This document is a journal containing 14 articles discussing Stephen Hawking's view that contact with intelligent alien life could pose a serious threat to humanity. Some key points discussed in the articles include:
- While Hawking has no more expertise than others on alien motives, advanced alien civilizations might view humans as inferior and a threat to resources based on patterns of human and animal behavior on Earth.
- The greatest danger from aliens may come from microorganisms and diseases, not advanced weapons. When Europeans arrived in the Americas, it was disease rather than weapons that destroyed native populations.
- Life may be more widespread in the universe than previously thought, taking forms like microorganisms on other planets and organic molecules in space. If

It describes how the planners build identical houses in rigid rows, erasing imperfections and individuality. While creating a seemingly perfect planned community, they are destroying history, culture, and nature. The planners are so focused on their visions of an orderly future that they fail to consider the consequences of losing what makes communities unique and alive.

The station aims to provide largely unique content not duplicated elsewhere while serving local needs.
This document discusses generosity and giving. It summarizes that Americans on average give 4% of their income to charity, ranking 13th worldwide. However, the Bible teaches that generous giving pleases God and reflects Jesus giving all he had. When Christians give generously, it supplies needs, expresses thanksgiving to God, and spreads the gospel message to others. The key point is that generous giving should glorify God and reflect Christ's generosity.

John Blue receives a strange text message from his bank about a charge in Lebanon. He then finds biblical passages referring to Lebanon changed in his devices. He receives a letter from a Colonel D of the Office of Strategic Services asking him to investigate a taxi driver named Moshe ben ja-min al Masriq in Lebanon, Kentucky. John humors the request and is met by a man named Brian who will fly him to Lebanon, Kentucky to begin his investigation.
This document provides a historical overview of religious and political groups in Israel from around 722 BC to the 1st century AD. It outlines the major empires that ruled over Israel and Judea during this period and the dates of significant events. It also describes the major religio-political parties that emerged during the Second Temple period, including the Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes, Herodians, Zealots and Sicarii. The document explores possible connections between Jesus and the Essenes, but concludes there is no clear evidence of a direct connection. It also considers similarities and differences between John the Baptist and the Essenes.
This document summarizes several Second Temple period religio-political groups in Jerusalem, including the Sadducees. The Sadducees derived their name from Zadok, the high priest of David and Solomon. They reacted against the Seleucid "Pig Sacrifice" in the 2nd century BC. The Sadducees opposed the Maccabean high priests but later collaborated with the Hasmoneans and Herodians to regain the high priestly office. They were a very conservative group who denied supernatural concepts like the soul, resurrection, and angels. They lost power when the Temple was destroyed.
This document discusses several religio-political groups in Second Temple Judaism, including the Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes, Herodians, Zealots, and Sicarii. It focuses on the Pharisees and Scribes, explaining that the Pharisees followed both the written and oral law, which they believed was given by God to Moses, while the Sadducees did not accept the oral law. Over time, the Pharisees prevailed while the Sadducees lost influence after the destruction of the temple. The Scribes originally copied and interpreted the written law but their interpretations began advancing social purposes and losing the meaning of the law, drawing criticism in the
This document discusses several Second Temple Jewish groups that were influential during Paul's time, including the Pharisees. It provides details on the Pharisees' beliefs and how they differed from the Sadducees. The Pharisees believed in oral tradition alongside the written Torah and took a more flexible approach to interpreting Jewish law for new situations. After the Temple's destruction, the Pharisees' interpretation became the dominant form of Judaism due to their focus on synagogue worship and scholarship.
The document summarizes the Intertestamental Period between the Old and New Testaments. During this time, Israel was ruled by various foreign empires including the Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans. This led to significant political, religious, and cultural changes for the Jewish people, including the rise of synagogues and increased focus on the Torah. Messianic thought and beliefs about a coming savior also emerged during this period as Israel faced oppression from foreign rulers until the arrival of Jesus.
This document provides an overview of major historical upheavals and religious changes in Judaism between the construction of the second Jewish temple in Jerusalem circa 515 BC and its destruction by the Romans in AD 70, known as the Second Temple period. Key developments discussed include the rise of the synagogue and its influence, the emergence of Hebrew and Aramaic as dominant languages, the solidification of the Torah as the authoritative text, the transformation of Jewish identity, and the growth of messianic and eschatological beliefs. The political landscape also experienced significant changes as the region was ruled by various empires.
This document summarizes Saul's transformation from a persecutor of Christians to the Apostle Paul through three key events. First, Saul encountered Jesus on the road to Damascus and went blind before receiving a vision that converted him. Second, he spent time in Arabia and Damascus, where he was taught by Ananias and joined the Antiochian and Damascene churches. Finally, Saul began preaching as Paul and traveled over 35,000 miles spreading the gospel message to the Gentiles throughout the Roman Empire. The document examines the historical influences that shaped Paul, including his Jewish background, Roman citizenship, Hellenistic education in Tarsus, and the Stoic philosophy of Zeno.
The document discusses Judaism during the time of Paul, including the Hellenistic period and various Jewish sects. During the Hellenistic period, some Jews embraced Greek culture while others wanted to preserve a pure form of Judaism. This caused divisions between Hellenizers and Judaizers. There were also divisions between urban and rural Jews, as well as Jews living in Judea versus the diaspora. The major sects during Paul's time were the Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes, and Zealots. The Essenes lived an ascetic lifestyle and copied scriptures.
The document provides a timeline of Roman history from 753 BC to AD 67 and discusses the influences of Greek philosophy and religion on early Christianity. It summarizes the teachings of major Greek philosophers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle and how their ideas relate to and sometimes differ from Christianity. It also discusses the influences of other Greek movements like Stoicism, Epicureanism, and Skepticism as well as how Paul engaged with Stoic ideas in his speech on Mars Hill.
The document summarizes the Post-Exilic period following the fall of the northern and southern kingdoms of Israel. It discusses several key events:
1) Cyrus the Great of Persia issued a decree allowing exiled Jews to return and rebuild the temple in Jerusalem.
2) The temple was rebuilt, though it faced some opposition, and was finally completed with support from Darius I of Persia.
3) Jewish exclusivism and separation from other groups like Samaritans became a dominant practice during this period.
1. This document discusses the development of Judaism after the Babylonian exile, known as the Second Temple period, covering the Persian, Hellenistic, and Hasmonean periods until the destruction of the temple in AD 70.
2. It focuses on how Cyrus the Great allowed the Jews to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple, establishing the Jews as a vassal state of the Persian Empire. Reconstruction of the temple continued under difficulties until its completion in 516 BC under Darius I.
3. An important development was the emergence of Jewish exclusivity and identity as a distinct people separate from others, originating with those who returned from exile and rebuilt the temple and society in Jerusalem.
The document provides historical context on Judaism during the time of Paul by discussing the Babylonian captivity and its impact on the development of Second Temple Judaism. Key points include:
- The Babylonian captivity from 605-538 BC disrupted Jewish life and caused them to reevaluate their relationship with God, leading to changes in Jewish theology and culture.
- It contributed to Judaism transitioning from a polytheistic to monotheistic religion and elevated the importance of the Torah.
- After the Persian conquest of Babylon in 538 BC, many Jews returned to Jerusalem and rebuilt the Second Temple, establishing synagogues as religious centers in the absence of the temple.
The document discusses the Babylonian Captivity of the Jewish people and its effects on Judaism. It describes how the Jews were deported to Babylon in three separate events between 605-581 BC. While in exile, the Jews' central religious practices transformed with the Torah becoming the authoritative text and focus on monotheistic worship of YHWH. After the exile ended and they returned to Judea, the Jews emerged as an ethno-religious group defined by their scriptures and traditions rather than territorial gods. The synagogue model of worship that developed during this period also went on to influence the early Christian church.
This document discusses the influence of ancient Greek philosophy on Western thought, focusing on several key philosophers and schools of thought. It introduces Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, and examines Epicureanism and Stoicism in more depth. Stoicism was very influential on early Christianity and Paul incorporated some Stoic techniques in his preaching, though his message centered on Christ rather than philosophy. Overall the document analyzes the development of Greek philosophy and its legacy.
The document discusses the influence of ancient Greek philosophy on Western thought, focusing on several key philosophers and schools of thought. It introduces Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, and examines Epicureanism and Stoicism in more depth. Stoicism in particular had a major influence on early Christianity and the writings of Paul. While Paul engaged with Stoic ideas and techniques, he focused his message on preaching Christ and his crucifixion.
Major General William C. Gorgas was a U.S. Army physician and Surgeon General from 1914-1918 best known for his work controlling mosquitoes that transmit yellow fever and malaria. As chief sanitary officer for projects in Florida, Havana, and the Panama Canal, Gorgas implemented extensive sanitation programs including draining ponds and swamps and using mosquito netting. These measures were crucial in enabling the construction of the Panama Canal by preventing illness among thousands of workers. Gorgas received international acclaim for his contributions and an honorary knighthood shortly before his death in 1920.
1. The document discusses the historical doctrine of state "police power" which allows states to pass laws and regulations to protect public health, such as quarantine laws. However, limitations have been placed on police power since the 1960s due to a reexamination of the balance between individual rights and state power.
2. It provides context on how police power has traditionally been interpreted to promote public health and safety. However, developments in civil rights jurisprudence, a focus on patient autonomy, and increased federal authority have constrained states' ability to exercise police powers.
3. Given new public health threats like bioterrorism, the author argues for a reassessment of the legal and social limits of police power to allow
Dr. John Snow used epidemiological research methods in 1854 to trace the source of a deadly cholera outbreak in London to a contaminated water pump on Broad Street. By tracking cases of cholera and investigating water sources for the sick and healthy, Snow determined that those who drank from the Broad Street pump were infected, while others who drank from other sources were fine. Snow convinced officials to remove the pump handle, stopping the outbreak. Years later, it was discovered that a nearby cesspool leaking into the pump's water supply was likely the original source of contamination. Snow is now considered the pioneer of epidemiology and his work proved contaminated water was the cause of cholera rather than miasma.
A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteCori Faklaris
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

Editor's Notes
This is a story about a young man, Johnny Butler, and his journey from his home to the University of Rural Alabama (TURA) as in “Toora, Loora, Loora.” (John Sings)
It is April 24, and this is the Great State of Alabama and the pre-Civil War county of Cotton. Being an old county, Cotton County is located in the rural Black Belt of Alabama, the old cotton producing region. By nature, Cotton County is rural – very rural. There aren’t that many people here – except during the school year when the population is swelled by the enrollment of the University of Rural Alabama, a former State Teacher’s College, founded somewhere in the distant past by Miss Julia Tutwiler and funded by Governor Bibb Graves.
This is the Coroner of Cotton County, Quincy Seben, III. His day job is being the owner and operator of Loving Care Brown Service Funeral Home. As Coroner, he has a budget of $7,000 per year and a staff of two, counting himself and his Wife, Sammie.
He doesn’t know it, but he’s about to be overwhelmed.
"What sort of day was it? A day like all days, filled with those events that alter and illuminate our times... all things are as they were then, except - you are there.” That’s where I come in. I work here . . . I carry a badge … I’m the FAC Director. My life, too, is about to get in the words of the Chinese proverb, “interesting.”
Now, this is Johnny Butler, a bright kid from Crenshaw County, Alabama. He’s a whiz at math and science, the kind of kid that has a real future. He can go anywhere he wants to go, so his teachers tell him. He’s from the grand ole Butler family, a family that came to Alabama, via Charleston, S.C. in the 1700s from Ireland. In Ireland, the Lord Butler was the Chancellor to the King. Perhaps one day, Johnny will be the Chancellor of a great university . . . Perhaps not.
Johnny’s been selected from all the other kids in Crenshaw County to compete in the State Science Fair at the University of Rural Alabama. He’s excited to go. On April 24, his parents proudly take him and drop him and his project display off at the gym. He’ll spend several days living in the dorm as the TURA students are on spring break and in showing his project in the great hall of the gym with all the other bright students from the rest of Alabama. This is the proudest day his family has seen – that will change.
Now, this is the University of Rural Alabama, the home of the “Fighting Okra,” the defending NAIA basketball champions. Their gym is a showplace for a college of this size. They’ve put a lot of money into it so it will look special. Of course, with tight budgets, some cuts had to be made here and there – in this case, some of the cross-members in the ceiling and roof were substituted with lesser-grade materials. Nobody will see them and since there’s no snow in Rural Alabama, the roof doesn’t have to withstand all that much weight any way. As we later learn, some of the wall material turned out not to be quite as flame-retardant as advertised. . . Oh, and the water for the showers is heated by natural gas.
These will turn out to be fateful decisions.
April 25. Here, you see all the science projects proudly displayed in the gym – hundreds of them, presented by hundreds of kids – black and white, Asian and Latino. “Fat kids, skinny kids, kids who climb on rocks. Tough kids, sissy kids. Even kids with chicken pox.” All to be viewed and judged by a blue ribbon panel of scientists including one Nobel Laureate, Dr. David J. Wineland of the National Bureau of Standards in Boulder, Colorado. This trip will be an eventful one for Dr. Wineland.
Here , we see a group shot of but a few of the students – all bright, all promising, all have miles and miles of future ahead of them – or do they?
And, Johnny Butler is in the middle of it all, a handsome, winsome, articulate young man who’d make a great physicist some day. He’s particularly interested in showing his project, ironically, “The Physics of the Wind,” to the famous Dr. Wineland.
It is now April 26, and some problems begin. A Cold front has begun moving in from Northwestern Arkansas and a Warm Front up from South Louisiana. There may be a bit of “weather.” There is some consideration concerning cancelling the rest of the conference, but the logistics of it all will not permit that, so, school authorities agree to go on with the Fair. The day is spent in final preparation for the judging on the next day.
Johnny is honored to have dinner that night with Dr. Wineland and they do discuss physics and wind. Johnny is excited beyond belief and Dr. Wineland is more than impressed with the young man.
However, in the night, problems really begin to ensue – there will be blood.
April 27 dawns with clouds overhead and high aloft – ominous clouds, foreboding clouds, the kind of clouds you know are up to no good. It’s a hot and sticky day for April, even in Rural Alabama. The humidity is very high and the air has a strangely electric feel to it.
The kids are all gathered in the gym, hundreds of them with their projects set up on the floor. They are all spit and polished and ready to be judged. Everyone just knows that he or she is a winner. Dr. Wineland is the Chief Project Investigator. He begins to lead his team of judges as they methodically observe each project and question the students about the projects. The school caretaker, Harlan Regis, gets concerned even though the students are completely unaware that outside, the sky goes from blue to hazy, to gray, to charcoal, to black – to green.
Like the proverbial freight-train an horrific EF-5 tornado bears down on the campus. It has the school in its cross-hairs. Before the kids can say OMG, the gym becomes a bulls-eye: windows blow out, doors suck in, seats come un-moored – and then that terrible crack as the roof-span gives way dropping every bit of its one ton for each 80 square feet of concrete on the once-prized parquet floor smashing beautiful science projects and sandwiching once-innocent children.
The falling roof crashes through the floor and ruptures the gas main, the pilot light from the hot water heaters ignites the surging gas and the rubble, still blowing up billows of concrete and sheetrock dust, becomes one giant ignition chamber and the gym explodes sending some bricks all the way across the campus. The explosion is immediately followed by a flash fire that mushrooms as though it were a bomb.
In 20 seconds, it’s all over. The “Mother of All Alabama Tornadoes” moves on to wreak more havoc on Cotton County and then lift back to the clouds which bore it on “buzzard’s wings.” However, the all-consuming fire continues to burn unabated until it self-consumes in minutes.
What can survive this inferno?
Miraculously, some do. One is Dr. Wineland, who is found wandering, covered with dust and ash, completely dazed. He has somehow survived and has, himself, dragged clear a number of now-nameless children, some still alive – some not. Asked to come back later to TUNA to receive an award for his meritorious service, he declines, never able to see such a sight again. After this event, he will retire to his farm in Wyoming.
Later, much later, when the smoke clears and the dust settles, the scoreboard which once counted free-throws, dunks and bank-shots, now counts casualties -Sixty-Seven Dead . . . One hundred Eighty-Five Injured – men, women and children.
One such agency carries the designation State Mortuary Operational Response Team, SMORT. Remember Coroner Quincy? There is no possible way that he, the local coroner, can begin to even locate and identify the decedents, let alone prepare them for release to their soon-to-be grieving families. Thus, a volunteer organization which started with funeral home directors and other mortuary personnel is alerted by EMA – SMORT formed by funeral directors and personnel just a time such as this.
Quincy was acquainted with SMORT through his training with the Coroners’ Association. He remembers that SMORT is composed of funeral directors, funeral employees, coroners, other trained personnel, as well as administrative support staff, and security personnel; And it has a number of responsibilities under the direction of the Coroner whom they assist. These responsibilities include:
provision of temporary morgue facilities
victim identification
decedent processing and preparation for disposition of remains to funeral home directors at the request of families.
SMORT has available to it personnel that can provide additional services such as forensic dental pathology and forensic anthropology to aid in identification of remains. It works closely with the Alabama Funeral Home Director’s Association, Alabama Board of Funeral Service, the Alabama Department of Forensic Science and ADPH as well as with local coroners and medical examiners.
SMORT is patterned after the federal Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team (DMORT), which is administered since 2007 by HHS, National Disaster Medical System (NDMS.) Like DMORT, SMORT has a two-part process that utilizes a sophisticated computer program for matching physical characteristics. If necessary, the families of the decedents provide as much information about their loved one as possible: medical or dental records, X-rays, fingerprints, photos or descriptions of tattoos, clothing and jewelry; blood type information and objects that may contain the decedents’ DNA, such as hair or a toothbrush.
SMORT provides or procures hot/cold running water, electricity, HVAC, adequate and secure drainage, parking, communications, and security. An ideal temporary morgue established within a building needs 5000-8000 ft2.
The information gathered, called antemortem, or "before death" information, is entered into a computer program called VIP (Victim Identification Profile), which is capable of assimilating 800 different item categories, including graphics, photographs and x-rays. As forensic scientists (pathologists, anthropologists, odontologists) examine the recovered remains, they enter their findings - called postmortem data—into VIP (Victim Identification Profile).
Coroner Quincy is aware that this mass casualty event could be determined to be of national importance or might exceed the capacity of even SMORT. That being the case, DMORT could be activated to assist, by HHS at the request of ADPH or through AEMA through EMAC, Interstate Mutual Aid overseen by FEMA.
Coroner Quincy knows that SMORT is administered by the Cullman County EMA where Phyllis Little is the Director and Kelly Allen is her Deputy. Doug Williams, a funeral director in Cullman is the statewide SMORT Commander. SMORT utilizes only volunteers, but receives certain funding through ADPH from ASPR. Tim Hatch oversees the grant.
SMORT has 50 personnel divided into 5 regional teams of ten persons. It has five large inflatable tents, three mobile units and three refrigerated trailers, strangely known as “reefers.” All assets will be needed at this scene.
“Funeral home.” That has an ominous ring to it doesn’t it. Yet, funeral homes in the State of Alabama are about to be busy. Sixty-seven Alabama children and adults are lost in less than one minute.
One such student is Johnny Butler, lost in the melee’. Like hundreds of other families, the worried Butler family hear the news and drive quickly to the scene, clogging the highway. And like all loved ones, they want to find out whether their son is alive . . . or not. Only time and work, a lot of work, will tell.
When the Butlers arrive at the scene, they find a policeman and tell him who they are and ask if there is any information on Johnny Butler. The Red Cross, called by EMA and in coordination with a branch of SMORT called the Family Assistance Center or FAC, has established a temporary place for families and friends to go. This is the Victim Information Center (VIC.) At the VIC, which has been hastily located at the municipal auditorium, the family finds many other worried and concerned families, some food, some organization and what little information there is.
The municipal auditorium is close to the scene, perhaps too close. Bearing that in mind, EMA, in coordination with the FAC, establish a Center, the Family Assistance Center, at New Bethlehem, a local United Methodist church which is on the other side of town and unharmed by the monster-storm.
FAC staff are trained to quickly activate the Center following the event as they have here. Over the next few days, they will provide critical and secondary services to the 5 to 7 expected family members of victims. The FAC will partner with a number of sister agencies, will at all times maintain a high degree of sensitivity and respect for both the family and the lost loved one. Perhaps most importantly, the FAC will provide a place of security and serenity away from the prying eyes of the media and the gawkers. None such will be allowed in FAC at any time.
In the end, the FAC will be the families’ life-line to information as it becomes available, to sanity, and will begin to build the bridge to coping with what is to come.
Staff of the FAC will assist SMORT in identifying victims through conducting antemortem interviews, will provide comfort and assistance to families, and will refer family members for spiritual or psychological counseling, medical assistance, and material needs.
The SMORT staff consists of the County Coroner/Medical Examiner who is the Incident Commander, the SMORT Commander, the FAC Executive Director (FACED) and Deputy Director, the Chief of Professional Personnel (ChoPPs,) Family Assistance Representatives (FARs), the Chief of Operations (Ops,) Antemortem Interviewers (AMIs,) Antemortem Data Entry Personnel (ADEP,) Administrative Staff (Admin,) and the Chief of Logistics (CoLog).
At the FAC, families will see these faces: Doug Williams, the SMORT Commander; Debbie Gaddy, R.N., the Deputy FAC Director; Dr. Bill Morgan, the Autauga County Baptist Director of Associational Missions and Chief of Professional Personnel; and your FAC Director. Dr. Morgan supervises the Family Assistance Representatives, Ruth Harrell, RN,MPH, Chief of Ops supervises the Antemortem Data Interviewers. We’re still looking for the Chief of Logistics who will be the FAC’s answer to MSgt. Bilko, the scrounger who can procure it . . . Just don’t ask him how or where he got it.
We are currently actively recruiting both a CoLog as well as FARs, AMIs and Admins. Our goal in recruitment is to fill out the table of organization and equipment (TO&E) with a racially and culturally diverse team that includes people of different faiths, genders and disciplines who are best suited for their particular assignment.
In this event, New Bethlehem was transformed into the FAC with a number of service areas, all designed to accomplish its two major goals, taking care of the families and assisting SMORT to identify decedents so that ultimately, there can take place the sad reunion as the families are assisted in taking their loved one to their own funeral home.
The service areas include a reception/screening checkpoint; a waiting area; a large family briefing room; a place for victim identification services and data entry/computer operations; and general operations, child care, staff break, and family feeding areas.
Just who is a “family?” The working definition of victim and family groups is broad in scope. The Red Cross, National Transportation Safety Board and the military all define “family” as anyone that the primary victim’s family considered to be a family member. If other words, if they say they are “family,” we won’t question that. Of course, in a disaster of this magnitude, there might have to be limits placed on the size of these “families.” Our guidelines limit “family” members to 6 per decedent or suspected decedent.
Whoever self-define as “family,” as in this case, they will or may present desperately seeking information, physical and emotional comfort, hydration, meals, and protection from media. In fact, though great emotion is not always immediately present in families, the Butler family appeared dazed or numb. We know that each of them will gradually go through stages of denial, hope, and then grief and despair. Our job is simply to be there with them and for them.
At the TURA disaster, we, the FAC staff found some family members to have irrational beliefs regarding the survival of their loved ones in face of certain death, which is common and not abnormal in early stages of the event. We even had a few individuals, none of the Butler family, though, who experienced stress-induced physical or behavioral symptoms of such severity that we had to refer them to other providers for urgent and immediate care.
We learned through this that acute stress symptoms such as confusion, the presence of intrusive memories, increased anxiety and a sense of disbelief was present even in some of those who directly experienced or witnessed the incident.
At New Bethlehem, each family had assigned to them a Family Assistance Representative (FAR) who served as their guide on this perilous and sad journey. Like all FARs, the Butler Family FAR, Miss Henrietta Mears, ministered to their needs, helped them procure things they needed and generally served as their “next friend.” The FARs exuded a sense of safety, calm, efficiency, community, and connectedness to social support. Above all, they provided the Butlers and the others like with hope. Where there is no hope, there is only despair. No one should despair in the FAC.
The Butler Family has material needs as well as emotional needs. Miss Mears and the FARs through FAC have many resources upon whom to call should the need arise. EMA is the gateway, but people services are provided by Red Cross, Salvation Army, denominational disaster ministries, especially for Alabama’s FAC, The Alabama Baptist Disaster Relief Ministry consisting of Chaplaincy, child care, and food service (food supplied either by Red Cross of Salvation Army.) The Baptists even provide temporary shower units and self-contained clothes washing trailers.
Most faiths and denominations have on-call clergy who can give spiritual counseling. EMA can provide mental health/social worker counseling if need be. All these resources and more are available to the families through the FAC. And it’s the FAR’s job to see that they are connected.
If the FAR refers a family member for mental health counseling through EMA/Red Cross, they may need psychological first aid - comfort care over and above what our FARs have been trained to give. A family member could also need crisis intervention support to provide opportunities for family members to make decisions to regain control of their lives. It might be that they need psychological education on stress symptoms and coping. They could need casualty support such as connecting with support systems, decision-making on disposition of remains or spiritual care interventions by Disaster Chaplains or local clergy of the appropriate faith.
The second, perhaps toughest, task facing the Butler family will be assisting SMORT through FAC in identifying remains. In this event, we have already witnessed search for and recovery of remains and an assessment by Coroner Quincy of the condition of the remains.
Some will be easy to identify - some will not. You know, but the Butler Family does not know, that what has already begun is the identification process. In this process, forensic experts, if necessary, will assess the length of time it might take to make a positive ID and what methods will be needed.
Certainly, involved in the process is antemortem data collection involving the making of decisions about the release of remains to the family and receiving information on identification of common/unidentified corporeal fragments. Likewise, the Coroner is already working with due deliberate speed to determine an exact cause or manner of death for each decedent that has been identified.
Though Coroner Quincy, SMORT and the FAC may work through the case of a number of decedents, we will never forget that each one is a person and will accord them the dignity they deserve.
After the Butler Family became comfortable with their FAR, Henrietta Mears, also a member of the Alabama Baptist Disaster Response Mission, they met with an FAC Staffer, Mr. Richard Cavett, an Antemortem Data Interviewer (AMI) who, in tandem with Miss Mears, led them through the delicate process of obtaining data that helped SMORT, Coroner Quincy and the ADFS Staff identify a young man who was finally and sadly determined to be Johnny Butler.
Miss Mears walked with them throughout this process. While AMIs move from family to family gathering information, FARs stay with their family to assist until relieved. This process is designed to allow the family to tell the staff their story in a comfortable manner. While, follow-up direct questions are asked according to a script which ultimately correlates with the ADFS’ form “VIP,” the bulk of the interview will be the family members’ narrative.
Behind the scenes at the FAC and out of the view of the grieving families, the antemortem data which has been collected by AMIs such as Mr. Cavett, is entered into a data collection system set up and installed in the FAC by the IT staff of ADFS. This information is uploaded to the ADFS HQ in Montgomery where the antemortem data is matched with the post-mortem data, the data taken in the field by SMORT field staff. The goal is to create a positive match. While ADFS suggests the match, Coroner makes the final call since this is his County and his responsibility.
The system allows the FAC Ops to query the system periodically for reports on putative matches so that Coroner Quincy can be constantly informed as to the status of remains since he must report to the public, the press and most importantly to the families on the status of identification of victims.
Data released outside a family is general in nature. Only the data that pertains to a particular family is released to the family. General informational sessions are held frequently in the FAC as needed when facts become available. What only one family knows, every family knows, except as it pertains to an identified decedent.
It is now April 30. The victims are identified and Coroner Quincy makes his rounds notifying each individual family privately. Such is the case with the Butler Family as Coroner Quincy, assisted by the FAC Director and the Family FAR, Miss Mears, notifies them of the truth of what they already knew – Johnny was one of the fatalities.
If one can find good news in this, it’s that Johnny is intact and ready to be delivered to his family for burial. There will be many wreaths on the doors of Alabama tonight.
Henrietta Mears and the Staff of the FAC begin to bid good-bye to the families as they have completed the immediate portion of the mission, that being taking care of families and reuniting them with their loved one. They have assisted the Butlers with making arrangements with Turner Funeral Home in Luverne to take Johnny, to make final preparations and to lay him to rest. This scene, too, is repeated over and over again.
However, their job is not over.
Johnny Butler was one of 67 victims of that end of days at the University of Rural Alabama, but he was one. To his family, while they regretted the loss of the other 66, they grieved and grieve, the loss of the one. It is said that “the loss of a loved one turns our life upside down. Our world as we knew it has changed and those changes require that we in turn adjust to a new ‘normal.’”
Perhaps it is also true that one who lives in memory is never really “lost,” but is forever “saved.” That’s the Mission of SMORT/FAC; Though many are “lost,” all are saved. It was a great honor to have had a small part in saving Johnny Butler.
What did we learn today? We learned that victims’ families must be identified quickly and given access to information and services that are victim sensitive and easily accessible. We learned that there is a strong need for continuous flow of information delivered through regularly scheduled family briefings and a pro active approach to family issues and requests. We learned that consistent and equitable support to all victim family groups is a challenge, but it is important.
Finally, we learned that the FAC, the “One stop” support center approach, was efficient, provided a safe haven for families, and helped facilitate the victim identification process.
Does this sound like a mission you feel called to accept, a challenge you’d like to take, a set of memories you’d like to create . . . and share, then . . .
The FAC wants you! You can be a volunteer, I know you can do it. Heck, if I can run the thing then anybody ought to be able to just take a part in it. To quote the great philosopher, “Snoop Dog,” “here’s how you order. . .”
Just follow the directions. One more thing . . .
The end.
