Valerie June releases The Order of Time March 10

BY WILL COVIELLO

Norah Jones SAT. MARCH 4 | The singer-songwriter’s 2016 album Day Breaks serves as the spiritual successor to her breakthrough 2002 album Come Away with Me, returning to her jazz-influenced contemplative cool following her moody pop outbreaks. At 8 p.m. at the Saenger Theatre.

VALERIE JUNE MET THE BLACK KEYS’ DAN AUERBACH IN NEW YORK , and

after a joint songwriting session, he offered to help her record what would become her breakthrough 2013 album Pushin’ Against a Stone.

They co-wrote several songs for it and recorded it at his Nashville studio, not far from where she grew up in central Tennessee. But for her album, The Order of Time, due March 10, June knew how she wanted to capture her unique mix of folk, country, blues and soul.

“Pushin’ Against a Stone was my learning experience, my school,” June says. “I had the best teachers.

With (The Order of Time), going in, I knew a lot about being in the studio, and I felt very confident because I had been to the school.

I walked in like the professor. Each person brought their doctorates and what they do — the guitarist Andy MacLeod, the organ player Pete Remm, Norah (Jones), producer Matt Marinelli. We all created something that we love.”

Two of June’s brothers also lend vocals to a couple of songs, and one of them may join her on stage Thursday at Republic New Orleans, she says.

June wrote all of the songs on Order of Time, and many of them she started writing long before she released Pushin’ Against a Stone. The two albums have similar gentle tones, but the new album is much more of a showcase for June’s songwriting and singing, which has a distinct twang.

“Songs always tell you what they want,” she says. “I am not really a recording person. I am not really a musician, but I play three instruments. I am really a songwriter. I listen to songs and honor songs and serve them and let them tell me what they want.”

June says she doesn’t sit down to write music. Instead songs come to

her while she’s cooking, traveling and doing mundane things. But she’s wanted to be a singer since childhood, and moved to Memphis at 18 years old to pursue a music career.

She had spent almost a decade there, gaining some exposure on MTV’s $5 Cover. She suffered a setback when she was diagnosed with diabetes, and it physically exhausted her for a few years.

But with the release of The Order of Time, she’s both content and grateful.

“I live a life of complete and total gratitude in the midst of gentleness and grace,” June says. “It’s pure grace that I am able to wake up and do what I want every day. In any second, anybody’s luck could just change. We were on the road last year and we played a show in Roanoke. On the way home, this deer jumped out and we totaled the car. … It was so scary. We both made it through, but I thought, ‘Oh my god, it’s just in a couple of seconds that all of life changes.’

“When you are in a moment when your life is in complete and total alignment with all of the things you had been wishing and hopeful for, you don’t question it. You just live in complete and total gratitude. That song ‘Slip Slide On By’ (on The Order of Time) touches on that a little bit, where you are in a place where you can see that everything that you have ever done and all your intentions are all in the right place and all gracefully fell in this beautiful way.”

C’est What

# The Count

?

$1.8 billion

What’s your favorite parade experience of Mardi Gras?

What the Burger King owners paid last week — in cash — to acquire Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen.

15%

IN 1972, NATIVE NEW ORLEANIAN AL COPELAND opened a small fried chicken stand in Arabi. He later began franchising the restaurant, which he called Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, and by the end of the 1980s there were hundreds of Popeyes outlets around the country. When Copeland died in 2008, Popeyes had nearly 2,000 restaurants spread across 26 countries, and today it has more than 2,600.

Last week, the Canadian company Restaurant Brands International annouced it would purchase Popeyes for $1.8 billion. The company also owns the Canadian mega-coffee chain Tim Hortons. The deal is set to go through in April.

Despite being a chain, Popeyes has remained popular in New Orleans for its spicy chicken, “Cajun battered” fries and creamy red beans and rice. It’s also a staple food, of course, on Mardi Gras parade routes.

I-10 News on the move 1. CASSIDY TOWN HALL: FRUSTRATION — AND FUNDRAISING Town halls around the country are fractious affairs these days for Republican members of Congress and the Senate, but the crowd of hundreds that showed up at the Jefferson Parish East Bank Regional Library in Metairie Feb. 22 for a town hall with U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy was so raucous and furious that CNN began carrying it live.

People began arriving around noon. They held a parking lot rally before the doors opened at 3 p.m., so attendees already were tired of waiting when Cassidy arrived 22 minutes late to the 3:30 p.m. gathering. The senator apologized, saying he was touring tornado damage in New Orleans East, an explanation the crowd of 200 or so jeered and booed.

Cassidy attempted to explain his “Patient Freedom Act” (an alternative to the Affordable Care Act, or ACA) via a PowerPoint presentation, but gave up early and tried to take questions from the crowd via index cards. Eventually Cassidy gave up on that as well and attempted to answer shouted questions. He was mic’ed, but it was hard to hear many of his answers over the crowd noise. Asked about his vote for Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos (and the DeVos family’s financial support of his campaign), Cassidy began, “The DeVos family decided to support my political campaign because ...” The rest of his reply was inaudible over the booing. Later, he said, “When someone donates to me, they sign up for my agenda; I do not sign up for theirs.” More booing.

After the event, Gambit asked Cassidy if he thought there were paid protesters in

2. Quote of the week “I want to give New Orleans a standing ovation for taking over All-Star 2017 on short notice and doing what they always do: throwing a monster party as only New Orleans can. All-Star weekend can gobble up most cities and leave the locals a little dazed and confused after it’s over. But not New Orleans. The city, the Pelicans and Anthony Davis (MVP and now teammate of DeMarcus Cousins) won the weekend. If the Cousins trade produces the desired results, I’ll remember this as the weekend New Orleans rose from the lottery ashes.” — Sekou Smith of NBA.com

Rental registry vote deferred again The New Orleans City Council has delayed a vote, again,

the audience, as the White House and some Congress members have suggested.

“No, no,” the senator said. “I assume they’re Americans who care about our country, who feel differently about Trump than most folks in Louisiana do. But they’re coming out with their constitutionally protected right to assemble and speak. And isn’t that a good thing!”

A day later, Cassidy used the raucous gathering as the basis for a fundraising letter he emailed to potential donors. “Yesterday, at one of my town halls, some audience members resorted to shouting and jeering without taking the time to even hear my proposals,” he wrote. “I’ll listen to every Louisianan because I work for every citizen of our state, not just the ones who voted for me. But I won’t sit idly by either while liberal groups intentionally disrupt the work conservatives across the country were elected to do.”

Cassidy’s email contained several links to his campaign fundraising Web site, but no links to his “proposals” for replacing the ACA. For example, his appeal states, “The media and folks on the left claim Republicans don’t have any solutions. That’s simply not true — and we need help getting that message out.” The back end of that sentence was a link to Cassidy’s fundraising site, not to his health care plan. It asked for “$25, $50 or whatever you can afford.”

on a rental registry and inspection program. At-Large Councilman Jason Williams and District B Councilwoman LaToya Cantrell sponsored the measure to require most private residential landlords to register their properties with the city and subject them to inspections that must meet a checklist of health and safety requirements. The City Council deferred voting on the measure last month, and on Feb. 23 the council deferred the measure again to March 9.

Under the current draft of the ordinance, registration opens Jan. 1, 2018. Property owners will have to pay a $60 registration fee, then $40 for annual renewals. Landlords also will have to pay the costs of inspection.

Cantrell and Williams will “continue to work on the legislation with their fellow Council members and with New Orleans citizens to ensure the best ordinance going forward,”

according to the City Council’s agenda announcement.

4. Warrant clinic

to be held March 11

New Orleans civil rights organization Stand with Dignity hosts a warrant clinic March 11, allowing people with warrants for traffic and municipal court or outstanding fines and fees to clear their records without fear of arrest. Chief Municipal Judge Desiree Charbonnet is the coordinator. The clinic is supported by VOTE, Women with a Vision and the Loyola University New Orleans College of Law’s Gillis Long Poverty Law Center. The clinic begins at noon Saturday, March 11 at Corpus Christi Church (2022 St. Bernard Ave.).

The Justice and Accountability Center of Louisiana also hosts its monthly expungement hour at the Orleans Public Defenders of-

fice (2601 Tulane Ave., Suite 700) at 2 p.m. Wednesday, March 8.

Brossett’s bike rules to go before Council Five ordinances expanding rules and protections for bicyclists will head to the New Orleans City Council.

District D City Councilman Jared Brossett, who created the Council’s Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Advisory Committee, authored the rules, which were approved by the Council’s Transportation Committee Feb. 22.

The measures align with state laws, like banning cars from bike lanes and requiring cars to stop at pedestrian crossings that have flashing yellow lights. Bicyclists also must yield to pedestrians and use their left and right hands to signal a turn.

New Orleans Regional Planning Commission’s Dan

Jatres says there aren’t clear state or local rules for skateboarders using bike lanes. He says the advisory committee is likely to look into that.

6. ‘Smart mix’ for

low-income housing?

New apartment buildings in New Orleans could be required to set aside 12 percent of their units for low-income residents. The New Orleans City Council will consider a “smart housing mix” report from the New Orleans City Planning Commission that determined mandatory inclusionary zoning rules for Bywater, Marigny, Lakeview and Uptown neighborhoods.

Under the rules, buildings with 10 or more units would be required to save at least 12 percent of their units for people who earn $23,400 or less.

Those units would be offered at a reduced rent.

The City Council will con-

Jim Gaffigan, Louie Anderson coming to town — on the same night New Orleans has gained stature as a comedy town in recent years, but having two nationally known comedians playing at major theaters at the same time? That will be the case April 21, when Louie Anderson and Jim Gaffigan perform in New Orleans on different stages. Anderson will be at the Joy Theater, while Gaffigan is at the Saenger Theatre.

Tickets to both shows went on sale Friday, Feb. 24.

Anderson recently was awarded a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for his performance as Christine Baskets (mother of Chip and Dale, twins played by Zach Galifianakis) on the FX series Baskets. Its second season premiered last month.

Gaffigan starred in The Jim Gaffigan Show on TV Land for two years. His “Noble Ape” tour follows his latest hourlong stand-up special, Cinco, which debuted on Netflix last month.

8. Tulane to hold discussion on Beyonce’s Lemonade

In conjunction with International Women’s Day, Tulane University’s Gender and Sexuality Studies Program hosts a roundtable discussion on Beyonce’s New Orleans-centric visual album Lemonade and its exploration of race and gender in the South.

On the panel are Regina Bradley, a Harvard University Nasir Jones Hiphop Fellow and African-American literature professor at Armstrong State University; New Orleans filmmaker and Loyola University New Orleans professor Garrett Bradley; Mardi Gras Indian Queen Sula Janet Evans; and Tulane professor Nghana Lewis.

The New Orleans Center for the Gulf South and Newcomb College Institute also support the event, held at Tulane’s Rogers Memorial Chapel at 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 8.

Nix branch to reopen March 6 The Nix branch of the New Orleans Public Library, in the Carrollton

neighborhood, will reopen March 6 after four months of renovations that included a new floor plan, paint, additional public computers and general infrastructure repair.

Nix also will have new landscaping and lighting when it reopens.

Hours will remain the same. The library opens at 10 a.m. Monday-Saturday and closes at 8 p.m.

Monday-Thursday and 5 p.m. Friday-Saturday.

10. JCC receives bomb threat

A bomb threat called into the Jewish Community Center (JCC) on St. Charles Avenue Feb. 23 was among more than 60 similar threats at Jewish centers across the U.S. in 2017.

On Twitter, Mayor Mitch Landrieu assured the threat was “non-credible” and that the FBI is investigating. While the bombs have all been deemed “hoaxes,” Jewish centers nationwide and members of Congress said the threats are very real.

In a letter to Department of Homeland Security Director John Kelly, Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Director James Comey, Florida U.S. Rep. Stephanie Murphy and New York U.S. Rep. Joseph Crowley — along with dozens of members of Congress and Jewish-led groups — demanded swift action from law enforcement agencies.

According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), in 2016, there was “one anti-Semitic assault reported in this country every week, and at least two anti-Jewish incidents on average every single day.” The ADL’s Task Force on Harassment and Journalism counted — from August 2015 to July 2016 — nearly 3 million anti-Semitic tweets. Over the last month, 53 centers in 26 states and one center in Canada received 68 calls, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. President Donald Trump sidestepped questions about the threats during a Feb. 16 press conference. On Tuesday, Feb. 21, Trump called the threats “horrible and are painful and a very sad reminder of the work that still must be done to root out hate and prejudice and evil.”

Jewish Voice for Peace New Orleans (JVP), which helped organize a week of actions and presented a list of demands to city and state officials in the wake of Trump’s immigration order, said the administration is “flirting with anti-Semitism at the highest levels” in failing to name targets of the Nazi Holocaust and for defecting questions about anti-Semitism in the U.S. by echoing Trump’s support for Israel.

COMMENTARY

What ‘diversity’ means IF YOU WERE DOWNTOWN IN THE DAYS BEFORE OR DURING THE RECENT NBA ALL-STAR GAME, you probably saw

the giant mural on the side of Benson Tower. It was a portrait of Pelicans star Anthony Davis with one word: EQUALITY. This time last year, the city of Charlotte, North Carolina was preparing to host the 2017 All-Star Game, with all its attendant fanfare, publicity and tourism dollars.

Then, in a one-day special session last March, North Carolina lawmakers passed HB2, the so-called “bathroom bill,” which prohibited municipal anti-discrimination laws. North Carolina had no specific protections for LGBT citizens, but Charlotte and several other cities had passed their own nondiscrimination protections.

With the stroke of a pen, then-Gov. Pat McCrory undid those ordinances. (McCrory subsequently was defeated in a close race , due largely to negative reaction to HB2.)

The NBA’s response sent a clear message. After failing to convince North Carolina to repeal the bill, the league pulled its All-Star Game in July, citing opposition to HB2. New Orleans and Louisiana tourism leaders pounced. In August, the league announced it was moving the game to New Orleans, which had adopted

Diversity is good for business, particularly when it comes to welcoming all. its own nondiscrimination ordinances in the 1990s. Louisiana also bars hiring practices that discriminate against gays and lesbians, dating from an executive order signed by then-Gov. Edwin Edwards in 1992. Subsequent Republican governors (Mike Foster, Bobby Jindal) let that order lapse, but Gov. John Bel Edwards reissued it last year, adding the term “gender identity” in recognition of transgender people.

Local leaders know diversity is good for business, particularly when it comes to welcoming all. In a wrap-

up of the All-Star weekend, Mayor Mitch Landrieu said “diversity” and “inclusion” were key to attracting the event and making it a success.

But there’s more to “diversity” than passing laws. Over the years, diversity made New Orleans a food capital and the birthplace of America’s one true art form — jazz — along with Dixieland, bounce and other indigenous music. Diversity drives our thriving hospitality industry because we’re happy to see people from all over the world — and we want to show them a good time.

Right now, Texas is weighing its own version of HB2. Senate Bill 6 in the Lone Star State, championed by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, would accomplish many of the same goals as North Carolina’s HB2. Texas state Sen. Bob Hall has Senate Bill 92, which would undo individual cities’ protections for LGBT citizens and block future protections, wiping out nondiscrimination laws in Austin, Dallas, San Antonio and other big cities in Texas.

The NBA and NFL have warned Texas against such pernicious bills.

“The NFL embraces inclusiveness,” a spokesman told the Houston Chronicle. “NFL policies prohibit discrimination based on age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation or any other improper standard.”

We hope Texas lawmakers do the right thing and scuttle these bills. If they don’t, we have a message for the NBA, the NFL and any other group or business that values diversity: Everyone’s welcome in New Orleans.

CLANCY DUBOS

Budget fight is all politics Gov. John Bel Edwards (left) and state Attorney General Jeff Landry tussled over budget cuts in the special session, but Landry’s motivation is more political than economic.

ON THE SURFACE, THE SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE SESSION THAT ENDED LAST WEEK RESEMBLED A SMALL STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. Gov.

John Bel Edwards and recalcitrant ideologues in the House of Representatives hammered out a budget deal to cover a $304 million hole in the current fiscal year’s budget — without any last-minute votes on hastily cobbled compromises.

Beneath the surface, however, the partisan divide is as wide and as deep as ever between Edwards and leading House Republicans, with the GOP-controlled Senate generally in the governor’s corner.

If you think fiscal policy drives Louisiana’s budget discussions, think again. It’s all politics.

The House’s Republican leadership, particularly GOP Delegation chair Lance Harris of Alexandria and Appropriations Committee chair Cameron Henry of Jefferson (who many say is the real power in the House), is doing all it can to undermine Edwards at every turn.

Oh, they have plenty of genuine disagreements about public policy, but when balancing the state’s $27 billion budget stalls over $4 million escrowed in the state attorney general’s office, well, the fight is obviously about more than money.

In this case, it was about taking money from the budget of Republican Attorney General Jeff Landry, who has all but declared his candidacy against Edwards in 2019.

Landry, you may recall, is the grandstanding buffoon who sent a crime fighting “task force” into the New Orleans French Quarter for three months and then boasted that his team had made a grand total of 11 arrests. During that same period, New Orleans cops made

more than 6,000 collars. Landry also has made a political cottage industry of opposing the governor’s anti-discrimination protections for the LGBT community, despite the fact that Landry has a gay sibling.

The enmity between Landry and Edwards runs deep.

Until the session began, many House Republicans crowed that a special session wasn’t even needed.

They said the state certainly didn’t need to tap the so-called rainy day fund, as Edwards had proposed (to the tune of $119 million). When the session started and Henry’s committee actually had to produce an alternate budget proposal, the chairman’s opening offer was $75 million from the fund — after weeks of a GOP chorus against tapping the fund at all.

Days later, the governor and House Republicans agreed on a draw of $99 million from the fund, but deadlocked over how much to cut Landry’s budget.

Edwards wanted to whack it by $6 million, which smacked of political payback. When Landry’s House allies threatened to tank the deal, the governor relented.

But there’s a catch: That $4 million is in an escrow account, which means Landry might not be able to access it.

The regular annual session begins April 10, with next year’s budget deficit looming and another opportunity for Edwards to lock horns with Landry and House Republicans — amid calls for fiscal reform.

Ah, there’s a quaint concept: fiscal reform. The chances of that happening in the current political climate make the Saints look like a lock to win the next three Super Bowls.

Francis William Gregory was a leader in local education circles for more than 50 years. For about 20 of those years he was principal of the old Boys’ High School and its successor, Warren Easton High School, the first high school in the state.

Born in New York in 1861, Gregory was a graduate of the University of Michigan. His family had moved to New Orleans by that point. After graduation, he joined them here in 1885, entering the public schools of New Orleans as a teacher at McDonogh 16. He became principal four months later.

According to Robert Meyer Jr.’s book Names Over New Orleans Public Schools, Gregory became principal of McDonogh 1 High School in 1896. In 1913, he became principal of Boys’ High School, later renamed to honor Warren Easton, who was the state’s first school superintendent. According to Gregory’s 1933 obituary, he

Francis William Gregory was principal for two decades at what today is Warren Easton Charter High School.

was known to his students by the nicknames “Deak,” “Greggs” and “Uncle Frank.”

More than 25 years after his death, the Orleans Parish School Board built a school in Gentilly bearing Gregory’s name. Francis W. Gregory Junior High, at 1700 Pratt Drive, was dedicated on Jan. 17, 1960. It was built to educate 1,000 students from the seventh through ninth grades. The six-building campus included 41 classrooms, a cafeteria, gymnasium and library. The school was demolished in 2011.

cially, with their landmark recording session 100 years ago this week. The band, led by cornetist Nick LaRocca, recorded “Livery Stable Blues,” the first-ever commercial jazz recording, on Feb. 26, 1917. It was released on March 5 of that same year. Though the band was made up of New Orleanians (LaRocca, clarinetist Larry Shields, trombonist Eddie Edwards, pianist Henry Ragas and drummer Tony Sbarbaro), it found fame in Chicago and recorded in New York. “Livery Stable Blues,” recorded on the Victor label with its flipside “Dixieland Jass Band One-Step,” sold more than 1 million copies. The group made more recordings, including the well-known “Tiger Rag,” which LaRocca wrote. The band’s place in history continues to be debated, especially because of LaRocca’s claims that his band never got the credit it deserved for pioneering jazz and being the first to record it.

The group broke up in 1939 and LaRocca retired from music. He died in 1961. His son Jimmy continues to perform in a band bearing the original group’s name.

FOR MURDER REDUCTION

BY JEFF ASHER | @CRIMEALYTICS

Murder in New Orleans is worse per capita than it is in Chicago — and statistics from the first two months of the year suggest 2017 will be bloodier than 2016.

A New Orleans-based crime analyst offers a four-point prescription to curb the violence.

AT A PRESS CONFERENCE BEFORE THE FEB. 17-19 WEEKEND — during

which the first big parades of Carnival season rolled, the NBA All-Star Game was in town and the French Quarter was thronged with tourists — Mayor Mitch Landrieu and New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) Chief Michael Harrison announced a “zero tolerance” policy for guns in the Quarter and on parade routes.

NOPD, they said, was at “100 percent” staffing for the weekend (590 NOPD officers and 165 Louisiana State Police were on the street); undercover officers wearing body armor patrolled the tourist district; some Quarter streets were closed to vehicular traffic; and special barricades were set up along Bourbon Street to prevent cars from driving down the road.

The following Monday, the city touted the weekend’s success, calling it a “slam dunk” and noting that there were 100 arrests and 12 illegal weapons taken off the street over the weekend.

Despite these successes and the city’s precautions, however, the tourism and hospitality industry “slam dunk” also was a violent, and not atypical, weekend in New Orleans.

Around 8:45 p.m., two people were shot near Lee Circle as the Krewe of Pygmalion approached the CBD, not far from where two people were shot during the 2015 Krewe of Muses parade.

About six hours later, two men were shot in the 1500 block of Canal Street not far from the French Quarter. One died.

In all, seven people were hit by gunfire over the weekend, and there also was a fatal stabbing in the Freret neighborhood — all this with an official “zero tolerance” policy and full police staffing.

Despite years of city initiatives (some of which have borne fruit), violent crime is on the upswing again in New Orleans.

Crime analyst Jeff Asher looks at the numbers and offers some solutions.

— EDITOR

NEW ORLEANS HAS MUCH TO BE PROUD OF AS WE APPROACH OUR 300TH ANNIVERSARY,

but murder is among our great shames. Last year, 174 people were murdered in New Orleans, making it the 45th consecutive year with 150 or more people murdered here.

We have ranked first or second nationally in terms of murder rate in 17 of the past 23 years.

Although it’s early in 2017, this year is off to a particularly bad start, with shootings up 75 percent and murder up 183 percent relative to 2016, as February 23.

There is no reason our murder rates must remain this high for the next half century.

The city’s commitment to open data and new research into what works in gun violence reduction suggests murder in New Orleans is a problem that can be analyzed, understood and ultimately addressed by policies and strategies designed to counteract its underlying causes.

Here are some of the ways we can get there:

1

Relieve the

MANPOWER CRISIS

There were 1,473 commissioned New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) officers when the Saints won the Super Bowl in early 2010 and just more than 1,050 as 2016 came to a close.

A well-financed, professional, and aggressive recruitment campaign has led to only a few more commissioned officers in NOPD since the department bottomed out in late 2014.

Growing police departments is a slow and difficult process everywhere these days.

In New Orleans, it’s also imperative. In order to sustainably reduce murder and crime, we must relieve NOPD’s manpower crisis.

There is a clear correlation in New Orleans between the size of NOPD and crime in New PAGE 14

Orleans. As NOPD manpower decreased 25 percent from 2010 to 2015, crime went up 25 percent.

Lower staffing has contributed to longer response times, lower clearance rates and a decrease in the amount of time officers can spend doing proactive policing.

There are a few ways the problem can be attacked, and the most obvious is to continue NOPD and the New Orleans Police & Justice Foundation’s recruitment and retention efforts. It will take years to replace the commissioned officers lost since 2010, but the difficulty of the task does not diminish its importance.

New Orleans should consider another pay raise for officers in order to improve both recruitment and retention. NOPD pay recently was bumped 15 percent to bring the department roughly on par with or ahead of many of its regional competitors. Being a police officer in New Orleans, however, can be more difficult and stressful than being a police officer in surrounding parishes. If NOPD wants to compete nationally for the best recruits, salary levels must compete with (or exceed) those of departments throughout the country. For example, an NOPD officer makes roughly what a Houston Police Department (HPD) officer makes as a recruit (an average $42, 391 for NOPD officers and $42,000 for HPD). After a year, however, the HPD officer is making 7 percent more than the NOPD officer, and after six years the gap is about 18 percent ($58, 729 for NOPD cops and $71,345 for HPD officers). If the hiring freeze earlier this decade proved anything, it’s that the men and women behind the badge are the most valuable resources in which the city can invest.

Another way of relieving the manpower crisis is to find ways of enabling NOPD to focus its primary energies on the most important tasks.

In 2016, NOPD officers spent 43,785 hours handling non-injury auto accidents (including hit-andruns) and other traffic incidents.

That means 14.4 percent of the time law enforcement officers spent responding to calls for service last year was dedicated to handling traffic-related non-emergencies, many of which could be handled via other means. Another 20,000 hours were spent dealing with burglar alarms and assorted suspicious persons incidents that were emergencies in name only.

Reducing the number of these types of calls that NOPD must handle should be a priority. The city and police department have taken numerous steps to do this in

the last few years, though many of them have only been proposed or are not yet fully up to speed.

Investment in technology also can help close some of the gap.

The city announced plans late last year to add more than 50 license plate reader cameras at about 40 locations, and the city’s new security plan will add more than 200 cameras and a command center to monitor it all.

NOPD also would be wellserved by expanding its capability to use DNA testing. A research paper released in July 2016 found that DNA testing has the power to reduce recidivism by taking peope who commit crimes off the streets through higher clearance rates and deterring potential repeat offenders in the process. NOPD plans to build a new $20.8 million crime lab which likely would include needed DNA testing capabilities.

NOPD solved more than half of the city’s murders in 2010, but that clearance fell to just a quarter of murders in 2016. More officers, fewer commitments, and better technologies are a needed prerequisite to reducing murder and lowering crime throughout the city.

Impact the

DRUG TRADE A 2011 report by the Bureau of Justice Assistance found drugs to be the motive in 29 percent of homicides. It is no coincidence that each of the gang indictments issued from 2012 to 2015 in New Orleans refers to “high volume street level drug dealing” or other major narcotics offenses on the part of gang members.

Drugs, combined with related arguments and retribution, are the motive in nearly three-quarters of all killings, and nearly 90 percent of all New Orleans murders are rooted in drugs, arguments, retribution or robberies, according to a review of NOPD homicide data.

Impacting the city’s illicit drug trade in a way that avoids the mistakes of the past is complex and difficult. Affecting the drug trade is important, but so is doing it in a way that would not cause significantly higher incarceration rates in New Orleans.

Enforcement efforts against the city’s drug trade have fallen in the last few years. A June 2014 The Times-Picayune | NOLA.com article noted that narcotics units would be merged with proactive patrol units to form “general assignment” units at the district level. These changes were made to relieve the strain NOPD has felt due to falling manpower. This change appears to have had a profound impact on NOPD narcotics enforcement, particularly in terms of Schedule I and Schedule II drugs (cocaine, heroin, opioids, etc.), which declined over 50 percent between the first half of 2014 and the second half of 2016.

Possession of small quantities of marijuana, by contrast, fell only 5 percent over the same time span.

More officers on the streets can help alleviate some of these issues, but the problem is more complicated than just identifying and arresting drug dealers. New Orleans also must invest more resources into innovative programs such as Pre-Arrest Diversion, which can help steer people toward help and away from future interactions with the city’s criminal justice apparatus.

The city also should explore other legal mechanisms to help people avoid recidivism. A December 2016 research paper by a pair of economists found that expanded use of court deferrals for first-time felony drug offenders lowered recidivism and raised employment. The paper, “Avoiding Convictions: Regression Discontinuity Evidence on Court Deferrals for First-Time Drug Offenders” calls deferral programs “an attractive and feasible option for a jurisdiction seeking to reduce the fiscal cost and community impact of its criminal justice system.”

The city’s drug trade fuels gun violence, so any effort to reduce gun violence must address the difficult challenge of the city’s drug trade.

LOCATE RISK and INTERVENE It’s sometimes said that gun violence is “sticky.” This means gun violence tends to occur disproportionately at certain places and involves certain groups of people.

There were nearly as many shootings in NOPD’s 5th Dis-

trict (Seventh Ward, St. Roch, Ninth Ward, Bywater) and 7th District (New Orleans East) in the last six months of 2016 as in all of the other NOPD districts combined. In addition, roughly one-third of all 2016 shootings occurred within one of the two circles in Central City and the Seventh Ward.

But it’s not just places; it’s people too.

Young African-American men are at much higher risk for involvement in gun violence than anyone else in major American cities. In 2016, African-American men in their 20s in New Orleans had a murder rate of roughly 319 per 100,000. That’s 60 times the national average of just more than five per 100,000 last year. Nearly 70 percent of murder victims in New Orleans last year were African-American men aged 15 to 44.

Research, however, shows that the risk of gun violence victimization goes far deeper than age, race and gender.

Yale University sociologist Andrew Papachristos has done groundbreaking research into the intense concentrations of gun violence within social networks and the tendency of risk to spread like a virus through social networks. Not only do we know gun violence is concentrated heavily within a fraction of the city’s overall population, but research shows we can identify individuals at significantly higher risk for being a victim of gun violence.

There is a big difference between intuitively knowing gun violence primarily affects a small percentage of the population and identifying and engaging specific individuals in social intervention programs to prevent that risk from becoming reality.

As a recent article in The Guardian noted, “Rather than making the problem easier to fix, the intense concentration of gun violence has simply made it easier for many Americans to ignore the ongoing devastation.”

If you want to reduce murder, however, these concentrations are where you must start.

According to Papachristos: “If we have this social map, we can send first responders, trauma specialists, interventionists and police if necessary.” Identifying who is most at risk for gun violence victimization creates a moral imperative to act.

Invest — a lot — in SOCIAL

INTERVENTION PROGRAMS Besides the incalculable human costs, the financial costs society bears for murder are astronomical. It has been estimated that an individual murder victim costs society somewhere around $9 million or $10 million counting lost wages, medical expenses, investigative/prosecutorial/jailing costs and everything else that goes along with the unexpected loss of a life.

By that calculus, murder in New Orleans cost our city roughly $12.1 billion between 2010 and 2016 — not to mention the expenses incurred by the 2,700-plus nonfatal shooting victims over that span.

Non-law enforcement resources dedicated to combatting this problem, however, have received a fraction of that funding.

If we are going to sustainably reduce gun violence in New Orleans, we must commit much more to social programs designed to intervene in gun violence before it occurs.

Some very good results have come out of NOLA for Life, but the Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice Coordination, the City Hall entity tasked with oversight of NOLA for Life and various other programs, has operated on an average annual budget of less than $4 million, including an average of $1.4 million from the city’s general fund.

City-funded programs should focus on providing employment, housing, education and mentorship specifically to the people most at risk for becoming victims of gun violence — and these resources cannot be devoted exclusively to the city’s children. We should be mindful that 90 percent of murder victims last year were over 20 years old, and their median age was 30.

Long-term gun violence reduction can’t be accomplished on the cheap, and it can’t be realized if we view solutions solely through a law enforcement lens. Investing significant resources in programs to provide a relatively concentrated subset of high-risk individuals with a wide array of assistance and services is a necessary step to sustainably reducing murder.

between 2010 and 2016 — TO SAY NOTHING OF THE COSTS INCURRED BY THE

2,700+ NONFATAL SHOOTING VICTIMS OVER THAT SPAN.

JEFF ASHER IS A NEW ORLEANSBASED CRIME ANALYST WHO ONCE WORKED FOR THE CITY IN THAT CAPACITY. HE RUNS THE NOLA CRIME NEWS DATA ANALYSIS WEBSITE (WWW. NOLACRIMENEWS.COM) AND CONTRIBUTES TO WWL-TV, THE NEW ORLEANS ADVOCATE AND FIVETHIRTYEIGHT.COM.

IT WAS A LITTLE MORE THAN 10 YEARS AGO WHEN THE U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS CALLED THE NEW ORLEANS HURRICANE PROTECTION SYSTEM “A SYSTEM IN NAME ONLY.” In many respects, the same words could be used to describe the New Orleans criminal justice system, particularly as it pertains to gun violence reduction.

But the opportunity exists to begin rectifying this historical problem. The key is to mix an in-depth understanding of the patterns and drivers of gun violence with adequately funded social programs designed to interact appropriately with those individuals known to be at the highest risk for gun violence.

Throw in a larger, reformed

and more technologically savvy police force, and you have the recipe for gun violence reduction.

The criminal justice system can’t ignore drug crimes, but it can serve as a vehicle for preventing future recidivism.

Dramatically reducing murder in New Orleans makes both moral and economic sense. New Orleans has been a leader in so many areas throughout its nearly 300-year history, so why not become a model for sustainable murder reduction in an urban environment?

At Altamura, there’s an East Coast influence, as the elegant new restaurant from ManhattanJack duo Jack Petronella and chef Coleman Jernigan pays tribute to spots in New Jersey and Manhattan where Petronella ate as a child. On weekend evenings, a piano player holds court on the restaurant’s baby grand, and it’s likely diners will hear a Frank Sinatra tune or two, which evokes an Empire state of mind.

The restaurant is named for the hillside region in Puglia, Italy from which Petronella’s grandparents emigrated. The menu features a heavy Northeastern accent, and it isn’t your standard red sauce joint. Instead, the menu reflects the restaurant’s elegant surroundings, a 19th-century mansion that also functions as a boutique hotel.

Clams arrive on tiny shells, covered in a blanket of bacon bits and diced green and red bell peppers in Clams Casino. One of the most interesting — and decadent — starters is spiedini mozzarella, in which a bundle of crusty bread layers and thick slices of mozzarella are fried as a whole and served with buttery lemon, caper and anchovy sauce.

The oozing cheese and crispy exterior get an acidic kick from the lemon and capers and pair perfectly with the anchovy’s umami-rich funk.

There’s not much on the menu that could be described as light, but an excellent tri colore salad is simple and satisfying, with bitter endive, radicchio and arugula in a punchy balsamic vinaigrette.

The menu’s lengthy list of entrees includes pasta dishes and interpretations of Italian classics. Veal piccata is cooked scallopine-style, and thin slices of meat stayed surprisingly milky and tender, served draped in a buttery lemon emulsion with capers.

An outstanding pasta dish features light-as-air ricotta gnocchi covered in a hearty Bolognese made with beef, pork and veal. Equally satisfying are the spaghetti and meatballs, a classic rendition featuring hearty, golf ball-sized meatballs and bright red sauce.

Go fish responsibly

3-COURSE INTERVIEW

Michael Nelson CHEF GW FINS EXECUTIVE CHEF MICHAEL NELSON

recently participated in the James Beard Foundation’s annual Boot Camp program, where chefs from around the U.S. discuss and learn food policy and advocacy skills.

This year’s event focused on waste reduction. Nelson advocates eliminating food waste in the kitchen and incorporates less commonly used cuts of fish on his menus.

Nelson spoke to Gambit about the benefits and methods of eliminating food waste and how using different cuts of fish can benefit restaurants and diners.

What got you interested in food waste reduction?

CHEFS CODY AND SAMANTHA CARROLL OF SAC-A-LAIT (1051

Annunciation St., 504-324-3658; www.sac-a-laitrestaurant.com) will join members of the Audubon Nature Institute to host a Sea to Table dinner at the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas Geaux Fish! exhibit March 9.

The event is designed to raise awareness of sustainable fishing practices in the Gulf and will benefit the Audubon Nature Institute Gulf United for Lasting Fisheries (www.audubongulf.org) and Louisiana Sea Grant.

Chef Alan Ehrich of the Audubon Tea Room and chef Thad Davis of the Audubon Clubhouse will join the Carrolls in preparing a multi-course seafood dinner featuring local, sustainably caught fish provided by Inland Seafood and Whole Foods Market.

During the dinner, guests will learn about sustainability efforts and fishing practices in the Gulf of Mexico, and Whole Foods representatives will discuss the company’s sustainability efforts and ratings system. Both Whole Foods and Inland Seafood are advocates for better sustainability practices in the fishing industry and both ensure traceability of their fish from the boat to the table.

The dinner is 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Tickets cost $40 and include wine pairings.

— HELEN FREUND

NELSON: For several years I’ve been thinking about fish going in the direction of the nose-to-tail movement, the way chefs went with pork several years ago. I feel like there’s so much wasted product when it comes to fish because most people are so focused on eating just the fillet off the side of the fish, but there’s so much more opportunity there. At GW Fins, we only buy whole fish, so I think we think a little bit differently about it.

Over the years we’ve found ways to increase our yield because we’ve developed our own ways to utilize that product. I’ve tried to think of ways to utilize all of the fish and market it in a way that the guest can get really excited about it. It’s not an easy process, and it’s a slow process to get people comfortable with parts of the fish they’re not used to.

Elsewhere in the world, this isn’t even spoken of because people eat the whole fish. In a lot of Asian countries, people are going to fight over the head of the fish, and here nobody wants it. I have plenty of employees who, throughout the years, would beg to take those parts home, and part of my learning curve has been through them. They taught me a thing or two about how to enjoy more of the fish.

For instance, I take the collars off all the fish we get, whether it’s snapper, drum, sheepshead — any of those sized fish — and I remove them and trim them down to where all that’s left is a piece of meat with a small fin that kind of sticks out. Usually I just quickly tempura fry it. The idea is that

you can hold it by the fin and eat it just like a chicken wing. I haven’t thrown out a fish collar in maybe a year and a half. I’ve gone to the fish houses and trained them how to remove the collars so that they can sell me their fish collars just so I can keep up with the demand.

The idea for all this — and the reason why I approached the James Beard (Foundation) — is that I would like to find a platform where I could share these ideas and get more chefs interested in what I’m doing and what can be done.

As far as sustainability is concerned, everybody wants to talk about targeting this fish or targeting that fish. What happens when you target a fish? It becomes no longer sustainable. I’m trying to get people to back up and think about utilizing more of the fish that we already have. There are so many options in there and room for creative genius for chefs to figure out how to make delicious fish dishes.

What are the benefits of cutting waste in a commercial restaurant kitchen from a food cost perspective?

N: From a chef’s perspective, as much as we’d like to tell you that it’s all about sustainability, a lot of this gets started with (food cost).

We’re all about our food cost and utilizing the products that we get, especially when we get really beautiful things. Of course, we’re paying good money for them, but we really want to utilize it and respect it.

The way I train my fish butchers at the restaurant, we typically get a better yield than any fish house.

We’re always cutting for yield and

not for speed. I think that, just by doing a few things like changing they way you’re cutting the fish and harvesting things that people aren’t usually eating, you can get five to 10 percent more fish out of what you already have. I went to some of the fish houses and I asked them how many pounds of a particular species they had purchased last year as well as how many pounds of fish they sold. Based on the conversations I’ve had, I’d say an average of over 60 percent of all the fish that these places purchase goes directly into the garbage.

There’s not much of an outlet for this. It goes directly to the landfill. It’s pretty frustrating to the (fish houses) too, because they’re paying somebody to take it away. So they’re pretty receptive about these ideas and what they can do to reduce waste. I’ve even had to train the fishermen how to treat my fish. For example, the red snapper is a fish that’s gutted right on the boat. If (the fishermen) aren’t doing it correctly, they’re ruining the belly and the wing. They just had no idea that it would ever make a difference to anybody.

How beneficial is using so-called “trash” fish in promoting sustainable seafood use at restaurants?

N: We use a lot of trash fish, but I think that word is kind of losing its meaning because I think people are starting to realize how great all these fish are. At our restaurant, we’re always going to have at least 12 fish on our menu. We really love any fish we can get our hands on.

Locally, sheepshead is one of the greatest fish you can get, and it just gets a bad rap. I think the reason it’s considered trash fish is because of the fishermen. Some of these fish are a little bit more difficult to cut, and because of that, I think they shy away from it. It’s not that these fish taste bad at all. It’s just that they are really hard to clean.

It’s just a stigma a lot of these species get that is undeserved.

Every fish can kind of be cut the same. They all have a similar structure, and I think everyone gets into the habit of treating them all the same way. There are different species where, if you just do it a little bit differently, boom! All these really beautiful pieces of meat show up. — HELEN FREUND

junk when Eric and Leah Jensen purchased it for their brewery and taproom, and they repurposed much of what is inside the brewery today.

Brewing equipment lines two walls of the taproom.

“I love drinking with the equipment,” Eric says. “I think it makes the beer taste better.”

Eric built the cooler, bar area and tap system. In the restrooms, he used reclaimed wood for stalls and doors.

Parleaux’s outdoor space is lined with fruit trees. One old shipping container provides storage space and another has been stripped to its frame and painted bright green.

It will be used for seating.

2015 Domaine Bousquet Malbec Tupungato, Argentina Retail $10-$16

ARGENTINA HAS ATTRACTED RENOWNED VINTNERS FROM FRANCE, ITALY AND CALIFORNIA to cultivate new

wines. A third-generation winemaker, Frenchman Jean Bousquet settled on a vineyard in the Mendoza region to make this malbec. The vineyard is located 40 miles south of the city of Mendoza, situated along the Andes mountains at 4,000 feet above sea level. Grapes grow in alluvial soils and the mild climate provides daily sunlight and cool nights. The contrasting temperature ranges extend the ripening period, which improves the varietal character while retaining good acidity in the fruit. Hand-harvested organic grapes were fermented in temperature-controlled vats for 12 days and macerated for 30 days. The wine was aged in French and American oak for six months. In the glass, it offers aromas of blackberry, black currants and spice. On the palate, taste dark cherry, ripe plum, herbal notes and well-integrated tannins. Decant 30 minutes before serving.

Drink it with pork, beef, duck and firm cheeses. Buy it at: Zuppardo’s Family Supermarket, Pearl Wine Co., Hong Kong Food Market, W.I.N.O. and Whole Foods Market in Mandeville. Drink it at: Trinity, Chuck’s Sports Bar and the Hilton New Orleans Airport Hotel bar.

the compact brewery and taproom Brieux Carre Brewing Company (2115 Decatur St., 504304-4242) features a cozy bar area with 12 taps. There’s a beer garden in back.

Owner Robert Bostick, head brewer Taylor Pellerin, investors and friends built the brewery, from hand-mixing concrete and digging drainage trenches to creating the bar top from a tree they found near Bogue Falaya. Local brewhouse fabricator Craft Kettle Brewing Equipment made the brewing system.

“Literally everything in here has a story behind it,” Bostick says.

Brieux Carre and Parleaux Beer Labin Bywater are awaiting permits from the city and the state and will be able to brew and serve beer within weeks of receiving them.

At Brieux Carre, Bostick and Pellerin have been working on brewing recipes, including easy-drinking beers such as the Breaux Carre Helles and Brieux Tang Cream Ale, as well as more adventurous styles like Pomeranian Imperial Saison.

In Bywater, between The Joint and Bacchanal Wine, shades of blue, green and teal decorate Parleaux Beer Lab (4224 Royal St.; www.parleauxbeerlab.com).

SOCIALISM RED FLAG: Bearing witness to this self-immolation by Washington, D.C.’s Priests will set you back $10. Don’t have a sawbuck? Five dollars will do. Don’t have a Lincoln? A Washington? Forget it — get inside, you Bernie Sanders voter, you. With admission based on a sliding scale and the disclaimer “No one turned away for lack of funds,” the show is counting on people who can to do the right thing, which is proving to be an increasingly dicey proposition in America these days. Priests know this better than anyone.

The swaggering punk band had a front seat to 2016’s nationalistic coup d’etat, sure, and its self-released debut LP, Nothing Feels Natural, stormed the Potomac exactly one week after Inauguration Day. But singer Katie Alice Greer has been shouting this tune for years: “Everything’s so right wing,” she sings on 2014 EP Bodies and Control and Money and Power, a record that reveled in its anti-establishmentism (“I’m disappointed in Y2K / Why didn’t things turn out that way?” goes withering closer “And Breeding,” a national anthem for the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement if ever there was one). Nothing Feels Natural has more fun with it, because what the hell else is it supposed to do? “Feels good to buy something you can’t afford,” she chants on opener “Appropriate,” followed by the best insult ever levied at capitalism: “Contestant, you’re on Wheel of Fortune!” It’s reason enough to pay more than $10, and it’s damn near guaranteed to feel good.

REVIEW

The Red Turtle

IT’S NO WONDER THAT ANIMATED FILMS • Showtimes vary HAVE COME TO SYMBOLIZE THE COMMER• The Broad Theater, 636 N. CIAL EXCESSES of 21st-century Hollywood.

Budgets for animated blockbusters routinely Broad St., (504) 218-1008; exceed $200 million and take years and an army of animators to produce, even with the www.thebroadtheater.com benefit of today’s highly specialized digital tools. Such large and risky investments often result in overstuffed films designed primarily to sell as much tie-in merchandise as possible.

Dutch animator Michael Dudok de Wit’s The Red Turtle offers a much-needed antidote to that wearying trend. Co-produced by Japanese anime specialists Studio Ghibli (Spirited Away) and a variety of European production houses, The Red Turtle opts for understated elegance over crass commercialism. Almost entirely hand-drawn — with quirks and small imperfections left intact — it uses the story of a man shipwrecked on a desert island to drive a visually seductive, Zen-like film that examines the cycles of life and our relationship to the natural world.

The 80-minute, Academy Award-nominated (Best Animated Feature) The Red Turtle includes not a word of spoken dialogue. Taking its place are the behavior and body language of the film’s characters and the varied sounds of nature, all of which keep viewers engaged and tell a simple yet powerful story.

As The Red Turtle begins, turbulent seas toss an unnamed man who apparently has lost his ship to the storm. He washes ashore on a remote island with enough food and fresh water to support physical survival, but his solitude weighs heavily on him over time. The story gradually transforms into a fable after the man encounters a red sea turtle while trying to escape the island.

Dudok de Wit is known mainly for two short, minimalist animated films, the Oscar-nominated The Monk and the Fish and Oscar-winning Father and Daughter.

These works are widely admired by anime pioneers including Studio Ghibli’s Isao Takahata and Toshio Suzuki, who suggested Dudok de Wit make his first foray into feature-length work with what became The Red Turtle.

You don’t have to be an expert in Japanese culture to recognize a spiritual connection between that country’s worldview and Dudok de Wit’s work. (The two groundbreaking shorts are available for free viewing on YouTube.) Simplicity and humility are primary attributes and make working without dialogue not only possible, but advisable — especially in The Red Turtle, where the underlying theme is a reverence for nature that needs no direct explanation.

Dudok de Wit refuses to take the easy route by allowing the film’s score (by French composer Laurent Perez del Mar) to telegraph its emotional peaks and valleys. The Red Turtle imparts depth of feeling mainly through the subtle sounds and gestures of its human characters. It’s remarkable how expressive non-verbal communication can be in a setting like this — from a shy laugh to a sharp breath of fear. The viewer’s undivided attention is required here, but the rewards are well worth the effort.

If nothing else, The Red Turtle proves that animated films don’t have to be blockbusters to earn major theatrical distribution — at least with a major assist from the Academy Awards. Oscar season means that a number of adventurous nominees — especially in the Foreign Language Film and Documentary Feature categories — will grace local theaters in the weeks ahead. Enjoy them on the big screen while you can. — KEN KORMAN

It never fully recovered from being on the (504) 658-4100; www.noma.org wrong side of a war, yet its elaborate architecture, music, culture and Carnival rituals imbued it with a reputation for romantic hedonism that few cities could match. Descriptions of Venice, Italy, often sound a lot like New Orleans, and this colorfully elegant exhibit of 18th-century Venetian paintings reiterates that impression of a surreal place where theatrical street life and relentless joie de vivre prevailed in spite of — or perhaps because of — its perilous position as a low-lying city surrounded by water.

Superbly curated by Giandomenico Romanelli, the expo provides a revealing look at how an ingrained Carnival culture can lend a near mythic aura to all aspects of civic affairs via a pervasive participatory performance-art quality of street life in visually operatic settings. Allegory of the Triumph of Venice looks like the most opulent Mardi Gras float ever, a massive triple-decker pulled by elephants and crammed with resplendent royals, knights, noblewomen, saints, angels and city officials. Attributed to Joseph Heintz the Younger, it really was a fanciful history painting celebrating Venice’s victory over the Turks in 1687. It blends seamlessly with Gabriel Bella’s Fat Thursday Festivity in the Piazzetta (pictured), where colorfully costumed celebrants mingle with acrobats and performers in a theatrical urban setting. Venetians’ flair for the carnivalesque was evident year round in commedia dell’arte street theater performances like the one in Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo’s great painting, The Minuet, where an aristocratic beauty appears surrounded by menacingly grotesque maskers. One of the New Orleans Museum of Art’s longtime holdings, it finally appears in a context that explains its wild psychological intensity. But masquerade was a way of life in a city where illegal casinos proliferated and elegantly stylish masks were de rigueur for prominent citizens who preferred to remain anonymous. — D.

AUDITION NOTICES

bestofneworleans.com/auditions

IF SAMUEL BECKETT WERE ALIVE TODAY, he might focus a play on an American treasure transformed into a tourist trap and toxic waste dump. But the message of Niagara Falls, presented recently by Broken Habit Productions at Theatre at St. Claude, is a more dismal existential vision.

Niagara Falls is written in the form of theater of the absurd, which takes a dark comedic approach to horrific themes and hopeless situations. The style creates a dull, lifeless landscape with one-dimensional characters, and by design, Niagara Falls’ plot is monotonous with only repetitive, mundane activity, forcing the audience to dig below the surface. Underlying banal conversation are vague allusions to loss of social responsibility, morality and integrity.

Conceived by University of New Orleans assistant professor Justin Maxwell, Niagara Falls tells the story of a city destroyed by neglect, poverty and pollution, which could describe many urban environments abandoned by industry and left to deteriorate. Its suburb, Love Canal, is reeling from an environmental disaster resulting from the construction of homes and schools on land where chemical waste was dumped. Love Canal residents develop leukemia, and their neighborhood is demolished.

Producer Jim Fitzmorris is repugnant as the amoral mayor of Niagara Falls, a city that’s been in decline for decades.

The mayor is no civic booster but a profiteer. Allowing the convention center to be turned into a casino, he invests in plywood to board up failing businesses as they shut down.

A series of wives (Margeaux Fanning) march into his dreary, wood-paneled office and declare their intention to leave. His mistress (Bunny Love) also visits to perform barely con-

Niagara Falls cealed sex on his desk.

“I’m the most consistent thing in your life,” she says.

Suddenly, a haggard British soldier (Kyle Woods) appears wearing a tattered red uniform, dating from the French and Indian War. In 1763, King George sent new uniforms and this boy was a drummer. The sole survivor of his regiment, he is confused and dismayed to learn the Brits lost Canada. The pristine wilderness he fought for has become a travesty.

“Why are there so many bodies in the whirlpool?” the soldier repeatedly asks. “The fur trade made so much money!”

Indeed, with all its natural resources, why can’t the United States do better? Half the population of Niagara Falls lives in poverty, and the suicide rate is rising.

Maxwell intentionally makes the mayor, his mistress, the casino owner and the wife nameless, soulless characters trapped in a seemingly futile existence. The soldier is charmingly naive, repeating his question in hopes of a different answer. Fitzmorris and Love are marvelously sleazy, smalltown types deserving of little admiration.

Ironically, the mayor’s trashy mistress dreams of Canada, where she can be free. But free of what?

Niagara Falls offers no big laughs or easy conclusions.

Maxwell poses uneasy philosophical and environmental questions about the American way of life and the ideals our forefathers fought to achieve. — MARY RICKARD
