PENCE LEAVES DIGNITY BEHIND AT COLTS GAME V

BY JOHN KRULL // VOICES@NUVO.NET

ice President Mike Pence’s expensive and unseemly departure from the Indianapolis Colts game demonstrates there is only one job for which he will be qualified when he leaves the White House.

Ventriloquist’s dummy.

Pence’s leave-taking was a shabby performance. It was a stunt, a prefabricated show of outrage that, if it were his idea, would reveal him as little more than a sideshow huckster.

But it wasn’t his idea.

Not satisfied with forcing his running mate to insult Hoosier hero Peyton Manning and the Colts in Pence’s home state – and burning significant tax dollars in the process – President Donald Trump couldn’t wait to tweet that the vice president had left because Trump told him to.

Embarrassment for Pence wasn’t enough. The Donald had to humiliate him, too.

This is sad and disappointing.

I’ve known Mike Pence for a long time.

There are many things about which we do not agree. But I’ve always liked and respected him.

I also have known him to have a capacity for political courage.

Years ago, when he was in Congress and I was the executive director of what is now the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana, he came to speak at an event the ACLU hosted.

The very fact that he was speaking at an ACLU event wouldn’t have endeared Pence to his base. Nor would what he said that day.

He told the crowd that he opposed the infamous “sneak and peak” provisions – the ones that allowed government officials to conduct searches without warrants – in the USA Patriot Act the George W. Bush administration rammed through Congress during the panicked days following Sept.

11, 2001.

There were no votes for Pence in that room. The likelihood the average ACLU member, put off by Pence’s stances on social issues, would vote for him was non-existent.

He said what he said because he believed it, because he knew the Patriot Act violated the Fourth Amendment.

That’s one reason I’ve always felt sympathy for the man. Though he does not seem given to introspection or self-analysis, his impulses – the libertarian jousting with the theocrat – often seem to be at war within him.

I know Pence is smart enough to realize how trivial and wrong-headed this Trump-driven squabble with African-American athletes is.

What the president is advocating is that people should lose their jobs over their political beliefs.

Before the Trump amen crowd screams its affirmation of that idea, they probably ought to consider that, once set, that precedent can cut both or several ways.

What if they do or say something that a future Democratic or even more traditionally Republican president does not like? Should that be grounds for them

INDIANAPOLIS TO SUE PHARMA COMPANIES OVER OPIOIDS City to join other states and cities to sue manufacturers directly

BY FRAN QUIGLEY // NEWS@NUVO.NET

I

n Dayton, Ohio, the opioid crisis achieved a grim milestone earlier this year: For the first time ever, the local coroner’s office ran out of space to hold the corpses of those who had overdosed.

Funeral parlors had to be recruited to take on temporary storage duties.

Indianapolis is not there yet. But the trend here is nearly as disturbing. Opioid addiction killed 345 people in Marion County last year. That was the highest number ever and four times more victims than all of the county’s traffic accidents put together.

Mayor Joe Hogsett announced last week that the city would be taking opioid manufacturers and distributors to court.

“Left unchecked, opioid addiction will continue to incite criminality, tear apart families, and take the lives of Indianapolis residents,” Hogsett said in a statement.

“As we work to combat this epidemic of addiction and connect affected community members with the treatment they need, those who have contributed to this crisis should be held accountable.”

The local crisis Hogsett refers to is part of a national problem. U.S. opioid overdose deaths (heroin plus prescription opioids) have quadrupled since 1999. By filing a lawsuit, the city of Indianapolis will follow the lead of dozens of states and cities that have already pointed the finger at the corporations that promoted and profited from the surge in pain medication prescriptions that preceded the addiction crisis. A Congressional investigation is also looking into the companies’ responsibility.

When Ohio Attorney General Mike

DeWine sued pharma corporations in insider ties to rewrite medical guidelines to May, he did not shy away from assigning justify the rash of prescriptions. blame. “These companies got thousands The result: In 2010 alone, physicians and thousands of Ohioans addicted to wrote 254 million prescriptions for opioids, opioid pain medications, which has all too and pharmaceutical corporations raked in often led to use of the cheaper alternatives $11 billion in opioid sales.

$634 million. Purdue is not alone: sales representatives from other companies have pled guilty to bribing doctors to prescribe painkillers, using lures that included speaking fees.

Yet the industry that has become one of the most profitable in modern history by exploiting the desperate needs of suffering people has been anything but chastened.

In response to the spike in demand for the medicine naloxone to respond to overdoses, manufacturers increased its price by as much as 500 percent.

The state of Indiana has not yet joined the opioid litigation push, although Attorney General Curtis Hill is one of 41 state attorneys general conducting an investigation of companies’ role in the epidemic.

Widespread lawsuits aiming to recover government costs and deter unethical corporate behavior invoke comparisons to the 1990s claims against tobacco companies. In 1998, those suits concluded with the companies and 46 states reaching the largest civil litigation settlement in U.S. history.

No doubt, Indianapolis taxpayers would be happy if the opioid litigation brings similar results. The city could use the financial boost to offset the increased public safety, health emergency and legal system costs caused by the epidemic. But it would be even better if the lawsuits succeed in reducing the burden on coroners’ offices — here and across the country. N

n late 1949, Andrew Warhola, fresh out of college, moved to New York. After dropping the a from his last name, Andy Warhol quickly landed a job at Glamour, won several awards for his commercial illustrations and would eventually become one of the most well-known icons of the 1960s art scene.

While multi-colored images of Marilyn Monroe and Mick Jagger may come to mind when one thinks of Warhol, an upcoming exhibit at the Long-Sharp Gallery in Indianapolis (running through Nov. 4) is looking to acquaint guests with the works of Andy Warhol in the 1950s, when he got his start.

With 27 original works of art hanging, many of which are up for acquisition, gallery owner Rhonda Long-Sharp hopes to share her appreciation for Warhol with Hoosiers.

“I decided to do this exhibit of Warhol’s early works because you don’t really get a chance to see a large body of his works from the '50s,” Long-Sharp said. “I love the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, and I encourage everyone to go see it, but it is rare indeed to see more than one or two pieces at a time from this era. So, to have 27 of them in one place gives you a real sense of what he was doing and who he was at the time... You get to see a side of him before he was famous. When he was struggling. What he drew when he took his first trip abroad.”

Out of the 27 pieces, 24 are ink drawings on paper. All have been authenticated by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, which opened after the artist’s death in 1987, per his final wishes.

Like many things, these works were kept

by Warhol from the time he created them to the time of his death.

“Anyone who has studied Warhol knows that he was a bit of a hoarder; he kept just about everything,” Long-Sharp said. “And I mean that in a very respectful, loving way, because I’m a giant fan of his.”

The drawings that are featured in this exhibit were created by Warhol in the 1950s and found in his home after his death. They were stamped by his estate, and authenticated and stamped again after the Foundation was opened, separating those pieces of original Warhol drawings from the artwork

that he collected throughout his lifetime.

Those familiar with Warhol’s pop art may be in for a surprise when they walk into the gallery.

“I don’t think they’ll be recognizable to people unfamiliar with his work in the 1950s,” Long-Sharp said.

“If you were alive and happened to be reading the newspaper and Glamour magazine in the 1950s, you would know it was Andy Warhol,” she continued. “The 1950s was Warhol’s most prolific time for writing books. 75 percent of the books he published were published in the 50s. A lot of these were done in editions of 100, and what we will be showing are some of the study drawings for those books.”

As for Long-Sharp, who has been collecting Warhol’s work for several years, there are three pieces in the exhibit that she finds especially intriguing.

“One is a pair of ink and tempera paintings on paper that are simply patterns,” Long-Sharp explained. “I’m intrigued by how he was studying patterns in the early and mid 50s, and later, he translates that interest in patterns to repetitive portraits of Marilyn Monroe in various colors.”

The second thing I find interesting is a particular piece that’s a study drawing from a book that was never published,” she continued. “He worked on a book called The House that Went to Town. If you happen to study Andy Warhol or go to museum exhibits on what he was doing in the 1950s, you’ll see a lot about The House That Went To Town, but you’ll never see anything from the book, because there was no book.

So, the only way to get to know about what he was doing and how funny and charming he was in that time is to see the study drawings, and we have one or two of those in the exhibit.”

Finally, Long-Sharp lists a portrait that she believes to be an early self-portrait by the young Warhol.

“If you look at it, and you look at photographs of him in that time, it looks like a self-portrait,” she explained. “He became very famous in his later years for his self-portraits, in fact, portraits of him now on various mediums sell for inordinate sums.” N Story continues online at NUVO.net

ast week I wrote about a passionate sounding Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, and this weekend’s concert was certainly along a similar vein. Conductor Jun Märkl returned to the ISO again, and it’s clear to see why he’s a favorite. This was a concert filled with joy and excitement, borne out of what is a solid partnership between conductor and orchestra.

Before witnessing this fruitful partnership, assistant concertmaster Peter Vickery stood to speak with the audience, dedicating this concert to those affected by the Las Vegas tragedy, and directed everyone in a moment of silence, which was appropriate and appreciated. Märkl then took to the stage, and off we were treated to a great musical adventure, beginning with Franz Liszt’s Les Preludes, the most well known of his twelve symphonic poems. Liszt mainly wrote for piano, so it’s unsurprising that much of this work sounds like a piano piece orchestrated.

The orchestra sounded lush, with a depth of sound that took me a aback in the most pleasing of ways. Another favorite, violinist Joshua Bell then joined the stage to finish off the first half with Max Bruch’s Scottish Fantasy, a work that is anything but easy for a violinist.

WHERE // Hilbert Circle Theater CHANTAL SAYS // e

Bell did what he does best, and created and shaped lines that soared with a tone that musicians work their entire lives to get. The orchestra was already on good footing with Märkl leading the charge, but the addition of Bell brought the music-making up a notch.

The concert finished with Robert Schumann’s Symphony no. 3, a.ka. “the Rhenish”. Schumann wasn’t exactly an ace orchestrator, so there was occasional muddiness; Schumann seems to think many crescendos and loud statements are best made with tremolos and everyone wailing away with sixteenth notes, and that having the cellos and double basses trilling in the lower register adds something significant to the music (it doesn’t).

There were again, sadly, intonation issues in the winds again, especially noticeable in the beginning of the fourth movement, where the brass weren’t blameless either. That aside though, there was fine music making to be heard this weekend at the ISO.

“T

ickling the ivories” is an expression to mean playing the piano, and sometimes I’d like to add to that expression, and particularly in the case of that Drew Petersen, winner of the 2017 American Pianists Award. This exceptional young musician, also the winner of several other competitions such as the Leeds International Piano Competition, and New York Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition among others, certainly “tickles” the ivories. But that phrase seems pithy when thinking about his vast ability for musical expression. The rather full-sized audience at the Ruth Lilly Performance Hall was treated to a recital of 20th and 21st century music, starting with Judith Laing Zaimont’s Attars, which was commissioned by the APA. A multi-movement work about floral essential oils, he conveyed each scent with a large palette of musical colors, so to speak; from lush rounded notes and phrasing, to more crisp, and angular ones. He followed up with Charles Ives’ “The Alcotts,” from his famous Concord Sonata, a work with layers and nooks and crannys, that was utterly delightful. His ability to go from intense and nearly thunderous to gentle and tranquil was astonishing and wholly satisfying. Petersen then jumped almost right in to Samuel Barber’s Piano Sonata in E

flat minor, going from a peaceful finish to slightly more chaos, and again with ease.

The second half began with Elliot Carter’s Piano Sonata, which at times had a relentless intensity. In the first movement, there was a time that intensity was brought to a breathtaking halt by Petersen — a singular note toward the end rendered everything, and everyone, completely still — before he then dove right back in, allowing us all to catch our breath. The evening finished out with Charles Tomlinson Griffes’ Fantasy Pieces, an impressionistic-like work.

Petersen’s feather-like touch was particularly poignant in the Notturno movement, and the finishing Scherzo was a fun adventurous ride that Petersen remained in firm control of. We were fortunate to hear two encores, both by Gershwin, with a sultry, romantic Earl Wild transcription of “The Man I Love” and his First Prelude.

Petersen will be the Artist-in-Residence at UIndy for the next two years, so if you weren’t fortunate enough to catch this recital, thankfully there will be others. N

#COLTSFORGED A winning season is a pipe dream without team’s leader

BY BRIAN WEISS // BWEISS@NUVO.NET

QUARTERBACK JACOBY BRISSETT CARRIES THE BALL DURING THE GAME AGAINST ARIZONA // PHOTO BY PHIL TAYLOR

F

our days before the 2017-2018 regular season began, the Indianapolis Colts released a new promotional video via Twitter. Eerily similar to an ad you’d see from Anheuser-Busch during the Super Bowl, its overall message was simple: “Respect is earned.”

The video birthed a new slogan that begat a new hashtag: #ColtsForged. While the marketing team undoubtedly wants you to believe it means the Colts are hammering out a new identity, the alternative definition of the word fits this year’s team more appropriately.

Let’s be honest: the Colts are a bad football team right now. They got trounced in the season opener against the Los Angeles Rams, blew a 10-point 4th quarter lead before losing in overtime to the Arizona Cardinals, and got outscored 36-3 in the 2nd half by the Seattle Seahawks. Their two victories have come against the Cleveland Browns and San Francisco 49ers, who have com-

bined a whopping zero victories through the first five weeks of the season.

While you might lay the blame on a onceagain porous defense, or at the feet of head coach Chuck Pagano, the fact of the matter is the Colts are taking the field each week without their best player out there.

Franchise quarterback Andrew Luck had surgery on his throwing shoulder in mid-January. The procedure was long overdue, as Luck had been nursing an injury since the first half of the 2015 season. Given that the normal recovery time for a surgery of this kind is six-to-nine months, the best-case scenario for the Colts was to have their star quarterback back in time for the Sept. 10 season opener. That game came and went. Luck was on the sideline in street clothes. Then week two came and went. Then week three.

And four. And five. Still no Andrew Luck.

On Oct. 4, Luck returned to practice nearly nine months after his shoulder surgery. “It was fun to be back on a field with team-

mates. Put a jersey on. And a helmet,” Luck said in a press conference following his first day of practice. With Luck just beginning to get back to daily activities, his expected return date is still several weeks out.

And without Luck, the Colts are a farce.

Take Sunday’s game against 49ers for example. The Colts held a 14-point lead with under 10 minutes to play in the 4th quarter. A good football team would have finished the game out no sweat. But the Colts collapsed.

A Brian Hoyer led 49ers offense drove the length of the field twice, scoring two touchdown to force overtime. A late field goal by Adam Vinatieri saved the Colts from another embarrassing defeat.

Back on Twitter, Bob Kravitz called this team “the weakest minded Colts team” he’s seen in a long time. It’s hard to argue against him. In the crunch, the Colts needed a leader. They needed their quarterback.

On Saturday, Peyton Manning — arguably the best Colts player of all-time — was hon-

ored with his own statue in front of Lucas Oil Stadium. On Sunday, his jersey number was retired, the first Colts player since the team moved to Indy to receive this honor.

During his 14 years in Indy, Manning earned a high level of respect from his teammates, coaches, fans and city.

While Luck has spent less than half that time in Indy, he has quickly earned the respect of those around him. He’s a calming voice in a sport that’s anything but. If the Colts are going to return to their winning ways, Luck must be on the field.

Which brings us back to the promotional video and its emphasis on earning respect.

“There may still be some folks who just don’t respect you. But you know what?

That’s okay. Because they’re about to.

They’re about to.”

On the field, the Colts have failed to earn an ounce of respect so far this season. The jury is still out on whether they’ll be able to at all. N

Kuntz created all the various 3D models for the statue. Poses were changed numerous times before a final one was decided on.

Once he got everyone’s approval, Kuntz used the CNC, a computerized cutting/sculpting machine, to come up with a rough form in high density foam to approximate what would eventually become a bronze sculpture.

Kuntz then assembled the pieces of foam on an internal armature to provide a baseline for the sculpture.

“Once he provided the foam piece, I then got to work reshaping it a little bit, forming it a bit more for what I wanted it to do,” says Feeney.

says Feeney. “He stuck around to [say], ‘I like that pose but what if we did something like this?’ Essentially, he called an audible on his own sculpture: an audible is changing the play at the line of scrimmage.”

(Manning, according to the Indianapolis Star, had requested that the statue depict a 25-year-old version of him, with his helmet on.)

the nose and the mouth in all clay.”

Essentially, says Feeney, Kuntz gave him a rough form. Feeney refined it in clay. “The foam came to me maybe weighing 50 pounds,” says Feeney. “I put essentially 250, 300 pounds of clay on it. And that’s where I sculpted all the wrinkles and the clothes and the towel.”

And everything has to be perfect, says Feeney: “The ripples on the jerseys, the numbers the exact right size ...

So that’s very important.

You have to remember who’s going to be looking at it.”

Then the clay-on-foam sculpture went to Sean Neal at Sincerus Bronze Art Center where they cut it into manageable pieces and cast molds — using the lost wax process.

“Rubber is poured over it,” says Feeney, describing the process. “And then once that rubber [dries] you can peel it off and then you have a negative … And you make that piece in wax, make a ceramic shell around the wax, put it in the oven burn out the wax, now you have the hollow shape inside … and just pour the bronze in.”

Feeney was looking for a certain rough-hewn quality in the finished sculpture: “I wanted texture on it. I didn’t

sculpture at this point.

“It’s like a 3D puzzle made out of 1,000 pounds of bronze pieces,” Feeney said, noting that the sculpture had to be assembled from its many component parts.

“Of this whole entire process, the foundry has the most time involved in this,” says Feeney, who knows a little about time management. He is, after all, a busy man. During the hours when he’s not on the job for the Indianapolis Fire Department, or spending time with his family, Feeney runs his own custom metal shop, Indy Art Forge, which he founded in 1999.

One day he could be using the jaws of life to rescue victims of a wreck on the highway, during a 24-hour-long shift. The next day he could be working on anything from gates to custom household items such as wine racks, to a wide variety of sculpture.

If you’re a patron of the Central Library, you may already have seen Feeney’s “Peace Dove,” a sculpture that was commissioned

by Marion County Sheriff John Layton as a memorial addressing the city’s problem of gun violence and completed in 2014. Layton allowed Feeney access to the County’s stockpile of confiscated and destroyed gun parts, which he used as media to create the likeness of a dove, with a nine-foot wingspan.

Unlike the Peyton Manning sculpture, “Peace Dove,” weighing in at 650 pounds and created from approximately 1,200 gun parts, leaves a lot to the imagination. You might wonder whether the bird is taking off or landing.

Feeney has also created a number of other public sculptures in Indianapolis. He created the bronze eagle that stands on top of the Indianapolis 9/11 memorial and the Fallen Deputy memorial that can be found in front of the Marion County Jail, and the bronze statue of a fireman for the Indy Firefighters Museum that stands at 6’2.”

Sculptor Ryan Feeney’s process reveals many steps ne thing Ryan Feeney wants to get across as much as anything else when talking to you about the Peyton Manning sculpture unveiled at Lucas Oil Stadium on Oct. 7: it took a lot of teamwork to make it.

“Peyton Manning didn’t win the Super Bowl. He had a team behind him… He had an offense and a defense. I’ve had a team of artists behind me to get this thing done,” says Feeney, who is a firefighter in addition to his work as sculptor/metalworker.

One of Feeney’s teammates on this project is Indy-based Martin Kuntz. Feeney had sought out the company that Kuntz works for, the Mooresville-based Creative Works, which had collaborated previously on several bronze projects.

Feeney, fond of football analogies, calls Kuntz his “offense.” And Kuntz’s big play: to incorporate digital tools in the conception of the Manning sculpture.

Kuntz used a digital sculpting program to realize a 3D digital image and show Feeney and the Colts that he could assist to insure that the pose and the proportions were perfect.

Creative Works got the bid and the subcontract.

But it would be a long journey towards realizing the bronze sculpture. There would be a series of critical steps. But first there would be a jet flight, to meet the subject of said sculpture, in August of 2016.

Creative Works, Feeney and some Colts staff flew out on Jim Irsay’s private jet to meet Peyton Manning at a hangar in a small private airport in Nashville.

Feeney, Kuntz, and Creative Works president Armando Lanuti took many photos over the course of 40 minutes as Manning took various poses. This would allow Kuntz to develop a 3D model of Peyton Manning in an action pose.

After all, Feeney’s clients weren’t a group of abstract art collectors or interior designers looking for decorative art: his clients were the Colts.

HERE COMES A REBUILD

MYLES TURNER // PHOTO BY PHIL TAYLOR

After a summer of bad news, Pacers need retooled roster to step up

BY JON R. LAFOLLETTE // SPORTS@NUVO.NET

A

nother NBA season is upon us, Pacers fans. Lace up your sneakers, put on your game face, work on your jump shot.

And abandon all hope.

This summer has been the most frenetic NBA offseason in my lifetime. Several Western Conference teams engaged in an arms race against the defending champion Golden State Warriors, concentrating elite talent in a likely vain effort to dethrone Kevin Durant and company. Flat-earth truther Kyrie Irving strong-armed his way from under LeBron James’ long shadow and Steph Curry newphone-who-dis’d Donald Trump.

Elsewhere Gordon Hayward took his Macklemore haircut to Boston to reunite with former Butler coach, Brad Stevens. The league reformed the draft lottery and the All-Star game, and rookie Lonzo Ball arrived in Lakerland in (what else?) inconspicuous fashion.

But while the rest of the league reveled in the chaos, Pacers fans were uninvited to the party. Like a divorced husband, Pacer diehards have compartmentalized their grief after a summer of almost nothing but bad news.

They moved into a one-room apartment on the other side of town (“Victor Oladipo can be an All-Star!”), tried a new seafood diet to diminish their robust dad bod (“At least we still have Lance!”) and have even tried going out more (“Myles Turner is the next Chris Bosh!”).

In the wake of trading Paul George for pennies on the dollar (no disrespect, Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis) Indiana has introduced new uniforms and opened a multi-million dollar practice facility. They’ve even redesigned the court and remodeled the Fieldhouse gift shop. I see these as superficial means of coping with grief — the basketball equivalent of signing up for Tinder.

Meanwhile, their ex-wife is living easy and carefree in Oklahoma City with her tennis instructor.

Again, abandon hope.

This year’s Pacers team will be lucky to snag 35 wins and could wind up with just their second Top 10 draft selection this millennium — long-suffering Pacers fans can only hope.

Nate McMillan is still the coach (Thanks, Larry), Al Jefferson remains on the roster (Thanks again, Larry), Darren Collison rejoins the team

as starting point guard almost five years after the Pacers figured out he wasn’t good enough to handle the job in the first place, and some dude who alleges to be a professional basketball player named Damien Wilkins could play 10 to 12 minutes a game to begin the season.

Despite diminished expectations, there’s still intrigue associated with a rebuild. Don’t attend or tune in to games in hopes of wins.

Those will certainly be in short supply.

Instead, lighten up and take things as they come. Watch not what is, but what could be.

What happens this year could set the tone for the rest of the Turner and Oladipo era.

For Turner, entering his third year and first season as a go-to offensive threat, he must be more creative with the ball. While much of his offense has come in spot-up situations, the 21-year-old will carry a larger load. That’s one reason why he spent the offseason adding a post-game to his repertoire — the better to take advantage of possible mismatches.

Turner will also have to be more opportunistic, especially from 3-point range. He averaged just 1.4 attempts from long range a season ago, converting a respectable 35 per-

cent. Indiana will be desperate for points and many possessions will be a chore. Unlike last year, Turner cannot hesitate when open looks come. His instinct should be as quick and effortless as his release. Having a big man who can punish opponents beyond the arc is a growing necessity in the space-and-pace happy NBA. Turner must be happy to oblige.

As for Oladipo, the former IU standout has had a productive yet enigmatic career.

After three seasons of putting up decent stats on bad Orlando Magic squads that never made the postseason, he hitched his wagon to Russell Westbrook’s MVP train in Oklahoma City a season ago, skewing his overall efficiency once more.

Here’s the thing about Oladipo. He’s fine. A fine defender with fine defensive stats — 9.7 defensive win shares for his career. He’s a fine offensive talent who can fill up the box score — career average of 16 points, four rebounds, four assists, one steal. Oladipo is good at many things but not great at any one thing, which is indicative of his -0.1 box plus-minus rating.

That has to change.

Like it or not, Oladipo is Indiana’s new go-to scorer. Look for his usage rate to hit a career high this season as he and Turner run pick-and-roll after pick-and-roll while the rest of the starters get the hell out of the way. For Oladipo, the easiest way to boost his efficiency and lend easy points to the Pacers is to attack the paint and get to the foul line.

Sounds simple, but not so fast. Oladipo has shot better than 60 percent at the rim just once in his career and attempts a paltry four foul shots per game. Such numbers are rather puny for someone who boasts so much speed and athleticism.

But that’s why they play the game and why this season could perhaps establish a tone for more seasons to come. Again, the Pacers won’t be good. But a trio of Eastern Conference teams look to be historically bad (I see you, Chicago, Atlanta and Orlando), while Brooklyn, the Knicks and Detroit are in the same boat of mediocrity as the Pacers.

Indiana likely ends up around 32 wins. That’s too many to secure a top draft choice, but just enough in a bad conference to stumble into the postseason.

Meet the new Pacers, same as the old Pacers. N Listen to Miller Time Podcast at nuvo.net

CLOSE ENOUGH Faces Places is a visual French feast

BY ED JOHNSON-OTT // EJOHNSONOTT@NUVO.NET

I

watched a screener for Faces Places the other day. When it was over I immediately watched it again. The second viewing was even better than the first. The film follows two artists as they travel through small towns in France, creating murals from photos they make of local folks. The murals are fascinating, the interviews with the subjects of the murals capture a wide range of emotions and the conversations between the two artists are captivating.

Sure, the title is clunky, sounding like it was cooked up by the same people that name high school dances. Sure, the movie is in French with subtitles, but we’re all big boys and girls and we know how to read.

WHAT // Faces Places (2017) SHOWING // Opens Friday at Keystone Landmark (PG) ED SAYS // e

Faces Places is a documentary, but it plays like a scripted production. Everybody talks like real people, including the two leads. How the filmmakers get their subjects to talk about intimate matters while facing the interviewers and the camera crew is beyond me.

The artists at the center of the film are 89-year old Agnes Varda and thirty-something Jean “JR” René. She is an acclaimed documentary and scripted filmmaker maker. He is a noted photographer (I don’t

know how widely he is noted, but I note him and I acclaimed him and I’m sure there are others.)

Agnes says “Chance has always been my best assistant,” but she works well with JR, though she has issues with his insistence on wearing his sunglasses all the time.

Despite his hipster look, he is good at organizing the photo shoots.

JR is tall and Agnes is short. They look great together and are very effective at photographing others and turning their giant photos into even bigger murals.

Their exchanges seem natural, though there’s a scene at the end of the film that tidies up their story so neatly that I questioned whether it was genuine or contrived by the filmmakers. Either way, it doesn’t hurt the movie.

So, why is an 89-old taking on such a taxing project? Agnes states that her eyes are going bad. Perhaps she’s simply trying to have more adventures while her eyes are still good. She appears to have made peace

with her mortality. During a conversation she states, “I look forward to death because that’ll be that.” I wonder if that statement conveys her actual feelings or if she’s just being quotable – whistling in the dark on film.

The film offers much to look at, including a clip showing a large group of sheep walking close to one another in a tight rotating circle.

If you know the reason sheep do that, please contact me and share the explanation.

You’ll also get to see the fantastic murals made from the giant photos, from fish swimming around a water tower to a huge portrait of a lady that was leery of the project and allowed the artists to take with great hesitation. Her reaction to the finished mural is wonderful.

The reactions to the murals is one of many delights in this charming film. I watched Faces Places twice because I wanted to be one of crew, out of the spotlight but close enough to see the faces of the people when the murals are unveiled. If I get some time, I may watch it again today. N

Classic and unique eats in Northern Michigan

BY CAVAN McGINSIE // CMCGINSIE@NUVO.NET

A ROAD TRIP TO THE UPPER PINKY OF MICHIGAN OFFERS UNIQUE DINING FROM A FISHING VILLAGE TO AN EARLY 1900S HOMESTEAD.

I

travel as often as possible.

Whether it be a quick 45-minute slide down 65 for a weekend in Columbus to a 4-to-5 day trek through the Northwest part of the country, I am on the road at least half of the available weekends every year.

And while Indianapolis is where I keep my heart and soul — my thrice locked chest — I can’t help but feed my sense of wander. So now, for the first part of a new series entitled “On the Road” (thanks, Jean-Louis), I headed to upper Michigan — not upper, upper Michigan, the U.P., but upper-ish Michigan — as part of a press trip curated by Pure Michigan, (yes, the peeps behind the commercials.)

And let’s just say if you don a foodie hat, there is an incredible amount of unique dining and imbibing experiences to enjoy along the way.

told me there is a common debate between gravy dippers and ketchup dippers, but if you choose ketchup over gravy in any debate you’re a monster.

hit-makers COIN. Then I made my way inside

A

lmost ten years ago, we ran an extensive profile on then-Indy resident Brandon Whyde. Wade Coggeshall wrote, “The Beech Grove-based singer/songwriter has been hired to open for Boston’s archetypal roots artist Eilen Jewell. He’s warming up a crowd that, other than his mom, sister and co-worker, doesn’t seem to know who he is. His only weapons are an acoustic guitar, mouth harp and singing voice lauded by seemingly everyone who has ever heard it.”

Oh, how times have changed. In the decade following, that then-rising star has relocated to Nashville, held a residence at Rockwood Music Hall in NYC, opened for a slew of country heavy-hitters, and dropped his third album Silver Apples of the Moon, recorded at Muscle Shoals.

But it always comes back to Indiana, doesn’t it? Whyde returned for a set at Fountain Square Music Fest — see sidebar for a bit more on that — and a headlining set at the Hi-Fi with a ton of locals who have played a role in his music-making life.

In between the two shows, Whyde made time to chat with us once again about his newest release and his Indiana home.

to catch some of Brandon Whyde’s set. Known for his whiskey-soaked voice, the Indy native’s soulful Americana sound is one that translates well to a live setting.

After checking out some of Real Estate’s set, I ducked inside Square Cat Vinyl to catch a shimmer of singer-songwriter magic from Indianapolis’ Caleb McCoach, before heading over to Pioneer for a superb set from Thunder Dreamer. The Evansville dream rock band made quite an impression on all who chose to see them over Dr. Dog. Much like Day One of FSMF, Day Two served as an excellent showcase of Indiana music.

This started out with Indianapolis jazz/hip-hop powerhouse Clint Breeze and the Groove, and was followed by praiseworthy sets from Dream Chief, Busman’s Holiday, Hoops, J. Elliot and S.M. Wolf. I caught a set from Indianapolis legend Vess Ruhtenberg (Zero Boys, The Pieces, United States Three), who currently has a Kickstarter campaign in the works to help fund his first-ever solo album. I stuck around Square Cat Vinyl to hear R&B artist Brandon Lott, before making my way out into the soon-to-be-rainy streets.

Due to rain, the indoor venues became packed, giving local acts a chance to shine in front of larger audiences. Bloomington’s Amy O ripped into her set, followed by Mike Adams At His Honest Weight with a set of lively pop tunes.

With the rain gone, Phantogram took the stage, treating fans to a dance party. The finale was at Hi-Fi, where Richard Edwards played selections from his debut solo album, Lemon

Cotton Candy Sunset. I ended with a late-night set from Ghost Gun Summer, which felt like one of the most “Indiana music” things I’ve ever done.

BRANDON WHYDE //

KATHERINE COPLEN: Could you lay out your relationship with each of the musicians who appeared at your show at the Hi-Fi? What do you admire about their music, and how do they fit into yours?

BRANDON WHYDE: James LeBlanc is a long-time friend of Jimmy Nutt. They both moved from Louisiana to Muscle Shoals around the same time, and started cutting

their teeth at FAME Studios, James as a writer and Jimmy as an engineer. By the way, Jimmy Nutt produced my album, and he plays bass for James.

I’ve known Landon Keller for years. We played a gig in Broad Ripple together and were fast friends ever since. When he brought Kara Cole into the fold, I instantly regarded her as a kindred spirit and confidante. I met Cory Williams at Warm Fest whenever that was; haven’t been able to get rid of him since. He’s a dear friend and one of the funniest guys I know.

Jennie Devoe. I had never met Jennie Devoe, but, of course, I knew of her and her music. Well, she ended up doing some work with my keyboardist, Mina Keohane, and stumbling upon my song “Self-Medicated.” Long story short, she loved my song and came to a gig to meet me and asked if she could record it. I was extremely flattered and honored. She’s yet to record it, but she has plans to do so. I can’t wait to hear it. She’s a legend.

Charlie Ballantine is just a guitarist around town whom I’ve admired ever since I heard him a year or two ago. He plays with the most delicate intentionality. He can, also, melt your face. Jesse Wade and Amanda Gardier are friends and cohorts of Mina’s. I’m excited to meet them. I wanted some horns for the show to replace the choir harmonies on a couple of tunes and Mina took care of it. She’s good at that. Taking care of things.

KATHERINE: Tell me about recording Silver Apples of the Moon — over what period

NUVO.NET/MUSIC

3826 N. Illinois 317-923-4707

UPCOMING SHOWS of time did these songs come together?

What’s the oldest song on the record?

Which one came together fastest?

BRANDON: A lot of these songs started evolving over about a two-year period. Then, a couple months before the first day of recording I finished two or three to round out the album. I think “Ain’t I a Man” existed first and determined the direction of the project initially. That song informed me I wanted to make an album with some country leanings. The song that came together the quickest in the studio, hands down, was “Come to Jesus.” That track is all one take and live. We had Spooner Oldham in the room with us and everybody was feeling like they needed to be “on.” Spooner Oldham wields a big stick. He’s played on monster tracks for monster artists. You’ve heard him your whole life and may not have known it.

KATHERINE: Muscle Shoals is such a historically important place to record. What was

your experience like working in that area?

Anything unexpected?

BRANDON: A lot of soulful music came out of The Shoals. You can’t understand why when you first arrive. Nothing particularly outstanding grabs your attention immediately. Then, you start speaking with the people inhabiting the area. Things start to make sense. The people from that area are special. They are thoughtful, intelligent, progressive and music-loving. A strong sense of community exists there, and I was welcomed into it immediately. That place feels like a home.

KATHERINE: What’s the significance of the album title? Does it take inspiration from the classic synth album by Morton Subotnick?

BRANDON: No, it doesn’t, but I did look it up to see if it had been used before and discovered that album. I actually gleaned it from a W.B. Yeats poem, which, Subotnick, surely did, as well. The poem is

“The Song of Wandering Aengus.” I am interested in a particular esoteric system of knowledge based on the deck of cards that gives an interesting meaning to the moon, as well. The symbology of silver and its implications of two or second place intrigued me as well. I don’t want to assemble all the pieces of the puzzle as to why I chose that particular album title, but suffice it to say it is multi-layered.

KATHERINE: How does returning to Indy for a set of shows feel? What does playing at home remind you of?

BRANDON: I love Indianapolis. It still mostly feels like home. At least, when I know I get to leave it. I don’t dislike anything about Indy. I am just very restless when it comes to being in any one particular city too long. Being home now during the fall is beautiful. Reminds me of going back to school or eating dinner while watching reruns of Seinfeld on cable television. N

THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE SWEETHEARTS Boundary-bashing big band has Indiana roots

BY KYLE LONG // KLONG@NUVO.NET

Whenever I reach a point where I feel confident about my grasp on our state’s music history, I’ll stumble across a huge new bit of information that proves me wrong.

Cue earlier this year when I discovered the leader of a historically important band I’ve been enthralled with for years was raised here in Central Indiana.

Anna Mae Winburn rose to prominence during the 1940s as bandleader and vocalist for the International Sweethearts of Rhythm, a racially integrated all-woman jazz band that shattered stereotypes during the big band era.

Winburn was born Anna Mae Darden in Port Royal, Tennessee circa 1914. But the family headed north shortly after her birth, and Anna Mae spent her childhood and adolescence in Kokomo.

Anna Mae took to singing partly out of necessity; by age 15, her mother had died and she dropped out of school to marry a young man named Charles Winburn. Lacking any marketable job skills, the young Winburn decided to channel her natural gift for music and entered a talent show at Kokomo’s Isis Theatre. She lost to future superstars the Hoosier Hotshots, but her efforts were not in vain. Winburn landed a job singing at Fort Wayne, Indiana’s powerhouse radio station WOWO. Before long, Winburn was scoring gigs in Indianapolis. Winburn began performing at Indy’s Chateau Lido, but racial attitudes of the era forced her to have to pass as Hispanic at the segregated club, so she began to perform under the name Anita Door.

Winburn soon hit the road fronting a variety of territory bands throughout the Midwest, including Lloyd Hunter’s Serenaders.

The arrival of World War II hit the swing scene hard, as the ranks of many big bands were depleted during the military draft. But this abrupt exodus of men proved to be a window of opportunity for many women jazz musicians. As new opportunities opened up, Winburn headed for Oklahoma City where she signed on as leader of Eddie Durham’s All-Girl Band. The notoriety she gained with Durham’s group led to an offer to lead the International Sweethearts of Rhythm.

The Sweethearts were originally conceived to raise funds for the school, which provided services for poverty-stricken Black and racially mixed children. Eventually the band split from the school and became a popular touring attraction.

Winburn’s tenure with the band saw the Sweethearts grow from a regional novelty, to a heavyweight national 18-piece big band orchestra. At the height of their powers the

Sweethearts featured a crew of amazing talent, including the brilliant tenor player Vi Burnside, hard-hitting drummer Pauline Braddy, and the group’s secret weapon: trumpet player/vocalist “Tiny” Davis. Billed as the “queen of the trumpet”, Davis was often compared to Louis Armstrong for her charismatic personality and fierce chops.

The Sweethearts became a top attraction on the Black music circuit, headlining shows at New York’s Apollo and D.C.’s Howard Theater, performing behind jazz icon Ella Fitzgerald, and making fans out of jazz luminaries like Count Basie and Louis Armstrong. In fact, Armstrong even tried to recruit “Tiny” Davis for his band, reportedly offering Davis five times the salary she was making with the Sweethearts.

In addition to smashing stereotypes about women in music, the Sweethearts also challenged Jim Crow era segregation

laws and their tours through the South were often filled with peril.

The Sweethearts proudly advertised themselves as an integrated orchestra “in whose veins flow the blood of many races.”

Vintage posters listed the various ethnic identities of the group’s members, which included Indigenous American, Mexican, Hawaiian, Chinese and Black.

But it was the inclusion of white players that brought the women into conflict with law enforcement. During tours in the South the group’s white players were encouraged to apply dark make-up and lie about their racial identity. Often that wasn’t enough to keep the peace, and the band’s story is filled with moments were white musicians had to physically hide from the prying eyes of Jim Crow.

The Sweethearts remained a popular attraction until the late 1940s, when big band music began to decline. In the early 1950s the Sweethearts finally threw in the towel.

Winburn retired from music altogether and died in 1999. While the group’s legacy had largely faded from history she remained proud of her revolutionary jazz band’s accomplishments.

“The International Sweethearts of Rhythm were way ahead of their time, and they did a lot to break down racial and sexual prejudice in this country,” Winburn stated in the October 22, 1983 edition of the Louisville Times’ Scene magazine.

The Sweethearts were a popular attraction in Indianapolis, making several appearances at the Ferguson brothers’ famous Indiana Avenue nightspot Sunset Terrace. N

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In his book The Logic of Failure, Dietrich Dorner discusses the visionaries who built the Aswan Dam in Egypt. Their efforts brought an abundance of cheap electricity to millions of people. But the planners didn’t take into account some of the important effects of their innovation. For example, the Nile River below the dam no longer flooded its banks or fertilized the surrounding land every year. As a result, farmers had to resort to chemical fertilizers at great expense. Water pollution increased. Marine life suffered because of the river’s diminished nutrients. I hope this thought will motivate you to carefully think through the possible consequences of decisions you’re contemplating. I guarantee that you can avoid the logic of failure and instead implement the logic of success. But to do so, you’ll have to temporarily resist the momentum that has been carrying you along. You’ll have to override the impatient longing for resolution.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Are you primed to seek out new colleagues and strengthen your existing alliances? Are you curious about what it would take to infuse your best partnerships with maximum emotional intelligence? From an astrological perspective, the next nine weeks will be a favorable time to do these things. You will have opportunities to deepen your engagement with collaborators who cultivate integrity and communicate effectively. It’s possible you may feel shy about pursuing at least one of the potential new connections. But I urge you to press ahead anyway. Though you may be less ripe than they are, their influence will have a catalytic effect on you, sparking you to develop at an accelerated rate.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “I was satisfied with haiku until I met you,” Dean Young tells a new lover in his poem “Changing Genres.” But Young goes on to say that he’s no longer content with that terse genre. “Now I want a Russian novel,” he proclaims, “a 50-page description of you sleeping, another 75 of what you think staring out a window.” He yearns for a story line about “a fallen nest, speckled eggs somehow uncrushed, the sled outracing the wolves on the steppes, the huge glittering ball where all that matters is a kiss at the end of a dark hall.” I bring Young’s meditations to your attention, Gemini, because I suspect that you, too, are primed to move into a more expansive genre with a more sumptuous plot.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Statistical evidence suggests that Fridays falling on the 13th of the month are safer than other Fridays. The numbers of fires and traffic accidents are lower then, for example.

I find this interesting in light of your current situation.

According to my analysis, this October’s Friday the 13th marks a turning point in your ongoing efforts to cultivate stability and security. On this day, as well as the seven days before and seven days after, you should receive especially helpful clues about the future work you can do to feel even safer and more protected than you already do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Too much propaganda and not enough real information are circulating through your personal sphere. You’re tempted to traffic in stories that are rooted more in fear than insight. Gossip and hype and delusion are crowding out useful facts. No wonder it’s a challenge for you to sort out the truths from the half-truths! But I predict that you will thrive anyway. You’ll discover helpful clues lodged in the barrage of bunkum. You’ll pluck pithy revelations from amidst the distracting ramblings. Somehow you will manage to be both extra sensitive and super-discriminating.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A journalist named Jenkin Lloyd Jones coined the term “Afghanistanism,” which he defined as “concentrating on problems in distant parts of the world while ignoring controversial local issues.” I want to urge you Virgos to avoid engaging in a personal version of Afghanistanism. In other words, focus on issues that are close at hand, even if they seem sticky or prickly.

Don’t you dare let your attention get consumed by the dreamy distractions of faraway places and times.

For the foreseeable future, the best use of your energy is HERE and NOW. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “I am more interested in human beings than in writing,” said author Anais Nin, “more interested in lovemaking than in writing, more interested in living than in writing. More interested in becoming a work of art than in creating one.” I invite you to adopt that perspective as your own for the next twelve months, Libra. During this upcoming chapter of your story, you can generate long-lasting upgrades if you regard your life as a gorgeous masterpiece worthy of your highest craftsmanship.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio actress Tara Reid told the magazine Us Weekly about how her cosmetic surgeries had made her look worse than she had been in her natural state. “I’ll never be perfect again,” she mourned. I bring this up in the hope that it will inspire you. In my astrological opinion, you’re at a tuning point when it’s crucial to appreciate and foster everything about yourself that’s natural and innate and soulfully authentic. Don’t fall sway to artificial notions about how you could be more perfect than you already are.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I didn’t go to work today. I woke up late, lingered over a leisurely breakfast, and enjoyed a long walk in the autumn woods. When I found a spot that filled me with a wild sense of peace, I asked my gut wisdom what I should advise you Sagittarians to attend to.

And my gut wisdom told me that you should temporarily escape at least one of your duties for at least three days. (Escaping two duties for four days would be even better.) My gut wisdom also suggested that you get extra sleep, enjoy leisurely meals, and go on long walks to spots that fill you with a wild sense of peace. There you should consult your gut wisdom about your top dilemmas.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A snail climbed to the top of a big turtle’s shell as it was sleeping under a bush. When the turtle awoke and began to lumber away in search of food, the snail was at first alarmed but eventually thrilled by how fast they were going and how far they were able to travel. “Wheeee!”, the snail thought to itself. I suspect, Capricorn, that this little tale is a useful metaphor for what you can look forward to in the coming weeks.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “If these years have taught me anything, it is this,” wrote novelist Junot Díaz. “You can never run away. Not ever. The only way out is in.” That’s your plucky wisdom for the coming weeks, Aquarius. You have arrived at a pivotal phase in your life cycle when you can’t achieve liberation by fleeing, avoiding, or ignoring. To commune with the only kind of freedom that matters, you must head directly into the heart of the commotion. You’ve got to feel all the feelings stirred up by the truths that rile you up.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): J. Allan Hobson is a scientist of sleep who does research at Harvard. He says we dream all the time, not just at night. Our subconscious minds never stop churning out streams of images. During the waking hours, though, our conscious minds operate at such intensity that the lower-level flow mostly stays subliminal. At least that’s the normal state of affairs.

But I suspect your dream-generator is running so hot right now that its stories may leak into your waking awareness. This could be disconcerting.

Without the tips I’m giving you here, you might worry you were going daft. Now that you know, I hope you’ll tap into the undercurrent to glean some useful intuitions. A word to the wise: The information that pops up won’t be logical or rational. It will be lyrical and symbolic, like dreams.

HOMEWORK: How could you change yourself in order to get more of the love you want?
