vietnamese restaurant The Best Beef Noodle Soup in Town

Our Endorsements oters across Louisiana will go to the polls Saturday, Oct. 2, to cast ballots in some very important local and state primaries. The only statewide office up for grabs is the lieutenant governor’s office, which became vacant when Mitch Landrieu took the oath of office in May as New Orleans’ mayor. Locally, there is a race for public service commissioner, several elections for judge in New Orleans, school board races in all parishes outside Orleans, and special elections for Jefferson Parish president and state senator in Senate District 2. Two charter changes round out the ballot in Orleans Parish, and voters statewide also must decide whether to adopt two state constitutional amendments. Gambit urges all readers to vote this Saturday. We believe judges should be appointed, not elected; we therefore make no endorsements in judicial elections. Elsewhere, we make the following recommendations:

While we were impressed with all who sought our endorsement in this race, Secretary of State Jay Dardenne stands out as the candidate most ready to step into the lieutenant governor’s job. He served 15 years in the state Senate, where he was a leading voice for reform, and for the past four years he has served as Louisiana’s secretary of state and chief elections officer. A moderate Republican, Dardenne is the only candidate in this race who has held statewide office. His record as a public official is scandal-free. As secretary of state, Dardenne led the effort to expand early voting days, sites and hours — and to reduce the number of costly special elections during the “off season.” He worked with elections officials in other states to fight election fraud while streamlining his office during difficult fiscal times. His office also oversees several state museums, and he instituted standard policies to govern them while eliminating admission fees. The primary role of Louisiana’s lieutenant governor, in addition to being a heartbeat away from the governor’s office, is to shepherd the state Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism. Dardenne has long championed Louisiana’s unique culture, both as a professional speaker and as an elected official. He recognizes the critical importance of New Orleans’ hospitality industry and cultural tourism, and he promises to maintain the lieutenant governor’s office in New Orleans, which Landrieu opened after his election in 2003.

Jefferson Parish PresiDent: John younG

Jefferson Parish voters are choosing a new parish president because former Parish President Aaron Broussard resigned in January amid a growing scandal. Now more than ever, Jefferson voters need a voice of integrity and reform at the helm of parish government. Council President John Young is the consensus choice to fill that role, and

we heartily recommend his election. Young has consistently bucked the good ol’ boy system that seems to prevail in Jefferson Parish, and he’s done so in the face of significant political opposition. He has championed transparency at every turn and spoken out loudly against the kinds of backroom deals that led to the unfolding scandals in Jefferson. Political opponents say he does not work well with others, but when others conduct public business behind closed doors or in ways that do not represent the best interests of the people, the people need someone who won’t go along with the crowd. Moving forward, Young will have to show that he can work with the council in order to achieve his goals as parish president. We trust that he knows the importance of evolving from “outsider” to “consensus builder” — without sacrificing his core principles — in order to succeed in his new post. We also trust the council will work with and not against a new parish president who likely will receive a huge voter mandate for reform.

PubLic service commissioner District 3: Lambert boissiere iii

The Louisiana Public Service Commission regulates utilities, phone companies and common carriers within the state — outside of Orleans Parish. Its five members comprise perhaps the most important regulatory body in state government. The PSC’s 3rd District hugs the Mississippi River from New Orleans to the outskirts of Baton Rouge and includes parts of Jefferson, St. Charles and St. John the Baptist parishes. Incumbent Lambert Boissiere III was first elected to the PSC in 2004 and now serves as its chairman. A former constable of First City Court, Boissiere has grown into his new job well. He guided PSC adoption of a plan to help hard-hit utility companies recover from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita without severely and immediately impacting ratepayers. Boissiere supports the search for low-cost alternative energy sources and increased transmission capacity state-

commentary

wide, which he says will help keep electric rates low. He also has supported PSC legal action against out-of-state utilities that seek to pull out of cost-sharing “system agreements” with Louisiana power companies. That action has saved Louisiana ratepayers hundreds of millions of dollars in higher rates. The PSC’s work is highly technical and critically important to local and statewide economic development efforts. Regulators must strive to balance the rights of consumers with utilities’ rights to a fair profit. This requires level-headedness and prudence — and we believe Boissiere has both. We urge his re-election.

in reforms such as this. We urge all our readers in New Orleans to vote YES on the NORD charter change.

S&WB chArter chAnge: YES

Also on the ballot in New Orleans is a proposed charter change that tweaks City Council membership on the Sewerage and Water Board. At present, both atlarge council members and one district council member serve on the S&WB. The amendment would require that only one at-large council member be appointed to the board, along with two other council members. We support this change.

StAte SenAte diStrict 2: michAel dArnell

nOrd chArter chAnge: YES

Voters across New Orleans will be asked whether to restructure the city’s longsuffering Recreation Department, which once was a national model. The proposed City Charter amendment would take dayto-day operation of NORD out of the mayor’s office and put it under a 13-member independent commission, most of whose members would still be appointed by the mayor. However, commissioners would serve fixed terms and have full authority to hire a recreation director. A separate, publicly created foundation would be charged with raising private donations to help rebuild the city’s playgrounds. We wholeheartedly support this proposition. Critics claim the change would “privatize” NORD. That is patently false. NORD and its functions would remain as public as ever — but its new structure would give it a more secure funding base. This new approach is modeled on the nation’s most successful public recreation programs. Our kids deserve the kinds of opportunities presented

Jay Dardenne stands out as the candidate most ready to step into the lieutenant governor’s job.

Amendment 1: FOR

Two state constitutional amendments also appear on Saturday’s ballot. Amendment 1 would advance the starting date for annual legislative sessions. Sessions would end sooner and be limited to the same number of days as they are currently. By starting earlier, lawmakers would not bump up against the end of the fiscal year as they approach the end of each session. We support this change.

MARCH WITH US. This Sunday, the NOAC and the New Orleans Saints continue marching through another season of athleticism, strength, tradition, and honor. Members, fans, New Orleanians, and tourists alike... let’s all march in and cheer our Superbowl Champions through an amazing game in our dome, sweet dome.

Amendment 2: FOR

Amendment 2 would keep employees in the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP) out of the Civil Service system. While we generally support civil service protection for state workers, GOHSEP is unique among state agencies for its military command-like structure. Its employees must be available 24/7, anywhere in the state, to handle life-ordeath situations. A governor needs flexibility in making personnel decisions in this office. We urge our readers to vote FOR Amendment 2.

Voters in eastern New Orleans and the Lower 9th Ward will choose a new state senator to replace Ann Duplessis, who resigned to join the administration of Mayor Mitch Landrieu. This district was hit hard by Hurricane Katrina and the floods and still struggles in many ways. We believe attorney and former Interim City Councilman Mike Darnell is best qualified to serve as the district’s new state senator. Darnell served honorably on the council when former At-Large Councilman Oliver Thomas resigned in 2007. A former city prosecutor who also has served as a temporary judge, Darnell is well-versed in public service and the law. He likewise understands the importance of coalition building to get legislation passed, and he has the skill sets to step into the Senate and be effective immediately.

DEAR DONICA, Alexander Pierre Tureaud was a tireless — and effective — civil rights attorney who represented the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund Inc. in New Orleans from the 1940s until a year before he died of cancer in 1972. A French Creole, he was born in 1899 and grew up on Kerlerec Street in the 7th Ward with 10 brothers and sisters. His father was a carpenter, and his mother a homemaker and part-time housekeeper. Tureaud was educated in public and parochial schools in New Orleans. Jim Crow laws, which allowed states to enforce “separate but equal” racial segregation statutes under the 1896 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Plessy v. Ferguson, were in effect during most of his life, and as an adult Tureaud fought to have them repealed. Vestiges of those laws remained until Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. As a teenager, Tureaud worked in railroad yards in Chicago, then moved to New York to live with his brother and work with his uncle, James Slater, who was involved in Republican politics. When Tureaud was 19, he became a junior clerk in the U.S. Justice Department library in Washington, D.C. While working at that job, he met several influential people, including Oliver Wendell Holmes, U.S. Attorney General Thomas Ralph Gregory, J. Edgar Hoover (before he became the first director of the FBI) and U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Edward Douglass White, a Louisianan. While attending Howard University Law School in the 1920s, Tureaud rented a room at the home of NAACP activist Shelby Davidson and wrote for the Washington Daily American newspaper, which was edited by his landlord’s son, a classmate of Tureaud’s at Howard. He also joined the NAACP in 1922 and, able to pass as a white man, infiltrated a meeting in which segregationists vowed not to allow blacks to buy homes in their neighborhood. He then reported on the meeting in the newspaper. Tureaud graduated from Howard University Law School in 1925 and returned to New Orleans. He obtained a law license in 1927, but went to work for the Comptroller of Customs, headed by Republican Walter Cohen, a Creole. Tureaud also became a board member of the local NAACP chapter, which at the time employed white attorneys to fight segregation and civil rights cases.

The deaths of several black leaders in New Orleans in the 1930s and the onset of the Great Depression caused the NAACP’s membership and influence to dwindle. Tureaud and other black activists fought to restructure the organization, and in 1940 Tureaud became legal counsel for the group at the recommendation of Thurgood Marshall, who in 1967 became the first African American to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. Marshall said of Tureaud: “A.P. Tureaud was a great man. The Lord put you here on earth for three things: to work for God, to work for your family, and to work for your people. And A.P. Tureaud was a master of all three. That man’s courage was unbelievable. In this age of civil rights we got where we are today by the efforts and dedication of men like A.P. Tureaud.” During his tenure as an NAACP attorney, Tureaud won cases giving black teachers in New Orleans the same pay as white teachers, desegregated New Orleans public schools and state-supported undergraduate, graduate and professional schools. He eventually became president of the NAACP’s New Orleans chapter, ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Congress in 1958, and was a mentor to Ernest N. “Dutch” Morial, who in 1978 became New Orleans’ first black mayor.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“Yesterday afternoon, the Senate voted down the Defense Authorization Bill — with its candy box of treats for radical liberals. The outrageous amendments to the bill included repealing Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell and turning every military installation into an abortion clinic.” — Tony Perkins, former Louisiana state representative and current head of the Family Research Council, in a fundraising letter Sept. 22, the day after the failure of the military authorization bill that would have ended the discharge of U.S. soldiers based on sexual orientation.

Channeling events like last October’s Green ReBuilding of New Orleans Conference, a Sierra Clubled two-day event putting green builders, urban farmers and other sustainable businesses under one roof, the Green Matters Legal Conference expanded to include more environmental topics. The program was originally slated for April with a more limited agenda, focusing solely on green law, but without enough local environmental firms, there was a limited audience.

THIS WEEK’S HEROES AND ZEROES

The New Orleans Charter Science and Math Academy

was one of six schools cited on the Sept. 20 episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show as one of the most successful charter schools in the nation. Winfrey showed footage of Sci Academy students before pulling out the big surprise: through her viewer-supported Angel Network, the eastern New Orleans school received a check for $1 million. Sci Academy was founded in 2008.

Beau Bratcher,

an alumnus of the University of New Orleans, is featured in this month’s American Theatre magazine, spotlighting his summer directing internship with the Kennedy Center’s American College Theater Festival. Bratcher graduated from UNO last spring with a Master of Fine Arts degree in theater and received a fully funded directing assistantship from the national festival.

Saints Gulf Coast Renewal,

a charity founded to raise money for victims of the oil disaster, raffled off an authentic Super Bowl ring this summer. Raffle sales reached more than $1.3 million, and the winner (Christopher Lynn of Hattiesburg, Miss.) was announced live during the Saints-49ers matchup Sept. 20. The group made its first ring-raffle donation this week: $500,000 split equally between Catholic Charities and the Greater New Orleans Foundation.

The Hayride,

a website about Louisiana politics, took its brash style too far this week in writing about Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid after Reid called Delaware Senate candidate Chris Coons “my pet.” Declared the Hayride, “Nobody in American politics gives off the wannabe child molester vibe like Reid does.” Referring to a man as a wannabe pedophile? Even in this nasty, angry election cycle, that was a new low.

ince the federal floods of 2005, New Orleans has built momentum for building cleaner and greener, better — most visibly on a national level with Brad Pitt’s Make It Right Foundation, and also through nonprofits, in schools, in community gardens, and, more recently, in government, where recycling initiatives at City Hall have sparked new conversations about restoring citywide recycling and overhauling waste management. The Washington D.C.-based U.S. Green Building Council has set up an office here; there are green neighborhoods (the ReUse and the Green Light districts); and Lisa Jackson, administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, is a former Pontchartrain Park resident and St. Mary’s Dominican alum. Signs point to New Orleans possibly becoming a nationwide leader for green building — but not quite yet. Of the more than 75,000 people in the U.S. who have completed LEED certification programs, the green standard for building, few are attorneys. In Louisiana, there are only four. “It’s time for New Orleans to move into the big leagues,” says Kathleen Lunn, a sustainability consultant with the Alchemy Group, which helped organize the inaugural Green Matters Legal Conference, a threeday event designed to get law firms, as well as businesses, nonprofits and developers, in the same room — and on the same page — not only to learn about the latest green legal strides, but also to take advantage of Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s recovery projects. “With the administration having just listed 100 projects that are [expected to cost more than] a billion dollars, this is a key time to get information to get those projects more sustainable, more hardy for

In last week’s Scuttlebutt, Gambit reported that state Sen. Butch Gautreaux was the only candidate in the lieutenant governor’s race to have signed a “pledge” sent out by the North Central Louisiana Tea Party Patriots — a pledge that included supporting the U.S. Constitution “as explained in the Federalist Papers.” Soon after, the Morgan City Democrat called his signature on the pledge a “mistake” and asked to have his name withdrawn from the group’s website. “I have, at no time, ever endorsed or shared the goals, purposes, or methods of the Tea Party,” Gautreaux said in a statement. “My name’s appearance on the NCLA Tea Party website and pledge is a mistake that, now brought to the attention of the campaign, is being rectified as quickly as possible. I will be asking that my name be removed from all NCLA Tea Party-affiliated content.” (Just in case you weren’t sure of his feelings, Gautreaux also cited his opposition to what he called the Tea Party’s “nihilist rhetoric and eccentrically regressive perspective.”) The lieutenant governor’s race has featured endorsements from several high-profile national figures.

DuelinG reforM PiCks

One of the proposed state constitutional amendments on the Oct. 2 ballot offers a rare example of disagreement among some of Louisiana’s leading reform groups. Amendment 2 would cement in the constitution the nonCivil Service status of state workers in the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, or GOHSEP. That’s the office that springs into action during and after emergencies such as major hurricanes. The office also plays a role in disbursing federal disaster grants after a storm. The Bureau of Governmental Research (BGR), a New Orleans-based reform group, opposes Amendment 2 — but the Council for A Better Louisiana (CABL) supports it. The groups agree that GOHSEP employees are not typical state workers. They are on 24-hour call and must move about the state on a moment’s notice. The groups just disagree as to how to treat those employees with regard to civil service protection. “GOHSEP employees are vital to the state’s disaster readiness, and they are entrusted with the safety and security of Louisiana’s citizens,” BGR wrote in opposing the measure. “They are entitled to the protection from political pressures afforded to classified state employees.” Meanwhile, CABL noted that it “has no strong position on this proposed amendment, but we support it with the view that GOHSEP truly is unique among state agencies, it operates more from a military command-type model, and flexibility in making personnel decisions should not be an issue in emergency situations.” — Clancy DuBos

Who wouldn’t want to win tickets to an upcoming Saints game — even if the price of entering was providing your cell phone number to a political campaign? It must have seemed a great idea in the campaign offices of Congressman Anh “Joseph” Cao, whose website (www. caoforcongress.com) offered the chance to do just that by texting the word “TIX” and/or giving up cell numbers. The problem? Nothing on the site indicated that providing a phone number was “opting in” to receiving text messages from the Cao campaign — and, unlike most sweepstakes, there were no rules or odds posted, no number of stated tickets to be given away, nor even the dates of the contest or the prize: just the vague promise of a “chance to win tickets to upcoming games.” When Gambit called the Cao campaign for clarification on Sept. 21, it turned out the tickets were for the team’s season opener — which was Sept. 9. The tickets already had been awarded (the winner: Desmon Benn of Algiers), though the campaign was still collecting phone numbers with the promise of giving away more. “We just did it for the Saints-Vikings home opener,” said Cao campaign manager David Huguenel. “We don’t have any more scheduled, but we’re hoping to do more. This just happened, and we are in the process of changing our website.” Huguenel conceded the problem with holding a contest in which the prize had already been awarded two weeks before, but said, “We were certainly not trying to deceive anybody; we’re not trying to confuse people. I’m confident we did everything within the rules of FEC (Federal Elections Commission) compliance.” Julia Queen, a public affairs specialist for the FEC in Washington, D.C., said the commission had no hard and fast rules for giveaways of this sort in exchange for cell phone numbers. “Believe it or not, the FEC rules on the Internet haven’t been updated since 2006,” Queen said. The Cao campaign website has since been changed. The tickets are now stated to be for the Saints-Steelers game on Oct. 31, and boilerplate rules have been added, noting “entry should not be viewed as campaign contribution” and that “any subsequent information provided are [sic] to be used by Joseph Cao for Congress in compliance with FEC regulations.” — Allman

Sept. 20 in an essay by Tina Brown, the former editor of Vanity Fair and The New Yorker who now publishes her own web newsmagazine, The Daily Beast. In the essay, titled “The Mayors Who Can Revive America,” Brown said, “New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu also feels like a rising national star to me,” and noted, “In his first 100 days, Landrieu worked to reorganize the dysfunction of the city government, revamping the police department, and stanching the city’s bleeding out of a $67.5 million budget shortfall. That’s a schedule more ambitious than the first six days of Genesis.” Brown also contrasted Landrieu’s performance to that of “the incompetent showboat Ray Nagin” and “the wingnuts dominating the Tea Party movement” and compared him (favorably) to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Taking a swipe at President Barack Obama, Brown concluded, “But maybe what we need is not to export White House wisdom to the frontlines. Maybe what we need is to import frontline grit into the White House.” — Allman

An unprecedented opportunity he ongoing controversy at New Orleans Public Belt Railroad presents Mayor Mitch Landrieu with an early test of leadership — and an unprecedented opportunity. The cityowned rail line, which serves the Port of New Orleans and owns the Huey P. Long Bridge, has operated so quietly that most voters didn’t even know it existed — or that the city owned it — until a few weeks ago. Recently fired Public Belt chief Jim Bridger changed all that. Bridger lost his $350,000-a-year job after media accounts of his freewheeling use of NOPB’s credit cards, including more than $108,000 on meals in three years. The NOPB mess landed in Landrieu’s lap shortly after he became mayor — as if he didn’t already have enough on his plate after Ray Nagin’s disastrous two terms. Now he has to figure out what to do with a city-owned rail loop. Give Bridger credit for this much: He turned around the Public Belt in his early years at the helm. In the last year or so, NOPB fell on hard times, mostly because it lost its biggest client. Bridger’s mistake

Another option, which has been discussed privately, is selling the line. Several sources say one railroad already has tossed out the prospective purchase price of $1 billion. A mayor can do a lot with $1 billion, including squander it. Thank God Ray Nagin is no longer mayor. Whatever the mayor and City Council decide to do with NOPB, any windfall from a sale or lease should go into an infra-

NOPB may operate below the radar, but it serves a vital economic development function.

structure trust fund rather than get spent all at once. Why an infrastructure fund? Two reasons: first, it’s a like-for-like use of public assets; second, New Orleans has massive infrastructure needs that cannot be met all at once. The prudent thing to do would be to sell bonds for citywide street, drainage, sewer and water improvements — and use the interest from the trust fund to pay off the bonds. With up to $1 billion in the bank, we’d have a better bond rating (and pay less interest) than just about any public entity in the world. And the $1 billion corpus would never have to be touched, which means we could continue to upgrade and maintain our infrastructure for a long, long time. As an aside, Landrieu also should not separately sell NOPB’s expensive, luxury coaches. They are historic treasures and should go with any sale or lease of the entire line. NOPB may operate below the radar, but it serves a vital economic development function. The port cannot function well without it. Which means Landrieu has to get this one right.

was not scaling back his expenses during that time. As mayor, Landrieu is the nominal president of the NOPB commission, although mayors typically don’t get deeply involved in railroad affairs. Landrieu doesn’t have the luxury of delegating this mess, however. He made an early assessment of the situation and moved to clean house — getting Bridger to resign and asking all members of the NOPB commission to do likewise. Most have done so. That was the easy part. The hard part starts now: What to do going forward? Landrieu wants to start with a clean slate, which is why he asked all commissioners to resign. Beyond that, he has to address the fundamental issue of whether the city ought to remain in the railroad business. He has several options. On one hand, he could ask the commission to consider leasing out the loop to an existing railroad for a percentage of the gross revenue. That would turn the asset into a revenue generator — and put its dayto-day management in the hands of people who actually know how to run a railroad.

Joseph Brock of NOLA Green Roots has his hands full. After conceiving of and breaking ground on both the Mid-City Community Garden and the Wise Words Community Garden, managing and designing their respective websites and wrangling sponsorships and volunteers, Brock adds another garden to his collective. With help from more than 200 Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) employees and the volunteer organization HandsOn New Orleans, Brock’s NOLA Green Roots helped turn two vacant 9th Ward lots into two community gardens last week on Desire Street. Brock will incorporate the gardens into his network, and HandsOn volunteers will work with Brock to help coordinate upkeep.

Participants can attend field trips visiting Louisiana’s bayous and inner city areas, co-ops, farms, community gardens and schools. Workshops and courses will focus on nutrition, federal assistance for school meals, urban agriculture, healthy food access for low-income neighborhoods and other topics addressing food safety and sustainability.

WhAt is the ReUse DistRict? As far as we can tell, we are the first of its kind in the nation. We’re essentially going off our own beliefs and our own business. It was like a natural reuse district hub. We’re just bringing (businesses and organizations that already existed) together as a united voice so we can promote the businesses, the neighborhoods and the concept of reuse. There’s an informal referral system within The ReUse District. We’re able to go through our member list, so we can show (customers) where used books are and a thrift

raditional recycling is a good first step in diminishing what goes into landfills, but the ReUse District puts an environmental spin on the adage “Waste not, want not” by giving a second life to items that often end up in the trash. The district comprises businesses and organizations in the 7th Ward, Bywater, Marigny, St. Claude and St. Roch neighborhoods that promote recycling, reusing and repurposing items. Members range from nonprofit groups to a used book and art store, a clothing thrift shop and even an art gallery with an urban farm made from reclaimed objects. The Green Project, New Orleans Habitat for Humanity ReStore, the Preservation Resource Center, Rebuilding Together New Orleans (RTNO), and St. Claude Main Street united in 2009 to establish The ReUse District to promote businesses and organizations in the five neighborhoods that have incorporated the repurposing and reusing of materials into their daily lives. Marissa Allweiss, information officer for RTNO’s Salvage Store (2801 Marais St., 947-0038; www. rtno.org), explains how The ReUse District is helping to revitalize the historic neighborhoods it serves.

Farm Walkers ew Orleans animal rights activists will take to the streets Saturday, Oct. 2, for an annual Walk for Farm Animals. More than 70 cities are participating in the nationwide event organized by Farm Sanctuary, making this year’s walk the largest in the organization’s 25-year history. Founded in 1986, Farm Sanctuary provides several sanctuaries for and houses neglected or abused farm animals. In 2005, the organization rescued hundreds of malnourished or dehydrated chickens from abandoned poultry farms following Hurricane Katrina. The organization also conducts education outreach and promotes a vegan lifestyle. The New Orleans event begins at 10 a.m. at Hey! Cafe (4332 Magazine St.). Visit www. walkforfarmanimals.org for more information, or visit www.firstgiving.com/farmsanctuary to register to walk.

NatioNal (GreeN) Guard

In recognition for constructing disaster readiness centers throughout Louisiana, the Louisiana National Guard will be honored at the Green Matters Legal Conference Thursday, Oct. 14. To address the need for National Guard response centers following Hurricane Katrina, the state planned for 15 centers to help the guard respond faster to disasters. The first center, completed in 2008 in Covington, is a 30,000-squarefoot facility that achieved LEED Silver certification and earned the Army’s SPiRiT Gold certification, a “sustainable project rating tool.” Other new centers followed in Hammond at the Northshore Regional Airport and at Jackson Barracks, Carville and Reserve. All new construction has been certified LEED Silver or SPiRiT Gold. Most facilities also include fitness centers and are available for community meetings.

Now moved to Oct. 13-15, the conference includes input from dozens of companies, from Walmart and IBM to local firm Wolfe Law Group and the Crescent City Farmers Market — what Lunn admits is a broad lineup. “New Orleans is a primary location for having the conversation about the intersection of industry, government, academia and nonprofit sectors,” she says. “That collaboration is needed for an emerging green economy.” THe FIrST TraCk OF THe CONFereNCe, focusing on legal issues, looks at “the new normal,” as one seminar calls it. Debbie Belletto of the New Orleans Convention Company Inc., one of the convention’s co-organizers, says addressing “green”

issues and taking them beyond a meaningless buzzword is one of the hurdles companies face with sustainability. “What you’ll hear is, ‘Oh, it’s a fad.’ But it’s not a fad. This is reality,” she says. “In the long run, the big picture, there are definitely cost savings connected to all of this. and that’s the bottom line, talking to a person in the street and their perception of this: ‘Green’ is efficiency.” Other legal seminars at the conference address LeeD certification, building codes, real estate development and liability — “Where Green Goes Wrong” explains, naturally, how do it right. “a green economy needs professional advisory services and professional technical services,” Lunn says. She adds these sessions are meant to help law firms build a green practice and train attorneys to write contracts, advise clients on developments and building codes, and keep New Orleans firms up to date with best practices used around the country that work. “Portland and Seattle — New Orleans

“Portland and Seattle — New Orleans can be right there. That’s what we’re looking at, and looking at very quickly, in becoming a sustainable city.” — Debbie Belletto of the New Orleans Convention Company

can be right there,” Belletto says. “That’s what we’re looking at, and looking at very quickly, in becoming a sustainable city. We have to make the processes of businesses, government and life sustainable, and that’s what’s going to make it attractive to the rest of the world, and to be a model city, to be an example to them.” Belletto also says a citywide green investment does not just make New Orleans a competitive city for sustainability; it makes it attractive to visitors and tourists. “We have clients looking to come into cities that are walkable, have public transportation, biofuel buses. We’re being touted in the tourism industry as one of the leaders in greening our city,” she says. “The consumer is really dictating this. Consumers are becoming more dedicated to the importance and efficiency of being knowledgeable about energy.” That consumer drive is spurring bigger companies to think more sustainably, which is why the conference brought in several massive, global companies — companies most would assume would not have green or sustainability on their minds. But Lunn says these companies, like Walmart and Shaw, are being forced to follow what’s now a trend by hiring green consultants and executives. Many have created a “chief sustainability officer” position, or a similar executive title, charged with making both products and the company itself more sustainable. “Sort of an internal and external sustainability,” Lunn says. “These corporations formerly viewed as not in the green sector are now driving it.” That includes more practical efficiency measures, like paperless offices and cloud computing, which IBM

t’s not easy being a comedian in New Orleans. Sparse audiences and a dearth of appropriate venues have given new depth and meaning to the whole “dying is easy, comedy is hard” line. Local stand-up comic Jodi Borrello has made a name for herself on the national scene after a decade of performing, but in the lean early years of New Orleans comedy she was part of a crew of about 15 comics who made the rounds together, performing where they could. “For years it was, ‘Isn’t that a pizza place? Yeah, but we’re doing a comedy show there,’” Borrello says. “I don’t care. Just give me an environment.” Today, that scrappy, do-it-yourself work ethic lives on in both the stand-up and sketch/improv scenes in New Orleans.

Raising the Bar pened 25 years ago by Coach Nick Revon Jr. of East Jefferson High School, Coach’s Corner (2221 Transcontinental Drive, Metairie, 888-6685) is the kind of unassuming, friendly neighborhood joint where everybody knows your name. Now owned by Revon’s son and daughter-in-law, Nick and Alida Revon, the family business has fostered a sense of community among its customers. “It’s very homey. Everybody knows everybody,” Alida says. “Everybody has become like a family.” On Sundays, as family tradition dictates, regulars gather at Coach’s Corner to watch football and chow down. “Sundays, for the Saints games, our regulars cook and we have free food,” Alida says. New customers are often surprised to learn Alida and Nick are the owners, because they constantly mingle, rather than setting themselves apart from the customers. Their welcoming presence shows their desire to create an inviting Alida Revon calls Coach’s Corner atmosphere where customers can relax, play pool or hear live music. her “home away from home.” “I bring the music, my husband brings the sports,” Alida says. “And we’re going to start doing food for Monday Night Football.” In addition to football games, sports enthusiasts can view basketball, golf and NASCAR events at Coach’s Corner. Those who wish to engage in a little competitive action of their own can join the pool teams, which meet Monday nights, or participate in the Tuesday and Thursday evening dart team competitions. Shufﬂeboard, video poker machines and video trivia round out the games. In keeping with Alida’s love for music, the bar hosts a DJ on Friday nights and live music featuring local bands on Saturdays. There is never a cover charge. Alida encourages new people to give Coach’s Corner a try. “All of our bartenders are friendly, our customers are friendly,” she says. “It becomes your new home away from home.”

Haus Party

PHOTO BY IAN MCNULTY

B Y I A N M C N U LT Y ktoberfest at Deutsches Haus has become more than a celebration of German culture and tradition. For many, the food, the oompah band sounds, even the goofy ritual of the “chicken dance” that accompany this monthlong party have become rites of autumn in New Orleans. But change is afoot. A nonprofit German heritage club, Deutsches Haus has been part of the city’s cultural fabric since 1928. Its historic clubhouse was severely damaged by the floods after the levee failures, and club members managed to rebuild it in time to celebrate Oktoberfest in 2006. Unfortunately, the stout brick building sits squarely within the footprint planned for the new LSU/VA medical center, and that means it’s slated for demolition. “This will be the last Oktoberfest at this address,” says club president Keith Oldendorf. “We thought last year would be, but now we have a firm move-out date in the first week of November, so this is it.” Club leaders expect record crowds as Oktoberfest continues each Friday and Saturday through Oct. 23, and they’ve taken steps to make room for them. One wall of the beer garden has been demolished already, enabling the party to spill out to the lanes of South Galvez Street, which is closed to traffic during Oktoberfest for the first time this year. As always, food will be front and center at the

family-oriented celebration, starting with about two tons of Bavarian-style sausage the club stockpiled for this year’s festival. Deutsches Haus members also cook massive loads of such German delicacies as wienerschnitzel, sauerbraten and rouladen, the thin-pounded beef rolled around pickles and onions. All this is washed down by dozens of different German beers served from taps at makeshift bars arrayed around the grounds. This year Deutsches Haus will hold one keg in special reserve, and club members plan to tap it just before midnight on Oct. 23 to mark the last day of the very last Oktoberfest at their original home. Oldendorf says the club has leased an American Legion hall in Metairie to keep its members together through the coming year, and he says the club plans to hold Oktoberfest 2011 at a different off-site venue, still to be determined. The club will try to build a new, permanent Deutsches Haus again in the city itself, he says. Club members plan to haul away as much material as possible from the historic clubhouse before it meets the wrecking ball and work these pieces of the past into their new location. But for the next few weeks at least, the focus on South Galvez Street will be food, drink, music and, of course, that happy spectacle of people of all ages dancing like chickens.

Thirty-eight years ago, the pubescent Doobie Brothers (pictured) released second album Toulouse Street (“Listen to the Music,” “Jesus Is Just Alright”). This weekend, the graybeard Brothers present 13th album World Gone Crazy as part of the Gretna Heritage Festival’s grab bag of locals, visitors, guilty pleasures and legends (Los Lobos, REO Speedwagon, Irma Thomas, R. Scully). Daily admission $15, $40 weekend pass.

I from traditional Jazz think that’s kind to experimental of beautiful and somewhat lacking sounds. in New Orleans, PHOTO COURTESY OF intentional com- AURORA NEALAND position.” Accidental composition is particularly abundant this week thanks to Ige*Timer’s alien explorations. The Zeitgeist show is second in a three-part residency: first, upstairs at the Blue Nile (10 p.m. Tue., Sept. 28) with trombonist Rick Trolsen and guitarist Chris Alford; last, at AllWays Lounge (10 p.m. Thu., Sept. 30) with pianist David Torkanowsky and reeds expert Rex Gregory. (Berz is staying in town to launch “10X10=>11,” a 10-night October engagement, also at Zeitgeist, staged with gear fashioned out of foraged refuse.) Each concert features a set by the opening duo and a closing, all-hands-ondeck improvisational quartet, the same format as in 2009. Nealand, who was teamed with cellist Helen Gillet, says the process was particularly inspiring. “We played first and then they played, and I was like, ‘I’m so excited to play with them,’” she says. “I feel like they felt kind of similar. It was a really nice energy, different than a lot of improvised gigs that I’ve played. These guys are just like, ‘We’re here together. We like sound. Sound is fun. Let’s make sound.’”

ndy Durta’s semiregular Scatterjazz bookings are passports to disorientation, black holes in the sonic universe starring everything from magnetic impromptu jazz guitars (Manhattan’s Terrence McManus) to electronically hatched aural insects (Hungary’s Rovar17). Pairing area talents with international transients, they also serve as public blind dates at which anything can and often does happen. New Orleans saxgrinder Aurora Nealand is herself a Scatterjazz semiregular, playing with McManus in January 2010 and Jekyll-and-Hyde Berlin duo ige*timer in fall 2009 at the Fair Grounds Coffeehouse and Hi-Ho Lounge, respectively. This week, Nealand, along with time-signature surgeon Simon Lott, is participating in a rare improv reprisal. ige*timer, a classically trained, off-therails band consisting of Klaus Janek on looped upright bass and laptop processing and Simon Berz on MacGyvered electronics and live percussion, is back to release Ice Cold Pop (Everest), a series of bleak, bleating sine-wave soundscapes partially recorded during its gigs here last year. And again, Nealand is on the bill. “They’re really fun, humorous musicians,” she says. “Very sophisticated, but also humorous. I think sometimes that music can get a little too serious or academic. … It was very theatrical. [Berz] wore this lab coat, and he had these wires that were amplified. He would touch parts of his body that had certain metals attached, and the signals would go through the pickups, basically, and that would make the sound.” The avant-garde gigs are the flip side of a split musical personality for Nealand, whose regular appointments include the busking ensemble Panorama Jazz Band, Eastern Bloc party Why Are We Building Such a Big Ship?, and newborn group Aurora Nealand and the Royal Roses. Relocating here from France in 2004, the California native swapped her flute and piano — tools of the trade as a composi-

New Tats

It speaks either to incontrovertible consistency or unswerving autopilot that Ratatat, on fourth LP LP4 (XL), sounds almost exactly as it did on 2008’s LP3, 2006’s “LP2” (aka Classics) and 2004’s “LP1.” Both arguments have equal merit, so it really comes down to this: Does what Evan Mast and Mike Stroud do well — the only thing they’ve ever done, emit high-wattage electronic dance rock out of a low-voltage, guitars/keys/laptops setup — move you? There’s an air of daring safety to the New York duo’s June album, much of which was recorded alongside LP3 and very much sounds like it, following that record’s synths-as-lyrics directive while adding an ephemeral string section, processed vocal effects as secondary rhythm, snippets of dialogue from Werner Herzog and Terrence Malick ﬁlms for atmosphere, and even more live percussive elements. That last addition, particularly on standout tracks “Bob Gandhi” and “Party With Children,” proves most characteristic; the former’s tribal drum circles and didgeridoo-like bass hum and the latter’s trashcan-tapped harpsichord bridge breathe analog life into an often sterile work environment. Elsewhere, it’s more of the same: low-ﬂying synthesizers and guitars dropping a blitzkrieg of trilled atomic hooks over slowly decaying aftershocks. Which, for fans of the band, should be more than enough. Dom and Bobby Birdman open. Tickets $20, $10 students. — Noah Bonaparte Pais

The nine-day Mississippi River 9th Ward Film and Arts Festival kicks off with a block party including a screening of Spike Lee’s (pictured) Bamboozled at 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 2., at the Community Book Center (2523 Bayou Road). The event also features live music, food and guest historian Gwendolyn Midlo Hall, author of Africans in Colonial Louisiana. Bamboozled follows writer Pierre Delacroix’s (Damon Wayans) attempt to write a script for a modern-day minstrel show that’s so racist and offensive it’ll get him fired, the only way out of his network contract. But the show becomes a hit and he embraces success. The cast includes Jada Pinkett Smith, Mos Def, Savion Glover and the Roots. The festival also screens Lee’s early film She’s Gotta Have It and his most recent HBO documentary project about post-Katrina New Orleans, If God Is Willing and Da Creek Don’t Rise. Other films include Haiti Cherie, El Benny and Baff Akoto’s Football Fables, a film about Ghanian soccer stars rising from poverty to multi-million euro contracts and the middlemen who recruit and sign them.

review New Threads

You might call this a high-concept show celebrating the swampy lowlands of South Louisiana. “The Call of the Alluvial Empire” was the title of a pamphlet put out in 1919 to attract laborers to the region. In fact, waves of immigrants already had arrived only to deal with the inundating waves of hurricanes as well as the meandering Mississippi and other rivers, which until relatively recently had a habit of suddenly changing course. Gina Phillips’ obsessively stitched fabric paintings make up an impressionistic slice of life in a region where the tides never rest. Salvage Operation (pictured) depicts a cutaway view of the Mississippi with docks and bridges above as a deepsea diver below pokes through a watery graveyard of junk and sunken ships, long-lost houses and even the remains of formerly buried British casualties from the War of 1812 who were swept under when the river changed course. Other scenes are more bucolic, but all comprise a series of narrative paintings cobbled from colored thread in a spate of skillfully flamboyant embroidery. This year’s No Dead Artists expo features 20 artists from all over the country, although New York, Chicago and New Orleans are especially well-represented. Much of this year’s show suggests a resurgence of figuration and deeply psychological narratives, as we see in works like Meghan Boody’s haunting photograph of a young girl wandering across a Victorian English landscape, blithely oblivious to a large and furiously burning manor house in the background, or Rieko Fujinami’s remarkable pigment on acetate portraits of ordinary people seemingly locked in a battle with entropy as dramatic as any Ivan Albright painting. There also are instances of industrial surrealism and other finely wrought ruminations, all suggesting a tendency toward introspection and improvisation necessitated, perhaps, by a new world order we are only just beginning to comprehend. — D. Eric Bookhardt

At various points in United States history, immigrants from different nations (from Ireland to China) have suffered widespread stigma and discrimination. Recently, Latinos have been under ﬁre, particularly with the passing of anti-immigrant legislation in Arizona. The ugly treatment of undocumented workers also was noticeable locally, where rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina included a considerable contribution by Latino laborers. One of the more poignant and moving vignettes in performance artist Jose Torres-Tama’s Aliens, Extraterrestrials & Other Evildoers is based on the true story of a 19-year-old man who was injured on a demolition job and almost lost his arm because medical staff at the hospital was inclined to amputate instead of performing successive surgeries to repair his arm and hand. The solo show includes monologues about how undocumented immigrants cope in the shadows in a nation that wants cheap labor but won’t grant such workers legal status. But discrimination also affects citizens of Hispanic descent and documented immigrants. Other scenes are more jovial and sometimes corny. A slam poetry-style screed surfs through random associations about green being the color of aliens, green cards, money and BP. It’s amusing even if it’s too loose. A reworked version of “St. James Inﬁrmary” still needs work. Tama performs in both English and Spanish, which at times highlights some of the underlying issues of cultural difference and globalization. It also makes the piece longer than it needs to be, and at times extensive translations slow down the show. There are many visually stark images, entertaining rants and heartbreaking personal accounts. The collage of approaches and tones makes it seem like a one-man variety show. But as with a recent photography show Tama curated at Barrister’s Gallery, the main focus deserves attention, and this is an entertaining production. — Will Coviello

Thanks to a regular schedule of walking and exercise, Rose has improved her race time each year since she started five years ago. That alone is a commendable demonstration of excellence through experience. It is her escalating success at fundraising, however, where Rose is breaking records. As she approaches her 80th birthday, Rose eagerly embraces activities that most of us would dread – like walking from house to house, knocking on doors and asking strangers for money.

– Rose Rolfsen –

The value of life experience is abundantly evident in Rose Rolfsen’s success at raising funds. Years of real estate sales experience (and 20 grandchildren!) have honed her people skills and remarkable ability to make people smile. As Rose conducts her door-to-door soliciting for donations, she approaches each house with enthusiasm and confidence. Some give a lot, some just a little, and life experience has given Rose the compassionate understanding that some can’t give anything at all. For those people she’ll offer a hug, some words of encouragement… and a self-addressed, stamped envelope so they can mail Rose their contribution when circumstances change. Rose Rolfsen… Peoples Health Champion.

While certainly ambitious, Rose has absolute confidence. “If I have to knock on every door in Baton Rouge to do it,” says Rose, “I will.”

review Split Ends

Adapting a fun film like John Waters’ 1988 sleeper hit Hairspray into a musical would seem like an obvious formula for success. The original Broadway production won eight Tony awards and ran for seven years. The production at Le Petit Theatre, directed by Ricky Graham, captures the irrepressibly upbeat spirit of its main character, Tracy Turnblad, and a very large cast delivers a lively show. The plump Baltimore teen loves dancing and primping her hair into a big ’do, and nothing about her lack of popularity at school or frequent visits to detention keeps her from dreaming about appearing on The Corny Collins Show and landing its teen heartthrob Link Larkin. Even for a musical, however, it’s so upbeat that the issue of integration often seems like a trifling detail, underplaying a prime source of drama. There are many big, joyous dance numbers (“You Can’t Stop the Beat”). As Tracy, Dianna Duffy is charismatic, and A.J. Allegra shines as the perma-smiled Corny Collins. Lloyd Meekins is funny as the swivel-hipped Seaweed. The issue of early 1960s integration, however, takes a backseat to the nepotism of Corny Collins Show producer Velma Von Tussle trying to make sure her daughter Amber wins the show’s talent contest. Collins’ show has one day a month in which black teens are allowed to dance on TV, but even he finds segregation to be an arcane bore. Kesha McKey (Motormouth Maybelle), however, brings down the house with the best song in the show, “I Know Where I’ve Been,” which is about enduring and prevailing over discrimination. Transgression is what drives the pleasures, especially the guilty ones, in Waters’ films. Here, Graham indulges that by casting Sean Patterson as Tracy’s mother Edna Turnblad. Patterson practically steals the show, whether he’s walking around in a housedress, quipping in a thick accent or modeling plus-size clothes. The offbeat humor is a good counterpoint to the dance numbers. — Will Coviello

ing commissary and a neighborhood lunch joint. The regular menu has the standard po-boy offerings and a few salads, but it’s the half-dozen daily specials that make this place worth the drive across town. Brocato doesn’t do much reinterpretation here, and he doesn’t need to. The bedrock flavors are exciting enough, and his attention to detail does them justice. The blackened redfish is crusted and crisp with dark, flavorful seasoning, shiny black but not scorched, leaving the flesh beneath still sweet. I’ve paid twice as much for redfish not half this good, and at $13, this one comes with perfectly textured shrimp etouffee. His andouille Creole is like the more familiar shrimp version, only it’s also loaded with thick coins of smoked sausage and plated with stuffed shrimp the size of plums. The daily menu usually has a familiar Italian dish or two, like veal Parmesan or fettuccine Alfredo. These are fine, but they don’t have the down-home dazzle of the other spicy, buttery dishes. Much better, for instance, was a soft-shell crab that looked like it had been doing curls at the gym, and its pumped-up claws cradled crawfish pasta bursting with garlic. Even if Middendorf’s sets your standard for fried catfish, Eat Dat could be a new contender for top billing. The fish is cut thin, though not quite paperthin, and its cornmeal coating is speckled with black pepper. Pile six pieces next to a perfectly textured crawfish etouffee and you have one of the best restaurant meals anyone should expect for $12, no matter where it turns up.

A local edition of the popular Houston restaurant Feast (200 Julia St., 304-6318; www.feastneworleans.com) opened in the Warehouse District. As at their original restaurant, English-born co-chefs Richard Knight and James Silk focus on nose-to-tail rustic European cooking traditions. The menu changes daily, though recent dishes have included braised lamb’s tongue, roasted snapper head and rabbit offal on toast. Bouillabaisse, roasted grouper and vegetable pot pie have also been featured.

2004 Bert Simon Serrig Wurzberg Riesling Spatlese

MOSEL-SAAR-RUWER, GERMANY/ $15-$20 RETAIL Riesling wines are at their best when produced from vineyards on the grape’s native German soil. This bottling is an off-dry, full-bodied wine exuding complex, concentrated aromas of tropical fruit with honey, floral notes and a luscious minerality. In the mouth, clean peach, apricot and stone fruit flavors mingle with sweet citrus notes balanced by a racy acidity. The wine will cellar for an indefinite period, changing character, color and aroma as it ages. Drink it with spicy sausages, seafood, soft cheeses, duck or pork with fruit sauces, Thai and Cajun cuisine. Buy it at: Rouses on Tchoupitoulas Street and W.I.N.O. Drink it at: La Petite Grocery, Herbsaint, Delmonico, W.I.N.O., Emeril’s and NOLA. — Brenda Maitland

ravel around South Louisiana and you quickly learn that rewarding Cajun cooking can be found in the most dowdy settings. Yet even with that lesson in mind, it takes a leap of faith to arrive at Brocato’s Eat Dat for the first time and sense you’re about to experience greatness. The restaurant opened quietly last summer in a forlorn strip mall in eastern New Orleans. It’s set amid block after block of ranch-style homes and apartment complexes, and while the place isn’t difficult to find, it’s just not a location that reels in people. The windowless interior of fresh drywall, drop ceilings and commercial carpeting doesn’t add much romance either. But scan the menu and it’s like you’ve slipped into some hungry Cajun’s dream: smothered rabbit with rice and gravy, roasted pork with eggplant dirty rice and smothered greens, and crawfish boudin made in-house, all spicy, plump and silken. This is Cajun comfort food incarnate. Just finding such food in Creole New Orleans is hard enough, but finding it done with such care and at such modest prices makes Brocato’s Eat Dat extraordinary. Chef/owner Troy Brocato says he’s not related to the New Orleans ice cream family of the same name, but the Opelousas native is kin to chef Paul Prudhomme. He worked at his great-uncle’s restaurant K-Paul’s Louisiana Kitchen for 13 years before opening his own lunch spot near the CBD in the unfortunate month of August 2005. He didn’t reopen after Hurricane Katrina, but instead started catering lunch for Lake Castle Private School in eastern New Orleans. Now, Brocato’s Eat Dat doubles as his cater-
