Necessary Verdicts

cers — Michael Hunter, Robert Barrios and Ignatius Hills — pleaded guilty and cooperated with federal prosecutors. Lehrmann and Hunter’s cooperation earned them three-year and eight-year prison terms, respectively — a deal that must sound good now to the five cops who were convicted Aug. 5. According to Letten, sentencing guidelines indicate that Bowen, Gisevius and Villavaso face a minimum of 35 years each in prison, while Faulcon, who was convicted of shooting Madison to death, faces 60 years behind bars. Sgt. Arthur “Archie” Kaufman, who was not on the bridge, was convicted of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, lying to the feds and falsifying evidence; he faces up to 120 years, according to Letten. All but Kaufman are being held without bond until sentencing.

Some people still think the cops were railroaded, a position that requires stubbornly turning a blind eye to the facts.

Defense attorneys had pleaded a “stress defense,” saying the tension and trauma in Katrina’s aftermath affected the cops’ judgment and behavior. Those were indeed stressful days, but the vast majority of New Orleans police officers did not kill unarmed civilians and then conspire to hide the truth immediately after the fact. Letten aptly summed up the government’s response to the so-called “Katrina defense” after the verdicts came down, telling reporters, “Who can we count on when our society is threatened? If we can’t depend on them, who can we depend on?” Indeed. Cleaning up NOPD is not going to be easy, or quick, or tidy, just as the process that led to the Aug. 5 verdicts was neither easy, nor quick, nor tidy. In the end, however, the jury’s “guilty on all counts” decision was resounding. And necessary — for the Madison and Brissette families as well as for all New Orleanians.

hen jurors in what became known as the Danziger Trial returned their guilty verdicts Aug. 5, many New Orleanians described the outcome as “closure.” Not quite. Recently retired NOPD Sgt. Gerard Dugue, who coauthored the official police report on the Danziger Bridge shootings in the tumultuous days after Hurricane Katrina, is scheduled to be tried next month in connection with the cover-up. Likewise, the sentencing of former NOPD Lt. Michael Lohman, who pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice and has since cooperated with federal investigators, was once again postponed last week — also until next month. This saga is far from over. For the families of James Brissette and Ronald Madison, two unarmed civilians who were shot by NOPD officers as they attempted to walk to a grocery store in search of food and water, there can be no real closure, just the sense that justice, however delayed, has been served — to a point. Sgt. Kenneth Bowen, officer Robert Faulcon, Sgt. Robert Gisevius and officer Anthony Villavaso — who were all on the bridge that day — were found guilty of every federal charge brought against them. However, the jury did not find their actions constituted “murder.” Lance Madison, the brother of Ronald Madison, told reporters outside the courtroom, “We’re thankful for closure.” But Brissette’s mother, Sherrel Johnson, saw it differently. “I want the word ‘murder’ behind their name, attached to their name,” she said. “I’m not satisfied with this, and I’m not going to be satisfied with this.” For lawyers, the jury’s decision not to classify the killings as murder is a technical one; jurors found that the killer cops lacked the “specific intent” required under the law to classify a homicide as a murder. For the defendants, it means they won’t face automatic life sentences — though all of them face virtual life sentences behind bars. For the victims’ families and the community at large, the verdict has caused many to rethink their definition of justice. Amazingly, some people still think the cops were railroaded, a position that requires stubbornly turning a blind eye to the facts. In February 2010, Lohman pleaded guilty. U.S. Attorney Jim Letten said Lohman created false reports and witness statements and then lied to federal agents. Less than a month later, former NOPD officer Jeffrey Lehrmann pleaded guilty to misprision (concealment) of a felony. After Lehrmann’s plea, U.S. District Judge Lance Africk said, “I have neither imagined or heard of more despicable conduct by law enforcement officers.” Eventually three other former NOPD offi-

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“They’re acting like Beavis and Butt-Head.” — State Treasurer John Kennedy to Baton Rouge TV station NBC 33, describing his feelings toward the U.S. Congress.

‘WORST OF THE WORST’

New Orleans Police Chief Ronal Serpas is so pleased with the department’s Friday morning COMSTAT crime-statistic review meetings that he’s making them a twice-a-week affair. However, the new Tuesday COMSTAT meetings, unlike the Friday meetings, are cops-only affairs. “Because of highly sensitive information that will be disclosed, these Tuesday COMSTAT meetings will not be open to the public,” the NOPD said in a press release. The “Crime Intelligence Briefings” will highlight what the chief calls “the worst of the worst” criminals in the city, as well as the progress made by NOPD officers in apprehending them. The new COMSTAT meetings will be led by Deputy Chief Kirk Bouyelas. The first meeting is Aug. 16. — Kevin Allman

The bipartisan measure’s broad sweep is a potential kiddie porn-ring killer. But its other casualties include all Internet users, whose IP addresses (your computer’s unique web browsing number) will be logged by Internet service providers (ISP) for up to 18 months. The resolution, authored by Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., passed 19-10 in the House judiciary committee in July. The bill amends Section 2703 of title 18 of the U.S. Code to say, “A provider of an electronic communication service or remote computing service shall retain for a period of at least 18 months the temporarily assigned network addresses the service assigns to each account.” The people targeted aren’t necessarily sex offenders or suspected child predators.

Tulane led all Louisiana colleges and universities on the annual list of “top 650 colleges” ranked by Forbes magazine. The Uptown campus came in at No. 190 on the list, which was led overall for the second year in a row by Williams College, a small liberal-arts institution in western Massachusetts. Princeton came in second. So what’s the second-best undergraduate institution in Louisiana?

A rewrITe exPAnded The dATA retention to include addresses, credit card numbers, email addresses and other sensitive personal information submitted online (including pornography). Smith said in a statement, “Investigators need the assistance of Internet Service Providers to identify users and distributers of online child pornography. This bill requires ISPs to retain subscriber records, similar to records retained by telephone companies, to aid law enforcement officials in their fight against child sexual exploitation. … when investigators develop leads that might result in saving a child or apprehending a pedophile, their efforts should not be frustrated because vital records were destroyed simply because there was no requirement to retain them. every piece of prematurely discarded information could be the footprint of a child predator. This bill ensures that the online footprints of predators are not erased.” In the statement, wasserman Schultz added, “This bill will ensure that officers of the law have the information they need to identify and apprehend those who abuse and violate children.” Many ISPs already retain certain user information specifically for authorities under Section 2703, which requires “disclosure of customer communications of records.” Opponents of the latest resolution say it oversteps all sorts of privacy boundaries. “You lose any measure of privacy in the interest of monitoring the activities of a very small number of people,” says Marjorie esman, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Louisiana, which opposes the legislation. “The idea the government should be able to snoop on what everyone does, that’s sort of a classic ‘killing a flea with a sledgehammer.’” where dO LOCAL LegISLATOrS STAnd? Louisiana’s very recent history of child pornography suggests any crackdown measures would get a hearty thumbs up. Following last year’s bust of the “dreamboard” child pornography ring (with ties to Lafayette and Shreveport), and the subsequent arrests and prosecutions of 72 of its members, U.S. Attorney general eric holder told reporters this month that the ring was “the pre-eminent online community for the promotion of child sexual exploitation.” The bust was the largest ever in the U.S. On Aug. 10, former department of environmental Quality scientist

Michael drury pled guilty to child pornography charges stemming from a 2009 bust in which authorities found dozens of images on two laptop computers and three storage drives from drury’s home. In his 2009 State of the State address, gov. Bobby Jindal said he’d support any legislation to increase penalties against child predators. In his book Leadership and Crisis, Jindal wrote, “The Internet has become the hub of predators, particularly sexual predators who prey on women and children. In Louisiana, we are doing everything we can to make these people miserable. Make no mistake, we are not just trying to stop those who would attack and abuse our young. no, that’s far too modest a goal. we mean to do them harm and end their despicable crimes.” The governor also suggests chemical castration for repeat offenders. “The American public is ready for a crushing crackdown on these criminals,” Jindal wrote. robert Sawicki, press secretary for U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, says the senator is reviewing the proposed legislation while it is pending before a committee (on which Landrieu doesn’t serve). Louisiana Congressman Cedric richmond of new Orleans also is reviewing the bill. Aketa Simmons, richmond’s communications director, says the congressman “supports efforts to stamp out child pornography.” Gambit’s requests for comments from Sen. david Vitter and rep. John Fleming, both republicans, were not answered by press time. In an era of praise for “small government” legislation, some of its biggest defenders are throwing their support behind the bill. rep. Steve Chabot, r-Ohio, ran as an “outspoken defender of individual privacy rights,” according to his website. he’s one of the bill’s co-sponsors. The legislation also has the support of the national Center for Missing and exploited Children, the national Center for Victims of Crime, the national Sheriff’s Association, the Major County Sheriff’s Association, the International Union of Police Associations and the Fraternal Order of Police. The MeASUre IS TOO BrOAd TO PASS the smell test in the house — it’ll likely be rewritten to limit the scope of snooping allowed, according to Kimberly Mason, a University of new Orleans College of education and human development professor who specializes in Internet security and child protection issues. “I understand the reasoning behind wanting to implement this bill — trying to protect kids from pedophiles,” she

says. “however, the downfall of this bill is the privacy issue that generalizes to everyone — meaning whomever my Internet provider may be, they are going to be required for the next 18 months to maintain all my information. My IP address, my name, my address where I live, bank account information, personal information associated with that account — and keeping all that information without my permission to keep kids safe.” Mason also fears ISPs may be forced to invest in larger databases and monitoring systems to filter that information — the proposed legislation adds a safety amendment, ensuring the 18 months’ worth of data is protected (“stored securely to protect customer privacy and prevent against breaches of the records”). “where is that money going to be passed along? Typically, the consumer,” she says. “You’re going to have to store a year-and-a-half of information that is going to be encrypted in order for others not to have access.” The logging of IP addresses creates a digital footprint of website traffic. By zeroing in on certain addresses, authorities can trail users frequenting (or uploading to) child porn websites. Some “anonymizer” proxy tools attempt to conceal IP identities for “secure” web browsing. Mason says child predators, like those arrested following the dreamboard bust, employ networks of dummy addresses and aliases to avoid suspicion. “who’s to say, through this bill, the same thing isn’t going to happen?” she says. “They could easily mask who they are. “where does the law protect citizens from having their information being ascertained without my permission, when there really is no probable cause to get my information?” Mason says. “That’s the biggest downfall in looking at consumer and privacy issues in just technology in general.” Authorities and ISPs have tried in the past to gain control over user information — with little success. In 2006, department of Justice officials met with Comcast, AOL and other companies to convince them to retain at least two years’ worth of user data. The deal didn’t work out. “Certainly there are people who have used the Internet for Internet-based crimes, and it could be appropriate to impose restrictions on those people,” esman says. “But to presume guilt on the part of every person in this country is not the appropriate way to solve a problem.”

According to the Forbes list, it’s Centenary College, a private college in Shreveport, which was ranked No. 284 nationally. Next was Dillard at No. 380, followed by LSU at 442 and Loyola at 447. Louisiana Tech in Ruston also made the top 500, coming in at No. 494. Other Louisiana universities on the list were the University of LouisianaLafayette at No. 577, the University of New Orleans at No. 618 and Southeastern Louisiana University at 624. According to Forbes’ website, the rankings focus “on the things that matter the most to students: quality of teaching, great career prospects, graduation rates and low levels of debt. Unlike other lists, we pointedly ignore ephemeral measures such as school ‘reputation’ and ill-conceived metrics that reward wasteful spending. We try and evaluate the college purchase as a consumer would: Is it worth spending as much as a quarter of a million dollars for this degree?” — Clancy DuBos

Secretary of State race HeatS Up, trimS Down

The race for secretary of state didn’t take long to heat up last week, just as the field of candidates also got smaller. As expected, House Speaker Jim Tucker, R-Terrytown, announced he will run against interim Secretary of State Tom Schedler, R-St. Tammany. Schedler assumed the office last December when Jay Dardenne won the lieutenant governor’s job. Schedler was Dardenne’s first assistant and has since announced his intention of running for the job. Schedler previously served in the state Senate. As soon as Tucker announced for the post, Schedler fired off the first of what promises to be many volleys, swiping at Tucker for supporting the controversial 2008 legislative pay raise. “This latest move by Representative Tucker will be his plan for getting the pay raise he always wanted,” Schedler said in a press release. “As the architect of the legislative pay raise fiasco, Speaker Tucker tried to double his salary. Thankfully, the people of Louisiana and Gov. (Bobby) Jindal saw it differently.” Tucker called the pay raise a “red herring” and noted that he promised to donate his raise to charity had it become law. Jindal vetoed the measure. Tucker added that lawmakers made a “mistake” in 2008 when they made the raise effective immediately rather than in the following term — which a constitutional amendment now requires. Meanwhile, another GOP candidate for that office has announced he’s getting out of politics — for now. State Rep. Walker Hines, R-New Orleans, previously announced his candidacy for secretary

of state, but last week he said he will not seek any public office this fall. “At some point in the future, I plan on returning to public service to offer myself to Louisiana voters as a major office candidate,” Hines said in an email, later adding, “I look forward to the day when I am again able to serve the people of our State.” So far, the secretary of state’s race is an all-GOP affair, but that could change soon. Democrat Caroline Fayard, a New Orleans attorney who ran a credible race for lieutenant governor last year, is widely considered a likely entry. If she runs, she is expected to be the top spender, based on her family’s wealth and the dough she dropped in the lieutenant governor’s race last year. Though she has yet to declare, on Aug. 11 Fayard released her own poll that claimed “a true toss-up” in a hypothetical contest against “Tucker (or similar candidate),” though the poll carried no date or attribution. Also considered a potential candidate is Natural Resources Secretary Scott Angelle, a top adviser to Gov. Bobby Jindal and a recent GOP convert. Angelle would be the only non-New Orleans area candidate in the race if he runs, but he reportedly is having second thoughts about the campaign. Qualifying for all state and local offices on the Oct. 22 ballot is Sept. 6-8. — DuBos

Safe at Home plate

State restaurant safety inspections, which haven’t been online for public view in six years, became a lot easier to obtain Aug. 8, when the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals (DHH) launched EatSafe.la.gov, the department’s new searchable database of public health records. At a Baton Rouge press conference, DHH Secretary Bruce D. Greenstein said the site has two goals: food safety and holding “restaurants and other retail food establishments accountable. It’s to keep DHH accountable” as well, he added. Website users can enter a parish, town, ZIP code or name of a restaurant and get the state sanitarians’ most recent reports. “We have sanitarians who work in every parish, every day around the state,” Greenstein said. The site lists some 32,000 licensed food dispensaries, from restaurants, bars and markets to “a service station that’s serving boudin balls and fried chicken, or sno-ball stands,” Greenstein said. The site also highlights other food safety-related news, including recalls, announcements and tips on safe preparation of school lunches. While other states assign restaurants letter grades that must be posted onsite, the Louisiana database is purely “pass/ fail,” Greenstein said, adding, “Our track record in the state is very good.” A previous website, launched in 2005, was discontinued because “it wasn’t

really built with the right database,” Greenstein said. “This [information] has always been public record, but hasn’t always been easy for the public to acquire.” — Allman

NightMARE, PARt ii

Gambit > bestofneworleans.com > aUGUst 16 > 2011

Last week, the Jefferson Parish Council named Dr. Allison Barca the parish’s equine veterinarian for cruelty investigations pending on the West Bank. Barca, a veterinarian of 20 years who runs Barca & Associates veterinary clinic Uptown, provides health care to horses in cruelty and neglect cases handled by the Jefferson Parish Animal Shelter. The parish has taken on dozens of horse cruelty cases on the West Bank since July 2010, when outgoing cruelty investigator Kim Staton led investigations into West Bank stables, barns and other places where horses are kept (see Gambit’s cover story, “NightMARE,” Aug. 2). Earlier this year, Parish President John Young and the council asked the animal shelter and code enforcement staff to conduct barn sweeps. This year’s sweeps on the West Bank inspected more than a dozen barns and yielded several code violations (unsanitary conditions, lack of shelter). One January sweep resulted in the closure of a rental stable in poor condition, according to Young’s Chief Administrative Officer Loren Marino. Staton has worked with the parish since 2009 on a contract basis through the ASPCA and acted as consultant for sanitation and disease prevention issues. Last year she helped the parish animal shelter begin its horse investigations, which led to the seizure of a dozen horses and two foals. She finishes her contract this week. Of six horses recently placed under parish care, five have been adopted; the sixth died of colic. Meryll Bergeron, who already owns two rescued horses, adopted one of the animals, an Arabian mare. Bergeron thanked Young and Council Chairman Chris Roberts for their roles in the barn sweeps. The council also agreed to conduct monthly code enforcement sweeps (beyond West Bank barns), specifically as a response to blighted and neglected property complaints. But how to handle frequent violators who won’t bow to code? Parish Attorney Deborah Foshee said the recent jump in bankruptcies and foreclosures has increased the parish’s blight problem, and District 4 Councilman Louis Congemi said some property owners “taunt” the parish by avoiding court hearings. The parish will announce “general” sweep locations, but won’t get too specific. — Alex Woodward

occurred,” according to the EAB’s website. But a recent court ruling in Baton Rouge threw into dispute which body — the ethics board or the EAB — has the power to enforce campaign finance fines that have gone unpaid. The Baton Rouge Advocate reported recently that the EAB declined more than a dozen hearings for campaign finance cases, citing a lack of jurisdiction. The EAB, according to the report, believes that unless a fine is appealed, it’s not EAB’s problem. According to Allen, the ethics board soon will seek a declaratory judgment in district court in Baton Rouge hoping to settle the matter. “Where we are right now is, if there’s not payment, who’s conducting the initial hearings to obtain those judgments?” she says. “That’s what will be pursued, to get that question answered.” In the meantime, collecting fines for campaign finance violations in Louisiana has come to a screeching halt. Even the board’s 2006 deal giving the attorney general’s office a 25 percent cut on collections is yielding mixed results. For example, Al Donovan Jr. of River Ridge, a Democrat and one-time executive counsel to former Gov. Edwin Edwards, has

yet to pay a dime on the $42,000 in fines he owes for several late filings in connection with a 2003 race for secretary of state. The same holds for Shreveport attorney JoAnn Gines, who accrued more than $23,000 in fines for a failed district judgeship bid in 1994. Former Orleans Parish School Board member Jimmy Fahrenholtz, who racked up $45,440 in fines for failing to file or for filing late in races in 2000 and 2004, has entered into a payment plan with the board to resolve his debt. To date, according to the board’s website, Fahrenholtz has paid about $15,500, leaving him with a nearly $30,000 balance. In 2008, Fahrenholtz was disqualified from running against then-incumbent Congressman Bill Jefferson because he failed to indicate on his qualifying papers he had an outstanding debt with the ethics board. Fahrenholtz challenged the disqualification, but ultimately remained off the ballot. According to Gannett’s recent analysis, in the five years since the AG’s office has served as a collection agency for ethics fines, nearly 130 cases involving more than $520,000 in fines have been processed. Almost half that amount — about

$242,000 — has been collected, and 49 of the 130 cases have been paid in full. Most individuals on the ethics board’s list of outstanding fines are losing candidates. Some of them face fines that exceed the amount they spent on their failed campaigns. Short of some tough measures — and a resolution to the squabble between the board and the EAB — many who owe fines no doubt see little value in shelling out big bucks for their brief but vain twirls in the political arena. It’s a different story for those currently in office, however, and for those who plan to seek elective office. For them, the ethics board has a new tool at its disposal. Earlier this summer, Jindal signed into law a bill that requires candidates to have paid their ethics fines in full before they can qualify to run for office. Previously, a candidate could enter into a payment plan with the board and then qualify. But, as Allen told a House committee, many who owed fines simply entered into a payment plan in order to qualify — and then walked away after losing the election. Shreveport demographer Elliott Stonecipher, a loud and frequent critic of the governor’s “gold standard,” calls

it a “deliberate wrecking of ethics law enforcement” and a “gimmick” designed to burnish Jindal’s image during “the thenunderway hustle for the Republican Party’s 2008 presidential campaign ticket.” Stonecipher often pens detailed emails criticizing Jindal’s plan. Recently, he wrote: “Notably, several of the ‘legislative leaders’ on board to eviscerate ethics enforcement had serious ethics violation cases against them which were under investigation at that time, but any public mention of that fact was illegal under state law. Literally, these ‘leaders’ were writing and passing laws which would specifically protect them when their cases reached any such point of need. “All of the worst predictions have now come to pass. Our ethics administration has, effectively, ceased functioning. Louisiana is now in a far worse position to police ethics laws than at any time since their 1960s origin. Such is Jindal’s legacy, whether he rushes off to some new job tomorrow, or hangs around for another term as governor.” Walter Pierce is the managing editor of the Independent Weekly in Lafayette, where a version of this story first appeared.

Pay Raise Showdown hree years ago, Louisiana voters were hopping mad at state legislators who voted to more than double their annual pay. Some voters organized recall petitions. Bloggers and radio talk shows pressured Gov. Bobby Jindal into vetoing the bill, and many vowed never to forgive those who voted for the immediate pay hike. As recently as last April, a statewide survey by Southern Media and Opinion Research (SMOR) found more than 86 percent of voters saying they would be “less likely” to vote to re-elect lawmakers who voted for the raise. Such sentiments suggest that anyone who voted for the raise is a sitting duck. Yet, surprisingly, all is quiet on most fronts with less than four weeks to go before qualifying. In one local contest, however, the pay raise will be the dominant issue. House District 94, which now includes all of Lakeview and much of Metairie’s lakefront area, has two Republican incumbents facing off in what promises to be a bloody fight. One of them voted for the

raise and the other voted against it. The lines between them could not be more clearly drawn. Rep. John LaBruzzo of Metairie, whose district was carved up and moved to another parish, is running against fellow Rep. Nick Lorusso of Lakeview. LaBruzzo voted for the pay hike in 2008 — and signed an affidavit saying he would accept the raise once the hated Stelly tax was repealed. Lorusso voted against the raise and signed a declaration refusing to accept it. Soon after the controversial raise passed, some of LaBruzzo’s constituents announced a recall drive against him. That sent him running for cover. After being one of the most vocal supporters of the raise, he penned a letter to Jindal begging him to veto it. “It has become obvious to me that we, the Legislature, grossly misjudged the issue of legislative pay during this past session,” LaBruzzo wrote. No doubt LaBruzzo, who peppered Lakeview with signs soon after new district lines were drawn, will want to take voters’ minds off the pay raise by drawing other distinctions between himself and

Center of the Action here’s always something fun or interesting going on at the New Orleans Jewish Community Center (JCC) (5342 St. Charles Ave., 897-0143; GoldringWoldenberg Jewish Community Center, 3747 W. Esplanade Ave., Metairie, 887-5158; www.nojcc.org), whether you’re interested in cooking classes for youngsters or activities for senior citizens with Alzheimer’s disease. Activities and classes, as well as membership, are open to everyone, regardless of religion. “We truly are trying to be a community center,” says J.J. Korman, marketing director at the Uptown JCC. “We are a Jewish community center, so we value Jewish culture, Jewish traditions and Jewish thought, and we try to bring some of that information into our programming. But we are part of New Orleans and we want to be there for our entire community, whether they are Jewish or not. We want everyone to be comfortable and valued here.” The Uptown center’s three main areas of focus are its nursery school, summer camp and state-of-theart Goldring Fitness Center. The 5,600-square-foot fitness center offers a weight room, cardiovascular workout space, top-of-the-line exercise equipment, an indoor cycling studio, outdoor pool, racquetball court, batting cage, gym, personal training studio and group workout room. Members can choose from 50 exercise classes a month, including Zumba, spinning, kickboxing, Pilates and more. The Kohlmann Health Spa offers massages, waxing, manicures and pedicures, a steam room, sauna and Jacuzzi.

There are swimming pools (open from May through September) at both the Uptown and Metairie locations, and the Metairie JCC’s fitness center has a range of offerings for men and women (check the website for details).

Goldring Fitness Center. A variety of classes PHOTO COURTESY JCC aimed at different age groups are offered, covering subjects including exercise, movies, music, cooking, ballroom dancing, the art of massage, ballet and more. Some programs — those planned for Jewish holidays and celebrations — are designed to introduce Jewish traditions to people of other religions, she says. Ultimately, Korman says, the goal of exposing non-Jews to Judaism and vice versa is to help the different groups focus on their commonalities instead of their differences. “We are a Jewish community center, but the majority of our members are not Jewish,” Korman says. “We try to serve all the different ages and interests in our community.”

Drew Brees is still one of the Best, if not the best, quarterbacks in the league. By now we’re used to the Saints possessing a franchise quarterback on whom fans can count to be reliably good-to-spectacular from week to week. Sure, last season saw Brees regress slightly with poor performances against the lowly Cleveland Browns and Arizona Cardinals, but the Saints quarterback continued to be one of the game’s most accurate passers and game managers. Setting aside Brees’ unquestioned talent as a signal caller, what’s truly remarkable is how his stature has grown off the field. Brees was one of the lead plaintiffs in the players’ lawsuit against the NFL during the labor dispute, becoming a target of scorn by NFL owners and retired players who felt Brees and current players weren’t looking out for their pensions. But instead of becoming a pariah, Brees’ likely increased his stature with his team and throughout the league. The Saints had one of the most widely attended player-only practices — led by Brees — and when rumors emerged that Brees was holding up a deal for his own self-interest, he swatted them down almost immediately. It’s no surprise that when Brees hinted at a political career last year, fans wondered if he’d be New Orleans’ first mayor-for-life. page 26

the SaintS SigneD olin kreutz. The Saints’ signing of Kreutz may have been the savviest move by general manager Mickey Loomis during free agency. Not only did he shore up a hole that appeared when Jonathan Goodwin left for the San Francisco 49ers, it also gives the Saints a veteran Pro Bowl center to show the ropes to secondyear backup Matt Tennant. While losing Goodwin could have threatened the line’s dynamic and chemistry, Kreutz will be a more than adequate replacement. Kreutz, who turned down bigger offers from other teams so he could play for New Orleans, said he has the best job in the NFL because he considers Jahri Evans and Carl Nicks the best guards in the league. This is an offensive line that has given up fewer than 50 sacks in the past two seasons and likely will ensure Brees will continue to be a leader in completion percentages, passing yards and touchdowns.

Darren SproleS iS a lot like reggie BuSh, only cheaper. The signing of Sproles may have been the most exciting move the Saints made this offseason, if only for the fact he’s replacing an overpaid Reggie Bush while maintaining comparable stats. Sproles, though, is not as exceptional a kick returner as many would have fans believe. Last year, he was in the middle of the pack for NFL kickoff returns, and his combined four career touchdowns on punts and kickoffs doesn’t jump off the stats sheet. Saints coach Sean Payton, however, covets Sproles’ “exceptional acceleration” and knows Sproles’ true value is his ability to line up at running back and wide receiver, as well as on special teams. Sproles averaged 5.6 yards per carry last season as a utility back for the San Diego Chargers and has wowed teammates in training camp. Because he can change the pace of a game and keep opposing teams’ defenses on their heels — while costing the Saints about $2 million less than Bush — he’s sure to become a fan favorite. By the way, the Saints also drafted a Heisman Trophy-winning running back, just for good measure. When the Saints scored the steal

of this year’s draft by landing Mark Ingram with the 28th overall pick, Bush responded with a tweet saying “It’s been fun New Orleans.” Even Bush, also a Heisman winner, understood that in NFL backfields, there’s usually room for just one Heisman Trophy winner. At the same time, the Saints are now spoiled for choice in their running game with Ingram, Sproles, incumbent Pierre Thomas and last year’s breakout star Chris Ivory all competing for touches. For a running game that has long been something of a liability — not a surprise when about 60 percent of Payton’s play calls are passes — this is a welcome change. Ingram is an excellent pass-catcher and at 215 pounds, he has a natural ability to break tackles — an ability he showcased to much fanfare when he pulverized Roman Harper on a touchdown run last week in camp. When healthy, Thomas is one of the most consistent backs in the league (he’s averaged close to 5 yards per carry his whole career). And while Ingram has his share of critics, you can bet the former University of Alabama standout will be eager to prove that the 27 teams that passed on him during the draft made a terrible mistake. page 28

eams competing in the 48 Hour Film Project can’t do any creative work before the event begins. They can scout locations, collect licensed music and organize their process. Some teams have prepared by making a short practice film, but the crucial element is picked out of a hat just before the clock starts running: genre. “We wanted to do horror,” says Dawn Spatz, whose film Pygmy Park won three awards in New Orleans’ 2010 competition. “We pulled mockumentary. That had never been on our minds.” The 2011 festival began Friday Aug. 12, when nearly 40 teams drew genres from options like sci-fi, superhero, dark comedy, romance and detective/cop film. Competition organizers also provide a character, a line of dialogue and a prop that all teams must incorporate, regardless of genre. Teams then have 48 hours to write a script, shoot and edit a seven-minute film. All completed films will be screened Saturday at NOCCA’s Lupin Hall. Award-winners will be announced the following week. Now 10 years old, the festival has more than 90 participating cities worldwide. Winners from each American city are screened at Filmapalooza, which will be at Taos, N.M., in March 2012 for 2011 films. The top finalists from around the world are then screened at the Cannes International Film Festival. The competition is open to everyone from amateurs to professionals. Last year’s global winner, The Girl is Mime was shot

in London and starred Martin Freeman from the British version of The Office. There are very few constraints beyond the time limit, and last year one team shot its video with an iPhone. New Orleans participants have included student teams from UNO’s graduate and undergraduate film studies programs, film professionals on location in Louisiana, amateurs and teams that travel to compete in 48-hour festivals in different cities. Most teams try to write a five- to six-page script on Friday night, use Saturday to shoot and then edit the film on Sunday, all on little or no sleep once the competition begins. Spatz’s 2010 team of a dozen UNO students secured permission to shoot at Belle Terre Country Club and improvised some shoots as they sped around on golf carts looking in sandtraps for footprints of pygmies that supposedly inhabited the course. Jason Waggenspack and his team, Trophy Whores, shot some of their award-winning Trust Bob on a studio green screen. A fan of the Red Dress Run, which was happening the weekend of the competition, he incorporated it into a film in which some bumbling criminals take a hostile CEO hostage and put up with her abuse. Waggenspack is a professional and his Neutral Ground Films produces commercials, TV spots and documentaries. Reed Daigle is another film industry professional who competed last year. His team drew horror as a genre, and the repeated effects of a frantic run up spiral stairs in Crazy Stairs showed the polished camerawork that helped it win best film honors. He’s not competing this year, because he’s working on the set of G.I. Joe 2. But he has some advice for participants. “Be prepared,” he says. “Get to know your team and the actors. And edit as you shoot.”

Within writing classes disguised as music classes, Michael Patrick Welch’s public school hip-hop seminars accidentally captured some of the most hilarious — and dextrous — New Orleans raps of recent years. This inversion, a music class masquerading as karaoke, puts the adults on the mic to demonstrate Welch’s teaching methods, with the winner awarded a free bar tab. Hilarity is ensured; dexterity, less so. Free admission. 10 p.m. Thursday. Mimi’s in the Marigny, 2601 Royal St., 872-9868

Hands On Last September, on the day after his third album was released, Adam Arcuragi shared with Paste magazine a personal wish that has nothing and everything to do with his music: The troubadour, a Georgia native and Philadelphia transplant, had applied for a handyman position in his adopted third home, New York. “I’m really hoping (it) comes through,” Arcuragi said. “I like working with my hands and by myself, and that would afford me the opportunity to do both.” Recorded at a colleague’s home studio during a two-week sojourn in the Empire State, the affable, hardscrabble I Am Become Joy (High Two) provides him with a handful of high points, if not a moment of solitude. As many as a dozen contributors (from Philly friends The War on Drugs and B.C. Camplight among others) liven the LP with a chorus of horns, steel guitars, handclaps and church-saved backup vocals, turning Arcuragi’s lonely soul spirituals into a Sunday choir singalong. The front-loaded side A finds him self-baptizing in Okkervil River’s swooning rock (“Math”) and caught up in Richard Buckner’s swollen country undertow (“She Comes to Me”). Well-crafted and off-the-cuff, it’s both a spontaneous and workmanlike effort, measured twice and cut once. John Shark America opens. Tickets $7. — Noah Bonaparte Pais

Lasting Achievements

German artist Anselm Kiefer took over a closed silk factory in Barjac, France, both to create art and construct a massive complex to house and display it. It must be a fascinating place to visit. Kiefer creates huge canvases and sculptures, and some of his works occupy their own specially constructed buildings. He also tunneled under some structures to create his own catacombs, which are meant to be explored as part of his opus. Reportedly, it’s a very theatrical experience to tour his array of art and architecture, and it makes sense why filmmaker Sophie Fiennes set out to make the documentary Over Your Cities Grass Will Grow. It succeeds in tempting a viewer to consider a pilgrimage to the site, but as a film it feels too long. Kiefer and his assistants are diligent laborers who work with massive canvases and sculptures using heavy construction equipment including industrial cranes. They build square concrete huts they then stack in towers. They melt metals into liquids and cast them over piles of dirt to create sculptures with organically rendered surfaces. For art materials, they shatter large panes of glass and dinner plates with a robust energy for both destruction and construction. The best part of the film is a long interview in which a journalist talks to Kiefer about his ideas. Kiefer reveals a remarkably broad view of time and space, imagining his works stretching from the minuscule to the infinite, like single-cell organisms evolving over millions of years, or comparing boulders he places in his work to meteors hurtling though the vastness of the universe. He is fascinated by the lead plates on the top of the cathedral in Cologne, Germany, which over time have become heavier at the bottom, suggesting their solid form is a matter of temporal illusion. The reporter is very familiar with Kiefer’s work and ideas and not everything is explained to the camera, but it’s an illuminating conversation nonetheless. The rest of the film is mostly silent. The opening scenes slowly pan over Kiefer’s buildings, tunnels and work, and it is more than 17 minutes before a human being appears or a word is spoken. Fiennes’ approach makes sense as an effort to capture the entirety of the compound at Barjac, but at times, it also is like watching paint dry. One can admire her attempt to do justice to Kiefer’s work, but she could have been similarly successful in an hour. The film needs more of Kiefer’s voice, but even with its spare approach, it’s a intriguing look at the artist at work. Tickets $7 general admission, $6 students/seniors, $5 Zeitgeist members. — Will Coviello

Jumping to Conclusions

Writer/director Matthew Chapman would like to have the audience on the edge of its seat throughout The Ledge. Gavin (Charlie Hunnam) ascends to a rooftop in the opening minutes, but it’s pretty clear once police officer Hollis (Terrence Howard) shows up you’re going to hear the whole story before Gavin even peeks at the street below. Gavin works as a hotel manager and shares an apartment with a roommate who is gay. New neighbors Joe (Patrick Wilson) and Shana (Liv Tyler) move into their building and invite them to dinner. Joe is an overbearing evangelical Christian and, presuming his guests are a gay couple, he asks to say grace and launches into a judgmental prayer for their eternal souls and salvation. It’s not long before Gavin senses the loneliness Shana feels in her marriage, and he gets the perfect opportunity to reach out to her when she coincidentally starts working at the hotel he manages. The ample supply of empty beds is a great convenience. Back up on the rooftop, we learn Hollis also is having a crisis in his life, and the two plots both unfurl in flashback as it is slowly revealed why Gavin is prepared to end his life. Hunnam, Howard and Tyler all turn in decent performances, but unfortunately for Wilson, he has to play a monster. A wolf in sheep’s clothing, he has shed various vices and addictions and filled the void with a dogmatic embrace of Christianity. His marriage is hollow because he’s not so much in love with Shana as dedicated to the notion of saving her soul. Her life hasn’t been easy either, and it’s no wonder she finds Gavin more compassionate. Chapman’s film features an extended battle between Joe and Gavin as respective advocates for faith and secularism. The filmmaker has dubbed Gavin the first openly atheist lead in a major film, and he has promoted the film to take the faith debate public. Many of the arguments are encapsulated well and some are hindered by the limitations of Joe’s narrow and rigid views. Occasionally the two characters’ give and take helps to advance the plot, particularly when Joe’s attempts to demonstrate the purity of his faith shows how blind he is to Shana’s needs. At times, however, that debate becomes the tail that wags the dog, and ultimately the plot has a forced sense of conflict before anyone betrays their own creed. — Will Coviello

Dreaming Inside the Box

Many art aficionados, including those at the leading fantastic art website, www.phantasmaphile.com, compare Audra Kohout’s box assemblages to those of the great surrealist Joseph Cornell, while noting that hers are “more personal” or even “emotional.” I would add “visceral” and “protean” as well. Kohout seems to be a shapeshifter in the guise of a middleclass Mid-City mom, and her boxes, like the phone booth in Doctor Who, are vehicles for her travels to other worlds. Where Cornell was like a detached, eccentric bird man obsessed with ballerinas and symbolic objects in perfect equipoise, Kohout meanders between the sweet and the sardonic like a mythic Earth mother who knows that without the darkness there is no light and, try as we may, the two can never be sundered but only balanced. In other words, this is some pretty weird but elegant and eloquent stuff. In accordance with Carl Jung, her “other worlds” reflect inner worlds, and many of her doll-like figures hang from strings like puppets who assumed a wayward life of their own. In Titania, a fairy princess with long, shapely legs stands on a pedestal holding a big wand over a fallen male puppet. Is she trying to revive him, or did she smite him with it? Zeitgeist (pictured) features a pair of mythic nymphs; one rides a unicycle on a rail, the other has fallen or jumped off. Standing on her head, her doll legs are spread wide to reveal her genitals. Are they flirting or engaged in kabuki combat? Kohout’s flair for transmogrification is epitomized by Under the Linden Tree, where a pair of pixie dolls are performing an arcane ritual. Originally the title of a medieval German poem about a trysting place, Unter den Linden became the name of a Berlin boulevard lined with statues of generals in a startling example of how something originally identified with love eventually became associated with war. Kohout gives playfully eloquent form to humanity’s most complicated and ironic impulses. — D. Eric Bookhardt

StrippedDown Sound PHOTO BY ROBIN WALKER

The Noisician Coalition is known for at least two unique features: electronic music generated by instruments mounted with modified bullhorns and its red-andblack bohemian biker-gang/clown-posse look. The Noisicians will shed their signature garb at the Underpants Party and Fundraiser. The pants-optional event will raise money to build new instruments, repair old ones and promote battery recycling. Coalition members typically build their own instruments. Ashley Shabankereh plays a “Shabonkahonk,” a euphonium topped with a megaphone. “This is free-form music,” she says. “I’m happy to have a change from a classical form of music.” Members use everything from bullhorns and assorted electronic parts to trash cans, bottles and hubcaps. One member created “The Pacified Amplifier” — actually an amplified pacifier — for a baby girl. The fundraiser features performances by the Noisician Coalition, Kali, Natasha Fiore, Matt Thomas (The Human Blockhead) and ActionActionReaction. There is a “Pants Off Dance Off,” a silent auction and a raffle for prizes which include three-course meals cooked in the winner’s home, a cocktail party for 15 hosted by a professional mixologist, photographs and kung fu classes. Admission is $5 and includes your first raffle ticket. — Lora Ghawally

when she tasted it. They teamed up to start Maple Street Patisserie in 2010. You don’t need any deep-seated taste memories to appreciate their patisserie’s work. Take the bear claw, which has scant resemblance to the doughy sugar bomb more typically sold by the name. This one is not just about flavor but texture and form, too. Bite in and your teeth sink easily through layers of pastry, reaching an airy hollow lined with raspberry. Along the way, you get the crunch of sugar grains and warm, toasted almond slivers. This is pastry that works with your mouth rather than just filling it. Cichowski’s breads have been turning up in restaurants around town, and at lunchtime at Maple Street Patisserie they’re the building blocks for sandwiches. This is a rather small part of the business here, and though the simple chalkboard menu has just four options, you can mix things up by choosing your bread. I prefer the prosciutto sandwich on airy, crusty ciabatta, which soaks up a layer of bright, tangy pesto and holds in soft, plump wads of fresh mozzarella. Dense, chewy baguettes are my choice for a French-style sandwich of thin-sliced ham and thick planks of Brie. Pastry can get highly personal, too. Just watch the guy trying to choose from a platter of ostensibly identical blueberry muffins, like a kid picking his goldfish from the aquarium’s multitudes. For people attached to their baked goods, Maple Street Patisserie proves a great place to go fish.

Try traditional Moroccan dishes prepared in a kosher kitchen.

Upper Crust astries and bread evidently have a power beyond mere calories. At least that’s the impression I got while hanging around Maple Street Patisserie. Under some evocative, aromatic influence, customers often start gushing to the counter help about amber braids of challah bread from their youth, the mystifyingly light croissants from their Paris honeymoon or the cake they sampled on vacation in Greece and are desperate to find somewhere back home. Sometimes the trigger is what they find in the case or baskets at this Uptown bakery, where an impressively diverse range of European-style pastries is always offered. At other times, people implore the baker to sate some craving with a special order. They’ve come to the right place. The maestro here is master baker Ziggy Cichowski, a native of Poland whose multi-ethnic prowess in the baking arts owes something to Cold War geopolitics. Growing up in the then-communist country, he was allowed to work in Russia, Germany, France and elsewhere as a baker’s apprentice. Had he lived in a more open society, he says now, he might have elected to stay longer, perhaps permanently, in one these countries. But he was always required to return home to Poland, where he’d again apply to travel and work somewhere else. Over time, these trips amounted to a journeyman’s tour of European baking traditions. Later, his family emigrated to the U.S., and eventually he made it to New Orleans. He was bringing samples of his pastries to potential clients when he met Patricia Ann Donohue, a chef and New Jersey native who knew baking talent
