Meet The Author
Presented by the Institute for the Study of War and Democracy with generous support from the Strake Foundation, Sandra Bolzenius will present her new book Glory in Their Spirit: How Four Black Women Took on the Army during World War II.
Before Rosa Parks and the March on Washington, four African American women risked their careers and freedom to defy the US Army over segregation. Women Army Corps (WAC) privates Mary Green, Anna Morrison, Johnnie Murphy, and Alice Young enlisted to serve their country, improve their lives, and claim the privileges of citizenship long denied them. Promised a chance at training and skilled positions, they saw white WACs assigned to those better jobs and found themselves relegated to work as orderlies. In 1945, their strike alongside 50 other WACs captured the nation's attention and ignited passionate debates on racism, women in the military, and patriotism.
Glory in Their Spirit presents the powerful story of their persistence and the public uproar that ensued. Newspapers chose sides. Civil rights activists coalesced to wield a new power. The military, meanwhile, found itself increasingly unable to justify its policies. In the end, Green, Morrison, Murphy, and Young chose court-martial over a return to menial duties. But their courage pushed the segregated military to the breaking point-and helped steer one of American's most powerful institutions onto a new road toward progress and justice.
About the author: Sandra M. Bolzenius is a former instructor at The Ohio State University and served as a transportation specialist in the US Army.
Presented by the Institute for the Study of War and Democracy with generous support from the Strake Foundation, this event is free and open to the public, but please register to attend.

METAIRIE, LA - Carol Langston, PhD, director of College Guidance at Metairie Park Country Day School, will discuss financial aid possibilities for college students at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 10, at the East Bank Regional Library, 4747 W. Napoleon, Metairie.
This presentation is free of charge and is open to the public. Registration is not required.
Dr. Langston will discuss the College Scholarship Service Profile, generally referred to as the CSS Profile, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid program, generally referred to as FAFSA, and Louisiana's Taylor Opportunity Program for Students, generally referred to as TOPS.
The CSS Profile is an application distributed by the College Board that allows college students to apply for financial aid. It is designed to give private member institutions of the College Board a closer look into the finances of a student and family. The information provided in the CSS Profile is sent to colleges or universities that the student specifies. This document is required at more than 300 U.S. colleges.
FAFSA is a form that can be prepared annually by current and prospective college students (undergraduate and graduate) to determine eligibility for student financial aid. In addition to demographic and financial information, applicants are asked to list as many as 10 schools to receive the results of the application once it is processed.
TOPS provides Louisiana high school graduates meeting specific eligibility requirements with a scholarship if they choose to attend a Louisiana public or private college or university. It has four award components. Students must apply for TOPS using the FAFSA.
The above forms must be completed and submitted before March in order for students to receive scholarships at most colleges in Louisiana and around the country.
Carol Langston, PhD, has more than 30 years of college counseling experience at Metairie Park Country Day School where she is the Director of College Guidance and she is also the owner of Langston Educational Consulting (
http://collegepronto.com). She has served as a College Board essay consultant, an AP Spanish reader, and has authored a chapter in a college counseling textbook that is used to certify counselors as college counselors.

St. Rose de Lima officially opened as the Rose Collaborative on Thursday at 2541 Bayou Road. The redevelopment is now home to Southern Rep Theatre, Fund 17, KID smart, New Orleans Arts Education Alliance, NewCorp Inc., the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, Brothers Empowered To Teach, Women With A Vision, the Unanimous Jury Coalition and others.
The former church was deconsecrated by the Archdiocese of New Orleans after the 2005 storm. A group of community leaders created the Rose Community Development Corporation five years later. Renovations began in July 2018 and have opened incrementally since this July.

Southern Rep Theatre now occupies the former church building, which has a theater seating 125 people, a stage accommodating 75 and an outdoor performance area. The Parish Hall offices have been turned into a 10,600-square-foot shared workspace at 2533 Columbus St. A community business incubator operated by Fund 17 anchors the space, with nonprofit groups and small businesses as tenants and additional workspaces available for lease.
The school building behind the church has been renovated into a new home for the Waldorf School of New Orleans, a nonprofit school founded in 2000 that integrates academics with the arts, culture and community for nursery schoolers through 8th graders.

Halloween-themed tours of THNOC's Louisiana History Galleries return
WHO: The Historic New Orleans Collection
WHAT: "Danse Macabre: The Nightmare of History," Halloween-themed tours of THNOC's Louisiana History Galleries
DATE: Tuesday-Sunday, Oct. 10-31, 2018
*Please note THNOC is closed on Mondays.
TIME: 11 a.m.
WHERE:The Historic New Orleans Collection, 533 Royal St., in the French Quarter
HOW: Admission is $5, free for THNOC members.
Memberships at The Historic New Orleans Collection begin at $35 per year.
WHY: The Historic New Orleans Collection will resurrect the special Halloween-themed tour of its Louisiana History Galleries Oct. 2-31. "Danse Macabre: The Nightmare of History" will be available Tuesday-Sunday at 11 a.m. inside THNOC's flagship building at 533 Royal St.
In medieval allegory, "la danse macabre," or the dance of death, is a ritualized march to the grave-a sober reminder of life's finality cloaked in wicked mirth. In a similar spirit, THNOC's "Danse Macabre: The Nightmare of History" will lead visitors through darker aspects of New Orleans lore.
From the unwholesome subject of executions in French Louisiana to the gritty logistics of cemetery relocation, the tour is a toast to the authentically spooky-a veritable dance to the grave. Mosquitos, serial killers, colonialism and unlawful assembly are just some of the topics likely to produce a bedlam of fright, insights and delights.
Tours will be available at 11 a.m. Tuesday-Sunday, Oct. 2-31. Admission is $5 or free for THNOC members. Please note: this is not a walking tour of New Orleans or the French Quarter, and the tours are not intended for children under the age of 13. Please note THNOC is closed on Mondays.

Bill Loehfelm, Let the Devil Out and the Maureen Coughlin series
It's Mardi Gras in New Orleans and rookie cop Maureen Coughlin has no idea what she's in for. Her night working the parades begins calmly-until a half-naked man careens through the crowd and throws himself onto the hood of an oncoming SUV. As she tries to deal with the incident, Maureen hears gunshots. Moments later, with three wounded and a handful of drunken witnesses, Maureen has a full-fledged investigation on her hands. Who was the shooter? Who was he after? Who's the next target? City bigwigs begin pressuring Maureen and her crew for quick answers.
Bill Loehfelm is the author of the critically-acclaimed Devil series about New Orleans Police Department rookie Maureen Coughlin, featuring the novels, Let the Devil Out (a Boston Globe Year's Best for 2016), Doing the Devil's Work, The Devil in Her Way, and The Devil She Knows. He is also the author of the stand-alone novels, Fresh Kills and Bloodroot, set in his hometown of Staten Island. His short fiction and non-fiction have appeared in several anthologies. He lives in New Orleans with his wife, AC Lambeth, a writer and yoga instructor, and their dog. He plays drums in a rock-'n-'roll band.
Barry Morgan, Habana Intrigue
Terry Quinn, an aging American Agent, for an unnamed government department, is sent to Cuba to plan and arrange the kidnapping of a Russian officer. He is assigned a young marine to help carry out the mission and to train for future missions. He sails into Cuba under the guise of a retired businessman visiting Cuba as a tourist. He is met by American and Canadian agents already there to coordinate the defection of a Russian diplomat.

Erica Spindler, Fallen Five
Detectives Micki Dare and Zach Harris are called in to investigate when a millionaire developer leaps from atop his luxury hotel on the night of its grand opening. After Micki receives a mysterious package from her long-dead mentor, and Zach suspects something supernatural is working against them, they realize this is no ordinary case. A dark force is once again threatening the Big Easy.
Raised in Rockford, Illinois, Spindler had planned on being an artist, earning a BFA from Delta State University and an MFA from the University of New Orleans in the visual arts. In June of 1982, in bed with a cold, she picked up a romance novel for relief from daytime television. She was immediately hooked, and soon decided to try to write one herself. She leaped from romance to suspense in 1996 with her novel Forbidden Fruit. Her novel Bone Cold won the Daphne du Maurier Award for excellence. She received a Kiss of Death Award for her novels Forbidden Fruit and Dead Run and was a three-time RITA Award finalist. Publishers Weekly awarded the audio version of her novel Shocking Pink a Listen Up Award, naming it one of the best audio mystery books of 1998.

The following companies provide their services free of charge as a service to the community:
Iron Mountain -- paper shredding and recycling
CACRC -- e-waste recycling
Republic Services -- single stream recycling
The Composting Network -- composting
Since the City established the Recycling Drop-Off Center in August 2010, a total of 1,193 tons have been recycled. Since the current curbside recycling program began in May 2011, a total of 48,822 tons have been recycled. As a result of the City's efforts since 2010 to appropriately dispose of waste tires illegally dumped and collected from residential properties, more than 214,966 waste tires have been transported to the only LDEQ-approved waste tire processor in the City. The tires collected are recycled.
Occupants of residential properties, which are eligible to receive solid waste collection by the City, are also eligible to place up to four (4) tires next to their garbage collection carts on the second collection day of each week (or on Wednesdays in the French Quarter and DDD). Businesses are not eligible for this service.
Residents are reminded that an ordinance was passed earlier this year (Sections 26-415 through 24-430 of the City Code), which established minimum standards for the storage, sale, repair, removal, installation, hauling and disposal of motor vehicle tires and established a stronger enforcement process with significant fines and penalties.
It is illegal to store more than 20 tires on a property without authorization from LDEQ as a registered Waste Tire Generator or to transport more than 20 tires without a permit from LDEQ, which must be prominently displayed on the vehicle transporting the tires. All tires must be covered to prevent standing water which could become breeding grounds for rodents and mosquitoes that could carry the West Nile or Zika viruses. All Waste Tire Generators must keep LDEQ-approved manifests on site, for a minimum of five years, which document that tires have been legally transported and disposed of by an LDEQ-permitted transporter and tire processor.
The Department of Sanitation is working the NOPD, the Department of Safety and Permits and the Department of Finance to ensure that all tire shops are in full compliance with City and State Codes. The owners of properties that are found not to be in compliance will be cited. As a result of a joint enforcement action involving LDEQ's Criminal Investigation Division and NOPD, arrests have been made for illegally transporting and disposing of tires in Orleans Parish.
City to Expand Recycling Drop-Off Program, Adds Second Drop-Off Day Each Month
NEW ORLEANS - Due to increased demand, starting in August, 2018, the City of New Orleans Department of Sanitation will add another day each month to its Recycling Drop-Off Center schedule. The Recycling Drop-Off Center, located at 2829 Elysian Fields Ave., will be open on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
On the second and fourth Saturdays of each month, Orleans Parish residents can drop off paper products (newspapers, junk mail, phone books, catalogs, office paper and color inserts); plastics #1 through #7 (water, soda, juice, detergent, plastic pots from nurseries, plastic bags, etc.); metals (aluminum, tin and steel cans); cardboard; boxboard (cereal boxes); Mardi Gras beads; batteries (AA, AAA, AAAA, C, D, 6-volt, 9-volt and Lithium); light bulbs (incandescent and fluorescent); electronics (computers, laptops, phones and televisions, limit 4), microwave ovens (limit 4); tires (limit 4), glass (limit 50 pounds.) and organics for composting (frozen fruit/vegetable scraps such as peels, skins, pits and seeds; tea bags; coffee grounds; paper coffee filters; eggshells; nutshells; seed shells; plain bread; grains and plain pasta (no toppings, meat, bones, dairy or foods with oil).
