NATIONAL MEDICAL EXAMINERS ISSUES REACCREDITATION FOR JEFFERSON PARISH CORONER'S OFFICE (Harvey, LA) - The Jefferson Parish Coroner's office is one of only six Coroner's offices out of 1,600 offices across the country to be Accredited by the National Association of Medical Examiners (NAME), announced Jefferson Parish Coroner Gerry Cvitanovich today. The office was originally accredited in 2009 under the leadership of former Coroner Robert Treuting. In naming its reaccreditation for the Jefferson Parish Coroner's office, NAME said that the Jefferson Coroner's office easily achieved accreditation. In its intense and rigorous survey of the office, Medical Examiner inspectors revealed zero deficiencies among its extensive checklist of more than 350 items. Inspection Team Chairman Dr. David Fowler said, "The Jefferson Parish Coroner's Office represents one of the highest quality systems found anywhere in the United States. The citizens can be proud of the hard work, dedication and leadership of Dr. Cvitanovich and his team in attaining this high honor." The accreditation will continue until October 2019 at which time the office will need to reapply for its continued accreditation. "This accreditation means our office is not only meeting, but exceeding the highest professional standards," said Dr. Cvitanovich. "The fact that the inspectors found zero deficiencies is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team at the Jefferson Parish Coroner's Office." The Jefferson Parish Coroner's office is the only coroner's office in the Gulf South to achieve the NAME accreditation. The NAME inspection checklist covers items from multiple categories, including office space, training, safety guidelines, tissue donations and mass disaster plans. |
Former New Orleans Saints player Steve Gleason has won the 2015 George Halas Award from the Pro Football Writers of America, the organization announced on Monday.
The award is given to an NFL player, coach or staff member who overcomes adversity to succeed. Halas was an owner, manager and player for the Chicago Bears and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1963. Gleason is the third player from the Saints to win the award, joining kicking Tom Dempsey (1972) and quarterback Drew Brees (2007). Gleason, who was diagnosed with ALS, sometimes called Lou Gehrig's disease, has raised funding and awareness through his activism and charitable foundations. Team Gleason aspires to help people diagnosed with ALS to live "productive, inspired lives by providing access to life-affirming events and assistive technology until a cure is found." In announcing Gleason's award, the PFWA wrote: "His zeal for life and travel around the world has not been slowed by his diagnosis. Fueled by his slogans of "No White Flags!" and "Awesome Ain't Easy", Gleason and his foundation got to work almost immediately to raise public awareness about ALS and find ways to end the disease. He completed his work on his MBA from Tulane University, and he and wife Michel started a family with the birth of son Rivers in October 2011. "As part of his advocacy in getting assistive technology in the hands of those suffering with ALS and related diseases, the U.S. Senate passed the Steve Gleason Act of 2015 in April, which if passed by the House and signed into law, would make speech generating devices, like the one Gleason uses to communicate to the world, available to patients through Medicare and Medicaid." |

On Tuesday, June 16, the LHC hosts a free screening of Slavery By Another Name, an acclaimed documentary directed by Sam Pollard. The event is co-hosted by Le Musee de F.P.C. and The McKenna Museum of African American Art. Scholar Jari Honore will introduce the film at 6pm.
The screening marks the LEH's fourth and final installment in the Created Equal series, an national film project of the National Endowment for the Humanities to commemorate the anniversaries of the Emancipation Proclamation and the March on Washington. The June 16 event at the Louisiana Humanities Center also honors the 150th anniversary of Juneteenth holiday, observed on June 19. Based on Blackmon's research, Slavery by Another Name spans eight decades, from 1865 to 1945, revealing the interlocking forces in both the South and the North that enabled this "neoslavery" to begin and persist. Using archival photographs and dramatic re-enactments filmed on location in Alabama and Georgia, it tells the forgotten stories of both victims and perpetrators of neoslavery and includes interviews with their descendants living today The event is free and open to the public. Doors open at 5:45pm. The LHC is located at 938 Lafayette Street in New Orleans. For more information, call 504.620.2630 |

Join us at the George and Joyce Wein Jazz & Heritage Center (1225 N. Rampart St.), at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, June 16. RSVP here. Arts In Education Community Forum Tuesday, June 16 6 p.m. - 8 p.m. 1225 N. Rampart Street, New Orleans (map) Free Admission - RSVP here http://www.eventbrite.com/e/any-given-child-public-meeting-on-arts-education-tickets-17311065864 The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation will host the second in a series of community forums to get feedback on the draft goals for a major initiative to restore meaningful arts education to every K-8 classroom in New Orleans. It's part of a years-long process in which New Orleans is developing a strategic plan for arts education in the school system. The planning is being done under the guidance of Ensuring the Arts for Any Given Child, a program of the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. Last year, the Jazz & Heritage Foundation partnered with the City of New Orleans, KID smART, the New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts (NOCCA) and Tulane's Cowen Institute for Public Education Initiatives to develop a plan for achieving a difficult task: to put arts back into the schools. We submitted an application to the Kennedy Center, and in September New Orleans was selected as Any Given Child's 16th city in which to develop a strategic plan and implement expanded arts instruction for every K-8 student. Since then, a large "community arts team" has met monthly with facilitators from the Kennedy Center to begin developing a strategic plan for arts in New Orleans schools. In February, we hosted our first community forum, at which we collected input from the public on various aspects of the iniative - including public awareness, policy and government, curriculum, budget and more. On Tuesday, we will present a draft of the long-term goals of the initiative. You can read the draft here. This is an opportunity for the public to weigh in on this very important project. Admission to this event is free. Please RSVP here.

A/V Conference Room, East Bank Regional Library, Metairie Psychologically astute and wonderfully poetic, Sanctuary is a powerful novel examining the nature of true evil, through the prisms of mythology, local lore, and hard-boiled detective fiction.

Animal Welfare Event! "Kitten Workshop" Offered at East Bank Regional Library METAIRIE, LA - The Jefferson Parish Animal Shelter, the SpayMart Kitten Foster Program, and local veterinarian Amanda Perkins will present a "Kitten Workshop" at 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 18, at the East Bank Regional Library, 4747 West Napoleon, Metairie. The presentation is free of charge and open to the public. There is no registration.
The purpose of the workshop is to educate people about kitten bottle feeding and foster class. Participants will learn the basics of bottle feeding and caring for young kittens. The class is needed because there are many feral cats in the region that are not neutered or spayed. At present, the Jefferson Parish Animal Shelter is at its capacity.
During the seminar, participants will learn the following:
- Should I take in an abandoned kitten? Be certain kittens are truly abandoned because mothers may still be around. If the kittens are clean, plump and sleeping quietly in a heap, it is possible they have an attentive mom who is not around at the time.
- Warmth and first aid - Kittens under three weeks of age cannot control their body temperatures. If a rescued kitten feels cold, warm it immediately but gently. Place it on a heating pad wrapped in towels and on the lowest setting.
- Feeding - Unfortunately, cow's milk is not nutritious enough for kittens. They will slowly starve to death and have diarrhea which is extremely dangerous for young kittens. Pet nursing kits and kitten formula are available at pet stores.
- Stimulation and litter box training - When kittens are about four weeks old, they are usually ready to experience litterboxes. After each meal, the kitten should be placed in the box.
- Cleaning and flea control - If kittens of any age have fleas, they should be treated as soon as possible. Young kittens can get anemia from flea infestation which can endanger their lives. Other skin irritations to check for are ringworm and mange.
- Weight gain - Kittens should gain about one-half ounce every day or four ounces per week. They can be weighed on a postal scale.
- Weaning - Weaning usually occurs at about four to five weeks, but some kittens take a bit longer, especially without a momcat to show them how to eat solid food.
- Development milestones - Kitten eyes are blue until they are about six to seven weeks old, but the true color will not settle until the kitten is about three month old. About three weeks, kittens start to stand up. At three and one-half weeks, kittens begin to crawl. At four weeks, they start to play with each other and develop teeth. Other milestones will be discussed.
A portion of the program will be spent on the protocol for feeding incoming babies and the procedures of the Kitten Foster Care Program.
For more information regarding this presentation, contact Chris Smith, Adult Programming Manager for the library, at 504-889-8143 or [email protected].

Chanterelle and Shitake Mushroom Crostini
(24 pieces)
Ingredients:
- 4 tbs butter
- 2 tbs olive oil or canola oil
- 2 shallots, minced
- 2 cups chanterelle mushrooms, small dice
- 2 cups shitake mushrooms, small dice
- 1 tbs fresh thyme leaves, slightly minced
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup Castello, Gruyere Cheese or other favourite blue cheese, grated
- 24 crostini (baguette sliced 1 cm thick and toasted lightly both sides)
Preparation:
- In a large skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil. Add the shallots and sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes on medium. Add the mushrooms and turn the heat to high. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes and stir frequently until they are golden brown. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper until desired taste is achieved. Add the fresh thyme and stir. Set aside.
- Prepare the crostini by adding about a tablespoon of the mushroom mixture onto each one. Place onto a cookie sheet and top with about a small pinch of the grated blue cheese. Place under the broiler until the cheese is bubbly. Remove and place onto your favorite platter and serve.

Tasting Notes
With tempting aromas of dark cherry, blackberry and spice, Zin-phomaniac is a complex, full-bodied wine with juicy, approachable flavors of ripe blue-purple fruit and dark semi-sweet chocolate. A kiss of vanilla and a touch of brown baking spice add depth to the long, satisfying mouthfeel.

ROUND TABLE LUNCHEON TO CELEBRATE 10TH ANNIVERSARY
The monthly Round Table Luncheon, hosted by Social Columnist and bon vivant Margarita "Dahling" Bergen, will be celebrating its 10-year anniversary on Wednesday, June 17 at Antoine's restaurant, 713 St. Louis Street in the heart of the historic French Quarter.
The event will start at 12 noon; doors open at 11:30 a.m.
The luncheons are styled after those of Dorothy Parker's Round Table Luncheons which were held at New York's Algonquin Hotel between 1919 and 1929. The first New Orleans Round Table Luncheon was held on August 18, 2005 at the Royal Sonesta Hotel, just ten days before Hurricane Katrina made landfall. The event was put on hiatus for several months but they resumed in the spring of 2006 and have been held every month since then.
Over the years, the luncheon has featured leading cultural/artist figures, business and community leaders and other prominent individuals discussing a variety of topics that have impacted the Crescent City. During those years, the luncheon has helped shape the direction of New Orleans during a period of rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina.
The commemorative luncheon being held at Antoine's on June 17 will feature the first guest at the first luncheon: nationally award-winning writer, storyteller, speaker and humorist, Verna Gates. And in the spirit of Dorothy Parker, talented "Wit and Wrath" star "Miss Claudia" Baumgarten will be channeling Ms. Parker with some of the great American writer's most famous anecdotes and humorous observations on life.
Live entertainment will be provided by pianist Jim Walpole.
Guests will be greeted by a glass of champagne to go along with the menu of a Summer Salad (mixed greens, pecans, cranberries in a pepper jelly vinaigrette) or Alligator Soup, and an entrée choice of either Shrimp Creole over rice or Demi-Chicken Rochambeau. Dessert will be Antoine's famous Baked Alaska with Chocolate Sauce
For this special 10th anniversary occasion, Antoine's is offering the one-time-only discounted price of $39.99 per person, inclusive of tax and gratuities.
For reservations call 504-495-9181 - The price will go up to $45 after June 15.

The event will start at 12 noon; doors open at 11:30 a.m. The luncheons are styled after those of Dorothy Parker's Round Table Luncheons which were held at New York's Algonquin Hotel between 1919 and 1929. The first New Orleans Round Table Luncheon was held on August 18, 2005 at the Royal Sonesta Hotel, just ten days before Hurricane Katrina made landfall. The event was put on hiatus for several months but it resumed in the spring of 2006 and has been held every month since then. Over the years, the luncheon has featured leading cultural/artist figures, business and community leaders and other prominent individuals discussing a variety of topics that have impacted the Crescent City. During those years, the luncheon has helped shape the direction of New Orleans during a period of rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina. The commemorative luncheon being held at Antoine's on June 17 will feature the first guest at the first luncheon: nationally award-winning writer, storyteller, speaker and humorist, Verna Gates. And in the spirit of Dorothy Parker, talented "Wit and Wrath" star "Miss Claudia" Baumgarten will be channeling Ms. Parker with some of the great American writer's most famous anecdotes and humorous observations on life. Live entertainment will be provided by pianist Jim Walpole. Guests will be greeted by a glass of champagne to go along with the menu of a Summer Salad (mixed greens, pecans, cranberries in a pepper jelly vinaigrette) or Alligator Soup, and an entrée choice of either Shrimp Creole over rice or Demi-Chicken Rochambeau. Dessert will be Antoine's famous Baked Alaska with Chocolate Sauce For this special 10th anniversary occasion, Antoine's is offering the one-time-only discounted price of $39.99 per person, inclusive of tax and gratuities. For reservations call 504-495-9181 - The price will go up to $45 after June 15.

Cymbeline this week
June 18
Shakespeare's epic fairytale kicks off the 2015 Festival
The Festival will open the 2015 season with the first production of Cymbeline in its history! Though less familiar to audiences than many of the Bard's plays, this epic romance offers a poignant love story, a wicked stepmother, a princess in mortal danger and an adventure into a wild forest filled with both friends and foes. You don't want to miss this fantastical tale. Recent productions from coast to coast are drawing rave reviews.
To spearhead this production, the Festival has recruited internationally known director Rob Clare. First an actor with the Royal Shakespeare Company, then a Staff Director at the U.K.'s National Theatre, Mr. Clare holds a doctorate from Oxford University, where he also taught. He has directed, performed with and coached some of the most respected classical actors of our time.

Louisiana SPCA urges you to prepare for hurricane season
Follow Our Lead and protect your pets with these helpful tips
NEW ORLEANS - As today marks the official start of the 2015 hurricane season and soon to be the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, the Louisiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals urges pet-owners to create an advance evacuation plan that includes their pets. Pets are members of the family and should be included in all disaster preparations.
For households with pets, it is pertinent to include your animals in your evacuation plans and to prepare for the worst-case scenario. Do not, under any circumstances, leave your pet behind. Leaving your pet tied up outside to a tree or fence is not an option. Leaving your pet indoors is risky due to floods from tidal surges which could trap your animal in a house filling up quickly with water.
Just like other members of your household, emergency planning for your pets requires supplies and advance preparation. The supplies you gather should be able to provide for your pet for at least three days. For the safety of your pets and for your own peace of mind, the Louisiana SPCA advises the following procedures for hurricane season.
Before hurricane season:
- Current vaccinations - Make sure your pet's vaccinations are current. Make copies of your records to take with you and put them in an air-tight container. All boarding facilities and veterinarian offices require proof of immunization before accepting animals.
- Identification - Update your pet's ID tags if needed. Talk to your veterinarian about permanent identification such as microchipping and enrolling your pet in a recovery database. This simple step could be your pet's round-trip ticket home in the event they get lost.
- Compile a list of places to go - Consider staying with family or friends who reside outside of the affected area and are comfortable with pets, or look into pet-friendly hotels, shelters or boarding facilities outside of the hurricane strike zone. Please note that the Louisiana SPCA does not board animals.
What your pet needs for an evacuation:
- Food and water - Keep food in an airtight, waterproof container. Water should be in addition to the water you need for yourself and family.
- Medicine and medical records - Keep an extra supply of medicines your pet takes on a regular basis in a waterproof container. All boarding facilities and veterinarian offices require proof of immunization before accepting animals.
- Collar with ID tags, harness or leash - Your pet should wear a collar with an up-to-date rabies tag and ID tag at all times. Include a backup leash, collar and ID tag.
- Crate or other pet carrier - Get a portable, secure and covered pet carrier in advance. The carrier should be large enough so your pet can completely turn around and lie down. Mark your name, address, phone number and alternate contact information on the carrier.
- Sanitation - Include pet litter, small litter box, newspaper, towels, plastic trash bags and household chlorine bleach. Do not use scented or color safe bleaches or those with added cleaners. Use 16 drops of regular bleach per gallon of water.
New Orleans residents who will need assistance to evacuate are urged to register with the City to participate in the City Assisted Evacuation Plan (CAEP). This plan includes both residents and their pets. Orleans Parish residents can register by calling 311. When a mandatory evacuation is called, pickup points throughout the City will be announced where you can board buses that will take you to the evacuation departure points.
"Almost 10 years ago the Louisiana SPCA, along with partners from across the country, created the largest animal rescue effort our nation has ever seen," says Louisiana SPCA CEO Ana Zorrilla. "Nearly 44 percent of people who stayed behind during Hurricane Katrina did so because they refused to leave their pets behind. Now, with the City Assisted Evacuation Plan, our community has a safe place for their pets to go."

New Orleans to host Major League Gaming finals
New Orleans has finally snagged another Superbowl ... for video gamers, at least.
Major League Gaming has announced that the city will be the home of the MLG World Finals, which will take place Oct. 16 to 18 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.
It's the championship for the longest-running eSports league in the world. Participants will be competing for more than $500,000 during the 3-day event.
It's also been a coveted event for the city. For eight months, Greater New Orleans, Inc. worked with the New Orleans Convention and Visitors Bureau, the convention center and the New Orleans Business Alliance to land the MLG World Finals.
Melissa Ehlinger, interim CEO of the New Orleans Business Alliance, said the "decision affirms the strength of the New Orleans digital media landscape and signals the growing reputation the city enjoys as a gaming hub."
The championship will be hosted Oct. 18 in the convention center's theater. For more information and to purchase tickets visitwww.majorleaguegaming.com/finals.
