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.

About 50 spectators watched the competition, which  lasted about two hours.
