Re: “Review: Chimaera’s Attic”

The last sentence in Dan Grossman’s review of the Primary Colors show is ignorant, pointless, and narrow minded. Just sayin.

From @Aaron_S_Coleman on Twitter

[Editor’s note: The last sentence in Grossman’s review was “I can’t help but think that a show of all-male artists, riffing on the same subject matter, might have been ten times as sexualized but half as interesting.”]

Re: “Bicycle Diaries of a Big Girl: The excuses we make”

Thanks for the mention of the Courteous Mass Ride. Let me correct you however in that it’s moved to the second Thursday at 6 p.m. as to better fit everyone’s schedule. Thus freeing up Fridays for all the wonderful things you can ride your bike to these days. Keep up the riding! It’s its own reward!

HAMMER Hammer hearts Lugar (In the primary, at least)

BY STEVE HAMMER SHAMMER@NUVO.NET

t’s no surprise to anyone who knows me, or has read my columns over the past 20 years, that I am proud to be a member of the Democratic Party, the party of Roosevelt, Kennedy and Obama. There are a multitude of reasons why. The last three Democratic presidents have either won or have been nominated for Nobel Peace Prizes; the last three Republican presidents have had to worry about being charged as international war criminals. Democrats bring economic prosperity; Republicans bring deficits, war and fear. I could, and have, gone on for days with additional reasons. But I will be voting in the Republican primary for the first time ever next month. Believe me, I’m not looking forward to aligning myself, even for a few minutes, with the party of repression, intolerance and war. But I need to cast my ballot for Richard Lugar, one of the few Republicans who is principled, honest and willing to work in a bipartisan manner. For reasons not entirely clear, he seems to be engaged in the fight of his life during this primary and is under attack by the teabaggers and their thugs. He needs all of our votes. Why Lugar, of all people, is being targeted by Republican extremists is unclear but his opponents are determined to see him gone and are spending millions of dollars in an effort to unseat him. All Hoosiers need to take a stance against the reactionary forces aligned against Lugar. Instead of challenging him in a primary race, Republicans should be praising him to the skies and holding him up as an example of wise leadership. He represents the highest aspirations of public service and duty to his country and may, perhaps, be the last moderate Republican allowed to remain in office. He has served not only his state but his nation with the highest degree of honor. Without his efforts, our foreign policy would be even more bungled and many more unaccounted nuclear weapons would be threatening world safety. The family farmers of America would be worse off than they are without their

friend and ally, Lugar, in the Senate. Before even becoming a senator, he ensured himself a place in Indiana history by presiding over the rebirth and revitalization of downtown Indianapolis. Without him, the city would not have been transformed from a sleepy Midwest capital to one of the most vibrant and economically competitive cities in the U.S. I haven’t agreed with every vote Lugar has cast in his more than 30 years in the Senate. He voted “guilty” in the impeachment trial of Bill Clinton, for example, and has consistently opposed progressive programs proposed by Democratic presidents. But since he is such a strong patriot, he’s also not afraid to support qualified Supreme Court picks by Democratic presidents. The only reason he falls short in the eyes of the teabagger extremists is that he actually thinks about issues before deciding where to stand on them. He’s not a flamethrower of rhetoric. He understands that wise legislation comes through discussion and compromise, an attribute that automatically disqualifies him in the minds of the extremists who control the modern Republican party. And how did those wishing to “Retire Lugar” decide on Richard Mourdock? Was his name drawn at random from a list of all Republican extremists? It would be one thing if Lugar faced the end of his career by being defeated by a superior candidate. But to be beaten by Richard Mourdock is like Michael Jordan being bested by Jamaal Tinsley. Mourdock appears to be opposed to farmers, ethanol, any kind of diplomacy and just about everything else, in fact. He’s in favor of lower taxes, lower gas prices and projecting American exceptionalism across the world from the barrel of a gun. What he really favors, though, is what all teabag Republicans favor: stopping President Obama, making sure the wealthiest people get tax breaks and making sure we are engaged in several unwinnable, unnecessary wars at once. In other words, the Bush Doctrine. Lugar has been a friend of Indiana since his beginnings in politics. His wise leadership, integrity and honesty have been a great asset of the state for decades. He deserves better than to be treated this way. In almost any other year, his opponent would be appropriately classified as a fringe extremist and ignored. But this is Indiana, where we take an almost perverse pride in electing lunatic politicians to office. Please let us keep the one noninsane politician, Dick Lugar, in office so he can continue to work hard for the people of Indiana.

Lugar has been a friend of Indiana since his beginnings in politics.

HOPPE A ‘Mad Men’ moment

Freedom and excess

BY DAVID HOPPE DHOPPE@NUVO.NET

here’s a scene from an early season of the television series Mad Men that haunts me. Mad Men, as you doubtless know, is about the lives and lusts of a group of people working in a Madison Avenue advertising agency during the early 1960s. The narrative revolves around a creative director named Don Draper, a man whose identity is based on a lie — he is, quite literally, not who he says he is. Draper’s unwillingness to come to grips with his background makes for a fraught family life with his wife, Betty, and their two young children. So it comes as a relief when, in one episode, we are presented with an idyllic picture of the Draper nuclear unit enjoying a picnic lunch on the slope of a grassy hill. We see the family from middle distance. They are finishing their meal; everyone appears smiling and carefree. This, you sense, is the kind of life moment the Drapers have always imagined for themselves. It’s like one of the TV commercials from the era, in which lovers share a slow-motion embrace in a meadow full of flowers. What haunts me about the scene is the way it ends. As the Drapers pack their picnic things, they blithely fling away their trash. Bits and scraps of newspapers used for wrapping sandwiches blow across the grass. Then they climb into Don’s Cadillac and drive away. This scene, of course, is a perfect metaphor, not just for the quality of the Draper’s lives, but their American era. After living through a Great Depression and a World War, the country was booming. Americans had more of everything than anyone else in the world. We had a feast of houses and food and cars and endless amounts of entertainment. We had so much, in fact, that we could waste it, could live as if someone else would pick up after us. If this wasn’t freedom, what was? The underlying theme of Mad Men — and the reason this series is about a lot more than the groggy joys of lunchtime martinis, office trysts and smoking three packs a day — is about what happens when people confuse freedom with excess. Freedom is a word that’s easily said, but hard to actually understand. It’s an abstraction that can mean different things to different people. Freedom means one thing if you live in a country that outlaws

blue jeans and rock and roll. It likely means something else to a person with unlimited Internet access and a Nordstrom’s charge account. But anybody can understand the freedom to throw their trash out a window, smoke or drink whenever and wherever they damn well please, or dump whatever bores them, be it a meal, an outfit or an unruly pet. It was in the ‘60s that rock bands began making a sport of trashing hotel rooms. Some bands were notorious for the lengths they’d go to in systematically ruining the spaces they rented for a night or two. Was it because the room service was bad, or the mattresses too lumpy? No, bands did it because they could. Their managers paid for the damages. This was freedom. America calls itself the land of the free. Lacking a definition for what this might actually mean — or the discipline to come up with one — we have, like the characters in Mad Men, hit the default button in favor of excess. Through various forms of government subsidy we have willfully manipulated our supposedly “free” marketplace to artificially suppress the prices we pay for fuel and food. We wonder why our air isn’t better or how so many of us got to be obese. But heaven help the fool with the impertinence to suggest that maybe, just maybe, we might be better off if the prices we paid for things reflected what they actually cost. The same thing applies to one of our most cherished freedoms, the freedom of speech. People pride themselves on being “free speech absolutists,” thereby lending cover to commercial interests that use this freedom to send heaping doses of graphically portrayed sexual violence into peoples’ homes via an increasing array of media at all hours. Whatever the consequences of this stuff may be, its purveyors say it’s not their problem. You see, the rest of us are free to steer clear of what they do — if, that is, we can. The poet William Blake once wrote words to the effect that we never know what’s enough until we experience too much. That is probably true. But the problem with defining freedom in terms of our excesses is that it substitutes imaginative impoverishment for genuine abundance. It doesn’t take imagination to keep doing the same thing again and again until exhaustion sets in. On the other hand, a creative leap is required to envision all that might be possible should we set about trying something really new. In Mad Men, Don Draper, quintessential imperial American male, goes to extraordinary lengths to maintain his false front. This front, he thinks, has liberated him from a suffocating past. We can see, though, that he’s running himself into the ground. Whether he has the capacity to change, whether, that is, Don can ever truly be free, remains to be seen.

Freedom is a word that’s easily said, but hard to actually understand.

THUMBSUP THUMBSDOWN THUMBS DOWN: THE DAMN MEDIA

To hear IPS Superintendent Eugene White tell it, if you think Indy’s school system is broken, thank the entire local press corps. All the progress Indy public schools have made in the past few years has been ignored, he told a packed audience Monday night during an ongoing series of discussions of Indy schools at Central Library. Interesting complaint from a man whose communications staff told NUVO last week that the superintendent could not make time for an interview anytime in the next month. (Bureaucracy in action? The mayor is easier to get a hold of than that!) All that aside, White’s central message squares with what many other engaged citizens know to be true, as well: If Indy is going to have truly great schools, the community must “get serious” about education — both within the walls of our schools and beyond.

CELEBRATE 420 AT THE STATEHOUSE

A thought for this year’s 420 celebrations: If you believe in the healing power of weed, if you see the economic benefits for Hoosier industry and farmland values, if you would rather stimulate the local economy than the merciless multinational gangsters now raking in the profits, if you’d rather pay sales tax to support local addiction recovery programs than income tax to pay for prisons, write your representatives and educate your neighbors. Many Hoosiers believe “Reefer Madness” propaganda. Be kind, help them see the green(back) alternatives. Marijuana need not be smoked and the narcotic level can be adjusted anywhere from non-existent to mind-melting. The plant can yield oil and fiber, as well. Indiana marijuana is some of the best on the planet. Let’s celebrate (and legalize) it!

SICKO SEX

Indiana is gaining a reputation for the way its women are treated — and it isn’t pretty. The most recent figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that one of every five women in Indiana has been raped. This comes after a 2010 CDC survey found that Indiana high school girls experienced the nation’s second-highest rate of forced sexual intercourse. Experts warn that sexual violence is an under-reported crime; the number of victims is likely much higher. Indiana University researchers recommend that officials strive for more effective surveying and data collection to guide prevention efforts. It also suggests schools should do more to promote healthy sexual norms. Such radical notions may run contrary so many Hoosier leaders’ long-standing preference for repression and abstinence training but the mounting social costs associated with our growing victim pool suggests that the status quo falls far short of acceptable.

Safe lawns, safer world

An interview with Paul Tukey BY K RI S S Y P R O F F IT T E DI T O RS @ N U V O . N E T People often hear that the health benefits of organic foods far outweigh those of processed or synthetic foods, but who knew this same principle applied to lawn care? Paul Tukey, founder of SafeLawns.org and author of the best-selling book The Organic Lawn Care Manual, knew and started to campaign for organic methods of lawn care for this very reason. Tukey’s natural approach to lawn care can improve the health of your yard, your family and the environment. He says, “We have unassailable evidence that a lot of the synthetic lawn and garden products that we use are toxic for kids and pets. They are certainly toxic for wildlife. They’re toxic for water. They pollute the air we breathe, and quite frankly, there’s no reason to use those products.” The effects of synthetic weed-killers and fertilizers are astounding. According to Tukey, the health impacts “range from everything from ADHD to autism to cancer to neurological impairment to endocrine disruption.” “If you look at the back of every synthetic lawn and care product every single one of the labels says caution, warning or danger, keep out of the reach of children. The mere fact that it has an EPA-registered label means that it’s inherently dangerous.” Synthetic lawn care products, such as Roundup and Weed & Feed, pose the greatest threats to young children because they roll around in the yard and constantly touch their hands to their mouths. “For this reason, it (the Safe Lawns movement) is being driven by young mothers primarily who are very concerned about poisoning their children.” Tukey says Canada is a shining example. “In the entire nation of Canada, you can’t apply Roudup and Weed & Feed, it’s against the law. If you’re a homeowner, you have to come to the United States and buy the stuff and bring it back to Canada illegally.” In order to create a safer environment, legislative changes are necessary, but change must also occur on an individual basis. Tukey urges all homeowners to reevaluate their methods of lawn

care and consider an organic, soilbased approach. Although many people equate the term “organic” with “expensive” or “unnecessary”, Tukey asserts organic lawn care can save people money and time. He says, “When you transition to organic maintenance, you mow less often, you water SUBMITTED PHOTO much much less Paul Tukey greens America’s often and you apply lawns fewer products.” The first step? Test your soil. “If the soil is completely dead and it’s only been growing grass or flowers or vegetables because of the synthetic products you’re putting into it and the soil doesn’t have the ability to grow things naturally, then you may have to take some remedial steps like adding in compost, adding in lots of organic fertilizer to get your soil back to life. That can be expensive in the first couple years, but if you’re averaging out the cost three or five years after the fact, you will save money time after time after time.” Another reason to hop on the organic lawn care bandwagon? The natural products are conveniently located in hardware stores, making them just as easy to purchase as synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. And why wouldn’t you purchase these instead of toxic chemicals? After all, Tukey says that organic lawn care is “safer for our kids, our pets and our planet.”

A&E FEATURE Shakespearean trifecta

‘Lost’ play launches state-of-art IUPUI theater BY RI T A K O H N E DI T O RS @N U V O . N E T “The Bard of Avon” is creating a stir on the IUPUI campus with a trifecta of research and performance. While each part of IUPUI’s Shakespeare initiative is significant as a stand-alone, together they are garnering international attention as a sterling example of “town-gown” collaborations. IUPUI’s newest campus-community arts and humanities buzz began in December 2009 with the public announcement that IUPUI would house the Oxford University Press project: “The New Oxford Shakespeare [NOS] combines the history of text technologies with the history of performance and will create an entirely new print and digital edition of Shakespeare’s complete works in multiple media formats for the twenty-first century.” This original research project will be published April 2016 to mark the 400th anniversary of the death of Shakespeare, and is led by three general editors, Gary Taylor, the George Matthew Edgar Professor of English and director of the History of Text Technologies program at Florida State University, John Jowett, professor of Shakespeare Studies and deputy director of the Shakespeare Institute at the University of Birmingham and of the Shakespeare Institute at Stratford-upon-Avon, and Terri Bourus, equity actor and IUPUI associate professor of English Drama. Bourus says she seized “the opportunity to be a central force in the new wave of Shakespeare studies because The New Oxford Shakespeare edition examines the plays of Shakespeare through the lens of performance.” This dynamic allows her to move between page (research) and stage (performance). Bourus oversees a staff of two assistants who are combing every reference to performances and entering them into a data bank. “The New Oxford Shakespeare will make careful use of all the surviving original documents, offering readers more choices than any previous edition,” explains Taylor. “With the click of a computer key, readers can choose text featuring Shakespearean spelling or modern spelling; print or digital presentation; and alternative early versions of some works, among other options.”

Hoosier Bard Productions

Segue to February 2011 and IUPUI’s announcement of the formation of Hoosier Bard Productions, the theatrical arm of the New Oxford Shakespeare linking an IUPUI student theatre group with the NOS project and the Indianapolis performing arts community. “[Audience members] become collaborators with Hoosier Bard and the NOS by helping us test new ideas about

what Shakespeare created, what excited Shakespeare’s first audiences, how [scripts] should be edited and performed, and what [they] mean to us today,” says Taylor. Hoosier Bard Productions staged the unfamiliar 1603 quarto text of Young Hamlet as its first production at Basile IndyFringe Theatre as, according to Bourus, who directed the play, “a perfect venue because its mission is to provide an accessible, affordable outlet that draws diverse elements of the community together and inspires creative experiences through the arts.” Written when Shakespeare was in his 20s, Hamlet in this first version is portrayed as a teenager and the script is only half as long as the more familiar version with an older Hamlet. “The response to the play was phenomenal,” recalls Bourus. “Young Hamlet tested in the laboratory of performance an unfamiliar and ‘suspect’ text, using many of the original performance practices of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries: minimal technology, frequent stageaudience interaction, no scenery, a mix of historical and “modern dress” costuming, cross-gender casting, live music, no breaks between scenes or acts.” The staging of Young Hamlet thus brings forward recent scholarship including a neglected understanding of the place held by young people in the social order of a community and of audience involvement in the development of Shakespeare’s scripts. “Hoosier Bard Productions brings a different perspective to live theater,” observes Taylor. Bourus adds, “Janet Allen, Bryan Fonseca and Pauline Moffat helped us formulate the best niche for an IUPUI troupe to fulfill.”

Storage to stage

Young Hamlet’s success propelled part three of the trifecta into high gear: reinventing the abandoned movie theater in the IUPUI Campus Center into a performance space that could showcase the world premiere of The History of Cardenio. This “lost” play by William Shakespeare and John Fletcher based on Cervantes’ Don Quixote, now recreated by Gary Taylor and directed by Terri Bourus with a cast of community actors and IUPUI students. Over the past year, Taylor and Bourus have worked with IUPUI staff and outside contractors to design and build a 250-seat multiple-use performance hall and an adjoining rehearsal room from what morphed into storage space in the Campus Center. One has to see the transformation first hand to appreciate the innovative use of space — on and off stage. Audience comfort is a priority with oversized seating and ample legroom, excellent acoustics and amenities linked to the surrounding ambience of the Campus Center. Originally intended to be a movie theater, work was never completed. “It was a factor of budget surrounding the January 2008 opening of the Campus Center,” observes Andrea Eickhoff Anderson, director of Communications and Development at IUPUI Division of Student Life. “Looking forward, it was fortuitous because the dynamics of a state-of-the-art live theater will provide so much more for our students and for IUPUI’s mission as an urban center.”

Living history

Equally fortuitous is Gary Taylor’s re-creation of a play with an intriguing history of performance, disappearance and reappearance. Written by the aging Shakespeare in collaboration with the young playwright John Fletcher, and performed to acclaim in London by The King’s Men in 1613, The History of Cardenio exemplifies the crosscultural cauldron from which our rich heritage of literature bubbled up. Cervantes’ Don Quixote, published in 1605, is considered to be the world’s first novel. Almost immediately, episodes from the richly textured adventures of the Fighter of Windmills inspired several spin-offs into plays for the English stage. Cardenio’s story, found in Chapters 33, 34 and 35 in Cervantes’ original Spanish version, is full of the stuff we love in Shakespeare’s other plays. Somehow, the original script was lost. In 1727 English playwright Lewis Theopold claimed to have found fragments, which he used to write his own play. Since then scholars have been trying to sort Theopold from the original. Taylor spent twenty years “sorting and sifting” and what premieres April 19-28 is an intriguing story “pretty close to Shakespeare and Fletcher.” Twenty years in the making, Taylor’s reconstruction has been refined through a worldwide series of workshops, detailed by Bourus in a book to be published by Oxford University Press in 2012. “Inspired by a literary masterpiece, conceived by Renaissance masters, reassembled and directed by modern scholars, and addressing timeless themes, the premier performances of The History of Cardenio help us mark the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the IU School of Liberal Arts at IUPUI,” comments William

Blomquist, Dean of IU School of Liberal Arts at IUPUI. Blomquist adds, “More than that, though, this resurrection event demonstrates to our community that theatre, as performance, as literature, and as history, as political and social commentary, has a place in the modern urban university in service to the campus and the community.” For additional information on the New Oxford Shakespeare project, visit http://liberalarts.iupui.edu/shakespeare/ Access history of IUPUI University Theatre 1968-1993 at: www.ulib.iupui.edu/ special/collections/uarchives/ua003

Nate Jackson is growing a sustainable food culture at IUPUI By Julianna Thibodeaux • Photos by Brandon Knapp

ust after the lunch rush, on the second floor of the IUPUI Campus Center — an airy, open building that conjures to mind the television show The Jetsons — Nate Jackson is chatting up the barista at the Caribou Coffee kiosk. He’s surprisingly calm, given that he just served lunch to 3,000 students, faculty and staff in this and other food venues he oversees on campus. Clad in a white chef’s jacket, Jackson looks like the guy who stops at your table at a fancy restaurant to see how you liked your salmon with dill sauce, or the wine pairing. Jackson has been there, done that: As a professional chef, he’s worked in high-end restaurants (including a James Beard restaurant in Nashville) and as a private chef. Now, feeding thousands a day at IUPUI, he’s working closer to where his heart is.

Next generation foodies

IUPUI Executive Chef Nate Jackson

cover story // 04.18.12-04.25.12 // NUVO // 100% RECYCLED PAPER

As executive chef of IUPUI Food Service, Jackson is in charge of serving primarily young people, the ones who are poised to make the most difference in how we grow, serve and recycle our food for the foreseeable future. In a word, the next generation will either make ours a sustainable planet or they won’t — and Nate Jackson would like to do his part to make that at least a possibility. After Jackson and I pick up our Fair Trade Caribou coffee and proceed down the hall and up to the fourth floor on the escalator, with stomach-turning views to the ground floor, Jackson shares niceties and sometimes information with others we pass. I get the sense he knows everyone here. Or even if he doesn’t — it would be nearly impossible, given that the 33,000 people on campus make IUPUI like a small city — customer service is his priority. We tour the kitchens behind the food court, meeting a man prepping large buckets of cage-free, antibiotic-free chicken in an industrial sink and a woman arranging house-made hummus and stuffed

grape leaves on a tray for a special event. As we walk, we discuss the joys and challenges of Jackson’s job, and what he’s hopeful about, which is, to put it succinctly, to change the way we eat. “I didn’t want to own, work, or be in a restaurant that I couldn’t afford to eat in. So … what are your options?” Jackson asks. “You either open up your own place and you make that true. Or, you don’t take all the risk and all the debt and you find somebody that you can work with and that will work with you to try to change something, anything.”

“As children move into adolescence and then into their teens and into adulthood — that’s where the slow food movement needs to be.”

— Nate Jackson

Starting with Styrofoam

One of Jackson’s first orders of business as executive chef was to ditch the Styrofoam. But he did it without fanfare — indeed, without telling anyone. “When I first got here we were using thousands of Styrofoam containers a week,” Jackson recalls. Jackson also noticed something else: “We were overportioning our food. So what I did was, we went to a slightly smaller container to help with proportioning, so people actually get real-sized food.”

Jackson checks on the DIGS garden at the IUPUI campus.

Jackson took the money that was saved on the smaller portions and applied it to purchasing compostable containers. “I think a lot of people become gung-ho about the theory of sustainability, but we need to sustain the sustainability. And so we operated for a month and a half without ever even saying anything, because I didn’t want to announce something that we weren’t doing [anymore], or that we weren’t going to be able to hold onto.” As it turns out, Jackson has been able to continue the program — and that led to other efforts. For instance: “Can I get rid of plastic catering trays and use metal catering trays for delivery? No. But at least I can provide a post-consumer plastic that comes from 100% recycled materials.” The opportunity to make a difference with young people, before food habits and tastes become too engrained, was a big draw when Jackson considered coming on board at IUPUI. Jackson’s former job as chef for a sorority at IU-Bloomington showed him the scope of possibilities in working on a larger scale. “The sorority kind of taught me about the fact that higher education is a great starting point, just because you know students are more receptive to healthier food, to more ethical food. And really, the other part of it is that the people who make the decisions, and the people who really drive public opinion on campus, are the staff and administration … [who] also tend to be more consciencedriven when it comes to food. So the combination of all that really kind of piqued my interest.” Jackson also considered taking a job at DePauw University, in nearby Greencastle, a private institution where, as Jackson puts it, “They have the means and the ways to get what they need. And to demand what they need.” IUPUI seemed to be a different sort of institution. It’s urban, first of all, with a large commuter population. “I felt like IUPUI wasn’t necessarily not demanding it, but I felt like it would be a great and unsuspecting place to do something awesome.” At IUPUI, there was another population to consider — small children.

Serving the kids

“One of the things that made me jaded about high-end restaurants and the whole farm-to-table movement is that in the big city, the farm-to-table movement is very high-brow,” Jackson says. “The meat and bones of the slow food movement is not the high-end customer. It needs to start from the ground up. It needs to start with young children. And as children move into adolescence and then into their teens and into adulthood, that’s where the slow food movement needs to be.” To this end, Jackson, as he puts it, “took on the CYC,” IUPUI’s Center for Young Children. The CYC provides childcare and early childhood education, from infancy through age 5 (with summer programs for school-age children) to those affiliated with the university and in the community at large. When Jackson came to work at IUPUI, the CYC’s food service was managed by the Veterans Administration Hospital. Jackson made dramatic changes when he took over CYC’s food preparation. “For the past three weeks we have not served one fried food. We haven’t served one fake juice. We haven’t served any fake fruit. When I say fake, I mean fruit that isn’t loaded with sugar and canned.” But why serve juice at all, I couldn’t help but wonder. As a mother of three, I’m keenly aware of the uphill battle in keeping sugar out of my kids’ diets. It’s insidious, and in nearly everything — often hidden in the form of high fructose corn syrup. When it comes to juice and its health value, “There are guidelines that are given by the USDA,” Jackson says. “The USDA has nutritional standards. But the problem is they don’t put a limit on them. So as long as you meet the minimum requirements, throw on that plate whatever you want.” So Jackson started serving fresh-squeezed orange juice and 100-percent apple juice, instead of the sugar-laden cherry juice that “came in like a thick nectar that you have to add water to.” Jackson placed higher standards on the kinds and amounts of juice served at CYC — a total for a student per day is 8 ounces of juice, he says, “The problem is, what happens when you send the kid home to their parents?” Jackson asks. “What are their parents feeding them? What kind of food program do they have at home?”

why don’t you try a meat-free alternative? Why don’t you try a black bean burrito?’” Jackson would like his customers to enjoy the experience of trying something new, which isn’t typical for an institutional chef. “Why do I want to hand out something that somebody drives by every day, like a Burger King? I would much rather serve something that people can’t get anywhere else, so we are the place to get it.” For instance, the Campus Center also offers charcuterie (cold cooked meats) boxes — “where you can get a box of fresh baked French baguette and cheese and fruit and some shaved capicola, prosciutto and salamis. Are they local yet? No, but they will be. I don’t see why we can’t do business with places like Goose the Market [a local gourmet shop known for its specialty meats].” Jane Luzar, dean of IUPUI Honors College and professor of environmental economics and policy, who overseas the Office of Sustainability, supports and appreciates Jackson’s enlightened approach to food, but says there’s still a place for the fast food options. “IUPUI Food Services’ Campus Center [is] emerging as a provider in giving students fresh, cooked food, but also the sandwiches and the chain kind of food. I hate to say that, but a lot of the students crave them. And we want to give them choices and options.” Jackson would rather skip the fast food altogether. “What makes us think [students are] going to make the right food choices at 17 or 18 years of age, when they come to college? As a student you are learning what it means to have a little freedom when you leave high school and you’re on your own. So why are we going to make it so difficult for students to be on their own by giving them poor

choices to make? Why are we going to set them up to fail? Why can’t we set them up to succeed, just the same way professors are trying to do that every day in class?”

It’s a team

Luzar says, “One of the things that’s exciting about our sustainability effort is that it’s not just recycling, it’s not just energy, it’s not just food; it’s a team that Colleen [McCormick, director of the Office of Sustainability] assembled across campus. Nate’s obviously an important part of it, but it’s that really holistic look of what you would want for a community.” McCormick, fairly new to her post, has been pleasantly surprised with Jackson’s efforts. Jackson works closely with two urban gardens on campus, managed and maintained by a student group called DIGS (Developing IUPUI Gardens Sustainably (iupuidigs.com)). “That’s one thing that I’m so excited about with Nate,” McCormick says, “his willingness to partner with DIGS and provide the food from that garden with the Chartwells facility at the Campus Center.” Such a cooperative spirit, as it turns out, tends not to be the norm with food service managers. “I just heard some horror stories at a conference about working with the food vendor and — Nate Jackson trying to get the on-campus garden food into the facilities and it just became very problematic, and the discussions broke down, and they weren’t able to make it happen. And here, I just suggested it to Nate … and he said, ‘Absolutely, let’s do it.’” Luzar has taken on an interdisciplinary role in overseeing sustainability efforts on campus, making sure there’s an academic component, as well. She will be teaching

“When I first got here we were using thousands of Styrofoam containers a week.”

in the new sustainability policy and management curriculum that the School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA) will be offering, and continues to direct the campus-wide, revolving “Common Theme” project, from which the Sustainability Office came into being. As Luzar explains, “We talk about a triple bottom line in terms of economics, social and environmental in terms of sustainability, using the United Nations’ definition. And food comes into that in so many ways … from the people who prepare the food, who might be some of your lower-wage people on campus; it comes into the transportation that goes into buying tomatoes in Florida or California so that we can eat them in January. Local food has a big role in sustainability.” But there’s an accessibility component, as well. “That’s part of what Nate’s challenge is, to do the right thing — to use the right materials, and I’ll say ‘right’ from a sustainability perspective — but also make it affordable.” Is it possible to do these things under the umbrella of a large — make that behemoth — corporation? Jackson says that it is. And one gets the sense that “doing the right thing” does, as Luzar suggests, cut across party lines, when it comes to issues of sustainability such as energy consumption, recycling, transportation and, of course, food.

First steps

So while Jackson is enjoying making changes to the IUPUI menu — or menus, as it were — he’s also relishing the challenges of making change on an academic level. “Over this past year, I’ve just really kind of been preaching to the staff and administration and the students in one way or the other about the direction I’d like to take food service, not only here at IUPUI but in the industry,” Jackson says. “And I’d like to take the same focus that universities have on academics and foster students’ critical thinking and their life skills.” Perhaps that’s the next chapter: forging even more of those cross-disciplinary connections. With Luzar and McCormick firmly in his camp, the path seems wide open. It goes back to that old proverb, “teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.” Jackson’s work is laid out for him, helping students make those crucial connections between food, its sources, and the impact of each food choice we make. Jackson’s care for the students, his “kids,” is at the heart of it all. “I truly believe that, if you want to make an impact, if you want to be a great chef, you have to really care about your customer.”

The business side

Nate Jackson is not employed by IUPUI, even though he reports to work there daily, and he manages a sprawling network of 14 food venues across campus plus a staggeringly large catering operation. Jackson’s employer is Chartwells, a subsidiary of Compass Group North America, one of the largest food service management companies in the world. Just how large is it? Food Management magazine ranks North America’s food service contract management companies annually in “domestic top-line revenues.” Compass Group sits at the top of the list for 2011, followed by Aramark and Sodexo, together considered the “Big Three” of the food service industry. A small sampling of Compass Group clients includes Microsoft, IBM, Louisiana State University, and Chicago Public Schools, in addition to catering clients such as the U.S. Open tennis tournament and the Academy Awards. And this is just North America. Its parent company, UK-based Compass Group PLC, operates in more than 50 countries, managing 470,000 operations, or “associates,” worldwide. Therein lies the contradiction for Jackson, and by extension, IUPUI — who are on a fast track to make sustainability an institutional priority. Jackson and the powers-that-be at IUPUI have put into place a sustainability plan for the university that encompasses recycling, energy use and waste reduction, and a food service operation that emphasizes locally and ethically grown and produced food wherever possible. Jackson was already a member of the “slow food” choir to begin with, and working for Chartwells (a subsidiary of Compass Group North America) offered an opportunity to put some of those beliefs into practice, particularly since Compass Group brands itself as a company that embraces sustainability. Compass Group boasts front and center on its website a focus on encouraging “responsible and sustainable practices in our supply chain.” That includes championing local family farmers and fair trade, reducing the use of antibiotics in chicken, turkey and pork, supporting sustainable agriculture and seafood purchasing policies, promoting farm animal welfare with 100 percent use of cage-free shell eggs and the elimination of artificial rBGH from milk and yogurt products. Jackson has already put many of these practices into place — and being employed by a company that supports these policies made it that much easier. It’s done with an eye on the bottom line, of course. “So to work in a big food service organization like Chartwells, you have to really do a lot of soul-searching when you are a diehard about changing nutrition and changing the ethical values that food service is,” Jackson says. “And I chose Chartwells, because Chartwells is a young company, and there’s a lot of room, and there’s a lot of open ears when it comes to ethical food service. And I truly believe this: If there’s a company that I could work for to help change internally, it’s this company.”

Reconnecting to Our Waterways Natural beauty for everyone, every day BY D A N M U N D E L L E DI T O RS @N U V O . N E T A collaborative, grassroots initiative calling itself Reconnecting to Our Waterways (ROW) has launched the first phase of a long-term mission to revitalize Indianapolis waterways. Led by a coalition of steering committee members, public and private organizations, civic leaders and local residents, the initiative is currently seeking community input in developing a pipeline of future projects that benefit both the city’s waterways and living standards. ROW envisions itself as a junction between ecology and civic life, where environmental projects to restore the aesthetic beauty of the city’s waterways also impact surrounding neighborhoods. By inviting local citizens, artists and developers into the conversation, ROW seeks to emphasize both a waterway’s source of natural beauty and its capacity to engage, educate and inspire the city’s vibrant community.

Inspiration, target areas and elements

While still in the nascent stages of its long-term vision, the idea for ROW arose from discussions during the 2010 Livability Challenge. Organized by the Central Indiana Community Foundation and CEOs for Cities, the Livability Challenge brought together local and national experts to research and recommend “Big Ideas” on how Indianapolis could be a city “where every citizen enjoys beauty in the form of art, good design and nature every day.” Following the Livability Challenge’s final report and discussions with several local development groups, a plan to emphasize Indy’s waterways took root; by choosing to focus on rivers, streams and the communities that border them, ROW left open the door for a diverse range of projects while maximizing the geographic boundaries of its impact. “These waterways go through some of our neighborhoods surrounding the city that are essential to keeping Indianapolis strong,” said Sherrie Bossung, a ROW steering committee member and director of community outreach and employee engagement at Eli Lilly and Co. ROW identified six study areas around Indianapolis in which the first phase of their projects will focus: Little Eagle Creek near Lafayette Square, the Canal near Midtown, Mid-North Fall Creek, near Eastside Pogue’s Run, Southeast Pleasant Run, and the White River on the near Westside. These target areas not only share a history with some of ROW’s key partners, they also boast wellestablished community engagement programs from which the initiative can leverage participation and feedback. The contribution of the public was a vital part of a March 9 charrette to underline the initiative’s priority areas. Representatives

gathered from ROW’s steering committee, its partners, and each of the six study areas. Together, the group established The Six Elements most important to ROW’s mission: Aesthetics, Connectivity, Ecology, Economics, Education and Well-being. They also decided to make crowd-sourcing a key component of the initiative’s future.

Crowd-sourcing pools ideas

The success of Reconnecting to Our Waterways will not rest solely on the individual work of key participants, but in its ability to influence a “collective impact” among its many affiliates and the Indianapolis community. In order to expand the number of those engaged, ROW has integrated software into its website that allows registered users to upload ideas in line with the initiative’s mission. “Crowd-sourcing lets impacted people and parties interested in a project have a voice,” said Brad Beaubien, director of Ball State’s College of Architecture and Planning Indianapolis Center and ROW steering committee member. “No idea is too big or too small. It doesn’t matter if you are an eloquent writer or a gifted artist. We are interested in the idea.” Anyone interested in submitting a proposal should attempt to describe how components of their project would be implemented in the short, medium and longterm, and which of ROW’s Six Elements their idea addresses. In an effort to maintain continuity with the past, users are also asked to identify any previous public or private initiatives their design would build upon. The registered community is already growing, and users are choosing to “vote up” and “vote down” pages of proposals. More than eighty ideas are available. They range from the creation or renovation of trails to the removal of invasive plant species that create obtrusive visual barriers. Others are more whimsical, like a waterwheel-powered outdoor learning center and an art display that reacts to a

stream’s pH levels and flow. Proposals and public voting for the first round of projects must be completed May 1, but ROW insists this is only the beginning. “Crowd-sourcing is new and it will evolve,” Beaubien said. “We are committed over the next few years to several rounds. The idea is that projects inform planning, which informs the metrics of our future projects and planning — emphasizing a cyclical process with measurable impact.”

Tributaries: channeling the community’s resources

Reconnecting to Our Waterways is the product of over one hundred large and small businesses, universities, organizations and public and private entities. It is a group of diverse knowledge and expertise, with immense potential for collective impact on local waterways. ROW hopes to harness that energy. “When Eli Lilly came across the Livability Challenge paper, what really resonated with us was the emphasis on art, nature and beauty for everybody, every day,” said Bossung, who organizes the company’s day of service. “We plan to select a [ROW] project where 8,000 volunteers would be most useful in positively affecting the community.” ROW hopes other implementers do the same with the resources they have to offer. Like Eli Lilly and Co., many other companies have a yearly day of service that could sync up with ROW. Big Car, an art collective in Lafayette Square, will open its facilities for an off-line version of ROW’s crowd-sourcing component. This will allow locals without internet access a platform to share their perspectives. ROW is especially hopeful that Indianapolis schools and their students will participate. “What really excites me are the interactive art displays that connect science with education for children and their families,” Bossung said. “We need to leverage school kids to become waterway ambassadors at their homes.”

ROWing forward

After the May 1 deadline for public proposals, ROW plans to carefully sift through the website. Public voting will help the steering committee acknowledge popular projects, but there is neither a prize nor a guarantee of implementation. “When you are trying to implement a waterway project, logistics must be considered,” Beaubien said, citing construction of new trail paths as especially problematic this early in the game. “Our crowdsourcing component will help us gather and evaluate ideas. Depending on who is willing and capable of implementing a project, certain ideas will be more feasible than others.” Projects that fit into the first phase will be stylized, given a story and publicly presented in late May when ROW plans to host another charrette. This time, the group will focus on concrete ways to partner implementers with the projects that can be easily achieved without extensive paperwork and oversight. Later, ROW will address more comprehensive projects that fall in line with their long-term vision. As crowd-sourcing moves forward, ROW believes it can provide an excellent opportunity for implementers to independently align their resources with innovative ideas. A small company without the time or experience to design a project — but with keen interested in the beauty and function of rain gardens — could find a proposal on the ROW website and offer financial support. It is all part of ROW’s collective impact approach to bring Indianapolis back in touch with its network of waterways. “Indianapolis is an amazing city,” Bossung said. “If all of us worked together — to clean up waterways, enhance paths and trails, and create fun, educational destinations for families — the city would really begin respecting what it sees.”

PRESENTS

JCC’s Earth Day celebration invites participation B Y H E A T H E R CHA S TA IN E D I T O RS @N U V O . N E T Environmental education is the focus of the inaugural Earth Day Celebration at the JCC. Organizers planned activities to help people understand ways they can protect and preserve the environment. “We are all learning that our individual and collective actions impact the environment,” said Bruce Sklare, the JCC volunteer behind the vision for the event. “Our hope is to inspire people to protect and improve the environment, and to understand that by doing so they will improve the quality of their lives.” The JCC’s Earth Day Celebration will cover almost every corner of the 40-acre, partially wooded campus with educational activities for all ages. In the front lot, Wings for West Africa will collect computers and electronics from 9 a.m. until noon. In the northeast corner of the property, at the Holocaust Memorial, visitors will find a Tai Chi demonstration and can then participate in an instructional session. Behind the JCC in the east lot, five food trucks will open for lunch business; Keep Indianapolis Beautiful and a host of volunteers will plant trees beginning at 10 a.m., and partners from all over the state will have demonstrations and activities to encourage visitors to develop a responsible and respectful relationship with our environment. Some of the activities include: building your own mini solar-powered car with the Purdue University Solar Racing Team, take a walking tour of the JCC woods with the Ivy Tech biology department faculty, or go on a woodsy scavenger hunt led by Indy Parks in the JCC’s woods or make your own bird feeder from recycled materials with the Audubon Society. Kids can enjoy games, a bounce house, face painting, and making art projects from recycled materials. “You can’t really appreciate what’s out there until you experience it,” said Mindi Epstein, Director of Marketing and Membership. Earth Day participants are encouraged to ride their bikes to the JCC, where they can park for free in a safe corral operated by Pedal & Park.

Purdue students build solar race car

Purdue University students are as committed to meeting engineering challenges as they are to changing the way people think about renewable energy. They will be on site at the JCC Earth Day Celebration to show you how you can build your own mini solar-powered car.

You can also check out the students award-winning solar race car, Celeritas. Celeritas just took first place in the Urban Concept Solar Division at the 2012 Shell Eco-marathon. The students enhanced the software in the car causing it to outperform its previous mark. This year Celeritas achieved efficiency equivalent to 2,325 miles per gallon. Last year, they won the category with an output of to 2,175 miles per gallon. Celeritas is Purdue Solar Racing’s eighth vehicle and the first Urban Concept Vehicle Purdue Solar Racing has designed and built. Urban concept cars are required to look more like normal cars, including doors, and upright seating. Celeritas’ design represents another quantum leap for Purdue Solar Racing, with revolutionary designs and cutting-edge technology integrated into the vehicle. “Through teamwork and innovation each team member will gain knowledge in every aspect of the vehicle while helping the world take a step in the right direction for meeting our future energy needs,” said Zach Lapetina, President of Purdue Solar Racing. “We use solar vehicles as a symbol of what can happen if alternative energies are used. We hope to teach people that there are practical and successful attempts of harnessing alternative energies to make our society cleaner.” The university’s solar racing history dates back to 1991, but the team already is looking ahead to next year’s competition and its ninth design.

A&E REVIEWS MUSIC APA GOLDEN ENCOUNTERS RECITAL t Every time he has appeared here, American Pianists Association’s 2009 Fellow Adam Golka, has stunned his audience with exceptional playing, not the least of which demonstrating spot-on technique. Sunday afternoon, in the intimate Eidson Duckwall Recital Hall on the Butler U. campus, Golka tackled a program which challenged even him — in particular Beethoven’s monumental “Hammerklavier” Sonata, No. 29, Op. 106. In the first movement Beethoven got the best of him, as he does with most who attempt his Op. 106’s opener. The rest of the sonata went better, especially the profoundly moving Adagio sustenuto, with its Chopinesque anticipations. Golka seemed to have a fair command of the thorny fugal movement that “never stops,” yet ends the work. Other than a bit of overpedaling, Golka took command of this delightful aperitif from start to finish. Our 24-year-old Houston native did his best work in three Brahms Intermezzos from his Op. 117 set—and with Liszt’s Mephisto Waltz No. 1 (the famous one). As shapely as he made the “curves” of these quite mature Brahms pieces, Golka pounced on those surfacy Liszt figurations with near faultless bravura playing over the piano’s entire compass.

PINK MARTINI WITH THE ISO HILBERT CIRCLE THEATRE; APRIL 13-15 w Spirited and engaging, the entire program merits accolades for fine musicianship and attention to audience partnership. Familiarity has benefits, with a full-house humming, singing and moving with the music, including during a finely crafted orchestral opening showcasing Bernstein’s “Overture to Candide,” Gershwin’s “Cuban Overture” and Brodin’s Polovtzian Dances from “Prince Igor No. 17” [recognized by its knock-off, “Strangers in Paradise.”]

Conductor Sarah Hicks took command of the stage to deliver crisp direction, her body moving with the melody of each piece. ISO players clearly connected with the energy and earned robust applause. Pink Martini players and vocalists seamlessly interfaced with the orchestra for a program of selections from their repertoire ranging across a mix of Latin rhythms, jazz, cabaret and Hollywood musicals, including their initial worldwide hit song “Sympathique.” — RITA KOHN

THEATER THE MUSIC MAN BEEF & BOARDS DINNER THEATRE, THROUGH MAY 25 w A classy production of a classic that sends you out into the night actually humming tunes, singing songs and feeling hopeful for humanity. Director Eddie Curry has assembled a cast with the ability to sing without shouting or screeching for a pleasing experience filled with nuances of interpretation befitting Meredith Willson’s musicality and character development. Impeccable diction and articulation by everyone on stage and a finely tuned sound system allow every sung and spoken word to be understood. Add to that sprightly choreography and upbeat dancing, a pleasantly modulated orchestra, cohesive stage setting and costumes and a bevy of surprises for a new look at a 55-year-old musical that continues to have something important to share. Curt Dale Clark and Katie Sina bring bombast and subtlety to Harold Hill and Marion Paroo. Douglas E. Stark is the Mayor you love to hate; Abraham Rittenhouse is a winning Winthrop. The men’s quartet and women’s quintet could easily steal the show. It’s fun and heartwarming. Box office 317-872-9664; www.beefandboards.com — RITA KOHN

VISUAL ART REVIEW: SOME PEOPLE; AZIZ + CUCHER INDIANAPOLIS MUSEUM OF ART; THROUGH OCT. 21 e Three years in the making, the works in this show represent the artists’ attempt to find metaphors that might, in some way, begin to cut through the toxic knot that binds people in the Middle East in a seemingly endless feedback loop of suspicion, resentment, violence and death. While the artists both have personal ties to the region, they adamantly deny a political agenda, hoping, it seems that the eloquence of these thoughtfully constructed, image-driven pieces might move viewers toward fresh recognitions. The first piece in their quartet consists of three large, suspended screens featuring a digital animation of a tower. A blizzard of particles dances in a perpetual motion that somehow simultaneously atomizes and reconstructs the architectural form. The next installation envelops the viewer with eight wall-mounted screens, creating a vast sense of empty, arid landscape. The screens are populated with people, in constantly, often suddenly, changing perspectives, performing an energetic choreography of distress and vexation. It’s a harrowing, mesmerizing creation of remarkable depth. Next is a seeming documentary cum newsflash about an archaeological dig as paranoid conspiracy. “Those who own history own the land,” intones a crackling, Orwellian voice as the fragments of history are beclouded by dust. Finally, in the show’s final room, six screens display looped video images of daily life in the Middle East — people on city streets, in cafes, by the seaside. These screens are juxtaposed with a single, large surface showing the artists, dressed as Beckett-like clowns, assembling the exhibition we’ve just experienced. It’s a grace note on the need to create — and the limits of — art. — DAVID HOPPE

The Kid with a Bike e (PG-13) One of my favorite films is a 1995 Iranian production called The White Balloon, which follows a seven-year-old girl on her quest to get a goldfish she fancies for the New Year’s Day festivities, with complications ensuing when she loses the small amount of money her mother gave her for the fish. The film has a lot going for it, but my favorite part is the deadly serious, highly-focused attitude of the girl. So many movies romanticize children — The White Balloon is much more genuine, and its unsentimental approach completely drew me in. The Kid with a Bike, written and directed by acclaimed filmmakers Jean-

Pierre and Luc Dardenne, deals with 12-year-old Cyril (Thomas Doret), whose father left him at a children’s home. Cyril wants his father back. Period. He sets out to find him, with the same serious, unswerving mindset as the sevenyear-old Iranian girl. His bike becomes a secondary factor — he won’t believe his father sold it, and there are repercussions connected to its return. Set in France (with subtitles), the film steers clear of sentimentality for the most part. The characters come off as unadorned, utterly credible and compelling human beings — even the extraordinarily self-absorbed father (who “needs a new start,” by the way). In addition to young Doret, Cecile de France stands out as a neighborhood woman who becomes Cyril’s champion – but not in a sappy way. The Kid with a Bike never gets sappy, which is why it is so involving and moving. Highly recommended.

appy Record Store Day to one and all. Inside this section you’ll find ways that local stores are celebrating the music holiday, including live in-store shows, food and drink and of course, many many many records. You’ll find a touching tribute to a local musician who tragically lost his life last year, but who is being celebrated by friends and family through the recording and pressing of a new record. You can read about Roy Griffth’s Turntable Shoppe on Indy’s Eastside. In Soundcheck, you’ll find an extended preview of this year’s Gat3way event, a brand new collaborative record from the mind of J. Brookinz and his motley crue of hip-hop collaborators.

INDY CD & VINYL Just around the corner on College Ave. and Broad Ripple Ave. is Indy CD and Vinyl, owned by Rick Ziegler. The wildly popular Loyal Divide will perform at 1 p.m. The bluegrass boys in New Old Cavalry will take the stage at 2 p.m., followed by Brother Nature Band at 4 p.m. Zach Molina, also known as DJ Crookshanks, spoke to me about what he’s looking forward to in terms of Record Store Day releases. “I want to get the Lana Del Rey 7’’; there’s new remixes on that one. They have Taking Back Sunday 7’’, which I think is kind of funny. I haven’t heard of that many weird releases coming out like that this year,” said Molina.

KARMA RECORDS With locations all around the city, Karma Records could very likely be the closest independent record store near you. And it’s probably been like that for a while, as the chain of locally-owned record stores celebrated 42 years of being open in Indianapolis. “We’re not doing as big as what the stores in Broad Ripple do, but we’re offering 25% off all CDs and vinyl records that day,” said owner Jim Ector. “We’ll open at 9 a.m. At the Eastside location at Post and Washington. “There are a few things that i’m excited for. The Heady Friends thing with The Flaming Lips, Blitzen Trapper, GroupLove, The Civil Wars,” said Ector.

“It’s like Black Friday. People want to get the deals and there’s limited amounts,” said Mike Contreras, an Indy CD and Vinyl employee who is currently working on the solo project Shimmercore. Any risk of trampling, I ask – making an Black Friday joke in very poor taste. “Our customers haven’t fought each other yet,” said Contreras. “But we get angry phone calls, asking us to hold things, and we just can’t. You have to be here physically to pick things up. “‘Oh, I got stuck in traffic, they say,” said Molina. “And it’s like, well, these people didn’t.”

LUNA’s Record Store Day celebration just keeps getting bigger. This year, they’re bringing zillions of records, bands, brew, giveaways, tamales and even the front space in line. And it will take a lot of work. “I’ll probably get up around 4 a.m.,” said LUNA Music owner Todd Robinson. A one-day liquor license will be in effect, so Upland will be on hand with cold beverages to enhance your shopping experience. The shop is setting up a sidewalk sale, which will include loads of $1 vinyl records, CDs and other low-priced goodies. Free grab bags of samplers and other treats will be given out. Specialty LUNA merchandise will be available for the day. The ever-popular LUNA slipmats will be printed for the day with special ink. “I’ll have the coffee ready and get donuts from Taylor’s for the first few people in line,” said Robinson. Performances begin at noon with the Indianapolis debut of Winslow. Slothpop vocalist Kristen Newport will debut her new project, KO at 1 p.m. Auction fund recipient and new father Mike Adams will perform his project Mike Adams at His Honest Weight,

They’ve worked hard to officially license t-shirts for legendary Bloomington punk band The Gizmos, which will be on sale along with a RSD print from Andy J Miller at Design Koma and Goodnight Sweet Prints. “We’ll have a few hundred or more great used LPs hitting the bins that day,” said Nickey. “We’ll stay open late, until everyone is gone,”.

which debuted to wildly popular acclaim last year on Flannelgraph Records, at 2 p.m. The day continues with Hen (3 p.m.), Sunni Sheets (4 p.m.,) and Ancient Slang (5 p.m.). Joining the party is Laundromatinee, who will film throughout the day. Jolly Tamale has fresh, hot tamales made locally. Handmade Promenade features local artisan goods from 18 separate vendors, including The Thread House, Green Illuminations and Bebito. Mile 44 will be selling silkscreened show posters featuring local shows programmed in Indy in the last year. Last week, LUNA held a lottery to give away the number one spot in line. That person will be the first in the door to check out the exclusive RSD releases. As a special gift to those who waited for something special, Robinson and the other LUNA employees have hidden signed posters and other Easter egg-style gifts inside of vinyl “Richard [of Margot and the Nuclear So and So’s] dropped off one of his last speciality vinyl, and we’re going to slip it into one their sleeves,” said Robinson.

In addition to the special Record Store Day, Karma is giving away gift certificates in different drawings, and offering free donuts for all visitors. “We always get a pretty decent crowd, with line of people outside the door,” said Ector. “We’ll also have the goodie bags for everyone as well, including samplers from labels – some will have t-shirts in them, posters, all kinds of stuff,” said Ector. Looking for a low-key Record Store Day? Stop by any of the Karma Records locations around the city – there’s bound to be one near you. “We have all the Record Store Day stuff too.

A CULTURAL MANIFESTO WITH KYLE LONG Kyle Long’s music, which features off-the-radar rhythms from around the world, has brought an international flavor to the local dance music scene.

Latin Record Stores As we celebrate Record Store Day this week, I thought it would be a good time to take notice of Indy’s Latin music retailers. At a point when physical album sales have hit an all-time low — 2011 marked the first time in history that digital music purchases surpassed physical album sales — Latin music shops continue to thrive. Curious to understand why Spanish language music consumers continue to favor CDs over digital download options, I visited Morelos Records, a Latin music shop tucked inside an anonymous looking strip-mall on North Michigan Road. Morelos offers a small but comprehensive selection featuring everything from Mexican heavy metal, to indigenous native flute music. I spoke with the shop’s manager Fidel Hernandez, who told me that CD sales have remained consistent over the shop’s five-year history, noting that Dominican bachata was a particularly strong seller with the store’s largely Mexican clientele. Fidel speculated that the shopping habits of Latin music consumers were shaped by a technology gap, at one point noting that Spanish-speaking customers “Do not have much access to the Internet.” For another perspective on this question I

turned to my friend Cinthya Perez, a young Mexican-American Hoosier. “I don’t download music at all,” Perez said. But for her, the choice is not influenced by Internet access. “I buy CDs because I want to to support the artists,” she explained, adding that she also favors the format for its inclusion of bonus material. But Perez did observe that the technology gap was a factor in the purchasing habits of older family members. “I’ve noticed with my uncles or my mom, they buy CDs because they don’t know how to download music. They don’t want to mess with the computer and it’s easier to get the CD from the store.” Regardless of the reasons, independent music stores are still the go-to place for many Spanish language music consumers. Indianapolis offers a wide variety of Latin music shopping choices. The shops listed below represent just a few of the options. Kyle Long creates a custom podcast for each column.

Roy Griffith’s turntable heaven BY K YL E L O N G K L O N G @N U V O . N E T Roy Griffith and his Turntable Shoppe saved my life. I was running late for an important DJ gig, scrambling to load my equipment in to the trunk of my car as fast as humanly possible, when the unthinkable happened. After tripping over a rough patch of sidewalk, my equipment case flew out my hands, crashing to the ground and spilling its contents all over the road. I was devastated when I looked up to find scattered pieces of my beloved Technics 1200s strewn across the highway. After I recovered from my initial panic, I remembered Roy and his turntable repair shop. Desperately hoping for a miracle, I hopped into my car and sped to Roy’s small storefront on East 10th St., only to find I’d arrived two hours after closing time. I anxiously dialed the phone number posted on the shop’s door, I explained the situation and, to my surprise, Roy agreed to meet me. Within minutes he had me patched up and ready to go. I made the gig with time to spare. Emergency turntable resuscitation is just a small part of the UK native’s business. He also sells a variety of turntables for all levels of interests, ranging from $60 starter gear to higher end equpiment for hi-fi enthusiasts. “It’s not expensive to get into,” Roy assures, promising, “I can hook you up with a turntable, a receiver and a pair of speakers for less than $200.” The shop also carries a wide variety of turntable accessories too, including essential items like cartridges, needles, belts and cleaning brushes. It was a long journey that brought Roy from his UK home to his current digs on Indy’s Eastside. “I’m from Manchester, England originally. I moved to the States about 13 years ago. I was an engineer here for 9 years, designing tanning beds,” Roy said. Misfortune struck Roy one day when the

tanning bed company closed down, but then inspiration quickly followed. “I drove by this space one day and had an epiphany that I could open a turntable shop.” he said, continuing, “I used to fix turntables just for fun, so I decided to turn my hobby into a business.” Although his background is in engineering, he’s no stranger to music, which has played a large part in his life since childhood. “My dad was a huge music fan. He taught me how to play guitar when I was six years old,” Roy said. But it was the family’s weekly music listening rituals that fueled Roy’s love for vinyl culture. “Every Saturday night, the whole family would listen to records. From the age of four years old, Dad would make me put the records on the turntable. He would be sitting drinking his Stella Artois and I would put on the records,” Roy said. And what was on the turntable in the Griffith house? “’60s Merseybeat, freakbeat, Jimi Hendrix, early Pink Floyd, Beatles and Stones,” Roy said. These were sounds he would later draw from in his own musical career. Since arriving in Indy, Roy has had a big presence in the city’s music scene. “I was in a band in the mid-2000s called The Shivers. We played at The Vogue a few times; we opened for The Yardbirds. Now I’m with Thee Pernicious Unicats,” he said. Roy’s love for music is obvious when you enter the small and stylish shop. Huge oversized prints of Roy’s favorite LP covers drape the walls, featuring everything from Roxy Music to Fela Kuti, and the floor is filled with boxes of classic LPs. The Turntable Shoppe has been open for just over a year, but when you enter the space, it feels like its existed there for decades. Rare turntables and exotic parts overflow from the shop’s shelves, creating an atmosphere that’s part museum, part science lab. The Turntable Shoppe provides one of the most interesting window shopping experiences Indianapolis has to offer. As we celebrate Record Store Day this Saturday, it’s important to acknowledge turntable vendors and technicians like Roy who make it possible for vinyl culture to survive.

Project pays tribute to fallen friend BY SCO TT HALL M USIC@ N UVO.NET

The people who loved Paul Julian Cobb sometimes still speak in the present tense as they describe the various sides of his personality. His parents remember the quiet kid who could spend hours alone, from the time he was a toddler, drawing in notebooks or fiddling with musical instruments. His bandmates speak of his prodigious musical skill and an irrepressible sense of adventure that entertained and inspired them. “Paul was such a free spirit, in the truest sense of the phrase,” says singer-songwriter Ben Bernthal, who drafted Cobb for his band Accordions. “He never did anything he didn’t want to do, and if he wanted to do something, any effort to talk him out of it was in vain.” All agree that Cobb, best known as bassist and contributing songwriter for local psych-pop combo Amo Joy, was an artist deserving broader attention, though they had trouble convincing him of that fact. “Paul was very quiet about his talent,” says his mother, Jill Lindner of Nashville, Tenn. “He wasn’t shy, but he wouldn’t brag on himself.” Their hopes were dashed the night of Oct. 1-2, 2011, when Cobb evidently tried to hop a train and — in the words of one friend — “it took him further than he expected.” The next morning, a CSX engineer reported seeing his body on the tracks off East St. Clair Street, not far from the

Dorman Street pub. He was 24. The loss had a nuclear impact on his family and friends. “When I think about it, I’m shocked all over again,” says Amo Joy guitarist andfrontman Adam Gross, who cofounded the band with Cobb several years earlier. “I’d been all across the country with Paul and spent so many intimate personal and musical moments with him. We were like brothers. We were all so close. And then he was gone, so immediately and dramatically.” Gross had a hard time sleeping after hearing the news, but when he did, he awoke thinking of his friend and the trove of solo recordings and drawings he left behind. “The first thing I thought was, ‘Oh my God, he’s been recording for the past six years, and nobody’s ever heard it. We’ve got to put it out,’” Gross recalls. “I think it was like a defense mechanism. I needed something to do.” Thus was born a multimedia memorial project, spearheaded by the members of Amo Joy and Accordions, who met at Butler University and have often toured and recorded together. Along with another friend or two, they are collaborating on an album of Cobb’s unreleased songs, which they hope to have available in time for an eight-man summer tour. They’re determined to release the music on vinyl as well as digital download, in part so they can include reproductions of his drawings. “The album artwork is basically going to be a collage of artworks by Paul,” Gross says. “He was a really amazing artist, and just like his music, he talked about doing stuff with it and never followed through.” The project is dubbed Hammer Screwdriver, a phrase Cobb used as an email address. His friends didn’t learn its origin until after his death, when they gathered with his family in Nashville and heard the story from his brother, Adrian, who was four when Paul was born. Lindner remembers the original exchange from two decades past: “We were asking

(Adrian) for input on some names for the baby,” she says. “He said, ‘If it’s a boy, we should name him Hammer Screwdriver.’” The members of Hammer Screwdriver face a challenge in the studio. They intend to add instruments, backing vocals and a sense of completion to lo-fi tracks that Cobb himself considered unfinished sketches. “The plan is to not put on any new lead vocals,” Gross says. “We want it to be very much so that Paul is leading the songs and Paul is talking, but it’s going to be tough.” How tough? Some of the recordings are pulled from a four-track machine, others from a looping effects pedal, and still others from tapes made on Cobb’s beloved Fisher-Price cassette recorder. “That was Paul’s go-to format for everything,” Gross says. “He loved cassettes.” Fortunately, one of their collaborators is Paul’s dad, Donald Cobb, who happens to be a mastering engineer in Music City with access to professional equipment. “We can take noises out and some of the hiss out,” Don Cobb says. “With the FisherPrice stuff, there’s a lot of distortion, and that’s really hard to get out, but we’re trying.” Needless to say, he doesn’t mind making the effort. “The sad part for us is, well, there are many things to be sad about, but it seemed like he was just coming into his own and starting to feel comfortable about sharing his music with people,” Don says. To fund the album and tour, the group has established a presence on indiegogo. com, a website that helps independent artists raise capital. As of last weekend, Hammer Screwdriver was nearly halfway to its $10,000 goal. Contributions are being accepted through next Wednesday, April 25. The site also features a compelling three-minute video in which the participants talk about their friend and their effort to preserve his memory. The raw material is already available for listening and free download on bandcamp. com. The Anthology, as it is called, comprises 52 titles, ranging from electronic experiments to slightly more conventional tunes with guitar, organ and vocals. Some have an old-time music hall vibe, while others evoke the unhinged charm and poignancy of Pink Floyd founder Syd Barrett’s solo work. The Hammer Screwdriver participants picked 30 pieces for further work and potential inclusion on the album.

BARFLY

As for the tour, they envision a showcase for Cobb’s songs as well as those of the two bands left reeling by his departure. Though initially he was just an occasional contributor to Accordions, he joined the orchestral-folk group in earnest a year or two ago, adding an electric punch to its live sound with his melodic, McCartneyesque bass lines. He took part in a short European tour last spring, and he was a prominent contributor to Accordions’ impressive second album, The Moon at Half-Mast, which they completed just before his death. Cobb’s passing took the wind out of their plans to promote the record. Likewise with Amo Joy, which began recording its fifth album last summer. Dissatisfied with his original bass tracks, Cobb was in the process of redoing them when he died. “We kind of shelved it for five months and just last month started working again,” Gross said, noting that they’re almost done mixing the album. “That’s great, but we have no idea what we’re going to do with it.” That sense of uncertainty is also felt by Cobb’s parents, who have considered forming an advocacy group to warn about the dangers of train hopping. Parents have many worries, they say, but this one hadn’t occurred to them. “You never think, when they leave the house, to say, ‘Don’t go hopping trains,’” Don Cobb says. Nonetheless, the Hammer Screwdriver project is a comfort to Paul’s family, who have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of interest and financial support. “These young people who are doing this project are just amazing,” Lindner says. “We’re so impressed with them as musicians and as human beings.”

SKA PUNK SUBLIME WITH ROME

IU Assembly Hall, 1001 East 17th S 9 p.m., prices vary, all-ages

After frontman Bradley Nowell’s untimely death in 1996, many doubted his band Sublime would ever play out again.Years later, they’ve regrouped with new frontman Rome Ramirez, and the call for Sublime’s classic ‘90s songs hasn’t died. The group largely plays tracks from Sublime’s previous releases, but has released one album of tracks on their own. Sublime with Rome is brought to IU by the University’s Union Board, which brought Lil Wayne last year. The Dirty Heads, another reggae rock band from Southern Cali, will support. FESTIVAL INDYMOJO 420 TENT PARTY Mousetrap, 5565 N. Keystone Ave. 4:20 p.m., $5, 21+

Gateway 3 Release Q: What do you get when you mix 25+ Naptown rappers, 10 southern rock-inspired beats produced by J. Brookinz, one DIY recording booth pieced together in the basement of a Broad Ripple house, and plenty of, um… herbal inspiration? A: Gateway 3. Continuing a tradition that began three years ago, J Brookinz, Grey Granite and the rest of their Heavy Gun Crew have once again inspired the broadly diverse, artistic hip-hop community of Indianapolis to come together in the name of song craft. Fueled by an inexplicable synergy that kept the verses flowing for two days straight, Brookinz & company invited every local artist they know to a 48-hour studio lock-in at the beginning of April. Twenty days later (see what they did, there?) the completed project will drop on HeavyGunBlog.com.

ALL-AGES HOOSIER DOME BATTLE OF THE BANDS Hoosier Dome, 1627 Prospect St 12:30 p.m., $8 (per day), all-ages

On April 21 and 22, Piradical Productions will host their annual High School Battle of the Bands at the Hoosier Dome in Fountain Square. Twentyfour high school bands (including Crash21, Holy Mackenzie, Breaking New Lines and Gnarwhale) selected from all over the Indianapolis area will perform both days. The top three bands from each day with the most votes will move on to the final round, which will happen on May 5. The winning bands will be decided by a combination of audience votes and a panel of judges.

ROCK SNOW PATROL

Egyptian Room at Old National Centre, 502 N. New Jersey St. 7:30 p.m., $40.50, all-ages

Irish alt rockers Snow Patrol struck major musical gold with the track “Chasing Cars” in 2006. The song, featured on a particularly emotional moment during the season finale of Grey’s Anatomy in 2006 (when the show was one of the top-watched programs in the nation), exploded on the US charts. It was later announced that “Chasing Cars” was the most widely played song of the decade in the UK. The band, who has since relocated to Glasgow, but spends significant amounts of time in Belfast, is notoriously kind to younger local bands there. They’ll play with Ed Sheeran, an English singer-songwriter.

While the Gateway project began in 2010 as a hysterically funny homage to pot smoking, it’s quickly evolved to stand for so much more: Indianapolis culture, our city’s vast talent, and the power of collaboration. And maybe still a little weed. This Thursday, the Heavy Gun family and their friends will gather at Rock Lobster to celebrate the completion of the album and begin their countdown to every stoner’s favorite holiday, 4/20 — not coincidentally, also the official release date for Gateway 3. “I’ll keep giving you guys good music for free... just share it with somebody,” Brookinz recently commented on the status of the project. Stream the first single from the album, “You’re Mine,” online at NUVO.net. The event includes performances of the Gateway 3 by J.Brookinz and friends, DJ Sets from CrookShanks and 3WeekPartyStreak (TxtBook and Chris Gnarly) -DANIELLE LOOK GATEWAY 3 RELEASE Rock Lobster, 820 Broad Ripple Ave April 19, 9 p.m., $3, 21+

NEWS OF THE WEIRD

French full-body health care Plus, caribou love pipelines

As the U.S. government’s role in health care is debated, the French government’s role was highlighted in February with a report on Slate.com about France’s guarantee to new mothers of “10 to 20” free sessions of “la reeducation perineale” (vaginal re-toning to restore the pre-pregnancy condition, a “cornerstone of French post- natal care,” according to Slate). The sessions involve yoga-like calisthenics to rebuild muscles and improve genital flexibility. Similar procedures in the U.S. not only are not government entitlements, but are almost never covered by private insurance, and besides, say surgeons, the patients who request them do so almost entirely for aesthetic reasons. The French program, by contrast, is said to be designed not only for general health but to strengthen women for bearing more children, to raise the birth rate.

Compelling explanations

• Drill, Baby, Drill: U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas may have been joking, but according to a February Washington Post story, he seemed serious at a Natural Resources Committee hearing when searching for yet more reasons why the U.S. should support oil drilling in Alaska. Caribou, he said, are fond of the warmth of the Alaskan pipeline. “So when they want to go on a date, they invite each other to head over to the pipeline.” That mating ritual, Rep. Gohmert concluded, is surely responsible for a recent tenfold increase in the local caribou population. • In assigning a bail of only $20,000, the judge in Ellisville, Miss., seemed torn about whether to believe that Harold Hadley is a terrorist -- that is, did Hadley plant a bomb at Jones County Junior College? In February, investigators told WDAM-TV that the evidence against Hadley included a note on toilet paper on which he had written in effect, “I passed a bomb in the library.” However, no bomb was found, and a relative of Hadley’s told the judge that Hadley often speaks of breaking wind as “passing a bomb.” The case is continuing. • John Hughes, 55, was fined $1,000 in February in Butte, Mont., after pleading guilty to reckless driving for leading police on a 100-mph-plus chase starting at 3:25 a.m. After police deflated his tires and arrested him, an officer asked why he had taken off. Said Hughes, “I just always wanted to do that.” • Melvyn Webb, 54, was acquitted in March of alleged indecent behavior on a train. An eight-woman, four-man jury in Reading (England) Crown Court found Webb’s explanation entirely plausible

-- that he was a banjo player and was “playing” some riffs underneath the newspaper in his lap. “(S)ometimes I do, with my hands, pick out a pattern on my knees,” he said. (On the other hand, the female witness against him had testified that Webb “was facing me, breathing heavily and snarling.”)

Ironies

• Earl Persell, 56, was arrested in Palm Bay, Fla., in February when police were summoned to his home on a domestic violence call. Persell’s girlfriend said he had assaulted her and held her down by the neck, and then moments later, with his truck, rammed the car she was driving away in. The subject of the couple’s argument was legendary singer Tina Turner and her late, wife-beating husband, Ike. • U.S. military forces called to battle in Iraq and Afghanistan, including reservists and National Guardsmen on active duty, have their civilian jobs protected by federal law, but every year the Pentagon reports having to assist personnel who have been illegally fired or demoted during their tours of duty. Of all the employers in the United States who are seemingly ignorant of the law, one stands out: civilian agencies of the federal government. The Washington Post, using a Freedom of Information Act request, revealed in February that during fiscal year 2011, 18 percent of all complaints under the law were filed against federal agencies. • Mark “Chopper” Read only wanted to help out his son’s youth athletics program in the Melbourne, Australia, suburb of Collingwood in February, but was rebuffed. He had offered his assistance at track meets by, for instance, firing he starter’s pistol for races, but officials declined after learning that Read had recently been released from prison after 23 years and had boasted of killing 19 people and once attempting to kidnap a judge at gunpoint. • Damien Bittar of Eugene, Ore., turned 21 at midnight on March 15 and apparently wanted to get a quick start on his legaldrinking career. By 1:30 a.m., his car had been impounded, and he had been charged with DUI, reckless driving and criminal mischief after he accidentally crashed into an alcohol rehabilitation center.

Fine Points of the Law

• Internal Revenue Service is battling the estate of art dealer Ileana Sonnabend over the value of a Robert Rauschenberg stuffed bald eagle that is part of his work “Canyon.” IRS has levied taxes as if the work were worth $65 million, but the Sonnabend estate, citing multiple auction-house appraisals, says the correct value is “zero,” since it is impossible to sell the piece because two federal laws prohibit the trafficking of bald eagles, whether dead or alive. (Despite the law, IRS says, there is a black market for the work, for example, by a “recluse billionaire in China (who) might want to buy it and hide it.”)

Least Competent Criminals

• (1) Maureen Reed, 41, was charged with DWI in March in Lockport, N.Y.,

news of the weird // 04.18.12-04.25.12 // NUVO // 100% RECYCLED PAPER

after arriving at a police station inebriated. She had gotten into an altercation with two others at the Niagara Hotel and left to go press charges. The police station is about 200 feet from the hotel, but Reed unwisely decided to drive her car there instead of walking. (2) Two men were robbed in a motel room in Bradenton, Fla., in February by Cedrick Mitchell, 39, who pulled a handgun on them, but lost it in a struggle when the men started to fight back. One of the men pepper-sprayed Mitchell, sending him fleeing. He returned a few minutes later and begged to buy the gun back for $40, but all he got was another pepper-spraying. Police arrested Mitchell nearby.

Update

• Dr. Peter Trigger, 62, apparently suffered a relapse in Thorplands, England, in February. Dr. Trigger violated his Anti-Social Behavior Order (the one reported in News of the Weird in 2009) by standing passively alongside the grounds of the Woodvale Primary School as parents dropped kids off for classes. As before, he was wearing a thigh-length gray skirt and a blue Northampton Academy Blazer even though forbidden to be near a school while dressed in either a skirt or a school uniform. His lawyer said that Dr. Trigger desperately wants to be a woman.

Could Be True. Maybe Not.

• (1) Asian News International, citing a March China Today report, disclosed that a 68-year-old woman from the countryside, visiting her son in the city of Dalian, China, for the first time, used an unheard-of (for China) 98 tons of water over a two-month period because she was apparently mesmerized by the wonder of seeing her first flush toilet (which she continually engaged approximately every five minutes). (Her use breaks down to 391 gallons a day, somewhat higher than the average U.S. household.) (2) In Port Harcourt, Nigeria, in March, police finally straightened out the street confrontation between several men and a wheelchair-using man who, they thought, was making their penises disappear. According to National Network Newspapers, the police brought all parties to the station and ordered pants to be pulled down. All organs were said to be intact, but one man still complained that his had been made “lifeless.” Thanks This Week to Perry Levin and Bob Smakula, and to the News of the Weird Board of Editorial Advisors.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A starfish that loses an arm can grow back a new one. It’s an expert regenerator. According to my understanding of the astrological omens, you are entering a starfish-like phase of your cycle. Far more than usual, you’ll be able to recover parts of you that got lost and reanimate parts of you that fell dormant. For the foreseeable future, your words of power are “rejuvenate,” “restore,” “reawaken,” and “revive.” If you concentrate really hard and fill yourself with the light of the spiritual sun, you might even be able to perform a kind of resurrection.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Let’s see if you know what these exquisitely individuated luminaries have in common: Salvador Dali, Martha Graham, Stephen Colbert, David Byrne, Maya Deren, Malcolm X, Willie Nelson, Bono, Dennis Hopper, Cate Blanchett, George Carlin, Tina Fey, Sigmund Freud. Give up? They are or were all Tauruses. Would you characterize any of them as sensible, materialistic slowpokes obsessed with comfort and security, as many traditional astrology texts describe Tauruses? Nope. They were or are distinctive innovators with unique style and creative flair. They are your role models as you cruise through the current phase of maximum self-expression.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Too much of a good thing isn’t necessarily good. (Have you ever hyperventilated?) Too little of a good thing can be bad. (Have you ever gotten dehydrated? ) Some things are good in measured doses but bad if done to excess. (Wine and chocolate.) A very little of a very bad thing may still be a bad thing. (It’s hard to smoke crack in moderation.) The coming week is prime time to be thinking along these lines, Scorpio. You will generate a lot of the exact insights you need if you weigh and measure everything in your life and judge what is too much and what is too little.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In December 1946, three Bedouin shepherds were tending their flock near the Dead Sea. They found a cave with a small entrance. Hoping it might contain treasure hidden there long ago, they wanted to explore it. The smallest of the three managed to climb through the narrow opening. He brought out a few dusty old scrolls in ceramic jars. The shepherds were disappointed. But eventually the scrolls were revealed to be one of the most important finds in archaeological history: the first batch of what has come to be known as the Dead Sea Scrolls. Keep this story in mind, Gemini. I suspect a metaphorically similar tale may unfold for you soon. A valuable discovery may initially appear to you in a form you’re not that excited about.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You had to take the test before you got a chance to study more than a couple of the lessons. Does that seem fair? Hell, no. That’s the bad news. The good news is that this test was merely a rehearsal for a more important and inclusive exam, which is still some weeks in the future. Here’s even better news: The teachings that you will need to master before then are flowing your way, and will continue to do so in abundance. Apply yourself with diligence, Aries. You have a lot to learn, but luckily, you have enough time to get fully prepared.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The devil called together a committee meeting of his top assistants. He was displeased. Recruitments of people born under the sign of Cancer had fallen far below projected totals. “It’s unacceptable,” the dark lord fumed. “Those insufferable Crabs have been too mentally healthy lately to be tantalized by our lies. Frankly, I’m at wit’s end. Any suggestions?” His marketing expert said, “Let’s redouble our efforts to make them buy into the hoax about the world ending on December 21, 2012.” The executive vice-president chimed in: “How about if we play on their fears about running out of what they need?” The chief of intelligence had an idea, too: “I say we offer them irrelevant goodies that tempt them away from their real goals.” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “If you don’t run your own life, someone else will,” said psychologist John Atkinson. Make that your motto in the coming weeks, Leo. Write it on a big piece of cardboard and hold it up in front of your eyes as you wake up each morning. Use it as a prod that motivates you to shed any laziness you might have about living the life you really want. Periodically ask yourself these three questions: Are you dependent on the approval, permission, or recognition of others? Have you set up a person, ideology, or image of success that’s more authoritative than your own intuition? Is there any area of your life where you have ceded control to an external source? VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Here are the last words that computer pioneer Steve Jobs spoke before he died: “OH WOW. OH WOW. OH WOW.” I’d propose that we bring that mantra into as wide a usage as Jobs’ other creations, like the iPhone and iPad. I’d love to hear random strangers exclaiming it every time they realize how amazing their lives are. I’d enjoy it if TV newscasters spoke those words to begin each show, acknowledging how mysterious our world really is. I’d be pleased if lovers everywhere uttered it at the height of making love. I nominate you to start the trend, Virgo. You’re the best choice, since your tribe, of all the signs of the zodiac, will most likely have the wildest rides and most intriguing adventures in the coming weeks.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sculptor Constantin Brancusi had a clear strategy as he produced his art: “Create like God, command like a king, work like a slave.” I suggest you adopt a similar approach for your own purposes in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. With that as your formula, you could make rapid progress on a project that’s dear to you. So make sure you have an inspiring vision of the dream you want to bring into being. Map out a bold, definitive plan for how to accomplish it. And then summon enormous stamina, fierce concentration, and unfailing attention to detail as you translate your heart’s desire into a concrete form. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “If there is one door in the castle you have been told not to go through,” writes novelist Anne Lamott, “you must. Otherwise, you’ll just be rearranging furniture in rooms you’ve already been in.” I think the coming weeks will be your time to slip through that forbidden door, Capricorn. The experiences that await you on the other side may not be everything you have always needed, but I think they are at least everything you need next. Besides, it’s not like the taboo against penetrating into the unknown place makes much sense any more. The biggest risk you take by breaking the spell is the possibility of losing a fear you’ve grown addicted to. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When rain falls on dry land, it activates certain compounds in the soil that release a distinctive aroma. “Petrichor” is the word for that smell. If you ever catch a whiff of it when there’s no rain, it’s because a downpour has begun somewhere nearby, and the wind is bringing you news of it. I suspect that you will soon be awash in a metaphorical version of petrichor, Aquarius. A parched area of your life is about to receive much-needed moisture. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Forty percent of Americans do not know that the dinosaurs died out long before human beings ever existed. When these folks see an old cartoon of caveman Fred Flintstone riding on a Diplodocus, they think it’s depicting a historical fact. In the coming weeks, Pisces, you need to steer clear of people who harbor gross delusions like that. It’s more important than usual that you hang out with educated, cultured types who possess a modicum of well-informed ideas about the history of humanity and the nature of reality. Surround yourself with intelligent influences, please.
