schoolchildren at Newtown, Conn., President Barack Obama tasked Biden with heading a commission to come up with recommendations on gun policy by the end of this month. Obama supports steps including reinstating a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines and closing loopholes that allow many gun buyers to avoid background checks.

The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence says that some 40 percent of gun sales are made without background checks, such as

Former fire chief faces charges for theft and tampering

Construction projects discussed

BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com

At its first meeting of the new year, city council discussed one of the biggest construction projects of 2013: the replacement of downtown utilities and the reconstruction of Main Street. Council voted last month to expand the downtown utilities replacement program to include a streetscape project.

In addition to new water and sewer lines the project will now include new curbs, gutters, and sidewalks; new trees, trash cans, and benches; as well as new streetlights and traffic signals. See Page 5.

Miami East High School student to star in Gershwin musical

BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com

CASSTOWN

All the world’s a stage, but Austin Garrison is not merely a player.

The Miami East High School junior will star as Everett Baker in the Muse Machine performance of “Crazy for You” at the Victoria Theatre. The production runs through tonight until Sunday.

Garrison said he’s been practicing for the part of Everett since October and is thrilled at the opportunity to take the Victoria Theatre stage for the first time. The performance will feature the music of George Gershwin.

“Dayton is an awesome theater city,” Garrison said Wednesday.

“There’s lots of opportunity especially for young people.”

Garrison got bit by the acting bug at a young age when he was cast as an understudy for the role of Jo Jo in the high school’s musical “Seussical” when he was only in the third grade.

Later when he was merely a sixth grade student, Garrison was cast in a major role in the high school’s production of “Beauty and the Beast” as Lefou.

“That’s when it just clicked and I knew that’s what I wanted to do — I loved the attention,” he said. “After that, my family got involved in theater.”

Garrison said he enjoyed attended Broadway productions of “Lion King” and instantly knew he wanted to pursue a career in acting.

“After I saw the ‘Lion King’ I

thought ‘That’s exactly what I want to be doing,’” he said. “It’s just amazing.”

Garrison said former English teacher and high school musical director David Brush then encouraged Garrison to pursue his passion for acting through the Dayton Playhouse and other small theater venues.

“I know it sounds cheesy, but the rush I feel when I get on stage is amazing,” Garrison exclaimed. “I get to be someone else for two and a half hours.”

Garrison said when he received word he was cast as Everett last fall “it was the coolest feeling in the world.”

“I called everybody I knew,” he said.

Garrison said it has been a challenge juggling class work and his rehearsals for the upcoming production but has enjoyed every minute of it.

Former Fletcher Volunteer Fire Department Fire Chief Dan Pierce has been charged with theft and tampering with records following an internal investigation by department officials and an investigation led by the Miami County Sheriff ’s Office.

Miami County Sheriff’s Office records state charges against Pierce were filed on Jan. 7 by first assistant prosecuting attorney Tony Kendell. The charges of theft and tampering with records against Pierce relate to his conduct involving a NAPA billing statement, an oven purchased for the department’s home on the property where Pierce lived and misuse of department fuel at the fire house. A summons was requested in lieu of an arrest warrant.

According to the Ken DeWeese, acting fire chief, the department received Pierce’s letter of resignation on Jan. 2.

DeWeese said information was brought to Fletcher Fire Department officials “concerning the actions of Dan on the department.”

“Based on the information, it prompted our own internal investigation,” DeWeese said Wednesday.

“With the results of our investigation, we decided to turn it over to the Miami County Sheriff’s Office.”

at gun shows and over the Internet.

The tragedy in Newtown, in which 20 young children and six adults were gunned down by a man with a military-style semiautomatic rifle, has prodded the administration to act. Obama had remained largely silent on gun control after the 2011 shootings in Tucson, Ariz., that killed six people and wounded 12 others including then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, and the Colorado movie theater killing of a dozen people and wounding of many more last July.

Connecticut is moving cautiously on gun control, but Gov. Andrew Cuomo in neighboring New York proposed a wide-ranging package of restrictions on Wednesday. He called for loopholes to be closed in a New York ban on assault weapons and ammunition magazines that carry more than 10 bullets. The Democrat also wants to require holders of handgun licenses to undergo follow-ups to make sure they are still qualified to possess a weapon, and he is calling for increased sentences for certain gun

dent of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.

Advocates participating in Wednesday’s meeting, some of whom have been critical of Obama’s silence on guns in the past, said they were optimistic that the president and Biden are committed to the effort this time around.

“I think it’s for real,” said Shira Goodman, executive director of CeaseFirePA. Biden also held a call with Wednesday with more than 30 governors, mayors and other state and local officials to get their input on ways to curb gun violence.

For Biden, Thursday will bring a tougher audience when the NRA joins a meeting at the White House along with other gun-owner groups and retailers including Wal-Mart.

NRA officials didn’t return messages for comment Wednesday but the group’s executive vice president, Wayne LaPierre, has dismissed the assault weapons ban as “a phony piece of legislation” and has recommended putting armed guards in all schools as a way to stop another school shooting.

At that moment, “I saw the cable whipping toward the deck. … You could just hear it buckling,” White said.

The impact shook the scaffolding he was on.

The crane cut down the framework of the building “like a hot knife in butter,” White said, because there was no concrete on it yet.

Roberson said the crane, which he estimated to be about 200 feet high, had been up since the weekend and went down really fast.

City officials went up in a cherry picker while investigating the accident.

Lomma was tried and acquitted on manslaughter charges.

A call to their offices seeking comment Wednesday wasn’t answered.

Those accidents spurred the resignation of the city’s buildings commissioner and fueled new safety measures, including hiring more inspectors and expanding training requirements and inspection checklists.

Another crane fell and killed a worker in April at a construction site for a new subway line. That rig was exempt from most city construction safety rules because it was working for a state-overseen agency that runs the subway system.

During Superstorm Sandy in late October, a construction crane atop a $1.5 billion luxury high-rise in midtown Manhattan collapsed in high winds and danged precariously for several days until it could be tethered.

The latest crane collapse wasn’t the only notable accident in New York City on Wednesday. A high-speed ferry loaded with hundreds of commuters from New Jersey crashed into a dock in lower Manhattan during morning rush hour, seriously injuring 11 people. The cause of that crash is also under investigation.

Pierce, 46, of Fletcher, allegedly took fuel from the Fletcher Fire Department and fire department officials later installed a concealed security camera to conduct surveillance on the fuel tanks.

Pierce was observed on the security footage with his personal vehicles — a Jeep and a truck — up to the tank and dispensing fuel on Dec. 25, 2012.

A member of the volunteer department had tracked the fuel records for the tank and reviewed the gauge.

It was found that at least 18 gallons of fuel had been pumped into Pierce’s personal vehicles at the time.

According to interview statements, Pierce admitted to dispensing fuel from the fire department tanks.

Pierce stated it was a long standing practice that department officers could use fuel as long as the usage involved matters beneficial to the department.

Pierce said he attended trainings, picked up parts and other errands for that fuel he had used. Fletcher Volunteer Fire Department officers told sheriff office detectives there was no reason a fire department member needed to dispense department fuel into a personal vehicle in the amount of fuel Pierce had dispensed.

Records state that the Fletcher Fire Department’s treasurer questioned a NAPA Auto Parts purchase totalling $94.18. Pierce submitted a false invoice for payment indicating oil and anti-freeze were purchased for the department.

Records show the purchase was for parts for Pierce’s personal vehicles with the department’s account in November 2012.

In the statement, Pierce identified his handwriting

for oil and anti-freeze indicating the NAPA invoice was for the department, although the detailed billing indicated that parts were purchased for a 2001 Dodge truck and a 2001 Jeep. Pierce admitted that he filed a false document to cover his wrongful acquisition for the parts.

Pierce also lives in a home owned by the fire department and records state he does not pay rent for the use of the property.

The home needed a new oven and money was approved for the purchase for $1,549 from Lowe’s. The oven was purchased on Nov. 28.

The oven then went on sale and Pierce obtained the $154.90 in cash for the difference on Dec. 12 from Lowe’s and did not return the money to the department.

Pierce said he intended to return the money, but a meeting had not yet occurred allowing him to do so. Sheriff’s detectives informed Pierce a meeting had occurred.

Pierce then indicated that problems had occurred regarding the installation of the oven in the home. Further, he said that he was maintaining the money in case the oven had to be returned or to pay for additional wiring.

In November 2010, Scott Pence stepped down as the Fletcher Fire Department chief after 30 years. Pierce assumed the fire chief position in March 2011.

DeWeese is now acting as chief for the volunteer department with more than 23 members until a special election will be held.

“This does not damage operation of the department at all,” DeWeese assured the community.

“We’ll continue to move forward and the community should see no difference in our services.”

spokesman for the city’s Department of Building, said their engineers were investigating the cause of the collapse.

“This is a mobile crane, whose boom collapsed onto the building under construction,” Sclafani said.

He said the crash happened at the site of a project for a 25-story apartment building under contract by TF Cornerstone, a residential and commercial real estate developer and property management company. The company said it was working with authorities to help determine what caused the crash.

It said the crane had been leased by a subcontractor, from New York Crane and Equipment Corp.

Construction cranes have been a source of safety worries in the city since two giant rigs collapsed within two months of each other in Manhattan in 2008, killing a total of nine people.

New York Crane’s equipment was involved in one of those collapses. Owner James

weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines. Congress let the ban expire in 2004 under heavy pressure from the NRA. Democrats blamed a backlash against some lawmakers who voted for its enactment 10 years earlier for steep election losses that year.

Since then Democrats have been wary of legislating on guns, and efforts have fizzled in Congress.

Already there are signs any new legislative effort by Obama could face tough going. Some pro-gun Democrats have voiced doubts, and the Senate’s top Republican has warned it could be spring before Congress begins considering any gun legislation.

Obama has said that his efforts on guns can be successful only if he has the support of the public, and who attended advocates Wednesday’s Biden meeting said part of the White House message was for participants to spread the word and keep up pressure on Washington.

crimes.

Biden, referring to the Newtown shootings, said at the White House: “Every once in a while, there’s something that awakens the conscience of the country, and that tragic event did it in a way like nothing I’ve seen in my career.”

“The president and I are determined to take action. … We can affect the wellbeing of millions of Americans and take thousands of people out of harm’s way if we act responsibly.”

Biden said that the administration is weighing executive action in addition to recommending legislation by Congress.

Recommendations to the Biden group include making gun-trafficking a felony, getting the Justice Department to prosecute people caught lying on gun backgroundcheck forms and ordering federal agencies to send data to the National Gun Background Check Database.

Some of those pieces could happen by executive action, but congressional say-so would be needed for more far-reaching changes such as reinstating the ban on assault

Saturday.

At the heart of this project will be the unveiling of a time capsule that was buried in 1939 when the school first opened.

“It’s going to be real interesting,” said council member Scott Fogle, who is an alumnus of MiltonUnion Schools.

While what’s in it remains a mystery to many, Kline and others assume that items such as newspapers and photos will be found inside.

The capsule will be opened at halftime at the school’s varsity boys’ basketball game on Feb. 9.

WEST MILTON Awards at West Milton’s city council meeting on Tuesday night.

The awards were given out by Vice Mayor Jason Tinnerman to area residents who had the best decorated houses for the Christmas season.

The winners were Tim and Cheryl Debrosse of Larrel Lane, Shawn and Amber Debrosse of South Main Street and David and Iona Emerick of Hayes Avenue.

Mayor appreciation Tinnerman publicly thanked and voiced his appreciation for Mayor Michael Coate for how he “went above and beyond” in calling and meeting with Representative Richard Adams to get the Safe Routes to Schools Program “back on track.”

The program, which had recently been pushed back Pride awards Three local couples took to 2015, is a sidewalk projhome Community Pride ect that will lead from

W. Hamilton Street to Hasket Road, connecting a bike and walk path to the school.

“I was just impressed that he took the time to get that done,” Tinnerman said.

According to Kline, who was at the meeting as well, the actual project’s construction has been moved back up to winter or spring of 2014 as a result of the work of Coate.

“It’s really because of the initiative of the mayor that we were able to get the ball rolling and get it moved up,” Kline said. “We’re very grateful for both ODOT (Ohio Department of Transportation) and Representative Adams as well.”

Council approved a motion to move the next workshop meeting from Jan. 22 to Jan. 31 right after its 6 p.m. meeting with the Milton-Union school board and Union Township. The three groups will be meeting in the municipal building.

attending the game can give back to the community this way.”

“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.”

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Commercial Appeal, Memphis, Tenn., on cancer drug shortages: Disgraceful. That’s the best description of the findings released recently that show unnecessary and damaging shortages of some cancer-treating drugs have led to relapses among some kids fighting cancer at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and elsewhere.

It wasn’t the hospital’s fault. In fact, it was St. Jude that blew the whistle on this disgrace.

A St. Jude investigator, Dr. Monika Metzger, led a blue-ribbon team from Stanford University School of Medicine and Boston’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, among others, in a study of what happens to children who lose access to a certain cancer-fighting drug and have to shift to substitute drugs during treatment.

Often, the results are shocking. The children get much sicker.

They suffer from more severe side effects. Sometimes their cancer returns.

And it doesn’t have to be that way. Stronger regulation and oversight of drug supplies, plus better product and inventory management by private drug manuAs I facturers, could fix this problem.

The federal tax credit supports the growth of a domestic manufacturing industry and a source of electricity with no fuel costs. And by keeping prices competitive, it lets the wind industry develop at a time when recent discoveries and techniques have made natural gas prices drop dramatically.

Low cost natural gas does not make the need for renewable power disappear. We still need to take advantage of multiple sources of energy, and while gas is cleaner than coal, it’s still a source of carbon pollution that contributes to global warning.

Because Congress cannot put a price on carbon, we all end up paying for the results of a warming planet, and there is no disincentive to burn fossil fuels. …

If we are serious about developing domestic energy, we should look beyond a single source, even if, like gas, the source is plentiful and relatively inexpensive.

Congress should support clean energy and jobs and extend the wind energy tax credit.

DOONESBURY

How I’m kicking smoking right in the butts I’m a quitter.

Always have been, really. With the exception of college (mom wouldn’t let me quit) and this job (can’t afford to quit), I’ve quit just about everything I’ve ever started. From sports to clubs to everything in between, I’ve never found an activity I couldn’t give up on.

When the going gets tough, I get going — in the opposite direction.

The first time I quit something was in the fourth grade, when I stopped playing little league baseball because I was afraid of getting hit by a pitch. In the seventh grade, I quit soccer because I thought the coach was “too mean.”

The next time I quit something was in the eighth grade, when I quit the wrestling team because I didn’t enjoy grueling physical workouts that still led to me getting pinned in every match I wrestled. After starring in a pair of junior high plays — and thoroughly enjoying them both times — I quit drama in the ninth grade because I was afraid they were going to make me sing in public (this, as it turns out, turned out to be a public service for everyone).

I’ve always wondered if my life would have turned out different had I not been such a quitter.

While I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have been a Major League Baseball player, Olympic wrestler or Broadway actor had I actually stuck with any of those things, I probably would have at least learned some pretty valuable les-

David Fong Troy Daily News Executive Editor sons about sticking things out and persevering through the tough times.

I’ve never been proud of being a quitter.

Until now, that is.

Twenty-one years ago, I smoked my first cigarette. I suppose I started smoking for the same reason most people start smoking — let’s face it, it makes you look really cool. I remember I was cruising Piqua with some of my friends — four of us crammed into a Ford Escort — and decided all the girls would swoon if we all started smoking. Needless to say, the ladies didn’t find us any more attractive once we started smoking than they had before.

That, however, wasn’t enough to stop me from smoking. I would spend the next two decades smoking off and on to various degrees. I smoked a lot of cigarettes in college — mostly because pretty much everyone smokes in college.

College is essentially about making a series of not particularly well thought out decisions, I’ve

— Susan Bell Troy

found.

Once I graduated from college and entered the work force, I would quit smoking off and on, depending on the level of stress at my job. I had been a non-smoker until I got promoted from assistant sports editor to sports editor.

With a new set of responsibilities and pressures, I returned to smoking. I would quit again — until I got promoted from sports editor to executive editor, at which point I started puffing away.

I was mostly a work and social smoker. In fact, most people outside of our office never knew I was a smoker. I went more than a decade without my wife knowing I smoked cigarettes. But when I was working — and working hard — I would smoke like a chimney.

The worst was always during football season. I would smoke before interviewing players and coaches, after interviewing players and coaches, driving to games, driving home from games and in between writing football stories.

If it was football season in Troy, I was smoking. During TroyPiqua week, it wasn’t uncommon for me to go through an entire pack in a work day.

All of that came to an end last fall, however. I’ll never forget Sept. 22, 2012. I was covering the Troy vs. Miamisburg football game. Thanks to traffic, I had arrived late at the game and had to run up a flight of stairs to get to the pressbox. When I got to the top, I was completely out of

breath. Needless to say, this concerned me.

So stressed out was I by the event that I worried about it the entire way home from Miamisburg. So I did what I normally did when I felt under pressure — I smoked cigarettes.

(Makes sense, I know). While filling up my car at a gas station on the way home, I had a moment of clarity.

Smoking cigarettes was making it difficult to run up a flight of stairs! The surgeon general had been right all along — smoking really was bad for me! At that moment, I pulled the pack of cigarettes from my pocket and threw them in the gas station garbage can.

I haven’t looked back since. No gum, no patch, no drugs — just a burning desire to live longer and watch my kids grow up. Not only do I no longer smoke cigarettes, I rarely have the desire to do so anymore.

Since quitting, I’ve found my life has changed in many ways.

No longer do I feel like I have to keep a secret from my family and friends. I can run further and faster than I ever have before. My clothes don’t smell bad anymore (or at least don’t smell as bad anymore).

Turns out quitting isn’t always a bad thing.

Troy’s very own David Fong appears on Thursdays in the Troy Daily News. He’s a quitter.

Council discusses 2013 construction projects

BY CECILIA FOX Civitas Media editorial@tdnpublishing.com At its first meeting of the new year, city council discussed one of the biggest construction projects of 2013: the replacement of downtown utilities and the reconstruction of Main Street.

Council voted last month to expand the downtown utilities replacement program to include a streetscape project. In addition to new water and sewer lines the project will now include new curbs, gutters, and sidewalks; new trees, trash cans, and benches; as well as new streetlights and traffic signals.

During the pre-meeting study session, council reviewed the preliminary design for the reconstruction and enhancement of Main Street. The new plans show slightly narrower driving lanes and wider sidewalks with decorative brick enhancements at street corners and along curbs.

“We’re going to narrow the street up a little bit and provide more pedestrian access,” Crusey explained.

Currently, Main Street is about 52 feet wide from curb to curb. The sidewalks are nearly 12 feet wide and the driving lanes are 17 and a half feet wide, much wider than the typical 12 foot lane.

The plan is to narrow Main Street to 45 feet across, with 14 foot driving lanes and 8 feet on both sides for parallel parking.

The sidewalks will be 15 and a half feet wide, with brick borders and new trees and street lights. to City According Engineer Scott Vagedes, narrowing the street and widening the sidewalks will slow vehicle traffic slightly while encouraging more pedestrian traffic downtown.

Following the decision to expand the Downtown Utilities Project to include

TIPP CITY Main Street’s reconstruction in December, city officials met with downtown business owners. According to City Manager Jon Crusey, the city’s plans received “nearly unanimous approval” from the downtown business owners who attended the meeting.

Crusey said that he has not received any negative feedback about the project and Councilman Pat Hale said that most people he has talked to seem “very excited.”

The addition of the street reconstruction and enhancement to the Downtown Utilities Project will require an extra 60 days or so of engineering design work, but construction is expected to begin early this summer and be mostly complete by midNovember.

The construction will likely begin at First Street and be completed about two blocks at a time.

Recognition of service During the meeting, two firefighters were recognized for their 40 years of volunteer service to Tipp City. Assistant Fire Chief Bob Steggeman and Firefighter Steve Stocker both joined the department 1972.

Steggeman in became the assistant chief in 1998 and serves as president of the Miami County Fire Chiefs. Stocker is a certified fire inspector and haz-mat technician and three generations of his family are members of the fire department, including his son-in-law and his grandson.

Mayor Dee Gillis presented both firefighters with proclamations congratulating them for their years of service. Many of the city’s volunteer firefighters attended the meeting in uniform to support

Steggeman and Stocker.

“On behalf of the mayor and council, we congratulate you and thank you for your service,” Crusey said.

In other business, Council voted on several appointments to various boards and committees.

Council must make these appointments every year.

The appointments are: • Board of Tax Appeals: Robert Blakey and Diane Koehler • Restoration Board: Ralph Brown, Karen Kuziensky, Joel Gruber and Nancy Cox • Tree Board: Thomas DeRoss • Economic Development Committee: Gillis, Katelyn Dee Berbach, and John Kessler from Council. Jon Crusey, John Green, and Brad Vath from city staff.

Kennedy, along with dive team leader, Kevin Ganger, and two other dive team members spent about three hours on the scene.

Murky and cold conditions hampered recovery efforts of the dive team, who recovered the truck but did not find Mr. Yaney inside, Kennedy said.

The body was found a short time later in the body of water, which Kennedy likened to a retention pond, after a grid search was performed. Kennedy said the water’s depth where the truck was recovered was between 10 to 12 feet.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said in a statement when he was awarded the prize that this theory laid on the boundary between economics and political science and Buchanan’s contribution was the idea that the political process “becomes a means of cooperation aimed at achieving reciprocal advantages.”

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Husband will not change until he realizes his behavior is harmful Dear Annie: Two years ago, I caught my husband having an emotional affair with a friend of ours. Even though we went through counseling and he told me he was no longer in contact with her, he lied. He continued to lie for almost a year, even during our counseling sessions. In one session, he tried to blame me for his actions, and after six months, he still refused to take any responsibility for the affair.

This whole thing has made me not trust him. I recently saw an email to an ex-girlfriend from high school. He said he wished he had been a better person, and that he would be looking for a woman like her.

He says they were just reminiscing about the past. I believe he is up to his old ways. I know he wouldn't like it if the tables were turned. Am I wrong to be upset and ready to divorce him? — Disappointed and Heartbroken Dear Disappointed: You aren't wrong to be upset, but whether or not to divorce him is a more difficult choice. Men often don't realize how hurtful an emotional affair can be. They don't understand that it is still a betrayal, and consequently, they don't always do the necessary work to heal the marriage from what they justify as a harmless flirtation.

Right now, your husband cannot be trusted to be faithful or honest.

He won't change unless he recognizes and admits that his behavior is wrong. Please go back to your counselor on your own and discuss what you can live with, whether you believe your husband will grow up anytime soon, and what the best course of action is for you.

Dear Annie: I am part of a family business, and I work from an office in my home. I get dressed for work every day, the same as those who work outside the home.

I am as important to our company as everyone else. If I'm not in my office, I miss phone calls from customers, vendors and employees who have to wait for me to get back to take care of their needs.

I have siblings and an elderly mother who all live nearby.

Because they think I "don't work," I am the one called upon to take Mom to doctor appointments and run errands for her. In addition, I am asked by family and friends to care for children who are home sick or cannot get to their regular child care provider.

Taking time from my job puts me behind, and I often have to work evenings and weekends to catch up.

These days, more and more people are working from home. Please tell others to be respectful. — Work-at-Home USA Dear Work: Working from home often gives others the impression that you don't actually work or that your time isn't that important. And while it may give you more flexibility with your hours, it is still the same number of hours, which would require working evenings and weekends to make up time spent doing other things during the day.

It would help for you to set boundaries. If you can manage to do these favors without resentment, go right ahead. But if you don't want to babysit little Johnny, say, "So sorry, but I'm working and can't take care of him. You'll have to make other arrangements." If you say it enough times, they will get it.

Dear Annie: This is in response to "Never the Better Offer," whose mother skips family gatherings because she would rather stay home by the phone waiting for a better offer from a potential date.

If Mom does not have a cellphone, they should give her one as a gift and pay for a year's service.

Then Mom will no longer have an excuse for missing out with family and friends, because she will still get her calls and can easily arrange for a short-notice date.

HOW TO PLAY: Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively. Find answers to today’s puzzle in tomorrow’s Troy Daily News.

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Help us understand the dishwasher ‘load code’ Dear Readers: The convenience of a dishwasher is undeniable. However, loading the dishwasher is always a topic of debate! Here are some hints from the manufacturers about the correct way to do it: • If you are not running the dishwasher right away, be sure to pre-rinse.

• Load plates and bowls with the serving surface facing the water spray.

• Be careful when placing longhandled utensils in the dishwasher — they can catch in the dishwasher swing arm and prevent dishes from getting clean.

• Forks and spoons should be alternated right side up and

Hints from Heloise Columnist upside down to prevent nesting.

• Do not place glasses or mugs on the tines. Place them between the tines, according to most manuals! Yes, I know most of us place them over the tines!

• Flat pans and cookie sheets should be placed around the sides of the bottom rack so they don’t block the water spray.

Read your dishwasher’s manual, or check online, to learn the best way to use your machine. If you’re not sure about putting something (wooden bowls, woodhandled knives or crystal) in the dishwasher, then wash it by hand.

— Heloise SECURED PURSE Dear Heloise: I read your previous column on securing your purse in the shopping cart at the grocery store (Heloise here: in the child seat with the seatbelt straps). I found that when I put mine in the cart, under the child seat, the belt reaches it, and it is safer than in the child seat. The purse also is not as easy to reach into. It makes me feel safer. —

Shirley H. in New York Shirley, this is an ongoing topic! Even though your way does “hide” and secure your purse, it’s still possible for a thief to get into it and grab your wallet. — Heloise HANGING SCARVES Dear Heloise: I have quite a few of the popular long scarves, and finding one readily in a drawer became a problem. I had extra pants hangers, and the thought hit me: Each hanger has four bars (for four pairs of pants) and is made of plastic with a nonslip surface. Each hanger can hold up to 12 scarves (unless they’re heavy). — Muriel W., Fair Oaks, Calif.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, Jan. 11, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The New Moon today urges you to examine your attitude to authority. Even though you are a rebellious sign, you have to accept certain limitations of authority, right?

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This might be the best day of the year to ask yourself what further education or training you could get that would improve your job. Not only that, how could further experiences or travel enrich your life?

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Take a serious look at your approach to shared property, inheritances and anything you own jointly with others.

This also includes debt. Do you have a plan on how to reduce your debt?

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) What can you do to improve your closest relationships? This is the perfect day to think about this.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Today’s New Moon urges you to think about how you can improve your job or the way that you do your work. In addition, how can you improve your health?

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) The New Moon is a time for resolutions. How can you improve your relationship with your kids? What kind of romantic partner are you? How often do express your creativity? Think about these things.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) What can you do to improve family relationships and also improve where you live? Today’s New Moon begs this question.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) We are social creatures. The New Moon today urges you to examine your style of communicating with others.

How can you improve?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) What is your attitude to money? Your attitude to something affects how it manifests in your life. Ever thought of that?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) The only New Moon in your sign all year is taking place today. Take a realistic look in the mirror and ask yourself how you can improve your appearance or the impression you create in the world.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) How often do you take time to be quiet and just grok your surroundings?

Today’s New Moon urges you to respect your inner world as well as your outer life.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Are you happy with the friends you have? Do you hang out with quality people? (Your friends can hugely influence your future.) Ponder this today.

YOU BORN TODAY You’re a shrewd judge of character and very capable and trustworthy. People respect you.

You have high morals, and you walk your talk. Because you try to be objective and give honest feedback to others, people value your expert opinion.

In year ahead, something you’ve been involved with for nine years will diminish or end to make room for something new.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Thursday, Jan. 10, the 10th day of 2013. There are 355 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 10, 1863, the London Underground had its beginnings as the Metropolitan, the world’s first underground passenger railway, opened to the public with service between Paddington and Farringdon Street.

On this date: • In 1776, Thomas Paine anonymously published his influential pamphlet, “Common Sense,” which argued for American independence from British rule.

• In 1870, John D. Rockefeller incorporated Standard Oil. • In 1946, the first General Assembly of the United Nations convened in London.

• In 1971, “Masterpiece Theatre” premiered on PBS with host Alistair Cooke introducing the drama series “The First Churchills.” French fashion designer Coco Chanel died in Paris at age 87.

• Ten years ago: North Korea withdrew from a global treaty barring it from making nuclear weapons.

With just three days left in office, Illinois Gov. George Ryan pardoned four death row inmates he said had

been tortured by Chicago police into falsely confessing to murders in the 1980s.

Cupcakes make a delicious treat in the new year A whole brand new year lies ahead. What does it have in store for us all?

Only God knows, so let us put our trust in Him. I hope everyone had a great, safe holiday. We had a very nice holiday after the flu bug finally left our house.

Christmas Day was spent here at home.

Elizabeth’s friend Timothy and Susan’s friend Mose joined us for the day. It was a memorable day playing games and just being together as a family.

Our thoughts and prayers went out to the ones missing family members this holiday season.They are missed even more during the special holiday time.

I put a breakfast casserole in the oven to heat while everyone opened their gifts. Days like that go way too fast.

Sunday we had the annual Christmas potluck dinner after church services. As always, there was more than enough food.

Daughter Loretta made cupcakes and frosted and decorated them to take along.

Monday evening Jacob, Emma and family came in honor of Joe’s birthday, which was Dec. 22. Joe grilled chicken and hot wings while I made scalloped potatoes. We also froze homemade ice cream

THE AMISH COOK

Lovina Eicher Troy Daily News Guest Columnist for our dessert and Emma brought donuts.

Jacob, Emma, and family, Timothy and Mose also spent New Year’s Day here. We had a brunch which was a “breakfast haystack.” Our breakfast haystack menu was biscuits cut into bite sized pieces, scrambled eggs, fried potatoes, chopped bacon, diced ham, shredded cheese, green peppers, diced tomatoes, diced onion, cheese sauce, salsa, hot peppers and sausage gravy.

After dishes were washed, we exchanged gifts with Emma and Jacob’s family. We had a name exchange, which was interesting to see who all had who.

Then everyone went sledding in our hayfield except for Jacob, Joe, Emma and I. We stayed in the warm house and played board games.

Timothy had a sled tied

snacks out for everyone.

Emma brought a lot of snacks too. I heated up the leftover chicken and wings from the evening before.

The rest of the afternoon was spent playing games.

Daughter Elizabeth went back to work at the factory on Wednesday. The children go back to school on Monday. Husband Joe will head back to work at the factory, also on

behind his pony and gave some pretty fast rides around the hay field. It looked liked it was a challenge to stay on the sled when he took some fast curves.

They also had fun sliding down the hill in the sled. The snow made some nice gliding downhill.

When they were all tired from sledding they came back in to warm up. We set

Daughter Susan has two more ponies here to train. One is a little miniature pony and the other is a bigger sized pony like our pony Stormy.

Her friend Mose’s dad gave Susan the pony to keep for her own. She is excited and eager to train her.

Benjamin and Susan have the pony, which is named Roxy, hitched to the pony cart now for the first time. It always makes me a little nervous until she has the ponies going good.

Benjamin, 13, enjoys helping her train the ponies. Jacob, Emma and family went to Berne, Ind. to have Christmas with Jacobs’ family. While there they stopped in to say “hi” to brother Amos, Nancy and family. Amos sent

along a roll of his homemade summer sausage he made. It was very good and disappeared quite fast around here. We appreciated it very much.

Trojans hang on Troy holds off Trotwood for division win Staff Reports After a pair of recent tough losses late in games, the Troy Trojans found themselves in a battle late once again on Wednesday.

This time, though, the Trojans got the job done.

Troy (6-8, 3-0 Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division) turned a one-point halftime deficit into a seven-point lead

TROTWOOD early in the fourth quarter Wednesday at Trotwood — and played just enough defense late to hold on for a 31-30 victory to solidify their spot atop the division.

“The girls know they can play better, but the bottom line is that we won,” Troy coach Nathan Kopp said. “We lost by three to Tipp, lost a close one to Minster … but this one, we scrapped every last second to get the win.”

Kristen Wood led the Trojans

Tippecanoe’s Halee Printz works the ball into the paint against a pair of Greenon defenders Wednesday night.

Hitting their stride Devils rout Greenon, win 5th of 6

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com Saturday, Tippecanoe didn’t let an ugly loss to Carroll keep it down.

Wednesday, the Red Devils showed no signs of a hangover after their big win over rival Kenton Ridge.

Tippecanoe (7-6) locked down a tough Greenon team on the defensive end, forcing a whopping 36 turnovers and allowing TIPP CITY a mere 10 field goals in a 57-31 Central Buckeye Conference crossover victory over the Mad River Division-leading Knights Wednesday at Pat Wampler Gymnasium.

It was the Devils’ fifth win in their last six games, with the 62-44 loss to Carroll the only blemish.

“We’ve been working hard on the defensive end, and it finally paid off,” Tippecanoe coach Aaron Jackson said. “After the Carroll game, we knew that was what we were going to have to do.

“Holding Greenon (which averages 52 points per game) to 31? That’s a big win for us.”

And even after Saturday’s hard-fought 80-73 victory over long-time Kenton Trail Division rival Kenton Ridge, there was no way the Devils were

Tipp boys rebound vs. Braves Staff Reports Tippecanoe’s boys bounced back after suffering their first loss of the season, using Springfield Shawnee as a rebound in a 2,605-2,380 victory Wednesday afternoon at Troy Bowl.

Ryan Rittenhouse led the way for the Red Devils (11-1, 8-1 Central Buckeye Conference) with games of 167-261 for a season-high 428 series. Logan Banks rolled 211-185—396, Steven Calhoun rolled 189-169—358, Jack Bauder rolled 181-174—355, Josh Bellas rolled a 166 and Jordan Vollmer a 138.

“It’s good to see the six of them bounce back after their first defeat,” Tippecanoe coach Clay Lavercombe said. “It’s nice to get a big win after your first loss. Glad to see it didn’t phase them.”

The girls (2-10, 2-8 CBC), meanwhile, dropped a narrow 1,8901,764 match to the Braves. Jenny Korleski led the way with 178102—280, Sarah Rhoades rolled 113-156—269, Sarah Marshall rolled 118-142—260, Kaitlin Thomas rolled 106-147—253 and Jasmine Fletcher rolled 102-92— 194.

Hall of Famers happy about vote

San Francisco Giants’ Barry Bonds reacts to flying out in St. Louis July 8, 2007. With the cloud of steroids shrouding many candidacies, baseball writers failed for the only the second time in more than four decades to elect anyone to the Hall of Fame Wednesday.

NEW YORK (AP) — Keep all the cheaters out of our club.

That was the prevailing sentiment from several baseball Hall of Famers who were happy to see Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa excluded from the Cooperstown fraternity Wednesday.

“I’m kind of glad that nobody got in this year,” former Detroit Tigers outfielder Al Kaline said.

“I feel honored to be in the Hall of Fame. And I would’ve felt a little uneasy sitting up there on the stage, listening to some of these new guys talk about how great they were.”

Goose Gossage went even further — he often does.

“I think the steroids guys that are under suspicion got too many

votes,” he said. “I don’t know why they’re making this such a question and why there’s so much debate. To me, they cheated. Are we going to reward these guys?”

Not this year, at least.

Baseball writers pitched a Hall of Fame shutout for 2013, failing to elect anyone for only the second time in 42 years.

Among those rejected were a trio of steroid-tainted stars in Bonds, Clemens and Sosa, all eligible for the first time.

Bonds received just 36.2 percent of the vote and Clemens 37.6 in results announced by the Hall and the Baseball Writers’ Association of America, both well short of the 75 percent needed

Devils fall to Arrows

Tippecanoe’s Cassie Gingerich has her shot blocked Wednesday against Greenon.

■ CONTINUED FROM 12 going to allow for a letdown.

“We took it in stride. We always take it in stride,” said.

“After Jackson Saturday’s game, we handed out scouting reports for Greenon. And tonight, we’ll do the same for Stebbins.”

And if winning is a puzzle, the Devils are putting all of the pieces in place.

Freshman Carly Clodfelter — getting her second consecutive start — led Tippecanoe in scoring with 17 points and five rebounds, sophomore Halee Printz led the Devils in a little of everything with 16 points, seven rebounds and six assists and senior Erica Comer, who also added seven points and seven rebounds, led the defensive effort by guarding the Knights’ leading scorer.

NEW CARLISLE

After wrestling on Saturday at the Troy Invitational — and with another quad at Troy on the slate for tonight — the Tippecanoe Red Devils were already a bit weary.

Throw in some middleof-the-season wear and tear, and things get even harder.

Still, the Red Devils toughed it all out Wednesday night in a dual against Central Buckeye Conference rival Tecumseh, in the end falling 40-32.

“This team has been battling injuries and illnesses for the last month,” Tippecanoe coach Jordan

Krebs said. “We had several key guys out of the lineup tonight, but we bumped around, filled some holes and battled.

I’m very happy with the way everyone wrestled.”

Mitchell Poynter (120) pinned Shaun Stant, Jack Peura (138) scored a 16-4 major decision over Steven Marker and Shane Dodd (182) scored a 14-0 major decision over Eric Masdon as the Devils won three of the nine matches that were wrestled on the night.

“There is always room for improvement, and we continue to improve every day,” Krebs said.

RG3 optimistic after surgery WASHINGTON (AP) — If Adrian Peterson can do it, maybe Robert Griffin III can, too.

Peterson set an incredible standard this season for NFL players returning from major knee surgery, nearly breaking the NFL single-season rushing record. Griffin need look nowhere else for an inspiration as the Washington Redskins quarterback begins the road back from an operation Wednesday on two ligaments in his right knee.

“I think it gives motivation to everyone,” said Russ Paine, a physical therapist in Houston who worked with the Peterson as the Minnesota Vikings running back went through rehab.

Griffin had his lateral collateral ligament repaired and his ACL reconstructed for a second

time. The surgery was performed in Florida by orthopedist James Andrews, who was optimistic that Griffin would be back on the field this fall.

“We expect a full recovery, and it is everybody’s hope and belief that due to Robert’s high motivation, he will be ready for the 2013 season,” Andrews said in a statement released by the Redskins. “The goal of his treatment is to give him the best opportunity for a long professional career.”

But no two athletes — or knee surgeries, for that matter — are exactly alike, so pinning down a date for Griffin’s return is an inexact science. Complicating matters is that Griffin tore the ACL in the same knee in 2009 while playing for Baylor.

University of Maryland head team physician Craig Bennett said football play-

ers typically need seven to 11 months to return from a second ACL reconstruction, but that it often takes up to a year for the ligament to be fully healed.

“Typically your first season back from an ACL reconstruction, there’s a tendency to have some struggles from time to time,” Bennett said.

That’s what made Peterson so remarkable.

He tore an ACL in late December 2011 and was the league’s best back in 2012.

Paine said Peterson’s focus and intensity in rehab and natural athletic gifts made the quick recovery possible. Many say Griffin has those same qualities, and he was sounding an upbeat tone on Twitter even before the surgery began early Wednesday morning.

“Thank you for your

prayers and support. I love God, my family, my team, the fans, & I love this game. See you guys next season,” Griffin tweeted.

While Griffin heals, the debate will continue as to whether he should have been on the field when he hurt the knee for a final time in the fourth quarter Sunday’s playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Griffin reinjured his knee in the first quarter and was obviously hobbled, but he stayed in the game after convincing coach Mike Shanahan that all was OK. “People can limp around; people can be hurting,” Hall of Fame quarterback and ESPN analyst Steve Young said Wednesday. “Some of the great John Wayne hero things that have ever happened in football happened because people play hurt.”

“We double-teamed their post player on the inbounds play, and they couldn’t get a shot off,” Kopp said. “It was a defensive struggle to say the least, and we played good defense.

“I told the girls it’s not always going to be pretty — especially on the road in league play in a tough environment. But we got the win. Both teams played hard on the defensive end, and we hung on.”

Troy — which has shared the GWOC North

title the past two seasons — now has a full onegame lead over both Butler and Sidney. The Trojans routed Butler 5028 on Saturday, and the Aviators knocked off Sidney 39-33 Wednesday night, dropping the Yellowjackets to 2-1 in the division, tied with Greenville — which Troy already owns a win over.

Hall of Fame ■ CONTINUED FROM 12 for election — yet still too close for Gossage’s taste.

Sosa, eighth on the career home run list, got 12.5 percent.

“Wow! Baseball writers make a statement,” Hall of Fame reliever Dennis Eckersley wrote on Twitter. “Feels right.”

The results keep the sport’s career home run leader (Bonds) and most decorated pitcher (Clemens) out of Cooperstown — at least for now. Bonds, Clemens and Sosa have up to 14 more years on the writers’ ballot to gain baseball’s highest honor.

“If they let these guys in ever — at any point — it’s a big black eye for the Hall and for baseball,” Gossage said in a phone interview with The Associated Press. “It’s like telling our kids you can cheat, you can do whatever you want, and it’s not going to matter.”

Bonds, baseball’s only seven-time MVP, hit 762 home runs — including a record 73 in 2001. He has denied knowingly using performance-enhancing drugs and was convicted of one count of obstruction of justice for giving an evasive answer in 2003 to a grand jury investigating

PEDs. Clemens, the game’s lone seven-time Cy Young Award winner, is third in career strikeouts (4,672) and ninth in wins (354).

He was acquitted of perjury charges stemming from congressional testimony during which he denied using PEDs. “If you don’t think Roger Clemens cheated, you’re burying your head in the sand,” Gossage said.

Sosa, who finished with 609 home runs, was among those who tested positive in MLB’s 2003 anonymous survey, The New York Times reported in 2009. He told a congressional committee in 2005 that he never took illegal performanceenhancing drugs.

“What really gets me is seeing how some of these players associated with drugs have jumped over many of the greats in our game,” Kaline said.

“Numbers mean a lot in baseball, maybe more so than in any other sport.

And going back to Babe Ruth, and players like Harmon Killebrew and Frank Robinson and Willie Mays, seeing people jump over them with 600, 700 home runs, I don’t like to see that.”
