Giraffes, Zebras and Peafowl, Oh My!

Doesn’t matter whether you’re young or simply young at heart; a fall trip to Global Wildlife’s 900-acre “African savanna in Louisiana” should be high on your list of must-do experiences. From September through December, the wildlife preserve near Folsom, LA, buzzes with excitement during the breeding and birthing season.

As unique as human fingerprints, no two Grant’s zebras have the same striping pattern. A group of zebras is called a dazzle, and with good reason. When they huddle together it’s difficult for predators to pick out an individual zebra to prey upon. Prior to giving birth, mother zebras will separate themselves from the herd. After the foal is born, mom and baby will study each other for hours, memorizing each other’s striping pattern and imprinting vocalizations and scents. This defense mechanism helps mom and foal to reunite quickly if they are separated during a chase. The Grant’s zebra herd has grown by two this autumn, and watching the new foals follow their mom, prancing around on spindly little legs, is sure to bring smiles of delight.  

At Global Wildlife’s Visitor Center, a trio of new peachicks religiously follow their mother, Pearl the Indian blue peahen, who is teaching them how to forage for insects and other foods. Pearl faithfully sat on a nest she built on the ground in the Kangaroo Walkabout, and this is her first clutch of chicks to hatch. Pearl communicates with her babies using clucks and calls, encouraging them not to wander far from her protective gaze. Sharp-eyed guests might catch a glimpse of them when they visit!

Mother Grant's zebras identify their babies by memorizing their stripe patterns, which are as unique as a human's fingerprints.

"Former" serves as the contemporary equivalent of the term "erstwhile," both conveying the idea of something that was once in a particular state or role but is no longer so. While "erstwhile" often carries a literary or formal tone, "former" is more commonly used in everyday language, making it accessible to a broader audience. This transition reflects the evolution of language, where simpler terms often replace more archaic ones. Whether referring to a former president, a bygone era, or past relationships, "former" effectively communicates the sense of something that has changed or is no longer in existence.

‘Beams & Brews’ showcases restored Magazine St. boutique hotel

CityBusiness staff reports

Grab a beer on Thursday and witness a historic property return to commerce in New Orleans.

The Preservation Resource Center’s Beams & Brews series continues Thursday, Sept. 19, at 5:30 p.m. with a tour of 1212 Magazine St., an 1860’s Greek Revival building in the Lower Garden District that has been restored, renovated, and transformed into the Heirloom Bed & Breakfast.

The boutique hotel, formerly the Green House Inn, is scheduled to open in October.

Beams & Brews, originally known as Renovator’s Happy Hour, started in the early 2000’s as a fun event that happens about six to eight times a year, and offers attendees an opportunity to view more than 50-year-old, historic renovation residential and commercial projects at various stages of construction, hear from the project’s managers, and enjoy drinks.

“The PRC has been proud to produce this event for more than 20 years to show how restoration and adaptive reuse projects can be possible and be beneficial to our city and communities. These properties are being saved, restored, and put back into commerce, and those are achievements to celebrate,” said Michelle Shoriak, PRC Director of Conservation and Education.

Tickets are $10 for non-PRC members; admission is free for PRC members. Tickets can be purchased online at the PRC Beams & Brews website. The 2024 “Beams & Brews” series presenting sponsor is JLV Construction, along with additional contributions by True Title, and Urban South Brewery.

JLV Construction is also the lead general contractor on 1212 Magazine St., the subject of Thursday’s Beams & Brews. The local custom residential and commercial builder joined forces with Stay Heirloom, CICADA, Fricker Historic Preservation Services, and Webre Consulting, to tag team the renovations of the property.

The 10,000-square-foot building, on 19,000 square feet of land with a backyard pool and hot tub, was purchased in late 2022 by Top of Form

Daniel Glaser and Frank Glaser who own Heirloom and Stayloom – a business that specializes in renovating and renting luxury homes in historic neighborhoods. The Glaser’s acquired the property from preservationist and owner Jesse LeBlanc II in two separate transactions totaling $2.7 million, according to a NOLA.com article.

One of the most notable aspects of the renovation is the full restoration of the building’s iconic front façade. The property, which once featured enclosed porches, now displays its original double gallery Greek Revival design. The grand arch between the double parlors and the crown molding were found beneath the dropped ceiling and restored. A new roof was also installed. Tax credits were utilized to preserve and restore the historical integrity of the building while updating it for modern use.

“Before the purchase, the property did not have its best foot forward and the shape it was in almost completely covered up its original character,” said Donna Fricker, owner of Fricker Historic Preservation Services, LLC, a historic tax credit consulting firm for owners, contractors, and architects across the state. “The entire renovation team, overseen by Heirloom, really went above and beyond what they were required to do to restore 1212 Magazine’s historical elements and original charm and update it for current commercial use. The exterior is extremely appealing, the streetscape has improved, and this building can now return to benefit our economy.”

Key challenges included selective demolition to retain intricate historical elements, such as plaster work and millwork, while ensuring structural stability. Despite these challenges, JLV Construction completed the project ahead of the planned nine-month timeline.

“The work that we put into bringing a historic property back into commerce is an amazing feeling, and we are proud of the team effort at 1212 Magazine,” said JLV Construction CEO Kirk Williamson. “We are excited to once again be a part of the Beams & Brews series, and we look forward to showing off the finished product.”

JLV was founded in New Orleans in 2010 by current director of operations and former CEO Jose Villeda. The company began as a two-person operation committed to rebuilding New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and has grown into a DBE-certified residential and commercial contracting firm with 23 employees.

Historic renovations are not new to JLV Construction. In February, Beams & Brews visited a JLV Construction restoration at 1816-1818 Fourth St. – an 1880’s Central City double shotgun that was transformed into two independent rental units. JLV also led the renovation of 3301 Chippewa St. (renovation of a 19th century corner bakery into an architecture studio); 3233 Loyola Ave. (renovation of a 19th century store into a shotgun house complex); and 3707 S. Saratoga St. (renovation of a 20th century two-story house); and 1121 Kerlerec St. (renovation of a 20th century Creole cottage); to name a few.

“The Beams & Brews series is right up our alley and our business, and makes sense for us to be a contributor and presenting sponsor,” said Williamson. “We enjoy renovating and restoring properties and sharing our story with hundreds of people interested in construction, architecture, and preservation. They are our kinds of people.”

Shoriak said Beams & Brews events average about 150 people in attendance. The last Beams & Brews event was in May when attendees toured the Common House at 420 Julia St., the site of the former Children’s Museum. In March, Beams & Brews also visited the old Holy Cross school in the Ninth Ward that has been transformed into an apartment complex. That event featured the highest Beams & Brews attendance with close to 300 people.

“We really enjoy this event. It’s what the PRC is all about, and it’s a lot of fun,” said Shoriak. “Beams & Brews also brings together like-minded people in the industry, so that contractors new to the field can learn from experienced contractors completing these restorations.”

JEFFERSON PERFORMING ARTS CENTER

6400 AIRLINE DRIVE | METAIRIE, LA

Metairie, Louisiana)—Jefferson Performing Arts’ upcoming production of School of Rock: The Musical will feature 36 local performers, half of whom are local middle and high schoolers. Several cast members will perform with real instruments live onstage at Jefferson Performing Arts Center September 13-22, 2024.

Based on the 2003 movie, School of Rock: The Musical tells the story of Dewey Finn, a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school who turns his class into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band. With music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, the musical features 14 new songs and songs from the original movie.

Adult principals include Nathan Parrish as Dewey Finn, Rachel Looney as Rosalie Mullins, Melissa McKenzie as Patty Di Marco and Daniel Rubio as Ned Schneebly. Youth principals include Andrew Letellier as Zack Mooneyham, Merah Benoit as Katie, Drago Han as Lawrence, August Doussan as Freddie, and Olivia Yi as Summer Hathaway.

Nathan (Dewey) and four youth performers will be playing their instruments live on stage: Merah Benoit (Katie) will play bass guitar, Drago Han (Lawrence) will play keyboards, August Doussan (Freddie) will play drums, and Andrew Letellier (Zack) will play guitar. Some of the youth musicians are making their acting debuts (August Doussan) while others are seasoned performers (such as Merah Benoit) who are learning their instruments for their roles in this show.

Brief Bios of Principal Youth Performers:

Merah Benoit’s (Katie) performance career began as a Lost Boy in the mainstage JPA production of Peter Pan at the age of 5. She went on to perform in other JPA productions including Sound of Music (Marta). She is an emerging film and TV actress with a resumé that includes working with many award-winning artists and directors including Will Smith in “Emancipation”, Renee Zellweger in “The Thing about Pam”, Jon Batiste’s music video “Freedom” and her most recent role as Emma Stone’s daughter in “Kinds of Kindness” by award-winning director Yorgos Lanthimos.

August Doussan (Freddie)  has been learning from local legendary drummers like Johnny Vidacovich and Stanton Moore, from an early age. At age 8, he joined School of Rock Metairie/New Orleans and quickly rose to become a drummer for the prestigious School of Rock House Band.

Playmakers Theater been producing terrific shows from Covington’s Sans Souci Forest since 1955. This Saturday we raise the curtain on our 70th season with the uproarious comedy ‘Til Beth Do Us Part, by Jones Hope Wooten, the same team that wrote 2023’s sellout hit, The Savannah Sipping Society. Directed by Derek Thrush, the madcap comedy revolves around an ambitious, conniving assistant who attempts to take over her harried boss’s business and her husband.

‘Til Beth Do Us Part is a side-splitting comic romp about careens around the strained marriage of Gibby and Suzannah, a couple who have allowed their 27-year marriage grow stale. When new assistant Beth steps in the fireworks begin. Whether you’re married, single, rethinking your divorce or currently being controlled by someone up to no good, you’re sure to enjoy this family friendly, laugh-out-loud comedy.

The cast features Joanna Parr, Shawn Patterson, Stephanie Sayles, Jen Patterson, Laura Hayes, Daniel Jenkins, and Nada Elkassouf. Assistant director is Jen Patterson.

There will be some important changes at Playmakers Theater beginning this season. Evening curtain times will be 7:30 p.m. instead of 7 p.m. to help patrons navigate bridge construction traffic. We will also be adding Friday evening performances. And Playmakers will once again offer reserved seating.

Season tickets are available for $130 and on sale now at BonTempsTix.com at the “Get Your Season Tickets Now” link below. Individual tickets for ‘Til Beth Do Us Part are $20 and also available at the BonTempsTix.com “Get Your Tickets Now” link below.
