“You act the part,” he said, “until you become the part.”

That’s what happened to our political discussions. We have spent so many years acting as if we were mean-spirited, ideologically intolerant thugs that we now, as a nation, have become meanspirited, ideologically intolerant thugs.

The first presidential campaign that I ever covered closely in any way was the 1988 race that pitted Republican George H.W. Bush, then the vice president, against Democrat Michael Dukakis, Massachusetts’ governor. At the time, it was considered a nasty, even vicious campaign.

corruption to a rotting fish, which, he said, stinks from the head down.

Nearly 30 years later, this seems tame, almost quaint.

Back then, though, it was considered rough stuff.

The debate focused not on policy disagreements — though they were significant — but on assaults on the other candidate’s character.

The reasoning was that the quickest, easiest path to victory was destroying the other candidate’s reputation and thus making it impossible for him to win.

Bush won. Dukakis lost — and had hard feelings.

Some years later, I talked with Dukakis about that campaign. He said it had been a turning point in American political life.

Democrats, he said, “went to school after that race” — and vowed never again to bring a knife to a gun fight.

His response was interesting for two reasons.

The first is that he let himself and other Democrats off the hook for their own hard shots during that campaign.

The second is that he demonstrated how easy it was to arrive at rationalizations for escalating personal attacks disguised as political appeals.

The funny thing is that, despite that campaign’s surface animosity, both Bush and Dukakis were play-acting. Bush quietly assured foreign leaders that his attack ads about his Democratic opponent were overblown — that, were Dukakis to win, other countries could work well with him. And Dukakis told me during an interview during the campaign that Bush was a reasonable and honest man.

In other words, they were acting out roles.

Somewhere along the way, it stopped being an act.

Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump genuinely do despise each other? Can anyone imagine either one of them quietly assuring foreign leaders that disaster won’t follow if the other is elected?

More important, can anyone deny that their followers — the millions of Americans who made these two our choices for leader of the free world — have little but contempt for those on the other side?

Clinton’s supporters decried the Trump followers’ chants of “lock her up” at The Donald’s rallies and the Republican’s threat to jail her should he be elected.

But now Clinton’s supporters have started shouting “lock him up” when Trump’s name is mentioned at her rallies.

Again, we see the speed with which we can rationalize racing toward the gutter.

It’s tempting to lay the blame for this ugliness at Clinton’s and Trump’s feet.

Tempting, but not true.

This is on us.

Living in a self-governing society means we cannot evade responsibility for what our country has become — or for who we are.

The brutal truth is Clinton and Trump were our candidates because we chose them. And they used the campaign tactics of speaking to and stoking up our worst impulses because we Americans have demonstrated, again and again, that we not only tolerate such tactics, we reward the candidates who use them.

We live now in a country in which neighbors and fellow citizens too often see each other not as people who have different points of view, but as the enemy. We snarl rather than speak.

We have acted like angry, mistrustful zealots for so long that we have become the part. n

November is Diabetes Awareness Month November is National Diabetes Awareness Month, and health professionals are trying to get the message out about diabetic foot ulcers, a serious complication that often accompanies the disease.

Vascular surgeon Dr. Gary Gibbons said DFVs are the result of a number of factors. One factor is diabetic neuropathy: when nerves are affected by sugar causing a loss of sensation in the foot. Many diabetics also have circulation problems. It can also take much longer for wounds to heal in those with diabetes.

Gibbons said 29 million Americans have been diagnosed with diabetes, and another 8 million are diabetic but don’t know it.

Anyone with diabetes can develop an ulcer, Gibbons said, but some are more at risk than others. Native Americans, African Americans, Hispanics and older men are more likely to develop DFUs, along with those who use insulin or have diabetes-related kidney, eye or heart disease.

Gibbons said that those who have been diagnosed with diabetes need to be vigilant, because ulcers can lead to amputations and even death.

“But it’s really looking at your feet and taking care of your feet and realizing that foot complications are a common occurrence,” said Gibbons.

The GrOwING GREEN project is an effort to “mobilize” urban farming.

Study Says Cities Should Invest in Trees A new report that looks at the impact that trees have on people’s health finds there needs to be more trees. The Planting Healthy Air study from The Nature Conservancy looked at the potential impact of planting trees in specific cities to lower heat and pollution, and how that could affect health, especially in regards to asthma.

GROWING ON THE GO

College programs address urban farming with mobile greenhouse

M

B Y LO R I LO VE L Y EDITORS@NUVO . N ET

any farmers like the connection to the land that comes with growing plants, but Butler University’s Center for Urban Ecology Farm’s new cropland is on wheels. The GrOwING GREEN project, designed and constructed by a group of fourth-year architecture students at Ball State University, is the first fully automated mobile greenhouse.

Representing a collaboration of Butler and Ball State, the greenhouse is the fifth design-build project by students at the College of Architecture and Planning in support of urban farming in Indianapolis, says Tim Gray, associate professor of Architecture at Ball State, whose students previously designed and built the CUE Farm’s mobile classroom, made from a shipping container.

Funded by a Butler University Innovation Fund Grant, the $50,000 greenhouse prototype was created because of a building code issue. “The farm is in a

floodplain, so we couldn’t build a permanent structure,” Gray explains. Realizing that many urban farms face land access challenges that could be appeased by a mobile growing platform, the college embraced the idea as an educational opportunity and a model for others.

“Urban farming is growing at a phenomenal rate,” Gray observes. “It’s becoming mainstream. Even Mayor Ballard supports it and encourages it on abandoned and vacant properties. But there’s not a lot of architecture typology.”

SPECS Gray and his team, which includes 14 Ball State students, Travis Ryan, chair of Butler’s Biology Department, which oversees the farm, and Tim Dorsey, farm manager, have now established a typology.

Over the course of two semesters, they designed a controlled environment to cultivate plant starts for the CUE farm.

The plan began with a 32-foot flatbed trailer from I-69 Trailers that was custom-fabricated to their specifications.

According to the CDC, diabetes is the seventh-leading cause of death in the United States, killing nearly 80,000 people every year.

“It was hand-cut, welded and built by students in Muncie,” Gray recalls, noting that the electrical and irrigation systems were professionally installed.

The powder-coated steel tube frame is wrapped with a 2x2 fiberglass furring system. The skin is double-wall polycarbonate panel. Windows are operational, connected to heat-sensitive sensors that require zero energy.

The unit does feature heating and air conditioning. Fans operate on a thermostat. The greenhouse “plugs into an exterior port like an RV would,” Gray details, expressing measured concern about the power cost. “Butler provides the power, and because it’s an educational project, it’s not our primary concern.

The requirement of growing year-round trumps efficiency.”

Besides, he adds, it’s a trade-off: Passive ventilation should allow them to run without air conditioning or heat most of the year. However, Gray acknowledges that heating the greenhouse will be a challenge in the dead of winter.

The group’s lead scientist, Rob McDonald, says trees provide shade and release water vapor into the air as they photosynthesize. Leaves remove particulate matter from the air around the trees, including toxins from auto exhaust and factory and power plant emissions.

“Trees can reduce air temperatures nearby by two to four degrees Fahrenheit, and they’re already doing that for tens of millions of people worldwide,” he states. “They can remove up to a quarter of the particulate matter concentrations in the atmosphere, one of the most damaging kinds of air pollution. “ McDonald says heat waves are responsible for 12,000 deaths each year, killing more people globally than hurricanes or winter storms. Additionally, 3.2 million deaths annually can be attributed to fine particulate matter, a component of smog. The report says by 2050 this type of pollution could kill 6.2 million people every year.

McDonald says elderly people face particular risk as the global climate shifts and average summers temperatures increase.

The study found if cities around the world invested $4 in tree planting for every resident, tens of millions of lives could be saved.

Dorsey points out that winter temperatures will impact the greenhouse more significantly because it’s elevated, allowing cold air to circulate underneath the structure. However, they situated it to maximize the angle of the February sun in order to take advantage of as much passive solar heat as possible.

Ultimately, though, he says the plan is to extend the growing season but not use the greenhouse all winter.

EXTENDED PLANTING SEASON The intent is to start seeds in early spring and in June. “That was our primary need,” Dorsey says. “That drove the project. We used to use grow lights before or pay other farmers to grow starts for us.

Now we’ll be able to manage that here.”

The CUE farm is about one acre in size. Dorsey hopes to plant in succession for continued harvesting. The ability to control the timing of starts and transplants will aid in reaching that goal.

Inside the greenhouse, the growing space is 8 x 32 feet, with bays of adjustable shelves for better use of the growing space. The design focused on placement on the farm where it will get the best sunlight and shelving to house the optimum number of plants.

Adding further flexibility is the four-zone misting and irrigation system that is customizable to different times of the year and different plant needs.

The interior structure is built of galvanized metal over recycled Trex composite wood decking. Siding and benches are constructed of cedar. “Because the

farm uses no pesticides and no chemicals, we minimized the use of wood and chose cedar because it is decay-resistant,” Gray explains.

GOALS AND APPLICATIONS What Gray describes as “our most ambitious student-built project” won a 2016 American Institute of Architects Indiana Design Award based on architectural excellence. The innovative and functional greenhouse on wheels, constructed with high-level craftsmanship, set the bar for future mobile designs. But now, it is “just” part of the farm, Gray indicates.

As such, it will play a role in academic internships, tours and classes on sustainable agriculture. Serving as a prototype for urban farming operations, it will inspire conversations, innovations and new projects in underutilized and abandoned urban areas, as well as locations compromised by restrictive building codes and problematic topography.

“A lot of urban farming happens in marginal areas that are challenged in different ways, like floodplains,” Ryan observes. “The idea of making something that’s mobile that might be able to exist and support facilities in these areas is interesting.”

Gray points out that with urban renewal, the city landscape can shift.

Therefore, a mobile greenhouse offers a limitless future not subject to the changing face of urban planning. “It works on marginal properties subject to the whims of development.”

He reports that other communities have already expressed interest in the design, including cities as far away as

Liverpool, England. “Bringing the farm to the community alleviates the problem of food deserts in the inner city.”

Gray towed the completed unit to the Butler campus with his F150 truck, proving the technical possibility of a truly mobile greenhouse. However, while admitting that the initial conception of literally taking the farm to the community by driving it to various locations became unfeasible, he still believes the GrOwING GREEN project is useful. “It’s a great tool for outreach, to support urban farming, promote education and generate community engagement.”

Someday, it also might be a moneymaker for the college. “It could grow into

other uses,” Dorsey imagines. “We could grow extra transplants for sale … flowers and other things for sale maybe later, greens to finish to sell to local restaurants. That would be a revenue source.”

He also expects this unique mobile growing contraption to drive more traffic to the farm, which will also increase revenue. “As a university-based project, it has a dual-track mission. We do our best to sell, but the educational opportunity is important. We don’t need to operate as a commercial enterprise.” But proving that they could be economically viable might secure the future for mobile greenhouses. n

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? B Y A M B ER S T E A R NS ASTEARNS@NU VO . N ET

When the polls closed in most of Indiana at 6 p.m., it took major media outlets no time at all to call the traditionally read state for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

That came as no surprise.

After all, Indiana has traditionally fallen in line with the GOP presidential hopeful for the last 50 years, with the only exceptions being Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964 and Barack Obama in 2008.

Republican Hoosiers are still scratching their heads over how the African American senator from Illinois was able to turn a traditionally red state blue, especially when the governor’s office was soundly secured by a GOP incumbent along with all statewide races and the majority of Indiana’s nine congressional seats.

2016 has become an even stranger head scratcher.

We are waking up to President-Elect Donald J. Trump.

It’s not so much a head scratcher in terms of Indiana and the rest of the country voting Republican. The conundrum originates from 2015 when a narcissistic billionaire entered politics for the first time in his life and decided he wanted to win the nation’s highest elected office.

The media — from mainstream corporate interests to amateur bloggers — followed Trump with interest wondering how in the world a political outsider could ever possibly think he could be the leader of the free world.

Media of all sorts became fascinated with the Orange One’s outrageous rhetoric. His claims of securing the country’s southern border with Mexico by building a wall, that Mexico would subsequently pay for, was mocked and ridiculed by pundits and primary opponents. When it came time for primary debates, caucuses and elections, the crazy rhetoric increased — kicking all Muslims out of the country, bringing law and order back

to law enforcement (code of Blue Lives Matter more?) and punishing women who choose to have an abortion.

The press, in its disbelief that such a man could ascend to the presidency, covered it all.

But the media’s disbelief that Trump could actually win followed him to Indiana’s primary, one of the last primary elections in the country. It was in the Hoosier state that Trump bested Senator Cruz, clearing the field for the title of presumptive nominee. It didn’t even seem real when Trump gave his nomination acceptance speech on the last night of the Republican National Convention. His attention turned to former Secretary of State Clinton and the big prize to be won in November.

Trump always believed himself to be able to win.

Period.

Indiana gave Trump the primary win he needed to seal the deal. In return, he took embattled governor Mike Pence as his running mate. The move was a welcome site for many different people on many different fronts. For those disillusioned with the governor, Trump made “Pence Must Go” a reality in the literal sense. For those impressed with the businessman’s “tell-it-like-it-is” abrasive nature, Pence offered the perfect balance with his calm, serene, establishment-approved demeanor. And for Pence, Trump offered him the unexpected path to Washington’s executive branch he was looking for.

The stars aligned in Indiana when no one and everyone were looking.

The path to election night was an ugly one. Mistakes made on the campaign trail were laser-targeted by the press as the thought “this could really happen?!” began to sink in and take hold. Both sides

canvassed like never before.

Accusations of unpaid taxes, a history of racial discrimination in housing practices and even the revelation of sexual predatory practices towards women were not enough to cut the billionaire down.

Each attack was worn as a badge of honor.

And the taint of Trump’s image became the armor he would wear all the way to Election Day. It was a day that saw what will probably be hailed as record turnout to the polls. Lines formed all over the city, the state and the country. It was a long day for voters who spent timein line to cast their ballot. It was an even longer night for poll workers who did their best to keep lines moving and give everyone who appeared the chance to make their voices heard.

It was also a long night.

As battleground states counted their ballots and precincts reported their totals, the needle indicating who would take the state swayed back and forth between Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump. As the night progressed and Trump overtook more states by narrow margins that were assumed weeks in advance as all but guaranteed for Clinton. By 2 a.m. Trump led the electoral vote count on CNN 247 to Clinton’s 215. A president-elect needs 270 for a decisive win.

But by 2:45 a.m., it was announced that Clinton had called Trump to concede the election. Trump had only 268 electoral votes to his name with at least 4 states still undecided.

By 3:00 a.m. the remaining states were called for Trump pushing him over the 270- vote threshold to 288 electoral votes.

Come January 20, 2017 it will be a new day —and for some a dark day — in the United States of America when Donald Trump takes the oath of office.

HOLCOMB SPEEDS IN It was a good day to be a Republican

BY MICH A EL RH E INH E IME R NEWS@N U VO . N ET

While the night started with cautious optimism for the Indiana G.O.P., a sense of joyousness quickly overcame the crowd in the White River Ballroom at the J.W. Marriott. It was a good night to be a Republican.

Just after seven o’clock, Fox News, broadcast on the massive screens at the front of the room, reported Trump captured the state of Indiana. He won the state’s 11 electoral votes by a resounding 58 percent of the vote, with Clinton receiving only 38 percent.

Paula Mahoney, a small business owner from Fishers, was in the crowd and one of the loudest cheering at the announcement of Trump’s early lead. “[A Trump victory] means I can breathe for the first time in eight years,” she said. “It means we can get back the freedom we’ve lost over the past eight years.”

Mahoney said that she sees Trump as being very successful, and that his success as a businessman will feed into his policies as president. Specifically, she said Trump would strengthen the Mexican border against ISIS infiltrators and illegal immigrants.

She predicted a Trump victory early on, saying Trump has mobilized the

silent majority he often spoke of during the campaign.

Eric Holcomb defeated Democrat John Gregg by 136 thousand votes – 12 percent of the electorate.

Lieutenant-Governor-elect Suzanne Crouch took the stage first, and voiced the phrase on everyone’s minds: “I am proud to be a Republican.”

In Holcomb’s victory speech, he spoke about building on the progress made by Mitch Daniels and continued by Mike Pence.

“Well, race fans, we just passed the checkered flag,” Holcomb said. His intro was met by thunderous cheers and applause.

“We are not competing any more – we have won,” he said. “Let me start by saying I did just speak with former speaker John Gregg … I thanked him for his spirited campaign, thanked him for engaging in civil debates, and for putting himself forward for public service.

We may not agree with every single one of the issues, but we do agree on the importance of serving the public. And so he is to be applauded for putting himself in the arena.”

These remarks were met by applause, although it was less enthusiastic than the applause that came earlier.

JOHN GREGG CONCEDES

SEE HOLCOMB ON PG 11

BY A N N I K A L A RSON N E W S @ N U V O . NET

“Let tonight be a night where the healing begins and we begin to move forward as one. Tonight we’re all Hoosiers,” John Gregg said, beginning his concession speech Tuesday night at the Indiana Convention Center.

With a 45 percent result, Gregg barely scraped by in the Indiana Gubernatorial race. The Gregg/Hale campaign failed to secure office, but gave a hopeful concession speech. “I got into this race because I love Indiana.

I love the small towns, the big towns, and everything in between,” said Gregg.

Gregg’s running mate and candidate for Lieutenant Governor Christina Hale followed Gregg’s model for hope during her concession speech.

“We just want to do good things for people. Tonight, we have to acknowledge that we did not get our message out. But I’ll tell you, we love the people of Indiana.”

Hale believes that, “the Democratic party will regroup. We just want to do things in a sensible way. Tomorrow is another day. We’ll get up and try again and try to elevate the public conversation to the things that people care about.”

Hale and Gregg felt positive about a win after the bus tour they took with other Democratic candidates across the state. Unfortunately, this tour wasn’t enough to sway Hoosiers to the Democratic cause.

The heartbreak in the room was palpable. For Democrats, this was a major setback both politically and emotionally. Many supporters believed that a Gregg/Hale win would be the Democratic jumpstart the state needed. Both candidates had family members on stage with visible tears, and Gregg himself choked up at a point in the speech.

Walking into the Democratic watch party at the convention center, the immediate sight of “Gregg for Governor” shirts, signs, and (literally) temporary face tattoos was contagiously energetic. Once the first poll numbers began to roll in, the energy visibly deflated. Whispers of a loss moved through the crowd, but it wasn’t until the race was officially called that concession began.

Ending his speech, Gregg reiterated hope. “Democrats. We can win. We will win. View this as a beginning, not as an end. View this as a time for us to re-energize our party and embrace our state to go forward together.”

HOLCOMB FROM PG 10

“But who I really need to thank are the folks in this room, and rooms like this all over the state of Indiana,” he continued.

“If you are still up watching, I can’t wait to be in your neighborhood soon and you know I will be. I want to personally thank each and every one of you who poured your heart out over these last hundred days.”

When Pence was called up to be Trump’s running mate, Holcomb became the G.O.P.’s gubernatorial candidate. In just one hundred days, Holcomb went from being considered a long-shot thrown into the race to the governor.

“You heard what I heard,” he said.

“You heard: ‘Holcomb can’t raise enough money,’ ‘Holcomb can’t put a … statewide campaign together in a short amount of time.’ ‘Holcomb can’t do this and Holcomb can’t do that.’ Well, they were partly right. Holcomb couldn’t do it but we did.”

This, too, was met by applause and cheers by the crowd, now high from vic-

“I also want to thank my two predecessors,” he continued. “It’s because of former governor Daniels that I first came to state government back in 2005. He taught us to aim higher. And it’s because of my current boss, Mike Pence, that we as a state work.”

The roar from the crowd was deafening at the mention of soon-to-be VicePresident-elect Mike Pence.

The thanks continued, and he mentioned the leadership of Sen. Dan Coats, whose seat was won by Todd Young.

“Mitch Daniels built a foundation, Mike Pence added a couple stories, and Suzanne Crouch and I are going to add story after story after story as we take Indiana to the next level,” Holcomb concluded. “There is not a minute to spare … it’s time to move forward to the second 100 days … and that begins tomorrow.”

ELKHART PROSECUTOR BECOMES INDIANA’S TOP LAWYER Attorney General race was a battle of Northern Indiana men

BY M IC H A EL RHE INH E IME R NEWS@NUVO . N ET

Curtis Hill, former Prosecuting Attorney for Elkhart County, handily defeated Democratic opponent Lorenzo Arredondo by nearly half a million votes.

In his victory speech, Hill promised to do his part to roll back what federal overreach. During his campaign, Hill referred to Obama’s executive action against the North Carolina restroom bill -- used as an attack on transgender and gender nonconforming individuals -- as a sign of federal government overstepping its boundaries.

Introduced by former Attorney General Greg Zoeller, Curtis Hill took the stage flanked by his wife and their five children.

We planned for a great Republican victory – ladies and gentlemen we got it today,” Hill said. “First of all, let me thank our Heavenly Father for giving us grace

and the awesome opportunity to lead for Indiana.”

Hill then thanked his family for their support throughout the long election season, and his “hundreds of volunteers.”

“If you followed me on the campaign trail, you know that I spoke of courage,” Hill continued. “The courage of my father, my hero. And although my father passed away over 15 years ago, I can tell you that my father has been with me every step of the way of this journey.”

Hill thanked both of his parents for giving him a sense of responsibility to protect.

“I first ran for office because I believe in America,” he continued. “I believe in the promise of America – for one person to have a vision and share it with a few.

As I have travelled the state, I’ve listened and I’ve learned the concerns of Hoosiers.

They’ve told me their priorities and I’ve made them my own.”

TODD YOUNG CLAIMS VICTORY “Bye, Bayh” screams GOP results party

BY MICH A EL RH E INH E IME R NEWS@N U VO . N ET

News of Todd Young’s election was heavily hinted, but not formally announced until the image of Evan Bayh appeared on the two large screens at the front of the room. The crowd stood in rapt attention, watching their rival concede his race.

At the final count, Young carried 52 percent of the vote while Bayh took 42.4 percent. Libertarian Lucy Brenton carried 5.5 percent.

Screams of “Bye, Bayh” rang through the ballroom during the former Indiana governor and senator’s brief concession speech. Towards the end of his speech, Bayh led the Democratic crowd in singing “Happy Birthday” to his twin sons, who turn twenty-one today — this was met by loud boos from the Republicans.

Young did not take the stage until later in the evening. The apparent darling of the room, Young began his speech to thunderous applause. At this point in the evening, the good news had been rolling in for several hours. The crowd was high on victory.

Young, of course, thanked his family and volunteers for their tireless support.

He then turned his attention to healing the rift caused by the Indiana senate race.

He thanked Evan Bayh for a spirited

campaign and for his past public service.

“For while we have policy disagreements, I know that Senator Bayh and I agree that we need to find a path forward — one nation, under God,” he said.

“Our Democrat neighbors fought hard, but now it’s time to come together for the good of the state and our country.”

The speech returned the focus to the reigning theme of the night: it was a good day to be a Republican, especially in the state of Indiana. Specifically, the speech was truly a Young speech, making no less than seven references to being a former Marine.

“I ran for the United States Senator for the reason I joined the United States Marine Corps,” he said. “I wanted to be part of the solution. Now tonight was a great victory not for me, but for the people of Indiana. You see, I learned in the Marines to put people before politics, and the Indiana senate seat belongs to the people of Indiana. This is your seat … More than anything, tonight’s victory belongs to any one of us that believes Indiana, and America, is bigger and stronger than our problems for those of us that are optimistic about our country’s future.”

“Tonight … you voted to send in the Marines,” he said to deafening cheers.

EVAN BAYH, FAVORED SON, LOSES TO TODD YOUNG Rep. Young moves from House to Senate

BY A N N I K A L A RSON NEWS@NUVO.NET

“Serving you for 22 years has been the defining experience of my life,” said Evan Bayh during his concession speech. Bayh lost to Republican Todd Young, who took a U.S. Senate victory against Bayh. Young stuck to a “committed to Indiana” platform message and proved victorious in his first term run as he made the jump from the House to the Senate.

“Together we were able to create the 21 Century Scholars program. Together we created the most new jobs during any 8 year period in the history of our state. We balanced the budget, implemented the largest tax cut in state history, worked to combat Alzheimer’s, to lift up small business, to bring our state together. That is what I hope public service should be all about.”

“I stand ready in the years to come to help my fellow citizens in any capacity that they see fit for me to serve them.

I also hope more than anything that together we can find a better type of politics. One that emphasizes hope, not fear. One that brings us together rather than divides us. One that finds common ground that we can stand on and

move forward on together because in this critical hour, America needs you and me more than anything else. Tomorrow reach out to those who perhaps voted in a different direction because they are not our adversaries. They are our friends, our colleagues, our neighbors, and most of all, our fellow Hoosiers and fellow Americans. And despite what people may tell you, we have more in common than divides us.”

During his speech, Bayh seemed to criticize the bigger Republican cause.

While the screens to the left of the stage were showing national election results, Bayh spoke to Hoosiers as if he were addressing the entire country, not just the state.

Bayh remained hopeful for a bright, Democratic future for the state and the country. “While we may have our disappointments this evening, tomorrow will bring a new day bringing with it the potential for new horizons of hope and opportunity for all of our people. Let us go forward, determined in the days ahead that we will enable our friends to live out the full meaning of the pledge.”

As quickly as the speech began, it ended and Bayh left the stage. It was overall a somber mood for Democrats.

SOCIAL RESPONSE We were up until 5 a.m. watching results come in. So were you.

Here’s a collection of some of the most poignant comments we read on social media.

I’m trying hard to remain above the fray, but I’m afraid we’re going to become a dumber, less inclusive, coarser, angrier, scarier country.

How do so many white men really believe they can only lose to a woman and/or person of color when the process is rigged?

INDY SAYS YES TO MASS TRANSIT Central Indiana supports an income tax increase

L

BY EM I L Y TA Y LOR E T A Y L O R @ N U V O .NET

ike a light at the end of the tunnel, Indy voted in favor of question two from the election day ballots — a vote that depicted Indianapolis’ interest in increasing mass transit within the city.

The question read as follows: Shall Marion County have the ability to impose a county economic development income tax rate, not to exceed a rate of 0.25%, to pay for improving or establishing public transportation service in the county through a public transportation project that will create a connected network of buses and rapid transit lines; increase service frequency; extend operational hours; and implement three new rapid transit lines?

The question actually proposes whether City-County Council should create a small income tax that’s meant to fund a public transportation plan for the county.

It should be noted however, that the vote is simply a way to gauge interest. The increase won’t actually touch taxpayers until there is a vote and decision from the council.

The tax increase shakes out to 25 cents from every $100 earned. That money will go to overhauling the current IndyGo bus system — which desperately needs it, according to supporters.

NUVO’s news editor Amber Stearns noted the impacts that mass transit currently has in Indiana in an earlier article, writing: “Economic development officials agree with studies that show how access

to employment factors into a company’s decision to locate in an area. Social justice advocates point to employment access on behalf of the employee. Unreliable transportation to a job can prevent an unemployed individual from taking a job they know they won’t be able to get to.

Millennials are wanting more opportunities to live close to where employment as well as lifestyle amenities are close by, especially those concerned with reducing their own personal carbon footprint on the world. The U.S. Center for Disease Control found that people who utilize public transportation get more exercise simply by walking to and from stops and destinations. And fewer cars on the roads mean fewer vehicle accidents resulting in personal injury or damage, according to the National Safety Council.”

Opponents of the plan recommend investing in more “modern” modes of transportation such as Lyft and Uber.

Currently, IndyGo bus riders can wait up to 90 minutes for some bus lines.

Most of the services make stops every 30 minutes to an hour. Part of the additional funds would add more buses — pushing services wait times up to 15 minutes between buses. The proposed rapid transit lines — the Red, Blue and Purple lines — would operate with a frequency of every 10 minutes, putting as much rapid in “rapid transit” as possible.

This is the first time that mass transit has made its way onto a ballot for Indianapolis; Indy natives made their voices heard with 189,576 voting yes vs. 130,112 in opposition.

BYE, BYE BAMBI It’s your constitutional right to kill a deer — not that you couldn’t before

Y

B Y CA VA N M c G INSIE CMCGINSIE@N U VO . N ET

ou soon will have the constitutional right to hunt and fish in the state of Indiana.

Not that you ever didn’t have the right.

And that right was never at risk.

But, well, now it is in our Bill of Rights and you’ll never have to worry about it again.

Now we just have to worry about plenty of other issues as pointed out by NUVO contributor Lori Lovely’s article Does the Indiana constitution need amending for right to hunt and fish?

As Erin Huang of the Humane Society points out in that article: “The problem is, it invites lawsuits. It invites problems; people will challenge limits and restrictions, so the state will spend money on defense.” The limits referenced here are the hunting seasons, the amount of deer allowed per hunter, the weapons used and it goes from there.

It also will “limit the ability of the state to protect the lives of endangered species and non-game animals and make it harder for the DNR to do their job,” says Tim Maloney, senior policy director for the Hoosier Environmental Council.

When looked at from afar it is easy to surmise that this amendment will lead us to the point where we simply are killing off animal populations instead of resorting to non-lethal ways of population

control. While the DNR believes that it won’t affect its ability to handle wildlife due to statutory authority, it doesn’t mean that this is a fact, especially since the state constitution is literally the law of the land.

The most glaring issue with this is constitutional amendments are typically held for truly pressing matters — like making women equal citizens and the right to free speech — and not for protecting rights that are already protected by law and have always been protected by law and have never been threatened by laws.

As Lovely’s article brings to light: Maloney says, “It’s inappropriate to seek protection for them. It trivializes the importance of rights when you introduce things like this.” And Kerr hypothesizes that “the only reason it’s on the ballot is because our legislators did a favor for the NRA and animal agriculture lobbyists.”

We will see where it leads from here, both sides are full of speculation as to where we go from here. As Lovely points out, “Hunting and fishing in Indiana constitute an almost-$1 billion-per-year industry and support more than 14,000 jobs. This is one of the top ten deerhunting states in the nation.” So there is a possibility of positives coming out of this. There is also the blatantly scary aspect of making such a major change with a bill that truly is so vague.

on a journey. In a weird way it was pretty chilling how I came to buy the book.

And because of that I read a lot of his other books. (Editor’s Note: Sagal noted that before he was 18 he is pretty sure that he read all of them up to Breakfast of Champions.)

NUVO: You are getting the Vonnegut humor award. Tell me about how Vonnegut influenced you as a writer, humorist and even as a playwright?

BY EMILY TA Y L O R ETAYLOR@NU VO . N ET

eter Sagal, host of NPR’s famous show Wait, Wait... Don’t Tell Me!, will be receiving the Vonnegut Humor award during Vonnegut week in Indianapolis. Sagal has been a longtime fan of Vonnegut’s. So we chatted with the famous host of the two-decadelong and 5 million listener show, before he accepts the award from the Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library.

PETER SAGAL: I was just sitting here working on my remarks for the award ceremony in a few weeks.

NUVO: Can you give me any previews?

SAGAL: I rarely do things in advance but I was thinking about stuff this morning and was like, “yeah, I’m going to write some of this stuff down.”

NUVO: What were you thinking about?

Sagal: I was thinking about, oh gosh, I am trying to remember. I was starting to think this morning. Have you ever heard of a writer named Nicholson Baker?

NUVO: No. I haven’t.

SAGAL: I am a big fan of his. He is a contemporary author. He has been writing fun books, novels and nonfiction for about 20 years. And early on in his career, he wrote this book called You and I, which he tried to write all of the things he could remember about his favorite author, which is John Updike … And I just started thinking about what it was that I remembered about [Vonnegut’s] books. What sort of stuck with me and how Vonnegut affected me and what drew me to him based on what I remembered.

I also thought about, I don’t know if you have ever seen it — Kurt Vonnegut, right before he died — he did an interview with Jon Stewart. He was pretty old.

ANDREW COLLINGS | NPR

In this interview Sagal also spoke about how terrible this election is for comedy-news writing: “We don’t want the jokes to write themselves.”

ager. And I would always go to the local bookstore, and go right to the science fiction section and look for a paperback with a wonderful worded cover.

And I remember — very vividly, and I would almost bet that this was the first Vonnegut book I read — seeing cover is a very Vonnegut the of The Sirens of Titan. If — PETER SAGAL you have seen it, at least the paperback version I bought back then — it’s probably still somewhere in my library, I kept all my Vonnegut books — it’s a drawing and sort of color illustration of these three absolutely gorgeous women, hardly wearing any bits of fabric and Sirens of Titan as the title. “Well that sounds like a good book,” I said. So I bought it and discovered, like a lot of people who NUVO: What book of his do you bought Vonnegut science fiction, that it remember most vividly? was that and a lot more. That book really stuck with me. In fact in the book you SAGAL: Umm, I remember the — and I am going to talk about this — I was a big find out that those women are in fact fake. They are to lure a character to go fan of science fiction when I was a teenIt was about a year before he died at the age of 87. And he didn’t have a lot to say, but Jon Stewart took this opportunity to thank Vonnegut. And he said something like … “Thank you for letting me know when I was a young kid that I wasn’t alone. That I wasn’t the only person “Offering comfort who felt like this.” thing to do” And I know what Stewart means or meant. I started thinking about the comfort I got from Vonnegut, because he was always writing about people who didn’t quite fit in, in a world that didn’t quite make sense, in a world that didn’t understand, yet managed to get by. Anyway that was — shall we say — a big theme for me when I was in adolescence.

SAGAL: ... I never sat down to consciously write like Vonnegut, but certainly there is the simplicity of his prose, which is quite famous, that had a lot of effect on me. The episodic nature of his writing — no scenes went on too long.

His, I don’t know how to put this, maybe his informality. Of all the great modern American authors, he is by far the most accessible. Maybe that hurt his reputation. Maybe there is that.

But this came to me later … there is his famous thing in God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater, that there is only one rule and that is “be kind damn it.” And that’s something that I ended up thinking a lot about. Not only in my career in radio, but also in my personal life.

That you come to that. That there are a lot of things that seem important when you are younger are less important than simply being kind. … That is something that I think about a lot when it comes to my own show Wait, Wait… Don’t Tell Me. When it started I was this young man who believed I could change the world and really shake people out of their complacency with my comedy.

Even when I was a playwright, I really wanted to afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted. And over the years I learned that that’s silly. That I’m not going to change anything. No one is going to listen to a public radio show — no one in power, I should say, is going to listen to a silly public radio show.

Obviously 5 million people listen to it …

I could speak truth to power all I wanted but power wasn’t going to listen, they are too big and powerful. What I could do and have done — at least as far as people tell me — is provide some comfort. Not the kind of emotional comfort you might offer a loved one, but a kind of humor. … Offering comfort is a very Vonnegut thing to do. n

THE PERSON BEHIND THE UNIFORM

Indianapolis Art Center hosts an exhibit about military tattoos KYLE RAGSDALE’S INSIGNIFICANT

r

The mega-exhibit (87 works in all) of Kyle Ragsdale’s most recent work includes charcoal on paper drawings as well as prints in addition to a large selection of paintings. The paintings, per the title, push for the significance of Indiana history, based as they are on historical photos of people and places in Indiana.

Ragsdale’s signature style reigns here. Many paintings involve highly abstracted figures backed up against — or occasionally dissolving into their — colorfully expressive backgrounds. “Asbury before the Fire” depicts a group of students in front of Greencastle’s Asbury College (now DePauw) building glowing as pink as a sunset. Perhaps the glow is foreshadowing its eventual immolation.

“General of Sobro” depicts characters in Revolutionary War frock coats in bicorne hats. Half of them are depicted upside down, defying gravity.

You too might feel more upside down than right side up after cruising the bars of South Broad Ripple.

Clearly, Ragsdale has also cruised the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Aficionados want to check out the painting entitled “Writer’s Ex-Wife,” an expressionistic riff on a prominently displayed painting at the IMA: “Louise Fletcher” by Mary S. Blumenschein, painted in 1912.

In “Judge and Jury” however, the color palette is dampened down and thus the overall tone of the painting is more solemn than many of the pieces here (similar in tone to, say, Jamie Wyeth’s “Meteor Shower.”) The portrayed seem to be all serious men, perhaps en route to or back from war.

It appears that they have a very serious decision to make about one of their fellow soldiers. But the background is faded like an old photograph and the features of the men depicted are likewise indistinct. Do we see the past as something that is irretrievable and far gone or do we see the past through rose-colored glasses?

Don’t miss the monotype prints and charcoal drawings overflowing out of the main gallery into the hall. The charcoal drawing “Planter” depicts a number of head portraits of women who are all gazing down demurely. “Dreams” is a beautiful, simply drawn portrayal of a woman in profile.

very day, Jeremy Barnes looks at the tattoo on his arm and is reminded of the time he spent serving in the military.

“My arm is a memorial … a tribute … a reminder … a sense of pride for myself and everyone who served next to me … who continue to serve or were lost serving,” says Barnes, who served military time in Iraq.

“The battle cross, or the interpretation of it, on my arm is more than a tattoo. It’s more than art … it’s love. Love for my brothers and sisters and love for this great fucking country.”

From November 12 until the end of the month, Barnes’ tattoo and tale will be featured alongside many others in an Indianapolis Art Center exhibit called The Things They Brought Home: Military Tattoos.

In keeping with Spirit & Place’s “Home” theme, The Things They Brought Home is exploring the concept of body as home through the lens of these tattoos, explains Indianapolis Art Center director of education and outreach Michelle Winkelman.

“We’re using the tattoos as a way to talk about the veterans’ experiences with leaving home and coming back,” says Winkelman. “We’re also talking about the concept of the body as home, and tattoos as a way of showing your inside on the outside. So we’re sort of bringing together the art form of tattooing, the theoretical concept of body

as home and the really direct experience of veterans and their relationship with home in the exhibit.” Tattoos from 14 different veterans will be featured in the exhibition, with the ages of these men ranging from mid- 20s to 70 years old.

In addition to having a picture taken of their tattoos, the Indianapolis Art Center asked the veterans to sit down and write out the stories that accompany the ink on their skin, teaming up with the Indiana Writers Center for help with this piece of the puzzle.

“When we were recruiting them, we were pretty transparent that we wanted them to share their stories with the public, so they had to be comfortable with that,” says Winkelman. Through this collection process, a vast spectrum of stories began to surface.

“There’s one guy who has a story about putting a tattoo on himself so that if he was going to be killed in combat and dismembered, that they could identify parts of his body because they were tattooed,” Winkelman says. “But then, on the other end of the scale, you’ve got a story of a guy who got a tattoo on a whim, and he passed out in the middle of it because it was his first one.”

Dan Helrigel and Jeff Jeffries were given the responsibility of photographing the tattoos for the exhibit. As one might expect, each piece of skin art varied in shade and size, which made it a little bit harder to fully capture the character of the art.

“To me, a tattoo is more impressive in person than it comes across in a photograph, and I think that’s the case with a lot of photographic subjects,” says Helrigel, photography and digital arts studio chair at the Indianapolis Art Center. “When we’re trying to take some part of reality and then flatten it, shrink it and put it in this box, it takes away from some of the actual real life impact.” Regardless, he was touched by several of the interactions he had with the veterans, who would occasionally open up about their tattoo stories.

“The thing I took away was really that I wanted to know more,” says Helrigel.

“There’s so much more that we don’t know that would be intriguing, amazing and sometimes heartbreaking to know.”

This sentiment is one that Winkelman shares, especially considering she has no family members with military experience.

She ultimately hopes that people will leave the gallery with a greater appreciation for the men and women that serve our country.

“These are guys that all have military experience, and they all have tattoos,” she concludes. “But, within that, there’s a huge range. So I hope that people are able to connect, but also to really see that there’s a person behind the uniform.” n

SCREENS

THEY'RE HERE...

Moonlight q Moonlight is a film full of mesmerizing mystery.

As it slowly searches through a young man’s conflicted heart, it creates a moment-to-moment feeling of discovery. It leaves you with a sense of pure wonder.

The film is a sprawling yet intimate urban epic. Based on an unproduced play by Tarell Alvin McCraney, it follows a young Black man as he grapples with homosexuality and growing up on the drug-drenched streets of Miami. We see Chiron as a painfully quiet boy (Alex Hibbert), a troubled teenager (Ashton Sanders) and a hardened drug dealer (Trevante Rhodes).

Writer-director Barry Jenkins maintains a masterful slow-burn pace as he digs under the bloodstained surface of Chiron’s world to reveal the desperation and aching beauty beneath. James Laxton’s cinematography captures the majesty amid the crumbling setting. And Nicholas Britell’s score looms over the film like the ghosts of Chiron’s past. Like the otherworldly glow to which the title refers, it’s eerily beautiful.

When we finally see Chiron as an adult, his former self is buried under brawn and bravado. It’s a tragic portrait of toxic masculinity being used as a defense mechanism.

We live in a world that’s largely more open to homosexuality. Yet here is Chiron, hiding behind intimidating muscles and sharp gold teeth. He powerfully embodies the timeless challenge of opening up one’s identity to the world. Rhodes perfectly captures the crippling weight of Chiron’s past. He makes his pain our own as he talks to his estranged mother (Naomie Harris) and reconnects with his high school friend (André Holland) — the first person to ever make him feel comfortable with his sexual identity.

Moonlight radiates with you-are-there immediacy, putting us in Chiron’s skin as he struggles to break out of his shell. It’s an intensely relevant film — a shattering reflection of today’s world.

It’s harrowing yet hopeful, making us wince and marvel at the spectacle of raw humanity — SAM WATERMEIER Rated R, Showing at the Keystone Art Cinema

tician Ian Donnelly (Jeremy Renner) to learn how to communicate with the visitors and determine if they are a menace.

But how do you communicate with aliens?

With a newly discovered human you might begin by pointing to yourself and saying your name, then pointing to the stranger with a questioning look.

But wait. Are these creatures individuals?

Are the sounds they make (scraping noises and something that sounds a bit like whale song) language? Does pointing mean the same thing to them as it does to you? And how do you indicate you’re asking a question and not making a statement when you share no reference points?

When I was a kid I gobbled up stories like this. I loved sorting through the premises, letting myself be led, and savoring the part where the author started providing answers. Oh, how I enjoyed the “aaaaah” moment of realization. It didn’t have to be crystal clear (in fact, it was usually better when it wasn’t). I just needed enough to make me think different than when I started.

Arrival does that. And Villeneuve gets us there while creating an atmosphere that

is memorably otherworldly even while depicting the nuts and bolts process of the military getting in and out of the alien vehicle. Amy Adams is spot on in the lead role, admirably keeping the story on track and not seizing a flashy scene for the consideration of Oscar voters. She does everything right.

Jeremy Renner is serviceable in the primary supporting role, while Forest Whitaker entertains himself by cooking up some bizarre accent stew for his role as a blustery military leader that gets in the way.

After the screening of Arrival a writer friend/colleague noted that the film was at times reminiscent of Terrence Malik’s The Tree of Life and Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar. I agree, while noting that it is much shorter than Tree of Life (it’s just under two hours), and far less annoying than Interstellar. Be aware – the story is a head trip. If you’re in the mood for that, wonderful. If not, I suggest you see something else, because the atmosphere and dialogue may put you to sleep.

I just saw the film last night and right now I feel like the final portion of the story is missing something. It works, certainly, but I have this nagging sense that Villeneuve wasn’t as sure how to get out of his movie as he was to get into it. Never mind, I’ll try to sort it out after I see it again.

Sometimes things look different when your context changes. n

Hoosier horror filmmaker creates a war movie out of toy soldiers.

he Devil Dogs of Kilo Company is a childhood dream brought to vivid life.

It’s the kind of fantasy you pictured in your head when you played with plastic Army men in your backyard as a kid.

With more than 400 toy soldiers, writerdirector Bobby Easley masterfully recreates the madness of World War II. The film is a piece of alternate history that follows a motley crew of Marines as they hop from a campaign in the Pacific to a top secret mission in Nazi Germany.

In addition to local spots like Carson Park, much of the film was shot in Easley’s basement, which is like a museum, filled with miniature sets, figurines and movie memorabilia. Although it was made in a small space with little toy soldiers, the film feels larger than life. It’s a visual marvel — you can’t take your eyes off of it.

As if the film weren’t impressive enough, it boasts a cast of horror icons, including Bill Moseley (The Devil’s Rejects), John Dugan (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and Kane Hodder — the man behind Jason’s hockey mask in the Friday the 13th films. Easley convinced the actors to do voice work after showing them test footage of the film at last year’s Days of the Dead convention in Atlanta.

nlike her usual work, Pamela Bliss’ painting for the film Loving Vincent didn’t make her worry about dying.

Most of Bliss’ work finds her high upon the sides of tall buildings downtown. The local artist is best known for her mural of Kurt Vonnegut, which stands above Indianapolis residents as they walk down Mass Ave. “I have grown accustomed to working with heavy lift equipment or lugging up paint and crawling across scaffolding in the heat, cold, wind and rain,” Bliss says.

“I also have to think about problems like pits in a wall that might make a shadow on an important detail … or sometimes

Seriously, it's all stop-motion toy soldiers.

Although Easley is embedding himself in the horror community with his production company, Horror Wasteland Pictures, he finds much inspiration in his military roots. His first film — a slasher flick called X — draws upon his experience in the Marines. And Devil Dogs is even closer to his heart. When asked about what military memories he brought to this film, Easley says, “I brought everything. As Stephen King says, ‘Write what

you know.’ My time in the Marines is a huge part of me.”

The Devil Dogs of Kilo Company is showing on Veterans Day (7 p.m.) at the Indianapolis Art Center in conjunction with Veterans Art Day. Tickets are $5, and all proceeds benefit the Wish for Our Heroes foundation, which is dedicated to providing resources for the same kind of brave soldiers that the film honors. n

The local artist behind the Vonnegut mural makes an animated film in Poland

I just think about not dying when I’m 50 feet high.”

This year, Bliss left the Indianapolis skyline and headed to Poland to work on an animated exploration of Vincent Van Gogh. Along with 100 other international artists, she was selected to help paint over 62,000 frames for the film.

“Many of the Poland studio artists were Polish, but we did have several who were from countries like Serbia, Austria, Ukraine, Ireland, England, India and other countries. About 35 artists from outside of Poland were selected from 5,000 applications,” Bliss says. “They were looking for artists who were experts in their fields.

Some were classically trained painters while others were trained in animation with an aptitude in painting. But no mat-

ter what, nothing prepared the artists for this type of repetitive painting. It was like an intensive crash course in animation.”

Hailed as the first true feature-length work of hand-painted animation, Loving Vincent was prescreened at the National Gallery in London on Oct. 28.

“It’s quite thrilling to see my painting moving since I’m used to seeing my work so still and stationary,” Bliss says. “Of course I saw a lot of things I would’ve liked to do differently once I saw it in motion.

But then again, a lot of artists are never done with their work.”

Until the film’s international premiere next year, you can see Bliss back on buildings downtown, battling heights, braving the weather and touching up her old murals. n

Centerpoint’s official opening on Oct. 29 revealed a stunning taproom vista and a bright outdoor gathering space. Their mission: “We intentionally make balanced, approachable beers that appeal to both craft beer geeks and casual Americanmacro drinkers alike.”

Here’s the story from NUVO’s on-site visit: NUVO: What special qualities does Centerpoint Brewing Company bring to the Indiana [and Indianapolis] brewing industry?

Jeff Ready: We three founders [Jeff Ready, Jonathan Robinson and Peter Argiris] are all engineers (graduates of Rose-Hulman) and that formal training really pushes us to mind the details and to design and control every aspect of the brewing process. We are combining the Charlie Papazian homebrew mantra of “Relax. Don’t worry. Have a homebrew.” with the engineering aspect of “If you don’t get the math right, the bridge will collapse.”

NUVO: What do you anticipate will be special about your connections with your neighborhood?

Jeff Ready: We’re really excited to be a part of the CCIC redevelopment project, which is taking a huge — and largely neglected — building and turning into something we think will be very cool.

We’re hoping the brewery itself will become a place where the neighborhood can get together to enjoy a beer and that we’ll be a key part of a project that revitalizes the area.

NUVO: What should patrons of craft beer expect from your menu of beers?

Jeff Ready: I think like any brewer, we are looking to make high-quality beers people enjoy. For us, this starts with all the attention to detail. We are starting with a full water quality control system so we can precisely manage the exact mineral content of our brew water and have a full quality control lab to make sure we are getting everything just right. We also strive for balanced beers — the name Centerpoint Brewing and our plumb bob logo come from that engineering background and our desire to find that perfect balance between the raw ingredients and to control of the process variables for any style of beer we make.

NUVO: Why should a non-craft beer drinker want to try Centerpoint brews?

Jeff: Part of our approach is to brew beers designed to be approachable by everyone, both beer geeks and non-beer geeks alike. For example, the Centerpoint Gold 52 is a golden ale — it’s the beer we won the gold medal for at the Indiana Brewers Cup in 2014. It’s not overly malty or super hoppy, but is a clean, refreshing brew — or as we put it to folks who aren’t familiar with lots of craft beer styles, it’s a “beer-flavored beer.”

ll bourbon comes from Kentucky, right? Wrong. This is just the most basic and common misconception that perpetuates the world of whiskey, and the team at North End Barbecue & Moonshine are trying their best to dispel these myths and to educate our community. Jason Foust, bar manager at North End, started a new series of classes called Whisk(e)y Education as a way for you to learn the intricacies of whiskey and don’t worry, you get to do some tastings while you’re at it.

“We opened North End with the intention of having not only the best whiskey/bourbon selection in the state, but to back up that positioning with a commitment to education,” says Foust, explaining the reasoning behind the classes. “The category (bourbon/whiskey) is the fastest growing spirit category,

and I feel it’s important to be able to talk intelligently about anything you are trying to sell, especially with something so popular. If we as bartenders/chefs/ mixologists are going to have obscure ingredients and products on our menus, our establishments should have a knowledgable staff who can talk intelligently about the menu.”

This past week my father and I took the opportunity to further our knowledge of whiskey. For me, the most notable aspect of the evening was just how approachable the class was, which is important for an event like this. When describing the program and who it’s built for Foust says, “We have it structured

to appeal to anyone. The education we bring for the classes is a comprehensive base, touching on all areas (tasting, distillation, history, laws, aging, etc).”

There are four levels of classes available, each one slightly more advanced than the next. We were happily doing the Bourbon 101 class, which costs $35 a person. We sat down to a flight of whiskies and had communal plates of homemade smoked onion dip and chips in front of us. When we asked later in the evening about the food and how chef Mitch McDaniels chose the dish, he said something to the effect of “It’s chips and dip, it’s fucking good,” and he was right.

Once we were all in our seats Foust started in with a quick overview of whiskey, the grains used in the process of creating it, the different styles and what is necessary to be considered Tennessee whiskey, or bourbon or anything else. “All bourbon is whiskey, but not all

THIS WEEK

whiskey is bourbon,” was stated quite a few times.

When asked how the whiskies for the flights are chosen, Foust says, “I try to gauge the group upon booking. We are seeing a good mix of groups, whether corporate outings, bachelor parties or birthdays. I try to include a progressive flight in each class that includes a clear distillate (‘white whiskey or white dog’ right off the still before it goes into a barrel), a 4-year-old of the same ‘juice’ and a 10-12-year-old of that same whiskey. This gives insight to the evolution of the flavors as it ages in the barrel.”

This is exactly how our class started.

Foust had us do our first taste of Heaven Hill Distillate. It’s a rare opportunity to get a taste of distillate, especially from a company as massive as Heaven Hill. We were looking forward to see how aging changed this powerful flavor.

Next came a second taste from the kitchen, a simple yet tasty dish of brioche topped with bourbon-flavored cream cheese and pepper jelly.

“Mitch will play off the general taste profiles of the whiskies we are presenting,” Foust says of the food pairings.

“We will usually start with something salty and smoky for a sort of palate cleanser, yet something that complements the whiskies. It’s usually something off-menu. It’s a chance to get outside the BBQ box and let Mitch explore his culinary skills. We keep them small portions to eat as you sip.”

With the food in front of us Foust pushed on with the class.

Describing his thought process Foust says, “I try to highlight different types of whiskey (wheat, rye, malted), finished whiskies (port, wine, sherry) which are becoming increasingly popular, and bonded whiskies which are government-regulated whiskies which began in the late 1800s and are coming back in the spotlight.”

The second flight came and gave us a look at some of the more inventive, less traditional bourbons and whiskies that are out there on the market. It started with Stranahan’s. Stranahan’s is crafted in Colorado and it was incredible to taste just how different the flavor was due to the change in climes. This flight also consisted of Bulleit Rye, Angels Envy and High West Yippee Ki-yay — all great whiskies and all slightly out of the norm.

During this portion we also got a taste of North End’s incredible brisket on a dish that was all burnt ends with some KC sauce on top of a Johnny cake with pickled onions and queso fresco. It complemented the whiskies perfectly.

VOICES

Foust ended the presentation by sharing the history of bourbon and also giving us a look at the family trees of many of the most popular bourbons out there. Nine companies craft nearly 90 of the bourbons you’ll see on shelves, which still blows my mind.

North End BBQ and Moonshine has a noble and straightforward goal with this series, as Foust tells me: “An overall increase in knowledge of our whiskey drinking community.

“There are so many laws and myths that need to be shared or debunked! I feel it’s important to know what you are drinking and to understand what it took to get into your glass.”

The class we were part of was a hybrid blend of the Bourbon 101 and Whiskey 201 options. But there are much more specialized versions if you already posses a greater knowledge of whiskey.

Foreign Oak 301 is only $50 and will get you two flights of three whiskies from international markets like Japan, Taiwan & France. You’ll also get the chance to try some whiskies aged in foreign casks like French Oak or Limousine Oak (you so fancy). Or if you so choose, do one of the family flights.

If you are well-versed in whiskey and still want the chance to gain knowledge and to taste some of the rarer whiskies out there, the Master Distiller 401 option is $60 and sounds like an incredible experience. Foust had a reminder for people looking into these more advanced categories: “I can also accommodate to requests because there are several whiskies that I can procure that you wouldn’t find in a store easily.”

You can have a vertical flight of Four Roses, which is one of the most respected bourbon families. You may also have a flight consisting of Heaven Hill’s top tier whiskies which includes Parkers Heritage, Elijah Craig 18 year, Elijah Craig 23 year and Elijah Craig Barrel Strength. The other option is rare and limited releases from Wild Turkey including selections from Wild Turkey 17 year Masters Keep, Wild Turkey Diamond, Russell’s 1998 and Russell’s Single Barrel Rye. These courses are an incredible and inexpensive investment for anyone who

wants to further their knowledge of whiskey. We live in an era where we are becoming more attached to our food and drink products; we want to know where things are sourced. Are they sustainable? Are they quality? We are excited to educate ourselves. The team at North End BBQ & Moonshine is giving us an opportunity to do that, no matter our existing knowledge of whiskey.

As Foust explains it, by sharing knowledge with the public, the bar and restaurant are able to better do what they love doing, “We want to use all these geeky and obscure ingredients behind the bar and in the kitchen, but most of our customers have no idea what they are.

“If we want to grow as a professional community, we have to help our customers grow with us. If we give them this knowledge, they will have the confidence to embrace the others in the community doing the same thing. We are young in this aspect, and we have to give our customers the confidence to trust us in our profession. I hope that the commitment we have to fresh, homemade ingredients resonates with customers expecting the same from the other places they frequent.” n

Sedcairn Archives’s OOBYDOOB comes out Friday on JNR

B Y TA Y L O R P ETERS MUSIC@NUVO.NET

he first couple times I listened to OOBYDOOB, Sedcairn Archives’ latest LP on Joyful Noise Recordings, I thought the kickoff sound was some kind of film projector. I heard it hum, ready to flash off images on a blank wall. I was primed to scan these sounds as cinematic: celluloid ticker tape, flashing orange, yellow and green, moaning samples, tumbling drums.

That’s no film projector, though. It’s an elevator downward and it’s firing up, so you better warn the foreman that we’re back in the cave.

In 2014, Sedcairn Archives, the current preferred alias of Indianapolis’ David “Moose” Adamson, dropped Mammoth Cave, a hip-hop and footwork inflected exploration of subterranan nether, and here we are two years later, still spelunking. Isn’t it nice when analogies hold water for two years?

Listening to Mammoth Cave was like holding your breath. Like being squeezed between the earth and a mountain, between two tremendous bass formants. The bass shudder and pitch-shifted growl were built within the framework of dance music, but acted less as an invitation to move and more a reminder that gravity’s got us always falling and that we may as well prostrate ourselves and feel the earth rushing up.

That gravelly, processed vocal and obsession with the low end is still there on OOBYDOOB. The voice pops up almost immediately on “4 What They/Castrol,” but instead of a cavernous plunge, the song pivots into a loping backbeat from drummer Ostry Okerson. A programmed bass twiddles in its upper register with hi-hats all akimbo. It’s a lovely openingup and extension of Adamson’s aesthetic.

We’re inhaling now. We’re exhaling. We’re dancing. The room’s just as dark but the echoes take longer to find their way back. OOBYDOOB sounds surprising and yet still so comfortably contiguous with what came before.

Album high point “Slide USA” begins almost like we’ve stumbled upon a grainy krautrock band with synths right up front. The band’s midway through a

tumble. But then a hushed snare cinches around Adamson’s insistent whisper and lets the whole piece drift away, pulsing.

It glints like the flashes of color on the back of closed eyelids. Adamson handed us a flashlight this time. Maybe hearing that projector wasn’t such a mistake.

Mammoth Cave sounded like Adamson fussing filters solitarily; it sounded shadowy. But OOBYDOOB, with its invigorated brightness, sounds just about as inviting as mysterious clangor from the underground possibly can.

Here, Adamson welcomes all manner of outside voices and sounds. “Out of Body” crests with Oreo Jones and Sirius Blvck rhyming over swamp gas. “Kissin’ in the Dark” finds Tender Evans on a fragmentary refrain, inviting us to ignore hints of motion in the periphery and bob with the beat.

In the end, maybe the cave analogy is a little more than just two years old: Mammoth Cave was Adamson orienting us to the back of Plato’s fave cave, the

light behind us so we could only monitor the shadows.

On OOBYDOOB we’re down just as deep, but we’re turned around to watch the fire’s high-noon flicker.

The whole of this record is a tense windup preceding the sounds of slinking back to the shadows. Album closer “Blimp” starts with scratchy synth and forward motion borrowed from halftime techno before it dissipates in layers of delay-soaked vocals, smoking upward through cave wall cracks. Keep your eyes on the fire. There are friends around. It’s okay to dance. Sing it with me. n

WORDS FROM THE POPE

t 25, Pope Adrian Bless has amassed an impressive discography of mixtapes, albums and singles. He’s also shined on collaborations with local luminaries like Sirius Blvck and internationally respected underground fixtures like Afu-Ra, Akrobatic, Apani B and C-Rayz Walz. For years Bless has been closely associated with the true school, boom bap sound of classic underground hip-hop. But recent work has found the MC branching out to embrace more contemporary sounds, like the disorienting ethereal swirl of cloud rap.

That shift in Bless’ sound is fully evident on his new EP Suicide Radio, which tells the story of a young man on the losing end of a struggle with mental illness. The character abuses prescription medications to cope with his pain, but is ultimately unable to ward off the selfdestructive impulses brought on by his condition. “High up off some shit I can’t pronounce, I’m on the road all alone and I just poured an ounce. I treat depression like the weekend when you see a nigga.

Depression got me geeking. My bipolar keep me turnt up, but I’m just sad,” Bless raps over the somber chorus of the EP’s first single “Green Apple Gatorade.”

It’s a story that closely mirrors the conditions of Bless’ own life. The rapper has frequently addressed his own personal battles with mental health in the lyrics of his music. Talking about Black mental health has become a sort of calling for Bless, who told me, “I take pride in letting people know that I have a problem, because I want people to know their problems aren’t bigger than them.” Bless spoke at length on this topic during a recent two-hour conversation I shared with the MC. Find the rest on NUVO.net.

NUVO: Pope, you have a dynamic style as an MC. You write thoughtful lyrics.

You’re a charismatic performer and an exceptional freestyler. You’re capable of spitting out impressive, tongue-twisting, rapid-fire flows. I know a lot of your peers in hip-hop respect the artistry of your craft, and the hard work you’ve put into cultivating your talents and studying the history and tradition of hip-hop culture. At 25 years old, you’re still a relatively young dude. But you represent that golden era hip-hop style and that ethic of putting everything you have into perfecting your lyrics and your delivery.

However, we’re currently living in the era of mumble rap. Critics of this style would say the attention to lyrical artistry

and the refined vocal techniques of classic hip-hop MCing aren’t really valued by mumble rappers and their audience. I’m curious where you see yourself fitting in with all the stylistic shifts and changes happening in rap music.

POPE ADRIAN BLESS: The reality is that it’s not at an attempt to fit in. Dude, I wear gold teeth! I look very trapped out. [laughs] You would think I would be a trap rapper.

But it’s like this — my goal is to plant a seed of some kind. I can’t mumble rap to save my life. I don’t know how to do it. I don’t know what it requires. Then there’s also a thing called cloud rap. I will never be able to fit in to that dynamic, because at the end of the day I won’t follow along with such guidelines and structures, because that’s a here today, gone tomorrow kind of thing.

This may be getting too deep, but a lot of things didn’t get passed down the way they were supposed to be passed down. You

The first rap song I recall watching on BET was Slimm Calhoun’s “The Cut Song.” I didn’t even know what cutting was, but it was such a great record because it was structured well. But even then, you’d still have Nas’ “One Mic” come on, or “My Block” by Scarface.

Of the tour, Andrew says: “The current climate in America isn’t always aiding us in how to best grapple with the fundamental complexities of being who we are — being at our best. During this 50 state odyssey, we aren’t looking for a specific stance on any particular political issue. Instead, we’re looking to fortify the foundation of our spirit, so that we can each follow our individual destiny and pursue our own personal exploration of life as best we can. We are uniting around what we have in common — our shared humanity. This tour is a coming together for the sake of partying together.

SAVAGELOVE

NO AARONS OR ERINS FOR YOU I am a bi man in my late 20s in a poly relationship. My primary partner’s name is Erin. One of the rules she mandated is that I cannot date anyone else named Aaron or Erin. She thinks it would be confusing and awkward. Since those are fairly common names, I have had to reject other Aarons/Erins several times over the last couple of years. My name is very uncommon, so she doesn’t have to worry about this on her side. Overall, it seems like a superficial reason to have to reject someone. Is there any sort of compromise here? We haven’t been able to think of any work-arounds.

onstrated this summer.) So here’s my suggested work-around, NAME: Your primary partner stops being a ridiculous control queen.

But just in case you want a second opinion…

“This poor woman wants to make sure that when her lover cries out her name, he really means her,” said Dossie Easton, co-author of The Ethical Slut: A Practical Guide to Polyamory, Open Relationships & Other Adventures. “I can understand this, but I’m wondering if there could be a work-around with nicknames — actually, that could get kind of sexy. ‘Hey, Bear!

— NOT ALLOWED MULTIPLE ERINS

DAN SAVAGE: I can’t count the number of gay couples I’ve met over the years where both men or both women had the same first name. Okay, okay, it’s not a parallel circumstance, I realize. But having a hard-and-fast/deal-breaky rule about names — “I can’t date someone named Dan, you can’t date someone named Erin, my ideal has always been to love someone of the name of Ernest”— strikes me as silly and reductive. We are not our names, and our names are not ours. (I am not the only Dan Savage out there, nor am I the only Dan Savage capable of giving decent sex advice, as my substitute Dan Savages ably dem-

Your primary partner needs to get over it.

Gimme a hug.’ ‘Ooh, Tiger, you are so fierce tonight!’ In all seriousness, many lovers have very personal nicknames for each other, and perhaps that would make the ‘Aaron/Erin’ problem manageable.”

Would you like a third opinion?

“It sounds like Erin has that most common of polyamorous fears: the fear of being lost in the crowd,” said Franklin Veaux, co-author of More Than Two: A Practical

Guide to Ethical Polyamory. “Some folks deal with this by passing rules against taking a date to a favorite restaurant or forbidding certain pet names. It sounds like Erin is dealing with her fear by saying, ‘Don’t date any more Erins.’ The problem is that names don’t make you unique. Erin isn’t special in NAME’s eyes because of her name. But sometimes putting words on a fear is the first step toward eliminating it. She says dating another Erin would be ‘confusing and awkward.’ What does that mean? What are Erin’s concerns? If it’s only feeling awkward, well, being an adult means feeling awkward sometimes!”

To recap: Your primary partner needs to get over it (Dan’s advice), your primary partner might be mollified if you swore to use only pet names for other Aarons/ Erins (Dossie’s advice), keep talking and maybe your primary partner will get over it (Franklin’s advice). All in all, our expert panel doesn’t have a lot of sympathy for your primary partner’s position. So in the interest of fairness, I’m going to offer a defense of Erin’s position.

It’s not uncommon for people in open

relationships to insist on a rule that seems arbitrary, even capricious, to their partners. I call these rules “Brown M&Ms,” a reference to 1980s hair rock band Van Halen. The band’s touring contract stipulated that bowls of M&Ms be set out backstage with all the brown M&Ms removed. To see if their contract had been followed to the letter — a contract that included a lot of technical requirements for their elaborate and potentially dangerous stage shows — all the band had to do was glance at those bowls of M&Ms. If a local promoter couldn’t be trusted to get something simple and seemingly arbitrary right, they couldn’t be trusted to get the bigger stuff right. And if the promoter didn’t get the big stuff right, it wasn’t safe for the band to perform.

Arbitrary rules in open relationships are like Van Halen’s brown M&Ms: a quick way to check if you’re safe. If your partner can’t be trusted to not sleep with someone else in your bed, not take someone else to a favorite restaurant, not use your favorite/special/beloved sex toys with someone else, etc., perhaps they can’t be trusted to get the big things right — like ensuring your physical and emotional safety and/or primacy. So, NAME, if obeying a rule that seems silly and arbitrary makes your partner feel safe to “perform,” i.e., secure enough to be in an open/poly relationship with you, then obeying their seemingly silly rule is the price of admission. n Question? mail@savagelove.com Online: nuvo.net/savagelove

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Now and then you display an excessive egotism that pushes people away.

But during the next six weeks you will have an excellent chance to shed some of that tendency, even as you build more of the healthy pride that attracts help and support.

So be alert for a steady flow of intuitions that will instruct you on how to elude overconfidence and instead cultivate more of the warm, radiant charisma that is your birthright. You came here to planet Earth not just to show off your bright beauty, but also to wield it as a source of inspiration and motivation for those whose lives you touch.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “How often I found where I should be going only by setting out for somewhere else,” said inventor Buckminster Fuller. I don’t fully endorse that perspective. For example, when I said goodbye to North Carolina with the intention to make Northern California my new home, Northern California is exactly where I ended up and stayed.

Having said that, however, I suspect that the coming months could be one of those times when Fuller’s formula applies to you. Your ultimate destination may turn out to be different from your original plan. But here’s the tricky part: If you do want to eventually be led to the situation that’s right for you, you have to be specific about setting a goal that seems right for now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you were an obscenely rich plutocrat, you might have a pool table on your super yacht. And to ensure that you and your buddies could play pool even in a storm that rocked your boat, you would have a special gyroscopic instrument installed to keep your pool table steady and stable. But I doubt you have such luxury at your disposal.

You’re just not that wealthy or decadent. You could have something even better, however: metaphorical gyroscopes that will keep you steady and stable as you navigate your way through unusual weather. Do you know what I’m referring to? If not, meditate on the three people or influences that might best help you stay grounded. Then make sure you snuggle up close to those people and influences during the next two weeks.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The coming weeks will be a good time to fill your bed with rose petals and sleep with their aroma caressing your dreams. You should also consider the following acts of intimate revolution: listening to sexy spiritual flute music while carrying on scintillating conversations with interesting allies . . . sharing gourmet meals in which you and your sensual companions use your fingers to slowly devour your delectable food . . . dancing naked in semi-darkness as you imagine your happiest possible future. Do you catch my drift, Cancerian? You’re due for a series of appointments with savvy bliss and wild splendor.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “I have always wanted . . . my mouth full of strange sunlight,” writes Leo poet Michael Dickman in his poem “My Honeybee.” In another piece, while describing an outdoor scene from childhood, he innocently asks, “What kind of light is that?” Elsewhere he confesses, “What I want more than anything is to get down on paper what the shining looks like.” In accordance with the astrological omens, Leo, I suggest you follow Dickman’s lead in the coming weeks.

You will receive soulful teachings if you pay special attention to both the qualities of the light you see with your eyes and the inner light that wells up in your heart.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The Passage du Gois is a 2.8-mile causeway that runs between the western French town of Beauvoir-sur-Mer and the island of Noirmoutier in the Atlantic Ocean. It’s only usable twice a day when the tide goes out, and even then for just an hour or two. The rest of the time it’s under water. If you hope to walk or bike or drive

across, you must accommodate yourself to nature’s rhythms. I suspect there’s a metaphorically similar phenomenon in your life, Virgo. To get to where you want to go next, you can’t necessarily travel exactly when you feel like it. The path will be open and available for brief periods. But it *will* be open and available.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Modern toilet paper appeared in 1901, when a company in Green Bay, Wisconsin began to market “sanitary tissue” to the public. The product had a small problem, however. Since the manufacturing process wasn’t perfect, wood chips sometimes remained embedded in the paper. It was not until 1934 that the product was offered as officially “splinter-free.” I mention this, Libra, because I suspect that you are not yet in the splinter-free phase of the promising possibility you’re working on. Keep at it. Hold steady.

Eventually you’ll purge the glitches.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Don’t be someone that searches, finds, and then runs away,” advises novelist Paulo Coelho. I’m tempted to add this caveat: “Don’t be someone that searches, finds, and then runs away -- unless you really do need to run away for a while to get better prepared for the reward you have summoned . . . and then return to fully embrace it.”

After studying the astrological omens, Scorpio, I’m guessing you can benefit from hearing this information.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Go ahead and howl a celebratory “goodbye!” to any triviality that has distracted you from your worthy goals, to any mean little ghost that has shadowed your good intentions, and to any faded fantasy that has clogged up the flow of your psychic energy. I also recommend that you whisper “welcome!” to open secrets that have somehow remained hidden from you, to simple lessons you haven’t been simple enough to learn before now, and to breathtaking escapes you have only recently earned. P.S.: You are authorized to refer to the coming weeks as a watershed.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Musician and visual artist Brian Eno loves to dream up innovative products.

In 2006, he published a DVD called *77 Million Paintings,* which uses technological trickery to generate 77 million different series of images. To watch the entire thing would take 9,000 years. In my opinion, it’s an interesting but gimmicky novelty -- not particularly deep or meaningful. During the next nine months, Capricorn, I suggest that you attempt a far more impressive feat: a richly complex creation that will provide you with growth-inducing value for years to come.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Do you know about the Lords of Shouting? According to Christian and Jewish mythology, they’re a gang of 15.5 million angels that greet each day with vigorous songs of praise and blessing. Most people are too preoccupied with their own mind chatter to pay attention to them, let alone hear their melodious offerings. But I suspect you may be an exception to that rule in the coming weeks.

According to my reading of the astrological omens, you’ll be exceptionally alert for and receptive to glad tidings. You may be able to spot opportunities that others are blind to, including the chants of the Lords of Shouting and many other potential blessings. Take advantage of your aptitude!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Greenland sharks live a long time -- up to 400 years, according to researchers at the University of Copenhagen. The females of the species don’t reach sexual maturity until they’re 150. I wouldn’t normally compare you Pisceans to these creatures, but my reading of the astrological omens suggests that the coming months will be a time when at long last you will reach your full sexual ripeness.

It’s true that you’ve been capable of generating new human beings for quite some time. But your erotic wisdom has lagged behind. Now that’s going to change.

Your ability to harness your libidinous power will soon start to increase. As it does, you’ll gain new access to primal creativity.

Homework: Compare the person you are now with who you were two years ago.
