seven things to do in seven days

Futurebirds | The reverb-heavy,

psychedelic-tinged, country rockers are twangier than fellow Athens, Ga., rockers Drive-by Truckers, and on the road more often — touring frequently since their first release, 2010’s Hampton’s Lullaby. The band released its second album Baba Yaga in April. At One Eyed Jacks. PAGE 36.

Souls of Mischief Wed. July 31 | Souls of Mischief didn’t make much noise when it dropped Montezuma’s Revenge (Clear) — the Oakland, Calif., crew’s first LP in a decade — in 2009. Nothing new for the Hieroglyphics offshoot, whose platinum-anniversary 93 ’til Infinity remains an entombed relic of yesteryear hip-hop. At the Hi-Ho Lounge. PAGE 36.

Ghastly City Sleep Sat. Aug. 3 | The Virginia- and New York-based supergroup Ghastly City Sleep features members of ’90s punk outfits pg. 99 and City of Caterpillar. The band’s dark, atmospheric pop and moody gothic textures glimpse American Radiohead ambitions. Pretty Bleak opens at Fair Grinds Coffeehouse. PAGE 36.

48 Hour Film Project Thu.-Fri. & Sun. Aug. 1-2 & 4 | Teams of local filmmakers raced to write, shoot and edit complete films (under seven minutes in length) July 26-28. Completed films screen in three showcases and the top films go on to the international Filmapalooza competition. At World War II Museum’s Solomon Victory Theater. PAGE 40.

White Linen Night Sat. Aug. 3 | The annual summer arts district party features gallery openings, food and drink booths and music by Ernie Vincent and the Top Notes, Erica Falls and Hot Club of New Orleans. DJ Matty entertains at the afterparty at the Contemporary Arts Center. PAGE 51.

Kiss Me Kate Thu.-Sun. Aug. 1-4 | Summer Lyric Theatre at Tulane University concludes its season with the Cole Porter musical about on and offstage drama during a musical production of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew. At Dixon Hall. PAGE 49.

Speedy Ortiz Sun. Aug. 4 | If you think Speedy Ortiz’s jagged debut Major Arcana (Carpark) sounds like a female Pavement (Stephen Malkmus and the Chicks?), singer Sadie Dupuis has beaten you to the punch line: The rapier-tongued Northampton, Mass., poet used to front a cover band called Babement. Opposable Thumbs opens at Circle Bar. PAGE 36.

The restaurant donated more than $20,000, including daily donations made throughout the week. In 2012, the restaurant donated more than $100,000 to the St. Bernard Project for the founder’s birthday.

St. Roch neighborhood. The lot sits between two houses she owns, and the space forms a grassy “T,” perfect for the animals. “I haven’t had any complaints, but I’m fairly isolated,” Cox says. One of her neighbors, who asked not to be identified, says the rooster doesn’t bother her; she’s more concerned with feral cats in the neighborhood. Cox says she enjoys keeping the animals, but didn’t plan on having a rooster. “I bought some silkie bantam hens, and one of them turned out to be a boy,” she says. While roosters are necessary to breed chickens, they aren’t required for egg production. To that end, Cox says she’s fine giving up the roosters. “If someone complains, I’ll get rid of them,” Cox says. “It’s only fair.” The issue wouldn’t be worth a fight with her neighbors, she says. Many rooster owners seem to be unaware of the new city ordinance, according to Ana Zorrilla, executive director of the LA/SPCA, which handles animal control for the city. When interviewed in July, Zorrilla said the LA/SPCA had received eight complaint calls about PAGE 9

After the urban poultry trend took off, the New Orleans City Council outlawed rooster-keeping in New Orleans four months ago. But no one told the birds

hen the New Orleans City Council amended a city ordinance earlier this year making it illegal to keep roosters as pets, Rob Schafer probably thought he’d be able to rest easy knowing his noisy neighbor was on the way out of the coop. But Schafer said he still wakes up each morning to the crows of the urban outlaw next door. Some mornings it’s 5 or 6 a.m., and others it’s every hour and seemingly relentless. “I have nothing against urban farming,” Schafer says. “The rooster is just so persistent.” Schafer lives on the 1200 block of Carondelet Street and says his neighbor has kept hens in a backyard coop for many years. He says he remembers first hearing the rooster about a year ago. The amended ordinance, which went into effect March 22, now classifies roosters as “wild and exotic animals,” joining the ranks of alligators, monkeys and a long list of other animals that cannot be kept as pets in the city. And a section of the ordinance titled “Wild or exotic animals as pets prohibited” (section 18-7) stipulates that “No person shall keep or permit to be kept any wild, or exotic animal as a pet.” Councilwoman Susan Guidry authored and introduced the original ordinance in October 2012. Once the ordinance was introduced, she said, the Louisiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (LA/SPCA) worked with several stakeholders to come up with a list of recommended changes. “One of these suggestions was to ban roosters because of the frequent noise problems they create and because they are not needed for any egg-laying purposes in urban, backyard farms.” Guidry says. “ I can attest that my office routinely fields noise complaint calls regarding roosters.” Because there were so many changes to the original ordinance, Guidry said she felt it best to withdraw it and then introduced a new ordinance in December 2012, which included the rooster ban. And that was approved in March. “Here it is about a year later and the rooster is still there and making noise,” says Schafer, noting his bedroom looks out on the backyard that borders the area with the chicken coop. Schafer says he hasn’t called authorities to complain.

roosters since the ordinance passed. “We would want to clarify if it was indeed a rooster problem not a hen problem,” she says. Although most people who get the unwanted 5 a.m. wake-up calls can probably tell the difference, Zorrilla says one complaint call did turn out to be a hen. Hens are legal in Orleans Parish, Zorrilla says, but roosters are not. If animal control officers find a rooster, the owner has 15 days to relocate the animal out of the parish. If the rooster isn’t relocated, the LA/SPCA will impound the animal and euthanize it. Of the eight complaints the LA/SPCA received, five were roosters that were relocated, Zorrilla says. Currently there are two active roosters complaints: One is “pending removal” and is within the 15-day window allowed, and the other is a stray that officers have been unable to locate.

There are many reasons to ban roosters in the city, Zorrilla says, and even the state Public Health veterinarian said the number of roosters in a city should be limited. Cockfighting, in which two roosters are placed in a ring to fight each other to the death, was a popular sport in parts of Louisiana in the past, and in June 2007, Louisiana became the last state in the country to ban the practice. Officer Frank Robertson, a spokesman for the New Orleans Police Department, said the police haven’t received any complaints regarding cockfighting in the last year. Zorrilla says a ban on roosters in the city will reinforce the prohibition against cockfighting. “Because the LA/SPCA has investigated and charged individuals in Orleans Parish with animal cruelty who were actively involved in cockfighting, we believe making roosters illegal in city limits will further reduce animal cruelty,” she says. “The LA/SPCA acknowledged it was important to allow hens for the purpose of egg-laying but did not find any reasons for allowing roosters, who are often the source of noise complaints,” she says. The New Orleans law is similar to ordinances around the country. Few towns or cities allow roosters, according to a primer on chicken laws at www.backyardchicken.com, an online community for urban poultry enthusiasts: “Since one of the main reasons people keep chickens is for eggs, it is generally accepted to only allow hens,” the website says. Bryon Cornelison, who works in Councilwoman LaToya Cantrell’s office, has lived in New Orleans for 20 years and has kept hens at two different homes. He says he had three to four hens but never a rooster. When purchasing chicks, he says, a person can buy them sorted by sex, or unsorted, which usually is less expensive but could include roosters. “There’s no need for anyone to have a rooster in the city limits if they just want to have fresh eggs,” says Cornelison, who adds he frequently had enough eggs to share with neighbors. Zorrilla says the LA/SPCA has been distributing brochures and “responding to complaints with education first.” One Mid-City resident says when she called animal control earlier this year to complain about a rooster on her block, she was told the ordinance had a three-month grandfathering period and that the animal could remain. Zorrilla says that is incorrect. “There is no grace period on the ordinances,” she says. Animal control officers work from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., she says, allowing them to visit homes before and after work hours if necessary. Complaints can be emailed to dispatch@la-spca.org. Most rooster owners cooperate once they learn about the rule changes, she says. “Our goal is to have the animal moved out of parish to a more appropriate setting,” Zorrilla said.

RISING TIDE EDITION “We’re not going to allow a single levee board that has been hijacked by a group of trial lawyers to determine flood protection, coastal restoration and economic repercussions for the entire State of Louisiana.” — Gov. Bobby Jindal, in a press release issued from Aspen, Colo., regarding the July 24 lawsuit filed by the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-East against 97 oil and gas companies seeking reparations and damages for coastal land loss. Jindal was attending a GOP governor’s conference and speaking to the Aspen Institute, whose Board of Trustees includes David Koch, one of the owners of Koch Industries, a defendant in the lawsuit. “While the coastline disappears, this governor decides to play politics and make demands on an independent board rather than take steps to hold oil and gas companies responsible for their share of the damages.” — Lead plaintiff’s counsel Glad Jones, in response to Jindal’s comments. “We recognize the controversial nature of this lawsuit and regret its necessity. But the industry has had years to do what it should do, and what in most instances it said it would do. Everyone else has stepped up. … The one party missing from this conversation is the energy industry.” — John Barry, flood authority vice-chair, in an op-ed explaining why he and his fellow board members voted unanimously to sue Big Oil.

Noble Energy on behalf of client Bill Dore, the founder and largest shareholder of Global Industries, a publically held oil service company in Sulphur. Jones also successfully sued Exxon on behalf of aggrieved residents of Grand Bois in the 1990s. Since then, he has litigated environmental cases across the country. In another July 23 volley, Graves wrote of Jones: “The guy negotiated a contract where he tries to gain hundreds of millions of dollars in the name of coastal protection.” He followed that the next day with, “Find a person in New Orleans that would say the Corps is absolved of failures because they repaired the levees from Katrina-idiot!” Asked to comment on Graves’ tweets, Jones told Gambit, “Mr. Graves will come around. This will be a long adventure.” Meanwhile, a number of others in the Twitter realm weighed in. Tweeter @crabioscar answered Graves, “How can it possibly be the stance of cpra chair that oil companies should not pay canal repairs? Extreme cognitive dissonance.” Crabioscar later added, “For that matter, I’m sure you hold core [sic] responsible for a century of mismanagement... But not oil companies? Makes no sense.” Former Times-Picayune city editor — and current Advocate investigations managing editor — Gordon Russell observed via Twitter, “Tweets by ‪@garretgraves, Jindal’s coastal czar, about Levee Board’s suit against oil and gas cos are pretty fascinating.‪” And telling. — CLANCY DUBOS

COASTAL CZAR TWEETS ABOUT LEVEE BOARD SUIT Garret Graves, who chairs the state’s Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) and advises Gov. Bobby Jindal on coastal issues, took to Twitter last week to continue his boss’s line of attack opposing the lawsuit filed against oil and gas companies by the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection AuthorityEast (SLFPA-E) (see “Wetland Wars,” p. 15). The flood authority sued 97 energy companies, seeking damages and reparations for decades of coastal land loss. Jindal and Graves were the first to take up Big Oil’s case. Graves, tweeting as @garretgraves, went after the flood authority’s lead counsel, environmental lawyer Glad Jones, on July 23: “For atty Gladstone Jones to say the Corps’ funding of Katrina levee repairs absolves them of coastal loss liability is ignorant.” Later that day, he took another shot at Jones: “Gladstone Jones is so out of his league. Has no business litigating coastal issues with such irrespon- sible statements.” Actually, Jones is one of the most successful environmental lawyers in the state. He won the state’s largest coastal loss case, collecting more than $100 million in damages from Exxon and

CITY COUNCIL EASES FOOD TRUCK RULES After more than a year of planning and negotiation with Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s administration, the City Council on July 25 finally passed an updated mobile vending ordinance liberalizing rules for food trucks in the city. On July 24, council members held a special economic development committee meeting to review the proposed ordinance, which came from the Landrieu administration after the mayor vetoed an ordinance the council passed in April. The earlier version of the ordinance, drafted by then-Council President Stacy Head, prohibited trucks from operating within 200 feet of a restaurant. (Current law places a 600-foot restriction.) Food truck operators — and Head — questioned the constitutionality of a proximity requirement but pressed forward with the measure to save time. Landrieu cited the proximity requirement as one of the reasons he vetoed the measure, writing in a statement in May, “it appears certain that it will be invalidated by the court.” The administration’s version of the ordinance does not include any proximity requirement.

Are you concerned about that as a lawsuit?” she asked. Landrieu’s cultural economy advisor Scott Hutcheson reminded Clarkson that food trucks are a part of that industry. At the full council meeting the next day (July 25), Clarkson proposed an amendment to include a 100-foot requirement, but she later withdrew it, finding no support for the amendment from other council members. The new ordinance allows 100 food truck permits. The current cap is 75. The Council also passed an amendment for food truck operators to post public notices of their permit application, so neighborhoods could “weigh in” on their approval, Clarkson said. — ALEX WOODWARD

WEST COAST CRITICS NOT FANS OF THE BOUNCE RAPPER “Postal Service Delivers; Audience Jarred by Opening Act” was a headline on the front page of The Seattle Times last week after New Orleans bounce rapper Big Freedia opened for the 1990s electropop band The Postal Service on some of the band’s West Coast dates. Reviews for Freedia’s signature crossdressing, booty-popping style were worse just across the border in Vancouver. “Either way, the ‘Queen Diva all the way from New Orleans, Louisiana’ has done something quite impressive making a career out of such a limited and, ultimately, annoyingly repetitive genre,” sniffed a critic for The Vancouver Sun. In Santa Barbara, Calif., a reviewer for the Santa Barbara Independent called Freedia’s act “a show as mesmerizing as it was completely out of place, not to mention wholly appalling to a sizable cross-section of early arrivers. The verdict: the most fantastically ridiculous booking misstep to hit the Bowl in years.” A reality show about the performer’s life and the New Orleans hip-hop scene, Big Freedia: Queen of Bounce, is set to debut on Fuse TV in September. — KEVIN ALLMAN

FERRY FARES UNFAIR? Algiers business owners painted a dire picture of their summer business projections at the New Orleans City Council Transportation Committee meeting July 23. Business owners said they’re in a tight spot now that service hours of the Algiers-Canal Street ferry have been reduced significantly. The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development took over operation of the ferries earlier this month and stopped offering service through midnight. The new schedule halts the ferries at 6:15 p.m. on weekdays and 8 p.m. weekends. “For the bars and restaurants, this has effectively eliminated all our tourism business in the evening,” said Vine and Dine owner Vanessa Thurber. “We’ve got to have people back on the ferry by 6:15.” “We’ve been cut off from the rest of the city because of the ferry hours,” said Skip Gallagher of the Algiers Point Association. “The trick is the immediacy of the moment. People are losing patience, and people are losing jobs.” Gallagher was referring to service industry employees who take the ferry to work downtown and are left without a ride home when their shifts end. House of the Rising Sun Bed and Breakfast owner Kevin Herridge said the city doesn’t help remove the poor public perception of Algiers Point, and Thurber said there should be a promotional push of the ferry service similar to those provided for the St. Charles Avenue and Canal streetcars. The New Orleans Regional Transit Authority (RTA) will seek public comment at a special City Council meeting at 5 p.m. Aug. 5 to discuss a proposed fare restructuring. The ferries currently are free to pedestrians. The fare plan creates a $75 monthly pass, or a $2 one-way fare. A day pass with access to buses and streetcars would be $8. — ALEX WOODWARD

COMMENTARY

thinking out loud

What’s fare? ew Orleans has a habit of neglecting its outlying neighborhoods — whether they be the sprawling eastern New Orleans, still lagging in post-Hurricane Katrina recovery, or Algiers, still 100 percent a part of New Orleans despite some people’s misconceptions about the West Bank. At the New Orleans City Council’s Transportation Committee meeting July 23, Algiers business owners and residents expressed their firm belief that the city hasn’t helped promote Algiers Point. They have a good, um, point. Historic Algiers not only suffers from perceived isolation from the French Quarter and CBD, but it also faces some larger economic woes because of recent (and dramatic) reductions in the operating hours of the Algiers ferry. Earlier in July, the state Department of Transportation and Development took over local ferry operations — and a

shoestring budget to keep them running — while a long-term solution could be figured out in the wake of the May vote to end tolls on the Crescent City Connection. The tolls formerly generated revenues to operate the Algiers and Chalmette ferries, which until recently ran until midnight. Now they stop at 6:15 p.m. on weeknights and 8 p.m. on weekends. Consequently, visitors to Algiers Point can’t stay there for dinner, guests at Algiers bed and breakfasts have to return from the French Quarter before sunset, and service industry employees are stuck without a convenient way back across the river when their shifts end. Business owners on the Point say they’ve seen a calamitous drop in income as a result. The New Orleans Regional Transit Authority (RTA), which is run by the international transportation firm Veolia, will seek public comment Aug. 5 on its plan to revise the Algiers ferry’s operations to return it to “normal” service — with a fee. The proposed fare schedule is a hefty one for regular ferry riders — $75 for a monthly pass. For less frequent travelers, the proposed rate structure is a $2

Boiling Mad ast Tuesday, people in the Carrollton area woke up to what must have looked like a catastrophic flood (or a levee break) — 2 feet of water in some places, submerging cars. Others nearby didn’t notice anything until they turned on the tap to brush their teeth or make coffee (or, worse, flush the toilet): low water pressure. A major water main had broken in the wee hours, and once again the New Orleans Sewerage & Water Board (S&WB) was caught flat-footed. Response to the crisis itself was quick enough, but New Orleanians who had been through this drill before wanted to know if the neighborhood, or the city, was now under a boil-water advisory. The answer, the city said, was “no.” Until it became “yes.” Nearly six hours later, the S&WB issued a boil-water order for much of Uptown (including unaffected areas), saying it wasn’t in response to a particular contamination threat, but “out of an abundance of caution.” Caution? How cautious is it to wait six hours — six hours during which residents spent their morning drinking water, bathing in it, cooking with it and generally behaving like Americans in a city with modern infrastructure. It’s difficult to imagine anyone who hadn’t come in contact with the affected water by 11 a.m., when the boil order was issued. Today’s S&WB inherited a century-old, decaying infrastructure. Certainly no one wants the agency to jump the gun and issue boil-water orders every time the pressure dips. (There have been at least five boil orders in the last few years.) But a problem with the water system is either a public health emergency or it’s not, and waiting hours to issue a boilwater advisory isn’t “an abundance of caution.” It’s the opposite — and one that sends mixed messages to residents and businesses.

one-way fare, or $4 round trip. It used to be free. It seems clear that some sort of fee will be necessary to keep the Algiers ferry running, but it’s also clear that two things need to be paramount in setting the fare. First, many Algiers residents work in the downtown hospitality industry. Ferry hours must be extended so that residents in our 24-hour city can get to and from work. Second, while a monthly pass structure is imperative, $75 seems steep. A monthly transit pass in San Francisco — which covers the entire city — is only $66.

t didn’t take long for the oil and gas industry to play a political trump card in the nascent but epic legal battle over who should pay to rebuild Louisiana’s vanishing coastal wetlands. Gov. Bobby Jindal rushed to the industry’s defense the same day that a local flood protection authority sued 97 oil and gas companies over coastal land loss. Jindal said the flood board had been “hijacked by a group of trial lawyers.” The governor also claimed the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-East (SLFPA-E), which filed the suit on July 24, “overstepped its authority” by tackling coastal land-loss issues, which historically are overseen by the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority. Jindal called the suit “nothing but a windfall for a handful of trial lawyers.” It should come as no surprise that the energy industry, arguably the richest in the world, applied political pressure to resolve a potentially expensive legal issue. After all, political connections — forged by free-flowing campaign money and year-round lobbying and schmoozing — have allowed oil and gas companies to have their way with state regulators, governors and legislators for decades. And why not start with pressure from the top? The list of named defendants includes some of the biggest names in Big Oil — and some of the biggest political contributors:

Koch Industries, Atlantic Richfield, BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Exxon Mobil, McMoRan, Shell, Tennessee Gas Pipeline and Pickens, to name just a few. Coincidentally, or perhaps not, Jindal issued his attack against the lawsuit and the plaintiff lawyers from Aspen, Colo., where he was attending the Republican Governors meeting. Last Thursday, July 25, Jindal was scheduled to speak at an Aspen Institutesponsored event called The McCloskey Speakers Series. David Koch, one of the Koch brothers, is on the Board of Trustees of the Aspen Institute. Koch Industries is among the named defendants in the lawsuit. Applying political pressure from the get-go also follows a familiar script. Two decades ago, when local plaintiff attorneys took on Big Tobacco, the first thing the cigarette companies did was seek a meeting with then-Louisiana Attorney General Richard Ieyoub to try to convince him it was a bad idea for the state to follow the lead of Mississippi, which had just filed its own suit against the tobacco industry. To his credit, Ieyoub ignored the arguments of the tobacco lawyers and lobbyists. As a result, state lawmakers and Jindal are still spending the billions that Louisiana received for successfully pursuing a case against the tobacco industry. PAGE 16

A LOCAL FLOOD CONTROL AUTHORITY HAS SUED BIG OIL OVER WETLANDS LOSS, BUT THE INDUSTRY IS FIGHTING BACK — WITH GOV. BOBBY JINDAL LEADING THE CHARGE. AT STAKE: BILLIONS IN DAMAGES … AND THE FUTURE OF NEW ORLEANS. By Clancy DuBos

Another line of attack by Big Tobacco was to demonize the plaintiff attorneys as greedy trial lawyers out to make a fast buck at the expense of taxpayers. That was a lie, but apparently it’s still a popular yarn in some quarters, judging by Jindal’s statement last week. Ironically, the first lawyers who will make piles of dough on the lawsuit are those working for the oil and gas defendants. They bill by the hour — at sky-high rates — and get paid promptly by clients who believe, like the late Vince Lombardi, that winning is the only thing. By contrast, plaintiff lawyers hired by the flood authority will get paid (a sliding-scale percentage of the damages awarded) only if they win — or if the flood board abandons the suit. In the latter instance, the plaintiff attorneys will get reimbursed for their out-ofpocket expenses (which could run into the millions) and for “reasonable fees.” “[The flood authority lawyers are] taking a tremendous risk in filing this suit,” said John Barry, flood board vice chairman and a historian. “They only get paid if they win. Before they win, they will have to put at risk not only tens of thousands of hours of legal work but also millions of dollars funding the scientific research to back up our filing. They could win big. They could also go bankrupt if they lose.” Barry issued a measured response to Jindal’s broadside, which followed similar criticism by state Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority Chairman Garret Graves, who doubles as Jindal’s top advisor on coastal matters. Barry has worked closely with Graves on coastal restoration issues, and Barry said he believes the governor has done a lot for Louisiana’s coast. “It pains me personally to be at odds with them over this,” Barry said. “But our board is independent and arrived at its position based on its collective scientific and policy judgment.” Barry added that Jindal cited the wrong statute when he said that the flood board did not have authority to enter into a contingency-fee contract with its lawyers. “He is relying on the statute for state boards and commissions, not the statute that applies to the [flood] authority,” he said. “No one hijacked this board. Before anyone ever approached a lawyer, the board discussed whether we wanted to do this. We agreed — and we were unanimous — that we did.” The flood protection authority was created by the Legislature after Hurricane Katrina as part of levee board consolidation in southeast Louisiana. SLFPA-E comprises the Orleans Levee District, the Lake Borgne Basin Levee District (in St. Bernard Parish) and the East Jefferson Levee District. In addition to taking on the oil and gas industry, Barry and other flood authority board members face near-certain political fallout for their role in the lawsuit. In fact, sources say

the governor already is making moves against Barry — despite saying publicly he would not interfere with the lawsuit. Barry’s term on the flood board expired June 30. State law requires a local nominating committee (comprised of area business leaders) to either renominate Barry or to nominate several others. The governor gets to make the appointment. The vetting committee members typically meet in the autumn and are mostly if not all Jindal supporters. They could ask the governor to reappoint Barry, who has been a favorite of the group, but Jindal is notoriously intolerant of people whose actions displease him or conflict with his ambitions. If Jindal’s past actions are any indication, he is already making moves to get Barry off the board. He also will find ways to put pressure on other flood authority board members to withdraw their support for the lawsuit. For example, board President Tim Doody’s term also expired June 30. Doody works at the downtown law firm of Chaffe McCall, one of the city’s old-line defense firms. It would not be difficult for Jindal and/or Big Oil to put pressure on the firm as well as Doody. But Jindal’s options also could be limited, at least somewhat. If the vetting committee renominates Barry and Doody, the governor may have no options. If Jindal tries to replace them with nominees who oppose the suit, area state senators could refuse to confirm them next year, and they would have to resign from the board. While board members are appointed by the governor, they do not serve at his pleasure; they serve staggered fouryear terms and remain on the board until their replacements are named. “I would like to stay on the board, no question about that,” Barry said, “and I also understand that this might prevent that.” Barry added that he was compelled to weigh his desire to continue as a commissioner against the importance of restoring coastal Louisiana. When he did, he said, “It was a pretty easy choice to make.” The political pressure that the defendants are likely to bring won’t end with Jindal and Graves’ opposition. Former Congressman Chris John of Lafayette, who now leads the Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association — a powerful player in state politics — already has said the group may ask lawmakers to derail the lawsuit. Many of the association’s members were named as defendants. The industry may even try to get Attorney General Buddy Caldwell, who approved the flood board’s contingency contract with lead plaintiff attorney Glad Jones and other lawyers, to withdraw that approval. Considering that Caldwell readily approved contracts for lawyers to sue BP on behalf of public bodies after the Deepwater Horizon disaster, such a reversal seems unlikely — but that won’t stop the energy giants from trying. If it survives the initial procedural and political grenades that the defendants are expected to lob, this lawsuit has the potential to be even bigger (in terms of scope and damage awards) than the BP litigation. Barry says other flood protection boards across coastal Louisiana “may have no choice” but to join this litigation or file their own lawsuits if the local flood authority gains traction in court. Jones, the lead plaintiff lawyer, says he and his colleagues are “ready for this fight.” While Barry struck a conciliatory tone in response to Jindal’s opening volley, Jones answered in kind. “The governor’s power play on behalf of oil and gas companies is, to say the least, disappointing to the good civil servants on the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection

Gov. Bobby Jindal says the flood authority has ‘overstepped its authority’ and has been ‘hijacked by a group of trial lawyers.’ Authority-East,” Jones wrote in an email to Gambit. “While the coastline disappears, this governor decides to play politics and make demands on an independent board rather than take steps to hold oil and gas companies responsible for their share of the damages. We hope the governor and his team will put politics aside and do the right thing here, which is let the SLFPA-E do its job and protect the people of Greater New Orleans as they are charged to do.”

At some point, and fairly soon, the defendants will have to fire back on another front by formally answering the lawsuit. The suit was filed in Civil District Court (CDC) in New Orleans. The case was allotted to Judge Paula Brown, who was first elected to the CDC bench in 2010. The defendants’ first line of legal defense may well be a “notice of removal” to transfer the case to federal court, where judges and juries — and jurisprudence — are likely to be more favorable to them. That will come even before the oil and gas defendants file general denials of the flood board’s allegations. But removal to federal court is not a slam-dunk. “This was a very carefully drawn lawsuit,” said one defense lawyer familiar with the case, who asked not to be identified. “There are no federal defendants, and all the current defendants have ties to Louisiana. The demands are all couched as tort claims under Louisiana law. Unless the petition is amended or other defendants are added from outside Louisiana, the case could easily stay at CDC.” No matter where it’s tried, the case also could drag on for years. The suit seeks environmental damages for oil and gas exploration and development east of the Mississippi River, mostly in St. Bernard and Plaquemines parishes. It focuses on miles of pipeline and access canals that oil and gas companies carved out of Louisiana’s coastline, starting in the 1930s. If the suit is successful, it will be to Big Oil what the Tobacco Litigation was to that industry: a game-changer. “If they believe the expert scientific testimony given by our witnesses, then we win the lawsuit,” Jones told writer Bob Marshall of The Lens. “That’s what this will all come down to — the science.” Well, almost. It also will come down to the law. If the case is removed to federal court, say defense attorneys interviewed by Gambit, there is ample jurisprudence that could scuttle the case. In state court, where the case was filed, the law offers more opportunities for the plaintiffs to succeed. Jones worked closely with Barry, author of Rising Tide, to draft the suit. The opening pages of the suit read like a chapter of Barry’s award-winning book, which chronicled the catastrophic 1927 flood. A few excerpts: • “Coastal lands are the natural protective buffer without which the levees that protect the cities and towns of southern Louisiana are left exposed to unabated destructive forces. This protective buffer took 6,000 years to form. Yet … it has been

brought to the brink of destruction over the course of a single human lifetime. Hundreds of thousands of acres of the coastal lands that once offered protection to south Louisiana are now gone as a result of oil and gas industry activities.” • “For nearly a century, the oil and gas industry has continuously and relentlessly traversed, dredged, drilled and extracted in coastal Louisiana. It reaps enormous financial gain by exploiting the resources found there, sharing some of that bounty with the many residents whom it employs. Yet it also ravages Louisiana’s coastal landscape. … This canal network injects corrosive saltwater into interior coastal lands, killing vegetation and carrying away mountains of soil. What remains of these coastal lands is so seriously diseased that if nothing is done, it will slip into the Gulf of Mexico by the end of this century, if not sooner.” The suit also notes the more than 200 miles of levees, hundreds of floodwalls and floodgates, and other flood control structures operated and maintained by the three area levee districts. It then goes on to describe “the crisis” presented by coastal wetland destruction: “Coastal lands are the first line of defense for south Louisiana’s communities against the destructive force of hurricanes. Those lands form a buffer that reduces the height and energy of hurricane storm surge and waves, thereby aiding the Authority in its mission to protect south Louisiana. Hurricanes lose intensity as they travel over land. Hence, the more land that a given hurricane must traverse before reaching Louisiana’s coastal cities, the weaker that hurricane’s impact on those communities, and, concomitantly, the more effective the levee system. “The coastal landscapes and levee systems thus work in harmony, with the former acting as a natural first line of defense in abating the flood threat, and the latter serving as

the last line of defense against the widespread inundation of inhabited areas.” The suit alleges that the land loss caused by oil and gas exploration and development “has raced on unabated since the early 1930s, averaging thousands of acres lost per year … and is anticipated to grow at an aggressive pace. … The coastal lands that remain have been left severely diseased by the constant intrusion of corrosive saltwater, leaving them highly susceptible to being washed away by the next storm. This consequence was demonstrated by the tremendous excavation of wetlands caused by Hurricane Isaac in August 2012.” The suit claims that the energy industry’s network of canals and channels — many of which were dug before some of the federal and state laws cited in the lawsuit — have killed off vegetation, inhibited sedimentation, eroded coastal lands and generally caused or accelerated coastal land loss. “Oil and gas activities have transformed and continue to transform what was once a stable ecosystem of naturally occurring bayous, small canals and ditches into an extensive — and expanding — network of large and deep canals that continues to widen due to Defendants’ ongoing failure to maintain this network or restore the ecosystem to its natural state,” the suit alleges. “That canal network continues to introduce increasingly larger volumes of damaging saltwater, at increasingly greater velocity, ever deeper into Louisiana’s coastal landscape and interior wetlands. “The increasing intrusion of saltwater stresses the vegetation that holds wetlands together, weakening — and ultimately killing — that vegetation. Thus weakened, the remaining soil is washed away even by minor storms.” The suit also alleges that “additional, ongoing oil and gas activities” continue to contribute to coastal land loss. Those activities include road dumps, ring levees, drilling activities, fluid withdrawal, seismic surveys, the use of marsh buggies, spoil disposal and dispersal, watercraft navigation, impoundments and propwashing/ maintenance dredging. The citation to “ongoing oil and gas activities” is no doubt intended to address anticipated legal defenses by the energy industry, including an assertion that the claims brought by the flood authority expired or were waived by lax state enforcement. That will

be one of the main legal fights in the early, pre-trial stages of the litigation — if Jindal and lawmakers don’t quash it sooner. The suit further claims that the oil and gas companies exacerbated coastal land loss by failing to maintain the canal network and banks of the canals. “Those acts and omissions, which continue through today, have caused both the erosion of the canal banks and the expansion beyond their originally permitted widths and depths of the canals comprising that network, resulting in the steady infiltration of saltwater into the coastal lands,” the suit contents. “The consequent ecological degradation to these areas has produced weakened coastal lands and extensive land loss. This in turn has created markedly increased storm surge risk, attendant flood protection costs, and, thus, damages.” The suit does not seek a specific dollar amount in damages, but it does identify specific “costs” to the flood protection authority as a result of oil and gas activities. Those costs include abatement and restoration of coastal wetlands; paying for the hurricane and storm damage risk reduction system put in place by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (including the local share of maintaining levees — estimated to be many millions); levee certification costs (including extensive engineering studies); and “additional costs associated with flood protection.” The suit also seeks court costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees and “other damages.” The legal framework for the suit is grounded in both state and federal law. Jones and Barry acknowledge that the canals were legally permitted, but they contend that the defendants have not lived up to promises — and, in some cases, legal requirements — that the canals be maintained so as not to damage area levee systems or increase flooding in residential areas. The suit cites six theories of recovery under the law — negligence, strict liability, a centuries-old legal concept known under Louisiana law as “natural servitude of drainage,” public nuisance, private nuisance and breach of contract. Natural servitude of drainage prohibits one property owner from taking action — or failing to take action — that causes adjoining or nearby property owners to flood. In this case, the suit alleges that destruction of the wetlands has changed the natural hydrology of southeast Louisiana such that areas in and around New Orleans now flood because of oil and gas activities in the natural drainage areas below the city. Barry says the flood authority will have to spend millions more in future years to protect people and property in the metro area because of the coastal land loss. “No one denies — not even the oil industry — that the canals they dredged helped cause this problem,” he says. “The industry is not responsible for all of the land loss. There are multiple causes for that. But the federal government has already spent more than $15 billion for its share of the problem. All we’re asking of the oil and gas companies is to pay their fair share for the damage that they did.” “Someone will pay the costs of future flooding and flood protection,” Jones said. “This lawsuit will determine who pays those costs — the citizens, the state and feds alone? Or will the oil and gas companies pay their fair share as well?”

These are prepared “Pittsburgh style” with a thick charred crust. “Searing the outside of the steak really seals all the juices inside,” Wible says. “If you’ve never had it prepared that way, at first it’s shocking to you. We only use the center cuts of all steak, and they’re all incredibly

Lakefront dining boom

Dining options are increasing along the New Orleans lakefront. The Blue Crab Restaurant & Oyster Bar (7900 Lakeshore Drive, 504-284-2898; www. thebluecrabnola.com) opened last week on the water by the West End marinas. It’s next door to Landry’s Seafood (8000 Lakeshore Drive, 504-283-1010; www. landrysseafoodhouse.com), a Houstonbased regional chain, and down the road from Brisbi’s Lakefront Restaurant & Bar (7400 Lakeshore Drive, 504-3044125; www.brisbisrestaurant.com), which made its debut about a month ago. Together, they represent a revival for a part of the city that was a magnet for family dining for generations before Hurricane Katrina. Casual restaurants once lined the adjacent West End Park, though their numbers dwindled over the years and Katrina wiped out the few remaining places. Blue Crab manager Kent Burgess is part of the family that ran one of the lakefront’s best-known and most-enduring

a much-improved revamp of a CBD brasserie

Sainte Marie has same look but new flavors. By Ian McNulty

ainte Marie’s assertively spiced barbecue jerk shrimp, loudly and wonderfully dressed with sweet and tart mango chow chow, could have come from a different restaurant than the subtle and delicate quinoa and crabmeat salad. But these starkly different dishes point in the same direction — to refreshing originality and consistency at a restaurant that has long needed a stronger dose of both. They’re each standouts on the latest menu at Sainte Marie, where a revamp that’s been underway for some time (and was interrupted by tragedy) is coming into full bloom. That’s not necessarily evident at first glance. The soaring dining room and sleek bar have the same design that turned heads when Sainte Marie first opened in a brand-new CBD high-rise in 2010. It still feels like an upscale lunchroom for dealmakers by day and a gastro-lounge at night. But earlier menus mixing French standards and comfort food trends always seemed more about form than fulfilling flavor, and the restaurant’s identity felt unsettled from visit to visit. Then Sainte Marie shook things up, from the management team to the kitchen to the bar, where the earlier Champagne theme was replaced by craft cocktails (I like the “peaches and Jimador”). Overall, a renewed Sainte Marie was emerging when, in January, its young chef Ngoc Nguyen died after a heart attack. His recent successor is Kristen Essig, a veteran of local A-list kitchens and a former Crescent City Farmers Market manager.

She’s kept some of Nguyen’s dishes and added plenty of her own for a menu that jumps between East and West but tends to land squarely on the sweet spot. Peaches and snap beans plump up that quinoa and crabmeat salad, and the addition of smoked goat cheese pulls off the nifty trick of making the crab taste smoked without diminishing its fresh sweetness. In one particularly impressive entree, roasted duck was burgundy-rare under a crackinglike crust and strands of confit threaded a hearty risotto. Perhaps because of the season, most of my favorites were among the lighter appetizers and salads, such as a dish of fried oysters with slivered apples in a tangle of peppery watercress. A visibly overcooked skewer of beef riding shotgun with cool noodle salad notched a rare disappointment. Steak frites, Cobb salad and a pricey burger are solid though predictable and also near-requirements for an upscale restaurant courting downtown business lunches. The mussels might have made that category too, but for an exhilarating red miso broth elevating them above the pack. Sainte Marie also is one of the only places where you’ll hear a waiter inquiring about your yaka mein. It’s a salty standard of second lines and corner stores, but here it is recast for fine dining with house-made egg noodles, large shrimp and a $13 price tag. In other words, it has no street cred, but it is delicious and I’d order it again in a heartbeat.

This blend of Portuguese regional varietals not well-known to American wine drinkers comes from Esporao Estate Vineyards. Aragones — the same as Spanish tempranillo — adds dried cherry fruit flavors. Trincadeira, which is frequently used in port, offers body, color and herbal undertones, and castelao provides structure to the blend. The wine is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and aged for six months in a combination of stainless steel and American oak prior to blending. The aromatic wine exhibits wild berries, spicy oak and dried herbs in its bouquet. On the palate, taste black and red cherry, plum, jammy red currants, cranberry, supple tannins and good acidity. Decant 30 minutes before serving for best flavor. Drink it with tapas, pasta dishes, chicken, pork, duck, chevre and charcuterie. Buy it at: Martin Wine Cellars, Terranova Brothers Superette and Whole Foods Markets. Drink it at: Cochon and St. James Cheese Co.

interview restaurants, Sid-Mar’s, which operated for nearly 40 years just across the parish line in Bucktown. He reopened SidMar’s at a Metairie address in 2010, but it closed in 2012. Burgess says the menu at the Blue Crab is based on the old Sid-Mar’s format, with po-boys, fried seafood platters and seasonal boiled seafood anchoring the options. There also are grilled seafood dishes, steaks, entrees including barbecue shrimp, red beans and rice and shrimp Creole and a kid’s menu. There’s an oyster bar, but it hasn’t begun service yet. The Blue Crab has a full bar. This restaurant has been under development for two years, and it was originally conceived as Duke’s on the Basin, after chef Duke LoCicero of Cafe Giovanni. But last summer, LoCicero announced he was no longer involved with the project, citing disagreements with the other partners. The name was changed and Burgess was brought in. A dock and a store for boaters to pick up snacks, ice and drinks are still in the works for a second phase of the Blue Crab project, and Burgess says they should be complete in six months. The Blue Crab serves lunch and dinner every day except Monday.

Milkfish spawning

Milkfish (www.milkfishnola.com) is the place to find Filipino food in New Orleans, but first you have to find Milkfish — and that’s become trickier lately. Early in 2012, Cristina Quackenbush started Milkfish as a one-night pop-up

ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF ANTHROPOLOGY

avid Beriss has made food in general, and New Orleans food culture in particular, a focus in his work as an anthropologist at the University of New Orleans. His latest research paper, “Red Beans and Rebuilding: An Iconic Dish, Memory and Culture in New Orleans,” uses our fondness for red beans to examine the city’s identity. The work received special recognition at the recent Oxford Symposium on Food and Cookery at Oxford University in England. A Minnesota native, Beriss has lived in New Orleans since 1997. What stirred your interest in red beans as a subject? Beriss: Ultimately, this is a mundane dish, but it’s one of those things that symbolize New Orleans that you don’t necessarily know about unless you live here. It’s not gourmet at all. It’s the staff meal at restaurants, it’s in the cafeteria at my kids’ schools every Monday. And after Hurricane Katrina there was this insistence that people missed red beans more than anything else. You heard it from everyone. It reminded them of home. I felt that and I’m not even from there. That made it stand out as a key symbol. You’ve called red beans “central to the practice and mythology of New Orleans cuisine.” How so? B: It’s part of the story we tell ourselves about why New Orleans is unique. The food comes from this mixing of people, the different European nations, the Africans, the Native Americans. Pick up any cookbook and that story is always there, though the oppression is usually left out. The idea that beans themselves are an American thing adapted by Europeans, that the rice arrives from Africa through slavery and then the combination of beans and rice, that influence from the Caribbean, well that’s our entire history in three pieces. What’s it like studying food anthropology in New Orleans? B: On some level, anthropologists are always interested in food because it’s an important part of what humans do. In New Orleans, it’s hard to miss the fact that food is one of our key symbols. So it’s fun. The students love it, and there’s this growing concentration on it at UNO that we want to capitalize on. If you’re looking at food policy, restaurant marketing, food production, labor issues, zoning and urban planning, those are all realms where having a background in this could be helpful. — IAN MCNULTY

inside RioMar, where she worked at the time, to showcase the cooking of her native Philippines. The venture evolved rapidly and by last fall it had a more-or-less conventional restaurant format, serving dinner six nights a week inside the Who Dat Coffee Cafe (2401 Burgundy St., 504-872-0360; www.whodatcoffeecafe. com) in the Marigny. Her arrangement with the cafe ended abruptly earlier this month, and Quackenbush is shuttling her business between a pair of unrelated Italian restaurants three days a week. “We have some generous chefs in this town,” Quackenbush says. “When people heard I needed a new space, the phone started ringing.” Milkfish now serves its full menu on Sundays inside a Mano (870 Tchoupitoulas St., 504-208-9280; www. amanonola.com) in the Warehouse District, and on Mondays and Tuesdays inside Cibugnu (709 St. Charles Ave., 504-558-8990; www.cibugnu.com), which opened recently a few blocks away. Milkfish is open at each location from noon to 10 p.m., and delivery is available in the neighborhood. Quackenbush says

she hopes to open in her own space soon so she can resume regular service. Who Dat Coffee Cafe owner Craig Nero has brought on chef Tim Wilkerson to oversee an expanded breakfast, lunch and brunch menu. He says they plan to add dinner service by fall.

the

Gal’s holiday

The menu at Galatoire’s Restaurant (209 Bourbon St., 504-525-2021; www. galatoires.com) is famous for hardly ever changing, yet the periodic wine dinners held at the landmark restaurant traditionally have given its chefs room to get creative. Another series of these dinners begins Wednesday, July 31, featuring the wines from New Orleans neuroscientist and winemaker Nicolas Bazan. These wines, which he makes with Oregon’s Wahle Vineyard, will be paired with a menu created for the evening by chef Michael Sichel, and it includes some of Galatoire’s classic dishes. Future editions of the series are scheduled each month through October. The dinners begin at 7 p.m., cost $100 per person and reservations are required.

Trends, notes, quirks and quotes from the world of food. “Restaurant kitchens have never been palaces of political correctness or tact. … Yet part of the romance of a restaurant experience is the mystery that precedes each dish’s grand reveal. Perhaps social media has shown us that with fine dining meals, as with laws and sausages, we’re just better off not seeing them being made.” — Adam Liaw, from a column in The Wall Street Journal, arguing that chefs can be their own worst enemies on social media by disclosing too much about what happens behind the scenes at their restaurants.

A new restaurant based around a locally rare, but traditional, approach to pizza opened Uptown recently. Amici Ristorante & Bar (3218 Magazine St., 504-300-1250; www.amicinola.com) specializes in pizza from a coal-fired oven. Coal-fired pizza ovens generate intense heat, producing pocks of char and mild smokiness in a properly cooked crust. The Amici menu has build-your-own pizza options and specialty pies topped with clams and clam sauce, broccoli rabe and sausage, cauliflower and olive oil and other combinations. The pizza oven is employed for “Italian-style chicken wings” and roasted veal and pork chops. Amici is the latest concept from the local company that runs Jester Mardi Gras Daiquiris and Pizza, which has three daiquiri shops on Bourbon Street and a related beverage-mix supply company. Instead of daiquiris, the full bar at Amici boasts some 30 draft beers. The restaurant serves dinner daily. A pizzeria using a coal oven is in the works in Metairie. RocketFire Pizza Co. (1950 N. Hwy. 190, Covington, 985-3277600; www.rocketfirepizza.com) opened on the Northshore last year, and its owners are renovating the restaurant space at 612 Veterans Memorial Blvd. They expect to open this second RocketFire in late August.

Shooting Star A new documentary profiles the influential Memphis band Big Star. By Alex Woodward

focus of the film, Ardent Studios becomes a pivotal character unique to Memphis and the Big Star story. “My friends walk into Ardent thinking they’re going to get a picture of the lobby, and they get a full tour and a T-shirt and a record, and Jody walks out and shows them his drum kit,” DeNicola says. “This is kind of an Ardent-sponsored project. They had all the music and the photos and the footage, and the studio is still intact — it’s basically how it was since 1971.” In the film’s closing moments, Fry smiles as he hovers over the studio boards listening to Big Star tapes, which are often shown on Ardent’s shelves with hand-written labels. The film also explores the alternate-universe John Lennon-Paul McCartney dynamic of Chilton and Bell. Almost none of the archival footage shows Chilton and Bell — the band’s primary songwriters — together, other than speaking in a brief radio interview where they plug #1 Record with reluctant enthusiasm. “We never really hashed out what their relationship was,” DeNicola says. “Nobody was really sure whether they were even friends. That’s a big question I’ve come away with, and I still can’t answer it.” The film treats each songwriter’s career with equal weight. Bell almost-casually disappears from Big Star before the sophomore album Radio City and pursues a solo career — leaving behind his brilliant but underrated I Am the Cosmos. He died in a car accident in 1978 at 27. (His brother’s scrapbook of Bell’s career includes headlines following his death. None mention Big Star.) The film charts Chilton shape-shifting from shy songwriter to punk rock godfather, appearing on public television proclaiming he’s gone punk, to his death at age 59 on March 17, 2010, the day before the band’s scheduled appearance at South By Southwest in Austin, Texas. Chilton left Memphis in the early 1980s for New Orleans and a clean slate. He played with Panther Burns and in informal cover bands while he held odd jobs — dishwashing and landscaping among them.

“I get the feeling he got Big Star members (l. to r.) Alex really fed up with MemChilton, Jody Stephens, Chris Bell phis,” DeNicola says. “New and Andy Hummel. Orleans isn’t really a city of PHOTO COURTESY OF MAGNOLIA PICTURES music machines. It’s more a city of musicians, who play. That was sort of his Big Star: M.O. That was the lifestyle JULY Nothing Can Hurt Me he wanted, to be a gigging musician, and make a little 6:30 p.m. & money to pay the rent.” 8:45 p.m. Tuesday Following a small Big Star Contemporary Arts “reunion” and a few solo albums, Chilton moved into Center, 900 Camp St., a Treme cottage and kept a (504) 528-3800; low profile. He played onewww.cacno.org off gigs at Mermaid Lounge Tickets $7, free for CAC and The Howlin’ Wolf, where and New Orleans Film DeNicola saw him perform. Society members “I was warned to keep away from him if you see him,” DeNicola remembers. “I went there and thought he’d play maybe one Big Star cover. He didn’t do any. He was getting a lot of jeering from the crowd, making fun of him. He was enjoying it. He was laughing the whole time.”

art of Big Star’s enduring appeal is how big it isn’t. The Memphis power-pop band debuted in 1972 to universal critical acclaim, and its three albums influenced hundreds of bands. Rolling Stone gave the band a kingmaking review, so what happened? As record shoptalk legend goes — and the new documentary Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me expands — marketing, troubled egos and members’ reluctance to become famous ensured Big Star would instead become a legend in its rock ’n’ roll obscurity. In one of the documentary’s archival interview clips, The Replacements — whose 1987 song “Alex Chilton” is dedicated to the Big Star songwriter — say Chilton and the band deserve more. “He doesn’t want our help,” says Replacements frontman Paul Westerberg, “but damn it, he’s going to get it.” “It’s not like they’re Mick Jagger,” director Drew DeNicola tells Gambit. “I kind of saw them more as lightning in a bottle happening in a studio — and these unwitting participants in a thing that was bigger than them.” In 1970, Chilton gave up pop stardom (as the voice and face of The Box Tops, whose hit “The Letter” stayed at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for a month). He joined Memphis songwriter Chris Bell, bassist Andy Hummel and drummer Jody Stephens to form Big Star, which released the stunning debut album #1 Record in 1972. Its bold, bright riffs and pitch-perfect songcraft won over the engineers at Memphis’ Ardent studios, and producer John Fry says in the film that even if the lyrics weren’t that great (they were), “We got something.” DeNicola attended Tulane University in the 1990s. “I went straight for the college radio (station),” he says. “There were a bunch of weirdos in the basement of the student union, so that was my world.” There he found a copy of Third, Big Star’s last. “I dubbed that to a CD and listened to it every day my freshman year, and put it on compilation tapes for girls, just like everybody did,” DeNicola says. The film is a triumphant — albeit tragic — rock documentary, relying on footage and interviews with a cast of characters, like band publicist John King, who organized the “Rock Writers Convention” that put Big Star on stage in front of the likes of Lester Bangs and the taste-making critics. Then there’s Bill Cunningham, producer Jim Dickinson, Chilton’s late-career collaborators, and family members who didn’t know what the fuss was all about until band members’ deaths. As much as Big Star and its inner circle are the

Futurebirds

Many bands operate with two or even three leaders, but five? Further dulling the old saw about too many cooks in the kitchen, Baba Yaga, the second album from Athens, Ga., country-rockers Futurebirds, is a most improbable potluck: assembled in pieces by a quintet of subtly shaded singer/songwriters; recorded over 45 scattered days at multiple studios, during a sevenmonth touring cycle; and picked up earlier this year by a respectable label, Fat Possum, after its authors had all but given up hopes of a release. Such a nonlinear back story should have yielded a confused patchwork, yet Baba Yaga’s 13 tracks don’t just hold together as a record — they’re a testament Futurebirds to artistic perserverence and the exponential power of group dynamics, the AUG product of five bands operating as one. De facto frontman Carter King may 10 p.m. Saturday drive the van — his opening tandem “Virginia Slims” and “Serial Bowls” sets One Eyed Jacks, the course, a prairie of reverb-swathed steel guitars (courtesy of Dennis Love, 615 Toulouse St., the lone member who doesn’t contribute songs) and swollen-tonsil Southern (504) 569-8361; rock — but King knows how and when to cede the wheel. Of the rest, multiinstrumentalist Daniel Womack routes the most interesting detours, “Felix www.oneeyedjacks.net Helix” echoing Built to Spill’s effortless way with indelible melody and “Heavy Weights” hitching a ride on the big-rig sing-alongs of tourmate Drive-By Truckers. After issuing Baba Yaga in April, Futurebirds announced the departure of drummer Payton Bradford, leaving the remaining four to pick up the slack. Somehow they’ll manage. Diarrhea Planet opens.

Timing often plays a major role in determining whether a topical film finds a substantial audience. In the case of Fruitvale Station, the true story of Oscar Grant — who was shot and killed by a Bay Area Rapid Transit police officer while in custody and laying face down on an Oakland, Calif. train platform on New Year’s Day 2009 — no one would have hoped for the extra attention the film will likely Fruitvale Station (R) receive due to the proximity of its release to the recent resolution of George Zimmerman’s Directed by Ryan Coogler criminal trial in the death of Trayvon Martin. Starring Michael B. Jordan That probably won’t keep Fruitvale Station from becoming a political football instead of a and Octavia Spencer must-see movie in the weeks ahead — which Wide release is a shame, because this debut feature from 27-year-old writer/director Ryan Coogler is the first authentic Oscar contender among American films released so far this year, and it’s almost August. Fruitvale Station begins with actual cellphone footage of Grant’s tragic and alltoo-public shooting. What follows is as far from a documentary as movies get. The film traces the last day of Grant’s life from the moment he wakes up until he finds himself lying helplessly on that platform, foregoing politics to paint a complex and believable portrait of a flawed young man who’s truly a product of his time. Fruitvale Station should make a star of Michael B. Jordan, an actor most familiar from roles in TV series like The Wire and Friday Night Lights. As Grant, Jordan delivers the kind of pitch-perfect work that leads directly to major movie careers. Octavia Spencer, who won an Oscar two years ago for her work in The Help, is almost as effective as Grant’s long-suffering mother, Wanda Johnson. Fruitvale Station won both the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. But the movie’s early relationship with Sundance is more significant. Coogler was invited to develop his movie at the Sundance Screenwriter’s Lab, the same font of cinematic support on which Benh Zeitlin and Lucy Alibar relied while crafting Beasts of the Southern Wild. Despite its brief 20-day shooting schedule and obviously tiny budget, Fruitvale Station possesses a rare narrative strength and sureness of hand. It’ll break your heart, and that may be the greatest political act of all. — KEN KORMAN

THRU Chinese Takeaway The latest in a string of award-winning AUG 9:30 p.m. p.m. Tue.-Thu. foreign-made films that generally put Zeitgeist Multi-Disciplinary Hollywood’s 2013 summer output Arts Center, 1618 to shame, Argentine writer/director Sebastian Borensztein’s warm and thoughtful Oretha Castle Haley Blvd., Chinese Takeaway shows what can happen (504) 352-1150; when two lost and damaged souls collide. A www.zeitgeistinc.net Chinese man named Jun (Ignacio Huang) finds himself on the street in Buenos Aires equipped only with a giant language barrier and an address tattooed on his arm. Hardware store owner Roberto (Ricardo Darin) leads a regimented and intentionally isolated life, collecting absurd news stories in a scrapbook to validate his disappointment with the world. But he reluctantly takes in Jun and tries to help him find a long-lost relative. Communicating through gestures while speaking uselessly at each other in Mandarin and Spanish, the pair gradually reaches an understanding that may alter two lives in dire need of restoration. Chinese Takeaway is more comedy than drama, but not in the broad strokes you might expect given its familiar odd-couple scenario. Though the story develops slowly, it engages from the start through restrained yet memorable work from Huang and especially Darin, who deservedly ranks among Argentina’s biggest movie stars. The result is a blast of fresh air and a summer movie built unapologetically for grown-ups. — KEN KORMAN

“Since 1969”

Slow Light: Artificial retina photography by AnnieLaurie Erickson Antenna Gallery 3718 St. Claude Ave. (504) 250-7975 www.press-street.com

They can be vague and ghostlike, but we all occasionally see them. Afterimages are the hazy auras of things that are no longer there and can be caused by bright lights fluctuating at night. Photographer AnnieLaurie Erickson began to see them all the time after a traffic accident. Maddening at first, they became more intriguing to Erickson as her symptoms eventually waned. She even invented a camera with a special sensor specifically to capture afterimages, and upon moving to Louisiana she discovered petrochemical refineries as perfect subjects for her new pursuit. Glowing like diabolical Christmas lights on an industrial scale, they became objects of fascination that she stalked and recorded — a practice that resulted in occasional scrapes with the law. In the post-9/11 world, no photos of such facilities are allowed, which heightened her impression of them as “strange forbidden cities.” The result is this Slow Light series of large color photographs that bend both the laws of optics and the Homeland Security statutes. The images themselves are grainy and ominous yet sometimes almost jazzy. For instance, a Port Allen refinery (pictured) suggests a vintage science fiction illustration, or even a visual version of a rhapsodic saxophone riff from the bebop era. But the gaseous aura is less than reassuring, and in another Port Allen image a single smokestack pumping mystery vapors into a granular night sky is downright chilling, a postcard from an unnamed abyss. A view of glowing scaffoldlike refinery structures in Norco looks infernal yet celebratory, as if the denizens of Hades built chemical bonfires to welcome the lord of the underworld. But Erickson’s view is more philosophical: “For me, these images evoke both a presence and an absence. They are points along a continuum between strict representation and subjective abstraction, or between our immediate visual reality and the decaying, remembered imagery that subconsciously shapes our perception.” It is a perspective she earned the hard way. — D.

Love, Loss, and What I Wore

Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre reopened July 19 with a staged reading of Nora and Delia Ephron’s Love, Loss, and What I Wore, an adaptation of Ilene Beckerman’s book of the same name. The cast included Mary Louise Wilson, Clare Moncrief, Lara Grice, Tracey E. Collins and Janet Shea, who notes in her cast-bio entry that she first appeared on Le Petit’s stage in a 1955 production of The Birds. Carl Walker directed the veteran cast, and a different set of actors was scheduled for the second week of the run. Love, Loss is a memory play, or actually a nostalgia play. It’s a feel-good, crowdsourced mix of anecdotes and remarks on fashion and various rights of passage, including first times wearing perfume, a bra and a wedding dress. Much of the story revolves around a timeline and narrative from Gingy (Shea), who starts with her first Brownie uniform and progresses through a lifetime of functional and fashionable clothes. For the first third the of the show, the women tell stories in which they fight their mothers as they try to wear the clothes of older women, and there is a litany of interrogations about sexuality and changing social mores. “Your bra strap is showing. … What do you mean it’s supposed to be showing?” Clothes are used to illustrate social distinctions and boundaries, such as hippie fashion trends and the ordeal of the gift of a 1970s-era brown plaid outfit with an accompanying crocheted vest. At times, the show is more about bodies and aging than clothes, and the

run of concerns is often very funny. Grice: “Is my butt falling?” Collins: “Is my butt falling?” Wilson: “Oh my God, my butt fell.” One of the more poignant moments was a long vignette about coping with breast cancer. Grice portrayed a 27-year-old woman about to undergo a mastectomy. She notices her medical team’s dourness and realizes that they are presuming a short life expectancy. She always had small breasts, but in the wake of treatment, she decides to get not just reconstructive surgery, but a significant augmentation. And as she embraces her new future, she decides a breast tattoo will look good too. The show’s tone is very upbeat, but a couple of parts don’t fit. The revelation of a rape is a non sequitur in the middle of a story about shoes, and the closing note about loving shoes hits the wrong note. Most of the stories are told by women who bounce back and forth from New York to New England enclaves, and satellite tales are set in places like Berkeley, Calif. An isolated story from a Hispanic woman who runs with Chicago street-gang members seems like a lone attempt at ethnic diversity, and it plays like a detour into a bad accent. Humor about fashion disasters and the dependability of things like wearing black keeps the 90-minute show lively. Wilson was particularly funny and has a great sense of timing, but ultimately, the ensemble is very good. — WILL COVIELLO

GARDEN & LEARNING CENTER Our Kids’ Village: A place where kids experience the joy and discover what it means to care for the earth Developed in 2011 by NOLA Green Roots, Our Kids’ Village Garden & Learning Center primarily focuses on kids in preschool through 5th grade. Our Kids’ Village provides training for kids teaching them how to grow fruits and vegetables properly with all-natural products. We also teach them how to raise farm animals and they learn all about insects. We re-enforce what kids learn in their science class, providing a real-world application.

Kids: Pick Your Dinner

On the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month, each child (along with parent) is invited to harvest for the night’s dinner between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. They will be given “Veggie Money” with which they will “pay” for the greens they gather. With a parent by their side, they can wander the whole OKV garden, harvesting anything from carrots to swiss chard, sweet potatoes, green peas, watermelon, broccoli, eggplant, pumpkin, fresh chicken eggs, and so much more!

GARDEN ADDRESS

4235 Tulane Avenue New Orleans, LA 70119

Membership Information

Kids Membership is $25 for the first child and $5 each for additional children within the same family. Apply for membership today by visiting www.OurKidsVillage.com.

Teachers: Plan A Field Trip

Want your students to experience lessons learned in science class in real life? Take them on a field trip to Our Kids’ Village. Choose between several workshops including How to Plant From Seeds and Good and Bad Insects. For more info, call 504-206-9290.

Dear New Orleans Job Guru, “I have applied to some interesting jobs that seemed great, but after going through the whole process I end up finding out that they just don’t pay me enough to leave my current job. I’m afraid that if I ask how much the job pays up front, they won’t like that. On the other hand, I hate wasting so much time for a job that is low paying. Thanks for any advice you can give.” — Hallie L., Metairie, LA

SEASONAL

Dear Hallie, It is true, Hallie, that asking for salary information at the early stages of the interview and selection process could negatively impact your prospects. It is generally best not to close a door before it opens. And although it can be good practice to interview, expending the resources and headaches of a lengthy application and interview process only to find out that a job pays far less than you had imagined, can be counterproductive.

SECURITY Court Security Officer 1

In addition to helping you target jobs that pay a suitable salary level, knowing the likely pay for a position can help you with negotiating a higher salary, something that is more possible than most people imagine. The most accurate way to research pay is to have an “in” at the company or organization that can find out the information for you. If you have a strong social media (for example, LinkedIn) network, you can reach out to others and often find that information. Candidates who are “plugged in” to their networks, including those COMMUNICATIONS, INC. who work for area hospitals, universities, and major employers, often have a friend or colleague they canGAMBIT call who can dig up salary information.

Glassdoor.com gathers salary data for over 100,000 companies culled from millions of reports from its users. The site also gives tidbits on the company’s interview process and work environment. You can get some good salary information from Payscale.com in return for supplying certain information. For a small monthly fee, you can research salary information obtained via surveys from Vault.com. Indeed.com and SimplyHired.com provide basic salary information for various job titles that are based on their job postings.

Although I did mention that it is usually best to put salary negotiations toward the end of the interview and selection process, it is acceptable to address the issue at the end of the interview. As the interview concludes, most interviewers will ask if you have any questions. If salary has not been mentioned at any point previously, you can consider leading with your enthusiasm about the possibility of working for the company, state what you know you can bring to the table, and then say, “I don’t recall any mention of the salary. Can you share what the salary range is for a top candidate?” Hallie, here is a summary of my suggestions for you in attempting to gauge the salary of a position as you are in the job search process: • Tap your social media and personal networks to uncover salary information. In many cases, your contact may know another person with exactly the information you need.

• Feel free toward the end of the interview process to inquire about the salary range being offered. In many cases, you may be in a position to negotiate a modest increase if you are selected.
