“I
n this day and age, we have forgotten that despite our different faiths and backgrounds, all world religions come from the same three principles — love, respect and compassion,” said Immad Ahmed, executive director of OBAT Helpers, Inc., to a crowd of varying faiths gathered Sunday evening on the tenth day of Ramadan. OBAT Helpers, Inc. and the Center for Interfaith Cooperation hosted the Interfaith Iftar at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church on the city’s north side. An iftar is a meal Muslims eat after sunset during Ramadan, a 30-day holiday period in the Islamic faith. During this time, Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset, consuming no food or water during that time. When the sun sets the fast is broken after a period of prayer. The period of fasting is meant to be a physical representation of the spiritual cleansing and atonement that is to take place during Ramadan. In addition to fasting, Muslims are supposed to refrain from any activity or thoughts considered unkind or impure during Ramadan. Many describe it as a “ reset button” on life, a time for self-restraint and self-reflection. It is common in the tradition for the iftar to be shared among friends and family. The interfaith iftar opened that traditional experience to people of differing faiths with the goal of showing that our similarities

outnumber our differences. Dr. Eyas Raddad, a researcher at Eli Lilly, explained the fundamental belief and traditions of Ramadan and the significance of the fasting. Raddad also illustrated the interconnections between Islam, Christianity and Judaism by describing the connections between the most revered prophets or holy men of each faith — Mohammed, Jesus and Moses. All three had teachings that are similar and celebrated in each faith and each man fasted. George Kelly, education director at Congregation Beth El-Zedeck, talked about the fasting traditions associated with the Jewish faith and the concept of atonement. While Ramadan is a period of atonement for Muslims, Jews encounter the same idea of the “reset button” through Yom Kippur and the high holy days of the Jewish faith. Kelly also described how the fasting not only cleans the body, but the mind and spirit as well, opening us up to hear God and each other. Rev. Michael Mather, senior pastor at Broadway United Methodist Church, added to the conversation not so much the concept of fasting, but rather taking the time to step back and listen to each other. The season of Lent, the 40 days and 40 nights leading up to Easter, is the Christian’s period of atonement. The concept of fasting during that time isn’t necessarily literal (although
there are some sections of the faith that will incorporate fasting into the time of Lent), but the period of self-restraint, self-reflection and atonement are literal during the season. Mather continued Kelly’s reflection of dismissing the noise to truly hear each other, both practically as well as spiritually. Members of the world’s three largest faiths all speaking of and to their own faiths as well as each other’s faith — that was the goal of the evening according to Ahmed. “That is how peace is achieved, through mutual understanding,” says Ahmed. “It is so important for us to remember that, especially in this time.” Ahmed’s meaning of “this time.” was never directly defined, but everyone in the room knew exactly what he meant. People attending the late night meal woke up Monday like the rest of us — to tweets from President Trump reiterating his desire to ban travel from majority Muslim countries to the United States. The president’s latest attempt to deny access to America based on one’s religion is under review by the U.S. Supreme Court. The message from the iftar — the reminder that regardless of our faith (and even including those who live without a belief in a deity or eternal being) love, respect and compassion are what bind us as humankind — could not have been more timely if planned.

to call home. Although the Red Cross set up temporary housing in camps across the country, those camps have been home to 300,000 people for 45 years now. In 1993, Kahn went back to the place he left 20 years prior and found a dreadful situation. Thousands of people were living in conditions with little to no access to clean drinking water, sanitation, healthcare and education. Kahn and his wife, Afshan, founded OBAT Helpers with the friends they had made here in Indianapolis with the goal of doing what they could to make life a little better for the people encamped in Bangladesh. Officially incorporated as a non-profit non-religious charitable organization in 2004, OBAT Helpers works within the camps to create deep tube wells for clean water, builds camp bathrooms to address sanitation issues, and establishes clinics and schools to address healthcare and education issues. The organization’s specific mission “is to work for the welfare, support and empowerment of indigent and displaced people. The key focus is on alleviating the suffering of thousands of internally displaced people stranded in makeshift camps in Bangladesh by providing them with better living conditions, education and economic skills and opportunities.” OBAT is an acronym representing the parents of Anwar and Afshan Kahn — Obaid, Bilquis, Aman & Tayyaba.

he very first Indy Pride festival was itself an act of revolution. “The first pride in Indy, people walked around with bags over their heads to preserve anonymity,” says Kit Malone, a new board member of Indy Pride and the Transgender Education and Advocacy Coordinator at the ACLU of Indiana. Now Indy Pride, the host of Indianapolis’ Circle City IN Pride, is being called on by the community to be more. To do more. And, most of all, to truly represent LGBTQ Indy. … And that is something that is causing growth, and well, growing pains at Indy Pride. Today, Indy Pride seeks to be more inclusive and to not just exist as a boozesoaked (albeit wonderful and more important than ever) festival. Indy Pride is doing something that they have never

“... When you look at the LGBTQ community you have all of the diversity that comes in that spectrum. When you go a layer deeper, there are all these intersections of the different life experiences that impact and shape our frame of perspective. Within that as a community, and as a Pride organization, you have to balance all of the diversity in the spectrum and see the perspective that is the intersection between all of that. “So as a gay cisgender male from a relatively poor background, those are my frameworks,” says Nolen-Doerr. “While I have been blessed and privileged to have gone through an extensive educational experience, I also know that there are individuals in our same spectrum who are gay white men who don’t have those privileges; there are lesbian women of color, there are trans men of color, there are trans women of color who have a totally different experience.
NUVO.NET/THEBIGSTORY “As a pride organization we are trying to look at that all of the time and assess what we do and how it touches lives. I don’t know that as a community we always thought about that.” To reach a community outside of your own, first you have to let the members of that community have a seat at the table. For Indy Pride, that meant following the slate model to fill empty seats on the board. A slate model is exactly what it sounds like; a process to diversify the board of Indy Pride by allowing existing board members to slate in candidates that they choose; then, have the membership (currertly 639, up from 230 in January of 2016) vote. “The board itself can select an entire slate of candidates but the board itself can vote that entire slate down,” says Malone, who was chosen by the board in the winter of 2016. “Not entirely un-democratic at all.” “It’s an opportunity for the board to choose people based on a variety of things,” she continues, namely on qualifications and racial, economic and gender diversity. According to Malone, this year holds the largest amount of women on the board in Indy Pride’s history. The current board includes two cisgender white women, one transgender white woman, and eight cisgender white men. Nolen-Doerr notes that, “six of these men are from the original popular election model that placed 11 cis white men onto the Board despite having a diverse pool of candidates. These election results in 2015 were the driving force behind the adoption of the slate model. The typical slate process once adopted, takes at least two cycles to full diversify a non-diverse board.” “As a point of clarification, I never experienced any hostility, blatant discrim-
ination or fear of being unwanted because I happen to be a person of color serving an organization primarily composed of white males,” says Rick Burt, former secretary of the Indy Pride board. “I do believe my work, although limited, impacted the overall growth goal of Indy Pride to illustrate a more inclusive governance model. ... I also believe that the public illustration of a person of color on the Board welcomes openly other members who may not have felt they had a voice, vote or role within the overall governance of Indy Pride. “Overall, as an association professional who has worked with nonprofit organizations my entire career, I know and believe that Indy Pride will ultimately be successful in its efforts to involve and engage more diverse members of its community in the governance of the KIT MALONE WITH THE ACLU OF INDIANA organization,” says // PHOTO BY MARK A. LEE Burt. “It takes time to change course of an organization such as Indy Pride. I like to compare it to the analogy of a cruise ship vs. a speed boat. The cruise ship is large, has a steep tradition of history and lots of stakeholders; as such it takes slow steady turns in order to make change a reality, whereas a speed boat is small and nimble and often times doesn’t have as much baggage and stakeholders, as it can quickly make turns on its journey.” The slate model is the begining of a slow steady change. When the slate model was introduced, there was a heated debate. Some thought that the board would pick candidates who were their friends. Malone notes though, that this round there were more community members than board members who ran. Malone feels this is a deep-seated issue. “What is really going on here is that Pride, for a long time, has been struggling with diversity on its board,” she says.

The Big Story Continued...
After the election at the end of 2015, which brought on now-president Nolen-Doerr, there were 17 board members. One of them was a person of color. The other 16 were all white. “That’s not for lack of diversity in the applicant pool,” says Nolen-Doerr. “There were individuals who are women who were not elected. There were individuals who identify as non-binary who were not elected. All white men were elected [at the time].” He recognized that there was something wrong. “If we are going to say this organization is representative of this community, it needs to take steps to represent this community,” says Nolen-Doerr. The problem, to him, is that some non-profit election models favor the majority —gay white men in Indy Pride’s case. Traditionally the election ran how you would expect: submit an application, run for an empty seat on the board and the members vote on whether you get it or not. That is where the slate model helps — after a few round of elections it will ideally be a visibly different board makeup. The model is common among non-profits. Now that the board is handpicking people, Nolen-Doerr says that’s also to avoid a popularity game. He goes onto say that the method works well if they’re trying to fulfill a specific need on the board, like a treasurer. It lets them pick someone with actual experience. “The popular election model doesn’t always let us get that person,” says Nolen-Doerr. “They could be the best treasurer in the world… but because their name is unrecognized on a ballet they don’t get voted into the position. The organization suffers as a result. “The idea is that if we create a mechanism where people of diverse backgrounds get into positions we are creating a future where they will seek out positions,” he says. “If there is a person with a diverse background who wants to lead the organization, I am going to push them to do that. And I am going to step out of the way.” The finalists for the newly created

Executive Director job — the first and only full-time and paid position within Indy Pride as an organization — are both white men. The two finalists who advanced to the town hall meeting were representative of strong backgrounds in business and nonprofit management,” says Nolen-Doerr. “Although Indy Pride strives to be a community-focused organization, it must also consider the business aspect of non-profit development. (As of publication, the executive director has not been announced.) When NUVO asked Nolen-Doerr why the board selected two white men as the finalists, especially in light of the attention to the slate model, he said: “The Selection Committee was an independent committee consisting of board members, general members, and community partner leaders. The committee reviewed 65 applicants, completed 15 phone interviews, and four in-person

finalist interviews. While we do not know the racial makeup of all candidates during the initial review process because of legal requirements within job applications, two of the four finalists interviewed in person identified as African American women. The two finalists that advanced to the town hall were chosen based on interview performance, past experience and perceived ability to connect to the ever-broadening diversity within the LGBTQ+ community.” The position will carry a lot of weight. First and foremost, extending Indy Pride into a year-round voice for the LGBTQ community.
MORE THAN ONE DAY A YEAR Nolen-Doerr will be leaving Indy later this year to move to Boston with his husband. Until then he is trying to be in as many diverse spaces as possible to listen and help guide the new executive director. One of the things he has done over the last year is push Pride to be active in more than just June. Sadly that was kicked into action by tragedy last year. After the Pulse shooting, Indy Pride hosted 11 reaction events and memorials. “Pride isn’t just one day a year,” says Nolen-Doerr. “It’s 365 days a year trying to give people hope, trying to give people opportunity, trying to give them resources and enhance their lives. There are people doing it far better than Pride would ever hope to be; so why try and create our own stuff?” He visualizes Pride as a wagon wheel — with Indy Pride being the hub and
other LGBTQ organizations in the city all connecting to one another. “The first of those steps is our partnership with IYG,” says Nolen-Doerr. Indy Pride is moving into a permanent home on the third floor of the new Indiana Youth Group building on Meridian Street. Indy Pride also announced a commitment to $165,000 in donations to IYG over the next three years. The idea is to provide a leadership space for youth as they age out of IYG. Currently, only those under 21 are permitted to attend IYG events. The hope is that when kids are too old to attend IYG events, they can literally walk upstairs and find the same community there. And Nolen-Doerr hopes that they become leaders in that realm. “If we can enhance the developmental time period that a youth is in … that 13-18 to 21 range, if we can help them be in a space where they are safe and able to develop, we are creating the future leaders of Indy Pride,” says Nolen-Doerr. “There is a little bit of a selfishness there knowing that if we can help there, they are going to long-term help us.” Pride has discussed holding a “youth seat” on the Pride board, reserved for someone to add a youthful perspective and voice to the decisions they make. Chris Paulsen, this year’s campaign manager of Freedom Indiana, a two-year member of the IYG Facilities Committee and the honorary co-chair of the Capital Campaign, has helped foster the relationship between IYG and Pride. “It gives youth somewhere to go, to feel useful, to help, and it gives Indy Pride stronger members,” says Paulsen. IYG started their $2.6 million dollar capital campaign in August 2016, and has met 90 percent of the amount they need for construction on the new building. The space will offer youth protection, safety, creative outlets, counseling and on-site testing for diseases and infections like HIV. IYG noted in a recent press release that they need the last 10 percent of the $2.6 million by the end of June. Indy Pride hopes to someday be able to help more groups like IYG. They want to be a grant and funding source, increasing
NUVO.NET/THEBIGSTORY THIS YEAR’S RAINBOW 5K // PHOTOS BY INDY PRIDE
the amount of money that can go back into the community. “We can’t do that when our sole source of revenue is alcohol sales at a festival,” says Nolen-Doerr.
FESTIVAL CHANGES Indy Pride announced earlier this year a new $5 admission for Circle City IN Pride — and that was met with push back. Many have criticized Indy Pride for the admission charge; saying that if pride is about being inclusive then how can they add an element that might prevent some from attending? Also announced is a change in location; the festival will be held at Military Park instead of the American Legion Mall. According to Nolen-Doerr, the choice to charge admission didn’t come from a lack of funds, but rather an institutional shift. He mentions that Indy Pride’s budget is at a place where they can start to give back to the community in large sums like they have promised IYG. And that’s not to mention that sponsorships for the festival are the highest they have ever been. “I don’t want an admission fee to keep us from being successful,” says Nolen-Doerr. “Knowing that there were time periods when I grew up, that we didn’t know what lunch was going to be… I think about that time period. I think about the individuals coming to pride [events] where pride is their one time a year to be who they are.” He gave the example of someone leaving home, saying they are going Downtown to shop for the day wearing one
outfit and carrying another to change into — all in pursuit of Circle City IN Pride being the one time a year that they can safely dress as, identify and be who they are. “I don’t want anyone in that position, and no one on the board wants anyone, to be in a position where they couldn’t come and enjoy pride,” says Nolen-Doerr. Indy Pride is offering solidarity tickets that people can buy in advance for those who can’t afford it. Those will be held at the gate and if someone can’t afford the price, those tickets are there to cover their entrance. Indy Pride also wanted to make sure and give community partners like the Damien Center, IYG and more plenty free tickets to hand out at their facilities. “The intention of the admission fee is to enhance your life, to give that right back to the community,” says Nolen-Doerr. “No one makes money from pride.” The festival costs $350,000 to run smoothly. Most of that is covered by sponsorships. Historically much of those sponsorships came from alcohol vendors. However, Nolen-Doerr would like to diminish the reliance on alcohol as a source of income. “In our community we have higher rates of alcohol and substance abuse than any other segment,” says Nolen-Doerr. “We have to be acknowledging that.” (Salesforce, Delta, PNC bank are all large sponsors.) Alcohol sales and donations have both decreased in the last two years, but that is not impacting the Pride budget, Nolen-Poerr says. They still have a large reserve NUVO.NET // 06.07.17 - 06.14.17 // THE BIG STORY // 9

and, according to Nolen-Doerr, can now give back to the community. Nolen-Doerr hopes that people will see the $5 charge — $4 if bought in advance — at the gate as a donation to organizations who are fighting for the safety, protection and lives of LGBTQ people in Indiana. “In the past year, the Indianapolis LGBTQ+ community presented a need for more resources that the admission fee positions Indy Pride to provide,” says Nolen-Doerr. “What the admission fee is used for ultimately hinges on the success of the festival, this year and in the years to come. Unfortunately, I cannot give firm numbers until we see how June goes. “As a baseline, the admission fee goes to fund several key initiatives and campaigns,” says Nolen-Doerr. “Our $165,000 three year commitment to IYG is one example. We hope to be able to offer similar commitments to other LGBTQ+ supporting community partners over the course of the next several years. We will

will be possible. We view the admission fee as an investment in the future and something that will allow us to support, not just the festival and not just Indy Pride events, but a broad spectrum of programs and organizations that serve our LGBTQ+ community, day in and day out, far beyond the month of June.” They started looking at the American Legion Mall and considering if it was the best choice to host the festival. “The challenge is that it drops in the middle with these hills and makes it a challenge for those with any sort of accessibility needs to navigate our festival,” says Nolen-Doerr. “As an organization that is moving to pride itself on being inclusive, that is not encompassing inclusivity.” Military Park adds three usable acres more than they had before. It’s also all flat and mostly shaded. Nolen-Doerr is concerned about security, after Pulse and terrorism attacks on festivals and concerts over the last year. Right
now they can’t afford to beef up security. “We are in a position where we can’t make our event safer, and that’s a really sad space to be,” he says. Protection in many realms is a focus of LGBTQ groups right now. Paulsen thinks that in a few years that Indiana might actually be able to push through hate crime protections through the legislature. “Those groups [like Indy Pride and IYG] are going to be important to keep people together and let them know what’s going on,” says Paulsen. It is up to organizations like Indy Pride to step outside of the festival and board meetings. It is up to them to be a face for LGBTQ rights in Indianapolis. “[Years ago] literally just walking down the street saying ‘we’re here, we’re queer,’ that was a revolutionary act,” says Malone. “I think now it takes more than just existing… you have to be an advocate, particularly for people who don’t have the ability to be visible safely.” N

BLOOD AND BONES
Popular horror podcast hosts a live recording in Indy BY SETH JOHNSON // ARTS@NUVO.NET
D
uring his earlier years in radio, Marcus Parks distinctly remembers a boss telling him that there was no future in podcasts. “He said, ‘It’s an amateur medium; anyone can do it,’” Parks recalls. Now years later, Parks has proven his former boss wrong. Parks is a co-host of the wildly successful Last Podcast on the Left. Nominated for a 2017 Webby award under the new Comedy (Podcasts and Digital Audio) category, the Last Podcast on the Left (or LPOTL) features Ben Kissel, Henry Zebrowski and Parks exploring the horrors of the world both imagined and real. With weekly episodes about everything from Kurt Cobain’s death to Bigfoot hunters, LOPTL is also now known for their live shows, which often take place in jam-packed rock ‘n’ roll clubs around the country. On Saturday, June 10 Indianapolis will get a taste of this madness when Kissel, Zebrowski, and Parks visit the Hi-Fi for a sold out night of twisted whimsy. Long before his days of researching juicy controversies with LPOTL, Parks worked for The Onion, where he was a fact-checker and audio editor. Through this position, he was properly introduced to the world of comedy. “For me, comedy has been a total accident,” he says. “I didn’t mean to get into comedy at all; it just kind of happened that way.” While at The Onion, one of Parks’ main responsibilities was fact-checking the media company’s atlas-style book Our Dumb World — a task that helped prepare him for his current researching role with LPOTL. “They would essentially give me all this information about countries they were covering, and I had to make sure the factual things they
12 // BOOKS // 06.07.17 - 06.14.17 // 100% SUSTAINABLE / RECYCLED PAPER // NUVO.NET
were saying in order to make jokes were actually factual,” he says. “So I learned a lot in that capacity as far as research went, which was another thing that was totally by accident.” While working for a radio station in New York, Parks crossed paths with Kissel for an interview assignment, and the two hit it off immediately. “Me and Ben had this long conversation about Sasha Grey, the porn star, during our interview, and I had to cut it all out [for my assignment],” Parks says. “But we just kind of realized, ‘Well shit. Why don’t we just start working together?’” After also bonding over their shared admiration for horror movies, Kissel and Parks decided to start LPOTL. “The first two episodes of Last Podcast are just Ben and me talking about horror movies,” Parks says, mentioning that Zebrowski came on board via a guest appearance in episode three. “Over a few years, we’ve molded the show and tried a whole bunch of different formats and things, and I really don’t think we found our voice and figured out what we
were doing until about 60 or 70 episodes in.” Now with more than 270 episodes under their belt, the LPOTL trio has become best known for their in-depth serial killer narratives. Although always humorous, each episode is also full of facts, which Parks collects with the help of an experienced team. “As the years have gone on, the research process has gotten a lot more involved,” he says, adding that he now has forensic and psychology experts to call upon for guidance. In addition to the facts, Parks also knows that each podcast must be entertaining as well. “One of the things we learned about the show is the episodes need to have a story of some kind, so you kind of have to follow the narrative wherever it takes you,” he says. “Part of my job as the main researcher is also looking for the things that Henry and Ben are able to make jokes about.” With such heavy subject matter, the trio is intentional with what details they do and don’t share about serial killers. “We’re not the type of show to really focus on brutality,” Parks says, adding that an episode on the Oklahoma City bombing is currently in the works. “We like to focus on the killers and how big of idiots they are.” With this in mind, he hopes that fans realize he and his LOPTL pals are ultimately just normal dudes and not crazed psychopaths. “It’s difficult to really immerse yourself in this stuff week after week, which is why we have to do the more silly episodes too,” he concludes. “I think people have this vision of us being in our houses covered in blood and surrounded by bones 24/7, when we’re all just regular guys that need a break from this stuff every once and awhile.” N

MINI BUT MIGHTY
18-hole putt-putt golf course returns to the IMA BY BRIAN WEISS // BWEISS@NUVO.NET STROLL GARDENS //
A
s I’m led through the Indianapolis Museum of Art towards the newly opened Mini Golf at the IMA exhibition, I pass by Robert Indiana’s famous LOVE sculpture, now on display inside the IMA galleries. “Better enjoy this love while it lasts,” I jokingly say to Brad, my competition for the day.
The mini golf exhibition debuted at the IMA last summer, bringing thousands of putt-putt loving Hoosiers to the IMA grounds. And it returns this year with 15 new artist-designed holes, a new theme — “Natural World” — and new amenities like beverage holders and shade platforms. More than 60 artists submitted hole

designs for this year’s course, said Jeremy Shubrook, IMA’s director of festivals, performance and public programs. A board whittled that number down to 15 by selecting holes that fit several criteria like playability and how relevant it was to the theme. Shubrook and his team made sure artists stuck to the original plan by making regular check ups throughout the building process. The end result is a course that is strikingly beautiful, deceivingly difficult and educational. With each hole’s design inspired by nature in one form or another, the course goes hand-in-hand with other exhibitions around the IMA campus. Guests will be able to putt through a giant honey bee in the “To Bee or Not to Bee” hole, take a tour of Africa’s unique wildlife in “Putting Around Africa” and intentionally hit the water hazard in “White River Putt.” Every hole throughout the course has an information board before you putt so guests can read up on the artist and their inspiration
for the hole’s design. And when it comes to design, Kevin Bielicki’s “Stroll Gardens” hole was easily my favorite in this year’s course. Bielicki produced a miniature Japanese Zen Garden, which will definitely help you calm down if the first half of the course didn’t play in your favor. The intricacies Bielicki included in the hole’s design stood out to me as soon as I walked up to it. While one might think the course is easy because of its artistic nature, it’s quite the opposite. Holes are designed to test your skill and they force you to make strategic decisions throughout. There were several instances where I imitated Happy Gilmore and came seconds from throwing my putter. Pro tip: don’t throw your putter. As we finished our round and totaled our scores, realization sunk in that my score wasn’t good enough for the IMA’s leaderboard. I did get the better of Brad this time around, although I guarantee he’ll want to return to exact his revenge some time before the exhibition closes on September 4. N

A BIT ABOUT RACHEL And some about us, too
BY ED JOHNSON-OTT // EJOHNSONOTT@NUVO.NET
I
generally avoid Victorian-era British romantic dramas, but I like My Cousin Rachel. Pretty good opening sentence, eh? Draws you right into the essay. If you’re a fan of the genre, you now know that even if I make some wisecracks about Victorian-era British romantic dramas, I won’t be harsh to this one. And if you share my general distaste for this kind of film, you’ll want to keep reading so that you can find out why I enjoyed this one. It’s a little mystery. What fun! The paragraph you just read is the result of stream-of-consciousness writing. I do this a lot (albeit in smaller doses), but I rarely draw your attention to it. That’s because I understand that, while many of my regular readers find it entertaining when I go on a tangent, others find the practice indulgent and irritating. I’m almost ready to explain why I like My Cousin Rachel, but first I want to answer the readers that ask why I refer to my weekly pieces as essays instead of reviews. I do it because a movie review should address and weigh all the pieces of a movie — from the cinematography to the score — before offering an informed critique of the production. As is obvious, I don’t do that. I just watch movies and tell you about the experience. I refer to my stuff as “essays” because that’s the most appropriate term. At this point even my most devoted readers are probably wondering why I’m still talking about the essay instead of the movie. Well … NUVO arts editor Emily Taylor is leaving the paper at the end of the week for a new job. Emily is smart, personable and devoted to doing her best and bringing out the best in others. She’s going to accomplish great things in her new position. Thanks for everything, Emily. And congratulations. Now about the movie … Rachel Weisz and Sam Claflin star in My Cousin Rachel, the second adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s romantic thriller set in the late-1830s on a gorgeous estate near England’s southern coast. Roger Miller
WHAT // My Cousin Rachel (2017) SHOWING // Landmark Keystone Art (PG) ED SAYS // e
directs, but Weisz owns the movie. Claflin plays Philip Ashley, who worships his beloved cousin and guardian Ambrose. Philip is devastated when Ambrose dies. He heads for the estate to meet the widow Rachel, convinced that she murdered his beloved cousin, based on a series of increasingly disturbing messages Ambrose scrawled on the inner edges of letters sent to Philip. Ready for an epic confrontation, Philip (who is a self-absorbed boob, a real numpty) finally meets Rachel, who turns out to be charming. Philip is smitten, and Rachel is shaken by how much the young man looks like her deceased husband. Sparks fly … well, they certainly fly from Philip. As for Rachel, we watch and wonder if she is the person she appears to be, or an opportunist who knocked off her husband and may have similar plans for Philip. I generally avoid Victorian-era British romantic dramas because the stuffiness and repression make me angry. Our time on Earth is too short to spend our days tip-toeing around to avoid pissing off others. Thankfully, My Cousin Rachel pays little regard to what the neighbors think. That’s all the plot I’m going to address. Suffice to say that the “what are Rachel’s true intentions” mystery is compelling, even during the slightly saggy middle portion of the film (don’t blame the filmmakers — saggy middle portions are mandatory for the genre). Rael Jones’ score is what you’d expect for a period mystery. It’s overbearing at times, but generally effective. The scenery is gorgeous. I intend to watch My Cousin Rachel again. Yes, it’s good enough to warrant a second look-see from a cranky essayist like me. And with that I need to wrap this up. For the last time, I need to get my work to my editor, Emily Taylor. N
PUBLIC GREENS BRINGS FARM-TO-TABLE TO THE FASHION MALL //
BALLS, BREAKFAST, BEEF AND BEER
Six new restaurants coming to Indy’s Northside BY CAVAN McGINSIE // CMCGINSIE@NUVO.NET
I
ndy’s Northside is feeling the new-restaurant love this summer as more places take a dive into Fishers, Keystone, Carmel and the surrounding areas. While Indy’s donut counties are a land of chains, it’s nice to see that the majority of them are at least regional chains and in many instances one-of-a-kind. Local restaurant groups and breweries, including Patachou Inc. and Sun King Brewing, are bringing new spots to the area, which is an exciting change. A few more places are heading into the north in the future and we’ve compiled a few that we’re really excited for.
1. MIMI BLUE MEATBALLS Keystone These aren’t the frozen meatballs your mom served over limp noodles. The third location for this local chain will open at 16 // FOOD+DRINK // 06.07.17 - 06.14.17 // 100% SUSTAINABLE / RECYCLED PAPER // NUVO.NET
the Fashion Mall in the near future, which means you get to take a quick meat break while you’re shopping. The restaurant gets its name from the Kosene family matriarch and they strive to honor her with the food, drink and service. The menu is pretty straightforward with an offering of differing meatball styles including classic beef, buffalo turkey and even veggie and a series of sauces to choose from like marinara, spicy bolognese and spicy cilantro. (Hint: Even if you’re not vegetarian, the veggie balls are by far the most interesting.) There are also plenty of sides, salads and if it’s anything like the other locations there should be beer and wine available.
2. PORTILLO’S Fishers Chicago is slowly sending its top chains to Indy and now we don’t have to jour-
NUVO.NET/FOOD+DRINK PORTILLO’S IS OPENING A FISHERS LOCATION //
ney to the Region to get a taste of that delicious Chicago beef — it’s coming to Fishers. Portillo’s will fit in perfectly in the burgeoning area, which will soon add an IKEA. Fishers has continually and rapidly grown its downtown area over the past few years. Portillo’s new location broke ground on the project on Friday, June 2, which means that Chicago-style hot dogs, Italian sausage and the best damn chocolate cake you’ll ever have will be here sooner than you can say, “I’ll have a combo with hot peppers, gravy on the side, a small fry and a large Coke.”
3. PROVISION Keystone The company behind Bru Burger and Vida opens this new concept in the Ironworks Hotel near Keystone at the Crossing. Provision will serve high-end lunch and dinner options that will take inspiration from two of Cunningham Group’s other restaurants, Vida and Union 50. The group’s other restaurants have been praised for their menus and cocktails and Provision should bring the same caliber to the Northside.
4. PUBLIC GREENS Keystone The Patachou team came to The Fashion Mall years ago with its pizza restaurant Napolese. Now the farm-to-table
restaurateurs will add a second option into the mall with the locally sourced, vegetable-forward concept. This will be Public Greens’ second location in the city and Patachou’s 12th restaurant in Indianapolis. The food is served cafeteria-style allowing guests to craft a personal — and often large — feast.
5. RIZE Keystone Rize and shine and eat organic. Another Cunningham restaurant coming to the Ironworks Hotel will focus on clean-living with a breakfast menu that runs from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. It will be a branch away from any of Cunningham’s other operations around the city with a focus on breakfast and lunch. Sounds like Ironworks Hotel will be the place to eat.
6. WOODEN BEAR BREWING Geist To wrap up our list, we’ve got a drinking hole you can head to right now. Wooden Bear started out in Greenfield, a town that was severely lacking in the craft beer offerings department, and this past month the company opened a second location near Geist. Wooden Bear offers pretty traditional offerings including a cream ale, a brown ale and a personal favorite, the dry Irish stout. Grab a beer and a slice of ‘za and enjoy the evening.

hen you’re talking to Gene Simmons, half the battle is getting him to stray from his talking points. I was two minutes into what was supposed to be a 10-minute interview, when the man started rattling off a litany of KISS-branded merchandise he’d licensed over the years (“We sell KISS condoms and KISS caskets,” he tells me, “so we can get you coming and going!” Ba-DING!) and I knew I had to get him on track. So I tell him I read one of his six books, and then ask him if he’s excited getting the chance to play lesser-known KISS songs with his solo band when he comes to Hoosier Park Racing & Casino this weekend. Now he’s excited, and wrapped around my finger. “You got it, see, you cut to the chase,” he laughs. “I was just being all flowery and all about me. But you’re exactly right. For the first time in 43 years of touring, some folks asked me if I’d like to jump up on stage and put together some crackerjack rockers and go through some nuggets that KISS will never play, or has never played. And I thought, ‘gee, that sounds like a lot of fun!’ Because there are always songs that I think are kind of neat and we will never get a chance to play, because our blessing is also our curse.” That curse is that, over the years the band has recorded more than two dozen studio albums, so there’s a ton of music to choose from. Simmons says the folks in Anderson embraced the idea of having him come in with his own band and just make the fans happy. And in turn, Simmons has embraced the challenge of finding new ways to surprise fans who already are in the palm of his hand whenever he makes an appearance. “We’re gonna bring our band,” he explains, “and instead of the regular concerts where the people just get up on stage and show you what they’re all about, we do it a little different. You’ve

got your cellphone, which has got video on it, so you want to come up on stage and video the audience and video us on stage? I’m gonna pull you up. You think you can sing? I’m gonna pull you up on stage. When I was a kid and I saw the Beatles and the Stones, I couldn’t imagine that opportunity. So I want to break down those barriers.” Simmons has long had ties with Indianapolis, having worked with Tony George back in the middle years of the last decade on re-branding the Indy Racing League and Indy 500 via his song “I Am Indy.” The man has a virtually encyclopedic knowledge of open-wheel racing, and once I got him going, he seemed as excited talking about that as about himself. “One of the first things I told the folks at Indy was, ‘first of all your name sounds like a communicable disease.’” he laughs. “[They’re like] ‘What do you mean?’ ‘IRL? I hope I don’t catch it!’” With George, Simmons had worked to re-brand IndyCar around the idea of Indy as “independent,” “individual.” He’d wanted to do more, including bringing in Hugh Hefner’s Playmates to shoot a “Girls of IndyCar” cover, but he says the family members who succeeded George balked at the idea. His love of the sport, however, shines through any artifice. “When you take a look at IndyCar compared to Nascar — are you kidding me?” he asks, and I can practically see the arm gestures. “You’ve got jet engines, and the wings in the front are face-down because IndyCars go so fast, they go faster in fact than jets taking off at airports. If those wings weren’t there at the front of the cars facing down, they’d take off! It’s really quite a phenomenon. And the masses don’t know any of this stuff. They just see cool-looking space-age cars and they wanna watch the race. But I think you’ve got to make it more interesting. “Like when I go to the Kentucky Derby, it’s not just about the horses! It’s about the beautiful women with the big hats and the spectacle, the glamor of it. And that’s what I wanted to do with IndyCar. It can’t just be about the cars, even though the cars are the coolest thing on earth.” N NUVO.NET // 06.07.17 - 06.14.17 // MUSIC // 19

NUVO VO AT KROGER OGER
ARIES (March 21-April 19): If you chose me as your relationship guide, I’d counsel you and your closest ally to be generous with each other; to look for the best in each other and praise each other’s beauty and strength. If you asked me to help foster your collaborative zeal, I’d encourage you to build a shrine in honor of your bond -- an altar that would invoke the blessings of deities, nature spirits, and the ancestors. If you hired me to advise you on how to keep the fires burning and the juices flowing between you two, I’d urge you to never compare your relationship to any other, but rather celebrate the fact that it’s unlike any other in the history of the planet. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The Milky Way Galaxy contains more than 100 billion stars. If they were shared equally, every person on Earth could have dominion over at least 14. I mention this because you’re in a phase when it makes sense for you to claim your 14. Yes, I’m being playful, but I’m also quite serious. According to my analysis of the upcoming weeks, you will benefit from envisaging big, imaginative dreams about the riches that could be available to you in the future. How much money do you want? How much love can you express? How thoroughly at home in the world could you feel? How many warm rains would you like to dance beneath? How much creativity do you need to keep reinventing your life? Be extravagant as you fantasize. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “When I grow up, I’m not sure what I want to be.” Have you ever heard that thought bouncing around your mind, Gemini? Or how about this one: “Since I can’t decide what I want to be, I’ll just be everything.” If you have been tempted to swear allegiance to either of those perspectives, I suggest it’s time to update your relationship with them. A certain amount of ambivalence about commitment and receptivity to myriad possibilities will always be appropriate for you. But if you hope to fully claim your birthright, if you long to ripen into your authentic self, you’ll have to become ever-more definitive and specific about what you want to be and do. CANCER (June 21-July 22): As a Cancerian myself, I’ve had days when I’ve stayed in bed from morning to nightfall, confessing my fears to my imaginary friends and eating an entire cheesecake. As an astrologer, I’ve noticed that these blue patches seem more likely to occur during the weeks before my birthday each year. If you go through a similar blip any time soon, here’s what I recommend: Don’t feel guilty about it. Don’t resist it. Instead, embrace it fully. If you feel lazy and depressed, get REALLY lazy and depressed. Literally hide under the covers with your headphones on and feel sorry for yourself for as many hours as it takes to exhaust the gloom and emerge renewed. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In the early days of the Internet, “sticky” was a term applied to websites that were good at drawing readers back again and again. To possess this quality, a content provider had to have a knack for offering text and images that web surfers felt an instinctive yearning to bond with. I’m reanimating this term so I can use it to describe you. Even if you don’t have a website, you now have a soulful adhesiveness that arouses people’s urge to merge. Be discerning how you use this stuff. You may be stickier than you realize! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Ancient Mayans used chili and magnolia and vanilla to prepare exotic chocolate drinks from cacao beans. The beverage was sacred and prestigious to them. It was a centerpiece of cultural identity and an accessory in religious rituals. In some locales, people were rewarded for producing delectable chocolate with just the right kind and amount of froth. I suspect, Virgo, that you will soon be asked to do the equivalent of demonstrating your personal power by whipping up the best possible chocolate froth. And according to my reading of the astrological omens, the chances are good you’ll succeed.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Do you have your visa for the wild side? Have you packed your bag of tricks? I hope you’ll bring gifts to dispense, just in case you’ll need to procure favors in the outlying areas where the rules are a bit loose. It might also be a good idea to take along a skeleton key and a snakebite kit. You won’t necessarily need them. But I suspect you’ll be offered magic cookies and secret shortcuts, and it would be a shame to have to turn them down simply because you’re unprepared for the unexpected. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’re like a prince or princess who has been turned into a frog by the spell of a fairy tale villain. This situation has gone on for a while. In the early going, you retained a vivid awareness that you had been transformed. But the memory of your origins has faded, and you’re no longer working so diligently to find a way to change back into your royal form. Frankly, I’m concerned. This horoscope is meant to remind you of your mission. Don’t give up! Don’t lose hope! And take extra good care of your frog-self, please. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): People might have ideas about you that are at odds with how you understand yourself. For example, someone might imagine that you have been talking trash about them — even though you haven’t been. Someone else may describe a memory they have about you, and you know it’s a distorted version of what actually happened. Don’t be surprised if you hear even more outlandish tales, too, like how you’re stalking Taylor Swift or conspiring with the One World Government to force all citizens to eat kale every day. I’m here to advise you to firmly reject all of these skewed projections. For the immediate future, it’s crucial to stand up for your right to define yourself — to be the final authority on what’s true about you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “God doesn’t play dice with the universe,” said Albert Einstein. In response, another Nobel Prize-winning physicist, Niels Bohr, said to Einstein, “Stop giving instructions to God.” I urge you to be more like Bohr than Einstein in the coming weeks, Capricorn. As much as possible, avoid giving instructions to anyone, including God, and resist the temptation to offer advice. In fact, I recommend that you abstain from passing judgment, demanding perfection, and trying to compel the world to adapt itself to your definitions. Instead, love and accept everything and everyone exactly as they are right now. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Lysistrata is a satire by ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes. It takes place during the war between Athens and Sparta. The heroine convinces a contingent of women to withhold sexual privileges from the soldiers until they stop fighting. “I will wear my most seductive dresses to inflame my husband’s ardor,” says one. “But I will never yield to his desires. I won’t raise my legs towards the ceiling. I will not take up the position of the Lioness on a Cheese Grater.” Regardless of your gender, Aquarius, your next assignment is twofold: 1. Don’t be like the women in the play. Give your favors with discerning generosity. 2. Experiment with colorful approaches to pleasure like the Lioness with a Cheese Grater, the Butterfly Riding the Lizard, the Fox Romancing the River, and any others you can dream up. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Take your seasick pills. The waves will sometimes be higher than your boat. Although I don’t think you’ll capsize, the ride may be wobbly. And unless you have waterproof clothes, it’s probably best to just get naked. You WILL get drenched. By the way, don’t even fantasize about heading back to shore prematurely. You have good reasons to be sailing through the rough waters. There’s a special “fish” out there that you need to catch. If you snag it, it will feed you for months — maybe longer.
HOMEWORK: Even if you don’t send it, write a letter to the person you admire most. Share it with me at Freewillastrology.com.
