CONDADO TACOS OPENS NEWEST LOCATION NEAR HAMILTON TOWN CENTER Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing Photographer / Brian Brosmer

Condado Tacos, which first launched in 2014 in Columbus, Ohio, offers a unique build-your-own-taco concept that includes a variety of flavors and choices for shells, proteins, toppings, salsas and sauces.

“We are definitely not your average taco place,” says Brandon Burnell, assistant general manager of the brand-new

Integral to Condado’s menu are its signature “Noblesville rounds us out in the double-decker taco shells - crunchy and soft, Indianapolis area,” Burnell says. “This is a layered together with options like queso, great spot for us, with a growing community.” refried beans and guacamole.

The popular restaurant caters to all kinds TownePost.com / JANUARY 2022 / NOBLESVILLE MAGAZINE / 5

“We have so many protein choices that

you’re just not going to find at a normal taco place,” Burnell says.

Ten to be exact, including Korean BBQ pulled jackfruit, slow-roasted portobellos, veggie chorizo and poblano, and Thai chili tofu. They offer a ton of toppings as well, such as Asian-style red cabbage, jicama and cabbage slaw, cilantro and onions, and pickled red onions. They make an assortment of sauces and salsas fresh daily.

“We’ve got plenty that are vegan and vegetarian friendly, but also creamy and hotter sauces,” Burnell says.

They also sell chips and dip, house-made nachos with queso blanco, and a variety of packed bowls. They offer packed bowls with a base of rice and black beans, as well as a lightly tossed vinaigrette kale bowl and a shredded lettuce bowl - all great low-carb options.

They also have taco suggestions like Lucy’s Fire, with roasted chicken, lettuce, cilantro

and onions, Middlefield smoked cheddar, corn salsa, and cilantro-lime aioli, as well as the Blue Dream, which comes with queso blanco, ground beef, lettuce, tomatoes and avocado ranch sauce.

Condado has a beverage program with a variety of margaritas, which they make in-house using fresh, flavorful ingredients.

Monday through Thursday they have an all-day happy hour. Monday through Wednesday, margaritas (house, frozen or sparkling) are $5. Thursdays are for friends, as pitchers of margaritas are $20. Each quarter they offer a featured drink, and donate all proceeds toward a local cause in the community.

Customers appreciate the friendly, comeas-you-are atmosphere. They also love how each location features street-art-inspired murals that are commissioned by local artists. In Noblesville, the restaurant’s theme revolves around “Psychedelic Arcade,” a fun spin on classic 1980s arcades. The showcase wall, painted by project lead Brian

Holderman, sets the tone for the theme.

“The arcade game ‘Jail Break’ references the Hamilton County sheriff ’s residence and jail,” says Lindsay Pilko, Condado creative director. “This historic building served as a jail from 1876 to 1977, and once housed the infamous Charles Manson.”

Artist Erica Parker transformed Ms. PacMan into Ms. Taco Man. The art also includes a Morse Reservoir tribute via the 1980s game ‘Frogger,’ painted by Dan Thompson.

Another part of Condado’s concept is quickness.

“We’re fast,” Burnell says. “You can get in and out in 30 to 45 minutes while having a great experience.”

Part of the reason they can offer quick turnaround times is because of their technology, which enables servers to place orders with the kitchen in real time.

“Our server can take your drink order and those drinks could potentially arrive at your table while the rest of your order is still being taken,” Burnell says.

For those who prefer takeout or delivery, they have a user-friendly online ordering system. When the order is ready, you get a text message. They offer Bud Boxes, which include two tacos and chips and dip, for $10.99. Bud Box bundles, ideal for families, include eight tacos with a variety of chips and dips for an affordable price.

They have a rewards program that works with their Condado smartphone application.

If you’re throwing a party or reception, Condado can cater the affair, and revelers can build their own taco or nacho. Plus, they have a 30-taco party box - you can choose three of your favorite tacos and get 10 each.

“We can accommodate any-size crowd,” Burnell says.

On top of it all, the Noblesville Condado location is optimal.

“You can hear the [Ruoff Music Center] concerts from the patio,” Burnell says. “It’s such an amazing spot.”

Condado Tacos is located at 14165 Cabela Parkway, Suite 117 in Noblesville.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

HANNAH WILLIAMSON

Writer / Julie Yates Photography Provided

Noblesville High School senior Hannah Williamson is busy participating in many second-semester activities. Interests during her high school years have included art, piano, cross country and speech team.

As a board member of the mental health organization Bring Change to Mind, she organized a canned food drive to benefit Angels’ Attic in Arcadia. However, there is an aspect of her life that is atypical for a person of her age. She is the coauthor of two selfpublished, young-adult fantasy novels, and is currently in the midst of writing a third book.

Along with her father, Noblesville East Middle School Assistant Principal Robert Williamson, she began working on the first book, “Raulin’s Oath,” in 2019. It was selfpublished in 2020 and followed by “The False Prophet” in 2021. The third book in the Palidonaya Chronicles trilogy, “The Wolf, the Thief and the Scoundrel,” is set in modern times while the first two are set in the recent past.

Williamson became an avid writer as soon as she could read. She traces her love of storytelling back to the tales her dad would tell her at bedtime when she was a toddler.

His stories transported her to a different world and spurred on her desire to develop her own ability to craft fiction.

Hannah and Robert Williamson

“I’ve always wanted to be an author,” Williamson says. “When I was in fourth grade I hand-wrote a 100-page book. Later I began writing different versions of the stories my dad had told me when I was little.

I asked him if we could work together on a book.”

The first two times she asked her father to collaborate with her, he said no. Then, right

before her freshman year, he was moved to say yes when she presented him with the prologue of the first book. The first draft of the resulting novel took two months to write, but the finished product took more than a year.

“A big thing I learned is that the first draft doesn’t have to be perfect,” Williamson says. “We ended up doing six or seven drafts

before we sent it to the person that we hired to edit it. We started off by looking for a traditional publisher, but although we did receive an offer, we decided to self-publish it. It was a challenging process to format it correctly, but as self-publishers we had total control over the project we had spent so much time and love on.”

Derek Ruble, an East Middle School social studies teacher, was chosen to illustrate the covers of both books. As soon as Williamson and her dad saw his first draft, they knew he was the correct choice. The second book cover features several photos overlaid together. Both covers convey the essence of the trilogy, in which a young girl suffering from a serious illness travels to an alternate realm to seek healing and then has a riveting journey home.

When writing the books, both Williamson and her father would produce alternating 1,000-word blocks. This forced the plot to move at a fast past to keep the interest of

young-adult readers. Character traits were developed through the action-packed prose, which in turn served to merge the writing styles of both authors. For the second book, Williamson’s mother Lesa helped with the editing.

Both existing books have Facebook pages named for their titles and have developed a following. The Williamsons have participated in book signings to promote the books. During a signing held at East Middle School, Williamson was delighted to have the opportunity to answer questions and later read some writing samples students shared with her.

Gal’s Guide to the Galaxy hosted a signing in August. Locations and times of future signings will be posted on Instagram @ writingtimewiththewilliamsons.

PARENTING THE HERO’S TWO JOURNEYS

Jim White

Think back to when your children were young. When you would watch all of those great Disney movies. What makes these movies so great is the storytelling structure of “A hero’s two journeys”. Whether your favorite was Lion King, Finding Nemo or Toy Story, all of these follow this simple storytelling process. In each of these great movies the hero finds themselves on a

mission or a journey of some kind. Simba in the Lion King has run away … Marilin, Nemo’s dad, is trying to find his son … and Woody feels obligated to bring Buzz Lightyear back. These are the outside journey’s. But what makes these movies so compelling is the inside journey each of these hero’s are on. As each of them strive to accomplish the outside goal, they find themselves being transformed on the inside.

They are becoming not just different but a better person. Simba discovers that you should learn from your past and not run away from it. Marlin overcomes his fear and limiting beliefs about Nemo. Woody realizes that being Andy’s favorite toy is not what makes him special, it is doing the right thing.

I invite you to consider the possibility that you are the hero in your family story. The outside mission is to raise your children to be “successful”. You want them to be happy.

To find joy and purpose in what they do and in their relationships as adults. But how can you teach them or lead them to this type of success, if you aren’t sure how to accomplish it for yourself. As the hero

in this story, you are also on an internal journey of transformation. As a parent, you are in a position to experience tremendous personal growth. Consider this definition of a “Successful Person” A “successful person” is one that; speaks with respect, honors difference, provides a nurturing environment, empowers others and is a joy to be around.

They have a knack for really enjoying and appreciating the good times, while at the same time, they have the ability to effectively deal with any difficult issues that come their way They inspire a sense of peace, joy, warmth and love wherever they go.

The most effective way to teach or influence your children is to lead by example. In Fact you are doing this whether you know it or not. Your children are always watching and listening to you. You are their hero. One of the greatest gifts you can give your child is to be very intentional and transparent about your journey to be a better person.

PREVENTING CERVICAL CANCER WITH ROUTINE CHECKUPS

Writer / Dr. Lisa Landrum, Gynecological Oncologist, IU Health Joe and Shelly Schwarz Cancer Center at IU Health North Hospital

According to the National Cervical Cancer Coalition, more than 13,000 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cervical cancer each year. Cervical cancer is one of the five cancer types that attack a woman’s reproductive system. However, it is the easiest gynecological cancer to prevent. It is also a very treatable type of cancer when it is caught early.

Prevention, cervical cancer cases and related deaths have decreased significantly in the last 40 years, largely due to many women getting regular Pap tests. It’s usually recommended to begin getting Pap tests at age 21, and they can be done at your gynecologist’s office during your yearly exam. After that, your doctor will tell you how often you need to be tested. For women age 30+, talk with your doctor about which testing option is recommended for you – a Pap test, HPV test or both.

GET THE HPV VACCINE.

LEARN ABOUT YOUR RISK FACTORS. Cervical cancer is caused by infection with the human papilloma virus (HPV) and there is no relationship to family history. Risky sexual activity, such as early onset of sexual activity and multiple partners, increase your risk for HPV infection. People who smoke or are immunocompromised are at high risk because both of these factors impair the patient’s ability to ever clear the virus and they remain persistently infected.

The HPV vaccine protects against the types of HPV that are most likely to cause cervical cancer and other gynecological cancers.

According to the National Cancer Institute, the HPV vaccine helps to prevent approximately 90% of cervical cancers in women who received the vaccine before the age of 17. The vaccine is recommended for girls between the ages of 11 and 26. Women over the age of 26 who have not yet gotten the vaccine, can still get it if it is recommended by your doctor.

GET A PAP SMEAR.

Cervical cancer is very treatable when caught early. Don’t delay in scheduling your yearly checkup with your gynecologist.

The Pap smear (or pap tests) is used to look for precancerous cells on the cervix. According to the Centers for Disease Control and

Plummeting temperatures and low humidity levels make breathing even more difficult for individuals who battle this chronic disease. Although the majority of individuals with COPD are diagnosed in their 50s and 60s, onset varies and is greatly dependent on environmental factors.

COPD is a progressive condition that causes breathing difficulties due to compromised lungs and airways. Shortness of breath, a chronic cough and tiredness make everyday tasks increasingly hard to Writer / Julie Yates accomplish. Early detection is important in Photography Provided slowing down the symptoms of the disease During the winter months, people suffering and improving the quality of life for those diagnosed. with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) need to be especially JANUARY 2022

“COPD is a chronic lung infection typically linked to smokers or people who have had a lot of exposure to smoke, but there are other reasons people contract it,” says Dr. Maria Wilson, regional director at Oak Street Health. “Exposure to environments full of lung irritants such as steel mills, or saw dust, are also reasons.

Sometimes it is linked to asthma. The lung tissue becomes inflamed and stiff. The lungs are less able to exchange oxygen into the bloodstream.”

The best prevention measure is not to smoke, and to stay away from smokefilled environments. However, if someone is diagnosed with COPD a treatment plan can be designed to slow down the progression of the disease. The goal is to find ways to relax the lung tissue.

— DR. MARIA WILSON “The most important thing someone can do is to stop smoking,” Wilson says.

“Along with that, there are inhalers of different kinds. Some have steroids and others are designed to get someone through an acute situation. The disease can progress to the point where patients need to carry an oxygen machine with them 24 hours a day.”

Cold weather is a high-risk time for seniors suffering from COPD. With already-compromised and inflamed lungs, they are more susceptible to falling ill with seasonal flu during the months of October through February. It is very important to keep track of, and be up to date on, all relevant vaccines.

“At Oak Street Health we stress the importance of not losing touch with your primary health provider,” Wilson says. “We are a very hands-on model and proactively schedule visits every three or four months. When someone is 12 years old, all they need is a yearly physical and their shots. With older patients, it’s important to catch them when they are healthy and do what needs to be done to stay healthy. It’s a lot better not to be behind the eight ball.”

Oak Street Health’s primary care physicians specialize in Medicare patients. They are located throughout Indiana with four centers located in the Indianapolis area. Their website contains a blog page with tips on diet, health and other information dedicated to keeping seniors healthy.

LIVING RIGHT

IT ’S ABOUT MORE THAN JUST THE WORKOUT AT LIVRITE FITNESS

22 / NOBLESVILLE MAGAZINE / JANUARY 2022 / TownePost.com

Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing Photographer / Brian Brosmer

Changing the world is a lofty goal, but it can be done when you start by committing to changing yourself. Greg Lymberopoulos knows this well. In 1982, he opened his first fitness club. Though he liked the business, he also felt his heart being pulled in another direction - Christian ministry. After much prayer and reflection, he sold his clubs and pursued that spiritual calling. In 2004, his two passions were combined in LivRite Fitness Belleville, Illinois. The journey led to building a new LivRite Fitness, a $6.5 million, state-of-the-art exercise facility in Fishers, IN. “In short, our mission is to help people live right,” Greg says. “You, individually, are the purpose of our work. Your health, fitness and well-being goals matter most. That’s why when you first step inside our doors, we ask what it is you’re trying to accomplish rather than show you a great facility with state of the art equipment.”

The facility accommodates group fitness classes of all types in two fitness studios.

There is also an 87-degree swimming pool for lap swimming and aqua fit classes.

“The temperature provides comfort and therapy for joint pains that come with age,” Greg says.

The club has a sauna, hot tubs and hydromassage beds to provide members with relaxation following workouts. Plus, they have a full-court basketball court for pickup games and tournaments, as well as volleyball and pickleball. They also have a top-of-the-line weight room and cardio equipment, along with a functional training area for boxing and TRX training. There is also an outdoor workout area, and a place for members to run and walk around

a pond. In addition, the facility includes conference rooms that hold Bible studies as well as nutrition and fitness seminars.

Michael maintains that the staff members take great pride in providing not only a high-level fitness facility, but also a welcoming and peaceful atmosphere for members.

“You’ll never get bored working out here,” says Michael Lymberopoulos, member representative. “There’s something new every time you work out.”

“We play Christian music in the background,” he says. “It’s definitely a good place for people to reflect and get a good workout in.”

Although the facility has much to offer, Greg insists that it’s not the main reason people join.

“People coming together for a common purpose to be healthy and well makes a great community, which will grow friendships beyond LivRite,” Greg says. “We genuinely care about our community. Our focus is to help each individual with their workout journey. We are a fitness center for everybody.”

People can experience a real difference when they see the way the LivRite team cares for their members, calling them by name and engaging with them daily in order to see them grow.

All new members are offered a free fitness assessment. Those who elect to get paired with a trainer can sign up for three months, eight months or one year, then extend that plan if they choose. The LivRite team always offers a sincere smile, an encouraging voice and a commitment to care. There are even inspirational quotes, messages and art on a whiteboard near the front desk, so they are the first things guests see when they enter.

The fitness trainers love helping members stay consistent with their fitness regimens so that they can reach their fullest potential.

“People have a hard time staying on track,

but trainers hold you accountable, motivate and educate you,” says Rebecca Elliott, a trainer who provides positive feedback to her clients by reminding them of what they can do rather than focusing on what they can’t.

“A lot of people show up and say, ‘I can’t do this. I’m not strong. I’m not coordinated,’” Elliott says. “I tell them, ‘I think you’ll be surprised. Look at what you just did. Did you ever think that you could lift that much weight, do that many squats or run that far?’”

On the flip side, Elliott is equally inspired by her clients, having watched them overcome all sorts of hardships including surgeries, injuries and illnesses. Their commitment to change can’t help but inspire.

“Some of them work out really early in the morning,” Elliott says. “I don’t know how they do it. I have a client who started changing nutrition hard core and has had great results. She shared her tips with me, and I’ve started following her regimen.

I’m not here to tell my clients what to do.

We work together as a team.”

The staff enjoyed a great reception at their grand opening in January of 2020 before COVID-related shutdowns caused them to close for three months. While many businesses struggled to survive, LivRite Fitness reopened in May of 2020 and thrived.

“It felt next to impossible for us to recover and yet we came back stronger than ever,” Greg says, noting that the LivRite team has plans to franchise in the future. “I give all the glory for our success to the Lord Jesus Christ. His faithfulness allowed us to help so many people during an exceedingly difficult period of time. Our diligent and caring staff worked to ensure that each member was cared for, which is the heart of LivRite.”

LivRite Fitness is located at 13454 Parkside Drive in Fishers. They also have locations in Anderson and Indianapolis.

THE THIN LINE SPOTLIGHT SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER ANDREW REISS Writer / Matt Keating Photography Provided

Andrew Reiss, a sergeant and school resource officer (SRO) with the Noblesville Police Department, says the SRO program has helped students, teachers and school staff members since the program began.

“The SRO program with Noblesville schools originated over 20 years ago, when the Noblesville Police Department began to assign one officer to the schools to assist with any issues that would arise throughout the day,” Reiss says. “About 11 years ago, the program expanded to include an SRO in the high school, and one at each middle school. This enabled the program to begin to do proactive educational lessons at the elementary and middle school levels.”

The Noblesville Police Department taught the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) curriculum until four years ago, when their SROs developed their own lessons, and named the program Project Truth.

“This is a wide array of lessons that we teach primarily in the elementary levels that help the kids learn how to handle things like water safety, how to properly call 911, and what to do if they get lost, just to name a few,” Reiss says. “This change to the Project Truth curriculum was made possible when the city passed a referendum for school safety that placed an SRO inside every Noblesville school building.”

Prior to that, the officers would float around different buildings teaching lessons.

“This kept the officers from really being able to develop lasting relationships with

the kids,” Reiss says. “We are in our third year of having a fully staffed SRO program in Noblesville. At the middle school and high school levels, the officers teach many different classes in an effort to develop relationships with students.”

This can include discussions in government classes, and assisting math classes with texting and driving lessons, during which students determine how far a car typically goes when a driver is looking down. The lesson has been featured in The Atlantic magazine.

“The individual SROs at the high school and middle school level use their own talents to spend time in classes so they can get to know the students,” Reiss says. “I spend time in the Spanish classes brushing up on my college Spanish, challenging myself to remember math from 20 years ago, or challenging students in the 50-yard dash in gym class.”

Reiss says the role of an SRO is often referred to as a triad concept, with the three components being teacher, informal counselor and law enforcement officer.

“In order to make all of those aspects work, the officer has to have the ability to develop meaningful relationships with the students, and by doing this the students feel comfortable with talking with the SRO about any issue,” Reiss says. “This law enforcement role represents one side of what the SRO does. I would argue that the other two aspects of our job are far more important. When an SRO develops relationships with the students, they are often able to help counsel them through some life issues with family, relationships, depression, traffic tickets, car accidents,

etcetera. The role we play in the classroom is in all of the programing we do, to teach students about problems they may face in life.”

Reiss is a 28-year veteran of law enforcement, and began his career in Frankfort, Indiana, in 1994. He joined the Noblesville Police Department in 2006.

“I entered the SRO division in October of 2016,” he says. “I am currently working out

of an office at Noblesville High school, and I supervise the resource officers that work in the high school and both Noblesville middle schools. I am responsible for scheduling the security at all the after-school events, as well as the officers that direct traffic for the Noblesville school corporation at various buildings. During the day I spend most of my time working with students at the high school, helping the other SRO that works full time there.”

Janae Mobley, assistant principal of Noblesville High School, says she enjoys Reiss’s positive presence, building relationships with students on a daily basis.

“They see Sergeant Reiss as a trusted adult, and seek out guidance and input,” Mobley says. “I also appreciate his wisdom and insight in daily issues. His heart for serving our kids and community is extremely apparent in all that he does.”
