Still Coping on the Coast

Ten months after Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Bruce, MS native and Sun Herald employee Karen Shook of Long Beach maintains hope of eventually moving back into her home and out of the FEMA camper parked in her driveway. Her hometown paper, the Calhoun County Journal, recently profiled Shook and the new normality of her daily routine.

Meanwhile, The Journal News in White Plains, NY, features a local couple who trekked to the Gulf Coast to do things that people who have been volunteering during recovery do: Dad scraped away mold. Mom removed debris. And the girls — 15 and 16 — took care of children at the local Boys and Girls Club.
