The Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana's Oyster Shell Recycling Program got a dozen of the city's restaurants to separate oyster shells they would normally discard and instead put them in recycling bins. The bins have been picked up five days a week, at no cost to the restaurants, and the shells shipped to a curing site in Buras. So far, about 800 tons of shells are sitting in Buras awaiting final engineering and design on a project to build an oyster reef along a shoreline of Lake Athanasio in St. Bernard Parish, said Hilary Collis, the coalition's restoration program director. The reef-building project is being done in cooperation with the Nature Conservancy. The conservancy has its own existing reef projects in the area, but they use different techniques. One uses stacks of concrete blocks, while another employs metal cages filled with oyster shells. Both methods are meant to provide a solid place for young oysters to attach and help protect the marsh shoreline behind it, said Seth Blitch, coastal program director for the Nature Conservancy |

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."

or call 1-800-BE-READY. For more information about planning for an evacuation with your pet, visit www.la-spca.org/evacuation

2015 Kids Camp Update Camp Starts June 8 A Few Spots Still Available We'll be hosting Kids Camp for five weeks from June 1 through July 10. Kids can register for more than one week at a time. This year, we're charging a fee of $75 per camper, or $60 for members-which includes lunch. We can accept 25 campers per week. It's going to be fun-check out this video link! There are a few spaces open most weeks, but we are almost full and ready to get started! Summer Kids Culinary Camp 2015
WHAT: Kids Culinary Camp is a half-day summer camp that gets kids in the kitchen to learn to cook in a way that's hands-on and fun. Each day there's a new recipe and campers work together measuring, chopping, and stirring to create a delicious and healthy lunch to enjoy with each other. They'll also be staying active and improving their nutritional literacy through games and arts and crafts projects.
WHO: Kids Camp is for children rising into grades 2nd through 5th and/or up to 12 years old.
WHERE: Kids Camp is held at the Southern Food and Beverage Museum at 1504 Oretha C. Haley Boulevard.
WHEN: Camp runs from 9 AM to 12 PM every weekday for five weeks. This year's Kids Camp will be held the weeks of: June 8 - June 12 June 15 - June 19 June 22 - June 26 July 6 - July 10
COST: Each week of camp will be $75 per camper, and $60 per camper for SoFAB Members. To cover rising food, utility, and staffing costs, we had to make this change so that the camp can continue as a place for kids to learn, and grow in confidence in the kitchen.
HOW TO REGISTER: Registration will open here, on this page, . Please click on the first date of the week you are interested in to see tickets. We have a discounted price for SoFAB Members. If you are not a SoFAB Member and you purchase the member ticket, you may lose your spot as we verify. If you think you are a member but are unsure, please contact Kelsey Parris ([email protected] or 504-267-7490). If you have any issues with registering, please call us at 504-267-7490.
Once you have completed the registration, you will receive an email from Artful.ly confirming your order. In the next few days, you will also receive an email from Jennie Merrill, our camp director, with your camp information packet.

3:00-4:30p Plenary Session - Roberta Lamb
TRAVELLING FROM A FOURTH SOCIOLOGY: PATHWAYS OF INTEGRATION? Ruth Wright proposed a fourth sociology of integration at the ISSME 2013 in Norway. Her paper (along with others from that session) was published in ACT 13:1 as "The Fourth Sociology and Music Education: Towards a Sociology of Integration". She suggests an "initial model of discourse production by students, speaking to important issues of democracy and inclusion in music education". Beginning with Wright's idea of a sociology of integration and the ISSME 2013 published papers, I examine the pathways (Finnegan, 2007) presented in 2013 and those suggested by the titles and abstracts of ISSME 2015. What do these pathways suggest for our practices of sociological research in music education?

Saturday June 13th is all about surviving, thriving and just having fun! Start the morning off by getting to know 'The Girls' at an educational breakfast presented by Dr. Veronica Gillispie, OB/GYN with Ochsner Baptist. Immediately following, things begin to heat up with a Bloody Mary Mixer presented by Crystal Hot Sauce. Here's the perfect opportunity to network with your fellow FestiGals.
The signature philanthropic component Bodacious Bras for a Cause Luncheon & Auction, presented by Paris Parker Salons and Spas, features a keynote speech by Christine Clifford of The Cancer Club whose sassy, down-to-earth humor relays a powerful message of discovery and strength. Watch as cancer survivors work it on the catwalk with fashions by Stein Mart. During this highly charged celebration, FestiGals exclusive bra-Art collection will be showcased in a live auction format with 100 percent of proceeds benefitting the Cancer Association of Greater New Orleans and the Breastoration fund.
Later that evening, 'strut your stuff" in a New Orleans style second-line parade down Canal Street. Women will take a walk on the wild side and embrace their inner divas during the highly anticipated Stiletto Sprint & Stroll. As the sun goes down, the lights go up at the After-Glow Party in Masquerade presented by Harrah's Casino.

Jefferson Parish To Host Open House Of New Performing Arts Center
By 4-29-15
METAIRIE, LA - On Friday, June 19, 2015, Jefferson Parish will host a free Open House to welcome the public into the new Jefferson Performing Arts Center. An official ribbon cutting ceremony will be held at 2:30 p.m. Visitors can then enjoy a sneak peek inside the new state-of-the-art theater facility with guided tours, provided free of charge, every half hour from 3:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. The Jefferson Performing Arts Center is located at 6400 Airline Highway in Metairie between LaSalle Park and Zephyr Field. The 1,000-seat theater features an 89-foot wide stage area equipped with an operable orchestra lift that can be raised and lowered by a motor-driven system, and an innovative acoustic design. The Jefferson Performing Arts Society, Artist in Residence at JPAC, as well as operator and manager SMG, will be on-hand to welcome visitors into the new home for the cultural arts in Jefferson Parish. According to Chad Calder with The New Orleans Advocate the JPAC took more than a decade and a half to build and was plagued by a series of issues that more than doubled its original price tag. Calder reports the construction alone ended up costing the state and parish $54.5 million. On Saturday June 20, SMG and the Jefferson Performing Arts Society will join Jefferson Parish in presenting a "Gala Opening."
