Three HSE schools drop letter grade

By Noah Alatza • news@currentinfishers.com Three Hamilton Southeastern Schools have dropped a letter grade according to the state’s annual school accountability education report released Oct. 4.

Harrison Parkway, Sand Creek and Thorpe Creek elementary schools dropped from an A to a B rating in the 2016-17 school year.

HSE officials said that potential ISTEP scores had an impact on the schools’ grade fall.

Bourff “Absolutely ISTEP affected school ratings,” Janice Combs, assistant superintendent of curriculum said. “The impact from performance and growth was significant. Based on the scores, we are suring up some of the curriculum.”

Poor school accountability grades can lead to state intervention at public schools, however HSE schools has not fallen below state guidelines.

HSE Supt. Allen Bourff said the district always is attempting to improve scores, often weighing state average against schools in the district.

“When we talk about future performance, higher performance, we always gauge success against state averages; we want to see our per-

centages grow,” Bourff said. “We are constantly gauging ourselves and our performance on this.”

Bourff said the district believes all of HSE’s instruction is targeted towards deeper learning, test shifts and critical thinking.

“By targeting every school with students who didn't pass the test, (HSE has) strategies to focus on those students, and to make sure they are successful,” Bourff said. “Each school has an improvement plan, which specifically targets skills that need addressed.”

Despite other schools in the county facing ISTEP problems, Combs said HSE has not experienced any technological or human errors.

The district had the second highest scores in Hamilton County in 2017, at 72.5 percent passing.

Both Fall Creek Elementary and Durbin Elementary Schools jumped from a B to an A rating.

“I am encouraged by the results of our current accountability grades as an indication of the great education Indiana students are receiving,” Indiana Supt. of Public Intstruction Jennifer McCormick stated in a press release from the Indiana Dept. of Education. “Our work, however, is not finished. As a department, we will continue to partner with stakeholders from the state level to the local community to ensure every school is successful and every student is academically prepared for the future.”

30 South Range Line Road Carmel, IN 46032 317.489.4444 info@youarecurrent.com The views of the columnists in Current in Fishers are their own and do not necessarily reflect the positions of this newspaper.

After state officials dropped the ISTEP+ exam in March of 2016, pursuing a new company to host the state’s key education test has been in the works ever since.

Criticism of the ISTEP+ was notable, and with long testing times, technological problems and slow scoring, education officials have opted for a shorter exam.

Westfield Washington Grate Schools Supt. Sherry Grate said she was cautiously optimistic about the new test, while also acknowledging that WWS uses many other measures when determining student academic status.

After receiving dozens of complaints, most notoriously after test-provider Pearson’s misleading of the district on dozens of ISTEP exams, forcing the district to invalidate scores.

While the middle school’s score is currently under appeal, as it is reviewed by the state’s board of education due to the mishap, the in-

termediate school’s letter grade dropped from a B to a C in the 2016-17 school year. District spokeswoman Kate Snedeker said the invalidation clearly affected Westfield’s scores, with just 66.9 percent of grades 3-8 passing.

Meanwhile, Carmel Clay Schools has maintained a constant A rating for several years and also touts the county’s highest 2017 ISTEP scores with 80.7 percent passing, far above the state average.

Hamilton Southeastern Schools saw a 72.5 percent ISTEP+ passing score, the second highest in Hamilton County.

While the replacement is being set up, students are still taking the controversial test this school year. Hamilton County students were expected to begin taking the new test as early as this spring, However, a 2019 target date has now been set.

The Indiana Dept. of Education will pay the Washington, D.C.-based American Institutes for Research more than $43 million to design and distribute the test.

A three-year contract was approved with the company beating four other bidders. According to the contract proposal, test preparation alone begins at $3 million. The first

year of testing in 2019 will cost $20.6 million, followed by $21.6 million in 2020.

The new test, now called ILEARN, or Indiana’s Learning Evaluation Assessment Readiness Network, will garner a shorter testing window, with results expected to be released faster.

ILEARN will be a computer-based test, administered to grades three through eight, with questions changing throughout the test, depending on whether a student answers the previous question correctly. Education officials said the changes will better assess student abilities inside the classroom.

ILEARN will be similar in nature to ISTEP+ in regards to what material students are tested on. Students will still be tested on the basics, English language arts and mathematics. Statewide, only 51.5 percent of students passed both tests.

“We are excited for what the future holds for education here in Indiana,” said Charity Flores, director of assessment for the Indiana Dept. of Education. “We will continue to move forward with the procurement process.”

For Bernice Valentine-Watts, it was the words she longed to hear.

“I saw my name entertainment up there and ‘Bernice ValentineWatts come on down,’” she said.

That phrase meant that the Fishers resident had been selected to be on “The Price is Right.”

“I screamed. I was high-fiving everyone,” Valentine-Watts said. “I got on stage, and I’m actually talking to Drew (Carey), the host of ‘The Price is Right.’ It was a very surreal experience.”

Valentine-Watts’ episode was filmed in late July and will be aired Oct. 19. She has watched the show for years.

“I’d see when I was doing my housework or holidays I would tune in back in the days when (host) Bob Barker was there,” she said. “It was just exciting to be there. I couldn’t believe I was there.”

Valentine-Watts was on vacation with her husband, with two of her sisters, two of her brothers, a sister’s husband and a brother’s fiancée.

“We had planned a family vacation to California and had the hopes of getting on

the ‘The Price is Right,’” Valentine-Watts said. “We were able to get tickets to get in there. All the family members there were trying to get on to the show.”

Valentine-Watts won her first pricing game she played, Side by Side.

“I made the right choice, and I won three Samsung televisions and some Xbox games, which my husband is very excited about it,” she said. “One of the televisions is 78 inches, and the other two are 65 inches.”

She then got a chance to spin the wheel and say hello to the TV audience.

“I just shouted out to all my siblings who weren’t with me because I have nine,” Valentine-Watts said. “I shouted out to people where I grew up in home state of South Carolina.”

Exploring Education HSE principals study schools in China

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Six Hamilton Southeastern Schools principals have the opporcover story tunity to take a little bit of Fishers to China this week.

Geist Elementary principal Christi Thomas and Hoosier Road Elementary principal Will Hurst left Oct. 11.

Lantern Road Elementary Principal Danielle Thomas Thompson, Fishers Elementary Principal Brian Sloan, Brooks School Elementary Principal Dana Kaminski and Sand Creek Intermediate Principal Brent Farrell left Oct. 13.

The six will study at Thompson each of their elementary schools’ sister schools’ in Ningbo, China. The partnership initiated when 23 students from Tianchang Primary School in China and four teachers came to visit Sand Creek Intermediate for one week in August.

Sloan “I could tell just by having those kids with us for five days, you can’t substitute that relationship,” Farrell said. “As we look at different projects and capabilities to use technology to interact, I think we have a lot to offer each other.”

Farrell Each sister school in China has a specialty study, and typically schools hold more students in China. Each principal is accompanied by a translator.

“The Ningbo district is our sister district, and this is the first time this Chinese connection has established a district-to-district relationship, so I think that’s a pretty neat opportunity for the HSE school district,” Thomas said.

Thomas said the partnership originated due to Supt. Allen Bourff and his past experience at another school district. The trip also aligns with HSE21, which highlights the best

practices of teaching and learning for teachers, principals and school staff. One of those practices is having a global perspective.

“When we are able to be educated ourselves, we can bring that back to the students and staff,” Thomas said. “Dr. Bourff has been fostering global perspective with us.”

Kaminski said his goal would be to return to China with a larger group.

“My goal is to get a return trip with students, parents and teachers in Kaminski 2019 back to this partner school. That is my premier target for success,” he said.

To nurture the partnership, the principals are bringing gifts over to each of the schools they visit, as Hurst gifts are an important way of showing appreciation in the Chinese culture. When the students and teachers from Tianchang Primary School visited, they brought multiple gifts, including a scroll.

Each principal will bring something from their school, as well as a crystal gift engraved with the district’s seal.

“Gifts are very important, so we are giving a gift to the district, giving a gift to each school and giving a gift to the principal of each school,” Thomas said. “A lot of time and thought went into these gifts, because it means a lot in their culture, it’s just an exchange of appreciation and respect to each other.”

When mice are away…

ob s e r v a tion Prioritized priorities Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

The well-dressed, if a bit frazzled, man said to his colleague, “I’m managing three No. 1 priorities,” while waiting for a table at a fashionable luncheon spot. His plan, it seems, is to equally attack a triumvirate of matters – begging a plethora of questions. Will he dedicate one third of each day to 100 perent of each problem? Will he dedicate 100 percent of a day in a three-day rotation? Will he dedicate 100 percent of his attention to 33.3 percent of each problem simultaneously? It makes one’s head spin.

Can we hope to serve three masters?

No doubt, most of us live lives complicated by innumerable and deserving objectives, like chicks in the nest, each squawking endlessly for our attention. They all demand our time, resources and effort. Is it reasonable to believe that one person can effectively address more than one matter?

Multitasking, at least for most mortals, has proven a fiction. Studies continue to prove that we humans are ill equipped to drive, text, drink coffee and carry-on a conversation simultaneously.

So, what’s a highly motivated, and overtaxed, person to do? Create a discipline of one, and only one, top priority. Then, move to the second, only after the first is complete. Driving for a moment and then texting for a moment doesn’t work. Finish the primary object (think complete, not perfect), only then move on to complete No. 2. If we don’t get to the third, so what?

We’ve arrived safely. We’ve fulfilled our chief objective. Of our lists, are we misleading ourselves that each is equal? If we had to choose, could we? Before we give in to our obligations, have we prioritized our priorities?

What a glorious Saturday night this is shaping up to be. The husband and sons are at Regal, guard daughter at humor a competition, and Tiny Dancer is hanging with friends and the dog in the basement. Basically, it’s just me and the cat. I’m so excited!

The perfect evening is about to unfold.

The kitchen is clean, the lights are dimmed, and I have the next three hours to get reacquainted with my DVR via “Designated Survivor,” “Catastrophe,” and my new fave, “Veep.”

Does this make me lame? Yes, but I’m embracing it. I’m old enough to accept the introvert neat-freak I have become and to love every anal-retentive part about her.

Because at 45, life is too short to be someone I’m not.

Doo, though, disagrees. He’s afraid that once he dies (no doubt before me), I’ll become a friendless, Clorox-obsessed recluse, who only leaves the house for work and Friskies. To that end, he’s constantly trying to get me to “go out,” socialize with people, and have fun. He forgets I have four sisters and 13 in-law siblings, all close in age. I’ve got more peeps than is natural for an earlyto-bed, one-drink-only, soulless ginger like myself. I don’t need any more relationships, nor do I want to spend my weekends “going out.” In my book of middle-age awesomeness, fun is measured in cherry Pop-Tarts and HBO series.

Speaking of which, that delicious scenario currently awaits. And because I must capitalize on every alone-but-not-lonely second, I shall bid thee farewell. After all, when it’s Saturday night and the Wilson mice are away, the cat and I like to hit play.

Peace out.

We have entered the percent-age Commentary By Melkote Ramaswamy Life was pure and simple when shirts were made of cotopinion ton, skirts of wool, and scarves of silk. Then came polyester to mix things up. Shirts now come in all percentages of cotton and polyester – 65-35, 60-40, and 50-50. Polyester and cotton have made alliances with wool and nylon and rayon.

Time was when milk meant just that – cow’s milk in the U.S. and cow’s or buffalo’s milk in India.

A trip to the grocery stores tells us that percentages have taken over. You now have a choice of getting fat on 3.5 percent milk or slimming down on 1 percent milk. On top of this, you have a choice of 2 percent and skim milk. Coffee lovers want nothing less than Half and Half.

Paper has its own percentage depending on whether it is newsprint, parchment or wrap. What varies is the proportion of cotton fiber. While the common man may not be fussy, this very much matters to the printer.

Nobody has profited more from per-

centages than the TV weatherman. Now it is no longer whether it will rain or not – it is a matter of probability anywhere from 0 to 100 percent. If the forecast doesn’t come true, blame it on the computer model!

Other percentage examples abound: if you are an American male, there is a 5 percent chance that you will live up to 100 years; a U.S. tax-payer has a 0.01 percent chance of being audited by the Internal Revenue Service; the probability of our being hit by a meteor is 0.0000001 percent; and there is a 50 percent chance that the Nobel Prize in physics in 2018 will go to an American scientist.

With the rapid growth of market research companies and more and more Americans willing to offer their opinions, one can expect percentages to figure in all kinds of surveys and situations.

Unwittingly, we all have entered the Percent Age. Melkote Ramaswamy, a Westfield resident, is a physicist, writer, speaker and author of “An Immigrant celebrates America” (University of Indianapolis Press, 2007).

YEARS 1918-2018

After last week’s column about getting a knee replacement, many people expressed sympathy. Not for me, but for humor my wife, who has to pester me every day to do my exercises, which can be very painful. The pestering, I mean.

While I’ve been recuperating, Mary Ellen decided to tackle a job she had been putting off: going through kitchen drawers to see what we have accumulated in them over the years and what should be thrown out.

“What is this?” Mary Ellen asked me as she dangled a doodad in front of my face.

It was small, white, plastic, hexagonal in shape, and had several grooves. “It looks like it goes to something,” she said.

“I have no idea what it is,” I responded.

“Let’s put it somewhere in case we ever need it. It looks important.”

“So you want to keep it because you don’t know what it is for? ” “Don’t be silly. I only keep things that look important.”

I knew exactly what she meant. I have a desk drawer in my office filled with things

that look important — but I don’t have a clue what they are for. The only way to find out if something has any value is to throw it away.

When Mary Ellen wasn’t looking, I took the thingamajig she asked me about and tossed it in the trash. Whatever that thing was, it was now gone forever. It was just a matter of time before I found out what it was for. The next week our son stopped by the house. “Dad, Mom wants me to mount the kitchen phone on the wall. I can’t find the mounting bracket. It’s a small, white, hexagonal piece of plastic with grooves. Do you know where it is?”

“Yes, of course. It’s on the far south side of Indy — at the landfill.”

“You threw that away? Dad, didn’t you know that it went to something?”

“Yes, I knew it went to something. I just didn’t know what it went to.”

“We know now, Dad. It went to the dump.”

New gym offers solutions to limited time

Dispatches Infant mortality summit – The fifth annual Labor of Love infant mortality summit will be held Nov. 15 at JW Marriott in downtown Indianapolis. This year’s summit will focus heavily on the impact the opioid epidemic is having on mothers and babies. Visit https://2017laboroflovesummit.my-trs.com to register.

By Rick Morwick • rick@youarecurrent.com People who hate exercise or have no time for the gym might have a new solution.

Founded in 2000, The Exercise Coach is a high-tech “smart gym” that fitness offers private, personalized workouts for people with lofty fitness goals but limited time to pursue them. Clients typically train twice each week in condensed, 20-minute routines.

Results quickly follow, according to gym operators.

“This is really a perfect fit for people who don’t necessarily love exercise or people that maybe are too busy and don’t like the gym scene,” said Trevor Junga, head coach and manager for the brand’s new studio in Fishers. “We’ve created a very private and personalized and professional environment, and our system allows us to deliver really significant results.”

One of two The Exercise Coaches in Hamilton County, the Fishers’ studio at 11488 Lakeridge Dr., is one of 42 nationwide.

Owned by franchisees Phil Gordon and Brian Jennings, it opened Sept. 25. The other local studio is in Carmel.

Eschewing traditional free weights, universal machines and cardio equipment, such as treadmills and ellipticals, The Exercise Coach features computerized devices that are programmed to meet the personalized needs of clients. They provide the same full-body, strengthening and cardio benefits as standard exercise gear but at an accelerated pace.

"Our clients can see these results with much less time commitment," Junga said.

"The reason for that is, we've got the ability to measure a client's unique strength and metabolic abilities and then proscribe exercises perfectly appropriate for them despite their age and condition, so it's very customized and very targeted.

"With our unique program, five minutes is even more powerful and effective than spending about 60 minutes on a traditional treadmill or elliptical or running outside."

Carmel resident DeGan to display pottery items 20th Annual Pottery Show and Sale Where: The Great Room at the Bloomington Convention Center, 302 S. College Ave. When: 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Nov. 3 and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 4 Website: Visit localclay.net.

Admission: Free

Judy DeGan displays her work at the Carmel International Arts Festival. (Photo

by Amy Pauszek)

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Judy DeGan was considering majoring in art while in high school.

“Then I woke up one morning art and thought, ‘I might want to eat,’” DeGan said. “So I decided to do something practical.”

So she dropped ceramics to take physics at her suburban Chicago high school.

“I was a medical technologist,” said DeGan, a Butler University graduate. “I then had kids and, for various reasons, ended up a special-ed teacher.”

Two years ago, she retired to return full time to her love of art.

“I started doing clay as a break from raising four kids,” DeGan said. “I started taking art classes at Broad Ripple High School. I moved on to Indianapolis Arts Center and got such fabulous instruction that I became an instructor.”

The longtime Carmel resident has been in the Local Clay Potters’ Guild for more than a year. DeGan is eager to hosting another display at the annual show.

“I was in it last year for the first time, and it was spectacular,” she said. “It was

fun. It was well-attended.”

The 20th annual Pottery Show and Sale is set for 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Nov. 3 and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 4 at the Bloomington Convention Center, 302 S. College Ave. Admission is free.

DeGan said it draws a strong crowd because it is held in conjunction with two other artists’ guilds. The Local Clay Guild show is on the second floor, and the Bloomington Glass Guild and Bloomington Spinners & Weavers Fiber Art Guild are on the bottom floor.

“They are separate shows, but we work together as far as advertising,” said DeGan, whose specialty is stoneware. “We have joint grant money to get the venue.

People have the opportunity if they travel that far to see three different shows.”

To be a member of the Bloomingtonbased Local Clay Potters Guild, the member has to live within 75 miles from Bloomington. DeGan just makes it.

“I make pitchers, mugs and bowls,” she said. “We’re allowed to bring in the neighborhood of 200 pieces. We might not put them all out at once. Everyone has assigned tasks, and one of them is making

sure if there are holes in the display,” DeGan has had a space at the Carmel International Arts Festival for several years. She had information promoting the Bloomington show last month.

“I was amazed at the people that had been to Bloomington show before or took the cards and were interested,” she said.

DeGan, who teaches a Monday day class for clay beginners at the Indianapolis Arts Center, has participated in art fairs since 2001. This one is special, she said.

“When you go to this, you are immediately greeted with someone welcoming you and all sorts of ceramic plates with homemade cookies,” she said. “There is an area called Potters’ Choice, which highlights each artist. There are photographs and samples of their work. There is a sculpture gallery for our sculptures. The remainder of that room is everyone’s work blended together.”

DeGan said it’s great to be part of the Guild because of professional growth.

“You feed off each other technique-wise and also combining marketing,” DeGan said.

Jared will tell you, both. That’s because the ACL reconstruction that Shelbourne Knee Center did on Jared’s knee not only got him back on same level as before the injury. Which has made his dream of playing college football a reality. As Jared says, “All over their walls are pictures of athletes with thank-you letters. I knew I was in good hands.”

A large, multi-center study found that only 50% of patients return to their sport at the same level. Yet similar research at Shelbourne Knee Center has found that greater than 90% of Shelbourne patients return to sports at the same level. Which proves we’re not only specializing in knees, we’re specializing in your recovery. Just ask Jared. He came in with a torn ACL, and walked out with his dream intact.

Your age is showing Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

1285 Fairfax Manor Drive – Carmel, IN 46032

Tour our model, choose your perfect residence

I recently celebrated a birthday. Okay, maybe “celebrated� isn’t quite accurate.

Let’s say I recently grammar guy endured another birthday. And, as much as I openly dislike birthday attention, this got me thinking: How do I properly write about my age?

Some say you’re only as old as you act.

In that case, I’m 11 years old. Just ask my three-year-old son.

Did you notice the two ways I wrote about ages just now? Both instances are correct.

Here’s the rule: Only add hyphens when the age is used as an adjective that comes before the noun you are modifying. For example: We haven’t been getting any sleep thanks to our three-month-old daughter.

In this case, the adjective (three-monthold) comes before the noun (daughter) it describes.

If the noun comes before the age, don’t use a hyphen. For example: Curtis is 33 years old. In this case, the rapidly aging noun (Curtis) is 33–the same number as Larry Bird’s jersey.

So, when do you write out a number and when do you simply use a numeral?

As a general rule, spell out numbers one through nine and use numerals for numbers 10 and larger. Many style guides disagree, because if they all had the same rules, we’d only need one book. Of course, there are exceptions to this numerical rule, like when you want to have consistency in your sentence. For example: Zionsville has 3 roundabouts, while Carmel has 102.

In this case, it would look strange to write out “three� and then use a numeral, so I used numerals for both.

Whether you write it with letters or numerals, age is merely a number. In this roundabout we call life, we all get off at our own exits, because otherwise we’d all be dizzy. Relational ties are the hyphens that bind us together with the people we love.

Editor’s note: Many newspapers, including Current, adhere to AP style, which consists of different rules for writing numbers.

Roman Theater in Aspendos, Turkey. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Roman Engineering in Aspendos Commentary by Don Knebel Aspendos is located approximately 30 miles east of Antalya in southern Turkey. Each year 400,000 visitors come to the city to see two remarkable actravel complishments of Roman engineers.

By the fifth century B.C., Aspendos, strategically situated on a flattop hill above the Eurymedon River that flows into the Mediterranean, had become an important port city, with its mints producing some of the world’s earliest coins. The Romans, who captured and plundered Aspendos in 79 B.C., rebuilt the city with markets, monuments, baths and temples. The ruins of many of those structures remain.

The most visited ancient structure in Aspendos is the theater, considered the best-preserved Roman theater in the world. Erected between 160 and 180 A.D. during the reign of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, the theater emulated the Greek model, with its horseshoe-shaped seating area built against the hillside. Depending on the assumed size of the average theatergoer, the estimated capacity of the 41 rows of seats, divided into two sections, ranges be-

tween 7500 and 20,000. The two-story stage house, from which actors entered the stage from one of five doors, is remarkably intact and is still used for performances.

Less well preserved than the theater are the remains of an ingenious system that brought water to the Aspendos hilltop from mountains 12 miles on the other side of the valley. The system took advantage of the principle that water seeks its own level. One 300-foot-tall stone tower near the mountains carried the water in a channel downwardly at a 55-degree angle toward horizontal pipes laid on supports in the valley. Another angled tower channeled the flowing water back up to the city. The remains of the Aspendos water system are the most complete of any similar system in the world and are worth a visit after seeing the theater.

Dispatches Pumpkin carving tips — Here are a couple tricks to try for easier pumpkin carving this season.

1. Instead of cutting the top off, cut the bottom off. Most of the gunk comes away with the bottom making it easier to clean out. Place the entire pumpkin over a lighted candle when done.

2. Use a drill to make holes in an interesting pattern. It’s faster and easier than tracing and cutting.

3. Select pumpkins with shallow ribs. They tend to be thinner and easier to cut.

Streaming news — Cutting the cable has become more popular recently because there are many streaming services available. WatchNewsOn.com lets you stream local news broadcasts from stations across the nation, either live or up to 48 hours after they originally air. Broadcasts from more than 170 local TV stations in more than 110 national markets are available. Best of all, the service is free to use.
