SEVEN THINGS TO DO IN SEVEN DAYS

Snake charms The Snake Oil Festival features burlesque, sideshow acts and more BY WILL COVIELLO THE BURLESQUE SCENE is full of acts

featuring retro hairstyles, lingerie and costumes, revived acts such as the fan dance and jazz and big band music. Artist, dancer and part-time New Orleanian Angela Eve creates some outfits and routines inspired by old burlesque, but she came to the stage via rock ’n’ roll. “I was in OzzFest,” Eve says. “I produced a show for the village. It was Ozzy Osborne — like Lollapalooza but for heavy metal. It was edgier. I produced a burlesque sideshow — it was much more fetish oriented. I also made jewelry and had a booth in the artist village. But I was a festival performer for the first few years.” As a teenager, Eve traveled to Grateful Dead shows and later toured with rock and festival events, selling jewelry and getting into event production at a time when Dita Von Teese and Marilyn Manson brought rock and burlesque together. Burlesque became one of the main features of the shows Eve produced, as well as her performing career. At the Snake Oil Festival, she’ll perform her Dragon Lady act, which is inspired by classic rock, at “Hoochie Coochie Babylon” (9 p.m. Saturday). “It’s a rock ’n’ roll-driven act based on a dragon suit Jimmy Page wore in the ’70s,” Eve says. “It’s kind of a military suit with dragons on it and a 1940s military hat. It’s all handmade. It has a spy/military look at the beginning, but it’s based on the bravado of rock stars, with music from Jack White, Led Zeppelin and Alicia Keys.” Eve also will present a workshop (5 p.m. Sunday) on making costumes out of cheap materials. “Sometimes I am booked and get a big budget to work with,” she says. “Sometimes I have to work with less. I am really good at being resourceful

at finding supplies at Family Dollar and Dollar General to make a really cool headdress.” Eve’s fabrication workshop will show participants how to make a headdress for $30. The Snake Oil Festival combines all sorts of modern and retro burlesque and sideshow acts. In its third year, organizers are focusing more heavily

on burlesque. “I read tarot for a living,” says organizer Little Luna. “Number three in the tarot is the Empress, which is female energy, creativity and beauty. It’s ruled by Venus, so we thought it would be a good year to pay homage to women in the carnival scene, and part of that is burlesque.” The festival features three nights of showcases with music, burlesque, sideshow and variety acts. There is a vendor fair at the shows as well. The festival also includes seven workshops and classes on dance (high kicking; twerking and dancing to bounce music) and using hula hoops in an act. Burlesque dancer Val Valentine and James Taylor (www. shockedandamazed. com), a historian of variety, carny and novelty acts, lead a class on burlesque history at 7 p.m. Friday before the showcase. Valentine danced from the 1950s through the 1980s and was known as “Cupid’s Cutie.” Taylor is a regular at the Snake Oil Festival. He’ll also be at all the nightly showcases with displays on sideshows and with related books for sale. Festival headliners include Kitten de Ville (Saturday), who was part of the 1990s Los Angeles burlesque troupe Velvet Hammer and now performs in the U.S. and Europe. Vivacious Miss Audacious (Saturday) is a variety show performer from Michigan. Scarlette Revolver (Thursday) is known for using a hula hoop in some of her burlesque acts. The festival also features Dr. Sinn’s Freak Island Musical Sideshow (Friday) and drag and boylesque performers, including Johnny Nuriel (Saturday) and Isaiah Esquire (Thursday) from Portland, Oregon. Local performers in the festival include burlesque dancer Gogo McGregor (Saturday) and musician Doctor Sick (Thursday), who tours with the Squirrel Nut Zippers.

TUE. JUNE 13 | Swedes Christian Karlsson and Pontus WInnberg produced and wrote songs for an array of stars, including Madonna, Britney Spears and Kylie Minogue, before forming their own indie pop band with American singer-songwriter Andrew Wyatt. Its 2016 release, iii, delivers a polished but breezy flurry of ambient electropop. At 8:30 p.m. at Republic.

Girlpool THU. JUNE 15 | Scratching a dormant ’90s indie-rock itch on its second LP Powerplant (Anti-), Philadelphia-cum-Los Angeles duo Girlpool hits tenuous harmonies over twisting guitar crescendos like twin-female Conor Obersts covering Interstate 8-era Modest Mouse. Snail Mail and New Holland open at 9 p.m. at Republic.

Willy Wonka FRI. JUNE 16 | Magic Mike stars as Willy Wonka, Mamie Dame is Charlie and the Mystic Pony Aerial Troupe plays the Oompa Loompas in burlesque company Fleur de Tease’s version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. At 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. at One Eyed Jacks.

Aldous Harding SAT. JUNE 17 | The old saw about first impressions doesn’t apply to Aldous Harding. On her 4AD debut, May’s coming-out Party, the ethereal New Zealander makes nine of them: Cate Le Bon-like farmhouse folk, blurry saxophone slurs, underwater electronic percussion and bubble-popping background shouts. Sexy Dex and the Fresh and The Lostines open at 10 p.m. at Gasa Gasa.

Deacon John & The Ivories SAT. JUNE 17 | As a studio musician, guitarist Deacon John performed on a slew of hits by artists including Irma Thomas and Lee Dorsey. The 2017 Big Easy Lifetime Achievement award winner leads his band at 9 p.m. at Tipitina’s.

Weird Science Fair & Expo SAT. JUNE 17 | The Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus presents a science fair for all ages featuring science presentations, fringe science projects and sci-fi. The fair is a fundraiser to provide costumes for the 42nd Mobile Squadron, a subkrewe for children with limited mobility. Suggested donation $10. From noon to 5 p.m. at Castillo Blanco Art Studios.

LOUISIANA WAS LISTED AT THE VERY TOP OF THE WORST STATES in America for the unemployed in a new survey by the website 24/7 Wall St., which calculated the percentage of unemployed people receiving benefits; the percentage of the average weekly rate covered; the state’s unemployment rate; and the percentage of loss/growth in the state in 2016. Louisiana came in last, behind Alabama, Mississippi, Alaska and New Mexico. The data, which came from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, found the annual unemployment rate in the state to be 6.1 percent (the national percentage is 4.3), making it the third-highest in the U.S. “Several industries in Louisiana detracted from GDP growth in 2016, including finance, mining, and government, the largest sector by employment in the state,” the report concluded. — KEVIN ALLMAN

provided 70 “gently used” prom dresses for 25 girls at Algiers Technology Academy to wear to their senior prom. Lewis, an official in the New Orleans Police Department’s Fourth District, also recruited volunteers to help the girls with hair, makeup and other details to make their prom night memorable.

U.S. Rep. Clay Higgins

drew fire for his overthe-top rhetoric in a Facebook post in which he called Islamic radicals “heathen animals” and urged, “Kill them all. For the sake of all that is good and righteous. Kill them all.” That sort of bellicose talk made the New Orleans native famous when he was a cop in St. Landry Parish, but viral tough-guy boasting is counterproductive coming out of the mouth of a member of Congress.

Louisiana

is the worst state in the nation for children’s welfare, according to Save the Children. The respected nonprofit group used five metrics (homicides/suicides, infant mortality, graduation rates, food insecurity and teenage preg nancy) to rank all 50 states. Louisiana trailed Mississippi and New Mexico. The best states for children were New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

I-10 News on the move

LEGE SESSION ENDS IN CHAOS; NEW SESSION UNDERWAY State lawmakers failed to meet the June 8 deadline for adopting an operating budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1, and now they are meeting in a special session that will only deepen the state’s fiscal hole. In the final half-hour of the session, Democrats and a handful of Republicans in the House of Representatives attempted to force a vote on a compromise budget bill that state senators were prepared to pass, but despite getting a 53-vote majority in the mostly GOP House to support that idea, the budget never came to a vote. (For more on the session, see Clancy DuBos’ annual “Da Winnas and Da Loozas” column, p. 10.) Instead, the session ended chaotically and seemed to harden partisan feelings among members of both political parties. There were whispers of a move to oust GOP House Speaker Taylor Barras of New Iberia, but the House quickly adjourned until Monday right after gaveling in the special session. Barras came under fire recently for allegedly being controlled by ultra-conservative GOP state Reps. Cameron Henry of Jefferson and Lance Harris of Alexandria. Henry ran for speaker last year but could not muster a majority; Barras was installed as a compromise speaker. Harris chairs the Republican Legislative Delegation. After the regular session ended, Gov. John Bel Edwards, a Democrat, called the House’s meltdown “an epic failure in leadership.” He added, “We’re now headed into an unnecessary and costly special session where the options before them won’t be any different than they were this time.” The special session, which costs about $60,000 per day, must end by June 19.

2. Quote of the week “Now I can go down to my overpriced Capitol Hill grocery this afternoon and choose among about six different types of mayonnaise. How come I can’t do that for my kid?” — U.S. Sen. John Neely Kennedy, addressing U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos during a Senate Appropriations committee last week in the latest memorable Kennedy sound bite. Like DeVos, Kennedy is a proponent of taxpayer-funded school vouchers for

private schools. U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy, a Democrat from Connecticut, answered Kennedy’s question shortly thereafter. “With all due respect to my colleague from Louisiana, education is not mayonnaise,’’ Murphy said. “Frankly, the day we start treating the education of our children like the marketing of our condiments is the day we have given up on our kids.” (USA Today reported that Murphy’s explanation came too late; Kennedy already had left the committee hearing.)

head to governor’s desk for signature

Louisiana legislators took steps to broaden and strengthen the state’s anti-domestic violence laws last week. House Bills 27, 223 and 509 soon will become law. HB 27, by state Rep. Pat Connick, R-Marrero, accords protection to domestic abuse victims who are involved in same-sex relationships. HB 223, by state Rep. Helena Moreno, D-New Orleans, expands the state’s domestic violence laws to cover dating partners. Current law restricts the criminal charge to offenders who are married or living with the victim — and it only covers victims of the opposite sex from the offender. Offenders who are not living with or married to their victim can only be charged with simple battery. Moreno’s bill also provides for stronger sentences for strangulation, burning or the presence of a firearm, as well as access to domestic abuse intervention programs. HB 509, by state Rep. John Schroder, R-Covington, enhances penalties for violators of protective orders for offenses committed with or without violence. A first-time violator breaching an order without committing violence could be fined up to $500 and imprisoned for up to six months. On a second offense, the criminal could be fined up to $1,000 and imprisoned between two weeks and two years. The bill takes an even stronger stance against offenses involving violence, including imprisoning the offender for three months to two years on a first offense and from one to five years on subsequent offenses. Additionally, the bill bars defendants from contacting victims or their family members while a case is pending. — KATIE GAGLIANO | MANSHIP SCHOOL NEWS SERVICE

4. Schroder steps down from Legislature to run for state treasurer

After nine years of representing St. Tammany Parish, state Rep. John Schroder, R-Covington, resigned from the House last week to run for state treasurer. Others expected to run include state Rep. Julie Stokes, R-Kenner, state Sen. Neil Riser, R-Columbia, and former Commissioner of Administration Angele Davis. Schroder told colleagues he didn’t want there to be questions about where his attention lies. He hinted at the impending ramp-up in his campaigning, touching on issues he’s advocated in the Legislature

The rent is too damn high, says national report Eighteen dollars and 54 cents per hour. That’s what the average worker now needs to earn to afford a “modest” two-bedroom apartment in New Orleans, according to Out of Reach: The High Cost of Housing, a national survey released last week by the National Low Income Housing Coalition and the Greater New Orleans Fair Housing Action Center (GNOFHAC). Louisiana as a whole fell in the middle of housing affordability rates, with wage earners needing $16.16 per hour to pay for a two-bedroom house or apartment. (The most expensive state is Hawaii, where renters need to earn $35.20 per hour.) The report gauged rental affordability as 30 percent of a worker’s income. “In no state can a person working full time at the federal minimum wage afford a two-bedroom apartment at the Fair Market Rent,” the report said. “In only 12 counties can a full-time worker earning the prevailing federal or state minimum wage afford a one-bedroom rental home.” “It is becoming harder and harder for musicians, restaurant workers, and other tourist industry professionals to live in our city,” GNOFHAC Executive Director Cashauna Hill said in a statement. “New Orleans needs innovative solutions, like the Smart Housing Mix policy in front of the City Council, to ensure wage-earners aren’t pushed out.” In the recently concluded Louisiana legislative session, an attempt to set a minimum wage higher than the national dictate ($7.25 per hour) once again was shot down.

‘State of the city’ address set for June 14 Mayor Mitch Landrieu will deliver his annual “State of the City” address at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, June

14 at the Civic Theatre, at a time when violent crime is spiking and his administration has been under criticism from various quarters, including District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro’s office, Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and even former New Orleans Police Department Chief Ronal Serpas, whose Twitter account of late has been highlighting violent crime. (Serpas, now a professor of criminal justice at Loyola University, is said to be mulling the race for Orleans Parish Sheriff.) Previous state of the city addresses have launched programs like Landrieu’s much-vaunted “NOLA For Life,” which attempted to bring all the city’s crimefighting strategies under one large umbrella. No advance word about what Landrieu will focus on during this year’s speech. The term-limited mayor leaves office next year.

7. Suckers for seersucker Wondering why you saw U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein in a blue seersucker jacket last week at the Congressional hearing of former FBI Director James Comey? It was National Seersucker Day, an initiative re-introduced into the U.S. House of Representatives in 2014 by thenRep. Bill Cassidy, and continued by Cassidy in the Senate after his election there. Cassidy sent out photos of U.S. Sens. Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker of Mississippi, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, Johnny Isakson of Georgia and Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia all wearing their seersucker best last Thursday. “It’s fun for me because we get to celebrate something invented in New Orleans,” Cassidy said. National Seersucker Day originally was introduced in 1996 by thenSen. Trent Lott of Mississippi. True to Washington D.C.’s conservative dress, however, all of the senators wore traditional blue, rather than donning Easter-egg pink or yellow seersucker at the Capitol.

8. Moreno to head

Louisiana Legislative Women’s Caucus

State Rep. Helena Moreno, D-New Orleans, was elected last week to chair the Louisiana Legislative Women’s Caucus, a nonprofit comprising women legislators whose aim is to prepare and develop women leaders. The new board, which will be installed July 1, also includes state Rep. Barbara Carpenter, D-Baton Rouge as vice-chair (taking the spot currently held by state Rep. Julie Stokes, R-Kenner).

9 Moreno, who has announced her intention to run for a New Orleans City Council At-Large seat in the fall elections, has advocated women’s rights in the Legislature and authored bills addressing equal pay, domestic violence and other issues. There are 22 women serving in the Louisiana legislature out of 144 total seats.

Voodoo Fest lineup released Kendrick Lamar, Foo Fighters, The Killers, LCD Soundsystem, DJ Snake, The Head and the Heart, Kehlani, Prophets of Rage, Cold War Kids, Marian Hill and The Afghan Whigs are some of the 70 bands headlining the 2017 Voodoo Music + Arts Experience, which will take place in New Orleans City Park Oct. 27-29. Among the local acts on the bill are Flow Tribe and Unicorn Fukr. Voodoo also is promising largescale art installations, along with food booths from New Orleans restaurants and an “interactive haunted house.” The 19th annual festival has three levels of ticketing this year, with three-day general admission starting at $140 and three-day “Loa VIP” tickets starting at $400. New this year is a “platinum level” ticket ($1,050 for three days), which includes complimentary catered meals, an open bar, shuttle transport between stages and “air-conditioned, flushable restrooms.” Tickets are on sale now at www. voodoofestival.com.

10. Two music tours

cancel New Orleans stops

Two big music tours — both set to come to the Shrine on Airline in late June and early July — were canceled last week. The Outlaw Music Festival, a summer all-star tour of roots musicians led by Willie Nelson, will not be kicking off at the Shrine on Airline July 1 as previously announced; instead it will begin in Dallas July 2. The explanation: a “scheduling conflict.” The New Orleans stop was to include Nelson, The Avett Brothers, Sheryl Crow and Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real. More dates have been added to the original sixstop Outlaw tour, but a reschedule in New Orleans isn’t among them. Also a no-go: the Vans Warped Tour of hardcore, punk and metal bands, which was set to play the Shrine on Airline June 28. Refunds for both shows are available at the point of purchase.

3. Domestic violence bills

and his personal efforts to improve the budget process. Schroder’s resignation takes effect at the end of the special session, which means he will be part of the budgeting process for the fiscal year that begins July 1. State lawmakers failed to adopt a budget by the end of the regular annual session last week, so they now must meet in a special session to do that part of their jobs. Qualifying for the treasurer’s race is July 12-14. The primary will be held Oct. 14, with a runoff (if necessary) Nov. 18. — KATIE GAGLIANO | MANSHIP SCHOOL NEWS SERVICE

CLANCY DUBOS @clancygambit

Da Winnas & Da Loozas THE PARTISAN DIVIDE IN THE LOUISIANA LEGISLATURE is more

palpable than ever, especially in the House of Representatives. Whether you call it Washington-style politics or something else, there’s no denying that the days of lawmakers putting their differences aside and getting along on a personal level are fading fast. That makes legislating look like something even bloodier than making sausage. When the House adjourned last week amid a ham-fistedly orchestrated meltdown — which was designed to prevent a vote on the state operating budget — it was obvious that most of the carnage (and most of the bloodletting) came at the hands of the House GOP leadership. That made Gov. John Bel Edwards look like a “winna” even though the governor suffered his share of defeats on other fronts. Speaking of other fronts, one of the bright spots of the session was the bipartisan effort to enact meaningful criminal justice reform — a heroic feat that proved lawmakers are indeed capable of working together when they put their minds to it (and put partisan political agendas aside). All of which brings us to our annual review of the triumphs and slaughters — Da Winnas and Da Loozas — which we’ve done for more than 30 years now. Let’s start with …

PH OTO BY ZR FPH OTO

DA WINNAS 1. Business interests — The Louisiana Association of Business and Industry (LABI) and other business groups led the fight to defeat Edwards’ proposed commercial activity tax (CAT), which was akin to shooting fish in a barrel, but they did it handily nonetheless. LABI also flexed its muscle on equal pay and minimum wage bills. 2. New Orleans — The city mostly played defense this year, and it did that very well, beating back the socalled “sanctuary cities” bill, the Confederate monuments bill, and a bill to bar cities from requiring residential developers to include affordable housing in their projects. The city also helped defeat a controversial bill (pushed by Uber and Lyft) to prohibit local governments from regulating internet-based transportation network companies. 3. TOPS scholars — The governor, the House and the Senate support fully funding the beloved TOPS college scholarship program, but that remains to be done as next year’s budget hasn’t passed yet. Meanwhile, lawmakers refused to tinker with the program’s GPA requirements.

DA LOOZAS 1. Fiscal Reform Advocates — Despite all the talk last year (after passing a temporary sales tax hike) about addressing the “fiscal cliff” this year, lawmakers and Gov. Edwards declined even to consider supporting a package of tax reforms recommended by a blue-ribbon committee of experts who spent almost a year studying and drafting tax reform proposals. As one senator told me early on, “There’s just no appetite for fiscal reform.” Really? Do our elected leaders think taxpayers hunger for what we have now? 2. Public Hospitals & Mental Health Advocates — Like an old, badly scratched LP record that skips and keeps playing the same few bars over and over, the annual budgets for Louisiana’s public hospitals and mental health programs keep getting cut and cut and cut and cut and … The saddest part of this refrain is that state dollars spent on public health get leveraged up several times by matching federal dollars, which exacerbates the impact of cutting state allocations. The real losers here are Louisiana’s poor and the mentally ill, who can ill afford these cuts. 3. The Working Poor — A bill to raise the minimum wage in Louisiana — and only minimally at that — was

4. Domestic violence victims — Same sex couples and dating partners won coverage under Louisiana’s domestic abuse laws thanks to bills by state Reps. Helena Moreno of New Orleans and Pat Connick of Marrero. 5. District attorneys — They held out for concessions on the package of criminal justice reforms, and in the end they got what they wanted: reforms that focus on nonviolent offenders. All efforts to revise Louisiana’s felony sentencing laws were postponed until next year … or later. 6. Louisiana filmmakers — Lawmakers extended Louisiana’s film tax credit program to 2025 while also maintaining the program’s $180 million spending cap, which was set to expire next year. 7. Students with disabilities — This one hurts because it’s absurd that Louisiana took this long to prohibit schools from administering corporal punishment to children who are disabled. The same can’t be said for other students — that’s still up to local school boards. Sheesh! 8. Gov. John Bel Edwards — The governor won and lost some key battles, but he’s a winna this year by default because of the House’s

chaotic final minutes. The Lower Chamber’s meltdown proved that Edwards has been right all along in saying that a band of ultraconservative House Republicans, led by Appropriations Chair Cameron Henry and GOP Delegation Chair Lance Harris, are hellbent on trying to embarrass him at all costs. “They just need to grow up,” Edwards sniped after the session’s messy end. He also wins because he has forced them into a special session to do the job they refused to do by June 8 — and voters are getting that message. Elsewhere, Edwards helped secure passage of all 10 criminal justice reform bills (which needed GOP support) and major opioid prescription reforms. The governor’s GOP opponents no doubt will crow that he lost all tax measures — particularly his ill-fated CAT — as well as bills seeking equal pay for women and minimum wage hikes. That is all true, which is why he only wins by default. Job One for lawmakers every year is to pass an operating budget and a construction budget. The GOP-majority Legislature failed to do either task, thereby ceding the high ground to Edwards. Which brings us to …

beat down by business interests and conservatives. Senate Bill 153 by Sen. Troy Carter (D-Algiers) would have increased the state’s minimum wage from $7.25 to $8.50 over a twoyear period. 4. Working Women — Once again, bills intended to enhance Louisiana’s equal pay laws got clobbered but business interests and conservatives. 5. Attorney General Jeff Landry — He has been the leading advocate for enacting a “sanctuary cities” law, and for the second year in a row he lost this fight. Landry’s histrionics in support of the bill are making him a clownish figure. On the budget front, the AG and his legislative allies struck a deal with Edwards to get $2.7 million of $5.3 million held in escrow (most of it since last year), and Landry is expected to drop his lawsuit seeking the entire amount. 6. Death Penalty Opponents — Sen. Dan Claitor of Baton Rouge and Rep. Terry Landry of New Iberia made valiant but doomed efforts to end Louisiana’s death penalty. If there’s a consolation prize, lawmakers passed a version of criminal justice reform that will give 131 elderly inmates who were convicted of second-degree murder decades ago a (long) shot at parole. 7. Metro Baton Rouge — Defeat of the proposed gasoline tax hit the

Capital Area hardest because of metro Baton Rouge’s chronic traffic issues, but the tax’s demise affects all corners of the state. Despite staunch support from business interests, the tax could not garner enough votes even after it had been watered down. 8. Traffic Scofflaws — Lawmakers passed a bill prohibiting drivers from applying “a covering or any substance to the license plate” or using any device or film that “obscures from any angle the numbers, characters, year registration sticker, or name of the jurisdiction issuing the plate.” So much for beating those traffic cameras. 9. Higher Ed — Even in the kinder, gentler budget passed by the Senate and favored by Edwards, public colleges and universities got a standstill budget for the new fiscal year, which many took as great news. However, that’s only the case if the budget stalemate breaks in favor of Edwards and the Senate, which remains to be seen. No matter what the budgetary outcome, state funding for higher ed in Louisiana will continue to rank last or second-to-last on a per-pupil basis. Which should make us all feel like loozas. Now for the really bad news: Next year, things are likely to get even more partisan.

COMMENTARY

ON JUNE 3, WHEN SEVEN PEOPLE IN ENGLAND WERE KILLED IN A TERRORIST ATTACK on

and around London Bridge, New Orleans saw a mass shooting on Tulane Avenue that killed three people and injured two others. The shooting total for that day around our city: 13 people. Now imagine if the prime minister of England had used that example of local violence as a pretext to call out Mayor Mitch Landrieu for America’s rate of gun violence. That’s pretty much what President Donald Trump did to London Mayor Sadiq Khan after the London Bridge attack. While most of the rest of the world (including Gov. John Bel Edwards, Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser and Landrieu) expressed sympathy and support for England, Trump tweeted, “At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is ‘no reason to be alarmed!’” Actually, Khan had said Britons had “no reason to be alarmed” if they saw an extra security presence on the streets in coming days, but Trump — in advance of a planned state visit to England — doubled down, calling Khan’s explanation a “pathetic excuse.” Is that the way America treats an ally and friend who has experienced a misfortune? Americans would have been outraged if a foreign leader attempted to score political points via Twitter after the Boston Marathon bombing or the Pulse nightclub shooting. It’s no surprise that Britons feel the same way these days. Our hearts go out to them. It’s only five months into the Trump presidency, but already there are bellwether signs that international tourism is slumping since his election and inauguration. Jeff Glueck, CEO of the travel analysis firm Foursquare, wrote last month, “Our findings reveal that America’s ‘market share’ in international tourism started to decline in October 2016, when the U.S. tourism share fell by 6 percent year-over-year, and continued to decrease through March

2017, when it dropped all the way to minus-16 percent. Currently, there is no sign of recovery in the data.” Another study, by Bloomberg, concluded, “There may be a negative Trump effect on tourism to the U.S., but at this point it seems more likely to be a modest drag than an anvil to the head.” That “anvil” may be found in Trump’s proposed budget, which eliminates all funding for Brand USA, which promotes international tourism at the federal level. Funding for Brand USA comes from visa applica-

Is that the way America treats an ally and friend who has experienced a misfortune? tion dollars, and the tourism industry matches funds — meaning no tax dollars are involved. Trump proposes to spend Brand USA’s $93 million on the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) — a plan that has been denounced widely by hoteliers and others in the tourism industry. New Orleans, like many American cities, depends heavily on tourism. Equally important, America depends on comity with its longtime allies. Given Trump’s pattern of behavior toward the nations closest to us, tourism marketing will be a hard sell even with a full budget. When you insult your friends, you shouldn’t be surprised if they start avoiding you.

Hey Blake, I can find a bunch of information about Paul Capdevielle, but very little about the pocket park on Esplanade Avenue that bears his name. It seems to have been named for him while he was still mayor of New Orleans due to his work improving City Park. Do you have any more of its history? CHARLIE LONDON

Dear Charlie, Capdevielle Place, the triangle of land in the 2600 block of Esplanade Avenue, near North Broad Street and bordered by Crete and Bell streets, was purchased by the Esplanade Avenue Commission for $1,500, The Times-Picayune reported in 1900. “It was decided by the commission to name the park in honor of the president of the commission, the Hon. Paul Capdevielle, also mayor of the city,” the newspaper article said. The triangle resulted from an expansion of Esplanade Avenue that left an oddly shaped lot. A resident of the avenue, Capdevielle had just been sworn in as

mayor that year. He was born in New Orleans in 1842 and graduated from Jesuit High School and Louisiana State University. A lawyer and insurance executive, Capdevielle’s political history began in 1877, when he was appointed to the local school board. Elected mayor in 1899, his major achievements included installation of the modern sewerage system and organization of the Public Belt Railroad. He served as mayor for just one term, but was president of New Orleans City Park for 26 years, from 1896 to 1922. According to historians Sally and William Reeves’ History of City Park: New Orleans, Capdevielle’s “skill in accommodating divergent political factions was his great stock-in-trade. ... As mayor and park president, Capdevielle could bring the full force of his prestige to address the park’s utilitarian needs.” When he left the mayor’s office, Capdevielle was appointed state auditor. He died on Aug. 13, 1922. A one-block street in the CBD bears a misspelled version of his name, as well as the restaurant, Capdeville.

BLAKEVIEW JUNE IS NATIONAL ICED TEA MONTH, and that has us thinking about a local

company that is the No. 2 seller of tea in the United States: Luzianne. It is a branch of Reily Foods Company, founded in 1902 by William B. Reily, a wholesale grocer from Monroe. He moved to New Orleans to create a coffee company, which became Wm. B. Reily & Company Inc., until recently headquartered on Magazine Street. Tea was added to the product line in the 1930s. As a young actress, Betty White did early TV commercials for Luzianne Coffee (“in the bright white can”) in the 1950s, and singer Burl Ives is remembered for his commercials for Luzianne tea bags in the 1970s. “Clear as a bell all day,” he would say, solidifying the company’s marketing campaign as a product made specifically for iced tea. Reily Foods remains headquartered here and, in addition to Luzianne, makes and sells CDM and French Market coffees, Blue Plate mayonnaise (which it acquired in 1974) and many other products.

aroma of beef and onions sizzling slowly on the stove usually does the trick. One moment, she’ll be sitting in a brightly lit Kenner restaurant, and an instant after the smell hits her she’s right back at her childhood home in La Ceiba, Honduras, watching her mother slicing onions and pounding steaks for her favorite dish, bistec encebollado. For Araujo, who was born in Honduras but grew up in New Orleans, the savory beef dish smothered with caramelized onions is more than just a Bistec encebollado memory — it’s a calling. The prepared by Araujo. chef and owner of Saveur Catering, a farm-to-table catering company, has worked at restaurants all over the city, but it’s at her Honduran-themed pop-up, Alma, where Araujo educates diners about the dishes of her homeland. At Alma, Araujo hosts events that include popups and multi-course chef’s dinners where she prepares traditional Honduran dishes with the finesse of a tenured chef. That might include her version of bistec encebollado, fresh ceviches and a tres leches cake. “There’s a misunderstanding of what Honduran cuisine is, and it’s not that simple,” Araujo says. “To PAGE 14

really get Honduran cuisine is to understand the way we were colonized, from small Mayan tribes, to the Spanish, to the African slaves who populated the coast, and even the English who colonized (neighboring) Belize.” The result is a diverse, multifaceted cuisine that’s as varied as the Central American country itself, from the corn — and masa-heavy dishes of the mountainous highlands to seafood and the coconut-rich soups of the north coast and Bay Islands.

“To really get Honduran cuisine is to understand the way we were colonized, from small Mayan tribes, to the Spanish, to the African slaves who populated the coast, and even the English who colonized (neighboring) Belize.”

NEW ORLEANS IS HOME TO AN INCREASING NUMBER OF HONDURAN RESTAURANTS, the result

of a boom in the city’s Central American population over the past decade. Since 2000, the percentage of Hispanics in the city increased from 3.1 percent to 5.6 percent. Nowhere was that as evident as in Jefferson Parish, where Hispanics now represent 14.2 percent of the total population, according to The Data Center, a New Orleans-based data analysis group. At 34 percent of that total, Hondurans are the most populous Hispanic group in the metro area, according to the Data Center. Though the most recent wave of Hondurans immigrated to the city in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and the federal levee failures, New Orleans traditionally has been an attractive hub for immigrants from that country. Mayra Pineda, president and CEO of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in Louisiana, says the current population is the result of at least three generations of Hondurans, beginning with workers who arrived in the late 1800s and early 1900s with companies like Standard Fruit & Steamship Co. and United Fruit Company, both of which had headquarters in New Orleans.

“Those people started establishing ties here and having kids. That’s the second generation,” Pineda says, adding that Hondurans came to New Orleans for a variety of reasons in the following years. The later wave was more “need-based,” she says, with immigrants arriving to pursue the American dream and a better job, or fleeing a country that throughout the years has seen an increasingly volatile political atmosphere rife with corruption and violence. Repairing damages from Hurricane Katrina created a new demand for workers, and as part of the rebuilding effort, the city saw another large group of immigrants from Central and South America move to the city to take construction jobs in the years following the storm. Restaurants catering to those workers were quick to follow. Marlen Nunez remembers the days after the storm, when construction workers would line up at dawn outside her tiny Honduran restaurant Beraca, which is tucked away on Arnoult Road in Metairie. “Sometimes there would be fights outside, people trying to get in before the others,” Nunez recalls. “Back then, we had 20 people working at the restaurant and we were so busy we could still hardly keep up.” Now, more than a decade later, Nunez’s restaurant still serves as a hub for Hondurans seeking familiar and comforting cuisine. A small window opens into the kitchen, where women stretch dough for tortillas. In the dining room, families gather at tables over giant plates of pescado frito, a fried whole fish (often tilapia or redfish) served with rice and refried beans, salad, sweet plantains and a shower of pickled jalapenos, carrots and onions. It’s one of several places Araujo frequents when she’s feeling homesick. Her other go-to, La Cocinita, sits on a nondescript stretch of Veterans Memorial Boulevard in Kenner, sandwiched between an electronics store and a tattoo parlor in a strip mall. At La Cocinita, brothers Ricardo and Raul Ortiz run the show, carrying giant plates of crispy-fried pollo con tajadas, chicken plated atop fried green plantains and tucked under a mountain of pickled cabbage and queso fresco.

Like the ubiquitous pickled vegetable mix — a bright, tangy mix made with an apple cider vinegar brine — most dishes at many of the Honduran mainstays are accompanied by an addictively creamy, light pink sauce (which Araujo playfully calls “crack sauce”). Similar to Thousand Island dressing, but thinner, it’s made with ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise and herbs and complements just about everything.

the metro area, and many of the restaurants that dot the thoroughfares of Metairie and Kenner market themselves as one-stop shops, boasting a hodgepodge of culinary influences including Honduran, Mexican, Salvadoran, Nicaraguan and Guatemalan dishes. This casts a wide enough net to attract patrons from multiple backgrounds and demographics, but in many cases it also reflects the makeup of the restaurant’s owners and staff. At Sabores De Mi H, a Latin grocery-cum-restaurant off Williams Boulevard, residents and workers pop in early for the desayuno especial, especial a full Honduran breakfast spread with eggs, black beans, queso fresco, fresh avocado, seared steak or chicken and plenty of crema — that magical Central American condiment that tastes like a cross between American sour cream and French creme fraiche. At La Cocina de Karla,, which opened late last year on Williams Boulevard near 38th Street, you’ll find a mix of Latin American dishes — including cheese and beef filled-pupusas — and a list of rotating daily specials, like the pierna al cerdo al horno, a juicy, cumin-scented slow-roasted pork leg. Outside Jefferson

Parish, Honduran restaurants mostly are found on the West Bank and in New Orleans East (although Kenner’s long-running Los Catrachos opened a Mid-City outpost last year, and there are a few others). At El Sabor Catracho, in Terrytown, servers hustle giant plates of pollo guisado, a fragrant stewed chicken dish, and giant bowls of steaming caldo de res, a hearty beef soup flavored with beef bones and marrow and full of soft strips of steak and vegetables. African and Caribbean influences are central to the dishes found on Honduras’ northern coast, which is home to the indigenous Garifuna community, descendants of Africans and Native Americans. La Casa Honduras, which has two locations in New Orleans East, on Crowder Boulevard and Alcee Fortier Boulevard, is strongly influenced by the Garifuna tradition. Many of the dishes here are representative of the country’s coastal cuisine, rich with seafood, plantains, and coconut milk. It’s also one of the only restaurants in town where the potent Garifuna liqueur guifiti is sold. It’s a powerful herb- and root-infused elixir that packs a punch and is said to have digestive qualities. Then there are makeshift restaurants and pop-ups, like Alma, which occupy a less formal dining sector. At El Obraje II, a

THE IMMIGRANT STORY for the Hispan-

ic population in New Orleans is constantly changing, a mosaic of different cultures that have worked hard to find common ground while both assimilating and maintaining their own identities. It’s by no means a homogenous group (try bringing soccer into the conversation and watch how fast lines are drawn in the sand), but the cuisines share many ingredients and similar cooking styles. At Kenner’s Fiesta Latina, for instance, owner Delmy Cruz hails from El Salvador, her husband is from Mexico and the restaurant’s kitchen is staffed almost exclusively by Hondurans. Though the menu traverses several Central American countries, the kitchen’s prowess with Honduran specialties is clear. Here, crunchy bits of pork belly and rind or chicharrones arrive sidling fried bits of yuca, pickled cabbage and nibs of salty queso fresco. Sopa de mariscos, a seafood stew that’s sweetened and thickened with coconut milk, arrives brimming with conch, shrimp, crab and clams. Juicy pieces of carne asada round out a plate of refried beans sprinkled with queso fresco, Spanish-fried rice and golden-fried maduros, sweet plantains that taste of caramel and brown sugar. Almost everything arrives showered with pickled onions and carrots and a few lime wedges, all of which provide a requisite acidic pop. It’s also where Araujo goes for that perfect bistec encebollado when she finds herself missing home. “It’s all about that memory,” Araujo says. “Coming to eat here is like being in my mother’s kitchen, and that’s what makes it so special. It’s like coming home.”

WHAT’S IN STORE

New Zars in town

BY PADMINI PARTHASARATHY AT RESTAURANT DES FAMILLES (7163 Barataria Blvd., Crown Point, 504-689-7834, www.desfamilles. com), diners can peer out over Bayou des Familles while enjoying classic Creole and Cajun dishes. Co-owners Bryan and Brooke Zar focus on modern takes on classic dishes. “The lady who started (the restaurant) was Patricia Morrow,” Bryan says. “Her background was as a schoolteacher. She knew the people who owned this house on the property where the restaurant now sits. Unfortunately, there was a fire and the house burned down. She made an offer to purchase the property, which she did, and she had the perfect idea to put a restaurant here, knowing that the bayou in the back would make a great backdrop.” Bryan was hired as a busboy at the restaurant when he was 16 years old, and he considered Morrow a mentor. In 2009, the Zars purchased the property. “One day [Morrow] called me and told me she needed to retire and she wanted to sell the restaurant,” Bryan says. “My wife and I were able to figure out an agreement where we came in and purchased it.” The Zars worked in corporate restaurants such as Houston’s Steakhouse in San Francisco before purchasing and refurbishing the much smaller Restaurant des Familles. It was their opportunity to leave the corporate world behind and own a personal and intimate space, Brooke says. “For the past eight years we’ve been renovating, modernizing, updating the menu while trying to stay true to the Creole roots,” Bryan says. The Zars bought new, modern furniture, renovated the bar and installed a courtyard patio with a stone fireplace and a garden. The restaurant soon will offer outdoor dining. Plans to build a pavilion with an area for a band and a small dance floor also are in the works. “We’ve done a lot of modernization with the menu as well,” Brooke says. “Some things can’t change. The gumbos and the jambalayas are still (prepared traditionally), but we’ve included options that are gluten free, vegan, and pescatarian. We can now offer many of our dish-

es in that style or allergen-free.” Restaurant des Familles gets its seafood about twice weekly from Higgins Seafood in nearby Lafitte. The Zars have good relationships with local fishermen. They also added alligator to the restaurant menu after several customer requests. “We get a lot of referrals from swamp tours in the area,” Bryan says. “One of the requests we al-

ways get from out-of-town (guests) is that they want to try alligator. We put our heads together and came up with a dish.” “I want people from out of town to feel like they’ve experienced Louisiana,” Brooke says. “A lot of people come and experience the city [of New Orleans], but a short drive away, we’re all about the swamp tours and the local fishermen.”

Neyow’s Creole Cafe in Mid-City BY H E L E N F R E U N D @helenfreund FROM SEVERAL BLOCKS AWAY, I could see the line snaking out the door and spilling onto the street, where groups of people huddled under awnings to avoid the rain, clutching waiting-list buzzers and sipping from giant go-cups. Once inside Neyow’s Creole Cafe, it took about 10 minutes to reach the host stand, and even on a Saturday night, this felt excessive. It shouldn’t have, though. But then, and at several points during my meal, I thought that at a time when many restaurants are struggling, there are still places that are doing just fine. It was a comforting thought. Yes, there was a wait, and it took a while to get drinks and food, but once dishes started to arrive, all was forgiven, because the food was that good. About those drinks: Those go-cups held Bow Wow fruit punch, a near-lethal rum drink topped off with bright red, sugary punch (order the Top Shelf Bow Wow and four types of flavored Ciroc vodka find their way into your cup).

not sure how anyone could drink more than one of these, but for those who dare, there’s a disclaimer with a skull and bones emblem behind the bar. Judging by the young man who fell out of his chair during one visit and the fact that many patrons were clasping the same bright red drink, I’m guessing I wasn’t the only one having a good time. In the far corner of the room, where large windows overlook Bienville Street, a chef holds court. Working over an open flame, he is a one-man show as he grills oysters, which are served dripping with garlicky, smoky, buttery sauce. Requesting extra bread is necessary. The liquid that pools at the bottom of the pan just begs to be sopped up. The kitchen offers succulent fried crabmeat patties, with crab wrapped around crawfish tails served with a thick, tangy remoulade. The crowded dining room confirms that this is a destination for many folks, a quintessential neighborhood restaurant with Creole home cooking at its unassuming best.

a bite. The filling is thick and creamy, heavy with crab and light on breading. Barbecue Gulf shrimp arrive piled high, swimming in a bowl of buttery, slightly sweet Worcestershire-tinged sauce and served with crusty French bread. True Southern comfort appears in the portion sizes (as in giant platters of creamy red beans topped with fried chicken or pork chops) and downhome sides, such as the pale orange mound of macaroni and cheese — a redeeming homage to the all-American picnic staple. This dish is the kind you’re embarrassed to love but love madly nonetheless. The potato salad with its vinegary, mashed potato-like consistency fared less well. A large square of bread pudding is topped with a thick white glaze. It doesn’t look like much at first, but the soft pudding-like texture of the dessert almost melts in your mouth. It’s the perfect way to cap an indulgent night out here. It might take a second to recover — or after a Bow Wow, even to remember — but you’ll be pretty sure you had a good time.

Tevin Clark graduated from Liberty’s Kitchen in 2010 and went on to work at several restaurants for six years. His experience at Liberty’s Kitchen prepared him to go back to school and study his passion, visual art. Liberty’s Kitchen made that possible, he says. “Most of all, it teaches you hard work and dedication,” Clark says. “It teaches you how to finish an assignment that was assigned to you and how to be a leader. I thank them for that every chance I get,” BreAnn Pieklo graduated from the program on June 2. “Liberty’s Kitchen taught me being in work, being myself, having a voice, learning about cooking and also (how to work) in a stressful environment,” Pieklo said. The lasting impacts of the program for her went beyond the kitchen. “Between our extern- and internship, they have us do resume and cover letters, and I learned more computer skills,” Pieklo said. Dean Falgoust, president of Freeport-McMoRan Services, reached out to Liberty’s Kitchen to revitalize the building’s cafeteria. “I think [when] it started out,

Liberty’s Kitchen is a nonprofit organization that “provides New Orleans’ young people with pathways to create and achieve their vision of success through workforce training, leadership development, and support of healthy lifestyles,” according to its mission statement. The organization offers job training to 100 young adults per year and provides ongoing support and leadership development to alumni. It serves 3,500 nutritious school meals daily at its partner school sites. At the grand opening, Youth Success Director Dennis Bagneris said the new location will help young people build on what they learned at the Broad Street location. “We want to be able to get them to come into these environments and work hand-in-hand with the people who are actually running, organizing and maintaining this business so they get a sense of understanding what it means to run, organize and maintain this kind of business,” Bagneris said.

we were just brainstorming about looking for a different way to do things with the cafeteria,” Falgoust says. “We were aware of Liberty’s Kitchen. It’s one of the charities that we support through United Way and other organizations.” Liberty Kitchen Executive Director David Emond summed up the focus of the Poydras location. “We are not in the business of making sure that our favorite restaurants have line cooks and dishwashers,” Emond says. “We are in the business of making sure that those who have been left behind get a chance to share in the prosperity of the city that we all know and love.” — ZACH BRIEN/ MID-CITY MESSENGER

Marshall Bartlett FARMER A FIFTH-GENERATION FARMER , Marshall Bartlett is

the president and co-founder of Home Place Pastures (www.homeplacepastures.com) in Como, Mississippi. His father grew crops on the same property, which has been in his family since 1871, but Bartlett changed the business and raises hogs, goats, cows and sheep. Last month, Home Place launched a farm-share program so home cooks can pick up monthly meat box deliveries in New Orleans and Memphis, Tennessee. Bartlett spoke with Gambit about the program.

Why did you make the switch from raising crops? BARTLETT: My dad was a rowcrop farmer and always veered us away from that style of agriculture. I don’t think he thought it was a viable way for us to make a living. In commercial agriculture, your input, your seeds, your fertilizer, your chemicals — they’re all set by big chemical agriculture companies like Monsanto and Dow (Chemical Company). Then, when you’re planning your crop, you have to deal with the weather, and then you have to sell it to your consumers at the set commodity price. There are all these factors set by the market — you’re at the mercy of all these factors that are beyond your control. My dad saw this over time and became really disillusioned. After I finished college, I moved to New Orleans and worked for AmeriCorps, and after that I worked for a guy who was doing a farm-to-table meat deal. That’s when I realized that there was a real business potential for me to do that. So I started working on a completely new business model centered around sustainable animal production and building our own USDA-inspected slaughter and processing facility on the farm. With local meat production, the hang-up is getting access to those kinds of facilities. The whole industry has been centralized to these giant facilities that do all the slaughtering and processing. We have to be federally inspected in order to sell meat across state lines. We now raise most of the animals here on the farm. I think there will be a future for traditional farming, but I think what you’re finding is the smaller, more local models similar to what we are doing now, where you’re doing more direct marketing

and doing all the production, including all the raising and slaughtering and processing. We’re not doing all the slaughtering yet, but we’re working with (animal behavior expert) Temple Grandin to design our whole farm. We have a lot more power as businessmen and as farmers to grow our business.

How does the meatshare program differ from other direct delivery services? B: While we do wholesale in Memphis and New Orleans, we didn’t really have a retail element on the farm, so we built a little retail shop where we sell meats and sausages. We then figured we could take a similar idea and make our meat more accessible to people in cities, who maybe don’t have access to farms, or don’t want to drive the five hours from New Orleans to Mississippi just to buy some sausage. We know there are people that want to support local farms, but need it to be as simple as possible. I thought (the online farmers market) Good Eggs was such a good idea, especially for how user-friendly it was. We don’t necessarily have the variety they had yet, but we’re excited to team up with local farmers and be able to offer our subscribers more variety. We’ve now got a website where you can select your box and pick-up city. We have a few different packages and products so we think it’s a great program. You’ll get a reminder of where and when to pick it up. In New Orleans we’ve teamed up with Bourree, which is where you can pick up the boxes.

YOU’RE BUSY. WE’LL CATER. What are some of the challenges with the business? B: One of the major differences for a farm and a business that is just retailing meat is that we are stuck with the whole carcass to deal with. So we have to sell four feet off of every hog, all the pork chops, and shoulders, and belly, the jowl, the cheek, the head – everything. We really have to put all of that to use. When I moved here and started farming a few years ago I’d make the trip back to New Orleans to talk to chefs and try to figure out how I was going to make distribution work. Nathanial Zimet was willing to give me a try. He took a chance and he’s been a really loyal customer ever since. He’s also one of the only chefs that will really tackle butchering whole animals by himself, whether it’s a quarter of a steer or a whole lamb or pig. There are a few others around town who are doing that and that’s really helpful for us. For (restaurants), it’s more of a labor cost and finding a skilled person who can do that. It takes a lot of skill and it takes a lot of time. There are a couple of restaurants that are super dedicated to supporting local farms and they can make it work — but it is harder for them in the end. To find a use for every single part of the animal can be a challenge. We also deliver whole lambs to August and lambs and goats to Herbsaint and goats to Compere Lapin. Trust me when I say they have to be very dedicated to do this. it’s really praiseworthy. — HELEN FREUND

EAT+DRINK BEER BUZZ

@Drunkintellect

BY MARK BURLET NORA MCGUNNIGLE INITIATED the Beer

Buzz column four years ago, and her final piece appeared in last week’s Gambit. Her knowledge and insight will be missed, but I hope to carry the torch and inform beer lovers of the latest beer news in New Orleans. I am a New Orleans native, a longtime homebrewer and longertime consumer of good brews. I hope to bring a new perspective to beer and drinks writing in this space. My first semi-official act in my new role was to attend the grand opening of Parleaux Beer Lab (634 Lesseps St., 504-7028433; www.parleauxbeerlab.com) June 2. It opened in April and is located in Bywater — “par l’eau” being French for “by the water” — and offers a lineup of more than 10 beers, including tasty brews such as a lemon grass kolsch, an oatmeal stout and a hoppy copper ale. There’s plenty of good news for local fans of hoppy beers. New

offerings such as Syncopation from NOLA Brewing Company and Jucifer from Gnarly Barley Brewing Company now join dryhopped versions of Louisiana favorites such as Parish Brewing Company’s Envie, an American pale ale, and Urban South Brewery’s Holy Roller IPA. With several breweries opening recently and the release of new beers, this is an exciting time for beer drinkers in New Orleans. I hope to help spread the news like my esteemed predecessor. Don’t hesitate to say hello if you see me enjoying a pint around town. Cheers.

2016 Loveblock Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough, New Zealand Retail $18-$20

LOVEBLOCK FROM NEW ZEALAND’S MARLBOROUGH region is a project by Kim Crawford, who

almost singlehandedly put New Zealand sauvignon blanc on the map. The vineyard is situated on a hill overlooking the Awatere Valley. The bottling has the characteristics typical of this style of wine: It’s bright and crisp with flavors of gooseberry, minerality, acid, white peach, citrus and more. But everything is well-distributed and no elements are out of place; its floral aspects don’t conflict with the mint. Partial malolactic fermentation allows the freshness to remain but not overwhelm. Crawford also uses small amounts of arneis, pinot blanc and gewurztramanier grapes, which enhance the wine’s subtlety and cohesion. Drink it with seafood, raw oysters, boiled shellfish, salads, asparagus, peas and broccoli. Buy it at: Brady’s Wine Warehouse, Martin Wine Cellar in Uptown and Metairie, most Rouses and Acquistapace’s Covington Supermarket. Drink it at: Cava and Morton’s The Steakhouse.

MUSIC

Steve Gunn with Lee Ranaldo and Meg Baird

NEARLY A YEAR TO THE DAY AFTER HIS LAST VISIT TO GASA GASA, guitar hero Steve Gunn returns with two of his own guitar heroes in tow: Lee Ranaldo (pictured), the Sonic Youth co-founder cited by Gunn as a main inspiration for his interstate-trip• June 18 ping road ragas; and ex-Espers co-founder • 9 p.m. Sunday Meg Baird, whose trippy, long-form eponymous debut with Heron Oblivion (Sub • Gasa Gasa, 4920 Freret St., Pop) placed near the top of Gunn’s favorite (504) 338-3567; records of 2016. Gunn and Ranaldo share more than a special talent for six-string www.gasagasa.com whispering. Both cut their teeth as the secret weapon for other singer/songwriters PHOTO BY LEAH SINGER (Kurt Vile and Thurston Moore, respectively) before segueing to center stage, where their modest voices emerged as a natural extension of their obvious instrumental gifts. But that convergence happened from different directions: Whereas Gunn’s solo efforts (including last year’s stellar Eyes on the Lines) continue the meditative weavings from his work with Vile’s Violators, Ranaldo’s backing band The Dust rose from the ashes of Sonic Youth in starkly jammy contrast to that band’s nuttier, noisier experimentation. In this context, consider Baird — a do-everything fingerpicker-turned-drummer whose solo and band albums soothe and seethe with equal abandon — the fretboard intersection.

REVIEW BRITISH FILMMAKER KEN LOACH made a name for himself in 1966 with Cathy Come Home, a BBC film about a fictional homeless couple that shocked audiences and raised public awareness of a growing social crisis in the U.K. Fifty years and more than two dozen films later, Loach returned to the topic with I, Daniel Blake, which won the prestigious Palme d’Or at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival. Finally making its way to U.S. theaters more than a year later, I, Daniel Blake proves that the 80-year-old Loach scarcely has lost a step when it comes to stirring up controversy and debate around the social issues of the day. The film portrays in painstaking detail a 21st-century British welfare system that seems designed only to frustrate and humiliate those in legitimate need of assistance — and may actually push some of the neediest into homelessness. Loach’s progressive politics have never seemed sharper or more purposeful. The director’s righteous anger at government-sponsored injustice roils just below the surface of the film and informs every scene. Like virtually all of Loach’s films, I, Daniel Blake celebrates the resilience of working-class people while illuminating personal struggles. That humanist perspective elevates a story by Loach and screenwriter Paul Laverty above partisan politics to a place where almost anyone can relate to the film and identify with its characters. Stand-up comedian Dave Johns stars in the title role of a recently widowed, 59-year-old woodworker who suffers a heart attack and is unable to work — on doctor’s orders — while he recovers. In an absurd but true-to-life exchange that begins the film, a “health care professional” from a job center that administers public assistance asks Blake a series of inane questions (“Can you touch your hand to the top of your head?”). This leads to a determination that he is fit to work no matter what his doctors say. Along with endless red tape, Blake’s

OPENING THIS WEEKEND 47 Meters Down (PG-13) — Sisters plunge into shark-infested waters. Elmwood, West Bank, Kenner, Slidell, Chalmette All Eyez on Me (R) — Demetrius Shipp stars as questionably dead rap icon Tupac Shakur. Clearview, Elmwood, West Bank, Chalmette, Kenner, Slidell, Regal, Canal Place

inexperience with computers and the internet (a common problem among today’s aging population) makes appealing that decision very difficult. At the job center, he comes to the aid of Katie Morgan (Hayley Squires) a young mother with two kids who was the victim of a revenge eviction and is having trouble feeding and clothing her family. Morgan and Blake become fast friends and form the sort of impromptu family support network that’s required when long-standing social contracts break down. Johns and Squires both prove adept at carrying Loach’s social realist banner while helping to prevent the film from sinking into sentimentality or despair. Johns’ buoyant disposition and real-life gifts for making people laugh balance a sometimes-difficult story, as does Squires’ affecting performance. Loach and Laverty avoid even a hint of romance between their protagonists, which is something that other, less thoughtful filmmakers might not have been able to resist. Predictably, many of the political

objections to Loach’s film in Britain have centered on whether its depiction of the job center and its employees is accurate in every detail. But the real-life stories on which the film is based are well-documented. The central issue raised by the film is whether anyone has cause to blame and demonize the least fortunate among us for their troubles. I, Daniel Blake makes the answer painfully clear. — KEN KORMAN

I suddenly came to (504) 309-4249; appreciate minimalist art. I also suspected that Judd, who grew up in a small town in Missouri, www.octaviaartgallery.com came to crave space and simplicity so much that it influenced both his art and his move from New York to the desolation of Marfa. His aesthetic descendants there reflect a related reductive approach that is somewhat more complex or even decorous. Michael Phelan’s paintings hint at Frank Stella’s stark 1960s striped canvases that sometimes recalled Judd in two dimensions, but Phelan’s provide a contrasting, origami-like twist. Martha Hughes’ colorful compositions explore how geometric modern designs transform products into color-coded alternate realities that she distills into intriguing self-contained abstractions. Charles Mary Kubricht’s shadowy black, white and gray graphics suggest geometric realms where distant asteroids and subatomic particles beam their mysterious influences almost invisibly into everyday life. Anne Marie Nafziger’s sensuously loopy paintings reduce landscapes to lush, opulently abstract brushstrokes that evoke how a delirious Franz Kline might have interpreted Monet’s garden — a display of audacity that might have contributed to her election as mayor of Marfa. Prolific artist Sam Schonzeit grew up near Judd’s New York studio and says Marfa reminds him of Soho in the 1970s, a remark that suggests a boundless imagination. Leslie Wilkes’ colorful paintings embody a schematic psychedelic minimalism in canvases such as P16.02 (pictured). Her works evoke the meditative realms of inner space while hinting that light itself might be a form of intelligent life emanating from the vast depths of the universe. — D. ERIC BOOKHARDT

The current production at Lupin Theatre, presented by Cripple Creek Theatre Company and New Orleans Shakespeare Festival at Tulane, however, positions Katharina (Devyn Tyler) as an equal sparring partner to Petruchio (Andrew Vaught), who aims to transform the wildcat into a sweet and subservient wife. As in medieval productions, the stage is bare. All the action takes place in the round — at times involving audience members — and with simple musical accom-

paniment of harmonica, cymbals and drums. The focus is on the play’s distinct characters, particularly the forceful, quick-witted and crafty Kate. But there is a twist to the story, allowing Kate more control over destiny. Director Emilie Whelan included the often-omitted prologue, establishing the story of Petruchio, Kate, her father Baptista (Donald Lewis Jr.) and suitors Tranio (Jessica Amber Lozano), Gremio (Khiry Armstead) and Hortensio (Cameron-Mitchell Ware), as a play within a play. The first scene starts with a tinker, Sly (Vaught), passed out drunk in the street. As a joke, the lord (Tyler) orders the tinker brought inside, dressed like a gentleman, offered fine foods and tricked to believe he is actually a nobleman. The rest of the story is presented as a play performed inside the lord’s chamber. There never is a dull moment in this production, which is full of the disguises and mistaken identities Shakespeare often used as comic devices. To gain access to Kate’s sister Bianca (Marie Becnel), Lucentio (Philip Yiannopoulos) disguises himself as a schoolteacher while Hortensio pretends to teach music. Vaught relishes his brutish role, mocking and tormenting Kate to rule her. He wants Kate to see the error of her ways by behaving even worse himself. Tyler, however, shows Kate to be smart, articulate and indomitable. When they first meet, she protests, “Let him that moved you hither remove you hence.” Taming of the Shrew examines the eternal essence of love, whether power, infatuation or a real partnership. Petruchio imagines that molding his bride into a respectful wife will produce a mutually agreeable relationship. The couple’s continuous tussle is counterbalanced by a blissful, naive romance between Lucentio and Bianca, perceived as the ideal woman thanks to her modesty and mild disposition. Bianca has other suitors but cannot marry until Kate has wed. Shakespeare’s 430-year-old play is a timeless romp that entertains and brings new insights to the dynamics of relationships. With strong performances by Lewis as the frustrated Baptista, Armstead as the clownish Gremio and Lozano as would-be suitor Tranio and the Widow, The Taming of the Shrew is a delight. — MARY RICKARD
