JOHN RUDOLF gees. I asked instead: ‘What are the strengths of the refugee? What are the strengths of the host country?’ Refugees and local officials both work the system. These are people who led productive lives. What they were in their past life is gone. Now they’re living in a camp, year after year. The people in these camps may have lost their home and their jobs, but they haven’t lost their pride or their skills, so a large number become entrepreneurs.” To explain what refugees need, Oka says, there are two key words in Swahili: heshima, or dignity, and matharau, the opposite of dignity — humiliation and neglect. Matharau is what leads to conflicts and violence. “During Ramadan people gather at dusk and eat. The breaking of the fast is a highly communal thing. If Rahul Oka: a stranger comes by, they will say, ‘Come, break your fast with us.’ Or people trade some food for a few pieces of candy for their children. They still celebrate the birth of a Advocating baby with sweets. Tea and soft drinks will be acquired and shared at the fu- neral of an older relative. Being able for refugees to do that gives a sense of normalcy. It gives them a sense of dignity that otherwise, as a refugee, takes con- stant hits.” in Kenya One thing Oka was able to bring to the attention of aid organizations was an understanding of the inap- propriateness of some of the food donations. “The African refugees complained that they are given beans, rice, maize and sorghum. All require time of Africa and the west coast of India zones such as Sudan and Somalia. for preparation and cooking.

Notre Dame Fire Department In 1879 a devastating fire destroyed Notre Dame’s Main Building along with four other campus buildings. From those ashes,the Notre Dame Fire Department (NDFD) arose. With 135 years of history, it is the first and oldest university-based fire department in the nation. Originally the station was staffed with priests, brothers and student volunteers. Then in 1995 the department hired its first full-time firefighter. Now with 18 staff members, the department protects all buildings on the Notre Dame, Saint Mary’s and Holy Cross campuses. Proudly, NDFD has a great relationship with nearby fire departments and provides help when needed beyond the campus borders. NDFD’s first and most visible responsibility, the provision of fire suppression, rescue and emergency medical services, requires three rotating 24-hour firehouse shifts, each staffed with a captain, lieutenant and two firefighter/emergency medical technicians. That responsibility intensifies sharply on home football game weekends, when the population in the area multiplies almost tenfold. Much of NDFD’s most important work is done away from the firehouse and without its state-of-the-art engines, trucks, ambulances and squad cars. Daily, NDFD is out and around campus inspecting and surveying the critical infrastructure of the campus. That infrastructure includes building fire alarms, water-based automatic fire sprinkler systems and specialized suppression systems for high hazard areas. The campus may indeed be a “town,” but it is a town that includes laboratory complexes as well as residence halls. “Most of our community is comprised of the students who live in those residence halls,” says Fire Chief Bruce Harrison, “and in all of our work, from fire preven- tion and suppression through safety education, we have to be as mindful of our students as if we were standing in for their parents.” Wayne Bishop, RD Brown, Damien Cruz, Greg Dhoore, Bruce Harrison, Tim Hoeppner, Mike Holdeman, Gordon Martinczak, Rick McAllister, Greg Merryfield, Kenn Miller, Kelly Newland, Dwight Niles, Mike Olinger, Martin Orlowski, Rick Ruder, Ryan Schaffer, Mary Weigle and Andy Willett.

‘May I have your attention, please!’ Sgt. Tim McCarthy delivers final pun BY AMI DRISCOLL, GAME DAY OPERATIONS “May I have your attention, please! Football fans, after the game, your No. 1 priority is to get home safe and sound…” Sgt. Tim McCarthy, former Indiana State Police Sergeant delivered those words from the press box of Notre Dame Stadium for 55 years — at more than 300 football games — in his third- quarter public safety message to fans. But what made him a local celebrity were the puns and groaners he delivered to end each announcement. Throughout his 55 years, some of his one-liners included: • “Drive like a musician … C sharp or B flat.” • “Drive like a happy doctor… have a lot of patience.” • “When the weather is wet, never let your driving get rusty.” • “Driving half lit … is not very bright.” • “The reason we hammer at safety … is to prevent you from getting nailed.” At the Saturday, Sept. 26 game against Massachusetts, he delivered his final pun — a reprise of the first one he ever delivered, in 1960 — from the field rather than the press box. The crowd went wild, chanting his name and following with applause and a standing ovation: “Remember, the automobile replaced the horse, but the driver should stay on the wagon.”
