President Bush said he noticed a &8220;sense of renewal&8221; Monday as he returned to the scene of Hurricane Katrina&8217;s devastation on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Bush is correct, but the renewal isn&8217;t complete.

Sure, things on the Coast are getting back to normal a bit, at least in some ways.

However, problems &8212; huge problems &8212; remain. The president&8217;s visit marked the one-year point since the killer storm raged ashore.

Much has change in that year.

Tons and tons of debris have been cleaned up and hauled away. Much of the rubble that remained of houses and businesses has been cleared, too.

But sadly, too many blue tarp roofs still exist. Too many children are still living with their families in FEMA trailers, not knowing how long the help will last.

Too many homeowners are left holding an insurance policy barely worth the paper on which it&8217;s printed. In most cases the futility is simply because some adjuster decided it was water, not hurricane wind, that caused the damage to their property.

What is perhaps more troubling than the remaining physical damage is the unseen mental damage. Preliminary reports show that mental illness rates have skyrocketed.

Today, as we reflect on what exactly happened a year ago when Katrina hit, we should continue looking to the future and the myriad of things still in need of repair &8212; people, places and things.
