Proposal to go to OEPA BY MIKE SEFFRIN mseffrin@sdnccg.com Sidney’s proposal for $34.8 million in wastewater treatment system improvements goes to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency later this month. The city hopes the OEPA will endorse the plan, which city officials said is extensive, but is less demanding than the OEPA’s current compliance schedule. At a Sidney City Council work session Tuesday night, staff from Hazen & Sawyer, the city’s consulting engineers for the project, presented an overview the firm’s recommendations. The consultants will present the plan to the OEPA on Sept. 20 and will update council at its Sept. 24 meeting. The wastewater plant expansion would include the addition of a disinfection facility using ultraviolet lights. The UV rays would See PROPOSAL/Page 3

We are one of the selected few,” said Frank Beeson, group publisher for the I-75 Newspaper Group. “Fator first came to Troy in celebration of the Troy Daily News’ 100th
anniversary, and it was the beginning of a long-running partnership between the city of Troy/Hobart Arena, and the I-75 Newspapers.

he said. Sidney is not alone in dealing with OEPA wastewater requirements. “A lot of communities are working on the same thing,” Gellner said. In other business, Jennie Rogers, recreation specialist with the Department of Parks and Recreation, reported on summer recreation programs and municipal swimming pool activities. Overall, activity was down this summer compared to 2011, “strictly due to the hot weather,” Rogers said. At the pool, revenues this summer totaled $80,820. For 2011, it was $97,960. Rogers said it “sounds kind of crazy,” but people preferred staying at home in air conditioning rather than coming to the pool on extremely hot days.
Tenn. FRANKLIN, (AP) — The Secret Service said Wednesday it is investigating the reported theft of copies of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s federal tax records during a break-in at an accounting office in Franklin. Someone claiming responsibility demanded $1 million not to make them public. An anonymous letter sent to Romney’s accounting firm and political offices in Tennessee and published online sought $1 million in hard-to-trace Internet currency to prevent the disclosure of his tax filings, which have emerged as a key focus during the 2012 presidential race. Romney released his 2010 tax returns and a 2011 estimate in January, but he has refused to disclose his returns from earlier years. Romney’s accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers, said there was no evidence that any Romney tax files were stolen. “At this time there is no evidence that our systems have been compromised or that there was any unauthorized access to the data in question,” PricewaterhouseCoopers spokesman Chris Atkins said. In Washington, Secret spokesman Service Edwin Donovan confirmed the agency was investigating. The Romney campaign declined to comment, referring all questions to the account-
ing firm. Franklin police said there were no recent alarms or break-ins reported at the site. “We’ve had nothing from that address in August,” Police Lt. Charles J. Warner said. There was no sign of forced entry at the fivestory building that housed the accounting firm’s local office, not far from the Cool Springs Galleria, a large mall about 20 miles south of Nashville. The building does not restrict access during business hours and has no guard. After-hours access to the doors and elevators appear to be controlled by keycard. A spokeswoman for the building manager, Spectrum Properties, said the company would not speculate on the burglary claim. “All of the tenants operate independently and the building is highly secured,” the spokeswoman, Beth Courtney, said. The data theft was claimed in letters left with political party offices in Franklin and disclosed in several Tennessee-area newspapers. Jean Barwick, the executive director of the Williamson County Republic Party, said employees in the GOP office found a small package on Friday with a hand-written address. The package contained a letter and a computer flash drive, she said.

disinfect discharges from the plant before they enter the Great Miami River. The issue of the UV process generated questions among council members and city staff, who wondered if the city would have to install a yet more advanced system in a few years. Jamie Gellner, project manager with Hazen & Sawyer, said UV “has established itself” as an effective disinfectant process. He felt it would be 15 to 20 years before another practical system would come along. Utilities Director Brian Schultz agreed. He said he was “very comfortable” with the UV system. He said it’s also safer than using chemicals, which involves moving large cylinders of chlorine. “There’s a huge safety improvement for staff,”

CANGREJAL, Costa Rica (AP) — A powerful magnitude-7.6 earthquake shook Costa Rica and neighboring countries Wednesday, sending panicked people into the streets and briefly triggering a tsunami alert, but causing little damage. Authorities reported one confirmed death. “When we felt the earthquake, we held onto each other because we kept falling,” said Rosa Pichardo, 45, who was walking on the beach in the town of Samara with her family when the quake hit. “I’ve never felt anything like this. We just couldn’t stay standing. My feet gave out under me. It was terrible, terrible,” she said. Officials said the
quake collapsed some houses and at least one bridge and caused landslides that blocked highways. But Costa Rica President Laura Chinchilla said there were no reports of major damage and called for calm. Residents described being shocked by the force of the quake, which was felt as far away as Panama and Nicaragua and was the biggest since a 7.6-magnitude quake in 1991 left 47 people dead. Michelle Landwer, owner of the Belvedere Hotel in Samara, north of the epicenter, said she was having breakfast with about 10 people when the quake hit. “The whole building was moving, I couldn’t even walk,” Landwer
said. “Everything was falling, like glasses and everything.” Still, she added, “Here in my building there was no real damage.” The quake was somewhat deep — 25 miles (41 kilometers) below the surface. Quakes that occur deeper underground tend to be less damaging, but more widely felt. “If it was a shallower event, it would be a significantly higher hazard,” said seismologist Daniel McNamara of the U.S. Geological Survey. The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake was centered about 38 miles (60 kilometers) from the town of Liberia and 87 miles (140 kilometers) west of the capital, San Jose. The magnitude
initially was estimated at 7.9, but was quickly downgraded to 7.6. The area is a seismically active zone where the Cocos tectonic plate dives beneath the Caribbean plate. “All along the Pacific coast of Central America, you can expect fairly big earthquakes,” McNamara said. The quake was followed by two strong aftershocks of magnitudes 4.5 and 4.4. The Guanacaste region around the epicenter is a popular tourist destination known for its pristine beaches and nature and marine reserves. Costa Rica is also a popular destination for American retirees, tens of thousands of whom have settled there.
Democrats change platform CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Needled by Mitt Romney and other Republicans, Democrats hurriedly rewrote their convention platform Wednesday to add a mention of God and declare Jerusalem the capital of Israel after President Barack Obama intervened to order the changes. The embarrassing reversal was compounded by chaos and uncertainty on the convention floor, requiring three votes before a ruling that the amendments had been approved. Many in the audience booed the decision. The episode exposed tensions on Israel within the party, put Democrats on the defensive and created a public relations spectacle as Obama ar-
rived in the convention city to claim his party’s nomination for a second term. The language in the party platform — a political document — does not affect actual U.S. policy toward Israel. The administration has long said that determining Jerusalem’s status is an issue that should be decided in peace talks by Israelis and Palestinians. Obama intervened directly to get the language changed both on Jerusalem and to reinstate God in the platform, according to campaign officials who insisted on anonymity to describe behind-the-scenes party negotiations. They said Obama’s reaction to the omission of God from the platform was to wonder
why it was removed in the first place. The revisions came as Obama struggles to win support from white working-class voters, many of whom have strong religious beliefs, and as Republicans try to woo Jewish voters and contributors away from the Democratic Party. Republicans claimed the platform omissions suggested Obama was weak in his defense of Israel and out of touch with mainstream Americans. GOP officials argued that not taking a position on Jerusalem’s status in the party platform raised questions about Obama’s support for the Mideast ally. Romney said omitting God “suggests a party that is increasingly out of touch with the mainstream of the Amer-
ican people.” “I think this party is veering further and further away into an extreme wing that Americans don’t recognize,” Romney said. Added to the platform was a declaration that Jerusalem “is and will remain the capital of Israel. The parties have agreed that Jerusalem is a matter for final status negotiations. It should remain an undivided city accessible to people of all faiths.” That language was included in the platform four years ago when Obama ran for his first term, but was left out when Democrats on Tuesday approved their 2012 platform, which referred only to the nation’s “unshakable commitment to Israel’s security.”

KISS, Motley Crue equipment crashes on I-75 BY SARAH STEMEN Ohio Community Media sstemen@limanews.com CRIDERSVILLE — A Motley Crue and KISS pyrotechnic tractor-trailer overturned around 8 a.m. Wednesday morning in the northbound lanes of Interstate 75 just south of the Cridersville exit. The driver of the trailer was transported to a hospital following the crash, Cridersville Police Chief John D. Drake confirmed. None of the band members were on the trailer, he said. Drake said the equipment trailer contained pyrotechnics and show equipment. The bands were traveling from Nashville to Detroit to do a show Wednesday night, he said. He said the production manager came to the scene shortly after 10 a.m. to see the dam-
age done and made phone arrangements for the show Wednesday night. The bands still performed their show Wednesday and plan on finishing the rest of the tour, he said. “All of the equipment that was salvaged was put on a trailer and sent off with the band,” Drake said. “It will interrupt two shows for them, they said. But the show will go on.” Drake said he was unsure as to why the trailer overturned.The northbound lanes of traffic on I-75 were closed for about a mile and half, he said and opened again shortly after 11 a.m. The Wapakoneta Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol will have an official report later today, but Lt. Scott Carrico said the only thing he could confirm was a commercial vehicle had rolled over.
Romney: MS taught family about losing hope FINDLAY (AP) — Ann Romney fired back Wednesday at critics who have accused husband Mitt Romney of being out of touch with average Americans, saying her own bout with multiple sclerosis taught the family what it means to suffer and lose hope. “When people say that we’ve led a charmed life and we don’t relate to people that are having trouble, I want to remind you that I’ve been in a very dark place, and I know what it is like to have no hope,” Mrs. Romney said at a rally for women supporting her husband, the Republican presidential candidate, at the University of Findlay in Ohio. “So believe me when I tell you these words: We are there for you because we know what it feels like.” Democrats attending their party’s national convention this week in Charlotte, N.C., have re-

State offers drought meetings to assist farmers REYNOLDSBURG — The Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA), Ohio State University Extension and USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) will host a series of meetings throughout the state in September to provide crop and livestock farmers with information on farming in a drought and on accessing available relief resources. In July, Governor John R. Kasich signed Executive Order 2012-11K, instructing state agencies to work with Ohio’s farmers to minimize the potential environmental and economic impact of an agricultural drought. As part of the order, ODA was instructed to hold a series of educational meetings to discuss forage management, water availability, heat stress on livestock, mitigation strategies and other drought-related topics. The meetings will include officials from ODA, Ohio State University Extension and FSA. The public will have the opportunity to talk with experts and ask questions at the following meetings: • Monday, 5:30 to 8 p.m., Ohio Department of Agriculture – Bromfield Administration Building (Auditorium), 8995 East Main St., Reynoldsburg. • Wednesday, 5:30 to 8 p.m., Heidelberg University – Campus Center Building (Room 120 and “The Great Hall”), 310 E.

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Thursday, Sept. 6, the 250th day of 2012. There are 116 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 6, 1997, a public funeral was held for Princess Diana at Westminster Abbey in London, six days after her death in a car crash in Paris. On this date: ■ In 1757, the Marquis de Lafayette, the French hero of the American Revolution, was born in Auvergne, France. ■ In 1861, Union forces led by Gen. Ulysses S. Grant occupied Paducah, Ky., during the Civil War. ■ In 1901, President William McKinley was shot and mortally wounded by anarchist Leon Czolgosz at the PanAmerican Exposition in Buffalo, N.Y. (McKinley died eight days later.) ■ In 1916, the first selfservice grocery store, Piggly Wiggly, was opened in Memphis, Tenn., by Clarence Saunders. ■ In 1939, the Union of South Africa declared war on Germany. ■ In 1948, Princess Juliana of the Netherlands was inaugurated as queen, two days after the abdication of her mother, Queen Wilhelmina. ■ In 1952, Canadian television broadcasting began in Montreal. ■ In 1966, South African Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd was stabbed to death by an apparently deranged page during a parliamentary session in Cape Town. ■ In 1970, Palestinian guerrillas seized control of three U.S.-bound jetliners. (Two were later blown up on the ground in Jordan, along with a Londonbound plane hijacked on Sept. 9; the fourth plane was destroyed on the ground in Egypt. No hostages were harmed.) ■ In 1972, a memorial service was held at the site of the Summer Olympics in Munich, West Germany, a day after the deadly terrorist attack that had claimed the lives of eleven Israelis and five of their abductors. ■ In 1985, all 31 people aboard a Midwest Express Airlines DC-9 were killed when the Atlanta-bound jetliner crashed just after takeoff from Milwaukee’s Mitchell Field. ■ In 1991, the Soviet Union recognized the independence of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. Russian lawmakers upheld a decision by residents of Leningrad to restore the city’s pre-revolutionary name, St. Petersburg.

What a hamburger! CARLTON, Minn. (AP) — A Minnesota casino has cooked up a world-record bacon cheeseburger that's 10 feet in diameter and weighs more than a ton. The behemoth burger was served up Sunday at the Black Bear Casino Resort near Carlton. It tipped the scales at 2,014 pounds. Guinness Records representative Philip Robertson verified the record for biggest burger. He called the feat a result of “remarkable teamwork” and said the burger “actually tastes really good.” A Duluth News Tribune report says the previous mark was a mere 881 pounds, 13 ounces. Black Bear’s burger included 60 pounds of bacon, 50 pounds of lettuce, 50 pounds of sliced onions, 40 pounds of pickles and 40 pounds of cheese. It took about four hours to cook the patty. A crane was used to flip it.

Clinton: Obama showing way to more modern economy CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — President Barack Obama inherited a wreck of an economy, “put a floor under the crash” and laid the foundation for millions of good new jobs, former President Bill Clinton declared Wednesday night in a Democratic National Convention appeal aimed at millions of hard-pressed Americans yet to decide how to vote. “If you want a you’re-onyour-own, winner-take-all society, you should support the Republican ticket,” Clinton said. “If you want a country of shared prosperity and shared responsibility — a we’re-all-inthis-together society — you should vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden.” Obama’s high command released the remarks before Clinton’s appearance as they struggled to bury the news of an embarrassing retreat on the party platform. Under criticism from Republican challenger Mitt Romney, they abruptly rewrote the dayold document to insert a reference to God and to declare that Jerusalem “is and will remain the capital of Israel.” Some delegates objected loudly, but Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, presiding in the largely-empty hall, ruled them outvoted. White House aides said Obama had personally ordered the changes. The episode was an unwanted intrusion for Democratic officials, who scripted the

put us back in,’” Clinton said in advance excerpts. “I like the argument for President Obama’s re-election a lot better. He inherited a deeply damaged economy, put a floor under the crash, began the long hard road to recovery and laid the foundation for a more modern, more well-balanced economy that will produce millions of good new jobs, vibrant
new businesses, and lots of new wealth for the innovators.” Obama arrived in his convention city earlier in the day. His formal nomination to a second term in office followed Clinton’s speech on the evening program, and his acceptance speech will mark the convention finale on Thursday night. On an unsettled convention day, aides also scrapped plans for the president to speak to a huge crowd in a 74,000 seat football stadium, citing the threat of bad weather in a city that has been pelted by heavy downpours in recent days. “We can’t do anything about the rain. The important thing is the speech,” said Washington Rey, a delegate from Sumter, S.C. That and the eight-week general election campaign about to begin between Obama and Republican challenger Romney, who spent his second straight day in Vermont preparing for this fall’s debates with Obama. In a tight race for the White House and with control of the Senate at stake, Democrats signaled unmistakable concern about the growing financial disadvantage they confront. Officials said Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who was Obama’s first White House chief of staff, was resigning as national cochair of the president’s campaign to help raise money for a super PAC that supports the his re-election.
DNA encyclopedia shows inner workings NEW YORK (AP) — A colossal international effort has yielded the first comprehensive look at how our DNA works, an encyclopedia of information that will rewrite the textbooks and offer new insights into the biology of disease. For one thing, it may help explain why some people are more prone to common ailments such as high blood pressure and heart disease. The findings, reported Wednesday by more than 500 scientists, reveal extraordinarily complex networks that tell our genes what to do and when, with millions of on-off switches. “It’s this incredible choreography going on, of a modest number of genes and an immense number of … switches that are choreographing how those genes are used,” said Dr.
Eric Green, director of the National Human Genome ReInstitute, which search organized the project. The work also shows that at least 80 percent of the human genetic code, or genome, is active. That’s surprisingly high and a sharp contrast to the idea that the vast majority of our DNA is junk. Most people know that DNA contains genes, which hold the instructions for life. But scientists have long known those genetic blueprints take up only about 2 percent of the genome, and their understanding of what’s going on in the rest has been murky. Similarly, they have known that the genome contains regulators that control the activity of genes, so that one set of genes is active in a liver cell and another set in a brain cell,
for example. But the new work shows how that happens on a broad scale. It’s “our first global view of how the genome functions,” sort of a Google Maps that allows both bird’s-eye and closeup views of what’s going on, said Elise Feingold of the genome institute. While scientists already knew the detailed chemical makeup of the genome, “we didn’t really know how to read it,” she said in an interview. “It didn’t come with an instruction manual to figure out how the DNA actually works.” One key participant, Ewan Birney of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Hinxton, England, compared the new work to a first translation of a very long book. “The big surprise is just how much activity there is,” he said. “It’s a jungle.”
The trove of findings was released in 30 papers published by three scientific journals, while related papers appear in some other journals. In all, the 30 papers involved more than 500 authors. The project is called ENCODE, for Encyclopedia of DNA Elements. The human genome is made up of about 3 billion “letters” along strands that make up the familiar double helix structure of DNA. Particular sequences of these letters form genes, which tell cells how to make proteins. People have about 20,000 genes, but the vast majority of DNA lies outside of genes. So what is it doing? In recent years, scientists have uncovered uses for some of that DNA, so it was clearly not all junk, but overall it has remained a mystery.
NY court to decide if lap Afghan soldiers dance is tax-exempt art fired during insider ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — No one would confuse the Nite Moves strip club with the Bolshoi Ballet, but what the lap dancers do there is art and entitled to the same tax exemption other performances enjoy, a lawyer argued Wednesday in what was surely one of the racier tax cases ever to go before New York’s highest court. W. Andrew McCullough, an attorney for the suburban Albany strip joint, told the Court of Appeals that admission fees and lap dances at the club should be freed of state sales taxes under an exemption that applies to “dramatic or musical arts performances.” He said that lap dancing is an art form and that, in any case, the state is not qualified to make such determinations, and that making such distinctions would be a violation of the constitutional right to freedom of expression. A lawyer for the state rejected that analysis, and authorities are demanding about $400,000 in back taxes from the club. A ruling is expected next month, with possible consequences for the estimated 150 to 200 adult nightclubs in the state. During Wednesday’s arguments from the club’s lawyer, a skeptical Judge Eugene Pigott Jr. said the women are hired untrained and simply “do what they do.”
Duncan service set LOS ANGELES (AP) — Michael Clarke Duncan’s life will be celebrated with a public casket viewing and a private service next week. Duncan spokeswoman Joy Fehily said Wednesday that the Oscar-nominated actor’s casket will be on view from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday at the
Hall of Liberty at Forest Lawn Memorial Parks and Mortuaries in Los Angeles. A private, invitation-only service will follow on Monday. “The Green Mile” star died Monday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after failing to recover from a heart attack in July. He was 54.
attacks probe KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghan authorities have detained or removed hundreds of soldiers in an investigation into rising insider attacks against international service personnel who are their supposed partners in the fight against Taliban insurgents and other militants, officials said Wednesday. The crackdown is the result of the Afghan Defense Ministry’s effort to re-evaluate soldiers to stem the attacks, which are complicating plans to train Afghan forces so that most foreign troops can withdraw from the country by the end of 2014. President Hamid Karzai’s government hopes Afghan forces can take responsibility for security nationwide by that time. The U.S. military is taking precautionary measures too and recently stopped training about 1,000 members of the Afghan Local Police, a controversial network of village-defense units that is growing but remains a fraction of the country’s army and police force.
Karzai has expressed concern that without careful vetting, the program could end up arming local troublemakers, strongmen or criminals. So far this year, 45 international service members, most of them Americans, have died at the hands of Afghan soldiers or policemen or insurgents wearing their uniforms. There were at least 12 such attacks in August alone, resulting in 15 deaths. Defense Ministry spokesman Mohammad Zahir Azimi said that hundreds of Afghan National Army soldiers were removed from the service, but he declined to provide an exact number or specify how many were detained. Lt. Gen. James Terry, commander of the U.S.-led coalition’s joint command in Afghanistan, told Pentagon reporters Wednesday that he had heard 200 to 300 soldiers were removed in the re-vetting process, but that he had not yet confirmed those numbers with the Afghan government.

hear your suggestions before another accident ruins the new carpet. — Laima W., Lahaina, Hawaii Aloha to my friends in Hawaii! Start by scooping up pet (cat or dog) vomit with a big spoon. Once it’s been picked up, mix 1 tablespoon of liquid dish soap, 2 cups of warm water and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar. Lightly dampen the carpet with this mixture and blot until the carpet is dry. Finally, use cold water to remove any remaining residue. If an odor or stain still exists, you may need to purchase a commercial cleaner specially made with enzymes for pet odors and stains, which is available at most pet stores. — specialty Heloise

Dear Heloise: I am an avid recycler, forever forgetful about returning plastic bags to the grocery store, and I find it a nuisance to store them until returned. Now I straighten out the bag, twist and wind it around two fingers, then tuck the “tail” into the middle, forming a little rosette. I hang one bag near my recycle bin to toss the “rosettes” into. When full, I tie the handles and have a neat little bundle to return to the store. — Linda in Hickory, N.C.

This is an important Jesus instituted the question, because the reLord’s Supper right be- ligious world is divided fore he was betrayed by on the answer. Some say Judas.

This is week. I’ve even heard of important to realize, be- it being taken at wedcause during the dings and funerals. Passover the Jews could Which one is correct?
The forerunner of the Lord’s Supper is the table of showbread. This was a table, located in the tabernacle, that had 12 loaves on it (to represent each of the 12 tribes). Only the priests were allowed to eat of it. The question is, however, how often did they eat of the table of showbread? Leviticus 24:8 tells us that every Sabbath the priest was to set it before the Lord. So, they ate of the table of showbread every Sabbath. Fast forward to us. We no longer keep the Sabbath, we keep the first day of the week (Sunday). Jesus resurrected on a Sunday, the church got its beginning on a Sunday. In Acts 20:7, we are told that Christians came together to break bread on the first day of the week. So, we are to
do the same thing. Come together every Sunday to eat of the Lord’s Supper. Jesus tells us in John 6:53, “ ... unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.” Now Jesus was not talking about his physical body because he was there with them. The unleavened bread and the pure grape juice represents the precious body and blood of Jesus. Yes, the Lord’s Supper plays a very important role in our Christian life. It reminds us of what Jesus did for us, even though we didn’t deserve it. The very least that we can do. The writer is the pastor of North Broadway Church of Christ in Sidney.
Mass honors Lehman donors Members of the Lehman Catholic High School community recently gathered in the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Chapel for a memorial Mass for Christopher and Anne Kelly. Christopher Kelly, a 1936 graduate of Holy Angels High School, settled in Albuquerque, N.M., and became a successful real estate developer after serving his country in World War II. Following the deaths of the Kellys, the school received a bequest from their estate. It was the desire of the family that the gift be memorialized in some way at the school. Since both Mr. and Mrs. Kelly were active members of the Catholic Church, Lehman President Mike Barhorst suggested naming one of school’s religion
classrooms in memory of Christopher and Anne, and the family readily agreed. Lehman Catholic Chaplain the Rev. Daniel Hess celebrated the memorial Mass. The Kellys’ daughter, Sheila Cooper, traveled to the school from her ranch in New Mexico. Other relatives and friends traveled to the school from lesser distances. Following the Mass, Cooper unveiled the plaque on the classroom door. Hess then blessed the door. Joseph Schmiesing, a 2000 graduate of Lehman Catholic who returned to Lehman to teach following his college studies, teaches in the classroom. Schmiesing was on hand to lector at Mass and to thank the Kelly
family for their gift. Following the Mass, Barhorst hosted a luncheon at The Bridge for those in attendance. Following lunch, he escorted Cooper on a tour of Sidney. “We are grateful for Christopher and Anne Kelly’s gift to the school,” Barhorst said. “Graduates, no matter how far away, remember with fondness the education they received here and recognize the impact that Catholic education has had on their success in life. The Kellys’ bequest is an expression of that gratitude and their desire to leave a legacy in Mr. Kelly’s hometown. The memorial plaque on the door of Room 14 will serve as a lasting reminder of not only their gift, but their gratitude.”

through the Move Ohio Forward grant. Most of that money is being used in Sidney, according to Anderson. Gary Strasser, council member and parks and recreation committee chairman, told council members that the Paul Opperman family is moving to Anna and had contacted him asking to donate a martin house for birds to the village park.

Crash training Sidney Firefighter Steve Omeara reviews how to open up a crashed school bus during a training exercise at the Kettlersville Fire Department recently. Firefighters and rescue workers from Anna, Jackson Center and Botkins participated in the training.
Council approves contract BOTKINS — Botkins Village Council members discussed a quote to upgrade a lift station, and new firefighters were appointed at their recent meeting. Village Administrator Jesse Kent presented a quote for the upgrade of the South Street Lift Station from Jones and Henry of Toledo, to provide engineering services for the design of the upgrade in the amount of $38,500, which council approved. Mayor Steve Woodruff appointed two new volunteer firefighters to the Botkins Fire Department. They are Tyler Temple and Kenneth Lemmon. Kent said a large amount of wood was cleaned up at the village park from a recent storm. Council members decided to put the piles of wood out for a bid. Anyone interested in placing a bid can contact the village office. Council members were told to expect some activity at the Botkins Industrial Park soon for a groundbreaking for land sold to Dick Platfoot, who owns Platfoot Industrial Properties LLC and Buckeye Electrical Products, which is
currently located outside the village. Woodruff told council Joint Recreational Board member-at-large Ron Stutsman will be leaving his position from the board for personal reasons. Woodruff thanked Stutsman for his hard work and service. The council was informed that land in the village has been sold to Tim and Vicki Smith. They purchased 19.5 acres of land for $3,000 plus additional costs associated with the land from the Botkins Community Improvement Corporation. The land is located next to Brew’s Perfectville Pizza, which is owned by the Smiths. The land will be used for additional parking. Kent reported the Planning Commission met and approved a replat for Double C Properties for new
construction for Brown Industrial, which is expanding. The council approved the replat of the property. Craig Brown abstained from the voting. The council members were told the village pool closed for the season on Aug. 20, but it is still open for private parties and school events. The council members suspended the rules for three readings and declared an emergency to approve an ordinance for an agreement with Double C and Brown Industrial CRA. The council approved the ordinance. Craig Brown abstained from the voting. Kent said council will receive information on the school annexation at the Sept. 25 meeting. The council’s next meeting is Sept. 11 at 7 p.m.

The smoke testing of the storm and sanitary sewer lines has been delayed until next year. Fiscal Officer Linda Pleiman discussed the estimated revenue for 2013 from Local Government Funds.

COLUMBUS – Ohio Lt. Gov. and Department of Insurance Director Mary Taylor announced the department’s Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program (OSHIIP) is holding free Checkup” “Medicare events in every county coincide with to Medicare’s Oct. 15 to Dec. 7 annual enrollment period. The sessions are intended to help people review changes to Medicare and determine their best coverage option for 2013. The first check-up events start in late August and new coverage begins Jan. 1. OSHIIP recently celebrated its 20th anniversary as Medicare’s designated educational program in Ohio for beneficiaries, family members and health care professionals. “Determining the appropriate Medicare coverage should be done with the help of a family member or a knowledgeable and trusted advisor such as a representative from our OSHIIP program,” Taylor said. “This should be a careful, deliberate process so you secure a plan that best meets your healthcare needs and budget.” In addition to the check-up events, people can call OSHIIP at (800) 686-1578 with questions, and for enroll-

Supplement plan. 2) A Medicare Advantage Plan, which provides comprehensive health benefits including drug coverage. 3) Or, determine if their existing coverage will meet their health insurance needs for the upcoming year. When reviewing plan options, Taylor said to consider the convenience of being able to use pharmacies near where you work or live, to take into account all out-of-pocket expenses, and ensure a plan’s covered drug list includes your prescriptions. At the events, beneficiaries can learn about changes to recent Medicare such as the
new Medicare deductibles, co-pay, and coinsurance amounts; Medicare Advantage and Part D plan options for 2013, and about financial assistance programs. Attendees should take their prescription drugs list with dosages and preferred pharmacy, and information on retirement coverage, Veteran’s Administration (VA) or other medical care benefits they receive. Taylor asks Ohioans to watch for predatory sales practices during annual enrollment. Insurance agents are prohibited from using high pressure sales tactics, conducting door-to-door sales for Medicare Advantage plans, and representing themselves as being from Medicare. People who pose to be agents can also use similar tactics. People who feel victimized should get as much information as possible and call the department’s fraud and enforcement hotline at (800) 686-1527. Those with Medicare questions and in need of enrollment assistance, including financial assistance, can call OSHIIP at (800) 686-1578, Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., or at (800) Medicare MEDICARE (633-4227), 24 hours-a-day, seven days-a-week.

FATOR such high-caliber entertainment to this region.” Hobart Arena Director Ken Siler said the arena floor will be reconfigured to accommodate Fator’s Vegas-style show, which, in turn, will provide additional seating capacity. “The last time we had him here in 2008, he sold the place out … so we changed the layout to be able to accommodate more people. And also this time, he will have a full band with him, so it will be more like his act in Vegas,” he said. “We’re very excited to have a headlining act from the strip in Las Vegas — a $100 million dollar act … and I hope that people in the area don’t miss the opportunity to see a world-class act here in Troy, Ohio.” Fator, who took the top prize in Season 2 of America’s Got Talent (2007), is known for his spot-on celebrity impressions and ventriloquism expertise. He signed a multi-million dollar contract in 2008 to perform at The Mirage hotel and casino in Las Vegas, where he has entertained thousands of visitors. The Texas native is expected to bring his

Ohio elections chief ordered to appear at hearing COLUMBUS (AP) — A federal judge in Ohio ordered the state’s elections chief on Wednesday to appear at a court hearing scheduled for next week on the swing state’s early voting rules. The order comes after attorneys for President Barack Obama’s campaign urged the judge in court filings earlier Wednesday to enforce his ruling that gives all voters the option of casting their ballot in person during the three days before Election Day. Ohio is among 32 states, plus the District of Columbia, that allow voters to cast early ballots in person without having to give reasons. U.S. District Judge Peter Economus in Columbus has scheduled a hearing for Sept. 13 on the Obama campaign’s motion and ordered Secretary of State Jon Husted to show up. At issue is a part of the state’s law that cuts off early voting for most residents on the Friday evening before a Tuesday election. The law makes an exception for military personnel and Ohio voters living overseas. Economus issued a

ruling last week, concluding that the state’s law was unconstitutional in changing the in-person early voting deadline and that the state was wrongly valuing certain votes above others.
The judge’s ruling said he expects Husted to direct all county elections boards to maintain a specific, consistent schedule on those three days “in keeping with his earlier directive that only by doing so can he
ensure that Ohio’s election process is ‘uniform, accessible for all, fair, and secure.’” Ohio’s attorney general is appealing the decision to the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati.
Husted, a Republican, told county officials on Tuesday not to set any in-person voting hours during those final days because of the state’s appeal. He issued a directive to the state’s 88 county
boards, saying they were “strictly prohibited” from determining hours for the Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday before the election because a court could later change them.

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, Sept. 7, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be careful not to overdo things at work today or that you don’t take on more than you can handle. Similarly, you might have health-related ideas that are a bit too ambitious. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You love the good life — good food, good drink and luxuries, especially antiques. Although today is a great day to party, don’t do anything you will regret later. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’ll enjoy family gatherings at home today, but something might be a bit excessive. Be aware of this if you to suspect this is starting to happen. (Because it probably will.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your enthusiasm for something makes you extremely optimistic today. Many probably will endorse your ideas, because enthusiasm is always contagious. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Be careful that you don’t go overboard, financially speaking. You might pay too much for something, charge too much or ask too much. Pull in your reins a little. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a happy-go-lucky day for you. Enjoy the company of others, especially in group situations. People will follow you as if you were the Pied Piper. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Something might be spiritually rewarding for you today. You feel in touch with your inner world and at peace with who you are. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Meetings, classes, small get-togethers or large conferences will be successful ventures for you today. Share your big ideas with others, because people might endorse them. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Your ability to think big will impress authority figures or people in charge. You look like a winner, and people are always attracted to success. Well done! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Travel plans are exciting! You feel enthusiastic about your chances to broaden your education and, for some, a chance to explore opportunities in publishing and the media. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) If sharing something with others today, be sensible. Don’t give away the farm. Think about your needs down the road in the future or the needs of those who depend on you. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Relations with partners and close friends will be unusually upbeat and friendly today. Enjoy these good times, and accept any generosity that is extended to you. (It’s the right thing to do.) YOU BORN TODAY You are quite ambitious. You need to have goals, which you then pursue with dedication. You don’t let obstacles deter you. It might be said that you have a one-track mind about going after what you want. Many of you master specific technical skills. You know how to provide leadership for family and friends. In the year ahead, an important choice will arise; choose wisely. Birthdate of: Evan Rachel Wood, actress; Michael Emerson, actor; Devon Sawa, actor. (c) 2012 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

duced dose for those with COPD who have many flare-ups of their illness. A flare-up makes breathing exceedingly difficult and sometimes requires hospitalization to control. Flare-ups add to the destruction of normal lung tissue. Viruses are often the cause. However, the inflamed and mucus-filled airways also are hosts to many bacteria, whose numbers rise during a flare-up. They make a contribution to symptoms and lung destruction. Studies have shown that a daily administration of a rather small dose of azithromycin, 250 milligrams, decreases flare-ups of COPD. Other studies suggest that a three-day
a week dose of azithromycin is equally effective. If you have frequent episodes where your COPD worsens, then talk to your doctor about the advisability of you going on this program. The medicine can be taken for a full year and longer. It’s an exciting breakthrough for those whose spells of COPD worsen. The booklet on COPD explains this common malady in detail.

September 6, 1937 The new Hardin Rural School, erected this year at the east edge of that village, will open its doors to students of the school district next Tuesday morning. A total of $55,000 was expended to erect the handsome new building which will be adequate for all the school needs of the some 150 pupils to be enrolled there during the coming school year. ——— To a Shelby County girl, Miss Alma Jane Lochard of Maplewood, comes the honor of being selected as one of the 15 members of the Ohio State Junior Fair board for the 1937 Junior Ohio State Fair now being held at Columbus. In addition to her work as a board member, she is in charge of the home economics exhibits at the fair.
50 Years September 6, 1962 Miss Kathleen Jelley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John C. Jelley, R.R. 6, Sidney, again was chosen Ohio Angus Queen at the state fair which ended Monday. Miss Jelley, who was Ohio Angus Queen in 1961, was eligible to participate a second time under rules of the competition. Winners are cho-
sen from among Angus association members who have the highest placed animals at the state fair. ——— Rev. R. Wobus, 329 South Miami avenue, is improving nicely in Memorial Hospital, Lima, where he was removed for treatment for a broken hip he received in the fall last week. ——— Miss Olive Owens has returned to her home here on Miami Avenue from spending five weeks in a trip through Alaska, the tour the third she has taken into that 49th state. Miss Owens is teacher of senior civics, of speech and dramatics and is director of dramatics on the Sidney High School staff.
25 Years September 6, 1987 COLUMBUS, OHIO (AP) – While the number of farms is dropping in Ohio, the number of acres farmed statewide has been holding steady at 15.8 million for the past three years. If a farm disappears, a new one is created or the land is usually absorbed into another farm, Dean Simeral of the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation said. A recently released report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture shows Ohio lost 4,000 or its 88,000 farms last year, second only to Indiana. ——— A stamp newspaper published in Sidney broke a story about a stamp error which has made huge profits for those finding the incorrectly printed stamps, including nine employees of the Intelligence Central Agency. The first stories about the error stamp were written by Ken Simon of Linn’s Stamp News, a publication of Amos Press Inc. which is mailed worldwide weekly. ——— MINSTER — Richard “Dick” Bensman, retired editor of The Community Post, has been named grand marshal for the 13th annual Minster Oktoberfest Parade.

filled their heads with lies about us. Their father and I remained noncritical, loving and constant. There were some rocky years, but my stepdaughters and I have made it through. When the younger one was married two years ago, she did a beautiful job including me. Her mother spent the wedding day spewing vile lies about us to anyone who’d listen, and is still bitter these 26 years later. The girls see their mother as she is and do not let her affect their relationship with us. For this I credit my husband, who never tolerated her ill treatment of me.

It is the bane of my professional existence. They cause so much stress for the couple that I’ve had brides break down and cry in my office and choose to elope rather than deal with the drama. Parents must realize that their children are loved by MANY people, and the best gift they can give them on their wedding day is to set aside differences and old grudges in order to support the couple as they begin their marriage. — FRUSTRATED WEDDING PLANNER

AND ENDS
ALEXANDER, N.D. (AP) — It took little more than a day for 18year-old Evan Jensen to smell opportunity in North Dakota’s booming oil patch. The recent high school graduate got a whiff of himself and his 21-year-old brother, Justin. The two had been sleeping in a pickup while looking for work in the oil fields of western North Dakota.
“We smelled,” he said. “Bad.” Thousands of workers have descended on the region to seek their fortune in the oil fields, and housing construction and growth of brick-andmortar businesses haven’t kept up. The closest shower to Jensen was at a truck stop some 60 miles away. It was expensive, filthy and the wait was several hours long.

Lady Cavs whip Piqua Lehman had little trouble with Piqua in high school girls volleyball action Wednesday at Lehman, winning in three games, 25-18, 25-15, 25-20 to go to 6-2 on the season. “There are still some little things we have to improve on,” Lehman coach Greg Snipes said. “But, I thought we did a lot of good things tonight. It was probably our most consistent night hitting the ball.”

On the positive side, a group of players who had no success at all the previous two seasons have still been able to find a way to win in the early going. The Jackets beat St. Marys in overtime in week one, then held on to beat Bellefontaine last week. “Some people say we got lucky two weeks in a row on the (late) fumble,” said Doenges. “But we prepare for those situations. We also prepare for when that kind of stuff happens, how the offensve handles that and the defense handles that. “Bellefontaine had their chances and we had ours,” he added. “I guess in the end it was the team that capitalized the most.” What the first two games definitely showed is what a weapon a good kicker can be. Andre Spillers nailed a 30yard to win in overtime in week one, and his 41-yard field goal last week was the margin of victory. See JACKETS/Page 18
All three sets had a common theme, with Piqua having to dig out of a big hole. Lehman led 10-4 in the firstgame, 17-8 in the second and 10-3 in the third. “I was happy with the way we started — especially in the third game,” Snipes said. “But I wasn't happy that we let them back in the first game and third game. There are just some things like missing serves that we need to get cor-

rected. Once we do that, we will be fine.” Andrea Thobe had 16 kills, 19 assists and 10 digs for a triple double for Lehman. Ellie Cain added nine kills and 20 digs, Erica Paulus had nine digs and four aces, Ellie Waldsmith had seven kills and Ava Schmitz had 10 digs. Piqua is now 1-3. Lehman also won the junior varsity game by scores of 25-15 and 25-11.
After an impressive start to the season, the Anna Rockets embark on MidAthletic west Conference play Friday night at Fort Recovery. The Rockets are off to a 2-0 start after wins over Lehman and Brookville, Williams last week’s by a score that surprised even head coach Bryan Rioch. “I never thought the score would get that out of hand,” said Rioch of the 42-13 final. “They had some real good kids, six or seven that I thought were pretty good. But I thought we hit them in the teeth a little bit at the start and they’re not used to that.” The offense continues to revolve around punishing runner Christian Williams, a 220-pound sophomore that Rioch calls a “throwback.” “He gets stronger as the game goes along,” said the coach. “When we condition, he works hard. He’s one of those throwback backs who gets stronger the longer he goes.” Williams has already carried the ball 65 times in just two games, Rioch doing exactly what he said he would in preseason. Williams is averaging just under 200 yards per game, with 391 so far. And Matt Lindsey is at nearly 100 yards per game, with 194 so far, including 146 last week against Brookville. Anna has thrown the ball just 13 times in two games, but Rioch still wants to see improvement there. “We have to be more efficient in our passing game,” he said. “I don’t know that we need to throw it more, but we have to be more efficient. And that’s not just on the quarterback. That’s on everybody.” See ANNA/Page 2B
Adam Niemeyer
Minster senior quarterback Adam Niemeyer set two school records Friday night in Minster’s 46-7 rout of Lehman. One came on the first touchdown of the game, which went for 94 yards on a pass from Niemeyer to Troy Kauffman. The second record was the career passing yards, which Niemeyer broke on that TD pass. He now has 2,876 passing yards in his career.

Defensively, the Rockets still have players battling for position, and that’s another area to be shored up, he says. “But I like the way this team works.” The Rockets match 20 records with Fort Recovery Friday night on the road. The Indians have shown a penchant for winning the close games, the scores so far being 33-28 over Edgerton and 30-27 over Waynesfield.
“Their quarterback is a big, strong kid and he runs well,” said Rioch. “I’ve handed down the edict. We have to make somebody else beat us. We have to shut his water off. “We’re getting a little better each week and that’s the goal,” he added.

JACKETS In addition, sophomore running back Eric Barnes has sparked the offense. In two games so far, the speedster is averaging just under 90 yards a game, and he reached the 100-yard mark last week in the win over Bellefontaine on just 14 carries, 7.1 yards per carry. The Jacket defense will be tested Friday night by West Carrollton quarterback Chad Vannest, who so far has competed 64 percent of his passes for 236 yards. He has thrown three interceptions, however. His favorite target is Trevan Reynolds, who has exactly half of those completions for 137 yards. The Pirates are yielding 382 total yards per game, including 263 rushing. A lot of those yards came last week in a 45-17 loss to Franklin, which totaled 472 yards in the game.

“I think you’ll see two exact same teams Friday night when we play them,” said Doenges. “We have the same philosophies offensively and defensively. So when you have two similar teams, it’s going to come down to making plays, and Xs and Os. “They’ve got some good-sized kids on the line, one 300-plus,” he continued. “They have a nice, tall quarterback and a 6-3, 6-4 kid on the outside. And he’s their go-to guy.” Doenges said if the Jackets have an advantage, it’s fewer players going both ways. “I definitely think that played a big role last week,” he said. “Bellefontaine had to get some of those guys out and we were able to capitalize against their backups. So I hope it’s nice and hot again Friday night.”

fast, so offensively, we have to strap it up and get at it. Offensively, they have two junior running backs who are very fast, and they like to get one of them on the outside and let him go.” This will be the final game between the two for the foreseeable future. Indian Lake dropped Lehman from its schedule and picked up Upper Scioto Valley. “I wish they would have stayed with us,” said Roll. “I’ve enjoyed playing them.” This last meeting is a big one for the Cavs, Roll said. “A win will change the attitude of the kids, and will put us back in the hunt for a playoff spot,” he said. “So it’s an important one for us.”

COMPANY Denny Hamlin’s 1 winGOODat Atlanta was the 21st of his Cup
SPRINT CUP SERIES Track: Richmond International Raceway Race: Federated Auto Parts 400 When: Saturday, Sept. 8 TV: ABC (7:00 p.m. EST) Layout: .75-mile oval Banking/Turns: 14 degrees Banking/Frontstretch: 8 degrees Banking/Backstretch: 2 degrees April Winner: Kyle Busch Crew Chief’s Take: “Richmond is a fast, short track that has a lot of challenges. It almost drives like a superspeedway because the corner speed is very high. It takes the right balance of having the car turn in the center of the corner without giving up forward drive off the corner. Fuel mileage and pit strategy come into play at times, so you need to make sure you stay on top of that throughout the race. Richmond is a track where a driver can make a big difference.”
career, which began in earnest in 2006. He is tied for 31st on NASCAR’s all-time wins list with Jeff Burton, Bobby Labonte, Benny Parsons and Jack Smith. Sunday’s triumph was also his fourth of the year, marking the third time in four full-time Cup campaigns that he has won at least four races. His eight-win season of 2010 — when he finished second in the point standings — has been his most successful to date. DRAMA ENDED Tony Stewart addressed his helmet-toss incident at Bristol with the media last weekend, saying, “Yeah, we (Stewart and Matt Kenseth) are fine. It’s like we mentioned earlier in the week, we have too much to do the last 10 weeks to be worrying about each other. It’s just like we always said, there are 43 people out there and they are not always going to agree on the track at the same time.” SILLY SEASON GETS SILLIER On Saturday, team owner Richard Childress told SiriusXM NASCAR Radio that current Nationwide Series points leader Elliott Sadler has not re-signed with his team for 2013. Sadler then confirmed on Monday that he would not be back with the team next year. Speculation centers on Sadler jumping to Joe Gibbs Racing for a full Nationwide campaign next season, as well as a partial stint in a fourth JGR Cup car. ANOTHER FIRST-TIMER Richard Childress Racing’s Ty Dillon scored the first win of his Camping World Truck Series career in Friday’s race at Atlanta. In his first season on the circuit, Dillon sits third, nine points behind championship leader Timothy Peters, in the championship standings.

The Stage is Set
Hamlin wins Atlanta; Busch, Gordon to settle wild card in Richmond By MATT TALIAFERRO Athlon Sports Racing Editor
The weekend was shaping up to be of a story-book nature for Martin Truex Jr. Having held a press conference at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Friday announcing his contract extension with Michael Waltrip Racing — and the three-year extension of sponsor NAPA — Truex found himself firmly in control of the AdvoCare 500 with four laps remaining. It was then that the feel-good story turned into a nightmare. A caution for Jamie McMurray’s blown tire on lap 321 of 325 forced teams to pit road for fresh tires for a two-lap, green-white-checker finish. And when Denny Hamlin’s No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing team got his Toyota out of the pits before Truex, he chose the preferred low line for the dash to the finish. Truex, restarting on the high side, spun his tires as the green flag was displayed, allowing Hamlin and third-place Jeff Gordon to scoot away. When Gordon chose not to give Hamlin a nudge in the final turn of the final lap, the latter cruised through Atlanta’s quad-oval to earn his second-straight Cup Series victory and series-best fourth of the season. “I feel like we had the best car,” Hamlin said. “But circumstances just fell our way at the end, and when you start to falter and you start to
fade, you’ve got to have another aspect of the team that picks you up, and today it was the pit crew that won us this race. We’re very blessed for that.” Truex, who slipped to fourth behind Gordon and Brad Keselowski in the finishing order, could only mutter a few dejected sentences on pit road following the event. “It sure would have been nice to get a win,” Truex, who last won a Cup race in 2007, said. “We’ve been pretty close here lately. It just sucks when you have one locked up like that and a caution comes out. That’s the way it goes, and we weren’t good enough on restarts. Just wasn’t good enough tonight.” Despite the absence of wins, Truex sits fifth in the series point standings and clinched a spot in the Chase for the Championship with his fourthplace showing on Sunday. Gordon, who has one victory this year (Pocono), faces a tough challenge when the circuit hits Richmond International Raceway this weekend in the final regular-season race of the year. At 13th in the standings, Gordon is in a dogfight with Kyle Busch for the second wild card spot in the Chase (Kasey Kahne has a virtual wrap on the first spot thanks to his two wins). Busch, with a single win, currently holds a 12-point advantage over the four-time champ and can clinch a
I On Tuesday, Joe Gibbs Racing made official the signing of Matt Kenseth to drive its No. 20 Toyota beginning in 2013. The Home Depot and Dollar General will continue as the co-primary sponsors. Kenseth announced in May that he would not be returning to Roush Fenway Racing at the conclusion of the season after a 15-year Cup Series term with the company. Kenseth won the 2000 Cup Series Rookie of the Year, the 2003 Cup championship and two Daytona 500s in Jack Roush’s No. 17 Ford.
wild card by finishing 12 spots ahead of Gordon at Richmond. “I guess I’m just getting soft in my old age,” Gordon quipped. “I’m too nice because, I don’t know, 15 years ago I would have just moved him (Hamlin) right up the race track (on the final lap). I don’t know why I didn’t do that.” With the opportunity squandered, Gordon will have to be flawless while also aggressive at the .75-mile short track on Saturday. “It’s going to be intense,” Gordon said of the upcoming Richmond race. “Don’t get in front of me on the last lap. It’s not going to happen twice.” Busch, who won at RIR in April and has averaged a 4.7-place finish at the track in 15 career Cup starts isn’t taking the task lightly. “I’m not saying that I’m for sure going to be in at all,” Busch said. “Anything can happen. Jeff is no slouch at Richmond, either. He will be fine. I feel like that’s the guy we’re racing — we’ll just have to see how it all plays out. Jeff could give us a run for our money.” “You don’t want to have to go beat Kyle Busch at Richmond,” Gordon noted. “I’m not going into it thinking that we’ve got to finish, whatever, 12 positions ahead of Kyle. I’m thinking we’ve got to win.” Let the final chapter of NASCAR’s regular season begin.
Joey Logano, who currently pilots Gibbs’ No. 20 car, is expected to announce his intent to sign with Penske Racing and its No. 22 team, possibly by the end of the week. I Office Depot announced over the Atlanta race weekend that it would not return as a primary sponsor for defending series champion Tony Stewart in 2013. Office Depot has been with Stewart-Haas Racing as a sponsor on the No. 14 Chevy since the company’s inception in 2009. Office Depot acted as the primary sponsor for 23 races this year for Stewart.

TONY STEWART As if results weren’t already tough on Stewart, he now has to find replacement sponsors for both himself and teammate Ryan Newman. Or else Newman may not be a teammate for long.
Classic Moments Richmond International Raceway
Richard Petty’s magical run at the Richmond Fairgrounds Raceway came to an end courtesy of a blown engine in October 1975. Petty was the winner in nine of the previous 10 races at the .542-mile track. After Petty’s motor expired 34 laps into the Capital City 500, Dave Marcis, Lennie Pond and Cale Yarborough traded licks, with Pond leading the most laps (205) on the afternoon. However, Darrell Waltrip, racing the No. 88 DiGard Chevy, passed Pond on lap 375 and lapped the field from there. Waltrip’s win was the first of 43 career Cup victories for the DiGard operation (26 with Waltrip). After Waltrip left in 1980, the DiGard team would find success with Bobby Allison, Ricky Rudd and in the Firecracker 400 with Greg Sacks.
Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: Kyle Busch is as good at Richmond’s current configuration as any driver, past or present. Pretty Solid Pick: Denny Hamlin is a close second at RIR to Busch. Plus, it’s his home track. Good Sleeper Pick: Can Kevin Harvick’s new crew chief make the difference? Yep. Runs on Seven Cylinders: Brad Keselowski, thus far. Insider Tip: With Chase implications on the line, stick with Busch, who needs the win.
10. Jeff Gordon 11. Kyle Busch 12. Kevin Harvick 13. Tony Stewart 14. Marcos Ambrose 15. Paul Menard ASP, Inc. Just off the lead pack:
Denny Hamlin
Denny Hamlin may be the hottest driver on the Cup circuit at the moment, but Johnson’s team will still be the one everyone keeps an eye on going into the Chase. Became the first driver since Tony Stewart in last season’s playoffs to score consecutive wins on the Cup circuit, with victories at Bristol and Atlanta. This is not the Denny Hamlin of 2011, folks. Throw out Keselowski’s disastrous night in Bristol (which is a real rarity) and you’ll find a driver with eight straight runs of ninth or better. Along with Johnson and Hamlin, he has to be a title favorite. Persevered for a respectable seventh-place showing on what was shaping up to be an off night in Atlanta. The consistency is unquestioned, but can Junior post a couple wins in the Chase? Was expecting more out of the points leader at the fast and slick Atlanta track. That said, his team of intermediate-track specialists will be ready for the Chase kickoff at the 1.5-mile Chicagoland Speedway. Victory slips through Truex’s fingers once again. He and the No. 56 team’s performance in the closing laps at Atlanta are what separate the “title contenders” from the “playoff participants.” One has to wonder how his Roush Fenway bunch will react now that Kenseth has walked the halls and officially announced his Joe Gibbs Racing relationship. Moved into the top 10 from a rear-of-the-field starting spot at Atlanta before battery issues cost him three laps. Could Bowyer be a guy who breaks up the Kyle Busch/Jeff Gordon battle royal in Richmond? Looking to make up the 19 points he’ll need to slide ahead of Tony Stewart in the standings and take advantage of the bonus points he’ll receive for the two wins. That may be a lot to ask. Gordon regretted not putting the fender to Hamlin on the final lap at Atlanta. Considering all that’s riding on a win, I’m scratching my head as to why he didn’t, either. Busch can win at Richmond, no doubt. But can JGR give him a piece that lasts the whole race? The last couple of weeks makes me wonder why Harvick and Gill Martin split up in the first place. Point to ponder: Danica Patrick is currently the only driver at SHR with full sponsorship in 2013. Valiant performances by Ambrose and the team over the last month is example of too little, too late. Here’s betting the “Paul Menard Empire” is the only group that knew he has three straight top 10s. Carl Edwards, Sam Hornish Jr., Joey Logano, Mark Martin, Ryan Newman

Homers help Phils whip Reds CINCINNATI (AP) — Give Roy Halladay a four-run lead and then sit back and watch the Doc do the rest. Erik Kratz hit a three-run home run, Chase Utley added a two-run shot, and the Phillies’ ace right-hander held off the Reds in Philadelphia’s 6-2 win over Cincinnati on Wednesday. Halladay, 4-1 in his last six starts, is 110-0 when he is staked to a lead of at least four runs. Halladay (9-7) scattered eight hits over 7 1-3 innings, allowing one run with five strikeouts and one walk. Philadelphia won two of three in the series against the NL Central leaders. The two-time Cy Young Award winner isn’t as sharp as he would like to be these days, but he is getting better. “Roy did fine,” Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. “As his arm gets stronger, he’ll get more velocity. He has good movement. He made pitches when he had to.” Halladay felt much better considering his last start was his shortest outing since his July 17 return from the disabled list. “It was good. There were a couple pitches here and there that were problems because of location as much as anything,” Halladay said. “They (the Reds) had some good at-bats.” All-Star first baseman Joey Votto returned to the Reds lineup for the first time since July 15

CINCINNATI REDS' Joey Votto gets a hit off Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Roy Halladay in the first inning of a baseball game Wednesday in Cincinnati. Votto was playing in his first game since July 15 because of a knee injury. and lined the third pitch he saw in 52 days to left field for a single with two outs in the first inning. “I thought Joey Votto would be more rusty,” Halladay said. The Reds went 32-16 while Votto was out due to two operations related to a torn meniscus in his left knee. Votto finished 2-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout for Cincinnati, which lost a series for just the third time in 16 matchups since the AllStar break (11-3-2). “It went better than expected,” Votto said. “Unfortunately it came in a loss.” Reds manager Dusty Baker had his eye on the 2010 NL MVP. “Joey was fine. I think the rehab really helped,” Baker said. “I was going
to take him out, but he said he was fine.” Jay Bruce homered for the fourth consecutive game, but it wasn’t enough to rally the Reds in the ninth inning. For the second time in less than three weeks, Reds starter Mike Leake was roughed up by the Phillies. After giving up a career-high seven runs in 4 1-3 innings in Cincinnati’s 12-5 loss at Philadelphia on Aug. 20, Leake (7-9) was touched for six more in just 2 1-3 innings on Wednesday. He gave up six hits with a walk and a strikeout. “They have a lot of good hitters that I haven’t figured out yet,” Leake said. “They have a good plan and make it work.” The Phillies opened
the second inning with consecutive singles by Ryan Howard, John Mayberry Jr., and Domonic Brown before Kratz hit a 2-2 pitch into the left-field seats for a three-run homer, his ninth shot of the season. Kratz has nine home runs and 24 RBI in 108 at-bats, including a .471 average (8-for-17) against Cincinnati. “Kratz got us on the board,” Manuel said. “We talk about run production. He keeps hitting home runs. He might be Babe Ruth.” Leake was knocked out of the game in the third inning after he issued a leadoff walk to Juan Pierre and gave up Utley’s 10th homer of the season, a 414-foot drive to center field on the first pitch.
