ASHE CULTURAL ARTS CENTER REVEALS THE REFURBISHED ICONIC ASHÉ MURAL
A MOST-VISITED WORK OF ART, OVERLOOKING ORETHA CASTLE HALEY BLVD. FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS
NEW ORLEANS, LA, - At 9:00AM on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, Ashé Cultural Arts Center will reveal its restored iconic community mural, made possible by the generosity of JPMorgan Chase. Often referred to as The Ashé Mural, it is painted on the side of a building that faces the parking lot adjacent to Ashé, which is located at 1712 Oretha Castle Haley Blvd. in New Orleans. This mural holds a special place in the hearts of Central City neighbors, and definitely Ashé Cultural Arts Center participants, friends and supporters.
Made possible through city-directed funds during Mayor Marc Morial's administration, the mural was installed in the year 2000. It was an early sign to the community that something bright and beautiful was coming.
"Over the years, the mural has remained undefaced and has been a popular site for community members and tourists to take pictures" says Carol Bebelle, Ashé's co-founder and executive director. "It was never uncommon to walk out to the parking lot and find someone posing for a picture there," says Jo Ann Minor, Ashé's associate director.
For nearly the full 20 years of Ashé s existence, this mural has been homage to culture vibrant and essential to the human journey and definitive to our dear New Orleans. The restoration is a wonderful 20th Anniversary treat and tri-centennial milestone.
The artists who created the original work are Shakor and Ivan. Artists Lidya Araya, Lionel Milton, Terrance Osborne, and Jamar Pierre helped to bring the design to life. The initial mural project was coordinated by Ashé's co-founder Douglas Redd, now deceased.
The restoration was coordinated by Shakor, owner of Gallery Cayenne. He was assisted by artists Bryan Brown, Swan Gray and Jessica Legaux.
The media, Ashé participants, friends, supporters and community members are invited to the reveal. Breakfast will be served.

GLOBAL FOOD MANUFACTURER BREAKS GROUND
IN JEFFERSON PARISH
Fuji Vegetable Oil brings $70 million in Foreign Direct Investment and
39 new direct jobs, 200 construction jobs
(AVONDALE, La) - Today, the
Jefferson Parish Economic Development Commission(JEDCO), along with state, regional and local leaders, celebrated the groundbreaking of a new $70 million processing facility by
Fuji Vegetable Oil in Avondale. The project will create 39 direct jobs with an average annual salary of $77,000, plus benefits. Additionally, at the peak of construction, the project calls for approximately 200 jobs.
The specialty oil and fat producer will establish a food processing, storage and distribution complex on a U.S. 90 site adjacent to the Avondale Shipyard. Fuji's fats and oils are used in a variety of industries and can be found in a wide array of products, including desserts, infant formula, frying fats, and soaps. The company plans to process palm oil, palm kernel oil, sunflower oil, and coconut oil at the Jefferson Parish complex, which will be the company's second location in the United States. The project represents the attraction of foreign direct investment to Jefferson Parish, with Fuji Vegetable Oil owned by Fuji Oil Holdings of Japan.
"We are very excited about our expansion to Jefferson Parish," said Andrew Bunger, President of Fuji Vegetable Oil. "It is an important step in Fuji's development in the United States. We are thankful to all the people at the State of Louisiana and Jefferson Parish who have welcomed us to New Orleans. Fuji has many great partners who are making this project possible. We are breaking ground today and look forward to working with all of our new neighbors."
"We are honored to welcome Fuji Vegetable Oil to Jefferson Parish," said JEDCO President & CEO Jerry Bologna. "Fuji's groundbreaking marks the entrance of another global company into our community. This announcement brings even more foreign direct investment into Jefferson Parish, placing our community at a strategic advantage to attract additional international companies, like Fuji. We are grateful for Fuji's investment and vision, and we look forward to working with the company as it grows and thrives in Jefferson Parish."
Fuji Vegetable Oil selected Jefferson Parish due to its skilled workforce, its proximity to new markets, and its strong shipping infrastructure, including access to international waters, which will be vital to the company's import of raw materials and export of finished products.
"This is an exciting moment for the West Bank and specifically the Avondale area," said Jefferson Parish President Mike Yenni. "The Fuji project is one of several major economic development wins for Jefferson Parish this year, a testament to our strong workforce, unique assets, accessibility, and ease of doing business. Fuji's investment in Jefferson Parish continues to support this community as a global destination for business. On behalf of the Parish Council and Administration, I am pleased to welcome Fuji Vegetable Oil to Jefferson Parish. We look forward to a long partnership with the company."
JEDCO played an important role in the attraction of Fuji Vegetable Oil to Jefferson Parish. The organization coordinated meetings with Jefferson Parish leaders and provided tax incentive guidance. JEDCO also offered space at the organization's Conference Center to support the company's hiring and job training activities. In addition to those services, LED offered Fuji Vegetable Oil a competitive incentive package and access to the comprehensive solutions of
LED FastStart , the nation's number one state workforce training program. The company will also receive a $250,000 award through the state's Economic Development Award Program, which will be used for infrastructure improvements to the site.
"Plans for this project on Jefferson Parish's West Bank preceded our recent announcement that the legacy Avondale Shipyards site nearby has been purchased for renewed industrial development," said Governor John Bel Edwards. "Both developments are great news for Jefferson Parish, New Orleans, and the State of Louisiana. We are attracting investment for a new era of development on the Mississippi River, we are attracting new jobs and income growth, and we continue to reaffirm Louisiana's position as the No. 1 state in the U.S. for per capita foreign direct investment. These are all great signs that Louisiana's economy is headed in the right direction."
"This has been an outstanding year for Avondale and the West Bank of Jefferson, and Fuji Vegetable Oil represents yet another milestone in bringing back an important economic engine for the Greater New Orleans region," said Michael Hecht, President and CEO of Greater New Orleans, Inc. "Fuji Vegetable Oil is a great addition to our business community, complementing our growing food manufacturing industry. We look forward to supporting their success here."

Louisiana Literati!
Poppy Tooker Explains Her Latest Book,
Pascal's Manale Cookbook: A Family Tradition
METAIRIE - Poppy Tooker, author of a new book titled Pascal's Manale Cookbook: A Family Tradition, will discuss it at 7 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 8, at the East Bank Regional Library, 4747 W. Napoleon, Metairie.
This event is free of charge and open to the public.
This event is co-sponsored by the Tennessee Williams/New Orleans Literary Festival, an annual five-day literary festival that occurs in the city of New Orleans each spring. The festival is dedicated to the Pulitzer Prize-winning American playwright Tennessee Williams. Every year, it features several events related to the long career of Williams, as well as writing workshops, panel discussions, literary readings, stage performances, a book fair, music, writing contests, and other events.
Tooker's exploration into the storied Uptown restaurant, which she calls one of the "jewels in New Orleans' culinary crown," reveals the history of the family behind it and their influence on the city's culinary culture.
She says that in contrast to the chef driven French dishes of the Creoles, Sicilian cuisine came straight from mama's kitchen just as the signature dishes on the tables of the eatery. A bastion of Italian cuisine in New Orleans, recipes for Pascal's Manale's best-known dishes, including barbequed shrimp, stuffed artichokes, and meatballs have fed their fans for more than a century.
A native New Orleanian, Poppy Tooker is passionate about food and the people who make it. She was awarded both a master chef's diploma and the cooking teacher's diploma upon completion of Madeline Kamman's legendary professional course. Her classical training and love of New Orleans cuisine has been recognized internationally and across the United States. She was awarded the Literary Award of the Year by the Louisiana Library Association in 2013. Tooker hosts the popular weekly radio show Louisiana Eats!

Drumsville!: Evolution of the New Orleans Beat
Opens November 8, 2018
The Jazz Museum will open Drumsville!: Evolution of the New Orleans Beat on November 8th. The roots of drumming in New Orleans reaches back to the eighteenth-century-both the Africans who performed throughout the region, eventually organizing drum circles in Congo Square, and the European marching bands of the colonial militias, operas, concerts, and balls. Drumming plays a central role in the evolution of local music traditions-from Brass Bands to R&B to Trad Jazz-which have flourished in the city throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to today. Artifacts range from percussive instruments played in Congo Square to New Orleans drum masters Johnny Vidacovich, Herlin Riley, Shannon Powell, and Stanton Moore personal collections of instruments. This is a not-to-miss exhibit!

Rameau's PYGMALION
November 8th-11th, Le Petit Theatre
Join us for an evening of French Baroque opera, a musical feast featuring selections of artwork from the New Orleans Museum of Art and performances by Marigny Opera Ballet Company.
The court of Louis XIV, the "Sun King," was known for its richness and splendor that extended to the arts and architecture, as well. Jean-Philippe Rameau, one of the greatest of the French Baroque composers of opera turned to the Greek mythological subject of the renowned sculptor, Pygmalion, as told in Ovid's Metamorphoses. In Rameau's and Ballot de Sauvot's version, the sculptor Pygmalion creates a beautiful statue to which he declares his love. His girlfriend, Céphise, begs for attention, but Pygmalion spurns her and entreats the goddess Venus to bring his statue to life. Magically the statue enlivens, sings, and dances. Venus arrives and praises Pygmalion for his artistry and faith in his powers, and helpfully finds another lover for Céphise.
The second half of our French Baroque evening will feature the following compositions complemented by paintings from the New Orleans Museum of Art's exhibition of the Duke of Orleans celebrated art collection.

Po-boys at the Oak Street Po-Boy Festival.
Oak Street Po-boy Fest
An entire festival dedicated to NOLA's signature sandwich? Yes, please!
The Oak Street Po-boy Festival takes place Sunday, Nov. 11, and wristbands to purchase po-boys cost $5. Sample po-boys from all of New Orleans's best restaurants and enjoy live music and art between bites.
Raw Oysters
Fall in New Orleans marks the beginning of oyster season on the Gulf Coast. Oysters are in season during months with an 'r' in them - September to April - because the water in the Gulf is a bit cooler during that time (however, you can still enjoy them year-round). Plenty of local restaurants offer special happy hour deals on raw and chargrilled oysters, so you can easily get your fix.
Boudin, Bourbon & Beer
There's no question that
Boudin, Bourbon & Beer is a winning combination. This festival was created by Chef Emeril Lagasse and takes place on Nov. 9 in Champion's Square. Many of New Orleans' best chefs participate, and beer is provided by Abita with bourbon by Buffalo Trace. Admission is $135 and includes all food and drinks. Proceeds go to the Emeril Lagasse Foundation, which supports life skills development, culinary training, and educational programs.

IBM is heading to New Orleans to look for information technology professionals for its Client Innovation Center in Baton Rouge.
The company will conduct a career fair Nov. 10 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Delgado Community College's City Park campus at 615 City Park Ave., a news release said. It will be on the second floor of the Student Life Center.

The company has posed a list of available positions at
. Candidates can also register for the career fair and upload resumes on the site. IBM officials will be at the career fair to screen and interview applicants.

City to Increase the Number of Waste Tires Accepted at the Recycling Drop-Off Center from Four to Five
NEW ORLEANS - In an effort to reduce the number of illegally abandoned waste tires, the City of New Orleans Department of Sanitation has increased the number of waste tires that will be accepted at the Recycling Drop-Off Center from four to five. The Recycling Drop-Off Center, located at 2829 Elysian Fields Ave., is open on the second and fourth Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Orleans Parish residents can drop off paper products (newspapers, junk mail, phone books, catalogs, office paper, color inserts); plastics #1 through #7 (water, soda, juice, detergent, plastic pots from nurseries, plastic bags, etc.); metals (aluminum, tin and steel cans); cardboard; box board (cereal boxes); Mardi Gras beads; batteries (AA, AAA, AAAA, C, D, 6 volt, 9 volt, Lithium); light bulbs (incandescent and fluorescent); and electronics such as computers, processors, monitors, keyboards, small printers, laptops, ink jet/toner cartridges, circuit boards, X-boxes, Playstations, Wii, MP3/DVD/CD players, DVRs, digital cameras, security systems, networking equipment, UPS, GPS, fax machines, stereos, telephones and phone systems, televisions (limit 4), microwave ovens (limit 4), tires (limit 5), glass (limit 50 lbs.) and organics for composting -- fruit/vegetable scraps (peels, skins, pits, or seeds), tea bags, coffee grounds and paper filter, eggshells, nutshells, seed shells, plain bread, grains, and plain pasta (no toppings, meet, bones, dairy or foods with oil).

**Shred day (Limit 50 lbs.)
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.

Les ReBelles - New choreography with Nathalie Gomes Adams
Join our all-female performance troupe celebrating the 1920s, 1960s, turn of the 20th century with French Can Can and more. Think 1920s Flapper, 1960s Gogo, turn of the Century French Cancan, etc. All that, with a French twist to it!
Les Rebelles of NOLA celebrate the women of New Orleans and connect them through dance regardless of age, shape and background. During our classes you will learn a choreography meant to be performed (performing is optional), become part of a family of supportive women and improve your dance skills.
Our Season goes from September-June. And there are 3 courses/year.
We offer 2 courses a week as well. You can sign up for one or both if you wish.
MONDAY is a faster pace class with less breakdown. The focus is on a brand new choreography.
WEDNESDAY breaks down the fundamentals of the style of dance being taught during that particular course and teaches you a different choreography than the one taught on Monday.
Choose: - 1 course: $150/person - Both courses (Monday and Wednesday within the same time period): $225.00 - Annual Pass=3 courses: $375 (1 course a week for the whole year) - Add a second weekly course to the annual pass for $75
