Roger Guenveur Smith opens the CAC’s season with his solo show about Rodney King. BY WILL COVIeLLO

Descendents THOUGH HE’S FROM LOS ANGELES, ROGER GUENVEUR SMITH GREW UP IN A NEIGHBORHOOD SHAPED BY NEW ORLEANS. His church was filled with

Louisiana transplants and a distinct 7th Ward Creole accent, he says. “The great migration from the gumbo famine of 1958,” Smith says with a laugh about the community’s link to Louisiana. One of the performer’s early theatrical pieces was called Inside the Creole Mafia, which he performed with Mark Broyard. Smith’s mother attended Xavier University of Louisiana, and he built his own links to the city, mostly through performances of solo shows (including Huey P. Newton at the Contemporary Arts Center) and in roles for movies including Eve’s Bayou and the current TV miniseries Queen Sugar. This week, he returns to the CAC to open its performance season with Rodney King, a solo show in which Smith explores the real life of the man whose 1991 beating at the hands of Los Angeles police officers was captured on videotape and broadcast around the world. King was viewed as everything from a victim to a hero, as well as a scapegoat for rioting and deaths when the police officers were acquitted of using excessive force on him. “rodney King was the first reality TV star,” Smith says via phone from his home in Los Angeles. “He became this image of something on the screen. To reclaim his humanity is one of the great challenges of this piece. We talk about King as a symbol of something. Of police brutality, of oppression, of resilience, or we put him in a heroic cage as well. He was a complicated man. I think like all of us, he deserves a complicated consideration.” Smith developed his piece from an improvisation at Los Angeles’

FRI. SEPT. 14 | The still-standing California punk band returns for its first album in more than a decade with 2016’s Hypercaffium Spazzinate and 2017 anti-fascist protest song “Who We Are.” A Wilhelm Scream and New Orleans punk band peArS open at 8 p.m. at The Joy Theater.

The Music Man

Bootleg Theater during the summer following King’s death in 2012. “There were very few people who actually embraced him beyond his symbolic status when he passed,” Smith says. “I was moved. I felt like I lost someone who was close to me, and I wanted to know why.” Smith won a New York Dance and performance Award (Bessie) for the show in 2015 and Spike Lee filmed an outdoor performance in Brooklyn in 2017 that is available on Netflix. Smith has appeared in many of Lee’s films, including Do the Right Thing, Malcolm X, Get on the Bus and Summer of Sam. King’s story has become timely again in light of police violence against black people and the Black Lives Matter movement. Several of Smith’s projects remain timely. He is performing his solo show about Frederick Douglass on the bicentennial of the writer and abolitionist’s birth. In June, Smith did a show as a double bill with the Branford Marsalis Quartet in New York. Marsalis performed the national anthem on saxophone and the quartet did a version of

KEEP THE PARTY GOING — OUTSIDE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS Bounce music and colored lights blasting from converted school buses and tricked-out limousine buses are common sights and sounds of New Orleans’ nightlife landscape. A new ordinance from New Orleans District e Councilwoman Cyndi Nguyen aims to rein them in by prohibiting them from entering all residentially zoned areas, limiting them to larger thoroughfares in the hope of keeping them out of neighborhoods. The ordinance puts party buses under the “charter party carriers” designation as defined by the Department of Safety and permits. The ordinance reiterates that party buses must comply with that department’s rules, which defines “charter party carriers” as a “motor vehicle specifically configured to accommodate a party on the motor vehicle itself,” with amenities including TVs, karaoke equipment, smoke machines, “disco lights, strobe lights or dance poles.” Nguyen mentioned working on legislation dealing with buses at a recent meeting at the New Orleans east Library. She told Gambit that her office has received numerous calls about buses rolling through neighborhoods late at night with loud music. “I’ve been dealing with the issue for over a month now,” she told Gambit after last week’s City Council meeting. “We’re a team where we do our due diligence. It’s not been one incident. It’s been many occasions.” Nguyen introduced the ordinance at the City Council’s Sept. 6 meeting. It now heads to the City Council’s Transportation and Airport Committee, which next meets on Sept. 26.

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to reject workplace protections for transgender people. What do you think?

State Police faces lawsuit over hoax antifa list Col. Kevin Reeves of the Louisiana State police (LSp) wrote in an August letter to the editor that The Advocate “makes a difficult job all the more difficult” with its coverage of a trooper “side trip” to Las Vegas in 2016, which led to the ouster of the LSp’s then-chief Mike edmonson. reeves criticized the paper for saying the agency has a “damaged reputation” — even though reeves testified in July that “the faith and confidence” of the agency “has been eroded” because of the Vegas controversy.

A lawsuit aimed at the Louisiana State police (LSp) argues that the agency has circulated a hoax list of “antifa” members, a document the lawsuit alleges came from far-right website 8Chan and neo-Nazi website Stormfront. Filed in 19th Judicial District Court last month, the lawsuit from New Orleans attorney William Most and Harvard University’s Thomas Frampton follows Most’s public records request of LSp emails, which turned up a document titled “full list of antifa.docx,” reportedly containing thousands of peoples’ names who signed petitions against president Donald Trump. LSp has refused to share its contents, claiming it would jeopardize an ongoing investigation and reveal the name of an informant. According to the lawsuit, the first LSp email with the document appeared three days after a hoax antifa membership document was posted to far-right and racist websites. The document appeared in Most’s public records request for LSp emails containing far-right catchphrases “white genocide,” “race traitor,” “love your face” and “we pAGe 9

Scooter rentals get closer New Orleans is a step closer to setting up an infrastructure for app-based electric scooter rentals, a phenomenon that is spreading quickly to U.S. cities. On Sept. 6, the New Orleans City Council passed the first of three planned ordinances around the scooters, limiting their parking to bike racks or other not-yet-defined parking areas, which could change whether the scooters go dockless. The ordinance prohibits scooters from parking in the middle of sidewalks or against buildings or in other rights of way. That “dockless” pitch aims to close the gap for the “first” and “last mile” commute, linking people from their car or bus to the front door of their workplace or home. But companies have argued that taking away that “dockless” model would make that “first” and “last mile” commute no different than taking other transportation that depends on a bike rack or other parking; “dockless” scooters bring riders to their immediate destination. The ordinance also adds bikes to the same rules and mandates that they be locked up at bike racks, against sign poles or in other bike parking areas. Under the ordinance from District C Councilwoman Kristin Gisleson palmer, the Department of Safety and permits can confiscate improperly parked scooters and bikes. palmer plans to introduce another ordinance that will outline a pilot program (including fees, fines and regulations) for scooter operation, and another that requires the companies to register each scooter. Three scooter companies — Lime, Bird and Skip — are eyeing entry into New Orleans. Lime says it has partnered with 100 businesses in New Orleans to allow riders to park in or near the store, and it has started staffing a warehouse where it will stash scooters after their dawn-todusk operation.

Entergy astroturﬁng report now due Oct. 19 The team investigating entergy New Orleans’ (eNO’s) paid actor scandal now has until mid-October to submit its findings to the New Orleans City Council. The investigation — headed by former federal prosecutor Matt Coman and retired Criminal District Court Judge Calvin Johnson and attorneys from Sher, Garner Cahill, richter, Klein & Hilbert — received a deadline extension from the City Council Sept. 6. A report initially was due this month. It’s now due Oct. 19. The council launched its investiga-

tion of the utility following a May report from investigative news website The Lens, which revealed that eNO had hired a pr firm to enlist paid “grassroots support” for a proposed new gas-fired power plant in New Orleans east. The investigation team recently received additional documents from entergy, prompting a request for the deadline extension. Former eNO CeO Charles rice — who was revealed in emails to have known about the campaign, despite the company’s earlier statements putting the blame on the pr firm — stepped down last month to take a lesser role in the company. He was replaced on an interim basis by rod West, rice’s predecessor at eNO.

Crime cameras in Gentilly The New Orleans City Council approved the transfer of $100,000 to the New Orleans Office of Homeland Security on Sept. 6 to install surveillance cameras in Gentilly, adding to the city’s network of cameras feeding into its real-Time Crime Monitoring Center. The move comes at the request of Mayor LaToya Cantrell and supports the Gentilly Development District’s “crime camera program.” The Gentilly program joins a citywide surveillance network beefed up during former Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s administration as part of Landrieu’s sweeping anti-crime plan. Landrieu’s plan added dozens of cameras to “hot spots” and proposed linking cameras outside bars to the real-time feed (that proposal was nixed). Meanwhile, anti-surveillance organizers unveiled a crowdsourced map of crime cameras on www.stopwatchingnola.org, which the group hopes will shed light on what it sees as the overpolicing of black communities under the eye of local, state and federal law enforcement via the real-time monitoring center.

COMMENTARY

Don’t reward bad drivers NEW ORLEANS MAYOR LATOYA CANTRELL has enough on her plate

1818 Veterans Blvd, Metairie, LA | 504.888.2300 | nordickitchens.com

with ongoing Sewerage & Water Board issues, the height of hurricane season, crime, police manpower shortages, street repairs and a deadline looming to submit her first budget to the City Council. She doesn’t need to pile another challenge on top of what already is a daunting heap of problems to be solved. For those and other reasons, the mayor should back off her campaign promise to eliminate traffic cameras in New Orleans. The promise, made when Cantrell formally announced her candidacy for mayor in July 2017, was a bad idea from the get-go. It came off as a hastily conceived notion designed to grab cheap political headlines at the start of a campaign, not to kick off a series of carefully crafted, long-term policy initiatives. In fact, within 24 hours of promising to suspend the use of all traffic cameras, Cantrell walked back her pledge — saying she would take down only those set up during the preceding year — then reversed herself yet again to affirm her original promise to take down all the cameras. “We don’t know if traffic cameras are making our streets safer,” Cantrell said in her announcement speech. Actually, we do know. A city-sponsored study of New Orleans’ traffic cameras and traffic safety — completed the same month as Cantrell’s announcement speech — showed most intersections with cameras had significantly fewer accidents over a 10-year span than intersections without cameras. The results of the study

The prudent course for Cantrell is obvious: Keep the cameras and use the revenue they produce to fund public safety initiatives. were reported by The Lens on Aug. 25, 2017. Citing the study, the online news site noted that “59 camera sites had 21 percent fewer crashes than would have been expected without them.” In addition to making our streets safer to navigate, the cameras have a significant fiscal impact. They generate approximately $25 million a year for vital city services. Now that budget season is approaching and the reality of possibly having to make up that $25 million looms large, Cantrell once again

A DVO C AT e S TA F F p H OTO B Y M AT T H e W H I N TO N

appears to be hedging her campaign promise. She’s now floating the idea of keeping cameras in school zones only and using them only when lower speed limits are enforced. Bad idea. The move would cost the city millions of dollars needed for critical services and would make city streets less safe. The prudent course for Cantrell is obvious: Keep the cameras and use the revenue they produce to fund public safety initiatives. Strangely, the mayor seems reluctant to make that call. At an Aug. 31 City Council committee hearing, Cantrell’s chief financial officer, Norman White, told council members the administration was still studying the matter and crunching the numbers. There’s nothing to crunch here. The notion of cutting $25 million out of the city budget may appeal to some, but even if that much could be sensibly trimmed (which we doubt), there’s no justification for letting traffic scofflaws be the only ones to benefit financially from the cuts. Far better to make speeders continue paying for their habits — and use that money to make New Orleans’ streets safer for everyone else.

Cantrell’s readiness will be challenged NOTHING TESTS A NEW ORLEANS MAYOR’S METTLE

like a hurricane. Although Tropical Storm Gordon bypassed the city completely — it hit our neighbors to the east instead and produced little rainfall locally — the runup to the storm’s eventual landfall gave us an early look at how LaToya Cantrell handles herself in the face of a storm. She did well. Longtime observers of Cantrell should not be surprised. She burst onto the political scene as a result of Hurricane Katrina and the levee failures. In that storm’s messy aftermath, when planners brought in by then-Mayor ray Nagin suggested “green-dotting” Broadmoor and other low-lying neighborhoods (i.e., recommending A DVO C AT e they not be redeveloped post-Katrina) Cantrell pushed back hard — and effectively — as president of the Broadmoor Improvement Association. Though she wasn’t known much beyond her own neighborhood, Cantrell parlayed her Katrina chops into a New Orleans City Council seat representing District B. She won a hard-fought contest in December 2012, and that experience no doubt prepared her for an equally tough mayoral race five years later. Cantrell seems to be at her best when she’s up against it, particularly when “it” is a crisis. As Gordon approached, she gave citizens the right mix of caution, calm and concern. Nobody around her panicked, but nobody took things for granted either. And as soon as it became clear that New Orleans would be in the clear, she walked back her initial plan to close City Hall all day on Sept. 5. Of course, it remains to be seen how she’ll do when, and if, New Orleans takes a direct hit from a full-blown hurricane. Meanwhile, Cantrell’s readiness to govern day-to-day continues to be tested on several fronts, particularly by a City Council eager to prove its own mettle. In the wake of the August 2017 floods, voters demanded more City Hall oversight of — and accountability for — the Sewerage & Water Board (S&WB). The current council is answering that call. The mayor

S TA F F p H OTO B Y M AT T H e W H I N TO N

appointed new S&WB executive Director Ghassan Korban and officially chairs the board, but council members have made it clear they intend to use their oversight and budgetary powers to the fullest legal extent. Speaking of the budget, on Sept. 6 the Council took the extraordinary step of signaling — without Cantrell’s prior approval — its intent to propose a property tax proposition for senior services. The proposal calls for only 2 mills, but the council’s unanimous vote sent yet another signal that it doesn’t intend to take its cues from the mayor (as past councils have done) on budgeting and taxing matters. Things could get testy when the council starts picking apart Cantrell’s first budget in November. Another potential source of friction is the ultimate disposition of the city’s traffic cameras. Cantrell promised to scrap them all when she announced her candidacy for mayor (see, “Commentary,” p. 10), but doing so would cost the city $25 million a year in revenue. Council members have posed some pointed questions to Cantrell’s staff, and so far the administration has failed to give definitive answers. While Cantrell seems comfortable, even confident, in the face of literal storms, it will be interesting to see how readily she handles the inevitable political dust-ups.

Hey Blake,

I can think of at least three New Orleans mayors in recent history with nicknames: Chep Morrison, Dutch Morial and Moon Landrieu. What’s the story behind those names?

Dear reader,

ashrosary.org

DeLesseps Story “Chep” Morrison, who served as mayor from 1946 to 1961, was born in New roads in 1912. He was named after an uncle, deLesseps Story, who also had the nickname “Chep.” Story raised the future mayor’s mother, Anita Olivier, whose parents died when she was a child. “My grandmother always spoke very lovingly about her uncle Chep, who was quite prominent as well,” Corinne Morrison, daughter of Mayor Morrison, said in an interview with Gambit in August. In his book DeLesseps S. Morrison and the Image of Reform, Morrison biographer edward F. Haas wrote, “The Morrison family simply liked nicknames.” The name deLesseps is a tribute to a distant family relative: Count Ferdinand de Lesseps, a French diplomat best known as the developer of the Suez Canal.

The city’s first African-American mayor, ernest Nathan Morial, was born in New Orleans in 1929. He was the youngest of Walter and Leonie Morial’s six children. According to Mayor Morial’s December 1989 obituary, when ernest was a child, an older brother was using a can of Dutch Boy while painting at home. When his father saw the picture of the Dutch boy on the can, he noticed a resemblance to his youngest son and started calling ernest “Dutch.” The name stuck. ernest was elected mayor in 1977. In 1981 he legally changed his first name to Dutch. As a child, Maurice edwin Landrieu, born in New Orleans in 1930, was known by the nickname “ricie.” In December 1969, after he was elected mayor, his mother Loretta sorted things out for States-Item columnist Tommy Griffin. “He got the name ‘Moon’ from his older brother Joseph, who sort of bequeathed it to him when they were children. The kids used to play ball in the street in front of the grocery store we operated at 1814 Adams St. Joseph had a big face so the boys called him ‘Moon.’” She explained that when Joseph got older, he tired of the name and gave it to his brother. During his 1969 mayoral campaign, Maurice legally changed his name to Moon.

BLAKEVIeW THIS WEEK MARKS THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY of the so-called “September

to remember” or “Battle of New Orleans,” the heavyweight championship fight between Muhammad Ali and Leon Spinks in the Superdome. In a stunning upset earlier in the year, Spinks defeated Ali, so the New Orleans fight was billed as a must-see rematch. “This is bigger than four Super Bowls. This is bigger than the World Series, Indianapolis 500. Ain’t nothing as big as me!” Ali said to a crowd on Canal Street about a month before the fight. The Sept. 15, 1978 bout drew a crowd of 65,370 to the Superdome, which had opened three years earlier. At the time, it was the largest audience in boxing history. The all-star crowd included former boxing champ Joe Frazier (who performed the national anthem), Sylvester Stallone, Jerry Lewis, John Travolta and Liza Minnelli. With a victory over Spinks, Ali became the first three-time heavyweight champion. The fight would be the final victory of Ali’s career. He died in 2016.

F NOTHING ELSE, THE TRICENTENNIAL CELEBRATIONS THIS YEAR HAVE GIVEN NEW ORLEANS PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES TO LOOK AT ITSELF. Conceptually ambitious exhibitions at the New Orleans Museum of Art and the Newcomb Art Museum at Tulane have marked the occasion by exploring alternative New Orleans histories that aren’t always included in the “official” narrative. But the Louisiana State Museum at the Cabildo has taken a safer route. We Love You, New Orleans includes more than a hundred objects — mostly from Louisiana State Museum collections, with a few objects on loan from elsewhere — ranging from glittery Mardi Gras memorabilia to vintage jazz instruments to French Quarter nightclub posters. Like the extraordinary Empire exhibit at Newcomb (which has been extended through December), it feels like a peek into the collective storage attic of the city. Unlike the Newcomb show, however, We Love You, New Orleans doesn’t seek to present these objects in a new context. For better or worse, it’s a show that doesn’t interrogate or reconfigure the stories New Orleans tells about itself. Instead, it unequivocally celebrates them. In fact, if there were an “official” New Orleans historical narrative, it’d probably look a lot like We Love You, New Orleans. (The title is from a late 1960s color

Which isn’t to say that there aren’t a lot of wonderful things on display here. You’d have to be awfully cynical — or born far beyond the borders of Orleans parish — not to feel the nostalgic pulse of a vintage K&B sign.

Nearby, a giddy poster heralds the opening of the season at pontchartrain Beach in 1939 — while almost directly opposite, the label that accompanies a blurry wall-sized enlargement of a group photo at the nearby Lincoln Beach describes it as a place that “provided African-Americans, who were denied entry at pontchartrain Beach, with a place to swim.” And that’s about as much as the show mentions regarding New Orleans’ complicated

A stunning tricentennial-themed ensemble by the New Orleans Black Mardi Gras Indian Co-op and New Corps Inc., installed in the entrance vestibule of the Cabildo, makes a powerful statement through its details, which show a group of protesters holding a sign that says “No More Jim Crow.” But because it is isolated from the rest of the exhibition, it feels pointedly disengaged from the bigger story.

Well, here it is, resting serenely across from a cheesecake photo of burlesque performer Lilly Christine, better known as the “Cat Lady”: two legendary Bourbon Street artists reunited at last. Despite moments like these, however, the show feels like a missed opportunity. It’s probably no surprise that an exhibition space that sits squarely at the epicenter of New Orleans’

historic and tourist experience would present such a broadly crowd-pleasing survey of the city’s history. But it sacrifices depth for breadth in the process. In skirting larger and more complex cultural and social issues, the show tries to focus on the commonalities of the New Orleans experience rather than the differences, which, given how fragmented the greater culture feels at this point in American history, might

not be such a bad thing. But acknowledging difficult truths is part of loving something, and in that respect the show does the full history of New Orleans a disservice. Through its purple, gold and green-tinted view of the past, We Love You, New Orleans is an entertainingly nostalgic if incomplete look at where we’ve been. Just don’t expect it to tell you much about where we’re going.

TEENS THE CONTINUAL EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY MAKES IT EASY FOR TEENAGERS to access new information and communicate with friends and family. even though having the world at their fingertips offers knowledge and connects teens to people with similar interests, teenagers who spend an excessive amount of time surfing the web and perusing social media sites put themselves at risk for depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and privacy invasions. Sensitive information meant for a select audience can rapidly spread to the masses, and it’s nearly impossible to remove it from cyberspace. Unfortunately, there is only so much even the most proactive parent can do. private accounts prevent parents from knowing with whom their kids are hanging around and what they’re discussing. The popularity of one social network quickly shifts to another, leaving not-so-tech-savvy parents stumped. Another problem is that teens don’t have to abide by house rules if they’re using social media and the internet away from home. That’s why local schools are enforcing technology policies and making students and parents aware of them. Administrators know smartphones and online activities distract teenagers from their studies, but they also believe adolescents and young adults are especially vulnerable to the web content they encounter. Mary Simon, department chair of Counseling & Student Services at Benjamin Franklin High School, discusses her school’s efforts to address this problem. “Teenagers can be highly impulsive and say and do rash things in the moment,” she says. “Now with social media, a bad impulsive decision can be captured, shared and go viral online. Situations such as these can be traumatizing for young adults.” She describes what the Lakefront high school is doing to manage the issue and offers advice to parents. But first, some facts about how social media can harm teenagers’ mental health.

AND

TECH

By Suzanne Pfefferle Tafur

HOW TECHNOLOGY USE AFFECTS TEENS’ MENTAL HEALTH AND HOW SCHOOLS ARE TRYING TO HELP LAST YEAR, UNITED KINGDOM’S royal Society for public Health published the #StatusOfMind survey, which was featured by Time magazine and other U.S. news agencies. The study found 91 percent of 16- to 24-yearolds use the internet for social networking; the rates of anxiety and depression among that age group have increased by 70 percent in the past 25 years; and social media has been described as more addictive than cigarettes and alcohol. Since adolescents and young adults can sift through an endless stream of pictures documenting the seemingly perfect lives of their peers, they may perceive their own lives as boring by comparison or feel excluded from the action. These thoughts can cause low self-esteem. Girls in particular may suffer from poor body image by comparing themselves to photos of other women — even if those photos have been edited and enhanced with an artsy filter. According to #StatusOfMind, around 70 percent of 18to 24-year-old girls would consider undergoing cosmetic surgery to improve the photos of themselves posted online. The same survey notes that seven in 10 young people have experienced cyberbullying at some point. A clinical report from the American Academy of pediatrics (AAp) states that cyberbullying “can cause profound psychosocial outcomes including depression, anxiety, severe isolation and, tragically, suicide.” Also, social media sites display advertisements, including banner ads, based on a teen’s web browsing behavior or demographics. As the AAp points out, those ads influence not only the buying tendencies of teens, but also their views of what is normal. Clothing ads and other media featuring super-skinny models, for instance, convey the message that a thin body is best.

SOCIAL MEDIA DISLIKES

MANY LOCAL SCHOOLS HAVE DEVELOPED technology policies for their academic community. Simon says Ben Franklin’s policies are stated in the school’s handbook and are revised from year to year as technology evolves. The information also is sent home to students and families in a backto-school mailer prior to the start of school. “The issue of technology is always a hotly debated one,” she says, adding that administrators want to help students use technology to learn and better educate themselves, while being safe and wise about its use — and misuse. Students are allowed to have cellphones, tablets and laptops on campus, but Ben Franklin’s faculty tries to make sure the devices are used only for educational purposes, rather than social media interactions. “We of course do not want to deter our students’ ability to access important data and information online, so we have moved toward using laptops throughout the day in our classrooms,” she says. Students can use their cellphones only before and after school. “This is something that we as a school take very seriously,” Simon says. “We had been more lax with our cellphone use policy in previous years and found that it was causing quite a distraction throughout the

SCHOOLS STEP IN

PARENTS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT Blendr is an app that allows adults within a certain area to chat and flirt with one another and post pictures. Although the app states that members must be at least 18 years old, teenagers still use it.

The Smart Hide Calculator app enables teens to hide pictures and files under what looks like a typical calculator app and requires a passcode for access. Smart Hide and similar apps allow kids to create a hidden photo vault, and these apps will even snap a photo or sound an alarm if someone tries to access it without the right passcode.

With Live.me, an app intended for adult use, teens can broadcast live videos that are accessible to anyone. They also can share their location and discover which users live nearby. Live feed apps such as Live.me pose multiple threats. Oversharing is common, creating privacy issues, and live feed video is hard to moderate. Kids can be exposed to all types of inappropriate content. According to Common Sense Media, a website that reviews technology to help parents make informed decisions, some teens have used these apps to stream video of themselves committing crimes and even suicides.

Yubo enables teens to chat and follow other members through Instagram and Snapchat. They can create a profile by posting photos, videos and links to their Instagram and Snapchat pages. The app states users must be at least 13 years old, but doesn’t verify users’ ages. Common Sense Media reports that after an outcry over Yubo’s lack of privacy protections, the developers created a teen-focused guide for using the app safely, but the guide is only available in pDF format through the platform’s website, not the app itself.

school day. It also had many other undesirable effects.” She believes social media has changed the way kids (and people in general) connect with one another. Face to face communication no longer is the norm. “We want students to interact with each other more, to converse and to debate,” Simon says. The school’s technology policy (and those of many area schools) seeks to moderate the way students interact electronically by putting rules in place to govern their conduct. Negative behaviors — such as sending or receiving discriminatory or abusive messages, sharing personal information about themselves or other students and cyberbullying of students, staff or faculty at any school — are explicitly prohibited. repercussions include everything from a parent-teacher conference and behavior intervention to inschool suspension, which the school’s

handbook states is reported to most colleges and universities during the admissions process. The handbook also warns students to communicate with caution. On an open network, privacy isn’t guaranteed and the identity of the person with whom a student is conversing cannot be verified. The handbook warns students to “think carefully about what you say and how you say it.” There’s also a network etiquette policy for students to follow. parents may lay down their own set of rules by allowing kids to use electronics only during certain times of the day, for example. They also can restrict access to certain websites and learn about their child’s online social circle. “As much as the teen may not want to listen to [his or her] parents, it is important to have an open dialogue about social media, its uses and some of the dangers,” Simon says.

WHEN THE CARIBBEAN ROOM was re-

opened by the Besh restaurant Group in the pontchartrain Hotel in 2016, the resurrected stalwart exuded elegance and straight-laced appeal. It shuttered this spring and was replaced by Jack rose, which also takes an extravagant approach, but one with a light-hearted spirit and colorful ambience. Whether you sip Champagne on the rose-lined terrace, sit in one of the plush armchairs that fill the granny-hip Living room or dine in one of the boldly decorated dining areas, a night out at Jack rose can feel like sensory overload in the best way. The restaurant is from the QeD Hospitality group, led by former Besh restaurant Group employees chef Brian Landry (also formerly of Borgne) and emery Whalen. Under executive chef David Whitmore, the kitchen crafts dishes that are playful and creative yet polished and refined. The restaurant’s colorful design and fun menu facilitate a relaxed attitude. Swift, professional and attentive service carries fine-dining appeal but isn’t stuffy. The expansive menu seems inspired by France with dishes such as escargot served atop hand-torn pasta and a classic steak tartare, as well as ties to southern Italy —fried chicken parmesan served with tomato sauce feels like the quintessential Sicilian-Creole hybrid. There is a throwback to Uglesich’s restaurant’s signature trout Muddy Waters, envisioned here with royal red shrimp and squid ink campanelle in a buttery and spicy sauce. The list of starters includes delicate parmesan-crusted fried squash blossoms filled with oozing raclette

cheese and sweet tomato jam. They are served atop basil aioli with a jumble of pickled and fresh vegetables, and the result is a multidimensional dish with bright acidity and crunch. Large platters of kale Caesar salad are prepared tableside with cauliflower florets, golden croutons and shaved parmesan. The salad is big enough for two to share. One of the most successful dishes is a blue crab bisque with a creamy coconut base, bits of charred corn and unexpected spicy heat. The height of extravagance isn’t the Champagne, the over-the-top decor or even the heldover Mile High pie. It’s an enormous lamb shank served on the bone with fresh mint gremolata. When delivering the mass of meat to our table, our server cracked a fitting joke about Fred Flintstone. The lamb is slow-cooked and then flash-fried to create a crispy shell that gives way to fork-tender meat. The dish is served with creamy risotto studded with peas and a demi-glace-like lamb jus.

Liz Williams

Director, Southern Food & Beverage Museum THE SOUTHERN FOOD & BEVERAGE MUSEUM (1609 Oretha Castle

Haley Blvd., 504-267-7490; www.natfab.org) marked its 10th anniversary this summer. To celebrate, the museum is throwing a party Oct. 19 which will highlight the new Gumbo Garden and outdoor area behind the building. Director Liz Williams spoke with Gambit about the museum and Southern food.

What are some of the most memorable moments in the museum’s history? WILLIAMS: We’re very excited about being 10 and having made it this far. We were such a new idea, we were sort of inventing ourselves as we went along. In the beginning, having this very close partnership with the Museum of the American Cocktail was really important and something that was very much not part of our original plan. Being able to be together was a great thing. Another thing that was really important for us was that when we opened, we received a lot of publicity. people from all over the country started to write to us. (They said) they had artifacts from their part of the country that reflected the food culture wherever they might be and that they had tried to give away certain artifacts to museums, (but) no one wanted their artifacts and would we take them? They felt these things should be saved, but there was nobody who was interested. They were excited to know we were interested. That made us understand this was something that had a national interest and wasn’t just Southern or Louisiana or New Orleans. That eventually motivated us to become the National Food & Beverage Foundation.

We have people inquiring about opening food and drink museums all over the country.

How has Southern food culture evolved in the past decade? W: I think one of the American trends is that people eat out more. even though in the South people cook more and eat at home more than people do in certain other parts of the country, I believe that Southern food is reflected in restaurants today — when maybe 25 years ago it wasn’t. I think that’s interesting. You can go into a white-tablecloth restaurant and get Southern food. It’s considered worthy of that. My definition of Southern food is if you eat it in the South, it’s Southern food. That means that all of the immigrants that have come to the South over the years have changed Southern food, and people have come to recognize certain immigrants’ food as food from their area, whether they even realize what its immigrant roots are.

What do you think is the quintessential Southern food or drink? W: Iced tea has to be the quintessential drink. John T. edge (director of the Southern Foodways Alliance) calls it the house wine of the South. I would be hard pressed to pick something that is more Southern than fried chicken. That’s just it. Iced tea, fried chicken, maybe some pickled okra and potato salad and watermelon and corn bread. Wouldn’t you be happy eating that? — HeLeN FreUND

NEW ORLEANS BEGINS TO pad out its fall concert calendar this week, opening with one of the year’s biggest tickets, a double header from Beyonce and Jay Z inside the Superdome Thursday on a massive, carefully engineered tour following the celebratory bombast of their surprise June album Everything Is Love. That same night in the relatively intimate Gasa Gasa, guitarist ryley Walker is their omega, an unpredictable, comic shapeshifter whose trips through pseudo-psychedelic folk and free-form abstractions lull audiences into a different kind of catatonia. With May’s Deafman Glance, Walker slows his universe into a meditative crawl, loosely sewing together a tapestry of ambient passages that play like warped Van Morrison records, pulling at the threads of his pastoral folk compositions on albums like 2015 breakthrough Primrose Green, at home among albums from Nick Drake, John Fahey and John Martyn, and unraveling an elegant, deconstructed jazz. Deafman Glance picks up from Walker’s 2016’s Golden Sings That Have Been Sung, a sound-altering departure born out of improvised sessions and an ear toward textures from his Chicago home. “Chicago sounds like a train constantly coming towards you but never arriving,” he says on notes from Deafman Glance, the album he says broke his brain. “That’s the sound I hear, all the time, ringing in my ears.” A propulsive “Opposite Middle” bursts from the album’s three-song introduction, an atmospheric suite of chimes, flutes and piano careening alongside Walker’s instinctual, fingerpicked flights into his imagination. “Maybe I’d say it’s a record for coming up or coming down,” Walker continues. “It’s not an album for the middle of the day. It’s for the beginning or end of it.” Tickets $10. Health & Beauty opens at 9 p.m. at Gasa Gasa, 4920 Freret St., (504) 338-3567; www.gasagasa.com.

REVIEW No Dead Artists BY D. erIC BOOKHArDT

WHEN JONATHAN FERRARA was a partner at a now-defunct gallery in 1995, it launched the annual No Dead Artists exhibition. Created to spotlight the work of local emerging artists, the show survived the transition to Ferrara’s own gallery and now is international in scope. It remains as quirky as ever, and its ability to surprise always has been its most consistent attribute. The surprising thing about this year’s 22nd iteration is the unusual prevalence of figurative imagery that often evokes the identity politics that dominate our current political discourse. Fortunately, these artists approach it with more empathy and humor than our politicians, lending a fresh perspective to this deeply contentious topic. Joseph Barron’s Draining the Swamp painting updates traditional baroque imagery with quirky modern details including an elephant using its trunk to blast water at a woman in a miniskirt as familiar political figures cavort amid cupids and lambs in a scene that conveys the circuslike tenor of the times. Kat Flyn courts controversy with box sculptures including Affordable Housing, which features mammy dolls in cubicles, and Trailer Park, where rustic white folk appear amid signs promoting coal, lard and Jesus. Here culture-war animus yields to a more nuanced perspective that contrasts overworked stereotypes with broader underlying concerns. Kerra Taylor similarly spotlights familiar-looking middle Americans in a dinner scene where a tornado looms outside a window, and sitting in a boat on an expanse of floodwater where gasping fish and an engulfed plantation house (pictured) remind us of the common challenges we all face as we coexist on an ever more volatile planet. Other edgy, ambiguous works include a photo collage by Mash Buhtaydusss depicting a vintage image of a child in a derelict basement where Humpty Dumpty, porn stars and child action figures cavort amid grimy 1950s office furnishings in a kind of nihilistic time capsule, and Nigerian painter rewa Umunna’s casual portraits of sleek black women rendered in vivid patterning that recalls geological contour maps and iconic African fabrics, a visual mash-up true to a time when virtual realities and traditional values increasingly, often bafflingly, intermingle. Through Sept. 28. Jonathan Ferrara Gallery, 400A Julia St., (504) 522-5471; www.jonathanferraragallery.com.

she super smart, but she is also very relaxed for her age. This clever girl is eager to please so she is always ready to play fetch or chill out on the sofa getting belly rubs. She walks nicely on her leash and appears to be house trained.
