NATIONAL K9 VETERANS DAY
March 13th recognizes National K9 Veterans Day and the dedicated K9 units who’ve served since World War II.
A lot of things changed after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941. We rationed oil, leather, and rubber. The military draft men into service. Women rolled up their sleeves and built war supplies.
And dogs were called to duty. During the first world war, the United States took notice of the European use of canines as sentries, message carriers, and several other functions.
A private citizen, Mrs. Alene Erlanger initiated a program called Dogs for Defense. Along with the American Kennel Club and a handful of breeders, the group aimed to train the dogs for military use.
By November of 1942, the military prepared the first Dogs for Defense for duty in North Africa. While they were gun shy at first, they proved to be well trained.
As the war progressed, Dogs for Defense was unable to keep up with the demand, and the Remount Branch, Service Installations Divisions took over the training of the dogs.
Over the years, the military, police, and rescue have developed a variety of training methods for K9 units. Their training is tailored to meet the demands of the job, and each animal and handler carries out his or her duties to the fullest.

DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME
Daylight Saving Time begins on the second Sunday in March in the USA. The practice gives people an extra hour of sunlight in the evening by setting the clock ahead one hour on a predetermined date each year.
The practice of Daylight Saving Time (DST) advances clocks during the summer months. It causes us to lose an hour for one day. However, the practice allows people to get up earlier in the morning and experience more daylight in the evening. Typically, users of DST adjust clocks forward one hour near the start of spring. Then, they change them back again in the autumn.
The system has received both advocacy and criticism. Setting clocks forward benefits retail business, sports, and other activities by exploiting sunlight after working hours. However, the practice causes problems for evening entertainment and other activities tied to the sun or darkness. For example, farming and fireworks shows are both affected.
Although some early proponents of DST aimed to reduce the evening use of incandescent lighting, usage patterns differ greatly. Additionally, research about how DST currently affects energy use is limited or contradictory.
Problems sometimes caused by DST clock shifts include:
- Complicating timekeeping.
- Disrupting meetings, travel, billing, record keeping, medical devices, heavy equipment
- Impacting sleep patterns
Software often adjusts computer clocks automatically, but this can be limited and error-prone. In addition, programming is particularly problematic when various jurisdictions change the dates and timings of DST changes.

The beloved ogre fairy tale comes to life in this colorful, Tony Award-winning production based on the hit movie.
"Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek...."

Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's one on hand... and his name is Shrek.

LE PETIT THEATRE OPENS SPRING 2022 SEASON WITH MARCUS GARDLEY’S OBIE AWARD-WINNING STAGE PLAY, “THE HOUSE THAT WILL NOT STAND”
Termed “Sensuous, witty, heartbreaking, and uplifting” by the critics, The House That Will Not Stand, Marcus Gardley’s 2019 Obie Award-winning stage production about free women of color in early 19th century New Orleans, opens its three-weekend run at Le Petit Theatre on Friday, March 4.
The play’s story line involves a Black Creole woman named Beartrice and her three unwed daughters and an old New Orleans custom of rich white men entering into common-law marriages with young women of color. But the house that Beartrice built - on a foundation of wealth, freedom and secrets - threatens to collapse after her man mysteriously dies and her daughters realize that his money could cost them the people they love. The House That Will Not Stand is a humorous and gripping family drama told in a rich and lyrical river of words.
The show is directed by abigail jean-baptiste who recently served as assistant director of Broadway’s Jagged Little Pill. Born in New York City with family roots in Haiti and the American South, her work intersects with critical race theory and reimagines understandings of the past. She was directed shows in New York and elsewhere in the U.S. and has won a number of prestigious awards.
Staged in conjunction with National Women’s Month, the all-woman cast features Big Easy Award-winning actor Troi Bechet in the lead role of Beartrice. Portraying one of her daughters is veteran actor/director and multiple award-winner, Tommye Myrick, who returns to the stage following her critically acclaimed direction of FLY in February.
Other cast members include Tameka Bob, Grace Gibson, Jarrell Hamilton, Elexis Selmon, Laurita Marie and Eden James.
The design team includes Jungah Han (Scenic), Darolyn (Costumes), Itohan Edoloyi (Lighting), Ghazi Gamali (Sound).
Twelve performances of The House That Will Not Stand will be staged over a three-week run from March 4-6, March 10-14 and March 17-20.
Season subscriptions are available, offering 20-40% off single ticket prices and single tickets range from $35-$70 ($15 for students and 50% off for military personnel). Order online at www.lepetittheatre.com or by calling 504-522-2081.
Le Petit Theatre is located at 616 St. Peter Street in the heart of the French Quarter.

NATIONAL JEWEL DAY
National Jewel Day on March 13th recognizes the makers and the jewelers who create the special pieces that take our breath away. The day also recognizes the precious and semi-precious stones that go into beautiful pieces of jewelry. Each year, the day reminds us to wear those pieces and to appreciate the artisans who make them shine!
Jewelers offer a wide variety of gemstones. They provide their customers with custom designs and often help craft one-of-a-kind pieces. Selecting from precious and semi-precious stones takes time. Most jewelers collaborate with artisans who work with clients to bring their vision to life. They also repair and clean heirloom pieces, too.

NATIONAL COCONUT TORTE DAY
National Coconut Torte Day on March 13th recognizes a rich dessert featuring the decadent flavor of coconut and decorated with it, too! Coconut lovers may enjoy this holiday savoring the delicious taste of this rich dessert.
The word torte is German and literally means cake. Torte refers to both a multi-layered cake filled with buttercream, jam, or cream and to a rich, moist and dense single-layered cake. A torte may be made with little to no flour, but instead with ground nuts or breadcrumbs, as well as sugar, eggs, and flavorings.
Did you know that a coconut tree can grow to be as tall as ninety feet?
Coconuts were available in the United States in the early 1700s even though the palm was not indigenous to the continental United States. There are many recipes using coconut, including cakes, cookies, and tortes from that era, so it was certainly as popular an ingredient as it is today.
Coconut is rich in fiber, Vitamin B6, iron, and minerals like magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, selenium, and zinc. The oil from coconut moisturizes our skin and also helps keep our skin clear and hair silky, too.
Of course, in the kitchen, we love coconut! Beyond baked goods, coconut infuses sweet flavor to our cooking, and because the MCTs in coconut oil don’t absorb in the body as fat, it is an ideal alternative to other oils and fats.

Derby Gisclair
Group expert
Photographer Georges Francois Mugnier captured two versions of this slice of life in New Orleans around 1920 showing two men standing in front of Mendoza’s Confectionery and Oyster Saloon. Their rudimentary sign promotes the benefits of “pure milk only $0.07.” The fellow on the right appears to be the same man but has a different companion on the left. Plus the mule-drawn ice wagon is gone in the second image but the rocks on the road and gutter appear to be in the same location.
Among the many signs on display are Jax Beer, Lipton Tea, Anheuser Busch Ice Cream, Coca-Cola, Union Coffee, and Bond Bread signs are displayed in front. There is also a small sign for the telephone company. A horse drawn ice wagon is also in front.
Anheuser-Busch produced ice cream in New Orleans on February 15, 1920, shortly after the beginning of Prohibition. Their factory was located at Gravier and South Front Streets (roughly where the Four Seasons Hotel/World Trade Center is today). Sales of frozen egg nog and a chocolate-covered ice cream bar called “Smack” in the product line proved so successful that additional ice cream plants were opened in Oklahoma City and New York City, and by1926 annual sales exceeded one million gallons. However, once Prohibition ended, the decision was made to close the plants and shift focuses back to brewing beer. The ice cream business was sold in 1930.

I wanted to spend a moment on one of the most recognizable design characteristics of a Mississippi steamboat -- not its stern-wheel (or side-wheel), but its twin smokestacks. All along the New Orleans riverfront, rows of riverboats moored closely side-by-side, the smokestacks were sometimes the only way to easily identify their vessel. Rising high above the top deck and pilot house, the smoke belching from the smokestacks was also often the first indication to waiting passengers that their boat was arriving. Even on the most ornate riverboats of the Gilded Age, the towering smokestacks with their decorated central rail supports and finial-like tops could be seen from far away. But their primary purpose was not as an early warning system.
Riverboats transporting cotton had to be extremely careful that sparks and hot embers from the boat’s engines, vented by the smokestacks, did not land on the stacked cotton bales and ignite, sending the cargo and the vessel up in flames. For this reason, the smokestacks were often thirty feet or higher to release the smoke and embers high enough into the air so that they would trail behind the boat and fall harmlessly into the river. The majority of the time it worked, but there are instances where stiff winds blew hot embers back onto the riverboat with disastrous consequences.
What is often overlooked is that because of the height of the smokestacks, passing beneath low bridges often limited the range and route of many steamboats unless their smokestacks could be lowered to accommodate safe passage, as illustrated below. With sturdy hinges on the aft side, the smokestacks could be unlocked and gently lowered with ropes and poles. Once clear, the process could be reversed and the boat safely underway.
The great towering smokestacks of the Mississippi River steamboats are forever etched in our memories. In Cincinnati, where many Mississippi River steamboats were built, the architects of the Great American Ballpark paid homage to the city’s steamboat heritage by erecting a series of ornate smokestacks in their outfield. Today’s riverboats have retained their traditional smokestacks, although their function today is far less dangerous.

Jeffrey Pipes Guice is at FrenchQuarter NewOrleans.
When the kids were all fed…
And after draining the bath water…
We would all climb into my dad’s car…
And head down to the French Quarter…
My parents enjoyed all the excitement…
After working long days…
We’d head down to Morning Call…
For chocolate milk and beignets…
Morning Call… Morning Call…
Chocolate milk and beignets…
Served with lots of powdered sugar…
Made life better in so many ways…
If you grew up in New Orleans…
Car service was the way to go…
They hooked a tray to your car window…
To serve your beignets, don’t you know…
It was a big family tradition…
Always part of our celebrations…
My parents did it when they were kids…
A tradition going back for generations…
Morning Call… Morning Call…
Chocolate milk and beignets…
Served with lots of powdered sugar…
Made life better in so many ways…
Each of us got an order…
Three beignets, never four…
Even though we were full…
It seemed we always wanted more…
We dipped our fingers in the water…
To clean the sugar off our hands…
When it came to eating beignets…
We were Morning Call’s biggest fans…
Morning Call… Morning Call…
Made life better in so many ways…
Our nightly dreams always included…
Chocolate milk and beignets…

About the Exhibition
You can feel it coming. A marching band cadence echoes from a mile away. Pounding drums and bright feathers flare from the Mardi Gras Indians just up the block. Months of painstaking glittering, marching, beadwork, and brushstrokes have led up to this moment, and you are ready to burst into the street. It’s Mardi Gras in New Orleans.
On January 6, 2022, The Historic New Orleans Collection’s Making Mardi Gras exhibition rambles its way into the museum's French Quarter galleries. This showstopping display invites visitors into the sprawling dens, late-night sewing sessions, and sweaty dance rehearsals where “The Greatest Free Show on Earth” is created and re-created each year among the city’s diverse communities. Explore the vibrant expression that only Carnival season can muster, as we meet up with 19th-century float artists, dawn-breaking skeleton gangs, and homebound house-float creators—stopping to admire costumes, royalty, and hand-painted coconuts.
This is the Mardi Gras that happens before we're watching, the Carnival that will wind through the city on Fat Tuesday, far from the intemperate Bourbon Street scene. Catch it before it passes.
This exhibition is generously sponsored by Blaine Kern’s Mardi Gras World and Kern Studios.

About the Exhibition
Since 1872, revelers on Mardi Gras Day have danced to the tune “If Ever I Cease to Love” and waved to the self-proclaimed “King of Carnival” as the Rex parade wound its way through the city of New Orleans. To mark the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Rex, The Historic New Orleans Collection unveils Fit for a King, an exhibition showcasing jewels, favors, doubloons, float designs, and more from THNOC’s Rex-related holdings, which number in the thousands.
Presented in conjunction with the large-scale Making Mardi Gras exhibition at 520 Royal Street, Fit for a King is part of THNOC’s spring exploration of the creativity that Carnival season conjures.

"Rex: The 150th Anniversary of the School of Design"
Feb 2 - Dec 11
All day
Louisiana State Museum exhibition of artifacts, focusing on the costumes of the krewe’s royals, with newly discovered treasures recently acquired from European collections.
|
The Louisiana State Museum is preparing a major exhibition to open in the Presbytère Museum on February 1, 2022, commemorating the milestone 150th anniversary of the Rex Organization, the foremost New Orleans Mardi Gras krewe. Since its founding in 1872, Rex has taken on an unparalleled leadership role in Carnival, setting the standard of excellence for the dozens of krewes formed since and even inspiring the formation of similar civic organizations in other states. The Rex parade was the first daytime parade in modern Carnival, and the man selected as the monarch of the organization, known also by its incorporated name, the School of Design, serves as the King of all New Orleans Carnival.
The exhibition will tell the story of Rex using the Louisiana State Museum’s unrivaled collection of artifacts, heavily focusing on the sophisticated costumes of the krewe’s kings, queens, and courtiers. The Museum has always prioritized preserving the artifacts of Rex and made a concerted effort beginning in the 1920s to gather costumes directly from krewe members. This collection now totals over 60 royalty and krewe costumes and gowns as well as dozens of sets of rare crown jewels. The exhibition will also feature newly discovered treasures from the krewe’s past, recently acquired from European collections, along with rarely seen artifacts borrowed from private and institutional collections.
The exhibition will also discuss the vital civic function that the krewe has always performed since it was founded in part to boost economic development in the city during the tumultuous years of Reconstruction following the Civil War. After Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans in 2005, Rex assumed a crucial philanthropic mission through its Pro Bono Publico Foundation, to date funneling over $10 million to the New Orleans Public School system through the contributions of the krewe’s members. Numerous kings and queens of the krewe have been honored by municipal and humanitarian organizations for their broad-ranging support of essential community causes.
An exciting feature of the exhibition will be a float built inside the Museum by the krewe’s float builder, Royal Artists, demonstrating the techniques and materials used to construct the elaborate historically-inspired floats for Rex. Rare vintage films of Rex parades of decades ago will bring the spectacle to life, and lively time-lapse video showing the float-building process will shine a spotlight on the creativity and skill that go into crafting these rolling tableaux.
A host of complementary educational programs and lectures are being planned, including hands-on activity days for families as well as sensory-friendly programs for individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities.

LIVE MUSIC FROM THE BRASS-A-HOLICS at the Jazz Playhouse
Since 2010, the Brass-A-Holics have been taking their unique sound around the world. Steeped in the deep musical culture of New Orleans, the band brings a heavy dose of go-go funk to the New Orleans brass sound. In a blending of musical cultures stemming from cities separated by more than a thousand miles, a Brass-a-Holics live show takes the New Orleans brass band culture and infuses it with the electricity of Washington D.C.'s go-go. The resulting sound is both captivating and unique.
*Preferred Seating for small parties only. Parties of 8 or more people must inquire via email to [email protected] to reserve.*
**Special Event valet rate - $5/vehicle. Please provide ticket to event staff for validation. Garage entryways located on both the Bienville and Conti sides of the hotel.

Friday, March 18, New Orleanians will have more than 25 more choices for Fish Fry Fridays The Fish Fry Fridays campaign, which began in 2020, will serve as a fundraising event to benefit Hospitality Cares a partnership between Louisiana Hospitality Foundation and United Way of Southeast Louisiana (UWSELA). Participating restaurants will donate $1 per fish fry entrée sold each week through April 15.
“We are so excited to be able to bring this fundraiser back for a third year,” said Jennifer Kelley, Louisiana Hospitality Foundation Executive Director. “This community is there for each other through more ways than just financial support—it’s the comradery and friendships that sustain us through hard times, but this event has been a winner all around. I’d like to thank our sponsors, restaurants owners and chefs, and our patrons for coming together for our community.”
Hospitality Cares is a crisis grant program offering varying resources, including emergency financial assistance to individuals working in the hospitality industry – one of the region’s largest employment sectors. The emergency grants award up to $2,500 to eligible employees at hospitality businesses running active United Way workplace campaigns in Jefferson, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa and Washington parishes. The funds provide temporary assistance during times of crisis to cover basic financial needs, including housing, medical and utility bills.
The Fish Fry Fridays campaign was initially launched during Lent 2020 to help hospitality workers who were laid off during the pandemic. It raised over $12,000 from restaurant sales and a sponsorship from TABASCO®, who also sponsored the campaign in 2021 and will again sponsor it in 2022. They are joined by New Orleans Fish House who will offer discounts to participating restaurants for their seafood features.
“This campaign has not only benefited the seafood industry, but it is giving an economic boost to our restaurant industry and provides New Orleanians with a sense of normalcy,” said Phil DeGruy, New Orleans Fish House sales manager. “We are proud to be a part of helping to strengthen the hospitality industry.”

The AFNO wanted to celebrate the Louisiana Francophonie by inviting French speakers and non French speakers of New Orleans to take the floor and encourage them to create a dialogue between words of the French language and their cultures. This festival will be shaped by collaborative activities open to all, workshops for children and adults, and even a concert with Bruce "Sunpie" Barnes and other artistic surprises!

The Caravane des dix mots invites French speakers from all over the world to take the French language and give their definitions of 10 chosen words, definitions that depend on one's experience, history or even the other languages one speaks! This project is shared with French speakers from Quebec, Benin, Burundi, Egypt, Togo, China and even Belgium and Romania, who will also give their definitions of divulgâcher, décalé, ébaubi, époustouflant, farcer, kaï, méduser, pince-moi, saperlipopette et tintamarre.

Dew Drop Inn Announces Spring Concert Series
In Mandeville
|
The historic Dew Drop Jazz & Social Hall in Mandeville, built in 1895, is back this spring with a full season of concerts presenting traditional jazz and blues, funky swamp pop and Cajun music—with a few surprises along the way. For the six Saturday night evening concerts a variety of genres will be showcased by some of the region’s most notable musicians.
March 5 | Dr. Redwine’s Grape Stompers, led by acclaimed clarinetist Ben Redwine, will make their Dew Drop debut with a tribute to famed New Orleans clarinetist Barney Bigard, who toured for years with Louis Armstrong. Redwine and his band will recreate the music of the Dew Drop’s heyday and will be joined by several swing dancers who will kick off the season in a unique and joyful way.
March 19 | Jazz vocalist Ingrid Lucia and her all-star band will present a special evening of vintage jazz and blues, with music from the 1920s and 30s, along with new, original tunes. Lucia’s voice takes listeners back to a bygone era, while her distinct phrasing notes a more classic jazz ambience that is both appealing & enthusiastic.
April 2 | Camile Baudoin & Friends, reliving a few Radiators classics and new music too with celebrated musicians Reggie Scanlan, Frank Bua & John Fohl all together on one stage making this special concert one to remember for a long, long time!
April 16 | Gregg Stafford & His Jazz Hounds, led by renowned Preservation Hall musician and educator Gregg Stafford, will present a night deeply steeped in traditional New Orleans jazz.
May 14 | The unique jazz folk stylings define Sarah Quintana & Friends. A singer-songwriter from New Orleans with a background rich in jazz, folk and popular music, Quintana is a devoted guitarist with a voice that is instantly recognizable. Her versatility has led her from singing on the streets of Provence with a traveling circus to the stages of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and even New York’s Lincoln Center with a swing band.
May 21 | Two unique bands will perform one set each, starting with Doucet Frères, featuring the famed brother duo of Michael and David Doucet, of the Grammy-Award winning Cajun band, BeauSoleil. The Doucet family name is known for making Cajun music a popular genre within the world music scene. The second set will showcase Michael Doucet’s new Cajun dance band, Lâcher Prise Trio, with Doucet on fiddle, and both Sarah Quintana and Chad Viator on guitar. The name Lâcher Prise means to “let go” and blends Cajun, swamp soul, and Gypsy tunes that celebrate love and the simple joys of having a good time.
Presented by the Friends of the Dew Drop, these six Saturday evening concerts will run from 6:30 to 9:00p.m. and will feature home-cooked food for purchase provided by the Ladies of First Free Mission Baptist Church, located next door. Soft drinks, water, beer and wine will be available for purchase. Admission for each concert is $10 cash per adult. Students and children may attend free of charge. No outside food, drinks or pets are allowed and lawn chairs may be used outside the hall on the grounds.
The history of the Dew Drop Inn begins in 1885 when a group of civic-minded African American residents of the Mandeville, led by the late Olivia Eunio, created the Dew Drop Social and Benevolent Association. A decade later, in 1895, the organization laid a cornerstone and constructed a small wooden building two and one-half blocks from Lake Pontchartrain on Lamarque Street.
The Association, like many created among African American residents following the Civil War, had chiefly benevolent goals—to care for the sick, provide help with funeral arrangements, food & temporary housing—all during a time when Black residents could not obtain various types of insurance. Today, known as one of the oldest, unaltered rural jazz halls in the U.S. the not-for-profit organization, Friends of the Dew Drop, schedules and manages the hall’s performances and educational activities.
