Maplewood Manor
staff deserve to be
called heroes
To the Editor,
A hero is described as someone
who is greatly regarded for his or
her qualities. Seaforth has 13
heroes in my books.
The staff of Maplewood Manor
went far above their call of duty in
dealing with its closure. How many
of us would go to work, not know-
ing if we would be paid, be able to
put a smile on our faces and reach
down inside and put on a compas-
sionate, caring personality for
those we were taking care of?
The residents were like an
extended family to the staff, so the
staff not only lost their jobs, they
lost part of their family. The resi-
dents and their families were the
staff's first priority; this was
shown by the staff's compassion
and care.
Hats off to the staff at
Maplewood Manor. You all deserve
a gold medal.

sexism and shallowness but both are common elements in our world.
And, while these young women are expected to "look good" while
they're taking on all sorts of crazy challenges in a photo shoot, I find
myself attracted to Banks' definition that to be beautiful is to be
"fierce."
That's just the kind of courageous, spirited inner beauty that I can
appreciate.
