SEVEN THINGS TO DO IN SEVEN DAYS

Green party Deven Green and Varla Jean Merman sing at Cafe Istanbul

Go Forth THU.-SAT. NOV. 9-11 | A veteran of New York experimental theater companies, Kaneza Schaal explores burial rites and the transition to an afterlife in a multimedia piece based on the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead and its practice of weighing the heart. At 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 11 p.m. Saturday at the Contemporary Arts Center.

BY WILL COVIELLO MRS. BETTY BOWERS, “America’s Best Christian,” quickly went viral in her video debut in 2008. In Betty Bowers Explains Traditional Marriage to Everyone Else, she describes marital arrangements cherry-picked from the Bible, including child brides, polygamy and partnerships with hordes of concubines. Andrew Bradley created Bowers (and writes the scripts and her steady flow of tweets), but comedian Deven Green is the personification of the prim church lady with haughtily perfect enunciation. “When I read what he would write, I had a specific thing (in mind),” Green says via phone from her home in Los Angeles. “A hot spinster aunt with a perfect wig — nothing moves, nothing’s out of place — a pearlwearing affair; outfits that have Jill St. John, Coco Chanel, a caviar with toast points feel.” As Bradley and Green created more satirical videos of Bowers’ Bible-based views, the voice lent itself to lectures on word usage and other topics. The finger-wagging and intolerant tone turned on her fans. “There’s a lot of people who want (Bowers) to spank them and punish them,” Green says. “I get that a lot on the internet.” Bowers makes few public appearances, and she won’t be at Cafe Istanbul Nov. 9-10 when Green and Varla Jean Merman present a musical cabaret. It’s the first time Green will perform in New Orleans, and the first time the two will share a stage. Green is Canadian and was working in Toronto when a friend called her to join him in southern California. “My friend Harland Williams — in Dumb and Dumber, he’s the cop who drinks urine — he called me up and said, ‘Deven, it’s really warm down here. You should move down here.’” In 2006, she made a couple of videos that went viral. As a parody of soap opera star Brenda Dickson’s Welcome to My Home videos. Green

gave the same footage a raunchy voiceover of vapid talk about cosmetics and fashion. Bradley saw them and contacted Green about becoming Bowers. Last year, Green revisited the concept in Welcome to My White House,, in which she dubs an interview with Melania Trump filmed amid the opulence of her home in Trump Tower. Green also models, writes an advice column for Goliath Atlanta and performs solo, singing and playing ukelele. Billing herself as a human jukebox, Green uses a tablet to help negotiate a wide array of genres. “In Las Vegas, I do music from the 1920s to ’40s,” she says. “I have played gay male nudist colonies, funerals, for 30,000 people. I’ve performed next to a horse, on a bus, I play home parties.” Green likes to mix in a wide variety of material. “I just did a Facebook Live thing with Tom Goss,” she says. “We did something from Sesame Street, Etta James, we sang a song with the 50 state capitals.” Green also likes to mashup songs. For a “Call Me” medley, she wove together Stevie Wonder’s “I Just Called to Say I Love You,” Blondie’s “Call Me” and Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe.” “I love taking a Metallica song and putting it to ‘Dream’ by Johnny Mercer,” she says. At Cafe Istanbul, Varla will perform songs from her latest show, Bad Heroine. Green will sing and take some requests. “Sometimes I am asked to do sweet songs, but that won’t be this,” she says.

WED. NOV. 8 | If “Feels Like Heaven,” the straight-faced, ’80s-swaying single off Ariel Pink’s latest funhouse mirror of an album, Dedicated to Bobby Jameson (Mexican Summer), makes you think the AM-radio resuscitator has given up the ghost in the machine, stay tuned for “Death Patrol,” in which he pants percussion and performs as various Lonely Farts Club bandmates. Bite Marx and Trance Farmers open at 9 p.m. at Tipitina’s.

Boris with Thou and Endon FRI. NOV. 10 | Japan earthmover Boris celebrates both its chasmic new album Dear (Sargent House) and 25 years of upending every hard-rock convention. Brutalist countrymen Endon and New Orleans dark lords Thou open at 9 p.m. at One Eyed Jacks.

At 8 p.m. at Republic.

Elegy Highway FRI.-SAT. NOV. 10-11 | Asphalt Serenade’s Elegy Highway is a road trip movie — edited live as a collage of found footage, home movies and more — about a road trip seen through the eyes of a Boy Scout and is accompanied by a live musical score. The band includes drummer David Lovering (The Pixies), Helen Gillet, James Singleton and others. At 7 p.m. at Music Box Village.

12.6%

Rate of premature births in Louisiana in 2016. LOUISIANA RECEIVED A GRADE OF “F” LAST WEEK on March of Dimes’ annual Premature Birth Report Card for its high rate of premature births. According to the report, 12.6 percent of Louisiana babies were born prematurely in 2016. The naPH OTO BY TH I N KSTOCK tional average for premature births in 2016 was 9.8 percent, a number which has risen since 2015. Louisiana joins Mississippi, Alabama, West Virginia and Puerto Rico with the country’s highest rates of premature deliveries. In the most recent local data offered in the report, preterm birth rates were highest in Caddo and East Baton Rouge parishes. In 2015 the preterm birth rate improved in Orleans Parish but worsened in Jefferson Parish, rising from 10.7 to 10.9 percent of deliveries in that parish. The organization said black women are 49 percent more likely and Native American women are 18 percent more likely to have premature deliveries, putting children of those backgrounds at risk. — KAT STROMQUIST

I-10 News on the move 1. FATS SENT HOME, WITH LOVE From Vaughan’s Lounge in Bywater to the gates of his black-and-yellow former hometurned-landmark on Caffin Avenue in the Lower 9th Ward, an enormous crowd joined an All Saints’ Day second line parade honoring New Orleans rock ’n’ roll legend Antoine “Fats” Domino, who died Oct. 24 at age 89. Trumpeter and bandleader James Andrews led the parade, which included the Original Big Nine Social Aid and Pleasure Club, Pigeon Town Steppers, baby dolls, horn players, percussionists, dancers and hundreds of fans marching with them. Outside Domino’s former home, Al “Carnival Time” Johnson, Dr. John, Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews, Charmaine Neville and members of Domino’s family addressed hundreds of fans. “If it wouldn’t have been for people like Fats Domino, Dr. John, Al ‘Carnival Time,’ I wouldn’t have a foundation to keep this music going around the world,” Andrews said. “Rest in peace to the real king of rock ’n’ roll, Fats Domino.” Formal funeral plans will be announced later.

2. Quote of the week “I remember that Fats always worked the house to the maximonium, playing long sets and pushing the piano across the stage with his belly. He was a good man, and that goodness came through in his music. That’s why people all over the planet responded with their hearts. ... Spiritually he was off the charts, and that will always be in my memory banks about Fats.” — Dr. John, remembering the late Fats Domino in Variety magazine.

3. Council requests $1M

from general fund for early childhood education

The New Orleans City Council has requested $1 million from the city’s proposed $647 million 2018 budget to include funding for early childhood education. “This budget allocation would not require any additional taxpayer dollars,” Council President Jason Williams said in a statement Nov. 1. “It simply moves money in the general fund to where we need it most: investing in our young people from the very start.” The funding would supplement dwindling state resources to provide 100 seats for pre-K and child care programs. According to the City Council, fewer than 16 percent of at-risk New Orleans children up to

age 3 have access to publicly funded child care. Louisiana remains one of the most difficult states for young children of color and children from immigrant families, according to an October report detailing disparities in child development throughout the U.S. The Annie E. Casey Foundation’s 2017 Race for Results used a composite score on a scale from one to 1,000 (the higher the number, the better that group’s health outcomes). The report scored development for black children at 276 and Latino children at 466, while white children scored 625. The report also found that roughly 74,000 children in Louisiana have at least one parent who is an immigrant. The report recommends policy makers invest in keeping families together and in their communities, help immigrant children meet developmental milestones and increase economic opportunities for immigrant parents.

4. Court sides with Landry over Edwards in LGBT rights ruling

A Louisiana appeals court ruling sided with state Attorney General Jeff Landry, who challenged a 2016 executive order from Gov. John Bel Edwards that bans discrimination against LGBT people in government and state contracts. On Nov. 1, a three-judge panel of the First Circuit

Court of Appeal affirmed a lower court ruling from late last year. The Nov. 1 ruling held that because the state Legislature had failed to include “gender identity” as a protected class in amendments to anti-discrimination language, Edwards’ order “constituted an unconstitutional interference” in the legislative process. In a statement, Landry said the ruling “affirms a notion of basic civics that the Legislature makes the law, not the governor.” But Landry previously has challenged the concept of gender identity, telling the Family Research Council in 2016 that “the good Lord doesn’t build us in that particular way.” In a statement, Edwards said the administration will “thoroughly review the ruling before determining” its next steps. Louisiana Trans Advocates and Forum for Equality also “are in conversation with the administration” to determine whether to pursue an appeal, which could put the issue before the Louisiana Supreme Court.

Affordable Care Act insurance marketplace now open 2017’s short period for open enrollment in the Affordable Care Act health insurance marketplace began Nov. 1 and goes through Dec. 15. According to the New Orleans Health Department, more than 24,000 people signed up for health

are twice as likely as whites to be searched when they are stopped. “Changing a brake light is not typically difficult or expensive,” writes Kaitlin Marone with DSA New Orleans. “However, being stopped by a police officer for having a brake light out can be both.”

Project to host mayoral debate Nov. 9

Little Freddie King injured in bike accident

Former WDSU-TV journalist Camille Whitworth will moderate a New Orleans mayoral candidate forum this week to discuss “The State of Working New Orleans: The Industries That Sustain the Status Quo.” Candidates LaToya Cantrell and Desiree Charbonnet will attend. Workplace Justice Project, a workers advocacy organization, hosts the forum from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 9 at Algiers Auditorium (2485 Guadalcanal St.).

Blues guitarist Little Freddie King has returned home from a weeklong stay at University Medical Center following a recent bicycle accident. The 77-year-old musician injured his spine and neck after hitting road debris, flipping over his handlebars and landing on his head while riding his bike on Poland Avenue. King was wearing a helmet. “He is feeling much better and needs to regain his strength,” King’s drummer and manager Wade “Wacko” Wright said in an email to Gambit. After seven days, doctors will “evaluate if surgery is still required.” On Oct. 31, King wrote on Facebook to thank family, friends and fans for wishing him well in his recovery — and to address bike and street safety in New Orleans: “Sooner or later, the [mine] field of ‘potholes’ will eat up your skinny tire, or the big black garbage cans lying in the street that cause you to swerve into traffic, or the piles of building debris people like to throw into the street along the curb will bring you down. I can attest. If I didn’t have my helmet on, my brains would still be on Poland Ave. Be safe bikers, this ain’t California.”

7. NOPD gets pay raise for 2018

New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) officers will see a 10 percent raise in January 2018, and sergeants and lieutenants also will see bumps in their salaries following the New Orleans City Council’s unanimous passage of a new NOPD pay plan pitched by Mayor Mitch Landrieu. Landrieu signed the ordinance Oct. 31. Aimed to boost retention and morale with competitive salaries, the new pay hikes follow a 15 percent raise in 2015. The new raises will require approximately $9 million from the city’s budget.

8. More free brake

light ‘clinics’

The New Orleans chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) inspired several chapters around the U.S. with its brake light repairs, where volunteers replaced car tail lights for 67 drivers at two clinics in August and September — free of charge. Now the service is being done in other cities. DSA New Orleans holds another “Gimme A Brake (Light)” clinic from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 11, at 2940 Destrehan Ave. in Harvey. According to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, traffic stops made up 42 percent of contacts between police and citizens in 2011. Three percent of all stops resulted in a search of the driver, vehicle or both. In a 2017 report that collected data from 31 states between 2011-2015, The Stanford Open Policing Project found black and Hispanic drivers

Acro-Cats set to pounce in December The Amazing Acro-Cats — an all-feline “circus” of rescue cats that perform tricks (when they feel like it) — once again returns to New Orleans next month. For several years, the circus has meowed into town in December for a series of holiday-themed performances. Ringmaster Samantha Martin promises attendees can watch “cats jump through wreaths, roll an ornament, push a sleigh and perform an array of other seasonal tricks.” (Yes, these are housecats, not big cats, and as such are prone to wandering offstage or into the audience, as they demonstrated during an appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.) Fifteen performances will be held at AllWays Theatre from Dec. 1-17, and a portion of ticket sales will benefit the Jefferson SPCA. For more information, visit www.circuscats.com.

COMMENTARY

The mayor’s race: A mud pit THE FINAL WEEKS OF THE 2017 MAYORAL ELECTION

appear to be less a race to the finish line than a long, uncontrolled slide into a mud pit. LaToya Cantrell and Desiree Charbonnet are exchanging accusations of poor money management and even poorer judgment. While neither set of accusations proves criminality — though both have alleged as much — the volleys raise legitimate concerns about both candidates’ character. News stories about Cantrell’s freewheeling use of a City Council credit card have dragged on for more than a week as new questions kept cropping up. The District B councilwoman reimbursed the city for thousands of dollars in charges — some in the form of a personal check, some from her campaign account. The problem here isn’t just potential illegality,

but the wide latitude accorded council members via a $30,000-a-year expense account for constituent services. Mayoral and departmental employees at City Hall have very specific, written policies for the expensing of meals and travel. Council members and their employees likewise must abide by a written set of rules, although Cantrell says many of her credit card expenses fall into “gray areas.” Cantrell’s insists that her lump repayment of more than $4,400 in credit card charges right after she qualified for mayor demonstrates her scrupulousness, but it could just as easily be seen as the move of someone who knew this would become a campaign issue. District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro, an avid Charbonnet supporter, received “anonymous” criminal complaints

against both candidates. The DA rightly handed the matters over to state Attorney General Jeff Landry, but that raises issues of its own. Landry, a Republican whose designs on the governor’s office are thinly disguised, likely would welcome the chance to investigate a Democratic mayor of the state’s largest city. If Landry truly wants to be impartial — and see justice done — he should pursue this one with federal investigators. And, he should defer to the feds at every turn.

Meanwhile, multiple local news agencies have filed public records requests to track the credit card spending of all city council members. This will go a long way toward telling us whether Cantrell’s questionable charges and reimbursements are a singular problem or a systemic one. Regardless, it’s clear the council needs to enforce its written policy for credit card use. The Cantrell camp has fired back at Charbonnet by detailing office furnishings

the former Municipal Court judge bought via her judicial expense account. None of those expenses violate the law, however. The third-party political action committee Not For Sale NOLA alleged Charbonnet wrongly claimed a homestead exemption for years at a house where she was not domiciled — but a “Verify” report by WWL-TV’s David Hammer found that claim to be “false” because Charbonnet’s ex-husband lives at that house and legally can claim the exemption. (See our cover story, p. 15.) Through all the mud, one thing is clear: Neither candidate inspires confidence in her ability to manage City Hall or its annual budget of more than $600 million. We hope they’ll both do better in the final weeks of the campaign.

I read your story about Shoeless Joe Jackson (Oct. 17). There is another interesting New Orleans connection to him and the Chicago Black Sox. My great uncle, Ted Jourdan, played for Chicago from 1916 to 1920 but not during the year of the scandal. I don’t have much information about him. Can you help?

— DAVID

Dear David, When Ted Jourdan died in 1961, States-Item newspaper sports columnist Harry Martinez said that while “New Orleans has sent many good ballplayers to the major leagues … there has never been a finer fielding first baseman to go up from here than Ted Jourdan.” Born in the city in 1895, he attended Jesuit High School and Loyola University. After playing first base for Loyola’s first baseball team and playing semi-pro ball, Jourdan broke into the big leagues in 1916 when he signed with the Chicago White Sox. For his first few years, the White Sox had Jack Fournier and Chick Gandil

as their regular first basemen. “Ted was such a fine glove man, however, that he was retained because of his fine defensive play,” Martinez wrote. “Those who saw him play recall that he was as graceful a fielder as you can find in the majors.” According to the Society for American Baseball Research, Jourdan saw limited play in 1917, then joined the Army in 1918. In 1919, he

was farmed out by the White Sox to the minor league Minneapolis Millers. As a result, he did not play during the season that resulted in the Black Sox Scandal, in which eight players, including “Shoeless Joe” Jackson, were accused of losing the World Series in exchange for money from gamblers. Jourdan returned to Chicago for the 1920 season but hurt his ankle during a May game and never fully recovered. Later that year, he was traded to the Salt Lake Bees and never made it back to the majors, playing for a handful of teams throughout the 1920s. He returned to New Orleans in 1930 to play for the Pelicans, which released him after just one season. In 1931, he became player-manager for a minor league team in Monroe. After his baseball career ended, he worked as a bookkeeper. He died in New Orleans on Sept. 23, 1961.

40th anniversary of the election of Ernest N. “Dutch” Morial as the city’s first African-American mayor. He defeated Councilman At-Large Joseph DiRosa by more than 5,000 votes in the runoff election on Nov. 12, 1977. Covering the race for The Times-Picayune Clancy DuBos — now Gambit’s political editor — pointed out that although Morial pulled in nearly all the support of black voters as expected, he did well among white voters as well. In her story, T-P reporter Millie Ball noted that Morial never mentioned race in his victory speech. “The election speaks eloquently for our city,” he said. “It shows people recognize quality and leadership.” Morial was the first African-American elected to the Louisiana House of Representatives since Reconstruction and later was the first black judge elected to Juvenile Court and the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeal. He was mayor until 1986 and died in 1989. Marc Morial, one of his five children, served as mayor from 1994 to 2002.

IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR CLASSIC ITALIAN COMFORT FOOD, this West

Bank spot has a menu for you. Specialty Italian Bistro (2330 Belle Chasse Highway, Gretna, 504-3911090; www.specialtyitalianbistro. com) is a family-owned restaurant that brings Old World Italian food into the modern age. Opened in 1991 by Patrick Himel’s father, the restaurant now has an app that customers can use to find coupons or place orders. With “25 years’ worth of menu tinkering,” there is quite a lot to choose from. A CPA by trade, Himel learned about the food service industry from his father, who once owned a restaurant called Bayou Bar and Bistro in the late 1970s. “It serviced people along the Harvey Canal, and it was pretty big,” he says. “The grounds were really picturesque, and that lasted about three years.” Now operated by Himel and his brother Troy (after their father “kind of dragged [them] into it at some point”), Specialty Italian Bistro serves Italian dishes with a Cajun twist. Local customers who followed the restaurant after it moved to its current location in 2003 keep coming back for the original recipes created there. “You try to reinvent yourself a little bit with different items,” Himel says. “You’ve got to stay with the times, but you’ve also got to stay consistent.” The secret to running this thriving restaurant, he says, lies in the balance between quality ingredients and creative menu concepts.

“You want them coming back and you want the food to taste good,” he says. A customer favorite starts with a base of breaded, baked eggplant medallions topped with shrimp and artichoke bisque. “People just eat that up like it’s nobody’s business,” he says. The bistro also offers seafood gumbo, which Himel admits is not Italian, “but we do it anyway because it’s Louisiana.” As a West Bank native, Himel understands the importance of offering good food in an area he considers “off the beaten path.” “We are on the highway, but we’re not in Metairie, we’re not downtown … but it’s familiar and in a lot of ways it’s home,” he says. Inside Specialty Italian Bistro, a boat from the Polynesian Pavilion of the 1984 Louisiana World’s Exposition is repurposed as a counter. “We kind of converted it,” Himel says. “We thought, ‘Hey! It’ll be an Italian gondola.’ We had it for years and years, so when we moved, we took the boat with us.” Himel hopes to increase the restaurant’s wine and beer offerings with an expanded bar menu and plans to add outdoor seating. “You’ve got to change,” he says. “That’s how it all works.”

AMPAIGN ATTACKS AND COUNTERATTACKS ARE NOTHING NEW, but the volleys

exchanged in the Nov. 18 mayoral runoff will make that race historic for more than the election of New Orleans’ first female mayor. The contest marks the beginning of the PAC era in mayoral politics. Independent political action committees, or PACs, have been on the state and national scenes for a while, but PACs have not played a major role in citywide races — until now. Henceforth, PACs will be the unofficial attack dogs of all major candidates or special interest groups. It’s all perfectly legal, provided those funding and leading the PAC efforts play by the rules, which bar collusion between PACs and candidates. In September, a group funded largely by eight high-profile business people (seven in New Orleans, one from Baton Rouge) launched a carefully coordinated offensive calculated to take out then-frontrunner Desiree Charbonnet, a former Municipal Court judge.

By the Oct. 14 primary, attacks by the NotForSaleNOLA PAC had knocked Charbonnet from clear frontrunner down to second place. Charbonnet trailed District B Councilwoman LaToya Cantrell by 8.5 percentage points but finished well ahead of former Judge Michael Bagneris, who was widely seen as the PAC’s undeclared favorite. “The primary was interesting because there were very few candidate-on-candidate attacks, and specifically there were no candidate-on-candidate attacks between Charbonnet and Cantrell,” said WWL-TV pollster Ron Faucheux, a former state lawmaker who ran for mayor in 1982. “Now the runoff is loaded with candidate-on-candidate attacks.” And there’s a renewed round of attacks against Charbonnet by NotForSaleNOLA. To the average voter, the backand-forth must seem like so much noise. Even some political insiders say they have trouble keeping up with all the missives. As the runoff enters its final two weeks — and with early voting underway through Nov. 11 — it’s fair to say that the candidates, as well as NotForSaleNOLA, have thrown some wild punches. Some have landed, some have missed.

NOWING SHE HAD TO MAKE UP A LOT OF GROUND BY NOV. 18, Charbonnet went on

the offensive early in the runoff. The former judge’s campaign launched a radio blitz accusing Cantrell of grossly misusing her city-issued credit card. The ad also reminded voters of Cantrell’s history of personal financial troubles — foreclosures, ethics fines and more — and claimed Cantrell could not be trusted to mind the city treasury. Then came the bombshell: Several news organizations

received packets of documents detailing nearly five years of questionable (and possibly illegal) expenditures by Cantrell — all on her city-issued credit card. The highlighted charges range from dozens of out-of-town trips to meals at high- and low-end restaurants, from T-shirts to Thanksgiving turkeys, cab fares, Uber rides and more. Almost daily since the story first appeared on Oct. 25, Cantrell has had to defend her use of the city credit card — and occasionally shoot back. Cantrell’s camp initially tried to deflect attention away from her use of a city credit card and toward Charbonnet’s use of judicial expense account money to redecorate her Municipal Court judge’s chambers and take several trips to posh resorts for legal conferences. Cantrell did not turn those accusations into attack ads, however; she merely passed them along to media reporters. “Other than what we’ve spoken to the media about, we have taken the high road,” Cantrell media consultant Karen Carvin Shachat said. “We have not attacked her on radio and TV, and that directive came from the top — the candidate — because LaToya feels there are major issues that need to be discussed rather than just wallowing in mud.” Charbonnet spokesman Kevin Stuart dismissed Cantrell’s counterattacks as “a cynical ploy.” He doubled down on Team Charbonnet’s allegation that Cantrell “broke the law by using a city credit card for personal and campaign expenses. … Everything Desiree did was through normal channels of the law.” Meanwhile, NotForSaleNOLA, which spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in the primary on slick mailers attacking Charbonnet, returned in the runoff with a less expensive line of social media broadsides. A Nov. 1 campaign finance report filed by the PAC show just one contributor this time: former local and state

school board member Leslie Jacobs, who ponied up $35,000. That’s in addition to the $40,000 Jacobs gave the PAC in the primary. One of the PAC’s latest attacks claims Charbonnet “ducks property taxes” because she still co-owns her former residence with her exhusband (who lives in the home); another alleged Charbonnet was getting thousands in campaign donations from French Quarter bars and strip clubs; and yet another blasted the candidate’s brother, attorney Bernard “Bunny” Charbonnet, for having a $90,000-a-year gig in Orleans DA Leon Cannizzaro’s office. So which of those attacks, if any, are true? And will any of them affect the outcome of the election? It’s easier to answer the first question.

F ALL THE ATTACKS AND COUNTER-ATTACKS LEVELED SINCE THE OCT. 14 PRIMARY, accounts of

Cantrell’s use — and potential misuse — of a city credit card have the most merit. That’s why they have received the most attention from the media, along with the fact that most if not all of the information relating to Cantrell’s use of the card is available via public records. For example, it’s undisputed that Cantrell charged thousands of dollars in travel, meals and assorted other expenses to her city-issued credit card since taking office in 2013. It’s also undisputed that she periodically reviewed those expenses and “reimbursed” the city for expenses she felt may have been personal or political in nature. Some of the reimbursements came from Cantrell’s personal checking account and some were paid via her campaign account. Furthermore, of the $8,950 that Cantrell has reimbursed the city since taking office, almost half — more than $4,400 — was reimbursed in a lump-sum payment just days after she qualified for mayor. The Charbonnet camp said the reimbursements prove Cantrell misused the credit card in violation of City Council policy, state law and federal law. Cantrell claims the reimbursements were made in an abundance of caution because she anticipated her opponent would try to mischaracterize her purchases. Cantrell described many of the reimbursed expenditures as “gray areas” that nonetheless were within the council’s guidelines. PAGE 19

G A M B I T > B E S T O F N E WO R L E A N S . C O M > N OV E M B E R 7 > 2 0 1 7

Charbonnet spokesman Stuart compared Cantrell’s explanation to a bank robber who returns the money. “If you rob a bank and pay the money back three years later, you still robbed the bank,” he said. But did Cantrell actually rob the bank, metaphorically speaking? That’s up to state and federal prosecutors. Cannizzaro, a vocal Charbonnet supporter, acknowledged that his office received separate “anonymous” criminal complaints against both candidates. He said he immediately recused his office from the matters, referring them to state Attorney General Jeff Landry as the law requires. Landry made no comment on the matters as of press time. Federal authorities never acknowledge an investigation unless it becomes so public it cannot be denied. Among the most eye-popping expenses Cantrell charged to the city credit card were several racked up in San Francisco during a campaign fundraising trip. While in Frisco, Cantrell charged a $600 meal to the city card, then paid it back several months later. There were conflicting accounts of how that reimbursement came about, however. A report by WWL-TV’s David Hammer stated that Cantrell received $600 in cash from others at the dinner, then got someone else to reimburse the city later. Cantrell spokesman David Winkler-Schmit initially told Hammer in an email that Cantrell took some family members out to dinner and admitted it was “personal.” He later retracted that story and said Cantrell took Bay area nonprofit leaders to the dinner, after which Cantrell’s guests collected $600 and turned it into a money order that was used to repay the city. Hammer told Gambit he stands by his story.

The evolving, if conflicting, versions of that particular expense reflect the difficulty that Cantrell and her campaign have had trying to deal with the whole matter of her frequent use of the city credit card. It has given Charbonnet’s camp a weakness to exploit. “Every day, there’s a new revelation of LaToya Cantrell’s lack of integrity and honesty,” Stuart said. “This time it’s taking personal trips on the backs of the taxpayers of New Orleans. The whole episode tells the voters everything they need to know about LaToya: She abused their trust, used their money as if it were hers, and she continues not to be honest with them about it.” For her part, Charbonnet has had to defend herself on several fronts from attacks by Cantrell as well as NotForSaleNOLA. One attack that gained limited traction in the media — that Charbonnet improperly claimed a homestead exemption — was debunked by WWL-TV’s Hammer, whose “Verify” report labeled the accusation “false.” Both Orleans Assessor Erroll Williams and Jefferson Parish Assessor Tom Capella told Hammer that Charbonnet’s ex-husband qualified for the entire exemption by living in the home and paying the annual property tax bill, even if the candidate’s name was still on the title with him. The exemption was the subject of the anonymous complaint Cannizzaro received against Charbonnet. Cantrell’s claim that Charbonnet made “lavish” purchases to redecorate her former Municipal Court chambers and that she traveled to posh resorts to attend legal conferences did not garner much media attention, mostly because the amounts spent by Charbonnet were within the legal limits. Judges are given annual expense accounts to travel to

such conferences and to furnish their chambers. On another front, the claim that Bunny Charbonnet had a cushy gig in the DA’s office even though he’s “never prosecuted a case” was easily brushed aside. Bunny Charbonnet handles civil matters for Cannizzaro. It is common practice for DAs to hire civil attorneys to handle civil matters for their offices. As for the NotForSaleNOLA assertion that Charbonnet raised thousands in campaign contributions from French Quarter bars and strip clubs, Stuart said the PAC’s allegations are “full of misrepresentations, half-truths, and outright lies, as typifies everything that comes from them.” He said Cantrell’s campaign finance report shows her getting money from some of the same people, many of whom are merely property owners or “registered agents” who are not operators of bars or strip clubs.

“Desiree Charbonnet has a national reputation as a leader in the fight against sex trafficking and as a reformer who created innovative, nationally recognized diversion programs,” Stuart told Gambit. The frequency and intensity of the attacks suggest Charbonnet is still trying to catch Cantrell — though she probably has gained some ground. At the end of the day, it will be up to voters to decide whom they believe and whom they wish to see as mayor. “Cantrell walked into the runoff as the big frontrunner,” said WWL pollster Faucheux. “The big question is, do those news stories change that? What we’re seeing is a very personal campaign [that] very well could turn voters off. If voters were hoping that this runoff would be a forum for discussing the great issues, they’re going to be sadly disappointed. I think a lot of voters are very soft on both candidates right now.”

Nomiya serves ramen in Uptown BY H E L E N F R E U N D @helenfreund “IRASSHAIMASE!”

Having a group of chefs and waiters yell at you when you walk into a restaurant can be alarming at first. But at Nomiya, a new ramen spot on Magazine Street, the friendly shouts are a greeting, the traditional Japanese way of welcoming customers. Nomiya is a tiny eatery from Kanno sushi owner Hidetoshi “Elvis” Suzuki and Bayou Hot Wings owner Allen Nguyen, but it’s Nguyen’s sister Christie Nguyen who runs the show. Tired of her corporate career, Nguyen decided she wanted to get into the restaurant business. An aficionado of Japanese culture, she decided to immerse herself in the world of ramen, traveling to Japan and working stints at New York’s acclaimed Ippudo, as well as Momofuku CCDC in Washington, D.C. Together, Nguyen and her partners opened the jewel box-sized noodle shop in August, creating a playful space decorated with colorful graffiti murals, comic book page-splattered walls, bamboo plants and a row of Japanese lucky cats perched on a top shelf. Dining here is all about ramen. The small menu features one tonkotsu bone broth, a cloudy, almost milky elixir that is made by boiling pork bones for 24 hours. Here, that broth is creamy, salty and deeply satisfying. Ramen begins with the tonkotsu broth, and from there it’s an addins and toppings game, with items ranging from sweet buttered corn to custardy seven-minute eggs, bracing pickled ginger and spongy fish cakes.

WHERE

4226 Magazine St.; www.nomiyaramen.com

The spicy geki-kara version is flavored with pork, egg, scallions and the key ingredient, a dark chili paste made with Asian bhut jolokia, or ghost peppers. On my first visit, I was disappointed that the dish didn’t pack enough heat, but the last time I visited, my companion described it as having “the perfect burn,” which sums up the tingling sensation left by the crimson broth. That same chili paste and a dark and earthy burnt garlic oil also can be ordered on the side, which is a good way to manage the nuances of spice and flavor without going overboard. Sweet braised pork shoulder tops the bowls, which is a slight detour from the more traditional chashu, or belly slices, but it hits the mark just as well (the owners say a salted pork belly addition is in the works). Pork also fills a pair of steamed buns along with sliced cucumber and a healthy slather of mayonnaise.

Meanwhile attendees can witness the full boucherie process, starting with breaking down the hog. Beginning at 10 a.m. Sunday, guests can sample dishes made from the hog, and the Lost Bayou Ramblers will perform at the end of the day.

Rebranded beef A WEEK AFTER HARRAH’S NEW ORLEANS CASINO (8 Canal St.,

800-427-7247; www.caesars. com/harrahs-new-orleans) cut ties with the Besh Restaurant Group (www.beshrestaurantgroup.com), the steakhouse inside the Canal Street casino officially has a new name. BH Steak has replaced Besh Steak, according to an announcement from the casino’s general manager. The restaurant’s new name stems from the casino’s founder, William “Bill” Harrah, who launched the Harrah’s brand 80 years ago in Reno, Nevada. The changes follow allegations of widespread sexual harassment and misconduct at the Besh Restaurant Group, reported in a NOLA.com | The Times–Picayune story. In the wake of the allegations, John Besh stepped down from his position at the company, but not before Harrah’s announced a split between its brand and the celebrity chef. Little besides the name appears to have changed at the restaurant, although there have been changes to the menu that were implemented over the past week. The same staff — employees of Harrah’s New Orleans — have stayed on, and chef Paul Robert and general manager Robert Wailes are still leading the team, according to a statement from Dan Real, general manager for Harrah’s New Orleans Casino and Regional President — South for Caesars Entertainment. Harrah’s was the first to cut ties with Besh after news of the alleged sexual misconduct broke, and since then American Public Television has dropped both of Besh’s cooking shows from their network, both locally and nationally. — HELEN FREUND

3-COURSE INTERVIEW

Karl Hartdegen CICERONE WHEN HIS SIBLINGS GAVE HIM A HOME-BREWING KIT

for Christmas one year, Karl Hartdegen couldn’t have known where it would lead. He developed a love for brewing and eventually became a brewer for Crescent City Brewhouse. Hartegen now works at Big Easy Bucha (www.bigeasybucha.com), and last year became the eighth person in Louisiana to earn the title of certified cicerone, denoting beer knowledge similar to a sommelier’s mastery of wine. Hartdegen spoke with Gambit about the credential.

Why did you pursue a cicerone certification?

Now Delivering!

HARTDEGEN: I was working as a chemist in the oil, gas and chemical industry and I had gotten a little burned out and needed to change gears. I had been home brewing for a long time and decided I wanted to get into the industry. The process and techniques of brewing were very similar to my educational and professional background while allowing for a large degree of creative expression. My interest also was fueled by the artisanal, hands-on, doit-yourself nature of the brewing community. The community is among the most open and innovative that I have had the pleasure of being part of.

What does the cicerone certification process entail? H: There are four levels of the certification program: the certified beer server, certified cicerone, advanced cicerone and master cicerone. I took the tier two certified cicerone exam, and there are only eight in Louisiana right now. Globally, there are 3,000-plus. At level one, there’s roughly 90,000 individuals (worldwide), and at the advanced cicerone level there are about 60 people. There are only 13 master cicerones in the world. You pretty much have to be a walking encyclopedia to get the master cicerone certification. There are five key sectors of study. There’s keeping and serving beer, beer styles, beer flavor and evaluation, beer ingredients and brewing processes, and pairing beer with food. For keeping and serving beer, you look at how you’re purchasing and accepting beer from your distributor; how are you serving it — what kind of glassware and at what temperature the beer is at; whether you’re being mindful of the alcohol content and whether you serve

Email Brenda Maitland at winediva1@bellsouth.net

it in the appropriate size for the customer; maintenance of draught lines and things of that nature. The beer styles portion deals with understanding the beer styles, which includes the history, flavor attributes and basic characteristics of these styles. Beer flavor and evaluation comes down to certain tastes and aromas that are present in the beer — how to identify those flavors, name their source and being able to identify off flavors and name those sources. Beer ingredients and brewing processes deals with the operational side of brewing, and lastly, pairing beer with food deals with increasing your beer and food vocabulary so you can better describe nuances in flavors, whether that’s for an industry (person) or when describing it to someone who might not be as familiar with the technical terms. It also deals with how flavors and carbonation work, as well as creating pairings and designing meals to elevate the beer.

What similarities exist between brewing kombucha and beer? H: Kombucha brewing, as with beer, relies heavily on the fermentation process. Both industries produce a sweet liquid that microbes ferment. A brewer does not make beer or kombucha. Rather, a brewer makes sweet wort or tea and the microbes produce the final product. I like to say a brewer is much like a play director and can only set the stage for the performance. In that sense, a brewer sets the tone, lighting, adds props, holds castings and rehearsals, etc. But at the end of the day, the microbes are the performers. They may forget lines or miss a step, or produce a standing ovation, depending on the direction or individual efforts. — HELEN FREUND

PREVIEW

Grizzly Bear

PAINTED RUINS (RCA), the major-label debut by the widely cherished weirdo-rock outfit Grizzly Bear, • Nov. 12 opens with a nod to another one-toe-in-the-main• 8 p.m. Sunday stream album by another widely cherished, weir• Civic Theatre, do-rock-turned-major-label outfit. “Wasted Acres,” with its meltingly languorous groove and machin510 O’Keefe Ave., ist-Frankenstein callouts (“Were you even listening (504) 272-0865; / TRX250”), obliquely brings to mind the Flaming Lips’ Rosetta Stoned beat-drop “One More Robot/ www.civicnola.com Sympathy 3000-21” from Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. It’s purely accidental. Singers/songwriters PHOTO BY TOM HINES Dan Rossen and Ed Droste aren’t seeking comfort in sentient circuitry — the TRX250 is the Honda ATV Rossen used to collect firewood in upstate New York. It’s a prime example of how Grizzly Bear doesn’t require a fantastical distraction to captivate listeners. The band does that by taking the mundane (foggy, proggy psych/folk or frictionless Steely Dan lounge-pop) and burrowing deeply enough into it that all directionality, even all dimensionality, begins to fold in on itself like an M.C. Escher sketch. They do it with unbelievable musicianship — particularly percussionist Chris Bear, part military drum major, part electrocardiographic designer — but also unusual musicality, scattering some of the year’s best singles (“Mourning Sound,” “Losing All Sense,” “Neighbors”) throughout the wilds like a trail of breadcrumbs. Serpentwithfeet opens. Tickets $30. — NOAH BONAPARTE PAIS

REVIEW

78/52: Hitchcock’s Shower Scene

IT IS FAIR TO ASK whether the world really needs a 90-minute documentary about a single scene in Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho. • Opens Nov. 10 Director Alexandre O. Philippe’s 78/52: Hitchcock’s Shower Scene • Chalmette Movies, may sound like something made 8700 W. Judge Perez Drive, expressly for film students, but the scene in question may be the only Chalmette, (504) 304-9992; one in movie history to deserve www.chalmettemovies.com such close scrutiny — and 78/52 is anything but dry and academic. Lavish attention to Psycho’s COURTESY IFC FILMS shower scene began with Hitchcock himself. He chose to spend one week of the film’s four-week shooting schedule on that taboo-breaking, censor-defying three minutes of cinema. Philippe’s film takes inspiration from Hitchcock’s obsessiveness and examines the scene’s content and underlying methods from every possible perspective. But 78/52 also devotes itself to placing Hitchcock’s work in the larger context of the rapidly changing American culture of 1960. Entertaining and deeply immersive, the film wins over even casual viewers without breaking a sweat. It’s not easy to imagine the innocence to which cultural institutions of that time attempted to cling. Psycho was the first Hollywood film to include a toilet (Janet Leigh flushes it just so Hitchcock can thumb his nose at propriety) and the first to show a woman’s navel. Those taboos seem positively quaint once the shower scene is unleashed and Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) murders a nude and vulnerable Marion Crane (Leigh). The scene shattered countless conventions — or seemed to, as its dizzying visual style left everyone unsure of what they’d actually seen depicted on screen. In the words of filmmaker Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth) — one of many visionary artists interviewed for the film — Hitchcock “breaks the covenant between filmmaker and audience, and the audience cannot wait to see more.” Like Psycho, 78/52 takes about 40 minutes to set the stage for the shower scene. That extended intro allows Philippe to examine a period in which the birth control pill was approved and the first Playboy Club opened, and to explore themes that drive Psycho, such as voyeurism and shifting perceptions of American motherhood. The entire documentary mixes vintage films clips and audio with new interviews and staged scenes to offer a dense and fast-paced viewing experience, like a torrent of insight and intrigue. The film’s title is needlessly technical — 78 is the number of camera set-ups in the shower scene and 52 the number of edits. But by the time the film gets to its analysis of the scene, sophisticated interview subjects like editor and sound designer Walter Murch (Apocalypse Now) are more interested in how images and sounds are perceived by human beings than in the technology of cinema. The documentary manages to decode a bit of the movies’ singular magic. The interviews are presented in black and white, shot in front of a green screen and later made to look as if they were conducted inside a room at the Bates Motel. It’s a surprisingly subtle effect that also helps new and vintage footage blend seamlessly. A special camera set-up often has interview subjects looking directly at the audience to amplify the voyeurism theme and give the film a weirdly intimate vibe. The film covers a lot of ground. Its central idea is that Psycho not only anticipates the social upheaval and violence of the 1960s — from political assassinations to the civil rights movement — but actually helped open the floodgates to a modern era in which innocence would be lost and hard truths revealed. That is how a single scene in a horror movie earns a documentary of its own. — KEN KORMAN

IN HIS ANNUAL CALL FOR AMATEUR PORN FILMS (some have been made by pros), sex and relationship advice columnist Dan Savage includes props that have nothing to do with sex but prove the film was made for the HUMP! Film Festival. Two of them are easy to spot in the slate of 2017 films, which screen Nov. 9-11 at The Broad Theater. In one film, one of the props is altered to “Make America Gape Again,” a fitting public service announcement for the full spectrum of sexuality depicted in the 22 short films, most of them under four minutes. The founding concept of HUMP! was for people to make short films about or featuring sex they enjoy. Some of the 2017 films are clearly about joyous exhibitionism — by gay male couples on a boat and camping by a lake and adventurous heterosexual couples on a mountaintop and jumping out of an • Nov. 9-11 airplane mid-coitus for a mostly naked • 7 p.m. & 9 p.m. skydive. There also are soloists, transsexual couples, orgies, fetishists and Thursday-Saturday more — most with closeups of genitals. • The Broad Theater, 636 N.

In one endearing film, a woman • Tickets $20-$25 talks frankly but discreetly about overcoming being abused as a girl to find peace and joy in her adult sex life — in a polyamorous group of people aged 51 to 75. A few films have no nudity or actual sex. One short comedy about a couple discussing their turn-ons develops into a hilarious mashup of parodied role-playing and kinkiness. There probably is something to please and turn off everyone. But there also is a compelling level of comfort and pleasure among those on screen, including a man who confesses that he’s more comfortable having sex on camera than wearing a red baseball cap. — WILL COVIELLO

by the victors. But art history often has featured unlikely, formerly obscure figures whose offbeat talents suddenly propelled them to star status. Yet, most were white and male while minorities were typically assigned secondary roles in art movements that never really reflected their artistic ideals in the first place. This landmark exhibition of work from the Joyner/Giuffrida Collection of abstract art provides a new context for exploring those artists’ sensibilities, and in the process reveals a parallel aesthetic universe where abstraction is a means for personal and philosophical liberation rather than simply a style preference. Co-organized with the Baltimore Museum of Art, this Ogden Museum of Southern Art exhibition kicks off a touring itinerary that will take it to Chicago, • Through Jan. 21, 2018 Baltimore, Berkeley, California, Miami and • Ogden Museum of Southern Art, other major American art venues. Compared to the eclectic rural genius 925 Camp St., (504) 539-9650, of an African-American artist like Thornwww.ogdenmuseum.org ton Dial, the works here are more like the edgy ruminations of abstract jazz musicians who resonate the funky gravitas of city life. So it is no surprise that pioneer mid-century black artists such as Norman Lewis seemed to exist just beyond the radar of abstract expressionist-oriented art critics even as urban black aesthetics were eloquently articulated elsewhere. For instance, the fusion of Middle Passage echoes and 20th-century industrial flourishes in Melvin Edwards’ compact, densely eloquent steel sculptures elude most art history strictures although they evoke the lyrical heft of Rahsaan Roland Kirk’s gritty jazz riffs. Shinique Smith’s baroque concoctions like No Key, No Question (pictured) seem to parlay hints of Alice Coltrane’s spiritual exuberance into playful new pop-cultural Afro-futurist cosmologies. Lynette Yiadom-Boakye’s wry, funk-romantic figurative paintings similarly speak directly to the rhythms of black urban life, and Sam Gilliam works those rhythms into elegant concoctions that fuse color into compositions where light exists as matter, and time is subjective, relative to the disposition of the viewer. — D.

STAGE

Caroline, or Change

MUSICALS DON’T OFTEN WRESTLE WITH WEIGHTY SOCIETAL ISSUES, but Caroline, or Change takes on civil rights, low wages PHOTO BY JOSHUA FREDERICK and oppression, setting its story to a wide array of American music, including blues, spirituals, Motown, klezmer and folk, scored by one of Broadway’s most accomplished composers, Jeanine Tesori. With poignant lyrics and book by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tony Kushner (Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes), masterfully presented by Jefferson Performing Arts Society and Loyola University’s Department of Theatre Arts and Dance, Caroline, or Change is one of the season’s most powerful productions. In 1963, the year of John F. Kennedy’s assassination, Caroline Thibodeaux (Troi Bechet) is working as a maid for a middle-class Jewish family in Lake Charles. Bechet’s heart-rending opening number underscores the need for social change. She sings: “Nothin’ ever happened underground in Louisiana. ‘Cause there ain’t no underground in Louisiana. There is only underwater.” For Caroline, there’s no escaping servitude. Kennedy had inspired great optimism but now that hope is dashed. “Friend to the colored, friend to the Jew ... We shall not see his like again,” sing grandmother and grandfather Gellman (Francine Segal and Martin Covert). A divorced mother, Caroline is paid $40 per week, barely enough to feed her three kids. In the Gellman family’s basement, she washes and irons clothes while dreaming of Nat King Cole and sneaking a cigarette shared with the Gellman’s son Noah (Kristen Swanson). Her constant companions are anthropomorphized appliances, a bubbly washing machine (Kyler Jett), red hot dryer (Isaiah Aaron Jones) and radio trio (Talia Moore, Cereyna Bougouneau and Kharissa Newbill), who harmonically commiserate with Caroline under the apt musical direction of Loyola’s Donna Clavijo. As a boy, Kushner lived in Lake Charles and his father played clarinet, as does Caroline’s Stuart Gellman (Mark Weinberg). Stuart constantly practices, rarely engaging with his son or wife. Instead, Noah forms a bond with Caroline, whom his deceased mother called, “implacable” and “indestructible.” His new stepmother Rose (Anja Mayer-Avsharian) focuses on teaching Noah to value money, scolding him for leaving coins in his pockets when putting his pants in the laundry. Rose condescendingly offers the boy’s loose change to Caroline, and we see the indignities the maid silently endures. Rose cannot understand why Caroline never smiles. The multilevel set designed by Marty Aikens, Loyola’s scenic designer, allows the audience to see the entire household at once, with each family member sequestered in a corner. When a fence is lowered onto the stage, it divides the Gellman home from the sidewalk where black domestic workers wait for a bus. Loyola University’s young talent is magnificent under the direction of Laura Hope, including Swanson as the lonely boy who would rather live in Caroline’s home, and Mayer-Avsharian, who is frustratingly incapable of grasping another person’s needs. Caroline appears defeated yet defiant. Her brash teenage daughter Emmie (Charis Michelle Gullage) is determined to overcome the overwhelming obstacles that hold her mother back. Change is going to come. — MARY RICKARD
