Hydrant testing may temporarily discolor water
The Middleburg Heights Fire Department will be testing the operation and flowing water through all fire hydrants in the city beginning May 3, 2010. Residential and commercial areas will be tested throughout the day. Notification signs will be posted for each area in advance prior to testing.
Do not run your water while hydrants are being tested in your immediate area. All water users may experience some brownish discoloring in their water immediately after testing. Letting the cold water run for a few moments at the lowest point in your home will usually clear the water to its normal appearance. If water flow is restricted after hydrants are tested, remove and clean all faucet screens and aerators. Testing is expected to last throughout the summer.

Attractions consist of complimentary vegan treats, door prizes, Henna tattoo art, a fun strolling magician, relaxing chair massage, sample Reiki treatments, free demos and talks about classes and workshops all given by the staff of nearly a dozen providers.
The Center promotes unity and peace and consists of two large studio rooms fo activity classes such as Yoga, T’ai Chi Chih and Pilates, a healing arts room for massage, Reiki and ionic detox, an appointment room for Angel Healing readings, Tarot consultations and private Yoga therapy instruction, a lounge for sipping tea and receiving a “rocking chair Angel reading,” playing with divination games or reading from the lending library. “There will be a landscaped area for classes outdoors when weather permits,” says Star, “and there is a nature preserve beyond that for hikes and tuning into nature.” Classes will also include Reiki training and creativity and intuition classes for adults and children.
Additionally, the Center houses a corporate wellness team, a Rainbow Reiki for Children team, and a Schools Division offering Yoga for able and special needs children in area schools. “I already teach able and special needs children in the Amherst Schools and at the Children’s Developmental Center,” says Star, “I’d like to expand and offer Yoga to children in additional schools. It develops self-regulation and discipline, coping tools for stress and encourages an attitude of respect.” Star can be reached at (216) 789-3765 and the new website is www.michellestaryoga.com.
