More on Katrina
Star staff writer Tamara Koehler and staff photographer Dana Bowler continue their coverage in tomorrow's paper on evacuees of Hurricane Katrina. They're working on two stories for tomorrow. One is on the effort to move some of the folks out of the Astrodome to a cruise ship ... and their reluctance to go. They fear it will make it more difficult to reunite with family members. The Star team is also looking at a story on the Houston animal shelters housing lost and abadoned pets from Katrina.
In other Katrina coverage for tomorrow, we are chasing a tip that tlocal members of the Ventura Church of Religious Science have an interest in churches in New Orleans and Baton Rouge and are helping in recovery efforts.
Also, we may have available a story on Jimmy Miranda, a longtime Ventura resident and former Buena High School volleyball coach, who moved to Covington, La., outside of New Orleans a few years ago. Family members, including his daughter, Harmony, 25, a former Buena volleyball player, are back in Ventura working with local churches to get them involved in helping while Jimmy stays at the family home.
Also for tomorrow's front page, we'll have whatever breaking news there is study out of Katrina recovery.
We also will cover the ceremony today placing the casket of William H. Rehnquist in the Great Hall of the U.S. Supreme Court. The public viewing of the chief justice will continue through noon, eastern time, tomorrow, followed by the funeral.



Glad the blog is back. Hope you will tell more about the editorial decisions about sending a reporter to New Orleans (did they volunteer, logistics to get and stay there, working with other Scripps paper reporters, etc.)
