Homeowner warns of contractor scams
By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com
Tanya Gilbert is well aware of the prevalence of online scams. So, when she needed a deck railing installed at a home she rents out, she took steps to ensure the contractors who responded to her Nextdoor post about the project were legitimate.
Two of them took her money and failed to do the work, anyway, she said, consecutively.
Now, the Carmel resident is speaking out to alert others of the lengths some bad actors will go to appear trustworthy online.
“I’m a little embarrassed to share, but I also know this can happen to anyone,” Gilbert said.
Gilbert, 42, reported both contractors to the Carmel Police Department, and as of April 13 charges had been filed against one of them. CPD said the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office is reviewing the other case to determine if charges will be filed.
CONFIRMED AND TRUSTED?
Gilbert began communicating with Anthony Golden, owner of Golden Scape Logistics, in November 2025 when he sent her a message through Nextdoor expressing interest in installing the rail.
Golden had created a Nextdoor profile page for his business, which the neighborhood social networking site verified as “confirmed and trusted.” However, Golden Scape Logistics does not appear as a registered business through the Indiana Secretary of State’s online portal. After weeks of texts back and forth about the project, Gilbert paid Golden $300 up front, approximately half the project cost, to begin the work. However, Golden continually failed to show up and offered excuses for the delays, ranging from a flat tire to fog keeping his kids out of school, according to Gilbert. Soon, Gilbert told Golden she no longer wanted to work with him and
requested her money back. He didn’t return it, so Gilbert filed a complaint with CPD. In March, the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office charged Golden with fraud and theft. The warrant for his arrest remains active.
Golden did not respond to requests for comment.
‘MUCH MORE CONNIVING’
After moving on from Golden, Gilbert was on the clock to get the railing project done before a tenant moved in, but she wanted to avoid becoming the victim of another scam.
So, she felt reassured when another contractor who responded on Nextdoor discussed the project with her through FaceTime video chat, sent photos of his workshop and said he used Cash App, a payment app that made refunds easy if something went wrong.
“He name-dropped a couple of people that we both knew,” Gilbert said. “He was much more conniving and good at getting my trust.”
After Gilbert paid the contractor $373 up front for supplies, she began noticing a familiar pattern of delays and excuses. So, she went into the app to ask for a refund but received a message that her request was denied.
Gilbert didn’t receive any of her funds back until April 14, when the contractor sent her $100 and said he intended to return the rest.
The partial refund came less than half
an hour after Current left a voicemail with the contractor seeking comment for this story (Gilbert said she also reached out to him around the same time to request repayment again). He did not return Current’s message.
PREVENTIVE STEPS
Capt. Marius Klyyken of the Zionsville Police Department said the kind of scams experienced by Gilbert are frequently reported around the state, though “nothing out of the ordinary” has happened locally.
According to the Better Business Bureau, a nonprofit that provides business ratings and tracks scams, red flags include requests for full payment or large deposits up front (especially in cash, gift cards, wire transfers or payment apps), high-pressure tactics, refusal to provide a written estimate and an inability or unwillingness to show proof of licensing or insurance.
“Scammers and bad actors often rely on obscurity and urgency to take advantage of homeowners,” said Trinity Rairdon, Central Indiana BBB compliance and trust strategist.
Those who have been victimized by a scam are encouraged to report it to local law enforcement and the BBB Scam Tracker, save as many related documents and photos as possible and monitor bank and credit accounts if personal or financial information has been shared.

Grocery store plan OK’d
By Spencer Durham spencer@youarecurrent.com
After more than a decade of talks, a plan is in place for a grocery store at The Farm in Zionsville.
The Zionsville Plan Commission ap proved a development plan April 20 for a 26,000-square-foot grocery store at the mixed-use campus at U.S. 421 and Sycamore Street. It will be built along Pittman Farms Drive.
The proposal underwent significant changes since first introduced in 2013. The square footage is dramatically less than the initial proposal of 60,000. There is one loading bay instead of multiple, and deliveries will be on the east side of the store instead of the south.
“I think this is a great fit for the location,” Commission Member Josh Fedor said.
The commission unanimously approved the development plan.
Steve Pittman of Pittman Investors, the developer of the project, said the store will create 60 to 80 permanent jobs with competitive wages.
The store itself will have a design meant to fit that of Zionsville and The Farm campus with limestone, wood and natural tone stucco aesthetics.
“We’re not allowing any company
their traditional corporate architecture,” Pittman said.
Store hours will be from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. It is unclear what company will occupy the to-be built grocery store.
The project received some pushback from the Timber Ridge Homeowners Association, which is south of The Farm, citing traffic and noise concerns. The group requested the project be continued to the May 18 plan commission meeting under the commission’s remonstrator rules. The request was denied.
Pittman said noise will be mitigated based on the location of the loading bay and an 8-foot wall. Deliveries are expected to occur three times a week.
“There is no better way to buffer what we’re all doing,” he said.
Road project begins
By Spencer Durham spencer@youarecurrent.com
A four-way stop in rural Lebanon will be turned into a roundabout this summer.
The intersection of 400 East and 100 South was set to close the week of April 27 for the construction of a single-lane roundabout. The project is meant to improve safety at the rural intersection that has experienced “explosive growth” in traffic volume in recent years, according to Boone County Administrator Nick Parr.
“Over the years, there have been several severe, high-speed, right-angle collisions which have resulted in injuries and fatalities,” Parr said via email.
The intersection was converted into a four-way stop but continued growth necessitated a new traffic pattern.
The $1.8 million project is funded primarily by highway safety improvement federal funds. The county was awarded
Expanding Cancer Care in Brownsburg.
funding in 2021. The county is only spending $187,799 of its own funds on construction.
There will be curbed islands, gutters and improved drainage. Existing pavement will be reconstructed. There is also a 30-day period for utility relocation work.
The intersection will be closed for the entirety of the project. The recommended detour route is 300 East, Ind. 32 and 500 East.
At Hendricks Regional Health, we’re committed to meeting our community’s needs today and anticipating tomorrow’s. We are proud to announce the opening of our new Hendricks Oncology and Infusion Therapy & Oncology Infusion Center at Brownsburg Hospital.

HMMPL launches Imagination Library
By Spencer Durham spencer@youarecurrent.com
Children ages 0 to 5 in Zionsville and Whitestown can now have books mailed directly to their home thanks to a new program through Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library.
HMMPL launched the Dolly Parton Imagination Library last month. The monthly program mails books to children until they reach kindergarten.
“It’s a nice partnership to have, and a wonderful opportunity for kids to get books in their homes,” HMMPL Executive Director Kristin Shelley said.
The books are meant to help prepare children for kindergarten. The program is free for families and available to any child who lives in the library’s service area.
“These books will help them build early literacy skills,” Shelley said.
Shelley said Zionsville and Whitestown are the last two ZIP codes in the state to join the Imagination Library.
“We wanted to make sure we had the funding in place,” Shelley said.
Cost is $26 per child. The library covers half the amount, while the Indiana State Library, which administers the program, provides the other half.
The Zionsville Rotary and Century clubs and CenterPoint Energy donated funds to the library for the program.
Nearly 600 children had signed up for the program as of April 23.
“We want people to sign up,” she said.

Boot brushes put in parks
news@youarecurrent.com
Boone County Invasives Cooperative has installed two boot brushes in Zionsville parks to help prevent the spread of invasive plants.
Boot brush stations can be found at the main entrance of Turkeyfoot Nature Park and Starkey Nature Park. The brushes act to remove seeds from invasive plants from one’s footwear. Park visitors are encouraged to use them before and after using the parks. Using a boot brush can reduce the spread of invasive species like garlic mustard and lesser celandine.
The boot brush project is part of the Beautify Boone initiative. Another station will be installed later this year at the trailhead behind the Whitestown branch of Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library by Scouting America Troop 1507.
The boot brush station at Turkeyfoot Park was installed by local residents Terry McCain and Mike Howenstein who also developed the design specifications, constructed the station and donated the materials.

The Starkey Park station was installed by Girl Scout Troop 490 which built the station with materials funded by the Boone County Soil and Water Conservation District with construction and installation help by McCain and Howenstein.
The Boone County Invasives Cooperative began their boot-brush station initiative in 2025 with the installation of the first station in Pleasant Acres Park in Jamestown.
Boone County Invasives Cooperative is a nonprofit made up of volunteers who are dedicated to reducing the economic and environmental impact caused by the spread of invasive plants and animals.
Town celebrates tree honor
news@youarecurrent.com
The Arbor Day Foundation has recognized Zionsville as a Tree City USA for the 25th consecutive year for its commitment to preserving and enhancing its urban forest.
To receive the designation, Zionsville met the program’s four core standards: a functioning tree board (Zionsville Tree Board), a tree care ordinance, an annual forestry budget of at least $2 per capita and an Arbor Day proclamation.
The Town’s forestry efforts are supported by the Department of Public Works and Parks and Recreation Department, which collectively planted more than 52 new street trees and 134 additional trees along town properties and public rights-of-way in 2025. Crews also pruned 36 trees for health and safety and removed 36 dead or failing trees from public rights-of-way, with an additional 10 removed within parks through routine maintenance.
The parks department also partnered with students, volunteers, contractors and the Zionsville Parks Foundation to plant 1,143 new trees throughout the

park system. Dozens of acres of invasive species were cleared, laying the groundwork for future restoration and reforestation efforts across parks and trails.
The Zionsville Tree Board contributed more than 300 volunteer hours last year. Work included hosting a booth at Greenfest, distributing native tree saplings, leading community education initiatives and maintaining a recommended tree species list to guide residents.
It’s estimated community members contributed approximately 903 hours of volunteer service.

Neff settles in as chief executive of 500 Festival
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
In Indianapolis, the month of May is simply special.
“It’s like our December for a lot of other states,” 500 Festival CEO and President Dave Neff said. “It’s sort of our best month of the year given all the excitement and buzz, and obviously we’re a big part of that in collaboration with Indianapolis Motor Speedway and now IMS museum.”
Neff started his roles Jan. 1, replacing Bob Bryant, who retired. Neff had spent the previous two years as the CEO of Boilermaker Alliance, Purdue University’s NIL collective.
Neff started his career in 2007 at Pacers Sports & Entertainment. He then worked for ExactTarget, which was purchased by Salesforce in 2013.
“These are the types of roles that don’t come along very often,” he said. “My predecessor was in the seat for 12 years, and believe it or not, this is our 70th year as an organization. We were started in 1957 after four civic leaders had gone down to the Kentucky Der-
by in 1956 and saw what they started with the Kentucky Derby Festival. So, (they) kind of brought that idea back to Indy. To be the fifth leader in a 70year span is pretty special.”
Neff, who grew up on the northeast side of Indianapolis and graduated from Heritage Christian High School, said he understands the significance of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Indy 500 to the state’s identity.
Neff studied sports administration at Ball State University
Princess in 2007, so I remember going to the race that year,” he said.
While Neff was with ExactTarget, it sponsored three Andretti drivers, starting in 2011.
“I’ve worked in the (sports administration) space, so to combine that with my love and passion for this community (is rewarding), because we’re really a community organization,” he said. “It’s just a perfect marriage, and so I’m thrilled and grateful to be here.”
Neff said his parents took him to a few 500 Festival Parades when he was younger. He and his wife, Joelle, have taken their four young children the past few years.
“My little sister was a 500 Festival
“I was our global sports marketing manager,” he said. “So, I managed our partnership and how we measure our ROI from that (sponsorship money) with Andretti. I went to eight IndyCar races in 2012, and we would bring our clients and prospects. I really got kind of immersed in it from that side of being in the pits, the garages and the paddocks. From that vantage point, it’s a pretty special way to get an inside look at how IndyCar ticks.”
Neff said the biggest challenge was meeting all the stakeholders.
There is a staff of 18 and 12 full-time interns who are with the 500 Festival from January through May. There are two boards of directors. The Festival board has 33 members and the Foundation board has 20. In addition, there are corporate sponsors, other civic partners and public safety groups.
“We’ve got a lot of different groups that are supporting the way that we do,” he said. “Then beyond that, we’ve got about 2,300 volunteers.”
Neff said the education program reaches a third of all fourth-graders in the state.
“We’ve got about 20,000 students participating in the Kids Fit program,” he said. “We’re making sure people are aware and they can plug in with the festival.”
Neff said there are many 30- to 40year volunteers in key positions.
“Part of my goal is, ‘How do we build that leadership volunteer bench?’” he said. “We need younger generations choosing to volunteer on the start-finish line committee or part of the memorial service we do the Friday before the race. There’s lots of ways for young people, middle age and older people to get involved with us.”
Neff said this is a milestone year for two events. The 50th Mini-Marathon was scheduled for May 2. The 70th 500 Festival Parade is set for May 23, the day before the Indy 500.

Judge to determine if lawsuit was frivolous
By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com
The City of Carmel could be on the hook to pay legal fees for a property owner it sued in September 2025 for using a home as a short-term rental without authorization.
The suit against Zionsville-based XF Property Group was dismissed last month after the state legislature approved House Enrolled Act 1210, a massive bill that included language essentially voiding Carmel’s efforts to prohibit short-term rentals.
XF Property Group claims the suit was frivolous because Carmel’s ordinance prohibiting short-term rentals and other efforts to ban them were never valid in the first place. It is seeking to recover more than $40,000 in legal fees it spent fighting the suit.
“The city began harassing myself and other property owners nearly two years ago,” stated Jonathan Wales, owner of XF Property Group. “The threatening letters continued even after the city was informed by legislative leaders and the state attorney general’s office that their ordinance was invalid. They sued me anyhow.”
A hearing to determine whether Carmel’s suit was frivolous is scheduled for 11 a.m. July 13 in Hamilton County Superior Court 5. If the judge rules against the city, sanctions could include paying XF Property Group’s attorneys fees.
Carmel approved an ordinance regulating short-term rentals on Jan. 8, 2018. Two months later, the state legislature approved House Enrolled Act 1035, which prohibited cities from regulating short-term rentals but only grandfathered in municipalities that had rules in place before Jan. 1, 2018.
According to a brief filed by the city before the lawsuit was dismissed, Carmel’s short-term rental regula-
tions were valid because the city had regulated them prior to 2018 through its Unified Development Ordinance, adopted in 2017. The city claimed shortterm rentals were a form of bed and breakfast, a type of business regulated through the UDO.
The updated language in HEA1210 retroactively changed the definition of a bed and breakfast, thus voiding Carmel’s argument for short-term rental enforcement.
Chris Gibson, managing principal of The Corydon Group, the lead lobbying firm advocating in favor of HEA1035 in 2018, said HEA1210 clarified the legislature’s original intent.
“The language in HEA1210 from the 2026 session, which our firm also helped craft, simply restated existing law from 2018 in the context of a larger bill that contained potentially ambiguous language that could have been construed to undo the 2018 agreement,” Gibson stated. “In the context of the Carmel (short-term rental) ordinance, it is clear to me that the city never met their burden of complying with the Jan. 1, 2018, deadline.”
The City of Carmel did not provide comment for this story before publication.
Wales said he and his wife purchased a home on Concord Lane in 2025 to use as a short-term rental property to generate college savings funds for their two children. He said legal fees fighting the city’s suit have easily eclipsed returns on the investment.
“The fact that the legislature saw the legal gymnastics Carmel was performing to avoid state law and responded by restating the law doesn’t make their lawsuit any less frivolous,” Wales stated. “They’ve now sought to dismiss the matter with us footing the bill. There are several paths by which litigation can continue and we’re doing those now.”

Residents remember chamber’s early years
By Spencer Durham spencer@youarecurrent.com
When local merchants organized to form the Zionsville Chamber of Com merce 65 years ago, they had a clear goal in mind: Promote the town.
“They wanted to spruce up the town,” said Ralph Stacy, who, along with his wife, Jan, owned a number of retail stores in town.
The decision was spurred by the proposed Westlane Shopping Center in Northwest Indianapolis. Stacy re members it well, especially the concern about a large grocery store chain.
A newspaper article announcing the new chamber touted its formation as the key to growth and development in Zionsville.
“They see the function of the cham ber as a uniting force, bringing togeth er all those interested working for the betterment of the community,” the article reads.
One of the chamber’s first initiatives was to bring colonial architecture to downtown as a way to make Zionsville a destination. Stacy said the architec

businesses and people that champion Zionsville causes.
The chamber had a number of fundraisers over the years, including home tours. The Stacys’ home on Second Street was featured twice. A plaque on their house denotes its appearance on the tour. People bought tickets for the weekend tours. Jan Stacy said hundreds of people passed through their home.
“People were interested in the older
homes,” she said.
The chamber would coordinate buses of people from other towns to visit Zionsville, Jan Stacy added. There were also street dances featuring an orchestra or band.
“It was always a lot of fun,” she said. Other fundraisers featured a bathtub and an airhorn. Donna Monday was part of a group of people who raised money for the chamber during an event in 1985. It was simple. Blow the horn, get money.
“We were blowing the air horn as they turned the corner there,” Monday recalled. “And they would give us money. A very sophisticated way to raise money.”
Monday coined the slogan “Zionsville … for a visit or a lifetime” that was once used on marketing materials.
Ralph Stacy said the connections he and Jan made as business owners through the chamber felt personal and helped them get more involved in their community.
“A chamber is good to have in any town,” Jan Stacy said.

ZCHS yearbooks wins national award
By Spencer Durham spencer@youarecurrent.com
The 2025 edition of Zionsville Community High School’s yearbook is a national award winner.
FOLLOW US ON
SOCIAL MEDIA!
“Aerie” was awarded a Silver Crown by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association for the first time in school history. ZCHS was one of 42 schools in the nation, and the only one in Indiana, to receive a Silver or Gold crown from the press association, which is operated by Columbia University and supports student journalists and faculty advisers.
The Crown Awards are among the most prestigious for student publications and are determined based on excellence in design, coverage, writing and photography.
Each edition of “Aerie” has a theme. The 2025 theme was “Now You Know.”
Jaren Peters, who was editor in chief for the yearbook, said the theme was based on conversations with then new principal Karen McDaniel and what students were asking, such as: Who is the homecoming queen? Am I allowed to use ChatGPT? And questions about the high school’s new cellphone policy.
The cover included some of those questions, including why there were dead chickens in the courtyard. The goal was to have students want to pick up the yearbook, read it and find out.
“There’s a lot of consideration and
thought that goes into it,” said Peters, a freshman at Purdue University.
“Now You Know” wasn’t just about questions, though. It also was a nod to the anxieties students face throughout the year, such as finishing a project, passing an AP test, etc., and how it all usually works out in the end.
“At the end of the year, you will be able to have a reflection,” Peters said.
Peters oversaw a staff of 26 students. Most of the staff graduated the year before, leaving Peters as the senior member of the yearbook staff after joining as a junior.
Comments from CSPA on “Aerie” noted the use of color, the breadth of coverage, features on students and teachers new to ZCHS and how the yearbook gave a voice to many students. More than half of ZCHS students are in the yearbook at least three times.
“This was the perfect book to be Zionsville’s first Crown award winner,” said Lauren Wager, ZCHS journalism teacher and student media adviser.
“The ‘Now You Know’ theme, design and storytelling are deeply layered, and it’s wonderful to see the planning and execution of the book pay off for the students that made it happen.”
Yearbook staff were recognized at the April 13 Zionsville school board meeting. They were presented the award at a convention in March at Columbia Universtiy in New York City.

CHECKERED FLAG MOVE
After a career in advertising, local artist paints acrylics of four-time Indy 500 winners
By Spencer Durham spencer@youarecurrent.com
Commercials he helped shape have appeared during the Super Bowl, the Olympics, the NBA Finals and the Academy Awards, but for someone who is relatively new to the area, Vince Cook is still trying to establish himself as an artist in the Indianapolis market.
A series of paintings Cook created depicting the drivers who have won the Indianapolis 500 four times might be what puts him on the local map.
Gook, a self-described car guy, was inspired after looking up how few drivers have achieved the feat: Rick Mears, A.J. Foyt, Al Unser Sr. and Helio Castroneves. He created 36-by-12 inch acrylic paintings of each car. The order is based on the order they achieved the accomplishment. A private buyer commissioned Cook to paint the entire series.
Each painting shows the car in focus. The background is blurred.
“I thought it would be cool to paint the camera effect,” he said.
Cook spent 30 years working for large advertising agencies like Leo Burnett Worldwide and DDB Worldwide serving as creative or artistic director. His clients included McDonald’s, ESPN, Chevrolet and Kellogg’s. Cook said he worked on 200 commercials.
“What I’ve always tried to do in my career is to get into brands I love,” he said. “I’ve been fortunate to work on things I’d love to work on if I wasn’t getting paid.”
Cook, his wife Lori and their kids moved to Zionsville in 2020. Lori is originally from Zionsville. Cook is from St. Louis and has worked all around the world, including New Zealand, Europe, Los Angeles and, most recently, Chicago.
“It was really fun at the time to be in mass market advertising, because you’d be at the bar and say, ‘Hey, that’s my spot (on TV),’” he said.
Cook took up painting again when he moved to Zionsville. The hobby took a back seat during his advertising career. Cook grew up painting, influenced by his father who was a painter himself
small- and medium-sized businesses on marketing.
“I’m kind of an agency of one,” he said.
Cook also painted, “Visors Up,” a series that captures close-up moments of drivers before a race begins. Some drivers are relaxed; others are intensely focused.
“What they do in those moments is very intentional,” Cook said. “I just thought it’s an interesting moment where you get to see their personality come through. For the most part, they’re knights in shining armor, you don’t get to see them.”
but could never pursue it.
Cook studied fine arts in college with the intention of being an illustrator before transitioning to directing.
“I’ve gotten to do a lot of stuff my dad could only dream of,” Cook said.
Now that he’s in a new market, Cook wants to make a name for himself as a creative. His goal is to network and work in the racing industry. Fortunately, he’s in a good town to do so.
For example, not just anywhere can one can meet officials from Arrow Mc-
Claren and Andretti Global while grabbing coffee at a local shop.
“That doesn’t happen anywhere else,” he said. “I’ve met a bunch of people that way.”
It’s working so far. Cook was commissioned by a private buyer to do the Indy 500 paintings. He was scheduled to do a live painting during an Allison Transmission gala May 3.
“It’s trying to apply my skills to a subject I love,” Cook said.
Cook said he’s open to working with

Everwise Credit Union opens on U.S. 421
By Spencer Durham spencer@youarecurrent.com
Zionsville has joined the growing list of communities in the Greater Indianapolis area with an Everwise Credit Union.
The credit union, at 10920 U.S. 421 in Zionsville, is the 19th area branch. The April 21 opening was celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The new branch offers checking and savings accounts, mortgages and home lending, credit cards and consumer loans and wealth management services.
Adam Young, area manager for Everwise, said there was a demand from local customers for a Zionsville branch. There are two branches in Carmel, but neither are on the west side of the city.
“A lot of people were vocalizing it,” Young said.
Young said Everwise offers more personal services and quicker than the typical bank.
Melanie Smith, branch manager for Zionsville, said there are Everwise customers who have moved to town. The new branch adds a level of convenience
for them as well as customers on the west side of Carmel.
“Everybody who comes in says they’re happy to see us,” Smith said. Everwise will have two interactive teller machines, which function as an ATM but also has a live teller option via video during business hours. There is a self-service coin machine in the lobby.
Part of grand opening festivities included a check presentation and donation of $5,000 to Special Olympics Indiana.
The credit union is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to noon Saturday.

Zionsville-based Group 1001 is partnering with competitive eater Joey Chestnut on initiatives to address hunger with Feeding America.
A Westfield resident, Chestnut will visit select Gainbridge Super League markets to help raise awareness about food insecurity and highlight the work of local food banks. The Gainbridge Super League, a Division One professional women’s soccer league, is supported by title sponsor Gainbridge, a Group 1001 company, which launched the Gainbridge Savings Tracker. The initiative donates $99 for every save made during league matches, with a portion of those funds supporting efforts to help end hunger in markets across the league. To date, the Savings Tracker has raised more than $50,000.
food banks, lead gameday activities to collect non-perishable food items and participate in community engagement events designed to drive awareness and action.
The partnership expands Group 1001’s commitment to making an impact in communities across the country. Through 1001 Hours of Impact, the company’s corporate volunteer program, employees have stocked food pantries, packed meal boxes and volunteered for other causes in the communities where they work and live. Since 2021, employees have packed more than 170,000 meals for neighbors facing hunger in Indiana.

Indianapolis Symphonic Choir concert inspired by Whitman’s Civil War poetry
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Walt Whitman’s Civil War poetry examined what happens when a nation turns on itself.
“A Procession Winding Around Me” is a contemporary choral work by U.S. composer Jeffrey Van that is based on Whitman’s poetry. The Indianapolis Symphonic Choir’s “Voices of the Spirit” concert will present Van’s work at 3 p.m. May 17 at Second Presbyterian Church, 7700 N. Meridian St., Indianapolis.
“The work is conceived with the Civil War in mind but there are some parallels to where we find ourselves in contemporary society in a country and in a world where our divisions are quite strong and quite sharp, just as they were in the Civil War,” ISC Artistic Director Eric Stark said.
Van’s work is an arrangement of four Whitman poems for choir and guitar.
“It’s extraordinarily beautiful,” Stark said. “Whitman was deeply affected by the Civil War and spent a number of years interviewing veterans from the war in the Washington, D.C., area after the end of the war. He wrote a whole collection of poetry based on those conversations and what he learned.”
and my jaw was just on the floor,” Stark said of seeing Duarte in rehearsal. “It was just spectacular.”
The concert’s second half features Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s “Requiem.” The piece was unfinished at the time of Mozart’s death, but the ISC will perform the widely respected completion by Harvard scholar Robert Levin.
“Any composer’s Requiem Mass setting is a reflection and kind of a prayer for the dead but also perhaps a hope for us who are left behind,” Stark said.
Stark said Mozart’s piece honors those who have died for their countries.
The first poem is “By the Bivouac’s Fitful Flame.”
“The soldiers’ anxiousness about what’s going to happen is depicted by both words and music,” Stark said.
The second poem, “Beat! Beat! Drums!” is about the savagery of battle.
“The third one is a very haunting reflection of ‘The Battle Past,’” Stark said. “The last one called ‘Recollection’ expresses a longing for coming together after strife.”
Daniel Duarte, a professor at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music, is the guitarist.
“I heard him play for the first time
“But it also calls us to hope for reconciliation and that better days are ahead and that we can find a way to heal our wounds and come together in peace,” he said
Prior to the concert, there will be a “In-Choir-ing Minds” education series event at 7 p.m. May 12 at Butler University’s Lilly Hall, Room 112. Musician Audrey Johnson will lead the free interactive program, “Mine Eyes Have Seen The Glory: Songs & Stories of the American Civil War.”
Johnson’s “Of Thee I Sing” one-woman musical programs present American history using actual historical music.
“We are going to explore the presidential campaign immediately before

Abraham Lincoln’s and we are going to discover ways in which that set the stage for Lincoln to successfully win the presidency in 1860,” she said. “It will help us get the idea of the social and political landscape that was the context for this time.”
Johnson said people often see music as a means to tell stories in song.
“However, I do think so often we find that the songs themselves are the stories and the songs themselves have been the direct driving forces responsible for moving history forward,” she said.
Johnson said the term “Bleeding Kansas” came from a song. Bleeding Kansas describes violent civil confrontations from 1854-59 over whether slavery should be permitted in the proposed state of Kansas .
Johnson said Lincoln used music to boost enlistment for the Union Army.
“A composer named George Root, who would become instrumental time and again as a composer writing for the Union, wrote the song ‘Battle Cry of Freedom,’” Johnson said. “The moment the song was performed it had an immense impact on rallying the hearts and minds of the Union, particularly the men that were of enlistment age.”
A small ISC ensemble will sing with Johnson on many songs.

Geon, a high school junior taking online classes, plays Juliet in Indiana Ballet Conservatory’s production of “Romeo and Juliet,” set for 7 p.m. May 22 and 4 and 7 p.m. May 23 at The Tarkington at Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel
“This ballet has so much acting, which is something I haven’t had to do much of yet,” Geon said. “I’m really enjoying it because I’m able to almost act dead while still dancing. It’s my favorite ballet, so it’s pretty cool to be able to do it.”
ever done for a show, and that is probably the most challenging part of it,” Leinauer said. “It is even more challenging to learn the choreography and have to learn to portray the role of Romeo who is in love with Juliet.”
Geon
Geon played the Sugar Plum Fairy in IBC’s production of “The Nutcracker” in 2024 and 2025.
“I’m used to lighter roles, so it’s cool to get more into acting with more mature themes,” she said.
Westfield High School junior Clara Crane shares the role of Juliet.
Leinauer is in a lead role for the first time.
“So, I think that’s pretty cool,” he said. Fishers resident Thomas Wilcutts plays Mercutio.
“I like that he’s joking and never takes anything serious,” said Wilcutts, an online sophomore. “There’s a long death scene that’s pretty challenging. It took a lot to learn the choreography of that.” Indianapolis resident Colby White plays Lord Capulet, Juliet’s father.
“There’s a lot of acting in it, more acting than ballet,” said White, a sophomore who also takes online classes.
IBC founding Artistic Director Alyona Yakovleva said this is the first time IBC has presented “Romeo and Juliet.”
“Playing Juliet will be challenging, as it requires more acting and emotions than a lot of our previous productions,” Crane said. “It also involves a lot of partnering with different people, so I’ll have to adjust to each person and build good chemistry with each of them.
“Playing Juliet will be challenging, as it requires more acting and emotions than a lot of our previous productions.”

Playing Juliet will be really special because I’ll get to learn new skills and grow as an actor in ways I haven’t before. It also makes it even more meaningful since this is a new production for Indiana Ballet Conservatory, so I get to be part of something new.”
Fishers High School sophomore James Agustus Leinauer plays Romeo.
“There is a lot to learn for the role, and it’s the most choreography I’ve
“We never did it before because it’s very complicated,” she said. “Since it’s our 15th-year anniversary and we have so much talent in the school, I just decided we could put it together. It’s really difficult, so we started work on it in the summer of 2025. It’s challenging, but it’s also extremely beautiful music, and I added a lot of my own choreography because we are including Level 1 and Level 2 dancers, who are 11 and 12 years old. There’s some parts (with) comedy in it and some that are tragic.”
The guest artists are IBC alumni Justin Hamilton, a Carmel resident who attends Indiana University, and Ian Anderson-Conlon from Louisville Ballet.

Ukulele virtuoso’s show set
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Jake Shimabukuro enjoys sharing his love of the ukulele and passion for performing with audiences.
“I love being on stage and connecting with people,” he said. “I see it as an honor and privilege.”
The Hawaiian ukulele virtuoso will perform at 8 p.m. May 8 at the Payne & Mencias Palladium at Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.
“We have some new songs we’ve been throwing in there,” Shimabukuro said. “We do a lot of covers and I’d say it’s 50-50 covers and originals. There’s a lot of recognizable music. which hopefully people enjoy.”
One cover is The Beatles’ “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” which was written by George Harrison.
“Back in 2006, there was a video of me playing it that went viral,” he said. “That really kicked off my touring career. Another one of my favorites is Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody,’ which turns into a sing-along with the
audience.”

His music varies from classical, jazz, rock and blues along with traditional Hawaiian music.
“I love all kinds of music,” Shimabukuro said. “I don’t really have a favorite, but definitely traditional Hawaiian music was the first style of music that I was exposed to and that I fell in love with playing the ukulele with. I love sharing the instrument with people because I think the ukulele is such a friendly instrument. It’s not intimidating and I think that’s what I love. They’re not afraid to pick it up for the first time and try to play it if they’ve never played an instrument before.”

Artists collaborate in series

This will be quite a different experience for Angela Manlove.

Most of my work has been rooted in local community theater, so getting to choose a personally meaningful set and collaborate with artists who are experts in their own art forms is an exciting stretch.”
The northeast Indianapolis resident will be the vocalist for the Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre’s Mélange Series, along with GHDT company dancer Olivia Payton and visual artist Debbie Slack. The performances are at 5 p.m. May 16 and 3 p.m. May 17 at The Florence at the Academy of Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre, 329 Gradle Dr. Carmel.
“I’ve been part of cabarets before, but nothing quite as unique as this,” Manlove said. “An improvisational collaboration featuring a dancer and a visual artist all unfolding in real time is new territory for me, but I have always had a deep appreciation for all forms of art, so I had to say yes when (executive artistic director) Gregory (Hancock) asked me to participate.
Manlove hasn’t had the chance to see the Mélange Series because of scheduling conflicts.
“But I have several theater friends who’ve participated and raved about what a wonderful experience it is,” she said.
Payton, in her sixth season with GHDT, was part of the Mélange Series performance in 2024 with two different artists.
“So, I am so excited to be dancing again with a new vocalist and visual artist,” she said.
“As a dancer, I feel pretty comfortable creating art on the spot and it’s a very exciting challenge for me to flex a different part of my dancer brain.”

Embracing our identity
Commentary by Terry Anker
May has arrived, and with it comes the usual longer and warmer days, the greening of almost everything and the delivery of a fleet of Indianapolis 500 pace cars. The storied event held annually at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, or “The Brickyard,” fields a contingent of 33 drivers and their teams from around the globe, each vying to complete 200 laps around the 2 1/2-mile track before anyone else. The event is widely regarded as one of the largest sporting events on the planet, and anyone who has made the trek to the track knows it is true.
With this running, the race marks its 115th birthday, chronologically (during the World War II years it was not held, making for 110 actual runnings). In more than a century, the event, track, teams and even the drink that drivers use to celebrate, have each become hallowed traditions in their own rite. Those with the most minimal insight are likely to recognize Foyt, Unser, Castroneves
and the Marmon Wasp. Moreover, the very name carries a herald flag for central Indiana across the U.S. and around the world. It is difficult to find oneself in Istanbul, Shanghai, Moscow, Sao Palo or Kigali without encountering those who might not be able to find Indiana on a globe but are eager to acknowledge “the” race.
To many, we are defined by the event. Absent other input, they process their understanding of us with one metric — we like fast, loud cars. There are worse ways to be renowned, and likely better ones, too. But if our own reputations precede us, how are we known? What is the one thing that others see in us from afar, and is it what we’d choose if we could? We may not be the Greatest Spectacle, but are we a spectacle, nonetheless?
Cleaning
Commentary by Dick Wolfsie
I don’t want my wife Mary Ellen and me to end up like our friends the Rodmans, who, up until their 40th wedding anniversary, couldn’t keep their mitts off each other, but after returning from celebrating in the Bahamas, they sued each other for divorce. They were so happy they didn’t realize how miserable they were. My diagnosis was that they had not been upfront and honest about their annoying behaviors.
“They were so happy they didn’t realize how miserable they were. My diagnosis was that they had not been upfront and honest about their annoying behaviors.”
and guzzled it. She wiped the beer that ran down her chin with her sleeve. After turning on the bedroom TV, she clicked on the living room TV so we could hear both sets blaring at once. Then, to nail me on my most annoying habit, she searched every room in the house, pretending she had lost her cellphone. I hated to admit it, but she was me all over.

“I have an idea,” I told my wife. “This evening, I’ll act out all your bad habits, and you can act out all mine. That way, we’ll both get a clearer picture of how much we annoy each other. It will add a little spice to our relationship and reveal which irritating actions we need to work on.”
I jotted down a few of Mary Ellen’s little idiosyncrasies. I didn’t want to overdo it, knowing how challenging it would be for my wife to compile a comparable list. I’m very much the perfect husband.
That night, after I returned from playing pickleball, Mary Ellen walked in from a church meeting. It was her turn to be me. She began by not shutting the door behind her, letting every fly and bug get into the house. She also tracked a lot of mud in on her shoes, but she wiped her feet on the throw rug. Hmm, she was off to a good start. Then she popped open a can of beer
– DICK WOLFSIE
Now, it was my turn to be Mary Ellen. First, I took all the dirty plates and glasses I had left in the sink and put them in the dishwasher, but not before I rearranged the dirty utensils and put them in the proper compartments. Then I turned off all the lights throughout the house that I had left on all day. Next, I swept up all the crumbs on the floor that some slob (me) had forgotten to clean up. I also wiped down the counter because someone hadn’t cleaned up the orange juice he spilled. Yes, my wife has a lot of annoying habits, mostly cleaning up after me.
I asked Mary Ellen if she was OK with my little experiment.
“Oh, yes,” she said. “Let’s do it again next week.”
