BEATDOWNS IN D.C.

What we can learn from Turkey’s populist regime BY BAYNARD WOODS // EDITORS@NUVO.NET

screwed up on Twitter last week when sending out a story I wrote about Kurds and other activists who were attacked by Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s security forces outside of the Turkish ambassador’s Washington, D.C. residence. Instead of typing “Turkish security forces,” I inadvertently wrote “Trump security forces.” I deleted the tweet and regretted the error — but the mistake was telling. Despite the differences between Trump and Erdoğan, the physical attack on Americans by foreign security personnel should serve as a stark warning to us. The videos of the attack are striking in the precise determination of the violence. Against the Turkish security forces, the D.C. police seemed helpless to defend the Kurds and other protesters being attacked. It made the recent skirmishes between homegrown fascists and Antifa in Berkeley and elsewhere seem like schoolyard scuffles. Heewa Arya, a Kurdish-American who was there to protest Erdoğan’s invitation to the U.S., was among those beaten by armed Turkish security forces as they ran past police and began punching, kicking, and choking protesters. It looked like nothing so much as some crazy, apocalyptic version of a fight in The Sopranos — fat dudes adept at violence going wild. “I was attacked by many people. I don’t remember how many, but I remember at first I got a kick to my chest, and then I think another guy from behind put me down. And then I just remember there were kicks all over—kicks and punches, punches in my

head, in my neck, in my back body,” Arya plaintiffs were being shoved. A week later, said. “I just tried to cover as much as I can then-campaign manager Corey Lewandmy front face. My head was down.

ring sometimes strange alliances, such as that between Erdoğan, an Islamic nationalist, and Trump, an Islamophobic nationalist. But perhaps Trump’s connection with Erdoğan — like his connection with Putin — is deeper than a shared hatred of elites and the institutions that would constrain their power. On the day after Erdoğan visited the White House, a slew of stories brought light to connections between Turkey and former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. First we learned that Flynn informed the Trump transition team that he had secretly been working as a lobbyist for Turkey — he had been paid $500,000 — and was under investigation for not disclosing his status as a foreign agent. The Trump transition team still hired him as National Security Advisor and gave him access to the most sensitive intelligence. Flynn, who was later fired, is also under suspicion for his ties to Russia. A grand jury has subpoenaed Flynn’s financial records. According to the New York Times, the “subpoena also asks for similar records about Ekim Alptekin, a Turkish businessman who is close to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey and is chairman of the Turkish-American Business Council. There is no indication that Mr. Alptekin is under investigation.” Then McClatchy reported that during his short stint in office, Flynn scuttled “the Pentagon’s plan to retake the Islamic State’s de facto capital of Raqqa with Syrian Kurdish forces whom the Pentagon considered the U.S.’s most effective military partners.” The decision was pleasing to the Turkish government. But even after all that, Trump asked then-FBI director James Comey to “let this go.” These business connections combine with the ideological similarities to make Erdoğan’s Turkey a stark warning of what Trump’s vision would look like in action. When the Turkish Embassy responded to reports of the brutal attack by their security personnel, they blamed the activists, who, the Embassy claimed, were “affiliated with the PKK [Kurdistan Workers’ Party], which the U.S. and Turkey have designated as a terrorist organization.” How long until Trump uses a similar line?

INSULIN COST SPEEDS AWAY And diabetic Hoosiers are forced to make tough choices

BY KATIE STANCOMBE, THE STATEHOUSE FILE // NEWS@NUVO.NET

or six years, Erin Roberts worked two jobs in order to afford the life-saving medication her son depended on for survival. “It was really hard,” she said. “I feel like I missed a lot of family life because I was working as a registered nurse, and so I would work five 12-hour shifts a week.” When he was two years old, Roberts’ son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, and was prescribed insulin. While necessary for survival, families across the country are finding it increasingly difficult to afford their diabetes medication. Roberts, who requested her name be changed for the purpose of this article, said she didn’t want her son to feel like his diabetes was a burden on their family. “I try not to let our son know how his disease affects our family financially,” she said. “I know he’s somewhat aware, but I don’t want that to be something he feels bad about.” As a nurse practitioner, Roberts works with disadvantaged diabetic Hoosiers, many of whom are at a loss for how they will pay for their insulin. The price of an order of insulin per patient increased from roughly $230 in 2002 to more than $700 in 2013, according to an analysis published in 2016 for the Journal of the American Medical Association. An order can last for weeks or months, depending on the patient. “My patients are still struggling,” she said. “If they go to the pharmacy, I know it’s going to be hundreds of dollars for their insulin, and they just look at me and say, ‘I can’t. I can’t do that.’” Dr. William Herman, a coauthor of the analysis and professor of epidemiology at the University of Michigan School of Public Health, said it’s difficult to know exactly why these costs have increased so dramatically and says cost increase might be due in part to the changes of what types of insulin have

Although the former U.S. Senator from

become available on the market. “From the 1920s to the 1970s, insulin was purified from the pancreases of animals slaughtered for their meat,” Herman said. “It was actually very inexpensive, but also in limited supply.” Next came human insulin, developed through molecular cloning. This allowed for the first mass production of insulin identical to that made naturally in the pancreas. Although identical, doctors found that human insulin took too long to start working in the body. Then a new option entered the market in the 1990s — insulin analogs. “They came to the market at a premium price of about $40 per vial. And the price has gone up from $40 a vile now to almost $300 a vial,” Herman said. But Herman said insulin prices keep rising without explanation and he sees patients who struggle financially all the time. “There are people who cut back on their doses, who ask not to be on insulin because of the cost, and there are a number of people who just stop taking their insulin because they can’t afford it,” Herman said.

HOW INSULIN IS PRICED George Huntley, a previous national chair of the American Diabetes Association, said there are a few key players at work when it

comes to pricing insulin, the biggest being pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs). Pharmacy benefit managers act as a middleman between drug manufacturers and consumers, the largest of which includes Express Scripts, CVS Health and OptumRx. Pharmacy benefit managers dictate which specific drugs consumers can receive from their plan without garnering additional outof-pocket costs. They are primarily responsible for developing and maintaining the formulary and contracting with pharmacies. They also have the power to negotiate discounts and rebates with drug manufacturers. That’s where Huntley said things start to get fishy. He thinks PBMs hold power over drug makers. If they don’t offer rebates, the PBM will not give that manufacturer an official list that details which medicines may be prescribed. “Which means that manufacturer isn’t going to sell that drug,” Huntley said. Brian Henry, spokesman for Express Scripts, said PBMs don’t ask for rebates. “Rebates are something that the drug company decides to offer,” Henry said. “It’s one way of many that the price can be brought down.” There are only three insulin manufacturers in the country: Eli Lilly, Novo

NUVO.NET/NEWS Nordisk and Sanofi. When insulin is prepared to leave the manufacturer, it’s labeled with a list price, the manufacturer’s suggested retail price before any rebates or discounts have been applied. That product will then arrive at the PBM, where negotiations will determine its net price — the final price consumers pay for a product. “If you look at the change in costs of insulin over time, they just keep going up in lockstep across the manufacturers,” Herman said. For example, imagine one manufacturer raises the price of Humalog, Lilly’s diabetes drug, by eight cents. Just a few days later the second manufacturer will up their price by 10 cents. Then the third will follow suit and the cycle continues in an upward spiral. Greg Kueterman, spokesman for Eli Lilly, said numerous factors are considered when pricing medication, including the cost to produce the product, expertise, and scientific and medical preciseness. “The list price of insulin over the last decade has certainly gone up,” Kueterman said. “Since 2009, the net price that we have received for our insulin has actually gone down.” Kueterman said no single entity is responsible for rising insulin prices, but Henry disagreed. “Drug makers are the ones who set the price for drugs — not PBMs, not any other group across the supply chain,” Henry said. “The drug makers decide how much they’re going to charge for their medicine. And our job as a PBM is to lower that cost.” Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk both offer discounts and patient assistance programs for those concerned about affording their medication. However, patients eligible for discounts depend on their insurance coverage and deductibles. Huntley said that while PBMs and manufacturers bargain prices, consumers are left with the short end of the stick. “The person who’s really harmed in this is the patient who’s at the cash register,” he said. “That’s the one who’s getting really nailed with the fullest price; the uninsured, of course, and anybody in a high deductible phase of their plan.” 6 // NEWS // 05.24.17 - 05.31.17 // 100% SUSTAINABLE / RECYCLED PAPER // NUVO.NET

WHO BENEFITS? Roberts said the struggle to pay for her son’s insulin was a progression over the past 15 years. “I’ve been all over the spectrum as far as our family and insulin,” Roberts said. “Right now I pay $10 a month, but I’ve had times where I had a $3,000 deductible and the first three months of the year I paid $1,000 a month for insulin.” She said that on average, her family spends $500 per month on insulin and other supplies her son needs in order to live. “We spend more money on diabetes than on our house payments,” Roberts said. “Even with good insurance, that’s just how it is.” Herman said the root of the problem could be traced back to the pharmacy benefit managers and manufacturers. “The bottom line is there’s just a lack of transparency in terms of why the costs have gone up and who is actually benefiting from the costs,” Herman said. Kueterman said that Eli Lilly is as transparent as it can be, without overstepping regulations and contracts. “We talk to stakeholders, we talk to media, business partners — and we try to be as open as we can be,” he said. “We recognize that people would like to know more, but there’s a number of things we can’t go into.” Henry agreed, saying that Express Scripts is very clear about what kinds of savings they offer. New drugs and medications can take several years to be developed, tested and perfected before reaching the market for sale. Financing this process can cost manufacturers billions of dollars. “But 15 or 20 years after a new insulin is introduced, you have to assume that they’ve paid off their research and development costs,” Herman said. Roberts thinks that if copays could be $50 or less per month, that would be a reasonable price to pay for insulin. “On one hand I think that’s a reasonable price to pay for medications,” she said. “But I know on the other hand the way insulin is manufactured and what they have to do to produce it, it’s expensive. So I don’t really know how it’s possible to find a balance between the two.” N

SPEED ROUNDS

Twentyish questions with your favorite IndyCar drivers BY LORI LOVELY // EDITORS@NUVO.NET

o compete in Sunday’s 101st running of the Indianapolis 500 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Fernando Alonso needed to pass the Rookie Orientation Program. The ROP is a structured procedure for all drivers without recent experience racing on the two-and-a-half-mile oval in current IndyCar-specification equipment, during which they must demonstrate that they are able to run safely and consistently at speeds over 200 mph. ROP is a three-step process. The driver must run a consistent line within a defined speed range for a set number of laps. The first stage requires ten laps between 200 and 205 mph; the second requires another ten laps between 205 and 209 mph. The third stage of ROP consists of 15 laps at speeds over 210 mph. Alonso needed only about an hour of track time to pass. It may be one of the fastest ROPs on record. … Oh, did we not mention he’s a twotime Formula One series champion? As the first Formula One driver in history to skip a Grand Prix (Monaco) in order to compete at Indianapolis, Alonso went on to become the fastest rookie in this year’s field, securing a starting position of P5 with a four-lap average speed of 231.300 mph. Alonso’s speed on the track, as well as his quickness in adapting to the unique format at Indianapolis prompted the question: how quickly do the drivers do other things? That’s right: it’s time for Twentyish Questions with Your IndyCar Drivers.

or creative nonfiction writer Amanda Kay Oaks, a certain White Castle in suburban Ohio carries a great deal of personal significance. “My parents met there, and I had my first real fight with a high school boyfriend there, in what would turn out to be a pretty unhealthy relationship,” she says. After realizing the juxtaposition between these two events, the University of Evansville graduate decided to write an essay, titling it “What Happens at White Castle.” This rather typical Midwestern tale, Oaks’ essay will be one of the many works featured in Indianapolis’ collective The Geeky Press’ first-ever journal, Hoosier Lit. Released on May 19, the first installment of this bi-annual publication will feature essays, creative nonfiction, fiction, poetry and playwriting from 19 different authors that are either from or connected to Indiana. Curated by Brad King and his partners at The Geeky Press, Hoosier Lit will aim to build upon the Indianapolis writing collective’s mission of making, promoting, and supporting the creation and distribution of great words. “When I host readings, I always get four or five people from different genres together because everybody brings their own audience to see something new,” King says. “This [Hoosier Lit] really is the manifestation of that idea.” After sending an initial call out to writers both near and far, members of The Geeky Press were quickly bombarded with a slew of submissions. “We received submissions from writers all over the globe, which was a little surprising but exciting,” says Nicole Mathew, one of King’s three partners at The Geeky Press. “We found some were living abroad but had ties to Indiana, whether it be they lived here once or had family who still lived in the Midwest.” Although writers were asked to have some sort of Indiana tie, submissions were not limited to a specific subject matter. “The writing didn’t necessarily need to be about Indiana or serve a Hoosier purpose; rather, we were looking for fresh pieces that showcase great writing by folks from Indiana,” Mathew says. Oaks only spent four years living in Indiana, while receiving her undergraduate degree from the University of Evansville.

Nevertheless, she feels that her White Castle essay is one that can relate to most people, and especially to Midwesterners. “The actual events in my essay took place in a small town in Ohio,” she says. “However, I think it deals with subjects that are common to teenagers anywhere, first learning how (and how not) to be in relationships.” Oaks continues, “There’s also something to be said for the small town, Midwestern vibe, where pivotal moments take place in fast food parking lots, since that’s the main place where kids hang out. I think that vibes as much with small towns in Indiana as it does with Ohio. And of course, I was living and studying in Indiana when I learned what creative nonfiction was and first started toying around with writing about some of the issues addressed in ‘What Happens at White Castle.’” After previously sending a play to the Phoenix Theater with no luck, KT Peterson was pleasantly surprised to find out that the same piece would be featured in the first Hoosier Lit. “I appreciate the idea that publication is not some far-fetched idea for later in my career when I’m ‘ready,’” Peterson says. “I am grateful to The Geeky Press in many ways for just saying, ‘Hey, let’s do this.’” Having lived in Indiana since 1987, she too says that Midwestern living has affected her composition. “I feel like if you grow up in the Midwest, you are horrified by its lack of sophistication and devastated by its serene profundity,” Peterson says. “I spent many years fighting it, but that perspective and upbringing — from Appalachia to Naptown — will always be present in my work. And I am thankful for it.” Although this spring edition of Hoosier Lit will already be rather expansive, King’s hope is to bring even more genres of writing into the publication’s fall installment. In particular, he would like to see elements of comedy and spoken word writing in the future, as well as photo essays. “I am hopeful the next one is bigger,” he says. “As we get more genres, that will allow us to add more partners into the collective.” Because like he adamantly insists, The Geeky Press exists to serve Indiana writers of all genres. “Writing isn’t just poetry, and writing isn’t just fiction,” King concludes. “The nature of writing comes in all forms.” N

BUILDING A WINZLOW NATION Children’s book author Devon Kondaki brand-builds BY DAN GROSSMAN // ARTS@NUVO.NET

n the children’s picture book Winzlow: the Mystery of the Magical Bwa Bwa Fruit, a creature named Grimble Crumble eats a mysterious fruit that turns his skin into a patchwork of rainbow colors. So Grimble Crumble and his friend Winzlow, a fuzzy gnome, set forth on an adventure to find a cure. The author/illustrator of the book is Devon Kondaki, 25, who is having many

adventures of his own recently. Kondaki is pursuing a career as a children’s book author with the dedication of a Zen master. So it’s probably not a coincidence then, that his residence is a small walkup apartment in the Indianapolis Zen Center (and yes, he does practice Zen, a condition of the residency). In this apartment — which also doubles as his studio — sketches cover the walls, serving as

outlines for his various projects. The process of becoming a successful children’s book author, Kondaki says, is not just about writing and illustrating his books; both which he spends countless hours working on. It’s about developing a program. (Kondaki hopes to find a publisher for his currently self-published series of books). Kondaki hasn’t developed a program so much as an entire world — and that world is WinzlowNation. In his illustrated map of WinzlowNation, there’s a large capitol building in the center of the island. The building is all colors of the rainbow, which seems appropriate because diversity is one of the values that Kondaki imparts with his books and performances. “If you know anything about trying to develop and market children’s books, that work isn’t just writing and illustrating,” he says. “My generation, we’re multi-platform: Gameboy, computer, writing, creating, movies... So I wanted

to take this world to the next level — an interactive website where you can get a passport, visa.” On the website you can sign up for your own passport (or a passport for your kids), find out more about his books and recordings, and look up his upcoming appearances. In order to promote WinzlowNation, Kondaki has visited elementary schools, libraries and bookstores all around the greater Indianapolis area, where he plays the Winzlow theme song (“Soul of Winzlow”) on guitar for young children (pre-K to 2nd grade) and teaches them to draw characters from his books among other activities. Kondaki grew up in South Florida, which he describes as “a very diverse place.” The first character, Grimble Crumble, emerged from his imagination at the age of 14 or 15. “[The idea for] Winzlow came when I was 16 or 17.” He knew he had something special

INDY FILMMAKERS SPEEDING TO THE TOP The Indy film community is growing every year, despite little support from Hoosier legislators. Indiana is no longer a tax break state — meaning there used to be a tax break for filmmakers to shoot in Indiana, in the hopes it would entice big budget productions — to nothing. Amy Howell of Film Indiana, a commission to be a one-stop shop for filmmaker resources in the state, has already brought

he Log Lady (Catherine Coulson) joins FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan), Sheriff Harry S. Truman (Michael Ontkean), and Deputy Hawk (Michael Horse) by a circle of 12 sycamore trees in the forest, presenting them with a jar of oil given to her by her late husband. “This oil is an opening to a gateway,” she informs them. Cooper and Harry walk deeper into the dark forest, and Cooper states he must continue alone. From a distance, Harry watches as a red curtain materializes by the pool of oil. Cooper enters, and the curtain disappears with the lawman. In the Black Lodge, the Man from Another Place (Michael J. Anderson) tells Cooper he is in a waiting room. “When you see me again,” he states, “It won’t be me.” Laura Palmer appears and says, “I will see you again in 25 years.”

25 YEARS LATER More like 26 years actually, but close enough. Twin Peaks creators Mark Frost and David Lynch have made Laura Palmer’s prophecy come true. The pay cable network Showtime bankrolled the project and left creative control in Lynch’s hands. At first they spoke of an eight-hour miniseries. A few weeks later Lynch announced the deal had fallen through. The conflict was resolved and the project was confirmed. Lynch would direct every episode. Instead of eight episodes, the limited run series has 18 one-hour segments. The first two aired on Showtime Sunday. Twin Peaks: The Return will air every Sunday until

early September. In case you’re new to all of this, Twin Peaks was the first of the Holy-Shit-Is-ThisReally-On-TV network TV series. The public embraced it with great enthusiasm, for a while. The series began with the discovery of the body of cheerleader Laura Palmer dead … wrapped in plastic. People ate up every cryptic remark as they speculated on the identity of the killer. Lynch and Frost weren’t concerned. Their plan was to use the murder as their entryway into the picturesque Washington town. Once viewers got to know the townspeople, they could glide from one storyline to another. America disagreed. There were complaints over Lynch’s long takes from viewers that felt he was toying with them for no good reason. And they wanted the damn murder solved! For many, the speculation had long stopped being fun. The network (ABC by the way — can you believe it?) pressed them, and in the ninth episode of the second season, Frost and Lynch revealed everything in one of the finest hours of television I have ever seen. Alas, most people had moved on. The audience cheered and I felt sad. The series limped along until the end of its second season, when the creators tried desperately to stave off cancellation. Lynch directed the final hour, which was – hands down – the freakiest hour ever aired on network TV. So there you go and here we are. Twin Peaks: The Return. I had planned to review the segments I watched over the weekend, but how do you assess the opening of a mega-movie?

local filmmakers, as well. In light of this growth, we called on our screens writer Sam Watermeier for a few of the local filmmakers making their names

I can tell you a few things. So far the production has jumped between Twin Peaks, NYC, Las Vegas, and a small town in South Dakota. Lynch does numerous long takes. I liked them. Cooper is still trapped in the Black Lodge, while his skeevy doppelganger kills casually in our world. Cooper gets loose — he shouldn’t be able to coexist in the same world with his evil double. The Man from Another Place was correct, incidentally. He isn’t him anymore. I’m not going to try to explain what he is. There is a great deal of ugliness. People are murdered, especially female people. Humor is interwoven with the weirdness.There’s a bit of business involving an echolalic traveler in a casino that reminded me of a scene in Vonnegut’s Breakfast of Champions. Deputy Andy (Harry Goaz) and Lucy the receptionist (Kimmie Robertson) are now married, but still behaving like loons. So far Twin Peaks: The Return is jarring, disturbing, frustrating, fascinating, a little bit funny, and a lot weird. I hope we get to spend more time in Twin Peaks soon, but I’m in it for the full run. Please note that as I watched the show on my glowing PC I saw a young man assigned to watch a glowing box. He elects to have sex with someone instead. He pays a huge price. Maybe I’m reading meaning where there is none, but I think David Lynch is telling us that not watching is not an option. N

A GOLDEN MICROBAR W BY CAVAN McGINSIE // CMCGINSIE@NUVO.NET

alking through Bar One Fourteen’s unassuming, simply-labeled glass door at 49th street and Pennsylvania, you feel like you’re not supposed to be there. Not because it’s uninviting — it’s one the most inviting rooms you’ll find in Indianapolis — but because it feels like you just walked into someone’s private party. That’s because Bar One Fourteen, the newest member of the Patachou family, is about as intimate a space as you will find in the city. According to David Hoover, Bar One Fourteen’s chef and the son of owner, Martha Hoover, that is because the place was designed for the Hoover family and friends. “I really think when [Martha] built this she literally wanted it to be for herself and her friends and our family,” he says with a laugh. Once he mentions that, it becomes obvious that Bar One Fourteen looks like a parlor you would find in someone’s mansion; picture a scene filled with close friends listening to music and having frivolous conversation. The fact that there are only

NEW BAR // Bar One Fourteen HOURS // Thursday, Friday and Saturday RESERVATIONS // text or call: 317-946-0114

16 seats available in the space adds to the exclusivity of microbar. “I think there’s something nice about it being so intimate, it makes it feel fun,” Hoover says. “I love it in here once the lights dim down and it gets very sexy.” He then looks around the room, “I mean even with the fridge and the way it’s setup it feel like someone’s home, which is nice.” In that kitchen Hoover crafted a menu that fits the opulence of the gilded room. After spending the past few years abroad — first in culinary school in Paris and then in the kitchen of a Michelin-star-holding restaurant in Copenhagen named Relæ — he credits these experiences as the inspirations for the menu. “I try not to directly copy what they’re doing,” he says. “But I steal techniques. It’s hard not to once you see some amazing technique they’re doing.” This inspiration led to menu items like a

soft scrambled egg with white sturgeon caviar atop and morels with asparagus, ramps and egg yolk. Bar One Fourteen has a burger, aptly named the Fancy AF burger, that is topped with shaved black truffle. While it’s luxurious, prices range from $5 to $28, with an average price of around $16. Everything on the nine-item menu is intriguing — you’d be hard-pressed to find them on any other menu in the city — and crafted with the utmost care. “Starting with the simplest thing, we have a baker just a couple of blocks down who works for Patachou and he makes an amazing sourdough bread,” Hoover says. “And then I culture cream and make my own butter here. So it’s very simple, but it’s homemade and super tasty. We also have a crudité plate which is an assortment of raw vegetables, but with each vegetable I try and do something interesting, whether it be marinating the vegetable or an individual sauce — it’s very beautiful.” Much like the food menu, bartender James Langten crafted a small but well-rounded bar menu. The maitais served in golden pineapple chalices have garnered early acclaim. While those gilded drinks are the most popular cocktail choice, David says bourbon-based Chomsky and Blood Orange Paloma are also favorites. One cocktail, The Sage Foundation, has an interesting build which includes botanicals from another Patachou restaurant Public Greens. All proceeds from The Sage Foundation’s sale benefit the Patachou Foundation, which serves nutritional after-school meals to food-insecure students in Indianapolis. Little aspects like this that make you realize that, despite the seeming extravagance this bar fits under the farm-to-table Patachou umbrella. Small accents make sure Bar One Fourteen doesn’t feel too pretentious, like the black wall near the entrance that has a display of vinyl records ranging from Bowie and Radiohead to Winehouse and Marley. The albums are a conglomeration from the personal collections of

Martha and her family. “My grandpa was a huge music fan,” Hoover says. “He had like a thousand records I’ve been going through. He was a huge jazz guy, classical music. And then my mom, and her sister, and her brother, all have a ton of rock and roll albums. And that’s what we’ve been going through.” The albums are played nightly on a custom record player. The team wants guests to bring in their own albums to play throughout the evening as well. Bar One Fourteen is open only three nights a week (Thursday, Friday, Saturday) and reservations are a must — even though Hoover says they try and always have at least one two-top available for a walk-in. Like David says, the miniature space was created as a haven for Martha Hoover from her busy life as an Indy restaurateur, and so it truly invites guests to come in with a close group of friends to escape from the outside world — just pay attention to each other, the food, the drinks and the music.

TYRON COOPER DOES IT ALL

BY KYLE LONG // KLONG@NUVO.NET

yron Cooper is the type of musician who excels at every aspect of his art, from composing, to singing, to instrumental skills. And it’s not hard to imagine that Tyron could channel these gifts for fortune and fame in the popular market. Instead he’s chosen to dedicate his craft to community and education. While he’s graced the stages of many concert halls, you’re more likely to find Tyron working in a college classroom or house of worship. Though he never explicitly stated this during our hour-plus interview, I get the feeling Tyron views making music an act of public service. As I witnessed at his opening act for Dr. John last year, Cooper’s voice evokes shades of bossa nova and gospel, while his hands shape out a complex jazzy accompaniment on the guitar. The resulting sound was at once earthy and ethereal. Though he’s been performing music since childhood, Tyron has only recently started making a serious foray into stepping out as a solo act. Much of his work in the past was relatively in the background, working with large choral ensembles, performing as an accompanist on the guitar, or writing scores for documentary films. In addition to his position as assistant professor in the department of African-American and African Diaspora Studies at Indiana University, Cooper has also served as the director of the IU Soul Revue.

KYLE LONG: You’re a world class guitarist, vocalist, music director, and an award winning composer. I’m going to ask later about some of your recent solo work, but I wanted 18 // MUSIC // 05.24.17 - 05.31.17 // 100% SUSTAINABLE / RECYCLED PAPER // NUVO.NET

to get a sense of your musical roots. I understand you have a long career in music going back to your childhood when you were part of the Cooper Singers, a family gospel group led by your parents. TYRON COOPER: That’s right, I actually started playing music at around four years old. My father was, and is a guitarist. My mom is a vocalist, and she plays some piano, and she also plays some some blues guitar too. Myself and my siblings, five boys and one girl grew up touring the Southeast coast as the Cooper Singers singing gospel music. When I think about getting into music, that was the primary experience that got me started, and that was my schooling for music in terms of understanding what music is supposed to do, and how music is supposed to convey deep meaning, and how music is supposed to transform the people for the better. When people think about gospel music they often think about the spiritual component of gospel music. But there is also a social component of gospel music, or a social commentary component about gospel music. There’s a song, I think it was by the Pilgrim Jubilees, it says, “Oh how I wish the day would come when our sisters and brothers would be as one. Oh what a day, what a beautiful day.” These songs were written in times of social upheaval, and these are gospel tunes. So gospel is not only this religious expression, it’s also this social-political expression. And this is nothing new; it goes back as far as 18th and 19th century Negro spirituals. You know the idea that the enslaved black folks would make these expressions that

NUVO.NET/MUSIC would not only look to heaven, but also to the North for freedom. It was a spiritual, and a socio-cultural expression. So that’s what I grew up understanding, kind of almost by default in a real intuitive way traveling with The Cooper Singers during that time. I did that literally from four years old up until the time I went to college, and in fact when I visit home even now, on occasion we still get together and and do a concert in the community, and the community still comes out and supports us. So the Cooper Singers still live on. I never forget my roots where I came from, because they still keep me grounded as a human being. You know I’ve gone to school and I’ve gotten three degrees: my bachelor’s in music education, jazz studies masters degree, and a Ph.D. in ethnomusicology. But when I go home, I’m not Tyron Cooper, the scholar. I’m – you know – you better be able to get down! You better move beyond the book! So, that’s the Cooper Singers. Then I went on to Bethune-Cookman. It was Bethune-Cookman College at that time, but it’s now Bethune-Cookman University and I got my music education degree. … When I went to college, I finally learned how to read music. Prior to that my musical background was from an oral tradition. We didn’t have charts. We didn’t have notes on the staff. We had our ears, and our heart, and our understanding of the cultural expectations towards us; what we were doing, and how people expected the music to move not only us, but most importantly, them as well. …

KYLE: I want to mention some of the artists that you’ve either performed with, or recorded with, or collaborated with in some way during your career, artists like Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, Bo Diddley, Lou Rawls, A Taste of Honey and Max Roach to name a few. It’s an extraordinary list of iconic musicians from a variety of genres. TYRON: You know I’ve been blessed to have different types of experiences. The artists that you just called out, you know I’ve performed with them on the live stage, or maybe laid a track for their recordings. There are so many different contexts that you get to interact with different artists. I will never forget working with Max Roach.

That was a really cool experience. At that time he was writing choral music, like choral jazz, and I was actually working at Bethune-Cookman College at that time as the assistant choral director. I had just come from Indiana University studying with Professor David Baker, and I ended up working with Max Roach for a couple of concerts where he was premiering some of his choral music. One of the things about me that caught him was that he’d written this whole thing with nonsense syllables, you know the scat type things? He had written these things out in his choral music, and I taught the choir how to articulate those things based on what I’d learned from David Baker. That was one of my greatest experiences working with Max Roach. But all of those artists I’ve worked with have added to who I am now.

KYLE: You’ve had a rich variety of experiences in music. In addition to being a scholar and a performer, you’re also a composer. You’ve recently composed some award winning film scores for documentaries produced by WFYI. How did you get started scoring films? TYRON: I was on a performance with Angela Brown, I think it was when WFYI was filming A Night at the Walker With Angela Brown, and I was an accompanist for Angela Brown at that performance. I ended a meeting with a couple of the producers at WFYI, and they asked me if I score? I said yes. [laughs] Honestly, I really got into it just by kind of rubbing shoulders with the guys at WFYI. They have trusted me with some serious projects, and they connected me to Ted Green, who is a phenomenal producer. The way he tells stories is like no other that I’ve seen in terms of his documentary work and doing fine-tuned research. But I felt like even before then, I’ve always kind of been scoring in my head. I’ve always had music in my head. Ever since I was a little boy I would walk around with soundtracks in my head. I had different music for different people. It sounds funny, but I had music for different people in my life. Everybody had a score when they walked in the room. It was something that went on in my head like, almost like a Shaft-type thing, you know? N

EMPLOYMENT

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Sin” is a puerile concept in my eyes, so I don’t normally use it to discuss grown-up concerns. But if you give me permission to invoke it in a jokey, ironic way, I’ll recommend that you cultivate more surprising, interesting, and original sins. In other words, Aries, it’s high time to get bored with your predictable ways of stirring up a ruckus. Ask God or Life to bring you some really evocative mischief that will show you what you’ve been missing and lead you to your next robust learning experience. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Attention, smart shoppers! Here’s a special spring fling offer! For a limited time only, you can get five cutesy oracles for the price of one! And you don’t have to pay a penny unless they all come true! Check ‘em out! Oracle #1: Should you wait patiently until all the conditions are absolutely perfect? No! Success comes from loving the mess. Oracle #2: Don’t try to stop a sideshow you’re opposed to. Stage a bigger, better show that overwhelms it. Oracle #3: Please, master, don’t be a slave to the things you control. Oracle #4: Unto your own self be true? Yes! Unto your own hype be true? No! Oracle #5: The tortoise will beat the hare as long as the tortoise doesn’t envy or try to emulate the hare. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Generation Kill is an HBO miniseries based on the experiences of a reporter embedded with American Marines fighting in Iraq. Early on, before the troops have been exposed to any serious combat, they’re overflowing with trash talk. A commanding officer scolds them: “Gentlemen, from now on we’re going to have to earn our stories.” Although you are in a much less volatile situation right now, Gemini, my advice to you is the same: In the coming weeks, you’ll have to earn your stories. You can’t afford to talk big unless you’re geared up to act big, too. You shouldn’t make promises and entertain dares and issue challenges unless you’re fully prepared to be a hero. Now here’s my prophecy: I think you will be a hero. CANCER (June 21-July 22): In your mind’s eye, drift back in time to a turning point in your past that didn’t go the way you’d hoped. But don’t dwell on the disappointment. Instead, change the memory. Visualize yourself then and there, but imagine you’re in possession of all the wisdom you have gathered since then. Next, picture an alternative ending to the old story — a finale in which you manage to pull off a much better result. Bask in this transformed state of mind for five minutes. Repeat the whole exercise at least once a day for the next two weeks. It will generate good medicine that will produce a creative breakthrough no later than mid-June. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’re being invited to boost your commitment to life and become a more vivid version of yourself. If you refuse the invitation, it will later return as a challenge. If you avoid that challenge, it will eventually circle back around to you as a demand. So I encourage you to respond now, while it’s still an invitation. To gather the information you’ll need, ask yourself these questions: What types of self-development are you “saving for later”? Are you harboring any mediocre goals or desires that dampen your lust for life? Do you tone down or hold back your ambitions for fear they would hurt or offend people you care about? VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Dear Dream Doctor: I dreamed that a crowd of people had decided to break through a locked door using a long, thick wooden plank as a battering ram. The only problem was, I was lying on top of the plank, half-asleep. By the time I realized what was up, the agitated crowd was already at work smashing at the door. Luckily for me, it went well. The door got bashed in and I wasn’t hurt. What does my dream mean? -Nervous Virgo.” Dear Virgo: Here’s my interpretation: It’s time to knock down a barrier, but

COLLEGE I.D. DISCOUNT

you’re not convinced you’re ready or can do it all by yourself. Luckily, there are forces in your life that are conspiring to help make sure you do it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): As long as you keep Syria, South Sudan, and North Korea off your itinerary, traveling would be food for your soul during the next 28 days. It would also be balm for your primal worries and medicine for your outworn dogmas and an antidote for your comfortable illusions. Do you have the time and money necessary to make a pilgrimage to a place you regard as holy? How about a jaunt to a rousing sanctuary? Or an excursion to an exotic refuge that will shock you in friendly, healing ways? I hope that you will at least read a book about the territory that you may one day call your home away from home. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): By now I’m sure you have tuned in to the rumblings in your deep self. Should you be concerned? Maybe a little, but I think the more reasonable attitude is curiosity. Even though the shaking is getting stronger and louder, it’s also becoming more melodic. The power that’s being unleashed will almost certainly turn out to be far more curative than destructive. The light it emits may at first look murky but will eventually bloom like a thousand moons. Maintain your sweet poise. Keep the graceful faith. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Life is inviting you to decode riddles about togetherness that could boost your emotional intelligence and earn you the right to enjoy lyrical new expressions of intimacy. Will you accept the invitation? Are you willing to transcend your habitual responses for the sake of your growth-inducing relationships? Are you interested in developing a greater capacity for collaboration and synergy? Would you be open to making a vulnerable fool of yourself if it helped your important alliances to fulfill their dormant potential? Be brave and empathetic, Sagittarius. Be creative and humble and affectionate. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “In youth we feel richer for every new illusion,” wrote author Anne Sophie Swetchine. “In maturer years, for every one we lose.” While that may be generally true, I think that even twenty-something Capricorns are likely to fall into the latter category in the coming weeks. Whatever your age, I foresee you shouting something akin to “Hallelujah!” or “Thank God!” or “Boomshakalaka flashbang!” as you purge disempowering fantasies that have kept you in bondage and naive beliefs that have led you astray. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “There are no green thumbs or black thumbs,” wrote horticulturalist Henry Mitchell in a message you were destined to hear at this exact moment. “There are only gardeners and non-gardeners. Gardeners are the ones who get on with the high defiance of nature herself, creating, in the very face of her chaos and tornado, the bower of roses and the pride of irises. It sounds very well to garden a ‘natural way.’ You may see the natural way in any desert, any swamp, any leech-filled laurel hell. Defiance, on the other hand, is what makes gardeners.” Happy Defiance Time to you, Aquarius! In the coming weeks, I hope you will express the most determined and disciplined fertility ever! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I believe it may be the right time to tinker with or repair a foundation; to dig down to the bottom of an old resource and consider transforming it at its roots. Why? After all this time, that foundation or resource needs your fresh attention. It could be lacking a nutrient that has gradually disappeared. Maybe it would flourish better if it got the benefit of the wisdom you have gained since it first became useful for you. Only you have the power to discern the real reasons, Pisces — and they may not be immediately apparent. Be tender and patient and candid as you explore.
