Student grows giant cabbage

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Fourth-grade student Lily Henderson received recognition for her unique accomplishment – growing a 21-pound cabbage through a school project. She AWARD was recognized as the National Bonnie Plants Cabbage Program’s Indiana state winner. She received a $1,000 savings bond to apply toward her education.

The 10-year-old joined the rest of the third-graders in her class at Shamrock Springs Elementary School in planting a cabbage and growing it during the summer.

When the students returned as fourthgraders last fall, they brought their cabbage information and photos to class.

“Lily and her dad built the planter box for the cabbage. Her grandparents are farmers in northern Indiana, and they brought down compost and we used it in the planter box,” Lily’s mother, Amy, said. “Then we picked it and weighed it in June and sent it back with her to her grandparents.”

At her grandparents’ house , Lily made lots of recipes with the cabbage, including slaw, fried cabbage and baked cabbage wrapped in bacon, which Lily said was her

One week of Student Impact K12 Food Rescue operation results in food items rescued meals rescued pounds of CO2 reduction, which provides a lesser carbon footprint in the world.

Student Impact fears Food Rescue may crumble after complaint to health department

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com When Hamilton County Health Dept. officials first showed up at the Student Impact garage last September because of an anonymous complaint COVER STORY filed against the organization’s K12 Food Rescue mission, Executive Director Danyele Easterhaus told them she’d listen to their suggestions but legally wasn’t required to follow them.

She wasn’t wrong. Indiana Code 16-182-137 states some exemptions to the food safety law, such as those where food is prepared free of charge; a gathering of inEasterhaus dividuals at a venue of an organization organized for religious purposes; and a vehicle used to transport food solely for the needy, among other exemptions.

Student Impact is under the umbrella of many of those exemptions.

Now, Student Impact is continuing to make changes to its refrigeration and transportation practices to address the concerns of the health department without needing to comply with licensure per the code while continuing to feed needy families of Westfield.

A filed complaint

Student Impact is a ministry founded to help students realize their full potential through support, mentoring and faith. But the organization distributes items through the national K12 Food Rescue program, where unused and unopened food is collected from Westfield Washington Schools. Volunteers distribute the food to 30 needy families in the city. Rescued items include unopened cheese sticks, milk, juice and more. Donations from Kroger and Panera are added to the food baskets, providing wellrounded meals.

According to a letter emailed to Easterhaus from the Hamilton County Health Dept., a complaint was filed against Student Impact’s operation of K12 Food Rescue. The health department stated, “Due to lack of proper refrigeration equipment (potentially hazardous foods) are not being transported safely at pick-up, sorting or during delivery to homes. Though we support your food rescue efforts, you

must be able to comply with all minimal requirements for food safety…”

The Hamilton County Health Dept. referred to Student Impact as a food pantry, but Easterhaus said it’s not.

“They’ve asked us to comply with getting a retail food permit for the Student Impact ‘food pantry,’ and they’ll do it for us free of charge. But then they want us to do training and come in and do inspections,” Easterhaus said. “They do not have jurisdiction on this property. They weren’t invited here, and I’ve never seen the complaint.”

Implementing suggestions

When the health department first visited in September, Easterhaus said Student Impact voluntarily implemented some of the department’s suggestions. One example is when canned goods are dented, bacteria can enter the can.

Easterhaus and her team of volunteers began pitching all dented cans.

Student Impact did apply for a grant for commercial refrigeration through the Hamilton County Commissioners but was not selected. Operating on an annual budget of $108,000, Student Impact can’t afford commercial refrigeration and a refrigerated truck for transporting the K12 Food Rescue items from all nine schools to Student Impact, 536 N. Union St., just minutes away.

Instead, what Student Impact is implementing, at its own cost, is the usage of two bins and two refrigerated bags per family. It is searching for donations to assist covering costs for the bins and bags.

Student Impact at risk

Programming Director Terry Lee and Easterhaus said they don’t want the student ministry to be put at risk because of the K12 Food Rescue complaint. However, an official request with a timeline to shut down the operation wasn’t stated in the email sent to Easterhaus in January.

No food-borne illnesses have been reported by the families the Food Rescue mission serves, but in the meantime

Lee and Easterhaus are asking volunteers Jennifer Dotzert and Melissa Risk to handle the K12 Food Rescue issue.

“I’m responsible for what happens here when kids come here. Our mission as an organization is shaped around that, and my goal is to protect that,” Lee said. “What it looks like they’re attempting to do is shut all of it down, and I’m not willing to do that.”

“We can’t put Student Impact at risk,” Easterhaus said.

Student Impact has been distributing K12 Food Rescue items for four years with no health department problems until recently. A Giving Tree, a nonprofit food pantry operated by Don and Christina Stilts, co-operated the program briefly, but Student Impact took over the responsibility last year.

Continuing operation

Dotzert said K12 Food Rescue will continue to operate unless the health department legally shuts it down.

“We are going to continue to serve these 30 families and continue to serve the students at Student Impact. That’s the whole purpose of rescuing food from the school,” she said. “It’s not going in the dump, and it’s serving food to food-insecure families.”

Risk said Student Impact is not meant to be a place where K12 Food Rescue items are stored, such as a food pantry.

“The goal is not to house food here,” she said. “Ultimately, the goal is to have it pass through. We collect it all and give it all out. It is not food storage. Somebody can’t come in and ask for food. It’s about feeding food-insecure families.”

For more on the national mission for K12 Food Rescue, visit foodrescue.net.

DONATE ITEMS Student Impact operates on a $108,000 annual budget. It is seeking donations for commercial refrigeration and bins and refrigerated bags for K12 Food Rescue distribution. Isley & Sons Plumbing recently donated a refrigeration unit.

Easterhaus also said the program is seeking volunteers to drive and deliver food items throughout the city.

Evolution of life

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker For some, reading and study is the key to all things. For others, experience is required to achieve adequate understanding.

Still, for most of us, we construct a reasonable composite of the two. We read, then do, then read a bit more and repeat. During the span of a long lifetime, we come to accumulate a conception about which things are best experienced blindly and which absolutely require some preparation.

American author Heidi Murkoff can claim the sales of more than 19 million copies of her iconic book “What to Expect When You’re Expecting.” First-time parents around the world (and more than a few who are taking a refresher course) have found preknowledge imperative to managing the process. Like most successful ventures, this one has inspired countless sequels and imitators. The “What to Expect” series has sold tens of millions of copies and is published in more than 30 languages.

Is there a seminal book for each precipice in life? Is there one that will make our transition to marriage, pet ownership or midlife better understood? And, can we learn to “expect” all of the future machinations yet to come? It may be more fun to plan for an upcoming wedding than to adjust to life after divorce or death, but can’t we learn and prepare for either with the same sense of nervous anticipation?

There is a certain power to be found in knowing, preparing and practicing.

But with it can come a sense of anxiety, insecurity and worry. If ours is life everevolving, isn’t it better to embrace it expectantly, not begrudgingly? It may be the only choice we have.

READER’S VIEW More rampant growth considered Editor, Yet another irresponsible development is under consideration on the west side of Westfield.

The community has given emotional pleas to city leaders to stop burdening our children and teachers with rampant growth that is resulting in overcrowded classrooms and buses. They need time to catch up. This alone should be enough to stop! But obviously it’s not.

Perhaps the fact that 1,500 lots are already available to build upon on the west side right now, and there are seven neighborhoods under construction within 2 miles of this proposed development, is enough to stop. Unbelievably, it’s not!

So, the citizens in the southwest corridor also have analyzed this development’s financial impact on the city.

The result: It doesn’t meet the school or infrastructure tax needs, will further strain public safety, doesn’t fill a market need and squanders a potential $20 mil-

lion more in assessed value that would be present if a different housing mix was built. This is three strikes, and this needs to be out!

Citizens continue to speak loudly that they are tired of irresponsible development in this city. Any city councilor supporting this development at 7 p.m. March 12 at city hall is sending a loud message that they don’t represent your voice. As a result, your children, your property values and your taxes are being negatively impacted.

Just as students across the nation are demanding safety in schools, we must demand that city leaders stop irresponsible development in our city. We need all Westfield citizens to join the conversation on the Facebook page, “Stop Irresponsible Development in Westfield.”

Because enough is enough, and our families are worth it!

Kristen Burkman and Suzy DuBois, Westfield

A former neighbor has been bugging me to spice things up a bit (yes, you, JM!), so here goes nothing. As an HUMOR educator, I find the prospect of arming teachers utterly ridiculous. You can agree or disagree, but trust me when I say we are the last people you want packing heat.

First, most schools are already prisonlike. We sentence kids to 12 years of highly structured days where they can’t even use the restroom when they want. If you add a bunch of armed guards, aka “teachers,” you’re only a barbed-wire fence away from Shawshank High. I prefer not to work at a state penitentiary, and I certainly don’t want my own children incarcerated in one (Wilson Family goal No. 6: Avoid penal institutions at all costs!). I’m there to teach, not to patrol the halls with my Glock.

Second, most teachers would make terrible shots. I took a handgun class a few years ago in preparation for the zombie apocalypse and also have spent time with my husband, Doo, an avid hunter, “learnin’ me some rifle shootin.’” If I had an hour or so, I could maybe load the thing, fire off a few rounds and hit a paper target, perhaps once. Unless someone plans to send me to sniper training and offer professional development sessions in marksmanship every week for the rest of my career, I will not be effective in a crisis situation. My medium is chalk, friends, not bullets!

Obviously, something must change in our nation, and we need to engage in conversations about meaningful, realistic solutions.

But trust me, arming teachers is not the answer.

Peace out.

Spring into these gift ideas Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I just received my greatly anticipated spring edition of the “Hammacher Schlemmer” catalog, which provides HUMOR a new opportunity to skewer their latest array of gifts.

The HS catalogs always begin with a letter from the chairman, John MacArthur. This issue’s introduction includes, “Discover our quality products, innovative products, products that are one of a kind, and unusual products…” One product they obviously don’t sell is a thesaurus.

Here are a few of my favorites from this spring edition: • The Year of Your Birth Folding Knife: There is a brand new uncirculated penny embedded in the handle that was minted in the year of your birth.

Murderers, you should avoid leaving a weapon like this behind, because it could help police identify you…unless you look great for your age. Or terrible.

• Voice Clarifying TV Speaker: This not only boosts the sound of dialogue but also “amplifies speech frequencies.” I have no idea what that means, but it might be the perfect gift for friends

who love British mysteries. They never know “who done it,” because they can’t understand a word the English actors are saying.

• The Silent Speaking Dog Toy: OK, hang on to your shih tzu. These are toys that make a soothing sound only your dog can hear. I think this is a fair question: How do you know when it’s broken? Or if it ever worked?

• The Barber Eliminator: Sadly, it’s not what I thought. It’s just an electric hair trimmer. I was hoping to find an easy way to tell the guy who’s been cutting my hair for 40 years that I’m ready to move on.

• The Gorilla in the Room: This is a 96-inch, inflatable PVC gorilla for those people who love the expression “800-pound gorilla in the room.” OK, this might be funny the first time your friends see it, but it will quickly become the 19-pound gorilla on eBay.

CHS grads sing winning tune

By Rick Morwick • rick@youarecurrent.com For as long as Molly O’Connor can remember, singing has been a central part of her life. She sang her first song before she took her first steps. She sang throughout grade school and junior high. She sang in show choir at CarMUSIC mel High School.

Now, she sings in an a cappella group at Ball State University that has qualified for a national competition.

“I’ve been singing since I could speak,” said O’Connor, a 2016 CHS graduate. “I was in choir for eight years and eventually was in the CarO’Connor mel Ambassadors as a junior and senior.”

Now, she sings in BSU’s mixed a cappella group, Sedoctave, which includes fellow CHS graduates Michael Robb, Cameron Cole and Jake Letts. Robb and Cole are senior telecommunications majors who sing bass. Letts is a freshman musical theater arts major who sings tenor. And O’Connor is a sophomore marketing and public Robb relations major who sings alto.

Last month, Sedoctave — for the second straight year — earned first place at the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella Midwest Quarterfinal with a 12-minute rendition of “It Don’t Mean a Thing.” The group will now compete in the March 10 ICCA Midwest Semifinal at Washington University in St. Louis.

The winner of that event advances to the April 21 ICCA Finals at the Beacon Theatre in New York City.

“In the week leading up to the (quarterfinals) show we worked

so hard to bring our set together, so the first emotion I had was being so proud of what we had accomplished as a group,” O’Connor said. “It was so rewarding to see the hard work pay off, and I was happy to see everyone else so happy.”

O’Connor not only sings in the group, she is its assistant coordinator and is the public relations chair for BSU’s chapter of the Association of Collegiate A Cappella. Joining the organization was a priority when she arrived on campus.

“I’ve been a member of ACA since my first week at Ball State as a freshman,” O’Connor said. “I love the family I’ve found in Sedoctave, and I love the opportunity it’s given me to sing Cole outside of school work. I’m a double-major in marketing and public relations, so in college, for the first time in seven years, none of my classes had anything to do with music.

“It’s always been a hobby and an outlet for me, so Sedoctave has allowed me to keep that in my life in addition to my classes, and I am so grateful for that.”

Letts Cole, 22, is a four-year member of the group.

He also is its coordinator. In that role, he plans and schedules all performances and organizes all logistics.

“I have really enjoyed watching this group grow,” Cole said.

“When I started in Sedoctave my freshman year, the group was in pretty much its first year as well. Seeing the growth and all the friendships that I have made during my time has definitely been something I really enjoy.”

Documentary to premiere

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com David Scotton always knew he was adopted. He grew up in Louisiana and was told about his FILM birth parents in Columbus, Ind., but never asked too many questions.

It wasn’t until his birth mother, Melissa Coles, decided to update her Scotton contact information with adoption law firm Kirsh & Kirsh, which is located on the Indianapolis/Carmel border on 96th Street, that Scotton decided he might want to meet his birth parents.

Benjamin Clapper, executive director of Louisiana Right to Life, asked Scotton if it was OK if a documentary film crew followed his journey to Indiana to meet his birth parents. What resulted is a short documentary film, “I Lived on Parker Avenue,” which will premiere free online March 8. An Indiana premiere will be held March 14 at The Studio Theater in Carmel. Steve Kirsh, Carmel resident and partner at Kirsh & Kirsh, will attend, along with Scotton

and several others involved with the film.

Admission is free but space is limited. To RSVP, visit ilivedonparkerave.com/indiana or by call the law firm at 317-575-5555.

In the movie, there’s a scene where Coles talks about entering an abortion clinic in Indianapolis and sitting on the table when she decides against having the procedure. She said she remembered a protesKirsch tor who said the baby had 10 fingers and 10 toes.

Clapper said he was moved by Scotton’s story but views the documentary as showing the positive aspects of adoption rather than demonizing anyone who chooses abortion.

“I really see this as a pro-adoption movie more than an anti-abortion movie,” he said.

In the movie, Coles told Scotton she was worried that he’d hate her for giving him up for adoption, but he responded that he wanted to thank her for what she did.

Wine for an Easter menu Commentary by Elizabeth Morse The promise of spring is peeking through now and then. It’s not nice weather, but you can celebrate this WINEderlust transition with some lighter wines as we ramp up to patio season. The bottles I’m going to suggest also are great choices with traditional Easter meals.

Serving salad that features asparagus is a great first course for a spring meal. I’m planning to make one that has fresh goat cheese and toasted walnuts. Domaine Moreux “Cuvée des Lys” Sancerre Rosé is my suggestion. It is made from Pinot Noir grapes and reminds me of fragrant strawberries, cherries and apricots. The acidity is bright and could be paired successfully with a strawberry and spinach salad, too ($23).

Next up: salty-sweet baked ham. I like to glaze ham, which would make pairing a big red wine, well, not good. Those flavors tend to clash. I’m opting for a light, yet flavorful and zesty Lambrusco. I’m not talking about the super-sweet cheap stuff. Try this tasty

17

sparkler: Lambrusco Salamino di Santa Croce ($18ish). Great for family gatherings since it’s low in alcohol. An excellent choice with a great piece of Parmesan cheese, too.

The finale of my Easter meal is a bakerystyle white cake with vanilla frosting. It’s often decorated with hundreds of jelly beans and maybe a Peep or two. You can go two directions here. If you really like bubbles, go with Michele Chiarlo Nivole Moscato d’Asti. This is a terribly pretty and fragrant wine from Italy that is a bit sweet, $12 for a 375-millilitre bottle. If it’s a chilly day and you’re looking for something more serious, opt for Bodegas Dios Baco Elite Amontillado Sherry. This fortified wine is not Mama’s cooking Sherry. It tastes like butterscotch and hazelnuts with a dry finish ($20). Cheers!

The modern definition of luxury in outdoor living is being redefined. At least, that’s my bold observation.

OUTDOOR I haven’t read it on Twitter, L I V I N G haven’t “Googled” it and Big Brother Amazon is not pushing out products under that title. No blogs (until now) have touted this revolution/evolution, but I am.

Think about it. Our collective generations are again appreciating the habits of outdoor living. Living commenced predominantly on our updated decks, crushed stone paths, jazzy brick patios with fire features to warm our hearts and thriving landscapes for all to sniff at and smile with.

3 components I believe there are three very distinct components of luxury in outdoor living. This bold observation is based on the hope that the basics of an outdoor living space are already established: patio, landscape and furniture. Here they are.

Low maintenance Our clients are telling us while they love the idea of enjoying their new space, they don’t want to spend the weekend weeding and cleaning. They want low-maintenance

living. Don’t we all.

Shade We also recognize, more than ever, that while we dig the sun, it’s best enjoyed in moderation. So, how do we create escape valves for shade?

Privacy Here’s another component our friendly clients are demanding. We love our neighbors (well, most of them), but we simply don’t want them to know what type of wine we are enjoying, book we are reading and conversation we are having when grilling out. Likely, the feeling is mutual.

Let’s dig deeper over the next few months into the stylish solutions for these luxury essentials. Sure, we will marry that with photo journals of amazingly cool patios, delicious landscapes, pergolas and other space essentials.

Do these three luxury essentials seem odd to you? Or, do they provocatively resonate with your hoped-for style of living?

Istanbul’s Tower of Flight Commentary by Don Knebel If your mental image of Istanbul does not include a 14th-century Romanesque hilltop tower overlooking a picturesque harbor, you probably need to revise TRAVEL your image. The cylindrical Galata Tower is also the site of a reported milestone in the history of human aviation.

In 1005 A.D., the once-poor Italian city-state of Genoa became the independent Republic of Genoa, with a fleet of ships sailing throughout the Mediterranean and beyond.

The Byzantine Empire, with its capital in Constantinople, was one of Genoa’s major trading partners. To facilitate that relationship, in 1267 Genoese traders established a colony on a hillside area called Galata across the Golden Horn from Constantinople, overlooking the harbor where an estuary called the Golden Horn meets the Bosporus, the narrow strait forming the border between Europe and Asia. In 1348, as a part of a defensive wall surrounding their colony, the Genoese built a 207-foot tall tower they named Christea Turris (Tower of Christ) atop the hill from which they could detect hostile forces approaching the harbor. In 1453, after a battle in which the Genoese were neutral, Islamic forces conquered Constantinople and renamed it Istanbul. The Galata Tower became a fire tower.

“My midlife crisis wasn’t a sports car.

It was a heart attack.”

– DAVE R.

He had just turned 49. He had just been to the gym. He had no idea he was about to have a heart attack. But within 25 minutes of entering the ER at Community Hospital South, Dave had a stent in place and disaster was averted. All because he knew the warning signs and took quick action. Now he encourages everyone to get an annual health screening. Like the ones Community Health Network holds at the elementary school where Dave is principal. Living proof you’re never too old to learn. Exceptional care. Simply delivered.
