Peace of mind Opportunities to experience yoga abound in the Fort

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.

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.

Several breweries and

wineries in the community have started offering events where patrons can combine wine or beer drinking with the practice of yoga.

Eck has been to such an event at Two-EE’s Winery See PEACE, Page 10

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, capturing images as well.

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 See HOMER, Page 3

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.

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, 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 See ARTIST, Page 3

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 private home. Photos of the Catskill location and home will also be on

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

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. 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.

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 added into either the sock or the dishwashing solution.

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.

THE LEAK-PROOF BAG

Experiment from Science Central Items needed:

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

Fill the zipper-lock bag between half and ¾ full with water.

Hold the pencil in one

hand and the top of the bag in the other hand. Slowly but firmly, push one of the sharpened pencils through one side of the bag. Push the pencil through the other side of the bag. Do not push the pencil all the way through either side of the bag — as soon as the eraser 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 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.

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-tofork 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.

Experiment from Science Central Items needed:

PHOTO PROVIDED

Fort Wayne native Matt Hamilton speaks as a guest chef during a dinner in Bastrop, Texas, at a time when he was working at Bastrop Cattle Company. For the past several months, Hamilton has been traveling around the country learning about the food system.

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.”

2018 Senior Saints Concerts Free and open to the public

Presenting Friendship...Aged to Perfection

Instructions:

Pour enough milk into a petri dish to cover the bottom.

Drop one drop of each food coloring onto the milk in three different locations.

Use the eyedropper to squirt a small amount of dishwashing detergent into the milk.

Don’t stir the milk; it isn’t necessary. The colors will swirl on their own as soon as the detergent contacts the liquid.

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.

Students help business design clothing protectors

By Bridgett Hernandez bhernandez@kpcmedia.com

Middle school students at Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School recently helped a local company design a line of clothing protectors for young people with disabilities.

Live On Goods makes clothing protectors that give individuals an alternative to wearing a bib and help wearers “dine with dignity.” Helen Nill is one of four partners who design the clothing protectors called bonTops.

The clothing protectors are made out of stain-resistant and waterproof fabric.

They are also fashionable and designed to blend in with the wearer’s outfit.

Some look like dress shirts or flowy blouses.

Nill said the partners originally designed the tops with older adults in mind — seniors and people with disabilities like Parkinson’s disease and ALS. However, they quickly realized that the product could be useful for people of all ages who might need some help keeping their clothes clean during meals, such as individuals with cerebral palsy who have difficulty with bodily movements and trouble swallowing.

According to the product’s designer, it is intended to replace a bib and help individuals “dine with dignity.”

stylish clothing protectors on the market — many resemble shower curtains, Nill said. People, especially teenagers, want to fit in and that’s hard to do if that’s your only choice, she added.

Nill said the company wanted to design a line for tweens and teens, but they realized that they didn’t know what that age group likes. The partners reached out to a science teacher at Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, Jodi Jump, who put a focus group together (five girls and five boys) to help the company figure out what designs and fabrics the

middle school students liked.

Later, the middle school students voted for their favorite sample.

Eighth-grader Kendall Arnold said the tween designs help people fit in and feel more comfortable and confident.

“It’s something for people to wear to look dignified and look like any other person so that they don’t feel different in any way and they can just be comfortable with what they’re wearing and how people look at them,” she said.

Jack Ellis, who will

enter the ninth grade this year, said he felt like he was making a difference by contributing to the project.

After learning about the people who could benefit from the clothing protectors, the students raised money to purchase the tops to donate. They sold popcorn and had a “dress down day” when students could pay to wear something other than their school uniform.

The students purchased 20 bonTops and donated them to Camp Red Cedar.

The camp caters to children and adults with disabilities as well as children without disabilities.

The camp, which hosts both day programs and sleepaway camp, offers campers the opportunity to participate in a variety of outdoor activities including swimming and horseback riding.

The camp places an emphasis on inclusion, said Karen Shollenberger, vice president of Benchmark Human Services.

“That’s when the magic really starts happening — when kids start interacting with each other and are able to be together and help each other out. They all learn from each other,” she said.

The campers do everything together, including meals. Camp Red Cedar Director Carrie Perry said the campers have appreciated the donated clothing protectors. One camper named Jimmy liked his so much that he took it home with him.

Perry said Jimmy usually wore a traditional bib, but when he saw the stylish clothing protector, his eyes lit up.

“He just had the biggest smile on his face,” she said.

“SURVIVOR” STAR TO SPEAK AT TRIBUTE DINNER

Cancer survivor Chad Crittenden, who appeared on the 2004 season of “Survivor: Vanatu,” will be the featured speaker for the 14th annual Tribute Dinner.

Hosted by Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana, the Tribute Dinner is a time to honor people touched by cancer and the caregivers and medical professionals in the community. The fundraiser helps provide support to local people with cancer in 11 northeast Indiana counties.

As a husband, father and cancer survivor of more than 10 years, Crittenden will share how to overcome obstacles and finding the will to survive.

He underwent an amputation of his right foot after a cancerous tumor was discovered. He would go on to compete as the first amputee on “Survivor.” Crittenden has continued to compete in triathlons, snowboarding, marathons and mountain-climbing.

The Tribute Dinner will take place at 6 p.m., Wednesday Sept. 5 at Parkview Mirro Center for Research and Innovation, 10622 Parkview Plaza Dr., Fort Wayne.

Admission is $100 for an individual ticket,

which includes one tribute that will be displayed onscreen and in the program; $800 for a reserved table of 8, which includes up to eight tributes; and $25 for an individual tribute submission. Go to www. cancer-services.org to purchase tickets.

Aging out

By Bridgett Hernandez bhernandez@kpcmedia.com

Young people aging out of foster care face greater barriers to adult success, according to data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

These barriers include experiencing homelessness, becoming a parent

before the age of 21 and facing incarceration.

A Fort Wayne church is helping young people overcome such barriers with a program that gives them the support and tools they need to succeed as adults.

Four years ago, Wallace Butts, senior pastor at Love Church, began laying the

foundation for Forever Family, a three-year residential, business and entrepreneurial training program.

Residents are immersed in a “family-style” environment.

Waste facility to open south of Huntertown

By Louis Wyatt lwyatt@kpcmedia.com

In an effort to create more opportunities for hazardous waste disposal outside of the yearly Allen County Tox-Away Day, the Allen County Department of Environmental Management has launched a weekly household hazardous waste drop-off program just south of Huntertown.

“We’re hoping this will be a step forward in trying to give people a place and a way to discard those items properly,” said Tom Fox, director of the Allen County Department of Environmental Management.

Prior to the passage of a state law that allowed local county governments to absorb solid waste management districts, Tox-Away Day was headed by the Allen County Solid Waste Management District in

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.

a parking lot on Meyer Road between Fort Wayne and New Haven the first Saturday after Labor Day each year. The county’s waste management district became the Allen County Department of Environmental Management effective March 1 of this year. Since then, the department has been seeking ways to meet the needs of Allen County’s growing population.

“What we’ve been trying to do is evaluate all the existing programs to try and see which ones are still valid, how we can update and tweak what was already there and see what new (programs) we can initiate,” Fox said. “We’re kind of doing a top-tobottom analysis of the whole department.”

That, coupled with the sale of the Meyer Road property, prompted the department to begin looking for ways to make a

disposal site more available to residents.

While Tox-Away Day met that need to a certain extent, household hazardous items could only be disposed of one day out of the year.

“We thought with a population of 300,000, a weekly program would be something that would really meet the needs of citizens, and hopefully we would be able to get even more hazardous items out of the waste stream,” Fox said.

Tox-Away Day serviced an average of about 1,000 cars each year, and ACDEM hopes the weekly program will boost yearly numbers and discourage residents from disposing of items in an unsafe manner.

“One of our main missions is just to limit all things, as much as possible, going to the landfill — hazardous or otherwise — to prolong the life of the landfill,” Fox 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. You do whatever you feel comfortable with and just remember to have fun with it,” she said.

The new program, Tox-Away Tuesday, will take place at a newly refurbished facility at 2260 Carroll Road. Drop-offs will be accepted 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Tuesday.

Residents are asked to enter via Recovery Road off S.R. 3 just north of Byron Health Center. A sign can currently be seen outside the entrance, but ACDEM has more on order from the Indiana Department of Transportation, which Fox said the department hopes will be up by the time the facility opens to the public.

The cost is $5 per vehicle depending on the items.

Propane tanks, for example, will cost $10, which is the most any vehicle will be charged, Fox said. There is a 50-pound limit for each vehicle. Residents will have to provide a zip code to verify their residence.

After items are received, employees will separate

them in a staging area out of public contact. Collected materials will then be taken to an onsite, secured safety storage facility. After the department receives a sufficient quantity of each item, contractor Veolia North America, a national environmental consulting company, will transport items to various processing facilities to be recycled or disposed of.

“They do a lot of these types of events around the country and they have a great deal of expertise, so they’ll be working with us very closely through the process,” Fox said, adding that he hopes the weekly program will cut down on the long lines associated with Tox-Away Day. The facility also hosts a similar program for small businesses on Thursdays.

For more information on that program, businesses can call (260) 449-7878.

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.

Quimby Village gets a second lease on life

By Linda Lipp llipp@kpcmedia.com

The successful renovation and reopening of the Clyde Theatre on the south side of Fort Wayne is spilling over as renewed interest in the rest of Quimby Village, the neighborhood shopping center in which the theater is located.

Commercial real estate broker Neal Bowman, of CBRE/Sturges, said the center is getting a lot of interest from medical providers, traditional retailers and even craft brewery operators who want to piggyback on the $9 million investment in the theater restoration project as well as the “relaxed atmosphere” of the greater Foster Park neighborhood, known affectionately by the last two numbers of its zip code: ‘07.

The potential redevelopment of the former General Electric campus on Broadway, a little north of the shopping center,

as the multiuse Electric Works, is also a draw, Bowman said.

Located on Bluffton Road, just off Broadway, Quimby Village was built in the 1950s and its low, blocky design very much reflects that time period.

Like the art deco Clyde Theatre, which opened in 1951, the center takes its name from its creator, Clyde Quimby.

The theater closed in the 1990s and it and the center had both fallen into disrepair until Fort Wayne resident Rick Kinney decided to acquire the property a few years ago. Sweetwater Sound founder Chuck Surack and his wife, Lisa, came on board as investors and gave the Clyde renovation and restoration project the injection of capital it needed to go forward.

“Obviously, the combination of funding and influence coming from the Sweetwater machine helped,” Bowman said.

The project also got a $1 million grant from

LINDA LIPP

There’s new interest from potential tenants in Quimby Village, the south-side shopping center that is home to the Clyde Theatre, since the old movie theater reopened as a live music and entertainment venue in May.

the area’s Regional Cities Fund, controlled by the Northeast Indiana Regional Development Authority.

Stretching out in both directions from the Clyde, the center measures more than 100,000 square feet.

Some of its occupants, including La Fogata, a Mexican restaurant; the NAPA Auto Parts and a Salvation Army thrift store actually own their own and/or adjacent spaces in a sort of condo arrangement. A limited liability

corporation controlled by the Suracks holds the rest, leaving about 33,000 square feet of space that is now available to lease, Bowman said. “It’s a unique situation.”

The LLC’s holdings include storefronts and

the space at one end of the shopping center that housed the Village Bowl, which closed several years ago.

The Clyde opened in May and Bowman and Rebecca Worrell, also of CBRE/Sturges, began marketing the center shortly afterward. The Suracks have specified that they are not interested in leasing to certain types of users, such as tattoo parlors or liquor stores. What they hope to attract are local businesses that would complement the Clyde’s operations, Bowman said.

Users that require parking during the day, leaving the lot open for visitors to the Clyde in the evening, would also work well, he added.

The old bowling alley is a little problematic, however. It would have to be completely gutted to be prepared for another use. It may eventually be torn down to create more parking area.

Monarch festival puts threatened butterflies in spotlight KPC News Service Conservation nonprofit Little River Wetlands will host the Monarch Festival 1-5 p.m. Sept. 9 at Eagle Marsh Nature Preserve, 6801 Engle Road, Fort Wayne.

Through this event, Little River Wetlands hopes to bring attention to the threatened Monarch butterflies, which travel more than 28,000 miles from Mexican forests to Canada each year.

The butterflies’ annual migration has been called one of the greatest natural phenomena in the insect world. This long-distance, multigeneration migration – and the part area gardens and preserves

play in reducing the threats to monarchs – is the focus of the 2018 Monarch Festival at Eagle Marsh.

“Our goal for the Monarch Festival is to help people learn about these butterflies, have fun along the way, and understand how they can help in conserving their habitat,” said Amy Silva, executive director of the nonprofit.

Highlighting monarchs’ life cycle and transformation, the Monarch Festival includes a variety of programs and activities including displays of live monarchs at different stages of their life cycle; Monarch butterfly tagging prior to release; and

educational presentations, outdoor learning stations and hands-on activities for all ages Local author Kylee Baumle will sign her award-winning book, The Monarch: Saving Our Most-Loved Butterfly.

The festival will also feature hikes on interpretive trails lined with tall native wildflowers to watch these butterflies nectaring or roosting almost close enough to touch.

Visitors will be offered varieties of milkweed, the only plant on which monarchs lay their eggs, to plant either at Eagle Marsh or take home.

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.

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.

to live in dorms, learn from master teachers and enjoy the city.

Students come from across the country, including Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, North Carolina, North Dakota,

Poll finds strong support for Electric Works KPC News Service A public opinion poll commissioned by Greater Fort Wayne Inc. found 86 percent of respondents had a favorable view of the Electric Works redevelopment project.

Four hundred people, of the 600 included in the survey, responded online or on the phone.

The poll conducted by Campos Research and Strategy included a cross section of Fort Wayne residents.

“The community support for Electric Works is unprecedented for an economic development project in Allen County,” said Andrew Thomas, board chair at Greater Fort Wayne Inc., which has been a strong proponent of the project.

“It speaks to the impact Electric Works will have

Over the course of the program, residents learn marketable skills and gain certifications. Upon

in growing jobs, growing wages and growing the economy while giving new life to one of our community’s historic landmarks. I believe that these buildings have more to contribute to our community. This is an opportunity to elevate our entire region, and it’s obvious that people are excited to see Electric Works become a reality.”

Other key findings from the study include: • 67 percent of all respondents support local public funding for Electric Works, with 68 percent of Fort Wayne residents and 58 percent of Allen County residents outside Fort Wayne supporting.

• 89 percent of respondents believe that economic development is important to them personally. graduation, the program helps youth find jobs or internships and homes in the community around the church.

“By helping these young people get established and planting them in this community, we believe that will transform this neighborhood and these young people at the same time,” Butts said.

In addition to helping residents become career ready, the therapeutic environment helps them heal, he said. That means helping them work through what he calls “trigger points” – experiences that bring up feelings or memories of childhood trauma.

For example, Butts said, an individual throws their hat in for a promotion and he or she is in competition with coworkers.

“If they don’t get that job, not only are they disappointed about not getting that job, but it brings up memories of rejection,” he said.

In a real world job environment, if the employee has an outburst or his or her performance begins to suffer, the individual might be fired without a chance to explain what’s going on, Butts said. The Forever Family program is designed to teach individuals job skills as well as strategies for overcoming behaviors.

working with his adoptive family to rebuild their relationship. He helps out with several projects around the church, but his focus has been in the church’s IT department. He helps the church refurbish old computers and resell them.

Josh said the program has helped him get to know himself. He said he could have sworn he was an introvert, but he realized that he’s actually an extrovert.

“I’m a huge people person. Relationships are important to me,” he said.

The hardest part of the program has been slowing down and looking inward, he said.

He describes the program as helping kids get their lives together “from the inside out.” At first, he was focused on his future plans, but he realized that he had to work on himself in order to achieve those.

“I don’t like looking into myself because that means I have to see the good, bad and ugly. All my life, I’ve gotten used to only seeing one – sadly, usually the ugly,” he said.

“Figuring out how to change stuff – that takes a lot of energy.”

Josh said he’s looking forward to a job in IT, but someday, he would like to return to Russia.

He feels called to work with Russian youth, possibly orphans.

Aging out

The program currently serves four young adults.

It’s a new initiative, so no residents have graduated yet, Butts said.

However, Josh, 21, has been in the program for about two years.

Adopted from Russia as a child, Butts said Josh had a difficult time acclimating to his new family and was placed in foster care. Unfortunately, Butts said, this narrative is not unique.

Out of the four residents, two were adopted from abroad and three were previously adopted and ended up in foster care at some point.

For this article, Josh preferred not to use his last name because he is

Changing track

Serving youth who have aged out of the foster care system is a departure from Love Church’s former mission which included providing food and clothing distribution. While these meet essential needs, Butts

shopping, restaurants and entertainment venues.

• 90 percent of respondents were favorable toward a public market at Electric Works.

• 90 percent of respondents were favorable toward educational space for K-12 and higher education at Electric Works. “(These) poll results demonstrate conclusively that public and private investment and revitalization and renewal are the principal reasons city and county residents support Electric Works,” Marty McGough of Campos said in the study’s executive summary. “They see the redevelopment as a unique opportunity to transform a decaying landscape into a new and thriving neighborhood.”

said that these ministries only offered temporary solutions.

“Bread is a Band-Aid. Clothes are a Band-Aid. They’re not helping to change the dynamic. I wanted to do something that was going to affect generations,” he said.

It’s been a tough transition. Support has been slow, Butts said.

“When we drew the line in the sand and said we’re not taking any more food, half of our support dropped off,” he said.

People understand handing out bread, he said, but the church’s new focus is more complex and not a problem that can be solved overnight.

However, the church has been holding awareness events each year and people are coming around to the idea, he said.

Butts said the program currently has the capacity to serve six additional young adults. While Forever Family is a Christ-centered program, he said that youth don’t have to be Christian to become residents. Individuals age 16-24 are selected for the voluntary program through an interview process. The program is unable to accept sex offenders or felony offenders.

In a few years as the program becomes more established, Love Church hopes to launch a capital campaign to renovate the church campus. The changes would allow the program to expand to serve up to 50 residents.
