Here’s my problem: Obama has been in office for five years and every year my healthcare has gone up, the last two add up to a 50% increase. My employer says it’s due to market adjustments as insurance companies are getting ahead of this ACA. Insurance companies are expected to have higher payouts, meaning they have to charge more to stay profitable. This results in shifting costs onto people like me, which by definition is socialism. There is nothing in the ACA designed to actually fix the problem which is out of control billing practices in an over-regulated healthcare industry. — Donald VanKleeck NUVO // 100% RECYCLED PAPER // 10.02.13 - 10.09.13 // THIS WEEK 3

Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission targets Ogden’s email
F
ree speech. It is a right that we Americans take for granted, especially when it comes to criticizing the work of elected officials. Judges in Indiana are elected officials. At the trial level, they are selected via partisan election. While at the appellate level, they are appointed, they nevertheless sit for periodic retention votes by the electorate. For non-attorneys, what is the best source of information on how those judges are performing? One would think that attorneys, the very people who deal everyday with those judges, would be an excellent resource. But what is not well understood is that an overzealous Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission seeking to stamp out any criticism of judges is restraining attorneys’ First Amendment rights to freedom of speech. The main weapon in the commission’s campaign against attorney free speech is Rule 8.2 of the Indiana Rules of Professional Conduct. That rule is designed to ensure the public’s respect for the judiciary is not undermined. While comments to Rule 8.2 indicate that we attorneys have a duty to speak out about the performance of judges, we are nonetheless subject to sanctions if we do speak out and the content of our speech is deemed to be false or reckless. The Disciplinary Commission insists that Rule 8.2 not only applies to factual assertions, but also to statements of opinions. An example of an opinion statement might be that a judge does not have a good demeanor on the bench or seems biased against certain individuals — let’s say women in divorce proceedings. The commission’s position is that if those opinions cannot be proven true, then the attorney is subject to sanctions under Rule 8.2. Worse yet, the commission insists that the burden is on the attorney to prove the statement to be true, and if it turns out to be false, that the statement was not recklessly made. The chill on attorney free speech created by Rule 8.2 enforcement actions has been substantial. Attorneys know they risk their legal careers if they dare to criticize a judge, even in the midst of a judicial reelection campaign. As I am currently being prosecuted for a Rule 8.2 violation, I know this all too well. However, my disciplinary case takes the commission’s assault on attorney free speech to a new level. I was charged with violating Rule 8.2 because I sent a private email (just to the estate’s attorney and others involved in the case) criticizing the former judge on the case who I believe had

grossly mishandled an estate case costing my client hundreds of thousands of dollars. For what I believe is unprecedented anywhere in the country, the commission is applying Rule 8.2 to private communications. According to the commission, even an attorney out to lunch who dares criticize a judge is subject to Rule 8.2 sanctions for criticizing a judge. In recent filings, the Disciplinary Commission has asked that I be sanctioned by a one-year suspension without right of readmission, which is effectively disbarment. Most Rule 8.2 violations net an attorney a public reprimand or 30 days tops. Sixty days would be extremely severe. Why do I, an attorney who has never been disciplined in 26 years, merit such harsh punishment? Well, according to the commission’s filings I should be harshly penalized because I publicly criticized the commission. Indeed I am undoubtedly the leading attorney critic of the commission. I wrote critically of the commission on my blog in January of 2011, pointing out that, over a three-year period, 397 of 400 published disciplinary cases involved small firm attorneys or sole practitioners. I called for an investigation. Within a few months of that article being published I began to get disciplinary grievances filed against me by Michael Witte, the executive secretary of the commission. My First Amendment rights certainly include the right to criticize the Commission and judges. The U.S. Supreme Court has declared that attorneys have free speech rights just like non-attorneys and disciplinary rules cannot be used to deprive attorneys of the right to speak out. The only exception carved out by the Supreme Court is when the attorney’s public speech is actively interfering with the administration of a pending case. In a misguided effort to protect overly sensitive judges from criticism by using the disciplinary rules, many states are not following Supreme Court precedent. That is unfortunate because the right of attorneys to speak freely about the judiciary is an essential element of the democratic process that puts those judges on the bench. This assault on the First Amendment rights of attorneys cannot continue as long as we are going to ask voters to cast ballots on judges.
WHAT HAPPENED? Getting on board State officials are pressing the deadline on negotiations for taking over Amtrak’s Hoosier State line from Indy to Chicago. Amtrak originally scheduled to discontinue the Hoosier State route on Oct. 1 if Indiana did not provide funding, Amtrak agreed to push this back to mid-October while negotiations between the rail company, the state and other local partners continue. The Indiana Department of Transportation on Thursday released a 47-page cost-benefit analysis prepared by consultant CDM Smith, which concluded that “elimination of the Hoosier State” is the only option to have “a beneficial positive effect on positive cost vs. benefit.” But that statement is not as black and white as one might imagine. Study authors found Indiana — like other states that have tried like strategies with their own shorter-distance routes — stands to gain ridership and revenue for the Hoosier State if the schedule is tweaked and performance improved. Still, the capital costs of improving the line to prepare for faster speed and better, more-frequent service outstrip the estimated revenue collected from tickets. However, they wrote, “Capital improvements could be avoided or minimized until ridership justifies the expenditure.” Study authors said the decision to save the line would have benefits that could not be factored into a typical bottom-line analysis: “In addition to greater connectivity, passenger rail can improve economic productivity, boost local spending, create jobs, improve freight service, and improve the overall quality of life in the region.” Some of the other advantages thought to accompany the various line improvement alternatives include net annual carbon dioxide emissions reductions of 7,500-14,100 metric tons and elimination of an estimated 350-670 car trips a day. On Sept. 30, Amtrak’s media relations manager Marc Magliari sent the following email update: “I can confirm we are in talks with INDOT for a short-term agreement to prevent a Hoosier State service interruption by mid-October, so as to allow time to negotiate a longerterm contract.” INDOT confirmed Amtrak’s summary.

LAWSUIT OVER STATE PARK’S FATAL TRAP Dog dies as it stumbles across unmarked trap during walk with owner BY L O RI L O V EL Y EDITORS@NUVO.NET
T
he Center for Wildlife Ethics, a nonprofit organization dedicated to wildlife conservation through justice and education, is financially supporting a lawsuit against the Director of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, the Indiana Natural Resource Commission, the Versailles State Park Manager, and the man who placed, owned and is responsible for the trap that killed a park visitor’s dog. In December 2011, Melodie Liddle walked her two leashed dogs down a public path to Laughery Creek at Versailles State Park to get a drink. Copper, a 10-year-old mixed breed, was ensnared by a trap concealed on the bank approximately one foot from the water’s edge. She reported hearing “horrific screaming” from her dog, telling the Madison Courier and Cincinnati TV station WLWT that “as she’s flailing and pulling and trying to free herself, and as I’m trying to open the trap, because she’s wet and in the water, it slipped down upon her neck and immediately crushed her trachea ... so she died right there in the water. I just couldn’t save her.”
Putting their foot in it The trap that ensnared and killed Copper was one of 25 used as part of the park’s Nuisance Wildlife Management Program to catch raccoons, in response to complaints from campers. Since 2005, 300 raccoons have been captured in the park. State law authorizes raccoon trapping from Nov. 8 through Jan. 31. According to spokesman Phil Bloom, the DNR grants a permit to one licensed trapper per park. Each trapper is expected to follow national guidelines set by the Fish & Wildlife Federation about trap placement. They are typically set in overgrown difficult-to-access areas where there’s evidence of animal activity. The seven-inch-wide Conibear 220 is a very powerful trap. “It’s meant to kill,” said Lawrence M. Reuben, the attorney representing Liddle. “It’s not meant for small animals.” Concealed in a cubby (wooden frame) box, it has a fourway trigger that fires when an animal pushed the trigger from any direction. “The frightening part,” Reuben said, “is what if that was a child? The implications are ghastly.” The implications of the lawsuit are exposure of improprieties in the DNR’s processes. DNR circumvented its own rules requiring signage for traps. The Emergency

Copper, a 10-year-old mixed breed, was ensnared by a trap concealed on a creek bank. As she struggled to free herself, the trap crushed her trachea, killing her in front of her owner and the family’s other dog.
Rules require “reasonable and conscientious effort to properly notify visitors,” adding that “notice shall include posting at places of entry.” However, Reuben noted, “There was no signage generally in the park or near the trap to alert anyone of the inherent danger. When we asked why it wasn’t posted, the reason we were given is that they thought people would react badly and be scared away from the park. It’s disturbing.”
Point of law
Emergency extensions Indiana code provides the director of the DNR with authority to adopt emergency rules that expire no later than one year after filing. CWE found six separate occasions since November 12, 2007 when the DNR promulgated the same emergency rules to “temporarily” amend the code regarding the taking of wild animals in state parks.

IMA: AND THEN THERE WERE NONE…
Taking stock of personnel losses at the Indianapolis Museum of Art BY S CO TT S H O G ER SSHOGER@NUVO.NET
With last week’s departure of curator Sarah Green, the contemporary art department at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, which began the year with two curators and one hard-working assistant in place, is down to zero. Here’s the rundown: Curatorial assistant Amanda York, who did the heavy lifting for projects like the Indianapolis Island residency, was laid off in March during a “strategic restructuring” effort that included an 11 percent reduction in personnel. Lisa Freiman, the senior curator and chair of the contemporary art department and a curator at the IMA since 2002, left the museum in May to head Virginia Commonwealth University’s Institute for Contemporary Art. Under her tenure, the IMA opened 100 Acres, its art and nature park, and hosted the U.S. Pavilion at the 2011 Venice Biennale. Green, who led the charge in bringing the first full-scale North American show of work by Chinese activist and artist Ai Weiwei to the museum, is leaving to create a PBS web series, The Art Assignment, alongside her husband, author and vlogger John Green (turn to pg. 15 for more on the series). “I am truly, genuinely thrilled about what I’m going to be doing next,” says Green, who had been with the IMA since 2007. “And I feel very comfortable saying that my vision doesn’t align with (CEO Charles) Venable’s. It’s kind of a blessing in disguise for me because if I hadn’t been compelled to leave there, I wouldn’t be in the place I am right now.” Green says she “teed up” a few shows for the museum before her departure, includ-

“We’ve obviously made some difficult decisions,” says June McCormack, the chair of the museum’s board of governors. “Change is difficult, and for some people making that change is something they may not want to do. But we’re very supportive of Dr. Venable and the directions he’s moving in in terms of supporting a sound business model.” Museum leadership has already taken heat for losses in its conservation department, which was presented the 2013 Ross Merrill Award for Outstanding Commitment to the Preservation and Care of Collections this May, a month after the IMA announced its restructuring plan. The American Institute for Conservation decided to present the award despite the

layoffs in order to send a message to current leadership. The group’s executive director Eryl Wentworth told Modern Art Notes in May: “Following news of the cuts, we determined that the presentation of this award to the IMA, along with our support of the conservation staff and their work over many years, is an opportunity to impart to the IMA leadership the significance of the museum’s conservation and collections outreach activities, locally and nationally, and the importance of supporting these efforts in the future.” Richard McCoy, a conservator of objects and variable art at the IMA from 20032013, was among those laid off during the restructuring process. Above all, he’s concerned that the museum will no longer be the kind of place he wants to go with his family on the weekend, where he “can be challenged by or fall in love” with engaging artwork and original projects. “I know the talent that left this year, and I know what it took to build that highlevel talent over the past five or so years,” McCoy says. “It’s possible that Venable’s art-for-all approach could be highly successful here in Indianapolis, but I know a lot of people are disappointed by the loss of the contemporary department and the early departure of R. Craig Miller. In the end, I’m optimistic that the IMA will be able to rebuild these programs. But until then it seems like it’s going to be a tough road because you can’t afford to lose any one audience in Indianapolis; to be successful, you have to have them all.”

in September for the Rochester Institute of Technology after four years with the museum. And September saw a big departure in terms of community outreach: Petra Slinkard, the curatorial associate of textiles and fashion arts and the key organizer behind Project IMA, an annual fashion show featuring local designers, left after six-plus years at the museum for the Chicago History Museum. Venable views these departures as typical for any major institution and stresses that the IMA — and its versatile portfolio of properties — remains a force to be reckoned with. “If you look back at any institution between directors or after a major change in the financial position of an institution, you’ll see very, very similar patterns and very similar and divergent points of view, particularly from the outside if you’re not living and breathing inside an institution all day long,” he says. “The thing that gives us such a great advantage is that we’re a great art museum, but we’re so much more than just that. While we clearly will continue to focus on art and programming of extraordinary quality, we also have our botanical gardens, we have 100 Acres, we own the Miller House and its gardens down in Columbus. Those are extraordinary assets that few museums can compete with in this country, and I think that will give us a stability that some other museums won’t have.” The IMA’s board, for its part, has no doubt about the direction Venable is headed.

When the REInvestment campaign began at Earlham, the goal was to convince the administration to rid the campus of endowment investments in coal extraction companies. At that point, Davis didn’t know much about the coal industry, let alone how successful the campaign would be. Now, two years later, Davis is in the critical stages of a movement to save her college, to save her community and to save the world. Davis, along with her many student colleagues, is a leader in Earlham’s coal divestment movement. “I feel like I have just woken up in the past year about the current situations (local) communities are put in against their will. It’s not just coal that is violating these communities (in Indiana), it’s (communities) all over the country and all over the world that are affected by major fossil fuel corporations,” she said. “Environmental Studies wasn’t what I was planning to pursue when I came to college. Over the last few years, there have been a lot of different campaigns and groups (on campus) that affected my decision. The more I got involved, I realized not only how (fossil fuel extraction) affects the physical world, but how it violates human rights.” Now, after spending a summer interning for the Environmental Protection Agency and preparing for another year on the climate change battlefront at Earlham, Davis continues to work to get her college to commit to divesting from coal, and hopefully, exploring fossil fuel divestment in the future. But Davis is not alone, the grassroots fossil-free divestment movement is spreading like a virus — like an earth-shattering, taking-the-campus-by-the-gonads, ideal-changing virus — thanks to Indiana students. For some campuses, this virus hit before 350.org and environmental writer Bill McKibben’s Do The Math Tour. For others, the Do The Math Tour was all the students needed to encourage petitions, rallies, forums and workshops.
A voice for the Earlham campus Recent Earlham-graduate-turned-sustainability-coordinator Sarah Waddle has seen the movement bloom at Earlham. Now as an employee, it’s her job to make sure the college is doing all it can to become sustainable, and that includes working with student activists like Davis. Earlham, being a Quaker institution, is governed by committee, encouraging students, faculty and administrators to take part in the decision making for the college. The Socially Responsible Investing Advisory Committee (SRIAC) is tasked to evaluate the social responsibility of the college’s endowment. The Earlham College Socially Responsible Investment Policy formalized the college’s intent “to minimize investing in the securities of companies whose overall behavior results in irresponsible use of the natural environment and/or denigrates the dignity of individuals.” The SRIAC dictates Waddle’s job duties, and it also holds her and the campus’ sustainability endeavors accountable. “Earlham has a long history of students being really active in campaigns about a huge variety of things. The more that students can show the administration that they really understand the nuances of how the college works as a business and how it 10

works as an organization — the politics of running a college — the more they can show they have a really clear grasp on this, the more seriously the college is going to take them,” Waddle said. And the college is taking the REInvestment campaign seriously. “I think that at this point we are not at any position to announce that the college plans to divest it’s endowment, but I think what we can say is that the dialog between the students and the Socially Responsible Investing Advisory Committee is going in a really positive direction and I would expect to see really excellent moves being taken by the college in the coming year,” Waddle said. Transparency is an enormous hurdle for most divestment campaigns at other universities, but for the Earlham divestment movement, transparency is not an issue. However, that doesn’t mean the battle has been won. There is still a lot of work to be done and Davis only has two years left to make significant achievements. The next goal for the REInvestment campaign? To get the administration to set a divestment deadline, then take the campaign to the next level. The responsible investment organization As You Sow cites the following disadvantages of investing in coal in its 2012 report “Financial Risks of Investments in Coal”: • Capital expenditures for environmental compliance and uncertainty about the cost implications of pending and anticipated environmental mandates. • Persistently high construction costs. • Coal price volatility, rising costs for mining, and shifting markets all placing upward pressure on coal prices. • Competition from low prices of natural gas and other energy sources, which is exerting downward pressure on power prices. • Improved profitability and policy preferences for solar, wind, and energy efficiency investments. • The slow pace of development of viable commercial scale carbon capture and storage for coal plants. Davis knows there are options for reinvestment, but now she needs to make the university understand that stable and sustainable clean energy options will continue to flourish. “Our next big goal has always been to divest from coal extraction companies, but overall I think fossil fuels is something we’d(?) like to look into. Our official request is in constant flux because we are continuing dialog with our administration,” Davis said. From putting together reports for the administration on social injustices due to coal extraction to education on campus, Earlham is making strides to create a sustainable future. Tom Bensman of Earth Charter said it can be easier for grassroots divestment campaigns to find more success on smaller, private and religious colleges and universities than large public institutions. “I think that the colleges that have religious affiliations where you can talk about God, creation, care and earth justice, (divestment) really should be part of their mission. Those are the colleges that hold the most hope. Once one college in Indiana becomes the first to do this then there is pressure,” Bensman said. He travels to colleges and universities

around Indiana talking to students about earthjustice, sustainability and activism. He said the education of young people is one instrumental factor in ensuring a lesshellish future for the world. “My door onto campuses is through faculty members. I’m encouraging students that whatever you feel passionate about as a citizen of a democracy that you want to change, now is the time to go for it and be as courageous as you can be,” he said.
Driving force for Divest DePauw Across the state, a fellow student activist, Carlie Vaughn of DePauw University in Greencastle waits for the fall semester to start. It is an especially vital time for her campus, for her campaign and for Indiana because Vaughn is waiting for a response from the administration. Will they invest in the world’s future by divesting from fossil fuels or will they hid behind their portfolio and wait for another school to be the first in Indiana to divest? While Earlham’s campaign predates Bill McKibben’s “Do The Math,” the movement
at DePauw was spurred by this countrywide initiative. Students started a petition in December of 2012; by April Divest DePauw had 600 signatures — at a school of just over 2,000. Divest DePauw’s request is for the administration to immediately freeze any new investment in fossil-fuel companies, and to divest within five years from direct ownership and from any commingled funds that include fossil-fuel public equities and corporate bonds. Vaughn said while the administration has been open to the discussion, transparency of the endowment and public perception is the biggest issue. “We are not very big and we are private, but we do have quite a bit of money,” she said. “I’m hoping we can be a role model for other schools and that the administration just wants other people to step up before they do. Five colleges have agreed to divest (through the Do The Math tour) and the administration at DePauw is not seeing that as a big impact because none of those colleges are exactly like us.”
Vaughn, like many other divestment activists, said divestment is not about students giving the administration a new portfolio proposal. She said it’s not about the marketing plug that the campus has “gone green.” She said it’s about social justice and righting the wrongs done to communities surrounded by fossil-fuelextraction companies. “People need to see this not as a movement about money. It’s not about fighting the administration. It’s about fighting the fossil fuel industries and making them the enemy and not the administration,” Vaughn said. “People need to realize this is against the fossil fuel industry. When you dive into it, you can lose track of who the enemy is.” Kelvin Ho, Great Lakes coordinator for 350.org, said divestment campaigns can be a huge challenge for students because many S E E , C A M P U S , O N P A G E 12 NUVO // 100% RECYCLED PAPER // 10.02.13 - 10.09.13 // COVER STORY 11

Students from 60 colleges and universities in the US and Canada gathered at Swarthmore College to learn the ins and outs of divestment campaigns and plan for the future of the national campaign.
CAMPUS , FROM PAGE 11 expect they need to be an expert on finance, investments or bureaucratic institutions. Ho said that’s not the case. Simply having a strong, loud voice and the passion to hold people accountable for their actions is enough. “Often times we find that universities begin to bring up these concerns of how exactly they are going to rearrange the portfolio and whatnot more as a way of avoiding the actual question. More of these investment managers are paid more than $100,000 a year and their job is to understand the investments. We can’t expect students to really know all the nitty-gritty of how to rearrange a university’s investment portfolio. But what we do know is that collectively as people on this earth we cannot simply afford to put in the amount of money in the fossil fuel industry as it stands,” he said. Ho travels around the Midwest speaking with students and educating about 350.org’s integral mission: encouraging students to push their universities to divest from the 200 companies with the largest carbon reserves, that can include coal, natural gas, tar sands oil and more. Grassroots activism has a long history when it comes to college students, Ho explained, not only because as young people they have the most at stake. There’s a long history behind the grassroots activism spawned from small, dingy dorm rooms on college campuses. When it comes to divestment, these young college kids have a lot at stake. Their entire future is at stake. “If we really want to avert the consequences that many climate scientists are
telling us — there is not much time left,” Ho said. “Often times it’s really the young people that spark larger movements and we thought that the divestment campaigns are something that can be run on every single university in the country that has some sort of endowment. It’s very scalable in that sense.”
Moving from the campus to the community Since the popularization of divestment through nationwide campaigns, the movement is beginning to go beyond campus boundaries. The idea of divestment is spreading to municipalities. As of the summer of 2013, there were 17 cities that have committed to divesting their holdings from fossil fuel companies including Seattle, Portland, Ore., San Francisco, Providence, R.I., Boulder, Co., and Madison, Wis. Ho said he wouldn’t be surprised if that number grew significantly over the next few years. “Since then it’s gone beyond the university and has spread to divestment campaigns at the municipal level,” Ho said. “There are also a growing number of religious institutions pushing for divestment along with art museums and whatnot. We are seeing the movement rapidly spread to all sectors of society.” Still, the fossil fuel industry receives an enormous subsidy from the federal government, which driving common misconceptions of its relative market competitiveness with energy sources such as wind and solar. Ultimately, the divestment movement aims to change the public discourse on energy, causing reconsideration of the role of fossil fuels in our lives and a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. “Divestment connects very well with

the stark reality that we simply cannot afford to burn the amount of reserves of fossil fuels that companies own,” Ho said. “There’s a carbon bubble that needs to be popped. That is why we are really going after the fossil fuel industry — and at the financial level.”

HOW CAN I START MY OWN MOVEMENT? So you’re inspired, huh? You want to make a difference and hopefully change the world? Thanks to tips from Earlham student Vesta Davis and DePauw student Carlie Vaughn, you can. The two campaign leaders want you to ask yourself these following questions. Once you have those questions honestly answered, you’ll be ready to build a campaign. HOW TO GUIDE FOR GRASSROOTS DIVESTMENT CAMPAIGN: 1. Why are you passionate about this? 2. How much time do you want to put into this? 3. What kind of groups do you want to work with? 4. Where do you want to see your administration/government take this? 5. How can you make the campaign unique to what your campus/city needs? UNDERSTAND YOUR BUREAUCRACY How do you get a change made in your institution? What is the chain of command? What do you know about those people in that chain? Answering those questions and understanding the way of thinking will help you plan and customize your campaign to be the most effective it can be.
BUILD A SUPPORT SYSTEM Who do you know will take the time and effort to commit to the campaign? How do you plan on gaining new activists? How do you plan on keeping that support system? Remember, no campaign to save the world is ever easy. You need people that are willing to commit to the cause and keep going no matter what roadblocks the group endures. LOOK FOR WAYS TO SPREAD THE WORD The more the merrier, right? If that’s the case, you will need to build your following of activists. From rallies to forums and education to training, the louder the voice of the group the more you will be heard, and taken seriously by your institution. REMEMBER YOUR PURPOSE Don’t lose focus during your campaign. Find your mission and stick with it. As DePauw student Carlie Vaughn said, it can be easy to forget who the real enemy is. Remember, divestment campaigns are up against the fossil fuel companies, not the university president, not the city mayor. Are you ready to start your own movement? It doesn’t take much to get a campaign off the ground. Simply visit gofossilefree.org or wearethepowershift. org to start a petition in your area.

The Honolulu-based Zhou, who received his Ph.D. in furniture design and manufacturing from Purdue in 2008, is one of 24 Indiana-connected artists whose work is part of Fearless Furniture, an invitational and juried studio furniture show opening Oct. 5 at the Indiana State Museum. “A good number of artists are from Indiana or still practicing here, but we also have artists from different parts of the country [Ohio, Maine, Michigan, Hawaii] who trained here and then moved on,” says Mark Ruschman, chief curator of fine arts at Indiana State Museum. “So these are people who were born here trained here, or went to one of our significant schools. And so that ‘Hoosier’ is there, but you have to believe they’re influenced by their surroundings as well.” Twenty-one artists were selected through a juried process overseen by internationally renowned artist Wendy Maruyama, professor emeritus of woodworking and design at San Diego State University. Three other artists were invited to the exhibition. While there isn’t a stridently Hoosier theme to the

studio furniture that Maruyama selected — no corncob chairs, for example — the show does highlight the place of the Midwest in the art of furniture making, according to David Buchanan, curator of decorative arts and furniture at Indiana State Museum. “A lot of people tend to think East Coast/West Coast — and not Heartland — when it comes to studio-made pieces,” he says. “Indiana has a huge tradition of furniture making. It goes way back to the 1840s. It still continues today. If you look at the Dunbar Company, they’ve got a worldwide reputation. They no longer exist, but their furniture is incredibly well known. Karges, which is still making furniture in Evansville, has a worldwide reputation for quality. That’s one of the aspects of the show: we’re showing it still goes on. It’s not ended yet.

ducers in veneers in furniture.” A piece by Forestville, Wisc.- based Jim Rose, “Galvanized chest,” refers to another long-standing Hoosier tradition: quilting. “In this case Rose purchased scrap metal steel from a grain elevator from his neighbor’s farm,” says Meredith McGovern, arts and culture collections manager at Indiana State Museum. “And so he worked with that steel and he overlapped the pieces to create this quilt-like look. And you can see where he’s working with the natural patinas of that steel to create the look of the quilt in addition to the pattern he designed. How cool is that? He’s looking at his neighbor’s farm, the grain elevator, and says, ‘I want that steel.’” McGovern had the opportunity to visit a number of artists’ studios and to see them practicing their crafts. A video, which documents her visits, will be a part of the exhibition. Another highlighted artist, Randy O’Donnell, is based in Brown County. “His work is just incredible,” says Buchanan. “He does it all in the traditional style and methods of the 18th century. He’s trying to highlight that you can have art pieces that are fully functional and it’s not necessarily ultramodern that’s always art. It’s just high quality craftsmanship, no matter what style.” Fearless Furniture’s exhibition space is designed to look like a house, complete with faux windows that you can look through. You’ll find Zhou’s “Axe Chair” in front of the one real window in the space, looking out on the tree-shaded exterior of the museum. Zhou’s piece uses part of the tree that’s typically wasted in tree harvesting. It’s title is “a play on words,” says Buchanan. “Where we’re placing it you can look straight past it to the trees outside, so there’s a connection to the functionality of it.”

t was a “blessing in disguise,” Sarah Green says of her exit last week from the Indianapolis Museum of Art, where she’d worked as a curator of contemporary art since 2007. “If I hadn’t felt compelled to leave there, I wouldn’t be in the place I am right now.” And it’s a place she’s “truly, genuinely” thrilled to be in. Sarah is partnering with her husband, the YA author and expert vlogger John Green, to launch The Art Assignment, a weekly show for PBS Digital Studios. Sarah Green, the project’s creator, will host; John Green is on board as an executive producer and will often serve as an on-camera everyman without Sarah’s knowledge of art history.

one of its traditional, terrestrial channels. Each 8-10 minute episode of The Art Assignment will profile a working artist, who will then in turn issue an “art assignment” to viewers. For Sarah, it’s a way of tapping into the Internet’s DIY culture, where people are being creative even if they aren’t aware that what they’re creating could very well be labeled as art. “Silly memes like planking aren’t too dissimilar from early conceptual art ideas, where an artwork consisted of the documentation of instructions given to an artist,” Sarah says. “I think there are a lot of people
who are or would be or will be interested in contemporary art if they realize how broad the field is now. People get stymied in this idea of what art can or should be. But it’s a multi-disciplinary phenomenon now.” While each artist will ultimately determine the assignment he or she gives to viewers, Sarah will play a role in shaping the series’ syllabus, so that, by end of the season, viewers will have the opportunity to work on a variety of assignments, from video to sound pieces, and not just drawings, paintings and photos. Through it all, she aims to present contemporary art as a “highly accessible” entity. “The show won’t be so much about the artist-as-genius, but more about showing what the creative process really looks like,” she says. “We want to show people that they shouldn’t be afraid of creating an assignment.” Sarah still thinks of herself as a curator in her new role, which will find her meeting
with a variety of artists and making studio visits. Her shows at the IMA included Andy Warhol Industries, which considered Warhol as a businessperson (and was, appropriately enough, sponsored by PNC Bank); and Graphite, which explored recent, innovative use of the titular material. She also led the charge in bringing the first, full-scale North American show of work by Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei to the museum this spring. The Greens are working with a largely Indianapolis-based crew on the series, including members of the production team behind John Green’s fast-paced, educational series Crash Course. Sarah is taking cues from that series in terms of pacing and editing: “The brilliance of Crash Course has been its ability to present information quickly — and also with a good amount of nuance.” She plans for each show to include a one-minute animated segment illustrating the art historical background for any given art assignment. The Art Assignment has a one-year contract with PBS, though more seasons may follow. “There are so many artists in mind that I want to work with, and I won’t be able to work with them all within a year,” Sarah says.

Also on the bill: Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 5 in B-flat, for which Urbanski prepared his players well: good precision, good articulation, good tempo choices.

The Theatre Within launches season with play about AIDS support group B Y K A TEL Y N CO Y N E EDITORS@NUVO.NET

ll people, and characters, are holy in The Theatre Within’s production of The Raft of Medusa. Such an approach is in line with the philosophy of The Church Within — and The Theatre Within is an outreach ministry of the church, with a mission to produce work that “raises the awareness of societal issues, turning them on their edge, inviting challenge, change and positive impact.” “I’ve been attending the church for about a year now, on and off,” says Director Jenni White. “I do believe in the tenets of the church. They only have three. It’s not a traditional church. It’s not Christian; it’s not Buddhist; it’s not any of those things. It’s the church within, and knowing that everything we need is right inside of us.” That idea of the “church within” resonates through all of White’s work. “That all people are holy is really where the connection is with me and how I choose to be in the world, the theater that I choose to be a part of as an actor and director,” she says. “All people really are holy and have something to offer.” Borrowing its title from a painting by French romanticist Theodore Gericault, The Raft of Medusa depicts the AIDS epidemic of the 1990s through several characters attending a support group to cope with the disease. “Each person is really grappling with their own mortality and how they can find answers to what has happened to them, but it’s really almost a period piece now,” says White. “The treatment plans have changed, the medications have changed, all these things have changed.” White also sees the show as an allegory for the digital age. A plot twist places the media in the center of the play’s climatic action. “Media plays a role in our ability to really take the time that we need to digest the information given to us, to process it in whatever fashion is authentic to us,” she says. “The evolution of ready access to media has, I think, gotten in the way of some of that important human work. [To] not have access, necessarily, to all of the information all of the time, only then, can we really take that time to heal.” But for White the real meat of the play is about the ensemble. Playwright Joseph Pintauro calls for “virtuoso ensemble work” in the book’s preface. “[My aesthetic] really comes down to being authentic to the human aspect of the

characters involved,” says White. “It really boils down to the relationships that are created on stage and with the audience.” White describes a sort of unexpected “group” coming together between her actors during table work. “[We are] really getting that sense of ensemble — talking over each other, interrupting each other, knowing when it’s your turn to speak, and not knowing it was happening until it was over,” she says. “It’s really a matter of discovering how those
group dynamics play out [and] getting a sense of each other’s presence.” Compassion is also White’s day job, as the adult services director of Coburn Place, a transitional housing program for survivors of domestic violence. “Its part of my everyday living and breathing,” says White. “It all comes back to the energy that we put into the world and the energy that we take back from the world. It’s a reciprocal relationship.” As part of her work with Coburn Place and to fundraise for the organization, White has helped produce Eve Ensler’s The Vagina Monologues 14 times in ten years. A tattoo on her left wrist penned in Ensler’s handwriting reads “wake up,” urging White to continue her work. “Every day I look at it and remember to stay engaged,” she says. “The work that I choose to do in theater has to be in line with that.”

German goalkeeper Kristian Nicht will anchor Indy Eleven’s defense. Indy Eleven: New goalie, new jerseys German goalkeeper Kristian Nicht is the first footballer to sign with Indy Eleven, the team announced Tuesday during a fan celebration at the Rathskellar. Nicht is a veteran of the Bundesliga, Germany’s pro league, and most recently played with the Rochester Rhinos, a USL pro team. When he was named USL Player of the Week in May 2012, during his first year with the Rhinos, his club made USL/Major League Soccer history as the first in 17 seasons to open a season with six straight shutout wins. The team also unveiled its new Hondasponsored Diadora jerseys — white for away games and the jury is still out on the home color — blue or red. The team is conducting a fan poll on the matter. Check out the designs at NUVO.NET. No Dream season for The Fever A long road towards repeating as champions came to an end, but not without a fight, when the Fever were knocked out of the WNBA Eastern Conference Finals last week, losing two in a row to the Atlanta Dream. The Fever lost the second game in the best-of-three series at home, 67-53. Fever forward Tamika Catchings acknowledged after the game that it’s been tough for the team to recover from injuries and other setbacks. “We showed a lot of adversity all season long ... and to go out and fight the way we did.” But there’s always next season: “Next year’s team will be different. One or two players will be gone, and you know everything changes. So you kinda live in the moment ... we had a great year.” Head to nuvo.net for more photos from the Sept. 29 loss.

ne of the casualties of the crazy violence that erupted in and around local nightclubs this summer will be kept alive in spirit by the efforts of his family, friends, coaches and several local soccer interests. Ivy Tech student Felix Achoch, 21, was set to try out this summer for the Indy Eleven’s inaugural season squad. But early in the morning on July 22, a group attacked Achoch outside at Club Tadkaa, 4150 Lafayette Road. Suffering from massive brain injuries, Achoch died July 30. IMPD considers Achoch’s unsolved killing to be a homicide caused by multiple instances of blunt force trauma to the head. Huss Sadri a coach and manager with the Central Indiana Amateur Soccer Association, remembers Achoch as “a very competitive and dedicated team player … extremely humble, modest about his accomplishments, passive, non-argumentative,” noting “Felix’s exceptional soccer abilities earned him two critical tryouts during spring and summer of 2013: 1) Kenyan under 23 national team and 2) Indy Eleven tryouts.” Huss, along with James Cormack, a fellow club manager and Achoch fan, attended the Indy Eleven tryout session in which Achoch was scheduled to attend. Bewildered when he did not show, Huss reached out to Achoch on Facebook only to hear from Achoch’s girlfriend about the attack. “When I found out what had happened to him I was speechless. I thought how could anyone in their right mind tragically attack this defenseless young man, he can’t even hurt a fly,” Huss wrote in an Oct. 1 email. “It was definitely a cowardly sick attack from a bunch of worthless individuals … They can’t be human!!” In response to the shock, the family decided to honor Achoch’s spirit even as they continue to seek justice.

The first, and most effective, is quickmoving and factual, relating the stories of watershed sessions with Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin and The Rolling Stones.

Clueless Lothario meets Hollywood addict in surprisingly good Don Jon

S
ex is a form of communication. I was taught that when I was 13, and it made the notion of someday getting naked — naked! — with another person and doing incredibly intimate stuff less intimidating. I mean, it was still scary, but I figured if I just established communication with the other person, both in words and with our b-b-b-bodies, there was the outside chance I might get through the encounter without dying of embarrassment. Don Jon, written, directed and starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, deals with a young man who draws considerable satisfaction, and a large portion of his fashion sense, from Internet porn. He enjoys sex with lots of women, but prefers porn because it allows him to get “lost” in a way he cannot during a real world rendezvous. Jon (Gordon-Levitt) begins dating a young woman whose relationship expectations appear to be based on romantic comedies. They are drawn to each other — they look so good together! — but it soon becomes clear that “what we’ve got here is (a) failure to communicate.” The slight, effective story is about a clueless man who tries to go from point A to point B. It looks like a short, obvious journey from our vantage point, but it isn’t for Jon. Don Jon is set just down the street from where the characters in Saturday Night Fever lived. Jon (Gordon-Levitt) is a good-looking fellow with a gym-sculpted body (just like the guys in the porn clips!), slicked back hair and a square jaw. He doesn’t swagger so much as walk purposefully with a swaggering undertone. Don Jon (nicknamed for his way with women) is a self-created exaggeration of a human inspired by the porn world, where the men have bulging muscles and plus-size dicks, and the woman have huge breasts and va-va-voom asses to complement them. Barbara (Scarlett Johansson), Jon’s potential girlfriend, is a self-created exaggeration of a human inspired by kicky romcom women,

and she expects her men to behave like proper romcom dreamboats. Both self-creations are strongly influenced by their environment as well, so there’s a dose of Jersey Shore in their style and values. The supporting players, including Jon’s parents (Gleanne Headly and — good to see him — Tony Danza), are stereotypes. That may be commentary by Gordon-Levitt on people falling into roles rather than daring to live freestyle, or it may be lazy writing. Either way, it fits the film’s motif. Later, Esther (Julianne Moore) enters Jon’s life. She’s older, earthier and doesn’t act like anyone he’s ever met. The richness of Moore’s character makes me suspect that the stereotypical characters are indeed deliberate.
Gordon-Levitt directs the film in a snappy, in-your-face fashion befitting his lead character’s porn-ish macho persona. Meanwhile, Nathan Johnson offers a lush score that would fit nicely in a Douglas Sirk ‘50s romance. The contrasting styles work together very well. There’s lots of humor in Don Jon, but no smirking at Jon’s sexual habits. I liked that. I also liked Jon’s matter-of-fact approach to masturbation. He understands it’s a normal, healthy activity, but appears to have no idea that everybody doesn’t do it as often as him (his record is 11 times in one day). While I enjoyed the repeated scenes of his confessions at church, I wondered what the inclusion of numerous scenes of him on the road hollering at other drivers was all about. And I wonder why the film suggested that one should choose between masturbation and sex with a partner. Don’t most people do both? Regardless, Don Jon is a nice surprise. I feared the movie would be a skeevy drag, but Joseph Gordon-Levitt, already established as a topflight actor, makes it shine, proving himself to be a promising writer-director as well.
CONTINUING Rush r I’ve not been a fan of filmmaker Ron Howard’s work since he demonized fighter Max Baer for dramatic purposes in Cinderella Man, but I must grudgingly admit that Rush is a good movie. Howard presents an exciting, interesting look at the 1970s rivalry between Formula 1 race car drivers James Hunt (Chris “Thor” Hemsworth), a British playboy who smoked weed before races and often got drunk afterward and Niki Lauda (Daniel Bruhl from Inglorious Basterds), an Austrian who prepares meticulously for

Enough Said e A highly entertaining reminder that James Gandolfini was a multifaceted artist who was much more than just Tony Soprano. He’s a divorced dad, and Eva (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) is a masseuse dreading the upcoming departure of her daughter for college. Their romantic pairing seems unlikely at first, but they make a great couple. Writer/director Nicole Holofcener’s screenplay has a few bumpy spots, but comedy, drama and romance intertwine in a winning fashion thanks to the leads. PG-13, At Keystone Art
Prisoners e Dark, disturbing, extremely well-crafted psychological thriller. On Thanksgiving, the daughters of Hugh Jackman and Maria Bello, and Terrence Howard and Viola Davis disappear. Teen son Dylan Minnette remembers a van parked on the street earlier. The detective (Jake Gyllenhaal) finds the driver, an addled man who barely speaks.

GRAPE SENSE
BY HOWARD HEWITT Leaves are turning yellow, soon to be glorious red and brown. Can the frost on the pumpkin be far behind? Across the Midwest the grape harvest has been underway for 3-4 weeks, with another week or two likely in some areas. But don’t leave summer behind just yet. There will be mild and warm days in October perfect to clear the shelves of those summer wines. Here are a few easy-to-find lighter style white and Rosé wines I’ve enjoyed this summer. • Domaine Ott Rosé – The 2011 Les Domaniers was still on the shelves early this summer but the 2012 shouldn’t be hard to find. Wonderful floral scents with a well-rounded mouth feel that will hold up to BBQ and bigger meals or sip fine all alone. It’s a classic blend of Grenache, Cinsault, and Syrah. ($19) • Whispering Angel Rosé – My absolute favorite Rosé from Château d’Esclans of Provence represents Southern France’s best effort at pink wine. The 2012 is dry, light, and still delivers full flavor. It’s fabulous Rosé for the price point. ($16-$23)
• David Hill 2011 Estate Pinot Gris – This has bright and pronounced acidity with aromas of stone fruit. Many of these white wines don’t offer much of a finish but David Hill delivers. Try this with some grill shrimp on the BBQ. It’s great white wine from Oregon’s Willamette Valley. ($18, Trade Sample) • Franciscan 2012 Equilibrium – Red blends are all the rage so why not a good California white blend? Franciscan makes great wines and reasonable prices. The blend is a mix of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Muscat. It’s a well-balanced glass of wine with a hit of peach. It would be a perfect match to a salad or spicy food. ($23, Trade Sample) • Joly Blanc 2011 – Okay, it’s pretty cool to say you have a friend, maybe acquaintance, who is a French winemaker. Virgile Joly’s Joly Blanc – Grenache Blanc – is consistently one of the best whites I taste from the land of fries and crepes. The wine is Grenache Blanc with a hint of Rousanne delivering great aromas and a hint of peach. It is delightful with grilled fish or lighter meats. ($13-$15) • Four Graces Pinot Blanc – This Willamette Valley winery makes small batches and highly-stylized wines. The Pinot Blanc is quite different than the valley’s Pinot Gris wines. This is a light bodied wine with hints of honey, banana, and perhaps apricot. It’s a great white for warm weather meals. (SRP, $24. I bought it in an Indiana shop for $16) • Matua 2011 Sauvignon Blanc – It’s impossible to write about warm weather wines and not have at least one Sauvignon Blanc on the list. If you like your whites with big citrus, big acid, and a crisp refreshing finish, you’ll love the Matua. This comes from New Zealand’s Marlborough region, known for its Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. ($16)

CHEESY GOAT LOVE BY K A TY CA RTER EDITORS@NUVO.NET
D
oesn’t it often seem the people who become legendary, who make a name for themselves, do so almost accidentally? They think they’re on the road to one thing, laying the best plans, but take an unexpected turn and find themselves surprised by wild success. Such is the story of Judy Schad, co-owner and cheesemaker of Capriole Goat Cheese in Greenville. It was the mid ‘70s, and — long before it was hip — Judy, her husband, and their three small children ditched the ‘burbs of Louisville and moved to an 80-acre hill farm in Greenville. Judy had grown up spending summers at her grandparents’ small farm outside New Albany, and harbored a nostalgic, maybe unrealistic memories of those times. “It explains a lot about why I’m here — I thought I’d be walking back into a child’s dream — and well, it’s not quite as I remembered it... [my husband’s] comment is that I can turn any dream into a nightmare, just give me a chance!” Her story says as much about their unpaved, rutted path (metaphorically speaking) to the farm — as well as the joy they’ve undoubtedly encountered on the journey. “It was a real fiasco,” she says. “We were truly city people coming to the country — we didn’t know what we were doing.” But when a neighbor gave them a goat for her son to use as a 4-H project, the family fell in love with the almost, as she puts it, “dog-like” animal. That goat had some goats, and those goats had more goats. And the Schads

soon found themselves with a small herd, and lots of milk. “None of us ever enjoyed drinking the milk,” she says. “The first time I had [goat] cheese I thought... this is what you’re supposed to do with the milk.” She got her start after seeing “Cheese Queen” Ricki Carroll at an American Dairy Goat Farmers conference. After a few years making cheese at home, “I took my little basket of cheeses over to Louisville and was embarrassed to sell them. It was like I was saying, ‘Do you like it? Do you really like it? Surely you’re not gonna give me money for it!’ — I was not quite the businesswoman.” But she became one. In 1988, she made her mark when Capriole cheese won the Best of the Midwest Market competition at Navy Pier in Chicago. She picked up distributors while still selling to a select market she was growing in cities like Chicago and New York (her first Indianapolis buyer was Sidney Maurer at the old Atlas Market at 54th Street and College Avenue). “The thing that really changed it for us
was not so much size, not so much where we sold it, but what we started selling,” she says. In 1993 she met a French exporter from Lyon who advised her to do more of what the Europeans do — that is, focus on signature cheeses from a specific region. “In other words, we needed to do here in two years what they did in France in 2000 years.” So she began producing surfaceripened cheeses, and it was the golden ticket. In 1995 her Wabash Cannonball won Best of Show at the American Cheese competition. Piazza Produce cemented her presence in the Indianapolis market. She began working with the company about five years ago, and today it’s her biggest customer. “They’re great guys — they go everywhere, and have a real chef-based business. Indiana has finally caught on,” she says. “There’s a whole new food scene out there, and they’re becoming a part of it.” Judy still works in the Capriole creamery on a weekly basis, but in 2012, the operation outgrew its milk supply, which drew on her 25-year-old closed herd of 500 goats. After much hand-wringing, she sold the herd to a now 1100-count goat farm in Goshen. That farm, in turn, sells milk back to Capriole. It’s a relationship that’s offered some relief to the Schads, who can now focus fully on making cheese, knowing their dairy farmers follow the same standards they did when goats grazed their own pastures. What’s Schad’s favorite cheese? “You know, it just all depends on what’s on that week. You stand behind the table at the [Chicago] market, and you taste that one, and you just know — this is the cheese of the day. And the customers believe me because they know we’re not going to steer them wrong.”

CLIMATE CHANGE AS A MORAL ISSUE BY ERI N M U LR Y AN E D I T O R S @ N U VO.NET
A
t its core, climate change is a matter of science. The Sept. 27 release of a new report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change emphasizing humans’ effects on climate change and global warming represents the collaboration of the world’s top scientific minds: 259 authors from 39 countries contributed. The report’s bottom-line outlook: “Continued emissions of greenhouse gases will cause further warming and changes in all components of the climate system. Limiting climate change will require substantial and sustained reductions of greenhouse gas emissions.” Climate change also involves politics and business. The interaction of those two arenas on this issue can be witnessed in the interplay between the Obama administration and Hoosier politicians as new coalregulation policies are advanced. Grappling with the significance of climate change also raises issues of morality. For people of faith, climate change should be a moral issue, said Patrick Carolan, executive director of the Franciscan Action Network, at a Sept. 26 symposium at Marian University. The Center for Interfaith Cooperation and the Hoosier Environmental Council worked with The Richard G. Lugar Franciscan Center for Global Studies at Marian University to organize the forum. Carolan began the discussion by exploring one of the main ways global climate change issues affects Indiana: the divided debate over coal as a reliable and necessary source of energy in our state. Gov. Mike Pence, a Republican, and U.S. Sen. Joe Donnelly, D-Ind., both issued state24 INDIANA LIVING GREEN // 10.02.13 - 10.09.13 // 100% RECYCLED P APER // NUVO
ments in the last month criticizing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s new rules designed to curb the carbon emissions from new coal-fired power plants. The debate over jobs and climate change involved choices about which jobs are destroyed and which ones are saved, Carolan said. He noted that concerns about potential jobs lost due to new EPA regulations at times overshadow concerns about livelihoods — from farming to fishing — endangered by the effects of climate change: extreme weather patterns defined by record droughts, floods and compromised photosynthesis. As a Christian, Carolan is less interested in the economic or political implications of climate change. For him it involves a simple, clear responsibility to respond to the science documenting rising sea levels, warming oceans and increasing oceanic acidification (which threatens sea life as the oceans absorb some of the excess carbon in the atmosphere), among a host of many other effects because his faith mandates a shared responsibility among humanity to care for each other and for God’s creation. This awareness of a responsibility to humanity and to the earth is not limited to Christianity, he said, offering a list of statements by prominent religious leaders throughout history stressing the same sense that people are all together as one in God’s creation, and share a duty as guardians of the earth. He asked his audience to consider themselves one with everyone, not a consumer of the earth but a steward — one who picks up a can by the side of the road instead of throwing one out, as Mr. Carolan did as a child — and was reprimanded by his Irish mother, who first made him realize that his duty to protect God’s earth. Rebecca Townsend contributed to the report.

WATTS & WHATNOT
Judgment: IDEM did not comply with Clean Water Act An Indiana environmental law judge has found that the Indiana Department of Environmental Management failed to comply with the Clean Water Act because it did not perform an antidegradation review for potentially toxic discharges into Indiana waters by the Bear Run Coal Mine in Sullivan County. The ruling stems from the Sierra Club’s filing of a petition for administrative review of the modification of Bear Run Mine in June 2010. The petition challenged IDEM’s approval of Peabody Midwest Mining, LLC’s application for modifications to Bear Run’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. These modifications included new outfalls for storm water discharge from the mine into nearby creeks and ditches. On Sept. 11, 2013, Environmental Law Judge Catherine Gibbs granted a summary judgment in favor of the Sierra Club, finding that IDEM failed to perform a Tier II anti-degradation review as required by rules in effect in 2010, when the application for modifications to Peabody’s NPDES permit was approved. “If you’re digging the largest surface mine east of the Mississippi River, Judge Gibbs recognizes that you must protect local waterways for the use of residents and wildlife,” said Jodi Perras, Indiana representative for Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal campaign, said in a news release. It’s time for IDEM to start doing its job and protect the waters of Indiana from coal mine pollution, as the Clean Water Act requires.” According to the company’s website, Peabody Energy opened the Bear Run coal mine in 2010. Bear Run is the largest surface coal mine east of the Mississippi River. It produced 7.7 million tons of coal in 2012, and has the capacity to produce up to 8 million tons annually. The mine continues to operate pending IDEM’s anti-degradation review of the mine’s application for modifications to its NPDES permit. This permit is required by the Clean Water Act. — ERIN MULRYAN

IU’s Morgan Monroe State Forest Flux Tower is now part of a global climate change research network. IU’s forest observation tower cleared to continue climate research A major Indiana University-led carbon dioxide exchange-monitoring project in Morgan Monroe State Forest is clear to continue after its 150-observation tower was accepted into the U.S. Department of Energy-funded AmeriFlux Management Project. Researchers have operated the MMSF Flux Tower since 1998, collecting everything from basic readings such as relative humidity and air temperature to more refined data points such like carbon dioxide flux and photosynthetically active radiation. The Fluxnet network includes almost 1,000 towers around the world — more than 120 of them across the Americas. Of all these towers, IU’s MMSF tower, represents the second-longest-running carbon dioxide flux monitoring site in the world. “That type of refined data, gathered over years and even decades, can lead to findings of interest not only to scientists but to landowners, the forest industry and to Indiana citizens in general,” Faiz Rahman, an associate professor in IU’s Department of Geography, said in a news release. IU outlined some key findings in the release: Warmer temperatures from 2000 to 2012 have led to longer growing seasons; the forest has been getting drier, with less water in the soil and drier air; as the forest has gotten drier, there have been declines in carbon uptake; the 2012 drought marked the third lowest annual carbon uptake even though it had the longest growing season by about 20 days; and a drier forest has led to trees stopping their growth earlier in the growing season and producing less wood overall. — REBECCA TOWNSEND

BRIEF CHATS MEGAN MANNING’S TEENAGE DREAM Franklin Township native Megan Manning jumped on an opportunity to showcase her singing abilities at a fifth grade talent show. After delivering an impressive cover of Kelly Clarkson’s “Walk Away,” flocks of friends and family pushed her to take musical dream a bit farther. Manning entered the studio in 2011 and began the initial stages of writing her own material. Since then, the now 16-year-old Manning has released her own EP, Mistaken, featuring four original tracks. She performs regularly in Indianapolis.

NUVO: You’re only 16, but have been writing for a number of years. Please tell us a little bit about your writing process, and how that has evolved, as you’ve grown older. MEGAN MANNING: My writing style is very dif-
ferent than most others that you might see. I normally find a quiet place to think and start to imagine the intro. As I play around with the lyrics, I can begin to imagine how the song is going to sound and how I want it to sound. My methods for song writing have not changed much over the years, but as I experience more things in life and love, it becomes easier to write about relatable topics. PHOTO BY MIKE ALLEE
NUVO: One particular song off the EP that grabbed my attention was “Let It Go.” It’s an emotional tune, starting with a slow piano lead into a very triumphant end. Please take us through the process of this songrecording, performing, and so on. MANNING: I hold a very strong connection with this song in particular. When I finished writing it, I shared it with my vocal coach, Jennifer Clifford, who used to be my middle school choir teacher, at one of my vocal lessons. After playing around with a piano track for it, we decided that I should perform it at a recital. “Let It Go” got a very positive response from the audience, so I decided it was time to take it to the studio. Jennifer and I started out recording a piano only version, but after talking with Phil Elmore and Mike Perry from the studio, we decided we could do a lot more with it and that’s when the idea for the full band at the end came in. NUVO: When it comes to the public eye, what helps you stand apart from other young artists? MANNING: The main thing that sets me apart from other young artists is my love for and my ability to perform many different genres. Where most artists stick to one genre, I am able to conform to the type of music that most of the audience enjoys. NUVO: You’ve mentioned that you perform a number of covers from a variety of genres. Which ones do you find have better live results? MANNING: I find that people respond really well when I perform strong, powerful ballads. A few of the songs that I get the best results with include “If No One Will Listen” and “Because Of You” by Kelly Clarkson and “So Small” by Carrie Underwood. People tend to connect with these songs on a more personal level, and it gets them emotionally engaged. — JIM EASTERHOUSE

he founders of Bloomington record labels Flannelgraph Records and Crossroads of America Records are a little like brothers. They can bounce ideas off each other, and grow separately but together in same small, eclectic town. And, like a lot of brothers, they’ve been rivals. “You know how when you see someone who seems to be exactly like you in a lot of ways, so you somehow hate them for it? It was like that,” said Flannelgraph Records’ Jared Cheek. When Cheek first moved to Bloomington, Mike Adams, now of XRA, was running Fox Records with Bryant Fox of band husband&wife. Cheek began a small boutique outlet called Manual Label. “I liked the stuff he was doing,” Adams said of Manual. “But I felt really threatened by the way he was sort of encroaching on our turf.” The mini-war began. Adams tried in small ways to battle Manual Label, putting signs on top of his promotional signs, their merchandise directly next to his, etc. Adams was met with a fight. “One time I prank called [Adams] up as a

distributor and put in a fake order for 1,000 copies of a Canterbury Effect record that they only pressed 500 copies of,” Cheek said. Around this same time, however, Adams began to break away from his affiliation with Fox Records. His interest in creating XRA was growing. He began asking around on various local online music forums, offering a sort of internship — a collaborative position alongside him. His username gave no indication of his actual identity; when Cheek posted back, neither knew the other’s position as his rival. Through their online conversations, both realized the unique power they would have in a partnership. “Once we finally realized one another’s real identity, we were both pretty embarrassed, but took it as a sign to start over and help each other out,” Adams said. “Pretty crazy, but it’s made us very comfortable to work with and trust each other ever since.” A few years after Crossroads of America launched, Cheek created Flannelgraph Records. They continue to work together, discussing ideas for criticism or confidence, and helping each other create and mold their labels while keeping their specific goals in mind. “Our packaging ideas are usually some sort of boneheaded amalgam of an idea that one of us came up with and then the other added to or subtracted from,” Adams said. And they often share artists in one way or another. For example, Adams releases his work as Mike Adams At His Honest Weight on Flannelgraph but releases his experimental work as Dust Collectors on XRA; XRA offers Frank Sweikhardt’s vinyl album while Flannelgraph offers his work on an instrumental cassette.
“I like to think we’re pretty distinct,” Adams said. “There’s certainly a lot of overlap at times, but Flannelgraph is driven by Jared’s whims and XRA by mine. We make a good team when we collaborate, but I think that’s because we complement each other. Jared’s thing tends to be very playful and sometimes weird, and I think Flannelgraph artists reflect that. That also tends to land him in some very creative, interesting and unique places with his releases. I’m usually more drawn to a kind of sincerity and this sort of emotionalMidwestern-experience thing.” Cheek is interested in instrumentals, and subsequently, Flannelgraph honors that. “I’m really picky about what I listen to lyrically,” Cheek said. “Each year we do a benefit album of all new original instrumental holiday music. We’ve also started doing a series of instrumental versions of new albums on other labels. Our next one of those will be the new Candy Claws, which might be my favorite album of the year so far.” “I think both of us put out records because we like them and think that they deserve to be heard by other people. So, there’s no rivalry for recruiting bands or anything like that,” said Cheek. Most recently, XRA released Mount Eerie’s 12”, Live in Bloomington, September 30, 2011. And much is on the horizon. “Later this year we will hopefully have a new Metavari album to deliver to the universe, as well as a humongous retrospective/B-sides and rarities release from husband&wife. There’s a lot of work to do,” Adams said. Flannelgraph is streamlining into the future as well. This month, they will release their first ever reissue, a 1977 album from synthesizer pioneer Don Muro called It’s Time. They’re plumping up their annual benefit Christmas album and planning full—lengths from Chad Serhal, Mike Adams At His Honest Weight, New Terrors and Via Vegrandis. Adams and Cheek will host a two-day festival Friday and Saturday at Bloomington’s The Bishop. Turn to page 34 for the full lineup of artists. ”

LUMINEERS BLAST OFF Buoyed by radio hits, Colorado band stops in Indy during major tour
BY L . K EN T W O LG AM OT T MU S I C @ N U V O.NET
In 2009, Stelth Ulvang was one of dozens of Denver musicians who got a message from a New Jersey duo that was moving to Colorado and looking for contacts and shows. “They wrote everybody on MySpace, of all things,” Ulvang said. “I was one of the only people who got back to them and the only person who set up a show for them. It was just a little house show, but it’s where they met a lot of people here.” They were Wes Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites, who called themselves The Lumineers. Three years after setting up the show for the guys he didn’t know, Ulvang is part of the folk-rock band that’s become something of an overnight sensation with hit “Ho Hey.”’ Nominated for the Best New Artist and Best Americana album at this year’s Grammy Awards, The Lumineers have gone from a small Denver band to a group that draws thousands to shows around the country in just over a year — about the same amount of time that Ulvang has been an official Lumineer. “I’ve been kind of playing on and off with them since they got here,” said Ulvang, who joined the group on keyboards in late 2011. “I was in a band and our bands would play together. The two of them added [cellist and harmony singer] Nayla [Pekarek]. There were a couple random dudes that kept going into and out of the band. It didn’t really settle to what it is now until 2012, a couple months before they released the album.’ The band’s self-titled Dualtone Records debut was released in April 2012. By that time, “Ho Hey” was already beginning its climb up the “Billboard” magazine Hot 100, peaking at No. 3 in June. “We first sent it out as a demo, before the album,” Ulvang said. “It was the second song on there. I think the first was “Submariner,” or else it was “Stubborn Love.” Those were the three songs on there. A guy on Seattle’s KEXP started playing track two. I wonder sometimes if that’s all it took to make that song a hit — a guy playing the second track. But you can think what you want about it. It’s really up to the people. So no, we didn’t see it coming.” Powered by the single, The Lumineers made it to No. 11 on “Billboard” albums chart and has sold more than 900,000 copies, the band got the Grammy nominations and

has been constantly touring and making TV appearances since summer 2012. So what’s it like getting caught in a pop whirlwind? “It’s been kind of hard to keep our footing,” Ulvang said. “It’s just the tip of the iceberg, though. We kind of lit the firecracker years ago and it blew up later. We’d kind of forgot about it.” The Lumineers took some time off in the spring. Now the group is back on the road, doing a run of headlining shows. Playing shows is as much fun for the quintet as it is for its audience, said Ulvang. “There’s this interesting dynamic going on with us where we’re trying to have fun on stage,” he said. “We’ll screw around on stage, throw things at each other, climb on stuff. I hope it doesn’t come across as an inside joke to the audience. But musically, we give it our all every night. It’s like putting an eight-hour shift into an hour and a half.” Given that The Lumineers have just one album, putting together the 90-minute set is something of a challenge. “The record is basically a best of album,” Ulvang said. “Wes has been writing songs for seven years and these are the best of them. It’s hard to put stuff up against those songs. But we do bring in a few new ones and a couple covers. The whole album fits really well into a set. It all fits really good into a spot. I think it’s a pretty solid set.” The high point of The Lumineers set, at least for the audience, is “Ho Hey,” which, like all breakthrough hits will be a permanent staple of the band’s shows whether it wants to play it or not. “I compared it the other day, I was talking to one of my friends, by saying it’s kind of like any job,” Ulvang said. “Maybe you work at a cafe that’s pretty hip. You’ve still got to wash the dishes. Sometimes when we’re not feeling it, it’s kind of like that. But we’re proud of it. It’s a great song and it changed everything for us.”

It was a powerful testabrought an international flavor to the local dance music scene. ment to Tech’s position as a respected voice for social justice in the hip-hop community. Out of all the requests I received, I was particularly moved by one. My friend America. They always say “immigrants are Lupe Pimental mentioned that Immortal getting these services for free.” Well you’re Technique’s “Poverty of Philosophy” had been getting a lot of labor for free. You’re getthe soundtrack to her personal initiation into ting a lot of people who are paying into activism. Lupe has been a big inspiration to Social Security and they’ll never get it back. me since 2011, when I saw her sacrifice her People are paying into a system they’ll freedom while protesting an anti-immigration never receive any benefit from. bill that was signed into law by then-Gov. Mitch Daniels. Lupe and five other students NUVO: I ask this question to a lot of were aggressively arrested by Indiana State people, from Chuck D to Bobby Seale. Do Police while peacefully assembled in Daniels’ you think music is an effective medium to office, simply hoping to explain how the bill spread the message of social justice? would make college tuition fees unaffordable for undocumented youth. So it only seemed fair to invite Lupe to address Tech herself as I headed to the Vogue to interview the MC before “The government is trying to his Thursday night appearance last week. During our 30-minute talk Tech disenfranchise people who have pontificated on his theories of racial paid into America.” equality and working class liberation with arcane historical facts. Below, a brief selection from our conversation, — IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE which is available in full on NUVO.net. LUPE PIMENTAL: We suffer through many defeats in the battle for social justice. Sometimes I find that very discouraging. How do you maintain your motivation? IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE: What motivates me is hearing personal stories from people. Some of the stories aren’t easy to listen to. After I perform “Dance With The Devil” I always give a speech about how rape is something that happens everywhere, not in some dark alley in the poorest parts of society. It happens at the most prestigious schools in America, the most prestigious organizations like the military. There’s no higher honor in this country than being a military officer. They treat you like gold, but look at the rape statistics in the military. When I talk about that people come up to me after the shows and say, “That happened to me when I was a child and I always blamed myself.” People tell me about their addiction issues. I hear things like, “I was trying to get clean and I heard a song of yours talking about leaving the past and I wanted to get clean.” When I step back I’m motivated by people’s personal struggles. That’s what makes me want to do this. I wrote a lot of my songs not out of hatred, but out of love for people’s concerns. NUVO: What are your thoughts on immigration reform? IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE: I have a song on my new album The Middle Passage that’s structured toward the immigration issue. I don’t think it’s a controversial issue. The fact is the government is trying to disenfranchise people who have paid into
IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE: People always call me a “conscious” rapper, and I respond by saying that conscious doesn’t mean you’re going to do anything. If you took a survey of people in this city and asked them if they thought the government was corrupt, or if the president was a liar — most of them would probably say yes. But if you ask them what they are going to do about it, the answer is nothing. They’re gonna go home and let the cable TV wash over their body. They’re gonna leave it alone and forget it. That’s the difference between being conscious and active. A lot of people are conscious but they are not physically doing anything about it. Looking at it from that perspective it’s hard to imagine that someone is going to be motivated by one thing I say. I think I can effect change in some ways, but I can’t make the decision for someone to step out of themselves. All I can do is provide an example of a world that is fake, even though you might think it’s real. Why is this capitalist society so ashamed of its motives? Why are you ashamed to say you’re in it for the money? Just deal with the reality that your fucking mythology is based on and then I can have a conversation with you as a regular human being. If my music can facilitate that conversation, then the choice for someone’s change is up to them and it’s not my responsibility to fix your fucking life.

GOTH Wednesday’s Child Very rarely does one night of music offer “the best of both worlds” in terms of genre. Or, eight, perhaps. Wednesday’s Child is a dark night of goth, industrial, retro ’80s, electro, EBM and synthpop fused into one evening of dance. Plenty of drink specials help make this night worthy of a spot on your calendar. The Metro Restaurant and Nightclub, 707 Massachusetts Ave., 8 p.m., Prices vary, ages +21
GUITAR Rovshan Mamedkuliev IUPUI Department of Music and Arts Technology and the Indianapolis Society of the Classical Guitar present world-renowned guitarist Rovshan Mamedkuliev, winner of the 2012 Guitar Foundation of America competition. Mamedkuliev was born in Azerbaijan, but spent the majority of his childhood and practice time in Russia, where he learned to play with the fierce precision that’s become the trademark of Russian artists from gymnasts to ballerinas, writers to musicians. He has won numerous international competitions in classical guitar competitions.
LEGENDS Arlo Guthrie Yes, son of Woody; yes, a singer of protest songs. Remember his track “Alice’s Restaurant Massacre”? Yes, the 18-minute song.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY JAZZ Valarie Pettiford Valarie Pettiford is a true diva, with a Fosse performance that earned her a Tony nomination. With a high-kick and a shimmy, Pettiford will tell stories through song and dance of her time in a fascinating entertainment career. Other notable performances of Pettiford’s tour of the stage include Chicago (as Velma Kelly, alongside Chita Rivera), The Wild Party and Show Boat. Cabaret at Columbia Club, 121 Monument Circle, Ste. 516, 8 p.m., prices vary, all-ages
ROCK Saliva Rock legends Saliva, Pragmatic, Join the Dead, Hero Jr. and Picture Yes are playing on the same stage. After 15 years with the band, former Saliva lead singer Josey Scott left to pursue a solo career as a Christian singer. Since then, Bobby Amaru has been fronting the band and providing vocals, and the re-grouped group released their eighth studio album, In It to Win It , last month.

SOUNDCHECK R&B Raheem DeVaughn Three-time Grammy-nominated R&B singer Raheem DeVaughn is stopping by the Egyptian Room for some smooth croonin’. Often compared to D’Angelo and Marvin Gaye, DeVaughn’s style might be best described as “baby-making music.” But, regardless of your desire for children conceived via bump-n-grind, the show is going to be spectacular.

Hail to the Chief, A7X’s latest, was released in late August. Supporting the band for the duration of their tour are special guests Deftones and Ghost B.C.

FOLK The Lumineers A bit more from our chat with The Lumineers, who will play a sold-out show at the Lawn: “ “[Wesley Schultz] s still the primary writer,” Stelth Ulvang said. “I think we’re trying to keep it that way. He’s still got a lot in him. The hard part is putting songs together as a band. When you realize what songs take, it’s hard not to let it go to your head. Then you start to repeat yourself. I have that fear... But I think we’ll avoid the sophomore slump.” The show will be broadcast live on 92.3 FM WTTS. The Lawn at White River, 801 W. Washington St., 7 p.m., sold out, all-ages

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY © 2013 BY ROB BRESZNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Sometimes you quit games too early, Aries. You run away and dive into a new amusement before you have gotten all the benefits you can out of the old amusement. But I don’t think that will be your problem in the coming days. You seem more committed than usual to the ongoing process. You’re not going to bolt. That’s a good thing. This process is worth your devotion. But I also believe that right now you may need to say no to a small part of it. You’ve got to be clear that there’s something about it you don’t like and want to change. If you fail to deal with this doubt now, you might suddenly quit and run away somewhere down the line. Be proactive now and you won’t be rash later. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Jugaad is a Hindi-Urdu word that can be translated as “frugal innovation.” People in India and Pakistan use it a lot. It’s the art of coming up with a creative workaround to a problem despite having to deal with logistical and financial barriers. Masters of jugaad call on ingenuity and improvisation to make up for sparse resources. I see this as your specialty right now, Taurus. Although you may not have abundant access to VIPs and filthy riches, you’ve nevertheless got the resourcefulness necessary to come up with novel solutions. What you produce may even turn out better than if you’d had more assets to draw on. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In accordance with your current astrological omens, I authorize you to be like a bird in the coming week — specifically, like a bird as described by the zoologist Norman J. Berrill: “To be a bird is to be more intensely alive than any other living creature. Birds have hotter blood, brighter colors, stronger emotions. They live in a world that is always present, mostly full of joy.” Take total advantage of the soaring grace period ahead of you, Gemini. Sing, chirp, hop around, swoop, glide, love the wind, see great vistas, travel everywhere, be attracted to hundreds of beautiful things, and do everything. CANCER (June 21-July 22): “The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired,” wrote Nikos Kazantzakis in his book Report to Greco. I’m hoping that when you read that statement, Cancerian, you will feel a jolt of melancholy. I’m hoping you will get a vision of an exciting experience that you have always wanted but have not yet managed to bring into your life. Maybe this provocation will goad you into finally conjuring up the more intense desire you would need to actually make your dream come true. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “It is truly strange how long it takes to get to know oneself,” wrote the prominent 20th-century philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. “I am now 62 years old, yet just one moment ago I realized that I love lightly toasted bread and loath bread when it is heavily toasted. For over 60 years, and quite unconsciously, I have been experiencing inner joy or total despair at my relationship with grilled bread.” Your assignment, Leo, is to engage in an intense phase of self-discovery like Wittgenstein’s. It’s time for you to become fully conscious of all the small likes and dislikes that together shape your identity. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “I’d rather be in the mountains thinking of God than in church thinking about the mountains,” said the naturalist John Muir. Let that serve as your inspiration, Virgo. These days, you need to be at the heart of the hot action, not floating in a cloud of abstract thoughts. The dream has to be fully embodied and vividly unfolding all around you, not exiled to wistful fantasies that flit through your mind’s eye when you’re lonely or tired or trying too hard. The only version of God that’s meaningful to you right now is the one that feeds your lust for life in the here and now.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The advice I’m about to dispense may have never before been given to Libras in the history of horoscopes. It might also be at odds with the elegance and decorum you like to express. Nevertheless, I am convinced that it is the proper counsel. I believe it will help you make the most out of the highly original impulses that are erupting and flowing through you right now. It will inspire you to generate a mess of fertile chaos that will lead to invigorating long-term innovations. Ready? The message comes from Do the Work, a book by Steven Pressfield: “Stay primitive. The creative act is primitive. Its principles are of birth and genesis.” SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Two years ago a British man named Sean Murphy decided he had suffered enough from the painful wart on his middle finger. So he drank a few beers to steel his nerves, and tried to blast the offending blemish off with a gun. The operation was a success in the sense that he got rid of the wart. It was less than a total victory, though, because he also annihilated most of his finger. May I suggest that you not follow Murphy’s lead, Scorpio? Now is a good time to part ways with a hurtful burden, but I’m sure you can do it without causing a lot of collateral damage. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Grace has been trickling into your life lately, but I suspect that it may soon start to flood. A spate of interesting coincidences seems imminent. There’s a good chance that an abundance of tricky luck will provide you with the leverage and audacity you need to pull off minor miracles. How much slack is available to you? Probably as much as you want. So ask for it! Given all these blessings, you are in an excellent position to expunge any cynical attitudes or jaded theories you may have been harboring. For now at least, it’s realistic to be optimistic. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn innovator Jeff Bezos built Amazon.com from the ground up. He now owns The Washington Post, one of America’s leading newspapers. It’s safe to say he might have something to teach us about translating big dreams into practical realities. “We are stubborn on vision,” he says about his team. “We are flexible in details.” In other words, he knows exactly what he wants to create, but is willing to change his mind and be adaptable as he carries out the specific work that fulfills his goals. That’s excellent advice for you, Capricorn, as you enter the next phase of implementing your master plan. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Here’s the horoscope I would like to be able to write for you by the first week of December: “Congratulations, Aquarius! Your quest for freedom has begun to bear tangible results. You have escaped a habit that had subtly undermined you for a long time. You are less enslaved to the limiting expectations that people push on you. Even your monkey mind has eased up on its chatter and your inner critic has at least partially stopped berating you. And the result of all this good work? You are as close as you have ever come to living your own life — as opposed to the life that other people think you should live.” PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “It’s an unbearable thought that roses were not invented by me,” wrote Russian poet Vladimir Mayakovsky. You’re not as egotistical as Mayakovsky, Pisces, so I doubt you’ve ever had a similar “unbearable thought.” And it is due in part to your lack of rampaging egotism that I predict you will invent something almost as good as roses in the coming weeks. It may also be almost as good as salt and amber and mist and moss; almost as good as kisses and dusk and honey and singing. Your ability to conjure up long-lasting beauty will be at a peak. Your creative powers will synergize with your aptitude for love to bring a new marvel into the world.
