No, I don't know any but we can educate them!! Tell them to read Mold

Warriors and interview Dr. Shoemaker!!!!!!

I think an email campaign is a great idea, at least we

will be doing something!!! Maybe someone will listen.

Does anyone know of any reporters who are really

educated on the mold issue?

[Guest guest]

I say we write and educate everyone we can! The more we write maybe they

will listen!!

Hhmmmm,

I thought Flowers name was familar, and I was right

(Clinton), not sure if it is the same lady though. I would bet that

if Ms Flowers did the research on mold and contacted OPRAH she would

get furher than us. What do you guys think? Her name alone would get

their interest and they would read anything she sent them. Hey, it's

a thought. SW

[Guest guest]

My letter is written!!! Keep writing everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOOD IDEA, LADY--I WROTE HER ALREADY. NOW ITS UP TO THE REST OF THE GANG,

OK?

Just one thing - Shreveport is not actually in the affected area. They got some

rain and a little damage from Rita, but not much, according to people on the

ground there. It's still good, because there are refugees and all there.

I haven't looked into it for purposes other than survivor searches, but if you

want to get to area reporters, I think you'll want to look for the Times

Picayune - the major paper in NOLA, also www.NOLA.com, and the newspapers for

the Gulport, Biloxi, and Mobile areas. Most of the rest of the affected towns

would only have very tiny local papers, if any at all. Baton Rouge, Meridian,

and Hattiesburg are also good-sized towns outside the major damage where a lot

of locals are staying.

I just spoke to someone from St. Bernard Parish - some of the worst of it. The

report was that there was so much mud that the mold hardly mattered. They dug

out a couple of irreplacable family treasures, and left. They won't be going

back. I also asked about other local towns, as I was looking for people there.

Word was, there are still so many roads blocked and bridges damaged that a drive

that used to be 20 minutes would now take many hours if you could do it at all.

And residents are only being allowed in during daylight hours in some areas.

They aren't really in there rebuilding. They're running in to get what they can

save and meet with insurance or FEMA people - who are moving like molasses in

terms of settling up in terms of money. There's nothing to rebuild WITH yet.

People who were renters have no reason to hang around, if they can get back at

all.

Do keep in mind that NOLA is only the main city in a metropolis. Despite what

you're hearing on the news about a very small area reopening in NO, it's VERY

small compared to the surrounding 'burbs, much of which cannot be reoccupied at

all. We're talking over a million people and hundreds of thousands of dwellings

spread over many hundreds of square miles, total, with a couple of parishes and

counties almost completely demolished and depopulated.

Excellent point Serena. The same applies to Texas and LA border after

Hurricane Rita. So many small villages and thousands of people affected;

these are all rural areas and they are totally overlooked. These are the

plain country people, no internet access, living off their land or barely

making it; not much education, no good medical facilities. They are used to

being flooded and living in moldy homes for decades with decaying health.

Who is focusing on them? So sad. These are the ones we need to reach

somehow.

Well, they do get the newspapers in normal times. And cable or satellite TV.

It's not like people there are stupid or illiterate (despite every possible

media and political attempt ot make them look that way, ad nauseam). It's not

like the place is populated by a bunch of Forrest Gump characters. Many just

live in a very different culture(s). The culture of the bayou people is very

different from that of the city people, and MS is a whole other world from

either of them. To some there, saying you're moving to NO is like saying you're

moving to Sodom...on another planet. Which was kind of my point. You can't

exactly put them in a bag, and it's difficult to describe. Many different

subcultures, and the people in them recognize one another by long habit and

custom. Say your surname, show the color of your skin, speak a few words, and

local people would know a lot about you and who you come from right off. Those

lines don't get crossed very often. There might be other places like that in

the States, but I don't know them. Maybe the Amish? It's something that only

happens where people have been in the same place for a very long time. Like I

said, " peculiar " - in the dictionary sense of the word.

Shreveport and Beaumont and Tyler have probably got the closest news outlets of

any size for the Rita area. I don't know the conditions. I have family in

Shreveport all working in public service, so can get news from there, but only

distant relatives in the Tyler area, so I'm blinded on that. I'm working more on

the local blogs idea, myself, because friends and families of people from the

area also stay in touch that way. Those who can use the internet, and those who

can't get long distance phone calls from those who can. It's all still very

patchy and person-to-person, but I'm sure it'll improve over the coming months

as things settle down a bit. We just have to keep putting the word out there, by

every measn we can.
