NATIONAL KITTEN DAY
National Kitten Day on July 10 purrfectly celebrates the cuddly warmth of a kitty. The miniature fur balls of energy snuggle their way into our hearts with no effort at all. Within a flick of their tiny ears, we're in love.
National Kitten Day reminds us that while kittens are well equipped to find their way into our hearts, many don't find homes. They're abandoned at shelters, on the side of the road or wild and feral. Spaying and neutering our pets, including our cats, is vital to their health and keeping the stray population down.
Another goal of awareness campaigns like this one is to encourage adoptions. Instead of purchasing a kitten from a pet store, adopt from a shelter. Many kittens are born in shelters. While their ages may vary, all kittens do become cats.
6 Adoption Tips
Follow the shelter's guidelines and keep these tips in mind when adopting:
- There's an application process. Read through it and understand it. The guidelines are for the safety of the animals, the employees, and you.
- Ask questions. It's important there's an understanding between you and the shelter. Most shelters have volunteers and paid employees. However, they work on a very tight budget. Please don't expect any special accommodations.
- A good shelter will place the interests of the animal first. They want the cat to have a successful placement. Some animals have anxiety while others get along with anyone and every type of animal.
- Consider the size of your home and where you live - an apartment or house.
- Who lives with you? That includes people and pets - does everyone get along and does anyone have allergies?
- How much time do you have for a pet?
- So you've spotted the kitten for you. Be sure to make several visits to the shelter. Play with the kitten. Spend time grooming them. See how the kitten reacts to other cats. Learn the kitten's behavior.
Maybe Fuzzy Bear has health issues or doesn't get along with children. Perhaps another kitten gets along better with dogs. All these factors will be considered on your application.

New Orleans crime rate could reach historic low this year
Photo credit WWL
By Ian Auzenne
Violent crime in New Orleans is nearing the modern-low water mark set in 2019. That's according to new figures released by the NOPD and the Metropolitan Crime Commission. Will New Orleans see its homicide and non-fatal shooting rates dip below the 2019 mark this year?
Metropolitan Crime Commission President Rafael Goyeneche says it's possible.
"The goal is to beat 2019," Goyeneche said. "That's always the goal. One crime is one too many."
Goyeneche says the city has made a remarkable turnaround in crime over the last couple of years despite historic low numbers of police officers on the NOPD's force. He attributes that turnaround to a variety of policy changes made by NOPD Superintendents Michelle Woodfork and Anne Kirkpatrick, including stepped up traffic enforcement and gun enforcement.
Crime reduction in New Orleans shows staying power
"Those traffic stops, those misdemeanor gun stops, those drug stops result in people being arrested for felony offenses," Goyeneche said. "That's proactive policing. Before Michelle Woodfork got here, we were pretty much waiting for someone to dial 911 before police could be deployed, which means a crime was already committed."
Goyeneche also credits the newly-formed State Police Troop NOLA and the NOPD's partnership with Troop NOLA and federal officials for sending crime stats falling.
"You're starting to see a more coordinated approach to addressing crime that's being reflected in the declining crime rates that we've been enjoying," Goyeneche said.
Exhibit A, Goyeneche says, is last month's Operation Clean Sweep.
"They made 155 arrests in one month. They took several dozen weapons off the street, and about 10 of those weapons were fully automatic," Goyeneche said. "The 155 arrests that were made last month will be reflected in . . . we're already seeing the benefits of that in lower crime rates so far this month, and I think we can expect that trend in the months ahead."

KREWE DE PINK Presents DEATH BY CHOCOLATE…NOT BREAST CANCER: A Fundraiser for Breast Cancer Research on July 13, 2024
New Orleans, LA — Be a part of the fight against breast cancer while enjoying a feast for the senses. Join Krewe de Pink for their fifth annual Death by Chocolate…NOT Breast Cancer fundraiser. “Breast Cancer is pervasive. Everybody knows someone who has had it, is fighting it or lost their battle with it. We need to take a stand and end breast cancer.” says Chris Costello, Krewe de Pink president. That is why Krewe de Pink created another fun way for people to support Breast Cancer Research.
Death by Chocolate…NOT Breast Cancer is a chocolate tasting with champagne event which will be held on Saturday, July 13, 2023 from 5:30 pm– 9:00 pm at the Schoen Mansion, 3827 Canal Street, New Orleans. VIP tickets are $100 in advance and $125 at the door. General admission is $60 per person in advance and $75 at the door. VIP ticket holders will have exclusive access to the event at 5:30 pm with the 2024 Sweet Survivors and will be given special takeaways. Tickets can be purchased at www.krewedepink.org.
Krewe de Pink is working in partnership with local restaurants and caterers that are creating tasty chocolate bites made with chocolate donated by Callebaut Chocolate. Mardi Gras School of Cooking, Messina’s, Pigeon Catering, Caluda’s, Cafe Hope and Nunez Community College will all be creating both sweet and savory chocolate dishes. Attendees will have the chance to vote for their favorite sweet and savory chocolate dishes with awards being presented for both sweet and savory favorites.
As part of the program, we will honor this year’s Sweet Survivors: Debra Banquer, Rebecca Brignac, Linda Dill, Genelle Perez-Sandi, Carolyn Przybylski and Peggy Spear. Guests will enjoy live jazz music throughout the event and a fabulous photo station. There will also be a raffle with great prizes including a diamond necklace from Diamonds Direct, a French Quarter staycation package, a Champagne Basket and classes at The Mardi Gras School of Cooking. Those who attend are in for a unique and memorable experience full of wonderful sights, scents, sounds and tastes all while supporting breast cancer research.
Hillery Moise, Event Co-Chair loves this event because “the money raised stays local to support breast cancer research and it showcases local restaurants and caterers that give back to the community and support this cause. A Win-Win-Win.” Death by Chocolate…NOT Breast Cancer, like its sister fundraisers, Pink Bra Run and Krewe de Pink Prom directly supports breast cancer research at Tulane Cancer Center by earmarking money for much needed, non-grant supported research. Learn more at www.krewedepink.org.
Death by Chocolate…NOT Breast Cancer is made possible by the generosity of Jacob Schoen & Son Funeral Home.

An imposing monument stands in honor of Jimi at his gravesite at Greenwood Memorial Park in Renton, Washington. In the center, on a plinth under a granite dome, stands a sculpted electric guitar. It is unmistakably a Fender Stratocaster. That mesmerizing combination – Jimi Hendrix and his Fender Stratocaster – still haunts guitarists to this day. “We use the same thing anyone else would,” he told Guitar Player(opens in new tab) in 1968, “but we use it with imagination and common sense.” | | |

NATIONAL PINA COLADA DAY
July 10 recognizes a sweet, rum-based cocktail on National Pina Colada Day. Today, we are anxiously waiting for the end of the work day to enjoy the cream of coconut and pineapple juice with a dash of run cocktail.
Pina Colada means ‘strained pineapple,' a reference to the freshly pressed and strained pineapple juice used in the drink.
While pineapple has been a part of the distillation history of rum, coconut didn't show up until later. The first written reference to a pina colada was in 1922. However, two different claims to the invention of the pina colada in 1952 come from San Juan. Neither wavers from their story.
No matter who created the first creamy, sweet rum drink, it is forever infused with the ocean and beaches. The cocktail's bright flavor suggests sunshine and vacation. Coconut alone makes us think of suntans while the pineapple's freshness delivers a sparkling note of summer breezes.
The beverage isn't the only way to celebrate either. The day is dedicated to all things pina colada. Whether we make a dessert or snack on pina colada jelly beans, everyone can join in the day.
Put on your sunglasses, kick back, and enjoy a sip or a taste. It's the best way to celebrate.

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 & 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? Contact your local public television station for air dates. For a limited time, see new episodes with WYES Passport.

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, July 15
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.

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.

Mark your calendars for Sunday, July 21st, 2024 at 2:00 PM for this Coming to America Lecture.
Join us and listen as Burke Bischoff will present "The Familial History of a German Dairy Farm in Gretna."
The city of Gretna on the Westbank, originally founded as the village of Mechanikham in 1836, served as a home for many German immigrants throughout its history. While a good number of them lived as skilled mechanical workers, some became farmers. This is the story of one family that had developed its own dairy business in 1900 and has kept its roots in Gretna to this day.
Doors open at 1:00 PM. This event is FREE and open to the public. Ample parking is available at the rear of the building. Enjoy delicious German food, tasty beers and a full bar.
Prost!

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.

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.

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.
