We just didn’t continue the search.” What’s historically unique about the sunken vessel may be the manner in which the MSRA and predecessor orga- nizations found it. First, Miller decided that earlier unsuc- cessful searchers had been looking in the wrong places. He hatched a plan that would work from known evidence and direct search attention wherever that evidence led. Under construction in 1892, the H.C. Akeley (with derrick near stern) dwarfs a smaller vessel docked alongside it. (Source unknown) Second, to ensure that the new wreck hunt would have a chance of success, he went scientific. Armed with reports showing where and at what times debris from the Chicora had come to rest on the shoreline shelf ice, he contacted two scientists: David Schwab of the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory Jan Miller of the in Ann Arbor, Michigan and Arthur Allen of the U.S. Michigan Shipwreck Coast Guard Research and Development Center in Research Groton, Connecticut. Associates works An informal triumvirate took shape. Computers con- on his projections of likely areas in nected the group’s bases in Holland, Ann Arbor, and which to search for Groton. Miller provided not only all the available the shipwreck later information on the debris finds; he also obtained found some 15 miles off weather reports on conditions on Lake Michigan for Saugatuck, the entire month of January, 1895. That information Michigan. came from the National Climatic Data Center in (Miller photo) Asheville, North Carolina, and included what Schwab needed: detailed data on wind directions and speeds as well as barometric pressures and other informa- tion. The roles played by Miller, Schwab, and Allen over the period of nearly a year were fundamentally dif- ferent. Miller was not only providing weather data along February 20, 2003 Page 3 with detailed information on the debris discoveries; he would take over in the third and final stage. Open ‘til 6 p.m. Miller’s theory was simple: analyzing backward from Evenings the debris finds, he would attempt to map an area in which the Chicora might be found. In effect he would try to run an imaginary film of the entire tragedy in reverse. Schwab and Allen had worked together on other www.littlehousefashions.comElegant Apparel for the assignments. In the Chicora case Schwab would pre- [email protected] Conscious Woman pare computer models showing wind movements, Women’s Apparel wave strengths and heights, and water current pat- terns for the days immediately before and after the ship’s loss. Using Schwab’s models, Allen would do sets of drift simulations. As Schwab has noted, “Allen is an expert on the types of materials that break away when a ship sinks: what are the characteristics of each in terms of how each is affected by the winds and cur- rents? Some things sink, some drift below the surface of the water, some go pretty much with the wind.” By November of 2000 Miller had all the models and simulations. Over several months he worked and reworked possible theories on where the Chicora might have sunk. He had found essential information on the dates, places, and even times of wreckage Spring sightings and recoveries in a book, Chicora: Lost in Lake Michigan, by Kit Lane of the Saugatuck-Douglas Historical Society. What he lacked was critical. The “mystery ship” 2003 Chicora had disappeared with all hands; all 24 men on board had drowned. No one could specify the exact time and date when the waves closed over the wreck.

Miller’s corridor placed the wreck well out in the lake—as far as 12 to 15 miles or more. In 1991 Miller and several asso- ciates had formed the MSRA as an explo- ration and shipwreck preservation group specializing in deep-water missions. If the ship were to be found in the corridor designed by Miller, it would be 200 or more feet below the lake’s surface. Using the services of a professional wreck hunter, the MSRA launched its new search on May 21, 1991. Four days later, in the afternoon of a balmy day, the sidescan sonar brought up images of a sizable wreck. On board the research vessel Laurentian, docked in Muskegon, Michigan, Jan Miller checks out the yellow tether that connects the remote-operated vehicle M-Rover to on-board con- trols. The Laurentian was about to embark on a September, 2002 research voyage to the Akeley-Chicora. The research effort failed to make a positive identification. (Keefe photo) “We all assumed it was the Chicora,” says Miller today. “We were obviously hasty in that judgment. Our dives in 2002 have convinced us that the wreck is the Akeley. “We had used extensive evidence relating to the loss of one ship, the Chicora, and found another. Now we plan to find the real Chicora. Starting in May, 2003, we’ll be using probability distributions developed by Art Allen of the Coast Guard. We’ll go back with the sidescan sonar and try again.

  • Yoga Journal - When Yoga Becomes Psychotherapy 12-08-31 2:35 PM
    Yoga Journal - When Yoga Becomes Psychotherapy 12-08-31 2:35 PM When Yoga Becomes Psychotherapy Learn to spot the boundary between guiding poses and guiding emotions. By Dan Charnas My mother is a psychotherapist. I became a yoga teacher out of that same desire to heal. I was intrigued by yoga's ability to deal simultaneously with body and mind: Emotional issues that might take years to tease out in conventional therapy were instead brought to the surface physically, and causes of physical disease could often be deduced through conversation. For me, the union of yoga and psychotherapy was natural. Students would come to my class not just in need of a physical workout, but often in great emotional pain. For those who stayed after class to talk, I'd spend time listening to their problems and trying to guide them on their healing path. Most times those remedies would be an exercise or meditation. But at other times, I'd speak to them with the bluntness of my teacher, Yogi Bhajan, the Master of Kundalini Yoga, who would often not even let his students finish their sentences before reading their energy and dispensing instructions. I've never gone quite as far as that, but venturing into "therapeutic talking" with my students scares me a bit, partly because it comes to me so easily. I am, after all, just a yoga teacher, trained only in the effects of certain sets of exercises on the body, mind, and spirit. I am not a psychotherapist. I don't have an advanced degree in psychology or social work, nor do I have any training in the clinical detachment that therapists use to guard the people in their care.

Stephen Aizenstat, PhD. President iv March 2002 v Abstract THE YOGA OF EMBODIMENT By Jane Dobson As Eastern forms of yoga continue to gain popularity in the Western world, people flock to yoga studios in droves to practice series of poses-- bending twisting, contorting, inverting, and studying more about the predecessors of their art: most probably, BKS Iyengar and Pattabhi Jois. There is no doubt that yoga practice can be exhilarating, challenging, and highly rewarding. However, after years of study, the author wonders whether such “systems” and “schools” of yoga, such as Iyengar, Astanga, and Power Yoga, work to perpetuate the mind/body split that lies at the basis of many contemporary physical and psychological conditions.
