     Prior to his retirement, Anzalone, as Director of Medical Resources, Plans and Policy, Chief of Naval Operations, was in charge of planning for all Naval medical operations worldwide. As the Surgeon General of the Navy's representative to the Pentagon, he oversaw a $6.4 million medical budget. It was under his leadership that Navy hospital ships were sent to assist Gulf Coast residents following Hurricane Katrina.

     Anzalone began his Naval career at the Naval Aerospace and Regional Medical Center in Pensacola, Fla., where he completed an internship in family practice. Following designation as a Navy Flight Surgeon in 1983, his first operational tour was at the Naval Hospital, Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico, where he participated in the Grenada operation and supported drug interdictions. He was then selected for the Navy's Aerospace Medicine Residency during which he received a Master of Public Health in Environmental Science from the Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine and was recognized as the outstanding student in the Environmental Science Department.
     Upon completion of his residency from the Naval Aerospace Medicine Institute in June 1989, Anzalone reported to the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson as Senior Medical Officer. Under his supervision, his department received the coveted Blue "M" award for the best medical department in the Pacific Fleet.
     His next tour of duty was as Senior Flight Surgeon at the Naval Station Mayport in Florida. He then reported as Executive Officer and interim Commanding Officer of the Naval Medical Clinic in Key West, Fla.
     Anzalone served as director of academics at the Naval Operational Medical Institute and the first Officer in Charge of the re-established Naval Aerospace Medical Institute from 1998-2000. He became the Commanding Officer of the U.S. Naval Hospital in Naples in August 2000.

John BolesInfluence of environmental factors focus of first Ford Lecture
A Rice University expert on U.S. Southern history will discuss the role of impersonal and environmental factors in shaping the culture of the South at the first Judge Leon Ford III Lecture in History Thursday, Oct. 19.
     John Boles, the William Pettus Hobby Professor of History at Rice, will present two lectures as part of Fanfare, Southeastern's annual fall festival of arts and humanities.
     A 10 a.m. lecture in the Student Union Theatre will feature a scholarly focus, while the 6:30 p.m. presentation in the Pottle Music Recital Hall will be on a more general level. Both lectures, entitled "Climate, Geography, and Southern History: The Influence of Non-Human Factors," are free and open to the general public.
     Sponsored by the Ford Family Charitable Foundation, the lectures honor the late Judge Ford who served in the 21st Judicial District. A Hammond native and local historian, Judge Ford and his family established Southeastern's second endowed chair, the Leon Ford Family Endowed Chair in Regional Studies, a position now held by history professor Samuel C. Hyde Jr. who directs the university's Center for Southeast Louisiana Studies.
     Boles' talks will focus on the influence of global factors on the South, such as climate and geography as well local environmental factors ranging from the honeybee and boll weevil to the mosquito and cattle tick. "Human action always occurs in an environmental context," Boles says. "It is important in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina to consider the synergistic relationship between nature and human history."
     Boles is the author of the book A Companion to the American South and editor of Shapers of American History. He has lectured extensively on a wide variety of Southern history topics.

Ronnie KoleIrma ThomasLegendary entertainers, two musicals headline Fanfare's third week
Two legendary Louisiana entertainers and two musicals share the spotlight during the third week of Fanfare.
     Pianist Ronnie Kole will be center stage at Southeastern's Columbia Theatre for the Performing Arts in downtown Hammond on Oct. 18, while Irma Thomas, the "Soul Queen of New Orleans," will star in Amite on Oct. 21 as the guest of Fanfare's community partner, the Amite Arts Council.
     Throughout Fanfare's third week, approximately 50 local children will audition and rehearse for the Oct. 21 Missoula Children's Theatre musical production of the fairytale favorite Snow White. And Southeastern's acclaimed Opera/Music Theatre Workshop will bring to the Pottle Music Building Auditorium stage Oct. 18-21 the eclectic musical review Songs for a New World.
     A one-man Broadway show, Ronnie Kole has been described as having "the humor of Victor Borge, the showmanship of Liberace, and the virtuoso sounds of a full symphony orchestra." Fellow pianist Harry Connick Jr. said, "When you look up 'piano' in the dictionary, you will see a picture of Ronnie Kole. He's one of the great players of our time."
     Kole has recorded at Carnegie Hall, performed throughout the world solo and with trios, septets and orchestras, and entertained millions of fans, including a pope and several presidents.
     Tickets for his 7:30 p.m. performance at the Columbia are $12, adults; $10, senior citizens, Southeastern faculty, staff and alumni; $8, group rate; and $5, all students.
     Ponchatoula native Thomas, who recently wowed a national television audience with her rendition of the National Anthem at the re-opening of the New Orleans Superdome, will appear Oct. 21 at 7:30 p.m. at the Amite High School Performing Arts Center, 403 S. Laurel St. During a career spanning more than four decades, Thomas has thrilled fans with her accomplishments as an artist, bandleader, and record producer.
     Tickets for her Amite Arts Council concert are $25 and $21 and are available at Ruby's, 111 E. Thomas St., Hammond, 985-345-4745, and the Amite Chamber of Commerce, 101 SE Central Ave., Amite, 985-748-5537.
     A perennial Fanfare favorite, Missoula Children's Theatre casts local children in a musical fairytale, providing dozens of youngsters with an unforgettable, fun, confidence-building experience - and the opportunity to become stars in just one week.
     The company's Fanfare 2006 production of Snow White has the princess on the run from her cruel royal stepmother, a band of evil Bats, and the "Black Forest Creatures." Finding a haven with the Seven Dwarfs, Snow White is menaced by the mean Queen, but her evil plans are thwarted by Snow White's Forest Friends, father "King Backwards," the trusty dwarfs, and, of course, Prince Charming.
     Auditions, scheduled for Oct. 16, 4 p.m., at the Southeastern Lab School gym, are open to children in grades kindergarten through high school. Tickets for Snow White are $12, adults; $10, senior citizens, Southeastern faculty, staff and alumni; $8, group rate; and $5, all students.
     The Opera/Music Theatre Workshop's production of Tony Award winner Jason Robert Brown's Songs for a New World is scheduled for the Pottle Music Building Auditorium Oct. 18-21, with curtain time 7:30 p.m. nightly.
     The musical review fuses pop, folk, rock, jazz, gospel, funk, and cabaret with dramatic, poignant, comic, and always theatrical lyrics. The audience is musically transported from a 1492 Spanish ship to a ledge high above Fifth Avenue where they meet a startling array of characters -- from a young man who has decided that basketball is his ticket out of the ghetto, to a political prisoner begging to have his life back, to the latest Mrs. Santa Claus.
     The revue, originally produced in 1995, preceded Brown's 1999 Tony award-winning Parade and his 2002 Off-Broadway show The Last Five Years. The show has an "R" rating because of some adult language.
     Tickets are $14, general admission; $10, senior citizens, Southeastern faculty, staff and alumni, and non-Southeastern students. Southeastern students are admitted free with their university I.D.
     Also during Fanfare's third week

     -- Southeastern faculty and students will shine in "Soaring," a collaboration of the music and dance programs. The free concert, scheduled for Oct. 17, 7:30 p.m., at the Columbia Theatre, will feature choreography and music by award-winning faculty and showcase the talents of Southeastern dancers, musicians and ensembles.
     -- the "Then and Now" lecture series sponsored by the Department of History and Political Science, will feature Michael Kurtz, Southeastern's nationally recognized historian of crime, on Oct. 18, 1 p.m., in the Pottle Music Building Auditorium. Kurtz's free lecture, "Presumed Guilty: Bruno Richard Hauptmann and the Lindbergh Kidnapping Case," will detail one of the 20th century's most controversial cases, the 1932 kidnapping and murder of Charles Lindbergh's 18-month old son.
     Kurtz will discuss the controversial arrest, trial, conviction, and execution of Bruno Richard Hauptmann, detailing how he says authorities falsified evidence and manipulated facts to secure a conviction against a German immigrant at worst guilty of extortion, and questioning if Hauptmann was made a sacrificial lamb to close a high profile, politically motivated case.
     -- the Foreign Film Series continues with the German film Nowhere in Africa, a story spanning two continents and depicting the true story of a Jewish family that flees the Nazi regime in 1938 and adjusts to farm life in Kenya. The film, scheduled for Oct. 18, at 3:30 p.m. in the Music Recital Hall, is rated R and contains some nudity and sexual content. It will be subtitled in English.
     -- a new lecture series, the Judge Leon Ford Lecture in History, will debut featuring John Boles, William Pettus Hobby Professor of History at Rice University. In lectures at 10 a.m. in the Student Union Theatre and 6:30 p.m. in the Music Recital Hall, Boles will examine "Climate, Geography, and Southern History: The Influence of Non-Human Factors."

Charles ReithCharles Reith, host of the Southeastern Channel's Backyard Wonders, sits on a distressed cypress root along the shore of Lake Pontchartrain at Fontainebleau State Park in Mandeville discussing the condition of bald cypress trees on the north shore in an upcoming episode of the show about native plant and animal life on the north shore.
Southeastern Channel special spotlights bald cypress
Despite the battering that Louisiana's natural forests took from Hurricane Katrina, one tree that stood tall through it all was Louisiana's state tree, the bald cypress.
     From its durability, beauty and utilitarian purposes to its ecological importance, the cypress species of south Louisiana is examined in a new episode of Backyard Wonders, first airing Oct. 18 at 8 p.m. on the Southeastern Channel, Southeastern's educational cable access channel. Backyard Wonders spotlights native plant and animal life in the Florida Parishes. It can also be viewed on the Internet at www.selu.edu/tv.
     The 30-minute special follows host Charles Reith on journeys to national and state parks, swamps, wildlife refuges and even north shore residences to explore the nature of the bald cypress and how it fits into the region's ecosystem and horticultural landscape.
     "Backyard Wonders is a series that creates appreciation for indigenous natural wonders located right here on the north shore -- in your own backyard, so to speak," said Rick Settoon, general manager of the Southeastern Channel and the show's executive producer. "The show also informs viewers about preserving the natural environment and ecosystem, beginning in their own backyards.
     "This episode helps viewers appreciate what a precious natural resource we have in cypress trees, from their purposes in natural habitat to uses in furniture-making, home-building and landscape development," Settoon said.
     The program was produced, videotaped and edited by Southeastern Channel staff member Josh Kapusinski.
     "We went to great lengths and many locations to illustrate how beautiful and viable a healthy cypress ecosystem can be to the entire state of Louisiana, both economically and ecologically," Kapusinski said. "It's important for people to know this story and learn how much impact cypress has and can have in forests, along the coastline, for habitat and in backyards protecting homes."
     Reith, who has lectured on environmental management at Southeastern and other universities, travels to Fontainebleau State Park in Mandeville to observe the condition of distressed cypress groves and how the bald cypress withstood recent hurricanes.
     He discusses the virtues of working with cypress wood with furniture maker Terry Wilde of Ponchatoula and cypress craftsman Paul LaPlace of New Orleans, who builds durable homes from old cypress.
     The host visits the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park in Marrero to examine a healthy cypress forest and its attributes before moving to the Cat Island National Wildlife Refuge in St. Francisville to look at the largest cypress tree in the world and the forest's overall depletion caused by the logging industry.
     Reith then travels to a cypress restoration project site at Lake Maurepas to interview Southeastern biology professor Gary Shaffer about his federally-funded project to restore the wetlands involving cypress.
     Finally, Reith shows how cypress can help one's backyard landscape when he tours the Folsom residence of Jonathan Riley.

     Jeanfreau is the sixth teacher from the Lab School to receive this distinguished honor.
     "I was not surprised that Ms. Jeanfreau was selected to represent Tangipahoa Parish as 'Teacher of the Year,'" said Dean Diane Allen, College of Education and Human Development. "She sets high standards and challenges her students to meet those standards."
     "Becoming a teacher seemed natural to me," said Jeanfreau. "I played school my whole life."
Jeanfreau, a Southeastern graduate and native New Orleanian, has relocated to Hammond and is in the process of building her first home. She is the eldest of two children, with a brother who is a Southeastern graduate as well.

Jeanfreau has been teaching for 10 years and is in her third year at the Lab School. Prior to coming to the Lab School, she taught for seven years at D.C. Reeves Elementary School in Ponchatoula.
     "I find my greatest joy in seeing a child whose schoolwork does not come easily, and finally they understand it," said Jeanfreau. "The challenges are rewarding."
     "She develops creative assignments that provide her students with opportunities to succeed at the highest levels," said Allen. "Cheri continuously searches for activities to make their classwork relevant and interesting. We are very fortunate to have her in the Lab School."
     Jeanfreau was honored at the Tangipahoa Parish's School Board meeting in Amite and qualifies to compete at the regional level.
