DEAR ALVIN, It is indeed an eagle’s nest — a bald eagle’s nest. The word “bald” in American bald eagle comes from the old-fashioned word, “piebald,” which means marked with white. The scientific name, Haliaeetus leucocephalus, translates to “whiteheaded sea eagle.” The marshes are attractive to eagles because there are abundant food sources and large cypress trees to use as nesting sites. Eagles typically build their nests in large pine or cypress trees near a large body of water. Eagles, which mate for life, tend to nest in the same area repeatedly and can live for more than 30 years in the wild. They build a nest in a fork of stout branches close to the top of a tree. The birds use sticks to make the nests, which can be very large and weigh several hundred pounds. The female eagle lays one to three eggs, with two being the most common. The eagles incubate the eggs for 35 days, during which time the female rarely leaves the nest. You can find bald eagles in every state except Hawaii, and they are prevalent in Florida, Wisconsin, Washington, Minnesota, Oregon and Michigan. The largest concentration by far, however, is in Alaska. One June 20, 1782, the bald eagle was chosen as the emblem of the United States — against the recommendation of Benjamin Franklin, who wanted the North American wild turkey. Our forefathers chose the eagle because of its long life, great strength and majestic looks — and because they believed it existed only on this continent. Experts estimate between 100,000 and 500,000 bald eagles were nesting in America when lawmakers adopted the eagle as a national symbol, but in the 19th and early 20th centuries, deforestation, hunting and the use of the insecticide DDT made their numbers dwindle. By 1963, the population of breeding pairs in the lower 48 states had dropped to a record low of 417. Louisiana’s abundance of coastal refuges are essential to eagles’ feeding and reproduction cycle, but at one time the state had only four breeding pairs. In 1990,

Louisiana was home to 50 breeding pairs of bald eagles. That number grew to 284 by 2006 and now numbers 300, many of them residing in the swamps and marshes of St. Tammany and St. Charles parishes. In Louisiana, eagles nest in the winter when pairs of birds ready a nest and lay eggs. Most of the eggs have been laid by November and will hatch at the end of the year. By May, most eagles have left their

nests and soon thereafter leave the state. Experts believe eagles spend their summers in the northern states. The U.S. Interior Department declared the American bald eagle was endangered in 1967, but took it off that list in 2007. Eagles are still protected by federal and state laws. HEY BLAKE, WE ARE HAVING A CONVERSATION AT WORK: THERE WAS A HOSIERY STORE LOCATED IN THE AUDUBON BUILDING ON CANAL STREET FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. CAN YOU LOCATE THE STORE? PAM DEAR PAM, For well more than 30 years, there was a very popular hosiery store called Lady Oris Hosiery Shops Inc. It wasn’t actually in the Audubon Building located at 931 Canal St., however. The shop’s address was 929 Canal St. It closed in 1990 or 1991.

DANZIGER: GUILTY ACROSS THE BOARD

On Aug. 5, a federal jury found five current and former New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) officers guilty on all 25 counts in the Danziger Bridge shooting trial. The men — Kenneth Bowen, Robert Faulcon, Robert Gisevius, Arthur Kaufman and Anthony Villavaso — were convicted on charges that included falsification of witness statements, fabrication of evidence, making false statements to the FBI, deprivation of civil rights and obstruction of justice. Kaufman remained free on bond; the other men will be held until sentencing Dec. 14. Prosecutors claimed NOPD officers shot six civilians on the bridge over the Industrial Canal several days after Hurricane Katrina, killing two of them, James Brissette and Ronald Madison. However, the jury did not find Brissette and Madison’s shootings constituted murder. This story was still developing as Gambit went to press.

IN EASTERN NEW ORLEANS, HISPANIC RESIDENTS ARE FORGING TIES WITH THE VIETNAMESE-AMERICANS WHO SETTLED THERE IN THE 1970S. BY MICHAEL JOE

account for about 30 percent of sales. “I want to grow in America. So it is very important I learn English,” Benitez says. Twice a week, he attends an English as a second language (ESL) class around the corner, at a storefront Baptist church led by a Honduran-American pastor. Outside Viet My is a taco truck, whose Honduranborn owner pays the Vu family a couple hundred dollars a month for water and electrical hook-ups. Vu says the truck is good for business and provides her with a sense of security. After 5 p.m. each evening, the parking lot fills with weary construction workers seeking nourishment and maybe a beer, which they buy from the store because the taco truck does not have a liquor license, says Officer Janssen Valencia, the New Orleans Police Department’s liaison to the Hispanic community. “Here you have two businesses: one surviving off the other because they are helping each other,” Valencia says.

Despite Sen. David Vitter’s opposition to President Barack Obama’s every move, Obama’s 2008 election has been a boon to the soiled senator. It allowed Vitter to reinvent himself after his credentials as a family-values crusader vanished in the face of his prostitution scandal and “very serious sin.” Vitter’s latest ploy is blocking Obama’s nominations for Cabinet-level appointments, a bit of theater he pulled again Aug. 3 when he announced he would block Rebecca Wodder, who was chosen by Obama in early June to be Assistant PAGE 13

t the Viet My supermarket off Chef Menteur Highway, where a stream of customers has for two decades sustained an immigrant family’s dreams, 21-year-old Eddie Benitez works day by day to fulfill his own. Arriving from Honduras 16 months ago, Benitez has been working at Viet My for the last year — except for two weeks in May, when he quit for the promise of better pay doing construction work. It rained hard and often during those two weeks, and he says the work was not as steady as he needed it to be. He knows the money he sends home to his family — his mother, father and seven younger siblings — buys food and pays the rent, but he is unsure how long he will remain in New Orleans. “I don’t know,” Benitez says. “I might marry here. I might find someone here who loves me.” Thanh Vu, the matriarch of the VietnameseAmerican family who owns Viet My, did not hesitate when Benitez asked for his job back. Her six children are doing well at work or in school; her youngest plans to attend Tulane University this fall. She says she understands that Benitez and her other Hispanic workers will try to find better jobs. “They are good workers. So when they come back, I just hire them,” Vu says. A number of Vietnamese-owned stores in the neighborhood have employed Hispanic workers since Hurricane Katrina, Vu says. “Most of them hire one or two Hispanic workers to speak the language,” because “many Hispanic customers speak very little English.” Benitez does just about everything at Viet My: he butchers meat for the fresh food display; keeps the stockroom in order; stocks shelves with Asian and Latin food products; and provides translation for an increasing number of Spanish-speaking customers, who now

The booming hispanic population has diversified neighborhoods throughout the new orleans area. but in Village de l’est in the far northeastern corner of orleans parish, the predominately Vietnamese population has embraced its new hispanic neighbors in some remarkable ways, forging economic and social relationships around work, religion and a shared sense of what it is like to be an immigrant in america. ethnographers warn against putting too much stock in the idea that ethnic groups choose to live in close proximity to one another due to some sort of cultural understanding of one another; they say pragmatic factors like proximity to good schools, economic considerations like affordable rents and oftentimes pure serendipity have more to do with creating a neighborhood’s ethnic milieu. but while circumstance and simple chance may explain why hispanics are moving to his neighborhood, 35-year-old michael Tran says the groups have a common understanding. “i think we share the struggle, coming from a Third World country,” Tran says. For decades there has been a recognizable hispanic presence in the new orleans region, many of them from honduras. but when more hispanics arrived as part of the workforce required to rebuild the region, suddenly, it seemed — as had occurred in other parts of the country where housing construction boomed — the new orleans area now had a sizable number of hispanic residents. The hispanic population is growing most rapidly in the suburbs, reflecting a national trend. in Jefferson parish, the hispanic population grew from 7 percent of total population in 2000 to 12 percent in 2010, census data show. but orleans parish has seen its hispanic population grow significantly as well, from 3 percent overall in 2000 to 5 percent in 2010. The growth is happening primarily in mid-city and less densely populated eastern new orleans, where a census tract that runs parallel to chef menteur highway more than doubled its latino population, from 70 to 183, according to an analysis by Tulane university geographer Richard campanella. in the eastern areas of the city, campanella says, “it is probably reasonable to say that the post-Katrina housing that came back online as rentable real estate, at reasonable rents, provided housing opportunities” for workers who needed to live near construction jobs. martin guiterrez, the vice president of social services at catholic charities, says the numbers confirm what he and others have witnessed since Katrina. “it flooded in that area along chef highway, but it did not flood as badly

as in other areas of New Orleans East, so people were able to fix the properties and they started renting to immigrants,” he says. Thanh Vu’s third daughter, Mai Vu, says Hispanics replaced a lot of Vietnamese who moved to the West Bank or along Bullard Avenue.

WHIlE THE CHuRCH Is ONE Of THE things that attracted him to the neighborhood, Maldonado says Hispanics are also moving here because he believes they feel more comfortable here than in other parts of the city. “Because downtown,

JOsE MAldONAdO sAys HE WAs ONE Of the first Hispanics to move to Village de l’Est — in fact, he rented a house he had helped to rebuild. Back then, he says, “It was so easy to find work. We worked 10 houses at the same time.” But being away from his family in Houston was difficult. He would trek there every other weekend to spend time with his two daughters, sary and Audry, and their mother, Alma. When he asked Alma to move to New Orleans, she told him that she would, but only if he made a commitment to stop drinking. “When I lived in Texas, I drank too much. When I moved over here, I still drank a lot,” Maldonado says. “she said, ‘Well, are you going to change your life?’ And I said, ‘Okay, let’s go look for God and change our life.’” since 2006, Mary Queen of Vietnam Catholic Church has held a spanishlanguage Mass for Hispanic parishioners. Maldonado said they use the church’s original chapel, off Alcee fortier Boulevard, for sunday Mass and friday night Bible study. The Rev. Nghiem Van Nguyen, who leads the church, says, “When we came here in 1975, Americans gave help to us, and now we want to help.” The chapel is being renovated, and the Mass has moved to the big church on dwyer Boulevard. On a recent sunday afternoon, Maldonado sat in a pew near the front with his daughters and Alma, who is now his wife. “We got married at the church a year ago; we were the first spanish marriage at the church,” he says with a smile, adding the church has now seen six spanish marriages, “and (there will be) three more in the next three months.”

it’s hard to live. In Kenner, the rent is too expensive, and some people don’t have papers and they ask for papers to rent places there,” he said. Valencia says Vietnamese property owners worry less about issues that bar Hispanics from renting property elsewhere. for instance, Valencia says, “They are not as concerned with how many people are going to live in a place.” As long as the rent is paid, he says the Vietnamese owners understand a lot of people might be living under the same roof, because they have done it too. With the help of Catholic Charities, Valencia has been addressing Esl classes and community and church groups in the city to teach Hispanics about the law and help ease their fears of police. Many people he talks to are in the country illegally. Valencia says he tells them, “We’re not going to ask about your documentation. We don’t care about your status. We just want to know if you are victims. Because our job is public safety in the community and you are part of the community.” He says that kind of message helps ease fears and starts a conversation. Valencia has reached out to law enforcement agencies in surrounding parishes with an offer to give similar speeches in their jurisdictions, but he has yet to find anyone to take him up on his offer. “I’ve been lucky in the sense that with the past mayor and the past (police) superintendent, and with this mayor and this superintendent, they have continued this amnesty toward Hispanics,” he says. since January, Valencia has been working from a shed in the parking lot of Mary Queen of Vietnam’s original chapel. He says he leaves his office at least a couple of times a day to stop by Hispanic-owned businesses along Alcee fortier Boulevard and just to talk with people in the neighborhood. Asked whether there have been any major conflicts between Vietnamese and Hispanics, Valencia says no. But he says he often reminds Hispanic residents they have not been there as long as their Vietnamese neighbors. “you are guests in their community,” he says he tells them. “This is their community, and you guys have to learn to get along with them.”

MORE scuttlEbutt One Fund nOt Like the Others

Before his handling of all claims related to the BP oil disaster, Kenneth Feinberg and his law firm handled the claims of the 9/11 Victims Compensation and Agent Orange Settlement funds. According to a report by Advocates for Environmental Human Rights (AEHR), the Gulf Coast Claims Facility (GCCF) — which serve as Feinberg’s claims processing points in the field — are unlike their predecessors in one very important respect: The report found that, unlike the 9/11 and Agent Orange funds, the GCCF has denied all health-related claims, citing “lack of medical proof of causation.” Established in 1984 to aid Vietnam War veterans exposed to Agent Orange, the Agent Orange settlement fund received 105,000 health claims. It awarded 52,000 claims, totaling almost $200 million. The 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund received 42,000 health claims, and the fund awarded $380 million to 2,425 of those applicants. Neither funds required applicants to provide any medical proof of their claims. Feinberg has, however, turned down more than 200 applicants with health-related claims in the wake of last year’s oil disaster, and the GCCF requires applicants to provide proof of medical causation. (Gambit contacted the offices of Feinberg-Rozen, Feinberg’s Washington D.C.-based law firm, for comment, but received no reply as of press time.) From July to October 2010, the Louisiana Bucket Brigade and Tulane University’s Disaster Resilience Leadership Academy performed a health survey of residents in Terrebonne, Jefferson, Plaquemines and St. Bernard parishes. The survey found more than three-quarters of respondents claimed respiratory and eye irritation, yet only 54 percent of respondents had health insurance, and just 31 percent sought treatment. The AEHR report concludes, “It should be sufficient evidence for GCCF claimants to show that they were in the vicinity of BP’s toxic crude oil and/or chemical dispersants and have a medically diagnosed illness or disability. People of the Gulf Region deserve the same treatment as people who received compensation for their toxic exposure-related illnesses from the Agent Orange Settlement Fund and the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund. Anything less denies their human right to health.” — Alex Woodward

Secretary in the Fish, Wildlife and Parks division of the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI). Vitter’s demand: that the DOI renew hundreds of offshore oil leases in the Gulf of Mexico. (DOI spokesman Adam Fetcher told Politico, “Senator Vitter’s request is perplexing,” adding the department “took action on this a month and a half ago.”) In February, Vitter blocked Daniel Ashe, Obama’s pick to head the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, until the DOI granted its 15th deepwater exploration permit. Vitter lifted the block June 1, when the DOI issued permit No. 15. Still in place is Vitter’s block on Scott Doney, whom Obama had chosen to lead the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association. And in May, Vitter got major press for blocking a $19,600 per year pay raise for Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar, saying he would only remove the block when the DOI resumed pre-BP permitting rates. Wodder’s nomination battle may be the ugliest yet. A longtime environmentalist who worked at The Wilderness Society before becoming president and CEO of the conservation group American Rivers, Wodder is shaping up as a major conservative bogeywoman. In February, while still at American Rivers, she slammed H.R. 1, the yearly appropriations bill, which she called “the most anti-environmental piece of legislation in history.” She added, “Protecting handouts to Big Oil is a priority, but protecting clean water and air for our children isn’t? I think the House majority is out of step with America.” In an appearance last month before the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, Wodder was asked about everything from her criticism of the natural gas industry’s practice of hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) to her mostly vegetarian diet (Wodder said she objected to factory farming). Expect to hear more about Wodder when the furor over the debt-ceiling debate dies down. Last week, the conservative bellwether website Town Hall tagged her as a “radical enviro,” while the Washington Examiner called her a “Big Green ideologue.” Back in less politically charged times, the American Sportfishing Association named Wodder “Woman of the Year” in 1998, and last year Outdoor Life magazine named her to its list of Top 25 Conservationists. — Kevin Allman

t took some imagination to foresee a business boom along Freret Street back in the spring of 2006, when Michelle Ingram bought a building here to start her pet boarding and grooming shop, Zeus’ Place. “There were vagrants living upstairs in some of these buildings, and they’d hurl sofas out onto the street, but it didn’t matter because no one was ever driving down the street,” Ingram says. But Ingram did have imagination, and while walking to her shop each day from her home a few blocks down Freret, she’d picture the businesses she hoped would one day emerge in the battered, flood-stained storefronts. “On these dream walks of mine, I hoped that maybe, someday, we’d have two restaurants between my house and the shop,” she says. These days, reality has far outstripped that modest dream. The recovery of this historic but long-neglected business corridor is now in overdrive, and more than anywhere else this eight-block stretch of Freret between Napoleon and Jefferson avenues has emerged as the city’s newest restaurant row. Eight new bars, restaurants and cafes have opened along the corridor since 2009, including three in the last five months alone. Four more are slated to open in 2011 (including two as early as this week) and still more chefs and restaurateurs are now hunting for Freret Street real estate for their next ventures. Each of these new businesses is independent, locally owned and doing its own thing (a pre-Katrina Domino’s Pizza franchise is back too). Their options range from hot dogs and po-boys to Cuban sandwiches and fresh juice sno-balls. Together, they’ve brought a level of vigor, momentum and traffic to this corridor that has stunned even the street’s most ardent boosters. “I’m really surprised by how fast it’s gone, I mean New Orleans just doesn’t move this quickly,” says Neal Bodenheimer, co-owner of the Freret Street craft cocktail lounge Cure and board member of the Freret Business and Property Owners Association. “But I think what this neighborhood needed was a jump-start and it’s been the restaurants and bars that provided that. There are tourists walking around Freret now coming to these places,

We’re looking out for you.’ There’s a good mix of concepts here and that’s drawing people in, helping all of us.” More help of this sort could arrive as early as this week, when Adam Biderman hopes to open the Company Burger on Freret and begin serving hand-crafted burgers. This week is also the target date for Ben Sherman and Steve Watson, co-owners of Uptown’s King Pin Bar, to open their Chicago -st yle deep dish pizza restaurant, The Midway, in the 4700 block of Freret. Other ventures slated to open by year’s end include Origami, a new Japanese restaurant from veteran local sushi chef Mitsuko Tanner now under construction in the former address of Friar Tucks bar, and PubliQ House, which owner Rhett Briggs describes as being a comfortable bar with a sense of design. There will be 20 beers on tap at PubliQ House, along with 100 more in bottles and a stage for live music. Briggs also wants to build parking accommodations specifically for food trucks to cater to his patrons. In addition, Dat Dog co-owner Skip Murray has bought the former gas station across the street from his current address and plans to relocate to that much larger space. Once that happens, Murray says, he wants to convert Dat Dog’s small, original location into a different type of eatery, possibly a candy shop. “I never expected this turnout,” Murray says of the popular response to Dat Dog. “With hot dogs, you have fanatics that seek you out, they’re like bird watchers. But I wondered if people would walk to Freret to find us and the answer is they did.” ReSTAURAnTS AnD BARS ARen’T the only businesses setting up shop on Freret, which has seen new ven-

tures ranging from a comedy club to a bike shop to a garden center to a boxing gym since Katrina. Meanwhile, stalwarts like Freret Hardware and the Junior League’s thrift store Bloomin’ Deals are among the businesses that rebuilt after the flood. (Freret’s best known pre-Katrina restaurant, Dunbar’s Creole Cooking, reopened a few miles away inside a student center on the Loyola University campus.) But with their density, diversity and attendant buzz, it’s the new eating and drinking establishments that have put Freret in the spotlight. Dana eness, executive director of Urban Conservancy, a local civic planning group, points out that while people don’t necessarily travel across town for errands they can handle closer to home, they will seek out restaurants that are doing something different and exciting. “You have to get out of your car to appreciate the diversity of businesses there now, and restaurants will pull people in who want to try them out,” eness says. “That’s definitely a restaurant destination now.” Why restaurants and bars? Freret advocates and restaurateurs themselves point to a confluence of reasons. They credit a core of determined local developers and neighborhood leaders who stepped up as impresarios, and they say the relatively affordable real estate made a difference. They also credit District B City Councilwoman Stacy Head, whose district includes Freret, with helping create new zoning through an arts and cultural overlay district that specifically allows their businesses. And finally, there’s the intangible allure and resiliency of the street’s own DnA. “I bought my first bike on Freret as a kid; we’d come to Dunbar’s for lunch during high school,” says Matthew Kohnke, a partner in Cure. “I had faith something positive would happen. This is a central

coming together on their own. It was at a community meeting early in 2006 when Ingram of Zeus’ Place met Freret residents and real estate developers Greg Ensslen and Peter Gardner. Each was passionate about the street’s potential, and each had investments riding on that potential. “We decided the easiest, fastest way to get attention to Freret was with a market,” says Ensslen, whose company Go Mango has redeveloped a number of the commercial buildings along Freret.

Ensslen, Gardner and Ingram each kicked in $100 to seed a bank account to start the Freret Business & Property Owners Association, which they used as the vehicle to hold the first Freret Market in September 2007. Today, this monthly market typically draws 90 vendors and 5,000 shoppers (the next one is Sept. 3). “The market put more eyes on the street, it got people to see all the commercial buildings we have here so when they had ideas about starting that restaurant they always

wanted to do they now at least knew about Freret,” Ingram says. AS ThAT FIrST FrErET MArkET GOT underway, neighborhood leaders were also working with head’s office to rezone the neighborhood as an arts and cultural overlay district. This city planning designation, put into effect in 2008, eases the permitting process for restaurants, entertainment venues, galleries and other types of businesses. “Everyone who wanted things to happen on Freret were at those neighborhood meetings and the message was clear: we want businesses open here at night,” Ensslen says. “The people here bought into it. They recognized that if we want things to happen here and have Freret be an active place, a safe place to be at night, that other things would come with that, like people parking on your block, like noise at night, like the time someone breaks up with her boyfriend outside of your house. So we recognized that from the start and built the rules and the zoning around that.” For instance, the overlay district allows bars and restaurants, but prohibits package liquor sales. Bars can host live music, but not karaoke, DJs or adult entertainment. restaurants can host bands too, though they must be “non-amplified.” The overlay also sets business hours for bars, which have to close by midnight Sunday through Thursday and by 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. head says that by setting out such rules,

the neighborhood let entrepreneurs know they could invest in Freret without the local resistance that sometimes accompanies a restaurant or bar opening in other parts of town. “It meant that when people came to see me about a project, I could say, look Magazine Street is at the saturation point for restaurants and (bars) but why don’t you go to Freret Street where your business is already allowed as a matter of right, where you can get a liquor license as a matter of right?” head says. “Magazine Street won’t accept another bar, but (on Freret) you can open; you don’t have to jump through all these hoops.” Many of the restaurateurs and bar owners now open or coming to Freret had looked at other properties around town, and they say the zoning overlay was a big part of their decision. One of them is Biderman of the Company Burger, who recently moved back from Atlanta where he was a chef at holeman & Finch Public house, a meat-centric “noseto-tail” restaurant that was named the best restaurant of 2010 by that city’s alt-weekly, Creative Loafing. “It’s the people here, the philosophy of bringing something back, and that zoning overlay just makes it all so much easier,” Biderman says. “It’s the attitude that the people invited us to be here, they said ‘yes.’ They want you to be here as long as you’re doing the right thing. “That’s an enormous shift in thinking for this city, and for a first-time

restaurateur that’s so reassuring, that if you do it right you’re investing your money and you can open and be successful. In other areas, you worry if you piss off the wrong person, and you don’t even know it, they’ll make trouble for you. Here, everyone seems to have the same goal.” One OF tHe queStIOn markS for Freret’s future is the impact of planned roadwork. the neighborhood has been expecting the city to begin a round of streetscape improvements to repair broken curbs, install new benches and signs, plant trees, upgrade streetlights and make sidewalks more wheelchair-accessible. the start date for this six-month project has been pushed back many times, but Landrieu’s office now expects construction to begin in november. ensslen is among those hopeful that, despite inevitable inconveniences from the roadwork, the project will leave the street ready for more investment. and more people have indeed expressed interest in joining the Freret restaurant row. Commercial real estate signs have blossomed on many of the empty buildings along the street, and chefs and restaurateurs with an eye for expansion have been shopping around. Xavier Laurentino, the chef/ owner of Barcelona tapas in the

riverbend, was on Freret one recent afternoon checking out a dilapidated storefront. He’s interested in creating a new restaurant on Freret specializing in bocatas, the slim, crusty sandwiches served at practically every cafe in his native Barcelona. Likewise, chef David Whitmore, who runs mimi’s of river ridge along with his cochef Pete Vasquez, says they’re interested in Freret’s potential and have looked at a number of properties for a new restaurant. the success on Freret has others hopeful that its example will inspire similar redevelopment along more historic commercial corridors. “O.C. Haley (Boulevard) could be the next success story like this,” says Head, whose council district also includes that underutilized Central City business strip. “It’s not seen the same level of entrepreneurship. there it’s been about nonprofits and government programs and you can see how the difference in commercial development varies greatly. “I’m hoping the entrepreneurial spirit that’s driven the Freret renaissance, with the support of government, can make it the next success story, that people in Central City can get together, maybe with partners, and buy these beautiful historic buildings and invest in them and get the types of things there that they need.” Steve Watson (left) and Ben Sherman, co-owners of the King Pin Bar, plan to open their Midway Pizza on Freret Street this week.

where he currently teaches dance. Corbin Popp grew up in Nebraska and has performed with several ballet companies. Darwin the Dinosaur has no spoken narrative and relies on the effects of the electroluminescent wire, wild movement and music. There also are pop cultural references to films including Star Wars and The Matrix. In the story, Professor Henslow (Popp) creates a dinosaur (Carney) and names it after Charles Darwin (who had a real-life mentor named Henslow). To keep Darwin from eating him, Henslow gives the dinosaur a heart, and they become friends. Darwin then heads out into the world and encounters large birds, fish and turtles, and he battles a frightening red dinosaur named Brutus. Carney says they had no intention of broaching the issues of evolution or creationism, though that controversy has been raised at some performances. Instead, the story is about science, magic and transformation, he says. “I just love the idea that the heart evolves, that we learn one thing and our experience moves us from there,” he says. The group presented Darwin at the National Puppetry Festival in July. The company travels to Russia for performances in October, and work is under way on new projects. Next up is an adaption of The Ugly Duckling, expected to open in Austin in January 2012, and a version of “The Tortoise and the Hare” is in development for next summer.

ulane University dance professor Ian Carney spent three years in New York performing as the lead in Movin’ Out, the Broadway musical created by pop singer Billy Joel and renowned choreographer Twyla Tharp. In his free time, he often visited the American Museum of Natural History, where he developed an interest in the fossils of birds and dinosaurs. When fellow Movin’ Out cast member Corbin Popp began experimenting with electroluminescent wire, Carney suggested making a dinosaur. The wire figures grew from small puppets to fullbody costumes with extended tails, wings, long necks and fearsome jaws. Combining art, science, dance and drama, the two created Darwin the Dinosaur, an all-ages show in which the whimsical creatures come to life in vibrant lights in a completely dark theater, appearing almost like the fast action of a video game. “We wanted to give kids a way into dance and theater that was cool,” Carney says. “When I was little, in ballet, I wanted to fight with swords. I wanted a superhero ballet.” With their wives, Eleanor Carney and Whitney Popp, Ian and Corbin developed the show and have toured with it. They return home for its local debut, opening at the Contemporary Arts Center on Friday. Together, the couples formed CORBiAN Visual Arts and Dance. Classical ballet is their common denominator. Ian and Eleanor Carney were principal dancers with the Montgomery Ballet in the late 1990s. Ian grew up in New Orleans and graduated from Tulane,

Late Harvest

Born in Manhattan and raised in Los Angeles, 43-year-old singer/ songwriter Gillian Welch has devoted the bulk of her adult life to folding that map in half, finding her inspiration in the creases in between: crystalline Blue Ridge bluegrass circles and down-home country/western hoedowns, Depression-era siren songs and beyond-the-grave Southern Gothic blues. On five studio albums over 15 years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and 2000â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack, on which Welch sings two central tracks and has a production credit â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mastered a fine art: forging artifice-less artifacts, playing tricks with time, telling bleak fortunes from a deja vu tarot deck and letting her rangy, low-slung contralto move in like a rain cloud, reflected in shadowy countermelody and acoustic guitar and banjo accompaniment by David Rawlings, her longtime compositional sidekick. The Harrow & the Harvest (Acony), their first outing since 2003â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easygoing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and amplified â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Soul Journey, follows an eight-year creative drought with a (relatively) rocking single, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Way It Goes.â&#x20AC;? A more accurate measure of the albumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pulse comes from two companion pieces: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Way It Will Be,â&#x20AC;? the cold morning after Time (The Revelator) mirage â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Dream a Highwayâ&#x20AC;?; and true-blues closer â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Way the Whole Thing Ends,â&#x20AC;? where she sounds resigned to walk away from the finish line, unrequited (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now here you come alone and crying/ Once you know you were my friend/ Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way the cornbread crumbles/ Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way the whole thing endsâ&#x20AC;?).

Daylight confirms your worst fears about hitchhikers, but it’s less predictable about the work of kidnappers. David Barker’s exceedingly spare and taut psychological thriller gets right to the ugly business of kidnapping, as Daniel (Aidan Redmond) and pregnant wife Irene (Alexandra Meierhans) drive into the countryside to attend a wedding. Soon lost, they stop to ask a man for directions, and he offers to guide them in return for a ride. He quickly draws a knife and the couple is taken to a remote farmhouse. Kidnappers Renny (Michael Godere) and Leo (Ivan Martin) are scruffy, menacing and alternately calm or fidgety. As simple as their ruse is, they sometimes don’t seem to have a thought-out plan, which makes the predicament more open-ended and terrifying. If they weren’t out for a ransom then what were their intentions? Irene is not restrained, leaving open the possibility she could flee. As far along in her pregnancy as she is, however, it’s not likely she would get anywhere quickly. And would that be a choice between her husband and the baby? She is extremely vulnerable, and Barker effectively manipulates the uncomfortable tension. Renny asks to listen to the baby, and as he becomes more protective of her, Leo develops a more unseemly interest. As Irene comes between the two men, the situation gets volatile. Throughout the film, Barker relies on understatement and chilling implications and delivers a tense thriller. Tickets $7 general admission, $6 students/seniors, $5 Zeitgeist members. — Will Coviello

Liberation Ecology

The Earth Liberation Front (ELF) may be the most reasonable group of people ever labeled terrorists. Their spree of arsons targeted at logging companies and other entities they deemed environmental offenders never killed or injured a single human being. (One of the fires eliminated a slaughterhouse used to kill wild horses, a facility so poorly run the overflow of blood ran into local waters.) The group even disbanded after members concluded it had made some mistakes and the tactics were not succeeding in communicating their message or building support for environmentalism. But the government pursued and eventually caught the 14 core members. One of them, Daniel McGowan, was tried according to laws developed in response to the al Qaeda terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Marshall Curry’s gripping If Tree Falls focuses on ELF, chronicling the events that radicalized them, McGowan’s trial and the government’s cracking of the case. The film includes some harrowing views of entire mountains balded by logging, but the events that radicalized the ELF involved the actions of government. It wasn’t just that the environmentalists felt government was being run to favor corporate interests, but that it was systematically denying citizen participation. The film doesn’t offer an argument for exoneration for McGowan or ELF, but it does probe whether the system is just. They are guilty of the destruction of corporate property, but are they terrorists?

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET

review Detecting a Pattern

Longtime curator and Prospect New Orleans founder Dan Cameron has a knack for putting art in context, and this Tina Girouard and Robert Gordy expo at the Contemporary Arts Center is right on the money. Both artists helped shape the direction of American art, yet both became overshadowed. In the late 1960s, Girouard and fellow Louisianians Lynda Benglis, Dickie Landry and Keith Sonnier, helped to launch post-minimalism in New York as a way of injecting sinuous, fluid lines into minimalism’s stark rigidity. She and New Orleans native Kendall Shaw also were seminal influences on the Pattern and Design, or P&D, movement in New York in the early 1970s. But one of the greatest P&D painters of all, Robert Gordy, remained in New Orleans until his death at age 52 in 1986. Blending deco patterning with expressionistic and psychedelic flourishes, Gordy produced some of America’s more charismatic paintings and prints of the period, and this show provides a welcome window on his and Girouard’s accomplishments. While some of Gordy’s best works are not represented here, what we see hints at his scope and flair. In his 1981 Night Scene (pictured), the patterning and figures recall Keith Haring’s early work of the period, but the craft and polish are more typical of Louisiana and European artists. His 1971 Large Still Life painting of iridescent fruit amid concrete blocks suggests a Dutch Master on acid, and a 1970 screen print of his zany stylized nudes leaping blank walls that resemble Richard Serra sculptures, is a sly critique of minimalist pretenses. Girouard replaced minimalism’s hard edges with soft sinewy fabric and symbolic content as we see in her large Conflicting Evidence tapestry. A seasoned performance artist, she also collaborated with Laurie Anderson, Philip Glass and many others who were part and parcel of her exotically patterned life. Many of her and Gordy’s works look timeless and vital today while reminding us of Louisiana’s major, yet often overlooked, influence on modern American art history. — D. Eric Bookhardt

Southern Rep Theater, The Shops at Canal Place, 333 Canal St., third floor, 522-6545; www.southernrep.com

It’s easy to snicker at some works of modern art, and perhaps too easy when the painting in question is a highpriced all-white canvas — though in Yasmina Reza’s Art, the painter’s new owner, Serge, claims to discern hints of other colors and diagonal lines. Marc draws a blank on those alleged subtleties, and he’s quite confrontational about it. Yvan is caught in the middle, and for as long as possible he tries to maintain sympathy for both points of view without having to take a side. Reza’s play debuted in Paris in 1994 and had a Tony Award-winning run in New York. Perhaps it has some French sensibilities that are lost in translation, but the three men are extremely contentious about their aesthetic tastes, or at least Marc and Serge are. The battle of traditionalism versus modernism escalates to sharp personal assaults, and the withering attacks aimed at each other’s personalities, significant others and psychological tics threaten to obliterate all traces of their friendship. Perhaps it’s supposed to be a farcical element that the play so viciously ridicules moderation and civility as being for the spineless and feebleminded. Only some of that is played for humor by director Kate Kuen. The NOLA Project is making sure no two audiences see the same work. Different combinations of six actors will fill the three roles during the show’s run in the New Orleans Museum of Art’s Where Y’Art series. The performance I saw featured a soft-spoken Michael Aaron Santos as the wealthy and pretentious Serge. NOLA Project artistic director A.J. Allegra played the smug and combative Marc, who prefers classical works. James Bartelle played the amicable but overly accommodating Yvan, who also is caught between his fiancee, her family and his family on the eve of their wedding. Yvan’s humiliation and distress about the politics of whether their stepmothers should both be listed on the wedding invitation was an exquisitely long and hilarious meltdown. But it was just a prelude to the soul-crushing revelations and judgments soon to follow, some of which is painfully funny as the men share what they really think of their friends. The conflict reaches a point of absurdity, however, and one wonders what philosophical point justifies the collateral damage. Do they really have a relationship worth preserving if they can’t tolerate each others’ values or tastes? Should art open a discussion or send viewers to their bunkers to protect their ideas in the sanctity of solitude? The conflict is entertaining if a bit overheated. Yvan is seeing a psychologist, and it’s tempting to think the production would find more humor in the anxieties of wanting friends’ approval than just assaulting their beliefs. — Will Coviello

RESTAURANT BENEFITS DELIVER A LOT MORE THAN GOOD MEALS. BY IAN MCNULTY

nection but are still intrinsically tied to the industry and its interests. One example is coming Thursday, Aug. 11, when the New Orleans Police and Justice Foundation revives Fight Crime with a Fork, a restaurant-based benefit that’s been on hiatus for the past few years. The mechanics of the event are simple: Dine out at any of 20 participating restaurants on Thursday and those restaurants donate a portion of proceeds to the foundation. This nonprofit supports local law enforcement, though it’s not restricted to support for the New Orleans Police Department. It helps the department with officer recruiting and retention, but executive director Carole Berke says the foundation also is working closely with the Department of Justice to help implement reforms the feds say the police force needs. Effective law enforcement is important for everyone, but restaurateurs may have a keener appreciation for the foundation’s mission than most. Wendy Waren, spokeswoman for the Louisiana Restaurant Association (a partner in Thursday’s event), points out that fear of crime hits restaurants especially hard if fewer tourists visit or locals hunker down rather than go out to dine. The foundation has rounded up an impressive array of choices for Fight Crime with a Fork, from casual places like Acme Oyster House and the Praline Connection to big guns like Commander’s Palace (see the list at www.fightcrimewithafork.com). And even though his own restaurant, Boucherie, is closed in August for its annual summer break, Zimet got personally involved by helping to recruit participants. As a recent victim of violent crime, he has a new appreciation for the foundation’s work, he says, and as the recent beneficiary of restaurant industry support, he knows firsthand now the difference its involvement can make.

he porchetta made a point: When restaurant people are cooking for a crowd of other restaurant people, expect greatness. This particular porchetta, a bubble-crusted, fat-oozing, lipsmacking rendition of the traditional Italian pork roast, was prepared by Domenica for Beasts & Brass, the July fundraiser to benefit Nathanial Zimet, the chef/owner of Boucherie who was shot during a robbery outside his home this spring. Porchetta, a labor-intensive tour de force of pork, is not normally on Domenica’s menu but its appearance at the benefit was representative of the quality dozens of participating restaurants brought to this event. It was a benefit organized by restaurant people to help one of their own, and it was a powerful demonstration of the way the New Orleans restaurant industry can respond once mobilized for a mission. Our community asks a lot of our restaurants, and we ask often. Event organizers know that good food is reliable bait to get New Orleanians out for a cause and our restaurateurs ceaselessly step up, putting their time, talent and money into countless benefits and fundraisers. Lately, many of these events have been organized for causes close to home for the restaurant industry. As they did for Beasts & Brass, a wide range of local restaurants came together in May to support Michael Bordelon, the co-owner of Liuzza’s Restaurant in MidCity, who was struck by a drunk driver earlier this year. That event, dubbed Liuzza Palooza, started with the idea for a simple block party and garnered such interest that it ballooned into a full-fledged festival on the sprawling lot across from Liuzza’s. Other causes might not have such a clear-cut con-
