Valley Shopper

Workers drove wagons loaded with metal tubes to the shore where a massive structure lined up with the river piers. Rows of brick arches supported the masonry as it approached the water. From there a web of tubes and braces lifted into the air in a graceful shallow curve much like the suspended metal hanging from the piers.

“Marvelous, isn’t it?” a voice said.

Becky turned to see a woman in a long dress carrying a sketchbook. The woman continued, “I come every day to see the progress. In another week they’ll connect the span between here and the west pier. Do you know Mr. Eads? ”

Becky shook her head.“ No, a-actually I just arrived not too long ago. You seem to know a lot about this though. I’d love to hear more.”

“Certainly. My name is Laura Ascot. I’m an architecture student and artist. I’ve been following the construction for about five years now.”

“Really,” Becky said. “So, when did you start?”

“1868. Most of the work has been out-of-sight, so to speak, until recently. The piers are the key to the bridge design.”

“Why is that?”

“See how everything rests on the piers. The arms coming out from both sides will eventually meet and form the superstructure where trains and vehicles will cross. You’re familiar with how an arch supports weight, surely?”

“I’ve seen arches before,” Becky said, “but I didn’t think about how they support weight, I guess.”

“That’s perfectly alright, dear. An arch supports weight at its top, and the downward force is distributed through the legs to the base. If those legs are not adequately supported, they would simply be pushed out and the entire structure would collapse. Therefore it is critical that the base of each leg is fixed securely so it will not move under pressure.”

“Oh, I see. And the piers form the base for the arch that crosses over the river?”

“They are the base for the span that connects the piers in the middle of the bridge,” Laura said. “The outer spans rest both on the pier and are anchored by masonry abutments on the shore. The abutments are easier

to build because they are on land, and they use large amounts of brick and limestone to ensure they won’t move. There are three spans in total, and all use the principle of the arch to support the weight of the bridge.”

“But the piers are in the middle of the river,” Becky said. “Why don’t they just float away?”

Laura smiled. “That is mostly because of Mr. Eads’ ideas. He became rich rescuing sunken ships from the bottom of the Mississippi River. He used diving bells of his own design to go under the water and bring up the valuables that went overboard. No one knows this river better than Mr. Eads!”

“So he used diving bells to make the piers?”

“A very special kind of diving bell. Would you like hear about it?”

Valley ShopperCandle crafts tap creativity

Crafting is enjoyed by children and adults. Even the most ardent arts and crafts enthusiasts might be surprised to learn that their favorite hobby can offer a number of benefits related to their health and well-being.Research shows that reg-

ularly engaging in crafts can have tangible health benefits. The rhythmic and repetitive movements of certain crafts, as well as the need to focus one's attention, can produce a calm that helps anyone, including those who may experience anxiety, according to health and self-care resource Berke-ley Wellness. In an online study published in the British Journal of Oc-cupational Therapy that surveyed more than 3,500 knitters, researchers found knitting was "soothing" and "restful" and had med-itative or zen-like qualities.The sense of accomplish-

ment after completing a project is another great reason to engage in arts and crafts, which also may boost cognitive health by protecting certain neu-rological pathways in the brain.There are many ways

to engage with arts and crafts. Woodcrafting, painting, mosaic work, and metal arts are some popular activities.

One time-honed craft activity that is good for be-ginners or advanced craft-ers alike is candlemaking. Today's craft stores sell many different types of waxes and products that can produce beautiful scented candles.

Teacup CandlesCandles can be housed in

various vessels, but a clev-er turn is to use teacups or mugs to mimic the look of popular beverages. There's also the reassurance that such beverage holders can withstand hot wax.Start by visiting a craft

store and choosing a type of wax. Gel waxes are ver-satile and can boil, pour and set up easily. They'll also be mostly translucent, which is great for repli-cating the look of various drinks. Follow the instruc-tions on the packages for usage and invest in coor-dinating wicks, colorants, and appropriate scents. It's also necessary to

choose a style of candle. In a teacup, a tea-colored hued wax paired with a lemon scent can be reminiscent of a hot cup of lemon tea. Use other glasses or mugs to repli-cate the looks and scents of hot chocolate, mimosas, cappuccino, and much more.As you become more

comfortable, experiment with incorporating mold-ed wax embellishments, such as lemon slices, ice cubes, berries, or even cinnamon sticks. This will help drive home the realism and whimsy.Treasure these candles

for use around the house, or gift them to others on special occasions.
