“Some interesting things to consider when making a decision on a vehicle.....

Does your dealership open early at 7 am for service and is even open on Saturdays???

Do they wash your vehicle every time it’s serviced?

Is there a complimentary shuttle service? Or even loaner vehicles?

And…. My favorite…. When you arrive you know there are always complimentary refreshments for customers?

This dedication to customer satisfaction can always be found at”……

Paula and the Pontiacs perform at a benefit to help reopen Jimmy’s Music Club on April 4, 2013.

The legendary Jimmy’s Music Club may be on its way back to presenting live music, but first it needs to satisfy the Alcohol Control Board, City Council and its Uptown neighbors.

W

hen the New Orleans Alcoholic Beverage Control Board (ABO) rejected a request by Jimmy’s Music Club May 21, it may have seemed like the hand of The Man slapping down the former punk rock haven once again.

The reality, however, is that attorneys, city officials and even the club’s neighbors agree that Jimmy’s may be closer to reopening than it has been in the last year.

Technically, club owner Jimmy Anselmo and his partners in Lucky Tab LLC were requesting last week to appeal the denial last year of their application for a liquor license. Their argument — an unusual one — was that when liquor license applications are denied, they must be appealed to the city’s independent Alcohol Control Board. And because the basis for that denial was a moratorium preventing any new businesses from selling alcohol in the Carrollton area without permission of the New Orleans City Council, Anselmo was essentially asking the board to declare the City Council’s moratorium illegal.

The board — made of council appointees — was, unsurprisingly, having none of it. For months, commissioners have said for months that Jimmy’s had two options — appeal the moratorium to the council like other new Carrollton businesses have done, or file a lawsuit against the moratorium in Civil District Court.

“This board does not have the power to say that something the City Council did is illegal or unconstitutional,” said board member Jerry Speir, a Carrollton resident appointed by District A Councilwoman Susan Guidry. Keeping the Jimmy’s item before the alcohol board simply confuses the public, Speir said: “There is nothing to be gained in my opinion from keeping this on our docket.”

With that, the board members voted Jimmy’s off the docket page 9

was sentenced recently to 57 months in prison by U.S. District Court Judge Lance Africk for providing fraudulent waste safety training following the BP oil disaster. In January, Knight pleaded guilty to three felony criminal charges and one misdemeanor criminal charge for creating false identification documents and impersonating an Occupational Safety and Health Administration hazardous waste safety instructor. Knight collected cash primarily from fishermen trying to help cleanup efforts.

and out of the room, without so much as a comment from Anselmo himself or the dozen or so supporters he brought with him.

This time around, however, something was different. Prior to the hearing Anselmo, his partners and attorney Michael Tifft had spent about an hour outside the council chambers in private conference with city attorneys. Tifft said they were advising the Jimmy’s team to pursue a traditional appeal of the alcohol moratorium through the City Planning Commission and City Council.

“That was the first real breakthrough we got from City Hall,” Tifft said afterward. “I see it as a risky process, but they did indicate that the mayor’s office is committed to seeing us through the process.”

Another tentative “breakthrough” has been with the Carrollton Riverbend Neighborhood Association (CRNA). Anselmo met personally with association members in February and several of its leaders reminisced about their own days at the original Jimmy’s Music Club. Their main concern is that Jimmy’s does not become a repeat of the Frat House bar; Anselmo leased the space to that club for about five years until it closed in 2012 following neighborhood complaints and charges of underage drinking.

“CRNA and the neighbors support Jimmy’s reopening — if it’s done right,” said Jill Stephens, an association member leading nearby residents in discussions with Jimmy’s about a good-neighbor agreement. “We just want the problems that existed at the Frat House to never happen again. Since the property is owned by the same person, we have no comfort that they wouldn’t happen again.

The memory of that is still fresh.”

The negotiations thus far have centered on Jimmy’s responsibility for outside litter, noise from the bands and patrons’ conduct outside the bar. But one sticking point has emerged — whether to allow customers younger than 21 inside the bar to hear music.

In order to book bands that draw an audience from the nearby universities, Jimmy’s needs to be able to admit customers age 18 and older, Tifft said. He said he met his future wife outside the original Jimmy’s — he was 18, she was 17 and she was left standing outside because she was too young to go in.

Neighbors say those youngest patrons tend to cause the most problems, however, so restricting the bar to people of legal drinking age will help the neighborhood get behind the club. (It’s unclear if the club could open as an all-ages venue, but Tifft says Anselmo doesn’t want to, anyway.)

“If we can close that gap, we’ll be very close to a solution,” Stephens said.

If Jimmy’s pursues an appeal, the City Planning Commission will weigh it first, and then it will go to the City Council. Guidry — the target of Jimmy’s supporters’ ire since proposing the moratorium — declined to say what she would do at that point, but signaled that the neighborhood’s support would be crucial. “If a developer or a business owner can work things out with the neighborhood, including the near neighbors, that always creates a more positive path to whatever the business is requesting,” Guidry said.

The City Council already has a pending ordinance, proposed

by Council President Jackie Clarkson, to make all bars in the city 21-and-up — a proposal that has been docked in the criminal justice committee for months. Guidry said she actually doesn’t favor the blanket approach in Clarkson’s ordinance, but that individual circumstances must be considered — as in the case of Jimmy’s.

“Of course that’s something we’ll be looking at carefully,” Guidry said. “This same owner allowed a nuisance bar to operate at that location that these neighbors had to deal with from 2007 to 2012.

A lot of the problem was underage drinking.”

If the City Council route ultimately fails, Jimmy’s still has one other option: sue over the legality of the moratorium. And that path was served by the alcohol board’s rejection, Tifft said — based on city code, the alcohol board had to rule before he could turn to the courts.

“On one hand, we lost at the ABO board,” Tifft said. “On the other hand, we’re free to sue if we want to.”

Plasmatics The New Orleans music community and friends respond to a blood drive to replenish supplies used when 19 people were shot at a Mother’s Day secondline parade.

811 Conti St.

Monday-Sunday 10am-6am 523-8619 • erinrosebar.com

By Kevin Allman

Janine Waters, left, and Christie Jourdain of the Original Pinettes Brass Band showed up to give blood at the “Frenchmen Street: Roll Up Your Sleeves” event put on by the New Orleans Musicians’ Assistance Foundation and The Blood Center.

The clubs on Frenchmen Street were open, with Ben Polcer playing at the Spotted Cat and the Washboard Chaz Trio at d.b.a., along with other bands. Jeff Broussard, bar manager at Snug Harbor, donated ice and opened the club’s bathrooms.

“I was worried the rain would keep people away,” said Liz Freeman, a volunteer with the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic, “but it’s not. This is great.”

After the jab, donors with “I Gave Blood” stickers on their shirts received free Radiators CDs and restorative snacks and juice. The goal of 50 pints was reached and topped within the first two hours of the drive, according to Dudas. And neither threatening gray skies nor a swarm of Formosan termites kept people from donating. By the end of the evening, 117 pints of blood had been collected by eight volunteer nurses, and nearly 200 people had tried to donate, according to The Blood Center.

“This is definitely the best blood drive I’ve been to,” said Jocelyn Ninneman of OffBeat magazine, one of the event’s sponsors. “Only in New Orleans could you have a blood drive that has three areas of live music and local food.”

Chittenden, of The Blood Center, said she wasn’t sure how much blood would be needed to replenish the amount used by the shooting victims, but that the “replenishment” was largely symbolic. The Blood Center is called upon to donate 300 to 350 pints of blood per day to New Orleans hospitals, Chittenden said, adding, “In cases like this, people want a way to help and we provide it.”

wo enormous bloodmobiles — one in neon chartreuse, the other, well, blood-red — stretched down Frenchmen Street from the Apple Barrel to the Spotted Cat May 22. The event was called “Frenchmen Street: Roll Up Your Sleeves,” and it was a replacement blood drive for the 19 victims of the Mother’s Day second-line shooting in the 7th Ward — a shooting that had occurred seven blocks away down Frenchmen Street May 12.

More than 100 people preregistered to give blood between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m., according to Amanda Chittenden, The Blood Center’s public relations manager.

“But the first 12 people we got were all walkups,” said Erica Dudas of the New Orleans Musicians’ Assistance Foundation, the group that staged the blood drive.

The event — held in the concrete pad that’s home to the Frenchmen Art Market — was busy from the start, with would-be donors lining up and musicians David and Roselyn serenading the crowd with a song appropriately called “Kiss It and Make It Better.”

“New Orleans has given us a lot,” Roselyn said.

“Helping other musicians is just what you do.”

Among the first donors were Janine Waters and Christie Jourdain of the Original Pinettes Brass Band, who said they’d heard about the drive on Facebook and TV news. Both are friends of second-line chronicler and Gambit contributor Deborah Cotton and said they showed up in tribute to her. Cherice HarrisonNelson (“Queen Reesie”) of Guardians of the Flame and Queen Rita Johnson of the Mohawk Hunters also came out to donate, as did Ed Buckner of the Original Big 7 Social Aid & Pleasure Club, which had staged the Mother’s Day second line.

’tis the season

3619 S. Carrollton Ave. • New Orleans, LA 70118 504-488-1364 • www.modernflooring.net

ast week’s horrific tornado, which killed 24 people in Moore, Okla., served as a reminder that the southern United States is in its severe weather season. For those of us who remember the scenes following Hurricane Katrina and the federal floods nearly eight years ago, the televised images of destruction, despair and hopelessness were all too familiar. Sadly, the people who live around Oklahoma City had been there before — in 1999, when a tornado outbreak killed dozens of people and devastated Moore. There’s not much you can do when a twister of that magnitude is bearing down on your house, but preparation can and does save lives.

This week is the National Hurricane Center’s (NHC) annual Hurricane Preparedness Week, and longtime New Orleans residents know that means it’s the time for an annual review of hurricane readiness preps. The many people who have moved to New Orleans in recent years should remember that a hurricane’s intensity on the Saffir-Simpson scale is a relative thing. A strong tropical storm

per day, with a three-day minimum. Some people fill their bathtubs to ensure a water supply. Other essentials include a tool kit, medicines, fire extinguisher, large garbage bags, a change of clothes and shoes. Keep some cash on hand.

For people with small children, a supply of diapers and toys is a must (and an iPad or DVD player with headphones can be a sanity saver). Pet owners need a supply of food, a carrier and proof of up-to-date vaccinations. Find out if your shelter of choice takes pets — but under no circumstances stay put during an evacuation because you aren’t sure what to do with your pets. Get out and take them with you.

Keep your car gassed up from June through November. Get your car inspected in early June and be sure to change the wiper blades. A container of wet wipes in the car is a good idea, along with a trash bag; evacuations are long and it’s not always possible to leave your vehicle.

If you evacuate, take important papers (including insurance information) as well as family photos — many of us learned that one the hard way during Katrina.

requires as much attention and preparation as a major hurricane. Last year’s slow-moving, rain-soaked Isaac was a tropical storm, yet many people in metro New Orleans were left without power for a week.

William Gray of the Colorado State University Department of Atmospheric Science is predicting a slightly busierthan-average hurricane season, with 18 named storms and nine hurricanes. Our mild spring has nothing to do with what New Orleans may or may not see this year in the way of tropical events.

“Many hurricane forecasters are predicting this to be an above-average season,” says WWL-TV meteorologist Derek Kevra. “A lot of the time, people think a cool spring like the one we just had means the water in the Gulf of Mexico is going to be cooler, but that is not the case.

It has no bearing on hurricane season.”

This is the time for locals to check on stockpiled supplies, replenishing and replacing as necessary. Get fresh packs of batteries for flashlights and batterypowered radios or TVs; eat the canned goods you’ve stocked and replace them with new ones. (Don’t forget the manual can opener.) Stock up on bottled water for drinking as well as washing — the guideline is at least 1 gallon per person

And put a spare cellphone charger in the car now — we relearned that lesson last year during the blackouts after Isaac.

Check with elderly or infirm neighbors to verify their evacuation plans. In a mandatory evacuation, freeways will switch to “contraflow,” meaning all roads will lead away from the coast. Whether you’re going to a motel, staying with family or at a shelter, practice patience — and plan ahead.

You can get more tips and sign up for text alerts at the City of New Orleans hurricane preparedness website, ready. nola.gov (which performed well last year) as well as at the Entergy New Orleans’ website (www.entergy.com). And the NHC has issued an updated guide to preparing for hurricanes; download yours at www. bit.ly/prepare2013.

Most important, pay attention to local meteorologists so you can plan early — and if you’re told to leave, do so.

jeremy alford report from red stick

Howdy Doody time If and when a budget passes, Gov. Bobby Jindal may very well blame lawmakers for sending him a terrible document. a few lawmakers may in turn blame Jindal for introducing one. But not all legislators will challenge the governor. They’ve heard of Barham’s Siberia and they are in no hurry to visit. Senate chairmen and vice chairmen were called into meetings last week and likely will fall in line, along with their colleagues in the Upper Chamber, where Howdy doody time was first recognized for its political benefits.

These are troubling political times that don’t relate well in the self-celebrity world of social media, where Googling “Howdy doody” and posting a few videos takes less effort than typing “Jindal health care budget” and reading for an hour or two.

Back in the real world, the health care issue has become fueled by unexpected and increasing costs related to the administration’s ideology-driven push to privatize public hospitals and to refuse Medicaid expansion. Education is being funded with change found under sofa cushions while the courts overturn one administration program after another.

Jindal’s failed tax plan, which was supposed to be the session’s focus, was probably the biggest Howdy doody of the year. It sidetracked everybody.

Most lawmakers focused on Jindal’s sideshow instead of the ailing budget, although the House appropriations Committee met for weeks before the session convened april 8. More lawmakers should have joined them. finally, we’re all Howdy doodies for not getting more riled up. distractions are easier to swallow than policy and budget numbers.

The distractions may be even more welcome in coming years, when the state runs out of dedicated funds to plunder in order to prop up higher education and health care. a speech from the strawberry queen will be a nice respite from the debt that’s stacking up. a bill declaring Bayou Pigeon the official garfish capital just might one day be enough to soothe nerves in the face of increased outmigration.

We’ll practically need around-theclock Howdy doody, which, if Google is to be trusted, was nothing more than a marionette — and a fitting metaphor for louisiana lawmakers. We all know who pulls their strings.

ew things were more comical than former state Sen. Joe McPherson at his most frustrated. a self-described country boy with a shock of salt-and-pepper hair and a push-broom mustache, McPherson hails from Woodworth, a community of roughly 1,000 people just south of alexandria. He returned there after terming out in 2012.

When the Upper Chamber would stumble into its afternoon routine, pausing so members could introduce the louisiana Swine festival queen or their insurance agent’s cousin from dry Creek, McPherson eventually would make his way to the mic. “Heeeerrreee we go,” he would twang. “It’s Howdy doody time!” a graduate of the rural acting academy, he motioned in one speech to the sides of the chamber. “Howdy doody to you and Howdy doody to you. Howdy doody to everybody!”

McPherson was funny even when scolding colleagues for wasting time.

(He wasn’t above it all; in questioning another’s use of time, he once paid for and distributed bumper stickers emblazoned with “Jindal for V.P.”) another comedic complainer was former Sen. robert Barham, now secretary of the department of Wildlife and fisheries. Barham had caught the fury of former Gov. Kathleen Blanco for switching parties, and he spent his final years noting the topography, temperature and political climate of Siberia, where he claimed the “Queen Bee” had exiled him. although he halfheartedly tried and failed, McPherson couldn’t end the timehonored practice of senators indulging in a little Howdy doody time. If anything, it has expanded in his absence. lawmakers in this year’s abbreviated session (which ends June 6) have already competed against each other in a football game, a basketball matchup and a bowling tournament. all proceeds went to charity, but some might argue that their time and effort was borrowed from taxpayers.

They’ve advanced bills creating a barbecue cook-off for West Baton rouge, exploring bass fishing as a new high school sport, adding “I’m a Cajun” to louisiana-issued identification cards and slating money for film festivals.

Not that there’s anything shameful about these competitions and causes.

They’re a part of the legislative process and our collective culture. Yet they’re hard to swallow when, in the final two weeks of the session, there’s no making sense of the budget, which ignores the long-term funding needs of higher education and health care.

DEAR ABBY, The Old U. S. Mint, designed by architect William Strickland of Philadelphia, was built on the site of Fort St. Charles, and is the only mint to produce both American and Confederate coins. Built in Classic Revival style, the structure cost $180,000 and opened in 1838.

Its walls range from 18 inches to 3 feet thick, and it is constructed of river mud brick and stucco with granite trim.

The mint was authorized on March 3, 1835, and President Andrew Jackson, hero of the Battle of New Orleans, signed the bill. Yellow fever, other illnesses and delays prevented the facility from opening until 1838.

The mint was transferred to the Confederacy when Louisiana seceded from the Union in 1861, and it produced Confederate coins and housed troops.

Operations halted in April 1862, however, when federal troops occupied New Orleans and, on the morning of April 25, raised an American flag in front of the mint. Professional gambler William Mumford quickly tore down the flag, dragged it through the streets and shredded it, for which he was court-martialed and publicly executed by hanging from a flagstaff on the mint.

Coining operations were suspended from 1862 to 1879, but during that time the mint served as an assay office, where metals are tested for purity. The mint resumed making coins in 1879, the only

Southern mint to do so. Minting ceased in 1909.

During its years of operation, the Old U.S. Mint produced more than 427 million gold and silver coins with a value of more than $307 million.

From 1909 until 1932, the building housed an assay office, then it had a new role: federal prison, which lasted until 1942. The following year, it housed members of the U. S. Coast Guard, and for a while after World War II, it was used as a storage facility.

In 1966, ownership of the Old U.S. Mint was transferred to the state. The building was completely renovated and reopened to the public in 1983 as a state museum. It is a National Historic Landmark and the oldest surviving structure in the country that served as a federal mint.

The New Orleans mintmark is an “O” at the bottom of the back of the coin. If you can find one, the 1838 O half-dollar could be worth a lot of money. The New Orleans mint struck just 20 in proof format, most likely to commemorate the facility’s opening. Of historical note: The coins were the first half-dollars to be struck at a branch mint, and one of the earliest U.S. coins to include a mintmark.

The building currently is home to the Louisiana Historical Center, The New Orleans Jazz Club Collections of the Louisiana State Museum and a performing arts center. The tents you see from time to time are set up for both private and public events, including free music concerts and film screenings.

The bottom line is simple: The Common Core is not being forced on Louisiana by the federal government; it’s not a national takeover of public education; and it doesn’t threaten Louisiana’s sovereignty.

Safeguards need to be in place to ensure it is implemented appropriately and that student privacy rights are protected. But Louisiana also needs to move forward.

he Louisiana Senate struck a blow for educational standards and improvement last week. It did so by summarily defeating a resolution requesting the state Department of Education and the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) to cease implementation of the Common Core State Standards Initiative in public education.

The topic of educational standards may sound boring, but the resolution elicited more than two hours of sometimes surreal testimony in the Senate Education Committee.

So what is the Common Core initiative?

It’s a voluntary program launched by the National Governors Association in 2009 that 45 states — including Louisiana — have joined thus far. The goal is to align educational standards across the country to provide a clear understanding of what students should know and be able to do at various stages of their development.

It’s not a standard curriculum, and it doesn’t tell teachers how to teach or how to run their classrooms. It’s simply a set of standards that suggests, for example, what types of math equations a student in fifth grade should be able to perform or at what level a sixth grader should be able to read and comprehend. The standards set a level of rigor for students that has been lacking in Louisiana. They’re designed to prepare students for the real world in a way that’s relevant and reflects the knowledge and skills they’ll need to succeed in college and beyond.

Listening to some of the debate, you might have thought it was part of a plot to undermine the youth of Louisiana.

The words “communism” and “socialism” were tossed around, along with the suggestion of a federal plot to control curricula.

Fortunately, there was also testimony from educators who are implementing the Common Core standards. They praised it for its rigor, saying it will help raise student achievement in Louisiana and give us a better indication of how our students perform compared to those in other states.

The Council for A Better Louisiana (CABL) supports Louisiana’s ongoing implementation of the Common Core. We do so for a variety of reasons that we think make common sense: • Louisiana’s previous standards and LEAP tests were developed 16 years ago and were right for the time. Although we have raised our standards, they are still lower than national standards. This is evident when you look at the performance of Louisiana students on the state LEAP tests compared to the national NAEP assessment. Louisiana’s minimum is not enough.

• The world’s economy constantly changes. Our kids need to know more to

his has been the loneliest experience in the world.”

Jerry DeWitt sighs. After a whirlwind year of renouncing his faith along with his 25 years in the Pentecostal ministry and discussing it in a New York Times profile, the former minister nurses the flu at his home in DeRidder, La. In a few weeks his memoir, Hope After Faith, will be released.

“It’s so ironic that it borders on being tragic,” he says, “that this once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon can happen and there’s literally nobody to celebrate it with.”

DeWitt still looks and sounds like a Louisiana preacher. His black hair is often pulled back high and tight and neatly parted, framing a round face and a trim beard. He speaks with a warm Southern lilt. During the last year, however, he has emerged as something of an atheist leader. It’s cost him a lot, he says — respect from the town he loves, as well as his friends, his job and his family.

“Normally, if a story about you ended up in the New York Times, or if you ended up with a book deal, it would be cause for Louisiana-style celebration,” he says. “I think that’s the reason why I’m so bent, so determined, to make Louisiana proud. I’m determined to create a secular community in a Louisiana way.”

Born into a family of ministers in neighboring Rosepine, DeWitt spent most of his life in DeRidder in Beauregard Parish. DeWitt’s grandfather helped build churches throughout Louisiana. A couple of miles down the road is the church of his grandmother, the “Pentecostal religious matriarch” of the DeWitt family. Less than a mile in the other direction is Grace Church, where DeWitt spent the latter half of his ministry. From a young age, DeWitt was expected to follow the family mold.

“The Pentecostals who raised me were not community activists. They weren’t involved in trying to shape policy, or in larger charitable acts or anything like that,” he says. “We were pretty exclusionary. … It was the only avenue, only profession, only method that existed in my world of trying to make peoples’ lives better.”

In 1986, at age 16, DeWitt visited Jimmy Swaggart’s megachurch in Baton Rouge, where he was “saved.” At 17, he joined the ministry, delivering passionate sermons to congregations along the Gulf South.

felt like I was in this position to say to people, ‘Y’all come and meet me where I’m at.’ Instead I always felt like I was trying to help them on their own path. Even now, I don’t go out and try to de-convert people from Christianity. I don’t post things (on the Internet) with intentions of trying to shake people’s faith. I’m still a pastor. I try to help people where they’re at, and very much allow them to figure out where they’re going.”

“I’m still a pastor. I try to help people where they’re at, and very much allow them to figure out where they’re going.”

After a few months of dating, he married Kelly Lee Swain. He was 20; she was 18. Two years later, the couple had a son. The family preached together throughout the South. In those few short years, DeWitt became a rising star in the Pentecostal community.

“But I really wasn’t that great of a Christian evangelist, because my heart was always just checking in trying to deal with where I was at — spiritually, intellectually, doctrinally,” he says. “I guess because there was always a certain amount of uncertainty in my own life. I never

“These become priorities that outweigh starvation, the climate, any other form of life enrichment that a humanist would naturally be concerned with,” he says.

“What difference does it make to end hunger if all those people go to hell with full bellies? All of a sudden my humanism had been hijacked with this idea of eternal punishment and salvation. … Those people, I’ve lived in their homes, I’ve ridden in the car with them for hours, I feel like I know so many of their hearts.

“I grew up thinking that one day I’ll get old enough and all the fun will be over, and I’ll submit myself to the Lord,” he says. “Then suddenly hell became my responsibility. It became my obligation to warn these people I loved in the congregation that their actions could condemn them to hell for all eternity. Somewhere in the midst of that, somewhere the formulas didn’t seem to add up. I thought, ‘Is it really true that the creator of the universe would send a young lady to hell for all eternity because she felt peer pressure at school and trimmed her bangs?’”

Late one night, while searching on the Internet, DeWitt found online communities of ministers who also questioned their doctrines and faiths.

He joined The Clergy Project, an anonymous online refuge for clergy members who no longer believe in God. He also reached out to Recovering From Religion, a postclergy support group.

“Once the Bible itself begins to lose its divinity, before long everything is on the table,” he says. “Once you begin to question our traditions, you eventually question your superstitions.”

DeWitt delivered his last sermon in April 2011.

DeWitt changed his Facebook religious views to “secular humanist.”

they’re humanists who have been hijacked by antiquated theology.”

DeWitt served as DeRidder’s code enforcement officer from 1998 to 2004, when he began preaching full time. He resumed working for the city of DeRidder in 2006 as director of community services. He never truly left the ministry — city officials knew it was good business to keep a religious figure close to City Hall.

“The preachers are still the kingmakers and they’re able to make or break you,” he says. “Why be the tribal leader when you can be the shaman?”

In a 2009 story from the Beauregard Daily News, DeWitt is described as “an avid reader. His preferences are history, nonfictions — especially about sociology and religion. He’s also a self-proclaimed Internet junkie. When a city is as intent on improvement as DeRidder is, it takes a certain type of person to do the job. DeRidder is lucky to have … such men working for its citizens.”

He had a natural rapport with the ministers, but DeWitt’s secular job forced him to work alongside different denominations and philosophies.

Then the doubts crept in. DeWitt felt trapped, but his flock was satisfied with his public message despite his private concerns.

y reevaluations of what had been the most cherished moments in my life of faith — my conversations with God — were both energizing and enervating. I was feeling more in control of my life — particularly when it came to the panic attacks that were plaguing me — yet I believed that I could have a deep, intimate relationship with God. When a minster named Charles Pierce, who had a reputation within the United Pentecostal movement for presiding over a healing ministry without peer, held a revival at the United Pentecostal Church in Leesville, I felt that I had to attend to revalidate what I had experienced in my revival days. Arriving at the United Pentecostal Church on a cool Sunday morning in the early spring of 1999, I took in its tall, cathedral ceilings, white molding, and color-coordinated pews and carpet with a mix of disdain and envy. Its clean, sparse design reminded me of a funeral home and I had long felt whenever I walked into expensively decorated sanctuaries that it was wasteful of the Lord’s money. At the same time, I was envious — and desperately wanted to be a part of — the upper class of Pentecostalism and could be just as harsh in judgments when I visited a poor church with an old, staticky sound system or an unpaved parking lot.

But when Brother Pierce, a slender, square-shouldered, middle-aged minister who wore a clean white suit, began the service and ministered to the congregants individually, I was far from impressed. Brother Pierce addressed churchgoers with a very vague and general diagnosis of their problems — Sister, are you feeling ill? Brother, are you dissatisfied with your job? — and he ministered from the distance of the stage, which only added an even more impersonal feel to the proceedings.

About halfway through the service, however, Brother Pierce walked down the small set of stairs from the stage and into the aisles. To my horror, it seemed as though he was walking directly toward me. God is using Brother Pierce to chastise me, I thought nervously to myself, about just how doubtful I had become and how far I had moved from my Evangelizing days.

To my great relief, Brother Pierce passed by my seat to focus on a slender man in his early sixties with scraggly facial hair who was seated in a pew behind me. The man had a disheveled look about him and he wore a tattered suit jacket that appeared to be about 30 years old with threads poking out from it. There were deep stress lines in his face — he was, as the saying goes, rode hard and put away wet. When Brother Pierce stood three feet away from the man, he asked him to stand up. The man rose from the pews and stood silently before Brother Pierce.

“Let’s talk about your relationship with God,” Brother Pierce said. “I know that you’ve been closer to God than you are now.”

The man nodded his head in agreement. “Yes, Brother Pierce,” he murmured. “I know that you’ve had habits, that you’ve gone to smoking,” Brother Pierce continued, bringing another nod of

the head from the man and another “yes.” An intensely serious look came over Brother Pierce’s face. “Yes, indeed, you have gone to smoking. And you are smoking… Pall Malls.” Just then, the man’s eyes became as big as saucers. He opened his well-worn suit jacket with his right hand, rustled through an inside pocket and thrust out a pack of Pall Malls for Brother Pierce and the church to behold, bringing an ecstatic Ahhhhhh! which rose from the congregation and echoed throughout the sanctuary. In those first few seconds after the Pall Malls revelation, I felt that I should get on my knees right then and there and pray and perhaps even bow before God. But as the worshipper slid the Pall Malls back into his rumpled suit pocket, I grew suspicious of Brother Pierce’s ministering even though a part of me was shouting, screaming, and berating the naysayer inside of me, “Move on!”

Steadying my nerves, I realized that what had unsettled me about Brother Pierce was that his ministering seemed all too much like a parlor trick — this was far from the personal dialogue with God that I had been seeking when I attended the revival. Belief, I thought to myself then, had to be larger and greater in spirit than a magic trick.

My feelings about Brother Pierce, unfortunately, did not dissuade my family members from seeking out his healing ministry. Just a few days after the services at United Pentecostal Church in Leesville, Brother Pierce brought his revival to the First United Pentecostal Church — known simply as “First Church” — in DeRidder. My mother took my sister, Britney, to the revival in hopes that Brother Pierce would heal her of her Down’s syndrome. I remember thinking that the idea of Brother Pierce healing Britney was ridiculous because I did not see Britney as being ill — I saw her as genetically different. If Brother Pierce heals Britney, I remember thinking, it truly would be a miracle because God would have to heal her all the way down to the chromosomes. I didn’t have any confidence that Britney’s Down’s syndrome would simply disappear due to Brother Pierce’s prayers and, worse, I worried that the services would make her feel afraid or like a lesser person. I couldn’t bring myself to attend the revival with Britney and my mom. My skepticism about Brother Pierce was confirmed when my mom told me after services that Britney simply got in line and was prayed for. Brother Pierce offered no special prayer for — or individual attention to — Britney and, of course, she was not “healed” of her Down’s syndrome. But what was of no surprise to me was a huge disappointment for my mother. She had been reluctant to attend the revival at first but once she committed to going she had high hopes for how Brother Pierce might help Britney. My mother was all too aware of what made Britney but she still allowed herself hope. My grandmother, meanwhile, expressed a quiet disappointment about the revival. “It just wasn’t God’s will,” she said and purposefully left it at that.

Neither one of them attempted to explain why Brother Pierce’s healing ministry had not worked wonders on Britney — it was simply a mistake to not be repeated or talked about.

His family discovered his online history, and The Clergy Project announced DeWitt as its first pastor-turned-atheist. The town of DeRidder was stunned.

“Disappointed, shocked betrayed, lied to,” DeWitt says. “I’ve had people contact me and try to nail down what I believed and when, for them to know whether their baptism was valid.”

In June 2011, two months after his last sermon, his wife left him. The city fired him in December of that year.

He took over as executive director of Recovering From Religion. In April 2012, DeWitt “came out” at the American Atheists’ Convention “Reason Rally,” where he unveiled his atheist preacher persona.

“I’m not just trying to be an atheist with a smile,” DeWitt says. “I’m still very nostalgic for a lot of Christian culture. I can still very easily attend a service and unlike so many of my counterparts, I wouldn’t run out throwing up. This is family, this is culture, this is tradition, and that’s why I don’t say I lost my faith — I feel like I graduated from it.”

With a preacher’s sing-song affectation, DeWitt’s “sermons” involve pumped fists and pointed fingers while he rocks back and forth on his heels. (“I found myself down in such a low place. I was all alone, trapped.

I’m going to tell you, brother,” he preached at an Arkansas Society of Free Thinkers meeting in 2012. “But little did I know my mind was completely filled with all the wrong things. Religion had completely baptized me in falsehoods. … Can I get a Darwin?”)

“I felt like to not be myself would be to condemn myself to living a lie, to walking around a facade, the same way I felt I had been doing religiously the next few years,” DeWitt says. “So I just got up and did my preacher thing, and I’ve been pushing that now for the last year. … I know there’s a large portion of Louisiana that will resent me or hold me suspect because of my religious views. At the same time I want to make Louisiana proud, and show our way of communicating, our way of building community is so special and is so successful that it even will work in the secular realm. My intention is to continue being a minister.”

Last August, The New York Times published a profile of DeWitt, “From BibleBelt Pastor to Atheist Leader,” unmasking DeWitt and putting DeRidder on the map.

The Beauregard Daily News, DeWitt’s local paper that had praised his civil servitude, didn’t report DeWitt’s conversion until he appeared at a DeRidder City Council meeting. A local law group had requested a zoning change to house its office inside Fellowship Hall of Assembly of God Church. “Here was the only known atheist in the community defending my grandfather’s vision for his church,” DeWitt says, laughing.

The story concluded with the reveal: “DeWitt is well-known for his life change

Jerry DeWitt was born into a family of Pentecostal ministers.

In 1986, at age 16, Dewitt visited Jimmy Swaggart’s megachurch in Baton Rouge, where he was “saved.”

DeWitt changed his Facebook religious views to “secular humanist”.

DeWitt delivered his last sermon in April 2011.

“Quite honestly,” DeWitt says, sighing, “I’m afraid how things are going to be when the book comes out.”

The morning after The New York Times published DeWitt’s profile, agents and publishers flooded his Facebook and email inboxes.

“I’m not a writer. I’m a preacher,” he says. “How is it possible that this Southern-fried Pentecostal preacher is sitting in a hot tub of water reading an email from Simon and Schuster?”

DeWitt connected with New Orleans journalist Ethan Brown, best known for Shake the Devil Off, which chronicles Iraq War veteran Zackery Bowen’s return to New Orleans before Hurricane Katrina and the gruesome murder he commits after the levee failures. The two spent four months revisiting DeWitt’s life and career, pulling out memories and fleshing out the details.

“It was truly therapeutic,” DeWitt says. “It was four months of intense counseling. It caused all these pieces to click together in a way that I think it would’ve taken a lifetime to get as well as I was by the time the book was over.”

The book, Hope After Faith (Da Capo Press), will be published June 25.

DeWitt is bracing himself for the attention.

“I’m horrified,” he says, laughing.

“I’m worried about the next wave of rejection.”

Aside from the occasional glances from conservative Pentecostals at his local Walmart, DeRidder hasn’t faced any serious criticism, he says. He has no plans to leave DeRidder, though he preaches on the road during public speaking tours. He’s booked throughout Florida in December.

He also serves on the board of The Clergy Project and Foundation Beyond Belief, assisting former clergy members and fellow humanists find a community. “(In Louisiana), it’s easy for days to turn into weeks and weeks to turn into years in the process of just getting by and doing good,” he says. “We don’t necessarily have institutionalized breaks where we stop and debate theology. What we’re trying to do is build community and enrich the lives of those people around us. …

“How do we create secular communities? … How do we meet the needs of secular people in a way that religious communities are able to meet those needs? How do we meet those needs in a Louisiana way?”

work. That led to her first collection, Jewelry designer Marion Cage Totem, made of McCollam worked polished wood as an architect and precious before opening metals. “I like her store. making things PhOTO by with unexCheRyL GeRbeR pected materials,” she says.

Other collections followed, including Arabesque, inspired by ornamental Persian tile; Point, with metal and wood talons, bones and barbs; and Sliver, her latest collection of gracefully carved stakes, spears and spikes.

There’s even a “Canine” collection — engraved dog tags in brass or white bronze — inspired by the artist’s Rhodesian ridgeback, Whistler (who is at the shop as often as McCollam is).

All of McCollam’s jewelry pieces are cast in fine metals from original prototypes and sent to professional casters. Some are made from hard wax sliced with a sharp knife; others are sculpted in clay; still others use computerassisted design to create a pattern, which is then laser-cut in metal. McCollam’s background in design, architecture and graphic art contributes toward a distinctive style.

Later this year McCollam will launch a hardware collection of pulls and knobs.

As for her bridal collection, McCollam is heartened by the response so far.

“People are really liking the fact that our jewelry looks so different,” she says.

“They can customize, they can mix and match, they can have something that truly suits their own style as individuals and as a couple.”

ince 2009, women who love chic, edgy jewelry have beaten a path to Marion Cage (3719 Magazine St., 504-891-8848, www.marioncage.com) for contemporary pieces inspired by nature and architecture.

Now designer Marion Cage McCollam is seeing a new subset of customer: unconventional brides and grooms.

McCollam’s recently launched collection of wedding rings includes the work of two other jewelry designers, Carla Caruso and Rebecca Overmann. They are her friends and contemporaries, and like McCollam’s, their pieces are powerful and minimalistic, with organic inspirations evident in their elegant simplicity and flow. “Carla’s is more dainty; Rebecca’s is more sculptural,” McCollam says.

“Our styles really complement each other and our work is cohesive.”

Though their styles are their own, the three designers’ offerings can be worn together, even stacked on the same finger. Overmann’s eye-catching bands evoke water, stone, leaves and bark, while Caruso’s have details like tiny dots and scalloped edges. McCollam’s wedding styles include stackable bands of small brown or black diamonds set in white, yellow or rose gold or black rhodium.

“It’s a nontraditional approach to the wedding ring,” McCollam says.

McCollam designed jewelry for years before she launched her shop. An architect, she began making jewelry to vent creative impulses frustrated by the constraints of the building business. “A lot of architects need an outlet,” McCollam says. She got her start from clients who owned retail shops and asked to carry her

Coffee and Milkfish Milkfish showcases a fascinating cuisine.

Access to locally produced foods is improving quickly around New Orleans.

Just ask anyone gearing up for this year’s Eat Local Challenge, which asks participants during the month of June to eat foods produced within a 200-mile radius of New Orleans.

“It’s so much easier now than when we started this, and that was just three years ago,” says Lee Stafford, co-founder of the annual event. “We can get more food at the grocery stores and there are more specialty shops for some of the stuff that had been hard to find before, especially meat. The first week is still hard, but once your refrigerator is filled with all local items, you’re good to go.”

Stafford and New Orleans native Leslie Brown, a Covington pediatrician, started the Eat Local Challenge as a way to encourage people to explore the richness of local foods and connect with local food producers. It since has evolved into a month of events, from workshops about making your own wine, sausage or gelato to a bicycle tour of urban gardens to wild berry foraging excursions along the batture.

This year, there will be a garden-to-glass cocktail contest June 17 at the Old New PAGE 27

a pop-up for fine Filipino cooking

In France’s Rhone region, grenache is used as an elegant blending grape.

Spain’s sun-drenched, dry Aragon region, which includes Calatayud, is a great place to grow “heavy” fruit like garnacha (the Spanish name for the grape). Here aged vines produce fruit that exhibits the grape’s unique character and style.

This all-garnacha wine’s bouquet features aromas of red and black cherry and blackberry. On the palate, taste plums, currants, pepper and spice notes. It has low tannins, and even with all its fruit characteristics, there’s not a hint of sweetness. Drink it with lamb stew, ratatouille, coq au vin, cannelloni, wild game and red beans and sausage. Buy it at: Pearl Wine Co. and Swirl Wine Bar & Market. Drink it at: Lilette, Dick & Jenny’s, Salu, Basil Leaf, Capdeville, Cowbell, 45 Tchoup and Barcadia Bar & Grill.

op-up burger joints, taco stands and Italian dinners can be fun. But at its highest and best use, a pop-up restaurant can introduce or test the market for food that’s otherwise absent from established places. That’s part of the reason for the creation of Milkfish and its Filipino menu of lumpia eggrolls, pancit noodles and Spam fried rice.

Local restaurant veteran Cristina Quackenbush, a native of the Philippines, staged her first pop-up last spring. It led to an encore, then to a weekly gig at Marie’s Bar, a Marigny dive that’s become a pop-up incubator. Soon, a fan invited her to take over the kitchen in his neighboring coffee shop, the Who Dat Cafe.

Tucked behind the barista counter, Milkfish still retains some trappings of a pop-up. But it also features service more like a full-fledged restaurant, with table service, an inexpensive wine selection and a few Philippines-inspired tropical drinks.

Filipino food is a fusion of Latin American, Chinese and southeast Asian cooking, and it’s robustly expressed at Milkfish. But while many traditional Filipino dishes have the mishmash contours of comfort food, Quackenbush draws from her long career in fine dining to compose original, striking contemporary renditions.

The best example is the namesake milkfish, a staple in the Philippines with white, firm flesh and a strong, oily flavor akin to a sardine. Its other name is bangus, and I’m not sure which of these terms is least appetizing. But in Quackenbush’s kitchen, milkfish is grilled, doused with creamy, shrimp-studded coconut milk curry and topped with an intensely spicy red cabbage slaw that rivals kimchee. The result is a unique showstopper.

Assertive garnishes, artfully arranged bok choy and long beans and precisely molded rice shapes are hallmarks of Quackenbush’s style, even for the burly oxtail vertebrae of kare-kare. Fist-sized columns of bone and meat are smothered in stew that is a bit slimy and gray but powered by a surprisingly compatible combination of peanut butter and garlic and ignited by dabs of pungent shrimp paste. Your whole palate may tingle after eating this, and your lips will stick together.

Pork turns up everywhere, from the brittle-crusted, cigarillo-sized lumpia and the dark-seared ribs in the classic adobo, to unwieldy fried pig feet (best reserved for pig cultists) and “pork face,” which sounds provocative but tastes like especially tender, garlicky carnitas when mixed with chicken livers for sisig, a spicy, sizzling, fajitalike dish. There are vegetarian alternatives for most dishes but they rely too much on mock meats.

End a meal with the mellow cassava cake, dripping with coconut milk and topped with cheddar, or the Asian-style shaved ice parfait called halo-halo. Unique food like this is always worth a try, and when it’s all put together as well as it is at Milkfish, it could become a habit.

“That’s a chance to mingle with people who have done it before and get some of their tips,” says Anne Mueller, an Eat Local Challenge organizer.

Mueller completed the challenge last year and says the experience was especially valuable for helping her teach her young son what really goes into their meals. Her experience also demonstrates that there are different ways to approach the Eat Local Challenge. An self-described “addict” to iced coffee and certain New Zealand wines, Mueller says she couldn’t commit completely to the 200-mile radius rule. But that’s fine, because people can sign up for the Eat Local Challenge at different levels, from “ultrastrict,” which is just as it sounds, to “ultra ultra lenient,” for people who just want to give it a shot for a few days.

Participants don’t have to rely entirely on home cooking either. Forty New Orleans restaurants have promised to offer at least one Eat Local Challengecompliant dish on their menus in June, more than three times the count of last year’s participating restaurants. Eat Local Challenge registration costs $25. Sign up online at www.nolalocavore.org or at the May 31 kick-off event.

Next door to Basin Seafood, renovations are underway for a pizzeria called Amici, which will serve pizzas cooked in a coal-fired oven. The restaurant is expected to open in mid-June at 3218 Magazine St., which had been the home of Byblos (3242 Magazine St., 504894-1233; www.byblosrestaurants.com) before that Middle Eastern restaurant moved a block up the street last year.

Amici’s menu is not yet available, but marketing manager Michelle Jones says the restaurant’s concept is centered on its coal-fired pizza oven. This approach to pizza is far more common in the pizza hubs of the Northeast, and it typically produces crisp, thin-crusted pies with an element of smokiness from the coals. Rocketfire Pizza Co. (1950 N. Hwy. 190, Covington, 985-327-7600; www.rocketfirepizza.com) is another local example.

Amici concept will have an “icehouse,” which Jones describes as a beer bar with about 50 brews on tap, along with frozen liquors.

Jones says Amici is aiming for a “familyfriendly” feel. It’s also a concept the company may expand in the future.

Chef Edgar Caro made his name in New Orleans at his restaurant Baru Bistro & Tapas (3700 Magazine St., 504-895-2225; www.barutapas.com), where he serves dishes from his native Colombia. The food at his most recent venture, Basin Seafood & Spirits (3222 Magazine St., 504-302-7391), has a lot more to do with his adopted Louisiana home, and also with his partner in the new restaurant.

Caro recently opened Basin Seafood with Tommy Peters, a former fishing guide whose family operated a fishing charter business out of Venice, La. Caro was one of their clients, and Peters says he was always impressed by what the chef could do with the day’s catch once he got it dockside – or even before then.

“We caught a snapper one time and he made it into ceviche right there on the boat,” Peters says. “It was just four ingredients and it was the best ceviche I’d ever had. We’ve been friends ever since.”

At Basin Seafood, the short menu takes a straightforward, more modern, often lighter approach to Louisiana seafood than the fried and boiled template, joining what’s turning into a promising trend around town. There is a fried seafood platter, a shrimp po-boy and, while they’re in season, boiled crawfish. But then there’s whole grilled fish with roasted jalapeno

what to know before you go

E VENTS 49

Offensive coordinator Comedian Anthony Jeselnik returns to New Orleans.

By Will Coviello

A

The show has drawn some outrage and complaints.

“The show is more subversive (than his stand-up act), because we frame it like a regular late-night show,” Jeselnik says. “People think we’re going to talk about normal things, but I am talking about the worst things in the world. That can trick people into getting more upset than they would.”

Jeselnik doesn’t consider himself a shock comic.

“People say, ‘Oh you’re just doing that to get attention,’” he says. “No, I have the attention.

This is what I want to talk about.

I know I am funny and can craft a great joke. My challenge is to talk about something horrible and make people laugh at it. You have to be clever to make a good joke. I am not trying to hurt people or offend people. Some people are going to be offended. But why tone it down when there are people who get it?”

Dark humor is nothing new to comedy writers.

“People would say that in writers’ rooms the funniest joke is always followed by ‘Yeah, but we can’t do that, so what else?’” Jeselnik says. “But why can’t I do that? Why can’t I sell that on TV? [The Jeselnik Offensive] is a comedy writer’s dream show.”

As was the case when he worked at Fallon’s show, Jeselnik says he’s still got the darkest sense of humor among his writers.

“It’s always, ‘How can we pull this off?’” he says.

“How can we show a baby going around in a dryer?

What do we have to do to make this work? That’s the challenge. If I couldn’t do that, I wouldn’t want to be on TV.” Comedy Central recently picked up the show for another season, which begins July 9 and runs eight to 10 weeks. Jeselnik hopes to do another 10-show season in winter, and would like to do two 15-show seasons like Daniel Tosh’s Tosh.0.

Jeselnik’s sense of humor has its roots in New Orleans.

“In college among my friends, it was always who could say the most offensive thing or the most inap-

propriate thing that was the funniest.

Comedy Central has commissioned a I was never afraid second season of Anthony Jeselnik’s of failing.”

The Jeselnik Offensive.

But Jeselnik never PHOTO BY TYLEr GOLDEN tried doing comedy in New Orleans.

“People in New Anthony Jeselnik Orleans don’t need junE 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. Saturday comedy,” he says.

“They have their food Harrah’s New Orleans and booze and stuff.

8 Canal St. You don’t need it.”

That’s one of the (855) 234-7469 reasons he is happy www.harrahsneworleans.com to come back.

Tickets $35 (including fees) “New Orleans is my favorite city in the world,” he says.

“I come back twice a year just to eat. I used to come back just to drink, but I got older.”

fter Anthony Jeselnik graduated from Tulane University with a degree in English, he moved to Los Angeles to become a writer. After what he describes as a disastrous first year in L.A., he tried comedy.

“It’s a lot easier to get up and tell jokes every night than get someone to read a piece of paper,” he said from Los Angeles, a week before his first stand-up performance in New Orleans.

Eventually, he landed a job as a writer for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. It didn’t go well.

“I came in like, ‘This is what I think is funny,’ and they would be like, ‘That’s really funny to you, but Jimmy can’t say this,’” Jeselnik says.

Did his material ever get on air?

“I remember this one joke, it wasn’t even dark or anything. It was absurd. I thought it’ll be weird and funny if he does this,” Jeselnik says. “It was Shakespeare’s birthday, and [Shakespeare] was born and died on the same day. So Jimmy says, ‘Today, Shakespeare was born in 16-whatever, and then he died on this day in 17-whatever, and I don’t care what anyone says, that guy was a great writer.’

“After that, they told me they had a meeting.

They decided they would never do any more jokes like that.”

After a year, Jeselnik quit the show rather than adjust his style of humor. His stand-up comedy and an album did well and he became known for jokes like one about a girlfriend.

“My girlfriend loves chocolate,” he would start.

“She’s always eating chocolate, and she likes to joke that it’s an addiction. … So I put her in the car and drove her downtown, and I pointed out a crack addict, and I said, ‘Do you see that, honey? Why can’t you be that skinny?’”

Then Comedy Central hired him to write jokes for roasts. He spent four weeks writing material for the celebrity guests on the roast of actor and singer David Hasselhoff. Comedy Central liked his work so much, it put him on stage to roast Donald Trump.

Jeselnik’s dark humor was on track. He got his own stand-up special on Comedy Central, and then the network hired him to do his own show: The Jeselnik Offensive. On it, he’s had guests try to guess whether paintings are by a serial killer or a famous artist. In a segment called “Sacred Cow,” he has joked about racial issues, bullying and missing children (he asks a private detective whether it’s better to use a “Help me find my puppy” or “Who wants candy?” approach.

The detective advises the puppy approach.).

Go back in time — not that far, say May 2011 — and tell a member of The Men that in two years the band would employ a full-time lap steel guitarist and draw Tom Petty comparisons, and they’d have either laughed you out of the building or staged a human sacrifice to the blown-out Wiccan rituals “Think” and “L.A.D.O.C.H.” If that member was former bassist Christopher Hansell, the sacrifice would be his own. The primordial force behind Leave Home’s stormy hardcore audible would not survive that album’s tour cycle, replaced on 2012’s Open Your Heart by the band’s audio engineer, Ben Greenberg, on bass and by lap steel player Kevin Faulkner in spirit. Immediately, these were different Men: shoegaze and punk became classic rock and power pop, the diversion routes marked not by guttural outbursts but by motorik grooves (seven-minute droner “Oscillation”), slide rule (self-explanatory “Country Song”) or, in one rare case (the Kafkaesque “Presence”), both. Led by a shuffling, sun-setting piano ballad (“Open the Door”), March release New Moon (Sacred Bones) completes the metamorphosis, squashing any hope of reawakening the beast in its reckless pursuit of other, older muses.

“Half Angel Half Light” and “The Seeds” are near-perfect alt-’80s bar rockers, while the back-to-back placement of “High and Lonesome” and “The Brass” — the quietest and loudest tracks — is both side change and olive branch: Everyone wins. Lovey Dovies open. Tickets $10 in advance, $12 at the door. — NOAH BONAPARTE PAIS

REVIEW

The Iceman

The Iceman (R) Directed by Ariel Vromen Starring Michael Shannon, Winona Ryder, Ray Liotta and James Franco Limited release

Gambit > bestofneworleans.com > maY 28 > 2013

Richard Kuklinski is not your typical cult figure.

The serial killer monetized his behavior by working for the Mob for more than two decades, and he died in 2006 at age 70 under suspicious circumstances while serving five consecutive life sentences for murder. He is believed to have killed more than 100 men — but no women or children. A hit man must have principles.

Two main factors set Kuklinski apart from most psychopaths. Throughout his career he successfully maintained a double life by balancing his murderous activities with a mundane suburban existence, complete with a wife and kids who knew nothing of his true calling. Once he was caught in 1986 and incarcerated, he talked eloquently about his life with criminologists, psychologists, journalists and filmmakers, detailing his horrifying crimes while calmly explaining how his abusive father created a monster. The results included bestselling books and a lurid HBO documentary series. Probably the most surprising thing about The Iceman, a based-on-true-events Kuklinski biopic from co-writer and director Ariel Vromen, is that Kuklinski’s fascinating story took 25 years to find its way to the big screen.

Vroman does a nice job of recreating the dingy, low-rent feel of New York and New Jersey in the 1970s, even though The Iceman was shot almost exclusively in Shreveport, La. The Mob-centered movies from that era by directors like Scorsese and Coppola serve as obvious touchstones. But the reason people will be talking about The Iceman well into next year’s awards season is Michael Shannon’s breakout performance in the title role. Shannon was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for 2008’s Revolutionary Road, and his star has risen with his ongoing work on HBO’s Boardwalk Empire. As the endlessly tormented Kuklinski, Shannon delivers the kind of indelible work that leads to lifelong A-list acting careers. By the end of The Iceman, you may be surprised to recognize you’ve just spent two hours rooting for a cold-blooded killer to resolve his inner conflicts and defeat the mobsters who abuse him — all in a movie that’s too graphically violent for mainstream audiences. Shannon’s Kuklinski is that human and real.

Familiar faces surround Shannon throughout the film — because that’s what it takes to get a Hollywood movie made in 2012 when your star is a relative unknown. Winona Ryder turns in her best work in ages as Kuklinski’s wife, a woman who makes an almost conscious decision to ignore the clues to her husband’s double life. And Ray Liotta displays his usual flair as the mid-level mobster he’s played too many times to count. James Franco and Stephen Dorff chip in with single-scene performances, presumably so the producers could point to the very fact of their presence if the financing suddenly dried up. By the time you realize that it’s David Schwimmer (Ross from the TV show Friends) hiding under a massive 1970s mustache to play a fledgling hit man, it’s too late — The Iceman has set its hook. Cults always find a way to attract new members.

the St. Claude Arts District often is considered a post-Hurricane Katrina phenomenon — and it is, mostly — but this show illustrates how deep the experimental Marigny/Bywater art scene’s roots really are. Curated by Beau tardy and Michael Fedor, both veterans of Fedor’s former (19871990) Marigny-based Galerie Avant Gout, it also includes works by Pati D’Amico and William Warren, whose Waiting Room Gallery in Bywater was active from 1997 to 2008. Both spaces catered to emerging artists, a focus that continues in this show. tardy, who worked for MtV in New York for years, was inspired by mass media’s fixation on erotic titillation as we see in GotCha (pictured), his manipulated image of a woman in a vortex of flashy graphics like tV ads that inspire salacious thoughts based on nothing more than subliminal suggestion. the paintings by his French counterpart, Louis Jean Gorry, are far more graphic, but his style is as raw as scrawled subway graffiti. Somehow slick is more insidious.

Fedor’s intricately surreal collages look like something an absintheinspired French Quarter Max Ernst might have created, a sensibility complemented by D’Amico’s mystically tinged canvas The Medium, among others. In 2008, she and partner Warren moved to Water Valley, Miss., where the omnipresent kudzu inspired him to paint humanoid vine critters like Kudzu Blues Man, a wavy gravy exercise in animist pointillism in the form of a vinous Delta musician. throw in Margaret Meinzer’s adjacent expo of pop-expressionist dreamscapes and it’s a weirdly wonderful show in the grand St. Claude tradition of ad hoc epiphanies by artists with eternally youthful attitudes. It’s a sensibility that resonates neatly with French digital artist Nicolas Sassoon’s Green Waves, a vast surround-sound and light environment of choreographed pixels in motion at the May Gallery in Bywater, and Irish artist Jane Cassidy’s electronic music-video composition at Parse Gallery. Both of these sublimely ethereal shows at two of the newer art spaces in town extend a long local tradition of experimental art in unlikely places. — D. ERIC BOOKHARDt

Just when pompous period melodramas like The Phantom of the Opera seemed to have cornered the market on serious musical theater, Next To Normal ran off with a pulitzer prize, among many other honors. this inventive oddity, deftly produced by southern rep, might be characterized as the revenge of the middle class. it’s contemporary, suburban and a maelstrom of psychological torments. the show is a soft rock opera. almost all the narrative is sung, and a fourpiece band under the direction of Jefferson turner accompanies the impressive cast. bill walker’s set is a two-level abstract metallic structure, and most of the time it represents the new york home of the goodman family. wife and mother Diana goodman (leslie Castay) has had bipolar syndrome since her son gabe died 16 years ago at the age of 18 months. teenage gabe (Clint Johnson) is one of the main characters, and we realize he is a ghost in his mother’s mind.

Diane’s teenage daughter natalie goodman (madison Kerth) is a promising musician and hopes to earn a university scholarship. she is wretchedly jealous of her dead brother, who still dominates her mother’s affections. a ray of hope shines on her in the form of henry (matthew thompson), a musician who falls in love with her. husband Dan goodman (richard hutton) struggles to stand by his wife and help guide her back to normalcy. there are many laughs amid this wreckage, and they are all the funnier because they are not forced. the family turns to a doctor (michael Krikorian) for help and also to pills. lots of pills. when they don’t do the trick, the doctor recommends electroconvulsive therapy. the sometimes-perplexing narrative becomes clearer as you recognize how the pieces of the puzzle all fit together. the complexities are counterbalanced as cast members throw themselves into their parts with mesmerizing conviction. the singing is impressive, and Dan Zimmer’s lighting mirrors the psychic fireworks of the plot. gradually, one realizes the allure of Diana’s ghostly son has a dark side. his sweetest moments bring her perilously close to the grave, and the emotional tangle plays out interestingly. the script is more challenging than those of most musicals, and under blake Coheley’s direction the cast turns in a stunning performance. — Dalt wonK

JOB GURU

Dear New Orleans Job Guru, “As a person progresses in his or her career and moves into management and perhaps senior management, is there a point in which it is no longer necessary (or appropriate) to include the entire work history in the resume? Thanks.”

— Donna D., Metairie, LA Dear Donna, Occasionally, clients tell me they heard that, “You only have to go back 10 years on your résumé.” I put that type of advice in the same category as other pronouncements made by well-meaning but uninformed “experts” who are not on the front Grant Cooper lines of today’s job search battles. For a 35-40 year old candidate to fail to document what he/she did for 5-10 years after leaving college would be a transgression few decision-makers would overlook in the interview selection process.

Gambit > bestofneworleans.com > maY 28 > 2013

The basic answer to your question, Donna, is that it entirely depends on the situation at hand. For example, whether you include your entire work history on your résumé would depend in large measure on the job you are applying for, the nature of the jobs you held earlier in your career, and how old you are.

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY

VOLUNTEER

TEMPORARY FARM LABOR

A recent client had a job history that was quite sketchy in her earlier years. She had worked in restaurant server positions at several major restaurants in New Orleans for years, then later went on to earn her bachelor’s degree at U.N.O. and worked in the biomedical sales industry. She came to us because she was applying to a higher level regional management position in the biomedical sales field. We left her six years of restaurant work entirely off of her résumé and began it with her first job after graduating.

Since the graduation date and her first biomed job matched up, the six years was unnecessary, making her appear to be a younger candidate. She landed the job.

One of the techniques we use here at Strategic Résumés is to create a section immediately following the main job description area entitled “Previous Positions” that simply lists the older, less relevant jobs. In this way, the jobs are documented so that decision-makers can see how your career progressed without devoting too much space or attention to positions in the more distant past.

Of course, there are cases in which older jobs are entirely relevant, as in the case of those hoping to change career directions back to something they did in earlier years, or where the job announcement specifically requests skills gained earlier in one’s career. Also, those who are evaluating your résumé may wish to see that you “worked your way up” and are predisposed to look favorably upon careers that show a consistent upward trajectory.

Here are a few simple guidelines to decide how far back to go and which jobs to keep on your résumé: • If you have “gaps” that would appear in your job history by excluding some older positions, leave them in, or simply list them with no job descriptions.

• If the older positions were at prestigious companies or demonstrated that you have a wellrounded skill set, leave them in.

• If the older positions are obviously irrelevant, too lightweight, or age you too much, feel free to leave them off as long as it does not create a gap in employment after your graduation date.
