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 & 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.

More than 100 traffic arrests since June 1 in fake license plate crackdown, Kenner police chief says

By Maddie Kerth

KENNER, La. (WVUE)—The Fox 8 investigative team found hundreds of fake temporary license plates on Southeast Louisiana roadways right now.

Law enforcement tells us they’ve prioritized cracking down on these fake plates.

Kenner police say a recent arrest took an undocumented, wanted fugitive off the streets after an officer spotted his fraudulent plate. He isn’t the only one.

“Over 100 arrests since June 1,” Kenner Police Chief Keith Conley told Fox 8. “The proof is in the numbers.”

Four additional officers were recently assigned to the traffic division of Kenner’s police force, which is trying to keep up with the hundreds of fake plates on the roads.

25-year-old Kilmar Ayala-Miranda was arrested in the 2900 block of W. Esplanade Avenue on July 11. Police say he was also found to be undocumented, uninsured, and driving without a license.

ontogeny Pronunciation: ɑnˈtɑdʒəni

Definition: The process of individual growth and development from conception to maturity, involving the series of changes that occur in an organism's structure and function over its lifetime.

Origin: The word "ontogeny" originated from the Greek word "ontos" meaning "being" or "creature" and "genesis" meaning "origin" or "birth."

Example: The study of ontogeny in plants aims to understand the developmental changes that occur from seed germination to the formation of mature plants.

Description: Ontogeny refers to the entire process of individual growth and development that occurs in an organism's lifetime. It encompasses the series of changes, both structural and functional, that an organism undergoes from the moment of conception until it reaches maturity. This term is often used in the fields of biology and developmental psychology to study and understand the intricate processes involved in the growth of an individual. By analyzing ontogeny, scientists can gain insights into the various stages and transformations that an organism experiences throughout its life cycle.

The hilarious and poignant Broadway adaptation of Tina Fey’s cult teen movie that delivers sharp wit, catchy songs, and a powerful message about kindness.

July 17 - 21, 2024

Directed by Kelly Fouchi

Mainstage, Run time: ~2 hrs, Rated: PG-13

A high-energy and hilarious Broadway adaptation of the hit 2004 film. The show delves into the perilous world of high school cliques and the challenges of fitting in. It follows Cady Heron, a teenager who moves from Africa to the cutthroat social hierarchy of an American high school. As she navigates the treacherous dynamics led by the infamous "Plastics," Cady learns important lessons about loyalty, friendship, and staying true to oneself. With catchy pop-infused songs, clever lyrics, and witty dialogue, "Mean Girls" captures the zeitgeist of teenage life while offering a witty and satirical commentary on the damaging effects of bullying and societal pressures. This musical spectacle delivers a relatable and empowering message about embracing individuality and kindness.

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.

2024 Full Moon schedule

(all times Eastern)

• 
  
• 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.

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.

Fair Grounds Race Course and Slots

Quarter Horse Racing has returned!

We are so excited about the return of Quarter Horse racing to the Fair Grounds. Racing will begin August 15 and conclude on September 14. Join us on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays beginning at 12PM!

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. The Saints also have another preseason game a week earlier, when they travel to Arizona to face the Cardinals on Aug. 10.

The Saints are holding their camp in California this year because of construction updates to their practice facility in Metairie. The team is building a new cafeteria, which is expected to be completed in the fall. Saints officials have said the team’s camp in Irvine will be a one-off, with the plan to have camp at the team’s facility next year.

Practices begin Wednesday, July 24.
