In 1908, the Prairie Club, a nonprofi t, Chicago- based volunteer organization, began to organize hikes in the Indiana Dunes for city dwellers who wanted to escape the noise and pollution of their urban habitat for a walk in the woods along a quiet lakeshore. In 1922, the group purchased land in the dunes area, building a lodge and cabins where members could spend summer days away from the city. They established a Wild Flower Club and a Conservation Committee. In 1905, U.S. Steel purchased land on the lake- shore and began leveling sand dunes to create its fi rst Midwestern operation, what would become the world’s largest steel mill. The city of Gary was founded in 1906, named after Elbert Gary, a found- ing chairman of the corporation, to offer housing and infrastructure for mill workers. What before 1900 was a quiet sandy wasteland, not useful for farming or much of anything else, not was seen by industrialists as prime real estate with rich resources such as sand, wood and water.

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.

Hikers will follow the Pinhook Trail System that features two different habitats. The bog trail was created when a large piece of ice broke off the re- treating glacier. The Upland Trail, highlighted by a beech and maple forest atop the moraine, was formed more than 15,000 years ago. The bog is located south of Michigan City at 946 Wozniak Road.

DREAM HOMES START WITH DREAM SERVICE. Mary Vrska Mortgage Advisor (219) 929-8950 NMLS# 586279 HorizonBank.com THE Page 36 June 27, 2019 “Captured Moments” Exhibit to Debut at Chesterton Art Center “Captured Moments,” a new exhibit featuring works by Debra Simanski, Sharon Goodall and Su- san Brandstetter, opens Monday, July 1, at Chester- ton Art Center, 115 S. Fourth St. Continuing through the month, an opening re- ception is from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 13. Simanski is a lifetime artist working out of her Porter Beach studio. A third generation here, her grandparents, George (a Chicago architect famous for his Catholic Church designs) and Nell Mamroth Smith were two early Dune Acres residents begin- ning in 1946. Her father is the late Dune Acres art- ist and resident George S. Smith Jr. Prior to retirement, she owned a graphic arts business in Plymouth. For more than 40 years, she designed logos, newspaper/magazine ads, display materials, catalogs and promotional campaigns for small businesses, corporations and political cam- paigns. Although she favors painting with oils, this exhibit, which emphasizes her love of the Dunes, features many acrylic paintings done over the last fi ve years. Goodall’s love of art began while growing up in Northwest Indiana. At a young age, she learned to draw from her father. Throughout her school years, she learned many forms of art, including drawing, ceramics, fi ne art and art history. Now retired from a 30-year career with UPS, oil painting is her pri- mary focus. She also recently joined Duneland Plein Air Painters. A mermaid piece by Susan Brandstetter. Brandstetter and her family are longtime Porter Beach residents. She graduated in 1997 from the University of Illinois in Chicago with a degree in business administration. With no formal art train- ing, she fell into welding by taking a class at Ivy Tech. This led to her creating metal sculptures. Many of her inspirations come from children’s drawings, mosaics, family pets, nature, friends and old-time fi ddle music. The exhibit will feature pieces using recycled bot- tle caps and mosaic tiles. Visit www.chestertonart.com for more details.
