MAIN FOCUS

NOBLESVILLE MAIN STREET ORGANIZATION SHINES A LIGHT ON WHAT MAKES DOWNTOWN SPECIAL

People are charmed by the ambiance of historic downtown Noblesville. Located along the perimeter of the courthouse square, and extending to nearby streets, are unique businesses such as antique shops, boutiques, and quaint places to grab coffee or a bite to eat.

The monumental Hamilton County Courthouse, built in the late 1870s, anchors it all. Besides shopping, visitors come to attend the 20-plus highly anticipated events that take place each year. Noblesville Main Street is the organization responsible for making the festivals and activities happen.

For more than 30 years, Noblesville Main Street, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, has developed the culture of the city’s historic downtown, and in turn enriched the surrounding community. Accredited by the national organization Main Street America, it differs from the Chamber of Commerce since its sole focus is revitalizing the downtown sector. Funding is completely through donations and corporate sponsorships.

It promotes the businesses within the district by developing partnerships and creating unique events that draw visitors to the area. Along with corporate sponsor Duke Energy, Noblesville Main Street hosts the Farmers Market at Federal Hill Commons each Saturday morning from 8 a.m. to noon through October 14. Music & All That Jazz, which is held on the courthouse square and sponsored with Gordon Insurance Partners, will also end its season on October 14.

Happenings geared toward the cooler months are coming soon. The themed First Friday events held downtown are very popular and include the Fall Fest/ Soup Cook Off on October 6, Holiday Open House on November 3, and Deck the Downtown/Midnight Madness on December 1. Small Business Saturday is November 25, and on Saturday, December 2, the Holiday Mart will be held. Information will be coming soon for Noblesville Main Street Holiday Dinner, which will take place on December 7 from 5

Joe Arrowood was involved with Noblesville Main Street from its very beginnings. Early on, he stepped into the role of executive director, serving in that position for nine years. Many of the events people enjoy today were developed during his tenure.

“The thing we really wanted to do was help the merchants and mom-and-pop establishments by putting on programs to bring people downtown,” Arrowood says.

“One of the biggest ones we started is the Street Dance. Getting the Duck Race up and going was hard. I went to the Lions Club for help and they were great. Later they came up with the idea of serving grilled cheese during the Soup Cook Off.”

“Our community-driven organization is affiliated with the national organization Main Street America,” says Kate Baker, executive director. “To keep our accreditation, we must run a solid board, have fundraisers, define our historic

district and do things for the community through events. We need volunteers and partnerships to continue to adapt our events, to welcome more people in our growing community. Each year we think about how we can redefine and bring folks downtown to support our local businesses.”

Noblesville Main Street is located at 839 Conner Street. Call 317-776-0205 and visit noblesvillemainstreet.org for more info. Also view them on Facebook and Instagram.

WORTHY GOALS

As the world turned its attention to the 2023 Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, Indianapolis’ own soccer team competed for glory much closer to home. Led by homegrown players and local coaches, the Indy Eleven women’s team won the USL W championship in the team’s second year of existence.

For Indy Eleven Head Coach Paul Dolinsky, the journey to a championship started after last season’s playoff loss to Minnesota. “I don’t actually remember saying this, but multiple people have backed it up,” he says. “Apparently we got on the bus last year after we lost to Minnesota, and the first thing out of my mouth was, ‘We’re not losing next year.’ I don’t know if my subconscious kicked in, but that was the mindset from the beginning. We’re going to win a championship.”

During his first year as head coach, also the Indy Eleven women’s inaugural season, the Carmel native led the Eleven to an undefeated season, one of only three teams to complete the year without a loss. Despite his proclamation on the team bus, the Eleven did lose, but only once, and that loss was avenged with a 16-0 drubbing of Saint Charles. That victory gave the team momentum as they entered the playoffs. Four matches later, the Indy Eleven were champions.

Dolinsky says the leadership and high character shown by the team set them up for a championship run. “I think all credit has to be given to the buy-in of the girls, and the leadership that some of the more experienced girls provided in big moments throughout the course of the playoff run,” he says. “I think they set a standard, they set a tone, and it allowed the new girls or the younger girls a great

example to follow. Whoever was on the field, whether they started the game or came in off the bench, everybody was bought into, to the task at hand.”

One of those players was Zionsville native Annika Creel.

Creel played four years at Zionsville Community High School, where she was two-time all-state. Creel spent two seasons at the University of Connecticut, one as a redshirt freshman, before transferring to Butler University where she played three seasons. After college, Creel signed briefly with Houston’s NWSL team before COVID-19 derailed the season. From there Creel flew to Sweden and played a season with Goteborg FC. While in Sweden, Creel got a call from Houston saying they wanted to bring her back. Creel played two seasons with Houston. During the preseason of her third year in Houston, Creel tore her ACL. A few months later she tore the meniscus in that same knee. She and Houston parted ways.

Back home again in Indiana, Creel continued rehabbing her knee. With the season approaching its end, Indy Eleven reached out to

her to see if she’d be interested in joining the team. Creel says it was the perfect opportunity for her and her freshly rebuilt knee to get back on the pitch.

Creel appeared in six matches for Indy Eleven. She contributed a key assist to keep the Eleven’s playoff run alive. “All I wanted to do was contribute in the best possible way I could for the team and what everyone else needed,” she says. “It was amazing. The environment was awesome and I was really grateful for that chance and that opportunity to do that with that team.”

“For all the wrong reasons that things didn’t work out in Houston for her, she was given an opportunity to play in front of family, friends, and play for the city of Indianapolis, and I think that that meant a lot to her,” Dolinsky says.

Creel wasn’t alone in celebrating winning the championship in her home state. Goalkeeper Nona Reason and defender Jenna Chatterton, standout players and Noblesville High School graduates, played key roles in the Eleven’s success. Reason made 11 appearances for the Eleven and Chatterton appeared in 13 matches. Reason finished the season with seven clean shots between the goalposts. The Eleven outscored their opponents 49-6 in 14 matches, 10 of which were shutouts. Throughout the 2023 season, opposing teams only scored three goals in matches in which both Reason and Chatterton played.

Fitting Pursuit

NOBLESVILLE NATIVE RETURNS HOME TO OPEN JUST LAGOM DOWNTOWN BOUTIQUE

Writer / Alli Donovan Photographer / Ron Wise

What do you want to be when you grow up?

We’ve all been asked this question at some time or another. Do you remember what you said when you were 16? Are you living up to your dream? Noblesville native Lindsey McVey is.

At 16 years old, McVey landed her first job ever at Delaney’s Shoppe, a local boutique in Noblesville. At that job, she discovered her dream. McVey knew she wanted to open her own boutique one day. Where, when, and how were a few big questions, but those

were details to worry about later.

McVey soon graduated college from Indiana University Bloomington with a degree in advertising, public relations and graphic design. She left Indiana to work in Los Angeles and Dallas for the next six years. In 2021 she decided to make the big move back home to Noblesville.

“Being away from Indiana for six years really made me appreciate where I grew up and the sense of community you find here,” McVey says. “Noblesville has support and

people who rally around you, and I can’t imagine opening my business anywhere else.”

In August of 2022 she officially opened the doors of her new brick-and-mortar shop, Just Lagom, which is Swedish for “just right.” And that is exactly what you’ll find at Just Lagom - pieces that fit you and your style just right.

The boutique offers women’s clothing, shoes, accessories and baby clothes. Visitors can find a wide variety of styles at Just

Lagom that appeal to different audiences. Exclusively in-store, shoppers will find many items from other local sellers like candles, flowers, artwork and more.

As Just Lagom was getting its feet off the ground, a new space just around the corner from the original location became available for lease. McVey saw this as an opportunity she couldn’t pass up. So, four or five months after her grand opening, Just Lagom made the move to Logan Street in downtown Noblesville.

This new space gave Just Lagom four times more space than the original location. This

space created room for JL Studio. JL Studio is an extension of Just Lagom and is a private event space for the community. This space is available for rent to the public for workshops, events or pop-ups.

McVey has quickly fallen in love with being a small-business owner. She has been the marketing, operations, logistics and shop manager, as well as shop employee, all wrapped into one.

“Being a small business owner has brought its own set of challenges, but usually it’s just new obstacles and new learnings that you figure out as you go,” McVey says.

“Noblesville has just been such a great support system. Everyone from the mayor to the small businesses around me to my customers - I couldn’t ask for better.”

Just Lagom is located at 876 Logan Street in Noblesville. To shop online or see store hours, visit shopjustlagom.com. For store arrivals, outfit inspiration and store news, follow Just Lagom on Instagram @ justlagomboutique or Facebook @shop. justlagom.

events.

Four female firefighters in the Noblesville Fire Department are being recognized for their courageous commitment to their community. Each has their own reasons why they enjoy their job.

LAURA PIGUET

“I started with The Noblesville Fire Department on April 5, 2004,” Piguet says.

“I love being a firefighter, and I love that it’s a physical job and every day is completely different. You never know what you’re going to get when the tones drop. I enjoy helping people, and getting to have new experiences

Piguet has had memorable experiences as a firefighter.

“Being a part of the honor guard has lent itself to experiences that can give you great pride, and the ability to also honor those who have given their life in the fire service,” Piguet says. “Years ago I had the opportunity to be a part of the Steel Ride that escorted a large piece of the World Trade Center towers to Indianapolis from Richmond on motorcycles.”

Piguet also enjoys participating in community

“I’ve also boxed in Slugfest, representing Team Fire, and won,” Piguet says. “I also ran on the badge team for the mini marathon. I participated in Bop to the Top multiple times as a team in full gear, on the air. I did it with a few of my classmates and older firemen. We were the first ones to do it on the air in full gear almost 20 years ago, and we plan to do it again as the same group.”

Piguet adds that community events are a lot of fun.

“I also participate on the public safety softball tournament team, and the department

volleyball and dodgeball teams,” Piguet says. “It’s all for special causes and charities.”

Piguet also enjoys helping people.

“As far as job-related experiences, I’ve had almost 20 years of helping people, whether fire or EMS, and also witnessing great tragedy,”

BRITTANY BOLDEN

“I started with the Noblesville Fire Department in September of 2020,” Bolden says. “I like helping the citizens of Noblesville. I take pride in being the first responder they call for help, and I try to make their experience the best it can be in a bad situation.”

Buck has a particular favorite memory.

“My most memorable experience as a firefighter was being able to rescue baby ducks from a storm drain,” Buck says.

COLORFUL CONNECTIONS

BRIDGE OF FLOWERS REFLECTS A COMMUNITY IN BLOOM

For those who have discovered it, the Bridge of Flowers has become a destination they want to visit often. The recent beautification project is close to historic Noblesville Square, and is located on the south side of the pedestrian pathway on the Logan Street Bridge. It spans a 150-foot gathering space between the Hamilton County Courthouse and Federal Hill Commons.

Visitors delight in the maturing beauty of the permanent plant installations, and enjoy decorative additions as the seasons change. It’s a perfect place for taking family, graduation or engagement photos. The benches and shade of the pergola make it an inviting spot to eat lunch, read a book or just take a quiet moment to think.

The idea for the Bridge of Flowers was put into motion by Dick Gordon after his daughter, Sylvia, saw a similar bridge in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts. He spearheaded a partnership between the City of Noblesville, Hamilton County, local businesses and people from the community. In appreciation for the support received, an ongoing donor wall is incorporated in the space. Recognition is given according to donation levels. The Bronze level is $300 to $500, Silver level is $500 to $1,000, and Gold level is above $1,000.

Locals celebrated the space’s one-year anniversary this August. During the summer, plants flourished. Vines made their way to cover structures, and vibrant blooms offered a variety of color and texture. Peg Adams, who serves on the board of the nonprofit in addition to heading up the team of volunteers that maintain the plants, carefully plans for seasonal changes.

“Each season brings its own special qualities,” says Adams. “We try to make the bridge as festive as possible. Each time you walk across the bridge, you can see something different. We planned the fall scape around plants we already had this summer, such as the red grasses with their height, plumes and color.”

The autumn plantings include lots of mums, and different varieties of flowering kale and cabbages. Straw bales and pumpkins are included. Bright orange and yellow pansies that can tolerate cooler temperatures add lots of visual interest.

“The fall season is short,” says Adams. “I try to watch the summer flowers and when they start looking a little haggard, it’s time. It’s good to have fall flowers in for a couple weeks before the bad weather hits, so they can get a good start, usually by the third week or the very end of September. We try to catch the time before the first freeze, and definitely before a hard freeze.”

The winter plantings will go in right after Thanksgiving and will stay in place until spring. Adams works with an average crew of five to 10 people who help her with the installations. Every few weeks, two or three people maintain the plantings.

“Donations and volunteers are always needed,” says Adams. “It’s not a huge job but it is a regular commitment. It’s so fun to be out on the bridge working when someone drives by and yells out, ‘It’s beautiful!’ The community has been very supportive and they seem to be enjoying it. It’s something a little different. It’s a nice place to bike or walk over to. There’s always a breeze. Something about the water makes the air feel cooler. I’m amazed at how mature the plants got this year. They are constantly changing, and the variety of colors and textures just keep getting better. It fills me with joy.”

HITTING THE RESET BUTTON

CERESET CAN HELP YOUR BRAIN HELP YOU

“As we age, our brains respond differently,” says Cereset Tech Coach Susan Clouser. “Stress changes us. Life changes us.”

Our brains are designed for the two hemispheres to work together, like ballroom dancers gliding fluidly across the floor, keeping perfect time with the music.

But what happens when the two get out of sync?

Rather than flowing as one, the dancers’ movements appear jerky at best. Similarly, our brain imbalances show up as issues with memory, anxiety, depression, anger and more. Prolonged lack of sleep, intense stress and even illnesses like COVID-19 can cause our autonomic nervous systems to become stuck in less-than-optimal states.

Cereset is a wellness company that uses a noninvasive, all-natural technology called BrainEcho, to provide clients a cerebral reset of sorts.

In the early 2000s, Cereset Founder and Chief Executive Officer Lee Gerdes combined his expertise in physics, math, computer software and psychology to develop a neuromodulation process that allows the brain to perceive its own functionality in real time. Rather than a medical device to diagnose or treat, Gerdes’ process stems from the principle that the brain can rebalance and correct itself.

“This helps your brain get unstuck so that you can go into rest and digest,” says 10-year Tech Coach Brenda Hanning. “Then all the healing your brain is designed for happens.”

Backed by research, this patented technology is available through Cereset franchises worldwide, including Henning’s office in Carmel and Clouser’s location in Bluffton. An introductory 50-minute evaluation provides each client with a baseline brain observation, as well as a recommended plan of action, for just $99.

“I had one client who burst into tears because she said her printout validated how she had been feeling,” says Clouser.

Following an initial appointment, clients can choose to continue with a Cereset Wellness Package of five 90-minutes sessions, and have the initial fee applied to the cost.

Most find the sessions relaxing. Lightweight electroencephalogram sensors on the scalp read brain rhythms and provide reflections back to the brain, while clients recline in comfortable antigravity chairs. In fact, it’s not unusual for people to fall asleep.

“Clients tend to be tired afterward because their brains are doing a lot of work,” says Hanning. “I’ve had some clients describe feeling ‘lighter’ after one session. The majority notice changes over about a month.”

Hanning and Clouser say their clients, ranging in age from 5 to 95, experience more restful and restorative sleep, and achieve higher levels of well-being.

After the first five sessions, about 30% of Hanning’s clients return for sessions from once a week to every couple of months, or as needed.

“I can tell when I need a ‘tune-up’ myself,” says Hanning.

Clouser tells the story of a fourth-grader who came into her office saying, “I have the brain of a goldfish.”

This student had a hard time staying in his seat at school, and his teachers encouraged his mother to consider medication. Clouser watched the student’s confidence grow as he saw evidence on each session’s printouts of the changes his brain was experiencing.

“By the end of the year he was getting awards, and the teacher wanted to know what had changed,” says Clouser. “He said he felt happier.”

It’s no wonder Clouser and Hanning love what they do.

For questions or to schedule an introductory appointment with Hanning at 160 West Carmel Drive, Suite 186 in Carmel, call 317-922-7588 or email info@carmel.cereset.com. To schedule an appointment with Clouser at 1169 North Main Street, Suite 4B in Bluffton, call 260-353-1598 or email info@bluffton.cereset.com. To learn more, visit cereset.com.

HEALTH SPOTLIGHT

BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

HELPING YOUR LOVED ONE

Writer / Leslie Clarke, Nurse Navigator at the IU Health Joe & Shelly Schwarz Cancer Center in Carmel

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, one in eight women in the United States will develop breast cancer in her lifetime, making it the most common cancer in American women. In addition, one in around 800 men in their lifetime will also be diagnosed. When a friend or family member is diagnosed, many of us feel helpless to know how to help. Here are a few ways you may support a loved one through this journey.

ASSIST WITH PRACTICAL NEEDS.

It may be difficult for your loved one to complete all the tasks of everyday life while undergoing treatment. Offer assistance with simple activities like gardening, grocery shopping, cooking, driving to and from appointments or dropping kids off at school. These tasks may seem small individually but will allow daily life to continue uninterrupted.

LISTEN MORE THAN YOU SPEAK.

Sharing the story of your “best friend’s cousin who had breast cancer” may only increase anxiety levels for your loved one. There are many forms of breast cancer, and each has a different treatment journey. A better approach may be to ask, “Did your doctor discuss why they recommend this treatment plan?” This also helps to serve as a review for your loved one because historically, people do not remember the majority of what they are told in the office.

OFFER EMOTIONAL SUPPORT.

Breast cancer can cause a person to go through a wide range of psychological and physical changes, which may cause immeasurable emotional distress. You can offer emotional support by being present without being asked. Do not just offer help once and expect them to call on you when they need something. Every person has different needs and certainly some people are very private. However, a phone call or visit “just to check in” will let your loved one know you are available and you care.

CONTINUE SUPPORT AFTER TREATMENT IS COMPLETED.

Many patients tell us that once treatment was completed, friends expressed ,“That is behind you and you can get back to normal life.” We must recognize that breast cancer causes lifetime changes. Each time a “breast cancer survivor” has a follow up exam, an imaging test or even common aches and pains, the first thought is frequently, “Is it back?” Knowing that you understand and are there to support them may make all the difference.

The IU Health Joe & Shelly Schwarz Cancer Center offers several free support groups for patients, survivors and friends and family members. Visit iuhealth.org/classes-events to learn more.

COURTING FUN

A BRIEF RUNDOWN OF THE WHATS, WHERES AND WHYS OF PICKLEBALL

Writer / Vince Welch Photographer / Michael Durr & Sarah Browning

MAYBE YOU’VE HEARD THE FOLLOWING JOKE:

What’s the difference between a tennis court and a pickleball court? The pickleball court is the one being used.

Of course, the tennis diehards aren’t laughing (Can’t we all just get along?). You can use one tennis court to fit two pickleball courts. Understandably, some in the tennis community are frustrated to see their tennis courts turned into pickleball courts. But even the most dedicated tennis player can’t ignore the explosion of pickleball, and that creates a need for more places to play, sometimes at the expense of tennis.

So what is this fascination with pickleball? Why is it the fastestgrowing sport in America? Primarily, pickleball is for everyone. Men and women young and old, from grandma to grade-schooler, athletic specimen or those with wobbly knees…we can all play. Perhaps most amazing is that in some instances, all of those demographics can be on the court together playing at the same level.

Pickleball is easy to learn, and improvement can come quickly, which encourages beginners. Yet the skillset is difficult to master, so the competitor is naturally motivated. You can be a low-level player and simply enjoy the activity and camaraderie with your friends, or you can be a mid- to high-level player and find the drive to improve addicting, and the competition exhilarating. But make no mistake, the game is blowing up locally and nationally.

It’s not unusual these days to flip on the TV and see professional pickleball. The pro game has multiple variations. The Professional

Pickleball Association (PPA) features the highest level of singles, doubles and mixed doubles tournaments. The Association of Pickleball Players has the same format, but the level of player is a step below the PPA.

Major League Pickleball (MLP) is a team competition in which professionals are drafted onto four-player teams that include two men and two women. The MLP teams, in many instances, have a celebrity like LeBron James or Tom Brady as part of the ownership group. These franchises, once available for $100,000, are now valued in the millions.

There is also a professional senior tour, the National Pickleball League, which features Zionsville’s Rick Witsken as a top player and series administrator.

There are several intriguing human-interest elements in the pro ranks. Greenwood twins Jade and Jackie Kawamoto are two rising stars in the women’s game. The hands-down most dominant female is only 16 years old. The men’s game is stacked with talent, many of whom have transitioned from professional tennis.

Of course all those elements are well beyond most of us. We’re just out there looking for some good, fun games to play with the new friends we’ve made. There is no shortage of places locally to get your game on.

Carmel has Inlow Park and Meadowlark Park. Noblesville players might hit Finch Creek Park. Fishers features Holland Park and Cyntheanne Park. There is Quaker Park in Westfield, Mulberry Fields Park in Zionsville, and Lee Road Park in Lawrence. You name it and there are courts awaiting your arrival, free of charge. There are a number of neighborhoods with courts, and even some

private courts if you’re lucky enough to garner an invite.

Typically, in the summer months the best time to find a game is in the morning or evening hours when the temperature is more comfortable than in midday.

At the local courts, there are two general avenues of play. You either bring your foursome to play together, or you show up individually looking to find a game. The latter is referred to as “playing in.”

Depending on where you are, there are multiple ways to play in. Some courts have a designated paddle system to represent your place in line. When a game ends, the next two or four players in line take the court. It’s a very organized process. Some locations have a “challenge court,” where the winners stay on and accept the next challengers.

Regardless of where you’re playing, it’s important to find your level. The last thing you want is to play with someone much more advanced than you, or someone at a much lower level. Those scenarios don’t benefit either type of player, so it’s important for your enjoyment to play with similarly skilled players. If you’re early in development, a venue with more players will give you a better chance to find like-skilled partners.

And like any sport, if you want private tutoring to up your game, that’s available too. There are too many local instructors to list, but if you ask around, you’ll have no problem getting options.

Don’t hesitate to give pickleball a try, and if it’s already become your hobby, well, you’ve likely added significantly to your friend group. Some might even be tennis players.

FUELED FOR SCHOOL

HINKLE CREEK ELEMENTARY STUDENT RAISES MONEY TO HELP ELIMINATE HUNGER AMONG NOBLESVILLE KIDS

Sam Abbott, a fourth-grader at Hinkle Creek Elementary School in Noblesville, recently raised a large sum of money for the Fueled for School program.

Sam’s mother, Sarah, says Fueled for School helps feed Noblesville school children facing food insecurity over the weekends and during school breaks.

“Sam volunteers by helping pack the meal packs at the Fueled for School warehouse, as well as shopping for the nonperishable food items,” Sarah says. “He recently raised $11,310 this year at his lemonade stand.”

Sam’s lemonade stand is also a very popular summer event.

“It takes a lot of planning and shopping,” Sarah says. “It also takes a lot of hauling tables and chairs to make sure everything is just right.”

Sarah adds that there are a lot of people who may not know exactly how the event started.

“It actually wasn’t an event, but a conversation we had with Sam before his sixth birthday,” Sarah says. “I said to him, ‘What do you think about asking your friends to donate $5 to a charity of your choice instead of bringing a present to your birthday party?’ I wasn’t sure how that would go over to a soon-to-be 6-year-old. To my surprise, he was all in.”

Sarah and her family learned about Fueled for School from Kristina Trusty, who was Sam’s kindergarten teacher at the time.

“Trusty founded the organization in 2017, when she discovered there was such a need with food insecurity right here in

Noblesville,” Sarah says. “Sam, of course, said he would donate his birthday money to Fueled for School. At the time, he raised $200. That fall, in 2020, in the middle of COVID, we decided to add a lemonade stand to our usual bacon party over Labor Day weekend during the local men’s golf tournament.”

Sarah says Sam, his dad, Mike Abbott, and friend, Chris Hoffman, built the lemonade stand that people visit now.

“Sam raised just over $1,000,” Sarah says. “We did it again the next year and raised over $2,000. It wasn’t until last year that people really knew what Sam’s mission was. We were hesitant about asking people to donate, but as the word spread, he started receiving donations from all over the country.”

Sarah says last year, just over $8,000 was raised.

The meal packs for kids from the Fueled for School program contain nonperishable items such as cereal, oatmeal, fruit cups, canned soups and popcorn.

“The kids also have access to refrigerated items such as milk and eggs at different times of the year at the Fueled for School warehouse,” Sarah says.

This year, there are over 350 Noblesville school children in need every week.

“Sam and I volunteered to help pack the meal packs,” Sarah says. “On our way home he said to me, ‘Mom, I’m really understanding what this means. Every bag we packed helps one kid.’ There were close to 700 bags so it was eye opening. As parents we’re trying to

“HE RAISED $11,310 THIS YEAR AT HIS LEMONADE STAND.”

raise good humans - be kind to others, use your manners, do your chores - but to have compassion comes from the heart, and I’m so proud of Sam.”

Sarah adds that all of the kids who work at the lemonade stand, and people who spend money at the stand, are there for what they believe in.

“The fact that all these kids want to help and make a difference just warms my soul,” Sarah says. “I want to thank everyone. We, as friends, as family, as co-workers, as a community, are helping make a difference and that’s amazing. I can’t wait to start planning next year.”

Sarah says Sam also stays busy with other activities.

“Sam plays baseball through Noblesville Youth Baseball, basketball at the Boys & Girls Club, and golf and tennis,” Sarah says. “He has also entered art contests and science fairs at school. Sam has a very kind heart. He’s a great friend and leader. My husband, Mike, and I couldn’t be more proud of the person he is growing into.”

BEAZER HOMES WINS 2023 HOUSING INNOVATION AWARD FROM THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Beazer Homes, a national new home builder based out of Atlanta, GA has won a 2023 Housing Innovation Award from the U.S. Department of Energy. Since 2013, the DOE Housing Innovation Awards have honored the very best in innovation on the path to zero energy ready homes by recognizing forward-thinking builders delivering homebuyers with a better homeowner experience. The awards ceremony will be held at the EEBA High Performance Home Summit, October 10-12, in Salt Lake City, Utah.

“Every home we build is designed with cutting edge, energy-efficient features,” said Sean Sullivan, Division President for Beazer Homes. “With better home performance, customers can save money on energy bills, enjoy improved air quality for healthier living, and live more comfortably in their home.”

For more than 25 years, Beazer has been a leader in building homes ahead of current standards and beyond expectations. Beazer was one of the first U.S. national homebuilder to publicly commit that by the end of 2025, every single-family home built will meet the requirements of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Zero Energy Ready HomeTM program. The program incorporates building science innovations and practices to achieve at least 40%-50% greater energy efficiency than a typical new home. DOE Zero Energy Ready Homes are verified and certified by a qualified third-party inspector.

“This DOE program commitment represents a new level of quality, comfort and savings for our customers by providing them with a high-performance home and a reduced carbon footprint,” Sullivan says.

“We’re proud of the partnerships we’ve created with industry leading companies who share our vision and enable us to stay

on the cutting edge of trends, technology and efficiency.”

Additionally, Beazer’s Energy Series READY homes are ENERGY STAR® certified and Indoor airPLUS® qualified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Behind the walls of each Beazer home are innovative, energy-efficient features to improve home performance and maintain ideal temperatures, giving homeowners control over their comfort. Each home is designed to filter indoor air, which reduces outside pollutants like mold and toxic chemicals. This means healthier living with improved air quality and comfort.

BRIDGET BALLARD STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

Bridget Ballard’s love of writing has paid off in a big way, and at a young age.

“I am in eighth grade at Noblesville West Middle School on Team Gateway, and in sixth grade, my short story titled ‘Wings’ was published in author Peter H. Reynolds’ HUTCH literary magazine,” Ballard says. “‘Wings’ is about a wingless dragon named Teng who realizes that even without wings, he is still worthwhile. In addition to being published in HUTCH, Peter sent my story to his friend and fellow author, Kate DiCamillo. I had never felt so alive.”

The following year, Ballard’s short story “Free” received Butler University’s Booth Tarkington Prize for middle school prose, and was published in their Blueprints anthology.

“‘Free’ is a heartfelt piece inspired by a personal family loss, and I couldn’t have been prouder to see it recognized,” Ballard says. “That year, I also entered the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, a writing contest for grades seven through 12. I was so

honored and surprised that my fantasy short story ‘A Rat’s Tale’ received a Gold Key rating, something that very few middle schoolers receive. I also received a Silver Key and Honorable Mention for another short story and poetry submission.”

Ballard would like to pursue more writing.

“Ever since first grade, I’ve known that my future holds more stories,” Ballard says. “Writing, for me, is like my heart. I can’t live without it. Stories help me to connect with both myself and others. I am determined to be an author when I grow up, and in the meantime I will continue submitting to writing contests and publication opportunities like the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. My hope is that one day my stories will change the world for the better.”

Ballard is also an accomplished dancer.

“I have been training at Ballerinas Academy of Dance in Noblesville for 11 years,” she says. “Ballet is my primary focus, but I also currently train in lyrical, modern and tap. Dance is an artistic way to gain strength and flexibility, but it also teaches important life skills such as patience and perseverance. For

me, dance is another creative outlet. I love being able to tell stories through movement, as well as through my words. I feel that ballet is the most powerful style of dance. It commonly tells a story with fantastical elements such as ghosts, fairies and unique magic systems. Ballet is one of the few things that stops me from writing in my room all day.”

Ballard is also involved in other school activities.

“I participate in Books and Bites, a club that meets once a week over lunch to talk about books,” Ballard says. “It is hosted by Mrs. Seago, our school librarian, and Brianna, a librarian from the Hamilton East Public Library. Books and Bites is a way to connect with other people who love books as much as I do, and I look forward to it every week.”

Ballard also participates in Best Buddies, an organization that works to connect students with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities together.

“I feel that we all deserve to know that we are valued and important, regardless of our differences,” Ballard says. “My former sixth-

grade language arts teacher, Mrs. McKean, organizes Best Buddies meetings after school at West once a month. Noblesville West Middle School also provides opportunities for students to assist in the life-skills classroom during a diversified arts period. I am honored to be part of this Peer Assistance program, and it is one of my favorite school activities. I consider all the students I work with to be true friends, and I am so thankful for opportunities like Best Buddies and Peer Assistance to bring these types of friendships into my life.”

Ballard enjoys school.

“I have always loved school, as it forces me to stop being antisocial and to connect with my peers,” Ballard says. “School teaches me how to focus and confidently meet deadlines - skills that I will need as an author. Learning new things and meeting new people sparks creativity, and I often get story inspiration from things that happen during class or topics we study. My favorite part of school is forming relationships with friends and teachers - people who are more

special to me than they will ever know.”

Ballard says she loves Noblesville.

“I love the supportive community within Noblesville schools,” Ballard says. “Teachers have not only helped me in their classes, but they have also encouraged me to continue writing from a very young age. I feel that this helped me to gain confidence as both a writer and person in general. I also am thankful for the opportunities at the Hamilton East Public Library such as Scribe Circle, writing contests and the TeenZone. I just started attending Scribe Circle, and I am excited to get more involved in that part of the Noblesville writing community.”

Ballard also finds time for horseback riding.

“I have been around horses for most of my life, and horseback riding is one of my favorite things to do when I am not writing or dancing,” Ballard says. “When I turn 14 I plan to begin volunteering at Agape Therapeutic Riding. This is another opportunity to connect with horses and

people with disabilities.”

Ballard goes out of her way to find time for writing.

“Over the summer I woke up early every morning at 7 a.m. to write for at least an hour,” Ballard says. “Writing helps me ground myself emotionally, and a good writing session almost always guarantees a good day. I wrote dozens of short stories and a novella in verse this summer. I am eager to revise my favorites and send them out into the world as opportunities arise.”

Ballard also has other writing plans.

“This year I am excited to participate in National Novel Writing Month and draft a novel within 30 days during November,” Ballard says. “Looking forward, I cannot wait to continue improving my writing at Noblesville High school through various coursework and activities. I couldn’t be more grateful for the support within the Noblesville community, both for my writing and who I am as a person.”

A BIG WIN

WOMEN IN NOBLESVILLE CHAMPIONS LOCAL WOMEN IN BUSINESS

Writer / Amy Adams

In 2014, Kathy Young and Neilia Brown got together with others to talk about ways to support local businesswomen. Out of that first meeting, Women In Noblesville (WIN) was born as an initiative of the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce.

“Our focus is on educating and connecting women of Noblesville,” says Young, vicepresident of commercial banking at First Merchants Bank.

Over the past 10 years, WIN has held Lunch and Learn gatherings, Wine and Wisdom evenings, full-day conferences, book clubs and more.

“Women ask me, ‘How can I become a member?’” Young says. “We don’t really have membership.”

They do have a committee which Young cochairs with Brown, owner of The Business Builders. Current committee members include Abbi Cassady, Deirdre Fisher, Tammy Murray and Amanda Rubeck. The committee will be holding a planning retreat in November and beginning to recruit.

“We’re looking for young professionals who are wanting to build connections,” Young says.

Currently, WIN hosts Coffee and Connect on the second Wednesday of every month from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. at Sagamore Golf Club. The come-and-go event is free for members of the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce and $10 for nonmembers.

“We are always looking to attract a diverse community,” Brown says.

On most Wednesday mornings, about a third of the attendees are new, and committee members make an effort to find new people and introduce them around. “You don’t feel like a stranger,” Brown says.

WIN committee members are also intentional about promoting local women in business. Recent visits include new businesses like ISI Elite Training, Camino & Company, and Camp Bow Wow.

Last year, WIN established the Woman of Impact Award and Leadership Luncheon. Open to nominations of women who live or work in Noblesville, the award is given to someone who is making an impact in the community through stewardship, service, leadership and compassion.

Anita Hagen, president of Hamilton County Harvest Food Bank, received the inaugural award. This year, WIN honored Julia

Kozicki, partner with Church Church Hittle & Antrim, at a sold-out event at Mustard Seed Gardens, complete with bubbly, alcohol-free “WINmosas.”

Without membership numbers, some might wonder how WIN measures impact.

“It’s not just about the number of people in the seats,” Young says.

There have been women who have met through WIN and gone into business together. At least one woman was inspired by the group to start a business she had been imagining. Another woman reported that she had come to an event expecting to network, but felt like she had made new friends. “That’s the best, when someone comes out of one of our events and has learned something and made connections,” Brown says.

This month’s Coffee and Connect on October 11 will highlight National Women’s Small Business Month. Area women can register at noblesvillechamber.com/ events. Follow the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce on Facebook and LinkedIn for details about a spring event to celebrate the 10th anniversary of WIN.

ASHLIN HADDEN INSURANCE GETS YOUR POLICY - and Peace of MindTAKEN CARE OF

Writer / Renee Larr Photographer / Justin Sicking

Never make the mistake of telling Ashlin Hadden she can’t do something, because her sheer determination to prove you wrong will spur her to succeed.

In 2013 Hadden was feeling burned out by her career path. At a friend’s request, Hadden reluctantly went to an interview at a large insurance company.

“I wasn’t really interested in the insurance industry, but I went to the interview to help my friend,” Hadden says. “During the interview, the gentleman who interviewed me told me it was a man’s industry, and men would outsell me every day. I took great offense to that and basically took the job to prove him wrong.”

And prove him wrong she did. During her first year she earned incredible accolades, including rookie of the year, top representative in the state of Indiana and third-place representative in the company. For a job she didn’t want at the time, Hadden excelled at the insurance game.

“I fell in love with it,” Hadden says. “I had an elderly client come to me with horrible coverage from another agency. I explained to her the $50,000 in coverage she had wouldn’t go far if she was ever in an accident. She didn’t realize the coverage she had wasn’t enough. Two years later she got in a terrible accident. She would have come out of pocket $200,000 if she had that same coverage. That’s where I fell in love with the industry - helping make sure we protect people’s assets.”

After working for a large insurance company, Hadden felt the need to step out on her own. She felt she wasn’t able to offer all the choices and products her clients needed, so she decided to start her own insurance agency. Once again, she was told she couldn’t do it.

“I had a family member tell me women

“MY TEAM IS ALL WOMEN RETURNING TO THE WORKFORCE OR WOMEN WHO WORKED FOR MEN AND DIDN’T FEEL APPRECIATED. TO HAVE ALL THESE AMAZING, DYNAMIC WOMEN IN THE OFFICE IS AMAZING.”

— ASHLIN HADDEN

don’t own their own businesses,” Hadden says. “In my head I’m thinking, once again ‘I’m going to prove you wrong. I’ve done it before, and I’ll do it again.’ In 2016 I started Ashlin Hadden Insurance.”

In seven years Ashlin Hadden Insurance has grown by leaps and bounds. She now employs 16 women at her company. She felt compelled to provide strong female leadership to other women in her exact same situation.

“I came from the banking industry and it was all men,” Hadden says. “Then being told insurance is a man’s industry, I think I just naturally gravitated toward strong women. My team is all women returning to the workforce or women who worked for men and didn’t feel appreciated. To have all these amazing, dynamic women in the office is amazing.”

insurance products such as personal lines, commercial lines and life insurance. Her passion is for finding a way to protect the assets of her customers.

While Hadden serves clients nationwide, her hometown community is always paramount. The Noblesville resident says she’s committed to assisting residents who need it most. She publishes a free online magazine called Our Hometown, which is full of recipes, fun articles and uplifting noninsurance-related content. In 2022 Hadden and her like-minded team created You Too Ministries. It received nonprofit status in 2023.

“Each month we take a portion of all of our sales, and it goes into the nonprofit,” Hadden says. “Every single month we do something in the community. We have a Nominate a Neighbor campaign, where you can let us know if your neighbor needs a car payment paid or if their kids need back-toschool clothes. We’ve done Christmas trees

and presents. We’ve done all those types of things that are sometimes so small that there isn’t a program in the community that could help, but they need a little bit of assistance.”

Hadden loves the community where she lives and raises her kids. She says Ashlin Hadden Insurance is licensed in every state. She says she doesn’t want to lose any valued clients because life presented them with a move out of Indiana.

“We do focus a tremendous amount of our energy on women-owned businesses and local families,” Hadden says. “I remember how I felt when I was starting out. I want to ensure other women and families feel like their assets are protected, and feel they are supported.”

Ashlin Hadden Insurance is located at 10911 Greenfield Avenue in Noblesville. For more info, call 765-432-8989 or go to ashlinprotectsmyassets.com.
