FOR BREAKING NEWS VISIT www.couriersun.com AUGUST 7, 2014 • THE COURIER SUN 25 St. Michael’s Remember Me Run of 2014 Who Am I is a question long asked that has had many answers. It is a question that seeks the mysterious and probes the essence of humanity and of the individual. It invades the essence of why we are alive, the purpose we serve, and the good we may claim to justify our existence. Who Am I also demands a response as to the duties, obligations and responsibilities we have for others. They may be members of our family, friends, associates, workmates and the public in whose welfare life as we know it is lived. Our eyes reflected in the mirror may be a window into the soul and assuredly they hold no lies. Simply we have the choice of accepting their truth or of lying to ourselves. The First Responders who entered the Towers on September 11th answered that troubling question fully understanding the truth of their situation. Confronting individually the question they ran forward as a group. Not one fled turning away from their breathen collectively defining not who they were but who each was. Cancer patients and the visually impaired daily must face their reality and determine who they are in a world where others are gifted with health and sight. Our sympathies encompass each but absent their infirmaries we have no means to comprehend their plight. Heavy is their burden and awful their days must be. On Saturday, September 13th St. Michael’s will host the Remember Me Run of 2014. The Run will honor the lives of the First Responders of 9/11 and dedicated to raising funds for Shareing and Careing and Visions. Helping those who need our support is a duty and responsibility that St. Michael’s has served since 1852. The question of Who Am I is a personal search. What it asks reaches beyond the limits of our bodies to our place in the world. For those who run, walk or stroll in honor of others the question has in part been answered. Ed Horn, Director St. Michael’s 24th July 2014 ADVERTORIAL Legally Speaking By: Scott Baron, Attorney at Law TRAP FOR THE UNWARY Q: My daughter’s gym class was being covered by a substitute – who had taken the class outside, to a football field that is surrounded by a track. The substitute gave the students the option of walking around the track or playing touch football. After walking one lap around the track, my daughter and her friends approached the substitute, “Can we go on the mats at the other end of the football field?” These mats were for the sport that is appropriately called ‘high jump’. The substitute said yes, but gave the children no warnings or instructions about these mats. As my daughter neared the edge of a mat, attempting to get down, her foot became caught in a tear. While attempting to untangle her foot, she plunged to the ground. A: If you have good photographs, then a jury can reasonably infer that the tear in the mat had existed for a sufficient period of time for the school to have discovered and remedied it in the exercise of reasonable care. The school is deemed to have had ‘notice’. The school might choose to defend itself by arguing that the tear in the mat was ‘open and obvious’ under the circumstances. The issue of whether a dangerous condition is open and obvious is fact-specific, and usually a question for a jury. A condition that is ordinarily apparent to one person – making reasonable use of her senses – may be rendered a ‘trap for the unwary’ where the condition is obscured or the victim is distracted.
