JEFFERSON PARISH SHERIFF’SWEEKLYJOURNAL Sheriff Newell Normand June 29 - July 5, 2012 sheriff takes a stand Special Olympics deserves our support, applause THERE ARE SO MANY WONDERFUL non- profit causes in South Louisiana that admirably serve our community and benefit those in need. I wish I could do more for each of them. But there is a special place in my heart for Louisiana’s Special Olympics. After you have watched 700 boys and girls vastly exceed their handicaps at a Special Olympics event, your view of the world is never quite the same. I am especially pleased that so many of my col- leagues at the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office share my feelings about Special Olympics. It is remarkable indeed that 24 members of the JPSO SWAT Team volunteered to participate in an eight-mile run to carry the Special Olympics torch. This was not something that was required of Among the members of the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office SWAT Team who ran in the Louisiana Special Olympics torch run are, bottom row from them. Participating in the run with officers from 20 left, Sean Cursain, Trent Weidert, Manuel Estrada, Louis Frost Jr., Benny Griffin and Chris Cade; and, top row, Anthony Buttone, Johnny Heck, other law enforcement organizations was something Keith Champagne, Richard Cross, Wayne Rumore, Paul Smith, Mary Layrisson, Michael Olivier, Scott Wildey, David Roddy and Donald Peterson. they wanted to do. I know they felt really good about their role in carrying the torch when motorists and pedestrians stopped to applaud them on their route from Zephyr Stadium to the Kenner 24 JPSO SWAT Team members carry Police Department administration building. Later this year, we will join hands with Special the torch for Louisiana Special Olympics Olympics again when the JPSO hosts a Special Olympics fundraiser that we call “Over the Edge.” A group of major contributors to Special Olympics TWENTY-FOUR MEMBERS of the Jefferson Parish Police Department administration building. will be invited to join our JPSO SWAT team in Sheriff’s Office SWAT Team joined colleagues from 20 All along the route, motorists and pedestrians repelling down the Benson Tower in Downtown other law enforcement agencies to carry an Olympic stopped to applaud when they saw the torch and the New Orleans.

  • A Medley of Cultures: Louisiana History at the Cabildo
    A Medley of Cultures: Louisiana History at the Cabildo Chapter 1 Introduction This book is the result of research conducted for an exhibition on Louisiana history prepared by the Louisiana State Museum and presented within the walls of the historic Spanish Cabildo, constructed in the 1790s. All the words written for the exhibition script would not fit on those walls, however, so these pages augment that text. The exhibition presents a chronological and thematic view of Louisiana history from early contact between American Indians and Europeans through the era of Reconstruction. One of the main themes is the long history of ethnic and racial diversity that shaped Louisiana. Thus, the exhibition—and this book—are heavily social and economic, rather than political, in their subject matter. They incorporate the findings of the "new" social history to examine the everyday lives of "common folk" rather than concentrate solely upon the historical markers of "great white men." In this work I chose a topical, rather than a chronological, approach to Louisiana's history. Each chapter focuses on a particular subject such as recreation and leisure, disease and death, ethnicity and race, or education. In addition, individual chapters look at three major events in Louisiana history: the Battle of New Orleans, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. Organization by topic allows the reader to peruse the entire work or look in depth only at subjects of special interest. For readers interested in learning even more about a particular topic, a list of additional readings follows each chapter. Before we journey into the social and economic past of Louisiana, let us look briefly at the state's political history.

  • Streets of New Orleans
    Streets of New Orleans Described by geographer Pierce Lewis as the “inevitable city” in the “impossible site”, New Orleans (French: La Nouvelle-Orléans) is a major United States port and the largest city and metropolitan area in the state of Louisiana. The city is named after Philippe II, Duc d'Orléans, Regent of France (brother of King Louis XIV), and is well known for its distinct French architecture as well as its cross cultural and multilingual heritage. New Orleans is also famous for its cuisine, music (particularly as the birthplace of jazz) and its annual celebrations including Mardi Gras and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival (commonly referred to as Jazzfest). Esplanade Ave: The original meaning of esplanade was a large, open, level area outside fortress or city walls to provide clear fields of fire for the fortress against incoming infantry or artillery. Esplanade Ave eventually became a place for elegant promenade and was the center of New Orleans‟ Creole community with luxurious homes and a thoroughbred racetrack [Sometimes referred to as the "New Orleans Fair Grounds", the track was initially opened as the "Union Race Course" in 1852. The track closed in 1857 due to competition from the Metairie Course. In 1859 the track was renamed the "Creole Race Course." In 1863, the name was changed again to the "Fair Grounds".] Refugees from the Haitian Revolution substantially bolstered New Orleans‟ African and Creole population in the early nineteenth century reinforcing African traditions in the city and leading to the nation‟s largest population of Free People of Color prior to the American Civil War.

  • White Creole Print Culture, Community, and Identity
    IMAGINING THE CREOLE CITY: WHITE CREOLE PRINT CULTURE, COMMUNITY, AND IDENTITY FORMATION IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY NEW ORLEANS AN ABSTRACT SUBMITTED ON THE SECOND DAY OF APRIL 2013 TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SCHOOL OF LIBERAL ARTS OF TULANE UNIVERSITY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Rien T. Fertel --- ABSTRACT ! ! This dissertation traces the development, growth, and eventual fall of a white Creole intellectual and literary community in New Orleans, beginning in the 1820s and continuing for a century thereafter. In histories and novels, poetry and prose, the stage and the press, white Creole New Orleanians—those who traced their parentage back to the city’s colonial era—advocated both an intimate connection to France and a desire to be considered citizens of the United States of America. In print, they consciously fostered, mythologized, and promoted the idea that their very bifurcated nature made them inheritors of a singularly special place, possessors of an exceptional history, and keepers of utterly unique bloodlines. In effect, this closely-knit circle of Creole writers, like other Creole literary communities scattered across the Atlantic World, imbued the word Creole as a descriptive identity marker that symbolized social and cultural power. ! In postcolonial Louisiana, the authors within this white Creole literary circle used the printed word to imagine themselves a unified community of readers and writers. Together, they produced newspapers, literary journals, and art and science-based salons and clubs. Theirs was a postcolonial exercise in articulating a common identity, a push and pull for and against their French and American halves to create a creolized Creole self.

These and other aspects of the City, Parish and metropolitan area are elaborated within this document. Market Access The City of Gretna, in Jefferson Parish , LA, has an advantageous location with its close proximity to New Orleans and being on the Mississippi River.
