Analog-to-Digital Coupons Available Now
As technology moves forward, Katrina evacuees living in isolated areas or who can't afford cable
TV may face another challenge within the next year: pony up and pay the cable guys, or face
your tube going blank. After February 17, 2009, all television stations will broadcast only in
digital. If you use "rabbit ears" or a rooftop antenna with your analog television, take action to
continue receiving television broadcasts.
The Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration
(NTIA) has launched the Digital-to-Analog Converter Box Coupon Program. All U.S. households
are eligible to request up to two coupons, worth $40 each, to be used toward the purchase of up
to two digital-to-analog converter boxes. A converter box is a one-time purchase that will allow
your analog TV to work after February 17, 2009 to continue receiving television broadcasts.
Certified TV converter boxes are expected to cost between $50 and $70. Coupons are free, but
supply is limited. Coupons will be mailed to you by the Federal Government. Here is the official
link to the consumer site to order coupons: www.dtv2009.gov.

Hard Times
by Michelle Brown, age 14
Some are homeless
some are weak
some search for food
throughout the week
Some are hopeless
some are sad
some are sick,
won't get better yet
It's a cold world
times are hard
it's not easy -
heavy on the heart
You can't tell me
that I'm a fool
because I know
what I've been through

New Orleans Arts Market Has Eye Candy
Eye candy may be the first thought that enters your mind if you stroll into
a maze and taste flavors of art that may have anyone who appreciates real
art feeling like a sugar-hyped kid in a candy store. But maybe that's what
the producers of this mind-absorbing art feast had envisioned.
To stumble upon the New Orleans Arts Council's monthly Arts Market
of New Orleans throws anyone into a frenzy of colors and excitement
usually found in more elegant exhibitions.
Impulsive "window shoppers" may be blown away by a surprising array
of artisans with their selection of unique, traditional, classic, contempo-
rary, abstract, clay, wood, glass, and any other type of work.
The Arts Market of New Orleans is free to the public and held on the
last Saturday of every month in Palmer Park at S.Claiborne and S.
Carrollton Aves.
