See what’s developing Developers are seeking approval for large housing complexes in neighborhoods all over town — but finding mixed reactions.

By Robert Morris | Uptown Messenger

Phyllis Landrieu, a former Orleans Parish School Board member and the aunt of Mayor Mitch Landrieu, plans to replace two small homes at the corner of St. Charles Avenue and First Street with a 57-foot-tall building with 10 three-bedroom condo units inside and a pool and gym on top.

Landrieu and her supporters say the existing ranch-style homes are out of place on St. Charles Avenue, and that the proposed $5 million building will enhance the grand avenue.

“It amazes me that they ever allowed two ranch-style, Metairie-type homes to be built on that corner,” said Greg Landrieu, her son. “Although they are very nice homes — my mother and father certainly enjoyed living there for the last 25 years — they’re out of place, and it’s time for them to go.”

Landrieu’s building would be adjacent to another condo complex in the same block, and it was residents of that building who provided the most opposition to her proposal. They said they had a petition of 90 neighbors in opposition, and argued that the proposed development will take up too much of the lot and be too close to their building.

A

new condominium building on St. Charles Avenue in the Garden District received approval from city planners last week, while a larger condo project intended to replace an apartment complex at State and Tchoupitoulas streets was recommended for denial.

Meanwhile, city officials are waiting on more information about a new mixed-use development on Royal Street in Bywater, the redevelopment of the former Sara Mayo hospital in the Irish Channel and a similar development at the intersection of Washington Avenue and South Jefferson Davis Parkway in Gert Town.

All together, the projects represent nearly 800 new condo and apartment units in neighborhoods around the city — but the City Planning Commission and neighbors have objections, and the developers agree with some of them.

“Along St. Charles, Developers want to tear down this tall buildings detract building on the corner of Washington from the ambience Avenue and South Jefferson Davis of the avenue,” said Parkway, adjacent to the Blue Plate Helen Ullrich, one Artist Lofts, and replace it with a of the opponents, five-story complex of residential units, retail space and a covered parking suggesting that garage. The City Planning Commission the nearby Louise deferred action on the proposal for S. McGehee School 30 days. buildings be a good P H O T O B Y K A N D A C E P O W ER G R AV E S model for future height limits.

Andre Gaudin, president of the Garden District Association, said he understands there already are taller buildings on St. Charles Avenue, but he wants the trend to stop. “We are concerned that the avenue will become a fortress of buildings on either side,” Gaudin said.

Planning Commission Chair Kyle Wedberg noted that the existing condo building on the block is larger than the one Landrieu proposes. While he said Gaudin brings up an issue that bears further discussion, he feels the Landrieu proposal is worth supporting. The commissioners voted 5-1 to recommend its approval.

At State and Tchoupitoulas streets, developer Jim MacPhaille would like to replace 13 red brick apartment buildings with a single condo structure with 49 units. Attorney Justin Schmidt said he has more than 500 letters supporting the project. Of the existing buildings, Schmidt said, “This is not the model we want for our city.”

Keith Miller, a neighbor in support of the project, says crime, trash and other issues at the existing apartments have hindered the growth of the neighborhood. “The vast majority of the neighbors support the project in this area,” added Audubon Riverside Neighborhood Association member Evan Plauche.

Other neighbors were unenthusiastic. Tchoupitoulas Street resident Dara Hoell praised the angular orientation of MacPhaille’s building on the lot, but said it would dwarf the surrounding homes.

“I don’t think this is the model we want for the neighborhood,” Hoell said.

MacPhaille’s project also faced a more significant opponent: the city planning staff. Their report argued that the city’s Master Plan classifies the area as residential low-density, and that in it, multi-family housing such as apartments can be preserved, but not torn down and replaced with new multi-family projects.

NEWS VIEWS PAGE 7

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > SEPTEMBER 29 > 2015

Commissioner Robert Steeg said while there is a consensus around removing the existing apartments, the Master Plan is clear that they should only be replaced with single- or two-family homes, and proposed accepting the staff’s recommendation to deny the project. With that, they voted 6-1 to recommend denial, with Commissioner Nolan Marshall III the lone vote in MacPhaille’s favor. After the meeting, he said he believed the commission has more discretion with regard to the master plan’s requirements, since the condo project met all the other density regulations.

“I thought the developer did everything he could to try to accommodate the neighbors,” Marshall said.

Both of the decisions by the City Planning Commission on St. Charles Avenue and on State Street will require final approval by the City Council.

buildings up to 75 feet tall, build a new road through the property from Dauphine Street to Chartres Street, and have 282 parking spaces in a garage on the Press Street side.

The application does not specify prices for the units, but it does tout the value of resident diversity, and notes the nearby Rice Mill Lofts are 12 percent families with children, 20 percent minorities and 30 percent working families — “diversity that by comparison exceeds the neighborhood demographics generally,” it says. It also argues that the increased availability of housing will drive down market pressure on nearby homes.

The city planning staff praised a number of elements of the plan. It would bring new life to “underutilized warehouses,” but the overall density of the project, the staff said, is simply too high, and the parking needs would overwhelm the neighborhood.

The party’s endorsement committee members include Republican elected officials who reside in Jefferson, parish executive committee members, state central committee members who reside in Jefferson, and leaders of the parish’s six Republican women’s organizations.

In addition to choosing Nungesser over Young, the group voted to endorse

Mid-City, Latter libraries to close

Future location of Mid-City branch up in the air

Two New Orleans Public Library (NOPL) branches will be closing in the next few weeks, with the future of one still in question.

New Orleans District A City Councilwoman Susan Guidry says she hopes to secure an extension beyond the Nov. 1 deadline for the city to vacate the American Can Apartments building, where the Mid-City branch library currently operates. City officials are scrambling to secure a new Mid-City location, but finding a space that meets NOPL’s needs is not a simple task.

Those requirements are a minimum of 4,500 square feet, adjacent parking and visibility, not to mention affordability, says NOPL Executive Director Charles Brown.

Brown says there’s no timetable for completing the move.

“Negotiating a lease arrangement and doing any kind of build-out or renovations that might be necessary make it unlikely — it’s possible, but it would be unlikely — that we would relocate from the American Can location directly into another location,” Brown said.

Meanwhile, the Milton H. Latter branch Uptown will close for about three months starting Nov. 6 for the second half of a two-phase renovation project costing $2.1 million.

The first phase was completed in October 2013. The project includes interior and exterior finishes and electrical replacements. The Friends of the New Orleans Public Library PAGE 10

U.S. Sen. David Vitter in the race for governor — but sources say it was by the closest of margins: one vote. And that, several sources say, came after a runoff ballot between Vitter and Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne.

In other hotly contested local races, the party officials have endorsed state Sen. Conrad Appel for re-election in Senate District 9; state Reps. Nick Lorusso and Chris Leopold in House Districts 94 and 105, respectively; Kenner Mayor Mike Yenni for parish president; Chris Roberts for council at-large; Ricky Templet in Council District 1; Paul Johnston in Council District 2; and Jennifer Van Vrancken in Council District 5. — CLANCY DuBOS

book sale will move temporarily to the Algiers Regional Library while the Latter branch is closed.

The good news, in Guidry’s view, is that the library’s success in the American Can building has demonstrated the viability of a permanent — and larger — Mid-City branch. If all goes according to plan, the new space will be approximately 50 percent larger. Guidry says she’s not sure what sort of flexibility landlord ACV VII might allow on the move-out date; the company had not responded to a query as of Sept. 24.

Randy Opotowsky, an attorney representing ACV VII, notified the city Aug. 28 that his client needed possession of the space by Nov. 1, a move that surprised city officials. The library was operating on a month-to-month arrangement that replaced a permanent lease that expired in November 2014, six months ahead of a public referendum on a tax increase for the library system. The 2.5-mill increase passed overwhelmingly, providing the system with an additional $8 million in annual revenue.

Brown says uncertainty over the referendum necessitated the month-to-month arrangement and that Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s administration was preparing to negotiate a new long-term lease, but there had been no discussions with the landlord by the time the letter arrived, nearly four months after the millage vote.

Following the referendum, Brown says he and his staff were busy focusing on a 30 percent increase in the system’s operating hours and rebuilding the Nora Navra branch in the 7th Ward, both of which he had pledged to do if voters agreed to the millage. Renegotiating the American Can lease didn’t rank as high on the priority list, he says.

“As a long-term, established tenant of this facility, we didn’t think that on May 3, the day after the millage passed, that our top priority would be negotiating with the owners of American Can to change our lease,” Brown said. “We were working on it, but it didn’t seem to be as urgent as some of the other things we needed to do.”

In the meantime, ACV II apparently was talking to potential new tenants. Guidry says the landlord came to terms with a tenant that

wants to build out multiple spaces, but she doesn’t know who the tenant is. — BENJAMIN MYERS | MIDCITY MESSENGER

Jindal: I’m here to stay

Poll shows Jindal at 0.3 percent in presidential race

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, once a frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination, dropped his bid last week, saying, “I am being called to lead by helping to clear the field in this race.” But Gov. Bobby Jindal’s not going anywhere, he told Fox News’ Megyn Kelly last week. “We’re running a great campaign here on the ground — in Iowa we’re doing great, building great crowds,” Jindal said, adding his usual line that it was time to fire “the establishment” in Washington, D.C. In a Real Clear Politics average of polls taken between Aug. 31 and Sept. 19, Walker had 1.8 percent support. Jindal had one-sixth that level of support: 0.3 percent. — KEVIN ALLMAN

No butts in City Putt, no smoking in Storyland

City Park commissioners weigh smoking ban

The first draft of New Orleans City Park’s proposed smoking ban would apply only to Storyland and City Putt, but it drew a wide range of reactions from park commissioners — some who wanted to ban smoking across the entire park, and some who wanted no ban at all.

The proposal presented last week by Board President Susan Hess and CEO Bob Becker is limited in one way and broad in another. It prohibits smoking, including electronic cigarettes and tobacco products, in City Putt and Storyland, which are recreational areas popular with children. Signage discouraging smoking would go up in other areas of the park.

Becker would then have authority to impose additional prohibitions throughout the park as he sees fit.

Some commissioners pushed for stricter guidelines, but Commissioner Edgar Chase was critical on several fronts. The general concept of smoking regulations may be unfair and outside the board’s

purview, Chase said, and the resolution itself is “overbroad.” He added that the process for drafting it — undertaken by a five-member subcommittee, including Hess and Becker — was too secretive.

After the meeting, Hess said the subcommittee studied practices at large parks in several cities, including New York City, Cincinnati and San Francisco. “We had a huge range of findings,” she said.

Some parks do nothing, some parks are completely smoke free.

And there’s everything in between.

We tried to come down in a reasonable way.”

As far as a parkwide smoking ban, “It’s not the same thing if you’re walking in Couturie Forest and there’s no one else around as compared to being in Storyland and there’s a crowd of 3-year-olds,” Hess said.

“We tried to be sensitive to all those possibilities.”

Commissioner Errol Laborde said he preferred to see no smoking at all in the park, and Commissioner Michael Hollis questioned the exclusion of Tad Gormley Stadium from the resolution. Becker told commissioners City Park lacks the enforcement means to impose a parkwide ban.

“We chose to begin this process with smaller areas that were fenced because those were the areas we thought we could control the best, and because the children are there,” Becker said, explaining the rationale of limiting the strict prohibition to City Putt and Storyland. “Rules that aren’t enforced to me are almost worse than nothing.”

The board did not set a timetable for making a decision. — BENJAMIN MYERS | MID-CITY MESSENGER

A Journey of Excellence

The recent 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina gave us a chance to reflect on how far the region has come, and also to say thank you to the many volunteers and benefactors who helped along the way. One of the biggest contributions locally came from the oil-rich nation of Qatar, which as you noted, is in the Middle East. Situated on the Persian Gulf, it has the world’s third largest natural gas reserves and a large oil reserve, both of which contribute to its standing as the country with the highest per capita income in the world.

The nation has been generous to New Orleans. After Katrina, the nation’s Qatar Katrina Fund established a program to support 18 local projects in health care, education and housing, donating $100 million in all. That included about $38.4 million for education, including scholarships at Loyola, Tulane and Xavier universities; $27.5 million for health care, including $5 million each to Children’s Hospital and Tulane Community Health Center; and $34 million for housing, including a large donation to Habitat for Humanity.

On Xavier’s campus, $12.5 million helped fund construction of the five-story, 60,000-square-foot pharmacy building. Dedicated in 2010, it helped expand Xavier’s pharmacy school, one of only two such schools in the state. In 2008, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, who at that time was the emir, or ruler, of Qatar, visited Xavier for a firsthand look at what had developed from the donation.

According to The New York Times, he told students, “We are all neighbors in a small and fragile world.”

T THE ONLY CATHOLIC SCHOOL IN NEW ORLEANS FOR BOYS GRADES PRE-K - 12

The Qatar Pharmacy Pavilion at Xavier University was funded in part by a large donation from the Qatar Katrina Fund.

his week marks the 50th anniversary of a milestone for the local Catholic church — the appointment of Philip Matthew Hannan as the 11th Archbishop of New Orleans. Hannan, who at the time was auxiliary bishop of his hometown of Washington, D.C., was appointed to the New Orleans post on Sept. 29, 1965.

Before coming here, Hannan was chaplain to paratroopers of the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne Division during World War II. He later became a confidant of the Kennedy family during his time in D.C. and took part in the funeral Mass for President John F. Kennedy in 1963.

Hannan arrived in New Orleans just a month after Hurricane Betsy ravaged the area. The need to repair damaged church and school buildings, combined with the church’s need to respond to the social changes underway at the time, meant the new archbishop’s tenure would be anything but ordinary. Hannan is credited with instituting social service programs and overseeing a time of expansion and growth for the local archdiocese. He also hosted Pope John Paul II during his 1987 visit to New Orleans. Hannan stepped down a year later, when he reached the mandatory retirement age of 75, but he remained active. He died at age 98 on the 46th anniversary of his appointment — Sept. 29, 2011.

Survivor: Louisiana

ouisiana voters now have less than four weeks to winnow the field of governor candidates down to two. Put another way, the major candidates have little time to slice and dice one another to smithereens.

Except, of course, for lone major Democrat John Bel Edwards. The state representative from Amite has gone from “John Who?” a year ago to the frontrunner — without getting any scars and without getting his hands dirty. That’s partly because he’s the only major Dem in the contest and partly because the guy with the most money, U.S. Sen. David Vitter, wants Edwards as his runoff opponent. Rest assured Vitter will have plenty to say about Edwards if the two men face off in November.

Meanwhile, Vitter’s main GOP rivals — Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne and Public Service Commissioner Scott Angelle, along with various anti-Vitter super PACs — are hoping to chop into Vitter’s vote and make it a real race, at least on the Republican side.

That’s an interesting facet of the Oct. 24 primary. Although technically a nonpartisan contest, with all candidates vying for the top two spots in a political free-for-all, the Oct. 24 ballot is actually a mini-GOP primary.

That’s because Edwards, as the lone Democrat, is virtually assured of a runoff spot; in fact, he could easily finish first, with somewhere north of 30 percent of the vote on Oct. 24.

The three main Republican candidates are fighting it out for the other runoff spot. Until recently, it was assumed that Vitter had the edge. Then Angelle went on TV and radio while Vitter’s “soft” support among evangelicals, Republicans and senior citizens began to fade. Vitter went from 35-38 percent in springtime

Lone Democrat John Bel Edwards (top left) remains unscathed in the race for governor, while Republicans (clockwise from top right) Scott Angelle, David Vitter and Jay Dardenne are duking it out in a primary-within-the-primary.

polls to 22-26 percent in September surveys — while Angelle rose from around 9-12 percent to the high teens and low 20s, putting him within striking distance of Vitter. Dardenne stayed quiet until qualifying, but now he’s hoping to match his GOP rivals on paid media.

The result is a Republican primarywithin-the-primary. Vitter still has more money than all his opponents combined, and he will use it to try to drown out whatever attacks his opponents fire his way. He’s also lobbing grenades at Dardenne and Angelle.

All that GOP infighting raises some interesting questions. For starters, will the man who makes it to the four-week runoff be able to mend fences quickly with the two losing Republicans and gain their endorsements? If not, will the also-rans sit out the runoff or possibly endorse Edwards, who has not said an unkind word about any of them (except Vitter once in a while)? Moreover, will the GOP brand be so bloodied that Edwards, who has remained unscathed thus far, looks like the only clean guy left standing?

Of course, it’s just as likely that the Republican faithful will close ranks behind the GOP contender no matter who he is.

For now, it’s interesting to see polls that show Edwards leading Vitter for the first time in a head-to-head matchup.

That’s not necessarily a prediction of how things will turn out, but I suspect it does reflect how things are going in the Louisiana GOP version of Survivor.

THE INTERNET

n August, shortly before journalists descended on New Orleans for a week of coverage and events the city had hashtagged #Katrina10, Chicago Tribune editorial board member Kristen McQueary (aka @StatehouseChick on Twitter) sent a tweet: “‘Chicago is so good at hiding its rot.’ My Friday column. Wishing for a #HurricaneKatrina #RahmEmanuel”

HATES YOU.

BY KEVIN ALLMAN

In “The Coddling of the American Mind,” the cover story in this month’s The Atlantic, authors Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt note, “When speech comes to be seen as a form of violence, vindictive protectiveness can justify a hostile, and perhaps even violent response.”

One of the ways “vindictive protectiveness” manifests: public shaming. It’s a centuries-old tradition, but today it takes the form of a keyboard instead of stocks in the public square.

In his book, Ronson relates what happened to Justine Sacco, a public relations executive who achieved instant notoriety in 2013 for an idiotic tweet she fired off just before a long plane flight: “Going to Africa. Hope I don’t get AIDS. Just kidding. I’m white!”

Over the next few hours, the comment was retweeted around the world; for a while, Ronson writes, “Justine Sacco” was the world’s top trending topic on Twitter. Sacco found out about her worldwide infamy only when she landed 11 hours later. She lost her job.

In December 2013, “Justine Sacco” was Googled 1.2 million times.

More recently, Texan Monica Foy attempted to make a bitter joke about the way some attempt to dig into the past of black men killed by police in order to prove that the deceased was “no angel” or something similar. “I can’t believe so PAGE 18

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > SEPTEMBER 29 > 2015

Social media has taken the age-old act of public shaming global and instant. What’s it like to be pilloried around the world?

The column, which was headlined “In Chicago, Wishing For a Hurricane Katrina,” expressed McQueary’s desire for “An unpredictable, haughty, devastating swirl of fury. A dramatic levee break. Geysers bursting through manhole covers.

A sleeping city, forced onto the rooftops.”

Why would a Chicagoan want that graphic nightmare visited upon her city? “That’s what it took to hit the reset button in New Orleans,” she concluded.

Within hours, the headline was changed to the more innocuous “Chicago, New Orleans, and Rebirth,” and the story was rewritten to reflect McQueary’s wish for a “figurative” storm, one that would sweep away Chicago’s “rot.” (There was nothing figurative about the original column.)

But the images of New Orleans’ destruction as a metaphor for fixing Chicago’s infrastructure remained.

New Orleanians are used to unfortunate references to Katrina, whether it’s former House Speaker Dennis Hastert’s suggestion that the city be bulldozed, or website commenters who call the Big Easy a pit, a sewer, a place that was improved by the levee collapses. What was different in this case was the source: an editorial board member of one of the country’s largest newspapers.

The reaction was predictable — in both Chicago and New Orleans. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a McQueary adversary, denounced the column, calling it “morally reprehensible.” Salon.com called it “the most appalling op-ed of the year.” The National Association of Black Journalists’

Chicago chapter demanded a public apology from McQueary (who is white) and asked that she be suspended for two weeks.

Within minutes of sending her tweet and posting her column, McQueary had a violent social media backlash, with people on Facebook and Twitter accusing her of heartlessness at best and racism at worst. “Scum,” “bitch” and “cunt” were among the hundreds of epithets aimed at her; some people said she should die.

Three weeks after her column appeared, McQueary still was getting angry tweets.

“RACIST FILTH,” one person wrote. Another tweeted, “She is vile and deserves a private Katrina.”

In his new book So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed, Jon Ronson notes, “I suppose that when shamings are delivered like remotely administered drone strikes nobody needs to think about how ferocious our collective power might be. The snowflake never needs to feel responsible for the avalanche.”

I wondered: What is it like at the bottom of that avalanche? I had a trip planned to Chicago. So I emailed McQueary, asking to meet her, and when she didn’t respond, I tried again.

many people care about a dead cop and NO ONE has thought to ask what he did to deserve it. He had creepy perv eyes,” Foy wrote. That comment went around the world as well; Foy recently told New York magazine she’s had dozens of death threats.

It doesn’t take that much to be provocative. Earlier this month, the Kenner car dealership Lamarque Ford got into hot water after a local Twitter user, @YesICandice, tweeted, “Has anyone seen the HORRIBLE new Ronnie Lamarque commercial?! TERRIBLE!!!!!!” The official @LamarqueFord account snapped back, “Not as horrible as those eyebrows of yours, quit hating on people who actually DO shit. Those commercials are perfection.”

Nearly four hours later, after the company had taken a thorough bashing in the New Orleans Twitter community, Lamarque Ford tweeted an apology, adding “Actions have been taken.”

Chicago columnists long have been known for tough talk and bluff pronouncements.

In 1996, the city’s dean of newspaper columnists, Mike Royko, wrote a column that created an uproar among Hispanics.

“There is no reason for Mexico to be such a mess except that it is run by Mexicans, who have clearly

established that they don’t know what the heck they are doing,” Royko wrote. “Just name one thing that Mexico has done this century that has been of any genuine use to the rest of this planet. Besides giving us tequila. See? You can’t. If you are honest, you will admit that it is kind of a useless country.

And before its entire population sneaks across the border, we should seize it and make it a colony. We should grab it, privatize the whole country and turn a neat profit by giving Club Med the franchise.”

Outrageous? Racist? Royko was lampooning then-presidential candidate Pat Buchanan’s position on illegal immigration. Some people didn’t get it. Others did, and still didn’t like it. In those pre-social media days, people responded via 20th century means, including a demonstration outside the Tribune and hundreds of outraged phone calls, including one that said “You lousy motherf—, I’m gonna put two bullets in your head.” (Royko included it in a subsequent column, adding, “How wasteful. One would do the job.”)

Like Royko, McQueary leads with her chin in print (last year, she taunted Emanuel, calling him a “walking personality disorder”) and isn’t inclined to apologize. But she attempted to explain her Katrina column in a terse followup titled “Hurricane Katrina and What Was in My Heart,” writing, “I wrote what I did not out of lack of empathy, or racism, but out of longstanding frustration

with Chicago’s poorly managed finances.”

McQueary added, “I am horrified and sickened at how that column was read to mean I would be gunning for actual death and destruction.”

But that, as readers pointed out, was exactly what she had written, and in graphic terms. Moreover, what they wanted was an apology, not an explanation.

A few people said McQueary had nothing for which to apologize. Michael Miner, the longtime media critic for the Chicago Reader, defended her in a column which received such blowback of its own that Miner wrote his own followup, acknowledging, “I will say simply that the offended black voices of New Orleans have every right to complain that McQueary treated them cavalierly” — as if it were purely a racial issue and ignoring that plenty of “white voices” and Chicagoans were offended as well.

(One commenter on Miner’s story wrote, “The things that McQueary was extolling as a cure for Chicago’s ills are broken here. I moved from Chicago to New Orleans 7 years ago and I LONG for some Chicago-style corruption. Or infrastructure at least.”)

Some continued to call for McQueary to be fired. Tribune editorial page director Bruce Dold finally issued a statement to Chicago’s WGN-TV that said, “McQueary’s column credits the resilience and ingenuity of the people of New Orleans and

pleads for dramatic change in Chicago, which has not faced up to its financial crisis. That is her point.

“Her use of Hurricane Katrina as metaphor has unfortunately been misconstrued.”

Sometimes people online are pilloried even for things they didn’t do.

Last November, Campbell Robertson, the New Orleansbased reporter for The New York Times, was in Ferguson, Missouri, awaiting the grand jury decision in the Michael Brown case. Brown was the 18-year-old man shot and killed

by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson; like dozens of other journalists, Robertson was awaiting the release of the grand jury report. In the meantime, there was little to write about, so when he got a tip that Wilson recently had married, he paid $4 to a St. Louis County clerk for a copy of Wilson’s marriage license. He and fellow Times reporter Julie Bosman wrote a quick online story about the wedding, a brief item that never saw print.

Almost immediately afterward, the grand jury decision — thousands of pages long — came down, so Robertson got to work and forgot about the wedding story.

The Internet, however, did not.

“I was up all night reading thousands of pages of grand jury material,” Robertson says, “and I don’t believe I was aware anything was going on at that time.” After a three-hour nap, PAGE 21

“It made it look like we had run it,” Robertson says. “And that wasn’t squared away for several days.”

Soon after, Robertson received a text from his father in Alabama, saying that a muckraking blogger named Charles C. Johnson was looking for him.

“And within a couple of hours,” Robertson says, “my Twitter account exploded.”

Johnson had published Robertson and Bosman’s home addresses (with their house numbers), which were being shared on social media.

“I called my wife and the phone was ringing off the hook,” Robertson says. “I told her to get out of the house and take our 1-year-old.”

One website posted Robertson’s address to Facebook; it was shared nearly a million times. Photos of the Robertson residence were posted on social media and websites.

Maybe hire a couple basketball players and homeless guys to run the good ole sodomy express through him first?” On another website, “Anon Emus” took on Bosman: “Send some big guys to beat the crap out of this Bitch. Wait for her to come to work or leave and beat her until she’s unrecognizable… same goes for the guy too.”

Robertson’s wife and son did not return to New Orleans for a month.

The next night, Fox News personality Sean Hannity made reference to the story. “We have another issue surrounding this debacle in Ferguson, and this one has to do with the media,” Hannity said, “with The New York Times releasing the actual home address of officer Darren Wilson.”

“No way,” said guest Deroy Murdock.

“There you have it right there,” Hannity said grimly, showing a screenshot of the Times story with a black bar over the street name — implying it was concealing a

street name and house number.

At the bottom of the screen, in large capital letters, were the names JULIE BOSMAN and CAMPBELL ROBERTSON. “They are literally putting that man and his family in mortal danger,” Murdock said — referring to Wilson, not Robertson.

“I was back in the house a week later and the phone was still ringing every two minutes,” Robertson remembers.

“I didn’t check voicemail. But I got hundreds of handwritten letters. There were a lot of just ‘Go to hell.’ A lot of it was just vulgar, ‘You suck.’ There was obviously really some racially horrific stuff — just a handful out of hundreds that were generally disconcerting.”

Robertson didn’t go back to work for a month. During that time, someone called the New Orleans Police Department, impersonating him and saying there was a health emergency at the house. Another person put an ad on Craigslist, advertising a moving sale at Robertson’s house. Others used his name to subscribe

to catalogs and magazines.

And the letters kept coming for weeks, finally slowing to a trickle.

“It would be very different if I didn’t have a wife and a kid,” he says now, nearly a year later. “It was more weird than anxiety-inducing.”

Unlike McQueary or Sacco, though, he hadn’t written the words for which he was being pilloried.

“It’s not like you did something stupid and you can apologize for it,” Robertson says. “And it’s not something you did you think was right, something you can defend. It was some weird minor thing that wasn’t even done.

“It’s all a complete, postmodern, strange nightmare.”

Like a tornado, public shaming and Internet attacks can level one house, while leaving identical houses untouched.

In July, Minnesota dentist Walter Palmer was briefly the most hated man on social media when it emerged he had paid tens of thousands of dollars to shoot Cecil, a

he awoke to find “my phone had blown up,” he says. People were saying he and Bosman had published Wilson’s home address in their story, in a photo of the marriage license.

Robertson was horrified.

Printing Wilson’s address would have been a serious violation of ethics, and could put the Wilson family in danger. Surely he and Bosman couldn’t have done such a thing. Could they? He called his editors.

While the story did include the name of Wilson’s street (which had appeared before in many other news accounts), the image of the wedding license had an address on it. But it wasn’t Wilson’s home address; it was the address of Wilson’s lawyer’s office.

In an attempt to stanch the furor, an editor took down the image of the license and appended a note to the end of the story: “An earlier version of this post included a photograph that contained information that should not have been made public. The image has been removed.” That, as it turned out, made things worse.

Jimmy John Liautaud, CEO of the Jimmy John’s sandwich shops, has posed, grinning and with thumbs-up, on the corpse of an elephant he shot for sport.

Presidential candidate Donald Trump has defended his sons after photos of them holding up a dead cheetah and an elephant’s severed tail were made public. They’re all public figures, but none received the worldwide condemnation that Palmer did.

What McQueary wrote was dumb and tone-deaf, but plenty of people have said much worse things about New Orleans.

Why, I wondered, had she reaped this particular whirlwind? And what did she intend to do about it?

A week after I contacted her, McQueary emailed back. She hadn’t spoken to the press about the column except to issue the followup, but she said she’d be “grateful” to have coffee.

In a subsequent email, she wrote, “Will you be writing off of this? I need to know because I have not spoken publicly about the column and am a little gun shy to do so. But not necessarily opposed.

Just want to know your intentions.”

I followed up with a note: “I thought we could talk off the record for a bit and just speak personally about the column. … While I certainly can understand your gun-shyness, I would like then to go on the record.”

I checked her Twitter account later that day. She had long moved on from the topic of Katrina and had just written another column slamming Emanuel, this time over property taxes. But readers had not moved on.

One person responded, “How much would he have to raise property taxes after a Katrina — like the one you wished for?”

Over Labor Day weekend, I met McQueary in a coffee shop on the bottom floor of the Tribune offices on Michigan Avenue, the posh shopping boulevard Chicago has dubbed the

Magnificent Mile. Here, at least, the city needs no “reset button”; kayakers cruise past on the Chicago River, medians are planted with flowers and that day there was a pop-up Nordstrom store across the street in Pioneer Court.

We talked for half an hour — off the record. I told her though I disagreed with the column, I was sorry for the viciousness aimed her way. I shared a few stories of New Orleanians after the levee collapses: people who lost everything, one friend who tried to kill himself.

I told her that much of the recovery she envies was due to billions of dollars in federal disaster relief and insurance payouts, and that an infusion of that sort of cash would improve Chicago’s schools and infrastructure even without a hurricane. I asked what her life’s been like since her name went around the world as a symbol of callousness.

That’s about all I can say about our meeting, because in the end, McQueary declined to speak on the record.

We shook hands, and she left the coffee shop quickly, going back to her editorial writing and her postavalanche life.

I don’t think Kristen McQueary is a monster. I don’t think she bore any conscious malice. And I still don’t think she gets it.

In the end, stupid statements are just words, and public shaming, destructive and upsetting as it can be, is just more words. Palmer, the lion-killing dentist, is back at work. Robertson is reporting again. Sacco told Ronson she’s rebuilding her life in a new job.

McQueary came off better than any of them. Unlike many of the people who’ve felt the wrath of social media and its torrent-to-trickle of outrage, she has a family, a job, a house and bosses who still have her back.

Two weeks later, I checked her Twitter account. “Arcane law in PA could cause more than 1,300 bottles of wine to be poured down the drain,” she noted, posting a Tribune story.

The first response: “But is it a ‘Katrina-level’ disaster?”

GREE EEN LOCAL SCHOOLS EMBRACE CAMPUS-BASED EDIBLE GARDENS

BY LEE CUTRONE chen, where students conduct various projects, including developing original herb blends used for cooking and making dipping oils and dressings that are sold to help raise money for the program.

Malone says the herb blends project has taught students a host of business lessons including marketing, package design, quality control and assembly-line production. According to Malone and Parks, lessons are wide-ranging: brainstorming, conceptualizing, decision-making, supply and demand, food chemistry, math and science, history, cultural culinary traditions, sustainability practices such as composting and more.

As the service component, St. Paul students share the benefits of gardening through the school’s PAWS to Work program in which students build gardens for other schools and the elderly. So far, St. Paul’s students have installed gardens for a senior citizens community center and the New Orleans Oral School for the hearing impaired.

“The garden is considered a classroom,” Parks says. “At St. Paul’s there is a lot of integrated learning. We believe in learning by doing and not just reading it in a book.”

The New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts (NOCCA), Louisiana’s public arts conservatory, offers students a hands-on garden experience that cuts across the spectrum of educational disciplines and extends beyond the campus.

The school first cultivated gardens in satellite green spaces, rented from

Habitat Urban Garden for $1 apiece, near the campus. Earlier this year, NOCCA opened the on-site Press Street Gardens, for use by its faculty, staff, students and the public. It’s a project of the NOCCA Institute, the school’s nonprofit partner organization. In addition to being used by the Culinary Arts Department, now in its fifth year, the garden is used by the Academic Studio, which incorporates it into science, math and history lessons, and the Visual Arts Department, which uses the garden for drawing, painting, photography and more.

“The applications are endless,” says chef Dana Tuohy, chairwoman of the

At Isidore Newman School, an independent, coed school for pre-kindergarteners through 12th-graders, the school’s food provider, SAGE Dining Services, maintains a hydroponic garden on site and incorporates the produce into its menus.

The 25-year-old SAGE provides fresh, locally sourced and made-from-scratch healthy foods to small colleges and independent schools across the U.S. and Canada. SAGE, which began its gardening program about 15 years ago, now has about 100 gardens ranging from indoor

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > SEPTEMBER 29 > 2015

chool gardens have come a long way since the days of growing bean plants in Mason jars for science class.

Schools across New Orleans are embracing edible gardens ranging from traditional to hydroponic and using the produce in their menus and to teach children experientially about nutrition, how food gets from the garden to the table, sustainability practices and the culinary arts.

St. Paul’s Episcopal School, which has students from 2 years old through eighth grade, started its garden program in 2008 as a way to teach sustainability and “service learning,” an educational approach that balances traditional classroom instruction with real life lessons.

Today the garden is utilized throughout the curriculum, and each grade has its own garden bed with a theme that correlates to its studies. Fourth grade students studying the Middle Ages, for example, planted a medieval garden and eighth-graders learning about the Vietnam War used ingredients from their garden plot to prepare Vietnamese cuisine. Other themes include a space garden, a victory garden, a wetlands garden and a Native American garden.

Director of Admissions Sylvia Parks and Sustainability Education Coordinator Susan Malone, a master gardener, say the students’ enthusiasm is infectious and the ongoing development of the garden is largely student driven. “The ideas just keep building,” Malone says.

Several years ago, the school added an outdoor culinary center with a kit-

Culinary Arts Department. “It’s just a matter of fitting it into an already busy curriculum.”

According to Tuohy, all culinary students at a certain level do a garden internship/entrepreneurship program, which incorporates business skills by selling NOCCA-grown produce and flowers at the local farmer’s market and preparing and selling brunches made from seasonal garden ingredients out of the NOCCA Institute’s Boxcar food truck.

For students in the culinary program, the garden has been a path of discovery for careers that fall under the culinary umbrella, such as dietician, farmer and sustainability advocate.

One of the most important effects of the garden, according to Tuohy, is the connection it fosters between students and nature. “It introduces them to an understanding of where food comes from,” she says. “It doesn’t grow on a Styrofoam plate wrapped in plastic.”

Horticulturist Margee Green, manager of the Press Street Garden, adds that the firsthand experience is an unparalleled way of teaching otherwise ephemeral ideas of how human beings interact with plants. “When students are actually touching and seeing how plants affect their lives, concepts stick in their heads in a way that they don’t when they come from a book, or a movie or a slide,” Green says.

growing centers made from converted salad bars to outdoor in-ground gardens. In 2013, Newman opted for a hydroponic garden due to limited space on its 10-acre campus, and SAGE maintains the garden with the help of VertiFarms, a hydroponic equipment supplier in New Orleans. ”This was a solution accessible to Newman’s landscape,” says Elise Ehrlich, SAGE’s food service director at Newman. “It’s an ideal way to grow a garden in a small space.”

The six-tower garden has spring and fall growing seasons and a diverse array of produce, including edible flowers, tomatoes, peppers, mini cucumbers, eggplant and eight kinds of lettuces and herbs, Ehrlich says. SAGE uses the harvested foods in school meals and catering for events at the school.

While Newman students aren’t responsible for the garden, they do have access to the area and are allowed to observe, inquire, touch and pick the plants. “It’s a great educational experi-

with all-natural ingredients and avoiding processed foods.)

Empowering public charter school students “to build and maintain healthy relationships with food, the natural world, themselves and their community” is the mission of Edible Schoolyard New Orleans (ESYNOLA), now in its ninth year.

Started by FirstLine Schools, a charter management organization that operates five open-admissions public schools, ESYNOLA provides food education for 3,000 students. It encompasses nearly 4,000 garden and culinary classes, 70 food education events for the greater community each year (from meeting farmers and holding festivals to chef competitions and family food nights), organic gardening practices, wellness education and a sense of community through shared meals.

ESYNOLA was modeled after renowned Berkeley chef Alice Waters’ Edible Schoolyard program. While Waters’ original concept was designed for middle

ence for the kids who see it growing,” Ehrlich says.

Though Newman’s garden is not large enough to feed its entire community of faculty and students, what it produces is used in a variety of ways.

For example, basil is used in pesto dishes and lettuces and kale can be used with other locally sourced greens in salads.

“Fresher tastes better,” Ehrlich says.

SAGE believes the effect on students has been positive in other ways. “We have definitely seen a progression over the years of students getting more involved and wanting to be more involved,” says Anne Wozniak-Freedman, communications manager for SAGE. “It’s no longer just a trend, especially with the ‘clean eating’ movement.” (“Clean eating promotes consuming fresh foods

Phillis Wheatley Community School’s garden started last year and the school plans to build a teaching kitchen. Joseph S.

“They learn a language to express what they like and don’t like,” says ESYNOLA Executive Director Claudia Barker. At the same time, because edible education is woven into the curriculums of the schools, it reinforces core concepts in science, math, language arts, and social studies.

The program is in part a response to the local population’s disproportionate rate of diabetes and heart disease, which are directly related to diet, Barker says.

It seems to be having a positive effect. A survey of ESYNOLA students conducted by Tulane’s Prevention Research Center in 2014 reported students were eating more fruits and vegetables and had a better overall knowledge of food. It’s also reconnecting children with nature.

“It’s not just about food access,” Barker says. “It’s about being in the natural world. Our gardens are safe spaces, oases in the middle of an urban landscape.”

ood education programs are blooming in New Orleans schools and sustainable gardens have taken root in higher education. Focused on organic produce and community involvement, these local gardens are sowing seeds of sustainable education.

Tulane University operates a sustainability farm on a 7-acre site in New Orleans City Park at 150 Zachary Taylor Drive. Founded in 2011 by food educator Johanna Gilligan and Tulane University, the 2-acre Grow Dat Youth Farm recruits 50 employees, ages 15 to 21, from nine partner high schools in the New Orleans area. Influenced by existing food education programs in New Orleans elementary and middle schools and The Food Project in eastern Massachusetts, Grow Dat Youth Farm was built as a partnership between the Tulane City Center, the New Orleans Food & Farm Network and New Orleans City Park.

The farm uses chemical-free, sustainable methods to grow 10,000 pounds of produce every year. Its main objective is to nurture leadership qualities in young people. The leadership program teaches participants life skills — including how to grow their own food — provides them with job experience and training in sales and other business skills. About 60 percent of the produce raised at Grow Dat Youth Farm is sold at farmers markets and to grocery stores and restaurants; the rest is donated to people in need through the farm’s Shared Harvest program.

Meanwhile, LSU Health Sciences Center recently transformed a vacant lot on its downtown New Orleans campus into a sustainable, raised-bed vegetable garden. The primary project of the new organization Students for Sustainability, the 18-bed Raised Root Garden was created in conjunction with Parkway Partners, a local nonprofit dedicated to gardens in New Orleans. It was built in August by students from the six schools at LSU Health New Orleans.

Adjacent to the Tiger’s Den Cafe, the garden was designed to introduce more fresh, organic vegetables to campus cafeterias and will offer fresh produce to students in exchange for working in the garden. Liberty’s Kitchen and Second Harvest Food Bank have approached student organizers to plan community outreach programs.

ducators have long touted the benefits of reading aloud to children, and researchers say they’re right. As The New York Times reports, studies have shown that reading teaches children to picture the meaning of words and exposes them to unique word sets. Because of these findings and others, the American Academy of Pediatrics recently began recommending that literacy training begin at birth. Fortunately for parents and caregivers, readings abound in New Orleans, and story times occur every day of the work week and on Saturday along Magazine St., from the CBD to Uptown.

The bar also has an extensive selection of local and imported draft beer.

Baskind, who has run the kitchen for 12 years, offers rotating daily specials, which recently included Vietnamese shrimp and lemon grass soup, a ginger-brined double-cut pork chop loin served with a sweet chili glaze, jasmine rice congee and baby bok choy, and pan seared Cuban-style redfish served with black beans, fried plantains, grilled asparagus and a lime-garlic mojo sauce.

Monday’s special is always red beans and rice.

These weekday lunch specials attract diners from across New Orleans. “You could have everyone from college students to retired insurance people, doctors, nurses, boat workers,” Thomas says. “We draw people from all over the city for lunch, especially in the spring when we do crawfish boils.”

Weekends have a festive vibe. “We have live music three or four nights a week, usually Thursday through Saturday, and charge a small cover on Friday and Saturday nights,” Thomas says. Rivershack Tavern can accommodate groups, including bachelor parties.

“It’s a great hangout for people from all over the country,” Thomas says.

oused in a ramshackle, century-old building, Rivershack Tavern (3449 River Road, Jefferson, 504-8344938; www.therivershacktavern. com) smacks of authentic roadside dive. The bar stools, made in 1992 by former owner Jimmy Collins, add to its offbeat look. Each stool resembles a person from the waist down.

“He did several walks of life, from a shrimper to a scuba diver to the girl with her pants down to her ankles,” owner Donnie Thomas says.

To celebrate its recent 25th anniversary, the restaurant booked live music and invited guest bartenders.

Rivershack Tavern’s website bills it as “home of the tacky ashtray,” but the bar has been smoke-free for three years.

Thanks in part to its 2008 feature on Food Network’s Diners, DriveIns and Dives, Rivershack Tavern has become a dining destination.

Thomas wanted to create an atmosphere where customers could appreciate the scents and flavors of chef Mike Baskind’s menu. “I chose to go non-smoking about three years ago,” Thomas says. “Why take away from the food we’re trying to sell?”

Thomas says that although Rivershack Tavern has evolved into a restaurant, he still considers it primarily a place to drink. “I run it as a bar, but we sell a lot of food,” Thomas says.

The menu offers “Shack-A-Tizers” such as meat pies and alligator sausage as well as typical pub grub like burgers, cheese fries,

Marcello’s to open in Metairie

NEW ORLEANS

Marcello’s Restaurant and Wine bar (715 St. Charles Ave., 504-581-6333; www. marcelloscafe.com), the wine shop and rustic Italian restaurant, will open a third location in Metairie next year in the space currently occupied by Coyote Blues (4860 Veterans Memorial Blvd., Metairie, 504-3013848; www.coyotebluesfreshmex.com), a Louisiana-based Mexican restaurant chain.

Marcello’s owners Gene Todaro Sr. and Gene Todaro Jr. are partnering with Coyote Blues’ parent-company owner, Kevin Moody, to convert the space into an Italian restaurant mirroring their existing bistros (the other Marcello’s is in Lafayette). The owners of Marcello’s have been looking for a new location large enough to incorporate a sizable wine collection.

“Metairie has a big population, and those people frequent our downtown restaurant,” Todaro Jr. said, adding that the new 6,500-square-foot space will have a large, stand-alone bar, a patio, a private banquet space and ample parking.

It was not immediately clear what would happen to Coyote Blues and if the owners plan on opening a new Metairie location. According to a news release, the Coyote Blues chain will be “venturing into a new direction” that requires less space.

Marcello’s new location is expected to open in January 2016. — HELEN FREUND

a casual, family-run restaurant in Lakeview

When Sarah Borealis first ate the traditional stone soup from Oaxaca, Mexico — a fish stew heated with scorching hot rocks — she was reminded of a childhood fable.

“I thought, ‘No way; this is something I’ve only heard about in stories,’” says Borealis, a local visual historian who became fascinated by the ancient tradition while studying in Mexico. Now, Borealis is helping bring the dish to New Orleans diners at a four-day pop-up at Vaughan’s Lounge (4229 Dauphine St., 504-947-5562) Oct. 6,-7 and 9-10.

Usually prepared by men, the soup is meant to honor the elders, women and children of the indigenous Chinantec community.

“The recipe has remained the same, but the method of preparation has really evolved throughout the years,” says Borealis, who researched its ancient and modern preparation methods while making her 24-minute documentary The Path of Stone Soup, which will be screened at the event.

Chef Cesar Gachupin de Dios and his son Victor Gachupin Velasco, who own and run the restaurant Caldo de Piedra in their village, Usila, will demonstrate preparation of the soup using stones Vaughan’s owner Cindy Wood brought back from Mexico last year.

Traditionally served in a hollowed-out gourd, the soup includes red snapper, shrimp, scallops, chilies, cilantro, garlic, PAGE 37

ast June, after decades of working in French Quarter restaurants, chef Joe Faroldi opened Lakeview Burgers and Seafood on a lively stretch of Harrison Avenue.

It was a substantial change of pace from where he last hung his hat (the since-shuttered K-Joe’s on St. Louis Street), and Faroldi’s new home has the neighborly feel of a family-run business in a residential area. Family members often work at the cash register, service is friendly and attentive and there is plenty of banter exchanged while diners wait for their food.

The casual atmosphere extends to the small dining room. There are about five tables, and diners place their orders at the counter and seat themselves. Fried seafood is served in plastic baskets and other dishes appear in plastic vessels. Condiments are available in tiny to-go ramekins. Most sandwiches cost $7 or $8, and fried plates between $13 and $16 easily can be shared.

Casual dining shouldn’t necessarily correlate with a dip in quality, but there are some hits and misses at Lakeview Burgers and Seafood, often with dishes involving the fryer.

On a recent visit, seafood beignets were spongy and carried a burnt caramel tinge suggesting the items were fried too long. Mozzarella sticks are a much better bet. Gigantic strips of fresh mozzarella cheese are given a quick egg wash and lightly dusted with seasoned flour before hitting the fryer — just long enough to achieve a crispy golden exterior that gives way to ribbons of oozing cheese. Accompanying marinara is slightly sweet.

As the restaurant’s name implies, seafood platters feature prominently here. Battered in a thick crust, fried oysters and shrimp are lackluster, but catfish was moist on the inside. The flaky white fillets are available as one of many sandwich options, most of which are served on crusty po-boy rolls or brioche buns.

French fries too, win the battle with the fryer, but could have used more salt. The fries are soft, with a light golden shell that gives way to a creamy interior.

In line with the no-frills atmosphere, the burgers are a testament to simplicity. A mixture of ground chuck and brisket goes into 8-ounce patties that are cooked to a deeply charred well done and dressed to order with lettuce, pickles and condiments. The burgers could use more seasoning, but the chefs don’t skimp on the toppings. On one visit, a request for mushrooms resulted in a burger blanketed

Atchafalaya robbed during dinner service

Diners at the Uptown restaurant Atchafalaya (901 Louisiana Ave., 504-8919626; www.atchafalayarestaurant.com) were robbed at gunpoint on the evening of Sept. 24, New Orleans police said.

According to police, the restaurant manager told authorities that two men wearing Velcro masks and dark hooded sweatshirts approached the restaurant at about 9:45 p.m. Believing they were attempting to rob the restaurant, the manager said he locked the front door, but the two men kicked and shoved the door until they were able to enter.

Police said the duo brandished handguns and stormed the eatery, demanding all the employees and customers hand over their belongings. The suspects grabbed cash out of the register and fled the scene on foot, heading towards Laurel Street. No one was injured during the robbery, police said, adding that surveillance cameras from the area are currently being reviewed by detectives.

The robbery comes almost exactly one month after diners at Patois (6078 Laurel St., 504-895-9441; www.patoisnola.com) were robbed by three men wielding guns during dinner service. No arrests have been made in either case.

Willie Mae Seaton, of the fried chicken institution Willie Mae’s Scotch House (2401 St. Ann St., 504-822-9503; www.facebook.com/williemaesscotchhouse) died Sept. 18. She was 99.

“She was an entrepreneur,” said Seaton’s great-granddaughter Kerry SeatonStewart. “She was extremely driven and hardworking and she did what she had to to keep the place going. ... Everyone loved her — her customers and her family.”

Seaton-Stewart runs the restaurant and its Uptown outpost.

Seaton was born in Crystal Springs, Mississippi, and moved to New Orleans with her husband in during World War II. While he worked at a shipyard, Seaton worked a variety of jobs including a long stint as a taxi driver. Willie Mae’s Scotch House opened as a bar in 1957 and later became a restaurant. Seaton tended bar for 15 years before becoming its chef. “(Bar patrons) would smell her food coming into the bar, and they’d beg and beg and beg her to open a restaurant,” Seaton-Stewart said.

Seaton ran the restaurant with help from various family members, including her daughter, Lillie, who died in 1991. Her cooking attracted a following of locals and tourists who praised the spicy, crunchy fried chicken, creamy white butter beans and the casual and friendly neighborhood atmosphere.

The restaurant won a James Beard Foundation America’s Classic award in 2005. Seaton has been featured on the Travel Channel, National Public Radio and Food Network, among others.

The restaurant also gained notoriety from rebuilding efforts after the building was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina and the federal floods. It was rebuilt with the help of workers from the Southern Foodways Alliance and Mississippi chef John Currence. It reopened in April 2007.

The restaurant garnered international accolades, and President Barack Obama dined at the institution while attending 10th anniversary events for Hurricane Katrina. — HELEN FREUND

3-COURSE interview

Tim Harlan Doctor and gourmet

Chef-turned-doctor Tim Harlan is the assistant dean for clinical services at Tulane University School of Medicine and executive director of the Goldring Center for Culinary Medicine, a culinary teaching facility for medical students and the community, where participants learn to view food “as medicine.”

Harlan speaks at the sixth annual James Beard Foundation Food Conference Oct. 19. He talked with Gambit about what the future of food as medicine looks like.

The topic at this year’s conference is rethinking the future of food. What’s the future of food as medicine?

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > SEPTEMBER 29 > 2015

Harlan: We started out with this idea that we would teach medical students how to cook and we would use that as a metaphor for helping them understand how to work with their patients differently. That’s evolved into … taking that information ... and translating that into the conversation that they will have in the examination room with their patients about food. ... [H]ow do you help [physicians] with substantive messaging for their patients that can have an impact on their health? We can give them the tools to be able to make those changes with their patients — and the dialogue. ... Our data says people have improved their diets. … [T]he challenge now is to see what we’ve learned here in New Orleans and learn how to scale it to other providers.

38

What are the challenges in getting people to eat healthier?

H: I think the challenge for folks across the spectrum — no matter the socioeconomic class, profession, whether they are a truck driver or a secretary or a chef — (is that) most of us unfortunately don’t have those skills to manage our own day-to-day nutrition. There’s a lot of historic reasons for that: There’s no more home economics classes taught in the schools; there’s a shift to the two-parent families who are both working — we’re all busy and there’s easy access to simple, pre-prepared calorie-dense foods that have clearly contributed to the problem of obesity as well as diet-related illness.

In our community programming ... we want you to learn how to read a recipe … build a weekly menu, plan for the week, go to the grocery store, cook, plan for leftovers and then also start working toward thinking differently about all of that. ... We take the best research, which is the Mediterranean diet, and we translate that for the American kitchen. We certainly do not focus on weight loss. We focus on eating great food that just happens to be great for you.

Chefs are a big part of the equation but don’t always welcome change when it comes to their cooking techniques. What does the future of food look like for restaurants?

H: It’s not just chefs; it’s the food industry as a whole. The problem is that there is this perception among chefs that (food) has to be really salty and really fatty and really greasy and really rich. But the foods that are healthy taste better, period. There’s tons of research about this. I can put a beef stroganoff in front of you, and then I can put a reduced-fat or a lower calorie, healthier version in front of you: if you’re blind-folded, you’re going to choose the healthier one about 85 percent of the time. Unless I tell you first, and if I tell you first, those numbers are almost exactly reversed. Part of this lies in our perception of how we think about food. Getting from point A to point B, that’s a huge undertaking. We want to have a role in that and I think that’s the pie in the sky for us at the Goldring Center. We are developing programming for chefs right now … and we absolutely see this as a key. — HELEN FREUND

The shift to the new space should be complete by spring 2016, but the owners hope to open the tap room by the end of 2015. Red River will release a new beer in conjunction with the expansion. Session 18 is a session-style IPA with a low alcohol level. The new facility will feature a bottling line, and Beville says the expansion should broaden the brewery’s distribution in southern Louisiana. “One of my personal milestones is to be able to drink one of our beers at the bar while having a shrimp po-boy at Parkway (Bakery & Tavern),” Beville says.

WINE of the week 2014 Chateau de Thauvenay Sancerre LO IRE VA L L E Y. FR A N CE RETAIL $15

Many believe the best sauvignon blanc comes from the Loire Valley’s Sancerre A.O.P. (Appellation d’Origine Protegee). Chateau de Thauvenay’s 42 acres of vineyards originally were planted in 1819

by Count de Montalivet, who had served as Napoleon’s Minister of the Interior. Today, the sixth generation of the family owns the estate. The vineyards are planted on stony hillside slopes receiving peak exposure to sunlight. The nearby Loire River provides protection from spring frosts and cooling morning fog during summer. Immediately after harvest, the fruit is pressed at low pressure in a cold environment to preserve freshness and natural yeast fermentation preserves its aroma and flavor. In the glass, the wine exhibits subtle aromas of lemon, pear and apple and flinty notes. On the palate, minerality underscores bright citrus and white peach flavors. Drink it with artichokes, asparagus, salads, grilled peppers, sushi, seafood, light meats, chicken, Asian cuisines and soft cheeses such as chevre. Buy it at: Costco.

Ponderosa Stomp

OCT

Ponderosa Stomp Thursday-Saturday Various locations; concerts at Rock ’n’ Bowl, 3016 S. Carrollton Ave. (504) 861-1700 www.rocknbowl.com www.ponderosastomp.org

Over its 13 years THRU — 12 more than founder Ira “Dr. Ike” Padnos might have expected — the Ponderosa Stomp has expanded and contracted, relocated and returned; bade farewell to spring and ushered in fall; made a Circle Bar hop from the Rock ’n’ Bowl to House of Blues, The Howlin’ Wolf and back again. Participants have died and traditions been born. A biennial since 2011, the festival celebrating the unsung heroes of rock, soul, R&B, gospel and swamp pop seems to carry even greater import now, as an every-other-calendar-year occurrence. The setup remains familiar: A Hip Drop 45 rpm DJ marathon kickoff party (9:30 p.m. Thursday at d.b.a.) and three days of a record swap meet and music history seminars at the AC Hotel by Marriott (221 Carondelet St.), followed by two nights of salon-style bookings at Rock ’n’ Bowl — literally all night, as the final scheduled gigs, rockabilly godfathers J.M. Van Eaton, 77, and Roy Head, 74, each start at 2:45 a.m. Debuting this year are Mable John of Motown, Stax and Raelettes fame; Muscle Shoals soul man Willie Hightower; and New Orleans singer/songwriter Jimmy “Pistol” Jules, who composed for Etta James and played with Otis Redding and Marvin Gaye. Regulars returning include southpaw guitar-slinger Barbara Lynn (pictured) and Motown heartbreaker Brenda Holloway. For a full schedule and video previews, visit www.ponderosastomp.com. Single tickets $60; two-day pass $110.

Alex Ross Perry has no tolerance for feel-good movies. Like his fellow New York-based, independent filmmaker Noah Baumbach, Perry is known for creating acerbic and distinctly unlikable characters and putting them at the center of what turn out to be critically acclaimed films.

Baumbach and Perry also share an affinity for well-drawn female characters and an acknowledged debt to Woody Allen. But as Baumbach (Mistress America) increasingly finds inspiration in Allen’s early comedies, Perry has moved closer to dour but insightful Allen dramas like Interiors.

Throw in some Roman Polanski — The Tenant or Rosemary’s Baby — and a bit of Ingmar Bergman’s Persona, and you’ve got Perry’s altogether original Queen of Earth. A character study about a clinically depressed woman and a deteriorating friendship, Queen of Earth provides what may be the most challenging cinematic experience since Perry’s previous film, last year’s Listen Up Philip.

Elisabeth Moss (Peggy on TV’s Mad Men) stars as Catherine, a high-strung woman who has just lost her father, a famous artist to whom she had devoted her life while neglecting her own artistic career. To make matters worse, her longtime boyfriend dumps her (in an opening scene shot in excruciating close-up on Catherine’s face) for another woman. Catherine finds “exile” with her best friend Ginny (Katherine Waterston, Inherent Vice) at the secluded lake house owned by Ginny’s family. But Ginny’s focus drifts away from Catherine toward a casual relationship with boorish, vaguely threatening neighbor Rich (Patrick Fugit, Gone Girl), feeding Catherine’s alienation and despair as she veers toward mental illness.

Shot in two weeks on a miniscule budget and executed in a style that points to the psychological thrillers of the 1960s and ’70s — even the opening titles and end credits refer specifically to that genre and time period — Queen of Earth makes no apologies for a story that’s deeply troubling and often hard to watch. It paints an unflinching portrait of the love-hate dynamic at the center of many close friendships and wears its joylessness like a badge of honor. As tensions build and the psych-horror tropes multiply, Queen of Earth telegraphs a big payoff that never quite comes through. Catharsis is not something Perry seems predisposed to offering his characters — or his audience.

Both Catherine’s and Ginny’s emotional trajectories are communicated through scenes that flash back to the previous summer at the same lake house, with the best friend roles’ largely reversed. (Catherine has the insufferable boyfriend and Ginny is going through an unspecified difficult time.) The artful juxtaposition of scenes from two very different summers — sometimes intercut with brief snippets of dialogue — gives Queen of Earth its distinctive character.

Perry has style to burn but Moss delivers the substance with a searing portrayal of one woman’s descent into madness. In recent interviews, Perry has hinted that his work with Moss over two films (she also played a key role in Listen Up Philip) may be just the beginning of a long creative partnership. Given the range Moss shows in Queen of Earth, that seems like a very good plan. — KEN KORMAN

ART LISTINGS REVIEW

New work at The Front

The great thing about the galleries along St. Claude Avenue is their unpredictability and the way potential genius is free to experiment. The annoying thing about St. Claude galleries is their unpredictability — not knowing if you’ll see something great or half-baked. The Front has four connected spaces where artists can do their thing. This month, all four spaces hold work that is polished, or at least deftly realized, as we see upon entering and confronting India Jacobs’ Future Mythologies series of prints and drawings. The recent Tulane University architecture graduate’s work is based on her view of her native Los Angeles as a pricey, virtual reality rendition of the American Dream which she distills into sci-fi visions like Destination Airship Mechanics (pictured), a geometric rhapsody Future Mythologies: Revisiting THRU of scaffolds, cranes, slinky tubes the American Dream: OCT and striated spheres rendered in New work by India Jacobs Day-Glo colors.

Kyle Bravo’s cartoons of his and his wife’s daily life before and after the birth of their child are touching yet entertaining, a visual diary of the common yet wondrous journey. Kelly A. Mueller’s abstracted views of wild boars and vultures and fishing trawlers at Shell Beach reflect such a knowing, visceral familiarity that it’s hard to believe she’s a Chicago transplant.

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > SEPTEMBER 29 > 2015

In August Wilson’s Fences, Troy Maxson is certain he had the skill to play major league baseball, but was been denied the opportunity because of his skin color.

It’s the late 1950s, a few years after Jackie Robinson broke the race barrier in Major League Baseball, and Troy’s wife Rose says race relations are changing for the better. But Troy, now in his fifties, says he’s been “stuck on first base” for years.

Director Anthony Bean is presenting Fences at Anthony Bean Community Theater for the second time, having completed Wilson’s entire 10-play, decade-by-decade chronicle of African-American life in the 20th century. Fences explores the psyche of a family during the early stages of the civil rights movement in Pittsburgh. Troy (Will Williams) is a sanitation worker fighting for the opportunity to become a driver, a position held only by whites. He’s tired of being treated unfairly and wants to earn more money to support Rose (Gwendolyne Foxworth) and their teenage son Cory (Tony Felix). Williams delivers a passionate, larger-than-life performance as a commanding, fast-talking guy who also likes to crack jokes with his best friend Jim Bono (Harold X. Evans). The two men have a deep bond, and Evans’ performance is full of warmth.

Troy is restless. He’s been married to Rose for 18 years, but is involved with another woman. Foxworth gives a poignant performance as a woman scorned who is endlessly nurturing to Troy’s out-of-wedlock daughter Raynell (Emani Johnson).

Johnson is charming in the role of the fourth-grader.

Troy also feels responsible for his younger brother Gabriel (Alfred Aubry), who was brain-injured in World War II and has a metal plate in his head. Gabriel believes he’s a heavenly messenger for St. Peter and carries a trumpet. Aubry brings the right level of emotion and nuance to the complicated character.

The show takes place in front of Troy’s house and in the surrounding yard.

John Grimsley’s set is realistic, and construction of a fence onstage becomes an important part of the narrative as Troy and Cory work together. Their relationship is central to the show’s tension. When it comes to sports, Troy has been denied opportunities, and he refuses to allow Cory to pursue football. The scenes between Williams and Felix are dynamic as Cory fights to become his own person. Felix transforms from a quiet boy into a confident man.

The strong production is full of impressive performances and builds on the theater’s commitment to Wilson’s legacy. — TYLER GILLESPIE
