In recent years steps were taken to change the requirements pathways for Hoosiers to become teachers. New certifications were created as well as education paths for people considering teaching as a second career. However the requirements for one group of potential educators has not changed in over 30 years — those experienced educators who come to Indiana from other states.

Last week’s Beer issue identified Skip Duvall as a brewer with Chilly Water; he’s not. Dan Krzywicki deserves all the accolades in that regard. Sun King’s current lineup should’ve included Andrew Hood, and “Clay Robinson is no longer brewing. His title is co-founder, owner, VP of marketing. Dustin Boyer is our production manager,” according to the folks at the brewery. John Simmons should also be listed as a past brewer. Cheers!

attempt to get what they wanted. Today we still have Obamacare, and there are hundreds of thousands of employees who lost a half a month’s pay because our country’s most auspicious lawmakers were throwing a tantrum. Indiana’s own 3rd District Rep. Marlin Stutzman of Howe, IN was also in office at the time of the 2013 shutdown, and he was one of the 32 Republicans with whom leveler heads had to negotiate. Stutzman, at the time, was quoted as saying, “We aren’t going to be disrespected. We have to get something out of this. And I don’t know what that even is.” Stutzman contributed to the shut-
down, but he didn’t know what he needed to get out of it in order to vote to end a mandatory unpaid furlough for nearly a million people. There are rather significant rumblings that another government shutdown may be imminent. This was personally confirmed for me when the boyfriend told me that his superiors had begun discussing plans for what to do in case a furlough goes into effect October 1. Why this time? Republicans are now refusing to pass any budget that includes funding to Planned Parenthood. Government funds are never used to pay for abortions unless it is a specific case of abuse, rape or incest. The right just wants to defund a woman’s right to utilize an organization that is all about women’s rights. I encourage all of you to do a Google search on Stutzman. Because you’ll see a headline entitled “Marlin Stutzman = Big Time Dumb Ass”. Those are Democratic Underground’s words, not mine.

STEVE GOLDSMITH, DOWN LIFE’S ROAD
tephen Goldsmith doesn’t look much worse for the wear. The hair at his temples looks a little lighter than it did 20 years ago, but the former two-term Indianapolis mayor and 1996 Republican candidate for governor still looks remarkably boyish. In other ways, though, the years have marked Goldsmith, 68. We’re sitting in a studio, talking about his life and career. Goldsmith is, by turns, relaxed, reflective and self-deprecating. He says he received a valuable lesson when he ran for governor in 1996 – and lost to Democrat Frank O’Bannon. “I learned that if you run a bad campaign against a very nice man, you’re not likely to have success,” he says with a chuckle. Goldsmith works now as a government professor at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government. He also counsels public officials in city and state governments on ways they can make government more responsive and efficient. He says he still enjoys trying to solve public policy problems as much as he did when he was a senior at Broad Ripple High School who ran for student office 50 years ago and received a letter encouraging him to consider public service from a then young Richard Lugar. Goldsmith kept the note long after he became one of Lugar’s successors as Indianapolis mayor. When I ask what provoked his nearobsession with public policy questions, Goldsmith tells a story.

When I ask how if affected him, he says talking with the AFDC mothers deepened his empathy for them, but it also taught him something important about government. Effective government is about finding points of “leverage.” He doesn’t agree with people “who say government is always a panacea” or those “who say government is always the problem.” The challenge – and the satisfaction – comes from finding ways to make government work effectively to make people’s lives better. Every tax dollar misspent, he says, is a dollar that can’t be used to improve someone’s life. I ask him, self-deprecation aside, what he wanted to do as governor. Goldsmith says he wanted to do much of what Mitch Daniels did. He calls Daniels “an incredibly talented man” who was more skilled at “negotiating the intersection between politics and policy” than he was. “I was reasonably good at policy and I was reasonably bad at politics,” Goldsmith says – again chuckling. He says he would do some things differently now. He wouldn’t use “as sharp an edge,” he says, in attempting to push through reforms with Effective government is about the Indianapolis Public Schools and education in general.

WHAT HAPPENED? American Senior Communities CEO fired An Indiana-based senior living communities organization has fired its CEO amid a federal criminal investigation. American Senior Communities (ASC) severed ties with CEO James G. Burkhart. The announcement came three days after the FBI and other officials searched Burkhart’s home in Carmel and the ASC headquarters in Indianapolis. Federal officials have not released any details of their investigation, which could take several months to complete. Officials were seen removing several boxes of materials and computers from Burkhart’s home. In a statement about Burkhart’s termination, ASC officials say the board of managers will assume the chief executive’s functions until a permanent replacement is found. ASC provides senior care services throughout Indiana and Kentucky, maintains 100 senior care facilities in Indiana and provides public services to Marion County senior residents through the Marion County Health Department. Carmel delays anti-discrimination vote It will be another few weeks before the Carmel City Council votes on an ordinance designed to enact civil rights protections for the city’s LGBTQ community. Council president Rick Sharp tried to call the measure for a vote Monday evening, however other council members blocked the vote stating they needed more time to address the wording of the ordinance. Several people spoke again in favor of an ordinance that would provide civil rights protections and show that Carmel is a tolerant community. However, others reiterated their reservations with the ordinance claiming the language was too vague and did not offer specific definitions. Council members will take another two weeks to address the remaining questions and issues. Sharp told the council he would call for a discussion and a vote at the councils’ Oct. 5 meeting. — AMBER STEARNS Voter registration deadline approaching Indiana’s November election is fast approaching, as is the voting registration deadline of Oct. 5. Erin Kelley, co-president of the League of Women Voters of Indiana, says voter registration is crucial to civic engagement. But she explains Indiana’s voter turnout is notoriously poor, ranking last among states in the 2014 election. “So, Indiana’s civic health is in a bad state,” says Kelley. “Local elections are incredibly important. People who run for mayor or county commissioner, these people make decisions that impact your life on a regular basis, in very real ways.” Kelley encourages voters to research candidates and says voters also should make sure their personal information is updated before going to the polls on Nov. 3. People can register to vote by mail, online or in person at a voter registration office. Last year, only 30 percent of the 4.5 million Hoosiers registered to vote actually cast a ballot. — INDIANA NEWS SERVICE 6 NEWS // 09.23.15 - 09.30.15 // 100% RECYCLED PAPER // NUVO

She had come across the same thing — with different requirements — in all of the states she had worked. “Even though I taught high school English, I was required to take Texas History in order to obtain a teaching license in Texas,” said Leonard.
Indiana licensure for teaching Although the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency handles the licensure for most professions in the state, the Indiana Department of Education administers licenses for teachers. “Teachers coming to Indiana from other states, regardless of their level of education and experience, must take and pass all our required licensure tests in content and pedagogy,” says DOE spokesman Daniel Altman. “These requirements are both statutory and promulgated by the State Board of Education in its licensure rules.” In order to teach in the state of Indiana, a potential educator must have a education degree from an accredited college or university, pass the licensing tests, and get certified in suicide prevention and CPR. For teachers coming to Indiana, a valid license from another state is taken into consideration, but does not guarantee an Indiana license. “Most states provide limited reciprocity to out of state applicants if they hold a valid out of state license that is the equivalent of our standard or proficient license. The limited reciprocity allows candidates to hold a temporary license while meeting jurisdiction-specific licensure requirements, like tests,” says Altman. “In Indiana, we issue a one year reciprocal permit to an out of state applicant in the content areas on the out of state license; during the year of validity the candidate must complete our jurisdiction-specific licensure requirements. Once our licensure requirements have been met, the teacher may apply for ‘full’ licensure here.” S E E , EDUCA TION, O N PA GE 08

When a teacher applies for a license in Indiana, they must submit the required documents to the DOE and wait for an evaluation of their credentials. “We check for undergrad and graduate degrees to be sure the institution where the applicant took coursework/graduated is at least regionally accredited and whether the candidate completed a state or nationally approved teacher preparation program,” says Altman. “We check whether the teacher’s out of state license is a full license or a temporary/limited license and what content areas and grades it covers. We ask for verification of out of state teaching experience, as that will impact the type of license we will issue once our state-specific licensure requirements are met.” In addition to their education and credentials all Indiana teachers must take suicide prevention training, become CPR-certified, and pass the state’s required teaching exams. Indiana is a member of the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC), an organization that works in all 50 states and several U.S. territories to assist the entities that facilitate teacher training, licensure and discipline. According to the NASDTEC website, the purpose of the organization is to “exercise leadership in matters related to the preparation and certification of professional school personnel.” However, with this leadership, each state and territory still creates its own standards for licensure. Pearson Education — a British-owned company that specializes in education textbooks and assessment tests — creates the assessment tests each Indiana educator is required to pass. Pearson Education also owns Connections Education LLC — the parent company for online charter schools Connections Academy and Nexus Academy — and is the new vendor the state is using to create and administer the I-STEP test for student assessment.

has changed for the requirements for out-of-state teachers. Teachers who have come to Indiana in the last 5 years give similar stories of retesting and extra pedagogy classes as Leonard did 30 years ago. According to Altman, the subject was broached with the SBOE, but rejected. “During the promulgation process for our current licensing rules, the State Board was asked to consider expanding the notion of reciprocity to allow applicants with valid licenses and several years of teaching experience from another state, most of whom had to pass licensure tests in that other state, to be issued full licensure in Indiana without having to pass Indiana’s tests,” says Altman. “The board members were not agreeable to that “Teachers coming to Indiana from suggestion and were other states, regardless of their level of one voice that all coming to of education and experience, must take teachers Indiana are expected to pass all of Indiand pass all our required licensure ana’s required tests tests in content and pedagogy.” if they want to be licensed here.” However, Andrea — DANIEL ALTMAN, Neal, an Indiana DEPT.

photographers. For him it was seeing the city in a new way and meeting people that have helped him find his passion. He is part of the group that you have probably already noticed on Instagram, Igers Indy. Simply put, they are a group of roughly ten people armed with
iPhones. The group of photographers, historians, designers, doctors and stay at home dads is challenging our constructs of art and hosting one of the most unique photo shows to roll around this fall — Circle City Squared. The show was a competition amongst Indy Instagramers (who entered by tagging images with specific hashtags, see P.12) and was set in motion by Primary Colours’ board member Keri Jeter and one of the hands at the Igers Indy masthead, Raina Regan. Jeter was sitting in a board meeting in May of this year when she caught herself thumbing through Regan’s feed, wishing she could give her a solo show. Then the light clicked — >>>

why not have a show that used entirely images from Instagram? The idea seems a bit lowbrow in comparison with the professional photographer (Matt LaFary) that they originally had lined up; after all, capturing unique angles on an iPhone requires hardly the skill and sculpting of light that goes into using a true lens. But the more Jeter and the board talked about it, the more they realized the show was exactly the discourse that Primary Colours wanted to start.
Primary Colours whittled that down. Winners were notified and asked to send in a high resolution version of their images. Roberts Camera is printing them as a donation to the show. Primary Colours has decided to sell the images for $100 apiece; giving the artists $70 and keeping $30 (to keep the lights on, Jeter adds). “You can also see the show as a statement,” says Jeter. “Do our photographs have to live forever in our phones? You know. People don’t print photos anymore.

“I think Instagram is a great way to get art to the people,” says Jeter. “And I think Instagram is changing the way we think about art.” The show itself is meant to be laid out just like the app. “You are going to walk in and feel like you are walking through the feed on your phone,” says Jeter. There will be nine sets of nine photos, each section chosen from a specific hashtag. Once Primary Colours settled on the idea, Jeter reached out to Regan to
“The thing that I find fascinating about Instagram is that it’s changing who we think of as artists.” — KERI JETER rally the Igers Indy folks to help promote the show. In exchange, they were guaranteed two of the nine sets for their own work automatically. Some of the Igers people were also chosen to be shown in other sections. They narrowed down the submissions to 50-60 images per tag, then 10 COVER STORY // 09.23.15 - 09.30.15 // 100% RECYCLED PAPER // NUVO
They take 3,000 shots to get two great images, then they live forever on Instagram. So you can think of the show as a statement to that. Some of them do deserve to be printed and hung up on the wall. “We want people to think of themselves as artists and I think the show really helps with that,” says Jeter. According to her, the show is doing exactly what she feels any good exhibit should — make you consider what art really is. “The show will probably frustrate some people,” says Jeter. “I know there are art enthusiasts in town who think art should be elite, it should be high brow … There are definitely some people who don’t think that everyone should be an artist, but I disagree. Art is for everyone … You are going to bore a lot of people if their only thought of art is a stuffy museum or something like that. It’s not inspiring to everyone. “No one has thrown any shade yet, but I am sure it’s coming,” says Jeter. “I would be surprised if someone didn’t have something negative to say.” Primary Colours regularly gets flak for their choices. The most common of which is when they destroy paintings during the Art vs. Art event. (In fact, a woman once put herself in front of a
chainsaw in protest.) “I can see how some people would say that Instagram is too widely acceptable.” says Jeter. “I mean look at Shakepeare, for the time he was very low brow. I think that you have to make art accessible to the people.” Accessibility is an intriguing part of this show. Yes, there is a point of privilege that comes with owning a smartphone. However, that point is nowhere near the cost of shooting and printing the same number of images in film. It’s no new concept that the gatekeeping has widened to the art world with the digital age. But most of us can agree with Jeter’s definition of art at the most basic level. “I know it when I see it.” At the end of the day whether this show is nothing more than curation of photos from people who have reached “social media fame” or it’s a prolific examination of the artwork that we hold in our hands every day, isn’t really the point. The photos can be seen as a source of inspiration or art itself. The board members at Primary Colours hope you mull it over. “The thing that I find fascinating about Instagram is that it’s changing who we think of as artists,” says Jeter. “And especially photographers, because now everyone has fabulous phones with these amazing cameras. “Who is an artist? Do you have to have gone to art school and gotten a graduate degree to consider yourself an artist? … How do you determine success? Is it simply have you gotten your work out? Are people viewing your work? Are people double tapping that image (in this case) and giving you your “likes?”… if you are seeing an art show and it doesn’t make you think like that, then you are probably missing something.” One of the benefits that many in the Igers Indy group brought up was the value of being able to see work from around the globe. “You can learn a lot from watching other artists,” says Jeter. “It’s revolutionary.” Even artists like Ai Weiwei have referred to social media as a medium that’s “not one that records the past, but one that forms the present condition.” What was a community of online inspiration translated into reality when Igers Indy began to meet in person and challenge one another to see Indy differenty. For some, the app is a source of income. For others, it’s a way to lay claim to your heritage. But no matter how they are using it, it’s a conversation about the visual and personal complexities that Circle City has to offer. In the rest of this article, you will see some of the ways that photography and social media have impacted Indy Instagrammers. “Art is something that moves you,” says Jeter. “And you can get that through Instagram.” n

ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE? Joe Magers thinks back to his first time at the Instagram meetup. “People are supportive and it’s easy to be inspired there,” he says. Today Magers is one of the founders of Igers Indy. He is known above almost any member as being the guy you call if you want to go take pictures. His crisp style focuses on landscapes and a lot of center vanishing points in his shots. After attending IU for biology, Magers found himself in the after-college rut of translating those hours of studying and back-crushing debt into a career. After floating around for a while he eventually settled on being a land surveyor, something that made sense to him after shooting dozens of landscapes. But Instagram has already taken him further than a 9-to-5 job. When he first created his account he started following a journalist in Hong Kong. “It just captured my imagination,” says Magers. “It opened my eyes up to the world and it made me want to go see for myself.” He was inspired to travel. And eventually had his passport stamped in Ireland, England, France, Italy, Germany, and yes, Hong Kong. “It was a dream come true,” says Magers. “All created by Instagram.”
The Concentrics Center for Research is currently seeking individuals who are concerned about their blood pressure to participate in a research study. If you are concerned about your blood pressure, you may be eligible to participate. Qualified participants will receive compensation for time and travel.

Ian Robertson (with Dawson) “The only reason we came together was Instagram,” says Robertson as we walk around the Circle, climbing stairwells. He pauses to snap pictures with his Canon every few hundred feet. We walked to the tops of a few parking garages that offer killer lines of sight to Miss Indianapolis. Robertson was arrested in Chicago on the Park Hyatt earlier this year so he is being extra careful with rooftop excursions. “I have been on the three tallest [buildings] in the city — the state actually,” says Robertson. He has been climbing onto the tops of skyscrapers for the past two years for the sake of urban exploration — and for a few stellar shots. He is most well known in Indy as the photographer who went onto the roof of the Chase tower. When he introduces himself at Instagram meetups (where photographers can come and shoot together at one location for a few hours) it is usually one of the first things people say about him. He is under no misconception that what he is doing is illegal, but he maintains that he never vandalizes anything and sometimes he is allowed where he shoots. He once sent the property manager of One America an email and just asked if he could go on the roof to shoot. Robertson is a junior photo major at Herron School of Art and Design — a decision that was brought on after attempting to pursue engineering at Purdue, only to wind up back in his parent’s house with no plan. “I was there for a semester when I realized ‘I can’t do this.’ So I came back,” says Robertson. “I was jobless, I was school-less, and I was just sitting in my parent’s basement like ‘I have got to do something. I have to get off my ass right now.’” He went out exploring and began to shoot. Soon he was posting images on Instagram and saw that Dawson (who asked me not to use his full name) was shooting a similar style of street photography. The two decided to meet up. “The first time I met him he made me defy death,” says Robertson laughing. “To get from the parking garage to the [Hilton Garden Inn rooftop] you have to Spiderman around a corner. This was actually within the first two minutes of meeting the kid.” Robertson is also afraid of heights. “I have never actually had to break into anywhere I go,” says Dawson. “Most doors are just open.” By far the riskiest thing that they have done is shoot the top of the Chase tower. They were up there for nearly four hours last winter when they got locked out. Robertson said his stomach dropped when they went to open the door and it wouldn’t budge. Eventually they found another way down, but not before climbing the spires and down the huge stair-step-like roof. “They fully know me and Dawson have been up there,” says Robertson referring to the Chase security. Apparently Robertson’s name is well known by security since the image was posted. Both say that they have never been contacted by Chase directly, though. They also aren’t likely to go back up anytime soon. “You just have to calculate ‘Is it worth it?’” says Dawson. “Is the photo I am taking really worth worth a fall, or if one of my friends falls and dies am I still going to want to shoot? “Exploring Indy is getting to know your city inside and out. If you have to walk through a sewer to do that, oh well. That’s part of it. I think it’s fun.” Dawson is 19 and plans to attend Hillsong College in Australia next year, but not for photography. “I don’t think that I have an eye,” says Dawson. “I mean, landscapes are landscapes … If you use your camera more than everyone else, you are going to be better than everyone else. “Everyone calls themselves a photographer,” he adds. “To be honest I don’t call myself a photographer.” To him if you are using that as a source of income and shooting every day, you are a photographer. Robertson hopes to pursue concert photography full time after he graduates.

Troy Carpenter twirled a miniature Nalgene bottle between his fingers while keeping a watchful eye on his daughter who was scaling the Holliday Park playground. He was wearing a screen-printed t-shirt with the Instagram logo and the state of Indiana drawn into it. Carpenter is a stayat-home dad and has been for the last few years. He was a cook at Greg Hardesty’s Elements when it was still in existence. After he and his wife had their first child, it was clear that a cook’s pay and hours wouldn’t cut it. “As you can guess the position [now] involves hanging out with kids, not getting adult interaction, boring sorts of days,” says Carpenter. “No offense to them. They are great, I love them. But it’s like you get to the end of the day and what have I done? Changed diapers and cooked food and went to the mall and pushed a stroller. It was something where at the end of the day I could say ‘here’s a little interesting picture/artistic sort of thing that I took today.’” Carpenter joined Instagram in August of 2011. By the end of 2012 he was following people like Andrew Griswold and Joe Magers, to see what other people were shooting around Indy. Griswold posted a simple photo of the ruins at Holliday Park and made a callout inviting anyone who wanted to meet him downtown at the Starbucks on Monument Circle for an afternoon of shooting. “I am a bit nervous to be honest, about meeting people on the internet,” says Carpenter. “I know my wife was. ‘They are going to be the Craigslist killer’ or something, right.” Carpenter says that ten people showed up to the first meet. He confessed to bringing his eldest daughter Sophia in case he needed an excuse to leave. This first meet went much better than he thought, and has been actively attending ever since. That first meetup that he helped coordinate is the genesis of Igers Indy.

raiosunshine Preservationist, @igersindy architectural guru
Raina Regan is one of the core group of people who is feeding the belly of the #Igersindy tag and account. She has a particular niche where Instagram lets her bridge her social life and work. Regan is a Community Preservation Specialist at the Indiana Landmarks Center. She has a degree in historical preservation, and works with local preservationists around central Indiana. (Meaning she teaches them how to restore historical buildings.) Like Dawson, she doesn’t consider herself a photographer. “[Instagram] is more a of a creative outlet for me,” says Regan. Keep in mind, she has over 22,000 followers. She predominantly shoots architecture around the city. “That’s one of the thing that I really love about Indy,” says Regan. “There are certain spaces and buildings that have built their own life on Instagram. Like #ThatGoldBuilding is the most iconic building in Indy on Instagram. … Indy may not be Chicago with these huge sky scrapers but we do have unique architecture that people like to photograph in different ways. As someone who takes primarily architecture photos, I get excited when I see someone take a different view of the building … It shows that there is a lot of creative talent here.” One of the iconic spots that has a life of its own is a Civil War-era farmhouse in Fishers, affectionately called #ThatFishersHouse. Andy Kessler (one of the Igers Indy founders) started the tag. Eventually Regan got a call at work saying that the house was going to be torn down by a developer who had just purchased the land. “I definitely think there was public awareness of the building’s value through social media,” says Regan. “And social media played a big role in moving it.” She and her boss jumped to the helm and worked with other organizations around town to physically move the house about a mile down the road to a new plot of land. You can still see the house from I-69. “It was really great because so many people came out [when the house was moved],” says Regan. “It was like a family event.” She recalls being wrapped up in a purple fleece, standing by families lining the road on a chilly October morning to watch the house slowly wheel away. “There are moments in the preservation field where you see buildings that are lost, it can be heartbreaking,” says Regan. “You can try and save them, but a combination of things just doesn’t happen. But seeing a community and a group of partners come together to save a building is very … encouraging. It lets us as preservationists know that the work that we do can help people reconnect with their heritage and realize that these are important places. “Instagram for me is a way to share what I value and I love which is historic places with a large audience,” says Regan. She also adds that, for her, she hopes that people in Indy will open their phones and start to see these buildings in a different way. “The community here, we have a passion for Indianapolis,” says Regan. “That’s why we take pictures.”

Osogbo Art and Heritage Nigeria’s Influence on Contemporary Art in the 20th Century e Through Sept. 27. In the 1950s, the Osogbo School of Art arose in the Nigerian city of the same name, and many notable artists were nurtured there. Its experimental workshops mixed Yoruba folklore and motifs with western media which included canvases and oil paint and aluminum relief panels, all seen in this well-curated exhibition. An untitled bead painting by Chief Jimoh Buraimoh that leaps off the wall here demonstrates this cross-cultural confluence between media and meaning. Buraimoh is described in the wall text as Africa’s first bead-painter. He took the beadwork used on traditional Yoruba fabrics and crowns and applied it to his mixed media canvases. In this painting you see a flowing, colorful depiction of a woman holding a baby in the foreground. Buraimoh created this image with a mosaic of beads, rising above the painted background. (Such depictions may appear to be stylized, but keep in mind that these figures may be portrayed as wearing masks, which are themselves stylized.) In the background there are figures as well; they seem to be peeking out of the shadows. Perhaps they are Egungun, the masked ancestors of the Yoruba. Another artist with work here is Prince Twins Seven Seven. For those with some knowledge of the Indianapolis Museum’s African collection, this name might ring a bell, because his work “Healing of the Abiku Children” resides in the IMA. (His contribution to this exhibit is a work from 1974 entitled “Greedy Twin Hunters” using ink and pigment as media.) Wall text in this exhibit relates the story about Prince Twins being asked by a woman if he admired Picasso. His response was “I’m bigger than Picasso ... The only person that inspires me the most is God.” Artists like Prince Twins Seven Seven, Chief Jimoh Buraimoh, and their younger counterparts on display in this exhibition demonstrate that the Osogbo School artists also have their own compelling styles that are no less contemporary for being rooted in tradition. — DAN GROSSMAN The Garfield Park Arts Center

f you think the exhibition Gathering: Contemporary Glass from the Heartland is going to be as crowded with blown glass vases and bowls as your grandparents’ fireplace mantel, you should bury that notion. And you just might be able to do that with one piece from the show — a shovel with the business end made of glass — “Interment” by Allysa Burch. Burch, from Stevens Point, Wisc., is just one of 27 artists whose work will be displayed in this exhibition at the Indianapolis Art Center (IAC). The rules for this juried exhibition required artists to be born in the Midwest or have gone to school in the region. “When they apply, the only stipulation is that glass has to be integral to the work of art, meaning that it doesn’t have to all be made of glass,” says Betsy Knotts, a member of the Indiana Glass Arts Alliance, which is a sponsor of this exhibition. “But if glass wasn’t part of it, it wouldn’t get the message across.” Just about any 2D or 3D kind of art that you might think of can be done on glass, according to IAC glass instructor and Gathering exhibitor Ben Johnson. “Glass can really transcend any studio [in the Indianapolis Art Center],” he says. “You can use it as mixed media in sculpture, you can mix it with wood, you do enameling on glass, or fused glass jewelry, you can melt glass on ceramics, you can blow glass in our studio, you can paint on glass, you can do photographic imagery on glass, you can draw on glass.

ISO opens with two war horses Even though Friday’s (Sept. 18) concert was the first in the 2015-2016 season, the orchestra celebrates its “Opening Night Gala” at 6 p.m. on Sept. 26. You tell me how. A Beethoven piano concerto paired with a Mozart symphony for a two-hour concert! Hard to believe, granting that we heard Beethoven’s “Emperor” Concerto (No. 5 in E-flat, Op. 73) coupled with Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 in G Minor. K. 550. While the “Emperor” is the longest in the genre written up to that time (1809) at nearly 45 minutes, all Mozart symphonies can be played at less than half an hour. But when Krzysztof Urbanski tackled the Mozart 40th, he observed all the possible repeats, including the first movement exposition, the second movement’s exposition and its development-and-recap plus both of those sections in the fourth movement; it added up to slightly over 35 minutes. Starting at 8:05 p.m. and counting the 20-minute intermission, the concert concluded at 9:55 p.m. which gave the approximately two thirds filled Circle Theatre a full program. Though Beethoven’s Op. 73 is easily the grandest concerto conception written to that date, it is exceeded in lyric profundity by his No. 4 in G, Op. 58. Its long, drawn-out first movement also lacks the musical density which Mozart compressed into his K. 550, including all the repeats. Still, the concerto is a winning choice when it has a seasoned interpreter. At 66, Emanuel Ax has lost none of the power his fingers commanded of the keyboard, giving the “Emperor” as sturdy a reading as we are apt to find. His tempo nuances were subtle, his dynamics well controlled, Ax occasionally gave us a bit too much pedal on his scale runs, but articulated his high register figurations well, with nary a slip. Our performers took the Rondo finale, marked Allegro ma non troppo, at too measured a pace, robbing it of some of its sparkle. Still the applause was thunderous, prompting Ax to give us an encore, “Des Abends,” the first number in a group of Schumann Fantasy Pieces (Fantasiestücke), Op. 12. Mozart’s K. 550 is one of his three greatest symphonies, the other two being the “Prague” (No. 38 in D, K. 504) and the “Jupiter” (No. 41 in C, K. 551). Scarcely behind them is No. 39 in E-flat, K.543, which seems to get fewer performances. K. 550’s outer two movements drive with agitation, but Urbanski made them seem more like a limpid stream with soft, overlapping phrases ... His approach was convincing, even unto taking the Minuet movement more slowly than usual. — TOM ALDRIDGE

he Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra opens its 2015-16 season with a handful of new personalities. “It’s been several years since we’ve seen this many new faces at the start of a season,” says ISO Music Director Krzysztof Urbanski. “It’s very exciting to welcome them to the family.” NUVO took the opportunity to learn about the new ISO faces beyond their musical excellence. We were only able to print one question for each musician. Find the rest on nuvo.net.
Austin Huntington
Principal Cello, The Manterfield Chair NUVO: So you turn 21 and it’s project “grown-up” — what’s the zest that’s now percolating and how is it fueling the start of a career with the ISO? AUSTIN HUNTINGTON: The day I stop having fun while playing music will be the day I retire. I can’t see that ever happening. Growing up — a certain amount is necessary for a job like this — one has to be bulletproof in preparation for every rehearsal and concert and present oneself in a professional light to match the position. However, I can’t imagine ever playing a piece like Beethoven’s ninth Symphony and not giving it my all while smiling during the whole finale. Offstage, it is very important to strike a balance between fun and work. I am very fortunate that I absolutely love my work and to me, playing a concert with music I love for a full house is one of the most amazing things I can think of doing.
Vince Lee
Associate Conductor NUVO: At IU while pursuing your graduate degrees, you premiered 50-plus works by student composers. Out in the professional world, the total is over 200. What’s the pull to be on the podium to help birth new works? VINCE LEE: My first steps into the world of new/modern compositions were initially a result of circumstance and opportunity.

Conducting students receive very limited podium time during their official studies, especially during their first year at a new school ... There are so many things that appeal to me when it comes to bringing new works to life. I love the challenge of it; every new work is like a puzzle and it’s my job to put that puzzle together. For ferociously difficult pieces a complete rehearsal game plan is essential to a successful performance. For aleatoric music [where there’s some element of chance in the composition], one needs a clear picture of how the musical elements combine, or else the piece will fall apart. With a piece that has flaws in design, the challenge is to still have an effective, compelling performance. Each work brings a unique set of challenges, and it’s a ton of fun to solve them.
Michael Muszynski Second Bassoon
NUVO: You’ve been a professional sports photographer with Chicago White Sox, Cubs and Bears credits working with US Presswire. What’s the thrill of being in the midst of gameplay? Any “war stories” or photo ops that got away? Best photo op you nailed? MICHAEL MUSZYNSKI: Again, this kind of fits with my personality. I’ve always tried to do everything, no matter how ridiculous the time constraints. I worked at the school newspaper in college as well — I was the photo editor. That was basically a job three to four nights a week. There’s something appealing about photography for me, and sports in particular. There is a technical side, not only of being able to operate the camera, but also knowing where the play is heading and where you need to be to

Assistant Principal Clarinet and Bass Clarinetist NUVO: After graduating from Northwestern you toured nationally with Les Miserables in 2010-2011. What are the challenges with the crossover? SAMUEL ROTHSTEIN: While I was classically trained, my education at Northwestern taught me to be well versed in many different styles and genres. Les Miserables is very much a classical show, so I approached it in the same way that I would approach an orchestra concert. The difference, for me, was the mental aspect of these performances. It is very difficult to play a three-hour show, eight times a week, and still be able to give it your all on each and every performance. Performing in musicals is very mentally draining, and I have a ton of respect for my colleagues who do it for a living week in and week out.
Peter Vickery
Violin, Assistant Concertmaster, The Meditch Chair NUVO: You started violin at age 6 – what emotionally, intellectually, viscerally has kept you connected, focused? PETER VICKERY: Early in my musical training, much if not all of my perseverance came from my parents. My mother helped me practice regularly and committed herself to helping me improve. Later on, about middle school I believe, I decided to take more personal ownership of the violin. Mentally, I enjoy the challenge of tackling difficulties on the violin and breaking down the steps of how to overcome technical obstacles. Also, I love the creative aspect — making the musical notes on the paper real to others and sharing through the language of music the great range of emotions we all feel. n

in Pittsburgh.” I look back and one of the flight attendants yells to another one in the plane … and you could tell she was panicked … we land in this emergency airfield in Pittsburgh. And there’s cops, fire engines lined up. And we’re pushing each other to get off the plane, and we are going to this block house. People are standing around saying, “what happened? What was it?” The pilot or co-polite said … somebody phoned in a bomb threat. And they said that plane will never get to Indianapolis. So I am thinking, it didn’t say it wouldn't get to Kansas City or San Francisco … I turned a woman next to me and said, “This is going to sound crazy, but,” and I poured out my whole story about Going All the Way … and she says “well, Mr. Wakefield, I am from Bloomington, and if I were you I would go back to New York.” And I did.
NUVO: Have any of your books been banned? DAN WAKEFIELD: No. I am disappointed. I thought Going All the Way would have been. I think it’s a great thing to have Banned Books week. And you know, I went a couple of years ago and I read something from The Great Gatsby. What I was most struck by, Judy O’Bannon the wife of the former governor, Frank O’Bannon read from To Kill A Mockingbird. She read from the part that had been banned, and all it was was the girl Scout talking to a neighbor woman. The neighbor woman said something and said “to hell with it.” That’s all. The word hell.
WAKEFIELD: Are you kidding? When Going All the Way came out, I had one death threat — two guys were going to come to Boston and beat the hell out of me. A woman that I didn't really know — I just knew her name to say hello in the halls of high school — she said I had ruined her marriage because she thought she was one of the characters. Here’s the weirdest one. I had done a book tour, and the publisher said, “Listen, we have an author from a TV station in Indianapolis, they will pay your way, pay you to stay.” I said no “I don't want to do it.’ He said ‘oh, come on.” So I was living in Boston. So I went down to New York, I was staying in a hotel and the next day I was supposed to go. The Delacourt PR woman came over to the hotel with my plane ticket. It was an awful rainy day, and I said, “Gee I really don’t want to do this thing.” She said, “No, no, don’t be silly. It’s just for a day and night.” … But when the PR woman came over and said “Ernest Scott, our sales manager told me to give you this page from the New York Post.” And I looked at it, it was the front page of the New York Post. And it was about a woman accused of murder. There was a photograph of her coming out of her apartment and she had her arm over her face. And I thought, what does this have to do with me?

We had been discussing the new edition of his book Under the Apple Tree, the story that is set on the home front of WWII. The main character, Artie, is a 10-year-old boy whose brother goes into the Marines. Artie stays home watching the love affair that commences when his brother’s girlfriend finds another in his absence. Wakefield remembers so vividly when the idea for the book came to him. “I was living in Boston, and I was walking down Charles Street — the main street in my neighborhood,” says Wakefield. “And in my mind I had this memory, a picture of me when I was a kid sitting on the porch at 61st and Winthrop. And I had a pair of binoculars and I was looking for enemy airplanes.”

Johnny Depp makes a damn good gangster opposite Joel Edgerton in Black Mass.
Black Mass e Black Mass tries to be a big, sprawling crime saga, but it works so much better as a small, intimate character study. When the film stops hitting the standard “mafia biopic beats” — confessional narration, jarring jumps through time — and focuses on one character, it’s mesmerizing. It’s especially compelling when the camera lands on Johnny Depp as Boston crime boss James “Whitey” Bulger. He casts a spell — like a magician luring you into his grasp before pulling the rug out from under you. His Whitey Bulger is as terrifying as Edward Scissorhands is tender. It’s a perfect performance in a movie that is only pretty good. Black Mass has a lot of subplots that are worthy of being developed into whole films. The most engaging subplot involves Bulger’s alliance with his childhood-friend-turned-FBI-agent, John Connolly (Joel Edgerton). The film could have devoted two hours to this story of two friends confiding in each other like they did as kids but under high legal stakes. Instead, director Scott Cooper packs it with episodic mafia filler — scenes of gangsters sniffing out rats, dinner discussions in which death looms over the table, etc. You can sense that Cooper is struggling to step into Martin Scorsese’s shoes. Scorsese films like Goodfellas and Casino capture the whirlwind experience of criminal life. They move at the rapid-fire pace of a fever dream, not stopping long enough to let characters question crime as it sweeps them off their feet. Black Mass wants to mirror the irresistibly relentless nature of these films. But it works best when it stops to smell the roses before they land on gangsters’ graves. If only Cooper had the same patience as his spellbinding star. This is Depp’s show — he steals every frame of the film. R, open in wide release — SAM WATERMEIER

andmark Keystone Art Cinema will screen Robert Altman’s Nashville in commemoration of its 40th anniversary. The film stirred up a huge fuss back in 1975. With Pauline Kael leading the charge, critics hailed it as an epic vision, profound and a masterpiece. Then the backlash kicked in and other critics called it superficial and smug. The country music establishment was outraged at its “cheap shots.” Parts of the movie drove me crazy back then. I thought some of the country music characters were cartoonish beyond belief, especially Henry Gibson from Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In, who turned Keep A-Goin,’ a poem he delivered comically on the TV show, into a straight-faced inspirational tune for the movie. Geraldine Chaplin’s roving BBC reporter, who blathered into the mic of her tape recorder as she wandered from scene to scene, was nearly as irritating. At roughly two hours and forty minutes, I thought the film was indulgent and downright dull in spots. I thought that each of the several times I went back to the theater to watch it again. I watched Nashville again yesterday. Keep A-Goin’ still bugs me a little, as does Chaplin’s chatter, but the film entertained me as much — maybe more — now as it did then. And the two hours and 40 minutes flew by. So what’s it all about? Nashville is a sprawling portrait of America, or country music, or politics and celebrity, or something. Let’s just say it’s sprawling. There are 24 primary characters — 24! — and Altman gives a good amount of screen time to all of them. Although there was a full-fledged screenplay, most of the scenes were improvised. The actors never knew for sure when one of the cameras was filming them, so they had to stay in character throughout every shot. So did the supporting players, because Altman was fond of including any snippets of dialogue he found interesting. As in real life, sentences of different characters often overlap. The music was all filmed live as well. What you hear is what they played.

INDY’S NEWEST HAUNTED HOUSE
DARK CARNIVAL AND DIABOLIQUE
A preview of Bloomington’s darkest film festival
T
BY SA M WA T E R ME IE R SWATER@NU VO . N ET
he Diabolique International Film Festival is David Pruett’s baby — his creepy mutant baby. Dedicated to pitch-dark, pulpy genre films, it started nine years ago under the name Dark Carnival. Before the 10th and final festival, Pruett will discuss his creation with fellow contributors in a panel at IU Cinema. He talked about it like a proud father sending his child off to college. David Pruett
NUVO: How did you give birth to Dark Carnival?
DAVID PRUETT: I had a childhood that might best be described as “difficult,” and those kinds of films were my preferred means of escape. And, like a lot of people who love movies, I’ve always dreamed of making them. I made my first film in middle school in the ’80s — a stop-motion Star Wars fan film, shot on a stolen Super 8 camera. Later on, I befriended the one kid in my high school who owned a VHS camcorder. In the rural town I lived in, that was like finding a unicorn. It wasn’t until many years later, after I moved to Bloomington, that I met a group of like-minded individuals — people who could eat, sleep and breathe movies. ... That’s where Dark Carnival was born. NUVO: How did you feel when you and your friends’ love of the horror genre’s cathartic power turned into this festival? What was its first year like? PRUETT: It might be kind of controversial to say, but I feel like a lot of horror fans are maybe misfits in this world, maybe a little damaged. If watching horror movies is how we face our fears, then making horror movies is a way to truly embrace them. And by extension, a festival of horror films is a great way to bring us together and celebrate with our own kind. The first Dark Carnival in 2007 was a great example of how ignorance can sometimes work in our favor. We had very little festival experience and really didn’t know what was impossible. So we went all-out, screening films for six days across four different venues, including a drive-in. We had live performances, an art show, celebrity guests and a dance party. The last day of the festival ended

with the fire department coming to the main theater. Best. Week. Ever. NUVO: How did Dark Carnival turn into Diabolique? PRUETT: It’s complicated. I’ll start at the very beginning. It was originally Arthur Cullipher’s idea to create a “carnival of the weird.” I proposed Dark Carnival — a fall festival that would showcase dark themes in art, film and live performance. Arthur and I decided that the festival should have an aesthetic that lived up to its name — an autumn color palette with shades of red and orange, creepy clowns and the atmosphere of a big top circus long past its prime. We strove each year to bring it more in line with our vision, but limited resources made it difficult. By 2012, we found ourselves priced out of our main theater. We always treated each year like it would be our last, and that year almost was. Instead of giving up, we moved the festival to Columbus’ old Crump Theater — a crumbling safety hazard, which actually felt closer to our original vision. Unfortunately, the move resulted in our lowest turnout ever. So, we went back to Bloomington, where I felt like an identity change was necessary. NUVO: What are you looking forward to the most in this year’s festival? PRUETT: I’m looking forward to watching the movies. We have a screening committee that makes the selections, so I actually haven’t seen every single film. And even for the ones I have watched, I still love to see the audience reaction. That’s always been one of my favorite parts — when the audience responds to the films we’ve chosen. That’s something I’ll miss. n

ack Marcum, the third in his family to carry that name, likes to be called by his middle name, Lee. Growing up as the grandson of the Jack for whom Jack’s Donuts is named, Lee dreamed of striking out on his own at 18. “I had been working there all my life. The last thing I wanted to do was spend another minute in that shop,” Lee laughed. But that all changed when the possibility of letting the family business go became a real threat.

The donut shop had been languishing for some time when Lee’s dad called him to let him know he had a buyer in mind. All of a sudden, Lee wasn’t so sure he was ready to see the family business go. So he called his father back moments later and told him not to sell the business. At 24 years
young, he was going to buy it. Lee calls himself a “community college dropout” with a bit of a chuckle, but the joke’s on business schools nationwide, as his natural business acumen has helped transform the business from a single neighborhood donut shop to a franchised, rapidly-expanding brand. The turnaround began when Lee walked into a Five Guys Burgers shop and noticed that brevity seemed to be the key to their success. It was right there in the name: Burgers and fries, which is all they serve. So Lee decided to pare down the menu to two things: Donuts and coffee. No more muffins or Danishes or, as they had once sold, pizza. Lee also canceled distribution contracts in other states, and made quite a few enemies both inside and outside of the family in the process. People who had known Jack’s Donuts since its inception in 1961 accused Lee of “ruining” the family business and messing with what they thought wasn’t broken. He took it in stride with a larger goal in mind: Not just survival, but expansion. Malcolm Gladwell would probably call this his S E E , DONUT, O N PA GE 2 6

David and Goliath moment, one that hinged on his willingness to be momentarily hated for the greater good of the family business. “They told me I was screwing everything up. But they didn’t see the books,” he said. Before the intervention, the business was stretched too thin for a one-shop operation. After turning the proverbial Titanic around, the Marcums are now enjoying a huge boom in business. Lee has found a way to sneak a little Jack’s products into new consumer awareness through an adept social media presence, their signature giant donuts, and by being the only visible brand of coffee on the studio kitchen shelf on IndyStyle. Their latest move finds Jack’s Donuts on the edge of a franchising explosion. The business that started over 50 years ago saw its first franchise get started in 2013, with tons more planned for locations spread across the 465 loop. As soon as they can find storefront space downtown, they’re going to go for it. Well, the franchisees will. Such is the secret to Lee’s formula: To run as few brick-and-mortar restaurants as possible while selling the franchise rights to the new, simplified setup. 26 FOOD // 09.23.15 - 09.30.15 // 100% RECYCLED PAPER // NUVO
The secondary beauty of only needing a few pieces of equipment is they can get a Jack’s Donuts ready to open in much less time than your average restaurant. Good thing, too, because the donuts are awesome and so is the coffee. And both are almost as good as their “not just for cops” t-shirts. It’s all part of a much larger plan, but one with a simple goal. “The product speaks for itself. All I have to do is find a way to get these donuts in the hands of hungry people, and they’ll come back,” which is why you are much more likely to see Lee Marcum out on the town with his signature purple and gold boxes, doing just that. The Jack’s brand is homegrown proof that there is no greater recipe for success than smart business and honest sweat — well that, and a hot cup of coffee to dunk your donut in. n
ioneer will be opening in just a few short weeks on the corner of Shelby and Prospect in Fountain Square. Owner Bryce Caldwell has hired a seasoned opening team, all of whom spent time at Bluebeard before heading to join the new venture. In the kitchen, Bryan Kanne and Justin Eiteljorge will be cooking what they describe as “Alpine” cuisine. Originally, the restaurant was going to be all Northern Italian style food, but Eiteljorge didn’t feel comfortable hitching the entire premise of the menu on a cuisine he didn’t have a lot of experience with. So they decided to open the scope and include German, French, and Austrian food. That means they’ll have small plates, three pasta dishes, and a small list of proteins. For lunch, the proteins will become a smaller menu of tartines — the low-key open-faced French sandwich. Along with picking up Ryan Gullet to run the bar program, they’ll also have 12 draft lines for local brews, and a regular lineup of beer cocktails to accompany

build a name for the restaurant on the food alone. The building itself dates back over 115 years, but might be older due to the haphazard record-keeping of the late 19th century. The building underwent major structural overhauls, from backfilling thousands of pounds of concrete into the sagging front entrance, to jacking up the foundation to level the floor. And because there is a barrier separating the bar from the dining room, you can bring your kiddos with you if you want to. Caldwell and Andrews were originally aiming to open in time for First Friday, but that’s still pretty up in the air. At the latest, they should open their doors by mid to late October.

<<< business around the country as well as abroad. During that time, he also earned his Level 2 Sommelier certification, of which there are only a handful in Indianapolis. Baker’s father and a few friends decided to put together the seed money to start a restaurant with Baker at the helm, and the idea for Open Society was born. Baker hired chef Timothy Brater to put together a menu of South American food, focusing on coastal flavors and using lots of fresh seafood. Rachel Kim, in charge of the equally ambitious cocktail program, comes to the restaurant from The Nomad in New York. Open Society will also have a coffee program modeled after Milktooth’s, with a variety of preparations from pour-over and espresso, with a different roast of bean for each. Hipster bullshit? Okay, maybe a little. But that doesn’t mean that they aren’t very serious about what they’re doing. I could tell because Baker wore the telltale expression of abject terror as he debuted his food for only the second night of wine-paired tastings. And despite some rude heckling by, I’m guessing, grown men who remember him in diapers, he pulled off a good dinner with some thoughtful wine and

bubbly pairings. There will be ups and downs though, as Open Society is, last I heard, planning to be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. To me, this seems like a winning recipe for burnout and/or meth addiction, but there’s no one better to take on the task than an ambitious 25-year-old. Milktooth is a good bar to aim for when starting a coffee program, but there’s a reason they close at 3 p.m. On the flip side, if Baker narrows that service down to coffee and pastries, he may have a real hit on his hands, especially for that coffee shop starved neighborhood. When you go, expect Brazilianinspired cocktails with a lot of green, botanical flavors. The menu will feature a lot of clean proteins like fish and scallops, with some comforting twists like tamales and juicy steaks. Baker will certainly make sure they have a formidable wine list, so it’s possible SoBro may have its own swanky wine bar for the grown and sexy if they play their cards right. It’s definitely going to be worth a visit when it opens early in 2016. The Open Society team seems to be firing on all cylinders in pursuit of a great dining experience. We’ll give you all the details when they open their doors. n

TINY CHATS BACH MEETS BAKER MEETS INDY Sunday, Sept. 27, 2:30 p.m. Bach Meets Baker is a free public program featuring music composed by Indiana University Distinguished Professor of Music David Baker and J.S. Bach. The performance will feature cellist Manuel Fischer-Dieskau, along with pianist Monika Herzig, bassist Jeremy Allen and drummer Joshua Roberts. Herzig and Fischer-Dieskau shared their thoughts about the program in an email interview with NUVO.

NUVO: What do you want the Sept. 27 audience to experience? MONIKA HERZIG: The audience will hear the beauty of David Baker’s Suite [for cello Nr.3 C-major] live; it’s a piece that hasn’t been performed enough. Unfortunately David’s compositions usually get a boost in February during Black History Month but are not part of the classical performance repertoire for the rest of the year. When I brought the recordings to him for the first time to get his approval he was so happy to hear the pieces and told us we did it exactly the way he had it in mind with the correct amount of jazz interpretation. I’m not sure he has heard this Suite performed live or at least not for a very long time so bringing Manuel and David together will be a very special meeting of culture, history and artistry. The Indianapolis Sister City Committee is organizing the event and hence the event will exemplify the global nature of this music with David as a living legend from Indiana Avenue, Manuel as the Sister City exchange artist from Germany, me as the immigrant who combines both worlds, Jeremy Allen on bass as a colleague of David’s, and Josh Roberts on drums who just graduated from IU and presents the next generation of talent and David’s legacy. I think the audience will not only hear beautiful music, but also learn quite a bit about the special jazz history of Indiana, as I will narrate the selection during the program after David’s introduction. The audience will witness some very touching moments.
NUVO: What particularly draws you to David Baker’s compositions for cello? MANUEL FISCHER-DIESKAU: I just love them! When I heard the recording of [Baker’s] Singers of Songs for the first time as an IU-student with Maestro [Janos] Starker, I immediately went to the Bloomington Music store to buy the score. At that time I wasn’t ready to perform these extremely demanding works, but I knew that I would play them one day — a dream was born! Besides I took part as a guest listener at some of Maestro Baker’s improvisation classes at that time — and how can one not love and admire this unique personality, which also inspired me a lot. — RITA KOHN Bach Meets Baker Central Library Clowes Auditorium, 40 E.

t happens after the set break. The crowd, just seconds before lost in their Facebook newsfeeds, griping about Little League soccer coaches — maybe arguing about Donald Trump’s wall idea? – shifts when something rings out from the Rathskeller Biergarten stage. Conversations stop mid-sentence throughout the packed house as the audience collectively turns to face The Woomblies Rock Orchestra on stage, where keyboardist Greg McGuirk is banging out the opening riff to “Baba O'Riley.” It’s good. Or, as McGuirk likes to say, “It kills.” The Orchestra, which McGuirk candidly admits is not a “dance” band, nonetheless spurs a visible cadre of people off the raised patio and down to the dance floor in front. And they dance to the sounds of The Who. Everyone else – literally, everyone — stands rapt, watching Paul Holdman work through a perfect Pete Townsend solo. Five minutes later a few hundred arms thrust upward, fist-pumping the

song’s finale as they and yet a few hundred more cheer the band on. Before any energy is lost, frontman Phil Pierle switches from his solid Roger Daltrey and to a strong Dave Matthews. That’s right, the Woomblies have segued from the teenaged wasteland to “Ants Marching.” And it works. Before the night ends, they’ll have punched in renditions of bedrock hits from Peter Gabriel, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, and an impressive pre-Thriller Michael Jackson. “With this group we pick songs which are big production songs because they lend themselves to the interpretation whether it’s something we’re doing
verbatim or something we can modify and add strings to,” McGuirk says. And we’ve found that the songs which resonate with our audiences are the things we like to do, big pieces like ‘Point of No Return’ or ‘Immigrant Song.’ ” As a four-man act, The Woomblies dates back 15 years, when Holdman and Pierle began improv-jamming in Franklin. By the time they added bassist and vocalist Brant Milholland and drummer Jamey Reid they had emerged as one of the city’s premiere club bands. Eventually, after several years working gigs at the Biergarten, Rathskeller owner (and Woomblies fan) Dan McMichael came to them with an idea. “Several years ago, I had witnessed [an orchestral arrangement playing with a rock band] at the White River State Park,” McMichael says, “a Led Zeppelin tribute band set to strings, and I fell in love with that show. I immediately got the itch to put together a band here with a similar feel and style to it. I had no hesitation about who the band would be. The Woomblies is, note-for-note, the best classic rock cover band in Indianapolis.” But nearly a year after agreeing to move on the project, the band still

lacked the strings they needed to actually put the act on stage. They thought they had their answer when they landed the talents of violinist Cathy Morris. Then Morris and the group parted ways, grounding the project once more. “We do an annual Christmas show with Gene Deere,” McMichael says. “And he brought Allison in here, and I watched someone just tear it up on stage. She was working her way into each song, and she was making it work for her. She was new to town and was open to trying anything, and she eagerly agreed to give The Woomblies a try. That January she, Phil, and I sat down to talk it out, and I instantly noticed a synergy between them to the point where I thought, ‘I guess I’ll just excuse myself from the table and let you guys work your way through this.’” That Allison to whom McMichael refers is the orchestra’s current first chair violinist, Allison Irvine, a Miami native whose role among the cast has grown dramatically of late.

Happy as she is to embrace more of a “face of the band” role because, as she says, “I’m a musician, so of course I enjoy that experience,” Irvine actually defers the genius of the orchestra’s success to the collection of talent arranged on stage, a sentiment best summed by cellist and chart-arranger Grover Parido. “I’m working with really top notch professionals.

he annual Bloomington-based celebration of global music culture known as Lotus Fest arrives this weekend. Consistent with its 20-plus year history, Lotus Fest will bring a sampling of the greatest musicians in the world (and from all over the world) to Indiana for a weekend of unforgettable performances. A quick look at this year's lineup reveals why I continually trumpet Lotus as the best music festival in Indiana. There's a dizzying variety of sounds on tap this year from Louisiana music legend Buckwheat Zydeco, to indie rocker tUnE-yArDs, to North African brass band Fanfaraï, to South Korean traditional music duo suːm. One of my favorite acts on the Lotus schedule this year is the Israeli-born, Ethiopian soul singer Ester Rada. I spoke with Rada via phone in advance of her Friday and Saturday night dates at Lotus Fest. Head to LotusFest.org for full performance schedules and tune in to Cultural Manifesto this Wednesday night at 9 p.m. on 90.1 WFYI for a full hour of Lotus Fest tunes.
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: The music you're making now clearly reflects your love of the Ethiopian culture. At what point did you start reconsidering your heritage? RADA: It was in my 20s. I'd heard Ethiopian music, but I didn't really listen because of the confusion I had. But when I started to really listen to Ethiopian music I discovered a whole new world.
NUVO: The music you're now making draws on the sound of classic Ethio-Jazz and Ethiopian soul as pioneered by artists like Mulatu Astatke and Mahmoud Ahmed. Am I correct in assuming those are the influEthiopian ences you're drawing from?

NUVO: I read an interview with you where you mentioned that during your teenage years you rebelled against Ethiopian culture and your Ethiopian heritage. ESTER RADA: Like every immigrant child I was confused. My life at home was very different from the world on the outside. I was confused and I wanted to be like everybody else. I asked my mom not to speak to me in the Amharic language. I tried to avoid the Ethiopian within me for a long time. NUVO: Do you feel your music is a tool for creating more acceptance for Ethiopians in Israel? RADA: When I recorded "Nanu Ney" it was the first time an Ethiopian song had been played on Israeli radio. That was a big achievement and I'm very happy about that.
RADA: Yes, Mulatu Astatke is a big inspiration for me. That was the first Ethiopian jazz I ever heard. I really love it. I was very influenced by it and I had to put some of it in my music.
NUVO: I saw you recently performed on a concert bill with the great Ethiopian jazz maestro Hailu Mergia. Are you seeking out collaborations with this older generation of Ethiopian jazz greats and how are they receiving your work in Ethiopia? RADA: Of course I'd love to record a collaboration with those great musicians. I love to do collaborations. I believe that's what music does: It unites. I haven't yet been to Ethiopia but I get a lot of messages from Ethiopia and I hear that they love the music and I'm very proud of that. n

EXCERPTS FROM OUR ONLINE COLUMN “ASK THE SEX DOC” W
e’re back with our resident sex doctor, Dr. Debby Herbenick of Indiana University’s Kinsey Institute. To see even more, go to nuvo.net!
What, what in the butt? Variety! I’m into butt stuff but my wife thinks it’s gross. Any ideas on how to turn her onto the idea. Stuff for both of us not just her. SARAH: Usually, when someone uses the word “gross” to describe sex acts prominently featuring the ol’ chocolate rosebud, they’re referring to the fact that it is still the place where your poop comes from. Also, starting the process of preparing that particular set of muscles to, well, have a dick wedged in there can be uncomfortable. I would phrase it as an opportunity to mix it up, not something you’re pissed at her for not wanting to participate. Good on you, too, for wanting to be a part of the fun, and you might kick it off by getting a prostate-stimulating toy for yourself and just seeing how it feels solo, then invite her to join you if she’s not quite ready for anal play with her own body. If you want to get your salad tossed but your lady doesn’t like the idea of putting her tongue on your poop chute, take a sexy shower together and give her the peace of mind that you’re squeaky-clean down there. Even something as minimal as touching or playing with the back door entrance may ease her into the idea. Just don’t force it, because then you’ll be That Guy.

Potential orgasmic potential
DR. DEBBY HERBENICK & SARAH MURRELL DR. D: “Butt stuff” includes many things, some of which are generally liked by a fair number of people and others which are liked by only a select few. Our research shows that considerably more men find anal sex play appealing compared to the number of women who do and it’s not clear what kinds of chances a person has in helping to change something that’s a turn-off for someone into a turn-on. Sometimes people are successful at getting a partner to agree to participate in a certain behavior but getting people to actually like something they previously thought was “gross” is less likely. Not impossible, mind you, but less likely. It’s important that your wife not feel pressured but that the idea is presented more as an invitation than an ultimatum. You might also consider how you can widen your sexual menu — not just ask her to — as there may be some other things that you both would enjoy exploring. Perhaps you could talk, too, about whether there are kinds of butt play that she’d be open to. For example, maybe she doesn’t want anything in her butt and maybe she doesn’t even want to touch yours but would be open to watching you play with your own, either using your fingers or a prostate stimulator or so on. “Anal Pleasure and Health” by Jack Morin is one of the classic books in this space — although there are books that are newer or more aimed toward women or more salacious, this book is (I think) a little more gentle and welcoming, particularly for people who are not so sure they want anything to do with the anus, so it may be worth a read for the two of you together.

Sex Doc, is an hour too long try and reach organsm? I have never had one and have been sexually active for five years now. Not only have none of my partners ever gotten me there, but I can’t seem to figure it out on my own either. I bought a vibrator about a week ago, but the big “O” still hasn’t happened. I don’t like porn, but should I try watching that? Or look into something else I haven’t tried? Help! SARAH: Maybe you’re pressing too hard on the gas. I know a couple of ladies my age who went for a really powerful vibrator the first time they bought one and
attention to how different things make you feel. You will get there, as long as you don’t psych yourself out about it too much. Feel free to write back with developments, too! DR. D: It’s pretty common for people (especially women, but quite a few men too) to try for 45, 60 minutes or longer to experience orgasm, especially when the are first starting out learning to experience orgasm. It can take time to pay attention to one’s own sexual response and learn from it. Sometimes anxieties and pressures get in the way and slow the process down. Vibrators can help ease orgasm but they aren’t necessarily a magic fix. If you are into porn and find it arousing, then it might help, but if you don’t then it might only make the experience more frustrating. For women who have yet to experience orgasm, I often recommend reading the book “Becoming Orgasmic” by Drs. Julia Heiman and Joseph LoPiccolo - it’s a classic in the field and, though older (last updated in 1988 so ignore the old-school drawings of old-school vibrators and take words like “buxom” with a smile), reading this book continues to help so many women I’ve recommended it to. I suspect you may find a lot of benefit from reading it too and —DR. D. trying out some of the well-paced exercises. Let me know how it goes.

ended up vibing themselves numb before they actually could have an orgasm. If you’re not into porn, maybe you could read some erotic novels or watch some sexy regular movies like 9 ½ Weeks or the more sweat-inducing scenes of Pretty Woman. I’d also remind you that porn is a manysplendored thing these days, not just silicone-enhanced orange hardbodies slapping their flesh together in harsh light like the days of old. (Hint: a lot of porn sites have a “female friendly” channel.) Maybe thumb through some Harry Potter slash fiction forums and finally come to terms with that fantasy. Overall, though, I think you’re putting a little too much pressure on yourself and not spending enough time just playing and exploring. As Debby says below, the most important thing you can do is just pay

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You are destined to become a master of fire. It’s your birthright to become skilled in the arts of kindling and warming and illuminating and energizing. Eventually you will develop a fine knack for knowing when it’s appropriate to turn the heat up high, and when it’s right to simmer with a slow, steady glow. You will wield your flames with discernment and compassion, rarely or never with prideful rage. You will have a special power to accomplish creative destruction and avoid harmful destruction. I’m pleased at the progress you are making toward these noble goals, but there’s room for improvement. During the next eight weeks, you can speed up your evolution. Aries

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus-born physicist Wolfgang Pauli won a Nobel Prize for his research. His accomplishment? The Nobel Committee said he discovered “a new law of nature,” and named it after him: the Pauli Principle. And yet when he was a younger man, he testified, “Physics is much too difficult for me and I wish I were a film comedian or something like that and that I had never heard anything about physics!” I imagine you might now be feeling a comparable frustration about something for which you have substantial potential, Taurus. In the spirit of Pauli’s perseverance, I urge you to keep at it. Taurus

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In 1921, the French city of Biarritz hosted an international kissing contest. After evaluating the participants’ efforts, the panel of judges declared that Spanish kisses were “vampiric,” while those of Italians were “burning,” English were “tepid,” Russians were “eruptive,” French were “chaste,” and Americans were “flaccid.” Whatever nationality you are, Gemini, I hope you will eschew those paradigms — and all other paradigms, as well. Now is an excellent time to experiment with and hone your own unique style of kissing. I’m tempted to suggest that you raise your levels of tenderness and wildness, but I’d rather you ignore all advice and trust your intuition. Gemini

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The astrological omens suggest you could get caught up in dreaming about what might have been. I’m afraid you might cling to outworn traditions and resuscitate wistful wishes that have little relevance for the future. You may even be tempted to wander through the labyrinth of your memories, hoping to steep yourself in old feelings that weren’t even good medicine for you when you first experienced them. But I hope you will override these inclinations, and instead act on the aphorism, “If you don’t study the past, you will probably repeat it.” Right now, the best reason to remember the old days is to rebel against them and prevent them from draining your energy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may laugh more in the next fourteen days than you have during any comparable fourteen-day period since you were five years old. At least I hope you will. It will be the best possible tonic for your physical and mental health. Even more than usual, laughter has the power to heal your wounds, alert you to secrets hiding in plain sight, and awaken your dormant potentials. Luckily, I suspect that life will conspire to bring about this happy development. A steady stream of antics and whimsies and amusing paradoxes is headed your way. Be alert for the opportunities. Leo

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “I feel like a wet seed wild in the hot blind earth,” wrote author William Faulkner. Some astrologers would say that it’s unlikely a Libra would ever say such a thing — that it’s too primal a feeling for your refined, dignified tribe; too lush and unruly. But I disagree with that view. Faulkner himself was a Libra! And I am quite sure that you are now or will soon be like a wet seed in the hot blind earth — fierce to sprout and grow with almost feral abandon. Libra
Aries
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You and I both know that you can heal the sick and raise the dead and turn water into wine — or at least perform the metaphorical equivalent of those magical acts. Especially when the pressure is on, you have the power to attract the help of mysterious forces and unexpected interventions. I love that about you! When people around you are rendered fuzzy and inert by life’s puzzling riddles, you are often the best hope for activating constructive responses. According to my analysis of upcoming cosmic trends, these skills will be in high demand during the coming weeks. Scorpio
Libra
Taurus
Aries
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Some astrologers regard the planet Saturn as a sour tyrant that cramps our style and squelches our freedom. But here’s my hypothesis: Behind Saturn’s austere mask is a benevolent teacher and guide. She pressures us to focus and concentrate. She pushes us to harness and discipline our unique gifts. It’s true that some people resist these cosmic nudges. They prefer to meander all over the place, trying out roles they’re not suited for and indulging in the perverse luxury of neglecting their deepest desires. For them Saturn seems like a dour taskmaster, spoiling their lazy fun. I trust that you Sagittarians will develop a dynamic relationship with Saturn as she cruises through your sign for the next 26 months. With her help, you can deepen your devotion to your life’s most crucial goals. Sagittarius

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The coming weeks will be a favorable time to break a spell you’ve been under, or shatter an illusion you have been caught up in, or burst free from a trance you have felt powerless to escape. If you are moved to seek help from a shaman, witch, or therapist, please do so. But I bet you could accomplish the feat all by yourself. Trust your hunches! Here’s one approach you could try: Tap into both your primal anger and your primal joy. In your mind’s eye, envision situations that tempt you to hate life and envision situations that inspire you love life. With this volatile blend as your fuel, you can explode the hold of the spell, illusion or trance. Capricorn

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Go to the edge of the cliff and jump off. Build your wings on the way down.” So advised author Ray Bradbury. That strategy is too nerve-wracking for a cautious person like me. I prefer to meticulously build and thoroughly test my wings before trying a quantum leap. But I have observed that Aquarius is one of the three signs of the zodiac most likely to succeed with this approach. And according to my astrological calculations, the coming weeks will be a time when your talent for building robust wings in mid-air will be even more effective than usual. Aquarius

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You are being tempted to make deeper commitments and to give more of yourself. Should you? Is it in your interests to mingle your destiny more thoroughly with the destinies of others? Will you benefit from trying to cultivate more engaged forms of intimacy? As is true for most big questions, there are no neat, simple answers. Exploring stronger connections would ultimately be both messy and rewarding. Here’s an inquiry that might bring clarity as you ponder the possibility of merging your fortunes more closely with allies or potential allies: Will deeper commitments with them inspire you to love yourself dearly, treat yourself with impeccable kindness, and be a superb ally to yourself? Pisces
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It’s a favorable time to fantasize about how to suck more cash into your life. You have entered a phase when economic mojo is easier to conjure than usual. Are you ready to engage in some practical measures to take advantage of the cosmic trend? And by that I don’t mean playing the lottery or stealing strangers’ wallets or scanning the sidewalk for fallen money as you stroll. Get intensely real and serious about enhancing your financial fortunes. What are three specific ways you’re ignorant about getting and handling money? Educate yourself.
