Yet 18 years into her teaching career, she is among the top 10 finalists for the 2023 Indiana Teacher of the Year award, as re cently announced by the Indiana Dept. of Education.Hine,who teaches first grade at Union Elementary School in Zionsville Community Schools, said she felt particularly humbled to be nominated for the award because she feels she is continuing to learn how to im prove as an educator.
The Indiana Teacher of the Year will be announced later this fall. Joshua DeBard of the Lebanon Community School Corp. is also a top 10 finalist. The overall winner will “work to help elevate the teaching profes sion in Indiana, as well as represent Hoosier teachers at the national level,” according to the Indiana Dept. of Education.

Within the classroom, Hine said positive reinforcement and clear boundaries are the key to making sure the teacher and the students are comfortable as the school year progresses.“It’simportant that teachers are inten tional and vulnerable with their students,” Hine said. “Show them that teachers make mistakes, too, and that you’re human just like them. That goes a long way to help build your classroom community.”

PLAIN TALK
10 September 13, 2022 Current in Zionsville currentzionsville.com COMMUNITY
A word or two about high school culture back then. First and foremost, guys wore Levis and nothing but Levis. Only a weirdo would wear Wranglers. Levis were cool. Nothing else was.
Next, they had to be faded. We didn’t go for holes in them like kids do today, but they had to look heavily worn. A half-dozen trips through the washing machine gave us the proper level of fatigue.
I’ve been strutting around the house to day in a new pair of Levis. My wife bought them online when she noticed they were on sale.
To complement our Levis, most of us wore penny loaf ers. Tennies hadn’t hit the market yet, although some of use wore engineer boots, the kind with buckles on the side.
with PNC Bank for 15 years and Class Act Credit Union for 7 years. Amy endured significant loss in her life but never lost her strength, her faith, her beautiful and positive spirit, her love for people and her bright smile. She was beloved by everyone who knew her and will be greatly missed.Amywas preceded in death by her sister Kim in 1981, mother Maggie in 1991, father Don in 1992, and her beloved husband Mark in 2010. She is survived by her uncle, Dick Uhl and her aunt, Mary Uhl of Fish Creek, WI and cousins Eric Uhl and Holly Grupp. Donations in Amy’s honor can be made to The American Heart Association of Indiana and The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
Third, we wore them without a belt. Only the guys who wore Wranglers wore belts. We tucked our shirts in and balanced our unbelted Levis on our hips. Cool.
That was the special thing about Levis when I was in high school. They had to be washed before you could wear them. In fact, they had to be washed multiple times in bleach water. That was how we got the color faded so we could look cool wearing them.

There’s a crispness to them they will lose when they are washed.
Too cool for school
Levis aren’t the holy grail anymore. Of course, few of us smoke and almost no one wears engineer boots. Still, it’s important to be cool when strutting around in a new pair of jeans. And best of all, Levi has already done the fading for us.
Fourth, we never, but never rolled up the legs of our Levis. We wore them straight and unfurled. And when the hem at the bot tom got threadbare, that was even cooler. Most of us smoked in those days (our high school even had a smoking lounge), and we positioned our packs of cigarettes in our Levi pockets, so the tops of the packs showed. This was to distinguish us from the motorcycle rid ers who kept their cigs rolled up in their T-shirt sleeves.

Two days earlier, Witsken had been at the U.S. Open in New York watching his neph ew, Ben Shelton, lose in five sets to Nuno Borges in the first round. Shelton, a former University of Florida player who captured the singles title at the NCAA Division I Ten nis Championships in May, turned pro just before the U.S. Open.
U.S. Open, match against Brees
pro and Zionsvile resident, who died at age 34 in 1998 of brain cancer.
Witsken, a Carmel High School graduate, was a two-time IHSAA state singles champi on and played collegiately at the University of Alabama. He still coaches tennis and is the Zionsville Middle School boys and girls tennis coach. But pickleball has become a major part of his life. He has coached for 11 years and played professionally for eight years.
Witskenarea.and his longtime teaching pro P.A. Nilhagen run Team Witsken Tennis and Pickleball“I’dsay my love for tennis and pickleball is the same, but the growth of pickleball has been unbelievable,” Witsken said.
Shelton is the son of former ATP Tour player Bryan Shelton and Witsken’s sister Lisa. The elder Shelton was a friend of Witsken’s brother Todd, a former ATP Tour
Witsken had finished second in men’s sin gles and won the men’s doubles in a pickle ball tournament Aug. 28 in Philadelphia.

ACHIEVEMENT
Stretch Zone is one of the possibilities. Brees, former Purdue University and New Orleans Saints star quarterback, is one of the Stretch Zone franchise owners along with two former Purdue teammates, Ben Smith and Jason Loerzel.
Rick Witsken had a week to remember.
In a span of a week, Witsken played in two pickleball tourna ments, watched his nephew play in the U.S. Open and played a pickleball match with former NFL great Drew Brees.
“Pickleball has become a huge part of my life,” the 51-year-old Zionsville resident said. “On the pro senior circuit, I am basically the top player now, so I have businesses who want to sponsor me.”
“Ben is really entertaining and the crowd really likes to get behind him,” Witksen said. “To see your nephew playing in the limelight was really neat.”
“Drew loves pickleball and owns a major league pickleball team,” Witsken said. “Drew is a very good player. I hit my drives as far as I could at him and he was getting them back. I told him, ‘Avoiding those pass rush ers really helped your reflexes.’
It was Witsken’s first trip to the U.S. Open, where his brother Todd pulled his biggest win, upsetting Jimmy Connors in the third round in 1986.
In 2022, he has captured 17 gold medals and 25 silver medals in pickleball tourna ments in men’s singles, men’s doubles and mixed doubles. He also holds clinics in some of the cities where he plays pro events. Witsken and his wife, Bridget, run a pro pickleball tournament in June in the India napolis

Might make a cry run
Recently, I received a text from my youngest sister saying she’d just ex perienced a cry run, where one bursts into tears while jogging. I asked why, and she replied that she’d been think ing about our father who passed away in 2020. Then my twin chimed in. She, too, had been remembering Dad and had spent the morning a little weepy. Sisters 2 and 3 followed with similar remarks, and I was left wondering what was going on. Why was everyone sad? When a photo came through from the cemetery, it finally dawned on me: It was the two-year anniversary of Dad’s death, and I’d forgotten. Like, completely and totally forgotten. If I hadn’t been singing John Denver in a hallway full of teens at the exact moment of this discovery, I would have fallen apart. But Friday karaoke must go on, so I stifled my emotions and continued mangling, “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” Take me home, indeed.
ESSAY
QUOTE OF THE WEEK

HUMOR
Mid-century country crooner Roger Miller penned an iconic song in 1964 retelling the story of the ne’er-do-well recognizing his own shortcomings while sitting in a bar instead of being home with his wife and 1-month old child: “Dang me, dang me. They ought to take a rope and hang me.” Capital punishment may have been too great for the transgression, but it was clear that he saw the error in his ways. Still, he didn’t rush home. And then he found a way to put some of the blame upon his upbringing: “My Pappy was a pistol, I’m a son of a gun,” he sang. Although the errant subject of the tune did not learn his lesson, the record did earn a Grammy Award for best Country & West ern song. It seemed that the repentant, but not too much, tone resonated with audiences.Bytoday’s standards, the lyrics are quite tame. Notably absent are the ag gressive use of profanity and assertive, if not hardcore, references to victims. Somewhere along the line, our posture has changed. It is unlikely that Miller was unfamiliar with the vocabulary that would ultimately become commonplace in popular music. Still, he elected to use the more colloquial and less intended to offend.Much of the humanities has shifted into the profane in the last few decades. The internet is filled with vile and un productive uses of modern language. So-called news and creative writing aggregators push out article after ar ticle expressing a number of opinions wrapped in strong language. Mostly, we ignore them. Today’s retinue included “&$^#-less in Seattle” and “@#%^ Writ ing.” Studies show that expletive use can reduce stress for individuals. But for mass consumption, does it reduce anything other than IQ?
“There is no week nor day nor hour when tyranny may not enter upon this country, if the people lose their roughness and spirit of defiance.”

Last year, I’d been hyper aware as this date approached, spending the preceding days dwelling on that final summer and the hours leading up to his passing. This time? I hadn’t given Dad a single thought in over a week, and it was only in the context of being frustrated that he’d failed once again to use his heavenly presence to secure me lottery tickets to the Masters. Am I a terrible daughter? Sibling? Merely human?Myhusband believes my forgetting is a sign that I’m healing -- that I’ve moved through the grief to a place where Dad isn’t gone, but also isn’t ever-present. I hope he’s right. I kind of feel like a cry runPeacemyself.out.

I won’t feel so stupid anymore when I forget where I put my keys—not when so many people in the free world have apparently lost track of their Triscuits.
I just finished listening to a discussion on the radio about internet search engines. One of the guests wanted to determine the longitude and latitude of an emerging Afri can nation and had begun his hunt with the phrase, “Where is …” Before he started typing the name of the country, Google offered him likeNorris.

But how did the other three get to the top of the list? Who cares where Chuck Norris is? I don’t really understand the calculus behind search results, so I experimented a little to see if I could figure out how certain sites or references get primo ranking. Being slightly neurotic, I first plugged in, “I think I have …” Before I finished entering the mala dy I’m currently obsessing about, up popped some serious illnesses like monkeypox, AIDS, and COVID-19. No. 4 was, “worms.” I clicked on it out of curiosity, and it took me to some poor sap’s blog.
“I am 24 years old. I think I have parasites in my stomach because I keep hearing strange noises in my gut and a few days ago I actually found a 6-inch worm in my Fruit of the Looms.” These symptoms scared the you-know-what out of me. Here I am searching the internet when I should be scouring my own underwear.

Discounts that actually cost you money -- Retailers have latched onto a way to offer giant percentages off that are mesmerizing to shoppers but are not what they seem. The pitch: You get a gigantic discount, typically up to 70 percent off, but the fine print notes that you get that discount only on a second or third of multiple similar items. Signs in store windows and on store shelves (and online) shout out the percent age and shoppers often don’t do the math to see just how unimpressive these offers typically are. For example, based on an offer of “buy two, get the third 50 percent off,” you take three items to checkout, where you then receive a total discount of 17 per cent because you pay full price for the first two items.

The toughest part about playing her is her character arc. I won’t tell you how it ends, but the place she is at the end of the story is hard to get to with the amount of time changes we have in the show.”Formore, visit mudcreekplayers.org.

Other exhibits display some of his famous statements and speech es, including his famous articulation of the “four freedoms” in January 1941. If you are near Hyde Park, a visit to the Franklin D.

In November 1992, the Seattle grunge music scene was exploding in its popu larity. While the angsty grunge fans were rocking in their flannel shirts, Nir vana frontman Kurt Cobain was penning hits including “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” “Come As You Are” and “Lithium.”Ifthose songs don’t sound familiar, that’s OK. What’s notable is what hap penedWhilenext.fans were riding the grunge wave, a reporter at The New York Times wanted to inform readers about the growing subculture. A freelance reporter named Rick Marin phoned Megan Jasper, who, at the time, was a sales represen tative for Seattle record label Caroline Records.Jasper, who had recently been laid off from legendary grunge label Sub Pop Re cords as its receptionist, decided to have a little fun at the Times’ expense. Marin phoned to ask about any slang terms used in the grunge subculture. Jasper
was more than happy to rattle off some fake terms, which became known as “grunge speak.”

Today, as we continue our road trip to and from Cape Cod, we make the last stop in Hyde Park, N.Y., visiting the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presiden tial Library and Museum. Before Franklin D. Roosevelt, presidents considered documents and other materials created during their terms their personal property. Some sold or destroyed them, and others donated them to the Library of Con gress or other institutions. President Roos evelt wanted a better system for preserving what he considered public property. In 1939, Roosevelt convinced his mother, Sara, to do nate 16 acres of land from her Springwood Estate for a library for items created during his service as president and his prior public service, including as governor of New York. Roosevelt, an amateur architect, helped de sign the library building in the Dutch Colo nial style. This first presidential library, built with private funds, was dedicated on June 30, 1941, early in FDR’s unprecedented third term. Roosevelt often visited the library and made some of his famous fireside chats from a studio inside the building.

This wasn’t the first, or last, time fake news showed up in a well-respected newspaper. The fact that Marin swallowed Jasper’s made-up terms hook. line and sinker surprised even Jasper herself.
When Marin inquired about grunge terminology, Jasper enlightened him with these made-up phrases, which soon after appeared in the pages of the Times: “wack slacks” (old ripped jeans, “cob nobbler” (loser), “fuzz” (heavy wool sweaters), “bound-and-hagged” (staying home on Fri day or Saturday night) and even “swingin’ on the flippity-flop” (hanging out). These terms and 10 others appeared as grunge gospel in Marin’s Nov. 15 article, “Grunge: A Success Story.”
