NATIONAL CROSSWORD SOLVERS DAY | December 8
On December 8 we celebrate National Crossword Solvers Day with nearly 50 million people who enjoy solving crossword puzzles.
Solving crossword puzzles is a favorite pastime for people across the globe. In fact, it is so popular, people who solve or write crossword puzzles have their own name–cruciverbalists! Today, we want to celebrate all the cruciverbalists in the world, plus encourage everyone to find a crossword puzzle and become a solver, too!
How Old Are Crossword Puzzles?
The crossword puzzle was first introduced in the New York World newspaper in 1913 by journalist Arthur Wynne. It was the eve of WWI and Wynne was looking for a new game for the FUN section in the newspaper as a way to take people’s minds off the impending war. Wynne began by creating a blank word search grid. Each grid came with a list of clues for readers to use in solving the letters. The original puzzle was named “FUN’s Word-Cross Puzzle” and was interestingly found in the shape of a diamond. A few weeks later an editor made a typo naming the puzzle “Cross-Word.” This cross mistake became a historical game changer.
The first records of crossword puzzles are historically found to originate in England during the 19th century. Most of these puzzles were easy to solve, and usually printed in children’s books or periodicals. Meanwhile, Americans were turning crossword puzzle solving into an adult pastime. Today, crossword solvers have many choices in satisfying their puzzle cravings, including celebrating National Crossword Solvers Day in December every year.
What is a Crossword Puzzle?
A crossword puzzle is a diagram of white and black squares with a list of numbered clues, running across and down the grid. The black squares are blank fillers, while the white squares are for the answers for the clues. One letter for the answer goes in one square. Each clue corresponds with numbers on the puzzle, interlocking or crisscrossing each other. The goal of a crossword puzzle is to solve the clues by filling the white spaces with the answers to the clues.
Benefits of Solving Crossword Puzzles
People who solve crossword puzzles are often more relaxed, especially when trying to solve day-to-day problems. Many use their puzzle-solving skills indirectly by approaching stressful situations similar to how they approach solving puzzles. Slow, calculated, and with thought. Studies show solving crossword puzzles regularly has several health benefits, including:
- Improving short-term memory skills.
- Assisting in developing better problem-solving skills.
- Increasing individual IQ by learning new vocabulary.
- Helping delay dementia and Alzheimer symptoms in at-risk individuals.
- Improving mood by lowering stress levels and teaching the brain to relax.
5 Fun Crossword Puzzle Facts
- Arthur Wynne, New York World journalist, published the first crossword puzzle in December 1913.
- A cruciverbalist is a person who loves to create and solve crossword puzzles.
- An estimated 50 million people in the US solve crossword puzzles.
- In 2014, Bernice Gorden became the oldest person to publish a crossword puzzle in the NY Times at the age of 101.
- Solving crossword puzzles is beneficial to a person’s brain health.

New Orleans Career Center Expanding
BIZ Site Staff
Rendering from SCNZ Architects provided by the New Orleans Career Center
NEW ORLEANS – The New Orleans Career Center says business is booming.
This year, the job-training nonprofit has expanded enrollment, added instructors and staff, increased funding, grown partnerships and enlarged the scope of its programs and pathways. In addition, the renovation of the nonprofit’s new home at 1331 Kerlerec Street is nearing completion.
This year, 382 young people are enrolled in NOCC’s career prep and technical training for high schoolers. The organization has hired 10 new people and three existing employees have been promoted. The NOCC board is also expanding: Shannon Joseph, national director of nursing workforce pipeline at Ascension Health, and architect Christian Rodriguez, principal at Eskew+Dumez+Ripple, joined the board in October. Andre Kelly, New Orleans district area manager for Associated General Contractors of Louisiana, and Melissa Sparks, vice president, talent management at Ochsner Health,will contribute their industry expertise to the board starting early next year.
This year, NOCC welcomed the LAUNCH extension academy, a year-long career prep and training program for new high school graduates that began at YouthForce NOLA. Emily Ferris moved to NOCC to continue leading the program, and was joined by former LAUNCH team members Hannah Curry, Patrice Hammond and Geraldlyn Johnson. LAUNCH moved to NOCC to expand on its previous growth: participation doubled this fall.
In addition, NOCC recently announced its LPN Apprenticeship pilot program in partnership with Delgado Charity School of Nursing and Ochsner. NOCC has already added two new instructors and begun recruiting for the first group of LPN apprentices next fall.
The Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management pathway celebrated its first RYRA Apprentice in conjunction with the Louisiana Restaurant Association. NOCC grad Ren Sommeillan-Harris recently completed a line cook apprenticeship at local breakfast hotspot Wakin’ Bakin’ and has been hired full-time as a line cook. Two LAUNCH participants, Sophia Elder and Denika Williams, have been hired as line cook apprentices at Saba.
Once in the new building, NOCC will add skilled crafts (carpentry, electrical, HVAC, welding) and digital/IT/cybersecurity pathways for high school trainees and emergency medical service training for adults.
NOCC said its partnerships with Ochsner Health and LCMC Health grew stronger and more formal this year. Both organizations continue to support the Adult Rapid Reskill training program. With Ochsner and Delgado Charity School of Nursing, NOCC recently announced the area’s first LPN Apprenticeship program. LCMC now formally includes NOCC as a workforce development partner in its annual planning and budgeting. Additional partnerships to support new training pathways in skilled crafts and digital/IT/cybersecurity are under development.
NOCC’s donor partnerships also expanded in 2022. The organization’s largest grant came from the U.S. Department of Labor, via the Delta Regional Authority, which awarded NOCC $1.28 million in career training and education funds specifically to help offset regional job losses in the energy extraction industry.
In the Spring of 2023, NOCC will move into its newly customized building, designed to replicate state-of-the-art workspaces. In this 143,000-square-foot building, the next generation of New Orleans workers can explore their options, gain technical skills and prepare to enter employment and college, confident and capable.
At 1331 Kerlerec Street, NOCC trainees – whether high schoolers, new grads or adults – will have access to clinic and hospital simulation labs, a fully functional ambulance bay, CAD lab and maker space and a commercial-grade kitchen and catering space, along with a huge outdoor construction collaboration area.
NOCC expects to move into the Kerlerec Street building in early 2023. Additional pathways, programs, and partnerships will be added and announced throughout the year.

Spanish New Orleans and the Caribbean / La Nueva Orleans y el Caribe españoles
A bilingual exhibition / Una exposición bilingüe
November 2, 2022–January 22, 2023 /
Tuesday/martes–Saturday/sábado, 9:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m; Sunday/domingo, 10:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.
520 Royal Street, Tricentennial Wing, 1st Floor
Free ticketed admission / Acceso gratuito con entrada
About the Exhibition / Sobre la exposición
New Orleans has long been identified—by locals, tourists, and historians alike—with its French heritage. A groundbreaking exhibition at The Historic New Orleans Collection restores balance to that assessment. During four decades under Spanish rule (1762–1803), the city experienced natural disaster, diplomatic tensions, and demographic transformation. Despite numerous challenges, Spanish New Orleans morphed from a poorly managed outpost on the edge of an empire to a highly urbanized colonial capital—one enriched by the racial and cultural diversity for which it is celebrated today.
Rare Artifacts come to New Orleans for Exhibition on Spanish Colonial Era
Free bilingual display on view Oct. 20, 2022–Jan. 22, 2023
Features more than 120 objects — including maps, documents, furniture, paintings, books and more — from THNOC’s permanent holdings as well as from several institutions in Spain, Mexico and the United States. The display is the first and only time this selection of objects will be presented together in one space.
In a first for THNOC, “Spanish New Orleans and the Caribbean / La Nueva Orleans y el Caribe españoles” will be presented in both English and Spanish.
“Spanish New Orleans and the Caribbean” will be on view on the first level of THNOC’s Tricentennial Wing at 520 Royal St. in the French Quarter from Oct. 29, 2022, through Jan. 22, 2023. Admission is free. Advance reservations are recommended and may be made at my.hnoc.org beginning Thursday, Oct.13, 2022. For more information, visit www.hnoc.org.

Barry Martyn
Barry Martyn has been a jazz drummer, bandleader, producer, and historian for over 65 years. Born on February 23, 1941, in London, England, New Orleans Jazz was part of his life from an early age. Barry began playing drums in 1955 and was leading his first band, Kid Martyn’s Ragtime Band, the following year. His first recordings were made in 1959 with his band. Primarily interested in New Orleans revival jazz as played by the veterans, his first visit to New Orleans on January 4, 1961, was when he looked up Bill Russell. He began studying drums under Cie Frazier and founded Mono Records, quickly becoming part of the New Orleans traditional jazz community.

The Family Line is very sweet and powerful at the same time!
The show's plot is an original performance inspired by the histories of the BK House and the 1892 General Strike,
when over 30,000 New Orleans workers walked off the job to fight for shorter work days, increased pay, and ‘closed’
union shops. It was a successful interracial organizing event that shut down the city for days before winning workers’
historic rights. The new immersive play is produced by Goat in the Road and set in the HIstoric BK House and Gardens,
so during the show, audience members will be able to explore the historic property, following the characters and storylines
they choose. The production will take place on the ground level of the courtyard and surrounding buildings, making it
accessible to all. This stately 1826 mansion in the French Quarter contains collections from the Beauregard Family and
from noted author Frances Parkinson Keyes.
Extended weeks:
December 4 - December 18, 2022
Wednesdays & Thursdays at 7:30pm / Fridays at 6 pm & 8 pm / Sundays at 2:30 pm

A Legend Comes Home...
Reggie Houston Trio
One Night Only!
Thursday, December 8th
A seventh-generation New Orleanian, Reggie Houston embraced education and followed in his parents footsteps to become an arts education advocate, teacher, and world-renowned saxophonist.
He was inspired to study saxophone at age 10, after seeing Ray Charles play alto sax at Lincoln Beach Amusement Park, where Fats Domino also performed during Reggie's childhood. Years later, Reggie would share the stage with both musical giants, and spend 22 years as a member of Fats Domino's band, before moving to Portland, Oregon in 2004.
Over the past 15 years in Portland, he would prepare Oregon high school music students to win 1st place at the prestigious 2015 National Lincoln Center Essentially Ellington Competition as a cherished music educator, in addition to performing with the Portland symphony orchestra and historic opera, as well as serving on Portland's Regional Arts & Culture Council Music Panel.
Reggie is truly born of the heartbeat of New Orleans jazz and the foundations of American music in general, having performed as a core member in the bands of Fats Domino, Professor Longhair, Dave Bartholomew, Irma Thomas, Maria Muldaur, Dr. John, Jerry Lee Lewis, Charmaine Neville, the Neville Brothers and members of The Meters, among many others. You may have heard him on three of Peter Gabriel's albums, or on recordings by The Neville Brothers, The Indigo Girls, Joan Osborne, Bruce Hornsby, and more.
Reggie’s devotion to his craft, and to sharing his deep knowledge of Louisiana’s history, musicians, and musical genres, stems from a time-honored New Orleans tradition of arts education. Nurtured by his teachers—musical giants like Edward “Kidd” Jordan, Johnny Fernandez, Danny Barker, and Alvin Batiste—the latter of whom learned at the knee of legendary musician Sidney Bechet, referred to by Duke Ellington as “the very epitome of jazz,” Reggie has now picked up the mantle to pass that knowledge on to future generations of musicians.
When funk first developed, exploding onto the scene, Reggie was there—not as an observer, but as a 13 year old musician playing his first professional gigs with legendary keyboardist David Batiste Sr. and The Gladiators, widely accepted as one of the preeminent and pioneering bands of funk.
Reggie knows the music. It is in his blood. He can trace the many, varied styles and influences of southeast Louisiana music all the way back to pre-colonial Africa. It is this knowledge, coupled with the strong arts education tradition of his hometown that gave rise to Reggie’s newest project, "Anonymous Legends: A History of New Orleans Music" — the culmination of Reggie’s life’s work.
Join us tonight for an evening with Reggie Houston and his New Orleans Trio, while he's home!
The Reggie Houston New Orleans Trio tonight features:
Reggie Houston - saxophones
Amasa Miller - piano
Glen Andrews - drums
Shows at 8pm & 10pm.
Doors at 7:00pm & 9:30pm.

The Historic New Orleans Collection
Join us in celebrating the New Orleans debut of "Notre-Dame de Paris: The Augmented Exhibition," an interactive experience that offers a glimpse into the past, present, and future of a landmark that has weathered wars, witnessed Napoleon's coronation, withstood a devastating fire in 2019, and is now undergoing a meticulous restoration to return the structure to its former glory.
Each visitor will be issued a HistoPad as their portal into the past that offers unique insight into the cathedral's historical timeline, plus fun activities for the entire family.
After stunning audiences in Paris, Dubai, and Washington DC, we are excited to be only the second US institution to host the exhibition, which will be on view through March 1 in THNOC's Tricentennial Wing at 520 Royal Street.

NATIONAL BROWNIE DAY
Each year on December 8th, brownie lovers across the nation enjoy one of their favorite baked goods on National Brownie Day.
In the United States, the chocolate brownie is a favorite, with the blonde brownie running a close second. A blonde brownie is made with brown sugar and no chocolate and is often called a blondie.
The earliest recipes for brownies we are familiar with today are found published in regional cookbooks and newspapers around the turn of the last century. The 1904 Laconia, NH Home Cookery, the 1904 Chicago, IL Service Club Cook Book, and an April 2, 1905, edition of The Boston Globe are three early examples. In 1906, Fannie Merritt Farmer published a recipe in an edition of The Boston Cooking School Cook Book.
Three myths have gained popularity over the years regarding the creation of the brownie:
- In an accidental mixing of ingredients, a chef added melted chocolate to biscuit dough.
- A forgetful cook left out the flour when mixing the batter.
- When a housewife did not have baking powder, she improvised to create this new treat. The wife decided to serve her guest flattened cakes.

1901: President McKinley in New Orleans
New Orleans has been visited by presidents on many occasions. However, the first sitting president to come to the city was William McKinley in May 1901. He is pictured here during a speech at the Cabildo, captured by John Teunnison. However, McKinley did so much more during his visit. Also in the crowd were Louisiana Governor William Wright and New Orleans Mayor Paul Capdevielle.
McKinley and his wife Ida spent three days in New Orleans, staying at the St. Charles Hotel. They visited Southern University (which was located in the 5100 block of Magazine Street at the time). They spent 2-hours aboard the riverboat St. Louis cruising the Mississippi River. They hosted a large banquet at their hotel for city and state officials that was also attended by members of the president's cabinet.
Everywhere he and his entourage went he was greeted with large crowds and cheers, accompanied by impromptu parades of citizens. Sadly, McKinley would be assassinated just four months later on September 14, 1901.

VENDOR OF THE WEEK:
Star Nursery
Orange you glad it's citrus season?! Star Nursery is a fourth-generation, family-owned and operated citrus nursery and orchard. Dawn Camardelle, the owner and fourth-generation cultivator behind Star Nursery comes from a line of truck farmers turned citrus farmers. Her parents had the idea to expand in the late 60s and early 70s, using their savings to buy trees no bigger than a pencil. It was a slow start, but the family began budding and grafting trees, eventually growing into the bountiful orchard we enjoy today. Learn more about their planting practices by clicking here. Blueberries and veggies like garlic, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, and Dawn’s favorite - creole tomatoes - are also grown on the Belle Chasse farm, though their primary products are the citrus fruits and satsumas we enjoy October through January. Find Star Nursery’s satsumas and garlic at all of our markets throughout the week!

Music and Lyrics by Irving Berlin
Book by Gordon Greenberg and Chad Hodge
Based on the Film from Universal Pictures
Holiday Inn, The New Irving Berlin Musical is a 2016 Broadway musical based on the 1942 film of the same name. The libretto is by Gordon Greenberg and Chad Hodge, with music and lyrics by Irving Berlin. Based on the classic film, this joyous musical features thrilling dance numbers, laugh-out-loud comedy, and a parade of hit Irving Berlin songs, including “Blue Skies,” “Easter Parade,” “Steppin’ Out With My Baby,” “Heat Wave,” and “White Christmas.” Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn tells the story of Jim, who leaves the bright lights of show business behind to settle down on his farmhouse in Connecticut. He quickly discovers life isn’t the same without a bit of song and dance. So Jim and Linda, a spirited schoolteacher with talent to spare, turn the farmhouse into a fabulous inn that celebrates each holiday, from Thanksgiving to the Fourth of July.

2022 New Orleans Chamber Annual Meeting with Governor John Bel Edwards
2022 New Orleans Chamber Annual Meeting with Governor John Bel Edwards
Date: December 14, 2022
Time: 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM CST
Sorry, public registration for this event has been closed.
New Orleans Chamber
Annual Meeting & Business Luncheon
REGISTRATION HAS CLOSED
Keynote Speaker:
Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards
Upon taking the oath of office, Gov. Edwards inherited the largest budget deficit in Louisiana’s history, following years of budget mismanagement, which included cuts to higher education and vital state resources and services. In 2016, the state faced a $1 billion shortfall to close out the last quarter of the fiscal year. And in 2017, the state faced a $2 billion deficit in the governor’s first full fiscal year.
Gov. Edwards and a bipartisan, bicameral group of lawmakers worked hard to stabilize the state’s budget through a balanced approach. Today, higher education funding has been restored, the state’s gross domestic product is the highest it’s ever been and Louisiana’s budget is balanced and stable.
One of the governor’s top priorities coming into office was comprehensive criminal justice reform. For decades, mass incarceration plagued Louisiana, and the state led the nation in incarceration rates. Gov. Edwards signed sweeping bipartisan criminal justice reform legislation in 2017 that targets recidivism and invests in treatment programs. In 2018, the state saw a 20 percent decrease in the number of people imprisoned for non-violent crimes. Under his leadership, Louisiana shed the title of the most incarcerated state in the country.
Gov. Edwards continues to do what the people sent him to Baton Rouge to do: Put Louisiana First. Hundreds of thousands are insured, Louisiana’s budget is stable, and Louisiana is open for business.

The Historic New Orleans Collection

On Thursday, December 15 at 6 pm we are excited to present “La Noche Buena: Spanish Christmas Music of the New World,” a free concert at St. Louis Cathedral featuring award-winning multi-instrumentalist Mahmoud Chouki " Mood " and the Krewe de Voix Chamber Choir directed by Paul Weber.

The program will explore the rich but largely unknown repertoire of the colonial-era Spanish Americas, including works by composers of Spanish, indigenous and African origins, including negrillos: Christmas songs written in African dialects with African musical forms and rhythms.
By emphasizing the tricontinental musical heritage of the Spanish New World, the program seeks to promote a greater appreciation of the artistic legacy of the Spanish Americas in conjunction with our exhibition "Spanish New Orleans and the Caribbean / La Nueva Orleans y el Caribe españoles," on view until January 22, 2023.

NOLA on Tap Returns
Yeah You Right Events tabbed to bring back Louisiana’s Largest Beer Festival
New Orleans, LA. – NOLA on Tap, the beloved beer festival in support of the Louisiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (LASPCA), will return to the festival calendar in 2023.
Yeah You Right Events, a new partnership between Top Taco and Food Fight producer Shane Finkelstein and restaurateur and Cinco de Mayo Fest producer Oscar Chimal, will take charge of the popular homebrew and craft beer festival. While some changes will be in store for NOLA on Tap, the LASPCA will remain sole beneficiary of the event.
Top Taco and Food Fight have become can’t-miss food festivals in the city. Yeah You Right Events aims to make NOLA on Tap look more like those events while still retaining many of the features that made it one of the largest beer festivals in the country.
Homebrewers will still battle it out for coveted awards and top-notch live musical acts will still grace the stages, but NOLA on Tap will now be a 21 and over ticketed event, and move from City Park on the fall calendar to Lafreniere Park on March 18th, 2023 from 2pm-7pm.
“We really wanted to take NOLA on Tap out of hurricane season,” said event producer Shane Finkelstein. “We love Lafreniere Park for the type of events that we do and its proximity to the city. It really is the perfect venue for medium-sized festivals.”
Other changes will include an all-inclusive ticket package for beer-lovers and a VIP Experience that will include a crawfish boil, open bar, signature beers, lounge seating, private restrooms, and additional food and entertainment.
Early bird tickets will start at $10 for “Designated Drivers” and $35 for unlimited beer samples, while all-inclusive VIP tickets will start at $95 and end up at $125 at the gate.
“We are so excited to have Yeah You Right Events bring back NOLA on Tap,” says CEO of the LASPCA, Ana Zorrilla. “We couldn’t have asked for a better group to bring it back after a 3 year-long hiatus.”
When NOLA on Tap was conceived back in 2009, Abita Brewing was the only brewery in Louisiana. Today, there are over 40 breweries in the state and dozens more around the Gulf Coast. The goal of Yeah You Right Events is to have every local and regional brewery represented at this year’s festival.
“From Gnarly Barley and Urban South to NOLA Brewing Company and Bayou Teche, we now have some of the best breweries in the country right in our backyard,” said Oscar Chimal.
A craft beer competition will be added to NOLA on Tap so festival-goers and celebrity judges can vote for their favorite Pilsners, Lagers, Porters, Sours, and Stouts.
Another feature added to the festival will be the Doggie Drag Show presented by Petcetera. Come out and watch our lovable pups strut their stuff on the runway and sign up to be a foster for those waiting to be adopted.
The goal is to raise $100,000 for the LASPCA so they can continue to do the important work they do in our community.
Tickets will go on sale on December 15th.

LSU will play Purdue for the first time ever on January 2 in the Citrus Bowl
LSU will cap off coach Brian Kelly’s first season in the Citrus Bowl against the Purdue Boilermakers on Jan. 2.
The game is set for Noon CT in Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida and will mark the third time the Tigers have played in the bowl game since 2016.
After dropping back-to-back games to both Georgia and Texas A&M to end the season, it was inevitable the Tigers’ lofty bowl expectations would diminish, pushing them to a Citrus Bowl berth.
