SEVEN THINGS TO DO IN SEVEN DAYS

Belle and BBQ

Windhand TUE. OCT. 9 | October’s Eternal Return transcends Windhand’s stoner doom metal with a pungent collection of grunge-inspired melodies paired with riffs forged in dank caves and coated in a thick psychedelic frost. Satan’s Satyrs opens at 10 p.m. at Gasa Gasa.

Samantha Fish performs at Crescent City Blues and BBQ Festival BY WILL COVIELLO Guitarist Samantha Fish has played local festivals since moving to New Orleans in early 2017. But following the release of two albums last year, she’s spent a lot of time on tour. Listeners who have caught her local appearances may have noticed the difference between her live show and those two albums. “On albums, I am not going to approach a song like it’s a vehicle for a guitar solo,” she says. “I may have done that in the past. I give a song the treatment it deserves. If the song doesn’t call for a burning guitar solo, I’m not going to put one in.” But in live shows, blazing solos have earned her a reputation, including in live performances with blues legends such as Buddy Guy. Fish headlines the Crescent City Blues and BBQ Festival Friday before heading out on tour. Fish notes that the concepts for her two 2017 albums were different. She recorded Chills & Fever in Detroit, backed by the Detroit Cobras with the addition of some horn players from New Orleans. “Chills & Fever was a concept record from the get-go,” Fish says. “(It was recorded with) a rock band with old soul and R&B (influences) and New Orleans horn players. They’re songs from the ’50s and ’60s that weren’t hits at the time, more B-sides, but they had good hooks and we wanted to remake them. We recorded at the 45 Factory (Recording Studio) with all vintage gear — all analog — so from top-to-bottom it has a ’60s kind of feel.” Belle of the West is marked by more spare, Mississippi Hill Country blues sounds. She recorded it with Luther Dickinson of the North Mississippi Allstars at Zebra Ranch studio in Hernando, Mississippi. “We have Luther Dickinson producing and playing on it,” as well as Lightnin’ Malcolm and Jimbo Mathus, Fish says. “The people recording the album were so bluesy. I was recording melodies I thought up in my head, and this is the way they came out.” Fish says her career got on track

TUE. & FRI.-SUN. OCT. 9 & 12-14 | On the centennial of Nelson Mandela’s birth, the show celebrates South African history and culture with folk and gumboot dancing, drumming and popular music. Showtimes vary at Mahalia Jackson Theater for the Performing Arts.

Ron White FRI. OCT. 12 | Though he made a name for himself on Jeff Foxworthy’s Blue Collar Comedy tour, Ron “Tater Salad” White is a fan of Scotch, golf and pre-nuptial agreements, as he’s discussed recently in regards to his separation last year. At 8 p.m. at Saenger Theatre.

RuPaul’s Drag Race: Werq the World

with her 2015 album Wild Heart, which she recorded in Shreveport. In May, she was named Contemporary Blues Female Artist of the Year by the Blues Foundation, and she won a couple of blues awards last year as well. “We put out two records and made a lot of noise in the last year,” Fish says. “It’s nice to be recognized, especially by an establishment that so respects pure blues music.” But Fish has not tried to be a blues purist, taking cues from soul and country singers and playing everything from traditional blues songs to hard rock such as Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs.” The lineup at Crescent City Blues and BBQ includes traditional and contemporary artists. Little Freddie King opens the festival at 5:30 p.m. Friday. Saturday features Stevie Ray Vaughan’s older brother Jimmie Vaughan, Shemekia Copeland, the Rev. John Wilkins, Walter “Wolfman” Washington and Mem Shannon & the Membership. Sunday includes Mississippi slide guitarist Kenny Brown, who played with R.L. Burnside and other blues legends. Don Bryant and Percy Wiggins are backed by the Bo-

Brockhampton SAT. OCT. 13 | Iridescence — the 2018 major label debut from the emotionally vulnerable, 15-member, self-described hip-hop “boy band” Brockhampton — blasted the group from out of its precious internet underground to premiere at No. 1 on Billboard. At 9 p.m. at the Orpheum Theater.

C’est What

CITY PULLS OUT OF ELECTRIC SCOOTER PLAN — AT LEAST FOR NOW After several months of deliberation, City Hall is pulling out of a pilot plan to allow electric scooter rentals on the streets of New Orleans. The plan would have created rules and regulations for scooters — which have quickly popped up across the U.S. and been followed by controversy — to legally operate in the city, from creating fee and penalty structures to boundaries and parking regulations. The scooters’ selling point is a “dockless” model, allowing riders to roll up to their destination and rely on a self-locking mechanism allowing them to park anywhere. Three companies — Lime, Bird and Skip — were interested in putting their fleet on New Orleans streets. They argue that scooters close the “first” and “last” mile commute, giving people a quick ride from a parking lot or bus stop to their home or workplace. District C Councilember Kristin Gisleson Palmer heard a pitch from Lime and helped prepare several drafts of a pilot with Mayor LaToya Cantrell’s administration earlier this year. But City Hall isn’t ready to move forward with a legal infrastructure that allows scooters on the streets without first having a supportive infrastructure for bikes and pedestrians and other public transit, according to a spokesperson with Palmer’s office. New Orleans streets and lack of a supportive culture of sharing the road haven’t paved the way for scooters to enter the mix, according to the spokesperson. In a statement, Cantrell said the “potential complications for public safety are too high for us to move forward” with a pilot program. Palmer added that, “In a city that is still working to establish a safe infrastructure and culture for bicycles, introducing hundreds of new small vehicles like the scooters would only serve to complicate these efforts.” Andrew Savage, Lime’s vice president of development, wrote that the company laid off five of its 20 employees staffing its warehouse where scooters would be stored.

Savage also writes that if no action is taken at City Hall within the next month, Lime likely will close its warehouse and lay off its remaining 15 employees. “As a business interested in working in New Orleans we can no longer tolerate the uncertainty caused by the lack of progress toward passage of a pilot program,” the letter says. In a follow-up interview last week, Lime’s Todd O’Boyle told Gambit that though the company is frustrated with the lack of momentum on the pilot, he was hopeful there would be some legislative movement. Palmer’s office hasn’t ruled out that scooters could potentially be introduced to New Orleans, but only on the condition that the city first prioritize transit projects and transit infrastructure for residents relying on public transit and other non-car transportation.

Planning Commission approves report that would limit short-term rentals

After nearly 10 hours of public comment and discussion, the New Orleans City Planning Commission (CPC) unanimously approved recommendations in a staff report that could drastically change the future of short-term rentals in New Orleans. The CPC report recommends getting rid of the current “temporary” rentals category entirely. That type allows people to rent out their properties for up to 90 days a year on platforms such as Airbnb. The CPC staff argued those listings effectively take them off the long-term housing market when the category’s intent was to allow local owners to rent out their homes for up to three months (cumulatively) each year. The report also would replace “accessory” rentals with two categories of rentals that would require an owner or renter to live on-site. Commercial-type rentals would remain but commercial buildings used for STRs would have a cap of 25 percent, or one unit, whichever is greater, that could be used for STRs. Present law has no cap. Those recommendations will be considered by the City Council, which issued a moratorium on new permits and licenses for temporary rentals in May and agreed to wait until the CPC’s report and debate — which likely will continue through 2018 — before making new rules. After a late start on Sept. 25, the CPC heard several hours of public comment before deciding to defer its decision to Oct. 3. The CPC ended up sending the report to the council with only minor additions, including increasing booking fees marked for the city’s affordable housing fund to $10. But those “yes” votes aren’t nec-

essarily an endorsement of the CPC’s staff proposals. During a lengthy public comment period, STR operators argued the new proposals would prevent them from legally using properties they own as STRs if the City Council agrees to limit peoples’ ability to rent out an entire home they don’t live in — or put significant caps on the number of commercial rentals they can operate in a building. “You’ve heard a lot about money and the economy but not much about neighborhoods and the fabric of our neighborhoods here,” said STR critic Harry Shearer, who added that for most New Orleanians, a “house or an apartment isn’t an investment. It’s a place to live.”

Workers’ groups appeal to Council committee to share the wealth — and power New Orleans visitors spent nearly $9 billion in the city in 2017. But few of those dollars support the vast industry that takes care of the more than 18 million visitors who spend them, according to workers groups and culture advocates who are tasking city officials with a “sustainable tourism” model that ensures better wages, health care, fair scheduling and workplace protections from sexual harassment and wage theft. Representatives from Step Up Louisiana, UNITE HERE, the Music and Culture Coalition of New Orleans and Loyola University’s Workplace Justice Project asked the New Orleans City Council’s Economic Development Committee Oct. 2 to consider how city officials can better leverage public dollars to support the thousands of workers they represent. “I do not feel like we can increase the tourism base without offsetting the negative impacts,” said District C Councilwoman Kristin Gisleson Palmer, adding that if benefits to the tourism industry aren’t taking into account its employees’ quality of life, “we have to think whether this industry is really supportive” of its workers. The proposal also calls for improved affordable public transit service that links workers to jobs. Palmer said her “No. 1 priority” is ensuring people who work in the city’s service industry are able to get there, and that they have a safe place to wait for that ride. “We have to re-envision how the city provides services to our workers,” Palmer said. “Humanity and equity for service workers riding the bus, that’s the No. 1 thing we need to talk about.”

Flagging Metairie Keep an eye out next time you drive down Veterans Memorial Boulevard or West Esplanade Avenue — you might see the new official flag of Metairie, which was unveiled last week

by the Jefferson Chamber Young Professionals (JCYP) in celebration of the “greater New Orleans region’s tricentennial anniversary,” the group said in a press release. The Metairie flag features three gold fleurs-de-lis as well as three gold coeurs-de-lis (lily hearts) on a blue and red field bisected by a diagonal white stripe, which the JCYP says signifies “the principles of natural liberty and equal justice guiding a limited, transparent government.” The flag’s motto is ardentibus cordibus floremus (“with ardent hearts, we flourish”). Metairie, of course, is not an incorporated city of its own. The JCYP says it hopes “a Metairie-specific flag will spark a unique sense of place and identity for the Metairie area and its associated Metairie Ridge communities of Jefferson, Elmwood and River Ridge.” The new Metairie flag will be officially raised Nov. 1.

‘Substantial’ a sticking point in ban-the-box legislation After Mayor LaToya Cantrell’s administration introduced some last-minute amendments, the New Orleans City Council deferred a vote on a policy that prevents city contractors from asking about criminal history on job applications. Set for a vote Oct. 3 with unanimous support of the council, the measure would have extended a “ban the box” ordinance like the one that already covers applications for city employment. Council members and advocates that helped craft the legislation argue that the policy ensures applicants are considered for employment on the merits of their skill and experience rather than excluded from consideration because of their criminal history. But the Cantrell administration, which supports the measure’s intent, proposed a later start date of April 1, 2019, changing the wording around enforcement to mandate contractors’ “substantial” compliance — prompting council members to question whether a generous timeline and legally ambiguous wording could end up creating loopholes for noncompliance. “It seems like an end-around,” said Council President Jason Williams, who added sarcastically that “Donald Trump is ‘substantially complying’ with what it means to be a president.” District C Councilwoman Kristin Gisleson Palmer asked the administration to return with amendments with a tighter timeline for implementation, to remove the “substantial” clause and to retain the city’s ability to audit compliance efforts. The council will reconsider the measure at its Oct. 18 meeting.

COMMENTARY

IRVIN MAYFIELD’S TRIAL ON 23 FELONY COUNTS OF MONEY LAUNDERING and federal conspiracy during his tenure as artistic director of the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra (NOJO) has been pushed back to April 29, 2019, giving the famed trumpeter time to build a robust defense. Given a recent audit report by Louisiana Legislative Auditor Daryl Purpera, Mayfield will need every minute of it. Mayfield and his former business partner Ronald Markham, who was president and CEO of NOJO, have been charged with misspending much of the $1.59 million that NOJO received when Mayfield headed the New Orleans Public Library Foundation. Moreover, NOJO was given money from the State of Louisiana to construct the New Orleans Jazz Market, which the auditor found was commingled with other monies. The report is extensive — and damning. For example, the report found that NOJO had no written travel policies, yet performance contracts often had riders specifying Mayfield stay in suites in “a five-star hotel (Ritz-Carlton or equivalent)” and be provided with the use of a chauffeured limousine. Those requirements extended to times when NOJO foot the bill. According to the auditor’s report: “Mr. Mayfield spent seven nights at the New York Ritz-Carlton and incurred $28,023 in lodging and other expenses from October 3-10, 2012,” the report concluded. “NOJO could not provide a performance contract or other documentation to support these expenses, which included a daily room package for $2,696.39 per night ($18,874.73 for seven nights) and $9,149 of incidental expenses. The incidental expenses included $3,594 for ground transportation; $3,080 for restaurant and room service charges; $809 for spa services; $530 for laundry services; $447 for long distance charges; and $689 for other miscellaneous incidentals.” On many of Mayfield’s trips, he stayed at Ritz-Carlton and Four Seasons hotels, while other employees had to make do at more modest lodgings such as Hampton Inns and Doubletree Hotels.

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

Irvin Mayfield plays with Kermit Ruffins and the Barbecue Swingers on the Acura Stage at the 2017 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.

Mayfield also may have run afoul of state law when NOJO accepted a $1.2 million grant from the City of New Orleans to create a musical sculpture garden in Armstrong Park. According to the auditor, “NOJO appears to have used at least $302,163 of the grant funds to pay operating expenses” — specifically, using grant funds to make the orchestra’s payroll. A similar scenario was painted when it came to $1.1 million in state capital outlay funds awarded to NOJO for construction of the New Orleans Jazz Market. The report says only $225,000 of the $1.1 million actually went toward construction. “NOJO’s improper use of capital outlay funds may have violated the Louisiana Constitution and state law,” the auditor concluded. Like all other defendants, Mayfield and Markham are entitled to a legal presumption of innocence, and we make no judgments here as to their alleged criminality. The audit report shows a clear pattern, however, of wasting state and city money — taxpayer money. Equally shameful is the waste of Markham and Mayfield’s talent, which is considerable, along with their reputations as performers and cultural ambassadors for the city and state.

THE FEDERAL MID-TERM ELECTIONS ARE A NONEVENT IN LOUISIANA, but Jefferson Parish has some red-hot school board races. In several of the seven contested board elections, the Nov. 6 primary is another showdown between business interests and the teachers union. Then, of course, there’s the contest for a Kenner seat on the school board. Eight years ago, the Jefferson business establishment backed a majority of the nine-member school board, and that majority began making changes opposed by the union. Four years ago, the national union dumped $450,000 into several board races and recaptured a majority. Later, some of the board members supported by the union in 2014 began siding with business interests. Nothing is ever crystal clear in Jefferson politics. For example, board member Melinda Doucet of Harahan won her first bid for the District 7 seat in 2014 with the union’s support, but she sided with the business folks in voting to oust Superintendent Isaac Joseph. Doucet filed to seek re-election this year but was disqualified for failing to file state income tax returns. Her lone challenger, former football coach Billy North of Harahan, will be the new board member from that district. Elsewhere, incumbent Larry Dale of Metairie won his District 6 seat after he drew no opponent. Dale has been a reliable vote for the business faction. In the Kenner-based District 9 contest, incumbent Sandy Denapolis-Bosarge faces challenger Colleen Winkler. Where other board races might see candidates accusing each other of siding too closely with either business or union forces, in District 9 it’s all about scandalized Parish President Mike Yenni, the former mayor of Kenner who in 2016 was excoriated for sexting a male high school senior a year earlier. (The business community backs Denapolis-Bosarge; the union supports neither.) Although Yenni has not publicly endorsed either candidate, his political troops are lined up behind Winkler, a highly regarded public school principal who happens to be a neighbor of the parish president. Winkler also has hired Yenni’s chief

political consultant, Greg Buisson, to run her campaign. Another wrinkle: Some of Yenni’s one-time political allies — including Kenner Mayor Ben Zahn and Parish Councilman Dominick Impastato — are staunch supporters of Denapolis-Bosarge, who authored the board resolution barring Yenni from public school property after his sexting scandal broke in 2016. Zahn and Impastato since have publicly rebuked Yenni, and Denapolis-Bosarge refused Yenni’s request several months ago to rescind her resolution barring him from school grounds. When Winkler filed to run against Denapolis-Bosarge, the incumbent’s political backers began spreading the word that Winkler is “Yenni’s candidate.” Again, Yenni has issued no endorsement, but neither did he play an official role in the special election for sheriff last spring. He nonetheless was a millstone around the neck of early front-runner John Fortunato, who made the fatal mistake of telling the truth about being a Yenni ally. Less than two weeks later, Fortunato (who also used Buisson as his media consultant) lost a close race to Sheriff Joseph Lopinto. It’s a safe bet we won’t hear Winkler endorsing Yenni for re-election, as Fortunato did, but that won’t stop her opposition from making Yenni an issue. Gotta love Kenner politics.

Hey Blake, When I watch NCIS: New Orleans, I usually can figure out most of the locations where the show is filmed, except for the headquarters in the French Quarter. Where is that building?

Dear reader,

If you’ve walked the streets of the French Quarter looking for the NCIS: New Orleans headquarters, you’ve probably passed it right up. You may have missed it since the building only is used for exterior shots. On the CBS show, the gated carriageway of a building in the 700 block of St. Ann Street leads inside to a squad room, kitchen and courtyard, with an interrogation room in the back and living quarters upstairs. In real life, that carriageway leads to parking spaces for residences on either side. “We thought it’s a great starting point,” production designer Victoria Paul said of the St. Ann location. “There’s a building next to it that has five lovely tall windows and a balcony and a second floor. The ‘looks’ up and down the street are wonderful,” she told The Times-Picayune in 2014 when the show premiered. Often you can spot the building in episodes (complete with a fake NCIS seal placed on the exterior during filming) as characters come and go from the squad room.

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

A gated parking lot at 719 St. Ann St. is the exterior of the headquarters for NCIS New Orleans. Interior scenes are filmed on a soundstage.

The interior scenes all are filmed on a soundstage at Elmwood. Production designers, including local set decorator Tim Cohn, pride themselves on the local touches they’ve added to the set to make it authentic. The walls of the kitchen, for example, feature Carnival memorabilia and a large photo of the old Hubig’s Pies bakery. There’s even a WWOZ bumper sticker on the refrigerator. Another frequent location featured in the show is the bar owned and operated (in his off-time) by Special Agent Dwayne Pride, played by Scott Bakula. While the interior scenes of the fictional Tru Tone Bar are filmed in the studio, the exterior is the R Bar on Royal Street in Faubourg Marigny.

BLAKEVIEW TRADITIONALLY, REX AND COMUS ONLY MEET ON MARDI GRAS, but 65 years ago this month, the Mardi Gras monarchs stood side by side in a parade honoring a visit to the city by President Dwight D. Eisenhower to mark the 150th anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase. On Oct. 17, 1953, thousands of people lined the streets to greet Eisenhower, who later reviewed the parade from Jackson Square with Gov. Robert Kennon and Mayor deLesseps “Chep” Morrison. Like most parades Eisenhower reviewed during his career as a World War II general and president, it featured dozens of military units and bands. Beyond that, however, it looked more like Mardi Gras in October. Rex and Comus appeared together on one of the parade’s 17 floats, which depicted the theme “The States of the Louisiana Purchase.” The parade was atypical in that float riders didn’t throw anything, but Eisenhower didn’t seem to mind. “We watched the President’s reaction from time to time through some spy-glasses,” reporter Podine Schoenberger wrote in The Times-Picayune. “Although he smiled broadly when the kings of Rex and Comus bowed to him and smiled again when the Kansas float passed by, there was a definite warmth in the eyes of America’s wartime general as he watched khaki-clad GIs turn eyes left.” Ike joined the U.S. ambassador to France, other dignitaries and actors portraying historical figures for a ceremony re-enacting the signing of the Louisiana Purchase. It was narrated by Hollywood producer Cecil B. DeMille.

DOGFISH HEAD PUNKIN ALE Named after the seriously off-centered southern Delaware extravaganza Punkin Chunkin, Punkin Ale made its debut as it claimed first prize in the 1994 Punkin Chunkin Recipe Contest. Punkin Ale is a full-bodied brown ale with smooth hints of pumpkin and brown sugar. We brew our Punkin Ale with pumpkin meat, brown sugar and spices. As the season cools, this is the perfect beer to warm up with. Style – Pumpkin Beer ABV – 7.0%

LAGUNITAS SUPERCLUSTER Super Cluster is a Citra-Hopped Mega Ale of intergalactic proportions. This out-of-this-world ale is a galactic blast from the glass, a Citra supernova in the sky, jettisoning lupulin lusciousness through the cosmos and across the universe of your palate. Enter its bitter orbit and we’ll all float on, okay? Cheers! Style – IPA ABV – 8.0%

BY ALEX WOODWARD THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION cast a grim shadow on the would-be second album from Natalie Prass, who anxiously anticipated the release of her next suite of songs to follow her long-gestating 2015 self-titled debut. So she started nearly from scratch. With 2018’s The Future and the Past, her response is a powerful feminist statement, her embrace of womanhood and a confident reflection of herself, shaking off her November pallor and sending a rush of blood into her heart and fists. She exchanges the intimate chamber pop of her 2015 album with stripped-down disco, ’70s soul and ’80s pop to express her rage and her love, sung in sparkling harmony and finding surprising melodic riffs in addictive funk compositions. A spare snare pop and trebly guitar spank on album opener “Oh My” tease her pastel-colored take on Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis arrangements, before Prass asks the question she takes the rest of the album to answer: “I can’t believe the things I hear / Oh, what is truth and what is fear?” Her response is in piano-pounding R&B anthems (“Sisters”), squiggly synth love ballads (“Never Too Late”) and joy-building empowerment jams pulled from the Janet Jackson extended universe (“Ain’t Nobody”). The album’s title is her transition from one to the other, looking back only to make sure no one gets left behind. Tickets $12 in advance, $14 day of the show. Stella Donnelly opens at 9 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 14 at Gasa Gasa, 4920 Freret St., (504) 338-3567; www.gasagasa.com.

PREVIEW HUMP! Film Festival BY WILL COVIELLO OBJECTIFY, the short film that opens the HUMP! Film Festival’s 13th slate of homemade porn movies, cleverly features a series of objects used in suggestive ways: Hot dogs nuzzle flowers, an electric shaving device buzzes over a peach, a sleeping bag enters a tent. It’s lighthearted and amusing — nothing like most of the ensuing 20 films’ spree of graphic sex, close-up views of colliding crotches and bodies of all sizes, shapes and genders. Author and sex and relationship advice columnist Dan Savage launched the project in 2005, when he invited people to make their own short porn films about whatever they enjoyed or fantasized about. The selected films are screened in a touring show and then destroyed. The festival does not post the films publicly on the internet or distribute them. The 13th HUMP! Fest is at The Broad Theater Oct. 11-13. The films cover all sorts of diversity — from vanilla to exotic and solo to group sex by straight, gay and less easy to identify bodies and couplings. This slate features everything from a heterosexual couple having sex on a sunny mountaintop in a desert to a trio of men who find each other by using Lyft as a dating app. Pizza Roles depicts a series of increasingly exotic takes on the porn trope of having sex with a pizza delivery person. A parody of a public service announcement warns of the household dangers of running out of batteries. Paramnesia is an orgy of fetishism. There’s also a cartoon and a country song about polyamory. Most films have narratives, including several comedic shorts, and some stick to raw sex.

GOING OUT ART

REVIEW Shipwrecks and the Atchafalaya BY D. ERIC BOOKHARDT SIMON GUNNING’S PAINTINGS can be deceptive at first glance. His swamp scenes may recall the great 19th-century tropical nature painters, but his vision ultimately is broader than mere pictorialism. In the past, he faithfully recorded this region’s gritty industrial complexes as well as its verdant natural habitat. In his works at Arthur Roger Gallery, we see how some modest human interventions can blend into the region’s natural ecology. Anyone who has spent time around local wetlands has seen the remains of old boats rotting in shallow waters, where they provide shelter for aquatic life. Gunning’s works suggest how man and nature can co-exist in a realm where birth and death, creation and decay are interwoven. The Haunted Wreck of Lady Pontchartrain, 2017 (pictured) reveals a partially submerged vintage fishing vessel with its wooden hull unraveling like a wicker basket as a sea bird peers from a gaping hole in its cabin, as if from a box seat overlooking an aquatic opera in the murky gray waters below. An antique bridge arches across the horizon like a rusty rainbow as storm clouds brew in the distance in a scene that reminds us why the once popular notion of “man’s conquest of nature” never quite caught on here. We live in a region where endless varieties of flora and fauna flourish in junglelike profusion even as rot inevitably follows. This can seem un-American but is distinctly picturesque. In Behind the Batture, a bedraggled old work boat has found a final resting place in the shallows while a blue heron stands sentry on its stern. Reeds and rush willows frame this moldering old industrial relic in a way that lends it an almost poetic dignity. This stands in marked contrast to overtly sublime works like Gunning’s 11-feet-wide magnum opus, The Ancient Swamp, a vision of moss-draped cypresses rising cathedral-like over rookeries of exotic birds in a timeless scene that evokes the birth of the world. This alternation between splendor and decadence suggests how unpredictability and impermanence can lend a paradoxical sense of magic and meaning to life as it is lived. Through Oct. 27.

Cleaning Service

Kennel #39273009

Nala is a 3-year-old mixed breed. When she first arrived

at the shelter she was reserved and shy, but with a little love and attention she has evolved into a positive and outgoing girl. Her favorite toys are the squeaky ones, and her favorite treats are ones that are peanut butter flavored. She has great interactions with people, dogs, cats, and children.

Let me help with your

cleaning needs!

Kennel #39081022

Wodi is 16-year-old, DSH calico cat. Wodi might be

16-years-old, but she still looks and acts like a kitten because she is pretty tiny and loves to play. Her all-time favorite activity is snuggling, and once someone sits down she immediately nestles into their lap.
