Man gets 253 years for molesting

A central Indiana man has been sentenced to 253 years in prison for child molestation—an offense for which he already has served time behind bars. A Madison County judge sentenced 37-year-old William Everage of Anderson on Monday. Everage pleaded guilty last month to 19 counts of child molesting. A jury trial for Jessica Tooley, Everage's girlfriend, is scheduled for July 17. Prosecutors allege the pair molested an 11-year-old girl late last year. Everage was released from prison in 2010 after serving five years for two child molesting convictions.

Lawrence passes smoking ban

The Lawrence city council voted 5-3 in favor of a stricter smoking ban Monday night. The ban is nearly identical to the one recently enacted by Indianapolis. It includes bars, bowling alleys and private clubs. It also restricts smoking outside building entrances.

Woman dies, five injured in shootings

One woman was killed and at least five other people were wounded in shootings on the west side of Indianapolis early Tuesday morning. Police believe the shootings took place just after midnight in the parking lot of Ben Davis ballpark, 7400 W. 21st St., when two groups of women met to fight. An unidentified woman died in the shootings. Two 20-year-old females and a 21-year-old woman also suffered gunshot wounds, as did a 20-year-old man and a 25-year-old male. At least one of the wounded was in critical condition.

First Friday Food Truck Festival

July 6

Old National Centre Parking Lot

I’m still not entirely convinced of the value of a food truck festival. After all, how many meals can one person have while standing in a parking lot? And should one pay a cover price to do so? (OK, so maybe I should actually go one of these months and discover the appeal for myself.) But I am impressed that 30 trucks and their chefs are participating. And that live music, games and a kid zone are part of the event. Details here.

First Friday

July 6

Various locations

Whether or not you indulge in the food truck fair (see below), there are plenty of places to stop on First Friday, the monthly gallery-hopping evening sponsored by the Indianapolis Downtown Artists and Dealers Association. Two potential starting points: the Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library, where Bob Marks’ pegboard work (it’s a different piece, depending on which hole you use to hang it) is being showcased; or the Harrison Center for the Arts, featuring “India: No Place Like Home,” the first exhibition as part of its Global Art Exchange. Details here.

“Cabaret”

July 6-21

Athenaeum Theatre

For me, “Cabaret” is the most anticipated Indy theater production of the summer. Why? Well, besides the great set of songs, memorable characters and compelling story in the ground-breaking show, director/producer Bob Harbin has cast Claire Wilcher in the lead. A dynamic local singer and actress with a powerful voice, Wilcher isn’t in the mold of Liza Minnelli, Jane Horrocks, Natasha Richardson or any of the other actresses who have put their indelible stamp on the central role of Sally Bowles. As such, I’m hoping for a brand new look at a great show. Ben Tebbe of “Avenue Q” and Paul D. Nicely of “Godspell” are also on hand to round out the leads. Note: In an unusual performance schedule, there is only one show on opening weekend. Details here.
