Golf fans got a preview of this summer’s LIV Golf season-finale tournament at The Club at Chatham Hills May 21. Organizers hosted an oncourse preview at the club with two-time Masters Champion and LIV golfer Bubba Watson.
SPORTS
The tournament at Chatham Hillis Aug. 15-17 will be the regular-season finale as players vie for the 2025 LIV Golf League Individual Champion title.
Watson, who joined the LIV Golf tour in 2022 and is USA Captain of RangeGoats GC, said LIV Golf wants to attract more people to the game.
“We’re entertainers. We’re trying to win a trophy and beat everybody in that field,” he said. “But at the same time we’re trying to get people to love the game of golf, get off video games and go outdoors. (It’s) a dream come true for a place like this. People get behind it; the city gets behind it; and the members get behind it. It’s been fun so far and the hospitality — this is the heart of America and the hospitality has been amazing.”
Westfield Mayor Scott Willis said the tournament will give Westfield worldwide recognition and a financial boost. It is expected to draw as many as 25,000 visitors to the city.
“We’re carving out an international presence of sports here in the little City of Westfield,” he said. “Westfield doesn’t get these opportunities very often. We’re hoping it will be a windfall for the city. We’re estimating $25 million to $30 million in economic development impacts to the city. But I think it’s more about the experience — seeing our kids, our schools and the members at Chatham Hills and residents just being able to be a part of it.”
Willis said the city has worked out a parking strategy to use Grand Park and other areas for parking during the tournament, with shuttle service to the golf course.
Betsy Garfield of Henke Development Group, LLC — the developer at The Club at Chatham Hills — said LIV Golf has created an opportunity for Hoosiers to showcase their facilities and their hospitality.
“When we were first presented with the opportunity, it just seemed like (one) we
couldn’t pass up,” she said. “Professional, elite golf hasn’t been back in Indianapolis for almost a decade. This is a sports town. We rally for sports, all types of sports from young ages here in Westfield all the way to Indianapolis.”
LIV Golf also connected with young golfers at the preview event, inviting players from Westfield High School and Guerin Catholic High School to participate in an on-course clinic with Watson.
WHS senior Jack Harris, 18, is a member of the boys golf team and lives in Chatham Hills. He said the tournament will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
“It’s like a basketball game or a football game, people can come out here and even if they don’t know anything about golf they can enjoy the nice weather that we’re
going to have and see professional golfers interact with the fans out on the course,” he said. “I think everyone is going to love it and more people should come.”
Grounds passes and hospitality packages are on sale at LIVGolf.com, with special discounts available for students, teachers and first responders.
Besides the competition, the tournament also will feature fan engagement activities, interactive experiences, live music and opportunities for local businesses to participate and benefit from the event’s economic impact.
The City of Westfield, Henke Development, Chatham Hills, Hamilton County Tourism and the Indiana Sports Corp. contributed to LIV Golf’s selection of Chatham Hills.

Figures released by the United Way of Central Indiana show 27 percent of Boone County households and 25 percent of Hamilton County households could not afford a basic household budget in 2023.
An analysis of Hoosiers facing financial hardships were recently released by Indiana United Ways and United Way of Central Indiana, in collaboration with research partner United for ALICE, as part of a new report “The State of ALICE in Indiana: 2025 Update on Financial Hardship.”
ALICE is an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. According to the report, ALICE households earn above the federal poverty level but not enough to afford basic costs of housing, child care, food, transportation, health care and technology. ALICE represents workers who are essential to keeping the economy functioning, such as child care providers, nursing assistants, food service workers, cashiers and personal care aides.
According to the report, 7,655 households in Boone County struggle to afford
the basics, an 11 percent increase since 2018, In Hamilton County, the number of households that struggle is 35,456, a 38 percent increase since 2018.
In United Way of Central Indiana’s seven-county service area — Boone, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Marion, Morgan and Putnam — ALICE and poverty remain widespread. According to the report, more than 34 percent of central Indiana households were in poverty or considered ALICE in 2023 — more than 241,000 households.
Statewide, more than 1 million Hoosier households faced financial hardship in 2023.
According to the report, 29 percent of workers in Indiana’s 20 most common jobs — more than one in four — lived in households in 2023 that struggled to get by while often earning incomes too high to qualify for assistance.
While the Federal Poverty Level has long been used as the basis for determining eligibility for public assistance,
The ALICE report shows use of the federal poverty level is an outdated basis for determining eligibility for public assistance. According to the report, the federal
“ALICE are people who get up every day and go to jobs that we, in society, rely on daily. They are the child care providers, grocery store clerks, warehouse workers — the backbone of our community and vital to our state’s economic well-being.”
– DENISE LUSTER, UW OF CENTRAL INDIANA
poverty level “sharply underestimates” the true extent of financial hardship in the nation. For example, in 2023 approximately 12 percent of Hoosier households earned below the federal poverty level, but an additional 26 percent struggled to afford basic expenses. ALICE families often face difficult choices, such as whether to buy food or fill a prescription.
The report also indicates a $25.7 billion in economic activity through tax revenue and consumer spending lost in 2023 because of the percentage of households struggling to afford the basics.
“ALICE are people who get up every day
and go to jobs that we, in society, rely on daily. They are the child care providers, grocery store clerks, warehouse workers — the backbone of our community and vital to our state’s economic well-being. Yet most of these families struggle to afford basics due to barriers beyond their control,” United Way of Central Indiana Chief Strategic Intelligence and Information Officer Denise Luster stated. “The ALICE report gives a voice to those families by providing a true picture of need, why so many households are struggling — and an opportunity for us to support families so they can thrive.”
The ALICE report covers all 92 Indiana counties and shows the financial struggles faced by families living in every type of community — urban, suburban and rural.
“Consistent with United Way’s mission to mobilize communities to action so all can thrive, United Ways will continue to promote efforts in every community where neighbors are helping neighbors day in and day out,” CEO of Indiana United Ways President and CEO Michael Budd stated.

This included fluid communication between Keith and his staff and I at every step of each transaction. His personable approach is reassuring, and he understands the very personal (and sometimes emotional) side of buying, selling and moving. Even after each transaction, Keith and his team followed up with phone calls, texts and emails to inquire about any concerns. I cannot recommend Keith highly enough.”

Hamilton County issues overdose warning — Hamilton County Coroner Jeff Jellison recently issued a public health alert of a spike in overdoses tied to a dangerous street drug known as “KD.” The substance is being laced with heavy-duty bug sprays and is causing severe, life-threatening reactions among users, according to the coroner’s office. The drug is made by spraying high-concentration pyrethroid-based pesticide, often found in products like Raid, onto substances such as marijuana or tobacco. Users then smoke the treated material, resulting in a toxic and unpredictable chemical reaction in the body. Users of KD often exhibit symptoms of inability to walk, speak or breathe properly; catatonic states or unresponsiveness; muscle rigidity and disorientation; and risk of overdose and death even with small doses. Health officials are urging parents, caregivers and community leaders to speak to young people about the dangers of synthetic drugs. Residents should call 911 if someone is exhibiting symptoms of KD overdose.

Property fraud protection — The Hamilton County Recorder’s Office has transitioned to a new, free alert service that provides enhanced protection against property fraud. Property fraud occurs when someone illegally records a fraudulent document — such as a fake deed — making it appear as if they legally own someone else’s property. To help residents, the Hamilton County Recorder’s Office now offers Property Fraud Alert, a free notification service that alerts subscribers any time a document is recorded in their name. This service takes the place of the county’s previous service, Doxpop.com, which means residents who were registered with that service must re-enroll in the new system.

A quiet stretch of the Monon Trail just south of 156th Street offers pedestrians shaded passage past a well-maintained butterfly garden.
But adjacent to the trail is the wooded acreage of a sprawling estate that was once scattered with charred human remains — the victims of a man Hamilton County Coroner Jeff Jellison calls “one of the most prolific serial killers of all time.”
Suspected serial killer Herb Baumeister died by suicide in 1996 after an investigation by law enforcement and an excavation of the wooded area behind his Fox Hollow estate performed by the University of Indianapolis Anthropology and Archaeology Department revealed more than 10,000 charred and crushed human remains, ranging from long bones to fragments as small as fingernails. After the discovery, eight victims were identified. All the original victims went missing after leaving gay bars in downtown Indianapolis.
But after the excavation of remains at Fox Hollow, the case was literally shelved until Jellison reopened the investigation in 2022 at the request of one of the victim’s family members. Jellison said the case lagged from the start because Baumeister was already dead. And, he said, the response from law enforcement 30 years ago is a wrong he intends to right.
“I think this case didn’t get the attention it may have deserved because Herb Baumeister allegedly shot himself,” he said. “Law enforcement didn’t have that boogeyman, that bad guy, to walk into a courtroom — unlike (Jeffrey) Dahmer or (John Wayne) Gacy — so you didn’t get that media attention. The investigation happened, the remains were excavated, there were eight people identified, the suspect is dead, game over. What they said to the family members that had missing people that had not been identified that they believed were victims was, ‘If you want to know, you pay for the DNA testing.’ That is a travesty. Where in this country do we put the burden of proof on a family of a potential homicide victim? You prove it, you pay for it. Damn it, this is Hamilton County. We don’t do things like that. Nowhere should things like that
be done.”
Jellison began a mission to not only identify victims, but to bring the case the attention it deserves. Since the investigation was reactivated, a total of 14 victim profiles have come to light. Ten of the 14 have been identified. Four remain unknown.
Jellison said the case received recognition after a four-part documentary, “The Fox Hollow Murders: Playground of a Serial Killer,” aired on Hulu in February. But, he said, there are still swaths of Hamilton County that have no idea that Westfield had its own killing field.
“The horrors that occurred on that property — not only do we potentially have remains still there, and we’re addressing that and planning for that, but this is Hamilton
County. This is Westfield,” he said. “I think that was the problem with the investigation in the beginning. We weren’t prepared to handle that. You see on the news all the time, you had an active shooter at this place, or you had a guy drive his car into a crowd of people. This is the kind of thing that’s not supposed to happen here. Well, I can say for a fact, it’s not if, it’s when.”
Jellsion said the biggest hurdle to the investigation is time.
“Thirty years have passed. A generation has passed away. Two generations of new people have moved into Westfield,” he said. “They weren’t living here when it happened. The people that were living here, really that is dwindling. So, that’s a challenge for us in the investigation — the mothers and fa-
Hamilton County Coroner Jeff Jellison said he wants to bring closure to the families of the victims at Fox Hollow Farm in the 1990s.
Herb Baumeister died by suicide in 1996 after 10,000 human remains were found on his estate in Westfield. To date, 14 individual victim profiles have been identified, but only 10 victims have been identified.
Identified victims are John Lee Bayer; Jeffrey Allen Jones; Richard Douglas Hamilton Jr.; Allen Lee Living-
ston; Steven Spurlin Hale; Allen Wayne Broussard; Roger Allen Goodlet; Michael Frederick Keirn; Manuel Resendez; and Daniel Thomas Halloran.
All of the victims except Halloran went missing between 1993 and 1995. It is unknown when Halloran was last seen.
Jellison urges anyone with information regarding missing persons potentially connected to the case to contact the Hamilton County Coroner’s Office at 317-770-4415.
thers of these missing people have passed away. The brothers, sisters, cousins, they have moved on to other parts of the country. So, that creates challenges for us when it comes to DNA work or obtaining family reference samples to try to match to these remains.”
The process to identify is tedious. Since 1996, remains have been housed at the University of Indianapolis. They are sent in batches to the Indiana State Police and can contain between 25 and 35 remains at a time. The ISP performs initial DNA work and then makes entries into the Combined DNA Index System, or CODIS, a national database of DNA profiles used by law enforcement in investigations.
If no match is made, the remains move to a private laboratory for additional DNA work and genetic genealogy testing. Jellison said the work has yielded several remains that belong to known victims, but getting a new DNA profile is a waiting game.
In April, the investigation uncovered a new victim — Daniel Thomas Halloran of Indianapolis. Jellison said Halloran was never considered a potential victim, and his identity was confirmed after genetic genealogy was completed. The process indicated Halloran was a “likely” victim, but not enough to make a positive identification. But with the likely match, the coroner’s office was able to track down family members.
“We went to work and we found out his father died of prostate cancer, his mother died of a drug overdose and his brother died of a drug overdose,” Jellison said. “We have no other family. But in conversation with the Marion County Coroner’s Office, because that’s where the mother died, we found that there was a bloodstain card. Those are common when we do autopsies.”
The card contained a blood sample from Halloran’s mother, which was used to identify his remains. The investigation eventually led to a daughter in North Carolina.
“She tells me, ‘I never knew my dad. My parents got divorced. Mom didn’t let me see him. I’ve often wondered about my dad, and I never knew what happened to him other than I was told he was missing.’ So, it was a very interesting identification case,” he
Continued on Page 17

said. “The daughter said, ‘I feel like I finally know my dad, because you’ve given me information on him.’ And that’s the really rewarding thing, in a respectful way for us, is we’re providing families with closure and information.”
Jellison said the coroner’s office has developed a mental health resource for victims’ families.
“These people have sat for 30 years, have no idea what happened to their loved one, thinking that he may have been brutally murdered,” he said. “And then all of a sudden, you get a coroner knocking on your door saying, ‘We found your son, or we found your brother.’ That could be challenging for folks to process that. So, as we’ve built out this investigation team, we identified the need for that mental health component to provide support to those folks.”
Jellison said Halloran’s identification, and the fact that he was not on their radar as a potential victim, spotlights the need to keep the case in the public eye.
“I don’t think that the Westfield community or even the (broader) community really understands the scope of this investigation,” he said. “I think if they knew just how large of a debris field that property is and that this is the second largest investigation of unidentified human remains in this country, second only to the World Trade Center, that right there sums it up. There are a lot of resources devoted to this. We’ve been lucky that we’ve lived off a federal grant to this point to cover the costs of the DNA investigation, and there’s probably been less than $2,000 of local Hamilton County tax dollars spent. Most of that’s been in postage and mailing, DNA swabs and those kinds of things.”
Jellison said the documentary helped bring attention to the case, and that was by design. Jellison said he wanted to provide the victims and their families with a world stage to tell their stories.
“That’s a part of healing, to be able to tell that story publicly. The documentary accomplished that,” he said. “I wanted to bring attention to this case. People need to know what their coroner’s office is doing. We’re tax funded. They need to know that we’re spending resources on this. I think part of that lack of knowledge amongst most people goes back to, we never had that bad guy.”
Jellison said although six new victims have been identified in the past few years, it’s likely just the start.
“We’re at 14 (victims) now, and out of
10,000 remains, we’ve only just begun because we’ve sent 127 pieces of remains for testing,” he said. “So that tells you — and that’s in two years — this investigation has got to find a way to speed up. And just how long is it going to take? Although it’s the statutory duty of the coroner to identify the deceased found in this county, that had not been done for years for 30 years. I’m term limited; I’m in my second year of my first term. In two more years if I’m re-elected, I can serve another four. But what is the next corner that comes through the door going to do? Are they going to carry the torch or just stand back in the corner and decide not to do anything? At some point we’re going to run out of federal money with all the federal cutbacks.”
Jellison said the investigation is a partnership with the Indiana State Police Laboratory, Dr. Krista Latham of the Biology & Anthropology Department at the University of Indianapolis and Othram Inc., a forensic laboratory in Woodlands, Texas that specializes in DNA analysis.
“They don’t get any better than these people,” he said. “But these things cost money. You’re looking at $6,000 to $9,000 per sample depending on the work that needs to be done, and we’ve got 10,000, so that just tells you the price tag we could be looking at and things aren’t going to get any cheaper.”
Jellison said Mark Goodyear — who described himself in the documentary as an acquaintance and survivor of Baumeister — claimed Baumeister killed as many as 56 people. Jellison said if the time comes when all of the remains are identified, he thinks that number will be accurate — if not higher. Although there is no proof that Baumeister had an accomplice, Jellison said it’s the only likely scenario.
“There’s no way anyone could convince me that Baumeister didn’t have help,” he said. “If you come into my office and you see the size of some of my deputies, they can’t pick somebody up by themselves. That’s why we respond with two people to every scene.”
Jellison said his goal is to have every piece of charred remains identified.
“And to get them to a proper final resting place, that’s part of this investigation,” he said. “I’ll never see it in my career, but one day I would love for those boxes to be empty and we can say, ‘We’re done.’”

Nick Feldman is eager to share Wang Chung hits with other 1980s bands.
Wang Chung is part of the “I Want My ’80’s Tour” with Rick Springfield, John Waite and Paul Young, which will perform a 7:30 p.m. June 17 concert at Fishers Event Center.
“We know Paul from way back and have toured with him a few times,” said Feldman, who plays bass guitar and keyboards for Wang Chung. “His music fits in nicely with ours. We’ve never worked with John Waite and Rick Springfield before, but we’re excited to play with them and for their audiences. Hopefully, we’ll pick up some new fans that maybe haven’t seen us before. But we feel the musical spectrum of these bands fit really well together. I think it’s going to be a nice musical experience for the audience.”
Feldman said there should be time to play their biggest hits and a couple of other songs.
“We’re quite adaptable,” said Feldman, whose band typically plays a 90-minute set when it headlines a show.
Feldman and Jack Hues, the lead singer and guitarist, formed Wang Chung in 1980 along with Darren Costin, who left in 1984 to pursue a solo career.
Feldman said the band was fortunate to be signed by Geffen Records.
“They were clearly motivated to help us be successful in America because we’re a U.K. band,” he said. “That tied in with the British Invasion, so a lot of English bands started to get traction in America and around the world, largely because of MTV. The advent of MTV was a huge help to bands like us. When we started touring in America, we would be recognized in some of the most out-of-the-way places. It kind of blew our minds.”
Feldman said the U.K. bands at the time were making slightly more quirky videos,
so that helped. He also said the band was open-minded about mixing and using the musical technology that was developing.
“It’s a combination of our traditional musicianship and the fact we like to write good songs,” he said. “The melodies are memorable. I think that’s helpful in songs enduring beyond the ‘80s to now.”
After some breaks through the years, Feldman said Wang Chung has been touring regularly since 2009.
“I worked for record companies and worked for the TV show, ‘The Voice,’ Feldman said. “Jack did some solo stuff. We’ve been on the road, playing for bigger and bigger audiences, not just in the States but all over the place. This year, for example, we’re touring America and Mexico. Apart from when the (COVID-19) pandemic was raging when we couldn’t tour for a couple of years, we’ve been touring a lot.”
A retrospective compilation, ‘Clear Light/Dark Matter’ via SING, was released May 9. It includes Wang Chung’s biggest
hits, “Dance Hall Days,” “Everybody Have Fun Tonight,” “Let’s Go,” “To Live and Die in L.A.,” “Hypnotize Me” and “Fire In The Twilight.”
“It’s a walkthrough of what we’ve done over the years,” Feldman said. “It’s all the hits and some deeper cuts as well that people may be less familiar with. It’s got some rarities and unreleased stuff. For instance, the original demo for ‘Dance Hall Days’ is on there. You can see the origins of that particular song. It’s all been remastered and sounds great. It’s a really fresh take on our history. It sort of ties in with what we’re doing, touring in support of it. We’ve also repurposed and remixed ‘Everybody Have Fun Tonight,’ so that’s on it as well. There are songs we only recorded live, which (listeners) wouldn’t have heard unless they were at the concert.”
“Clear Light/Dark Matter” is available on CD, digital and a double set on black or white vinyl.

Doug Wilson has a lifelong love affair with The Beatles.
“I saw The Beatles live when I was 9 years old (in 1964) at the Coliseum (at the Indiana State Fairgrounds),” he said. “I’ve been to Liverpool twice in the last two years.”
Wilson is the drummer for the cover band 45RPM, which will perform at 7 p.m. June 21 in the Summer Music Festival at Clay Terrace in Carmel. Barometer Soup, a Jimmy Buffett tribute band, will perform between 5 and 6:45 p.m. on the main stage. The oneday celebration will take place at the Village Green near Dick’s Sporting Goods. Clay Terrace, which has a 14-year concert series tradition, shifts to a concentrated one-day music festival format as it makes room for redevelopment plans.
Although heavy on Beatles songs, Willson said the entire band has a love for the British Invasion era of rock ‘n’ roll.
“We’re all of the age that it played a very important part in our youth,” Wilson said. “We still think it was the greatest music
ever put out. Our goal is to recreate the records as closely as possible. We don’t do (new) arrangements on anything.”
Wilson, a southside Indianapolis resident, said the band also specializes in one-hit wonders.
“Not everything we do is by British bands. We do stuff by The Beach Boys, The Turtles, The Lovin’ Spoonful, The Monkees and The Mamas & the Papas,” he said. “We know well over 100 songs at this point.”
The band has performed together since 2014. Keyboardist/guitarist Mik Hideg is from Fishers and lead guitarist Richard Breedon is from the north side of Indianapolis.

The mission of Red Barn Summer Theatre’s season is simple.
PERFORMANCES
“It’s a chance for people to get away from the drama of the world and just have a good time,” Red Barn Artistic Director Michael Taylor said.
The season at the Frankfort venue opens with “Leading Ladies” June 11-15 and 18-22, followed by “The Cottage” June 25-29 and July 2-6, and “Xanadu” July 10-13 and 16-20.
direct “Leading Ladies” and “Xanadu,” a musical comedy, and will act in “The Cottage” while associate artistic director Luke McLaughlin directs.
“Leading Ladies” was written by Ken Ludwig, who also wrote “Lend Me a Tenor,” which Taylor previously directed at Red Barn.
Taylor
“It’s going to be very light and a lot of fun,” Taylor said. “They’re all comedies but they all have a different feel to them. So, if someone comes to each show, they’re going to get a different experience.”
All three shows are making their debut at Red Barn.
Taylor helped present “Xanadu” several years ago at Frankfort High School. He will
“It’s a very challenging show, which is why people steer away from it sometimes,” Taylor said.
“They play Shakespearean performers but it’s not a Shakespeare show in any way whatsoever. It’s set in the 1950s.”
The plot centers on two struggling English actors, Leo and Jack, who disguise themselves as Maxine and Stephanie to claim an old American lady’s fortune. McLaughlin plays Jack and Xander Haan portrays Leo.
“Ludwig is a great writer,” Taylor said. “He has great dialogue. He has great timing.”

Amber Roth was convinced this was the perfect play for young audiences.
Roth saw her Ball State University mentor Michael Dane direct “This Girl Laughs, This Girl Cries, This Girl Does Nothing” in his final play at BSU.
“I thought this was a great time for students in the (age) range of 12 to 18 to learn how to explore and expand their creativity,” Roth said. “They get to play various characters, whether that is playing a Viking, getting to be an animal and use puppets.”
Roth, an Indianapolis resident, is the director for the Carmel Community Players Rising Star production for younger performers June 13-22 at The Cat, 254 Veterans Way, Carmel.
Sydney Weitz, who will be a sophomore at Carmel High School in August, plays Albienne in the play.
“The show is about three sisters who, after the death of their mother, go on different paths in life and end up dealing with

their trauma in their own unique ways,”
Weitz said. “Each sister has a different approach to life — one cries, one laughs and one chooses to do nothing.”
Roth said the play begins when the triplets are 10 years old and ends when they are 31.
Carmel resident Vivienne Thibodeau, a homeschooled student who will be an eighth-grader, plays Carmen.
“I feel like I also relate because I love to be in the woods and love animals and that kind of thing, and I’m more quiet,” Thibodeau said.
Maile Alpizar, who will be a sophomore at Westfield High School, plays Beatrix.
