Calls show residents panic Calls from confused and worried residents poured into Colorado sheriff’s dispatchers for hours last week as a wildfire spread rapidly toward dozens of homes, with one caller expressing disbelief when told that the wind-fueled blaze was a “controlled burn.” That caller, Sam Lucas, and his wife were later found dead in their burned home — one of more than two dozen damaged or destroyed by the fire after it erupted March 26 south of Denver. Authorities believe they also found the remains of another woman, Ann Appel, in her burned house.

PLEASANT HILL

On Monday morning, the Miami County Sheriff ’s Office detectives received information from the Clark County Sheriff’s Office of two potential suspects in residential burglaries in Miami and Clark counties. Miami County detectives put the information out to deputies and several other law enforcement agencies within Miami County,

according to Chief Deputy Dave Duchak. In the early afternoon, deputies located the suspects in a black 1997 Jeep and stopped the vehicles on two traffic infractions in the area of State Route 718 and Wilson Road. Deputies made contact with the two, Sean D. Honaker, 19, of

Pleasant Hill, and Stephen M. Burghy II, 29, of Pleasant Hill, who matched the information previously put out by the Clark County Sheriff’s Office, Duchak said. Two large screen TV’s in plain view were observed in the passenger compartment of the vehicle. Both subjects were taken into

City of Troy project manager Stan Kegley asked permission to place one or two signs requesting that visitors at Treasure Island Park not feed waterfowl. “We’ve all seen the old signs ‘Please don’t feed the animals,’ but I don’t think people respond to that very well,’” Kegley said. Based off those he saw at another park, the proposed signs would state the downsides of feeding the waterfowl, such as birds losing their natural instinct to find food as well as overcrowding, which can lead to deadly disease for the animals. Kegley also raised the issue of removing steel in two locations, a field in Duke Park and another off

(AP) — DALLAS Tornadoes raked the Dallas area Tuesday, crumbling a wing of a nursing home, peeling roofs from dozens of homes and spiraling big-rig trailers into the air like footballs. More than a dozen injuries were reported. Overturned cars left streets unnavigable and flattened trucks clogged highway shoulders. Preliminary estimates were that six to 12 twisters had touched down in North Texas, senior National Weather Service meteorologist Eric Martello said. But firm numbers would only come after survey teams checked damage Wednesday, he said. In suburban Dallas, Lancaster police officer Paul Beck said 10 people were injured, two of them severely. Three people were injured in Arlington, including two residents of a nursing home who were taken to a hospital with minor injuries after swirling winds clipped the building, city assistant fire chief Jim Self said. “Of course the windows were flying out, and my sister is paralyzed, so I had to get someone to help me get her in a wheelchair to get her out of the room,” said Joy Johnston, who was visiting her 79-year-old sister at the Green Oaks Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. “It was terribly loud.” Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport canceled hundreds of flights and diverted others heading its way. Among the most stunning video was an industrial section of Dallas, where rows of empty tractor-trailers crumpled like soda

Boards meet to discuss signs, rates BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@tdnpublishing.com

TROY

Placing signs at Treasure Island Park and offering new rates at Miami Shores Golf Course were among several topics for discussion at the joint Board of Park Commissioners and Recreation Board meeting April 3. Troy Recreation Director Ken Siler outlined upcoming Hobart Arena events, including the Chris Tomlin Contemporary Christian concert slated for June 14. “We fully anticipate that show will sell out,” said Siler, adding that a total of 3,000 tickets are available for the show. Ken Green, director of golf at Miami Shores Golf Course, shared

his plans to get “lapsed” players back in the game and encourage new players to participate. He recommended creating a Family Golf Night in which golf is played in a more relaxed setting at reduced rates. In a typical round, newcomers can feel discouraged, he said, because “it’s too hard to get on, too serious, and not fun enough.” He also proposed reducing the price to play at 1 p.m. — when many other golf courses do — instead of at 3 p.m. The time would likely draw more golfers, Green said. The board adopted both recommendations.

Neal Brother’s Classified Advertising: Inc.’s application was amended to (877) 844-8385 include a street light assesment if the city requests one in the future of the agriculture district’s fiveyear application. Neal said he sent an email to all 6 74825 22406 6

TROY city staff and council members, which included the Ohio Department of Agriculture Farmland Preservation Act’s definition of an agriculture district, prior to Monday’s meeting. Neal argued the Ohio Department of Agriculture Farmland Preservation provides protection for farmers for nuisance laws, scrutiny of eminent domain acquisitions and deferring assessments. Neal quoted the Farmland Preservation act’s deferring assessments as follows: “Another aspect of development that can impact a farm is the extension of of water, sewer and electric lines.”

Neal said in his email to the legislative body of the city of Troy that the Ohio Department of Agriculture Farmland Preservation “does not discuss street lighting.” At the law and ordinance committee meeting on March 26, city’s law director James Livingston advised that he felt street lighting fit the intent of providing electricity, thus the agriculture district’s applications can be modified to allow a possible assessment if the city council approves one in the future. Also, according to the minutes of law and ordinance committee meeting on March 26, “members of council and the city’s public safety and service director Patrick

Titterington stated the city has not made the determination to have a street lighting assessment and if such an assessment is established, it has not been determined how that would be calculated.” At Monday’s meeting, Neal said he feels like he is being asked to “sign a blank check,” because the city has not yet determined how the street light assessment will be calculated. At the March 26 meeting, law and ordinance committee member Lynne Snee said she felt a per parcel fee would be the fair way to charge for a street lighting assessment. No other comment was made about how the city may

Romney sweeps three primaries, tightens grip MILWAUKEE (AP) Mitt Romney tightened his grip on the Republican presidential nomination Tuesday night, sweeping primaries in Wisconsin, Maryland and Washington D.C., with time left over to swap charges with President Barack Obama. “Four more years?” Romney asked sarcastically of the president as supporters cheered him in Milwaukee. He said Obama was “a little out of touch” after spending four years surrounded by the trappings of power and had presided over ROMNEY near-record job losses as well as increases in poverty, home foreclosures, government debt and gasoline prices. The victories enabled Romney to pad his alreadywide delegate lead over Republican rival Rick Santorum, who flashed defiance in the face of pressure to abandon his own candidacy in the name of party unity. Wisconsin was the marquee contest of the night, the only place of the three on the ballot where Santorum mounted a significant effort. Returns from 15 percent of the state’s precincts showed Romney with 43 percent of the vote to 38 percent for Santorum, 11 percent for Ron Paul and 6 percent for Newt Gingrich.

Returns from 25 percent of Maryland’s precincts showed Romney with 48 percent of the vote to 30 percent for Santorum, 11 percent for Gingrich and 9 percent for Ron Paul. With 43 percent precincts counted in Washington, Romney had 68 percent of the vote to 13 percent for Paul and 11 percent for Gingrich. Santorum was not on the ballot. “‘We won ‘em all,” he declared. Romney won at least 74 delegates in the three races, with 21 yet to be allocated. That pushed his total to 646 of the 1,144 needed to clinch the nomination. Santorum has 272 delegates, Gingrich 135 and Paul 51. Interviews with voters leaving Republican polling places in Maryland and Wisconsin showed an electorate more concerned with a candidate’s ability to ability to defeat Obama than with the strength of his conservatism, his moral character or his stand on the issues. Similar soundings in earlier states have consistently worked to Romney’s advantage. Voters in both states were less apt to be born again or evangelical Christians than in most previous contests 34 percent in Wisconsin and 32 percent in Maryland. Based on earlier contests, that, too, suggested an advantage for

• CONTINUED FROM A1 determine how a possible street lighting assessment would be calculated in the future. “Interesting, the writings specifically states water, sewer and electric lines,” Neal said in the email. “The question that begs to be asked is what is the city’s law director/city manager using for their criteria for their interpretation on the wording electric can mean street lights? The Ohio Department of Agriculture is the State of Ohio’s legislative body that formulated this Farmland Preservation Act. It is very concerning to me that the City of Troy’s law director/city manager can make an interpretation of a law in the Ohio Revised Code when the intent of the Ohio Department of Agriculture Farmland Preservation defines water, sewer and electric lines.” Neal said he contacted state representative Richard Adams about his concerns. The Neal Brother’s Inc.’s reapplication’s resolution will go to a second reading with the remainder of the council members voting “yes” for the modification and councilman Bobby Phillips, opposed it. Phillips, along with councilwoman Robin Oda, also voted “no” to amended Neal’s application at the March 5 city council meeting. On Monday, Phillips said he opposes the modifi-

April is the peak of the tornado season that runs from March until June. Bishop said Tuesday’s storms suggest that “we’re on pace to be above normal.” Johnston said her sister was taken to the hospital because of her delicate health. Another resident at the nursing home, Louella Curtis, 92, said workers

roused her out of bed and put her in the hall. “The hallways were all jammed,” Johnston said. “Everyone was trying to help each other to make a path for others. I’d say everybody was out of their rooms within 20 minutes.” Most of Dallas was spared the full wrath of the storm. Yet in Lancaster, television helicopters panned over exposed homes without roofs and flattened buildings. Broken sheets of plywood blanketed lawns and covered rooftops. A pastor at one Lancaster church saw debris swirling in the wind, then herded more than 30 children, some as young as newborns, into a windowless room to ride out the storm.

cation of Neal Brother’s Inc. reapplication for agriculture district and said, “there was no need to address this.” “We’re asking for a lot of headache with the farmers for a small potential assessment,” Phillips said after the meeting Monday. “This is something that did not need to be modified.” At the city council meeting, the EMARC reapplication (Sheafer Family Partnership) was adopted with the street light assessment modification included in the agriculture reapplication’s resolution. In prior meetings, owner Evelyn Sheafer opposed the amended application which included the street light assessment for 83.13 acres located on Washington Road. At the March 19 city council meeting, Sheafer’s attorney, Ohio Farm Bureau’s Larry Gearhardt said the agriculture district is to help protect farm land from assessments. At the meeting on March 19, Sheafer said she would have preferred her agriculture district application be approved as it had in the past without any modification but understood “she may not really have any choice.” All members present at the council meeting Monday approved the adoption of Sheafer’s reapexcept for plication, Phillips’ “no” vote. Phillips said he opposed the modification for the same reasons he opposes the modification of the Neal Farms Inc. reapplication.

Romney. Increasingly, Romney and many senior figures in his party have begun behaving as if the primaries are an afterthought, hoping to pivot to the fall campaign and criticism of Obama. “He gets full credit or blame for what’s happened in this economy and what’s happened to gasoline prices under his watch and what’s happened to our schools and what’s happened to our military forces,” Romney said of the president while campaigning in Waukesha, Wis. Obama said things could be worse and predicted they would be if Romney and Republicans got their way. In a speech to the annual meeting of The Associated Press, he said a Housepassed budget written by Republicans was “antithetical to our entire history as a land of opportunity and upward mobility for everybody who’s willing to work for it … It is a prescription for decline.” When he wasn’t focusing his rhetoric on Obama, Romney prodded Santorum to quit the race, suggesting a refusal to do so could cost the party the election in November. “The right thing for us, I think, is to get a nominee as soon as we can and be able to focus on Barack Obama,” Romney said in an interview with Fox News. “You have to remember that it was Ross Perot that allowed Bill Clinton to win” in 1992, he added, a reference to the Texan who ran as an independent that year. Santorum, in his home state of Pennsylvania, took note of the calls for him to exit the race. “Ladies and gentleman, Pennsylvania and half the other people in this country have yet to be heard, and we’re going to go out and campaign here and across this nation to make sure that their voices are heard in the next few months.”

Tipp council formalizes deal with Abbott BY CECILIA FOX For the Troy Daily News editorial@tdnpublishing.com

TIPP CITY

With five related items on the agenda, the construction of the new Abbott Nutrition manufacturing plant dominated Monday night’s Tipp City Council meeting. Council voted unanimously on a resolution formalizing the agreement between the city and Abbott Laboratories. As part of the agreement, the city will be responsible for the construction of a new road—to be called Abbott Park Way— and the extension of utilities to the site. “On behalf of the search team who spent 10 months, we’re really excited to conclude the search and truly go about

the building of this facility,” said Dale Johnson, Vice President of State Government Affairs for Abbott Laboratories. Abbott Laboratories will be investing $270 million in the project, which will create 240 jobs. The estimated cost to the city, including the new road, extending the utilities, and waiving inspection fees, is approximately $1.2 million. Because the facility will generate more than one million dollars in annual payroll, the city is required to share 50 percent of the local income tax generated by the facility with the school district. Representatives from Abbott Laboratories attended the

meeting, outlining their aggressive construction and FDA approval schedules and presenting their plans for the new facility to the council. State Senator Bill Beagle also attended to thank Abbott executives for their investment in the area. “We are very, very excited to be building this plant here in Tipp City. I drove my team to find the most efficient, economical, cost-competitive location because we are competing globally,” said Executive Vice President of Supply John Ginascol. Construction on the new facility will begin immediately on a 60 acre site on CR 25-A. Abbott representatives expect the facility to be completed, FDA certified, and begin production in 18 months. The Tipp

City facility will be Abbott’s seventh site in the U.S and the first new U.S. plant since 1983. “Historically it would take us three years to build a plant of this complexity and bring it online,” said Ginascol. The new site, when completed, is expected to the most high tech facility of its kind in the United States. “We estimate that this plant will utilize approximately 12 percent less energy than a similar liquids manufacturing plant that we have elsewhere in the United States.” According to Ginascol, this plant will save enough electricity to fuel 330 homes in Tipp City year round. “You’ll find us around the world to be a good neighbor and a good corporate citizen,” said Vice President of U.S. Nutrition

Scott White. Another resolution formalized the agreement between the city, Lesher Farms, and Abbott Labs for the use of 136 acres of land. The new manufacturing facility will utilize 60 acres and Lesher Farms will donate 3.62 acres to the city to be used as right-of-way for the construction of the new road. This resolution also allows for the subdivision of the rest of the property into four lots for future projects. “We’re hopeful that we’ll be able to attract either complimentary businesses to the Abbott facility or some other businesses that will realize that Abbott has selected this site as a good business to do business,” said City Manager Jon Crusey.

“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 Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle on campaign finance: Super PACs have become this year’s super-villains. Thanks to a 2010 U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowing them, “super” political action committees that are independent but support certain candidates can raise unlimited amounts of money — and individuals are allowed to give unlimited amounts to them. Technically, the Super PACs aren’t allowed to coordinate their activities with the candidates they support. But it’s naive to think they would ignore a candidate’s wishes. The public, though, is deadly serious about wanting Super PACs banned, by a margin of nearly 70 percent in an ABC News/Washington Post poll — an astounding consensus crossing party lines. We do wonder how one goes about banning Super PACs under the First Amendment.

The refusal to honor those obligations is bad enough, but the denial of the right to sue adds further injury. It violates a principle that every American considers a fundamental birthright — the ability to go to court to seek redress of a legitimate grievance. This unusual provision was part of an agreement to create the International Commission on Holocaust Era Insurance Claims, which came into being in 1998 with the blessing of the Clinton administration. The agreement has been upheld by the courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, and strongly defended by both the Bush and Obama administrations down to the present day. But that doesn’t make it right. Holocaust survivors — an aging and diminishing population, many in their 80s and 90s — have not been treated fairly. The International Commission on Holocaust Era Insurance Claims paid out about $305 million, and an additional $200 million went to humanitarian programs for survivors. This is less than 3 percent of the amount owed to victims and their families — estimated today at $20 billion. Recently, a bipartisan effort led by Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, RMiami, was unanimously approved by the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, which she heads. The bill should be passed by Congress and signed by the president, to redress a grievous harm and serve as a reminder that it’s wrong to deny legal rights to an entire class of citizens and should never be tolerated.

Cemetery needs better upkeep To the Editor: Maintenance at the Troy Riverside Cemetery has gone downhill since the loss of Mr. Deeter. Cement steps at the entrance to the mausoleum need replaced and have for

some time. The roof on the mausoleum needs repaired. The handrail is loose at the steps next to the Riverside entrance of the cemetery. Bushes at the headstones need trimmed or removed — the responsibility of the families. They never should have been allowed in the first place. Trimming around headstones could be improved.

Mowing operators on zero-turn machines could slow down so as not to hit headstones or bend over military flag holders. I could go on, but enough said. Council and supervisors, correct the situations. There are others. Thank you.

DOONESBURY

Take a chance and step out into the unknown The unknown, the unbeaten path and excitement mixed with anticipation fuel a lot of what I do when I go out for fun. The other day Key and I decided we wanted to spend the afternoon figuring out an old 35mm camera his grandma gave him awhile back. He said he tried to use it once before but didn't really know how to use it so none of the pictures turned out. Being the photo obsessed snapper I am, I tapped into my photojournalism classes and my very first 35mm dark room lessons I learned way back when. We went to the store, bought a roll of black and white film and headed home. We realized that nothing would work because of an old battery, so back to the store we went. Once we had everything in working order and we got the film loaded (a process not many youngsters know still exists) we headed out to a local spot to snap some photos to see what we would come up with. The entire day was filled with so much excitement. We knew what we saw in the finder, and we knew what we wanted. Not knowing

Katie Yantis Troy Daily News Columnist whether it was going to be exactly that was exciting. The process was refreshing instead of infuriating as most people would assume it would be to not be able to automatically look down at a screen and immediately see the image you shot. The gratification of getting a quality photo after a whole development process is so much better. I know that in the photo world today we have the multiple shot capabilities and the shutter speeds are mind-blowing fast. But let me tell you, the sound of a 35mm shutter going off is like pure bliss. It's a sound that cannot compare to anything in the world, and even Key, who is not a photographer, got a smile on his face after his first click. The entire afternoon was filled

— Nelson Frantz Troy

with so much excitement. We took pictures of a waterfall, the river, flowers, ourselves and some things in the backyard. We didn't know which ones we would get and which ones we wouldn't — or if we were going to get any of them back at all. We took them to the store to get developed and fiddled for the next hour as we recalled our afternoon. I forgot how great the whole process of waiting for your cherished photos is. When we went to pick them up they actually had a package for us, which meant we were at least getting some of the images back. Score! As we went through the pictures, the adventure was a complete success. We didn't get them all back, but we got 17 out of 24, so we did pretty well. We had a few that could have been exposed a little bit differently, so we are taking notes and going out for another adventure. The day was incredible and, as I mentioned, not knowing the outcome was great. We are surrounded by a society that is filled with the need for immediate gratification, immediate results and immediate responses. Taking a step away from all of that

and stepping into the unknown was, and is, refreshing and rejuvenating. Try it, if you haven't for awhile, step into a blast from the past. When is the last time you went somewhere you haven’t been? Go on a hike somewhere you haven't and don't know the path. Go grab a disposable camera and go on an adventure with someone for the day or go to a new restaurant. As I ran with a new friend the other day. She quoted a saying she heard; “To get results you’ve never had, you have to do things you’ve never done.” Get out of the rut. Get out of the known and go play. It makes life fun, it makes life exciting and it makes the results more meaningful when you take the time to do something that takes some effort, takes time and you don't automatically see a result. Who knows, if you walk or run somewhere different you may meet someone special, you may see a new landscape or you may even find a new favorite place you will enjoy to visit for years to come.

URBANA (AP) — A landlord who found a woman’s dismembered remains in her bathtub said he felt compelled to break into the locked bathroom after her mother came looking for her. Gary Zerkle told The Associated Press that 21year-old Jessica Sacco’s mother arrived at the younger woman’s Urbana home Thursday night, finding nothing amiss, but a locked bathroom door. The following morning, Zerkle, who lives next door to the duplex Sacco rented, decided to check it out himself, largely because Sacco’s mother had looked so concerned. “I didn’t think that was right,” he said of the locked bathroom door. “Sometimes you get a gut feeling.” He removed the doorknob and pried open the door. Once in, he looked behind the shower curtain. “I pulled it back, and that was it,” he said. “And I zoomed out the front door. … I was trying to gasp for air.” Shuddering, he said he can’t describe what he found. “All I could think about was the sadness for her

Workers clean out a home Tuesday, April 3, where 21year-old Jessica Rae Sacco was killed Friday in Urbana. mother,” he said. Sacco, who police say moved to the area from California about a year ago, paid $360 per month to stay in the duplex, Zerkle said. Her on-again, off-again boyfriend had joined her in the apartment in the fall. Shortly thereafter, Andrew and Kandis Forney, of Fenton, Mich., began staying with them. The boyfriend, Matthew Puccio, has been charged with murder and other counts in Sacco’s slaying and dismemberment. The Forneys and another couple, Christopher Wright and Sharon Cook, of Urbana, are also charged. Police say the couples watched as Puccio stabbed Sacco, then placed a bag over her head and suffocated her. One of the men is accused of helping with the dismemberment. Some of the body parts were found miles away in Kentucky. Puccio was arraigned Tuesday and is being held

on $100,000 bond. The other four defendants also have been arraigned and are being held on bonds of $50,000 each. Telephone messages seeking comment were left for their attorneys on Tuesday. Urbana police Chief Matt Lingrell has said that Puccio and Sacco had recently met the Forneys online and that the members of the group were “loose friends.” Investigators haven’t commented on a motive for the killing, believed to have happened around March 22. Sacco’s mother went to her home after failing to reach her via cellphone for about a week, Zerkle said. He was having the house emptied and the bathroom gutted on Tuesday by a crew that wore white protective gear and facemasks and placed items in a large refuse container. “I can’t go in there thinking about what happened,” he said.

Do some research before you make a decision

Today: 5 p.m.: Community Bulletin Board 6 p.m.: Around Troy 6:30 p.m.: Health and Home

Dear Annie: I'm writing this from a friend's computer so my wife won't find out. "Lizzie" and I are in our late 20s. She has an older sister and two adopted siblings, both of whom are developmentally disabled. One has Down syndrome, but he is capable of living independently. The other, however, is the size of a grown woman, but she can neither walk nor speak. She must be cared for like an infant. When we married, Lizzie told me that someday her adoptive siblings would live in a group home. Now that her mother is in poor health, she says she intends to have both of them live with us. Lizzie's biological sister is married with kids and acts as if her adoptive siblings don't exist. I asked my sister-in-law if she and her husband would take in the developmentally disabled sister, and she said no. When I asked why she was so cold toward her adoptive siblings, she said, "They were my parents' project, not mine." So now I'm stuck. I want kids of our own, but it will be impossible to care for an infant and a "grown infant" at the same time, and even Lizzie agrees. And if we place the siblings in a home, we'll still have to help pay for it, and her parents didn't provide much. There's no way we could afford it. I love my wife, but there are some things I am not willing to do. A therapist told me I have to decide for myself. Please help. — Need Another Opinion Dear Need: This is an enormous responsibility, and we understand it's not what you signed up for. Before rejecting both the obligation and your marriage, however, please do some research. The siblings may be eligible for government assistance. Your sister-in-law may be willing to contribute financially to their care. Also, please check online or call 211 to find local support groups for caregivers of those with developmental disabilities and see what resources exist in your area. Armed with good information, you can then discuss it honestly and compassionately with Lizzie. Dear Annie: I have a co-worker who constantly yells at everyone. She gossips and complains about other co-workers all the time. When someone makes a mistake, she makes fun of them. A few people have quit because of her. Customers have complained about her rudeness and how she screams at her co-workers. We have brought this up to our boss and his supervisor, but they say, "Well, that's just how she is." I'm tired of it, and so is everyone else. But when I tried to get people to register a complaint as a group, no one would man up because they are all afraid the co-worker will find out. Then, if nothing happens, she will make our lives hell. What's our next step? — It's No Fun Here Dear No Fun: If you cannot get the office staff to register a group complaint and management refuses to intervene, your choice is to put up with this annoying co-worker or leave. We are surprised the bosses don't care if good employees quit and clients complain, but if that's their position, there's not much recourse unless you can go directly to the owner of the company. We recommend it. Dear Annie: "Mad in Omaha" should report her niece and nephew to the police. They have committed felonies by pawning Grandma's jewelry and forging her name to steal money from her bank account to pay for drugs. She also needs to advise the police that Grandma is afraid of these people and may be being abused in other ways. Making a police report is the best way to protect Grandma and also get these young criminals under the supervision of a criminal justice agency that will make them get treatment for their addiction and, hopefully, become responsible citizens. — A Probation Officer Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Here’s a few hints for the perfect Easter egg hunt Dear Readers: Here are some Heloise helpful hints if you will be “hiding” eggs for Easter: • Have each child pick a specific color. When hunting eggs, the children can pick up only their color. • Try using a muffin pan when dyeing eggs. Each cup has a designated color, and hopefully you won’t spill dye versus using individual cups. • Make sure to refrigerate hard-cooked eggs right after the hunt if you are not going to eat them right away. Note: The safe time frame is one hour in warm weather and two hours at “room” tempera-

Hints from Heloise Columnist ture. • If using plastic eggs, try adding other surprises besides candy, like coins, sweet notes or coupons for rewards. • Take a count of the number of eggs before you hide them. That way, you know if all have been found! You don’t

want to run the lawn mower over one later on! — Heloise ICED LEMON Dear Heloise: I buy two lemons at a time because they usually are “two-for.” I cut them into wedges, freeze on a pie plate and put in a plastic bag. I can thaw out as much as I want. Microwaving makes them easier to juice. The counter method leaves them firmer to serve at the table. — Norma, via email COOKING BACON Dear Heloise: Here is something I really like: To bake bacon, put the strips on a cookie sheet.

Turn the oven to 250 degrees and bake to whatever crispness you like. It takes only a few minutes, you don’t need to cover it, and it will not splatter in your oven — hence, no cleanup. — V.H. in Plymouth, Ind. Using the oven to cook bacon is a good way to cook a lot and get the desired crispness. However, you should cook it at a higher temperature (400 degrees for at least 15 minutes) to be sure that it is fully cooked. Once cooked, dry on paper towels and serve or store for later use. — Heloise

HOROSCOPE Wednesday, April 4, 2012 You have the same potential as anyone else to make a number of solid achievements in the year ahead. However, in order to do so, some of your methods and tactics might have to be revised a bit. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — There is an abundance of opportunities around you, but unless something in particular interests you, you’re likely to ignore them all. Don’t let this be a do-nothing day. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Although you have an abundance of friends with whom to share the day, there is likely to be one ineffective acquaintance who will serve as a detractor. Don’t let him or her spoil the fun. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — If you find yourself devoting too much time to trivial activities, put a stop to it as early in the day as you can. Once you get in gear, you can accomplish all your big objectives. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Even if your reasoning skills aren’t as sharp as they usually are, you’ll still be alert enough to get a reasonable amount done, and in a successful manner. It should be a decent day for you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Your chances for generating substantial material returns are excellent but, of course, it will be up to you to actually do so. Don’t just talk a good game, jump in and play. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Others will verify that you’re the one who is making a major contribution to a joint endeavor, yet you won’t see it. That’s OK, as long as your partner recognizes it and appreciates what you do. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Trust your luck, because developments over which you seem to have little control will be the ones that shower you with the largest rewards. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Avail yourself of a new organization or club that will give you a chance to mingle and meet with a number of influential people. Some of these big shots could become your buddies. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — When it comes to career-related issues, don’t hide your light under a bushel. If you believe that you have a constructive idea to contribute, make your concept known. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Whether or not you believe your social life is at a high point, there are some strong indicators that it is about to get even better. Someone fascinating and dynamic is about to enter the scene. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — A transformation that you’ve been wishing would take place is about to happen. It will not only benefit you, but your loved ones or a close buddy as well. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — You might have a hard time believing it, but if you stand back a minute you would see that it is not only the other fella who is getting all the concessions, it’s you too.

Calls show residents panicked over wildfire ordering residents to evacuate was sent at 5:05 p.m., but it went to the wrong list of phone numbers, sheriff’s spokesman Mark Techmeyer said Tuesday. “It was way too large geographically,” Techmeyer said, adding that he had no other details. “It went out wrong,” Techmeyer said Tuesday. “That was a user error on our end.” That call was halted, and a new round of calls was started at 5:23 p.m., he said. Sheriff’s officials have said Lucas and his wife, Linda, got a call, but it wasn’t immediately clear when. Officials first AP PHOTO said Appel also got a call but later One home stands untouched at left while another home at right smolders after burnbacked off, saying they werent’ sure. FirstCall Network Inc., which pro- ing in the Lower North Fork Wildfire in the foothills community of Conifer, Colo., vides the county’s automated phone call southwest of Denver on Tuesday, March 27. system, said the first round of calls went to anyone who had signed up for the service on a county website, whether or not they lived in the evacuation area. FirstCall logged slightly different times for the erroneous call — 4:50 p.m. — and for the start of the second round of calls, 5:16 p.m. FirstCall’s president, Matthew Teague, said the corrected calls went to 1,089 phone numbers in six waves, the last one starting at 9:14 p.m. Teague said 12 busy signals were detected and 32 calls weren’t answered. Another 90 calls went to numbers that had been disconnected or were not set up to receive voice calls. In each case, the system made three attempts to call those numbers, he said. Intermountain Rural Electric Association, which provides power to the area, cut off the electricity at about 8 p.m., spokesman Mike Kopp said. That could have rendered some 810 S.

DENVER (AP) — Calls from confused and worried residents poured into Colorado sheriff’s dispatchers for hours last week as a wildfire spread rapidly toward dozens of homes, with one caller expressing disbelief when told that the wind-fueled blaze was a “controlled burn.” That caller, Sam Lucas, and his wife were later found dead in their burned home — one of more than two dozen damaged or destroyed by the fire after it erupted March 26 south of Denver. Authorities believe they also found the remains of another woman, Ann Appel, in her burned house. “We got 79-mile-an-hour winds out there and they got a controlled burn?” Lucas said on the 911 call, which was released Tuesday by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department along with some 130 other calls made in response to the fire. “Yeah,” the dispatcher replied, saying the Colorado State Forest Service was on the scene. The recordings released by sheriff’s officials indicate other residents also were told the fire they saw that afternoon was a controlled burn and they had nothing to worry about. The blaze blackened 6 square miles and was blamed on a prescribed burn conducted four days earlier that reignited amid high winds. It was not fully contained until Monday, a full week after it burned out of control. As the fire spread, the calls to the sheriff’s dispatch last week grew more frequent and panicked when both residents and dispatchers realized they were facing a dangerous wildfire that wasn’t fully contained. Meanwhile, evacuation orders were sent in error to homes that weren’t in the fire’s path. The first wave of automated calls

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

Devils handle Cougars Staff Reports Tippecanoe continued its roll Tuesday Even if it did hit its first speed bump. The Red Devils picked up their biggest win of the young season Tuesday, sweeping the singles spots and defeating Central Buckeye Conference rival Kenton Ridge 4-1 in the first of two meetings between the teams — two meetings that, in all likelihood, will decide the CBC champion. “The first time around last year, we lost to them (Kenton Ridge) 32,” Tippecanoe coach Von Clendenen said. “This time around, we’ve got the upper hand.”

Troy’s Nathan Helke followed through on a swing Monday during a 10-1 victory over Sidney Monday at Market Street Field. The Trojans finished off the sweep with an 8-0 victory Tuesday at Sidney.

No more questions Trojans sweep Jackets to start division play Staff Reports TROY — Troy’s pitching can’t be questioned anymore. The Trojans gave up a combined one run and seven hits over the course of a two-game series with Sidney to open Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division play, knocking off the Yellowjackets 10-1 Monday and blanking them 8-0 Tuesday.

The running joke all season was that Kentucky was good enough to beat some NBA teams. Say, maybe the Toronto Raptors. Farfetched? Probably. But with that stable of pros-in-waiting, one thing seemed certain: The Wildcats were the team to beat in college basketball. See Page A16.

Troy’s Ben Langdon fields the ball and throws a Sidney runner out at first Monday at Market Street Field.

Trojans at-bats against him,” Welker said. “We saw a lot of pitches, drew some walks, got his pitch count up — and he couldn’t go past the fifth. “We left a lot of guys on early, and no one could get the big hit. It wasn’t our best offensive performance. But we turned it on late.” The Troy offense had it going from the start at home on Monday, though, posting three in the first inning and never looking back. Jordan Guillozet was 3 for 3 with a home run and four RBIs, and Nathan Helke stayed hot, going 2 for 3 with a homer, RBIs three and two runs scored. Dylan

In fact, the Indians didn’t strike out or walk in the game, constantly putting the ball in play. “We were just hitting the ball really well.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Danny Green wasn’t looking for vengeance or payback on the Cavaliers. He got some anyway. Green scored 19 points against a Cleveland team that released him last season, Tony Parker added 19 and the San Antonio Spurs coasted to their eighth straight win, 125-90 over the lifeless Cavs, who have lost eight in a row and were blown out at home again. Green played his rookie season for Cleveland, which cut him at the end of training camp in 2011. He’s found a new home with the Spurs, who built a 22-point lead in the first half and rested Parker, Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili for most of the fourth quarter while pushing their lead to 37. Rookie Kyrie Irving scored 13 points for the Cavs in his return after missing one game with a sprained

right shoulder. But even with their best player back, Cleveland dropped its eighth straight and followed up a 37-point loss at home to Milwaukee with a 35-point setback. Coach Byron Scott fears his team may have given up. “I worry more when me as a coach and my coaching staff want it more than my players. That’s when I start to worry,” Scott said. “And I’m getting worried.” Antawn Jamison had 15 points for the Cavs, who have dropped 17 of 21 and lost their past seven by an average of 22.3 points. Cleveland has now lost home games by 39, 37 and 35 points this season. “We gotta turn it up as best we can,” said Irving, who played with a protective brace on his shoulder. “What it boils down to is we just have to go out there and play.”

Kentucky players celebrate at the end of the NCAA championship game against Kansas Monday in New Orleans. Kentucky won 67-59.

Won-and-done Wildcats win NCAA title NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The running joke all season was that Kentucky was good enough to beat some NBA teams. Say, maybe the Toronto Raptors. Farfetched? Probably. But with that stable of pros-in-waiting, one thing seemed certain: The Wildcats were the team to beat in college basketball. Capping a season that had a feeling of inevitability, Kentucky finished with a flourish, beating Kansas 67-59 in the NCAA championship game Monday night. OK, so maybe it was the last time we’ll see many of those future millionaires in blue and white. At least they’ll go out as heroes after bringing home an eighth national championship to Big Blue and giving John Calipari the one missing piece to his resume. “We were the best team,” Calipari said. “I wanted this to be one for the ages.” Calipari has had a knack for luring the nation’s best recruits to Lexington, never worrying about whether they’d stick around. This year’s bouncylegged bunch was impressive even by his standards. Led by everybody’s player of the year Anthony Davis, these fast-tracked Wildcats raced past nearly everyone who got in their

way. Davis, Michael KiddGilchrist, Doron Lamb, Darius Miller, Terrence Jones, Marquis Teague Coach Cal had a team of ringers and he, along with everyone else, knew it. Who’s No. 2 seemed to be the only question left. Kentucky lost just twice during the season: on a buzzer-beater by Indiana and to Vanderbilt in the SEC tournament in New Orleans, where Commodores big man Festus Ezeli pushed the Wildcats around. The Vandy loss seemed to serve the Wildcats well, giving them a not-so-subtle reminder they still have to play, that this was no divine-right coronation. The message clearly came through. In a blue blood matchup with Kansas in Monday’s championship game — save for a slight stumble near the finish as Kansas closed to within five after trailing by 18 — the Wildcats rolled to the title everyone said was theirs to lose. “They’re playing with pros,” Kansas coach Bill Self. Davis rose up as the best of them all. The 6-foot10 freshman with the pterodactyl wingspan and Lexington’s favorite eyebrows dominated in what may be his only season in college basketball.

during the game,” Troy coach Scott Herman said. “We had three balls go to the outfield that I though were going to burn them, but they caught them. “We scored five runs (in the fifth) with two outs, and it all started with our lefty-slapper trio of Alex Wilt, Brooke Evans and Rachel Good.” Evans continued her hot streak, going 3 for 3 in the game. A Shelby Schultz triple drove in two runs during the fifth inning, while Allison Pierce had an RBI. But Troy couldn’t have gotten the job done without the pitching performance of Amber Smith, who finished the game with nine strikeouts and gave up just six hits. “Amber just pitched a gem,” Herman said. “The energy in the dugout was just phenomenal. All the girls were upbeat and cheering the whole time. We like our team. I think we can make a run at it (the GWOC title).” Smith was strong again Tuesday, giving up seven hits. After Troy took a 3-0 lead, though, Sidney (3-4, 0-2 GWOC North) stormed back with three in the bottom of the fifth to tie the game. The Trojans answered right back with two in the top of the sixth, and Smith did the rest. “Amber reached back today,” Herman said. “We saw her dig down deep, and she fought for this victory.” And Rachel good — the smallest player on the team — had the biggest bat, going 3 for 4 with a double and four RBIs. Evans — who is

DENVER (AP) — Brittney Griner came up big for Baylor, scoring 26 points and grabbing 13 rebounds to help the Lady Bears finish off an undefeated season with an 8061 win over Notre Dame in the national championship game Tuesday night. Baylor became the first team in NCAA history to win 40 games. Even more important to the Lady Bears, the team cut down the nets for the first time since 2005. For the Fighting Irish (35-4), a second straight trip to the title game ended in heartbreak. They lost 76-70 to Texas A&M last season. Odyssey Sims chipped in 19 for the Bears, while Destiny Williams added 12. The Irish cut a sizable

deficit to three points early in the second half, only to have Devereaux Peters called for an illegal screen, which was her fourth foul. With Peters on the bench, the Bears built their lead back up by dumping the ball into the 6-foot-8 Griner, who showed off her wide array of shots as she arched hooks and jumpers over the smaller Irish players. From there, the Bears went on a 33-11 run to seal the title. Griner scored 17 of her points in the second half, even with two, sometimes three, defenders hounding her at all times. Notre Dame was led in scoring by Skylar Diggins, who had 20 points. Natalie Novosel, one of the top Irish scorers, had a rough night. She finished 0 of 11 with five points.
