If you’re ready to quit smoking … If you are a smoker and are part of the adult population who suffer from a mental illness or disorder, you may be interested in a research study which is being conducted to evaluate the use of the drugs varenicline and bupropion as aids to smoking cessation. To help you quit, smoking cessation counseling sessions will be included as part of the study.
WTF?
EDITOR’S NOTE: We received a lot of online comment regarding Elle Robert’s column “Debunking ‘Black-on-Black crime’” (NUVO, May 7-14) which was itself a response to an opinion piece submitted to the Indy Star by Abdul-Hakim Shabazz on April 9th titled “Hope, anger rise in violence-plagued Indy.” Here’s a sample of the feedback we received:
I loved your article. We as a society need to keep asking, “Why?” For example: Why does a child become so hopeless that he takes a life of another person? What can we do to prevent that? When the “whys” are exhausted, we will start to approach the truth.

Yet, we are afraid to ask why because our “false confidences” might be revealed and we will no longer be able to blame “those people”. We will have to accept responsibility for allowing these problems to exist and perpetuate in a society in which we are a part. — posted by “Scharfey” online
I am sad that Elle missed the boat on seeking causes and reasons for the current “surge” of black on black crime. Most people I know don’t see black people as “dangerous”. Violence was also a “white thing” like white mob violence during probation, and white gangs at Five Points in NYC. And white shooters at schools and movie theaters are also sensationalized as well in the press. But today the virus has hit the black community and [Abdul-Hakim] Shabazz has hammered the point that lack of family cohesiveness, absent role models and fathers, some economic conditions and burdens, no discipline, a devaluation of life, a disdain for hard work and a good education by a few black youth and bangers create 99% of the violence in the inner city. Sorry, but your apologist viewpoint that oppression is keeping blacks down is off the mark and naive. You may have made this argument about 120 years ago, but now it is very unproductive. — posted by “Roger That” online

WHAT HAPPENED? Love has no limits Lambda Legal won another battle on behalf of Amy Sandler and Niki Quasney as Judge Richard Young ordered on May 8 an indefinite extension of a preliminary injunction stating that their lesbian marriage (obtained out-ofstate) be recognized in Indiana as the couple faces the end-of-life issues associated with ovarian cancer. “Hallelujah!” said people statewide as they entertained the prospect that the “gay marriage” issue may soon be recognized as an “equal protection” issue under the Fourteenth Amendment. Meanwhile, at the Statehouse, Attorney General Gregory Zoeller’s spokesperson, Bryan Corbin, in an interview with Northwest Indiana’s Post-Tribune took issue with opposing counsel characterizing the state’s decision to appeal the ruling as a “shameful display of cruelty.” Redistricting Remix And speaking of married, gay Hoosiers, on Thursday, At-Large Councilor Zach Adamson announced his intention to contend for the Eastside’s District 17 after micromanaging, machinating GOP lawmakers at the Indiana General Assembly took it upon themselves to kneecap the Democrats by dismantling the city’s three at-large UniGov council positions, added in 1970 by Mayor Dick Lugar and his cohorts to foster metro unity between the parties.

CULTIVATING CONGO CONNECTIONS IN INDY Soccer, agriculture and social justice all areas of common interest

he World Conference of Methodist Women, held April 25-27 in Louisville, Ky., afforded the opportunity for Thérèse Lukenge, a highranking government official from the Democratic Republic of Congo, to travel from the heart of Africa to the Midwest. Here in the Heartland, Lukenge identified women’s rights, soccer, agriculture, responsible harvesting of natural resources (of which the Congo has some of the world’s richest) and social justice all as areas of common interest between her homeland and Indiana. The minister extended her trip north to Indy to support the work of Faustin N’Tala and his nonprofit WAZA Alliance, which offers paid teacher trainings and community optical outreach efforts to provide glasses to students and teachers in need. N’Tala is a Congo native who moved with his family to Indiana where he has since earned his education degree at the University of Indianapolis. He now teaches second grade French and coaches high school soccer at the International School of Indiana. Visiting with Congolese natives is always an eye-opening experience for this Indiana native because the daily experience of most of their countrymen is so vastly different than the average Hoosier’s day. Most of their country, for instance, does not have any electric power. For those that do, the supply is intermittent and unreliable. In addition, a national postal service does not exist, so remote communities are often isolated. And with decades of wars between various tribal factions and international geo-political forces working to undermine an authentic, grassroots democratic election process, the weight of human tragedy evident in different areas around the country continues to burden the Congolese spirit. But the people are not beaten, Lukenge said. And, the connections that WAZA is enabling between Indiana and Congo is helping to support

SPORT FOR COMMUNITY BUILDING, DIPLOMACY The Congolese Madame Minster Thérese Lukenge’s visit to Indianapolis on April 30 put the figurative cherry on top of an epic month of Indiana soccer history. The month began with an ambitious Indy Eleven pre-season, followed by a fabulous players’ ball to celebrate the inaugural campaign, which kicked off April 12. Ever engaged with community relations opportunities, Indy Eleven staffers Guy-Jo Gordon and John Koluder responded to a Brickyard Battalion member’s suggestion that Lukenge’s visit represented a great chance to introduce the Eleven brand to Central African soccer fans. Upon arrival at the International School of Indiana, bearing gifts of team scarves for the madam minister, Gordon and Koluder found Lukenge to be a passionate supporter of the Tout Puissant Mazembe club from Lubumbashi. “Sports, first of all, breaks the barriers,” Lukenge commented in an interview following the exchange of the scarves. In addition to serving as minister of the environment, mining and education departments (among others), the minster, who earned a degree in nuclear chemistry in Belgium, served as minister of sport. “When they are playing, all they see is rolling ball. Then they look for victory, so they take everybody who is on
My, what big farms you have! Indiana’s agriculture — the scale of the farming operations she witnessed as she traversed the landscape — impressed upon Lukenge the untapped potential in her land to reduce the amount of money her people spend on importing food. “Indiana has opened my eyes, now I know we can push for improvements in agriculture,” Lukenge said. “The money we spend to buy food, we can invest the same money to create jobs and improve agricultural techniques.” Lukenge has been on the frontlines of implementing change in her country in several respects. She was, at one point, the government inspector of quality control of the country’s extensive mining operations. She implemented programs to enact controls of radioactive elements which had previously been untracked, leaking into the environment, left exposed in piles where workers slept and contaminating exports of other minerals, which was damaging
their team … to reach the same goal. So when they win, they are happy, so they are not inclined on doing any other kind of violence. Lukenge’s host, Faustin N’Tala, a soccer nut in his own right, suggested that Mazembe travel to the U.S. for a friendly game against the U.S. Indy Eleven President Peter Wilt later commented that he does not foresee a match in the immediate future. “I believe it would be overly optimistic to think there would be any friendly games between the clubs in the near future,” he emailed Tuesday. “I would hate to set any false expectations for your readers as this is a lower priority for us with huge challenges that would sap our limited human and economic resources.” Some restraint may be well advised. On May 12, the international Herald newspaper carried the following headline: “Deadly stampede at title-deciding
to Congo’s international reputation, Lukenge explained. Global energy issues fueled Lukenge’s initial interest in higher education. She was born in the village where, she said, the uranium was mined for the bombs the U.S. dropped on the Japanese to end World War II. “I was interested to learn the science, so I studied nuclear chemistry,” she said.
Improved outlook The primary reason she traveled to the States was to feed off the Methodists’ “Be the Change” approach to social justice, particularly when it comes to women’s issues. Lukenge said she is interested in “every opportunity to increase awareness and push the leadership of women, the creativity of women. …Sometimes she can be in a very bad house, but if she can be in her own house, if given the opportunity, if she has resources around her, others can come teach women to be their own habitat with the resources
football match in DR Congo sees at least 15 killed and dozens injured after police fire tear gas.” The incident unfolded in Kinshasa where the scene at a stadium packed well beyond its 30,000-personcapacity devolved into chaos. Tragedy is not new to Lukenge. It just renews her resolve for future improvements. “I’d ask the government of the United States to accompany us … in the establishment of democracy, in the transparency of elections,” Lukenge said during her visit. “Those are fundamental elements for a long-lasting peace. We have American companies. We’d like to have more investment, but first thing is: There has to be peace. We have a lot of things we can lean from the American people, and you have a lot of things you can learn from us.” Before bidding adieu to her scarfcarrying denizens of soccer democracy, Lukenge commented (with a tone that was mostly — but not all — humorous) that Indy Eleven’s canine mascot, Zeke, would be no match for her Mazembe Crocodile. In short: the Democratic Republic of Congo is ready to play whenever Indy Eleven is ready for the adventure. n — REBECCA TOWNSEND
they have around them. That can help improve health. We are open to all these agencies.” Lukenge said she looks forward to building her country’s relationship with Indiana. “I want the people of Indiana to know what WAZA does is raising hope in my country. There are kids who never imagined they’d have a chance to go to school. Now with WAZA’s assistance, it is a reality. “We are not saying Indiana will help us resolve all of our problems, but we are happy Indiana is resolving a bit of our problems.” For all its challenges, she added, the Congo should be seen for its tremendous cultural and physical assets as well. “We don’t want the Congo to be seen as black hole,” she said. “It’s a country of 70 million people. It’s a country that’s as big as one fourth of the United States. To take a position that is diametrically in opposition would be similar to ignoring one fourth of the population of the United States.” n

Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra announces music director candidates
T
BY RI TA K O H N RKOHN@NUVO.NET
he Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra, which will celebrate its 30th anniversary in November, is at the threshold of exciting transitions, says executive director Elaine Eckhart. Last week, the orchestra announced three finalists to succeed music director Kirk Trevor, who will retire at the close of the 2014-15 season after 27 years in the role. But that’s just the most recent move. Change started during the 2012-13 season with the retirement of concertmaster Larry Shapiro, who was replaced by Emily Glover. Then last year, the ICO named Butler’s then-brand new Howard L. Schrott Center for the Arts as its home concert location. The ICO will wind up its season there Saturday with a program featuring ICO music director violinist Benjamin Kirk Trevor Beilman, bronze medalist at the 2010 International Violin Competition of Indianapolis. “We have a really stable organization,” Eckhart says. “Twelve of our current roster of 36 musicians are part of the original group. We have a wonderful track record of playing together, yet change is opening up lots of possibilities.” Eckhart, an ICO volunteer before she became executive director, says Trevor “took a very young organization and grew it.” The ICO first performed in 1984 as Musicians of the Cloister at Trinity Episcopal Church, and Trevor was appointed music director in 1988, a year after the group assumed its current name. “He had a vision to connect the ICO with audiences in intimate ways. I came away from every concert connected and having discovered something new.” Each candidate to replace Trevor will conduct a concert during the 2014-15 season. They are Kelly Corcoran, chorus director of the Nashville Symphony (Tenn.); Matthew Kraemer, associate conductor of the Buffalo Philharmonic

Trevor’s last concert will be in May 2015, and the new music director will assume leadership with the 2015-16 season. Early on, with no home base, the ICO performed in a variety of venues, including the Indianapolis Museum of Art for silent films and live music, the Eiteljorg for concerts in a conversational style and Indiana Landmarks Center for singalong programs. The ICO’s focus on artistic programming with high caliber soloists also involves relationships with the American Pianists Association and the International
Violin Competition of Indianapolis. With educational programs as a dual mission, the ICO takes the FUNtastic Classics series to elementary schools to introduce students to the instrument groups of the orchestra and the concept of communicating ideas through music and storytelling. “It’s about discovering and sparking imagination,” adds Eckhart. On the high school level, the ICO Youth Wind Ensemble directed by Brent Hornaday and the ICO Youth Jazz Ensemble directed by Rob Dixon, require auditions to participate, with the goal being presentation of public concerts. Being named the Schrott Center’s professional orchestra-in-residence is an artistic homecoming (the ICO’s administrative offices are at Butler) and “a boon for programming because acoustically and size-wise it is a perfect venue for the ICO,” Eckhart says. This artistic partnership led to naming James Aikman as composer-in-residence and commissioning the world premiere of Aikman’s Triptych: Musical Momentum as part of the 2014 Butler ArtsFest. According to Eckhart, having a relationship with a composer keeps the ICO “on the forefront of adding to our repertoire” and is “an important part of our ongoing mission to advance and promote music composed for the small orchestra through professional concert performances.” n

he Ain’t Too Late Show. It’s the kind of wordplay you’d expect from a guy who knocked out Haiku News on a weekly basis for years. But the title of Jim Poyser’s live, climate change game show — which does, indeed, take place early in the evening, around 6:30 p.m., every third Tuesday at IndyFringe Theatre — is more than clever turn of phrase. You see, just about everything that Poyser does these days is concerned with the stewardship of the planet. He left his long-time post as NUVO’s managing editor to become executive director of environmental non-profit Earth Charter Indiana, which recently gave birth to an offshoot, Youth Power Indiana, devoted to “youth-driven climate stewardship and civic leadership” (quoting from the website at youthpowerindiana.org). The idea behind the new organization is to give young people — ages on the board of advisors range from 12 to 19 — a chance to use their “persuasive power, scientific education and intelligence” to try to jump start, short circuit or otherwise transform a dialogue about climate change that, in the hands of their supposedly wiser elders, has totally stalled. And with Poyser so involved in mobilizing young people in the fight against complacency, their energy has started to inform everything he does, including a game show staged before an audience whose typical member has reached drinking age (and there is an open cash bar at shows). “There’s a sizeable population of people who think it’s too late to do anything about our ecological problems,” he says. “They get it, but they feel that because we can’t control what India or China do, we can’t control the future. My messages have increasingly become it ain’t too late, we can’t give up, because of the kids.” Poyser got the idea for the game show last year when he was doing his IndyFringe Festival monologue, Saving the World through Bumper Stickers, which was in turn partly inspired by his work presenting a climate change slideshow to local groups as an emissary of the Al Gore-founded Climate Reality Project (a version of the one presented by Gore in An Inconvenient Truth). The monologue mixed Climate Reality-style hard truths with ideas for bumper stickers that riff on them. There

was some audience participation, but it was only Poyser on stage, and someone (Butler professor William Fisher, actually) suggested halfway through the show’s Fringe run that he include quiz questions for the audience when he next staged the show. Poyser went one better and added the questions to his show the very next time he did it. IndyFringe’s Pauline Moffat had already told Poyser she’d give him the IndyFringe Theatre stage for one night a month, and he decided that the game show was a concept that just might fly in that slot. He invited Fisher to direct, plus a bunch of familiar on-stage talent. Travis DiNicola came on as the show’s
announcer, or the “Carl Kasell of the production” as Poyser puts it, referring to the august, voicemail message-supplying voice of the public radio quiz show Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me. Then Karen Irwin, whom Poyser calls “particularly brilliant when it comes to improv and interacting with an audience,” was cast as a sort of Greek chorus, supplying one-liners to Poyser’s facts and figures. And Irwin brought along her friend Sean Baker, who mastered the kind of cheesy sound effects every game show needs as the silent partner in the Leisure Kings. Add in the show’s technical advisor and set builder, T.J. Zmina (NUVO’s IT dude, by the way), and you have the key personnel. While Poyser says the show has changed quite a bit since it launched in October, such that “a year from now it might look very different,” most Ain’t Too Late Shows have started with a monologue by Poyser, followed by at
least two rounds’ worth of quiz questions testing audience members’ knowledge of climate change. Contestants get to smack buttons when they know the answer, fantastic prizes are awarded, and with Baker playing in and out the contestants to goofily upbeat interstitial music, it certainly feels like a handmade, ironic but not snarky attempt to harness some of the magic of the TV game show. Which is all part of the not quite master plan for Poyser. “As one who entertains about our ecological challenges,” he says, “I’ve found that shame doesn’t work, and fear doesn’t work, when trying to get people to open-minded about science and discoveries about our human impact, and when trying to create bridges between people with disparate views and excitement around projects that fulfill all our desires.” To that end, he says these days he’s more “apt to put images of kids into the game show to create warm, fuzzy feelings in the audience and that sense of hope and excitement I feel every day, learning from kids about all the stuff they want to do: how they want to eat more locally sourced food; to stop using so much plastic and styrofoam; to stop throwing food away, to have a smaller carbon footprint and reduce energy use.” Since launching the show at IndyFringe Theatre, Poyser has added it to his peaceful arsenal as an “ecotainer” (his coinage for an environmental activist who entertains). Now when he’s asked to give a lecture at places as disparate as a convention for GIS experts or a middle school, he more often than not offers to do his game show, a far less painful mode than a lecture of getting across the same information. And press outside of Indianapolis has taken notice: A reporter from public radio show The World will attend the May edition at IndyFringe. Poyser says he’s turned a long-nurtured skill that’s core to his personality — his penchant for “taking anxiety and turning it into humor” — and put it to work for the greater good. Not that he didn’t try a slightly different tack, aiming at one point to be “hilarious and acerbic like Lewis Black.” A little feedback from IndyFringe’s Pat McCarney turned him in a different direction; Poyser remembers McCarney saying to him that “you’re a nice, friendly guy, and people will respond to that more than something that you’re not.” n

With their child protagonists, menageries of animal characters — and Overman’s sweet sense of humor — they could work was as illustrations for children’s books unwritten. But these paintings aren’t just for kids, and elements of her personal life sometimes seep in, giving a deeper, darker resonance to her acrylic on canvas paintings.

isn’t truly grassroots or is feigning its community-mindedness, I figured it might be salutary and instructive to take a step back and look at the business models of similar organizations in the city. I reached out to five organizations, including RAW, to ask about more or less behind-the-scenes facts like exhibitor fees and operating costs. Because RAW invites a wide variety of artists and professionals to its parties, ranging from visual artists to hair and makeup stylists to performance artists, I tried to pick a cross-section of art fairs and parties that serve similar constituencies. Oranje was included as a multidisciplinary art party whose laidback, late-night, fusion-oriented approach resembles RAW. The Broad Ripple Art Fair appears as a representative of a traditional art fair (and also because I wanted to remind readers that it’s taking place this weekend). INDIEana Handicraft Exchange made its way here because it’s an unconventional art fair, a space for crafters and artisans whose work might not make it past the Broad Ripple Art Fair jury. And because RAW has emphasized fashion design in the past, I included Midwest Fashion Week as an established local showcase for designers, models and other figures connected with the fashion scene. The results are adjacent, but I’d like to pick out a few key findings. A) IT’S NOT UNUSUAL TO CHARGE EXHIBITOR FEES TO ARTISTS AND OTHER PROFESSIONALS... With the caveat that there are plenty of opportunities for local artists to submit work to group shows or vie for a solo show at number of local galleries without cost, we can say the obvious: If you want a booth in a fair or party-type situation, such that you can showcase your work, and only your work, and try to make a concentrated impact, you’re probably going to have to pay for it. Of course, artists are welcome to consider whether or not the cost is worth it, given attendance numbers, the makeup of the crowd and other intangibles, but the five organizations considered all charge for square footage at events. Note that RAW does offer artists the “Girl Scout cookie drive” model mentioned by the Isthmus, where exhibitor fees are reduced according to the number of tickets the artist sells to the event. B) ...THOUGH IT IS UNUSUAL TO CHARGE MUSICIANS OR OTHER PERFORMERS TO PLAY. Here’s where RAW departs from the norm, and CityBeat’s “pay-for-play” moniker becomes more germane: While

up-and-coming bands can expect to be paid very little or absolutely nothing as an opener for a crowded show, they’re far less likely to run into situation where they have to pay to get to that stage in the first place. Both Oranje and Broad Ripple Art Fair host several stages of music, and while both organizations certainly charge their artist exhibitors, they either pay their performers or ask them to volunteer their time. C) RAW IS THE SOLE NON-LOCAL ORGANIZATION ON THE LIST. RAW was incorporated in Los Angeles, and while it had an Indianapolisbased representative until last year, when RAW Indianapolis founder Amy Ward moved to Chicago, the current showcase director Dayna Melton (who directs showcases in both Indianapolis and Columbus, Ohio) is based in L.A. Asked how she stays engaged with the city from afar, Melton answered: “We are constantly reading articles, keeping tabs on local shows and press. We also are in town twice per show so I have become friends with our RAW artists and stay connected within their circles.” Melton added that Oranje’s Ryan Hickey is RAW’s resident DJ and Angel Burlesque’s Lola LaVacious has become “our official RAW Indianapolis host.” D) TRANSPARENCY IS WANTING WHEN IT COMES TO THE BOTTOM LINE AND OTHER MONEY QUESTIONS.

Only Broad Ripple Art Fair fully answered my questions about operating costs and revenue — and as a non-profit, it’s required to report those numbers by law. None of the for-profit businesses on the list are obligated to tell me or anyone else anything about their bottom line. But I’d argue it’s more difficult to emotionally invest in an organization — particularly ones that have volunteer opportunities and street teams and other “grassroots,” community-powered elements — without at least a sense of what they’re doing with their money; whether or not exhibitor fees are just high enough to cover costs, if corporate sponsorships are a necessary evil to keep the thing running or pay salaries, if they’re doing an aboveboard, legitimate job of celebrating and advocating on behalf of our creative class.

(Seriously, it’s like you can smell the freaking hairspray when you see the guy on TV.) The Colts’ first pick in the 2014 cattle call brought in OT Jack Mewhort from Buckeye U., followed by wideout Donte Montcrief from Mississippi State, Ball State DE Jonathan Newsome, Andrew Jackson (no, not the guy on the twenty), an LB out of Western Kentucky and Ulrick John, an OT from Georgia State. Some notable moments in the draft: Michael Sam, the first openly gay player looking for an NFL gig, was picked up late in the proceedings by Saint Louis and former Colts GM Bill Polian suggested that the Browns should rest Johnny Manziel for the playoffs.

he inaugural Grand Prix of Indianapolis started with a bang; two, in fact, when a stalled car at the standing start was struck by two other entrants. Pole-sitter Sebastian Saavedra sat helpless as his malfunctioning ride was hit by vehicles driven by Mikhail Aleshin and Carlos Munoz, sending debris flying across the track and clipping the Grand Prix’s honorary starter, Mayor Greg Ballard. (Ballard’s injuries weren’t serious.) A later wreck knocked out Graham Rahal, who complained on camera to ESPN about the notion of a “restart zone,” an area where the entire field of drivers can hit the gas as opposed to having the pack leader set the pace of acceleration. Rahal wasn’t alone — other driv-

ers griped about the way the zone causes a bunching of cars that makes for riskier transitions from yellow to green. One man who had nary a beef on Saturday was Simon Pagenaud. The French driver, running the No. 77 IndyCar for Sam Schmidt’s Schmidt-Peterson Motorsports team, used a finish-witha-sip-of-fuel strategy to take the win. French drivers haven’t had much success at Indy since the Speedway’s inaugural seasons, and Pagenaud seems like he intends to make the most out his of heritage. Pagenaud’s partnered with City Market’s Three Days in Paris food stall to bring crepes to the gents and ladies working in the garages, and he’s developed an impression of the flamboyant French NASCAR-driving Sacha Baron Cohen character in the Will Ferrell vehicle Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.
NUVO spoke with Simon Pagenaud the day after his victory at Indy. NUVO: How did you celebrate? There was a rumor you guys planned to party at Fogo de Chao or something? SIMON PAGENAUD: Not yet, but we will. That’s a tradition — that comes from Sam Schmidt. We’re going to have wait and see if we have a rain day here and go as a team. Last night we had a quick party, celebrated, took pictures with the big trophy and that was pretty cool. NUVO: That’s got to be a heck of a feeling, especially winning at Indianapolis. PAGENAUD: It’s obviously my dream to win the 500, but being the first to win the Grand Prix is very special. It’s such an event — what a great way to start the

month of May. It’s really good for the guys, a good dynamic for the team, and I’m very, very proud. NUVO: Those last couple of laps must have been nerve-wracking. You were extremely low on fuel — it looked like you were running on fumes when you crossed the yard of bricks. PAGENAUD: (Laughs) Yes! We were very low on fuel, but everyone with a similar strategy was in the same boat. It was a matter of trying to go as fast as possible with the fuel we had and I just focused on that. My hat is off to Honda. What an incredible engine — being able to go that fast and save that much fuel. NUVO: With that many turns on a road course, the fuel can slosh around in the tank — were you noticing a diminishment in power on the corners? PAGENAUD: No, no, I didn’t. It wasn’t quite that close for us. A lot of cars actually ran out of fuel on the end lap. We ran out of fuel coming back to pit lane, so — I guess the car just wanted to go right to victory lane. NUVO: I know several drivers were upset with the re-start zone. What were your thoughts? PAGENAUD: We can always complain about everything. At the end of the day, it was good racing. It was very packed up on re-starts and those cars have a lot of draft, so at the end of the straight, the nature of the track made it so we were three or four wide sometimes. But it’s racing. There are ways to be smart about dealing with traffic. For us it was a good day. I have really nothing to complain about or bad to say — I think it was good racing, it was good for the show. I think it was a very entertaining race for the fans, and what a great way to start the Grand Prix. NUVO: The initial start, the standing start was obviously troublesome.
Pagenaud took checkered with just a splash of fuel remaining.
PAGENAUD: Yes, it was. It’s a new thing in IndyCar, and it requires a lot of practice. Right now I think some teams understand better how to use the clutch — it’s a hand clutch, it’s not a foot clutch — it’s a little different than what humans are used to! Also, there’s a lot of electronics in those cars now — there’s a lot of things we need to do, a very lengthy procedure that makes it difficult to meet [all the requirements] before the light goes off. NUVO: How long did it take you to develop your impression of “Jean Girard” from Talladega Nights? PAGENAUD: That one’s pretty easy. I don’t have to force it too much.

PAGENAUD: For sure, it’s Will Power. He’s my main rival. We’ve had some good races already, the Grand Prix included. I think this will be a common thing over the next few years.

I love sushi, so Kazan at 86th St. and Township Line is a favorite. I love restaurants — there’s actually a lot of nice places near where I live on 86th Street.

PAGENAUD: Yeah, it’s happening a lot. If we were in France, people would actually get after me and kind of not respect my private life, but the funny thing here in Indy is people respect me very much. When they have a little bit of an opportunity, maybe at a dinner table, they just come by and say, “Hey, Simon, congrats,” and that’s it — then they go. They really respect my personal life. NUVO: You’re also the proud owner of a 65-pound trophy for the initial Grand Prix. Where’s that thing going to live? PAGENAUD: I carried it only once, on the podium. That thing is heavy, but it’s beautiful. Right now it’s in my motor home; it’ll be on a table there, proudly, for the month of May. NUVO: The shift from road to oval’s interesting at this course. Obviously, every turn is different on a road course, but I think a lot of casual fans don’t understand how different Indy’s four turns are when you’re running the 500. PAGENAUD: Vastly different. You’re travelling at 230 mph, and running near another car is like two fighter jets engaging. It requires a lot of experience, a lot of understanding. It’s the only oval that seems like a road course, where you have to be really, really precise with your turning points. You feel the car sliding … it’s definitely a thrill, quite an adrenaline rush. NUVO: It’s unusual for a Frenchman to win a race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. I’d imagine you’ve gotten some response from your home country. PAGENAUD: It’s been crazy. I haven’t had time to answer all my messages yet. I had 87 text messages on the phone last night, and 112 emails, and it keeps coming. I really hope it brings the French media to the Indy 500. IndyCar is not shown in France, but I know the public would like to see it more. Maybe this will be the breaking point. n NUVO // 100% RECYCLED PAPER // 05.14.14 - 05.21.14 // SPORTS 23
OPENING Belle Based on a true story (but with plenty of departures; the historical record doesn’t include much dialogue), Belle tells of the mixed-race daughter of a British admiral who’s allowed to live under the roof of her aristocratic white family but marginalized in all kinds of ways, from being forced to eat at a table separate from her family to encountering considerable resistance when courting a white lawyer. Critics characterize it as a lavish historical piece, comparing its script to a Jane Austen novel and its style to a Merchant-Ivory production.

The acting is impeccable. The unseen supporting cast brings the ace screenplay is a doozy, despite a couple screenplay to life. Hardy, so volatile in of quibbles that I’ll address in a bit. The Dark Knight Rises and Warrior, is
more restrained here. Locke is a passionate man, certainly, and he has a notable righteous streak, but he prides himself in being a gentleman. That is especially important to him on this night. He made a huge mistake months ago, and as a result, a coworker (Olivia Colman) is about to bear his child. Despite the risk to his marriage and job, the trip to London is essential if he is to have a chance at being the man he believes he should be. Which brings me to the quibbles. To make Locke’s motivations crystal clear, Knight includes scenes of the character railing at his late father. Hardy makes the moments credible, but I wish Knight had given us the information in a less theatrical fashion, perhaps during one of the phone calls between Locke and his wife. My other complaint comes late in the film, when Locke and one of his boys discuss the soccer match. Everything they say parallels Locke’s situation and the conversation feels obvious and excessive. Steven Knight is too effective a writer to require a highlighter scene. Enough of that. Locke is a great looking and sounding tale of a man’s (misguided?) quest to do the right thing. In addition to the moral issues and the character study, it features fun facts about concrete. You should see this. n

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 t Middle-of-the-pack blockbuster fare, though it has its moments. Good cast, tired story. Director Marc Webb, the man behind the indie favorite (500) Days of Summer, opts to focus more on interpersonal relationships than big action scenes. That would be fine, but the relationships have been covered so thoroughly that it’s hard to wring more emotion from them. Thank goodness Andrew Garfield (as Spidey) and Emma Stone (Gwen Stacy) have such a nice chemistry.
Neighbors t A married couple (Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne) with a baby get new neighbors – an Animal House fraternity led by two smooth talkers (Zac Efron and Dave Franco). The couple tries to be cool, smoking weed with the boys to show they’re hip. But relations turn south quickly, leading to warfare between the houses. When the rude, crude R-rated comedy is funny, it’s very funny. The segments in-between are interesting, but the film wasn’t as balls-to-the-wall crazy as I’d hoped it would be. I suspect, though, that this is one of those comedies that will seem funnier with repeated viewings. Rogen, Byrne, Efron and Franco are excellent, by the way.

CONTINUING
Divergent r Did you see The Hunger Games? Well here it is again, more or less. This time the post-apocalyptic society has divided the population into groups based on dominant character traits. Young adults take tests that tell them what group would best suit them, but they decide for themselves which group to join. The government fears “divergents” — individuals that can function in any group. Young Tris (Shailene Woodley) is such a person. In boot camp she encounters troubles — and intrigue — while getting acquainted with her tough-as-nails but dreamy instructor (Theo James). Kate Winslet plays the baddie. Lots of action, lots of angst. It’s fine for what it is. PG-13, In wide release Heaven is for Real y Based on the non-fiction book of the same name. A small-town couple (Greg Kinnear and Kelly Reilly) are stunned when their five-year-old son Colton (Connor Corum) talks about his trip to Heaven during a sort of near-death experience and calmly shares information about things that happened before he was born. The movie is even gentler than the hit book (for instance, movie-version Colton doesn’t mention that only believers of Jesus go to Heaven). As a film, Heaven is for Real is earnest but timid. But it clearly meant a great deal to the rapt audience at the screening I attended. PG, In wide release

Hipster vampires find love in Only Lovers Left Alive.
TEXT CRACKERS TO 82257 FOR SPECIAL VIP DEALS!
Only Lovers Left Alive e Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton are hipster vampires in Jim Jarmusch’s new one, and they’ve been a couple long enough that one of their friends is Christopher Marlowe (John Hurt). The story is thinner than the vampires, but the music is good, the atmosphere is rich in decadence and the acting is flawless. I suspect some viewers will find the goings-on pretentious, boring and irksome. But I found it gloomy, romantic, weirdly funny at times and sweet in its own twisted way.

Years later, he marries Patti (Nicole Kidman), but doesn’t share his nightmarish history. Eventually the truth comes out and the couple heads for Japan to confront the interpreter that assisted the torturers in questioning prisoners. The story is compelling, but its presentation is surprisingly stiff and even dull. Lomax’s story, especially the last part, deserves to be told better than this.

estaurateurs Craig Baker and Derek Means of The Local Eatery & Pub in Westfield haven’t been getting much sleep lately. With their new restaurant, Plow & Anchor, set to open at 43 E. Ninth Street, their Bent Rail Brewery still in the works — not to mention their participation in last week’s Rev fundraiser at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway — they’ve been busy, to say the least. And it doesn’t stop when a shift ends. “I get off work, and I research restaurants till 3 in the morning,” Baker said recently. Plow & Anchor is located in the Ambassador building at Ninth and Pennsylvania streets just north of the Central Library. The sleek space will be a welcome dining addition to that part of downtown. Executive chef John Adams, formerly of Bluebeard, guarantees an “awesome” menu. The restaurant will include a raw bar with four to six different kinds of oysters, an open prep area and a superhot plancha grill station. “Our menu will change daily and will be small enough that we can ensure that every dish will be awesome,” Adams said. “Every dish will have to pass the ‘is this really awesome?’ test before it goes on the menu.” That menu will feature seafood and

This is Portland,” he said, pointing to a dish on the menu. “This is New York.” But what to try? “I can say that of the ones we’ve been through and tested, the bay scallop crudo and the caviar dip will be two outstanding dishes coming from our raw bar menu,” Baker said. “Our kitchen also will feature a plancha grill, which is basically an insanely hot Spanish flat-top grill. So any items that will come from that station, such as razor clams, a plancha burger and charred squid, will taste fantastic. We also have a bitchin’ steak ‘n eggs on the opening menu. Like I said, all of it will change but everything will always be awesome.” And don’t forget the champagne. Look for plenty of bubbles on the wine list, Baker said. You’ll even spot a chalkboard noting that “Every meal starts with bubbles,” Baker said. “We need to celebrate more.” Baker and Means are also working on Bent Rail, the restaurant and brewery that’s to open in the former Monon Fitness space at 5301 Winthrop Ave. It has taken time to get the ambitious concept going, partly due to the sheer size of the space.
“It’s just big, and it needs a lot of work,” Baker said. “We should open in July. That’s the goal.” That is, the restaurant should open in July. “We’ll open in phases. You’ll actually watch the brewery being built,” said Baker. “We should be brewing our own beer by September.”
Nicey Treat opens in Broad Ripple You’ve seen Nicey Treat’s Jeff Patrick out and about for the past couple seasons with his bicycle cart selling his all-natural frozen treats at markets and events. Now you can get his unique frozen pops at his shop in Broad Ripple, recently opened at 916 Westfield Blvd. The new shop includes a production kitchen in the back that allows Patrick the space to create the treats he’s become known for. “Pink lemonade is my best seller,” he told me, and it’s especially popular with kids. Me, I like the avocado, pineapple basil and banana cream flavors. Pops are $3, and it’s an extra buck to get them dipped in dark or milk chocolate. I can’t help but think that I’d like to try an avocado pop dipped in dark chocolate. n

HELLO TO THE HI-FI There’s always plenty of shifting happening inside the guts of the Murphy Arts Center, but this week’s move is a big one. Pending inspections (which fall after press time), the MOKB Presents/DO317 team will close the doors to the DO317 Lounge on the second floor and open the doors to their new venue, The Hi-Fi. “We like the neighborhood and we like the people around us,” Josh Baker, co-owner and operator of MOKB Presents and DO317, says. “Craig [Von Deylen] and Larry [Jones] that run the Murphy have been really supportive of us, so when the opportunity came up to get that space, we jumped on it.” That space he’s talking about was previously occupied by vintage shop IndySwank; it’s a Virginia Street-facing storefront snuggled between iMOCA and Pure Eatery that Baker describes as “bigger, but not by much” than the Lounge. Baker owns the Hi-Fi along with business partner Craig “Dodge” Lile; Spencer Hooks is the Hi-Fi’s general manager and RJ Wall has been named bar manager. “It’s still the same team,” Baker says, “just moving downstairs.” Local designer Brian Presnell built and designed the space. “A lot of folks go with these super highend designers but we trust our vision to Brian who makes magic happen on a small budget,” Baker says. “From an art standpoint he’s one of the most overlooked artists in the local scene.” For right now, they’ll continue to serve beer and wine, but they’re persuing a license that will allow them to serve hard liquor as well, with a goal to secure that by mid-June. The Hi-Fi, like the Lounge, will only be open only to those 21 and older. Baker acknowledged that, although he is interested in the idea of more all-ages spaces in Indianapolis, it’s just not possible for The Hi-Fi. Baker and Lile will use The Hi-Fi as a space to grow bands new to Indianapolis, and give locals a space to play. “For us, it’s like a place where we can bring all of our newer bands who can’t do the business at a bigger club,” Baker says. “It’s a good chance to get them in the market early, and then we grow them into a larger room.” — KATHERINE COPLEN US Royalty with Busy Living, Friday, May 16, The Hi-Fi, 1043 Virginia Ave. Suite 4, 8 p.m., $10, 21+

New producer elevates roots group’s fourth album

B Y A L A N S CU L L EY MU S I C @ N U V O . N E T
he Devil Makes Three has been together now for a decade, but guitarist and singer Pete Bernhard says he feels the group is only now starting to hit its stride. “We’ve all got an album we’re really proud of now, “ Bernhard said in a recent phone interview, referencing I’m A Stranger Here, the album the trio released last fall. “Also, I think we’re all just playing together on a much higher level than we ever have before and everybody is contributing more than they ever have.” Ironically, what helped the trio of Bernhard, banjo player and multi-instrumentalist Cooper McBean and bassist Lucia Turino to step up their game — particularly with songwriting and recording — was a key collaborator. Until now, The Devil Makes Three has been pretty much a DIY endeavor, with three previous studio albums completely self-produced and home recorded. For I’m A Stranger Here, the band brought on Buddy Miller to produce the album. “It was a big deal for us, being such a DIY band to finally have a producer we were going to work with,” Bernhard said. Bernhard, Cooper and Turino had done well while keeping their albums in house. Since forming in Santa Cruz, Calif. in 2002, they developed their own brand of rollicking, rootsy acoustic music over the course of three studio albums and a pair of live releases.

Along the way, the group slowly built a following that is now big enough to headline theaters and large clubs. Bernhard said he, Cooper and Turino, though, decided it would take working with an outside producer to take another step up in the studio. “We already know what we can do ourselves,” Bernhard said. “So it’s kind of like there’s not much mystery there. We did all we could do and we had kind of like reached our limitations there and we wanted to try something new.” Enter Miller, an acclaimed artist in his own right, who has also been building an impressive resume of production projects. “He was really instrumental in helping us arrange, putting in different instrumentation; he didn’t really edit lyrically, but he edited a lot musically. Also, he plays on the record. He had a lot of the guys who he’s played with for years sit in on the record, which was really cool.” In particular, Miller had a big impact as a song editor and sounding board for the tracks chosen. Prior to setting up shop at Easy Eye Sound Studio, the Nashville facility owned by Dan Auerbach of the
Black Keys, the group brought in completed demos for 20 songs — far more material than Bernhard had ever written for a Devil Makes Three album. Miller also made an impact in helping The Devil Makes Three achieve one of its key goals for I’m A Stranger Here — to get the energy and feel of the group’s live shows to translate to a studio album. “We did use the studio to some degree, but it was live,” Berhard said. “We did some re-amping of guitars and stuff like that, but for the most part, it was us playing in that room. That’s mostly what you hear.” And the result? The songs are sharper and catchier than ever. I’m A Stranger Here has frisky bar room bluegrassflavored romps (“Dead Body Moving” and “Worse Or Better”) and rustic ballads (“A Moment’s Rest”) that have long been staples of the group’s music. “Hallelu” takes things in a twangier old-time country direction, with great results. On “Forty Days,” the group brings some New Orleans ragtime with the help of the Preservation Hall Horns. Then there’s “Hand Back Down,” the standout among an excellent collection of songs, where the group builds a spooky, but ultra-catchy melody around the grooving, steady thump of a rhythm. They’re proud of these songs, and their new tour setlist shows it. “We’re playing something off of every record,” Bernhard said. “But mostly I’d say it’s heavily toward our new record. We’re all just really excited about that stuff, so we’re playing it a lot.” n

BUCKWHEAT AT THE KITCHEN
tanley Dural Jr. just wanted to play the organ. But his dad, who played accordion morning, noon and night, said “If you’re not gonna learn the accordion, you’re not gonna play anything.” And now 30 years later, he’s a master of the instrument. He’s called Buckwheat Zydeco now, of course, and he’s become the face of the fast-paced Louisiana Creole party music that’s called zydeco too. And he’s exported the genre through his many collaborations with high-profile rockers and writers like Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Robert Plant, Yo La Tengo, Paul Simon and others. Most recently, he appeared in a duet with Jimmy Fallon and The Roots on the farewell edition of Fallon’s Late Night on NBC. He’ll stop by the Jazz Kitchen on June 27. NUVO: I’ve read that you grew up in Louisiana with 12 siblings. What role did music have in your family’s life? STANLEY DURAL, JR.: We grew up with music because my dad played the accordion for family entertainment. He played the accordion everyday, in the morning before work, when he came home for lunch and after supper. My father grew up in a family with nine brothers and seven sisters and every weekend my uncles would come and they
“Four hours later ... people were still dancing.”
A CULTURAL MANIFESTO
WITH KYLE LONG KLONG@NUVO.NET Kyle Long’s music, which features off-the-radar rhythms from around the world, has brought an international flavor to the local dance music scene.
My dad hated the music I was playing, and I couldn’t stand what he was doing. I thought zydeco music was for old people until I got with Clifton Chenier [a Grammy-winning accordion player]. That was in 1976, and up until then I’d been playing in funk and R&B bands. Clifton invited me to play organ one night, so I decided to give it a shot. I had no clue what I was in for. He strapped on his accordion, and four hours later we were still going and people were still dancing. I couldn’t believe it. That was the first time I’d ever played in a zydeco band and I wound up staying in his group for two years. Playing with Clifton also inspired me to learn the accordion, and in 1979, I formed Buckwheat Zydeco. NUVO: In the early days of Buckwheat Zydeco, promoters would often incorrectly advertise your music as Cajun. You were very adamant about correcting that and having your music properly identified as Creole. DURAL: Nobody wants to be identified
— DURAL as something they’re not. Your idenwould play music at the house. At that time they would use only two instruments, the accordion and the washboard. I don’t know if you understand what I’m talking about, but where I’m from the washboard had two jobs. During the week we used it to wash clothes in a big old tub, and on the weekends it was a musical instrument. NUVO: Did your father encourage you to learn the accordion? DURAL: Yes, accordion music was his love and he was dedicated to it. But I was stubborn and I refused to learn. I’d heard him play the accordion 24/7 growing up, and that was enough for me. I wanted to play the organ. But he took away my organ and told me, “If you’re not gonna learn the accordion, you’re not gonna play anything.” I suffered with that until my mom stepped in and my father gave my organ back. 30 MUSIC // 05.14.14 - 05.21.14 // 100% RECYCLED PAPER // NUVO
tity is everything. I’m black and I play Creole music. You have the whites and they play Cajun music. When I started out, they tried to brand everybody from Louisiana as Cajun. That’s not right. I can’t be nothing else but black. NUVO: But you have recorded Cajun songs like “Jole Blon.” What’s the relationship between zydeco and Cajun music? DURAL: This is the way I look at it: you have a white culture that speaks Cajun French, and you have a black culture speaking Creole French. They come from different parts of the world but they both understand one another and they both play similar instruments. That’s amazing to me. n >> Kyle Long creates a custom podcast for each column.

Megafauna Austin-based Dani Neff was voted Guitarist of the Year a few years ago by hometown alt-weekly, the Chronicle. And because Austin doesn’t want for guitarists (town boundaries actually burst at the seams with errant guitarists), we queued up Megafauna album Maximalist with high hopes. No disappointments, either. This three-piece unleashes a torrent of unrelenting experimental rock over the course of 11 punishing tracks. Frontwoman Neff’s shredding is complemented by the prodigious production talents of Tim Palmer (The Cure, David Bowie) and Jeff Lipton (Arcade Fire, Spoon) among other studio notables.

ROOTS Kansas Bible Company, These Goshen-to-Nashville are often seen ‘round these parts, perhaps most notably at last year’s Fountain Square Music Fest. They call themselves a “12-man wrecking ball of sound,” and that’s not an exaggeration – there really are 12 of them, and we bet they could do serious damage. Pork and Beans Brass Band, another massive group that spreads that good old NOLA sound, (maybe you saw them popping around Tonic Ball) will open. Radio Radio, 1119 E. Prospect St., 8 p.m., $7, 21+

FEST Broad Ripple Art Fair ”If the weather cooperates, which it’s supposed to, we expect around 18-20,000 people all weekend,” says Ben Shine, Director of Communications for the Indianapolis Art Center. He’s busy putting together the Broad Ripple Art Fair, which includes, alongside with hundreds of artists, live music all weekend. There’s plenty to love about the lineup (which features Brenda Williams, The Clams, Brian Deer, The Pierle Brothers, CS3 and others), but we’re particularly excited for the “official” debut of Indy supergroup Last IV. That’s the name of the new project from Tufty Clough (Zero Boys, Toxic Reasons), Devon Ashley (The Lemonheads, The Pieces, Mab Lab), Vess Von Ruhtenberg (United States Three, The Pieces, Action Strasse) and Rusty Redenbacher (Mudkids, Birdmen of Alcatraz) which first hit the stage at last year’s Tonic Ball. Their setlist will span some originals, selective covers and tracks from their individual projects (which, although we called some out above, are too numerous to fit in this space). “The list of bands that these guys come from reads like a who’s who of Indiana rock history,” Shine says. “I’ve been watching them all play in their different bands for 20 years, and this seems like the ultimate culmination of a perfect rock band.” We’ll have a profile about Last IV on NUVO.net tomorrow. For now, just contemplate how transcendent this show should be for longtime local music fans. Last IV is booked for a 3 p.m. slot on Sunday. Indianapolis Art Center Arts Park, Opti-Park, 67th St. and College Ave., Saturday – Sunday, prices vary, all-ages COUNTRY Rascal Flatts, Sheryl Crow, First on the lineup of Live Nation’s mega country summer (for which you can actually buy something called a country megaticket which will grant access to the shows all summer long) is this Rascall Flatts and Sheryl Crow show.

EXCERPTS FROM OUR ONLINE COLUMN “ASK THE SEX DOC” W
e’re back with our resident sex doctor, Dr. Debby Herbenick of Indiana University’s Kinsey Institute. Sorting the inbox and providing color commentary is calendar editor Sarah Murrell, who should never be taken seriously under almost any circumstance. On with the queries!
SWEET JESUS IN A JACKET, WHAT?! My guy and I were doing the nasty last week (I was on top of him, but facing his feet), when all of a sudden pleasure turned to pain. In the midst of the thrusting, I think what happened is his penis bent backward. He howled in pain and I got off of him. The poor thing then turned a shade of purple and was very sore for a few days. My guy is one of those “everything’s fine” guys who hates the doc, and his penis is starting to feel better. But holy hell! What happened & how do I avoid this again? — Anonymous, from Tumblr SARAH: Girlfriend, you broke his dick. You broke it. You broke his penis. YOU BROKE HIS PENIS. This is the equivalent of him tearing your vagina during vigorous sex, except with the added agony of an injury to a part of him that, to him, is symbolic of his masculinity. Start the litany of apologies now and you might be halfway done by the time you get triaged in the ER. The good doctor can tell you how but here are my suggestions for making it up to him: a cruise to Egypt, an on-call masseuse for the duration of his healing time, thank-you note duty for a decade, and/or daily blowies once he’s healed for equal the duration of his recovery time (which he’s allowed to lie about). You done to’ him up from the flo’ up, in terms of male “genital identity,” so give him a nice chunk of time to heal physically and emotionally. My limited research yielded a wide spectrum of possible consequences of a bent dick, so you have to make sure he’s cleared by a doctor. It also made me aware of a place on the internet simply called The Bent Penis Website (the-bentpenis-website.com), so it wasn’t a total loss. DR. D: Your partner absolutely should see a doctor—and if he has any bruising or swelling still, I would suggest he get in to see a doctor ASAP even if that means going to the emergency room. Although penis breaks are rare, many occur each year and often they are emergency situations. They tend to happen when a man’s penis is going in and out of his partner’s body, and then misses and hits his partner’s body. Partner on top is a common position for penile mishaps as is standing sex. One study found that penile breaks were more common in affairs, and in sex in unconventional places (e.g., offices, elevators) so be careful out there. Because penis breaks are serious, and we wouldn’t want 34 VOICES // 05.14.14 - 05.21.14 // 100% RECYCLED PAPER // NUVO

DR. DEBBY HERBENICK & SARAH MURRELL your partner to heal poorly and possibly develop scar tissue which could lead to painful or shorter erections, he really should get to a urologist as soon as possible.
Peaking Interest On average, when are men and women at their sexual peaks? — Anonymous, from Tumblr SARAH: I noticed, like a lot of my girlfriends, that my sex drive waxed and waned depending on the sexual experiences and partners I was having. Having a high sex drive at 19 is kind of meaningless if you’re still racking up experiences to give your sex life some context. I can say I want equally as much sex now as I did in my early collegiate years, but now I have the context of a sexual and romantic history to decide what kind of sex and sexual partner I want (not to mention the social skills to acquire them). It’s the same way I feel about cooking: I am frequently hungry and love to cook, but it took me years of experience and mistakes to walk into the kitchen and walk out with exactly what I’m in the mood for on my plate. But the better I get, the more time I want to spend in the, uh, kitchen. DR. D: I never know what people mean by a “sexual peak” because there are so many ways to define that. For example, men tend to find it easier to become erect in their late teens and early 20s but more difficult to control how long they last before they ejaculate, and they also tend to focus so much on performance that they miss out on more satisfying ways of connecting and being intimate (on average, intimacy during sex seems to become particularly valuable to men in their 30s and beyond). Women tend to focus more on connecting and intimacy throughout but, like men, probably only really begin to “get it” with a little age and experience. Women may lubricate more easily in their teens and early 20s but often find that it takes years to have more reliable orgasms, particularly with a partner. Sex is pretty complex and there seems to be something lovely and easy about it at every age, and something a little tricky… just to keep things interesting, I suppose.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): When the path ahead divides in two, Aries, I am hoping you can work some magic that will allow you to take both ways at once. If you do master this riddle, if you can creatively figure out how to split yourself without doing any harm, I have a strong suspicion that the two paths will once again come together no later than August 1, possibly before. But due to a curious quirk in the laws of life, the two forks will never again converge if you follow just one of them now. Aries

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you fling handfuls of zucchini seeds on the ground of a vacant lot today, you shouldn’t expect neat rows of ripe cucumbers to be growing in your backyard in a couple of weeks. Even if you fling zucchini seeds in your backyard today, you shouldn’t expect straight rows of cucumbers to be growing there by June 1. Let’s get even more precise here. If you carefully plant zucchini seeds in neat rows in your backyard today, you should not expect ripe cucumbers to sprout by August. But here’s the kicker: If you carefully plant cucumbers seeds in your backyard today, and weed them and water them as they grow, you can indeed expect ripe cucumbers by August. Gemini

moon: a ceramic disk inscribed with six drawings by noted American artists. It was carried on the landing module of the Apollo 12 mission, which delivered two astronauts to the lunar surface in November 1969. One of the artists, Leo maverick Andy Warhol, drew the image of a stylized penis, similar to what you might see on the wall of a public restroom. “He was being the terrible bad boy,” the project’s organizer said about Warhol’s contribution. You know me, Leo. I usually love playful acts of rebellion. But in the coming weeks, I advise against taking Warhol’s approach. If you’re called on to add your self-expression to a big undertaking, tilt in the direction of sincerity and reverence and dignity.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I have three sets of ques-
tions for you, Scorpio. First, are you anyone’s muse? Is there a person who draws inspiration from the way you live? Here’s my second query: Are you strong medicine for anyone? Are you the source of riddles that confound and intrigue them, compelling them to outgrow their narrow perspectives? Here’s my third inquiry: Are you anyone’s teacher? Are you an influence that educates someone about the meaning of life? If you do play any of these roles, Scorpio, they are about to heat up and transform. If you don’t currently serve at least one of these functions, there’s a good chance you will start to soon. Scorpio

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): According to my read-
ing of the astrological omens, you should draw inspiration from this Chinese proverb: “Never do anything standing that you can do sitting, or anything sitting that you can do lying down.” In other words, Sagittarius, you need extra downtime. So please say NO to any influence that says, “Do it now! Be maniacally efficient! Multitask as if your life depended on it! The more active you are the more successful you will be!” Instead, give yourself ample opportunity to play and daydream and ruminate. Sagittarius

constant transformation. Nothing ever stays the same. To succeed, let alone survive, we need to acclimate ourselves to the relentless forward motion. “He not busy being born is busy dying,” was Bob Dylan’s way of framing our challenge. How are you doing with this aspect of life, Virgo? Do you hate it but deal with it grudgingly? Tolerate it and aspire to be a master of it someday? Whatever your current attitude is, I’m here to tell you that in the coming months you could become much more comfortable with the ceaseless flow -- and even learn to enjoy it. Are you ready to begin?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In Raymond Chandler’s pulp fiction novel Farewell, My Lovely, his main character is detective Philip Marlowe. At one point Marlowe says, “I needed a drink, I needed a lot of life insurance, I needed a vacation, I needed a home in the country. What I had was a coat, a hat and a gun.” In accordance with your astrological omens, Capricorn, I’m asking you to figure out how you might be like Marlowe. Are there differences between what you think you need and what you actually have? If so, now is an excellent time to launch initiatives to fix the discrepancies. Capricorn

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There’s a slightly better chance than usual that you will have a whirlwind affair with a Bollywood movie star who’s on vacation. The odds are also higher than normal that you will receive a tempting invitation from a secret admirer, or meet the soul twin you didn’t even know you were searching for, or get an accidental text message from a stranger who turns out to be the reincarnation of your beloved from a previous lifetime. But the likelihood of all those scenarios pales in comparison to the possibility that you will learn big secrets about how to make yourself even more lovable than you already are. Aquarius

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Author Eva Dane defines writer’s block as what happens “when your imaginary friends stop talking to you.” I suspect that something like this has been happening for you lately, Pisces -- even if you’re not a writer. What I mean is that some of the most reliable and sympathetic voices in your head have grown quiet: ancestors, dear friends who are no longer in your life, ex-lovers you still have feelings for, former teachers who have remained a strong presence in your imagination, animals you once cared for who have departed, and maybe even some good, old-fashioned spirits and angels. Where did they go? What happened to them? I suspect they are merely taking a break. They may have thought it wise to let you fend for yourself for a while. But don’t worry. They will be back soon.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “If we want the rewards of being loved,” says cartoonist Tim Kreider, “we have to submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known.” How are you doing with this trade-off, Cancerian? Being a Crab myself, I know we are sometimes inclined to hide who we really are. We have mixed feelings about becoming vulnerable and available enough to be fully known by others. We might even choose to live without the love we crave so as to prop up the illusion of strength that comes from being mysterious, from concealing our depths. The coming weeks will be a good time for you to revisit this conundrum. Cancer
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “It isn’t that I don’t like sweet disorder,” said English author Vita SackvilleWest, “but it has to be judiciously arranged.” That’s your theme for the week, Libra. Please respect how precise a formulation this is. Plain old ordinary disorder will not provide you with the epiphanies and breakthroughs you deserve and need. The disorder must be sweet. If it doesn’t make you feel at least a little excited and more in love with life, avoid it. The disorder must also be judiciously arranged. What that means is that it can’t be loud or vulgar or profane. Rather, it must have wit and style and a hint of crazy wisdom. Libra

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I see you as having more in common with a marathon runner than a speed racer. Your best qualities tend to emerge when you’re committed to a process that takes a while to unfold. Learning to pace yourself is a crucial life lesson. That’s how you get attuned to your body’s signals and master the art of caring for your physical needs. That’s also how you come to understand that it’s important not to compare yourself constantly to the progress other people are making. Having said all that, Taurus, I want to recommend a temporary exception to the rule. Just for now, it may make sense for you to run fast for a short time. Taurus
