| Margaritaville eyes new location in French Quarter
Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville on Decatur Street will vacate its current spot in the historic Storyville Music Hall to make way for a B.B. King's Blues Club.
 CITY RECOGNIZES THE AMERICAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION OF NEW ORLEANS AS A FIT BUSINESS NEW ORLEANS - The City of New Orleans Health Department (NOHD) today recognized the American Diabetes Association of New Orleans for achieving workplace wellness as part of the City's Fit NOLA Business certification program. The designation as a 'fit business' recognizes the American Diabetes Association's commitment to worksite wellness, which includes policies to encourage physical activity during the work day, healthy nutrition education programs to employees, and a tobacco-free campus. "I commend the American Diabetes Association of New Orleans for their Fit Business certification and welcome them to the growing list of Fit Businesses in the New Orleans area," said Charlotte Parent, director of the New Orleans Health Department. "Fit NOLA is about making the healthy choice the easy choice. Businesses can do that by making sure that workplaces promote health and wellness, which will benefit employers and employees alike. I encourage all of the businesses in our area to consider joining the Fit NOLA Business certification program." The 'Fit Business' certification program is based on national worksite wellness models that help businesses move their employees toward physical and nutritional fitness. The City's program recognizes businesses in the Greater New Orleans region that meet certain standards for worksite wellness such as: encouraging employees to being physically active and eat fresh fruit and vegetables, providing lactation rooms in the office, and having a tobacco-free workplace. Businesses that meet or surpass these standards receive special awards. There are four designation levels businesses can achieve through the program: platinum, gold, silver and bronze awards. For their current policies and ongoing efforts to promote workplace wellness, the American Diabetes Association of New Orleans has achieved a silver level business designation. Fit NOLA, Mayor Mitch Landrieu's comprehensive plan to achieve healthy weight and fitness in New Orleans, provides businesses with the tool kit assessment to identify areas of improvement in hopes to lower employer expenses and improve employee health. There are already 18 other Fit NOLA certified businesses: http://nola.gov/health/healthy-lifestyles/business-tool-kit/ In 2013, the Business Sector, one of Fit NOLA's six strategically formed teams, developed the Fit NOLA Business Toolkit to help companies assess their current state of workplace wellness. Comprised of representatives from Fortune 500 companies and local non-profits and universities, the Business Sector created the assessment to identify areas in which businesses could improve and celebrate championed initiatives and policies of employee health.

| PRYTANIA STREET BETWEEN MILAN STREET AND MARENGO TO REMAIN CLOSED TO TRAFFIC FOR EIGHT WEEKS TO COMPLETE WATER LINE REPLACEMENT Construction Began in March but was Delayed to Allow Entergy to Relocate Gas Lines NEW ORLEANS - Today, the City of New Orleans issued a traffic advisory for the remaining road closure of Prytania Street between Milan Street and Marengo Street to install a new water line as part of the FEMA-funded Recovery Roads Program designed to restore sub-surface utilities and roadway damages related to Hurricane Katrina. Construction began in March 2015 but was delayed to allow Entergy to relocate nearby gas lines. Beginning Monday, June 1, 2015, at 7:00 a.m., the 4100 block of Prytania Street between Milan Street and Marengo Street will be closed to vehicular access for approximately eight weeks. The road closure will allow workers to excavate a portion of the roadway, replace damaged or leaking water lines and drain lines, place fill material beneath the roadway, and repave the roadway. During construction there will be no access to driveways and on-street parking will be prohibited. Community members have been informed of the construction work. Construction crews will be working from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Work on Saturdays may occur when necessary. Residents should exercise caution when driving, bicycling, or walking near active construction sites.  |

Top 10 Tips for Hiring a Contractor How to avoid a financial nightmare while building your dream home.
NEW ORLEANS - As the dates for the 2015 Parade of Homes draw near (May 31 and June 6 & 7), the Home Builders Association of Greater New Orleans encourages those planning to build their "dream home" (or renovate an existing home) to take time to review these ten practical tips for hiring a contractor, so the experience can be the stuff of dreams and not a financial nightmare. They are:
Tip #1:
Make sure your contractor is licensed by the State of Louisiana. Check licenses at www.lslbc.louisiana.gov or 1.800.256.1392
Tip #2:
Ask your contractor for references... and CHECK THEM!
Tip #3:
Check for current insurance. It is good practice to verify your contractor has General Liability & Workers' Compensation.
Tip #4:
When collecting bids, remember that if a bid sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Tip #5:
Don't sign anything before fully understanding it. If your contractor is pressuring you to sign, perhaps you should reconsider who you are hiring.
Tip #6:
Keep good records of everything related to your project. This includes payment records - never pay in cash
Tip #7:
A General Contractor is responsible for all aspects of the project...proper permitting, scheduling, planning, and coordinating subcontractors & suppliers.
Tip #8:
Check regulations before you begin any project. This includes Deed Restrictions & Zoning Ordinances.
Tip #9:
Set a specific Timeline & Payment Schedule. Draw schedule should coincide with progress of work.
Tip #10:
Make sure change orders are documented with your contractor. A verbal agreement is not enough!
Parade homes are located throughout the Greater New Orleans area (Orleans, Jefferson, Plaquemines and St. Bernard) within easy reach for all interested members of the community. In addition to the 17 newly-built houses on this year's Parade is the St. Jude Dream Home?, a three-bedroom, three-bathroom house located at 6919 West End Blvd. in Lakeview, which will be raffled off to support St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. Valued at more than $650,000, tickets for the raffle can be purchased for only $100.

 Louisiana SPCA urges you to prepare for hurricane season Follow Our Lead and protect your pets with these helpful tips
NEW ORLEANS - As today marks the official start of the 2015 hurricane season and soon to be the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, the Louisiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals urges pet-owners to create an advance evacuation plan that includes their pets. Pets are members of the family and should be included in all disaster preparations.
For households with pets, it is pertinent to include your animals in your evacuation plans and to prepare for the worst-case scenario. Do not, under any circumstances, leave your pet behind. Leaving your pet tied up outside to a tree or fence is not an option. Leaving your pet indoors is risky due to floods from tidal surges which could trap your animal in a house filling up quickly with water.
Just like other members of your household, emergency planning for your pets requires supplies and advance preparation. The supplies you gather should be able to provide for your pet for at least three days. For the safety of your pets and for your own peace of mind, the Louisiana SPCA advises the following procedures for hurricane season.
Before hurricane season:
- Current vaccinations - Make sure your pet's vaccinations are current. Make copies of your records to take with you and put them in an air-tight container. All boarding facilities and veterinarian offices require proof of immunization before accepting animals.
- Identification - Update your pet's ID tags if needed. Talk to your veterinarian about permanent identification such as microchipping and enrolling your pet in a recovery database. This simple step could be your pet's round-trip ticket home in the event they get lost.
- Compile a list of places to go - Consider staying with family or friends who reside outside of the affected area and are comfortable with pets, or look into pet-friendly hotels, shelters or boarding facilities outside of the hurricane strike zone. Please note that the Louisiana SPCA does not board animals.
What your pet needs for an evacuation:
- Food and water - Keep food in an airtight, waterproof container. Water should be in addition to the water you need for yourself and family.
- Medicine and medical records - Keep an extra supply of medicines your pet takes on a regular basis in a waterproof container. All boarding facilities and veterinarian offices require proof of immunization before accepting animals.
- Collar with ID tags, harness or leash - Your pet should wear a collar with an up-to-date rabies tag and ID tag at all times. Include a backup leash, collar and ID tag.
- Crate or other pet carrier - Get a portable, secure and covered pet carrier in advance. The carrier should be large enough so your pet can completely turn around and lie down. Mark your name, address, phone number and alternate contact information on the carrier.
- Sanitation - Include pet litter, small litter box, newspaper, towels, plastic trash bags and household chlorine bleach. Do not use scented or color safe bleaches or those with added cleaners. Use 16 drops of regular bleach per gallon of water.
New Orleans residents who will need assistance to evacuate are urged to register with the City to participate in the City Assisted Evacuation Plan (CAEP). This plan includes both residents and their pets. Orleans Parish residents can register by calling 311. When a mandatory evacuation is called, pickup points throughout the City will be announced where you can board buses that will take you to the evacuation departure points.
"Almost 10 years ago the Louisiana SPCA, along with partners from across the country, created the largest animal rescue effort our nation has ever seen," says Louisiana SPCA CEO Ana Zorrilla. "Nearly 44 percent of people who stayed behind during Hurricane Katrina did so because they refused to leave their pets behind. Now, with the City Assisted Evacuation Plan, our community has a safe place for their pets to go."
For more information about how to prepare for your pets for hurricane season, visit www.nola.gov/ready or call 1-800-BE-READY. For more information about planning for an evacuation with your pet, visit www.la-spca.org/evacuation . For a printable pet evacuation checklist, click here.

Saturday June 13th is all about surviving, thriving and just having fun! Start the morning off by getting to know 'The Girls' at an educational breakfast presented by Dr. Veronica Gillispie, OB/GYN with Ochsner Baptist. Immediately following, things begin to heat up with a Bloody Mary Mixer presented by Crystal Hot Sauce. Here's the perfect opportunity to network with your fellow FestiGals.
The signature philanthropic component Bodacious Bras for a Cause Luncheon & Auction, presented by Paris Parker Salons and Spas, features a keynote speech by Christine Clifford of The Cancer Club whose sassy, down-to-earth humor relays a powerful message of discovery and strength. Watch as cancer survivors work it on the catwalk with fashions by Stein Mart. During this highly charged celebration, FestiGals exclusive bra-Art collection will be showcased in a live auction format with 100 percent of proceeds benefitting the Cancer Association of Greater New Orleans and the Breastoration fund.
Later that evening, 'strut your stuff" in a New Orleans style second-line parade down Canal Street. Women will take a walk on the wild side and embrace their inner divas during the highly anticipated Stiletto Sprint & Stroll. As the sun goes down, the lights go up at the After-Glow Party in Masquerade presented by Harrah's Casino.

In their four-game 2015 preseason schedule, three of the New Orleans Saints' opponents will be from the AFC, while all four posted winning records in 2014.
The Saints will kick off their 2015 preseason when they travel to face the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium.

In addition to hosting the Ravens in a 22-13 preseason loss at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on August 28, 2014, the Saints later dropped a 34-27 home decision to Baltimore on November 24. This will be the first time the Saints play at the Ravens in the preseason. Baltimore holds a 2-0 advantage in the preseason series.
The following week, the Saints will host the New England Patriots in the home opener at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. It will mark the first time that the Saints have hosted the Super Bowl XLIX Champions in the preseason since 1986 and the first time the Saints play a defending Super Bowl champion in the preseason since they played at the Patriots in 2005.

New Orleans will wrap up its preseason slate in Green Bay. The Saints and Packers have not faced each other in the preseason since 2004, a game which was also played at Lambeau Field. New Orleans defeated Green Bay 44-23 on October 26, 2014 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in their last meeting. This year's contest will be the ninth preseason meeting between the two teams, with the Packers holding a 6-2 edge.
The NFL announced the 2015 regular season schedule Tuesday and the New Orleans Saints will be featured in at least three prime time nationally-televised games during the regular season, all of them at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

New Orleans' final prime time contest will take place when they host Detroit on Monday Night Football on Dec. 21 (7:30 p.m. CT).
Six of the Saints' 16 games will be against teams that finished with a winning percentage of .500 or better in 2014, with games against five playoff opponents - Arizona, Carolina, Dallas, Detroit and Indianapolis. New Orleans will play each of their NFC South rivals twice and will play one game each against each of the NFC East and AFC South teams.
The Saints will open the season with two of their first three games on the road. After kicking off the regular season at the Cardinals, they will then open up their NFC South slate when they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sept. 20 (noon, CT). New Orleans will then travel to Bank of America Stadium to face the Carolina Panthers on Sept. 27 (noon, CT) to close out the month of September.

New Orleans will close out their October slate on Oct. 25 (noon, CT), when they play their first AFC South opponent of the season, the Indianapolis Colts, at Lucas Oil Stadium.
To open November, a month where the Saints have posted an 18-6 mark since 2009, New Orleans will host the New York Giants at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Nov. 1 (noon, CT). New Orleans then hosts the Tennessee Titans on Nov. 8, followed by a road matchup at the Washington Redskins (noon, CT) on Nov. 15. The Saints will then enjoy a week 11 bye.

By 4-29-15
METAIRIE, LA - On Friday, June 19, 2015, Jefferson Parish will host a free Open House to welcome the public into the new Jefferson Performing Arts Center. An official ribbon cutting ceremony will be held at 2:30 p.m. Visitors can then enjoy a sneak peek inside the new state-of-the-art theater facility with guided tours, provided free of charge, every half hour from 3:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. The Jefferson Performing Arts Center is located at 6400 Airline Highway in Metairie between LaSalle Park and Zephyr Field. The 1,000-seat theater features an 89-foot wide stage area equipped with an operable orchestra lift that can be raised and lowered by a motor-driven system, and an innovative acoustic design. The Jefferson Performing Arts Society, Artist in Residence at JPAC, as well as operator and manager SMG, will be on-hand to welcome visitors into the new home for the cultural arts in Jefferson Parish. According to Chad Calder with The New Orleans Advocate the JPAC took more than a decade and a half to build and was plagued by a series of issues that more than doubled its original price tag.

On Saturday June 20, SMG and the Jefferson Performing Arts Society will join Jefferson Parish in presenting a "Gala Opening."
