Our Secretive Governor

defined as the governor’s chief of staff, executive counsel and director of policy and employees under their supervision. House Bill 307 and Senate Bill 593 put budget-related records back in the public eye but still provide limited exceptions for records relating to “pre-decisional decision making.” Both bills also tighten exceptions that apply to other state agencies and employees. PAR notes that “some limited records exceptions for the governor may be in order,” but Jindal’s exceptions are “overly broad and should be corrected this session before citizen confidence in government is further eroded.” “Transparency for the executive branch of government is critical. It is the fabric that holds our government accountable,” Adley recently told the Baton Rouge Press Club. He added, “What is it that creates a breeding ground for corruption? Secrecy.”

a breeding ground for corruption? Secrecy.’ — Sen. Robert Adley, R-Benton We couldn’t agree more. We hope lawmakers will act soon to make Jindal a man of his word on transparency.

House District 93: No Recommendation Voters in House District 93 will choose a new state representative this Saturday, May 29. The district contains the economic nerve center of Louisiana — most of the French Quarter, all of the CBD and Warehouse District, the port, the Morial Convention Center, the Louisiana Superdome and New Orleans Arena, and the mainstays of the city’s tourism and restaurant industries. The two remaining candidates are housing advocate James Perry and former newscaster Helena Moreno. In their runoff campaigns, the candidates have brought disturbing accusations against one another, and recent revelations about each causes us to take no position in the contest. That this race has come down to two seriously flawed candidates is a shame, considering the economic importance of this district.

s a candidate, Gov. Bobby Jindal advocated open government, but his record in office shows him to be an enemy of governmental sunshine. In his first two years as governor, Jindal pushed bills that significantly expanded the list of records in the executive branch that can be kept secret. At the same time, he has used the vast powers of his position to quash legislative efforts to open his office and his records to public scrutiny. Most galling of all, he continues to boast that he supports “transparency” in government. Such claims are bogus, and it’s time for lawmakers to pull back the curtain and let the sun shine on our secretive governor. Lawmakers in a Senate committee this week will consider a bill that could reverse the disturbing trend ushered in by Jindal. The Senate and Governmental Affairs Committee will take up Senate Bill 593 by Sen. Robert Adley, R-Benton, on Wednesday, May 26. Early next month, House Bill 307 by Rep. Wayne Waddell, R-Shreveport, should come before the House and Governmental Affairs Committee. Both bills would, in the words of the nonprofit government watchdog agency Public Affairs Research Council (PAR), “create a more open and transparent governor’s office.” We urge committee members on both panels to approve the bills. Even before Jindal acted to cloak his own office and others under his purview in a shroud of secrecy, the governor’s office of Louisiana was widely considered one of the least “open” in the country. In the wake of changes rammed through by Jindal, his office was ranked “dead last” in openness by the University of Florida’s Citizen Access Project. Despite independent verification of Jindal’s antipathy toward transparency — particularly as applied to himself — he continues to spout the Orwellian line that his changes in 2008 and 2009 “have opened up more records in the Governor’s Office than have ever been opened before.” Wrong. To fully appreciate how much damage Jindal has done to open government, it’s necessary to examine in detail the records he continues to hide from the people. According to PAR, those include: • Records relating to the “deliberative process,” a vaguely defined concept that includes any record used to help the governor make a decision or set policy. • Records regarding “pre-decisional advice and recommendations to the governor” concerning the state budget, no matter which part of the executive branch holds them. Records subject to this exception become public after six months — but by then the budget has long since been adopted. • Communications with internal staff,

Hey Blake, For the past several years, the CresCent City ClassiC has had its raCe party at tad Gormley stadium. When i attended the party, i never kneW For Whom the stadium Was named. i’ve asked many Friends. Can you tell me? Stanley

Dear Stanley, “Tad” was the nickname of Frank Gormley, a Boston-born Irishman christened Francis Thomas Gormley. Although he started as a prizefighter, his abilities as a trainer soon became evident; his first student, Jack Lorden, won the Boston Marathon in 1904. Gormley came to New Orleans from Massachusetts in 1907 to manage the Young Men’s Gymnastics Club, which wanted him to develop a marathon team. He worked throughout the city as a trainer and track coach. He also trained Olympic boxers and was the assistant coach of the U.S. Olympic track team in 1932. Gormley was often known to say, “Athletes are not born; they are made. …The real power must come from inside the youngster. If a boy does not have the spirit to compete, even tremendous ability can be wasted.” Over the years Gormley served at Tulane, Loyola and Louisiana State universities as athletic trainer and track coach. Between 1921 and 1923, he served as head men’s basketball coach at LSU. He also was an official in the New Orleans Prep School Athletic League, a football and basketball referee, and superintendent of City Park Stadium. For years, beginning in 1912, the “Gormley Games” took place after Sunday Mass each week. These informal track meets in City Park saw Gormley serving as coach, athletic trainer and organizer. There is no telling how many athletes from the greater New Orleans area began their careers at those games. City Park Stadium opened on Oct. 24, 1937, and the games moved to the new stadium in 1938 when Gormley was hired as its athletic director. He kept this position for almost 30 years. When Gormley celebrated his 50th year of coaching, hundreds of his former students turned out to honor him. Tributes

such as this were paid to him: “He won without deserting standards, rules, or ideals — without cutting corners. He always won in a thoroughbred manner. Tad’s middle name was courage, and he taught his boys to fight to the best of their ability, never to get discouraged, never to give up.” Gormley was inducted into the National Athletic Trainers’ Association Hall of Fame in 1962 and the Louisiana Athletic Trainers’ Hall of Fame in 1990.

He died in 1965 at the age of 83, Tad Gormley touched the lives and almost imof many athletes mediately the call young and old. came to rename courtesy the stadium in Photo of New orleaNs City Park in his Public library honor. The park board was more than happy to do it. Tad Gormley (City Park) Stadium has been the scene of so many memorable events. Right after it opened, it was used to stage the major activities of the Eighth National Eucharistic Con- gress, an enormous gathering of Catholic clerics and laity. But there also were more earthly events that took place in the stadium. Actress Dorothy Lamour sold war bonds there in 1942. The New Orleans Opera House Association held a summer performance in 1943. The Pelicans baseball team played two seasons there in the late 1950s. Roy Rogers and Trigger led a March of Dimes parade followed by 15,000 school children into the stadium in 1959. In 1964 The Beatles sang for a crowd of 13,000 screaming fans. And in 1992, the stadium held the U. S. Olympic Track & Field Trials.

“I think the environmental impact of this disaster is likely to have been very, very modest. It is impossible to say and we will mount, as part of the aftermath, a very detailed environmental assessment, but everything we can see at the moment suggests that the overall environmental impact will be very, very modest.” — BP chief executive Tony Hayward on May 18, the day the government expanded the no-fishing zone from 7 percent to 19 percent of federal Gulf waters. Two days later, BP acknowledged that more oil was pouring into the Gulf than the company had previously admitted but said the original figure (210,000 gallons a day) had always been an “estimate.”

‘FRigHtening’ Bill

A legislative proposal pushed by the New Orleans City Council has been dubbed “frightening legislation” by the Council for A Better Louisiana (CABL), a good-government watchdog group. CABL took aim last week at Senate Bill 583 by state Sen. Karen Carter Peterson, D-New Orleans. The bill would exempt members of local governing bodies from meeting in public if they meet informally in groups of four or fewer, even if that constitutes a quorum. “In these meetings they could discuss government matters over which they have direct supervision, power or jurisdiction provided they don’t take a formal vote,” CABL wrote in its weekly report. “In other words, this bill would allow secret meetings of small groups of elected officials to discuss governmental business, receive and exchange information, deliberate, ask questions and engage in the decision-making process. page 11

Again, like fish in a barrel. “They failed to take appropriate measures to prevent damage to the Gulf Coast’s marine and coastal environments,” says plaintiff lawyer Randy Smith of New Orleans. Another New Orleans attorney participating in the plaintiffs’ group, Dawn M. Barrios, says the litigation will last a while — at least as long as the crude pollutes the Gulf Coast. “The oil spill and resulting contamination threaten the livelihoods of thousands of individuals and businesses that cannot use the Gulf of Mexico and Louisiana’s shore to work and to earn a living,” he said. These are all things that Sawyer, as well as many other players at the State Capitol, already knows. When Sawyer dropped her wisdom on the committee last week, it was part of her testimony on legislation

has committed to a three-year, $3.3 million grant to support and expand Daughters of Charity Health Center-St. Cecilia, a new clinic and health center that opened last month to serve residents of the 9th Ward and Bywater. Located at North Rampart and France streets, St. Cecilia is a 24,000-square-foot medical center with primary care, dental and pharmacy services, as well as case managers, preventive health screenings and help for people with chronic conditions.

Maryland Community Church

of Terre Haute, Ind., sent 13 volunteers last month to help gut and repair damaged houses on North Tonti Street. Members of the church have come to New Orleans numerous times since Hurricane Katrina as part of “Samaritan’s Purse,” a nondenominational Christian disaster relief group that repairs houses and constructs new ones. Samaritan’s Purse has renovated or rebuilt 13 homes in the 8th Ward, and intends to complete 15 more by September.

Rand Paul,

who won the Kentucky Republican Senate primary May 18, criticized the Obama administration’s stern words for oil giant BP three days later. On ABC’s Good Morning America, Paul said, “I think that sounds really un-American in his criticism of business,” and added, “Accidents happen.” A U.S. Senate candidate siding with a foreign corporation rather than his fellow Americans whose livelihoods have been destroyed by it? That’s not being pro-business — that’s being un-American, period.

Clark Hoyt,

public editor for The New York Times, received a petition asking the paper to stop referring to the failure of the federal levees around New Orleans as a “natural” disaster. “Like it or not, ‘Katrina’ has become shorthand for a lot: the hurricane itself, the failed levees, the neglect that followed,” Hoyt wrote in the May 14 Times. If the issues have been conflated, much of the blame is with major national media who haven’t distinguished wind and water damage from a colossal federal engineering failure.

inger Sawyer, vice president of the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry (LABI), couldn’t have said it better last week when lawmakers on the Senate Judiciary A Committee waded into the troubled legal waters surrounding the oil gusher in the Gulf of Mexico. “Right now, BP’s like fish in a barrel,” Sawyer said. Every trial lawyer along the Gulf Coast can attest to that. As of last week, there were nearly 80 related cases pending in courts stretching from Florida through Louisiana and into Texas. The U.S. District Court in New Orleans accounts for about half of that tally. Some firms are advertising their services to bring in clients; everyone from homeowners to grieving family members, from commercial fishermen to restaurateurs and others are responding. A number of high-profile attorneys from the impacted states have formed the Gulf Oil Spill Litigation Group to take a more holistic approach, grouping together shrimpers and processors with businessmen and residents in their quest for corporate accountability — and large legal fees. The defendants don’t make for a short list either. So far they include BP, which owns the oil well that exploded; Transocean Offshore, which leases the Deepwater Horizon rig to BP; Halliburton Energy Services, which was engaged in cementing operations; and Cameron International, which supplied the controversial blowout preventer valves that failed to activate. Plaintiff lawyers allege in various pleadings that the incident was the result of negligence by BP and the other corporations involved in the rig’s operations.

that would allow Louisiana’s attorney general to execute contingency-fee contracts to hire private attorneys to help the state handle its own potential claims against the rig defendants. It’s no surprise, given recent headlines, that the BP catastrophe became a topic of conversation. Senate President Joel Chaisson II, D-Destrehan, said he initially started investigating how states such as Texas and Alabama handle contract help on legal matters. He discovered that most states offer contingency fees to private attorneys, he said, and that the better programs had strict guidelines and loads of transparency. But he never envisioned Senate Bill 731 as a mechanism to help Louisiana litigate its way through a disaster like the one it now faces. “Then lo and behold, here comes BP,” Chaisson said. Currently, the state can pay private attorneys by the hour for their services. Chaisson’s bill would give them a cut of the funds recovered in a particular case — much like plaintiff attorneys do in standard car-accident cases or other personal injury claims. It’s called a contingency fee because the plaintiff attorneys don’t get paid unless their clients — in this case, the state — actually recover money damages from the defendants. Chaisson said BP has billions of dollars to work with, while Louisiana is facing a $3 billion budget shortfall over the next two years. “It’s going to be the largest litigation this country has ever seen, and we ought to have the same tool as [our neighboring states],” he said. Sen. Julie Quinn, R-Metairie, the committee chair, helped steer the bill to its initial Senate floor hearing and echoed Chaisson’s argument. “If we can’t litigate the case against BP and Texas does, Florida does and Alabama does, they get millions and we would get how much?” Which brings us back to BP in the barrel, and why Sawyer and LABI oppose the bill. Attorneys are already swarming and eager to get onboard, they say. Sawyer added that contingency-fee attorneys hired by the state would only stir up more litigation and serve as “bounty hunters.” THe envIRonMenTAL DISASTeR In the Gulf was also bubbling beneath the surface last week when the Senate Commerce Committee rejected legislation that would have dropped the hammer on Louisiana’s university law clinics.

This is a bad step in the wrong direction.” Peterson says she introduced the bill at the request of all council members. Council President Arnie Fielkow told Gambit that under the council’s three-member committee structure, no two council members could ever talk privately about pending issues without violating the state’s Open Meetings Law. He said the council wants to follow the spirit and the letter of sunshine laws and is seeking a state attorney general’s opinion as to whether two council members can informally discuss council business without violating the current law. Peterson’s bill is set for consideration on Wednesday, May 26, by the Senate and Governmental Affairs Committee, but some Capitol observers speculate it may be pulled in the face of growing opposition. — Clancy DuBos

East and West Jefferson community hospitals saw a significant spike in indigent patients right after Hurricane Katrina, and since then both institutions have continued to provide higher levels of “uncompensated care.” The higher number of uninsured and Medicaid patients has cost both hospitals millions of dollars each year because of gaps in state and federal reimbursement programs. State Sen. David Heitmeier, D-Algiers, is pushing Senate Bill 235 as a partial solution to the problem. Heitmeier, an optometrist who has taken on health care financing as his top legislative issue, has devised a plan to use existing state and local dollars to leverage higher Medicaid payments to the state while also generating higher reimbursement rates for the state’s community hospitals. “The present reimbursement plan actually encourages the state not to adequately reimburse community hospitals like [East Jefferson General Hospital and West Jefferson General Hospital],” Heitmeier says. “The plan we want to put into effect will allow the state to pay a higher rate of reimbursement to hospitals for doctors’ services at those hospitals — called physicians’ UPL, or upper payment limit. “At present, about a dozen community hospitals across the state have a combined net deficit of more than $65 million in uncompensated care every year,” Heitmeier continued. “They get back maybe 10 percent of that. Under the new plan, we can add another $8 million to that, and if national health care reform adds more people to the Medicaid rolls, the payments will increase.” The Heitmeier bill has cleared the Senate and is pending in the House Health and Welfare Committee. — DuBos

Perennial losing candidate and former state Rep. David Duke told the hosts of a white supremacist radio show last week he was considering another run for president in 2012. Duke, who has run for various offices since losing his 1991 bid for governor, said he was planning an “exploratory nationwide tour,” and intended to seek federal matching funds for his run. Duke formed a Ku Klux Klan group in Louisiana in the 1970s and went on to found his own organization, the National Association for the Advancement of White People. He ran for president on the Democratic ticket in 1988, but switched his affiliation to Republican later that year. In 1989, he won a special election for Louisiana’s House District 89, where he served fewer than two years. Since losing the governor’s race to Edwin Edwards, Duke has traveled in eastern Europe and maintains a residence and office in Mandeville. He now bills himself as “Dr. David Duke,” after receiving a degree from a Ukrainian college. Should he not run for president, Duke said on the radio show, he might consider another congressional run. “I do believe at this point we need something in America to shock our people,” he said, adding, “One of the problems you have in Louisiana is that you have a very, very large black vote.” — Kevin Allman

officials and supporters at Louisiana State University and Loyola, Southern and Tulane universities. Sen. Robert Adley, R-Benton, wanted to amend his bill to target only Tulane’s Environmental Law Clinic — the only one of its kind in the state — but the committee ignored Adley’s plea. Committee members knew the bill was doomed, so they wasted little time killing it after two hours of debate. The Louisiana Chemical Association (LCA) and the Louisiana Oil and Gas Association backed Adley’s bill, due chiefly to the law clinic’s long history of going after their members. “Their mission seems to be to attack business and business advancement and industrial advancement,” LCA President Dan Borne said. Tulane University President Scott Cowen said law clinics traditionally serve those most in need of legal assistance, which is one of the reasons the state helps pay for the process. Had the bill passed, Cowen said, the poorest citizens of Louisiana “would have been thrown under the bus” and denied access to justice. No amendment could have salvaged the bill, Cowen said, adding, “The bill isn’t even fixable.” The millions of barrels of oil spreading throughout Gulf waters are another reason law clinics are needed, Cowen said. “We are dealing with one of the most catastrophic, environmental issues we’ve ever had in the history of the United States, and yet we’re here arguing about cutting off access to people and to those who couldn’t get it without law clinics.” Who knows? The Tulane Environmental Law Clinic may contribute something of its own to the wave of lawsuits that are sure to continue cresting for some time. As for BP, the Chicago Tribune reported last week that the company has enlisted the services of the Windy City’s own Kirkland & Ellis, no stranger to oil spill litigation. The first thing on the defendant’s agenda is influencing where the related lawsuits will be heard. BP wants Houston, the paper reports, no doubt because it’s the center of the American petroleum industry, while others are lobbying for New Orleans, where juries are famously pro-plaintiff. While that first round of legal drama gets ready to unfold, the Gulf tide will continue pushing in additional crude — and, of course, more plaintiffs.

BEFORE

Anchors Away

Now, I’m not sure who’s running the assignment desk over at 26, but whoever it is has stones. Because that night, Hill was assigned to introduce a feature about a “study” that says men in New Orleans have the biggest penises in America. (Did I tell you that it’s ratings sweeps month in the television business; the time of year when local news teams roll out their best and biggest projects of the year? I should have added that — especially since the survey Channel 26 was reporting on is about four months old now. Motto: A good story never goes stale.) Anyway, Hill began the segment: “New Orleans now ranks as the most wellendowed city.” Pausing, he then asked co-anchor Holly, once again caught in the hot seat: “Should I say what that means or just ... ” “I think they understand!” Holly interjected, before Hill could let another “penis” escape from his lips. (OK, that one I kinda did on purpose.) Following reporter Molly Rosenblatt’s obligatory man-in-the-street interviews with a bunch of local douchebags who said New Orleans is ranked No. 1 in penis size because they live here, Hill wrapped up the piece by giving some state rankings (Louisiana is seventh) adding: “Dangling at the bottom — Wyoming.” Badoom! A YouTube sequel. Local news in a whole new light. And the question arises: Um, Michael: Whatthehellwereyouthinking? Simple, really. “One of our producers double-dared me to say it,” Hill told a colleague of mine here at Gambit last week. “And I don’t need to be double-dared to do anything.” Walter Cronkite, are you listening? A little skeptical — put your career on the line for a double-dare? — I cultivated my own source inside Channel 26, my own Deep Throat, if you will, and Hill’s account was not only corroborated, but Hill might have been downplaying the gravitas that spawned what has become one of New Orleans television’s instant classics. “He wasn’t just double-dared,” my source said. “He was double-dog-dared! What else was the guy supposed to do?” Indeed. That certainly explains it. I understand much better now. Well, except for the part about Louisiana ranking seventh overall. C’mon Baton Rouge, Lake Charles, Shreveport: Man up! Editor’s note: Rose also draws a check from WVUE-Fox 8 News, one of ABC-26’s competitors.

t’s hard to know where to begin to deconstruct the recent penis flap at ABC 26 News. The first challenge is to avoid inserting a double entendre into every sentence. This is harder than it sounds — as is plainly evident; I’m three sentences into this thing and I’ve already managed to come up with inadvertent flaps, insertions and hardness. I’m not doing this on purpose, I swear. You try it. You try telling the story of WGNO-TV anchorman Michael Hill’s spectacular verbal folly at Channel 26 earlier this month; try telling it without a whole bunch of squirming, handwringing and many, many euphemisms. I’m telling you, this story’s got entendres and euphemisms like Old McDonald’s got horses and cows. And maybe a more discriminating writer would simply eschew the topic altogether, would avoid stooping so low to gather such common fodder for presentation to the unwashed masses in an otherwise respectable periodical such as Gambit. But I am not that discriminating reporter. Not even close, in fact. So here we go: I presume you know the back story or, at least, some of it. Seems like everyone in America with a laptop has glimpsed at least some portion of Hill’s groundbreaking expository journalism. It began on the May 12 evening broadcast. ABC 26 reporter Catherine Shreves presented a straightforward account of a new medical procedure that allows some women to enjoy orgasms mo’ better. Simple enough. Real news. Useful information. No reason to giggle or gaffe. Let’s move on. Until ... Until Hill opined about the subject of Shreves’ report, saying: “So she’s enjoying penis a little bit more?” Pause. Hear the ticking of the clock. Shreves and co-anchor Jessica Holly — to their credit — did their best not to fall out of their chairs. They both mumbled stuff along the lines of yeah, you right Michael whatever ... what a stupid question ... please go to commercial break ... please it’s very warm in here ... thank you. Something like that. And, needless to say, by midnight, Hill, Shreves and Holly were YouTube sensations. Big time. Right up there with “David after the Dentist.” Which is weird. I mean, it’s 2010. Certainly a guy can say “penis” on television without everybody going to pieces, no? Apparently not. Then again, Hill wasn’t finished. Two nights later, Mr. Inappropriate was at it again.

Transparency's Happy Warriors tate Rep. Wayne Waddell seems an unlikely irritant to Gov. Bobby Jindal. Waddell, a Republican from Shreveport, represents a conservative corner of the state where the governor is very popular. He also shares Jindal’s GOP affiliation. Yet, from Day One Waddell has consistently — and sharply — criticized Jindal for the governor’s lack of transparency. As early as the regular session of 2008, just a few months after Jindal took office, Waddell filed a bill to open more records in the governor’s office to public view. Jindal got his allies in the Senate to kill the bill in committee. Last year, Jindal went on the offensive with a so-called “transparency” bill that actually made his office and his records even more secretive. Waddell and others fought the measure, but the gover- nor prevailed. At the same time last year, Waddell filed two transparency measures that got short shrift, thanks to Jindal and his legislative allies. A bill that would have

opened more records in the governor’s office to public view was killed in committee, and just to show how loathsome Jindal considers true transparency (as opposed to the phony kind he peddles in his speeches), a Waddell resolution asking for a mere study of the issue died on the House calendar. Waddell isn’t giving up, however. This year he filed several transparency bills, but they remain long shots. House Bill 307 seeks to undo the damage wrought by Jindal’s “transparency” act of last year. HB 499 limits the public records exception accorded to economic development negotiations, and HB 501 limits the time a governor can keep “pre-decisional documents” and gub- ernatorial schedules (which Jindal’s “transparency” act rendered secret last year) out of public view. HB 501 also requires governors to preserve all their records and turn them over to the Louisiana State Archives or a public university upon leaving office, much like a presidential library.

“Regardless of who is governor, the bottom line is the same: People do not know what government is doing to them and what government is not doing for them unless the records of public officials are open,” Waddell says. “We do not call them ‘public records’ because they are private. …

“Too often, public officials carry an expectation of privacy to public office. I think we have to learn to check it at the door.” Waddell is not alone among the GOP’s ranks in criticizing Jindal’s lack of transparency. In the Senate, fellow Repub- lican Robert Adley of Benton, also in northwest Louisiana, has sparred with Jindal over transparency issues. (See Commentary, p. 7.) And last year, Republican House Speaker Jim Tucker fell just a few votes short of amending Jindal’s so-called transparency bill on the House floor. It’s more than a little ironic that Jindal draws some of his sharpest criticism from fellow Republicans — and on an issue the governor likes to tout as part of his “reform” image. Truth is, Jindal has done more to gut transparency and openness than former Gov. Edwin Edwards or any other crook ever dreamed of doing. Too bad the GOP’s transparency warriors aren’t getting more help from their own party — or from Democrats.

Let me speak to da Gonorrhea Crusher.’” Davenport also was surprised at the April 22 New Orleans City Council meeting, where the program directors, wearing bright red T-shirts, promoted the group’s May 15 event, the second annual HIV Awareness Extravaganza. Councilmembers Arnie Fielkow and Cynthia Willard-Lewis showered the group with praise, commending them for their service. Davenport says she knew the council had her back, but she didn’t expect councilmembers to know her name. “St. John (No. 5) provides a wonderful program that is vitally important given the increase of HIV in New Orleans, especially in minority communities,” City Council President Arnie Fielkow said in an email to Gambit. Fielkow also encourages people to take advantage of testing programs to protect themselves and their families. “That’s an advantage of being faithbased in this fight,” Davenport says. “We’ve been the faith-based (organization) that provides the testing, provides the sessions, provides the events, the conversation, that distributes condoms. We’re probably on the extreme end of the fight, but we’ve

been seeing more faith-based (organizations) — whether it’s churches, mosques, synagogues, Seventh Day Adventists, Catholics — evolve in the fight we started 14 years ago.” St. John No. 5 started the Camp ACE (Alert Community Empowerment) social ministry program in 1989. Following the opening of a summer camp, the church started offering other programs, including an education department offering afterschool tutoring and GED prep. Through that education program, Davenport says, the church saw the need to address HIV. Kids were talking about it, and some church members disclosed to pastor Bruce Davenport Sr. they had tested positive for the| syndrome (he had come across some HIV-positive members of his flock while he was visiting others in the hospital). The pastor didn’t understand why HIV-positive members weren’t asking the church for help. “They feared they’d be ostracized — exiled — from church,” Tamachia says. “He decided the church itself needed to take a stand. The community as a whole was asking faith-based organizations to step up and deal with HIV.” That was 1996. Since then, the church has expanded its services to include HIV counseling, assistance with funeral and burial arrangements, outreach, free testing and STD pam-

COVER STORY phlets and community events with a focus on prevention, through what Tamachia calls “having a conversation with the people we’re serving. “Our congregation is a small one — 40-50 people on a good day,” she says. “But we serve thousands of people. It doesn’t matter who you worship, what you believe in, what you don’t believe in.” AccOrdIng TO A 2007-2008 repOrT from the Louisiana department of Health and Hospitals Office of public Health HIV/AIdS program (HAp), 28,676 people are living with HIV in Louisiana (and 8,674 live with AIdS) — of the estimated 1.1 million people living with HIV in the U.S. The state is ranked the fifth highest in the country per capita for HIV/AIdS cases, and the 11th highest for new diagnoses. The HAp report says African-Americans account for 71.7 percent of new HIV diagnoses in the state. Another report from 2008, “people Living With HIV/AIdS,” assessed the needs and services and found 30 percent of those diagnosed with HIV/AIdS in Louisiana live in Orleans parish (22 percent, the second highest percentage, live in east Baton rouge). Of those surveyed, 60 percent are male, 30 percent female and 10 percent transgender. respondents said, however, while some insurance covers HIV/AIdS medication and care, they mostly couldn’t afford that care, didn’t qualify, didn’t know where to get it, or were denied care. Fifty-eight percent of those surveyed were unemployed — most of

whom couldn’t work for health reasons or were on disability, receiving between $500 and $1,000 a month and food stamps. For those not getting help, they cited a lack of knowledge of available services and fear of others knowing their diagnosis. Most said they told others within a month of diagnosis; they said they would have done so sooner, but feared rejection and job loss, among other reasons. Others said they’ve lost friends, been kicked out of homes or fired from their jobs, or have been victims of violence or physical isolation. Free condoms and safe sex information, the survey found, are the most soughtout and used resources. St. John no. 5 and camp Ace realized this, and despite being a faith-based organization — where sex and its risks and talking about them frankly and openly may otherwise be taboo — the program knew to get out of “comfort zones” and help offer the services the surveys outline as desperately needed. “We had a reality check,” Tamachia says. “When we don’t all talk about it, silence equals death. And we all understood that, and we’ve seen it firsthand, even in our own congregation. “We had people talking to us, ‘Hey, my son has syphilis,’ or ‘Hey, my daughter is not even 12 and she’s had her first baby.’ At what point do you say ‘enough is enough’? We need to address this.” St. John no. 5 and camp Ace stress spreading the word — creating a domino effect in the community by filling in the gaps left by schools, parents and family.

“I’ve had (people) of all levels of education, economic levels, talk to me, or I talk to them, and some stuff they didn’t know. Once they know, they can teach family, friends or the community,” Tamachia says. “I have parents who are parents to other kids in the community because they don’t have parents. If I’m teaching them, they can teach the kids. And my elderly population, 60-plus, the cases are there too — when we’re talking about Viagra and the increase in sex drive, we still have to talk to them about HIV. One of the things we stress: HIV does not discriminate.” noel Twilbeck, executive director of the nO/AIdS Task Force, says St. John’s program is a much-needed effort in the communities it serves. “They’ve done some very impressive and innovative awareness campaigns targeting communities that are very difficult to reach for prevention activities and counseling,” Twilbeck says. nO/ AIdS has offered HIV testing, prevention services, outreach and other HIVrelated services for almost 30 years in new Orleans, and the organization has collaborated its outreach efforts with St. John’s program for more than five years. “With all the HIV prevention and care providers in the community, they have to work together,” Twilbeck says. “It’s not like we’re competing for a small number of clients and we have too much capacity. We’ve got more than enough clients, more than enough people that need to know their HIV status than all other agencies together

with finite resources can handle.” St. John also stresses abstinence, which Tamachia says could even mean abstaining from “whatever behavior or action that may lead to you put yourself at risk.” But she knows it’s not the end-all answer. Apart from education programs and testing, the church and Camp ACE host community events like the recent HIV Awareness Extravaganza. Hundreds showed up in Gentilly for a street fair emphasizing testing and education — but also featuring a classic car show and music by local rappers Partners-N-Crime. Police escorted a 50-car-long Ride for Life through the rain. “I felt like a million bucks,” Tamachia says.

THE PRoGRAm HAS RECEIVEd ITS share of angry phone calls for its atypical approach. “We still have a long way to go,” Tamachia says. Though the majority of the response has been welcoming, other faithbased groups don’t approve of the services, especially the free condoms and frank conversations about sex and drugs. “We get those calls from time to time from the sign, like ‘I didn’t know Jesus Christ said it was oK to pass out condoms.’ And we just laugh at it,” Tamachia says. “We’re oK. The majority of people support what we’re doing.” Including the state. The HIV program is partially funded by the state’s office of Public Health’s HAP, which, along with other statewide health care initiatives, faces budget cuts. But the program also receives aid from sponsors and donors and is able to stay afloat. “We’re a church as well,” Tamachia says, “so the community is expecting the church to do just about everything.” It’s the billboard campaign that’s been the main draw of criticism. other signs have popped up since the debut of the HIV Prevention mobsters — the billboards appear in New orleans East, Carrollton and Gentilly, where a smaller mobsters sign appears. “Not to toot my horn, but I started the idea,” Tamachia says. “And they’re still talking about it, which is a good thing. our creativity — whether you call it odd, strange or crazy — at least it has you talking about HIV and STds.” And that’s the point. Even critics or bloggers, quick to point out the absurd, are inadvertently raising their awareness of STds. “Some of the response to the mobsters is like, ‘Cool!’ and others are like, ‘What the hell were they thinking?’,” Tamachia says. “But we’re all right with that.”

Scores of hair-filled booms were assembled during a May 13 event in Alabama.

booms during the introduction of a YouTube video providing instructions on how to make them. The man in the video put a PVC pipe that’s 4 inches in diameter through a hole in a piece of wood, securing the pipe with duct tape. Wearing goggles and a mask, he attaches one leg from a pair of nylon stockings to the end of the pole, stuffs hair through the pipe and ties the end of the stocking — creating something resembling a hair-filled sausage. The group uses an online database called Excess Access that directs salons, barbershops, pet groomers and wool farmers to donation sites. The booms are being stored in rented warehouse facilities along the Gulf Coast. Suduran heard about Matter of Trust in an episode of the Bravo TV show Tabatha’s Salon Takeover and got inspired to collect hair in her own salon. “We have a salon, and we throw hair away. Instead, why don’t we keep a bin and go from there?” she says. Instead of sweeping up hair that falls on the floor during haircuts and throwing it in a trash can, Suduran’s salon started collecting it in a bin for hair booms. The salon recently became an official donation site for Matter

of Trust. Other salons also are lending a hand — or a head — to the efforts. Brenda McField, owner and hairstylist for Mariposa Salon & Spa, says her business is working in conjunction with Vanguard College of Cosmetology, a Paul Mitchell school with locations in Slidell and Baton Rouge, to collect hair and nylons to construct booms. Vanguard is collecting the donated hair and assembling the booms. The Arc of Greater New Orleans, an organization that helps children with mental retardation and related developmental disabilities, is another official donation site. SOME PEOPLE, HOWEVER, DOuBT that the hair booms are a good way to protect the coastline against oil. Elizabeth underwood, director of Aorta Projects and Worn Again NOLA, has been volunteering with the Audubon Society and with cleanup efforts in Hopedale, La. She has some trepidation toward the booms based on her experiences and conversations with those involved in the cleanup efforts. “There’s two levels of controversy,” she says “One, is how do page 25

South Louisiana fishermen have repeated a refrain to never give up — speaking both on their efforts to combat the Deepwater Horizon disaster while surviving the seafood shortfall and as a plea to diners across the country. Speculative fear about the future of Louisiana seafood already has fishermen, shrimpers and oystermen bracing for impact. Doug Rader, the Environmental Defense Fund’s chief oceans scientist, says local seafood is “at risk from perception as much as reality,” and overstating those risks affects the livelihoods of those already fearing the worst. Even large grocery chains like Rouses have to advertise that their seafood is safe. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Department of Health and Hospitals have changed their minds frequently since the disaster — oyster beds have closed and reopened, shrimp season is closed — for now — and as of last week, 19 percent of the entire Gulf of Mexico is closed to fishing. Crescent City Farmers Market has its White Boot Brigade at the ready, as it did after Hurricane Katrina. Support the seafood industry while you can and whenever you can.

efore the BP oil disaster, hair salons might have been alarmed upon receiving shipments of lopped-off ponytails. Now it’s become part of local salons’ efforts to help alleviate the oil spill’s damage. “I don’t think there’s a state in the country that hasn’t sent in hair,” says Daisye Suduran, assistant spa director at Ritz-Carlton New Orleans, adding that the hotel’s salon has even received boxes of hair — which have come in the form of clippings from salon floors or even entire ponytails — from around the world. “It touches your heart how nice people have been.” Suduran spearheaded an effort to collect hair on behalf of Matter of Trust, a San Francisco-based environmental nonprofit that connects donors and users of secondhand materials. The group has been making booms out of human hair and animal fur to soak up oil from spills since 1998, but it’s gotten a lot busier in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon explosion. BP and some conservationists, however, aren’t sold on the idea of hair booms. “Basically, you shampoo because hair collects oil,” Matter of Trust president Lisa Gautier says, explaining the rationale for using hair

According to toxicologists making a presentation to the Gulf Oil Disaster Recovery Group — lawyers working to protect the rights and interests of environmental groups and people affected by the BP oil disaster — chemical dispersants used to break up the oil could be just as harmful to wildlife and humans as the untreated oil itself. The group represents the united Fishermen’s Association and the Louisiana Environmental Action Network (LEAN), among others. Last week, the EPA demanded BP use less chemicals. Dr. William Sawyer, from Florida-based Toxicology Consultants and Assessment Specialists, says there is a lack of research oil companies can access to decide what chemicals to use when dealing with oil spills resulting from disasters. The so-labeled “deodorized kerosenes” pose a potential health risk to volunteers and workers aiding in cleanups, as well as wildlife in the slick’s path. Corexit 9500 and EC9527A, the chemicals used to break up the slick on the water’s surface, send the oil to the sea floor, where it meets bottom-feeders, instead of allowing the petroleum to make contact with land. The group also says the toxicity of the product increases when it’s dissolved in the water. The group urges BP to supply it with the data the company used to quantify short- and long-term damages when deciding to use the dispersants. It also wants BP to be held accountable for damages caused by the leaking oil. According to a LEAN report based on an Environmental Protection Agency air-quality evaluation, airborne toxins present since the oil disaster are at levels greater than 100 times those considered safe, the group says. It adds that the toxins pose a significant threat to public health and those residing downwind from the increasing oil slick.

She estimates they’ve constructed at least 2,000 booms. All they’re waiting for is an OK from BP. “Once BP gives us the go ahead,” she says, “(the booms) are there and ready.” Visit www.matteroftrust.org for more information.

In a recent press statement, BP said it was “not soliciting or accepting donations.” Matter of Trust responded on May 14 with, “At this time, we are simply providing volunteers the opportunity to make hair booms and stockpile them all along the Gulf Coast, in case BP needs them. We’re calling it Plan H (H is for Hair).” Underwood says while people eager to assist in cleanup efforts may be wellintentioned, it might be best to wait. “I think all of us in New Orleans got baptized in a particular way of responding to disaster that means you’ve got to do something hands-on or not do anything at all,” she says. “You want to do

Fish

In 2008, recreational fishers took about 24 million fishing trips. Commercial fishermen took home more than 1.27 million pounds of fin fish and shellfish, accounting for $659 million worth of seafood. The largest Gulf fishing catches are red snapper and shrimp. Brown shrimp are caught from June through October, though this season has been canceled to hopefully allow juvenile shrimp to grow for next season. Other shrimp species found in the Gulf include white shrimp, pink shrimp, royal red shrimp, seabobs and rock shrimp.

Marine MaMMals

Bryde’s whales, protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, are the only baleen-equipped (a filtering structure that separates small fish from mouthfuls of seawater) species in the Gulf, mainly inhabiting a shelf break region in the northeastern Gulf. Baleen fouling is the biggest threat to whales — oil clogs the whale’s bristle-like baleen when they skim-feed through oil slicks. Whales can starve or suffer from the toxicity of oil-on-skin contact or fume inhalation. Sperm whales are found throughout the northern Gulf near the 1,000 meter depth and are listed under both the Endangered Species Act and Marine Mammal Protection Act. Sperm whales are the largest toothed whales and hunt large-bodied prey in deep water. Nine Gulf dolphins protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act include the bottlenose, Atlantic spotted, Risso’s, rough-toothed, Fraser’s, pantropical spotted, striped, Clymene and Spinner. Other marine mammals at risk include the dwarf sperm whale, pygmy sperm whale, Cuvier beaked whale, Blainville’s beaked whale, Gervais’ beaked whale, short-finned pilot whale, killer whale, false killer whale, pygmy killer whale and melon-headed whale.

sea turtles

Five sea turtle species inhabit the Gulf, including the Kemp’s Ridley, leatherback,

loggerhead, green, hawksbill and the olive ridley. Kemp’s Ridley turtles only nest in the western Gulf. During the spring and early summer months, they migrate through Louisiana’s coastal waters to nesting beaches in Mexico and Texas. “That oil can be toxic to the eggs or hatchlings if they emerge from sand on beaches,” Small says, noting that Kemp’s Ridleys are the world’s most endangered sea turtles.

Birds

Last month, marine scientists observed the Breton National Wildlife Refuge, which at 5,000 acres is the second largest wildlife refuge in the United States. Scientists surveyed wildlife there, noting about 2,000 pairs of brown pelicans and 5,000 pairs each of royal terns, Caspian terns and other shore birds. Now that oil has compromised the land there, that habitat is severely threatened.

Oil from the BP spill creeps ever closer to the interior marsh, a nesting ground for wildlife.

Louisiana’s state bird, the brown pelican, saw a boom in its population in the years after Hurricane Katrina devastated its coastal habitat; last year, it was removed from the endangered species lists. Half the brown pelican’s population in the southeast resides almost exclusively on the Gulf coast. The sandwich tern lives only on barrier islands and coasts, and the Gulf provides habitat for three-quarters of the birds’ southeastern population. One-quarter of the southeast population of the Wilson’s plover calls the Gulf home. Other birds along the Gulf include 35 percent of all black skimmers, 41 percent of all Forster’s terns, 16 percent of all gull-billed terns, 25 percent of all laughing gulls, 42 percent of all least terns, 36 percent of all royal terns and 22 percent of all snowy plovers. Small says she is most worried about birds nesting in colonies along the shore, including brown pelicans, royal terns and other fish-eating species. “They’re at risk of being oiled when they dive for fish, or consuming it when they catch their prey,” she says.

MORE OPEN OIL

Dissatisfied with BP’s access and transparency, Gulf Restoration Network (GRN) executive director Cynthia Sarthou says the group is continuing independent monitoring by plane and boat of the oil slick’s reach. Sarthou says BP is limiting access to areas where oil has come ashore and cleanup crews can tend to wildlife. BP officials find the damaged areas and then notify the responders, instead of allowing crews to descend on the shores to assist immediately. Sarthou says BP also is restricting independent data collection for water and soil testing. The GRN demands federal agencies intervene and activate more leadership in cleanup efforts, monitoring of wildlife, providing public access to collected data, and ensuring independent organizations have access to affected areas. The GRN is a five-state network (Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida) dedicated to the preservation and conservation of the Gulf region and its inhabitants.

...AND DREDGE

Also in Plaquemines, Parish President Billy Nungesser met with BP and federal and state representatives to plan further coastal protection. He called for the immediate activation of the U.S. dredging fleet to dredge along the barrier island chains to create sand berms from Grand Isle to the Chandeleur Islands. Nungesser says the boom system in place is ineffective and by dredging, sand would be pumped and placed along the eroded patches of beach by the barrier islands. The Chandeleur Islands, part of the Breton National Wildlife Refuge and the second-oldest refuge in the National Wildlife Refuge System, once were a single island more than 50 miles long but eroded into a group of islands after storms and other disasters. Supporters of the plan believe the pumped-in sand would build back what was lost — not only protecting the area from intruding oil from the BP disaster but from future storms, as it once did. If a tropical storm or hurricane came into the Gulf, oil could be pushed further inland. Nungesser is planning for the worst-case scenario and says he has the support of Gov. Bobby Jindal and other state officials. There are concerns about the stability of the sediment used to build up the barrier islands, but Plaquemines officials say the dredge plan is consistent with state and parish sustainability plans.

As the oil slick closes in, the parish may open additional gates to reach full capacity at 12,000 cubic feet per second. There are seven diversions and one navigation lock opened to move water from the river and into wetlands: four in Plaquemines Parish, three in St. Bernard Parish and one in St. Charles Parish. The total flow of water from all seven gates is 29,550 cubic feet per second: Bayou Lamoque Diversion in Plaquemines Parish at 7,500 CFS; Davis Pond Diversion in St. Charles Parish at 10,650 CFS (capacity 10,650); Violet Siphon in St. Bernard Parish at 200 CFS (capacity 200); Caernarvon Diversion in St. Bernard Par-

ish at 8,000 CFS (capacity 8,800); Whites Ditch Siphon in Plaquemines Parish at 200 CFS (capacity 200); Naomi Siphon in Plaquemines Parish at 1,500 CFS (capacity 1,500); and West Pointe A La Hache Siphon in Plaquemines Parish, 1,500 CFS (capacity 1,500). LDWF officials say the effects of oil could last for decades and could affect hundreds of thousands of families. They say opening these gates will flush fresh water into the area, hopefully thinning the petroleum. Garret Graves with LCPR says getting oil out of the wetlands would be “nearly impossible” once it’s in.

at steve's Diner he mantra “location, location, location” means everything to Steve Gundlach, owner of Steve’s Diner (Place St. Charles, 201 St. Charles Ave., 522-8198; www.steves-diner. com). When two large neighboring firms moved from Gravier Street after Hurricane Katrina, he got serious about finding a new home for his restaurant. “I knew that I’d have a hard time surviving without those two big pieces of my customer base,” he says. “I was confident that my block was going to become an ugly dead zone, which it has.” Gundlach moved Steve’s Diner to the food court in Place St. Charles two years ago. Visitors to the diner won’t find many changes and could see the same customers who came to the old location. “I’m getting a lot of the customers that I would see less often, more often,” Gundlach says. A clientele of attorneys, architects and other professionals line up each weekday for breakfast and lunch. Gundlach calls the menu a cross between Southern and soul cooking, inspired by dinners served at his great-grandmother’s house. “[It’s] a lot of pot food [and] slow-cooking ... lots of beans, blackeyed peas, butter beans, lima beans, red beans,” he says. “[It’s] considered comfort food to me.” At Steve’s Diner, owner Steve The diner’s devotees come in for daily specials such as slow-roasted beef brisket Gundlach serves the next best smothered in brown gravy, which remains the most popular menu item despite being thing to home cooking. served just one day a week. Gundlach’s instincts come from years of experience in the restaurant business. “My first job was flipping burgers in a grill at a bar,” he says. He later was a front-of-house manager at Commander’s Palace. His experience allows him to juggle management duties at Steve’s Diner and Terrazu, his coffeeshop, also located in Place St. Charles. “It’s an interesting journey,” he says. “I just hope it continues.”

The ShakeSpeare FeSTival aT Tulane and The nola projeCT Share love’S laBor’S loST. by Ken Korman n recent years, the New Orleans Shakespeare Festival at Tulane has brought distinct local flavor to its productions. The festival’s 2008 staging of The Taming of the Shrew, for example, was set in the lower French Quarter of the late 1950s. “One of the things New Orleanians love to ask is, ‘How does this relate to me?’” says Jim Fitzmorris, festival coartistic director and New Orleans native. “Let’s face it, it’s what we do, we’re very provincial. New Yorkers are also very provincial, there just happens to be 9 million of them. So the question becomes, how do I use New Orleans to make Shakespeare more accessible? A friend of mine says that if any American city ever screamed out for Shakespeare, it’s New Orleans. There’s enough damn

balconies to last a lifetime.” For the 2010 festival season, Fitzmorris and co-artistic director Ron Gural arrived at a theme they call “collaborative desire.” Macbeth, a new play called The Everlasting Bonfire, and festival opener Love’s Labor’s Lost all carry themes relating to partnership or shared worlds of one type or another. Fitzmorris and Gural also took this idea to heart and invited several local theater companies to collaborate in the productions — a deliberate move to build stronger relationships with other theater groups. The NOLA Project, which was created in 2005 as a summer theater company for students coming to New Orleans on break from New York University (NYU) and now thrives as a permanent local fixture, is collaborating on Love’s Labor’s

Lost. “I wrote a play for the NOLA Project two years ago and I enjoyed their company — in both senses of the word,” Fitzmorris says. “I enjoyed what they brought talent-wise, and I thought they brought a great spirit into the room. It felt very young and vibrant. It felt like the future.” Tulane professor and Love’s Labor’s director Buzz Podewell, who recently published a two-volume work on Shakespeare, found the NOLA Project to be a perfect match for the material. “People often cast this play with actors who are much too old for the parts,” Bodewell says. “I think the fun of it is getting real young people to appear in this play, which is about kids being silly and irresponsible and falling in love.” Members of the NOLA Project trained at the Stella Adler Studio (affiliated with NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts), an institution known for its focus on Shakespeare. But Love’s Labor’s Lost will mark the NOLA Project’s first official foray into the Bard’s work. “We’ve done everything from original political plays to Moliere to Stephen Sondheim musicals,” says company member A.J. Allegra. “Shakespeare is the one big mountain we haven’t climbed yet.” Company founder Andrew Larimer agrees. “We’ve talked about doing this play for three years,” he says. “We’ve all been trained in Shakespeare for a while now, but we’ve never had the chance to show our stuff down here. This is our big shot.”

Escher drawing in which analog music layers with digital music that contains even more layers of analog music. In one sequence on the duo’s self-titled debut, a 100-minute double disc modeled after a Screw tape, snail-like trombone snippets from Diana Ross’ “I’m Coming Out” — cut out by Screw a la Notorious B.I.G.’s “Mo Money Mo Problems” — are drowned out by Dove’s barge-horn blows and Gorham’s lap-steel helicopter drones. “A DJ Screw CD is like a collage,” Dove says. “We’re taking that collage and adding it to

David Dove and Lucas Graham improvise music incorporating the mixtapes of DJ Screw. our own collage. We’re not really looking to appropriate a certain element; we’re just looking to get that feel. I think in exploring it we find connections. One is that there is a seriously bluesy element to Houston hip-hop that is not in New York hip-hop or California stuff. We discovered that’s there because we have that in our sound too.” This tour, which reaches up the East Coast and into Canada, is the first time the music will be performed outside Texas. “Not everyone knows who DJ Screw is,” Dove says. “Some people will probably be pretty puzzled.” After only six shows, the duo is “getting more stretched out, getting deeper,” he adds. “Since the last concert I’ve been going through more and more Screw CDs. Our source material has increased. I have like 10 hours of it now.” And the 250 issued tapes only scratch the surface. “There are 300, 400, 500 they haven’t released yet,” Dove says. “You could listen to 10 of them and the more you listen, the more you realize that you’re just kind of dipping your toe into this whole universe.”

t’s estimated that Houston’s DJ Screw recorded between 600 and 1,000 mixtapes. Over a 16-year period (19842000), that’s an average of about one per week. “To me those are like improvised music,” says David Dove, a Houston trombonist, music educator and improviser himself. “The accidents are in there. Like improvised music, the accidents are a really important part of the music. The unpredictability is there. I’m sure they’re about whatever he was feeling that day. It’s almost like folk music; it’s functional. They have the same kind of urgency and the same timeliness. It’s meant to be about that moment, because the next day he’s going to make another one.” Screw died of a drug overdose in 2000, but in those hundreds of “Screw tapes” he left a jigsaw legacy — one Dove isn’t so much piecing together as further deconstructing. Screwed Anthologies, a new improvisational project with guitarist Lucas Gorham, was born in November 2009 as part of a tribute concert of the same name commissioned by the Houston art gallery Labotanica. “Different artists doing pieces in different mediums, inspired by or based on or echoing something about the work of DJ Screw,” Dove explains. “We just got super into it.” In the early 1990s, Screw’s sloweddown, cut-up sound — eventually dubbed “chopped and screwed” hip-hop — had permeated the heavy Houston air before Dove knew what it was. “What the hell is this thick bass thump oozing out of these car stereos?” he recalls wondering. “It really sounded like Houston. The whole feel of it made sense to me. I feel like it has a similar feel to a lot of other Houston music, psychedelic music and noise music. It has the same kind of thickness to it, low and slow. It’s very humid music.” Something so powerful, and so regional, should translate across genre lines, Dove hypothesized, and the freeform Screwed Anthologies sessions are his form of a musical proof. Using pitch shifters and effects pedals, he and Gorham transmute their instruments and Screw’s samples into something that’s not quite free jazz, not quite hip-hop. It’s an aural

It’s not quite the Beatles opening for Wings, but there’s more than a few pints of poetry in the Morning 40 Federation leading the toast at a CD-release party for former frontman Ryan Scully. As if the new-brew 40s and Scully’s accompanying six-pack in the hair-of-the-dog Rough 7 (guitarist Rob Cambre, keyboardist Ratty Scurvics, bassist C.J. Floyd, drummer Michael Andrepont and singers Meschiya Lake and Erika Lewis) weren’t rock enough for one night, this blowout celebration for debut LP Give Up Your Dreams also features short sets by Rotary Downs, Scurvics’ Black Market Butchers and Luke Allen’s Happy Talk Band. “I suspect the shows will be nuts whether we play well or not,” Scully wrote at the Rough 7’s inception in 2008. That prediction has proved an understatement. Speaking to the Voodoo Experience last year, he tacked on a guarantee: “We will not bore the audience. If we do I’ll personally refund your money.” Tickets $5; don’t count on getting anything back. — Noah Bonaparte Pais

review pop revival We think of this as the age of globalism, but conflicts between the local and the global are not new. For Brantley Ellzey, who grew up in the Deep South, the clash between pop culture and oldtime religion is an ongoing interest. What the two have in common is an emphasis on iconic imagery, which Ellzey uses as the basis for his elaborate constructions. Madonna (pictured) suggests an altar, but not for any blessed virgin. No, it’s the material girl herself as she appeared in colorful magazine photos framed by an elaborate abstract grid of colorful round pencils arranged at right angles reminiscent of Mondrian’s modernist paintings. In Hell, another grid looks chaotic as bunches of askew pencils frame antique engravings of demons. Order returns in Heaven, a minimal white grid that is almost oppressive in its regimented regularity, while Adam, a human form constructed entirely from pencils, stands as fatefully stoic as the Burning Man effigy. But more than any particular theme, the intricate inventiveness of these constructions is the basis of their seductive intrigue. Paul Tarver has long experimented with elaborate geometric forms as the basis of his densely textured paintings, most notably in works featuring muted colors and forms not unlike the lettering of ancient Celtic manuscripts. This time around, the antiquated wall paintings he encountered in Rome and Pompeii sparked his imagination. In Toto is emblematic, a pastiche of serpentine curves and diagonal grids reminiscent of French Quarter ironwork. Overlaying those sinewy lines is a dense patina of drips and splatters like something left by Jackson Pollock’s ghost. It’s a dynamic seen in many of the other works as well, so we are left with a sense of the ancient and the modern engaged in a kind of conceptual embrace, a temporal tango as eternal as the ebb and flow of the tides. — D.

review Pop Revival We think of this as the age of globalism, but conflicts between the local and the global are not new. For Brantley Ellzey, who grew up in the Deep South, the clash between pop culture and oldtime religion is an ongoing interest. What the two have in common is an emphasis on iconic imagery, which Ellzey uses as the basis for his elaborate constructions. Madonna (pictured) suggests an altar, but not for any blessed virgin. No, it’s the material girl herself as she appeared in colorful magazine photos framed by an elaborate abstract grid of colorful round pencils arranged at right angles reminiscent of Mondrian’s modernist paintings. In Hell, another grid looks chaotic as bunches of askew pencils frame antique engravings of demons. Order returns in Heaven, a minimal white grid that is almost oppressive in its regimented regularity, while Adam, a human form constructed entirely from pencils, stands as fatefully stoic as the Burning Man effigy. But more than any particular theme, the intricate inventiveness of these constructions is the basis of their seductive intrigue. Paul Tarver has long experimented with elaborate geometric forms as the basis of his densely textured paintings, most notably in works featuring muted colors and forms not unlike the lettering of ancient Celtic manuscripts. This time around, the antiquated wall paintings he encountered in Rome and Pompeii sparked his imagination. In Toto is emblematic, a pastiche of serpentine curves and diagonal grids reminiscent of French Quarter ironwork. Overlaying those sinewy lines is a dense patina of drips and splatters like something left by Jackson Pollock’s ghost. It’s a dynamic seen in many of the other works as well, so we are left with a sense of the ancient and the modern engaged in a kind of conceptual embrace, a temporal tango as eternal as the ebb and flow of the tides. — D. Eric Bookhardt

review preaching to the Choir Voices of Thunder is a choir composed of nine inmates from Orleans Parish Prison. The ensemble supplied the stirring musical accompaniment to James Weldon Johnson’s God’s Trombones, recently staged and extended for extra shows at the Anthony Bean Community Theater. The piece is a collection of poetic sermons offered in tribute to, in Johnson’s words, “the old-time Negro preacher.” The choir sang hymns accompanied on keyboard by Tanya Boyd Cannon, who also added some moments of soaring harmony. On the opposite side of the stage sat Sister Caroline (Donna King), who was a bit of dramatic licence added by director Anthony Bean. She is 100 years old, and well-placed to reminisce about the power and persuasiveness of oldtime preachers. Johnson’s sermons were delivered with verve by a core group of actors including Harold X. Evans, Tony Felix, Darryl Lutcher, Alfred Aubrey, Damany Cormier, Derrick Deal and Bean. Because of the lack of narrative and conflict, the presentation seemed a bit long. But the actors threw themselves into their monologues with grace and gusto. The Voices of Thunder earned their sobriquet, and their work was deeply moving. Johnson was a major figure in the Harlem Renaissance and one of the founders of the NAACP. God’s Trombones, which was first published in 1917, gave us a chance to savor the past and the African-American spirit that drew on religion for strength amid difficult times and racial injustice. — Dalt Wonk

flavor that makes a lasting impression. The surface of grilled duck breast, for instance, glistened with pomegranate gastrique and gave an audible snap under the knife. Meaty accompaniments of alligator sausage link, a sweet potato and andouille “salad” and pot likker-dripping greens made it all seem like a one-plate feast. Another entree combined huge scallops and Gulf shrimp (the latter of such quality to make one misty over their uncertain fate due to the BP disaster) with chipotle vinaigrette as smoky as a campfire. Zapped with spicy aioli and girded by crunchy fennel, it was an exciting and unforgettable dish. I wish the salad greens were of better quality, and I wanted more character from the lightly seared surface of a large piece of tuna, though its presentation atop a fat rice cake with a wasabi-touched soy reduction was interesting. Desserts are simple and right on, like a towering, seductively soft pistachio cake and an ice cream sandwich made with cookies so large it must be shared. There always is something specially designed for vegetarians, like a recent layered presentation of dense risotto, spinach and alternating slabs of grilled mushroom and cool, creamy mozzarella. There also are a few bargain plates just for kids, though parents must bring the brood early if they hope to get out of Dick & Jenny’s before bedtime. The lounge — equipped with an intriguing wine list — remains crowded with eager diners waiting for a table, as clear a signal as any that Dick & Jenny’s is on target again.

2008 Aia Vecchia Morellino di Scansano Toscana, ITaly / $16 retail

Grapes for this wine were sourced from the southern Tuscan countryside. Made from 100 percent Morellino — a strain of Sangiovese — the wine was aged in stainless steel followed by bottle aging. In the glass, it offers aromas of black cherry, blackberry, spice and hints of licorice. In the mouth, expect cherry, plum, some minerality and a touch of earth with a velvety texture, good acidity and polished tannins on the finish. Decant an hour before serving. Drink it with antipasto, wild game, roast chicken, stews, pasta and veal dishes. buy it at: Martin Wine Cellar. — Brenda Maitland

hange may be inevitable, but it didn’t seem likely at Dick & Jenny’s, even after the restaurant’s founders and namesakes Jennifer and Richard Benz sold the place in 2006. The buyers included a pair of former employees, Leigh and Will Peters, plus their friend Whiton Paine, all then in their late 20s. The chef during that transition had been sous chef in Richard Benz’s kitchen for years before the handoff, and the founders even stayed on for a while to consult. More than anything though, the place already had the best endorsement for keeping business as usual — a reliably full dining room and a crowd willing to wait without reservations (now accepted for groups of five or more). But when change came, it was with a vengeance. Between 2006 and late 2009, three chefs cycled through the kitchen. Dishes kept to the kitchen’s familiar, brusque, multi-dimensional style, but they weren’t as tight and didn’t always gel. They remained as bold as before, but many went boldly off the rails. There were rumblings that the boozy hour-or-so wait for a table wasn’t worth it anymore. The response was to rewind a bit, and it has succeeded with chef Daniel Smith now in the kitchen. He had been a sous chef here in the past, left town for a while and was working at Juan’s Flying Burrito when the new Dick & Jenny’s cadre came calling. It feels like old times again — with the kitchen producing uniquely powerful, assertive contemporary Creole cooking. Dishes have a lot going on, but at their best, get to the point with double-barrel

Trip Peters, owners Leigh and Will Peters, chef Daniel Smith and coowner Whiton Paine are the new faces behind Dick & Jenny’s.

The namesake dish runs red with spices and is seared to form a crust.
