PATRIOT DAY | SEPTEMBER 11
Patriot Day on September 11th honors the memory of the nearly 3,000 innocent victims who died in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Each year Americans dedicate this day to remembering those who died and the first responders who risked their own lives to save others.
We Remember
For many, September 11, 2001, began like any other weekday. We made our way to work. Children attended school. We shopped, had coffee, waited in line at a drive-thru. Those of us who weren’t in New York City heard the first reports on the radio or television. A friend or neighbor alerted us to a plane flying into one of the Twin Towers. We felt disbelief. An accident, perhaps, a miscalculation. Then, a second plane flew into the second tower. Our disbelief turned into uncertainty and concern.
Those on the ground faced terror and obstacles they had never known. But, then, as a set of coordinated suicide attacks organized by the militant group Al Qaeda targeted the World Trade Center, the rest of the nation witnessed the unbelievable. And then a third plane crashed into The Pentagon. And yet another crashed into a field in Shanksville, PA.
Memorial
Every year since that fateful day, the United States comes together to remember the fallen. We remember the first responders and those who made difficult decisions. Since that day, memorials have risen from the ashes.

Cantrell expected to nominate Anne Kirkpatrick, ex-Oakland, California chief, to helm NOPD

Mayor LaToya Cantrell appears set to name Anne Kirkpatrick, who most recently helmed the Oakland, California police department, as her nominee for permanent police chief in New Orleans, culminating a 6-month search, according to a source familiar with the search process.
Kirkpatrick, who was previously police chief in Spokane, Washington, would go before the City Council for confirmation, under a law city voters backed last fall as the mayor faced a recall threat.
Cantrell's impending nomination of Kirkpatrick comes after a secretive search process led by the International Association of Chiefs of Police.
It marks a blow to interim Superintendent Michelle Woodfork, who spent the past nine months trying out for the job while serving interim chief, since former NOPD Superintendent Shaun Ferguson retired last December.
Kirkpatrick beat out Woodfork and a third finalist who at first withdrew but was called back to interview. A fourth took another chief's job.
Kirkpatrick served a three-year stint as police chief in Oakland, ending in February 2020. She was the first woman hired as chief in Oakland.
She came in after a series of short-tenured chiefs but clashed with a police civilian oversight board that voted to fire her. A jury later found she was wrongly terminated, and the city agreed to pay her $1.5 million.
Kirkpatrick previously worked as a police bureau chief in Chicago, and as an undersheriff in King County, Washington. She was police chief in Spokane for six years up to 2012.
City Council member Oliver Thomas, who served on one of two committees that evaluated candidates for the chief's job, said Monday that he had not heard Kirkpatrick was the choice. He said he thought Woodfork had earned the job during her nine-month tryout, which has seen rates of violent crime fall somewhat.
Thomas added that he believes Woodfork, whose uncle was NOPD chief, enjoys strong support among New Orleanians, particularly in the Black community.
"She has produced the results," Thomas said. "If there’s a glaring reason she should not be chief, they need to let it be known. Because I’m not seeing what it is."

For the better part of three hours, an attacking, opportunistic New Orleans Saints defense was the only thing worth watching in the Superdome during Sunday’s season opener against the Tennessee Titans.
They mauled the Titans offensive line, choking the rushing lanes for superstar running back Derrick Henry. They battered quarterback Ryan Tannehill, sacking him three times and hitting him 10 times. When Tannehill did get the ball away, the sticky-fingered Saints secondary picked him off three times.
It was a dominating effort. But for all the good they did defensively, the Saints looked poised to spoil their own defensive effort with a lackluster showing on offense — until they finally broke through late in the third quarter of a 16-15 Week 1 win.

Saffron, often referred to as "red gold," is undeniably the most expensive spice in the world. Derived from the vibrant red stigmas of the Crocus sativus flower, saffron possesses a rich history spanning thousands of years and is highly prized for its distinct flavor, captivating aroma, and vibrant golden color.
The painstaking process of harvesting saffron contributes to its exorbitant price. Each flower contains only three delicate crimson stigmas, which must be handpicked with meticulous care and precision. It takes an astonishing 75,000 to 200,000 flowers to produce just one pound of saffron, making it an incredibly labor-intensive and time-consuming task.
The cultivation of saffron is predominantly concentrated in a few regions across the globe, including Iran, Spain, and Kashmir, where the ideal climate and soil conditions allow for its growth. The scarcity of suitable cultivation areas further adds to its exclusivity and elevates its value.
Saffron's unique flavor profile is another factor that contributes to its astronomical price. It imparts a subtly sweet and floral taste with hints of honey and hay, which adds a distinct and luxurious touch to a wide array of dishes. Whether used in savory dishes like paella, risotto, or bouillabaisse, or in sweet delicacies like ice cream, pastries, or tea, saffron adds an unparalleled depth and complexity that cannot be replicated by any other spice.
Moreover, saffron is known for its numerous health benefits. It is packed with antioxidants and compounds that have been linked to improved mood, reduced appetite, and potential anti-cancer properties. These health benefits, combined with its unique flavor and vibrant color, make saffron highly sought after by culinary enthusiasts, health-conscious individuals, and chefs worldwide.
Due to its rarity, labor-intensive cultivation process, and exceptional flavor profile, saffron commands an exceptionally high price in the global spice market. Its value per ounce can easily surpass the price of gold, making it a truly luxurious and indulgent spice that is reserved for special occasions or as a symbol of prestige and opulence.

What does "ubiquity" mean?
Obscure
Common
Rare
Wealth
What does "ubiquity" mean?
Common
ubiquity pronunciation: yoo-bik-wi-tee
Definition: the state or quality of being everywhere or omnipresent
Origin: from the Latin word ubiquitas, meaning "everywhere"
Example: The ubiquity of smartphones has changed the way people communicate and access information.
"Common" is a suitable answer to the question of what "ubiquity" means because they both refer to something that is widespread or found everywhere. Common can refer to something that is ordinary or shared by many people, while ubiquity specifically refers to the quality of being present everywhere. Both words imply a sense of familiarity and prevalence, and are often used to describe things that are easily recognizable or experienced by a large number of people.

NATIONAL HOT CROSS BUN DAY | SEPTEMBER 11
National Hot Cross Bun Day on September 11th encourages us to rise and shine to this tasty treat!
Currants or raisins baked into the bun add a sweet flavor. As noted in the name of this baked good, it’s marked with a cross. To make the cross, bakers use a doughy paste baked into the bread. Sometimes, icing is used to make the cross instead.
Hot cross buns are traditionally eaten at the end of Lent in many historically Christian countries. Lent begins the evening before Ash Wednesday through Good Friday, and the cross is a symbol of the Crucifixion. Beyond its significance as a traditional treat, this spiced sweet bun offers some folklore and history, too.
Hot Cross Bun Superstitions
- Unspoiled – Buns baked and served on Good Friday will not spoil or mold during the subsequent year. (English folklore)
- Medicinal uses – A piece of it given to someone ill will help them recover. (English folklore)
- Friendship – Sharing a hot cross bun with another ensures friendship throughout the coming year. This is supposed to be especially true if “Half for you and half for me, Between us two, shall goodwill be” is said at the time.
- A kiss – Some people believe because there is a cross on the bun, they should kiss the buns before eating them.
- A sailor’s hope – When taking a sea voyage, a hot cross bun will protect you during a sea voyage.
- Home protection – One tradition says a hot cross bun hung in the kitchen protects against fires. It also ensures all bread turns out perfectly. (Replace the hanging bun each year.)

Ain't There No More New Orleans
Derby Gisclair
1922: THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR
The city of New Orleans went all out to welcome the 15,000 attendees at the 35th Triennial Conclave of the Knights Templar to the extent that they constructed a 52-foot high welcome arch on Canal Street, pictured below in a nighttime photograph. The arch cost $11,000 to build and install. The streetcars were able to pass underneath the arch.
The first conclave held in New Orleans took place in 1874 and the organizers wanted this event to be memorable. For months in advance, the chapters, lodges, and commanderies of Masonic groups across the south raised more than $101,000 (about $1.7 million today). Between April 24 and April 27, 1922, the group held a grand march along St. Charles Avenue to Canal Street for which the city’s school children were allowed to miss a day of classes to attend the marching Templars in full regalia.
For the attendees and their families there were excursions of the steamer Capitol which made six trips up and down the Mississippi River packed with 2,000 visitors for each trip. There were demonstrations of close-order military drill held at Heinemann Park, the city’s baseball stadium, also shown . In addition, there were numerous banquets and balls held across the city to fete the Knights Templar and their guests.

Harbor Cruise on the J.S.
In 1910, the 36th Imperial Council Session of the Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, also known as the Shriners, was held in New Orleans between April 10 and April 15. For weeks in advance, preparations were made to greet and entertain the attendees during their stay. Buildings across the city were illuminated with Shrine emblems. One of the most popular signs that graced nearly every hotel, commercial building, balcony, and street post read “Glad-U-Kum” in bold colors of red, green, and yellow.
Delegates from the 121 North American temples converged on New Orleans in record numbers. It was estimated that as many as 25,000 fez-wearing members along with 10,000 wives were in attendance. One of the daytime activities offered to the Shriners was a riverboat cruise on the Mississippi. The steamboat below bears a banner sign on the bow deck rail that reads “Glad-U-Kum” for the $0.50 fare to tour the scenic New Orleans harbor.
By contrast, the National Shoe Retailers convention that was held in the city during the same time might have felt like red-headed stepchildren but reported that their members thoroughly enjoyed their time in the city as much as the Shriners.

About the Exhibition
In 1776, many colonists made a great leap to a new idea: maybe they could do without monarchy and aristocracy. If they could unite with one another, “the common people” of the colonies might form a more equal society and government. American Democracy: A Great Leap of Faith, a traveling exhibition from the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, examines the continuing evolution of America’s experiment in a government “of, by, and for the people.” The exhibition will be on view at The Historic New Orleans Collection from June 17, 2023, to October 8, 2023. Admission is free.
Drawn from the permanent exhibition of the same name at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, American Democracy explores the challenges and triumphs that generations of Americans encountered as they sought to create a government based on the sovereignty of the people. It explores the history of citizen participation, debate, and compromise from the nation’s formation to today.
Featuring engaging multimedia experiences, immersive design, and artifacts from the Smithsonian Institution, state historical organizations, and The Historic New Orleans Collection, American Democracy demonstrates that self-government relies on every citizen’s active participation in the quest to form a “more perfect union.” Exhibition sections explore the origins of American democracy, the changing identity of eligible voters, the machinery of democracy, the right to petition and protest beyond the ballot, and the rights and responsibilities of citizens.
American Democracy is sponsored locally by the 2023 Bienville Circle, J.P.Morgan Private Bank, and WDSU-TV.
A companion exhibition, “Yet She Is Advancing”: New Orleans Women and the Right to Vote, 1878–1970, is on view through November 5, 2023. Expanding on a 2020 virtual exhibition on THNOC’s website, the exhibition tells a decades-long story through objects, images, documents, and interactive displays—and through the words of the New Orleans women who for nearly 100 years persisted in their struggle to obtain the vote

It’s Fettuccine Frenzy at Middendorf’s Manchac & Middendorf’s Slidell! Every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in September, handmade paper-thin fettuccine is on the menu.
This mouth-watering dish is served with your choice of classic Alfredo or Marinara Sauce and topped with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese with optional add-ons of shrimp, crabmeat and chicken.
- Fettuccine with Alfredo Sauce topped with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese 15.25
- Fettuccine with Marinara Sauce topped with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese 15.25
- Optional add-ons:
- Shrimp 10.95
- Crabmeat 9.95
- Chicken 6.95
- Side of Fettuccine topped with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese 9.50
Fun Facts:
- Our handmade, paper-thin fettuccine was a guest favorite at Bella Luna in the French Quarter. Bella Luna was a fine dining restaurant owned and operated by Horst and Karen Pfeifer. It closed due to Hurricane Katrina and never reopened. The memory of Bella Luna lives on through Fettuccine Frenzy at Middendorf’s. Same Pasta. Same Taste. None of the Fancy.
- Middendorf’s Owner and European Master Chef Horst Pfeifer makes the fettuccine from scratch which consists solely of Semolina flour and eggs. It’s a very time consuming process to make the fettuccine so paper-thin, but it’s definitely worth it.
- Fettuccine is available all day (lunch and dinner).
- Our full menu is also available.
- Uncooked fettuccine is also available for purchase to make a quick meal at home.
We hope you can join us for Fettuccine Frenzy — Every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in September!

A Musical by Max Vernon
Take a step back in time to the French Quarter in 1973 as the patrons of The UpStairs Lounge help a modern-day millennial reevaluate his concepts of love and freedom.
Wes, a 20-something social media obsessed fashion designer has returned from New York to his hometown of New Orleans to transform the former Upstairs Lounge nightclub into a retail store. After a nerve-wracking visit with his realtor, he time travels through a burned-out curtain into the 1973 arson-destroyed club. There, he meets the men who inhabited this “underground” venue decades ago. Despite the many limitations and challenges of the lounge patrons’ lives--and the horrifically tragic crime that ends them—their lifestyle ultimately proves to be more honest, authentic, and joyful than his superficial online social life. Will Wes take these lessons back to the future with him?
This production contains adult language, sexual content, and violence.

Location:
Lower Depths Theatre
The Tennessee Williams Theatre Company of New Orleans ends its seventh season with Spring Storm by Tennessee Williams this September at The Lower Depths Theatre on the campus of Loyola University New Orleans, directed by Salvatore Mannino. Mannino recently directed Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time for Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre. He serves as artistic director of the Loyola University New Orleans Department of Theatre and Dance, where TWTC has a professional residency since 2019.
Spring Storm serves as an origin story for many of Williams’ signature tragic heroines. It was written from 1937-38 when the playwright was in college and during his travels to New Orleans and beyond. It never received a staging in his lifetime, but in its pages are planted the seeds for Amanda and Laura Wingfield of The Glass Menagerie and Blanche DuBois of A Streetcar Named Desire among other characters from his popular plays.
The story centers around Heavenly Critchfield, a small town woman torn between the choice of her longtime boyfriend and a desire to leave town to start a new life and the chance to become the wealthiest housewife in town for a mysterious old schoolmate just returned home. Both men are making moves that benefit themselves, and Heavenly realizes she has to choose based on someone she’s never been asked to consider: herself. All the while, her mother, caught in her family’s former glory, hopes she’ll make the choice to elevate their reputation. What Heavenly doesn’t realize is that danger and jealousy lurks around every crepe myrtle tree and azalea bush in this seemingly sweet town…and there will be deadly consequences to her decisions. Set against the backdrop of the post-Depression Mississippi Delta, the play is full of Southern Gothic Easter eggs for longtime Williams fans and is replete with small town gossip and drama for first-time Williams initiates.
An all local cast includes Nicole Miller as Heavenly (Rivertown’s Matilda), Matthew Raetz as Dick Miles (TSF’s Romeo & Juliet), Matthew Boese as Arthur Shannon (TWTC’s Sweet Bird of Youth) and. Charlie Carr as Hertha; and features Tracey E. Collins, Margeaux Fanning, Miles Hamauei, Delphine J, and Maile Zox.
The production team for the production includes Nick Shackleford, Diane Baas, Eric Porter, Grace Smith, Puck, Augustin J Correro, and Madeline Taliancich. This season of the Tennessee Williams theatre Company of New Orleans is supported by a grant from The New Orleans Theatre Association (NOTA) and The New Orleans Tourism & Cultural Fund (NOTCF).
“We are thrilled to end this season on this early Tennessee Williams treasure trove filled with his ideas for future masterpieces. It sets the stage for an exciting next season when audiences will see so many of these ideas explored. We can’t wait to share all of these amazing plays with our audiences, starting with Spring Storm,” says TWTC Founding Co-Artistic Director Nick Shackleford.

Tulane business forum to discuss Louisiana’s next-generation economy
Lance Traweek,
As businesses pursue new opportunities in Louisiana’s legacy industries, a panel of executives and experts will discuss the state’s emerging economy and what they’re doing now to position themselves for future success.
For the 44th annual Tulane Business Forum, topics will include energy, health care, real estate and gaming.
Titled “Winning Strategies: Louisiana’s Next Generation Economy,” the forum will take place on Friday, September 15, at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans.
Presented by the Tulane Association of Business Alumni (TABA), which represents more than 25,000 graduates of Tulane University’s A. B. Freeman School of Business, the forum is the association’s main event and one of the region’s largest annual conferences dedicated to local and national business topics.
“Louisiana’s economy has long been driven by industries like oil and gas, health care and hospitality, but now we’re seeing a shift, with visionary leaders embracing new technologies, approaches and business models,” Louis David, president of TABA, said in the news release. “The 44th annual Tulane Business Forum showcases some of these future-focused executives who are developing winning strategies for the future.”
“This year’s forum highlights many of the strategic themes we’re focusing on in our programs, including our newly redesigned MBA,” Paulo Goes, dean of the Freeman School and one of this year’s speakers, said in the news release. “Effectively managing the energy transition, assessing the financial impact of climate change, and understanding the metrics of key industries like real estate and health care — these are subjects that will play a growing role in business over the next decade and that every manager needs to be familiar with.”
Highlighting this year’s forum will be keynote presentations from two executives: Dan Real, chief experience officer at Caesars Digital and Caesars Entertainment Inc., who will outline the past, present and future of sports betting; and Gregory C. Feirn, CEO of LCMC Health, who will discuss the rapidly evolving health care business and his vision for LCMC.
The forum will also feature more than a dozen speakers addressing topics such as energy transition, real estate development, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), and changing state and federal tax regulations.
This year’s speakers include:
• Laura Beauchamp, Director of Resource Planning and Market Operations, Entergy
• Colette Hirstius, SVP of Deepwater Gulf of Mexico, Shell
• James Martin, CEO, Gulf Wind Technology
• Adrian A. D’Arcy, Founding Partner, D’Arcy Vicknair LLC
• Tara C. Hernandez, President & CEO, JCH Properties+
• Cullan Maumus, Managing Director, NORF Companies
• Daniela Mills, SVP, Practice Leader – General Property, Lockton Companies LLC
• Molly Crouch, Corporate Director of Sustainability North America, Sodexo
• Jarod Davis, Global Policy Director for Social Equity, Dow Inc.
• Alan Harrell, Partner, Phelps Dunbar LLP
• Richard J. Roth III, Founder and Managing Partner, Roth Law Firm LLC
• Peter A. Wilson, Jr., Partner, Roth Law Firm LLC
Panel moderators include:
• Lacy McManus, Executive Director, Future Energy, Greater New Orleans Inc.
• Andrew “AJ” Brooks, Lecturer & Director of Undergraduate Certificate Programs, A. B. Freeman School of Business
• Nene Glenn Gianfala, Vice President, Shareholder, Chaffe & Associates Inc.
Registration for the forum is available online or in person on the day of the event, and discounted registration is available for Tulane alumni.
The forum offers a variety of continuing education credits. Accountants can earn 5.0 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits, engineers can earn 5.0 Professional Development Hour (PDH) credits, and attorneys can earn 3.33 general Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credits.

THE DOOKY CHASE KITCHEN: LEAH’S LEGACY cooking series celebrates Leah Chase, the “Queen of Creole Cuisine.”
The 26-part cooking series, produced by WYES-TV in New Orleans, was shot on location at Dooky Chase’s Restaurant with dishes prepared by younger generations of the Chase family who have led the restaurant since Leah’s death in 2019.
Viewers will meet Leah’s grandson, Edgar “Dook” Chase IV, who now oversees the restaurant’s kitchen; her niece Cleo Robinson, who joined Leah in the kitchen in 1980; and the restaurant’s newest chef, Leah’s great-granddaughter Zoe Chase. Paired with some of the menus are specialty cocktails crafted by Leah’s granddaughter Eve Marie Haydel, the restaurant’s beverage manager who has updated drink recipes from the restaurant’s earlier days. Granddaughter Chase Kamata narrates. Each 30-minute episode explores a new take on Creole classics and a different chapter of the restaurant’s history.
See it every Saturday at 10am and on Sundays at 11:30am. Watch on WYES-TV and stream on wyes.org/live and on the WYES and PBS Apps. Out of WYES’ viewing area?

About this event
Spend some time in one of the French Quarter’s most beautiful spaces—the salon at Historic BK House. Visit the past through the images and experiences of designers and curators whose work today is informed by historic interiors and decorative arts. New Orleans homes in the 19th century were as fine as any in the county, and those once-fashionable interiors can speak to the present. With presentations on historic materials, decoration, and artistic depiction, guests will gain inspiration for designing their own beautiful spaces in this historic city.
Local interior designers Sweet Dupuy and Eugenie Gibbens will provide ideas and examples of ways to use historic decoration in contemporary design.
Decorative Arts Curator Lydia Blackmore of The Historic New Orleans Collection will share the rich patterns and textures of 19th century New Orleans wallpaper and upholstery shops.
Architectural Conservator and Professor Jane Ashburn will speak on how historic construction methods created the backdrop for 19th-century finishes and why modern methods of architectural conservation seek to preserve these ingenious systems.
Curator of Visual Arts at the Louisiana State Museum Cybele Gontar will give glimpses of past and present beautiful spaces in the Garden District.
Join us to be inspired by this legacy of design and to experience a beautiful space!
$60 for non-members ($50 for members). Breakfast, lunch, and reception included.

DETAILED SCHEDULE WITH SPEAKER BIOS
Presented by the makers of the annual Joan of Arc Parade
- 10:00 a.m. Salon Begins, Welcome Remarks
-
10:00 a.m. “Pilgrimage in the Way of Joan,” by Stephen Binz, Biblical scholar and tour guide. Stephen Binz, a biblical scholar and pilgrimage leader, will describe his recent travels to the sites in France associated with Joan of Arc. His travelogue will include his photography and descriptions of the places associated with the calling, courage, sanctity, virtues, and martyrdom of the Maid of Orleans. As a writer and organizer of journeys to sacred places, Stephen will explore the ways that pilgrimage enhances the travelers’ encounter with Saint Joan as she continues to inspire communities today. See his work at Bridge-B.com.
- 11:15 a.m. “Emmeline in Orléans: The Maid from New Orleans in Orleans, France,” by Emmeline Meyers (2023 “Maid of Honor” for New Orleans)
- 12:15-1:30 Lunch Break outside under the oaks with giant dragon puppet demonstration. Presenting “Adversaire,” Krewe de Jeanne d’Arc’s walking 12-foot tall parade dragon with a 16-foot wingspan!

Krewe board member Jaymie Wolfe will present information on the 9-year Novena to St. Joan of Arc that began at the end of 2022. The 600th anniversary of Joan’s death (1431) in 2031 inspired Catholic philosopher Thibaud Collins to call for an extended spiritual campaign for the renewal of faith in France.

- 4:00-5:00 p.m. “Joan of Art: The Journey of Creating Joan.” Local artists who have work on display in our 2023 Joan of Art show, as well as past exhibitions, will converse about what it’s like to make art inspired by Joan of Arc, what they learned by creating their work about her, and how her image has evolved over the years to reflect the time and place of artists portraying her.

September Writers’ Clinic:
The Elements of Fiction; Point of View
METAIRIE – Two local writers will make presentations for other writers on Saturday, Sept. 16 at the East Bank Regional Library, 4747 W. Napoleon, Metairie.
The sessions – for beginners or experienced writers – are free of charge and open to the public.
There is no registration.
9:30 a.m. - Christie Cognevich, PhD – Elements of Fiction
Christie Cognevich, PhD, a member of the staff of the Jefferson Parish Library, will discuss the main elements of fiction – setting, character, plot, conflict, and style.
She has an MFA in creative writing for children and young adults from the Vermont College of Fine Arts (2022). She is the author of the YA non-fiction books Depression: Insights and Tips for Teenagers (2020) and Dealing with Stress: Insights and Tips for Teenagers (2022), both published by Rowman & Littlefield. In addition to her non-fiction work on mental health, she writes YA fiction, picture books, and poetry.
Cognevich holds a doctoral degree in English literature from Louisiana State University, and she taught English literature and writing for more than a decade. Her scholarly specialties include Romantic and Victorian poetry. Her doctoral thesis focused on the late-eighteenth-century British sonnet revival and poet Charlotte Smith, who was one of William Wordsworth's early inspirations. In addition to Cognevich's published work in scholarly journals such as Essays in Romanticism, she has done extensive archival research and received fellowships to the Armstrong Browning Library at Baylor University to study its collection of Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett Browning papers and the Lilly Library at Indiana University to study its collection of Sylvia Plath papers.
11 a.m. - David Armand – Point of View
David Armand, assistant professor and writer-in-residence, Department of English, Southeastern Louisiana State University, Hammond, will discuss point of view, the “eye” or narrative voice through which a writer tells a story. When one writes a story, a decision must be made to determine who is telling the story, and to whom they are telling it.
Armand serves as associate editor for Louisiana Literature Press. In 2010, he won the George Garrett Fiction Prize for his first novel, The Pugilist's Wife, which was published by Texas Review Press. His second novel, Harlow, was published by Texas Review Press in 2013. David's third novel, The Gorge, was published on October 1, 2015, by Southeast Missouri State University Press, and his poetry chapbook, The Deep Woods, was published in September 2015 by Blue Horse Press. David's memoir, My Mother's House, was published in March 2016 by Texas Review Press. He is currently working on his sixth book, The Lord's Acre, as well as a second memoir and a collection of poetry.

Friends,
Please join me at 10 a.m. Monday, September 18, at St. Louis Cathedral to remember Dr. Alfred E. Lemmon, Director of the Williams Research Center, who died on August 26.
A eulogy will be followed by a Catholic mass, with additional remarks by members of the cultural community. The cathedral memorial will be presided over by Father Patrick J. Williams. To honor Alfred’s decades of scholarship and service to the New Orleans music community, there will be selections performed throughout the memorial by the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra String Quartet, OperaCreole, and Dr. Michael White, as well as cathedral musicians Sarah Jane McMahon and Jesse Reeks, organist. A musical prelude will begin approximately 30 minutes prior to the mass.
Immediately following the cathedral service, all are invited to celebrate Alfred’s rich life and profound work at a reception and program hosted by The Historic New Orleans Collection at the Williams Research Center, 410 Chartres Street.
Everybody at The Historic New Orleans Collection joins you in grief over Alfred’s passing. Join us on September 18 to share our love and respect for a friend and colleague.

Philip Melancon
Mancini’s music was the soundtrack of mid-century Hollywood. He contributed to over 250 movies and scores of T.V. shows. To name a few: Peter Gunn and The Pink Panther in the 50’s, Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Two for the Road in the 60’s, Darling Lili in the 70’, and Victor / Victoria in the 80’s. The focus of Mancini by Moonlight is the lyrical songs of Mancini. Although this giant of American music was recognized for his sweeping scores, here we feature his songs with lyrics. Moon River, Days of Wine and Roses, Charade, It Had Better Be Tonight and such. It’s a rich library of exceptional melodies coupled with the masterful lyrics of Johnny Mercer, Leslie Bricusse and Jay Livingston.
Mancini by Moonlight: the cabaret, will be performed by the seasoned duo of Heidi and Phil Melancon. Joined to their hips the ever so hip David Cook and Alden Hagardorn.
See you under the twinkling stars of Monkey Hill.

Final Four Rematch: LSU WBB To Face Virginia Tech in SEC/ACC Challenge
Story by Zack Nagy
© Provided by LSU Country on FanNation
LSU will host Virginia Tech in a Final Four rematch on November 30 at 8 p.m. CT as a part of the ACC/SEC Challenge.
The Tigers and Hokies met last season in the Final Four as LSU came from behind in the fourth quarter to clinch a spot in the national championship game. The Tigers trailed by nine to start the fourth quarter but outscored the Hokies by 16 in the final quarter to claim LSU’s first national championship game berth. LSU defeated Iowa two days later for the national championship.
LSU will enter the season with multiple players returning from the program’s first ever national championship team along with a talented list of newcomers that include the nation’s No. 1 rated recruiting class and the top two players from this year’s transfer portal.
Related video
Forward Angel Reese headlines LSU’s returners as the defending Most Outstanding Player from the Final Four. She set the NCAA record with 34 double-doubles throughout the season as a dominant scorer and rebounder. Reese led the SEC in both scoring (23.0 ppg) and rebounding (15.4 rpg).
Guard Flau’jae Johnson is another returning starter for the Tigers who earned SEC Freshman of the Year. In her first year of college basketball, Johnson averaged 11.0 points per game and 5.9 rebounds per game. Guard Kateri Poole started in LSU’s final five games throughout the championship run, bringing a defensive physicality to the court while having a knack to knock down big shots for the Tigers.
LSU will also bring back contributors like forward Sa’Myah Smith who was named to the SEC All-Freshman and guard Last-Tear Poa. Both Smith and Sa’Myah played critical and productive minutes off the bench in the national championship win over Iowa.
The Tigers top-rated incoming freshmen class is headlined by guard Mikaylah Williams who was named the 2023 Morgan Wooten National Player of the Year as the top high school player. Forward Aalyah Del Rosario, the nation’s No. 7 rated player, played in the McDonald’s All-American game with Williams and the Tigers also bring in freshmen guard Angelica Velez who was named Tennessee’s Division II-A Miss Basketball and guard Janae Kent.
LSU was active in the transfer portal, adding guard Hailey Van Lith and forward Aneesah Morrow who were ranked No. 1 and 2, respectively, in ESPN’s transfer portal rankings. Van Lith averaged 19.7 points, 4.5 assists and 3.2 rebounds last season, earning AP All-America honorable mention honors while leading Louisville to the Elite Eight. Van Lith and Iowa’s Caitlin Clark are the only two players in the country who averaged at least 19 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists throughout the year. Morrow was a lethal scorer (24.7 ppg) and rebounder (12.2 rpg) at DePaul. Her and Reese were the only two players in the country to rank inside the top 10 in the nation in both scoring and rebounding.
