LASPCA Fundraiser Howling Success, November 7 at the Hyatt Regency
Puppy (and Kitten) Love New LASPCA Expands Animal Adoptions
By Celeste Turner
M
eet Ethel, a two-year-old pitbull terrier mix who was recently dropped off at the newly renovated and spacious Louisiana SPCA located right over the Crescent City bridge on the Westbank. She is a frisky medium-sized dog with big brown eyes. Her first stop at LASPCA was Phase I, a safe shelter and health clinic for animals who are picked up, dropped off or rescued. “In Phase I,” said Dean Warren, Development Director of the non-profit LASPCA, “an animal is automatically spayed or neutered, given shots and behavior training.” Recognized as one of the oldest and most comprehensive animal welfare organizations, LASPCA is an open admission shelter for more than 20,000 homeless and companion animals annually. After Phase I, the next stop for Ethel is the Resource Center, where she works with LASPCA staff and volunteers learning basic commands and house training. Then she is prepared to settle in one of the “condos” for the dog adoption process. “These condos have a living room atmosphere,” said Warren, “with music pumped into the room, some furniture, a rug, a glass door to look out at the yard and a waterproof floor. There is also a playroom for groups of dogs to run and play, as well as a fetch room where the staff can throw balls for activity.” While the initial focus for Ethel was the spay/neuter program, innovative adoption and foster programs have increased the opportunity of pet adoption, resulting in saved lives. Adoption counselors try to find the animal who will best fit with the adopting household. Great resources like the internet and social media have been instrumental in the adoption process. “Someone can sit on their laptop or phone,

see the animal in any community and know what great animals are available,” noted Warren. “A multitude of animals have been adopted because their photos or wonderful stories are posted on social media and the web.” Animals like Ethel can participate in the Sleepover Program, which allows a qualified adoptive parent to “try out” a pet prior to an adoption. The adoptive family is granted 72 hours to introduce the pet to their household and then finalize adoption or return the animal. “The Sleepover Program has been working out really well,” said Warren. “More people are willing to try the program if they’re still just considering adopting a certain animal. They don’t feel as guilty if the animal isn’t a match because they know a condo is waiting for the animal, and the program allows the adoption counselors to gain more information about the animal if it comes back to us.” Although it may be temporary, animals like Ethel can be placed in the foster program, a rewarding volunteer experience. LASPCA provides the foster home with everything it needs in order to care for the animal, whether the animal is recovering from a medical treatment or needs assistance while waiting for a forever home. Transport fostering is considered the shortest foster commitment since foster care is only needed before the
LASPCA embraces a program, called T-N-R (Trap-NeuterReturn), for feral cats dwelling in and around the New Orleans area. animal is transported to partner shelters for adoption. After spending more than a month in a condo at the LASPCA, Ethel has moved into a foster home off site to gain more exposure to people and enjoy a local household. Another option to consider for adoption involves transporting the animal to a partnering shelter where there is a larger demand for cats and dogs. Last year alone, LASPCA helped nearly 3000 animals settle in a family home, with approximately 1000 animals transported. Consequently, these precious lives were spared. Through the Resource Center, the LASPCA offers training
programs at a discounted rate for adoptive families, as well as first aid classes and community outreach programs. The youth humane education activities, such as LASPCA Camp, Birthday Pawties and Critter Cinema, have been very popular in enhancing students’ understanding of and compassion toward animals. “Unfortunately, our Humane Law officers still deal with issues and cases where the individuals have a mindset that animals are an income resource through fighting and backyard breeding,” said Warren. “We have always been there for the animals and our mission has always included fostering the human–animal bond.” LASPCA’s vision does embrace a unique program, called T-N-R (Trap-Neuter-Return), for the wild and homeless population of feral cats dwelling in and around the New Orleans area. “A feral cat,” said Loretta Lambert, Clinic Director at the LASPCA, “is a special animal that has not been socialized and is more aligned with wildlife. These cats need to be humanely trapped in special cages and brought to the clinic. Then they spend the night for spay/neuter, minor wound care, vaccinations and ear-tipping.” Lambert explained that the simple removal of the tip of the cat’s ear distinguishes it when it returns to its neighborhood, because it indicates it has been vaccinated and sterilized. The feral cat is cared for overnight at the clinic for a nominal charge of $25. “It is like a bed-andbreakfast for the feral cat,” said Lambert. “Everything is provided for a healthier cat, including spay/neuter surgery, rabies vaccination, ear-tipping and sleepover.” The recent expansion of the LASPCA allows a high volume of spay/neuter surgeries, but it also provides a wellness clinic for non-urgent, baseline services for pets and client education about vaccinations, diet, exercise and heartworm prevention for dogs and cats. “The added capacity of the
clinic,” said Lambert, “helps the animals and the visitors to be more comfortable. Next year, we are launching an ancillary section involving dental health for cats and dogs. This will include preventive dental work and major cleaning to keep pets healthy.” Since their grand opening on August 28, 2015, LASPCA accepts almost any animal, although it is best equipped to handle traditional pets: dogs and cats. “We do help other animals,” said Warren, “like guinea pigs, rabbits, pigs and horses…except cows. But we hope to add and build a barn in a year.” While Ethel spends time with a foster family, she, like many other animals, is ready to start a new life in a special forever home. For more than 125 years, LASPCA has been a strong animal advocate while providing care for our fourlegged, furry friends. For Ethel and other animals awaiting adoption, there is N.O. place like home.

The Ever-Evolving Po-Boy
L
ess than ten years ago, it was not difficult to recognize an authentic New Orleans po-boy. Fillings ranged from sloppy roast beef and debris with gravy to fried shrimp, catfish, oyster or soft-shell crab. There were hot sausage po-boys (Patton, of course), hamburger po-boys and even French fry po-boys smothered in brown gravy, all dressed with mayo or butter, lettuce, tomatoes and even the hotly debated sliced pickles nestled in a Leidenheimer or Dong Phuong bun. But now it’s time to take another look. Some of the po-boy’s evolution can be credited to the culinary genius and competition that has erupted over the past nine years at the Oak Street Po-Boy Festival, held this year on Sunday, November 22. Most of the mouth-watering ingenuity we see today is due to talented chefs offering their take on the world-famous po-boy, incorporating all of the delicious ingredients we in Louisiana have long had right at our fingertips. One of my favorite po-boy incarnations is the Breaux Bridge Benedict Po-Boy at Stanley. Located on a corner of Jackson Square on Chartres Street, Stanley has been a go-to breakfast and lunch spot for tourists roaming the French Quarter for over fi ve years now. Regardless of its age, this sandwich is certainly not served wrapped in butcher paper. Instead, expect an open-faced presentation with poached eggs perched atop a patty of house-made boudin, Chisesi ham, American cheese and Leidenheimer French bread draped with a tangy Hollandaise sauce. Just as folks were beginning to get used to the idea of an Eggs Benedict po-boy, along came local chef Camille Boudreaux and his wife, April, with Killer Po-Boys, offering a unique perspective on the time-honored sandwich. Boudreaux and his wife opened

this insanely popular kitchen installation inside the Erin Rose bar in late 2012, and are preparing to open a second location all their very own on Dauphine Street. There, you can try everything from a seared Gulf shrimp po-boy with marinated veggies to a grass-fed meatloaf po-boy, but recently what’s made me all agog is their roasted sweet potato po-boy with black-eyed pea and pecan spread, pickled shallots and wilted greens. Who knew vegetables could be so delicious? All the way across town in Mid-City, chef/owner Micheal Gullotta of MoPho (formerly the sous chef at John Besh’s flagship restaurant August) has blurred the lines between Vietnamese and Creole cuisine. Though formally known as banh mi, New Orleanians have long been calling these inexpensive yet delicious sandwiches Vietnamese po-boys, and MoPho is no exception, featuring special “po-boy” creations that combine the best of both worlds. One popular po-boy manifestation on their menu is the Cast Iron Tofu with black bean mayo, pickled vegetables, jalapenos, fresh Vietnamese herbs like basil and mint and chicken liver pâté. There’s another newcomer to Mid-City dubbed Bevi Seafood Co., owned and operated by native New Orleanian Justin LeBlanc, a chef who worked in the kitchen at Peristyle. With a name like Bevi Seafood Co., you’d likely expect me to wax poetic about their quality Louisiana-sourced seafood po-boys, but the sandwich that really has me all aflutter is their Messi Swine, piled high with crispy pork belly, cochon de lait (smoked suckling pig), Chisesi ham and bacon fat mayonnaise. With succulent sandwiches like these available nowadays, we can’t wait to see what the chefs create at the 2015 Oak Street Po-Boy Festival.

Catch Where Y'at Movie Editor David Vicari and critic Fritz Esker's “Dueling Critics” blog at WhereYat.com.
Steve Jobs By Fritz Esker Writer Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network) returns to biopics, teaming with director Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, Trainspotting) for Steve Jobs. The filmmakers make an effort to break out of the mold of conventional childhood-to-death biopics, and that’s a good thing. Jobs is structured more like a three-act play, with three lengthy scenes centered around the title character (played by Michael Fassbender) at different product launches throughout his career (the Macintosh in 1984, the Next Cube in 1988, and the iMac in 1998). At these events, the audience witnesses conflicts he has with his former partner (Seth Rogan), Apple’s CEO (the excellent Jeff Daniels), his assistant (Kate Winslet with an iff y Polish accent), and the mother (Katherine Waterston) of his child. The one drawback to this structure is that it necessitates some overly on-the-nose and expository dialogue. But, that quibble aside, for a nearly two-hour movie that’s literally all talk, Steve Jobs is entertaining and fast-paced. As usual, Sorkin writes funny, sharp dialogue and Fassbender turns in a stellar performance. Jobs is a difficult character to like – he was spiteful, demanding, petty, and sometimes downright cruel. But Sorkin, Fassbender, and Boyle are able to make a portrait of a man you wouldn’t want to work for into a movie you won’t mind spending two hours watching.

Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension By David Vicari The first Paranormal Activity is an extremely effective horror movie, but because of its success it was inevitably followed by a never-ending parade of inferior sequels. Now, the filmmakers claim that this sixth trip down the “found footage” hole that is Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension is the final one, but I have my doubts. Rehashed once again, a family living in a really nice house is terrorized by an unseen demon – but they have video cameras to record it all. In fact, the husband (Chris J. Murray) in this one – who apparently can't comb his hair – finds a homemade camera stashed in a box. This special camera has the ability to see and record things the naked eye can't see, like black goop spewing up from the floor to form a demon. No need to call the cops, the Marines or even the Ghostbusters. The wife (Brit Shaw) does eventually call the most inept priest in the history of cinematic exorcising priests. It's too late, however, because the demon, with the help of a witches coven that was shoehorned into one of the previous sequels, has its grip on the couple's young daughter (Ivy George), whom it needs so it can become flesh and blood. This is the first 3-D Paranormal Activity movie but the 3-D works only intermittently, and the video image crossed with the 3-D image causes a distortion of red and blue colors bleeding from the edges of objects. Basically, it looks like you're watching an old 3-D movie without wearing those crummy plastic red and blue glasses. There are plenty of laughs in Ghost Dimension (my favorite is when the demonic kid attacks the priest), but zero scares. This series is far past its prime and should be put to rest.
Dueling Critics: Crimson Peak By David Vicari and Fritz Esker
S
oon after a family tragedy, writer Edith Cushing (Mia Wasikowska) marries relative stranger Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston) and moves into his bedraggled mansion, which sits atop “Crimson Peak.” Edith has to deal not only with Thomas' volatile sister, Lucille (Jessica Chastain), but also spirits who are at unrest in this Gothic horror film from filmmaker Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth).
Fritz: Gothic horror is in short supply these days, so when a filmmaker with Guillermo del Toro's pedigree takes it on in Crimson Peak, there's reason for excitement. However, I though that the movie, while not bad, was a letdown. You liked it more. What about it worked for you? David: To be clear, this is lesser del Toro, but the movie does have wonderful, creepy atmosphere, is beautifully shot and is well performed by a game cast. I liked Tom Hiddleston in particular. He did a good job as a man conflicted. Fritz: The film's look is terrific. But I just thought the script was too predictable. There wasn't any suspense for me because I felt I was always a step ahead of the movie. And at nearly two hours, I got tired of it. David: Yes, it was predictable and I was always ahead of its plot points as well, but I still was invested in the characters and that made for a suspenseful finale. Now there are two moments of extreme violence, and some would say that the movie is just going for cheap gore but I disagree. The audience freaked out at those moments - I even saw someone run out
of the auditorium - so I would say those moments got the desired effect. They were highly effective! As jaded as I am with violence and gore, I even flinched. How about you? Fritz: I didn't think it was effective. I typically wince when a character meets a gruesome end in any movie. It just struck me as gory instead of scary or suspenseful. And speaking of violence, there's one bit late in the film that I thought was funny because it involves a character laughably underestimating someone that character knows is a multiple murderer. I like the idea of more horror being aimed at adults and not teenagers (stop with the found footage movies, Hollywood!), so I wanted to like Crimson Peak more than I did. But alas, to me it was a beautiful package with very little inside. David: Yes, there is a silly lapse in judgment by a character as he faces down a killer, but I still thought del Toro was able to wring some tension out of that scene; and I feel this movie is a bit more intelligent than you are giving it credit for. Crimson Peak is good – not great – but perfect for Halloween/Fall season viewing.

TalesFromTheQuarter By Debbie Lindsay
Farewells and Fanfares
W
hen Boyfriend and I decided to combine our bedrooms and domestic belongings in one address and move to a new neighborhood, I did not feel disloyal to my old friend—the French Quarter. Before, I had always felt that leaving would subtract something vital from the Quarter. What can someone like me, of slight social standing and insignificant means, offer that is vital? A hell of a lot. We ordinary residents vote, shop, do laundry, patronize bars, cafes and coffee shops, sit on our stoops, belong to crime watcher groups, go to mass, ride our bikes, tip our street musicians, support Mary’s Hardware Store—and, most importantly, we know our neighbors. It is understood: Never walk down Royal Street if you are in a hurry (and certainly never with a full bladder)—because everyone you know is there and you darn well better stop and say hello, pass a bit of gossip and share a hug. We who live in the Quarter keep it real. It always felt as if the personality and quirky ways of our residents added to what makes this weirder-than-dirt neighborhood something that people from all over the world come to see. And I enjoyed being one of those important threads in the fabric of the oldest neighborhood in our city. Yet as Boyfriend and I chose to leave our French Quarter apartments, I felt okay—still connected, a part of this 9-to-5 neighborhood. We still had a stake in it: we owned a cookbook shop on Toulouse Street, paid its rent, shopped in the Quarter, dined, tipped and paid taxes. We kept a small nook in the Quarter authentic and funky. We paid attention to our visitors and neighbors. Swept the Quarter’s streets after Katrina. Heck, we were one of the first new business licenses in the fall of 2005. And we were rewarded for our efforts. The rewards were numerous. For two people with not two licks of business sense between them, we became kind of famous thanks to the kindness of the media, both print and cyber. When I discovered we were Google-able I was thrilled, despite not quite knowing what the hell Google was. We haven’t been making much green but we still ain’t bounced a check yet (our actual mission statement on our website). Yet the rewards of good photo ops and skirting bankruptcy are totally outweighed by the gift of tourists entering our door. Those visitors from Alabama to Asia have given us a world view, an appreciation and, most of all, friendships. However, regardless of the personal and monetary camaraderie we
42 | November 2015 | Tales from the Quarter
enjoy with our tourists, they alone do not make a neighborhood. The French Quarter is not the traditional neighborhood it once was. Every year, the Quarter is looked back on with regrets and nostalgia. Every year, we think no more can be taken from it; surely the powers that be will step in and halt the homogenization of businesses and depletion of full-time residents. But think again. The trend of too few owning too much is on the rise. At least in the past the local businesses (restaurants, bars, shops, laundries, emporiums, hardware stores, even hotels) were, for the most part, individually owned. If memory serves, the only serious serial ownership was that of some Bourbon Street enterprises and T-shirt shops. Now a corporations owns 20 or more venues in just our Quarter. I wouldn’t want a best friend to own that much—no one person or company can bring individualized uniqueness to so many places. Face it: autonomy is unlikely to survive such a corporate environment. It’s not just the franchising of food and beverage; the replication of theme shops abounds. Yes, they’re attractive, with nice merchandise and lots of hard-working employees, yet more and more gift shops are becoming “any mall USA.” Nice, but not what makes—or at least used to make—our Quarter a stand-alone, unique place. I must concede (with great pride) that no matter how many residents and businesses are expelled from the French Quarter, it will always be, architecturally and historically speaking, just about the most distinct place in this country. At least for now, that much is protected. What wasn’t protected as our shop’s lease expired was our life in this neighborhood. I am torn between grateful and bitter, yet I must thank my landlady for our ten years in the space that we made ours and will profoundly miss. In the weeks before closing, the toilet from the courtyard restroom was placed in the dumpster as renovations began (I took a photo of its seat peaking out of the debris). I never thought a toilet could make me cry, but I’d sat on that damn porcelain for a decade. In October, the last of the cookbooks were boxed up. Photographs of customers (many now friends), of their pets and our pets, Christmas cards and sweet notes, all taped to our walls, were removed to be rehung at the new location. Phone numbers still litter the walls around our desk and will remain due to the indelible quality of Sharpies. I used my camera to record ten years' worth of information. And of course, the Back in 5, Gone to Walgreens, Gone for Coffee, Bathroom Break, Gone to St. Joe’s Altar for Lunch…at least 30 hand-drawn signs from Philipe and me. Hell, yeah, they will come with us. So, as we swept clean the empty shop we took one last look around, and amid the emptiness we could still glean the magic that we had made—and lost.

Peas and Quiet Or Intimate Quietude
C
ongratulations, you’re finally at a point in a relationship where—as imperfect as you both are—you’ve decided not to give up on each other as friends, mates, partners in crime and/or lovers. Quite possibly all of the above. You’ve made the decision to take that leap of faith and commit yourself to another person come hell or high water. Don’t blush. It’s been done before and once this deal has been made, simply, bravely and unconditionally, it just might work; then again, what do you know? Haven’t you (like so many of us) been wrong before? Mirror, mirror… At one time I thought that people paired up this time of year so that they wouldn’t have to go through the holidays alone. You know, the romance that begins around Thanksgiving and ends after Jazz Fest; when they see themselves basking in sunlight, a hot, oiled body in tight, revealing swimwear and you’re not part of the selfie? I know, I know; I was insecure, suspicious and untrusting about love. Then again, I was young and not very trustworthy myself… Now, here’s your holiday advice: be suspicious, insecure and untrusting about love; you should ask yourself some questions, the main one being, will those things about them that you see as special become a pain in the ass, say, in six months' time? Will you be their really big catch or just their next BTN (better than nothing) until the holidays are over? Are you/they/I such a big friggin’ catch, and who are we kidding? Will the pleasure that we get from each other possibly grow stale (for at least one of us) and this "togetherness" fizzle out? Will the sky always be blue? Do catfish have kittens and what’s love got to do with this? Oh, blah, blah, blah, you big baby; here’s your Uncle Phil’s wisdom on this very tender subject: Take it from me, the first stage of coupling is usually friendship or lust, and the next stage is usually, insecurity by and about both partners each in their own definitions and by turns; I find it quite natural for a person to question whether a new romantic liaison is based on facts or fantasy and wonder if the other person is hiding some gigantic insanity that will eventually surprise them in the shower with a butcher knife and scary background music. Then again, on the whole, life is like that—all new beginnings are like that. A
little apprehension is natural: a new book, food, friend, pet, watering hole, vehicle, or if, when the great guy that has been selling you pot for years has to go away and has left you the phone number of another place to score, it's like that. Who knew that you’d love raw oysters, yearn for a turntable and some LPs, want to ever drive a Lincoln Towncar or bounce to Big Freedia? Who knew that after that initial "come on" at the saloon, coffee shop, book signing or that run-in on the produce aisle over the romaine lettuce that you would wake up in bed with them and want to take it a step further? And who the heck knows what that other person thought and is possibly thinking about that—turtle breath, hair a mess and lingering love odor—morning after? Does that smile mean, "hey, that was great, let’s do it again some more’," or does that sheepish grin hide a, "what is that troll doing in my bed (or you in theirs), what was I thinking and how do I get out of this? Where are my (their) clothes?" Or, you know, this could be the beginning of a wonderful affair, an affair to remember, an affair that may go somewhere and is worthy of "rounding out?" Finding what else y’all have in common, how y’all feel about things in general and whether you can see your way into friendship, understanding, mutual respect, silly joking and more of that stuff you tried the night before that gave you that Charley horse in your upper back and made you both giggle to tears. If that’s the case, jump in with full faculties and take the ride for all it’s worth, possibly a fling and nothing more, but worth finding out about. In other words, see what it’s like being friends more than anything else, lovers next, and if, when the moments of passion have passed, and you find that you can still stand each other, maybe even to the point of wanting to keep and stay seeing each other, maybe you should take that chance. So, you’ve found what appears to be "The One" and coincidently, just in time for that family gathering, office party, big game or pot luck at Sylvia’s house (you know, that friend of yours that’s always asking when you’re gonna settle down and get a squeeze that’s not a sleaze). What now? In the words of Ernie K. Doe, “pay attention!” Listen a lot. Take walks. Don’t take anything for granted and be honest with yourself and them. Do not, ever, rely on your former experiences to rule current decisions. Learn likes and dislikes and learn to be alone together. Sing in harmony. Take it easy, take it slow, take the chance. Think of it as another opportunity to go shopping for presents (yay!). Congratulate yourselves. The holidays are upon us and it’s good to have someone to share the sanity and the insanity of it all with. After all, we all know how much trouble we can get into by ourselves, huh?
