SEVEN THINGS TO DO IN SEVEN DAYS

Cameos

(Sandy) Alex G W WED. OCT. 11 | Philadelphia’s Alexander Giannascoli is as indie as indie rockers get: a sideways singer and loner bedroom recorder whose glinting, refracted guitar-and-vocal arrangements on 2014’s DSU drew an early-catalog reissue by British imprint Lucky Number Music. His last two releases, Beach Music and this year’s prismatic Rocket (Domino), kicked open the bedroom door.

The New Orleans Film Festival features 230 films, filmmakers, parties and more

BY WILL COVIELLO THE OPENING NIGHT FILM SCREENING

is usually a big event for a film festival, but for the New Orleans Film Society’s Fallon Young, who came on as executive director in March, it’ll be satisfying for another reason.

“I haven’t seen many of the films yet,” she says with a laugh. “I am excited to see The Florida Project. I love Willem Dafoe.”

The Florida Project is the latest film from director Sean Baker, who used an iPhone to shoot Tangerine, about a transgender sex worker who discovers her boyfriend/pimp is cheating on her.

The New Orleans Film Festival (Oct. 11-19) includes more than 230 films, from advanced releases from major studios to narrative and documentary films in juried competitions for festival awards to showcases of experimental and animated shorts. A handful of films were curated but most were selected by juries from more than 5,000 entries. There are more than 50 Louisiana-made films, programs of Caribbean and Cuban films, a New French Cinema section and a new Change-Makers program with films about social activism. Screenings take place at venues including Cinebarre Canal Place 9 and Orpheum, The Prytania and Broad theaters.

Patricia Clarkson is scheduled for a live interview, and Gabourey Sidibe will record an interview for Slate’s “Represent” podcast. Sidibe starred in Precious and directed the short film The Tale of Four, which is being screened at the festival. There also are virtual reality experiences, music videos, parties, panel discussions and more.

The Florida Project is about children who live in a budget motel near Disneyland in Florida and imagine their own wonderland. Among the festival’s other films with upcoming theatrical releases is Mudbound, in which an African-American veteran returns from World War II and moves his family from Memphis to a rural

TUE. OCT. 10 | The sounds bubbling inside Nick Hakim’s debut album Green Twins (ATO Records) mirror the faded neons on its cover, depicting a slimy eyeball staring into a mirror on an alien landscape: introspective, psychedelic soul and deep-space grooves. Dreamy pop singer-songwriter Sam Evian opens at 9 p.m. at Gasa Gasa.

Mississippi where they struggle to learn to farm while suffering racial resentment from the community.

The Upside, a remake of the French film Les Intouchables, stars comedian Kevin Hart as an ex-con who gets a fresh start in life as an assistant to a billionaire who’s been paralyzed in a hanggliding accident.

The narrative film competition includes After Louie, in which Alan Cumming plays an early HIV/AIDS activist who is startled by the generation gap when he later gets involved with a younger man. In the offbeat She’s Allergic to Cats, an aspiring filmmaker works as a dog groomer while remaking the horror film Carrie using internet cat videos and copes with his own petty horrors and animal attractions.

The documentary competition includes The World is Mine, which is not really a documentary, but is a strange dive into Tokyo’s cosplay scene. Filmmaker Ann Oren presents herself as a cosplayer fascinated with Hatsune Miku, an animated teenaged girl with long blue ponytails who is essentially created by fan fiction and voiced by a synthesizer program.

Behind the scenes, the film society has facilitated more than 350 meetings between filmmakers and producers and industry professionals during the festival. The ongoing Emerging Voices program connects filmmakers of color with producers as well.

“There’s magic in the experience of being able to interface with (other) au-

Run the Jewels FRI. OCT. 13 | Killer Mike and El-P’s hip-hop supercollider rocked New Orleans in March at the Buku Music + Art Project in March. The duo released overwhelming eponymous albums in three of the past four years (and one merely “whelming” feline remix, 2015’s Meow the Jewels).

dience members,” Young says. “Ninety percent of films have filmmakers present for Q&As, so you get a chance to be in the community. It’s not just nine days of films; it’s nine days of parties and connecting and having Hollywood South be introduced to larger community. You get to be in presence of those creative visionaries you’re watching on screen and ask them about their creative process and what they’re trying to achieve with a film.”

Japan Fest SAT. OCT. 14 | The festival highlights traditional Japanese culture (taiko drumming, dance, martial arts, growing bonsai trees, a kimonodressing demonstration) as well as current fads, such as cosplay, Pokemon costuming and a Lolita fashion show. There’s also Japanese food. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the New Orleans Museum of Art and Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden.

John Mulaney SUN. OCT. 15 | Stand-up comedian and writer John Mulaney’s Kid Gorgeous tour follows his acclaimed specials New in Town and The Comeback Kid as well as a Broadway run of Oh, Hello with Nick Kroll, in which the comics portray insufferable old Upper West Siders. There are shows at 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. at the Mahalia Jackson Theater for the Performing Arts.

C’est What

?

How do you feel about the number of debates and forums in New Orleans during this campaign season?

NOT FOR SALE NOLA HAS DISTRIBUTED SEVERAL MAILERS AND POSTED VIDEOS attacking former Municipal Court judge and New Orleans mayoral candidate Desiree Charbonnet in the leadup to the Oct. 14 primary election. The PAC’s membership had remained a mystery, but recent campaign finance records show the PAC is funded by several familiar, deep-pocketed local business leaders, developers and charter school advocates with long-running connections to Louisiana politics.

Leslie Jacobs and Lane Grigsby each donated $40,000 to the PAC. Donating $25,000 each were Jay Lapeyre and Stuart Phillips. Donald “Boysie” Bollinger and Crescent Bank & Trust (whose CEO is Gary Solomon Sr.) gave $15,000 each. Donating $10,000 was Mohamad Motahari through WTD Publishing. Motahari is an associate of Frank Stewart.

In a statement to WWL-TV the group warned against “cronyism and patronage” among candidates in the election. The PAC isn’t endorsing a candidate. — ALEX WOODWARD

I-10 News on the move 1. ‘DOLLAR BILL’

JEFFERSON ORDERED RELEASED FROM PRISON

In a surprise move Oct. 5, a federal judge ordered former U.S. Rep. William Jefferson released immediately from federal prison in Oakdale. Jefferson had been incarcerated since May 2012.

Jefferson, a Democrat who represented Louisiana’s 2nd Congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives for 18 years, was indicted on 16 counts of corruption in 2007 and convicted on 11 of those counts two years later.

One count was tossed several years ago, and Jefferson was PH OTO BY CH E RY L G E R B E R sentenced to 13 years in jail for the remaining 10 convictions.

The counts on which Jefferson was convicted included two counts of soliciting bribes; two counts of wire fraud; three counts of money laundering; two counts of conspiracy to solicit bribes and commit wire fraud; one count of violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act; and one count of conducting and participating in a racketeering enterprise — commonly known as RICO. Last week, U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III, who presided at Jefferson’s trial in northern Virginia, threw out seven of the 10 remaining counts and ordered Jefferson freed until the former congressman can be resentenced. The convictions Ellis tossed were those for soliciting bribes, wire fraud and money laundering. The others remain in place.

Jefferson’s lawyers had argued for the dismissal of the counts based on a 2016 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in a case involving former Virginia Gov. Robert McDonnell on similar charges. Both cases turned on the legal definition of “official acts” by a public official — and whether Jefferson or McDonnell committed any such acts in exchange for something of value.

Jefferson has served more than five years of his 13-year sentence, and it’s not clear whether he will have to serve additional time or will be set free. A sentencing hearing has been set for Dec. 1. The RICO conviction, which remains, is considered a major felony, but judges are given discretion in sentencing.

During his career, Jefferson rose from rural poverty in northeast Louisiana to win a seat in the Louisiana Senate, then a seat in Congress after losing the 1986 New Orleans mayor’s race. For more than a decade, he was the most influential politician in New Orleans. His political organization, the Progressive Democrats, was unequaled at getting allies of Jefferson elected to city, state and parochial offices.

2. Quote of the week “When there’s a tragedy like this, the first thing we should be thinking about is praying for the people who were injured and doing whatever we can to help them, to help law enforcement. We shouldn’t first be thinking of promoting our political agenda. I think we see too much of that, where people say, ‘Oh, OK, now you have to have gun control.’” — House Majority Whip Steve Scalise to Fox News Oct. 3.

Scalise was badly wounded by a shooter in June at a practice for a charity congressional baseball

game and returned to the Capitol just days before the interview. On Oct. 1, he was featured in a 60 Minutes profile hours before Stephen Paddock opened fire on an outdoor music festival in Las Vegas, killing 58 people.

3. Geaux geaux geaux With the relaunch of its free online rideshare service — once called GreenRide Connect, now called GeauxRide NOLA — the New Orleans Regional Planning Commission (NORPC) hopes to turn New Orleans into a carpooling city.

NORPC public transportation planner Nik Richard says the program connects both potential carpoolers and people who need a ride with drivers who live or work nearby. It’s intended to help New Orleanians get to work, cut down on transportation and parking costs and plug the gaps in neighborhoods which are intermittently served by public transit.

Though NORPC had a long-running ridesharing program targeting employers (who sometimes can receive tax breaks for encouraging carpooling), the GeauxRide NOLA relaunch is focused on employees and job seekers. The GeauxRide NOLA service is available to people traveling to and from several areas, including Orleans, Jefferson, St. Tammany, St. Bernard, Tangipahoa, Plaquemines, St. John and St. Charles parishes. To sign up, visit www.norpc.greenride.com.

4. Public satisfaction with

NOPD down in latest survey

A new survey compiled by the New Orleans Crime Coalition finds that New Orleans residents feel safer overall but still are largely dissatisfied with the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD). Fifty-one percent of respondents to a WPA Intelligence survey conducted Sept.

5-7 are “satisfied” with the NOPD, dropping 13 percentage points from the coalition’s 2016 survey. Respondents’ feelings on violent crime influenced the drop, with satisfaction with NOPD performance handling violent crime dropping 20 points to 39 percent.

But 82 percent of respondents said they feel safe in their neighborhoods, a bump up from 78 percent last year, and more than half of respondents said they feel safe in neighborhoods other than the ones in which they live.

5.

Jindal: He’s baaaack. (Maybe) With Tom Price stepping down as President Donald Trump’s secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, national pundits have begun floating a familiar name for the job: that of former Gov. Bobby Jindal. Dan McLaughlin of the National Review wrote, “Jindal has a great depth of background in both health care policy and administration: He developed the Medicare premium-support plan that would later end up in the Ryan budget when he was a 22-year-old Congressional intern, and was running and rescuing Louisiana’s hospital system when he was 24.” (Louisianans may disagree with the latter half of that sentence.)

“Jindal had among the most detailed and realistic plans to repeal

6. STR-ing up trouble A complaint lodged by housing advocacy group Jane Place Neighborhood Sustainability Initiative (JPNSI) alleges two downtown buildings violate federal housing rules for converting its units into short-term rentals (STRs). According to the city’s short-term rental database, more than half of the units at the Maritime Building on Common Street and more than a quarter of the units in the Saratoga Building on Loyola Avenue are registered as STRs, most of which can be rented out year-round under the city’s commercial STR designation.

Both properties have mortgages backed by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). According to HUD requirements, properties that have received HUD assistance can’t use units as transient rentals or hotel units. New Orleans’ municipal shortterm rental laws, however, don’t have similar restrictions.

In a letter to HUD’s New Orleans office, associate regional counsel Bam Viloria Gressett, JPNSI requests “HUD immediately investigate these violations and issue a cease order.”

7. ‘Crime in the Crescent’

to examine public safety in New Orleans

Loyola University New Orleans will host an event titled “Crime in the Crescent: A Forum About Public Safety in New Orleans” at 7:30 p.m.

Oct. 17 at the university’s Nunemaker Auditorium in Monroe Hall.

Panelists include Jeff Asher, the journalist and crime analyst whose work appears in Gambit and on WWL-TV; Melissa Sawyer, founder of the Youth Empowerment Project; and Flozell Daniels, president of the Foundation for Louisiana. Rae Taylor, chair of Loyola’s Department of Criminology and Justice, will moderate. The panel is free and open to the public.

8. HousingNOLA says city falling short of affordable housing target

Housing affordability group HousingNOLA gave itself a C in its report card gauging its success to help New Orleans produce 3,000 af-

fordable homes by 2018 and 5,500 by 2021. The group, which encompasses several housing advocacy organizations, aimed to increase the availability of homes and apartments for working-class and lower-income families. HousingNOLA Executive Director Andreanecia Morris says that while there have been some policy successes, this year the group is “seeing the realization of the dire predictions that compelled this plan.”

“The recovery funds from Katrina are nearly exhausted and we produced approximately 500 new housing opportunities, a far cry from the 1,500 committed and the 3,330 needed,” she said in a statement with the report, released late last month. “Instead of despairing, the HousingNOLA team, staff, board and community intend to fight. We have the plan — we simply need to summon the will to execute.”

Morris also called on candidates in citywide elections Oct. 14 to establish “housing first” platforms. “This city will not support leaders who would ignore the needs of the many to indulge the whims of the few or those who would pledge to imprison, rather than house,” she said. “It is time to prioritize housing.”

9.

Welcome back, Wisner Bridge Following months of demolition and reconstruction, the Wisner Boulevard Bridge over I-610 has opened.

The city’s $19.5 million project — in association with the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, the Regional Planning Commission and Federal Highway Administration — spans 65 feet and includes a 12-foot pedestrian and bicycle path in each direction. That path is set to open in spring 2018.

The city also opened the 10-footwide concrete Marconi Path connecting Robert E. Lee Boulevard to Harrison Avenue on the east side of Marconi Drive.

10. A little comedy, a little cabaret

New York comedy-cabaret headliners Bridget Everett and Murray Hill will make their New Orleans debuts Oct. 23 at One Eyed Jacks. Everett, who’s known for her appearances on the Comedy Central series Inside Amy Schumer, has won praise for her performance in the new comedy Patti Cake$.

Meanwhile, comedian Deven Green (aka “Mrs. Betty Bowers, America’s Best Christian”) will bring her comedy-cabaret act to Cafe Istanbul for a two-night run Nov. 9-10, where she will play songs and tell jokes while playing an electric ukelele. Tickets for both events are on sale now.

and replace Obamacare, which he unveiled back in 2014,” wrote The Federalist. “If anyone could push Congress toward the policies that would have the most effect, and might actually get past a divided GOP Congress, it would be him.”

BLAKE PONTCHARTRAIN™

The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. made several visits to New Orleans during the civil rights movement.

@GambitBlake | askblake@gambitweekly.com

Hey Blake, I enjoyed your story about the ILA Hall on South Rampart Street (Aug. 22). I have a flyer promoting Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. speaking at the ILA auditorium on South Claiborne Avenue on Sept. 21, 1959. What can you tell me about his other appearances in New Orleans?

Dear Mark, The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s most important link to New Orleans is that the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the group he led as president, was formed here in 1957. Meetings to organize the group, which coordinated nonviolent protest activities across the South, were held at the New Zion Baptist Church at LaSalle and Third streets.

In 1955, King led a service at Dillard University’s newly-opened Lawless Memorial Chapel. Dillard’s president, Albert Dent, offered King the posi-

tion of chaplain, but King declined because of his work organizing a bus boycott in Montgomery, Alabama.

King returned to Dillard in 1959 to deliver the baccalaureate address.

In 1957, King spoke at the Coliseum Arena on South Claiborne Avenue. As you mentioned, in 1959 he appeared at the International Longshoremen’s Association union hall at 2700 S. Claiborne Ave. “A new baby is being born in the South, the baby of freedom and equality for all,” he told the crowd. In 1961, he was scheduled to speak at the Municipal Auditorium but the South Louisiana Citizens’ Council called on the city and the courts to cancel the appearance because it said King was a “trained agitator.” Instead, he spoke at Union Bethel AME Church at 2321 Thalia St. According to The States-Item, he addressed the venue change saying, “You may cancel a meeting, but you can’t cancel the date New Orleans and the South has with destiny.”

Any mention of King’s visits must include Dooky Chase’s Restaurant, where legendary chef and restaurateur Leah Chase and her late husband, Edgar “Dooky” Chase Jr.

served King and other civil rights leaders, who held strategy sessions in an upstairs dining room.

About 10 years after King’s 1968 assassination, the New Orleans City Council voted to rename a street in his honor. In 1977, Melpomene Street from Baronne to S. Gayoso streets was renamed Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. His name was added from St. Charles Avenue to Baronne Street in 1989. In 1976, the city unveiled a bronze monument at Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Dryades Street. Another monument featuring a bust of King was unveiled at South Claiborne Avenue and Felicity Street in 1981.

This week marks the centennial of the closing of Storyville, New Orleans’ famous red light district. The 16-square-block area, bordered by Basin, North Robertson, Iberville and St. Louis streets, was established by city ordinance in 1897. Its goal was to control prostitution by limiting it to a certain area. The ordinance’s sponsor was Alderman Sidney Story, whose name would become forever linked to the district. So-called “Blue Books” advertised the businesses of the district, including madams, prostitutes and club owners who operated there, such as Lulu White, Josie Arlington, Tom Anderson and Willie Piazza. In 1917, as the U.S. entered World War I, Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels ordered Storyville closed, calling it a “bad influence” on sailors in New Orleans.

On Oct. 9, the City Council passed an ordinance closing the district, effective Nov. 12.

AS WE ENTER THE FINAL WEEK OF THE CITYWIDE ELECTIONS, voters are

getting bombarded by messages from candidates and third-party committees.

Hopefully, that will translate into increased voter interest and higher voter turnout. It will not, I suspect, change voters’ overall perception of the mayoral field as less than inspiring.

That is not to say the would-be mayors, individually or collectively, can’t or won’t do a good job. As pollster Ron Faucheux put it several weeks ago on these pages, “Nobody hates any of these candidates, and voters don’t love one of them more than the others.” That more than anything explains voters’ political ennui.

Faucheux’s citywide poll for WWL-TV and The Advocate

showed LaToya Cantrell and Desiree Charbonnet leading the field with 27 and 26 percent of the vote, respectively, with Michael Bagneris at 19 percent. Faucheux was quick to note that polls are not crystal balls; they are snapshots in time. By Saturday’s primary, a lot could change.

Only this much is certain: One of these candidates will be New Orleans’ next mayor.

If that doesn’t get voters to focus on the race to succeed Mitch Landrieu, shame on voters.

Here’s something else on which voters should focus: Those who may harbor reservations about our next mayor — whoever he or she may be — should really pay attention to the City Council elections.

One refrain that has echoed through discussions with and forums among City Council

candidates is the current council’s trust in Landrieu.

Give Hizzoner credit for knowing how to sell his initiatives. He mostly had his way with the council, and no one is accusing him of raiding the city treasury.

That said, the Aug. 5 flood and ensuing revelations about longstanding problems at the Sewerage & Water Board (S&WB) have underscored the notion that the next coun-

cil must be far more assertive than the current body in serving as a check on the mayor’s enormous powers.

New Orleans’ City Charter unequivocally establishes a “strong mayor” form of government. It does not, however, render the council subservient or irrelevant. Quite the opposite. The council still controls the purse strings, at budget time and throughout the year. It also has the power

Pay attention to the council races

CLANCY DUBOS to reject some of the mayor’s appointments and contracts and override his or her vetoes.

At a minimum, the next council must appropriately question every administration proposal — and do so in a nonpartisan, nonpolitical manner. That’s the council’s job.

A recent survey showed that New Orleans voters rated former Mayor Marc Morial as the best among the city’s recent mayors. What that survey did not reflect is the fact that the City Council, led by then-At-Large Councilman Jim Singleton, gave Morial fits during his tenure as mayor.

Morial often groused about that at the time, but Singleton and his fellow council members said they were just doing their job.

Time has shown that an assertive council not only looked out for the interests of taxpayers, but also helped make Morial a better mayor.

Let’s hope the next council does the same for Landrieu’s successor.

WHAT’S IN STORE

BY JOE KELLY NESTLED NEXT TO WIT’S INN IN MIDCITY FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS, Doson

Noodle House (135 N. Carrollton Ave., 504-309-7283) is one of only a handful of businesses from those days left on that stretch of Carrollton Avenue.

Owner and chef Doson Ha opened the restaurant in summer 2005. A week later, the city was struck by Hurricane Katrina and the levee failures.

“The water was up to about here,” says Ha, holding his hand about 2 feet above a tabletop. He says he couldn’t reopen until the following year, but business has been steady since.

Originally from Vietnam, Ha moved to New Orleans as a young man, at one point taking courses at Delgado Community College. “I went to school for drafting,” he laughs. Once he started working at his friend’s Chinese restaurant in 1984, he discovered his true passion was cooking. After spending a couple years helping his friend open a restaurant in Ohio, Ha came back to New Orleans and opened up his own place on Oak Street in 1997. The name: “Chinese Chinese.”

“It was a Chinese restaurant,” he says, “but every now and then I would serve Vietnamese food to friends. It turns out that they really liked it.”

Soon after, Ha changed the name of the restaurant to Doson Noodle House before moving the whole operation to Carrollton Avenue.

Doson Noodle House serves a range of Vietnamese dishes, including the popular pho and a variety of bun — the classic dish of vermicelli noodles served with a choice of grilled meats or tofu and vegetables — in an unfussy, comfortable dining area. The restaurant offers brunch on weekdays and switches to a dinner menu at 4 p.m., with delivery and takeout services in the evenings.

There also are a few American Chinese standards such as sweet

and sour chicken. Ha says these dishes are left over from his old restaurant’s menu.

“The love is still there with those items, so why not?” he says.

A friendly, accommodating atmosphere is important to Ha and his staff. He says he takes pleasure in meeting his guests and shaking their hands whenever possible.

“I’m very pleased with this neighborhood,” he says. “The people come in and smile and enjoy the food. They’re all very nice.”

For Ha, it’s as simple as that.

“My point of view is that I love what I do and so do the people who come in.” He smiles. “It’s been good.”

Ha says he’s looking forward to winter, when customers come in to combat cooler temperatures with hot bowls of pho.

“That’s what’s great about pho, everyone loves it,” he says. “I definitely love a big bowl of pho in the morning.”

Blatzo Zlato

THE “GOLDEN RECORD” ABOARD NASA’S VOYAGER SPACECRAFT contained

Carl Sagan’s curated selection of images — people eating and drinking, DNA diagrams, animals and plants — plus sounds and music, from Chuck Berry to Bach to Bulgarian singer Valya Mladenova Balkanska’s “Izlel ye Delyo Haydutin.”

“This lady is the most important singer of all time in my country,” says Blato Zlato percussionist Boyanna Trayanova, who originally is from Bulgaria.

“They are so proud of that song. Everyone knows about it. Everyone knows the whole story. The Voyager happened just before I was born. My whole entire life, it was the most iconic song of all time. … It’s something you don’t even touch.”

The band performed the song as part of Biliana and Marina Grozdanova’s documentary series Golden Tracks for El Jinete Films, which follows the stories behind 27 songs included on the Golden Record. The filmmakers showed Balkanska a video of the band’s performance — she gave them a thumbs up.

“It’s like if Louis Armstrong told you ‘Hey, you’re pretty good at that trumpet,’” Trayanova says.

In December, the band — also featuring accordionist and vocalist Lou Carrig, violinist Ian Cook, bassist Pete Olynciw and vocalists Annalisa Kelly and Ruby Ross — orchestrates “The Discovery of Voyager,” a multimedia performance to celebrate the Golden Record’s 40th anniversary, with Helen Gillet, Rebecca Crenshaw, Carl LeBlanc, Seguenon Kone and Binky Griptite (of Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings). At Music Box Village, the band will transform into an alien orchestra performing its interpretation of the music on the record.

The performance accompanies the release of Blato Zlato’s Voyage, featuring its rendition of the song along with an original, “Doncho I Stenata.”

Voyage follows the band’s 2017 debut Swamp Gold (Blato Zlato, in English), weaving actual bayou sounds into joyous, meditative rhythms and melodies colliding with dense three-part harmonies.

“The source of what’s happening vocally is the polyphonic traditions coming from the Balkans, primarily Bulgaria, and the village-style singing, where there is a lot of dissonance, there is a lot of tension and release. You don’t really get that in Western harmony,” Carrig says. “We’ve been going a little further out there and pushing the limits. … How can I bring in just enough dissonance to give you this visceral experience but not make it sound bad, and then release it, so when that tension releases, it’s much more euphoric.” — ALEX WOODWARD

the Psychedelic Roses

TASCHE DE LA ROCHA EARNED A LIVING AND BUILT A REPUTATION ON FRENCHMEN STREET, finding rhythms and celebratory sadness in her

cloudy, Pacific Northwestern-inspired blues. “You have to go through the struggle first before you find the gold at the end of the rainbow,” she says.

Her full-band arrangements on 2017’s Gold Rose wring out ethereal, plaintive blues and shuffling, rough-hewn doo-wop and R&B, all tied together by the singer-songwriter’s unmistakable voice — a barbed, wiry howl she says is “just what came out” when she started singing.

“People would relate me to Billie Holiday and Bessie Smith before I really knew who they were, which is bizarre and surreal,” she says. “It took a lot of work to make it what it is now. When I started singing, I had no control over my voice. I was whispering into the microphone. … The voice is such a crazy instrument. There are parts of your voice you don’t know exist until you’re lucky enough to figure it out or someone can nudge you in a direction you can expand more and more. …. You didn’t think singing with your cheekbones could be a thing.”

De la Rocha’s voice is supported by silvery, ghostly three-piece harmonies, which “creates a lot of dimension” and “immediately makes everything spookier,” she says. Her recent work is inspired by drone music, Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged, Mazzy Star, and Joe Meek’s reverb-soaked pop, filtered through her ear for R&B and soul. “It’s all going to sound like itself — I don’t think it can all fall into a genre,” she says.

She also sees her work as something that addresses sexism and is inherently feminist, in part “to prove something to the world as a female — and a person coming from where I’m coming from, it’s common to be doubted — and as a female solo artist,” she says.

“A lot of it comes from wanting really badly to share and show you can create something polished if you work hard enough and regardless of your background or sex or whatever,” she says. “There’s also a lot of really talented women musicians out there and I’d like to be among them.” — ALEX WOODWARD

Boyish Charm RYAN ROWLEY ADMITS HE’S A DAVID LYNCH FANBOY. “I like that his movies will sometimes wrap around me in the most uncomfortable way each time I watch them. I’ll sink into the couch and get stuck,” he says. “It’s terrifying in a good way.”

That’s also a fitting description for Rowley’s Boyish Charm, his vessel for dark, brooding pop songs, and his soft-focus, jewel-toned performances.

“I want it to be sexy and seductive,” he says. “Kind of whiny and bitchy, but at the same time I want it emotional, seductive, lovey-dovey without being smooth.

More harsh-seductive.”

Rowley grew up in Baton Rouge and studied music business at Loyola University New Orleans before transferring to LSU for advertising, inspired by fashion and art outside music while focusing on his sound and voice — floating around lean guitar lines, rich reverb and plush post-punk atmosphere. “I wanted to create catchy Cure-ish music,” he says. “Catchy, accessible, but also creative and not copy-paste-easy. … But not too serious, because I can’t take anything too serious.”

Rowley, who also performs with New Holland, featuring Boyish Charm collaborator Alex Skalany, debuted Boyish Charm in 2016, though early performances were “the most raw I had probably sounded,” Rowley says. “Now I feel more comfortable. I want to create a soft, dreamy presence.” — ALEX WOODWARD

TWEET SEASON FOR THE

Warning: #FakeNews ahead.

THE 2017 NBA SEASON WILL BE PIVOTAL FOR THE NEW ORLEANS PELICANS — not only because head

coach Alvin Gentry and general manager Dell Demps are on the hot seat, and not only because last season’s surprise trade acquisition, All-Star DeMarcus Cousins, is out of contract at the end of the year.

This season is pivotal because, in a league dominated by guards (the Houston Rockets’ James Harden, the Golden State Warriors’ Steph Curry, the Boston Celtics’ Kyrie Irving) and wings (the Cleveland Cavaliers’ LeBron James, the Warriors’ Kevin Durant), the Pelicans are going against the grain and hoping their all-star front court of Cousins and Anthony Davis can carry them to the playoffs.

The early returns from last season were not spectacular. The Pelicans were just 11-14 after the trade.

But after an offseason spent working out together in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Lexington, Kentucky and New Orleans, Davis and Cousins hope to have much more chemistry on the court. In two former All-Star guards — the recently resigned Jrue Holiday and free agent Rajon Rondo — along with shooting guard Tony Allen, the Pelicans feel they have enough complimentary pieces around their dominant front court.

If the season goes well — and the Pelicans avoid injuries that have plagued them for the past two seasons — it will show the NBA that the popular small-ball style of play is not the only way to win. If things go poorly — and the feeling around the league is still skeptical — the Pelicans will have no choice but to move on from Gentry and Demps, and potentially ship a lot of familiar faces out of town. With those kind of stakes, the Pelicans will be a must-watch team this season.

Twitter has become the go-to platform for NBA coverage.

Highlight reel dunks, jokes and memes alternate alongside deep analytical analysis.

Fans eagerly wait for the latest trade rumor and hope they’re looking at their timeline the moment a trade breaks. To help you prepare for the upcoming Pelicans season, here are some definitely fake, and not real at all, tweets you can expect to see this season.

Good to be bad

Sbisa supports Cajun Airlift

THROUGH OCTOBER, French Quarter restaurant Cafe Sbisa (1011 Decatur St., 504-522-5565; www. cafesbisanola.com) is donating all proceeds after costs to Hurricane Maria recovery efforts.

The Decatur Street restaurant announced the donation in a statement last week, which said the proceeds will be donated to Cajun Airlift (www.facebook.com/cajunairlift), an organization comprised of local and out-of-state pilots who are transporting and delivering supplies to victims of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico.

Bearcat Cafe is a casual spot off Freret Street

BY H E L E N F R E U N D @helenfreund DO YOU WANT TO BE GOOD OR DO YOU WANT TO BE BAD?

That’s the question folks dining at Bearcat Cafe should be ready to ask themselves.

For the good and bad, news of the new cafe tucked off the Freret corridor on Jena Street sure traveled fast. The dining room, with its long counter bar overlooking an open kitchen, is bright and spacious, outfitted with modern accents and potted plants. Tables are adorned with mason jars of sprouting grass — which would come off as precious if they weren’t so damn cute.

In some ways, the choice to be good has already been made.

Gluten-free, paleo and vegan options abound. For drinks, there’s house-bottled chai and kombucha.

There’s brew from Equator Coffees & Teas, the San Francisco-based third-wave coffee company which supports sustainable farming practices and provides microloans to farming communities. And a few of the “Bad Cat” items have a healthyish ring to them: chicken with farro, oyster mushrooms, carrots and pan sauce, for example.

Beyond that, there’s a striking dichotomy between the dishes that fall into the menu’s “Good Cat” and “Bad Cat” zones.

A towering vegan breakfast sandwich (Good), though difficult to eat, felt downright wholesome slathered with garlicky pesto and stuffed with roasted oyster mushrooms, tomatoes and smoky Vidalia onions. The

vegan quesadilla (Good) made me reconsider tofu as acceptable breakfast fare for the first time since the late ’90s. Still traumatized by the dry and flavorless tofu scrambles of my college years, I was apprehensive at first, but the crispy herb-flecked tortilla filled with creamy tofu “eggs,” caramelized onions, avocado and a cashew queso fresco is a delight.

For the Bad breakfast options, a bowl filled with creamy stoneground grits and juicy Gulf shrimp arrived swimming in a buttery, New Orleans-style barbecue sauce. Not that it needed more carbohydrates, but the dish was topped with two giant slices of grilled bread.

The best thing I ate here fell, not surprisingly, into the Bad zone. A spicy fried chicken thigh featured a crunchy crust that gave way to delicious dark meat. The chicken is topped with bread and butter pickles and pimiento cheese on a seeded bun.

There are dishes that seem to fall somewhere between good and evil,

and are listed as “smalls.” A plate of golden-fried crab and eggplant croquettas is served with a tangy piri piri pepper sauce, and a refreshing dish of fresh ricotta includes nutty arugula and a medley of cherry tomatoes, almonds and cherries.

Neither good nor quite bad, service still appears to be a work in progress. On weekends, there is often a line out the door and getting seated — and served — can take longer than it should. It’s a small ding for an otherwise welcome addition to the Freret dining scene.

As for the food, I always want to be good when heading to Bearcat Cafe, but being bad is much more fun.

The organization was formed in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, when more than 50 pilots delivered 25,000 pounds of supplies to communities in Texas devastated by the floodwaters from the storm.

Other area nonprofits working with Cajun Airlift include The Baton Rouge Emergency Aid Coalition (www.breac225.org), Medical Disaster Response Network and others.

The donation comes at the oneyear anniversary mark for Cafe Sbisa, which reopened in October 2016. The restaurant closed in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and the federal levee failures and struggled to reopen.

“As I continue to watch what the victims of Hurricane Maria are going through, I’m immediately brought back to the days and weeks following (Hurricane) Katrina,” said executive chef and co-owner Alfred Singleton. “Our city was virtually destroyed — particularly the Lower Ninth Ward, the area I grew up in — but we were PAGE 27

Irene’s Cuisine to relocate

P H OTO B Y K A N DAC E P O W E R G R AV E S

FRENCH QUARTER RESTAURANT

In 2015, NOLA.com reported that the Louisiana State Museum, which owns the building the restaurant occupies, would possibly force its tenant out after its 15-year lease expires in February 2018.

Owner Irene DiPietro opened the Creole-Italian restaurant in 1993 with Tommy Andrade, who went on to open Tommy’s Cuisine in the Warehouse District in 2003.

— HELEN FREUND

Irene’s Cuisine (539 St. Philip St., 504-529-8811) will move to a new home early next year, the restaurant announced this week.

The Creole-Italian eatery will move seven blocks from its longtime home on St. Philip Street.

The restaurant’s new home, at 529 Bienville St., likely will open “in early 2018,” according to a post on the restaurant’s Facebook page.

(www.reginellis.com) will serve brunch on Saturdays and Sundays at some locations beginning Oct. 14.

The Italian-inspired brunch menu includes breakfast pizzas, fritattas baked in skillets and a ciabatta toast, similar to French toast, served with fruit. The Eggin’ Megan sandwich combines scrambled eggs, ham, prosciutto, tomatoes and mozzarella on ciabatta bread.

Bottomless bloody marys and mimosas are available.

Darryl Reginelli opened the first Reginelli’s pizza restaurant in Uptown in 1996. Most of the restaurants’ 10 locations are in the New Orleans area, and there is one in Baton Rouge and one in Houston.

— WILL COVIELLO

CHILE’S CENTRAL VALLEY is one of the largest wine

regions in South America, though the wine industry is concentrated in 150 miles of its much larger expanse. The area includes the renowned grape growing appellations of Maipo Valley (near the capitol, Santiago), Colchagua Valley and Maule Valley, among others. This is red wine country, with large tracts devoted to cabernet sauvignon, merlot, syrah and Chile’s iconic grape, transplanted from France’s Bordeaux region, carmenere. This Los Morros wine is 100 percent merlot. The hills at the foot of the Andes mountains provide excellent drainage and good sunlight for the vines. Winemaker Miguel Besoain honed his style by working in vineyards across France and elsewhere in Europe and takes a playful approach without straying from the typicity of the varietals in his wines.

Typical of merlot, the wine has flavors of black plum, raspberry, dark cherry, spice and smooth tannins. Aerate 15 minutes before serving. Drink it with baked herbed chicken, duck confit and grilled and roasted meats. Buy it at: Pearl Wine Co. and Grande Krewe Fine Wine & Spirits. Drink it at: Nacho Mama’s.

fortunate enough to have other caring communities to lean on and that helped us get back on our feet.

Now it’s my turn to help others and this is the best way I know how.”

Singleton, who worked at the restaurant prior to Katrina, reopened the restaurant with coowner Craig Napoli last year.

“The generosity of Cafe Sbisa comes at a crucial time where people, everyday essentials and most importantly, medical supplies and personnel, need to be transported to Puerto Rico and even more importantly, within Puerto Rico,” said Chanse Watson, co-founder of Cajun Airlift. “Funding will help to cover fuel and other aircraft expenses so our pilots are able to continue donating their time and efforts to those struggling in the most devastated areas.”

Cafe Sbisa serves dinner Wednesday through Sunday and brunch on Sunday. — HELEN FREUND

EAT+DRINK 3-COURSE INTERVIEW

Nick Middleton CHEF NICK MIDDLETON STARTED RUNNING a Ca-

jun-themed pop-up outside of his Austin, Texas home last year. But Middleton grew up cooking Mexican food with his mother, and he changed course to create his Mexican-themed pop-up Grita Tacos (www.gritatacos.com), which operates in Austin and New Orleans. Middleton spoke with Gambit about Mexican food.

: How did you get into cooking Mexican food?

MIDDLETON: We’re originally from Brownsville, Texas. It’s in the south, a border town. I moved to New Orleans and went to Loyola (University) pre-(Hurricane) Katrina and when the storm hit, I ended up moving to Texas for a bit. I ended up back in Austin and started running a few pop-ups, but the dream was always to get back to New Orleans.

I’m Hispanic, so I’ve been making Mexican food with my mom forever. We didn’t really think of it as Mexican food. That was just what we ate. Everyone eats breakfast tacos everyday.

Everyone cooks barbacoa on the weekends. My father has Louisiana heritage, so we always made a lot of gumbo, and when I got back (to Texas), I started running a Cajun pop-up out of my front yard. I was homesick for New Orleans, so for art exhibits and stuff like that I’d make a huge batch of gumbo and sell it there. At nighttime, I would make this big family meal for all the volunteers and everyone that helped out. ... I’d make moles and enchiladas and tomatillo salsas, and that ended up being as popular, if not more, as the pop-up. So I figured we were onto something.

: How do you split time between Austin and New Orleans?

M: There’s a lot of driving, and it takes a really understanding partner. You kind of give up sleep.

It’s really half and half — the best of both worlds. The best thing has been (working with) brew partners. When I got back to New Orleans, I started talking to the folks over at Parleaux (Beer Lab), and I’ve done events at Courtyard (Brewery) and Wayward Owl (Brewing Co.). When I’m in Austin, I do a few events at breweries there. Our next event is at Way-

ward Owl (on Friday Oct. 13). We probably do about three events in New Orleans every month.

My signature dish is probably a mole. I’ve been making it since I was a kid. I really love changing people’s opinions of mole. There’s this notion of what mole should taste like: a lot of deep chocolate or something super sweet. The chocolate is really just there to balance out the all the chilies and the spice. It’s a complementary thing; it’s not the lead flavor. It’s there to support the other flavors, like the roasted pumpkin seeds and chilies. My mole has 17 ingredients — kind of intense for a pop-up, since it takes about six hours.

: How does Mexican food differ from Austin to New Orleans?

M: New Orleans allows me to experiment a little bit more, so it’s really a lot of fun because I can come in with wild ceviches and stuff like that. In Austin, people have a different standard for Mexican food. In New Orleans, Mexican food is underrepresented.

In New Orleans, you get a lot of standard (Mexican) dishes.

But one of the things that New Orleans is moving toward is food that has more of a street-food feel.

(As a child) we’d cross the border once a week with my parents, and that’s all you eat. You don’t go to fancy restaurants. You don’t go to middle-of-the-road restaurants. You’re eating from a guy that is at a stand making his own sauces, and has his wife and kids cooking with him. That’s the real food; that’s what’s really good and underrepresented.

I think Mexican food is moving toward more high-end dishes. ...

I hope it will help alter people’s perception of what Mexican food is. — HELEN FREUND

PREVIEW

Wadada Leo Smith

THERE IS NO OVERSTATING the grasp-matching-reach achievement • Oct. 14 that is Wadada Leo Smith’s Ten • 8 p.m. Saturday Freedom Summers. Issued in 2012 by Cuneiform Records after 34 years of • Loyola University, workshopping and woodshedding, the Louis J. Roussel Performance trumpeter and composer’s definitive collection — a finalist for the 2013 Hall, 6363 St. Charles Ave., Pulitzer Prize in Music and one of the (504) 865-2074; most ambitious and celebrated releases of the new millennium — earns the term www.newquorum.org “album” better than any before it: four decades-spanning branches, each a family of gestated suites that exceed an hour in length and an average jazz LP’s depth and breadth, the unpardonable and irreparable first half of a lifetime brought to its knees by an interpretive retrospective that took most of that life’s second half to articulate and fully realize. Smith was born in Leland, Mississippi, in 1941. He was five months younger than Emmett Till and an hour car ride away when the 14-year-old was lynched for allegedly whistling at a white woman. Utilizing free jazz and symphony, meditation and catharsis, Ten Freedom Summers tells the incomplete story of the struggle for American civil rights, an infuriating hopscotch of tragedies and victories from “Dred Scott: 1857” to “Thurgood Marshall and Brown vs. Board of Education: A Dream of Equal Education, 1954”; from “Emmett Till: Defiant, Fearless” in 1955 to “Martin Luther King, Jr.: Memphis, the Prophecy” in 1968. As a kind of demonstration of its colossal gauntlet, fans wishing to experience the entire piece in person will have to road-trip with Smith. This southern United States premiere encompasses four cities in four days: Austin, Texas, gets the first collection on Thursday; Houston, the second on Friday; Tuscaloosa, Alabama, a mixed ensemble on Sunday. New Orleans receives part three, a love-lifted microcosm of the movement that tracks backward from a celebration of 1961’s Freedom Riders and the eternal spirit of Medgar Evers to the “Little Rock Nine: A Force for Desegregation in Education, 1957,” the black students whose attendance at Arkansas’ Little Rock Central High School ratified Brown v. Board of Education from theory into practice — five of whom were born the same year as Smith. Tickets $20 (students $15). — NOAH BONAPARTE PAIS

EVENT VENUES REVIEW

Blade Runner 2049

THERE ARE ONLY TWO KINDS of • Directed by Denis Villeneuve science fiction movies: those made before Blade Runner and the ones • Starring Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford that came after. That is a measure of and Ana de Armas how high Ridley Scott’s 1982 masterpiece raised the bar for sci-fi on film.

• Wide release Though classics of the genre abound, © 2017 WARNER BROS. none equals Blade Runner for its fully realized depiction of our potentially dystopian future. For 35 years, sci-fi films of every type have been saddled with the thankless task of trying to surpass it.

The real secret to Blade Runner’s artistic success is that it’s far from limited by the trappings and traditions of sci-fi. Scott’s film is equally rooted in hard-boiled detective fiction as first imagined in the literature of Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler and other writers in the 1930s, and later brought to the screen by the film noir of the ’40s and ’50s. Blade Runner is one of those rare films in which disparate elements come together so well it almost seems a matter of serendipity — difficult, if not impossible, to repeat.

All of which makes the idea of a Blade Runner sequel sound about as smart and appealing as a 21st-century Casablanca, Part 2 (which, thankfully, no one has suggested publicly). News of director Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049 was met with substantial dread by those who obsess over the original.

But the French-Canadian Villeneuve, who created a modern sci-fi classic last year with the eight times Oscar-nominated Arrival, may have been the ideal choice for tackling the Blade Runner sequel. Villeneuve repeatedly pays tribute to Scott’s film with Blade Runner 2049 but avoids trying to replicate its elusive alchemy. The film’s stunning visuals build on those originally created for Blade Runner but support a more traditional work of science fiction. Blade Runner 2049 may be no match for the one-of-a-kind original, but that doesn’t make Villeneuve’s film any less enjoyable or remotely signify a failure or missed opportunity.

Blade Runner 2049 takes place 30 years after Scott’s film, at a time when a new version of Blade Runner’s replicants (robots largely indistinguishable from humans) have been “perfected” and integrated into society. Ryan Gosling stars as K, a police detective known as a “blade runner,” whose job is to hunt and destroy rogue replicants remaining from the previous era. A routine case leads to an unexpected discovery that may change public perception of modern-day replicants and result in social upheaval. K’s investigation leads him to seek out Deckard (Harrison Ford), the blade runner from Scott’s film who disappeared at the end of that story.

The real star of Blade Runner 2049 may be British cinematographer Roger Deakins, whose past work ranges from Sid and Nancy to Skyfall to 12 films by Joel and Ethan Coen. The film’s stark representation of an environmentally ravaged 2049 Los Angeles remains enthralling throughout a sometimes slow-moving 164-minute film.

Deakins also helps Villeneuve break new ground with the film’s depiction of artificial intelligence, implemented most strikingly in the form of K’s holographic girlfriend Joi (Ana de Armas).

Villeneuve’s low-key, minimalist approach to sci-fi as first seen in Arrival owes a specific debt to Blade Runner — especially the narration-free “director’s” and “final” cuts of that film released over the last 25 years. With Blade Runner 2049, the director completes that circle while managing to cut a worthy path of his own. — KEN KORMAN

REVIEW HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED what

Beneath the Layers

• Thru Oct. 28 calligraphic Zen art might look like if it had originated in Alabama? The • Beneath the Layers: answer might be in the work of Stephen Figurative oil paintings Strickland. Ditto abstract art. In his new Cole Pratt Gallery expo, the Jackson,

by Stephen Strickland Mississippi-born, Mobile, Alabama-based • Cole Pratt Gallery, painter once again focuses on crowds in public spaces such as beaches or con3800 Magazine St., certs, but if his earlier works were figura(504) 891-6789; tive while hinting at abstraction, his new stuff is abstract yet about human figures www.coleprattgallery.com — and the spaces between those figures.

Abstraction is a time-honored genre, but what makes these unpretentious abstract canvases different from most is their oddly intuitive aura of personal discovery, a quality more typically associated with Zen and self-taught artists. For instance, abstract art pioneer Vassily Kandinsky made pristine paintings like avant-garde symphonic compositions, but Strickland’s canvases resonate more contrapuntal, almost Caribbean, rhythms.

At first glance, Layered Memory (pictured) suggests a vaguely chaotic array of manic mark-making, as if prehistoric cave painters had memorialized their own version of a mosh pit, or maybe just a crowded dance hall somewhere in Cuba. Look closely and the marks increasingly evoke human forms, and the spaces between them suggest percussive rhythms, as if conga drums were part of the mix. Along the Beach is comprised of an array of pallid earth, sand and cadmium swatches that, while compositionally related, yield a contemplative sense of people gathered on an anonymous public expanse, yet seemingly alone with their thoughts. In Pale Memory, the forms are more ghostly if not amorphous, like specters from mythic notions of the transmigration of souls, or maybe fragments of elusive dreams. Strickland’s artist statement says: “My work shows a visual rhythm created by the patterns of crowds and brushstrokes. These regular recurrences evoke more than feelings of sight, but of time, space, movement and sound. When the painting is completed, I hear a new and unique song.” — D. ERIC BOOKHARDT

REVIEW

Urinetown

FOOD, CLOTHING AND SHELTER are the most commonly acknowl• Oct. 12-14 edged basic human needs, but what about the need to pee? The premise • 7:30 p.m. Thu.-Sat. of Urinetown, a melodramatic Broadway musical currently being • Robert E. Nims Theatre, presented by The NOLA Project and UNO Performing Arts Center, Theatre UNO, concerns a corporate-controlled social order in which 2000 Lakeshore Drive; citizens not only are charged for use www.nolaproject.com of the facilities but company police arrest those daring to indiscriminate• Tickets $30-$35 ly pee. A siren blares when Old Man Strong (Ian Hoch) discharges against PHOTO BY JOHN B. BARROIS a building, and he is dragged off to the dreaded Urinetown.

“We can’t have you peeing for free,” Officer Lockstock warns.

The disagreeable premise has been criticized, but the reality is conceivable since there are shortages of clean water in many parts of the world, as well as corporations attempting to monetize the problem. Staged in the round at University of New Orleans’ Robert E. Nims Theatre, the Gotham-like world features ragtag vagrants living among piles of refuse and scrounging for a few coins to visit Public Amenity No. 9, the cheapest of the community urinals. (Apparently, the environment was worse during the “stink years.”) Penelope Pennywise (Leslie Claverie) is a hardnosed toll collector with a coin changer hanging from her belt, and she keeps the rabble in line.

Above the din, lavatory lords, led by the vile Caldwell B. Cladwell (Alex Martinez Wallace), president of the Urine Good Company, aka UGC, enjoy a luxurious lifestyle. Cladwell is dressed like Dracula in a black velvet cape and cravat. He glamorizes waste sanitation the same way Sidney Torres IV did garbage disposal.

After graduating from an elite school, Cladwell’s innocent daughter Hope (Maggie Windler) arrives to work at UGC sending faxes and making copies. She falls for assistant custodian Bobby Strong (Keith Claverie), a revolutionary in a jumpsuit armed with a plunger and a mop who fights for urinary rights. He declares the “days of deprivation are over.”

NOLA Project’s technical expertise is in high gear for this production. UNO’s cavernous theater is transformed into a netherworld by scenic designer Eric Porter, who created multilevel staging with numerous entrances and stairways allowing actors to rush around the space. Tony French’s imaginative costumes higlighted aristocrats similar to the privileged class in The Hunger Games. Even the riffraff wear fashionably layered rags. Bill Camp’s lighting effects lend real drama and emotional impact to the scenes, and Lindsey Romig’s choreography keeps the large cast churning in constant mayhem.

Directed by A.J. Allegra, Urinetown features outstanding performances by Claverie as the hero, Wallace as the villain and Windler as the ingenue. Tony Award-winning music and lyrics by Mark Hollmann parody a variety of musicals, including The Threepenny Opera, Fiddler on the Roof and West Side Story, and Act 1’s breathtaking finale closely resembles Les Miserables, but imitation does not detract from the enjoyment of Hollman’s fine score. The cast delivers blockbuster numbers with verve and passion. Despite its title, Urinetown is the sweetest show NOLA Project has produced and is not to be missed. — MARY RICKARD

50 2017 MAYORAL CANDIDATE QUESTIONNAIRE ON

GRADE-LEVEL READING

The New Orleans Campaign for Grade-Level Reading is a coalition of partners in New Orleans who are working to increase the number of children reading on grade level by third grade is an important milestone for future success asked all candidates for mayor to answer questions on this important issue. Below are the responses by the top three candidates: Michael Bagneris, LaToya Cantrell, and Desiree Charbonnet. For more information on the campaign, please visit nolagradelevelreading.org.

WHAT IS YOUR PLAN TO ADDRESS POVERTY FOR YOUNG CHILDREN IN NEW ORLEANS? BAGNERIS: When I am elected, I will be the first Mayor to institute an Office of Family Services and Education. There is an irrevocable link between poverty and lack of education with crime and other issues that plague New Orleans. My Office of Family Services and Education will work to help families connect the dots between balancing work and economic opportunity with access to quality childcare, and educational options with local access, among other things.

There are a number of great programs around our city that deserve more funding from the state and federal level. We must leverage what is already working and take it to scale. As Mayor I plan to be a powerful voice in support of ECE funding.

CANTRELL: I will focus on increasing equity and opportunity with economic development, affordable housing, and youth and family support initiatives.

Economic opportunity: nPay-for-success program that provides revenue to invest in job creation nConnect at-risk citizens to living wage jobs / job training n Support job training programs nSupport new businesses in advanced manufacturing, digital media, renewable energy and water management nProvide capital access and resources to small businesses nEncourage the hospitality industry and large-scale employers to hire locally. I support a $15 minimum wage by working with local businesses and increasing the city worker minimum wage to $15/hour. Housing: nWork with legislature on a constitutional amendment allowing the city more flexibility/oversight over property tax policy. Use this to incentivize affordable housing. nPreserve existing rental housing: Property tax incentive to encourage existing landlords to lock in affordable rental rates. nCreate homeownership opportunities: First-time homeowner tax abatement for low and moderate income families. nBuild affordable units: Gap financing program for developers leveraging other state and federal incentives. Youth and families: nCreate an Office of Youth and Families to provide case management and connect families to services and economic / educational opportunity.

CHARBONNET: As Mayor I will address the issue of childhood poverty by emphasizing the importance of public-private partnerships to fill in the gaps of some of the most important programs, like Head Start. I will work with private entities, such as local businesses, to help find more funding to support early childhood development. Additionally, we must encourage economic development to help bolster the average family’s income in New Orleans. As I outlined in my economic development plan, I will work to address New Orleans’ problem of unemployment and underemployment. We must recruit and retain well-paying jobs that can support a family. By pursuing New Market Tax Credits, capitalizing on our city’s assets, and focusing city policies on opportunity and equity, New Orleans will see improved economic growth that puts more dollars in the pockets of New Orleans’ citizens.

WILL YOU CREATE DEDICATED MUNICIPAL FUNDING FOR HIGH-QUALITY EARLY CARE AND EDUCATION? PLEASE ELABORATE ON YOUR PLANS. BAGNERIS: I cannot make a specific commitment at this time. Other candidates may promise to raise property or sales taxes or sell bonds to fund new programs, but I believe that would put additional burdens on our families and exacerbate the problem of a too-high cost of living. But I do anticipate my Office of Family Services and Education to help relieve pressure on families by being a reliable catchall for related services. With recent budget cuts to early childhood education in the last eight years, we all need to figure out ways to combine our resources. I support the efforts of Senator Morrell and Representative Leger to expand access to the tax credit programs and provide state match to local investment. I intend to leverage that to the extent possible in the city budget. But every level of government is strapped and city government is no different. City Hall must stay focused on addressing public safety and security. I promise to be a strong partner in building support for your efforts but I cannot commit to dedicated funding at this time.

CANTRELL: The city already has dedicated funding, coming from Harrah’s grants devoted to education. As a Councilmember, I was able to identify those funds ($10M) when they were going unspent and redirected them. We definitely need additional resources for early care and education; however, I am not yet ready to commit municipal funding to that increase, if we can first work creatively on finding other means of securing that funding.

CHARBONNET: Yes, I am willing to examine the city budget to help find money to dedicate to early childhood care and education. I intend to do a full-scale performance review of all departments, offices, functions of the city, and any entity receiving tax dollars, including all public-private partnerships. Among other things, we will measure effectiveness, efficiency, accountability, and transparency. All statements of support, here and elsewhere throughout the campaign are contingent upon what that review process discovers.

WHAT IS YOUR PLAN TO ENSURE EVERY CHILD BORN IN NEW ORLEANS REACHES THIS MILESTONE OF BECOMING A PROFICIENT READER BY THIRD GRADE AND IS ON TRACK TO GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL? BAGNERIS: From kindergarten to second grade, you learn to read. From third grade on, you read to learn. In New Orleans, we must change the culture about how we view early child development. Learning begins the moment that child exits the womb. We all know that. Instilling in every parent the importance of reading is a partnership I will engage with you on as a public service campaign; enlisting our hospitals to be partners with us in educating young moms and dads about the importance of this skill even if they feel deficient is also key. Again, my parents made it clear to me I had to do whatever was necessary to STAY IN SCHOOL AND BE READY FOR SCHOOL. I worked at odd jobs to be able to afford elementary school so I get this priority and I’ll help you hold those responsible for meeting this task accountable as well as be your partner in educating young parents.

CANTRELL: Part of the Harrah’s funding I mentioned before currently goes to reducing truancy, which has a huge effect on dropout rates. I also believe that many of the services that I want to provide as part of my violence reduction strategy (through a new Office of Youth and Families and otherwise), including increasing summer job opportunities for at-risk students, providing case management for those students, and giving access to educational programs that improve decision-making, similar to the Becoming a Man program in Chicago, will help to reduce dropout rates and end the school to prison pipeline.

CHARBONNET: While the Mayor of New Orleans has no official oversight of the Orleans Parish School Board, I recognize the role equal access to a quality education provided by a highly qualified teacher plays in mitigating many of the challenges the city of New Orleans faces. City tax dollars fund the soon-to-be re unified school district tasked with providing this access to all New Orleans students. I will support any efforts to make sure that a quality education for all our children is a reality. In order to accomplish this we must invest in academic development outside of the classroom. As Mayor I intend to provide the necessary funding to existing programs, like NORD, to ensure they have the ability to reach their full potential in regards to enriching our children academically.

All candidates received a questionnaire with six questions. To see all responses, visit nolagradelevelreading.org.
