Like most who are passionate about beach glass, you will develop an eye for fi nding hidden gems. A wonderful example of this is Linda Mickevicius, who co-owns Beach Bum Jewels with her daughter, Jamie Slutzken, in Michigan City’s Uptown Arts District. As avid boaters, the Mickeviciuses have friends who lived along the lake. In their home were numerous jars of beach glass, which she recalls think- ing, “OK, I don’t get why that’s exciting.” Enjoying being outdoors and by the water, they eventually began collecting those shards of glass. “We said, wow this is a piece of a coke bottle glass that is really, really old and frosty,” Mickevicius said. “Or this is a red piece that was a taillight from a car, when taillights were glass. Or this is a bottom of a Clorox bottle.”

Uranium Dioxide causes this beach glass to glow under black light in the dark. Now, they were collecting a variety of glass, but it was not until her then young granddaughter found extremely large beach glass at Mount Baldy that they became truly hooked. “When she picked that piece up, it was like, oh my God! That is incredible! It’s so big and turquoise and curved,” Mickevicius said. From then on, there was no turning back. Mick- evicius and her family have been collecting beach glass for nearly 25 years.

Her favorite beach glass are red ones collected by her family along Lake Mich- igan, and the glass Mickevicius collected with her grandchildren when they were little. Those are mementoes she will always treasure, never selling nor turning into jewelry. The awe factor of beach glass can be its shape or size. Add color to the attri- butes and there is the wow factor due to the rarity of certain beach glass colors.

No two pieces are exactly alike. For lifelong Michigan City resident Mary LaBerge, the allure is enjoying the peaceful surroundings, of being on the beach early in the morning. The glass she collected, some she gave to an artist friend. The rest is displayed at home. “When I would hunt for glass it was more of just having down time and not feeling like I was being rushed to be doing something constructive or produc- tive in the summer,” LaBerge said. “I would get up and go to the beach near Whiting.

Five Tips for Taking Care of Your Trees

1. Don’t “top” your trees. Topping is the removal of large branches to reduce the height of the tree. This causes decay that leads to large branch failures in the future. 2. Don’t “spike” your trees. Spiking causes wounds that lead to infection and tree decline. Anyone who spikes trees is causing long-term damage to the trees. 3. Avoid damage to the roots. Large trucks cause soil compaction and digging up roots cause frayed wounds that can’t heal and create access points for pathogens (fungi) that start root rot and weaken the trees structural stability. Lawn mowers can also cause damage to the root flares. 4. Protect the roots out to the drip line from any activity other than foot traffic. The drip line is simply the outside edge of the canopy. On a mature open grown oak, it can be a circle of 60 feet in diameter. 5. Consult an ISA Certified Arborist before doing anything to your tree.
