"In powerfully lyrical prose, Morgan Babst evokes the shattered lives strewn in the wake of the levee collapses that left New Orleans in ruins. It's a story still difficult to believe--even by those of us who lived through it." -John Biguenet, author of The Rising Water Trilogy

Tuesday, October 16th
6-7:30PM
Join us with Apricot Irving in conversation with Lavinia Spalding discussing her book,The Gospel of Trees. Apricot will sign books after the discussion.
Apricot Irving grew up as a missionary's daughter in Haiti-a country easy to sensationalize but difficult to understand. Her father was an agronomist, a man who hiked alone into the hills with a macouti of seeds to preach the gospel of trees in a deforested but resilient country. Her mother and sisters, meanwhile, spent most of their days in the confines of the hospital compound they called home. As a child, this felt like paradise to Irving; as a teenager, the same setting felt like a prison. Outside of the walls of the missionary enclave, Haiti was a tumult of bugle-call bus horns and bicycles that jangled over hard-packed dirt, the clamor of chickens and cicadas, the sudden, insistent clatter of rain as it hammered across tin roofs and the swell of voices running ahead of the storm.
As she emerges into womanhood, an already confusing process made all the more complicated by Christianity's demands, Irving struggles to understand her father's choices. His unswerving commitment to his mission and the anger and despair that followed failed enterprises threatened to splinter his family.
This book is available in hardcover ($26.00).
If you are unable to attend, you must call the book shop to order signed books.

Halloween-themed tours of THNOC's Louisiana History Galleries return
WHO: The Historic New Orleans Collection
WHAT: "Danse Macabre: The Nightmare of History," Halloween-themed tours of THNOC's Louisiana History Galleries
DATE: Tuesday-Sunday, Oct. 16-31, 2018
*Please note THNOC is closed on Mondays.
TIME: 11 a.m.
WHERE:The Historic New Orleans Collection, 533 Royal St., in the French Quarter
HOW: Admission is $5, free for THNOC members.
Memberships at The Historic New Orleans Collection begin at $35 per year.
WHY: The Historic New Orleans Collection will resurrect the special Halloween-themed tour of its Louisiana History Galleries Oct. 2-31. "Danse Macabre: The Nightmare of History" will be available Tuesday-Sunday at 11 a.m. inside THNOC's flagship building at 533 Royal St.
In medieval allegory, "la danse macabre," or the dance of death, is a ritualized march to the grave-a sober reminder of life's finality cloaked in wicked mirth. In a similar spirit, THNOC's "Danse Macabre: The Nightmare of History" will lead visitors through darker aspects of New Orleans lore.
From the unwholesome subject of executions in French Louisiana to the gritty logistics of cemetery relocation, the tour is a toast to the authentically spooky-a veritable dance to the grave. Mosquitos, serial killers, colonialism and unlawful assembly are just some of the topics likely to produce a bedlam of fright, insights and delights.
Tours will be available at 11 a.m. Tuesday-Sunday, Oct. 2-31. Admission is $5 or free for THNOC members. Please note: this is not a walking tour of New Orleans or the French Quarter, and the tours are not intended for children under the age of 13. Please note THNOC is closed on Mondays.

MARK TURNER & ETHAN IVERSON
WITH THE 6705 LAB BAND DIRECTED BY BRIAN SEEGER
In a career that spans two decades and encompasses a broad array of musical ventures, saxophonist Mark Turner has emerged as a towering presence in the jazz community. With a distinctive personal tone, singular improvisational skills. and an innovative and challenging compositional approach, Turner has earned a far-reaching reputation as one of jazz' most original and influential musical forces. After graduating from Boston's prestigious Berklee College of Music in 1990, Turner moved to New York where his rapidly developing talents were quickly recognized. Between 1995 and 2001 he recorded five albums of his own while keeping busy as a sought-after collaborator and sideman. With an impressive musical history already under his belt and more on the way, Mark Turner is clearly on the verge of a creative renaissance. As The New York Times noted, "His best work is clearly still ahead of him."
Pianist, composer, and writer Ethan Iverson was a founding member of The Bad Plus, a game-changing collective with Reid Anderson and David King. The New York Times called TBP "...Better than anyone at melding the sensibilities of post-60's jazz and indie rock." Iverson also has been in the critically-acclaimed Billy Hart quartet for well over a decade and occasionally performs with an elder statesman like Albert "Tootie" Heath or Ron Carter. For over 15 years Iverson's website Do the Math has been a repository of musician-to-musician interviews and analysis, surely one reason Time Out New York selected Iverson as one of 25 essential New York jazz icons: "Perhaps NYC's most thoughtful and passionate student of jazz tradition-the most admirable sort of artist-scholar."

He has freelanced for The Washington Post, Variety, Reuters and several inflight magazines. He profiled Betty Ford for "American First Ladies: Their Lives and Their Legacy," a biographical encyclopedia of presidential spouses, and he wrote the afterword for "After: The Silence of the Lower 9th Ward," John Rosenthal's book of photographs showing Katrina's devastation in that part of New Orleans.

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).

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.
