Febuary  03,2010

                 Idaho Central Valley Baptist church has come under fire in the last week, for trying to help some of Haiti’s children. At this point the State Department is saying that the State department is working with some of the familys. And yet publicly the State Department is not saying anything at this time which really bothers me.

                           The more I hear about this story the more it troubles me, Here is what I found out. 10 members of central valley Baptist church from Merridian Idaho, here is what has happened over the last 5 days. First the 10 members of this church went to Haiti Last tuesday and When they arrived in the Dominican Republic  they found 3 interperters since they did not speak the language, then they proceeded to Lease a 45 room Hotel in an resort town. That they had planned to turn into an orphanage. They had planned 2 years ago to start an orphanage and a school to help the people of Haiti. 

                    Now when the Earthquake happened it accellerated what the church wanted to do, which is what  pastor Clint Henry  said  on the weekend on CNN News.   Their intention was never to cause any problems they just wanted to help the children in Haiti and ease their suffering.  There was another Pastor by the name of Drew Ham that has also come out and spoke about this from the same church. This church has approximently 500 members, and the church is located in Merridian Idaho not far from the capital of Idaho, being Boise Idaho.  They did not go to Haiti to steal Children as some have said, or to adopt them out to familys for 10,000 Dollars and. They were not going to trafficate those children. As I have read in numerous articles. Their only intention was to help the people that were suffering. 

                   In my oppinion as time goes on its beginning to look like the Haitian government has made an huge mistake by arresting these people. So far none of the charges that the Government of Haiti has made have stuck. These 10 people were supposed to go to court Febuary 2,2010. But instead they took the 5 woman into one place, and questioned them for 5 hours. Then brought the media in and so they could talk to them. And the reporter from CNN said, the women would not answer their questions at first. They instead started singing songs and prayed. Larry King on tuesday nights show asked why no one in the church had heard from them since last friday the Pastor Drew Ham said thats becuase their cell phones were taken from them when they arrested I   kinda wonder why someone would ask that but oh well.  I called the church to get an interview but was not able too the Pastor I spoke to was Drew Ham and he said they are no longer granting any interviews at this time.  

                           I dont know what the true story on this case at this point it seems to be all over the place and more people are coming out now as well such as an Journalist today said that she spoke to Laura Silsby last week in the Dominican Republic she said MS Silsby told her she and her group were going into Haiti to pick up about 100 children from various orphanages and take them to their orphanage in the Dominican Republic but the reporter said you cant do that in that way each child has to have paperwork signed by the Prime Minister in order to leave the country so Ms Silsby went into an building and came back out with a piece of paper stating thats all she needed well then when she went accross the border into Haiti 

                  apparrently she Ms Silsby got the assisstance of what is believe to be an police officer or what was thought to be an police officer  at this point no one knows other then the people directly involved I have so many more questions then answers and now that the church is no longer doing interviews makes me wonder what the real truth is but with this blog I plan to put everything I have into it so everyone that reads it will know everything that I do last week it looked like the Haitian Government might have acted too hasty but right now with is happening seems like there are at least 10 different storys going around.

                  But let me be fair here I also do not believe the Haitian Government 100 percent either they are known to have a lot child trafficking in their country and have actualy looked away when its happened so why are they allover this case and whats with our state department why are they not speaking I put a call into the state Department for an interview request  and yes you guessed it they too are refusing to answer and questions  I am not finished with this blog quite yet a lot more to write about this case

                   Hi Everyone,

                            Ava Indiana and I every Friday night do an Show on Survival on Blog Talk Radio.  Our show is all about helping people to survive hard times and prepareing for unknown or unforeseen situations, that we all could be or have been in from time to time. 

                    If you live in Tornado or Hurricane prone or Even Earthquake prone area’s of this country, you may need a room of your house that you and your family can live in that is safe. where you and your children could be safe from windows breaking and falling debri’s. Please keep keep your pets in mind they need to be and feel safe as well. Dont forget your children will panic less if they are helping you to prepare too. It is crucial that you all know as a family where to meet in an emergency in case of separation. All of this information will help also in case of an fire, We Learned just how unprepared we were an couple of years ago. When we had an Fire near where we live, so after the fire was out which took a lot longer then we figured it would. We decided we would never feel that helpless again. In our area we are all close knit group of people we know our Nieghbors and are always helping each other, if you live in an a Rural area then you know what I am speaking about. It really helps if you know your neighbors so even if you live in an city. You can survive any disaster that happens eigther natural or manmade. 

One thing we learned when we had the fire up here in the Mountains, is that we did not have a suitcase ready to go. The major problem with that is that when you are in an hurry to pack, then you pack things that you may not need so. I would suggest that you pack a suit case for each person in your household. Including each of your pets for the pets, the suitcase can just be a small back pack. You will want to include their food dish and water dish a leash a pillow for their pet carrier and. an container of Dry petfood.  Do not forget their vetanary records and a favorite snacks and one of their favorite toy. 

                  Now for each of your children each child needs to have a suit case you can have your children help here.   They can choose which toy they want to place in the suitcase. Since it is winter time right now I would of course pack warm clothing a pair of boots, warm coat, Hats, and mittens, these things should always stay in the car including a warm blanket. Or if you have severval children, you may want a blanket for each one. This also comes in handy when it comes to warming up the car in the morning. and you are running late, it takes a while to warm up so let each child use a blanket to keep warm in the meantime.  you also may want to carry extra travel safe games and a video or 2  

                  Some other items to keep in your car for emergencys are flashlights, Kitty litter yes I said kitty litter.  Becuase if you get stuck in mudd you can pour a little around your tires and then you get out of the mudd.  You can also keep old fashioned metal coffee cans an tea lights in the car  that you light with a kitchen match. These tea lights inside a coffee can will emitt some heat just be sure you blow them out before trying to sleep. They can pose the same hazard that normal candles that you may use at home. such as causing a fire, 

                  In suitcases that I pack for the car I switch out clothes every 3 months, for both mine and my husbands. I pack about a weeks supply and I also keep an container filled with enough laundry detergent and fabric sheets. to do several loads of laundry in my emergency container. I have toilet paper 2 pkgs of 4 rolls and I keep 6 Bath towels and 4 wash cloths. I also have some canned food in an container. I keep next to the front door, and I keep those big 5 Quart ice cream containers that. I fill with fresh water and, I keep six 6Gallon containers filled with water. The smaller ones are filled with water to drink, and the bigger ones are filled with water that we use to fill the toilet. During times of power outages, and we have power outages sometimes they are for 20 minutes other times they are much longer. I have actually done radio shows without power. They were so much fun, but I have a cellphone with an data plan. And a laptop I keep charged up and an wired telephone. and when I am away from my house. I can use my husbands cell phone to call into blogtalk radio network. My next plan is to get one of those cell phones that you pay as you go to call in to the station when on travel. These are just some of the things that we do some of these things save us money others just make life easier. Oh yes before I forget another thing we use the large 6 gallon containers of water for is filling our evaperatorive cooler in the summer.  We also have a couple of large Batterie’s   that supply the power for the cooler we are talking about the room size cooler and it runs our TV and Direct TV box.
