NATIONAL MOONSHINE DAY

On June 5 we toast National Moonshine Day to recognize a beverage with a notorious record of blurring the lines of history and the law, turning ordinary men (and women) into criminals and common criminals into legends. Follow along as we discuss how the history is just as strong as the drink.

Traditionally, moonshine is an illegally distilled whiskey spirit mostly made from a corn mash and typically produced by an individual illegally without a permit. Also known as white lightning, mountain dew, homebrew, hillbilly pop, rotgut, and moonshine has served as a means for people to acquire liquor and make a living. 

Whiskey Rebellion of 1791

The Whiskey Rebellion of 1791 in the US occurred when the federal government placed a tax on distilled spirits. During this time, farmers made whiskey from their excess grain to earn income. When the government began taxing the farmers, the farmers decided to begin making moonshine as a way to defy the new tax. Sadly, the rebellion was short-lived, but the illegal production of moonshine did not stop. 

Prohibition

Distilling skills first came to the US with the Scotch-Irish as they settled in Virginia. Temperance laws and prohibition legislation were passed in several states before the Civil War, but it wasn't until the turn of the century that the temperance movement picked up steam. By the time the 18th Amendment was ratified early in 1919, over half the country was dry.

Prohibition lasted 13 years and created a demand for moonshine, unlike any that may have existed before. Moonshine became big business overnight for moonshiners and bootleggers. 

Modern Moonshine

These days, moonshine in the legal sense has a following. Small-batch distilleries are producing legal moonshine giving moonshiners a new name. Bringing moonshine out of the woods has allowed for moonshiners to legally go up against other whiskeys for a place on the shelf. Many are packaging their homebrews in canning jars, embracing their rich history allowing moonshiners to experiment with flavor. In fact, moonshiners are branch out with food pairing similar to that of wine and beer.

5 Moonshine Trivia Ideas

  1. Shepherd was Uncle Jesse's CB handle on the Dukes of Hazzard. Sweet Tillie was the name of his Ford LTD/Galaxie in the first episode - his moonshine runner.
  2. The X's on the moonshine jugs symbol represents the number of times a batch was run through the still. If marked XXX, the moonshine is pure alcohol.
  3. What do Esther Clark, Edna Giard, Stella Beloumant, Mary Wazeniak all have in common? They were all bootleggers. Bootlegging was an equal opportunity profession.
  4. Lavinia Gilman was a bootlegger, too. At 80 years old, she ran a 300 gallon still in Montana. The judge suspected her son was the real culprit, though.
  5. During prohibition, there were many ways to transport bootlegged moonshine. Faking a funeral was a convenient ruse to move the product. Out of respect for the dead, of course, those with the badge were reluctant to stop a funeral procession.

CHEERS TO MOONSHINE DAY 

There are so many ways to celebrate National Moonshine Day, especially if your family has a whispered histories of the white lightning. Can you imagine sharing a story about a legendary bootlegger hiding out near your home? These stories make great social media posts so don't forget to tag #NationalMoonshineDay so we can enjoy those stories, too! As always, remember to drink responsibility and never drink and drive. 



TRAFFIC ADVISORY: Poydras Street Improvements Continue with Additional Lane Closure Between Loyola Avenue and Convention Center Boulevard

 

NEW ORLEANS — The City of New Orleans today announced that starting at 7 a.m. on Wednesday, June 5, the Department of Public Works (DPW) contractor Hard Rock Construction, LLC will begin additional roadway improvements on Poydras Street. This includes implementing an additional lane closure between Loyola Avenue and Convention Center Boulevard to undertake street repairs. Public safety is top priority; signage and traffic control measures, such as barrels and fencing, will be onsite to direct drivers and pedestrians.

 

Poydras Street Improvements (Loyola Avenue – Convention Center Boulevard)

Construction crews will systematically remove and replace asphalt, focusing on one travel lane at a time. Crews will begin with the parking and outermost travel lane, moving river bound from Loyola Avenue to Convention Center Boulevard (see map). Work hours are from 7 a.m. until sunset, Monday through Friday, with some weekend work possible. All travel lanes, both river bound and lake bound, are slated to be repaved by August 2024, weather permitting.

 

Poydras Street Improvements (S. Claiborne Avenue – S. Liberty Street)

Simultaneously, crews will continue the process of removing and replacing concrete panels on the section of Poydras Street between S. Claiborne Avenue and S. Liberty Street (see map). Crews are currently wrapping up concrete repairs in the outer lanes and will switch the lane configurations next week to perform work in the inside lanes.  

 

Throughout this process, two lanes will be maintained for vehicular traffic in both river bound and lake bound directions. However, due to a 30-inch water leak on the river bound side of Poydras Street at Lasalle Street, two lanes will need to be closed for safety measures. The street will remain closed until further notice as repairs are carried out in collaboration with the Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans (SWBNO). Efforts will be made to minimize disruptions, with crews aiming to impact only one travel lane in each direction at any given time. Travelers should anticipate delays and consider alternative routes accordingly.

 

Work along this stretch of Poydras Steet began on May 20, 2024, and is expected to continue through the end of June 2024. The scope of work includes concrete panel repairs, pavement restoration, sidewalk and driveway apron repairs, installation of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant curb ramps and restriping high-visibility crosswalks. 


For questions about this advisory, please call 504.658.ROAD (7623) or email roadwork@nola.gov.

Alison Lefevre

A native Louisiana artist, transplanted to Lafayette for middle and high school, to New Orleans for college, and then swept up to New York City post-Katrina, Alison Lefevre has established herself as a well rounded live and studio vocalist, pianist, and composer. Alison began her musical career at age two on top of a coffee table in her great grandmother’s New Orlean’s home during one of their annual Christmas parties. Belting out the songs of Judy Garland and Billie Holiday for the rest of their family’s social events began the groundwork for what has become an entrancing voice. Alison continued to perform and mature as mainly a vocalist–winning talent competitions in middle and high school–so that by the time she moved to New Orleans to begin her college career, she was able to slide right into the music scene. She enjoyed performing and recording with musicians like Brian Seeger, Ellis Marsalis, Brian Coogan, Joshua Paxton, David Ellington, Theresa Anderson, and Charles Dennard. In her academic life, she studied vocal and piano performance under UNO's Terrance Blanchard, Harold Battiste, and Leah Chase-Kamata, which continued the groundwork for her musical endeavors.

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 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.

What does "anesthesia" mean?

Numbness


anesthesia Pronunciation: ˌanəsˈθiːziə

Definition: a medical practice involving the use of drugs to prevent pain or sensation during surgery or other medical procedures.

Origin: The word "anesthesia" originated from the Greek word "an-" meaning "without" and "aisthēsis" meaning "feeling". It was first used in the early 19th century to describe the state of insensitivity to pain.

Example: After administering anesthesia, the patient fell into a deep sleep, completely unaware of the surgical procedure taking place.

Numbness, in the context of anesthesia, refers to the absence of sensation or feeling. Anesthesia is commonly used in medical procedures to induce numbness in specific areas of the body, ensuring that the patient does not experience pain or discomfort. Through the administration of anesthesia, the nerves are temporarily desensitized, resulting in a state of numbness that allows surgeons to perform operations without causing pain to the patient. Thus, "anesthesia" means the induction of a state of numbness or insensitivity to pain through the use of drugs or medical techniques.

NATIONAL GINGERBREAD DAY | June 5

'Tis the season to celebrate National Gingerbread Day. While that may sound strange for June 5, gingerbread lovers across the country celebrate by sampling their favorite recipes and gingerbread treats. Whether in the form of bread, cakes, bars, biscuits, or cookies, gingerbread is delicious any time of year.

Gingerbread is a sweet food that typically uses honey or molasses rather than just sugar and is flavored with ginger. The term "gingerbread" originally referred to preserved ginger, later referring to a confection made up of honey and spices. Gingerbread foods range from a soft, moist loaf cake to something closer to a ginger biscuit. 

It is believed that gingerbread was first brought to Europe in 992 by an Armenian monk. He lived there for seven years teaching gingerbread cooking to the French priests and Christians until his death in 999.

Sources indicate that in 1444, Swedish nuns were baking gingerbread to ease indigestion.

In the 17th century, gingerbread biscuits were sold in monasteries, pharmacies and town square farmers markets. During the 18th century, gingerbread became widely available.

5 Gingerly Facts

  1. Ginger can be traced back to the 11th century when monks experimented with spices, where ginger was used to make a molded cake.
  2. Gingerbread during Medieval was served as a sweetmeat at the end of a meal to help with digestion of food.
  3. It is said Queen Elizabeth I (September 7, 1533 - March 24, 1603) served her guests miniature gingerbread versions of themselves. 
  4. Gingerbread houses seemed to have originated in Germany during the late 16th century and became popular in Europe during the 17th century.
  5. Cutout gingerbread was was used to teach children the alphabet during the 17th century.

The Top 5 Longest Words in the English Language

English is a language rich in vocabulary, with thousands of words to choose from to express even the most complex of ideas. And among these words, some are particularly impressive because of their sheer length. Here are the top 5 longest words in the English language.

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (45 letters)

This word refers to a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica particles, such as those found in volcanic dust. It is the longest word in any English language dictionary and was originally coined as a joke.

Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia (36 letters)

This ironic word is a fear of long words itself. It’s also known as sesquipedalophobia, which is a lot easier to pronounce.

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (34 letters)

This word was popularized by the 1964 musical movie Mary Poppins. It’s used to describe something that is extraordinarily good, although the actual meaning is unclear.

Floccinaucinihilipilification (29 letters)

This word means “the act of estimating something as worthless.” It’s often used to criticize something that someone else has said or done.

Antidisestablishmentarianism (28 letters)

This word refers to opposition to the disestablishment of the Church of England as the official state church. It was originally coined in the 19th century during a political debate in England.

In conclusion, the English language is full of incredibly long and complex words that can sometimes seem overwhelming to learn. While these five words might not be the most practical for everyday use, they’re certainly a testament to the creativity and diversity of the English language.

This 1,700-Year-Old Wine in Sealed Bottle is Still Drinkable : The Speyer wine bottle is the oldest known wine bottle in the world. Dated to 325 – 359 AD, the ancient wine has remained sealed in its bottle for nearly 1,700 years. Despite the fact that it would no longer be alcoholic and it is unlikely to be very palatable, researchers say it is still drinkable!The 1.5 litre bottle of ancient wine was discovered in the tomb of a Roman noble couple near the city of Speyer in Germany in 1867. The bottle was one of 16 found in the tomb, but the only one that still contained wine. It had remained preserved thanks to a wax seal and a large amount of olive oil. Scientists believe the wine was made using a blend of local grapes, herbs, and olive oil. But it now looks like a very unappealing sludge with a resin-like mass and cloudy liquid and it has lost all of its ethanol content. Nevertheless, researchers have said it is probably safe to drink.

By the early 1920's the Assunto Family were based in New Orleans and have contributed to the music and culture to this day.

1859: New Orleans Free Market

On August 16, 1861, the New Orleans Free Market threw open its doors for business, but initially was engaged in distributing food donations to the families of Confederate soldiers. Located at the foot of Canal Street near the levee, the building was made of cast iron similar to the nearby Morsque Building and was completed in 1859, initially designed to serve as a water works (notice the row of pipes in the foreground) but was pressed into service following the start of the Civil War.

Members of the local Merchants Exchange donated $1,800 (about $60,000 today) to purchase much needed corn meal, rice, sugar, molasses, and a wide variety of vegetables, meat, and fish. Although only open twice every week, the Free Market served nearly 2,000 families until it was shut down after the capture of New Orleans by Farragut in August of 1862. Ownership of the facility was returned to the city, but the idea of a water works station was shelved. Being situated in between the streetcar tracks at the foot of Canal Street, the city decided not to retain the building and it was demolished in 1874.

Our live music classes with local musicians and culture bearers, as well as our overall emphasis on music appreciation is what makes our lessons stand out among the rest!

Starts at The Contemporary Arts Center!

6-7pm Intro to Swing

For total beginners to swing dancing or dancing of any kind. Also for those looking to refresh their basics and learn some ragtime dances. We use these pre-swing era dances to teach beginners how to step on rhythm, step on rhythm while connected to another person, how to connect in order to lead or follow, you'll learn to syncopate your footwork, and then we'll slowly start to let go of one hand and create the beginnings of what will eventually be a bad-ass swing out.

7:30-8:30 Lindy Hop Vocab - Intermediate Level

This class is gonna give you some must know moves, some technique, some philosophy, and of course, we'll continue to clarify and polish up your swing outs.

No partner required to take either of these classes. Come alone or with friends!

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, June 3

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.

City of a Million Dreams

Film: The Mystery of the New Orleans Jazz Funeral

Thursday, June 13


Why do we dance for the dead? To most people, jazz funerals are a mystery.


The marching band leads the procession of grief to the slow dirges, sorrow songs, and after burial the jazzmen kick into up tempo parade anthems, the soul’s “cutting loose” for the second line of dazzling street dancers. How did these funerals arise? What do they tell us about New Orleans today? In “City of a Million Dreams”, a documentary film, Jewish writer and videographer Deb Cotton and prolific clarinetist Michael White take us on a journey from the jazz funeral's roots in the danced memory of enslaved Africans through its integration with European marching bands, from Katrina through the recovery of parading culture, celebrating its complex modern legacy and searching for the soul of New Orleans.


This is an in-person, paid event. The screening will be followed by a talk from filmmaker Jason Berry.


Date: Thursday, June 13

2024 Full Moon schedule

(all times Eastern)


  • 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.


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.

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.

By Jeff Nowak, WWL Radio Sports

Another big piece of the Saints 2024 schedule has officially been finalized, with dates and times established for each of the Saints' three preseason games.

The team will have its first two preseason games out west due to their training camp being held in Irvine, California.


Here's how the slate shapes up:

- P1, Aug. 10 (Saturday): Saints at Arizona Cardinals, 7 p.m. (FOX/Gray TV)

- P2, Aug. 18: Saints at San Francisco 49ers, 7 p.m. (FOX)

- P3, Aug. 25: Tennessee Titans at Saints, 1 p.m. (FOX/Gray TV)

The Saints preseason opponents were announced with the rest of the 2024 schedule earlier in May, but exact dates and times for two of the matchups were left TBD. As is typical with the preseason, start times and days are all over the map. The Saints will kick off their preseason slate with a Saturday night game, and also start an hour later than a typical Sunday kick in the finale, hosted at the Caesars Superdome.
