DEBUNKING ‘BLACKON-BLACK’ CRIME This piece is a response to an opinion submitted to the Indy Star by AbdulHakim Shabazz on April 9 titled “Hope, anger rise in violence-plagued Indy.”

These words are my own and not a reflection of my employer or any organization of which I am a part of.

I

am angry, not only with the violent crime that has taken place in Indianapolis, but our response to it.

I’ll begin with some 101.

“Black-on-black crime” is a myth, a socially accepted lie constructed to instill confusion, fear and anti-black sentiment. The term, along with the word “homeycides,” invokes this belief that Black people are inherently dangerous and crime that occurs within the black community is an epidemic.

The media, politicians and law enforcement do not sensationalize “white-on-white crime”. I hope I do not have to explain why.

Most crime happens when: 1. a perceived need arises, 2. an opportunity presents itself to fulfill this perceived need, 3. proximity or access to a person, place or thing provides an opportunity to fulfill this perceived need.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, the majority of homicides are intraracial, which means the perpetrator(s) and victim(s) are most likely of the same race.

Crime does not occur in a vacuum.

Our identities are informed by our privileges and the oppressions we face.

Crime works in much the same way.

The intersections of social ills (generational poverty, the school-to-prison pipeline etc.) and systems of oppression (white supremacy, patriarchy and capitalism) are undeniable factors.

Shabazz insists that poverty is not an excuse for crime. I agree. However, to analyze Indianapolis crime fairly and accurately, we must use an intersectional lens. Economic status, race and crime are inextricably linked in ways we have to understand before we can effectively reduce and eradicate violence in this city.

When you have what you need, opportu-

nity and the means to sustain yourself and loved ones, you don’t have to fight for it.

Shedrick, the 7th grade KIPP Academy student that Shabazz encountered, sounds like a great kid.

It is easy for us to uplift and value those whose lives align with a positive narrative. And in the same breath, we condemn and demonize teenagers like Simeon Adams —a black kid who committed a heinous crime, but we fail to ask ourselves the hard questions.

How does a child become so hopeless that he takes a life of another person? What can we do to prevent such circumstances from producing even more violence?

As a society, we often measure those we deem beneath us (in this case, black youth) by an imaginary scale of goodness to determine whether they are acceptable enough to be considered and treated as human. We decide a person’s worth based on our own experiences and values. But what we do not realize is that when we dehumanize others, we become inhumane ourselves. Violence does not end by discarding “bad” people in favor of “good”, law-abiding citizens. The cycle continues — dehumanization is violence.

I reject Shabazz’s dangerous metric.

We should assign humanity to one another without cause or condition. We exist, and therefore we are worthy.

Law enforcement and the justice system exist to provide consequences for those who commit crimes. But I submit that punitive justice is not enough, we must shift to restorative justice to see positive and lasting change.

The anger with crime in Indianapolis is justified. We must channel our collective emotions and resources — not into discarding individuals and entire sections of this city — but into combating social constructs that fuel a cycle of hopelessness so powerful that crime seems like the only option for young people, especially those of color.

Only then can we build safe communities, restore hope and thrive, together. n NUVO // 100% RECYCLED PAPER // 05.07.14 - 05.14.14 // VOICES 5

WHAT HAPPENED? Swimming in Coal Ash Indiana leads the nation in coal ash ponds with its 84 toxic reservoirs. The state’s coal industry produced an estimated 6.6 million tons of ash in 2012. A new report, Our Waters at Risk, released Monday by the Hoosier Environmental Council (and linked live at NUVO.net), warns that while federal hazardous waste regulations do not apply to coal ash, “due to mounting evidence of the health and environmental threats posed by poor coal ash disposal practices, the EPA is considering a new federal rule to regulate coal ash disposal in landfills, ponds and lagoons.” The rule is expected by December. Meanwhile, the HEC report notes: “Indiana’s record of spills and drinking water contamination is among the worst in the nation: 10 contaminated sites, including a Superfund site that has still not undergone cleanup, and three coal ash spills.

What’s more, the dams and embankments at Indiana’s coal ash ponds have mostly escaped state safety oversight.” To complement the land-borne legacy of coal power (which provides 78 percent of the state’s electricity), Indiana’s atmosphere absorbs almost 35 million pounds in emissions from coal power plants each year.

Stephenson on Tuesday made a surprise visit to the school in which he provided three girls with full-ride prom packages in addition to other giveaways. Stephenson conducted an essay contest to determine the winners. When asked about the significance of Stephenson’s gift, Stephanie Maier, one of the recipients, observed: “It means that people like Lance who have the opportunity to help other people are going out of their way to do it.” When asked what advice he had for kids, who, will be struggling to put their best foot forward under tight budgets this prom season, Lance admitted that embarrassment over his own threads kept him off the dance floor during his prom, but it also amped up his drive to succeed. “I worked so hard to be where I’m at,” Stephenson said. “Just being a good guy … I got this far.”

SAME-SEX COUPLES TAKE THEIR MARRIAGES TO COURT Baskin v. Bogin one of five cases challenging state’s heterosexual definition of marriage

F

BY M A RK A . L EE ED I T O R S @ N U V O . N E T

riday’s oral arguments in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana were the latest chapter in Baskin v. Bogan, the federal lawsuit filed by Lambda Legal, and the first of five lawsuits to be heard by the court in Indiana.

Five Indiana same-sex couples are seeking to overturn Indiana’s legal definition of marriage, which currently recognizes only heterosexual relationships. Early last month, Lambda Legal, a nonprofit founded in 1973 to defend the legal right of lesbian, gay, bisexuals and transgender people, filed an emergency motion in the case on behalf of Amy Sandler, Niki Quasney and their two

children, seeking immediate relief from discrimination as Quasney has stage four ovarian cancer. The court granted the emergency order on April 10, making Sandler and Quasney the first legally married same-sex couple in Indiana.

The emergency order expires May 8.

During Friday’s hearings, testimony revealed that Niki Quasney’s cancer “is back, and has grown worse.” Niki and Amy decided against more chemotherapy, as it will not prolong her life, and it would have numerous side effects. “I am doing everything I can to protect Amy and our two children from discrimination — my children shouldn’t have to grow up being treated as inferior to children from other families,” Quasney said.

“We are not asking for special privileges.

We should have the same freedoms as

other married Indiana couples.”

Niki and Amy were married in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on Aug. 29, 2013. All of the other couples — Rae Baskin and Esther Fuller, Bonnie Everly and Lyn Judkins, Dawn Carver and Pam Eanes, and Henry Greene and Glenn Funkhouser with minor son, C.A.G. — have been in what they say are committed, loving relationships lasting 13 to 24 years, and are waiting until marriage is legal in Indiana before tying the knot. During Friday’s oral arguments, attorney Camilla Taylor of Lambda Legal proposed five points to challenge her opponents’ argument that marriage’s primary function is to support human procreation: 1. You don’t have to pro-create in order to marry.

2. Unmarried people pro-create all the time.

3. Being reared by these couples is in the best interest of their children.

4. Nothing about the current definition encourages parents to be better parents.

5. The current definition harms children, making them feel inferior to children of legally married families.

Attorney Jordan Heinz, who attended the hearing with his Kirkland and Ellis colleague Dmitriy Tishyevich on behalf of Niki and Amy, told the court that “little has changed since the Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) three weeks and one day ago.” Nothing new has been presented in the last three weeks on the state’s behalf. And yet, creating legal documents for the same rights married couples have is not only very expensive, he said, but “proof they are being harmed.”

Indiana Solicitor General Thomas Fisher set the tone for the state’s defense by saying, “We have to set aside our human reactions to what is happening, and focus on the law. It’s never been about exclusion (of gay and lesbian couples), it’s about definition.”

Chief Judge Richard L. Young, who will be presiding over all five same-sex marriage cases in Indiana, asked Fisher, “Is marriage a fundamental right?”

Fisher responded, “Within limits — it does not include same-sex couples or polygamous marriages.” For now though, in Fisher’s words, gay marriage is “where the action is.”

Fisher went on to say that married couples create babies, and the state has to protect them. Judge Young wanted to know about couples who adopt, and if it’s the state’s job to protect them as well. He also went on to point out that 60 year olds don’t have to worry about having children, to which Fisher replied, “they model the behavior for fertile couples.”

“The state doesn’t care if you are a same-sex couple. They care if you can produce children,” Fisher said.

Fisher went on to talk about the “slippery slope” that would be caused by allowing same-sex couples to marry, leading the judge to ask, “What about states where same-sex marriage is already permitted? Has their institute of

marriage already disintegrated?”

“It’s too soon to tell,” Fisher replied.

According to attorney Heinz, it’s not too soon to tell if damage has been done by the state to Niki and Amy. Injuries to Niki include her claim that Indiana’s government encourages discrimination.

Niki continues to Camilla Taylor travel to Chicago for treatment, “for fear she won’t be treated as a married couple in Munster.” This fear stems partly from the fact a clerk in Munster denied their marriage certificate. It also stems from cases like Bonnie Everly and Lyn Judkins of Chesterton, Indiana.

One of the last times Bonnie was in

the hospital, Lyn — her partner of 13 years — was locked out, and blocked from ICU, something that would never happen to a married couple.

It is the plaintiffs’ argument that “discrimination itself, can cause clear injury.”

Bonnie and Lyn held hands throughout the entire proceedings, and never left one another’s sides after the hearings were over. Both Bonnie and Lyn have “No H8” tattooed on their arms, and the name of their future spouses tattooed above their hearts.

After the proceedings, Lyn said, “I’m so confident we’re going to win that I already bought my wedding dress!”

Niki and Amy should find out if their TRO has been extended prior to May 8, and it has not been determined when the summary judgment will be decided — attorneys said it could be weeks, or months. n

ne of the larger — and newer — buildings on Speedway’s Main Street is the headquarters of Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing.

Fisher, who retired from racing in 2010 after a quarter-century behind the wheel, became the youngest woman to start the Indy 500 when she qualified for the race in 2000. She’s also the first woman to stand on an IndyCar podium, the first female to take a pole position in open-wheel racing, and the first woman to run an entire season with IndyCar. Now Sarah splits operational duties for her team with her husband Andy O’Gara, a former member of her pit crew. This season’s IndyCar driver for Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing’s team is Josef Newgarden, who runs with one of Sarah’s old car numbers, 67.

Originally from Columbus, Oh., Sarah has made Indy her home, and she’s a fixture in the town of Speedway. As the city renovates the commercial districts adjacent to the track, new businesses are springing up, including everything from Main Street Yoga to Daredevil Brewing (they’ll be moving from Shelbyville when the new brewery wraps construction). We asked Sarah — who’s currently expecting her second child — to give us both a bit of her backstory and a tour of some of her favorite haunts in the “Racing Capital of the World.”

midgets. Eventually, I had an opportunity to run in IndyCar; I did that for several years.

The first time I qualified for the Indianapolis 500, I was a 19 year-oldgirl. It was pretty crazy; there was quite a bit of attention there. But what was happening on the track was what really impressed me. The cars were tremendous. They handled so very, very well. I can’t say how much it meant to me to be able to qualify for that race. It was probably the most incredible When you get into the car, experience of my life up to that though, the crowd slips away. point.

The thing about the Speedway A driver zones in. that people don’t understand is how that crowd affects you as a driver. Race day is so vastly different from practice. You’re focused on your guys, the team, your engineering throughout the month of May, but when the stands fill up on race day, the idea that so many people are in the venue is unbelievable. You think to yourself, “THIS many people care about this?” When I was 19, I was pretty naïve. To be one of those 33 drivers is something I’ll never forget.

When you get into the car, though, the crowd slips away. A driver zones in. You remember the lines that you ran in practice; you remember that last time you’d run on Carb Day. s

ARTERS U Q D A E H E H T ON PUTTING RACING N A M T R A H R E OF SARAH FISH T IN SPEEDWAY ON MAIN STREE

T he redevelopment that the town of Speedway’s undertaken has been a great opportunity for us.

ON BUILDING A TEAM As I got older, and got married, I knew I had to make a decision.

My husband and I decided that the only way we were going to really have the proper control over our careers would be to have our own team. I drove for a couple of years as a team owner, but eventually, you’ve got to do one or the other. I couldn’t give my all to the team if I was wearing both hats. When I looked at the big picture, the team needed me to be more of a leader than a driver.

I think a lot of casual fans don’t realize how much training’s involved in IndyCar. Being able to transition from ovals to road courses and back again requires many, many hours at the wheel.

Working with the engineers, the sponsors, trying to keep the money coming in while honing my skills in the cockpit — it was simply too much.

This way, I’m still involved in IndyCar but I can also devote enough time to being a mom. My husband and I have a little girl — Zoey, she’s two and a half — and a little boy on the way. I still refuse to drive a minivan, but I did have a discussion on Twitter about renting out my belly to a sponsor. Huggies was actually interested. s

They’ve made a home for our fans outside of race weekend — that’s been incredible. As we were looking to grow and expand, my business partner, Wink Hartman, really wanted to explore that idea. There were pre-existing buildings elsewhere in Indy that were available, but he’s really dedicated to this team and its growth, and to be a part of that fan experience is something we just couldn’t pass up.

The proximity to the track compounds that wonderful fan experience. I love being just a few blocks away from IMS. We’re always there when they need help, and vice-versa. Our relationship with the track has almost become a secondary partnership in and of itself.

I want to see that fan experience build the crowds back up throughout the entire month — I want 500 qualifications to be as popular as they were in the 1970s. Being part of the Main Street redevelopment will hopefully bring some of that excitement back to the process.

The best thing about being on Main Street; we’re a small business among small businesses. We’ve grown, don’t get me wrong — we have 23 employees currently. I used to have to write the checks by hand, but we’ve got someone doing payroll now. s

ON LINO’S I’ve heard that there’s only two locations: Lino’s has a shop in Milan, Italy, and Indy. How does that happen? Here in the U.S., it’s part of the Dallara factory on Main, and that’s why I love it: the options that Lino’s offer are just amazing and they’re right next door. It’s authentic Italian espressos and coffees — just outstanding. A cup of coffee from Lino’s is one of the most elegant treats in the city.

They have food, too, and our team has a lot of meetings at Lino’s. They’re so nice, so very accommodating. It’s a little touch of Europe here on Main.

My favorite drink from Lino’s is a decaf caramel macchiato. The little boy that we’re expecting is definitely a candy eater, so right now, the sweeter the better. (And before you ask, his name is still under discussion.) s

ON PLACES THE AVERAGE JOE NEVER SEES AT THE TRACK I have two favorite places in all those nooks and crannies: I was a spotter for a little bit during practice, and I loved being up in the nest on turn three.

Up there in the corner, you can see so much.

As a driver, I’ve had a few chances to stand on the very, very top of the Pagoda — where the snipers sit — and that’s pretty impressive, let me tell you. The really high spots that give you the sense of size of the track — they’re just amazing. s

ON YOGULATTE W

e bought some for the team just the other day — it’s really, really good.

I love boutique-style food shops like that; things that are just a little different from the usual fare you’d associate with a town like Speedway. Yogulatte has been a great addition to Main Street. They’ve got three locations, all in Indy.

I love the fact that a place that just looks this cool decided Speedway needed yogurt! The team drops by pretty often, but it’s getting to be a tough walk for me – I’m pretty far along in my pregnancy! — so I’d love it if those folks would start thinking about delivering. HINT, HINT. I order plain yogurt and just go wild with the toppings. s

Sometimes you’ll see teams wooing a driver over a table of food there. It’s a tremendous place to go if you’re fan of open-wheel racing: you never know who you’re going to see there.

“Bountiful” by Rita Grendze

Art from the Heartland 2014 w Art From the Heartland is the Indianapolis Art Center’s biennial regional showcase of art from Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Kentucky. The 2014 juror is Sarah Urist Green, curator and host of PBS Digital Studios weekly web series The Art Assignment. Submissions were judged blind, so there is art from professors, professional artists and untrained artists. As usual, there was a wide spectrum of excellent art selected for the exhibition. The quality combined with the sheer variety of media and styles on display makes a strong case for the Midwest’s artistic prowess.

Courtland Blade’s oil on canvas “The Frozen Aisle” expertly portrays the reflection of glass freezer doors on linoleum floor. It evokes the familiar and somewhat ironic desert mirage-like feeling of standing in a grocery store gazing down the aisle, consumed by the vastness of items and being unable to process it all and choose something to place in the cart.

Nathan Gorgen’s acrylic and spraypaint on paper piece “WestWood II” forces close inspection before the viewer realizes that it is not real wood. The bright green stenciled lumber company branding, the zoomed in scale and the nearly flawless execution are more than the sum of their parts, rendering a normally overlooked everyday object as wor“Black Vessel #1.1”

Martha Opdahl’s rubber sculpture “Black Vessel #1.1” engages in dialogue with postwar era sculptural explorations of John Chamberlain and contemporary peers such as Robert Morris and Diane Simpson. The black rubber’s folds and creases give the sculpture a feeling that is both alien and familiar, inviting a closer look.

Katrina Murray’s oil painting “View from LACMA” conjures Hockney, and succeeds in wryly questioning whether the art inside the museum can compete with the museum balcony’s view of the mountains for viewer’s attention.

FIRST FRIDAY, BY THE NUMBERS New Perspectives in Genesis: The Binding of Isaac in Art, Music, and Word t A faux Torah scroll is the centerpiece of this 12-artist group show, connected to a seminar on religion, spirituality and the arts co-sponsored by Butler and Christian Theological Seminary. The scroll is John Domont’s take on the binding of Isaac and other stories revolving around the father of us all, Abraham. In the interior of this unrolled scroll, you see shadowy acrylic paintings on paper. Psychological speculation-cum-commentary is supplied by wall text such as “The initial wounding often comes with a trauma that bleeds into adolescence.” You also see here how Judaism bleeds, as it were, into Christianity and Islam. A noble exercise, but the stridency was a turnoff for me. My favorite piece was David Landis’ “What Now?” — a steel sculpture shaped like a tree with wind-turbine-like blocks balanced on the branches. How exactly did this sculpture tie in with the exhibit theme? Unbound by any exegesis, I felt free to draw my own conclusions.

Our First Friday includes stops at Domont Gallery, the Harrison, the Stutz, Monster Gallery and Indy Reads Books

“Engine”

by Justin Cooper

Domont Gallery Anti-Gravity: Paintings by Justin Cooper e 2 Some of Cooper’s previous works evoked the Eastern Orthodox tradition of icon making, portraying jaguars with haloes on surfboards and the like. And though they were beautiful, thoughtful pieces, showcasing Cooper’s superb skill as a representational artist, they weren’t the most spontaneous paintings in the world. These new mixed media paintings (on canvas) are looser and freer. The subject is a young woman who — occasionally carrying a black hole in her hand — you might describe as a 21st-century Alice in Wonderland. His palettes are limited, and calligraphic line work is pared down to the essentials against the white of the canvases.

“Savannah” by Erin Huber, from Mother Artist Project

and numbered journal entries take you deep inside her attempt to find the sublime inside her own struggle. “My sublime has become very small,” she told this reviewer. “Whereas before it was very large.”

Harrison Center for the Arts through May 30 Mother Artist Project: Erin Huber e The photographs in this exhibition also appear on Erin Huber ‘s Mother Artist Project blog, where they’re joined by Q&As with featured artists. Huber’s main object of interrogation is how “mother artists” balance their aspirations as artists with their occupations with mothers. These black and white digital photographs feature the mothers in close proximity with their children — and the exhibition itself is in close proximity to new work by Susan Hodgin, one of the MAP subjects.

While the photos sometimes capture lighter moments, they also suggest it’s not a bed of roses bringing up baby while creating art. One photo, “Savannah,” shows its titular subject, a fashion stylist, in her studio, looking at least momentarily overwhelmed, her head in her hands as her child crawls in the background.

A Limitless Existence: Susan Hodgin q 3 In Hodgin’s landscape-like paintings, she created the illusion of three-dimensional space by unconventional means. Instead of seeing mountains and their peripheries, as in traditional landscape painting, Hodgin took you deep inside them. But this particular exhibition is less landscape-oriented, and Hodgin’s recent struggle with cancer has led her to work on a smaller scale, in size of both her canvases and subject matter. There are many 5 mixed media works on paper — “Back Home many of them highly gestural — Again” by Allan Askren

reCYCLE pARTS II e Indy is the Circle City, the Crossroads of America. Both monikers come to mind looking at “Back Home Again” by Allan Askren, a wall-hanging sculpture made from bike parts soldered together in the shape of Indiana. Indianapolis is represented by a bike gear and the circular housing surrounding it, and this state’s numerous highways become bike chains pulled taut. Another standout is Michael Pietrocatelli’s “Drumcycle” which merges a bicycle with a drum kit. While it’s not possible to ride this bike, at least you can play the thing.

Raymond James Stutz Art Gallery through May 30 Bookish: Emma Overman e I’m a longtime fan of Emma Overman’s paintings. With their child protagonists, menageries of animal characters — and Overman’s sweet sense of humor — they could work was as illustrations for children’s books unwritten. (In fact, Overman has illustrated a number of children’s books in her artistic career.) But these paintings aren’t just for kids, and elements of her personal life sometimes seep in, giving a deeper, darker resonance to her acrylic on canvas paintings. Most impressive at this Indy Reads exhibition is “Neither Her Nor There,” which depicts an oval-faced girl reading a book under an oddly placed chandelier at the door of a deep dark forest.

He sowed his kindness throughout communities by example. In his presence reason ripened, contention withered. He wasn’t in a hurry to be elsewhere when he was with you. It was you who mattered. He personalized philanthropy and transformed lives. “Richard Ford was a kind man and I was grateful to be a recipient of that kindness through his support of Dance Kaleidoscope,” recalls Roberta Wong. Ford also contributed to Indianapolis Opera and the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, and held a directorship with the Indianapolis Museum of Art. “Richard helped make art happen in this community,” Wong continues. “Genuine kindness is not a deadline, nor a task, nor something to be used as a strategy to get ahead of the line. Pure kindness has its own reward.”

Big Car’s Lafayette Square location to close with one last big event

T

B y S co tt S h o g er ss h o g e r @ n u v o . n e t

hursday’s kickoff to the second season of the ideas competition 5x5 will also function as a farewell to Big Car Collaborative’s Service Center space, which the non-profit arts organization will hand over to an auto body shop next month.

And that’s okay, says Big Car founder Jim Walker, because the Lafayette Square outpost for the city-wide organization was always intended as a temporary home.

More on Big Car’s move in a minute.

First to 5x5, the ideas competition that awards a winning idea-pitcher $10,000 to realize a project. The game remains the same: Five finalists have five minutes and five slides to present ideas. The winner is selected by a jury assembled by the host organization with audience feedback playing a part in the decision. Each event has a theme and invites entrants to tailor their ideas to that theme.

Big Car Collaborative’s theme is Re:Connect, and it’s partnering on it with Reconnecting to Our Waterways, a grassroots organization working to reclaim Indy waterways, notably Little Eagle Creek in the Service Center’s Lafayette Square neighborhood. Big Car and ROW solicited ideas that, from the news release, “reconnect people with the environment, especially our waterways, and each other.”

Walker says that aside from the obvious monetary benefit to winners, he thinks 5x5 is beneficial because it challenges people, regardless if they win, to “articulate ideas that they have, to write them out, to pitch them. It’s not just an exercise they go through; the ideas that are generated can lead to some kind of action.” He praises the social aspect of the event, how it “connects individuals to a larger group through idea sharing,” how it “takes something abstract and makes it into a real-life event.”

Returning to Big Car Collaborative’s future; The non-profit was paying ten percent of market rate to Lafayette Square Mall on the Service Center space on the condition it would move out as soon as a tenant willing to pay full price indicated interest. Such a tenant emerged, and Big Car was given two months to vacate the space, per contract. It’s in the process of relocating its

urban farm/garden, with quality dirt and infrastructure headed to other such setups around the city. Moving parties are being held on Saturdays through May. Walker says he’s looking at the move as an “opportunity,” fitting in with the organization’s desire to stay “spontaneous, organic, going with the flow of things and seeing where they lead.” Big Car is looking around Lafayette Square for a similar space — there are plenty of empty storefronts — but he says “it’s a challenge for people to see that having something activate within one retail is going to fill adjacent spaces.” And, as Walker notes, Big Car did help attract a tenant back to the Service Center space, improving the building through such measures as removing the retail scar left by a former Firestone shop.

He stresses that Big Car isn’t abandoning the Lafayette Square neighborhood “because we’re invested there” and that

Service Center was one of many projects the organization is working on.

And Walker emphasizes that Big Car didn’t really move to Lafayette Square, such that it’s moving out now, because it’s active in three key Indianapolis neighborhoods — the Far East Side, a swath of the Southeast side including Garfield Park and Fountain Square, and the Lafayette Square neighborhood — in addition to city-wide projects. Community-based programming planned this year includes a Better Blocks event (a temporary re-envisioning of a downbeat urban block with sustainable design in mind); visits from a bookmobile that also offers art projects to the near Eastside; the launch of the recreational, co-ed and adult Indy City Soccer League; and a public art and performance festival, Art in Odd Places, slated for mid-October.

In all, Walker counts Service Center as a successful project, saying that Big Car “helped change the reality and the story” in an “impersonal, hardscrabble area when all you give people is pavement and buildings and cars.” While what happened inside the building was important to him — and the Service Center was essential to Big Car as a workshop for all manner of projects — he thinks the garden in front of the building was the project’s biggest legacy, a case study in “taking over pavement and making a space for people.” n

FIXING AN ISLAMIC LENS ON LESBIAN LOVE

BY THOMAS A. MASON AND J. KENT CALDER AltaMira Press, 133 pages; $23.95 t An excellent how-to guide for the family and/or local historian with a story to share beyond dinner table conversation, Writing Local History Today provides a step-by-step outline from deciding who is your audience and on through the entire process of researching, verifying data , writing and re-writing, finding a publisher and marketing the finished book. Showing by example, the book is both practical and honest. Before embarking on the long journey toward seeing your name on the cover you should be sure a lot of “someones” besides your mother will buy the book. Publishing is a business (that includes self-publishing, unless you don’t expect a return on your investment) so the top question and bottom line from a publisher are ‘who will buy and for how long will this book remain of interest and be current?’ For a book of history, truth and accuracy are essential. As with Santa, it’s a matter of finding the data and checking it twice. Eyewitness reports, etc., are fraught with one point-of-view and axes-to-grind. For a general audience clarity and precision are essential writing guidelines. Putting facts in context helps readers access information. Studying the examples of letters of agreement and contracts prepares you for the reality of obligations from parties A and B. Financial pitfalls are as detrimental to your wellbeing as are potholes. “Beware” is an operative word for would-be authors.

First-time author’s characters explores sexuality, morality and relationships

I

B Y R EBECCA TO W N S EN D RTOW N S E N D @ N U V O . N E T

f members of IUPUI’s Islamic and LGBTQ communities ever got together for a book club, they couldn’t do much better for the first meeting than pre-med student and first-time author Fatima Warsame’s new book Loving You Wasn’t Enough. Call it a perfect pick to chum the waters of literary critique.

Warsame’s book finds its protagonist — a young, Muslim, Somali student named Ebyan — facing a monumental moral dilemma: the realization that she is love with a fellow female Muslim.

Warsame, a young, Muslim, Somali, pre-med student — who, in a recent interview with NUVO, said she is not gay — hopes her book “ignites a discussion among different people.”

Her life in Indianapolis has been a celebration of difference ever since her family arrived in Indianapolis from Somalia when Warsame was 5. Her Hoosier neighborhood included Latinos, Catholics, Indian and Hindus.

“In the way I grew up, especially in my early years here, I was very lucky in the people I was around,” Warsame said.

“That had a lasting effect on who I am.”

And, she said, while she and her parents are strict Muslims, who pray several times a day and practice ritual fasting, the family also values intellectual curiosity. Her parents run the Juba Somali Market, 1134 Mickley Ave., near West Washington and I-465.

“They had strong convictions but were intellectually curious,” Warsame said. “Had I not had that early on, I don’t think I could ever have written this book … encouraging that intellectual curiosity — that it should exist. …With a black and white worldview, you’ll never hear anything but your own thinking.”

Loving You Wasn’t Enough will likely find its share of critics in various reading circles. Perhaps some Muslims will be offended by the mere concept of a same-sex relationship. Perhaps some lesbians will find she doesn’t write directly enough about such a romance. Warsame knows she can’t satisfy everyone. She says she tried to avoid writing with any particular audience in mind; the exercise

was more a matter of releasing characters that had been trapped in her head.

The moral conundrum with which she first confronted her main character — a personal desire to pursue a singing career despite a familial obligation to become a doctor — Warsame decided was not an original dilemma. Since she knew of no one who had confronted homosexuality from a Muslim perspective, Warsame began to explore the storyline.

“We tend to put people in categories,” she said.

“The book has people of different backgrounds who aren’t supposed to connect that do connect at the core — they connect and find love.

That’s what humanity is about. … The story shows one of the most important

things that makes life beautiful — that’s love.”

And in the case of Ebyan, said Warsame, “she is in love with Noreen, but she is also in love with who she is, her faith, her family … you want to be kind to all your loves.”

So what of one of the likely criticisms, that her proposed romance does not step far enough into lesbian territory?

Warsame responded: “The attraction [between the main characters] was immediate. The aspect of sexual tension was there from the beginning. What is love for them? It was all explained through the soul for them. …it’s not necessary to complete their love. The most important to me was the aspect of love … not having an agenda.

“Love beyond the physical, a connection that transcends the physical … making love with eye contact, without even going there. For Ebyan and Noreen, that happened for them each time.”

Warsame added that she believes preoccupation with physical love prevents many critics of same-sex relationships from recognizing the transcendent love that glues partners together.

“People don’t see the love,” she said. “If you ask someone why they’re against it, the image goes straight to the sex. It takes away the human and the spiritual.” n

Dance Kaleidoscope performs “Girl at Piano: Recording Sound” (below) and “Georgia O’Keefe: Heart of Joy.” Dance Kaleidoscope: Picture This w There is a metamorphosis as a work matures, and one of the bonuses of being a long-time subscriber is finding oneself in the midst of that metamorphosis — i.e. the revival of two David Hochoy-choreographed pieces inspired by paintings at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. For “Girl at the Piano: Recording Sound” (1994), Hochoy constructed a story around the melancholy feel of Theodore Roszak’s titular painting. Jillian Godwin embodied the vicissitudes of the piece with such compelling honesty you wanted to reach out and snatch her from the clutches of her dysfunctional family.

Timothy June, Liberty Harris, Mariel Greenlee, Justin-David Sears-Watson, Brandon Comer, Noah

Trulock and Caitlin Negron matched mood and movement to Rachmaninoff’s richly textured Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op. 43. Barry Doss’s costumes were amazing, as was the set by Laura Freison, Doss and Frank Weiner.

Hochoy told me that he wished Roszak could have seen this performance. “I think he would be pleased,” he mused. We replied that somehow transcendence did take place.

With “Georgia O’Keefe: Heart of Joy” (2003), the dancers brought individuality to Hochoy’s vision of a floral landscape coming alive. Building upon three movements from Philip Glass’s Symphony No. 4 “Heroes,” the work moved from the framework of the painting “Jimson Weed” as a flowing interaction within itself, to a broadened landscape as flowers related to the elements. Glass’s music buzzed throughout with a sense of germination and re-creation.

It was a fast-moving, emotionally building exercise. Laura Glover’s subtle lighting interacted beautifully with Cheryl Sparks’ costumes.

A beautifully satisfying program, with the DK-IMA partnership as a fulcrum.

Being in the presence of the paintings at the IMA prior to the program was a boon.

Britten’s War Requiem q With his War Requiem, Benjamin Britten takes us into another realm for 85 minutes, during which time essentially stands still; we know we must breathe yet we are breathless. We know we are in real-time, yet we feel suspended in timelessness. We know we are sitting in a huge theater, yet we are elsewhere: on battlefields, in foxholes, at home with cannons, spitfire, drones and bombs overhead and upon us.

We are transfixed, transformed. We witness and lament. What will we do with this — this amazing 85 minutes with hundreds of human voices rising and falling with brass, timpani, drums, woodwinds, strings? A tour de force such as this performance demands, yes warrants, collective attention to do something equally significant.

We cannot simply walk away. “But let the holy standard-

bearer, Michael, / lead them into the holy light” asks Britten, via the poetry of Wilfred Owen. Who here and now will lead from dark destruction into life affirming light?

The Palladium gave the feel of being in a cathedral.

The voices of the Indianapolis Children’s Choir floated from the balcony over our heads. The combined voices of the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir, Butler University Chorale and Indianapolis Men’s Chorus projected to us from the back of the stage. And the players of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, along with the soloists, reached out and embraced us from the apron of the stage. Soprano Sinead Mulhern, tenor Thomas Cooley and baritone Christopheren Nomura earned special mention. Eric Stark conducted with assurance.

Jarmusch’s cool, decadent genre exercise is sweet in its own twisted way

B Y ED J O H N S O N -O TT EJO H N S O N O T T @ N U V O . N E T

n Jim Jarmusch’s Only Lovers Left Alive a depressed vampire looks with disdain on humanity. He refers to people as “zombies.” Once upon a time, vampires were monsters that hid in the dark, emerging to suck the blood from the living. But perspectives changed over time.

Now vampires are romantic figures; wise, refined and tragic in the grooviest way, while zombies — us — contaminate the waters and taint the blood supply. Zombies lumber across the landscape — clothing in tatters, bodies falling apart, ravenously seeking “Brains!

BRAINS!!,” mostly likely because they — we — don’t have any.

Is that the statement Jarmusch is making? Maybe. Maybe he’s just dicking around. Certainly he is offering a portrait of long-time love at least as interesting as Robert Michell’s recent Le Weekend.

Whatever he’s doing, it looks great.

My original plan for this essay was to not mention the word vampire until the last couple of paragraphs. I intended to draw you in by focusing on the hipster couple played by Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton, then surprise you with the fact that they were vampires. But I liked the vampire/zombie comparison better and decided to lead with that. I wonder how many readers rolled their eyes and turned their attention elsewhere when they saw that the film is, technically, yet another vampire flick?

Which brings us to what would have been the beginning of this piece. Adam (Hiddleston) and Eve (Swinton) have been a couple for … for long enough that one of their friends is Christopher Marlowe (John Hurt). Yes, that Christopher Marlowe.

Eve currently lives in Tangier, where

she immerses herself in literature, drifting the dark streets and savoring the minutiae of the city. She visits with Marlowe and they sip “the good stuff” out of crystal glasses and chat. She is thin, pale and both warm and cool.

Adam currently resides in what’s left of Detroit. The lean, pale, long-haired figure makes engagingly dissonant music on his guitar. An eager-to-please fan named Ian (Anton Yelchin) is his Renfield, taking care of Adam’s outside needs. Recently Ian was tasked with commissioning a bullet made with a hard wood center for his master.

Sensing Adam’s depression, Eve travels (via night flights) to Detroit to care for her lover. They fuck, dance, eat blood popsicles and go clubbing, driving

by Jack White’s childhood home along the way. Then Eve’s annoying teenage sister Ava (Mia Wasikowska) comes to visit and spoils the fun.

The story is thinner than the vampires, but the music is good, the atmosphere is rich in decadence and the acting is flawless. The tone may be hipster to the nth degree, but the characters are so specific that the film feels personal. I suspect some viewers will find the goings-on pretentious, boring and irksome.

I wanted to reject the film, but I liked spending time with these creatures.

I enjoyed visiting their wistful world and watching their love rise above the malaise. Only Lovers Left Alive is slight, gloomy, romantic, weirdly funny at times and sweet in its own twisted way. n

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 t Middle-of-the-pack blockbuster fare, though it has its moments. Good cast, tired story. Director Marc Webb, the man behind the indie favorite (500) Days of Summer, opts to focus more on interpersonal relationships than big action scenes. That would be fine, but the relationships have been covered so thoroughly that it’s hard to wring more emotion from them. Thank goodness Andrew Garfield (as Spidey) and Emma Stone (Gwen Stacy) have such a nice chemistry.

PG-13, In wide release Divergent r Did you see The Hunger Games? Well here it is again, more or less. This time the post-apocalyptic society has divided the population into groups based on dominant character traits. Young adults take tests that tell them what group would best suit them, but they decide for themselves which group to join. The government fears “divergents” — individuals that can function in any group. Young Tris (Shailene Woodley) is such a person.

In boot camp she encounters troubles — and intrigue — while getting acquainted with her tough-as-nails but dreamy instructor (Theo James). Kate Winslet plays the baddie. Lots of action, lots of angst. It’s fine for what it is.

Heaven is for Real y Based on the non-fiction book of the same name. A small-town couple (Greg Kinnear and Kelly Reilly) are stunned when their five-year-old son Colton (Connor Corum) talks about his trip to Heaven during a sort of near-death experience and calmly shares information about things that happened before he was born. The movie is even gentler than the hit book (for instance, movie-version Colton doesn’t mention that only believers of Jesus go to Heaven). As a film, Heaven is for Real is earnest but timid. But it clearly meant a great deal to the rapt audience at the screening I attended.

John Maloof, who found them, teams with Charlie Siskel, son of movie critic Gene Siskel, for the documentary that shares her exceptional street photographs.

The obsessive Maloof offers too many talking heads as he tries to uncover the truth about the stern, private Maier, who tells one of her charges, “I’m the mystery woman.”

That statement, and the photographs, is enough.

Le Week-End r Smart, tart and engaging, playing at times like a fourth installment of Richard Linklater’s Before Midnight/Sunset/ Sunrise series. a British couple (Jim Broadbent and Lindsay Duncan) heads to Paris for a long weekend in and around the hotel where they spent their honeymoon. If you don’t find the self-centeredness of this boomer couple tiresome, you’ll be rewarded with striking performances

by Broadbent, Duncan and interloper Jeff Goldblum, and a revealing look at the politics of a long-term marriage.

The Railway Man t Colin Firth stars as Eric Lomax, a British Army officer taken prisoner and brutally tortured by the Japanese during World War II, in this drama based on Lomax’s autobiography. Years later, he marries Patti (Nicole Kidman), but doesn’t share his nightmarish history. Eventually the truth comes out and the couple heads for Japan to confront the interpreter that assisted the torturers in questioning prisoners. The story is compelling, but its presentation is surprisingly stiff and even dull. Lomax’s story, especially the last part, deserves to be told better than this.

The Grand Budapest Hotel q A creation this engaging, funny, melancholic and agreeably odd deserves to be seen now — and on the big screen. It’s the eighth feature film by writer-director Wes Anderson, whose visual style I’ve compared to pop-up books, dioramas, dollhouses, puppet shows and ornate pastries. Aided immeasurably by Ralph Fiennes’ exceptional performance, the fanciful trappings and shifting spotlights somehow seem more genuine than the real world. Director Wes Anderson doesn’t just take viewers through the looking glass,

Transcendence i A scientist (Johnny Depp) working on creating a selfaware computer system gets uploaded into a supercomputer after techno-phobe activists shoot him with a radioactive bullet. Then he becomes power mad, because that’s what sentient computers do in dumb-ass movies and TV shows. Transcendence looks good, but the story is lousy and Johnny Depp spends most of the flick playing a talking head — Max Headroom without the fun parts. What a drag.

Food preservation expert Michaela Hayes takes over Black Market for a night

B Y J O L EN E K ETZEN BERG ER ED I T O R S @ N U V O . N E T

oured ramps? Chocolate sauerkraut cake? The menu at a recent “preservation” dinner at Black Market may sound challenging, but for fermentation fans who attended the meal and a pre-dinner workshop with food preservation expert Michaela Hayes, it was a sweet deal.

Hayes, founder of Brooklyn-based Crock & Jar, was in town at the request of Black Market co-owner Ed Rudisell, who has been corresponding with Hayes since he read a story in The New York Times in 2010 that mentioned the pickling expert. He has been hoping to entice her to Indianapolis to present a workshop since before Black Market opened, he said.

“We just didn’t know exactly how or when we’d be able to do it,” he said, “or if Black Market would end up being the kind of place where we could draw someone like her.”

Apparently, it is. Hayes’ April 30 workshop sold out, and the dinner was certainly a talker. She worked with Black Market executive chef and coowner Micah Frank to create a menu that included ginger beer, a Vietnamese fish soup with soured ramp greens, spicy dumplings, a deconstructed tempeh reuben, ginger-pickled beets with potatoes, yogurt and beef sausage and chocolate sauerkraut cake with coconut kefir ice cream.

Hayes now leads her company, Crock & Jar, as chief food preservationist, but when Rudisell first emailed her, she was working at New York’s Gramercy Tavern on the “pickling station,” a position that Gramercy executive chef/ partner Michael Anthony created for her. The spot allowed her to explore the possibilities of fermentation and food preservation.

“The restaurant was my playground in a way,” Hayes said.

She started out pickling a variety of ingredients, things like chard stems that might otherwise be thrown away.

She experimented with different varieties of sauerkraut, then moved on to kimchi, even though she figured there wasn’t much chance of getting it on the menu. “But they used it,” she said.

MORE INFO AND RECIPES: (including the recipe for chocolate sauerkraut cake), go to www.crockandjar.com.

Still, there wasn’t a universal appreciation for her pickled and fermented creations. “There were some cooks who were super psyched about the pickles and ran with them,” she said. “Others, it was really challenging for them to think about how to use these on the menu.”

For Hayes, a 42-year-old Kansas City native who has a background in art, pickles and other fermented foods were “another paint on your palette.”

After leaving Gramercy Tavern, Hayes and her wife relocated temporarily to California in 2010. But fermentation was everywhere there, and Hayes resolved to bring it back to make her mark on the East coast.

So she took a business course, then launched her company, Crock & Jar, in summer 2011. Hayes started by sell-

ing sauerkraut, which she says is a good entry point for the fermentationcurious. “It’s a great canvas,” she said.

“If you mix cabbage with salt, it will pretty much take care of itself. It’s pretty forgiving. You can use that cabbage as a base, and then add whatever flavor profiles that you want to.”

Hayes demonstrated how to make pickled ramps and a chili and turmeric sauerkraut at the Black Market workshop. She says interest in fermentation continues to grow: “I feel like people are getting more in touch with their food system. I think people are getting more and more excited.”

Rudisell certainly is. He and Hayes have already talked about another workshop and dinner at Black Market, perhaps making it an annual event. “It’s something that we’re really interested in and passionate about,” he said. “There are so many avenues to take for future workshops.” n Jolene Ketzenberger covers local food at EatDrinkIndy.com.

MORE FUN WITH FERMENTATION No need to wait for Michaela Hayes’ next trip to Indy. Here are local places to find fermentation experts (and some tasty kombucha).

Agrarian Urban Homestead & Supply Agrarian is a one-stop shop (or at least a knowledgeable place to start) for all things sustainable: food, including chicken farming, beekeeping, rainwater harvesting, vermicomposting, raised bed gardening — and, of most relevance here, canning and lacto-fermentation. Beware: the store owners take a multi-disciplinary approach, hoping to convert chicken farmers into, say, beekeepers or mushroom farmers (and can send interested parties home with a mushroom log).

661 E. 49th St., 938-1199, agrarianindy.com Fermenti Artisan Chefs Joshua Henson and Mark Cox have 20-plus years in the food industry, but it wasn’t until the late ‘00s that they became interested in fermented and cultured foods.

They’re both certified healing-foods specialists who can tell you all the reasons their food is good for you.

And they’re fiercely loyal to local foods — their meats typically come from The Smoking Goose or Rhodes Family Farm, and they have a “onestate-away” policy for all cheeses.

Stop in for a bite to eat, and you can also taste one of their on-draft pours of kombucha (fermented tea) or water kefir (cultured flavored water — like a mild tart soda).

Starter kits are available, classes are offered on a regular basis (you may have just missed a

bunch of free ones for homebrewers on May 3’s Big Brew Day). And Great Fermentations has stayed current by offering classes on, for instance, mead-making. (Don’t forget that New Day Meadery is your best bet for meads or honey wines, which are also, of course, the products of fermentation.)

Mayor Greg Ballard demonstrates proper bikesharing technique.

INDY’S NEW BIKESHARE PROGRAM The city of Indianapolis has launched a massive new bike share program along the downtown cultural trail. This new bike program aligns citywide initiatives such as alternative transportation utilization and public health improvement.

The bikeshare, sponsored by the Indiana Pacers, peppers the downtown area with 250 bikes available to rent at 25 different stations along the cultural trail.

The Wuhan and Hangzhou bikeshare programs located in China are the world’s largest, with approximately 90,000 bikes. The Vélib’ in Paris, which contains 20,000 bicycles and 1,450 bicycle stations, is the second largest program outside of China. Indianapolis’s commitment to the biking community has grown exponentially over recent years and the city even gained complete streets recognition (a transportation accolade) by components of the national media.

Biking is one of the best and easiest methods to green one’s personal lifestyle. The practice promotes a reduction in our carbon footprints, getting active and exercising, a sense of community, and maybe the most appealing benefit ... saving money.

There are no toxic batteries or fossil fuels needed for energy, and a single bicycle can last nearly a lifetime.

The Herbert Simon Family Foundation funded the startup costs and will fund the ongoing operations. Another $1 million was given by the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality, which is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (Benbow, 2014). As Bike to Work day approaches, it is important to remain mindful of the little things that individuals can practice that can make a big difference: The EPA states that leaving your car at home twice a week can cut greenhouse gas emissions by 1,600 pounds per year (EPA, 2014).

Most residents of Indianapolis realize that this is a car heavy, commuter city that is lacking 24 INDIANA LIVING GREEN // 05.07.14 - 05.14.14 // 100% RECYCLED PAPER // NUVO

Attendees were treated to a meal of locally-sourced veggies, salad, chicken and cheesecake, along with remarks from Mayor Greg Ballard and John Montgomery, author of Great from the Start, a guidebook to building what Montgomery calls “conscious corporations.” Montgomery referred to Indy a “conscious city,” an urban example of the concepts laid out in his book — essentially, an organization that gives the needs of the community the same value as the needs of its investors.

The 2014 Winners are First Devington Apartment Homes, BWI, LLC (Economic Category); Indy Urban Acres — part of the Indianapolis Parks Foundation (Social Category); and the Farm Co-op of Distalreth Farms (Environmental Category). More info on the winners can found at indy.gov/eGov/City/DPW/ SustainIndy/Pages/SustainIndyHome.aspx.

The evening’s festivities were hosted by WTHR meteorologist Angela Buchman, who was responsible for awarding door prizes that included a year-long free pass to Indy’s new bikeshare program and a weekend-long test-drive of a high-performance all-electric Tesla automobile.

INDIANA Q:

Is there protected land, other than State Parks, in Indiana?

— ANNE

ASK RENEE ASKRENEE@ INDIANALIVINGGREEN.COM

A:

Fun Facts for the day: Indiana in comprised of 23,307,520 acres of land and water.

More than half (approximately 14.7 million) of those acres are used for farming. And an estimated 118,872 acres – about .5% - of Indiana’s land is protected.

Indiana Living Green featured an article, “Explore Indiana: Land Trusts,” in May 2013, where you can learn about various land trusts and their projects. Want to learn even more?

The Nature Conservancy in Indiana is kicking off their second Generation Conservation Giving Tree on May 10 at their super green downtown Indy HQ. Participants are invited on three field trips — this year’s include trips to Teeple Glade, Big Walnut and Teft Savanna — and at the end of their adventures, they vote on a project to receive their pooled resources. Chris and I were involved last year and visited three parts of the state we’ve never seen before, where we learned to identify a few native wildflowers, met like-minded conservationists, gathered native plant seeds, caught (and released) a tiny frog, learned about controlled burns, and got a little closer to the meaningful work of The Nature Conservancy.

As you may imagine, maintaining 118,872 acres is a lot of work, especially with the growing number of invasive plants we have in Indiana — garlic mustard, for example. Most land trusts have volunteer opportunities, link Central Indiana Land Trust’s work day this Saturday and The Nature Conservancy’s work days the next two Saturdays. Visit the web site of a land trust near you to learn how you can help.

Native plants provide nourishing and protective habitat for local insects and other wildlife. They are also better adapted to the local soil and climate, which means they need less water and fertilizer than many non-native plants, and do not invade natural areas like some imported plants.

INPAWS is hosting their annual Plant Sale & Auction on May 10 — just in time for Mother’s Day! You may also consider creating a Certified Wildlife Habitat in your yard.

Q:

When I owned my home I recycled everything. Now I live in an apartment which means the only drop off points are some distance away and I have no place to keep things long enough to make a trip worth while. Any suggestions?

— JIM

A:

These days I’d be surprised if you live, work or run errands terribly far away from a recycling drop-off location. Collection bins at parks, grocery stores, and recycling centers are sprinkled throughout the city and state. You can use Indiana Recycling Coalition’s EcoPoint to look for a drop-off near you.

You could also use this as an opportunity to engage the rest of your apartment community.

Get a small group of residents to join forces to ask your property manager to provide recycling.

For a nominal fee (or maybe sometimes not!), I believe any office or building could have fullservice recycling. Suggest that they contact Ray’s, Republic, AbiBow, or RecycleForce to learn about the cost, equipment and service.

I hope you’re also implementing some reduce and reuse strategies so maybe there’s less to recycle. Please don’t give up!

ENTER THE WOLF MAN

CHRISTIAN TAYLOR AND THE AMPERSAND BLUES BAND AMPERSAND BLUES BAND

GLORYHOLE RECORDS

Blues rock virtuoso Reignwolf back in Indy

e Christian Taylor truly is a force to be reckoned with.

For years, the Fountain Square native’s matchless songwriting has mesmerized minds, whether it’s with the Indiana rock and roll classic America Owns The Moon or his accompanying Homeschool crew. And now, a new direction. Taylor finds himself headed down a boulevard of bluesy grit and genuine wit with this Ampersand Blues Band cassette. Released via GloryHole Records, Ampersand Blues Band contains seven songs written and performed by Taylor, with large instrumental contributions from guitarist and composer Derek Johnson, who also produced and engineered the collection of songs at his JoHNsoNgs studio in Fountain Square.

With Ampersand Blues Band, Taylor’s mystic wisdom prevails once again, as the seasoned songwriter hands the reigns over to his bold imagination, combining creative forces with Johnson’s professional expertise on this fantastic collection of blues tunes. Taylor’s opening short prayer for desert rain is quickly followed by “Dangling Want,” a rampant rock tune drenched in blues crunch. “Pickin’ my nose like a banjo,” groans Taylor as he tears through the cassette’s most torrent track. Returning to a rich hum on “BTW Biloxi,” Taylor whips out his toy harmonica and calls upon the beautiful backing coos of Lisa Berlin (Hen, Everthus the Deadbeats, Jookabox). The blues train keeps on a’rollin’ with “Sun @ Night” and “Back 2 the Beat,” eventually slowing down for a finger-picking pit stop on “D D & B B.,” featuring upright bass work from Nate Hammond.

Ampersand Blues Band concludes with an impressive piece of organically fashioned rock and roll, a concise little example of Taylor and Johnson’s inventiveness. While recording the cassette’s impressive closer, “Cryin’ Unto Thee,” Johnson and Taylor found themselves down a drum kit, so they decided to record percussion using what they had readily available to them: stomping feet, a broom, a music stand, a pair of boots.

Paired with Taylor’s powerful vocals and snarling guitar, the track’s raw energy and imaginative build perfectly cap off this excellent cassette release. ­— SETH JOHNSON Christian Taylor and The Ampersand Blues Band with TV Mike and The Scarecrows Thursday, May 8, Indy CD and Vinyl, 806 Broad Ripple Ave., 6 p.m., FREE, all-ages

B Y K A TH ERI N E CO P L EN KC O P L E N @ N U V O . N E T

stumbled into my first Reignwolf show some First Friday a year or so ago whilewandering through the caverns of the Murphy. I left, a mere 45 minutes later, a changed woman.

Well, at least a little changed. And fully entranced by the shredding blues rock devil I’d just seen prowl every inch of the teeny lounge stage. Reignwolf­– legal name, Jordan Cook – dominated that show (and the hundreds since) with pure rock energy.

He snarled, he ripped, he played guitar and drums and sang, all at once. It was majestic, and a little bit scary. He’s a monster performer. He’s a wolf man.

I’m not the only one in the grip of full-on Reignwolf fever. Cook and crew (drummer Texas Jo and bassist Stitch) receive only the most glowing of show reviews – and I’d mention their album reviews here, if they actually had an album to review. They’ve been embraced so heartily and quickly that there wasn’t any time to finish a full-length in the studio before they were swept up

by Black Sabbath as a tour opener. They’ll rejoin the Prince of Darkness in Europe after a set of headlining shows, including one in Indianapolis on Saturday.

It’s expected that a performer like Cook, he of the eerily prodigious chops and extra-manic stage presence, would have previous brushes with stardom.

Perhaps unexpected, though, is that his first successes came when he was smaller than the guitar he was playing. In his pre-Wolf days, Cook was a pint-sized Canadian guitar prodigy. I grabbed a few minutes with Cook to chat about those early days while Reignwolf was setting up to play in Tulsa.

ber that. I even failed a year of school because I was out playing gigs when I was like 6 or 7 years old. Seriously. My teacher called my parents, and was like, “Look, he’s not doing his work. What is it?” I was drawing guitars in math books, and the whole bit. So basically, I’ve never spent a minute not playing music.

It’s always been the only thing I’ve ever really done.

NUVO: Your KEXP session has been passed around a lot, perhaps in lieu of an album. How’d you pick Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain” as a cover for that session?

COOK: This mandolin [that Cook plays on that song] was a gift from my parents a few years back, and I’d never really seen anybody use on of these before. [“The Chain”] was the first thing I played when I got it. Honestly, it wasn’t like I went looking for a cover. It just happened that way. It was the first thing I played on the instrument when I got it. It was my first reaction to how to play a mandolin for some reason! The KEXP was probably the first time I’d played that out live.

NUVO: When can we expect a release from you?

NUVO: Did I read that you started playing guitar when you were 2?

JORDAN COOK: Yeah! My dad played music, so it was just simple to pick it up.

It was just always around, kind of like the biggest toy in my house.

NUVO: Do you ever remember not playing?

COOK: That’s the thing – I don’t remem-

COOK: Probably the first time I ever performed, which was at a jam session in Saskatoon [Canada], where I was born.

Basically there used to be all these great bands that would travel through. My dad would take me to go see them because they had this matinee jam session. I would just get up on stage with all these awesome bands. Because they would see this kid standing in front of the stage, staring them down, usually that just meant they’d get me up there and see what happened.

That would be my first memory, and I’d say I was about 5 or 6 years old, the first time I kind of performed.

COOK: To be honest, if we ever get off tour!

We’re basically touring like crazy. At the same time, I’ve been doing some mixing from the road. We’ll hopefully have something quite soon. But good things take time. Within this year, we’ll definitely have our debut record. It’s an unbelievable thing going out on an arena tour with a band like Black Sabbath and not even having released our first record. To be honest, in a way, that means just as much to me as getting out there in front of that many people. Just the fact that they would have that much respect and support towards us.

Because they don’t need to do that. They can have any band they want. n

REVIEWS VACATION CLUB HEAVEN IS TOO HIGH

MAGNETIC SOUTH

w The first full-length for Fountain Square’s Vacation Club has been a long time coming, but they’ll finally premiere Heaven Is Too High, recorded at Magnetic South Studios in Bloomington, at a show this Friday at the White Rabbit.

The album is important not only because it’s the band’s first full-length vinyl release (one that will have national distribution after the May 27 street date via Bloomington-based Secretly Canadian) but also because it spans two eras of the band’s history.

Shortly after the release of their self-titled 2012 EP, original bassist Brandon Jackson left the band, to be replaced by Joey Shepard for a while (and on some tracks on Heaven), but ultimately by journeyman guitarist Mitchell Duncan. On Heaven, they’ve re-recorded three songs from the EP and laid down eight of their road-tested classics.

The Fountain Square psych-rock fever that peaked in the summer of 2012 left its mark on the band, but they’ve stayed true to their roots: taking pop song structure and making it psychotic. Lead singer Sam Thompson’s eerie, bubblegum voice butts against against searing, distorted guitar work throughout. Playful romps like “Bus Driver”

Thinking back, it was some night in late November when I found myself at Radio Radio reviewing yet another hazy rock show. This one was headlined by Montreal’s Besnard Lakes; the night’s crowd was slightly skimpy, but I guess that’s to be expected on the eve of Thanksgiving. Leading up to the show I had done my usual research on the acts — admittedly more so on the headlining out-of-towners.

In hindsight, it was local openers Street Spirits that really got me drooling. Yeah, those Canadian dudes were cool and all, but Todd Heaton’s ambient dream pop was what left me hungry for more. I was ready for a fulllength then and there.

But we all know what they say about good things and waiting, and all that. Thankfully no longer: Victoria’s River, the debut full-length from Street Spirits arrived this week, showcasing Heaton and Co.’s masterful knack for creating cavernous pop gold. Recorded by his brother Wesley (who also plays on the album and in the group’s live lineup) at Queensize Recording Studio, the album’s atmospheric enchantment holds throughout all ten tracks of the release, which provide an excellent twist on the traditional dream pop sound.

For Todd (KO, Our Imaginary Friends, PONS), this dream pop venture began as a solo project in 2011 with an EP titled, Todd Heaton’s Street Spirits. Written and recorded in a small studio apartment in Woodruff Place,

and “Oh, Patty” harken back to that pre-2012 era, while on other tracks like “Hound” (which pushes the album a degree or two darker) and “Boiled,” (a spooky, disjointed, amorphous thing) they open up into scarier — and more intriguing — territory.

Noteworthy is the cut “Landon is a Rider,” a testament to the shared inspiration and incestuous musical relationships between Fountain Square bands. The lyrics are a letter to Landon Caldwell – of Learner Dancer, now Burnt Ones who moved to San Francisco last year – but the song itself has a long genealogy. Mitchell Duncan first wrote it for his side project, Psychic Feel, well before he joined Vacation Club. Then Vacation Club grabbed onto it for a while before Learner Dancer (Duncan’s then-band) took it and recorded it as “Dark Glow” on their 2012 self-titled album. Now, Vacation Club has taken it back once again.

But most interesting is the album’s epic final track, “Rats as Rats,” the moment where the band breaks through into something completely new. The song opens with a ripping, pulsating guitar chord. Enter Jered Sheline’s rollicking drums and Thompson’s angsty whine, and the tension builds. And it’s there, in the bridge, just as the jamming, slicing guitars give way to a thick bass note and a masterfully manipulated guitar riff by Jeb Lambert, that the sublime moment comes. It’s as if the band’s entire, unified energy is poured into one note. ­— GRANT CATTON the release’s central themes were derived from suburban teen experiences.

With Victoria’s River, Heaton again welcomes listeners into his wistful echo chamber, this time, inviting others in the process to bring us this excellent collection of glimmering pop goodness. Mixed mostly

by Tyler Watkins (Margot and The Nuclear So and So’s) and mastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road, the soundscapes Heaton lays out on Victoria’s River are polished beautifully, making this release a true treat.

The album’s opening “Intro” meets the listener with swells of spacious beauty. It’s one of three well-constructed instrumentals on Victoria’s River; the fluttering track leads into “Alone And In Love,” an album standout, which ultimately reaches a peak of ghostly “oo’s” and gusting echoes. One of the album’s two interludes follows Heaton’s opening movement. In the case of Victoria’s River, Heaton’s use of interludes is tactfully meditated, crystalizing the album. A few tracks later lies a sweet little number called “She Loves Everyone,” featuring glittery keys and bouncy rhythm.

The album closes out with a few of Heaton’s older songs (four of which were revamped for this album). “I saw your shadow and told you to come down,” he sings on “Your Love,” a darkly tinged track that culminates with perfect screeching feedback. Next, “Killed It” appropriately concludes the stellar release, as Heaton yet again entrances the listener with swirling gusts of cavernous magic.

The wait was worth it for this stellar local release. ­— SETH JOHNSON

GROUNDHOG’S DAY

xactly 20 years ago this week, Indy mayor Bill Hudnut proclaimed May 6 Groundhog’s Day in our city.

Hudnut’s gesture wasn’t directed toward Punxsutawney’s famous four-legged marmot. Rather, the distinction was intended to pay honor to pianist Erroll “Groundhog” Grandy, one of Indy’s most historically significant musicians.

I understand if Erroll Grandy’s name doesn’t ring familiar to most readers.

Grandy’s fame has never come close to equaling his importance in jazz, and, sadly, his legacy remains virtually unknown outside the world of music historians.

In many ways 1984’s “Grandy Day” proclamation was an attempt to set that discrepancy straight. The occasion also served as a fundraiser for the ailing musician.

“Erroll plays with his right hand because a nerve disorder keeps him from using his left,” jazz authority and veteran radio host Ralph Adams told the Indianapolis Recorder in a period article previewing the 1984 “Grandy Day” event. “He is almost blind, and all his relatives are gone. He lives in a small apartment in the 2500

prime years of Indianapolis jazz, frequently backing big name stars like Billie Holliday, Dinah Washington and Lionel Hampton as they toured through the Midwest.

Today, Grandy is remembered by jazzconnoisseurs for mentoring some of the genre’s greats, a role that’s prompted some to label Grandy as the “Godfather of Indianapolis jazz.” Wes Montgomery, Alonzo “Pookie” Johnson, Slide Hampton, J.J. Johnson, Leroy Vinegar and Freddie Hubbard are just a few of the legends who studied under Grandy’s tutelage.

WEDNESDAY ROOTS Nickel Creek, The Secret Sisters The Grammy Award–winning, multi-platinum selling trio Nickel Creek is having a very re-united summer, teaming up officially for the first time since its 2007 self-described “indefinite hiatus” with a new album, A Dotted Line, released in April.

“Maybe most surprising of all is how [our new songs] are still evolving,” Sara said. “That’s even right down to technical things. We’re doing rehearsals before the tour starts and resampling a bunch of stuff from the album for the drums. We want to get even closer and more dialed in to the album sounds. I think that more than any other record, we’re sort of obsessive about wanting this to sound as close to the album version as possible.

I don’t think we’ve obsessed as much about other records. There’s been more flexibility; which I think is really fun, and there’s still so many songs in our set that aren’t under the same scrutiny as the Heartthrob songs.”

Sweet Poison Victim

ROOTS Tim Jones, David Moore, Chad Mills After five years of non-stop touring with Americana rockers Truth & Salvage, Co., Tim Jones and the rest of the group decided to give themselves a six-month break. The band’s mix of whiskey soul, 70’s rock, heart-on-the-sleeve lyrics and backyard party rock and roll has found an audience thanks to regular visits to Indy, headlining numerous club shows and opening for the Avett Brothers at White River State Park. Still, the current break allows Indianapolis’ Jones, who formed the T&SCo in Los Angeles in late 2005, to return to his home state, revisiting songs of both his current and former bands with a solo show Saturday. David Moore and Chad Mills open the show. Moore’s time with Jones goes back to the day when both were in high school and Moore’s band, Split Lip (which later became Chamberlain), and Jones’ band, Planet Earth (that later became Old Pike), played shows together.

They’ve been best friends ever since.

When I caught up with Tim in late April, he was pleased to see flowers in the front yard of his Tennessee home, and looking forward to a trip back to the Hoosier state.

NUVO: What material have you been playing to get ready for the show here in Indy?

JONES: I miss playing shows, which is why I booked this one. I’ve written more songs in the last six months than I have in the past two years.

So I have brand new ones I want to play. I’ll play every song that I sing on the two Truth & Salvage, Co. records, a couple Old Pike gems and then at the end, David, John Byrne and I will be closing the show with 32 MUSIC // 05.07.14 - 05.14.14 // 100% RECYCLED PAPER // NUVO

DR. DEBBY HERBENICK & SARAH MURRELL Waiting on a Ring A pharmacist friend contacted me recently to ask about NuvaRings. He has heard situations at his pharmacy regarding women sharing NuvaRings like they’re clean, unused condoms or something. I know NuvaRings aren’t sperm-forcefields, but could you explain the science behind what they do? ­— Anonymous, from Tumblr

How do I convince my husband to try a polyamorous relationship? We’ve been together for more than I decade and I am bored with our sex life. To make matters worse, I’ve hit what I consider my sexual peak. I want sex all the time! Of course my husband is thrilled with this development but I have become unfulfilled with our current monogamous relationship and would like to try new things. ­— Anonymous, from Tumblr SARAH: I read this question no less than 10 times, searching for the chunk that was missing. It was kind of like reading, “My car won’t start. What’s the easiest way to push it off a cliff?” Which isn’t to say that poly relationships can’t be equally as fulfilling or even more than the ol’ monogamy cruise to Partner Town, but the act of bringing someone else into the bedroom besides your husband isn’t one that should be taken lightly. I would caution you against bringing in any partners based on some sense of something “missing” in your relationship with your husband, because under those circumstances, it’ll probably make him feel like shit. First, work out the situation with your husband and involve him as much as you can, and only enter into the realm of polyamory when you can communicate all of your feelings, anxieties, and joys of consensual polyamorous sex.

DR. D: Sexual boredom is common and not always the best reason to go poly (that is, to have more than one lover or partner), but it is true that some people start thinking about it because of that. A researcher I knew who had interviewed many poly folks felt that some of the more satisfied couples started not because they were at a breaking point or super bored but because they had so much love and enjoyment of their sexuality that they wanted to share it with others. You might trying checking out books together such as Opening Up or The Ethical Slut and talking about it.

These books present many different ways of being poly so that you can explore and see if one feels right to you. Also, connecting with a local poly community could be helpful to you to meet people and ask how they manage jealousies and communication and having multiple lovers or partners.

SARAH: Incorrect. In fact, NuvaRings are what help the Moon Goddesses re-sync with the orbital cycles when their Moon Energy has been drained by jerks. The Moon Goddesses wear the ring around their cervix through the waning crescent, then remove it and weave it into their hair and sleep on it for five nights during the new moon, and they beam back up to the moon during this time, from their cervix, through their Moon Crown (or “NuvaRing” as it’s branded) and it re-aligns their lunar energy, which allows them to re-enter the Sensual Forest while maintaining grown invisibility from the predatory Oh Shit Stork (Ciconia Fuhkupeurkareeria). Another way you could say that is it’s just a different delivery system of hormonal birth control that allows you to not have to deal with pills. The crown bit is just a fun way to get an overstayed houseguest or one night stand out quickly, and that’s called value.

DR. D: I haven’t heard of women sharing NuvaRings. This would definitely be the wrong way to use them and they wouldn’t work this way (meaning, they wouldn’t work to prevent pregnancy). The NuvaRing is an innovative birth control method. It’s a flexible ring that a woman can squish together with her fingers, insert into her vagina (toward the back, where there are less nerve endings, so that similar to tampons it is not noticeable inside her as she goes about her day). The ring is worn 24 hours a day for 3 weeks, then removed for her hormone-free week during which she should have her period. The hormones are released while the ring is in, so removing it (or sharing it) is a no-no.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Fireworks displays excite the eyes and lift the spirit. But the smoke and dust they produce can harm the lungs with residues of heavy metals.

The toxic chemicals they release may pollute streams and lakes and even groundwater. So is there any alternative?

Not yet. No one has come up with a more benign variety of fireworks. But if it happens soon, I bet it will be due to the efforts of an enterprising Aries researcher. Your tribe is entering a phase when you will have good ideas about how to make risky fun safer, how to ensure vigorous adventures are healthy, and how to maintain constructive relationships with exciting influences.

wolves had all but vanished. In the following decades, elk herds grew unnaturally big, no longer hunted by their natural predator. The elk decimated the berry bushes of Yellowstone, eating the wild fruit with such voracity that grizzly bears and many other species went hungry. In 1995, environmentalists and conservationists got clearance to reintroduce wolves to the area. Now the berry bushes are flourishing again. Grizzlies are thriving, as are other mammals that had been deprived. I regard this vignette as an allegory for your life in the coming months, Libra. It’s time to do the equivalent of replenishing the wolf population.

Correct the imbalance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Free jazz is a type of music that emerged in the 1950s as a rebellion against jazz conventions. Its meter is fluid and its harmonies unfamiliar, sometimes atonal. Song structures may be experimental and unpredictable. A key element in free jazz is collective improvisation -- riffing done not just by a featured soloist, but by the entire group of musicians playing together. To prepare for your adventures in the coming days, Taurus -- which I suspect will have resemblances to free jazz -- you might want to listen to music by its pioneers, like Ornette Coleman, Charles Mingus, and Sun Ra. Whatever you do, don’t fall prey to scapabobididdilywiddilydoobapaphobia, which is the fear of freestyle jazz.

you listening closely to the voices in your head.

Although there might be some weird counsel flowing from some of them, it’s also possible that one of those voices might have sparkling insights to offer. As for the voices that are delivering messages from your lower regions, in the vicinity of your reproductive organs: I’m not opposed to you hearing them out, either. But I hope you will be most attentive and receptive to the voices in your heart. While they are not infallible, they are likely to contain a higher percentage of useful truth than those other two sources.

most valuable companies in America. In third place, worth more than $350 billion, is Google. Back in 1999, when the future Internet giant was less than a year old, Google’s founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page tried to sell their baby for a mere million dollars. The potential buyer was Excite, an online service that was thriving at the time.

But Excite’s CEO turned down the offer, leaving Brin and Page to soldier onward by themselves. Lucky for them, right? Today they’re rich and powerful. I foresee the possiNew Age & Curiosities • Classes & Readings bility of a comparable development in your life, Gemini.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “You can’t have your cake

and eat it, too” is an English-language proverb. It means that you will no longer have your cake if you eat it all up. The Albanian version of the adage is “You can’t go for a swim without getting wet. “ Hungarians say, “It’s impossible to ride two horses with one butt.” According to my analysis, Cancerian, you will soon disprove this folk wisdom. You will, in effect, be able to eat you cake and still have it. You will somehow stay dry as you take a dip. You will figure out a way to ride two horses with your one butt.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I know this might come as a

There’s so much primal mojo flowing through you that it will be hard if not impossible for you to make mistakes. Don’t fret, though. Your stint as the Wild Sublime Golden Master of Reality probably won’t last for more than two weeks, three tops. I’m sure that won’t be long enough for you to turn into a raving megalomaniac with 10,000 cult followers.

It’s twilight. A warm breeze feels good. You turn to your older self and say, “Do you have any regrets? Is there anything you wish you had done but did not do?” Your older self tells you what that thing is. (Hear it now.) And you reply, “Tomorrow I will begin working to change all that.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Kangaroo rats live in

the desert. They’re at home there, having evolved over millennia to thrive in the arid conditions. So welladapted are they that they can go a very long time without drinking water. While it’s admirable to have achieved such a high level of accommodation to their environment, I don’t recommend that you do something comparable. In fact, its probably better if you don’t adjust to some of the harsher aspects of your environment. Now might be a good time to acknowledge this fact and start planning an alternate solution.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Those who control their passions do so because their passions are weak enough to be controlled,” said writer William Blake. I think you will challenge this theory in the coming weeks, Capricorn. Your passions will definitely not be weak. They may even verge on being volcanic. And yet I bet you will manage them fairy well. By that I mean you will express them with grace and power rather than allowing them to overwhelm you and cause a messy ruckus. You won’t need to tamp them down and bottle them up because you will find a way to be both uninhibited and disciplined as you give them their chance to play.

Will you listen to me if I suggest that you take off the mask that’s stuck to your face and make funny faces in the mirror?

You need a nice long nap, gorgeous. Two or three nice long naps. Bake some damn cookies, even if you’ve never done so.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Dear Pisceans: Your evil twins have asked me to speak to you on their behalf. They say they want to apologize for the misunderstandings that may have arisen from their innocent desire to show you what you had been missing. Their intent was not at all hostile or subversive. They simply wanted to fill in some gaps in your education. OK? Next your evil twins want to humbly request that you no longer refer to them as “Evil Twin,” but instead pick a more affectionate name, like, say “Sweet Mess” or “Tough Lover.” If you promise to treat them with more geniality, they will guarantee not to be so tricky and enigmatic.
