Recall effort continues Opponents of Wisconsin’s Republican Gov. Scott Walker submitted nearly twice as many signatures Tuesday as required to force a recall election, but still face the challenge of transforming public outrage over his moves against unions into actual votes to oust him from office.

If Walker is worried, he’s not showing it: As the petitions were delivered to election officials, Walker was out of state raising money to defend himself and the agenda that has made him a national conservative hero. See Page 8.

Seattle braces for snowstorm Seattle, a city more accustomed to rain than snow, prepared for a potentially major snow storm to hit today as the city’s mayor urged residents to stay off roads and school officials prepared for the worst.

Snow has been falling steadily in various parts of western Washington and Oregon since the weekend, but meteorologists with the National Weather Service in Seattle said the biggest amounts could come today.

Marching to remember Marchers gather for annual MLK observance

BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com

Troy City Council recognized two Troy Fire Department personnel who recently were promoted due to the retirement of Troy Fire Department’s assistant chief David Newnam.

All members of council were present at the meeting, which took just 11 minutes. Council recognized new Platoon Commander Gary W. Stanley, Jr. to the rank of Assistant Fire Chief effective Sunday, Dec. 11, 2011.

Stanley was appointed to the Troy Fire Department on Jan. 31, 1993, and promoted to the position of Platoon Commander effective May 15, 2011.

Stanley’s promotion created a vacancy in the position of Fire Department Platoon Commander. The Troy Civil Service Commission conducted a written examination and assessment for Platoon Commander earlier in 2011 and has certified a candidate from that process.

Council also recognized Firefighter Donald W. Pemberton as Platoon Commander, effective Dec. 11, 2011. Pemberton was appointed to the Troy Fire Department on June 4, 1995.

Patrick Titterington, director of public service and safety, congratulated both fire fighters.

Councilman Al Clark recommended Ruth Ann Cron to fill a vacancy on the Miami County board of health through March 31, 2015.

No resolutions or ordinances were on the agenda.

Mayor Michael Beamish thanked each of the auto dealers who took part in the donation of a 2007 Jeep

diverse group of people gathered Monday morning at the public TROY square in downtown Troy to symbolically march hand-in-hand, singing hymns before a service to commemorate the life of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. at St. John United Church of Christ.

Maria Harrison, 20, a Troy native and student at Wright State University, participated in the march with her sister Kaitlynn, 17, in celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The group gathered at the Bakehouse Bread and Cookie Company prior to the march to the church.

“I can be in this coffee shop with everybody else and it’s not awkward and not be thrown out,” said 17 year-old Kaitlynn Harrison. “Sometimes it’s hard to imagine what life was like.”

“We are the future,” Maria Harrison said.

“Someone has to keep it going.”

“The barrier is in your mind — I can do all things, through Christ, who strengthens me,” Collier said. “If God is for you — who dare be against you?”

Collier said King broke barriers in the Southern United States and Nelson Mandela broke barriers in South Africa — and those men still inspire all people today.

“They were the ones who ignored barriers placed on them and they believed in their minds that change would come,” Collier said. “Martin Luther King had a dream he believed change would come.”

Collier emphasized the need for unity amongst all races.

Troy resident Lester Conard commented on the recent Troy Planning recent Commission’s review of the Summerfield Land Company’s proposed Stonebridge Meadows housing development during its meeting on Jan. 11.

“The race is on again with Summerfield’s Stonebridge Meadows,” Conard told council.

Conard said the contractors don’t seem to follow the rules and regulations and has “the city over the barrel.”

“That’s a sad thing,” Conard said in closing.

Troy City Council in December 2009 unanimously approved the Stonebridge Meadows rezoning and 135-lot residential development, located west of the

McKaig Road and State Route 718 intersection.

The current proposal lists 134 lots with an increase in lot size.

The proposal also includes an increase of housing phases from the approved five phases over a 7-10-year period, to seven phases over 10-to14 years. The proposed development also increases lot sizes and removes the subdivision’s 4-acre private park.

Troy Planning Commission’s Planning and Zoning Director Tim Smith said the presentation of the new proposed Stonebridge Meadows general plan was for discussion purposes only and the new plan was not ready for recommendation until the next TPC meeting. Recommendation is planned for the commission’s next meeting, set for 3:30 p.m. Jan. 25.

On Dec. 22, 2009 Troy City Council unanimously approved the rezoning and development plan for Stonebridge Meadows as an emergency. The vote for the rezoning was 7-0.

The next city council meeting is set for 7 p.m.

Feb. 6 in council chambers at City Hall.

Obama to accept Dems’ nomination CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — President Barack Obama plans to accept the Democratic presidential nomination in the open air of Bank of America Stadium on the final day of his party’s convention here next summer, repeating a page from his 2008 convention playbook.

Democrats also announced Tuesday that the convention will be shortened from the traditional four days to three to have a day to OBAMA celebrate the Carolinas, Virginia and the South. That celebration would take place on Monday, Sept. 3, which is Labor Day, at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

The convention would run Tuesday through Thursday at the Time Warner Arena.

Obama will deliver his acceptance speech on Thursday, Sept. 6. Moving the speech to the 74,000seat stadium, which is home to the NFL’s Carolina Panthers, will allow thousands more activists and others to attend, officials said.

In 2008, Obama accepted the Democratic nomination under the open skies of Denver’s Invesco Field.

“From the start, this convention has been about engaging more people in the process,” said Democratic Party Chairman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. “We saw in Denver in 2008 how holding the president’s acceptance speech at Invesco Field allowed more American’s to be part of the process and

“These people didn’t donate any money. They weren’t delegates. They were supporters from across the West who received community pass-

es to attend. And we want to replicate that experience right here in Charlotte,” said Wasserman Schultz, a Florida congresswoman.

and other Democratic officials said they hope the changes create enough excitement to boost Obama’s chances of winning North Carolina again. Obama won the

state by 14,000 votes in 2008, the slimmest margin of all the states he carried, becoming the first Democrat since Jimmy Carter to carry the state.

U.S. wants effective Alzheimer’s treatment by 2025 WASHINGTON (AP) — Effective treatments for Alzheimer’s by 2025?

That’s the target the government is eyeing as it develops a national strategy to tackle what could become the defining disease of a rapidly aging population.

It’s an ambitious goal — and on Tuesday, advisers to the government stressed that millions of families need better help now to care for their loved ones.

“What’s really important here is a comprehensive plan that deals with the needs of people who already have the disease,” said Alzheimer’s

Association president Harry Johns, one of the advisers.

Already families approach the advisory committee “reminding us of the enormity of our task,” said Dr. Ron Petersen, an Alzheimer’s specialist at the Mayo Clinic who chairs the panel.

The Obama administration is developing the first National Alzheimer’s Plan to address the medical and social problems of dementia — not just better treatments but better day-today care for dementia patients and their overwhelmed caregivers, too.

The plan still is being

written, with the advisory panel’s input. But a draft of its overall goals sets 2025 as a target date to have effective treatments and ways to delay if not completely prevent the illness.

Some advisory members said that’s not aggressive enough, and 2020 would be a better target date.

“We want to be bold,” said Dr. Jennifer Manly of Columbia University. “We think the difference of five years is incredibly meaningful.”

Regardless, an estimated 5.4 million Americans already have Alzheimer’s or similar dementias — and how to help their fami-

lies cope with day-to-day care is a priority, the advisory committee made clear Tuesday.

The disease is growing steadily as the population ages: By 2050, 13 million to 16 million Americans are projected to have Alzheimer’s, costing $1 trillion in medical and nursing home expenditures. That doesn’t count the billions of dollars in unpaid care provided by relatives and friends.

Today’s treatments only temporarily ease some dementia symptoms, and work to find better ones has been frustratingly slow.

Scientists now know that Alzheimer’s is brewing for years before symptoms appear, and they’re hunting ways to stall the disease, maybe long enough that potential sufferers will die of something else first.

But it’s still early-stage work.

Meanwhile, as many as half of today’s Alzheimer’s sufferers haven’t been formally diagnosed, a recent report found. That’s in part because of stigma and the belief that nothing can be done.

Symptomatic treatment aside, a diagnosis lets fam-

ilies plan, and catching Alzheimer’s earlier would be crucial if scientists ever find a way to stall it, the advisory panel noted.

Among the goals being debated for the national plan: —Begin a national public awareness campaign of dementia’s early warning signs, to improve timely diagnosis.

—Give primary care doctors the tools to assess signs of dementia as part of Medicare’s annual checkup.

—Have caregivers’ health, physical and mental, regularly checked.

—Improve care-planning and training for families so they know what resources are available for their loved one and themselves.

A training program in New York, for instance, has

”

proved that caregivers who are taught how to handle common dementia problems, and given support, are able to keep their loved ones at home for longer.

Such programs “are dirt cheap compared to paying for nursing home care,” said David Hoffman, who oversees Alzheimer’s programs for the New York State Department of Health.

But hanging over the meeting was the reality of a budget crunch. The government hasn’t said how much money it will be able to devote to the Alzheimer’s plan, and states have seen their own Alzheimer’s budgets cut.

“We’re not going to fix this without substantial resources,” Hoffman said.

“In New York, we’re hanging on by our nails,” he added.

ONLINE POLL

(WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM)

Question: Will Mitt Romney be the GOP presidential candidate?

Watch for final poll results in Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News.

Watch for a new poll question in Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News.

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 Dallas Morning News on Mitt Romney: Expectations for Mitt Romney had been high in the GOP’s first primary, in New Hampshire. But he managed to meet them with a strong win. … coupled with his narrow win of Iowa’s caucuses, Romney has cemented his position as his party’s frontrunner.

In fact, by winning the first two contests, he has done what no other non-incumbent Republican has accomplished. Romney has a momentum that Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush , Bob Dole , George W. Bush and John McCain lacked in their failed attempts to sweep Iowa and New Hampshire, provided they weren’t already sitting in the president’s chair.

Romney is certainly not flawless. Although the former business executive is passionate and poised on the stump, he lacks a natural connection with voters.

One undecided New Hampshire voter summed up the problem when she told a member of this paper’s editorial board that Romney seemed too cosmetic.

Still, Romney’s showing is good for Republicans, with his focus more on issues economic than cultural. This will serve the GOP well if it is to win over independents, especially those anxious about the economy. If the party takes a detour into another culture war, Republicans will lose mainstream Americans worried about their pocketbooks. …

As the battle for a Romney alternative plays out, the continuing personal attacks threaten to undermine the GOP’s appeal.

Then again, Republicans will face an entirely different problem if it’s Ron Paul who breaks through; his isolationism poses a danger to Americans economically and militarily.

But today, the spotlight shines more brightly on Mitt Romney.

The onus is on him to capitalize on his unprecedented momentum.

Los Angeles Times on policing indecency: The Supreme Court will hear argument Jan. 17 to invalidate a Federal Communications Commission policy that punishes broadcasters for spontaneous vulgar utterances — so-called fleeting expletives. That’s an easy call, but the justices face the harder task of deciding whether advances in technology have undermined the rationale for any governmental policing of indecency on television.

The fleeting expletive cases involve the use of the “F-word” or a variation on it by Cher and Nicole Richie on live award shows broadcast outside the FCC’s “safe harbor” for adult programming, from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. The court also will review FCC action against the filmed program “NYPD Blue” for showing partial nudity in an episode aired at 9 p.m. in some time zones.

Punishing a broadcaster for inadvertent remarks over which it has no control makes no sense. Indeed, the FCC recognized as much until a policy change in 2004. But in examining the cases, the U.S. 2nd Court of Appeals went further than invalidating the rule; it struck down the FCC’s entire indecency policy as unconstitutionally vague, noting that the agency used subjective criteria. For example, coarse language in the prime-time broadcast of the film “Saving Private Ryan” was considered acceptable, as is vulgarity in a “bona fide” news program — a term open to multiple interpretations.

But if the FCC can’t protect children from indecency on the airwaves, parents might ask, wouldn’t that threaten their innocence? That concern assumes inaccurately that broadcast television and radio are still the only or principal media that expose children to unsuitable material.

Certainly the Supreme Court should reject the FCC’s fleeting expletives rule. But it needs to recognize that the day is fast approaching when it will have to decide whether the FCC should be in the business of policing indecency at all.

DOONESBURY

Courage is about much more than climbing bridges I’ve done it again. I’ve been sucked into the depths of the dumbest show I have ever watched. As I said last time, I would never watch another season of “The Bachelor,” and I was firm about it when I said it. Well, that was then and this is now.

I failed, miserably. Last Monday, Chels and I were having “roomie night.” She turned on the TV and turned on the stupid reality show that so many of us say we are not going to watch, but do.

I didn’t want to leave or mess up our roomie time, so I sat and watched. Monday, she posed the question “Bachelor when I get home?” Sure. I had it on before she got home, because of the dang previews the week before.

Well, it kicked off with a bang and by that I mean, me making fun of it before it even got 15 minutes on air. Ben and one of the ladies, “Emily,” went on a one-onone. He took her to the Bay Bridge to see if she had “the courage” to climb to the top. Of course they were both afraid of heights and of course she had a breakdown halfway up the bridge. I bet you can’t guess what happened next. Ben, of course, came to her rescue, encouraged her, told her she could, of course, accomplish said task and it

Katie Yantis Troy Daily News Columnist would make the world of difference in the progression of their relationship. He kissed her and miraculously all her fears disappeared and they made it to the top. “If we can make it through this together we can make it through anything,” or something along those lines, was said as they kissed and laughed and hugged at the top looking over the beautiful land of San Francisco.

This started the churning of my brain as almost anything does. I am sorry, but it not only takes courage to climb a bridge and by doing so doesn’t make breaking strides in a relationship.

By definition — it takes courage to jump out of a plane or jump off a bridge or climb to the top of a bridge. To me, however, it is just about overcoming fear and

— Margaret Lefler Troy

realizing that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to.

Courage, real courage — that is a whole other concept I feel many people have lost sight of.

While it is defined as “the ability to do something that frightens one,” courage isn’t just about doing things that you are fearful of. It has a slang term that is often used in its place — “guts.”

Courage to me, is having the “guts” to do the small things you think you can’t and to say the right things when you can’t find the words.

Courage is the inner strength to do something right for yourself and for others when society and its standards are pointing you in the other direction. Real courage is having enough “guts” to look someone in the eye you care about and share honestly with them what you think and feel about what is going on in your life. Courage is the ability to love with all your heart even when you have no reason to because of your past.

Courage is the strength to fight for the things you love.

Real courage is the ability to say what you mean and mean what you say and act accordingly.

My views on courage are also the reason why the whole concept

of “The Bachelor” aggravates me so, even though I continue to watch it. The idea of “liking where this is headed” with eight or nine girls and not differentiating any of the relationships is silly to me. I admire the girl that left early because it didn’t feel right. I admired Ben when he sent people home early. That, my friends, is courage. It took courage for Brittany to walk up to him and say, “This isn’t right; I’m going home” and it takes courage for him to do the same thing to a girl and send her packing.

There was no “Oh, we will see how things go because I really care about you and would like for it to work.” No. It was — “It’s not working. I don’t care about you.

Goodbye.” I personally think if people had more courage, a lot of frustrations, issues and problems would resolve themselves.

I include myself when I say, maybe as a late New Year’s resolution, we should all try and have a little more courage, courage to love with all our hearts, speak with honesty and follow our hearts and not our heads when we have something special in front of us.

Groups file signatures to recall governor MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Opponents of Wisconsin’s Republican Gov. Scott Walker submitted nearly twice as many signatures Tuesday as required to force a recall election, but still face the challenge of transforming public outrage over his moves against unions into actual votes to oust him from office.

If Walker is worried, he’s not showing it: As the petitions were delivered to election officials, Walker was out of state raising money to defend himself and the agenda that has made him a national conservative hero.

The 1 million signatures that United Wisconsin, the coalition that spearheaded the effort along with the Democratic Party, said were collected far exceeds the 540,208 needed and amounts to 23 percent of the state’s eligible voters.

Walker was elected in 2010 as part of a national Republican tide, and quickly angered unions and others with aggressive moves that included effectively ending collective bargaining rights for nearly all public workers.

Recall circulators in neon vests who were turning in the petitions Tuesday surrounded a U-Haul truck filled with boxes of documents. The group held hands and formed a line leading toward the office of the Government Accountability Board, as some protesters yelled anti-Walker chants. The boxes inside the office full of petitions targeting Walker were stacked five high and 11 rows deep.

Petitioners said they were submitting about 305,000 more

deficits, double-digit tax increases and record job loss, I expect Wisconsin voters will stand with me and keep moving Wisconsin forward.”

Republican Party Chairman Brad Courtney issued a statement denouncing what he called a baseless and expensive recall.

An election is expected to cost at least $9 million.

“Regardless of what the radical left may believe, Wisconsin families will continue to stand with Gov. Walker,” Courtney said.

The governor’s supporters have been training volunteers how to vet signatures and they plan to create a database where names will be entered and verified. Walker has already successfully sued the state elections board to require it to do a more extensive review of the signatures than originally planned in order to catch duplicates and obviously fake names like Mickey Mouse.

The Government Accountability Board has said its review will take 60 days or more and it will go to court this week to seek more than the 31 days allowed under the law.

Tate said he didn’t expect a Walker recall election would happen before May. Walker has said he thinks it will be in June.

Recalls have become common in Wisconsin since the political tumult of 2011 that saw Walker and Republicans pass the collective bargaining changes, one of the country’s most restrictive laws requiring photo identification at the polls, and a budget that included an $800 million cut to public schools.

Greece in race against time to avoid default ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece resumed talks with its international debt inspectors Tuesday, facing a race against the clock to avoid becoming the first country that uses the euro to default on its debts and potentially trigger a chain reaction that could ultimately destroy the European single currency itself.

The debt inspectors — whose mission chiefs are

expected in Athens Friday after technical teams lay the groundwork — face a massive task. They have to once again find more ways to cut spending and raise revenue in a country that is increasingly seen as immune to fundamental reforms.

Apart from identifying financial shortfalls produced since their last visit in December, they also have to set up a detailed policy and spending program for

the next two years if Athens wants to have a chance at securing an extra euro130 billion ($166 billion) in rescue loans. Those loans were promised in October, after it became clear that a first euro110 billion bailout granted in May 2010 was not enough to buffer a Greek economy in freefall.

And the inspectors from the International Monetary Fund, European Central Bank and European

WE ARE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE...

Commission — known as the ‘troika’ — are not the only foreign officials in town this week.

While they go through Greece’s books, the government in Athens is also locked in a battle to convince banks and other private bondholders to forgive half of the Greek debt they hold — an essential part of the second rescue package.

At the same time, the head of the European Union’s task force for Greece is also in the capital, looking to streamline the country’s sprawling bureaucracy, trying to improve lax tax collection and kickstart stalled infrastructure projects.

For the Greek government, the stakes could not be higher. The country has to repay a euro14.5 billion bond in March — one that it can’t afford to pay.

Negotiations with the bondholders on the bond swap — and ideally the troika — have to be concluded by Jan. 30, when European leaders meet in Brussels to scrutinize the deal.

The crucial bond swap negotiations with the Institute of International Finance, which represents bondholders, stalled on Friday after a sudden dis-

Dr. Michelle Achor has purchased the practice of Dr. Dan Bailey. This past fall, Dr. Bailey accepted the position of Chief Medical Officer at Upper Valley Medical Center and is no longer treating patients. Dr. Achor has been practicing podiatry with Dr. Bailey for the last 3 years and will continue to see patients at the Troy and Tipp City offices. Dr. Achor has extensive podiatric medical and surgical training. She treats all foot and ankle ailments including nail problems, diabetic foot care, wounds, heel pain, bunions, hammertoes, flatfeet, tendonitis, fractures, tendon ruptures, and arthritis. She also performs complex foot and ankle reconstructions.

by the end of this week, with a formal public offer at the beginning of February, a senior Greek finance ministry official said last week.

Only then will Greece know how many bondholders are actually willing to participate voluntarily.

If the agreement goes ahead, it would both reduce the amount the country has to pay on its debt and extend the maturity date, giving the country muchneeded breathing space. If it doesn’t, it puts into question the entire second bailout and makes the possibility of a messy default alarmingly likely.

agreement arose with other eurozone countries and the IMF over the interest rate on the new bonds.

Talks will resume Wednesday, the IIF said, which went on to press the “sense of urgency” over the need for a deal. However, it was not clear whether positions had moved closer together since last week.

After Greece’s economy shrank almost 6 percent last year, the official lenders are trying to cap the amount of money they have to pump into the country.

Time is running short.

Ideally, a final outline of the debt deal should be reached

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Channel your anger into something constructive Dear Annie: My girlfriend broke up with me in April because she wanted to date another guy.

Over the summer, she sent me random emails and text messages about various things, a few of which I answered out of politeness.

In September, we both attended the funeral of a mutual friend. I let her know that I wasn't totally over her, but I was doing OK in her presence. She then said that she had broken up with the other guy and that she missed all the things we did, still loved me and wanted a relationship.

A week later, she called to say that she had spoken to her counselor and that all she could offer me at this time was friendship.

She then invited the other guy back into her life as "a friend." But when I checked her Facebook page, I learned she had been having him over to her house every week.

I finally got angry, and we had a blowup. Now she says her counselor told her that "men can't just be friends." She emailed, telling me that we need to move on and that she hopes to see me at my upcoming school reunion.

I don't want to see this woman again, ever. She used me and lied to me. She hurt me more the second time than she did the first.

She has no business coming to my school reunion, as she never went to school there. Right now, if she approached me, there would be an angry scene. Am I wrong to feel this way? — Angered in California Dear Angered: You can't help how you feel when you've been mistreated. This woman seems confused and a little selfish and, frankly, could benefit from spending some time without a man in her life. But try to channel your anger into something constructive.

Live your life fully. Make new friends. Date other women. Stop looking at her Facebook page. You deserve better.

Dear Annie: My family recently had a big birthday bash for my father. My sister made a slide show that included photos of my late wife but no photos of my current wife, even though we've been together for 12 years. Naturally, my wife feels hurt and claims that my sister made clear where she stands with my family. She also asked me not to confront my sister, saying it wouldn't accomplish anything positive. My wife now wants to cancel future family gatherings where my sister will be present.

This same sister caused all kinds of stressful problems with my late wife, and I don't want to see that repeated. What can I do to mend my wife's hurt feelings? — Stuck in the Middle Dear Stuck: Explain to her that your sister behaved abominably to your first wife, too, which indicates she is possessive of you and jealous of your significant others. Please don't avoid your parents and other siblings because one sister cannot control herself.

Even though your wife doesn't want a confrontation, we think your sister needs to know that her behavior is unacceptable. Tell her.

Dear Annie: I was appalled at your response to "Frustrated in Colorado," whose racist mother-inlaw will not accept her biracial adopted daughter, "Amanda," and, worse, is now moving closer to their area. Why would you suggest that she give Grandma the opportunity to spend one more second with this 12-year-old child?

Amanda does not deserve to be in a position to hear more hurtful and ugly opinions from her grandmother. My advice would be to refuse any contact unless the mother-in-law promises to be warm and kind to her. If she cannot or will not make such a promise, let her son visit on his own time, but the wife and daughter have no obligation to do so. — Disagree in Salem Dear Salem: Perhaps "warm" is expecting too much, but the parents should certainly insist that Mom treat the child with kindness and not make any cracks about her place in the family. And we hope that living closer will provide the motivation.

MONDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Here’s the lowdown on cooking with oil Dear Heloise: What are the differences among vegetable oil, canola oil, corn oil and olive oil? How should each of these oils be used, and can they be substituted for each other in recipes? — Debbie, via email Good question, and it can be confusing! The main difference is what each is made from. All are “vegetable” oils, except for the olive oil.

Vegetable oil is made from soybeans. It is good for all-purpose cooking and baking because of its light taste.

Canola oil is made from canola seed and also has a light taste, which makes it good for all types of cooking. It

Hints from Heloise Columnist is a healthy choice for using in dressings and marinades.

Corn oil is made from corn.

It is good for deep frying and rich in flavor.

Olive oil is made from olives, which are actually a fruit from the olive tree. It has a fruity, full-bodied flavor, but every olive will create different-fla-

vored oil depending on the olive used and where it was harvested.

In baking, oils can be a substitute for melted butter, margarine or shortening in recipes.

You can substitute and experiment with the oils in all of your cooking. Let your taste be the guide for how you use them. — Heloise GINGER HINT Dear Heloise: I use fresh ginger in brewing tea and cooking. However, I have found that as a root it deteriorates quickly, even in the refrigerator.

So, I peel and grate all of the ginger at once, measure it in

half teaspoons onto a plate, freeze it, put the frozen lumps into a plastic zip bag and store them in the freezer.

The ginger is ready to brew or cook with the next time I need it. — Jamie D. in Houston I love ginger, too! Freezing ginger does work well, and it can be stored for up to six months this way.

Refrigerator storage requires wrapping the leftover, unpeeled ginger tightly in paper towels and then placing in a sealable plastic bag.

The ginger will store for up to three weeks this way. — Heloise

ARLO AND JANIS

HOROSCOPE Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2012 Although you won’t necessarily emphasize objectives that are of a material nature when making a list of goals, as each one is achieved they could collectively end up helping to improve your financial lot in life.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Even though you believe that friends will back up your words, it might not happen. The support you’ve been looking for isn’t likely to be forthcoming, so play things close to the vest.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Unfortunately, it might be difficult for you to stay the course. All those good intentions of yours could quickly be swept aside if you let outside distractions influence you.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — You’re not likely to be plagued with a lack of imagination. In fact, the problem you’ll have will be one of being too easily swayed by your illogical concepts.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You’re likely to get a much better price from a stranger than from the usual places at which you do business. Check out all your sources before making a large purchase.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Although your objectives are worthy ones, a busybody could gum up the works for you if you let him or her do so. Your aims might be quite different from those of your pal.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Generosity is a noble virtue, but it should be dosed with a bit of wisdom. Be careful not to give to an unworthy pal while forgetting about someone who has done much for you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — There are no guarantees that you will yield the same good fortune if you replicate a friend’s endeavor. Your pal might have been in the right spot at the right time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Even though you might try to please everyone in the same manner, it doesn’t always work. Disappointment on your part can be minimized by realizing that you can’t be all things to all people.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If you want to fulfill an important objective, you need to be quite shrewd and resourceful. However, be careful not to do anything that would violate your code of ethics.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — You’ve been in a cycle of peaks and valleys lately when it comes to your finances.

If you make this day one of prudent spending and negotiation, it’ll pay off for you more than usual.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Do first all the things that you know you can accomplish on your initial effort, because if you try something hard and fall short, it’s likely to stop you from trying anything else.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Don’t be a source for gossip or hearsay that has yet to be substantiated. If you say anything negative about another, chances are the same will be said about you.

lanche danger in the Cascades, where between 1 to 2 feet of snow were expected.

Transportation crews closed off a section of Interstate 90 on Snoqualmie Pass, a main east-west highway in the state, for several hours Tuesday morning to control for avalanche danger.

If the past is any hint, even several inches of snow has the potential to paralyze the city of Seattle. The city owns relatively few snowplows and Seattle drivers are mostly inexperienced with driving in snow or ice.

John Lee, a graphic designer who lives in Mill Creek north of Seattle, decided to work from home Tuesday when he looked out his window and saw several inches of snow on the ground and more falling.

SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle, a city more accustomed to rain than snow, prepared for a potentially major snow storm to hit today as the city’s mayor urged residents to stay off roads and school officials prepared for the worst.

Snow has been falling steadily in various parts of western Washington and Oregon since the weekend, but meteorologists with the National Weather Service in Seattle said the biggest amounts could come today.

Forecasts issued Tuesday morning called for about 5 to 10 inches of snow in the Seattle metropolitan area with heavier amounts expected in communities along the Interstate 5 corridor south of Seattle.

“Wednesday is going to be a good day to stay at home,” said Brad Colman, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Seattle. “The road is going to be treacherous.”

Street crews throughout the region were salting and sanding streets, local agencies prepared to open emergency shelters and commuters made plans to stay at home. Officials also warned of high ava-

Troy’s Hansen 4th at home meet

That meet took place on Monday at the Gem City Gymnastics in Tipp City, as the Trojans celebrated Senior Day by hosting the Troy Tumble for the Troops.

And for Troy’s Jennifer Hansen, performing in front of her family at Gem City was a welcomed opportunity.

Hansen, a sophomore that qualified for the state meet as a freshman last season, found herself up on the podium three times, scoring 8.75 to place second on the bars, finishing sixth

Hansen also finished 10th in the floor (8.625).

“Overall, I think I did OK,” Hansen said. “I’m proud of myself.

“It’s (Gem City) my home ground, so I felt good doing it. I was proud of my teammates and just glad with what I had done.

Plus, my dad was here doing the color guard. He’s a soldier, so I did it for him.”

Comeback falls short in 54-50 Trojan loss to Elks

Even a late 3-point barrage and some tough fourth-quarter defense couldn’t help Troy dig out of an early hole.

But the most disappointing part for the Trojans?

They dug that hole for themselves.

Troy played most of Tuesday night’s game against Centerville without three of its starters on the floor thanks to early and constant foul trouble, and even four TROY second-half 3s by Cody May — two in the game’s final minute — couldn’t help the Trojans get out in a 54-50 loss to the Elks at the Trojan Activities Center.

With May — who finished with a game-high 25 points, six rebounds and three blocked shots — starting point guard Zach Martinez and starting center Zack Rohr all on the bench with three fouls in the second quarter, the Elks (6-7) went on a 14point run to turn a 14-13 game into a 30-15 lead at the half.

“I don’t know why we get ourselves into a sense of urgency before we decide to play,” a frustrated Troy coach Tim Miller said. “Just like

Roundup

Troy’s Dylan Cascaden hits a jumper Tuesday night against Centerville.

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 against Fairmont last week, we were reeling trying to figure out who we were going to put into the game.

“We need to play smarter. It’s hard to get any sense of continuity when we’re always changing our lineup each trip down the floor because someone picked up another foul.”

Centerville led by as many as 17 points at 3316 early in the third quarter, but the Trojans (8-4) refused to go away — even with Martinez and Rohr picking up their fourth fouls early in the quarter.

They chipped away at the constantly, and lead Martinez hit a 3 to kick off the fourth quarter that cut the lead to single digits for the first time since the second quarter.

Martinez finished with 10 points, six rebounds and three steals and Seth Lucas had seven points and four assists.

And with the starters unable to play defense for fear of picking up more cheap fouls, Dylan Cascaden, Jordan Price and Dre Hudson had to pick up the slack.

“We had some guys come in and give us a nice lift off the bench,” Miller said. “But we’d like that to be by choice, not because the situation dictates it because we can’t stay out of foul trouble. They (Centerville) had us on our heels — we couldn’t do anything to stop them defensively, and they knew that. They were going to compromise us by forcing us to foul.”

With Rohr (four points) already fouled out, an uncontested drive by Brett Kubaszewski (14 points) made it 52-43 with 1:25 to play, but Lucas found May open for a 3 — and May ironically drew a foul on the shot, converting the four-point play to make it a five-point game.

Martinez then fouled out, and Eric Meininger (12 points) hit a pair of free throws to make it 54-47.

But May hit a 3 with 28.1 seconds on the clock, Price intercepted a pass

Troy’s Zack Rohr attempts a 3-pointer Tuesday night against Centerville at the Trojan Activities Center. and Troy called timeout with 24.5 seconds left. The Trojan came up empty on three wild 3-point attempts and a jumper, though, and neither side could hit a free throw the rest of the way.

Jackson Replogle led the Elks with 19 points and six rebounds.

“We worked so hard on their offense in practice yesterday, and I thought we were good to go,” Miller said. “But then we started picking up fouls with no rhyme or reason. We can’t have a silly foul here or there — that mounts up.”

Losers of three of their last four, the Trojans remain at home Friday for a rematch against Trotwood — another game the Trojans had foul trouble in. Both teams combined to attempt 83 free throws in the first meeting, a 79-74 Troy victory.

“We’ve had a heck of a stretch this month with nine games — seven on the road — and we just gave up one of our two home games,” Miller said.

“We’ll have our hands full.

We need a more consistent defensive effort on the floor. We’re going to have to be able to get back on defense, find people in transition and make stops.”

Miami East outscored Ft. Loramie 14-6 during Tuesday night’s final eight minutes — including 8-0 in the last two minutes — rallying from a big deficit to grab a slim 49-48 victory, riding strong perimeter shooting to the win.

“We played our best basketball in the last two minutes,” Miami East coach Preston Elifritz said. “We won this one in spite of ourselves. We were just mentally tough and stole it.”

With the Redskins (7-6) focusing on the Vikings’ big, powerful post players, the Miami East guards turned in clutch performances.

Madison Linn led the way with 14 points and Angie Mack and Emily Kindell each added eight.

Linn, Mack and Kindell each hit a pair of 3s to give the Vikings (12-1) the win.

But the Vikings trailed 48-41 with two minutes to play — and didn’t let the Redskins score again. Abby Cash hit a pair of free throws then assisted a Trina Current layup, and

Mack canned a 3 after a Viking steal to tie the game up.

And with seven seconds on the clock, Trina Current drew a foul and hit her second of two free throws to give Miami East the onepoint win.

“Loramie executed a really good gameplan and forced our bigs out,” Elfritz said. “Maddie had a tremendous game and stepped up again tonight, Emily gave us a spark in the second quarter and all eight of Angie’s points were big — but none bigger than those last three.”

Reggie Brandewie led Ft. Loramie with 14 points.

COLUMBUS (AP) — In an otherwise unimportant game in the middle of a long, losing season, the Columbus Blue Jackets chose to see an encouraging sign.

Derek MacKenzie scored 32 seconds into the third period to help the Blue Jackets rally from a two-goal deficit and beat the Edmonton Oilers 4-2 on Tuesday night.

It was the first time this season the Blue

Jackets have come back to win after falling behind 2-0.

The defeat in a matchup of the teams at the bottom of the Western Conference could be particularly costly for the Oilers, who lost Taylor Hall for the game during warm-ups when he collided with a teammate and fell.

Hall was cut above his eye on another teammate’s skate and couldn’t play.

Lee golden in defeat of Cavs CLEVELAND (AP) — Monta Ellis’ jersey was splattered with blood and his nose was cut and swollen.

Golden State’s second straight road win wasn’t painless.

David Lee scored a season-high 29 points 13 in the fourth quarter and Nate Robinson added 17 points, leading the Warriors to a 105-95 win Tuesday night over the road-worn Cleveland Cavaliers.

Lee scored seven straight points midway through the final period to help the Warriors pull away from the Cavs, who looked spent after playing seven straight road games and committed a season-high 25 turnovers.

After losing their first AP PHOTO Cleveland Cavaliers’ Kyrie Irving (2) is fouled by Golden four road games, the State Warriors’ Andris Biedrins in the fourth quarter Warriors, who got only 10 Tuesday in Cleveland. Irving scored 18 points in points from a cold-shooting Cleveland’s 105-95 loss to Golden State.

Eliis, have won two straight

away from home for the first time since 2010 an encouraging sign for first-year coach Mark Jackson.

“That’s what good teams do,” Jackson said. “Despite the adversity, find a way to get it done. Our guys did exactly that. When you compete and defend, you’ll win your share of games in this league.”

Ellis was only 2 of 12 from the floor, but Lee and the other Warriors picked up the scoring slack. Ellis got bloodied in the final minute

by Cleveland’s Anderson Varejao, who accidentally nailed Golden State’s leading scorer in the face with an elbow.

“He’s an absolute gamer,” Jackson said. “He didn’t have a great night offensively, but still battled. He put his face in there, no pun intended, to make a play.

That’s what winners do.”

Ellis was checked by Cleveland’s team doctors.

He said his nose wasn’t broken.

“It wasn’t my night,” Ellis said. “It was David Lee’s night. We needed someone to step up. He can do that every night.”

Antawn Jamison scored 19 and rookie Kyrie Irving had 18 for Cleveland, which has only played four home games. The Cavaliers were sloppy at both ends of the floor, showing fatigue after being on the road for two weeks.

“It was just carelessness,” said Irving, who had eight rebounds and five assists but six turnovers. “But we’re going to continue to get better. Turnovers happened at the wrong times. It was turnover, turnover, turnover.”

Robinson added 10 assists, Andris Biedrins had

11 rebounds and Brandon Rush and rookie Klay Thompson added 14 points apiece for the Warriors.

Thompson made all four 3pointers and Golden State connected on nine 3s.

Golden State trailed 8785 early in the fourth when Lee went to work.

The 6-foot-9 forward scored on a pair of layups, dropped a free throw and then drilled a short jumper from the wing to put Golden State ahead 92-87 with 5:54 left.

“Coach kept calling my number,” Lee said. “I wanted to be aggressive. I was able to get some good looks and take advantage of what we were running.”

Cleveland was only down by five, but it seemed like 15.

The Cavs looked tired, mentally and physically, from their cross-country trip.

Li lost last year’s Australian Open final to Kim Clijsters but rebounded at the subsequent major at Roland Garros to become the first player from China to win a Grand Slam singles title.

Her form dipped, with losses in the second round at Wimbledon and the first round at the U.S. Open, until she returned to Australia.

Coming off a run to the final at last week’s Sydney International, Li is the first woman into the third round.

Li, who will be 30 next month and is seeded No. 5 at Melbourne Park, said she had great memories of the start of 2011.

“I’m feeling always good to come back to Rod Laver Arena,” she said, reflecting on how her life had changed dramatically since last season started. “This year is much better than last year more fans come to watch me play, not only from China but all over the world.”

Clijsters was to play in the following match on Rod Laver.

Serena Williams advanced to the second round in a match that finished after midnight, her ankle holding up to its first test since she sprained it in Brisbane two weeks ago.

The only thing that bugged her, despite the 11:32 p.m. start on Tuesday, were the insects in a 6-3, 6-2 win over Tamira Paszek.

“I hate bugs more than you can imagine,” Williams said. “Like, they kept jumping on me. Yuck!”

Between points, Williams picked up and moved or shooed away bugs that landed on court, and two that landed on her back. A big one gave her a fright, making her hop as she tried to stifle a screech.

“I’m going to request not to play at night anymore because I hate bugs, except for the final. I heard it’s at night,” Williams said. “I’ll try to get used to them.”

Two years after she won her last Australian Open title, Williams extended her winning streak to 15 matches at Melbourne Park in the season’s first major tournament. She won titles in 2009 and 2010 but missed the chance to defend her title last year amid a prolonged injury layoff.

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 day for her is a good day for most kids. She’s pretty consistent. She’s one of those kids that can do all the events really well.”

Several other Trojans put forth great showings at the meet, as senior Moe Ohtsuka shined very bright on Senior Day. She finished 23rd on the floor (8.25), 26th on the bars (7.2), 27th in the vault (7.75) and also placed 49th on the beam (5.85). The senior finished the day 22nd in the allaround with a total score of 29.050.

“Moe had a couple good events for us today,” McCoppin said. “Her allaround performance in all four events is getting better every year we have her.”

On the vault, Lauren Anderson placed 26th (7.75 points), Melissa Short placed 28th (7.725), Madeline Davis finished in 36th (7.5), McKenna Poling placed 42nd (7.375) and Tori Schlarman was 46th (6.75).

On the bars, Short placed 30th (6.9), Poling finished 39th (6.0) and Anderson came in 41st (5.9).

Anderson led Troy on the beam, finishing 21st (7.65), while Short was right behind her in 25th (7.575) and Hansen was 26th (7.55). Schlarman was 34th in the event (7.05), Davis came in 42nd (6.525), Tasha Banks placed 44th (6.35), Jenna Bretland finished 47th (6.05) and Poling came in 48th (6.05).

Anderson also had a strong showing on the floor, finishing 18th (8.3), while Short came in 19th (8.3).

Poling placed 36th in the event (7.85), Brianna Goldberg was 42nd (6.65),

Davis finished 44th (6.5) and Schlarman ended in 45th (6.12).

In the all-around, Short was 17th (30.500 points), Anderson finished 21st (29.600) and Poling placed 26th (27.275).

“Pretty satisfied for this early in the year,” McCoppin said. “I think we have a lot of improvements that we are going to be seeing as the year goes on, but for right now I see good improvements. This was a good test.”

The Trojans finished fifth as a team with a score of 122.65. Winning the meet was Centerville (132.700).

“Usually our goal is to hit 130 (points),” McCoppin said. “We were at almost 123, and that only going to get higher and higher. We finished right in the middle, which is pretty good. Our goal is to finish as high as we can at districts.”

Colts fire Caldwell after 2-14 year INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Jim Caldwell endured everything thrown at him during his first two seasons as the Colts’ coach replacing a friend, constant criticism, even fighting through a huge rash of injuries.

He couldn’t survive the loss of Peyton Manning.

Caldwell became the Colts’ third high-profile dismissal in an offseason purge, getting fired Tuesday after producing the franchise’s worst record in two decades.

“This is obviously a big transitional time for us, and I know we’re excited moving forward and it’s hard when you say goodbyes to some people,” team owner Jim Irsay said. “But it’s part of the business.”

In Indianapolis, it’s been anything but business as usual.

The day after they finished 2-14 and locked up the No. 1 overall draft pick, Irsay fired team vice chairman Bill Polian, the architect of the Colts’ success,

and his son, Chris, the hand-picked general manager.

A nine-day search prompted Irsay to hire 39year-old Ryan Grigson as the replacement last Wednesday.

Since then, Irsay and his new GM have been meeting almost non-stop, debating what tack the team needed to take next bringing in new assistants to fix the problems or making wholesale changes?

Things were so clouded

Monday that Caldwell even met with former Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo about possibly becoming the Colts’ new defensive coordinator. By Tuesday morning, the conventional wisdom in Indy and around league circles was that Caldwell would return.

A few hours later, everything changed as suddenly as the Colts’ 2011 fortunes.

Irsay said he informed Caldwell of the decision shortly before the team confirmed the move.
