A hunk of bacon love

‘Suddenly Last Summer’ THU.-SUN MARCH 28-APRIL 14| The Tennessee Williams Theatre Company of New Orleans presents Williams’ Garden District-set battle between Violet Venable and her niece Catharine Holly over the death of Venable’s son Sebastian. At 8 p.m. at Loyola University’s Lower Depths Theater.

Hogs for the Cause presents live music and a wide array of pork dishes

AF THE NAYSAYER

BY WILL COVIELLO TRADITIONAL RIBS, PORK SHOULDER AND BUTT AND WHOLE ROASTED PIGS are the focus for the 90 teams working their pits at Hogs for the Cause, but creativity has always been part of the 11-yearold festival. “I need at least three Elvis dishes,” Hogs co-founder Becker Hall told the teams preparing for the Friday night bacon dish bonanza. “My mom was obsessed with Elvis,” Hall says, talking near Hogs’ Mid-City headquarters. She died of cancer last year, and while he was working with teams to curate a diverse list of bacon dishes (he was forced to put a moratorium on jalapeno poppers) he encouraged some Elvis Presley inspirations. He got an Elvis bar of peanut butter shortbread with caramel banana jam and bacon, as well as a couple of other dishes with bacon and sweet ingredients. Hogs for the Cause puts barbecuing, creative cooking and live music to work in a festival that raises money for families with children battling pediatric brain cancer. This year’s festival features a music lineup including Trampled by Turtles, Lukas Nelson and the Promise of the Real, The War and Treaty and others on the grounds of the UNO Lakefront Arena March 29-30. Many of the barbecue teams have fun names such as Piggy Stardust, Silence of da Hams, Hupigs and Swine and Dine, and their pits are manned by a mix of professionals and amateurs competing for awards in categories such as best ribs, whole hog, sauce, side dish and creative item (“Porkpourri”). Hall estimates that 70 percent of the teams are from the New Orleans area, and many are long-time participants. Two of the larger teams, Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q and Captain Porkenheimer, have developed a rivalry over their respective

WED.-SUN. MARCH 27-APRIL 14 | Playwright Christina Quintana is an alumnus of New Orleans Center for Creative Arts. In her award-winning 2017 drama, Zelia and her wife Lore explore Zelia’s family’s past as her aging mother remembers her early life in Cuba. At 7:30 p.m. Wednesday-Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday at Southern Rep Theatre.

FRI. MARCH 29 | A fixture in the local electronic music and hip-hop scene, beat-maker and producer AF THE NAYSAYER releases “PARTS: Act 1,” the first installment in a series of three EPs. Charm Taylor, Mykia Jovan and Cavalier also perform at 10:30 p.m. at Gasa Gasa.

Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints fandom. Bacon is the focus Friday night, and festival sponsor Nueske’s provided almost two tons of slab, sliced and peppered bacon. Dishes include everything from bacon grilled cheese and bacon-topped stuffed macaroni and cheese to kung pao bacon, “Bacon-Villages” (bacon-onion tarts), a banh mi-LT, bacon barbecued crab cakes, bacon pralines, chocolate-covered bacon and other sweet dishes. The festival has three music stages, and the Friday lineup includes Minnesota bluegrass band Trampled by Turtles, Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk with George Porter Jr., jazz and rock multi-instrumentalist Marco Benevento, alt-country outfit American Aquarium and others. Saturday is headlined by Willie Nelson’s son Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real. Nelson wrote songs with Lady Gaga for her and Bradley Cooper’s remake of “A Star is Born.” Promise of the Real also has backed Neil Young since 2015.

There are two craft beer areas with brews from local breweries. The festival is cashless, and attendees can use debit wristbands. Hogs raised $1.45 million last year, and fundraising champion Fleur de Que and runner up Boar’s Nest both raised more than $340,000. Hogs has donated more than $1.5 million to hospitals for pediatric oncology programs and granted more than $1.25 million directly to families while their children received medical treatment, organizers say.

CITY COUNCIL CALLS FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY Raven Little, a senior at Lusher

Charter School, was among 16 students nationwide to receive a Gold Medal portfolio award and $10,000 scholarship from the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers. The 17-yearold Little was recognized for her writing portfolio “In This One, the Black Boy Only Dies Once,” which uses poetry to examine racial inequality. Little and other award winners will be honored at a ceremony June 6 at Carnegie Hall in New York City.

Mayor LaToya Cantrell ripped New Orleans Advocate reporter Jeff Adelson last week for publishing an online story about questions relating to in uncollected Sewerage & Water Board (S&WB) bills over a three-year period that surfaced during a City Council Public Works Committee hearing. In an angry phone call to the reporter on March 19, the mayor asked Adelson if he was trying to “screw the city” and “kill the deal” the city is negotiating with the state to get more money for the S&WB.

MEMBERS OF NEW ORLEANS’ CITY COUNCIL want to make Entergy New Orleans go greener. The council’s Utility Committee took the first step March 21 in a process that eventually would require Entergy to generate a certain percentage of the electricity it sells using wind, solar or other renewable energy sources. A resolution, passed unanimously, directed the council’s third-party energy consultant to draft a “renewable portfolio standard” for Entergy, a requirement that has been enacted in recent years for utilities in many U.S. cities and states in an effort to combat the role electricity generation plays in climate change. In the past, the City Council has urged the utility to add cleaner-burning sources of energy to its portfolio, but council members now want to create a more stringent requirement. “It is time now to all get on the same page and make clear our goals and demands ... for a cleaner New Orleans, so that even when this council is gone, the path is still certain,” said Councilwoman at-Large Helena Moreno, who chairs the committee that regulates Entergy. The process of creating a renewable standard is just beginning, but the draft standard, due in September, is focused on any additional generating capacity Entergy adds to its portfolio. As such, the new mandate is not expected to affect power sources the utility already relies on or is in the process of building, such as the highly controversial natural gas-powered plant in New Orleans East that the council already has approved. Still, it would set a framework for Entergy’s future investments and make New Orleans the first territory in the Gulf South with such a requirement, putting it in the company of 29 states and Washington, D.C., council members said. Brian Guillot, senior counsel for Entergy New Orleans, said the company has “a long-standing commitment” to clean energy, adding that Entergy already has plans in the works for 100 megawatts of zero carbon-emitting renewables. — JESSICA WILLIAMS/THE NEW ORLEANS ADVOCATE

That breaks down to $480.55 a day. Grant was hired to lead the S&WB in 2014 for $210,000 a year. He retired in 2017 in the wake of an Aug. 5 flood that revealed poor performance and a host of problems at the city agency. Before heading the S&WB, Grant served as a deputy mayor under Mayor Mitch Landrieu, chief administrative officer under Mayor Marc Morial and worked on large projects for the state and Ascension Parish.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Metairie Cemetery originally was Metairie Race Course. The oval shape of the horse track that was opened in 1838 still can be seen in aerial pictures of the cemetery. The race course fell on hard times during and after the Civil War, and in 1872 the land was turned into Metairie Cemetery, operated by the Metairie Cemetery Association. Its ornate statues and more than 7,000 tombs have drawn visitors for more than 140 years. Among notable people buried there are 10 Louisiana governors, including the first, William C.C.

LATOYA CANTRELL faced a

steep learning curve after she won the 2017 New Orleans mayoral election, but she’s been around long enough to know better than to shoot the messenger — particularly when her own administration is responsible for the bad news. The bad news in question came during a City Council Public Works Committee hearing on March 19, when Sewerage & Water Board (S&WB) officials acknowledged that its customers may owe the agency as much as $134 million for unpaid bills since 2016. For Cantrell, the timing of that news could not have been worse. She had been feverishly negotiating with the local hospitality industry for a greater share of its local sales tax revenues, hoping to inject millions into the cash-strapped S&WB. In

recent weeks, she appeared on the cusp of a major victory — one that could define her first term as mayor — as local business leaders said they were close to sealing a deal that reportedly would net the S&WB most (but not quite all) of the money Cantrell sought. All that could go south in a hurry, however, with news that the S&WB can’t collect more than $130 million in past-due bills. Trouble is news, like death, doesn’t discriminate. Especially news this big. Like any good reporter, The New Orleans Advocate’s Jeff Adelson wasted no time posting his online story about the S&WB’s humongous uncollected receivables. He provided his readers with ample perspective on the agency’s financial woes. That’s his job. Then his phone rang. Herroner was not pleased.

The mayor’s misplaced anger

CLANCY DUBOS A DVO C AT E S TA F F PH OTO B Y S H AW N F I N K

“What do you want to do, screw the city?” Cantrell asked. “Is that what you want?” She was just getting warmed up, apparently. “Who’s doing the work trying to get the money we need? Me,” Cantrell bellowed. “It’s for the city. And it’s just that serious. You can play games if you want, but this is not the one. It’s not it.” For good measure, Cantrell said Adelson’s reporting “could kill the deal.”

In Adelson’s original story and a follow-up, he pointed out that the estimate of how much money may be owed to the S&WB was compiled by Councilman Joe Giarrusso III and his staff, based on past agency reports — and that S&WB Executive Director Ghassan Korban could not dispute the figures. “But Korban added that it would take months to figure out how much was actually

owed by customers and how much was the result of billing problems or other errors,” Adelson’s reports noted. Then, miraculously, the day after Adelson’s initial report, the S&WB said delinquent bills were only about $50 million, not $134 million — though those numbers were quickly challenged. Who’s playing games here? Clearly the S&WB does not have a firm grip on its finances. Cantrell knew she had inherited a mess at the agency when she won the mayor’s race; she campaigned on the promise of making a turnaround at the S&WB her top priority. Now, almost a year into the job, she owns that mess. Blaming a reporter for trying to “screw the city” by merely doing his job only makes the mess look worse. It also proves that Cantrell still has a steep learning curve — and that her mayoral honeymoon is officially over.

COMMENTARY

Vote No on March 30

PH OTO B Y R I CH A R D J O H N S O N /G E T T Y I M AG E S

WE DON’T WANT TO DISRESPECT our elders, but a proposal to levy a new 2-mill property tax in New Orleans for elderly services is not the show of respect that our seniors deserve. The proposition is the only item on the ballot this Saturday (March 30). If approved, it would impose the new tax for only five years and generate $6.6 million in new revenue that, proponents say, would help address funding shortfalls for vital services for the city’s large elderly population. Unfortunately, voters have seen precious little campaigning by supporters of the new millage — and even less information about how the City Council would spend the new money. For these and other reasons, we regrettably recommend that our readers in New Orleans vote no on

Proposed new tax lacks specifics on how new funds will be used the proposition March 30. Frankly, our seniors deserve better than a half-baked idea that offers only short-term hope for improved services that so many seniors will need for the long haul. The local Council on Aging has promoted the idea of a tax dedicated to senior services for some time, and last October the City Council unanimously voted to put the issue on the March 30 ballot. That vote came over the objection of Mayor LaToya Cantrell, who, like many others, supports more senior funding but argued against failing to weigh this need against other important city needs. Interestingly, since then we’ve seen no council members campaigning for the senior services millage

— but the mayor came out against it forcefully in a recent letter to New Orleans voters. Cantrell wrote that the proposed new tax “does not go far enough to provide healthy outcomes for our seniors. This tax would go to a third party that is unaccountable to the public. And it’s a new tax on all of our homeowners, including seniors. We need a more holistic approach with services that meet all of their needs.” We agree — as does the nonpartisan Bureau of Governmental Research (BGR), a local government watchdog and think tank. BGR’s report (www.bgr.org) analyzed the proposal and concluded, “The millage’s goal of improving the quality of life for New Orleans’ elderly is important and laudable, particularly in light of the city’s relatively high population of elderly residents living alone, with disabilities or with limited financial means. However, the millage proposition does not assure citizens of the effective use of the millage revenue. It provides a broad grant of spending authority to the City Council, which has not put forward any companion ordinance to clarify specific recipients, uses, and accountability and performance measures. This is particularly problematic at a time when the city must confront, and voters must weigh, a host of critical needs competing for tax revenue.” BGR suggests that city leaders prioritize New Orleans’ revenue needs, including those of the elderly, and develop a strategy to address all those needs. We agree, though it hurts to reach that conclusion at the short-term expense of our seniors. We hope the mayor and the council will get to work on the BGR’s recommendations immediately. In the meantime, we recommend our readers vote no on March 30.

RAPHAEL HELFAND FRESH OFF THE RELEASE OF THEIR SOPHOMORE LP, “Careful,” pre-eminent synth pop duo Boy Harsher (pictured) arrives in New Orleans. Singer Jae Matthews and synth-master Gus Muller met at a party while attending film school in Savannah, Georgia and have been making dark, pulsating, goth dance music together ever since. Their first full-length record, “Yr Body is Nothing,” was a deep dive into brooding PH OTO B Y N E D DA A F S A R I minimalism, and the new project, though slightly more polished, sounds no less sinister. It’s the perfect music for long drives on deserted roads after midnight. Joining Boy Harsher is local no wave group Special Interest, which released a stellar debut album, “Spiraling,” last year. It sets Alli Logout’s fierce, transgressive vocals against Maria Delgado’s screeching guitar, Nathan Cassiani’s driving bass, Ruth Ex’s propulsive synth beats, and clean production from local impresario Quintron. The group’s live shows are explosive affairs, carried by Logout’s chaotic energy, a perfect foil to Boy Harsher’s icy malaise. At 9 p.m. Sunday at Santos Bar, 1135 Decatur St., (504) 605-3533; www.santosbar. com. Tickets $12.

GOING OUT ART

PREVIEW ‘And Another Thing ...’ D. ERIC BOOKHARDT

IN A PROSE POEM inspired by the late found-object sculptor Joseph Cornell, poet Charles Simic wrote, “Somewhere in the city of New York there are four or five still-unknown objects that belong together. Once together they’ll make a work of art.” Cornell was a self-taught pioneer American surrealist as well as an erudite student of art history, so he was a natural bridge between selftaught outsider artists and the “official” art world of galleries, museums and academies. His ghost hangs over this “And Another Thing …” collage and assemblage expo by other artists at Barrister’s Gallery, but the net effect reflects New Orleans more than Cornell’s New York or the surrealists’ Paris, perhaps because so much of it recalls the altarlike arrays of objects that so often adorn mantels and end tables in local bohemian households. Mary Gottschalk Moses’ “Aftermath” assemblage of antique faucet handles, gas heater parts and lacy metal filigree suggests ancient Egyptian Masonic symbolism resuscitated from demolished house debris by a secret society of hermetic handymen. The holy cards, saint medallions, crystals and beads of Bonnie Bendzans’ gothic reliquary, “Genuflect,” suggest the sacred artifacts of the Society of St. Anne marching krewe. Her “Crows Mourn their Dead” reliquary, with its stuffed raven perched on an antique balance scale, evokes a ghostly collaboration between Cornell and Edgar Allen Poe. John Barnes returns us to the present via the plantation past in his “NFL Locker Room” — a slave shack cum football locker room that is his sculptural commentary on the controversy over Colin Kaepernick’s protests during the playing of the national anthem. Mitchell Gaudet’s “500 Points” (pictured) assemblage of cast-glass toy soldiers, target ducks and a heart-shaped sheet metal bull’s-eye is the sculptor and former National Guard officer’s stark commentary on the nostalgia of violence. Collage paintings by David Eddington and the late James L. Steg explore the surreal depths of flat surfaces, while an “exquisite corpse” collaborative work in the gallery’s dungeon grotto rounds out a show that often suggests installation art on the part of curator Carole Leake. The 13-artist expo comes across as a sprawling assemblage in its own right. Through April 6. Barrister’s Gallery, 2331 St. Claude Ave., (504) 710-4506; www.barristersgallery.com.
