NATIONAL PARENTS’ DAY
National Parents’ Day honors all parents on the fourth Sunday in July. No matter where our parents may be, this day serves to celebrate their important role in our lives.
In May we celebrated mothers, and in June we celebrated fathers. It follows that in July we can bring all our parents together and show them some appreciation all at once.
Parents play a vital role in the lives of children. From our birth, parents protect, teach, provide, and serve as role models. As part of a family, we look to them for guidance. We mirror their behavior and learn to be a core part of our communities.
Throughout our lives, our parents lead us to be independent thinking individuals. As many of us know, those efforts can be challenging. The world is changing as quickly as they grow. Often the sleepless nights and worry seem endless. On this particular Sunday, we honor all parents who do everything to raise and protect their children.

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 and on 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?

Tiny new brewery for St. Charles Ave. out to create ‘craft beer corner’ with pub next door
Humid Beer Co. is a tiny new taproom brewery on St. Charles Avenue in the Lower Garden District. (Staff photo by Ian McNulty, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune)
A tiny new brewery taproom is taking shape on St. Charles Avenue with a big dose of New Orleans culture inspiring its beers.
Humid Beer Co. is the creation of Connor Martinez, a New Orleans native and former music booking agent who is turning his passion for home brewing into a new business.
He’s now turning a townhouse storefront at 1728 St. Charles Ave. into his taproom. The address, formally home to the sweet shop Pralines by Jean, is adjacent to the Avenue Pub.
“The buildings are really close to each other, we’re going to make a little craft beer corner here,” Martinez said.
Renovations are underway and equipment is coming in soon, with an opening slated in late fall.
In addition to the new brewery Ecology Beer Works now nearing completion a few blocks away in Central City, he’s excited for the combined draw in the area for beer lovers.
Humid Beer Co. will have 15 taps serving very small batch beers, made 10 kegs at a time.
Martinez is focused on local ingredients to create beers that tell stories about his hometown. Working on such a small scale, he says he’ll be able to present some different takes and tastes.
“It’s a very New Orleans focused concept, with beers based on New Orleans culinary and cultural ideas,” he said. “We’re not making your typical line up of beers.”
For example, a beer called Northern Most Point, a reference to the city’s reputation as the northernmost point of the Caribbean, will be a Belgian wheat beer made with key lime zest and annatto seed for a taste of the islands.
“There are different ways to engage people and tell these stories,” he said.
Humid Beer Co. will make pizza in a style similar to Neapolitan pies, but with toppings that will change frequently. Many will riff on New Orleans food, with a crawfish etouffee sauce or a fried seafood Lenten time version among the ideas.
The taproom has about 1900 square feet of interior space. With sidewalk tables under its gallery on St. Charles Avenue and a deck in back, it will have about 55 seats total.
Martinez said he's excited to join this stretch of St. Charles Ave., where his grandmother once ran a dress shop outfitting debutantes for their big nights. He's also eager to join the New Orleans brewing industry, and says other brewers have been supportive of his new endeavor. One of them, Robert Bostick at Brieux Carre, is even the contractor for Humid Beer Co.'s renovation through his company Bostick Builds.
"It's a very tight knit community here," he said.
Other new breweries in the works include Ecology Beer Works at 1401 Baronne St., in the former All Relation brewery, slated to open in late summer, and Calliope Beer Works at 8801 Oak Street, in the former Cowbell burger spot, which will be a brewpub and is slated to open in August.

Directed by Kelly Fouchi
Mainstage, Run time: ~2.5 hrs, Rated: G
It's time to carry the banner on your stage with Disney's Newsies! Set in turn-of-the century New York City, Newsies is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a band of teenaged "newsies." When titans of publishing raise distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions and fight for what's right!
Based on the 1992 motion picture and inspired by a true story, Newsies features a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken (Little Shop of Horrors, Sister Act) and Jack Feldman and a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein (Kinky Boots). Featuring the now classic songs “Carrying the Banner,” “Seize the Day,” and “Santa Fe,” Newsies is packed with non-stop thrills and a timeless message, perfect for the whole family.

SHREK THE MUSICAL, JR. TO MAKE BEASTLY APPEARANCE AT PLAYMAKERS THEATER
This summer, ogres, ogresses, and all manner of fairytale creatures will roam Playmakers Theater as Shrek The Musical, JR. enchants audiences. Directed by Jennifer Patterson, the delightful show proves beauty is in the eye of the beholder and is based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film and fantastic Broadway musical. The show runs July 22-August 6.
“It's a big bright beautiful world as everyone's favorite ogre, Shrek, leads a cast of fairy tale misfits on an adventure to rescue a princess and find true acceptance,” says Patterson. “Part romance and part twisted fairy tale, Shrek JR. is an irreverently fun show with a powerful message for the whole family.”
Assistant director for the show is Kathryn Hatch and musical director is Grier Patterson. The musical originally slated for this summer, What a Glorious Feeling, was canceled due to unforeseen circumstances. Season tickets will be honored for Shrek JR.
Performances are Saturdays at 7 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m., July 22-August 6, 2023. Tickets for Shrek The Musical, JR. are $30 for adults and $15 for children and available at BonTempsTix.com.
Shrek The Musical, JR. is presented through special arrangement with Music Theater International (MTI).
Supported in part by a grant from the Louisiana Division of the Arts, Office of Cultural Affairs Development, Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism in cooperation with the Louisiana State Arts Council, and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.

What is the modern equivalent of the word “sith”?
Since
The modern equivalent of the word “sith” is “since”. Since is used to refer to a period of time that has passed since a certain event or point in time. For example, you might say “It’s been five years since I last saw you” to mean that it has been five years since you last saw someone. In the same way, “sith” referred to a period of time after a certain event or point in time. It was used in Old English to refer to a particular period of time that had passed. Although the exact meaning of “sith” has been lost to the ages, the modern equivalent is “since”.

What does "juxtapose" mean?
Compare
juxtapose pronunciation: juhk-stuh-pohz
Definition: to place side by side, especially for comparison or contrast.
Origin: The word "juxtapose" comes from the Latin word "juxta," meaning "near," and "ponere," meaning "to place."
Example: The artist juxtaposed bright colors against muted tones to create a striking contrast in her painting.
"Place side by side" is a simple and concise definition of the word "juxtapose." It refers to the act of placing two or more things next to each other for the purpose of comparison or contrast. This can be done in various contexts, such as in art, literature, or photography. By placing things side by side, we can better understand their differences and similarities, and gain a deeper appreciation of each individual element. The concept of juxtaposition is often used to create an effect of tension or surprise, as when unexpected elements are placed side by side.

NATIONAL VANILLA ICE CREAM DAY | JULY 23
Vanilla Ice Cream Day on July 23rd tips its hat at the second most popular flavor in America. Take a bow, vanilla. I scream, you scream, we all scream for…VANILLA ICE CREAM!! Of course, the day is part of National Ice Cream Month and not too far behind National Ice Cream Day.
Since Americans love vanilla ice cream so much, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that vanilla is the most common flavoring in North America for ice cream. In fact, many people consider vanilla ice cream to be the default flavor.
Many may be familiar with Thomas Jefferson’s vanilla ice cream recipe. The third president of the United States may have discovered a love for the vanilla flavor while visiting France. While he wouldn’t have been the first to savor the delicious taste of vanilla ice cream, Jefferson enjoyed jotting down recipes. The same applied to ice cream. He also produced a handwritten copy of a vanilla ice cream recipe in the 1780s. Only ten copies remain. In fact, the Library of Congress houses one copy that has a cookie recipe on the flip side. Today, the ice cream parlor at Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota serves the same recipe so that anyone can have a taste.

About the Exhibition
In 1776, many colonists made a great leap to a new idea: maybe they could do without monarchy and aristocracy. If they could unite with one another, “the common people” of the colonies might form a more equal society and government. American Democracy: A Great Leap of Faith, a traveling exhibition from the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, examines the continuing evolution of America’s experiment in a government “of, by, and for the people.” The exhibition will be on view at The Historic New Orleans Collection from June 17, 2023, to October 8, 2023. Admission is free.
Drawn from the permanent exhibition of the same name at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, American Democracy explores the challenges and triumphs that generations of Americans encountered as they sought to create a government based on the sovereignty of the people. It explores the history of citizen participation, debate, and compromise from the nation’s formation to today.
Featuring engaging multimedia experiences, immersive design, and artifacts from the Smithsonian Institution, state historical organizations, and The Historic New Orleans Collection, American Democracy demonstrates that self-government relies on every citizen’s active participation in the quest to form a “more perfect union.” Exhibition sections explore the origins of American democracy, the changing identity of eligible voters, the machinery of democracy, the right to petition and protest beyond the ballot, and the rights and responsibilities of citizens.
American Democracy is sponsored locally by the 2023 Bienville Circle, J.P.Morgan Private Bank, and WDSU-TV.
A companion exhibition, “Yet She Is Advancing”: New Orleans Women and the Right to Vote, 1878–1970, is on view through November 5, 2023. Expanding on a 2020 virtual exhibition on THNOC’s website, the exhibition tells a decades-long story through objects, images, documents, and interactive displays—and through the words of the New Orleans women who for nearly 100 years persisted in their struggle to obtain the vote

The New Orleans Saints will begin their 57th NFL season on July 24 when the team's veteran players report to training camp at the team’s training facility in Metairie, multiple sources said this week.
The team's rookies will report the previous week.
An official announcement by the team with practice times and availability to the public is expected to be made at a later date.
The Saints will conduct their official conditioning test July 25 and conduct noncontact practices in jerseys and helmets for the next two days, as mandated by the NFL’s official ramp-up period. The team will practice in helmets and shells on July 28-29 and move to full pads on July 31 after an off day in the schedule.
In Week 2 of their exhibition schedule, the Saints will conduct joint practices against the Los Angeles Chargers. The workouts will be Aug. 17-18 at the Chargers training camp site in Costa Mesa, California.
The Saints will practice against the Houston Texans from Aug. 24-25 in Metairie before the teams’ final preseason game on Aug. 27. These practices will not be open to the public.
The Saints will reduce their roster to the regular-season maximum of 53 players on Aug. 29.
This will be the seventh consecutive year that the Saints have held training camp in Metairie. They held camp in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, from 2014-17 and at Millsaps College in Jackson, Mississippi, from 2006-08.

JULY 26: California Dreaming - Dreamy Selections from the Sunshine State
AUGUST 30: Coast to Coast, wines from the Mediterranean
Friday Night Wine School - Provence, So Much More than Rosé
Friday, July 28, 2023, New
Just back from my most recent trip to Provence, I'm always inspired to educate people on the many wine treasures the region has to offer. Provence has the quintessential Mediterranean climate - warm sunny days followed by cool nights with very little rain during the summer months. Mistral winds and sea breezes keep the humidity level to an almost arid dryness making it the ideal climate for grape growing. While everyone knows Provence for its lovely rosé, the refreshing whites and full-bodied reds are often overlooked. Tonight we'll feature wines from some of our favorite producers on the Cote d'Azur including one that we visited on our recent trip. Use this link to sign up for the event, Provence

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — It was announced Tuesday, July 11, by the City of New Orleans that the Department of Public Works will auction off several cars that have been abandoned, booted, or ticketed.
City officials say the inventory of 89 vehicles was taken from public roadways after their owners left them on the side of the road.
“Abandoned vehicles in the right-of-way create safety hazards by obstructing drivers’ line of sight and limiting pedestrian access. Removing these eyesores from public spaces demonstrates our commitment to improving the quality of life for all residents throughout New Orleans,” said Sarah McLaughlin
The auction is set for Thursday, July 27 at 10200 Almonaster Avenue starting at 9 a.m. Residents who are interested in attending are encouraged to register and take a look at the inventory on the Slidell Auction website a day in advance.
Auction winners will have until Monday, July 31 to remove the vehicles or they will become subject to daily storage fees.
New Orleans residents can continue to report abandoned vehicles by calling 311.

OnPath Federal Credit Union is proud to announce their partnership and designation as the FIRST and ONLY Juntos Avanzamos nationally accredited credit union in Louisiana. This prestigious recognition is a testament to OnPath FCU's groundbreaking commitment to financial inclusion to meet the needs of the underserved, immigrant, and specifically Hispanic people in the greater New Orleans area.
Juntos Avanzamos, Spanish for Together We Advance, is a national network of 131 credit unions dedicated to serving low-income Hispanic communities and providing safe and affordable financial services to immigrant consumers. Like Juntos Avanzamos, On Path FCU believes that the contribution of immigrant and Hispanic consumers to the local and national economy is significant, although the community is often underbanked and taken advantage of by predatory lenders and other finance companies.
"The credit union mission is based on serving the underserved, and banking the underbanked," said OnPath FCU President and CEO Jared Freeman. "As our community changes, we must change with it,
if that mission is to remain at our core. We are proud to lead the way for the financial inclusion of our entire population in South Louisiana.” Freeman goes on to say "We intended to be the leader in meeting the needs of low-income & immigrant consumers in general and of the Hispanic community - in particular. This is what financial inclusion is all about, and we are focused on OnPath to lead the way."

BREES DREAM FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES NOLA PICKLEBALL FEST
Annual event to be held at the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center to serve as a major fundraiser for the Brees Dream Foundation
Brittany and Drew Brees announced today the creation of The NOLA Pickleball Fest, an annual event benefiting the Brees Dream Foundation. The inaugural event will be held August 10-13, 2023, at the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. Brees and the staff of the Brees Dream Foundation have been working closely with local tourism leaders at the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation, New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, and New Orleans & Company, as well as national companies Joola and The Kitchen, to organize all aspects of the event.
“Brittany and I could not be more excited to bring the first annual NOLA Pickleball Fest to New Orleans,” says Drew Brees. Combining one of the fastest growing and most enjoyable sports alongside a city that knows how to host a party will make this one of the premier events of the summer. It will be great food, music, events, and plenty of pickleball all inside the Convention Center, as we crown amateur champions and raise proceeds for the Brees Dream Foundation that will go towards our ongoing efforts in New Orleans.”
The NOLA Pickleball Fest (“The NOLA”) benefitting the Brees Dream Foundation is a unique, festival-style pickleball tournament featuring 24 tournament quality PickleRoll courts, live music, a celebrity exhibition match featuring Drew Brees, VIP experiences and much more. The NOLA will have three divisions of round robin play: women’s doubles, men’s doubles, and mixed doubles for skill levels 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, and 5.0+. There are two brackets to compete in: Open and 40 yrs. old and over. Featured matches will be played on a center court with grandstand seating as well as Kern Studio Mardi Gras floats for VIP viewing. Join us for an unforgettable experience and the ultimate pickleball party. To sign up or for more information, visit www.drewbrees.com.
“As pickleball participation continues to skyrocket, we’re honored and excited to be working with Drew and his team to create an annual pickleball festival that creates tourism for a higher purpose,” said Jay Cicero, President/CEO of the Sports Foundation. “The Brees Dream Foundation will distribute funds raised from the event to partner charitable organizations along the Gulf Coast. Given the combination of the sport’s popularity and charitable aspect of NOLA Pickleball Fest, it will surely be a hit among amateur and seasoned Pickleball players alike.”
“When it comes to sports, New Orleans is known for hosting iconic championship moments. With our singular, authentic culture and welcoming people, 26,0000 hotel rooms within two miles of the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, and unmatched hospitality, New Orleans is truly Built to Host,” said Walter J. Leger III, President & CEO of New Orleans & Company, the official destination sales, and marketing organization for the New Orleans tourism industry. “Crowds have always been drawn to New Orleans for sporting events of all types and sizes and now it is an honor to add the annual NOLA Pickleball Fest. This event will not only provide a critical summertime tourism boost for the New Orleans economy, but also help the entire community served by the Brees Dream Foundation.”
“The New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center is delighted to welcome the inaugural NOLA Pickleball Fest to New Orleans this August,” said Convention Center President Michael J. Sawaya. “Our involvement with NOLA Pickleball supports our mission to host events that positively impact the local economy. With the passion of the Brees Dream Foundation and the diligent support of local tourism leaders, there is no doubt the tournament will grow into the best tournament in the nation and benefit our community for years to come.”
Pickleball originated in the Pacific Northwest in the 1960s and combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong. It is the fastest-growing sport in the United States with annual increases of millions of people playing, according to a 2023 participation report by the Association of Pickleball Professionals.
Registration for the tournament opens in early June. To register to play, visit www.drewbrees.com. To volunteer, visit www.gnosports.com/volunteer.

Monday, August 21, 7 pm - Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Christina Rossetti, and the English Sonnet Tradition
This lecture will cover the English Victorian poets Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Christina Rossetti and their contributions to the English sonnet tradition. Attendees will explore how Barrett Browning's Sonnets from the Portuguese and Rossetti's Monna Innominata are groundbreaking sonnet sequences which offer women's voices responding to and reimagining the sonnet traditions named for Petrarch and Shakespeare.
Dr. Cognevich has a master's in English literature from the University of New Orleans and a doctoral degree in English literature from Louisiana State University. She taught English literature and writing for more than a decade. Her scholarly specialties include Romantic and Victorian poetry. Her doctoral thesis focused on the late-18th-century British sonnet revival and poet Charlotte Smith, who was one of William Wordsworth's early inspirations.

Final Four Rematch: LSU WBB To Face Virginia Tech in SEC/ACC Challenge
Story by Zack Nagy
© Provided by LSU Country on FanNation
LSU will host Virginia Tech in a Final Four rematch on November 30 at 8 p.m. CT as a part of the ACC/SEC Challenge.
The Tigers and Hokies met last season in the Final Four as LSU came from behind in the fourth quarter to clinch a spot in the national championship game. The Tigers trailed by nine to start the fourth quarter but outscored the Hokies by 16 in the final quarter to claim LSU’s first national championship game berth. LSU defeated Iowa two days later for the national championship.
LSU will enter the season with multiple players returning from the program’s first ever national championship team along with a talented list of newcomers that include the nation’s No. 1 rated recruiting class and the top two players from this year’s transfer portal.
Related video
Forward Angel Reese headlines LSU’s returners as the defending Most Outstanding Player from the Final Four. She set the NCAA record with 34 double-doubles throughout the season as a dominant scorer and rebounder. Reese led the SEC in both scoring (23.0 ppg) and rebounding (15.4 rpg).
Guard Flau’jae Johnson is another returning starter for the Tigers who earned SEC Freshman of the Year. In her first year of college basketball, Johnson averaged 11.0 points per game and 5.9 rebounds per game. Guard Kateri Poole started in LSU’s final five games throughout the championship run, bringing a defensive physicality to the court while having a knack to knock down big shots for the Tigers.
LSU will also bring back contributors like forward Sa’Myah Smith who was named to the SEC All-Freshman and guard Last-Tear Poa. Both Smith and Sa’Myah played critical and productive minutes off the bench in the national championship win over Iowa.
The Tigers top-rated incoming freshmen class is headlined by guard Mikaylah Williams who was named the 2023 Morgan Wooten National Player of the Year as the top high school player. Forward Aalyah Del Rosario, the nation’s No. 7 rated player, played in the McDonald’s All-American game with Williams and the Tigers also bring in freshmen guard Angelica Velez who was named Tennessee’s Division II-A Miss Basketball and guard Janae Kent.
LSU was active in the transfer portal, adding guard Hailey Van Lith and forward Aneesah Morrow who were ranked No. 1 and 2, respectively, in ESPN’s transfer portal rankings. Van Lith averaged 19.7 points, 4.5 assists and 3.2 rebounds last season, earning AP All-America honorable mention honors while leading Louisville to the Elite Eight. Van Lith and Iowa’s Caitlin Clark are the only two players in the country who averaged at least 19 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists throughout the year. Morrow was a lethal scorer (24.7 ppg) and rebounder (12.2 rpg) at DePaul. Her and Reese were the only two players in the country to rank inside the top 10 in the nation in both scoring and rebounding.
