“pilot program” with a dedicated bike lane on Baronne.

“We will monitor the impact of this pilot project as the City continues to expand bicycle facilities citywide,” Landrieu said in a statement.

A “ghost bike” stands in the neutral ground at St. Claude and Elysian Fields avenues, where cyclist Philip Wayne Geeck died in July after being hit by an 18-wheel truck. Four cyclists have been killed by vehicles this year in New Orleans.

P H OTO BY J E A N I E R I ES S

Larry Huck is president of the Good Shepherd School, a scholarship-based elementary and middle school at the intersection of Baronne and Perdido streets. He’s worried that the inconvenience caused by an increase in traffic would put a dent in the school’s enrollment.

“Our parents and the guardians and grandparents of our students have to make sure that their child gets here in the morning and picks them up in the afternoon,” Huck says. “The more cumbersome it is to get here, to pick up their child, the more that they’ll probably consider, ‘Well, I’m not going to send my child to this school.’ I have to protect the school.”

Most of the students at Good Shepherd are dropped off and picked up by motor vehicles. Huck says none of his students would use the bike lane, and their parents and guardians would most likely end up parking in it if it does come to fruition.

Meanwhile, other schools across the city are installing bike racks courtesy of the Young Leadership Council’s Where Y’Rack? campaign with the express purpose of encouraging students to take advantage of the city’s burgeoning cycling PAGE 8

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

If we want to reduce traffic congestion in an area of the city that has a growing residential population, encouraging bike transit and other forms of high-density transportation is the only answer. Sharrows do not work, and are completely redundant as it is legal to ride a bike in the right lane of any roadway except the interstates. Dedicated, buffered lanes are an excellent solution to encourage bike transit by people who would otherwise be too timid to fight for space with speeding cars. New Orleans is already #5 in the nation in bike commuting, so the demand is there and people are looking to the city to provide safe facilities to allow them to commute safely.

— Fleur DeLis,

on the poll “Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s administration wants to reduce Baronne Street from Canal to Calliope streets into one lane of vehicular traffic and add one lane dedicated to bikes instead. What do you think?”

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > OCTOBER 21 > 2014

n 2008, New Orleans built its very first bike lane — a stripe along St. Claude Avenue. Today, the city boasts 87 miles of bikeways with a goal to bring that number past 100 by the end of the year, according to the New Orleans Department of Public Works.

But more bike lanes mean more bikers, and even the greatest infrastructure in the world won’t keep cyclists and pedestrians out of harm’s way. This year, four cyclists have been killed by motor vehicles in New Orleans, and in February, a 6-year-old was killed in a hit-andrun accident while attempting to cross the street to get to his school bus.

“The Louisiana Public Health Institute released a report that said that Louisiana has basically one of the worst accident death rates in the country,” says Rachel Heiligman, executive director of the public transit advocacy group Ride New Orleans. “They went through parish by parish, and you could see that Orleans Parish has a really major problem in creating safe environments.”

Fewer than 4 percent of New Orleanians ride bikes to work.

That number, from the U.S. Census Bureau’s most recent survey, might not seem high. But even a city like Portland, Oregon — where bike infrastructure is prioritized — only has 6 percent of its commuters biking to work, so New Orleans isn’t lagging far behind some of the most bike-friendly cities in the country. And the number of bikers in New Orleans is growing fast; between 2000 and 2013, New Orleans saw a 208.7 percent increase in people biking to work, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Earlier this year, Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s administration unveiled designs for a buffered bike lane — a more protected bike lane than the ones currently implemented in the city — on Baronne Street in the Central Business District, which would stretch from Canal to Calliope streets. The bike advocacy group Bike Easy cheered the initiative, while some businesses on Baronne Street, including the downtown Rouses Market, howled at the prospect of cutting two lanes of auto traffic down to one. A group called Business on Baronne sprang up to fight the initiative, holding a community meeting last month at the Contemporary Arts Center.

Last week, the city announced it would begin a six-month

culture. Last week, four new racks were christened at Success Preparatory Academy on Bienville Street, with New Orleans Deputy Mayor Andy Kopplin assisting in the ribbon-cutting.

Also last week, The New Orleans Advocate reported Allen Yrle, the city’s chief traffic engineer, disagreed with the city-commissioned analysis conducted

by GCR Inc., a consulting firm that deals with alternative transportation, suggesting the proposed Baronne Street bike lane would have little effect on traffic, particularly during peak hours, when Baronne serves as an arterial feed through the CBD for cars trying to get on the Pontchartrain Expressway.

Yrle made his comments in private emails to Mark Jernigan, the director of the city’s Department of Public Works. Those emails were obtained via a public records request; at meetings to discuss the plan, Jernigan never aired Yrle’s grievances, though it was made clear that a delay in traffic would be an issue.

The city did not respond to multiple requests for comment about the project from Gambit, and at the Where Y’Rack? bike rack unveiling (two days before the pilot proposal was announced), Kopplin declined to answer questions about the Baronne Street proposal.

8

Bike Easy officials are candid when it comes to the prospect of creating delays on Baronne. Naomi Doerner, the group’s executive director, says there’s already a bad delay at the intersection and that the continuation of the project will depend on the city’s prioritizing safe commuting for all roadway users, especially in accordance with the Complete Streets Ordinance passed by the New Orleans City Council in 2011. That ordinance says that any resurfacing of a road must include considerations about how it can be made accessible for all users.

Huck has joined a chorus of Baronne Street businesses questioning why a bike lane can’t go on another CBD thoroughfare, but Doerner says the city already had other potential streets analyzed before determining Baronne Street was the best place to put it. “Some streets have streetcar tracks on them, so that’s kind of an issue for bicyclists,” she says. “You don’t want to put them on those. You’ve got some that are on the outskirts, but if the point is to make downtown walkable and bikeable, you’re only talking about a few possible streets.”

Though Huck says he’s sympathetic to the idea that all roadway users should feel safe in the city, he says he sometimes feels bicyclists are more dangerous than cars. When it comes to projected growth in the number of residents downtown, he says he anticipates more cars on the road, not bikes.

“I live right down the street and I walk downtown all the time, and as a pedestrian, I feel safe,” he says. “Especially when it comes to automobiles, I feel safe.

However, when I’m trying to cross the street, some of the bicyclists follow the

rules of the road and some don’t. They’ll be going the wrong way down a one-way street; they’ll be riding on the sidewalk.

I’ve had more close calls with bicyclists than I have with automobiles.

“Their argument is, ‘You can’t get killed by a bicyclist,’” he adds. “Well, no, I’m not going to get killed by a bicyclist — but should I be in danger of being hit?”

With the promise of even more bikeways, especially a buffered lane like the one proposed for Baronne, Bike Easy and Ride New Orleans are aware of the safety issues that need to be addressed, especially as more and more people choose modes of transportation other than cars.

So is District C City Councilwoman LaToya Cantrell, who said in a statement to Gambit that the bottom line for her is the safety of cyclists coming in and going out of the CBD. That’s one reason she supports a bike lane in that area.

“Right now it is very dangerous,” she says. “I am in favor of a designated lane in the CBD and strongly support all the efforts that have gone into creating a safe bike network throughout the City, … I believe the (Landrieu) administration, working with the Department of Public Works, has the expertise to do the proper ‘due diligence’ on this decision.”

Cantrell also acknowledged the growth of downtown as a residential neighborhood, and stressed the need for a “comprehensive traffic assessment of the CBD and Warehouse District to meet the needs of the growth and development of this area vital to the health of our city.”

Earlier this month, Doerner and Heiligman proposed a plan called Vision Zero to the City Council’s Transportation and Airport Committee. Vision Zero is an initiative that began in Sweden in 1997 in an attempt to curb traffic deaths. Similar policies have since been enacted in the U.S. Vision Zero covers three areas of roadway safety: engineering and planning, enforcement and education. As for the latter, Doerner says other cities have taken measures to make sure residents know

how to use the roads. In Chattanooga, Tennessee, teenagers in driver’s education classes are required not only to drive, but also walk and take transit in order to get a driver’s license — all in an effort to better acquaint young people with the perspectives of various roadway users. Education also means working within the public school system to make sure students and their parents learn about street safety, whether walking to the bus or taking a bike to school. Heiligman says education can go in other directions as well, from educating law enforcement on bicyclists’ rights to making sure bus drivers are aware of how many feet to allow when passing cyclists.

Both Heiligman and Doerner point out, though, that Vision Zero is a comprehensive plan that doesn’t target cyclists, drivers, transit users or pedestrians individually. The plan seeks to get all roadway users on the same page.

“It’s incumbent upon all of us to operate more safely,” Heiligman says. “And I think that’s what’s so great about the Vision Zero approach. It really is multifaceted and brings in everyone on the road. It doesn’t prioritize the person traveling by bicycle.

The goal is also zero passenger deaths in motorists’ vehicles. We have a lot of work to do, and there’s no reason we should be pitting a person on a bike against a person in a car. What we need to do is talk to one another and collectively find ways to make our roadways safer.”

“Our roads are changing,” Doerner says. “They’re not what they were. We need to be able to spread that message as we change our streets. We need more outreach about what it means to have safe streets.”

“We heard you loud and clear,” said Mayor Mitch Landrieu, addressing the New Orleans City Council Oct. 15 — referring to New Orleans residents who attended the citywide budget hearings to give input on the city’s 2015 budget. According to Landrieu, people want more funding for public safety, jobs, recreation and blight reduction.

Public safety budget increases dominate the proposed $537 million budget, with calls for raises (the first in eight years), more recruits and new vehicles for the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD), while 6 percent of the total budget is dedicated to the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office.

More than $7 million from the city’s general fund is dedicated to NOPD consent decree implementation, while the 5 percent pay raise for NOPD adds $4.2 million to the budget. Additional funding will help pay for 150 new recruits, and Civil Service is slated to receive a $312,000 boost to pay for recruiting support.

The Fraternal Order of Police

wasted no time calling the proposed 5 percent pay hike for cops “a slap in the face” and inadequate. Jim Gallagher, an FOP spokesman, said in a statement, “Fortunately, the Civil Service Commission will review this budget and the City Council will have the final word, and we will make our voices heard.”

In compliance with court orders to fully fund New Orleans firefighters’ pension fund, the budget includes a 37 percent increase to that fund, totaling $43.4 million. (Deputy Mayor Andy Kopplin noted that the city will pay more in pension costs in 2015 than in firefighter salaries.) In Landrieu’s overall budget, many departments’ funding remains static from 2014 to 2015, but most will see an increase, with an overall 6 percent jump from 2014’s $505 million budget to 2015’s proposed $537 million budget.

The Department of Public Works (DPW) will see a 48 percent budget increase from $15 million in 2014 to $23 million in 2015. Landrieu noted that in 2015, the city will start or complete $340 million

Patrolling the Quarter

Council delays vote to implement NOLA Patrol The New Orleans City Council last week deferred action on the proposed NOLA Patrol quality of life and traffic officers that Mayor Mitch Landrieu wants to assign to the French Quarter. Landrieu and city officials announced plans for the Quarter-focused, non-emergency police force in August.

If approved by the council, the fleet of 50 uniformed, unarmed officers would respond to traffic, sanitation and quality of life issues in the Vieux Carre, theoretically freeing up existing New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) officers to handle more serious offenses.

NOLA Patrol will serve as a “recruitment pipeline” for NOPD by allowing recent high school graduates to work full or part time while earning a college degree and learning “police culture and practice and procedures,” said Deputy Mayor and Chief Administrative Officer Andy Kopplin. Starting annual salaries for NOLA Patrol officers begin at $25,000.

Last month, French Quarter groups began hiring paid NOPD details and other security officers. NOLA Patrol would supplement those details. However, Chris Young of the French Quarter Business League (FQBL) said money deferred to a patrol program could be better spent on actual NOPD officers, which now have been paid for by businesses and residents. “There is a crisis in the French Quarter. People are being attacked, robbed, every night,” Young said. “It’s hard for (the FQBL) to recwoncile hiring these patrol officers to direct traffic. Why isn’t this money being used to hire more officers?”

Meg Lousteau, director of Vieux Carre Property Owners, Residents and Associates (VCPORA), said while she certainly “understands concerns about police,” the French Quarter suffers from a lack of enforcement on quality of life, sanitation and zoning issues,

from “mule droppings” and T-shirt shops to “restaurants functioning as bars.”

Lousteau also said the presence of additional uniformed officers will have a deterrent effect, “much like a scarecrow does in a field.”

Newly named NOPD Chief Michael Harrison agreed that the patrol will create a “visibility effect,” but “we still want to hire police officers,” he said.

“This frees us up to do that.”

Councilman At-Large Jason Williams asked whether NOLA Patrol funding could potentially be used instead to fund a new recruit class. Harrison said the fund is “designed for what we laid out for NOLA Patrol and those duties.”

The council’s move to delay a vote will push back the city’s timeline for NOLA Patrol’s implementation (from recruiting and hiring to training) by two weeks, Kopplin said. The administration had hoped to have officers on the ground by Mardi Gras 2015.

Hitting the fan

Former Jindal spox in Fla. furor

The embarrassing moment at last week’s Florida gubernatorial event — when Florida Gov. Rick Scott refused to take the stage because opponent and former Gov. Charlie Crist had installed a small electric fan under his podium — got even more embarrassing when the Scott campaign tried to bluster its way out of the nationally televised gaffe. In a bizarre email to press and supporters, Scott’s campaign manager Melissa Sellers insisted Scott “never refused to take the stage. … In fact, our campaign was not notified Charlie had even taken the stage.” Quite a claim, since the event was being televised live and Crist spent seven minutes standing alone next to Scott’s empty podium.

If Sellers’ name sounds familiar, it’s because she served as press secretary and later communications director for Gov. Bobby Jindal in his first term, and earned a reputation for being hardnosed with reporters. It was Sellers who defended Jindal after his much-maligned 2009 Republican response to President Barack Obama’s address to Congress, when Jindal was compared to “Kenneth the page,” the character played by Jack McBrayer on the sitcom 30 Rock. “Being compared to Kenneth the Page is a whole lot better than what past Louisiana governors have been compared to,” Sellers said, managing to reinforce the comparison.

Sellers left Jindal’s employ in 2011 and began working for Scott in 2012. — KEVIN ALLMAN

Center of controversy Carrollton neighbors are asking why plans for a new state-funded $1.7 million community center are being operated by a private Christian church.

By Robert Morris | Uptown Messenger

A

community centers are going to come into existence in the foreseeable future.

“The City of New Orleans is not in a financial position to build and run new community centers on their own,” Leger said. “The way to achieve that is through partnering with other entities.”

The legislation that creates the funding for the community center requires it to offer five kinds of services to the community, according to documents obtained by Barry Brantley, president of the Carrollton-Riverbend Neighborhood Association. It must have adult literacy classes, after-school tutorial and computer programs, job training and placement services, a senior center and nutrition site and a community meeting area.

Association member Betty DiMarco said the history of the project leaves the Carrollton community skeptical that the center will meet the neighborhood’s needs. A City Council meeting extending the zoning for the project in March, for example, led to a sharp exchange between District A Councilwoman Susan Guidry and some opponents of the project.

“There is a tremendous amount of distrust,” DiMarco said. “It is going to be a ... challenge for the community to come together and make anything work, because we’ve got some tremendous divisions.”

Leger helped create an advisory board for the community center, including five people: David Alvarez, Nicole Bouie, the Rev. Calvin Franklin of Rising Star Missionary Baptist Church, Dr. Mary Green of Dillard University and Andreas Hoffman of Green Light New Orleans.

Trinity Christian Community Director Kevin Brown promised to take the board’s

opinions to heart. The organization drew accolades from several City Council members at the council’s March meeting and has been lauded for contributing to a reduction in crime in Hollygrove.

“I’m a product of this very community, and my heart is for this community. ... I want to see this project work,” Brown told neighbors at the September meeting. “We want input from the community.”

Association member Jason Coleman, a vocal opponent of Trinity’s control of the project, said he questions why an advisory board is needed. Why not add members of the community to the nonprofit’s governing board? he asked.

“I think the [Trinity] board is big enough to have representation from the community, if it’s for the community,” Coleman said.

Former association President Jerry Speir said the people on the board are all known for being outspoken and will provide a measure of oversight.

Members of the Carrollton Riverbend Neighborhood Association learned last week that one of the proposed members

s the start of construction nears on a new community center funded by a state investment of more than $1 million, members of the Carrollton neighborhood remain apprehensive about the organization chosen to operate it — despite repeated assurances from officials that this is the most effective use of the land and the money.

Trinity Christian Community, a Hollygrove-based social-services ministry founded in 1967, is seeking bids this fall for construction of the building in the 1700 block of Monroe Street that will serve as its new headquarters, and hopes to begin construction in January, officials have told neighbors in a series of recent meetings.

The $1.7 million project is based primarily on state funding for a community center planned for the property starting with the late state Rep. Alex Heaton and dating back years before Hurricane Katrina, officials have explained.

The history of the funding for the project, how it ended up in the hands of a private, church-based organization, and what accountability Trinity Christian Community will have is a concern for neighbors and members of the Carrollton Riverbend Neighborhood Association.

State Rep. Walt Leger told members of the association at a special meeting about the issue in September that he is unsure how Trinity Christian Community was chosen five years ago to take over the project after the original concept was derailed by Hurricane Katrina. When pressed by neighbors on the history of the original money trail, he called it “disappointing.” But what is clear now, Leger said, is that partnering with nonprofits is the only way new

of the advisory board, Nicole Bouie, has decided not to serve. Bouie operates a program called Community Commitment that recently moved to 8540 Spruce St., and she opened the coffee shop Stella’s in the adjoining space to help defray the center’s $4,000 in monthly expenses.

Bouie said she opted not to serve on the board because she wanted to focus on Community Commitment.

“I simply wanted to be a part of a governing board, not an advisory board,” Bouie said. “We already have a community center operating. My goal is to make sure this center thrives.”

Even after the meetings with officials, some neighbors still hope the Carrollton-Riverbend Neighborhood Association will announce its opposition to the project, said member Drew Ward. Any action like that, however, seems moot with construction so close to starting, he added.

“I really don’t think there’s anything to formally oppose,” Ward said.

A better course, DiMarco agreed, is to maintain vigilance that Trinity Christian Community is actually fulfilling the five requirements for the center laid out in the state legislation.

“I don’t think we would have gotten as far as we have if Walt Leger had not stepped in,” DiMarco said. “These are the things, under the legislation, that are supposed to be there.”

Brantley, the association’s current president, said the key for moving Carrollton forward is to be clear about what the neighborhood needs, which of those needs Trinity fills by its projected opening of December 2015, and to seek solutions to whatever needs still remain outstanding.

“If this is not serving our community, it’s not serving its purpose,” Brantley said at the September meeting. “If it fits in this package, let’s do that. If not, let’s find the next partners for it.”

COMMENTARY

Landrieu for U.S. Senate

Other Endorsements n addition to the U.S. Senate race, there are many other important races on the Nov. 4 ballot.

Gambit does not endorse in judicial races, but in other area elections we make the following recommendations:

FOR CONGRESS:

>> STEVE SCALISE AND CEDRIC RICHMOND

Two years ago we noted that Scalise, a conservative Republican, and Richmond, a liberal Democrat, could teach their colleagues an important lesson in bipartisanship. Their political philosophies differ sharply, but their personal friendship dates back a decade to their days as state lawmakers. Both men represent their respective and very different districts well — Scalise in District 1 and Richmond in District 2 — yet they work together exceedingly well when Louisiana’s interests are at stake. One important example was their effort to gain House approval of a bill to forestall horrific flood insurance rate hikes.

Scalise had to buck the tide among his GOP colleagues, but he secured enough votes among them to help pass a rate relief bill.

Since their last elections, both men have gained valuable clout in Congress. Scalise has become a national figure following his election last summer as House Majority Whip, a post that puts him two steps from the House Speaker’s chair. Richmond is now a key member of the Congressional Black Caucus and is aiming for a spot on the House Ways and Means Committee. Their continued service in Congress will inure to the benefit of south Louisiana, and we recommend both men be re-elected.

PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION, DISTRICT 1:

>> FOREST BRADLEY WRIGHT

The Louisiana Public Service Commission (PSC) regulates utilities in most parishes outside Orleans, but its decisions significantly affect utility prices and policies across the state. This is a very important but little-noticed regulatory body, and some of its members have a shameful history of cozying up to the utilities they regulate. The incumbent, Eric Skrmetta, is a classic example of that.

Skrmetta, a wealthy attorney, has accepted more than $300,000 in campaign contributions from utilities and their affiliated interests, according to The Times-Picayune. We suggest voters replace Skrmetta with Forest Bradley Wright, a former director of the Alliance for Affordable Energy who has taken no money from monopoly utilities. That’s the kind of political and financial independence all PSC members should show.

HARAHAN MAYOR:

>> ERIC CHATELAIN

A native of Harahan, Eric Chatelain has served on the City Council since 2012. In his campaign for mayor, Chatelain has focused on city finances and improvements to city sewerage and drainage services. He proposes to save taxpayers money by pumping Harahan’s sewage into the parish system and use the savings to improve infrastructure — particularly sewerage and drainage lines. He is endorsed by the Alliance for Good Government.

NEW ORLEANS CITY CHARTER AMENDMENT, CONTRACTING:

>> YES

This proposition puts into the charter a set of reforms that Mayor Mitch Landrieu instituted by executive order in 2010. It would require a competitive selection process for professional services and establish a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program. We recommend saying YES to this proposition.

ORLEANS PARISH LAW ENFORCEMENT DISTRICT MILLAGE:

>> YES

The Orleans Parish Law Enforcement District levies a 2.9-mill property tax to pay for new jail construction. This proposition rededicates a portion of the existing millage no longer needed for debt service to jail operations and maintenance, which are vital for compliance with the federal consent decree designed to make the jail meet constitutional standards. We recommend voters say YES to this proposition.

NEW ORLEANS CITY CHARTER AMENDMENT, INAUGURATION DATE:

>> YES

This proposition would advance the inauguration date of the mayor and City Council from the first Monday in May to the second Monday in January, starting in 2018. This gives new mayors and council members greater control over city budgets during a change in administrations. We support this proposition.

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > OCTOBER 21 > 2014

his week marks the beginning of early voting across Louisiana (starting Tuesday, Oct. 21), and for many Louisianans the election cannot come soon enough. The hotly contested U.S. Senate race has tested voters’ tolerance for shrill rhetoric and hyperbole more than any other election in memory. At the end of the day, we hope voters will remember they are choosing someone to represent — and protect — Louisiana’s interests in Washington. This is not a referendum on President Barack Obama. In two years and three months, America will have a new president. The question Louisiana voters should ask themselves between now and Nov. 4 is, “Who can best protect Louisiana’s interests in Washington?” We think the answer is obvious: Mary Landrieu.

As a three-term incumbent and committee chair, Landrieu has incalculable cachet in the Senate. She chairs the powerful Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources — a post that is vital to Louisiana’s economic future and America’s energy independence. From that spot, Landrieu literally oversees all legislation that affects the energy industry, which, for all its faults, continues to employ hundreds of thousands of people across our state. As three well-known Republican business leaders recently noted, Louisiana cannot afford to lose Mary Landrieu in the Senate. Replacing her in the Senate with a rookie at this crucial time will cost our state billions in federal aid — and many thousands of good jobs.

Landrieu’s Republican opposition has mounted a campaign based on fear, exaggeration (if not outright falsehoods) and anger — most of it funded by out-of-state special interests that don’t have Louisiana’s interests at heart. There’s no denying that Obama is unpopular in Louisiana, but it should be equally obvious that replacing Landrieu with a rookie senator will not “send a message” to the White House or diminish the president’s power. Instead, it would take away immeasurable clout from Louisiana’s delegation — clout that Landrieu has used to make life better for all of the state.

Time and again, Landrieu has stepped up to help Louisianans recover from tragedy — after Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Isaac, and after the BP Oil disaster — and she steadfastly has helped local governments (particularly law enforcement) get needed federal funds to better serve their constituents. She led the fight to keep military bases open in Louisiana, to roll back draconian flood insurance rate increases and to secure billions for coastal restoration and flood protection projects. While her main opponent, Congressman Bill Cassidy, sings a one-note chorus of “Obama, Obama, Obama,” Landrieu reminded voters in last week’s debate (the only debate Cassidy has attended thus far), that Obama is not on the ballot on Nov. 4 — but Louisiana’s future is. Voters should remember that a vote against Landrieu is a vote against Louisiana’s future. We strongly urge our readers to vote FOR Louisiana’s future by re-electing Sen. Mary Landrieu.

BLAKE PONTCHARTRAIN™ Questions for Blake: askblake@gambitweekly.com

Hey Blake,

What is the history of The Beverly casino/country club/dinner theater?

Andrew Hodges Shreveport

Dear Andrew,

The phrasing of your question, referring to the Beverly in so many incarnations, references the colorful history of this lost landmark. The last chapter ended when the building, then a dinner theater, burned to the ground in July 1983.

The story begins a century earlier, in the 1850s, with the stately Whitehall Plantation, a River Road mansion built for Francois Pascalis de LaBarre IV. The name gives a hint as to where the Beverly was located — near Labarre Road and Jefferson Highway. According to Nancy Gould Gex in her book The Beverly, the property changed hands several times until a later owner built a larger version of the plantation house nearby and opened it as a 1920s roadhouse called Suburban Gardens.

The property’s most notable owners took over in 1945 and included organized crime figures “Dandy Phil” Kastel, Frank Costello, Meyer Lansky and Carlos Marcello. Though gambling was not officially sanctioned in Louisiana, it was definitely rampant in parts of Jefferson Parish.

The new place, called The Beverly Country Club, was billed as “America’s Smartest Dinner and Supper Club.” Since these were the pre-Las Vegas days, the club welcomed big-name entertainers like Sophie Tucker, Carmen Miranda, Rudy Vallee and Joe E. Lewis.

In 1951, following U.S. Senate hearings into illegal gambling led by Sen. Estes Kefauver, D-Tenn., the club was forced to shut its doors. It reopened in 1959, but closed again in 1962, after Kastel took his own life.

This old advertisement shows the Beverly Dinner Playhouse offering On Golden Pond, starring Pat O’Brien.

In 1972, the club raised the curtain on its history as a dinner theater. A group, led by director Storer Boone and including architect August Perez III and former state Senate President Michael O’Keefe, bought the property and christened it the Beverly Dinner Playhouse. Stage productions featured local and national stars, including Lana Turner, Van Johnson, Bob Crane and New Orleans native Dorothy Lamour. After a fire in 1983, there were plans to rebuild or perhaps relocate under the same name, but the fire turned out to be the Beverly’s final act.

The spot where the theater stood is now a parking lot for Ochsner Hospital.

his column would be nothing without your questions, and for more than three decades, Gambit readers have been the driving force behind my weekly Crescent City Q&A. Now, Ol’ Blake will take it a step further by waxing nostalgic on a topic of my choosing. This week, I’m missing my old New Orleans Jazz.

For my money, they had one of the best names in all of basketball, though now it seems really out of place. Forty years ago this week, it was all that jazz — the New Orleans Jazz. On Oct. 24, 1974, the city’s new NBA team played its first home game at the Municipal

Auditorium. With early star “Pistol” Pete Maravich, the Jazz had played four games on the road before its home opener, which drew about 7,000 fans. The team lived up to its name by featuring jazz music from trumpeter Al Hirt and the Olympia Brass Band during halftime. Unfortunately, the Jazz lost to the 76ers that night. You also may remember some early games played in the Loyola Field House before the team moved to the Superdome in 1975.

In 1979, the Jazz trumpeted a move to Utah, where team owners bizarrely kept the name and even the team colors of purple, green and gold.

Bringing HOPE to kids

18

arijke Crawford was worried that her son, a third-grader at St. Stephen Catholic School in New Orleans, might have a hearing problem because, as she put it, “his teacher told me that sometimes she has to call on him more than once.” So when she received a letter from St. Stephen notifying her that her son had been selected to get an audio screening at school last week, the news “was a blessing.”

Crawford’s son was among 100 students from four area elementary schools who received hearing tests at St. Stephen on Oct. 14 as part of Project HOPE, a pilot program designed to provide to critical screening and other professional services for students at four urban Catholic elementary schools.

The kids come from communities that once were served by a variety of state and federal programs, but many of those programs have been cut dramatically in recent years. Project HOPE aims to fill that void for up to 800 students and their families.

Project HOPE was announced last month by the Archdiocese of New Orleans in conjunction with the Bishop Perry Center and a coalition of area professional service providers. The Bishop Perry Center is a Catholic outreach mission anchored in Faubourg Marigny. The services being provided via Project HOPE include an array of medical screenings — eye, ear, dental and primary medical care — as well as behavioral assessments and legal assistance with issues affecting families and children.

The services also include follow-up care.

A child who needs eyeglasses, for example, will be provided glasses free of charge. The first round of screenings began with the hearing exams last week at St. Stephen.

In the quiet hallways of St. Stephen last Tuesday, 100 children from the four participating schools lined up outside two classrooms to get middle ear exams and hearing acuity tests. The kids were selected by their teachers at St. Stephen, St. Alphonsus and Holy Ghost Catholic schools in New Orleans, as well as St. Anthony School in Gretna. Each school sent 25 students to St. Stephen for the exams.

Graduate students from the LSU Health Sciences Center School of Allied Health administered the tests.

“When they sent that letter home, I was so grateful,” Crawford said of the notice she received about the hearing tests. “It was so convenient because everything was done right at school — and right on time.”

Other parents whose children were selected for the hearing exams expressed similar sentiments.

“For the school to do it, and to tie it into how it affects their learning, is so important,” said James Wright, whose daughter Jasmine is a fifth-grader at St. Stephen.

“A lot of parents don’t have the resources or time to get that taken care of at this

stage of their lives. Those screenings will definitely help me as a parent to stay on top of how my daughter is doing.”

Other screenings will continue this week, beginning with dental exams at all four schools.

“These screenings and follow-up care can have a great impact on the ability of students to have successful learning experiences,” said Cynthia Valadez, volunteer coordinator of Project HOPE. “We know that students cannot succeed unless stumbling blocks to learning are discovered and removed early.”

In announcing Project HOPE, New Orleans Archbishop Gregory Aymond noted that cuts in public funding, along with the economic downturn, “have put quality elementary education at risk.” Project HOPE is in its infancy, but its supporters hope it will lead to significantly improved outcomes for students who receive the program’s services.

“The resources available to the brave, dedicated men and women who daily fight to educate their students have been stripped to the bone and nowhere is this more evident than in the elementary schools of our city,” Aymond said. “Among the most basic, indeed critical services lacking in elementary schools today are professional screening services to early on discover problems, such as health issues, which may prevent a student from learning, which may cause, in turn, serious behavioral problems.”

The Rev. William F. Maestri, director of the Bishop Perry Center and former superintendent of archdiocesan schools, said the pilot program could not have gotten off the ground without a coalition of service providers who have a long track record of serving the needy in New Orleans. Coalition members include:

Even before the New Orleans Pelicans hit the hardwood, we’re making a few calls.

BY

JA SON S AUL

PH OTOS BY

DERICK HINGLE

The Pelicans have built a team to win now — to the point some have said the organization has sacrificed its ability to make moves in the future, trading away draft picks and locking in players — some aging — to big contracts. However, the pressure to win, win big and do it soon, is overwhelming. Davis’ rookie contract runs out soon, and other players are aging or are on short-term deals.

The Pelicans organization is now overseen by New Orleans Saints executives who have been conditioned over much of the past decade to expect and demand immediate results and top-tier performance. Owner Tom Benson leveraged the purchase of the team into a $54 million renovation of the SKC, brought the players from the Alario Center into a stunning new practice facility in Metairie, sank an enormous amount of capital into a rebranding campaign (and an unfortunate, widely derided mascot, who got a reboot) and spent freely to bring in high-caliber talent. Even if the moves may have not made much sense in years past, this is now a very talented squad, many of whom have had a couple of years to learn to play together.

PERSON FOUL

That was the day Anthony Davis, roaring through his sophomore season, stepped onto the newly renamed Smoothie King Center (SKC) court for his first NBA All-Star Game appearance.

No matter that the season was still at its midpoint, or that Davis was a last-minute addition to the All-Star lineup — a nod to New Orleans as host city and a replacement for an injured Kobe Bryant. The Pelicans’ season was essentially finished, derailed by a cascade of injuries and frustrations, but Davis’ appearance was a nod to the obvious.

Just 21 years old, and surrounded by a still-rough amalgamation of journeymen for hire, young strivers and oft-injured veterans, Davis is the real deal, a scoring powerhouse who moves effortlessly across the hardwood and through the air, and whose career trajectory, like Chris Paul before him, may only be hindered by being in New Orleans instead of Miami or San Antonio or Los Angeles.

The Pelicans are obviously much more than just Anthony Davis, but have moved to build a team to stand around him, to feed him the ball and ease the strain on his 6-foot-10-inch frame. If they make AD’s life easier, the reasoning goes, by feeding him and supplying him and supporting him at both ends of the court, something amazing might occur.

Refereeing THE SEASON

L GOA TEN

PERSONAL FOUL Injuries plagued the Pelicans last year — some right at the start, and others when they were just starting to gel as a team and run hot. Davis, Ryan Anderson, Jrue Holiday and the ever-fragile Eric Gordon all missed some, most or nearly all of last year. But that was last season. With the exception of Tyreke Evans, who is nursing an injured hamstring but is expected to be ready for the season opener, the Pelicans are looking healthy, seasoned and strong. Many players, including hot-handed Anderson, came into camp early this offseason to hit the weight room.

Monty Williams’ coaching style promotes internal competition and earning a spot on the roster, no matter a player’s history or raw talent, which will promote a deeper bench and, fans can hope, ease the strain on the starters over the long 82game season.

OUT The look and feel of an NBA game is much different than a football game. Basketball rewards rapid play and frequent scoring, so game breaks are fewer and filled with frenetic activity, and the Smoothie King Center provides a much more intimate experience than the cavernous Superdome — no binoculars or altitude sickness pills required.

A few tips to make your Pelicans game day experience a memorable one.

HARRAH’S THEATER

P H O T O BY D E R I C K H I N G L E

The Pelicans’ dance team is really fun to watch; the Swoop Troop (young minions detailed to the ever-present Pierre the Pelican, who makes appearances throughout the building) are acrobatic and full of energy; and TV timeout interludes are designed to engage the crowd and keep the vibe rolling.

Pelicans corporate communications manager Lindsey Mitchell says there will be several giveaway nights throughout the season to get your tchotchkes on, and lots of theme nights including Military Night, ’70s and ’80s Nights, Superhero Night and even Coastal Restoration Night.

If you have a few extra bucks to spend, the Pelicans offer more rarefied game experiences, including the Capital One Lounge — a “premium buffet” complete with Drago’s grilled oysters and an upscale bar setting — and the Hub, North and South Club lounges. Even if you don’t have a premium ticket, there are premium dining and drinking kiosks sprinkled throughout the building, including, of course, Smoothie King Smoothies.

If soft drinks are more your style, learn to love Pepsi.

There are lots of family-friendly options as well, including the Jr. Pelicans Kids Club — kids get T-shirts, hats, a miniature basketball, and opportunities to shoot free throws on the court after some games. For more info, check www.nba. com/pelicans/jrpelicans.html

The Western Conference is brutally competitive, and the Pelicans were the only team in the Southwestern Division last year to finish under .500. The division includes completely dominant San Antonio, who won the 2014 Finals. The Pelicans will have to step up their effort and finish better than their 4-12 divisional record if they hope to secure a playoff spot.

22

As disastrous as the New Orleans Pelicans’ last season was, it proved the best NBA teams have great stars but also great supporting players.

New Orleans was the only team in the Southwest to miss the playoffs, but the difference between another lost season and a playoff run won’t be stars like Anthony Davis, Tyreke Evans and Jrue Holiday, it will be some players that casual fans might overlook. Meet five Pels who bear watching:

1 Omer Asik (CENTER)

Probably the most crucial player to the Pelicans’ championship aspirations is also the newest. New Orleans acquired the Turkish big man in a trade with the Houston Rockets, hoping to give the Pelicans one of the more intimidating front courts in the league. The Pelicans’ defense, despite leading the league in blocks (mostly thanks to Davis), ranked in the bottom half of the league in terms of efficiency and rebounds.

Asik provides a potential solution to both those problems and, if it doesn’t work out, he’s a free agent after this year.

PHOTO C O UR TE S Y NB A

2 Ryan Anderson (FORWARD)

Much like that other team across Girod Street, the Pelicans have been dismal visitors. Last year the Pelicans were 22-19 at the SKC, but only 12-29 on the road. Unlike in football, every single game doesn’t carry overwhelming weight — even great basketball teams are expected to lose around 20 games over an 82-game season, and there are individual and team ebbs and flows as the months pass. But the truism remains: teams that can’t win on the road just aren’t contenders.

OCKIN BL

This is all you need to know about Anderson: After he was injured in a game against the Boston Celtics Jan. 3, New Orleans lost nine of its next ten games and all but said goodbye to its playoff hopes. That’s no coincidence. Anderson averaged close to 20 points a game before his injury and, most important, helped spread the floor with his long-distance shooting, giving Davis the perfect safety valve in the key. With Anderson on the floor, teams can’t just double-team Davis and clog the inside. It’s those type of mismatches that the best teams rely on for wins.

TO WATCH

3 John Salmons

(SMALL FORWARD)

FLOPPING Gordon, in a story that has been told to death, never really materialized or fulfilled the great promise of his potential. However, this is the first time Gordon hasn’t been suffering from, or recovering from, an injury since coming to New Orleans in 2011, and he will almost certainly be the Pelicans’ starting point guard.

In camp he’s been in tough competition with another guard who showed more promise on paper than on the court — Austin Rivers.

The two have been matched up and fighting it out in camp and the preseason. Also look for swingman Evans to possibly make a play for the starting guard position as soon as he’s healthy.

PAGE 24

For all the new additions the Pelicans have made in the past few seasons, the team sometimes seems to have forgotten about the small forward position. Through the first few days of training camp, it seems as though Salmons has become the Pelicans’ starter, despite being, at best, the team’s seventh-best player.

The problem is that Salmons hasn’t had a statistically memorable season since 2011 and, at small forward, he’ll be tasked with guarding superstars like Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard and (just twice in the regular season, thankfully) LeBron James. With luck, Salmons can fit in as a role player and the team defense can pick him up when Durant and other athletic forwards blow past him in the lane.

4 Russ Smith (POINT GUARD)

The rookie from Louisville, Kentucky was a leading scorer on the 2013 NCAA Championship team but still fell to the second round of the NBA draft. He’s not likely to see serious minutes if the players ahead of him stay healthy, but Smith has the potential to be a bench scorer who can keep defenses off balance.

5 Jimmer Fredette

(POINT GUARD)

A surprise All-American senior year at Brigham Young University and an NCAA Tournament run made Fredette a national star.

In the NBA, though, he’s struggled to find his former glory. But the Pelicans have so many questions with their guards that even the Jimmer has a shot to make a name for himself coming off the bench.

DELAY-OF-GAME Despite the front office’s best efforts, basketball remains an also-ran in South Louisiana. Attendance is difficult to determine — the team releases the number of tickets purchased for a game, rather than how many people pass through the turnstiles, making attendance announcements shaky at best and patently absurd at worst. But even at capacity (just over 18,000) a Pelicans sellout is a fraction of the home crowd of a Saints or LSU football game. And even diehard hoops fans find it difficult to trek downtown three or four times a week.

However, the team and the state have sunk tens of millions of dollars into refurbishing the Smoothie King Center, and this year, for the first time, the Pelicans have secured television broadcasts for every single game: 77 on Fox Sports New Orleans, and five nationally broadcast games (three on NBATV, and one each on ESPN and TNT). This year may be the perfect opportunity to capitalize on a shaky Saints squad and steal some interest.

JUMP BALL

24

JUMP BALL There are still plenty of questions about this still-young squad. Who will emerge as the locker room leader? Can Monty Williams coach to the team he has, rather than squeeze the players into his system? Will Anderson recover from personal and professional woes to wow again from behind the 3-point arc, and will All-Star Jrue Holiday return to form after missing most of last season with a leg injury?

The mere presence of offseason acquisition Omer Asik at center presages a completely new look for the Pelicans’ defense — he’ll dominate the paint and free up Davis for even more open looks on the other side of the court.

Davis spent a long summer of international play right alongside Coach Williams — will that translate into wins, or into The AD Show and frustrations from other players? Who will emerge at small forward — veteran John Salmons or the emerging Darius Miller?

The Pelicans now have plenty of talent, real depth at most positions, young energy, seasoned veterans and an outright superstar in Davis. If the team can stay loose and maintain its rotations, there is no reason why it won’t be able to hang with stronger teams and wear them down with solid defending. Prediction: Expect to see the Pelicans make a playoff run this year, maybe even into the second round.

What are F NATIONAL MEDIA saying about the Pelicans?

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > OCTOBER 21 > 2014

or all the news the New Orleans Pelicans have made locally — from the name change to the slew of offseason moves and the new court — it can be easy to lose sight of where the team stands in the national conversation.

Despite missing the playoffs for three straight seasons, New Orleans has stayed relevant due to Anthony Davis’ breakout stardom. Davis was named MVP of the U.S. National Basketball Team at this summer’s FIBA World Championships and Sports Illustrated named him the team’s “most indispensable two-way player.” Adi Joseph of USA Today ranked the Locally, there’s Pelicans eighth in talk about its “watchability” whether guard rankings based Austin Rivers’ mostly on Davis’ shooting skills; ESPN percentage Insider’s Amin justifies Elhassan ranked his salary. the Pelicans the PHOTO best young NBA COURTESY team because NBA Davis is “the best player on the planet under 25” and the folks at Basketball said there is no doubt he’s going to be “an absolute superstar” and will only get better.

Subtract Davis from the conversation, though, and talk of the Pelicans is almost nonexistent among national basketball watchers. ESPN’s Grantland, which was founded and is edited by basketballobsessed Bill Simmons, barely mentioned the Pelicans in this year’s NBA season preview. Other outlets mention New Orleans with a series of questions. Can they stay healthy? Will Eric Gordon, Jrue Holiday and Tyreke Evans be able to share the ball, especially with Davis emerging? Can Monty Williams and Dell Demps avoid getting fired if the team fails to succeed?

For Pelicans fans, though, the most important questions have to do with the team’s salary cap (the team currently is more than $6 million over the cap).

Grantland’s Zach Lowe recently brought up one of two elephants in the team locker room: guard Austin Rivers. As Lowe writes, Rivers “has basically been a disaster.” With Rivers’ rookie contract expiring in two seasons, the Pelicans have to decide if he’s worth the nearly five million dollars he’d earn in that span or if they’d be better off trading Rivers to try to get back under the cap.

The Rivers situation seems salvageable. Lowe has plenty of praise for Rivers’ ball-handling and distribution skills but maintains the third-year guard must improve his shooting percentage significantly to justify his salary.

The other, much richer, elephant in the locker room is Eric Gordon. Acquired in the trade that sent Chris Paul to the Los Angeles Clippers, Gordon has played in less than half of New Orleans’ games in the three years he’s been here — while getting paid nearly $15 million a year. Moreover, Gordon doesn’t seem to like playing in New Orleans. Unfortunately for both Gordon and the Pelicans, his massive contract and injury history make trading him a non-starter.

Sobering salary cap news aside, most pundits seem at least optimistic about the Pelicans’ chances this season (so long as the team stays healthy). ESPN’s Bradford Doolittle listed New Orleans as a team that could surprise many with over 50 wins and a playoff berth, a mark matched by Basketball Insider’s best case scenario for the team. — ALEJANDRO DE LOS RIOS

Noise overshadows the food at CellarDoor.

By Sarah Baird

Bao serving

curled around the plate’s circumference like a Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea fantasy. Despite its sea monster size, the octopus is tender and supple, marrying well with creamy root vegetable puree spread out beneath it like a sea floor. The dish is a menu standout, but its high points were overshadowed by several noticeable chips in the serving dish, which is unappealing and potentially hazardous.

Rule four: Thou shalt have all (or most) food available.

If you’re planning on visiting CellarDoor with a particular dish in mind, be forewarned: Menu availability is spotty, with many popular dishes (most notably, adobo-glazed wings) sometimes going extinct before the dinner rush commences. For a restaurant that prides itself on night-owl hours, it’s disappointing when dishes vanish closer to sunset than sunrise.

Even when food is available, key ingredients are sometimes omitted without explanation.

Edamame hummus (steeply priced at $11) complete with whipped feta arrived as two wispy paintbrush strokes without the roasted red peppers listed on the menu. Notice of their absence brought a shrug from the server, and the peppers would have added much needed pop of color and texture to the dish.

New Orleans is full of restaurants, and most of them — from food trucks to fine dining destinations — take pride in the quality of their meals and service. With so many options available, it’s difficult to imagine the lasting appeal of a restaurant lacking in both.

CellarDoor misses on too many basic tenets of restaurant etiquette

When Sound Cafe shuttered earlier this year, the loss of the neighborhood coffee stalwart (and accompanying pop-up doughnut shop) was disappointing. But spirits were lifted when it was announced Herbsaint veteran Doug Crowell is opening a casual, elegant Chinese restaurant, Bao & Noodle (2700 Chartres St., 504-459-9382; www. baoandnoodle.com).

Bao & Noodle officially opens Tuesday, Oct. 21, with a thoughtful and curious menu full of recognizable and unusual Chinese dishes. Small plates include scallion pancakes and “strange flavor” peanuts and entrees include beef chow fun, tea eggs with greens and dan dan noodles. Desserts are intriguing, with a ginger milk custard and almond jelly with osmanthus (a delicate, white-flowered plant) syrup sure to attract those with an adventurous sweet tooth.

Courtyard opens

After building the Erato Street brewery themselves, creating decor out of recycled materials, head brewer Scott Wood and Lindsay Hellwig open Courtyard Brewery (1020 Erato St.; www.courtyardbrewing.com) Thursday, Oct. 23. It will be cash only during the soft opening, Wood says.

The Louisiana Office of Alcohol and Tobacco Control (ATC) granted Courtyard’s license to brew and serve beer in early October, and Wood has begun brewing test batches. The first few weeks will feature special guest draft beers while the house beer is brewing.

The brewery is equipped with 13 taps, but will start with six to eight taps until Wood’s beer is ready.

ellarDoor seeks to capitalize on two hot trends in New Orleans: internationally inspired small plates and renovation of a historic space. Aesthetically, the restaurant hits all the right notes (exposed brick and dark wood) for attracting a crowd angling to see and be seen, but the food is ultimately overshadowed by a largely inhospitable atmosphere.

I’m no Emily Post, but I know a thing or two about dining in public. There are several basic rules of restaurant decorum that should be followed to ensure diners enjoy their meals with relative ease. In spite of its lovely, gilded exterior, attractive contemporary art collection and promising menu, CellarDoor regularly misses on far too many basic tenets of restaurant etiquette to make dining in its halls worth the price.

Rule one: Thou shalt be considerate of reasonable noise levels.

The main dining area is deafeningly loud during the majority of its dinner service, and — if you arrive after 10 p.m. — it’s often not worth even attempting to hold a conversation.

Do you like to yell? Do you feel like sharing your conversation with the rest of the restaurant’s patrons? This is the place for you. On one visit, a particularly boisterous young man in a vented fishing shirt tipped his chair so far back into our table while glugging from the communal water bottle that he almost landed his hand in my hamburger.

Fortunately, he missed. The burger itself was decadent and rich. The addition of brisket to the patty provided complexity, balanced by the spread of beer-brined, bacon-speckled caramelized-onion marmalade. It is worth ordering the burger and a side of the sweet-and-spicy plantain chips and then taking them to the restaurant’s outdoor seating area, which seems to be the only respite from the noise.

Rule two: Thou shalt not be unfriendly.

When the dining area is busy, CellarDoor tends to operate more like a bar than a restaurant, with aloof servers who often seem as if diners are inconveniencing them. While the bar staff is generally affable, the uninterested attitude of the tableside servers makes even the best dishes seem unappetizing.

Delicately skewered lamb kebabs are almost inviting enough that one can ignore the surroundings. The meat is plated on a bed of inventive, chunky apricot and eggplant relish that helps bring forth the best of the dish’s Mediterranean elements.

Rule three: Thou shalt throw away broken things.

French connection

The Warehouse District has become a hub for classical French cooking, with a couple of new restaurants bringing Parisian flair to the neighborhood. In September, Chateau du Lac (2037 Metairie Road, 504-831-3773; www.chateaudulacbistro.com) opened a second location (857 Fulton St., 504-301-0235; www.facebook.com/chateaudulacwarehouse). Diners looking for something light in the morning, but every bit as French, can head to Cafe 821 (821 Baronne St., 504-267-5456; www. facebook.com/cafe821).

Cafe 821 opened quietly this summer and has been keeping a low profile and attracting followers with artful cafe au laits and delicate croissants.

Petroski is a member of New Belgium’s wood cellar team, which oversees the barrel-aging program and foeders (enormous barrels) that make up its sour program. He’s been with the cellar team for seven years and says, “Making some of the best beers out there is a fulfilling way to make ends meet.”

The beer dinner features hors d’oeuvres and many of New Belgium’s flagship beers paired with courses such as Buffalo quail, black lagerbraised short ribs and baked brie with candied ginger. Several of the dishes are prepared with the beers that will be served alongside them.

The dinner costs $65. Call (504) 525-6022 for reservations.

3-COURSE interview

Alton Brown

Host of Iron Chef America and Good Eats Alton Brown is an author and host of TV shows including Good Eats and Iron Chef America. He brings his touring variety show Alton Brown Live: The Edible Inevitable to the Saenger Theatre Oct. 24.

Brown spoke with Gambit about Warren Zevon, ponchos and his tendency to overindulge in New Orleans.

What can people expect from the Edible Inevitable show? I have heard there’s a “poncho zone.”

Brown: I have no idea why people talk about the ponchos so much. I think of this as a culinary variety show. In a true variety show vein, there are all sorts of things going on. There’s live music — I’m doing some of my food songs — there are puppets, there are filmed pieces, there’s a Twitter-based Q&A and there are two very large, very strange, very unusual culinary demonstrations — the likes of which people have never seen. The reason we give out ponchos is that one of the demonstrations does tend to create a fair amount of particulate matter that is airborne and can settle on people’s clothing. We don’t want to upset people, so we hand out ponchos to the first couple of rows. It’s not that we’re trying to make a mess, it’s that messes sometimes happen.

I’m not sure it’s a three-ring circus, but there are definitely two rings. There’s a fair amount going on in the two hours.

I’ll gain 15 pounds while I’m in New Orleans. I’ll eat 12 meals at Cochon Butcher.

I’ll have beignets every morning. I’ll have one muffuletta a day. I can’t stay long.

When I do it gets ugly. I get fat very, very quickly.

What’s been your biggest food experiment success?

Your show Good Eats was largely based around using exacting measurements, but this is different from the “pinch of this, a dash of that” method you grew up with in Georgia. Where do the two intersect?

B: It all has to do with how things are communicated. The reason that we had “a pinch of this, a pinch of that” was because we were learning how to cook from direct interaction with our relatives — moms, grandmothers — so we actually learned from a person who was watching us do it, so there was constant feedback. When that chain was broken or became less prevalent, people started getting their culinary information from media. The problem is: Media doesn’t have the feedback part down. I can show you how to make a pie crust, but I can’t give you notes on your pie crust. We can’t eat that pie crust together and talk about it.

The best that I can do is make it precise to help you understand what is going on, to understand what you’re doing and what the food needs.

Georgia’s vegetables are really the stars, and Georgian cooking is very agrarian and very vegetable-based. I think that there are few things better than a bowl of well-cooked field peas, stewed tomatoes or black-eyed peas. — SARAH BAIRD

B: The thing that I smile to myself the most about is the invention that I came up with called the “turkey derrick,” which is a way to turn a ladder into a device to safely fry a turkey. Every time I see it, or every time I make it and fry turkey with it, I think, “You know what, this is pretty frickin’ great. I’m proud of this.” It’s so difficult to fry a turkey safely otherwise.

When I’m cooking or in the kitchen, I like to listen to music. I’m really all over the map with what I like, from ’70s funk, to modern-day rap, to jazz to opera. I really dig opera. Lately, I’ve been on a Warren Zevon kick. I just keep listening to him over and over and over. I miss that guy.

There are still things I really can’t do very well. On a day-to-day basis, I make pretty crappy coffee.

NEW ORLEANS

BEER buzz Louisiana’s two newest breweries are releasing special beers this month with special events. 40 Arpent Brewing Co. is providing the house beer for the Deutsches Haus’ Oktoberfest.

“When I moved to New Orleans in July 2000, the first event I went to was the Deutsches Haus Oktoberfest,” says head brewer Michael Naquin. “Around when I decided it was time to open a brewery, we were at the last fest on Galvez (Street) and I thought, ‘Why doesn’t the Haus have its own beer for the fest?’”

Three years later, Naquin produced the beer for Deutsches Haus’ Oktoberfest. Deutsches Haus Fest Bier is a Munich-style Oktoberfest beer, and it is slightly different from a traditional Michael Naquin crafted 40 marzen. It has 5.8 percent alcohol by Arpent Brewing Company’s volume (ABV), and Naquin used Hallertau, Deutsches Haus Fest Bier for Tradition and Tettnang hops for a balDeutsches Haus’ Oktoberfest. anced hop profile and Southern German P H O T O C O U R T E S Y EM I LY N A Q U I N Lager Yeast. “This is truly my favorite to brew and is a fantastic lager,” Naquin says.

Gnarly Barley Brewing Co. is rolling out the third beer in its portfolio, Korova Milk Porter, a cold-fermented Baltic oatmeal milk porter with 6.4 percent ABV. “We are very excited about the release because this is a beer we really enjoy,” says Gnarly Barley co-founder Cari Caramonta. “It will be our third commercially released beer, just in time for the fall weather. The Korova Milk Porter was (head brewer) Zac (Caramonta’s) first homebrew recipe that he developed completely on his own. It also was the first one he submitted to a contest and brought to a public beer festival.”

The beer debuted at the brewery’s Gnarly Barley Q party Oct. 18. Caramonta says the company soon will sell the beer on the Northshore and in Baton Rouge and New Orleans. — NORA McGUNNIGLE Email Nora McGunnigle at nora@nolabeerblog.com

2013 Grove Mill Pinot Noir

MARLBOROUGH, NEW ZEALAND RETAIL $20

Established in Marlborough’s Wairau Valley in 1988, Grove Mill winery uses sustainable agricultural practices in the production of a range of varietal wines including sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, riesling, pinot gris, merlot and pinot noir. The Wairau Valley’s different soil compositions have a direct impact on the wines produced. Quick-draining, shallow, stony soils are found along the terraces in the river valley’s warm, dry climate and clay and silt are more prevalent in the hills. Protected from the coastal region’s harshest climate, the valley’s warm, dry weather is moderated during the growing season by cooling breezes from Cloudy Bay. The winning combination of sunny days and chilling ocean winds lengthens the grapes’ ripening time, leading to well-balanced acidity and fruit character. In the cellar, pre- and post-fermentation maceration are combined with partial barrel fermentation to develop this pinot noir’s complexity. Most of the wine was aged in French oak barriques and filtered prior to bottling. In the glass, it offers aromas of cherry, raspberry and a hint of earthy mushrooms. On the palate, taste black plum, cassis and dried herbs. Open 30 minutes before serving. Drink it with steak, grilled mushrooms, lamb, roast pork, venison, duck and tuna. Buy it at: Whole Foods Markets. — BRENDA MAITLAND

“Don’t order from [a restaurant’s cocktail menu] at all if what you really want is a Sazerac, a French 75 or another standard. Restaurants rarely list them, but ordering an off-the-menu classic is not like asking for a bowl of chili at Le Bernardin.”

— New York Times writer Pete Wells in an essay on the perils of restaurant cocktail menus, which are currently popular with diners but can yield hit-or-miss results. He suggests many restaurants should keep things simple if they don’t have experienced bartenders creating house drinks.

Screaming Females headline Community Records’ annual music festival.

cussion, like, ‘We’re going to be a wild and crazy live band, and on the records, more subdued.’ As with a lot of things that have happened in our lives together as a band, those things kind of just happen.”

Paternoster never had a guitar lesson. She picked up her dad’s guitar in her freshman year of high school (“because there was one in the house”) and learned to play along to records in her home in Elizabeth, New Jersey.

“It grew on me,” she says. “I didn’t go to many shows because there just weren’t that many. There was one place that had all-ages punk shows. I use ‘punk’ loosely. It was a hodgepodge. It was 40 minutes from my house. We’d go for a drive, and the shows weren’t particularly good. It was a pay-to-play thing. That’s why the bills were so weird. Sometimes we’d just drive up and hang out. Sometimes it was a ska band, a hardcore band, some guy with a guitar — none of that stuff ever vibed with me.”

Paternoster met Jarrett Dougherty and Mike Rickenbacker when she moved to New Brunswick, where longtime pop-punk band The Ergs served as the nucleus for basement shows across town. Paternoster remembers seeing the band for the first time.

“I was so overwhelmed that there were a million people there — and I was uncomfortable — and I had finally found what I was looking for, not to sound corny,” she says. “I had this weird panic attack. ‘I can’t be down here!’ I was sitting on a dirty couch in the garage. ‘I can’t be here. I hate this.’ Eventually, obviously, I had realized I felt the exact opposite. I loved it.

New Jersey’s Screaming Females return to New Orleans and the Community Records festival.

It was so overwhelming. I was waiting to hang out with those kinds of people and that kind of music for so long, that all of a sudden it happened one day randomly without expecting it. It was jarring.”

Following Ugly and the band’s explosive outings on 2009’s Power Move and the breakthrough 2010 album Castle Talk, this month the band released the single “Wishing Well,” a dialed-down power-pop departure.

Paternoster says the band, like its live show, isn’t attached to a formula. (The single’s B-side, “Let Me In,” is a harmony-filled charging bull.)

“There’s no shock or awe factor,” Paternoster says. “We’re a rock ’n’ roll band, we like to write good songs, we make records that are interesting for us to make and listen to, and that’s kind of it.”

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > OCTOBER 21 > 2014

efore your band goes on tour, go down the checklist: pay bills, do laundry, don’t drive through Mardi Gras traffic to get to a show.

“Maybe we should’ve known it was Mardi Gras,” says Marissa Paternoster, Screaming Females’ mop-haired conjurer of shredding guitar wizardry, who booked a show on Magazine Street during peak Carnival time four years ago. “But we didn’t. We didn’t know it was going on for so long. We’ve never been to it, and it wasn’t on purpose. In my mind, Mardi Gras was a thing that lasted a couple days, maybe a week.

There was a parade. We’re driving and I’m like, ‘The traffic is just out of this world. What is going on?’ It takes forever to get there. We show up on the block Hey! Cafe is on, and it’s not accessible. And we’re like, ‘Oh, we’re so dumb. It’s Mardi Gras.’ It took a really long time to figure out how to get the stuff into the cafe. We might’ve begged a cop. I never want to feel that way again.”

The band returns to New Orleans to headline Community Records’ Block Party on Oct. 25 at the Carver Theater. The annual daylong punk rock festival from the local record collective also features New Orleans bands and Community Records labelmates Caddywhompus, Donovan Wolfington, All People and Sirens, among others, as well as Heat Dust, PEARS and a dozen other acts, from hardcore punk and noise bands to Saddle Creek’s power-pop renaissance man and Screaming Females tourmate Pujol.

Screaming Females — pride of New Brunswick, New Jersey basement shows whose fans (and collaborators) now include ’90s heroes Garbage and celebrated engineer Steve Albini — emerged as punk’s power-pop power-trio, with Paternoster’s commanding guitar (listed as the 77th all-time best, according to SPIN.com) and equally arresting howls.

Following the band’s Albini-engineered fifth album, 2012’s Ugly (Don Giovanni Records), Screaming Females enlisted Albini to record a live album, this year’s Live at the Hideout.

“When we play live we always for some reason play like we’re in a really heavy band, and sometimes we can be,” Paternoster says. “People would always come up to us like, ‘You guys rock, I like your records, but I like you more live.’ … The only thing that ever crossed my mind when we’re playing shows is I want to play my best. We never sat down and had that dis-

Of Montreal

OCT

24

10 p.m. Friday

Except for a May visit in 2010, The Howlin’ Wolf Of Montreal’s annual invasion of 907 S. Peters St. The Howlin’ Wolf is one of the (504) 522-9653 surest rites of fall, a dresseddown, propped-up freak-quinox www.thehowlinwolf.com that marks both the apex and the deepest depths of New Orleans’ autumn concert calendar. (Kevin Barnes in a recent interview called the band’s performances “Fellini-esque.”) Even during the spell of bad weather in his temporary head — the comedown from 2008’s delirious Skeletal Lamping through the release of last fall’s cathartic Lousy With Sylvianbriar — Barnes used his traveling circus as an escape from himself. Thus, unsolicited nudity, gift horses, game-show contests, vintage porn, gay-parade costumes, ecstasy peaks and night terrors brought to hilarious and frightening life. Oh yeah, and music; no matter that the songs stopped taking shape and congealed into thinly veiled outbursts and uncontrollable logorrhea. Sylvianbriar cured all that, live to tape. Instead of lamenting his own misfortune, Barnes revels in everyone else’s: “Your mother hung herself in the national theater when she was four months pregnant with your sister, who would’ve been 13 years old today,” he sings nonchalantly over swooning bass piece “Colossus,” like a kid pulling the wings off a curio. “Does that make you feel any less alone in the world?” On the ponderosa stomp of “Hegira Emigre,” Barnes goes off half-cocked (“My baby’s meditating to stop the war/ But I got myself a rifle ’cause I ain’t gonna get walked on anymore”), his best Ted Nugent confirming two absolute truths: The past is a grotesque animal, and happiness is a warm gun.

FILM LISTINGS REVIEW

St. Vincent

It’s the easiest pitch in Hollywood: Bill Murray is a cantankerous codger with a hidden heart of gold. What self-respecting St. Vincent (PG-13) OPENS (and profit-hunDirected by Ted Melfi OCT gry) film studio wouldn’t give Starring Bill Murray, that movie the Melissa McCarthy, green light? Since Naomi Watts and his 1998 career Jaeden Lieberher restart in Wes Limited release Anderson’s Rushmore, Murray has become a hipster icon mostly through wide-ranging variations on a single, endlessly appealing character.

Writer/director Ted Melfi’s St. Vincent provides Murray with another opportunity to show his stuff in the form of Vin, a chronically broke and foul-mouthed senior citizen with a significant drinking problem and a prostitute (Naomi Watts) for a girlfriend. Vin isn’t funny enough to be endearing, but that doesn’t stop Murray from making him interesting. The movie doesn’t fare as well overall, working overtime to avoid sentimentality only to succumb in spectacular style shortly before the credits roll.

St. Vincent tells a familiar story of unlikely compatriots when Vin becomes accidental mentor to 12-year old Oliver (newcomer and onscreen natural Jaeden Lieberher), son of his new neighbor Maggie (Melissa McCarthy, in an atypically serious role). First-time feature director Melfi has made more than a hundred commercials and a slew of short films, and he has a little trouble with pacing in the full-length format.

Plentiful music selections ranging from Jefferson Airplane to The National show the director’s eclectic tastes, but often seem out of place in the context of the movie. The second major film in a month (after The Drop) to celebrate old-school outer-borough Brooklyn, St. Vincent makes amends through an unmistakable 1970s vibe. With Bill Murray involved, it dosn’t need much more than that. — KEN KORMAN

REVIEW

Fury

Fury (R)

“Ideals are Directed by David Ayer peaceful, hisStarring Brad Pitt, tory is violent” Logan Lerman passes for profundity in Wide release the remarkably uncomplicated and old-fashioned World War II movie Fury.

Playing a tank commander named Wardaddy, straight-faced Brad Pitt delivers the hokey line.

But it might as well be John Wayne, William Holden or any number of war-movie heroes from the early days of Hollywood — Fury is that far removed from the world of 21st-century film.

Only the graphic depiction of heads and limbs getting blown to smithereens marks the movie as a product of the modern age.

Set during a single 24-hour period in the final days of the Great War, Fury has Army sergeant Wardaddy leading his tank crew deep into Germany for a series of brutal encounters with Nazis angered by their impending defeat.

Pacifist rookie soldier Norman (Logan Lerman) joins the crew just before battle calls, forcing Wardaddy to school the new guy quickly or put his all his crew in jeopardy. It’s a simple setup that evolves in predictable ways, leaving us not as emotionally involved as we should be. Apart from realistic battle scenes, Fury’s primary selling point is the videogamelike thrill of seeing Nazis taken down before they can do the same to Americans. That’s a slender hook on which to hang a lavishly produced film, and one that seems misguided given the sober nature of the subject matter. — KEN KORMAN

REVIEW

Big Charity

Though it begins and ends as a sentimental journey through the Charity Hospital system, director Alexander John Glustrom’s documentary Big Charity ultimately emerges as a OCT Big Charity work of advocacy against 6:30 p.m. Tue.-Wed. disaster capitalism. From Joy Theater, the workaday heroism 1200 Canal St. of those stranded at “Mama Charity” in the (504) 528-9569 days following Hurricane Katrina www.neworleansto the construction of the new filmfestival.org University Medical Center (UMC), the film argues that the oldest continuously operating hospital in the United States fell victim not to flooding but to politics. Interviews with current and former public officials and hospital staff suggest the problem is not that Charity should have been saved, but that the valiant efforts of employees and volunteers already had saved it — only to see the closure go ahead anyway.

After a flat nod at the institution’s history, from the hospital’s founding in 1736 to the construction of the structure on Tulane Avenue, which began in 1927, Big Charity focuses on the events of late August and early September 2005 with images of rising floodwaters and a recording of a woman’s harrowing prayer.

More arresting is the examination of what came next.

Hundreds of people loyal to Charity banded together to reopen the hospital, repairing the damage and restoring the wards to working condition. In spite of the desperate lack of health care services in the city, its doors remained closed. In order to receive adequate federal money to fund the UMC project, “a decision was made somewhere higher up to scuttle Charity,” one source says — despite evidence that fiscal responsibility and the public good would be better served by modernizing the existing facility. Big Charity features few proponents of the UMC and at times offers more conjecture than fact. But as a reminder that the end of Charity Hospital arose from man-made rather than natural causes, it’s an important warning that “recovery” has consequences, too. Big Charity screens as part of the New Orleans Film Festival’s Marquee Series. — MATT BRENNAN

Beautiful Dirt: Ballgowns of Lightness & Dark, recent work by Troy Dugas, 7000-Day Candles and Feel Good Paintings for Feel Bad Times

Words are everywhere. They seemed to be taking over the art world not so long ago, even replacing images in paintings as theory-crazed critics predicted the “end of art.” Instead, visual art has thrived as the last refuge of “the ineffable” — stuff that can’t be stated verbally. In this show, words are important but mostly play supporting roles in the works of four artists. For instance, Lesley Dill always used words in her sculptures based on antique ball gowns rendered in fabric or metal. Here her new sculptures sport lacy filigrees of letters that, combined with the spectral creatures who inhabit them, imbue their formal, Jane Austen-esque elegance with a spooky, near incantatory vibe.

In the work of Troy Dugas, words turn up unexpectedly in formal compositions that resemble mandalas or semi-abstract portraits. Close examination reveals they are comprised of shredded product labels obsessively arranged into formal patterns, so the mystical mandala, The Pride of Sam Adams (pictured), is actually cobbled from countless Sam Adams beer labels. Dugas’ portraits involve similar imagistic judo, transforming commercial byproducts into more epiphanous objects.

Elements of pop and mysticism are united in Dave Greber’s 7000-Day Candle series of video altar boxes glowing in a dark, grottolike chamber. Red/Passion is typical, a video altar box in which images of hearts and slot machine cherries surround a candle with the magic words “Lover” and “Power” pulsating behind it; it may only be a matter of time before they appear in local botanicas.

Words become emphatic in the work of Deborah Kass. Her sculptural “Y” and “O” letters are installed by a glass wall so they read either “YO” or “OY” depending on where you stand. Her canvases are no less buoyant, but it is a neon sculpture that really has the final say: Enough Already. — D. ERIC BOOKHARDT Isaac Delgado Fine Arts Gallery.

REVIEW

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

Every day after school, 13-year-old Margot listens to grunge music in a parking lot across from a southern California shopping mall.

She smokes the remainders of cigarettes she finds on the ground and indulges in mid-1990s-era teen angst, which has led her to found the GRUNGE club. She is the organization’s sole member until, after finding one of Margot’s flyers, the clean-cut Jake comes to a meeting. The two begin a relationship built on rock ’n’ roll rebellion in the NOLA Project’s production of Shiner at Marigny Theatre at the AllWays Lounge.

Frank Oliva’s spare set features a desert landscape backdrop, a pay phone and a sign that says, “No littering, loitering, and drinking of alcoholic beverages.”

When Jake (Alexander Neher) first arrives, Margot (Cecile Monteyne) thinks he may be a “poseur.” He doesn’t have a single band name written on his sneakers. Although he has never listened to grunge music, Jake wants to change his life. He recently was beaten up by a classmate and is eager to find some sort of camaraderie or relief. At Margot’s command, he listens to an entire Nirvana album for the first time, which causes him, he says later, to levitate. The two decide to save their lunch money to buy tickets for an upcoming Nirvana concert, after which they can “die happy.”

As grunge kids, Monteyne and Neher are pitch-perfect. Jake comes to Margot as a shy, bullied kid. He stutters. With each almost-grasped word, Neher brings out Jake’s inner struggle. Through music and Margot’s friendship, Jake embraces his underlying anger. Neher’s performance is full of energy, and it’s also heartbreaking as Jake chooses a new dark and dangerous path. In black clothes, ripped stockings and flannel, Monteyne is the epitome of a diehard Nirvana fan. Her comedic timing is impressive, and she’s able to balance wild-eyed teen exuberance and acerbic delivery. Margot’s boldness is mostly a facade, however, and some of Monteyne’s best moments come when Margot’s vulnerability emerges.

Christian Durso’s script is witty and quick; at one point, Jake says puberty makes his “voice crack,” to which Margot responds with an update on her body’s changes, “I’m bleeding.” Punctuated by Nirvana songs at scene changes, the show offers an earnest look at teenage problems such as coping with depression and parents’ divorces. In another writer’s hands, the teens could have turned into melodramatic tropes, but Jake and Margot sound like real people.

Jake’s quick transformation is both mental and physical, and he and Margot switch roles. Toward the end of the show, he wears Margot’s leather jacket and begins vandalizing school property. Concerned about her safety, Margot’s parents move her to a private school. Kurt Cobain’s suicide sends the two into a tailspin, and the show’s final moments are frightening and cathartic.

Without being heavy-handed, Shiner uses rock music to broach serious issues, and the show is more than a ’90s nostalgia piece. Rock ’n’ roll drives the action forward, but there’s a surprising amount of depth to it. — TYLER GILLESPIE New Movement presents a stand-up comedy showcase. 8:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Known to his clients as “More than Just a Realtor” Schaff was named as one of the Wall Street Journal’s Top 200 Income Producers in Real Estate in 2006.
