NATIONAL PICK STRAWBERRIES DAY | MAY 20
Every May 20th, National Pick Strawberries Day encourages us to pick some strawberries. Right about this time of year, they start coming into season.
There is something special about the taste of a sun-warmed strawberry picked straight off of the vine. Strawberries are best fresh, but they also make delicious desserts. Strawberry shortcakes or adding them to homemade yogurt and fresh jams come to mind. However, strawberries also have other good qualities.
Strawberry picking time is usually between late April and throughout the summer, depending on what part of the United States you live. When harvesting strawberries, you want to look for the bright red, firm, and plump ones.
- Strawberries are members of the rose family.
- There are about 200 seeds in a single strawberry.
- The roots of a strawberry plant are 3 inches above the soil.
- They are the only fruit with their seeds on the outside.
- Weather, variety, and ripeness when harvested determine the flavor of a strawberry.
The nutrients found in strawberries make them a good source to add to your diet. A strawberry is only 32 calories and contains about:
- 91% water
- 0.7 grams proteins
- 7.7 grams carbohydrates
- 4.9 grams natural sugar
- 2 grams of fiber
- 0.3 grams of fat
- Strawberries are also an excellent source of vitamin C. Like most berries, they are low-fat, low in calories and a good source of fiber, folic acid, and potassium. In addition, strawberries can help fight bad cholesterol and may reduce inflammation.

City of New Orleans Mosquito, Termite and Rodent Control Board to Conduct Adult Mosquito Abatement Tonight
NEW ORLEANS — The City of New Orleans Mosquito, Termite and Rodent Control Board (NOMTRCB) will conduct adult mosquito abatement tonight. Adulticide applications this evening will target adult populations of mosquitoes. Treatments will be conducted by truck from 8:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m., weather permitting, in the following areas of the Westbank:
- Algiers Point and Behrman bounded by the Mississippi River, General De Gaulle Drive, and Holiday Drive.
- Aurora Gardens and Old Aurora bounded by the Mississippi River, General De Gaulle Drive, Holiday Drive, and the Intracoastal Waterway
- Algiers and Tall Timbers bounded by General De Gaulle Drive, the parish line, US-90, and the Intracoastal Waterway.
- English Turn and New Aurora bounded by River Road, the parish line, and Woodland Highway.
We have observed elevated abundances of floodwater breeding mosquito populations in our adult traps. Increases of floodwater mosquito populations is typical after periods of drought followed by rainfall. These mosquitoes tend to lay their eggs in the moist soil in temporary pools and ponds created by rain and tend to emerge in large numbers after these areas flood. Mosquitoes can lay eggs in nearly anything that can hold water, such as tires, buckets, wheelbarrows, clogged gutters, unkept swimming pools, tarps (and other plastics), and kiddie pools.
Mosquitoes can develop from eggs to adult mosquitoes in approximately 7 days. We are asking residents to remain vigilant and to tip over or toss out any items that hold water to prevent mosquito breeding. In containers that cannot be removed, such as bird baths, sugar kettles, pools, and ponds, we urge citizens to drain and replace water weekly. We are asking all citizens to take 10 minutes a week when taking out their garbage to inspect and remove any standing water on their property for any potential mosquito breeding sites.
No West Nile virus positive mosquitoes have been detected in Orleans Parish so far this year. West Nile and other mosquito-borne viruses are more prevalent in the summer and early fall. NOMTRCB is continuing to run year-round weekly surveillance of adult mosquitoes for arbovirus testing.
Protect Yourself
- Reduce mosquito exposure by limiting outdoor activities between dusk and dawn.
- Use air conditioning or sit in the air stream of a fan outdoors when possible.
- Make sure window and door screens are in good condition to prevent mosquitoes from getting inside the home.
- Use CDC-approved repellents containing EPA-registered active ingredients such as DEET, picaridin, IR3535, or oil of lemon-eucalyptus.
- When using repellent, always follow the recommendations on the product label.
Protect Your Home
- Eliminate standing water where mosquitoes breed around your home and yard by tipping over all outdoor containers at least weekly.
- Make sure swimming pools and fountains are functional and circulating.
- Remove trash and clutter and turn over any object that can hold water, such as kiddie pools, buckets, empty trash cans, children's toys, or plant pot trays.
- Change water weekly in containers that cannot be removed such as bird baths, pet water bowls, or non-functional fountains.
- Scrub the sides of the containers to remove mosquito eggs that may have been deposited.
- Rain barrels and other water collection devices must be screened and collected water should be used within one week.
- Aerate ornamental pools, fountains, and sugar kettles or stock them with fish or mosquito dunks.
- Store outdoor toys, trash cans, empty plant vases, and other water-holding containers upside down when not in use.

LSU Softball Advances to Super Regional with 9-0 win over Southern Illinois
LSU will make its 10th Super Regional appearance and first since 2021!
The Tigers will face the No. 8 seed Stanford Cardinal in the Super Regionals May 24-26 in Stanford, Calif.
No. 11 LSU tied a season-high three home runs and recorded its 15th shutout this season in the 9-0 five-inning victory over Southern Illinois Sunday at Tiger Park, sending LSU to the NCAA Super Regionals for the first time since 2021.
LSU, who has won five of its last six games, improves its record to 43-15, while Southern Illinois’ season ends at 44-11.
“I’m so proud of this team and these seniors,” said Head Coach Beth Torina. “This senior class has done all the right things. I told them right after the game that this moment was earned and deserved for how they carried themselves. Our fans were awesome in how they treated them in this final moment here at Tiger Park. They deserve those moments because they’ve done so many things so right. To see Taylor [Pleasants] finish here at Tiger Park the way she has makes everyone in the stands, and me, the happiest we could be because she deserves it. She has been the most incredible representative of this program you could ever ask for. To see her end like that and the last ball to find Ciara Briggs’s glove, you can’t draw it up any better than that.”
LSU will make its 10th Super Regional appearance after claiming its first regional championship since 2021. The Tigers are now 65-31 all-time in the NCAA Regionals.
Lynch moved to 9-2 on the mound and turned in her sixth complete-game shutout this year and the 10th of her career. Lynch fanned six batters and allowed one hit and one walk in the run-rule win. The Tigers relinquished one run in 19.0 innings in the 2024 Baton Rouge Regional.
“I think Kelley Lynch was incredible today,” said Coach Torina. “I knew watching film that she was the best matchup against SIU. Luckily, Sydney Berzon is talented and matches up with anyone we play, but I knew Kelley would have a ton of success. I also think the brighter the lights shine, the better she is. She is built for these moments. The day she decided to join this team was a lucky day for our program.”
SIU’s pitcher Maddia Groff (30-5) was charged the loss after allowing five runs on three hits with two walks and no strikeouts thrown in 1.1 innings.
Six LSU starters recorded hits, led by second baseman Karli Petty’s 2-for-2 outing with two runs and two RBIs, including her fifth home run this year and ninth as an LSU Tiger. Shortstop Taylor Pleasants’ hit her 10th round-tripper of the season and had a team-high three RBIs, and catcher Maci Bergeron struck her third home run of the season and had two ribbies to account for the Tigers’ three longballs. Outfielder Ciara Briggs and first baseman Raeleen Gutierrez each contributed RBIs in the win.
After Lynch struck out the side in the opening half-inning, Gutierrez set the tone offensively for LSU with an RBI double, giving the home team a 1-0 advantage after the first inning.
The LSU bats erupted in the second stanza, with the Tigers scoring five runs on three hits. Petty laced a ball to right field for an RBI single, and Briggs capitalized on a bases-loaded situation by scoring a runner on a sacrifice fly. Pleasants stepped to the plate with two runners still on base and went first-pitch swinging for a two-out dinger, skyrocketing LSU’s lead to 6-0.
The Fighting Tigers added three runs in the third inning courtesy of Bergeron’s two-run homer and Petty’s solo shot, bringing LSU’s lead to 9-0.
After a leadoff walk in the opening inning, the LSU defense dominated the Salukis, retiring 14 consecutive batters until SIU recorded its lone hit of the contest in the fifth inning.
Up Next
LSU will face the winner of the Stanford Regional in a best-of-three series May 23-25. No. 8 national seed Stanford and Cal State Fullerton are the Stanford Regional Final participants.

FROM THE WILD AND CRAZY MIND
OF STEVE MARTIN –
PICASSO AT THE LAPIN AGILE
It’s not only Picasso and Einstein in the building, its two of the greatest minds of the 20th Century meeting in a Paris bar to muse on the century’s achievements and prospects in Picasso at the Lapin Agile, an absurd comedy written by Steve Martin. Directed by Anysia Genre, Picasso is Playmakers Theater’s next production which opens May 18 and runs through June 2.
In his first comedy for the stage, the popular actor plays fast and loose with fact, fame, and fortune as the two geniuses join a bizarre mix of bar patrons -- including a final surprise guest – to propel the plot along.
Picasso at the Lapin Agile runs Saturday May 18 through Sunday June 2. Saturday performances are at 7 p.m. and Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 and available at the BonTempsTix.com link below.

That game is scheduled to start at 5 p.m. ET/4 CT.

Comedy House New Orleans
The most unique comedy show in New Orleans is The Open Mic From Hell, hosted by Chris Trew (as seen on MTV, Comedy Central, America's Got Talent)
CHNO ( Comedy house New Orleans)
609-610 Fulton St
New Orleans, LA 70130
Mon, May 20
8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
(Entry at 7:30 pm)
The Open Mic From Hell is the most unique night of comedy in New Orleans.
Everything about the show is chaotic and unpredictable in the most beautifully hilarious way.
The list of performers? A total mystery.
The jokes they’ll tell? Nobody knows, not even them.
How does it work? Comedians sign-up on the list an hour before showtime. At least 13 names get pulled out of the bucket.
When a name gets pulled they come on stage and make a choice - do they do an entirely new set based on words from the audience, or a special challenge set.
Past challenges have had comics doing their set outside on the street, with noise canceling headphones on, and with a designated heckler in the crowd. We are always adding new, improved, and ridiculous challenges to the show.

We celebrate May 20 as National Quiche Lorraine Day. This versatile French delight makes it an excellent dish for any time of the day.
Quiche Lorraine has origins beginning in the rural Lorraine region of France. While it's considered a French dish, it developed during a time when the Lorraine Region was under German rule. Even the word Quiche comes from the German word kuchen, meaning cake. The Lorraine region of France is also known for many other delicious dishes such as madeleines, Jordon almonds, macarons, and Lorraine hotpot. Of course, the area is also known for its viticulture.
The original Quiche Lorraine was made with an open pie using a bottom crust with a filling of custard and smoked bacon. A cast-iron skillet was used to cook the original Quiche. Cheese was added to the recipe at a much later time.
Classic Quiche Lorraine must include eggs, heavy cream, bacon, Swiss cheese and a flaky crust. Whether you eat it hot or cold, Quiche Lorraine must stay true to the original recipe. Of course there are many different types of quiche recipes, but a recipe that contains ham, sausage, veggies or fruit is not Quiche Lorraine.
Quiche Lorraine pairs well with just about anything. Deciding what sides to serve with your quiche depends on what you. Consider serving:
- Green salads
- Roasted vegetables
- Potatoes
- French bread
- Steamed veggies
- Soup
- Fruit salad
- Rolls
Making Quiche Lorraine is extremely simple. However, the secret to a really delicious quiche is:
- 1 egg = 1 half cup of heavy cream.
- Pre-bake your crust.
- Layer your crust with cheese before pouring in your egg mixture.
- Do not overbake.

Golden Age Glamour
The story of the Calutron Girls is a remarkable chapter in the history of the Manhattan Project, offering a glimpse into the pivotal role played by young women in one of the most secretive and groundbreaking scientific endeavors of World War II.
Recruited mostly from high schools, these young women embarked on a journey that would take them to the heart of the war effort, to the Y-12 National Security Complex located at Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Tasked with operating calutrons, a type of mass spectrometer used to separate isotopes of uranium for the production of enriched uranium, these women became an indispensable part of the project.
Their work was shrouded in secrecy, with many of them unaware of the true nature of their tasks or the significance of the project they were contributing to. Working long hours in challenging conditions, they displayed remarkable dedication and resilience, often under the pressure of strict security protocols and the weight of the knowledge that their work could potentially alter the course of the war.
Despite the demanding nature of their roles, the Calutron Girls approached their duties with a sense of duty and patriotism, driven by a collective desire to support the war effort and bring an end to the conflict. Their contributions were instrumental in the success of the Manhattan Project, playing a crucial role in the development of the atomic bomb and ultimately helping to bring about the end of World War II.
After the war, many of these women returned to their civilian lives, their contributions largely overlooked and overshadowed by the secrecy surrounding the project. However, their legacy endures as a testament to the often unsung heroines of wartime science and the vital role played by women in advancing scientific discovery and innovation.

New Orleans Music Census Launches , Calling All Voices to Shape the Future of New Orleans Music Policy
NEW ORLEANS — Today marks the kickoff of the New Orleans Music Census, an ambitious endeavor spearheaded by the Mayor’s Office of Nighttime Economy to collect comprehensive data about the local music ecosystem. With the aim of delving deep into the heartbeat of our city, this initiative promises to be a game-changer, harnessing data to amplify the voices of those who shape our musical landscape. The census will be accepting responses at musiccensus.org/nola starting May 14 through May 31.
The goal of this study is to collect information that will assist with data-driven policy change so that we can better understand and support the local music ecosystem. The census will look at everyone from musicians to venue owners to sound engineers to festival buyers to vinyl manufacturers and everything in between.
“As the birthplace of modern music, we recognize how important our culture bearers are to keeping New Orleans vibrant," said Director of Nighttime Economy Howie Kaplan. "This study will serve as a roadmap for how the City can best support them.”
"It is critical that we hear from as many individuals as possible, from all corners of the local music scene," said Nighttime Economy Policy & Outreach Manager Julia Heath, emphasizing the importance of community participation. "Our office is committed to driving meaningful change that will support what our city is the most known for: its music."
In partnership with Sound Music Cities, a renowned firm known for its expertise in music ecosystem studies, the New Orleans Music Census joins a prestigious cohort of 20 cities nationwide, including iconic music destinations like Nashville, TN and Washington, D.C. This collaboration ensures that our efforts are not solitary but part of a collective endeavor to elevate the status of music as a cornerstone of our cultural identity.
By teaming up with community partners, including the Ella Project, Offbeat Magazine, StayLocal and Sinking City Records, the New Orleans Music Census will a cast a wide net, engaging with local venues, musicians, music non-profits and other stakeholders that are instrumental in our city's vibrant musical tapestry. Through interviews and surveys, Nighttime Economy aims to capture the nuanced realities of those who contribute to our nightlife economy, shedding light on both the triumphs and tribulations they face.
"The music census is a vital tool for gathering and publishing data that will inform the public and provide a pathway forward on how best to align resources that benefit the members of our art and music community and strengthen our creative industries and cultural ecosystem for all who live in and visit New Orleans,” said Co-Founder of the Ella Project Ashlye Keaton.

2024 Full Moon schedule
(all times Eastern)
- May 23 — 9:53 a.m. — Flower Moon
- June 21 — 9:08 p.m. — Strawberry Moon
- July 21 — 6:17 a.m. — Buck Moon
- Aug. 19 — 2:26 p.m. — Sturgeon Moon
- Sept. 17 — 10:34 p.m. — Corn Moon
- Oct. 17 — 7:26 a.m. — Hunter’s Moon
- Nov. 15 — 4:28 p.m. — Beaver Moon
- Dec. 15 — 4:02 a.m. Cold Moon
For instance, almost every month’s Full Moon boasts a name sourced from Native American, Colonial American, or other North American traditions, with their titles mirroring seasonal shifts and nature’s events.
Flower Moon (May): Celebrating the bloom of flowers.
Strawberry Moon (June): Marks the prime strawberry harvest season.
Buck Moon (July): Recognizing the new antlers on bucks.
Sturgeon Moon (August): Named after the abundant sturgeon fish.
Corn Moon (September): Signifying the corn harvesting period.
Hunter’s Moon (October): Commemorating the hunting season preceding winter.
Beaver Moon (November): Reflects the time when beavers are busy building their winter dams.
Cold Moon (December): Evocative of winter’s chill.
In addition, there are a few additional names for Full Moons that commonly make their way into public conversations and news.
Super Moon: This term is reserved for a Full Moon that aligns with the lunar perigee, which is the Moon’s nearest point to Earth in its orbit. This proximity renders the Full Moon unusually large and luminous. For a Full Moon to earn the Super Moon tag, it should be within approximately 90 percent of its closest distance to Earth.
Blue Moon: A Blue Moon is the second Full Moon in a month that experiences two Full Moons. This phenomenon graces our skies roughly every 2.7 years. Though the term suggests a color, Blue Moons aren’t truly blue. Very occasionally, atmospheric conditions such as recent volcanic eruptions might lend the Moon a slightly blueish tint, but this hue isn’t tied to the term.
Harvest Moon: Occurring closest to the autumnal equinox, typically in September, the Harvest Moon is often renowned for a distinct orange tint it might display. This Full Moon rises close to sunset and sets near sunrise, providing extended hours of bright moonlight. Historically, this was invaluable to farmers gathering their produce.

THE DOOKY CHASE KITCHEN: LEAH’S LEGACY cooking series celebrates Leah Chase, the “Queen of Creole Cuisine.”
The 26-part cooking series, produced by WYES-TV in New Orleans, was shot on location at Dooky Chase’s Restaurant with dishes prepared by younger generations of the Chase family who have led the restaurant since Leah’s death in 2019.
Viewers will meet Leah’s grandson, Edgar “Dook” Chase IV, who now oversees the restaurant’s kitchen; her niece Cleo Robinson, who joined Leah in the kitchen in 1980; and the restaurant’s newest chef, Leah’s great-granddaughter Zoe Chase. Paired with some of the menus are specialty cocktails crafted by Leah’s granddaughter Eve Marie Haydel, the restaurant’s beverage manager who has updated drink recipes from the restaurant’s earlier days. Granddaughter Chase Kamata narrates. Each 30-minute episode explores a new take on Creole classics and a different chapter of the restaurant’s history.
See it every Saturday at 10am & Sundays at 11:30am.
Watch on WYES-TV and stream on wyes.org/live and on the WYES and PBS Apps. Out of WYES’ viewing area? Contact your local public television station for air dates. For a limited time, see new episodes with WYES Passport.

CITY OF NEW ORLEANS ANNOUNCES MONTHLY AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT INFORMATION SESSIONS
NEW ORLEANS — On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) into law. The $1.9 trillion package is designed to directly combat the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts to states and municipalities. The City of New Orleans received $388 million in ARPA funds, and as of February 2024, $245 million has been spent and another $48.5 million has been obligated, representing 76 percent of the City’s total appropriation.
The ARPA Implementation Team will begin holding monthly ARPA Information Sessions at libraries throughout New Orleans. The information sessions will be an opportunity to share updates on ARPA funded projects, share upcoming funding opportunities, answer questions from stakeholders and connect New Orleanians with agencies who have received ARPA funds. Details on the information sessions are included below.
June Information Sessions:
- June 3, 5 - 7 p.m. East New Orleans Regional Library (5641 Read Blvd.) – Large Meeting Room
- June 4, 5 - 7 p.m. Algiers Regional Library (3014 Holiday Dr.) – Small Meeting Room
- June 4, 5 - 7 p.m. Milton H. Latter Library (5120 St Charles Ave.) – Dining Room
- June 5, 5 - 7 p.m. Robert E. Smith Library (6301 Canal Blvd.) – Meeting Room
- June 6, 5 - 7 p.m. Nora Navra Library (3001 Gentilly Blvd.) – Meeting Room
The ARPA Implementation Project Management Office (ARPA PMO) was established in the Fall of 2023 to ensure ARPA funds are spent in full compliance with federal guidelines and to support Departments in spending their ARPA allocations. The ARPA PMO provides oversight, risk assessment, management and monitoring compliance of ARPA funds to ensure projects are designed to be on time and meet goals and compliance mandates.
For further information and updates on the City's ARPA investments and initiatives, contact City’s ARPA team at arpa@nola.gov or visit the official website at nola.gov/arpa/.

LSU Athletics is proud to announce its year-long celebration of 100 Years in Tiger Stadium, highlighted by stadium upgrades, events, storytelling initiatives, and a season-long celebration throughout the 2024 campaign.
Tiger Stadium, one of America’s most iconic sporting venues, first opened its gates on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 1924. Since then, the Tigers have won 450 contests in Death Valley, which has been home to two Heisman Trophy winners, four national championship teams, and 12 SEC title-winning squads.
Included in the celebration are several upgrades to Tiger Stadium, including a new videoboard and lighting system, as well as other upgrades designed to enhance the game day experience. Other events and celebrations will be announced throughout the year.
The 2024 home schedule features several marquee matchups, including home contests against Oklahoma, UCLA, and Alabama. Information on the full 2024 schedule and season tickets will be announced in the coming weeks.
One of the most legendary stadiums in all of college football, Tiger Stadium has been called “the best place in the world to watch a sporting event” by ESPN and “the pound-for-pound king of noise in college football.”
Entering its centennial season in 2024, Tiger Stadium has been a cornerstone of LSU Athletics and the Louisiana community for almost a century, hosting numerous NFL superstars, Heisman Trophy winners, and Hall of Famers since its opening in 1924. It serves as a sporting, cultural, and commercial hub for LSU Athletics, which contributes an estimated $500 million of economic activity for the state of Louisiana annually.
