 Influence
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.

  Legendary
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

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.

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.

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;

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,

 Charles
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.

Lab School's Jeanfreau named Tangipahoa Elementary 'Teacher of
the Year'
Cheri Jeanfreau, fourth grade teacher at the Southeastern Laboratory
School, has been named Tangipahoa Parish's elementary school 'Teacher
of the Year.'
The award is presented to elementary,
middle, and high school teachers who exemplify excellence in the teaching
of humanities subjects such as English, foreign language, history,
social studies, folk life, and art or music history, or who have participated
in public humanities programs.
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.
She graduated in 1996 with an undergraduate
degree in elementary education (mild/moderate), and in 2001 with a
master's degree in administration (elementary principalship). 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.
