Entergy New Orleans is modernizing the power grid to ensure more reliable – and more affordable – power for years to come.

Advanced Meters use smart technology to communicate with the power grid. They can detect outages instantly so we can restore power faster. They deliver improved usage data so we can provide better customer service and optimize the grid to meet evolving energy demands. Advanced Meters give you helpful information – as well as new tools to help your energy usage – which could lead to lower bills.

Grid Automation also uses smart technology to automatically respond to problems. When there is an outage, the power grid can reroute power within seconds – keeping the lights on at more homes and businesses while our crews are dispatched to the exact location in need of repair.

We’re installing this new technology today so New Orleans can shine brighter for generations. Together, we power life. entergybrightfuturenola.com

SEVEN THINGS TO DO IN SEVEN DAYS

Country roads

Joey Diaz FRI. JUNE 7 | Joey “Coco” Diaz was born in Cuba, raised in northern New Jersey and has a look and style perfect for a wisecracking goodfella. The brassy comedian shares his candid views of the world on his podcast “The Church of What’s Happening Now.” He performs standup at 7 p.m. at The Fillmore at Harrah’s New Orleans.

Americana singersongwriter Caleb Caudle returns to New Orleans

BY HOLLY HOBBS

Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals

AMERICANA SINGER-SONGWRITER CALEB CAUDLE’S VOICE has a youth-

ful clarity that matches the honest delivery of his lyrics. Caudle grew up near Columbia, South Carolina, until age 12, when his family moved to North Carolina, where the Winston-Salem-based singer-songwriter found inspiration in the sanctuary of the woods behind his house, cultivating a connection to nature that would inform his songwriting and outlook.

“You learn patience from nature,” Caudle says. “I’m more patient with music than maybe I am with anything else. Whereas I used to rush my songwriting, it doesn’t really seem like that anymore. These days, I’m kind of just waiting to make sure everything comes together in the way it’s supposed to.”

Things have come together in his career as well, after years of touring and collaborations with musicians including Elizabeth Cook, John Paul White, Gary Louris of the Jayhawks, Erin Rae and others.

Caudle lived in New Orleans in 2013 and part of 2014 and he returns to the city to open for country singer Grace Askew at Chickie Wah Wah Saturday, June 8.

After dabbling in the punk rock-influenced scene as a teenager, Caudle decided to pursue music full-time in 2012, shifting toward the roots music of his upbringing.

Several studio records followed, including 2016’s country album “Carolina Ghost” and the mercurial 2018 release “Crushed Coins.” With contributions from producer/drummer Jon Ashley (Band of Horses, Hiss Golden Messenger, War on Drugs), “Crushed Coins” incorporated a variety of styles and arrangements and received praise from “Rolling Stone” and National Public Radio.

THU. JUNE 6 | An early Memphis-based lineup of Tav Falco’s Panther Burns featured guitarist Alex Chilton — helping to craft its raw, “art damage” rock and roll. On the band’s 40th anniversary tour — following November 2018 album “Cabaret of Daggers” — the Vienna, Austria-based group returns to the South. The Royal Pendletons and Planchettes open at 9 p.m. at d.b.a.

SAT. JUNE 8 | Anderson .Paak won the 2019 Best Rap Performance Grammy Award, which straddled the releases of 2018 album “Oxnard” and April’s “Ventura,” which were recorded simultaneously. Thundercat and Noname open at 7:30 p.m. at Champions Square.

“A Day Late and a Dollar Short” SAT.-SUN. JUNE 8-9 | MC Sweet Tea, Sarah Inman and Anais St. John star in the immersive performance, which is set in a Storyville bordello and incorporates musicians, dancers and artists.

The event also includes dinner, drinks and music after the show. At 7 p.m. at The New Quorum.

The straightforward quality of Caudle’s brand of Americana comes from his love of vinyl, 1960s recording styles and nature.

“I like seeing new things,” Caudle says. “National parks, for example, are so open and everything feels untouched and pure. I think a lot of the best ideas I’ve had, as far as songs go, comes from that openness. Your imagination runs wild when you see the otherworldliness of nature.”

Themes of loneliness and doubt are omnipresent in his songwriting, but there’s a brightness, too, especially in the joyful way he manipulates genre and style. There are other throwback elements, such as 1970s-style country mid-song key changes, but nothing seems forced.

This also is true of his untitled forthcoming album, recorded live at Cash Cabin. Produced by John Jackson of the Jayhawks and set for release in early 2020, the album features a raw, gritty ’60s soul groove that’s less of

a departure from his previous sound than an organic maturation.

At Chickie Wah Wah, Caudle will focus on songs from his recent records and a forthcoming release. “‘Better Hurry Up’ is a song off my new upcoming album, and I feel like it’s my favorite song,” he says.

“A lot of things just came together for me with that song. This new stuff I’m doing seems to be a lot less introspective and a lot more focused on universal themes. That’s kind of opened up a lot of doors for me and my songwriting.”

Tom McDermott album release SUN. JUNE 9 | Tom McDermott’s first album, “New Rags,” was a collection of originals inspired by ragtime. His new album, “Tom McDermott Meets Scott Joplin,” features Joplin songs rendered both straight-ahead and infused with McDermott’s other musical influences in jazz, Brazilian and Caribbean sounds.

At 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. at Snug Harbor.

The Felice Brothers MON. JUNE 10 | Though the band emerged from New York’s Hudson Valley, longtime home of folk legend Pete Seeger, The Felice Brothers honed its folk and country sound playing for tips in the subways of Manhattan. In May, its revamped lineup released “Undress,” full of gentle harmonies and politically conscious lyrics. Johnathan Rice opens at 9 p.m. at Gasa Gasa.

‘Fetal heartbeat’ bill becomes law ... the city’s hurricane plans ... marriage at 16 ... and more

# The Count

Thumbs Up/ Thumbs Down

State Sen. Wesley Bishop, D-New Orleans, reimbursed Southern University at New Orleans (SUNO) $20,516 after a WVUE-TV report revealed Bishop was taking sick pay from his job at SUNO while being paid as a legislator. Bishop, the university’s associate vice chancellor of academic affairs, claimed 122 sick days in 2017 and 2018 while he was working in Baton Rouge.

The number of U.S. states where capital punishment is legal. Louisiana is one of them.

A DVO C AT E S TA F F P H OTO B Y M A R K B A L L A R D

Supporters of Planned Parenthood rallied on the steps of the State Capitol May 30 against a ‘fetal heartbeat’ bill, which Gov. John Bel Edwards signed into law.

GOVERNOR SIGNS ‘FETAL HEARTBEAT’ BILL — NO EXCEPTIONS FOR RAPE OR INCEST AFTER HOURS OF PERSONAL STORIES AND DEBATE, THE LOUISIANA HOUSE PASSED THE SO-CALLED “FETAL HEARTBEAT” BILL LAST WEEK

U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, singlehandedly blocked a disaster relief bill that had been passed by the Senate in an 85-8 vote and was sent to the House for “unanimous consent.” Roy complained the bill included “$19 billion that is not paid for,” while simultaneously complaining it didn’t have $4.5 billion for President Donald Trump’s “crisis” at the Mexican border. Ironic, given that Texas is still waiting for Hurricane Harvey recovery money and that Trump currently is peddling an unpaid-for $16 billion aid package for farmers directly harmed by his tariffs policy.

Andrew Bautsch pleaded

guilty to one charge of misdemeanor battery stemming from an incident in March when he refused to leave the Pontchartrain Hotel just hours after his wedding. Bautsch, the executive director of the Louisiana GOP, originally was accused of criminal trespassing and resisting an officer who was working a security detail. Bautsch was credited with time served.

that would ban abortion around the sixth week of pregnancy. The vote was 79-23, and Gov. John Bel Edwards signed the bill May 30.

The bill, authored by State Sen. John Milkovich, D-Shreveport, would require doctors to perform an ultrasound prior to an abortion to determine if a fetal heartbeart was present. They would then have to keep a copy of that ultrasound in a patient’s medical records.

The Louisiana chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) released a statement saying the organization was committed to fighting to keep the bill from taking effect.

“Senate Bill 184 is a plainly unconstitutional reminder of just how far Louisiana politicians are willing to go to interfere in these deeply personal medical decisions and force women to continue pregnancies against their will,” said Alanah Odoms Hebert, the chapter’s executive director. “We’re committed to making sure this brazen attack on the constitutional right to abortion access never takes effect.”

State Rep. Valarie Hodges, R-Denham Springs, said bringing the bill forward was a “very solemn responsibility.”

“In Louisiana, we have a culture of love of life, love of family and love of God,” Hodges said. “The heartbeat is the biggest indication of life there is.”

Hodges shared a personal story with members about her son and his pregnant wife being told their child would not have a brain. They chose not to have an abortion and the child was born healthy, she said.

Her family history is similar to that of Gov. John Bel Edwards and his wife Donna, who chose not to have an abortion when their daughter was diagnosed in vitro with spina bifida.

State Rep. Ted James, D-Baton Rouge, who opposed the bill, said, “One thing was very consistent in both of those stories is that they had a conversation as a family — they made a choice.”

The ban — which passed the Senate 31-5 earlier this month — would outlaw abortion before many women know they are pregnant. At six weeks, a woman has missed her period for only a few weeks, and factors unrelated to pregnancy, such as diet and stress, can cause late periods.

Louisiana’s new law is contingent on ongoing battles over Mississippi’s “heartbeat bill,” which was signed into law in March. Last week, U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves temporarily blocked the law, which was set to go into effect July 1.

The only exceptions to the ban would be if the physician determines the abortion is necessary to prevent the death or “a serious risk of the

No executions have been carried out in Louisiana since 2010 for a number of factors, including the lack of availability of the drugs prescribed to carry out the death penalty. A state Senate committee last week struck down a bill that would have allowed drug manufacturers to sell the drugs to the state anonymously.

Earlier bills this year that would have outlawed the death penalty in Louisiana were rejected in both the Senate and House.

Cantrell, city officials announce 2019 hurricane season plans Mayor LaToya Cantrell, surrounded by more than 40 city officials and emergency response partners, said at a press conference last week that New Orleans’ city-assisted hurricane evacuation strategy for this year’s hurricane season is to pay close attention to water levels when assessing the severity of a storm.

“Something that we have to stay focused on is the water, not so much the level of a storm,” Cantrell said. “It’s the water that has the greatest impact on our city and on our people.”

Officials stressed the importance of residents making an evacuation plan now that includes any elderly family members and pets and registering anyone who may need extra assistance during an emergency by calling 311 or visiting ready.nola.gov.

District C City Councilwoman Kristin Gisleson Palmer praised the Cantrell administration for its hurricane preparation efforts. “I have seen an incredible amount

OPENING GAMBIT of preparedness in my district and throughout the city in the past year that I’ve not seen in previous administrations,” she said.

Ben Schott, the meteorologist who heads the National Weather Service office in Slidell, said this hurricane season — June 1 through Nov. 30 — is predicted to be “average.” (The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has predicted four to eight hurricanes this year.) However, he urged residents to make a plan should a storm hit the city. “It only takes one,” he said, a sentiment echoed by several other speakers.

Shaun Ferguson, superintendent of the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD), said that all eight districts in the area are equipped with gas-powered generators, boats, trailers and high-water vehicles. Sewerage and Water Board (S&WB) Director Ghassan Korban said 116 of the city’s 120 pumps are “ready and available to be used at a moment’s notice.”

When asked what impact a hurricane could have on the Mississippi River given its recent elevated levels, Dana Ray, civil engineer at the Army Corps of Engineers, said that even with the higher water levels, “a storm surge in the river would not elevate it any higher to where it will overtop the bank.”

Cantrell reminded residents that the Smoothie King Center, which the city announced last week was New Orleans’ new evacuation site, was “a place of last resort. This is not somewhere that you can go just to go. It’s to get out.” — KAYLEE POCHE

U.S. Rep. Steve King slams Louisiana for Katrina response — again In March, U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, slammed Louisiana and New Orleans for the official response to Hurricane Katrina and the federal floods, drawing rebukes from officials including Gov. John Bel Edwards. King did so again last week at a town hall in Hornick, Iowa, which flooded two months ago when its own levee breached.

“I’ve been to other disasters, hurricane disasters, where people didn’t step up like you all stepped up here in Hornick. And so, I mentioned that,” King said, according to an account in the Sioux City Journal.

“I am going to omit the geography here, so we don’t end up with a national media firestorm.

“But everybody in that state had to get on their Twitter account or do a press conference to tell how offended they were that, I guess, they didn’t meet the standards of Hornick.”

Edwards had responded to King’s March remarks, tweeting, “These comments are disgusting and

substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function” of the pregnant woman — or for “medically futile” pregnancies in which the fetus would be unable to live after birth.

James and State Rep. Denise Marcelle, D-Baton Rouge, proposed an amendment that would have made exceptions to the ban if the woman said her pregnancy was a result of rape or incest. The amendment failed by a vote of 35-67.

Another failed amendment by State Rep. Julie Stokes, R-Kenner, would have given victims of rape and incest 10 weeks to decide to have an abortion. Stokes, who regularly votes for abortion restrictions, said she was nervous to bring up the amendment forward, citing a good relationship with many of the bill’s proponents as well as the Louisiana Family Forum and Louisiana Right to Life.

Hodges repeatedly stated the bill would outlaw abortions after 10-12 weeks, referring to a handout she passed out on the floor that she said came from the Louisiana Department of Health. However, previous expert testimony and reports have said it would ban them after six weeks. Stokes brought this up on the floor as a reason she was proposing her amendment.

Physicians who violated the proposed law would be fined up to $1,000 per incident, imprisoned for up to two years or both. The violation also could be grounds for suspending or revoking a medical license.

Georgia, Kentucky and Ohio already have passed similar bans, and several other state legislatures are considering following suit.

OPENING GAMBIT disheartening. When communities are affected by disasters, we come together to help each other, not tear each other down.”

House Minority Whip Steve Scalise chimed in, saying, “His comments about Katrina victims are absurd and offensive, and are a complete contradiction to the strength and resilience the people of New Orleans demonstrated to the entire nation in the wake of the total devastation they experienced.”

U.S. Rep. Cedric Richmond, a Democrat who represents New Orleans, was more blunt. ”My heart goes out to all Iowans,” Richmond tweeted.

“Though it unsettles me that @ SteveKingIA would dare compare them to the countless victims of Katrina, many of whom lost their lives.

When people show you who they are, believe them. Steve King is a white supremacist and I won’t stand for it.”

Richmond’s “white supremacist” comment came a couple of months after King had given a controversial interview to The New York Times, in which he asked, “White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive? Why did I sit in classes teaching me about the merits of our history and our civilization?”

Public reaction — from both Dem-

ocrats and Republicans — was swift.

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning white supremacy (for which King voted yes) and removed King from the powerful Judiciary and Agricultural Committees.

King made reference to those removals yesterday, according to the Sioux City Journal: “King said some House members, unasked by him to take the step, are working to see him put back on committees. ‘They were appalled by the injustice of this,’ King said, while asserting he was misquoted by the Times.” — KEVIN ALLMAN

How young is too young to be married in Louisiana?

A Louisiana House committee advanced a bill last week that would set 16 as the minimum age for marriage in the state. Louisiana currently does not have a legal minimum age for marriage. Minors need parental consent to get married, and if they are under 16 they need parental consent and the authorization from a juvenile court judge.

Under the proposed law, sponsored by state Sen. Yvonne Colomb, D-Baton Rouge, minors 16 and 17 seeking to get married would have to obtain the permission of a parent and a judge.

Some committee members did not agree that 16 was old enough

and contended that 18 would be the appropriate age. State Reps. Tanner Magee, R-Houma, and Mike Johnson, R-Pineville, advocated raising the age to 18. Referring to a bill that previously was struck down, Magee asked why lawmakers had supported a proposal that would have raised the minimum smoking age to 21, but not a child marriage ban.

“We want to trust [minors] to make the most important decision of their entire lives when their brains aren’t even fully formed yet,” Magee said in the House Committee on Civil Law and Procedure.

The committee also approved an amendment to the marriage age bill that would limit the possible age difference to two years, instead of four.

Legislators, including Magee, voiced concern at the idea of a 16-year-old being able to marry a 20-year-old under the proposed law.

“It’s not a perfect bill and we don’t live in a perfect world, but I think it’s a good start,” Johnson said about the amendment after the meeting.

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle agreed that certain circumstances, such as the right to receive military benefits, would warrant underage spouses getting married to enlisted members.

The proposal previously passed the Senate floor in a 22-15 vote after it was amended to set the minimum age at 16. During the committee

COMMENTARY

THE ENTIRE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY, INCLUDING TRIBUTARIES

to the great river, is flooding or in imminent danger of flooding. The past 12 months were America’s third-wettest since 1895, when record-keeping began. The Mississippi Delta is in its fourth month of flood stage; Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant compares it to the Great Flood of 1927, the worst in our nation’s history.

In Louisiana, for the first time ever, the Bonnet Carre Spillway has opened twice in one year to relieve pressure on levees — and that’s still not enough, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Morganza Spillway now will be opened June 6, for only the third time in its history, sending billions of cubic feet of water sluicing into the Atchafalaya Basin.

The Bonnet Carre first opened in the 1930s and has

opened 14 times since. Those who scoff at climate change should consider this: Eight of those openings have occurred in the last 10 years.

And hurricane season began June 1.

Water has always been both a source of economic life as well as an existential threat to Louisiana, whether it comes down the river or up from the Gulf of Mexico.

Lately, it has loomed more as a threat. That’s why it’s inexplicable that Congress has extended the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which has helped millions all across America recover from devastating floods, for only two weeks on May 30 — one day before it was set to expire.

That’s a pathetic testament to partisan gridlock.

The sad (and infuriating) irony of Congress’ failure

A S S O C I AT E D P R E S S / GERALD HERBERT

Workers opened the gates of the Bonnet Carre spillway March 2018 to divert water from the rising Mississippi River, left, to Lake Pontchartrain in Norco.

to extend the nation’s flood insurance program for more than two weeks is the fact that it’s a genuinely bipartisan — and bicoastal — issue. Flooding affects all parts of our nation, from California to the Ohio and Allegheny valleys, from the upper Midwest to the Deep South.

Both the U.S. House and Senate, as well as the White House, had indicated support for extending the NFIP, but two representatives — both Republicans — objected several weeks ago to what

should have been a simple extension as Congress went into recess over the Memorial Day holiday. Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky blocked the NFIP extension as part of an overall objection to a $19 billion recovery relief package, while Rep. Chip Roy, an acolyte of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, demanded a recorded vote, presumably to use it as a political cudgel against Democrats.

A week later, on the eve of its expiration, Congress extended the program for two weeks.

We often criticize Louisiana’s

U.S. Sen. John Neely Kennedy, but in this case he accurately summarized the problem.

“This is not a time to let the National Flood Insurance Program lapse. Millions of families depend on the NFIP to protect their homes and businesses,” Kennedy said in a statement.

“We’re under unprecedented threat from flooding, and hurricane season is upon us. … The American people need Congress to do its job.”

We agree. Just as people from New York City to Brownsville, Texas, make hurricane preparation lists, it’s time for Congress to do its most important hurricane season task: renew and extend the NFIP — and fund it fully.

look dumb. In fairness, the latest example came at the hands of only 14 legislators — all of them members of the House Appropriations Committee — who voted to kill a bill that would legalize sports betting.

Senate Bill 153 by state Sen. Danny Martiny, R-Kenner, would have authorized sports betting, which is already wildly popular — but not legal — across Louisiana. Martiny’s bill easily cleared the Senate and one House committee, but it was redirected to the Appropriations Committee in a procedural move intended to kill the measure.

Mission accomplished. Only six committee members voted to keep the bill alive.

Led by chairman Rep. Cameron Henry, R-Metairie, the committee first loaded up Martiny’s bill with unwieldy amendments, then voted to kill it. The measure could still be revived, but the clock is ticking down to final adjournment on Thursday, June 6.

Thirty-three other states have either legalized some form of sports betting or are poised to do so.

Mississippi authorized it last year and has since sucked millions out of Louisiana’s economy.

I have no interest in sports betting; my concern is purely pragmatic. If nearly two-thirds of the 50 states already allow something that is common in all of them, Louisiana has to be insane not to join the crowd.

Failing to do so deprives the state of needed revenue and encourages the outflow of bettor dollars to other states.

It’s not as if we are averse to gambling. Louisiana has a land-based casino in New Orleans, 15 riverboat casinos (most of which are virtually land-based), four thoroughbred race tracks (each of which has slot machines in addition to pari-mutuel wagering), and countless video poker machines at truck stops, bars and restaurants.

What’s the big objection to sports betting?

Truth is, only devout religious conservatives maintain an honest opposition to sports betting. Most of the House Appropriations Committee was just playing politics. (See below for the names of those who voted to kill the bill.)

“I want Louisiana to be able to

compete with Mississippi and other states,” Martiny says. “Tennessee passed it with no brick-and-mortar requirement. It’s all online with an app. Sports betting is everywhere.

This isn’t an expansion of gaming, this is a recognition and taxing of an underground economy.”

Unless something changes soon, it’s going to stay underground in Louisiana for at least another year — thanks to the 14 House Appropriations Committee members who bet against Louisiana. Here they are: State Reps. Cameron Henry, R-Metairie; Franklin Foil, R-Baton Rouge; Beryl Amedee, R-Houma; Tony Bacala, R-Prairieville; Johnny Berthelot, R-Gonzales; Bubba Chaney, R-Rayville; Rick Edmonds, R-Baton Rouge; Julie Emerson, R-Carencro; Reid Falconer, R-Mandeville; Lance Harris, R-Alexandria; Jack McFarland, R-Jonesboro; Blake Miguez, R-Erath; Steve Pylant, R-Winnsboro; and Scott Simon, R-Abita Springs.

Disclosure: Businessman John Georges, who owns Gambit, is a big shot in the video poker business and wants video poker establishments to be able to offer sports betting if it’s legalized. Martiny’s bill originally did not include video poker establishments, but it was amended by the House Appropriations Committee to include them. Ultimately, that and other amendments led to the bill’s demise.

Hey Blake, Who’s the artist behind the New Orleans-themed mural inside the restrooms at Mahony’s in the French Quarter?

Dear reader,

The murals at Mahony’s Po-Boys & Seafood restaurant at Iberville and Dauphine streets are proof that you’ll sometimes find art in the most unexpected places. The murals are the work of local artist and designer Gordon Linge. He and his wife Jill Jeskin are best known for designing local museums and interactive displays, including those at the Saints Hall of Fame Museum, the Westwego Historical Museum and Lafitte’s Barataria Museum.

Linge said the mural at Mahony’s is the first time his artwork has been featured in a restroom. “You could say my career’s gone down the toilet,” he joked in an interview with Gambit. He was commissioned to do the mural by Mahony’s owner Jim Huger.

Linge said Huger mentioned an establishment he visited that featured artwork of faces (and their prying

eyes) on the restroom walls. After coming up with a concept, Linge used pen and ink to draw the six panels of the Mahony’s mural in about six weeks.

They were drawn by hand in black and white and then reproduced in red for the men’s room and a rust or orange color for the women’s restroom.

Most of the figures depicted in the mural are not patterned after a specific person but instead represent a typical New Orleans character such as a musician, a Zulu character, a French Quarter tourist or a second line grand marshal. You’ll also see likenesses of Pete Fountain, Al Hirt, Fats Domino, Ruthie the Duck Girl, Mr. Okra, Arthur Hardy and Guy Fieri, who featured the Magazine Street Mahony’s on his show “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.”

Those in the know also will spot figures that look like Huger, his wife, children and dog, as well as Linge’s two nieces, their husbands and children.

BLAKEVIEW THIS WEEK MARKS THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY of D-Day, a pivotal event in

World War II history that has important ties to New Orleans.

The Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944 was the largest seaborne invasion in history and led to the liberation of German-occupied France. The LCVPs (which stood for landing craft, vehicle personnel) that transported soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normandy during the invasion were known as Higgins boats, designed by Andrew Jackson Higgins, whose New Orleans-based company Higgins Industries created and produced the amphibious landing craft. Higgins landed the Navy contract after modifying his shallow-water work boats, which were used to support oil and gas exploration in Louisiana bayous.

During WWII, Higgins’ eight local plants employed more than 25,000 workers and produced an estimated 280,000 vessels of all types and sizes.

University of New Orleans historian Stephen Ambrose, who was President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s official biographer, said Eisenhower once told him that Higgins was “the man who won the war for us.” That helped inspire Ambrose to push for the creation of the D-Day Museum, which opened June 6, 2000 and later was designated by Congress as The National World War II Museum. A reproduction of a Higgins landing craft is among its many artifacts and displays, which are viewed by hundreds of thousands of museum visitors each year.

TO IMAGINE NEW ORLEANS AS A BOOMING METROPOLIS, IT’S SIMPLER TO TRAVEL BACK IN TIME — past Jim Crow, past Reconstruction. Even further still, before General P.G.T. Beauregard ordered his Confederate soldiers to fire the first shot of the Civil War. Arrive at the beginning of the 19th century, in 1803.

The United States has just purchased Louisiana from Napoleonic France. The Port of New Orleans, with its roughly 8,000 residents, will be incorporated as a municipality in two years. A history of French and Spanish colonization, along with the transatlantic slave trade, has produced a cosmopolitan city. The year 1809 will see some 10,000 refugees from Haiti (formerly Saint Domingue) arrive by way of Cuba, doubling the city’s population and furthering its ethnic heterogeneity. By 1820, New Orleans will be the South’s largest city, with an influx of settlers growing the population to just over 46,000 by the end of the decade. By 1840 the city’s population will swell to 102,000, making it the nation’s third-most populous city — and its wealthiest.

For New Orleans journalist Daniel Brook, within this period of history lie the seeds of another, often overlooked story.

In “The Accident of Color: A Story of Race in Reconstruction” (W.W. Norton & Company, June 18, $28), Brook surveys the “misfit metropolises” of New Orleans and Charleston, South Carolina throughout the 1800s, tracing the development of America’s “binary racial system.” Prior to the Civil War, Brook tells of a three-part system of race — with free, biracial people sharing some of the same rights and privileges of citizenship as their white peers.

“In the period between annexation and the Civil War, roughly three-quarters of the lots in the Treme and Marigny neigh-

borhoods were owned at some point by a free person of color,” Brook writes, noting, “Decades after annexation, New Orleans was essentially two cities, side by side but culturally distinct, using different languages and abiding by different racial codes.”

In the polychromatic city of New Orleans, interracial mixing was common. Categories often became indistinct.

As the city Americanized, however, its racial categories hardened — black and white — turning multicultural New Orleans into “an ordinary American city in which race trumped class every time.”

Brook — the son of a mother from Brooklyn, New York and a father from Birmingham, Alabama — visited the Deep South often as a child, and says the South “wasn’t a foreign country to me like it is to some people in the North.” Raised on Long Island, New York, and educated at Yale University, he’s an award-winning journalist and the author of two previous books. After serving as a writer-in-residence at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Brook moved to New Orleans in 2011 and began researching school desegregation. Most of the results pertained to the 1960s, but he found one article concerning the 1870s.

“I was a pretty interested civilian when it came to the history of these things, and I had no idea the schools were desegregated here during Reconstruction,” Brook says, so he looked for a book about the topic: “And there was no book. … I decided I was going to write about this because I wanted to research it.”

The Historic New Orleans Collection (THNOC), the Louisiana Division of the New Orleans Public Library, and the Earl K. Long Library at the University of New Orleans were among his local research hubs. Brook also completed research as a fellow at Tulane University’s New Orleans Center for the Gulf South.

In Brook’s telling, as Anglo-American racism and its attendant myths of racial purity spread throughout the early to mid-1800s, white supremacy engulfed the South. In 1857, the U.S. Supreme Court’s Dred Scott decision effectively eliminated any remaining rights of free people of color.

In 1860, South Carolina became the first state to secede from the Union. Louisiana followed suit, and the Civil War commenced shortly thereafter, ending in 1865.

“The Accident of Color” delves into what Brook calls the “remarkable and largely unknown civil rights progress seen in New Orleans and Charleston after the Civil War.” It also explores a brand of anti-racist activism “rooted in a critique of the Amer-

ican system of race.”

“The whole activist toolbox that we know from the ’60s and also from more contemporary activism — sit-ins, civil disobedience, protests, petitions, test cases through the courts — all of these things are deployed [during Reconstruction] as well,” Brook says.

During the fight to desegregate New Orleans’ streetcars in 1867, Joseph Guillaume, a black man, boarded a whites-only car. According to some accounts, when ordered to leave by the conductor, Guillaume seized the reins and drove the car down the street himself. The following day, a meeting of freedmen on Congo Square developed into a protest, with some 500 free people of color working collectively and peacefully to occupy whites-only cars passing on Rampart Street.

In Union-occupied New Orleans, attempts to desegregate schools date back as far as 1862, resulting in the Union administration opening the South’s first separate public schools for “children of color.” In 1865, Robert Mills Lusher — an eponym for a public charter school in present-day New Orleans and a man who wrote that the purpose of public schools was to “vindicate the honor and supremacy of the Caucasian race” — was elected state superintendent of education.

Robert Isabelle, a mixed-race state legislator and a pioneer of New Orleans integration, pursued a civil rights case through the courts after his child and two other African-American boys were denied admittance to one of New Orleans’ public schools. The integrationists won, and in 1870 New Orleans public schools were ordered to open to all regardless of race or color.

The Ku Klux Klan, which originated in Tennessee in 1865, inspired regional offshoots of white supremacist groups. In the backwoods of Louisiana, the White League formed in 1874; the Crescent City White League was established in the same year. The Battle of Liberty Place took place that September, with the White League occupying New Orleans for three days and overthrowing the government in order to place their favored gubernatorial candidate in power, a moment in history cited by historians as the end of Reconstruction policies in Louisiana.

But as Brook writes, “White men in black robes on the Supreme Court would do more to turn back civil rights than the white men in white robes of the Ku Klux Klan.”

While 1875 saw the passing of the Enforcement Act — a response to civil rights violations against African-Americans — the Supreme Court struck it down in 1883. America would not see another federal civil rights law pass until 1957.

The turn of the 19th century into the 20th would be marked by the revocation of rights for people of color. In Louisiana, interracial marriage was outlawed in 1894. New Orleans’ streetcars were resegregated in 1903, and would remain that way for more than half a century.

The police force, formerly integrated, became all-white by 1910. The New Orleans Public Library was founded in 1897, but it would be nearly two decades before a branch was opened for people of color.

Across the country, Jim Crow laws took hold, eradicating much of the Reconstruction Era’s racial progress. Plessy v. Ferguson, a landmark case that upheld racial segregation laws on the basis that public facilities were “separate but equal,” would serve as a harsh demonstration of the country’s bullheaded racial concepts. For Brook, the Plessy argument was not so much about the unfair treatment of different races, but the impossibility of categorizing race in a way that is “anything other than arbitrary or capricious.”

“The firm racial binary Americans accept to this day is a result of Jim Crow, not a cause of it,” Brook writes, citing a famous quote of James Baldwin: “As long as you think you’re white, there is no hope for you. As long as you think you’re white, I’m going to be forced to think I’m black.”

Thinking along these lines, Brook asserts, “It’s crucially important that we’re critical about the racial categories we’ve inherited in a racist society. I’m not saying I have any answers to our racial predicament… But if there’s any hope, we at least have to acknowledge we’ve made this terrible mistake.”

Reflecting on the revocation of African-Americans’ civil rights following Reconstruction, Brook implies it’s possible there could be a time in the country’s future where people look back and note a strange historical period where same-sex couples were allowed to marry, or an aberration in America’s timeline where women had a right to abortion.

“In a period like we’re living through now,” Brook says, “it does make you fearful of what’s possible.”

— The launch of Daniel Brook’s “The Accident of Color: A Story of Race in Reconstruction” will be at Antenna Gallery (3718 St. Claude Ave.) at 7 p.m., Tuesday, June 18.

The Franklin returns with creative cocktails and bistro fare

The coupe the bartender slided in front of us was filled with a bright pink, iridescent liquid — not at all what my friend was expecting when she ordered the classic combination of gin, dry vermouth and a pickled onion.

But a Gibson it was and an excellent one at that. As our bartender explained — clearly she’d been asked the same question many times — the staff mixes red beets with onion brine, lending the pickling liquid a fuchsia sheen and just the slightest sweetness.

The drink is just one of several gussied-up versions on the cocktail menu at The Franklin, which reopened this spring with a new management team and overhauled bar and food menus.

The kitchen, led by chef Dane Harris, serves bistro-style dishes, some of which feel inspired by Louisiana without falling squarely within the confines of regional cooking. Beef tartare with “pho garnishes” nods to the city’s Vietnamese influences, while duck liver mousse comes across as modern French, flecked with large salt crystals and served with apricot mostarda and pickled beets. On the lighter side, a delicate tuna crudo is drizzled with citrus and topped with thin shavings of radish and watercress.

The short and straightforward list of entrees includes grilled trout with citrus salsa verde and a plate of short ribs with a punchy chimichurri.

One evening, a special cheekily dubbed Five Shades of Pork featured crispy and fatty pork belly with

braised pork shoulder over collards cooked with hunks of ham, as well as other hog bits. A small ramekin held a strawberry and serrano pepper vinaigrette that added bursts of acid with sweet and spicy notes.

An excellent dish of crispy fried, salty Brussels sprouts includes a cane syrup gloss and generous drizzle of garlicky mayonnaise.

The “Four Veg Monte” entree allows diners to choose from six vegetable sides; the selections all are good, but the presentation needs work as the serving bowls for all of the items crowd the table.

Chez Pierre opens in Lakeview THE FRENCH PASTRY ARTS have

become part of the Vietnamese culinary tradition through the generations, with bakeries turning out croissants and crackly-crusted banh mi loaves.

Now, the next generation of one local bakery family brings a different take on the idea in Lakeview.

Taylor Bui opened her Chez Pierre French Bakery (141 W. Harrison Ave.; www.chezpierreneworleans. com) at, joining a neighborhood business corridor that has drawn a new mix of eateries.

Bui’s mother, Katrina Tran, built Chez Pierre into a four-location

however, they are bakeries, with custom cakes and pastry as the main focus.

Bui’s Lakeview Chez Pierre is a neighborhood cafe with a bakery.

“I want to keep my mom’s touch but add the next generation,” Bui says. “It’s like a remix of me and my mom.”

Desserts cases are lined with mini cakes, creme brulee, colorful fruit tarts, eclairs and Napoleons.

There are also grab-and-go items for quick meals or snacks, such as spicy crawfish pies and meat pies, or banh pate so, palm-sized caps of puff pastry filled with what tastes like crumbled pork dumpling filling, scented with ginger.

Chez Pierre first opened in the 1980s as a traditional French bakery. Tran bought it in 2005 and added more of her own Vietnamese flavors. She previously had run Lin’s Bakery in Kenner and Frosty’s Caffe, a spot for bubble tea and banh mi in Metairie (which is now run by her ex-husband). With Chez Pierre, she created a model on which she could build.

MAKE YOUR

SUMMER SALES SIZZLE Promote your business in two hot issues of Gambit.

3-COURSE INTERVIEW

Leah Sarris Registered dietician, Director of Culinary Education and Training at NOCHI WHILE WORKING AS THE DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS at Tulane

University’s Goldring Center for Culinary Medicine, Leah Sarris taught students and doctors about the importance of healthy eating. In April, Sarris was tapped to helm the culinary program at the New Orleans Culinary & Hospitality Institute (NOCHI). The new director of culinary education and training spoke to Gambit about her role.

What will you do at NOCHI? Sarrs: My job is to build and manage the curriculum for students that come here for the certification program, both culinary and baking and pastry. There’s also continuing education that we will be building for front and back of the house ... for people in the industry. ... I also work with our enthusiasts’ classes. The enthusiasts’ classes are a fun way for the public to come and learn from a lot of New Orleans’ best chefs.

It might be good for someone who doesn’t necessarily want to get a certificate but just wants to learn more about cooking. We’ve already started offering those, and in June and July we have nine classes. Right now, they’re taught by guest chefs. We have Frank Brigtsen, Justin Devillier, Jason Goodenough, Tory McPhail and some others coming over within the next month.

How is NOCHI’s certificate program different from other types of culinary degrees?

C A LL BY J U NE 7!

To advertise contact your Gambit representative or Sandy (504) 483-3150, sandys@gambitweekly.com

S: I’m really excited that NOCHI has a unique perspective on culinary education. What makes it unique is that it’s a short program.

It’s 100 days, or five months, and it’s affordable, unlike a degree at your typical culinary school that can run a student in debt well over $30,000 or $60,000. This is a way for us to get people on the ground running without having to spend years in training. It’s getting a lot of the technical edu-

cation and teaching them all the skills that they need to get in the workforce quickly. I want to make it a world-class education that isn’t going to cost a fortune.

Your background includes restaurant work, food service, farming, culinary medicine and community outreach.

How will that influence NOCHI’s curriculum?

S: My belief is that chefs have a moral responsibility to care about the food they’re serving to patrons. I get excited about teaching people in the culinary industry what it means to eat nutritious food, because it’s changed so much over the past 20 years, including people’s perceptions versus the reality. The trends all point toward teaching people to be more plantcentric, more local, more sustainable — to eat healthier products. People are asking for it, so it’s a great time to be in this role where I can make sure students get this information. I’m also looking forward to building that into more of our continuing education opportunities and enthusiast classes.

My goal is to teach people that eating healthy food and eating great-tasting and great-looking food shouldn’t be exclusive from one another.

(At the Goldring Center) I saw there was need for education across different platforms and I learned that a lot of chefs were ready for more education, because they were asking me for it. I realized there is a lack of education across the board, from the medical community to the culinary community, and that we need to bring it up to date and stop selling out-of-touch views of what it means to eat well.

PREVIEW Anika

BY RAPHAEL HELFAND ANNIKA HENDERSON WAS A JOURNALIST splitting time between Bristol, England, and Berlin, Germany, when she met Geoff Barrow, a Bristol native and co-founder of Portishead. Barrow was looking for a vocalist to collaborate with his new band, BEAK, and Henderson was a perfect match. Deadpan, ice cold and supremely punk, her vocal style was just what BEAK needed to top off its understated, eerie instrumental work. Together, they released their first and only album, “Anika,” in 2010. The project features cover songs from across the spectrum. There’s folk (Bob Dylan’s “Masters of War”), experimental rock (Yoko Ono’s “Yang Yang”) and straight-ahead pop (“The End of the World,” a hit for Skeeter Davis). Henderson’s cool malaise ties it all together.

Henderson moved on to other projects. She’s released two albums with the Mexico City-based group Exploded View and hosts a show on Berlin Community Radio. She’s also performed as a DJ in some of the world’s trendiest clubs, from Berlin’s Berghain to Mexico City’s TRAICION. She performs a solo vocal set in New Orleans this week.

REVIEW ‘Mary McCartney: From the Print Drawer’

Gallier Historic House, 1132 Royal St. — Summer Dress exhibition reveals seasonal decor during the period of the home, including swapped fabrics for curtains, rugs and bedclothes. Through Sept. 3. www.hgghh.org.

BY D. ERIK BOOKHARDT YOU CAN LEARN A LOT ABOUT PEOPLE by running errands with them. I interviewed Linda McCartney, the late wife of former Beatle Paul McCartney, during her “Sun Prints” show at A Gallery for Fine Photography in 1994. We realized that we once were almost neighbors in New York City’s East Village and knew some of the same people, back when I was playing hooky from UNO and she was a photographer named Linda Eastman. We talked for an hour and a half as her daughter Mary refreshed our bottled water. Paul showed up and our conversation continued on the streets of the French Quarter, where we ducked into Walgreens when someone needed aspirin. It seemed shocking that we all stood in line when most celebs would have sent a staff gofer to fetch the pills. The McCartneys, beyond being extraordinarily nice, were the rare celebrities who seemed like everyone else in spite of it all.

Now Mary’s photographs are on the wall at A Gallery For Fine Photography. It is striking how her vision saliently and aesthetically reflects how many regular people see the world around them. Ordinary places and things are revealed in moments when they come across as epiphanies, and extraordinary people appear in ways that express the humanity we all share. “Butterfly in Pool” (pictured) reads like a beautiful mystery. How did it end up there? In “Beach House, Sussex,” a dark cottage on a rocky shore at dusk seems to glow with the souls of occupants over the ages. In “Joni Mitchell, London,” the iconic singer looks solemn, haughty and also vulnerable.

These works reflect Mary and her mom’s unselfconscious quality of awareness. I never forgot Linda’s empathy, kindness and generosity and was deeply saddened when she died in 1998. It is gratifying that so many of her visionary goals and traits live on with her idealistic and talented daughter Mary. Through Aug. 1. A Gallery for Fine Photography, 241 Chartres St., (504) 568-1313; www.agallery.com.
