Tipp BOE OKs tax levy for ballot

BY JOHN BADEN For the Troy Daily News editorial@tdnpublishing.com An emergency tax levy was unanimously approved for the August ballot during Monday’s Tipp City Board of Education meeting. The 7.95-mill emergency levy would last for the next five years if it passes on the ballot in August. If the levy does not clear with voters, Superintendent, Dr. John P. Kronour said that it will appear on the ballot again in November. According to Kronour, the levy will generate more than $3 million each school year. Taxpayers who own a $100,000 home will approximately pay $243 each year. With a shortfall of about $7 billion in its budget, Ohio has cut $1.3 million out of Tipp City School’s funding this school year. “We really didn’t have time to plan for that,” Kronour said. “It was just that the state budget needed to be balanced, and obviously, education took a good chunk of that loss from the state budget.” As a result, the school instituted several changes including a decrease in the size of its staff for this school year to absorb the loss of the funding. Kronour said the district eliminated eight full-time positions and hired eight other positions at lower salaries, and some teachers on staff were reassigned to positions held by now-retired staff. According to the 2012 cut list, those who retired are Virginia Watson, Gail Ahmed, Janet Bishop, Judy Crowe,

“

You couldn’t just go out to the store to buy more soap, you had to make it yourself. — Abby Gilfillen

”

Gilfillen said her favorite activity was making handmade soaps and using molds to create various shapes. “You couldn’t just go out to the store to buy more soap, you had to make it yourself,” Gilfillen said. Students learned how people had to make their own furniture and home accessories like the key holders by hand as an activity. “I really like the woodworking part,” said Izaak Frantom. “They had to make everything themselves, like their tools and chairs.” Frantom also shared that he enjoyed planting their garden and how it was used for not only food to enjoy, but as survival.

BUSINESS ROUNDUP

Chris Betz, Karen Jackson, Darlene McClurg, Marci Utt, Wade Mizer, Jackie Overbay, Carol Strunk, Nancy Hagen, Frank Goldsberry, Peg Wellbaum and Helga Thornton. Shannon Varvel resigned. At the meeting, the board approved the resignations of Andy Meyer, an intervention teacher, and Joseph Tully, the middle School evening custodian. High school secretary Denise March was grouped with Meyer and Tully for resignation, but she informed the board that she did not resign. According to March, she was leaving the school because of financial reasons after being offered a parttime job that was half the salary she made as secretary. Marilynn Rowe was later approved to become the high school secretary. Board members later approved the non-reemployment of Special Education Aides Amy Cornelison, Maria Hernandez-Avila, Melinda Seale, Dena Todd, and Marcy Trask for the 2012-2013 school year. They also cut Dale Pittenger and Megan Schaurer because of financial reasons.

The school has also started participation fees for extra-curricular activities, which has produced more than $100,000 in income. While these cuts have saved the school district money, the school hasn’t stopped there. The district also cut back on operation expenses. This includes reducing the amount of time the parking lights are on at the high school, switching phone services and eliminating a tech support contract, which amounts to more than $80,000 in savings. Additionally, with a year of continuing open enrollment, Kronour said the school has seen an increase in its registration without increasing the amount of its teachers. This has produced a net gain of more than $386,000. For the 2013 school year, the school officials plan to make more cuts to staff and reduce operating expenses, which will amount to $1.1 million, if the tax levy is not passed. • In other BOE news: Parents were concerned about how the AP Biology and AP Physics courses had been eliminated and asked the board to bring them back. Liz Robbins, a parent of three children, told the board that they were making an “egregious error.” “I think that these potential cuts were made without ample information, without ample research, and without ample input from the very people you hired to make these decisions,” Robbins said. Kronour then explained to the audience that the reason they had originally eliminated the courses was because the school’s numbers in science were down. Another parent, Teresa Rohr, said that while she understood that cuts have to be made, science is still very important. “We can’t afford a science-illiterate society,” Rohr said. This discussion concluded with Vice President Frank Maus grasping what was being said by parent after parent. “I think what we’ve learned from the community here today is AP courses are important.”

FYI

Relay approaching For the Troy Daily News The 2012 Miami Relay for Life committee is putting the finishing touches on the event, set this year for May 5-6 at the Miami County Fairgrounds. “I am getting so excited,” said Maggie Mundhenk, survivor chairman. “This is like having brunch with 300 friends. We all have something in common — we are all survivors.” More than 150 survivors have registered for this year’s event. Instead of a dinner reception, this year the survivors will be treated to a brunch on Saturday at 11 a.m. “With the new start time and the change in days, we will have more time for the survivors to enjoy a nice meal and some good conversation,” Mundhenk said. “All cancer survivors are welcome, but they may bring just one caregiver to brunch with them.” This is a change from past years and more in line with the other relays in the area, Mundhenk said. Survivors will be asked to register as they enter the relay. They MIAMI COUNTY and their caregiver will be given a wristband that will give them admittance to the brunch. Relay attendees are asked to remember that with the exception of well identified service animals, no pets will be allowed. During opening ceremonies, one survivor will win a very special gift. Harris Jewelers of Troy has donated a pendant they designed, called Heart of Hope. “The ribbon shows that we are ever vigilant in our search for a cure,” said Bonnie Harris Frey.“The two faces help us remember that we are never alone. Our family, our loved ones and the ones who have gone before will always be with us. Their support keeps us strong.” The Heart of Hope is on display at Harris Jewelers and available by special order for those who would like to purchase the necklace. After the opening ceremonies, the Relay will kick off with the survivor lap. This is an inspirational time when survivors circle the track together and help everyone celebrate the victories they have achieved over cancer. With their caregivers, survivors will tie a ribbon on the Torch of Hope, which will be located in the center of the relay area. There are more than 11 million cancer survivors in the United States. The American Cancer Society has four goals that it wants/needs to reach by 2015. These are:

Harris Jewelers of Troy has donated one Heart of Hope necklace, which will be won by one survivor during the 2012 Miami County Relay for Life survivor ceremony. The necklace also is available for purchase by contacting Harris Jewelers. • A 50 percent reduction in the age-adjusted cancer mortality rate • A 25 percent reduction in the age-adjusted cancer incidence rate • A measurable improvement in the quality of life from the time of diagnosis • A balance of life for all cancer survivors If the 2015 goals are achieved, it is estimated there may be 5.7 million fewer cancer cases and 4.9 million cancer deaths. Miami County Relay for Life teams will be conducting various fundraisers and games open to relay participants following the survivor lap. Other major events at relay include an afternoon auction, the lighting of more than 1,200 luminaries and the luminaria ceremony, which is set for 9:30 p.m. Saturday. Following the luminaria ceremony, a live concert will feature the group This Side Up. Games and team activities continue through the night. Closing ceremonies begin at 6 a.m. Saturday and the relay closes about 9 a.m. “This year’s theme is “Rockin’ n Rollin’ for a Cure, and the decorations will show it. The entire Relay will be rocking’ thru the night,” Mundhenk said. “I am looking forward to meeting and talking with all.” Cancer survivors are requested to register for the brunch by sending a message to mundhenk@sbcglobal.net. Information about the relay can be found at www.RelayforLife.org/miamicounty or leave a message at (937) 524-2214.

The Troy Daily News and Piqua Daily Call mistakingly omitted the profile for Abbey Credit Union in the 2012 Business Expo Tab

Abbey Credit Union Celebrating 75 Years! Abbey Credit Union was founded 75 years ago at the cusp of the Great Depression by a group of Inland employees who felt that everyone should have access to vital financial services. Today, it is a directive that Abbey Credit Union still takes to heart in everything they do! When you treat people right, the word gets around and that is why Abbey Credit Union is around today. Unlike banks, credit unions are member-owned, as a member-owned, not-for- profit financial institution Abbey’s earnings are returned to their members in the form of low cost loans, high yield dividends and free or low cost services. When profit is removed as a motivating factor, attention is shifted to the best interest of the credit union’s members. Rather than focusing on making Abbey more profitable, Abbey Credit Union focuses on operating as efficiently as possible for the financial benefit of

their members. All memberowners have a stake in the credit union’s success. Abbey’s continued growth can be attributed to unity and trust, and they vow to continue to earn this trust by striving to be the best of the best! You can become a member of Abbey Credit Union if you live, work, worship, or attend school in Vandalia, Butler Township or Miami County. Stop in to one of Abbey’s service locations in Vandalia or Troy and talk to one of Abbey’s friendly service representatives. In celebration of their 75th Anniversary, Abbey plans to offer a variety of specials throughout the year. Launching their first 75th anniversary special, Abbey Credit Union is now offering an unsecured 7.5% loan. This would be an excellent loan to pay off a high interest rate credit card or a way to providefunds to start a small business; it could just be the best deal around!

Be sure to visit them at the Expo. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

PERSPECTIVE

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” — First Amendment, U.S. Constitution

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Denver Post on the proposed “Buffett rule”: The “Buffett rule” is dead for the moment, having failed to muster enough votes in the Senate. If we’re lucky, it will stay dead, too. Don’t get us wrong. We agree the rich should pay higher taxes than the average working stiff. For the most part, in fact, they do. Even so, raising taxes on the rich will no doubt have to be part of any overall answer to America’s colossal federal deficit. But the Buffett rule — which would mandate that anyone making more than $1 million a year pay a tax rate of at least 30 percent — is fiscal reform stuffed with empty calories. It may taste good to Americans with a populist bent, but it contains little nutrition, and could induce unhealthy side effects, too. For tax reform to be meaningful in terms of deficit relief, lots of Americans — not just the very wealthy — will have to pay somewhat more. The math is inescapable, no matter what As I most politicians usually imply.

One example is the inability of both political parties to reach a compromise on the budget. But there are a few members who bravely supported true compromise recently. Rep. Jim Cooper, D-Tenn., and Rep. Steven LaTourette, R-Ohio, presented a budget alternative that followed the principles of the Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson commission, titled the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform. It would cut the deficit by $4 trillion over the next decade. About 100 colleagues in the House signed a letter of support, but by the time the vote was taken, there were only 38 in favor: 382-38. There are legitimate debates that ought to be held. These are tough decisions. But at the end of the day, we need to do something. Said LaTourette on the House floor: “The mood in the country is: Throw the bums out. Throw them all out and replace them with new people. Americans are screaming for us to take off our red jerseys on this side, to take off the blue jerseys on that side, and put on the red, white and blue jerseys of the United States of America.” If something like the Cooper-LaTourette budget is not passed soon, America is likely to face a financial panic. We will look back at this resounding defeat as a great opportunity that was lost.

DOONESBURY

Two down, I’m the last one to go on wedding circuit The second one is down. The rings are exchanged, the cupcakes are gone, and the newly married couple is off in Mexico. Tabitha and Daniel exchanged vows on Friday and they had the most beautiful day. They were married at Pine Island Country Club in North Carolina. The weather was perfect, the bride was extraordinarily beautiful and the ceremony was flawless. My sister was stunningly gorgeous as a bride. Even though I tried my hardest to hold back the tears as she zipped up her gown and adorned herself with all the extras a bride has, I couldn’t. As her dress received the final touches, the vail was put on and her smile continued to grow bigger, I couldn’t help but realize how amazingly happy she was. She sat in the room we got ready in, spinned her thumbs and repeatedly said “Let’s get this party started,” as she anxiously awaited her moment to walk down the aisle to her husband. As the moment grew closer, her smile continued to as well and we all were told to get into our places to start the ceremony. I gave her a hug and told her how beautiful she was, gave her a kiss and kicked off the ceremony.

Katie Yantis Troy Daily News Columnist The officiating pastor spoke on the important key points of marriage and discussed points that Daniel and Tabitha needed to focus on to have a successful marriage. One of the key points was that each individual needed to focus on being selfless instead of selfish. To many people this topic comes as a given, but even though people know that it is important, we forget to practice it. He spoke on the fact that so many issues arise out of one or the other of a married couple because of one of the parties being too selfish. I think that is one of the most important aspects of marriage. I know, I know, I’m not married so I can’t talk, but from an outside perspective, I feel he is right. I feel many arguments center around someone needing too much and not

being willing to compromise. Compromise is so important in every relationship, not just marriage. After the ceremony we hit the reception. It was incredibly fun and we danced into the late hours of the night. We had a delicious meal, drinks and cupcakes instead of cake. Both of my sisters throughly enjoyed doing things a little bit differently than most traditional wedding procedures. Tabbie and Daniel had their first dance and proceeded to let the guests eat as the bridal party got pictures taken, instead of having the guests wait until pictures were over. She did cupcakes instead of cake and there was no bouquet toss or garter toss. One traditional aspect of their reception made me throughly happy and smile from ear to ear however. Daniel and Tabbie still cut a small cake that was made for them. I assumed that they would be nice and do the cute little pieces of cake that are gently placed into each other’s mouths. Well, I was wrong and I loved that I was. My new brother-in-law, creamed my sister, so she creamed him back. They both had icing all over their faces as they posed for pic-

tures for everyone watching. It was great. As the night closed out my new brother-in-law, appropriately so, embarrassed my sister, by exiting with her at the end of a night for an excursion around the property in a golf cart. They laughed, we all laughed, but in the end, she still had a smile on her face and as they got in their car to drive away, she has never looked happier. Now, both my sisters are married off and I have two new brothers. (I don’t really like to call them “in-laws,” I just refer to them as my brothers). I thank God for them every day because of how happy they make my sisters and now the same feeling I had in June last year, I had this past week with Tabitha. As all of her dreams came true last week, my heart just continued to smile. As their journey begins and continues I pray for so many blessings for them. I pray an abundance of joy and happiness and most of all I pray that their love just continues to grow. Congratulations Tabbie and Daniel! Remember that day, remember the joy and hold it close as you continue your journey!

Tipp named Tree City USA community For the Troy Daily News On April 20, the Arbor Day Foundation recognized 37 southwest Ohio cities, villages and townships as Tree City USA communities. Among them was Tipp City which received the award for the 28th consecutive year. Created in 1976, the Tree City USA award originates from the Arbor Day Foundation, an organization dedicated to tree planting, conservation and the promotion of community forestry. Amberley Village hosted the 2012 Tree City USA Awards Program at the Mayerson JCC in Amberley, Ohio. The title of “Tree City USA” was bestowed upon each com-

TIPP CITY munity for its ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the quality of life through a concentrated street tree management program. “Half of Ohioans live and work in a Tree City USA and enjoy a variety of benefits that come with having more trees, such as cleaner air and water, reduced stormwater runoff and increased property values,” said Bob Boyles, state forester and chief of the ODNR Division of Forestry. “The Tree City USA program also helps communities deal with urban forestry challenges, such as the emerald ash borer.”

TROY pleas court, but that case was dismissed earlier this month and the charges were sent back over to municipal court. Court documents show Wilson was arraigned in municipal court April 17, entered two pleas of no contest, was found guilty of the failure to confine charges and was sentenced immediately afterward. On Sept. 11 two pit bulls belonging to Wilson and another woman escaped and later viciously mauled Getzendiner, 59, as she pedaled her

The Piqua man charged in the vicious pit bull attack of Sandra Getzendiner on the North Main Street Bridge in September will serve no prison or jail time and his only punishment will be two $100 fines. Brian M. Wilson, 31, also will be required to pay court costs of $101. Wilson, who had been indicted by a grand jury on two counts of failure to confine an animal, was scheduled to go to trial Tuesday in common

way across the North Main Street Bridge. Following the attack, Getzendiner was airlifted by CareFlight to Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton where she she was hospitalized for 11 days. For several days, she was in critical condition in the intensive care unit. Meanwhile, the case against Mackenzie Vangel, 30, of Piqua, remains pending in municipal court and a May 1 trial is scheduled. Vangel has been charged with two misdemeanor counts of failure to insure a dog. The two dogs have since been put down.

Romney adds 5 primary wins Promises a ‘better America’ WASHINGTON (AP) — Mitt Romney laid claim to the fiercely contested Republican presidential nomination Tuesday night with a fistful of primary triumphs, then urged all who struggle in a shaky U.S. economy to “hold on a little longer, a better America begins tonight.” Eager to turn the political page to the general election, Romney accused President Barack Obama of “false promises and weak leadership.” He declared, “Everywhere I go, Americans are tired of being tired, and many of those who are fortunate enough to have a job are working harder for less.” The former Massachusetts gov-

ernor spoke as he swept primaries in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware, Pennsylvania and New York, the first since Rick Santorum conceded the nomination. “Mitt Romney is going to be the nominee, and I’m going to support the nominee,” the former Pennsylvania senator said on CNN. He added he intended to meet on Wednesday with the winner’s aides. Romney, speaking to cheering supporters, in New Hampshire, said, “The last few years have been the best Barack Obama can do, but it’s not the best America can do.” He delivered his remarks to a national television audience as well from the state where he won his

first primary of the campaign and one of about a dozen states expected to be battlegrounds in the summer and fall campaign for the White House. Obama campaigned during the day in two others North Carolina and Colorado making the case that, however slowly, the economy is growing stronger. “Our businesses have added more than 4 million jobs over the ROMNEY past two years, but we all know there’s still too many Americans out there looking for work or trying to find a job that pays enough to cover the bills and make the mortgage,” the president said.

“We still have too many folks in the middle class that are searching for that security that started slipping away years before the recession hit.” Six months before the election, opinion polls show the economy to be the top issue by far in the race. The same surveys point toward a close contest, with several suggesting a modest advantage for the incumbent. Obama won the presidency in 2008 in the midst of the worst recession since the Great Depression, and since then economic growth has rebounded slowly and joblessness has receded gradually, although housing prices continue to drop in many

areas of the country. In an indication that Romney was treating the moment Tuesday night as something of an opening of the general election campaign, his speech seemed aimed at the millions of voters non-conservatives and others who have yet to pay close attention to the race for the White House. He blended biographical details, an attack on Obama and the promise of a better future, leaving behind his struggle to reassure conservative voters who have been reluctant to swing behind his candidacy. “As I look around at the millions of Americans without work, the graduates who can’t get a job, the soldiers who return home to an unemployment line, it breaks my heart,” he said.

Three more Secret Service members ousted in scandal

“

A couple of knuckleheads shouldn’t detract from what they do. — Barack Obama

”

after a fight over payment between a Colombian prostitute and a Secret Service employee spilled into the hallway of the Hotel Caribe. A dozen military personnel have also been implicated and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said this week they have had their security clearances suspended. Obama acknowledged Tuesday that the scandal

was “a little distracting” and pressed for perspective. “These guys are incredible. They protect me. They protect Michelle. They protect the girls. They protect our officials all around the world,” the president said on NBC’s “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.” “A couple of knuckleheads shouldn’t detract from what they do,” Obama added. “What these guys were thinking, I don’t know. That’s why they’re not there anymore.” Even as Obama spoke, officials on Capitol Hill were probing for any misconduct in the agency in the past decade and girding for the first public accounting of the incident that embarrassed the Obama administration.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Three more Secret Service employees have been forced out of the government, bringing to nine the number of people who have lost their jobs in the prostitution scandal roiling the agency. President Barack Obama said the employees at the center of the sordid episode were “knuckleheads,” but not representative of the agency that protects his family in the glare of public life. Two employees have resigned and a third is having his national security clearance revoked, the Secret Service said Tuesday. The employee whose clearance is being revoked can appeal the decision. Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said one of the resigning agents stayed at the Hilton hotel in Cartagena, Colombia, where Obama stayed for the Summit of Americas. The others stayed at the nearby Hotel Caribe. Two others have been cleared of serious misconduct. Last week, six employees, including two supervisors, were forced out and another was cleared of serious wrongdoing. The three who were cleared will still face “appropriate administrative action”, the Secret Service said. The scandal erupted

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Ultimately, it’s your sister’s decision Dear Annie: My sister owns seven cats, three dogs, two turtles and a lizard. They are overrunning her house. There are random bits of garbage all over the floor, along with used dishes — both human and pet. When the dogs do their business in the house, she lets it stay there for hours while she gets other work done. The last time I was there, I wiped some food off of the wall, and she said I was being rude. Two months ago, one of her dogs died. A week later, she bought a new one for $750. I happen to know she now has less than $100 in her bank account. And I worry she might lose her job. Her co-workers have complained that her clothing is sloppy and covered in dog hair. I've told her many times that she has too many pets. She replies that it's not my business and storms off. I suggested she give me one of her dogs or cats, and she told me she would simply buy more. I believe her. How can I make her see the light? — Concerned Sister Dear Concerned: To some extent, your sister is right: This isn't your business. A messy home and dog-haired clothing may not be your preference, but they aren't necessarily a health risk. She is depleting her bank balance in order to purchase animals, but then, some people do that with shoes. There can be a fine line between eccentric behavior that is within acceptable boundaries and behavior that indicates mental illness. We don't think your sister has crossed that line, but she bears watching. So stop criticizing her choices, but keep an eye on whether her appearance and the condition of her house substantially deteriorate, whether she goes into debt and whether the animals are well treated. And let her know you will be a sympathetic shoulder if she ever needs help managing. Dear Annie: Our neighbor, "Harvey," is a homosexual and frequently has various men stay at his house overnight — sometimes more than one at a time. Here's the problem: We have an 11-year-old son, and though Harvey is nice to him and a good neighbor to us, should we keep our son from any association with Harvey? My husband doesn't seem to think there's any problem, but one can never be too safe when it comes to protecting your children. — Sleepless in Seattle Dear Seattle: Harvey should be treated no differently than any adult neighbor who has frequent overnight guests, male or female, presumably for intimate purposes. You wouldn't want his casual promiscuity (if that's what it is) to be something your son emulates in his own life, but we assume you would discuss such things with your child as a normal part of transmitting your values and morals. It has nothing to do with Harvey's sexual orientation, nor does it make him a greater risk to your son's welfare. And if your real worry is whether association with Harvey will make your son gay, the answer is no. Dear Annie: This is for "Not a Mommy," the woman who doesn't care to hold someone's infant. I, too, am not fond of babies (except for my grandchildren), but I have found myself in the same awkward situation when an employee brings her baby to visit the office. Two tips that work for me: Never go alone into the room where the baby is on display. And don't put yourself in the front tier. Touch the baby so the parent doesn't think you are a complete ogre, but when asked, "Don't you want to hold him?" reply, "Oh, let Soand-So. I can see that she's dying to." Then quietly make your exit. — Chris from Maine Dear Chris: Good advice for the baby-averse. Thanks. Dear Readers: Today is Administrative Professionals Day. If you have assistants who make your job easier, let them know how much they are appreciated. Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE

How ‘free’ are those free rangs eggs? Dear Readers: Certain eggs are labeled “free range” or “cage free” — what does this really mean? According to our friends at the American Egg Board, free-range eggs come from hens that are either raised entirely outside or are allowed outside when the weather is good. These hens ideally would have access to plants and insects, but the time spent outside can vary, depending on the producer. Cage-free eggs come from hens that are kept inside, roaming around the floor of a large room or open area of a barn, and are not typically let outside at any time. Both free-range and cage-free eggs are considered to be specialty eggs, so expect to pay a higher pur-

Hints from Heloise Columnist chase price. — Heloise SURPRISE MEATLOAF Dear Heloise: My wife, Kim, worked as a nanny for more than 20 years. One of the families she worked for would make an unusual meatloaf. They’d take out a pound of hamburger and put it in a mixing bowl. Then they’d open up the fridge and

start grabbing leftovers like rice, barley, veggies, an egg or two, and anything else that they could find, dumped it all in and mixed well. All this was then cooked up as meatloaf. The first time Kim made meatloaf this way, I thought she had totally lost it. I had to eat some humble pie, because the meatloaf turned out really good. — Kevin from North Carolina Kevin, you never know when crazy-sounding ingredients will work together and taste just fine! — Heloise BASIC BUTTERMILK Dear Heloise: I love your column and read it daily in the (Warren, Ohio) Tribune Chronicle. I have a

hint to share. When I need buttermilk for a recipe, instead of buying a whole quart, I mix half sour cream and half milk. No leftover buttermilk to store. We always seem to use up the sour cream. This has not failed me yet, even in cake recipes. — Linda C., Howland, Ohio CITRUS BAGS Dear Heloise: With wonderful citrus in season now, I am buying it in plastic-net bags. When empty, I cut off the labeling and am left with a tube of plastic net. I turn each end inside the tube and twist a twisty around the middle. It looks like a puffy bow. It makes a wonderful scrubbie! — Carolyn in Kerrville, Texas

ARLO AND JANIS

HOROSCOPE Wednesday, April 25, 2012 You could be extremely fortunate in the year ahead when teaming up with two people who have successful track records. Coupled with your talent and fresh outlook, it will make for a dynamic trio. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Even if the price is a bit more than you wanted to spend, now’s the time to acquire that special item for which you’ve long been searching. It isn’t likely you’ll find anything close to it again. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — The types of activities that you’re likely to find enjoyable are those you can share with good friends and/or family. It doesn’t matter if it’s a game of cards or something physically exerting — it’ll be to the good. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Being both methodical and purposeful will serve you well, making you far more adept at handling your career or domestic responsibilities. Spend your time accomplishing a difficult task and you’ll come out ahead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — It’s to your advantage to spend some time with friends who are more ambitious than frivolous. Even when they are at play, they’ll be looking for good opportunities. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — One of your most valuable assets is the ability to turn meager beginnings into substantial products. You can easily take the crumbs that others leave behind and turn them into full, crusty loaves. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — The reason you’re able to make an arduous task look so simple is your store of valuable past experience from which to draw. The more you learn, the easier life gets. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Don’t deliberately put yourself in a position of having to take on a job you’ve never done before, but by the same token don’t panic if you are forced into such a thing. Seek out an expert who can offer guidance. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Your ability for figuring out the basic motivation of certain friends could be remarkably accurate and will serve you well. Keep what you learn to yourself, however. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Because of your impressive input, trends and conditions tend to favor you. Continue to devote significant effort toward the achievement of worthy objectives. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Conduct yourself with tolerance and consideration for the frailties of others, especially if you’re in an authoritative position. Be both helpful and effective. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — You could benefit in some manner from a source that you normally think of as being merely a backup. It will prove to be not only a substitute, but also a saving grace. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Your friends and associates will know that you say what you mean and that you can be counted upon to come through for them, even if it ends up inconveniencing you in some manner.

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable. If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

TROTWOOD — All it took was one inning. Well, maybe two. But the Troy Trojans (7-13, 53 Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division) kept the heat on for all five innings Tuesday, jumping out to a 15-0 lead after two and winning 20-1 at Trotwood in division play. Troy scored eight in the first then seven in the second and was never challenged, sweeping the two-day series. “We got out in front early and never looked back,” Troy coach

Scott Herman said. “We put everything together again today — good hitting, good pitching and good defense.” Shelby Schultz swung the big stick, going 2 for 3 with three RBIs, a double and a mammoth home run over the fence in center. Amber Smith got the win on the mound and was 2 for 3 with two RBIs. Shai Emerick had a big day, going 2 for 2 with a double, an RBI and four runs

Latos gets 1st win with Cincinnati CINCINNATI (AP) — Mat Latos finally got his first win for Cincinnati, pitching seven shutout innings against an old NL West nemesis, and Brandon Phillips homered and drove in three runs Tuesday night, leading the Reds to a 9-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants. Latos (1-2) came to the Reds in a four-player deal with San Diego and acknowledged trying too hard to impress his new team. He was back on his game against the Giants, allowing only four singles. Phillips hit a two-run homer in the first inning off Matt Cain (1-1) after being called out on a foul tip. The umpires decided the tipped ball hit the dirt, giving him another swing. The Giants have lost six straight and 11 of 15 at Great American Ball Park. Pablo Sandoval singled in his final at-bat, leaving him with a hit in each of the Giants’ 17 games. It’s the second-longest hitting streak to open a season in franchise history, one behind Johnny Rucker of the 1945 New York Giants. Buster Posey hit a two-run homer in the ninth after Cincinnati’s Sam LeCure threw a pitch inside, drawing a warning to both benches. Cincinnati’s

SPRINGFIELD — Four to go. The Tippecanoe Red Devils put themselves in prime position to win the Central Buckeye Conference outright after Tuesday’s win, a convincing 4-1 victory over second-place Kenton Ridge to complete the season sweep of the rival Cougars. With the win, Tippecanoe improved to 15-0 on the season — and 12-0 in the CBC. Kenton

Ridge, the closest competition, falls to 10-2 and now needs tons of help from teams Tippecanoe has already knocked off once to even tie for the lead.

At third singles, Jacob Belcher defeated Brandon Taylor

6-0, 6-2. At second doubles, Adam Southers and Tyler Heinl defeated Hunter Clark and Nick Redavide 7-5, 6-2.

cash-for-big hits system the Saints ran from 2009-11, and Loomis will be out for eight games. The bounty probe is unrelated to the investigation a joint Louisiana state police and FBI task force opened after being made aware of

anonymous allegations from an ESPN report that Loomis was able eavesdrop on opposing coaches’ radio communications from 2002 to 2004. State police Col. Mike Edmonson confirmed the joint effort Tuesday after discussing the matter with Dave Welker, special agent in charge at the FBI’s New Orleans field office. “I thought that was an excellent opportunity to

share resources to see if federal or state wiretapping laws were in fact broken,” Edmonson said by phone from Baton Rouge. “It’s important for the public to know these are allegations at this point. We will thoroughly, expeditiously, but fairly look into whether any laws have been broken. If they have, we’ll sit down with the district attorney in that area to determine how to proceed.”

New Jersey Devils’Travis Zajac (19) scores the gamewinning goal on Florida Panthers goalie Scott Clemmensen (30) as Dmitry Kulikov (7) and Kris Versteeg (32) defend during the overtime of Game 6 of a first-round playoff series Tuesday in Newark, N.J. The Devils won 3-2, forcing Game 7.

Devils force Game 7 with OT victory NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Travis Zajac scored at 5:39 of overtime and the New Jersey Devils avoided elimination and sent yet another Eastern Conference first-round series to a seventh game with a 3-2 victory over the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night. Steve Bernier and Ilya Kovalchuk also scored and Martin Brodeur made 14 saves for New Jersey, which squandered a twogoal lead and had fans dreading another firstround playoff exit until Zajac scored from the right hand circle. The shot beat Scott Clemmensen to the lower corner and set off a mob scene on the ice. Clemmensen was outstanding, stopping 39 shots in an emergency start for the injured Jose Theodore. Kris Versteeg and Sean Bergenheim tallied for Florida, which was looking for its first series win since 1996. Two other series in the conference are also headed to Game 7s. Washington will be at second-seeded Boston on Wednesday and Ottawa will be at the topseeded Rangers on Thursday. The Panthers had a chance in a scramble in front of Brodeur just before

Zajac’s goal. However, Zajac pulled the puck away from the crease and led a rush up ice. Zach Parise took his cross-ice pass and gave the puck to Kovalchuk, who found Zajac skating down the right wing for a shot along the ice into the net. The Devils outshot Florida 42-16 in a game played before a sellout crowd. Despite being outshot 29-10 in the opening 40 minutes, the Panthers rallied from a 2-0 deficit and entered the third period tied at 2-all. Versteeg cut the deficit to 2-1 at 7:05 of the period. Stephen Weiss centered the puck from along the left sideboards and Versteeg’s shot hit off the skate of Devils forward Alexei Ponikarovsky and into the open side of the net. Brodeur never had a chance. The tying goal came at 12:49 after the referees ignored a slash by Bergenheim that knocked Kovalchuk to the ice. It led to a 4-on-2 rush. Brodeur made the initial stop on a shot from the between the circles by Tyson Strachan, but Bergenheim came late and tucked the rebound into an open net with teammate Marcel Goc hanging on the crossbar.

Marina Snipes was 2 for 4 with a homer, Kasey Thompson went 1 for 2 with an RBI and Fawn King added an RBI. “It was one of those games where we played good defense and had descent pitching,” Newton coach Kirk Kadel said. “I don’t think we were as mentally ready or sharp as we could have been, but a win is a win.” Newton travels to Ansonia for a big league game on Thursday.

The Vikings (13-5, 6-1 CCC) have another high-stakes conference game on Thursday, traveling to take on Bradford — which knocked off Covington on Tuesday. “Arcanum just came off beating Covington in a close game. They are having a good year,” Miami East coach Brian Kadel. “Paige struck out the side in the first inning. We came up in the bottom of the inning, hit three doubles. That got us going. We got off to that hot start and just kept it going.”

And Haley Patty, who struck out five and walked two, shut the Buccs out after the second inning for the win. “This is great morale booster,” Bradford coach Eric McReynolds said. “To come from behind like we did in a crucial league game is big. Like I told the girls on the bus ride home, I’m very proud of them. They represented the school well.” Covington coach Dean Denlinger tipped his hat to Bradford as well. “Give them credit,” he said. “They came back from three down and won on our field.

Reds ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 Joey Votto was hit in the seventh. Cain was in one of the best stretches of his career when he loosened up on a cool, breezy evening in Cincinnati. The right-hander had thrown 18 shutout innings in his last two starts, two innings shy of his career best. In those two starts, only four runners reached base. Drew Stubbs doubled in the first inning. Phillips worked the count to 2-2,

Indians knock off Royals then tipped a pitch that Posey caught by the dirt. Plate umpire Vic Carapazza called Phillips out, but first base umpire Gerry Davis indicated that the foul tip hit the ground before reaching the catcher’s mitt. Given the reprieve, Phillips homered to center on the next pitch. Instead of having a quick, scoreless inning, Cain wound up throwing 38 pitches in the first. He got into a rhythm after that inning. Ryan Ludwick hit a

solo homer off him in the seventh, when the Reds batted around for six runs. Jay Bruce and Scott Rolen each had two-run doubles in the seventh. Latos’ win was his latest notable moment against the Giants. After San Francisco eliminated San Diego from contention in 2010, he signed three baseballs with “I Hate SF!” in the offseason as part of a fundraiser for major league players’ alumni association, insisting it was in good humor.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Derek Lowe allowed one run over six innings and the Cleveland Indians handed the Kansas City Royals their 12th straight loss, 4-3 on Tuesday night. The Royals have been outscored 73-44 during the streak, which ties for thirdlongest in team history. They also lost 12 in a row in 1997 and 2008. Kansas City lost 13 straight in 2006 and had a team-record 19 consecutive losses in 2005. Cleveland built upon a

recently completed 7-2 trip by returning to Progressive Field and earning their second home win in six games. Lowe (3-1) gave up eight hits and struck out five. Chris Perez got his seventh save, allowing a ninthinning run. Jack Hannahan had a two-run double in Cleveland’s three-run fifth against Jonathan Sanchez (1-1). Beforehand, the Royals continued to try anything to get out of their funk. On

Monday, they vented frustrations in a closed-door pregame meeting in which voices were raised in anger. Before opening a threegame series in Cleveland, players gathered around a clubhouse television to play a baseball video game. That didn’t help, either. Sanchez hit Indians leadoff batter Jason Kipnis in the hand with his fifth pitch. Kipnis eventually scored on a sacrifice fly by Carlos Santana to put Cleveland ahead 1-0.

College football’s new path to crowning a national champion should become a lot clearer in south Florida on Wednesday and Thursday. The conference commissioners in charge of the Bowl Championship Series will meet for the fourth time this year, trying to sort out the future of the BCS. They are focusing on four options, though within in each plan there are myriad details to be worked. A final decision isn’t expected to come from these meetings, but a playoff is the best bet.

meet right after World Peace’s suspension ends in the second round. He will lose nearly $348,000 in salary if he serves the entire suspension this year. If the Lakers exit the playoffs swiftly, the remainder of the suspension must be served next season. World Peace still hasn’t answered media questions about his actions, but he issued a brief statement on his website, promising to follow up with a podcast. “I apologize to the Oklahoma City Thunder fans and the OKC organization,” World Peace wrote on ronartest.com. “I look foward (sic) to getting back on the floor with my teammates and competing for the Lakers fans.” Commissioner David Stern alluded to Artest’s lengthy history of on-court altercations and strange behavior in announcing the penalty in a statement. Although Harden appears to be recovering well, he hasn’t been cleared to return to the Thunder. “The concussion suffered by James Harden demonstrates the danger posed by violent acts of this kind, particularly when they are directed at the head area,” Stern said in a statement. “We remain committed to taking necessary measures to protect the safety of NBA players, including the imposition of appropriate penalties for players with a history of on-court altercations.”

Chaney’s Body Shop & Collision

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — The NBA responded to Metta World Peace’s latest act of aggression with a seven-game suspension that will lighten the Los Angeles Lakers troublemaker’s wallet and playoff schedule. World Peace was suspended Tuesday for throwing a vicious elbow at Oklahoma City’s James Harden, keeping the Lakers’ starting small forward sidelined for most of the first postseason round. World Peace was ejected from Sunday’s game against the Thunder for striking Harden in the head with the back of his elbow, giving Oklahoma City’s top reserve a concussion. The former Ron Artest claimed the blow was an accidental, overzealous celebration of a dunk, yet even Kobe Bryant and his Lakers teammates weren’t defending his inexplicable actions. “It’s hard to get into a guy’s head and know exactly what happened in that situation,” Bryant said. “I haven’t really spoken to him about it. You’ve really got to ask him.” World Peace will miss the Lakers’ season finale on Thursday at Sacramento and the Lakers’ next six games.
