Rickie’s in love

Rickie Lee Jones releases an album full of references to her new home in New Orleans.

who joined him onstage, such as John Fogerty and Dr. John. Fans at Springsteen’s 2014 appearance may have taken it in stride when Rickie Lee Jones joined the band for several songs. But it was a surprise for her. Jones had gone to the Fair Grounds like many others that day — as a local with a ticket. “I never would have worn that red dress if I had known I was going to be onstage,” Jones says from her home in Bywater. “It was just for friends to find me in the crowd.” Jones went backstage to visit a few musician friends, and Springsteen’s wife Patti Scialfa saw her and whisked her to the dressing rooms. “I went into the dressing room and then the king came in — he’s like a king, the air goes out of the room,” Jones says. “He was like, ‘Oh, my God, we love you so much. We’re so glad you’re coming back.’ It was so moving. I am ‘coming back.’ … Then when I got up there, he said, ‘Just stay onstage.’” Though she hasn’t performed in New Orleans, Jones quietly moved to the city from Los Angeles in 2013, and this week she’s back — with her first album of new work in a decade (she has released a few albums of older material). National audiences easily might relate that the title of The Other Side of Desire

(officially out Tuesday) to her career crafting folk- and jazz-influenced ballads about love and longing. Jones climbed to the top of the music scene with her 1979 namesake debut (featuring “Chuck E.’s in Love”) and 1981 follow-up Pirates. She graced the cover of Rolling Stone and won a Best New Artist Grammy Award in 1980. The Other Side of Desire, however, also is a reference to the location of her Bywater home. Some songs include very clear homages to local sounds, including the Fats Domino-like piano (provided by Jon Cleary) on “J’ai Connais Pas” and Louis Michot’s (Lost Bayou Ramblers) fiddling on “Valtz de Mon Pere (Lover’s Oath).” The album is a triumph on several fronts for Jones, who had grown tired of Los Angeles and wanted to write again. “I knew I didn’t want to live in L.A. anymore — I hadn’t written,” Jones says. “It was a bold move to realize and accept that I needed to totally restart my life if I wanted to have happiness — and to identify what happiness might be. The first thing it looked like was friends. I needed to have friends around me.” Jones was thinking about moving to the Florida Keys because of its wildlife, but after spending a month there, she opted for New Orleans, where she had a friend. She stayed in the friend’s attic apartment for a while and then got her own apartment. She retrieved her piano from Los Angeles and began writing songs in her new home. To record the album, she doubled her goal in an online funding campaign and hired John Porter to produce it. He recruited many local musicians for the project, including Cleary, Matt Perrine and James Singleton. For some songs she aimed for what she thought of as the sassy New Orleans R&B sounds of 1960s hits by The Dixie Cups, but most of the ballads feature her wry lyrics and a gentle jazz-folk tone. Jones found a sense of community in New Orleans, as well as some new inspiration. She says the last song on the album, “Finale (A Spider in the Circus of the Falling Star),” was inspired by her neighborhood. “One of the things I was most struck with last year, was (that) at all times of night, a parade would go by my house,” she says. “Of tattooed children playing all diverse instruments. They’d be going by at midnight and 11. … I got this animated thing that was happening in my mind.”

Fri.-Sun. June 26-28 | Tab Benoit, Chubby Carrier, Cyril Neville and Swamp Funk, Waylon Thibodeaux and other bands perform at the festival in John Davis Park in Lacombe, and vendors offer an array of crab and seafood dishes.

“I think it’s particularly challenging for the PTSD folks because they’re the ones who those images still bring up that disproportionate response,” Laird says. “So if you’re sitting there with your family, everyone probably has some bad memories of that time. But for most people, they’ve been resolved, so it becomes difficult for the people still struggling with it because everyone around them is saying, ‘I got over it. Why can’t you get over it?’” Yolanda Webb, director of Metropolitan Human Services District, which has partnered with the City of New Orleans to provide mental, behavioral and developmental health services in five walk-in clinics across Orleans Parish, says her office anticipates heightened sensitivity among her patients as the city remembers the days after Katrina. The Louisiana Legislature created the state-funded Metropolitan in 2003 to serve the mental health needs of the community, particularly those with inadequate or no insurance. The district includes five clinics for residents of Orleans, Plaquemines and St. Bernard parishes. “We have seen in our clinics people who are experiencing some of the results, the trauma and stress-related issues of Katrina,” she says. “We also are aware and on alert because reliving or re-experiencing that kind of trauma would certainly cause those who already suffer from mental illness to have forms of flashback.” June is National PTSD Awareness Month, and Webb is using the added attention to the disease to prepare patients for the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. “Some folks might experience symptoms of sadness or depression, particularly in regards to loss, whether it was loss of loved ones or loss of everything they’ve accumulated or invested in over the course of their entire lives,” Webb says.

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > JUNE 23 > 2015

hree months before the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and the federal floods, local and national media outlets began to pay tribute to the storm with a flood of images, personal narratives and how-far-we’ve-come graphics designed to honor the past. Since May, The New Orleans Advocate has devoted its Sunday front page to remembering the storm. NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune has done stories on everything from “Katrina tattoos” to “My Katrina Story.” WWNO-FM started a “Katrina: The Debris” series. Podcasts have interviewed locals about the sights and scenes of Aug. 29, 2005. More local and national coverage is not far behind; at least two local TV stations are planning a week’s worth of nightly specials leading up to the anniversary. National media will be here by the hundreds. The city of New Orleans is ramping up activities as well with its “Katrina 10” (www.katrina10.org) initiative, which will culminate in a series of forums, conferences, memorials, a gala at the Saenger Theatre and a “resilience festival” in the 9th Ward in the days before the anniversary. While active remembering plays a critical role in recovery, some mental health experts worry about the psychological impact these kinds of retrospectives have in a city where mental health care has been drastically reduced since the storm. “Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is often triggered by sensory experiences,” says Robert Laird, a psychiatrist at the University of New Orleans who specializes in behavioral health. “It could be images, sound, being in places. The thunderstorms that we experience during the summer, for some people, are triggering events.” Laird says it’s likely that people who suffered PTSD after the storm will find their stress is triggered by the influx of images, stories and reminders. It’s like reliving the trauma, he says, and it can make those who suffer its effects feel isolated and alone. Symptoms of PTSD include fear, anxiety and a sense that sufferers are in danger all over again — not an unrealistic fear during hurricane season.

“There are folks who suffer from guilt or shame, meaning, ‘Why am I still here and someone else is not?’ Anger and irritability, we see that quite often in folks ... particularly in the workforce, where people are starting to feel angry because it’s a period of time [that] they lost and they can never get that back. So they still hold some of that anger and are really uncertain as to why they still hold that anger.” There is no cure for PTSD; it can last a lifetime. Webb and Laird recommend therapy, and in some cases medication. Laird says exposure therapy has proved particularly helpful for PTSD patients. “Exposure therapy is repeated and gradual exposure to the triggers themselves, so that they become desensitized and lessen over time,” Laird says. “But it’s tricky with PTSD people, because it needs to be very gradual and start at a very low level, because if the exposure is sufficient to produce the PTSD reaction, then ... you’re starting all over again.” Images of Katrina may bring on feelings of sadness or depression even without a diagnosis like PTSD. Charlotte Parent, director of behavioral health for the City of New Orleans, says the anniversary might simply weigh heavily on those who lived through it the first time. “The whole issue for the anniversary for people who actually lived through it, even though they might not have what we consider to be a mental illness at this point, (is that they) are going to relive an experience that has a sense of grief and loss,” Parent says, adding that it’s important people know such feelings aren’t unusual. “Do not think you have a mental illness at that point because you are now experiencing what is part of the grieving process.” Parent says the city is prepared to deal with mental traumas ranging from sadness to illness, but she acknowledges that mental health resources in the City of New Orleans are not what they were before the storm. Parent attributes most of the city’s decline in mental health resources to the loss of Charity Hospital, which was shuttered after the storm. “Since Katrina there’s been decreases in the number of inpatient beds and the opportunities for people to have access to treatment,” she says. “But one of the things we have tried to focus on is ensuring through Metropolitan and other [groups] that we have those outpatient pieces identified and in place.” Janet Hays, a mental health reform advocate and community organizer who operates the website Save Charity Hospital (www.savecharityhospital.com), pushed for greater attention to mental health in a series of meetings she held across the city last week, inviting those with mental illness to share their stories. Before those meetings, Hayes told NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune that she expected people to say that their mental health needs were not

Parent says the only thing her team can do is ask: How do we utilize the things we do have? “After the loss of some of those [psychiatric] beds, Metropolitan created a crisis step-down unit and created additional beds,” Webb says. Metropolitan oversees New Hope, a short-term stabilization program, that provides another five beds, she says. Metropolitan also offers a round-theclock crisis line for people in need of mental health support, in addition to operating a mobile crisis response team. (The phone number is 504-568-3130.) “We don’t turn anyone down or away,” Webb says. “While our mandate is for the uninsured and folks who are Medicaid-eligible, we will treat anyone that is in crisis, so if someone comes into our clinic, we will treat that person, get that person stabilized and then help them through the system of care.” Expect to see the Metropolitan mobile booth at the various ceremonies and events the city has planned for the anniversary of Katrina, Parent says. “Is it concerning? Yeah, it’s concerning, because people see images and it can trigger a lot of emotions — not just (in) the people with PTSD, but in general,” Parent says. “The reality is that the lead-up to such a momentous occasion, we shouldn’t be surprised that this is what’s going to happen. ... It’s loss. We love our city.”

NEWS VIEWS SCUTTLEBUTT Quote of the week

“I was very protective. He had taken a big chance with his career by choosing me over his wife. He said she’d sent him to a nuthouse because of me. Before I met Earl, nobody gave up a damn thing for me. And he was willing to give up everything.” — Stripper Blaze Starr, describing her famous affair with Louisiana Gov. Earl Long to People magazine in 1989. Starr died last week at 83 at her home in West Virginia. The New York Times noted that Starr, who danced at the Sho-Bar on Bourbon Street, “stoked the fantasies of her legions of admirers from the runways of burlesque clubs across the country for more than 30 years, seducing many men along the way.”

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:

Overall, what effect has the charter school movement had on public education in New Orleans?

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > JUNE 23 > 2015

Almost immediately after executives at NOLA Media Group, publisher of NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune, announced the company would be merging with the Alabama Media Group to form a new “Southeast Regional Media Group,” managers at the media company’s offices in One Canal Place met with reporters to announce the newsroom would shrink — again. “They’re being pretty upfront about the fact there will be layoffs,” said one newsroom staffer. Another joked grimly that it may be “2012 redux” — referring to the firings of some 200 Times-Picayune employees in 2012, a move which riled the city for months and made national news. Director of State and Metro Content Mark Lorando and other managers met with small groups within the paper, several people told Gambit. Lorando described layoffs as “deep” to one employee. The restructuring is scheduled to take place in the latter half of 2015 and be complete by early 2016, sources with knowledge of the plan said. Last October, the company announced The Times-Picayune’s printing operations would move to Mobile, Alabama in “late 2015 or early 2016,” resulting in the loss

of 100 jobs in New Orleans and the likely shuttering of the old Times-Picayune building on Howard Avenue. At the time, management said that the building likely would be donated to a New Orleans nonprofit organization. NOLA.com’s former publisher Ricky Mathews will lead the new Southeast Regional Media Group, and David Francis, executive vice president and associate publisher of NOLA Media Group, will become the new publisher of NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune. The new company’s headquarters were unspecified in the press release, but the New Orleans paper soon will be printed in Mobile. Mathews has a long history on the Gulf Coast and operational expenses are expected to be cheaper there. Francis is a native New Orleanian who has been with the company for 30 years. He will be the paper’s first African-American publisher in its 178-year history. He is a more popular figure in the newsroom than Mathews, who has failed to ingratiate himself among the rank and file since he was moved from the Mobile

An AL.com press release announcing the merger quoted Tom Bates, president of Alabama Media Group, as saying, “Their respective newsrooms will share best practices and work together on occasional enterprise projects, but will continue to operate separately and independently from each other.” Later in the press release, Bates was quoted as saying, “Our plan is to work together to find operational efficiencies while also investing in growth opportunities.” It was unclear whether those “operational efficiencies” might encompass the company’s middle management as well as newsroom staffers. Francis and Lorando did not return emails seeking comment. — KEVIN ALLMAN

Working around the ban Cigar convention scopes out places to smoke

You may have heard the Louisiana Legislature eked through a tax hike on cigarettes — 50 cents more per pack — but one aspect of the bill went underreported. House Bill 119 also sought to bump taxes on “premium cigars” from 20 to 25 percent and to increase pipe tobacco taxes by 17 percent. However, those increases got squelched by lawmakers after lobbying by the International Premium Cigar & Pipe Retailers Association (IPCPR). That group is holding its 83rd annual convention in New Orleans July 17-21 — its first in the city since the smoking ban went into effect. The law was specifically written to exclude the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center during events like this one, and IPCPR prepared a handout for attendees listing places they could smoke and assuring them tourism officials would accommodate them. Along with a list of restaurants and bars with outdoor patios, the handout said, “IPCPR is working closely with the New Orleans Convention and Visitors Bureau to develop an even more comprehensive list of ‘smoker friendly’ venues, bars and restaurants for our members.” One of the arguments for the local ordinance was that some medical conventions would no longer consider coming to cities without bans. District B City Councilwoman LaToya Cantrell, who led the fight for the city ordinance, estimated there were more than two dozen major conventions that wouldn’t consider coming to New Orleans without the new law. The IPCPR already had scheduled its 2015 meeting here before the ban was enacted. At press time, IPCPR public relations director Kyle Whalen had not responded to a query as to whether the group would return. — KEVIN ALLMAN

In memoriam

Photographer Harold Baquet dies

Photographer Harold Baquet, who photographed news, music and

cultural events in New Orleans for decades, died last week after a long battle with colon cancer. He was 56. Baquet was the official cameraman for Mayor Ernest N. “Dutch” Morial in the 1980s before becoming the official photographer for Loyola University. In 2011, Loyola presented a retrospective of Baquet’s work titled In the Blink of An Eye. “Harold was a friend, mentor, co-worker, and legend to many on campus,” Loyola President Kevin Wm. Wildes said in a letter to the Loyola community. “His passion, joy and zest for life were contagious. His faith, family, friends, and photography were the loves of his life. The Loyola University and Greater New Orleans communities are better today for having known Harold.” Gambit art critic D. Eric Bookhardt said Baquet used his camera not only to make a living but also to record the city’s cultural history “He was very dedicated, not just to his craft but to his community and to New Orleans culture in general,” Bookhardt said. “He’s definitely a local icon, especially in the black community, which he documented extensively.” Baquet, who died June 18, is survived by his wife, political consultant Cheron Brylski. — KANDACE POWER GRAVES

All the news that doesn’t fit

• Last week, the U.S. Senate voted on a bipartisan amendment to the 2016 National Defense Authorization Act, an amendment that would strengthen the U.S. ban on torture. The amendment was put forth by Arizona Sen. John McCain, a Republican, and California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat. Louisiana split on the vote, with Sen. Bill Cassidy voting for it and Sen. David Vitter against it … • Less than 24 hours after the church shootings in Charleston, South Carolina that killed nine people, outgoing Xavier University President Norman Francis was being honored by the New Orleans City Council. “I’m concerned about this country,” Francis said. “We’re all at risk if we don’t deal with the disparities and the quality of life issues, and they’re there. … We have to deal with this or it will come to haunt us.” ... — KEVIN ALLMAN

Drago’s and Galatoire’s restaurants

provided hot meals to nearly 1,000 first responders from the Shreveport and Bossier Police Departments, the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office and others following recent flooding in Shreveport. The restaurants served meals from Shreveport’s Historic Municipal Auditorium on June 10. Reinhart Foodservice, Leidenheimer Baking Company, Coca-Cola and the Shreveport Hilton also supported the effort.

FestiGals

raised more than $45,000 for the Cancer Association of Greater New Orleans and Breastoration, organizations that provide support to women receiving treatment for cancer. The fourth annual event from June 11-14 at the JW Marriott Hotel in New Orleans hosted 2,000 women and included seminars, events and fundraising auctions.

Terrance Saulny

was terminated from the New Orleans Police Department June 11 after a Public Integrity Bureau investigation revealed the officer used excessive force in September 2014 involving a 16-year-old girl, confirmed via video surveillance and body-mounted camera footage. Saulny is a 25-year veteran of NOPD who had been assigned to the Juvenile Bureau.

Gov. Bobby Jindal

continues to lie to the people of Louisiana (and America) when he claims the recent legislative session did not raise taxes. Nobody believes him, because the SAVE Act has been exposed for the sham that it is. Even conservative Republicans who voted for the act admit it’s a gimmick that was conjured by Jindal to give him the patina of tax purity, with the blessing of Grover Norquist, who likewise is losing credibility on the “no taxes” issue because of Jindal’s Orwellian claim of “no tax increases.”

The New Orleans City Council last week unanimously approved changes to how the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) responds to false alarms, updating a 20-year-old policy by significantly increasing fines for falsely tripped burglar and security systems. NOPD Superintendent Michael Harrison says his department spends 12,000 man-hours and $400,000 each year responding to false alarms — which account for one of every three NOPD emergency responses. Harrison and the council agreed that time and money could be better spent elsewhere. Under the new ordinance, alarm companies have to make two calls to a residence to confirm an emergency before officers are dispatched. If an officer does investigate and determines it was a false alarm, the resident gets a written warning. There’s a $75 fine for the second false alarm response, $150 for a third, and $150 for a fourth, along with NOPD’s suspension of alarm responses to that residence. (The false alarm count resets each year.) There are also $25 late fees if the fines aren’t paid within 30 days, with $100 added for every additional 10 days the fine is delinquent. Councilman-at-Large Jason Williams said NOPD manpower is spread too thin to respond to false alarms, “even if we graduate every single officer.”

“We don’t have enough officers for every district,” he said, adding that an officer shouldn’t be expected to investigate “if a terrier jumps on the couch in someone’s house.” — ALEX WOODWARD

mid the bad news that came out of Baton Rouge during the recent legislative session, there was some good news for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. Lawmakers passed several bills that increase penalties against abusers and provide stronger protections for victims. We hope Gov. Bobby Jindal will sign them all. State Rep. Helena Moreno’s House Bill 842 expands the definition of “household member” so that victims now include anyone formerly living in the household, and it adds “written messages” to the list of acts that constitute the crime of stalking. The bill also significantly increases penalties for violations of protective orders and provides that anyone arrested for domestic abuse battery will be fingerprinted, which allows for better tracking of repeat offenders. House Bills 143 and 835 address the problem of sexual assault victims being billed for rape examinations by dedicating several sources of funds for those examinations. “This sexual assault legislation was the most difficult and comprehensive package of bills that I have ever tackled,” Moreno told Gambit. “Problems have persisted on so many levels throughout the state for so long, it took months of work with stakeholders just to uncover all the issues that needed to be corrected. … I hope this will lead to major reform so that victims can receive the care and treatment they deserve.” State Sen. Sharon Weston Broome’s Senate Bill 174 significantly expands protections for renters who are victims of domestic violence and subsequently face eviction. This measure appeared dead at one point, but United Way of Southeast Louisiana Public Policy Committee Chairwoman Kim Sport helped revive it by striking a compromise with landlords. Among other things, the bill allows landlords to evict abusers immediately — but a landlord cannot refuse to lease or renew a

lease simply because a tenant is a victim of domestic abuse. The bill applies only to apartment houses with four or more units, but it is a milestone for victims of domestic abuse. State Sen. J.P. Morrell’s legislative package included sweeping reforms in sexual assault legislation, particularly on college campuses. He wrote resolutions creating a task force to study how campuses respond to and discipline sexual assault, requiring the Council on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) to update sexual assault response training programs for campus police, and mandating that criminal justice agencies (including campus police) send annual reports to the Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Criminal Justice. The reports must include all available information about rape kits — particularly how many have been tested and remain to be tested. Elsewhere, lawmakers passed bills allowing an immediate divorce for victims of physical or sexual abuse or those who have had a protective order issued during a marriage. In addition, judges may now make abusers pay all attorney fees and costs in such actions for immediate divorce. The biggest disappointment for advocates of domestic abuse victims was the National Rifle Association’s staunch (and successful) opposition to provisions that would take away firearms from many domestic abusers and stalkers. As Sport noted, such provisions would undoubtedly save lives — but the NRA’s political influence trumped those concerns. We hope future efforts on behalf of victims will yield even better results.

When it comes to musical acts, they don’t get much bigger than Elvis Presley, though when he performed at the lakefront he wasn’t yet “The King” of rock ’n’ roll. Presley performed in 1955 as part of a “Hillbilly Jamboree” promoted by WBOK Radio, which at the time featured country music. Presley returned to the beach in 1956 for another performance. Other acts from the 1950s and ’60s included Frankie Avalon, Fabian, the Everly Brothers, the Big Bopper and Eric Burdon and the Animals. In the closing years, 1980s headliners came from country music, including Hank Williams Jr. and Johnny Paycheck. The park closed on Labor Day 1983, and its final show came three weeks later. A benefit for the Contemporary Arts Center called “The Last Ride” was held on Sept. 24, 1983. It featured an all-star lineup: Fats Domino, The Drifters, Irma Thomas, Frankie Ford and Bobby Cure.

his month marks the 70th anniversary of the first time the name Peter Finney appeared in print in a New Orleans newspaper. The legendary sports journalist began his career at the New Orleans States as a 17-year-old freelancer on June 22, 1945, right after he graduated from Jesuit High School. He covered American Legion baseball that summer (with a salary of $20 per week) before enrolling at Loyola University. During his career, Finney covered decades of important and memorable sports stories. The Nov. 1, 1966 newspaper that trumpeted the arrival of the New Orleans Saints franchise featured a story by Finney, as did the 2010 paper when the team won its first Super Bowl. He was best known for writing about 15,000 columns for what became the States-Item and then The Times-Picayune. He has retired from the newspaper, but he still is writing. With help from his son, Peter Finney Jr., the elder Finney is working on a book of some of his best columns, The Best of Peter Finney: A Walk Through Sports History, which is scheduled to be published next spring by LSU Press.

About this time of year, things would kick into high gear at Pontchartrain Beach, the amusement park and swimming spot that entertained many New Orleanians every summer. Though that area of the lakefront was home to an amusement area since the 1920s, the park fondly remembered by my generation opened 76 years ago on June 18, 1939. Pontchartrain Beach was owned and operated by the Batt family, which today includes actor Bryan Batt and businessman and former City Councilman Jay Batt. While the amusement park was best known as home to rides such as the Zephyr, Ragin’ Cajun and Wild Maus, it also hosted entertainers who performed on the Pontchartrain Beach stage — or above it, in the case of the first headliners. They were The Three Milos, an act described in The Times-Picayune as “two girls and a man who play on ladders and do stunts on pieces of wire and rope.” Many other daredevil acts appeared at the park over the years, as well as animal acts and circus performers.

The Drifters were among a slate of performers who played at the last concert at Pontchartrain Beach.

At the Laura Simon Nelson Galleries (400 Chartres St.), find an entire exhibit dedicated to printed views of 19th-century New Orleans, complete with local insignias that celebrate the illustrations that depicted the city long before mass-media photography was in use. Both the Nelson galleries and the Royal Street gallery offer free admission.

EATS & DRINKS

ometimes — especially the end of the month when rent is almost due and you may be stretched extra thin — dining out isn’t really an option. But you need to eat … and you’d still like to have a drink or two, right? New Orleans has a decent selection of bars that solve this dilemma, where free food (and often music) accompany the purchase of a beer. Here’s a list of places with few to no strings attached: Have a seat at the bar, order a drink and free food will soon come your way.

THE happiest HOURS

Tucked away on a sleepy block of Bienville Street near New Orleans City Park, Mick’s Irish Pub (4801 Bienville St., 504-482-9113) serves weekly food specials at least three days a week, sometimes more. Long-standing favorites include free red beans and rice on Mondays, hot dogs and chili on Tuesdays and pasta on Thursdays. While the red beans special starts around 5 p.m., the other weekday offerings usually get going around 1 p.m. and last until the food runs out.

Free FOOD AND TUNES A popular hangout during New Orleans Saints games, the casual Superdomeadjacent bar Handsome Willy’s (218 S. Robertson St., 504-460-7365; www. handsomewillys.com) serves free food every Friday year-round. From 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., the bar’s “Funk & Crunk” party features music from a local DJ and free food, often tacos or nachos.

Just steps off Bourbon Street, Orleans Grapevine (720 Orleans Ave., 504-523-1930; www.orleansgrapevine. com) features one of the city’s more unusual happy hour specials. Every day from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. to midnight, the bar serves complimentary slices of bacon to patrons at the bar, usually about three pieces per drink order. The same happy hour features a $5 specialty cocktail and four selected wines for $5 a glass or $18 for the bottle. It’s no secret that Twelve Mile Limit (500 S. Telemachus St., 504-488-8114; www.facebook.com/twelve.mile.limit) is the place to be on Monday nights. Mid-City dwellers in the know pack this neighborhood bar on the corner of Baudin and Telemachus streets, where two free family meal services start at 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. Past dinners have included meatball sandwiches, fried chicken, pizza, jambalaya and lasagna. Show up early; the food goes quickly.

While New Orleans is no stranger to cheap deals on bivalves, nothing beats free oysters. Every Friday at Le Bon Temps Roule (4801 Magazine St., 504-895-8117) beginning at 7 p.m., oysters are shucked and passed out for free. A local pianist provides entertainment, and the scene is known to get boisterous. The oysters tend to run out around 9 p.m., so show up early and don’t forget to tip your shucker.

Mid-City watering hole Banks Street Bar & Grill (4401 Banks St., 504-486-0258; www.banksstreetbarandgrill.com) features three nights of free food and live music, and there’s never a cover charge. On Mondays, there’s live piano music, free red beans and rice and $3 shots of Jameson all night. Wednesday evenings, local bluesrock band Major Bacon holds court and free BLTs are offered. On Sundays, also known as “Spaghetti Western” night, the bar doles out free spaghetti while Ron Hostream and the Mid City Drifters provide the soundtrack. Tip: Come wearing cowboy boots or a cowboy hat and your next round is on the bar. If you’ve got $10 to spend, that will buy you a cover charge, live music and free food at a couple of local clubs. Thursday night at Vaughan’s (4229 Dauphine St., 504-947-5562) features free red beans and rice at the popular Bywater bar, plus music till the wee hours from Corey Henry & the Treme Funktet. On Wednesday nights at the Candlelight Lounge (925 N. Robertson St., 504-525-4748) the Treme Brass Band holds court. Despite the cover, drinks here are relatively cheap and there’s always some type of free food, usually a huge pot of red beans or jambalaya. Be prepared for a packed house and dancing.

Highly rec’d • The New Orleans Recreation Development Commission’s (NORDC) Fit NOLA Parks program offers free, all-ages exercise classes at parks across the city. Check www.nola.gov/ nordc/fit-nola-parks for the summer schedule, which includes activities like dance, hula hooping and fitness boot camp at six different parks. Also look for amenities offered year-round at NORDC recreation centers; most have indoor basketball courts and some have pools, exercise equipment and fitness and dance classes.

#Runcrew • Running outside is always free, but it’s more fun with a group. The November Project (www.facebook.com/ novprojectno) is a national network of workout clubs whose motto is “just show up.” You can catch the New Orleans group doing early-morning stair repeats at the Superdome and pushups at the lakefront. Local athletic outfitters Varsity Sports (3450 Magazine St., 504-899-4144; www. varsityrunning.com) and Louisiana Running Company (4153 Canal St., 504-304-4762; www.louisianarunning. com) also sponsor popular running clubs that are open to all. • If you yearn to pin on a numbered bib, the New Orleans Track Club (www.runnotc.org) sponsors a “Summer Series” of 2-mile races at the City Park Festival Grounds that are just $5 for non-members.

Cross the bridge and/or parish line to visit these two granddaddies of thrift: The Red, White & Blue (605 Lapalco Blvd., Gretna, 504-347-1512; 5278 Jefferson Highway, 504-733-8066; www. redwhiteandbluethriftstore.com) and Thrift City USA (601 Terry Parkway., Suite 18, Gretna, 504-363-0006).

Burgundy Picture House 4117 Burgundy St.; www.picturehousenola.com/screenings. Free screenings every other Tuesday, weather permitting. Doors open at 8 p.m., movie at 8:30 p.m. The outdoor Bywater screening space, which offers free, biweekly presentations of cutting-edge, art house and foreign films, $1 beers (or BYOB) and food by Hey Y’all Catering, has a reputation for idiosyncratic programming in addition to its easygoing vibe, and this summer’s tribute to documentarian Frederick Wiseman is no exception. A pioneer of the fly-on-the-wall style critics often label “direct cinema” — a term Wiseman calls “horrible” — the filmmaker focuses on the intersection of the individual and the institutions in which they operate, from hospitals for the criminally insane (Titicut Follies) to New England port cities (Belfast, Maine). The fourth and final film in Burgundy Picture House’s Wiseman series, 1973’s devastating Juvenile Court, screens June 23.

At $7 apiece, tickets are more affordable than the average multiplex, but the real value of Shotgun is its commitment to screening rarities old and new at the highest standards of film and digital projection. In addition to the upcoming series “Summer Camp” (June 25-26) and “Jeff Goldblum Must Go Faster” (July 9-10), the latter of which includes a well-timed showing of the original Jurassic Park, Shotgun Cinema’s newest venture is the inaugural “True Orleans” (Aug. 14-16). Sponsored by WWNO-FM, the documentary film festival will showcase feature-length and short documentaries as well as panels and workshops about the art of nonfiction. The full schedule has yet to be announced, but Shotgun already has booked the New Orleans premiere of the Sundance Film Festival sensation (T)ERROR, with filmmakers Lyric R.

STREAMING So you don’t have an HBO GO password? Hoopla is free. BY KE V IN ALLMAN

treaming is great — but not everyone has the cash for a monthly subscription to Netflix, Hulu Plus, HBO Now or Amazon Prime (or access to an HBO GO password). But if you have a New Orleans Public Library (NOPL) card, you have Hoopla (www. hoopladigital.com), a free streaming service that offers movies, TV shows, audiobooks, music and e-books for library patrons. Since launching Hoopla last August, NOPL has streamed more than 8,000 titles, according to NOPL spokesman John Marc Sharpe. “You can listen to music for one week, audiobooks for three weeks and watch movies for three days before they are automatically returned,” Sharpe says. Hoopla may not have the latest titles (though it did offer the recent Kristen Wiig comedy Welcome to Me at the same time it was in theaters), but a quick look at the movie offerings includes Django Unchained, Silver Linings Playbook and other acclaimed titles of relatively recent vintage. Cardholders can sort movies by genre (including “independent cinema”). TV offerings include Ken Burns’ 10-part documentary Jazz, as well as other PBS and National Geographic programs, yoga and workout videos and more. “We had a patron tell us they’ve begun taking yoga classes because they were able to stream Yoga for Beginners videos and really enjoyed it,” Sharpe says. Audiobooks include Orange is the New Black and The Hunger Games, along with romance, kids’ and young adult books, mystery/ suspense and urban fiction. Among the musical selections are albums by Dr. John, Nicki Minaj and the Grateful Dead, as well as pop, country, soundtracks and musicals. Music titles can be sorted by decade. (Hoopla began loaning comic books in May, but Sharpe says NOPL isn’t offering that part of the service.) To begin using Hoopla, go to www.neworleanspubliclibrary.org and click “Downloadables” on the home page. From there, you can go to the Hoopla site, enter your library card number and PIN and begin browsing and downloading titles. You can stream titles in nearly any browser provided you have an Internet connection, or download the Hoopla app for your tablet or smartphone. Borrowers are limited to 10 Hoopla titles per month. When a title is due back, it disappears from your device — no need to remember to return. That’s one other advantage to free streaming. “No late fees,” Sharpe says, “which our patrons really like.”

One need not know 1080p projection from 35-millimeter film to participate, however.

Situated on land that once housed a grocery store and a Louisiana transit location, it’s been a bowling alley since 1963. “I put the first brick in this building with my grandfather,” says Chuck Ferrara, who owns the business with his wife Gwen Ferrara and partner Edward Guidry. After an 18-year period of traveling and working in other businesses, Ferrara returned to Colonial Bowling Center in 1996. Younger family members often work at the bowling alley for their first jobs. The Ferraras stress that they consider everyone who works for them family, whether they’re genetically related or not. The Ferraras take pride in making the center a safe place to host summer camp groups, parties and bowling leagues. The center also caters to people with disabilities. Ferarra’s cousin, who has muscular dystrophy, inspired him to make the venue more inclusive and ADA compliant. “We used to have a pit area, a step down. We eliminated all of that,” Ferrara says. “Everything that we have is geared toward special needs groups.” Colonial Bowling Center hosts the regional Special and Senior Olympics bowling qualifiers. It also has a league specifically designed for bowlers with special needs, which brings in groups from all over southeast Louisiana. “It’s rewarding to have them here,” Ferrara says. “They enjoy it so much.” The Ferraras recently updated their menu with the help of chef Michael Auglair. “[It was about asking] what do the clients here want?” Auglair says.

The new, larger space on the corner of Royal Street and Elysian Fields Avenue is in a newly renovated historic building with exposed brick walls and tall windows that shower the dining room with light. While the old location was BYOB, the new space has a liquor license and a full bar.

There is a $5 corkage fee for diners who bring their own wine. The new location will feature live music on weekends, says Lee Knight, who handles the restaurant’s marketing. Knight says the lunch and dinner menus closely mirror those of the SukhoThai location (4519 Magazine St., 504-373-6471) in Uptown. “One thing about our downtown location is that the clientele just always seems to like their food a little bit spicier than at the Uptown restaurant,” Knight says. “So our food here reflects that.” SukhoThai is open for lunch and dinner Tuesday through Sunday. • Nine Roses Cafe (620 Conti St., 504-324-9450; www.facebook.com/ ninerosescafe), the spinoff of Gretna Vietnamese and Chinese Hoa Hong/ Nine Roses (1100 Stephens St., 504366-7665; www.ninerosesrestaurant. com), now is open across the street from the Louisiana Supreme Court building in the French Quarter.

he genius of hand pies is not a wellkept secret. From British pasties to Jamaican meat patties, most cuisines have at least one version in their repertoire — evidence of the power pastry dough holds when used as a vehicle for savory and sweet fillings. Louisiana is no stranger to the portable phenomenon: Crescent-shaped Natchitoches meat pies and fried Hubig’s desserts are practically woven into the fabric of the state. With the opening of District: Hand Pie & Coffee Bar, owner Chris Audler (who also co-owns District Donuts.Sliders.Brew) and his team are pushing the pie envelope: savory fillings are topped with julienned fruit and sweet glazes, and whole eggs are baked into tiny dough pockets disguised as dumplings or muffins. The pies here, most of which are made with a butter and cream cheese shortcrust, have perfected the dough/filling relationship: The dough is flaky and buttery and the fillings, while generously portioned, manage to stay in place without seeping out or making a mess. The defining feature of the hand pie — its portability — is not always successful here. Some of the toppings make for awkward to-go accompaniments, while the tiny shop seems designed for a grab-and-go clientele — there only is outdoor seating, and it’s sparse. To deal with the issue, the kitchen provides separate containers with boxes that are labeled with instructions for those taking their pies on the road. Savory pies take soft cues from their Australian and British counterparts, which are typically game-forward, meat-heavy vessels. Slow-cooked, pulled duck is tossed with guava paste, and the pie is topped with thin slices of apple, jalapeno and mint. Crisp and slightly spicy, the topping provides a sharpness that helps cut the richness of the duck. Rabbit gets cooked in sauce piquante — a method popular in wild game preparations — and, accompanied by savory brown rice pudding and baby carrots. The pastry has a warming, deeply gamey quality and feels akin to its cold-weather cousin, the pot pie. A pie filled with boudin and sweet potatoes treads the line between sweet and savory. The topping is not for the sugar-averse: a bruleed marshmallow and candied pecan mixture makes this pie reminiscent of indulgent holiday fare. Breakfast pies are roughly the shape and size of their Mexican sister, the empanada, and on most days, the bakers stock meat and vegetarian

Jeanette Bell, who owns and operates Bell Floricultural Services, has been selling her locally grown herbs and flowers for more than 35 years. Her customers include chefs and home cooks, and she recently made her produce available via the online farmers market Good Eggs. On most mornings, Bell tends her 9,000-square-foot garden in Central City, and she also operates two gardens in the Lower 9th Ward and one in Hazlehurst, Mississippi. Bell spoke with Gambit about how she got started and how home cooks can start their own herb gardens.

How did you get started?

Bell: I’ve been inside a garden since I was a little child. I grew up doing this and I just feel it’s where I belong. Now I grow herbs that I sell to Mariza and to Good Eggs. I grow Italian sweet basil, purple basil, lemon verbena, lemon balm, rosemary, tarragon, sage, thyme, fresh bay leaves and probably 14 different types of mint. I grow some edible flowers, too. Here in New Orleans, we are lucky that we can grow pretty much everything that we want to grow. My goal is not to sell quantity but to sell quality and have people notice the difference.

What’s the difference between using locally grown herbs as opposed to store-bought herbs from somewhere else?

B: I think that chefs are realizing that locally grown herbs give a different flavor to the plate as opposed to something that’s been in a refrigerated truck for a week or 10 days. The things that I grow here, they’re cut, they’re placed in a bag and they’re delivered to the restaurant, so they’re delivered within four hours from when they are cut, which means that there’s a different flavor level — it just tastes so much better. It’s important for people to know that they aren’t at the mercy of California and South America for everything. Maybe avocados, but for things like rosemary or basil or mint, for example, there’s no reason to buy something that’s been in the truck for a week. I grow fresh bay leaves, too. I think it’s important for people to realize when they’re following these old Cajun recipes that they were using fresh bay leaves, not the dried kind. And rosemary chicken — when it’s made with fresh rosemary, you just can’t believe how delicious it is.

Do you have tips for novice growers?

B: The easiest and most important way for someone to start is to make sure you’re using good seeds. I use Johnny’s Selected Seeds. They’re from New Orleans and [the company will] give you the information you need to know and will tell you whether the seeds you’re buying are organic or not. I think everyone who lives in New Orleans should grow citrus and pomegranate. Everyone should have a pomegranate in their yard. You won’t know this from buying it in the store, but if you let it get completely ripe on the tree, the seeds are easier to eat, because they’ll be softer. When you buy them in the store, they’re pretty tough. But let them ripen on the tree? Oh, they’re delicious. For citrus, I grow them in containers. Just because you are renting — maybe you don’t have a lot of space — that doesn’t mean that you can’t grow citrus. I use recycled or damaged tree containers that the landscape companies can’t reuse. But you could use any type of large container or box. It also helps with the issues of contaminated soil – with the container, you know the soil that is going in there. You can put compost in there and you don’t have the weed issues that you would if you were planting in a bed. — HELEN FREUND

More than 1,000 people attended the event on June 13, and most of the 37 participating breweries were from Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and Missouri.

2012 Dona Paula Black Edition Red Blend MENDOZA, ARGENTINA RETAIL $15

Many Argentine wineries combine the nation’s supple, smooth malbec grapes with bonarda, tannat and one or more of the grapes commonly used in Bordeaux blends. Founded in 1990, Dona Paula produces 97 percent of the grapes used in its widely respected wines, which it exports to 60 countries. The estate is situated in Lujan de Cuyo, a sub-region of Argentina’s largest viticultural area. The hot, arid climate is moderated by the region’s high altitude — averaging about 3,300 feet above sea level. This bottling brings together malbec (60 percent), cabernet sauvignon (37 percent) and petit verdot (3 percent). The winery’s modern fermentation method tames these bold-flavored grapes and delivers a full-bodied wine with smooth tannins and 14.1 percent alcohol. In the glass, it has aromas of plum, dark berries and spice. On the palete, taste currants, black cherry, pepper, earthiness and hints of vanilla. Drink it with slow-cooked beef short ribs, rare steaks and grilled or barbecued meats. Buy it at: Cost Plus World Market. — BRENDA MAITLAND Email Brenda Maitland at winediva1@bellsouth.net

Cattle call

Temple Grandin, autism activist and champion of humane livestock handling practices, will deliver the keynote address at the Farm to Table International (www. f2t-int.com) conference in New Orleans Aug. 9. The conference explores cultivation, consumption and distribution practices

for food and drink. Speakers include leaders in the farm-to-table movement and topics range from urban farming methods to sourcing local foods and enhancing sustainability. Grandin, who is autistic, has worked as a consultant to the livestock industry, where she promotes humane livestock handling processes. Grandin is a professor of animal science at Colorado State University and is considered an expert on the behavior of cattle; she says her interest stems from her own experiences of feeling anxious and threatened by her surroundings. After studying cattle behavior — watching how animals reacted and moved when prompted by ranchers and their responses to objects and light — Grandin designed curved cattle corrals, intended to reduce stress and panic in the animals when they are being led to slaughter. Grandin’s designs are used in cattle facilities across the U.S. and she consults for food giants such as Burger King and McDonald’s. The conference runs Aug. 8-10 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. Grandin speaks at 3:30 p.m. Aug 9. — HELEN FREUND

Meandering and magnificent, Laura Marling’s music defies all expectations: rooted in both the ’60s U.K. folk revival of Bert Jansch and ’70s Laurel Canyon singer/ songwriter requiem of Joni Mitchell, pouring out of a singular 25-year-old figure with translucent skin, sculpted features and white-blond locks who happens to belong to the English gentry (her father, a recording engineer, is the fifth Marling Baronet). Laura was 17 when she recorded Laura Marling JUNE her debut Alas, I Cannot Swim, a 9 p.m. Tuesday precious, precocious introduction to an unmistakable talent; it was One Eyed Jacks, nominated for the 2008 Mercury 615 Toulouse St. Prize, awarded annually to the best (504) 569-8361 album in the British Isles, a spot she now has practically reserved www.oneeyedjacks.net for her (2010 follow-up I Speak Because I Can and 2013 blossoming Once I Was an Eagle both received the same honor). Feel free to call a fourth for Short Movie (Ribbon Music), her most mystical, slippery platter to date. Parts of it are awash in Nick Drake’s pink moonlight, wafting in and out like a scent that triggers a memory; others are nigh aggressive, Marling’s voice changing form from solid one minute to fluid or gaseous the next. “Strange” finds her talking somersaults over a very Led Zeppelin III hard strum, intonation gymnastics that make you wish she voiced every audiobook ever. Two tracks later comes the spidery, fingerpicked “Easy,” and a rich vocal spread thick as French butter; one track after that, the female-fronted Dire Straits of “Gurdjieff’s Daughter.” “I’m going back east, where I belong,” the Los Angeles transplant sings on “How Can I.” Short Movie proves she can go where she pleases. Hestina opens. Tickets $15 in advance, $18 at the door. — NOAH BONAPARTE PAIS

REVIEW

Inside Out

It was easy to view The Walt Disney Company’s 2006 acquisition of Pixar Animation Studios with a deeply cynical eye. Pixar’s technical innovations (as seen in early features Toy Story and A Bug’s Life) brought animation into the digital age, but it Inside Out was the company’s collaborative culture and focus Directed on story and character that immediately set it apart. by Pete Docter By comparison, the animated films made by Disney in that era seemed designed for marketing tie-ins Starring Amy Poehler, and theme-park consumption. The first two Pixar Phyllis Smith, Lewis films begun after the Disney acquisition, 2011’s Cars Black, Bill Hader and 2 and 2012’s Brave (it takes four to seven years to Mindy Kaling develop and produce a Pixar film), didn’t rank with Wide release Pixar’s best and left some observers wondering if the studio’s greatest work was behind it. Those concerns are brushed aside by Inside Out, an instant classic among animated films and a new creative peak for Pixar. The film is about feelings: much of the action takes place inside the mind of an 11-year-old girl named Riley as characters named Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust man the controls in the Headquarters of her fragile pre-adolescent psyche. It’s a cliche that the best animated movies work on multiple levels, speaking to kids and adults simultaneously. Inside Out fulfills that promise, but it also transcends age divisions with a story that explores what it means to be human. The external, “real world” story is simple. Riley (Kaitlyn Dias) must contend with change and loss after her Mom (Diane Lane) and Dad (Kyle MacLachlan) uproot the family’s cozy life in Minnesota and move to San Francisco. It’s an understandably busy time for those working inside Riley’s mind, where Joy has always been in charge of Riley’s sunny disposition. When Joy (Amy Poehler) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith) are accidentally transported to the far reaches of Riley’s mind, they must find a way home to Headquarters before it’s too late. Anger (Lewis Black), Fear (Bill Hader) and Disgust (Mindy Kaling) have no clue how to steer a human being. That journey is where Inside Out finds its way. To escape the endless halls of long-term memory, Joy and Sadness make their way through the shadowy world of the Subconscious, the full-functioning movie studio of Dream Productions, the still-under-construction Abstract Thought and various additional marvels of digital animation. In the hands of director and co-writer Pete Docter (who also was responsible for Pixar’s other masterwork, 2009’s Up), the neighborhoods of Riley’s mind are wildly imagined and beautifully realized. What happens in Abstract Thought alone is worth the price of a movie ticket. Also not to be missed are Inside Out’s closing credits, where the mind control-centers of many other characters — human or not — are put on display. (Why are cats so crazy? The answer finally is revealed.) You’ll also find that the film is dedicated to “our kids,” along with a simple plea that they “never grow up.” Inside Out is told from a preteen’s perspective, but it’s the parents who give the film a very large dose of soul. — KEN KORMAN In German with German subtitles. 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.

REVIEW

Orientalism: Taking and Making

What a difference a century or so makes. For many 19th-century European poets and painters, Asia and Arabia were hotbeds of exotica epitomized by dashing Moorish warriors, hookah-puffing pashas and scantily clad harem girls at a time when Europe was far more restrained. But thanks to al Qaeda, the Taliban and the Islamic State, those fabled lands now bristle with militants who carry on like homicidal church ladies trying to stomp dancing, drinking and fun out of existence. The Orientalist fantasies of 19th-century European romantics were just that — European fantasies — but beyond Orientalism: Taking THRU seducing generations with titillating exoticism, they also helped and Making: Western DEC reinforce Europe’s colonial assertions of “moral superiority” art influenced by over those “sullen peoples, half-devil and half-child,” as Rudyard North African and Kipling described them in his poem White Man’s Burden. Asian cultures The New Orleans Museum of Art long has had some splendid examples in its collection, but this small exhibit for the first New Orleans Museum time places these works in a historically realistic context while of Art showcasing their exuberance. Race heightens the tension in City Park, 1 Collins C. Alexandre-Marie Colin’s spectacular Othello and Desdemona Diboll Circle (pictured) painting of the swarthy Moorish general fleeing his beloved’s bed after being tricked into killing her, yet it’s clearly (504) 658-4100 high tragedy in the grand manner. The French master of the www.noma.org genre was Jean-Leon Gerome, whose atmospheric paintings of snake charmers and some Turkish Bashi-Bazouk Mercenary Soldiers Playing Chess imbue his subjects with an almost hypnotic aura of intrigue, but the German romantics were no slouches, and Adolf Schreyer’s nearby Charge of Arabs painting of Bedouin tribesmen on horseback depicts men and horses in perfect harmony in a classic example of the European notion of “the noble savage.” The British are represented by two photographs of sites damaged during the 1857 Sepoy Rebellion in India. Both look surprisingly staid, and though 2,000 rebels were massacred at one site, you have to look twice to notice the skulls and bones the typically tidy Brits left behind as a warning to others. — D.

REVIEW

Brothers From the Bottom

Four years after Hurricane Katrina, Trey moves into the house next to his older brother Chris. Trey, who’s been practicing law in New York City, sees the neighborhood where he grew up as a business opportunity for what he calls “revitalization” of the Brothers From JUNE city. Chris opposes his brother’s the Bottom venture, and their battle over 8 p.m. Fri.; 3 p.m. & 8 p.m. gentrification widens an already Sat.; 2 p.m. & 7 p.m. Sun. large family rift in Brothers from the Bottom at NOCCA’s Lupin Hall. Lupin Hall, NOCCA Jackie Alexander wrote and 2800 Chartres St. directed Brothers, which debuted at Brooklyn’s Billie Holiday Theatre, (504) 940-2800 and this production features the www.nocca.com same cast, including Wendell www.thebillieholiday.org Pierce (The Wire, Treme) and Kevin Mambo (Guiding Light, Fela!). Trey (Wendell Franklin) returns to New Orleans with his wife Lindsey (Megan Robinson) to assist his friend and business colleague James (Thaddeus Daniels). The men work for a group that is buying homes to make room for a proposed medical complex in the neighborhood. Trey believes the project will benefit the community, and Chris (Pierce) thinks the change will destroy it. Franklin’s initially detached approach to his character, who constantly says he dislikes New Orleans, is crucial to making Trey believable. The show hinges on Trey’s arc, and Franklin delivers an emotional performance. Lindsey is the only character not from the neighborhood, and she voices questions that audience members might have about the changes. Robinson is charming in the quirky role, which includes impromptu operatic singing. Chris unwittingly finds himself in a pivotal position in the debate, and Pierce brings passion and complexity to the role. He goes from flirting with his wife one moment to a ferocious defense of his neighborhood the next. Chris’ relationship with his wife Malika (Toccarra Cash) is worthy of a sitcom in the way they support and challenge each other. Pierce and Cash share playful energy, and Cash brings warmth and wit to the show. The two brothers often engage in intense yelling matches, but the play balances the drama with humor. Lou (Mambo) is always at Chris’ house sitting on the porch or playing spades. He’s full of pithy one-liners, especially about Malika’s cooking. Mambo’s comedic timing and physical delivery are brilliant. Politically inclined dramas sometimes can beat the audience over the head with a message, but this show masterfully blends the political with the personal to make the characters’ emotional stakes feel real. The family literally shares a house divided. They share a wall, and even when mad at each other, they share a pot of red beans. In recounting their shared history, they address the city’s post-Katrina reality through the lens of family bonds. Brothers from the Bottom is a vital piece of theater because it focuses on the people and neighborhoods affected by gentrification. The show engages a tough conversation while imparting a strong message of hope and fellowship. — TYLER GILLESPIE

JOB GURU

Dear New Orleans Job Guru, “I have sent my résumé to HR departments at dozens of companies throughout the area and I have yet to get a decent response or good interview. Why is it this hard to find a job?” — Martin L., New Orleans, LA

Dear Martin, Martin, it is a good thing that you are being proactive and not waiting around to simply apply for existing job ads. The latest advice is that applying to advertised or posted jobs is one of the least effective ways to find a new position. For one thing, Grant Cooper when you apply to an advertised job, you are setting yourself up to be just one of dozens of job applicants who are seeking the same position. Phil Baker, a best-selling author of job search books stated, “Your resume is very much like a lottery ticket. Estimates are that fewer than 1% of resumes actually land job interviews.” In past columns, I have reminded Gambit readers that most large to mid-range companies now use digital software programs to screen out résumés. I have also written about the rules of how these digital programs discard most résumés. However, even in the best of circumstances, applying to posted jobs is still a long shot for all but the most highly accomplished candidates. Does that mean that you should avoid applying to posted jobs? Absolutely not, but you definitely shouldn’t put all of your eggs in that basket. Also, keep in mind that HR departments at many companies represent the “gatekeepers” in the organization. So, unless you are a super-VIP candidate, the saying that “HR is where résumés go to die…” is often the truth. I suggest that you might want to adjust your strategy and first do some research. Think about the job you’d like to compete for within the company, and then explore who you would report to if you were hired? The VP Sales or Sales Director, the Regional Manager, or another title? Once you determine that, use all available resources, including online, Googling, the company website, or networking with friends and colleagues, to get the name and email address of the intended contact. Before simply zapping off a résumé or asking if there are any openings (they’ll generally say no even if there are jobs available), look for some common ground… maybe you both attended the same college or know someone in common, or perhaps you worked at another company together years ago. How would you find these things out? In addition to normal online research and asking friends, you can always check LinkedIn and other social media sites. Often, the person you are seeking out will have a social media presence that reveals this information. Here is an example of how to reach out. “Dear Mr. Smith, I noticed your profile on LinkedIn and I see we both attended LSU… I am totally impressed by your work at XYZ Company and the exciting changes you are implementing. I am currently exploring opportunities to leverage my skills and experience to work with a leader in the industry. I’ve done some initial research on the trends, and I’d love to get together for coffee or meet for a few minutes to introduce myself and learn more about your ideas, as well as any advice you may have for me going forward. Of course, I’ll bring a copy of my résumé for your input.” New Orleans Job Guru is New Orleans native Grant Cooper. President of Strategic Résumés®, Grant has ranked in the Top 2% of 340 LinkedIn National Résumé Writing Experts worldwide, and has assisted the U.S. Air Force, Kinko’s, the Louisiana Dept. of Labor, the City of New Orleans, NFL/NBA players & coaches, as well as universities, regional banks, celebrities, and major corporations.
