Helpers help helipad project take off

Back and forth. Back and forth. The brown cement became as bright as the afternoon sun as volunteers pushed their paint rollers at the helipad behind the old hospital building on Friday afternoon. Even though it was hot in the 90-degree heat, the volunteers didn't complain, even as sweat rolled down their brows and backs. To them, this was no ordinary paint job, it was a labor of love --a labor that could help save a life.
