their. my countrymen were dying."
Pray‘aga said

I’ray'aga was one of about litl
l'ls' students arid other members of
the Lexington community to pttl‘llcl'
pate in a vigil Tuesday night iii re»
sponse to the Mumbai terrorist at~

Students on Spring Breaktrip Will help
disabled take Grand Canyon vacation

8y Kirsten Clancy

néWSQTykemelEoin

Nearly 10 miles of hiking trails.
clear streams and a one—mile vertical
drop are not considered easy travel for a
wheelchair-bound child. but 30 will
make such a trip with help from UK stu~
dents over Spring Break.

UK‘s Vocational Rehabilitation
Counseling program is partnering with
Kentucky Easter Seals Camp KYSOC to
take 30 young Kentuckians to the bot,
tom of the (irand (‘anyon during Spring
Break. and they are asking for 24 stu-
dent volunteers to make the trip pttssiv
ble.

An organizational meeting to discuss
the trip will be Wednesday at 3:30 pm.
in Room 322 of tlte Taylor Education
Building for those interested. .

The cost of the trip is $795 per per—
son. which includes food. lodging and
park passes. but not transportation. Of
that. $200 will go to Camp KYSOC. a
free summer camp for children with dis—
abilities iii Kentucky. Fundraising op—
tions such as corporate sponsors and a
chanty wheelchair race will be discussed
at the meeting. along with cost and
transportation.

"This trip is one of the hardest trips
anyone will do in their lifetime." said
Jim Ebert. executive director of Camp
KYSOC. This ’l‘hanksgiving. he made
the first successful trip to the bottom of
the (lrand Canyon with a disabled per»
son. a l3-year—old girl.

[{bert said he used every muscle in

it"; ’

his body and felt relieved when he
reached the bottom. He said with a large
team. the job would be much easier. Last
time. he went with his three children.
He has taken the trip three times. but
this is the first time he succeeded. In the
pre\ious trips. there were obstacles in
the way that were too large. he said.
The trips are made possible mainly
through donations from churches. dis-
ability awareness groups and individu‘

als. Cardinal Hills Health Care Center
helped [Eben purchase Kilicans and Trail
Riders. which help transport the wheel-
chairvbound people over the rough ter-
rain. These machines mUst be carried
over erosion points and rocks. which is a
challenge. Eben said.

"They are kind of like wheelchairs
on steroids." said Christopher Rymond.
the student organizer of the trip.

Rymond works at Vocational Reha—
bilitation Counseling, He has been doing
a project for his master‘s degree rehabili—
tation counseling class. which gave him
the idea to work with this program.

“1 low the outdoors. and if I couldn‘t
get outside. I‘d be upset Rymond said.

Iibert got the idea four years ago
when he was hired as camp director at
Camp KYSOC. He has guided over
3.800 people to the bottom of the Grand
Canyon. and he realized itot one of those
people was disabled. One year later. the
protect was approved. but it took three
years to get money because he couldn’t
get grants. His first trip ended halfway
because of the terrain.

“The (irand Canyon is one of the
greatest and most adventurous places on
the planet. and it needs to be accessible."
Eben said.

FARII)K()T. Pakistan For the
past three days Pakistani intelligence
agents and police have been combing
this sleepy Village in search ot clues to
the identity of the lone gunman captured
in the Mumbai terror attacks. residents

Indian officials and news media ofﬁ»

Amir Kamal. Azam Amir Kasav. or
Azam Ameer Qasab. and Indian news
meda quoted police as saying that the
alleged killer's home village was in
Faridkot. near the city of Multan in the
southern part of Pakistan’s Punjab
province.

Local residents. however. are bewil-
dered and alarmed. They said there was
no one by those surnames in this village.
and no missing resident who ﬁt the pie

worried."

Agents from Pakistan's Inter—Servic-

present on Monday. questioning locals.

CONCESSIONS

when starting your own company. Wal-
lace said. First. you're always selling

your ideas to people so you’re always on
call. The second is the number of people
depending on you to make it work.

But Wallace said it is rewarding to
help people. like a dad at the basketball
game with his children or a student who
doesn't want to miss a great basket.

“There are two routes you can take."
Wallace said in an e-mail to the Kemel.

“You can go the George Foreman route
and create an over-glorified wafﬂe grid-
dle. something that doesn‘t really help
people but makes you a lot of money. or
you can go the (Apple C E0) Steve Jobs
route and create something that changes
the. world."
