New York State Department of Health today recognized eight emergency medical service providers who died in 2017 as a result of injuries or illnesses sustained while performing their duties. The honorees - Yadira Arroyo, Mario Bastidas, Rose Scott, Mark Harris, Edith Torres, Cory Moore, Gregg Williams and Roderick Cota, were added to the Tree of Life EMS Memorial today on the Empire State Plaza in Albany.
The ceremony was attended by EMS professionals and first responders from across New York State.
Each year New York State honors the brave men and women that make the ultimate sacrifice while serving their fellow New Yorkers as emergency medical service providers. This year's honorees join 67 other EMS professionals represented on the memorial.
EMS professionals in New York State include certified first responders, EMTs, advanced EMTs, and paramedics who provide pre-hospital emergency patient care and transport. New Yorkers are served by nearly 2,000 ambulance and emergency medical response and transportation agencies that provide Advanced Life Support or Basic Life Support services.

This was my first real go around with Adobe Lightroom 3. I'd been lamenting my point and shoot's "hazy" daytime shots, so I probably went a little overboard trying to bring the colors in this to life. I've a lot to learn, but I think it's an OK start. It'll be interesting to revisit this photo later on, after I've learned these tools a bit better.

An example of Mexican folk art as presented at the Museo de Arte Popular in Cancun, Mexico. I visited this small musuem in 2005, but on my most recent trip to Cancun the musuem had moved. I think they are now located near X'Caret.
