NUVO a diminshed version of itself? News of the Weird, Tom Tomorrow’s comic, movie times, concert times for venues, Ullman, and Hammer, were my only reason for picking up a NUVO. Granted, two of those were beyond the control of NUVO. David Hoppe is an intellectual snob (I’ve seen him at theatre events in Indy for years, Kyle Long is an arrogant music snob that writes drivel about the most obscure shit that he can find on Google, Ed Johnson-Ott writing, “There are visited...” In the ‘This is the End review. I could write a whole message on typos, grammatical errors, punctuation, etc. I just don’t care about your rag enough to expend the energy. NUVO was once a great thing, but now it’s a diminished version of it’s former self.

My family moved to Broad Ripple in 1956; we lived on Riverview Dr. right off of Central Ave. [“Broad Ripple Farewell”, David Hoppe, June 17, Nuvo.net ] My dad was a fireman at Engine 32 on the canal. I delivered the Times, The News and The Star all over Broad Ripple when I was 11-13. Used to ride my bicycle everywhere. Spending summers at the Riviera Club and the BR Library across from the Kroger Store. At Immaculate Heart we had football practice at the little park at 61st and Broadway every weekday; in 1962 we were undefeated City Champs. Broad Ripple was a great place to grow up; good to know it still is. — Russell Beck

WHAT HAPPENED? Anti-apartheid activist to teach at Butler / CTS Students at Christian Theological Seminary and Butler University will have an opportunity to study with one of South Africa’s leading anti-apartheid activists. Theologian Allan Boesak accepted a four-year appointment to hold the newly established Desmond Tutu Chair of Peace, Global Justice, and Reconciliation Studies, held jointly at CTS and Butler. Boesak worked with Tutu and former South African President Nelson Mandela to end the bloody and oppressive legacy of the apartheid system. Politicians in praise of coal In a letter to President Obama last week, the majority of Indiana’s Congressional Delegation joined forces to express “concern about the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) plans to issue greenhouse gas new source performance standards for new fossil fuel-based electric generating sources.” Both of the state’s U.S. senators — Dan Coats and Joe Donnelly — signed the letter, along with seven of its nine representatives. Congressmen Visclosky and Carson declined to sign. The letter talked about the low fuel costs Indiana’s coal dependency enables and the industry’s overall economic impact, including the more than 2,500 jobs the industry supports. The letter did not factor in externalities associated with climate change or other environmental or health-related impacts such as Indiana’s higher-than-average asthma rates. Among the letter’s more provocative assumptions: “New technologies for coal-based power generation are laying the foundation for advancements in power plant efficiency, bringing us closer to a future where near-zero emissions from coal are a reality.” Citizens Action Coalition’s Executive Director Kerwin Olson did not go so far as to call the statement a lie, just an oxymoron. “We need look no further than the Edwardsport IGCC [coal gasification plant], which is allegedly the model for the future of “clean” coal and the cleanest coal plant ever built …” Olson wrote in response to a request for comment. “What’s clean about 4 metric tons of carbon dioxide, over 1,500 tons of nitrous oxide and over 1,200 tons of particulate matter? Let’s not forgot to mention significant emissions of volatile organic compounds, sulfuric acid, lead, beryllium and other toxic metals.” Jesse Kharbanda, executive director of the Hoosier Environmental Council, also weighed in: “In the absence of a price on carbon, the EPA rule — which is more sophisticated than the writers of this letter describe it to be — should be welcomed, rather than resisted, because it’s the long-delayed spur the coal industry needs to decarbonize, and thereby compete in a world where more and more nations are establishing a price on carbon, and thereby accelerating their shift from coal.” [Read complete statements from Olsen and Kharbanda at NUVO.net.] Back home in Indianapolis, the words “climate change” are not the focus of city news releases, but a widespread focus on resource efficiency and sustainability issues continues to cultivate tangible results — most recently the announcement that Indy will use $1 million in federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality funds to invest in a bike-share program to be operated and maintained by the non-profit Indianapolis Cultural Trail Inc. — REBECCA TOWNSEND 6 NEWS // 06.19.13 - 06.26.13 // 100% RECYCLED P APER // NUVO

STRETCHING THROUGH ADDICTION
Grown in Midtown Indy, the Yoga of 12-Step Recovery is now practiced from coast to coast B Y REBECCA TO W N S EN D RT O W N S E N D @ N U V O . N E T

hrough her personal addiction recovery experiences, Indy native Nikki Myers discovered a lot of common ground with other addicts — even if they didn’t share the same object of fixation. “Under any manifestation of addiction, there is some trauma,” Myers said in a recent interview. “Not necessarily shock trauma, but, from an ayurvedic perspective, anything unresolved or undigested that is just hanging out.” On her own journey, traditional 12-step work — which involves an ongoing process of spiritual awakening, rigorous personal honesty and a commitment to help others who are still suffering — anchored her recovery. Over the years, Myers, who founded the CITYOGA School of Yoga and Health in 2002, began drawing parallels between the principles she practiced in her 12-step program and the lessons of self discovery that were manifest on her yoga mat. “In many ways, addiction is self-medicating, a way to cover over core pain, to do something to avoid it or get distracted — an artificial attempt to bring balance into a system that’s in disregulation,” Myers said. “The issues live in our tissues,” she often reminds her students. Working to re-align a person’s body, mind, emotions, character and spiritual heart supports whole-person healing that can enhance, but not supplant the work accomplished with traditional recovery programs, she explained. Myers began the first Yoga of 12-Step Recovery program in 2004 at CITYOGA. “We started out once a quarter, then monthly, then every two weeks, then weekly, then people from all over Midwest started coming,” Myers said. “That’s when we developed the leadership training — how you do this safely and hold that space. … At the last training I had women from Canada.” Today, almost 300 people have completed Y12SR leadership training, guiding meetings in 13 states. In Indy, teachers hold Y12SR meetings three nights a week in different locations, including an open class at the Fairbanks Recovery Center. The concept of using yoga for spiritual recovery is not a new concept, Myers said, but Y12SR forged new ground by pairing a yoga class with a 12-step meeting that unites

addicts of all flavors and people who suffer from the addictive behavior of others. After about an hour of discussion on recoveryrelated issues, the group unrolls its yoga mats for a themed yoga practice. “This system is looking for homeostasis; the problem is homeostasis isn’t static,” Myers said. “That’s why we do these bodycentered practices, because I can know at a level of sensation when I’m in it — but I can’t get tricked into thinking what was homeostasis last week or year will represent homeostasis today.” The class is designed to “hold space” for people to experience and work through emotions that may have them trapped in unhealthy patterns. “In yoga, feelings are energy and they want to move,” Myers said. “It’s only when they grasp me and I want to hold and carry them that I run into problems … Whatever the feeling, we do not shame it or try to shut it down.” Y12SR is not a replacement for 12-step meetings or working through the steps with the assistance of a program sponsor, Myers tells people attending her donation-based classes. It simply adds “another tool to the toolbox” people can use to negate the damaging — and often deadly —direction of what she calls the “dis-ease” of addictive thinking. “Addiction is a fact of life, but it doesn’t have to be a life sentence,” Myers said. “There is resilience in the human system when we’re open and willing to have it happen.” After praying to “no longer play small in the world,” Myers said, “this is the answer that has been revealed.” Noting that she feels “humble, grateful and absolutely blown away”
MONUMENTAL YOGA More than 700 people are expected to blanket Monument Circle for a Summer Solstice series of basic yoga sun salutations. DJ Kyle Long will warm up the crowd and Cathy Morris has composed “Music for Wellness” to perform during the day’s practice. Organizers hope the event will allow people who have never tried yoga to give it a try. People are encouraged to bring mats and water bottles. Yoga of 12-Step Recovery and Growing Places Indy will be the beneficiaries of the day’s donations. Where: Monument Circle – rain or shine When: Friday, June 21 Time: Noon-1:30 p.m. Price: Free, donation encouraged by the growth in the Y12SR program, Myers added, “at the same time, I’m just inspired to do everything I can,” she said. “It’s real clear there’s something going on here that’s a whole lot bigger than me — and there is a healing involved in this coupleship. This is my dharma, clearly my life’s work. If I had to go through the hell I went to go through to get to this, I’m OK with that today.” For local Y12SR meeting days and times, visit y12sr.com.

LEADERS, CLERGY RALLY FOR IMMIGRATION REFORM “Pathway to Citizenship” legislation now pending in the U.S. Senate BY F RA N Q U I G L EY EDITORS@NUVO.NET
Lupe Pimentel grew up in Indianapolis and attended Pike Township schools. Now 20 years old, she is a student at Ivy Tech, an active community volunteer, and has a wide circle of friends. But her life is far different than the life most of those friends lead. Pimentel cannot drive a vehicle or work at a paying job. She can only afford to take a class or two at a time because her college tuition is three times what her friends pay. Her grandmother is ailing in Mexico, but Pimentel cannot visit her. Pimentel’s parents brought her to Indianapolis from Veracruz, Mexico, when she was just 6 years old. She found out she was an undocumented immigrant when she was in eighth grade. Pimentel was completing the application for a scholarship program and discovered she did not have a Social Security number to include on the form. That scholarship became the first of many opportunities closed to her. Despite Indianapolis being the only home she knows, Pimentel is an undocumented immigrant and seems doomed to a life of second-class status here. “But hopefully, that will be changing, sooner than later,” she said. The most immediate opportunity for change sits with an immigration reform bill currently pending in the U.S. Senate that would provide a route to legal status for 11 million aspiring Americans like Pimentel. A crowd of about 150 people marched Downtown on Saturday, waving signs, banging drums, and chanting slogans such as, “We are all Americans!/Todos somos Americanos!" A coalition of local faith and labor leaders organized the "Pathway to Citizenship" rally to encourage U.S. Senator Joe Donnelly, an Indiana Democrat, to support the pending legislation. In response to a request for Donnelly's stance on the current reform effort, his press secretary forwarded the following statement: “The Senate has started a multiple week debate on bipartisan immigration reform legislation. I am in the process of reviewing the legislation, and I will be carefully studying the many amendments that will be offered." In response to NUVO's request for an assessment on the proposed reform legislation from Sen. Dan Coats, R-Ind., his press secretary forwarded the following statement attributed to Coats: "Immigration reform must take place through an open, fair and thorough debate with the input of the American people. However, I have serious concerns with the current text of the legislation that came out of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and believe it needs to be improved before I could support it. "As the ranking member of the Senate

About 150 people marched Downtown on Saturday at the “Pathway to Citizenship” rally to encourage U.S. Senator Joe Donnelly to support the pending immigration reform legislation.
Indianapolis resident Lupe Pimentel spoke at Saturday’s rally. Now 20, she moved to Indy as a 6-year-old. She discovered she was undocumented in eighth grade when she was trying to apply for a scholarship.
Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee, I am particularly focused on ensuring that we secure our borders as part of any immigration bill … I also believe immigration reform should include measures to improve employer verification and strengthen the exit system, especially given that approximately 40 percent of all illegal individuals here today come to the U.S. legally but then overstay their visas.” The immigration reform movement has a wide base of local support. A recent poll from the Public Religion Research Institute showed that two-thirds of Hoosiers believe undocumented immigrants should be provided a path to legal citizenship. Another poll, conducted by Harper Polling and sponsored by the Alliance for Citizenship, Partnership for a New American Economy and Republicans for Immigration Reform, reported similar sentiments among those questioned. From a pool of 509 "likely voters"
(44 percent of whom identified as Republicans, 33 percent as Democrats, and 23 percent as independent), the Harper poll found that 69 percent of respondents "strongly or somewhat support bipartisan immigration reform legislation being debated in Washington." Nearly all of those polled — 92 percent — said it was "very or somewhat important that the U.S. fix its immigration system this year" and 47 percent of respondents reported being "more likely to vote for an elected official who supports comprehensive immigration reform that includes a path to citizenship." Harper said its poll had a margin of error of less then 5 percent. “The results of this statewide poll should be yet another indication to our elected officials in Washington that their constituents want, and are ready for, a real and lasting solution to mend our broken immigration system,” Mayor Tom Henry of Fort Wayne said in a news release accompanying the Harper poll data. “Comprehensive immigration reform is one of the rare issues that is both good politics and good policy. There is bipartisan support for the Senate bill that includes a path to citizenship.” Powerful Indiana organizations including Eli Lilly and Company, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Indianapolis, and the Indiana Chamber of Commerce support the proposed reform legislation, along with the state’s top labor leaders. Pimentel, who spoke at the rally Saturday, would like to get a degree in education and become a teacher of elementary students. Her hope is that events like Saturday’s rally provide material for future civic lessons. “The community is here, and the community has spoken,” Pimentel said, pointing to the clergy and the labor union leaders lined up to speak, and listing the prominent businesses who support the reform. “It is time for Senator Donnelly to listen to the community who he represents.”
WHAT’S THE BUZZ? HOOSIER HONEYBEES ESSENTIAL FOR FUTURE OF FOOD
ur bees are pulling a disappearing act. The question scientists, beekeepers, even the United Nations are trying to answer is why. Our planet is in the midst of a global bee crisis. Between 2006 and 2007, 32 percent of America’s honeybees died, according to a survey by Apiary Inspectors of America and the US Department of Agriculture. The next winter, 36 percent, more than 1 million hives, disappeared. Honeybees across the world are perishing quickly and without warning. The suspected culprit? Beekeepers say it’s the pesticides, specifically neonicotinoids, that coat our farmlands. This massive shift, called colony collapse disorder, doesn’t just affect our honey supply. These bees facilitate agriculture, pollinating most of the fruits and vegetables we eat. One of every three bites of food we eat is pollinated by a bee, beekeepers say. And with bee populations at a 50 year low and falling rapidly, there is a fear of an imminent global food crisis. “The way humanity manages or mismanages its nature-based assets, including pollinators, will in part define our collective future in the 21st century,” said Achim Steiner, executive director of the United Nations’ Environment Program, in a 2011 report. “Human beings have fabricated the illusion that in the 21st century they have the techno-

logical prowess to be independent of nature. Bees underline the reality that we are more, not less, dependent on nature’s services in a world of close to 7 billion people.” CCD is poorly understood –– a combination of habitat loss, pesticide exposure, and invasive parasites and viruses are the most agreed-upon potential causes –– but beekeepers know their work is essential for the continuation of our food system. Central Indiana’s beekeepers work furiously to make sure our bees stay healthy and happy, while simultaneously educating the public on the very real threats that will result if bees disappear. From Kate Franzman’s new urban beekeeping initiative Bee Public to the longtime beekeepers of Wildflower Ridge Honey, there are hives hidden all over our fair city. Hobby beekeepers like Ross Harding and Tim Caldwell have become hardcore devotees to honeybee organizations, like the Central Indiana Beekeeping Association. Hundreds of Hoosiers enroll in Indy beekeeping classes yearly, and thousands enjoy the taste and health benefits of local honey. So, this month, I set out to understand our local bees and their keepers a little better. Beekeepers are an inspiring sort. After all, how many people can say their hobby will literally help feed the world? –– Katherine Coplen

Dave Barrickman at his Statehouse Market booth
Wildflower Ridge Honey sweetens Indy markets You may have tasted some of Patricia and Dave Barrickman’s honey and not even realized it. Their products sweeten the treats at some of Indy’s most popular joints. The couple provides honey straight from their Anderson farm to New Day Meadery, Circle City Sweets and Cornerstone Bakery. “I was raised around bees, from the time I was little,” Dave said one day at the Statehouse Market, the farmers’ market held on Thursdays outside the Indiana Statehouse and Government Center. “My grandfather had bees. I was 19 when I got my first hive and I’ve had bees ever since, in one form or another.” After retiring, Dave increased his honey production. First, he offered pints and quarts of honey from the hives in his backyard. As his wife, Patricia, became more involved in the company, the products provided by Wildflower Ridge Honey expanded quickly. They added whipped and flavored varieties, along with fresh honeycomb, cosmetics and pollen. But even loyal fans of that simple jug of honey will notice yearly changes from Wildflower Ridge. “The taste of honey varies year to year,” Patti said. “If there’s a drought, if it’s a dry
season, a wet season, Indiana’s honey will never taste the same twice.” She mentions last year’s spectacular harvest in particular –– after an early spring, blooms from honey locust trees helped create a particularly clear honey that was notable for its light taste. “We still have people asking for it this year,” Patricia said. The Barrickmans’ long relationship with local bees have made them invaluable resources for new beekeepers like Ross Harding (see page 13). Dave was previously president and vice president of the Indiana Beekeepers Association, but he’s been involved in other groups besides the IBA. “We’ve spawned off about 12 different local groups all around the state that didn’t exist before. The Urban Beekeeper League in Indianapolis spawned off of my group, East Central Indiana Beekeepers.” And as groups for beekeepers have grown, so has the general public’s awareness of the benefits of bees and raw honey. “A bee hive is a virtual medicine cabinet that God provides for us,” Dave said. “And people are starting to come back around and see that. I’m becoming impressed with the number of people coming up to our booth [at farmers’ markets] and saying, ‘My doctor recommended that I use local honey.’ That’s something that hasn’t
happened for many years.” Overall changes in the way we eat have changed business for the Barrickmans. “The slow food movement has definitely educated the public,” Dave said. “It’s enhanced people’s knowledge, and enhanced the questions that they’ve asked. They know the benefits of local honey, they know the benefits of raw honey –– and they know the difference between honey from a beekeeper and honey from a grocery store. I’m impressed. I used to spend all my time educating the customer, and now they want to tell me stories.” Dave has kept up with bee issues since 1988, when a mite infestation killed 10 of his 11 colonies in one winter. That’s when he realized there was trouble. “Colony collapse is a big problem here in the United States,” Dave said. “We know what the problem is. Beekeepers know what the problem is. I can sum it up real easy: Monsanto. Bayer. ChemLawn [now TruGreen]. GMO seeds. Every bit of that. “Everything is sprayed. Herbicides, fungicides, pesticides –– it’s a concoction out there. The bees are [picking it up] and bringing to it back to the hives. The bees are also infested with the same mites that we’ve been dealing with since 1988. Those mites are carrying about seven different viruses. Chemicals are breaking down the bees’ immune systems and the viruses take over. In a week’s time, they’re gone.” Internationally, there have been some recent promising gains. In late April, the European Union adopted a two-year moratorium on the use of three pesticides believed to be part of the reason behind a 30 percent annual decrease in bee populations since 2007. “[The ban] is another milestone towards ensuring a healthier future for our honeybees,” Tonio Borg, the European Union’s commissioner for health and consumer policy said right after the decision. “As bees have two important roles to play: Not only that of producing honey but primarily to be a pollinator. About 80 percent of all pollination is due to the activity of bees – this is natural and free of costs.” Unfortunately, within weeks of the E.U.’s decision, the EPA approved a controversial new pesticide called sulfoxaflor
for use in America. Sulfoxaflor is classified as “highly toxic” to honeybees. Monsanto and other agri-chem companies aren’t blind to their effect on honeybees, or the public’s perception of their part in CCD. On June 14, Monsanto announced the founding of the Honey Bee Advisory Council, comprised of Monsanto executives and bee experts, including David Mendes (past president of American Beekeeping Association), Diana Cox-Foster (Penn State University president) and commercial beekeepers. Bayer is founding a Bee Care Center in North Carolina, set to open this summer. The pledge by agri-chem companies to investigate their role in honeybee deaths seems promising, but change is not coming soon enough for local beekeepers like the Barrickmans. “I had a bee kill in one of my yards last year right after corn planting season. ... I had the state chemist come out and take samples,” Dave said. “And those samples came back positive [for neonicotinoids]. Now, it’s the buildup in the soil that we’re getting, between herbicides, fungicides and pesticides that the bees are getting when they’re out there and bringing back to the hive.” Urban beekeepers have a few specific problems. “Nobody wants any dandelions in their yard, so they spray with [TruGreen]. … [And] up and down the alleys they’re fogging and spraying for mosquitoes. [They’re] killing mosquitoes, but] they’re indiscriminately killing everything else. None of those chemicals are insect specific. They’re broad coverage.” When Dave is asked about prospects for bees in the near future, his thoughts are grim. “In the United States, bees are just being destroyed,” Dave said. “There’s a lot of problems with the plight of the bee. But in 20 years, it’s going to continue to get worse.” But beekeepers like the Barrickmans will continue to be good stewards of the bees. “We’re fighting our US government, we’re fighting the Ag Department, we’re fighting the chemical companies.” And as the line in front of the Barrickmans’ Statehouse Market booth shows, that fight, sometimes, is sweet. –– Katherine Coplen

A visit to Arlington Farms with Bee Public Bees and farms are like peas in a pod –– or at least they should be. That’s the mission of Bee Public, an organization founded and organized by Kate Franzman, who understands the important role that bees play when it comes to our produce. “My bees have a buffet,” Franzman said as she started showing off her bee hives one day in May at Arlington Farms. There are currently two hives in the back of a three-acre urban garden for community supported agriculture that Christina Hatton, her husband and a few other families started just one year ago on the Eastside just south of Irvington. The bees from Franzman’s hive will help pollinate the produce, thereby increasing production of watermelon, garlic, onions, beets and dozens of other crops they’ve planted this year. Previously employed in the corporate world, Franzman left her full-time job this year to devote herself to this new project. She’s also a farmer’s apprentice with Growing Places Indy and a freelance writer. So how does one become a beekeeper? Franzman started with YouTube videos and online communities although she was presented with several challenges. Beekeeping has so many interchangeable terms to describe the equipment and methodology –– for example, a hive stack may be referred to as “supers, deeps, mediums or shallows.” On top of the jargon maze, finding equipment for beekeeping was like finding a needle in a bee swarm. The white jacket and hood that Franzman

Participants plant a flower, then, during two 15-minute observations each month, they count how many bees visit it. Results are posted on the day of the Great Bee Count, adding to biology professor Gretchen LeBuhn’s nationwide database tracking pollinator whereabouts and activity. LeBuhn, in recent years, has found low numbers of bees in urban areas across America, adding weight to the theory that habitat loss is one of the primary reasons for sharp population declines. –– Laura Fernandez

ZomBee Watch is the second project organized by biology professor John Hafernik who discovered that parasitic flies are infecting honeybees. After a bout of disoriented, “zombie-like” behavior during which the infected bees abandon their hives, they die. Volunteers construct a simple light trap to collect bees for observation –– monitoring them for signs of the parasite. Any “ZomBee” sightings are to be reported to Hafernik via zombeewatch.org. Hafernik, through the project, has learned the parasitic fly has spread up the West Coast to the Pacific Northwest. Nationwide data will allow him and his team to determine if it has reached the Midwest and East. ZomBee Watch takes place when infestations peak in late summer and fall. –– Laura Fernandez

Ross Harding’s Cultural Trail bees Ross Harding pulled thousands of bees out of a bedroom ceiling this year. Their new digs? The R Bistro garden, just off the Cultural Trail. “It’s really nice to take bees from somewhere like that –– where someone might kill them –– and save them and relocate them to a place like [R Bistro],” Harding said. That hive now houses more than 60,000 bees, who, by day, are constantly coming and going between the flowering trees, lavender bushes and various plants that populate the garden. At night, they fan their wings furiously, drying out the nectar they’ve collected and turning it into honey. Harding, 27, has been beekeeping for almost two years. His interest was sparked by an article covering the basics in Backwoodsman magazine. “I got into it for honey,” Harding said. “But then I built a huge appreciation for the honeybee, especially [after reading about] the decline of the population.” Now, he’s part of the core group of the Central Indiana Beekeepers Association, where he presents monthly Bees in the News information sessions, keeping the group up to date on the latest threats to bees. He also teaches regular bee education courses. “A lot of people are afraid of bees,” said Harding, who works full time at a local communications company and bee-keeps in his free time. “Knowing that they’re not
Tim Caldwell studies the super society When I asked the Central Indiana Beekeepers Association to connect me with a knowledgeable beekeeper, they sent me to Tim Caldwell. And when we met one day last week at Mo’Joe Coffeehouse, it was clear why Caldwell was the guy: he’s passionate about bees. It started in 2010 with a call from his daughter. “I ordered a pack of bees,” she said. “And I need you to build me a hive.” Before that call, Caldwell, a carpenter, had never thought much about bees. But to help his daughter, he looked up how to build a hive, joined the CIBA and that was it. He was hooked. Listening to Caldwell talk about bee society is mesmerizing. He describes the intricate, figure-eight dance, called a waggle dance, that scout bees perform to show the direction and distance to different pollen sources. It’s just one of many subjects of fascination for Caldwell. “A hive is considered a super-organ-
out to get us, that they do good for our environment, that we need them for food, that’s what’s most important.” On Saturday, June 15 Harding conducted a basic beekeeping course for the employees of R Bistro, who got to peer into the two hives that sit just outside the kitchen of their Mass Ave restaurant. As he pulled the frames out of the top bar hive one by one, he talked casually about the structure of the hive –– guard bees, nurse bees and hive cleaners scurried over the panels. Then, on frame four, something special. “I can see the queen from here,” Harding said excitedly, as he eased the frame from its slot. The wax covered frame was teeming with hundreds of bees –– and there, right in the center, the queen. Queens are much bigger than other bees and are slightly lighter in color than the drones and workers. As we watched, she buzzed from cell to cell over the honey comb, dropping eggs into each cup. Over the course of one day, a queen can lay more than 2,000 eggs –– more than her body weight. While regular workers (sterile females) and drones (males) live approximately 45 days (“They essentially flap their wings off,” said Harding), a queen can live up to six years. Right now, he stops by the R Bistro hives about once a week. It’s not ready for honey harvesting yet –– each hive needs between 80 to 100 pounds of honey to make it through the winter – so it’s fairly low-maintenance for now. “Once I know that they’re set up with a laying queen, I don’t have to worry about
ism,” he said. “None of them can make it without all of them. Everybody thinks the queen decides everything, but she doesn’t. The workers do. There are undertaker bees, there are nurse bees, there are wax builders and hive cleaners.” Each bee performs an exactly specific role for the hive.
“A hive is considered a super-organism.” — TIM CALDWELL “If the bees are going to swarm, they scout out cavities. They may have seven or eight that they like. Scouts come back and dance on the mass of bees. Others check it out, and then the bees use a quorum system to pick where to go. It’s almost like a brain and they’re all neurons.” Although their society is highly organized, each hive does vary substantially.
them too much. I make ke sure they have enough space; ace; if they don’t have enough space, ace, they can swarm.” But Harding is expeerienced with swarms. In fact, his now-hived d swarm at R Bistro is currently one of his healthiest colonies. Harding’s goal for thee end of summer is to place 100 total total hives. He’s planning forr hives on top of Ivy Tech as part art of of the the Culinary Arts Program.

“Different hives have different personalities,” Caldwell said. “Different weather conditions and different times of day create different personalities. It [also] depends on the temperament of the queen.” His interest in beekeeping may be new, but he’s always loved honey. “When I was a kid, we’d go to Tuttle’s Apple Orchard, and I’d get a comb of honey. That was my treat.” Now, he’s got several hives full of his own comb honey in his Eastside backyard. “The biggest thing about urban beekeeping is the [education]. You’ve got to talk to all your neighbors and friends and educate them,” Caldwell said. “Beekeeping is all about learning and teaching. You can read everything you can find on it, but [the best way] is to get there and do it yourself. The education is best started early. Our city’s kids benefit from the knowledge of beekeepers like Caldwell, who plans to teach the honeybee portion of an agricultural program at the Children’s Museum on July 17. –– Katherine Coplen

REAL, LIVE INDIANS AT EITELJORG
Indian Market welcomes 160 artists across ‘continuum of Native American expression’ B Y M A D EL I N E S ZRO M EDITORS@NUVO.NET

his weekend marks the 21st year for the Eiteljorg Museum’s Indian Market, an outdoor festival packed with Native American artwork, entertainment, food — and most importantly, Native Americans. “It’s one of the few times a year we have real, live Indians,” said Jaq Nigg, festival and events manager at the Eiteljorg. “This is the time that we can step back and let the natives tell their own story. It’s not white guy Jack translating something hanging on a wall.” The Eiteljorg opened its doors in 1989, and the Indian Market launched in 1992, welcoming 12,000 visitors that year, the highest number of attendees in the history of the market. 57 artists were involved in the first year; that number has now risen to 160. “The first year we accepted every artist that applied, but over the years we’ve really fine-tuned our selection,” Nigg said. “It’s a juried show now. People have to send us slides of their work and experts look at it.” Art is one of the biggest draws of the market. Native artists from all over the country submit their work, and if chosen, travel to Indianapolis to showcase their creations as well as sell to the public. And it’s not exactly what many people may expect. “The Indian market talks about the continuum of Native American expression,” said Jennifer McNutt, curator of contemporary art at the Eiteljorg. “There’s traditional art, but there are artists who are doing things that are very contemporary or things that combine traditional with innovation.” “People come to see a certain level of “Indianness.” They want to see the headdresses and feathers and they get surprised and pleased when they see the contemporary stuff,” Nigg said. For dedicated lovers of native art, the market starts off with a preview party, which gives the public a chance to come and view the artwork before the masses, meet the artists and see who will be voted Best in Show, among other awards. “You’re with the artists before they’re really working, they’re just hanging out and everyone is in a good mood,” Nigg said. “Plus, there’s a cash bar.” For those who aren’t quite as dedicated, the market offers jewelry, performances, including storytellers and dancers, traditional and contemporary music,

and something called an Indian Taco. The fried bread crowd pleaser can be eaten as a desert with powdered sugar or honey, or as a dinner with taco fixings.
Apparently, the wait time for one of these confections can reach an hour, though Nigg claims they are well worth it. “I eat two a year. One for dinner, one dessert,” she laughed. When the Indian Market came into being in 1992, it followed in the path of the country’s big two markets: the Santa Fe Indian Market and the Heard Indian Market. Nigg mentioned that Santa Fe’s market has nearly 12,000 artists, although she believes the Eiteljorg’s more modest 150-200-artist count makes the event more intimate. Throughout the Eiteljorg’s existence, the Indian Market has remained its largest, most visible event. “The staff all comes together, it gives us this opportunity to work with living artists and we put our money where our mouth is. People come together here, and it’s just neat,” Nigg said.

T
his summer the hallways and exhibition spaces of the Indianapolis Art Center are jam-packed with the work of artists using unusual materials such as tape, floor debris, and sod in their work. But perhaps the most audacious of these artists is the one looking to use your spare change. In Portraits of a Post-Industrial American, Stacey Lee Webber makes innovative use of pennies and other small currencies. Her work — which includes necklaces, a saw and an American flag — is on display through August 4. Webber, who grew up in Indy and is now based in Philadelphia, was on hand during the opening reception on June 14. One thing she made immediately clear: she’s no coin collector. “Yeah. I do have a lot of coins but usually the coins are worthless,” she said. “That’s how I get them, people give them to me.” Looking at her sculpture, “God Bless
America: Flag,” made from soldered together pennies, you can see the fifty stars representing the states punched clear through the wavy (as if blowing in the wind) copper flag. You also see that the flag’s stripes are approximated by alternating rows of pennies facing opposite directions (rows of “heads alternating with rows of “tails”). You might wonder where this artist gets her training (and her patience) to work with such an inflexible material. Webber received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Ball State University in 2005; she went on to pick up her Master of Fine Arts from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2008. During those years, she mastered jewelry making techniques and tools that allow her to impose her will on base metals — and occasionally on more valuable materials. “I’ve done some permission pieces with silver coins that can be pretty valuable, but I don’t have a gold or platinum coin that I’m working with,” said Webber. “That’s the whole idea of this, that I’m putting all this labor and time into things that are valueless.”

Webber is not the only artist in this exhibition working on a small scale. Katie Vota uses microscopic images of tree and plant cells as references in her work cutting designs into white paper. In seeing this work, the viewer might ask how molecular structures resemble and/or are related to structures on the macro level. And then there are the paintings of Margi Weir that explore the macro-level urban blight of Detroit. In a gallery setting, far
removed from the derelict neighborhoods in which these structures can be found, you might indeed find an odd, abstracted beauty in them. The paintings of her “Frontline Series/Detroit” are beautifully composed in various inks and tusche. The depicted structures stand starkly against the unadorned rag paper on which they are painted, on which they almost seem to float. Perhaps the most whimsical of the works on display are the sculptures of Lee Littlefield, on display both in the IAC building (in the Ruth Lilly Library) and in the ArtsPark bordered by the banks of the White River. His colorful work, said to be influenced by the Texas and Louisiana Bayous, seems to be a cross between the hybrid creatures/plants from Invasion of the Body Snatchers and those found in The Lorax. But the whimsy of his work is tinged with sadness. Littlefield had been expected to attend the opening, according to Patrick Flaherty, director of exhibitions and artist services at the IAC, but he died last Sunday of Stage IV lung cancer in his home.

Forget about the cost of gas, the bother of parking and seat your self at a comfy table in the Athenaeum Theatre — then relax and laugh yourself smart. There’s a lot of wisdom in the shenanigans of SPAMALOT and this amazing cast and crew not only knows how to catch a fish, revive the dead and walk on water — they can sing up a storm, dance down doubts and win a battle without so much as a horseshoe lost. Everyone, everything is meticulously on mark in this ever-changing send-up of King Arthur’s quest that’s sure to send you home humming “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.” We could name lots of names, spout lots of adjectives and adverbs to further convince but truthfully, one word suffices: superb. —Rita Kohn Athenaeum Theatre, June 20-23, 28-29, $25 adult (discounts available), bobdirex.com Dos Fallopia: Spudd Potion No. 9 t Phoenix Theater staple Dos Fallopia — a sort of Saturday Night Live for the Centrum Silver set —returns to Indy this month after a four year absence. Lisa Koch demonstrates musical ability lampooning Fleetwood Mac at a Lilith Fair style festival. Her hambone stage partner Peggy Platt goes over the top as the drugged out “Nicky Steves.” The sketch comedy includes substantial LGBTQ friendly humor that’s at times hilarious — particularly when the female duo cross-dresses in order to dissect a small-town gay men’s chorus. However, the team’s musical parodies become tiresome when lyrics are slurred and difficult to hear. And a toolong parody of a long-gone soap opera misses the mark due to a severe lack of editing. —Katelyn Coyne Phoenix Theatre through July 14, $28 adult, phoenixtheatre.org
Asante Children’s Theatre: Star Midnight r A lot of heart, truth and talent make Star Midnight compelling musical theatre. Deborah Asante’s wise, compassionate yet biting script presents a litany of classic case bullying, including grandmother-style put-downs — “You’re beautiful but; you’re talented but; you’re smart, but; I love you, but.” As if the barrage at breakfast isn’t enough for Star to contend with, at school it’s the girl with the shallow ego dominating her circle of cohorts making life miserable for anyone not willing to come under her spell. Some take refuge as “The Outsiders.” Others duke it out, with repercussions that can be disastrous. This play entertains with high-spirited singing and dancing coupled with sharp dialogue. Astutely directed by Asante with musical direction by Vincent Howard and choreography by David Orr. – Rita Kohn Madame Walker Theatre Center, June 20-23, asantechildrenstheatre.org

THIS AIN’T THE BARD’S MACBETH But it’s not Holinshed’s either; NoExit moves action to insane asylum
BY RY A N H O W E EDITORS@NUVO.NET
W
hat if Macbeth had already lost his head at the beginning of the play? That’s the foundation for NoExit Performance’s new adaptation of Macbeth, directed and conceived by Michael Burke. This Is Not Shakespeare’s MacBeth is set in a mental hospital, where doctors and patients are seen staging traumas from MacBeth’s life toward a therapeutic end. When he began working on the play in January, Burke knew that he wanted his version of Macbeth to head in a new territory (eventually tagged as “one part Shakespeare, one part Freud, and one part Parnassus” on the show’s flyer). “When the idea of doing Macbeth was thrown onto the table, I immediately thought about the decapitation scene,” Burke says. “I didn’t want to show the audience a fake plastic head and ruin the reality, so I came up with a way for Macbeth to lose his head, without actually losing his head. If you are a die hard fan of the original than this might not be the performance for you; we have definitely changed a lot.” Those changes include doing away with all supporting actors — the only named characters in NoExit’s version are Macbeth (Matthew Goodrich), Lady Macbeth (Georgeanna Smith) and Banquo (Logan Moore). The remaining seven cast members are “played” by nameless patients who are given selected lines from the original play. Smith says she’s been working on getting into her character since rehearsals began in May: “This piece is so different, and portraying a mental patient who straddles this world and the world in Macbeth’s head has been difficult. I have to gradually lose my mind through the play, and do it with conviction.” NoExit is presenting the show at Irvington Office Center, just down the road from its Irvington Lodge headquarters. The cast and crew has transformed a cafeteria in the center into a hospital room

It’s the latest site-specific piece by the peripatetic troupe, which has performed in Garfield Park and on the grounds on the Indianapolis Museum of Art within the past year. “The story itself is uncreepy,” Burke said. “The idea is really what is scary about it. Our biggest fears come from our imagination, and Macbeth is facing that.”

Guitar-playing Indians shortstop D’Arnaud wants to sing you a tune

UVO spent time before a recent Indians game talking with shortstop Chase d’Arnaud, a top prospect in the organization who’s back in the lineup after battling several injuries. d’Arnaud, who made his MLB debut in 2011 with Pittsburgh (he played in 48 games that season, starting 33 of them), also happens to play a little guitar and violin; he closed out our interview by playing a few verses of “Blackbird.” The Indianapolis Indians embark on 11-day home stand beginning Friday (or 12 days if you count a July 4 game). NUVO: You are coming back from several injuries. How challenging has that been for you? CHASE: It’s really frustrating, you think about how hard you train.

A RIDE WITH A PURPOSE
Cancer fundraiser 24 Hours of Booty returns to Butler campus BY PA IGE SO UTH E R L A ND EDITORS@NU VO . N ET
The uncertainty started when Anna Pennycuff — an RN by day, Naptown Roller Girls by night — found herself bruising frequently and easily. Cancer never entered her mind, until a routine blood test showed that her white blood cells were elevated. She was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in 2009. “As a couple, we were in shock,” Anna’s husband, Jeff, says today of that period. “The uncertainty of how long she had to live along with all the things that go with that are overwhelming and indescribable.” Jeff says his focus was entirely on Anna during those years. While she isn’t cancer-free at present, treatment with the cancer inhibitor Imatinib has prevented the growth of further cancer cells on the molecular level. Having come through that experience with Anna, Jeff resolved to devote himself to cause of cancer fundraising. And he chose to get involved with 24 Hours of Booty, because, he argues, the medicine that keeps her alive today was discovered in part thanks to fundraising efforts like the event. And when 24 Hours of Booty, a fundraiser for LIVESTRONG that challenges participants to bike into the wee hours of the morning, returns for its second year to Indianapolis this month, Jeff will again be at the front of the pack. The event will again be held at Butler University, which will make room for the event’s Booty Loop, a traffic-free loop and Bootyville, the event’s own mini-city, home to riders sleeping and relaxing while off of the bike. Also found in Bootyville is a food tent where riders receive three meals

over the 24-hour event. Since 24 Hours of Booty’s inception in 2002, more than seven million has been raised towards cancer research and survivorship for local and national cancer charities. The Indianapolis version will host 400-plus bike riders who will raise more than $200,000 for cancer research and survivorship. Last year, Jeff set his fundraising goal at $1,500 but raised it several times due to overwhelming response. The final total was $4,000, putting him at second place in individual fundraising. With his minimum goal set at $4,000 this year, Jeff is looking to family and friends for donations. And while he rode alone in the 2012 race, this year he’s gathered together family and friends to race as a team — named Team Naughty, in honor of Anna’s old roller girl name, Ivanna B. Naughty. At present, Team Naughty ranks eighth in top teams with a total fundraising number at $1,610, while Jeff ranks ninth as a top participant coming in at $1,230. “I’m not sure what benefits we have seen, but I’m sure there are some just as I know that the event got the word out for cancer research and fundraising in the community,” Jeff says. “As the inaugural event, no one knew what 24 Hours of Booty was. This year, everyone is aware and asks questions about my team and the event schedule.” Jeff’s original goal was to clock 100 miles during the event last year, but the weather and heat held him back. He’s confident he’ll meet his goal this time around. And he’s in it for the long run in another sense: “As long as I can ride and raise money, 24 HOB will be an annual event.”

CORPORATE CRIME AVENGERS
Polluters forced to wallow in sludge, drug-makers take their own medicine in thriller BY ED J O H N S O N -O TT EJOH N S O N O T T @ N U V O . N E T
T
he East is a thriller about a female agent infiltrating a group of eco-activists/ecoterrorists — depending on your point of view — that operates much like a cult and has a severe “eye for an eye” philosophy toward corporate offenders. While the spy story propels the independent film, the focus is on the ramifications of the group’s actions and the emotional journey of the agent. The film is the second collaboration between writer/director Zal Batmanglij and producer/writer/actor Brit Marling. The first was 2011’s The Sound of My Voice, which starred Marling as a cult leader who claimed she had returned to contemporary times from the future. Two reporters secretly infiltrated the secretive group in the quietly eerie low-budget feature. This time around Batmanglij and Marling have more money and Marling gets to play the intruder instead of the group leader. Sarah is a former FBI agent now working for a company that protects corporations from outside threats. Her new boss, played in hard fashion by Patricia Clarkson, assigns her to infiltrate the East, a new radical group striking out at corporate bad guys in customized crime “jams.” She eventually finds and gradually ingratiates herself with the group, a shaggy collection of zealots including Doc (Toby Kebbell) and true believer Izzy (Ellen Page). Their leader is Benji (Alexander Skarsgard), who starts off looking like a standard hippie Jesus type but, after receiving a shave and a haircut for a jam, turns out to look like – gasp – a handsome leading man. The group dynamics are fascinating, as

is Sarah’s evolving relationship with the group in general and Benji in particular. The first half of the story is the more interesting, especially watching the two jams — forcing big business polluters to wallow in their own sludge and feeding corporate drug makers a dose of their own bad medicine. The filmmakers take no moral stand on the activities — you must decide whether the actions are outrageous or deserved. And so must Sarah, as she grows closer to Benji and the others. She sees the idealism and outrage behind the extremism, which
causes her to take a second look at the amorality of the company for which she works. Batmanglij and Marling are gifted collaborators, adept at creating ominous atmospheres out of ordinary settings and showcasing the personal side of characters who would be otherwise dismissed as goofballs. For Pete’s sake, the movie includes a scene where the group eats dinner wearing straitjackets and feeding each other with wooden spoons clenched in their teeth and still manages to keep them relatable. Alas, they’re not as good with endings. After watching a series of dynamic, if far-fetched, set pieces, it’s hard to see the story conclude in a fashion that suggests it was decided by a committee. Still, the acting is rock solid — Marling has a strong quietly-assured presence and Ellen Page is especially good.
CONTINUING Man of Steel t Zack Snyder’s approach to Superman is “bombastic is better.” Or at least he appears convinced that bombast is required for a summer blockbuster. The visuals are big, the Hans Zimmer score is big and, boy oh boy, are the fight scenes big, and destructive, and ultimately repetitive and annoying. I don’t know about you, but movie heroes and villains destroying cities isn’t as fun as it used to be. Henry Cavil is fine as Superman/Clark Kent/Kal-El, though wouldn’t it have been nice to give the poor sumbitch a few moments of joy? When the movie addresses his alienation and his relationships with his Earth dad (an effective Kevin Costner) and the holographic spectre of his Kryptonian papa (Russell Crowe, deadly serious with and employing a British accent), it’s entertaining. His encounters with his Earth mom (Diane Lane) and scrappy Lois Lane (Amy Adams, making a lot out of the little she’s given) are intimate and almost threaten to break the film’s angsty tone. But the whole storyline involving General Zod (Michael Shannon, grim as death), which should be thrilling and fun, gets more leaden as it goes on … and on. Man of Steel is entertaining, but lacks the brightness one associates with Superman. (PG-13) — Ed Johnson-Ott
This Is the End r A comedy about the apocalypse that’s snarky, juvenile, self-serving, surprisingly sweet without betraying its feisty nature — and stuffed with jokes: for every one that falls flat there’s a winner coming a second later. Cast members — Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Jonah Hill, James Franco, Craig Robinson, etc. — play exaggerated versions of themselves (sometimes insanely exaggerated, as in the case of mild Michael Cera, hilariously portrayed as a coke-snorting sexual wild man). (R) — Ed Johnson-Ott Before Midnight e Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy) met in 1995’s Before Sunrise, and rekindled their romance in 2004’s Before Sunset. This installment of the collaboration between director Richard Linklater and the two actors (who are co-credited as writers with Linklater) finds the couple nearing the end of a six week vacation in Greece. They have kids and conflicts, presented with gloriously long takes that allow conversations and/or arguments to fully play out. Some scenes are hard to watch – not because of any structural, performance or pacing problems, but because they feel so real. (R) —Ed Johnson-Ott

Baker Street Brown” took third and Eric Johnson’s Chocolate Milk Stout fourth. Wallbank will brew his recipe with Upland Brewmaster Caleb Staton for entry into the 2013 Great American Beer Festival Pro-Am competition. Staton has been partnering with homebrewers since Ron Smith’s 2005 won the final Indiana Ultimate Beer Geek Challenge (sponsored by World Class Beverages) with his Castle Rock Red. Brewers on the move, on the palate Scott Ellis is leaving Thr3e Wise Men to become assistant brewer at Oaken Barrel, as part of head brewer Alan Simon’s team and alongside with Sarah Turner. Oaken Barrel’s assistant brewer Aaron Koerner is moving to Estacada, Ore. to join Fearless Brewing Co. And homebrewer Rob Hooten is joining brewmaster Jerry Sutherlin at Rock Bottom downtown as assistant brewer. To celebrate Hooten’s official entry into professional brewing we savored another round of the collaborative Old 59, brewed by Sutherlin, Omar Castrellon at Thr3e Wisemen and Liz Laughlin at RB College Park. Sutherlin observed this is a classic case of allowing a recipe to age to fullest potential. Old 59 warms to a spectrum of tastes from caramel to dried cherries making it a perfect dessert with vanilla ice cream or on its own. Barrel aging equally pushed The RAM’s original Jan. 24 release Apocalypto Barleywine into the “savor and say WOW” category. Its richly nuanced fruit flavors touch all taste bases from sip to swallow. NUVO stopped in at the newly refurbished Aristocrat for its rejuvenated Tuesday open mic organized by bartender/impresario/song stylist Patrick Murphy.

Cultured Swirl’s organic frozen yogurt is certified organic, non-GMO — and available in pomberry, pineapple and salted caramel
BY K A TY CA RTER EDITORS@NUVO.NET
ndy and Gina Purcell have always loved frozen yogurt. When traveling, they make a point to seek out yogurt shops around the country — not the chains, but the local mom-and-pop shops. The ones putting an emphasis on a quality product with a great atmosphere. That are warm and playful inside, offering something beyond the run-of-the-mill. Which is exactly how you might describe Cultured Swirl — the organic frozen yogurt shop the Purcells opened in April on the Cultural Trail in Fountain Square. Two rope swings suspended indoors are your first clue. And while the wall-dispenser style of yogurt-retrieval and open-top jars of toppings are the fro-yo status quo, one taste from a sample cup sets the yogurt apart. The Purcells live on the east side — Gina grew up in the Garfield Park area — so they spend a good bit of time in Fountain Square, which seemed a perfect fit for their business. But while location and atmosphere were important, the top priority for Andy when creating the store was the actual yogurt, which is certified organic and contains live probiotic cultures. “I was mainly concerned with the flavor of the yogurt without the toppings, and the texture of the yogurt,” he says. “We wanted a product that, if you left it sitting out, it would actually turn back into a cream.” Which is more unusual than you might think, Andy explains. “An organic yogurt has no additives, so when it breaks down, it turns back into its original state. It melts right back down to its basic form which is the milk and the raw sugars.” The Purcells, along with marketing manager Allison Barber, searched for a distributor offering a “base” organic yogurt with live cultures. “When people come in, we suggest that they sample all the flavors first to get [what] they want — but when they taste it, a lot of them forego the toppings because the yogurt is so good,” says Andy. Allison adds that the yogurt has no artificial flavors or colorings, and is non-GMO. Cultured Swirl adds organic flavorings to the yogurt in-store. The flavors are divided into what they refer to as the sweeter, cream-based flavors such as the standard chocolate and vanilla, plus the wildlypopular salted caramel — and tart flavors, such as pomberry and pineapple. Their plan is to rotate a couple specialty flavors monthly, having a flavor-launch party that coincides with Fountain Square’s First Friday celebrations. The customer base they’ve built can be exceptionally loyal — when they conducted customer-satisfaction surveys after being

open for 38 days, some customers reported having been in the store over 30 times. Cultured Swirl charges by the ounce — 55 cents per ounce (including whatever toppings you might choose, which range from local and/or organic fruits and berries to chocolate chips and Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal). This price is a little higher than other yogurt shops — the difference adds up to less than a dollar more for a full cup of yogurt — but the Purcells consider the purity and flavor of their product to be a premium worth the extra change. For frequent customers, Cultured Swirl has the “Uncultured Club”: buy 10 cups and get your next one free. Special discounts are announced to followers via Twitter (@CulturedSwirl) and Facebook (fb.com/CulturedSwirl).

The flavors are always well-balanced; the curries, properly hot but sumptuous; and the Thom Yum lemongrass soup is tangy, scintillating fare. For a searing midday meal, try the Siam ginger plate lunch special, served with a spring roll to help douse the flames. For dessert, spoil your taste buds with an order of roti rolls — pan-fried flatbread smothered in sticky icing. 936 Virginia Ave., 317-6368424, siamsquareindy.com Thai Orchid Thai Orchid offers a solid Thai experience in Castleton, complete with obliging service and an impressive interior of bright colors and tablecloths. Select your level of heat intensity on a scale of six with the curry lunch specials. For dinner, warm up with the Silver Noodle Soup and then try the Pad Makhau with shrimp in a smolderingly hot Thai sauce. Wash down the intensity with a helping of the Hawaiian fried rice ($12.99). 8145 Bash St., 317-578-8155, thaiorchidindy.com Thai Papaya The Tom yum noodle soup is excellent, steaming with fresh flavors like cilantro and lemongrass. Conversely, Massaman curry features a rich sauce pregnant with sweetness and spice-
like cloves. This menu runs the gamut of Thai dishes elegantly. For starters, try the tod mun pla ($5.95), deep-fried fish patties mixed with red curry and served with cucumber salad. For dessert, check out the interesting selections of sticky rice with mango ($4.50), fried banana ($3), or tapioca pudding ($3). 3905 W. 96th St., 317-3341482, thatpapayarestaurant.com Thai Castle A dependable, friendly Carmel spot owned and operated by husband and wife Nikone and Ratchanee Unknown (the unusual last name can be traced back to when Nikone first arrived in the U.S.; there was some confusion at immigration over the last name and, well, you just read the result). The curries are satisfying, the pad thai is good if not remarkable, the glass noodles with tofu soup is bright with a nice mouth feel — and the fried bananas with ice cream offers a perfectly prepared denouement. 19 E. 126th St., 317-575-8421, carmelthaicastle.com Thai Spice Whether or not Greenwood’s Thai Spice offers the most authentic Thai cuisine in the area, it certainly serves some of the most authentically spicy food of any sort around. Consider your tongue warned. Of course, dishes can be altered per spice preference, though the goong ob, baked in a little clay pot with glass noodles, fat shrimp and
visible dried hot peppers, can take medium-hot to a new level. The chuchee catfish, made with coconut milk, lime and chuchee (curry) sauce, is a good bet (chuchee shrimp is also available). 2220 E. County Line Road, 317881-2243, thaispiceindy.com Thai Taste We’ll always remember the first surprising bite of Thai Taste’s Tom Ka soup. At once light and rich, it has the crunch of whole pieces of lemongrass with chunks of tender chicken, mushrooms and a hint of cilantro.

It shows in dishes that are light but complex, full of crisp vegetables and tasting not of cloying sauces but of the innate flavors of the constituent ingredients. Thai entrées, particularly curries, definitely emphasize the “spice” in the restaurant’s name. They’re clearly made to order with discernible vegetables like snappy green beans, crunchy baby corn and sweet peppers. 4030 S. Emerson Road, 317-786-8173

WHAT’S FRESH
STRAWBERRIES
Indiana is one of the 10 highest producing agricultural states in the country. Get to know what we grow in a new series by Mark Cline. As farms and backyard gardens across the state are seeing their first yields of the season, a familiar find are the bright reds and sweet aromas of flowering strawberry plants. With the colder spring Indiana experienced this year, strawberries are just now hitting prime picking season and should be around for most of June. We found a couple of experts to expound on the virtues and varieties of Hoosierland strawberries. First, we’ve been lied to: strawberries aren’t actually berries. So says Bruce Bordelon, a Professor of Horticulture at Purdue University, ”Berries are any fruit that has seeds enclosed in its flesh or pulp. Botanically speaking, strawberries are classified as an accessory fruit, with its seeds located in the achenes on the outside of the flesh.” Bordelon estimates that 25-30 different variations are grown throughout the state. “You’ve got your standard varieties like
the Earliglow and Allstar, but growers have found other types that are better suited for their soil and growing conditions.” Carol and Bruce Waterman have been growing and selling the same AllStar variety for the last 35-years. The couple own and operate Waterman’s Family Farm on the southeast side of Indy where customers walk the fields and handpick their own strawberries. Carol’s best advice for neophytes, “You want berries that are red from tip to hull. The berry should be red all over because once you’ve picked it off the plant the berry stops maturing.” A few other aphorisms to help you with the perfect pick: • Size doesn’t matter and timing is everything. • Bigger berries don’t mean better flavor. • Focus on picking unblemished and completely red strawberries. • Rain or overcast skies during the ripening period usually result in watereddown, less-flavorful fruit.

Waterman’s Ramond St. location offers strawberry picking.
• A few days of sunshine helps bring out the best flavor. For those who may want to grow their own, Bordelon said, ”Early spring is best for getting them in the ground, and know that your plants won’t produce fruit during the first year. But after the initial wait, most plants produce for four to five years. Strawberries, like a lot of water, but they don’t like to stand in water, so it’s crucial to have soil that drains well,” Carol Waterman added.

VOGUE CELEBRATES 75 YEARS On Saturday, leave the black and white world behind and follow the yellow brick road to The Vogue. Throw on a checkered dress, a fancy top hat, some whiskers (or grab your broom) and lock arms to skip down College Ave. to help the nightclub ring in its 75 th birthday with a costume party celebrating one of the most iconic films of all time, The Wizard of Oz . The Vogue opened as a movie theater on June 18,1938, and gained popularity as the first air-conditioned movie theater in Indy. Carl Niesse decided to open a movie theater in Broad Ripple, then considered the outskirts of town. The popularity of the theater slowly diminished as multiscreen theaters began popping up. But a new use was found, so at the end of 1977 the theater underwent some remodeling and became The Vogue Nightclub. The club often offers live music hosting national and local acts throughout the week. On Tuesday, it hosted a birthday show with performances from Portugal. The Man and Maps and Atlases. Upcoming notable shows include Kurt Vile and The Cold War Kids. But we’re looking forward to the July 26’s homage to The Band’s The Last Waltz. And after the shows, there’s usually a line out the door as patrons wait on the College Ave. sidewalk to get in and dance. They’ve recently added a new dance night called Glow Wednesdays, a blacklight party that those dressed in neon –– or college students and service industry workers –– can get in free. On Saturday, you’re invited to come dressed up as characters from the Oz flick of your choosing to clap your ruby slippers together on the dance floor. Prizes will be given out to the best dressed costumes throughout the night. Doors open at 10 p.m. and drinks are on special all nice. Just make sure you have a way home. –– RYAN HOWE

on’t get it twisted: John C. Reilly’s folk group is no vanity project. His musical career goes deep. After launching his acting career in the Chicago musical theater community, Reilly blew the Academy away with his performance of “Mister Cellophane” as part of the cast of 2002’s Chicago. Sure, he might be best known for his comedic chops (think Stepbrothers and Walk Hard) but Reilly’s serious about keeping the traditional songs in his setlist alive. And he’s aligned with other serious musician –– like Jack White, who helped Reilly and band members produce a pair of original singles in his Nashville studio in 2011. Onstage, he’s joined by singers Becky Stark (Lavender Diamond) and Tom Brosseau, who, along with Reilly, create setlists of spirituals, classic folk and country tunes marked by close harmonies. Reilly’s hosted his roots revue multiple times in Los Angelos, and now he’s taking his eight-piece show on the road. And the missing “C”? That’s intentional. NUVO: I am a pirate song enthusiast. JOHN C. REILLY: Ah-ha! NUVO: So I heard your contribution to Rogue’s Gallery [a compilation of sea shanties released in 2006] a while back. Did you pick the songs you contributed and performed (“Fathom the Bowl,” “My Son John”) or if you were assigned to them? Did you have a long scroll with “John’s Favorite Sea Shanties” scrolled across the top that you pulled out to choose from? REILLY: I actually did know a lot of shanties already. I think that’s maybe why Hal [Willner, who did the record] asked me to come down and do that. “Fathom the Bowl,” I had actually not heard before. He sent me a disc of a whole bunch of stuff, and some of it I knew and when I heard that one I thought, “This is the greatest ode to drinking I think I’ve ever heard.” So that one was a new one for me, but I was well-primed for loving shanties. NUVO: What draws you to folk music? REILLY: The first thing I think of is [how] it feels immortal. Maybe the older I get, the more interested I am in immortality. There’s something really cool that you hear one time and it sticks in your head. I had a blues band for a while and I was going

deeper and deeper into blues. Then I found myself in Appalachia, and suddenly I was right back where I was as a kid, listening to traditional Irish music. The first thing I would guess I’m drawn to is the eternal sound of some of those songs. I like the simplicity, the purity of the lyrics. They’re like little short stories. NUVO: I’ve found that some of the most genre in-fighting that I’ve observed in the music community comes from the roots music community – what is “real” bluegrass; what is “real” folk music? There’s such strict lines drawn. REILLY: We’re just looking for music that moves us; music that is in line with this traditional or “roots” umbrella. That said, we do try to do bluegrass music as strictly “bluegrass” as we can. And when we do an old folk song, we try not to jazz them up. We try to stay pure within what the song wants to be. But in terms of defining ourselves as a bluegrass band, or a country band –– we’re really not interested in that. If anything, the collection of personalities in the band really lends itself to variety. It’s Becky Stark who has this voice of just a beautiful bird. Then Tom Brosseau and Willie Watson –– the one thing we all have in common is that we’re all soulful people. We’re drawn to things that are soulful or have a depth to them. I’ve never been someone as an artist who’s been very keen on defining what I am. Or even as a person! Fact is, I think that’s why I became an actor. I thought, I don’t really have a lot
of self-awareness at all. I just know what I like, and I try to do the best that I can and [the rest] is for more intellectual people to analyze if they want. NUVO: How did you get hooked up with Jack White? REILLY: Jack and I met socially years and years ago when I heard he was doing a cover of “Mr. Cellophane” in concert. I was really tickled and honored by that. So I went and saw some of their shows and we became friends socially. And then I asked him to do Walk Hard [as Elvis] and miraculously he said yes. We’ve stayed in touch. He’s just a really generous, amazingly prolific guy. He said to us, “Hey! I have this recording studio, this record pressing plant, I’ve got a guest room –– do you want to come down and do whatever you want on a record?” And I thought, well, I’ve been singing with this guy Tom and this girl Becky – do you think we could come down and do that? And he said, “Absolutely! I’ll produce it.” He plays drums on one of the songs. It was a big honor. NUVO: You have the interesting problem that not many people have –– constantly saying, “I’m not just an actor, I also do this whole separate thing!” Most people know you as an actor, or even a musical actor, but not a musician. Do you think most people realized you were also a musician with “Mr. Cellophane” [In Chicago, for which Reilly was nominated for Best Supporting Actor]? REILLY: People are always surprised when you do something that they didn’t know you could do. They’re always surprised –– but that’s my business plan right there, Kat. Doing things people don’t expect me to do, because then you surprise them and they’re interested in what you’re doing. A SEE REILLY, ON PAGE

lot of people came up to me after Chi Chicago and said, “I didn’t know you could sing!” Of course if you were around the Southside of Chicago in the late ‘70s, early ‘80s and you were a fan of community theater, then you would know! In terms of being defined about who you are, or what people will accept you as, I think that everyone has stuff in them that they should get out. Whether you’re a professional artist or not. If you’ve got a painting in you, you should do it. If you want to sing a song, you should do it. The world would be a better place if everyone shared their talents in that way. Life is short. You should do everything that you can while you’re alive. And I’ve been really lucky. At first it was a little bit uncomfortable. People were yelling things from Stepbrothers or whatever. Which is fine –– I love Stepbrothers as much as the next guy. But then they kind of settled down and realized what we were doing, this labor of love, bringing these old songs to people. There’s a real power to these songs. Once people kind of settled down and opened their hearts to what we were doing, they’ve been really cool about accepting me doing something different than what you might have known me for before they came to the show. NUVO: Why did you decide to drop the [middle initial] C from your band’s name?

REILLY: Oh, [the middle intial] was something that was forced on me to begin with [through the Screen Actors’ Guild regulations]. I thought, “Here’s the chance to call myself whatever I want!” It was also a way, I suppose, to subtly define this as something different than the acting thing. I don’t know –– I’m very, pretty much, a modest, Midwestern kind of person. I always found it a little embarrassing to “put your name out there,” like, “Live! In Person! John C. Reilly!” It’s one thing to be playing a character and have a play or whatever, but it just seemed like a more accurate name for how I feel about it. I … I don’t know! I haven’t figured this out! I just have to do things. I want this to be a little simpler. NUVO: Continuing with the simplicity of your name: from the “Friends” part of John Reilly and Friends, I assume they really are your friends. REILLY: Yes! NUVO: How did you assemble this friend group? REILLY: We just became friends! And we started singing together, and I realized that I had all these disparate pairings, and I thought, “Well, what if I just bring everyone together and we’ll all be friends?” And it worked out. I knew Becky first, and I went to see her in a band she had called The Living Sisters. And Tom was opening her one night, so I

got to check out Tom. We started out playing together at this club called Largo; that’s where we all coalesced as a group. NUVO: What’s the difference for you between performing on stage in a musical theater production and performing with at a concert? REILLY: In a concert, there’s a lot more improvising and interaction with the audience. I can really recognize the moment and what’s going on in the moment and talk about it and engage with the audience.
That feels really good and alive. There’s a lot more listening in the moment [during a concert]. I mean, you try and listen during a play, but it gets to be more of a challenge when you’re doing your fiftieth performance with the exact same set of words. There’s more variety with music; we switch the setlist up every night that we can. And singing harmony with people, you have to really listen very carefully when you’re singing together. The difference is that you feel more free. More independent.

ast Saturday, immigration reform advocates marched on Monument Circle asking Congress to approve an upcoming bill that would provide a pathway to citizenship for the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants residing in the Unites States. Reflecting on the contributions undocumented immigrants make daily in our country, it’s clear we can no longer afford to ask if immigration reform is possible, but rather how soon can it happen? Recent waves of Latino immigrants have exerted a particularly strong influence, revitalizing desolate neighborhoods through entrepreneurial investment. They’ve uplifted communities with their rich cultural tradition. The music of Louisville’s Appalatin provides a remarkably unique example of that Latino cultural influence at work right here in the heartland of the United States. With members representing Ecuador, Nicaragua, Mexico, Guatemala and Kentucky, Appalatin have reinvented traditional Appalachian music by infusing Latin rhythm and song into the rural folk form. It’s a surprisingly seductive blend of bluegrass bolero and countrified cumbia. I recently spoke with the band’s two Kentucky natives, string player Yani Vozos and percussionist Steve Sizemore.
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.

NUVO: How did Appalatin form?
SUBMITTED PHOTO
Appalatin
YANI VOZOS: Steve and I had been playing music together in 2006. Around that time we met Marlon Obando who invited us to sit in on a gig he had at the Jazz Factory in Louisville. So we got together at Marlon’s house for a rehearsal and we weren’t quite sure what was going to happen. We all like Latin music. So we started playing together –– it was a Cuban song we were playing on. We played the gig and didn’t take it very seriously. We didn’t say we’re going to make a band out of it, but it happened. People who heard us kept calling us asking for more shows.
VOZOS: After college, I joined the Peace Corps and was placed in Honduras. In preparation for the move I made a lot of tapes of Latin music. Right about that time I heard the Buena Vista Social Club and was completely fascinated with their music. In the process of learning Spanish in Honduras I would reference their songs and lyrics to learn words. That’s where it started for me, using music to learn the language and immerse myself in the culture. It’s beautiful, passionate and emotional music. That’s something I don’t think anyone can resist.
NUVO: Was the Latin-Appalachian fusion already in place at these early shows?
NUVO: What sorts of instruments will we see in your live set?
STEVE SIZEMORE: It was never intentional in the beginning. I would say we’ve explored that more deeply in the last couple years. When you get a bunch of different musicians together, they kind of form their own language. It becomes a kind of pidgin or creole and we put our Kentucky twang on that.
VOZOS: Everything from guitars and upright bass to charango, which is an Andean instrument that’s a hybrid of the ukelele and mandolin. Fernando plays the whole gamut of Andean flutes, which are all handcrafted by him. He’s a master musician. Steve plays a long list of percussion like guiro, congas, cajon and the Brazilian bass drum surdo. Our shows are almost like a Smithsonian Institute exhibition of musical instruments.
VOZOS: I remember a specific moment when it came together. At first we were just playing a lot of Latin music. When Fernando Moya joined the band he brought in a tune that mixed “Shady Grove,” which is a traditional Appalachian style tune with a traditional Andean folk tune. When I heard that I was like “Wow, we’ve got something here that we can run with.” NUVO: Growing up in Kentucky, how did you two get into Latin music? SIZEMORE: I started listening to jazz when I was thirteen. Through my interest in jazz I started listening to Latin jazz. Around that time I discovered Buena Vista Social Club and fell in love. Everything kind of branched out from there. Then I moved down to Argentina which completely entrenched the music in me. 30 MUSIC // 06.19.13 - 06.26.13 // 100% RECYCLED P APER // NUVO

NUVO: You just released your second album? VOZOS: Yes, it’s called Waterside. The album has a theme, which happened unintentionally. It’s a theme of water –– the spiritual, healing power of water. Several of us came with songs we’d written and as we started working through them as a group we realized they were connected by themes or statements about water or rain. Every song touched on it.

own how much is actually going on. He views the music he makes as something of an idealized extension of himself. “I think it comes through more relaxed in the music than in my actual human personality. But it’s probably how I would like to be. It’s like a projection of who I wish I was.” On his latest record, Last, he had to go back in and re-record several drum tracks because they were “too noisy for how loud the songs wanted to be.” This lead him to experiment with new sounds. For example, he used a pair of UGG boots stomping on a suitcase as a bass drum. When I asked him about that, he laughed. “I thought your question was going to be, ‘Do you see yourself as a person who wears UGG boots?’”

WEDNESDAY FOLK Sonny and the Sunsets, Little Wings Kyle Field, the lone constant member of the California folk group Little Wings, is a pretty soft-spoken interview. When I talked to him, he was comfort-
able letting silence wedge in as he considered what he wanted to say. This soft-spokenness also comes through in his music, which is often loosely structured and lightly played. His tight-lipped voice just barely floating above it all. His music exudes a certain informality, like he just stumbled on to the song he’s playing and is totally content to pick through it –– until you realize on your
ROCK Peter Frampton, Robert Cray, Steve Cropper While Peter Frampton may lean on his Frampton Comes Alive album when his Frampton’s Guitar Circus hits White River State Park, the pairing with blues guitarist and singer Robert Cray that night makes this one worth checking out. And it will be Cray who can also pull songs for his set from a nearly 30-year career. “It’s really funny,” Cray says, talking to NUVO from his California home before the tour began. “I never really thought about growing old and having the opportunity to meet fans who are children of my fans. It makes me feel old and it makes me feel great.”
Cray used the momentum from his Top 40 hit “Smoking Gun” from 1986’s Strong Persuader to craft an enviable career. He did it with guitar and soul, with echoes of his influences Albert King and Muddy Waters. And like his heroes, he built a career slowly. “I remember when we heard “Phone Booth” (from his 1983 album Bad Influence) on the radio,” Cray said. “We pulled over in the car to listen. “Then we got to the show in Chicago and there were two people in the audience,” he said, laughing. “But we had some places on the West Coast that were hotbeds: Northern California; Washington State; and the Bay Area.” Still touring hard at age 59, Cray released his 16th album in 2012 (a strong set called Nothin’ But Love). As arguably the best blues guy on the road, Cray’s always been able to surprise live audiences with his power and grace on guitar, and a seemingly unchangedby-age voice. “Everybody wants to get their record heard,” Cray said. “But success these days means more work, which we love. We are able to get some airplay and people know what we are about. To have opportunities to do this with Peter is great.” When Cray and Frampton –– who invited Stax guitarist Steve Cropper as a special guest –– show up in Indy, Cray knows just how lucky they are to have 6,000 people a night watch them play guitars. “For a band that started plying R&B In the early ‘70s, it’s pretty good,” Cray said. “We’ve done a lot more than we ever expected.”

TUESDAY ROCK Eleanor Friedberger, Teen Psychedelic pop is making its way back into the hearts of noise lovers and Brooklyn-based TEEN is ahead of the curve. They dropped debut LP In Limbo last year, and keep kickin’ with the release of Carolina. The all-girl group makes music soaked in dark overtones and dripping with sincere reverb-laden vocals and warped dissonance. Heavier tunes like the title track “Carolina” weave serene voices over bass crunch and playful keyboards. Working in organic catchy riffs and intricate vocal layers, TEEN is in production limbo: not quite hi-fi, not quite lo-fi, always rich in texture. Radio Radio, 1119 E.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD
VERY PERSONAL HYGIENE Orestes De La Paz’s exhibit at the Frost Art Museum in Miami in May recalled Chuck Palahniuk’s novel and film “Fight Club,” in which lead character Tyler Durden’s principal income source was making upscale soap using discarded liposuctioned fat fetched from the garbage of cosmetic surgeons (thus closing the loop of fat from rich ladies recycled back to rich ladies). De La Paz told his mentor at Florida International University that he wanted only to display his own liposuctioned fat provocatively, but decided to make soap when he realized that the fat would otherwise quickly rot. Some visitors to the exhibit were able to wash their hands with the engineered soap, which De La Paz offered for sale at $1,000 a bar.
The Entrepreneurial Spirit • As recently as mid-May, people with disabilities had been earning hefty black-market fees by taking strangers into Disneyland and Disney World using the parks’ own liberal “disability” passes (which allow for up to five relatives or guests at a time to accompany the disabled person in skipping the sometimes-hours-long lines and having immediate access to the rides). The pass-holding “guide,” according to NBC’s Today show, could charge as much as $200 through advertising on CraigsList and via word-of-mouth to some travel agents. Following reports in the New York Post and other outlets, Disney was said in late May to be warning disabled permit-holders not to abuse the privilege. • After setting out to create a protective garment for mixed martial arts fighters, Jeremiah Raber of High Ridge, Mo., real-

ized that his “groin protection device” could also help police, athletes and military contractors. Armored Nutshellz underwear, now selling for $125 each, has multiple layers of Kevlar plus another fabric called Dyneema, which Raber said can “resist” multiple shots from 9 mm and .22-caliber handguns. He said the Army will be testing Nutshellz in August, hoping it can reduce the number of servicemen who come home with devastating groin injuries. • “Ambulance-chasing” lawyers are less the cliche than they formerly were because of bar association crackdowns, but fire truck-chasing contractors and “public adjusters” are still a problem -- at least in Florida, where the state Supreme Court tossed out a “48-hour” time- out rule that would have given casualty victims space to reflect on their losses before being overwhelmed by home-restoration salesmen. Consequently, as firefighters told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel in May, the contractors are usually “right behind” them on the scene, pestering anxious or griefstricken victims. The Sun-Sentinel found one woman being begged to sign up while she was still crying out for her dog that remained trapped in the blaze.
Unconventional Treatments • Researchers writing recently in the journal PLoS ONE disclosed that they had found certain types of dirt that contain antimicrobial agents capable of killing E. coli and the antibiotic-resistant MRSA. According to the article, medical “texts” back to 3000 B.C. mentioned clays that, when rubbed on wounds, reduce inflammation and pain.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Starting this month, we will be ceasing publication of News of the Weird. Yup, we will miss it too, but as we focus more and more on dedicating our pages to local stories written by local writers and illustrated and photographed by local artists, we just couldn’t keep spending these pages on non-local features. Plus, you can still find your News of the Weird here: newsoftheweird.com. • Researchers writing in May in the journal Pediatrics found that some infants whose parents regularly sucked their babies’ pacifiers to clean them (rather than rinsing or boiling them) developed fewer allergies and cases of asthma. (On the other hand, parental-cleansing might make other maladies more likely, such as tooth decay.)
Leading Economic Indicators • Until recently, apparently, gene mutations were considered merely freaks of nature, but that was before Myriad Genetics obtained binding U.S. patents for mutations it discovered -- now known as BRCA-1 and BRCA-2. Those mutations were in the news in May when actor Angelina Jolie announced that she had chosen to have a double mastectomy based on the presence of the cancercausing mutations, which she had learned of through a Myriad Genetics test costing about $4,000. There is no price competition for the test, due to the patent, and Jolie, along with oncologists and OB-GYN doctors, fret that the test is too expensive for tens of millions of women around the world whose lives could be saved by knowing their status. • Archeologists discovered in May that a construction company had bulldozed 2,300-year-old Mayan ruins in northern Belize -- simply to mine the rocks for road fill to build a highway. A researcher said it could hardly have been an accident, for the ruins were 100 feet high in an otherwise flat landscape, and a Tulane University anthropologist estimated that Mayan ruins are being mined for road fill an average of once a day in their ancient habitats. Said
another, “(T)o realize” that Mayans created these structures using only stone tools and then “carried these materials on their heads” to build them -- and then that bulldozers can almost instantly destroy them -- is “mind-boggling.”
Fine Points of Law • A woman in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood reported to a local news blog in May that she had seen (and her husband briefly conversed with) a man who was operating a “drone” from a sidewalk, guiding the noisy device to a point just outside a third-floor window in a private home. The pilot said he was “doing research” and, perhaps protected by a 1946 U.S. Supreme Court decision, asserted that he was not violating anyone’s privacy because he, himself, was on a public sidewalk while the drone was in public airspace. The couple called for a police officer, but by the time one arrived, the pilot and his drone had departed, according to a report on the Capitol Hill Seattle blog.
Perspective • Army Major Nidal Hasan went on trial in June for killing 13 and wounding another 32 in the notorious November 2009 shooting spree at Fort Hood, Texas, but his 43 months in lockup since then have been lucrative. WFAA-TV (Dallas-Fort Worth) reported in May that Maj. Hasan has earned $278,000 (and counting) in salary and benefits because his pay cannot be stopped until he is convicted. By contrast, some of the 32 surviving victims complain of difficulty wrenching money out of the Army for worker compensation and disability treatment -- because the Army has refused to classify the spree-shooting as a combat-similar “terrorist attack” (in favor of terming it the politically correct “workplace violence”).

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY © 2013 BY ROB BRESZNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Maybe you’ve seen that meme circulating on the Internet: “My desire to be well-informed is at odds with my desire to remain sane.” If you feel that way now -- and I suspect you might soon if you don’t already -- you have cosmic permission, at least for a while, to emphasize sanity over being well-informed. Lose track of what Kim Jong-un and Kim Kardashian are up to, ignore the statements of every jerk on the planet, and maybe even go AWOL from the flood of data that relentlessly pours toward you. Instead, pay attention to every little thing your body has to tell you. Remember and marvel at your nightly dreams. Go slow. Lay low. Be soft. Have fun with unspectacular influences that make you feel at home in the world. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I expect you will be called on to move fluidly between opposing camps or competing interests or different realities. Maybe you’ll volunteer to serve as an arbiter between the crabby good guys and the righteous bad guys. Perhaps you’ll try to decode one friend’s quirky behavior so that another friend can understand it. You might have to interpret my horoscopes for people who think astrology is bunk. You may even have to be a mediator between your own heart and head, or explain the motivations of your past self to your future self. You can’t be perfect, of course. There will be details lost in translation. But if you’re as patient as a saint and as tricky as a crow, you’ll succeed. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Pablo Casals was one of the greatest cello players who ever lived. Among his early inspirations was the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Casals discovered Bach’s six cello suites when he was 13 years old, and played them every day for the next 13 years. Have you ever done something similar, Gemini? Devoted yourself to a pleasurable discipline on a regular basis for a long time? I invite you to try it. The coming months will be an excellent time to seek mastery through a diligent attention to the details. CANCER (June 21-July 22): “I know that I am not a category,” said philosopher Buckminster Fuller. “I am not a thing -- a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process.” Philosopher Norman O. Brown had a similar experience. “The human body is not a thing or substance, but a continuous creation,” he mused. “It is an energy system which is never a complete structure; never static; is in perpetual inner self-construction and self-destruction.” Now is an excellent time to imagine yourself in these terms, Cancerian. You’re not a finished product, and never will be! Celebrate your fluidity, your changeableness, your instinctual urge to reinvent yourself. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Renowned 20th-century theologian Karl Barth worked on his book Church Dogmatics for 36 years. It was more than 9,000 pages long and contained over six million words. And yet it was incomplete. He had more to say, and wanted to keep going. What’s your biggest undone project, Leo? The coming months will be a good time to concentrate on bringing it to a climax. Ideally, you will do so with a flourish, embracing the challenge of creating an artful ending with the same liveliness you had at the beginning of the process. But even if you have to culminate your work in a plodding, prosaic way, do it! Your next big project will be revealed within weeks after you’ve tied up the last loose end. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Susannah Cibber was a popular 18th-century English contralto whose singing was expressive and moving. On one occasion, she performed Handel’s Messiah with such verve that an influential priest responded by making an extravagant guarantee. He told her that as a result of her glorious singing, any sins she had committed or would commit were forever forgiven. I’d like to see you perpetrate an equivalent amazement, Virgo: a good or beautiful or soulful deed that wins you a flood of enduring slack. The cosmic omens suggest that such an achievement is quite possible.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Johnny Appleseed was a 19thcentury folk hero renowned for planting apple trees in vast areas of rural America. During the 70 years this famous Libra was alive, he never got married. He believed that if he remained unwed during his time on earth, he would be blessed with two spirit-wives in the after-life. Have you ever done something like that yourself, Libra? Is there an adventure you’ve denied yourself in the here and now because you think that’s the only way you can get some bigger, better adventure at a later date? If so, now would be an excellent time to adjust your attitude. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “It is kind of fun to do the impossible,” said Walt Disney, a pioneer animator whose cartoon innovations were remarkable. Judging from your current astrological omens, I think you Scorpios have every right to adopt his battle cry as your mantra. You’ve got an appointment with the frontier. You’re primed to perform experiments at the edge of your understanding. Great mysteries will be tempting you to come closer and lost secrets will be teasing you with juicy clues. As you explore and tinker with the unknown, you might also want to meditate on the graffiti I saw scrawled on a mirror in a public restroom: “Only those who attempt the absurd can achieve the impossible.” SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Astronauts on lunar expeditions have orbited the moon and seen its entire surface. But the rest of us have never seen more than 59 percent of it. As the moon revolves around the Earth, it always keeps one side turned away from our view. Isn’t that amazing and eerie? The second most important heavenly body, which is such a constant and intimate factor in our lives, is half-hidden. I’d like to propose that there is an analogous phenomenon in your inner world, Sagittarius: a part of you that forever conceals some of its true nature. But I’m pretty sure you will soon be offered an unprecedented chance to explore that mysterious realm. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Anglo-Irish novelist Laurence Sterne married his wife Elizabeth in 1741. Twenty-five years later he fell in love with another woman, Eliza. In composing love letters to his new infatuation, he lifted some of the same romantic passages he had originally written to Elizabeth when he was courting her. Try hard not to do anything remotely resembling that, Capricorn. Give your intimate allies your freshest stuff. Treat them as the unique creatures they are. Resist the temptation to use shticks that worked to create closeness in the past. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s important that you not punish yourself or allow yourself to be punished for the sins that other people have committed. It’s also crucial that you not think nasty thoughts about yourself or put yourself in the presence of anyone who’s prone to thinking nasty thoughts about you. Self-doubt and self-criticism may be healthy for you to entertain about ten days from now, and at that time you will probably benefit from receiving compassionate critique from others, too. But for the moment, please put the emphasis on self-protection and self-nurturing. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): For over three decades, a man in Assam, India has worked to build a forest. When Jadav “Molai” Payeng started planting and tending seeds at the age of 16, the sandbars bordering the Brahmaputra River were barren. Today, almost entirely thanks to him, they’re covered with a 1,360-acre forest that harbors deer, birds, tigers, rhinos, and elephants. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you could launch a comparable project in the next 12 months, Pisces -- a labor of love that will require your persistent ryy for for a long time fo creativity and provide you with sanctuary time.
Homework: It’s a shame so many of us try to motivate ourselves through abusive self-criticism. Are you guilty of this sin? How so? What will you do to change? Write Freewillastrology.com. NUVO // 100% RECYCLED PAPER // 06.19.13 - 06.26.13 // CLASSIFIEDS 39
