WERE FRANK ABAGNALE JR. imper-

sonating somebody today, he might be a Facebook subscriber hiding behind a phony photograph, or a scam artist promoting Bitcoin or a pyramid scheme.

But 50 years ago, Abagnale was a teenager who successfully pretended to be an airline pilot, a pediatrician and a lawyer in Louisiana.

As a charming 16-year-old with a few prematurely gray hairs, Abagnale put on the mantle of a grown man and kited personal checks for millions of dollars he used to pay for hotels, restaurants, automobiles, houses and luxury items — virtually undetected.

“People were more open to believing then,” says Michelle Taylor, director of the musical Catch Me If You Can at Jefferson Performing Arts Society. “I can Google anyone’s name now.” That’s true, but the internet still might not yield correct answers.

Abagnale’s story about striking out on his own after his parents filed for divorce was captured in the Steven Spielberg film Catch Me If You Can, starring Leonardo DiCaprio. The Broadway musical rendition that opened in 2011 was nominated for four Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

The real-life Abagnale quickly learned that jobs he could get without a high school diploma wouldn’t redeem his family.

Instead, he chose a more glamorous profession. He convinced a Pan American World Airways manager that a dry cleaner had misplaced his pilot’s uniform and

was promptly fitted for a new suit. In a time before Photoshop, he used a decal from a model airplane to make a believable employee identification badge and picked up enough industry jargon in the terminal to fly millions of miles in the jump seat. Bounced checks eventually put the FBI on his trail, so Abagnale chose a new alias and profession to continue his adventure.

“It feels like you are on a roller coaster with all the twists and turns,” Taylor says of the story behind the musical. “It’s predictable at moments, but every time you think you know where it’s going, it takes a turn.”

Although essentially an adventure, Catch Me If You Can ultimately is a tale about second chances. Tulane University junior Anthony Harvey is cast in the lead, and stage veteran Jimmy Murphy plays Carl Hanratty, the determined FBI agent who chases Abagnale. The pair discover a strange camaraderie through their lonely pursuits.

Abagnale was captured by French police and spent years in prisons, but the musical, set in the 1960s, brims with ebullient pop songs and giggling flight attendants, hospital nurses and Southern belles. Karen Hebert’s choreography creates upbeat, splashy dance sequences ac-

companied by Dennis G. Assaf’s swinging orchestra.

One of the play’s central challenges is portraying an international con artist in a sympathetic light. Harvey had the opportunity to hear the real Abagnale speak at an AARP conference in New Orleans last summer. Reformed and now one of the FBI’s most prominent authorities on forgery and embezzlement, Abagnale repents his unethical behavior. But at the time, he says, he was only trying to survive. “All 16-year-olds are just children,” he told the audience, adding that even while living the high life, he cried himself to sleep until he was 19.

$3.9 million The amount Louisiana taxpayers have spent since 2004 to settle sexual harassment and gender-based claims involving state employees.

Mirya Holman and J. Celeste Lay, political

THE STATE SENATE GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE last week

FOUR MAYORS AT LOYOLA

PH OTO BY K E VI N ALLMAN

Three of New Orleans’ five living mayors, as well as Mayor-elect LaToya Cantrell, appeared April 5 at Loyola University’s Roussel Hall to discuss “One New Orleans: Five Perspectives” with Gambit Political Editor Clancy DuBos. Mayor Moon Landrieu (1970-1978), Mayor Sidney Barthelemy (19861994), Mayor Mitch Landrieu (2010-2018) and Mayor-elect LaToya Cantrell. Marc Morial, mayor from 1994 to 2002 and now president of the National Urban League, had to cancel his appearance; DuBos joked he was visiting former Mayor Ray Nagin, who is serving a sentence in a Texas federal prison.

Cantrell said the best piece of advice she’s gotten since winning the election was to pay attention to her 10-year-old — “to not lose focus on my child as I focus on the needs of every child.” Her answer, which seemed to catch the audience by surprise, was greeted by applause. Asked who her most formidable opponent had been in politics, Cantrell got a laugh by saying, “Don’t get me started.” After a moment, she added, more seriously, “I don’t see an opponent. I see the machine.”

Moon Landrieu said, “Whether you’re the mayor of New Orleans or the mayor of Tickfaw, you’re on the job 24 hours a day.” Both he and the younger Landrieu agreed that running a major American city was a more difficult job than state or national office.

Asked if he had any advice for the incoming mayor, Mitch Landrieu advised her to pick her battles, saying his father had taught him sometimes “the juice is not worth the squeeze.”

approved anti-sexual harassment bills sponsored by three female legislators — Rep. Barbara Carpenter and Sen. Regina Barrow, both Democrats from Baton Rouge, and Sen. Sharon Hewitt, R-Slidell.

All three bills would require public servants to receive an annual minimum of one hour of education and training on preventing sexual harassment. The training programs would begin in 2019 if the bills pass. — DREW WHITE | MANSHIP SCHOOL NEWS SERVICE

IT’S A TERM EMPLOYED

BY POLITICIANS AGAINST REAL REPORTING

Quote of the week The Louisiana Legislature

wasted $643,000 of taxpayers’ money during its recent twoweek special session, according to reporting by Elizabeth Crisp in The Advocate. Of that, $422,879 went to per diem and mileage payments to legislators. The special session, which was called to address the looming “fiscal cliff” at the start of the state’s fiscal year in July, produced no answers to Louisiana’s chronic fiscal problems.

“They’re not getting enough done to get fatigued.”

— Gov. John Bel Edwards, speaking about state legislators, as quoted in LaPolitics.com.

Sex ed bills die in Baton Rouge — again Louisiana has one of the highest rates of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) among people ages 15 to 24. The state also has the seventh-highest rate of teen pregnancies. But repeated attempts to change state laws to incorporate comprehensive sex education programs to remedy those statistics — or at least anonymously ask young people if they’ve engaged in the kinds of behavior that would produce those kinds of statistics — have failed.

Hazing may become a felony in Louisiana

On April 4, after pushback from conservative Christian lobbying groups, a pair of bills to support comprehensive sex ed in public schools died in the state House Committee on Education.

State Rep. Patricia Smith’s House Bill 499 would require comprehensive sex ed in public schools — a program that promotes abstinence but also includes information about preventing pregnancies and STDs and understanding sexual abuse. It follows an “age-appropriate, medically accurate” guideline promoting healthy relationships, stress management and communication. It also would allow parents or guardians to opt out.

Smith’s House Bill 554 would allow high school students to participate in an anonymous survey that asks whether they’ve had sex and whether they have ever been forced to perform sex acts. The survey is conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Louisiana students already receive it with questions related to drug and alcohol use, smoking and other health and risk behaviors, but state law forbids asking students about sexual health and activity. That bill also would allow parents and students to opt out from taking the survey.

State Sen. Dan Claitor, R-Baton Rouge, has sponsored a similar bill in the Senate. That bill won approval from the Senate’s Committee on Health and Welfare and now heads to the full Senate for a vote.

Smith said without any data to show what kinds of risk behaviors students experience, lawmakers and program directors can’t adequately address the health crises among young people.

In 2017, the Louisiana Public Health Institute launched the statewide campaign Geaux Talk, promoting sex ed in schools and at home. It largely is powered by the results of a statewide survey asking parents and caregivers whether sex ed should be a part of the curriculum. Nearly 75 percent of respondents said it should be required.

Bill to let 19- and 20-yearolds drink gets spiked State Sen. Eric LaFleur, D-Ville Platte, last week withdrew one of the most talked-about bills of the legislative session — his proposal to allow 19and 20-year-olds to drink legally — amid fears it could cause the state to lose federal highway funds.

LaFleur said he thought his bill, which would have required parental consent and alcohol education courses, would have led to more responsible drinking. But state officials and other lawmakers said the state risked losing up to $600 million in highway construction funds under federal laws meant to encourage safer driving. LaFleur said he didn’t think the bill would have increased drinking at all and instead would have encouraged responsible drinking, citing the alcohol education courses young adults would have to take to obtain the certificate.

Because the bill technically would not lower the drinking age, LaFleur said he didn’t think it would be a problem meeting federal highway fund requirements. But several committee members, and Juana Marine-Lombard of the Louisiana Office of Alcohol and Tobacco Control (ATC), voiced concerns that the federal government might pull highway funds. “ATC, as far as federal funding, is just the tip of the iceberg,” Marine-Lombard said.

“State Police receive way more money in the highway safety grant, and Department of Transportation (DOT) has something like $600 million to lose. When we’re sitting on a fiscal cliff and you’re talking about risking millions over this, where does the money come from to fund DOT, ATC and State Police?”

LaFleur said his bill contained a provision that would have nullified the plan to let 19- and 20-year-olds drink legally if it resulted in the DOT losing federal highway dollars. He added he would continue to work on the bill and likely will propose it again next year. “Change like this sometimes takes a little while,” LaFleur

Louisiana House members last week unanimously supported a bill that would make hazing a felony. The “Max Gruver Act,” named after the 18-year-old Louisiana State University fraternity pledge who died from alcohol consumption at a fraternity event last fall, would upgrade hazing from a misdemeanor to a felony in an effort to stop the worst abuses.

The anti-hazing bill passed by a House vote of 87-0. The bill now heads to the Senate.

Individuals convicted in cases of hazing-related deaths could receive up to five years in prison and fines up to $10,000. Current law allows those guilty of hazing to receive a fine between $10 to $100 and a maximum 30 days in jail. “This bill will deter, punish, and raise awareness, and that’s what we have criminal statutes for,” bill sponsor Rep. Nancy Landry, R-Lafayette, said.

Maxwell Gruver, an LSU freshman from Roswell, Georgia, died from alcohol intoxication and aspiration after he was summoned to the LSU Phi Delta Theta house by fraternity members to participate in a pledge activity. His autopsy revealed a blood alcohol content of 0.495, almost six times the legal limit for driving.

An East Baton Rouge grand jury recently indicted one of Gruver’s fraternity members for negligent homicide, a felony, and three others on misdemeanor hazing charges. The four charged are no longer students at LSU. — DREW WHITE | MANSHIP SCHOOL NEWS SERVICE

Council vote could mean more short-term rentals in residential areas The New Orleans City Council last week approved a measure that could open the door to more yearround short-term rentals (STRs) in residential areas.

The April 5 decision came after a week of reports of STR platforms refusing to submit data to the city for review and enforcement — despite City Hall’s assurance that STR platforms planned to cooperate with the current measures. The council vote also follows a report from housing justice organization Jane Place Neighborhood Sustainability Initiative, which illustrated how a handful of operators are using dozens of properties for commercial listings.

The City Council also narrowly denied zoning changes at properties owned by Christian Galvin on Jackson Avenue that would change

The Legislature and guns A bill to raise the age for purchasing assault weapons in Louisiana narrowly passed a state Senate committee April 3, following debate among legislators, gun rights advocates, teachers, students and law enforcement officials including New Orleans Police Chief Michael Harrison. It now heads to the full state Senate.

Meanwhile, lawmakers tabled two bills promoting guns on school campuses.

House Bill 274 from state Sen. Troy Carter, D-New Orleans, would prevent people under age 21 from purchasing so-called assault weapons, including guns with high-capacity magazines. Among the hundreds of murders and shootings in New Orleans since he became police chief, Harrison said there hasn’t been a single instance of someone using an assault weapon to defend themselves — but “a large percentage” of shootings were committed by a person firing an assault weapon.

State Rep. Bodi White, R-Baton Rouge, and a spokesperson with the National Rifle Association, claimed the bill infringes on people’s Second Amendment rights and punishes law-abiding gun owners.

Raising the age limits for gun purchases is among the policy demands from the student-led March for Our Lives platform, which also calls for stronger background checks, the repeal of the NRA-backed Dickey Amendment preventing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from work that promotes gun control, and an end to the NRA and other lobbying groups’ influence in politics.

A House bill from New Orleans Rep. Helena Moreno also seeks to place restrictions on assault rifle sales.

Several bills in this year’s legislative session have promoted teachers and staff carrying guns on campus. State Rep. Julie Emerson’s House Bill 836 would allow students with concealed carry permits to carry guns on

college campuses, but on April 4 she agreed to defer the bill.

House Bill 271 from state Rep. Ray Garofalo of Chalmette. The House Criminal Justice Committee voted April 4 to table Garofalo’s bill, which was opposed by the Louisiana State Police and the Louisiana Sheriff’s Association.

Labor day: House votes to expand inmate labor Without any debate April 2, the Louisiana House of Representatives approved a bill to expand state inmate-provided labor. State Rep. Kenny Havard’s House Bill 84, which has the support of Gov. John Bel Edwards, allows the governor’s office to decide whether incarcerated people within the state’s Department of Corrections can perform work outside the department’s headquarters.

Currently, inmate labor is used for projects throughout the state Capitol. Havard’s bill ensures that it’s performed legally. Incarcerated people can earn up to 70 cents an hour performing the work, but opponents say their earnings afford them little if any support in prison or in saving for their release, and the disparity in race among prisoners likens the practice of inmate labor to slavery.

The measure now heads to the Senate.

Bike to Work Day returns April 11 Cyclists, rejoice: Bike Easy’s annual Bike to Work Day is scheduled for Wednesday, April 11.

Now part of a month-long cycling challenge hosted by the cycling advocacy organization, Bike to Work Day is designed to encourage bike commuting from different neighborhoods throughout the city. On that morning, bike trains depart from sites in Algiers, Uptown, Gentilly, Bywater, Mid-City, Broadmoor and Metairie at 7:15 a.m. for a meetup in Duncan Plaza from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. Free coffee, breakfast and bike tune-ups will be available.

More information is available at www.bikeeasy.org.

Legislative advocacy day for women in Baton Rouge April 11 Advocates from around the state will convene in Baton Rouge April 11 for “Justice for Louisiana Women,” a lobbying and legislative advocacy day centered around women’s issues. More than 20 organizations will attend, meeting with legislators, hosting forums and participating in discussions about equal pay, reproductive rights and criminal justice reform.

two plots of land from residential to business; both were recommended for denial by the City Planning Commission. “We are getting dozens of these types of applications,” said District A Councilwoman Susan Guidry, pointing to recent reports from Jane Place. “This is just a continuing issue and we need to address it. … We have to abide by our own rules, and this is against our rules.”

Mayor-elect and District B Councilwoman LaToya Cantrell also authored a measure allowing two commercial STRs, available yearround without limits, in commercially zoned properties in residential areas, with additional STRs subject to a conditional use process. Council members Nadine Ramsey and Jason Williams voted against the measure.

COMMENTARY

Other topics include sex education in schools, gun control and protections for survivors of domestic violence. A great number of bills during the current legislative session pertain to these issues, including at least five bills related to abortion access and a package of bills regarding equal pay and a minimum wage increase that faltered in the state Senate.

The lobbying day takes place at Capitol Park Welcome Center (702 N.River Road, Baton Rouge). For more information and to register, visit www.liftlouisiana.org.

Senate to vote on medical furlough for people convicted of murder Among several bills undoing parts of a bipartisan criminal justice reform package passed last year, Senate Bill 458 from state Sen. Ryan Gatti aims to prevent people convicted of murder from taking medical furlough. It was narrowly approved by the Senate’s Judiciary C Committee April 3 and it heads to the full Senate for a vote.

The furlough practice allows a prison to temporarily release people for treatment if they have a terminal illness or are permanently disabled. If they’re well enough to return to prison, they do; if they remain in hospital care, they are in custody with supervision. The bill also requires families of people in nursing homes to be notified whether a furloughed prisoner has moved into the home.

The expense of inmate medical care was among the selling points of last year’s package of criminal justice reform bills. The state spent nearly $80 million on prisoner health care in 2017.

winners of the 2018 Ridenhour Prizes, presented each year to people “who persevere in the act of truth-telling that protect the public interest, promote social justice or illuminate a more just vision of society.” The award is named for the late investigative journalist Ron Ridenhour, who exposed the My Lai massacre in Vietnam 50 years ago and later worked at Gambit.

This year’s winners include Tarana Burke, who popularized the #MeToo movement; Carmen Yulin Cruz Soto, mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico; Lauren Markham, author of the book The Far Away Brothers; and Joe Piscatella, director of the documentary Joshua: Teenager vs. Superpower.

The awards will be presented April 18 at the National Press Club in Washington D.C.

Joe Biden coming to the Saenger Former Vice President Joe Biden will bring his “American Promise” tour to the Saenger Theatre June 5. The lifelong politician is on tour for the release of his 2017 memoir Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship and Purpose. At the event, he’ll discuss “big political moments of his career, the life-altering choices he made and the key traits that have helped him persevere through challenges,” according to a press release.

Though this is ostensibly a book tour, it’s hard not to see it as a teaser for a potential 2020 presidential campaign for the 75-year-old Biden. One recent poll suggests his candidacy would be supported by 84 percent of Democrats.

BY NOW YOU’VE PROBABLY SEEN THE VIDEO of dozens of local news

anchors around the country robotically reciting the same canned script warning viewers against “fake news.” The script was a diktat from the stations’ owner, Sinclair Broadcast Group. Sinclair owns and/or operates nearly 200 local TV stations around the country, including affiliates of CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, Telemundo and Univision. Soon, it likely will control even more.

Under President Donald Trump, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has loosened ownership laws that historically barred media companies from gaining monopolies in the markets they serve. Now, Sinclair is proposing a merger with Tribune Media, which would give it control of 233 local stations, according to a letter sent last month by U.S. Rep. Tony Cardenas to the U.S. Department of Justice.

The merger would give Sinclair even greater reach in new markets, including New Orleans, whose WGNO-TV (ABC) and WNOL-TV (The CW) would become Sinclair stations.

Sinclair Chairman David Smith has made his contempt for print journalism clear, telling New York magazine recently, “The print media is so left wing as to be meaningless dribble, which accounts for why the industry is and will fade away. Just no credibility.”

OK. Let’s talk “credibility.”

Sinclair provides its stations with corporate-generated, “must run” commentaries such as the one on “fake news.” Another “must run” is a segment with former Trump aide Boris Epshteyn, whose “Bottom Line With Boris” feature has included stories such as “Don’t buy into the media’s portrayal of a White House in chaos,” “Memo shows law

enforcement went out of bounds to go after Donald Trump” and other sycophantic editorials. These “must run” propaganda pieces are tucked between actual stories reported by trusted local anchors in every market where Sinclair owns a station — giving them an imprimatur they otherwise would not have: wrapping actual fake news in real news.

In 2004, Sinclair tried to strongarm local stations into running a dubious 42-minute “documentary” about then-presidential candidate John Kerry shortly before the election. Though the company claimed it was a news program, negative public reaction and a stock price drop forced Sinclair to abandon the plan. At the time, The New York Times editorialized, “If television companies force their local stations to campaign blatantly, it will not be long before the administrations that have the power to grant licenses begin expecting such favors as a quid pro quo. And the public will question whether it can afford to allow such concentrations of power in the hands of huge media corporations.”

Fourteen years later, here we are, facing an even larger concentration of power in one media corporation. If the Tribune Media merger goes through, WGNO-TV news viewers might be surprised to find a Russian-born political consultant named Boris praising the president in between stories about the New Orleans Saints, snowballs and other local enthusiasms.

Last week, Trump praised Sinclair in his tweets and once again decried “fake news,” which seems to be anything he doesn’t like or agree with, regardless of its objective veracity.

Sinclair’s approach smacks of state-run TV — and that’s the most dangerous “fake news” of all.

BLAKE PONTCHARTRAIN™ @GambitBlake | askblake@gambitweekly.com

Hey Blake, There are three statues above the altar at St. Louis Cathedral of saints or figures that I don’t recognize. Can you enlighten me?

Dear reader, There are many beautiful symbols inside St. Louis Cathedral, a building that dates to 1851. The present building is the third to stand on this site.

The first church was erected in 1727, only nine years after the city’s founding. According to church historians with the Archdiocese of New Orleans, elements of the earlier buildings are included in the present structure.

The statues represent the three virtues: hope (to the left of the altar), faith (in the center) and charity (on the right). The statue of hope is holding an anchor, which long has been a symbol of hope. The statue of faith is a female figure with a cross and a chalice for the Holy Eucharist. The statue depicting charity is holding two small children.

A spokeswoman for the archdiocese

said the statues and altar are from 1851, when the cathedral was renovated.

They were created in Ghent, Belgium.

On the wall behind them are inscribed the words “Ego sum Via e Veritas et Vita,” which means “I am the way, the truth and the life.” Above that is a mural depicting King Louis IX, later canonized St. Louis King of France, announcing the Seventh Crusade. The mural dates from 1872. Near the rear of the church is a statue of St. Louis, placed there in 2008.

There are two other statues on the main altar, one depicting St. Peter, standing to the right of the tabernacle and holding a key, and St. Paul, who is on the left and holding a book. Other statues in the cathedral depict St. Joan of Arc (installed in 1920), Our Lady of Prompt Succor, St. Joseph, St. Anthony of Padua and the Sacred Heart of Jesus. In the foyer are statues depicting Mary,

Queen of Poor Souls and St. Therese of Lisieux. The newest statue, located outside the cathedral, depicts St. John Paul II, the pope who visited the cathedral during his visit to New Orleans in 1987. The statue, a gift of the American Italian Cultural Center, was dedicated in January.

marker to write his way into history: Nash Roberts, born in New Orleans on April 13, 1918 — 100 years ago this week. During more than six decades on local television, the man everyone called simply “Nash,” became the city’s first television weather forecaster. Over the years, viewers came to trust his forecasts so much that the question “What does Nash say?” was how many gauged the severity of an impending storm. Roberts served in the Navy during World War II, where he was the first meteorologist to fly into the eye of a typhoon to plot the storm. In 1948, Roberts was hired

by WDSU-TV on a freelance basis to track the path of a hurricane. Three years later, he became the station’s full-time meteorologist, the first TV weathercaster in the South. He spent 22 years at WDSU before moving to WVUE-TV and, in 1978, WWL-TV. He retired from nightly forecasting after 10 years at Channel 4 but stayed on as the station’s hurricane expert. Roberts retired in 2001 and died in 2010.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM WAS AMONG THE FEW BRIGHT SPOTS in last year’s dispiriting

legislative session. Lawmakers adopted far-reaching laws that traded “tough on crime” grandstanding for “smart on crime” policies that have been proven to work.

The Louisiana Justice Reinvestment Task Force, a nonpartisan coalition of conservatives, liberals, clergy, judges, law enforcement, business people and civic leaders, spent a year developing legislation that streamlined Louisiana’s hodgepodge sentencing laws. The reforms were enacted with broad bipartisan support.

Many leading Republicans supported — and still support — criminal justice reform. A

handful of ambitious demagogues are now attacking it with lies and scare tactics, not because they care about public safety but because they hope to grab cheap headlines and run for another office. U.S. Sen. John Neely Kennedy, who can’t seem to stop running for something, is the most glaring (and shameless) example.

What’s particularly shameful is the timing of their efforts — the reform package took effect only months ago.

For decades, Louisiana lawmakers were intoxicated with the notion of locking up criminals. Now we spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year jailing nonviolent offenders, yet our crime rate remains high.

There are other costs.

Eventually, the vast majority of offenders gets released.

And when they get back on the street, guess what? Many of them carry a lot of anger, frustration and hopelessness, especially if no opportunities await them. The results are predictable, and measurable.

No other state addresses crime like Louisiana. Our state leads the world in incarceration rates and has a ridiculously high recidivism rate. The two are related.

That’s why last year’s reforms were so groundbreaking — and why efforts to roll

back those gains this year, before the reforms have had a chance to bear fruit, are so disappointing.

The worst example is House Bill 195 by Rep. Sherman Mack, R-Albany, who chairs the House Criminal Justice Committee. Mack’s HB 195, brought at the behest of district attorneys, guts one of the most crucial reforms, the one reducing the maximum probation time from five years to three.

Mack’s bill doesn’t just roll back the reform; it replaces it with a system that’s even worse than the old one. Spe-

Chickening out on criminal justice reform

CLANCY DUBOS cifically, it would reinstate the five-year maximum and force probation officers to spend endless hours writing reports and sitting in courtrooms, to little effect.

If the reforms enacted last year are given a chance to work, they will redirect millions of dollars toward reducing the number of offenders assigned to each probation officer. Lower caseloads lead to better results by lowering recidivism, which improves public safety.

“Probation officers are now just starting to see their high workloads begin to go down, which is a very positive thing,” says Gretna state Rep. Joe Marino, a criminal lawyer who shepherded most of the reform measures last year.

“Now some legislators want to reverse course and pile on — without giving the reforms a chance to work.”

This is not the time for lawmakers to chicken out on criminal justice reform. If they do, the chickens will come home to roost among their constituents — and soon.

Zachary Richard FRIDAY

7:30 p.m.-9 p.m.

CHEVRON CAJUN/ZYDECO SHOWCASE 400 DECATUR ST.

Lafayette native Zachary Richard has been a musician, poet and ambassador for Cajun culture for decades, but this will be his first appearance at French Quarter Festival. He’s also featured in a film, Zachary Richard, Cajun Heart, at Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre. In the last decade, he’s worked on several film and TV projects exploring the Acadian diaspora.

Richard sang in school while growing up, but learning to play accordion drew him into Cajun music. He also incorporates zydeco influences, relying more on bluesy accordion playing than Cajun fiddling. Many of his early albums were sung in French and released while he lived in Montreal in the 1970s and early 1980s. When he returned to Louisiana, he recorded several albums in English for Rounder Records and A&M, but he has carried the torch for traditional Cajun music. He released his 21st album, Gombo, in October 2017.

Blato Zlato SUNDAY

HEART OF BOURBON STREET STAGE 700 BOURBON ST.

Bulgarian-born percussionist Boyanna Trayanova heads Blato Zlato (“swamp gold” in Bulgarian), one of several local bands leading an Eastern bloc musical renaissance. The group is inspired by music from the Balkans and Eastern Europe and performs both traditional folk songs and original compositions with harmonic singing over standup bass, violin, accordion and percussion. In December 2017, the band released the album Voyage, inspired by a traditional Bulgarian song included on a musical compilation selected

by Carl Sagan to be sent into space on NASA’s Voyager.

FRIDAY

WITH COOL NASTY

7:30 p.m.-8:45 p.m.

SATURDAY

ABITA BEER STAGE, WOLDENBERG PARK

2 p.m.-3:25 p.m.

Chocolate Milk was a solid New Orleans funk and soul band in the 1970s and early ’80s, and it backed other artists as a studio band for Allen Toussaint.

The band struck out on its own, signing to RCA and releasing eight albums for the label. It’s best known for tunes including “Action Speaks Louder Than Words,” “Girl Callin’,” “Groove City” and “Blue Jeans.” In the early ’80s, the band left New Orleans, saw a lot of turnover in its lineup, dabbled in disco and disbanded in 1983. In the new millennium, Chocolate Milk regrouped, released a greatest hits album in 2002 and has re-emerged, showing that it hasn’t lost its chops with deep funk, soul and R&B.

WWL-TV ESPLANADE IN THE SHADE STAGE 400 ESPLANADE AVE.

New Orleans rapper Alfred Banks has performed at plenty of festivals, including Voodoo Music + Arts Experience and Buku Music + Art Project and he’s just back from Austin’s SXSW. His 2017 LP The Beautiful was inspired by the death of his brother Orlandas Banks, who suffered from mental illness and committed suicide. The album has been well-received, debuting at No. 12 on iTunes Rap/Hip-Hop chart and at No. 79 on Billboard’s Heatseekers Album chart.

CHEVRON CAJUN/ZYDECO SHOWCASE 400 DECATUR ST.

Bonsoir, Catin hails from Lafayette and was nominated for a Regional Roots Grammy Award for 2014’s Light the Stars. Its lineup includes Christine Balfa, daughter of legendary Cajun fiddler Dewey Balfa.

Guitarist Maegan Berard, daughter of musician Al Berard, also comes from a pedigreed family of Cajun performers. Violinist Anya Burgess, a renowned musician in her own right, performs with the Magnolia Sisters and runs a violin shop. But it’s not an exclusively Cajun band.

The almost all-female lineup — save drummer Danny Devillier — plays French-language ballads and Cajun dance hall standards, but also mixes in swamp pop, rock and blues.

SUNDAY, APRIL 15 11:15 A.M.

Dirty Rice Director Pat Mire’s 1997 narrative feature film is set against a backdrop of Cajun culture and music. After his father’s death, Louis Daigle leaves his career as an architect in New Orleans to preserve his family’s farm. It’s not easy learning to grow rice in the Acadian prairie, but he meets an old flame and tries to reconnect with his past.

1 P.M.

Forever Waves Singer-songwriter Kristin Diable stars in a story not unlike her own career trajectory. In this 2015 film, she plays a musician who becomes frustrated with chasing musical stardom in Los Angeles and returns home to rural Louisiana and her aging widower father (David Jensen).

The soundtrack features many of Diable’s songs, and the film also stars singer Maggie Koerner.

2:30 P.M.

Nine Lives: A Musical Adaptation Live, Act I followed by Q&A with Paul Sanchez 3:45 P.M.

Nine Lives: A Musical Adaptation Live, Act II Dan Baum’s book about New Orleans examines the city from the aftermath of Hurricane Betsy through the devastation of Hurricane Katrina and the levee failures. It focuses on nine New Orleanians, including King of Carnival Bill Grace and Coroner Frank Minyard. Sanchez’s musical adaptation was presented at Le Petit Theatre, with musicians and actors including Michael Cerveris, Bryan Batt, Harry Shearer, Tara Brewer, Shamarr Allen, Lillian Boutte and many others.

Vegan cafe focuses on food with health benefits

BY H E L E N F R E U N D @helenfreund NEW ORLEANS GENERALLY ISN’T KNOWN FOR HEALTHY EATING, but the trend has officially caught on here.

These days, it’s almost as easy to stumble upon a cold-pressed juice bar as a po-boy shop, and while the places pushing a health-forward menu are expanding quickly, the types available vary.

At Max Well, a new cafe on Magazine Street, owner Maxwell Eaton focuses on ingredients and the health benefits of each one. The format is straightforward and follows the increasingly popular fast-casual format: Choose a base salad and top it with a protein and dressing. All the salads have suggested pairings, but diners are encouraged to take a stab at creating their own based on their preferences and whimsy.

While the mix-and-match system can be fun, it left me wanting a few more options.

Of the salads, the California version is the most robust — a towering mix of greens topped with a mosaic of colorful ingredients, including sweet roasted red peppers, fresh cucumber slices, avocado wedges and a shower of spiraled carrots. French green lentils offer a soft touch of cumin and thyme, while the tangy and sweet flax miso dressing offers a citrusy ginger kick.

Everything on the menu is vegan, and the kitchen uses ingredients in smart ways to lend depth and character. An almond basil dressing may taste like there is dairy hiding in the shadows, but it’s almond butter that provides that creamy nudge. Some salads are sparse on their own, including a chickpea version that comprises little more than mixed greens, chickpeas, shaved carrots, seeded crackers and hummus — and begs for a rich protein and dressing like the almond basil or flax miso to add some much-needed heft. The same applies to a beet and kale salad, which is a delicious medley of kale leaves, flax seeds, chunks of

WHERE

red beets and quinoa, which needs a dressing with equal parts acid and depth to tie together the elements (the menu suggests a pomegranate vinaigrette, which worked well and helped break down the cruciferous parts). Of the protein toppers, the lentil kitchari, an Ayurvedic dish, was tinged yellow with turmeric and carried warm spice notes of cumin, coriander, garlic and ginger.

The menu extends beyond salads to include “power bowls” — protein and vegetable-centric grain bowls that are considerably heftier than their salad counterparts. The banh mi bowl didn’t really emulate its namesake but was tasty nonetheless. Here, a bowl of nutty brown rice is paired with marinated and baked tofu cubes, which had a slightly sweet and toasted flavor. The bowl gets spikes of acid from pickled cucumbers, jalapenos and carrots, while avocado wedges add creaminess and almonds provide crunch.

The NOLA bowl, anchored by red kidney beans and rice, is a much sweeter and decadent deal, arriving topped with a sweet jalapeno millet muffin, thick spears of vinegary car-

rots, cabbage and red peppers, and candy-like cubes of sweet potatoes topped with crumbled pecans. The bowl comes draped in a plum vinaigrette that helps dissect and compliment the richer layers present.

What sets Max Well apart from other health-focused restaurants in the city is that Eaton uses the cafe not only as a conduit for food but also as a dispensary of information. Health pamphlets line the front counter, and the restaurant’s social media feed offers frequent health tips and food trivia, which serve to inform diners about what ailments certain foods can help cure and why.

It’s a creative approach and a welcome addition to the health-forward dining options in town.

Jack Rose opens in Pontchartrain Hotel JUST A FEW WEEKS AFTER ITS PREDECESSOR SHUTTERED, Jack

Rose (2031 St. Charles Ave., 504323-1500; www.jackroserestaurant.com), the new restaurant at the Pontchartrain Hotel, opened for dinner April 6, taking over the space formerly held by the Besh Restaurant Group’s Creole revival, The Caribbean Room. That restaurant closed in early March, following multiple allegations of sexual misconduct at the Besh

Restaurant Group (BRG). Former BRG employees Brian Landry and Emery Whalen formed the new hospitality group, QED Hospitality, and launched the new concept.

The restaurant’s name is a reference to both the Jack Rose cocktail — a tipple made with applejack, grenadine, and lemon or lime juice — as well as the Tennessee Williams’ play The Rose Tattoo, which is set in Louisiana and features a character, Jack Hunter, who marries Rosa Delle Rose.

Though the space underwent significant changes in decor, artist Ashley Longshore’s portrait of Lil’ Wayne remains and additional artwork and designs from New Orleans-based artist Gavin Jones were added.

The owners describe the menu as a melding of New Orleans’ influences from Italian, French and Spanish dishes. It features small bites like spiced nuts, pimiento cheese, raw oysters on the half shell and chicken liver pate in the “living room” of the restaurant.

The dining room menu features starters such as steak tartare with cast-iron baked onion rolls, Royal Red shrimp with home-

made squid ink campanelle and a sauce of shallots, garlic, white wine and Calabrian chilies, popcorn sweetbreads with chimichurri, and a fritto misto served with lemon caper aioli.

Larger dishes include paneed veal served with arugula and a charred Meyer lemon salad, flounder with crawfish, morel mushrooms and English peas, and a roasted duck served with Bellegarde bakery grits, black kale and hunter’s sauce.

Jack Rose is open for dinner daily from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. The Living Room serves snacks and drinks daily from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m.

A Friday lunch service is scheduled to launch April 13 and run from 11 a.m. to 2 .m., and Sunday brunch service starts April 15 and will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

EAT+DRINK Brendan Dodd BAGEL BOY PROPRIETOR KNOWN BY MOST PEOPLE SIMPLY AS “BAGEL BOY,” Brendan Dodd started

his bagel delivery service while still a student at Loyola University. Since then, his business has expanded and Dodd now supplies 14 coffee shops with his bagels, including Mojo Coffee Roasters, The Bean Gallery, Sacred Grinds, Cafe Envie and more. Dodd spoke with Gambit about the bagel business.

How did you develop your business model for Bagel Boy? DODD: I graduated from Loyola University, and while I was there I worked at a local bagel shop (Humble Bagel) here in the city. While I was working there, I noticed at the end of the day, if they hadn’t sold a lot of the bagels, they would just throw them away. I asked them if they cared if I took them home to give to my friends and they said they didn’t mind. So it kind of became a thing where I would post on Facebook to see if anyone wanted any and I would bike bagels all over the city of New Orleans — just for fun, sort of as a way to get more exercise. I was biking maybe 30 to 40 miles a day delivering bagels. One day someone called me Bagel Boy, and the name just stuck. While I was working at the bagel shop and when I was delivering the bagels by bike, a lot of people would tell me that it was a cool idea and how they were upset that there weren’t too many bagel options in the city. I’ve learned that New Orleans is filled with a lot of non-locals — there are a lot of people who moved here, like myself, and there just seemed like there was a real lack of bagel shops in the city. After that, I got the idea to start Bagel Boy as an actual business. Since then I’ve gotten into 14 coffee shops, and the last year and a half business has just been blowing up — way more than I could have ever anticipated.

How do your bagels compare to the gold standard of New York bagels?

D: I’ve never actually had a bagel from New York, but a lot of my customers are people that moved here from New York and told me they liked my bagels. I appreciate everyone’s opinion, but I feel like a New Yorker’s opinion on bagels is what matters the most, so that was awesome.

I worked at [Humble Bagel] for about seven months, and there was a period when I worked there where I rolled bagels. I did it enough so that when I started my own business I knew more or less how to do it. There was about a three-month period where I was just messing around with ingredients, researching websites and trying to figure out what other people had done. There was a lot of trial

and error involved in perfecting the recipe I use now. I’ve had some people ask me if I would use a machine, but I think there is an art to the hand-rolled bagel.

What does your normal workday look like now?

D: I work every day and I do this full time. I started working out of a commissary kitchen and since July (2017), I wake up at around 1 a.m. and I get there around 2 (a.m.). I bake the bagels fresh every day.

Besides the coffee shops, customers can order the bagels through the website for next-day delivery.

On average, I bake between 250 and 300 bagels a day now. It’s a lot. It was a little rough to start, but now I have two employees and I just try to take naps when I get the chance. I don’t really bike the bagels around anymore. I do it mostly by car now. — HELEN FREUND

PREVIEW Big K.R.I.T.

BY NOAH BONAPARTE PAIS WHICHEVER K.R.I.T. HITS BIGGER FOR YOU — the self-mythologizing King Remembered In Time, tut-tutting would-be usurpers with trunk-rattling gall, skit-mocking skits and that real Southern-not-country/fish-andgrits shit; or just Justin Scott, humble mixtape underdog made amazingly good — his new magnum opus has a platter designed to speak directly to you. Odds are, both will. A low-frequency echo of 2011 highpoint Return of 4Eva, October release 4eva is a Mighty Long Time (Multi Alumni) also accidentally references the fate that befalls most mid-career double LPs — 22 tracks and 84 minutes is a mighty long time to hold modern attention spans. K.R.I.T. pulls it off by pulling together P H OTO B Y J O S H U A K I S S I seven other superstar producers (including hall-of-famers Mannie Fresh and Organized Noize and mere all-stars DJ Khalil and WLPWR) and an MC guest list to match (T.I., Bun B and the late Pimp C, CeeLo Green, Jill Scott, Bilal and Robert Glasper Jr.). He helms half the mammoth album himself, and his syrupy flow — a spiritual descendant of Houston (Geto Boys and UGK), Atlanta (OutKast and Goodie Mob) and, first and foremost, Meridian, Mississippi — is all over it, first in Clipse-eclipsing braggadocio on disc one (“Your confetti ain’t even heavy,” he rains over a vampiric video-game sample), then in a mirror staring match on disc two (“Mixed Messages” dares to taunt an on-the-nose bullseye). This “Heavy Is the Crown” tour smudges the fine line in between, a weigh station for the conscience behind the concussions. chyitheprynce, Childish Major and DJ Raj Smoove open. Tickets $25-$65.

N MOROE MOLD !

Renew…Refresh…

Refinish for Spring!

NEW YORK-BASED PAINTER SARAH MORRIS says her Sawdust and Tinsel expo explores the “semiotics of capital and power structures” and “unapologetic appropriation of corporate iconography, Warholian pop and minimalist seriality.” Despite the dire retro jargon, her work is lively and engaging. A keen observer, Morris has distilled the formal chaos and colors of everyday urban life into a contrapuntal visual music based on the tones and rhythms of particular places. Her tersely angular Danuza Leao and buoyantly bubbly Rio Atlantica paintings reflect the contrasting dynamics of Rio de Janeiro, one of the world’s most boisterously vivacious cities. But the tensely staggered expanses of her “Abu Dhabi” series reflect the destabilizing impact global commerce has on the traditional austerities of the Middle Eastern cultural landscape. The best of Morris’ geometric compositions insightfully reflects the interaction of natural and man-made forces all around us, as seen in February 2017 (pictured), with its suggestions of Copernican diagrams of lunar and planetary cycles — or maybe the inner workings of pinball machines.

The drawings and collages in Swedish mixed-media artist/musician Jockum Nordstrom’s Why Is Everything a Rag exhibit recall vintage weirdo art, from elegant old-time Euro-kink to Henry Darger’s otherworldly visions of feral children. Arranged in storyboard fashion, they hark to the way folklore and surrealism explored the darkly whimsical corners of the psyche common to us all. The title is from an old Swedish poem, but Nordstrom also relates his helter-skelter graphical sequences to the “ragged” syncopations of ragtime music. The exhibition’s imposing title work is a darkened chamber, where his drawn and collaged figures come to life eerily in a kind of animated shadow-box projection that recalls the 19th-century magic lantern animations that preceded modern movies. Here, as in his drawings and musical performances, Nordstrom takes us to an uncharted territory of the imagination that, while you may not want to live there, can be an oddly intriguing place to visit. Through June 17. Contemporary Arts Center, 900 Camp St., (504) 528-3805; www.cacno.org.
