Caylee Marie: will she ever rest in peace?

Caylee Marie and the many people I met and worked with over the past eight months made an everlasting impact on my life, but also an everlasting opinion on how one little girl can continue to intrigue a nation and for that matter a world.

Will Caylee Marie ever rest in peace? Will the truth ever be exposed? Most importantly, will we ever know why someone would cause such pain to an angel who became the "Sunshine" to many people's lives?

I have so many questions and like with all of you, I just hope these questions soon will be answered so "America's Angel" can be the wind beneath our wings in helping other families find their little angels too.

For updates and to leave a message to George, Cindy, and the family continue visiting www.myspace.com/cayleeismissing.

Another Angel in Heaven – Stephanie Condon’s Remains Found

Today has been bittersweet for many families across the country, but for the Condon Family it means closure. Stephanie Condon was only 14-years old when she disappeared while babysitting her cousin on October 30, 1998 in Tri City, Oregon.
A beautiful teenager, Stephanie loved hanging with her friends, playing volleyball, and had a zest for life. On Friday, March 13, 2009 a hiker walking his dog near Glide, Oregon found skeleton remains; today it was announced they were the remains of Stephanie Condon.

American Idol Weekly Recap - March 10th

American Idol Weekly Recap – March 10, 2009
By Michelle A. Bart


This week’s American Idol narrowed down the playing field to not twelve but thirteen singers looking for their big break in making it to the top. After callers voted -Jasmine, Anoop, and Jorge were in the bottom. With the option from the judges (one save in the entire season) to keep one of them, Jasmine and Jorge were both sent home.

My opinion, Anoop and Jorge both should have been sent packing. Jasmine, only 16 years old, in my opinion would have been able to surpass many others in weeks ahead if given a little more time to show her colors; her voice is awesome and in the end I believe she many have been in the top five, but we’ll never really know.

Jasmine, use this as a stepping stone and next year try out again – I believe you will go far in life, but your voice will guide you even farther!

Hope this wasn’t another Jennifer Hudson mistake. Tonight, I predict Adam and Lil to rock it out in the end, but that’s this week’s prediction, with Idol all things are possible and you can never underestimate the voters/callers.

Human Trafficking Awareness Event this Sunday!

Soroptimist Launches Trafficking Awareness Campaign Sunday

Vancouver, WA / Portland, OR- As you read this, there are women and girls right here in Clark County being held against their will. Modern day slaves, they are exploited as laborers and commercial sex workers. These wives, mothers and daughters may be off our radar – but they need our help.
The trafficking of human beings is a serious problem throughout the world. According to U.S. government estimates, 800,000–900,000 victims are trafficked globally each year and 17,500– 18,500 are trafficked into the United States. In particular, the sexual trafficking of women and girls is a widespread problem, implicating nearly every country in the world:
· Around 75 percent of all human trafficking victims are trafficked for sexual exploitation.
· There have been reports of sexual trafficking in at least 20 U.S. states.
· At any given time, there are 30,000 –50,000 sex slaves in the United States.

Clark County Soroptimist International Clubs will host a forum on Sunday, January 11, 2009 from 2-4pm at the Water Resources Education Center, 4600 SE Columbia Way, Vancouver, Washington to bring more awareness to this modern day plague that is becoming a growing concern and problem in our own backyard.

Come hear keynote speakers: James Pond from Transitions Global and Liz Ferguson of Shared Hope International whose organizations continue to rescue individuals each and every day from this modern-day slavery.

Soroptimist is an international organization for business and professional women who work to improve the lives of women and girls, in local communities and throughout the world. Almost 95,000 Soroptimists in about 120 countries and territories contribute time and financial support to community–based and international projects that benefit women and girls.

The name, Soroptimist, means "best for women," and that's what the organization strives to achieve. Soroptimists are women at their best, working to help other women to be their best.

This free forum will offer refreshments, speakers, and resources. For more information on this National Day of Human Trafficking Awareness please call Mary Weber at (360) 608-5315 or Marilyn Brown at (360) 833-1828.
