A mysterious wooden raven appears Over the last six months, my husband and I have played a little game most every evening. A package lands on the front steps, and before we open it, we try to remember what we ordered. Curtains. Curtain rods. A rug. A light fixture. A lock for the back door. The retractable clothesline. Rebuilding and refurnishing a house after a fire takes a lot of stuff, and a lot of stuff means a lot of boxes. Each one has an air of mystery until we open it and say, “Yep, there are the 43 knobs for the kitchen,” or “Ah, the rug pad.” Not exactly exciting stuff. So I didn’t think anything about the box at our front door Tuesday evening. I put it on the table and went about my business for at least 20 minutes before I found “the package-opening knife” and sliced into it.

This carved wooden raven appeared in a package at columnist Jan Risher’s door on the autumnal equinox. She’s not sure who sent it or why.
The return address was unfamiliar, and extra shipping papers indicated international mail. It was shipped from Spain and had the papers to prove it. I still didn’t think much about it. Then I pulled out the carefully wrapped item, removed the bubble wrap and tissue paper and found a wooden raven. He’s about 7 inches tall and 9 inches long, carved all over with Celtic knots and designs. He’s black, carved from ash wood, and has his head turned all the way around, looking backward. Beautiful, for sure, but there was no moment of recognition. No “Oh yeah, here’s that wooden Norse raven I ordered five weeks ago from Spain.” Instead, I had absolutely no idea where this bird came from. The box was addressed to me, by name, at my address. Whoever sent him meant for him to land here. The artist’s name was on the packaging and the return address, so I looked her up to see whether she, in fact, carves wooden Norse ravens and the like. She does. Her write-up about the carving does not reduce the mystery. It’s called a “Norse Raven Statue,” and the description wanders through the raven’s role in Norse mythology and old Irish legend. The gist is that ravens turn up again and again in ancient myths, often as wise creatures. People tend to revere them or fear them. Few are indifferent.

site. The eventual urban green space may be difficult to envision at this stage, but local business leaders who have advocated for this project for more than six years believe the heavy machinery and temporary chain-link fences are worth the short-term hurdles. They believe public spaces can help build a better community. The hardhats and heavy machinery are the start of the Perkins Road Overpass Project, a $2.9 million investment turning a once muddy, gravel-filled space into landscaped green spaces featuring paved sidewalks, bicycle paths, lighting and metered parking. It broke ground on July 13 to create a multi-use linear park that improves connectivity and encourages community building. The re-envisioned space’s urban trail will not only provide an area to walk and visit with friends and

The area and new pedestrian access will give more people the chance to make healthier choices in terms of active transportation, according to Kim Marousek, vice president of planning for Center of Planning Excellence. Several temporary signs are strapped to construction fences, promoting nearby restaurants’
open hours to emphasize that despite the heavy machinery, the restaurants are still open. Other signs point to a clear walking path between construction sites leading to the entrances of BLDG 5 and The Colonel’s Club, both restaurants underneath the overpass that have decided to stay open throughout construction. “We’ve gone in together to pay

Later, a friend reminded me that Tuesday was the autumnal equinox. So I did what any modern person would do. I Googled it. Google, never one to hold back, informed me that a raven appearing on the equinox symbolizes “a powerful moment of balance, transformation, and a transition between light and dark.” Puzzled further still, I kept reading. One line landed: “Let go of the old and embrace a new phase.” I’m almost always up for that message, but a year after a fire, in a house full of new knobs, sign me up. A wooden raven. From Spain. Addressed to me by name. On the equinox. Looking backward. I’ve messaged the artist, who sells these ravens for $163, plus

I posted the following on social media: Strange question: did someone send me a wooden bird from Spain? One arrived today with no note and a lot of transit papers. It’s pretty, but I don’t know from whence it came. (It’s covered in Celtic carvings.) One friend posted, “That’s the most Jan Risher post ever.” Even so, no one has claimed him thus far.

CLASSIC
Continued from page 1G She grew up in south Baton Rouge and graduated from Robert E. Lee High in 1973. Her father grew up in the Garden District on Letitia Street. Peters is 71. She calls herself part of the Title IX generation — the girls who came of age just before the doors opened. Her high school had no distance team for girls. She played ball in the Catholic Youth Organization league even though she isn’t Catholic, but because that’s where girls could play. She found running late — and by accident. She was a graduate student at LSU, playing on a coed softball team. After a game, her teammates announced they were all headed to a race on College Drive. It cost $10 and came with a free T-shirt and free beer. She went along. It was her first competitive race. She came home with a trophy. She held her hand a good distance above the table to show me how tall it was. “And the rest is history,” she said. But the history had some detours: a criminology degree, a year and a half of law school at LSU and a summer at a law firm that sent her looking for a different path. “I’m just not a detailed person,” she said. “Much more creative.” She finished graduate school in marketing and started racing seriously, but she didn’t like being a professional runner — says it took the fun out of it. LSU asked her to come back and teach parttime, and part-time turned into about 25 years of teaching Marketing 3401, a core class nearly every LSU business student has to take. Back in 2000, Peters and her partners owned Dream Silk Screens, a print shop in an old house on Perkins Road. To grow, they would have needed an automated press and a steady stream of 2,000 T-shirt orders. Peters didn’t want to chase them. “Why don’t we take this old house,” she remembers saying, “and turn it into a little running store?” They moved the press to a building out back. To get the word out cheaply, they gave a free T-shirt with every pair of shoes for the first month. The first month never ended. The backs of Varsity Sports shirts read, “Run hard. Live easy.” I’m not sure I’ve ever been out and about in Baton Rouge without seeing at least one person wearing one. They are a part of life here. A few years in, Peters decided people must be tired of the shirt and suggested a new design. Customers objected. She floated mouse pads instead. They objected louder. “OK,” she said. “It’s gonna be
the same for the rest of my life.” She does offer socks as an alternative now. Occasionally, folks with a closet full of Varsity shirts choose the socks. She did the math once on how many shirts she has given away but doesn’t remember the number. “Think about it — three stores, 26 years and thousands of shirts a year,” she said. “It’s been crazy.” All those years, all those Tshirts, and she’s still excited about it. I asked her what keeps her so sharp. “Genes have got to play a part in it,” she said. “But I think it’s that I love to be engaged. I don’t like to be bored. The next new thing is interesting to me.” She was singing my song. In the hour before we went to lunch, I had read a list of what makes people likable. Enthusiasm was on it. “It gives me a platform to be contagiously enthusiastic,” she said of the store. “If anybody described me as anything, I would love it if it was enthusiastic.” Based on a sample size of one, I would say the list was right. The evidence is on the streets. Varsity Sports’ Saturday runs start at coffee shops and draw about 100 people. Thursday runs start at bars. For the store’s birthday, the group once ran a circus theme. Another year brought a relay from Mandeville to Baton Rouge, split into 75 onemile legs. Peters says she does wish she had traveled more. She is not as well traveled as she would like to be, she said, “for being a curious person.” For now, most of that curiosity points toward home. She has little patience for people who only complain about Baton Rouge. She has seen young engineers from the Netherlands cry when their assignments here ended. “Be part of the solution,” she said. “That’s so cliché. But roll up your sleeves, and change the things you don’t like.” She knows she has ruffled a few feathers along the way. She doesn’t seem to mind. “Sometimes you gotta kick up some dust to make a difference in this town,” she said. After lunch, we stepped outside. The Perkins Road overpass stretched overhead. Peters has spent years pushing to turn the ground beneath it into a linear park, with paths, trees, lights and art. She talked about it the way she talks about the next themed run. She doesn’t want just a path — she wants a place people can linger. We did just that, but we both had busy afternoons ahead. As we said goodbye, she headed off toward the gravel and concrete she believes will one day be a park, putting on her sunglasses as she walked. Email Jan Risher at jan. risher@theadvocate.com.
for the signage all along the fence and along the parking lot just to let people know that we’re open for business as usual,” said BLDG 5 co-owner Misti Broussard. A group of Baton Rouge business people brought the idea to the community in 2020, Broussard said, with the goal of making the area more pedestrian-friendly. BLDG 5, along with Varsity Sports, Moreau Physical Therapy and Ivar’s, initially funded and pulled the project plans together and presented them to the Metro Council in 2022. Plans were approved a year later with some changes. Broussard said the concept was planned, championed and partially funded by residents — people who have a real stake in the outcome.
Free parking lot for now The project will transform the area along Perkins Road beginning at Reymond Avenue and ending at Christian Street — a linear park about 0.2 miles or a five-minute walk. The landscaped, green space will include lighting, signage, walking paths and biking trails. The trails will be accessible at any time of the day. Currently, customers can park in a free, 66-space makeshift lot leased by the city until November to get to restaurants like BLDG 5 or Colonel’s Club. It’s located off Baywood Avenue, across from Bet-R Neighborhood Market. The lot, just shy of 1 acre, is owned by New Orleans real estate firm The McEnery Company, and is up for lease. The company is looking for a tenant to redevelop the lot for commercial use, according to a listing for the site. It’s currently zoned for light industrial use, which covers an array of purposes like manufacturing, wholesale distribution, craft brewery and micro-distillery use. Restaurant and bars are not included in the standard permitted uses. Mi Mi Montagnet Bankston, of McEnery Company, who owns the property with a few other partners, acquired the land a few years ago and demolished a dilapidated house on the property. She said they knew the area struggled with off-street parking, so they turned the land into a parking lot. She and her partners have been involved with project planning and attended meetings with CARBO Landscape Architecture and MoveBR. Bankston declined to comment on the future use of the land, saying plans are not yet available for public release. “We think it’s a fabulous project to connect the neighborhood to the north and the southern part of Perkins Road,” Bankston said.

making it more difficult for others to find parking, according to a study on downtown retail released in December. With paid parking on the horizon for the overpass area, Marousek said future patrons may be encouraged to consider alternate forms of transportation, like rideshares, biking or walking. “There’s more of a mixing and community space that happens when you’re walking to a place or biking to a place,” she said. Baton Rouge is an auto-centric city, she said, but the overpass project will make the area more “people-oriented.” “That type of project isn’t just about a way to get from point A to point B,” Marousek said. “But it’s also about how we are creating community.” Fred Raiford, the Baton Rouge director of transportation and drainage, wants the project to improve connectivity and accessibility in the area, specifically to the nearly 90-year-old Perkins Road bridge, that’s become somewhat of a danger to pedestrians due to narrow walking paths. “Nobody wants to walk across that bridge — nobody,” Raiford said. The new linear park will create safer paths for pedestrians, removing the need to walk over the bridge. When the Perkins Road Overpass Project is finished, there will be no free parking under the interstate, Raiford said. The urban greenspace plan includes 41 metered parking spots — that’s 25 Metered parking to come fewer spaces than the temporary Paid parking is a common point parking lot provides. Paid parking of contention in Baton Rouge, es- has been the biggest complaint pecially downtown, where little of the project so far, but times parking enforcement has led to change and people change, Railow turnover of cars in the area, ford said. Raiford said the area beneath the interstate is city-parish property, so the administration gets to choose whether parking is free or not. “The administration believes they should have to pay there, particularly by the fact that the city owns the property,” Raiford said. A reduction of parking spaces and the implementation of only metered parking “doesn’t feel like the right end product,” Broussard said, who has advocated for this project STAFF PHOTO BY HILARY SCHEINUK since its inception. The East Baton Rouge Shannon Blakeman, of Carbo Landscape Parish Unified DevelopArchitects, shows a rendering during a ment Code states that busi2022 news conference to discuss plans to nesses in urban walkable arrevamp the Perkins Road area underpass. eas must have one off-street
parking space per 330 square feet of gross floor area, or interior space, with some exceptions for certain types of businesses. Restaurants and bars must have one space per 250 square feet of GFA, including outdoor seating areas. A rough calculation means that BLDG 5, Colonel’s Club, Salon Hue and The Royal Standard would require about 50 total parking spaces. The code allows for some reductions to the required amount of spaces if its near a public transportation stop or if there’s on-street parking right outside the business. The closest bus stop to BLDG 5 is about half a mile from the area at South Acadian and Perkins. Plans include that on-street parking will be metered. “Does it or will it meet the UDC requirements that is something I do not know,” Raiford stated in an email.
Optimistic outlook Colonel’s Club owner Jordan Piazza is optimistic and appreciative to see the project come to fruition despite changes to the project’s final draft. He said the 60-day construction in front of his restaurant is “manageable,” and he hopes the timeline sticks to that. The restaurant spends a great deal of money toward the beautification of its building, Piazza said, so he hopes to have cohesiveness across the area, especially being a spot visited by locals and tourists. “I think it’s important to reflect how important, how great Baton Rouge really is, and not just be a minimalistic upgrade, if you will,” Piazza said. Looking toward the future, Piazza and Broussard both share concern over maintenance responsibilities, which are unresolved and in discussion. Currently, it’s decided that the city parish will cut the small areas of grass by the parking lot, Raiford said. Piazza also added that he hopes the project will address the area’s history of drainage issues and flooding. Although the project will reduce parking spaces and limit ability to get things in and out of her restaurant, Broussard said the project will ultimately be great for the community. She’s a big supporter of public spaces in cities, a belief reinforced by her time living in San Diego where she saw beautiful uses of public spaces on the daily. “We believe as residents that this is what we want for our city,” she said. “It’s the right thing to do, so we’re looking to continue working with the city to make sure we get an end product that we’re all really proud of.”

LOUISIANA INSPIRED
Geaux Ride inspires wellness, community on two wheels BY IANNE SALVOSA
egory of at-risk youth to do, they don’t evolve into somebody shooting up the room,” he said. Michael Williams, who serves as Daniel’s right hand man, said bike riding can help keep the peace, but a lot of people who want to access the activity don’t have the resources to do so, which is why Daniel’s mission is important.
Staff writer
As the sun set into orange hues over downtown Baton Rouge on a recent Thursday, neon lights flickered on Laurel Street — not from the city’s bar or nightclubs, but from a fleet of bikes meant to give residents a means to wellness and appreciation for their city. For 10 years, Geaux Ride, led by founder Charles Daniel, has pedaled with about 30,000 cyclists on bike tours. Daniel’s goal has been to reintroduce people to bike riding in a fun, family friendly atmosphere. “Even if you haven’t ridden in a while, the nostalgia you feel as a child bike riding doesn’t go away,” he said. Daniel, 45, moved the organization into its new home earlier this year at 601 Laurel St., a larger space where he can store more than 100 bikes to rent to cyclists of all levels for tours around the Capital City. B a t o n Rouge’s downtown is a “hidden gem,” Daniel said, but he doesn’t know why Daniel it’s not more popular. He said loves the bars and restaurants in the area, particularly Danny’s Dive Bar & Grill and Main Lobby, and sights like the levee trail. Once the work day ends, the downtown streets aren’t too busy, making it a safe place to ride bikes, he said. He describes the bikefriendliness of Baton Rouge as “disconnected,” but he’s optimistic that will change with the implementation of the city-parish’s Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan, which outlines goals to add 100 miles of bike lanes and 250 miles of off-road paths for cyclists. “It’s a great melting pot of all of Baton Rouge in one place that gets overlooked,” he said.
‘A healthy outlet’ Ten years ago, Daniel lived in New Orleans and worked as a corporate data analyst, tasked with finding ways to make companies more efficient with technology. Some of that work, he said, meant employees lost their jobs to technology, which weighed heavy on his conscience. He sought out ways to relieve stress with his friends and noticed a group riding by on bikes while his group was at a restaurant. He and his friends decided to try bike riding after not having been on one in years. They strapped lights onto the bikes as a safety measure for their nighttime rides, at one point seeing almost 1,000 riders. The group, Get Up and Ride, still cruises through New Orleans. “Living in New Orleans, you can eat, you can party, you can drink, you can do all the things,” he said. “I wanted a healthy outlet.” He wanted to bring his newfound passion back to hids hometown of Baton Rouge. In 2016, the city was struggling, damaged by major flooding and the police shooting of Alton Sterling, which unleashed a wave of activism calling for accountability. He decided to bring the community together for free bike rides on Thursdays to work through the hardships. What started as a way to heal through exercise and gathering turned into a way to celebrate, he said. “There was a lot of builtup emotion,” Daniel said. He moved back to Baton Rouge as the organization grew. A moment that’s stuck with him was during a community ride when a woman broke down crying. Once the group stopped at Electric Depot, Daniel checked in with her, learning that she was crying tears of joy. She had previously partaken in physical therapy and rehabilitation to become active

Geaux Ride community bikers take a ride along Laurel Street together on Sept. 17. again but it hadn’t worked like bike riding had. His connection to the community grew to include mentorship for at-risk youth, seeing that activities like bicycling can keep them off the streets. It became personal for him after a teenager who
rode with Geaux Ride for the past five years, De’Vonte Coleman, also known as Tay, was killed in an accidental shooting earlier this year. “I feel like a lot of the issues that we’re seeing in Baton Rouge, if there is a level of mentorship, if there is a level of outlets for that cat-
files into KOK Wings and Things to place an order. As the Geaux Ride crew settles inside, another lightup bike group, City to City, cruises by. Over a meal of wings and loaded fries, Daniel says a few local bike groups stemmed from Geaux Ride after participants sought to create their own group that fits their riding style. He lauds the expansion of Baton Rouge bike clubs since they provide a space for the activity at all levels and interests. He caters Geaux Ride towards riders who are just getting into or back into cycling as a fun, leisurely activity. Yolanda Zeno, a bus driver and caretaker, is a Geaux Ride regular, bringing her son and his friend along for the weekly tours. She said there’s not a lot for families to do together in the city, she said. The rides give her and her son a way to spend time together.
there, while studying for his MBA. He describes himself as a student of business, taking part in programs from Goldman Sachs, Louisiana Small Business Development Center and the Black Chamber of Commerce. He keeps Geaux Ride afloat through self-guided bike rentals, guided bike tours around downtown bars and landmarks, hosting birthday parties at his Laurel Street shop and paint parties. Geaux Ride also repairs bikes through partnerships with other bike shops and Daniel creates his own merchandise in-house. In the future, he wants to expand Geaux Ride into electric scooters and provide bikeshare and scootershare services so people have transportation options, and add more Geaux Ride locations across the region. “We’re open seven days a week and just really get out there and be healthy and put your mental wellness and your overall wellness as a priority,” he said.
Thursday bike rides start at the Laurel Street shop, head east to Mid City and take a break at Electric Depot so bikers can rest and grab a bite or drink at the businesses open at night. The rules of the road apply at Geaux Ride: stay to the right side of the street, stop at red lights and keep an eye out for bumps and potholes.

LSU center fielder Chhris Stanfield, right, celebrates with catcher Luis Hernandez as they both score on a two-run single by left fielder Derek Curiel in the fourth inning of Game 2 of the Collegge World Series finals against Coastal Carolina on Sunday at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Neb. LSU scored four runs in the decisive inning and won 5-3 to earn its ssecond title under coach Jay Johnson in four years. BY KOKI RILEY OMAHA, Neb. — To calll anything a dynasty requires a certain level of consiistent, championship excellence. The Boston Celtic cs in the 60s, New York Yankees in the 90s and UCo onn women’s basketball in the 2010s certainly fit th he description. LSU winning five national championsh hips in 10 years under Skip Bertman definitely qualiifies. Coach Jay Johnson n’s Tigers aren’t quite there yet, but what LSU acco omplished Sunday afternoon at Charles Schwab Fielld was remarkable nevertheless and potentially the b beginning of another baseball dynasty in Baton Roug ge. For the eighth tim me in program history, and for
the second time in three seasons, LSU won the national championship. The Tigers took down Coastal Carolina 5-3 in Game 2 of the College World Series final to secure the 2025 title. “Unbelievable. I’m so proud right now,” Johnson said. “It’s not to be taken for granted being here two years ago. That was special. Greatest night of my life. “This is equal and maybe even tops it in some ways.” The win secured Johnson’s second title in four years at LSU, making him the first coach in college baseball history to accomplish that feat at the same school. The Tigers did it despite bringing back just 12 players who appeared in a game from last year’s team, adding 12 players from the transfer portal,
three junior-college recruits and 10 freshmen in the offseason. “We (added) really talented freshmen ...,” Johnson said. “In a month’s time, we were able to add Chris (Stanfield). We were able to add Anthony (Eyanson), Zac Cowan, Luis Hernandez, Danny Dickinson to those 12 guys who were the right 12 guys.” With the score tied 1-1, the fourth inning proved to be the difference between a coronation and a Game 3 on Monday. The Tigers scored four runs on a walk, a hit by pitch and four singles to take a 5-1 lead. Sophomore Jake Brown led off with a walk before a single from junior Jared Jones and a hit by pitch loaded the bases for the junior Stanfield.
