CITY OF NEW ORLEANS TO HOLD
ABANDONED VEHICLE AUCTION
NEW ORLEANS - On Tuesday, April 26, 2016 the City of New Orleans Department of Public Works will hold its third abandoned vehicle auction of 2016. The auction, located at Almonaster Auto Pound, 10200 Almonaster Avenue, will begin at 9:00 a.m.
Since Mayor Mitch Landrieu took office in May 2010, the City of New Orleans has held 27 vehicle auctions, selling 2,802 abandoned cars and contributing over $1,895,309 to the City's General Fund.
As in prior auctions, the buyer will pay a $50 administrative fee which gets the buyer a notarized title at time of payment. This feature has been extremely well received by the public as the buyers no longer have to take all of the documentation to the Division of Motor Vehicles to apply for a new title. This process has proven that it saves the citizens time and streamlines their purchase.
The current auction will have 75 vehicles for sale, all of which have been discarded on neighborhood streets or left unclaimed by residents with excessive parking fines and fees.
Abandoned vehicles take up parking spaces needed for traffic circulation, contribute to a sense of neglect in neighborhoods, and can become junked harborages for rats and mosquitoes. To combat this quality of life nuisance, the City of New Orleans Department of Public Works has towed 4,345 vehicles in 2016 through April 9, 2016.
Online Bidding: Introduced in March 2009, the City will continue use of its online bidding feature. Residents interested in online bidding need to register with Proxibid prior to the auction start time by visiting
www.brownsauction.com. The online bidding feature allows residents to preview and pre-bid on any vehicle prior to the live auction, get vehicle information online by entering the vehicle information number (VIN), and bid on vehicles from anywhere in the world as the auction proceeds live from the Almonaster Auto Pound.
All prospective buyers must register before viewing. A refundable $50 fee is required to view and/or bid on any vehicle during the auction. The fee will be applied to any purchase made or refunded if no purchase is made.
Brown's Auction Company from Lafayette, LA, is the State of Louisiana's licensed, authorized dealer and conducts auctions on all City of New Orleans equipment.
Individuals interested in purchasing a car are encouraged to pre-register today and to arrive early on Thursday as many cars sell within the first few minutes of the auction.
Quick Facts
- All vehicle information is currently on Brown's Auction Web site. Per the terms of the contract, the available vehicle list includes the VIN, make, model, and lien holder information. Any auction-related questions should be directed to Brown's Auction Company at (337) 457-4919.
- The current auction was advertised today, Friday, April 22, 2016.
- Prior to the auction, attempts are made to contact the vehicle's owner or lien holder before the vehicles are added to the auction list. Vehicle owners or lien holders that pay all fines and fees are able to retrieve their vehicles prior to the auction.
Purchasing a vehicle
- Cash or cashier's check required
- Payment must be received on the day of the auction. If payment is not received, the purchased vehicle will be placed on the list for the next scheduled auction, the buyer's $50 deposit is forfeited and the bidder is barred from participation in future auctions.
- A $50 administrative fee will be added for each purchased vehicle which gives the buyer a notarized title to that vehicle
- City employees and relatives of City employees are forbidden from purchasing any vehicles at the auction.

American children's author and illustrator, Tomie dePaola, said, "Reading is important, because if you can read, you can learn anything about everything and everything about anything." What better way to instill a love of reading to a child than to read to them everyday.

Bob Dylan: The New Orleans Series
April 25, 2016 - Sunday, May 1, 2016
New Orleans, La
Proving there's little he can't do (except remember his own densely packed lyrics in concert, maybe) Bob Dylan exhibits a collection of paintings inspired by the Crescent City at NOMA this summer. The Minnesota native wrote in the first volume of his autobiography, Chronicles, "There are a lot of places I like, but I like New Orleans better. There's a thousand different angles at any moment ... No action seems inappropriate here. The city is one very long poem." His works present a city that is fluid and mysterious and not without its theatrics. On view in the museum's Great Hall from April 25 until May1. noma.org
.

CITY TO HOST NEW ORLEANS SUMMER CAREER PATHWAYS PROGRAM ORIENTATION STARTING TOMORROW
NEW ORLEANS - Tomorrow, April 26, 2016, the City's Network for Economic Opportunity and JOB1 will kick off its New Orleans Summer Career Pathways Program orientation to provide training and employment opportunities in the advanced manufacturing and energy sectors.
In October 2014, the U.S. Department of Labor committed $8.2 million to support workforce development and training in New Orleans. Of that, a $5.8 million competitive grant went to the City of New Orleans Office of Workforce Development and a $2.4 million grant went to Delgado Community College for workforce development.
The City has leveraged the grant to improve the delivery of workforce training services, facilitate cooperation across federal, state and local workforce programs and funding streams and expand partnerships within industry sectors to develop programs that reflect current and future skill needs.
The City's Office of Workforce Development is working with a variety of training providers and community partners and organizations to customize training programs for local workers interested in obtaining certification in trades in the advanced manufacturing and energy sectors. In addition to education and skill training, participants will be provided with the wrap-around supportive services needed to increase completion and experience in real work settings to gain nationally recognized industry certifications.
Tomorrow, the first Summer Career Pathways Program Orientation will take place at the Young Men Olympians Club House, 2101 S. Liberty St. Each orientation will last from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m.
Career training will be offered in industrial maintenance, electrical and pipefitting.

In September 2014, the Mayor launched the Economic Opportunity Strategy to connect disadvantaged job seekers and businesses to new opportunities.
Both grants, as part of Department of Labor's Workforce Innovation Fund, seek to improve job training programs across the country. Delgado was one of 270 community colleges around the country who received a total of $450 million in federal job-driven training grants. This funding was part of the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) competitive grant program, which is co-administered by the Department of Labor and Department of Education.

DINNER AFTER DARK
American Sector is proud to present Landry Vineyards
NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA
- The American Sector Restaurant + Bar in The National WWII Museum has announced its next dinner in the Dinner After Dark series. "A Night with Landry Vineyards" will take place on April 27, 2016 at 7:00 PM. The 5-course dinner prepared by Executive Chef Eric Cook, surrounded by the ambiance of the Stage Door Canteen, will feature the wines from the West Monroe, Louisiana winery, Landry Vineyards.
Cook will begin the evening with a seared scallop with blackberry merlot glaze, lemon and gremolata, accompanied by a Cajun 75 cocktail of peach muscadine wine, Bombay gin, ginger and orange. The first course of oxtail spring-rolls is served with pickled red onion, braised purple cabbage and redneck demi-glaze. A Redneck Manhattan-Redneck Red, Maker's Mark and Peychaud's Bitters-pairs well with the oxtail. For the second Course, Chef Eric will prepare whole roasted shrimp "Creole," a local muscadine lacquered shrimp with quinoa and spring tomatoes, and served with the Bayoutage White Blend. Charred Wild Boar with white bean cassoulet, caramelized cipollini onions, and blackberry backbone jus meet the Bayoutage Red Blend for the meat course. For Dessert, Chef Eric poaches a pear in Cotton Rouge wine, accompanied by St. Andre cheese, almond brittle and cinnamon biscotti, and served with a glass of Cotton Rouge.
"Our garden to table menu at American Sector pairs nicely with these local wines," states Cook. "It is our aim to create food that is inspired by both regional and Southern favorites, and Landry Vineyards shares that spirit. We hope you will come in and see for yourself why local is always better." Landry Vineyards, located in the hill country of West Monroe, was established in 1999 by the Landry family. The wines are distinctive to the region while complimenting the rich, flavorful Cajun foods of Louisiana's French Acadian Heritage.

CITY ISSUES REMINDERS IN ADVANCE OF THE 2016 NEW ORLEANS JAZZ AND HERITAGE FESTIVAL
NEW ORLEANS - With the 2016 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival open at the Fair Grounds Race Course on April 23, the City is reminding the public about the procedures and requirements for selling goods and public parking in the festival's vicinity. This year's festival dates are Thursday, April 28 to Sunday, May 1.
"Celebrating its 47th year, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival is one of the most authentic cultural experiences in the world," Mayor Mitch Landrieu said. "Jazz Fest attracts hundreds of thousands of revelers to the Fair Grounds and is only getting bigger and better. This year, we encourage all residents and visitors to make a plan before heading out to Fair Grounds to enjoy a day of music, food and culture. As in previous years, City enforcement officials will be on site to ensure that local businesses are in compliance with City ordinances. Our goal is to make commercial business owners and non-profit managers aware of the rules and regulations, and to eliminate confusion in advance."
COMMERCIAL BUSINESS ENFORCEMENT
City code requires that commercial businesses get the appropriate permits if they wish to operate on their commercially-zoned property during the festival. In the event that a non-profit organization plans to manage a parking service on commercial property, they must also apply for a permit. Fees associated with permits for parking operations are $265.25 for a business and $30 for a non-profit organization.
In addition, existing businesses will be allowed to sell their products on their property, both inside and outside of their business contingent upon not blocking the public right-of-way. However, the City will aggressively enforce the rules that prohibit transient vendors (carts, trucks, etc.) from improperly selling their products within the festival's "Clean Zone."
The Clean Zone is a temporary designation that seeks to protect the quality of life for residents and assists businesses in thriving during the 2016 Jazz and Heritage Festival. Simultaneously, the designation will facilitate a tremendous positive economic impact on the City of New Orleans and the State of Louisiana through the regulation and control of certain areas in order to provide for the public health, safety, and welfare of thousands of residents, visitors, dignitaries, and media personnel who will attend events.
The Clean Zone is bounded by Florida Avenue on the north, North Broad Avenue on the east, Esplanade Avenue on the south, and Bayou St. John on the west (excluding the portion of that area contained within the exterior boundaries of the New Orleans Fair Grounds Racetrack). The Clean Zone is in effect beginning at 6 a.m. on Friday, April 22, 2016, and ending at 7 a.m. on Sunday, April 24, 2016. The Clean Zone will go into effect again at 6 a.m. on Thursday, April 28, 2016, and ending at 7 a.m. on Sunday, May 1, 2016.
The City of New Orleans' One Stop Shop for permits and licenses is open during regular business hours, Monday - Thursday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

or call (504) 658-7100.
GETTING TO JAZZ FEST
The Fair Grounds Race Course is located at 1751 Gentilly Blvd. in a residential part of the city offering restricted parking in surrounding neighborhoods. Festival-goers that are driving to the Fair Grounds are encouraged to bicycle, carpool whenever possible, park in downtown long-term lots and use the shuttle system festival organizers have arranged or to take public transportation.
Additionally, because the Wisner Boulevard Bridge Overpass is closed to the public for construction, festival goers should seek alternate routes when travelling to and from the festival.
Bicycling
Festival attendees planning on riding bicycles to the Fair Grounds are encouraged to utilize the City's designated bikeways.
Click here for a map of the City's bikeway network.
Bicycle parking is available by the Gentilly Pedestrian Entrance at the corner of Gentilly Boulevard and Sauvage Street.

Transportation Network Companies
The City anticipates a high volume of ride requests for Transportation Network Companies (TNC) and TNC for-hire vehicles, such as uberX and Lyft, during the festival. In an effort to minimize interruption to Uber and Lyft service and reduce passenger inconvenience, TNC's will direct passengers and drivers to meet at a location outside of the restricted traffic zones.
RTA
RTA offers bus and streetcar service to stops within walking distance of the Fair Grounds.

JAZZ FEST PARKING ENFORCEMENT
Parking enforcement personnel will be monitoring for illegal parking, including blocking hydrants, driveways and sidewalks, or parking within 20 feet of a crosswalk, intersection or stop signs.

NEW ORLEANS - Please join Jazz Live at Hyatt every Friday and Saturday, - May 7 as they welcome Stephanie Jordan for an extended engagement at Hyatt Regency New Orleans. The Stephanie Jordan Ensemble will do two sets in her signature trademark of performing jazz standards from the likes of Abbey Lincoln, Dionne Warwick, Nancy Wilson, Nat "King" Cole, Frank Sinatra, and other jazz greats from the Big Band era. The show also includes highlights from the
"Stephanie Jordan Sings a Tribute to Lena Horne" CD.
Jazz Live at Hyatt takes place in the 8 Block Kitchen & Bar on Level 3 of the Hyatt Regency, 601 Loyola Ave, New Orleans, LA 70113. Show time is from 7:00 to 10:00 pm. There is no cover charge for the performance and reservations are not required.
Friday, April 29 @ 7pm & 9pm
Saturday, April 30 @ 7pm & 9pm * International Jazz Day
Friday, May 6 @ 7pm & 9pm
Saturday, May 7 @ 7pm & 9pm
Immerse yourself in the best of sophisticated New Orleans nightlife with delicious appetizers, masterfully crafted cocktails, and premium spirits, while enjoying complimentary Live Jazz! Enjoy creative sushi dishes, the freshest Louisiana seafood, or a mouthwatering burger at Vitascope Hall, one of the best NOLA bars for catching up with friends.
Stephanie has performed worldwide including the Kennedy Center, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Marian's Jazzroom in Bern Switzerland, Duke Ellington Jazz Festival in Washington, D.C., and in the presence of the President and First Lady Michelle Obama at the Washington Convention Center. Jordan sang at the inaugural International Jazz Day presented by UNESCO which was celebrated by millions worldwide. Just as she had ten years ago at Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Stephanie Jordan Big helped frame the moment of the evening at "The Power of Community: Katrina 10 Commemoration" on August 29, 2015 at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans with her performance of classic tune "Home" from the Broadway musical "The Wiz" during the commemoration".
All About Jazz writes, "Her (Stephanie Jordan) tone is crisp, perfect, but not in that polished way that sounds like an opera singer attempting jazz. She is more like a master of technique, yet with plenty of soul."
Jazz critic Sandy Ingram says "She's a singer with poise and pizzazz, with a voice and an appealing look that bring to mind Carmen McRae and Lena Horne." Stephanie's lyrical style has also been compared to Shirley Horn and Diana Krall, while other critics say it's more like living legend Nancy Wilson.
Recognized internationally, the Sud Ouest French publication calls her "unbelievably superb." The Washingtonian Magazine labeled her "JAZZHOT."
Audix Microphones has dubbed her "Lady Jazz!"

Tasting Notes
With tempting aromas of dark cherry, blackberry and spice, Zin-phomaniac is a complex, full-bodied wine with juicy, approachable flavors of ripe blue-purple fruit and dark semi-sweet chocolate. A kiss of vanilla and a touch of brown baking spice add depth to the long, satisfying mouthfeel.
