Parental concern over Aleks math

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com

For Robbin Edwards, it is time for Zionsville Community Schools to re-evaluate its method of teaching math to middle schoolers. education “We are not griping parents here to attack teachers,” Edwards said at the May ZCS Board of Trustees meeting. “We’re not here to create an ‘us against you.’”

But she was there to present the board with facts and feedback from concerned parents who believe that Aleks, an online math program designed for students in the middle schools, is not educating students as it should.

Edwards told the board that, as a former educator, and the mother of ZCS students, she has seen a large gap in math learning between her children who did not use Aleks during middle school and those who have used it. “[Parents] are sort of at the back end of this,” she said.

According to Edwards, parents must spend hours of evening time with their children to complete their Aleks math work, using a program that is difficult to navigate.

She noted that the lack of real learning taking place with Aleks hurts students’ self-esteem and lowers their confidence in their math skills by the time they reach high school and are given a traditional paper and pencil to complete math work.

In an online survey that Edwards sent to more than 60 middle-school parents, only three responded with positive comments about Aleks. The other responses were all negative.

One part of Aleks that is frustrating for parents is the idea of completing the pie chart.

According to www.Aleks.com, the pie chart corresponds to what students are learning in their classrooms. Each “slice” of the online pie shows a particular area of the course. The website states that the degree to which each slice is filled by a darker color shows the extent to which the student has mastered that area.

Each slice of the pie may be opened to produce a list of concepts on which the student can choose to work.

“The mastery of a pie chart gives students a false positive,” Edwards said, noting that just because the pie chart is completed doesn’t mean the student

understands the work.

What the schools say Middle-school teachers are adamant that using Aleks is simply a tool, rather than a complete curriculum for learning mathematics.

Eighth-grade math teacher Missy Stringham said that she was “reamed across the coals” by parents after the first year of using Aleks.

“I listen to these concerns,” she said.

Stringham said that she hears what parents say, but is still teaching the same way she was before Aleks was introduced.

“I see [Aleks] as an online refresher,” she said.

ZCS board members empathized with Edwards and the parents’ concerns over Aleks.

“We take you seriously,” said board member Jim Longest. “This is what we’ve signed on to do, and we take it seriously. It’s our job.”

ZCS Superintendent Scott Robison said that their concerns “are valid” and that further research is being done to see how effective or Longest ineffective Aleks is for students of all math and learning levels.

“This is a serious review,” Robison said.

The board will continue to discuss the Aleks math program at the June 9 board meeting.

Top 5 senior breakfast

By Devynn Barnes • news@currentzionsville.com

Zionsville Comunity High School’s brightest graduating seniors gathered early last Thursday morning with their achievement families and their favorite teachers to celebrate their successes as the academic top five percent of their class. The select group of 22 students individually nominated a teacher from the Zionsville Community School system who had significantly impacted them, and then delivered a short speech about why they chose them. The earnest speeches made for an emotional and memorable breakfast.

The Rotary Club of Zionsville hosted the event at the St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in Boone Village.

After helping themselves to a wide spread of fruit, bagels, and breakfast pastries, the seniors and their nominated teachers took the stage one by one, exchanging heartfelt speeches about their admiration for one another.

“The lessons you have taught me will carry me far beyond the walls of our school,” senior Ryan Bing said of ZCHS history teacher Dave Rodgers.

The other students had similar sentiments for their selected teachers, ranging from those who had taught them in the third grade to senior year. In a particularly emotional exchange, senior Joshua Kirkham thanked Greg Kirkham for not only being the most influential teacher he’s had,

“The future is in good hands with leaders like Sam,” three-time honoree Lee Banitt said about former chemistry student Samantha Petrie.

but the best father as well.

“I told him my speech would be short because I’d be crying,” Joshua’s father said, adding that, “It’s truly a privilege to live with Josh.”

Lee Banitt, a former chemistry teacher at ZCHS now teaching at Hamilton Southeastern, took the morning to return to Zionsville and be honored by three separate top 5 percent students.

“Mr. Banitt is the best teacher I’ve ever hadit’s as simple as that,” senior Samantha Petrie said. Her classmates, Siena Cornacchini and Lindsey Wells felt the same way, as they too selected Banitt.

The group of outstanding students have exciting futures ahead of them, complete with college careers beginning at the University of Chicago, Vanderbilt, Purdue University, UNC Chapel Hill and many other impressive schools.

Women’s Health Alliance at St.Vincent Carmel Hospital is dedicated to offering a unique perspective on the needs of women. Take a moment and get to know a few of our experienced physicians:

Beki Denman, MD Trained in high-risk pregnancies, Dr. Denman has attended more than 4,000 births. Beki chose medicine a little later in life than the average person.

“I think I was just a late bloomer. I already had my family when I went to med school.

Now I really enjoy taking care of young people in ways like delivering babies and high-risk obstetrics.”

Married 38 years in April, Beki spends her free time sailing with her husband.

Beki’s health tip for women: “Staying active is probably the biggest thing.

You’ll stay younger longer. Don’t sit like a lump on a log.”

Stefanie A. Flora, MD Dr. Flora has a special interest in high-risk and normal-risk obstetrics, daVinci minimally invasive robotic surgery, and pelvic organ prolapse and incontinence care. “I like taking care of women, and that was really the reason I got into medicine. I think I wanted to make a difference in women’s lives.”

Stefanie lives in Zionsville with her husband and her two sons. “Right now, my life kind of revolves around my kids, who are 6 and 8. They’re at those fun ages where you don’t want to miss anything.”

Stefanie’s health tip for women: “Women really need to understand that they can’t do it all. They need to take

It’s better to slow down than get stressed out.”

Amy L. Moon, MD Dr. Moon has extensive experience with minimally invasive and other complex surgical procedures. A self-proclaimed “Hoosier girl” who went to IU schools for her undergraduate, med school and residency programs, Amy lives in Carmel with her blended family of eight children.

“They range from 22 down to 2. It’s a multi-tasking, calendar-driven lifestyle for the most part at our house. But it’s lots and lots of fun.”

Amy’s health tip for women: “I spend a lot of my day encouraging women to find an activity that they really love and enjoy and can do long-term. Once they start, they feel better and it helps a lot of things.”

Sara H. Murphy, MD Dr. Murphy is a board-certified OB/GYN and one of the few physicians in the Indianapolis area certified as a Menopausal Practitioner by the North American Menopause Society. An Indianapolis native, Sara was inspired to pursue medicine by a love of science cultivated by her father.

“My dad worked at Eli Lilly and Company.

He wasn’t a physician, but he was a research scientist. I love how medicine is a great practical application of science.”

Sara’s health tip for women: “One word: exercise.”

Town council approves merger

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com

There was an air of positivity in spite of the many questions asked inside Town Hall last week, all of which led to the Zionsville Town Council voting in favor of a reorganization town hall with Perry Township. This plan will now be on the November ballot for residents.

The council, led by President Jeff Papa, held a unified public hearing with the Perry Township Board of Trustees, led by board president Lee Giles. This public hearing comes after both groups completed first and second readings of the reorganization proposal and sent the plan’s fiscal analysis to the Indiana Dept. of Local Government Finance.

“This was about a voluntary offer,” Papa told the crowd, emphasizing that while Whitestown and Lebanon each have annexed parts of Perry Township, Zionsville is simply hoping for a reorganization and not a complete annexation.

Eight members of the Perry and Zionsville communities addressed the combined board and council.

On the Zionsville side, residents asked the council what benefits this reorganization would have for Zionsville residents, knowing that it will clearly help the Perry Township residents avoid an unwanted reorganization with Lebanon or Whitestown.

“I don’t really care about Perry Township,” said

Zionsville resident Jay Neel. “I’m coming with an opposition to this plan because … how is this beneficial to Zionsville?”

Neel said that there is no common culture or geography between Zionsville and Perry Township, in addition to there being no commonality between the two school systems. Lebanon Community Schools Corp. services Perry Township, while Zionsville Community Schools Corp. services Zionsville.

“I think for the long term this is not going to be good,” Neel said.

Ralph Stacy, a former member of the board to reorganize the town in 2010, questioned what benefits Perry Township would bring to Zionsville residents, and why now? Councilwoman Susan Suarez asked him: “Why not?”

According to a representative from the town’s financial advisors at Crowe Horwath, the tax increase to Perry residents is expected to be 0.1678. The increase to Zionsville residents will be 0.0065.

“I think this is a proactive [decision] for us,” Suarez said. “It sounds opportunistic but sometimes opportunistic can be smart government.”

Councilwoman Candace Ulmer was the only council member who voted against the merge.

Councilmen Steve Mundy and Tom Schuler were not present.

Students pave the way for safety

By Zach Manges • news@currentzionsville.com

A new high-intensity, well-lit crosswalk will completed this week at Whitesstreets town Park and County Road 700 East.

The original proposal for the crosswalk came from Zionsville West Middle School eighth-graders Theresa Bottorff, Kelsey Merril, Charlize Roe and Amelia Wilkie as part of a U.S. History project on local problems and citizen participation in government. They began by approaching Whitestown Town Manager Dax Norton with their plan.

“They wanted safe access to cross one of the busiest thoroughfares in Boone County to their school. And then there were retail opportunities as well as benefits for the soccer association,” Norton said. “A mixture of Whitestown and Zionsville residents will benefit from the project.”

The project was conceived to provide a way to cross the thoroughfare for the 174 students living in Royal Run who walk or bike to school, as well as patrons shopping in the area.

“Our council was supportive because it was a

safety issue. This group of students got together and presented with a problem that needed a remedy,” Norton said. “It’s just something that needed to be done.”

Though the project was started by Zionsville West Middle School students, the crosswalk will also help students at Stonegate Elementary School and Boone Meadow Elementary School, as well as pedestrians heading to nearby outlets like Village Dance Studio, McDonalds, and the new Meijer.

The project is to be completed before the end of the school year so the graduating eighthgraders can see the results of their earlier efforts. Norton emphasizes that the plan resulted from the professionalism and eagerness of the students to make a change, as well as the council itself.

“The students were persistent. They performed very well within the civic process and the elected officials did a great job of responding. We found a way to get it done very efficiently with minimal taxpayer impact,” Norton said. “It was wellplanned and in the end will be a great product.”

Dispatches IU Health North security transitions – Indiana University Health North Hospital’s Security Department will transition to a Police-Security Department in December. The change will provide increased security for hospital patients, guests and associates by having an armed police officer on campus 24/7. Garry Kimble, manager of protective services for IU Health North Hospital, has been named the chief of police.

Little Free Libraries: A great idea Commentary by Ward Degler

Genevieve Keegan-Bedano

Anne-Marie Briscoe

Public libraries in the area are crowing about their Little Free Libraries, and with good reason.

The small wooden boxes offer free books to anyone who passes by.

Free, as in, take any book Plain talk you want. No library card or rental fee required. No late fees either if you decide to keep it. Got one to return? Just stick it in the box.

The concept reportedly started a few years ago with a guy in Wisconsin who built one in his front yard. From there it spread around the country building a strong sense of community.

Actually, the idea started in New York years earlier. I was there on business and wandered around Central Park between meetings. There on an empty park bench was a book. I first thought someone had forgotten it.

Inside the front cover was a scribbled note: “Borrow this book,” it said. “When you finish, write your name below and return it to the bench.”

I recall it was a Stephen King book I had not read, so I took it. At my hotel I had a John Grisham novel that I had finished. I wrote my name in the front cover and placed it on the park bench.

Some time later I was back in the city where I dutifully returned the King book. I noticed more books sitting on benches in the area.

I picked up another one. This one had more than a dozen names scrawled inside.

Lamentably, I didn’t get back to New York for a long time, and I never returned the book.

I think this is a great idea with just one problem: We must resist the temptation to profit from it or burden it with rules and regulations.

Best of all, it disproves the dark theory that people don’t read anymore.

ZCHS to begin random drug testing of students

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com Samantha King* was 18 when she realized something was very wrong with her boyfriend. He was always running late, always making excuses, and never returning her calls.

Finally his parents told King that they COVER STORY feared the worst was happening; their son was falling back into his addiction to heroin.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, heroin is becoming the drug of choice for young people in America. It is cheaper than ever, and in a fast-paced American culture, allows its users to slow down with only a smidge of the powder inhaled or injected.

Hollywood’s own Cory Monteith died last year from a heroin overdose, as did the acclaimed actor Philip Seymour Hoffman.

And yet, this drug isn’t limited to the plights of wealthy actors.

It’s right here in Zionsville.

King, a Zionsville Community High School graduate, said heroin has been in Zionsville for the last few years. She has had numerous friends who have found themselves quickly addicted to the opiate.

Her now-former boyfriend, who declined to give an interview to Current, completed expensive drug treatments for his heroin addiction, with his parents paying more than $30,000 for the bill every time.

“It was really sad to watch,” King, now 23 and a married mother of two, said.

In recent police reports, several Zionsville residents have been arrested for the possession of heroin. One woman arrested last year, at age 21, was a ZCHS graduate and well-known drug user.

On Jan. 15, 2010, Charles Roberts, 21, a 2008 ZCHS graduate, was found dead from a heroin overdose in his parents’ Zionsville home.

Roberts At the time, Boone County Sheriff Ken Campbell said that while meth is on the rise around the nation, there are several heroin dealers in Zionsville, which has led to an increase use of the drug in this area.

Drug use in the schools Aside from the normal usage of marijuana (which the CDC states is used by 22 percent of all high school seniors), steroids and nicotine, heroin is the single-most addicting drug grabbing the attention of young people – and their concerned parents – everywhere.

At the May 12 Zionsville Community Schools Corp. Board of Trustees meeting, ZCHS principal Tim East addressed the board with a proposal to introduce random drug testing at the high school in order to combat high school drug use.

This comes after a school year during which drugs have been a constant concern for school East officials.

East said that ZCHS most recently had 17 students suspended as a result of illicit drug use, and nine more students who were punished for using tobacco products.

Last year, a drug advisory committee was formed between parents, students and school administrators. This group has been working alongside Midwest Toxicology Services, a company that conducts random drug tests in the high schools of Westfield, Noblesville, Fishers and Brownsburg.

Susie Fields is the sales representative from Midwest Toxicology assisting the ZCHS advisory group in its plan to conduct random drug tests.

“This advisory group is probably the most diligent high school group I’ve ever worked with,” Fields said. “The students really care about getting drugs out of their school.”

She said that in the past two years, her company has seen a “huge upswing” in the number of high schools asking for drug testing materials Fields as a result of widespread heroin use in Central Indiana.

“This program is about deterring students from using,” Fields said. “But then the advisory group is working to establish how can we help the students who test positive.”

How it would work East said that he knows not every student uses hard drugs, but

Call the Drug Task Force The Boone Co. Drug Task Force, which works closely on a team with the Metropolitan Drug Task Force and the Hamilton Co. Drug Task Force, aims to identify and arrest individuals or members of organizations that are selling, delivering or storing illegal drugs or weapons.

Updated statistics from the Hamilton/Boone Drug Task Force combined team show that in one recent year, the task force investigated numerous cases resulting in the removal of illegal drugs with a street value in excess of $2 million dollars and asset forfeitures of nearly $400,000.

Anyone wishing to report any type of illegal drug activity in Boone or Hamilton Counties should contact the Hamilton/ Boone County Drug Hotline at 571-2545. All callers may remain anonymous. that he doesn’t want parents and the community to have a “false sense of security.”

ZCHS already conducts breathalyzer tests, which test for alcohol on the breaths of students, before school dances.

Random drug testing would pertain to any student that is involved in an extracurricular activity, drives to school, or attends school functions.

Testing would take place on unannounced days, inside a mobile trailer parked in the ZCHS parking lot. The trailer does not have running water, so students would not be able to water down any urine samples. They would also not be allowed to carry in backpacks or purses.

According to Fields, ZCHS will pay between $31 and $36 for each student tested. The number of students tested on a given day will depend on how much money the school allots to the program.

Test results would be confidential and only disclosed to school staff. A student who tests positive for drug use would not be suspended or reported to law enforcement. Rather, they would lose the privilege of participating in their sport or extracurricular activity.

East said the student would be retested within a month.

“In a perfect world we would have no possible hits,” he said.

Fields said she is hopeful that the program will be a success in Zionsville, with only minimum backlash from parents and students.

“I think it will be successful,” she said. “The goal is to help kids and get them back to living a healthy life if they are abusing drugs.” *Name changed to protect source A representative from Midwest Toxicology Services will attend the June 9 ZCS Board of Trustees meeting to continue the discussion of random drug testing at ZCHS.

FROM THE BACKSHOP

Circling back on roundabout Last week’s news of the Town of Zionsville’s decision to forestall until 2015 construction of the roundabout at Ford Road and Bloor Lane was an appropriate move. There are myriad property-acquisition issues that need to be settled first. It’s prudent for the town to get those out of the way before transforming the intersection. The town said land-acquisition of a key parcel was been complicated by the fact that the property is in foreclosure. Too, the town said, the construction would have been during the school year, and that would have posed transit problems for the buses and other vehicles that traverse that junction.

When the town finally acquires the land and the roundabout is built, it will pay off in spades for resident motorists.

••• In recent weeks, we’ve been taken to task for our “Republican views.” Here’s a concise summary of our responses: WRONG! People are quick to confuse conservatives, which we are, with Republicans, which we’re not. Well, we are, sort of, because the antiquated primary election laws force you and us to declare a party of choice. So, we hold our noses tighter than a C-clamp could and reluctantly select R. That has to change. We sincerely doubt there will be revision of the law anytime soon, but that’s beside the point. We’re for what seemingly most of the rest of the nation is against: less spending, smaller government, priority on justice and defense and zero self-interest at any level of government. We may be classified as dreamers, but that’s who we are, and that’s what some of our editorial comments in this space stand for. We firmly believe the twoparty system to be not any longer what our founding fathers brought us. It’s drenched in everything we just told you we’re against.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Trend bender Commentary by Terry Anker The world of that which is hip, cool, in-style or otherwise fashionable is slowly slipping from the realm of my comprehension. Maybe it is simply because I am the father of two teenage sons. Maybe it is because I spend a lot more time these days reading balance sheets than GQ. Maybe it is just because the calendar is catching up with me. Regardless of the genesis, my expectation of what might be a particularly stylish, edgy or alternative is woefully overrated. While my kids and their friends are kind enough, politely pointing out the error in my understanding of current pop culture, I know that these matters are no longer in my dominion. And maybe they shouldn’t be.

A well-meaning jokester sent around by Twitter a witticism-of-the-day. We used to do this via facsimile sending blurry images but now it is via a link to a YouTube video. This was of a young man in a car being all-too-excited by a

song on the radio. I laughed at what I thought was the point of the humor – the youngster had not shown restraint in hearing the popular music – but I was way off target. The joke, it seems, was that this kid was enjoying the radio instead of playing what was abundantly obviously his favorite song on his phone or iPod or whatever device. How barbaric is it to wait for a disc jockey to spin the album?

What else do I imagine as classic which others see as hopefully out of style? Hotels used to emulate ancient Tuscan villas. Now they all claim to be modern spas. Is any of it real? Does it matter? Even as trends bend and styles wane, one is reminded that cool is an imagined construct.

Doesn’t knowing this secret ensure our hipness?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.”

– Bob Dylan

It’s funny how sometimes just a little thing can completely change your mood. Take my Mother’s Day weekend, humor for example. Saturday began poorly, as I had to endure eight hours of dance hell in the bowels of Lucas Oil Stadium while my youngest competed for a total of nine minutes. On the drive home, my husband compounded my misery by telling me he wouldn’t be returning from out of town that night as planned, but rather the following morning. He was having such a good time with everyone he didn’t want the fun to end! Never mind that Sunday was supposed to be my day, the one all year where I am to be pampered and loved. Even with the promise of a DQ turtle sundae, I was extremely frustrated by the time I pulled into my driveway.

Then I discovered that while I was eating over-priced popcorn and judging other dance moms, my younger son and his best friend had literally disappeared. Reports (and his lowjacked phone) had them at Clay Terrace, three miles from our house. This was weird, as they had already walked there earlier in the day.

My calls of course went unanswered. Hoping he was either in a store or actively riding his bike, I took a self-imposed time-out to watch a DVRed Glee episode and cloak my bitterness in hot fudge and caramel. By 8:15 though, and with only forty-five minutes until said friend was to be picked up, concern (and darkness) set in.

I knew nothing bad had happened, but very quickly every worst-case scenario I could imagine was becoming a genuine possibility in my head. Angry with my spouse, exhausted from the dance competition, and entertaining thoughts of Amber Alerts and ER runs, I headed off muttering Hail Marys and curses in quick succession.

Halfway to the mall I found my 12-year-old, red-faced and laughing, peddling his little heart out down the sidewalk. Relief flooded through me, followed by a huge grin. Trailing his bike were a dozen purple and white balloons, ribbons and all it took but minutes once back home to understand the balloons weren’t for me though, as high-pitched giggles came echoing up the basement stairwell. These two tween-age boys had spent their entire Saturday plotting to acquire helium for the chance to talk like Looney Toons characters!

And that, my friends, completely changed my outlook. As a mother, seeing pure joy on the face of one of your children is the best remedy for a crappy day. Peace out.

Don’t like the federal government?

It’s up to you to make a change Commentary by John Krom

Are you fed up with Washington? If not, and you think things are fine, then keep doing what you’re doing – voting Republican, opinion Democrat or just not voting at all. Then nothing will change – except, of course, the deficit will continue to rise (your portion is only $55,000, or $220,000 for a family of four) and federal agencies will continue to encroach on your freedom (for your own good, they say).

But if you are concerned about where America is headed and think we need to change direction, then you need to change direction. Einstein said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Republicans, if you keep voting Republican, and Democrats, if you keep voting Democrat, and non-voters, if you keep not voting, don’t expect different results. If you don’t change, Washington won’t change.

I used to be a Republican because I thought they were the party of small government. But then I discovered that Republicans have controlled the House of Representatives, where spending bills must originate, for 14 of the past 18

years, and our deficit grew from less than $5 trillion to more than $17 trillion. Four of those years, they controlled not only the House, but also the Senate and the White House, and the deficit still increased $2.2 trillion. Republicans say they’re for small government, but their actions speak otherwise.

I’ve changed. I joined the Libertarian Party. Libertarians truly believe in individual freedom, free enterprise and small, limited government – only large enough to protect us and our property from those who would use force to harm us, yet small enough not to overstep its authority.

The Libertarian Party has selected me to be on the November ballot for Indiana’s fifth congressional district. If you agree with me that we need to change direction, please take a look at my website, www.kromforcongress.com.

Our future, our children’s future and our grandchildren’s future depend on your getting involved!

My main squeeze

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

I love juice. All kinds of juice. We bought one of those expensive juicers – so every morning I stick in a banana, half an apple, humor some grapes and a pear. Then I push the button and bingo: a banana, half an apple, some grapes and a pear. No juice; more like a still-life painting (with a whirring sound in the background). Any clue what I did wrong?

By the way, don’t confuse me with the 85-year-old guy on TV who hawks his own juice maker. He says that because he drinks juice every day, he has just fathered triplets. This was not a motivating factor for me to drink juice. In fact, I’m going to lay off the juice starting when I’m 83. I’m not taking any chances. And even though my wife will be 79 then, I’m taking the V-8 away from her, also.

My long association with juice has made me a keen observer of some conundrums, juicy little tidbits about this healthful food source.

1. Why is there no raisin juice? There is prune juice, which is from dried up plums.

Why not raisin juice? If you can squeeze a prune, why can’t you squeeze a raisin?

2. Prune juice is actually plum juice. You can’t get juice from a prune. I don’t care what I said in the last point. They call it prune juice so seniors will buy it.

3. Apple juice contains 100 percent of your daily requirement of Vitamin C, but apple cider has no Vitamin C. Where did the Vita-

min C go?

4. If vegetable juice is fat free, why is vegetable oil 100 percent fat? I’ve been asking that question for 10 years and still haven’t gotten an answer I like.

5. Why is there no cantaloupe juice? Cantaloupes are just waiting to be squeezed.

They are full of juice. But it’s cruel and inhuman, like not milking a cow.

6. Does white grape juice stain like red grape juice, but you just can’t see the stain? (This will keep you up all night, so don’t think about it too much.)

7. Why does orange juice in a can taste like grapefruit juice? Trust me, it does.

8. Why can’t I get grape juice with pulp?

9. Why did lemonade become such a hit? Who handled the PR for limeade, anyway?

10. If orange juice is 100 percent juice, then what is concentrate? Maybe 500 percent juice?

11. Some orange juice has no pulp. I like pulp.

What did they do with the pulp? Did they throw it out? I wouldn’t mind buying some extra pulp. I’d put it in my grape juice.

12. Why is all grape juice from concentrate?

You can buy fresh orange juice, and fresh grapefruit juice, but no fresh grape juice.

Teenage vocal sensation comes to The Palladium Jackie Evancho, discovered on ‘America’s Got Talent’ at age 10, will sing classical songs

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com In some ways, Jackie Evancho is your average 14-year-old. Right now, she’s studying for her finals as the school year comes to a close. She is about to take her Keystone Exams – Pennsylvania’s stanmusic dardized test, just like Indiana’s ISTEP exams. She likes to go to movies with her friends, play with her four dogs and go to church with her family every Sunday.

But she also performed in front of President Obama at the lighting of the White House Christmas Tree and she has acted in a film with Robert Redford.

And with her 2010 release, Evancho became the youngest solo artist in history to go platinum.

Ever since she sang on “America’s Got Talent” at age 10, Evancho has been touring the country and filling concert halls. She hits the notes throughout the scales and sings with a precise skill comparable to trained vocalists who have studied for decades.

Evancho will bring her warm soprano voice to the Palladium on June 1.

She’s performing a weekend show because her parents try to limit her performances on weekdays. After learning through online school for years as she toured, Evancho said she started back up in public school in January. Now her parents want her to have time to be a normal teenager.

“My parents don’t have to overload my schedule because they do want me to have time at home and be a normal kid,” she said.

Of course, when you spend your weekends singing to thousands of people, it’s hard to blend in. Evancho said it’s nice to make new friends, but sometimes it can be, “annoying because there is always the middle school drama now.”

There’s the typical teenage drama of girls being jealous of other girls.

But Evancho said she’s grateful to meet people who like her for who she is, not because she has released four albums. And to those that might prejudge her, it’s their loss, she said.

“People won’t give me the time of day to know me. That’s why I have such few friends, but the friends I do have are really good friends,” she said. “I’m really happy with the friends I have. I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

As she’s gotten older, Evancho said she’s received a lot more responsibility and she really enjoys taking charge of her career. She loves working with charities such as the Humane Society and traveling the country, but she eschews the celebrity attitude and lifestyle. To her, the reason she loves the job is because she loves to perform. Ever since she watched the movie version of “The Phantom of the Opera,” she said she wanted to sing on stage. And when she performs, everything else melts away.

“When I’m on stage, I don’t actually think of anything,” she said. “That’s why I say the music possesses me. I sometimes don’t even remember what happened.”

She’s got a lot on her plate, but Evancho said the busy schedule never

hen Joan called Jennifer on a brisk afternoon in February, she was dreaming of warmer weather out west.

Her 30+ year home in Zionsville had become an anchor to Indiana, and she longed for a move to Arizona where her daughter & grandchildren waited. Unfortunately, she’d been trying to sell her house off & on since 2006 with a variety of other brokers, but their efforts had resulted in nothing more than frustration, one insulting offer, and fading hope. Jennifer loves to be the last agent in, & it became her personal mission to make sure a moving truck was headed to Arizona ASAP! But Joan was exhausted with the selling process. She wasn’t up for more staging ideas, any more changes to the house or another stressful open house. It was obvious this one would need special attention. The house was reintroduced to the market on March 1st with careful attention. After a handful of showings, two offers were produced. The second was acceptable, and the packing began by the end of April!

When you’re looking for the perfect ending to your own housing saga, trust Jennifer to write it for you!

Keeping the Songbook alive

By Zach Manges • news@currentzionsville.com The 2014 Great American Songbook Vocal Academy & Competition Midwest regional round took place on May 17 in Ann Arbor, music Mich., where Zionsville Community High School senior Annie Weidner competed and placed as an alternate for the finals.

The Great American Songbook Initiative was created in 2007 by Michael Feinstein for the preservation and promotion of music from the early and middle 20th century.

With a mission statement of “to inspire and educate by celebrating the Great American Songbook,” the initiative’s aims are accomplished with an extensive archive, gallery exhibitions, and educational programs. Through the competition, talented students are given the opportunity to help maintain that culture.

“This competition is truly a one-of-a-kind experience. I learned so much, not only from the brilliant mentors, but from my peers as well,” Weidner said. “It was inspiring to spend the day with such passionate musicians who love this timeless music as much as I do.”

The competition begins with an audition of two songs submitted online by high school students across the country. Musical educators and industry professionals evaluate the submissions and pick 10 students per region to move to the second round, where chosen performers participate in a day of master classes and workshops, culminating in a concert where the educators choose two students to move to the final round.

With such stiff competition, a strong voice alone isn’t enough to win a spot.

“Besides vocal ability and stage presence, the most important trait for competitors is the ability to be open to feedback and open to trying new

things,” Chris Lewis, director of programs, said.

“Our competition mentors often rework musical arrangements or ask students to try different musical approaches.”

Though this competition began five years ago as a small weekend-long event for local singers, it has since expanded to include 31 states nationwide and six regional rounds, with the final round at the Palladium lasting five days and selling out every year thus far. Despite the scale of the event, though, it’s clear the deeper significance of it is not lost on its talented performers.

“This music is a lot more than just notes on a page,” Weidner said. “Music is the ultimate form of expression, a way to reveal what’s truly in our hearts.”

THE CARE YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR.

WITHOUT THE WAIT.

The Westfield Parks Dept. has created a new monthly program for ages 50 and older to get out and meet new people.

“Bingo Brunch is a program diversion that came from requests by certain community members. They reached out suggesting a place they could do some activity, meet new friends and play games,” said Brittany Goger, recreation program coordinator. “By offering this program we reach out directly to the senior community.”

Goger said Bingo Brunch also provides the Westfield Parks Programming Facility, 330 East Main St., to be used for more activities.

“We get people in there and utilize it for what it was really built for,” she said. “It’s a good opportunity for a lot of different people.”

Dates for the first three programs are June 4, July 9 and Aug. 6. Each event runs 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Goger said the program begins with food and time to socialize and is followed by an hour of Bingo with prizes.

“We will play seven rounds of Bingo with a cover-all to end the event,” she said.

The first brunch on June 4 will be catered by Chick-fil-A, but Goger said different food selections will be offered at each event.

“We’ll have a different theme for each one so hopefully they’ll keep coming back,” she said.

Cost is $10 per person, per program and covers food and activities.

Goger said the first three events are sponsored by Magnolia Springs at Bridgewater.

“We’re reaching out to different businesses to partner with us to donate prizes in gift cards,” she said. “It’s an opportunity for them to get their name out and new people in their stores.”

Those interested in participating in the Bingo Brunch can register by visiting www.westfield. in.gov/department/?structureid=128 or calling 804-3183. Goger said registrations also can be made in person at the City Service Center, 2728 E. 171st St. F. C. Tucker Company’s

Shed extra pounds – the right way Commentary by Debra Balos, DO If losing weight is one of your health goals, it’s important to know the best ways to shed unwanted pounds. As you wellness might expect, fad diets are not the answer. In addition to depriving your body of the variety of nutrients you need to stay healthy, fad dieting is not sustainable, and many people eventually regain the weight.

The best approach to weight loss – and maintaining an ideal weight – is to develop good eating habits and lifestyle behaviors that include regular physical activity. Here are some tips: • Choose fruits and vegetables – Eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Be sure to select a variety to ensure you’re getting all the nutrition you need.

• Manage portion sizes – Be mindful of portions. Because portion sizes have increased in recent years, cutting portion sizes in half can help you manage daily calorie intake.

Serve dinner on salad-size plates instead of dinner plates or pack snacks in small baggies instead of reaching into the box or bag.

When dining out, consider ordering a half portion or share an entrée with a spouse or friend.

• Eliminate the junk – Take time to rid your pantry and refrigerator of junk food and foods that are high in calories, fat or sugar.

Stock up on fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds and fat-free or low-fat dairy foods.

Avoid drinks like sodas and fruit juices that contain sugar.

• Eat small meals several times a day – Instead of three large meals, plan to eat five or six times daily, spacing these smaller meals three to four hours apart. This helps keep your metabolism burning calories throughout the day.

• Get moving – Schedule time for physical activity. Adults should get at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise, such as brisk walking, each week. Divide the 150 minutes into small blocks of time – 10 to 20 minutes – if it’s easier to schedule these shorter periods into your day.

Talk to your primary care doctor about your ideal weight and ask for additional advice to help you achieve success with weight loss or in maintaining optimal weight.

Zionsville homes sell at rapid clip Commentary by Jim Litten

With average central Indiana home prices reaching $165,238 in April 2014, home sales prices are up 8.2 percent comReal estate pared to April 2013.

Seven of the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks experienced slightly higher home sales prices in the first four months of 2014 compared to the same time period last year.

Boone County was one of the areas that saw improvement with a 5.9 percent increase, bringing the average price to $262,724, year-to-date.

• In Zionsville, the overall average sales price slipped modestly by 1.4 percent to $343,644 from $348,467 compared to the same time period last year.

• Of the home sales in Zionsville last month, two were priced $1 million to $2 million; three were priced $500,000 to $1 million; 12 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 15 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; and two were priced $100,000 to $199,999.

• Inventory continues to tighten in Zionsville.

Last month, there were 202 homes avail-

able for sale, while there were 221 homes on the market April 2013.

• Homes in Zionsville are selling at a faster pace. So far this year, homes have stayed on the market an average of 83 days compared to 102 days last year.

• Home sales have been slow to thaw from the harsh winter conditions. In April 2014, 34 homes in Zionsville sold, which is a decrease of 30 homes compared to April of last year.

While we would have expected to see sales increase, given the low interest rates, it’s difficult to directly compare last month’s home sales against April 2013. It’s an apples-to-oranges comparison because April 2013’s sales were the highest we’ve seen in central Indiana.

Still, we’re encouraged that April 2014’s sales marked the fourth month-to-month improvement, an indication the market is moving in the right direction.

Indonesian ginger chicken and jasmine tea rice What I like the most about traveling is that it pushes you out of your comfort zone and into new adventures. Fifteen years ago my husband and I went to Bali. What struck me the most was the Balinese banquets with an array of luscious and exquisite dishes.

This week, travel in your imagination to the exotic and fascinating country of Indonesia. This is a mouth-watering dish; the delicious aroma will float in your kitchen!

Note: In Asia, ginger is called the “Mother of all Healing” and for good reason. Ginger has amazing healing properties; it fights colds, nausea, digestion issues, stomach aches and many other ailments. A bottle of ginger extract is a great addition to your medicine cabinet.

I freeze unpeeled whole ginger in a zipper bag for a couple of months; frozen ginger is easier to grate.

INDONESIAN GINGER CHICKEN AND JASMINE TEA RICE Prep time: 15 minutes / cook time: 1 hour / serves: 4 to 6 Ingredients: • 1 cup honey • 3/4 cup soy sauce • 1/4 cup minced garlic (8 to 12 cloves) • 1/2 cup peeled and grated fresh ginger root • 2 (3 1/2 pound) organic chickens, quartered Directions: 1. Cook the honey, soy sauce, and ginger root in a small saucepan over low heat until the honey is melted. Arrange chicken pieces in 1 layer in a shallow baking pan, skin side down, and pour on the sauce. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Marinate overnight in the refrigerator.

2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the baking pan in the oven and bake for 30

minutes. Uncover the pan, turn the chicken skin side up, and raise the temperature to 375 degrees F. Continue baking for 30 minutes or until the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh and the sauce has a rich, dark brown appearance.

JASMINE RICE Prep time: 5 minutes / cook time: 20 minutes / serves : 6 Ingredients: • 1 tablespoon loose jasmine tea (or 1 tea bag) • 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt • 2 cups jasmine rice • 1/2 cup chopped parsley or cilantro Directions: 1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat, and add tea; cover and let steep 5 minutes. Strain, discard tea leaves (or bag), and reserve brewed tea. Return brewed tea to saucepan, add salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Add rice; cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until tea has been absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Add herb and fluff with a fork. Serve immediately.

Temple Wall at Edfu. (Photo by Don Knebel)

The ark or Edfu Commentary by Don Knebel

People have long speculated about the fate of the Ark of the Covenant the Bible says the Israelites carried during their Exodus travel from Egypt. Although of no help on that question, a well-preserved Egyptian temple may provide clues about the origins of that famous box.

The Temple of Edfu was built by the Greek rulers of Egypt beginning in the third century B.C. to honor Horus, the falcon god of the sky. Following the model of much earlier temples, a small statue of Horus resided in a niche in the temple’s Holy of Holies, accessible only by the pharaoh and the high priest. Priests occasionally transported the god statue away from the temple in an ark (box) resting in a miniature boat carried on two poles.

A replica of the ark now displayed in the Holy of Holies is based on a wall relief showing the ark with its poles sitting on a pedestal in a boat floating on the Nile. Two bird-like creatures face each other above the ark, their wings extending over the seat on which Horus sat.

So what does Edfu’s ark of Horus have to do with the Ark of the Covenant? According to the

Bible, the Ark of the Covenant, enthroning the invisible Jewish God, was carried on two poles attached by rings to the base. The Ark incorporated two “cherubim” facing each other, their wings extending over the “mercy seat” from which God spoke. When the Israelites built their Temple in Jerusalem, they ensconced the Ark in its Holy of Holies, which the Jewish High Priest entered once each year. Jewish soldiers carried God in the Ark as they went to battle the Philistines.

The Temple of Edfu was built following the Exodus. So the ark of Horus might have drawn on descriptions of the Ark of the Covenant. The striking resemblances could be coincidental.

However, temples erected before the Exodus contain similar, less-well-preserved, images of arks transporting Egyptian gods. It seems likely that the Israelites, as they left Egypt, carried their invisible God in an ark similar to the ones with which they were familiar.

After 15 years: Master bath design with resale in mind Commentary by Larry Greene EXISTING BATHROOM: The owners of this home, located in Southport, had lived with their early ’90s master blueprint for bathroom for 15 years. improvement “Knowing that we will someday sell the house, we knew the bathroom would deter people from purchasing the home. We decided we might as well have the work done now so we can enjoy it until moving day comes.”

BATHROOM DESIGN ELEMENTS: “Switching out the hunter green for a clutter-free and Asian-inspired design were the main goals for our master bathroom.” To achieve this look, several components were added. To separate the tub and shower area from the rest of the bathroom, black pebble tile was installed as a shower accent wall and for the shower and tub floor. Eastern Blanco wall tile with standard white grout was chosen to compliment the black pebble tile giving the area the “sleek look” the homeowners had envisioned.

FREE-STANDING TUB: To add to the Asian-inspired look, the homeowners selected a Victoria + Albert free-standing tub. Not only is the tub designed to fit in a smaller space, but the material itself is made of finely ground volcanic limestone called “Quarrycast” – making it lightweight, warm to the touch and easy to clean.

CUSTOM VANITY & COUNTERTOP: Designed for functionality, the custom double vanity not

before & after

RESULT: All elements came together to give the homeowners the Asian-inspired bathroom of their dreams. “The tub is our favorite part of the whole bathroom. We love the clean lines and the angles of the tub. It is the perfect spot to relax after a long day.”

only provides extra storage space, but it also was designed to keep the countertop clutter-free. Two full-extension drawer stacks installed on the outsides of the base cabinetry give ample storage space for toiletries and other bathroom supplies. Elevated tower cabinets installed on the outsides of the Corian countertop are perfect for hiding electrical outlets and cords.

Because the homeowners did not like wall-mounted lighting, a custom bulkhead with matching crown was built to house the recessed lighting directly above the vanity. To complete the look, brushed satin nickel cabinet hardware and plumbing fixtures were installed.
