ST. GEORGE, UT — For the first time, two children of Warren Jeffs have alleged that the imprisoned leader of the polygamous Mormon sect sexually abused them as children.
Becky and Roy Jeffs, both adults, made the revelations to Lisa Ling on her upcoming CNN show "This is Life," which premieres Wednesday night. They both recently left the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints, or FLDS.
Becky told Ling that she first told one of her sisters, after her sister revealed she was abused as a child.
"I thought, I'm not the only one molested, he's done it to her it must be something that was in his nature," Becky Jeffs says on the show. "Where does it end? If he had this in him, how can I trust hm? How is he really our prophet?"
CNN reached out to the last known attorney listed for Warren Jeffs, but he was in court and could not immediately be reached for comment on the allegations.
Becky and Roy are among four of Jeffs' children who have left the FLDS, which is based in the twin cities of Colorado City, Utah, and Hildale, Arizona, where recent floods devastated the community.
Warren Jeffs fathered some 60 children with some of his estimated 78 wives. The elder Jeffs is serving a life sentence, plus 20 years, after he was convicted in 2011 of the aggravated sexual assaults of a 12-year-old girl and a 15-year-old girl who Jeffs claimed were his "spiritual wives."
Despite his imprisonment, Jeffs is still firmly in control of the 10,000-member Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The FLDS is a breakaway Mormon sect that openly practices polygamy, something the mainstream Mormon church renounced more than a century ago.

Asylum seeker whose baby was stabbed is sent to detention
Date: 18.7.14 Source: Vered Lee, HAARETZ
Mulo, the Eritrean asylum seeker whose baby daughter was stabbed in the head in January, gazed despairingly at the summons he received Sunday to report to the open detention facility in Holot. "It's not enough that we were hurt?" he muttered, over and over.
Kako, then about 18 months old, was stabbed while in her mother's arms at Tel Aviv's Central Bus Station and severely injured. The assailant, Mordechai Zaretsky, admitted to police that he had wanted to kill a black baby, but he was never indicted because he was ruled unfit to stand trial. Instead, he was hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital.
After two and a half months in intensive care, Kako was released. But her mother, Yordanes, must still take her to a rehab hospital every day. Kako is lame in her right leg and has problems with concentration and motor skills. Because she is so young, it's not yet clear how much brain damage she suffered.
Her family has had trouble coping, especially given the lack of help from the authorities. "We didn't get any help from the Tel Aviv municipality, the Social Affairs Ministry or the Health Ministry," Mulo said. "Nobody's helping us. The girl was stabbed, and we're financing her medical treatment. We get help only from volunteers."
The whole family has suffered. Rut, the elder daughter, was present when Kako was stabbed, and Yordanes said she still wakes up crying in the middle of the night. Yordanes herself has had trouble functioning and hasn't been able to work; she suffers from depression and anxiety, and cries frequently. Mulo returned to his job at the Hetzi Hinam supermarket, but it doesn't pay enough for the family's needs.
On Sunday, Mulo went to the Interior Ministry to renew his visa. Because of the notoriously long lines for asylum seekers, he arrived at 4:30 A.M. After eight hours of standing in line with no water, he was finally admitted at 12:30 P.M. – only to be handed a summons to report to Holot for questioning.
"I couldn't believe it," Mulo said. "After our baby was stabbed by an Israeli who hasn't spent even a month in jail, this is what I get from the state? The State of Israel is sending me to jail? Where's the justice?
"I explained to the clerk that I was married with two daughters," he continued. "The clerk asked me where my wife was and why she hadn't come with me. I explained that my wife was at the hospital. He asked, 'What happened?' I explained that my younger daughter had been hurt, that she was stabbed by an Israeli. The clerk asked for my wife and daughter's documents. I explained that my wife doesn't need to extend her visa, that she has a visa for six months. I didn't understand why she needed to come. I explained to the clerk that she's in the hospital with the daughter who was stabbed … In any case, they have her documents in the computer."
Mulo said he then asked the clerk, "Haven't I been hurt enough in Israel?"
"Not enough," the clerk replied contemptuously. "You know how many Israelis have been hurt by Eritreans?"
"I didn't know how to answer," Mulo said, drying his tears at the memory. "In my mind's eye, I saw Kako hooked up to the respirator after she was stabbed. I was ashamed for him, that he spoke like that about a little girl who was stabbed."
Then, after examining the documents he had been issued by the Interior Ministry, the clerk claimed they were forged.
"How could I forge a visa that I got from the Interior Ministry?" Mulo demanded. But the clerk wouldn't budge.
"Then I asked, 'Who will take care of the girl?' And he answered, 'Get a babysitter.' I asked him, 'Will the state give me one?' And the clerk answered, 'The state doesn't have to give you anything!'"
Afterward, Mulo was made to wait for two hours, during which time various clerks came over and threatened, "Soon they'll come and take you to jail." Finally, he was handed the summons to report to Holot next Monday.
"I don't know what to do now," Mulo said. "Does the state really intend to imprison me in Holot? What crime did I commit? After everything we've gone through, a clerk talks to me like that? And what now – do I need to abandon my wife and daughters and go to jail?"
Yordanes burst into tears. "If my husband is in jail and I'm at the hospital with one daughter, who will take care of Rut, who's 3?" she demanded. "Who will support us?"
"Nobody took responsibility for Kako's stabbing," Mulo added, bitterly. "No state representative ever came to talk with us. Nobody in the country checks to see how we're coping. Nobody checks whether we need help. And finally, when I come to the Interior Ministry, they speak to me contemptuously, humiliating me and threatening me with jail?"
MK Michal Rosin (Meretz), chairwoman of the Knesset Committee on Foreign Workers, wasn't surprised by his story. "The Interior Ministry bureaucracy has been revealed over and over as hardhearted and incapable of seeing the people behind the names and numbers," she said.
She promised to contact the head of the ministry's Population, Immigration and Border Authority and demand that Mulo's summons to Holot be canceled. She also said she would seek legal status for the family on humanitarian grounds.
Anat Ovadia, spokeswoman for the Hotline for Refugees and Migrants, said it was "outrageous" that the family should be treated in such a fashion.
"Instead of handling them with sensitivity at a time when the damage and effects of the stabbing aren't even fully clear yet, they're threatening them with unlimited detention and treating them as if they were criminals," she said. "Unfortunately, we get many complaints about humiliating, coarse, violent and provocative questions by Interior Ministry representatives while they're interrogating couples, which are meant to break the asylum seekers' spirit."
Interior Ministry spokeswoman Sabine Haddad said that all employees are instructed to treat all members of the public, "including visa applicants," respectfully and generously. "If there are claims of ungenerous treatment in this case, the issue will be checked," she added.
Haddad confirmed that government policy is not to send men "who have proven" that they have families to Holot. "Exceptional cases in which coming with one's spouse presents a problem will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis," she said.

Attractiveness by high cheekbones (zygomatic bones)
A cheekbone onlay allows enhancement of cheeks which are sunken or receded. Faces with a flat midface structure and rather elongated shape can be made considerable more attractive by enhancing the cheekbone.
Treatment takes place via the oral cavity, preventing outwardly visible scars
Onlay materials such as lyophilised cartilage or other biological materials emphasise the cheekbones. The size and position of the zygomatic (cheekbone) onlay is determined in consultation with each patient. Every region of the zygomatic complex is carefully assessed, i.e. the anterior upper jaw/zygomatic region in the area of the sulcus infraorbitalis, the zygomatic body itself and the zygomatic arch. This differentiation is important and is often not considered.
Permanent result
As treatment takes place via the oral cavity there are no outwardly visible scars. The treatment is performed under general anaesthetic and is painless. Postoperatively there is merely a little swelling which usually occurs. The patient can subsequently return home. A long lasting result is achieved.

The material from lyophilised cartilage ossifies over time and transforms into the body's own bone. The material is embedded under the periosteum without the need for screws. This procedure achieves a permanent and natural effect
Patient report February 2018
Mrs. Pia K. Germany
I had my operation with Professor Sailer in October 2017. I learnt about the clinic several years ago. However, the procedure was not yet possible for me at that time.
After having an operation carried out on my lower jaw in Germany, which did not solve my actual problem, I decided that I would only have a second procedure carried out by a specialist. After a change of job, my dream once again seemed to be within reach and I arranged a consulting appointment. At the appointment I met Dr. Sailer and Professor Sailer and already on the flight back home I was sure that I would have the procedure carried out there. Following a second appointment, at which everything was precisely discussed and planned, I was lucky enough to be assigned an operation date a few weeks later.
It was a major procedure, but believe it or not, I was never in pain for a single moment. Three months have gone by now and everything has healed well and the swelling has subsided. After years of being dissatisfied, my new appearance is a source of delight every day. Having the procedure carried out was one of the best decisions of my life and I can wholeheartedly recommend the professor, his clinic and the whole team. Rest assured you are in good hands there, both in terms of care and technical competence.
Patient report: cheekone augmentation, chin correktion and jawline

I found a clinic and Dr. in Europe, who deals with facial implants, in addition to others body aesthetic surgeries. I decided to have the surgery there. The Dr. used jaw silicone implants, which look terrible on my face. The result became asymmetry, as the silicone implants moved, the size, shape and the location was not as I wanted, my chin became even longer with the implant, and the total look had no harmony at all. I was very disappointed.I thought to myself, may be my case is too complicated.
I felt that it's a must to correct the result, and remove the implants I had, because deeply inside I knew that my wish can come true. My brain told me to give up. My heart insisted to keep on looking for a surgeon. One day I found on a forum Pro. Sailer's website. I had a doubt "ohh another website where I'm about to find a minor facial structure transformation". I clicked on the gallery and I was in shock and amazed by the results. "WOW, this is what I want and need, a surgeon who is an expert with facial structure, with jawline, someone who has so much experience and not afraid to make a big transformations".

"WOW, this is what I want and need, a surgeon who is an expert with facial structure, with jawline, someone who has so much experience and not afraid to make a big transformations".
I could not wait to talk to Dr. Erica on the phone and to share with her my wish and story. I sent her some photos and some model's photo, in order to show her what is my wish. She calmed me down and showed Pro. Sailer my case. I got a phone call back later, it's was Dr. Erica – "we can do it!". Dr. Erica was very nice and gentle from the beginning, with a lot of confident. It's was a wonderful moment.
The next step was to book a consultation with Pro. Sailer. Angela helped me with her professional job to book it. She was very nice from the first call. I'm on my way to Zurich and I cannot wait to meet Pro. Sailer, Dr. Erica and the whole team. The clinic is well designed, the team is very professional and nice. First, I met Dr. Erica who welcomed me with open arms. She was very professional and advised me what are the best procedures to achieve my wish. She has a lot of experience and high aesthetic vision. Then, I met Pro. Sailer. WOW, what I can tell about him. From the very first moment I felt very comfortable with him, with no distance or masks, I felt like I know him for years. He looked at me, he looked at the model's photo and started to explain me how is it possible to make my wish come true. He noticed immediately alone to every detail. In this moment, I understood that he is synced with me, and that he is a real expert who does not afraid to deal with the real thing – with the facial bone structure. He feels at home in this field. Pro. Sailer has so much patient, which I've never seen before. He listened to every detail, and he really wanted to achieve my wish in the best way. Jelena joined to the consultations with her high aesthetic vision and experience. I could feel that I'm in the right clinic. I booked a second consultation to discuss some more issues. I felt like this is the correct place to have the surgery. I've never had this feeling before. Dr. Erica truly said to me "this is an investment for your whole life, it's much better than buying a new car". I totally agree.
I booked the surgery date with the wonderful Angela. I met Pro. Sailer and Jelena a couple of days before the surgery. Every detail was clear with a lot of patient in the pre-surgery consultation. The day of the surgery came, the moment of truth. I was very excited, but not too much nervous, because I'm not afraid from surgical procedures. In addition, I had a good feeling and knew that I put my face in the best facial surgeon's hand and with the best team. The anesthetic was very nice and funny. When I woke up I had no pains, just a stiff and numb feeling in my lower face. The heavy swollen begun in the day after for several days. I had to stay more than 10 days in Zurich, in order to see that my body accepts the jaw implants. Pro. Sailer and Jelena took care of me every day in the best way with a lot of funny moments along to thrilling moments. Dr. Erica encouraged me every time we met, and the whole team was very nice, supportive and helpful. My mom was next to me for the several first days, in order to support me.
Now, a month and a week after the surgery, I can say without any doubt and clearly, Pro. Sailer is the best facial surgeon in the world. No one could have done my wish better than him. After so much years of suffering, I can feel and see the harmony I wished for. For me, in addition to the amazing result, it gives me the opportunity to start a lot of new things. Finally, I can take photos and videos while I'm not hiding from the camera, more than this, I want to be in front of the camera. Pro. Sailer blessed by god with the ability, talent, gentle and modesty personality to touch people and replace disharmony with harmony with the best version of yourself.
Pro. Sailer, Dr. Erica, Dr. Kapor, Jelena, Angela and the whole team I love you so much, I'm so grateful, and I miss you a lot.
Thanks a lot,
Mr. O.
Patient report 2019
Mrs. S.P.
After an unsuccessful surgery I consulted many doctors in Germany in search of help.
After a lot of time searching the Internet, I learned about Prof. Sailer in Zürich
I contacted his very sympathetic and friendly wife, Frau Dr. Sailer, and Frau Oppenberger, who was also very helpful. I travelled to Zürich with my mum.
Prof. Sailer was the most caring and considerate doctor I have ever met.
Regarding my difficult situation, he put a lot of thought into how he could help me.
Prof. Sailer is trying to root out the exact cause of the problem.
Here at his clinic you're not just parked in a corner.
From the very first moment I felt well looked-after in Prof. Sailer's clinic and I have complete trust in him.
They also looked after my mum very well here.
They even rang me up after I got home to find out how I was doing.
A doctor had never done that for me before.
The entire team that we talked to at the clinic was more than helpful, and very kind too.
That's why we want to thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.
Thank you and until next time."
warm regards

Experience report by Maliqi Kushtrin, Switzerland
Since the age of 16, I have been unhappy with the asymmetry of my face, more precisely with the difference between my cheeks and upper cheekbones, and I began to look for a specialist on the Internet.
Professor Sailer in Zurich seemed to have the most experience in this, judging by the many photos on his website. The response to my first written inquiry already gave me the impression that my case and my aesthetic desires were being taken seriously. Based on the photos of my face I had sent to the hospital, I received a free phone consultation with Dr. Schwob a few days later. After the very informative conversation and a good feeling as well as a sense of trust that I had come to the right place, I agreed on an examination appointment. X-ray images were taken, and I also met Professor Sailer. He was very pleasant and I was surprised at how much time he took for me and my problem. I was also shown many impressive photos of patients who had undergone surgery at the clinic, and they even offered me the option of contacting some of them. They first of all prescribed an anti-clench splint for me, as I was clenching my teeth together and my jaws always make a cracking sound, which in turn caused my masticatory muscles to strengthen and grow. This lead to a good, but unfortunately still not completely satisfactory aesthetic result. I was determined to undergo reconstructive surgery to have my cheekbones aligned. My mother and my brother accompanied me to the last consulting appointment before surgery and encouraged me to proceed with my plans.
Nearly two years have passed since then and I am writing this letter to give a big thank you to Professor Sailer.
I am very glad I underwent this surgery.

I've spent hours working on a query letter, but I've never gotten more than a form letter in response. What am I doing wrong?
Let's reframe this question: Out of the hundred or so queries the agency receives each week, we request material from only one or two authors. What are those authors doing right?
They are thinking like job applicants. Once you understand that the process of finding an agent and applying for a job are similar, you'll understand what you've been doing wrong.
Successful letters often stand out from others by leading with a referral. This is the quickest way to get an agent's attention. Assistants are trained to pull out all letters that say, "Joe Smith, your former colleague at Morrow, suggested I write you…." If you have publishing contacts, no matter how distant, ask to use the contact's name.
Successful query-letter–writers have done their research. They understand in which section of the bookstore their book belongs, and they've learned what projects the agent they are soliciting represents. Their letters don't look like direct-mail solicitations.
Rather than leading with the plot, these letter-writers lay out the case for their book in a crisp, tidy four-paragraph format that begins:
- Here is a (describe type of book).
- It's the story of (give only a three-sentence summation).
- Here's how the book came to be written and what people think of it.
- Here are my credentials.
And the final plus is also the most obvious. An author with writing credentials – whether in short stories, daily newspapers, university press or other published books – is always taken more seriously.
WHAT ARE AGENTS LOOKING FOR? I've gone past the form-reject stage, but agents continue to tell me: "I just don't love this enough." What does that mean? I know I've written a good book.
It might be a polite brush-off, but if you're receiving personal letters from an agent, she's being more than polite. She may have an abundance of clients and your book isn't something she "gets" or responds to, or perhaps she doesn't think your project will sell for enough money to warrant her investment of time and effort.
Here's what's going through an agent's mind (like mine) when we take on an author's work:
- Our fingers tingle with excitement, and we marvel: "This is so much stronger than anything I've read in the last six months."
- We can visualize this on the bookstore shelf. We know precisely how to describe it to editors.
- We can think of six editors we know are eager to publish good books like this.
- This book will take us someplace new and exciting; we're going to learn something here.
- Hmmm, we might be able to sell this for significant money.
- Hmmm, this could be a bestseller.
- Hmmmm, maybe not, but we think that booksellers will keep it on the shelves for a decade.
- This could be our Pulitzer Prize winner.
I've gone through three guides to literary agents and selected six names. How can I tell if the agents are legitimate?
One good indicator is if an agent belongs to the AAR (the Association of Authors' Representatives). Agents admitted to the association are bound to specific ethical guidelines, and agents have been expelled for breaking the guidelines.
However, there are plenty of excellent agents who don't belong to the AAR. You'll want to make sure they're experienced and they've made sales to mainstream publishing houses. Publishersmarketplace.com is an excellent source of information. You can type in an agent's name and her recent deals will come up.
You can also look at the acknowledgements pages in books you admire to see which agents are thanked. You'll also be relieved to know that the editors of such directories as Literary MarketPlace, Writers Market and Jeff Herman's Guide to Book Publishers, Editors and Literary Agents are diligent about including only reputable agents.
An agent wants to represent me. What questions should I be asking?
Congratulations. Now ask her if she's got some time to talk, and listen to her answers to the following questions to see if you two would work comfortably together..
- Is this manuscript ready to be submitted to editors?
- How much work does my book need? Will the agent write you a letter or set aside some time to talk through any needed changes?
- Which publishers does she envision submitting the manuscript to?
- Has she ever worked on a book like this?
- Does she see this going to auction or would she submit to each publisher one at a time?
- Which publishers has she done business with?
- Does the agent want you to sign an agency agreement? If so, what are its general terms? Are you tied to the agent for a specific number of months? Years? Can the agreement be readily broken?
My agent says she wants me to transform my 600-page manuscript about the French Revolution into a 100-page proposal. Why?
In addition to an introduction to your book and at least two sample chapters of it, a nonfiction book proposal generally includes a three- or four-page overview, an analysis of the competition, your CV or bio and a table of contents to the proposal, as well as a roundup of pertinent publicity and marketing opportunities. That's the information an editor needs in hand in order to present your book at the meeting of her editorial board. The publisher, the publicist, the marketing director and possibly the sales director – along with several other editors – will be at that meeting. The acquiring editor will circulate your proposal packet to those colleagues, so your energy needs to be focused on ensuring that your proposal answers all the specific questions these colleagues may pose. Yes, your editor will read your complete manuscript; but for the editorial board meeting, her mind is in an acquisitions mode – not an editorial mode – and that's the information maw you need to help her feed.
Memoirs offer an exception to this general preference for nonfiction proposals over nonfiction manuscripts. If you're an "unknown" author submitting a memoir, your agent (and the editor) will likely want to see your entire manuscript before taking it on. Your agent will undoubtedly ask that the introduction to your memoir serves double duty as both an overview of the book and as your author bio.
I'm thinking of leaving my old agent. What can you do for me that my other agent wasn't able to?
Your old agent may be doing quite well by you – and in that case we'll advise you to stay where you are. Sometimes an author's web cruising for a new agent is just a flirtation and isn't "meant" to result in a change. In other instances, you – and your old agent – may be looking to make a fresh start. We would start by having a long conversation with you in which we ask about your film representation, your foreign publication history and your goals for the future. We'll talk about your current publisher and your sales figures and whether it's time for you to adopt a pseudonym or perhaps to write a different type of book. If you're a nonfiction author, we'll talk about your possible need for a publicist or a speaker's bureau. We'll lay out a written game plan for you, and then we'll both decide whether this is a good move for you.
Can I submit to multiple agents at Liza Dawson Associates?
Please submit to only one agent at a time. If one agent passes, you are welcome to submit to someone else.
Do you offer internships?
Yes, we have internships in the fall, spring, and summer. For more information, please click here. We do not offer remote internships.

After Congress approves the Bush administration's proposal to terminate Project Impact (see October 14, 1997-2001), FEMA institutes a new program under which pre-disaster mitigation (PDMs) grants are awarded on a competitive basis. Critics, such as the National Emergency Management Association (NEMA), say that under the competitive based program, lower income communities will not be able to effectively compete with higher income areas.

After FEMA is incorporated into the Department of Homeland Security (see March 1, 2003), veteran FEMA employees complain of a massive "brain drain." FEMA "has gone downhill within the department, drained of resources and leadership," I.M. "Mac" Destler, a professor at the University of Maryland School of Public Policy, will tell the Washington Post shortly after the 2005 Hurricane Katrina disaster. At least one veteran FEMA staff member, Pleasant Mann, complains on the record about the changes FEMA is undergoing (see Mid-September 2004). [Washington Post, 9/9/2005] Local officials complain that FEMA's new focus on terrorism threatens other necessary prevention programs. "With the creation of Homeland Security, [natural disaster prevention programs] have taken a backseat," says Walter Maestri, emergency management director in Jefferson Parish. "To us, it is pretty obvious which is the greater threat. One is maybe, the other is when."

The Bush administration's proposed fiscal year 2005 budget sets aside $325 million for civil works projects in the US Army Corps of Engineers' New Orleans district—slightly less than the $337 million approved by Congress the year before. According to Marcia Demma, chief of the Corps' programs management branch, the Corps will need $425 million for 2005. "We have a backlog of contracts, and it's just been for the past few years that… we haven't been funded at our full capability," Marcia Demma, chief of the Corps' programs management branch, tells New Orleans CItyBusiness. Of the $325 million proposed in the Bush budget, the Southeast Louisiana Urban Flood Control Project (SELA) would receive $30 million, far short of the $42 million the Corps says it needs, and $4 million less than fiscal year 2004's actual budget. According to Stan Green, SELA project manager, the $30 million would probably allow the Corps to continue its current work on 12 projects in Jefferson and Orleans parishes. But if it were fully funded, he says, it could award contracts for an additional 14 projects. [New Orleans CityBusiness, 2/16/2004] (Congress ultimately approves $36.5 million for SELA. [Los Angeles Times, 9/4/2005] ) The administration's proposed budget includes only $3.9 million for the New Orleans' East Bank Hurricane Levee Project, a mere fraction of the $27.1 million requested by the Corps. According to Al Naomi, who manages this project, the budgeted allotment would not even cover the $4.5 million required for unpaid fiscal year 2004 work. (The sum ultimately approved by Congress for the east bank project is $5.7 million.) [New Orleans CityBusiness, 2/16/2004; Times-Picayune, 6/8/2004; Knight Ridder, 9/1/2005; Knight Ridder, 9/1/2005; Washington Post, 9/8/2005, pp. A01] Additionally, the president's budget rejects a draft plan, submitted in October 2003 (see October 2003) by the Army Corp of Engineers, to begin a $14 billion dollar project to restore Louisiana's coastal wetlands. Instead, the president directs the Corps to refocus its ongoing restoration study to produce a single, prioritized list of projects that can be completed in 10 years. Additionally, the corps is directed to include in its study several other larger restoration projects that are not part of the Louisiana Coastal Area study, and determine whether the mouth of the Mississippi can be altered to let sediment create new areas of wetlands to its east and west quickly, while still allowing shipping to reach port facilities in New Orleans and elsewhere along the river. Eight million dollars is allocated to the effort, only a fraction of the $50 million that was requested by Louisiana's Governor (see January 2004). In the budget's narrative, the White House acknowledges for the first time that Louisiana's disappearing wetlands are partly the result of the US Army Corps of Engineers' channeling of the Mississippi River for shipping and the construction of flood-control levees along the river to protect New Orleans. It also says that canals built by the oil and gas industry, natural subsidence, and rising sea levels are contributing factors to Louisiana's net loss of coastal wetlands.

Al Naomi, the US Army Corps of Engineers' project manager, "begs" the East Jefferson Levee Authority for $2 million to fund necessary levee repairs that Washington has refused to fund. "The system is in great shape, but the levees are sinking. Everything is sinking, and if we don't get the money fast enough to raise them, then we can't stay ahead of the settlement," he says. "The problem that we have isn't that the levee is low, but that the federal funds have dried up so that we can't raise them." The authority agrees to fund the repairs.

Nobody locally is happy that the levees can't be finished, and we are doing everything we can to make the case that this is a security issue for us."

FEMA sponsors a 5-day exercise rehearsing for a mock storm, named "Pam," that destroys over half a million buildings in New Orleans and forces the evacuation of a million residents. The drill is conducted by Innovative Emergency Management (IEM).
[Associated Press, 7/24/2004; Times-Picayune, 7/24/2004; Knight Ridder, 9/1/2005] It is attended by about 250 emergency officials and involves more than 40 federal, state, and local agencies, as well as volunteer organizations. As part of the scenario, about 200,000 people fail to heed evacuation orders. Pam slams directly into New Orleans bringing 120 mph winds, 20 inches of rain, 14 tornadoes, and a massive storm surge that overtops levees flooding the city with 20 feet of water containing a toxic mix of corpses, chemicals, and human waste. Eighty percent of the city's buildings are damaged. Survivors crawl to the rooftops to wait for help, but rescue workers are impeded by impassable roads. [Federal Emergency Management Agency, 7/23/2004; Knight Ridder, 9/1/2005; New York Times, 9/1/2005; MSNBC, 9/2/2005; Associated Press, 9/9/2005] The flooding results in a massive number of casualties and leaves large portions of southeast Louisiana uninhabitable for more than a year. [Associated Press, 9/9/2005] At the conclusion of the exercise, Ron Castleman, regional director for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, states: "We made great progress this week in our preparedness efforts. Disaster response teams developed action plans in critical areas such as search and rescue, medical care, sheltering, temporary housing, school restoration and debris management. These plans are essential for quick response to a hurricane but will also help in other emergencies."
[Reuters, 9/2/2005] As a result of the exercise, officials come to realize how difficult it will be to evacuate the city's population in the event of a real hurricane. They expect that only a third of the population will be able leave before the storm hits, in part due to the fact that up to 100,000 residents live in households without a car. When asked how many people might die in such a storm, FEMA spokesman David Passey hesitates before stating, "We would see casualties not seen in the United States in the last century."
[Times-Picayune, 7/20/2004] In December 2004, a 412-page draft report summarizing the exercise will be completed with detailed predictions of what the government should expect in the event that a major hurricane strikes New Orleans. Predictions - Flood waters would surge over levees, creating "a catastrophic mass casualty/mass evacuation" and leaving drainage pumps crippled for up to six months. "It will take over one year to re-enter areas most heavily impacted," the report predicts. More than 600,000 houses and 6,000 businesses would be affected, and more than two-thirds of them would be destroyed. Almost a quarter-million children would have no school. "All 40 medical facilities in the impacted area [would be] isolated and useless." Casualties would be staggering: 61,290 deaths, 187,862 injured, and 196,395 ill. A half million people would be made homeless by the storm. Storm "refugees" would be housed at college campuses, military barracks, hotels, travel trailers, recreational vehicles, private homes, cottages, churches, Boy Scout camps, and cruise ships. [Associated Press, 9/9/2005] Recommendations -
"Federal support must be provided in a timely manner to save lives, prevent human suffering and mitigate severe damage. This may require mobilizing and deploying assets before they are requested via normal (National Response Plan) protocols."
[Associated Press, 9/9/2005] Top officials briefed - Ivor van Heerden, the Louisiana State University hurricane researcher who ran the exercise, reports that a "White House staffer was briefed on the exercise," and thus, "there is now a far greater awareness in the federal government about the consequences of storm surges."
[Louisiana State University, 2005] After the Hurricane Katrina Disaster, van Heerden will recall in an interview with MSNBC that the federal government didn't take the exercise seriously. "Those FEMA officials wouldn't listen to me. Those Corps of Engineers people giggled in the back of the room when we tried to present information." When Heerden recommended that tent cities be prepared for displaced residents, "their response… was: 'Americans don't live in tents' and that was about it."
[MSNBC, 9/2/2005] Follow-up - Another exercise is scheduled the following year, but it's cancelled when its funding is cut (see 2005).

Hurricane Ivan approaches the Southern Gulf Coast. Residents of New Orleans have been urged to leave the city, but its evacuation routes are "spectacularly clogged, and authorities [acknowledge] that hundreds of thousands of residents [will] not get out in time."
[Dallas Morning News, 9/14/2004; Washington Post, 9/15/2004] Terry Tullier, director of emergency preparedness for the city of New Orleans, explains to the Associated Press. "There is no plan that exists that will keep this logjam from occurring."
[Associated Press, 9/13/2004] Notwithstanding, approximately 600,000 residents will successfully flee the city, [Philadelphia Inquirer, 10/8/2004] though for some the trip takes as long as ten hours. [US News and World Report, 7/18/2005] Ivan will make landfall east of Louisiana near Gulf Shores, Alabama, sparing the city of New Orleans from a catastrophe.

Walter Maestri, Director of the Emergency Management Center in Jefferson Parish, receives a call from Max Mayfield, Director of the National Hurricane Center. As Maestri later recalls, "Max said to me, 'Walter, I just want to alert you that a couple of the models are heading this thing right to New Orleans, and I think this thing is going to seriously intensify. You need to be ready.' At that time, the track was going up the west coast of Florida, so I said to Max, 'Are you kidding me?' And he said, 'No, Walt, this is real.'" Maestri immediately convenes his staff to begin preparations. According to Maestri, government officials—at all levels—have prepared for this event for years. During conferences, officials repeatedly have repeatedly discussed the fact that a hurricane could flood all of New Orleans and kill up to 40,000 people. Manuals, spanning hundreds of pages, set forth who (local, state, and federal) will do what and when, when the "monster storm hits." These officials have repeatedly run hurricane exercises to practice execution of the plans. Mayfield will also warn Louisiana and FEMA officials. He briefs FEMA headquarters in a video teleconference, so that he can see the decision-makers during the call. [National Public Radio, 9/9/2005]

He continues, "I cannot emphasize enough to Kenner residents—the urgency, the absolute need to evacuate," warning that the weakest spot is the parish line along Airline highway, where the levee board sandbags will only be six feet high, and thus, "they are going to be overrun."

Around the same time, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin encourages Jefferson Parish officials to follow the state evacuation plan, which calls for low-lying coastal areas to evacuate first, warning that: "The problem with this storm is that it's going to compress everything. We have a shorter window to deal with this storm and we've got to get people to start evacuating." Jefferson Parish declares a voluntarily evacuation for most of the parish and a mandatory evacuation for the coastal areas of Grand isle, Crown Point, Lafitte and Barataria. Plaquemines Parish declares a mandatory evacuation and begins evacuating special-needs residents by mid-day.

Things could change, but as of right now, New Orleans is definitely the target for this hurricane." Nagin says that New Orleans will follow the state's evacuation plan, and thus, he will not officially order evacuations until 30 hours before expected landfall, to allow those residents in low-lying surrounding areas to leave first. However, he recommends that residents in low-lying areas of the city, such as Algiers and the 9th Ward, get a head start, noting: "We want you to take this a little more seriously and start moving—right now, as a matter of fact." Acknowledging that many residents have no independent means of transportation, Nagin says that the city might open the Superdome as a shelter of last resort for evacuees with special needs, but advises evacuees who plan to stay there to bring their own food, drinks, and other comforts necessary. Police Chief Eddie Compass states that New Orleans likely will issue a curfew at some point, and the police department will station police officers at shopping centers to prevent looting. Blanco sums up the situation: "We have been very blessed so far. We've escaped the brunt of most of the hurricanes that have been generated. But now it looks like we're going to have to bear some of the brunt of this storm."

The 2004 Hurricane Pam exercise (see July 19-23, 2004) indicated that approximately 65 percent of the New Orleans-area population would evacuate before a major hurricane. [Washington Post, 9/11/2005] However, initial reports indicate that the Katrina evacuation has exceeded these expectations—significantly. Almost one million people (or about 80 percent of the population) have left the greater New Orleans area, according to Jeff Smith, Deputy Director of Louisiana's Emergency Planning. Later, Smith will note that, "Everyone is kind of focusing on response at this point in time. I don't hear anybody talking about how successful that evacuation was. It probably saved hundreds of thousands of lives, and nobody wants to talk about that." Smith will acknowledge, however, that up to 100,000 residents may not have evacuated. [National Public Radio, 9/9/2005 Sources: Jeff Smith] When asked about the evacuation of the reported 100,000 residents without transportation, FEMA Director Mike Brown will say "I think enough was done," adding that his only question is whether the mandatory evacuation should have been announced sooner. [Wall Street Journal, 9/12/2005] Jefferson Parish reports a 70 percent evacuation rate, in part due to a "church buddy program," which provided rides for approximately 25,000 residents.

Around midnight, local emergency officials from southeastern Louisiana hold a teleconference with FEMA to discuss plans for responding to Katrina's aftermath. Local officials are so certain of catastrophe that they ask FEMA to include extra medical staff in its first wave of responders to help the expected casualties. At this point, officials are reportedly following a plan drafted only months ago, as a result of the Hurricane Pam exercise conducted in 2004 (see July 19-23, 2004). [Chicago Tribune, 9/11/2005] Note - Following the 2004 Hurricane Pam exercise, Innovative Emergency Management (IEM issued a Draft Southeast Louisiana Catastrophic Hurricane Functional Plan (Draft Plan) on August 6, 2004. [Federal Emergency Management Agency, 8/6/2004 ] Whether local officials are following this draft plan, or a later plan, remains unclear at this time. The Chicago Tribune reports that the plan in place provides that local officials should be prepared to deal with the aftermath of the storm for 48 to 60 hours (or until August 31). However, the Draft Plan expressly contemplates that local search and rescue resources will be unavailable to rescue the estimated 500,000 people in flooded or damaged areas. [Federal Emergency Management Agency, 8/6/2004, pp. 69-70, 72 ] Thus, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, and the US Coast Guard are expected to serve as the primary first-responders, while local officials are tasked with requesting assistance. [Federal Emergency Management Agency, 8/6/2004, pp. 70-74 ] Further, while local parishes are tasked with identifying required support, the Plan recognizes that they may be unable to do so: "State and Federal SAR operations personnel will respond to Parishes without a request if initial assessment indicates that the Parish is severely damaged and is not capable of requesting assistance."
[Federal Emergency Management Agency, 8/6/2004, pp. 75 ] The Plan also contemplates that 500,000 residents will need transport from the initial search and rescue staging area to shelters, and that because the Louisiana National Guard will be otherwise tasked, it will be unable to meet this transportation need.

Early this morning, Colonel Tim Tarchick, wing commander for the Air Force's Reserve 920th Rescue Wing at Florida's Patrick Air Force Base, tells FEMA and Northcom that his men are "ready to go," and requests permission to conduct search and rescue missions as soon as the storm subsides. FEMA tells Tarchick that it is not authorized to task military units, according to Tarchick. Tarchick will be unable to cut through the red tape and deploy for more than 24 hours, until Tuesday afternoon, a delay Tarchick describes as "unacceptable." Within 72 hours of deployment, his men will rescue 400 people in the New Orleans area. "He wonders how many more they might have saved."

At around 8:00 am this morning, authorities report rising water on both sides of the Industrial Canal, in St. Bernard and eastern New Orleans. The Coast Guard reports that residents are on rooftops in the Upper 9th Ward. "Water is inundating everywhere," in St. Bernard, Parish Council Chairman Joey DiFatta says.

Category Tags: During Katrina, Federal, Louisiana: SELA, Louisiana: State, Levee Breach/Flooding
Around 9:00 am this morning, the 17th Street Canal levee-floodwall system is breached. However, according to Al Naomi, Army Corps of Engineers' New Orleans project manager, the breach occurs in mid- or late-morning after Katrina's eye has passed east of New Orleans. By that time, north winds have pushed storm surge water in Lake Pontchartrain south against the hurricane levees and into the canals, and then the wind shifts to the west. "As I remember it the worst of the storm had passed when we got word the floodwall had collapsed," Naomi later says. "It could have been when we were experiencing westerly winds in the aftermath of the storm, which would have been pushing water against it." Naomi and other Corps officials will later say that they believe that the water in the canal topped the levee on the Orleans Parish side, weakening its structure on the interior side and causing its collapse. Ivor Van Heerden, LSU Hurricane Center expert, however, will say that he does not believe the water was high enough in the lake to top the 14-foot wall and that the pressure caused a "catastrophic structural failure."
[McQuaid, 9/7/2005 Sources: Al Naomi, Ivor Van Heerden] Note - Reports about when this breach occurs vary. For example, Knight Ridder reports that the breach occurred at 3:00 am this morning, and that the breach was reported to the Army Corps of Engineers around 5:00 am. [Knight Ridder, 9/11/2005] Later today, the Army Corps of Engineers will report that the breach occurred "overnight" and that the Industrial Canal breach occurs at this time. [US Army Corps of Engineers, 8/29/2005 Sources: US Army Corps of Engineers] The Boston Globe will report that the breach occurs later this afternoon. [Boston Globe, 9/11/2005] The Chicago Tribune will report that the breach does not occur until August 30. [Chicago Tribune, 9/11/2005] However, it appears more likely that the 17th Street Canal floodwall-levee is breached around this time, and that the early morning breach reported is the breach of the floodwall(s) in the Industrial Canal.

Governor Kathleen Blanco holds a press conference urging evacuated residents to stay put. Blanco reports that officials have received calls from 115 people in New Orleans who say they are stranded, as well as an Unknown number of people in St. Bernard and Plaquemines Parishes. When the winds subside, boats will be deployed from Jackson Barracks in the Lower 9th Ward to go look for people who are trapped. Blanco discusses the widespread flooding in St. Bernard and Plaquemines Parishes, reporting that the water as deep as 10-12 feet in some places. Local officials at the St. Bernard courthouse are trapped on the second floor, and water is rising to that level. State officials have received reports that as many as 20 buildings in New Orleans have collapsed or toppled from the winds. Water is leaking from the 17th Street Canal floodwall. [Times-Picayune Blog, 8/29/2005] During the press conference, Blanco thanks FEMA Director Michael Brown and says, "I hope you will tell President Bush how much we appreciated—these are the times that really count—to know that our federal government will step in and give us the kind of assistance that we need." Senator Mary Landrieu (D-La.) reiterates Blanco's praise: "We are indeed fortunate to have an able and experienced director of FEMA who has been with us on the ground for some time." Brown responds to their praise in kind: "What I've seen here today is a team that is very tight-knit, working closely together, being very professional doing it, and in my humble opinion, making the right calls."

Welcome to Southside Christian School's website. We strive to serve our school families by providing a one-stop source (our website) for up-to-date information. We also seek to provide new families with information that will allow them to understand the commitment that we have to being a Christian school that prays together, serves together, and really seeks to be family. As you read the various pages of our website, please continue to pray for the ministry of Christian education at SCS.
If you are a family seeking enrollment for your children, please note that we are a discipleship school. The admissions process will start with your family's alignment as a family who is active in your Christian faith. Please read the pages of our website and then if you want to be considered for enrollment of your elementary, middle, or high school age student then click on the admissions tab to begin the process.

SCS Athletics are provided on the belief that students attending a Christian school should first have a strong development of their faith and also have a quality academic program. In addition, we believe that SCS students learn many life lessons and are in fact strengthened in their faith as they learn about "teamwork" and as they compete in SCS Athletics. Please learn more about the SCS Athletic programs by clicking the SCS Athletics. "Thank you for supporting SCS Athletics. Go Warriors!"
Please visit the SCS website regularly to learn about events that have just taken place and to see upcoming school events. Stay informed and up to date with the latest SCS news.
SCS Students Serve!
One of the cornerstones to the SCS program is the service of our students to the community. We start in the elementary school and build toward the middle school with 10 required service hours each year and then to the high school program with 20 required service hours each year. Service is a mark of servanthood and we strive to teach our students to be servant leaders.
SCS Mission
Southside Christian School is a college-preparatory Christian school which exists to support Christian families by providing Christ-centered education in an environment which challenges students to pursue spiritual and academic excellence.
SCS Students on Mission
We are proud of our students who serve on foreign mission trips each year. In addition to student and parent involvement on foreign missions, SCS has many faculty and administration who have served both short-term and long-term on foreign missions. We believe that serving others — in our community, in our state and nation, and in foreign countries — is a key mark of a school striving to disciple servant leaders.
Discipleship at work
We believe students have the best chance of reaching their God-given potential as they grown and mature when they :
- hear the Word of God shared daily in the classrooms by teachers who are passionate in their faith.
- are coached by coaches who love the Lord and want students to succeed on and off the field of athletics.
- are nurtured by caring teachers, staff, and administration.
Then students have the best chance of reaching their God-given potential as they grow and mature. That is what SCS is all about!
Encouragement to new families
We encourage you to consider an SCS education for your children if your family loves the Lord and is committed to investing in your child's education in a Christ-centered college-preparatory program.
