CREATING A WINTER WELLNESS PLAN HANCOCK WELLNESS CENTER HELPS CLIENTS TAKE CHARGE OF THEIR HEALTH

Writer / Renee Larr Photography Provided

With the onslaught of holiday parties, meals and cocktails, many people seek to create a winter wellness plan going into the new year. It can feel overwhelming trying to figure out where to start. Hancock Wellness Center in McCordsville offers support by creating a personalized exercise and nutrition plan.

“When a guest comes in, we offer them what we call a No Sweat Intro, where we discuss their goals, determine where they’re at currently, and decide what would be best for the client,” says Sam Roeschlein, exercise specialist. “We make a plan customized to each person. We offer group classes and personal training as well.”

Many people struggle with seasonal affective disorder or the winter blues during the winter months. Roeschlein says it’s 8 / GEIST MAGAZINE / JANUARY 2023 / TownePost.com

imperative to have a plan to stay active, even when weather changes keep us inside the house more often.

“A lot of people aren’t doing the same day-to-day activities like mowing the grass or just walking outside,” he says. “So getting into the gym, even if it’s to walk on the treadmill or lift some weights, helps tremendously. Every time you work out, you’re proving to yourself you can do it.”

A large part of a winter wellness plan at Hancock Wellness Center involves sitting down with a nutritionist to discuss a food plan. When clients come in, they complete a nutrition questionnaire that includes their nutrition goals, typical meals they consume, medical and weight history, and allergies. The session is tailored to their specific needs.

“We discuss what their lifestyle looks like, and work together to create a plan and set goals that will help them move towards their goals,” says Michelle Graves, certified health and wellness coach, dietitian and nutritionist. “I will often have clients log their food intake using an app that connects the two of us, so we can run nutrition reports to see where their macronutrients and micronutrients land. I can then provide them with guidance and recommendations.

Also, I usually discuss the benefits of meal planning and how proactively planning meals can help you stay on track. We can bill insurance for this service, and some insurance companies may cover the cost as part of their preventative health benefits.”

Graves says the holidays can be a challenging time for some people, both mentally and physically. Creating a plan and having accountability from a professional, family or friends can be helpful during this season. She also advises her clients about incorporating fruits and vegetables into their winter diets.

“Fresh fruits and vegetables aren’t as readily available in the winter,” Graves says.

“However, it is important to continue to consume them as they are packed full of nutrition, which can provide many health benefits. I would choose frozen veggies as the next option since they are more readily available. You can cook them in different ways and use them in various recipes.

Canned fruits and veggies are also an option.

With these options, I would drain the liquid off the veggies to remove some sodium and choose fruits in their own juice.”

Hancock Wellness Center is located at 8505 North Clearview Drive in McCordsville.

Keefer announced his retirement. Like many others, Giffin assumed Keefer would keep coaching forever. “It just seems like that was kind of an institution here,” he says. “They had a good year last year - a really good year. He did a great job as always.” Giffin says he’d never thought about stepping into the role of head coach for the boys team, and didn’t think he’d ever have the opportunity. “I really, really loved my time on the girls side as the head coach there, and the relationships developed there,” he says.

Giffin met with Keefer before accepting the position. He says he wanted to be sure that the retirement was Keefer’s choice. He had a candid conversation with Keefer and Keefer’s wife. The legendary coach gave Giffin his blessing. “I figured they would because we had had a great relationship when I worked for him, and shared ideas and supported each other when I was on the girls side,” he says. “It wasn’t surprising by any means that he supported me or gave

Giffin had a lot of success on the girls side. He feels that one of his strengths is building relationships, and he will try to continue that on the boys side. He says he has an excellent staff, several of whom are holdovers from Keefer’s staff.

The bar is set high, but he’s excited about the opportunity. He believes the boys team will be very competitive and continue to be a strong team that does it the right way.

There’s no replacing Keefer. Giffin knows that. He says he’s focused on trying to be the best version of himself. “I’m going to bring the best qualities and attributes that I have, many of which are similar to or have been learned from Coach Keefer and Coach Knight and others, to continue with the basketball excellence,” he says.

Giffin says he is humbled and flattered to have been offered the job. He’s grateful for the opportunity. He says he doesn’t lose sight of the fact that he wouldn’t have this opportunity if it wasn’t for Keefer allowing him to be a part of his staff in so many different roles, and learn at his side.

“I’m very grateful for that,” he says. “To be only the second coach in a school that’s been around since 1976, that’s pretty surreal. I’m very, very hopeful that we can do a good job and can continue on the rich tradition that Coach Keefer has put in place.”

TAKING THE PLUNGE TWO FISHERS ORGANIZATIONS TEAM UP FOR INAUGURAL POLAR BEAR PLUNGE AT GEIST Writer / Noah Alatza Photographer / Brian Brosmer

14 / GEIST MAGAZINE / JANUARY 2023 / TownePost.com

A

n inaugural Polar Bear Plunge is in the works, which will benefit two local organizations.

The event is being planned and hosted in conjunction with both the Fishers Youth Mentoring Initiative (YMI) and Fishers Youth Assistance Program (YAP). It is scheduled for February 11 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the newly developed Geist Waterfront Park.

The YAP originally came to the community in 2014. The organization targets children aged 3 through 17 via referrals from schools.

They then identify caregivers for each unique situation and work to bring a vast amount of resources to each family.

Trisha Straus, an early intervention advocate with the YAP, says this event will help to continue developing initiatives, and also continue the hard work the organization puts into the community every day.

“This is the start of something that the community can be involved with for years to come,” Straus says. “This is a collaborative effort between two organizations serving Fishers for the past 10 years, and we decided to do something together to show the community who we are.”

Straus says Dee Chandler, an early intervention advocate, has also been instrumental in helping to organize the event.

“We would like to walk alongside these families for months and not just resolve their situation in a couple days or weeks,” Straus says. “Sometimes it’s as simple as providing resources, and other times I’ve got families I work with through graduation.”

TownePost.com / JANUARY 2023 / GEIST MAGAZINE / 15

The event is the brainchild of Fishers Fire Chief Steve Orusa, according to Brittany Rayburn, YMI executive director.

“YMI and YAP work together so often in community but we have never done a joint fundraiser, and I think this also provides a great opportunity to raise awareness for both of our organizations,” Rayburn says.

“For both of us to participate in one event is truly incredible, and what better place than at the new Geist Waterfront Park.”

Rayburn says coffee, hot chocolate and doughnuts will be on hand, and they are also bringing in a DJ. She says the event is something new for the Fishers community, and organization members are hopeful they can make it a yearly tradition.

“We really want this to be a fun time to celebrate YMI and YAP, and all for a good cause,” she says.

YMI operates through Hamilton

Southeastern Schools, and provides students in grades five through 12 with volunteer mentors that meet one-on-one with their mentee once per week during the school year.

“This event is really paramount to both of our missions,” Rayburn says. “To rally around youth-serving organizations and any fundraiser is awesome, and raises the profile, which helps a lot of families out there who don’t know we exist. It helps to spread the word and let people know what we do, and we can use this as an opportunity to continue raising that awareness.”

Ticket prices will vary between adults and students, and will include an event T-shirt.

All proceeds will benefit both the YAP and YMI, and the organizations will split the funds 50-50.

Sponsorship opportunities are still available by emailing brittany@ymionline.org. To register for the event visit runsignup.com/ Race/IN/Fishers/FishersPolarBearPlunge.

NO PLACE LIKE HOME LAWRENCE TOWNSHIP SCHOOL FOUNDATION CELEBRATES 40TH ANNIVERSARY

Writer / Matt Keating Photography Provided

The Lawrence Township School Foundation (LTSF) is celebrating its 40th anniversary by taking a trip down the yellow brick road.

Executive Director Jen S. Gibbs says foundation members agreed that a “Wizard of Oz” theme would be wonderful.

“In ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ Dorothy clicks together her ruby heels and says, ‘There’s no place like home,’” Gibbs says. “The LTSF kicks off their ruby anniversary of 40 years on March 10, 2023, with a themed celebration entitled, ‘There’s No Place Like Lawrence Township.’ ” The LTSF was founded in 1983 by educational leaders and community visionaries.

“The LTSF has raised millions of dollars to support critical educational programs and student needs,” Gibbs says.

Mike Gibson, board president of the LTSF, says the organization is the philanthropic arm of Lawrence Township schools. “We connect community and classrooms to empower students to excel,” Gibson says. “That mission started back in 1983 and continues as we enter the new year. That is worthy of a celebration.”

Gibbs notes that the foundation is inviting the Lawrence Township community to follow the yellow brick road to the Indiana Roof Ballroom on March 10, 2023, and join the LTSF for one magical evening of celebration. “It will be an anniversary party with a purpose,” Gibbs says. “The foundation will honor, at the celebration and throughout the year, the hearts, brains and courage that paved the path for LTSF’s 40-year legacy.”

Gibbs says that Natalie Thomison, LTSF marketing and event specialist, has begun collecting anecdotes and stories from

LTSF founders, past board members, retired teachers and staff, community members, and other influential groups as they reflect upon the last 40 years of the foundation.

“Throughout the year the foundation hopes to capture and highlight all the big wins, important memories and heartwarming stories of impact that have brought LTSF to this milestone,” Gibbs says. “Join the celebration and share your LTSF story by contacting Natalie at 317-423-8303 or nataliethomison@msdlt.k12.in.us.

Sharing our collective history points us toward the future. Starting at the celebration, LTSF will be extending invitations throughout the year, to begin laying the brickwork for empowering the next student generations to shine.”

The focus will be on deepening community connection and involvement, while growing the ways the LTSF supports students’ short-term needs and long-term development.

“Constituents throughout Lawrence Township have worked shoulder to shoulder to support Lawrence Township students for the last 40 years,” Gibbs says. “Together, foundation supporters have helped students find their vocation. They’ve helped send students to college and vocational training. They’ve helped ignite student learning and empower their progress. They’ve helped feed, clothe and provide resources to students as they grow.”

Community members have given their volunteer time, support and donations.

“Imagine what we can do together in the next 40 years with a community as powerful as this,” Gibbs says. “With this community of support, as it is stated in ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ the dreams that we dare to dream really do come true. There’s no place like Lawrence Township.”
