Attorney general looks to dissolve nonprofit

By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita has filed a complaint in Hamilton County Superior Court to dissolve Third Phase, a Noblesville-based nonprofit.

The move follows a multiyear investigation into allegations of wasted assets, operational failure and an unethical real estate deal.

Third Phase, 15755 Allisonville Rd., was founded in 1980 as a homeless shelter. It since has expanded to include a food pantry and thrift store and to provide shelter to people leaving incarceration. Third Phase Director Sandra Van Den Berg did not respond to Current’s request for comment.

According to the complaint, the Office of the Attorney General conducted the investigation following complaints from Noblesville residents.

Noblesville resident Karly Alvey, a client advocate who previously worked with Third Phase residents, said the shelter lacked essential case management and programming. Alvey noted that resident treatment was inconsistent; contracts and rent costs varied per person — ranging from $25 weekly to $20 daily — and residents often were told to discard donated food.

A former government employee, Alvey, who declined to identify which government office, reported her concerns to her former boss, who reported it to elected officials, including the deputy mayor, arguing that the shelter provided no path for residents to move forward.

The OAG issued Civil Investigative Demands — administrative subpoenas issued by government agencies — seeking information regarding Third Phase’s operations, finances and compliance with nonprofit regulations.

The OAG’s investigation revealed a lack of corporate structure at Third Phase. According to the complaint, the nonprofit held no board meetings between 2021 and 2025 and operated

without a formal budget or cost-tracking. Furthermore, the organization reported having no volunteers and no employees — other than Van Den Berg — for at least five years.

The investigation also reportedly revealed the organization’s food pantry services had declined, with Third Phase serving 1,000 households in 2021 and 2023 and only 740 in 2024.

After receiving the Civil Investigative Demand, Third Phase retained Mario Massillamany of Massillamany, Jeter, and Carson LLP as legal representation. Board minutes show that during a June 24, 2025, meeting at Massillamany’s office, the board discussed the investigation and began planning to dissolve the nonprofit.

The complaint also reported that Van Den Berg is attempting to sell the Noblesville property below market value. According to the complaint, the OAG received documents from Robert Miller, an attorney at Charitable Allies, which provides legal services for nonprofits and charities, in February 2026. The documents included an appraisal report for the Third Phase property in Noblesville, and a partially signed purchase agreement which indicated the property was going to be sold to MJS Holdings, whose sole member is Massillamany, for $350,000.

The OAG reported that the appraised value of the property was “highly inconsistent” with recent tax appraisal values, saying the most recent tax assessment for 2026 valued the property

at $1,236,900, with the land being valued at $287,800, and the improvements being valued at $949,100. The OAG also commissioned an independent property appraisal, which estimated the property value at $1,007,000.

The complaint states the pending purchase agreement with Massillamany could constitute a conflict of interest and a violation of the Indiana Rules of Professional Conduct.

Massillamany, who also is chair of the Hamilton County Republican Party, said calling the transaction a “low-ball” or “unethical deal” is false, and that he was going to use the property to create a sober living facility for men. He also said the OAG was invited to the property to do a walk through and appraisal, but it never did.

“The (OAG) had the appraisal, the terms and full access to the property,” Massillamany said. “After more than three weeks of silence, I reached out and made one thing clear: I would not move forward without their approval. That was before any lawsuit — and it never changed.”

An office spokesperson for Rokita stated in an email that Massillamany didn’t inform the OAG he would hold the purchase until it was approved.

“He is attempting to cover his tracks after being caught trying to personally and unethically benefit from the lowball sale of his client’s $1 million asset for roughly one-third of its value,” the spokesperson stated in an email.

Massillamany said he believes the lawsuit is the result of a “vendetta” Rokita has against him.

“Instead of engaging on the merits, (Rokita) did what he always does — made a political decision because of my years of criticizing his self-serving conduct,” Massillamany said. “The result is simple: a recovery project is gone, and the community pays the price.”

The Rokita spokesperson stated the OAG filed suit “specifically to stop the real estate sale from proceeding and to preserve the organization’s assets.”

By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com

The Hamilton County Commissioners reviewed bids for bridge rehabilitation projects and approved a road closure at their April 27 meeting.

The next commissioners meeting is at 1:45 p.m. May 11 at the Hamilton County Judicial Center. A technology change will impact livestreaming meetings as the county upgrades and replaces its recording and livestream systems.

County officials encourage in-person attendance. Meeting minutes will be posted on the county website.

 WHAT HAPPENED: The commissioners reviewed bids for bridge rehabilitation projects for the bridge on Hazel Dell Parkway over Cool Creek in Clay Township and the bridge on Cumberland Road over Mud Creek in Delaware Township.

 WHAT IT MEANS: It was the first time using a new service to review bids electronically for a better streamlining process. The commissioners received a $556,300 bid from E&B Pav-

ing and a $931,641.60 bid from RAM Construction Services of Michigan.

 WHAT’S NEXT: The county’s highway department will review the bids and award the project at their next meeting.

COMMUNITY

SRO founds unified performing arts club

By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com

Noblesville Schools School Resource Officer Matt Johnston is no stranger to helping children.

Johnston, who has been an SRO for 22 years, coaches and helped create Unified clubs that bring together people with and without intellectual disabilities at Noblesville Schools. He first became involved when his son joined the high school’s Unified Track and Field team, which he coaches.

“I got a call from the Special Olympics about wanting to pilot another program for IHSSA flag football,” Johnston said. “I wanted to expand from there with other things, too, so I started running the Unified basketball program, and I also started coaching the (Unified) bowling team so they could compete.”

The programs continue to expand, with Unified Cheerleading and Esports now available. Johnson recently established a Unified Performing Arts club at Noblesville High School.

One of our students with special needs plays guitar and another one who was with me in track for years is a very talented singer and performer,” Johnston said.

The group, which had approximately 50 participants, recently performed its first production titled “Disney Parade.” It featured several floats inspired by Disney shows like “Winnie the Pooh,” “Moana” and “High School Musical.”

“I believe that everyone deserves an opportunity to be involved whether that be with sports or drama or whatever it may be, but people need an avenue to make that happen,” Johnston said.

Stormwater rate introduced

By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com

The City of Noblesville is proposing a $6.60 monthly stormwater fee for residents who use the city’s stormwater system but aren’t connected and have no plans to connect to the Noblesville sewer system.

The ordinance was introduced at the April 28 Noblesville Common Council meeting. A vote was not taken. A public hearing on the ordinance will be held at the 6 p.m. council meeting May 12 at City Hall, 16 S. 10th St.

The city collects stormwater fees through sewer fees. City of Noblesville Attorney Jonathan Hughes said there are certain customers who are not required to connect to city sewer because of differing utility districts.

“The most notable of these will be the Wayne Township growth that we’re experiencing, which is in the Hamilton Southeastern utility district based on an (Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission) order that goes back to 1999,”

Hughes said. “Because of that, we have people that are on city stormwater, but we don’t have a rate in place.”

The ordinance would not impact residents on the city’s sewer system but will impact customers who use the city’s stormwater services who have not been paying a stormwater fee.

“This is really driven by the Hamilton Southeastern utilities and Fishers sewer service areas, which are largely in the Wayne Township area as well as the Innovation Mile district,” Hughes said.

“I want to be clear that the city owns an asset in this area known as the (Riverview Health) Arena at Innovation Mile, and it will be impacted by this as well. So, we’re treating everybody the same.”

Noblesville Utilities Director Jonathan Mirgeaux said people who own vacant parcels or agricultural land would not be charged the fee.

Multifamily residential customers, such as those living in condos, also will receive a 30 percent discount.

The Noblesville Board of Works recommended approval of the rate.

Estate gift honors teacher

news@currentnoblesville.com

The Noblesville Youth Assistance Program has received a donation of just over $60,000 from the estate of longtime Noblesville educator Katherine “Kitty” Campbell, honoring her dedication to local students and families.

Campbell passed away April 11, 2025. The donation was presented April 23 by Campbell’s sister, Sally Crow, and brother-in-law, Chuck Crow, in front of North Elementary School, where Campbell spent the majority of her career.

Campbell served as a third-grade teacher at North Elementary and Hinkle Creek Elementary for 34 years. Brandy Egan, an advocate at NYAP, said Campbell was known for her compassion and commitment.

“She believed every child deserved access to essential resources, including a backpack for school, adequate shoes and clothing, and mental health support,” Egan stated.

Egan said Campbell’s values closely mirror the mission of NYAP, which works to support youth and families within the Noblesville Schools district.

NYAP plans to use the funds to ensure that Ms. Campbell’s legacy lives on in lasting ways.

“The funding will be used to support outreaches that directly impact youth and families, such as ensuring access to mental health supports, camps and recreation opportunities, and our annual fall clothing and shoe event which provides children with new clothes and shoes,” Egan stated.

HSHC fundraiser returns

By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com

The Humane Society for Hamilton County will host its first major fundraiser of the year — Wine, Wags & Whiskers — at 6 p.m. May 9 at 502 East Event Centre in Carmel.

According to HSHC Events Manager Jennifer Dant, the fundraiser is critical for support of daily operations.

“As one of the only truly no-kill shelters in Indiana, the funds raised at this event are essential to helping us find forever homes for the thousands of Hamilton County animals who come to us unwanted or in critical condition,” Dant said.

The 21-and-older event will feature wine, food, adoptable animals and ways to support the work of the HSHC. Attendees will have the opportunity to browse and bid on a silent auction, purchase specialty wines featuring adoptable HSHC animals and participate in a “Jackpawt” raffle for $1,250 worth of scratch-offs and $1,250 in retail gift cards.

Anyone can participate in the auction, which is now open online.

HSHC is adding a bourbon toss in addition to a spirits pull.

“We were looking for something different this year to add a little more fun and activity to the event besides just having a wine tasting,” HCHS Director of Marketing Gabbie Hennessey said.

“One of our staff members has seen that in action, and she said it always brought a lot of fun and activity to the event.”

General admission is $95. For reserved seating and access to a VIP Black Cat Club, guests can purchase a half table for four guests for $750 or a full table for eight guests for $1,500.

“These funds are primarily for our survivor program,” Hennessey said.

“We take in animals that haven’t had a second chance. We depend on donations to help with that so we can make sure our animals are given the best care, so they then can succeed, and hopefully be adopted to a loving family.”

Greyhounds softball player finds groove at the plate

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Carmel High School junior second baseman Ellie Goddard’s hitting struggles are a thing of the past.

“In the fall season, I started fixing my swing and I worked really hard in the winter and offseason to make my adjustments,” she said. “I’m really happy with how I’ve been able to perform for my team this spring.”

Through the first 17 softball games, Goddard has a .490 batting average with nine doubles and a team-high 24 RBIs for the Greyhounds (9-8). She hit .283 as a sophomore and .264 in 2024.

“I’ve kind of gained confidence in both sides of the ball,” she said. “Being committed also is a huge thing off my shoulders,” said Goddard, who committed to the University of Pennsylvania in February.

Carmel coach Stephanie Kleiner said Goddard has stopped trying to make things difficult for herself.

“We rely on her for consistency,” Kleiner said. “We don’t need something extraordinary out of her to make our

team better.”

Goddard bats third in the lineup.

“One of the reasons she is there is to move runners,” Kleiner said. “She’s smart and she knows what to do with runners on base. She is helpful in explaining game situations to younger athletes. She’s supportive on and off the field of all her teammates.”

Goddard said a major team goal is to win a sectional game for the first time

since 2022.

“I think year by year we’ve kept getting better,” she said. “We had six freshmen last year and now they are sophomores. I think we are upsetting a

lot of really good teams. I think we have a good shot at sectionals this year.”

Goddard grew up watching her sister, Sarah, play. Sarah is a 2020 CHS graduate who played softball at Duke University.

Goddard began concentrating on softball in middle school.

“I really love softball more than other sports,” she said. “Basketball was my other main sport, and honestly, I’m really short, so I wouldn’t get that far in basketball.”

The 5-foot-4 Goddard said she loves playing with her teammates.

“It’s also a love of the game, and seeing it kind of pay off in games has been really rewarding.” she said.

Academics was the foremost reason Goddard chose Penn.

“I really connected with the players and the coaches,” said Goddard, who plans to major in business. “Coach (Christie) Novatin talked a lot about building their program. The players talked highly about the school and what they were building. I wanted somewhere where I could play and have a successful career after.”

Indy District trooper named Trooper of the Year

northindy@youarecurrent.com

Indianapolis District Trooper William Gigerich recently was named the 2025 Trooper of the Year during a statewide Indiana State Police awards ceremony. Gigerich of Noblesville is a two year veteran of the Indiana State Police, according to a news release. In addition to his patrol duties, he was recently certified as a drug recognition expert, giving him the tools and training to evaluate for drug impairment.

The news release stated that Gigerich represents what it means to be present and proactive.

“Trooper Gigerich has quickly established himself among the veteran troopers at our district,” Indiana State Police Indianapolis District Lt. Josh Watson stated. “His work ethic, job related knowledge, motivation to serve his community and the respect he has earned from his peers is certainly commendable. I am proud of the incredible work he has done — he has undoubtedly saved lives with his efforts.”

“His consistent visible presence and community engagement have directly contributed to deterring criminal activity and enhancing public safety across the district,” the news release stated. “Trooper Gigerich’s proactive approach extends well beyond simply responding to calls for service. He consistently identifies problem areas, addresses unsafe behaviors before they escalate and conducts enforcement actions with a clear focus on public safety, professionalism and integrity.”

As part of his award, Gigerich received a new patrol vehicle.

Each district in the state selects an annual “Trooper of the District,” according to the news release. From that list, the ISP superintendent selects a Trooper of the Year.

New 500 Fest CEO gears up for May in Indy

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.”

had gone down to the Kentucky Derby 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 70-year span is pretty special.”

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

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.

“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

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 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.”

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.

Neff said it helps that he has a strong, experienced team.

“We have three VPs of operations that take (leadership) of our bigger events

that have each been here a decade,” he said. “What I’ve tried to do is jump in and bring some visibility to promotion — amplification of some of our key events.”

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.

CALLED TO CARE

Noblesville resident finds purpose within foster care system

By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com

When Noblesville resident Sarah Michaels saw children in need of stable, safe housing, she decided her own home was the solution.

Michaels began fostering children when she was 23. Now 32, she has cared for more than 50 children, often welcoming four to six at a time.

An Anderson University graduate and 2015 Orr Fellowship alumni, Michaels said working with children during her fellowship inspired her to help at-risk youth. When she became a nurse at Riley Hospital for Children after her fellowship, she turned her interest into action.

“In the pediatric world, I thought (I) would see a lot of happy stories, but I actually saw a lot of children there for abuse and neglect,” Michaels said. “We had several kiddos that were there for weeks on end with nowhere to discharge because they were under the care of the (Indiana Department of Child Services).”

After working at Riley for six months, Michaels wanted to help those kids. When she moved to Noblesville in 2017, she obtained her foster care license.

“My very first placement was a month away from turning 18, and they said she wanted to age out the moment she (turned) 18,” Michaels said. “That teenager stayed for three years. I started with one kiddo, but since Year 2, I don’t think I’ve ever had less than four children in my home at any given time.”

In November 2025, Michaels adopted two of her foster children. She also has guardianship of another and continues to take in foster placements.

“My two youngest boys are 5 and almost 2,” Michaels said. “My 2-year-old has been with me since the day he came home from Riley at his birth, and my other son has been with me since the day he turned one.”

Michaels said her sons have an open relationship with their biological families, saying her goal is to be a cheerleader for the kids and their biological parents.

to her success with Kinetiq Health.

“I’m a big believer in co-parenting throughout the foster journey to make sure they know who’s raising their children, and that we can work together to try to reunify,” Michaels said. “I’ve had more successful reunification processes because of that. I never thought it was going to be part of my story, but I love that I’ve been able to adopt.”

Michaels, a single parent, is now a chief clinical officer at Kinetiq Health, where she works with employer groups to improve member health and transform that impact into measurable cost savings for health plans. Her team of clinicians became the second largest team within the company Apex Benefits before expanding into its own entity and scaling their work nationally.

She recently spoke about her work with Kinetiq Health at the New York Stock Exchange, saying she gets to improve lives at home and at work.

“I was invited to the New York Stock Exchange to talk about how we get to make a difference in people’s lives,” Michaels said. “I feel like that’s a full circle moment of going to school to do nursing and doing Orr Fellowship, and then here I am ten years later getting to do all of these things.”

Michaels credits her work with the foster care system and Orr Fellowship

“All of that leadership growth happened at the same time life got busy with foster care,” Michaels said. “I think it made me a better leader, because foster care teaches you what is a true crisis and how to accomplish things together, and I try to always bring that steady leadership to my team.”

Andrea Hickle, who met Michaels when she worked at Riley, said Michaels’ home and work reflected a level of compassion and dedication that left a lasting impression.

“As I learned more about her journey, particularly her passion for supporting older youth who often face aging out of the system without stable support, I felt called to get involved myself,” Hickle said. “Sarah helped me understand that fostering is about more than opening your home — it’s about building a village around each child and supporting the entire family system.”

National Foster Care Day is May 5, and Michaels encourages the community to explore foster care, especially locally.

“A lot of people don’t realize the need exists within our community,” Michaels said. “I have fostered several youth within our school districts, and there is a huge need. If you’re able to foster local youth, when they’ve been removed

from everything, they’re able to keep their community, friends and their school. It really changes the trajectory of those kids’ lives.”

BANANAS FOSTER

Bananas Foster, a nonprofit of The Savannah Bananas, a traveling exhibition baseball team, celebrates the foster care community while educating and inspiring others to get involved. In 2023, Noblesville resident Sarah Michaels and her family were invited to go behind the scenes with the team for several hours.

“My kids got to do the batting cages and dances with the team and talk to the coaches and players and just listen to how they raise awareness for foster care,” Michaels said. “We then got to go on the field, and that was a special moment.”

Michaels said the group is intentional about their work and still stays in touch and sends birthday cards to her family.

BUSINESS LOCAL

Reiki business set to open

By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com

Indianapolis resident Maria Alequin is opening a holistic wellness business, Angelfire Reiki Healing, inside COhatch at Hamilton Town Center in Noblesville May 23.

“I offer energy healing services, otherwise known as Reiki,” Alequin said. “It is a gentle healing practice that truly allows you to dive deep and connect with yourself and reset your body, mind and spirit. It’s very relaxing, very gentle and noninvasive. I offer those services to create a safe space for people to learn how to connect with themselves again. I feel like the world is so busy, so it’s important to take some time and get in touch with your mind, body and spirit.”

Alequin has been offering mobile Reiki services for about two years.

“I’ll have a massage table set up so (customers) will lay down and basically just relax,” Alequin said. “I use a variety of different intuitive instruments, like

tuning forks, crystals and sage if they’re open to that to cleanse the energy. I hover my hands over my clients and kind of feel where that stagnant energy is. If they’re OK with light touch, I place my hands on different energetic points.”

Session options include a 30-minute energetic reset; a 45-minute deep energetic alignment; a 60-minute sacred soul alignment; and a 30-minute intuitive pendulum session.

Alequin wants to eventually open a larger holistic wellness space.

“I would love to open up a healing center,” she said. “This is the start of it where it’s just me in the studio, but the vision is that I’d love to open a space where we offer different workshops, meditation classes, free dance classes, yoga, reiki classes and sound healing. Basically a giant space where people can connect with every single part of their body and try new ways to explore themselves.”

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.

Carmel resident Emily Geon is exploring a new aspect of performing 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.”

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.

“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.

“There is a lot to learn for the role and it’s the most choreography I’ve 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.”

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.”

“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.

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

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

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

This will be quite a different experience for Angela Manlove.

Hi, I’m Brian. I do the marketing. If you’re reading this, we’re basically besties. I’ll take $50 off* your tree! Use online code: BESTIES

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 up my bad habits

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.

“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.”

“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 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.

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.”

Hmm, she was off to a good start. Then she popped open a can of beer
