Cormac McCarthy Vintage, 2007 Reviewed by William Johnston You can enjoy reading McCarthy’s Pulitzer Prize winner literally, as a powerful tale of a dying father’s loving care for his 10-year-old son as they journey determinedly through an unfamiliar post-apocalyptic physical world–filled with dust, ashes, cruelty, and gritty fog–toward a coastal region in hopes of life renewed. Most people read it this way. You can also read it metaphorically, where that desolation is a spiritual wilderness and may now seem familiar: where is God in this wasteland? As McCarthy describes, the father awakes one morning, raises his face to a paling day, and whispers in prayer, “Are you there? Will I see you at the last? Have you a neck by which to throttle you? Have you a heart?

Damn you eternally have you a soul? Oh God. Oh God.” Has your life ever traveled through wilderness?

(Resulting from your own doubt? Or from others’ cruelty or life’s spears?) Can you handle this story’s bleakness?

Would you value the insights the metaphorical reading conveys? Can you hope that something better might finally be ahead in that coastal region (even as nothing indicates survival is worthwhile)? Then get this book.

Take the journey with strong heart. God is indeed there, but only as we love. And hope…patiently.

VOLATILITY OF GUN DEBATE

Speaking of transit issues … the 2013 General Assembly is set to conclude next Monday. The Senate looks to have put a stake through the heart of the mass transit bill by delaying the decision until next year when state reps will be subject to election-year concerns such as how to kiss up to people who (incorrectly) call this matter a vote for a tax increase. But for the next few days until the moment the session concludes, basically anything can happen. For transit advocates that means it is time to a) pray for a miracle b) beseech their lawmakers to look for a creative solution this session or c) all of the above. (RT)

Homicide increases dramatic protest backdrop

A

rally in front of U.S. Sen. Dan Coat’s office in Downtown Indianapolis on Saturday underscored the emotional tenor or the debate to enact expanded gun control.

About 30 people joined the rally to “shame” Coats following his vote last Wednesday against a measure to expand background checks. Also at the rally were a few counter-protestors, including a man toting an AK-47.

Coats did not speak to protestors but issued a news release Wednesday underscoring his efforts to insert an amendment to the pending gun bill that “would strengthen criminal gun laws by increasing resources for prosecuting gun trafficking, better enforce the existing background check system and address school safety and mental illness in the criminal justice system.”

The effort, he noted, received bi-partisan support, but failed 52-48.

Protestors were not impressed with the amendment, and instead expressed their frustration with members of Congress they feel are beholden to the gun lobby.

Protestor John McCullough said he feels that Coats “votes for the people of the NRA, and not the people who voted for him,” while fellow rally participant Jim Smith voiced disappointment that “we have a Congress that’s for sale … That bothers me as much as anything about this.”

Organizing for Action and Mayors Against Illegal Guns organized the event.

A man carrying an assault rifle who refused to give his name, but who later stated he was a licensed dealer, interrupted the protest along with John Levy, who said, “I don’t own a gun, and I don’t have a permit, but I’m concerned with how our government is encroaching on our civil liberties.”

Cameron Wild, who said he has served two months in Afghanistan and has one more month to go, said he felt that the effort for expanded control “disrespects” his uniform “because I fought for our country and I respect gun rights.”

But Louis Burgess Jr, who became so upset with the licensed dealer that police officers had to come between them, represented another military man’s point of view.

Burgess said he was active duty with the U.S. Army from 1966-1968, stationed in Panama, where he was a Light Weapons Specialist and followed up with an 11-year

stint in the National Guard. He said he considered assault weapons to be “highly volatile for any civilian.” He is especially frustrated by National Rifle Association insistence that gun control laws are an affront to the Second Amendment. The first part of the amendment — “A wellregulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State” — is upheld by the National Guard, the military and law enforcement, he said, adding that the second part — “the right for people to keep and bear Arms” — underscores the need to have sensible gun control laws to protect that right.

The city’s escalating homicide rate

sets a dramatic backdrop to this debate, as just hours after the rally concluded, Mario Wilson, a 22-year veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps who survived tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, died after being shot in the Denny’s parking lot on North Michigan Road.

Preliminary numbers from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department indicate 36 homicides counted in Marion County by April 20, a 50 percent increase over the same period in 2012.

A new Howey Politics Indiana Poll released Tuesday showed that 83 percent of respondents supported the effort to expand background checks.

In Marion County, about 2,300 have died with HIV/ AIDS since 1981. Community-wide outreach efforts have helped to raise awareness, encouraged testing and improved the quality of life for HAIV/AIDS patients. To further those efforts, dozens of local restaurants support the annual Dine out for Life fundraiser. Dine Out 2013 is set for Thursday, April 25 .

Most restaurants donate 25 percent of the day’s sales to support the Damien Center in its mission to serve people living in Central Indiana with HIV/AIDS.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST QUESTIONS ON ROCKPORT BILL B Y LEIGH D E NO O N EDITORS@NUVO . N ET

Conflict-of-interest questions are being raised about two Indiana state lawmakers who’ve made changes to a Rockport gas plant bill intended to protect natural gas customers from paying for possible losses from an Indiana state contract with Leucadia National Corp.

The contract guarantees that Indiana Gasification, a Leucadia subsidiary, will save natural gas customers $100 million at the end of the 30-year contract term. Ratepayer protections in the bill were weakened by State Rep. Matt Ubelhor, R-Bloomfield, who is operations manager for Peabody Coal’s Viking Mine, and Sen. Jim Merritt, R-Indianapolis, who is the Indiana Rail Road Co.’s vice president for corporate affairs.

As head of the Senate Utility Committee, Merritt introduced an amendment that watchdogs say stripped the bills two most import consumer protections: 1) defining the contract’s “guaranteed savings” and 2) requiring Leucadia to refund to consumers any overpayments every three years.

Likewise, Ubelhor introduced an amendment that stripped similar protections from the House version of the bill.

In response to a request for comment on this story, Merritt issued the following statement: “My employment with the Indiana Rail Road Company has always been completely transparent. I do not believe there is a conflict of interest with this issue. The Indiana Rail Road Company does not serve

Sen. Jim Merritt, R-Indianapolis.

the existing Rockport plant and has no plans to do so under the current proposal.”

Ubelhor did not reply to a request for comment.

According to Kerwin Olson, executive director of the Citizens Action Coalition, ratepayers need the protective legislation because the state contract would otherwise leave them holding the bag.

“The public interest appears to be coming in second place to the special interests,” he charged. “So, we’re obviously hopeful that elected officials will do their due diligence and do their job, and make

sure that the public interest is protected.”

Olson noted that “a lot of monied interests,” from coal to labor, want to see the plant built. He noted that when the House prepared to vote on Ubelhor’s amendment, it declined to use a traditional roll-call vote, which would have recorded the individual votes of each lawmaker, in favor of a Division of House vote, which left only the final vote tally in the public record.

Vectren, an Evansville-based utility, opposes building the coal gasification plant in Rockport and estimates the deal will cost ratepayers over a billion dollars during the first eight years.

Jodi Perras, Indiana representative for the Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal Campaign, said that without legislative protections for consumers, all Indiana natural gas customers and taxpayers are left in a poor financial position.

“Essentially there’s going to be a surcharge on our natural gas bills because of this plant,” she declared. “We’re calling it the Leucadia tax. Leucadia is the name of that New York company that wants to build this plant, using our money and our loan guarantees, so they can make a profit.”

Developers of the $2.8 billion plant say Senate Bill 510 would have killed the project. Rep. Suzanne Crouch, R-Evansville, the House sponsor, hopes to find a way to revive the legislation before the session ends April 29.

BEI BEI SHUAI’S CASE IN INTERNATIONAL SPOTLIGHT B Y D A VE CER O L A EDITORS@NUVO . N ET

Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry has lot of high-profile business on his plate these days —a skyrocketing homicide rate, the Richmond Hill aftermath, not to mention the challenges in making a case against suspended IMPD Officer David Bisard.

But public interest in the case against Bei Bei Shuai trumps them all.

“I have literally, through the combination of my campaign generic email, our office generic email, and my personal email, received tens of thousands of emails from anywhere around the country and world about this matter,” Curry said in an interview Monday.

“The level of misinformation is staggering … (emails that) clearly just do not have a understanding of the fundamental allegations of the case.”

On Dec. 23, 2010, Shuai attempted suicide while she was 33 weeks pregnant by consuming rat poison. Friends saved her, but her baby, who was born via caesarian section Dec. 31, died in her arms on Jan. 3, 2011. In March of 2011, she was charged with murder

and attempted feticide and placed in the Marion County Jail for 14 months without bail. She was released on bail following an order for the Indiana Court of Appeals, but the case against her is ongoing.

“If Terry Curry’s prosecution is upheld, you’re really talking about a system of law that is separate and unequal for pregnant women and any woman of child bearing age,” Lynn Paltrow, executive director of National Advocates for Pregnant Women,

said at an April 6 rally Downtown in support of Shuai. “What you are doing is opening the door in the name of protecting eggs, fetuses, and embryos authorizing the state to investigate, control, and punish every pregnant woman.”

Curry said he understands that people want to debate the provisions of the law, but that his duty remains to enforce the law as it stands under the murder statute, “that the intentional killing of a fetus that has attained viability is murder” and the feticide statue that “terminating a pregnancy through other than a lawful abortion is feticide.”

More than 12,000 people have signed an online petition to protest the prosecution, burying Curry in emails ranging in sentiment from “This is a women who needs Help not punishment. Please drop all charges against her” to “This prosecution is not only STUPID, IT is a crime! The Prosecutor should be arrested, charged with felony oppression under COLOR of law, convicted, imprisoned and DISBARRED!” A motions hearing in the Shuai case is set for at 10:30 a.m. Thursday in Marion County Superior Court 3.

MATT GUTWEIN

BY DAVID HOPPE DHOPPE@NUVO.NET

The man behind the greenest, boldest hospital in the country, Eskenazi Health

“

W

ishard only exists because the people of Indianapolis want it to exist,” says Matt Gutwein, the president and CEO of Marion County’s Health and Hospital Corporation. Soft-spoken and slender, eyes bright behind the dark frames of his glasses, Gutwein is widely credited with presiding over an institutional turnaround of truly epic proportions.

When then-mayor Bart Peterson asked Gutwein to take charge of Wishard, the county’s public hospital, many people probably expected the job would entail closing the 150-year-old facility as gracefully as possible. During the year Gutwein took over, Wishard lost $77 million. It was in a seemingly irreversible downward spiral.

But 10 years and a resounding public referendum later, Wishard has not only been saved, it has been transformed. This December, a new $754 million facility, renamed Eskenazi Health, will open — a state-of-the-art public healthcare center just west of its current IUPUI campus location that represents an upgrade for the city’s public hospital and an invigorated vision for public health overall.

It’s the high point so far of a journey that, for Gutwein, began in Monon, Ind.

Knocking out Mike Tyson U.S. Route 421 runs through the heart of Monon, a town of less than 2,000 people

about 30 miles north of Lafayette. In the middle of the 20th century, when railroads crisscrossed Indiana, the Monon line made the town prosperous. Gutwein’s great grandfather founded a Ford dealership there; five generations of Gutweins have been selling cars at the same location since 1934.

Gutwein worked in his dad’s shop, sweeping floors and washing cars. “If I really got lucky, the guys in the body shop would help me sand. That was a big deal.”

Gutwein majored in economics at Indiana University, then went on to IU’s law school, where he met his future wife, current head of the ACLU of Indiana, Jane Henegar.

Gutwein worked for a federal judge in San Diego for a year before landing a job with a

Washington, D.C., law firm. But Henegar, originally from Bloomington, was keen to return to Indiana in order to be involved with grassroots politics. “She really wanted to work in government,” says Gutwein. “She believed in the good that government can do.”

It was 1991. Indianapolis was in the midst of a massive Downtown makeover. “When we moved back here, there were craters Downtown,” Gutwein recalls. “The first Friday night we were here, we unpacked boxes and went to get something to eat. We could not find a restaurant that was open on a Friday night in downtown Indianapolis.”

Gutwein was working for a law firm, Johnson Smith, when Henegar introduced him to Pam Carter. Carter was running for

attorney general and needed a volunteer to drive her to several engagements in southern Indiana. “My only credentials were that I had a driver’s license and, hopefully, was a reasonably safe driver.”

Gutwein and Carter became friends that day. “I thought she was a person of extraordinary vision and very inspirational,” he says.

And when Carter eventually won her race, becoming the first female African-American state attorney general in the history of the United States, Gutwein was thrilled. “That this happened not in Massachusetts, not in New York, but in Indiana, was fantastic.”

As Carter prepared to take office, she asked Gutwein to join her team. “The advice of essentially every lawyer I talked to about this was, ‘Matt, do not go to work for the attorney general’s office.’ ” For lawyers, working in private practice was considered a stepping-stone to success, whereas the AG’s office was considered a last resort, the place to go for those who couldn’t get hired anywhere else. But Gutwein was undeterred. “I believed in [Carter] and what she could do.”

He took the job and was immediately assigned his first case: Michael G. Tyson v. the State of Indiana.

Heavyweight champion boxer Mike Tyson had been convicted of rape by an Indianapolis jury. Tyson, who was represented in court by Alan Dershowitz, a legal star in his own right, appealed. The case attracted international attention.

The Indiana Attorney General’s office is responsible for handling all appeals of criminal convictions. Carter asked Gutwein to take the lead role for the state and present oral arguments. “It was the first oral argument I’d ever done in my life,” he says, still sounding nonplussed.

Over the next two years, the appeals pro-

cess wended its way through the court system, moving through the Indiana Court of Appeals and state Supreme Court, as well as the federal court system. Gutwein and his team won at every level. “I was three years out of law school, basically. It was a tremendous experience.”

During his time in the AG’s office, Gutwein also presented an oral argument before the U.S. Supreme Court in a case that has become a landmark, Heck v. Humphrey, dealing with federal habeas corpus law.

Then Gov. Evan Bayh tapped Gutwein to be chief counsel to the governor’s office. “The fact that I was there is one of the extraordinary things about Indiana and the opportunities for people [here],” says Gutwein. “Until the governor interviewed me for this job, I’m not sure I had ever actually met him. But I think Indianapolis is a place a young person can become involved and be a participant in a meaningful way. People like Jane and myself, who really didn’t know anybody, who came here without a web of family and business and personal relationships, but who showed up, were willing to work hard and expressed an interest in being involved — people are eager to accept you and help you do that.”

Gutwein soon found himself in a circle that included Peterson, the future Indianapolis mayor. “I was with a group of people who were incredibly talented, beginning with the governor himself,” says Gutwein. “For every decision, they wanted to make sure you’d figured out the implications 10 steps down the road. Gov. Bayh would cross-examine you. Then, that night, he’d call and ask you the same questions again.”

Serving Bayh in this capacity meant that Gutwein was on the front line in thinking through cases involving the death penalty.

“These are sober and somber cases. Both

the attorney general and the governor probed deeply to make sure that the system worked properly and had been fair, and that the outcome, that first a jury and then a judge and then multiple courts of appeals and then a governor was making, was ultimately just. Those were difficult cases.”

When Bayh’s term was up, he and Gutwein both landed at the Indianapolis law firm of Baker and Daniels. For Bayh, it was a temporary resting place before his election to the U.S. Senate. For Gutwein, it was the prelude to his work with Wishard Hospital.

150 years of public health Peterson’s election as mayor of Indianapolis marked the first time a Democrat had held that office in 30 years.

Among the first items to claim his attention was the financial plight of Wishard, the city’s public hospital. Wishard, like a lot of public hospitals across the country, was hemorrhaging money as more and more people without health insurance and limited means turned to the public safety net. Meanwhile, the cost of health care continued to skyrocket.

Peterson asked Gutwein to serve on Wishard’s board. But it wasn’t long before Gutwein made the leap from board member to CEO. He was attracted to the hospital’s mission to “Advocate, Care, Teach and Serve, with special emphasis on the vulnerable populations of Marion County.” The hospital’s history was also a draw.

Indianapolis’ oldest hospital, Wishard was founded before the Civil War, in the 1850’s, in response to a small pox epidemic.

The city ordered that small pox sufferers be quarantined in what amounted to an intern-

ment camp. “They ordered them to go live in tents,” says Gutwein, “next to the city dump, on a swamp, by the edge of the river.” This tent city existed for five years before the city decided to erect a wooden building, called “the Pest House,” for the victims of disease.

With the outbreak of the Civil War, the Pest House was commandeered by the Union Army, which used it for wounded soldiers. The army expanded the facility and reinforced it with brick. When the war ended, the hospital was turned over to the city. It was named Indianapolis General, then Marion County General Hospital, before being known as Wishard, named for its chief administrator in the late 1800s.

“It has always played this unique role, which was to care for the indigent and principally minority and new immigrant populations,” says Gutwein. For years, Wishard was the only hospital in town that would accept African-American patients.

If you couldn’t speak English, or had no money, you went to Wishard. “So it was always on the thin edge of insolvency.”

What buttressed Wishard was its connection, going back to 1901, with the Indiana University Medical School. “Professors of medicine would practice there and train doctors, so there was a level of quality that made it an important place. It has played this role of providing a place for those who don’t have any other place to go, but also creating the future healthcare professionals: doctors, nurses, therapists.”

In a sense, Wishard has anticipated larger changes in society. It was the first Indiana hospital to hire an African-American doctor and an African-American nurse; the first to create a training program for AfricanAmericans, to offer a hospital-based ambulance service and to equip ambulances with radios. Wishard was on the cutting edge of NUVO // 100% RECYCLED PAPER // 04.24.13 - 05.01.13 // COVER STORY 13

that we ought to have a quality public hospital for everyone to go to.”

Keeping people well adopting electronic medical records. It created the first community mental health center in the state; and the first level one trauma center.

These services, although in great demand, were, and continue to be, costly. As a result, public hospitals in cities like Washington, D.C., Detroit and Los Angeles were forced to close for lack of funds. “Demand for care goes up and reimbursement rates go down,” says Gutwein. “If you’re not managed really carefully, it’s easy to fail quickly. Given that health care is driven by personnel, if all of a sudden you hire too many people and funding goes down, you can be bankrupt.”

Gutwein took the top job at Wishard in December of 2002. The hospital would lose $77 million that year. That in little more than a decade, Wishard has not only gotten its fiscal house in order, but is on the threshold of being transformed into Eskenazi Health, must rank as one of the great turnarounds in Indianapolis history.

It could not have happened without a groundswell of community support.

In 2009, at the bottom of the Great Recession, Gutwein and his board brought Wishard’s future to a vote by putting forth a public referendum asking citizens to support $600 million in bonds to build a new facility.

The result was practically unprecedented.

Eighty-five percent of voters said yes to the proposal; the yes vote prevailed in every one of the county’s 522 precincts — in 33 of those precincts, it was unanimous. “Every corner of the city, north, south, east, west, everybody said, ‘we think it’s important to have a quality public hospital,’ ” says Gutwein.

Underscoring the intention behind the yes vote was the fact that two school referenda appeared on the same ballot, and both were rejected. “The same voters that said, ‘We’re not so sure about those school programs’ still voted yes for Wishard.”

Gutwein detected a recurring theme at public meetings in the run-up to the vote.

People kept saying that if their city could afford to build new stadia for its professional teams, surely it could find a way to build a new public hospital. “People felt it was morally correct, that it was part of our values, 14

“The overriding theme that we’ve brought to this is how do we keep people from getting sick in the first place,” says Gutwein.

“How do we promote health and wellness and get at the root causes of illness so people don’t wind up being very ill — and very expensive — patients?”

According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, the average cost per day for in-patient care in Indiana is roughly $2,000.

In Indianapolis, the cost is closer to $3,500.

That’s a tab taxpayers cover.

Gutwein and the public health team at Wishard are working on an array of strategies aimed at providing people with effective forms of treatment that either prevent or curtail the amount of time any of us has to spend in the hospital.

This begins with Housecalls, a program designed for the elderly. A team of doctors, nurses and social workers drive around the city, bringing care to several hundred elders in their homes. These are people who prefer and are able to live at home, but who need help — to get the right meds, to stick with their therapies.

“If they don’t get any help at home, they’re going to get it in the hospital,” says Gutwein, “and that’s incredibly expensive. They don’t want to be there. It’s not good for their outlook and their health to be in our hospital every day.”

Another public program addresses the needs of homeless people, many of whom suffer from mental illnesses. For years these people have been treated through the emergency room. They are then released, only to come back again.

Healthcare providers at Wishard wondered what might happen if they provided the homeless with housing that included counseling, psychiatric services and access to medicines.

“We learned that model was extremely successful for many patients with a certain illness,” says Gutwein. “It was in the best interest of the patient, and in the best interest of the city because it allowed that person to be productive.

It was economically more prudent for us. We spent less money leasing housing and providing services at the housing than had we provided that care in the passive way.”

Today, Wishard maintains 300 such units in various neighborhoods around the city.

Gutwein estimates that they have cut the days

of in-patient care per year from, on average, nine to one, saving taxpayers millions of dollars.

“People ask why are we in the housing business? We’re in the business of caring for people. And for certain people, the very best way to care for them is to provide housing and care at that place.”

Wishard’s Medical Legal Partnership program, inspired by work being done at Massachusetts General Hospital, attempts to get at the root causes of illnesses that are connected to the patient’s environment. Asthma, for example, is the No. 1 reason most children are brought to the ER. In many cases, that asthma is the result of decrepit housing, where mold and dust mites proliferate.

“Our doctors can fix those symptoms,” says Gutwein, “then you send them home and it starts all over again.”

The Medical Legal Partnership connects parents with pro bono lawyers who intervene with deadbeat landlords. “A lawyer can write that letter to a landlord, letting that landlord know they need to comply with the various housing codes, or else,” says Gutwein.

“We’ve been able to help thousands of families where the medical problem was a symptom of some other life condition that a lawyer can help with.”

If you are shot or stabbed in Indianapolis, the chances are you’ll wind up at Wishard’s level one trauma center. “Many of those victims come in because they were involved in a dangerous lifestyle,” says Gutwein. And more than one third of the victims of what is called “penetrating trauma” will be back again a second time: “They’re going right back to the activity that caused them to be in the hospital in the first place.”

Wishard has adopted a breakthrough program, initiated by San Francisco General, that dramatically cuts this recidivism rate. “It’s based on the simple insight that when a young man is lying on a gurney and has just come out of surgery, that is a teachable moment.”

It’s a moment when trained social workers who have themselves lived through similar experiences can intervene in a victim’s life by offering concrete ways to change that life, whether through drug and alcohol counseling, connection to other community organizations, a GED program or food pantries. In three years, Wishard has seen its penetrating trauma recidivism rate drop from 35 percent to 1 percent.

“The murder rate is down in this city,” says Gutwein. “It’s down for a variety of reasons.

But I am confident that one of those reasons is because of this program.”

The new Wishard As its name implies, Health and Hospital’s goal is to put the health of Marion County’s residents first. But when a hospital stay is called for, patients will soon have the benefit of a facility that is state-of-the-art.

Renamed Eskenazi Health — the name honors Sidney and Lois Eskenazi, an Indianapolis couple who donated $40 million for the project — the new public hospital is set to open Dec. 7.

“Research suggests the bio-medical model only accounts for about 15 percent of healing,” says Gutwein. “We’re trying to address that other 85 percent as well.”

The new hospital will not only be LEED certified for its green design features, but it will also feature a sky farm, a 5,000-squarefoot rooftop garden, where it will grow fresh produce to help feed patients and

Eskenazi Health how green is it?

This state of the art facility is one of ten hospitals (out of 5,800) in the US built to USGBC LEED Silver certification or higher.

Note, though, that once the overall campus of Eskenazi is taken into account (outpatient parking, parking garage, faculty building, etc.), Eskenazi will be the nation’s first multi-facility hospital campus to be fully certified LEED Silver or higher. Look for upcoming NUVO stories for more details as we get closer to the December, 2013 opening.

According to Eskenazi Health, the hospital will serve “20 percent more patients in one-third less space with 45 percent less energy use and up to 12 percent lower operating costs.”

Other attributes include: • A green roof design incorporates plant life and a white roof, reducing heat on the buildings and urban heat sink impact.

• Advanced outside air delivery and ventilation, including CO2 monitoring, reduces spread of infection, improves indoor air quality.

• Employees will be encouraged to embrace alternative transportation options with designated parking for alternative fuel, high occupancy, carpool and vanpool vehicles. Bike racks and showers will encourage biking to the facility.

• Designated recycling areas for plastic, glass, metals, paper, and corrugated cardboard.

• Potable water use savings system through self-sustaining rain water irrigation for landscaping.

• Enhanced plumbing features to reduce water usage.

So far during construction: • 94% of all waste has been directed away from landfills.

• 85% of wood products are from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified forests.

• 63% of all planned project materials come from less than 500 miles away of the building site.

• 44% of all planned project materials are from recycled products.

staff, utilize specially commissioned works of art and create a significant new public space, called Eskenazi Commons.

Anyone who has had the misfortune to stay in a hospital knows that hospital food often represents a self-defeating proposition. The stuff can be notoriously inedible.

But under the leadership of Dr. Lisa Harris, Wishard’s CEO and medical director, the hospital has revolutionized the concept.

Harris began by encouraging staff members to begin cultivating plots on the Wishard campus. From there, she saw to it that fresh produce was utilized by the hospital food service, and that affordable vegetarian options were on offer in the cafeteria.

These efforts have been extended to the larger community through Wishard’s investment in local farmers’ markets and community gardens, as well as through public nutrition classes that provide locally grown fruits and vegetables at reduced prices.

The sky farm takes these efforts to another level. It will place a fully functioning farm on the roof of the new Eskenazi building.

“We want to get patients out of their hospital beds and walking among those beautiful, green, living vegetables, fruits, and herbs and flowers,” says Gutwein. Research, he says, shows that access to such a place improves patient motivation, mental state and healing.

A sky farmer will also be on hand to engage with patients by talking with them about how they can grow, purchase and prepare food once they get home. “If we can have a farm on the eighth story of a building, you can have one in your backyard or a vacant lot.”

Food grown at the sky farm will be used by the hospital food service. “We will emphasize that people are eating the very food they are looking at,” says Gutwein. “It’s also a statement about our city. We want to say that the public hospital having a sky farm is part of the values we share as a city.”

The hospital will also use works of art as a way of adding value to the healing experience. “We want to find ways to create optimism and hope,” says Gutwein. “We think art is important for that.”

Local, national and international artists have been commissioned to create pieces.

Among the local artists whose work will be on view are Casey Roberts, Tim Ryan and Artur Silva. Richard Ross, an acclaimed photographer, whose work is in the collections of the Getty Museum and the Museum of Modern Art, is collaborating with IPS school

children to create a permanent installation made up of scores of images the students have collected using Genie cameras.

The installation will reflect the city as seen through the kids’ eyes and will be on view in the pediatric waiting room.

Eskenazi Commons grew out of Gutwein’s observation that the public hospital is a microcosm containing the city’s multitudes.

“It occurred to me that on that piece of real estate, on any given day, may be the greatest diversity found in the state of Indiana.” He saw great minds of medical research mingling with students from every continent on earth; patients from over 100 countries of origin representing every conceivable socioeconomic class. It seemed like an opportunity to create a dynamic public space. “A public space, if you do it right, is the most democratic space there is.”

When Gutwein began researching specialists in landscape architecture, one name kept recurring: the Olin Studio, a group, founded by Laurie Olin and associated with such spaces as Bryant Park and Columbus Circle in New York, and the Independence Mall in Philadelphia.

“I just cold called.” Gutwein still seems a little surprised by his chutzpah. He found himself on the phone with David Rubin, a Rome Prize winner, who has since founded his own firm, Land Collective. “Within a week he was here in Indianapolis.”

Gutwein’s vision for Eskenazi Commons is to have a public place where human connections and relationships are encouraged and nurtured. “The whole purpose is community and place-making. We want to draw and attract people. We’re doing this because we think it heals people.”

Since 2009, when the people of Marion County expressed their overwhelming desire for a new public hospital, Gutwein has felt obliged to turn that support into something visible the community can be proud of — something that makes a statement. “I’ll let others decide whether they like the design of our hospital. But we wanted to create a civic building. It’s a building that’s owned by the people and represents Indianapolis. We wanted it to add to the architectural vocabulary of the city, so we wanted it to be a building that represents some of our best aspirations.”

Gutwein sees Eskenazi Health as building on a legacy that has been sustained by citizens for 150 years. “It’s been an incredible privilege to be part of this.”

Stewart Huff surfs the interstates for beautiful junk

B Y K A TH ER INE C O P L E N KCOPLEN@NUVO . N ET

A

thens, Ga.-based standup Stewart Huff has been on the road for 16 years.

It’s a solitary experience. Some comics drink; some sleep the day away. Huff hunts for junk. He delights in the nostalgic (pictures of children crying on Santa’s lap), the functional (a locally sourced brown sectional couch) and the absurd (medieval swords).

“Look at this,” Huff says, leaning over the rough-hewn wooden table at Locally Grown Gardens, cell phone in hand. “I found this couch here just last week.” It’s dark brown, he found it in Indy and he’s taking it home with him.

Huff has been in Indiana four times in the past couple years, performing at the White Rabbit Cabaret, accompanying a burlesque performance; at Crackers Downtown; at Blooomington’s Dunnkirk.

His 2012 IndyFringe Festival show Donating Sperm to My Sister’s Wife was a blazing 50-minute set on life, love and sperm including the line, “I’ve been trying not to be preachy lately, but I’m failing.”

And he’s also found some really excellent junk around these parts. He looks for “the happy,” as he calls it: armless wooden mermaids, lamps with corncob bases. The happy isn’t just junk, though. It’s also the collection of weirdos that Huff meets along the way. He engages them and often integrates them into his act.

“It’s not my personality to get on a plane and fly over the interesting,” he says in the trailer for the new documentary Road Comics, in which he stars. “It’s what happens from here to there that’s what I talk about.”

His devotion to the road drew the attention of Indiana University associate prof Susan Seizer, who produced Road Comics.

The film follows Huff, along with quiet, Nashville-based wordsmith Tim Northern and self-described “preacher’s kid gone bad” Kristin Key, as they work dozens of comedy clubs dotted all over the country.

Huff’s routines include stories about the road, told in his quietly lilting Southern accent. He also talks of his two younger sisters, including one with special needs who harbors an intense love of the Backstreet Boys. The other sister, the subject of his Fringe show, has been married to her wife for over 16 years. And, yes, Huff really did donate his procreational material — his sister’s wife is due on May 7.

From gay marriage, immigration and abortion to daily experiences of racism, Huff spares nary a word when harshly critiquing the structural inequalities that exist in America. But he’s not a negative comic: His act includes lines about

his belief in the power of the poor (“the only people who get anything done in America”) and his admiration of the “unbeatable human spirit.”

“The act I do, you either want to hug me or hit me,” Huff says. “There’s no middle ground.” He’s not exaggerating: Huff’s been punched in the face twice onstage.

“I get so much resistance at comedy clubs,” Huff says. “And I really thought (Indy)Fringe would be a big ball of acceptance, but it wasn’t, at all. I had a lady at the Fringe festival who said, ‘You were very good, but I don’t think you should be allowed to say these things,’ and then she walked away. But then she comes back, and says, ‘I just don’t think you should be allowed to say those things in public.’”

Not that Huff is necessarily trying to provoke. “This new show was not written to piss off rednecks,” he says. “But I will say, it sure seems to do the trick.”

That new show he’s talking about is called I Named My Penis Linda,

which he’ll preview this weekend at IndyFringe’s Basile Theater, alongside longtime friend, musician and fellow comedian Paul Strickland.

They’ve traveled the country together for years, “like a couple of misfit Johnny Appleseeds,” Strickland writes. Their show Thursday will combine song (Strickland) and story (Huff). They’re both working on new material; Huff plans to perform Penis in full at Bloomington’s inaugural Limestone Comedy Fest. It’s classic Huff: an exploration of controversial issues pinned down by “the happy.”

“How can I find the key that’s going to open [a bit] up?” he says. “That’s going to change the mind of that one person sitting there?”

Some went home, but most stayed at the Circle Theatre Saturday night to hear the announcement of the new American Pianists Association Christel DeHaan Classical Fellow. DeHaan, speaking from the Circle stage, told us herself: the new Fellow is Sean Chen, 24, of New Haven, Conn.

Chen gets $50,000, plus engagements, recordings and other professional assistance worth at least $100,000. Unlike most music competitions, there are no second-or-third-place winners.

The remaining four finalists — Andrew Staupe, Eric Zuber, Claire Huangci, and Sara Daneshpour — each get $10,000.

Though I was very impressed with Chen during the Premiere Series, my allusion then to his possibly walking away with the prize indicates no prescience on my part. The sets of jurors — one for the initial audition CDs, another for the Premiere Series and yet a third for the just concluded Discovery Week — heard far more of these five artists.

And following the first Finals concert, I was inclined toward Daneshpour and her superlative account of the Chopin E Minor Concerto. The next evening, Chen played Bartók’s Concerto No. 2 (1931), a work filled with craggy, rapid chords and no soul. I could not assess Chen’s playing in that work, excepting his supreme technical ability to bang out those chords.

CONSTANCE’S FANTASTIC STUDIO

Stutz celebrates 20 years of open houses B Y D A N GR O SSMA N EDITORS@NUVO . N ET

I

recently met up with Constance Scopelitis in her studio as she prepared for this weekend’s 20th Annual Stutz Artists Open House. Scopelitis has been a working artist at the Stutz since 1993, and took part in the complex’s first open house, then called an “open studio tour.”

She’s putting together a retrospective of her work over the past twenty years for the event, though paintings featuring Barbie, an occasional subject of hers over the years (she still has her childhood Barbie), will be absent. I tried to hide my disappointment, though one of her Barbie-inspired pieces will make it into her show at the Conrad Hilton next month.

Those acquainted with the First Friday scene have probably seen Scopelitis’ work in group shows or hanging in the Conrad.

But the Stutz Open House will offer fans and newcomers alike the first opportunity to get a sense of her career trajectory, including straight-ahead portraiture dating from the early ‘90s; collage-like narrative work executed in her signature oil-on-linen style; and an interactive multimedia painting, “The Whole World is Watching,” that features a video image of the viewer’s own face.

Scopelitis, who grew up in Irvington and graduated with a degree in Fine Arts from Indiana University in 1977, is very fond of her studio. She told me that she credits the space with affording her the concentration and serenity that she needed in order to reach her current level of success on a national level.

NUVO: What’s kept you in this space for so long?

CONSTANCE SCOPELITIS: The vibe in this space is so good. And at night the view from these windows goes straight down the alley to the Capitol building. Because I tend to work large, I have room to really move around the space. I’ve started putting more and more things on wheels, which is awesome because then I can reconfigure where I put my stuff. I’m getting ready to do that with my worktable too. So I can just move stuff out of the way and then I can really have long vision of things.

NUVO: It’s quite a view of downtown you have out these windows.

SCOPELITIS: Yeah. I see the sunset everyday in here. Even on cloudy days when the sun sinks below the cloud line I still have a beautiful view. You know, though, I’m not inspired by landscapes.

NUVO: Can you tell me something about your formative experiences at IU Bloomington?

Tom Leighton’s digital photographic collage, “Parade,” is the first work to greet you as you walk into the current show at the Evan Lurie Gallery. An amalgam of Tokyo, Chicago, and Hollywood cityscapes, “Parade” might just resemble the landscape of your dreams.

Leighton’s photographic collages celebrate the kind of place where the party is never supposed to stop — and the party is still going at the Lurie Gallery, despite recent troubles. The art on display is of the kind you might see in top galleries in any of the aforementioned cities.

Top-notch sculpture is on view in the form of Przemyslaw Lasak’s life-size Terra cotta and metal “Female Samurai Warrior” and Alexandra de Lazareff’s bronze “Cyberdada.” “Female Samurai” is a barebreasted figure that seems to owe more to the artist’s imagination than to actual history. “Cyberdada,” a horse with a gear shaft for innards, is an ode of sorts to Dada. There’s something of the spirit of Dada in Nick Veasey’s X-ray photographic prints on display here.

(In Veasey’s catalogue you can, in fact, find an X-ray image entitled “X-Duchamp” picturing a urinal.) But the Veasey image that really grabbed me was that of a skeleton reading a newspaper. Who among us could stand up to the withering scrutiny of an X-ray laying bare the hidden aspects of our lives?

SCOPELITIS: I’m going there ten days a month. I’m straddling. I can’t replace this fantastic studio. I just can’t. But the mojo on the street is just fantastic. I’m a real urban kind of person. I love the energy in New York, and I soak it up, and I work in a very small studio there. And then I’ll come back here and work larger. I’ve got just under 1200 square feet, whereas in New York it’s more like 250.

recruited one day by Barry Gealt. He said, “You just have to paint. You can draw. So now let’s get to painting.” And I was so embarrassed at the time because I knew that I didn’t have the money to buy the paints. So Barry Gealt said not to worry. He was going to give me all of his used scrub brushes, and if I just would go out and buy four colors, he would let me be in his painting class. And I could just do value studies by using cerulean blue, raw umber, burnt umber and white. So I did that for a whole semester, just painted in four colors.

And then at Christmas I was able to get paint as gifts from family members and go into painting full color.

REVIEWS Booth 4 MFA FELLOWS & STUDENTS AT BUTLER UNIVERSITY w Werewolves and folk singers and and the syllabus for your end-of-the-world prep class. The fourth installment of Booth, the literary journal produced by MFA fellows and students at Butler University, exudes vitality on every page. The journal begins with four poems by Booth’s 2012 Poetry Prize winner, Aubrey Ryan, who weaves together language of the earth and of the stream, creating images that feel fresh, vibrant, ancient and timeless. “...Ask to be/ sky and soil beneath. Ask to be hills: old/and holding a sure drum of earth.” Dustin Harbin provides comics and artwork both simple and complex. One piece, “The Devil You Know,” marries the stuffed head of a twelvepoint buck and a pair of chic black knee-high boots; another, “The Werewolf,” portrays the harsh transition from man and beast, and the questions that arise on the other side. There’s an interview with Joe Blair, whose memoir, By the Iowa Sea, details his experiences working as an HVAC repairman during the 2008 Iowa flood and was recognized by Publisher’s Weekly as one of the top ten memoirs published in 2012. One key point from the interview: Fiction and nonfiction aren’t all that different. “All writing is fiction. We strike a pose. We hold the pose. And then we strike another.” Among several stories and comics that speak from the sheltered and unknowing perspective of childhood is Joshua Unikel’s “An Essay Concerning Human Understanding,” which deconstructs the psychology of Cookie Monster: His lack of understanding, or rather, his perception of his lack of understanding; his insecurity; his genius, perhaps.

“Cookie Monster doesn’t need to keep up appearances or save face. Though his eyes meander and bounce, his gaze is subtly fixed on what he wants.” For lit nerds and recreational readers alike. Available from booth.butler.edu.

nn Patchett is that rare writer whose books hit the sweet spot: they’re smart and thoughtful, but also make you want to know what happens next. She’s written six novels; her debut, The Patron Saint of Liars was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year, but her fourth, Bel Canto, was her breakthrough, winning the Orange Prize and PEN/Faulkner Award in 2001. The Washington Post dubbed her most recent novel, State of Wonder, as 2011’s “smartest, most exciting novel of the summer.”

Patchett has also written two nonfiction books and countless essays. More recently, she’s become a champion of the independent bookstore community. When Nashville, Tenn., her hometown, lost its last bookstore, she and a business partner opened Parnassus Books in 2011.

Patchett will present the 36th annual Marian McFadden Memorial Lecture, sponsored by The Indianapolis Public Library Foundation, on April 26. She spoke with NUVO about the work of writing, why we can’t always be leaders, and what she’s learned from opening a bookstore.

NUVO: Can you tell us a bit about your upcoming lecture?

ANN PATCHETT: Lecture seems too strong a word; it’s a talk. A lecture sounds a little punishing, and it’s funnier than that. I have been talking a lot about work lately—the pleasures of work, and thinking about art more in terms of work and practice than in terms of creativity, inspiration, and the muse. I’m sure I will also talk about the importance of books and libraries and bookstores. Those are issues that are very near to my heart these days.

NUVO: You seem to range far and wide with the characters you write: they hold a variety of jobs, live in different hometowns, and often travel to far-flung places. What is your research process like in order to create so many disparate worlds?

PATCHETT: I personally like a book in which

things happen, and I like to write a book in which things happen, because it’s just more interesting. If I think about writing a book over the course of two years, there’s got to be a lot going on just to make me want to show up for work every day and to keep myself engaged in the process. I really enjoy research and writing outside of my own experience. I don’t set out to stand on my head or twist myself into a knot, yet I find that often that is exactly what I’m doing. I like to think, “Wow, I don’t really know anything about evolutionary biology or opera or the Amazon, and this is going to be a really good excuse for me to learn.” That’s the best thing about writing novels, or writing anything: you can use it as an excuse to stay in school your whole life, and keep doing research on different things. It’s continuing education.

NUVO: In What Now?, based on your 2006 commencement address at your alma mater Sarah Lawrence College, you emphasize some qualities that we don’t hear much about these days: modesty, humility, learning to follow, and being still.

it, and I got so much out of it. My husband and I listened to it together on a long car trip. He’s an extrovert, I’m an introvert, and it was a wonderful way to have a conversation and say, “Oh, you’re not wrong, this is just the way you’re hardwired.” I’m so sick of leadership. I was just asked to be the keynote speaker at a leadership conference, which has happened more than once, especially since I’ve opened this bookstore. And I just keep saying that we can’t all be leaders; it’s like setting people up for failure. I think true leadership is something so rare and innate. The notion that every school, Boy Scout Troop, and conference for adults is about leadership just seems like madness, because that’s not what life’s about. Life is really about shaking off some of your giant personality and working in a team and helping other people. The notion that if you try hard you’ll always get to be the one out front is really sick.

Applications can be obtained on the website or by calling 317-431-0118.

NUVO: Since opening Parnassus, you’ve become known not only for your writing but also as an advocate for bookstores and the communities they nurture. What have you learned?

PATCHETT: I’ve been surprised by how much I’ve enjoyed it. I never thought that I was doing something that would be seen as trendsetting or particularly surprising or important. I never thought that I would become the sort of industry spokesperson that I have become. I’ve really enjoyed that aspect a lot—sticking up for bookstores, which I think of as sticking up for my friends. On a day-to-day level, I love making people read the books that I love. My whole life I’ve been saying to my friends and family, “I love this book, you have to read this book.” And now I can say it to a much wider audience, both to people in the bookstore, and in the blog—a word that I hate so much I can barely stand to say it—that I write about what I’m reading every month.

NUVO: Bel Canto is being adapted as an opera by the Lyric Opera of Chicago.

Lyric’s creative consultant Renée Fleming first approached you about this?

PATCHETT: It was Renée’s idea; we’re friends.

All I can say is, “We’ll see.” I love the Lyric, I love my friend Renée, I have great confidence in the people that they’ve chosen, and that said, I have seen so many projects fall through. My experience with movies is the thing that’s taught me not to be involved.

I really love what I do, and what I do is sit home alone and write books. Creative collaboration is just not my cup of tea. That’s not because it’s my work or because I’m sensitive or don’t want people changing my work; I just don’t want to sit down with a group of people and try to make art.

NUVO: Tell us about your upcoming essay collection.

PATCHETT: I have been writing essays for a really long time, and for a long time that’s how I made my living. I started off as a teacher, realized that I didn’t want to do that, and supported my life as a fiction writer by doing magazine work. Several people have asked me to do this book, and I’ve always been really hesitant about it, because I don’t think of that as what I do.

But I went back and put together a group of essays, and then I kept rereading. I would read the book through and think, “Who is the weak sister?” I would pull out which-

ever essay seemed the worst, and then I would write a new essay to take its place. I did that over and over again for about two years. I’m hoping that it has a real shape and is entirely strong. I find when I read books of essays, it seems that often there will be two or three or four brilliant essays in a collection, and then a bunch of filler.

NUVO: Why did you choose the title This Is the Story of a Happy Marriage?

PATCHETT: If I could put it down into a pitch line, it’s a book about the things in my life that I feel married to, or the things I am deeply committed to, which are books, writing, dogs, family and friends, and my husband.

NUVO: Was it working on these essays that got you thinking about writing as work?

PATCHETT: It’s really something that I had been thinking about for a long time.

Reading that Malcolm Gladwell book, Outliers, which talks about the whole theory of 10,000 hours [of practice to become good at something]—I really believe that.

I don’t believe that everybody can be a writer or that everybody can write at the same level. I know there is an element of talent in this. But people who go far are the people who understand how to work.

NUVO: Discipline is a key in Gladwell’s theory, but one thing he didn’t address is passion.

PATCHETT: I was really like some laboratory test rat that pushed a button for a grain of corn. Even when I was really young, it was telling a story that got me the grain of corn. Because of that, I put my little rat nose to that button over and over and over again. One of the metaphors that I’ve been thinking about a lot lately is that talent is a match. If you want to stay warm for your entire life, you have to think about all the wood that you’re going to split, all the fire that you’re going to have to tend over the course of a lifetime. Yes, you need the match. You need that initial spark and that initial flame. But in this point in my life, I am so far away from that match, and it has been about splitting wood and keeping warm and keeping alive.

Redford’s Weather Underground movie is a dud

BY ED JO H NS O N- O T T E DJOHNSONOTT@ N U VO . N ET

I

n the late ‘60s I was a card-carrying member of the SDS — Students for a Democratic Society — and let me tell you, the emergence of the SDS splinter group that came to be known as the Weather Underground made my brain ache. It was tough enough trying to stop the war in Vietnam from the halls of Warren Central High School, especially with the dean of boys labeling me a communist for passing out anti-draft pamphlets to the other senior boys. Then the Weather Underground reared their heads, insisting that violent tactics were necessary to end the war and generally behaving like left-wing versions of the blockheads we were protesting.

Robert Redford directs and stars in The Company You Keep, an investigative drama involving a group of Weather Underground members and sympathizers being pursued in contemporary times over the killing of a security guard back in their activist days.

Like most Redford-directed films (Ordinary People, A River Runs Through It, The Horse Whisperer, The Conspirator), it is reserved in tone, even during heated moments. The movie starts off strong, but becomes predictable and contrived towards the end.

Barely serviceable as a mystery, it works better as a showcase for an impressive group of older actors.

In addition to 76-year-old Redford, The Company You Keep showcases Susan Sarandon (age 66), Julie Christie (72), Nick Nolte (72), Chris Cooper (61), Brendan Gleeson (58), Stephen Root (61) and Sam Elliott (68). The pre-AARP crowd is represented by Shia LaBeouf, Anna Kendrick, Terrence Howard, Stanley Tucci and Jackie Evancho. The older group is uniformly fine, even though most of their roles demand they carry themselves somberly. Oh, does this movie scream for a burst or two of unreserved joy. The rest of the cast delivers as well, though I wonder

whether Shia LaBeouf is annoying as part of his character or if he’s just doing what comes naturally.

Redford plays Jim Grant, a lawyer raising his 11-year-old daughter (Evancho) in an Albany suburb when his past comes back to bite him. After Weather Underground fugitive Sharon Solarz (Sarandon) gets popped by the FBI shortly before she was going to turn herself in, the case draws the attention of the press, specifically Ben Shepard (LaBeouf), a reporter that is viewed with distain by Redford’s charac-

ter for his opportunistic approach to his craft. Shepard soon uncovers the fact that Redford’s character is really Nick Sloan, a Weather Underground fugitive who used to look like the Sundance Kid. Jim/Nick takes off – to assume a new identity or perhaps to clear his name – with Ben the reporter investigating his fanny off and the FBI – embodied by Howard – playing catch up.

I was entertained and reasonably engaged by the movie, but the production never takes flight. It’s too studied, too bloodless, and a key plot twist isn’t very surprising (hint: when a movie provides a seemingly needless detail like “She’s my second wife” you can rest assured the fact will be revealed to be important). Want to see a good movie about radicals and repercussions? Watch Running on Empty. Want to see a parade of well-regarded older actors in a solid, unspectacular story? Here you go.

REVIEW

REVIEW

No t Gael Garcia Bernal stars in a thin, but lively factbased story of the 1988 campaign to convince the Chilean electorate to vote no to the prospect of another eight years of being ruled by military dictator Augusto Pinochet. A big part of the campaign is simply to convince citizens that their vote will actually mean something. Bernal’s character is an ad man who startles many by applying techniques from regular ads to politics. Interesting as far as it goes. Opens Friday at Landmark Keystone Art. (R)

Oblivion t Tom Cruise stars in a great looking but anemic sci-fi tale set on a devastated post-war Earth (yawn … is there any other kind?). The first half plays like a live-action Wall-E, only without the humor or poetry.

The second half tries to get Matrix -y, but the story is flimsy and confusing. Even the presence of Morgan Freeman in way-cool sunglasses can’t make the story soar as high as the visuals. (PG-13)

‘New Latin’ restaurant finally opens on College Ave

BY B EN MAD E SK A EDITORS@NU VO . N ET

T

he owners of Delicia have faced two years of legal fighting over its liquor license and parking lot and variances, but the time was not wasted. The upscale casual restaurant finally opened its doors on March 5 and already feels like a neighborhood institution.

Owned by some of the same people who own Northside Social, Delicia fills what had long been a vacant property whose Movie Gallery label scar had been a blight on an otherwise bustling intersection. Designer Nancy Ficca, also a Delicia partner, has created an atmosphere that is chic, contemporary and comfortable, with painted brick walls, exposed wooden beams and cushioned bench seating.

There’s a buzz in the restaurant as customers discover new dishes, and even introduce recipes to the staff. “We have had so much great neighborhood support,” operating partner Nicole Harlan-Oprisu says. “We want people from the neighborhood to feel comfortable walking or riding their bike over, and having some guacamole and margaritas. We’ll change the menu up a few times a year and keep it fresh.

There are so many dishes we want to do.”

The menu, years in the making, is a fresh take on Latin food and culture from Executive Chef Miguel Cordero and Chef de Cuisine Ricardo Martinez. It combines the culinary traditions of Latin America, the Caribbean, and Spain into a blend the restaurant describes as “new Latin.”

“There just wasn’t anything like it in the neighborhood, or really in the city, that melds all the different styles of Latin cuisine,” explained Harlan-Oprisu. “There are things on our menu that are traditional and familiar to customers, and definitely some things that are not. We can accommodate

everyone’s desire to explore.”

One meal begins with an amuse-bouche of Sancocho, a traditional Latin American soup. It’s rich and flavorful, an excellent introduction to the menu. The guacamole is also worth trying. Delicia adds pistachios to their guac, and the subtle nuttiness of the pistachios complements the avocado, not a combination I had ever tasted before.

Another standout is the Tostones con Longaniza. Delicia had trouble importing longaniza, a traditional sausage found in many Latin cultures, from the Dominican Republic, so the restaurant worked with the sausage experts at Goose the Market to create it in town.

For entrees, the Chile en Nogada is a welldone, traditional Mexican dish not often seen around Indianapolis. It’s a roasted poblano pepper stuffed with beef, walnuts,

OUR VEGETABLE LOVES According to a 2006 United Nations report, livestock — and the measures that we take to eat that livestock, from farm to masticating molars — are responsible for 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, more than all forms of transportation combined. For those inclined to reduce their carbon footprints on Earth Day weekend, here are a few meat-less options for dining out.

3 Sisters Café Don’t let Guy Fieri scare you away with his spiky hair and unaccountable enthusiasm (the TV host visited 3 Sisters for his Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives program). There are any number of reasons to love this venerable Broad Ripple staple. The location is great, the staff is friendly and the food is always good — and it’s offered a horn of plenty-full of vegetarian and vegan dishes for over 15 years. Standouts include the 3 Sisters (brie, berries and applies on multigrain wheat toast), BBQ Grains (with sweet potatoes and apple butter BBQ sauce) and Linda’s Waldorf (with edamame and feta).

6360 Guilford Ave., 257-5556

Saigon Meat-eaters may opt for the traditional Pho or the rustic pork or catfish, but plenty of excellent options make no recourse to animal protein, including the vegetarian salad (grilled tofu, daikon, carrots, lotus, crushed peanuts and “special chef sauce”), a veggie version of Vietnam’s answer to the cold cut sub, the bahn mi (featuring tofu, daikon and cucumber) and a veggie Pho. (Props here also go to Twenty Tap for doing its own veggie bahn mi.) Clean, well-lit and welcoming, the simple interior promises a nofrills approach to dining, delivering an early promise

apricots, and seasoned with cinnamon, with a goat cheese sauce and pomegranate reduction. The effect — sweet and savory, fruity and meaty — is delicious.

Delicia has a number of seafood options as well, such as Tapou, a coconut stew with red snapper and roasted vegetables.

The fish tacos have also proven to be extremely popular. “We’ve sold a million of them,” says Harlan-Oprisu.

Among desserts, the Tres Leches cake is wonderful, with a guava compote topping that gives the creamy cake a tangy counterpoint. Order it with the cinnamonflavored Mexican coffee.

Delicia also features a full bar, including a number of wines, beers, and craft cocktails, such as the Pisco Sour, a popular South American cocktail made with pisco (a type of South American brandy), lime juice, bitters, simple syrup, and optional egg white (get it with the egg white).

Though Delicia is only open for dinner and late night, owners plan to develop the space next door in the coming months. Their plan is to create a more casual, cantina-style restaurant that will be open for lunch. that your modest check will go in large part to what arrives on your plate and delights your senses.

3103 Lafayette Rd, 927-7270 El Sol de Tala El Sol’s extensive vegetarian menu offers the diner her choice of fillings for enchiladas, sopes, burritos, empanadas and other staples. And you’re unlikely to find those fillings at any other restaurant in town. They include El Sol’s Papas (mashed potatoes with onions and tomatoes), hongos con epazote (crimini mushrooms with epazote, a wild weed traditional to Mexican cooking), flor de calabaza (squash blossoms with onions and epazote). But we challenge adventurous eaters to try a favorite about the NUVO office, huitlacoche — also known as corn truffle, corn fungus, or least appetizingly, corn smut. It grows like mutant cauliflower on an infected corn cob — and it is earthily delicious, particularly when combined with corn, onion and spices at El Sol. 2444 E. Washington St., 636-1250

GOODBYE, PESSOA, CAELUME UNDISCLOSED LOCATION

SATURDAY, APRIL 20

e In the backyard of an unsuspecting house near Downtown Indianapolis, a garage fitted with some couches, a small stage and PA speakers shaking with loud math rock laid in wait for a night’s worth of music not far from the Record Store Day festivities in Broad Ripple.

This garage would be the final destination for Pessoa and Caelume, longtime friends and two of Indy’s finest emo acts. What was once a free event soon doubled as a rally for a cause when Pessoa’s guitar player Bill Stack had a family member recently diagnosed with cancer. Funds were collected at the door to raise money for her chemo therapy.

The bill for the show included the best friend bands of the two departing headliners. Wounded Knee has members of one of those bands, Caelume and the now-defunct The Greater Good, but sounds like their heavier, angrier brother. Wounded Knee was a good start to what would become a great day of music and emotions.

The Devil Makes Three

STOMP, STOMP, SMASH, SMASH Blues folk trio The Devil Makes Three smashes into Deluxe

BY JO RD A N M A R T IC H MUSIC@NUV O . N ET

C

alifornian trio The Devil Makes Three has a affinity for rambunctious live shows.

All three members hail from the East Coast, spending their formative years in the Northwest and in California, but their music illustrates a deep love for the musical heritage of the South. Upright bassist Lucia Torino, guitarist Pete Bernhard and tenor banjo player Cooper McBean captured lightning in a bottle with second live album, Stomp and Smash, released in October of 2011. Plans for this year include recording a studio album of new material and extensive touring. They’ll perform at Deluxe at Old National Centre on April 25 with Jonny Fritz.

NUVO: Where does that energy come from?

BERNHARD: It has a lot to do with the crowd.

We have a really great crowd that inspires us to put on a great show. But it’s also that we all grew up in the rock and punk rock scene and shows were really fun. The live shows were really fun to be at and we tried to take that energy and put it into our own show, because that’s what we were used to.

NUVO: Why was it important to record a second live album?

BERNHARD: We did it mainly because we had this new material we wanted to try out, and

LIVE

we weren’t quite ready to do a studio record.

And also the guy who did Tom Waits’ live album (2009’s Glitter and Doom Live) wanted to record us at the Mystic Theatre, because he lives around there in Northern California. So it was kind of like everything came together preternaturally. Also, our last live album, we’d heard a lot of bootlegs, you know like stuff that people had recorded of us. It was cool, but the quality was really low. So we wanted to do our own bootleg where it was slightly higher in quality.

NUVO: How important is geographic location in influencing your music?

BERNHARD: That’s just the kind of music that we got interested in. In California there weren’t too many people playing it. In Vermont there weren’t too many people playing it either, although more I’d say. There’s a sort of square dance and old-time music scene in Vermont for sure. I think it would have been great for us to start our band in the Southeast. Now we play in the Southeast and we do really well. We love playing down there. But I don’t know how we got into the

music style that we did, living where we did.

That’s the great thing about folk music, you know. Our parents had a lot to do with sending us in that direction, parents and older brothers and aunts and stuff. Me and Cooper both come from musical families, so they kind of had a lot to do with putting us onto that musical style.

NUVO: What are some connections between the music you play and punk rock or rock and roll?

BERNHARD: I think there’s a lot of connections between country music, and both old folk music and blues, and punk music. There’s a lot of hard luck tales, a lot of stories that people can relate to. They’re just sort of normal stories for normal people. There’s a lot of stories about work, there’s a lot of stories about inequality. Traditional folk music and blues music and punk music actually have a lot in common, even though they don’t sound the same. Also, both can be really really fun to watch live. Our show is more rock driven than it is string-band driven.

I guess the connection between punk music and our music is really in the energy and the feel of it. I see it as all being connected. I mean really it’s all connected, music is all connected. But especially the old rock and roll, American rock and roll, is a much closer connection. Folk music became rock and roll music, which became punk music, which is all music now.

With Pessoa and Caelume now out of the picture, Fly Painted Feathers could be the region’s next noteworthy emo band. Fly Painted Feathers features frantic, melodic fingertapping and mathy time signatures that result in surprisingly catchy songs. Another band making an impression on Indianapolis’ emo music scene is SRVVLST. The Columbus, Ohio group is an impressive screamo act that brings to mind influences from bands like Kidcrash and Hella.

Indie-hoppers Indian City Weather started to rile up the crowd; then, Cincinnati’s Dessa Sons delivered quick pop-punk songs that never overstayed their welcome. Halfway through one of their songs, they pulled out a brief half-cover of a The Greater Good song, much to the surprise of fans of the band and the members of the band that were in attendance.

After an impromptu rap session from the Ghost Town Crew, the first of the two headliners took to the stage to deliver a blazing set of screamo and post-punk.

Caelume’s frontman Tyler Anderson has a fierce stage presence that plays well off the enthusiasm of the crowd.

This final show will likely be remembered as one of their best performances, thanks to an extremely rowdy audience that wasn’t afraid to hang from the rafters –– literally. Though some of Caelume’s members have future plans in music, it’s a shame to see the group call it off.

The end of their set was met with an extended ovation.

Finally, Pessoa took the stage and, despite some technical difficulties, managed to play an emotional set filled with old songs and new, including several songs the band stopped playing live (“Well Oh Well” and “Slower, Still”). The crowd climbed all over the garage, stole microphones offered to them by singer Josh Would and sang every word they knew at their top of their lungs with the band. Emotions hit a fever pitch when Pessoa closed with their most popular song, “The Coming Up Right.” Their set was capped off with tears, hugs and another extended ovation to chants of “PESSOA!” – SCOTT RAYCHEL

n modern fashion, I first heard about the tragic Boston bombings on Facebook.

Hoping to keep up with the situation, I flipped on my car radio as I left home to run my daily errands. Local talk radio fixture WIBC was the only station regularly broadcasting live updates, so I parked my dial there.

The coverage I heard over the next few days deeply saddened me. Before any substantive information had been released, the station’s commentators were connecting the incident to Arab terrorist organizations. In line with a shocking number of national media outlets, the station also repeated false claims that the suspected perpetrators were “dark-skinned” males.

And things only got worse when the suspect’s identities were revealed. With their Chechen heritage hinting at possible links to Muslim extremism, the station’s commentators pushed their hysterics into overdrive.

I certainly didn’t expect WIBC’s conservative voices to remind listeners that the vast majority of Muslims are rational, peace-loving people –– but I was shocked to hear one pundit claim that the Muslim population was out to “destroy Western civilization.” At a time when passions are running high, this rhetoric is dangerously irresponsible and certainly contributes to the type of racially motivated hate crimes that became all too common in the weeks and months following 9/11. In fact,there’s already been a violent backlash as multiple incidents of “revenge” attacks have already begun to surface. Like the Bangladeshi native mistakenly identified as an Arab and beaten down by a group of thugs in New York’s Bronx borough. Or the Syrian-American doctor who was assaulted in Massachusetts while pushing her baby stroller down a sunny suburban street.

I had a flashback to my childhood growing up during the 1980s on the suburban fringe of Indy’s Westside. News of the Islamic Society of North America’s intention to establish a mosque in Plainfield ignited a simmering discontent among elements of Hendricks County’s predominantly white Christian population.

By the time I reached my teens, I knew every pejorative racial epithet for an Arab or Muslim –– but I knew nothing substantive about their culture. The schools and local media had failed to effectively counter the ignorance and fear that consumed a large segment of the community. As an impressionable young person, I may have ended up on the same path as some of my xenophobic Hendricks county neighbors, if not for an unexpected discovery.

I vividly remember spotting the white cassette tape abandoned in the dirt along the highway side. As a young music obsessive trapped in the barren artistic landscape of Hoosier suburbia, I was starving for any outside cultural stimuli –– so I immediately grabbed the tape and continued home.

The titles were written in a mysterious Eastern language that I now recognize as Urdu, the national language of Pakistan. Although I didn’t fully appreciate or understand the music at the time, the tape became an object of fascination for me. Somehow listening to this music engendered within me a sense of connection to Hendricks County’s emerging Islamic community, revealing the humanity of a population that had once seemed so foreign.

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

Years later I would learn that I’d been listening to qawwali, the devotional music of South Asian Sufi Muslims. As an adult I became a great fan of the genre and attempted to learn as much as I could about the 700-year-old qawwali music tradition.

Contrary to everything I’d heard about Islamic values in American media reports, the lyrics of qawwali spoke of peace, compassion, love and tolerance. It encouraged Muslims to question the orthodoxy of institutional Islamic practices. And the music was just as enthralling.

Often featuring spare instrumentation, qawwali is propelled by rhythmic ensemble clapping and ecstatic vocal improvisations. Musicians are encouraged to enter a trance-like state, building in intensity as the performance progresses, reaching breathtaking levels of artistic climax.

As of this writing, one Boston bombing suspect is dead and one is in police custody. While it’s still unclear what role religious motivations played in the attack, it seems inevitable that elements of the U.S. media will continue to exploit this tragedy to demonize Islam and its followers.

In defiance of the hateful rhetoric, I’d like to use this space to quote a work by Sufi poet Bulleh Shah, whose words have been sung by all the qawwali masters, from the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan to Abida Parveen. Composed in the 18th century, the verse speaks to the sacredness of all human life within the Islamic tradition. I can only hope the uplifting spirit of Islamic music and art will enlighten another soul as much as it did mine.

“God can not be found in the mosque, Nor is god in the Kaaba of Mecca Nor is god in the Quran Nor is god found in prayer rituals Demolish the mosque Tear down the temples Destroy anything that can be destroyed But don’t destroy anyone’s heart For that is where god lives” >> Kyle Long creates a custom podcast for each column.

SOUNDCHECK

CHATTER BIG BOI’S LIKE A PIZZA Savannah’s Big Boi needs little introduction to music fans. As half of OutKast, Big Boi’s creative genius helped propel the hip-hop duo to unprecedented commercial and critical acclaim. OutKast has been on an extended hiatus since 2007, allowing Big Boi to focus on his solo work. The MC is currently on tour in support of his sophomore effort Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors. We caught up with Big Boi via phone in advance of his April 30 appearance at the Vogue.

NUVO: You’ve always been a music innovator. Did you ever worry that you were pushing your sound too far for your audience to follow?

Big Boi: No, definitely not. Since we started with Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik it’s always been about trying to chart new territory. I’m always gonna give people something different and if you’re a music lover you’re gonna put your headphones on or turn it up in the car and have a good ass time.

NUVO: Your music has a very universal appeal. Outkast always attracted a diverse audience, from thugs to hippies. What about your music speaks to so many people?

Big Boi: I’m like a meat lover’s pizza at Pizza Hut, I got everything on this motherfucker. It goes back to your first question, you have to give people something unexpected. I don’t like to do the same thing twice, that’s why every song on my albums sound different.

People aren’t used to that, because radio programmers

BEYOND INDY

like a certain kind of music so that’s what you get on the radio all day.

CHICAGO

NUVO: Your latest LP is full of collaborations. I’ve heard your biggest ambition is to work with Kate Bush.

Is that going to happen?

Big Boi: Hopefully one of these days when I make it across the pond, I’ll sit down and have a spot of tea with her. It’s her creativity, the layers of sounds and the lyrics. There’s a meaning behind all her songs and that speaks to me.

NUVO: What’s the state of hip-hop in 2013?

Big Boi: Hip-hop is now global. It speaks to everybody –– all ages and all races. It’s a way of life. It’s a form of raw expression. So we definitely need to keep making that good music so we can keep this thing moving forward.

NUVO: I’ve read your grandmother once told you that you have a responsibility as an artist to bring valuable information to your audience. How did that message influence you?

Big Boi: Being in music you got to educate as well as entertain. If you’ve got a voice that reaches across the globe, why not put something in someone’s life that will cause them to think? That’s the best thing you can do for a person, to get them to use their brain. I’m all about getting people into that thought process. The music is supposed to uplift them, it’s not just a party all the time.

MONDAY ABSURD Flaming Lips Flaming Lips mastermind Wayne Coyne brings his musical crazy train to our city in late April. These psych rockers are as absurd as they come, frequently starting shows by emerging from a massive virtual vagina. Their 1999 release The Soft Bulletin broke the group in mainstream music, but their live shows are still pleasingly cultish. Keep your eyes out for The Love Pit, a group of Flaming Lip devotees who travel to and from shows across the country, seeking communion with their beloved Coyne. (P.S. Do you realize that Lips classic track “Do You Realize?” is the official rock song of Oklahoma, Coyne’s home state?)

NEWS OF THE WEIRD

ELECTRIC CHASTITY BELT To counter the now-well-publicized culture of rape in India, three engineers in Chennai said in March that they are about to send to the market women’s anti-rape lingerie, which will provide

Plus, bikes bad for the environment

both a stun-gun-sized blast of electricity against an aggressor and a messaging system sending GPS location to family members and the police about an attack in progress. After the wearer engages a

RESEARCH

switch, anyone touching the fitted garment will, said one developer, get “the shock of his life” (even though the garment’s skin side would be insulated).

The only marketing holdup, according to a March report in The Indian Express, is finding a washable fabric.

Compelling Explanations • In March, Washington state Rep. Ed Orcutt, apparently upset that bicyclists use the state’s roads without paying the state gasoline tax for highway maintenance, proposed a 5 percent tax on bicycles that cost more than $500, pointing out that bicyclists impose environmental costs as well. Since carbon dioxide is a major greenhouse gas, he wrote one constituent (and reported in the Huffington

Post in March), bike riders’ “increased heart rate and respiration” over car drivers creates additional pollution. (Days later, he apologized for the suggestion that bicyclists actually were worse for the environment than cars.)

Ironies • So, For a While There, It Actually Worked: The maker of the “all-natural herbal extract” Super Power (which promises “powerful erections”) issued a voluntary recall in January after “independent” lab tests revealed that the supplement mistakenly contained a small amount of sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra.

Research is done at Indiana University Infectious Diseases Research at IUPUI. Call 278-2945 and ask for Nikki or e-mail iuidr@iupui.edu. Risks are disclosed before enrollment. Payment is provided.

Fine Points of the Law

oned with in the hip-hop industry.” (His mother’s solution, as told to a New York Daily News reporter: “[G]o get a job. He’s never had job a day in his life.”)

• U.S. companies large and small legally deduct the expenses of doing business from their gross profits before paying income tax, but purveyors of marijuana (in states where possession is legal and where prescription marijuana is dispensed) cannot deduct those expenses and thus wind up paying a much higher federal income tax than other businesses.

As NPR reported in April, “Section 280E” of the tax code (enacted in 1982 to trap illegal drug traffickers into tax violations) has not been changed to reflect state legalizations. The effect, experts told NPR, is that legal dispensaries in essence wind up paying tax on their gross receipts while all other legal businesses are taxed only on their net receipts. (The federal government, of course, continues to regard marijuana as illegal.)

Latest Human Rights • Police in Knoxville, Tenn., confiscated five venomous snakes during a February traffic stop, and Pastor Jamie Coots of the Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus Name (of Middlesboro, Ky.) is demanding them back. Coots said he possesses them openly during his services in Kentucky, but Knoxville police said they are illegal to own in Tennessee. Said Coots, “If I don’t have them, then I’m not obeying the word of God.” • In Bristol, England, Anthony Gerrard, 59, had been arrested for possessing child pornography, but after an inventory, police found only 11 images of his massive 890GB porn stash were of children (which Gerrard said he unknowingly downloaded in his quest for legal, adult pornography), and he went to court in January to demand his collection back

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): How we react to the sound of the wind gives clues to our temperament, said philosopher Theodor W. Adorno. The unhappy person thinks of “the fragility of his house and suffers from shallow sleep and violent dreams.” But for the happy person, the wind sings “the song of protectedness: its furious howling concedes that it has power over him no longer.” I bring this up to illustrate a point about your life. There will be a strong and vivid influence coming your way that is like the wind as described by Adorno. It’s neither bad nor good in itself, but may seem like one or the other depending on the state of mind you choose to cultivate.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In 1921, Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev -- born under the sign of the Bull -- premiered his opera The Love for Three Oranges in the United States. Here’s how The New York Times felt about it: “There are a few, but only a very few, passages that bear recognizable kinship with what has hitherto been considered music.” It’s possible, Taurus, that you will get a similar reaction when you debut your new approach or endeavor. And that may disturb you. But I think it would be a good omen -- a sign that you’re taking a brave risk as you try something innovative and unfamiliar.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I’m passionate about doing whatever I can to make the world a better place.

How boring and sad it would be if I only thought of satisfying my personal needs. But I also remember what Aldous Huxley said: “There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that’s your own self.” Even if you have mad skills at healing and fixing everyone whose life you touch, Gemini, Huxley’s reminder is good for you to honor right now. The place that’s in most pressing need of transmutation -- and where you’re most likely to be successful -- is within you. Now here’s the trick ending: To the degree that you regenerate yourself, you will improve everyone around you. Your inner work will be contagious.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Thomas Jefferson almost pulled off a miracle in 1784. America was a young country. There were only 13 states and a few unorganized territories. As a representative to the Continental Congress, Jefferson proposed an ordinance that would have prohibited slavery in those territories, including what would later become Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama. ©2012 CHUCK SHEPHERD DISTRIBUTED By just one vote, alas, the provision failed to pass. Can you imagine what the United States would have been like

BY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE if slavery had been partly extinguished decades before Send your Weird News to Chuck Shepherd, P.O. Box the Civil War? The moral of the story, Cancerian, is that 18737, Tampa FL 33679 or WeirdNews@earthlink.net at certain pregnant moments, small shifts can have big consequences. The astrological omens suggest your life or go to www.NewsoftheWeird.com. will be proof of that in the coming weeks.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I believe you will crawl or scramble or glide to the top of some mountain in the next four weeks. What mountain do you want it to be? A crumbly molehill? A pile of cheap but useful gravel? A lofty peak where you can see for miles and miles? I urge you to decide soon on which of the possibilities you will choose. Then affirm your intention to call on all your resources, allies, and powers to help you make the ascent. This is a chance for serious expansion, Leo. Unleash your soulful ambitions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Have you ever seen a moonbow? It’s like a rainbow but is created by the reflected light of the moon instead of the sun. For this phenomenon to occur, the sky must be dark. The moon has to be full and setting in the west, near the horizon, and rain must be falling. So it’s a rare event. All the conditions have to be just right. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, it’s more likely than usual that you’ll spot one of these exceptional beauties in the coming days. Your affinity for curious wonders and mysterious marvels of all kinds will be at a peak. I suspect you will have a knack for being exactly where you need to be in order to experience them.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Lonesome George was about a hundred years old when he died last year. He was the last remaining member of a giant tortoise species that had lived on Ecuador’s Pinta Island for thousands of years. But scientists say his kind is not necessarily extinct forever. They believe that by cross-breeding tortoises of other related species, they could recreate a 100-percent-pure version of Lonesome George’s species. I suspect, Libra, that you may be able to pull off a metaphorically comparable resurrection -- especially if you initiate the effort in the coming weeks.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Let’s imagine ourselves near the snowy summit of Washington’s Mount Rainier.

We’re in an unusual kind of cave. Volcanic steam rises from cracks in the rocky floor. Above us is a roof made of ice. As we stand between the heat and the chill, we find the temperature quite cozy. The extremes collaborate to produce a happy medium. Can you accomplish something in your life that’s similar to what’s going on in this cave? Metaphorically, I mean? I think you can.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “We cannot accept the world as it is,” remarked Belgian author Hugo Claus. “Each day we should wake up foaming at the mouth from the injustice of things.” I don’t subscribe to the idea that each day should begin like this. On some mornings we should rise and greet the world singing songs of praise for the great fortune of being alive. But I do think Claus’s approach is precisely right on certain occasions -- like now, for you Sagittarians. The time is ripe to tap into your reservoir of righteous anger. Fight to right the wrongs that disturb you the most.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Your story begins the moment Eros enters you,” says Anne Carson in her book Eros the Bittersweet. “That incursion is the biggest risk of your life. How you handle it is an index of the quality, wisdom and decorum of the things inside of you. As you handle it you come into contact with what is inside of you, in a sudden and startling way. You perceive what you are, what you lack, what you could be.” I want to extend Carson’s dramatic hypothesis. I’d like to propose that eros enters you again and again in the course of your life, and your story resets each time. How will you handle it when it makes its next incursion? Get ready, because here it comes.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “I prefer by far warmth and softness to mere brilliancy and coldness,” wrote Anais Nin in one of her early diaries. “Some people remind me of sharp dazzling diamonds. Valuable but lifeless and loveless. Others, of the simplest field flowers, with hearts full of dew and with all the tints of celestial beauty reflected in their modest petals.” I suspect that even if you normally love cold brilliancy, Aquarius, you will need an abundance of warmth and softness in the coming days. To attract the best possible embodiments of this influence, get clear about your favorite forms of it.

Be picky! Don’t accept sloppy sentimentality.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Ludwig Wittgenstein was a genius. His last book, which influenced many different fields of thought, is regarded as one of the most important philosophy tomes of the 20th century. And yet he was a big fan of foolishness. “If people did not sometimes do silly things,” he observed, “nothing intelligent would ever get done.” Another time he said, “Never stay up on the barren heights of cleverness, but come down into the green valleys of silliness.” Here’s one more of his opinions: “Don’t be afraid of talking nonsense! But you must pay attention to your nonsense.” I hope that’s enough evidence to support my advice, Pisces, which is: Now is a good time for you to get both smarter and wiser. And a good way to do that is to play and play and play some more.

HOMEWORK: Buy or make yourself a present that encourages you to be more generous.
