Halloween is a fun and exciting time for families and children but can be extremely scary for pets. Here are a few tips from the Louisiana SPCA on how to keep your pet safe and stress free this Halloween!
Candy is for your children with two legs, not four! Chocolate and candies can be toxic to your pets so be sure to keep that candy bowl out of your pet's reach.
Only dress your pet in a costume if they enjoy it! If your pet clearly dislikes being in a costume don't force them to wear one; it can cause undue stress.
If your pet is going to wear a costume, make sure it doesn't restrict their ability to move, see, breathe, bark or meow. Equally important, make sure there are no small pieces on the costume that your pet can chew off and swallow.
Thinks like pumpkins and corn can give your pet a stomach ache. Although these edible items are non-toxic, they can certainly make your pet uncomfortable if ingested.
Bring all pets indoors before the trick-or-treating begins. Outdoor cats and dogs left in the backyard can fall victim to Halloween pranks.
Keep your pet away from the front door and the trick-or-treaters. With so many strangers coming to your door, this will help keep your pet's stress level down and reduce the chance of your pet running away.
Keep pumpkins with candles, wires and cords from holiday decorations out of your pet's reach.
Make sure your pet has proper ID tags and is microchipped in case they get separated from you!

Jefferson Parish is banking on a forgivable loan program to help spruce up its two business districts and attract new life to the areas.
The Jefferson Parish Economic Development Commission has launched the Façade Improvement Program which will forgive loans of up to $50,000 for eligible businesses and property owners after a three-year compliance period.
Only properties in the following business districts are eligible for the program: Fat City, which includes the area bounded by the western half of Severn Avenue, West Esplanade Avenue, Division Street and Veterans Memorial Boulevard; and the Jefferson Highway Corridor, which includes the street-facing properties between Deckbar Avenue and the Jefferson/Orleans Parish line.
Priority will be given to business proposals with the greatest visual impact, and the loans must be used exclusively for exterior improvements, such as repairing, replacing or installing windows, doors, awnings, signage and masonry. The addition or improvement to lighting, ADA accessibility features, patios or outdoor spaces, exterior entryways, murals and landscaping are also considered appropriate use of program funds, according to a news release from JEDCO.
Businesses have until Nov. 17 to submit an
interest survey before JEDCO opens the application process. At this time, only survey participants will be eligible to apply for a forgivable loan through the program.
The application process is expected to begin in January. Proposed projects will be evaluated on their relevance to the program's mission, visual, economic and community impact and whether the improvements will be permanent and/or affixed to the property.
U.S. Housing and Urban Development Community Block Grant funds are helping pay for the program.

Children are encouraged to wear their Halloween costumes, learn about some "scary" critters, discover pumpkins that double as animal habitats, and enjoy Halloween-themed cookies.
Staff entomologists will be on hand to talk about myths and legends behind some of the most misunderstood arthropods including roaches, spiders and scorpions. Visitors can also enter the "Guess How Many Maggots Are in the Jar" contest. The three closest guesses will receive gift certificates to Audubon Butterfly Garden and Insectarium's Flea Market.

NEW ORLEANS - Father Lawrence Carney's extended family founded Pizza Hut, Inc. and a commercial lending bank, and as a financial analyst at the Trust Company of Kansas he managed hundreds of millions of dollars.
Today, Father Carney is a Catholic priest, a chaplain and a missionary, and he walks the nation's streets, including those in New Orleans, praying for people to come to God. His calling is to provide a path of holiness for young men to become "monks in the city, apostles abroad," as part of a new religious order in honor of St. Martin of Tours.
As Father Carney walks the road to God, he will be hosting four New Orleans-area book reading and signing events in celebration of his new book "Walking The Road To God: Why I Left Everything Behind And Took To The Streets To Save Souls," published by Caritas Press:

Father Carney was just featured on EWTN Global Catholic Television Network's "At Home With Jim And Joy."
And Father Carney recently returned from walking The Camino, a pilgrimage made by St. James from the Holy Land to Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain. For 32 days Father Carney camped out in the forest and slept under the stars.
"We're all pilgrims," Father Carney said. "When we slow down our pace and unplug from our phones and from social media, and walk in nature, God starts to reveal to us how we'll be happy in this life and in the next."
Regarded as a modern day "Jesus in the streets," Father Carney wears an Old Testament black cassock and saturno hat, carries a crucifix, prays the rosary, engages the public and gives people a blessing.
"I'm hoping to walk the earth as Jesus did through the countryside and the cities snatching souls from the devil and bringing them to the altar of God," Father Carney said.
"Walking The Road To God" retails for $14.95.

Share a Memory of Krauss Department Store-
Ed Branley Talks About The New Orleans Value Store
METAIRIE, LA - Ed Branley, a former high school history teacher, will discuss his new book, Krauss, The New Orleans Value Store, at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 31, at the East Bank Regional Library, 4747 W. Napoleon, Metairie.
This event is free of charge and is open to the public.
For almost 100 years, generations of New Orleans shoppers flocked to Krauss. The Canal Street store was hailed for its vast merchandise selection and quality customer service.
In its early days, it sold lace and fabric to the ladies of the notorious red-light district of Storyville.
The store's lunch counter, Eddie's at Krauss, served Eddie Baquet's authentic New Orleans cuisine to customers and celebrities such as Julia Child.
Although the store closed its doors in 1997, Krauss is remembered as a retail haven. With vintage photographs, interviews with store insiders and a wealth of research, Branley details the story of New Orleans' Creole department store.
New Orleans native Edward J. Branley has written five books for Arcadia Publishing, including Legendary Locals of New Orleans and Images of America books New Orleans: The Canal Streetcar Line, Maison Blanche Department Store and New Orleans Jazz. He is a graduate of Brother Martin High School in New Orleans and the University of New Orleans.

Playmakers to present Pulitzer Prize winner this October
Production is directorial debut for Faherty
COVINGTON, LA-This October, Playmakers' stage heats up with Tracy Letts' taut play, August: Osage County, winner of the 2008 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award. Playmakers' board member Barbara Faherty makes her directorial debut with the play, on stage November 3-November 12.
A vanished father. A pill-popping mother. Three sisters harboring shady little secrets. When the large Weston family unexpectedly reunites after Dad disappears, their Oklahoman family homestead explodes in a maelstrom of repressed truths and unsettling secrets. Mix in Violet, the drugged-up, scathingly acidic matriarch, and you've got a major new play that unflinchingly and uproariously exposes the dark side of the Midwestern American family.
Barbara Faherty invites the audience to look deeper into the motivations of these characters and find the normality in the midst of the anger. If you look close you will find love.
August: Osage County stars Robert Jahncke as Beverly Weston, Ann Pourciau as Violet Weston, Jane McNulty as Barbara Weston Fordham, Kathryn Merris Scott as Ivy Weston, Deborah Marcelle as Karen Weston, Neil Wells as Bill Fordham, Mallory Hynes as Jean Fordham, Elizabeth Williams as Mattie Fay Aiken, Kenneth Faherty as Charlie Aiken, Shawn Patterson as Little Charles Aiken, Lisa Keiffer as Johnna Monevata, Jacob Mendowas Steve Heidebrecht and Jason Smith as Sheriff Deon Gilbeau.
Performances are weekends from November 3 to November 12, 8pm Fridays and Saturdays and 2pm Sundays. For mature audiences.
Up next at Playmakers, in December, is the fun holiday treat, Wanted: Santa Claus, written and directed by Frank Levy. Audiences of all ages are welcome; tickets available at the door only. After a debate on whether or not Santa Claus is real, Ms. Parks sends her class to investigate the true meaning behind Santa Claus. They search all over, from the internet to the mall. A season extra, this heartwarming Christmas comedy is sure to be a joyride you don't want to miss. Performances will be December 14-17 with special daytime shows for local schoolchildren.

Book and Lyrics by Tony Kushner
Music by Jeanine Tesori
Produced with the Loyola University Department of Theatre Arts + Dance
Set in 1963, a provocative story or political change, social change, and pocket change...
Set in 1963 Louisiana, a provocative story of political change, social change... and pocket change. In 1963, the Gellman family and their African-American maid, Caroline, live in sleepy Lake Charles, Louisiana. Caroline is drifting through life as a single mother of four working in a service job to a white family. A fragile, yet beautiful friendship develops between the young Gellman son, Noah, and Caroline. Noah's stepmother, Rose, unable to give Caroline a raise, tells Caroline that she may keep the money that Noah leaves in his pockets. Caroline balks and refuses to take money from a child, but her own children desperately need food, clothing, and shoes. Outside of the laundry room, some of the greatest social advancements that the country has seen are being set in motion, and change is knocking on, 4 the door.

NOMA Presents Personal Collection of E. John Bullard
NEW ORLEANS, LA - In the post-WWII studio ceramics movement, American potters evolved clay into an expressive art form, free from the confines of function or industrial production. Personalities in Clay: American Studio Ceramics from the E. John Bullard Collection showcases the ceramic collection of New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA) director emeritus John Bullard. Selections from this promised gift to the museum, comprised of close to 500 works by 235 artists in total, is on view November 4, 2017 through summer 2018 in the Elise M. Besthoff Charitable Foundation Gallery on the museum's second floor. Featuring 77 works from 33 artists, Personalities in Clay will be accompanied by vintage video footage showing potters engaged in the mesmerizing process of working clay.
"John Bullard expertly lad the New Orleans Museum of Art for 35 years. His clear vision positioned NOMA as the premier fine arts institution in New Orleans," said Susan Taylor, The Montine McDaniel Freeman Director of NOMA. "John's joyous, creative approach to art is clear from his accomplishments at NOMA, and is represented in his passion for American studio ceramics, which we are delighted to showcase in this exhibition."
The exhibition and catalogue Personalities in Clay chart the major figures in handmade American studio pottery from 1940 to the end of the 20th century. During this era's revolution in clay, potters and teachers like Peter Voulkos and Marguerite Wildenhain elevated ceramics from a medium of decorative, functional vessels, to one compatible with expressive fine arts. With a strong network of education, experiments in innovative techniques, and myriad creative voices taking to individual clay production, American potters redefined ceramic's potential as a potent, expressive medium.
"I have held a long interest in American studio ceramics. As a Los Angeles teenager I was witness to the explosive growth of ceramic arts in Southern California, when I saw pots by the Natzlers, Beatrice Wood, and landmark exhibitions about Abstract Expressionist ceramics with works by Peter Voulkos," said E. John Bullard, NOMA director emeritus. "I have followed that passion to dedicate my retirement to assembling for NOMA a collection that surveys clay development from 1945 to 1990."
"We used the title of this project, Personalities in Clay, to reference the wild variety of ceramic expression you see in John's collection," said Mel Buchanan, NOMA's RosaMary Curator of Decorative Arts & Design. "Ceramic art can range from perfectly-formed, idyllic vases and bowls to abstract sculptures with exuberant gashes in clay. Richard Notkin and Patti Warashina conveyed a strong political statement in their work, while later ceramics show a timeless appreciation for beautiful ornament and sophisticated craft process."
Personalities in Clay: American Studio Ceramics from the E. John Bullard Collection is organized by the New Orleans Museum of Art. The exhibition is supported by Catherine Burns Tremaine and Drs. Howard and Joy Osofsky.
Catalogue
The exhibition is accompanied by Personalities in Clay: American Studio Ceramics from the E. John Bullard Collection, a full-color, 104-page catalogue, published by NOMA. The catalogue highlights significant work with a 2-page spread for each of 32 artists in the exhibition, features an essay by John Bullard on his approach to collecting, and is anchored by an essay by Mel Buchanan, NOMA's RosaMary Curator of Decorative Arts & Design that situates the context of the studio ceramics movement.
