Robbery attempt suspect sought BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com

Check out this week’s iN75

City of Troy Police detectives are still on the lookout for a man who was armed with a rifle and attempted to rob the BP station on Main Street late Monday night. According to Capt. Chris Anderson, the suspect approached the manager brandishing a long rifle as the store was being locked up at approximately 11 p.m. Monday. The suspect

TROY asked the manger to open the store back up, yet the manager refused. A witness drove up after pumping gas, scaring off the would-be robber, who fled south on foot near the Norwich Street area. “He appeared to have a long rifle of some sort,” Anderson said Tuesday. “All of our detectives are following up on leads. As of right now, we are asking anyone who saw anybody in that

area, at around 10:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., and matching the description, to give our office a call.” The suspect is believed to be a white male, approximately 6-foot tall, weighing 180-190 pounds. Witnesses said he was wearing a black sweatshirt and had a white bandana across his mouth. Anderson said the last robbery of a business in Troy was more than a year ago. If anyone has more information regarding this incident, call the Troy Police Department at (937) 339-7525 or Miami County 9-1-1.

As part of the school district’s continuing partnership with Good Samaritan Hospital and the Upper Valley Medical Center, the Tipp City Board of Education accepted a check for $75,000 at Monday’s meeting. The check is part of a 10-year sponsorship with both GSH and UVMC, which provides funds for health and nutrition education, as well as athletic training and sports medicine services from both hospitals’ sports medicine programs. Anita Adams, a representative of Good Samaritan Hospital, presented the check to board. “It is really a wonderful partnership. Our mantra is ‘building healthier communities’ and one way to do that is really be a part of the community family. Sports are a wonderful way to do that,” Adams said. Adams explained that the partnership provides students with opportunities like special classes and career days at Good Samaritan. The board also accepted donations from the Tipp City STEAM Boosters. STEAM stands for Science Technology Engineering And Mathematics, and the Boosters’ goal is to promote students’ interest in these fields. The donation includes seven iPads and 12 microscopes for the high school science department as well as water testing kits and other equipment for the middle school. Altogether, the donated items are worth approximately $9,000. School changes The first day of school is approaching, with school starting after Labor Day for the first time in several years. But, due to the levy failure, this is not the only change students and parents will notice this school year. The “walk zone” will be extended from one mile to a mile and a half in order to cut the busing budget.

• CONTINUED FROM 1 lost time at an event postponed once and dogged still by Hurricane Isaac. Delegates held up signs that proclaimed “We built it,” a rebuttal to Obama’s saying of American entrepreneurs, “You didn’t build that.” The Democratic president has “never run a company. He hasn’t even run a garage sale or seen the inside of a lemonade stand,” declared Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican Party. “Mitt Romney will preserve this exceptional American legacy. Barack Obama will destroy it,” said Janine Turner, an actress and radio host. To send Romney and ticketmate Paul Ryan into the fall campaign, delegates approved a conservative platform that calls for tax cuts not government spending to stimulate the economy at a time of sluggish growth and 8.3 percent unemployment. Polls make the race a close one, to be settled in a string of battleground states where neither Romney nor the president holds a secure advantage. More than $500 million has already been spent on television commercials by the two candidates, their parties and allied outside groups, with millions more to come. Romney’s convention victory was more than five years in the making. He was defeated in his first try for the nomination, in 2008, when he was assailed as a false conservative after a term as governor of Massachusetts. This time, he had the most money, the largest organization and allies with the deepest pockets, all the better to bludgeon Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and other rivals in television ads across a string of hard-fought primaries and caucuses. Even so, conservatives were slow to warm to him,

and it took longer than many anticipated for him to lock up the nomination. Even at the convention, a residue of the struggle for the nomination was evident. Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who never won a primary or caucus, drew 190 delegate votes to 2,061 for Romney. His supporters chanted and booed after the convention adopted rules they opposed, but were powerless to block, to prevent those votes from being officially registered. “Shame on you,” some of his supporters shouted from the floor. Boehner, presiding over the roll call, made no attempt to have Romney’s nomination made by acclamation, even though Ryan’s was a few moments later. The night was Romney’s for sure, but some of the loudest cheers were accorded Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a hero among Republicans for fending off a labor-backed recall attempt last spring. Convention planners squeezed two days of speeches and other convention business into one after scrapping Monday’s scheduled opener because of fears that Isaac would make a direct hit on the Florida Gulf Coast. That threat fizzled, but it was instantly replaced by another that Republicans would wind up holding a political celebration at the same time the storm turned its fury on New Orleans, devastated almost exactly seven years ago by Hurricane Katrina. Romney’s convention planners said they were in frequent contact with weather forecasters, but they declined to discuss what contingency plans, if any, they had to accelerate plans for him to deliver a formal acceptance speech Thursday night.

Ratification of a party platform was a prelude to Romney’s nomination, a document more conservative on abortion than the candidate. On economic matters, it backs extension of the tax cuts enacted in 2001 and 2003 and due to expire at year’s end, without exception. It also calls for an additional 20 percent reduction in income tax brackets that Romney favors. In a time of 8.3 percent unemployment and the slowest economic recovery in the post-World War II era, that went to the crux of the campaign for the White House. By contrast, Obama wants to allow existing tax cuts to expire on upper income taxpayers, and has criticized Romney’s overall economic plans as a boon to millionaires that would raise taxes on the middle class. The GOP platform also pledges that a Republican-controlled Congress will repeal, and Romney will sign, legislation to repeal the health care legislation Obama won from a Democratic-controlled Congress. So, too, for the measure passed to regulate Wall Street in the wake of the 2008 economic collapse. On abortion, the platform says, “The unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed.” Romney opposes abortions, except in cases of rape, incest, or when “the health and life of the mother” are at stake, he said in a convention week interview. Obama, who accepts renomination at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., next week, campaigned in Iowa Tuesday as he set out on a tour of college campuses in battleground states in hopes of boosting voter registration among college students.

COLUMBUS (AP) — The state’s elections chief fired two Democrats from an elections board on Tuesday after they pushed to extend early voting into the weekends in their southwest Ohio county, beyond the hours he had ordered. Secretary of State Jon Husted initially suspended Thomas Ritchie Sr. and Dennis Lieberman from their positions on the

He told the members in a letter Tuesday that he was immediately dismissing them. He said they “knowingly and willfully violated Ohio election law” by not following his directive. Ohio is one of 32 states, plus the District of Columbia, that allow voters to cast early ballots in person without having to give a reason.

According to Superintendent Dr. John Kronour, about 260 students will be affected by the change. Participation fees will increase by 50 percent. For example, high school activities will now cost $150 each. Cuts in staff have also been made, classes sizes have gone up and field trips have been eliminated. “There are some definite changes this year,” Kronour said, adding that the beginning of school is still “always an exciting time.” Another big change in the district is the redistricting of the schools. Nevin Coppock will be home to kindergarten and grade while first Broadway will house second and third grades. This is expected to save the district approximately $207,000. Kronour shared his gratitude to all the teachers and custodians who helped with the move. “We want to definitely thank them for all their efforts in making that transition, and we are excited about getting to a new phase,” Kronour said. At its last meeting, the board voted against putting a levy on the ballot in November in a 3-2 vote. At Monday’s meeting, Carli Amlin Dean, Tipp City resident and mother of two students, expressed her disappointment with the board’s decision and urged them to reconsider. “It’s an opportunity that we’ve lost out on, giving the voters another chance in a larger arena,” Dean said. She argued that because more people come out to vote for national elections, the levy would have a better chance at passing in November. Dean also said that the school district needs to be more open about how the cuts will affect what staff and teachers can do for the students. “I think grandparents and citizens and parents will be able to see the effects of technology cuts and things of that nature. We need to start to personalize it,” said Dean. “I wanted to speak tonight to ask you to start to communicate what these cuts really mean on a personal level to this community and to these children.”

Free admission at museum to honor Armstrong CINCINNATI (AP) — People wanting to pay their respects to Neil Armstrong and see an exhibit dedicated to his space exploit were waiting outside the doors for a Cincinnati museum to open Sunday, with more than 2,000 viewing the exhibit by the end of the day, museum officials said. Armstrong, the first man on the moon, died Saturday in Cincinnati at 82. The Ohioan commanded the historic landing of the Apollo 11 spacecraft on the moon on July 20, 1969. The exhibit dedicated to him at the Museum of Natural History & Science of the Cincinnati Museum Center includes a moon rock and replicas of Armstrong’s Apollo 11 space suit and tools used on the moon. NASA allowed Armstrong and other astronauts to select sites for some moon rocks through its ambassadors for science program in 2006, and Armstrong chose the Cincinnati site, museum spokeswoman Elizabeth Pierce said. The museum is offering free admission through Labor Day to honor Armstrong, and Pierce said there were people of all ages coming through Sunday to view the exhibit. “People were stopping to take pictures, and you could hear parents telling their children about Armstrong and what he did,” Pierce said. Karen Danner, 41, of Cincinnati, heard about Armstrong’s death and thought it would be a good time to take her daughter and a friend to see the exhibit. “I wanted them to know about his accomplishments,” said Danner, who said she always respected his courage. “I can’t imagine that anyone would take that kind of risk,” she said. “I admire how brave he was and what he did for everyone.” Danner’s 11-year-old daughter, Rosemary Danner, said the replicas of the space suit and tools used to dig rocks from the moon “are really cool.” “I think he was very brave,” she said. The museum is collecting comments from those visiting the exhibit, enabling them to sign a book with a comment about

WAPAKONETA — “Wink at the Moon” a remembrance memorial for Neil Armstrong will take place at 8:30 pm Wednesday on the grounds of the Armstrong Air & Space Museum in Wapakoneta. The event is planned to honor Mr. Armstrong’s military service and his dedication to education as well as his famous first steps on the moon. Colleagues and personal friends of Mr. Armstrong will share their memories of Armstrong, a true American pioneer. The outdoor service will conclude with the opportunity to abide by the Armstrong family wish: “For those who may ask what they can do to honor Neil, we have a simple request. Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink.” The Armstrong Air & Space Museum will be open extended hours, from 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., with free admission. The public is invited to attend the memorial service and asked to bring lawn chairs. The museum is located just off of I-75, Exit 111. More information is available at the museum website, www.ArmstrongMuseum. org. how Armstrong has inspired them Pierce said the first response written Sunday was: “Nothing is impossible!” Another visitor wrote that Armstrong’s accomplishment and “quiet love of science” inspired him to get a doctorate in aerospace engineering. George Vincent, a former chairman of the board for the Cincinnati Museum Center, said the day he presided over the ceremony in which Armstrong donated the rock was thrilling. “Neil Armstrong was one of those people who when you met him was even better than you thought he would be,” Vincent said.

In Our View

PERSPECTIVE

Troy Daily News Editorial Board FRANK BEESON / Group Publisher DAVID FONG / Executive Editor

“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 Warren Tribune Chronicle Govs. Earl Ray Tomblin of West Virginia and John Kasich of Ohio are right to be exploring whether state government vehicle fleets should include cars and trucks fueled by natural gas. They also are correct to be moving cautiously, however. West Virginia and Ohio are involved in a 13-state consortium promoting use of natural gas in government vehicles. Two representatives, the governors of Colorado and Oklahoma, were in Detroit last week to discuss the initiative with the Big Three automakers. The idea is to encourage production of more cars and trucks that use natural gas instead of gasoline. Proponents of the idea, including not just state officials but many in local governments, say gas may be cheaper than gasoline, saving taxpayers’ money. In addition, more natural gas cars and trucks would increase demand for the fuel, benefiting areas like ours with rich deposits of the fuel. But it is a question whether artificial methods of increasing demand for gas are necessary or even wise in the long run. Already, despite a mild winter, gas prices are trending upward. This week, gas was selling for around $2.80 per thousand cubic feet an increase of about 40 percent during just the past six months. A price hike for petroleum of that magnitude in that amount of time would cause a national outcry. Still, even at the current price, gas is a bargain. But if prices continue to rise, natural gas vehicles may seem to be less of a good deal for consumers and taxpayers. The (Toledo) Blade A new scientific paper asserts that the Earth is warming even faster than expected. As the United States, including the Great Lakes region, endures one of the worst droughts in history, an effective strategy to address climate change requires a stronger commitment from Washington and the private sector to control greenhouse gases. This year’s drought has encompassed nearly two-thirds of the continental United States. Many scientists consider it a likely expression of climate change. The drought was worsened by the hottest July on record, dating to 1895. A decreased corn yield this summer is leading to higher crop, meat, and fuel prices. Parched land affects water supplies; large numbers of fish are dying in some coastal areas where saltwater has seeped in. In Ohio, groundwater that replenishes lakes will become increasingly important if the state realizes the predicted rapid growth of its drilling industry because of the use of horizontal fracturing, or fracking, of shale bedrock to produce oil and natural gas. Fracking requires tons of fresh water. Even if (the) report and the 2012 drought fail to persuade skeptics that more must be done to respond to man-made climate change, the Great Lakes region still has to become more proactive about committing to a clean economy. It won’t happen overnight, but it needs to happen. The Marietta Times Summer may be coming to an end, but that doesn’t mean we should take the threat of West Nile virus any less seriously. Ohio has its ninth confirmed human case of West Nile virus this year, it was reported this week. The latest case was confirmed by the Ohio Department of Health in Clark County in central Ohio. Health officials say the virus has been found in mosquito pools tested statewide. West Nile is of greater concern in other areas of the country. Officials in Texas are spraying because of a growing West Nile virus epidemic that has infected more than 200 residents and killed 10 of them in the Dallas area. It’s an example of why West Nile needs to be taken seriously and steps should be taken to prevent the spread of the disease…. If you own a home or property, there are steps you can take to limit the number of mosquitoes breeding on your property. Those steps include spraying or treating your yard and eliminating pools of water where mosquitoes can lay their eggs. Common areas where water can collect include flower pots, pet food and water dishes, birdbaths, swimming pool covers, buckets, barrels, and cans. Gutters can also hold water. Follow these steps to protect your family and your community.

DOONESBURY

Moving; it’s an adventure and a wake-up call Well, it's August again. You know what that means: moving time. Apparently I am still stuck in the rut of moving in the school calendar year versus the regular calendar year. Moving used to be fun; it used to be adventurous. Now, it's just obnoxious and frustrating. Moving has become quite a chore for me, even more so than it has been in the past. The biggest change was when I decided awhile back to get a dog, as most of you know her, my little Lilly. She is a pleasant, adorable, cuddly 5pound Silky Terrier. She is as quiet as a mouse and as loving as a child. She barely barks when I come home or if she thinks there is a visitor. Other than that, the only other noises she makes are little growls when we play and little yips, you can barely even notice when she is dreaming when she sleeps. I know, I am on the wrong side to understand it, but I can't understand the "no dogs" when acquiring about a place to move into. Don't get me wrong, I understand the "no pets." That means none, zero, no four legged friends at all. But if you are going to

Katie Yantis Troy Daily News Columnist allow cats, how is, for instance, (theoretical of course) a big ole 15pound cat that sloths around all day and scratches at doors any better than a 5-pound dog that sleeps all day and plays only when you tell her to? I know, there are so many instances of things happening when people bend the rules and that's why many times the rules are so strict. However, not all of us have terrorizing animals that will tear a place apart. Anyway, so that's just one of the factors that have made moving an interesting adventure for me. In all reality, it's not the hoops that I always have to jump through to find a new place; it's literally just finding a place. I am to the point in my life

— Hannah Summers Horse Management Project, 4H

where I am done with moving, I'm done with "seeing what is out there" and I would really just like to find a place and stay put for awhile. I want to find a place that I can call mine, decorate it the way that I want and just stay there. I want to have friends over for dinner and games and just enjoy being there. I do not want to downplay my current place and its success. Chelsea and I moved in a year ago, we made it ours and we made it great. For the first time, I felt like I had a home, instead of just a place to live. Other than this past year, I haven't had a whole lot of good luck with my living situations. There was always either an insect problem, water problem, leaking problem, or roommate problems, or I just knew that I wasn't going to be in a specific place to live for long so I kind of lived out of boxes. But, can I say something out of all of this? Even though I have been upset about my moving, trouble finding a place and complaining about all the hoops to jump through, I had a welcomed bump on the head to knock me down a few notches last night as I

packed. As I took all my framed photos and decorations off the walls, and boxed up movies, kitchen supplies and offices supplies, I stopped and started crying. While I have been wrapped up in myself and worried about finding a place to put all my stuff, I realized how blessed I am to have all that "stuff," and most of it, I don't need. I realized that even though my home was turning into a box again after taking everything down, I said to myself, at least you have had a home and things to fill it! At least you have things to take down, pictures of loved ones to pack away and loved ones who are willing to help you in any way they can. I realized I have more than some people can imagine or even wish for, yet I am so unthankful for it all some days. I'm thankful for my family who have allowed me to have opportunities to have the things I have, and their love and support. And now, as I continue the adventure of finding my own place, I'm more thankful for the help they continue to offer.

In this June 11, 1963 file photo, one of a series taken by then AP Saigon correspondent Malcom Browne, Thich Quang Duc, a Buddhist monk, burns himself to death on a Saigon street to protest alleged persecution of Buddhists by the South Vietnamese government. Browne died Monday night.

Burning-monk photographer Malcolm Browne dies at NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The phone calls went out from Saigonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Xa-Loi Buddhist pagoda to chosen members of the foreign news corps. The message: Be at a certain location tomorrow for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;very importantâ&#x20AC;? happening. The next morning, June 11, 1963, an elderly monk named Thich Quang Duc, clad in a brown robe and sandals, assumed the lotus position on a cushion in a blocked-off street intersection. Aides drenched him with aviation fuel, and the monk calmly lit a match and set himself ablaze. Of the foreign journalists who had been alerted to the shocking political protest against South Vietnamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U.S.-supported government, only one, Malcolm Browne of The Associated Press, showed up. The photos he took appeared on front pages

around the globe and sent shudders all the way to the White House, prompting President John F. Kennedy to order a re-evaluation of his administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vietnam policy. Browne, who died Monday at a New Hampshire hospital at age 81, recalled in a 1998 interview that that was the beginning of the rebellion, which led to U.S.-backed South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem being overthrown and murdered, along with his brother, Ngo Dinh Nhu, the national security chief. Browne was diagnosed with Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease in 2000 and spent his last years using a wheelchair to get around. He was rushed to the hospital Monday night after experiencing difficulty breathing, said his wife, Le Lieu Browne, who lives in Thetford, Vt.

SLAMMERS

Trial begins for suspect in Piqua shooting case BY WILL E SANDERS Ohio Community Media wsanders@dailycall.com

TROY

Rejecting a plea agreement in his attempted murder case twice and opting to take his case to trial, a Fort Wayne, Ind., man who allegedly was involved in a near-fatal shooting near a Piqua park in December during a drug deal gone bad started his threeday trial in common pleas court Tuesday. T h e accused, Aaron TUBBS D. Tubbs, 28, has been charged with attempted aggravated murder, aggravated robbery (with a gun specification), having a firearm while under disability and trafficking drugs, marijuana. The charges stem from the Dec. 5, 2011, shooting of the victim, Michael Butts of Piqua, who was parked in a car near Fountain Park. The prosecution claims Tubbs allegedly shot Butts four times at close range as the victim sat in his car in the 1300 block of Forest Avenue. Butts, who is expected to testify in the trial, later recovered from the shooting after spending a week in the hospital for gunshot wounds to the chin, the right chest, the right abdomen and right arm. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Tony Kendell and defense attorney William Kluge delivered opening statements before the court recessed for lunch. Testimony in the trial began after lunch, with the first police officer to arrive

on the scene, along with showing the jury video footage from that officerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cruiser cam. Piqua patrolman Miles Gearing testified that when he arrived at the scene he found Butts on the ground in the middle of the street with multiple gunshot wounds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His clothes were covered in blood,â&#x20AC;? Gearing testified. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was bleeding heavily from the neck and was coherent and upset. â&#x20AC;Ś He said he had gone to the park to purchase marijuana from a black male he knew as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Little Homey.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Piqua police Lt. Bill Collins testified he took over that crime scene after he arrived and said through an investigation at the scene it was quickly determined that the street name â&#x20AC;&#x153;Little Homeyâ&#x20AC;? came back as being related to the suspect, who was witnessed fleeing the area in a green Taurus. Other individuals called to testify were Piqua patrolman and evidence technician Brian George, who spoke about collecting evidence at the rainy crime scene; eyewitnesses Gregory Scholl and Lacey Reed, who were sitting on a park bench 30 feet away from the shooting; and Kelly Long, who lives across the street from Fountain Park and witnessed the suspect vehicle fleeing the scene. Also taking the stand was Alicen Jackson, an acquaintance of Tubbs

with whom she visited with hours before the shooting took place. Jackson testified she received a letter from the following Tubbsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; jail arrest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the letter he told me I should have never talked to the cops,â&#x20AC;? she stated. Under cross examination, Jackson said she has since misplaced the letter. Last to testify Tuesday was Jennifer Douglas, a one-time friend of Tubbs. Douglas said she let the suspect borrow her car on the afternoon of the shooting, but that Tubbs never returned the vehicle, which was later recovered an hour after the shooting in the area of Fountain Park. Both Jackson and Douglas testified that Tubbsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; street name was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Homey.â&#x20AC;? The jury selection process began Tuesday morning as Kendell and Kluge questioned a jury pool of 29 individuals for about two hours before selecting a 12-person jury, along with one alternate. The jury is comprised of four men, eight women and one alternate juror, a female. At the start of jury selection, Kendell gave a brief description of the alleged crime and labeled it as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;drug deal gone badâ&#x20AC;? after the victim attempted to purchase a pound and a half of marijuana from the suspect near Fountain Park in Piqua on the night of Dec. 5, 2011. As a result, Kendell said â&#x20AC;&#x153;the victim was shot at close range several times.â&#x20AC;? During the selection process Kluge, who maintains in court documents that his client had an albi, reminded the potential

jurors that his client is relying on them to perform their task of being a fair and impartial jury member. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is imperative for me to get a jury that will be fair and impartial,â&#x20AC;? Kluge said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will tell you right now that Aaron will not be taking the witness stand.â&#x20AC;? Dressed in khaki pants and wearing a tan, longsleeved shirt with a sweater vest, Tubbs spoke quietly with his attorney before jury selection began about whether he wanted a jury or a judge to hear the case. Also in court it was learned the prosecution offered Tubbs a plea deal Monday afternoon, but the accused shooter turned the bargain away. Under that agreement, Tubbs would have entered a plea to his charges and would have been recommended to serve seven years in prison. Kluge said he spoke with his client on two separate occasions concerning the agreement, but that Tubbs declined the offer both times. Tubbs was taken into custody about three weeks after the shooting in Fort Wayne, Ind., after a warrant was issued for his arrest and he was later extradited back to Miami County to face the charges. Tubbs is currently being held at the Miami County Jail on a $1.1 million bond. If convicted as charged, Tubbs, who has pleaded not guilty, faces up to two decades in prison.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Kids are old enough to learn about grandma’s condition Dear Annie: I am married to a great guy, and we have two wonderful, intelligent teens. But my mother-in-law is causing great stress. "Mama" was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder 10 years ago and is prescribed a cocktail of drugs to help with a preponderance of violent mood swings, anger, resentment and occasional dissociation. She is a textbook narcissist who can only demand love for herself and is unable to give to others. Her family relationships and many of her friendships have taken a dive. It's a wonder she can hold down a job. Her big trigger is perceived rejection. When she was in our home, she expected to be everyone's entire focus. She demanded the full attention and affection of my husband and deeply resented his relationship with his own children. Needless to say, invitations to holiday gatherings dwindled over the years. Her grandchildren have grown up without her in their lives, although we have taken care not to poison them against her. Now, Mama has taken herself off all meds and declared herself cured. She has convinced herself that her diagnosis was wrong, and that her problem all along has been emotional abuse from others, including her children and grandchildren. In short, everyone else is to blame. The trouble now is that she is blogging on the Internet, publicly criticizing family members, including our teenage kids and their cousins. The adults can dismiss this as the ranting of a mentally ill person, but we're afraid our kids are going to come across the blog one of these days. Any advice? — Also Sleepless, but in Sonoma Dear Sonoma: You have our sympathy dealing with such a difficult situation. You don't have to poison the children against Grandma to have a heartfelt discussion on mental illness. The kids are old enough to understand that their grandmother is not well, and that her behavior can be unpredictable and sometimes unkind. They may never see her blog, but if they do, you will have done all you can to inoculate them against whatever damaging reaction they may have. Dear Annie: I work in a small office with one of the most unprofessional and disgusting co-workers a person could have. My main complaint is that when we are in the break room, "Penny" takes out her dentures and sets them on the table. Between the gross dentures and her vulgar mouth, none of us wants to take a break in the one area we have. Nobody, not even management, is willing to address the issue. She reads your column, so please print this. — Grossed Out Dear Grossed Out: We are sympathetic to Penny's desire to be comfortable in the break room, but it is important to be considerate of others who share your space. Don't count on her seeing herself in the column or doing anything about it. Our suggestions are for you: You can take breaks when Penny is not using the room; you can ignore her dentures to the best of your ability; or you can bite the bullet and ask politely if she would refrain from removing her dentures when others are present. Dear Annie: "Loving Mom, Disgusted Mother-in-Law" is worried that her daughter will return to her drug-abusing husband. It's too bad the daughter isn't going to Al-Anon. They said I would know when I wanted to make the break. It comes down to how much pain you can tolerate before you are willing to make changes. I realized two things: that I didn't want him to die in the house, and that we would lose our home if I didn't do something. He finally reached sobriety six years after the divorce and managed to be a good dad for 22 more. — J. Dear J.: Self-help groups like AlAnon (al-anon.alateen.org) and Nar-Anon (nar-anon.org) can be godsends for those who live with addicts. Thank you.

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Readers call for the return of pistachio ambrosia Dear Heloise: Help! I cannot find your recipe for pistachio ambrosia, and my family would like me to make it! — Marilyn D. in Massachusetts Oh no, Marilyn! Here is my Heloise’s Pistachio Ambrosia recipe, which takes just minutes to make! It is delicious and probably won’t last long! Gather the following ingredients: 1 can (16 ounces) chunky pineapple 1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple 1 small box instant pistachio pudding mix 1 cup shredded coconut 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans 12-16 ounces nondairy whipped

Hints from Heloise Columnist topping (thawed) 1 cup miniature marshmallows Take the cans of pineapple (with juice) and dump into a medium mixing bowl. Sprinkle the instant pistachio pudding mix over the pineapple and let it sit for a couple of minutes to be absorbed. Gently fold in the coconut and nuts. Next, add the whipped top-

ping and marshmallows. Don’t overmix! Place in the refrigerator for at least an hour or so before eating. So easy, yet so delicious! — Heloise P.S.: Clip this out right now and tape it inside a kitchen cupboard door. CAKE DECORATING Dear Heloise: I love to bake, but I am not very talented when decorating cakes and cookies. One day, I took a cookie cutter, placed it on top of the cake I had baked and used it as a guide to make pretty patterns with powdered sugar. Now I am constantly experimenting and coming up with more decorating possibilities after using sprinkles, frosting, pow-

dered sugar and even melted chocolate! — Nancy D. in Tennessee How creative! Presentation is important with desserts. A colorful, tasty icing can make all the difference, too. I have cake decorating ideas using unique icings in my Heloise’s Cake Recipes pamphlet, which you can have by sending $3 and a long, selfaddressed, stamped (65 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Cake, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. An easy and simple homemade icing can be made by mixing powdered sugar, cherry juice and a drop of vanilla and food coloring, if needed. Spread on your favorite white or golden cake. Enjoy! — Heloise

The truth is, you’re full of self-doubt and are second-guessing yourself. Just wait. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Tension with others, especially in group situations, might build today. (It’s the Full Moon tomorrow.) Furthermore, someone might be less than honest. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Play your cards close to your chest today, because aspects of your private life suddenly are made public to bosses and parents. Furthermore, misunderstandings run rampant. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Don’t listen to people who claim they know everything but really don’t. Don’t fall under the spell of someone who is mesmerizing but possibly just a phony! Be careful. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a poor day to decide how to deal with inheritances and shared property. There’s an element of deceit present, and certainly confusion. Easy does it. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Tension with others is likely today because of the energy building up before tomorrow’s Full Moon. Incidentally, it is the only Full Moon directly opposite your sign all year! (Gulp.) LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Don’t make an issue about something at work today; it will only backfire. Everyone is a bit on edge because of the energy building up before tomorrow’s Full Moon. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Be extra patient with children and romantic partners. Situations that are usually playful might be stressful today. Take the high road. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Difficulties with family conversations are likely today. Avoid arguments with parents, especially mothers, or female relatives. Don’t even go there. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This could be an accident-prone day simply because of your own inclination to be distracted or even angry with someone. If you keep calm, nothing will happen. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Disagreements about possessions, money or shared responsibilities might arise today. Why not postpone these discussions for a few days? (Good idea.) PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Tomorrow, the only Full Moon in your sign all year is taking place. Naturally, you feel this energy building up within you today, causing problems with others. Be cool. Don’t take things personally, and don’t overreact. We’re all in this Big Soup together. YOU BORN TODAY In many ways, the key to your success is your selfconfidence. You are organized, financially astute yet modest. You don’t need a lot of flash and fanfare, but you do value your security. Perhaps this is why family and others often depend on you. You like to be organized. In the year ahead, you will study or learn something valuable to you. Birthdate of: Warren Buffett, entrepreneur/philanthropist; Lisa Ling, journalist; Cameron Diaz, actress. (c) 2012 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

(According to Cage, the “music” consisted of the setting’s background noises, including the sounds of the increasingly restive

BRUSSELS (AP) — A woman who let two 8-yearold girls starve in a cellar and helped her pedophile husband carry out horrific abuse of other girls went from prison to a convent Tuesday, outraging Belgians who opposed the early release of one of the country’s most despised criminals. The nation’s highest court approved Michelle Martin’s release after serving 16 years of a 30-year prison term for her role in the mid-1990s kidnappings, rapes and killings by her then-husband, Marc Dutroux.

Martin left prison in an unmarked vehicle late Tuesday for a Clarisse convent in Malonne, a 45-mile trip south of the capital, where her lawyer said she will seek atonement for her crimes. More than 100 people shouted insults at her as she arrived, some trying to break through police barriers. “There is only one word for this. This is simply absurd. But I will have to accept it,” said Paul Marchal, whose daughter An, was one of Dutroux’s victims. “Concerning Martin, my fight is over and done. I lost.”

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.

Centerville wins 15-12 in final game BY COLIN FOSTER Associate Sports Editor cfoster@tdnpublishing.com

Troy volleyball coach Michelle Owen was proud of the effort her team gave on Tuesday night. That effort, though, didn’t get the Trojans a positive result on the scoreboard. After the Trojans went up two games to one on Centerville, the Elks rallied with a convincing 25-14 Game 4 win, then edged Troy 15-12 in the final game for a five-set victory at Trojan Activity Center. “We had a good gameplan,” Owen said. “We’ve been drilling defense in practice all week. Even the Centerville coach came up and commented on our defense after the game. I was super proud of our effort. The girls got a TROY little frustrated in game four. But league play is like that — and our road doesn’t get any easier. We go to Springfield on Thursday, we play East on Saturday and we’ve got our tournament next weekend. We’ve got to be ready every game.” The first game was as back and forth as could be — with 15 lead changes and 13 ties. But with the score tied 17-17, Centerville took control, closing out the game on an eight to two spurt to win, 25-18. Troy was poised the take the next game, though, going up 24-8 at one point, before Centerville rallied off eight straight points to make it 24-16. Troy’s Mackenzie Rice

Fujita hopes to play opener BEREA (AP) — Scott Fujita isn’t convinced he’ll have to miss a single game this season. Suspended three games by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for his alleged role in the New Orleans’ bounty scandal, Fujita expressed confidence that he’ll play in Cleveland’s season opener on Sept. 9 against Philadelphia. “I’m optimistic about playing in Week 1,” he said. Fujita was one of four players punished by Goodell for contributing to the payfor-hits program that rocked the league. The 33-year-old returned to practice Tuesday for the first time since hurting his left knee in the Aug. 10 exhibition opener against Detroit. Following the workout on a bright, nearly cloudless day, Fujita said he “has a lot” of optimism about his suspension being reduced or delayed. Fujita declined to give many details for his positive outlook other than saying he was encouraged by U.S. District Judge Ginger Berrigan’s recent statements regarding suspended Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma’s request for a temporary restraining order to block the bounty sanctions. The judge has said that if she can clear up concerns about her jurisdiction, she would likely grant Vilma the TRO because she found the NFL’s disciplinary process in the bounty matter unfair and the punishment excessive. The four suspended players are hoping to get the order to put the suspensions on hold. They feel they should be allowed to argue in court that Goodell overstepped his jurisdiction in handing down punishment against the Saints without showing any evidence. Vilma was suspended for the entire 2012 season, and Saints defensive end Will Smith is banned for the first four regular-season games. Former Saints defensive end Anthony Hargrove, now with Green Bay, was penalized eight games. The players and their attorneys believe the suspensions could cause them irreparable harm, possible grounds for a judge to grant a restraining order putting the suspensions on hold until it’s decided if the commissioner acted properly. An appeal hearing is scheduled for Thursday in New York. That hearing is occurring under a process laid out by the collective bargaining agreement. Berrigan has indicated that she would feel more comfortable about her jurisdiction after the appeal process under the league’s labor agreement had been exhausted. Berrigan also has urged all sides to try to settle, though there have been no apparent signs of progress on that front. Fujita’s suspension isn’t the only one hanging over the Browns (No. 30 in the AP Pro32) as they prepare to face the Eagles. Cornerback Joe Haden could be facing a four-game suspension for reportedly failing a drug test. The Browns have declined to comment on reports Haden will be suspended for using Adderall. While his situation gets sorted out, Fujita is just happy to be back on the field. One of the club’s defensive captains, he’s had his two seasons in Cleveland ended prematurely by injuries. In 2010, he tore a ligament in his left knee and missed the final seven games. Last year, he broke his hand and was placed on injured reserve with six games left.

Kaitlyn Douglas did the same.” In the second game, however, the Bees took control after an early lead by the Bulldogs. Heisey started the game with back-to-back aces, then Milton went up 4-1 after an ace by Chloe Smith. But Bethel senior Kelsey

Shoup started a ninepoint service streak with her own ace to help the Bees go up 12-4. Milton got back in the game, thanks to the serving of Douglas — who scored two aces to pull Milton within four at 17-13. With the score tied at 23-23, Bethel forced Milton to hit it out then hit into the net, sealing a gritty 25-23 victory. “When we play, we STAFF PHOTO/JIM HOUSER play,” Ginn said. “In that Milton-Union’s Kaitlyn Douglas (12) hits over, while second game, we can’t Brianna Bull (4) and Bethel’s Katlyn Shoup look on. give a team an eight-point lead or whatever it was.

But I told the girls we’ve got to start getting back to the basics and the fundamentals. We’ve got to work on our passing, which we will continue to do. But overall, I think we improved on hitting and blocking.”

No ordinary opener for PSU

Monday

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Bill O’Brien has turned into Penn State’s steady, even-keeled rock through tough times, but even he’ll allow himself to be a little nervous before his first game as Nittany Lions coach. After all, a new era is about to begin in Happy Valley. “I will certainly have butterflies before this game. I’d be crazy to tell you otherwise,” he said Tuesday about Saturday’s season opener against Ohio. “I mean, this is my first football game as a head football coach.” O’Brien expects those nerves to disappear come kickoff once he settles into the routine of coaching. And yet almost everything else about Saturday won’t be routine, either. It’s the first season opener at Penn State without Hall of Famer Joe Paterno as head coach since 1965. It’s the first game since the NCAA meted down landmark sanctions on the program because of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. Paterno was fired days after Sandusky was arrested in November. It’s the first time the Nittany Lions who stayed with O’Brien will take the field since the NCAA allowed players to seek immediate transfers in light of the sanctions. Nine players have moved on since the penalties were announced July 23, most

Penn State NCAA college football head coach Bill O'Brien speaks during his weekly news conference Tuesdayin State College, Pa. Penn State is scheduled to play Ohio in it's first game of the season on Saturday. notably 1,200-yard rusher Silas Redd. Bowl games and Big Ten titles are out for the next four years. More than 90 percent of the roster stayed, but the defections have many pundits counting out Penn State as a Big Ten also-ran. Senior linebacker Gerald Hodges seems as motivated as ever. “There are a lot of guys in that locker room that feel they have something to play for,” Hodges said. “All that anger filled up. All that tension filled up … I can just tell we can’t wait to unleash something.” Part of O’Brien’s job

this week is to help keep his players’ emotions in check, beyond the usual opening-day jitters. Hodges and many other players have said they’ve also been energized by a university community that has rallied around players who had nothing to do with the scandal but have taken the brunt of the punishment. “So I think if our guys can control their emotions and play within themselves and not try to be heroes and just play the way they’ve been playing in practice, then we’ll have a shot to control those emotions early on,”

O’Brien said. “But it’s something that we have talked about and we’ll continue to talk about.” The former offensive coordinator of the New England Patriots, O’Brien walked into the Beaver Stadium media room for his inaugural weekly press conference a few minutes early much like the late Paterno did. He settled into the same spot at the podium, deftly and patiently answering numerous questions around the theme of whether Saturday’s game had added significance for a program in an historic transition.

Michigan can help Big 10 image with win over Alabama By the Associated Press Michigan and Michigan State are giving the Big Ten a couple of early chances to burnish its national reputation. The conference’s image has taken a beating in some quarters, and not just because of the child-sex scandal at Penn State or the NCAA penalties at Ohio State. There is the perceived gap between the Big Ten and Southeastern Conference, a gap many think is growing wider each season. That, of course, is not a problem exclusive to the Big Ten. But the tension is palpable in a conference that once upon a time boasted of being the best in the land. The SEC wears that label now, and its six straight national titles leave little room for debate. The Big Ten’s recent performances against SEC teams have been less than stellar, and the record against other BCS leagues has been nothing to brag

Tippecanoe’s doubles team’s swept as Katie and Nadia Stenger Mahan defeated Hayley Fannin and Hannah Zerkle at first singles by a score of 6-3, 6-2 and the team of Katie Gross and Miu Tanaka — the Schroeder Invitational’s best second doubles team — beat Taylor Bodey and Kayle Burchnell 6-3, 6-3. Tipp is now 5-0, 3-0 in the Central Buckeye Conference. • Girls Soccer Tippecanoe 2, Butler 1 — The BUTLER Tippecanoe Red Devils recovered nicely from their loss to Troy in Saturday’s opener, scoring a pair of clutch secondhalf goals to knock off the always-talented Butler Aviators 2-1. With 27:41 left in a still-scoreless game, Sarah Harmer finally put Tippecanoe (1-1) on the board, but Butler evened things up on a penalty kick 10 minutes later. With six minutes to play, Harmer crossed the ball to Chelsea Clawson for the eventual gamewinner, and the Devils hung on from there.

For Ginn, though, getting the first win at home was a relief, considering what was at stake — and what lies ahead. “It was a combination of it being our first game in our new gymnasium, in our new school,” Ginn said. “I think there was some pressure on them to win the first game in the new school, and then we have a big game with our big conference rival Preble Shawnee (Tuesday). I think it was a little looking ahead, but mostly what I saw was nerves.”

about, either. All this makes for a delicious opener when No. 8 Michigan plays secondranked and defending national champion Alabama on Saturday night at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Michigan coach Brady Hoke on Tuesday tried to juke a question about the importance of representing well in the early Big TenSEC matchup. He mentioned the great academic institutions and athletic programs of the Big Ten before acknowledging any duty to fly the flag for the conference. “There is no question that’s part of it when you play a team from another league,” he said on the Big Ten coaches’ teleconference. No. 13 Michigan State, picked by many to win the Legends Division and play Wisconsin again in the Big Ten championship game, can do its part Friday when it opens against 24thranked Boise State. Spartans coach Mark Dantonio said he is concerned only about Michigan State, not how the Big Ten stacks up nationally. That argument can wait until later in the fall. “Collectively, we as a group will stand together at the end of the day,” he said. “We’re not going out there representing the Big Ten Conference as much as putting on the green and white and representing Michigan State today.” The Big Ten was 4-6 in bowl games last year after its teams went a combined 7-7 in the regular season against BCS conference opponents and Notre Dame.
