Classes offered at Goshen Hospital

Goshen Hospital is offering a Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) class on Monday, Feb. 23, and Wednesday, Feb. 25, from 6:30-9:30 p.m. at the hospital’s Pepple Auditorium. 'CardioPulmonary Resuscitation is an emergency measure which almost everyone can learn in a short time. CPR may keep the heart attack patient alive until more advanced life support is available. When a person’s heart stops for any reason — heart attack, electrical shock, drowning, smoke inhalation — the first few minutes can mean the difference between life and death. The American Heart Association estimates that 50,000 heart attack victims could be saved annually if emergency care were available at the scene. CPR can provide that immediate care. It involves mouth-to-mouth breathing and chest massage to restart the stopped heart. Its purpose is to keep the heart attack victim alive until advanced life support is available. T&a-ehers, homemakers, students, policemen, businessmen, restaurant employees and families of heart patients should all take advantage Os CPR training. With the knowledge of proper CPR techniques, a person may be able to save a life. Anyone interested in CPR can enroll by calling the education department at Goshen Hospital. Pre-registration is required as class size is limited. There is a class fee which includes book and materials. Heart Disease The hospital will also feature a series of classes on the prevention and management of heart

Cards Os Thanks IN MEMORIAM Os The February 12th Birthday , Os Kenneth W. Harkless 1 At home upon my wall is a paintj ing of the sea. 1 1ts waves breaking on the solid rock in nature s harmony, locked in a moment by the ar tist s skillful handsfr Are nature s symbols of all that flows and stands. The rock: the permanence of life; its enduring history. The sea: the ever new; its changing quality. Ken Harkless was the artist anef in that work was sealed The character of rock and sea that his whole life revealed. He and the town in parallel worked. and strove, and grew; Its growing pains and civic joys he likewise felt and knew. Around the gush of flowing water, the rock stood strong and fast. And amid bright new silver things, he loved the golden past. On that rock he worked his magic in scenes that all could see That heritage that forms us now, our treasured history. His wisdom taught that that steadfast rock could not unwashed remain. The flood of beneficial change must bathe it clean from stain. He knew that memory is a crumbling rock unfed by a future dream, So out of his life came new nourishment in an ever-flowing stream. The growth and welfare of his home marked his every enterprise, And a fierce pride in his community resided in his eyes. Ken s life spoke of permanence and of the ever new, Os rocklike endurance and flowing change in phrases strong and true. May a greatful community with new water upon this faithful rock engrave: "He loved where he lived, gave where he loved, and lived what he gave.” His memory is now a pleasant gift in a painting of the sea, Its waves breaking on the solid rock in a joyful mystery.
