...Sept. 19, 2005, I provided The Family Center for Missing Persons my DNA in Baton Rouge, La., on my way to my mother's house. I had not heard from her since the storm. I picked up my son, who accompanied me to Eastern New Orleans. We arrived at [my mother's] house at about noon, and discovered that the search and rescue team had already searched the house because of the markings on the house that indicated no one was inside. However, my 79-year-old mother's car was in the driveway. I noticed that there...
...that the media has chosen to ignore the plight of the cities who bore the brunt of Hurricane Katrina, and focus our nation's attention only on New Orleans. At Katrina's true "ground zero" are three small cities that have been nearly wiped off the map by this storm-Waveland, Bay St. Louis, and Pass Christian, Miss. How unfortunate that although the overall devastation here far exceeds that of New Orleans, media coverage of these small towns with low crime rates and peaceful communities is not considered newsworthy-or "sensational" enough-for the media to discuss...
...believes may be impossible for the moment--levees that will protect against Category 5 hurricanes. The Corps of Engineers plans to repair 40 miles of the 300-mile system before the next hurricane season. Nagin won promises from the Corps to rebuild the system to withstand a Category 3 storm "plus some," which means they plan to fix the flaws that reputedly caused the levee breaks that flooded 80% of the city--for as long as four weeks in some areas. The improved levees will be 17 ft. high, vs. 12 ft. to 13 ft. pre-Katrina. With $8 million...
...October, she made up her mind to head back. For now, the Betzes are living with her mother in Pass Christian. Ten days before Katrina hit, Orfila had moved into a small house at the back of the Betzes' property. The house was all but destroyed in the storm. But the unfurnished house she had moved out of and still owned needed only a month or two of repairs. Betz spent her final weeks in Sandestin shopping for furnishings the family would need in Pass Christian. "If we don't buy it here, we're not going to find...
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass.—Another game, another close escape. After taking a 4-0 lead against No. 5 Boston College midway through the second period, the No. 19 Harvard men’s hockey team allowed the Eagles to storm back late in the game last night at Kelley Rink. Allowing third-period goals appears to have become habit for the Crimson (4-2-0, 3-2-0 ECAC). Just last weekend, Cornell scored two late goals to shock Harvard with a come-from-behind victory. And the following night, Colgate trimmed the Crimson?...
