MILLER, JOHNSON TOPS IN DARE QUIZ BOWL

Daniel Miller and Sarah Johnson will represent Kosciusko County at
the Regional Drug and Alcohol Quiz Bowl.

Miller and Johnson won Saturday's Kosciusko County's quiz bowl,
which was sponsored by the Kosciusko County Coalition on Drug
Education. Sixteen students competed in the contest, which was held
at the Warsaw Community Public Library.

Daniel Miller, a fifth-grader at Akron Elementary School, is the son
of Doug and Angie Miller. He outlasted eight other fifth-graders to
win a $50 savings bond from KCODE.

Miller won the competition by giving the correct answer to the
question, "An Indiana drug abuse task force estimates that what drug
is costing the state $100 million a year in jail space, treatment
and welfare services?" The answer: methamphetamine.

The fifth-grade competition went to the final round of questions
before a winner was decided.

Harrison Elementary fifth-grader Kaitlyn Wiley, the daughter of Roy
and Teri Wiley, was the runner-up in the fifth-grade portion of the
competition.

Johnson, a sixth-grader at Washington Elementary School, is the
daughter of Mark and Sandy Miller. She topped six other
sixth-graders to take top honors and earn a spot in the regional
competition in Fort Wayne May 20. She also earned a $50 savings bond
from KCODE.

To win the competition, which went into extra rounds, Johnson
correctly answered the question, "What is cocaine that has not been
neutralized by an acid to make the salt?" The answer: crack.

Eisenhower Elementary sixth-grader Kristin VanOsdol, the daughter of
Ed and Becky VanOsdol, was the runner up in the sixth-grade portion
of the competition.

All participants in the quiz bowl received light blue T-shirts with
the KCODE logo, which were worn during the competition.
