Whole Foods is poised to hire 125 employees in its Broad Street store, according to Kristina Bradford, a local spokesperson for Whole Foods. Bradford says about 70 percent of those jobs will be new Whole Foods employees. Thirty percent will be existing employees brought in from other stores. Though Bradford says Whole Foods is interested in drawing employees from the neighborhood, the national chain has no quota to fill for New Orleans residents — Lafitte residents will be held to the same standards as applicants who hail from anywhere else. Costco, which opened on South Carrollton Avenue last month, also had no binding agreement to hire people from the neighborhood. According to Tyler A. Gamble, a spokesman for Mayor Mitch Landrieu, “The city entered into an agreement with Costco whereby Costco agreed to use good faith efforts to reach the goal of having at least 50 percent of the permanent employees be New Orleans residents.” Statistics from the mayor’s office show that 65 percent of Costco employees on opening day were local residents. Both Costco and Whole Foods generally pay higher wages than their competitors, making both chains attractive to develop-

By Jeanie Riess few years ago, a representative of Providence Community Housing was selling houses next to a woman selling incense in the parking lot of the now-defunct Robert Fresh Market on South Broad Street. Broad Community Connections (BCC), a local nonprofit, invited entrepreneurs to sell wares at the monthly flea market, and Providence — a local nonprofit housing developer that has since built 276 rentals in the Lafitte neighborhood, was one of those booths — attempting to lure back residents after Hurricane Katrina and the levee failures drove them out five years earlier. On Dec. 15, a Whole Foods Market will open on that spot. ReFresh, the commercial development helmed by BCC and the New York-based L+M Development Partners, will house the highend grocer, as well as Liberty’s Kitchen, Tulane’s Goldring Center for Culinary Medicine and First Line Schools. The complex at South Broad and Bienville streets also will include gardening and exercise space, near Providence’s collection of new, New Orleansstyle homes where a once-blighted housing project stood. For years, the neighborhood’s longtime Sojourner Truth Community Center has offered professional development courses for adults, after-school programs for kids and activities like bingo — along with neighborhood resources and a place where people in the community can get answers to questions. With 40 percent of Lafitte residents back home, jobs in the area are a priority — and with a high-end grocer moving down the block, how many Lafitte residents will end up in green Whole Foods “team member” aprons is still unknown. Now Sojourner Truth is working to make sure locals are not left out of the process.

“They’re unemployed for a variety of reasons,” Morris says. “That includes disabled folks, there are a number of those in there as well. Jobs have to be the next priority, to help the kids help their parents change their lives.”

Even before Whole Foods came into the picture, the Sojourner Truth Community Center, which reopened after Katrina in 2009, was preparing Lafitte residents to enter the workforce. Morris says the center has made partnerships with area businesses that are hiring, and then helped residents take advantage of those opportunities. In addition to ReFresh, opportunities continue to present themselves at the Carver Theater on Orleans Avenue, which is set to open this winter; in the BioDistrict; and at Liberty’s Kitchen, to name a few. “It’s a redevelopment period,” Morris says. “One of the things we do is offer a ‘21st century’ job readiness course, because we want to get some of our folks who are not quite at step one to step one,” she says. In addition to setting up residents with email addresses and teaching them basic workplace skills, Sojourner Truth also connects residents with GED classes at Delgado Community College and makes referrals. “You need some semblance of how to conduct yourself on a job site,” Morris says, “because while they’re happy to mold raw clay, they need you to understand that you need to get there on time.” ReFresh will be the neighborhood’s biggest employment opportunity yet, and Sojourner Truth timed its 21st Century class to coincide with the application deadline for Whole Foods. “21st Century is being geared toward the Whole Foods operation,” Morris says. “They’ll be done by the hiring date. That’s in October. We made sure the timing worked out.” Ernest Roy, Whole Foods’ general manager and “team leader” at the Broad Street location, has attended tenants’ meetings to spread the word about employment, and Whole Foods has advertised in the community center’s monthly newsletter. “They’ve been all over this,” Morris says. Bradford says Whole Foods chose Sojourner Truth because of its location. “We would love for the immediate community to be a part of (the new people coming into the store),” she says. There is no educational requirement for a job at Whole Foods, even managerial level positions. (Of the 409 adults in Lafitte, 213 have either a GED or a high school diploma.) “Whole Foods does a lot of training,” Bradford says. “Once you get hired into the company, there’s a lot of training that goes on as part of

L+M has opened stores in developing communities before, though Jake Pine, an L+M development associate, is careful not to compare ReFresh with other projects. “This is a unique project,” he says. “ReFresh, the site and the model, has nothing to do with Whole Foods. It’s a model for healthy lifestyles.” Earlier this year, Whole Foods opened in a still-developing part of Detroit, and the company says that store is doing better than it anticipated. It has another store planned for Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood on the city’s South Side. In response to an interview request, BCC Executive Director Jeff Schwartz wrote back via email that Whole Foods “is actively working to hire as many local residents as possible, especially from the neighborhoods adjacent to the site, such as Treme, Faubourg Lafitte and Lower Mid-City. They have been actively collaborating with the Sojourner Truth Community Center, adjacent to Faubourg Lafitte, and are hosting a number of job and vendor fairs at Sojourner Truth over the next few months. They are also working with the City of New Orleans and the Black Men of Labor, both of whom operate programs to get neighborhood residents job-ready to work at the new store.” From the start, Providence has needed BCC, and BCC has needed Providence. Jobs, Morris says, are just the next phase of the relationship. Providence wanted to max out its site with homes for displaced residents, which left the housing developer with few options for commercial enterprises. But, Morris says, building postKatrina couldn’t just be about housing. The only option was to reach out to other developers to build a more cohesive neighborhood with both commercial and residential properties. “We said, ‘Let’s see if people are interested in getting together and talking about what’s going on and sharing information,’” Morris says. “And we can offer information to everyone about what we’re planning to do. We are planning on making this investment of 1,500 homes and apartments in the neighborhood.” “To sacrifice ReFresh for Lafitte?” Morris asks. “Nope. And vice versa. And it was never a choice because

it never would have come to that. Because we need each other.”

your initial orientation, and they continue to train you throughout your career.” The store will host an official job fair Oct. 11 at Sojourner Truth, and Roy, along with other current employees of the company, will assist Lafitte residents in filling out their online applications. As for whether residents are interested in the jobs that Whole Foods offers, Bradford is optimistic. “People have asked a lot of questions,” she says. “People are really happy to hear about the process and so we just keep on meeting with different groups and educating them and letting them know about it.” Glenn Hayes, a resident of Lafitte for 42 years, says he’s confident the store will help the neighborhood. “I think people will apply,” Hayes says, though he doesn’t know anyone planning to do so. “There’s been a lot of interest,” Morris says. “It’s one of those things where you get 30 people who want to do it and then 10 people show up. That always happens. And that means we have to go at it again.” Though there is no written commitment that Whole Foods will hire Lafitte residents, Morris has faith in the promise of ReFresh and BCC, which she says have been committed to the Lafitte project from the start. Meanwhile, “we’re very concerned about prices,” Morris says. Lafitte residents have a difficult time shopping for groceries in their underserved neighborhood, and a company often nicknamed “Whole Paycheck” may seem an odd choice to fill the void in a still-developing neighborhood that doesn’t have a traditional supermarket. The store will accept governmental assistance cards and will offer its in-house 365 brand, which is cheaper than most of the brand-name products the store carries. The ReFresh Project was planned before Whole Foods became involved. “We got who we got,” Morris says. “But Whole Foods is very committed to mitigating that as much as possible, without corrupting their underlying quality — because there’s a reason you go to Whole Foods. We don’t want to lose that and we don’t want our residents not to have access to it.”

SCUTTLEBUTT Quote of the week

“The ability of 80 members of the House of Representatives to push the Republican Party into a strategic course that is condemned by the party’s top strategists is a historical oddity. It’s especially strange when you consider some of the numbers behind the suicide caucus. … These 80 members represent just 18 percent of the House and just a third of the 233 House Republicans. They were elected with 14 and a half million of the 118 million votes cast in House elections last November, or 12 percent of the total. In all, they represent 58 million constituents. That may sound like a lot, but it’s just 18 percent of the population.” — Ryan Lizza in The New Yorker, writing about the minority “suicide caucus” that drove last week’s government shutdown by signing a letter to House Speaker John Boehner demanding that no spending bill be passed without defunding the Affordable Care Act. Three of the 80 caucus members are from Louisiana: Reps. Bill Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge; John Fleming, R-Minden; and Steve Scalise, R-Jefferson.

Workers’ comp woes: $8 million over budget

City faces bump in payments as budget expected to be tight

Guidry draws challenger

Comedian hopes to draw attention to city’s lack of accommodations for disabled

Susan Guidry, the incumbent representative for District A on the New Orleans City Council, has drawn her first announced challenger for her re-election: 27-year-old comedian Jonah Bascle. But Bascle, confined to a wheelchair by muscular dystrophy, says he remains just as serious about making New Orleans accessible to people with disabilities as he was when he ran for mayor in 2010. “It’s been four years,” Bascle said. “Stuff that I thought would be done by now still isn’t.” One of Bascle’s most visible crusades — and least successful — has been trying to make the St. Charles Avenue streetcar line usable by people in wheelchairs. While the red streetcars that run on Canal and now Loyola Avenue are accessible, the green streetcars that run on St. Charles Avenue are not. “It’s still kind of a topic that a lot of people don’t want to talk about for some reason,” Bascle said, noting that the streetcar tracks have been under construction for years now without any improvements to accessibility. “They’re adding all this stuff without fixing what they need to fix first.” More incremental progress has been made on wheelchair-accessible taxicabs — in a way. After multiple rewrites, the city has updated its taxicab ordinances, and permits for wheelchair-accessible taxis are now available. The problem is, no cab companies in New Orleans have purchased them yet. On even minor issues, accessibility seems to be an afterthought, Bascle said. New curbs on Freret Street near his Uptown home were built at a sharp angle that wheelchairs can’t negotiate. New restaurant permits are issued on a regular basis to buildings that are not wheelchair-accessible. Guidry’s campaign, meanwhile, issued a statement welcoming Bascle to the race. “Together, we have made great progress in rebuilding our city,” the campaign wrote. “But we need to keep up the momentum and continue improving, and that includes making New Orleans more accessible for people with mobility issues. This topic is close to Susan’s heart. That’s why we’re delighted that Jonah is continuing his crusade to raise awareness about wheelchair accessibility.” — ROBERT MORRIS | UPTOWN MESSENGER

Jonah Bascle, who ran for mayor in 2010 on a platform of making the city more accessible for people with disabilities, announced last week he would be running for the New Orleans City Council’s District A seat.

Who Dat? Dat Vitter

Tweeting the shutdown away

“Nice pick by @Jabari_Greer! #WhoDat?! #Saints” That was Sen. David Vitter on Twitter Sept. 30, midway through the New Orleans Saints-Miami Dolphins matchup — and just hours before the federal government shut down over a budget impasse. Vitter’s followers quickly snapped back at him with tweets like, “Nothing more important going on in DC tonight, huh?” and “GET BACK TO WORK.” But Louisiana’s junior senator was undeterred. The next day, after the government had shut down and an estimated 800,000 federal employees had been furloughed, Vitter tweeted a photo of a Saints fan at the Superdome holding a sign that read “Shutdown? Only by the Saints’ D.” “Pretty funny sign last night in the Dome,” Vitter tweeted, adding, “Who Dat?!” — KEVIN ALLMAN

Workers’ compensation costs to the City of New Orleans are expected to rise to $24 million this year — well above their budgeted $16 million — along with another rise in claims, according to assistant city chief administrative officers Courtney Bagneris and Cary Grant. Bagneris and Grant gave the bad news on Oct. 3 to the City Council’s budget committee. Costs in 2012 for workers’ comp were nearly $22 million. Grant said he can’t explain the massive hike and that an audit is in process. Grant said before last year, workers’ compensation costs typically fell within budget projections. Bagneris called the leap “an alarming change” as the city faces another lean budget of $500 million. In addition to the hike in workers’ comp costs, the city also must factor in the millions of dollars dedicated to the New Orleans Police Department consent decree. The city budgets funds for workers’ comp with a self-insured payment program, rather than buying insurance from third-party insurers. With the increase in claims made by city employees in 2012, even “low-risk” departments faced increased per-employee expenses — from $300 to $1,700. “High-risk” departments, such as the New Orleans Fire Department (NOFD), are trying to make expense cuts where possible to avoid budgeting issues for workers’ comp.

Mayor Mitch Landrieu will present his 2014 budget later this month. — ALEX WOODWARD

Cassidy gets The Daily Show treatment over shutdown

Comedian John Oliver, “senior political analyst” for The Daily Show With Jon Stewart, slammed U.S. Rep. Bill Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge, for the redrawing of his 6th Congressional District in 2010, which effectively pushed out black voters and turned him into a “super incumbent” and “electoral X-Man,” in Oliver’s words. In an Oct. 2 segment explaining why some U.S. Representatives are actually gaining political traction with the widely unpopular government shutdown that began Oct. 1, Oliver pointed out Louisiana’s 6th District’s white majority went from 64 percent to nearly 75 percent, while many blacks in the district were placed in U.S. Rep. Cedric Richmond’s 2nd District. Cassidy won reelection in 2012 with nearly 80 percent of the vote. “He pays no price electorally,” Oliver said. “He could poison a basket of kittens in front of another basket of kittens … and he’d be fine.” An email to Cassidy’s office seeking comment was not returned by press time. — ALEX WOODWARD

Here’s a stat for you: How many STATs does New Orleans have? Five, as of last week, when Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s Office of Performance and Accountability created CustomerServiceSTAT, a new measuring tool designed to improve citizen interactions with the city’s 311 line, permitting and licensure and land use issues. It will be held on the first Thursday of every month; the first was held last week and the next will be Nov. 7. “STATs” are one of Landrieu’s tools to track progress on various city initiatives. The other five are: BlightSTAT (second Thursdays), QualityofLifeSTAT (third Thursdays), BottomLineSTAT (fourth Thursdays) and ReqtoCheckSTAT (tracking requisitions for contracted services, held quarterly).

COMMENTARY

thinking out loud

Jindal vs. ‘The Establishment’ ay what you will about Gov. Bobby Jindal, he knows which way the wind blows — especially the ill winds on the Far Right. On Oct. 1, the day the federal government shut down and the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) went into effect, Jindal penned one of his increasingly frequent op-eds, this one for the website The Daily Caller. After a few paragraphs distinguishing himself from President Barack Obama on the Affordable Care Act (a familiar refrain from Jindal and others in the GOP), the governor took the equally familiar step of disassociating himself from Beltway Republicans, a group with which he has been all too eager to consort in the past — and, his denials notwithstanding, a circle he cannot wait to join as the next step on his political trajectory. “Republican governors are not going to take a back seat to anyone in Washington anymore,” wrote Jindal, who is the current chairman of the Republican Governors

states’ many poor citizens. Now, he suddenly sees fit to put a bit of air between himself and Congressional Republicans, who are leading the national charge against Obamacare but whose tactics (shutting down the government) are far less popular than either the president or his signature domestic policy triumph. (To be fair, Congressional Democrats are almost, but not quite, as unpopular as the GOP.) Jindal, in fact, is less popular than Obama here in Louisiana — unthinkable just two years ago. Faced with nearly three-quarters of American voters opposing the government shutdown over Obamacare, Jindal had a fine needle to thread — assuming he didn’t want to offend his fellow Louisiana Republicans. U.S. Reps. Steve Scalise, Bill Cassidy and John Fleming all held fast on the shutdown, blaming Democrats for not negotiating. (In truth, Congressional Democrats were willing to negotiate for weeks, but defunding Obamacare was off the

Jindal’s latest rant proves that he’ll step on anyone to further his ambitions. table.) Instead of finding a way to focus on Democrats, however, Jindal pulled the political equivalent of a drive-by shooting; he sprayed the entire Washington establishment, which of course includes many Republicans. Congress is wildly unpopular among voters of all stripes. Jindal’s latest rant proves that he’ll step on anyone to further his ambitions. Like it or don’t — and Jindal doesn’t — the Affordable Care Act was passed by Congress, signed by the president and upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. Ironically, the stunts pulled in Washington last week didn’t do a thing to hinder implementation of the Affordable Care Act. By 10 a.m. on the first day of enrollment, 2 million Americans had gone online to enroll or get information, crashing the government servers that had been set up to handle the program. Who’s really hurt by the shutdown? Hundreds of thousands of federal workers, including more than 22,000 from Louisiana, as well as thousands of Louisianans who have to pay for 100 percent of the programs on the health exchange because Jindal refuses to expand Medicaid coverage in Louisiana. No wonder voters are upset — at Congress and at Jindal. Bobby Jindal doesn’t like Obamacare. He also doesn’t like his disapproval numbers. Firing a broadside at Washington was probably his safest course of action. Like the shutdown itself, though, it didn’t accomplish a thing.

Association. “Up until now, we have just lived with the brand that Washington gave us. Republican governors don’t just talk about conservative ideas, we put them into action. The answers aren’t coming from Washington. Republican governors are driving the American comeback. “We are no longer going to outsource the Republican brand to the folks in Washington,” Jindal concluded. Why this, why now? Jindal has always been happy to get support from the farright wing of the Republican party, including (especially) the tea party, which was the architect of last week’s government shutdown. But the governor also can read polls. As the engine of the federal government slowed down and finally sputtered last week, it was clear Americans did not like the shutdown — and they blamed D.C. Republicans for it. A Quinnipiac University poll released Oct. 1 stated, “American voters are divided on Obamacare, with 45 percent in favor and 47 percent opposed, but they are opposed 58-34 percent to Congress cutting off funding for the health care law to stop its implementation.” Moreover, according to the same poll, “American voters oppose 72-22 percent Congress shutting down the federal government to block implementation of the Affordable Care Act.” Jindal has been a voluble foe of Obamacare and remains one of the few GOP governors who refuse to set up state health exchanges to provide care for their

POLITICS

A quaint anachronism

n The Earl of Louisiana, A.J. Liebling wrote that “reform” in the Bayou State means moving the fat hogs away from the trough so the lean hogs can move in and get their fill. My late friend Jim Carvin, the dean of Louisiana political consultants, had a similar take. “In Louisiana,” he said, “reform means cutting out somebody else’s piece of the pie.” Both men were right. I was reminded of their sage observations when the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-East (SLFPA-E) nominating committee decided not to renominate author John Barry for another term on the regional flood protection board. Barry literally wrote the book (Rising Tide) on flooding in Louisiana and is recognized nationally as an authority on levees and flood protection. He has served on SLFPA-E’s board since its creation after Hurricane Katrina. Until recently, he was the darling of the “reformers” who convinced us to toss the corrupt old levee boards — or at least, some of them — and replace them with experts vetted and nominated by (drumroll, please) the reformers.

It’s ironic but hardly surprising that Barry’s demise as a levee board commissioner comes at the hand of some of the very do-gooders who once were his biggest supporters. What happened? Did Barry suddenly become a crook? No, he did something much worse. Barry’s sin was political blasphemy: he espoused the notion that the energy industry ought to pay for its role in destroying thousands of acres of protective wetlands in southeast Louisiana. Somebody get the net. The man is obviously insane. When he accepted the SLFPA-E appointment, Barry apparently believed all that hoo-hah about political independence and qualifications and what-not. As long as he pleased the silk-stocking do-gooders, lots of folks bought into the charade. But as soon as he and his fellow SLFPA-E commissioners sued 97 oil, gas and pipeline companies for the environmental and flood damage caused by the vast network of canals that Big Oil carved into Louisiana’s wetlands, the notion of political independence became a quaint

(and expendable) anachronism. Gov. Bobby Jindal rushed to the defense of the energy industry, accompanied by his loquacious “wetlands czar” Garret Graves. The two men made it plain that Barry, whose term on the flood protection board expired June 30, would not be reappointed, even if the “independent” board of “experts” were to re-nominate him. The nominating committee is chaired by businessman Jay Lapeyre, who was arguably Barry’s biggest champion before the lawsuit. Lapeyre also was chair of the local Business Council during and after Katrina, and he led the charge for levee board reform. In fact, he spoke louder than anyone of the need to take the politics out of flood protection. That was in 2006 and 2007. Since then, Lapeyre apparently has had an epiphany, for he announced at the nominating committee’s meeting last week that, lo and behold, pure qualifications are overrated because the flood authority is “in the political world now.” Now? Only now? Until now, the media have described Lapeyre as the president and CEO of

Laitram LLC and the Council for A Better Louisiana’s representative on the committee, which is correct. But he’s also a major stockholder in, and the chairman of the board of, ION Geophysical Corp. of Houston, which, according to its annual report, counts oil companies among its “principal customers.” Um, isn’t that a conflict of interest? And shouldn’t Lapeyre have disclosed that conflict — and recused himself — before voting on Barry’s re-nomination, which he voted against? Apparently not. As Carvin noted, “reform” means cutting out somebody else’s piece, not your own. Barry’s re-nomination failed on a 5-5 vote. The LSU School of Engineering rep voted with Lapeyre against Barry. Recall that LSU’s engineering school got more than $2 million from Chevron recently. The LSU rep was the only academic on the committee to oppose Barry — but at least he wasn’t masquerading as a reformer. When I was young and idealistic, I thought reformers were the good guys. Now I know better. As Lapeyre informs us, we’re all in the political world now.

he 11th season of Bravo’s TV cooking competition Top Chef is set in New Orleans and kicked off last week with a host of familiar faces including Emeril Lagasse. It also features local chefs Justin Devillier and Michael Sichel and contestants eager to distinguish themselves by picking ingredients, creating dishes and presenting them to the judges. The show celebrates the behind-the-scenes work that happens in restaurant kitchens, from rendering traditional dishes to concocting new specials. TV viewers may have to settle for feasting with their eyes, but diners can dig into the fruits of that labor every day at local restaurants, from fine dining establishments to seafood houses to neighborhood eateries. Gambit’s fall restaurant guide features restaurants and dishes from across the New Orleans area. Listings highlight signature and popular dishes, hours of operation, reservation policies and more. Restaurants are arranged by neighborhood, and there is a directory of all restaurants in the guide on page 101. Diners can pick a new place or visit an old favorite and judge for themselves who are New Orleans’ top chefs.

Mother Land Cafe (1700 N. Galvez St., 504-342-2996) is now open, serving Senegalese and Gambian food in the 7th Ward. The restaurant lists its dishes on a picture menu on the wall, but chef Teda Ftty (below) likes to describe dishes using local terms, saying, for example, that the theibou yapp, a traditional Senegalese meat and rice stew, is like jambalaya. Other customary dishes include the theibou djenne, a fish and rice stew and boulettes, balls of fried fish. Lamb dishes and several other fish dishes are offered, as well as homemade ginger drinks and a hibiscus drink called wonjo. Mother Land is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. — MEGAN BRADEN-PERRY

Oui, oui, monsieur A good place for a diet and a bad place for a diet: Mister Gregory is your existential sandwich man. By Scott Gold

ly piled with fresh vegetables, perfectly hard-cooked eggs and additions like pecans, herbs, chicken or Gulf shrimp. There also are quiches and a soup de jour (a robust Cuban wedding soup, on one visit), as well as a silky French onion version. All these are perfectly respectable, but hardly as lustworthy as a croque monsieur. The cold sandwiches, too, fail to match their hot cousins. A roast beef with blue cheese, fried shallots and Dijon missed the mark (the beef, while abundant, had a school-lunch tinge to it), while the shrimp on the Vieux Carre sandwich were small and underseasoned. However, a few knockouts still were in store, namely 24-hour cold-brewed iced coffee, as well as excellent hot French press coffee ground and brewed to order. Then there were the baguettes: warm, crusty, authentic French loaves handrolled by Bellegarde Bakery in Broadmoor. For $4, you can load one up with smoky jambon and thick, creamy wedges of “good French butter” (a dollar less without the ham), for a cheap, decadent breakfast or lunch. Butter and bread may be basic, but when it’s this good, it’s divine.

n New Orleans, the term “fast food” might conjure thoughts of a greasy late-night burger or a bucket of fried chicken eaten on the curb on a Mardi Gras day. But just because food is fast doesn’t ipso facto make it fast food. At N. Rampart Street eatery Mister Gregory’s, which opened in August, the theme “Fast and French” is proclaimed loud and proud, and the staff is out to prove cuisine served cheerily and with alacrity can be of excellent quality as well. In this case, the focus is obviously French but in a simple fashion that’s not as easy to find in Nouvelle-Orleans as one might imagine. Think not of classics like beef bourguignon, coq au vin or cassoulet, or even the rosemary-crusted chicken at that other casual French spot, La Madeleine. Mister Gregory’s is a cafe in the purest, most truly Parisian sense, offering coffee and the kind of basic fare one might grab at a small neighborhood stall in Paris while on the way to work or during a quick lunch break. While coffee, soups, salads, sandwiches and pastries might not seem very exciting — especially in a small but sunny room that resembles a French school cafeteria — there are some lovely things coming out of that diminutive kitchen across from Armstrong Park. Being a lifelong sucker for the glory of melted cheese, I was instantly drawn to the hot croque sandwiches, featuring “blow-torched Gruyere cheese atop grilled bread with cornichons.” In this regard, Mister Gregory’s does not disappoint. The Provencal was filled with thick, Irish-style rashers of smoked bacon, fresh thyme, tomatoes and Havarti, then topped with the promised gruyere and bruleed until caramelized and oozy. Equally satisfying was the Saltimbocca, loaded with roasted chicken breast, sage, bacon and goat cheese. And if two cheeses aren’t enough, there’s always the four-cheese variant, which adds Swiss and cheddar to the mix. Lactaid and Lipitor be damned; this is hot, meaty and melty all together in unabashed splendor. A sign on the wall reads “This is a good place for a diet. This is a bad place for a diet.” (Magritte would approve.) Indeed, the menu features dishes on the lighter side as well: Salads are generous-

3-COURSE interview

Chef Tomas Lejba at Jager Haus PHOTO BY SCOT T GOLD

Oktoberfest, the annual celebration of German heritage, cuisine and beer, is in full swing. Jager Haus (833 Conti St., 504-525-9200; www.jager-haus.com) has, for the past six years, honored Teutonic traditions with a special menu. This year, it’s available throughout October. Chef Tomas Lejba is a native of the Czech Republic who came to the U.S. 15 years ago and arrived in New Orleans in 2007. For Oktoberfest, his menu includes Bavarian pretzels, sausages and beer and cheddar soup.

What’s it like to cook traditional German food in a city that’s more familiar with French and Creole fare?

Lejba: Many times we’ve faced a problem when we try to make really authentic food, because people in New Orleans didn’t seem to care much for it right away. If we make traditional sauerkraut, for example, some people find it a bit too sour. So we make a version — the one that’s served on our Oktoberfest plate with three different sausages and sides — that’s more on the sweet side, and when people taste it they really enjoy it. But on the regular menu, we still have the bratwurst sandwich, where we use Berlin-style sauerkraut, which is very sour, heated up with bacon and served on top of the sausage.

L: My favorite is the beef rouladen, a slow braised, stuffed beef dish that is very popular in Germany, which we serve with red cabbage and spaetzle. We make the spaetzle in house. It’s the owner’s mother’s recipe, and it’s really good. In Germany, you’re going to encounter all kinds of spaetzles and other sides. Our version is a little bit different than most of the kind you’ll find — it’s more like nocken or gnocchi, a little bit softer, and it goes really well with the food.

Your special menu also features schweineshaxe, a beloved Bavarian dish of whole, skin-on, slow-roasted pork shank that New Orleans diners might not be familiar with. Can you tell us more about it?

L: We’ve tried to do schweineshaxe for the last five or six years, but the hardest thing was finding the part of the pig that we wanted. We couldn’t find a single local company that cut the pork shank in the traditional German way that’s needed to make this dish — it was cut too low or too high, or it wouldn’t have the skin on it, which is such an important part of the recipe. So we found a company in Wisconsin that has their own pigs and cuts them to order the way we need to make the schweineshaxe. Some places here would cut it the way we wanted, but the first thing they’d do is remove the skin. We need the skin. Without the skin, it wouldn’t be schweineshaxe. The opposite of that would be our braised pork shank dish, which is skinless Lots of people enjoy it because it’s very soft and marinated, and it has a really great flavor. But the schweineshaxe has a totally different taste, a different look on the plate. There’s more fat, because it has the skin on it, which makes it very flavorful, and we add nothing to it when we roast it in the oven except for salt, pepper and beer. Very simple. — SCOTT GOLD

BEER buzz

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > OCTOBER 8 > 2013

When many New Orleanians think of Oktoberfest, the first thing that comes to mind is Deutsches Haus. Founded in 1928, the German heritage club has hosted traditional Oktoberfest celebrations for decades. When it lost its original location on South Galvez Street in Mid-City (pictured) due to construction of the LSU/VA medical center, the organization relocated to Metairie while it raises funds to build a new facility in New Orleans. Deutsches Haus’ Oktoberfest celebration runs three weekends (Oct. 11-12, 18-19 & 25-26) at Kenner’s Rivertown (415 Williams Blvd.). Festivities include German food, a wide selection of traditional German beer, oompah music, dachshund races, tastings of European wines and other events. Oktoberfest hours are 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. Fridays and 1 p.m. to 11 p.m. Saturdays. For information and tickets, visit www.oktoberfestnola.com. Several local businesses also mark Oktoberfest with special foods and dinners. Dat Dog (www.datdognola.com) will host an Oktoberfest-themed dinner with traditional German beers and American beers brewed in German and harvest styles on. The dinner will be Oct. 24 at Dat Dog’s Magazine Street location (3336 Magazine St.). Call 504-324-2226 for information. Crescent City Brewhouse (527 Decatur St., 504-522-0571; www.crescentcitybrewhouse.com) offers a three-course Oktoberfest menu during October. The special costs $32 and beer pairings are not included, but Brewhouse staff will recommend beer pairings with each course. Crescent City Brewhouse’s Oktoberfest beer is a filtered copper lager, lightly hopped, with a hint of smokiness. — NORA MCGUNNIGLE

WINE of the week 2010 Aia Vecchia Lagone Rosso TO S C A N A , I TA LY $14-$18 RETAIL

This wine is an excellent example of a well-crafted, balanced Super Tuscan. Grapes for this wine were partially sourced from vineyards in the distinguished Bolgheri Designation of Origin on Tuscany’s Tyrrhenian coast. Super Tuscan wines are usually blends of a clone of Tuscany’s premier grape, sangiovese, and French Bordeaux or Rhone varietals. This Bordeaux-inspired wine is composed of 60 percent merlot, 35 percent cabernet sauvignon and 5 percent cabernet Franc, and it’s aged for one year in French oak barriques. In the glass, the wine offers heady aromas of dried dark fruits and hints of tobacco, leather and cedar. On the palate, taste intense yet smooth flavors of black cherry and black currants, brambly notes, dusty cocoa, sweet spices and firm tannins. Decant 45 minutes before serving to aerate the wine. Drink it with grilled steak, herb-crusted rack of lamb, osso buco, pork loin, veal, fowl, eggplant, pasta and tomato-based dishes.

The New Orleans Film Festival screens premieres and classics. By Will Coviello and Alex Woodward

Death Metal Angola

10 p.m. Fri., Oct. 11; 8 p.m. Wed., Oct. 16; Theatres at Canal Place Bookended by Wilker Flores quietly chugging metal riffs on an off-brand guitar and growling into a microphone in a dusty hallway, Death Metal Angola captures the growing scene of hard rock bands in the rebuilt African nation, led by young survivors of war. Sonia Ferreira recalls with detail the brutal civil war from 1975 to 2002 that left thousands of children orphaned and a generation lost. Ferreira is Flores’ girlfriend and the film’s hero — she cares for 55 children at Huambo’s Okutiuka orphanage, which serves as Huambo’s sort of rock central and a gathering place for the area’s “rockers,” as they call themselves. Director Jeremy Xido follows Flores as he assembles Angola’s first-ever rock festival and gathers the cash and patience to bring several hardcore and metal bands from several Angolan

cities and provinces to perform in Huambo. But Ferreira is at the film’s Velvet (Alice Eve) and Fred heart. In one heartbreaking scene, (Stanley Tucci) share a strange 9-year-old Pancho arrives late at night and heated relationship in Neil and unannounced at the orphanage LaBute’s Some Velvet Morning. and interrupts Ferreira and Flores (who is playing an acoustic guitar).

he New Orleans Film Festival kicks off Thursday with the regional premiere of 12 Years a Slave, which was filmed locally with an all-star cast including Chiwetel Ejiofor and Brad Pitt and is already garnering Oscar buzz in advance of its national release. Over the course of eight days (Oct. 10-17), the festival screens more than 75 features and documentaries, as well as programs of short, animated and experimental films. There also are panel discussions with filmmakers, parties and more. Besides 12 Years a Slave, the curated portion of the festival includes highly anticipated releases. August: Osage County is a comedy based on Tracy Letts’ play of the same name about a group of strongwilled women coping with their dysfunctional family. In director Alexander Payne’s (Sideways, Election) Nebraska, a desperate man attempts to claim a sweepstakes prize, and the film features a capstone performance by Bruce Dern. Kill Your Darlings is an account of a 1944 Manhattan murder and subsequent investigation that involved Beat writers Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. Other curated films include Good Ol’ Freda, about The Beatles’ secretary Freda Kelly, and the documentary Brasslands, about Slavic brass bands, both reviewed below. New Orleans filmmakers and actors are wellrepresented throughout the festival. Beasts of the Southern Wild stars Dwight Henry and Quvenzhane Wallis appear in 12 Years a Slave. New Orleans native and experimental filmmaker Godfrey Reggio’s film Visitors is a trancelike examination of the use of technology, especially space travel, with a score by Philip Glass. Other films with local connections include New Orleans native Jessica Oreck’s Aatsinki about life north of the Arctic Circle, and Eddie Jemison’s King of Herrings, reviewed below. Lily Keber’s documentary Bayou Maharaja: The Tragic Genius of James Booker is the closing night film (to be reviewed in Gambit’s Oct. 15 issue). The festival also includes screenings of Chinatown (10 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 13; 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 15; 10 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 16; Prytania Theatre), starring Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway. The 1974 classic was the last film Roman Polanski directed in the U.S. On the cult classic side, there’s an outdoor screening of the Coen brothers’ Raising Arizona in Lafayette Square (7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 15).

Good Ol’ Freda

7 p.m. Oct. 11, 15 & 17; Chalmette Movies Thousands of teenage girls would have done almost anything for a chance at the ultimate dream job, but the offer went to 17-year-old Freda Kelly. The low-key Liverpudlian teenager accepted a secretarial job for The Beatles in 1961 and kept the post through 1971, and despite the countless books, films and tell-alls about the band, she had yet to tell her story. In director

Ryan White’s touching and personal portrait Good Ol’ Freda, Kelly opens up about her behind-the-scenes experience with the worlds’ greatest rock band, from its humble beginnings in Liverpool’s musty clubs to the tragedies and crumbling relationships that led to its demise. Kelly is incredibly charming, sweet and funny as she recalls her career, from helping answer hundreds of fan letters to penning monthly newsletters to fans, all while cozying up to each Beatle and each Beatle’s family. Manager Brian Epstein hired her because she was perfect for the job — a humble fan who could speak for other fans and wouldn’t want anything in return (other than a paycheck, which Ringo Starr’s mother, while tipsy, had asked Epstein to increase). The film intersperses Freda’s story with her going into her attic, where she keeps a few boxes of unsorted memorabilia (she gave most of it away). What begins as a well-crafted scrapbook from a forgotten attic reveals itself to be a much deeper and more intimate look into Kelly’s life — not only how her close relationships with her Fab Four friends shaped her life, but how she wants to finally commit her story to tape to give her family something to remember about her. Good Ol’ Freda is essential viewing for any Beatles fan (and a sort of companion piece to the excel-

King of Herrings

5 p.m. Sun, Oct. 13; 3:45 p.m. Tue., Oct. 15; Prytania Theatre Directors Eddie Jemison and Sean Richardson seem indebted to Jim Jarmusch in their film King of Herrings. Like Jarmusch’s early cult favorite Down By Law, their black-and-white film is set in New Orleans and focuses on a small band of eccentric, down-on-their-luck laggards. They idle in a cheap diner, devote a lot of time to scrounging income from any source except work and yet have whimsical if not poetic notions of being the masters of their world. If Jarmusch didn’t create this world in Down by Law and Coffee and Cigarettes, he’s its unavoidable patron saint. Down By Law benefited from stars Tom Waits and Roberto Benigni and a much more dynamic and eccentric plot. Herrings has charm, but it’s a more sedate story. Jemison stars at Ditch, a philandering bully, who along with sidekick Gat (David Jensen), spends much of his time with the duo of The Professor (Joe Chest) and his shadow Leon (Wayne Pere, who also appears in 12 Years a Slave). The film seems to be set in contemporary New Orleans, but The Professor at times masquerades as a magazine salesman, knocking on doors to peddle Readers Digest, or at least that’s how he presents himself at Ditch’s wife Evie’s door. The characters joust with one another while playing cards, drinking, issuing physical threats and wooing women with significant others. Leon, who speaks with the help of a device held to the larynx to

popularity in the 2000s gravitated toward its extremes, with bands forming under the influence of the speed of thrash, hardcore’s chugging breakdowns and death metal’s guttural howls. The bands explain that heavy metal best interprets their pain, with the music as their “scream in revolt.” (To illustrate, the film’s editing team — and Christian Frederickson, who composed the film’s interstitial ambient music — bleed the violent sounds of machine guns and explosions into the band’s performances.) Rather than wallowing in darkness and despair, the band members use the music to escape their realities and embrace joy. It could easily have felt heavyhanded, but Xido brilliantly tells a heartwarming story of young musicians overcoming hardship and coming together in a moment of triumph. —ALEX WOODWARD

4:45 p.m. Sat., Oct. 12; 2 p.m. Mon. Oct. 14; Prytania Theatre New Orleanians should be able to appreciate the annual trumpet festival in Guca, Serbia. It’s a celebration of traditional Serbian brass band music, and the tiny town is overwhelmed with a half million visitors who come to see which of 60 bands will be crowned champion. Produced by the Meerkat Media Collective, Brasslands focuses on two primary stories. Brooklyn band Zlatne Uste travels to compete in the new competition for international bands, and the Serbian band Dejan Petrovic competes for top Serbian band honors and represents Serbia in the international competition. As the festival approaches, the film fills in the recent history of Serbia, a nation embroiled in a civil war in the 1990s, scarred by genocidal “ethnic cleansing,” and bombed by the U.S. and NATO. A U.S. ambassador attends a ceremony welcoming international bands, and it’s clear some aspects of the festival serve as a marker of more open and peaceful Serbia. Another subplot of the film involves rivalries between “white” Serbian bands and “black” Roma or gypsy bands. As the film follows the leader of Dejan Petrovic, performing at a wedding and preparing for the festival, it seems like the story is going to expand into a frightening view of unhealed wounds and buried hostilities. A gripping below-the-surface tension propels the documentary through its first hour. But ultimately, the film is about Balkan brass band music. It’s never the ecstatic, frenzied music of bands like Gogol Bordello or as funky as New Orleans brass bands,

but it offers the pleasures of large brass ensembles playing popular folk music. The Serbians are staunchly traditional, and they’re even unforgiving, repeatedly and conspicuously noting that the name Zlatne Uste (ostensibly “golden lips”) is grammatically incorrect and confusing. It’s also a problem for many that the American band includes female members. The filmmakers very capably and subtly portray the great pride Serbians take in their music and some of the bitterness that still surrounds national and ethnic tensions. The festival is a chance for people to overcome that by sharing music, but it’s also a competition, and everyone wants to win. — WILL COVIELLO

amplify vibrations, is the most amusing character, in part because of the unfortunate way his most dramatic lines are filtered into a robotic rasp. It’s an entertaining film, though Ditch is not a terribly rich or multidimensional character for the lead. The film is also claustrophobic. In all of the scenes shot in Anita’s Restaurant on Tulane Avenue, the only other character to appear is the man working the counter, and even outdoor scenes are devoid of street traffic. Perhaps this motley crew could rule such a small world, which is amusing for this brief visit. — WILL COVIELLO

Some Velvet Morning

120

9:45 p.m. Mon. & Thu., Oct. 14 & 17, The Theatres at Canal Place Neil LaBute’s Some Velvet Morning is classic LaBute. He’s known for exploring misogyny, as with the group of coworkers who abuse a deaf woman in play and film In the Company of Men. In his play Fat Pig, in which a spineless guy falls in love with a woman but then rejects her because of her obesity, LaBute also seemed to universalize one man’s shortcomings as the genetic makeup of men. In Some Velvet Morning, LaBute gets an outstanding performance from Stanley Tucci as Fred, a man with a lot of money and disturbing hostility toward the women who get involved with him. Fred arrives at the door of Velvet (Alice Eve) and it’s unclear how welcome a surprise it is, but she opens the door for him. Fred says he left his wife, and it’s very clear that whatever intense history there is between him and Velvet, LaBute is going to divulge it very slowly. The film takes place in real time as the two slog through everything on Fred’s mind, and Velvet does her best to manage his volatile temper and advances. Tucci brilliantly deploys LaBute’s wickedly ambiguous and manipulative use of language. It’s unclear whether Fred is angry because he’s on the verge of losing everything or simply won’t take no for an answer. He half screams, half pleads with Velvet, “I’m standing here naked,” ostensibly saying he’s humbled by the circumstances he’s in, including possible rejection by her, but his inflection is full of sexual desire and veiled threat. Eve is alternately aloof and dispassionate and feisty and vulnerable to his overtures. It’s a wonder Velvet puts up with Fred, but having her do so allows LaBute to build to a stark, unpredictable and unsettling ending. LaBute capably dramatizes malevolence, but whether he is reveling in villains, exposing some truth about men or revealing something about himself is debatable. He’s crafty about previewing and not giving away everything the twists at the end of Velvet Morning. For some, however, it may be hard to stomach all the anger and sadism for the sake of a drama. — WILL COVIELLO

Preservation Hall Jazz Band with John Oates

Recent collaborations with Robert Plant, The Edge and My Morning Jacket might have been hard to see coming, but the Preservation Hall Jazz Band (PHJB) teaming up with John Oates has been a fait accompli since Sara smiled, unexpected only by the most puzzled of crossword puzzlers. As with the invigorating July release That’s It! — PHJB’s 30th album, but first of entirely original material — the bigger question is, what took so long? The seeds of Oates’ two-night sojourn at the Hall were sown in early May, when he and Daryl Hall performed a surprisingly vital set on the final Sunday of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Preservation Hall Jazz Band Festival, spanning the Philadelphia duo’s 1970s blue-eyed soul (“Rich OCT with John Oates Girl,” “She’s Gone”) and 1980s radio cannibals (“Private Eyes,” “Maneater”). Penning a dozen or so of the best-known pop songs ever will gen8 p.m. Wednesday-Thursday erate eddies of goodwill for decades, and Hall and Oates have found Preservation Hall, themselves on yet another relevance upswing of late, both together 726 St. Peter St., (a new tour, that long-rumored Chromeo confab) and apart: Hall with (504) 522-2841; his “Live From Daryl’s House” webcast concert series; Oates with the www.preservationhall.com “Good Road to Follow,” a musical travelogue of monthly singles, written and recorded with regional guests. His New Orleans entry is “Lose It in Louisiana,” a quintessentially sappy-sweet love song whose live performance can be streamed via the Hay Bale Sessions, intimate backstage gigs from the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival — where, in June, Oates, PHJB and My Morning Jacket frontman (and That’s It! producer) Jim James all found themselves covering Curtis Mayfield’s “Move On Up” in a Rock n’ Soul Dance Party Superjam. The Hall and Oates: They make your dreams come true. Proceeds from both shows benefit the Preservation Hall Music Outreach Program. Tickets $30. — NOAH BONAPARTE PAIS

Captain Phillips Captain Phillips (PG-13)

A minefield of potential pitfalls awaits any filmDirected by maker who chooses to tell a story still fresh from Paul Greengrass recent coverage by the 24-hour news media. There’s pressure to get the details exactly right, Starring Tom Hanks but also to move beyond the spin that always and Barkhad Abdi accompanies public accounts of politically charged Wide release events. Captain Phillips offers a blow-by-blow depiction of the 2009 hijacking of container ship Maersk Alabama and the kidnapping of Capt. Richard Phillips by Somali pirates off the coast of Africa. Known for his documentary-inspired approach to making narrative films based on true events, British director Paul Greengrass (Bloody Sunday, United 93) conducted his own research into the Somali pirate phenomenon before he and screenwriter Billy Ray (The Hunger Games) tackled Captain Phillips. The result is a heart-pounding action thriller that places its straightforward tale in the context of globalization and its resulting economic hardship. It reminds us how seldom the big picture finds its way to the big screen, at least in Hollywood films. A middle-aged Tom Hanks is a natural fit for the role of Phillips, a professional man of relatively few words who works in the largely working class world of international shipping. But Hanks’ presence actually takes a backseat to the style and methods of the film’s director. Greengrass and cinematographer Barry Ackroyd (The Hurt Locker) used two or three highly mobile film cameras in mostly natural light to shoot lengthy scenes from beginning to end. Greengrass seldom blocks his scenes in the conventional way, where actors are assigned to hit marks at specific times. It’s a spontaneous way of working that leads to all kinds of improvised and unexpected moments — if one can pull it off. For the most part, this technique gives Captain Phillips the desired impact of real-life events, though the natural byproduct of shaky camerawork is not for everyone. Surprisingly effective performances from the supporting cast contribute substantially here, especially those by the mostly first-time actors of Somali descent in the complex roles of the pirates. Captain Phillips also provides a window into a unique set of circumstances that now appears to be receding into the past. There reportedly have been more than 100 successful hijackings of container ships on international waters since 2005 and more than $1 billion paid in ransom money by insurance companies. Container ships still carry 90 percent of the world’s essential goods, but changes in international maritime laws, which formerly prohibited armed guards on container ships, have recently made piracy harder to pull off. But the economic realities that led to widespread modern piracy remain firmly in place. As depicted in Captain Phillips, the pirate captain Muse (Barkhad Abdi) is a mere middle manager in a large crime organization with the same global reach as the shipping companies he and his men target. Many observers point out that the Somali pirates came into existence only after illegal (and international) corporate fishing depleted regional waters of primary natural resources that previously provided work and sustenance. As the film moves toward its inevitable climax, a proud Muse tells Phillips of a recent $6 million haul. The salaried American captain wonders why that wasn’t enough. “I’ve got bosses,” Muse says. “We’ve all got bosses,” Phillips responds. Amen to that. — KEN KORMAN

Beyond Thought: Homage to Clarice Lispector

THRU DEC

Beyond Thought: Homage to Clarice Lispector: Photogravures by Josephine Sacabo A Gallery For Fine Photography, 241 Chartres St., 504-568-1313; www.agallery.com

Did you ever wake up with a sense that you were leaving a magical place as you entered an ordinary day? The dream vanishes, but for the rest of the day you experience fleeting flashbacks to that tantalizingly near yet elusive place. A doctor might attribute it to a digestive disturbance, but for poets, dreams have a psychic reality that can be explored with a bit of effort. For photographer Josephine Sacabo, the visions conjured by her favorite writers inspire photographs that resemble fragments of a fantastical parallel universe. Her new series was inspired by Brazilian author Clarice Lispector, who once asked: “And as for music, after it’s played, where does it go?” Sacabo’s images provide no literal answers but surround us with visionary echoes — like elusive dreams that create their own realities. Lispector was that most unusual of creatures: a mystical modernist who was born in the Ukraine and immigrated with her family to Brazil. Sacabo, a visual poet born into a Laredo, Texas family of cattle ranchers, filters Lispector’s verbal paradoxes through the lens of her own richly visionary life experiences. Like dreams, they range from subtle to over the top. In the appropriately titled Waking Dream, a mannequin that looks like a silent movie starlet in an evening dress appears surrounded by stuffed trophy animals including a tiger in a tuxedo, and while fantastical, it clearly has real world parallels. In The Dress, a more subtle view of a girl in a lacy dress is seen from the rear as water gurgles in a nearby stone fountain. Although nothing much is happening here, this vision could pull you through the looking glass. In I am a Memory of Myself (pictured), the lens of an old camera is the portal into a world “beyond thought,” where images reflect what Sacabo calls “our true psychic reality.” That magic mirror can enable us to see “a deeper connection between ourselves and the world.” — D.

Hemophilia is an inherited disorder in which blood does not clot properly, so even minor cuts can result in substantial blood loss. Some hemophiliacs, like Chandler, the character at the heart of Shivaree, develop a fear of the outside world. Chandler (Mason Joiner) has never had a girlfriend, nor even touched a girl, and he wants to have sex. He saved money to pay ice cream-manturned-middleman Scagg (Blake Buchert) to set up his first “date” with a prostitute named Laura (Rebecca Hollingsworth). Chandler must be careful because of his disorder, but it does nothing to diminish his desire for intimacy. Things do not go according to plan on Chandler’s Star Wars bed sheets, but the exchange between the two is funny and clever. Most of Shivaree takes place in Chandler’s room. Because of his hemophilia, Chandler’s mother (Cammie West) does not want him to leave his room, and she is in constant contact via a walkie-talkie check-in system. West played the mother in a nuanced way, smothering him while convincing him it’s for his own good. Their relationship becomes complicated when she reveals how much she has sacrificed — including her time and marriage — to help him manage his life. But Chandler doesn’t feel like he’s living a full life. His chance meeting with the belly dancer Shivaree (Ashton Akridge) compels him to confront his mother about her overbearing nature and face his fear of the outside world. Written by William Mastrosimone (The Woolgatherer, Cat’s Paw) and directed by Jane McNulty, this Four Humours show was fast-paced and the dialogue kept up with the emotional torrent. Love can be hard, especially for people who bruise easily. Shivaree was a show worth leaving home to see. — TYLER GILLESPIE

Blueberry Hill

138

“I hope you’re luckier in love than your daddy was,” Donald (Donald Lewis Jr.) says to Johnny (Peter Elliott) when he returns to New Orleans with a marriage announcement. Not everything is as simple and neat as a love song in Jefferson Performing Arts Society’s new show Blueberry Hill, named for Fats Domino’s hit. After dating for only three months, Johnny and Claudia (Jessica Mixon) decide to get married. Their quick engagement prompts their parents to meet at the Blueberry Hill Bar and Grille, Johnny’s father’s place. In an unrealistic turn of events, it turns out the parents know each other and have a history. The wedding plan hits a snag. But there’s music to bring everyone together to try and work out things. Written and directed by Butch Caire Jr., the show features R&B songs from the 1950s and ’60s that were written and recorded in New Orleans. In his director’s note, Caire calls the show a “tribute to our musical heritage.” Throughout Blueberry Hill, characters sing R&B hits such as Irma Thomas’ “I Done Got Over It” and “Chapel of Love” by The Dixie Cups, and these songs help shape the story. At points, the script was predictable. Aside from the couple and their parents, characters like Donald seemed to be onstage just to deliver one-liners or harmonize. Discussion about race relations in the late 1960s was interesting and should have been further developed. Ultimately, the charm of Blueberry Hill lies in the music. I saw audience members swaying and mouthing the words to the classics. For me, the show was merely a musical history lesson, but for others it offered toe-tapping nostalgia. — TYLER GILLESPIE

JOB GURU

Dear New Orleans Job Guru, “I put my résumé online to several of the well-known job boards and also a local one. I got back a few responses that look questionable. In fact, one of them seemed like it might be a scam because they want information up front for a background check. I also checked on Craigslist for jobs and have seen ads that I’m not sure about. How can I tell the difference?” — Jamal C., New Orleans, LA

Dear Jamal, You are very smart to beware of online job-hunting scams. In some cases, criminals (often outside the U.S.) post phony job ads to convince you to send them personal information. In other cases, there may be a “phishing” link that you are directed to click on that will give thieves access to your computer. It is important to remember that cybercrimiGrant Cooper nals can often post their ads onto well-known job sites, use familiar logos, write convincing verbiage, or create links to fake websites that look nearly identical to those of legitimate companies.

Other sites may offer to provide some sort of job search assistance and charge fees for services they will never deliver. Following up to research after you have paid them, you may find that they have closed down the scam and disappeared. One specific scam that has been popular for several years advertises a position, generally at a high hourly pay for relatively easy work, then asks the applicant to “complete our short application form through the secure website in this email as the next step before a live interview.”

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > OCTOBER 8 > 2013

A list of common job scams can be found in an excellent article by Alison Doyle entitled, Readers Respond: Top Internet Job Search Job Scams (http://abt.cm/fYef8). You can also consult http://flakelist.org/ which has a “Search” button near the top allowing you to enter any phone number or email address to see if it is already listed as a flake or scam. Fraudulent online activity is a federal offense and is investigated by Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Secret Service. Victims are encouraged to report all email scams to the Los Angeles Electronic Crimes Task Force (la.ectf.reports@usss.dhs.gov).

148

Jamal, here are some suggestions for ensuring that you don’t become a victim of an online job-hunting scam: 1. Create a special web-based email address (gmail, yahoo, etc.) for all job-related communication. This way, you will protect private information in the event you are tricked into a phishing scam. 2. Do not provide personal information to online job inquiries, such as your social security number, credit card number, banking information, date of birth, home address, or marital status. 3. Verify any prospective employer, recruiter, or recruiting agency through a separate source, such as the Better Business Bureau. Find their contact information independently and then contact them directly. Better yet, visit them in person at the company location during regular work hours. 4. Learn to spot obvious phony ads by reviewing the contact information in job ads and emails, and keeping an eye out for spelling errors, incorrect English usage, email addresses that do not feature the company name, as well as spotting inconsistencies in telephone area codes or zip codes. 5. If a prospective employer or recruiter requests a background check, agree to do so only after you have met with them at their company location during regular work hours or independently verified the contact through reliable sources not related to the email or online information you received. 6. You should never have to pay for “exclusive” job leads or to get a job. Avoid anyone who asks you for money up front in exchange for finding work for you, any scheme where you are asked to deposit a money order or check from the company, or if you are requested to send them money, for any reason.
