Banff Tour Bus Kills 1 Pedestrian, Injures Another
BANFF, Alta. — A woman was killed and a man was injured when they were struck by a tour bus in Banff National Park on Wednesday.
Police said the two passengers got off the bus and were hit when the empty vehicle rolled forward and down an embankment at the Castle Mountain viewpoint between Banff and Lake Louise.
"A man and woman were standing in front of the bus,'' Cpl. Hal Turnbull said. "For some reason the bus rolled forward and struck both of them before going over the embankment and coming to rest at the bottom, which is about 20 metres or so.''
No one else was injured.

The bus ended up partly submerged in the Bow River.
RCMP said the 53-year-old woman and the man, 55, are both from Ontario. Their names and hometowns were not released.
The man was being treated for serious injuries at a Calgary hospital.
The tour bus was operated by Calgary-based Amazing Travel, said Shawn Zhou, the company's manager.
Zhou said there were 20 passengers on the tour with one driver.
Police said the passengers were taken to a senior's centre in Banff.
The Castle Mountain viewpoint is a popular spot for tourists and hikers in the Bow Valley.

In Guatemala, more light means better lives, more opportunity.
Retiree provides solar flashlights to impoverished Guatemalans,extending their days and improving their lives.
SAINT PAUL, Minn. – March 17, 2014 – Every day, a few minutes on either side of 6:00 p.m., when the sun goes down on the 31,000 residents of Cahabon, Guatemala, the majority of them enter a world of darkness that endures until the sun returns the following morning. With no electricity available and no money to buy even candles – let alone oil lamps or flashlights and batteries – the residents of Cahabon live 12-hour days that last 24 hours: Its location, as the cuervo flies, is about 85 miles northeast of the capital of Guatemala City, or just 15° north of the equator. For them, every day of the year brings just 12 hours of sunlight.
On one of her dozen humanitarian trips that began 15 years ago, Bonnie Tout, a retiree living on Social Security, recognized that for these Guatemalans, extended available light could translate into improved quality of life. Her solution was to take and distribute 60 solar rechargeable flashlights – and later another 96 – provided initially by another company and subsequently by Verilux, Inc., at a heavily reduced price. Verilux has its Marketing and Research and Development Departments in St. Paul.
Tout says the benefit has been amazing.
"The flashlights have made an enormous difference in these people's lives," Tout explained. "They extend the time people have to do chores, prepare meals, read, study, enjoy each other, and engage in activities that make an impoverished existence a bit more fulfilling and livable."
A Verilux ReadyLight Solar Rechargeable Flashlight has an eight-square-inch solar panel on its side and, fully charged, provides eight to 10 hours of illumination from six LEDs. The light is full spectrum: It mimics the best qualities of natural light, so these families can see moreclearly and experience less fatigue than with conventional light. The flashlights are made of durable plastic and have a carabiner-style hook.
Tout also noted that without the flashlights, many residents would get their light via bottles filled with kerosene and a crude wick that provided far inferior illumination, posed a carbon-monoxide risk, and could be a fire hazard.
The flashlights are so coveted that residents protect them against damage and secure them in whatever ways they can: Olga Yalibat Macz of nearby Cobán has slept with hers under her pillow since she got it five years ago. Tout is also quick to point out the magnitude of the missing light.
"Cahabon is one of literally hundreds of communities in Guatemala that have no access to electricity," she says. "That translates into thousands of people whose only available light comes from the sun. That works in the daytime but not so well after sunset."
In addition to the benefit of the light, Tout sees the sale and distribution of solar flashlights as a sustainable business opportunity for the locals. She's quick to add, though, that their price would have to be heavily subsidized to make the flashlights affordable to folks who can afford very little. In one effort last December, residents were able to sell 40 Verilux solar flashlights, but at the price the market could bear, it left them little or no profit.
"I have huge respect for these Guatemalans – for their strength, agility and ability to adapt to a rugged environment," Tout said. "A successful solar flashlight enterprise would be a small but important step to moving them out of poverty and into a better life."
Nicholas Harmon, Verilux CEO, has been glad to help.
"Those of us in the developed world take light for granted, and its availability greatly impacts how much we can accomplish and how much we can enjoy our daily lives," he said. "Turn off the lights, and you've turned off opportunity."

[Introductory note from Jason Pratt: the previous entry in this series of posts can be found here. The first entry can be found here.]
There are many devout people who rightly (I believe) value a faith in God above all other possessions, but who will also see my attempts as striking against a true relationship with God.
I think they are quite correct (as I will discuss much later) that it is better to have a living relationship with God and to work with Him, than only to understand God in some technical sense. Furthermore, I agree that if it is possible to discover the existence and character of God by reasoning from neutral propositions, this neither can nor shall ultimately benefit the thinker unless he takes the next step and chooses to work with God personally. [See first comment below for a footnote here.]
But although I agree with these notions, I do not think it logically follows from these notions that such a discovery by logical analysis must necessarily fail. Consequently, these notions do not stand in the way of making attempts along this line.
Yet again, for some people, that is just the problem with my attempt: I am using reason to build (or to build up) faith, and they have been taught all their lives that faith and reason are mutually exclusive. These people would say, at best, that my book must fail to reach any useful conclusion; maybe even that I am blaspheming by even suggesting that human reason can search out the Infinite.
This sort of opinion comes and goes throughout Christianity's history. [Footnote: it certainly isn't restricted to the history of Christianity, but it seems best for me to focus there, as a Christian apologist.] In this case, it last rose in ascendance between the middle of the 17th century and the beginning of the 19th, where it climaxed into a supposed schism between 'religion' and 'science'.
The roots of the widespread acceptance of this strategy are too complex for more than a brief summary in this entry. But the result was that during this period great sceptical thinkers were becoming more numerous than they had ever been previously; great sceptical moralists were culminating a barrage on the abuses of the various branches of the Church (and there were certainly abuses taking place for them to legitimately snipe at); and the Church had managed to remove or suppress the majority of its own great thinkers who might have met the opposition steel-for-steel in philosophical dispute.
The various branches of the Church became aware that they were losing ground. They had to choose between educating people to be able to take care of themselves (because people were becoming increasingly exposed to alternate viewpoints in the media--a situation obviously still in effect today); or else setting up an ideological fortress mentality.
But the branches had previously, in their complacency, let the opposition get too far ahead for anything less than a multi-generation educational program to work. They had few resources to begin such a task, and such a plan might entail the loss of massive numbers of people from the Church until the regrouping and regrowth could be established--and I remind the sceptic that most Christians would equate such a departure with the damning of those souls. [See second comment below for a footnote here.]
Aside from all this, such a program would have had serious political ramifications; and the Church at that time, although divesting itself (slowly) from the political arena, was still very much more a political creature than we find her today. [See third comment below for a footnote here.]
Thus, erecting a fortress mentality must have seemed the safest, quickest, most (relatively) effective means of ensuring that as many people as possible were not deceived by these opponents and, thereby, lose their souls. And, when it came to it, these new generations of vocal opposition were formidably skilled; disputing with them would be dangerous and difficult. [See fourth comment below for a footnote here.]
So, near the turn into the 19th century, we find a long-running development in Western thought to the effect that religious 'Faith' and intellectual 'Reasoning' must be considered to be mutually exclusive operations. [See fifth comment below for a footnote here.]
Naturally, this sort of lesson went down very smoothly for the vast numbers of people who had no great mental strength or training themselves: they need not worry about the arguments of the opposition (or even worry about the scripturally sanctioned duty of understanding their own position as well as they can); for they have Faith. [Footnote: I still have had to be very brief, even overly brief, in covering this issue; though hopefully I have done so in a fashion that a sceptic will find recognizeable.]
It would be a caricature (although one occasionally employed by sceptics who prefer dealing with straw men) to say this is the final position of any Christian since those times--or at least (they might say) the final position of any Christian who really is a Christian and is not really something else (merely claiming Christian coloring for, say, political purposes or social standing).
But there have also been Christians responding against this dichotomous division of principle, especially as the 19th century began changing to the 20th; who have truly and seriously been engaged in defending a 'rational faith'. [See sixth footnote below for a footnote here.] As in every field, not all these people have been especially proficient; and so the actual number of Christian 'apologists' who are worth time disputing (or paying attention to) remained small. Here, at the beginning of the 21st century, there are more of these people doing better work than ever; yet they are still drowned in Christian literature (and in Christian outreach programs) by primarily emotional appeals. And this disproportion can leave the 'taste' that 'real' religion (including 'real' Christianity) is not concerned with positively analytical thought.
For many people, then, a division of faith and reason remains a cornerstone of 'real religion'--particularly, of 'real' Christianity.
And here is the crushing irony: it is a lesson that sceptics have learned very well from believers.
What does the typical sceptic see and hear when, by happenstance, she is exposed to a typical Christian witness? She receives the impression that to accept Christianity she must reject her own ability to think; and/or that there can be no 'reason' to believe in God--she must have 'faith' instead.
She is given no reason to believe. Not surprisingly, she doesn't believe.
"Well, tough for her!" the believer may snort. "I don't know ontological or cosmological arguments either, and I believe. I 'only' have Faith; if I can do it, she can do it. Therefore, she should have done it!"
But such a reply (felt at bottom, I suspect, in many believers although not usually expressed so directly!) flies against a charitable attitude towards witnessing.
The sceptic does not have any of the advantages a believer already has (presuming the believer is in fact correct). The believer may be mistaking his privileges for humble submission on his part and sinful intransigence on the sceptic's. Is he quite sure he would accept Christianity given no reasons at all (plus what seem to be many reasons against it, which the sceptic may be exposed to and the believer often will not have been)? And if any particular reasons may help ground an accurate religious belief, then for all one can know beforehand other reasons may work just as well or better! The cases must be judged on an individual basis.
"Yes," the believer may reply, "but as it happens, I am quite sure I would accept Christianity if I were like her and given no reasons at all; for I have been given no reasons and I accept it."
In Proverbs chapter 14, verse 15, Solomon (the attributed author) states that "The simple believe everything while (in contrast) the prudent man considers his steps." That whole chapter and many of the surrounding ones equate the prudent man with the good, and both with the man who fears and obeys and loves God. So, if you really have no reasons to believe--if you are not "prudently considering your steps"--which of these two men described by Solomon do you represent if you nevertheless give assent to a 'belief'!?
"But this case is different!"
"Because now we are talking about a belief in God!"
What makes that a different case?
"Because... the rewards and perils and duties are the greatest?"
[Footnote: I am obviously dealing in this entry with a fairly common and unsophisticated version of the question of faith and reason. A few entries from now, I will be considering it from a far more technical standpoint.]
But this begs the question: how do you know there are rewards and perils and duties?
"The Bible says so."
Why should we believe it?
"Because it is true."
How can a sceptic know it is true?
"She cannot, she must just trust it."
In other topics you would call this the irresponsible behavior of a credulous fool. [See seventh comment below for a footnote here.] You yourself would not agree to a belief on other topics in this manner; you would consider it an insult for other people to assume that you would or require that you should. She does not know these scriptures should be trusted, and you give her no means of help.
"God will help her."
Then your witness is useless; God must come to her in some other way than through Christian witnesses.
"He can reach her through the Bible."
The Bible says that God has chosen to work effectively through us as witnesses; you have just testified this is functionally impossible! Why should she trust Scripture when you yourself deny it speaks sensibly on such a basic issue?
"There is no reason why she should, she simply must."
Then Scripture is no help to her either.
"God will help her."
But apparently not through Scripture or Christian witnesses. You (not I!) would say this essentially denies the superior truth of the Christian religion. No wonder she is a sceptic! Who is God more likely to punish for this: her or you!?
As I have just illustrated, a denial of a link between faith and reason not only erects an unnecessary barrier between a sceptic and the truth (as I think Christianity to be), but also undermines any claim Christianity (or any other theism) may have to truth--even if we stick to a 'simple' faith.
But an even more pernicious problem rises in this situation; and although a believer of this sort may not recognize it, the sceptic very probably will...
[Next week: so, how exactly was that believer getting to his own belief after all?]

The first several comments are footnotes I thought would be too unwieldy to represent in the main entry.
.......[first extended footnote starts here]
Such work might, by necessity, entail service--assuming we discover we are not equal to, or superior to God!--and I suspect the concept of being a servant is an emotional barrier for many sceptics. At least, I find it to be an emotional barrier for many believers (including myself!); and I do not know why a sceptic, of all people, would have an easier time with the concept, especially in today's individualistic Western society. Nevertheless, emotional barriers are not logical barriers. If the best I can be is a servant of God, in the work He works, then it would be unrealistic (to say the least) for me to treat the situation as being otherwise. I will have much more to say about this later.
.......[second extended footnote starts here]
My point being, that what can with some legitimacy be called over-restrictiveness, may be the best charity the people involved can imagine or can implement at the time. Whenever I hear Christians being morally horrified that Muslims persecute Christian missionaries in some countries, I remind them that to devout ultraconservative Muslims, we Christians are worse than mass murderers, because they think we are seducing people into an atrocious blasphemy and thus damning their souls. Those people are doing their best to stand up for God and to protect the good, against evil. The Christian Church has occasionally executed people on similar grounds.
.......[third extended footnote starts here]
I find it interesting that the most politically outspoken groups on questions of religion, are still the ones who would prefer the general population to be unthinkingly acceptive about certain proposals concerning religion. This is just as true, although in a different direction, for the so-called 'liberal' groups as for the 'conservatives': I will have more to say later about the ironic intolerance of groups who stress maximum religious 'tolerance'.
.......[fourth extended footnote starts here]
The sceptic may reasonably ask why it apparently occurred to very few people that God, not being stupid, would understand and charitably allow that many of these people would not be leaving the Church out of willful rejection of perceived truth, but out of an honest mistake. A large part of why this didn't occur to more people can be explained from this observation: even though the vast majority of people who call themselves 'Christian' (including myself) agree that it is Christ the Redeemer and Advocate who (in various ways) delivers God's grace to the world, it is also true that many Christians think God is limited to Christianity (the religion) as the only vehicle for this communication. The question, in practical effect, tends to come down to whether the claim 'Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life' entails or equals the effective claim that 'the Church and/or Christianity is the Way, the Truth and the Life'. I will be discussing this much later.

This development hardly stopped there. On the contrary, it accelerated so effectively that by the end of the 19th century there was a general feeling, still popularly in effect today, that it began in that century. Meanwhile, although the Eastern Church did not undergo the same historical process, it had long ago incorporated so much apophatic or 'negative' theology as a primary tool, that it had already long-since arrived at a largely counter-rational theology result.

These people can also be found in previous eras of our history, of course. Isaac Newton, for instance, considered himself to be writing, in effect, a Christian apologetic against mechanistic atheism, when he wrote his Principia. I do not think this was merely a convenient coloring on his part to allow social acceptance of his ideas (which would not have been necessary by his time anyway); for he also wrote extensive volumes on the interpretation of Judeo-Christian prophecy! (Besides, he was very consciously and intentionally 'unorthodox' in his belief on some points, so he obviously had no problem speaking out against doctrines he disagreed with.)

.......[seventh extended footnote starts here]
The "folly of the cross" mentioned by Saint Paul, refers to the criticism Christians received for insisting on retaining the crucifixion as a historical event, which in Judaism had shameful religious connotations, and which for the Greeks was virtually a call to be destroyed by Rome as a rebel against the Empire. Paul's remarks concerning the 'foolishness' of God being wiser than men need to be kept in their topical context. Unfortunately, they're often appealed to as an excuse for theological incoherency instead.

This is a very interesting portion of this series. I agree that the witness of "just believe" is not very convincing -- okay, not convincing at all -- to the half-educated skeptic. But then, I think that skeptics who are even half-educated are a minority of skeptics. Most simply don't want to believe and latch onto any half-baked argument as justification for their failings.
There is much to be said for the "just believe" method of evangelism when one is out speaking with people who aren't hardened skeptics. A simple appeal will often reach more people than a voluminous work of apologetics. Why is this? Three reasons: first, too often we apologists set up reasons to doubt with our efforts to apologize. Perhaps the person before us has never heard of the arguments against apostolic authorship of the Gospels, and when we apologists try to respond to these arguments (no matter how good our arguments may be) it may raise questions in the mind of the person that he had never considered until that point. These questions may be readily answerable, but the answers may raise more questions. Eventually, you end up in an endless cycle of questions that never would have been raised if we hadn't tried to delve too deeply at the beginning with a defense of all things Christian or Biblical.
Second, I think that we have to take into account the nature of the Gospels. there is a spiritual element involved in sharing the Gospel. This spiritual element is not always addressed to the mind, but often to the heart. The most hardened atheist can break down and convert if his heart is in the right place when God calls. That person doesn't always need answers -- they may simply need conviction. Sometimes, bypassing all of the heady stuff will bring a more direct response.
Third, there is an element of pride that gets in the way. We apologists generally consider ourselves to be a smart lot. As such, we tend to take a certain amount of pride in our arguments. But when we think we are the ones doing the converting, then I think that God may say, "Okay, you convert them." Last time I checked, my ability to change someone's heart is not very good. If we, however, recognize that all of our arguments are really gifts from God and give Him praise for them, then God can use us in a powerful way. The person who is saying, "Just believe" is admittedly not depending on their own powers and reasoning to reach the other person, but are almost necessarily relying solely on God to do the work. Relying on God is certainly the more effective way to act.
Having said all of that, I certainly agree that the work of the apologist is both good and Biblical. I think that people who take the approach of the person in your dialogue are confused, mistaken and largely ineffective. There is no dichotomy between faith and reason (rightly understood).
I hope this is making sense 'cause I'm typing very fast and having to leave very quickly.

{{There is much to be said for the "just believe" method of evangelism when one is out speaking with people who aren't hardened skeptics.}}
If that's in the sense of try-and-see, I agree. But that'll be covered (in principle) next week, as well as onward through the series. It isn't an example of a big ugly ditch between religious faith and reason.
My main goal in this portion of the series is to check on whether there are realistic barriers in the way of drawing inferences to conclusions on metaphysical topics, including in a fashion that a (current) sceptic of various sorts would be able to also do: the point being that such a process could be done together. Obviously, if a faith/reason dichotomy is true, then that would be an insuperable barrier and I might as well go home early. {g}
{{A simple appeal will often reach more people than a voluminous work of apologetics.}}
Certainly, and for the reasons you gave, too. (This will also be discussed in relevant passing next week.)
In regard to the second and third elements: recall that in my Eth&t3rdPers series this summer (which is part of this same work but several hundred pages down the line {s}), I arrived at the recognition that the Holy Spirit, the 3rd Person of God, is constantly evangelizing each of us. Anything I do, simple or complex, can only be secondary (at best) to this. (Also, my second paragraph in this entry clarifies major restrictions and distinctions between having beliefs and being faithful.)
Not-entirely-incidentally {g}, when I started talking about sin and the wages of sin in that series, I not only focused on myself but explicitly identified pride as being the key sin, with illustrations of how this works in my life. This (also not incidentally) is why, when talking about the sin of heresy (which I distinguish from a mere fact of heresy), I typically use, as an example, the test-case of me preaching strictly orthodox theology for my own purposes. Even though technically I wouldn't be a heretic to do so, I would still be comitting the sin of heresy to do so: going my own way with it.
Anyway, it should be said (and I do say it in my Introduction, which I didn't put up for this series, in order to move things along {ironic s}) that this is not intended to be some kind of all-purpose evangelization tool. It was partly a self-disciplinary exercise, and partly a project to see how far I could fairly get in a straight-line argument (and what would be necessary for structuring such an argument.)
{{I hope this is making sense 'cause I'm typing very fast and having to leave very quickly.}}
Yeppy-yep! {beam!} No actual disagreements with you; and it made fine sense to me anyway.
Btw, I tried to put the dialogue in tabs, but they apparently didn't take, which is weird. I mean, Blogger itself dropped in huge galumphing html codes in those places, but they don't seem have accomplished anything formatting-wise. Sigh.

The last chapter.
Jesse's POV
The car wasn't going anywhere. No matter how hard Joel tried, it just wasn't happening. I didn't mind though; the day was nice, the breeze was warm and there was no one trying to kill us.
I sat behind Ellie in the car. She didn't seem as relaxed as I was and kept tracing her arm. She had been doing that a lot lately. It still looked raw and blistered so I hoped it wasn't hurting her.
"You okay?" I asked, leaning over to place my chin on her shoulder. She tensed a little.
"I'm fine."
"You don't sound fine." I hadn't been letting her get away with stuff like that anymore. I knew when she wasn't okay. I could read her like a Savage Starlight comic.
"I am. Just...thinking," she said before leaning her cheek against mine and closing her eyes.
"What about?" I mumbled, lazily looping my arms around her waist. Despite the lack of my confession (I'm getting to it) we wormed our way into these situations so easily it's like I already had. Actually being able to call her mine and be in these moments would only make it better.
I felt her eyelashes against my cheek as they fluttered. "Jesse I-"
The hood slammed shut and Ellie jumped out of the embrace. Joel sauntered round, dusting off his hands. "Looks like we're walking." Ellie hopped up and out of the car. I stayed where I was, already wanting to punch Joel in his beardy face. "I interrupt something?" I glared at Joel but he didn't seem affected. "When you gonna tell her?"
"When the time is right."
He rolled his eyes at the usual answer. "You gotta grow some stones boy. You're almost sixteen." He looked over his shoulder. Ellie was gazing into the forest, her back to us. He came closer and leaned down. "Somethin's bothering her. I don't know what but she seems to relax when you two get cosy."
"Before she pushes me away like I'm the Infected one," I grumbled.
"Maybe now is the time then," Joel said. "She ain't gonna wait forever."
"How do I know she even likes me? She just might be the cuddly type."
Joel gave me a pointed look. "I don't think Ellie would even high-five someone she didn't trust. Have you ever seen her get that close with anyone else?" I shook my head. "Then go for it kiddo."
"Are you guys coming or what?" Ellie demanded, tapping her foot impatiently.
Joel looked to me briefly. "Uh...yeah. Should be a straight shot through those woods."
Ellie looked towards the trees. "Alright."
She set off without waiting so Joel jogged to catch up so she could get through the barbed wire. Once we were all through we set off, letting Joel lead the way. It's not that we didn't know which way to go, I just think Ellie wanted to get a good look at everything.
Joel started to talk about Sarah, saying how the two of them used to hike. He talked about how Ellie would have liked her and how they could have been good friends. I get the feeling Joel still had the image of his little girl in his head, considering he never once mentioned whether or not I would like her.
It was okay, Ellie was all I needed anyway.
We made it to the top, looking down into the clearing. The settlement was nestled peacefully among the mountains, the river running through the dam and into the town. Electricity was running through the power lines and all the lives down there continued on peacefully.
"There it is," I breathed.
We moved closer to the settlement, crossing the stream that ran from the mountains and fed into the river. It took some scaling but we finally got up and onto the other side. From here we were in the clear. I was so excited I almost left Ellie and Joel in the dust.
"Hey...guys wait." Joel and I stopped and I hadn't even realised Ellie was lagging behind us. She was fiddling uncomfortably with her hands and looked so at war with herself I was afraid she'd turn tail and run away. With a heavy sigh she seemed to make her decision. "Back in Boston...Back when I was bitten. I wasn't alone. My best friend was there. And she got bit too." I went to her side instantly and she smiled appreciatively. Joel stayed put and waited for her to continue. "We didn't know what to do. So...she says, 'Let's just wait it out. Y'know we can be all poetic and just lose our minds together'." Her bottom lip started to tremble but she gulped it down. "I-I'm still waiting for my turn."
"Ellie-" Joel tried.
"Her name was Riley and she was the first to die." She looked to me. "And then it was Tess. And then Sam."
I still hated it when she brought him up but this wasn't about me.
"None of that is on you," Joel said sternly.
"No you don't understand," Ellie said desperately. This wasn't about her getting it off her chest, she needed us to know this about her before we restarted.
But Joel seemed to think he already had it. "I struggled with surviving for a long time. So has Jesse. And you – no matter what, you gotta keep finding something to fight for." I grabbed Ellie's hand and squeezed it but she pulled hers away. "I know that's not what you want to hear right now bu-"
"Swear to me," Ellie cut off. "Swear to me that everything you said about the Fireflies is true."
Ellie couldn't see my face from where she stood. If she could she would see me staring at Joel, silently begging him to just say the right thing. Make her feel better, lie if he had to, just make it so she would be okay.
"I swear."
She stared at Joel then me, green eyes searching for any sign of deceit. I kept mine lowered, flickering into hers in and out.
She sighed heavily. "Alright, I guess."
Joel let out a breath through his nose. "Good. Let's go."
He started to move but something kept my feet rooted to the spot. Ellie was about to follow but I grabbed her hand. She looked at me confused and Joel stopped to.
"Could you give us a minute?"
Joel wasn't the quickest but he finally seemed to catch on. "Couple minutes, then follow." He set off down the hillside, leaving me and Ellie alone.
I took a deep breath. "So..." God I hated how awkward I started. "I uh...I have something I gotta tell you...you know how you're the only girl I've ever kissed?" she nodded. "Well...I've been thinking about that a lot and...I'm so okay with that."
Her brow furrowed. "I don't get it."
"What I'm saying is..." I trailed off, rubbing the back of my neck. "I...I only want to kiss you. You and no one else. And...I'd like it if you wouldn't kiss anyone either."
Ellie looked up at me for a good few moments. "You only want me?"
I nodded. "Yep. No one else could ever take your place."
Ellie nodded, sighing through her nose. "Then you should know...you're not the first person I've kissed."
"Oh..." I guess that was okay. To be expected really. She was a pretty girl so I can't be mad if she's ever kissed another guy before she met me. "Lucky guy," I said, trying not to sound too disappointed.
"...Girl." I looked wide eyed at Ellie. "I kissed Riley before we got Infected."
My world was slowly starting to crumble but I had to put on a brave face. "So...you're gay?"
"What? No I'm not gay," she protested.
"You don't have to hide it Ellie it's okay. I won't judge you," I tried to calm her down but she started to get the look she gets on her face before one of our arguments breaks out.
"Jesse I'm not gay. Just let me explain."
I was starting to get mad. I was trying to confess my heart to her and she was denying something that would keep me from being with her. "Explain what? That after all this, all the shit, all the fighting, all that time I spent falling more and more in love with you and you're telling me that you kissed a girl and you're not gay?! Then what is it Ellie? What don't I understand?"
"I only kiss people I'm in love with!"
"What good does that do me? You obviously don't have the same feelings I do so why are we dragging this out?" Ellie stared at me, eyes piercing right into mine. That same look she gave me in the tunnel. "Oh..."
"Yeah," she mumbled, looking down.
A goofy smile spread across my face. "So...you love me?"
"I guess. I'm only fourteen." She kept looking at the ground.
"Wow...this is great." She looked up. I kept smiling as I stepped closer, wrapping her in my arms. "I love you too, Ellie."
I started to lean down, my lips less than a millimetre from hers.
"Don't." Her voice cracked as she pushed me back.
"Ellie?" She wouldn't look at me. "Ellie what's wrong?"
"Why?" she kept her eyes lowered but I could hear the bubble in her voice, the hiccups making their way to the surface. "Why did you have to love me."
"You make it impossible not to."
"Don't say shit like that!" She yelled, stepping away from me. "I can't be someone's girlfriend Jesse! I can't be with you the way you deserve! I can't be with anyone like that!"
"Why?" I demanded. "What's stopping you? What are you afraid of? Do you think I'd leave you? I promised I'd follow you! Don't you trust me?"
"You know I do!" she snapped back.
"Then what's stopping you?"
"I'm Infected." Her voice had gone from hysterical to even. "I'm carrying the virus which means I can spread it. If it can be spread through a bite then anything more than a peck is to dangerous. One slip up and you're dead Jesse." Her breathing was heavier now, emotion wracking through her every word. "I can't lose you. You and Joel are all I have left...I'm afraid of being alone and the thought of infecting you..." her voice broke and a sob wracked through her. "Say something," she spat through her tears.
I couldn't though. Nothing could have prepared me for this.
I can't be with the girl I love because she's afraid she'll kill me.
I could feel the tears starting to form as I stepped forwards again, wrapping her in my arms. She crumpled against me, clutching my jacket. This only lasted a few seconds before she remembered what was happening.
"No! No don't!" she beat my chest over and over but I wouldn't let go, just let my tears fall. She gave up and returned to the embrace, sobbing with me.
A few moments went past as we held each other. Knowing we were on the clock, I ended the embrace, pulling back to brush some tears left on her face away.
"So what happens now?" I asked, wiping my own eyes. I wasn't ashamed to cry in front of Ellie.
"We carry on," Ellie said. "We keep fighting. We keep going."
"Knowing that we can't..." I trailed off but she nodded anyway.
"There isn't another way."
I took a deep breath, biting the inside of my lip before releasing it heavily.
So...that's it. It's been fun, I've loved getting your reviews and I've loved watching everyone fall in love with Jesse and watch him grow. This has been my favorite fic to write because you guys have made it a treat to create. I can only hope the ending lived up to expectations.
I am giving you all full permission to review whatever you want. No negative name calling would be appreciated but you can say what you want, flame, call it shit, praise it to the heavens or go full on in depth critique - do whatever you want.
You just might be rewarded.

For the first time, Kentucky River Community Care, Inc. (KRCC) has an occupational therapist on staff.
Jenna Patton, a native of Floyd County, has joined the staff at the region's largest community mental health center (CMHC).
For her, it's a chance to address a significant need she saw in the area.
"I really felt we had a need in the community for occupational therapy in mental health," Patton said. "From seeing clients in the hospital, (I felt) that they needed something when they go home. They needed a way to engage in skill-building."
When you talk to Patton about what she does, you get the feeling that this is her passion in life and that she believes in the importance of the services she provides. It's in the eloquent way she describes her approach with clients, making it evident that they are her primary concern.
Patton graduated from Eastern Kentucky University, and since that time, has spent the last five years serving the people of her home region. For four of those years, she worked in the Acute Rehab Unit at the Hazard ARH before moving over to the ARH Psychiatric Hospital.
"At the hospital, I would notice pretty high-functioning clients coming in, and they just needed a little help here and there with (basic living) skills," Patton explained.
"Those skills keep them safe in the community, keep them independent, and keep them from returning to the hospital as much," she continued. "Because we don't want them in the hospital. We want them out living their lives."
Clients at KRCC can be referred to Patton for therapy, but she also accepts patients referred externally.
While KRCC did not have an occupational therapist prior to hiring Patton, the agency does employ several community support associates (CSAs). Similar to occupational therapy in that CSAs work with clients to promote an independent lifestyle, the difference is that Patton works with clients of all ages in various settings.
That includes improving the way clients function at home, work, school, or in the community.
"We take the occupations, or activities, that people do every day and enhance their independence and performance," Patton noted.
Patton said these are the skills people take for granted: brushing your teeth, driving a car, making a bed, getting in and out of the shower safely, managing finances, or even finding a job. She works with people to overcome obstacles preventing them from leading a normal, more self-determined life.
In addition, Patton teaches her clients – all of whom suffer from developmental, social, physical, or emotional problems – evidence-based coping and calming skills, as well as sensory techniques that use the five senses and movement to soothe a client's mood.
"I just want the people who come to see me leave with a higher level of function and independence, and I want them to be safe, happy, and satisfied with their lives," Patton said.
Patton recently completed her first month at KRCC.
"All of us are incredibly excited for these new services to begin," said Amber Maggard, KRCC's director of children and family services. "Jenna brings a great passion for helping others to this position. As the first OT to join KRCC, we are hoping that these services pave the way for a whole new array of treatment options for our clients."
To schedule an appointment with Patton, whose main office is at the Perry Outpatient facility in Hazard, patients must first submit a referral and doctor's order from their primary physician.
For more information about these and other services, contact KRCC by calling (606)-436-5761 or dial the 24-Hour Crisis and Information Hotline at 1-800-262-7491.
Mindy Miller is the program director for community relations at KRCC.


text: OCHS HISTORY... What started out in 1949 as a simple effort to tend to less fortunate animals in Orange county, has over the years turned into a safe haven for tens of thousands of helpless pets. Now called the Orange County Humane Society (OCHS), the center has just gone through a metamorphosis in hopes of helping even more unwanted or neglected animals. OCHS MISSION... Our employees, along with a group of enthusiastic volunteers, staff the OCHS; and have made it an integral part of the local community. Numerous animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits and reptiles continue to enjoy the services of the OCHS and it is our goal to continue this mission for as long as stray and sick animals still roam our streets. The Orange County Humane Society (OCHS) is dedicated to the protection of abused, unwanted, neglected and under-appreciated animals. We make every effort to nourish the starved, nurse the sick, accept the unwanted, heal the wounded and endear the abandoned. We are dedicated to the relief of animal suffering, the promotion of animal welfare and the education of the local community. WHAT WE DO... We provide shelter and care to unwanted and lost animals until their owner is found oe a new home is found for them. There are no time limits on an animals stay, as long as they are not aggressive or unadoptable.

The Winning North, or, Newcastle and TV Talent Shows (What Secret Talents Have We Got and Who Voted For Christopher Maloney?)
December 20, 2012 in A WONDROUS SPACE, TYNE AND WEAR, Wondrous Cities, XMAS SPECIAL
In 2000, I dreamed of going into the Big Brother house. In the school common room at break, we'd talk about applying, look up the rules, the process, plan out our auditions. This was by no means the first reality TV we'd seen – Jack had a penchant for 'The Real World' in the nineties, mainly because no-one else we knew had seen it, and I've not forgotten the summer defined entirely by 'Bug Juice', an American documentary-style show about Summer Camp. It was something we lacked. I wanted it. Just as Jack wanted to live in a house like 'The Real World', then 'Big Brother'. We grew up on the Isle of Wight, so we dreamed of going somewhere else, anywhere without a ferry journey separating us from civilization. Perhaps why that first dream saw us isolated with a select group of strangers in a prison-walled house. And each other.
We ended up in Newcastle, not really together, not much of the time, but now, more than ever, our reality TV fantasy is a threatening possibility. Location-wise, the region has spawned a slew of reality show winners. South Shields' Joe McElderry has won two ITV reality shows, some of last year's X Factor winners, Little Mix, were from Newcastle and South Shields, and this year's winner, James Arthur, is from Saltburn, near Middlesborough. And, of course there's Cheryl Cole and that orgasmic hair, which must be a wig at least half of the time, and a fucking good wig at that. In summary, we're bloody good at winning things, presenting things once we've won them and covering other people's songs.
Jack can't dance and I can't sing for shit. I don't have a routine ready for 'Britain's Got Talent', no marketable idea for 'Dragon's Den', but people I work with are winning breakfast TV modelling competitions and singing down the phone for Simon Cowell. Often overlooked for bigger, more cosmopolitan cities with better funding and job prospects, what talent would Newcastle win with if it entered 'Britain's Got Talent'? On a TV contest, what would the city showcase, surprise us with, which could beat a dancing dog? Apart from, you know, glorified karaoke that pleasures Gary Barlow.
The Winning North
Jack says talent isn't teeth bleach. I know this, hypnotised by straight lines, shine and post-brace rows. But we're TV taught that talent hoop-jumps are makeovers, outfits free, celebrity endorsements and exposés at right times: when voting is low or over. My offering, small, like the Frankincense king, can't gazump gold, or compete, even.
The people we meet are dexterous, apt, have uncategorisable talents, wouldn't read the script that Cowell sets. I ask Jack who he knows, what he does that no-one's noticed, and I can tell there's blood behind his eyes, swilling, and he sips his can, but this is not one of his talents, no disrespect. He knows I'd five star him. He says, "I have this friend who knits every present, personally, so that it's clothes you need or something you love – like sharks or dogs. I'm serious." I ask for more.
"I know writers who can't shout loud like some people or choose not to, drummers without permanent fixtures, critics with no platform, musicians in day jobs, models in the wrong location, really: there's a force London move in careers and there shouldn't be. We're rich, really, momentarily, although the plug drain means there's no priority and Nicole Scherzinger said we're talentless when she came here and I've not believed an understood word from her mouth, but it hurts. And the funding goes, like a natural resource, a relic we'd museum-frame, Christian Slater."
Jack asks what I know, who I know, who should've moon-stepped, could pinnacle it. But the list's too long. There's not one talent. But X Factor can't be it. I watched it. I won't fucking lie to you. I enjoy getting angry, and there's so much to get vocal for: Gary Barlow's hypocrisy, Louis' bigotry, Tulisa's delusions of grandeur.
The city, though, iconic, sure, but it's celebration, that's it's talent. The people I know, in the North, know how to celebrate something: a new job, day off, birthday, anniversary, snow. Annie organised a parade, and John camped at Monument, and Ted made a blog to talk about change, and Kim had Christmas at her house. Events every night you could go to and absolute institutions: Tyneside, Hancock, Pink Lane. Links and ties and drinks and a trustable accent according to market research, fireworks, exhibitions in parks in winter and summer fairs and the Town Moor.
Organising's not a personal pastime, not always, but it's the talent of the city and the people in it. That flair that mean's there's complete love of place. And I didn't feel that first, where I was. But now.

Hanoi, Oct.28 (ANI): In a move that can change the dynamics of trade in East Asia and also throw a challenge to China's economic dominance in its own backyard, India is looking forward to negotiate comprehensive free trade agreements with Indonesia and Thailand.
India will step up efforts to negotiate comprehensive trade agreements with Thailand and Indonesia both at official and ministerial level, according to highly placed sources .
Meanwhile, it was disclosed that Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono will be the chief guest during India's Republic Day celebration in 2011.
It may be noted that in 2010, South Korean President was the chief guest at India's Republic Day. And, a comprehensive trade agreement with the country was signed later.
In a bid to activate its Look East policy , during Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh's recent visit to Japan and Malaysia, India conducted prolonged negotiations on Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) and Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA) respectively.
India also hopes to achieve the target of holding 15 billion dollars trade with Malaysia and 20 billion dollars trade with Japan by 2015.
India has already signed comprehensive trade agreements with Korea and Singapore and has also concluded trade and goods agreement with Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN).
ASEAN comprises Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
India is also currently negotiating Free Trade Agreements (FTA) with ASEAN on investment and services, which is expected to be concluded by March 2011.
The bilateral trade pacts are more liberal than those under the ASEAN-India Trade and Goods Agreement.
In trade and services, the individual trade agreements with East Asian countries have progressively been liberalised on a preferential basis, with substantial sectoral coverage, including movement of professionals and skilled persons, cross-border supply, and telecommunication services to provide commercially meaningful market access to both parties.
India is hoping to increase its activities in ASEAN and East Asian region and want to be a part of Asia's success story. By Naveen Kapoor (ANI)

Rochester Adams had big plans at the start of the season to utilize a pair of quarterbacks, but those plans never fully transpired.
Michigan State tight end commit Matt Sokol was the primary option, but the Highlanders had freshman Kyle Wood ready to run some series to allow Sokol to split out wide.
But Wood was derailed by a broken wrist in fall camp.
"One week before the Clarkston game I broke my wrist and so I had a cast on for I think six weeks," Wood said. "Once I got the cast off, I played freshman games with my cast on, but then once I got it off I got pulled back up to varsity. That was against Oxford which I think was Week 5."
Unfortunately, a week later Sokol went out for the season, but fortunately for Adams, Wood was more than ready to take over. The 6-foot freshman split time one week before earning the starting spot and helping keep Adams on track for the playoffs and led the team to a regional finals appearance.
Now, Wood is the guy at the quarterback position moving forward and feels at home with the spot.
"I like the leadership," he said. "I'm not a shy guy. I am pretty outgoing. I just love having the role of being the leader. Getting to call the plays in the huddle and just knowing the team works off of your emotions. …
"I just love knowing that my attitude reflects on others. I just love staying high and all that good stuff."
He also is excited to be joined by more of his classmates, who put together an undefeated freshman campaign, and having 15 of 22 varsity starters back.
"We just have a really hard-working group of guys in my class and the grades above us," he said. "There's no offseason in football and we're all working hard."
He also got a little bit of early attention from Michigan State this fall.
Wood took an unofficial visit for the Spartans game against Michigan and met many of the coaches, including Brad Salem, who recruits his area.
"My favorite part was meeting all the coaches because it's just surreal knowing that you're meeting guys who are coaching some of the best in the nation," he said. "I mean, Michigan State is fourth in the nation right now and knowing that you're shaking the hand and talking to guys who have coached them is sweet."
For the time being, Wood remains focused on the coming season at Adams and putting in a good offseason as he works out with 360QB and Bruce Morris and will be looking into more one-day camps.

Everytime I pass by the great Ocampo Pagoda Mansion, I am filled with curiosity on what the inside of the Masion looks like. I tried asking the people around on how I can go in, but they have no idea.
I got a message from my friend Jam, and she said that the former tenant of the house, Senor Gomez will tour us inside the Ocampo Pagoda House. I was very excited when I heard the news. I set aside my school work and I prepared my camera for the Mansion visit.
About a month ago, one of the former tenants of the Ocampo Pagoda toured us around Quiapo. He told us stories about the owner who is Don Jose Ocampo. He told us various tales, one of them being, the fact that Don Ocampo used to scare people away every night by going up the tower of the Pagoda and making weird ghostly noises, to imply that the mansion is haunted.
He told us that the Ocampo Pagoda used to have a garden and it used to be big but unfortunately after the war and after the Don Jose died, his kids started selling parts of the lot leaving only the Mansion.
You can see that in Bilibid Viejo St. there are statues and ornaments and there are even penguin statues in the gate leaving the memory of what used to be a vast masion.
I was fortunate enough to be invited there. It is not everyday that you get the chance to be toured around a place like that. I hope that it will be open to the public someday, as I believe that it has a huge potential to attract a lot of people aside from heritage conservationists like me, due to its unique style and qualities.

A woman who went to her GP for a suspected kidney infection ended up giving birth in the treatment room - and says she had no idea she was pregnant.
Clare Evans, 24, from Newport, South Wales, visited an out-of-hours surgery complaining of pains in her abdomen.
Doctors had advised her over the phone that she might have a kidney infection, but when she arrived at the surgery her waters broke.
When she arrived at the GP practice, Ms Evans' waters broke and she gave birth to baby Erin Louise Roberts, weighing 6lbs 12oz, in the treatment room at the surgery
That afternoon she gave birth to baby Erin Louise Roberts, weighing 6lbs 12oz, in the treatment room at the surgery.
Ms Evans said: 'They told me on the phone that they suspected I had a kidney infection, so advised me to come in later that day.
'When I got to the surgery I was in quite a lot of pain and because they thought it was an infection, asked me to give a urine sample.
'But when I went to the toilet my waters broke.'
Ms Evans was rushed into the treatment room at the surgery.
After being examined by a doctor she was told staff could see a head and that she was nine centimetres dilated. She said: 'I was so shocked - I told them I didn't know I was pregnant. My life changed then and there in a matter of seconds. I had no signs of pregnancy, I didn't have any morning sickness and I didn't have a bump. The first sign was the pain I experienced that morning.
Although the on-call midwife and an ambulance were called, Ms Evans' contractions were so close together she was unable to go in the ambulance.
Baby Erin had to be delivered at the surgery there and then by the GP, Dr Susan Emerson, her partners and the midwife.
Ms Evans, who was full term, managed the 30 minute birth with no pain relief.
Mother and baby were then taken to Newport's Royal Gwent Hospital to be checked over, but they were both healthy and discharged.
Ms Evans, a first-time mother, said: 'I love motherhood, even though it was completely unexpected I wouldn't change it for the world.'

SO this is not Greek, nor a Big Fat Wedding, but it is Lamb.
Thank you thank you thank you...this is my first ever blog post and I am so excited to share a tradition that my husband and I started 4 years ago. When St. Paddy's Day rolls around, we do our best to make a traditional Irish meal. This is not a quick meal, nor a cheap meal, but it is very fun and I have to admit for the first time we prepared this together in the smallest kitchen we have ever owned and it was a blast. I hope others can have the same experience.
So where do you start? We started with the guest. Jessica and Ryan were our very first guests 4 years ago so it is only fitting that I have the honor of posting this on her blog. (Thank you!!!!) This year we have a goal of having all of the elders in our congregation in our home so we started with the couple we knew the least.
Second, the Menu: Lamb with mint sauce, Colcannon (Irish potatoes), Irish Soda Bread, Spinach Tomato and Feta salad and for Dessert Strawberries and Cream
Last, the recipes and shopping list.
(we chose a boneless leg...8lbs and cut it in half. We froze half for another time.)
1 butterflied (boned) leg of lamb: To butterfly a piece of meat, lay it on it's side and carefully slice in half until you are about an inch above the bottom. Open it like you would a book(upside down) and lay out flat. Set aside and prepare the mint sauce and marinade. (Hind sight is 20/20 right...we recommend you do this a day or two ahead. The longer the meat has to soak in the marinade the better the meat will taste!)
Mint extract
1/2 pint of white vinegar
3 heaping tablespoons of sugar
1 tsp salt
4 T warm water
4 T lemon juice
Chop the mint finely.
Bring the vinegar and water to a boil, then, add half the mint leaves and simmer until reduced by half.
Chopped mint leaves
2 tsp dry or wet mustard
fresh grated pepper
3 tbsp onion juice (we did not use this, we figured the onions had enough juice in them from our tears!)
3 chopped onions
4 tbsp melted butter
1 clove of garlic (we used minced garlic)
• In a blender or food processor (we use a blender stick...my new favorite kitchen tool!) mix the fresh mint, mint sauce, mustard, grated onion. Blend well.
• Lay the leg of lamb in a baking dish and pour the above marinade over it, coating both sides. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Marinate at least 3 hours or overnight, turning several times.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Remove lamb from marinade; save marinade to brush on while grilling. Sprinkle lamb with freshly ground pepper.
• Place lamb in oven uncovered, immediately reduce temperature to 325 degrees, and bake for about 30 minutes.
• Transfer lamb from oven to grill; cook for 15 minutes or so while brushing occasionally with the reserved marinade. I believe properly prepared lamb's full flavor is attained when cooked just until it has a bright pink center. The final grilling seals in the flavor and adds a delectable outer crust.
COLCANNON (Irish Potatoes)
2 lbs. potatoes, well-scrubbed, We "striped" ours (by "striping" I mean only take off part of the peal in order to leave some of the vitamins from the peel in the potatoes) cut any large ones in half
4 tbs. butter
1/3 lb. back bacon, sliced, then finely chopped
1/2 small savoy cabbage, finely shredded
2/3 C. double cream
Meanwhile, heat quarter of the butter in a pan, then fry the bacon and half the cabbage for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside. (If you can't find sliced back bacon, I'd suggest using middle rasher bacon, with the rinds and fat removed.)
Drain the potatoes in a colander.
Mash the potato until smooth, heat the cream with the remaining butter and, when almost boiling, beat into the potato.
Season, to taste and serve.
1 ½ C Coarse Flour
½ C Regular Flour
¼ tstp salt
1 tsp soda
½-3/4 C. buttermilk
(we found that cooking for 30 minutes was good...matter of fact we almost burned it, but if your oven runs cooler it may be different for you...I would check often once you get past 25 minutes. Your goal is golden brown.)
RASPBERRY OR STRAWBERRY CREAM (we chose strawberry because we just received 4 flats of strawberries from a very generous donor to my husbands work place.)
1 1/2 pounds Raspberries or Strawberries
3 egg whites
2 to 3 tablespoons sugar (according to taste)
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Press half the berries through a sieve (we don't have a sieve so we used a metal coffee filter) or food mill to remove the seeds.
Beat the egg whites until stiff, slowly add the sugar beating well. Whip the heavy cream separately,

Well, actually I like it but I seem to be in a bit of a minority. I suppose Dagmar is passed her prime and not all the close ups are as great as they might have been, plus a lot of the acting requirements are beyond the lovely Gloria. Nevertheless this is hardly the frothy, sexy nothingness one might expect and for all the limitations is always interesting, with plenty going on and a really nasty edge, with the Guida character scheming to come between her father and his new woman. Lots of cars, sex and cigarettes and always has that mid seventies look and sound. Always enjoyable.

My wife and I have always been shooters and I have had my CCH for some time now.
Recently our home was broken into while we were on vacation. My wife has felt insecure since then and I have encouraged her to have a weapon around the house when I am away. She has since then thought about getting her CCH to carry outside the house.
This is interesting in that she is legally blind. She can make out forms shapes and see faces up close, but other than that her vision is severly limited.
I have encouraged here to go for it and then train within the limits of here vision. My thinking is if she were accosted it would be at very close range and she would be abler to make a com shot at that distance. She is pretty good at shooting to com out to about 10'
Thought I might see what your other opinions might be.
Thanks and best wishes.
She's not living in a world of darkenss, she would be able to see the image attacking her and end the threat. I say she should get her permit and practice within her limitations.

I hope she is able to get her permit. It's pretty easy to tell who the BG is when someone is attacking you. At longer distances though she may need to call out to have the person audibly identify themselves. If they are in your house and not responding then shots should be fired. Perhaps a safe word for you and your family.
Exodus 22:2 "If a thief is caught breaking in and is struck so that he dies, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed"
I believe she should continue to train to protect herself in her home according to her capabilities. As for a license to carry outside the home, I would not be in favor of that. Are you even sure Kansas will license a legally blind person? Plenty to consider here.
Hmm, tough question. I wholeheartedly support her right to be armed, no differently than anyone else.
As a practical matter, I'd wonder about her questionable ability to follow the basic safety rules of shooting, particularly:
Know your target and what is beyond.
Be absolutely sure you have identified your target beyond any doubt. Equally important, be aware of the area beyond your target. This means observing your prospective area of fire before you shoot. Never fire in a direction in which there are people or any other potential for mishap. Think first. Shoot second.
My blind step-dad has been carrying for nearly 20 years. He is more aware of his limitations than any of us could be. Work within her limitations to set reasonable limits on what she can and can't do with it and practice within those limits.
"In a republic this rule ought to be observed: that the majority should not have the predominant power." -
-- Marcus Tullius Cicero
Sometimes in life you have to stand your ground. It's a hard lesson to learn and even most adults don't get it, but in the end only I can be responsible for my life. If faced with any type of adversity, only I can overcome it. Waiting for someone else to take responsibility is a long fruitless wait.
I can shoot bullseyes on rifle targets that I can't see. If she can see basic shapes she ought to be able to shoot people she can barely see. If they give you trouble over licensing, consider hiring an attorney.
Thank you much for you thoughts and suggestions.
Even thought those against are diffictult to accept, they have some real thoughts for concern.
On the other hand, that was why I stated she would train within her limitations which is believe would be crucial.
Obviously, target ID is crucial here and that is the obvious difficulty here. It is the thing we are working on at this point.
It seems we are talking about a situation where the BG has already attacked and is totally identifiable. Her situation, may be little different than you and me having a confrontation in the dark.
As to the question, will the state allow a lisence; I don't know the answer.
At this point she is not prepared to carry in public even if she was lisenced, as she has had no training.
Please don't hesitate to share any other pros or cons weith your thoughts. Thanks, and God's blessings for the holiday.
I think If she is interested and obviously understands her limitations than by all means give it a try......Good Luck....everyone has a right to protect themselves....
Just curious as to why a firearm is the first choice. There are other options that are nearly as effective at stopping a threat that are also more forgiving in a misidentified situation.
Pepper spray, taser, hand to hand skills, all offer security but without the same liabilities as a firearm.
Remember, life threatening situation rarely occurs in optimum conditions. In low light with no contrast could she effectively target an assailant? Pepper spray allows for a broad coverage of an area and is quite disabling. A properly applied arm lock can break an assailants arm as well as their desire to continue an attack.
Not saying that she shouldn't consider concealed carry, but it should be considered after other tools are added to the tool bag.
Good luck and keep us posted on her decisions.
my dads friend was shot int he face last friday he is legally blind but can drive a car with BiOptics iirc its called.... he lost some teeth and they killed his Pug :(
he has not gotten his GFL yet but is carrying now in his jacket in a small GA town where no one would care if he had a permit either way :P

Is it possible to float the Portneuf River between McCammon and Inkom, and are there any public access sites along that stretch?
There is one fishing access on the Portneuf River between McCammon and Inkom. The access is called Crane Creek. Here is a link to help you locate the site:http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/ifwis/fishingplanner/access
Because of all the lack of road crossing to and all the private land, I do not believe you can float from McCammon and Inkom. IDFG has sampled short reaches of the river but have had to obtain permission from landowners to access those areas.
