Page 6A THE BEACON November 2019 B Beacon USINESS NEWS ABOUT OUR ADVERTISERS Ivy Tech and CMHC Join Forces Lawrenceburg and Batesville Ivy Tech Community College and Community Mental Health Center recently unveiled their new collaborative program which provides free counseling services to current Ivy Tech Lawrenceburg and Batesville students. The program, called My Well Being, provides students with four free counseling sessions at Community Mental Health Center. By providing these services, Ivy Tech may be able to assist their students by balancing their workload, family, social life, and schoolwork. “We understand that mental health is a very important aspect to a student’s success,” said Shakira Grubbs, vice-chancellor of enrollment services and student success at Ivy Tech Lawrenceburg and Batesville. Executive Director of the Community Mental Health Center, Tom Talbot, said students in their early twenties are more prone to face mental illness or struggle with daily issues because they are facing many new concerns, and they may not have the necessary coping skills. “I think that the My Well Being program can be a good resource to assist students in dealing with the everyday challenges of life and to enhance their overall wellbeing,” shared Mr. Talbot. Ivy Tech’s Lawrenceburg and Batesville locations will also have mental health awareness days, where a representative from the Community Mental Health Center will answer questions and provide students with information on counseling services. For additional information on the My Well Being program, contact Shakira Grubbs at sgrubbs5@ivytech.edu. Credibility • Advocacy • Education • Visibility What Can The Chamber Do For You?

The Best Banks to Work For program, which was initiated in 2013 by American Banker and Best Companies Group, identifies, recognizes, and honors U.S. banks for outstanding employee satisfaction. The twostep process involves an evaluation of participating companies’ workplace policies, practices, and demographics. In the second step, employee surveys are conducted to directly assess the experiences and attitudes of individual employees concerning their workplace. The combined scores determine the top banks and the final ranking. “Our mission at Civista is not only to improve the financial lives of our customers and shareholders, but also the lives of our employees. It is an honor to receive this award as recognition of the commitment we’ve made to our team,” said Dennis Shaffer, Civista Bank CEO and President.

November 2019 THE BEACON Page 7A Dearborn County Chamber of Commerce 2019 Women of Distinction The fourteenth annual Dearborn County Women of Distinction Awards honors three individuals for their contributions to the community. These women were chosen based on the positive impact they have had on Dearborn County and their ability to inspire others to work toward bettering the region. The 2019 recipients of the Women of Distinction Award are Phee Ellinghausen, Cindy Rottinghaus, and Lisa Hill. Phee Ellinghausen (Photo courtesy of Margaret Drury) Phee Ellinghausen, a retired elementary school teacher of forty-one years, is an avid volunteer for the Dearborn County Clearinghouse. She tirelessly advocates for food donations and other supplies to fill their shelves. Mrs. Ellinhausen is a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Aurora, where she has served as organist for an incredible fifty-six years! She also sporadically helps another church. She is an ordained Elder of the Church and presently serves as a Deacon. Mrs. Ellinghausen helps coordinate giving Christmas food baskets to families. Every year she helps peel and cook over one hundred pounds of potatoes for the Presbyterian Soup Booth at the Farmers’ Fair. Of course, she also volunteers with soup sales. Additionally, Mrs. Ellinghausen helps prepare, and serve food at the Fourth Street Food Cafe, offering a free meal to the community every Tuesday evening, bearing much of the food cost herself. She helps organize the church’s annual “Nu2U” Rummage Sale. Finally, she helps write and prepare the church’s newsletter. Mrs. Ellinghausen serves her community as a member of Indiana Retired Teachers Association; Dearborn County Retired Teachers Association; RSVP; and Aurora Associate Tri Kappa. She has served as Tri Kappa Corresponding Secretary for nine years, as well as Cards Chair, and Publicity Chair. Mrs. Ellinghausen presently serves on the Board of Directors at Hillforest. She is a past board member of the Southeastern Indiana Musicians’ Association, and in fact, she was awarded their Hall of Fame Award in 2014. Mrs. Ellinghausen is a member of the Aurora Garden Club. She also volunteers with first graders twice a week. She also visits the residents of assisted living facilities and has faithfully maintained a high level of community service. Phee Ellinghausen was described as, “Her energy is boundless, her motives pure. It’s been said that everyone should have a passion. Phee Ellinghausen has many - her greatest is called ‘Life.’” Cindy Rottinghaus (Photo courtesy of Margaret Drury) Cindy Rottinghaus is the last one to seek the spotlight. She prefers to quietly engage support with a twinkling smile. To see her delight for regional community events, the beauty of Aurora with the Pergola Swing Corridor, the Aurora Dog Park, or the historic charm of downtown Aurora is contagious. She truly enjoys seeing people’s smiles indicating true success and feels honored to contribute. Cindy Rottinghaus has a long history of community activism, is a strong regional advocate for quality of life initiatives. Cindy is president of the Aurora Garden Club, assists with the Fall in Love with Aurora, Scarecrow Alley, and landscape design and maintenance for Aurora’s gateway entrances. As secretary of the Aurora Park Board, Cindy best identified Aurora Parks Signage & Branding Strategy thru the Master Parks Plan. The signs have been updated with Cindy’s beautiful efforts assisting in landscaping for all to enjoy. Ms. Rottinghaus has volunteered countless hours to the Aurora Red White & Boom, and the USS LST-325 events. A successful grant writer, she has also been vital to assisting with raising funds for nonprofit community events. With the Bicentennial in Aurora, she has been busier than ever. As Secretary of the Aurora Historic Preservation Commission (HPC), Ms. Rottinghaus’ efforts have resulted in a friendlier, approachable process thru the COA application with guidance from the HPC. She is also involved in the selection of the annual Aurora HPC Preservation Awards. This year she will again be involved prior to and during the Aurora Historic Tour of Homes event. Ms. Rottinghaus is secretary and board member of the Rising Sun Regional Foundation and has assisted in approving multiple regional grants in the fields of Education, Public Safety, Recreational Facilities & Programs, Housing, and Economic Development. Ms. Rottinghaus’ dream was to design a dog park for the area. That vision became a reality as the Aurora Dog Park, thanks to her tireless efforts and dedication. Ms. Rottinghaus’ dedication to her community is also prevalent in her past as a former board member of Main Street Aurora and Hillforest Historial Foundation. A heartfelt smile blooms when others share recollections of Cindy Rottinghaus. Jascia Redwine, RSRF- Executive Director, shared “I first met Cindy not as a board member, but as a grant applicant for a cause that was, and still is, very close to her heart, a dog park in Aurora. I can still remember the day we met to look over the property. It was super muddy, and we trudged around through the muck, discussing the proposed project. Cindy is one of those dream board members because she is prepared for meetings and isn’t afraid to ask questions.” Charlotte Hastings, prior Woman of Distinction honoree expressed “Cindy is very dedicated to the City of Aurora and one you can always count on to be Johnny- (or in her case Jane) on-the-spot.” Guinevere Emery shared, “Cindy has taught me more than she knows. You’ll see her at the top of a ladder to fully appreciate the view to life yet ensure everyone is included on the way. She instills a legacy of grace and ability. Lisa Hill (Photo courtesy of Luree Ketcham) Lisa Hill is known locally, nationally, and internationally as the mother of Lauren Hill. That fact alone is a compelling reason for honoring her as a Woman of Distinction. Many don’t realize all that Lisa has done for children and families since her daughter became ill. Upon Lauren’s diagnosis, We Need Listings! HVL: Nice 3 bed tri level home on beautiful dbl lot, newer kitchen, and updated bath. $134,900 Lisa, Brent Hill, and Brian Fenstermaker founded Lauren’s Fight For Cure, an organization dedicated to helping with the financial burden of families suffering from terminal pediatric brain cancer. Without Lisa’s efforts, the success of the organization would not be possible. She took it upon herself to find the families in need of our help so that much-needed resources could be provided. After Lauren’s passing, Lisa continued her commitment to Lauren’s cause by going to work for The Cure Starts Now, an organization dedicated to children who have brain cancer. She committed herself to raising money to find a cure for DIPG in the hopes of curing all cancers in the process. In this position, she helped to raise more than $2,000,000 in Lauren’s name to fund critical research. Lisa has been at the forefront of helping people not only locally but internationally. She continues to represent courage in the face of adversity, a trait that makes her a woman of distinction. CORNERSTONE REALTY INC. CORNERSTONE We’re IN YOUr COrNer. C REALTY INC.
