked as a dishwasher, a server and for 5 Star Distributing, cooking for himself on the side. “My food was awful but I enjoyed it — I was learning and I would research stuff and I kept trying different recipes and I’d figure out how to do it,” he said. The creativity and art

he saw in kitchens and on shows like “Hell’s Kitchen” drew him into the world of fine dining, which led him to study at Le Cordon Bleu in Chicago. His first kitchen job was “making salads” at Quince in Evanston, Ill., as well as at a recreational cooking school called the Chopping Block. He flew out to run a restaurant in Alaska for a year, then came back to Chicago to work at 42 Grams. After that, he moved to Seattle to work for James Beard Award-winning chef Tom Douglas. Changing everything

As he was making his way in the restaurant business, Hamilton saw a TedTalk by Dan Barber about sustainable animal care and farming practices. He then read Barber’s book “The Third Plate: Field Notes on the Future of Food” on the same topic. “It blew my mind,” Hamilton recalled. “I think that book really changed, for me, everything.” He began to look at the

food he served, and his role as a chef, in a new way. “As a chef I feel like a steward, and we’re kind of on the front lines. If anyone’s going to get people to eat healthier and think about where their food comes from, I think as chefs we have a responsibility to do what we can to push it toward that,” Hamilton said. For more than seven years Hamilton had talked about doing a cross-country motorcycle trip. This goal gave that trip even more focus. “Let’s see the country,” he thought to himself. “I want to see the other side of the food system, see farms and ranches, and what better way to do that than on a motorcycle?” The trip

Hamilton bought a bike for $500 that “didn’t even run,” and over about 18 months, fixed up the motorcycle and planned his crosscountry voyage. Starting in Seattle with $3,000, he knew the money wouldn’t get him far, he said.

Fortunately, his time as a student in Chicago instilled in him a work ethic and an ability to try to find work wherever he went. “I basically would hit the pavement and just start going into restaurants and (basically say), please hire me, give me a job,” Hamilton said. Known as “stage” from a French word for apprentice, the habit is common in larger food cities, he said. “Most chefs, most restaurants…it’s all about work ethic, it’s all about your character, that if you show up, you work hard, you don’t burn something more than once, it shows that you really care about what you’re doing and most chefs will take you under their wing and they’ll show you the way,” Hamilton said. “What I’ve learned (from staging is) you gotta put yourself out there.” Not only was this mindset beneficial when Hamilton wanted to learn from restaurants across the country, but also when he worked for the producer side of the food system. He participated in the Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms program, which allows participants to work at farms and ranches for 30 hours a week in exchange for room and board. For six months Hamilton was in Texas through the program, working on the High Rock Ranch outside of Austin with heirloom chickens and free-range organic eggs and on Knopp Branch Farm, who Hamilton said sells their organic produce to seven of the top 10 restaurants in Houston. He also earned a paid internship at Bastrop Cattle Company, which raises

grass-fed beef. “I got to live out my childhood dream of somewhat being a cowboy for a little bit,” Hamilton said with a laugh. “It was an amazing experience.” At these sites, he’d also do landscaping and other side jobs for additional income. But he wasn’t just there to live out childhood dreams and make money, but rather to learn about how to make his future dreams a reality. Hamilton said that while in Indiana he toured the Joseph Decuis farms in Whitley County, learning not only about their husbandry practices but also how much land they need to grow their crops and how many head of cattle they have. Moving onward

Hamilton has been using his experiences to figure out how to create his own place like those he’s worked on, a place that’s about “really serving wholesome, nutritious food coming from your own land,” he explained. For the past several months, Hamilton has taken his motorcycle from Seattle down through California and the southwest, through the southern states and up through North Carolina and Virginia north as far as New York. He then traveled west through Pennsylvania and Ohio, coming home to Fort Wayne and working at Proximo for a couple of weeks.

He will finish his journey through Wisconsin, North Dakota and Montana before returning to Seattle — but only briefly. He actually got another paid internship at Knopp Branch for a year. There, he will oversee the team, do deliveries, work with local restaurant chefs and plan the planting schedule for the farm and orchards. “(I’ll be) really learning how to run a successful farm so then I can hopefully translate those skills into my own piece of land and be able to get that up and running and get a jump start on it,” he said. Though his goal throughout his journey has never waivered, Hamilton said his appreciation for the country has grown greatly. “You meet just amazing people from all walks of life,” he said. “It (may seem) like we’re all so divided and everybody’s angry, but that’s not what I’ve seen traveling across the country. We’re all just getting by and just trying to be happy. It’s inspiring, it makes you feel good.” “I recommend doing something like this to anybody. … When you put yourself out there and you see different cultures and you meet different people that’s going to give you experiences that are going to enrich your life and add to that happiness and hopefully change people for the better and be more cognizant of what people are going through.”

Summer science experiments By Megan Knowles mknowles@kpcmedia.com

Keeping kids busy, entertained and intellectually engaged in the summer can be a challenge for any parent, especially as the summer winds down and many ideas have already been used up. Fortunately, Fort Wayne’s Science Central and the internet provide several easy science experiments to teach children about various topics while giving them something fun to do in the same time. For more summer science experiments for kids, visit http://lemonlimeadventures. com/must-try-summer-science-activities-for-kids/ or do an internet search for easy science experiments for kids.

FIZZING ICE CUBES

CORNERSTONE EXPANDS AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMMING Cornerstone Youth Center will offer after-school programming at Woodlan Junior High School for students grade 7-8 beginning this fall. The school joins New Haven Middle School as a Cornerstone Connections Project site where after-school programs are designed with middle school students in mind. The program offers students a healthy snack, homework help, academic learning center activities and recreation. Learning centers are designed for STEAM enrichment (science, technology, engineering, arts and math). Other available activities include college and career exploration, life skills development and alcohol/drug use prevention. The programming takes place after school until 5:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Cornerstone Youth Center, 19819 Monroeville Road, Monroeville, is in session 3-6 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 3-10 p.m. each Friday. The center welcomes students in grade 7-12.

added into either the sock or the dishwashing solution.

Pour vinegar into a container and drop baking soda ice cubes into the vinegar or pour vinegar over ice cubes.

How does it work?

Bubbles form because of surface tension of water — hydrogen atoms in one water molecule are attracted to the oxygen atoms in another. In bubbles, these enclose a burst of air. When you use a bubble snake, you create hundreds of tiny bubbles.

How does it work?

The fizzing and bubbles come from carbon dioxide, which is created by the acidic vinegar and basic baking soda combining.

THE LEAK-PROOF BAG

Experiment from Science Central Items needed:

• Empty water bottle • Duct tape • Single sock • Dish soap • Food coloring

• Sharpened pencils (the sharper the better) • Zipper-lock plastic bags • Water • Paper towels

Instructions:

Cut off the bottom of the water bottle. Slide the sock over the bottom of the bottle. Use duct tape to secure the sock on the bottle. Pour dish soap into a shallow container with a little bit of water and gently mix. Dip the sock-covered end of the bottle into the solution and gently blow (do not inhale). Food coloring can be

gets past the bag water will spill out of the bag. Repeat with other sharpened pencils. Once you’re finished, hold the bag over a sink and remove the pencils. The water will come pouring out of the holes. How does it work?

Plastic bags are made of polymers, long chains of individual molecules. When you puncture the bags with a sharp pencil, you separate the polymer chains without breaking them. The long chains of molecules then squeeze in tight around the surface of the pencil, preventing a leak.

THAUMATROPES

Experiment from Science Central Items needed:

• Thaumatrope pattern printed on cardstock • Scissors • Tape • Unsharpened pencil Instructions:

Cut out thaumtrope pattern. Tape the right edge of one piece to the right edge of the other. Put the pencil in between the two pictures and bench for her school. Buddy benches are a place where students who are feeling lonely at recess can sit, allowing other children to know they would like someone to play with. Samantha began collecting plastic caps for a bench, and in two months collected enough caps for three benches for her school. Having leftover caps, Samantha wanted to spread the idea to other schools. In May Vance appeared on “The Today Show with Kathy Lee and Hoda,” where Walgreens announced they would be collecting all

tape the other two edges together so they sandwich the pencil. Add tape to the tops and bottoms of the pictures to fasten them to the pencil with the thaumatrope near the top of the pencil. Hold the pencil between your hands and spin it very quickly back and forth. You should see the pictures combine.

How does it work?

Milk consists of a lot of different molecules: fats, proteins, sugars, vitamins and minerals. When you introduce detergent to the milk, several things happen at once: The detergent lowers the surface tension of the liquid so that the food coloring is free to flow throughout the milk. The detergent reacts with the protein in the milk, altering the shape of those molecules and setting them in motion. The reaction between the detergent and the fat forms micelles. As the micelles form, the pigments in the food coloring get pushed around. Eventually equilibrium is reached, but the swirling of the colors continues for quite a while before stopping.

How does it work?

Thaumatropes work due to the persistence of vision. Our eyes and brain keep an impression of an image for a fraction of a second. Because the image is changing so rapidly, our eyes and brain combine it into one image.

MAGIC COLORED MILK

Experiment from Science Central Items needed:

• Petri or shallow dish • Milk • Food coloring in three different colors • Dishwashing detergent • Eyedropper Instructions:

Pour enough milk into a petri dish to cover the bottom. Drop one drop of each of its stock bottle caps in Indiana throughout the end of August. Their donation is expected to be about 15,000 pounds of caps, enough for about 75 buddy benches, said Heidi Vance, Samantha’s mother. The family is asking schools interested in a buddy bench to reach out via the project’s Facebook group, Sammie’s Buddy Bench Project, or email

Heidi Vance at heidivance@ comcast.net by mid-August. The family is also looking to offset the costs of the benches (about $250) with donations so schools don’t have to pay it themselves. Donations are being accepted through a GoFundMe page, gofundme.com/sammiesbuddy-bench-project, by emailing Heidi Vance or on the Facebook page.

organized in 1930. A board of directors was elected and the department’s constitution, which is still in use to this day, was adopted. The first board included three members — President Arthur McComb, Secretary Sylvester Warner and Fire Chief Claude Grim. Throughout the 1930s, the department began identifying a need for better equipment and facilities. In 1942, the department was given the old Huntertown School building, which used to stand on the site of the current fire station. The old building was renovated and modified to store equipment. Around that time, the firefighting businesses transitioned to a focus on science. Many of the techniques and types of equipment invented during that period remain the foundation of the modern fire service. Hand carts and unreliable equipment were replaced, and training was brought to the forefront. Unlike in the past, it was no longer good enough for people to show up, take a truck to a fire and do the best they could. Now, members were required to attend weekly training to learn vehicle extrication, rescue and eventually emergency medical training. In 1955, the Huntertown department was reorganized under the Indiana Nonprofit Incorporation Act as the Huntertown Volunteer Fire Company, leading to the department becoming an operating organization for Perry Township, which provided the housing and maintenance of the equipment. By that time, Huntertown had acquired two pumpers, a tanker, a heavy rescue unit, a rescue boat and a 65-foot Seagraves ladder truck. During the mid-1950s, the emergency medical service began to emerge, and Huntertown began providing EMS service in 1956, following a tragic accident involving a young girl who was struck by a car and killed in town. Her body remained in the street for over an hour before an ambulance from Fort Wayne arrived. In response, Huntertown’s first ambulance went into service within 30 days of the accident. Also in 1956, the department purchased several new pieces of apparatus, including a new International John Beene pumper, a new heavy rescue unit and a new tanker, which earned the nickname “Leakin’ Lena” due its later tendency to leak water after the area’s well water caused it to rust. In the mid-1970s, the department began planning the construction of a new station to sustain the growing fire service. In 1976, the old station was torn down and construction began on the current facility. The new station featured drive-through

The festivities will begin with a swearing-in ceremony — the second of its kind in Huntertown, following the department’s first ever swearing-in ceremony last April. “Traditionally in the fire service, you’re sworn onto the department, and that’s a tradition we wanted to get instilled back in, so we’re going to reinstate everyone through the department and make sure we have due diligence to continue that on from here on out,” Boren said. “So, the 100-year (anniversary) is actually helping us form more traditions to keep this department going for another 100 years.”

UNEARTHING 1918

During the Aug. 11 event, the community will have an opportunity to remember its past, when members of the department unearth a time capsule that was buried outside the station in 1977, the same year the current station was built. The capsule is enclosed in a tower structure just below a cupola, underneath an antique bell, which originally stood atop the Caswell School before it was converted into the original fire station in 1943. The tower structure in which the capsule was enclosed more than 40 years ago remains outside the southwest corner of

the station. Five bricks designate the capsule’s location inside the structure, and town firefighters are currently planning their strategy to remove it. “Probably about a week beforehand, you’ll see us out there practicing. … Being in the fire service, we’ll prepare before we go do that,” Boren said. Until the capsule is unearthed, the contents will remain a mystery, which Boren said makes the whole experience that much more exciting. Removal of the capsule is something Huntertown firefighters have been anticipating since its burial. “We take our heritage very seriously, so the fact that we’ve been here since 1918, that’s the talk that

always goes on, about the time capsule,” Boren said. “Everyone speculates about what’s inside of it. Some people think it’s going to be a lot, some people think it’s going to be a little.” Huntertown Fire Chief Mike Feely is already thinking of items to place in a new capsule, which will be buried for removal in the year 2118. Some of the items he has considered burying include a challenge coin, a membership roster and a written history of the department’s staff. “Then we can see in another 100 years if we’ve grown,” Feely said.

department, with membership including both volunteer and career firefighters, it owes its history to donated time. In order to get the department up and running 100 years ago, the town fathers got together and, through private donations called “popular subscriptions,” raised enough money to purchase two chemical carts that could extinguish fires using a combination of soda, acid and water. The carts were housed in a small building in the back of the McComb and Snyder General Store. When a fire broke out in town, volunteers would tow the carts to the scene using buggies, wagons or automobiles any way they could. Upon the department’s inception, there was no formal organization aside from one officer: William Snyder, owner of the general store that housed the carts, who was appointed chief. Membership was simply made up of a group of men and boys willing to offer their time and services. In 1922, more popular subscriptions allowed for the purchase of a used Ford Model T truck, a painter’s ladder, lanterns, axes and other small tools that were carried on the truck. The

truck was also outfitted with a four-inch alarm bell, which would clang, due to the rough conditions of the roads, and announce the firefighters’ approach. Ironically — and tragically — the department suffered a setback on an extremely cold night in the winter of 1922 when an unattended kerosene heater set fire to the building, destroying everything, including the truck, pump and tools. Perry Township was left without fire protection until 1928, when Township Trustee George Gump purchased a Model A Ford pumper from the Prospect Fire Engine Co. The new vehicle boasted chemical and water tanks, making Huntertown one of the first departments to have both on one apparatus. Local resident Sam Surfus constructed a small building behind the Huntertown School to house the truck, taking care to insulate the building to keep the pump from freezing in the winter. Unfortunately, the pump froze that first winter, cracking its casing. The pump was kept in service and, due to the many chemicals in the water in northern Indiana, sealed itself shut.

in Huntington. For beginners, events like these are more approachable than going to a yoga studio. “It creates an environment where people feel more comfortable, so I think they’re more likely to try it,” she said. Lynne Koepper, co-owner of LaOtto Brewing, shared similar thoughts. “Many of our regular participants did yoga for the first time at one of our beer and yoga events,” she said. Participants are welcome to enjoy a pint before, after or during the yoga session. “Most participants grab a glass of beer to enjoy during yoga. Our instructors work a sip into different poses but you may always reach down and grab a drink when you need it. We have a range of participants from beginners to experienced yogis.

Sarah Evans, a certified Baptiste yoga instructor, started Farm Yoga, a Facebook page where she shares opportunities to practice yoga on a farm. Evans, who teaches at a studio in Fort Wayne, said taking yoga outside the studio has become her passion. She has also organized and taught several

classes that pair practicing yoga with spending time with farm animals. She has taught “equiyoga,” or horse yoga, to raise funds for a nonprofit barn in the area. Recently, she began offering goat yoga classes. After a couple students in her class suggested it, she reached out to her friend Tabby Bane, who raises goats on a farm in Churubusco. “It’s a very relaxed environment and the animals just bring so much light, fun energy and make it such a playful experience that I think people are a

little bit less intimidated to come in and try yoga for the first time,” she said. Participants set up their mats in the backyard and when it’s time to practice, the goats are released from their pen to roam freely around the yard. The goats are very curious, Evans said. They nibble at people’s yoga mats and want to be pet. The little ones have been known to climb under and on top of participants as they practice yoga. “They love being around people. They love checking people out,” she said.

5 things

you need to know about:

Deep Rock Tunnel 1. The rivers are about to get a lot cleaner

Fort Wayne’s deep rock tunnel, also known as the Three Rivers Protection and Overflow Reduction Tunnel, is the biggest public works project in the city’s history. However, the most transformative part of the $240-million project is taking place more than 200 feet underground. The project is an effort to improve river quality and comply with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations. Like more than 700 cities in the United States, portions of Fort Wayne’s sewers (about a third) are combined, meaning they use a single pipe system to carry a combination of sanitary sewage and storm water. During dry weather, the system’s capacity is adequate to carry this wastewater to the sewage treatment plant. But when it rains, the added storm water can cause the system to overflow and wastewater is discharged into the rivers. Like its name suggests, the Three Rivers Protection and Overflow Reduction Tunnel will catch much of this overflow and transport it to the sewage treatment plant and away from the rivers. Read on to learn more or visit fortwaynetunnel.org.

Source: fortwaynetunnel.org

During periods of heavy rainfall or snowmelt, combined sewer systems can be overwhelmed by the volume of wastewater. These sewers are designed to overflow and discharge excess wastewater directly into waterways. These overflows contain not only storm water but also untreated human and industrial waste, toxic materials and debris, according to the EPA. A typical year of rain will trigger the city’s combined sewer overflows to discharge 71 times. The city predicts that the deep rock tunnel project will reduce these overflow events to just four times per year.

2. The tunnel is massive

Located more than 200 feet below ground, the horizontal tunnel will be five miles long, beginning south of Foster Park on the east side of the St. Marys River then running parallel to the river and crossing Swinney Park. After that, it will go through downtown, then run parallel to the Maumee River until it reaches the existing sewage treatment plant located on the Maumee River east of North Anthony Boulevard. The machine being used to excavate the tunnel is 19 feet in diameter. That’s 7 feet wider than a standard lane within the U.S. Interstate Highway System! Upon completion, the tunnel will be 16 feet in diameter and lined with concrete. It will have the capacity to convey about 800 million gallons of water per day.

3. The tunnel boring machine has a name According to Fort Wayne City Utilities, mining tradition warrants naming the 400-foot tunnel boring machine. Residents helped by voting from a list of finalists. The city did not reveal the winning name before this publication’s deadline, but here are a list of the contenders: Bedrock Buster, Daisy the Digger (in honor of Fort Wayne’s professional women’s baseball team during World War II), MaMaJo (a tribute to the three rivers — Ma for St. Marys, Ma for Maumee and Jo for St. Joe) and Wayne the Worm.

4. You might experience construction-related disruptions In some neighborhoods, construction of near surface consolidation sewers will connect existing sewers to the tunnel. According to City Utilities, this will entail the same degree of disruption as a normal sewer construction project, including traffic detours, construction noise, truck traffic, etc. Also, at about nine locations along the route of the tunnel, vertical drop shafts will be built to drop the combined sewage from the consolidation sewers into the tunnel. Visit fortwaynetunnel.org to see a map of the tunnel route. Construction of the tunnel itself will cause very little disruption on the surface, according to City Utilities. The tunnel boring machine will not create noise or any noticeable vibration.

5. Like the tunnel, you can help protect our rivers When it rains, water runs across rooftops, lawns, driveways and streets. It picks up whatever it comes into contact with, including fertilizers, pet waste, oils, insecticides, etc. Small household changes across hundreds of homes can have a positive impact on water quality by reducing runoff amounts and preventing pollution to the rivers. These changes can include picking up after your pet or planting a rain garden. For more information, visit clearchoicescleanwater.org.
