CITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED FOR ABILITY TO RESPOND TO PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCIES
NEW ORLEANS - Today, the City of New Orleans Health Department (NOHD) announced that it was recognized by the National Association of County & City Health Officials' Project Public Health Ready (PPHR) program for the department's ability to plan for, respond to and recover from public health emergencies. NOHD's emergency preparedness program plans for and responds to all public health emergencies in New Orleans including natural disasters, disease outbreaks, mass casualty incidents and more. Additionally, they monitor the availability of public health and medical services and provide evacuation or sheltering assistance to medically vulnerable populations.
"I thank Project Public Health Ready for this esteemed recognition," said Mayor Mitch Landrieu. "In New Orleans, we understand the importance of emergency preparedness and the consequences that can arise from not having a plan in place. That is precisely the reason that City agencies like the Health Department work year-round to ensure that our residents are safe and prepared in the event of an emergency."
"We are committed to continuing to strengthen our ability to bring quality public health services to New Orleans in partnership with our community," said New Orleans Health Director Charlotte Parent. "This recognition is proof of that commitment, and we are pleased to join the ranks of nearly 450 local health departments that have been Project Public Health Ready recognized."
PPHR is a training and recognition program that assesses preparedness and assists local health departments to respond to emergencies. The criteria are national standards for local public health preparedness and are updated annually to incorporate the most recent federal initiatives. Each of the three PPHR project goals-all-hazards preparedness planning, workforce capacity development, and demonstration of readiness through exercises or real events-has a comprehensive list of standards that must be met in order to achieve PPHR recognition.
New Orleans was one of 30 local or regional health agencies recognized this year. The PPHR status lasts for five years, and agencies have the opportunity to be re-recognized after that time period.

Now open: Exhibition exploring history of 18th-and 19th-century currency
WHO:
The Historic New Orleans Collection
WHAT:
"Money, Money, Money! Currency Holdings from The Historic New Orleans Collection," a new exhibition
WHEN: On view May 24-October 29, 2016
Tuesday - Saturday 9:30am - 4:30pm
WHERE:
THNOC's Williams Research Center, 410 Chartres St. in the French Quarter
HOW:
Admission is free. For more information, visit www.hnoc.org or call (504) 523-4662.
WHY:
The Historic New Orleans Collection's holdings include a trove of historically significant pieces related to this region's economic history. The museum's latest exhibition, "Money, Money, Money! Currency Holdings from The Historic New Orleans Collection," invites visitors to explore more than 200 coins, paper notes, printing plates, political cartoons, counterfeit detectors, paintings and interactive features. These items demonstrate the numerous, sometimes bizarre, incarnations of money in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Prior to the Civil War, currency in the United States lacked cohesion. States, banks, companies, towns and all but two of Louisiana's parishes printed their own notes. From railroads to the Confederate treasury, institutions used money as a cultural canvas to illustrate their values. The currency on display depicts agriculture and industry, noted figures and even fantastic creatures such as mermaids. The imagery is sure to intrigue both the causal onlooker and the devoted collector.
The exhibition allows visitors to trace more than a century of tumultuous Louisiana history through the lens of currency. Notes connected to the rise of the French Company of the Indies, which ran the Louisiana colony from 1717 to 1731, and examples of Spanish coinage reflect early, often illicit inter-imperial trade. In the 19th century, with Louisiana's shift from colonial outpost to economic center, New Orleans's importance becomes evident in paper bills from banks that, with their enviable location on the Mississippi River, held prominent positions in local, national and international cotton and sugar markets. The cataclysmic effects of Civil War-era inflation are suggested by the many examples of local currency that ballooned, then dwindled during Reconstruction, when federal taxation on the printing of extra-national notes limited production.
"Money, Money, Money!" concludes with an early federal bill reminiscent of what's in visitors' own pockets-a codified currency with uniform qualities and unequivocally American symbolism.

Back by "Popular" demand. Variety calls Wicked "a cultural phenomenon," and it continues to break box office records and sell out in record time. Winner of over 100 international awards, including a Grammy and three Tony Awards, Wicked is "Broadway's biggest blockbuster" (The New York Times).
Long before that girl from Kansas arrives in Munchkinland, two girls meet in the land of Oz. One-born with emerald green skin-is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. How these two grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good makes for "the most complete-and completely satisfying-new musical in a long time" (USA Today).

|
NEW ORLEANS - Mayor Mitch Landrieu's Office of Economic Development will kick off another series of Business Information Sessions designed to connect local entrepreneurs and business owners with useful tools and resources to grow their businesses.
"These quarterly sessions are key to helping our local business owners and entrepreneurs thrive," said Mayor Mitch Landrieu. "When our businesses succeed, our economy gets stronger, more residents gain jobs and we grow the tax base that pays for essential City services."
These sessions allow interested entrepreneurs and business owners to learn more about business opportunities. One session will take place in each City Council district. All are open to the public, and individuals can attend any or all sessions.
District A Councilmember Susan G. Guidry said, "These information sessions help to assure the success of businesses, especially those that are just starting out. Giving business owners knowledge and connecting them to the right resources not only helps them to grow, but I t helps the community, as a whole. It is a win across the board."
District C Councilmember Nadine M. Ramsey said, "I encourage everyone with a small business to take advantage of the information and resources offered by these sessions. This is a great way to gain new insight into how to grow your business."
District D Councilmember Jared C. Brossett said, "As we continue in this period of great economic growth in the city of New Orleans, it is important that we develop strategic initiatives that bring together a cross sector of partners who can provide information, resources, and opportunities to entrepreneurs and small business owners.

CITY TO HOST NEW ORLEANS SUMMER CAREER PATHWAYS PROGRAM ORIENTATION
NEW ORLEANS - the City's Network for Economic Opportunity and JOB1 will kick off its New Orleans Summer Career Pathways Program orientation to provide training and employment opportunities in the advanced manufacturing and energy sectors.
In October 2014, the U.S. Department of Labor committed $8.2 million to support workforce development and training in New Orleans. Of that, a $5.8 million competitive grant went to the City of New Orleans Office of Workforce Development and a $2.4 million grant went to Delgado Community College for workforce development.
The City has leveraged the grant to improve the delivery of workforce training services, facilitate cooperation across federal, state and local workforce programs and funding streams and expand partnerships within industry sectors to develop programs that reflect current and future skill needs.
The City's Office of Workforce Development is working with a variety of training providers and community partners and organizations to customize training programs for local workers interested in obtaining certification in trades in the advanced manufacturing and energy sectors. In addition to education and skill training, participants will be provided with the wrap-around supportive services needed to increase completion and experience in real work settings to gain nationally recognized industry certifications.
. Each orientation will last from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m.
Career training will be offered in industrial maintenance, electrical and pipefitting.

Delgado was one of 270 community colleges around the country who received a total of $450 million in federal job-driven training grants. This funding was part of the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) competitive grant program, which is co-administered by the Department of Labor and Department of Education.

Women Standing Up Announces Inaugural Crime Camera Installation
|
NEW ORLEANS - Working to stop the escalation of violent crime in Algiers, Women Standing Up (WSU) has partnered with the New Orleans Police Department to install crime cameras in various "hot spots" across the community. The organization will make a formal announcement of the installation of those cameras with a press conference this Thursday, May 26, at 11:00 a.m. on the corner of Seine Court and Garden Oaks Drive in Algiers. WSU, along with Algiers elected officials, members of the clergy, and other partners will participate in the announcement.
"This initiative is in keeping with our mission of improving the quality of life for families living in the New Orleans area," said organization president Sandra Wilson. "We believe this will be the first step of many towards achieving that goal."
Five cameras have already been installed at residential and business location in the Seine/Garden Oaks area as part of the group's Crime Camera District initiative. The cameras are part of the ProjectNOLA network, and will provide real-time video to the NOPD, assisting in criminal investigations and serving as a crime deterrent.
Women Standing Up plans to continue is collaboration with NOPD to identify other areas in need of assistance. WSU has established partnerships with neighborhood associations, homeowners, churches, and businesses in an effort to develop long-term solutions to addressing the city's crime epidemic.
Founding member Roberta Brown added, "We cannot sit on the sidelines as our community deals with crime all around us. Instead we stand up to be a part of the solution. It isn't enough to talk about the problem in our homes and to each other; we must tackle it head on.

Spotlight on Mrs. Veronica Downs-Dorsey
Veronica Lee Ann Downs-Dorsey was born in New Orleans on May 23, 1956. A native of New Orleans, Veronica's early years were spent in a warm Christian environment with positive role models and achievers from whom she drew inspiration and encouragement. As a member of St. Monica Catholic Church, it was here that the first indications of her musical talents and natural leadership were nurtured. At age 14, she directed her first choir, The Golden Emeralds at Union Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church.
Affectionately known as "Ms. Vee", Veronica is an artist demonstrating her musical talents as a performer, soloist, director, instructor, arranger, organist and pianist. A product of McDonogh 35 Senior High School, class of 1974; she holds a Bachelor of Music Education from Xavier University and a Master of Music Education from Southeastern University, Hammond, Louisiana.
Downs-Dorsey has served as an educator in the Orleans Parish School System for 35 years and has been the vocal music educator at McDonogh #35 Senior High School for the past 25 years. The choir, commonly called the Singing Roneagles, is historically renowned as having been the first high school gospel choir to assemble in the city of New Orleans and the first high school gospel choir to perform at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival - having performed in the gospel tent every year since their first performance. The Singing Roneagles have received numerous nominations and accepted their Best of the Beat Awards from Offbeat Magazine for Best Gospel Group for the second consecutive year during a gala held at Generations Hall on January 21, 2016.
Downs-Dorsey served for many years as the choir director at St. Monica Catholic Church and is the past director of the New Orleans Gospel Soul Children. Downs-Dorsey currently leads the Voices of Peter Claver, the main gospel choir of St. Peter Claver Catholic Church. Downs-Dorsey is a member of The New Orleans Black Chorale, where she serves as the chorale's principal pianist. She is also a member of Tyrone Foster and the Arc Singers, the Davell Crawford Singers, the New Orleans Chapter of the Gospel Music Workshop of America, Inc., and is a director of the Archdiocese of New Orleans Mass Gospel Choir. She received the 2015 Trailblazer Award at the NOLA Gospel Awards and was honored in 2016 by the New Orleans City Council in recognition of Women's History Month.
The daughter of Mrs. Ruby Downs and the late Mr. Virgil Downs, and granddaughter or the late Mrs. Emma Dupree, Veronica is married to Wardell Anthony Dorsey and they are the proud parents of Mrs. Veronique Lahdell Dorsey-Ross.

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.

Love New Orleans & She'll Love You Back.
