Report: Iran upgrading nukesVIENNA (AP) — In a disheart-
ening signal to world powers atupcoming Iran talks, Tehran hasstarted installing high-techmachines at its main uraniumenrichment site that are capableof accelerating production of reac-tor fuel and with further upgrad-
ing the core of nuclear warheads,diplomats said Wednesday.Iran already announced last
week that it had begun mountingthe new enriching centrifuges, butone diplomat said at the time thatthe announcement was prema-ture with only a “small number”
on site and not yet installed.Diplomats told The Associated
Press on Wednesday, however,that installation was now well onits way, with inspectors from theInternational Atomic EnergyAgency seeing close to 100 ormore machines mounted whenthey toured the site a few daysago.Depending on experts’ esti-
mates, the new-generation cen-trifuges can enrich uranium three
to five times faster than Iran’spresent working model.The Islamic Republic insists it
is not working on a nuclearweapons program, but rather isenriching uranium only to makereactor fuel and for scientific andmedical purposes as allowed byinternational law.But many nations are
suspicious because Iran went

MEXICO CITY (AP) —Officials in southern Mexicosay armed vigilantes havefreed the last of 42 peopledetained by townspeople onsuspicion of crimes ranging
from theft to extortion andmurder, marking whatauthorities hope will be anend to the growth of unregu-lated community “self-defense” groups. However,activists said Wednesdaythat vigilante groups may-hang on or grow, if authori-ties don’t guarantee publicsafety in the wave of drugcartel violence and commoncrime.The government of the
Pacific coast state ofGuerrero said the vigilantesbased in the town of Ayutlaturned 20 of the finaldetainees over to police. Itsaid the other 22 had beensuspected of lesser offensesand were released Tuesdaybecause the vigilantes con-sidered they had been suffi-ciently punished.
“The state governmentforesees that the release ofthese detainees closes achapter, and sets things onthe road to institutionalizingand regulating communitypolice forces,” the state gov-ernment said in a statement.The vigilantes’ leader did
not return calls seeking com-ment Wednesday.State officials hope the
vigilantes can be persuadedto join already-established“community police” forcesthat operate in someGuerrero towns, where resi-dents with some trainingand minimal uniforms per-form routine patrols andturn over suspects to townassemblies. Following localcustom, those assemblies trythe suspects and can imposesome sentences.

very seriously and areworking with city policeofficials and checking allthe leads,” Herman said.Troy High School
Principal William Overlasaid attendance at thehigh school was “prettyconsistent” and were aver-age for a typical schoolday.Bathrooms around the
school were closed andother security measureswere made, but no otheralterations were madeduring the school day.A teacher informed
Fellers of the threat writ-ten on a wall in the boys’bathroom at approximate-ly 12:40 p.m. Tuesday. Thethreat follows five similarthreats found, three atTippecanoe High Schooland two at TippecanoeMiddle School, whichbegan last week.

pursuit of the other note writers,”Graham said. “It’s an understatementthat there’s a tremendous amount of pres-sure to get this solved.”Graham said that for the first few days
since the threatening school notes startedto appear, nobody was talking. Since theWednesday arrest, the floodgates haveopened and leads are coming into thepolice.Tipp City Schools Superintendent Dr.
John Kronour noted that suspension andrecommendation for expulsion of both stu-dents will be “forthcoming.”“I would like to thank the Tipp Police
Department,” he said, “They’ve done anawesome job leading this charge andkeeping kids safe.”Neither student has given a reason for
their actions, although Kronour said the
threats did not appear to be valid.“I don’t want to say a prank or hoax,
but it is not something that was likelygoing to be carried out,” he said.Since the notes began Feb. 13, there
have been three at the high school andtwo at the middle school. Troy CitySchools and Fairborn also have hadinstances of threatening notes this week.“Hopefully the arrests today will help
that (note writing) stop,” Kronour said,“Once students see the consequences,we’re hoping that helps put a stop to thisin Tipp City and other schools.”There still is a $1,000 reward for infor-
mation that leads to the prosecution ofindividuals responsible for writing themessages.Anyone with leads or information
about the other perpetrators’ identities isasked to contact Sgt. Chris Graham at(937) 667-3112.

underground after failing to getinternational help for its urani-um enrichment program in the1980s, working secretly until itsactivities were revealed adecade ago.More recent proposals for inter-national shipments of reactorfuel in exchange for Iranianenrichment concessions havefoundered, with each side blam-ing the other.Shrugging off demands to
mothball enrichment and grow-ing international sanctions Iranhas instead vastly expanded theprogram to where experts say italready has enough enricheduranium for several weapons ifthe material is further enriched.The start of the centrifuge
upgrade at Natanz, Iran’s mainenrichment site southeast ofTehran, flies in the face of world-power efforts to induce Iran toscale back on enrichment. Assuch, it is likely to hurt chancesof progress at Feb. 26 talks inKazakhstan between the twosides adding to a string of nego-tiating failures.When Iran announced its
intentions last month, Westerndiplomats downplayed theproclamation’s significance, not-ing Tehran did not say when itwould start populating Natanzwith the new machines. But anystart of an upgrade is sure toincrease international concerns,
particularly if verified as expect-ed in an IAEA report later thisweek.The three diplomats speaking
to the AP on Wednesday all areinvolved in the Vienna-basedIAEA’s attempts to monitorIran’s nuclear program. Theydemanded anonymity becausethey were not allowed to discussconfidential information.Meeting Iran in Kazakhstan
are the United States, Russia,China, Britain, France andGermany.Russia and China often are at
odds with the West on howharshly Iran’s nuclear activitiesshould be censured, and RussianForeign Minister Sergei Lavrovsaid recently that Iran was with-in its legal rights to install newgeneration centrifuges.At the same time, he called
for a suspension of uraniumenrichment during negotiationsto improve the political atmos-phere.While moving to increase the
potency of its enrichment pro-gram with the new centrifuges,however, Tehran also has recent-ly resumed converting some ofits higher-level enriched urani-um at its Fordo enrichment siteinto reactor fuel plates after sus-pending the activity last year.That is likely to provide some
reassurance to nations con-cerned about Iran’s nuclear aimsbecause the plates are difficultto reconvert back into weapons
usable material.About 700 of the old machines
at Fordo are churning out high-er-enriched material that is stillbelow but just a technical stepaway from weapons-grade ura-nium. Iran says it needs thathigher-enriched level to fuel aresearch reactorWith higher-enriched urani-
um their immediate concern, thesix powers over the past monthshave inched toward meetingIranian demands of sanctionsrelief but say Tehran must firstsuspend its output at Fordo.Iran, in turn, wants sanctionseased before it commits to evena discussion of an enrichmentcutback.The diplomats said Iran was
also upgrading its enrichmentcapabilities at Fordo butdeclined to provide furtherdetails ahead of the release ofthe IAEA report.In first revealing plans to
update last month, Iran indicat-ed that It could add more than3,000 of the new-generation cen-trifuges to the more than 10,000older models it has at Natanzturning out enriched uranium atgrades lower than at Fordo.The lower the grade, the
harder it would be to turn intoweapons-grade material.Olli Heinonen, the former
IAEA deputy director general incharge of Iran, told the AP lastweek that Iran could install3,000 or more of the high-tech
centrifuges at Natanz within sixto nine months, assuming thatTehran had the material tomake the machines.Iran, in its dealings both with
the six powers and the IAEA,has continually acted as if itwere in the position of strength.On Saturday, Ayatollah AliKhamenei, Iran’s SupremeLeader, asserted that his coun-try was not seeking nuclearweapons, but that if Tehranintended to build them, “the U.S.could in no way stop the Iraniannation.”David Albright, whose
Institute for Science andInternational Security is asource for the U.S. governmenton proliferation issues, saidIran’s hopes that the new cen-trifuges could strengthen itshand at the Kazakhstan talkscould backfire.“Given the low expectations
for negotiations during the nextseveral months, Iran risks giv-ing the impression to the Westthat it is racing to the bombrather than strengthening itsnegotiating position,” he saidWednesday.But analyst Yousaf Butt, pro-
fessor and scientist-in-residenceat the Monterey Institute ofInternational Studies, said thatwith Iran legally entitled toenrich the six powers first“should consider rolling backsome sanctions” if they wantIran to respond.

The Pueblo (Colo.)Chieftain on Pope
Benedict’s decision to stepdown:
The decision by PopeBenedict XVI to retire at theend of this month shockedmany Catholics — and evennon-Catholics — around theworld.But the pontiff ’s decision is
entirely in keeping with hisbeliefs. He laid the groundworkfor the decision years ago, say-ing popes have the obligationto resign if they can’t carry on.When he was elected the
265th pope on April 19, 2005 atage 78, he was the oldest popeelected in 275 years and the
first German one in nearly1,000 years. As of Feb. 28, hewill become the first pope toresign since 1415.One of his most popular acts
was his beatification of hispredecessor, John Paul II, inrecord time, drawing 1.5 mil-lion people to Rome in 2011 towitness the late pontiff ’s movea step closer to sainthood.Conservatives cheered his
championing of the pre-VaticanII church and his insistence ontradition, even if it cost thechurch popularity among liber-als. Benedict favored Massesheavy in Latin and the brocad-ed silk vestments of his prede-cessors.
It has been obvious to allthat the pope has slowed downsignificantly in recent years,cutting back his foreign traveland limiting his audiences. Henow goes to and from the altarin St. Peter’s Basilica on a mov-ing platform to spare him thelong walk down the aisle.Occasionally, he uses a cane.The telescope of history like-
ly will determine how impor-tant Benedict XVI has been tothe direction of the CatholicChurch. Meanwhile, we extendour good will to the manyCatholics who live in SouthernColorado on the news that thecurrent papacy is about toexpire.
DOONESBURY
At the very worst, the threats made against local schools, sevenin the past week within the Troy and Tipp City School districts, arethe acts of sick people who have all-too-real intentions of doingphysical harm to teachers, faculty and fellow students.Even in the best-case scenario — and let’s hope we are looking at
a best-case scenario — they are the acts of children who think thisis some sort of joke.If this is supposed to be a joke — and again, pray that’s all this is
— nobody is laughing.Since Feb. 13, a total of seven threatening notes or messages —
four at Tippecanoe High School, one at Tippecanoe Middle Schooland one each at Troy High School and Troy Junior High School —have been found in boys restrooms within the two districts. So far,three suspects have been arrested and, according to school and lawenforcement officials within the two communities,more are believed to be involved in the crimes.And — no matter the final intentions by the
parties involved — that’s exactly what these havebeen. Crimes. Not pranks. Not hoaxes. Not jokes.These are crimes that have caused unnecessaryturmoil and panic within the two communities —and for that, all guilty parties should be punishedto the fullest extent of the law.The depth of the depravity of these actions has
been far reaching and touched nearly every mem-ber of both normally idyllic communities. Bothschool and law enforcement officials have beenforced to treat each and every threat as if theintentions of the authors are the worst scenarioimaginable. No one wants to see another tragedysuch as those witnessed at Columbine HighSchool and Sandy Hook Elementary School.That creates unnecessary work for school and
law enforcement officials. Those measures do notcome free.Much more than any of that, however, it cre-
ates something else — something far worse andmore costly in the grand scheme of things.It creates fear.Students no longer can feel completely safe in
the school environment. No student should everhave to feel as though their lives could be endangered by attendingschool. Parents face a similar dilemma. Do they risk sending theirchildren to school and having them walk into a possible line of fire?Or, by the same token, do they let the fear-mongers win by notallowing their children to attend school?It’s a dilemma no parents should ever have to face.It’s not any easier for school administrators. They are forced into
a situation in which they are trying to keep the educational processas normal as possible — nearly impossible, given the circumstances— while at the same time ensuring the safety of everyone.Nobody wins in such situations.If this is a situation of a kid hoping to cause others serious physi-
cal harm, hopefully he or she will get the necessary help immediate-ly, before anyone gets hurt. If this is a case of someone trying to pulla joke on the rest of us, take a good look around.Nobody is laughing.

Perhaps the only thing harderthan trying to find a needle in ahaystack is trying to fit a boulderin a teacup.Later this evening local media
members and historians will meetwith the Troy High School AthleticHall of Fame Committee as it con-tinues in its attempts to puttogether the inaugural Troy athlet-ic hall of fame.I’m not sure I’m going to be of
much help.Not for lack of knowledge or
candidates, mind you — quite theopposite. In more than a century oforganized high school athletics,Troy has put together a rich histo-ry that would rival most schools ofits size throughout the state ofOhio. Across every varsity sport, ithas sent dozens upon dozens ofathletes to compete at the colle-giate level, along with several pro-fessional athletes. It also has pro-duced hundreds, if not thousands,of high school athletes who —while maybe choosing not to pur-sue an athletic career at the nextlevel — were amongst the verybest at what they did while atTroy.The easy thing to do would be
to make the inaugural hall of fameclass number in the dozens. Thatwould not, however, be the rightthing to do. This first class shouldbe something truly special. The
committee will never get a secondchance to induct a first class —and it has to make sure it does itright.I’ll give my best advice — but
I’m not sure there is a rightanswer. How do you possibly nar-row down hundreds of worthy can-didates into a class of between 5-10?Good luck with that. I’m not
even sure I could figure out whichfive football players I would induct— let alone five football, volleyball,soccer, cross country, golf, tennis,basketball, wrestling, swimming,bowling, gymnastics, hockey, base-ball, softball or track and field ath-letes I would induct.I am, however, willing to take a
stab at it — the football part, thatis. I am going to try to build a“Mount Rushmore” of Troy HighSchool football (note: not literally).If I could only pick four people to
best represent Troy football andmore than 100 years of legendsand lore, my thought processwould go a little something likethis …The first three choices are, in
my humble opinion, set in stone(Get it? Stone? Mount Rushmore?)Bob Ferguson, Ryan Brewer
and Kris Dielman — in no particu-lar order — all have to be there.Ferguson was a two-time All-
American at The Ohio StateUniversity, won the MaxwellAward and finished as theHeisman Trophy runner-up in avote that still bothers me morethan 50 years after it took place(compare Ferguson’s numbers as asenior to those of the Heismanwinner, Syracuse’s Ernie Davis, ifyou want to know why). More thanthat, he was a mythological figurewho became what future genera-tions of Troy football players wouldtry to emulate.Of course, nobody thought what
Ferguson accomplished as a run-ning back would ever be matcheduntil …… Brewer came along. Brewer
matched or surpassed all of thoserecords on his way to earning Mr.Football Ohio honors. LikeFerguson, he would inspire futuregenerations of Trojan football play-ers.Brewer’s teammate at Troy was
Dielman, who was a wreckingmachine who went on to becomean All-Pro player with the NFL’sSan Diego Chargers. He likelyearned his spot at Troy’s MountRushmore while still in highschool, but he absolutely cementedit as a pro.Which leaves one spot open.
Can I possibly separate the quar-terback-receiver tandem of TommyMyers and Tommy Vaughn? Is itfair to select Gordon Bell off a1971 team that may have beenamongst the best not only in schoolhistory, but in state history? Whatabout football coaches? Do I add aLou Juillerat, Jim Conard or SteveNolan?Truly, all of them would be good
choices. I couldn’t go wrong withany of them. Except, of course, forthe people who disagree with me.In their minds, any choice I makeis going to be the wrong one.With that in mind, I’ll go ahead
and select Bell, who would go on tobecome an All-America atMichigan and enjoy a brief NFLcareer. The difference betweenBell, Myers and Vaughn, however,is negligible. I made my choice andI’ll stick with it.Let the debate begin.

Lou Myers, Mr. Gaines on‘A Different World,’ dies
BY CECILIA FOXFor Civitas Media
Construction on theTipp City Fire andEmergency MedicalServices (EMS) station isscheduled to begin inApril, but between nowand then, the city has tofigure out where to housethe ambulances andemergency crews.While the office and
living spaces are demol-ished and replaced and anew bay is constructed tohouse the EMS equip-ment, the city’s emer-gency personnel will haveto find another buildingto work from.In order to keep the
emergency crews on thewest side of the traintracks — where theschools are located andwhere the majority ofTipp City residents live— the city may have todecide between leasing aspace or temporarilyhousing them in thepolice garage.According to City
Manager Jon Crusey,leasing a space for theduration of construction— about 10 months —could cost the city about$20,000.Another more cost-
effective option might beto use the Tipp MonroeCommunity Servicesbuilding for office anddayroom space, andhouse the ambulances inthe old fire bays.The city would have to
increase security in thebuilding and help pay forincreased energy costs.However, since emer-
gency crews wouldbe on the east side of thetrain tracks, responsetime to residents on thewest side could be affect-ed.“That’s the biggest
issue, now they’re goingto be on the east side ofthe tracks. If they getstuck by a train, there’sgoing to be a delay in ourresponse times,” Cruseysad. “But now they’re onthe west side and ifsomething happens onthe east side and they’restopped by a train,there’s a potential delay.”The trouble with bor-
rowing space from anoth-er organization, like thepolice, is that organiza-tion would have no accessto that space at all for 10months.Because ambulances
are filled with medicalequipment, they must bekept locked in a garagewith access restricted tocertain personnel.“In a perfect world, I’d
say spend the $20,000.But it isn’t and to be hon-est, that burden falls toyou,” EMS Chief MarkSenseman said.Mayor Dee Gillis
agreed, saying that sav-ing money isn’t worthrisking lives.Crusey said the city
will continue to look intovarious options and makea decision before con-struction begins in April.The bids are in for the
Fire/EMS Station recon-struction and, while thecontract will officially beawarded at the nextcouncil meeting,BrumbaughConstruction submittedthe lowest bid at$1,557,000.The new station will
be a combination of newand old. The originalapparatus bay built inthe 1950s will be kept
and used just for firetrucks and equipment,while the 1970s additionwill be replaced.The ’70s addition is
currently used for officeand living space, but it istoo small and lacks sleep-ing quarters.The back of the build-
ing also appears to besinking, causing cracks inthe walls.The new parts of the
station will include sleep-ing quarters, updatedkitchen and bathrooms,offices, and training/con-ference room.A new apparatus bay
will also be added on thewest side of the buildingto house ambulances andother EMS gear.Council had previously
discussed metal roofingfor the renovated build-ing, a higher-cost butlonger-lasting alternativeto asphalt shingles, butthe cost turned out to bemuch higher than expect-ed - about $90,000.Based on the
Brumbaugh bid, it willcost the city about$32,000 in materials torestore the roof of theapparatus bay.If the city decided to
go ahead with the metalroof, it would cost anadditional $58,000.An asphalt shingle
roof, which is expected tolast about 20 years, is aless expensive option.This option would deductabout $40,500 from theproject cost.“So really the way it
works out is you havetheir bid at $1,557,000,we’d still still be purchas-ing $32,000 worth of roof-ing materials for the roofover the fire bays, butthen there’d be a deductof $40,500 off of their bid.So really it’s a net deductof $8,500 off this price togo with an asphalt shin-gle roof versus an addi-tional $90,000,” Cruseyexplained.Another option for the
station was to renovateanother bay door toaccommodate the city’snew ladder truck, just incase the firefighters needto rearrange the trucksand equipment in thefuture.This option would cost
about $13,000.Fire Chief Steve
Kessler said he doesn’tthink enlarging anotherbay door is necessary atthis point.“We’ll just know where
the ladder truck is fromnow on,” he said.• In other business,
council approved threeresolutions.The first declares a
2002 Chevy Sonomapolice seizure to be sur-plus property and allowsthe city manager to dis-pose of it in whateverway is most cost-benefi-cial.The second authorizes
the assessment of curbs,sidewalks, gutters, anddriveway aprons on MainStreet from First Streetto the railroad tracks.This is one of the first
steps in the Main Streetreconstruction project.The third resolution
authorizes the purchaseof a 2013 John Deere5075 tractor for theParks Department toreplace their 1998 JohnDeere 5210 tractor.The new tractor will
cost about $33,726.

COLLEGE BRIEF
Dear Readers: Halogenlamps can be a nice addition toyour home. I have one in ourliving room! However, they canpose a fire risk due to theirhigh temperatures, especially ifthe lamp is old. They should beplaced in the right location tobe safe. Here are some helpfulhints from the U.S. ConsumerProduct Safety Commission andUnderwriters Laboratories:• Do not place the lamp near
curtains or bedding.• Never put any material
(clothing, scarves or towels) onthe lamp.• Do not leave the lamp on
when you leave the room or thehome.
• Keep the lamp away fromchildren or pets.• Use only a halogen bulb of
300 watts or less to reduce firerisk.— HeloiseNAPKIN PLACEMENTDear Heloise: My wife and I
take turns cooking each night.She gets three nights, I getthree nights, and we eat out
one night. When I cook, she setsthe table, and when she cooks, Iset the table.Hopefully, you can settle this
dispute for us.I say the napkin goes under
the fork on the left side. Shesays the napkin goes under theknife and spoon on the rightside. It’s driving me nuts. Shewill do what you say.Which one of us is correct? —
A Reader, Carlisle, Pa.Well, this is certainly an
interesting question! Accordingto the Emily Post Institute, inan informal (like at home) placesetting, the napkin should go tothe left of the utensils (whichwould be left of the forks).
Sometimes the napkin is placedunder the forks.Hopefully, this makes setting
the table a little easier! But, mythought is that whoever setsthe table gets to set it the wayhe or she wants! — HeloiseHELPING HANDDear Heloise: A friend’s
spouse was recently hospital-ized in serious condition.As we organized meals for
the family, I recommended thatwe buy paper towels, toiletpaper, disposable plates andutensils.Meals are eaten quickly, but
the family needs basics to helpmake life a little easier.— PamD., via email

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:
Dear Annie: I am a senior inhigh school. I have been dating"Brianna" for 10 months. Shegraduated last year and attendeda community college, but reallyhad no ambition or motivation tobe there. We spent last summertogether, and I honestly fell headover heels in love with her.Here's the problem. I have been
accepted to many colleges out oftown. It has always been mydream to go away to school. I toldBrianna it wouldn't be fair toeither of us to stay together whileI am away, but I want us to betogether as much as possible untilthen. Ever since I mentioned thisto Brianna, however, thingshaven't been the same. We've beenarguing a lot.Brianna's dad left when she
was 12, and she's still crushed byit. She doesn't get along well withher family and tells me I'm all shehas. She says when I go away toschool, I'll be leaving her just likeeverybody else.Now I feel nothing but guilt
when I think about college. I wantus to enjoy our time together asmuch as possible. I want Briannato be my date for my senior prom,but I don't want her to think I'msimply using her. It's not true. Sheis the only person I want by myside.Annie, do you think it's fair that
we're staying together now eventhough we're most likely breakingup when I leave for college? I wantthe full college experience, and Iknow a long-distance relationshipwill be miserable, because Briannaand I argue constantly via textmessages when we're only 10 min-utes away. Have I made the rightdecision? — College Bound andConfusedDear College Bound:Whether
or not to stay together until theend of the summer is up toBrianna, too. If she can handle it,wishing you well, it's a solid idea,and you can plan to see each otherover winter break. But if Briannafeels you are abandoning her, shemay try to hold you hostage emo-tionally, pressuring you to alteryour plans. That will only createhard feelings and resentment allaround. Talk to Brianna and askwhat she wants to do, but be firmabout your future. Good luck.Dear Annie: Last June, a co-
worker committed suicide. Thestaff and I were extremely devas-tated. No one saw it coming. Now,all these months later, two of mybest friends at work have decidedto get a tribute tattoo in this per-son's honor.These friends were not particu-
larly close to this co-worker, andthis is the first death they havepersonally experienced. I knoweveryone deals with death in theirown way, but they barely knew theco-worker who died. Our entiregroup of friends thinks this tattoois a bad idea. We all want to saysomething, but don't know what.— Tattoo TroublesDear Troubles:We think these
two are looking for a way to honortheir late co-worker. If you canrecommend a better tribute (e.g.,working for a suicide preventionhotline, Survivors of Suicide, theAmerican Foundation for SuicidePrevention, raising funds for sui-cide awareness), you could suggestit as being more meaningful. Butultimately, how they choose to dec-orate their bodies is up to them.Dear Annie: "No Longer
Compatible" said she isn't attract-ed to her husband because hestopped bathing and has badbreath, a beer belly and sinusissues.Oddly enough, clairvoyance isn't
conferred with the vows. Has sheactually told him what she wantsfrom him? He may be relievedthat better hygiene can fix theissue.My second husband wore a size
54 belt. I pretended modesty andwanted the lights out, but reallydidn't care to see his body. But hewas an excellent lover because hismost important organ was hisbrain.He tried to please and was com-
pletely unselfconscious.— AlsoBeen Married to Buddha

The school will haveFriday and Monday off fora mid-winter break.Recently is was Valentine’sDay, so the elementaryclasses had their party.Last night Joseph 10,
Lovina, 8, and Kevin, 7,signed all their cards totheir classmates.This is Joseph’s last
year in elementary schoolso this was last Valentine’sparty.We headed out for the
two-hour trip to Berne,Ind. on Saturday ataround 7:15 a.m.We had set our hired
van driver to be herearound 6:30 a.m. He gotout of his van and some-how left his keys locked inside. His son brought aspare pair and we were onour way 45 minutes later.Nine out of the 12 sib-
lings were at Joe’s sistershouse for the late familyChristmas gathering.There was more thanenough food for the 10:30a.m. carry-in brunch.Snacks were served lateron in the day.After we left the gather-
ing on Saturday, we droveinto the place we used tolive before we moved toMichigan almost nineyears ago.From there we stopped
in at the homeplace whereI lived until after daugh-ters Elizabeth and Susanwere born. The family thatlived there now was kindenough to offer us to goinside the house.We were running short
on time, so we decided notto. The three oldest daugh-ters seem to remember themost of the place.It brought back a lot of
memories but the sayingproves true that “home iswhere the heart is.”We stopped in for a
short visit with sister Lizand Levi. From there, weheaded to brother Amos’
and Nancy’s house. Amosis recovering from bronchi-tis. In the van accident onJan. 9 he had badlybruised lungs. That seemsto make it harder to getrid of his cough. He hasn’tbeen back to work sincethe accident but wants togo soon.It is difficult for Amos
not to be able to go towork.The results for the 23-
year-old boy who was inthe accident are betterthan they first thought.He does have some feel-
ing in his feet and one ofhis thighs. He is doing bet-ter than the doctorsthought he would. We hopeand pray he continues toimprove with therapy.After we left Amos’
house, we stopped to seesister Leah and Paul.Paul had been in sched-uled to have hernia sur-gery last week.The doctor didn’t do the
surgery due to Paul’s bloodpressure being high andsigns of weakness in hisheart. He will need to havesome tests done on hisheart.Hopefully everything
will work out and goodhealth will be restored.Last week daughter
Susan made monster cook-ies to take along to thefamily gathering. Seeingthe bag of M&M’s broughtback a lot of memoriesfrom my GrandpaCoblentz. When we were
little children, every timehe came to visit he wouldbring us a bag of M&M’sto share. We would be soexcited and evenly countthem into piles.We tried to make our
pile last as long as wecould savoring eachmorsel. Not once do I seeor taste M&M’s withoutthinking of GrandpaCoblentz.We recently had
Loretta to the children’shospital, where she hadsurgery on her feet lastfall.The doctors were really
pleased at how well shewas doing. She can go sixmonths without her bracesto see how she does. Also,she is doing all of her ther-apy here at home now. Wepray her strength willkeep getting stronger butwe need to accept whatev-er God’s will is.I want to thank every-
one for prayers andencouragement. It helpsto know others care. God’sblessings to all.Daughter Verena made
this pudding last night asa treat for us all. SisterEmma always preparedthis pudding a lot and ourfamily always enjoys it.

This Feb. 11photo shows speedy pear crisp in Concord, N.H.
By the Associated Press
Sometimes, even on aweeknight, you really cravea little dessert. But makingdessert takes time, and youalready are spending timecooking up the main event,namely dinner.That’s where this recipe
comes to the rescue. It’s aquick, easy and deliciouspear crisp that calls for justfive ingredients pears, gra-nola, lemon juice, apricotjam and a pinch of salt.Pears are just now at the
tail-end of their season. Yes,I know we can find pears allyear these days. But believeme, those specimens aregoing to be nowhere near aselectrifying as a fully-ripened in-season local pear.The problem is the relativerareness of such pears.Ralph Waldo Emerson wasonto something when hewrote, “There are only 10minutes in the life of a pearwhen it is perfect to eat.”In other words, most of
the time, no matter where itcomes from, our pears aren’tat the peak of perfection.And for those times, whenpears are unripe and youdon’t have time to let themripen, this recipe comes inmighty handy. Baking anunripe pear not only makesit tender, it also crystallizes
and magnifies the fruit’s fla-vor. Happily, any kind ofpear and there are manyvarieties will work in thisrecipe, as will a mix of vari-eties.Pears also have a lot to
offer in terms of health.They’re a good source ofvitamin C and a greatsource of fiber.As for granola, there are
a zillion brands in the cerealaisle of the supermarket.The problem is that many ofthem are laden with fat andsugar even as they masquer-ade under a healthy halo.That’s why the recommend-ed portion on the back ofmost granola boxes is just1/4 cup. Pour yourself a nor-mal, adult-sized portion andyou might as well be tuckinginto a breakfast of wafflesand sausage.So when you shop for gra-
nola, look for a brand that’slower in fat, sugar and calo-ries than the competitionand which also contains lotsof nuts, seeds and driedfruit. And if you want tobump up the nutritionalvalue of this recipe evenmore, you also could add 1/4cup of ground flaxseed.With all of that said, I
wouldn’t worry too muchabout the amount of granolain this recipe. Per serving,it’s about what the granola
box recommends, and mostlyserves to put the crisp onthis pear crisp. Heck, you’dbe much better off servingthis dessert for breakfastthan dogging a big bowl ofnothing but granola.
SPEEDY PEAR CRISPStart to finish: 1 hour (15
minutes active)Servings: 81/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon
apricot preserves or sweet-ened fruit spread4 pears (about 2 pounds),
peeled, cored and thinlysliced2 tablespoons lemon juiceTable salt2 cups purchased granolaHeat the oven to 350 F.
Lightly coat a shallow 6-cupbaking dish with cookingspray.In a small saucepan over
medium-low, heat the pre-serves until melted and easilystirred.Set the sliced pears in a
large bowl, then drizzle thepreserves over them. Add thelemon juice and salt, thentoss well. Spread the pearsevenly in the prepared bakingdish.Sprinkle the granola even-
ly over the pears, then coverthe dish loosely with foil andbake 30 minutes. Remove thefoil and bake another 15 min-utes, or until the pears aretender. Serve hot or cold.

Learning experience
BY JOSH BROWNSports Editor
Eaton had any number ofchances to seal the game in thefourth quarter.Tippecanoe had an equal
number of chances to take itfrom the Eagles.In a matchup of two young
teams learning how to win biggames in big moments, Eatonmanaged to make one more play.
Danielle Karns hit a jumperon an in-bounds play under theEaton basket to give the Eaglesa two-point lead with little morethan two minutes to play, butthey shot poorly from the free-throw line the rest of the wayand gave the Red Devils theopportunities they needed to tieit up or take the lead. ButTippecanoe couldn’t convert onany of them, and Eaton leftTecumseh High School with a49-47 victory Wednesday in theDivision II sectional semifinal

Confused testimony by officer in Pistorius casePRETORIA, South Africa
(AP) — The detective leading thepolice investigation into OscarPistorius’ fatal shooting of hisgirlfriend offered confusing testi-mony Wednesday, at one pointagreeing with the athlete’sdefense that officers had no evi-dence challenging the runner’sclaim he accidentally killed her.Testimony by Detective
Warrant Officer Hilton Botha ofthe South African Police Serviceleft prosecutors rubbing theirtemples, only able to look downat their notes as he misjudgeddistances and acknowledged a
forensics team left in the toiletbowl one of the bullet slugs firedat Reeva Steenkamp. However,Botha still poked holes inPistorius’ own account that hefeared for his life and opened fireon Valentine’s Day after mistak-ing Steenkamp for an intruder.The second day of the bail
hearing in a case that has rivet-ed South Africa and much of theworld appeared at first to goagainst the double-amputee run-ner, with prosecutors saying awitness can testify to hearing“non-stop talking, like shouting”between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. before
the predawn shooting on Feb. 14.However, Botha later said undercross examination that the per-son who overheard the argumentwas in a house 600 meters(yards) away in Pistorius’ gatedcommunity in the suburbs ofSouth Africa’s capital, Pretoria.Later, prosecutor Gerrie Nel
questioned Botha again and thedetective acknowledged the dis-tance was much closer. But con-fusion reigned for much of histestimony, when at one pointBotha said officers foundsyringes and steroids inPistorius’ bedroom. Nel quickly
cut the officer off and said thedrugs were actually testos-terone.Pistorius’ lead defense lawyer,
Barry Roux, asserted when ques-tioning the detective — who has16 years’ experience as a detec-tive and 24 years with the police— that it was not a banned sub-stance and that police were try-ing to give the discovery a “nega-tive connotation.”“It is an herbal remedy,” Roux
said. “It is not a steroid and it isnot a banned substance.”

Buckeyescruise
COLUMBUS (AP) — No. 18Ohio State played great defense,there’s no question about it.But much of the blame for
Minnesota’s lopsided 71-45 lossto the Buckeyes on Wednesdaynight stemmed from a world ofmistakes by the Golden Gophers.“You get beat bad when you
don’t make shots,” coach TubbySmith said. “It’s a combination ofshooting poorly and turning theball over that’s a perfect stormfor getting beat.”Deshaun Thomas overcame a
slow start to score 19 points andthe Buckeyes used a 16-0 second-half run to wallop the offensive-ly-challenged Gophers.“We didn’t play perfect, but we
kept pursuing the ball, kept mov-ing,” Ohio State coach ThadMatta said. “A couple times inthe first half we made mistakes,but we recovered from them. Thething I was most pleased withwas, we just kept playing.”That had not been the

PistoriusThe name of the drug,
offered later in court byRoux, could not be immedi-ately found in referencematerials by TheAssociatedPress. A spokesman forprosecutors later said it’stoo early to know what thesubstance is, as they don’tyet have results of forensictesting on the material.
Pistorius, 26, said in anaffidavit read in courtTuesday that he and his 29-year-old girlfriend had goneto bed and that when heawoke during the night hedetected what he thoughtwas an intruder in the bath-room. He testified that hegrabbed his 9 mm pistoland fired into the door of atoilet enclosed in the bath-room, only to discover laterto his horror thatSteenkamp was there, mor-
tally wounded.Pistorius, the first
Paralympian runner tocompete at the Olympics, ischarged with premeditatedmurder in the case.
The prosecutionattempted to cement itsargument that the couplehad a shouting match, thatSteenkamp fled and lockedherself into the toilet stall ofthe bathroom and thatPistorius fired four shotsthrough the door, hittingher with three bullets.
Botha said: “I believethat he knew that Reevawas in the bathroom and heshot four shots through thedoor.”
But asked if the policefound anything inconsistentwith the version of eventspresented by Pistorius,Botha responded that theyhad not. He later said noth-
ing contradicted the police’sversion either.
Nel projected a plan ofthe bedroom and bathroomin the courtroom andargued that Pistorius had towalk past his bed to get tothe bathroom and could nothave done so without realiz-ing that Steenkampwas notin the bed.
“There’s no other way ofgetting there,” Nel said.
Botha said the trajectoryof the bullets showed thegun was fired pointed downand from a height. Thisseems to conflict withPistorius’ statementTuesday, because the ath-lete said that he did nothave on his prosthetics andon his stumps and feelingvulnerable because he wasin a low position when heopened fired.
Officers also found .38-
caliber pistol rounds in asafe, which Botha saidPistorius owned illegallyand for which he said theathlete would be chargedwith a crime. However,Botha also acknowledgedinvestigators didn’t takephotographs of the ammu-nition and let Pistorius’supporters at the crimescene take them away.
Botha said the holsterfor the 9 mm pistol wasfound under the left side ofthe bed, the side on whichSteenkamp slept. He alsoimplied it would have beenimpossible for Pistorius toget the gun without check-ing to see if Steenkamp wasthere. Roux later arguedthat Pistorius had sufferedan injury to his right shoul-der and wore a “medicalpatch” the night of thekilling which forced him to
sleep on the left side of thebed.
Steenkamp was shot inthe head over her right earand in her right elbow andhip, breaking her arm andhip, Botha said. However,Roux later asked Botha ifSteenkamp’s body showed“any pattern of defensivewounds.” The detective saidno.
Botha also said the shotswere fired from 1.5 meters(five feet), and that policefound three spent car-tridges in the bathroom andone in the hallway connect-ing the bathroom to thebedroom. However, later oncross-examination by thedefense, Botha said he was-n’t a forensics expert andcouldn’t answer some ques-tions.
Police also found twoiPhones in the bathroom
and two BlackBerrys in thebedroom, Botha said,adding that none had beenused to phone for help. Rouxlater suggested that a fifthphone, not collected by thepolice, was used byPistorius to make calls for ahospital and help. After thehearing, Roux told journal-ists that Pistorius’ defenseteam had the phone, but didnot elaborate.
Guards at the gatedcommunity where Pistoriuslives did call the athlete,Botha said. The detectivesaid that all the athlete saidwas: “I’m all right.”
He didn’t hang up, Bothasaid, and the guards heardhim uncontrollably weep.
“Was it part of his pre-meditated plan, not toswitch off the phone andcry?” Roux asked sarcasti-cally.

Armstrong won’t interview with USADA under oathAUSTIN, Texas (AP) —
Lance Armstrong will notdo a tell-all interview underoath with the agency thatexposed his performance-enhancing drug use andtook his seven Tour deFrance titles.
The U.S. Anti-DopingAgency had told Armstronghe would have to reveal allknows about doping incycling — a process officialsexpected would take sever-al days — if he wanted toreduce his lifetime ban fromsports.
Wednesday was the lat-est deadline for Armstrong
to decide on USADA’s offer.After negotiating with theagency for two months, herefused.
A r m s t r o n gattorney TimHerman said thecyclist “will notparticipate inUSADA’s effortsto selectively con-duct Americanprosecutions thatonly demonizeselected individu-als while failing toaddress the 95 percent ofthe sport over whichUSADA has no jurisdic-
tion.”USADA chief executive
Travis Tygart said theagency hade x p e c t e dArmstrong wouldagree to talk andwould be “movingon” without him.
“Over the lastfew weeks he hasled us to believethat he wanted tocome in andassist USADA,but was worried
of potential criminal andcivil liability if he did so,”Tygart said. “Today we
learned from the mediathat Mr. Armstrong ischoosing not to come in andbe truthful and that he willnot take the opportunity towork toward righting hiswrongs in sport.”
Herman has saidArmstrong is willing to par-ticipate in an internationaleffort to clean up cycling, aneffort that has broken downin spats between theInternational CyclingUnion, the sport’s govern-ing body, and the WorldAnti-Doping Agency.
“He will be the first manthrough the door, and once
inside will answer everyquestion, at an internation-al tribunal formed to com-prehensively address procycling, an almost exclu-sively European sport,”Herman said.
For more than a decade,Armstrong denied usingperformance-enhancingdrugs. But last year,USADA released a reportthat detailed extensive dop-ing on his Tour de France-winning teams andstripped him of those victo-ries. Armstrong then admit-ted last month in an inter-view with Oprah Winfrey
that he doped to win thoseraces.
Tygart has accusedArmstrong of lying in por-tions of that interview, mostnotably Armstrong’s claimthat he raced clean when hecame out of retirement in2009-2010. USADA’s reportsays blood evidence showsArmstrong cheated duringhis comeback.
USADA also wants toquestion Armstrong underoath about whether cyclingofficials helped him coverup positive drug tests dur-ing his career, charges hecontinues to deny.

Leake trying tokeep 5th spot
GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP)— Right-hander MikeLeake cut his long hairbefore the start of theCincinnati Reds’ springtraining, giving himself amuch different look.
“I just thought it wastime for a change,” Leakesaid. “I couldn’t grow it longin high school and college,so I rebelled a little bit.”
It’s not the only majorchange for the 25-year-oldstarter as camp opens. He’sno longer assured a spot inthe rotation, with left-han-der Aroldis Chapman get-ting an opportunity to com-pete for the fifth spot.
Expectations for thefirst-round pick from 2009have changed. He wasn’texpected to make the pitch-ing staff when he reportedto spring training as a rook-ie, but earned the final spotin the rotation and madethe jump directly from col-lege to the majors.
He had two winningseasons, going 8-4 with a4.23 ERA and 12-9 with a3.86 ERA. Last year, heslipped to 8-9 with a 4.58ERA in 30 starts. He filledin for the injured JohnnyCueto during the playoffsand gave up five runs,including two homers, dur-
ing a loss to the Giants.Overall, his third season
was a disappointment.“I told him the toughest
years in the big leagues arethe third, fourth and fifthyears when everybodyknows you,” managerDusty Baker said. “Theyknow when you’re not get-ting the breaking ball over.They know you follow achange-up with a fastball.Now it’s up to you toadjust.”
Leake is preparing thesame way he has the lastthree springs, knowingthere is a difference in howhe is perceived. He alsoknows that general manag-er Walt Jocketty would liketo have a left-hander in therotation — Cueto, MatLatos, Bronson Arroyo,Homer Bailey and Leakeare right-handers. Thatcould give Chapman anedge.
“Whatever happens,happens,” Leake said. “Youtry to learn from what youdid or didn’t do. For themost part, you just try tomove on.You try to get backto where you were mental-ly or physically, whatever itis that you needed fixing.You don’t dwell on badyears.”

Winter wonderlandMARANA, Ariz. (AP) —
Already a year of wackyweather on the PGA Tour,this might have topped itall — snow.
The opening round ofthe Match PlayChampionship was sus-pended Wednesday when acold rain that came downsideways quickly gave wayto snow from a winterstorm that dumped close to2 inches on Dove Mountainin just over an hour.
“I’ve never actuallyplayed golf to the pointwhere we’ve actuallystopped for snow, which iskind of crazy,” said JasonDay of Australia, who was6 up through 10 holes overZach Johnson. “A littlecrazy for it to snow in thedesert, as well. But that’sjust how it is. MotherNature can do whatevershe wants.”
Ten matches had noteven started when playerswere called off the courseas slush was starting toform on the greens. Twohours later, The Ritz-Carlton Club was a blan-ket of snow as tempera-tures dipped as low as 33degrees. The rest of the daywas called off.
“I’ve seen snow on thecourse when I was a kid,but nothing like that onany of the tours,” said RoryMcIlroy, who along withTiger Woods was amongthose 10 matches thatnever had to hit a shot.
Sergio Garcia, in theleadoff match, had justholed a 10-foot par putt towin the 15th hole and go 2up over Thongchai Jaideewhen play was suspended.
The tour was meetingwith television officials tofigure out when to startand how to get back onschedule. The 64-man fieldis cut in half after eachround, and with sunshinein the forecast the rest ofthe week, it should not bedifficult to get caught up.
So much for a tour thatfollows the sun.
Ian Poulter’s only othertournament this year wason Maui for theTournament of Champions,where it took four days justto get started because ofhigh wind, and then the
54-hole event was over 29hours after it started.
And now this.“I can’t believe it. When
have we ever seen that?”he said, taking off his raingear in front of his locker.“The two events I’veattempted to play this yearhave been three days of 50mph wind and 2 inches ofsnow in an hour. It’sabsolutely, flippin’ unbe-lievable.”
What does that say forthe rest of the year?
“Can’t get worse,” hesaid. “Just incredible.Bizarre. Have you everseen it? Especially wherewe are.”
Maybe he should con-sider himself lucky. Atleast he didn’t play TorreyPines, where fog wiped outan entire round Saturdayand Woods had to waituntil Monday afternoon topolish off his 75th careerwin. There were frostdelays in the openingrounds of Phoenix earlierthis month.
But snow?“I remember one year in
Vegas in a collegiate tour-nament it was sleeting,”said Webb Simpson, whoplayed one shot. “We allcharged toboggans to our
coach in the pro shop andhe wasn’t too happy aboutit. This is crazy weather.But we’ve got a great fore-cast for the weekend, sohopefully, it will melttonight.”
Poulter was cold fromthe start, rubbing hishands together in themorning chill of highdesert — about 2,800 feetabove sea level — and hejumped in place to keepwarm. He built a 3-up leadover Stephen Gallacherthrough 12 holes.
In only 3½ hours of golf,there was some impressiveplay.
Bo Van Pelt, who tookthree shots to get out of abunker early in his matchagainst John Senden, wonsix straight holes — onlytwo of them with birdies —to build a 5-up leadthrough 12. Matt Kucharwas 3 up over HiroyukiFujita through 14 holes,while defending championHunter Mahan was 4 up atthe turn over MatteoManassero.
“We knew this was com-ing, so I think we were allsomewhat prepared for thecold and everything,”Mahan said. “We also did-n’t think we were actually
high enough to get snow,and get this amount.We gosleet and ice, and you can’tputt or hit shots with icecoming at you.”
The best competitionmight have come after playended.
Rickie Fowler wound upand fired snowballs fromthe parking lots. The cad-dies spent an hour havinga snowball fight, thoughmost of the players stayedinside.
That included CarlPettersson, a guy who triesto see the glass half-full.
“This is one time I havethe advantage of being fat,”Pettersson said.
With delays like this, hemight have company.
“It seems like every raindelay — or snow delay —that we have, you justseem to sit there and eatdessert,” Day said. “Andthere’s a bunch of yummychocolates in there.”
None of the top fourseeds had teed off. CharlesHowell III, who hasn’tfacedWoods since the thirdround of the 1996 U.S.Amateur, hit four putts onthe practice green when hearrived. That was theextent of his workWednesday.

Swisher never stops.Just watch him for aminute in the Indians’clubhouse.

Devilsround.The win puts the third-
seeded Eagles (20-4) intothe sectional title gameSaturday against KentonRidge, which had no trou-ble with Greenville 61-44in the earlier semifinalgame.“They (Eaton) hadn’t
won a tournament gamesince 2001. They’re a goodteam, and they don’t havea senior on the team,either, so they’ll be good fora while,” Tippecanoe coachAaron Jackson said. “Weknew (this would be anevenly-matched game)going in.”Early on, it looked like
Eaton would blow the No.5 Devils (13-11) off thecourt as the Eagles cashedin on four turnovers in thefirst three minutes to jumpout to a 15-5 lead.But the Devils settled
down from there andchipped away at the lead,fighting their way backinto the game. They trailed18-11 at the end of the firstand closed to within one at20-19 in the second with asix-point run keyed by apair of Carly Clodfeltersteals and finishes byChelsea Clawson.From there, the game
was predictably back andforth. Eaton pulled backahead by six at halftimeand led by as many aseight at 38-30 at the end ofthree after getting eightpoints off the bench in thethird from LibbySpringmier … but theDevils simply wouldn’t goaway.“We fought back,”
Jackson said. “When theygot up 38-30, at that point,they were getting everyloose ball and rebound. Sowe told the girls we had totake care of the littlethings — every loose ballhas to be yours, everyrebound has to be yours.“There are only so many
possessions in a game likethis. This isn’t like a gameagainst a Kenton Ridgewhere it’s up and down thefloor and there are a ton ofpossessions. Every one ofthem is critical.”Early in the fourth, the
Devils made the most of allof them.Tippecanoe kicked off
the quarter on a 9-0 run totake their first lead of thegame. Clodfelter played abig role in that defensivelywith a pair of blocked shotsthat led directly to baskets.First, she blocked a shot toErica Comer, who hitClawson for an and-one ona fast break that closed thegap to 38-35. After a driveby Clawson (10 points) cutthe deficit to one,Clodfelter swatted awayan Eaton putback, andHalee Printz set up Comerfor a jumper to give theDevils their first lead at39-38 with 5:30 to play.Clodfelter finished with
eight points, eightrebounds, four blockedshots, four steals and threeassists, while Comer —playing in her final gameas a Red Devil — scored allseven of her points in thesecond half.Eaton quickly retook
the lead after losing it andgot it back up to three aftera jumper by Karns, butPrintz — who scored agame-high 17 points —buried the Devils’ only 3-pointer of the night to tiethe score. Karns connectedagain, but Clodfelter tied itat 44-44 with an offensiverebound and a pair of free
throws.“Halee played well, and
Carly, she had her fresh-man moments but as awhole played very well,”Jackson said. “AndChelsea, we really chal-lenged her, Sarah(Janosik) and McKensie(Logan) to contain AutumnWhitley in the second half.But Karns, we didn’t haveanything to match that.Not many teams do.”Karns got free on an in-
bounds play and knockeddown yet another shortjumper for Eaton to makeit 46-44 with 2:18 to go,and the Eagles were ableto kill more than a minutebefore Tippecanoe calledtimeout with 1:06 left andhad to start fouling.Whitley (nine points) hittwo free throws to make it48-44, but Comer hit ahook shot in the lane tomake it a two-point gamewith 42.4 seconds left.From there, neither
team could make theclutch play. Eaton went adismal 1 for 6 from the freethrow line, missing a pairof one-and-ones to giveTippecanoe a chance to getback into it.

throw up a desperationattempt from beyond half-court at the buzzer, and itfell short.It was the final game
for Tippecanoe’s seniors —Comer, Janosik, KaylaVath and Jessica Wise.“All four of them were
around for all four years,too. It’s tough,” Jacksonsaid. “It’s always tough tosee your seniors go.”But the Devils who will
return next year got plentyof big-game experiencethis year.And will look to put
