SEVEN THINGS TO DO IN SEVEN DAYS

“Abduction from the Seraglio”

May the farce be with you

FRI. & SUN. FEB. 8 & 10 | Stage director Alison Moritz swaps Mozart’s seraglio, an Ottoman harem’s quarters, for a film noirish Hollywood nightclub where women are forced to work. The New Orleans Opera Association presents the show at 7:30 p.m. Friday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday at the Mahalia Jackson Theater for Performing Arts.

The Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus parade rolls Feb. 9 in Marigny

“Dreamgirls”

BY WILL COVIELLO THE INTERGALACTIC KREWE OF CHEWBACCHUS is the latest group with designs on Lee Circle: The empty pedestal could hold a statue of a Wookiee. Actually, the krewe has created a miniature 3-D replica of downtown New Orleans that will roll as a theme “contraption” (not float) in its Carnival parade Feb. 9 in Faubourg Marigny, and Wookiees are everywhere. The parade theme is “Space Farce,” and Brian O’Halloran, star of Kevin Smith’s early film “Clerks,” will serve as King Brian the First, Commander of the Space Farce. The theme contraption features a large-brained alien in a silver flying saucer hovering over New Orleans. Many landmarks below it have been remade in the group’s Chewbachannalian vision. In the center of Jackson Square, there is a statue of a Wookie on a horse. “Star Wars” characters, vehicles and minutia have inspired the krewe since its inception in 2011, but as it has grown to include nearly 100 subkrewes and 2,000 marchers in its parade, it has broadened its universe. The original trio of founders handed over leadership to three new krewe “Overlords” after last year’s parade. This is the debut parade for Brook Ethridge, aka Overlord Padme Almandine, Richard Riggs, aka Overlord Dr. Rotwang Caligari Strangelover, and Aryanna Gamble, aka Overlord Space Goddess Snackagawea. Ethridge founded the now 100member Leijorettes dance team, most of whom dress as Princess Leia in her iconic white dress with her hair curled in buns over each ear. The Overlords agree that “Star Wars,” “Star Trek,” “The Princess Bride” and “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” provide a base of shared inter-

TUE. FEB. 5 | Award-winning composer and pianist Lera Auerbach begins a residency in New Orleans with a solo performance including her work “Labyrinth” and Modest Mussorgsky’s piano showpiece “Pictures at an Exhibition.” At 7:30 p.m. at Tulane University’s Dixon Hall.

FRI.-SUN. FEB. 8-24 | Effie is the star singer for the Motown-styled girl group The Dreams in a musical about life and love in the spotlight and behind the scenes. Jefferson Performing Arts Society presents the musical at 7:30 p.m. Friday-Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at Jefferson Performing Arts Center.

Tet Festival est for many krewe members. But the group welcomes all sorts of interests. “When I started out, this was very much a sci-fi krewe,” Gamble says. “But now it’s a fandom krewe.” A subkrewe devoted to Cher will debut this year. Gamble’s subkrewe, Remix, always has focused on mashups. Last year, it combined Pokemon and pop music. This year, it will fuse local food and characters from science fiction. Mashups are common among subkrewes, such as the Space Vikings, and some celebrate pop culture, such as the Krewe of Sharknadeaux, Krewe of the Living Dead, The Rolling Elliotts (inspired by “E.T.”) and a group of Wonder Women. Solo marchers can join the krewe’s “nerd herd.” Many Chewbacchus members share an interest in DIY approaches, making throws by hand and keeping participation accessible by maintaining low dues. Throwing beads is not encouraged unless something makes them unique, such as a handmade medallion. Gamble likes to be able to match throws to spectators. Last year, she was able to give a handmade toy version of a BMO game to a person who attended the parade in a BMO costume. Krewe members can attend an annual Throw

The “Space Farce” parade begins on Press Street and circles the Marigny via North Peters Street, Frenchmen Street and St. Claude Avenue.

Galactic and Irma Thomas at French Quarter Fest ... council scraps ‘nuisance’ bar proposal

# The Count

Thumbs Up/ Thumbs Down

$31.7 million

Maurice Carlos Ruffin

had his novel “We Cast a Shadow” named Publishers Weekly Book of Week Pick last week. The New Orleans native, who was educated at the University of New Orleans and Loyola University School of Law, has received rapturous reviews for his debut, a satire set in a Southern city about a black man with a biracial son who is considering plastic surgery for his teenager to reduce his blackness. Publishers Weekly called it “brilliant” and an “unforgettable work of political art.”

Louisiana

once again came in 50th in U.S. News & World Report’s annual ranking of the best states in America, just as it did last year. Its dishonorable rankings include health care (47th), economy (44th), crime and corrections (48th) and education (49th). New Mexico and Mississippi filled out the bottom three. The five best states were Iowa, Minnesota, Utah, North Dakota and New Hampshire.

Florida Secretary of State Michael Ertel stepped down after photos of him surfaced in blackface and drag wearing a New Orleans Saints bandanna and a T-shirt that read, “Katrina Victim.” The photos were taken at a Halloween party two months after Hurricane Katrina and the federal floods killed hundreds in New Orleans. Ertel was the Seminole County Supervisor of Elections at the time.

Galactic is among 250 acts performing at French Quarter Festival in April.

among the performers scheduled to appear at the 2019 French Quarter Festival April 11-14. The lineup also includes Cyril Neville, Erica Falls, Water Seed, Big Chief Bo Dollis Jr. and the Wild Magnolias, and many others. The free festival features more than 250 bands on 23 stages. A second line kicks off the festival at 10 a.m. Thu., April 11. It begins on the 100 block of Bourbon Street and ends at Jackson Square. There also are musician interviews, kids’ activities, free dance lessons and more.

‘Nuisance’ bars ordinance scrapped — again An ordinance that would have forced “nuisance” bars in New Orleans to provide live-streamed video to police and would have allowed them to be shut down due to complaints from as much as a half-mile away will be withdrawn and watered down before it comes up for a vote, District C Councilwoman Kristin Gisleson Palmer’s office said last week. The ordinance, first proposed by Palmer and District E Councilwoman Cyndi Nguyen in late December, will be formally withdrawn, said Palmer’s Chief of Staff Andrew Sullivan. That will set the stage for a new ordinance. The plan is to come up with a package of regulations that take “as many viewpoints as we possibly can into account,” Sullivan said. Some groups already say the broad strokes of Palmer’s new plan would still give regulators too much power to shut down bars. While acknowledging that some bars create a nuisance and fail to follow city regulations or pay their taxes — the main problems the ordinance aims to address — Music and Culture Coalition of New Orleans Executive Director Ethan Ellestad said there could still be unintended consequences from the proposed framework. “Are we creating systems to allow people to make things right, or are we just cracking down to reduce the number of alcohol outlets in the city?” Ellestad asked. The current debate had its origins in a public safety plan former Mayor Mitch Landrieu rolled out in response to a 2016 shooting on Bourbon Street. In addition to launching the city’s network of surveillance cameras, that plan called for changes in how bars are regulated. Those proposals made their way to the council in an ordinance that would have required bars to install interior and exterior cameras that fed live video into the city’s Real Time Crime Center. The proposal also would have allowed bars to be shut down if the city received five complaints from residents as far as a half-mile away. — JEFF ADELSON | THE NEW ORLEANS ADVOCATE

Goodell was paid $205.8 million between 2008 and 2016. The NFL dropped its tax-exempt status in 2015, so Goodell’s current salary is not public record. In 2017, ESPN reported Goodell was asking for $49 million per year and use of a private jet for life, a report two NFL sources disputed, saying Goodell already had use of a private jet.

COMMENTARY

A DVO C AT E S TA F F P H OTO B Y PAT R I C K D E N N I S

Gov. John Bel Edwards, left, shakes hands with Senate President John Alario, R-Westwego. Both are opposed to Mayor LaToya Cantrell’s proposal to divert hotelmotel tax monies from the state to the city. MAYOR LATOYA CANTRELL’S EFFORT

to get more of New Orleans’ hotel-motel taxes into the city’s general fund got a boost when the Bureau of Governmental Research (BGR), a nonpartisan good government group, made the case that the city should increase hotel-motel taxes by 1 percent to cover essential services such as sewerage and street repairs. Many people know that most of hotel-motel taxes collected in New Orleans go to the state rather than the city. In fact, more than 90 percent of the money is dedicated to three purposes: tourism agencies, such as New Orleans & Co. (formerly the New Orleans Convention and Visitors Bureau) and the New Orleans Tourism Marketing Corporation (a city agency); the Ernest N. Morial Exhibition Hall Authority (a state entity); and the Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District (which oversees the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and the Smoothie King Center). Less than 10 percent goes to the city’s general fund. What the BGR report explains is less well-known — how this unusual taxing arrangement was set up in the first place. In 1966, when New Orleans received an NFL franchise and the construction of the Louisiana Superdome was proposed, voters amended the state constitution to put a tax on hotel and motel rooms in the city to fund the Dome. At the time, the city agreed to suspend its 1-cent tax on hotel rooms in order to soften the blow. That penny has not been replaced or reinstated in the 52 intervening years. BGR estimates the “lost penny” will cost New Orleans $12.3 million this year. Recapturing some of that money has been discussed by various city

officials (and taxpayers) over the years, but Cantrell is the first mayor to make a major push for it, saying she wants it considered during this year’s legislative session. Gov. John Bel Edwards has been cool to the idea, as has Louisiana Senate President John Alario. Not surprisingly, tourism and convention officials aren’t enthusiastic, either. In an interview with The Lens, New Orleans & Co. President Stephen Perry defended tourism’s take of the money saying, “Take the French Quarter. You’ve got a city that takes a 13-by-8 block area that’s arguably the single most valuable neighborhood, commercially, in the entire United States. [The city] can’t clean it. They can’t pick up the garbage. And so you can understand our skepticism about saying, ‘All right. Let’s diminish the size of the economy and give a little more to them to continue performing badly.’ ” Perry also has said that reinstating the penny tax on hotel rooms in New Orleans — the plan recommended by the BGR — could depress tourism, particularly conventions. New Orleans & Co. is proposing a .55 percent increase in hotel-motel taxes, from 16.35 percent to 16.9 percent, with the taxes raised going to the general fund. News that the Convention Center is sitting on nearly a quarter-billion dollars in reserves doesn’t sit well with New Orleanians frustrated at the state of their streets and sewer lines. Nevertheless, if state officials are intransigent about revising the current tax structure, a .55 percent tax increase on hotel rooms may be the best deal Cantrell is likely to get, even with many locals on her side.

for a proposed power plant in New Orleans East may turn out to be a boon to the City Council, which now has tons of leverage over the utility. Entergy desperately wants to put the PR debacle behind it amid talk of rescinding the previous council’s approval of the power plant. The council, which regulates Entergy, hopes to make a final decision this month on both the fate of the plant and a penalty against ENO for its “astroturfing” stunt. The council utilities committee will consider both matters when it meets Feb. 14. Meanwhile, Entergy has sent council members a letter outlining a potential compromise. If that leads to some grand bargain, it would be the first smart move the utility has made in quite some time. The letter outlines key concessions by Entergy:

Thanks to Entergy’s ill-advised PR stunt, we now may get a lot more for our money. • Significant help in addressing the Sewerage & Water Board’s power-generation challenges; • Accelerating improvements to Entergy’s distribution system (which brings power to homes and businesses); • Cementing the utility’s investment in solar power; • Containing costs at the new plant; and • Paying the $5 million penalty the council already has announced. That money could help fund infrastructure needs at the S&WB and elsewhere. Both Entergy and the council have good reason to compromise. While the utility sorely needs to repair its image, it also already has spent at least $96 million on the new plant. Rescinding council approval of the facility would trigger a lawsuit that Entergy very likely would win, sticking taxpayers with the tab — and leaving them with nothing to show for it. Those truths seemed to infuse a statement released Jan. 30 by

A rendering of the proposed gas power plant in New Orleans East.

At-Large Councilwoman Helena Moreno, who chairs the council’s utilities committee. Moreno demanded more from Entergy but acknowledged that “New Orleans’ ratepayers are on the hook for at least $96 million spent by Entergy since the approval.” She said those costs have been verified and “represent an incredibly high ‘exit’ fee” for scrapping the plant. It now appears Moreno and other council members are ready to resolve these issues — provided Entergy steps up. In another major development, the state Department of Environmental Quality green-lighted plant construction the day after Moreno’s statement, effectively denying plant opponents’ frenzied claims that the generating station poses a life-threatening hazard to neighboring communities. Such claims were just as intellectually dishonest as Entergy’s reckless astroturfing move, in my opinion. Entergy painted a blatantly false picture of public support, but opponents likewise falsely created a sense of panic in vulnerable communities, which boosted opponents’ turnout against the plant. The real threat to people’s lives is not a gas-fired plant that is onesixth the size of its predecessor — and many times safer environmentally — but rather an extended summer heat wave (or polar vortex in winter) that produces cascading outages that would leave many New Orleanians without power. Public hearings did not constitute any part of the official record of the City Council’s deliberative process regarding the $210 million power plant. That record plainly supports building the plant. Thanks to Entergy’s ill-advised PR stunt, we now may get a lot more for our money.

Hey Blake, I seem to recall a restaurant somewhere in the French Quarter that offered dining inside an old railroad car. This would have been in the 1970s. Can you refresh my memory?

Dear reader,

The restaurant you remember was called Victoria Station. Its dining rooms were housed in vintage railroad cars, transported to town and parked at 111 Iberville St. near what now is Canal Place. When the project was announced in May 1971, Curtis and Davis Architects had just completed renovation of a former molasses warehouse at the site. Victoria Station’s kitchen was located on the first floor of the seven-story building, and a restored caboose and three boxcars were parked outside. “The interior carries out the British railroad theme, with brakemen’s lanterns as lighting and artifacts acquired from England and Australia on the walls,” The States-Item reported. The Iberville Street restaurant could seat about 200 guests. At the time, the Victoria Station chain, which specialized in beef dishes and prime rib, had more than 50 other restaurants across the U.S., including in San Francisco and Atlanta. In a November 1971 review, States-

The site where Victoria Station restaurant once stood is being transformed into a hotel.

Item restaurant critic Richard Collin, known as the Underground Gourmet, called Victoria Station “a great idea but one that is flawed by a failure of taste and execution.” He called it a “Bonanza-type steak house at Antoine’s prices,” contrasting the city’s oldest restaurant with the national steak restaurant chain. The New Orleans location of Victoria Station closed in 1986. That year, the parent company filed for bankruptcy. The last remaining restaurant, in Salem, Massachusetts, closed in 2017. The building on Iberville Street is being turned into a boutique hotel.

BLAKEVIEW THIS WEEK MARKS THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY of the start of the 1979 strike by

New Orleans police officers, which forced the cancellation of Mardi Gras. The decision to strike by members of the Police Association of New Orleans (PANO) came in the second year of Mayor Ernest “Dutch” Morial’s administration after Morial angered some officers by choosing James Parsons, an “outsider” from Birmingham, Alabama, as police chief. Other disputes simmered between police and the administration over wages and benefits. Morial’s decision to recognize the Fraternal Order of Police, instead of the Teamsters-affiliated PANO as the sole bargaining agent for police officers, brought things to a boiling point. On Feb. 8, 1979, members of PANO voted unanimously to strike. Carnival parades were set to roll Feb. 16, with Fat Tuesday on Feb. 27. After days of negotiations, Carnival krewe captains sided with Morial and the city and agreed to cancel their parades, not wanting to let Mardi Gras be used as leverage during strike negotiations. While the oldest krewes — Comus, Rex, Momus and Proteus — canceled their parades, 13 other krewes paraded outside Orleans Parish, including Endymion, which rolled in Kenner. According to “Mardi Gras Guide” publisher Arthur Hardy, there have been only 12 other times in the 162-year history of the celebration that organized Mardi Gras parades in the city were canceled or severely limited. The other instances included the Civil War, World War I, World War II and the Korean War. Though 1979’s parades didn’t roll, Mardi Gras celebrations continued in the French Quarter, with members of the National Guard patrolling the streets. As The New York Times put it: “Cancel Mardi Gras? You might as well try to cancel Christmas.” The police strike ended and officers returned to work on March 3.

What is

CBD? CANNABIDIOL (CBD) is a nonpsychoactive phytocannabinoid that reportedly has helped a number of people with a variety of symptoms and conditions. These range from muscle spasms and chronic pain to inflammation and intense anxiety. Due to the increasing popularity of CBD and CBD oil products, many people are asking: is CBD safe and what is the best way to use CBD products? CBD not only has gained attention in the medical marijuana industry, but it also has attracted attention from the pharmaceutical industry, politicians and the general public. For politicians, the cannabis subject centers on law and reform. For the public, interest in medicinal cannabis is a real subject of research and debate. While CBD cannot, by law, have any official medical uses, there is a steady stream of scientific studies being performed on the potential health benefits, which complements the back-catalog of cannabis research highlighting potential medical uses and thousands of anecdotal reports on CBD’s health benefits.

WHAT IS CBD?

CBD IS ONE OF MANY PHYTOCANNABINOIDS found in the cannabis plant. It does not invoke any psychotropic effects, and the World Health Organization (WHO) considers it to be a safe and effective compound. Studies have shown that CBD can be linked to positive effects in treating some conditions and easing certain symptoms.

These include: • • • • •

I n f lamma t io n P a in M u sc le sp asms A nxie t y N ause a a n d v o mit ing • S eizur e s • I n s o mnia

Some cannabis cultivators have focused on breeding certain cannabis strains for medicinal purposes that carry high levels of CBD and trace amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Although THC does exhibit potential health benefits in its own right, its psychotropic properties can potentially cause undesirable side effects. It is worth noting that despite the strong psychoactive effects of THC, it has proved effective in the treatment of a number of conditions and can be used alongside CBD and other phytocannabinoids as medicine.

Imagine a place where one can go to simply forget about the stress and worry of everyday life. Serenity Day Spa and Gifts has been providing this experience for its guests since 2004.

TD Seafood Pho House serves traditional Vietnamese dishes and Viet-Cajun boiled seafood BY H E L E N F REU N D @helenfreund NEW ORLEANIANS KNOW THEIR WAY AROUND A BOWL OF PHO, and with

the wealth of good Vietnamese eateries across the city a pho fix never is far away. But while the restorative qualities of the anise-scented broth are hard to dispute, lately I’ve found myself longing for the soup’s spicier, heartier cousin: bun bo Hue. Bun bo Hue is named for its birthplace, the city of Hue in central Vietnam, where stalls hawking the soup can be found on many street corners. It’s almost ubiquitous in early morning hours, when the soup is eaten for breakfast. Though lesser known than the bowls of pho found throughout New Orleans, bun bo Hue can be found at some Vietnamese restaurants and TD Seafood Pho House, a new restaurant in Harvey, serves an excellent version. Here, the broth is chock full of fried cubes of silky tofu, peppery slices of pork cake, thin slices of brisket and thick rice noodles. Sometimes, a cube of blood cake bobs on the surface. The dark broth is made by boiling beef bones and pork knuckles, the latter of which float in the bowl, gelatinous and slightly tricky to eat. Lemon grass, shaved red onions, scallions and cilantro add to the soup’s rich aroma. While pho usually is served with sprouts and fresh basil, bun bo Hue often is accompanied by shredded cabbage and sprigs of rau ram, a leafy green herb (also known as Viet-

namese coriander) that has a strong grassy taste. At TD Seafood, both soups are served with sliced jalapenos and bright red Fresno chilies. The restaurant opened last summer in a strip mall on Manhattan Boulevard, and its name points to the two things the kitchen does best: soup and boiled seafood. Here, the emphasis is on Viet-Cajun-style boiled seafood, first popularized in Houston, in which crawfish, shrimp, crabs or other boiled seafood are served glistening with a garlicky butter coating and a kick of Cajun spice. Grilled pork spring rolls also are delicious, delivered in slightly warm rice paper wrappers filled with sweet marinated grilled pork, noodles, cucumbers and carrots. The accompanying peanut sauce is on the sweet side, and adding a dab of chili oil at the table adds a dimension of flavor. Other Vietnamese hallmarks include bun, or vermicelli noodle dishes, topped with grilled meats, fresh herbs and vegetables. A selection of fried rice dishes deliver humble comfort-food satisfaction.

WHAT WORKS

bun bo Hue, house special fried rice

P H OTO B Y C H ERY L G ER B ER

Bun bo Hue is a spicy soup filled with beef, pork and noodles.

The delicious special combination rice, com chien cap thap cam, features browned rice studded with bits of fried egg, shrimp, pork, chicken, charred scallions and sauteed onions. The heaping portion is enough for two to share. The banh mi selection suffices for diners in search of minimalist versions. A grilled pork sandwich featured strips of sweet, marinated pork, cucumber spears, carrots and a handful of cilantro and jalapenos, but the sandwich was dry. TD Seafood serves satisfying versions of many hallmark Vietnamese dishes, but it’s the garlicky Viet-Cajun boiled seafood and excellent bun bo Hue that make this restaurant stand out.

native Rayvon, Robin Barnes, DJ Raj Smoove and the Yard Squad Band. There’s also a second line with Mardi Gras Indians. Food vendors serve variations on jerk chicken and other Caribbean dishes. Boswell’s Jamaican Grill, Johnny’s Jamaican Grill, Trinidadian restaurant Island Paradise Bar & Grill, Queen Trini Lisa, Froot New Orleans, 14 Parishes Jamaican Restaurant, Karibu Kitchen and NOLA Soul Pie are among the 17 vendors. The festival also holds a Scotch bonnet pepper-eating contest and a jerk chicken cook-off. In 2017, the estate of the late reggae singer Bob Marley sent festival organizers a cease and desist letter about the use of his name, and the event was changed to the NOLA Jerk Chicken Festival. According to a release from the festival’s organizers, the legal dispute has been resolved, and the festival has reverted to its original name. The festival is 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 9. Tickets are available for $20 before 3 p.m. on the day of the event. They’re $25 after 3 p.m.. Children’s tickets are $5. VIP tickets are $70 and include access to a VIP lounge with an open bar, catering, bathrooms and front-row access to the entertainment. — HELEN FREUND

THE SUFFERS DROPPED FROM 10 TO EIGHT MEMBERS between its 2016 self-titled debut release and last year’s sophomore record, “Everything Here,” but the band’s sound still is stadium sized. At an early set at the 2018 Voodoo Music + Art Experience, the band costumed as characters from the video game universe of Mario Bros., and frontwoman Kam Franklin, dressed as Princess Peach, led an impromptu aerobics class, lectured the crowd on the importance of calling their mothers and made a case for gifting sandwiches to friends whenever possible. The rest of her band gave Franklin rich textures to support her vocals, molding the wide-ranging styles of their native Houston into the sound they’ve coined “Gulf Coast soul.”

“Everything Here,” released in July 2018, is a relationship album, but not in the traditional sense. Tracks deal with the stages of romance, from flirtation (“The One About Sace”) to infatuation (“I Think I Love You”) to seeking comfort (“Sure To Remain”) to miscommunication (“What You Said”) to breaking up (“Won’t Be Here Tomorrow”). Through it all, Franklin remains upbeat, with lyrics that are neither saccharine when things are good nor melodramatic when they get bad. Rather, she maintains a clear-headed optimism and a focus on staying healthy and true to oneself. Daria & The Hip Drops open at 9 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 7 at Gasa Gasa, 4920 Freret St., (504) ; www.gasagasa.com. Tickets are $13 in advance, $15 day of show.

PREVIEW ‘The Book of Mormon’ BY WILL COVIELLO “SOUTH PARK” CREATORS Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s Mormon missionaries return to New Orleans. The hit musical is a buddy story for an odd couple of young Mormons about to embark on their P H OTO B Y J U L I E TA C ER VA N T E S missions. The overachieving Elder Kevin Price wants to find converts in Orlando, Florida and clueless Elder Arnold Cunningham just wants to find a friend. The two are assigned to a remote region of Uganda, where a warlord terrorizes villagers, who also struggle with disease, drought and assorted misfortune. The show debuted on Broadway in 2011 and won nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and a 2012 Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album. A touring production first came to New Orleans in 2013. Tickets $50 and up, plus fees. Show times vary. Tuesday-Sunday, Feb. 5-10. Saenger Theatre, 1111 Canal St., (504) 525-1052; www. saengernola.com.

REVIEW ‘Bondye: Beyond and Between’ BY D. ERIC BOOKHARDT IN THE 1960S, Tina Girouard was part of an influential group of New York avant-garde artists from Louisiana that included Lynda Benglis, Dickie Landry, Keith Sonnier and Robert Rauschenberg. She eventually returned to Acadiana, where she immersed herself not only in her native Cajun culture but also in the Afro-Caribbean-rooted cultures that influenced so much of Louisiana’s Creole heritage. During extended visits to her studio in Haiti, where she worked with legendary Voodoo flag makers such as Edgar Jean-Louis and Georges Valris, Girouard fashioned the large beaded and sequined “Vodou drapos” in this expo at the New Orleans Museum of Art. While mostly remaining true to traditional Haitian symbolism, they reveal Louisiana influences as well. That influence is obvious in one of her most aesthetically compelling works, “La Sirene” (pictured), the metaphysical mermaid and goddess of sea currents and creatures, as well as magic and the psyche. Here she is a Creole sea siren who, in a nod to Louisiana, wields a saxophone, an instrument with serpentine lines that complements the Medusa-like eels comprising her tightly coiled hairdo. If the saxophone seems unexpected, it really reflects Voodoo’s syncretic ability to incorporate African, indigenous American, Roman Catholic and global influences across time and space. That sensibility is exemplified in “Legba,” depicting Voodoo’s guardian of time and the crossroads — a reminder that the African notion of the crossroads infuses American music legends, most notably blues great Robert Johnson’s famous pact with the devil. One of the most imposing images here is the serpent “Damballah,” whose knowledge and creativity gave birth to the universe and all things in it. “Erzulie” is the deity of love, a flirtatious goddess who embodies the spirit of both Venus and the Virgin Mary. Ogou is the Afro-Haitian version of Mars, the spirit of iron, fireworks and warfare who enabled Haitians armed with machetes to defeat Napoleon Bonaparte’s powerful army and create the first Caribbean island nation. In these works, Girouard celebrates Haiti’s profound influence on Louisiana’s deep international roots. Through Oct. 13. New Orleans Museum of Art, 1 Collins C. Diboll Circle, (504) 658-4100; www.noma.org.

the shelter with a littler of 5 puppies, and was such a fantastic mother. While her puppies were sleeping, we were able to take her on walks and get to know her wonderful personality. When approached, her whole butt wags and she walks nicely on the leash. Now that her babies have been adopted, she’s looking to become someone’s baby.
