Addicted
To Glass

Mosaic art partners bring
colorful joy to the world.

Suzanne Chessler I Contributing Writer

I

think I see the world in glass," says artist
Morrine Maltzman. "No matter what I look
at, I wonder what it would look like as a
mosaic. Glass has a glow, a warmth and a sparkle
that makes me happy."

C

ourtney Shafer has a thankless job. She spends
her work week caring for the grounds at Hebrew
Memorial Park, yet all she's likely to hear from visi-
tors are complaints: There are weeds around my mother's
grave; there's litter on the grounds.
Barbara Kohler of West Bloomfield is one of those dis-
satisfied visitors.
"I was there on Father's Day and I was very upset at how
it looked:' said Kohler, whose father, Aaron Friedman,
died in 2012; her mother, Dolly Friedman, passed in 2013.
Kohler said their graves were surrounded by numer-
ous weeds. She documented through photographs other
gravesites in need of weeding as well as graves with neglect-
ed water bottles.
This summer has been particularly bad for weeds, said
Shafer, part of a grounds crew of 18 who maintain the cem-
etery at 14 Mile and Gratiot in Clinton Township.
