Conversion Van
Transportability Challenges Solved with an Accessible Mobility Van
Noah Mischiek was a bright, independent young boy. He had right hemisphere paralysis and was unable to use the right side of his body. Noah's paralysis was the result of an in-utero stroke that resulted in an emergency caesarean section. The full extent of his condition wasn't diagnosed until he was six months old – after Noah's parents noticed he was not able to use his right hand. A quick paediatrician's visit led to a long journey to McMaster Children's Hospital in Hamilton, Ontario where the family received the devastating news.
Despite his disability, Noah was always very independent and wanted to do things for himself. While his parents were told he would never walk, Noah demonstrated the ability to take steps, which came as a great surprise for many.
"They told us he would never walk. He's like our miracle baby!" notes Jamie Rolland, Noah's mother.
At three years old, Noah started wearing a serial cast on his right leg to help him walk. The cast is removed for a day then put back on for gradually longer periods of time. The brave pre-schooler also gets Botox injections three times a year in the back of his right leg. The injections are to help relax his leg muscles that were damaged as a result of the stroke, with the eventual hope of Noah walking on his own.
"I'll never forget ... my niece got into the car and Noah asked, 'How come I can't do that?' and I thought it would break my heart", Jamie recalls.
Creating Family Memories with a Wheelchair Accessible Van
PC Children's Charities help developmentally and physically challenged children. The charity donated $20,000 to help Noah's family buy a wheelchair accessible van. The Ontario March of Dimes, an advocacy and rehabilitation charity also contributed $5,524 through the Home and Vehicle Modification program funded by Ontario's Ministry of Community and Social Services. Frank Kasm, Mobility Specialist at Liberty Motor Company, equipped a van with a rotating seat so Noah could seat himself inside the vehicle at the simple push of a button. Frank personally delivered the 2004 Ford Freestar to the family's home in Woodstock, Ontario on July 24th, 2007.
When Jamie saw Frank drive up with the van, she was very emotional, "I just bawled my eyes out. Frank had put a personalized plaque inside the van ... it was overwhelming."
The nameplate mounted on the van's dashboard reads "Noah's van". Frank and the Mobility Specialists at Liberty Motor Company have similar plates made for each child who receives a wheelchair accessible van. According to Frank, "it helps create a connection between the vehicle and the people who will be relying on it, and with the plaque the van becomes their own personal vehicle".
Noah has taken that bond and his relationship with Frank, to heart. Frank brought Noah a plush toy lion, which he's named Leo, because Noah is so very brave. He and Frank have formed a close friendship and they regularly speak on the telephone and keep in touch via e-mail.
"Noah just loves Frank! He gave us a lot of care and Noah has really bonded with him", Jamie says.
Noah can now get himself into the vehicle and he wants to go everywhere.
"Even if it's just going to buy a bag of milk, Noah has to come along because it's his van," says his mother.
Mischiek Family's New Found Liberty to Travel & Plan Family Vacations
Over two years later Noah's family is able to take vacations in between trips to the hospital and medical treatments because of their wheelchair accessible van conversion from Liberty Motor Co. In fall 2009, the family travelled to Cape Breton on Canada's eastern coast to visit relatives.
"The kids got to see half of Canada on that trip! There's no way we would have been able to do that without the van", Jamie recalls.
Frank and Liberty Motor Company also made certain the van was equipped with a DVD player to help make longer trips much easier and enjoyable for the entire family.
"The kids love it! We use it every time we go in the van. As soon as we get in, it's ‘can we watch a movie?' They've already seen Noah's favourite movie Cars several times".
Now that he owns a wheelchair accessible van, Noah would love to visit Marineland Canada next summer… and they just might do that, thanks to Liberty Motor Company!

Conversion to Modernities $46.86 Peter van der Veer has gathered together a ground-breaking collection of essays that suggests that conversion to forms of Christianity in the modern period is not only a conversion to modern forms of these religions, but also to relgious forms of modernity. Religious perceptions of the self, of community, and of the state are transformed when Western discourses of modernity become dominant in the modern world. This volume seeks to relate europe and its others by exploring conversion both in modern Europe and in the colonized world. The contributors combine the study of conversion in modern Europe with an analysis of conversion in Africa, Sotuh and South-East Asia and Oceania. Several essays attempt explicitly to relate religious development in the colonizing and in the colonized world. Both the effects of the missionary project on target peoples and on the religious history of Western societies is examined. The discourse of "the reflective self," "personal choice," and "authenticity" inherent in Christian conversion and crucial to the question of modernity, is examined both in European and non-European contexts. Conversion is shown to be an innovative practice which partakes in the transformation of the social without being a mechanical result of it. "Conversion to Modernity" combines cultural studies, history and anthropology in providing new and important insights in modernity, colonialism and Christian discourse. Contributors: Webb Keane, Peter van Rooden, Patricia Spyer, Achille Mbembe, Nicholas Dirks, Birgit Meyer, Judith Pollman, Margaret Jolly, Keith Luria, Eytan Bercovitch, Talal Asad, Gauri Viswanathan. |

Becoming Christian: The Conversion of Roman Cappadocia $71.79 In a richly textured investigation of the transformation of Cappadocia during the fourth century, "Becoming Christian: The Conversion of Roman Cappadocia" examines the local impact of Christianity on traditional Greek and Roman society. The Cappadocians Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nyssa, Gregory of Nazianzus, and Eunomius of Cyzicus were influential participants in intense arguments over doctrinal orthodoxy and heresy. In his discussion of these prominent churchmen Raymond Van Dam explores the new options that theological controversies now made available for enhancing personal prestige and acquiring wider reputations throughout the Greek East. Ancient Christianity was more than theology, liturgical practices, moral strictures, or ascetic lifestyles. The coming of Christianity offered families and communities in Cappadocia and Pontus a history built on biblical and ecclesiastical traditions, a history that justified distinctive lifestyles, legitimated the prominence of bishops and clerics, and replaced older myths. Christianity presented a common language of biblical stories and legends about martyrs that allowed educated bishops to communicate with ordinary believers. It provided convincing autobiographies through which people could make sense of the vicissitudes of their lives. The transformation of Roman Cappadocia was a paradigm of the disruptive consequences that accompanied conversion to Christianity in the ancient world. Through vivid accounts of Cappadocians as preachers, theologians, and historians, "Becoming Christian" highlights the social and cultural repercussions of the formation of new orthodoxies in theology, history, language, and personal identity. |

The Vw Camper Van (Hardcover) $18.27 From an endlessly curious and often hilarious author, a wonderful social history of the postwar years through the prism of a single transport icon The VW Campervan was invented immediately after the war, when a far-sighted English military man set up his factory in line with turning the German economy from making machines of warfare to more peaceful products. As this history shows, by the 1970s that dream had been amply fulfilled, as the VW Campervan became the conveyance of choice for West Coast hippies, Australian surf bums, and Europeans taking the overland route to find enlightenment and good karma in India. It had also become?indeed, still is?the first choice for those seeking a cheap camping vacation with wheels attached. So never mind the oddly off-center driving wheel, the vagaries of the aircooled rear engine?the VW Campervan had become more than a vehicle?it had truly become a way of life. Mike Harding shares the story of his first ride in a Volkswagen Camper Van back in 1961, when it was carrying around the gear and bandmembers of his rock band the Manchester Rainmakers. Finally, in 2009, he could wait no longer, and bought his own, a 2001 Type 2 bay window Brazilian import Danbury conversion in hot orange and off-white. |
