Mountain Fair bound

By Lynn BurtonSopris Sun Staff Writer

At 89 years old, Paul Markham might bethe oldest arts/crafts vendor at this weekend’sCarbondale Mountain Fair. In the summer

time when the overhead door is open,passersby near Eighth and Colorado can seehim inside his tidy shop creating wooden cut-ting boards and other wooden items, such as“T” puzzles that he warns “nine out of 10people can’t solve,” “ring” puzzles whose solv-ing apparently requires a less lofty IQ, noveltyitems, cleats for hanging clay pots on deckposts, and decorative creations like thimble-sized birdhouses affixed to long dowles thatadd interest to any flower bed or pot.

“The ladies love them,” he said with a

smile during a tour of his shop.Recently, Markham’s table saw, benches

and other flat surfaces were covered with card-board boxes, each neatly labeled and filledwith cutting boards (two sizes) and other in-ventory. Markham, trim and fit, moves easilythrough his shop, although maybe not quite asfluidly as when he was bringing the ball upduring his basketball days at McPherson Col-lege in Kansas (more on that in a minute).

Priced at $25 each, the 10X16-inch cuttingboards are Markham’s bread and butter. One

of the first steps in making a board is gluingtogether alternating strips of cherry, walnutand maple. When asked why not just make thecutting board out of one piece of wood, he an-swered “This is very attractive to people.”

A Markham cutting board is more complexthan gluing together strips of light and dark col-ored wood. A pair of three-eighths-inch dowels,running laterally through the board at eachend, keeps it all together. “The dowles keep itfrom warping or coming unglued.”

Busted in BonedaleDear Editor:

Three young dads briefly reunited, sincetwo no longer live in Carbondale, wentdowntown and found an outdoor concert.

Someone set off a firework in the aislecausing lots of light, fury and concern. Thethree dads moved away from the activity totalk and upon sitting down and crackingbeers in Friendship Park, a Carbondale po-lice officer brought down the hammer ofjustice. No messing around for him. Imme-diately he called back up, ordered us to thecurb and spent the next 45 minutes writing

us $130 tickets and making inane accusa-tions about us trying to start riots. Not onlywas this incredibly unpleasant but it wasquite depressing to realize what the Car-bondale police were good for.

We were told that if we had studied thetown website we would know that Friend-ship Park is closed at night and lord knowsnothing is more offensive than an open beeron a Saturday night next to a free concert.For the sake of people who dare sit inFriendship Park after dark I would hopeCarbondale could get some signage to theeffect that it’s not allowed; perhaps an elec-

tric fence could come down at sunset.Like so many gentrified communities

after 9/11, the culture of fear appears tohave taken over and the resulting prece-dent is depressingly lame. Don’t thinkabout being in town parks after dark andwatch out for this officer and his hammerof justice.

Driving the countryseven days a weekBy Lynn BurtonSopris Sun Staff Writer

In lightning lexicon, the strikes are called“hold-overs.”

The inside of a tree can smolder for twoor three days after being hit by lightning be-fore burning all the way through to outsideair. Once the fire burns through, with theright conditions, such as high wind, the firecan spread. After that, wildland firefighterscan have a catastrophic blaze on their hands.

“Many fires start from hold overs,” Car-bondale Deputy Fire Chief Rob Goodwintold The Sopris Sun on Tuesday.

Making sure those hold overs don’t flareand fuel what could become national newsstories (a la the Coal Seam fire just outsideGlenwood Springs a few years ago), the Car-bondale & Rural Fire Protection District re-instated its wildfire patrols last week, thanksfunds provided by private donors.

Goodwin said the daily patrols, with fourfirefighters in two brush trucks, are dis-patched north and south, not only keepingan eye on hold-overs and possible newstrikes, but monitoring fire conditions andinteracting with the public.

But the crews don’t just show up at theCarbondale fire station every day at 10 a.m.and head out on their eight-hour shifts. Be-fore climbing behind the wheel of theirtrucks, the crews meet in the fire station’sdarkened meeting room, where a screencomes down and they hear a recorded re-port from the National Interagency Coor-dination Center.

The first weather map on the screen showsColorado, Wyoming, Kansas, Nebraska andNorth Dakota. After that, a Colorado mapcomes up that shows recent lightning strikesfollowed by a weather report.

After that, the recorded portion of thebriefing is over and Goodwin shows a localmap from a BLM website that shows re-cent strikes that were recorded in the Cat-tle Creek, Carbondale and Redstone areas.On that note, the lights go on and Good-

win starts sliding printed reports and otherinformation across the desks and intowaiting hands.

The first is the “Daily Situational Report”with weather forecasts for Carbondale andMarble that includes different temperaturesfor 6,000 feet and 8,000 feet, minimum hu-midity for the same elevations; somethingcalled a “Haines Index” and more.

Next up is a western report that includesnew fires (182 as of Tuesday), new large fires(four of those, ranging from 500 to 1,000acres) and the resources committed to fightthem. Most of the big fires were in Washing-ton and Oregon, with one in Idaho and onein Utah.

One report briefed the crew on the typesof fire fighting equipment, such as helicopters,that were available on Tuesday in Colorado.

The “6 Minutes For Safety: This Day inWildland Fire History” handout recountedthe events of July 22, 2003 and the CramerFire in Idaho. It was sobering.

Crew leader Jake Spaulding said “Pablo,(Herr) can you read this (for us?)” Herr tooka breath and started “ … Central Idaho, in-cluding the Salmon-Challis National Forest,had been in a period of drought for the lastfour years … .”

The fire in the area of Cramer Creek wasreported at 4:30 p.m. on July 20 and jumperswere dispatched. By the next morning, thefire covered 35 acres.

By 7:52 p.m. on July 21, the fire covered200 acres and due to “a thermal belt,” thefire burned actively until 3 a.m. on July 22.Two spots (H1 and H2) are eventuallycleared for helicopters to land and shuttlecrews as the fire continued to grow. A fewminutes after 11:27 a.m., fire fighters on H1pull back and retreat down the trail towardthe river; 20 minutes later H1 is burned overand fire activity is reported as “intense.”

“By 1430 (2:20 p.m.),” Herr read, “thefire in the Cache Bar drainage is an active firefront.” At 2:47 p.m., plans were made to re-move the crew from H2. At 3 p.m. “the fireis on both sides of the ridge and continues tospread rapidly.”

At 3:05 p.m., the H2 crew calls for “im-mediate pickup.” At 3:09 then call again butreport they are “fine, just taking a lot of

smoke.” At 3:13 p.m. they report fire andsmoke below them and request “immediatepick up.” Arriving at the fire, the helicopteris unable to land due to smoke. Both crewmembers leave H2 at 3:20 p.m. At 3:24p.m. the Cache Bar drainage is fully in-volved in the fire and the crew makes a finalcall for immediate pick up. Both firefightersdie soon after.”

“Whew,” Herr said after reading thosefinal words.

After the reading, Goodwin and today’screw members critiqued what went wrong atthe Cramer Fire on July 22, 2003. Among themistakes made, the crew did not have a goodegress route and relied too much on helicop-ters for evacuation.

Goodwin pointed out that the CramerFire was similar to the Coal Seam Fire out-side Glenwood Springs, in that neither“laid down” at night as might be expectedbut instead, continued to grow and buildin intensity.

A few minutes after concluding the “6Minutes For Safety” discussion, each of thetwo Carbondale crews received their as-

signments for the day. The north crew, com-prised of Spaulding and Brandon Deter, wasto patrol the north end of the Carbondale& Rural Fire Protection District (includingPanorama Estates, Kings Row, Hawk Ridgeand Colorado Mountain College areas),check with the Basalt Fire District, open upstations 84 and 85, and finish any stationand equipment checks. The south crew wascomprised of Herr and Ray Bourg. Their as-signment included patrolling past BeaverLake beyond Marble, and patrolling SwissVillage, Redstone Ranch Acres, CrystalRiver Park, Crystal River Country Estatesand Seven Oaks.

Back inside the Carbondale fire station,Goodwin demonstrated how the districtuses regular maps as well as Google Earthmaps to track and record lighting strikes.Elsewhere around town, Mountain Fairorganizers were gearing up to create “bestscenario” situations for the weekend.Goodwin said the fire district works froman opposite approach.

“We plan for the worst and hope forthe best.”

Daily wildfire patrols prep before they roll

He also draws a comparison to his stripsof wood and people: “No two pieces are ex-actly alike.”

Markham takes delight in explaining howhe drills a hole for the dowels through theside of the cutting boards. He puts down astrip of cherry wood, turns around andweaves his way to the other side of the shop,where he takes a triangle-shaped, aluminumlooking thing from a wall of tools.

“This is a dowel jig,” he explains, then showshow he uses it to make marks on each side ofthe cutting board, so when he uses his drill pressto make two holes in the opposite side of theboard, they meet in the middle “every time.”

Markham and his wife, Annie, have livednear their son, Joe, and his wife Cindy Nett,for two or three years, after living in Redstonein the 1990s then moving back to Kansas fora few years. Maybe it’s the exterior sign above

his shop that says “Cutting boards for sale”but word seems to be getting around. Re-cently, at the height of his Mountain Fair pro-duction cycle, a woman “came in on aWednesday” and said she needed a 14-inch,round cutting board right away for a wed-ding. Markham replied that he didn’t havetime for such a short turn around. “I’ll tellyou what I’ll do,” she countered. “If it’s readyby Saturday I’ll give you $100.”

I asked, “Are you sure?”The woman said she was.Markham said OK, went “right to work”

and two days later the cutting board was ready.On that note, Markham went on to ex-

plain that other steps in his cutting boardprocess include running the boards through aplanner then using a belt sander to create arough finish and then an orbital sander andfinish sander.

Back in KansasAlthough there might be some question

whether Markham is the oldest arts/craftsvendor at Mountain Fair, there can be no dis-pute about the following: he is the only ven-dor who has been inducted into theMcPherson College Hall of Fame, and alsothe Kansas Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame.

Markham spent his early years inChanute, Kansas, located in the southeastpart of the state, where his dad was a farmer,but the family later moved to McPherson, inthe central part of the state, where his dadworked in the oil business.

When he was 15 years old, Markhambroke his left arm playing basketball. He wastaken to a doctor, who put his arm in a plas-ter cast. The cast ended up being too tight.The upshot? His arm atrophied, and he hashad only partial use of it and his left hand forthe past 74 years.

Despite the handicap, Markham lettered

in basketball three times at McPherson Col-lege and also played semi-profession baseball.After graduation from college he taught shop(wood working) in high school, and coachedbasketball, for 35 years. A highlight came in1968 when his team at Wamego High School(near Manhattan) went 25-0 and won thestate 3A title. He also built houses when notcoaching or teaching.

Back in his Carbondale shop, Markhamkeeps a saying on the wall titled “Words ofwisdom” that says “Tough times don’t last buttough people do.” He jokes about being “bigtime” when he says he earned a MA in phys-ical education from Kansas State University.

A few minutes later, when rememberinghis years teaching and coaching in DodgeCity, Kansas, he says he joined the OptimistClub there and was once named Optimistof the Year.

“So I’m an optimist,” he says. “I’m anoptimist.”

Award-winning photographer Tyler Sta-bleford is about to do something he’s neverdone in his 20-year career.

The internationally acclaimed photog-rapher/cinematographer lives in Carbon-dale with his wife, school teacher MeganCurrier and two children, Annabelle andSam. He’s lived here for 17 years and hisphotography studio is here. Stableford andhis team — which includes Draper White,Kate Rolston and Ben Thomas — spendmost of their time on commercial photog-raphy and film. “One of biggest things I’vebeen doing lately is directing national TVcommercials for Cabela’s,” Stableford toldThe Sopris Sun, adding that the entireteam is actively engaged in shooting“stills” and “motion.”

What Stableford has done has generateda long list of accolades, including beingnamed one of the world’s seven greatest ad-venture photographers by Men’s Journal.He is one of Canon’s Explorers of Lightand has won a number of awards for hisphotography. He will soon head to Mexicoto shoot an underwater fine-art project forCanon as a promotion for its latest cam-eras. During this assignment he will beshooting whale sharks, which, according toStableford, “is a deeply personal project!”

Surprisingly, one thing Stableford hasnever done is to show his work in agallery or host a gallery opening recep-tion. He says the reason is because he has-n’t focused on fine-art imagery before.Fortunately for those of us living in Car-bondale and the Roaring Fork Valley, thatis about to change on July 30 when Sta-bleford will host his very first gallery re-ception and exhibit at Town. restaurant inCarbondale. It willbe open to the pub-lic from 5 to 7 p.m.

When Stablefordcame to Town.owner Mark Fischer,and said “Wouldyou be interested inhosting an exhibit oflocal farmers,” Fis-cher was all for it.

“This project isreally cool and rele-vant. We’d beencontemplating some-thing similar forTown. … but Tyler’s project is even moreperfect,” Fischer said.

The exhibit, entitled “The AmericanFarmer,” is a one-time gallery showing andpreview of Stableford’s national portraitureproject. “This is a project I pitched toCanon with my team, to photograph fine-art portraits of American farmers, ranchers,cheese makers and other food artisansacross the country,” he said. Everyone onhis crew has shot for the Canon project,which culminates in New York City in lateSeptember at the Photoville Art Festival inBrooklyn Bridge Park.

There’s another reason the local exhibitis so special for not only Stableford and his

team, but for those of us that live here. Thegallery showing at Town. on July 30 has aspecial focus on Roaring Fork Valleyranchers and farmers.

“A majority of thecampaign has been andis still being shot here,with a special focus onRoaring Fork Valleyfarmers and ranchers,”Stableford said.

RespectIt’s obvious that the

photographer has agreat deal of respect forthe breed. “Because landprices are so high it’s be-coming increasingly dif-ficult to be a rancher,” he

explained. “I think it’s safe to say for themost part that the ranchers and farmersin the Roaring Fork Valley are a dyingbreed. It’s an incredibly arduous profes-sion, subject to elements like drought,wildly fluctuating market prices, etc. It’sreally difficult and I salute those who aredoing it.”

Stableford says that one reason he’s at-tracted to farmers and ranchers is becausethey have interesting faces, characters andpersonas. “They’re rugged people whowork the land all year, and to get to pho-tograph these people in their backyard cre-ates a personal connection between me andmy subjects,” adding that besides the char-

acters themselves, the land-scapes and settings, are so vi-sual. “This campaign celebratesthe amazing imaging capabili-ties of Canon equipment fromcameras and lenses to printers.”

Continuing, he said, “A lotof the ranching families havebeen reticent to be pho-tographed. They’re not peoplewho seek the spotlight and Ihope the gallery opening is away to share with the commu-nity what they do.”

Some of the local ranchingfamilies included in the projectare the Nieslaniks, Fales,Strangs and Sewell’s, plus Mila-gro Ranch, Sustainable Set-tings, Woody Creek Distillers,Crystal River Meats and WildBear Bee Farms, among others.He has also photographedranchers and farmers in Louisiana, Mis-souri New Hampshire Utah and elsewherein Colorado; some of these images will beincluded in the upcoming preview.

Despite the awards and notoriety Sta-bleford has received, he’s just a regulardown-to-earth guy. He and his family reg-ularly participate in community events andare loyal community members.

When he mentioned “some of my fa-vorite field trips with the kids are to Sus-tainable Settings and Rock Bottom Ranchto be with the animals and to harvest eggs

and fresh produce,” he became this pho-tographer’s hero, not only as a photogra-pher, but as a human being.

Mountain lion tipsA mountain lion recently attacked two

dogs in their yard near Glenwood Springs,which prompted Colorado Parks and Wildlifeto remind residents what to do in the unlikelyevent they counter such a beast on the trail.Tips include:

• It’s a good idea to bring a walking stickto use to fight off the lion;

• Make sure children are close to you andwithin sight at all times;

• Do not approach a lion, especially onethat is feeding or with kittens;

• Give a mountain lion a way to escapeand stay calm;

• Talk calmly yet firmly to it;• Stop or back away slowly, if you can do

it safely (running may stimulate a lion's in-stinct to chase and attack);

• Face the mountain lion and stand up-right;

• Raise your hands to make yourself ap-pear larger;

• If a lion acts aggressively, throw stonesor whatever you can get your hands on with-out crouching down or turning your back.

“What you want to do is convince the lionyou are not prey and that you may in fact bea danger to the lion,” said a CPW spokesman.“Fight back if a lion attacks you. Lions havebeen driven away by prey that fights back.”

EverGreen has beenworking with the Boulder triathlon seriessince 2007 and in 2014 is shooting for a 90-93 percent landfill diversion rate. “Thatmeans less than 10 percent of all discardsgenerated … end up being landfilled,” Rein-del continued. To reach that figure, only com-postable or recyclable event-related productsare allowed on site. During the race and expo,EverGreen will deploy its three-bin zero-waste collection system, which recovers com-postables, recyclable items and trash. Thereare also special collection points for en-durance-sport specific materials such as en-ergy bar and gel wrappers, bike tires andtubes, wet suits and swim caps, race bibs andathletic shoes. Plastic bags, stretch wrap andtextiles are also recycled; leftover food is do-nated to a local homeless shelter. EverGreenEvents will also make stage announcementsduring athlete briefings and will use volun-teers to staff stations and interact with people.“One of the benefits of this program is beingable to engage people from all over the worldwith zero waste,” Reindel said. “ … hopefullythey (the people) share these neat ideas withtheir own communities.”

The performer lineup includes Steve Skin-ner & The Thompson Dividers, the Carbon-dale Rhythm Collective, Valle Musico, SharonYoung and Dory Light, and Jack Lanning.

Tickets are $75 and can be purchased atmtsoprishistoricalsociety.org, in downtownCarbondale at the Pour House, or 963-7041.

Fred Donaldson, PhD, the author of thePulitzer Prize nominated book “Playing byHeart: The Vision and Practice of Belong-ing” returns to Carbondale the first week-end of August to co-lead a workshop withlocal resident William Evans. This three-dayteaching collaboration will take the form of“Playful Tallness,” a lively, experiential, col-lective “living story” that will unfold indoorsand outdoors, beginning Friday evening,Aug. 1, from 6 to 8 p.m.

The two presenters have long held theintention to teach together. Donaldson is aworld-famous specialist in the use of playas an alternative to aggression, violence andabuse, and an international education con-sultant; he last visited Carbondale about 15years ago. His Original Play® program isthe result of 30 years of research on chil-dren’s, adults’ and wild animals’ play be-havior. He has worked with special needschildren, culturally diverse communities,gangs and children living on the streets. Heis a former professor at The University ofWashington and The California State University, Hayward and The California School ofProfessional Psychology. He gives lectures and workshops for organizations and institu-tions throughout the world.

Primarily teaching outdoors, Evans includes story and film to do what he refers to as“scattering the seeds of tallness.” The Carbondale workshop brings their two, related ap-proaches together.

StoriesFor tens of thousands of years, families gathered around campfires and told stories. “Sto-

ries have always steered people and driven systemic change,” writes Evans in a press release

provided to The Sopris Sun. “We rely onstories to understand what our lives areabout. A better, healthier future can bebuilt on the foundation of life-sustainingstories. Using story in this way activatesmore human potential — moving peo-ple not to just think differently but to bedifferent.”

Donaldson distinguishes “livingworld” stories this way: “There is a needfor ‘living world’ stories, because somany people are shriveling from ‘dyingworld’ stories. They see themselves asvictims and yet all that may be needed isfor someone to help them experience achoice, a safe place for discovering a liv-ing, playful, identity residing withinthem.”

The workshop will incorporate playgeared to participants of all ages. “Play isa more fundamental response than fear,”writes Donaldson. “Play is more instinc-tual than fear.” Evans points out that,similarly, tallness is innate in all humanlife; healthy children naturally stand up

and walk at the appropriate time in their development. He believes, “The call of inner tall-ness can occur at any age. Playful tallness has nothing to do with age or size.”

The introductory talk for the upcoming Playful Tallness workshop is Friday, Aug. 1, 6-8 p.m. at the KDNK classroom. This session is open to all and the cost is $10. Saturday’ssession runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Aug. 2, and will be held outdoors. People do not haveto attend Friday evening to participate on Saturday. On Sunday, the group will meet in-doors, this time on aikido mats. Sunday is only open to those who attend on Saturday. Thecost is $50 for each of the Saturday/Sunday sessions, or $100 for both. Participants areasked to bring water and a lunch. For more information or to register, contact WilliamEvans at 970-704-0124 or [email protected].

Sopris Sun Staff ReportThe Wyly Art Center announces the opening of its

first satellite exhibition gallery, The Wyly Annex, lo-cated in an empty storefront in the heart of historicdowntown Basalt.

The space officially opened on July 11 in conjunc-tion with Basalt’s art walk. According to Kelly Alford,executive director of The Wyly, this exhibition space isprogrammed through the spring of 2015 with thework of regionally and nationally recognized artists,and will include a series of art openings, art talks andcommunity activities highlighting the art, according toa press release.

Details of the full exhibition schedule will be postedat wylyarts.org. The inaugural exhibitions are “StewartOksenhorn: photographer,” currently running throughJuly 31, and “Subject to Change” by Jody Guralnick,which is to open form 5 to 7 p.m. on Aug. 8.

The Wyly Annex is housed in the historic Three BearsBuilding at 174 Midland Avenue, which sat vacant untilearlier this year when the town of Basalt rented the spaceas headquarters for the Our Town planning initiative.Through that planning process, the public requested

more art in downtown Basalt, including galleries, artiststudios and residences, sculpture gardens and a per-forming arts center.

The town of Basalt and The Wyly Art Center are nowworking to develop an arts and cultural transformationplan for the community that will lead to cultural en-gagement, civic vitality and economic revitalization.

“A number of studies demonstrate that arts and cul-ture organizations have a significant economic impact

nationally, in the state of Colorado, and in our neigh-boring town, Aspen. Investing in the arts is a sound wayfor Basalt to increase economic vitality and communityvibrancy,” said Hannah Condon, summer arts intern forthe town of Basalt.

Basalt Town Manager Mike Scanlon echoes the im-portance of public arts projects like the new Wyly Annex.“The Wyly has been extensively involved with Basalt’srevitalization efforts from the beginning, constantlyworking to enrich our community through the expan-sion of art and arts education. As The Wyly and its pro-gramming continues to grow, I am confident that it willmake Basalt an even more vibrant, creative and arts-cen-tered community,” Scanlon said.

The Wyly Art Center fosters creative expression inthe visual arts for learners of all ages and abilitiesthrough a variety of classes, programs, exhibitions andevents. Founded in 1996, The Wyly Art Center is a com-munity-based visual arts organization that believes artseducation is fundamental to the healthy development ofmind and spirit and enriches the life of the community.The Wyly is funded through donations, grants, specialevents, and program fees.

“Investing in the arts is a sound way for Basalt to increase economic vitality and community vibrancy.”

Preheat oven to 350 degrees1. In mixer, put cream, butter and sugartogether

2. Mix in egg 3. Mix in vanilla4. In a separate bowl combine almond flour,baking soda, sea salt and cinnamon

5. Add flour mixture to butter mixture,blend well

6. Squeeze zucchini until all the liquid is out7. Gently mix grated, squeezed zucchini,chocolate chips and hemp seeds intothe batter

True heroesDear Editor:

In these times of 24 hour news cycles,where we seem to only hear about the badnews, war in the Middle East or a parent whohas murdered their child, I want to tell youabout a group of people that give of them-selves to make this world a better place. Thatgroup is the men and women that make upthe volunteer force from the Carbondale andRural Fire Protection District.

This group of valley residence donatesthousand hours of their time to respond tocalls for emergency services. These calls comeat all hours of the day and night and thisgroup of dedicated community servants dropeverything in their own lives at a moment no-tice, to help others, missing out on time withtheir families, jobs and friends.

The fire district responds to every type ofemergency you can think of, from emergencymedic services to car accidents, wild land fire,structure fire and swift water rescue — just toname a few. The kind of training and certifi-cations needed to respond to all these types ofcalls is extensive and never ends, which meansthe volunteers must also give thousands ofhours every year for training in order to keeptheir skill up to date.

This is a very special group of people, will-ing to risk their own lives to help others, ask-ing nothing in return. Their only payment forthe time they donate is the good feeling theyget from helping their community. These peo-ple are your friends and neighbors, unsung he-roes of this community. I would ask everyoneto take just a minute and think about thesepeople and what they do for this community.

The fire district could not operate withoutthem, the district is simply too large and thecalls for emergency services are too numerous.

These are the type of people that I want mykids to look up to, not some pro athlete orHollywood star, but people who give and do-nate and ask nothing in return. I would chal-lenge everyone who reads this letter to seekout one of these volunteers and offer them asimple “thank you.”

This little valley of ours is a very special placeand one of the things that make it such a greatplace to live is this group of volunteers on duty365 days a year. This community owes them adebt that will never be asked to be repaid.

Thanks to Heritage ParkDear Editor:

I recently lost a close friend who spent thelast 18 months of her life at Heritage ParkCare Center, �rst in assisted living and then,as her health further failed following severalstrokes, in the Skilled Nursing section. For thelast month of my friend’s life, I was there sev-eral times a day and able to observe the ex-

cellent care provided by the kind, caring anddedicated staff; I cannot speak more highly oftheir commitment to their clients’ well being.

It is so dif�cult to observe our loved onesin discomfort and we strive to do all we canto ease their pain. I felt that every request thatI made to Heritage on her behalf was hon-ored and every attempt was made to ful�llher needs. She was treated with the utmostdignity and respect and loving care. I am verygrateful to the wonderful folks at HeritagePark. How fortunate we are to have this fa-cility in our community.
