SEVEN THINGS TO DO IN SEVEN DAYS

Breaking the Banks

Gift of Gab

BY ALEX WOODWARD @ALEXWOODWARD

TUE. AUG. 16 | One half of West Coast hip-hop titans Blackalicious, mile-a-minute MC Timothy Parker battled kidney disease, he revealed in an acclaimed short documentary Gift of Gab, and got the band back together for 2015’s Imani Vol. 1. Landon Wordswell also is on the bill at 8 p.m. at Rare Form NOLA.

ON “MARCH 20, 2014,” ALFRED BANKS RECREATES A PHONE CALL WITH HIS MOTHER, unleashing an avalanche

of emotions and grappling with his brother’s schizophrenia and suicide. “Everything was going super smooth,” he raps in the song’s opening line, setting up the inevitable. “It felt like there was nothing I could lose.” “He was the guy I called whenever I had problems — from elementary, getting picked on in school,” Banks tells Gambit. “He missed my high school graduation, first time onstage, a lot of things. When he came back around, we picked up where we left off.” When his brother Orlandas returned to the family after nearly a decadelong absence, he helped Banks put together a home studio. “‘Merry last 10 Christmases,’” Banks says. “He always told me I was his favorite rapper.” The following tracks on Banks’ 2016 release A Beautiful Prelude EP — “A Beautiful Song,” on which he promises “I gotta keep rapping if not for me for him, so I keep a pen in case I need to vent,” and “Bless You” — address his brother directly as Banks thinks aloud, coping with his brother’s death and revisiting the things he missed and will miss. Weaving through his thoughts is a confused and compassionate voice coming to terms with his brother’s illness. This fall, Banks releases the full-length album The Beautiful, extending the story of his relationship with his brother while the album’s fictional Banks copes with his own mental illness. “I just wanted to break down this barrier,” Banks says. “In hip-hop, I think, there’s more of a bravado — and I have my songs, I talk my ish, in a sense — but I feel sometimes it’s OK to get personal. I don’t know when to cut it off. When I get personal I go all the way. I don’t hold any punches. … “A lot of people said the intro made them uncomfortable. And I was like, ‘Perfect.’ … Mental illness is an awkward conversation. With the little voice I have, I don’t want it to be awkward anymore.” Banks’ longtime collaborator CZA

AUG. 16-21 | The inaugural festival features artists in residence the Manhattan Chamber Players and three free concerts — 6 p.m. Thursday at Urban South Brewery, 7 p.m. Friday at Tulane University, 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Rayne Memorial United Methodist Church — in addition to its music outreach at area nursing homes, churches, hospitals and schools. Visit www. crescentcitychambermusicfestival. com for details.

Alice Cooper WED. AUG. 17 | On the heels of rerecording his 1972 single “Elected” — purportedly “John Lennon’s favorite song” — Alice Cooper gave his retort in this week’s Rolling Stone to anyone looking to him for political advice: “We’re rock stars; we’re dumber than you.” At 7 p.m. at Saenger Theatre. produced the EP — the pair met in high school when they noticed they wore the same pair of Kobe Bryant Nike shoes. As Banks learned to write and rap, CZA — armed with FL Studio software and a laptop — started making beats. “He has this unique sound, really big sound — I call it stadium music,” Banks says. “His music should be played at the Super Bowl, like on the last play.” Banks sat on one of CZA’s beats for more than a year following Orlandas’ death. “When I found out my brother passed, I didn’t really write. I kind of fell back for a while,” he says. “But when I heard that beat, I started writing. It started to flow.” Banks briefly attended Loyola University — but he didn’t have a place to live. After his mother’s eviction, “I put my stuff in storage and kind of roamed a little while,” he says. He bounced from friends’ dorms to nights in Audubon Park to a friend’s kitchen, where he stayed for several months and saved money to afford rent. “I was broke as hell, but it wasn’t really a sad thing,” he says. “It was just life at the moment.” He created a monthly hip-hop showcase on Tulane’s campus, rounding up then-budding rap stars like G-Eazy and Hugh Augustine and opening doors for rappers in

the making. “I just wanted to battle everybody,” Banks says. “I wanted everybody to know Alfred was the best rapper in the room.” Underdog Central — Banks’ social media handle, music umbrella, social movement and mantra — is “for anybody who worked really hard at what they do but still wasn’t appreciated, and they had to go to the Batcave and get everything together.” “That explains me in a nutshell,” he says. “This album is the one that’s going to make people say, ‘Who is Alfred Banks?’ … I’ve been doing this touring thing for a very long time. I’ve put the effort into this for a very long time. I’ve been doing this since I was 18. And one day it will matter.”

Lemuria WED. AUG. 17 | There’s something to be said for being unsung. Buffalo, New York, trio Lemuria sings it on third LP The Distance Is So Big, a heaping spoonful of sugar among Bridge 9 Records’ stable of hardcore fire-breathers. Looming and Name Calling open at Siberia.

Video Age album release SAT. AUG. 20 | New Orleans duo Ross Farbe and Ray Micarelli — worshipping Ray Davies though wornout tape-deck pop — tell dark confessionals and exiled, lovesick pop vignettes with wobbly guitars and sugary riffs on Living Alone (Inflated Records). Natural Blonde and Surveillance open at 9 p.m. at Siberia.

Boyfriend SAT. AUG. 20 | The boudoir cabaret performance artist and rapper — whose latest is the third entry in her Love Your Boyfriend series — performs her fourth annual birthday show, typically involving lots of cake and nightgowns. The free show is 10 p.m. at Tipitina’s.

I-10 News on the move 1. FOUNTAIN MEMORIAL SET FOR AUG. 17

New Orleans clarinet great Pete Fountain, who died Aug. 6 after a long illness, will be sent off in style Aug. 17 with a visitation and words of remembrance at St. Louis Cathedral from 9 a.m. until noon, when a Mass will be celebrated in his honor. Following Mass, a jazz funeral and second line for Fountain will roll through the streets of the French Quarter, ending at the Hotel Monteleone (214 Royal St.). For more on Fountain and his contributions to the city, see Commentary (p. 9).

2. Quote of the week “I’ve always called a spade a spade. People don’t like it — I’m not f—— running again and they can all kiss my goddamn ass. God bless you.” — Outgoing Baton Rouge Metro Councilman Ryan Heck, on the Baton Rouge-based comedy podcast The Red Shtick. Heck achieved brief notoriety in 2015 when his name appeared on a hacked list of Ashley Madison clients (Ashley Madison is a website for married people looking to have affairs). Heck responded to that controversy on Twitter: “Dumb thing: went to Ashley Madison as a joke 5 years ago. Smart thing: Never went back. #sleepingoncouchtonight #smokinghotwife.” Punctuating his point, he included an image of Homer Simpson saying “D’oh.”

City Planning Commission: Short-term renting of entire homes should be illegal The New Orleans City Planning Commission (CPC) says renting out entire homes in residential neighborhoods on websites such as Airbnb should remain illegal. On Aug. 9, following five hours of public comment, the CPC voted 9-0 to remove “principal” rentals — whole homes in areas zoned residential — from among four types of

legislation for the New Orleans City Planning Commission and the New Orleans City Council. The original Master Plan (aka “The Plan for the 21st Century”) was adopted in 2010 by the City Council and amended in 2012. An amendment application process is required every five years. Visit www. nola.gov/city-planning/mpamendments for details and an amendment form.

short-term rentals in its staff recommendations. Those recommendations outline a framework for legalizing short-term rentals in New Orleans. They now head to the New Orleans City Council for final debate and approval. The CPC voted 8-1, however, on sending its amended recommendations to the City Council — Commissioner Nolan Marshall III, the CPC’s biggest short-term rental critic, was the sole nay vote. “I don’t believe in a short 10 years after a disaster we can ‘disrupt’ our housing industry,” Marshall said, adding that companies and renters were bragging about exploiting an illegal industry and “profiteering” from “an illegal business model” — one that turns residential areas and their residents into tourist attractions. “I don’t think I should be an attraction,” he said. “I don’t believe in it and I can’t support it.” With “principal” rentals off the plate, the remaining types of rentals include “accessory” or owner-occupied homes renting out spare rooms; “temporary” homes rented for no more than 30 days a year; and “commercial” vacation homes in commercially zoned corridors. Those “commercial” zones, including whole swaths of the CBD and French Quarter, are not subject to restrictions on short-term rentals. The City Council will have the final say on the issue.

Brown: I’m not resigning After state Sen. Troy Brown, D-Napoleonville, was arrested on domestic violence charges for the second time in less than a year, Gov. John Bel Edwards — as well as Brown’s legislative colleagues Sen. J.P. Morrell and Rep. Helena Moreno, both New Orleans Democrats — urged Brown to step down. As of press time, Brown said he had no plans to step down, despite having all his committee assignments stripped by state Sen. President John Alario, R-Westwego. One influential Democrat was publicly ambivalent about Brown’s future. State Sen. Karen Carter Peterson, head of the state Democratic party, issued a five-paragraph statement that ultimately neither supported Brown nor called for his resignation. “I will certainly keep all involved in prayer as these matters hopefully move toward final resolution,” Peterson concluded.

Master Plan input due this month New Orleans residents have until Aug. 31 to submit proposals for amendments to the city’s Master Plan, the quasi-governing document guiding development and

As the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) begins to open thousands of records from its online database to the public, it will end its COMSTAT meetings. Those meetings — weekly, open-to-the-public, department-wide discussions among police about crime trends in each district — will be phased out as NOPD replaces them with “multiple high-level internal reviews on a monthly basis,” according to a release from NOPD. COMSTAT, which began in the 1990s and was opened to the public in 2010, will be replaced with “Management Analytics for eXcellence,” or MAX, with an expected launch date of Oct. 1. That data also will be available to the public and will include updates on compliance with the court-ordered consent decree with the U.S. Department of Justice, among other internal reviews. NOPD is among 21 police departments in the U.S. participating in the White House’s Police Data Initiative. NOPD data is available at www.nola. gov/nopd/policing-data.

7. Levees.org plans Katrina memorial

Levees.org plans to open a Hurricane Katrina landmark in a Gentilly home near the London Avenue Outfall Canal levee breach. In September, the City Planning Commission (CPC) will decide whether to approve plans for the home on Warrington Drive, after which the New Orleans City Council must give final approval. Levees.org director Sandy Rosenthal explained to the CPC that the organization plans to preserve the home, which had several feet of flooding following the 2005 levee failures, and render it as a piece of public art (as opposed to a museum inside the home), reflecting on the devastation. The inside

would not be open to the public. Louisiana Landmarks Society Director Carol Gniady also supported the plans.

8. Farewell, Jo ‘Cool’ Davis

Gospel musician Jo “Cool” Davis died Aug. 5 at 63. Davis was a mainstay of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival’s Gospel Tent and a familiar face at Tipitina’s, where he was the doorman for decades. As Gambit went to press, a public visitation and burial for Davis was set for Aug. 13.

Cade won’t challenge court finding that ousts her from OPSB race Orleans Parish School Board (OPSB) Representative Cynthia Cade, who represents District 2, was officially disqualified from seeking another term last week. Cade, who has served on the OPSB since 2004, did not appeal a finding by U.S. Civil District Court Judge Kern Reese that she had not filed tax returns in several of the last few years as required by state law. Under another section of state law, that is grounds for disqualifying a political candidate. In a letter to supporters, Cade wrote, “Unfortunately, the joint filing process — permitted when using a professional [tax-preparing] program — apparently worked perfectly in 2011, but not in the years 2012-2015.” Cade’s sole challenger, Ethan Ashley, is unopposed on the Nov. 8 ballot — making a majority of the seven OPSB races settled before the first ballot is cast.

10. Big Easy Roller Girls end the season

New Orleans’ all-women roller derby league closes its 2016 season on Aug. 20. The Big Easy Roller Girls’ Second Line takes on the Cajun Rollergirls, and the Big Easy Roller Girls AllStars also compete against members of the men’s league the New Orleans Brass.

FOLLOWING ITS 2013 REPORT SHOWING MORE THAN $11 MILLION THE CITY FAILED TO COLLECT

from residents for garbage collection in 2010 and 2011, the Office of the New Orleans Inspector General (IG) found that the city left another $7 million uncollected in 2014 alone. “If the 2014 uncollected sanitation fees are an indication of uncollected sanitation fees in 2012 and 2013,” the IG’s August report reads, “then the City potentially lost in excess of $20 [million] from 2012 through 2014.” The city also did not turn off water service to those who owed money to the Sewerage & Water Board (S&WB), which bundles garbage collection fees into water bills but does not handle garbage pickup. Before the S&WB can terminate service, the S&WB “intends to revise how it applies customer payments to water, sewer and sanitation charges,” according to the report. “Instead of first applying payments to water and sewer charges, the S&WB will apply customer payments to water, sewer and sanitation charges proportionally. If a customer remits a partial payment, all unpaid water, sewer, and sanitation charges will become past due simultaneously.” The report also notes that S&WB only applies a 15 percent delinquency fee to a customer’s current balance, not their total balance, which could include delinquent fees. The report says that policy “may reduce the customers’ incentive to pay their bill in a timely manner.” — ALEX WOODWARD

COMMENTARY

Even more than music, Pete Fountain’s gift to the world was New Orleans’ sense of fun, celebration and joie de vivre. PETE FOUNTAIN, WHO DIED AUG. 6 AT 86, WASN’T JUST A NEW ORLEANS MUSICIAN. He was one of

the city’s greatest cultural ambassadors of the 20th century, in a league with Louis Armstrong and Paul Prudhomme. There will never be another quite like him. Fountain began playing clarinet as a child after a doctor told his parents the exercise might build up their son’s weak lungs. He attended McDonogh 28 and Warren Easton High School and was playing in Bourbon Street nightclubs by the time he was a teenager. His personality and good-time approach to jazz earned him a spot on The Lawrence Welk Show, where he first was introduced to national audiences in the 1950s. After he left the show (his playfulness didn’t always mesh with Welk’s muted style), Fountain went on to open several Bourbon Street music clubs that bore his name. He became a semi-regular on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, where he frequently sat in with the Doc Severinsen Orchestra, clocking dozens of appearances in the 1960s and ’70s. Each time, he brought his joyful version of Dixieland to America and showed how popular — and accessible — the art form of jazz could be. As times and tastes changed, Fountain moved into his own eponymous lounge at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside, where he entertained and brought in guest stars until 2003. His semi-retirement on the Mississippi Gulf Coast was ended in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina destroyed his home there. He spent his last years in New Orleans. His final public appearance was at the 2013 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. A look back at newspaper archives shows Fountain playing at dozens of benefits, many of which raised money for local groups and schools.

P H OTO B Y C H E R Y L G E R B E R

Even more than music, Pete Fountain’s gift to the world was New Orleans’ sense of fun, celebration and joie de vivre. At no time was this more evident than Fat Tuesday, when he and friends would gather in the Garden District for an early breakfast, then walk to the French Quarter while playing instruments, having a few drinks and greeting the public. As marching krewes became more numerous and elaborate in the 1990s, Fountain’s “Half-Fast Walking Club” kept doing what it always did: costuming modestly and plunging into the spirit of the day with Pete in the lead. This Wednesday, Aug. 17, New Orleans will say goodbye to Fountain in the style befitting a true ambassador. A visitation at St. Louis Cathedral (where Fountain played for Pope John Paul II during the pope’s 1987 visit to New Orleans) will run from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., followed by words of remembrance. A Mass will be celebrated from noon to 1 p.m. After that — what else? — a jazz funeral and second line through the French Quarter. All of New Orleans will be there in spirit. — WYES-TV will air its 1980 Fountain documentary, Pete!, three times this week, at 7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 15, 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 20 and 7 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 21.

Brown needs to go AS A LAWYER AND A CITIZEN, I FIRMLY BELIEVE IN THE NOTION THAT SOMEONE CHARGED WITH A CRIME IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVED GUILTY IN A COURT OF LAW.

That’s one of the foundation stones of the rule of law. There’s another rule, however, when it comes to the court of public opinion: Those who make our laws are held to higher standards of conduct than those they govern. Which brings us to state Sen. Troy Brown, a Democrat from (cough, cough) Napoleonville. At least, that’s Brown’s official story. In truth, Brown does not reside in the Senate district he represents. Instead, he lives with his wife in a posh home at 36518 S. Francine Circle, in Geismar, outside his district. When he qualified to represent Senate District 2 in 2011 and again in 2015, Brown listed his domicile as a plain

duplex that he owns at 5806 Highway 308, in Napoleonville, which is in the district. People who know Brown — including his wife — say he lives at his Geismar estate. He gave that as his address when he was arrested Nov. 28, 2015 in New Orleans on a charge of misdemeanor domestic abuse battery. Police said Brown allegedly punched a woman (who identified herself as his girlfriend of more than 10 years) in the eye. Brown’s Geismar home also is where he was physically arrested — again — for domestic abuse battery on July 17. This time the victim was his wife Toni, who told police he bit her after an argument. Toni Brown, coincidentally, is registered to vote at the Geismar residence. Troy Brown is registered in neighboring Assumption Parish. Brown’s legal troubles raise two thorny issues — his

domicile, to which he swore under oath when qualifying for office, and two charges of domestic abuse in less than eight months. In a court of law, Brown is presumed innocent until proved guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. In the court of public opinion, he gets no such presumption — not after fudging on his domicile (which is not the same, legal-

ly, as a residence, but voters are entitled to be represented by someone who actually lives where they live) — and not after a second accusation of domestic violence in such a short period of time. One arrest is troubling; two is a pattern — especially with different victims in different jurisdictions. After Brown’s first arrest, Senate President John Alario

stripped Brown of his key committee assignments. Now, other elected officials are calling for Brown to resign. They include Gov. John Bel Edwards, state Sen. J.P. Morrell and state Rep. Helena Moreno — all Democrats and all staunch proponents of Louisiana’s tougher domestic violence standards. Brown refuses to do the honorable thing, but the chorus against him is likely to grow louder. If he doesn’t resign — and he should — the Senate should expel him for living outside his district. That may be the political equivalent of nailing Al Capone on tax evasion, but if that’s what it takes to get Brown out of the Senate, justice will have been served.

Dear Christel, The German Protestant Orphan Asylum was established by a group of Lutheran ministers in the late 1800s to care for German orphans. It was one of three such facilities established in the city to care for children who lost their parents to epidemic or the Civil War. Though its physical address was 920 State St., the facility consisted of several buildings on property bounded by State, Camp, Chestnut and Webster streets. According to John F. Nau’s book The German People of New Orleans, Pastor Ludwig Heintz helped form a group to run the home and purchase the State Street property for the sum of $18,000. According to Nau, the

facility was dedicated on June 2, 1867. An 1878 article in The TimesPicayune mentioned 49 boys and 41 girls living there at that time, ranging from infants to teenagers. According to The Historic New Orleans Collection, which now houses records from the asylum, the facility was run on a volunteer basis by a board of directors. Financial support came from donations and fundraisers organized by a Ladies’ Aid Society. One of the biggest was the annual “Volksfest” which was held on both the orphanage grounds and at Southern Park near Bayou St.

John. A 1915 mention of the festival said its hasenpfeffer (rabbit stew), potato salad and imported frankfurters “sold with remarkable rapidity.” By the 1960s, the facility had changed its name to the State Street Children’s Home, and the orphanage closed in the late 1970s. The land was sold and divided into residential lots. Proceeds from the sale were invested and used to create the GPOA Foundation, which continues to support local children’s programs. Only one structure from the original complex survives: a building at 919 Webster St., which was built as a stable in 1881 and redeveloped into a private residence.

In 1991, he joined WWL-AM, where his colorful on-air style and frequent malapropisms were mixed with calls from nutty Saints fans, which he nicknamed “squirrels.” For years, Diliberto promised to wear a dress if the Saints ever made it to the Super Bowl. Though he died in January 2005, his fans wore dresses to parade through the streets in his honor when the Saints succeeded in 2010.

Behind the

numbers BY JEFF ASHER |

@CRIMEALYTICS

July was a terrible month for violent crime in New Orleans. With nearly 50 shooting incidents and more than 25 murders, it was one of the worst months for gun violence since Hurricane Katrina and the federal floods. August hasn’t started much better, with 13 shootings and four murders in the month’s first week. Nevertheless, there are definite signs of improvement. As of mid-July, New Orleans was on pace for about 140 murders in 2016, which would be the fewest in a single year since 1970, though by month’s end the outlook for the year was up to 157 murders. New Orleans averaged 188 murders a year from 2007 to 2012, when NOLA for Life, Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s multifaceted murder reduction program, was implemented. There has been an average of 157 murders a year for the last three years. At the same time, overall crime has skyrocketed since 2010, as the New Orleans Police Department’s (NOPD) manpower plummeted. Uniform Crime Report Part I (the country’s official crime measure) showed crime in New Orleans jumped 32 percent between 2010 and 2014. Response times improved nearly 300 percent last year compared to 2010, but they’re still pretty bad. The longer response times also led to underreporting as victims and witnesses gave up on police and left crime scenes. Yet I feel optimistic about where we’re going in terms of crime reduction. It may take several years to reach fruition, but a foundation has been laid for significantly lower levels of crimes being fought by a police department that consistently respects constitutional rights and has strong organizational oversight. Here’s why:

15 ment ranks as a major reason to feel optimistic about the long-term potential of crime reduction in New Orleans. The city, NOPD and the Police and Justice Foundation have undertaken a multifaceted, professional campaign to “grow” NOPD, and progress over the past year and a half has been slow but steady. The goal of having 1,600 officers on staff by 2020 probably was overly optimistic even before voters rejected higher property taxes in an April election that would have funded a millage dedicated to police. The impact adding officers has on New Orleans crime is illustrated in four scatter plots on p. 16. These charts plot the change in NOPD officers in any given year (Y-axis) versus the change in the rate (per 100,000 residents) in overall crime, property crime, violent crime and robberies. (Note that 2005 and 2006 were removed due to data quality issues following Hurricane Katrina, thus 2007 represents the change in crimes and officers from 2004.) Since 1998, there has been a statistically significant inverse relationship between NOPD adding or losing officers and crime rates in the city. When NOPD grows, crime rates go down. When NOPD shrinks, crime rates go up. The relationship is strongest with violent crimes — robberies in particular — and is weaker with property crimes. Adding officers enables NOPD to patrol more efficiently, reduces response times and empowers officers to do proactive policing, which helps reduce crime. Staying the course on growing NOPD is the easiest path toward longterm crime reduction.

2. Open crime data can help create independent assessments of New Orleans crime trends. Everything we know about response times, we know because of open crime data. We can track gun violence trends because of Calls for Service and the Major Offense Log. Open data tells us whether the city’s official crime stats went up or down weeks before the city’s official numbers are released. Not only has NOPD employed body cameras and in-car cameras for its officers, but it also has put a large amount of the gathered metadata online for anyone to download. There’s a tremendous amount of data from the 2010 to April 2016 from NOPD’s field interview card (FIC) system, which is available online, and NOPD has several annual reports online that provide insight into some of the department’s most troubled areas. There’s an annual misconduct report, sexual assault report, use of force report and more. There also are data sets that aren’t available but could be useful, such as arrest data. When properly scrubbed of personal information, arrest data can help the public understand policing patterns. Baltimore does this and it’s quite useful. A homicide tracker like one put out by the Philadelphia Police Department also would be great to see, and many cities — like Chicago, which has its own troubled police force — produce weekly crime summaries of Uniform Crime Reporting data that are far timelier than NOPD’s quarterly summaries. Open data not only is transpar-

ent but also allows anyone to perform independent analysis of the statistics and shines a light on New Orleans’ crime patterns and the police department’s reaction to those patterns. The more data that’s available, the better the insight. Everyday citizens now can spot crime trends as they occur and can push civic institutions to improve.

3. Strong and independent oversight bodies are critical for developing a successful criminal justice system. The federal consent decree under which the NOPD is mandated by the U.S. Department of Justice to clean up misconduct and civil rights violations has onerous elements, and the department has a way to go before the consent decree is completed, but reports indicate progress is being made. The city’s Office of Inspector General has produced several reports analyzing policing problems and identifying waste that have led to real changes in the city’s behavior. The Independent Police Monitor’s office performs important oversight of NOPD’s complaint and disciplinary system, and the Metropolitan Crime Commission’s research program provides a critical high-level overview of changing patterns in the city’s criminal justice system.

and detractors, but from a data perspective, it appears the program has contributed significantly to the city’s drop in murder. That drop started in 2013 and has been sustained, to a degree, over the last two and a half years. The city employed what academic circles call a “focused deterrence” strategy, which operates on the idea that gun violence is heavily concentrated within communities. NOLA for Life’s Group Violence Reduction Strategy (GVRS) targeted gang members as individuals disproportionately involved in gun violence using indictments and call-ins (face-to-face meetings between police and criminals). The indictments took the most violent gang members off the streets and the call-ins delivered a directly targeted anti-violence message. The effect was clear in 2013, but initial results began to fade as the messaging was heard and the pace of indictments proved impossible to sustain. “There is a diminishing return. There has to be,” Nicholas Corsaro, author of a 2015 study of NOLA for Life’s impact, said in a recent article on the online news site FiveThirtyEight. “If you’ve got a small percentage of gang members that are driving your violence and you focus on them and they go away for whatever reason … then you’re going to hit a ceiling.” Gun violence in New Orleans from 2014 to today has been slightly less frequent, reflecting a city with less gang violence. But

the other factors that contribute to gun violence — drug trade, arguments, domestic violence, etc. — remain largely unchanged. FiveThirtyEight laid out a blueprint for how New Orleans can reduce gun violence even further and sustain that trend. Gun violence is heavily concentrated in certain areas of the city and goes beyond gang members. The key to sustained homicide reduction is developing effective social intervention programs in those areas to prevent people who are at high risk from becoming victims — or perpetrators. FiveThirtyEight highlighted the work of Andrew Papachristos in using social networking techniques to identify individuals at substantially higher risk than other people for involvement in gun violence: If police know who is most likely to shoot and be shot, theoretically they can develop social intervention programs that will help those individuals avoid gun violence. NOLA for Life has proved the city can effectively reduce murder in New Orleans through a combination of social programs and law enforcement intervention. Now it’s time to take it a step further. New Orleans can identify the concentration of individuals at high risk and develop social intervention programs to prevent that risk from becoming reality. The city should look at programs like Chicago’s Becoming a Man, Boston’s Roca, or New Orleans’ Youth Empowerment Project for ideas about what works. A citywide program that proactively targets those at high risk for gun violence would serve as an important crime fighting tool and could dramatically reduce gun violence citywide. It’s not easy, but it’s doable, and we know it works.

5. There’s work left to do. The long-term future of New Orleans crime may be trending in the right direction, but the present is a mixed bag. Murders are down from 2011 and 2012, but the murder rate is among the worst in the country. Take a look at how things have changed since 2010: Burglaries and gun violence are down but everything else is up. Increasing NOPD’s manpower is a long-term solution, but in the meantime the city needs to develop alternate ways to effectively deal with crime and violence. New Orleans should look to technological solutions to reduce the strain on NOPD and increase the department’s deterrent capabilities. A citywide license plate reader system could substantially deter potential armed robbers, carjackers and shooters by increasing the likelihood they will be caught. ShotSpotter is a gunshot detection technology the city dabbled with unsuccessfully years ago. In recent years, it has become more effective. Assistance from the Louisiana Legislature would help. NOPD has responded to nearly 30,000 traffic incidents and non-injury traffic accidents this year (through mid-July). That translates to roughly one in every 7.5 calls for service. Each incident takes about 40 minutes from the time an officer is dispatched to the time the task is completed, meaning NOPD has spent nearly 800 days (more than 19,000 hours) of manpower handling these types of non-emergencies. Requiring NOPD to respond to such incidents to avoid insurance headaches leads to increased response times citywide, which in turn leads to more incidents being marked as “unfounded” (UNF) or “gone on arrival” (GOA) by NOPD because those involved got tired of waiting and left the scene. Only 2.4 percent of traffic incidents and accidents were coded UNF or GOA in 2010, while 6 percent were in 2015. Sixteen percent of non-injury hit and runs were UNF or GOA in 2010 and more than 23 percent were in 2015. Reducing NOPD’s burden of responding to minor traffic accidents likely would greatly improve response times.

New Orleans will have a municipal election in 2017, and whomever is our next mayor should continue developing our present course. The short term may be bumpy with uneven advancement, but the foundation has been laid for a longterm reduction in crime. Growing NOPD is a must, and the city’s leadership in the open data movement and the presence of strong oversight bodies create an environment conducive to smarter criminal justice policy. Transparency improves the odds that good choices will follow. We know what works in reducing gun violence, so we need to invest the time, research and resources necessary to aggressively pursue that goal. A future New Orleans with historically low levels of crime and gun violence is achievable. It just may take some time.

During crawfish season it might be the scent of Zatarain’s boil and citrus. But no matter the time of year, one thing is always clear: At Tres Bon Cajun Meats, there’s no place you possibly could be but Louisiana. Owner William “Billy” Newton opened his River Ridge shop in February so his 73-year-old mother, Elaine Jeansonne, who hails from Avoyelles Parish, wouldn’t have to drive two hours to find cracklings and boudin links. Part country store, part meat market, the shelves at Tres Bon are lined with Louisiana products and the freezer aisles are packed with cornbread-stuffed chicken, smoked quail and bacon, hot links and various iterations of andouille and alligator sausage. “Elaineisms,” quirky sayings and pithy quotes from Newton’s mother (“if you hang with dogs you’re bound to get fleas”), decorate the walls. A small wine, liquor and craft beer selection rounds out the setting. It’s a place where you could just as easily pick up a bag of cracklings and hit the road as take a seat in one of the simple tables scattered throughout the store. The casual, no-frills setting belies the extraordinary quality of products that are stuffed, steamed, smoked and fried behind kitchen doors.

FORK CENTER

Peppery jambalaya arrives studded with spicy chunks of andouille sausage, while boudin links in taut, salt-flecked casings carry a nice snap and give way to a smooth rice and pork blend. Everything is made in house, including the meats Newton smokes out back over a mixture of pecan, cherry and apple woods. The brisket and pork don’t carry the heavier mesquite or oak flavor characteristic of some of their barbecue brethren, but instead let the natural flavors imbued by heat and smoke do the talking. The result is tender, mild-tasting meat that shreds effortlessly — the pulled pork, in particular, has a soft, almost milky quality. On one visit the chicken tasted like it spent too much time over the smoker; it was flavorful but dry. Newton isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel, but there are personal touches that stand out. Potato salad (Elaine’s recipe), for instance, is a creamy medley studded with black olives and crispy bacon bits, packing in equal parts brine and smoke, uplifting the classic picnic dish to new heights. Condiments also are a notch above the standard variety. There’s a creamy garlic mayonnaise (great with the tennis ball-sized boudin balls), briny whole grain country mustard and a jalapeno remoulade that packs a subtle heat — a perfect

match for the beef brisket. The house barbecue sauce (made with 20 ingredients from a recipe Newton refuses to divulge) is a delicious, red pepper-flecked elixir with an almost jelly-like viscosity, and is sweet, but not cloyingly so. Cajun egg rolls, which fall victim to heat lamp purgatory in some places, taste fresh and crispy, the thin shell flaking off to reveal a spicy mix of andouille sausage, boiled shrimp and cabbage interspersed with red peppers and carrots. It’s hard not to be tempted by the vacuum-sealed packs of homemade jerky that line the counter: The honey Sriracha bacon is the perfect sweet-savory treat, a mix of sweet, spicy and deeply smoky cured pork belly. But the best way to part with a meal here are the cracklings, puffy pieces of skin and fat that melt in your mouth and soak grease holes through the paper bag in your lap as you make the journey back home.

cressrestaurant.com) in DeLand, Florida. He’s also an associate professor of mathematics and computer science at Stetson University. On Aug. 19, Pulapaka is leading a session at the Farm to Table Experience in New Orleans about what he calls the “traceability index for food,” a model he is developing to assess how well a regional food system is connected to its food sources.

What is the current state of the farm-totable movement? PULAPAKA: In my view, the meaning in the hospitality industry and the food advocacy world means different things for different people. A lot of consumers think it’s all about local food. That’s a component … but that’s not necessarily what farm-to-table is about. People like labels like “organic,” “pesticide free,” and the unfortunate “all-natural,” which is definitely problematic because most things start out natural. To me, it means to some degree knowing where your food comes from and how it’s produced. Just because you know where something comes from doesn’t mean that it’s good for you. And to a lesser degree, just because you know something is well-raised doesn’t mean it’s going to provide a good carbon footprint. In the ideal world, it would be local food that’s grown really thoughtfully and consumed locally and minimally handled. That’s the (chef/ author) Alice Waters model. But in the practical world of massive food chains and distribution chains and food traveling huge distances to get places, I think the most we can ask for, at the very least, is that it be produced thoughtfully and processed minimally.

How have restaurants marketing farm-to-table mislabeled or abused the concept? P: There are chefs in some restaurants who are doing the best they can, and to say that some place really knows where every ingredient comes from is really unrealistic. No chefs know exactly where every ingredient comes from. Most chefs, like me, try to showcase the in-season ingredients that are growing locally because we have connections with our farmers and the land

that they take care of and so we try to celebrate our terroir by doing so. There are always restaurants who don’t necessarily believe in that, who are always worried about the bottom line and have a perception that because they have to buy something locally they’re going to end up paying more … yet, they will happily jump on the bandwagon and put labels on their menus that say “locally sourced.” There are two ways of misrepresentation here: You can just say “locally sourced” or you could actually name a farm. If you (falsely) name a farm … that’s a blatant disregard for somebody’s farm. ... You’re actually duping the customer and ... you’re compromising the farm and the farmer. By serving some commercial product … in the name of the artisan, you’re really just hurting the artisan.

How can the movement improve going forward? P: I am a firm believer of demand driving supply. I think consumers have more to say and can affect how things change for the better than the artisans and the chefs and the restaurants (can). The question is, really, how can we build a culture that recognizes that this matters? We can — through the education system, through the political system and through the industrial system. It’s systemic. Have you seen a debate question during this presidential election where the moderators have asked about food? I haven’t. So that’s one aspect. And of course, there are ways to use the machine of academia to inspire the youth of today and the leaders of tomorrow. Food studies programs are sprouting up at different institutions, and that’s one way to make things better. Food touches on every subject matter that there is. It touches on technology, it touches on nutrition, health, politics, economics. It’s just a part of so many things. — HELEN FREUND

AS NEW ORLEANS’ BEER SCENE CONTINUES TO GROW

— with three breweries, one nanobrewery, two brewpubs and an array of dedicated beer bars — one important measure of success is the number of tourists and visitors exploring the beer and the breweries in the city and state. FUHWE (a Caribbean phrase meaning “for us”) is an organization that offers two beer tour “experiences” in the Lower Garden District. Both were created and are led by local beer connoisseur James Reeves. Each two-hour experience costs $40 and doesn’t include food, drink or transportation. “The craft brewing scene in the New Orleans area has grown tremendously in recent years and is producing some excellent beer,” Reeves says. “As beer lovers and supporters of local homegrown businesses, we have a duty to highlight those accomplishments and help foster future growth.” The Hops and Honeysuckle in the Lower Garden District tour starts at Urban South Brewing on Tchoupitoulas Street for a tour and beer flight, moves to Courtyard Brewery for a pint, and ends

OF WINE THE WEEK

Hops and Cocktails in the Lower Garden District tour starts with a beer at Courtyard Brewery. P H OTO B Y NORA MCGUNNIGLE

at Avenue Pub. Hops and Cocktails in the Lower Garden District experience is similar, but also focuses on the city’s growing whiskey scene. It begins with beer at Courtyard Brewery, heads across Magazine Street to Barrel Proof, a whiskey-focused bar, and on to the Avenue Pub for beer and whiskey selections. To sign up for one of these tours (or one of many others not related to beer) go to FUHWE.com and create a profile.

2015 Hermann Moser Grüner Veltliner Karmeliterberg Kremstal, Austria Retail: $16-19

AUSTRIA HAS BEEN HOME TO SOME OF THE WORLD’S OLDEST WINE GRAPES, DATING BACK AS FAR AS 2000 B.C.

Gruner Veltliner is not exclusive to Austria, but it stars as the country’s signature grape and makes up more than 36 percent of planted vines. This Gruner was produced on the 300-year-old Hermann Moser estate in lower Austria, which has made wine since 1874. Hand harvested in mid-October last year, the juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks and bottled in early March. In the glass, the medium bodied, well-balanced wine offers complex aromas of citrus, melon, white pepper and spicy nuances. On the palate, flavors of pear, green apple, white peach, herbal notes, lime zest and quince mingle with a vibrant acidity leading to a satisfying finish. Very food-friendly, enjoy as an aperitif or with smoked salmon, oysters, schnitzel, sushi, roasted chicken, salads and Asian dishes. Buy it at: Grande Krewe Fine Wines & Spirits, Sidney’s Wine Cellar and Spirit Wine. Drink it at: Bayona, Pelican Club, Galatoire’s and Bouligny Tavern.

MUSIC

Lee “Scratch” Perry with Subatomic Sound System

LEE PERRY HAS OPERATED ON THE LUNATIC FRINGE FOR SO LONG, HIS DISTORTED REALITY HAS ITSELF TURNED OUT A DISTORTION. Bob Marley became the big tree while Perry stayed the small axe, but today, the 4-foot-11inch mage towers over a reggae field he alternately built and razed. “Scratch is • Aug. 17 kind of like Yoda,” offers Subatomic Sound System producer Emch, who serves as tour • Lee “Scratch” Perry with bandleader; to others, he’s “the Salvador Subatomic Sound System Dali of music” (Keith Richards) or simply • 9 p.m. Wednesday “Dr. Lee, Ph.D.” (The Beastie Boys). In a recent “outer-view” for the Great Big • Tipitina’s, 501 Napoleon Ave. Story documentary series, the Jamaican • 895-8477 E.T. and head Upsetter dubs himself “the grim reaper,” a split personality that • www.tipitinas.com captures both his bountiful musical legacy (spanning Sir Coxsone Dodd to Animal Collective) and the destructive means by which much of it came to pass (a second studio fire befell his Secret Laboratory in Switzerland last year, this one entirely unintentional). Yet here he is, the “child inside an 80-year-old’s body,” planning another creative jailbreak (Must Be Free, due on Megawave Records next month) and bringing his birthday tour and Super Ape 40th anniversary performance to Tipitina’s smokeless hot box. Prepare for a surefire bananas bonanza. Tickets $18. — NOAH BONAPARTE PAIS

REVIEW

THE RAGS-TO-RICHES STORY HAS BEEN A HOLLYWOOD MAINSTAY FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY, especially in regards to movies about performing artists. But • The Broad Theater, 636 N. finding success and realizing your dreams Broad St., (504) 218-1008; tend to be a bit more complicated for real-world performers. What about the www.thebroadtheater.com vast majority of talented and hard-working • Opens Aug. 19 artists who struggle mightily for recognition that never comes their way? That question provides the starting PHOTO COURTESY MAGNOLIA PICTURES point for writer-director Mike Birbiglia’s Don’t Think Twice. The story focuses on a close-knit, New York City-based improv comedy troupe that begins to unravel after losing their theater (a real estate mogul named Trump buys the building) and, more important, two members of the ensemble appear poised for bigger things. Birbiglia knows something about making it in New York’s rough-and-tumble comedy scene. His off-Broadway, one-man show Sleepwalk With Me was a major hit, spawning a best-selling book and an award-winning feature film (which Birbiglia also wrote and directed). Beautifully written and perfectly cast with accomplished veterans of improv and stand-up comedy, Don’t Think Twice offers a sweet and very funny meditation on failure, success and friendship. An improv troupe is the ideal vehicle for exploring those themes. Unlike stand-up, improv is about mutual support and developing a “group mind” as the players build on each other’s small, momentary successes. Making an insular world even more claustrophobic, there’s a narrow path to a wide audience for those doing improv, and it runs straight through Saturday Night Live. All it takes to disrupt the film’s improv troupe (tellingly called The Commune) is for two of its members, Jack (Keegan-Michael Key of Comedy Central’s Key and Peele) and Samantha (Gillian Jacobs), to score coveted auditions for a familiar TV show the film calls Weekend Live. Miles (Birbiglia), the troupe’s founder, auditioned for the show a decade ago and bitterly awaits a second shot. Though talented, Allison (Kate Micucci), Lindsay (Tami Sagher) and Bill (Chris Gethard) have personal issues that seem to limit their chances at moving up the ladder. Apart from Jacobs, all six primary cast members have real-world improv experience, and it shows in their spontaneous, often hilarious performances. (The cast performed together as The Commune at New York’s top improv venues to prepare for the film.) Cinematographer Joe Anderson takes us into the thick of the onstage action, alternating between audience and stage perspectives and capturing the intimate give-and-take required of successful group improv. It’s a peculiar task accurately described by the film as “trying to fly a plane while you build it.” Birbiglia suffers some small missteps as a first-time narrative filmmaker. The emotionally-too-specific music cues are an unnecessary distraction, pushing the film toward a Hollywood aesthetic that doesn’t really suit an otherwise homespun movie. But Birbiglia’s future as an A-list director seems assured. Don’t Think Twice may be about failure, but it’s also about finding success on your own terms. It spotlights the personal value of creating things even if the world may never know them on a grand scale. Anyone who plays in a band, participates in local theater or puts their neck on the chopping block doing live comedy knows what that is all about — and how much those things can enrich your life if you are meant to do them. — KEN KORMAN

Quantum Nous WHAT DOES THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER HAVE TO DO WITH QUANTUM PHYSICS?

That is a deep question. Neither is easy to fathom, but the easy answer has to be James Flynn. A former river pilot-turned-painter, Flynn’s years spent deciphering the Big Muddy’s inscrutable currents probably made it easier for him to relate to the physicists who spent decades investigating the elusive patterns of protons and particles on which quantum theory was based. In his paintings, the vortexes at the heart of quantum physics are dramatically represented in complex canvases that build on the 20th-century Op art legacies of Victor Vasarely and Bridget Riley, while hinting at the peculiar visual parallels that quantum physics shares with the mind bending visual puzzles and black-light posters of the psychedelic 1960s. In fact, graphical representations of the elusive Higgs boson particle that validated quantum theory at the Hadron particle collider in 2012 can look weirdly like the psychedelic patterns popular with the LSD generation as we see in Flynn’s Eigenstate V Ultraviolet (pictured). Albert Einstein’s quantum breakthrough occurred when he discovered that electromagnetic waves also could resemble particles, and Flynn’s vividly luminous Pierrot and Harlequin at the Pareidolic Masked Ball celebrates that playful shape-shifting quality by relating it to the popular clown characters featured in the comical masked theater performances of 17th-century Europe. But the cultural history of shape shifting really dates back thousands of years to the esoteric Asian religions of Hinduism and Buddhism in which deities, like those of the classical Greeks, could assume various guises even while representing aspects of ancient wisdom — a sensibility embodied in the undulating interwoven geometry of Flynn’s Heart Sutra — Form is Void and Void is Form. If that sounds confusing, it is really not all that different from the versatile digital technologies we take for granted every time we pick up a smartphone. Flynn just illustrates, brilliantly and vividly, the reasons why nothing ever is entirely what it seems. — D. ERIC BOOKHARDT

REVIEW

CRIPPLE CREEK THEATRE CO.’S PRODUCTION OF RAGTIME, a large-scale musical that premiered in 1996 and is based on the bestselling novel about turn-of-the century America by E.L. Doctorow, has much to say about our nation’s current strengths and challenges. Ragtime is a testament to the U. S.’s proud legacy of immigration, civil rights, feminism, social justice, industrialization and labor movements. Though conceived for a huge cast, full orchestra and proscenium stage, Cripple Creek’s stripped-down version of Ragtime is not compromised. Its 19 actors, dressed in • Thru Aug. 21 period costumes, assume 50 roles and perform 26 resplendent songs with piano • 8 p.m. Friday-Sunday accompaniment by Jefferson Turner in • Marigny Opera House, the nostalgic atmosphere of the Marigny 725 St. Ferdinand St., Opera House. The actors’ unamplified voices are projected beautifully, thanks www.cripplecreekplayers.org to acoustics inside the stone church, and sensitive lighting sets a reflective mood. The play begins in 1906 with a series of vignettes introducing the characters and providing a continuous stream of unfolding storylines. Semi-circular seating in the nave of the church gives the show a cabaret ambience. Mother (Amy Alvarez) is a traditional wife, who is protected and provided for, living in the affluent suburb of New Rochelle, New York. She longs to be, in her words, “someone whose heart can explore” even as her husband leaves on a grand tour. Greater changes are occurring close to home, disrupting the predictable decorum, as waves of immigrants pour through New York’s harbor. Alvarez’s crystal-clear vocals reflect a Victorian era’s womanly ideal even as she teeters on the brink of transformation. Evelyn Nesbit, the “Gibson Girl” (Angie Zeiderman), represents the new social acceptance of a free-spirited female. Educated and upwardly mobile African-Americans try to claim their own turf, demonstrated by Harlem piano player Coalhouse Walker Jr. (Cameron-Mitchell Ware), while a white backlash looms. Walker is courageous and forthright, demanding his rights against the status quo. He performs a heartrending duet, “Wheels of a Dream,” with his lover Sarah (Ashley Rose Bailey) about building a life together with their child. Jon Greene (Tateh) is outstanding in his portrayal of a Jewish Latvian immigrant with a young daughter (Jessica Lozano) who initially is disillusioned by the false promises of America. “Where is the America we were supposed to get?” he utters with a Yiddish accent. Ragtime is populated by historical characters, including anarchist and social activist Emma Goldman (Kate Kuen), African-American civil rights leader Booker T. Washington (Donald Lewis), capitalist J.P. Morgan (Andrew Vaught) and inventor Henry Ford (Shannon Flaherty), who accent the contrasts and contradictions of the rapidly changing social landscape. The stage is never static, despite many choral numbers, thanks to Nicole Buckels’ vaudeville-inspired choreography, which enlivened the often weighty subject matter. Musical director Jefferson Turner achieved harmonious ensemble performances. Directed by Cripple Creek company member Emilie Whelan, Ragtime is an emotional American epic in the triumphant vein of Les Miserables, emphasizing enduring class struggle for justice and equality. — MARY RICKARD
