shopping center. “Wewon’t have to go overrailroad tracks and it’smuch quicker to get to thesouth part of town. It’sreally a much-neededbridge that will maketransportation muchquicker and the safetyaspects for people in NewHaven are tremendous.They used to have a lot oftrouble with trainsslowing down or stoppingemergency vehicles.”

The extension begins atAdams Center Road andNew Haven Avenue/S.R.930, and extends in astraight line north toMaplecrest Road andLake Avenue. Oncecomplete, the four-laneroadway will be lined onthe east side with a 10-foot-wide sidewalk.

Had it not been for thedonation of land justsouth of Maplecrest andLake, the project maynever have happened.State Rep. Bob Morris, R-Fort Wayne, is pushing toname the project’s bridgeover the Maumee Riversomething to honor thedonor.

“Knowing Tom Jehl,the founder of theGeorgetown area, I knowhe would be extremelydelighted to know thatthe bridge is going tohappen,” Morris said in aphone interview. “I thinkit would be very fittingthat they call it theGeorgetown Bridge.(Jehl) donated the land tothe city about 25 yearsago. He was very instru-mental in building thatarea up. It’s very impor-tant to the Georgetownarea.”

Morris will request thebridge name throughcounty council andcommissioners. So far,officials have referred to itas the Maplecrest Roadbridge.

“You know, that’s theway a lot of the peoplerefer to the area — ‘I livein Georgetown,’” Morrissaid.

In its most recentupdate, the Allen CountyHighway Department saidthe extension project isscheduled for completionby November.

these cubicles.”Now, the cubicles act as

an enclosed “intake area,”providing families withmore privacy during adifficult time.

Staff members havethought of everything,really — things not oftenseen at other shelters —like a generous backyardspace for volunteers toplay with the dogs, gettingthem some exercise andinteractivity.

“This is the best part ofthe shelter,” Rodriguezsaid, looking over thebackyard area. “I’vevisited shelters all over thecountry and no one hasthis kind of space. We arereally lucky in this way.”

The ASPCA even hadthe specific needs of catsin mind when theydesigned “colony rooms”in the facility. Some placeskeep cats in cages, but thisshelter allows them toroam in these colonyrooms to be social withone another.

“It’s healthier for themthan to be in the smallercages,” Rodriguez said.With the exception ofcages used for sick felinesor at Petsmart stores wherethe shelter has satelliteadoption centers, cats arefree to interact with othercats matching theirtemperament and age.

Despite coming up withcreative ways to savemoney, the ASPCA is notunlike other shelter opera-tions which rely on theircommunities to continuerunning. Luckily, there area surprising number ofways to help, mainly justby donating unwantedstuff:

The shelter makesmoney by selling used,donated school books onEbay. They take aluminumcans and trade them at alocal recycling facility forcash. Empty paper boxes,likely piled up in everyFort Wayne office, can bereused by the shelter —the lids as disposable kittylitter trays and the boxes asmini “cat houses,” createdby turning the box over

and cutting out a “door”for cats to enter. Old elec-tronics and cell phones canbe turned into the shelterto trade for cash. Cleaningand office supplies, oftenpart of the shelter’s “wishlist” of needed items, canbe donated and used tomaintain their facilities.

But perhaps the mostimportant donations comein the form of food,specifically Purina Onespecial blend for cats andeither a lamb-and-rice orchicken-and-rice blend fordogs. In just one month,the shelter goes through atleast 720 pounds of food.When the shelter facesrunning out of pet foodwithin a week’s time,Rodriguez will put out aplea to the community,asking for pet food dona-tions.

Beyond that, the shelterrelies on monetary dona-tions from the public orgrant money awarded tothe ASPCA.

“The problem is thatnone of those arepredictable, so we’reconstantly in need ofmaking sure we are fillingthat funnel,” Rodriguezsaid, “and making newrelationships or coming upwith new events toincrease awareness.Getting our message out isso important so peoplestart to think of us andthink ‘Oh, we can give

locally.’”For more information on

helping the ASPCA with adonation or to volunteer atthe shelter, go towww.acspca.org, or call744-0454.

Beginning in June, lookfor the ASPCA’s “FeaturedPet” of the month, as wellas their “wish list” ofneeded items, in the Timesnewspapers and online atFWDailyNews.com.

There are about 30million people in thecountry who getmigraines. Migraine painis excruciating and can lastfor days — even weeks —at a time. Migrainesufferers often seek solacein dark, quiet rooms awayfrom strong odors as theybecome very sensitive tolight, noise and smells.They often experiencenausea and vomiting.

Mainstream medicineoffers temporary solutionswith medications but theyare not without side effects.Dr. Mercola, a leader inalternative medicine, said inhis newsletter on migraines,that medications only helphalf of migraine sufferershalf the time. He warns thattaking prescriptionmigraine medications canlead to “ulcers andgastrointestinal bleeding,stroke and heart attack,muscle weakness, dizzinessand nausea.”

Due to these side effects,

migraine sufferers oftenend up seeking naturalforms of healing.

Kelly Loft, internation-ally certified massageinstructor with expertise inhelping those withmigraines, lists on herwebsite common triggers toheadache pain.

They include:Stress/anxiety, caffeine,foods with tyraminesulfates and nitrates, lack offood and low blood sugar,dehydration, alcohol, agedcheeses, semi sweet choco-late, hormonal changes,poor sleep habits andchanges in weatherincluding humidity, baro-metric pressure, andtemperature.

In addition: smokingand/or tobacco productsand nicotine, perfumes orchemical odors, bright orflickering lights, muscletension, altitude, motion(traveling or amusementrides), and more.

As you can see the list oftriggers is long. But nomatter what the cause ortrigger, there is one result.

The blood vessels in thebrain become dilated andpress on nerves, causingpain.

To constrict the bloodvessels and thereby reducepain, migraine sufferers cankeep a cold pack handy toplace on their forehead.Putting a cold gel pack(available at your local drugstore) under the neck alsocan be helpful.

Often people experiencemuscle tension in the shoul-ders and upper back that, ifnot interrupted withmassage or exercise, movesup the head and turns into afull-blown migraine. Amassage therapist can helprelease the muscle tensionand reverse the pain-and-spasm cycle.

In view of this, WellnessOrganix Massage offersspecialized migrainetherapy. The procedureconsists of cold marblestones placed gently onthe face and neck, amedical massage createdby a physician, heattherapy on the feet, reflex-ology and subtle

aromatherapy.The therapy is much less

than a trip to the emergencyroom and, of course, has noharmful side effects.Contact Wellness OrganixMassage at 418-5190 formore information or toschedule an appointment.Online booking makessetting up migrane reliefeasy and convenient.

My clients inspire meevery day with theirsuccesses and willing-ness to change once theysee that their old upwardclimb is not working forthem any longer. Theybegin to push asidebarriers, to experienceand enjoy the ride oftheir life by makingsmall, simple changes,letting go of perfection,overcoming fear, andsaying “yes” to newbehaviors and life experi-

ences.One client expresses

her One-To-One Well-ness Coachingexperience stating, “Ihave such a differentview of myself, becauseI’m in control. My wholelife has changed.”Another explains, “Pamdidn’t just physicallyteach me how to lift adumbbell, she showedme how to lift thebarriers in my life thatwere keeping me fromoptimal health, fitnessand happiness.”

The fact is that nothing, activity, event orother person can make ushappy. We must realizethat the fate of our happi-ness is in our hands. Ifyou feel you areconstantly pushing uphillon your journey, there justmay be a different path toexplore.

What’s new at the zoo?The gates to the Fort Wayne Chil-

dren’s Zoo have officially reopenedfor its 48th season. Behind themawait new animals, upgraded guestamenities and zoo babies, some ofwhich have become Internet sensa-tions and generated a mediafollowing.

Seven dingo puppies born at thezoo on Jan. 30 have made headlinessince photos and videos of the tinycreatures first hit the web. Thepuppies were born to Mattie andNaya, who were imported fromAustralia in 2010 and are one of just75 pairs of pure dingoes worldwide.On most days, the zoo said groupsof puppies and their parents willrotate between their exhibit and abehind-the-scenes pen.

Even though they were born inMay or June of last year, aroundseven kangaroo joeys have justemerged from their mother kanga-roos’ pouches and are now exploringthe Australian Adventure exhibit.The zoo said that all of the joeyswere sired by their only adult malekangaroo, Mako, who joined theFort Wayne Children’s Zoo lastMarch.

For more than 40 years, a group ofsociable and crowd-pleasing rodentsgreeted zoo-goers from an exhibitjust inside the zoo entrance. Theprairie dogs, which were displacedwhen the zoo started planning a newentrance, have returned after a four-year hiatus and are now waiting forguests at a new exhibit.

Though they look like squirrels,the northern tree shrew is closelyrelated to primates. This unusual,new creature can be found in the

Indonesian Rain Forest at Dr. Diver-sity’s Rain Forest Research Station.

Two male kunekune pigs namedElvis and Pugsley have arrived onthe zoo’s Indiana Family Farm.Originating in New Zealand, thisbreed is small, friendly and veryvocal, making them a perfect fit forthis hands-on farm display.

The zoo’s reticulated giraffe herdgrew to eight animals with the addi-tion of a 2-year-old male giraffe,Ezeji, who arrived from the Indi-anapolis zoo over the winter. Ezejiand Jelani, the herd’s bull giraffe,will take turns on exhibit with thefemales.

A few zoo exhibits were given amakeover this spring: the black-footed penguin and Aldabra gianttortoise exhibits received new land-

scaping, fencing and signage toenhance the displays. And thanks tothe zoo’s new food service partner,Service Systems Associates, conces-sion stands have also been upgraded,offering pizza by the slice, wholepizzas, wraps and salads. In keepingwith zoo practices, concessions willcontinue to use biodegradable plates,cups and utensils.

The Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo isopen daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.Tickets for adults cost $13.50; chil-dren ages 2-14 are $8.50; seniorsage 60 or older are $10.50; and chil-dren age 1 or younger are free.Those who purchase a zoo member-ship will also be admitted for free.
