“My hope still is to leave the

world a bit better than when I

got here.”

Into the Wild

Humans have settled 77% of Earth’s surface, so what

places are left unexplored?

This September, Wilderness Month, we take a look at

the world’s wildest places.

Antarctica definitely tops the list of one of the wildest and

most remote places on Earth, but few want to go

there. For those interested in cold and inaccessible

places, far from the touch of civilization, there is the Kamchatka Peninsula in Rus-

sia’s Far East. It is Russia’s land of fire and ice, thanks to its proximity to the Arctic

and its many volcanoes. It harbors an abundance of wildlife, including brown bears,

wolves, reindeer, mountain sheep, whales, sea eagles, and the breeding grounds of

the spoon-billed sandpiper. The peninsula was off-limits to outsiders until 1990

due to its strategic importance to Russia’s submarine bases.

Papua New Guinea also remains one of the world’s least-explored places. Scientists

believe that many of the world’s undiscovered plants and animals live deep within

the rugged, inaccessible jungles of the country’s interior. Due to a lack of infrastruc-

ture, travel to and around Papua New Guinea is extremely limited.

For those looking for an otherworldly experience, there is the barren yet beautiful

Atacama Desert of Chile. This high mountain desert gets almost no rainfall. Its 40,000

square miles is covered in salt basins, sand, and lava. In fact, it is so devoid of life that

NASA uses it to replicate conditions on Mars. It is so far from light pollution and radio

interference that it is one of the best places in the world to spy on the universe,

which is why two major observatories have been constructed here.

How much longer will such untouched corners of Earth exist? No one knows. But

there is still ample time to visit and protect these pristine natural jewels.

Mums—Fall Favorites

Fall is just around the corner and we’re once again partnering

with Marcum’s Nursery for the Sale of Mums. We will have

them available in a variety of colors . The Mums are in 2/gal.

pots for $20/ea.

Every fall many of us purchase Mums for our homes and offic-

es. This year, please consider buying them from Arbor

House. Proceeds benefit the End of Alzheimer’s.

Pre-paid orders must be turned in by Sept. 9th and will be

available for pick up on Oct. 2nd & 3rd. We accept cash or

checks. Please make checks payable to: Arbor House.

Thank you for your support!

Giving new meaning to Life

The Arbor House Philosophy is based

on the belief that each resident is

entitled to the highest quality of life

through wellness services that work

to promote independence, healthy

lifestyles, dignity, and a sense of

security.

The right of each resident to deter-

mine his/her need is respected at

each level of care, and promoted by

providing services in ways that rec-

ognize individuals needs and prefer-

ences.

A partnership exists between resi-

dents and staff to promote individu-

al’s independence while providing

the necessary support to function at

his/her highest level.
