churches who own the cabins believe it was going to be used.
Jesse Jackson was right when he said "refugees" was not the appropriate word for
the poor souls dislocated due to Katrina. But he was wrong about why it is not
appropriate. It's not appropriate because they are detainees, not refugees.
Falls Creek is like a small town that is closed down about 9 months out of the
year. It is made up of cabins that range from small and humble to large and
grandiose, according to how much money the church who owns the cabin has. Each
cabin has full kitchen facilities, bathrooms and usually have two large
bunkrooms - one for women and one for men. The occupancy of the cabins varies
according to the church. This past week the Southern Baptist association of
Oklahoma offered the facility as a place to house refugees from the Katrina

make their cabin available. Churches across the state agreed.
