QUARTER CENTURY OF SMILES

THE WITTLER ORTHODONTICS TEAM LOOKS BACK ON 25 YEARS

As a middle schooler, Michelle Wittler knew she wanted to be an orthodontist when she grew up. Her orthodontic experience was similar to many others, but unlike other 13-year-olds, she knew it was the career she wanted to pursue for the rest of her life.

And years later, Dr. Michelle Wittler, DDS, MSD is celebrating her practice’s 25th anniversary in Westfield.

Wittler is a graduate of Bowling Green University in Ohio, where she studied to receive her chemistry degree. After a few years of working as a chemist at Eli Lilly, she couldn’t help feeling incomplete. She knew she wanted to do more, so she enrolled in the Indiana University School of Dentistry and received her Doctorate of Dental Surgery in 1995. In 1997 she completed her Master of Science degree in Orthodontics.

“I started my own practice from scratch coming out of my graduate program,” says Wittler. “I ended up in Westfield because after doing some research, I figured out there wasn’t an orthodontist available in the Westfield area.”

Westfield has been nothing short of an amazing experience for Wittler. After living and working here for 25 years, she has experienced tremendous amounts of support from the community.

“The people in Westfield just lift you up,” she says. “There are so many inspiring people here who are making a difference, and that’s why me and my family love being a part of this community.”

Wittler Orthodontics brings positive changes to the lives of their patients. Wittler and her team are able to create beautiful smiles and watch self-confidence blossom within every patient that goes through their doors. Overall, the business is a distinguished orthodontic practice - a Top Dentist designation from Indianapolis Monthly - where the team is constantly learning and patients are always happy.

“Our goal is to create an amazing orthodontic journey,” says Wittler. “It’s really hard to believe we’re celebrating 25 years. We’ve gone through so many changes, but I’m proud of the positive impact we’ve

had on our patients and our community.”

Julie Downs, practice administrator and 20year team member at Wittler Orthodontics, explains that the journey to a 25-year celebration is satisfying.

“Michelle takes her work to the next levels,” says Downs. “It’s so cool to see the relationship and value that Michelle and the rest of our team put into the kids we work with and their parents. It’s really important to her.”

Wittler Orthodontics is always accepting new patients. They are also proud to provide complimentary initial evaluations to new visitors. Testimonials, treatment options and additional orthodontic information is available at wittlerortho.com.

Wittler Orthodontics is located at 534 East State Road 32 in Westfield. You can reach them by calling 317-896-3444 or emailing info@wittlerortho.com. They are also on Facebook and Instagram.

Maggie Berghoff, an extensively trained functional medicine nurse practitioner, author, and serial entrepreneur, is bringing her knowledge and expertise to Westfield residents. The Fort Wayne native recently relocated from Nashville, Tennessee, with her husband and children.

Berghoff graduated from Vanderbilt University with a Bachelor of Arts and

THE WAY OF WELLNESS

CATCHING UP WITH RENOWNED AUTHOR, SPEAKER AND HEALTH CONSULTANT MAGGIE BERGHOFF

Science degree in medicine, health and society. She also obtained her Master of Science degree at the Vanderbilt School of Nursing. In her early 20s, Berghoff experienced symptoms she calls “pretty common but definitely not normal.”

“I was bloated all the time no matter what I ate,” Berghoff says. “I was exhausted no matter how long I slept. I was getting dizzy spells. I started gaining weight. My periods

were irregular and I was experiencing hormonal problems. I would go to the doctor and they were just telling me that all my labs looked normal, even though these symptoms weren’t normal for me.”

The symptoms ultimately culminated in a mini-stroke, or transient ischemic attack, at the young age of 24. Dissatisfied with not receiving any answers about her ongoing health conditions, Berghoff enrolled in the

Writer / Renee Larr Photography Provided

Institute for Functional Medicine.

“While there, I learned traditional labs don’t show patients what is going on until it’s too late and they’re experiencing unpleasant symptoms,” Berghoff says. “They don’t show detail on nutrient levels, heavy metal toxicities, gut parasites and hormones. Within three months I was making major improvements in my own health and symptoms.”

Berghoff was excited to share what she learned by becoming a sought-after health and wellness expert, and eventually writing her second book, “Eat to Treat: The ThreeStep Program to Reduce Inflammation, Detoxify Your Life, and Heal Your Body.” In the book, Berghoff shares her innovative strategies to reduce chronic inflammation in the body.

The book offers a quiz to help readers identify their inflammation type and severity, and a total toxic burden assessment. Berghoff says she realizes lab work can be expensive for individuals, and wanted to offer a cheaper way for readers to improve their overall health. She says it’s more cost-effective and straightforward than most people realize. Her first suggestion is to complete a pantry reset.

“The first thing I suggest is removing items from your pantry that contain chemicals, or swapping out your normal Oreos with the gluten-free, organic versions,” Berghoff says. “Another easy swap is to switch from plastic to glass storage containers and water bottles. We’re not trying to reduce toxins completely because that’s literally impossible in this modern-day world, but we’re just trying to reduce the overall toxins that your body can handle.”

Berghoff says sometimes patients don’t know precisely what inflammation looks like in their own body. She says by the time your body starts showing nagging symptoms such as bloating, joint pain, headaches, insomnia and so on, the body has been inflamed for years. She explains the body compensates until it just can’t anymore.

“People will sometimes say hypothyroidism runs in their family because it’s genetic,” Berghoff says. “While they may have a genetic predisposition if it runs in their family, they’re actually activating it by inflammation. It’s actually the chronic inflammation that has led to the complication.”

Berghoff says she dislikes using the word “diet” when discussing a healthy lifestyle and choosing what foods to nourish the body. She says her approach is more about appreciating how you want to feel based on what labs show.

“Let’s say you want to lose 10 pounds, and you go on a super restrictive diet that causes you stress and anxiety,” Berghoff says. “You end up missing out on life, and then two months later you’re back where you started. A lot of diets end up leaving people malnourished or deficient in key nutrients, so even if you lose the weight, you’re actually harming your body.”

Through her many entrepreneurial endeavors and extensive knowledge and training, Berghoff has become a renowned international speaker and leader in the health and wellness arena. She has been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, USA TODAY, Business Insider, Glamour, toprated podcasts and health documentaries. She also provides business consulting services such as mentoring and coaching to budding entrepreneurs and individuals looking to make a career change.

“I’m extremely excited for people to read the book because it will impact them in meaningful ways,” Berghoff says. “The cool thing is it’s really very simple. It’s all based on evidence-driven science, but I break it down in an easy-to-follow way that everyone should be able to implement immediately. I think even if you only implement a few of the tips outlined in the book, your life will be tremendously better.”

THE THIN LINE SPOTLIGHT

ABIGAIL POYNTER

Abigail Poynter, a firefighter with the Westfield Fire Department (WFD), says she is honored to be in the department.

“Being a member of the Westfield Fire Department has been a great accomplishment, personally and professionally, and I am honored for the opportunity to serve the Westfield community,” Poynter says. “Although I am not the first female firefighter to work at WFD, I am currently the only female firefighter employed by our department. This role has presented challenges I have

overcome, but I am thankful to be a part of a team and organization that continues to evolve and improve its processes as we grow as a department and community.”

Prior to joining the WFD, Poynter was employed as a licensed practical nurse.

“The bulk of my experience was in longterm facility care, but I have previously worked with a wide range of age groups within different practices,” Poynter says. Poynter thoroughly enjoys being a firefighter.

“There are many things I enjoy about my

career in the fire service,” she says. “The workday provides structure but no two days are the same. Working a 24-hour shift schedule permits a great work and life balance. The best part of my job is knowing I made a difference and may have helped someone during a time of crisis.”

Poynter says she also enjoys educating people about fires.

“One of the most important responsibilities of a firefighter is public education,” Poynter says. “We connect with our community on a daily basis, whether attending a school or city event, and utilize this time to teach fire, life and safety skills. The best way for our

Writer / Matt Keating Photography Provided

citizens to prevent fires is to be proactive and knowledgeable about smoke alarms, potential fire hazards, and be mindful when cooking, heating their homes and coming in contact with fire.”

When Poynter isn’t working, she enjoys spending time with family.

“I do not have a second job as I am a fulltime mom to a busy toddler, Samuel,” Poynter says. “My greatest support system is my family - my wonderful husband, Chris,

who is also a firefighter, and our parents. They provide the love, understanding and guidance needed as we both develop our careers and manage as fairly new parents. Chris, Samuel and I love to spend time with one another and enjoy being outdoors, hiking, paddleboarding and exploring different parks.”

Poynter wants to persuade other women to become firefighters.

“A main goal in my career is to inspire

and educate women who are interested in joining the fire service,” Poynter says. “Women can perform and succeed in this industry, just as anyone else can. We may not have, on average, the most sheer mass or strength, but can learn different ways of performing well at our jobs. I have learned that utilizing good body mechanics goes a long way, and I can train just as hard as our male counterparts. Don’t be afraid to chase your dreams. I did, and found that being a part of the fire service has truly been the best job ever.”

FALL FUN IN HAMILTON COUNTY, INDIANA TOURISM SPOTLIGHT

Make it an overnight adventure and reserve a spot at White River Campground, adjacent to the park.

4. MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR UNIQUE FALL FESTIVALS & EVENTS.

When the calendar turns to September, that means fall is nearly upon us. Picture it: crisp air, the crunch of leaves under your feet, and the trees showing off their seasonal colors. Find inspiration for your fall adventure with the top things to do this fall.

1. VISIT A LOCAL APPLE ORCHARD OR PUMPKIN PATCH. It isn’t fall without an apple cider slushie or pumpkin doughnut.

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, 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.

Emmy Watson, a freshman at Westfield High School, recently had a great showing at some Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) conventions, and she couldn’t be more excited about it.

Emmy’s mother, Valerie, says Emmy put a lot of effort into her work.

“Emmy’s showing was in Chapter Service Project Display, an event focused on bringing awareness to a problem in your community, and activity working towards change,” Valerie says.

Valerie adds that Emmy got creative with her project display. “Her project was named ‘T-Shirts and Treats,’ a fundraiser that involved collecting old T-shirts to be made into dog toys, as well as collecting new treats and new toys,” she says.

Emmy’s hard work went to a worthy cause.

“Everything collected was donated to the Hamilton Humane Society and a local rescue,” Valerie says.

EMMY WATSON STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

Emmy also spent a lot of time preparing for the FCCLA showing.

“To prepare for the FCCLA conference, Emmy worked with her teachers, Emerson Burroughs and Kaitlyn Grubel, to go over her presentation, memorize and double check facts, check the timing of her speech, etcetera,” Valerie says. “She then ran through everything with them probably 100 times.”

Emmy says she loves being a part of FCCLA.

“The best thing about FCCLA is honestly the people,” Emmy says. “I met some great people there. My teammates, Avery, Noah Parker and Gerry, are some of my best

friends that I would have never met without FCCLA”

Valerie notes that Emmy appreciates how supportive people are in FCCLA.

“Everyone was so encouraging,” Valerie says. “It was always a positive environment, and her chapter advisers, Burroughs and Grubel, were amazing and supportive people.”

Emmy says she had a great time at both of the FCCLA conventions.

“The state conference was hosted at Muncie, Indiana,” Emmy says. “The FCCLA is working on changing that to downtown Indianapolis due to our growing numbers.

The National Leadership Conference was hosted in Denver, Colorado. It changes locations every year. The attendance at the national convention was 8,000 people.”

Emmy is also busy with school activities. “I am involved in Speech and Debate, FCCLA, Equality Club, and Robbie’s Hope,” she says.

Emmy says she also enjoys living in Westfield. “I love the people in Westfield,” she says. “There are some of the best people here.”

Emmy says she will not forget all of the people who helped her with her FCCLA project display.

“I would like to thank everyone who helped me throughout this, including ‘Big Dawg Burroughs,’ Ms. Grubel, and friends Lexi Ball, Meredith Mobley and Avery Gustafson,” she says. “I couldn’t have done it without them.”

EMPOWERED AND IMPRESSIVE

FOUR YEARS ON, WOMEN OF WESTFIELD GROUP CONTINUES TO PICK UP STEAM

Writer / Melissa Gibson Photography Provided

The Women of Westfield (WOW) nonprofit organization is only four years old, but has a following of approximately 2,800 women in the community.

Their mission is to empower women and offer opportunities to network, come together and encourage each other.

“This was an idea about wanting to get women together to take off all of our ‘hats,’” says Danielle Carey Tolan, president of WOW. “We’re not just a mom, wife, employee. Let’s create camaraderie among women and make a change in the community.”

To date, the women have donated over $20,000 to nonprofits in the community. They host events throughout the year ranging from coffee and conversation to large fundraisers.

“We have a variety of activities,” Tolan says. “We’ve done golf clinics, pickleball instruction, a personal safety class with our local police officers, and other networking events. We have about four major events throughout the year, with smaller activities sprinkled in.”

This winter, WOW’s largest annual event of the year will bring in hundreds of women

for their BE Gathering.

“Each year we have a BE theme - BE Triumphant, BE a Badass,” says Janelle Campbell, incoming president for WOW starting in 2024. “This year the theme is BE Resilient. It’s an opportunity to come together, hear an inspirational speaker, participate in breakout sessions, and shop at various boutiques and businesses ran by women in the community.”

The funds raised from events like BE Gathering are donated to a variety of nonprofits in the area.

“We always choose a different nonprofit,” Tolan says. “We’ve donated to Prevail, Open Doors and Student Impact - always an organization in Westfield.”

The impact of the WOW organization has been immeasurable.

“I remember after our first BE event, I was driving home and thinking, ‘I really hope women connected with each other,’” Tolan says. “Many of them haven’t ever been in the same room together. I later met a woman who was fairly new in the community, and she said she’s met some of her closest friends in Westfield because of that event. Others have said they didn’t know a particular nonprofit existed and they now volunteer there regularly. It’s a

huge win for us.”

Campbell has seen similar positive results.

“We did a wine tasting event, and I remember from that opportunity a book club was developed,” she says. “They still meet, but in the meantime one of them has had a baby and others have made changes. It’s neat to watch those connections that were started through WOW, and they’re just doing life together.”

Ultimately the hope is that women will be empowered and uplifted in all areas of life by working together.

“I think coming off of the pandemic, people were really craving that connection,” Campbell says. “This is a great place to experience safe, nonjudgmental relationships. Take the opportunities that interest you, and fall in love with our city even more.”

Just this year, WOW started a paid membership program that includes a free ticket to the annual BE Gathering, and discounts to additional events and local business partners.

The BE Gathering event will be held at West Fork Whiskey on November 14. Visit womenofwestfield.com for more information.

Growing Grins’ award-winning children’s dentist and owner, Diana Kozlowski,

chose Westfield to open Growing Grins Pediatric Dentistry because she wanted to be somewhere she could be part of the community, and know the families in the community she services. She also knew that Westfield would be the best place to raise her then-young children. Ten years later and with almost 20 years of experience, she believes that decision was pivotal in her life, and has

Nyla and her husband, Scott Wolf, alongside their son and daughter, have been in business for over 30 years. Originally

starting a farmers market off of Shadeland Street in Indianapolis, then operating Nyla’s Cafe in downtown Noblesville, and finishing with concepts still around town including Wolfies Grill, the Italian House and the Broken Barrel, they look forward to adding Nyla’s to this list of restaurants.

A large part of their growth, and reason to grow, are their employees and their faith. Their team is at the core of their success, and their belief is the foundation. They have had the pleasure to work alongside some of the greatest people, and strive to be intentional in their lives throughout these chapters.

They look forward to once again welcoming the Westfield (and beyond) to their newest restaurant, and aim to create an atmosphere worthy of a great memory.

Allie Commons

337 Jersey Street Westfield, IN 317-763-0007 rivetcoffee.com

Rivet Coffee Bar & Roastery began as a dream when Owner Allie Commons was just a teenager. Having worked at a small retail shop, she found enjoyment in making espresso drinks and selling bulk coffees, decades before the big corporate coffee businesses moved in. The connection she found between coffee and people was such an appeal that it stuck with her for three decades. Through career changes, raising

a family of her own and even battles with cancer, she still held the dream close to her heart.

In 2020, with Allie’s children grown, she was able to take her dream and begin to form it into reality. During unlikely the circumstances of a global pandemic, the foundations were laid…or in this case, renovated. A quaint little house in Westfield

With an on-site roastery, you can watch the beans being roasted while you try a delicious cup of one of their many unique blends or single-origin roasts. Food is not an afterthought at Rivet Coffee. Their brunch menu is unique and delicious, with both sweet and savory options (don’t miss the made-to-order Liege waffles). Sit inside and view the curated art from Westfield artists, experience the large wraparound deck and outdoor picnic tables, or bring a blanket to sit out on the lawn. No matter how you do it, just come check it out and be sure to say hello to Caroline and Allie.
