Fisher House Foundation is best known for a network of comfort homes where military and veterans’ families can stay at no cost while a loved one is receiving treatment. These homes are located at major military and VA medical centers nationwide, close to the medical center or hospital they serve. Fisher Houses have up to 21 suites, with private bedrooms and baths. Families share a common kitchen, laundry facilities, a warm dining room and an inviting living room. Fisher House Foundation ensures that there is never a lodging fee. Since inception, the program has saved military and veterans’ families an estimated $235 million in out of pocket costs for lodging and transportation.
Fisher House Foundation also operates the Hero Miles program, using donated frequent flyer miles to bring family members to the bedside of injured service members as well as the Hotels for Heroes program using donated hotel points to allow family members to stay at hotels near medical centers without charge. The Foundation also manages a grant program that supports other military charities and scholarship funds for military children, spouses and children of fallen and disabled veterans.
For the tenth year in a row, Fisher House Foundation has received the coveted “Four-Star” rating for sound fiscal management from Charity Navigator, the nation’s premier charity-rating agency, placing Fisher House among the top 1% of charities nationwide. Fisher House Foundation has headquarters in Rockville, MD.

BARGAINS PLUS PETS With S.T.A.R.T. for Adoption! Will you BE my new Guardian?
Sweet Shayleigh!Beautiful Hemsleigh
Today’s article, children, is about the coming of age of World Cup soccer in the United States. Now don’t make a face; yes, the play-by-play announcers still are stilted, bean-up-their-butts, British-raised dandies who have no concept of analytical announcing and whose sports vocabulary is about as colorful as a working class British dinner. And yes, the action can be difficult to follow and penalties seem capricious. But there’s something to be said about this year’s event in Brazil; perhaps its because of the coolest graphics ever developed for the event, perhaps its Brazil itself, maybe its the fact that the majority of Americans finally understand enough about the sport to watch the United States team, at least. And it’s the first time the United States has had enough firepower to keep up with the big boys.
But I think its more than that. I think its the fact that the Western European powerhouses are getting their backsides kicked by the rest of the world. England, for one. Two and
barbecue for the Islanders. Spain, the defending champs, for another. Same two and out for Espana. And Germany. Needing a couple of corner kick goals to tie Ghana? Germany? The team America plays Thursday? Not a whole lot more to say about Portugal, Italy, France, Switzerland or Austria, even though France is 2 and 0 has scored 8 goals. Portugal was extremely lucky to tie the U.S. on Sunday. America dominated 93 of the 95 minutes of the match, giving up a sloppily defended corner kick goal early in the match and the forever-to-be-discussed extra time goal against three so-called defenders and a tired, ball-watching goalie in the final 30 seconds.
If the U.S. makes the knockout round (Sweet 16), great for them. If they beat Germany, that’s a huge accomplishment, even in a down year for European teams. Who will win it all? I really don’t care. There’s too much else in the world of sports that gets me more involved. But I am watching the games. And listening to WWL for the play-by-play, because even Jim Hawthorne sounds better than a British sports announcer. Even though WWL doesn’t actually broadcast the matches. And who, in the 21st century, says “nil” instead of “zero” or “nothing” when referring to a shutout.? “Nil”? Eat your pudding, children. All and all, you’re just another brick in the wall.
Now for the virgins. Yes, two virgins, who have had “nil” luck in winning any sort of a national sports championship, are competing for the title of 2014 College Baseball champions. Virginia and Vanderbilt, schools of elegance and culture, breeding and scholarship, the Cavaliers and the Commodores, are competing in Omaha to see who takes home the CWS crown. Vanderbilt rose from the middle of the pack in the SEC to find themselves facing a team that reached number one status during the season, an opponent that finds itself as the only nationally ranked and nationally seeded team left in the eight team CWS, 16-team super regional and 64-team regional gauntlet.
Two weeks ago, I picked Vanderbilt to beat Texas for the crown, not knowing those two teams were in the same bracket. But Vanderbilt DID beat Texas - twice - and they now face the team I would have chosen to come in third in the CWS. The smart money is on Virginia, with a perfect storm of pitching set up for the two or three game showdown. My heart is on Vanderbilt, SEC toughened and fun to play, even if their idea of tailgating is more like water boarding to a typical SEC football fan. Yes, Nashville and the Commodores are slightly different than most of the SEC, where Duck Dynasty and a plug of chewin’ tabaccy trumps white wine and references to “the Athens of the South”. But it’s still in Tennessee, where they make a pretty good drinking liquid and great barbecue and you might check your GPS before venturing off the beaten path, especially into the hills, where only kinfolk are allowed.
Vanderbilt beat Texas twice, and that’s as hard a thing to do in the postseason as exists in college baseball. Virginia beat Ole Miss twice, but Ole Miss was happy just to get back to Omaha under their coach and former LSU star Mike Bianco. Augie Garrido, the coach for Texas, considers the runner-up trophy from the CWS as “a door stopper.” The last door stopper in his collection was given to him by LSU five years ago. Garrido’s only peers in the history of the college game are Skip Bertman and Ron Dedeaux of USC. All three have won at least five CWS crowns. My wishes are to see Virginia with a “door stopper” but it wouldn’t upset me if they beat Vanderbilt. Like I said in my last column, college baseball has changed drastically in the past ten years and the big boys, including LSU, are taking steps to retain their hard-won position as a powerhouse. Funny. Looks like the Western European soccer teams need to do the same thing. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL!! HOME RUN!

Slidell HAPPENINGS! Slidell City Hall Courtyard opens with Ribbon Cutting
June 19th, 2014
Slidell Mayor Freddy Drennan, Slidell City Council and Police Chief Randy Smith invite the public to attend the Ribbon Cutting of the Slidell City Hall Courtyard on Tuesday, June 24, from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.
Hosted by the East St. Tammany Chamber of Commerce, the Ribbon Cutting will take place in the new courtyard situated in-between the city’s administration buildings and the Slidell Museum bordered by First, Second and Bouscaren Streets in Olde Towne Slidell. The courtyard features
walkways connecting the two main administration buildings with City Hall and includes a scenic lawn area with landscaping and trees and a water fountain that changes colors at night.
The project also included a redesigning the parking area behind City Hall which also allows for a drive through drop box for water bills. Residents can now simply turn into the lot behind City Hall from Bouscaren to find the drop box as they exit.
The total cost of $290,499 was funded by the City of Slidell and by generous donations from Keep Slidell Beautiful, Slidell Garden Club and the Rotary Club of Slidell.
“We are grateful to the community groups that made the development and beautification of this underused space possible,” said Mayor Freddy Drennan. “Our municipal complex is in the heart of historic Olde Towne Slidell and now our citizens can enjoy this tranquil courtyard located right in the center of town.”
Kittens, kittens, everywhere!! If you are considering getting a kitten, the best place to begin is with a local animal rescue organization. You will be giving a home to a homeless kitty and helping to reduce pet overpopulation! START makes every effort to rescue the kittens’ mother (and father too, if he can be found!) and get her spayed, tested, vaccinated and placed in a forever home. Then all kittens are spayed & neutered before they are adopted out, stopping the cycle that has caused so many wonderful cats to be homeless, living on the street, or euthanized in shelters. The adoption fee you pay to a rescue organization helps to cover a portion of the pet’s veterinary care, far less than the actual cost! Please support the efforts of local rescue groups by adopting and donating. START encourages you to adopt two litter mates for a reduced adoption fee! Your kittens will have a buddy when you are not home and you will receive twice as much love and have twice as much fun watching them grow into wonderful cats! For more information on adopting a pet from START, please email: [email protected].

How can I ensure long-term or permanent care for my pet if I become seriously ill or die?
The best way to make su re your w ishes a re fulfilled is by also making formal arrangements that specifically cover the care of your pet. It’s not enough that long ago your friend verbally promised to take in your animal or even that you’ve decided to leave money to your friend for that purpose. Work with an attorney to draw up a special will, trust, or other document to provide for the care and ownership of your pet as well as the money necessary to care for her/him.

Words to GROW by! Once apon a time, there was a working class neighborhood in San Francisco called the Haight Ashbury. It is located roughly in the middle of the seven mile by seven mile jewel of the Western United States, San Francisco. Despite the media hype over the past 50 years, it was a hell of a place to grow up and get an education. It received just the right amount of fog, lots of sunshine and not as much of the summer overcast that throws a chilly pall over The City most of the summer.
You could always spot a tourist in San Fran. They were the ones in the summertime wearing shorts and short-sleeve shirts, sunglasses and hats. Natives wore Pendletons, Levis, sneakers, penny loafers, sweatshirts and sweaters or windbreakers. Tourists froze their butts off in July and August. Seasoned travelers made their travel plans to visit in April, May, and from mid-September into October, November and mid-December.
As a boy, the Haight Ashbury was where I first learned to play, to work and to enjoy life. My school was located on Haight Street, an east-west thoroughfare connecting downtown and the Castro Valley area and Golden Gate Park. It was my first marketplace where I went to school, bought my clothes, got an ice cream cone, watched four hours of cartoons, newsreels, short features and a main feature for 25 cents on Saturday mornings at the Haight Theater, bought books, watches, toys, learned to bowl (with live pinsetters!) and appreciate Nature in Golden Gate Park, a man-made wonder carved out of sand dunes in the late 1800’s. This beautiful park had everything: train rides, swings, slides, pavilions, a carousel, tons of benches, concessions, lakes, virtually tame squirrels that would climb on your shoulder, take a peanut out of a bag in your shirt pocket and eat it while sitting there and museums, conservatories, the Japanese Tea Garden and dozens of other destinations. But for a kid, the biggest attraction was the acres and acres of wooded, grassy areas with hills, hollows, little caves and all the trees you could climb and have imaginary adventures in.
I went back in 2005 to visit, four months before Katrina. The post-hippie Haight still looked the same. Cities like San Francisco,New Orleans and New York change demographics but rarely does the landscape change more than superficially - well, in the neighborhoods, anyway. I’ll be going out there once or twice a year starting this year to watch the 49ers play in Santa Clara, which can never be mistaken for San Francisco but is close enough to allow me to fly in and get a dose of The City By The Bay before the game. Anyone who loves New Orleans and the Cajun region can relate to loving San Francisco. There are so many similarities: the food, the architecture, the music, the crazies and zanies, the cultural atmosphere, their international ports and historic waterways. They’re both very tolerant cities and regions and embrace laissez le bon temps roule’.
But the Haight never did. Hate, that is. It was always a friendly neighborhood, full of first, second and third generation Americans who appreciated the fact that the army didn’t come into their homes to conscript them into service, where land barons didn’t ride roughshod over their villages and where swastika-bearing soldiers didn’t create a living hell for them. Just like anywhere else in America in those days (old school), a kid couldn’t get away with anything stupid and they learned quietly from adults until the kid hit puberty, when everyone over 30 suddenly became senile, just like everywhere else in America.
The lessons I have learned in the South as an older teenager and adult have been wonderful and profitable and some of them I would have loved to have learned as a youngster. But being raised in the gumbo of a multicultural, multi-religious, multi-economic community is something I wish more kids would have experienced. It allows you to move relatively seamlessly into the different worlds of America I’ve experienced - Los Angeles, the Old West, the Plains, the Bible Belt, the Deep South - without the visceral shock which each region might produce.
My old neighborhood became famous because of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jerry Garcia, The Lovin’ Spoonful and a host of artists, poets, nut cases and gurus of all kinds. None of them were there
when I grew up. The beatniks were in the city but they weren’t in my neighborhood to any measurable degree. What few beats living around the Haight Ashbury when I was a kid had been displaced by hippies following 2 1/2 years of college at LSU when I returned the year before The Summer of Love to finish my college degree in San Francisco. I prefer to think of the neighborhood as a breeding ground for gentle people of all disciplines and beliefs, that began as a tough immigrant area, survived the 1906 fire and earthquake and evolved into the type of place where a kid could get the best of both the urban and rural worlds of post-World War II America. A safe, nurturing, colorful world full of adventure and spirit. A learning place. A peaceful and nearly holy place.

THE HAIGHT WAS ALWAYS ABOUT LOVEby Tony Onellion
Despite the colder than average winter, Louisiana azaleas provided a fair flower display this spring.
Those azaleas will need care during the next few months to assist in future growth and development.
Several things to consider include pruning to enhance flower bud formation for next year and what to do with plants exhibiting cold injury symptoms. Terminal growth of some azaleas – especially those planted in open areas or where desiccating winds are prevalent – was damaged this winter. In addition, bark splitting is occurring on some azalea varieties.
To improve these situations, prune out terminal growth that has been damaged after spring flowering is completed. On stems showing evidence of bark splitting, prune below the damaged area. Pruning even when it is not a tool correct growth in cold-damaged plants, is one of the most important cultural practices in maintaining azaleas. Pruning requirements for azaleas depend on plant age, growth habit desired, location in the landscape, flowering time and overall plant vigor.
Occasional thinning of growth will control size, encourage more branching and reduce the need for severe pruning or rejuvenation pruning later. The standard recommendation on pruning azaleas is to prune any time after flowering through the first part of July.
Pruning later than this, especially anything more than light pruning, may remove some of the young flower buds being developed for next year. Not all azaleas necessarily need to be pruned annually. Many dwarf azaleas don’t need regular pruning, and Southern indica type azaleas really need only tip pruning occasionally to encourage branching, eliminate bypass shoots and increase flower numbers.
In pruning, select sharp hand pruners to cut back shoots that are damaged or have become leggy. Cut back dying shoots to healthy green wood to prevent further dieback. If desired, prune young, vigorously growing azaleas immediately after flowering and then prune very lightly again before the end of June. This formal pruning produces a very dense, compact growth habit and can double the number of flowers next spring.
Southern indica azaleas (Formosa, George Taber, G. G. Gerbing and others) can be grown vigorously and may overgrow their planting site. Always consider a plant’s mature size at planting time to avoid this common landscape problem. If azaleas become overgrown, prune severely around the time new spring growth begins. This pruning should remove about one-half to as much as two-thirds of the new growth that resulted from the earlier pruning.
These steps can be followed to obtain control of overgrown azaleas. This may result in a reduction in flowering for a year or two, however. Some azalea varieties are multi-seasonal flowering or have a tendency to flower at several times of the year – primarily fall and spring. These plants generally should be pruned after flowering in the spring. Fall or winter pruning can be done, but it is possible the resultant growth may be more susceptible to cold damage.
For further information contact Alan Vaughn, County Agent, Plaquemines/St. Bernard Parish at 433-3664 or 278-4234.
CONSIDER NEXT YEAR’S FLOWERS, COLD INJURY WHEN PRUNING AZALEAS
