SEVEN THINGS TO DO IN SEVEN DAYS

That’s no bull

“Mamma Mia!” THU.-SUN. JULY 11-21 | Featuring the music of ABBA, the musical tells the story of a bride trying to learn the identity of her biological father on the eve of her wedding on a Greek island.

At 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at Rivertown Theaters for the Performing Arts.

The Running of the NOLA Bulls is July 12-14

BY WILL COVIELLO

“She Loves Me”

ANDREW WARD HAS BEEN THE RUNNING OF THE NOLA BULLS’ POPE

Andrew I since the event’s inception in 2007. Every year he gives a convocation before the bulls — women roller derby league members armed with plastic bats and horned helmets — are released to “gore” thousands of participants running through New Orleans’ Warehouse District. In addition to hosting the Best Dressed Bull contest after the run, he has a few official duties, but he also is involved in solicited services and consultations.

“People come up and there’s a drunken maniac with a big feather hat and they’re like ‘Could you please give a blessing to my little child?’ ” Ward says. “I am like, ‘Sure, sure.’ ” During the Running of the Bulls, or San Fermin in Nueva Orleans, he’s officiated weddings, baptisms (with sangria) and even a funeral — for a man whose ashes were spread following the run. Ward is ordained by the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, the Universal Life Church and the Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus. He has presided over 212 weddings, he says.

His ministering seems straightforward compared to his career. Ward organizes and hosts music festivals in Sub-Saharan Africa and central Asia to promote HIV awareness. He speaks Arabic, Urdu and other languages, and he’s introduced bands including The Lumineers and Michael Franti & Spearhead in concerts from Uganda and Rwanda to Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan (a place “North Koreans won’t go because they think it’s too uptight,” he says).

On Saturday, July 13, he’ll mount the gate above the entrance to the Sugar Mill and deliver an impromptu convocation to let the Running of the Nola Bulls, or “encierro,” begin. The only time he had a written speech was for the first event, when the event’s co-founder, Mickey Hanning,

WED. JULY 10 | Shreveport native and current Nashville singer-songwriter Dylan LeBlanc returned to his teenage home of Muscle Shoals, Alabama to record his latest album, “Renegade,” which dropped June 7 on ATO Records. He channels his early influence, Neil Young, on its title track. Erin Rae and Kristin Diable open at 8:30 p.m. at One Eyed Jacks.

THU.-SUN. JULY 11-14 | Based on the same story as “You’ve Got Mail,” “She Loves Me” reveals the unwitting blossoming of a romance between a perfume shop owner and a store clerk who each secretly corresponds with an unknown “dear friend.” Tulane University’s Summer Lyric Theater presents the musical at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at Dixon Hall. gave him a prayer written in Basque.

“I got a bad internet translation,” Ward says. “I am going to Pamplona with a prayer and a sock. Then I was like, ‘We’re going to march into the future together,’ and, ‘Now we should kneel.’ Everyone did it, and it sort of evolved.”

There are several events in the San Fermin in Nueva Orleans festival.

Ward hosts the Txupinazo, a Friday night party on the eve of the run. It’s also a fundraiser for Beth’s Friends Forever (www.bethsfriendsforever. org), named after Running of the Bulls co-founder Beth Hanning, which supports women battling breast cancer.

The encierro, inspired by the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain begins at 8 a.m. Saturday at the Sugar Mill. Runners traditionally wear white outfits with red sashes, bandanas and accoutrements, and some runners wear costumes. There are a couple of hundred bulls from roller derby leagues across the U.S. who chase runners on the mile-long course. The route circles the Warehouse District and returns the runners to the Sugar Mill, where there’s music by Morning 40 Federation and DJs, as well as a mechanical bull, performing aerialists, bars and food trucks. Le Fiesta de Pantalones is an

afterparty at the Rusty Nail beginning at 11:30 a.m. Saturday (registered runners get Disco Lemonades for $5).

El Pobre de Mi caps the festivities from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday at Lula Restaurant Distillery. The event’s name is inspired by Ernest Hemingway, and a Hemingway lookalike contest concludes the event. There also are burlesque performances by members of Roxie Le Rouge’s Big Deal Burlesque.

Ward usually attends but doesn’t serve as host. It’s not that he’s short of words or inspiration, but he usually loses his voice by then, he says.

“The Ballad, the Broad and the Bard” SUN. JULY 14 & 21 | Leslie Castay reprises her cabaret show of songs inspired by Shakespeare. At 7:30 p.m. during the New Orleans Shakespeare Festival at Tulane’s at Lupin Theater.

The Rolling Stones SUN. JULY 14 | The Rolling Stones closed the first concert of its “No Filter” tour with “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.” After the postponement of its show at the 2019 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, local fans finally get a shot at their own satisfaction. Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk and Soul Rebels open at 7:30 p.m. at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

Sara Miller received the 2019

This year’s bounty per nutria tail, as set by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries (LDWF).

Achievement Award in Writing from the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE).

Miller, a junior at St. Mary’s Dominican High School, submitted two writing samples that were deemed best by a panel of NCTE judges. More than 400 students entered the annual contest, which has been in existence since 1957.

In 2002, the LDWF established the Coastwide Nutria Control Program, giving licensed hunters a financial incentive to rid the marshes of the invasive rodent, whose appetite for plant roots destroys the wetlands.

The season runs from November through March, and this season’s bounty is $1 higher than that of previous years.

Drew Brees gave $250,000

to KIPP Believe, a primary education school in Gentilly’s Columbia Parc community. The New Orleans Saints quarterback’s donation was combined with other monies to open the $26 million facility, which opened in April and serves neighborhood children from kindergarten through eighth grade. The school can accommodate 750 students and has science labs, art facilities, a gym and an outdoor playing field.

The New Orleans Chapter of Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) gave out 24 schol-

arships worth at least $1,000 each to area students who were going on to pursue post-secondary education. According to the local chapter, PFLAG New Orleans gives out more scholarship funds than any other chapter.

Dr. Jason Halperin, a physician at CresentCare, says the best indicator of progress in ending the HIV epidemic is a drop in the rate of new cases.

NEW HIV CASES IN THE STATE ON THE DECLINE

?

WHILE LOUISIANA’S TOTAL NUMBER OF HIV CASES HAVE RISEN IN RECENT YEARS, the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) last week

announced that fewer people in the state were newly diagnosed with HIV in 2018 than in at least a decade.

According to the LDH’s Infectious Disease Epidemiology Unit, there were 989 people newly diagnosed with HIV in 2018, down from 1,124 new cases in 2016 — a 12 percent decline in three years.

Dr. Jason Halperin, a physician at CrescentCare health clinic in New Orleans, told Gambit earlier this year that the best single indicator of progress in ending the HIV epidemic was the decline in the rate of new cases. As long as the number of new HIV diagnoses is decreasing, “then it is a positive thing to see more people living with HIV because they’re not dying from AIDS, which was what used to happen,” Halperin said.

The 2018 total also breaks a benchmark in the number of new HIV cases diagnosed. Since 2005, the number of new diagnoses has not been fewer than 1,000 people per year.

Dr. Alexander Billioux, assistant secretary for the LDH’s Office of Public Health, said it might be more than 10 years since new cases were this low, due to potential underreporting in the state following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005.

“We know these storms had a big impact on the state’s health services at that time,” Billioux said. “Since there had not been fewer than 1,000 people with HIV diagnosed each year since 1988, it is quite possible that today’s number is the lowest in a generation.”

Billioux and Halperin both attribute the decline in new cases to increased access to screening for the virus throughout the state, as well as viral suppression of HIV through medication. Experts say a preventive drug known as PrEP also has the potential to help end the HIV epidemic — although studies show it largely is underused among the communities most at risk for contracting the virus.

The news of lower diagnoses of new HIV cases follows the announcement of an agreement between LDH and Asegua Therapeutics, owned by Gilead Sciences Inc., for an unlimited supply of a drug at a fixed price to treat hepatitis C. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately a quarter of people living with HIV in the United States also have hepatitis C. The drug covered by the deal cures up to 98% of hepatitis C patients.

‘Change the South’ bus tour ends in New Orleans Antonio Travis told a crowd of voting rights and prison reform activists last week that when he first saw voter registration advocates visit communities like his, he was skeptical. The crowd had gathered outside New Orleans City Hall for a voter registration drive.

“To be honest with y’all, when I see people who walk into my community and tell me I need to vote, they look like the teachers who told me I wasn’t going to be nothing,” Travis said.

“They look like the principals who told me I wasn’t going to be nothing.

They look like the police officers who labeled me before they even walked up to the car.”

But the crowd in front of Travis, who now is a youth leader for Families and Friends of Louisiana’s Incarcerated Children (FFLIC), included mostly black people and many individuals who served time in prison.

Travis was one of about 40 people present to kick off the final day of a four-day statewide bus tour aimed at registering black people and formerly incarcerated people to vote.

A table at the event was covered in flyers informing attendees of the passage of Act 636, a law that went into effect March 1 and allows people who have been out of prison for five years but are still on probation and/ or parole to register to vote. The law gave an additional 40,000 Louisiana residents the right to vote.

Many organizers still were abuzz from the previous night’s stop in Monroe, where turnout was much higher than expected — between 50 and 100 people, they said. Organizers said that while they had not gotten a large number of people impacted by the new law to register to vote, they were encouraged by their ability to spread awareness of it.

“A lot of people didn’t know the details or didn’t know that [the law] passed at all,” said Cliff Albright, co-founder of Black Voters Matter.

“So the number of people that just came, collected information, said, ‘Look, I’m going back. I’m going to tell five people, 10 people.’ — it was

just the energy (that) was really incredible.”

LaTosha Brown, co-founder of Black Voters Matter, said the turnout in Monroe was symbolic of high incarceration rates in rural areas.

“We have to recognize that rural America is not synonymous with white America,” she said. “Our community is in rural America, and oftentimes those folks are actually [overly] incarcerated.”

Albright said that Black Voters Matter has brought voter registration buses to states across the South. One of its largest campaigns involved efforts to mobilize voters during the Alabama Senate race of 2017, when Democrat Doug Jones narrowly beat Republican Roy Moore, who was accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women, several of whom were teenagers at the time. (Moore has announced he will run again for the seat in 2020.)

“We’ve been going around, basically in the old Confederacy, in this bus that we call the ‘blackest bus in America,’ ” Albright said. “We are going to change the state, we are going to change the South and we are going to change the nation.”

COMMENTARY

For the love of pets WE NEW ORLEANIANS LOVE OUR PETS as much as they

love us. In fact, that mutual devotion resulted in permanent changes to federal evacuation policies after Hurricane Katrina and the levee failures.

So many people refused to leave without their pets that later evacuation plans included pet-friendly shelters and instructions on what to bring with animals.

Hundreds, if not thousands, of animal-loving volunteers came to Louisiana and Mississippi in the days and weeks after Katrina, setting up triage centers and animal rescues, and trying to locate owners of lost pets.

Two of those volunteers, Danny Robertshaw and Ron Danta, are the subject of this week’s cover story for our Pets issue. Robertshaw and Danta drove to Louisiana with a much-needed truckload of pet supplies, leaving

with a trunkful of homeless dogs they aimed to place in new homes in South Carolina. Then they did it again.

And again. In all, they saved and found new homes for 600 dogs — and found their calling. Today, the foundation that grew from their initial effort, Danny and Ron’s Rescue, has rescued more than 11,000 dogs (including some from the aftermath of the Baton Rouge floods and Hurricane Harvey).

Their story is told in a much-lauded new documentary, “Life in the Doghouse,” and Gambit will host a free dog-friendly screening 7:30 p.m. July 9 at Second Line Brewing. We hope you (and your dog) will join us for Robertshaw and Danta’s uplifting story. At a time when there isn’t much uplift in the news, we promise you’ll come away awed at the difference two ordinary people can make.

Which brings us to an important request: Local shelters need your help, whenever and however you can give it. Just last week, the Jefferson Parish Animal Shelter called for help after rescuing more than 150 dogs, cats and other animals from a hoarding situation in Terrytown. The shelter already was full, and officials desperately need people to adopt or foster the animals in their care.

There’s so much to be done, and so much animal lovers can do. Spring is “kitten season” at local shelters, but litters of tiny cats need fostering all year long. Adoptable cats and dogs, both healthy and those with special needs, are always in need of permanent homes.

There’s a myth that volunteering at an animal shelter is depressing. Actually, it’s quite the opposite. Shelter workers can’t possibly give each animal the time it deserves, so volunteers play a vital role by

walking and playing with dogs or playing with and cuddling cats. Individual attention from a volunteer gives an animal the interaction, emotional support and exercise it needs to be healthy — and it’s fun.

If you love pets, please consider contacting the shelter or rescue of your choice and ask how you can help. Everyone wins.

Gambit will host a free screening of “Life in the Doghouse” at Second Line Brewing (433 N. Bernadotte St.) in Mid-City Tuesday, July 9. A “doggie social hour” will begin at 6:30 p.m. and the movie will start at 7:30 p.m. There will be adoptable dogs on site — and, of course, you can bring your own dog for an outing.

button. This year’s statewide election in Louisiana is no exception. As candidates and would-be candidates prepare to run, three reform groups likewise are preparing a coordinated campaign for a slate of long-range initiatives they hope the governor and next Legislature will support.

They call their effort “Reset Louisiana.” It’s the latest multifaceted reform drive by the Public Affairs Research Council (PAR), the Council for A Better Louisiana (CABL) and the Committee of 100. All three groups are guided by boards composed of business and civic leaders — but, unlike the uber-partisan Louisiana Association of Business and Industry, these three groups are strictly nonpartisan; they neither endorse nor oppose candidates, and they don’t have PACs. Reset Louisiana (www.reset-louisiana.com) in some ways is an extension of ongoing efforts by all three groups, with some new twists.

The Reset initiative concentrates on four areas: state finances, education, transportation infrastructure and criminal justice/public safety.

Already CABL has held “informational meetings” with roughly 90 first-time legislative candidates to introduce them to the Reset agenda. “The good news is there are people out there who are serious about running and who are hungry for information,” says CABL President Barry Erwin. “We hope to give them information that is useful before they get to the Legislature and discover that things are not what they thought.”

Reset’s four areas of concentration have presented challenges for decades, with periodic advances and retreats. In some cases, the

state has made significant gains — such as improved high school graduation rates — but much remains to be done.

For example, Louisiana once spent heavily on early childhood education (before Bobby Jindal became governor), then all but abandoned it — except for continuing existing federal programs. Earlier this year, lawmakers made modest reinvestments in early childhood programs, but Reset aims to make high-quality programs for at-risk children from birth to age 3 a real priority. It should not be a partisan issue.

“What we’re trying to do is remind people that reforms take a lot of effort by a lot of people over a long time,” says Robert Scott, president of PAR. “There is no silver bullet.”

Although Reset is led by business-oriented reform groups, the head of the left-leaning Louisiana Budget Project (LBP) praises the effort.

“There’s a lot to like about the Reset agenda,” says Jan Moller, LBP executive director. “Increasing investments in early childhood education and making college more affordable are issues we can all rally around. …

While we disagree on some points — and would urge extreme caution before a constitutional rewrite — this is a serious platform that merits a full debate.”

LBP is in the process of drafting its own proposed reforms under the heading “Invest in Louisiana,” which will be unveiled in August and focus on programs that benefit workers, children and families.

As Reset’s website notes, issues emphasized during campaigns often become legislative priorities. After the campaign season concludes, we’ll see if candidates — and voters — truly are ready to hit the reset button … and to invest in Louisiana.

Hey Blake, On the side of Matassa’s grocery store in the French Quarter is a small plaque that mentions a Matassa’s Bar and its role in the history of the Southern Decadence Parade.

What can you tell me about the bar and its connection to Southern Decadence?

Dear reader,

In 1924, Giovanni “John” Matassa, a Sicilian immigrant, opened a bar called Johnny Matassa’s next to his corner grocery store at Dauphine and St. Philip streets. John’s son Cosimo Matassa was the legendary recording engineer whose studios on Rampart Street and elsewhere recorded some of the seminal hits of early rock ’n’ roll and New Orleans rhythm and blues for stars such as Fats Domino, Professor Longhair, Little Richard, Ernie K-Doe, Lloyd Price and many others.

In the early 1970s, Johnny Matassa’s became a gathering spot for founders of what would become the Southern Decadence Parade, organized by members of the gay and lesbian community and now a major event each Labor Day weekend. “[The bar] was easy just to drop by and have a few drinks,” said co-founder Robert Laurent in the book “Southern Dec-

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

adence in New Orleans” by Howard Philips Smith and Frank Perez. “It became our meeting place, our starting off point, if you will, where everyone met for a night in the Quarter, especially after a night of bourre,” he added, referring to the Cajun card game.

The Southern Decadence event traces its roots to August 1972, when it began as an end-of-summer party.

The next year it was organized as a costumed walking parade, starting at Johnny Matassa’s Bar and ending at Belle Reve, the name friends used to describe a Barracks Street home owned by co-founder David Randolph. The name was borrowed from Tennessee Williams’ “A Streetcar Named Desire.”

“I thought it would be outlandish for all of us to meet at Matassa’s in full costume and then parade back to Belle Reve for the party,” Laurent said.

Johnny Matassa’s Bar closed around 1980 and Southern Decadence moved its starting point to the Golden Lantern bar on Royal Street. Matassa’s Market remains open at 1001 Dauphine St., run

by Cosimo Matassa’s sons John and Louis. The plaque on the side of the building reads, “Through this portal of Matassa’s Bar from 1973 to 1980 the initial Southern Decadence Paraders marched into history.”

Notice of Second Public Meeting New Orleans City Council Utility Docket UD-17-03 Entergy New Orleans 2018 Integrated Resource Plan Every three years an Entergy New Orleans (ENO) Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) is produced. This is the planning process by which Entergy estimates its future power supply needs and assesses the resources available to it to meet those needs. The IRP is produced following an open, transparent planning process through which all relevant resources are investigated. Resources considered include supply-side (such as power plants) and demand-side (programs to modify customer loads to reduce or shift loads from hours with high electricity costs or reliability constraints to other hours). The factors influencing choice among these resources are considered in the planning process. The goal is to identify the optimal set of resources to meet the current and future electric service needs of New Orleans at the lowest reasonable cost to customers and ENO, in a manner consistent with the long-run public interest.

The expected combination of costs, reliability, risks and uncertainty are considered.

ENO will file the 2018 IRP Report on July 19, 2019. The purpose of this public meeting will be for ENO to present its report to the public and hear public comment regarding it. The meeting will be held: Friday, August 9, 2019 from 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.

New Orleans City Council Chamber, City Hall, 1300 Perdido Street, Room 1E07, New Orleans.

The public is invited and encouraged to attend this meeting, to hear the presentation by ENO regarding the 2018 IRP Filing.

At the meeting the Council’s Utilities Regulatory Office will have a sign-up sheet for Interested Persons who wish to receive copies of all filings, issuances, and notices occurring in the proceeding. If you cannot attend the meeting but wish to be included on this list, please contact CURO at 504-658-1110 or by email to bfmason1@nola.gov.

BLAKEVIEW THIS WEEK MARKS THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY of the theatrical release of the

counterculture classic “Easy Rider,” parts of which were set in New Orleans and south Louisiana.

The movie is directed by Dennis Hopper, who co-starred with Peter Fonda (who also produced) and newcomer Jack Nicholson. Hopper, Fonda and Terry Southern wrote the film about two bikers, Wyatt (played by Fonda) and Billy (played by Hopper) making a motorcycle trip — and several drug-induced trips — across the country from Los Angeles to New Orleans to experience Mardi Gras and its freewheeling spirit.

The actors went largely unnoticed when they shot scenes here during Mardi Gras 1968 and at St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 on Basin Street. There, they filmed an infamous acid-trip scene that includes Fonda’s character conversing with a statue on the tomb of the Italian Mutual Benevolent Society.

“Easy Rider” was a critical and box office success, becoming the third-highest grossing movie of the year. Nicholson was nominated for an Academy Award for his role and the film was nominated for Best Original Screenplay.

‘Life in the Doghouse’

is a new documentary about a couple who has rescued 11,000 dogs since Hurricane Katrina.

BY K AYLEE POCHE

P H OTO P R OV I D E D B Y F I L M R I S E

A Chihuahua snuggles in a rug in a still shot from the documentary “Life in the Doghouse.”

T

HE DAY DIRECTOR RON DAVIS VISITED DANNY ROBERTSHAW AND RON DANTA TO ADOPT A DOG FROM THEIR RESCUE IN 2016, HE LEFT WITH TWO SURPRISES — a Chihuahua he later named “Little Guy” and the idea to make a documentary about the couple who was behind the rescue of more than 11,000 dogs since Hurricane Katrina and the federal levee failures.

“They talked me into a Chihuahua which was the last dog I ever wanted in my life,” Davis says with a laugh. “They assured me, because they knew the dogs, that based on what I was looking for personality-wise,

temperament with other dogs, that this was the dog. And it turned out to be the best.”

Next, it was Davis’ turn to surprise Robertshaw and Danta.

Before he left, he said, “I’m going to make a movie about you. I don’t even know anything about you. But I trust my instincts, and there’s plenty behind all this.

They said, ‘We’re boring. Who’s going to watch us feed dogs?’ ” As it turns out, a good number of people. The film, “Life in the Doghouse,” premiered in September 2018 and its debut on Netflix last month significantly expanded its reach.

In the first week following its Netflix release, Danta says

Danny & Ron’s Rescue, which is based in Camden, South Carolina, increased its Facebook following by more than 15,000 users. The couple says they receive around 300 to 400 emails a day from people around the world responding to the documentary and expressing interest in animal rescue.

The film even caught the attention of comedian and animal enthusiast Ellen DeGeneres, who tweeted out her support of the rescue to her more than 77 million followers June 20.

“We were on the ‘Today’ show and we were on ‘CBS Evening News’ and Hallmark Channel,” Danta says. “That all helped

boost the awareness of our rescue, but Netflix has really sent it over the top. We get a lot [who] want to adopt, and it has helped our donations tremendously, too.”

When Davis first told the duo he wanted to make a documentary about them, Danta says he and Robertshaw “just smiled and laughed and shut the door and thought nothing of it.” But Davis was persistent, calling them and taking them to dinner multiple times until they agreed to do it. The selling point? Davis agreed to donate his profits from the film to animal shelters across the country.

Much of the documentary takes place at Robertshaw and Danta’s dog rescue, which operates out of their home, a place they call “the doghouse” — a fitting moniker considering they currently have about 80 dogs living there.

While living with so many canines at once may sound overwhelming (even to dog people), Robertshaw and Danta say that having the dogs in a home environment rather than in a separate facility helps them rehabilitate those who may be scared and timid as a result of abuse or abandonment.

“If you leave them in a kennel and allow them to stay in the back of the kennel, they will stay that way forever,” Danta says, “so we found by a home environment, letting them live as our personal pet, is what rehabs them so much faster.

“Like our dog trainer said, never let them go under a table or under a chair and hide because once they get that in their brain, they’re going to think that’s their safety zone. We work real big on them having to move through the house and get exposure and let us touch them and stuff.”

“We don’t try to cherry-pick and get the cutest puppy that’s already housebroken and all that — we take them and then we find out what they are,” Robertshaw says. “In that process, we found that so many of them have been so damaged that they really do take a lot of time.”

With so many dogs in the house, organization and cleanliness is key to the dogs’ well-being, as well as Robertshaw and Danta’s. Both they and their staff ensure the house is

vacuumed and mopped several times a day and that all dog bedding and crates are washed daily. The cleaning process is so thorough that it’s often the first thing guests comment on upon walking into the rescue.

Robertshaw says that when the rescue’s board members came to visit their home, one member’s driver walked in and immediately said, “I don’t even smell a dog. I’m trying to smell a dog. I’ve never been in any dog place that smells like this.”

“The dogs require to be clean, too,” Robertshaw says.

“It’s necessary for everybody’s good health and happiness. If it was turning into a pigsty, we wouldn’t be happy and nothing would really work right. The whole thing would be in vain if it was a nasty mess.”

Robertshaw and Danta, both horse trainers by trade, developed a love of animals at a young age, empathizing with turtles crossing the road and worms used as bait. For years before they started their rescue, they would visit animal shelters and take one or two of the “sad ones” home, caring for the dogs until they found them new homes.

But seeing news reports from the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina motivated the two to begin rescue efforts on a larger scale. They began by sending horse trailers of supplies to hurricane victims, then eventually started loading the trailers back up with dogs who had been left behind during the storm — rescuing a total of 600 dogs.

“As you kept watching the news and saw the dogs on rooftops swimming in the water and all that stuff, that’s when we said, ‘Oh, my God, we’ve got to do something for those poor dogs,’ ” Danta says. “That was just such a national disaster that we felt they really needed — instead of just donating money — they really needed hands on (deck) to get dogs out of there to safe areas.”

Robertshaw and Danta organized similar efforts in 2016 after the Baton Rouge floods and in 2017 after Hurricane Harvey flooded major parts of Houston.

During disaster relief, they start by rescuing dogs from shelters and dogs that are unclaimed to make room for shelters to temporarily house lost pets, so their owners can find them easily.

Davis says one of the aspects of Robertshaw and Danta’s story that fascinated him the most is their community involvement outside of the rescue — or as he jokingly puts it, that they weren’t just “dog nut jobs.”

The two are part of Wellington Equestrian Club in Florida, which does a host of volunteer work, including a benefit for the Caridad Center for which Robertshaw dresses as Santa to hand out Christmas presents to migrant families while Danta helps run the kitchen.

“They’re just two of the most charitable people,” Davis said.

“They still had time for people and other animals and cats. It didn’t matter. They just seem to always do the right thing when it comes to other people and animals.”

Rescued dogs from the documentary “Life In the Doghouse.”

Filming the documentary meant long days, often for five or six days straight, starting at sunrise and not wrapping until around 8 p.m. or 9 p.m. — and sometimes those days were even longer for the crew.

According to Danta, cinematographer Clay Westervelt arrived at their house before sunrise five mornings in a row to get footage of a purple iris with dew beading on it. Westervelt also decided to film the dogs at their eye level, laying PVC pipes through the house with motorized cameras to capture the dogs behaving naturally without spooking them.

But Robertshaw and Danta say the hardest part of the documentary wasn’t the long workdays; it was opening up about their personal lives on camera, especially when that involved talking about complicated relationships with family members.

“Ron was very brilliant about this because we fought him about it. We wanted it just about the dogs,” Danta says.

“He said, ‘I want this to be a big part of your life and (to) share your life so that people know why you would do this, why you wanted to do this, where you came from.’

“It was hard because I was disowned for seven years and Danny’s father didn’t approve of what he did,” he adds. “It’s hard to go on the big screen and share that with everybody throughout the world.”

But after hundreds of hours of filming, Davis was able to get them to open up in a way they never had before, Robertshaw says.

“Gradually, I told Ron he should have been a psychiatrist and not a director,” Robertshaw says, “because, I mean, somehow or another he just pulled stuff out of us we’d never even said to each other.”

Danta says that rescue is taxing work. It often involves seeing dogs in brutal conditions, like puppy mills, and having to take dogs to be put to sleep at the end of their lives.

With 30+ par tici pating restaurants supporting POWERful wo m en in Hospitali ty.

“Emotionally, it’s very, very hard on us, but we just really try to stay focused on looking at those faces that have no chance to get out [and getting] them out,” Danta says. “What really keeps us going is that we see that family come and that dog gets its forever home, and those kids have their arms wrapped around it or the mom and pop have their arms wrapped around it. … That’s what gives us that extra boost to keep going forward.”

Although the film touches on serious topics such as euthanization and puppy mills, Davis said he wanted to ensure the tone was hopeful and inspiring — without being “preachy.”

“I wanted to be able to say.

‘Look at what just two guys have been able to do, the impact that they’ve had on these dogs. It doesn’t take much to make a big difference,’ ” Davis says. “You don’t have to be Danny and Ron and do a big dog rescue but maybe [you can] adopt your next one or … spay or neuter.

“I was just hoping that it would be a really nice story that would

hopefully inspire people to make different choices when it came to dogs and dog rescue,” he says.

Catfishing in Slidell

Two new bakeries — and a third about to open — rise up in New Orleans.

Middendorf’s Seafood Restaurant‘s famous thin-cut fried catfish. The restaurant opened a new location (1951 Oak Harbor Blvd., Slidell, 985771-7777) July 4, the 85th anniversary of the original location opening in Manchac.

“We’re proud to still be using the same recipe that Josie Middendorf introduced back in 1934,” Middendorf’s co-owner Karen Pfeifer says.

The new location will have the same ambience as the original, Pfeifer says, with a family-friendly interior made with natural woods, colorful nautical motifs and playful murals.

There’s also outdoor seating on an open-air porch overlooking a chil-

DINERS IN SLIDELL NO LONGER HAVE TO LEAVE TOWN to dine on

BY R E B EC C A F R I E D M A N NEW ORLEANIANS HAVE THREE FRESH REASONS to avoid their ovens

this summer.

For two years, baker/owner Christina Balzebre of Levee Baking Co. sold her rustic breads and pastries at farmers’ markets and as a weekly pop-up, with demand routinely outpacing capacity.

Balzebre found her new storefront in the Irish Channel, just off Magazine Street (the space that formerly housed Cloud Nine Bistro). The vibe is both cozy and contemporary — wooden tables and stacks of cookbooks against an airy backdrop of exposed brick and a concrete floor.

On opening weekend (June 29-30), trays of croissants, chocolate babka, peach hand pies, and kouign-amann lined the counter, as well as a trio of cookie options (two of them vegan).

Savories included flatbreads topped with seasonal fruits and vegetables and a poppyseed-sprinkled croissant filled with farmers cheese, housemade mustard and caramelized onions. The beverage selection highlights local producers such as HEY Coffee Co. and Insanitea Kombucha.

Levee’s signature items are its breads — the crusty country loaf and focaccia sprinkled with sea salt and rosemary — and its ever-changing selection of pastries. Offerings reflect the inventory of local farmers markets — currently a blend of peaches, blackberries and tomatoes. Soon there will be figs, which Balzebre will incorporate in hand pies, jams, atop flatbreads and nestled in pastry with goat cheese and fresh herbs.

Balzebre plans eventually to roll out a small menu of lunch items, including salads and sandwiches, and will offer cake by the slice. She also wants to host evening popups and eventually obtain a happy hour-friendly liquor license.

In Broadmoor, Omie Johnson has transformed a quiet corner into a sugary oasis: the Tiger Bakery, which she opened in early June with the help of her three children. The name refers not to a university mascot but

a children’s book about a tiger who crashes an afternoon tea and gobbles a tableful of treats.

The menu draws inspiration from many sources, including New York’s Italian-style bakeries (Johnson originally hails from the Northeast). Rainbow sprinkles adorn cookies including classic chocolate-dipped sandwich cookies with raspberry jam filling. Savory Italian options include flatbreads with a variety of toppings as well as ravazzate, Sicilian buns stuffed with either tomato and meat or mozzarella and summer vegetables.

Cinnamon rolls, crackly-shelled cream puffs, tarts and cookies (including a standout sesame dulce de leche) round out the pastry menu.

For an original take on summertime refreshment, Tiger offers the sno-flower, the love child of New Orleans sno-balls and Hawaiian shaved ice. Its visual artistry is enhanced by house-made syrups, with flavors ranging from traditional (lime, strawberry) to exotic (jasmine cream, matcha chai).

The bakery offers a full coffee and espresso menu and a selection of house-made cold beverages. A corner banquette with several small tables allows customers to linger while gobbling their treats, tiger-style.

Local chef favorite Bellegarde Bakery saw its star rise in March when its country boule graced the cover of Food & Wine magazine’s “Makers

Issue.” Later this summer, Bellegarde will open its first retail location in the Leonidas neighborhood near the intersection of South Claiborne and South Carrollton Avenues. The shop will offer a selection of Bellegarde’s house-milled flours and grits as well as loaves and a special cold drip blend from Congregation Coffee.

Many of the inside details, including table and bar tops, paneling, a hostess stand and door frames, were made by hand, co-owner Horst Pfeifer said in a release. The bar, which is 42 feet long and has a cypress top, will serve beer and wine on tap.

The Slidell Middendorf’s will offer the same menu as the Manchac restaurant. It will be open 10:30 a.m.9 p.m. Tuesday-Sunday.

“We chose Slidell for a few reasons,” says Middendorf’s Marketing Director Christie Gardiner. “It’s the greatest corridor in and out of Louisiana with I-10, I-59 and I-12. It’s far enough away from Manchac to reach new and different people. It’s also close enough to Manchac PAGE 26

The husband-wife team of Louis and Josie Middendorf originally opened Middendorf’s in Manchac on July 4, 1934, using Josie’s recipes for fried catfish and other menu items. The Pfeifers bought the restaurant in 2007.

Maximo’s in its heyday likely recall the open kitchen, deep booths and regional Italian food. Maximo’s was a hot spot through the 1990s and along with neighboring G&E Courtyard Grill, it helped make its stretch of lower Decatur Street near the French Market a destination for French Quarter dining that drew the locals.

The new restaurant La Mensa (1117 Decatur St.) has opened in Maximo’s old address with the potential to serve the same role today. It fired up its stoves in June and serves modern regional Italian food in a casual fine-dining setting, with an open kitchen and booths, a long bar for drop-in meals and snacks and a

predecessor G&O Food Co. The New Orleans native has worked in the business for years, including a tenure at her family’s restaurant the Pelican Club, a modern stalwart of French Quarter dining.

She ran a periodic pop-up based around her love of handmade pasta, which was the start for La Mensa.

The restaurant takes its name from an Italian term for canteen or cafeteria. The menu takes its cues from a different page of Italian dining than the local red sauce norm. It is more aligned with the style of Domenica or the nearby Paladar 511 than Creole Italian.

The building once was owned by the Ursuline nuns, whose historic Old Ursuline Convent abuts the property. By the 1920s, the building was home to a fruit company. That’s when its distinctive plasterwork facade with decorative cornucopias was added. It became Maximo’s in the 1980s.

La Mensa is open 5:30 p.m.-9 p.m.

Tuesday-Saturday (the bar opens at 4 p.m.) and 10:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m.

balcony overlooking one of the historic neighborhood’s busier blocks.

By setting its tone a notch higher than the prevailing touristy trends, La Mensa is contributing to a rising tide of interesting independent French Quarter restaurants.

This is a place for a plate of carpaccio or arancini, stuffed squash blossoms and octopus salad, pizza, pasta and a short list of more composed entrees, like fire-roasted scallops with grapefruit butter over risotto.

Pizzas are half price during happy hour from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

For the past few years, the space was the contemporary Creole restaurant Trinity, which closed earlier this spring. La Mensa was created by Britten Carboni, who also runs cafe Louise in the Central Business District and operated its

open its Warehouse District restaurant at 11 a.m. Tuesday, July 9.

The chain, which has been reviewed and praised by national critics and publications, now has more than two dozen locations in 14 states. The New Orleans location will be company-owned rather than a franchise, the first company-owned location in 12 years, a Gus’s spokeswoman said.

Gus’s decided to move to New Orleans after being a vendor at the National Fried Chicken Festival in 2017, where it won third place best fried chicken.

The restaurant menu has its roots in the still-secret recipe for marinated, spicy, crisp chicken created

by Napoleon “Na” Vanderbilt 60 years ago in Mason, Tennessee.

Vanderbilt and his wife Maggie sold the chicken from the back door of a bar there before eventually opening a free-standing restaurant called Maggie’s Short Orders in 1973.

In 1984, Vanderbilt’s son, Vernon “Gus” Bonner, inherited the recipe and the restaurant. He and his wife, Gertrude, reopened under the name Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken.

The restaurant is open 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and 11 a.m.10 p.m. Friday-Saturday. — ANN MALONEY/THE ADVOCATE

PREVIEW Amyl and the Sniffers

BY KAYLEE POCHE EVERYTHING ABOUT MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA-BASED PUB ROCK FOUR-PIECE ENSEMBLE Amyl and the Sniffers screams the ’70s.

Vocalist Amy Taylor, with her heavy cat-eye eyeliner and blond mullet, unapologetically bangs her head as she performs — chanting angsty lyrics like “I’m working off my ass, every single day for the minimum wage and I don’t get paid.”

The band got its start with the release of its first EP “Giddy Up” in 2016, which had a one-day turnaround from the time it was recorded to when it was released on the website Bandcamp. The group followed up with its second EP “Big Attraction” in 2017.

Its latest self-titled album, released on May 24, is instrument-heavy rather than lyric intensive, making the lyrics easy to catch onto. On many tracks, drummer Bryce Wilson, guitarist Dec Martens and bassist Gus Romer perform extended instrumental intros on short songs, many of which do not reach the three-minute mark.

“Some Mutts (Can’t be Muzzled)” rounds out the album, a track about being unapologetically yourself and cutting out any toxic relationships that may get in your way.

Trampoline Team and The Painted Hands open at 10 p.m. Saturday, July 13, at Santos, 1135 Decatur St., (504) 605-3533; www.santosbar.com. Tickets $10 in advance, $12 at the show.

‘Bayou Maharajah’

Friday, July 12 ....................... 33

BY KANDACE POWER GRAVES

Saturday, July 13 .................. 33

DIRECTOR LILY KEBER’S TELLING of the life story of piano virtuoso James Booker in her documentary “Bayou Maharajah” has won praises and prizes, including the P H OTO C O U R T E S Y 1 9 9 6 - 9 8 AC C U S O F T Paramount Award at the Asbury Park Music & I N C . , A LL R I G H T S R E S E R V E D Film Festival in 2016, the 2016 Georgia Filmmaker of the Year at the Big River Film Festival, the Grand Jury Prize at the 2013 Fairhope Film Festival and the 2013 Documentary of the Year by the Louisiana Endowment of Humanities. It also took home several awards at the 2013 New Orleans Film Festival.

“Bayou Maharajah” will be screened at 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 10, at the Orpheum Theater as part of the New Orleans Film Society’s free summer movie series.

The documentary not only details Booker’s genius for fusing jazz and blues music (he also was versed in classical and gospel music) but also his descent into drug and alcohol abuse. Booker died on Nov. 8, 1983 at Charity Hospital. He was 43.

Sometimes called “the black Liberace” for his flamboyant fashion and playing style, Booker also was called a “piano genius” by musicians including Allen Toussaint and Dr. John. The documentary includes personal and archival photos, concert footage and interviews with Dr. John, Harry Connick Jr. (who took piano lessons from Booker), actor/musician Hugh Laurie, Irma Thomas and Toussaint.

The film also looks at Booker’s personal life, his prestige among European jazz fans and the difficulties he faced as a gay black musician with a drug habit in New Orleans. David Simon, who produced “Treme,” called “Bayou Maharajah” “a careful, wonderful film.”

The screening is followed by a conversation with Keber. 7 p.m. (doors open at 6 p.m.) Wednesday, July 10, at Orpheum Theater, 129 Roosevelt Way. Free admission.

GOING OUT REVIEW ‘Art of the City: Postmodern to Post-Katrina’

BY D. ERIC BOOKHARDT “ART OF THE CITY: POSTMODERN TO POST-KATRINA” is the Historic New Orleans Collection’s (HNOC) first major exhibition of contemporary art. It’s also the inaugural show at HNOC’s newly renovated Seignouret-Brulatour building at 520 Royal St. Organized by artist-curator Jan Gilbert and HNOC CEO Priscilla Lawrence, “Art of the City” is a sprawling expo of work by more than 70 artists spread over three floors, with most of the larger works concentrated in the third floor galleries.

If the title and the scale of the show suggest a definitive survey of local contemporary art, the reality is far more literal: “Art of the City” actually is focused on the city’s urban milieu as interpreted by established artists such as Luis Cruz Azaceta, Willie Birch, Douglas Bourgeois, Krista Jurisich and Gina Phillips, as well as cutting-edge luminaries like Zarouhie Abdalian, Brandan “BMike” Odums, Rontherin Ratliff and Carl Joe Williams. Many works can appear almost lost amid the volume on view, but some are emblematic of this city’s vibrant street life.

In Willie Birch’s large sculpture “Uptown Memories (A Day in the Life of the Magnolia Project),” a young, stoop-sitting black man reads a book. Mysterious symbols cover everything in this backstreet meditation on youthful dreams arising from mundane realities.

Luis Cruz Azaceta’s colorful canvas, “The Big Easy,” is an abstract geometric impression of the streets he says make this city such a “funky, off-kilter, rich environment.”

Krista Jurisich’s “Cityscape” (pictured) blends geometric abstraction with New Orleans’ 1980s skyline, as disco-era allure dominates Douglas Bourgeois’ fantastical painting, “Burning Orchid Nightclub.”

Jeffrey Cook’s “Ancestral Guardian” found-object sculpture harks to magical African fetishes by way of the local back streets where many of his found objects originated.

That theme of magical transcendence is epitomized in Gina Phillips “Fats Got Out,” a large, stitched fabric painting in which iconic musician Fats Domino arises like a shimmering saint over the troubled waters of an ominously swollen Industrial Canal.

Bo is an 8-year-old German Shepard Bo is very big and very calm. Reserved and independent, he likes doing his own thing. Good news is that he walks nicely on the leash and may be housebroken.
