Often called the Day of Ashes, Ash Wednesday starts Lent by focusing the Christian’s heart on repentance and prayer, usually through personal and communal confession. . Each year, Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent and is always 46 days before Easter Sunday

New Orleans churches adapt this Ash Wednesday
For many area Catholic churches, that was spelled out in a letter from Archbishop Gregory Aymond that listed three ways parishes can perform the ritual: reverting to the ancient tradition of sprinkling ashes on top of the recipient's head; using a clean cotton swab to mark people's foreheads; or providing a sanitizing wipe so each recipient can clean their foreheads before receiving ashes.

"The ancient rite was to sprinkle the ashes over the head, that's what they actually do in Rome," Archdiocese spokesperson Sarah McDonald said.
At Corpus Christi-Epiphany in New Orleans, the very Rev. Henry Davis will opt for the Q-tip.

The ashes are made from the blessed palms used in the Palm Sunday celebration of the previous year. The ashes are christened with Holy Water and are scented by exposure to incense. While the ashes symbolize penance and contrition, they are also a reminder that God is gracious and merciful to those who call on Him with repentant hearts.

But at the same time, he said, the theme is rising from ashes to new life.
"The word Lent means spring," Simmers said. "So that means new life."

Due to the prolonged winter weather event, MISO entered Maximum Generation Emergency Event Step 5 until Feb 17 at 1am ET across the entire South Region. This directs all Load Balancing Authorities in the affected area to implement periodic power outages -


NOLA Mayor declares
freeze emergency

NOTE: Temporary “No Parking” areas in place in the French Quarter for Mardi Gras will be canceled so that residents can park in front of their homes.
 
“There is the likelihood of water freezing in pipes on private property and causing a spike in water main breaks which will lead to a drop in water pressure,” said Sewerage and Water Board Director, Ghassan Korban. “And considering the fragile state of our water main system, it is very likely we will experience water main breaks across the city.”
Korban says the state mandates the S&WB maintain a water pressure above 20 psi. Any pressure drop below that will activate a boil water advisory which is why he urges New Orleans residents to run a spaghetti thin trickle of water from a faucet to help mitigate the possibility of water main breaks. He says businesses and schools unoccupied due to the pandemic restrictions should also run a thin stream of water.

Mystery in Motion: Masking and Spirituality in Mardi Gras
Every Wednesday, from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on February 24 through March 31, teaching artist Ausettua AmorAmenkum will lead a dance course called African Dance in New Orleans: Online Course at the Louisiana State Museum [link.mediaoutreach.meltwater.com]. The six-week course will explore African traditions and influences on New Orleans culture and dance. To register visit the course’s event page .
On Thursday, February 25 at 6 p.m., you can join A Virtual Evening with the Curators: Mystery in Motion: African American Masking and Spirituality in Mardi Gras [link.mediaoutreach.meltwater.com] via Zoom as the guest curators share highlights from the exhibition and insights into the curatorial process with Louisiana State Museum historian Karen Leathem. Registration is available on the event page
Mardi Gras exhibit opens; virtual events planned
The Louisiana State Museum, working in collaboration with the renowned Musée du Quai Branly–Jacques Chirac in Paris, has announced the opening of a new exhibition, Mystery in Motion: African American Masking and Spirituality in Mardi Gras

In addition to a stunning exhibit in the Presbytere, there also are several virtual programs offered in connection with the program.

This new exhibition inside the Presbytère on Jackson Square examines the direct influence of multicultural spirituality within the carnival traditions of Black New Orleanians. Due to the pandemic, you will not find many Black masking Indians on the streets this carnival season, but you will see their elaborate suits and learn about their use and inspiration inside the museum’s galleries. The exhibit will be on display in time for the Mardi Gras weekend, from February 15, 2021, through November 28, 2021, and will serve as the centerpiece of the museum’s planned programming to celebrate the 2021 carnival season.
“Mystery in Motion is a groundbreaking exhibition highlighting the vibrant carnival traditions of the Black community in New Orleans and it offers an excellent way to celebrate Mardi Gras safely during this current pandemic,” said Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser.
Mystery in Motion guest curators Kim Vaz-Deville, Ph.D., and Ron Bechet of Xavier University of Louisiana explore spirituality in Mardi Gras through the presentation of more than two dozen Black masking Indian suits, carnival costumes, and masking objects produced in New Orleans, juxtaposed with extraordinary African artifacts that are representative of the cultures, religions, and artistry that influenced their creation. These exceptional African objects will be on loan from the collections of the Musée du Quai Branly–Jacques Chirac and Southern University at New Orleans.
“There is so much happening on Mardi Gras day, it is impossible to take in all the sights, sounds, and experiences. The intent of the exhibition is to offer an opportunity to contemplate the spiritual dimensions of African American Mardi Gras masking that are hidden in plain view,” said Kim Vaz-Deville, Ph.D.

Additionally, several virtual events will be held in conjunction with the exhibition that are free and open to the public:

Every Wednesday, from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on February 24 through March 31, teaching artist Ausettua AmorAmenkum will lead a dance course called African Dance in New Orleans: Online Course at the Louisiana State Museum [link.mediaoutreach.meltwater.com].

"World War II Military Service as Civil Rights Activism" by Dr. Marcus Cox, Xavier
Military service during World War II and racial integration in the armed forces heightened expectations for social progress. Black men and women returned from World War II with more than a sense of entitlement to the benefits of first-class citizenship. In many cases they held a new determination to lead their communities in the quest for civil and equal rights.

This new record confirms what fans have known for years: Walter “Wolfman Washington has soul to go along with that fire.

A Year Without Mardi Gras...Who would have thought? For most New Orleanians, it is a holiday we look forward to all year. A festive couple of months filled with parades and parties culminating on the ultimate day of celebration, Fat Tuesday. I always enjoy Mardi Gras and last year was particularly fun - we headed downtown on our bikes with no plan at all and costumes thrown together with pieces from previous years. We let the day take us where it would, from the Marigny to Canal Street, with lots of stops in between, and finishing the day with food and drinks at Domenica. Innocently partying and playing, little did we know what lie ahead...But here we are, a year with no Mardi Gras and the past 12 months filled with unimaginable circumstances. Needing to distract myself, I thought it would be fun to focus on the origins of Mardi Gras in the Veneto AND highlight their fabulous wines!

Carnevale can trace its roots to pagan festivals and, as is often the case with traditional festivals, it was adapted to fit into the Catholic rituals. From feasts of indulgent food and drink, to masked disguises and the rowdiest parties of the year (sound familiar?), this celebration lasts for several weeks in February and March, ending with Martedi Grasso, or Mardi Gras, which marks the beginning of Lent. The festival supposedly began in 1162, in celebration of Venice’s victory over Aquileia. However, mask-wearing in the Venetian lagoon could go back as far as the 9th century. And just like here, Carnevale is one date—Martedi Grasso or Fat Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday. 

As for the wines, from refreshing sparkling wine to food-friendly whites, delicious rose' and rich, aromatic reds, the Veneto is a diverse, exciting and extremely beautiful wine region. Having been to the region often in the last 3 years, I'm more infatuated than ever with the people, wine, food and culture of this corner of Northern Italy. So let's raise a glass to Mardi Gras and celebrate the fantastic wines of the region. Purchase any 3 of these featured wines and get a 10% discount!  Prices range between $21-$26 per bottle.

Le Vigne di Alice Brut Osé Nature Rosé (NV) Sisters-in-law Cinzia Canzian and Pier Francesca Bonicelli started Alice (Al-ee-che) in 2004 to fulfill their dream of bottling artisanal sparkling. Joyful, caring women possessing a passion for life and fine wine, yet at the same time, they are utterly serious, precise, and determined to produce amazing wines. Cinzia logged 15 years at her and Francesca’s husbands’ famous winery Bellenda while Francesca studied at Italyʼs oldest school of enology in nearby Conegliano. These pink bubbles come with a unique twist: the pink comes from the distinctive variety Marzemino. Although the grape has been grown in the Veneto for generations, Alice is the only producer to use Marzemino in a sparkling wine - it gives both aromatics and acidity to this "Brut Nature" (bottled with no extra dosage). Its clean, fresh acidity shines brightly through the red fruit but has a lovely creaminess to round out the finish. 

Gini Soave Classico - The Gini family has roots in the Soave Classico region dating from the seventh century, and owns 25 hectares of vineyards situated on the very best hillside position of the appellation. Extremely low yields, low-interference viticulture, and devoted attention to expressing the unique character of each cru results in wines that are not only among the greatest Soaves but also among the great white wines of Italy. Their Soave Classico is certified organic and made with 70 year old vines planted in volcanic soil. Floral and delicate fruit on the nose – golden apple, pear, a tinge of ripe lemon -- it features stony minerality, bright, refreshing acidity and lingering notes of honey. It is a gorgeous wine to drink fresh but can also age up to 10 years. It has been one of my favorite wines in store for years. 

Brigaldara Valpolicella The Brigaldara winery is located just outside the town of San Floriano, in the heart of the Valpolicella region, north of Verona. It is at the entrance of the Marano valley, one of the four valleys that make up Valpolicella’s classical area, the original and oldest wine production area of the region. The family name is also historic as "Brigaldara" appears for the first time in a notary deed dated 1260. This wine is made with the indigenous organic varieties of Corvina 55%, Corvinone 25%, Rondinella 20% sourced from the Marcellise and Brigaldara vineyards at 150-200 meters above sea level. The palate is medium bodied with plenty of red fruit and a little bit of spice. The fresh acidity means it is easily enjoyed by itself or with food - and it is 100% delicious!

Guerrieri Rizzardi Clos Roareti Guerrieri Rizzardi is a historic producer that benefits from the union between two ancient Veronese wine producers - the Counts Guerrieri, owners of a centuries-old estate with vineyards and cellars in Bardolino, and the Counts Rizzardi, who acquired their vineyards in Valpolicella in 1678. I've been a fan of their wines for a few years but this 100% Merlot is new to our market. (side note - I love Italian Merlot and think it is some of the best in the world!) The Clos Roareti is a single vineyard and the grapes come from this historic monopole, Cru vineyard of Rovereti, in Negrar, Valpolicella. This 100 year-old, red clay soil, walled vineyard was planted with Merlot in the 1990s. The wine is rich, full bodied and complex with aromas of blackberries, cherries and roses with truffle and coffee notes. Dry and super smooth, it has nice acidity, balanced oak notes with a lovely long finish.

WORD OF THE DAY
PRONUNCIATION: 
[ puhg-ney-shuhs ]
ORIGIN: Mid 17th century; Latin
ETYMOLOGY: from Latin pugnax, pugnac- (from pugnare ‘to fight’, from pugnus ‘fist’) + -ious
DEFINITION:
1. (adjective) inclined to quarrel or fight readily; quarrelsome; belligerent; combative
Synonym(s): aggressive, contentious, bellicose
Antonym(s): agreeable
EXAMPLE: The man was so pugnacious, he had to be escorted out of the concert.
At the time this photograph of Canal Street was taken in 1859 by Jay Dearborn Edwards, New Orleans was the sixth largest city in America with an estimated population of 168,675 people. Only New York, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Baltimore, and Boston were larger. The spire of Christ Episcopal Church looms on the right.

The intersection of Canal Street and Bourbon still looks pretty rustic before the streetcars and omnibuses became popular and transformed the neutral ground . The streets appear to be deserted save for a single horse-draw wagon just left of center and a small carriage tethered in front of one of the shops on the far right. An unusual aggregation of three or four boys are standing atop what appears to be a barrel or water trough on the neutral ground on the left (between the two small trees).

NATIONAL RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS DAY
Each year on February 17th, National Random Acts of Kindness Day grows in popularity. It is celebrated by individuals, groups and organizations nationwide to encourage acts of kindness.
The movement of Random Acts of Kindness inspires people every day. As a favorite celebration for many, people everywhere are enjoying doing these acts of kindness. Not only do the acts of kindness bring joy to the receiver, but they spread positive reactions to the giver, too!   
“I was a recipient of the kindness but more glad to be a contributor!” (Unknown)
Our research found that the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation celebrates Random Acts of Kindness Week. The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation is an internationally recognized non-profit organization founded upon the powerful belief in kindness and dedicated to providing resources and tools that encourage acts of kindness.
In New Zealand, where this day originated, Random Acts of Kindness Day is celebrated on September 1st. However, it is also recognized by some on other days throughout the year. Nevertheless, doing random acts of kindness is something that can be done every day of the year.

A Few Quotes of Kindness:
  • “Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” (Mark Twain)
  • “No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” (Aesop)
  • “Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.” (Scott Adams)
  • “Kind words and actions can seem so small, but their effects are truly endless.” (Author Unknown)

 
NATIONAL CABBAGE DAY
National Cabbage Day on February 17th recognizes a delightful garden staple that provides some of the best recipes for the Celtic holidays coming up next month. It’s an excellent day to test your corned beef and cabbage skills alongside other delicious seasonal dishes. 
From the French caboche, meaning head, cabbage comes in a variety of forms. The cabbage family is quite varied and includes Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy, kohlrabi and kale. Cabbage is an ancient food with origins in Asia Minor (Turkey today) and the eastern Mediterranean.
French explorer Jacques Cartier was the first to bring cabbage to the Americas.
When selecting a cabbage, the head should be firm and dense. The fibrous leaves of a healthy cabbage should be shiny and crisp with no browning or bruising.
Cabbage is versatile and can be eaten raw, steamed or sautéd. A popular ingredient in Asian, German, Irish and Latin recipes, it’s a culturally diverse food. Having low calories (6 per leaf) makes cabbage a popular diet food as well. It has no fat or cholesterol, is low in sodium and carbs, and is a good source of Vitamin C.

This advertisement in L’Abeille (“Bee”) from Monday, February 22, 1830, is perhaps the earliest mention of Lundi Gras celebrations in New Orleans:

“Ballroom, corner of Orleans and Bourbon Streets. LUNDI GRAS, 22 February 1830. Grand Costume Ball. Admission: $1.50 cents for riders. Ladies will only be admitted once they have a personal ticket. Mardi Gras, 23 February 1830. Grand Ball, Costume and mask. Admission Ladies $0.50 – Riders $1.50”

I have taken the term “Paré” to mean “costume” although it has a number of other meanings and its popular use in the early 19th century was certainly different,

Of course, this does not mean that Lundi Gras and Mardi Gras were not celebrated prior to 1830, indeed the first mention of a Lundi Gras celebration has been cited as being in 1874, eighteen years after the beginning of carnival celebrations in New Orleans, but I suspect that this date refers to the elaborate arrival of Rex on the Mississippi at the foot of Canal Street. However, it is clear that New Orleans celebrated Lundi Gras and Mardi Gras in grand fashion long before conventional thinking.
February 17th Celebrated (and Not So Celebrated) History
1827
The U.S. Patent Office issues patent no. 4,669X to Chester Stone of Middlebury, New Haven County, Connecticut for the invention of a washing machine. The record of the patent was destroyed in the 1836 Patent Office fire at the Blodget’s Hotel. However, 61 years after Stone invented the washing machine, his son Marvin would invent the revolutionary drinking straw.

The Madisonville Market, put on by the Northshore Maker’s Market Foundation, is more than just a farmer’s market. It’s a place where the community can interact with local artisans, crafters, farmers, chefs and more as they share their passion for making handmade goods, homegrown produce and prepared foods. 
The weekly market takes place each Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the Madisonville Park & Playground, located on Pine Street near the 1000 block (closest cross street is Jahncke Ave.). Over 40 vendors offer hot and ready-to-eat foods, chocolates and candies, cookies and baked goods, jams and jellies, sauces and seasonings, flowers, plants, eggs, cheeses, fruits, veggies, local honey and selections by local vintners. Also, you'll find original art, handmade jewelry and accessories, hand-dyed fabrics, hand-sewn leather goods, wooden creations, soaps and body care products, health and wellness items, home decor items, baby clothes and hand sewn masks. 
Shopping aside, families will enjoy the nearby playground, and be sure to look for on-site artists and massage therapists when you're ready to take a break from your shopping. There's also a concession stand on the ballfield with bottled water and sodas.

The non-profit Northshore Maker’s Market Foundation partners with local government, businesses, and other non-profit organizations to fund local projects such as the restoration of historic sites in Madisonville, and the education of young adults ages 14-24 in the arts, trades, agriculture, and entrepreneurship through donations, fundraisers, and mentorship efforts, all with an approach of attaining sustainable solutions for healthier living.
The Northshore Maker’s Market Foundation is sponsored by Resource Bank and local small businesses such as Flamjeaux Coffee Co., a small roasting house in Mandeville.
