he town of Carbondale wants yourtrash to be stored in containers strongenough to resist a grizzly bear (Ursusarctos horribilis), even though it is
highly unlikely that a “grizz” will ever visit yourtrash can or your home.
That is one of the provisions contained withinan emergency ordinance passed by the town’strustees at a meeting on Tuesday, which is intendedto prevent the local population of black bears(much smaller and less fierce than grizzlies, buttroublesome enough in their own right) from get-ting into your trash and triggering a process thattoo often ends when the bear is “put down” orkilled by wildlife officials.

About those GMOsDear Editor:
I am writing in response to Jeannie Perry’scolumn on genetically modified foods. WhileI usually appreciate Perry’s insights, on thistopic, I yearn for more information. There areseveral resources out there with accurate in-formation on GMO’s. Might I suggest shestart with Nina Fedoroff’s book “Mendel inthe Kitchen,” which has a few chapters justfor references. This book goes into manyfacets of the pros and cons of present dayGMOs while also taking you on a fun tripback in time reflecting on the farminglifestyles that brought about food modifica-tion in order to survive.
Very long ago, the peoples of South andNorth America were able to turn a grass intocorn. This was accomplished by applyingwhat they knew about farming and taking ita step further, changing soils, daylight and wa-tering practices to control the outcome, whichwas a food higher in nutrients and yield. In re-ality this cultivation was mutating genes.
Botanical chimeras, a product of mixingtwo or more species in a single tree, or previ-ously known as grafting, goes back thou-sands of years. Sue Hubbell, author of “TheShrinking Cat, Genetic Engineering BeforeWe Knew About Genes” reminds us that ”Allcultivated apples come from branches of onetree grafted onto the trunk and roots of an-other.” Luther Burbank, who started improv-ing potatoes in the year 1873, contributedimmensely in improving fruits and vegetablesin California and today the word, ‘burbank’is a verb in Websters Dictionary meaning, “tomodify and improve (plants or animals) es-pecially by selective breeding.”
Herbert Boyer improving insulin, and ofcourse Gregor Mendel who mathematically dis-covered genes, are but a few of the forefatherswhose scientific genius has contributed totoday’s successful population and food harvests.
It is our nature to try and improve. Whileour population is growing we know that wewill need a significant greater amount of food(55 percent in 20 years) but we will not haveany way of obtaining more farmland. TheScientific American wrote an editorial stating”Labels for GMO foods are a bad idea,” sug-gesting that labeling will spread scientificallyinaccurate information that could harmhuman health and slow the development ofagricultural bio-technology that could beparamount in increasing the global food sup-ply as we grow in population.
Jon Entine, executive director of the Ge-netic Literacy Project, points out in his recentForbes article (Why Liberal Americans AreTurning Against GMO Labeling), “Many ofthe very same organizations that have pub-licly stated the dangers of global warminghave noted that GM foods are as safe or saferthan conventional or organic foods. They arealso sustainable in many cases because theyrequire lower, ‘inputs’ — some GM crops likeBT sugar beets, are engineered to use naturalbacteria to repel pests, all but eliminating theuse of toxic insecticides, and result in higheryields. About to be introduced vitamin en-
hanced or toxicity reduced GM foods such ascassava, rice and potatoes will offer con-sumers clear nutritional benefits.”
I suggest we all keep an open mind in re-searching this rather controversial topic.

Cops bust teens for pilfering pot plants
By Lynn BurtonSopris Sun Staff Writer
Song request for KDNK at exactly 7 a.m.on Sept. 29: “Roundabout” by Yes fromtheir 1971 album “Fragile.”
That’s the time and date the ColoradoDepartment of Transportation plans toopen the Highway 133/Main Street round-about to through traffic. It’s a day that somelocals have dreaded, some have welcomedbecause they are sick of construction at thatintersection, and that a few don’t much careabout. In any case, the biggest change toHighway 133 since a traffic signal was in-stalled at Main Street about 30 years ago isnot big enough to warrant a police presenceto ensure that motorists, bicyclists andpedestrians successfully navigate the newspin cycle on opening day.
“Unless we get some calls, I don’t thinkanyone (a police officer) will be there,” saidCarbondale Police Chief Gene Schilling.
The roundabout is the centerpiece ofCDOT’s two-mile construction project onHighway 133 that is expected to continueuntil mid-November.
CDOT Project Engineer Adam Cornelytold The Sopris Sun that if the weather co-operates, as of Sept. 29 traffic will flowfreely through the intersection in all direc-tions, meaning that west Main Street will beopen following several weeks of closure.North-bound motorists have been able toturn east off of Highway 133 and on toMain Street for about a week.
For now, the roundabout will be a singlelane but expand to two lanes when the en-tire project is complete.
Besides the roundabout opening nextMonday, the “Oh thank heaven for7/Eleven” crowd will be in for a change.
They’ll be able to once again exit the con-venience store’s parking lot onto westMain Street, but the Highway 133 en-trance/exit will close for now. ColoradoAvenue at Highway 133 will also be closedfor construction.
Carbondale is the last town in the Roar-ing Fork Valley to have a roundabout be-stowed upon it by CDOT. Most motoristshave safely made it through roundaboutsin Aspen, Basalt, El Jebel, GlenwoodSprings and elsewhere in Colorado. Cor-nely said the same rules apply to Carbon-dale’s roundabout as the others and thatCarbondale’s isn’t much different. Accord-ing to a CDOT instruction sheet posted onthe town of Carbondale’s website and alsosent to residents in this month’s water bills,tips and rules include:
• Slow down.• Read advance signing and choose cor-
rect lane before entering the roundabout.• Stay in your lane to the exit.• Cyclists should stay in the lane and
not hug the curb.• Pedestrians or cyclists on the sidewalk
should: cross only at designated crosswalks,wait for a safe gap in traffic, cross onlywhen traffic yields or stops.
Schilling reminds motorists to use theirsignals when entering or exiting the round-about and motorists must yield to pedestri-ans when they are in the crosswalks.
A CDOT diagram shows that the cross-walks at the north and south ends of theroundabout are slightly longer than theones at the east and west ends. When askedwhether he thinks it will be easier for pedes-trians to cross Highway 133 with theroundabout, he said he’ll have to wait tosee, “ … but I think it’ll be easier.”
Roundabout slated toopen on Sept. 29

Three Carbondale teenagers — one ofwhom is implicated in another crime —have been arrested and charged with felonyburglary after they allegedly stole potplants from a private, back-yard gardenover a period of weeks earlier this summer.
The three are to appear in court on Oct.8 to learn exactly which formal chargesthey are facing, which likely will includeunderage possession of pot, according toDeputy District Attorney Tony Hershey ofthe Ninth Judicial District Attorney’s office.
The identities of the three are beingwithheld because they are minors, accord-ing to Carbondale Police Chief GeneSchilling. All three, Schilling said, were ar-rested and released into the custody oftheir parents.
The thefts of pot, from an in-townproperty on the south side of town, re-portedly took place on four separate datesstarting in July and ending last week.Schilling said the arrests took place aftersurveillance cameras, installed after thesecond theft, allegedly revealed the identi-
ties of the three teens, said to be betweenthe ages of 14 and 17.
Schilling said that, “to the best of myrecollection,” a total of eight plants havebeen taken from a small enclosure made ofa wood frame covered with plastic sheet-ing, and that the surveillance video showedthe three teens entering the structure andemerging with pot plants in hand.
The three allegedly climbed over a “tallfence” surrounding the pot garden, in orderto get to the structure.
One of the three teens, Schilling said,subsequently was implicated in the bur-glary of a store in downtown Carbondale,which took place earlier in the summer andinvolved other alleged perpetrators than theteens arrested for the pot thefts.
Police believe the fourth theft of potplants was done by a different person, orpersons, and not the three teens who havebeen charged.
The cases will be tried in GarfieldCounty District Court, Schilling said, “be-cause of the value of the plants,” althoughan exact value has yet to be provided by thegarden’s owner.

There’s some head scratching going on at the library and police department, after a15-foot-tall glass panel over the building’s north entrance apparently shattered of itsown accord on Sunday night or early Monday morning, covering the sidewalk belowwith bits of safety glass. “There’s no evidence that anyone broke it,” said Carbon-dale Police Chief Gene Schilling. Garfield County Library Director Amelia Shelleywas out of town on Wednesday but told The Sopris Sun in an e-mail that both thegeneral contractor and glass contractor inspected the area where the glass broke anddidn't see anything structural or installation-related that would have caused thebreakage. She said the library has a spare panel left over from construction and itsinsurance will cover the cost of replacement. Lynn Burton photo

Town council om page 1using bear-proof containers for trash storage, and putting the trashout either the night before trash day, or in the hours before 6 a.m.,which is the earliest time allowed under the town’s codes for puttingthe trash at the curb for pickup.
“The goal here is to have compliance, and we don’t want to have abear put down,” declared Mayor Stacey Bernot.
The new law changes the punishment fornoncompliance to a ticketable offense, ratherthan one involving arrest and a summonsinto municipal court. Under the new ordi-nance, transgressors will be faced with finesof $100 for the first offense, $250 for thesecond offense and $500 for the third.
The ordinance also permits fines to be puttoward the purchase price of a certified bear-resistant container.
And while the draft ordinance initially re-quired commercial trash haulers to makebear-resistant containers available to cus-tomers upon demand, that provision was re-moved by the trustees and left for furtherdiscussion at a future board meeting.
And there is a lot to be discussed, town officials concluded,including:
• Questions of government subsidies for the bear-resistant con-tainers, which can cost about $250 per container;
• How the new containers will mesh with the technical re-quirements of the highly-automated trash pickup trucks;
• And the increasing use of compost piles by local residentseager to live a “green” lifestyle, since compost also is known to at-tract the interest of bears.
No date was announced for the future discussions about trash,wildlife and related topics, though it was generally acknowledgedit should take place soon.
In an unrelated issue, the trustees held off on a decision aboutsignificantly increasing Carbondale’s investment of public funds,
such as a proposed use of federal mineral impact funding, or a feeattached to residential water bills, to provide a “permanent fund-ing source” for renewable energy efforts undertaken by the CleanEnergy Economy for the Region (CLEER) and Community Of-fice of Resource Efficiency (CORE) organizations.
Both organizations have long worked withthe town to increase the energy efficiency ofhomes, businesses and government facilities, inorder to reduce the amount of greenhouse-gasemissions attributed to local homes, businessesand governmental functions, as a way of com-batting climate change at the local level.
Representatives of CLEER and CORE hadproposed using half of the town’s proceedsfrom Mineral Lease Fees and mineral sever-ance taxes, which this year came to roughly$600,000 paid by energy companies operatingin Garfield County to offset socio-economicimpacts from oil and gas extraction activities.
While the proposed energy-efficiency effortswere generally supported by the trustees, theybalked at using that much of the energy-impact
funds, and asked for more information about the idea of tackinga fee on residential water bills.
In other action the trustees:• Approved special events liquor licenses for the upcoming
Oktoberfest and Celtic Fest celebrations, scheduled for Oct. 3-4in downtown Carbondale, and a fund-raising event called Rock‘n Roast, for the Mount Sopris Montessori School to be held onOct. 17 at The Gathering Center on Snowmass Drive.
• Conditionally approved a retail marijuana business licensefor the Acme Healing Center of Carbondale, 958 Highway 133 inthe Sopris Shopping Center.
• Approved a liquor license transfer for The Goat Kitchen andBar, 995 Cowen Drive, to sole owner Stacey Baldock, who is plan-ning to make changes to the business.

By Denise BarkhurstSopris Sun Correspondent
Recently, Colorado Mountain CollegePresident Carrie Besnette Hauser and ChiefOperating Officer Matt Gianneschi held aseries of town hall meetings to discussCMC’s mission statement for greater inclu-sion and innovation as astudent-centered college.
Though Colorado hasdropped to 49th in the na-tion for higher-educationspending, CMC is fortunateto receive 71 percent of itsfunding from local propertytaxes, relying on only 11percent from the state, and17 percent from tuition. Itenjoys a 43 percent transferrate of its students to four-year colleges. However,challenges exist.
While Colorado spending has dropped,the need for post secondary education hasincreased. “Many of the jobs that were lostin the recent recession are not comingback,” said Gianneschi. Instead, “By 2020,74 percent of jobs in Colorado will requiresome form of higher education.”
The need for a higher level of educationis combined with the statistics regardingColorado’s changing demographics. From1993 to 2013, Colorado’s K-12 Latinopopulation increased 166 percent. Withthis in mind, CMC is making it a priorityto engage families and break down cul-tural barriers with regards to higher edu-cation attainment.
The Sopris Sun recently interviewedHauser after one of the town hall presen-tations.
SOPRIS SUN: CMC is a community-based college with 11 campuses. Theschool has recently been approved forfour-year degrees in business administra-tion, nursing, sustainability studies, appliedsciences and teacher education. How doyou see continuing education classes fittinginto this new model? Will CMC still becommunity focused? How will it staytuned in to each community?
HAUSER: We will always be a commu-nity college, however, I see us as a hybridmodel that serves the needs of our commu-nities. As part of the research-based brand-ing, we need to survey the communities toget some sense of what lifelong learningmeans to the areas we serve. This includesa needs assessment and environmental scanso that we can put our energy in the rightplaces and deliver courses that get peopleinterested. We are looking at the inventoryof classes we offer in continuing educationand how they are distributed across thecampuses in order to see how to get an in-creased enrollment rate in classes peopleare asking for.
Q: Speaking of sustainability, Carbon-dale has become the “go-to” spot for sus-tainable business and energy models, andthe Lappala Center in Carbondale is themain campus in our area for sustainabilityclasses. Does CMC have plans to build alab or outdoor experiential work area tocompliment this program?
A: At this time, there are other capitalprojects in the wings that are the focus.However, some of the goals of our sustain-ability studies program are to maintain rel-evance and stay on the cutting edge. Weintend to continually be ahead of the skillsets and requirements of the green market
place in our program byworking closely with otherfactions of the college.Right now, sustainability isconnected with the newmedia and business pro-grams. We will continue tolook for creative ways toconnect sustainability withcommunities, organiza-tions and other innovativeprograms at the CMCcampuses.
Q: You recently wrote an op-ed that ex-plained CMC’s goal of making dual creditclasses available for everyone in highschools across the CMC districts. The con-cept is to eliminate much of the need for re-medial education once high school studentsget to CMC. The original intent of dualcredit was to provide higher level educationclasses to rural students needing more chal-lenge than public school funding couldoffer. Can you briefly explain how CMCwill communicate to K-12 schools regard-ing the skills students are lacking?
A: We will always be there for both thehigher achievers who want to take collegetransfer credit classes while in high school,and for those needing to improve basic ac-ademic skill sets. Data sharing between thecollege and school districts is key. We needto understand students’ skills and use highschool transcripts to communicate to ustheir students’ needs. This will be unique toeach school district. We recognize that ed-ucation systems can no longer be individ-ual silos. In other words, we have to workclosely with K-12 schools by sharingcourses as we change the business model ofhigher education.
Q: Can funding for the college sup-port this?
A: We don’t have to use our resourcesper se. We can use state funding providedfor the 12th grade year of school. State lawauthorizes public colleges to work withhigh schools in the state. Similarly, state lawallows high schools to pay for college tu-ition. Therefore, dual credit enrollmentprograms are generally sustainable withoutnew resources.
Q: And where does the core issue ofconnecting to families for the support ofeducation come in?
A: The family literacy budget in ourstate is too low. As a state that is changingdemographically with the intense increaseof Latino population, we need to addressconnecting much earlier with kids and fam-ilies. Again, we are uniquely positioned topush into elementary schools to get kids in-terested in college and to break down cul-tural and educational barriers. Forexample, in Eagle County, CMC and the

Rally of the Rockies electrifies Carbondale Oct. 3
THE SOPRIS SUN, Carbondale’s community supported newspaper • SEPTEMbER 25, 2014 • 13
Electric cars arriveBy Denise BarkhurstSopris Sun Correspondent
On Oct. 3, Garfield Clean Energy, CLEER,Colorado Mountain College, CORE, thecity of Aspen, and the town of Vail are host-ing a three-legged electric vehicle (EV) rallyto promote the viability of EV tourismacross the Central Rockies.
All three legs will converge in Carbon-dale on the 400 block of Colorado Avenueat 4:30 p.m., adding to Carbondale’s FirstFriday celebration. Media events will beheld at multiple charging stations as theseven cars recharge along the Interstate-70corridor, and students from ColoradoMountain College’s Isaacson School ofNew Media will be riding along as passen-gers, providing tweets and filming the eventfor a documentary film. You can follow therally live at the hashtag #EVRallyCO.
Here are the details for the three legs ofthe rally:
AspenLaurie Guevara-Stone and Amy Wester-
velt of Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) willbe driving a Nissan Leaf and Ford Focus,respectively. They will begin at 2 p.m. at theribbon cutting for Aspen’s new publiccharging station at the Rio Grande parkinggarage, charge their vehicles at the MidlandSpur in Basalt from 3 to 4 p.m., and thenend their leg in downtown Carbondale. Asstated by Guevara-Stone, “We’re so lucky tohave such a great EV charging infrastruc-ture in the valley here. Hopefully it will en-courage more people to invest in electricvehicles. At RMI, we believe electric vehi-cles will play an important role in reachingour vision of an oil-free transportation sys-tem by 2050. I’m excited for this EV rallyand to be able to show people how coolelectric cars really are.”
VailAdrian Fielder of Colorado Mountain
College and Mike Ogburn of CLEER willbe driving Fielder’s Nissan Leaf and a FordC-Max Energi (a hybrid vehicle). They willstart at 2 p.m. in Vail at a yet-to-be-deter-mined site, stopping at the charging stationin the Glenwood Springs Cooper Avenueparking garage at 3 p.m. for one hour of
charging. They will also meet up for FirstFriday in Carbondale. “Times change fast,”Ogburn told The Sopris Sun. “Just a fewyears ago, there was only one public EVcharger that I knew of. Now there are 55-plus plugs of various types at 22-plus loca-tions on the Western Slope that are open tothe public, many of them free to use.”
Grand JunctionThe Grand Junction leg will begin with
a launch event at 11:30 a.m. at Fuocco Mo-tors. At noon, David Miller of Alpine Bank
will depart from Grand Junction in aChevy Volt. He will have charged his carwith solar power from his home. At Para-chute’s rest area solar flowers, at 1 p.m., hewill meet up with CMC’s Craig Farnum,who is driving his Nissan Leaf, andCLEER’s Matt Shmigelsky, who will be in aChevy Volt provided by Mountain Chevro-let of Glenwood Springs. The three willcharge at the Glenwood Springs parkinggarage from 3 to 4 p.m. before continuingon to Carbondale. Farnum states, “Drivingan electric vehicle is fun, fast, quiet and vir-
tually maintenance free. It feels good todrive something that aligns with our familyvalues of doing our part to help keep thelocal air clean while promoting renewableenergy. Currently, a 100 percent electric ve-hicle is the only vehicle we own. The onlyreason to stop at a gas station now is toclean our windshield! The rally is a fun wayto show the public that electric vehicles andplug-in hybrids are safe, reliable and prac-tical alternatives to the status quo. I thinkthe rally will create lots of excitement be-cause people in our valley are not exactlyknown for settling for the status quo.”
In CarbondaleThe cars will be on display near Car-
bondale Town Hall, and First Friday goersare encouraged to take in the demonstra-tions and partake in the refreshments.There will be information about each EVmodel on hand.
Electric vehicle proponents are sayingthat with 17 public charging stations acrossthe Western Slope, and more slated for nextyear, electric car owners no longer need touse their vehicles strictly for short distancesand commuting to work.

Battle Mountain High School arepractically on the same plot of land.This gives new meaning to the conceptof a seamless system of education. Wewant to create the opportunity forboth of these, K-12 and college, toexist together, keeping in mind thatthere are 23 high schools in the CMCservice area. There isn’t one compo-nent to making family connections andgaining family support for education.It has to be a systemic, intentional andaccumulative process. We want tosolve the issues at hand to work to-wards more inclusiveness.
Q: Very few people know thatCMC now offers a shuttle van for stu-dents between Roaring Fork campuses.What other new, student-centered, ac-commodation has CMC implementedthis year?

ACTIVITIES GUIDE IS NOW AVAILABLE.
By S. Michael Jundt
Her enthusiasm alone is reason to applaud thechoice for the new Basalt Chamber of Commerce pres-ident and CEO. But combined with her marketingskills and ability to see the big picture in Basalt’s cur-rent revitalization efforts, Robin Waters seems a per-fect addition to the town’s list of people committed tothe community.
The Chamber of Commerce, a non-profit entity sup-ported by the membership dues of local businesses ona voluntary basis, works to promote local business op-portunities and collaborates with other civic organiza-tions as well as the town’s own governing departments.
“We’re concerned,” says Robin, “with linking busi-nesses and community together, to better understandwhat is wanted and what is deemed to be important aswe grow.”
Current growth is being spurred in part by theRocky Mountain Institute, whose innovation and sus-tainable technology make them a leading center in en-ergy efficiency, and by the Roaring Fork Conservancy,a water and habitat protection non-profit. Both organ-izations will complete new centers in 2015-2016 just
west of downtown.Waters’ optimism for both new and existing busi-
nesses in Basalt comes with a strong prediction. “In oneyear,” says Robin, “we will be realizing positive, pro-gressive changes and anyone in the community can bea part of that design. In fact, we have an unprecedentedopportunity to build the community together and forcommunity members to shape the town they live in.”
“It’s an exciting time for new growth in Basalt,”continues Robin, “and I strongly urge perspective busi-
nesses to secure space now before the cost per squarefoot rises. The balance of shops and business ameni-ties in Basalt has been shifting for the past few yearsbut the combination of downtown, Willits, and theBusiness Center West area has all the assets of a trulylivable community.”
Waters, a Sarasota, Florida native who spent yearsliving in both Scotland and Costa Rica, also spent timein the political avenues of Washington, D.C. doing mar-keting and public relations work.
“In one year we will be realizing positive, progressive changes and anyone in the community can be a part of that design. In fact, we have an unprecedented opportunity to build the community together and for community members
to shape the town they live in.”– Robin Waters

Arlette Ondine Lawyer1922-2014
Born in São Paulo, Brazilto a Brazilian mother, AnitaCarrijo, and French father,Gaston Cord’homme, Arlettelived briefly in Argentina andgrew up primarily in SãoPaulo and Santos where shemet her future husband, JohnLawyer during a Carnivalparty in 1943. They marriedthe day Arlette finished herfinal exams at the Universityof São Paulo dental school.When the U.S. Navy shippedJohn back to the U.S., Arlette followed. Sinceshe attended dental school in Brazil she couldnot practice in the United States, but she en-joyed assisting in research at Tufts Universityand the University of Chicago where she wasinvolved in some of the early fluoride researchas well as investigations into the effects of Vi-tamin C on oral health. In 1948 John and Ar-lette returned to Brazil where she gave birth totheir first daughter, Suzy.
The family returned to the United States in1949 to Hammond, Indiana. An article in theNational Geographic about Albert Schweitzergoing to Aspen, Colorado for the Goethe Bi-centennial moved Arlette and John to visitAspen. They took their first ski lessons in win-ter, 1952, and by November, following herseparation from John, Arlette and Suzy re-turned to Aspen to live. She felt at home in thediverse cultural environment created by themusicians, ski instructors and refugees fromWWII and ran a pre-school in her house onMain Street. She delighted in Aspen’s summermusic festival and the hiking, skiing, andbeauty the mountains provided.
In 1955, Arlette and John remarried andhad their second daughter, Ruth Margaret, inDenver. Active members of the Institute for In-ternational Education, they met and enter-tained visitors from all over the world. She andJohn learned to fly single engine planes.
In 1959, Arlette joined the spiritual associ-ation, Subud, adopted the new name “On-dine” and remained an active Subud memberfor life. She also belonged to the Episcopalcathedral in Denver, St. John’s, where she waspart of a religious discussion group that lastedmore than 20 years. She loved working withsmall children and volunteered at Head Startfor many years.
In 1970 Arlette and Johnbought land in the CrystalRiver Valley and returned tomountain life. Arlette taughtconversational Spanish at Col-orado Mountain College for20 years and ran the GreatBooks program at Carbon-dale’s library until her final ill-ness. She attended St.Benedict’s Monastery formany decades and loved bak-ing bread for the monks. Shevolunteered at Heritage Park.In 2013 she and John moved
into Carbondale where she found the perfecthome with a beautiful view of Mount Sopris.Besides raising two daughters, Arlette devoted40 years to nurturing nine grandchildren andseven great-grandchildren. Even people whoare not her grandchildren called her Vovó, thePortuguese word for Grandma. An illness hos-pitalized her in November and eventually ledto her peaceful death at home with a grand-daughter on each side in her own bedroom.The night before she smiled joyfully at eachfamily member and said, “Boa Noite. Durmabem” (Good night. Sleep well). She left us withthe knowledge that her soul eagerly antici-pated her next life as spirit.
Arlette is survived and will be loved alwaysby her husband, John; her daughters, Illène(Suzy) Pevec and Ruth Margaret Lawyer; herson-in-law Donald Sunderland; her grandchil-dren Adriana, Lucien, Olivia, Zuleika andHamilton Pevec, Jennifer, Larisa, Jamie andGabrielle Sunderland; and her great-grandchil-dren , Ruthie, Isabella and AnaSophia Brownand Aisha and Wynne Pevec and Milo Sun-derland. Her great- granddaughter TsukikoKodama predeceased her.
Arlette was interred at Evergreen cemeteryin a family directed green burial. A bicyclecortege brought her to the grave, a final ride weknow she would have enjoyed immensely as sherode bikes on her honeymoon and loved takingher grandchildren for rides when they were lit-tle. A memorial will be held after Christmas.
The family thanks Home Care and Hos-pice of the Valley for the nine month’s help andloving care they provided for Arlette in herhome. People wishing to make a donation inArlette Ondine’s name can please do so to theCarbondale Branch Library or Home Care &Hospice of the Valley.

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.
