Tipp traffic light to stay The people have spoken and the Fourth Street traffic signal will soon be back in action. The signal was under study to determine whether it should be removed or replaced as part of this summer’s downtown reconstruction project. Though the 90day study is incomplete, feedback from residents has been overwhelmingly in favor of keeping the light at the intersection of Fourth and Main Streets. Council discussed the fate of the traffic signal at the March 18 study session and determined that it should stay.

Perfectly Pollyanna Co-op to present musical BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@civitasmedia.com School on the Rock Homeschool Co-op will be producing the uplifting and fun-filled musical “Pollyanna” March 21-23 at First Baptist Church in Vandalia. Show times are 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday and 2 p.m. Saturday, with doors opening one hour prior. Director Amy Fraley said “Pollyanna” was an ideal choice for the musical, given the large number of female performers. “We have a lot of girl this years, and this is a show that showcases many females,” Fraley said. “It’s very feel-good. The audience will enjoy a lot of singing and dancing, and I thought we could have lot of fun with it.” Started about 10 years ago, School on the Rock consists of home-schooled children from about 30 families who meet for classes once a week. About 25 children in grades seven through 12 are participating in the production. The students met every Monday for rehearsal and also practiced one more day during the week, in addition to practicing lines

Teen charged with inducing panic BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com

The 16 year-old male has been charged with inducing panic, a second degree felony due to the threat being 6 74825 22406 6 made on school property, according to

CASSTOWN officials. According to Miami County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Dave Duchak, deputies were dispatched to Miami East High School at 9:27 a.m. when a principal reported a student making verbal threats towards another student to other classmates. “Students came in concerned about a student verbalizing that he wanted to bring a gun to school,” Duchak said.

“There was no weapon found. We talked to the juvenile who said he was just ‘venting’ and was tired of being made fun of by several students, including the one he specifically mentioned.” Duchak said the 16 year-old student claimed he had no intention of acting on the threats. According to witness’ statements, the students were scared for their safety. As the story circulated, the

Upcoming work to improve traffic flow on West Main Street from I-75 through the traffic signal at Meijer was a major topic of discussion at Monday’s council meeting. In response to a question from resident Debra Stichter, Director of Public Service and Safety Patrick Titterington explained that the $465,000 project — with up to 80 percent offset by a grant — includes new traffic and pedestrian signals, cameras, controller boxes and other technology. The design of the project is intended to streamline traffic through the city. “Congestion issues have been a problem — I see everybody’s nodding — for a while,” Titterington said, inferring that council members have firsthand experience with the issue. Council also gave its approval of a resolution in opposition to House Bill 5, which is projected to cost the city of Troy between $750,000 and $1.25 million. The bill addresses the issue of establishing revenueneutral uniformity across the state, but it is actually projected to significantly reduce revenue for municipalities, Titterington has stated. The city of Troy is working with other cities across the state to propose changes to the legislation. Council also approved: • The cleaning of the lime sludge lagoon, one of two in the city, at a budgeted cost of $120,000. • An agreement with Black & Veatch Corporation for a water master plan, with the cost not to exceed $155,000. • Replacing two packer trucks, at a cost of about $300,000, through bidding and entering into a contract. • The final plat of section seven of the Edgewater Subdivision, which includes a few modifications from the preliminary plan, including larger lots to accommodate more three-car garages. During the communications portion of council, Troy Main Street Executive Director Karin Manovich gave an update on plans for the Gentlemen of the Road Stopover tour, slated for Aug. 30-31.

Letter-writing suspect in court Boy, 14, admits to penning threatening message BY JOYELL NEVINS Civitas Media tdneditorial@civitasmedia.com The 14-year-old arrested for writing a threatening note at Tippecanoe Middle School had his adjudicatory hearing Tuesday. Through a slew of testimonies and several exhibits, a portrait was painted of the last two days of the notes, Tuesday, Feb. 19 and Wednesday, Feb. 20. It was determined by both defense and the prosecution that the defendant wrote the note in question. What has been left up to the judge is the intent behind the note — was this just a teenager goofing around, or an action intended to induce panic? Juvenile court prosecutor Rob Long brought in Superintendent Dr. John Kronour, Tippecanoe Middle School teacher Andrea McKinney, Officer Dan Rittenhouse, Tippecanoe Middle Assistant Principal Shane Mead, Tipp City Police Detective Chris Graham and the student who first discovered the note to testify their part in the events. Great detail was given for Tuesday, Feb. 19, the day the first note appeared at the middle school and fourth note total was found (it was stipulated at the beginning of the hearing that events before Feb. 19 were not allowed to be mentioned). In the morning, a bomb threat was discovered written on a boys’ bathroom stall. It was determined by Graham, Mead, Kronour, Assistant Superintendent Dr. Gretta Kumpf and Tippecanoe Middle Principal Greg Southers to evacuate the building and request assistance from WrightPatterson Air Force Base. With the exception of Mead and a janitor, the

City of Troy medics pronounced Jackson dead on the scene. “Our greatest sympathies go out to him, his family and his colleagues at the Miami County Highway Department,” Duchak said. “This was just a tragic accident.”

• CONTINUED FROM 1 expansion of EdChoice school vouchers. Governor John Kasich wants to expand the vouchers to all public school students to attend private or charter schools, not just under performing school districts in mainly urban areas. “It’s often those types of schools aren’t playing on an even playing field — we have the hoops, hurdles,” Rappold said. Board member Mark Davis proposed to have the letter added to the agenda for the next board meeting. Rappold also updated the board about the proposed armed volunteer security officer. Board member Davis said he received a letter from a community member who was in favor of the measure. Other members did not say what feedback they have received in regards to several community members who were former law enforcement officer, who have volunteered to provide the school district an armed security force. Rappold said many steps were needed to be in place before such a program would be considered to be implemented. Rappold said he has discussed many

options with Miami County Sheriff ’s Chief Deputy Dave Duchak on the phone. One option Rappold said the district may consider in the near future would involve partnering with the sheriff ’s department to provide an outpost for road deputies to complete their narratives and data entry at one of the school buildings. Duchak confirmed that the sheriff ’s office is looking to increase its presence in county school districts without a school resource officer. Road deputies now are required to check in at local county schools once a day during their shifts. Rappold said more input from the community and law enforcement was still being cultivated and other factors remained uncertain such as liability insurance and other initiatives. The board also accepted two letters of retirement. Miami East High School Principal Tim Williams will retire on June 1 after 19 years of service in the district. Many board members thanked Williams for his service as principal and mentor to students over the years. The board also accepted Patty Taynor’s letter of retirement effective June 1. Taynor served as a cafeteria employee for more than 26 years. “This is what makes Miami East so special,” Davis said. “Patty is a member of the community, she goes to all the sporting events and we certainly thank her for all her years

of service.” The board approved David Heffelfinger as a high school Title I intervention tutor effective March 4. Heffelfinger will help students in areas such as reading and writing to prepare for state tests. The position is paid for with federal Title I grants. The board approved the 2013-2014 interdistrict open enrollment policy. Applications will be available April and May only. Applications are only accepted from residents of school districts which border Miami East. In other news: The board approved the 2013-2014 extra-curricular transportation fee policy. For high school and middle school participants, it’s $55 per activity. An individual student cap for athletics will be $110 and a family cop will be $220 for the year. The board approved to reduce the fee from $110 per activity last year. A $25 fee is required for choir ensemble and Muse Machine is capped at $25 with a $10 per performance fee. The board approved a memorandum of understanding for the supplemental positions and step pay update. Seven positions have been unfilled for several years were eliminated and current positions were adjusted to reflect the step increases from the eliminated positions. Rappold said with the adjustments the step pay remains flat with a $0 increase for the supplemental positions.

Rappold said the district will wait until the sheriff’s office is done with its investigation to determine what punishment the school district will hand out to the student who made the verbal threats. “We take it very seriously,” Rappold said. No date has been set for the 16 year-old boy to appear in Miami County juvenile court for the second degree felony of inducing panic at press time.

pointed out, there was no reference to what “it” was. Once again, calls were made to the police and school administration and the same players got involved. This time, Mead was able to narrow down the suspects to one. The cafeteria tables were washed off the day before at lunch, and the remaining study halls held few or no students largely due to parents signing them out. The eighth period teacher was able to identify the one student who sat at that particular table. Before issuing another evacuation or calling in the dogs, Mead and Graham determined Mead should question that student, the now-defendant. The seventh grader was brought to the office, shown an intent-to-suspend form, and told there was another threat found. “‘I would never do that’,” Mead said the student repeatedly said. Mead later explained the student was referring to an actual act of violence, not the note. Mead said once he laid out the process of elimination used to determine the student sitting before him and told the student he would help him but he had to be honest with Mead, the seventh grader confessed. “He looked right at me and said ‘I did it,’” Mead said. The student wrote a statement saying “I admit to writing a threat in the cafeteria.” Later, in a written statement for the Tipp police, the student also wrote it was a “dumb choice” and “I don’t know why I would write something like this, but I do admit writing it.” Mead stressed that the student was “very respectful” and “cooperative” during the whole proceedings.

entire school population was evacuated at approximately 9 a.m. to L.T. Ball Intermediate while the bomb dogs sniffed “everywhere the students had access,” according to Mead. While huddled in the gym at L.T. Ball, Kronour told students there was a bomb threat, dogs were being brought in, and the school “was not going to tolerate these threats,” Kronour said. He added that he informed the students that once the perpetrator was caught, “we will move forward with the fullest extension of the law” and school punishment allowed. Any note writer was given a one-day reprieve to turn themselves in and face suspension rather than expulsion. The defendant was in the assembly, although lawyer Andrew Wannamaker asserted that just because he was sitting in the gym doesn’t mean he heard or was paying attention to Kronour. Once the bomb squad had cleared the building, students were allowed back in and a One Call Now was issued. A large group of parents came to pick their students up immediately, leaving the remaining classes sparse. The defendant remained at school for the rest of the day. The next morning, a student in second period study hall, which is held in the cafeteria, discovered another note “while wiping the dirt off of the table.” The note was written in gray graphite pencil, according to Rittenhouse, and read “This is a real threat. It will happen tomorrow at 11:30 a.m.” (with “threat” and “tomorrow” spelled incorrectly). As Wannamaker

Library acquires large print books WEST MILTON — The West Milton Public Library recently received a large donation of large print books from patrons’ estates. Most of the new large print books are slightly older titles and will not be placed on the New Fiction shelves. Instead, adult fiction specialist Kim Brubaker is placing them on the shelves in the large print section of the library with red and blue new stickers on them so patrons who prefer large print books will have the opportunity to see all of the new additions.

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

AS I SEE IT

China needs to limit population TAYLOR WELCH Edison State Community College English Student Many people know about China’s One Child Policy. Couples in China are only allowed to have one child due to overpopulation. Many people think that this law is unethical, not right — how can the government force a family to only have one child? People think that our country is overpopulated now. Experts say that there’s not much room left in our country for our rapidly increasing population. China came across this problem many years ago. Its government knew that it had a problem with its population; it couldn’t make its citizens leave the country to go find somewhere else to live to make room their growing population, so it came up with the only logical plan of action; it decided to slow down the increase of its population and the only way it could do that was to limit the amount of babies being born into the country. Every couple is only allowed to have one child. There are some loopholes to the law, though; usually families that live in rural areas are allowed to have more than one child in order to have help on the farm. Also, in some situations, couples are allowed to have another child if their first child is a girl — families would rather have boys because men take care of their parents when they get older and provide for the family financially. If the couple happens to have twins, the couple isn’t expected to pick one baby over the other, so they keep both. As you can see, the one-child policy isn’t as harsh as most people think of it. China has no other choice. They have an overpopulated country; the only choice it has is to limit the growth of its population. There have been some laws passed to help improve the one child policy. For example, women are only allowed to get ultrasounds done to check on the health of the baby; they are not allowed to find out the gender of the baby. The government found out that women were having ultrasounds done to figure out if their baby was a boy and if it wasn’t, they aborted the baby because they wanted to have a boy. Many foreigners to China don’t understand how China can have this policy to limit the amount of children brought into this world in this country. With overpopulation comes shortage of food, water, shelter, jobs … everything. If China kept letting its people reproduce at the rapid rate they were, eventually there would not be enough food to feed all of the new babies being born. If China didn’t change its ways, there would not be enough homes for families to live to bring home their new baby. More and more families would become homeless. As you can see, China’s government is doing its people a favor. If the government wouldn’t have changed its ways, the people of China would be in some of the worst financial situations of their life. China had to put this policy into place to protect its people. Most would think that if a couple is in a bad financial situation they would take precautions to make sure that they didn’t have kids. Who would want to bring a baby into the world when you are homeless and can’t provide for yourselves, let alone a baby? Some people don’t have that much common sense. They would have as many babies as they please. They would bring them into this world and not have food or a home for them. If China didn’t change, it could have had a spike in infant deaths due to improper living conditions. The one child policy is not as bad as most people think. The government does what it does to keep its people safe, to keep the government stable and running. I would only hope that our country would realize when they need to make changes to help our country and do the things China has done to save its population.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP London Evening Standard on Falkland Islands referendum: The outcome of the March 11 referendum in the Falkland Islands was never in doubt: as it turns out, 99.8 per cent of islanders voted to remain British, with just three people voting against. Nor does the vote have any legal force. Still, it sends an important message at a time when Argentina has been renewing its claim to the islands, almost 31 years after the Falklands War: the

islanders want to remain British and do not want to be part of Argentina. The impact on the islands’ status is likely to be negligible, given that Argentina had already refused to recognize the referendum and the British government had no intention of giving them up anyway. But the vote does affirm the crucial principle of self-determination. For Argentina to take control of the islands in the foreseeable future would make a mockery

of that principle; this would not serve the islanders’ wishes. Whatever the emotional significance that the islands have assumed in Argentina — their recovery is enshrined in its constitution, despite Argentina having owned the islands only for a few years in the early 19th century — any sensible Argentine politician should surely accept that the nation has more pressing problems to confront. The Falklands wish to remain British: we should leave the matter there.

My futile search for more organization in my life Keeping my personal belongings neat and tidy has never been my strong suit. It’s not that I live in a pigsty or anything, but I adhere to more of an “organized clutter” mindset. In fact, if I do painstakingly organize my belongings, I can’t find anything! It might seem contradictory, but I actually do believe everything has its rightful place — but this place varies from time to time. And you won’t find it arranged by color in a Container Store box (though I certainly admire people who do). You also won’t find all similar things grouped together. I know some people claim that being relatively “messy” means being literally “a mess.” All joking aside, I don’t find this to be true for myself. (Better not be!) I tend to agree more with Albert Einstein’s philosophy of, “If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?” Clearly I’m just a multifaceted person. My deal is I’m a craft lover, so I like STUFF. I have old knitting projects, friendship bracelet

Natalie Knoth Troy Daily News Columnist thread kits, ginormous bow headbands, lots of costume jewelry and other knickknacks that I very rarely use. Yet I can’t even imagine parting with them, because you never know when you’ll want to pass the time on a lazy afternoon knitting, or when you’ll need a crazy accessory for a themed party, right? I also attach sentimental value to many things. I have a shadow box in my room where I keep little keepsakes like souvenirs and my grandma’s old perfume bottle, which still smells just like her. My desk also is overflowing with pictures from vacations, parties, family outings and much more. I wish I could be

one of those people who chronicle their life in a scrapbook, but I don’t have the discipline — nor talent — for that. Too much work. Plus, I’m too indecisive to pick pictures and themes and stickers, etc. Every so often — usually after reading Real Simple or Martha Stewart or Oprah magazines — I have the urge to buy some of those clear containers and drawers to once and for all organize things. Recently I was at Target deliberating on which of the gazillions of organizational units I should choose. There were clear under-the-bed storage units, tall stands with drawers, giant baskets with compartments and many more options. I think I stood there for about 10 minutes before deciding on one of the clear containers. But then, after perusing the entire store, I got so overwhelmed thinking about what exactly I would put in that container. There’s only so much room! I thought. How will I choose which stuff to move, and then what will I do with the previous home for those things?

And what if the dang thing doesn’t even fit underneath my bed? Maybe I should choose the free-standing unit instead? Or go with something made of opaque fabric instead of plastic, so then people can’t see what’s inside? Or maybe I should save up my money to buy a jewelry box instead? Decisions, decisions! Clearly, I was not ready to make the commitment of buying an organizational unit. Not to mention it sure would be a pain to have to lug that thing back to the store if I didn’t want it. Who has the time for that? And so back on the shelf it went. I guess I’ve learned that I’ll probably never have the ambition nor vision to organize a space, utilizing every nook and cranny to its highest potential. But I will, however, have a spectacular collection of keepsakes to pass down for generations to come. My only goal now will be to keep the dust bunnies away. I think I can handle that.

Lavy plans to attend Wilmington College where she will study agricultural business, animal science. In her application Lavy said, “As a farmer’s daughter of seven, I grew up in a small agricultural community. I have had a lot of exposure to agriculture, through riding in the tractor when I was just a few months old to driving a tractor and living on a productive family farm. I was greatly involved in the Junior Fair board and 4-H at my local county fair. These experiences have taught me many life lessons such as responsibility, time management, and strong morals. Through these I have developed a passion for agriculture, which sparked my interest in pursuing a degree in agriculture. This matured and prepared me for the real world. I’m anxious to begin my agricultural career. My career goals include finding a job that fits my lifestyle, supports me and makes me happy. I have a burning desire to enhance farming customs and continue to do my part in feeding the world.” She is captain of both her school’s varsity soccer team and varsity basketball team, she is vice president of her local Future Farmers of America chapter and a member of the Cross County Conference Academic Team.

Air filters: for your vehicle’s health as well as your own One important element is often forgotten during do-it-yourself car maintenance: air filters. Not to be neglected, changing them regularly improves the health of your vehicle as well as your own. FOR YOUR VEHICLE Your car engine needs fresh, clean air. That is why its engine is equipped with a filter specifically designed to prevent different particles from entering the combustion chamber. To be able to function properly, an engine needs the right mix of air and fuel. Dirty air will alter the efficiency of the engine and could cause damage. In addition, dirty air filters increase gas consumption. Check your owner’s manual to find out when this filter should be changed. If you usually drive in heavy traffic or on dusty roads, it

would be to your advantage to have it checked very often. FOR YOUR HEALTH The importance of having a clean car cabin air filter cannot be stressed enough. The air coming into the area where you sit can be up to six times more polluted than outside air. The filter that needs to be checked is usually located behind the glove compartment and only takes a few minutes of your time to replace. Once again, you should refer to the owner’s manual to learn how to proceed. Experts recommend that this filter be replaced at least once a year to prevent it from becoming clogged. As well as improving air quality inside your car, your air conditioning and ventilation systems will operate much more efficiently.

Car maintenance: a year-round contract

It is a proven fact that a good maintenance routine prolongs the life of your car. But what does regular maintenance really entail? What needs to be checked and when? Following are some guidelines that will help you set up a good maintenance schedule for your vehicle. First of all, it’s a good idea to plan a fixed schedule and to list everything that needs to be checked on a monthly, three-monthly, or biannual basis. For example, it is advisable to carry out a monthly check of tire pressure, oil and liquid coolant levels, and belts and lines.

The last two things should be checked carefully to ensure that no cracks have appeared. Of course, if there are signs of wear, they must be replaced immediately. Experts recommend changing the engine oil and checking the battery connections for signs of corrosion every three months. You should also check the other liquid levels at this time (brakes, transmission, power steering, and windshield washer fluids). Once every six months you should change your windshield wiper blades, check the condition of your tires, and ensure that your

Properly inflated tires: a question of safety

Your tires have just been changed and you’re ready to hit the road in total safety. Good for you! But did you take the time to check the air pressure in each of your tires? This is one of those little things that we all know we should do but never get around to. Yet taking a moment to do it is one of the most important elements of road safety that a driver can do. Maintaining the correct air pressure in your tires is as crucial as having the engine maintained on a regular basis. It has even been proven that it is more economical in the long run to check air pressure than to maintain your car’s engine in perfect running order! Why is that? Proper air pressure reduces wear on the tire’s tread, substantially reduces gas consumption, and improves the road holding capabilities of your car, which reduces your risk of having an accident. ONCE A MONTH Tire pressure should be checked once a month. It is also recommended that tire pressure be checked when tires are rotated or during oil changes or randomly, when you fill up at the gas station. It is also important to check the pressure in the spare tire. After all, you don’t want It has even been proven that checking air it to be unusable just when you really need it. pressure regularly will help you save Refer to the manufacturer’s owner’s manual to find out the tire pressure money in the long term. recommended for your vehicle.

It’s fine to do some of your own car maintenance, but don’t forget to follow a fixed schedule.

spare tire is adequately inflated, which is something that is often forgotten. Another often forgotten thing to do is make sure that headlights, brake lights, and signal lights are working well. A biannual check should also be made of shock absorbers, muffler, and for wear in the braking system.

Please try to forgive your mom for her outburst

Today: 5 p.m.: Miami Valley Community Calendar 6 p.m.: Ultimate Sports 8 p.m.: Legislative Update

Dear Annie: I am a teenager in the northwest. Recently, I contracted a kidney infection that was painful and needed treatment. I didn't know what I had and wasn't familiar with the symptoms, so the only thing I said to my parents was that I didn't feel well. After a few days, it got so bad that I had to go to the emergency room. I was given a prescription and healed, but the hospital bill was $600. When the bill came, my mother read me the riot act for costing her so much. She told me I should have said something earlier and saved them some money. That was true, and I apologized. But the impression I got is that my health is not worth that much money to her. I've never had a good relationship with my mother, but this stung. Why would she insinuate such a thing? What should I do? — Not as Pretty as a Penny Dear Penny: We don't think your mother meant to imply that your health is not worth $600. Have you ever seen a parent yell at a toddler for running into the street? It's not out of anger. It's because they were worried to death by what might have happened. We think this was your mother's reaction. Your illness turned out to be curable, but it could have been something far worse. Becoming angry at the bill was emotionally safer than facing her fears of losing you altogether. Please forgive her outburst. Dear Annie: I was married for 47 years to a man who did not want me making friends outside his family. Unfortunately, his family didn't much care for me. I acquiesced to his wishes (prewomen's rights). When he died, I tried volunteering in order to make friends, but I guess I am programmed to push people away. I correspond via email with a few folks, but no one wants to take the friendship further. I let my son have my house and moved back to my hometown into a retirement place that my son convinced me would be beneficial. But they sold him a bill of goods about the activities here. There are none. No one wants to be friends. They say good morning, but even my invites go unanswered. I would like to move, but I can't afford it, and no one will help me pack up. People are full of suggestions — go to the mall, go to church. (I tried that, filled out a visitor card and never heard from them.) I'll be 70 soon, and I feel life isn't worth living if I have to be alone. — Florida Dear Florida: You sound terribly depressed, and this may be part of the reason you have trouble making friends. People are attracted to those who are upbeat and energetic, and those traits are difficult for you to display when you feel so low. Talk to your doctor about an antidepressant. Ask someone in charge whether you could help organize a group outing, perhaps to a movie or a play. Do some volunteer work where your help will be appreciated and you can spend time getting to know others and practicing your social skills. You've spent years being "programmed" to push people away. Attracting them won't happen overnight. Consider yourself a work in progress. Dear Annie: This is in reply to "A Long-Term Care Employee," who admonished families for not bringing new clothing to nursing home residents. There is another factor at play here: dementia. My mother wears the same clothes over and over. She has new clothes in her closet. She doesn't recognize them and thinks they are someone else's clothes. I have tried to remove the most worn items, but she stands over me and says, "No, I wear that." This perceived problem is not always what it seems to be. — Kentucky Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Hearty soup recipe calls for a helper Dear Heloise: Winter seems to call for a hearty soup. I use orzo, quick barley or mini gnocchi to thicken soups. They are a nice change from adding instant potatoes. — Mary in New Mexico Mary, thanks for the hint! Your suggestions are perfect as a quick substitute rather than the old standbys! By adding any of the ingredients you listed, you can control the amount of liquid in the soup and make it heartier. Soups make such great economical meals, which is why I collected my favorite soup recipes and put them in my Heloise’s Spectacular Soups pamphlet. To receive one, you just need to send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (66

Hints from Heloise Columnist cents) envelope to: Heloise/Soup, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. To save money, instead of using meat (as a protein) in soup, replace with beans, dried peas or lentils. Open a can of beans, rinse well with water, drain and add to the pot. — Heloise

BREADCRUMBS Dear Heloise: I hear a lot about panko breadcrumbs and notice them more often in the stores. How are they used in cooking? — Betty S., via email Panko breadcrumbs can be used just like ordinary breadcrumbs. Add to meatloaf, crab cakes or meatballs as a binding agent, or use as a topping on your favorite casseroles or soup. Finally, of course, use to coat foods like chicken or fish. Panko (Japanese for “breadcrumbs”) is made from special bread that has no crust. Because of the delicate texture, they are very crisp, and are lighter than ordinary breadcrumbs.

Most panko is unseasoned, so you can add your own spices and flavors to what you are cooking. Go ahead and give them a try! — Heloise FRIED DRESSING Dear Heloise: There wasn’t enough space in my oven, and my slow cooker did not work when I was making turkey dressing. Guests were arriving, and I came up with this hint: I took my frying pan out and sprayed it with oil. I placed the homemade dressing in the pan, turning it often while frying until it was nice and brown. Guests said the dressing was delicious, and nobody knew the difference. — Patsy W. in Colorado

HOROSCOPE

SNUFFY SMITH

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Thursday, March 21, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today fair Venus moves into your sign to stay for three weeks. This increases your desire to relate to others and paves the way for good times with friends and partners. Enjoy! TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Solitude in beautiful surroundings will please you in the next few weeks. You also might feel more inclined to put your needs and wants second to those of others. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) In the next several weeks, friends could become lovers, and lovers can become friends. It’s a good time to party with pals and enjoy all groups and gatherings. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Some of you might develop a crush on your boss in the next several weeks. Whatever happens, you’ll create a wonderful impression on others, especially bosses. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Because your appreciation of beauty is heightened in the next month, visit beautiful places, parks, museums and art galleries. Travel for pleasure also will delight. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Intimate relations will become cozier during the next month. Many of you will benefit from the wealth and resources of others. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Friendships and close partnerships will become more loving and affectionate in the next few weeks. (It will be easier for you to understand what others want.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Relations with co-workers can improve in the next few weeks. Not only that, your health can improve as well. Yay! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You’ll find it easy to relate to children during the next several weeks. Partly, this is because you are more attracted to creative activities, the kind of thing kids love to do all the time. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Entertain at home in the next few weeks. Enjoy redecorating or making where you live look more attractive. Be on the lookout for real-estate deals as well. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) For different reasons, you will find that you will appreciate the beauty of your surroundings more in the next few weeks. You might even discover that there is more love in your life than you thought. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Expect to be spending money on beautiful things for yourself and loved ones in the next few weeks. This is also an easier time to borrow money from others. YOU BORN TODAY You can be a dreamer and a visionary, but you’re also hardworking. You often are misunderstood, because you march to the beat of your own drum. You don’t worry about trying to please others. Your confidence is quiet, but you often express your energy quite physically. In the year ahead, an important personal decision will arise — choose wisely. Birthdate of: Matthew Broderick, actor; Rani Mukerji, actress; Rosie O’Donnell, comedian/actress.

Edge-of-your-seat excitement. Nail-biting suspense. And just a hint of controversy. The closing seconds of Troy Christian’s 51-49 victory over Delphos St. John’s Friday in the Division IV regional championship game at Fairmont High School’s Trent Arena had everything. “It was movie material,” said Troy Christian sophomore Grant Zawadzki, whose free throws with three seconds remaining broke up

TROY a tie game and gave the Eagles the win. “We score with three seconds left, they barely miss a halfcourt shot at the buzzer and the whole place goes nuts. It was a great feeling.” But for Troy Christian to even be in the situation with a chance to win, it took big plays from everyone, too. From nine third-quarter points by Nathan Kirkpatrick after the Eagles trailed by 10 at 32-22, to jumpers by Christian Salazar and drives by Spencer Thomas to give Troy Christian a

commanding lead, to a clutch bucket by Logan George after the Blue Jays had regained the edge, to a steal by Holden Varvel that led to the game-tying free throw by Zawadzki, to a lengthy battle for a defensive rebound won by Thomas to give the Eagles the chance to break the tie, every possession was important — and every member of Eagle Nation signed his name to the win. “It was phenomenal,” Varvel said. “It’s one of the best wins I’ve ever been a part of. Even when we were down by 10, we never let up.”

DAYTON (AP) — After more than 30 years of trying, North Carolina A&T finally has an NCAA win. To do it, the Aggies had to survive one last, harrowing, close call. Substitute guard Jeremy Underwood tripled his average with 19 points, leading the Aggies (20-16) past resilient Liberty 7372 on Tuesday at the First Four to win their first NCAA tournament game after nine losses. The victory advanced the Aggies to a showdown with topseeded Louisville (29-5) in Lexington, Ky., Thursday. “It’s been a long time,” firstyear Aggies coach Cy Alexander said. It could have been pushed back even longer. The Flames (15-21) only the second team ever to make the NCAA tournament with 20 losses had a chance to win it in the final seconds. John Caleb Sanders drove coast to coast and flipped up a left-handed layup in heavy congestion that just glanced off the glass. “I knew he was going to go to the rim, and I just wanted to play off of him,” A&T defensive star Austin Witter said. “I just tried to keep my hands back, and use my length to alter the shot. I believe I got a little piece of it, but I’m not really sure. “I think I did just enough to get it off.” Sanders was trying to draw a foul as much as make the frantic shot. “We’ve had a lot of late-game situations similar to that, and Coach (Dale Layer) has always said to take it to the rim,” Sanders said. “They took away my right hand, so I went left and tried to get to the basket, and it just didn’t fall for me.” Asked if he was fouled on the play, he hesitated and then said, “I don’t know. It’s hard to tell when you’re in the midst of a game. They didn’t call it. So it wasn’t a foul.” A&T rebounded and, while Sanders rolled in pain on the baseline, began to celebrate a Cinderella season of its own. The Aggies had a losing record before starting play in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference tournament. Four wins later, they were back in the big dance, putting an end to a string of 15 consecutive losing seasons.

Robert Morris stuns Kentucky, 59-57 MOON, Pa. (AP) — Mike McFadden hit two free throws with 8.7 seconds remaining and Robert Morris shocked defending national champion Kentucky 59-57 in the opening round of the NIT on Tuesday night. The Wildcats decided not to call timeout after the second free throw but Kyle Wiltjer’s 3-pointer before the buzzer bounced harmlessly off the rim, sending hundreds of students onto the court as Robert Morris ruined

Kentucky coach John Calipari’s homecoming. Lucky Jones led the Colonials (24-10) with 15 points but was ejected for a flagrant foul on Archie Goodwin with 3:41 to play. Kentucky, which trailed by 13 in the second half, managed to tie it twice but could never grab the lead. Goodwin scored 18 points for the Wildcats but couldn’t stop Kentucky’s disappointing season come to a stunning end.

The victory was validation for the Colonials, who won the Northeastern Conference regular season title with ease but were upset in the conference tournament. The loss relegated the school to the NIT, but it hardly felt like a letdown in perhaps the biggest win in the program’s history. “I know they were disappointed not to get to NCAA tournament. This is a memory they’ll get for rest of their lives.” Robert

Morris coach Andy Toole said in the giddy aftermath. Robert Morris will advance to the second round, while Kentucky’s injury-marred underachieving year came to a merciful end. The Wildcats were never the same after center Nerlens Noel went down with a devastating knee injury. Kentucky dropped six of its final 10 games, the last one coming in

The quest for 33

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 whirlwind,” Troy Christian coach Ray Zawadzki said. “I mean, winning and all the time you put in to get there, you get like 12 hours to celebrate and enjoy it, then you’re off to the Schottenstein Center for a huge meeting and a packet of information that’s got your head spinning. “At the same time, you also have to try to focus on your next opponent and keep the kids grounded. It’s quite a challenge, but overall, you can’t ask for anything better. Not just for the kids, but for the school.” This team has rewritten the Troy Christian record books on its way to a state berth. Among its laundry list of accomplishments include the school’s first wins over Miami East, Franklin Monroe, Houston, Fort Loramie and TriVillage. The Eagles also beat Jefferson for the first time in coach Zawadzki’s tenure on their way to a Division IV sectional title. This team has scored the most points in school history, they have made the most 3-pointers and broke a single game record with 12 against Emmanuel Christian. Troy Christian has made the most free throws, had the highest percentage at the stripe, the most rebounds in a season, the most steals and assists. They also had the most consecutive wins in a season, the highest 2-point percentage for a game (19 for 22) against Fort Loramie in the district title game and the largest average margin of victory for a season (16.2). Senior Christian Salazar will end his career as the record holder for most rebounds in a game (20), most rebounds in season (262) and most rebounds in a career. Point guard Grant Zawadzki recorded the most points in a game (36) and most steals in a game (10) against Mississinawa Valley. The mark of 10 steals in a game ranks 23rd in state history. The sophomore also got the school record with 10 assists versus Houston. Senior Nathan Kirkpatrick is the leader for most career steals. Yet, even with a record of 24-2 going into regional, many considered Troy Christian an underdog, having to get through the undefeated, top-ranked team in the state Tri-Village to start

things off in the semifinal. If they won that, the Eagles would have to get by either Shelby County League powerhouse Jackson Center or Delphos St. Johns, which has appeared in 11 state tournaments in its history. But the Eagles never doubted themselves. To open regional play, they avenged a 16-point loss from earlier in the season by outlasting Tri-Village in overtime. “When we came into that game, I don’t really think there was one person with a doubt we were going to win that game,” Salazar said. “We knew we were going to win it when we were coming in. They thought they were going to walk all over us, so I think that motivated us in a way.” Then Troy Christian faced a tall task against the Midwest Athletic Conference’s Delphos St. Johns, a team that had beaten St. Henry in the district final and Jackson Center in the regional semi. The Eagles trailed by 10 in the third quarter, but responded with a big run to get back in the game. Grant Zawadzki went 2 for 3 at the foul line in the closing seconds to secure Troy Christian a spot in the Final Four. “This was our goal. All season, our goal has been to make it to Columbus,” Kirkpatrick said. Now that they have arrived, the Eagles will face possibly the toughest test of the year against the highflying Cleveland Villa Angela Saint Joseph, a team that outscored its two regional opponents, 179106. “We’ve heard all the hype around them. We’ve all watched the YouTube videos, so we’ve put that in the back of our heads, but we look past it,” Salazar said. “They’re not going to be able to do that against every team they play. I know they’ve play teams like Northland, but coach Z has played Dunbar in the regular season with Tipp. They handled it well, ended up beating them. We know we can beat them, we just have to come out and stay focused.” The Vikings will be making their 12th state appearance. As for the Eagles, they will be trying to accomplish another first with a win in Columbus.

Heat’s path to NBA wins record goes to Cleveland By the Associated Press LeBron James and the Miami Heat are about to play another game in Cleveland. Yawn. That’s what a 23-game winning streak will do for a team. It mutes even the LeBron-Goes-Home-Again hype. Someday the Heat will lose another basketball game. Maybe even Wednesday, when the reigning NBA champions drop by James’ old neighborhood to take on James’ old team, which happens to be decimated by injuries right now. Still, could happen. Almost did in Boston on Monday night, save for James’ game-winning jumper in the final seconds after Miami rallied from 17and 13-point deficits to squeak past the Celtics 105-103. But given how they wrapped up their latest “W” and what lies ahead, it may no longer be farfetched to think that the record of 33 straight victories set by the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers is within Miami’s grasp. “It means a lot,” James said after the Boston game. “I know the history of the game. To be sitting in second place right now … for us to be there and doing it in the way we want to do it, it means a lot.” It also means a lot that Miami won’t be visiting many playoff-bound teams any time soon.

So, grab some popcorn and some pop and settle in to watch where this remarkable run ends up. Here’s a breakdown of the the next few steps along the potential Road to 34: • At Cleveland (22-45) While it will surely be emotional after all, James is coming home, again Miami would have to simply lay an egg to lose today. The Cavs are incredibly banged up and out of the playoff race. Kyrie Irving is out, Anderson Varejao’s season is over and on Tuesday, Cleveland revealed that guard Dion Waiters may need surgery to repair a problem in his left knee. Yes, the Cavaliers nearly knocked off the Heat in Miami on Feb. 24, but

Waiters and Irving combined for 43 points in that upset bid. They’ll combine for zero today. Heat victory odds: Excellent. • Detroit (23-46), Friday Miami has lost one game at home since midDecember and returns to face a Pistons team that has currently lost nine straight games. Brandon Knight is hurting, and probably still reeling from that DeAndre Jordan dunk incident when he was plowed over in the lane against the Los Angeles Clippers. If there’s a silver lining for the Pistons right now, what James did to Boston’s Jason Terry on a dunk Monday night may have ensured what happened to Knight becomes a distant

memory. Heat victory odds: Excellent. • Charlotte (15-52), Sunday The worst team in the NBA. Name five Bobcats. OK, name three Bobcats. Unless Michael Jordan himself plays … Heat victory odds: Above excellent. • At Orlando (18-49), March 25 Here’s the first real potential for a slip-up. The Heat are 2-0 against the Magic this season, those two wins coming by a combined THREE points. And it’s on the road, in a back-toback scenario. Miami has excelled on the second night of back-to-backs all year, but the Magic always get riled up for the Heat. Heat victory odds: Average.

free throws to tie the game with 5.7 seconds left, Pointer raced down the court and hit a jumper at the buzzer to send St. John’s to a 63-61 come-from-behind win over the Hawks. Maryland 86, Niagra 70 COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Nick Faust had 15 points

and 11 rebounds, and Maryland used a strong second half to defeat Niagara 86-70 in the NIT. The Terrapins would have preferred their first postseason appearance since 2010 be in the NCAA tournament, but that doesn’t mean they’re not motivated to win the NIT.

Finish Ohio AG: threats against rape victim must be stopped COLUMBUS (AP) — A girl who was raped by two high school football players is being victimized by threats against her on Twitter, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said Tuesday as he demanded an end to such postings. Two girls, 15 and 16, were accused of posting the tweets Sunday following the conviction and sentencing of two boys for raping the 16year-old West Virginia girl after an alcoholfueled party. The older girl was charged with aggravated menacing for a tweet that threatened homicide and said “you ripped my family apart,” according to the attorney general’s office. The girl is a cousin of defendant Ma’Lik Richmond, attorney general spokesman Dan Tierney said. A Twitter message from the younger girl threatened the accuser with bodily harm, leading to a menacing charge, DeWine’s office said. One of the messages was later reposted on Facebook. Such threats have to end, DeWine said. “People have the right to express their point of view, and they have the right to be stupid, and they have the right to be wrong, but they don’t have the right under Ohio law to threaten to kill someone,” he said. This is not the first time the girl and her family have been threatened through social media, DeWine said. “What’s sad particularly to me is that the victim has had to go through the rape, the aftermath of the rape, the trial, and she continues to be victimized on the social media,” he said. The girl, who had been drinking heavily, has no memory of the attack. One of the ways she learned that something had happened to her was by viewing parts of a 12-minute YouTube video filmed the night of the attack in which students made crude jokes about her. The two girls were charged Tuesday with intimidation of a victim, telecommunications harassment and aggravated menacing. They were being held in the Jefferson County juvenile detention center without bond, as is cus-

tomary with juveniles, said Jefferson County assistant prosecutor Sam Pate. They would face up to six years in prison if convicted as adults, but it’s likely they would be treated as juveniles. That means they could be detained up until their 21st birthdays, if convicted. The rape case brought international attention to the small city of 18,000 and led to allegations of a cover-up to protect the Steubenville High School football team. Richmond and Trent Mays were charged with penetrating the West Virginia girl with their fingers, first in the back seat of a moving car after a mostly underage drinking party in August, and then in the basement of a house. Mays, 17, and Richmond, 16, were sentenced to at least a year in juvenile prison for the rapes. Mays was ordered to serve an additional year for photographing the underage girl naked. They can be held until they turn 21. Special Judge Thomas Lipps recommended the boys be assigned to Lighthouse Youth Center-Paint Creek in Chillicothe, which he said has a strong program for treating juvenile sex offenders. The privately operated center is “staffsecure,” according to the Department of Youth Services, meaning it’s an open campus where staff members rely on their relationship with residents to prevent escapes. Staff and children live together at the facility, which has shown success in keeping teens treated there from committing new crimes, said Renee Hagan, juvenile justice division director for Lighthouse Youth Services. “We form good relationships with kids so they want to buy what we’re selling,” Hagan said Tuesday. A grand jury will meet in April to consider charges against anyone who failed to speak up after the Aug. 11 attack. That group could include other teens, parents, school officials and coaches for the high school’s beloved football team, which has won nine state championships.

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 “It just feels great, with the atmosphere and knowing that the pressure was on,” George said. “You have to be at your very best on every play. It makes it so much more real — every play is do or die. It’s so much more fun.” Even players that were on the bench felt the excitement, though. “We’re going at these guys hard in practice every day, so for us to succeed as a team and to see them succeed, it’s definitely awesome,” said Aaron Horn. Horn was the first player on the floor after the buzzer had sounded, tackling Zawadzki from behind in celebration. “We (Horn and Zawadzki) partner up and do a lot of things in practice. Just to know that all of the hard work we all put in paid off, it means a lot.” But Horn was followed closely by the rest of the team — including starters that had to sit with foul trouble. “That was probably the fastest I’ve ever ran in my life (rushing the court off the bench at the end),” Thomas said. “Everyone was getting tackled in a huge pile.” After George’s basket with 2:30 to play gave the Eagles a 48-47 lead, immediately Delphos retook a one-point lead and got a stop on the defensive end. But Varvel won a scramble for a ball that had been knocked loose by Zawadzki, and Zawadzki hit a free throw to tie it at 49-49. “Coach (Ray Zawadzki) emphasized before the game that the 50-50 loose balls, every one of them was important,” Varvel said. “In the first half, we didn’t do as good a job on them, so at halftime he told us we had to do better — and we did.” And after a Blue Jay miss on the other end, Thomas tapped the ball around along with a pair of Delphos players and scrambled for a good five seconds before finally outhustling and outmuscling them to the ball, giving possession to the Eagles with less than two minutes to play. “Coach said we had to get the 50-50s, so I knew I had to do everything I could to get it,” Thomas said. “I knew there wasn’t much time left, and I knew we’d get a good last shot. I had to get strong and help us come away with something.” Which is exactly what they ended up playing for. “I had a play called with 1:47 left, but Delphos stopped it so we backed it out and called another — but I noticed something,” Ray Zawadzki said. “Both teams were exhausted. So I was very happy to just let our kids rest and hold it for the last shot. I trust my team, so I didn’t call timeout — if I did that, Delphos may have changed defenses entirely. “I knew we had to have Christian (Salazar) get a screen on Grant’s defender, and as the play developed Grant came off of that screen — and Christian nailed it. Grant was square to the hoop and open to fire, and then a Delphos player was in a

It was a late call, though. I went up, got hit and didn’t hear the whistle. I was like, are you serious?” “Because the ball went straight up in the air, that’s why the foul was called,” Ray Zawadzki said. “If it had gone forward towards the basket at all, I honestly believe it wouldn’t have been. “It’s ironic, because in 2006 in that overtime game against New Albany while I was an assistant at Tippecanoe, there was a charging call — that the refs did make — that took away what would have been a game-winning basket for us. These referees do a great job. I wouldn’t want their job, but I certainly have a lot of respect for them and the way they do it.” That gave Grant Zawadzki three free throws in a 49-49 game with three seconds on the clock, with a state tournament berth on the line. “I was very confident in that moment,” Ray Zawadzki said. “I’ve seen him put a lot of time and repetition into shooting over the years, so I wasn’t nervous at all. I was already coaching a play ahead, as if he’d already made all three of them.” “I’ve shot so many free
