Designed as a living museum depicting life at the turn of the century, the renovation of the 400 block of South Rampart Street will revitalize existing historical structures and recreate the legendary taverns and dance halls that now exist only in faded photos and memories. Visitors to this living jazz museum will experience, firsthand, the sights and sounds of life during that remarkable time. It's easy to look at this forlorn string of buildings and imagine the value of the real estate beneath them. With decades of experience in business, Bobby McIntyre fully understands economics and market demands. But he also understands the value of history and the importance of preserving our links to the past. Gambit > bestofneworleans.com > october 05 > 2010 When Bobby stepped into the cold, musty shell of the structure that once housed the bustling Eagle Saloon, � Bobby McIntyre � he envisioned the very same place where a 12-year-old named Daniel Louis Armstrong first blew his horn and launched a revolution in music. In a town so seemingly rooted in its own sense of place, Bobby McIntyre saw the birthplace of jazz slowly disappearing with each new office tower, condominium and hotel. And so, with a committed group of supporters called the New Orleans Jazz Restoration Society, Bobby set out to preserve the true birthplace of jazz. There is still work to do before the living museum of jazz history becomes a reality. But with the experience, vision and passion of a man like Bobby McIntyre, we look forward to seeing young Louis blow his horn on South Rampart Street once again. Bobby McIntyre...

We've almost become inured to this, but when it's a child who's slain, the infinite senselessness leaves us all the more dumbstruck and groping for answers. On Sept. 26, 2-year-old Jeremy Galmon was sitting in a car with his grandmother, blocks from where the Young Men Olympian Junior Benevolent Association's second line had passed earlier, when a gunman or gunmen in another car unleashed a fusillade. A bullet shattered Jeremy's face. Police were on the scene almost immediately and Jeremy was taken to University Hospital, where he died. It's only human to be furious when something this inexplicable occurs, but some were quick to connect the death of Jeremy Galmon with the second line parade, which was unwarranted and untrue. Galmon's family hadn't been to the parade, and the shooter had no connection with the social aid and pleasure club. It was a random act of violence in a neighborhood -- and a city -- that sees too many of them. The same misplaced blame happened three weeks earlier, when a 32-year-old woman was shot outside Sidney's Saloon in the 7th Ward on Sept. 5, and some in the media inaccurately reported it as a murder at a second line (the Black Men of Labor had paraded earlier). Some have even suggested that second lines should be shut down. We disagree totally. The second lines don't need to stop. The shooting needs to stop. At a press conference on Sept. 27, one day after the Galmon shooting, Mayor Mitch Landrieu and New Orleans Police Chief Ronal Serpas stood with members of the African-American faith community, the second line community and Mardi Gras Indians to ask for the public's cooperation in finding the killers in these cases. Thanks to cooperation between Central City residents and the NOPD, two suspects were arrested by Friday morning. New Orleans' social aid and pleasure clubs were initially founded in the 1800s as "benevolent societies," groups that banded together to do community work and cover the funeral expenses of their members. Today, the groups work to strengthen their neighborhoods, providing social outlets for young people, teaching them music and history and how to create the intricate beadwork that makes the Indian suits so beautiful. The groups provide role models for boys in a world where strong role models are in short supply. The second line community has been a force for good and an avatar of pride long before the days when any fool could get an automatic weapon, and they do not deserve to be confused with thugs who murder children. New Orleanians who reacted angrily when some suggested Mardi Gras should be canceled after Hurricane Katrina were right -- Mardi Gras is part of our city's culture. No one suggests eliminating the World Cup in response to soccer hooliganism; nor does anyone suggest that Carnival krewes shouldn't roll because of violence along some parade routes. Central City suffers from a plague of violence, but it's not because Mardi Gras Indians or brass bands brought it there. After the Sept. 27 press conference, Gerard Dollis, Big Chief of the Wild cold feet...hot booties starting at $ 40 clothes + accessories 7732 maple 865 . mon - sat 10-6 9625 The second lines don't need to stop. The shooting needs to stop. Magnolias tribe, told Gambit he had been at the Young Men Olympians parade that day and tried to help his elderly father down the street when he heard the shots. "It was the outsiders," Dollis said. Shereece Harrison-Nelson, a thirdgeneration Mardi Gras Indian, said there was another Indian phrase similar to the familiar "hey pocky way," and that was "two way, pocky way" -- "It means, `You go your way, and I'll go mine,'" she explained. This problem cries out for a strong partnership between leaders of the social aid and pleasure clubs and NOPD, and it demands that citizens get involved when they see something wrong. Part of the solution is making sure young people learn right from wrong, a job the men and women of the marching groups and the Mardi Gras Indians are uniquely qualified to carry out. A boy who grows up with a tuba or a headdress in his hand doesn't have room to hold a gun. Two way, pocky way. JUMPSTART YOUR SUMMER WORKOUT.

Miro St. was built by Smith Wendell Green, who was born a slave but as an adult pioneered the image of a successful black businessman in New Orleans. He made his fortune as a grocer, then became president of Liberty Independence Insurance and in 1908 was elected Supreme Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of Louisiana, a fraternal organization he led for 27 years. That group provided brotherhood for its members, but also helped support widows and orphans and paid for burials. In 1928, Green commissioned Weiss, Dreyfous & Seiferth, architects who later designed the Louisiana State Capitol, the governor's mansion and Charity Hospital, to build the mansion in a Neo-Classical Revival style with Craftsman influences. "The house is important because, in a city ... so well known for its mansions, this is the only remaining example of an early 20th-century mansion built in the city by an African American," says architect/ historian Kenneth Bryant, who studied Green and his mansion for 15 years and now is working with its owners, who want to move and renovate the house. The opulence of the mansion, its proximity to a middle-class white neighborhood along Canal Street and its reflection of an African-American's success as a businessman and community leader stuck in the craw of some people in the white community. In his 2009 article, "A Crucial Piece of Black History Faces the Wrecking Ball in Louisiana," Bryant says Green received threats during construction, and the house was partially burned, reportedly by the Ku Klux Klan, while it was being built. Green completed the home in Mid-City anyway. Because of Green's importance to the African-American community, his home came to symbolize how blacks could achieve the American Dream. That is the source of the current controversy. The house, which sits in the LSU/VA footprint, was not on the list of 28 historic homes to be moved to vacant lots in other parts of the city. The concern is that because Green's home is not on the list to be moved, it must be scheduled for demolition. Ryan Berni, press secretary for Mayor Mitch Landrieu, says that is not necessarily so. "The city and preservationists would like to see that house saved, but because it's so large, they're trying to work out the logistics," he said last week. "The intention is to save it. They're trying to find a resolution to this issue." The process for moving homes from the LSU/VA site calls for state contrac- tors (including the The Green nonprofit Builders mansion (shown of Hope) to inspect here from the buildings on the side) sits in limbo footprint to make on the footprint of the new LSU/ sure they can be VA hospital. moved without major structural damage. The city hopes to move 100 historically or architecturally significant homes from the area, Berni says. In June, Landrieu demanded the state halt demolitions of historic homes in the hospital footprint and move the homes to sites provided by nonprofits. The nonprofits are scheduled to rehab the houses and sell them at affordable prices. The mansion on South Miro Street isn't the only architectural treasure Green left as his legacy. In 1909, he commissioned a seven-story Pythian Temple office building at 234 Loyola Ave. in the Central Business District. It cost $200,000 and is considered to be the most expensive building in the city at that time funded by African Americans. That building remains, although it has been covered with a modern facade. Green died in 1946, apparently of old age, Bryant says. "The most fascinating thing about this house is that [the possible demolition] is really a slap in the face," he says. "Green's choice of that location was kind of breaking color barriers in an area that was next to middle-class whites. When he built the house, it was bigger than most, if not all, of his neighbors'."

Everyone, especially those who live along the coast, wants offshore energy production safety standards strengthened. But we have been able to demonstrate that the oil and gas industry can improve safety progressively over time, without a complete work stoppage." -- Sen. Mary Landrieu, explaining her rationale for continuing her hold on the nomination of Jack Lew, whom the Obama administration has nominated to be director of the Office of Management and Budget. LA LIKELY TO LOSE ONE CONGRESSIONAL SEAT Who Killed Jessica Hawk? A MEMORIAL GARDEN IS DEDICATED TO THE VICTIM OF A 2008 BYWATER MURDER. BY ALE X WOODWARD n 2008, Antoinette K-Doe hung only three photos inside the Mother-In-Law Lounge on Claiborne Avenue. One was a portrait of Barack and Michelle Obama. The other two were of Jessica Hawk. Hawk was found dead inside her Bywater shotgun home on Chartres Street Monday, Aug. 11, 2008. Police discovered her body while conducting a well-being check that morning. She was 32. There have been no arrests. The District Attorney's Office has yet to file any information. DNA tests -- whose results came more than six months after her murder -- yielded no I suspects. But now, more than two years later, with an awareness campaign and a public determined to shed light on her death, Crimestoppers is upping the reward -- the stock $2,500 it offers will jump to $25,000. The reward, along with a Justice for Jessica campaign dedicated to solving her murder and promoting peace, will be announced at the dedication of a memorial garden in the Bywater at 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 9. "It hit us that if there were to be any movement on the case, we were going to have to try and help it along," says Hawk's former fiance Lee Horvitz. "Planning, finalizing, ordering -- in doing all the things with this garden, we also hope in a way is part of Justice for Jessica, that it might create some kind of spirit that is going to help solve the case." The garden sits on the neutral ground at the neighborhood marker -- behind the Bywater sign at Press Street and St. Claude Avenue, behind the railroad tracks -- where raised beds with flowers and herbs form a box with a tree standing in its center. Quotes from Tennessee Williams and Hawk's mother appear on plaques in the beds, and a main PAGE 10 Although results of the 2010 Census are not yet official, preliminary numbers appear to confirm early fears that Louisiana will lose a congressional seat as a result of reapportionment next year. Louisiana had eight seats in Congress before the 2000 Census, but lost one seat afterward as a result of outmigration. Continued loss of population, particularly after the 2005 hurricanes, is likely to cost the state yet another seat, dropping its total to six seats by 2012. The official Census numbers are set to be released in December, but a recent estimate and analysis done for the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) shows Louisiana as one of eight states losing one seat each. New York and Ohio stand to lose two seats each. The big gainers PAGE 11 c'est what?

Benson, a Loyola alumnus, has been a major donor to the university and received its highest honor, the Integritas Vitae award, earlier this year. aka Dr. John, was among this year's nominees for the 2011 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced Sept. 28. Rebennack, 69, has been active in the New Orleans music scene since the 1950s, before becoming world renowned in the 1970s. In the last five years, Dr. John has been a fierce advocate for Katrina relief and wetlands restoration. The Hall of Fame will announce its final selection in December. City Council President Arnie Fielkow personally donated $25,000 to the 9th Ward Field of Dreams project Sept. 30, bringing the George Washington Carver High School closer to its goal of a stateof-the-art athletic facility that will be open to the community free of charge. The program, which was begun by a young teacher named Brian Bordainick, has raised more than $1 million toward its goal of $1.85 million. David Simon, creator of the shows Treme and The Wire, was chosen this week for a fellowship by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, an honor sometimes referred to as the "MacArthur genius grant." The grant comes with a no-stringsattached cash award of $500,000. Treme, which was largely well-received by critics as well as locals, is set to air its second season in the first half of 2011. 09 news views page 9 S E A F O O D & I TA L I A N OCTOBER FEAST October 4th - 16th SERVED WITH SOUP OR SALAD FROM $13.95-$15.95 Sauerbraten with Egg NOOdles & Sauerkraut Weiner Schnitzel with Sauerkraut & POtatOes Jaeger Schnitzel & SOur Cream & MushrOOm Sauce ith Sauerkraut & POtatOes Schnitzel ala HOlstein, Egg & AnchOvies with Sauerkraut & POtatOes COrned Beef & Cabbage with POtatOes Bratwurst with Sauerkraut & POtatOes Warstiener Beer Dark & Light PiespOrter Michelsberg German ChOcOlate Cake Special Lunch and Dinner excluding sundays marker is dedicated to Hawk. Horvitz helped develop the garden with the Bywater Neighborhood Association and the city's Department of Parks and Parkways, which provided the space (on public property) and gave planning guidance. "Early on, the deepest motivation for me in doing this was a voice that came to me and said, `Jessica will not be erased,'" Horvitz says. "When I and a few others ... first had this idea, someone said to me, `You know, it's not going to bring her back.' And I thought, `What kind of idiot do you think I am? Of course it's not going to bring her back.' Then I realized, unconsciously, I was thinking it would bring her back. But I've learned it won't. But it does keep her here, in some way." Horvitz says the garden is built to last at least 100 years. "It's the perfect place," he says. "Her voice must be heard on this issue for decades and decades to come." HAWk AND HOrvITz mOvED frOm OHIO into a home in Uptown New Orleans in 2003. The couple evacuated the city before Hurricane katrina and the levee failures, then returned two-and-a-half months later and found a rental in the Bywater. Hawk was hired as an entomologist on the team that opened the Audubon Insectarium in June 2008, and she also was awarded the first post-katrina scholarship for graduate study in the biology department at the University of New Orleans. The couple was engaged in 2006, but separated the following year. Hawk was living alone in the apartment, but the two stayed in touch and made plans to have dinner Sunday, Aug. 10. When Horvitz tried to reach Hawk that weekend, she never replied. "We believe ... she was killed either friday night or Saturday sometime," he says. "That's how I turned out to be the one that got thinking, `What's going on here?'" Horvitz called police, and officers performed a wellness check monday morning. Police discovered her body, which had multiple stab wounds. Within 15 minutes, a crime scene developed -- the New Orleans Police Department, National Guard and army personnel crowded the shotgun apartment. Detectives asked Horvitz, "Did you kill her?," Horvitz remembers. 3524 SEVERN AVENUE � METAIRIE 455-2266 MON-TUES 7AM-3PM � WED-SUN 7AM-9PM CLOTHING 714 ADAMS ST. [504] 872-9230 facebook.com/ryeclothing "You just have to look him in the eye and respond," he says. DNA swabs and samples were sent to Baton rouge. Horvitz and Hawk's family waited more than six months for the results, which found only Hawk's DNA at the scene. Homicide detective Winston Harbin says there was no indication of forced entry. "from our point of view, the forensic team didn't do a good job," says Ivonne Garzon, Hawk's friend and an activist for a DNA lab in New Orleans. "We asked about fingerprints, fingernails, (NOPD) said there was no evidence. Her apartment was small. We don't understand how someone could break in and not leave a trace." New Orleans lost its DNA lab following the 2005 levee failures, when the facility flooded. Samples are now sent to Louisiana State Police in Baton rouge, where they're outsourced, again, to a private company. The building that housed the New Orleans lab was demolished in 2009. (See "DNA D.O.A.," cover story, Aug. 2, 2010.) "It took six-and-a-half months for the DNA results to come back, and for a case like this, that is beyond outrageous," Horvitz says. "I would rank that as offensive to the citizenry as the condition of [New Orleans recreation Department], which is absolutely scandalous. Why (do) New Orleanians seem willing to accept conditions that are unacceptable in certain areas of life?" With the launch of a Justice for Jessica campaign, Horvitz hopes to reopen the case and attract more public attention -- not just for Hawk, but other victims of crime, as well as the severity of violence in New Orleans. The campaign hopes to promote the case with street-level public awareness ("Who killed Jessica Hawk" stickers and posters), and, with the cooperation and guidance of NOPD, potentially hire a forensic pathologist and independent detective. Horvitz also helped Crimestoppers increase its reward from the standard $2,500 to $25,000, which will be announced at the Oct. 9 memorial service. Crimestoppers executive director Darlene Cusanza says the reward is an opportunity to "generate some publicity" for the case, despite it sitting cold for more than a year. Harbin says the reward increase is likely to generate interest. An announcement made in July to increase the reward for information on the July 2004 murder of John macLellan in Lakeview helped Harbin find a person of interest in the case. But for now, Harbin says, detectives have nothing further to go on in Hawk's case. "It's sad to say," Harbin says. "The only thing we can do at this time is get it in the public." THE WEEk fOLLOWING HEr DEATH, Hawk was scheduled to begin a new job at the New Orleans Botanical Garden at City Park. She was working at Harold's IndoorOutdoor Plants -- across the street from her memorial garden. Narrating a YouTube video about the memorial garden, Horvitz says, "Her case remains unsolved. We are determined to close it." "When you say something like that, you're aware it's just bravado, wish and hope," he says. Horvitz says it was Harold's owner Harold Applewhite's idea to build the garden in the neutral ground, where organizers broke ground in August 2009. "The garden is a way for us to keep a little piece of Jessica in the city," Garzon says. The dedication ceremony will include a vigil with members of the anti-violence group Ceasefire, led by organizer Charles Anderson, as well as a performance by Lisa Lynn and Leslie martin playing music from a list of Hawk's favorite songs. Attendees are encouraged to write their names or messages to Hawk on a 9 feet by 4 feet concrete slab, which then will be protected with a sealant. "It's a celebration, but we did not want to gloss over the fact that she was murdered," Horvitz says. A Tennessee Williams quote appears on one plaque: "After all, a high station in life is earned by the gallantry with which appalling experiences are survived with grace." "We not only have to live on," Horvitz says, "we have to live better." Anyone with information is asked to contact Crimestoppers at 822-1111 or toll free at (877) 903-STOP. Callers do not have to give their names or testify to receive the cash reward. GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > OCTOBER 05 > 2010 10 scuttlebutt page 9 are expected to be Texas, which stands to gain four seats, and Florida, which could gain two seats. Six other states appear likely to gain one seat each. The study for NCSL was done by Esri, a national GIS and demographics consulting company. Esri used U.S. Census Bureau population estimates and its own additional research to track and project population trends. According to Esri's analysis, Louisiana's latest population figure will be slightly more than 4.5 million. The median population for a congressional district will be approximately 715,000. Once the official census figures are released, individual state legislatures must redraw districts for local, state and federal officials who represent districts. Louisiana lawmakers are expected to convene in a special session early next year to deal with reapportionment issues. In addition to losing a congressional seat, state legislative seats will be reshuffled significantly as a result of post-Katrina population shifts. In that reshuffling, the New Orleans area is likely to lose at least one state Senate seat and up to three state House seats. To complicate things further, Louisiana is a Voting Rights Act state, which means all new district boundaries are subject to review by the U.S. Justice Department, which must "preclear" new district boundaries before elections can be held in those new districts. The new district lines also can be challenged in court -- as they have been many times in the past. -- Clancy DuBos FREE PUBLIC TO THE OPEN LIVE MU SIC VOICE OF THE WETLANDS ALL-STARS w/ TAB BENOIT, CYRIL NEVILLE, JOHNNY VIDACOVICH, ANDERS OSBORNE, JUMPIN' JOHNNY SANSONE, COREY D., WAYLON THIBODEAUX & BIG CHIEF MONK BOUDREAUX ZEBRA � BEAU SOLEIL AVEC MIICHAEL DOUCET � GALACTIC John Lisi's Guitar Fight: Ernie Vincent, Billy Iuso, John Lisi, Michael Juan Nunez, Josh Garrett, Frank T.

OCT 5-10PM 8�9�10 8 FRI 9 SAT 12-10PM Emotional toll A Gallup Poll released Sept. 28 found a direct correlation between emotional health and Gulf Coast residents' proximity to the BP oil disaster. Residents of five states (Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida) were surveyed. While those living in inland parishes and counties showed no drops in emotional health (defined as stress, worry and/or sadness), more than onequarter of the residents of gulf-facing parishes and counties reported diagnoses of clinical depression. That number tracked a study of Alabama residents by the Centers for Disease Control, which found 23 percent of respondents said at least one family member was dealing with sleeplessness as a result of the disaster. In August, BP announced it would provide $52 million in mental health funding to four of the states (excluding Texas) as well as to the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

In July, Alan Levine, then-secretary of the DHH, had requested nearly $29 million from the oil giant. -- Kevin Allman Regional levee board member and historian John Barry painted a bleak picture for members of the Oil Spill Commission in recent testimony, saying that failure to act soon to shore up Louisiana's coast will have dire economic and environmental consequences for the entire nation. Noting that Louisiana has lost an area larger than the state of Delaware to coastal erosion, Barry said, "If you place Delaware between New Orleans and the sea, it wouldn't need any levees. Land loss has made populated areas in Louisiana and Mississippi vastly more vulnerable than did nature. They are vastly more vulnerable than they were even 50 to 60 years ago. And that land loss is continuing." Barry also cited figures underscoring Louisiana's strategic economic and energy significance to the rest of the nation. For example: � The majority of all domestic oil and gas is produced offshore of Louisiana. � Louisiana is home to 19 refineries (15 percent of the nation's refining capacity), all within reach of hurricane storm surge. � The life cycle of more than 90 percent of all fish and 98 percent of all commercial species in the Gulf of Mexico depends on Louisiana marshes. � By weight, 40 percent of all commercial fish caught in the U.S. is caught in Louisiana waters. � Five of the 15 largest ports in the country are in Louisiana, and 18 percent of all waterborne commerce in the United States passes through Louisiana waters. � Twenty percent of all U.S. exports (56 percent of all U.S. grain exports) travel down the Mississippi River. "The continued erosion of the Louisiana coast threatens all of that," Barry told the commission. "The national economy and national security depend on protecting and preserving the economic infrastructure currently in place." Barry Warns spill panel As proof of that claim, Barry noted that gasoline prices spiked $1 a gallon after Hurricane Katrina interrupted gulf supplies and refining. Katrina also knocked out access to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, he said. "That's just the impact on national energy supplies, not the port system," Barry added. "There is simply no other way to give the interior of the nation -- the body of the nation -- cheap, efficient access to the sea. ... So, what's at stake is the well-being of the entire nation." -- DuBos Bp's animal Toll Every BMW is engineered to be driven and you can do it without hesitation because every BMW comes with more no-cost coverage than any other vehicle.

Animals are dying not just in the water, but also in captivity. A consolidated Deepwater Horizon Response report from Sept. 30 shows that since disaster response began in April, wildlife agencies have collected 8,130 birds, 1,124 sea turtles and 105 mammals. Of those totals, 6,104 birds, 593 turtles and 98 mammals were found dead, and 2,076 birds, 534 turtles and nine mammals were collected alive. Those that survived capture and were successfully rehabilitated and released include 1,122 birds, 316 turtles and only three mammals. (The release of a bottlenose dolphin scheduled for Oct. 1 has been postponed until later this week, according to the Audubon Nature Institute, which has cared for the 2-year-old dolphin at its Audubon Aquatics Center.) That means that of those animals collected alive, 840 birds, 218 turtles and eight mammals are not reflected in the report. According to Charna Lefton, a spokeswoman with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, those animals are not in the report because they either died in captivity from injuries (related to oil or not) or were euthanized after they were determined "not candidates for release." Some birds and mammals are under longterm care and have yet to be released. -- Alex Woodward Veterinary Hospital, Pet Resort & Spa 12 EM E RG S H A PP E N CIE AT EN Call for NomiNatioNs: 40 UNder 40 2212 David Dr. � Metairie 70003 887-2999 � www.PetCareCenterInc.com Gambit is looking for the best and brightest area residents under 40 years old to be honored in our annual "40 Under 40" issue.

The Broken Record T he record shows: As far as New Orleans goes, I'm a booster. A big fan. I really dig the place. The record shows. So I'm not particularly comfortable in the role of the edgy pessimist. But there is a local movie I've seen too many times to think the ending is going to change now. It has run on endless loop for the 25 years I have called New Orleans home: A terrible, horrible crime occurs. The city gets up in arms. March on City Hall. Demand change. We're mad as hell and not gonna take it anymore! Editorials bray. Politicians bloviate. Time passes. Nothing changes. A year or two later -- a terrible, horrible crime occurs. The city gets up in arms. Rinse. Repeat. Sound cynical? You bet. Sound familiar? All too. Some unfortunate child, musician or tourist becomes a cause celebre, the flavor of the month on the bleeding-heart special, then just fades into another name etched into this city's sickeningly thick portfolio of homicide victims. So we promise ourselves we will change, we will remember. But we're so deep in denial we can't see past the yellow police tape and flashing cherrytops that block our view of the crime scene. As a community, we roleplay as Charlie Brown and Lucy: C'mon, Charlie Brown! Come kick the ball! It will be different this time! But it won't be different this time. That's just New Orleans being New Orleans. Remember the Louisiana Pizza Kitchen! Remember Amy Silberman! Remember Helen Hill! Remember Dinerral Shavers! Remember Jeremy Galmon! Who could forget, really? The real question is: After we remember ... then what? What happens? What do we do? What is the answer? When -- and how -- do we really change? When do we stop frantically looking for answers under the same sofa cushions we've looked under hundreds of times before? Schools. Playgrounds. Jobs. It's all piffle. These guys don't want jobs. These guys don't shoot each other because they don't have jobs. Whoever shot Jeremy Galmon is not going to take the stand in his defense and say he had no other choice because he couldn't find work. And to suggest otherwise is more navel-gazing denial -- but we have to suggest it, because not to suggest it is to admit there is no solution. And we can't do that. But neither the problem nor the solution is about schools, jobs or second line parades. The problem is and has been the same for as long as I have lived in this town. The problem is parents. And lack of them. Lack of caring, nurturing, supervision. Lack of giving a damn. I hate to go all Oprah on you, but there is no hope for a child raised without love. It's a sad, sick, sorry-ass state of affairs: Babies make babies who kill babies. But no one wants to talk about it. No one wants to suggest it. That would mean we have to talk about race and class and it would mean that it is not institutions, but actual individuals, who are responsible for all of this. I'm not a psychologist, sociologist, academic or expert on the matter, but I tell you with absolute authority that this is the case. There is a colossal, nearly pathological epidemic of the failure to acknowledge personal responsibility in this community. And no one wants to dig real deep into that discussion because it makes us really uncomfortable. Rebuilding and Reforming New Orleans Historian Pamela Tyler, author of Silk Stockings and Ballot Boxes: Women and Politics in New Orleans, 1920-1965, explores the changes women's organizations have brought to the social and political life of New Orleans. Civic leaders Ruthie Frierson, Citizens for 1 Greater New Orleans; Anne Milling, Women of the Storm; and LaToya Cantrell, Broadmoor Improvement Association, will join Dr. Tyler for a discussion about their work since Katrina. A Woman's Work Is Never Done Thursday, October 7, 2010, 7 p.m. Nunemaker Auditorium FREE It's a sad, sick, sorry-ass state of affairs: Babies make babies who kill babies. Much easier to create a jobs program, to cut the ribbon at a new pool that will begin to fall into immediate disrepair or to throw money at failing schools. Because we don't even know we have a problem on our hands until 16 years after the fact, after a child has been raised by wolves in the street, and you don't have to strain to hear them howl their sorrows and lamentations at the moon every night. The sound is very familiar: gunshots. Sixteen years after the fact is the point at which an unloved, unlearned, unwanted teenager picks up a gun and strikes out for what he deserved all along but never got at home -- respect and a guide to manhood. And then he blows the face off a 2-yearold boy and makes us all mad as hell. And so the question is: What do we do about parents who do not love their children, who do not raise their children, who do not supervise their children? I'll repeat that: What do we do about parents who do not raise their children? Exactly my point.

Most state legislators are looking to the spring of 2011 with dread, knowing they will have to make deep budget cuts right before they run for re-election. And that's right after redrawing House and Senate districts (in a separate special session), which is always a bloody mess. I have followed Louisiana's legislative process for more than three decades. Fiscal crises are nothing new. The one staring lawmakers and Gov. Bobby Jindal in the face, however, looms larger than anything in our lifetimes. If the governor and lawmakers fail to make good choices in the next eight months, their decisions could wipe out some public universities and hospitals ... or set them back so far that it will take decades to recover. It doesn't have to be that way. With vision and leadership, Jindal and lawmakers can approach this crisis as an opportunity -- a chance to reinvent state government. They still would have to make tough decisions, but their decision-making matrix would shift from a short-term, one-year plan to a long-term, three- to five-year plan for changing the scope of state government and turning our balkanized higher education system into one with integrated flagship, junior and community colleges -- a system based on excellence, not politics. That takes leadership, which is in short supply these days. Jindal, who likes to portray himself as decisive, is actually the most risk-averse governor in my lifetime. Instead of seeing this crisis as a chance to reinvent state government, he's posing for photo ops, passing the buck, and raising millions out of state on his perpetual I'm-not-really-running-for-president campaign. Fiscally, Jindal is preparing another oneyear budget that he is keeping under wraps (his administration is, after all, one of the least "transparent" in the nation) until February. That will leave lawmakers very little time to study his proposed budget and suggest alternatives. Thankfully, some lawmakers are working on the problem on their own. State Sen. Jack Donahue, R-Covington, and House Speaker Jim Tucker, R-Algiers, chaired special committees tasked with recommending ways to trim state government and higher education costs last year, with mixed results. Senate President Joel Chaisson, D-Destrehan, and others are talking about suspending some tax breaks that lawmakers foolishly adopted in 2008 (such as rolling back the Stelly income tax brackets -- which voters adopted in 2002 in a The proposed suspensions could be enacted via a concurrent resolution, which Jindal could not veto. statewide referendum). Interestingly, the proposed suspensions could be enacted via a concurrent resolution, which Jindal (who values his "tax virginity" more than the state's long-term fiscal viability) could not veto. Another interesting tack comes from state Sen. David Heitmeier, D-Algiers, a practicing optician who has made it his mission to spare public hospitals from unnecessary cuts. In 2009, Heitmeier authored a bill to leverage parish contributions to community hospitals to get more federal health care dollars. Earlier this year, he expanded that idea to reengineer the funding and operations of local health services contracts so state dollars could be redirected to leverage even more federal matching dollars. State and federal health officials are working out details of the Heitmeier plan, but in the coming years his proposals could bring in well over half a billion dollars in health care funds for public, private and community hospitals. That's the kind of vision and leadership that's needed across the board. Unfortunately, it's not what we've been getting from Bobby Jindal.

H ere's a quick trivia question: Who owns the New Orleans Hornets? If you said George Shinn -- the franchise's only owner -- you're technically right. If you said Gary Chouest, Louisiana's lone billionaire who's been named as Shinn's successor, you'd also be right (though the monthslong process is not complete). But what if you said Chris Paul? Crazy as it may sound, this may be the current, if temporary, state of NBA economics. Star players like CP3 now possess far greater leverage to make demands and play where -- and with whom -- they want. "Basketball players are different now," Hornets general manager Dell Demps told reporters at the team's media day Sept. 26. "With all the tournaments they play in high school, they become friends. How they're coming into the NBA has changed." Demps was hired among swirling trade rumors involving Paul and his friends around the league. On media day, the new GM addressed how the Internet has allowed players from New York to California to stay in touch and form bonds through high school, college and into the pros. There's also the rejuvenated Team USA basketball program, which has grabbed the best, but unproven, young talent in the league to re-establish America's basketball dominance. It was on Team USA that LeBron James became close with Paul and emerging stars Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade 19 JCC FITNESS CENTERS "who dat" say they gonna get in shape?

So while James was vilified after ditching his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers to play with Bosh and Wade for the Miami Heat, close observers of the league might have seen it coming. Back in 2007, Bosh, Wade and James all signed relatively short contract extensions for less short-term money in exchange for the chance to decide their collective futures in 2010. But while James drew the most attention and criticism for not reupping with Cleveland (not to mention the ESPN circus that was "The Decision"), Carmelo Anthony of the Denver Nuggets is now trying to forgo fulfilling his contract altogether. As teams enter training camp, the big news has been Anthony 's demand to be traded to the Gambit > bestofneworleans.com > october 05 > 2010 DAVID WEST SAYS THE NBA HAS ONLY FOUR OF FIVE TEAMS IN THE "UPPER ECHELON" -- AND THE HORNETS AREN'T ONE OF THEM. 20 COVER STORY New Jersey Nets. While talks of the trade were stalled at press time, the fact that a franchise player still under contract could even get his team to negotiate trading him (and to the 12-70 Nets!), speaks volumes about the shifting power dynamics of the league: The players are running things. ENTER CHRIS PAUL. PAUL HAS built a reputation as a social player and is known for hosting members of opposing teams in his New Orleans penthouse the night before games. And, as the eyes of the basketball world were fixed on James, Paul seemed to be ever in the periphery, partying with the Heat forward and signing with LeBron's management company. As a result of his connections (Anthony and Paul, as it turns out, also share an agent), Hornets fans had to chew their fingernails over rumors Paul might be traded. Paul was reported to be unhappy with the Hornets' declining record over the past few years, and there were also reports of clashes with former GM Jeff Bower. On July 12, the New York Post reported that Paul made a toast at Anthony's wedding saying that they, along with Amar'e Stoudemire of the New York Knicks, should "form our own Big 3" with the Knicks. Talk of players leaving teams and recruiting their friends to join them has been the dominant story of the NBA offseason. That pushed commissioner David Stern to send out a memo to all 32 teams reiterating the rules banning teams from reaching out to players under contract, specifically citing the Chris Paul rumors. That didn't stop Paul, though, as he demanded a trade the same day the Hornets hired a new GM. His departure and the Hornets' fall into obscurity seemed a real possibility. And yet none of that happened. While the focus was on Paul's demands to leave (and a collective New York sports media salivation at the possibility of a PaulAnthony-Stoudemire trio reviving the region's teams), Hornets president Hugh Weber pulled off what the San Antonio Spurs' Greg Popovich described as a "masterstroke" and hired Demps as general manager.

And while registering immediate success is vital to keep Paul, the Hornets are realistic about where they are as a franchise. At media day, forward David West said there are probably just four or five teams that can be considered in the "upper echelon of teams" -- and the Hornets are not in that number. "Guys want the opportunity to win," West said. "If you're going to beat those teams, you need some weapons." The Hornets' roster is mostly unproven, with more than half the players going to training camp sporting less than three seasons of NBA experience. Marcus Thornton showed flashes of brilliance in his rookie season, but will be expected to carry a heavier load to keep his starting role. And after him, only D.J. Strawberry, son of baseball star Darryl Strawberry, has averaged more than 12 minutes a game over his short career. The Hornets' veteran reserves are a problem. Twelve-year veteran Peja Stojacovic has seen his points per game drop steadily over the past four seasons, yet will earn a staggering $14 million this year. The next most productive reserve is Jannero Pargo, who was reacquired from the Chicago Bulls after he left the Hornets in the summer of 2008. Last year with Chicago, Pargo averaged 5.5 points and 13 minutes per game. Even Paul is a question mark after injuries limited him to a career-low 45 games last season. Paul insists he's 100 percent healthy, but Williams believes the point guard has been overused in the past and that by the end of the season, "he's running on fumes." Paul has averaged more than 36 minutes per game every season, and finding players that can share point guard duty will be crucial to the Hornets' success. And there's the biggest question mark. The Hornets have regressed every year since their run to the conference semi-finals three years ago, while CP3 has played himself into the ground. Now the players harbor no illusions of their place in the NBA. "We've got to get ourselves in the top-10-in-the-West discussion," West said. "It's going to take a lot of work to get there." Though Demps and Williams have quietly reshaped the franchise, only Ariza and Emeka Okafor have deals that go beyond the 2011-2012 season. Stojakovic's big payroll is off the books after this year and that means the Hornets have the potential -- and the bucks -- to acquire and cultivate quality talent. The Hornets have set themselves up as a young, athletic team with a solid starting five.

For his part, Williams is definitely eager to prove himself and halt the onslaught of questions about whether he can keep Chris Paul happy. "I'd much rather talk about basketball," Williams said in a rare moment alone on media day. "Unfortunately you have to an-swer every question you've been asked about the situation." A media horde descended on Williams and peppered him with more questions about Paul. Later, CP3 would face similar questions to which he mostly replied that he was ready to play and the behind-thescenes drama this summer wouldn't affect his effort. "I've always said any time I step onto the court, everything else falls out of my head," he said. Unfortunately, the question of whether Paul will be busting his butt for a contender or a doormat won't be answered until this team hits the hardwood at the New Orleans Arena; the first preseason game is Saturday, Oct. 9, against the Memphis Grizzlies, who are in the process of finding their own identity. And then, finally, we'll really have something to talk about.

After Hurricane Katrina, Poitevent and her brother took over the business and revamped the store's design at its new Magazine Street location. No longer a discount shoe outlet, the emporium stocks more than 50 brands of high-quality women's shoes, along with accessories ranging from jewelry and handbags to scarves and ties. The staff prides itself on first-rate customer service. "We are not so much concentrated on making the sale here and now," Poitevent says, "but rather establishing ... a lifetime customer by offering a memorable shopping experience that's upbeat, warm and welcoming." Poitevent wants the family-owned and operated boutique to garner Feet First carries a selection of "wow generations of customers. factor" shoes, like these bright cow"I want mothers to bring in their daughters and those daughters to bring theirs to pass boy boots. down the ... shopping experience we offer," she says. The store has doubled its size and expanded its offerings to include more upscale, novelty shoes -- what Poitevent terms "wow factor" shoes. Since 2005, the owners also have made a conscious effort to carry local designers. To stand out among other retailers, Feet First aims to provide shoes for every style. "From dressy to casual, simple to loud and flat to high for old and young -- our goal is to make it a challenge not to find something you like," Poitevent says. Shoes and other accessories are relatively low-budget ways to update a wardrobe, , Poitevent points out. "Since the economy has sunk, I try to carry shoes that are practical, but still edgy -- durable and versatile shoes with a day-to-night crossover," she says. As New Orleans' largest independent shoe and accessory retailer, Feet First is a one-stop shop for cost-effective accessories ranging from studded, buckled knee-high boots to feather-adorned satin clutches.

VAMPIRE WEEKEND WITH BEACH HOUSE 09 8 p.m. Saturday Mahalia Jackson Theater, 801 N. Rampart St., 525-1052; www.mahaliajacksontheater.com OCT Latin CELEBRATES GROWING HISPANIC CULTURES. Flair CARNIVAL LATINO BY KEN KORMAN istorians say Latin sounds first became a major ingredient in New Orleans music in 1884, when the 80-piece concert band of the 8th Mexican Cavalry -- which included musicians from all over the Caribbean and Latin America -- began a half-year residency at the "World's Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition" in Audubon Park. Now, more than a century later in post-Katrina New Orleans, the size of the local Latino population has finally begun to match that of its cultural influence. Recent studies have singled out the Hispanic community as the fastest growing ethnic group across Louisiana. So has the time finally come for a major festival of Latin culture in New Orleans, one that may someday rival the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival for international appeal to culture-loving tourists? The organizers of Carnaval Latino (Oct. 9-10) believe the annual celebration is poised for a major breakthrough. "We don't want to do just another neighborhood festival," says Carnaval Latino co-founder Romualdo "Romi" Rodriguez. "To help the city and to help our local Latino musicians, you've got to have this kind of large-scale festival. But it's a year-round project to sell this. It's not easy." Carnaval Latino began in 1989 and ran until 1995, when a number of new festivals were introduced across the region and sponsorship money became scarce. It was revived in 2007, in part because of the influx of Hispanics to the area. Now a presentation of the nonprofit Hispanic-American Musicians and Artists Cultural Association, Carnaval Latino finds its purpose in musical and culinary offerings that Texas' Los Lonely Boys headline Carnaval Latino. Baltimore duo Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally have emboldened their drowsy dream pop on each of three releases as Beach House, from the hazy, heavy-lidded memorials of 2006's self-titled debut to January revelation Teen Dream (Sub Pop), a blown-out synthetic orchestra looping Scally's swooning organs with Legrand's husky seductions. Vampire Weekend headlines. Tickets $37.50. H put a spotlight on the great variety of Latin cultures while appealing to both Hispanic and nonHispanic audiences. Headliners for this year's festival include chart-toppers Los Lonely Boys, which blends Texas rock and blues with Tejano music, and most significantly, Omara Portuondo, perhaps the most well-known living exponent of traditional Cuban music across the globe, thanks in part to her participation in the 1997 documentary film and album Buena Vista Social Club. Portuondo last appeared in New Orleans more than a decade ago with a concert at the Saenger Theatre. But her long absence was not by choice. "After George W. Bush came into power, all musical exchanges with Cuba were stopped," Rodriguez says. "Obama has relaxed these rules. In 1959, Havana was the number one trading partner for the city of New Orleans. Some have suggested that when they slammed that embargo on Cuba, they also slammed it on us. There's a real change in the air, and we're excited to be a part of it." Carnaval Latino presents 16 Latin bands on two stages. Local favorites include Latin dance bands Rumba Buena and Fredy Omar con Su Banda, and Afro-Cuban jazz purveyors Otra.

So opens a revealing behindthe-scenes video of the making of Libraries, the sophomore album from Durham, N.C.'s The Love Language, released on Merge Records in July. Where many artists guard the sanctity of the recording process like a nest, McLamb invited cameras into friend B.J. Burton's studio to capture his capturing of The Love Language's leap from lo-fi bedroom project to grand-sounding rock band. The intimate short film shows McLamb and Burton laying down guitar, drum and vocal tracks and discussing possible mixes in between childlike breaks for slap shots and sledding. "We were in the middle of the album at that point," McLamb recalls. "We were together for almost two months straight, recording like every hour of every day." "It was a bunch of overnight sessions," Burton says. "During the day we would just kind of hang out and talk about music and the album." The fruit of those wintry all-nighters is a richly produced LP, summery in its lush '60s pop sheen but autumnal in subtextual tone. As on his eponymous 2009 debut, a vigorously cathartic breakup record written for an ex, McLamb sings of familiar mope tropes: changing seasons, fleeting feelings, loves he's actively losing. But Libraries' ambitions are clear from the start. "Pedals," the album's heftiest arrangement, crashes like a tidal wave 40 seconds in, a rip tide of breathcatching strings, Phil Spector-borrowed drum hits and yearning Morrissey vocals yielding an immediate rush. That mic mastery is perhaps The Love Language's greatest transmutation between albums; a distortion-masked yelper before, here McLamb stretches octaves like Patsy Cline ("This Blood is Our Own") and coaxes serenades like Roy Orbison ("Summer Dust"). "I was dealing with a lot of the same themes," he says. "The difference is, on the first record, I would've probably recorded the next day on a shitty eighttrack I had. There was an immediacy to that album on how quickly the songs OCT Stuart McLamb sings for Durham, N.C.'s The Love Language. were documented after conception. On Libraries, I spent about a year writing the songs and making demos, and it was recorded in a month and a half. At the time of recording, my thoughts were more into the sounds; I was removed from the emotions a little bit. It was more about the sonics on this record." The sound changed dramatically from the spare demos McLamb first brought in, Burton says. "As we were laying stuff down, it would trigger new ideas and we would embellish them," he says "`Pedals' turned real shoegaze-y, with atmospheric guitars and reverb. Then we had the strings come in, and we kept rolling with it. We were excited about how big it sounded, new and fresh, experimenting with a big landscape of sound." McLamb credits Burton with realizing his visions both in the studio and onstage, where the producer has joined the band as a regular guitarist. "I had ideas about how it needed to sound, but I didn't have the engineering expertise," he says. "I explained what I wanted and he nailed the sound. In the live setting, he's been great for understanding nerdy shit like (room) sonics and EQ-ing our amps so everything sits at a good level. I'm dependent on him. If you watch me at sound check, I'm going to plug in my pedals, turn on my amp, play some shit and look right at B.J. and be like, `Sound cool? All right.'" ELECTRONIC DJS SMASHING BLONDE 542 S.

As Eastern European originators in American independent music go, the Lower East Side Manhattan gypsy punks are Ellis Island: mustachioed Ukrainian frontman Eugene H�tz, shirtless and sweat-slick, the embodiment of vodka-fueled Slavic mania; his eight-deep contingent, a powder keg of sawedoff klezmer fiddles and Russki-reggae accordion plunges. Fifth album Trans-Continental Hustle, released in April, is most informed by two factors: H�tz's move to Brazil in 2008 (broadening an already transcontinental sound), and the band's move to super-producer Rick Rubin's American Recordings imprint (amping up the guitars and refining the grit, for better or worse, on its abrasive, sandpapery finish). Gypsyphonic Disko and Outernational open.

McClements, who plays with both groups, similarly vacillates between forlorn gypsy jazz and big-band folk rock, seamlessly changing outfits and countries like a foreign diplomat but never losing the local signifiers imparted by a sousaphone's anchor and a second line's stutter.

Stored for decades in Tulane's Dinwiddie Hall, it was available only to researchers, which is how Cristin Nunez, a graduate student at the time, came upon it while researching her thesis. Serendipitously, she also was interning with New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA) curator Paul Tarver, and one thing led to another. While these 150 Navajo and Pueblo artifacts are mostly what one might expect in a Southwest Indian collection, they are enhanced by the effective use of 140 photographs, some taken by ethnologist George Pepper and his associates, depicting the natives of what was still a remote and exotic land a century ago. When the camera was turned on them, it revealed motley characters not unlike Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. But the most dramatic are the hand-tinted magic lantern slides taken by the itinerant bicycle-riding photographer, Sumner Matteson. Rendered as large prints of ceremonies like the Hopi snake ritual, including a rain dance with live rattlesnakes, they bring the show to life and underscore its otherworldly mystique. Pepper also produced tinted lantern slides, the 19th century's version of digital images, and his Snake Priest (pictured) was described as "hurrying" because his "captive was restive." The snake ritual itself featured painted warriors clutching rattlesnakes in their teeth, as seen in Matteson's dramatic Hopi Maidens Blessing Dancers, Snake Dance Ceremony, and it is actually his photographs that provide the more complete picture of Hopi and other Pueblo Indian life and their close relationship with the mesas where they built their settlements. Pepper did pioneering work among the Navajo, and his portraits of them offer insight into a very different culture, while providing counterpoint to the mysterious Hopi who, then as now, tended to steal the show. -- D.

While the concept at Le Meritage is wine pairings suggested for each course, Bistreaux has a more conventional approach and casual vibe.

MIDDENDORF'S SEAFOOD RESTAURANT 30160 HWY. 51, AKERS, (985) 386-6666 www.middendorfsrestaurant.com Mondeaux B Y I A N M C N U LT Y SUSAN SPICER THINKS GLOBALLY, COOKS LOCALLY. hef Susan Spicer intended her new Lakeview restaurant Mondo to be a casual neighborhood place, but she's following her own eclectic tastes to make sure it's far from the local norm. Working with chef du cuisine Cindy Crosbie and sous chef Paul Schel, she's created a unique mix of updated Louisiana standards and dishes from all corners of the world, as referenced in the restaurant's Italian name. At first, this approach seemed aimless. On an initial visit, a round of appetizers filled our table with an international jumble: hot and sour soup, melted Gorgonzola spread on ciabatta toast, buckwheat noodles in peanut sauce and a plate of darkly fried hominy, a bar snack that here is akin to CornNuts in need of salt. But as we progressed -- to the braised duck leg with Chinese seasoning; smoky, Latin-style pork roast; small, deftly done lamb T-bones; and baked polenta covered with spinach and garlic -- the meal became an unfettered romp of creatively wrought comfort food. After a few visits, we regarded a sequence moving from ceviche to homey roasted chicken to a flan-like, fruit-covered flaugnarde crepe as the unorthodox but expected Mondo meal. Spicer practices some of this genre jumping at Bayona, her first and far more ambitious restaurant. But Mondo is not the Bayona of Lakeview, and those who come here expecting that are bound to be disappointed. This is a family-oriented place with a kids' menu. The attractive bar and dining At Mondo, chef Susan Spicer and her staff get creative with a wide array of cuisines. PHOTO BY CHERYL GERBER A special menu features German dishes every Wednesday and Thursday until Nov. 11. VEGA TAPAS CAFE 2051 METAIRIE ROAD, METAIRIE, 836-2007 www.vegatapascafe.com C room are finished with lots of bare wood and calming colors, though both spaces get very loud when Mondo is crowded. This is a weeknight restaurant or a spot for Friday dinner when you're not up for a momentous event. It's difficult to coordinate any particular cravings with such a global selection. But the care and creativity on the moderately priced menu are plain to see, and that's Mondo's real appeal. For instance, mint pepper jelly seemed to ooze from the broiled, herbaceous meat of the lamb mentioned above. My favorite dish is the redfish with "muddy waters" sauce, a tribute to the long-gone Uglesich's Restaurant. The sauce has the look and texture of a thick meuniere, but gets salty zing from discreet additions of anchovy and jalapeno. A wood oven visible from the dining room issues small pizzas with interesting toppings like rapini or salami made locally at Butcher. The dough has good character, too. It's chewy yet light, though I like my pies crisper and more bubbled than these have been. Spicer's cooks use the oven to slow-roast pork, so while Lakeview sleeps, the makings for the brunch menu's excellent pork migas take shape. Portions are modest for most dishes, which is another way Mondo differs from traditional neighborhood restaurants. I wouldn't expect leftovers here, but I do count on more creative comfort cooking when I inevitably return to this exciting new place. A monthlong "Fiesta Octobre" menu features German dishes served tapas style.
