WASHINGTON (AP) — VicePresident Joe Biden vowed urgentaction against gun violence inAmericaWednesday, pledging steps bythe Obama administration that hesaid could “take thousands of peopleout of harm’s way” and improve thesafety of millions more.

But a day ahead of a meeting withthe National Rifle Association, whichhas sunk past gun control efforts and isopposing any new ones, Biden signaled thatthe administration is mindful of political reali-ties that could imperil sweeping gun control

legislation, and is willing to settle forsomething less.

He said the administration is con-sidering its own executive action aswell as measures by Congress, but hedidn’t offer specifics.

“I want to make it clear that we arenot going to get caught up in thenotion that unless we can do every-thing, we’re going to do nothing,” Bidentold an array of gun control advocates,

crime victims and others at the White House.“It’s critically important we act.”

Shortly after last month’s slaughter of

schoolchildren at Newtown, Conn., PresidentBarack Obama tasked Biden with heading acommission to come up with recommendationson gun policy by the end of this month. Obamasupports steps including reinstating a ban onassault weapons and high-capacity ammuni-tion magazines and closing loopholes thatallow many gun buyers to avoid backgroundchecks.

The Brady Campaign to Prevent GunViolence says that some 40 percent of gun salesare made without background checks, such as

Former FletcherVolunteer Fire DepartmentFire Chief Dan Pierce hasbeen charged with theftand tampering withrecords following an inter-nal investigation bydepartment officials andan investigation led by theMiami County Sheriff ’sOffice.

Miami County Sheriff ’sOffice records statecharges against Piercewere filed on Jan. 7 by firstassistant prosecutingattorney Tony Kendell.

According to the KenDeWeese, acting fire chief,the department receivedPierce’s letter of resigna-tion on Jan. 2.

DeWeese said informa-tion was brought toFletcher Fire Departmentofficials “concerning theactions of Dan on thedepartment.”

“Based on the informa-tion, it prompted our owninternal investigation,”DeWeese said Wednesday.“With the results of ourinvestigation, we decidedto turn it over to the MiamiCounty Sheriff ’s Office.”

Crazy for the stageBY MELANIE YINGST

Staff Writermyingst@tdnpublishing.com

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

The Miami East High School jun-ior will star as Everett Baker in theMuse Machine performance of“Crazy for You” at the VictoriaTheatre. The production runsthrough tonight until Sunday.

Garrison said he’s been practicingfor the part of Everett since Octoberand is thrilled at the opportunity totake the Victoria Theatre stage forthe first time. The performance willfeature the music of GeorgeGershwin.

“Dayton is an awesome theatercity,” Garrison said Wednesday.“There’s lots of opportunity especial-ly for young people.”

Garrison got bit by the acting bugat a young age when he was cast asan understudy for the role of Jo Jo inthe high school’s musical “Seussical”when he was only in the third grade.Later when he was merely a sixthgrade student, Garrison was cast in amajor role in the high school’s pro-duction of “Beauty and the Beast” asLefou.

“That’s when it just clicked and Iknew that’s what I wanted to do — Iloved the attention,” he said. “Afterthat, my family got involved in the-ater.”

Garrison said he enjoyed attendedBroadway productions of “Lion King”and instantly knew he wanted topursue a career in acting.

“After I saw the ‘Lion King’ I

thought ‘That’s exactly what I wantto be doing,’” he said. “It’s just amaz-ing.”

Garrison said former Englishteacher and high school musicaldirector David Brush then encour-aged Garrison to pursue his passionfor acting through the DaytonPlayhouse and other small theatervenues.

“I know it sounds cheesy, but therush I feel when I get on stage isamazing,” Garrison exclaimed. “I getto be someone else for two and a halfhours.”

Garrison said when he receivedword he was cast as Everett last fall“it was the coolest feeling in theworld.”

“I called everybody I knew,” hesaid.

Garrison said it has been a chal-lenge juggling class work and hisrehearsals for the upcoming produc-tion but has enjoyed every minute ofit.

APFirefighters, police officers and construction workers work the sceneof a crane collapse at a construction site in the Queens borough ofNew York, Wednesday, behind a big neon “Pepsi Cola” sign, a locallandmark.

NYC crane collapses atconstruction site; 7 hurt

NEW YORK (AP) — With thepopping of cables and the snappingof metal, a crane collapsed onto abuilding under construction nearthe East River waterfrontWednesday, injuring seven people,three of whom needed to be extri-cated from underneath the fallenmachinery.

The red crane toppled around2:30 p.m., sprawling across themetal scaffolding and wood plank-ing that made up the first floorskeleton of a residential building inthe New York City borough ofQueens behind a big neon “PepsiCola” sign, a local landmark.Workers putting up the secondfloor framework scrambled to get

out of the way.“Once that snap came, that was

it,” said Russell Roberson, 32, ofBrooklyn. “I just heard guysyelling, ‘Run, run!”

The people who had to be extri-cated from underneath the cranesuffered a range of injuries, brokenbones being the most severe,Deputy Fire Chief Mark Ferransaid. He said emergency servicespersonnel didn’t need heavymachinery to get them out. None ofthe injuries was life-threatening.

Preston White, 48, a carpenterfrom the Bronx, was working hisfirst day at the site in the Long

• See CRANE on Page 2

Island City neighborhood. Hehad turned to speak to afriend when he heard a pop-ping sound and turned backaround.At that moment, “I saw

the cable whipping towardthe deck. … You could justhear it buckling,”White said.The impact shook the scaf-

folding he was on.The crane cut down the

framework of the building“like a hot knife in butter,”White said, because therewas no concrete on it yet.Roberson said the crane,

which he estimated to beabout 200 feet high, had beenup since the weekend andwent down really fast.City officials went up in a

cherry picker while investi-gating the accident.Tony Sclafani, a

spokesman for the city’sDepartment of Building, saidtheir engineers were investi-gating the cause of the col-lapse.“This is a mobile crane,

whose boom collapsed ontothe building under construc-tion,” Sclafani said.He said the crash hap-

pened at the site of a projectfor a 25-story apartmentbuilding under contract byTF Cornerstone, a residentialand commercial real estatedeveloper and property man-agement company. The com-pany said it was workingwith authorities to helpdetermine what caused thecrash.It said the crane had been

leased by a subcontractor,from New York Crane andEquipment Corp.Construction cranes have

been a source of safety wor-ries in the city since twogiant rigs collapsed withintwo months of each other inManhattan in 2008, killing atotal of nine people.New York Crane’s equip-

ment was involved in one ofthose collapses. Owner James

Lomma was tried and acquit-ted on manslaughter charges.A call to their offices seek-

ing comment Wednesdaywasn’t answered.Those accidents spurred

the resignation of the city’sbuildings commissioner andfueled new safety measures,including hiring more inspec-tors and expanding trainingrequirements and inspectionchecklists.Another crane fell and

killed a worker in April at aconstruction site for a newsubway line. That rig wasexempt from most city con-struction safety rulesbecause it was working for astate-overseen agency thatruns the subway system.During Superstorm Sandy

in late October, a constructioncrane atop a $1.5 billion luxu-ry high-rise in midtownManhattan collapsed in highwinds and danged precarious-ly for several days until itcould be tethered.The latest crane collapse

wasn’t the only notable acci-dent in New York City onWednesday. A high-speedferry loaded with hundreds ofcommuters from New Jerseycrashed into a dock in lowerManhattan during morningrush hour, seriously injuring11 people. The cause of thatcrash is also under investiga-tion.

“It’s been extremely hard with timemanagement,” he said with a laugh. “Ihaven’t had a social life at all.”Garrison said the support he has

received from friends and familyhas been overwhelming.“My friends here at school

have helped me rehearse mylines during study hall — I havevery supportive friends,” he said.Garrison said he plans on pur-

suing theater after high schooland plans to visit New YorkUniversity in the summer andother renowned colleges where thearts flourish.“I really want to go to a city where there

are opportunities in the theater outside ofclasses,” he said. “NYU would be reallycool.”

Garrison said he enjoys the classic the-ater productions as well as more contempo-rary shows like “Wicked.”“My dream role would to be cast

as Nicely-Nicely (Johnson) in Guys andDolls — I fell in love with that role,”

Garrison said.Garrison did not admit to

stage-induced jitters, claiming,“the lights are so bright you canonly see the first eight rows.”But beyond those eight rows

will be his supportive cast offamily members and friends,including his parents Beth andSteve Garrison, sister Brittanyand grandmother Shirley Bird.For more information about

at gun shows and over the Internet.The tragedy in Newtown, in

which 20 young children and sixadults were gunned down by a manwith a military-style semiautomat-ic rifle, has prodded the adminis-tration to act. Obama hadremained largely silent on gun con-trol after the 2011 shootings inTucson, Ariz., that killed six peopleand wounded 12 others includingthen-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, andthe Colorado movie theater killingof a dozen people and wounding ofmany more last July.Connecticut is moving cautious-

ly on gun control, but Gov. AndrewCuomo in neighboring New Yorkproposed a wide-ranging packageof restrictions on Wednesday. Hecalled for loopholes to be closed in aNew York ban on assault weaponsand ammunition magazines thatcarry more than 10 bullets. TheDemocrat also wants to requireholders of handgun licenses toundergo follow-ups to make surethey are still qualified to possess aweapon, and he is calling forincreased sentences for certain gun

crimes.Biden, referring to the Newtown

shootings, said at the White House:“Every once in a while, there’ssomething that awakens the con-science of the country, and thattragic event did it in a way likenothing I’ve seen in my career.”“The president and I are deter-

mined to take action. … We canaffect the wellbeing of millions ofAmericans and take thousands ofpeople out of harm’s way if we actresponsibly.”Biden said that the administra-

tion is weighing executive action inaddition to recommending legisla-tion by Congress.Recommendations to the Bidengroup include making gun-traffick-ing a felony, getting the JusticeDepartment to prosecute peoplecaught lying on gun background-check forms and ordering federalagencies to send data to theNational Gun Background CheckDatabase.Some of those pieces could hap-

pen by executive action, but con-gressional say-so would be neededfor more far-reaching changes suchas reinstating the ban on assault

weapons and high-capacity ammu-nition magazines. Congress let theban expire in 2004 under heavypressure from the NRA. Democratsblamed a backlash against somelawmakers who voted for its enact-ment 10 years earlier for steep elec-tion losses that year.Since then Democrats have been

wary of legislating on guns, andefforts have fizzled in Congress.Already there are signs any newlegislative effort by Obama couldface tough going. Some pro-gunDemocrats have voiced doubts, andthe Senate’s top Republican haswarned it could be spring beforeCongress begins considering anygun legislation.Obama has said that his efforts

on guns can be successful only if hehas the support of the public, andadvocates who attendedWednesday’s Biden meeting saidpart of the White House messagewas for participants to spread theword and keep up pressure onWashington.“They have made clear that

they’re in this for the long haul andthey want us to be in this for thelong haul,” said Dan Gross, presi-

dent of the Brady Campaign toPrevent Gun Violence.Advocates participating in

Wednesday’s meeting, some ofwhom have been critical ofObama’s silence on guns in thepast, said they were optimistic thatthe president and Biden are com-mitted to the effort this timearound.“I think it’s for real,” said Shira

Goodman, executive director ofCeaseFirePA.Biden also held a call with

Wednesday with more than 30 gov-ernors, mayors and other state andlocal officials to get their input onways to curb gun violence.For Biden,Thursday will bring a

tougher audience when the NRAjoins a meeting at the White Housealong with other gun-owner groupsand retailers including Wal-Mart.NRA officials didn’t return mes-sages for comment Wednesday butthe group’s executive vice presi-dent, Wayne LaPierre, has dis-missed the assault weapons ban as“a phony piece of legislation” andhas recommended putting armedguards in all schools as a way tostop another school shooting.

Pierce, 46, of Fletcher,allegedly took fuel from theFletcher Fire Departmentand fire department offi-cials later installed a con-cealed security camera toconduct surveillance on thefuel tanks.Pierce was observed on

the security footage withhis personal vehicles — aJeep and a truck — up tothe tank and dispensingfuel on Dec. 25, 2012.A member of the volun-

teer department hadtracked the fuel records forthe tank and reviewed thegauge.It was found that at

least 18 gallons of fuel hadbeen pumped into Pierce’spersonal vehicles at thetime.According to interview

statements, Pierce admit-ted to dispensing fuel fromthe fire department tanks.Pierce stated it was a longstanding practice thatdepartment officers coulduse fuel as long as theusage involved mattersbeneficial to the depart-ment.Pierce said he attended

trainings, picked up partsand other errands for thatfuel he had used. FletcherVolunteer Fire Departmentofficers told sheriff officedetectives there was noreason a fire departmentmember needed to dis-pense department fuel intoa personal vehicle in theamount of fuel Pierce haddispensed.Records state that the

Fletcher Fire Department’streasurer questioned aNAPA Auto Parts purchasetotalling $94.18. Piercesubmitted a false invoicefor payment indicating oiland anti-freeze were pur-chased for the department.Records show the pur-

chase was for parts forPierce’s personal vehicleswith the department’saccount in November 2012.In the statement, Pierce

identified his handwriting

for oil and anti-freeze indi-cating the NAPA invoicewas for the department,although the detailedbilling indicated that partswere purchased for a 2001Dodge truck and a 2001Jeep. Pierce admitted thathe filed a false document tocover his wrongful acquisi-tion for the parts.Pierce also lives in a

home owned by the firedepartment and recordsstate he does not pay rentfor the use of the property.The home needed a new

oven and money wasapproved for the purchasefor $1,549 from Lowe’s. Theoven was purchased onNov. 28.The oven then went on

sale and Pierce obtainedthe $154.90 in cash for thedifference on Dec. 12 fromLowe’s and did not returnthe money to the depart-ment.Pierce said he intended

to return the money, but ameeting had not yetoccurred allowing him todo so. Sheriff ’s detectivesinformed Pierce a meetinghad occurred.Pierce then indicated

that problems hadoccurred regarding theinstallation of the oven inthe home. Further, he saidthat he was maintainingthe money in case the ovenhad to be returned or topay for additional wiring.In November 2010,

Scott Pence stepped downas the Fletcher FireDepartment chief after 30years. Pierce assumed thefire chief position in March2011.DeWeese is now acting

as chief for the volunteerdepartment with morethan 23 members until aspecial election will beheld.“This does not damage

operation of the depart-ment at all,” DeWeeseassured the community.“We’ll continue to move for-ward and the communityshould see no difference inour services.”

Municipal ManagerMatt Kline mentioned thatMilton-Union Schools willbe removing the corner-stone of the former highschool building at 10 a.m.Saturday.

At the heart of this proj-ect will be the unveiling of atime capsule that wasburied in 1939 when theschool first opened.

“It’s going to be realinteresting,” said councilmember Scott Fogle, who isan alumnus of Milton-Union Schools.

While what’s in itremains a mystery to many,Kline and others assumethat items such as newspa-pers and photos will befound inside.

The capsule will beopened at halftime at theschool’s varsity boys’ bas-ketball game on Feb. 9.

According to Kline, whowas at the meeting as well,the actual project’s con-struction has been movedback up to winter or springof 2014 as a result of thework of Coate.

The Commercial Appeal, Memphis, Tenn.,on cancer drug shortages:

Disgraceful. That’s the best description of the findings releasedrecently that show unnecessary and damaging shortages of somecancer-treating drugs have led to relapses among some kids fight-ing cancer at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and elsewhere.

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

A St. Jude investigator, Dr. Monika Metzger, led a blue-ribbonteam from Stanford University School of Medicine and Boston’sDana-Farber Cancer Institute, among others, in a study of whathappens to children who lose access to a certain cancer-fightingdrug and have to shift to substitute drugs during treatment.

Often, the results are shocking. The children get much sicker.They suffer from more severe side effects. Sometimes their cancerreturns.

And it doesn’t have to be that way. Stronger regulation and over-sight of drug supplies, plus better product andinventory management by private drug manu-facturers, could fix this problem.

That kids are suffering needlessly because ofglitches in our drug manufacturing processes isunacceptable.

Portland (Maine) Press Herald on thefederal wind energy tax credit:

For decades America has had a bipartisanenergy policy that promoted domestic energysources that reduce our dependence on foreignoil.

Oil and gas companies take advantage of fed-eral incentives to tap into sources that wouldotherwise be too expensive.

There would be no American nuclear powerindustry if not for federal loan guarantees.

But unless Congress acts, one form of domes-tic energy would lose its federal subsidy and beforced into an impossible competition in a mar-ketplace where all its competitors have an edge.

That would be a big mistake.Wind energy is an emerging technology that

has the potential to be a clean alternative, less-ening our need to burn coal and other fossil fuels.

The federal tax credit supports the growth of adomestic manufacturing industry and a source ofelectricity with no fuel costs. And by keeping prices competitive, itlets the wind industry develop at a time when recent discoveriesand techniques have made natural gas prices drop dramatically.Low cost natural gas does not make the need for renewable powerdisappear. We still need to take advantage of multiple sources ofenergy, and while gas is cleaner than coal, it’s still a source of car-bon pollution that contributes to global warning.

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

If we are serious about developing domestic energy, we shouldlook beyond a single source, even if, like gas, the source is plentifuland relatively inexpensive.

Congress should support clean energy and jobs and extend thewind energy tax credit.

I’m a quitter.Always have been, really. With

the exception of college (momwouldn’t let me quit) and this job(can’t afford to quit), I’ve quit justabout everything I’ve ever start-ed. From sports to clubs to every-thing in between, I’ve never foundan activity I couldn’t give up on.When the going gets tough, I getgoing — in the opposite direction.

The first time I quit somethingwas in the fourth grade, when Istopped playing little league base-ball because I was afraid of get-ting hit by a pitch. In the seventhgrade, I quit soccer because Ithought the coach was “too mean.”The next time I quit somethingwas in the eighth grade, when Iquit the wrestling team because Ididn’t enjoy grueling physicalworkouts that still led to me get-ting pinned in every match Iwrestled. After starring in a pairof junior high plays — and thor-oughly enjoying them both times— I quit drama in the ninthgrade because I was afraid theywere going to make me sing inpublic (this, as it turns out,turned out to be a public servicefor everyone).

I’ve always wondered if my lifewould have turned out differenthad I not been such a quitter.While I’m pretty sure I wouldn’thave been a Major LeagueBaseball player, Olympic wrestleror Broadway actor had I actuallystuck with any of those things, Iprobably would have at leastlearned some pretty valuable les-

sons about sticking things outand persevering through thetough times.

I’ve never been proud of beinga quitter.

Until now, that is.Twenty-one years ago, I

smoked my first cigarette. I sup-pose I started smoking for thesame reason most people startsmoking — let’s face it, it makesyou look really cool. I remember Iwas cruising Piqua with some ofmy friends — four of us crammedinto a Ford Escort — and decidedall the girls would swoon if we allstarted smoking. Needless to say,the ladies didn’t find us any moreattractive once we started smok-ing than they had before.

That, however, wasn’t enoughto stop me from smoking. I wouldspend the next two decades smok-ing off and on to various degrees. Ismoked a lot of cigarettes in col-lege — mostly because prettymuch everyone smokes in college.College is essentially about mak-ing a series of not particularlywell thought out decisions, I’ve

found.Once I graduated from college

and entered the work force, Iwould quit smoking off and on,depending on the level of stress atmy job. I had been a non-smokeruntil I got promoted from assis-tant sports editor to sports editor.With a new set of responsibilitiesand pressures, I returned to smok-ing. I would quit again — until Igot promoted from sports editor toexecutive editor, at which point Istarted puffing away.

I was mostly a work and socialsmoker. In fact, most people out-side of our office never knew Iwas a smoker. I went more than adecade without my wife knowingI smoked cigarettes. But when Iwas working — and working hard— I would smoke like a chimney.The worst was always duringfootball season. I would smokebefore interviewing players andcoaches, after interviewing play-ers and coaches, driving to games,driving home from games and inbetween writing football stories.

If it was football season inTroy, I was smoking. During Troy-Piqua week, it wasn’t uncommonfor me to go through an entirepack in a work day.

All of that came to an end lastfall, however. I’ll never forgetSept. 22, 2012. I was covering theTroy vs. Miamisburg footballgame. Thanks to traffic, I hadarrived late at the game and hadto run up a flight of stairs to getto the pressbox. When I got to thetop, I was completely out of

breath. Needless to say, this con-cerned me.

So stressed out was I by theevent that I worried about it theentire way home fromMiamisburg. So I did what I nor-mally did when I felt under pres-sure — I smoked cigarettes.(Makes sense, I know). While fill-ing up my car at a gas station onthe way home, I had a moment ofclarity.

Smoking cigarettes was mak-ing it difficult to run up a flight ofstairs! The surgeon general hadbeen right all along — smokingreally was bad for me! At thatmoment, I pulled the pack of ciga-rettes from my pocket and threwthem in the gas station garbagecan.

I haven’t looked back since. Nogum, no patch, no drugs — just aburning desire to live longer andwatch my kids grow up. Not onlydo I no longer smoke cigarettes, Irarely have the desire to do soanymore.

Since quitting, I’ve found mylife has changed in many ways.No longer do I feel like I have tokeep a secret from my family andfriends. I can run further andfaster than I ever have before. Myclothes don’t smell bad anymore(or at least don’t smell as badanymore).

Turns out quitting isn’t alwaysa bad thing.

At its first meeting ofthe new year, city councildiscussed one of the biggestconstruction projects of2013: the replacement ofdowntown utilities and thereconstruction of MainStreet.Council voted last

month to expand the down-town utilities replacementprogram to include astreetscape project. Inaddition to new water andsewer lines the project willnow include new curbs,gutters, and sidewalks;new trees, trash cans, andbenches; as well as newstreetlights and traffic sig-nals.During the pre-meeting

study session, councilreviewed the preliminarydesign for the reconstruc-tion and enhancement ofMain Street. The new plansshow slightly narrowerdriving lanes and widersidewalks with decorativebrick enhancements atstreet corners and alongcurbs.“We’re going to narrow

the street up a little bit andprovide more pedestrianaccess,” Crusey explained.Currently, Main Street

is about 52 feet wide fromcurb to curb. The sidewalksare nearly 12 feet wide andthe driving lanes are 17and a half feet wide, muchwider than the typical 12foot lane.The plan is to narrow

Main Street to 45 feetacross, with 14 foot drivinglanes and 8 feet on bothsides for parallel parking.The sidewalks will be 15and a half feet wide, withbrick borders and newtrees and street lights.According to City

Engineer Scott Vagedes,narrowing the street andwidening the sidewalkswill slow vehicle trafficslightly while encouragingmore pedestrian trafficdowntown.Following the decision

to expand the DowntownUtilities Project to include

Main Street’s reconstruc-tion in December, city offi-cials met with downtownbusiness owners. Accordingto City Manager JonCrusey, the city’s plansreceived “nearly unani-mous approval” from thedowntown business ownerswho attended the meeting.Crusey said that he has

not received any negativefeedback about the projectand Councilman Pat Halesaid that most people hehas talked to seem “veryexcited.”The addition of the

street reconstruction andenhancement to theDowntown Utilities Projectwill require an extra 60days or so of engineeringdesign work, but construc-tion is expected to beginearly this summer and bemostly complete by mid-November.The construction will

likely begin at First Streetand be completed abouttwo blocks at a time.

Recognition ofserviceDuring the meeting, two

firefighters were recog-nized for their 40 years ofvolunteer service to TippCity. Assistant Fire ChiefBob Steggeman andFirefighter Steve Stockerboth joined the departmentin 1972. Steggemanbecame the assistant chiefin 1998 and serves as pres-ident of the Miami CountyFire Chiefs. Stocker is acertified fire inspector andhaz-mat technician andthree generations of hisfamily are members of thefire department, includinghis son-in-law and hisgrandson.Mayor Dee Gillis pre-

sented both firefighterswith proclamations con-gratulating them for theiryears of service. Many ofthe city’s volunteer fire-fighters attended the meet-ing in uniform to support

LUNCH MENUS

Dear Readers: The conven-ience of a dishwasher is undeni-able. However, loading the dish-washer is always a topic ofdebate! Here are some hints fromthe manufacturers about the cor-rect way to do it:

• If you are not running thedishwasher right away, be sure topre-rinse.

• Load plates and bowls withthe serving surface facing thewater spray.

• Be careful when placing long-handled utensils in the dishwash-er — they can catch in the dish-washer swing arm and preventdishes from getting clean.

• Forks and spoons should bealternated right side up and

upside down to prevent nesting.• Do not place glasses or mugs

on the tines. Place them betweenthe tines, according to most man-uals! Yes, I know most of us placethem over the tines!

• Flat pans and cookie sheetsshould be placed around the sidesof the bottom rack so they don’tblock the water spray.

Read your dishwasher’s manu-al, or check online, to learn thebest way to use your machine. Ifyou’re not sure about puttingsomething (wooden bowls, wood-handled knives or crystal) in thedishwasher, then wash it by hand.— Heloise

SECURED PURSEDear Heloise: I read your pre-

vious column on securing yourpurse in the shopping cart at thegrocery store (Heloise here: in thechild seat with the seatbeltstraps). I found that when I putmine in the cart, under the childseat, the belt reaches it, and it issafer than in the child seat. Thepurse also is not as easy to reachinto. It makes me feel safer. —

Shirley H. in New YorkShirley, this is an ongoing

topic! Even though your way does“hide” and secure your purse, it’sstill possible for a thief to get intoit and grab your wallet. —Heloise

HANGING SCARVESDear Heloise: I have quite a

few of the popular long scarves,and finding one readily in a draw-er became a problem. I had extrapants hangers, and the thoughthit me: Each hanger has four bars(for four pairs of pants) and ismade of plastic with a nonslipsurface. Each hanger can hold upto 12 scarves (unless they’reheavy). — Muriel W., Fair Oaks,Calif.

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

Dear Annie: Two years ago, Icaught my husband having anemotional affair with a friend ofours. Even though we wentthrough counseling and he told mehe was no longer in contact withher, he lied. He continued to lie foralmost a year, even during ourcounseling sessions. In one session,he tried to blame me for hisactions, and after six months, hestill refused to take any responsi-bility for the affair.

This whole thing has made menot trust him. I recently saw anemail to an ex-girlfriend from highschool. He said he wished he hadbeen a better person, and that hewould be looking for a woman likeher.

He says they were just reminisc-ing about the past. I believe he isup to his old ways. I know hewouldn't like it if the tables wereturned. Am I wrong to be upsetand ready to divorce him? —Disappointed and Heartbroken

Dear Disappointed: You aren'twrong to be upset, but whether ornot to divorce him is a more diffi-cult choice. Men often don't realizehow hurtful an emotional affaircan be. They don't understand thatit is still a betrayal, and conse-quently, they don't always do thenecessary work to heal the mar-riage from what they justify as aharmless flirtation.

Right now, your husband cannotbe trusted to be faithful or honest.He won't change unless he recog-nizes and admits that his behavioris wrong. Please go back to yourcounselor on your own and discusswhat you can live with, whetheryou believe your husband willgrow up anytime soon, and whatthe best course of action is for you.

Dear Annie: I am part of afamily business, and I work froman office in my home. I get dressedfor work every day, the same asthose who work outside the home.I am as important to our companyas everyone else. If I'm not in myoffice, I miss phone calls from cus-tomers, vendors and employeeswho have to wait for me to getback to take care of their needs.

I have siblings and an elderlymother who all live nearby.Because they think I "don't work,"I am the one called upon to takeMom to doctor appointments andrun errands for her. In addition, Iam asked by family and friends tocare for children who are homesick or cannot get to their regularchild care provider.

Taking time from my job putsme behind, and I often have towork evenings and weekends tocatch up.

These days, more and more peo-ple are working from home. Pleasetell others to be respectful. —Work-at-Home USA

Dear Work: Working fromhome often gives others theimpression that you don't actuallywork or that your time isn't thatimportant. And while it may giveyou more flexibility with yourhours, it is still the same numberof hours, which would requireworking evenings and weekends tomake up time spent doing otherthings during the day.

It would help for you to setboundaries. If you can manage todo these favors without resent-ment, go right ahead. But if youdon't want to babysit little Johnny,say, "So sorry, but I'm working andcan't take care of him. You'll haveto make other arrangements." Ifyou say it enough times, they willget it.

Dear Annie: This is in responseto "Never the Better Offer,"whose mother skips familygatherings because she wouldrather stay home by the phonewaiting for a better offer from apotential date.

If Mom does not have a cell-phone, they should give her one asa gift and pay for a year's service.

Then Mom will no longer havean excuse for missing out withfamily and friends, because shewill still get her calls and can easi-ly arrange for a short-notice date.— Mollie

HOROSCOPEBY FRANCES DRAKE

A whole brand newyear lies ahead. What doesit have in store for us all?Only God knows, so let usput our trust in Him. Ihope everyone had a great,safe holiday. We had a verynice holiday after the flubug finally left our house.

Christmas Day wasspent here at home.Elizabeth’s friend Timothyand Susan’s friend Mosejoined us for the day. Itwas a memorable dayplaying games and justbeing together as a family.

Our thoughts andprayers went out to theones missing family mem-bers this holiday sea-son.They are missed evenmore during the specialholiday time.

I put a breakfast casse-role in the oven to heatwhile everyone openedtheir gifts. Days like thatgo way too fast.

Sunday we had theannual Christmas potluckdinner after church servic-es. As always, there wasmore than enough food.Daughter Loretta madecupcakes and frosted anddecorated them to takealong.

Monday evening Jacob,Emma and family came inhonor of Joe’s birthday,which was Dec. 22. Joegrilled chicken and hotwings while I made scal-loped potatoes. We alsofroze homemade ice cream

for our dessert and Emmabrought donuts.

Jacob, Emma, and fam-ily, Timothy and Mose alsospent New Year’s Dayhere. We had a brunchwhich was a “breakfasthaystack.” Our breakfasthaystack menu was bis-cuits cut into bite sizedpieces, scrambled eggs,fried potatoes, choppedbacon, diced ham, shred-ded cheese, green peppers,diced tomatoes, dicedonion, cheese sauce, salsa,hot peppers and sausagegravy.

After dishes werewashed, we exchangedgifts with Emma andJacob’s family. We had aname exchange, which wasinteresting to see who allhad who.

Then everyone wentsledding in our hayfieldexcept for Jacob, Joe,Emma and I. We stayed inthe warm house andplayed board games.Timothy had a sled tied

behind his pony and gavesome pretty fast ridesaround the hay field. Itlooked liked it was a chal-lenge to stay on the sledwhen he took some fastcurves.

They also had fun slid-ing down the hill in thesled. The snow made somenice gliding downhill.When they were all tiredfrom sledding they cameback in to warm up. We set

snacks out for everyone.Emma brought a lot ofsnacks too. I heated up theleftover chicken and wingsfrom the evening before.The rest of the afternoonwas spent playing games.

Daughter Elizabethwent back to work at thefactory on Wednesday. Thechildren go back to schoolon Monday. Husband Joewill head back to work atthe factory, also on

Monday.Daughter Susan has

two more ponies here totrain. One is a little minia-ture pony and the other isa bigger sized pony likeour pony Stormy.

Her friend Mose’s dadgave Susan the pony tokeep for her own. She isexcited and eager to trainher.

Benjamin and Susanhave the pony, which isnamed Roxy, hitched to thepony cart now for the firsttime. It always makes mea little nervous until shehas the ponies going good.

Benjamin, 13, enjoyshelping her train theponies. Jacob, Emma andfamily went to Berne, Ind.to have Christmas withJacobs’ family. While therethey stopped in to say “hi”to brother Amos, Nancyand family. Amos sent

along a roll of his home-made summer sausage hemade. It was very goodand disappeared quite fastaround here. We appreciat-ed it very much.

Hitting their strideBY JOSH BROWN

Sports Editorjbrown@tdnpublishing.com

Saturday, Tippecanoe didn’t let an ugly loss toCarroll keep it down.Wednesday, the Red Devils showed no signs of

a hangover after their big win over rival KentonRidge.Tippecanoe (7-6) locked down a tough Greenon

team on the defensive end, forcing a whopping 36turnovers and allowinga mere 10 field goals ina 57-31 Central BuckeyeConference crossover victory over the Mad RiverDivision-leading Knights Wednesday at PatWampler Gymnasium.It was the Devils’ fifth win in their last six

games, with the 62-44 loss to Carroll the onlyblemish.“We’ve been working hard on the defensive

end, and it finally paid off,” Tippecanoe coachAaron Jackson said. “After the Carroll game, weknew that was what we were going to have to do.“Holding Greenon (which averages 52 points

per game) to 31? That’s a big win for us.”And even after Saturday’s hard-fought 80-73

victory over long-time Kenton Trail Division rivalKenton Ridge, there was no way the Devils were

Cheats need not applyNEW YORK (AP) — Keep all

the cheaters out of our club.That was the prevailing senti-

ment from several baseball Hallof Famers who were happy to seeBarry Bonds, Roger Clemens andSammy Sosa excluded from theCooperstown fraternityWednesday.“I’m kind of glad that nobody

got in this year,” former DetroitTigers outfielder Al Kaline said.“I feel honored to be in the Hallof Fame. And I would’ve felt a lit-tle uneasy sitting up there on thestage, listening to some of thesenew guys talk about how greatthey were.”Goose Gossage went even fur-

ther — he often does.“I think the steroids guys that

are under suspicion got too many

votes,” he said. “I don’t know whythey’re making this such a ques-tion and why there’s so muchdebate. To me, they cheated. Arewe going to reward these guys?”Not this year, at least.Baseball writers pitched a

Hall of Fame shutout for 2013,failing to elect anyone for onlythe second time in 42 years.Among those rejected were a trioof steroid-tainted stars in Bonds,Clemens and Sosa, all eligible forthe first time.Bonds received just 36.2 per-

cent of the vote and Clemens37.6 in results announced by theHall and the Baseball Writers’Association of America, both wellshort of the 75 percent needed

AP FILE PHOTOSan Francisco Giants’ Barry Bonds reacts to flying out in St. LouisJuly 8, 2007. With the cloud of steroids shrouding many candida-cies, baseball writers failed for the only the second time in morethan four decades to elect anyone to the Hall of FameWednesday.

going to allow for a let-down.“We took it in stride. We

always take it in stride,”Jackson said. “AfterSaturday’s game, we hand-ed out scouting reports forGreenon. And tonight, we’lldo the same for Stebbins.”And if winning is a puz-

zle, the Devils are puttingall of the pieces in place.Freshman Carly

Clodfelter — getting hersecond consecutive start —led Tippecanoe in scoringwith 17 points and fiverebounds, sophomoreHalee Printz led the Devilsin a little of everythingwith 16 points, sevenrebounds and six assistsand senior Erica Comer,who also added sevenpoints and seven rebounds,led the defensive effort byguarding the Knights’ lead-ing scorer.“We’ve challenged Erica

in the last three games toguard the other team’s bestplayer,” Jackson said. “Shemay not be scoring, butshe’s been big for us ondefense. And Halee’s just agood all-around player.When you need her to getan assist or to hit a bigshot, she can do either. Andshe’s a good distributor.She draws a lot of atten-tion, which creates chancesfor everyone else.“Still, we’d been starting

games off too slow, so wedecided that, no offense toanyone, we’d try somethinga little different. We had to

find ways not to get into ahole early. If it didn’t work,we’d try something else.But with this new lineup,we’ve started these lasttwo games off a lot better.”Printz and Clodfelter

combined for 11 of theDevils’ first 13 points, help-ing Tippecanoe take a com-manding 15-6 lead afterone. Clodfelter then scoredthe first five of the secondquarter as the Devils wentup 20-6 — and they neverled by less than double dig-its again.The Knights’ leading

scorer Jenna Robertson

only managed two pointsby halftime, getting most ofher team-high 10 pointsafter Comer was subbedout once the lead wasbeyond 20.Next up for the Devils is

a CBC Kenton Trail roadmatchup at StebbinsSaturday.“We’re really starting to

hit our stride a little bit,”Jackson said.

Hall of Famefor election — yet still tooclose for Gossage’s taste.Sosa, eighth on the careerhome run list, got 12.5percent.“Wow! Baseball writers

make a statement,” Hallof Fame reliever DennisEckersley wrote onTwitter. “Feels right.”The results keep the

sport’s career home runleader (Bonds) and mostdecorated pitcher(Clemens) out ofCooperstown — at leastfor now. Bonds, Clemensand Sosa have up to 14more years on the writers’ballot to gain baseball’shighest honor.“If they let these guys

in ever — at any point —it’s a big black eye for theHall and for baseball,”Gossage said in a phoneinterview with TheAssociated Press. “It’s liketelling our kids you cancheat, you can do whatev-er you want, and it’s notgoing to matter.”Bonds, baseball’s only

seven-time MVP, hit 762home runs — including arecord 73 in 2001. He hasdenied knowingly usingperformance-enhancingdrugs and was convictedof one count of obstructionof justice for giving anevasive answer in 2003 toa grand jury investigating

PEDs.Clemens, the game’s

lone seven-time Cy YoungAward winner, is third incareer strikeouts (4,672)and ninth in wins (354).He was acquitted of per-jury charges stemmingfrom congressional testi-mony during which hedenied using PEDs.“If you don’t think

Roger Clemens cheated,you’re burying your headin the sand,” Gossagesaid.Sosa, who finished

with 609 home runs, wasamong those who testedpositive in MLB’s 2003anonymous survey, TheNew York Times reportedin 2009. He told a con-gressional committee in2005 that he never tookillegal performance-enhancing drugs.“What really gets me is

seeing how some of theseplayers associated withdrugs have jumped overmany of the greats in ourgame,” Kaline said.“Numbers mean a lot inbaseball, maybe more sothan in any other sport.And going back to BabeRuth, and players likeHarmon Killebrew andFrank Robinson andWillie Mays, seeing peoplejump over them with 600,700 home runs, I don’tlike to see that.”

RG3 optimistic after surgeryWASHINGTON (AP) —

If Adrian Peterson can doit, maybe Robert Griffin IIIcan, too.Peterson set an incredi-

ble standard this seasonfor NFL players returningfrom major knee surgery,nearly breaking the NFLsingle-season rushingrecord. Griffin need looknowhere else for an inspi-ration as the WashingtonRedskins quarterbackbegins the road back froman operationWednesday ontwo ligaments in his rightknee.“I think it gives motiva-

tion to everyone,” said RussPaine, a physical therapistin Houston who workedwith the Peterson as theMinnesota Vikings run-ning back went throughrehab.Griffin had his lateral

collateral ligamentrepaired and his ACLreconstructed for a second

time. The surgery was per-formed in Florida by ortho-pedist James Andrews,who was optimistic thatGriffin would be back onthe field this fall.“We expect a full recov-

ery, and it is everybody’shope and belief that due toRobert’s high motivation,he will be ready for the2013 season,”Andrews saidin a statement released bythe Redskins. “The goal ofhis treatment is to give himthe best opportunity for along professional career.”But no two athletes —

or knee surgeries, for thatmatter — are exactly alike,so pinning down a date forGriffin’s return is an inex-act science. Complicatingmatters is that Griffin torethe ACL in the same kneein 2009 while playing forBaylor.University of Maryland

head team physician CraigBennett said football play-

ers typically need seven to11 months to return from asecond ACL reconstruction,but that it often takes up toa year for the ligament tobe fully healed.“Typically your first sea-

son back from an ACLreconstruction, there’s atendency to have somestruggles from time totime,” Bennett said.That’s what made

Peterson so remarkable.He tore an ACL in lateDecember 2011 and wasthe league’s best back in2012.Paine said Peterson’s

focus and intensity inrehab and natural athleticgifts made the quick recov-ery possible. Many sayGriffin has those samequalities, and he wassounding an upbeat toneon Twitter even before thesurgery began earlyWednesday morning.“Thank you for your

prayers and support. I loveGod, my family, my team,the fans, & I love thisgame. See you guys nextseason,” Griffin tweeted.While Griffin heals, the

debate will continue as towhether he should havebeen on the field when hehurt the knee for a finaltime in the fourth quarterSunday’s playoff loss to theSeattle Seahawks.Griffin reinjured his

knee in the first quarterand was obviously hobbled,but he stayed in the gameafter convincing coachMike Shanahan that allwas OK.“People can limp

around; people can be hurt-ing,” Hall of Fame quarter-back and ESPN analystSteve Young saidWednesday. “Some of thegreat John Wayne herothings that have ever hap-pened in football happenedbecause people play hurt.”
