   slcd.print("Zone:  ");
   slcd.setCursor(6, 2);    
   slcd.print(varZoneTouch);
   slcd.setCursor(7, 2);    
   slcd.print(" Selected");

Made this change:

slcd.setCursor(0, 2);
slcd.print(“Zone: “);
slcd.setCursor(6, 2);
slcd.print(varZoneTouch,DEC);
slcd.setCursor(7, 2);
slcd.print(” Selected”);
