The Indiana School Counselor Association has named Connie Sivertson the 2021 School Counselor of the Year. Co-chairman of the Lawrence North High School counseling department, Sivertson was humbled and surprised when she was notified of the honor. She looks forward to using the platform to highlight mental health awareness.

“I was blown away when I got the phone call that I had won the award,” she says. “It was surreal. It seemed like one of the things that other people get. I feel grateful but my philosophy is all about the team approach.

No one can be great unless everyone is great, and between all nine counselors at Lawrence North, there is someone for every student, every time.”

Originally from North Dakota, Sivertson has been an educator for 31 years. After graduating from college, she and her husband attended a job fair where around 20 schools from the western United States were represented. Both were interested in Yuma, Arizona, and accepted teaching jobs there. Six years later, after the birth of their first child, they decided it was time to move back to the Midwest.

CONNIE SIVERTSON NAMED 2021 INDIANA SCHOOL COUNSELOR OF THE YEAR 8 / GEIST MAGAZINE / MARCH 2021 / atGeist.com

“I had just finished my counselor’s degree and had a sister living in Carmel,” Sivertson says. “I got a job as a counselor at Craig Middle School. When it closed in 2010, I had been a counselor for 14 years so I was offered a position at another middle school, Fall Creek Valley. Then I found out a counselor was retiring at Lawrence North and I decided to try high school. I absolutely love high school. It’s beyond rewarding to be part of the students’ journey, and see them blossoming as the world opens as they take classes available to them. It’s really thrilling when they graduate and come out of high school as young adults.”

Sivertson also serves as an adjunct professor at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. She teaches individual appraisement to future counselors. The opportunity to stress the importance of

mental health comes up in her class.

“A school counselor is not just a person who creates class schedules,” she says. “They are highly trained mental health professionals.

I SUPPORT THE GIRLS INTERNATIONAL NONPROFIT PROVIDES SUPPORT FOR HOMELESS & LOW-INCOME WOMEN

National Director of Affiliate Outreach Rachael Heger

She has taken what she calls a “hypothetical hobby” and become an accidental advocate in two significant areas — one is homelessness and dignity for girls and the other is menstrual health management and menstrual hygiene for homeless and lowincome women – both are critical in helping women restore their dignity during a very devastating time.

Ask Rachael Heger about her career as the National Director of Affiliate Outreach for the international nonprofit, I Support the Girls, and she will tell you that she fell into the job by accident. What started out as a New Year’s resolution to collect 3,500 bras by her 35th birthday in January 2016 has turned into her life’s work.

Looking ahead to 2021, Heger is hopeful.

CELEBRATING INCLUSION

FISHERS HONORING DISABILITY AWARENESS WITH EVENTS THROUGHOUT MARCH Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing Photography Provided by Amy Payne & the City of Fishers

Every March, the Indiana Governor’s Council for People with Disabilities sends out information and resources throughout the state to heighten awareness about intellectual and physical disabilities. Ever since Fishers became a city in 2016, the Fishers Advisory Committee on Disability (FACD) and the City of Fishers celebrate Disability Awareness Month with a series of special events and programs, designed to let the public know what life is like for those with disabilities.

This year’s theme is “Building Our Inclusive Community.” To celebrate, the FACD is producing a video montage that spotlights

the collaborations occurring among city leaders, business owners, community partners, the disability community, and direct-service providers.

“We’re highlighting the things we’ve done to build awareness and bring more opportunities for employment, social life, accommodations, and accessibility for the people of Fishers who have intellectual and developmental disabilities,” says Cecilia Coble, Fishers City Council president and FACD co-chair.

“As a community, we lean into being vibrant, entrepreneurial, forward-thinking and inclusive,” adds Kelly Hartman, FACD co-chair. “I think it’s really an amazing testament to the leadership of our city MARCH 2021

that we take the time to celebrate that and see the goodness in folks with disabilities, people who employ those with disabilities, and people who include people with disabilities in all facets of our community.

Fishers is a place all people get to live, play, love, and be a part of a community that celebrates all that.”

Unfortunately, due to the global pandemic, most of the month-long events are virtual, including the kickoff event on March 1, which includes keynote speaker Ben Trockman, diversity and inclusion specialist at Old National Bank.

The FACD has partnered with OneZone, the local Chamber of Commerce, to empower local employers to hire individuals

with disabilities.

“We’ve had relationships with employers here in Fishers, but this opens it up even deeper to the Hamilton County community at large,” Coble says. “We’re super excited about that.”

According to Hartman, the pre-COVID unemployment rate among citizens in Fishers was well under 3% month after month. Hamilton County is typically in the bottom five or six counties in the state for unemployment.

“What people don’t realize is that we have folks with disabilities who have skills and are employable, and the unemployment rate amongst folks who are qualified to be working is around 70%,” Hartman says. “In these times folks definitely have gaps in the jobs they are able to accomplish with their current workforce - particularly in the service industry like hotels and restaurants.”

In 2018 the Advisory Committee formed the Fishers Disability Inclusion in the Workplace Business Networking

Group, to connect Fishers businesses to potential job candidates. On March 10, members of the Advisory Committee and the Networking Group will present “Expanding Your Applicant Pool: Exploring the Untapped Workforce” at OneZone’s business luncheon. Kylee Hope, the director of Indiana’s Division of Disability and Rehabilitative Services, will share a global perspective on employing individuals with physical and developmental disabilities.

“We’ll share success stories of employers and employees around the Fishers and Carmel areas,” Coble says.

To celebrate Disability Awareness Month, the Fishers PRISM Project (developed by Ball State University) will perform a virtual show. In addition, an inclusive rhythmic gymnastics group will perform.

“We work together to provide opportunities, whether it’s through the arts, athletics, education, or social,” Coble says.

“We want the community to know we have a lot of resources here in Fishers.”

MARCH 2021

On March 12 there will be a “Celebration of Inclusion through Art” event at Conner Prairie. There’s a reverse job fair scheduled at Grace Church on March 23. This is an opportunity for people with disabilities to pass their resumes along to employers in the community. Another popular event is “My Point of View Day,” where people with disabilities have breakfast with the mayor, elected officials and city staff to participate in a roundtable discussion about the challenges they face.

“It’s very impactful,” Coble says. “Through those discussions, the Fishers Advisory Committee on Disability works on initiatives and collaborations with all of our partners to try and move the ball forward.”

In addition to Hamilton East Public Library’s events and programs that celebrate Disability Awareness Month, the City of Fishers has launched a city lifestyle website called “This is Fishers.” Every Wednesday in March, it will highlight a different story of an organization or individual related to inclusion. The city’s social media network will also share statistics related to

disabilities, frequently asked questions, resources, videos and photos.

In September of 2020 the Thrive Social Club, an inclusive social club for individuals 18 and older, was formed due to the stress and isolation of the pandemic.

“Once someone with a disability ages out of high school, they can feel a lot of isolation because those friendships and organized events are no longer available as an adult,” says Coble, noting that the club, which meets weekly via Zoom, has been hosting lots of fun events like dance parties, bingo and scavenger hunts.

Throughout the past year, the FACD and the City of Fishers have helped to solidify the first-ever affordable and accessible housing initiative in Fishers - SouthPointe Village Apartments.

“We were able to do that through making a commitment between the developer of that affordable housing and the disability community, providing a specific number of units set aside for the workforce and a specific number of units set aside for people with disabilities,” Hartman says.

“People can age in their own community and not have to move to Marion County because they want to move out of their parents’ house. This is just another way that Fishers is looking to be a city for all people.”

The City of Fishers offices are located at 1 Municipal Drive. For more information, call 317-595-3111 or visit fishers.in.us.

LET’S GET COOKIN’ NEW SAHM EATERY HOSS BAR & GRILL OPENS ON EAST 96TH STREET

Owner Eddie Sahm

“We had to consolidate a little bit, and get our bearings at that point,” says Sahm, who, along with his father Ed, co-owns and operates a family of restaurants including The Roost, Rockstone Pizzeria & Pub, Big Lug Can-teen and several Sahm’s eatery locations. “We knew it was going to change the way our business functions. We’re pretty well represented in Fishers, so we had to consolidate as we were changing to focus more on delivery and carry-out, and the marketplace we put together.”

Writer / Jon Shoulders Photographer / Brian Brosmer

Hoss Bar & Grill, the new establishment at East 96th Street and Hague Road that opened in February, is named after coowner Eddie Sahm’s grandfather William Sahm’s nickname. In addition to this homage to his family legacy, Sahm says the restaurant itself is a reflection of what his grandfather represented.

“My grandfather passed away before I was born, and my dad was about 13 at that time, so I never knew him, but he’s kind of this

larger-than-life figure that everybody knew,” Sahm explains. “He was head of the Catholic Youth Organization in Indianapolis, and did a lot of work with local parks. They named a park after him when he passed away. He meant a lot to a lot of people in Indianapolis because of his kindness. I wanted to con-tinue his sense of generosity and contribution with the restaurant.”

Shortly after the pandemic took hold in March of 2020, Sahm says he and his team permanently closed Sahm’s Bar & Grill, the establishment that formerly operated where Hoss now sits.

MARCH 2021

Sahm describes the food at Hoss, headed up by Chef Blake Ellis, as hav-ing an “elevated highway pit-stop feel,” and the menu includes some unique creations like a Captain Crunch fried chicken sandwich with a crisp and lightly sweet crust, as well as a vegetarian casserole, smothered chicken, mashed potatoes and more. The dessert menu features peach cobbler, soft serve, and a Hoss Sundae, which is made with Count Chocu-la and Cocoa Puffs cereals.

“We have a really unique burger - what you see right now at a lot of places is a smashed

burger with a thin, crisp patty, and they’re great, but we’re doing our Hoss Burger, which is big, thick and juicy,” Sahm says.

“There’s a vegetarian substitute too. We’re making our roll in-house, which very few people do. Hattie McDaniel, a baker here in Indy who’s awesome, is leading the charge developing that.”

The 100% indoor capacity at Hoss tops out at 196, while outdoor dining can accommodate up to 48 people at full capacity.

“We’ll be operating according to city mandates for seating, of course,” Sahm adds.

Sahm had begun to visualize the Hoss concept back in 2015, and after closing the doors to the 96th Street Sahm’s location, it was a matter of making that vision a reality.

“I had a rough vision for the design, and what the service style would be like,” he says. “I had ideas for how we would portray my grandfather’s legacy, and the style of food that was a little bit more upscale than what we were doing - a more elevated type of bar food - and was an homage to the highway diner style that we all know, with big plates of food with no frills.”

He feels that despite the pandemic, the timing is favorable for the eatery’s opening.

“We’re hoping that as we open up and when we move into April and May, we’ll get a lot more outdoor activity where people want to space out out-side,” Sahm says. “We have a good patio here and we’ll have it ready to go by the end of March, with some additions.”

Sahm says COVID-19 has brought many challenges to all of his and his father’s

locations, but he and his staff members have adapted along the way.

“We’ve been able to maintain a good amount of our staff through all of this, and were able to receive some Paycheck Protection Program money, and now it’s just time to get this new concept going as the summer comes,” he says. “I think the timing lines up pretty well.”

Sahm hopes Hoss Bar & Grill contributes to the ongoing growth of the Fishers area as what he feels is a diverse, vibrant community.

“Whether it’s places like Four Day Ray, or organizations like The Yard, so many people are putting so much effort into creating this movement around identifying Fishers as a unique place that’s gearing for the future and growing,” he says. “That’s something I’ve admired, and was something my dad did back in the 80s. He was always promoting Fishers and doing what he could to help schools and churches here.

I consider this res-taurant just part of my contribution to that.”

Hoss Bar & Grill is located at 7870 East 96th Street in Fishers. For more information, call 317-841-3014 or visit hossbarandgrill.com.

SMITH FAMILY REALTY create our own brand and have control of the marketing and business decisions.

Mother-Daughter Duo Paula & Melissa Smith

“Melissa joining in 2018 made starting my own business an easy decision as we were able to work flawlessly together even while she maintained another career at the beginning,” Paula adds.

this is not the case for one local motherdaughter duo.

Hard work and putting their clients first over the past 17 years is turning their real estate business into a new brand – their own brokerage firm. After spending their entire lives on the northeast side of Indianapolis and giving back to this wonderful community, this mother-daughter duo has started their own real estate company and are working together full time. Now, they are ready to add you to their real estate family!

Paula Smith has been a Realtor for the past 17 years to include being awarded the Angie’s List Super Service Award for the past 11 years as well as the 5 Star Real Estate Award. A few years ago, her daughter, Melissa Smith, joined her real estate group.

In 2020, they decided they were ready to venture out and create their own local real estate company, Smith Family Realty.

The mother-daughter bond can be strong but starting a business together can introduce a whole new fabulous dimension to their relationship. Although a business relationship can be challenging at times,

“I was already doing the majority of the work of a managing broker and now had my daughter working at my side,” Paula says. “I just didn’t have the credentials. So, I took the managing broker class and as a family, we decided it made the most sense for us to start our own company, where we could MARCH 2021

“Previously, I was teaching and, at first, I loved it,” Melissa says. “With time, I decided I wanted to do something different.

Naturally, after some thought and many conversations, I took the summer of 2018 to get my real estate license. For a few years, I did both. Eventually, after teaching during the day and coming home in the evening to work my real estate job, I decided that I wanted to do real estate full time.”

Melissa believes her background in teaching carries over into her real estate career.

“Real estate doesn’t feel like work to me,” Melissa says. “I enjoy the whole process including teaching people about buying and selling a home. A lot of my friends are still buying their first home, so in a way, I am able to teach them about the process and show them beautiful homes at the same time. I love being a source of information and educating people. I have been training to do this job since the age of 12 and didn’t even realize it.”

Paula is proud of starting her woman-owned business. Smith Family Realty is a small, woman-owned business with homegrown, Central Indiana Realtors who will provide

personal, professional and authentic service throughout your home buying and/or selling experience that is easy, comfortable and ultimately enjoyable.

have joined our family for years to come.”

“I feel this is extremely important because I am showing my daughters and others in my life what can be accomplished,” Paula says.

“The fact that I began and am managing Smith Family Realty on my own is very important to me and exhibits setting a goal and going after it.”

“David recently started in the industry after previously working in the EMS field,” Paula says. “His primary area of focus is the southside of Indianapolis. Melissa and I have been working in the entire greater Indianapolis metropolitan area but hope to hone in our services to Marion, Hamilton, Hancock, Boone, and other northern surrounding counties.”

The company’s motto is “Personal Real Estate Service, from Start to Finish.”

“We want everyone we work with to become part of our Smith Family Realty family,” Paula says. “We’re not going to just stop communication once the deal is done.

We continue that relationship throughout all aspects of our clients’ lives. And we hope that those who work with us feel like they

The company also includes David Lehenbauer.

The mother and daughter are eager to continue working together as a team at Smith Family Realty for years to come.

“It’s been really fun working together,” Paula says. “We’re a really good team. We communicate with each other very well.

I think we’re willing to say things to each

other that sometimes co-workers would feel uncomfortable saying, we always have each other’s back and are willing to help out whenever and wherever needed.”

Melissa enjoys the team aspect of working with her mother, too.

“It’s really nice knowing you have someone who is always on your side,” she says.

“Mom knows I am always on her side and I know she’s on mine. It’s not always like that in all businesses. There can be a lot of competition. When working with my mother, we are certainly a dynamic duo and a force to be reckoned with.”

Paula, Melissa and David look forward to further deepening their roots in Central Indiana, getting to know more clients in the years to come and growing their business to be one of the most recognizable and reliable real estate brokerage firms in the area.

LAWRENCE CENTRAL BASKETBALL COACH AL GOODEN REACHES 500 CAREER VICTORIES

30 / GEIST MAGAZINE / MARCH 2021 / atGeist.com

atGeist.com / MARCH 2021 / GEIST MAGAZINE / 31

“I haven’t even thought about it,” he says of win number 500. “At the end of the day, you still have to go out and compete, and the challenges are still there, no matter what you’ve done in the past or what achievements you’ve made. You’ve got to focus on what you’re doing now. That’s how I look at it.”

Writer / Jon Shoulders Photographer / Brian Brosmer

Al Gooden, head coach of the Lawrence Central High School boys varsity basketball team, recently secured his 500th victory as a head coach - a major achievement in a coaching career that spans more than three decades.

He’s been at the helm of Lawrence Central’s varsity boys team since 2014, and win number 500 came on January 12, when the Bears defeated Decatur Central 58-38 in the first round of the Marion County tournament.

Be that as it may, Gooden would rather not focus on such milestones. He’s too busy grinding it out game after game, doing everything he can to make sure his players give everything they have out on the floor.

It’s an approach that has apparently worked considerably well for the Fort Wayne native and Wayne High School grad. Throughout his time coaching ball in the state of Indiana, Gooden has led his various squads to 10 sectional titles, six regional titles and a 2001 Class 2A state championship.

to the state championship and won a Class 2A state title in 2001 (he brought Harding back to the state finals a year later).

Next came a three-year stint as coach at New Haven High School after Harding officially closed its doors, and Gooden was able to secure two sectional titles during those three years.

“I like to focus on all the fundamentals, but defense and rebounding I like to stress to the kids, because if you rebound and stick to tight defense, you’ll be in the fight by the end of any basketball game,” Gooden says of his coaching philosophy. “Regardless of if you’re playing pickup ball, alley ball, or a big He was a successful player in his own right, championship game, those are things you having helped Wayne High School to its first have to learn to do.” sectional wins in 1976 and 1977.

We do miss the crowds though. It’s been challenging, but the kids have handled it pretty well. We’ve tried to stay isolated as much as we can, and the kids have been responsible with it.”

Gooden adds that his team’s few seniors have demonstrated much-needed leadership for an otherwise young Lawrence Central team this season.

“We have a young group, and Greg Jenkins has been a great leader with [Dameriz] Merriweather,” he says. “I think every team needs a few guys like that - guys who can take the younger kids under their wing a little bit, and talk and answer questions as teammates.”

As Gooden journeys on to work toward wins beyond number 500, he insists that working day by day, and game by game, is a helpful approach.

“Every year is different and every year is special,” he says. “Of course winning the state championship was special, and the group I had that went back to the championship game that next year was a great group. Each year is special to the kids you have, and this year, like any other, we’ve been rebuilding the program and the kids have learned a lot. They’re a good group.”

500 wins might sound like a lot, but Gooden says he’s not quite done with coaching yet.

“I’m still having fun coaching, teaching kids and helping them learn lessons, all of it,” he says. “I’ve got some more years in me.” atGeist.com / MARCH 2021 / GEIST MAGAZINE / 33

CALLING ALL EDUCATORS MVCSC SEEKING SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS

Writer / Renee Larr Photography Provided

Mt. Vernon Community School Corporation (MVCSC) leaders are asking the community for help.

The school system is in need of substitute teachers. Keeping students learning in classrooms is a priority.

“Currently we’re offering on-site, in-person instruction Monday, Wednesday and Friday for our K through 8 students,” says Chris Smedley, assistant superintendent. “On Tuesdays and Thursdays we offer virtual learning. We’re offering the hybrid schedule Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at the high school, with Thursday being a virtual day for the students.”

absences with our support.”

Educators are having to take time off for various reasons, including but not limited to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Certainly we’re seeing the routine reasons why educators would have to miss school - things like having a sick child at home or having the flu,” Smedley says. “We’re also seeing teachers who may have been exposed to COVID, or a family member has been potentially exposed. Unfortunately, the pandemic itself has just added another significant layer of why team members need to be out.”

In order to help expedite the process, new substitute teachers are being offered incentives to apply. Applicants do have to meet certain requirements and go through the application process.

“It’s important from the standpoint of being able to continue to open our doors for operation,” Smedley says. “Virtual works, but obviously nothing is better than the inperson experience. It takes the substitute to help provide a safe learning environment.

Truly our main goal is to provide a safe and healthy learning environment for all of our students.”

Potential substitutes must have a high school diploma and be over the age of 21 to work at the high school.

“Subs are paid $85 a day and offered monetary incentives,” Smedley says.

Potential subs will be treated as part of the MVCSC family.

“The other day I was speaking with other employees in the school system and almost all of them, unprompted, told me how much they loved working for our schools,” “The first thing a potential sub would need says Maria Bond, director of community to do is schedule a meeting with Kelly relations. “Our students are pretty amazing, Services,” Smedley says. “Kelly Services will “For the most part, we were operating at full walk them through how to obtain a substitute not only in who they are, but what they offer strength for most of the year up until around permit issued by the Indiana Department of to our community as well.”
