AKRON -ÊTwo down, two to go. Coming into the last part of the regular season, the Tippecanoe Valley girls basketball team wanted to win at least three if not all four of its final games.The Vikings got one step closer to that goal after defeating Mississinewa 65-44 Friday night.They have won the first two of their final four games. But that 20-point lead did not materialize until the second half of play. The Vikings trailed by eight points (22-14) with 6:48 left in the second quarter.But Valley outscored Mississinewa 11-4 in the last 5:45 of the second quarter to cut that deficit to one, 26-25, at the half. "The kids were a bit tight in the beginning," said Valley coach Gary Teel."We were sluggish in the first quarter.We always seemed to be one step behind." At the halftime break, Teel made some defensive adjustments and moved players to different positions for the second half.

- Ethanol - Enforce The Borders - U.S.30 Ethanol Editor, Times-Union: A number of ethanol plants have been proposed for northeastern Indiana.There is a significant amount of overlap in the corn supplying areas for these plants and they will be vying for the same corn.It is highly probable that excess corn is grown in the area, but it is not clear how increased demand will change this.Marketing issues are complex and there is no clear answer as to who will gain from the ethanol ventures. We know that the effect of fermenting the carbohydrate (sugar) portion of the corn takes this part of the corn out of the food system.This is the part of corn that provides high fructose corn syrup found in many foods.At this point, we are not certain how energy use will interact with the food uses of corn.

Milford, Hobbs Named In Suit

The town of Milford and town marshal David Hobbs have until Feb.20 to respond to a lawsuit accusing them of false imprisonment. The suit was filed by Ralph "Fred" Fisher as the result of his imprisonment on murder charges. In March 2002, a jury found Fisher not guilty of the Jan.15, 2001, murder of Kathy Vroman. Vroman's frozen body was found Jan.26, 2001, in a wooded area near Three Rivers, Mich.An autopsy showed she died of two gunshot wounds to the head. She allegedly was shot at Country Car Co., a Milford business owned by Jason Fisher, Ralph Fisher's son.At the time of the trial, police believed she was killed to hide a car-theft chain in which the younger Fisher and three others were allegedly involved.It also was reported that Vroman owed money to the elder Fisher. Police originally arrested Jason Fisher for the murder, but after nearly a year in jail, he testified that his father was the shooter, securing immunity for himself on the murder charge.
