e place people by their accents,” says Clayton Phillips. “I came from Pittsburgh. I fought for years to get rid of this mill worker guy’s voice.”

Phillips has been working on accents with actors in Jefferson Parish Arts Society’s (JPAS) production of My Fair Lady.

In the classic musical, British gentleman Henry Higgins meets Cockney flower seller Eliza Doolittle on the streets. He’s fascinated by her accent, but he believes her speech can be transformed into that of a lady, and he takes up the challenge for the noblest of reasons: to win a bet.

Eliza wants to get a better job in a florist shop, and she knows her Cockney accent keeps her from such an opportunity. When Colonel Pickering hears her speak, he bets Higgins can’t change her.

The final test will be a society ball, and if anyone can detect Eliza’s natural accent, and what it reveals about her background, Pickering wins. It’s not as easy as Higgins believes at first, and as they spend time together, they develop a bond. Higgins is a bachelor and a bit of a misogynist, and Eliza begins to change him as well.

The impressive new 86,000-square-foot The musical was a long-running hit after building has a theater capacity of 1,061 seats, Sept.

The New Orleans City Council may make it illegal for women under 21 to work as exotic dancers. Some dancers say that well-intentioned move may make things worse.

By Missy Wilkinson

T

wenty-five years ago, Jim Kelly argued before the New Orleans City Council that women ages 18 to 20 shouldn’t be allowed to work as exotic dancers.

“The logic was, if you have to be 21 to drink, you have to be 21 to drink and take your clothes off,” says Kelly, who is executive director at Covenant House New Orleans, a shelter for homeless and at-risk youth ages 16 to 22.

The proposed ordinance was approved by the City Council 25 years ago. but after a recent murder case involving 19-year-old dancer Jasilas Wright, Kelly realized it was not being enforced. In July, he returned to City Hall to put teeth into the existing ordinance, and City Councilwoman-At-Large Stacy Head issued a study to examine its enforcement and penalties.

On Oct. 20, the council will discuss who will be responsible for enforcing the ordinance and what the penalties for violating it will be.

Kelly says he is trying to protect young women. Seventy to 80 percent of Covenant House residents have been physically or sexually abused, he says. According to a recent study by Loyola University, 14 percent of 99 Covenant House residents were victims of human trafficking, being coerced into sex work.

Based on the number of young people in Covenant House’s care each year (approximately 615), the findings indicate that 86 residents a year are likely to be victims of human trafficking, the study says.

“Eighteen is too young to be dancing,” Kelly says. “The younger a person is, the more vulnerable they are. We are not saying every young dancer is going to be involved in human trafficking, but it is an avenue to human trafficking — and to a lot of young women, it is exploitative.”

Steven (not his real name) is a former VIP host at another Bourbon Street club, Barely Legal, and has worked off and on in strip clubs for 15 years. At the time, Barely Legal showcased young women who, under this ordinance, would be barred PAGE 8

N.O. COMMENT What you had to say on BestofNewOrleans.com this week

The Times-Picayune fired 37 full- and parttime staffers last week, the second major round of cuts in three years. Here’s what you had to say on Facebook:

Age of consent — to strip

Local dancers say Exotic dancers say a proposed the ordinance shouldn’t age restriction for working exist at all. in clubs could make things “It’s legal for 18-yearworse for the people the law is olds to vote and enlist in designed to protect. the Army,” says Mia Smile, P H OTO BY C H ER Y L G ER B ER who started dancing at Babe’s Cabaret on Bourbon Street when she was 18. “So why can’t 18-year-olds decide if they want to strip?”

“Don’t tell women they can’t work a f—king job when they’re adults,” says Lilith, a 27-year-old dancer at Babe’s Cabaret who started when she was 20. “To assume we’re all victims and have no other options or are forced to be there is simply disrespectful.”

Jindal is like the guy who spoils your dinner by talking nonstop and too loudly two tables over in a restaurant.

from working in strip clubs. “They wouldn’t hire you if you were older than 24, and you couldn’t be augmented — they wanted all-natural young girls, because that was the image of the club,” he says. “They took the childlike theme … a bit too far.”

Steven agrees that a woman’s first employer shouldn’t be a strip club. He says the issue, however, is more complicated than the age difference.

“There are so many girls who can’t handle the lifestyle; it doesn’t come down to the age of the girl,” he says. “The real question is: Who decides whether you’re mentally prepared to take on a position like this?”

Kelly says younger people are less likely to make good decisions because their brains are still developing.

“You’re an adult at 18, but your brain is still developing up to age 25,” he says.

“The younger you are, the more chance you have of not using sound judgment, and the more people try to take advantage of you.”

Thomas Fewer, director of the New Orleans Counseling Center, says his experience does not bear out that conclusion.

“From a psychological point of view, working with people in that age range, someone who is 18 is able to make choices and be held responsible for choices they make,” says Fewer, who also works at the Children’s Bureau of New Orleans and previously worked at River Oaks Hospital’s children and adolescents unit. “Personal development is individual and complex. I think that is a simplistic way to justify what sounds like a moral attitude.”

Laura Helen Marks, a postdoctoral fellow at Tulane University with a doctorate in women’s and gender studies, says she is confused about some points Kelly made in his visual presentation to the City Council. While Kelly suggests that incidents of violence against sex workers would decrease if the minimum age for stripping was raised to 21, there is “no data or explanation of why this would be so,” Marks says.

“Violence against sex workers is prevalent in part due to social stigma,” she says. “Raising the minimum age perpetuates the notion that sex workers are naive individuals with little to no agency or understanding of their own situation.”

Marks and Fewer also say Kelly is combining two separate topics: sex work and human trafficking.

“I noticed some troubling conflation of sex work and trafficking that subtly blurs the lines between forced and voluntary labor, a move commonly employed in anti-trafficking rhetoric that merely muddles the issue and makes productive discourse … nearly impossible,” Marks says Dancers Lilith and Cinnamon say these kinds of blurred lines make it harder for them to perform their jobs without making their workplaces safer.

“We are strippers, not sex trafficking victims,” Cinnamon says. “I like my job.

I want to keep my job. If you want to address sex trafficking, you should find the people trafficking girls.”

“Crack down on the pimps and prostitution in the clubs,” Lilith says.

“That would make the work environment healthier for girls.”

Kelly says he’s trying to do that as well — to coordinate a comprehensive approach to human trafficking that involves human services organizations and law enforcement. “We need to attack and lock up pimps and predators, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office is working hard on that,” he says. “But I want to keep women under age 21 out of that environment and away from those predators.”

Enforcing the 21-and-up ordinance will take time, money and manpower, and right now Kelly isn’t sure from where those things will come. “We are working through that right now: Should it be state police, the [New Orleans Police Department], the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board?”

Pearlina Thomas, chief of staff for City Council President Jason Williams, said the councilman could not answer questions about the issue. “We are currently exploring all possible means of enforcing the underage dancer ordinance,” she wrote in an email. “Working through structuring enforcement is the primary reason this presentation was moved (from Sept. 15) to the October 20, 2015 Alcohol Beverage Control Board meeting.”

Steven points out that even if it is enforced, the ordinance could be circumvented easily by unscrupulous club owners and managers.

“The only way you can really police it is by going to every single club and checking every ID, everything on file,” he says. “That’s taxpayer money you’re talking about.”

Mia Smile worries that if the ordinance were enforced, 18- to 20-year-olds would gravitate toward clubs that hire them illegally, where their safety and well-being might be even more at risk. “If the dancing age moved from 18 to 21, I fear it will push younger girls to clubs that don’t listen to the rules, where they’re more likely to be pushed into backroom deals,” she says.

At clubs with good management, trafficking shouldn’t be an issue because prostitution isn’t allowed, Cinnamon says. “There are clubs that are fun and safe to work at, and [sex for money] will get you fired if it happens, because it’s illegal and not a service that should be offered in a strip club,” she says.

Lilith says she plans to attend next month’s hearing before the City Council.

“I am sure [the City Council] has good intentions, because there is a problem with a club environment where women feel pressured to prostitute when that isn’t what they’re doing with their lives.

But this isn’t the way to handle it.”

NEWS VIEWS SCUTTLEBUTT Quote of the week

“If the race for the District 1 seat is decided based upon names, the incumbent doesn’t stand a chance.

Mike ‘Chicken Commander’ Boyter, a Democrat from Vivian, has qualified to take on [Rep. Jim] Morris, a Republican. The ‘Chicken Commander’ moniker will indeed appear on the ballot.” — Jeremy Alford of LaPolitics, reporting on the Louisiana House District 1 race. House District 1, home of the “Chicken Commander,” is in the top northwest corner of the state, not far from West Monroe, home of the “Duck Commander.”

John Pope, whose career began at the old States-Item in 1972, no longer will be a staff writer but will continue to contribute to the paper.

Andy Grimm, who was hired from the Chicago Tribune to cover federal courts in New Orleans, also was fired, as were reporter Ben Myers and graphics reporter/editor Dan Swenson. Benjamin Alexander Bloch, who covered coastal parishes and the Gulf of Mexico, was terminated, as was Dinah Rogers, a 24-year employee who worked as the paper’s assistant photo editor.

Music writer Alison Fensterstock, entertainment writer David Lee Simmons and events writer Cate Root were let go. Lyons Yellin of WWL-TV reported that “almost all” the prep sports staff was fired.

The cuts were not unexpected. In June, Advance Publications, which owns NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune, indicated NOLA Media Group would be merging with the company’s Alabama Media Group to form a “Southeast Regional Media Group.” Two days later, managers met with employees to talk about the company’s future. “They’re being pretty upfront about the fact there will be layoffs,” one reporter told Gambit at the time. A report from Alabama mentioned that the new media group would be seeking “operational efficiencies.”

Several reporters left the company this summer. Adriane Quinlan departed in July for Atlanta, while Rebecca Catalanello — whose series on abuse and neglect at the New Bethany Home for Girls received national praise — took a job as assistant director of publications and communications at the University of New Orleans. Grace Wilson, the website’s “Community Engagement Specialist for Entertainment,” departed in August. Earlier this month, longtime Times-Picayune Editor Jim Amoss stepped down to take a role as Editor-At-Large for Advance Digital, the Internet arm of owner Advance Publications.

The new editor is former state and metro editor Mark Lorando.

In 2012, the paper was thrown into tumult when The New York

Times reported The Times-Picayune soon would be going to a three-dayper-week production schedule. The T-P subsequently fired more than 200 people, 84 of whom worked in the newsroom, as it underwent what it called the “digital transition.”

At the time, Amoss promised, “We will continue to have by far the most complete and the most formidable news-gathering muscle in this community, and readers will just have to hold us accountable to that promise that I’m making.” — KEVIN ALLMAN

Domestic violence still major threat for Louisiana women

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > SEPTEMBER 22 > 2015

Report ranks state fourth for women murdered by men

10

Once again, Louisiana ranks as one of the most dangerous states for women. In its annual report, the Violence Policy Center (VPC) placed Louisiana at No. 4 for the rate of women murdered by men (1.99 per 100,000) — the fifth consecutive year that Louisiana has placed in the top 10 states where women are murdered by men at disproportionately high rates.

This year’s “When Men Murder Women” report, however, covers 2013 — the most recent year data was made available by FBI crime statistics, one year before the Louisiana Legislature began cracking down on domestic violence offenders with comprehensive legislation. (The report also does not count multiple deaths or domestic violence deaths where the victim and offender are the same gender.)

In its response to the report, the Louisiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence (LCADV) noted domestic violence murders are down nationwide.

Single-victim and single-offender murders of women committed by men have dropped 31 percent nationwide over the nearly 20 years of the study. Meanwhile, Louisiana’s rate of women killed by men is 83 percent higher than the national average.

“We have made a lot of great policy changes, but it takes many years for those policy changes to get fully implemented on the ground in local communities,” said Beth Meeks, executive director of the LCADV. “We have a significant lack of resources that makes it difficult for victims to access safety services. We have large areas with little or no advo-

cacy services and too few shelter beds. Programs are doing the best they can, but without additional funding there just aren’t enough services for persons seeking immediate safety.”

As outlined in the VPC report, black women are especially at risk for fatal domestic violence incidents. In 2013, black women were murdered by men at a rate two-and-a-half times higher than white women, a statistic that has remained static for several years. Of the 47 women killed in Louisiana by men counted in the report for 2013, 24 were black. — ALEX WOODWARD

Jindal vs. Planned Parenthood (again)

DHH offers new reasons for pulling Medicaid funding

Just as quickly as Gov. Bobby Jindal’s administration withdrew plans to terminate Medicaid contracts with Planned Parenthood in the state, it announced plans to introduce another assault on the organization. The administration faced scrutiny in U.S. District Court earlier this month as Planned Parenthood sought an injunction to prevent Louisiana from defunding the organization.

Jindal and the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals (DHH) sought to cancel the state’s Medicaid contract with Planned Parenthood after a heavily edited video surfaced of Planned Parenthood officials allegedly discussing selling fetal tissue. The governor has made defunding Planned Parenthood a cornerstone of his presidential campaign.

Planned Parenthood, which operates in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, does not currently perform abortions in Louisiana and is one of the state’s largest providers of reproductive health care, cancer screenings and screenings for sexually transmitted diseases. The state argued that 2,000 other family planning providers in the state could offer those services, which Planned Parenthood officials disputed.

“It’s just simply not true that there are other Medicaid providers that can absorb patients,” Planned Parenthood spokesperson Raegan Carter told Gambit last month.

“They don’t exist. If they did exist, we wouldn’t be in the same crisis.”

U.S. District Judge John deGravelles questioned the list of alternate preventative sexual health caregivers provided by the state — which included dentists and ear, nose and throat doctors, among others. (The state later provided a smaller list with 29 providers.) “It strikes me as extremely odd that you have a dermatologist, an audiologist, a dentist who are billing for family planning services,” deGravelles said at a hearing last month. “You’re telling me that they can provide family planning and related services?”

On Sept. 15, DHH again attempted to terminate Planned Parenthood’s Medicaid contract, citing a lawsuit the organization settled (with no admission of wrongdoing) in Texas for $4.3 million in 2013.

Texas officials had alleged Planned Parenthood had overbilled for Medicaid and other reimbursements.

Planned Parenthood “The Jindal administration is determined to cut off thousands of Louisiana women and men from their trusted health care provider,” said Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast Director Melissa Flournoy.

• The Orleans Public Defenders office, which has long said it’s inadequately funded, launched a crowdsourcing campaign last week to help cover what the office said was a nearly $1 million shortfall.

The novel approach attracted the attention of TV comedian John Oliver, who spotlighted the public defenders’ plight on the Sept. 13 edition of his HBO show Last Week Tonight. The exposure did some good; as of press time — hours before the campaign was to end — the office had raised $52,722, surpassing its $50,000 goal …

• A group of host organizations will hold a gubernatorial candidate forum on health care at Dillard University Sept. 29. The four major candidates — Public Service Commissioner Scott Angelle, Lt.

The event, which begins at 6 p.m. in the university’s Georges Auditorium in the Professional Schools Building, is free and open to the public …

Jindal vs. Trump

2015.16 Gov. Bobby Jindal (left) continues to throw barbs at GOP frontrunner Donald Trump (right) to gain attention for Jindal’s flailing presidential campaign.

P H OTO BY S T EP H EN LO V EK I N/ G E T T Y I M A G ES

The piece de resistance was Jindal’s juvenile quip that the real estate baron looked like he had “a squirrel sitting on his head.” This is the candidate who in 2012 chided Republicans to “stop being the stupid party”?

In his defense, Jindal had to do something to distinguish himself in a race that so far has looked more like a bad reality show than a national policy debate. In a nationwide CNN/New York Times poll of Republican primary voters conducted Sept. 9-13, Trump led a field of 17 competitors at 27 percent (up 3 percent from the month before). Jindal had fallen during that month from 2 percent to an asterisk (denoting less than 0.5 percent support).

That’s even lower than former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who dropped out of the race after the poll was taken.

Undeterred, Jindal slogs on. In the Sept.

16 CNN debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, he was the only candidate who used his introductory remarks to slam Trump. That prompted a moderator to remind him of Ronald Reagan’s famous “11th Commandment” — “Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican.” Jindal answered that Trump is no Republican, prompting another low-polling candidate, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, to grouse, “Personal attacks just please one person — Hillary Clinton.”

Jindal initially complained that Trump is “full of bluster but has no substance.”

The same could be said of Jindal. Unlike Trump, though, he has nothing to show for his false bravado.

railing political candidates always poke at frontrunners, but watching Gov. Bobby Jindal’s recent attempts to take on GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump was like watching a toddler desperately tugging on his father’s pants leg, trying to get some attention — any attention. Jindal clearly has gotten no traction with his policy pronouncements, so now he’s thumping Trump, hoping the mogul will take the bait and begin a publicity-rich feud. Like other aspects of Jindal’s delusional presidential campaign, this move flopped.

First Jindal called a press conference to denounce Trump as a narcissist, an egomaniac and a reality-TV star akin to a Kardashian. He compared Trump unfavorably to Don Rickles yet did a fair impression of an insult comic himself. “There’s a reason we know he hasn’t read the Bible — he’s not in the Bible,” Jindal said. “Just because people like watching Kim Kardashian, we wouldn’t put her in the White House,” he added — a rich line coming from someone who practically Superglued himself to the Robertson family, stars of the Louisiana-set faux-reality show Duck Dynasty. In April, Jindal even joked about making the show’s Willie Robertson his running mate.

In one web video, Jindal compared Trump to volatile TV star Charlie Sheen, and in another to the vacuous characters in Anchorman. A third video on Trump’s foreign policy had a crude animation of Trump watching M*A*S*H and other war comedies, while portraits of Bill and Hillary Clinton and Kanye West looked on. Jindal then penned an op-ed for CNN in which he speculated that actor Gary Busey would be in Trump’s Cabinet and that Trump’s wife Melania would use the White House to launch a line of celebrity perfume at Macy’s.

lot of people don’t like U.S. Sen. David Vitter because of his past dalliances with prostitutes. Many more dislike him for entirely different — and more compelling — reasons: they think he’s too much like incumbent Gov. Bobby Jindal … only more so.

I mention that because of what happened at the recent Alliance for Good Government governor candidate forum at Loyola Law School. Only two of the major candidates showed up — Vitter, for a change, and Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne. Vitter has skipped a number of forums, claiming he has pressing duties in the U.S. Senate.

He also has declined to attend such events if he doesn’t get the questions in advance.

That’s one way he reminds folks of Jindal: He likes to control, orchestrate and script every “public” appearance. Spontaneity is avoided at all costs.

Both men remind me of the cowardly lion in The Wizard of Oz — full of bluster from a safe distance but ultimately afraid of their own shadows. Jindal is terrified of anything that might threaten his presidential ambitions, while Vitter is afraid to confront his past, particularly the “very serious sin” he admitted in 2007 — cavorting with prostitutes while a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. That came squarely into focus at the Alliance forum on Sept. 14.

At that forum, Vitter and Dardenne were asked if they had ever violated Title 14 of Louisiana’s statutes while in public office.

Both men are lawyers, so it was a fair question. Title 14 is the state’s Criminal Code, and paying prostitutes for sex is unequivocally a criminal offense.

Dardenne said he had never violated Title 14 and never would.

Vitter’s response was telling: He freaked.

“Off the top of my head, I couldn’t cite you Title 14,” Vitter said. “I don’t know exactly what it says.”

Really? A lawyer who taught law school classes and who, as a state lawmaker for nearly eight years, filed and/or voted on literally hundreds of bills dealing with Title 14 doesn’t know that it’s the Criminal Code? Really?

Vitter then tried to deflect the question by saying it was “planted” to embarrass him. He never answered “yes” or “no.”

Let’s assume he’s correct about the question being planted. So what? When you run for governor, you have to take what comes — sort of like what happens when you, um, win and then have to govern.

Here’s a news flash for Sen. Vitter: As governor, you don’t get to opt out of hurricanes, tornadoes, oil spills, flash floods, economic downturns and other catastrophes just because they’re scary and you weren’t warned in advance. Stuff happens, and you have to deal with it. You can’t control, script, orchestrate or contrive it. You certainly can’t run from it.

Personally, I don’t care whom Vitter carried on with 15 years ago. But every Louisiana voter should care enough to ask if a man who is afraid of his own past can muster the courage to lead us all into the future.

Bobby Jindal proved that being governor of Louisiana is not for the faint of heart. Do we really need four or eight more years of political cravenness to drive home the point?

n seven years, the New Orleans Fringe Festival grew into an annual alternative theater spectacle featuring everything from aerialist dramas performed on ribbons and trapeze to mashups of cabaret and circus arts to shadow puppet shows. After the 2014 festival, organizers announced the concept was changing, and NOLA Defender founder Ben Mintz became director of the renamed Faux Real New Orleans (www.fauxrealnola. com) festival.

All fused up

Rebellion’s creative pan-Asian fusion

By Helen Freund

Shark tank

If dinner under the stars seems a bit passe, how about dinner under the gaze of more than a dozen sand tiger and nurse sharks?

A team of New Orleans chefs will prepare a six-course meal at the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas (www. auduboninstitute.org) on Sept. 24, and guests will dine in front of the massive Gulf of Mexico exhibit and its sea turtles, sand tiger, nurse and brown sharks.

The dinner is a benefit for the Audubon Nature Institute’s Gulf United for Lasting Fisheries (G.U.L.F.) program (www.audubongulf.org). G.W. Fins (808 Iberville St., 504-581-3467; www.gwfins. com) chef and co-owner Tenney Flynn leads a team of chefs on the G.U.L.F. Chef Council, a group formed in 2014 as part of the Audubon Institute’s ongoing efforts to promote sustainable seafood harvesting in Gulf fisheries.

“It’s a great group of chefs and a great cause,” Flynn says. “The backdrop is going to be incredible. While (diners) are eating fresh Gulf seafood, they’ll be sitting right next to the tank.

We decided on a small number of guests (64 seats) so that everyone would get that experience.”

Participating chefs include Flynn, Susan Spicer of Bayona (430 Dauphine St., 504-525-4455; www.bayona.com) and Mondo (900 Harrison Ave., 504-2242633; www.mondoneworleans.com), Alan Ehrich from the Audubon Nature Institute, Kristen Essig of Meauxbar (942 N. Rampart St., 504-569-9979; www.meauxbar.com), Chris Lynch of Atchafalaya (901 Louisiana St., 504-8919626; www.atchafalayarestaurant. com) and Jeremy Wolgamott of High Hat Cafe (4500 Freret St., 504-754-1336; www.highhatcafe.com). Dishes include crab Waldorf salad; a trio of tuna trifle with snapper ceviche, smoked spinach and drum salad; and fresh Gulf fish preparations with sides like cracked PAGE 42

Maurepas to close

Bywater farmto-table restaurant Maurepas Foods (3200 Burgundy St., 504-2670072; www.maurepasfoods.com) will close Oct. 5. Executive chef and owner Michael Doyle confirmed Wednesday that the eatery will close permanently after almost four years of service.

Doyle, who formerly worked as a sous chef at Dante’s Kitchen in the Riverbend, opened the restaurant in 2012 and quickly won accolades locally and nationally for his farm-to-tabledriven menu, creative cocktails and lively dining scene.

The restaurant was considered a trailblazer in Bywater, setting the path for a swath of casual-but-hip eateries that adhered to a “local first” mantra when procuring food from area farms and producers while offering diners prices that reflected the neighborhood’s bohemian appeal.

Doyle says it will be business as usual at the restaurant in its final days and that he is working to find new placements for all of his employees.

Doyle and his family own the building at 3200 Burgundy St., something Doyle says renders them “lucky,” and that they are considering future options.

Veteran New Orleans bartender Chris McMillian appears poised to open a shop in the former Mid-City burger spot Juicy Lucy’s (133 N. Carrollton Ave.).

City records indicate McMillian is in the process of applying for an occupational business and liquor permit at the spot, which sits near the intersection of Canal Street and North Carrollton Avenue. An application for a liquor permit posted on the building’s window Sept. 15 lists the temporary name as “Revel,” and the applicant as Chris & Laura’s Love Shack, an LLC registered to McMillian and his wife, Laura, records show.

No word on what the pair have planned at the spot as of yet. McMillian did not immediately return a call for comment.

Owner Michael Juan opened Juicy Lucy’s on the strip four years ago. The casual eatery, known for stuffed, oversized patties, closed its doors in late June, “because of things beyond our control,” according to a post on the restaurant’s Facebook page. The owners were not immediately available for comment.

McMillian, a fourth-generation bartender, has garnered accolades for his craft, and Imbibe magazine named him one of the 25 most influential cocktail personalities of the past century. Currently the head bartender at French Quarter restaurant Kingfish (337 Chartres St., 504-598-5005; www.kingfishneworleans. com) McMillian is a co-founder of the Museum of the American Cocktail, where his wife is the assistant managing director. — HELEN FREUND

3-COURSE interview

Chip Flanagan Chef Ralph’s on the Park executive chef Chip Flanagan recently returned from Germany, where he was part of a U.S. State Department culinary diplomacy mission, a program started by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Flanagan spoke with Gambit about Germans’ perceptions of American food, similarities between New Orleans and German cuisine and what he brought back to New Orleans for Oktoberfest.

What is a food ambassador?

Flanagan: They wanted me to introduce indigenous American cuisine to Germans. I (went) to the consulates in Frankfurt and Munich and to the (U.S.) embassy in Berlin. I was doing cooking demos and (teaching) them about, not just American food, but about the food of south Louisiana and that it’s food made from scratch with real ingredients. Everyone’s impression is that it’s just hamburgers and french fries.

Even though we have all these different cultures, food is the one thing we have in common. We all have to eat. We all sit down together. We all break bread together.

How did you deal with the conception that the American diet consists solely of processed items and junk food?

What similarities exist between New Orleans and German cuisine?

F: I cooked jambalaya, because it’s an adaptable dish. We have andouille and tasso … but they have pork sausage … [T]here wasn’t tasso, but there is ham everywhere in Germany. It’s a completely pork-centric culture. Right now there’s a pork — especially bacon — craze here, but for them, that’s just their meat of choice.

Besides that, there’s a lot of drinking. [German] people drink a lot of beer.

With the food connection, there also was a link (to New Orleans) with the celebrations. Every time you ate and drank, it was a type of celebration. Like the German beer halls where you sit with strangers and have a beer with them — it’s like a crawfish boil here.

I knew a limited amount about German food going there. But the food, let’s face it — it’s not really light. I remember when we used to cook and it was all about the taste … now it’s about how much fat is in something or how much salt or whether it’s gluten free. There, it was still about the flavor.

For our (Oktoberfest) menu, we’re doing it their way: traditionally. I had this rotisserie pork knuckle in Munich that was just out of this world. So (we’ll) serve this big pork knuckle on top of sauerkraut. There will be spaetzle made with Creole mustard in the batter, and we’re going to do pretzels, which I’m really excited about. — HELEN FREUND

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > SEPTEMBER 22 > 2015

F: When I did my smaller demos … my first question for the students was to ask them what they thought of American cuisine. Everybody — just everybody — said hamburgers and french fries.

This processed stuff — it’s hard because we’re good at it; we’re really good at it. It’s a hard myth to debunk when you go to downtown Berlin and there’s a McDonald’s right there, or in Munich, where there’s one right off the main square. It’s an uphill climb, but I tried to explain that our cuisine is based on their cuisine, on French cuisine, on Italian cuisine. I talked a lot about (New Orleans) food and that what we cook here is indigenous to our climate. It’s real food.

We’re getting back to how it used to be, and I think we’ve come a long way. The (food) I can get now in this town from areas around here is a thousand percent better than what it was 10 or 15 years ago.

WINE of the week 2013 Albert Conti Toscana Rosso IGT T US C A N Y, I TA LY RETAIL $9-$10

Sangiovese is one of the world’s great grapes, especially when sourced from its homeland of Tuscany in central Italy.

The region’s viticultural history dates back to the 8th-century B.C., and today there are at least 14 clones of sangiovese.

The varietal is known as an excellent blending grape, and in the ’70s, inventive Tuscan winemakers experimented with oak aging and blending grapes unauthorized by national regulations, which led officials to the develop the IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) designation, or so-called “Super Tuscans.” This baby Super Tuscan is from the Alberto Conti winery, founded by Maria and Altero Barbanera in 1938 in the village of Le Piazze, and is a blend of 60 percent sangiovese and 40 percent merlot. It exhibits aromas of dark berries with rustic and savory notes. On the palate, taste sour cherry, plum, dried herbs, good acidity and smooth tannins.

Decant 20 minutes before serving. Drink it with rich pasta dishes, pizza, meats, stews and aged cheeses. Buy it at: Brady’s Wine Warehouse, Philippe’s Wine Cellar and Rouses locations on Franklin Avenue and Tchoupitoulas and Baronne streets. — BRENDA MAITLAND Email Brenda Maitland at winediva1@bellsouth.net

How did Wilco — if not milquetoast, then among the least objectionable rock bands ever — become a lightning rod of controversy and the rebellious wrecking ball of a crumbling industry? It goes beyond Jeff Tweedy’s mirror-image career end zones, the extremes of mythologized Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (2002) and maligned Sky Blue Sky (2007), but the inner folds of Wilco those fortune-shifting origami games SEPT 8:30 p.m. Monday are as good a place to start as any. They raise the initial question, among others: Orpheum Theater, Is the former so revered because it 129 Roosevelt Way was stranger than everyone expected (504) 274-4870 (though less strange now), discarded by an evil label and belatedly triumphant on www.orpheumnola.com a subsidiary? Is the latter undervalued because it was simpler than some hoped (though less simple now), an instant chart success and embraced by Volkswagen admen? Perhaps the answer has less to do with the band’s context and more to do with ours; perhaps the albums are just the first and last fissures of an invisible generational divide, over which Wilco leapt as one perceived entity and landed as another. (This jibes with the taxonomical averseness of middle child A Ghost Is Born, a transitional, neither-here-nor-there LP if ever there was one.) More likely, it’s all a theoretical exercise, a sandstorm in a marble: Wilco has, after all, issued simple albums before (the Uncle Tupelo epitaph A.M.), and it’s released strange ones since — increasingly so, in fact, culminating in July’s surprise, self-released giveaway Star Wars. One thing is certain: If there’s one song that deserves the Carnegie Hall acoustics of the renovated Orpheum Theater, it’s not “Kamera” or “War on War” or “Jesus, etc.” — it’s “Impossible Germany,” and Nels Cline’s three-minute, hi-def paean to Tom Verlaine. William Tyler opens. Tickets $33-$63. — NOAH BONAPARTE PAIS

Since the advent of broadcast television in the 1940s, Hollywood has continually introduced splashy new technologies meant to distinguish movies presented in theaters from entertainment viewed at home. Widescreen Cinerama, early attempts at 3-D and a chair-shaking audio format known as Sensurround (launched in 1974 for the movie Earthquake and abandoned in 1979) are just a few examples of the industry’s efforts to Everest transform the filmgoing experience into a special event.

Directed by BalThose efforts continued with a vengeance in recent years as more than a tasar Kormakur thousand theaters across the U.S. brought in ultra-high-quality, giant-screen formats — the most famous is IMAX — and many more added digital 3-D, all Starring Jason of which command higher prices at the box office. Most of the movies made Clarke, Josh Brolin, to showcase these capabilities are action-adventure-fantasy films targeted Robin Wright, Jake at very young audiences. But what about older folks and their supposedly Gyllenhaal and large disposable incomes?

Keira Knightley The fall of 2015 brings a succession of high-profile, high-tech event movies Wide release targeted for the first time at older and more sophisticated audiences (though these films mostly fit the action-adventure mold to one extent or another). The first is Icelandic filmmaker Baltasar Kormakur’s Everest, which tells the true story of a May 1996 ascent to the world’s tallest peak, a climb that killed eight people.

In its first week of release, Everest screens at IMAX 3-D theaters — old-school 2-D and 3-D screenings begin Sept. 25, mainly to help spread the word about Hollywood’s new era of event films for grown-ups.

But waiting for low-tech presentation is a mistake, because Everest doesn’t have much to offer beyond its epic visuals.

Those visuals may be enough to satisfy many viewers. In IMAX 3-D, Everest captures the majesty of the natural world as few films have done. It leaves no doubt about the tremendous courage — and questionable judgment — required to attain a summit 29,029 feet high, more than 5 miles above sea level. But the film barely addresses the psychology of those who feel compelled to conquer the mountain. There’s only so much drama that can be generated by watching people cling to a mountainside in a terrible storm, especially when the film hasn’t allowed us to get to know them, and the outcome already has been widely detailed in documentaries and best-selling books.

Everest seems hamstrung by that familiarity, if only because it derives from a large number of conflicting first-person accounts of what actually happened on two disastrous days. Overcrowding on Everest at peak times of year played a role in the tragedy, but the film drops the issue almost as soon as it’s raised, apparently to avoid placing blame on individual climbers and guides who mostly are still alive (34 people in multiple, competing expeditions tried to reach the summit on those fateful days).

Every serious climber in the world reportedly has an opinion about the true causes of the ’96 Everest disaster. Their ideas might provide the starting point for a very interesting film. — KEN KORMAN TCM Presents Psycho (NR) — Runaway secretary Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) checks into a lonely motel owned

REVIEW

Hispanic Convergence in New Orleans and Pitcha This, Ya’ Heard me

This Hispanic Convergence expo at the Mexican consulate is a local first.

With work by more than 20 Mexican, Argentine, Puerto Rican, Salvadoran, Colombian and Cuban artists, Convergence is eclectic yet noteworthy for the transnational leadership displayed by the Mexican consulate — and for its timing, coinciding with an opportunistic and trash-talking politician’s insurgent presidential bid. But culture trumps trash talk, and this show features many of the psychological, surreal and whimsical qualities long associated with Hispanic art. Standouts include Alana (pictured) by Ana Gaby Alanis, in which a rapturous woman evokes an unlikely sort of saint — perhaps THRU Pitcha This, Ya’ Heard Me?: Our Lady of Lower Life Forms — as OCT Mixed-media paintings by frogs, spiders, snakes and scorpions Charles Beau von Hoffacker cling to her. Also provocative are photographs by Cristina Molina and Fred Barrister’s Gallery, Husserl, Vanessa Centeno’s colorful 2331 St. Claude Ave. mixed-media creations and Jackie Cerise’s (504) 710-4506 paintings of nudes and Sacred Hearts. Works www.barristersgallery.com created by artists on the consulate staff include Belinda Shinshillas’ color-field Hispanic Convergence in paintings and Aura Maury’s phoTHRU New Orleans: Group exhibition tographs — but the most striking OCT by artists of the Americas thing of all is the example of robust cultural leadership shown by the Consulate of Mexico Art Mexican consulate.

Gallery, 901 Convention Equally surprising are white New Orleans Center Blvd, Suite 118 policeman Charles Beau von Hoffacker’s (504) 528-3722 paintings of young black men whose distressed lives and violent deaths define our www.culturalagendaoftheconmost troubled neighborhoods. Working with sulateofmexico.blogspot.com acrylic paints infused with his own formula of pulverized copper, brass and gunpowder, Hoffacker bases his works on social media photos selected by his subjects, images that reveal a broad spectrum of innocence and menace. Despite occasional gangster posturing, all reflect a striking degree of objectivity and empathy, and it’s clear Hoffacker is the rare artist — or police officer — who tries to relate to the underlying humanity of this volatile subculture.

This stark yet compelling exhibition challenges the rest of us to better understand the lives of those among us who have fewer advantages. — D. ERIC BOOKHARDT

STAGE LISTINGS REVIEW

The Producers

P H O T O BY J O H N B A R R O I S

Timid accountant Leo Bloom wants to be a Broadway producer, but he’s barely able to talk to a woman, let alone put on a show. When he checks the books for famed producer Max Bialystock, however, he realizes a producer could make millions if a show flops. He casually mentions this to Max, who then runs with the idea in The Producers, The Producers the musical adaptaTHRU tion of Mel Brooks’ 1967 SEPT 8 p.m. Fri.-Sat.; 2 p.m. Sun. movie, now playing at Rivertown Theaters for the Rivertown Theaters for Performing Arts, 325 Minor St., Kenner the Performing Arts.

(504) 461-9475 Max (Sean Patterson) is greedy and unscrupulous. He www.rivertowntheaters.com raises money for his shows by canoodling with rich older women. Max is sleazy, but Patterson gives him sufficient emotional range to make him personable. As producing partners, the cocky Max and insecure Leo (Gary Rucker) are opposites. Rucker plays Leo with a mix of wide-eyed nerves and charm.

He’s a confident performer even when his character isn’t. Patterson’s performance is full of personality, and his presence fills the stage. Rucker and Patterson play off each other’s energy and that dynamic is fun to watch.

In one of the most dramatic scenes, Bloom stands with a calculator, surrounded by fellow accountants, and sings about his big dreams. Eventually, he is joined by a tap-dancing chorus line, choreographed by Kelly Fouchi, Caroline Cuseo and Karen Hebert. The scene showcases what Rivertown consistently brings to its musicals: strong voices, elaborate sets (this one designed by Marty Aikens) and energetic group numbers.

Leo and Max decide to produce German-born Franz Liebkind’s (Alan Payne) musical, Springtime for Hitler, which they think should guarantee a flop. The play within the play provides a satirical insight about the fickle nature of popularity and the public. Payne’s Liebkind is hilariously weird — his goose-stepping is almost performance art. On Springtime’s opening night, the leading man gets hurt and director Roger De Bris (Kevin Murphy) must step into the role. Murphy is excellent; the story calls for him to play De Bris as an over-the-top gay stereotype, but he doesn’t push it too far.

The Swedish bombshell Ulla (Cuseo) auditions for the show and ultimately falls in love with Bloom. Cuseo has a standout voice and brings an interesting mix of quirkiness and sexiness to the show, particularly in the solo “When You Got It, Flaunt It.” The Producers is a fun, energetic production, full of darkly humorous jokes delivered by a talented cast. — TYLER GILLESPIE

2.

Dominick M. Maome has offered to purchase the above described

immovable property at private sale for the sum of ONE HUNDRED SIXTY-FIVE THOUSAND ($165,000.00) AND NO/100 DOLLARS on the terms and conditions set forth below.

3.

The terms and conditions of this offer are as follows: (a) The sale is conditioned upon the ability of the buyer to secure financing of 80% of the purchase price at a fixed rate of interest of not to exceed 4.5% per annum, with repayment of interest and principal to be amortized over 30 years. (b) The sale is conditioned upon payment by the estate of $2000 of the buyer’s closing costs, pre-paids and points. Following inspections, and based upon the findings upon inspection, the estate is obligated to pay $5,000 of the closing costs, pre-paids and points, in lieu of making repairs. (c) The sale is further conditioned upon the property appraising for no less than the sales price.

4.

The reason for the proposed sale is to realize sufficient funds to pay the debts and charges of the estate, pay special bequests made by the deceased in his last will and testament, to complete administration of the Succession and make division of the assets of the estate amongst the residuary heirs possible.

This spectacular Thomas Sully Mansion, built in 1880 for Joseph Walker, was meticulously restored in 2002.

Truly one of the Avenue’s finest examples of Queen Ann Italianate homes! The original details, beautiful inlaid pecan floors and spectacular gourmet kitchen make it an incredible home for entertaining and raising a family. The 3rd floor could be used as an apartment or a mother-in-law suite. Spacious carriage house, enough for overflow guests and the 4 car garage really comes in handy during Carnival!

Gambit’s longtime crossword constructor, Merl Reagle, died Aug. 22 of complications related to pancreatitis.

He was 65 and will be missed by the many editors who enjoyed running his puzzles. While Merl never can be replaced, in the weeks to come we will try out some crosswords that are popular in other alt-weekly newspapers.

Please let us know your which you prefer. Email response@gambitweekly.com with “crossword” in the subject line. Happy solving.
