RUBBLE • COnTinilEO FROID 3 already found her mothers diamond earrings and pendant among the mess. They also found a chair in the house that wasn’t there before the - hurricane. “Saye that,” Bryant tells them. “That’s from an island 12 miles away.” They found Casper, her parents’ white cat who used to patrol the yard, hissing at Rottweilers. She sat atop the rubble, waiting for them when they got back. They wave to neighbors and cleanup volunteers while letting any potential looters know they’re watching. The hot, dusty street smells like rotting food and natural gas and is quiet except for the haunting sounds of diesel engines and work trucks beeping in • reverse. Bryant’s sister, Lisa Jackson, tells a story one of the Howard Avenue old-timers told her, that a nun had placed a crucifix on a nearby hill before hurricane Camille in 1969, declaring the water wouldn’t reach that point. It didn’t. This time, after a 25-foot storm surge, it did. Bryant ran a travel company from her Biloxi home. She’s relying on branches in Florida and Alabama these days and tells people when they ask how they can help, “Go buy travel. I don’t want it just for us.” She hopes a casino will buy her land so she can relocate inland. She expects her first child in six weeks, and has settled into calm acceptance about her home. “You can continue to get upset about it, or you can do what you can,” she says. She’ll name her daughter Lily Marie after her late grandmother. Comments on this story?

On the sixth day since Katrina slammed ashore, it seemed none of the piles had been picked up. The only authorities driving around a silent Biloxi were the local fire department, the coroner, a private natural gas company and some police. Even teams from Jacksonville had made it to Biloxi; why couldn’t our government make the same effort? Viewing the damage in New Orleans, of course it seems necessary to send our resources where they are most needed, but for the world’s lone superpower, why should we have any shortage of federalized help to lessen the burden of this disaster? Simple research provides some shocking clues. The Washington Post reported last week that the Bush administration has repeatedly aimed to slash the Army Corps of Engineers’ requests for funds to improve the levees in New Orleans. It lobbied against plans to build up natural hurricane buffers, half the funds of which would funnel to New Orleans. Democrats admit that what was in place would not have stopped Katrina, but the answer certainly isn’t budgeting those departments out to improve performance. Depriving a person of food doesn’t give them bigger muscles. An urban politics professor in recent days told her class that it will be interesting to see how FEMA and other emergency departments respond to Katrina, but if history — the Chicago Fire of 1871, for example — provides insight, there will be a massive response. Everyone beats the dead horse of “less bureaucracy, more efficiency,” but it’s mammoth disasters like this that demand action. Sue days is too long to wait before consistent relief arrives in Biloxi from the government to which we pay taxes. Until then, examples such as those given by Telemaque offer some optimism into what individuals can do underneath their authorities. “There were no looters. The proper owners of places were giving everyone permission to use what they couldn’t. There was love from , the Back Bay to the beach front.” Comments on this story?

Stewart had no words for what he saw inside the PMAC, which is closed to everyone but patients and volunteers, saying only “you need to see it yourself.” I was encouraged by Stewart to take his wristband and see the inside of the “hospital” firsthand, an offer I declined. Stewart estimated he must have spent four or five hours in the facility, at the behest of a friend’s mother. His demeanor in talking to me outside the massive domed-shaped structure was that of someone glad to have experienced what he had, rather than the kid who walked in the PMAC hours Derore, areaaing me umc ne was sure would be wasted. “It’s hard to describe,” Stewart said, his badge warning those around that they were in a biohazard zone. “One old lady had been on her roof for hours.” One student said her dad had recently called her from New Orleans. He was sitting in nothing but his boxers on what was left of his roof, with a shotgun and a bottle of Jack Daniels. Sounds of Blackhawks, military transports and other aircraft tore through the normally serene college atmosphere. The whirring rarely let up. Six military-issue Hummers were lined up around Tiger Stadium, making it tough to convince myself I wasn’t in some sort of war zone. Government officials on a local, state and national level toured LSU’s campus Sunday to analyze any health threats that might have cropped up from shoe-horning so many human beings into one area. The officials also checked to make sure supplies were sufficient and that special-needs patients did not need to be escorted elsewhere. They appeared satisfied with what they saw. Traveling through parts of New Orleans and its outskirts, nearly by accident, as our group attempted to go home, the visual impact of Katrina was even more clear. Not a street sign, billboard, boat or parked car was left untouched. Two shiny blue Ford tractors, once used to cut grass along the highway, were almost completely submerged in water. National guardsmen were deployed throughout the city as a constant reminder that the magnitude of the situation required men in uniform be present with heavily armored vehicles and M-l 6s to keep order in the swiftly felled city which had become threatened by looters and disease. At one convenience store, a distressed mother was seen clutching her naked baby to her chest, perhaps the last possession she could call her own in this world. About 30 miles north of the near wasteland that was New Orleans, a man silently stared into the bathroom mirror while Vvashing his hands at a Chilis restaurant. It wasn’t until he was finished that he spoke. “I haven’t touched hot water in seven days,” the evacuee said. “And there’s not even a damn paper towel to dry my hands » on. The man turned and walked away — a disgrunded survivor. Comments on this story?
