SAFETY TIPS 

These hot temperatures can become life-threatening if the proper precautions are not taken. Residents can visit weatherwise.nola.gov to find localized updates on weather conditions when considering outdoor activities. 

Residents are advised to take the following precautions to prevent health emergencies due to overexposure to extreme heat: 

• Stay indoors in air conditioning during the hottest parts of the day 
• If you must perform outdoor activities, do so early in the morning or late in the evening 
• Wear light, loose-fitting clothing 
• Avoid unnecessary exposure to the sun 
• Be sure to drink plenty of water, and do not wait until you’re thirsty 
• The very young, the elderly and those with chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease, are at a greater risk for heat-related health issues and should take extra precautions to stay cool and hydrated 
• Check on neighbors, children, the elderly and chronically ill to make sure they are okay, especially every hour if power outages occur. 

Children and pets should never be left unattended in a vehicle. Even in 70-degree weather, the interior temperature of a vehicle can increase rapidly to over 100 degrees in just 20 minutes. Cracking a window does not help. Leaving a child or pet unattended in a vehicle often leads to a life-threatening emergency. Anyone who sees a child or animal unattended in a vehicle is urged to call 9-1-1 immediately. 

For more information about heat-related illnesses, tips on staying cool and to receive up-to-date alerts, please visit ready.nola.gov.

NOPD Announces Significant Reduction in Crime Throughout City in 2024

NEW ORLEANS – Today (August 16, 2024), NOPD Superintendent Anne E. Kirkpatrick announced that the NOPD has seen a significant reduction in criminal incidents in the City of New Orleans to date in 2024.

“I am pleased to announce that the New Orleans Police Department has achieved a significant reduction in crime,” Kirkpatrick said during a press event held at the NOPD’s Special Operations Division. “This marks a pivotal moment in our ongoing efforts to ensure the safety and well-being of our community.”

Kirkpatrick was joined at the event by New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell; New Orleans CAO Gilbert Montano; Louisiana State Police Col. Robert Hodges; New Orleans Public Safety Director John Thomas; New Orleans Criminal Justice Commissioner Tenisha Stevens; members of the New Orleans City Council, Orleans Parish District Attorney Jason Williams; representatives from federal, local and state law enforcement partner agencies; and local community partners and leaders.

The following information, complied by the NOPD Analytics Division, shows a marked decrease in multiple crime categories to date in 2024. These include:

• A 24-percent decrease in persons crime overall
• A 43-percent decrease in violent crime (murder, nonfatal shootings, and armed robberies)
• A 37-percent decrease in murders, seeing 51 incidents to date as of today.
• A 71-percent decease in the number of juvenile victims in homicide incidents.
• NOPD Homicide Section currently at a year-to-date solve rate of just over 65 percent.
• A 43-percent decrease in nonfatal shootings, with 107 fewer shooting incidents than at this point in 2023.
• A 39-percent decrease in the number of nonfatal shooting victims, showing 124 fewer victims year to date.
• A 46-percent decrease in armed robbery incidents
• A 49-percent decrease in carjacking incidents
• An overall decrease of 25 percent in property crime incidents, which includes
• A 46-percent decrease in armed robbery incidents
• A 49-percent decrease in carjacking incidents
• A 44-percent decrease in vehicle burglary incidents, which also includes a 44-percent decrease in the number of firearms stolen in vehicle burglary incidents
• While many property crime categories have seen decreases, the NOPD has seen an 11-percent increase in theft incidents, as well as a 21-percent increase in shoplifting incidents.

Additionally, NOPD median emergency response times currently stand at 9 minutes and 16 seconds, while median nonemergency response times are currently at 11 minutes, 32 seconds. The combined median response time for all calls for service for July 2024 – 13.1 minutes – was the lowest monthly median response time since March 2021.

These reductions were noted recently in a survey released by the Major Cities Chiefs Association, listing New Orleans as one of the top 70 cities in the country experiencing a marked decrease in violent crime. The U.S. Attorney General’s Office has also made note of this decrease.

Today’s event was not a celebration of statistics, Kirkpatrick said, but a moment for the NOPD to acknowledge the reality behind the figures.

“Each statistic represents a grieving family, a life tragically lost and a community affected,” she said, “We must honor that loss as we discuss these numbers today.”

Over the past year, Kirkpatrick noted, the NOPD has implemented several key strategies to focus on violent crime. These strategies have served to aid in the marked reductions.

“We’ve been able to make significant progress by concentrating our efforts on the areas and individuals that pose the greatest threat to our community,” she said, “These intentional strategies include enhanced data analysis, community engagement, and partnerships with local, state, and federal agencies. We've also increased our focus on proactive policing and intervention programs. We’re employing innovative policing methods to keep both our citizens and visitors safe. This includes advanced technology, community policing initiatives, and specialized training for our officers.”

Kirkpatrick thanked the members of the NOPD for their unwavering dedication and effort to serve and protect the citizens of and visitors to New Orleans. She discussed multiple points of interest regarding officers’ efforts that have cultivated positive results. These include:

• Eighth District investigators having solved every case assigned to them over the past four months, as well as a 90-percent apprehension rate for crimes including shootings, armed robberies and carjackings.
• Fourth District officers and detectives identifying a suspect involved in multiple shooting incidents. Since the suspect’s arrest, the district has seen a 50-percent reduction in homicides.
• Second District officers recently arresting a juvenile linked to more than 40 vehicle thefts and burglaries, as well as an aggravated assault incident.
• The Seventh District leading all NOPD districts with a 40-percent reduction in violent crime. The district has arrested more than 277 felons, made 75 gun crime arrests and has confiscated more than 104 weapons.
• NOPD Homicide Detective James Fyfe having solved 17 consecutive murder cases. This incredible work involved more than 100 search warrants, conducting multiple suspect and witness interviews, and working in cooperation with agencies from Tennessee to Texas.

“This work goes above and beyond, and these dedicated men and women deliver it every day,” Kirkpatrick said. “Our officers have made a tremendous impact on public safety.”

The superintendent also offered thanks to Mayor LaToya Cantrell and her administration, the New Orleans City Council and the city’s public safety leaders for their continued support. She also recognized local, state, federal and community partners for their teamwork and assistance, and community leaders for standing with the NOPD in support of public safety.

“These partnerships with local government, law enforcement and community agencies are all helping to make New Orleans a safer, stronger, and more vibrant city,” Kirkpatrick said.

Broadbent Selections is not a name you hear as often as say Kermit Lynch, or Rosenthal Wine Merchants or Louis/Dressner, but that makes them no less important in the world of wine. Representing only 50 producers at any given time, its reputation for curating a high-quality and unique portfolio has made Broadbent a prominent player, especially in niche and specialty wines. The company's focus on authenticity, tradition, and sustainability has earned it respect and recognition among wine enthusiasts and professionals.

The company was founded in 1996 by Bartholomew Broadbent, son of wine critic, author, auctioneer and Master of Wine, Michael Broadbent. Growing up in a wine-focused family, Bartholomew developed a deep appreciation and knowledge of wine from an early age. His work has had a considerable impact on the wine industry, particularly in the U.S., where he has helped elevate the profile of many wines and wine regions that were previously underrepresented.

This carefully curated portfolio of high-quality and unique wines focuses on Europe and South Africa but is particularly noted for its selections from Portugal, especially Madieras and Ports. Join Wesley Kohler-Bergere as we explore 5 high-quality wines that represent the breadth of this thoughtful portfolio.

Learn a little, drink a little and have some fun with us!

Sunday's & Ancora Pizza! PIZZA PIZZA PIZZA!! Here’s the deal - lucky for us, Bryn, owner of Ancora, is a swirl fan and is delivering 10 pizzas with various toppings at 12:30 on Sunday, first come first served. So if you want a hot pizza for the whopping price of $10, come at 12:30, buy a glass of wine and settle down in the AC. Just want a slice? $3 each. The only rule (we hate rules) is that you eat your pizza in-house while drinking our wine. Pretty simple…please respect the rule :)

A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams

Williams’ Iconic Pulitzer Prize-winning drama that follows Blanche’s odyssey from the columns of her ancestral Mississippi Delta mansion into the depths of the French Quarter is fraught with steamy sensuality. Blanche needs a world surrounded by softness and magic, but grief and consequences creep into the household of her sister Stella as soon as Blanche comes to visit. Will Blanche be able to start her new life in the Big Easy, or will she be crushed against something brutal and hard?

An eclectic group of adults… playing six mid-pubescents, vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box. [Rated: PG-13]

A hilarious musical beauty pageant, played out in real time with judges selected from the audience and a different winner each night. Did we mention the contestants are played by men?

August 9 - 18, 2024

Directed by Gary Rucker

Lagniappe, Run time: ~1.5 hrs, Rated: PG-13

The show takes its shots not by mocking the proceedings from the outside, but by being an authentic pageant itself. The six female contestants compete for the title of Miss Glamouresse (named for a fictional cosmetics company). Miss Deep South, Miss West Coast, Miss Great Plains, Miss Bible Belt, Miss Industrial Northeast and Miss Texas compete in evening gown, talent, swimwear and spokesmodeling events, and the finalists answer actual calls from the Glamouresse Beauty Crisis Hotline. A campy and uproarious take on a uniquely American concept, Pageant is 90 minutes of non-stop fun.

We're happy to bring a piece of the past back to WYES . GREAT CHEFS OF NEW ORLEANS, the vintage TV series that began WYES’ legacy of award-winning nationally broadcast cooking shows, returns to the station – 40 years after its debut. Tune in Saturdays at 1pm. The original 26 episodes of GREAT CHEFS OF NEW ORLEANS will air on WYES, followed by other episodes of the multi-part series every Saturday.

Thanks to executive producer John Shoup for sharing the series (produced and directed by the late John Beyer) with us. It begins Saturday in the kitchen of the legendary Chef Warren Leruth, and you'll see many other local icons below in the weeks to come. For all the episodes, the distinctive voices of Mary Lou Conroy and Andres Calandria narrate, with original music from the Charlie Byrd Trio, the Dukes of Dixieland and Banu Gibson.

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.

- 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.

Saints land 2 cold weather games in 2024. Cam Jordan is NOT a fan.

The Saints also add another nationally televised game to their 2024 slate, with the Aug. 18 showdown against the 49ers being beamed to a national audience.

The New Orleans Saints will host two open training camp practices for fans once they return from California later this summer.

The Saints announced Monday that the two sessions will take place Aug. 20 and Aug. 23 at Yulman Stadium at Tulane University and at Caesars Superdome, respectively. The times of the practices and fan information will be revealed later.

The announcement came as part of the Saints’ unveiling of their training camp schedule. With the Saints holding camp at the University of California, the Saints will leave for Irvine on Monday, July 22 and stay out west until Aug. 19.

When in Irvine, the Saints will hold two days joint practices with the San Francisco 49ers on Aug. 15 and Aug. 16 in leadup to their Aug. 18 preseason showdown at San Francisco.

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!

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.

University of Holy Cross to hold Constitutional Carry & Self Defense Class August 29

Public confusion still swirls around Louisiana’s new firearm carry laws

New Orleans – The University of Holy Cross, in conjunction with Pierre Basic Guns, is hosting two gun safety and self-defense workshops on its Algiers campus on Thursday, August 29, 2024, to help Louisiana residents and the greater UHC community better understand the nuances of the new constitutional carry laws in the State of Louisiana and how the new laws impact their rights and responsibilities. Sponsored by the United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA), these workshops are designed to educate the public on the legal aspects of self-defense and carrying firearms.

The workshops will be held on August 29, 2024, with two available sessions: 3:30 - 5:30 p.m. or 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. Both sessions will be conducted at the University of Holy Cross Moreau Center, located at 4123 Woodland Drive in New Orleans.

Each session will last approximately two hours and is open to anyone 18 years and older who wishes to deepen their understanding of this significant legal change regarding the legalities of carrying a firearm in public.

“The need for clear and accurate information is greater than ever,” says University of Holy Cross Police Chief and Director of Public Safety Marshall E. Pierre, Sr. “We are excited to host these informational workshops so our community can feel more educated and empowered about self-defense, especially around the subject of carrying firearms.”

Participants will gain valuable insights into their rights and the best practices for responsible gun ownership and self-defense. These sessions aim to empower attendees with the knowledge needed to navigate the legal landscape confidently and responsibly.

The workshops will cover critical topics such as:

• The implications of being armed in public
• Staying safe by avoiding danger
• Pre-threat indicators
• De-escalation
• Using force
• Seeking further training
• Differences between carrying with a permit vs. without a permit in Louisiana

"I have conducted several of these events, and I've found that many participants are often unaware of the specifics of the law, including what constitutes a justified act of self-defense," says Pierre Basic, founder of Pierre Basic Guns. "One of the most surprising aspects for attendees is learning about the restriction on carrying within 1,000 feet of a school zone without a permit."

To register for a session or to learn more about the workshop series, please contact Pierre Basic Guns at (555) 123-4567 or visit their website at www.pierrebasicguns.com.
