Steve Earle and the Dukes

Wed. Oct. 23 | Amid Steve Earle’s lifetime achievements (author, actor, playwright, activist), it’s easy to lose “songwriter.” Earle shelved his color commentary on the human condition with 2009’s Townes, narrowing on one human: friend/hero Townes Van Zandt, whose catalog he interprets with a biographer’s intimacy. Earle’s latest is The Low Highway (New West). The Mastersons open at 8 p.m. at the Civic Theatre.

Voice of the Wetlands All-Stars

Wed. Oct. 23 | The collective featuring Tab Benoit, Anders Osborne, Johnny Vidacovich, Waylon Thibodeaux, Big Chief Monk Boudreaux and others performs at Wednesday at the Square. Rich Collins opens at 5 p.m. at Lafayette Square.

Cave

Divas

Thu.-Sun. Oct. 24-27 | Las Vegas headliner Frank Marino channels his time-tested Joan Rivers persona to host a glitzy showcase of male dancers and female impersonators animating Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Cher, Madonna, Rihanna, Dolly Parton and others. At Harrah’s New Orleans.

Saint Vitus

Fri. Oct. 25 | Doom metal wastelayer Saint Vitus reunited in 2008, lost original drummer Armando Acosta to arterial complications in 2010 and cut its first record in 17 years, the prowling Lillie: F-65 (Season of Mist), in 2012. Zoroaster and Hookers open at 10 p.m. at One Eyed Jacks.

Cry You One | This interactive drama explores the connections between the people of coastal Louisiana, their communities and the land. Audiences venture into the forest bordering wetlands behind the Los Islenos Heritage and Cultural Society Museum for a unique dramatic journey. PAGE 43.

Michael Franti & Spearhead

Mon. Oct. 28 | Musician, poet and activist Michael Franti offers a pop-friendly blend of hip-hop, funk, folk and reggae and lyrics frequently invoking peace and social justice causes. He recently released All People. Serena Rider opens at 8:30 p.m. at House of Blues.

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > OCTOBER 22 > 2013

Thu. Oct. 24 | On its 2013 album Threace, Chicago’s shrouded psychedelic outfit Cave tightens into a krautrock wrecking ball of restrained riffs and lockstep grooves, and its ’70s-inspired spartan rockers turn into offbeat headphone trips. Babes, Birthstone and Rotten Milk open at Siberia.

same level of confidence scientists have that cigarette smoking causes cancer. Indeed, unequivocal is the word that the world’s foremost authority on climate change, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), recently chose to describe humans’ responsibility for climate change. In a landmark report released Sept. 27, the IPCC also reiterated that the primary source of the greenhouse gas emissions that are overheating the planet and unleashing more extreme weather such as the record heat wave and drought of 2012 is — well, you know what it is: the burning of oil, gas and other carbon-based fossil fuels. Which is why, to be honest, I wondered if there had been some mistake when the good people at the Honors College first contacted me about coming to LSU. After all, LSU is an institution that, like the state it represents, has been soaked in oil and gas money for decades. Would an LSU audience really want to hear from an author who laid much of the blame for the climate crisis at the feet of the fossil fuel companies, who had revealed (in

THIS WEEK’S Question: The Governor’s Wife, the new reality show about Edwin Edwards, premieres Oct. 27. Will you be watching?

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > OCTOBER 22 > 2013

’ve given lots of speeches in my career, but until I visited Louisiana State University last month I‘d never been interrupted on stage by fire alarms — interrupted three separate times, in fact. Was that because I was talking about the threat of climate change on a campus where, to put it gently, there were plenty of people who didn’t want to hear about it or, frankly, anything else that reflected poorly on the oil and gas industry? Or was it simply bad luck, the kind of technical glitch that can happen at the start of a new school year? In any case, I was prevented from completing my remarks to the roughly 500 students assembled to hear them. And although I knew it wasn’t my fault, as I drove back to New Orleans the next day I felt I had let the students down, and I wanted to make amends. After all, there are few places on earth more threatened by climate change than Louisiana. Scientists say that climate change will trigger more storms and flooding — not a good thing for a state that is bisected by the continent’s biggest river and faces a sea that already produces frequent hurricanes. Climate change will also cause sea levels to rise, meaning that the southern reaches of Louisiana could literally disappear beneath the waves and Baton Rouge become beachfront property. Louisiana is also, however, a place that has taken impressive steps against the climate threat in the eight years since Hurricane Katrina. The rebuilding and strengthening of levees and other defenses has made New Orleans and its surrounding areas much better protected than they were before the storm, though additional work certainly remains to be done. What’s more, Louisiana has the potential to do much more going forward, to demonstrate that even an economy as dependent on oil and gas as this one can leave carbon-based fossil fuels behind, prospering instead through the development of solar and other renewable energy sources, including energy efficiency. Boosting energy efficiency means installing more efficient windows, lighting, motors and other forms of building renovation, creating large numbers of well-paying jobs that by their nature cannot be sent overseas. Of course, to some Louisianians even acknowledging the reality of man-made climate change is blasphemy. I was reminded of this by one LSU student’s personal story. I had been invited to LSU because the Honors College had chosen my latest book, HOT: Living Through the Next Fifty Years on Earth, as the “common book” all first-year honors students were required to read before arriving on campus. HOT was my attempt, as a father and a journalist, to come to terms with the dangers climate change poses to my young daughter and to identify the changes needed for her and the rest of her generation — Generation Hot, I call them — to inherit a livable planet. But when the mother of this student heard that her daughter had been assigned a book about climate change, the mom’s response was curt: “Don’t drink the Kool-Aid.” As the saying goes: There is none so blind as he who will not see. For everyone else, the evidence is, at this point, unequivocal. In climate science terms, “unequivocal” means 95 percent sure, the

Vanity Fair, shortly after Katrina) how those companies had deliberately confused the American public and media about climate change by funding the very same scientist, Dr. Frederick Seitz, who had taken $45 million in tobacco industry funding in the 1970s and 1980s for medical research that blamed cancer on everything but cigarette smoking? So when the fire alarms began interrupting my speech, I wasn’t sure what to think. The first alarm went off before I even got inside the Student Union lecture hall. I joked that perhaps a climate change denier had pulled the stunt to keep me from speaking, but I was only joking. After a few minutes, the building was cleared for entry, we all filed in, the provost and the dean made opening remarks and I took my place behind the podium. I had been speaking seven or eight minutes when the fire alarm began blaring a second time. The electricity went dead, rendering my microphone mute. A metallic voice filled the room, instructing us to leave the building at once.

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > OCTOBER 22 > 2013

This time I genuinely wondered if some trickery was afoot. I had begun my talk by thanking my hosts for the honor of choosing my book as their common text. I said I especially appreciated that the Honors College had welcomed an author whose writings about climate change challenged what many Louisianians believed. I emphasized, however, that I had come in a spirit of friendship, for I had developed a great affection for Louisiana in the course of many visits while reporting on the aftermath of Katrina, the levee failures and the BP oil disaster. I stressed that I very much wanted the state to succeed, for its sake and America’s. But succeeding in life, I continued, requires facing facts, even if the facts are unwelcome. And the fact is, there is no solid scientific basis for denying man-made climate change. All of the world’s leading scientific bodies, including our own country’s supreme arbiter of such matters, the National Academy of Sciences, have repeatedly affirmed that climate change is real, man-made and threatens terrible consequences. This view is shared, I added, by 97 percent of the scientific researchers who have published peer-reviewed papers on the issue. Then I paraphrased the former California governor, Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger: “If 97 doctors out of 100 say your child has a serious illness, you don’t listen to the three who say he doesn’t.” Was it the Schwarzenegger line that somehow triggered the second fire alarm? I don’t know. All I can say is that no sooner had I mentioned the movie star that fellow Republicans love to hate than the fire alarm went off that second time. Once again we exited the hall. The faculty members who had organized my visit apologized profusely. As we all milled about in the moist September darkness, I was approached by an animated young man wearing a baseball cap who announced that I was wrong about 97 percent of scientists believing in climate change. Whipping out a smart phone, he showed me his proof: a right-wing website that claimed that the true number was 42 percent. This occasioned a conversation about the difference between secondary sources and primary sources. Rigorous scholarship gives priority to primary sources, such as the peer-reviewed article in the Proceedings of the National Academies of Science that furnished the 97 percent figure I had cited; it gives less weight to secondary sources, and almost none to secondary sources with an ideological axe to grind, such as the student’s favored website. And critical thinking — the teaching of which, I’d been told, was the main goal of the Honors College at LSU — shuns the cherry-picking of evidence that merely confirms one’s pre-existing opinions. Rather, it applies openminded skepticism to all sides of an issue. Weighing all the evidence, it applies reason and judgment and then — the hardest part — embraces whatever conclusions result. Apparently unmoved, the student went on to voice what has become a favorite trope of the climate denier crowd: that a supposed leveling off of global temperature rise since 1998 proves that global warming is not happening. (The IPCC made a point of demolishing this canard in its recent report, noting that much of the recent temperature rise has been registered in the Earth’s oceans rather than on its surface, and that the overall trend is undiminished.) Before I could explain this to the doubting student, the dean called everyone back into the re-opened auditorium. At the podium, I told the students I knew it might be hard for some of them to accept that climate change is real. Perhaps your father or mother works in the oil or gas industry, I said. Perhaps you’ve been contemplating such a career for yourself. But I beg you: please use the critical thinking you’ll be taught here in the Honors College to consider your options carefully, for it’s no exaggeration to say that your very life may depend upon understanding what climate change means for Louisiana. I was about to add that the pell-mell development of oil and gas, along with the auto-centric society of highways, suburbs and three car families it’s made possible, is killing the planet — the planet where those students, my 8-year-old daughter and the rest of Generation Hot have to spend the rest of their lives. It doesn’t have to be this way, I wanted to say. Other choices are possible, and your generation can help make it happen. Wind and solar power are now the fastest growing electricity sources on earth. “Solar is growing so fast it is going to overtake everything,” Jon Wellinghoff, the chairman of the U.S. Federal Electricity Regulatory PAGE 10

Commission, which oversees the nation’s electricity market, said in August. “It’s going to be the dominant player. Everybody’s roof is out there.” The crazy treehuggers at investment banking giants Bloomberg New Energy Finance and Deutsche Bank are projecting the same globally, where the costs of solar are falling so fast that it is projected to surpass fossil fuels even in coal-rich China by 2030. “There is nothing like these rates of adopting a new technology,” says Danny Kennedy, a former Greenpeace activist who now helps run a solar company called Sungevity. “They’re faster than the adoption rates for cellphones.”

I wanted to say all this and more at LSU. Before I could, the fire alarm sounded for a third time. Again the electricity went out and my microphone went dead. Again the disembodied voice ordered us to the exits as my hosts, thoroughly embarrassed now, apologized over and over again. So I wasn’t able to finish my speech, until now. I should only add that most of the LSU students I met did not shrink from the truth about global warming; they understood that it’s a serious problem that demands action. Which in turn suggests two final thoughts: first, Louisiana may not be so different from the rest of the country after all, and second, it’s time to quit wasting breath debating climate deniers who will never let the facts get in the way of the story they want to believe. “At this point, 70 to 75 percent of Americans understand that global warming is very real, and [we] need to do something about it,” Bill McKibben, the writer and activist whose 350.org group has helped mobilize a growing grassroots movement against climate change, said recently. “The trick at this point is not to convert the other 25 percent. The fight is to get those who do know what’s going on [to become] as active and engaged as possible.” — Mark Hertsgaard is the author of six books that have been translated into 16 languages, including HOT: Living Through the Next Fifty Years on Earth. He is the environment correspondent for The Nation and a Fellow of the New American Foundation in Washington.

Boustany was the only member of the Louisiana GOP to vote yes on ending last week’s government shutdown. “I’ll vote against it. But that will get us into Round 2.

“The theater that went on with [former Alaska Gov.] Sarah Palin and [Texas Sen.] Ted Cruz — it’s like there’s a group of us desperately trying to put out a fire and they’re throwing gasoline on it. That’s not good. I believe that a principled compromise can be found in the Senate, and I believe a principled compromise can be found in the White House. Whether it can be sustained by a House so divided, and a Republican Party so turned on itself, I don’t know.” — Sen. Mary Landrieu, on the budget impasse that shut down the federal government and threatened the extension of the debt ceiling.

Louisiana consistently leads the U.S. in domestic homicides — the state ranked No. 1 per capita in the number of women killed by men with a rate of 2.53 per 100,000 in 2009, according to the Violence Policy Center. The state ranked No. 4 in 2010, and No. 9 in 2011. According to the Louisiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 81 percent of homicides against women are committed by a partner or an ex-partner. To recognize October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the New Orleans City Council’s health, education and social services committee met with members of local domestic violence prevention and aid organizations Oct. 16. “Louisiana is one of the most dangerous, violent places to be a wife, a mother, a girlfriend,” said Kati Bambrick Rodriguez, director of the New Orleans Health Department’s Domestic Violence Program. According to Rodriguez, Orleans Parish has issued 3,420 personal protective orders (compared to Baton Rouge, which issued 2,088), though only 24 percent of people seeking protection actually get it, she said. The city’s domestic violence program implemented Praxis International’s Blueprint for Safety, which creates a criminal justice system-wide response to handling domestic violence. Its Sexual Assault Response Team, which began in February, also maps out a criminal justice system-wide response to sexual assault. The program offers Harmony House, a supervised, safe place for families to bring children for visitation. Mary Claire Landry, executive director of the New Orleans Family Justice Center, said the center serves 1,200 to 1,500 people a year. NOPD receives 11,000 domestic violence calls a year, with 4,000 calls resulting in an arrest. The center offers a 24-hour crisis line (504-866-9554), operated by a bilingual staff. Its shelter can only house 20 people, however. “The resources we have don’t begin to address the overwhelming need,” Landry said. Julie Hagan, director of the city’s Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program, said its domestic violence screening pilot program at its Central City site has screened 1,287 women from March 1 to Sept. 23 — though only 2 percent were deemed “at-risk,” and no participants followed up with their referrals. The program has a two-question screen: Has the person been abused? How? Hagan said it has revised the program, including adding screenings in Spanish and extending the program to its New Orleans East and West Bank sites. “We’ve found many women to have trust issues in terms of referring,” Hagan said. “People will answer ‘no’ to questions despite being clearly visibly beaten. “They’re comfortable speaking to us but not to people they’re less familiar with.”

Trina and Edwin Edwards hit the small screen .. at last

The Governor’s Wife — the “reality” show about former Gov. Edwin Edwards and his wife Trina Scott Edwards — finally will premiere on Sunday, Oct. 27, at 9 p.m. on A&E. Based on an advance viewing of the first episode, it’s clear why the network put off the show several times. Turns out there’s not much to see — just EWE walking around the couple’s Gonzales house while Trina plans a birthday party, gets her hair done, performs at a charity benefit and discusses harvesting her 85-year-old husband’s frozen sperm (which he had stored before reporting to prison on felony charges in 2001). How long has the show been on the shelf? While the people on camera discuss the possibility of Trina having in-vitro fertilization at some point, in real life the Edwardses conceived and had a child, Eli, last August. — KEVIN ALLMAN

NAACP head to run for mayor

Danatus King Sr., president of the NAACP New Orleans Branch, will run for mayor against Mitch Landrieu next year, saying he questions the city’s strategy on major issues such as police reform, recreation and economic opportunity. “I don’t know if anyone else has stepped forward, but I am definitely running,” King said. King has been critical of the administration on a number of its top initiatives, and those same concerns are prompting him to run, he said. On the same day Landrieu announced a budget that included no specific line-

Both the New Orleans Police Department and Sheriff’s Office consent decrees should be fully funded, King said. “Now you’re paying attorneys to fight what you’ve already agreed to,” King said. “Either you spend the money implementing both decrees, or you spend the money fighting them and spend the money paying judgments against us because of the improper police actions or improper actions occurring inside the jail.” — ROBERT MORRIS | UPTOWN MESSENGER

Bar must add security, pick up trash With former neighbor Daiquiri Place Cafe shuttered after losing its liquor license last year, St. Charles Avenue’s Santa Fe Tapas has absorbed the crowds Daiquiri Place once held, according to the New Orleans City Attorney’s office, which has had the restaurant in its sights — and on the Alcohol Beverage Control Board’s agenda — for most of 2013. At an Oct. 15 hearing, the city attorney’s office and Santa Fe Tapas owners were poised to come to terms on an agreement after Santa Fe faced “creating a public nuisance” and “permitting any disturbance of the peace” charges, with the establishment’s liquor license on the bubble.

Now that message has changed: “I don’t know if I’m going to run for president or not,” Jindal told Politico on Oct. 16.

Vitter’s Letterman impression Senator’s office posts Top 10 list

“Top Ten Reasons the Government Shutdown Isn’t All Bad” wasn’t a David Letterman list — it was one on the minority leader’s page on the U.S. Senate Committee on the Environment & Public

Works. Who is the minority leader on that committee? None other than U.S. Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana, and his name was peppered throughout the list, touting legislation he’d proposed, supported or passed. Among the reasons the shutdown wasn’t so bad: “Fewer bureaucrats at the EPA makes it less likely that they’ll make up science on new regulations” and “Farleft environmentalists prove themselves hypocrites again: They criticize continuing oil and gas production on federal lands during the shutdown but issue no call to halt wind turbines.” Of course, the government wasn’t entirely shut down; someone on the taxpayers’ payroll had to make that list and post it for Vitter. — KEVIN ALLMAN

Louisiana public school kids some of the nation’s poorest

South accounts for more than half of all low income students

A new report by the Southern Education Foundation found that 66 percent of children in Louisiana public schools come from low-income households. The state ranks below only Mississippi (71 percent) and New Mexico (68 percent). The South accounts for more than half of all low income students in the country. For the first time in decades, says the report, which is titled “The New Majority.” Seventeen states’ public schools now serve a new majority of low income household students in preschool through 12th grade. “A majority of public school children in 17 states, one-third of the 50 states across the nation, were low income students — eligible for free or reduced lunches — in the school year that ended in 2011,” the report says. “Thirteen of the 17 states were in the South, and the remaining four were in the West. Since 2005, half or more of the South’s children in public schools have been from low income households. During the last two school years, 2010 and 2011, for the first time in modern history, the West has had a majority low income students attending P-12 public schools.” That average of 66 percent accounts for low income students in rural areas (129,674, or 63 percent), suburbs (93,933, or 59 percent), and cities (70 percent). In Mississippi and Louisiana, at least nine out of every 10 school districts had a majority of low income students. Eighty-two percent of school districts in Louisiana have a majority student body that qualifies for free lunch, or free/reduced-price lunch (90 percent), the meal program offered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The Washington Post notes that in 2011, nearly half of the country’s 50 million public-school students qualified for free or reducedprice meals.

with loiterers would go away if it agreed to ban go-cups. “My position is that loitering is allowed because they’re allowing people to get a go-cup,” he said. McNamara said the city’s alleged attempt to rid bars of go-cups “couldn’t be further from the truth.” “It’s not a logical extension of what we do,” he said, adding that in this particular case, a go-cup prohibition would prevent the “festival atmosphere” the bar creates when people loiter outside with drinks. Board chairwoman Nyka Scott asked why go-cups are a point of concern for McNamara if the bar already has agreed to increasing security. David Halpern, an attorney representing Santa Fe, said the bar agreed to have security one night a week when it is at its busiest. Halpern said he didn’t “recall go-cups being a sticking point” in his negotiations for a consent judgment with the city. “(Banning) go-cups doesn’t solve loitering,” Halpern said. “Personnel solves loitering.” Chef Matt Murphy of nearby The Irish House restaurant said loitering from Santa Fe blocks traffic and jams up St. Charles. When the bar’s customers go outside, he added, Santa Fe’s owners “have to take responsibility for what happens after that.” McNamara and Halpern agreed to a consent judgment that the restaurant will maintain security throughout the week when the restaurant is open; create a litter abatement program under which Santa Fe is responsible for trash pickup along St. Charles around the restaurant; and go-cups are allowed — as long as they’re “professionally printed.” The agreement will appear on the January docket when the board reviews the recommendations. Halpern said the restaurant will implement the conditions of the consent judgment immediately. — ALEX WOODWARD

sent decree and the firefighters’ pension judgment — only the police consent decree is “funded” by Landrieu’s proposed budget. While that sets off alarms in some quarters, the truth is only the police consent decree has a fixed price tag right now. It is estimated to cost about $55 million over the next five years, and many of the immediate costs (such as improved technology and better equipment) have been woven into next year’s operating budget as part of ongoing efforts to improve policing. Funding the prison consent decree and the firefighters’ pension judgment will present challenges all their own, but for now neither is final. Sheriff Marlin Gusman has signed a consent decree with the U.S. Department of Justice, but the city has not yet signed it. Moreover, U.S. District Judge Lance Africk, who is presiding over that case, has not yet put a price tag on the decree — nor has he determined how much the city and sheriff must pay, respectively.

At least a dozen departments will see cuts ranging from 2 percent to nearly 30 percent.

Doing less with less ayor Mitch Landrieu did not mince words when he presented his proposed 2014 operating budget for the City of New Orleans on Oct. 15. “Budgeting is not for the faint of heart,” he said. He’s right, particularly in light of the fiscal challenges that confront City Hall these days. On one level, Landrieu’s budget proposal contained some good news: The city will collect almost $10 million more in 2014 than it expects to take in this year. Then again, expenses are rising at a much faster rate, particularly as a result of two expensive consent decrees and a judgment against the city for more than $17 million in firefighter pensions. Not for the faint of heart, indeed. Overall, the mayor’s suggested spending plan for next year was a mixed bag. While violent crime is increasing nationally, New Orleans’ murder rate — for years the highest in the nation — is actually down 24 percent for the first three quarters of this

year compared to the same period in 2012. Our murder rate is still way too high, but if the current trend continues, we may finally be on the path to reducing violence in our city. The mayor credits several programs, all of which will see increased funding next year under his budget proposal — along with the Police Department, the Fire Department, EMS, the Recreation Department and Municipal Court, where misdemeanor cases are handled. Citizens who want public safety funded to the fullest will have little to complain about with the mayor’s proposed budget. He calls for increased funding to train 150 new police officers, purchasing 100 new police cars and a body camera for every officer, and a $300,000 marketing campaign to recruit new cops. He also proposes to fund the DA’s office and Criminal District Court at 100 percent of their 2012 levels. Now for the bad news: At least a dozen departments will see cuts ranging from 2 percent (Public Works) to nearly 30 percent (City Planning). Some of those cuts can be explained away as efficiencies, but here again the mayor did not mince words. “We are always working to do more with less, but in many instances we will have to do less with less,” Landrieu said. Of the three biggest challenges — the judicially mandated New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) consent decree, the pending Orleans Parish Prison (OPP) con-

The judge wisely has allowed the New Orleans City Council’s budget hearing process, which begins this week, to provide a public airing of all the issues related to the cost of operating a constitutional jail. The council has scheduled three special meetings dedicated solely to Gusman’s budget. Meanwhile, the city is appealing the adverse judgment in the firefighters’ lawsuit. That buys the mayor and the council some time, but not much. Landrieu and the council will have to put out that fiscal fire sooner or later. The mayor has pushed a plan to overhaul the firefighters’ pension system to make it less expensive — and more in line with other public pensions. He has had some success, but more needs to be done. Eventually, the city will have to pay what it owes firefighters, who years ago agreed to take less salary in exchange for a better pension plan. The mayor also presented his proposed $247 million capital budget for brick-andmortar projects. Those projects include improvements to Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, money for parks and recreation, a new 2nd District police station and other projects across the city. Now the budget is in the City Council’s hands. Overall, despite having to do less with less, the city is on a good fiscal path.

Free at last ount me among the many in southeast Louisiana who were disappointed (but not surprised) that Gov. Bobby Jindal succeeded in ousting historian John Barry from the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-East (SLFPA-E). If there’s a silver lining to Barry’s removal, it’s that Jindal has once again been exposed as a sellout — along with some of the “reformers” who pushed for levee board reform after Hurricane Katrina. There’s another silver lining — for Barry: He’s now free to say what he really thinks. “The governor has put the interests of the oil and gas industry ahead of his obligation to protect our coastal lands from destruction and our people from catastrophic flooding,” Barry, author of the award-winning book Rising Tide, said in a statement the day Jindal named his replacement. “This is exactly why the people of Louisiana voted overwhelmingly to keep politics out of flood protection, when they stood up after Katrina to

Fortunately, Barry has something those trappers didn’t have: the means to fight back and the will to carry his fight to a national audience. He plans to start a nonprofit to advocate for SLFPA-E’s environmental lawsuit against 97 energy companies, and his national credibility on flood protection issues gives him a very large audience. In his statement, Barry told a truth that a growing number of people have come to recognize for its significance. “The master plan has no funding,” he said, referring to the much-ballyhooed blueprint for restoring Louisiana’s coast. Without funding, the coastal master plan is not a master plan at all. I’m not saying it’s a bad plan; I think it’s an excellent plan — but it’s not really a master plan. A real master plan has a start date and a completion date. It also has a budget, a specific revenue source, and realistic price tag. This plan has none of those. It’s more a strategic plan — which is important to have as a starting point — but it is not a true master plan.

demand an independent flood protection authority unfettered by the constraints of political favoritism. Now that process, and the intent of the voters, has been betrayed by raw politics.” Anyone who has read Rising Tide should appreciate Barry’s ability to pull back the curtain and expose the self-dealing and hypocrisy of New Orleans’ ruling class, which orchestrated the needless flooding of much of Plaquemines Parish during the 1927 flood and then used its legal and political clout to deny promised reparations to landowners who lost everything. Funny how history repeats itself — and tragically ironic that Barry, a historian, stands in the vortex of this latest example. He was the darling of the silk-stocking swells who anointed themselves as experts on flood control after Katrina — until he took his oath of office and the notion of political independence seriously. Now they’ve discarded him as easily as their predecessors-in-interest casually dismissed the fur trappers swept away by the dynamiting of the Mississippi River levee at Caernarvon in 1927.

Whatever the cost, how will Louisiana pay its 35 percent share of implementing that plan? Let’s start by acknowledging that we will have to pay that much — at a minimum. There will be no federal bailout. We must put up a local match. So where will that money come from, if not at least in part from the energy industry — an industry that even Jindal’s coastal “czar” Garret Graves admits is partially responsible? “This anti-tax governor wants to fund it by making taxpayers pay to fix damage which his own administration acknowledges was caused by the oil and gas industry, the most profitable industry in the history of the world,” Barry says. “That is bad policy and dreamland politics, given that the fight in Washington over the budget put us [on the brink of] the first default by the U.S. government in history. In this environment, he expects his anti-tax friends in Washington to send us billions and billions of dollars?” I’m sad that Barry is no longer on the SLFPA-E board, but I’m already enjoying his newfound freedom to speak truth to power once again.

taffers and volunteers are still moving tables, stocking the bar and positioning promotional materials. It’s the kind of organized chaos you expect during the run-up to a celebration at the Botanical Garden in City Park, but this particular soiree is being hosted by Planned Parenthood of Louisiana. Boosters will gather here soon to toast a planned 7,000-square-foot health clinic on South Claiborne Avenue, for which $3.8 million has been raised and $4.2 million overall is needed. The clinic won’t open until late 2014 or early 2015, which leaves plenty of time to raise more cash. The pace already is picking up; roughly $1 million has been donated over the past six months. Those who manage the organization inside and outside the state express confidence the goal will be reached. When Cecile Richards, president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America since 2006 and the daughter of former Texas Gov. Ann Richards, arrives, she’s treated like the political royalty she is, at least in left-leaning Democratic terms. Hugs all around, firm handshakes, talking points from an aide, a quick photo shoot, an interview with a reporter. From cable news talk shows to the Democratic National Convention, Richards is a political player with major creds, plus some roots in New Orleans — she lived in the city for a short spell, met her husband here and also worked with organized labor in the region. As construction progresses and Planned Parenthood moves its operational hub from Magazine Street to South Claiborne, Richards says she’ll be in the city more often to meet with supporters and help oversee the transition. “We have outgrown that facility and we need to expand our services,” she says. “A lot of people in the health care community are excited that someone is coming here to expand care, especially for women who aren’t otherwise able to afford it. And a lot of women here need it. That’s what we do. That’s what Planned Parenthood represents.” As afternoon stretches into evening, Kermit Ruffins appears across the street, leaning against a massive pickup truck while rubbing down his

Construction will begin soon on this lot on South Claiborne Avenue (top), where Planned Parenthood plans to build a 7,000-square-foot women’s health facility.

The folks from Planned Parenthood have spared no expense on the party. “Kermit!” a group of young women scream before crossing the street. Ever cool, “All right, now,” is all they get in return from the trumpeter. It’s early October and the otherwise serene Crescent City setting stands in stark contrast to the groundbreaking held for the planned clinic last May. That’s when several hundred protestors showed up on South Claiborne, according to press reports, some with their children joining in the protest and many more holding signs that read, “More Planned Parenthood = More Abortion” and “Abortion Is Murder!” The NOLA Needs Peace Coalition, which includes many local religious and community leaders, is leading the opposition ground game with notable names like Mary Matalin, a renowned Republican consultant; Abby Johnson, a former Planned Parenthood director and author; and New Orleans Archbishop Gregory Aymond, who has taken on a front-and-center role. “A Planned Parenthood abortion facility in our community will take us further away from the peaceful future New Orleans needs,” Aymond said in a prepared statement. “Violence is violence, whether on our streets or in the womb.” Despite the abortion controversy, Richards insists the move to South Claiborne is strategic. The new location is near the heart of the city’s medical community — many supporters see an opportunity to build a partnership with

Ochsner Baptist — and the construction plan allows for future growth. But what stands out most about the new clinic for some is that it will be the first Planned Parenthood facility in Louisiana to offer abortion procedures onsite, as opposed to referring women to other clinics. Richards says it’s part of a larger trend nationally to expand services. “The decision to do that was made collectively by folks here. The Magazine center was not meeting the demand,” she says. “Across the country, it amounts to a relatively small amount of the care we offer. It’s less than 10 percent of the services we provide overall. We provide abortion services in addition to a host of other services.” New Orelans Councilwoman LaToya Cantrell, in whose district the new facility is located, says the issue centers on those “other services.” To her, it’s about access to cancer screenings, contraceptives, tests for sexually transmitted diseases, counseling, prenatal care, reproductive care, breast exams and even adoption services, all of which Planned Parenthood offers — for both women and men, when applicable. “Citywide we are leading the nation with four times the amount of chronic illnesses, heart disease and lung cancer,” Cantrell says. “We are also No. 3 for HIV and AIDS. I know this facility will help us begin to address those needs and the health care disparities in the area.” Cantrell and others point to a new study released by the Center for American Progress called “The State of Women in America,” which ranked Louisiana second-to-last among other states in terms of health care access for women. The study also found that only 21 percent of the publicly funded contraceptive services needed in Louisiana are being met by publicly supported providers. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services also has noted that Louisiana has the sixth-highest teen pregnancy rate in the nation — and, compared to the national average, New Orleans teens are twice as likelyto have sex before the age of 13. “In our schools we cannot give out contraceptives because it’s illegal, according to state law. So we need a place where our young people can go to get real information and help,” Cantrell says.

Despite those “other services” offered by Planned Parenthood, the debate always comes back to the same topic — abortion — which makes it a big deal in the Louisiana Legislature. For example, state Rep. Frank Hoffmann, R-West Monroe, has sponsored bills and resolutions over the years to dry up Planned Parenthood’s funding. Even if a facility is using public money for cancer screenings, Hoffmann argues it indirectly helps Planned Parenthood deliver other services, such as abortions. A resolution authored by Hoffmann earlier this year suggests that Planned Parenthood has a “corporate scheme for maximizing clinic profits” and advises employees how to “fraudulently bill government programs.” The House passed the resolution, which asks that various state agencies make sure the organization is in compliance with all laws. Hoffman, however, was unable to provide an update on that effort. “There were a lot of red flags that merit a looking into,” he says. “I’m not opposed to Planned Parenthood in particular. I’m sure they do a lot of great work. They don’t provide abortions in Louisiana right now, as you know, and I wish it would stay that way.” Melissa Flournoy, Louisiana state director of Planned Parenthood, says the group didn’t testify on Hoffmann’s resolution this year because it “wasn’t pertinent or factual.” Gene Mills, president of the Louisiana Family Forum, a Christian political advocacy group, says state lawmakers are taking a closer look at Planned Parenthood’s operations in large part because the organization eventually agreed to pay $4.3 million to settle a federal civil suit — while denying any wrongdoing, according to The Wall Street Journal — for fraudulent Medicaid

Cecile Richards has been president of Planned Parenthood of America since 2006. “A lot of people in the health care community are excited that someone is coming here to expand care,” she says, “especially for women who aren’t otherwise able to afford it.” But a group called the NOLA Needs Peace Coalition, which includes many local religious and community leaders, is against Planned Parenthood’s new facility.

bills that originated at some of its Texas clinics over a seven-year span. “That’s what is prompting legislative action,” Mills says. “Some of those earlier investigations on that had legislators second-guessing the group’s mission.” Conservative lawmakers also tried to defund Planned Parenthood through the state budget this year, although there were no such line items in the spending bill. Sen. Karen Carter Peterson, D-New Orleans, was the organization’s biggest champion in the upper chamber. “I’ve been a consistent advocate for women’s health concerns throughout my career in public service,” Peterson says. “With our critical public health care infrastructure under assault from Baton Rouge, it’s important that we support Planned Parenthood’s mission in New Orleans to provide women’s health care to those who need it most.” Richards echoes that theme, especially as Gov. Bobby Jindal refuses to expand Medicaid programs or implement other portions of the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare. She says Planned Parenthood’s services are made all the more important by these decisions and are the reason why some women may see only one physician in the coming years — the one they meet in Planned Parenthood’s South Claiborne Avenue facility. “There are a lot of folks who could qualify. It’s perplexing to me and Louisiana certainly deserves better,” Richards says. “People will end up not getting preventive care, which is bad for taxpayers. It’s shortsighted. [Jindal] is putting politics ahead of health care needs in the state.” And even though Planned Parenthood is often at odds with groups like the Louisiana Family Forum, Richards says it has many faith-based partners that are proud to stand by its side. “There were clergy members at a Baton Rouge event I just attended,” she says. “A lot of the clergy I get to talk to are PAGE 23

Teen pregnancy has dropped across the nation, but not here, not in states with abstinenceonly education. — State Rep. Pat Smith

For Cantrell and others, that’s just another reason why Planned Parenthood’s services are needed in New Orleans. But more than that, Cantrell says, studies and statistics show women in the Crescent City are increasingly unable to access affordable health care and are, in the long run, costing taxpayers more money. That should be a part of the abortion debate as well, she argues. “I know that not every woman or couple that comes into Planned Parenthood pregnant is going to leave with an abortion,” Cantrell says. “It’s about all these statistics that we keep hearing about for teen pregnancies and cancer and STDs. The numbers for all of these are very real. They can’t be ignored.” Something else that cannot be ignored is the determination of abortion foes to continue their opposition to Planned Parenthood’s new facility. The debate — and the protests — will probably continue long after the organization has wrapped up fundraising efforts and officially opened the new clinic.

deeply concerned about teenage pregnancies in their congregations and sex education for young people. They want the young people in their communities to have the opportunity to finish high school, get a job and be able to support a family. This is where we have enormous common ground.” On that policy front, the Legislature this year adopted a resolution from Rep. Pat Smith, D-Baton Rouge, to create a task force to study the effectiveness of sex ed programs in Louisiana and other states. In the past, she has tried to get sex education curriculum on the books, but groups like Family Forum and others have opposed the concept, arguing sex ed needs to happen at home instead. “That’s just not happening,” Smith says of the Family Forum’s alternative. “Abstinence can’t work by itself. Teen pregnancy has dropped across the nation, but not here, not in states with abstinence-only education.”

outpatient facilities, offering grooming, examinations and surgeries.“ Advances in technology have allowed the facility to adopt two new procedures: laser therapy and stem cell therapy. “Laser therapy is used mostly for joint and back pain,” Kennedy says.“It relieves pain, helping the animals with their performance in life. The stem cell therapy has only been used by our facility for a little over a month. This would be used once a treatment such as laser therapy is no longer working. We take fat from one area of the pet, process it, harvest the stem cells and reinject the stem cells into the area that is bothersome.” With the clinic’s history spanning more than half a century, Metairie Small Animal Hospital customers are mostly regulars, says location manager Amy Kennedy. “We have several generations of people whose parents and grandparents started coming when Dr. Tom opened the hospital,” Kennedy says. “Now their children and grandchildren bring their animals in to see us.”

Les bon temps mole

A festive Mexican restaurant in Central City.

as well. Huevos rancheros on fried tortillas paired with pico de gallo and potatoes was a satisfying plate, especially with the addition of wickedly spicy house-made habanero salsa. Better still was the Bloody Maria, made with freshly squeezed tomato juice, which added a refreshing, vegetal flavor. Agave lovers will be pleased by the impressive list of tequilas and mescals, and the craft cocktails that smartly employ them. Casa Borrega has a few hitches. Service was friendly and the servers knowledgeable, but on each visit the kitchen was out of at least one or two menu items. And if you choose to dine in the restaurant’s courtyard some evening, make sure to do it away from the tiki torches, which cast a romantic glow as well as a pungent whiff of kerosene. Despite its few shortcomings, Casa Borrega is worth the trip to Central City if you’re looking for authentic Mexican cuisine at a fair price, in a fun, funky-cool room. I know that mole poblano will be calling my name soon enough.

Bourbon bars and New York hurricanes The Spike series Bar Rescue features bar consultant Jon Taffer parachuting into troubled and badly run bars to engineer quick turnarounds. The series opened its last season in January at an address on Bourbon Street, now Spirits on Bourbon (615 Bourbon St., 504-5246014; www.spiritsonbourbon.com). Taffer helped the staff come up with a signature drink (served in a flashing skull-shaped cup) and institutionalized a barber chair and accompanying mythology. It worked very well. PAGE 28

asa Borrega has been turning out authentic Mexican cuisine in Central City since July. What began with small plates and cocktails has now graduated to full lunch, dinner and brunch service. For those looking for a real taste of south of the border flavors, it’s an exciting arrival — especially because New Orleans diners have had little access to authentic Mexican fare. There’s been plenty of TexMex in the Big Easy, but nary a true mole poblano to be found. The restaurant resides in a comfortable, funky, brightly colored house decorated in what seems to be years’ worth of yard sale finds: On one wall rests a heavy manual typewriter; on another, a large white pinata in the shape of what appears to be a llama or an alpaca. Glancing around the room, one sees a beautiful stained glass window, many folk art paintings, a vintage ceiling fan and Day of the Dead decorations. The decor is anything but dull, so it feels perfectly at home in New Orleans. But does the food live up to the festive atmosphere? A few recent visits to Casa Borrega found a restaurant yet to hit its stride, but still accomplishing some remarkable things in the kitchen. Dinner started off with guacamole and tostadas, and while the guacamole was a little thin and lacked spice, the handmade corn tostadas were perfectly toasted and crisp. The house tacos were a hit-and-miss affair, but the misses were slight and the hits were heavy. The carne asada taco promised skirt steak “marinated to perfection,” but turned out a little dry. The Borrego, however, filled with slow-cooked leg of lamb, made up for it and the pastor, loaded with pork cooked in achiote, was a favorite of the night. I’ve always judged Mexican eateries on their mole sauce, and in this respect Casa Borrega hit the mark, with three chicken enchiladas covered by a rich, dark mole with strong but not overbearing notes of chili and chocolate. Also worth noting is the pozole, a traditional hominy soup considered by many to be the national dish of Mexico. Casa Borrega favors a recipe from Mexico City, taken from one of the cook’s mothers, I was told. Our server was quick to note the restaurant’s pride in the oversized bowl filled with fragrant broth, hominy, chicken (or sometimes pork or lamb), served with additions such as diced onion, shredded cabbage, lime and radishes. That pride, it turns out, is deserved. A breakfast venture turned up some fine dishes

“We doubled our revenue,” Bar Rescue’s Nicole and Jon co-owner Brad Bohannan says. Taffer with Spirits on Bourbon “Every time the show is (rerun), co-owner Brad Bohannan. we get 8,000 hits on our website. … We had to hire someone just to handle online marketing.” But the relationship with Taffer didn’t end with the episode. “He calls every month,” Bohannan says. “You become like his kid. Sometimes it’s like talking to your father. … If you have an idea, you can call him up and see what he thinks.” Because of the bar’s newfound success, Bohannan has joined Taffer in Las Vegas at the annual Bar and Nightclub Convention. And Bohannan will appear on a Bar Rescue episode airing 9 p.m. Saturday. The Bungalow Bar in the Rockaway Beach area of Brooklyn, N.Y., was a business hobbled by Hurricane Sandy. The rescue is about helping it recover and, in a nod to a city familiar with hurricane damage, Taffer invited Bohannan to help. “We donated their specialty merchandise (including specialty cups and T-shirts) and gave them $5,000 for advertising,” Bohannan says. Bohannan appears in the episode and reports that the Northeast’s recovery also is taking time. “We were there five months ago, and many areas are still torn up,” he says. — WILL COVIELLO

3-COURSE interview

Justin Devillier

Contestant on Bravo’s Top Chef Many locals know chef Justin Devillier from his restaurant La Petite Grocery (4238 Magazine St., 504-891-3377; www.lapetitegrocery. com), but foodies nationwide are getting to know him as a contestant on Bravo’s cooking competition Top Chef. In season 11’s third episode, which aired Oct. 16, the chefs dined at Commander’s Palace and then had to recreate some of its classic dishes by taste. Devillier won the challenge with a dessert featuring three items made with strawberries.

Devillier: In every challenge, you want to cook the best you can and put it all out on the table. Winning is icing on the cake. When you’re put in these different types of situations, you know what you’re capable of, but sometimes you can’t get to the point where you know you should be and that’s frustrating. [That] night, we had one hour to cook 15 dishes we had never cooked before — from nothing to the finished product. One hour — that’s pretty ridiculous. You know you can do it, but the circumstances are very trying.

Many challenges seem to demand improvising a recipe on the spot. What is that like? D: We actually do that in the restaurant. We spend a lot of effort on trying to support smaller purveyors. A lot of times, those farmers don’t have the ability to consistently produce the same thing. So we get something at 3 p.m. and have to do something with it and be ready by 5 p.m. We sort of plan on not knowing what we are getting. For instance, one of our farm trucks comes by on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I get a text message in the morning about basically what they’ve got, but I get on the truck and pick stuff based on what looks the best. It’s very spontaneous. But we plan on those deliveries.

Has being on the program had any effect on your restaurant? D: It’s our busy season, so if it has, I can’t tell. But I had a guy on a bicycle give me a shout-out this morning. I had my window rolled down, and he said, “I saw you on TV last night. Good job.” That was cool. — WILL COVIELLO

WINE of the week 2011 Joao Portugal Ramos Loios Vinho Tinto ALENTEJO, PORTUGAL $9-$10 RETAIL

Well-regarded wines from the Alentejo DOC (Designation of Origin) region have been at the forefront of growth in Portugal’s wine exports. Alentejo is a hot, dry area in eastern Portugal, and vast acres are planted with cork trees. From the region’s vineyards, red wines are primarily produced from multiple varieties of native grapes blended with the well-known grapes such as cabernet sauvignon and syrah. This bottling, made from indigenous grapes, is a blend of 35 percent each aragones and trincadeira and 30 percent castelao. The wine was vinified in stainless steel and touched no oak. It offers jammy aromas of berry fruit, and on the palate, one tastes red currants and more ripe, dark berry flavors, smooth tannins, good acidity and a lightly sweet finish. Drink it with grilled meats, red beans and rice, barbecue, fowl, pasta with tomato sauce, stuffed pork chops and sweet potatoes.

The Great American Beer Festival (GABF), held in Denver each October, is the American beer industry’s most prestigious event. More than 49,000 ticketholders, media, judges, volunteers and brewery staff attended this year’s event, held Oct. 10-12. Tickets for the festival sold out in 20 minutes. There were 624 participating breweries, and they worked hard to secure slots. Abita and Bayou Teche Brewing were able to sign up immediately for GABF, and NOLA Brewing joined them after a short stint on the waiting list. The Louisiana breweries took their responsibilities to represent the state seriously. “People were so intrigued to hear about how we involve our culture in everything we do from our beer, music, food, art and just simple good living,” said Derek Domingue, Bayou Teche’s sales and marketing representative. This was NOLA’s fifth year at the festival, and president Kirk Coco notes that NOLA’s specialty beer Girl Stout Cookie — its Irish Channel Stout made with mint leaves and cocoa nibs — was popular, resulting in long lines and positive comments. “Feedback from GABF influences how we produce our beers,” Coco said, adding that Girl Stout Cookie should be commercially available within the next year. When the winners were announced, Abita’s Andygator was awarded a silver medal in the bock beer category. This is Abita’s first GABF medal and the first one given to current Louisiana breweries (Tom Conklin of Gordon Biersch won a silver medal for Bohemian Pilsner in 2009). Abita recently began offering Andygator in six packs of 12-ounce bottles. “The true mark of the beer being well-received is the returning customers,” said Keith Pumilia, Abita’s draft specialist and former brewer (pictured wearing Abita’s bock beer silver medal). “We had people hang out in our area all night and (keep) coming back to drink Abita.” — NORA MCGUNNIGLE

“Perhaps the most compelling reason to tip 25 percent is understanding the economics of the restaurant business. Almost four in 10 restaurant industry workers earn at or below the federal minimum wage, even after factoring in tips, according to a study by the Aspen Institute. As a result, servers experience almost three times the poverty rate of the workforce as a whole and rely on food stamps at nearly double the rate of the general population.”

Borgne identity

Cry You One explores the links between people and their wetlands. By Will Coviello

was a mythical werewolf story, with religious overtones, about a Cajun man afflicted by a curse. It dealt with the temptations of money, trade-offs between industry and unspoiled lands, and some of the vices of port cities. The story’s deeper meanings resonated with audiences elsewhere when the group toured with the show, including Kentucky audiences who saw similarities with the coal industry and mountaintop removal, Slie says. ArtSpot and Mondo Bizarro create ensemblegenerated theater incorporating music, visual art, poetry and more. In this case, they reached out to scientists, environmentalists and local government officials while developing the story. Mark Davis, Tulane University law professor and director of the Institute on Water Resources Law and Policy, was invited to an early discussion and has been to several walk-throughs. He was happy to talk to the crew about science and policy, but he also was interested in the group’s mission to make art about the issue. “For all the news stories and master plans, and even lawsuits, it’s always been my experience that until people care in a deep way, it’s hard to make the kinds of commitments that are going to be necessary to save this place and our way of life,” Davis says. “The measure isn’t how many news hits you get. Have you made the jump into culture? We don’t really learn facts and figures in the abstract. We don’t convince people with nuanced arguments. What normally prevails is the best story. Stories are what endure from generation to generation; it’s stories that connect people. ... If it weren’t for John Steinbeck and Woody Guthrie, how many people would remember anything about the Dust Bowl?” The production also required other sorts of

cooperation. Lake Borgne Basin Levee District Director Cry You One is an outdoor production Nicholas Cali told them he performed in a space bordering had never been to a play coastal wetlands. when he arrived to see their proposal. He regularly evaluCry You One OCT ates permitting requests for 1 p.m. Sat.-Sun.

Shuttle service from For Cali, there’s nothing New Orleans available abstract about the loss of wetlands or the complicated issues of levee protection, which enables residents of St. Bernard Parish to get federal flood insurance, and thus some security in maintaining their homes. But there are personal issues for him, too. “I have a son who’s a year and a half,” he says. “I can’t wait to take him in the forest — and hunting and fishing.”

unique odyssey of a theatrical production, Cry You One, fittingly, is an immersing experience. In Mondo Bizarro and ArtSpot Productions’ new work about the ties between people and their land, the land is the rapidly eroding coastal wetlands of south Louisiana, particularly in the parishes surrounding the mouth of the Mississippi River. Audiences begin the experience at the Los Islenos Heritage and Cultural Society Museum and are led into a forest abutting wetlands behind the center. “We were thinking of doing a jazz funeral for the land,” says co-creator and actor Nick Slie. “We wanted some sort of processional. We considered Lafourche Parish and Lafayette, but (collaborating artist) Monique Verdin is from lower St. Bernard. … It’s an incredible vantage point of what’s going on in Louisiana.” In a clearing at the edge of the forest, audiences divide into small groups and each is led into the forest by one of the characters. Slie plays Tom Dulac, the son of oil rig and pumping station workers from Delacroix, a small fishing town devastated by hurricanes. Dulac tells his charges that 36 places were removed from Louisiana maps last year. The show is not a nature walk, and that becomes abundantly clear as the groups convene at a Houma Indian-style thatched hut, where they are interrupted by a strange man in a wire mesh Cajun Carnival mask sitting in an armchair in the back of a pickup truck. He dangles a red suitcase full of cash like a pinata, and the characters lunge for it, all pleading for causes to save land or people. Dr. Carol Carl (Hannah Pepper-Cunningham) advocates freshwater diversion plans, allowing for replenishment of sediments in wetlands cut off from the river by levees. Zelda Culotte (Lisa Shattuck) wants to use plastic bottles and other recyclable materials to rebuild barrier islands. Dr. Ozane (Pamela D. Roberts) says it’s too late to save many areas and resources should be used to help residents relocate and begin new lives elsewhere. There are many surprises as the characters reveal more about their lives and livelihoods and push further into the forest. Their stories become more personal, and the journey takes on folkloric and mythical overtones against the backdrop of a beautiful and changing natural setting. There used to be a cypress forest beyond the path. “In less than 50 years, it’s changed,” Slie says. “The forest was so thick you couldn’t see sun come through the trees in the daytime. But the saltwater intrusion has killed it.” Cry You One grew out of the success of Loup Garou, a work created by ArtSpot and Mondo Bizarro and presented in City Park in 2009. It also touched on the connections between culture and land, but it

Cult status means something very different in music than it does in film, a distinction that has nothing to do with cultishness and almost everything to do with time warps, made men and sweet transvestites from Transexual, Transylvania. The Rocky Horror Picture Show’s overnight rise as a worldwide midnight matinee and cross-dressing costume party is the subversive inverse of Patricia Jean Griffin’s long-exposure recording career, which has perpetuated like a scriptural chain letter, all salt and earth, life and death, secrets and revelations. Griffin, 49, is neither a household name like Emmylou Harris and Alison Krauss nor a railroad murmur — she releases traditional folk/rock on ATO Records and penned the Dixie Chicks’ best songs, and her boyfriend and reciprocal backup singer is Robert Plant. Her elusive moment, after 17 years of diamond clarity, hardness and precision, is right now, with the successive releases of two defining works, one old and one new: the long-bootlegged Silver Bell (Universal), recorded in 2000 with Daniel Lanois at Kingsway Studio on Esplanade Avenue but shelved due to the consolidation of her previous label, A&M; and American Kid (New West), a piercing, startlingly pretty deliverance of her late father, who died while she was writing the album. It’s not all handkerchiefs and veils, however. On “Don’t Let Me Die in Florida,” the Maine native gives her magnificent voice over to the fears of those reared in a state where others go to expire: “Please don’t let me die in Florida/ I don’t care about my name/ If you catch me dying in Orlando/ Throw my bed onto a train.” Andrew Duhon opens. Tickets $25 in advance, $27 day of show. — NOAH BONAPARTE PAIS

The Fifth Estate

PAGE 51

Artwork by arcst Pauleee Lizano

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > OCTOBER 22 > 2013

In October 2006, famed computer hacker JuThe Fifth Estate (R) lian Assange founded WikiLeaks, an innovative Directed by web-based platform designed to allow anonyBill Condon mous submission of secret and often classiStarring Benedict fied information too hot for the mainstream media to handle directly. The site claims that Cumberbatch, Daniel within a year, it had received well over 1 million Bruhl, Laura Linney documents, many of which exposed corrupand Stanley Tucci tion and criminal activity at the highest levels Wide release of government and industry. But it took until 2010 for Assange and WikiLeaks to become household names through the release of 400,000 classified U.S. military files about the war in Iraq, along with a quarter-million secret and highly sensitive diplomatic cables. The events of that year provide the primary focus for The Fifth Estate, a “based-on-true-events” political thriller and character study that has trouble finding its footing despite a bounty of potential riches — high stakes, colorful characters and a perfect entry into the complex issues of privacy, security and transparency that characterize our time. Directed by Bill Condon, who’s known for critically acclaimed and Oscarwinning films like Gods and Monsters and Chicago. The Fifth Estate is based in part on books by two people who actually were not central to the long-term history of WikiLeaks: German tech specialist Daniel Domscheit-Berg (played in the film by Daniel Bruhl) and British journalist David Leigh. Combined with a conscious decision made by Condon and screenwriter Josh Singer (The West Wing) to compress events and invent composite characters, the source material leads The Fifth Estate into a murky netherworld between truth and fiction. The movie aims to include disparate points of view from people including U.S. diplomats to old-school journalists to hacker activists. But for much-needed drama, it winds up relying on the contentious (and largely fictionalized) friendship between Assange and Domscheit-Berg. There’s just not much there. It’s hard to blame the actors for that deficit. Benedict Cumberbatch (star of the brilliant BBC television series Sherlock) manages a real balancing act in his portrayal of Assange as a man whose talent and pluck are matched by enormous ego and a penchant for self-righteous rage. Cumberbatch’s measured performance actually makes the rest of the film suffer by comparison. Bruhl, fresh from his role as legendary racecar driver Niki Lauda in Rush (and who seems to have become Hollywood’s go-to guy for any character with a German accent) does as much as he can with a script that does little to humanize Domscheit-Berg. Laura Linney and Stanley Tucci — each of whom is capable of carrying a film — seem wasted here in the relatively minor roles of U.S. government officials grappling with WikiLeaks’ flood of illicit information. Perhaps The Fifth Estate’s most glaring issue is one shared by the Facebook drama The Social Network: it’s difficult to transform events that occur mainly in the virtual world of the Internet into an engaging feature film. There’s something hopelessly mundane about windows opening on a computer screen, no matter what their contents. At least the film draws attention to complex issues of free speech and social justice in the digital age — issues better explored, of course, on the web than at the movies. — KEN KORMAN

ART LISTINGS REVIEW

Water

THRU JAN

In south Louisiana, we know a thing or two about water. Not only are we surrounded by it, the air we breathe is often permeated with it, so our relationship with water is intimate. But intimate relationships often have elements of surprise, and while Edward Burtynsky’s photographs, which occupy two floors of gallery space at the Contemporary Arts Center (CAC), are often too spectacular to be truly intimate, they do pack a tsunami of surprises. His sweeping amphibious landscapes, whether all natural or shaped by human intervention, can be startlingly abstract, and if the proliferation of large-scale photographs in recent years has already shown us how painterly such images can be, many of Burtynsky’s works bear a striking resemblance to abstract canvases. Others reflect a more predictable documentary perspective, but even these can be boldly graphic. A view of water blasting from the massive concrete fastnesses of a Chinese dam is as extravagantly dramatic as any 19th-century romantic vision of Niagara Falls, only much more monumental. Similarly, Stepwell #4, a look into an excavation pit in India, suggests an inverted ziggurat, or maybe a maddening M.C. Escher drawing of staircases looping back infinitely upon themselves. Such ground-level vistas are far outnumbered by aerial shots like Navajo Reservation/Suburb, a bird’s eye view of the meandering sprawl of a Phoenix, Ariz., suburb divided from a vast empty desert at the fringe of the Navajo nation by an infinitely long, straight border. Pivot Irrigation #1, High Plains, Texas, looks strikingly like an early 1930s graphics experiment by the proto-modernist Bauhaus group, and Thjorsa River #1, Iceland (pictured), suggests an especially gorgeous Dorothea Tanning surrealist painting. Organized by New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA) photography curator Russell Lord, Water is a collaborative production of NOMA and the CAC. Similar Burtynsky works can be seen in a separate exhibition at the Arthur Roger Gallery. — D. ERIC BOOKHARDT

The Book of Mormon

THRU

OCT

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > OCTOBER 22 > 2013

The Book of Mormon 7:30 p.m. Tue.-Thu.; 8 p.m. Fri.; 2 p.m. & 8 p.m. Sat.; 1 p.m. & 6:30 p.m. Sun. Saenger Theatre, 1111 Canal St., 504-287-0351 www.saengernola.com

In Act 2 of The Book of Mormon, the bumbling but well-meaning young missionary Elder Cunningham (Christopher John O’Neill) prepares to baptize a young Ugandan woman, Nabulungi (Samantha Marie Ware), in a duet and dance that couldn’t more salaciously invoke a different sort of first-time experience. The two slip behind a curtain, and the silhouette of him slowly bending her backwards and lowering her to the water is lights-out funny. The Tony Award-winning musical is sacrilegious throughout and yet leaves some historical Mormon tenets surprisingly untouched, including polygamy. But while there are limits to the blasphemy, there are no boundaries on language, and a couple of songs, in spite of their joyous tone, could make some sailors — and more sensitive critics — blush. Given that the satirical musical comes from Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of South Park, and Robert Lopez, lyricist of the grown-up Sesame Street parody musical Avenue Q (with the song “The Internet is for Porn”), it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the work is outrageous in almost every way imaginable. But they crafted a show meant for a wide audience on Broadway, and the tone is as upbeat as the language is crass. It’s the contrast that makes some of the crudest declarations so funny. The Book of Mormon is an odd-couple story about missionaries sent to a remote area of Uganda to win converts. The overachieving Elder Price (Mark Evans) wanted to be sent to Orlando, Fla., and a backdrop of the Magic Kingdom is ripe for comparison to an earlier backdrop of the Mormon church’s iconic temple in Salt Lake City, Utah. Cunningham just wants to have a real friend and be accepted by others, and he’s loose with the facts when it’s convenient. They arrive in a remote area and meet the villagers and a corps of Mormon missionaries in full panic because they have not recruited a single convert. There literally aren’t any doorbells to ring, and the leader of the village, Mafala Hatimbi (Stanley Wayne Mathis), explains to the two newcomers, who have just been robbed, that the community is beset by poverty, AIDS and roving bands of warlords, including one (whose name is not printable here), who wants to make sure all the women undergo clitoral circumcision. Mafala tries to shelter his daughter Nabulungi from the warlord. Price and Cunningham are horrified by the array of plagues, and Mafala explains that the villagers have a simple saying to deal with hardship, which is an extremely vulgar ode to The Lion King’s “Hakuna Matata.” The lead actors all turn in fine performances. O’Neill’s questionable understanding of Mormonism and his mission is brilliantly mirrored by his clowning and physical humor. Evans delivered a sharp and nuanced performance, letting Price’s vanity shine without overplaying his pomposity. Ware offered a couple of powerful and brilliant solos, particularly in “Baptize Me.” The Book of Mormon has a very large cast and is full of big show-biz numbers, notably the Mormon boys singing “Turn It Off,” about suppressing all sorts of basic human feelings and urges; the pop-cultural extravaganza “Making Things Up Again”; and the hilariously vulgar and upbeat villagers’ account of the founding of the Mormon church, “Joseph Smith American Moses.” Many of the songs are catchy, even if they are not appropriate for church, work or family gatherings. The show is full of wonderfully subversive notions: Mormonism is feted as America’s religion — full of game-show appeal, corporate operating procedures and prizes. There’s something wickedly politically incorrect about an African village afflicted with all manner of environmental and social ills. But Act 2 and the overall musical aren’t really dark at all. Parker and Stone may have intended to go to Broadway to move the mountain, but they saw the light in the Great White Way, and it seems that they were the converts in delivering this hilariously irreverent and strangely uplifting show. — WILL COVIELLO
