BY KATHY LEESE Several parties are challenging Shelby County Sheriff John Lenhart’s qualifications to run for election in the Tuesday election, a move seen by Lenhart and Republican leaders as politically motivated. Among those questioning Lenhart’s credibility are former Sheriff Dean Kimpel, who was forced from office due to criminal charges and Shelby County Humane Society President Mike Lescowitch, who has been indicted on charges following a probe of Society finances by the sheriff. The contention is that

SHERIFF theft in office, allege wrongdoing by Lenhart, and told the Sidney Daily News he is being assisted in his efforts by Kimpel. Kimpel was sentenced on a felony count of unauthorized use of a computer or a telecommunications device on June 8. He is currently serving two years probation. Lescowitch claimed Lenhart is not certified or qualified to serve as sheriff because he had not served as a law enforcement officer over the last four years as required by the Ohio Revised Code (ORC). He alleged that also Lenhart committed theft in office by using what he said was the county’s podium and other equipment when he announced he was running for office while standing on the courthouse steps. He also said Lenhart has committed other offenses. The Daily News has learned, however, that the podium was owned by the Lenhart family and other equipment was supplied by friends and was not county property.

Lescowitch said he found copies of Lenhart’s official documents to run for sheriff in his mailbox “with a note” telling him to do something with it. Shelby County Board of Elections Director Dawn Billing confirmed that Kimpel had picked up copies of the documents at the election board office. Lescowitch said he and Kimpel have been spending time together, noting that he goes to his home to visit and they talk about issues, including Lenhart’s candidacy.

Clinton hits Romney for ad he calls lie BY JOHN SEEWER Associated Press PERRYSBURG (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Former President Bill Clinton joined a chorus of Democrats who are blasting Mitt Romney over campaign ads that claim General Motors and Chrysler are adding jobs in China at the expense of Ohio. Clinton, campaigning for President Barack Obama across the all-important state of Ohio on Thursday, said Romneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response to the criticism from the automakers has been to pour money into ads that he knows are false. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That should be all you need to know,â&#x20AC;? Clinton said at a rally just outside Toledo, where Chrysler operates two factories and plans to add 1,100 jobs at its assembly plant. Romneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presidential campaign has fought back against criticism from Democrats and the automakers, arguing that the ads are accurate. The ads repeat a version of Romneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claim at a rally in Ohio last week that Chrysler is moving Jeep production to China. Chrysler insists that no jobs are being moved. A new radio spot airing in the Toledo area on Thursday said Romney, not Obama, was more supportive of the auto industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mitt Romney, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll stand up for the auto industry

in Ohio, not China,â&#x20AC;? the ad said. Vice President Joe Biden a day earlier called the ads flagrantly dishonest. Romney opposed the 2009 government bailout of GM and Chrysler, which Obama championed. Romney spokesman Chris Maloney said Thursday that taxpayers stand to lose $25 billion over Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handling of the bailout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The criticism proves that partisan allies are not interested in engaging in a meaningful conversation about the Obama administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s failed record during the last week of the campaign,â&#x20AC;? Maloney said. Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan said GM and Chrysler are expanding their production overseas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are facts that voters deserve to know as they listen to the claims President Obama and his campaign are making.â&#x20AC;? The auto bailout and its impact in Ohio is shaping up to be one of the defining issues in the presidential campaign in Ohio, a state every Republican has won on the way to the White House. Backers of the bailout say one in eight jobs in Ohio can be linked to the auto industry, which includes both factory workers and those who sell groceries to plant employees. All the Detroit automakers have a big presence in the state,

especially in the northern half where Obama is counting on a big turnout from union households. The Toledo area alone has two Chrysler plants, a GM factory and dozens of supplier operations. Clinton started his day in Wisconsin and will make three speeches in Ohio before going on to Florida for a slew of rallies. He apologized for his raspy voice and corrected himself after saying he was honored to be in Pennsylvania. His harsh words about the GOP presidential hopeful struck a much different tone than his remarks at a rally two weeks ago near Cleveland where he barely mentioned Romney. But with only a few days left in the campaign, the former president has sharpened his speeches. He said Romneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prediction that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll create 12 million jobs if elected is based on what will happen because of policies Obama already has in place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His argument is you must be disappointed so put me in so I can claim credit for these jobs I had nothing to do with it,â&#x20AC;? he said. Romneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to cut taxes will come at the expense of health care for the poor and affordable loans for college students, Clinton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it works,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have tried it before.â&#x20AC;?

HONDA edge of quality, efficiency and flexibility.â&#x20AC;? Consistent with longstanding Hondaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to build products close to the customer, on Nov. 1, 1982, Honda became the first Japanese automaker to produce automobiles in America (using domestic and globally sourced parts) when the first Honda Accord rolled off the assembly line at the Marysville auto plant. Honda builds automobiles, engines and transin North missions America at seven auto plants, three auto engine plants and two transmission plants, with the capacity to produce 1.63 million cars and trucks per year. When combined with planned production increases at Hondaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U.S. auto plants, the 2014 start of production of sub-compact vehicles at Hondaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eighth North American auto plant, now under construction in Mexico, will increase Hondaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s North American capacity to 1.92 million units. The company has steadily grown its U.S. manufacturing, R&D and sales operations, and today employs more than 26,000 associates and operates nine major manufacturing plants and 15 R&D facilities in the U.S., including four auto plants with an annual capacity of 1.08 million Honda and Acura vehicles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hondaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U.S. responsibilities have matured into global capabilities for manufacturing, R&D and engineering,â&#x20AC;? said Rick Schostek, senior vice president, Honda of America Mfg. Inc. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we begin to take on a larger role within global Honda to meet the needs of customers around the world, this is the right moment to reflect on the great accomplishment by our team of associates in Ohio in Hondaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first 30 years of U.S. auto production.â&#x20AC;? In the coming years, Honda operations in North America will take on new responsibilities for the mass production launch of global Honda models. Honda associates in North America will help set the standards for production processes for

From Page 1 key global products that also are made in other regions and then share their knowledge and expertise to support Honda plants all around the globe. As part of this new global lead role, Honda also will increase exports from North America to global markets. Later this year, Honda will reach the 1 million mark in total automobile exports from the U.S. Honda also is increasing its export of major auto parts by almost 70 percent this year in support of Honda plants in South America, Europe and Asia. This will be a substantial increase in business for North American suppliers that will grow even greater in the coming years. With the latest $200 million investment at the Anna Engine Plant and Honda Transmission Manufacturing, Hondaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U.S. capital investment exceeds $12.5 billion. In the last two years, Honda has invested more than $2 billion in new manufacturing capabilities in North America. The investments include: â&#x20AC;˘ $400 million and 190 new jobs at its Lincoln, Ala., auto and engine plant to increase production by 40,000 vehicles per year (to 340,000) and the addition of Acura MDX production in early 2013 (transitioning from Honda of Canada Mfg. Plant 2). â&#x20AC;˘ $299 million and 200 new jobs at the Anna Engine Plant to innovate and expand local production of powertains and components, including production of pulleys for continuously variable transmissions and a new 320,000-square-foot parts consolidation center. â&#x20AC;˘ $40 million and nearly 300 new jobs at the Greensburg, Ind.,

auto plant to increase production by 50,000 units per year (to 250,000) and to add Civic Hybrid production, the plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second hybrid model, by early 2013. The Indiana plant added a second production shift in October 2011, creating 1,000 new positions and doubling the plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capacity to 200,000 vehicles per year. â&#x20AC;˘ $166 million at the East Liberty auto plant for a 195,000-square foot expansion including new door and instrument panel assembly lines, an extended final assembly line and a new vehiclequality department. â&#x20AC;˘ $175 million and 100 new jobs at the Russells Point transmission plant to increase high-pressure die casting operations and to add a third line for production of advanced, efficient continuously variable transmissions for the 2013 Accord. â&#x20AC;˘ $64 million at the Marysville Auto Plant for a 24,000-square foot expansion and new metal stamping capabilities. â&#x20AC;˘ $800 million for a new automobile plant in Celaya, Guanajuato, Mexico, with an annual capacity of 200,000 units for the production of subcompact vehicles. The plant will employ 3,200 associates at full capacity and is schedule to begin Honda Fit production in 2014. In addition to direct investments, Honda also works with approximately 500 U.S. OEM parts and materials suppliers, and purchased $14.4 billion in OEM parts and materials from U.S. suppliers in 2011. Honda has more than 600 parts suppliers in North America, with purchases expected to exceed $20 billion this year. The 30th anniversary commemoration began in August with the mass-

production start of the all-new 2013 Honda Accord at the Marysville Auto Plant. The completely new ninth-generation Honda Accord lineup includes the Accord Sedan and Accord powered by Coupe Hondaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Earth Dreams technology powertrain series, including

direct-injected 4-cylinder, V-6 and two-motor hybrid powertrains, teamed to new manual, automatic and continuously variable transmission (CVT) options. An all-new 2014 Accord Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) Sedan is scheduled to debut in early 2013, followed by the new two-

motor full hybrid, based on the same powertrain architecture, in later 2013. The first Japanese car built in Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a silver-gray 1983-model Accord bearing Ohio license plate USA 001 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is on display at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Mich.

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Friday, Nov. 2, the 307th day of 2012. There are 59 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 2, 1962, President John F. Kennedy delivered a brief statement to the nation in which he said that aerial photographs had confirmed that Soviet missile bases in Cuba were being dismantled, and that “progress is now being made toward the restoration of peace in the Caribbean.” On this date: ■ In 1783, Gen. George Washington issued his Farewell Orders to the Armies of the United States near Princeton, N.J. ■ In 1795, the 11th president of the United States, James Knox Polk, was born in Mecklenburg County, N.C. ■ In 1865, the 29th president of the United States, Warren Gamaliel Harding, was born near Marion, Ohio. ■ In 1889, North Dakota and South Dakota became the 39th and 40th states. ■ In 1917, British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour issued a declaration expressing support for a “national home” for the Jews in Palestine. ■ In 1936, the British Broadcasting Corp. inaugurated “high-definition” television service from Alexandra Palace in London. ■ In 1947, Howard Hughes piloted his huge wooden flying boat, the Hughes H-4 Hercules (derisively dubbed the “Spruce Goose” by detractors), on its only flight, which lasted about a minute over Long Beach Harbor in California. ■ In 1948, President Harry S. Truman surprised the experts by winning a narrow upset over Republican challenger Thomas E. Dewey. ■ In 1959, former game show contestant Charles Van Doren admitted to a House subcommittee that he’d been given questions and answers in advance when he appeared on NBC’s “Twenty-One.” ■ In 1963, South Vietnamese President Ngo Dihn Diem (noh ding ZEE’-em) was assassinated in a military coup. ■ In 1979, black militant JoAnne Chesimard escaped from a New Jersey prison, where she’d been serving a life sentence for the 1973 slaying of New Jersey state trooper Werner Foerster. (Chesimard, who took the name Assata Shakur, is believed to be living in Cuba.) ■ In 1992, movie producer Hal Roach died in Los Angeles at age 100.

OUT OF THE BLUE

SUV stuck on fence YUMA, Ariz. (AP) — Suspected smugglers who tried to use ramps to drive an SUV over a 14-foot-tall border fence had to abandon their plan when the Jeep became stuck on top of the barrier, authorities said Wednesday. Agents patrolling the U.S.-Mexico border near the Imperial Sand Dunes in California's southeast corner spotted the Jeep Cherokee teetering atop the fence early Tuesday, Border Patrol spokesman Spencer Tippets said. The vehicle was perched about five miles west of the Colorado River and the Arizona state line. Two smugglers on the Mexican side of the border were trying to free the Jeep when the agents approached, Tippets said. They ran further into Mexico and escaped.

Obama, Romney both claim to be candidate of change BY KASIE HUNT Associated Press DOSWELL, Va. (AP) — Five days before the election, Republican challenger Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama vied forcefully for the mantle of change Thursday in a country thirsting for it after a painful recession and uneven recovery, pressing intense closing arguments in their unpredictably close race for the White House. Early voting topped 22 million ballots. Republicans launched a late push in Pennsylvania, long viewed as safe for Obama. The party announced a $3 million advertising campaign that told voters who backed the president four years ago, “it’s OK to make a change.” Romney and running mate Paul Ryan both announced weekend visits to the state. The Obama campaign was increasing its ad buy in Pennsylvania following the RNC’s move, an aide said while declining to cite how just much the campaign planned to spend. A three-day lull that followed Super-

storm Sandy ended abruptly, the president campaigning briskly across three battleground states and Romney piling up three stops in a fourth. The Republican also attacked with a tough new Spanish-language television ad in Florida showing Venezuela’s leftist leader, Hugo Chavez, and Raul Castro’s daughter, Mariela, saying they would vote for Obama. The storm intruded once again into the race, as New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg endorsed the president in a statement that said Sandy, which devastated his city, could be evidence of climate change. Of the two White House rivals, Bloomberg wrote, “One sees climate change as an urgent problem that threatens our planet; one does not. I want our president to place scientific evidence and risk management above electoral politics.” The ever-present polls charted a close race for the popular vote, and a series of tight battleground surveys suggested neither man could be confident of suc-

cess in the competition for the 270 electoral votes that will decide the winner. The presidential race aside, the two parties battled for control of the Senate in a series of 10 or more competitive campaigns. The possibility of a 50-50 tie loomed, or even a more unsettled outcome if former Gov. Angus King of Maine, an independent, wins a threeway race and becomes majority-maker. Obama’s aides left North Carolina off the president’s itinerary in the campaign’s final days, a decision that Republicans trumpeted as a virtual concession of the state. Yet Romney’s team omitted Ohio and Wisconsin from a list of battlegrounds where they claimed narrow advantage. The Republican National Committee ad in Pennsylvania aired earlier in other areas of the country. Far less aggressive than many of the GOP attacks on the president, it said Obama took office promising economic improvement but had failed to deliver. “He tried. You tried. It’s OK to make a change,” says the announcer.

Superstorm effects state by state BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The massive storm that started out as Hurricane Sandy slammed into the East Coast and morphed into a huge and problematic system, killing at least 90 people in the United States. Power outages now stand at more than 4.1 million homes and businesses, down from a peak of 8.5 million. Here’s a snapshot of what is happening, state by state.

Consumers give economy lift before election WASHINGTON (AP) — A flurry of data issued Thursday sketched a brightening view of the U.S. economy in the final days before a presidential election that will pivot on the strength of the recovery. Cheaper gas, rising home prices and lower unemployment have given consumers the confidence to spend more. And retailers, auto dealers and manufacturers are benefiting. At the same time, many employers remain anxious about the economy, which is why only modest hiring gains are forecast

for Friday’s jobs report for October. It will be the last major report on the economy before Election Day. Both presidential candidates pressed their arguments Thursday for why President Barack Obama’s economic stewardship should or should not earn him another four-year term. Campaigning in Roanoke, Va., Mitt Romney argued that under Obama, household incomes have fallen behind inflation and poverty has worsened. Obama, in a speech in Green Bay, Wis., contended that Romney’s proposals are the

same “top-down policies that crashed our economy.” The president said his own economic approach was similar to Bill Clinton’s in the 1990s, when the U.S. economy generated tens of millions of jobs and incomes surged. Economists think Friday’s jobs report will show that the unemployment rate rose to 7.9 percent in October from 7.8 percent in September. Coming so close to the election, though, the most recent economic figures aren’t expected to alter the outcome. Few voters are thought to still be undecided.

had to have two stents put in. We wish her better health in the future. Joe’s uncle and aunt, John and Susie, have always been kind to offer us a place to sleep when we come to Ohio, so we might take them up on their offer. Joe has a sister, brother and more uncles and aunts living in that area, so hopefully we can see everyone if our plans work out. The firemen were at school this week giving the children lots of good advice about fires. Son Kevin, 7, has been telling all of us what we should do if there is a fire. This is a good thing for children to know but we just got a laugh out of how he was trying to give us lessons. He said, “And don’t leave toys laying on the stairs,” then he went over to check our stairs and saw one of his small toys lying on the steps. He quickly picked it up and stuffed it in his pocket, thinking we wouldn’t notice. His chatter has entertained us quite often. I will share a simple cornbread recipe for this week: EASY CORNBREAD 1 cup flour 1 cup cornmeal 1 egg, beaten 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/4 cup oil 1 cup milk 1/4 cup sugar Mix all ingredients just until mixed.

I usually have a list of places I would like to visit, so before I leave, I map routes to and from. I look up bus or train schedules on the Internet, since most have websites. All you need are the addresses of the starting and ending locations. You type in the information, and the mapping website will tell you what bus or train you need to take. It even includes stops and transfers. I find that it saves money and gives me a little different perspective of the place I am visiting. — A Reader in Illinois

‘Child Lures’ program set

Care board gets reports Members of the board of Compassionate Care of Shelby County heard reports during their recent meeting. Director Theresa Ditmer said that the year-todate numbers were as follows: Unduplicated patients, 1,677; new patients, 258; total visits, 2,626; dental visits, 272; prescriptions filled, 1,391; and PAP applications, 592. The number of medical patient continues to lag behind 2011 totals, due to the need for more doctors to provide services at the clinic, she said. Debbie Wolfinger reported that seats for the champagne luncheon Nov. 10 at the Piqua Country Club were sold out on Sept. 25 with a waiting list started. Marsha Bonhart will be the speaker.

They are employees of Shelby County Children Services. The display illustrated the empty place left at a family’s table when someone is the victim of domestic violence. October was Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

To raise awareness about youth safety, Gateway Youth Programs will offer an eight-week series of classes titled “Child Lures” beginning Nov. 14. The enrollment deadline is Nov. 9. The classes are for children in grades three through six in Shelby County. They will be weekly on Wednesdays from 4 to 5 p.m. in the Gateway Youth Program building, formerly Lowell School, 702 S. Main Ave. The fee is $25 per child. “Child Lures” is based on a “Think First, Stay Safe” curriculum that focuses on teaching children how to recognize potentially dangerous situations. The participants will learn specific methods that criminals use to lure unsuspecting children into harmful situations. Some of the lures that will be covered are

authority, affection, pets, assistance, fun, money, Internet, and friends. Class discussion will include promoting healthy social relationships, setting personal boundaries, and nurturing mutual kindness and respect. Krista Hoying, youth advocate at Gateway Youth Programs, will facilitate the classes. “Children are very trusting and therefore they can become targets. This class is a way to empower these children to help keep them safe from the dangers they face in our world today” said Hoying. “The ‘Child Lures’ program has a way of relating to the youth in a way that is easy to understand but gets to the point, all while having fun. The kids really enjoy it.” To enroll a child, call 492-8225, ext. 207.

ELECTION 2012

Sidney Daily News, November 2, 2012

4TH The candidates have responded to questions submitted by the Sidney Daily News. Why are you running for office? Jordan: Our country is at a serious crossroads. If Congress continues to borrow and spend as it has for the past few years, it will bankrupt our nation. We need to elect fiscal conservatives to Congress who will work to balance the federal budget and start paying down the national debt. I have introduced more spending cuts over the past six years than any member of Congress. I have authored balanced budgets and I developed the “Cut, Cap and Balance” plan, which would have fundamentally changed how Washington spends. I have been recognized by taxpayer watchdog groups as one of the best spending cutters in Congress. I have done this while providing excellent constituent service and running one of the lowest-spending offices in all of Congress. I would be honored to serve another term as congressman and continue this fight. Kalla: “I’m running because I want to reduce the size of the federal government. I support cutting 43 cents on every dollar we spend. I support the FairTax. I support ending all undeclared wars and bringing our troops home. I support marriage equality. I support the elimination of the Department of Education to return education to the control of teachers, principals and parents. I support property rights as a means to keep our air and water clean. I support the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, the PATRIOT Act, the NDAA, and HR 347. I oppose any censorship of the Internet.” Slone: Because of all the constant conflicts in Congress and the lack of Congress to move the country ahead. Why should voters elect you instead of your opponents? Kalla: Voters should vote for me because I think I represent most Americans. I’m fiscally responsible and socially tolerant. It’s a position without contradiction because at the very core they result from the most American idea for

Base salary: $174,000 Duties: To represent residents of the 4th Congressional District (Allen, Auglaize, Shelby, Logan, Union, Champaign, Marion, Crawford, Senecca, Sandusky, Erie, Huron and Lorain counties) and enact legislation for the benefit of the United States and its citizens. government: limited government as established by the Constitution. Slone: Because the current congressman lacks the ability to compromise to move the country forward and I do. I have the training to resolve conflicts and bring people together. I also don’t owe my soul to Grover Norquist as the current congressman does. Jordan: As mentioned above, I stand up and fight for the taxpayers and families I represent, whether it be toward a balanced budget or other fiscally responsible measures to get the nation’s finances back on track. I have a proven track record of fighting for spending cuts, balanced budgets, and the “Cut, Cap and Balance” plan, all while focusing on constituent service and running one of the lowest-spending offices in all of Congress. Americans currently give Congress a very low approval rating. What would you do to remedy this? Slone: I would start by finding others who are interested in what is best for the country and not what is best for themselves and the people who own them. Then we could start working on the current problems facing us. Jordan: Congress deserves a low approval rating for not stepping up to take the bold action necessary to fix federal finances and get our economy back on track. Many in Congress think we can continue down the same troubled road simply because “that’s the way things have always been done around here.” But the problems we face are real, and we must change the ways of Washington. For example, rather than simply raising the debt ceiling as has always been done, we need to put reforms in place that will stop the overspending

from happening again. That’s why I came up with the Cut, Cap and Balance plan that would cut spending now, cap it as a percentage of GDP moving forward, and send a balanced budget amendment to the states. Congress Kalla: could improve its image by simply adopting transparency. Simple things like giving the people a chance to read the bills before voting on them, passing one law at a time, closing congressional loopholes on insider trading, and stop voting for your own pay increases. Once we can actually see what’s happening, then we can start working together. What is the solution to congressional deadlock that has plagued Congress in recent years? Jordan: I wish the answer were easy. The answer takes participation by everyone. But I believe the president can lead the way in promoting bipartisan cooperation among Congress. There were some bills that came through the House in the past few years that ended up being incredibly partisan because of the way they were handled from the president and the Speaker of the House, namely the stimulus bill and the Affordable Care Act. Kalla: Congressional deadlock is a direct result of Republicans and Democrats using their power as elected officials to play a political game in Washington. The goal of the game is to stay in office. I’d change that by introducing a new player. Everyone would have to actually articulate what they are FOR rather than just saying they are against the other side. Slone: What is the solution to congressional deadlock that has plagued Congress in recent years? Electing Congresspeople who truly want to work for the people they repre-

sent and not their party donors. Greed is killing our country. Are you willing to work with members of other political parties to pass legislation? Why or why not? Kalla: Of course I’m willing to work with members of other parties. I actually expect that a Libertarian in Washington will help break up the voting blocks of the other two parties. Republicans and Democrats would break ranks with more confidence knowing that there is an alternative to completely crossing over the aisle. Slone: Yes, this a must if we are to move forward. It is called compromising on the issues that are the best for all and not a select few. Jordan: Yes, I work with both Democrats and Republicans both in committee and on the floor. Both parties must work together for the good of the country. We should not compromise on principle, however, when it will result in bad policies for America. We cannot keep borrowing like there is no tomorrow, even if leaders of both parties want to. We cannot keep using tax dollars to bail out private-sector companies, even if there is bipartisan support to do so. We cannot keep taxing, spending, borrowing and regulating and expect our economy to grow. So, I am happy to work with the other side if it is good policy and makes sense for America. I will not, however, compromise for the sake of compromising. What are the major domestic issues facing the United States today and how would you address them? Slone: Jobs and education, both have to be discussed together, one goes with the other. We must make sure that we educate all of our students and people without jobs so they will be ready for new jobs that will be created in the near future and the ones that need to be filled now. We must keep the jobs we have now in this country and give companies incentives to stay here in the USA. Jordan: The out-ofcontrol spending and

debt is the biggest issue. We now have a debt larger than our GDP. Nearly every year I have served in Congress, I have introduced or co-authored a balanced budget. This past year, I laid out a plan to balance the budget and begin paying back some of our $16 trillion national debt in two pieces of legislation. The first was a balanced-budget proposal I developed with my fellow Republican Study Committee members, and the second was in a proposal that passed the House but was not brought up for consideration in the Senate, commonly referred to as “Cut, Cap and Balance.” This was one path to a fiscally responsible balanced budget, but there are other good ideas out there as well. The bottom line is that if Congress continues to kick the can down the road, we are going to get deeper and deeper into this financial mess, and the fix is going to be even more difficult. Kalla: The economy is the most important issues for Americans this election. I strongly support actions that will economic increase growth: Reduction of federal spending across the board by 43 percent, which is approximately 2003 levels of spending; adoption of the FairTax and elimination of the income tax and the IRS; and a return to sound money; starting with a full audit of the Federal Reserve. What are the major foreign policy issues facing the United States today and how would you address them? Jordan: Just turn on the news and you can see the foreign policy challenges facing this country. The terrorist threat remains real. But I would also add the national debt as a national security issue. If we fail to address the runaway spending by Congress, we hurt our ability to both protect our homeland and remain the world’s only military superpower. Finally, another foreign policy issue is our current energy situation. We need to enact a commonsense energy policy that allows us to get our own natural resources here in America. Kalla: The biggest

SHERIFF Board of Elections. Evans said he did not want to be involved in a conspiracy against Lenhart. “I don’t do that,” he stated. Evans denied having conversations with elections board member Jim Thompson. Thompson began raising questions about Lenhart’s candidacy at a recent elections board meeting. He told the Daily News there are “a lot of questions” and as a result he called a special meeting Oct. 22 to discuss the matter. However, only Thompson and board member Merrill Asher, both Democrats, along with Billing and Deputy Director Phil Warnecke were in attendance. Thus here was no quorum and a meeting was not held. Thompson said he discovered information online about Lenhart's association with LYCURGUS Group, LLC, a private security com-

foreign policy issue facing America is our interventionist policy that we have implemented around the world. While military action is the appropriate response to attacks like 9/11, we shouldn’t get involved “nation building” in countries that don’t want us there. Let’s bring our troops home, lets’s bring our dollars home, and let’s let them hate us from a distance. Let’s return the power to declare war to Congress as our Founding Fathers intended. Slone: There are many issues. Terrorists and the many wars we have fought, some of them based on lies (example: weapons of mass destruction). I would bring our troops home and use war as a last resort but also make sure that Iran never gets atomic weapons. I would make sure we help protect Israel, as they are friends. Trade polices are a problem; we need fair trade and not free trade. We must monitor trade policies to make sure we are being treated fairly when trading with other countries. What is your position on extending the Bush-era tax cuts? Kalla: Tax cuts that focus on specific income classes are used by Republicans and Democas political rats weapons, rather than being a part of proper governance. The Bushera tax cuts are a prime example of how a debate that should be about revenue to offset government expense is turned into a debate about who is wealthy enough or not to pay more tax than someone else. That’s why I strongly support the elimination of the income tax and the adoption of the FairTax.” Slone: Eliminate the Bush tax cuts for any couple making over $250,000, but keep them for any couple making under $250,000. Jordan: I believe the entire tax code needs to be reformed, making the system fairer and flatter with lower tax rates for families and businesses. That being said, I am for extending the tax cuts. Letting Americans keep more of their money is a good thing. Americans are overtaxed already and raising taxes is not going to get us out of this economic mess.

From Page 2 pany in Columbus, where Lenhart has served as a vice president. Thompson said it was his understanding that ORC Statute 311.01 requires sheriff candidates to file their place of residence and all employment over the past six years. Thompson stated that Lenhart’s work with LYCURGUS Group was not listed. “Was it an inadvertant mistake?” Thompson questioned. He said he “assumed there was a valid explanation,” but that it “needs to be addressed as quickly as possible.” He said the Board of Elections must act to qualify sheriff candidates, and that neither Lenhart nor Evans were qualified by the board in terms of the verification of their employment or their residence over the last six years. Thompson said he doesn’t know why neither elections board

Chairman Chris Gibbs or member Jon Baker, Republicans, were not at the special meeting. “The overarching question is whether the board is meeting their statutory responsibility,” he said. Thompson said that in October 2011, Shelby County Prosecutor Ralph Bauer certified Lenhart to serve as the appointed sheriff after Kimpel was suspended pending the outcome of charges he was facing in both Shelby and Auglaize counties. Thompson said Billing told him that certification such as the sheriff ’s has never gone to the prosecutor before and that such action is “out of the ordinary.” Thompson said he went to Bauer “to get guidance on the issue. He’s our legal counsel.” For his part, Bauer refused to say whether he met with Thompson. “Why am I not going to comment one way or an-

other? ’Cause I’m not. I have not had any official contact with the Board of Elections,” he said. When asked if he had an informal meeting with Thompson, Bauer responded, “I’m not going to answer that.” Thompson denied that he has taken the issue to the Ohio Secretary of State’s (SOS) office.However, SOS Public Records/Corporations Counsel Chris Shea provided the Daily News with copies of emails between Thompson and the SOS in which Thompson questions the board’s duties regarding what he believes are issues with Lenhart’s candidacy and asking which board members can call a special meeting of the board. Later, Thompson called a special meeting of the board. Gibbs alleged Thompson has political motivations and said he has no doubt Lenhart is qualified to run for sheriff.

“I have confidence in him and his deputies’ abilities to keep us all safe,” he said. Calling efforts to discredit Lenhart an “attack” on his “rock-solid credentials,” Gibbs said he has a message for the Democrats serving on the elections board: “Stop screwing around and get back to the people’s business of managing a smooth and reliable election.” In filing as a candidate, Lenhart did file documents that show he is the president of Lenhart Farms Inc. and is listed as a LYCURGUS Group, LLC, vice president. However, in an email, Josh Engel, part-owner and vice president of LYCURGUS Group, said, “John is not an employee of the LYCURGUS Group. The nature of the relationship between John and the LYCURGUS Group is as an independent contractor and nothing in his agreement with

the LYCURGUS group should be construed to create an employer-employee relationship ... this means that John does not receive any salary and is responsible for the payment of all of his own taxes. “John is only paid by the LYCURGUS Group when he actually does work for clients. John’s duties as sheriff have precluded him from taking an active role in providing any consulting services to clients. As a result, John has not received any payments from the LYCURGUS Group in connection with his role as a vice president.” Regarding the whole situation, Lenhart said he is “disappointed in Mr. Evans and his political friends attempted muckraking at the last minute to question my qualifications for sheriff. I am sure Shelby County voters will know who is qualified and who is not.”

REBECCA FITZGERALD discusses dental health with Jackson Center third-graders recently. Joey the Kangaroo assisted her and allowed the students to brush his teeth. Fitzgerald is a registered dental hygienist at Premier Dental in Lakeview and Bellefontaine.

Students learn how to care for teeth JACKSON CENTER — Rebecca Fitzgerald, a registered dental hygienist for Premier Dental, with offices in Lakeview and Bellefontaine, spoke to the third-grade classes at Jackson Center Schools recently. The children learned the importance of brushing at least two times a day, flossing one time a day, using a fluoridated toothpaste and rinsing with a fluoridated mouth rinse. Fitzgerald showed them the proper brushing and flossing techniques. They also learned that they need to use a soft-bristled brush, not to push hard on their gums when brushing and to tilt the brush at a 45-degree angle when brushing the outside, inside and biting surfaces of their teeth. Fitzgerald also told them to brush the tongue in an outward

stroke and to replace their brushes every three months or after they have been ill. The students had an opportunity to practice the proper brushing technique on Joey the Kangeroo. Besides proper brushing/flossing, eating a healthy diet and getting regular dental check ups will aid in good oral health, Fitzgerald said. The kids also got to see examples of dental radiographs, learned what to expect at their dental visits and discussed what causes cavities. Each student got a new toothbrush, toothpaste and dental floss. “Teaching children about proper oral hygiene, eating healthy and what to expect at their dental visit is very important to their oral health. Prevention is the key.” Fitzgerald said.

Seminar set for Nov. 10 JACKSON CENTER — Grace Lutheran Church in Jackson Center will host a Spiritual Awakening Seminar Nov. 10 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. There is no charge for the seminar.

Local WWII vet to be honored for lifetime of service BY FRED HERRON It’s been said that it’s hard to keep a good man down. That is certainly true of Don Harp, a World War II veteran who is still “up” at the ripe age of 90. Not only that, but Harp has been a part of major U.S. history, not once, but twice. In addition to being a World War II vet, Harp worked as a construction worker on Florida’s Disney World before it opened in 1971. A native of the Shelby County area, Harp is to be given a special recognition at the local Sidney VFW Post Sunday. Harp is the last surviving charter member. According to Harp’s friend, Roger Marrow, who is also the post’s quartermaster, the recognition is for his “longstanding service, and being a charter member” and will be done during the post’s annual Veterans Day Dinner, a free meal for all members. They want to honor Harp in front of everybody in attendance. The recognition and its timing are significant in another way as well. Harp turns 91 the day after, on Monday, so the event is also to commemorate his birthday. “It’s quite an honor,” Weldon Oakley, another of Harp’s friends, said. “He’s a charter member — one of the guys that got it started after World War II.” The VFW as an organization was started after World War II whereas the American Legion was begun after World War I. “I was in the military police to start with,” Harp said of his stint in the U.S. Army during those war years. He was first stationed in Oklahoma. “I worked as an instructor on motorcycles and cars, teaching guys to operate them,” he said. “Then, I transferred to North Carolina and helped start the 11th Airborne,” which was a paratrooper division. After Harp had helped get it started, the 11th Airborne was sent to the Pacific, but Harp said he was transferred out before they went. After that, he was first transferred into the Air Corps to possibly become a pilot. But before that could take place, Harp was transferred back into the ground forces, the 13th, which was another para-

trooper division. That’s when he was sent over to serve the war efforts in France. “While over in France,” Harp said. “I got hospitalized (for an illness) and ended up in a hospital in Paris. After that, I was flown to England where I then took a train to Scotland to get on the Queen Elizabeth to come home. I ended up back in the U.S. on April 14, 1945. I got out of the military in November of ’45.” Once he was back in the area, Harp was invited to be one of the Sidney VFW’s charter members. “I was one of the first,” Harp said. He’s been a member ever since, even though he lived in Florida for 25 years after his military service was up. Harp said he didn’t become a member of another VFW in Florida, but he visited one every so often. The reason Harp ended up in Florida was that he was a construction worker and a cabinetmaker

by trade. After the war, some friends Harp went to school with invited him down to the Sunshine State to work for them. “They started a corporation building houses,” he said. After the housing project was over, Harp said he got the opportunity to work on building Disney World, doing construction before it opened. He also said that he owned his own cabinet-making business there as well. After 25 years, in 1995, Harp moved back to the Shelby County area at the bidding of his children. “We were getting old,” he said of himself and his wife. “The kids wanted us to move back up here.” Now in 2012, at nearly 91 years of age, one could say that Harp has had a full life. He’s been married two times. His first wife, with whom he had three children, two girls and a boy, died at age 42. His second wife died in 2000. Harp has seven grandchildren. He noted with a laugh that he couldn’t remember how many great-grandchildren he had. Though he served as second vice commander at the Sidney VFW for two or three years, Harp’s main involvement has been social. Oakley explained that the VFW was started by “guys

who came back from World War II, to get something started for camaraderie, and have a couple of beers with one another.” Harp agreed that, as a member, he attends the VFW to spend time with others who have had the shared experience of a war veteran. These days the 90-yearold’s health isn’t what it was, and he isn’t able to do much more than sit and watch TV. He does, however, serve on the color guard of the American Legion. This is a group that attends funerals of vets, and folds and presents the flag to family, fires the 21-gun salute and plays the bugle. Harp at one time had fired the gun, but as his health declined and he couldn’t stand as well, he took on the role of the “Tapper.” The “Tapper” is the member of the Color Guard who plays taps on the bugle. In addition to the color guard and his involvement in the local VFW, Harp also has served on the Shelby County Veterans Commission. Oakley said that the two of them served on the commission at the same time, Oakley for 28 years and Harp for 10. When asked if he had any wisdom to share from his nearly 91 years of life, Harp advised people to “keep your mouth shut and listen. I learn more that way.”

Students raise funds for Stace family PIQUA — Four seniors in the Upper Valley Career Center Design and Digital Print Technologies (DDPT) program put their design and production skills to use to honor the memory of David Stace, the Upper Valley Career Center math instructor who died in July after a fall while hiking in Virginia. Haley Smith, Covington, said as soon as she heard the sad news she wanted to help the Stace family. “I thought about it the rest of the summer, and I just knew we could do a fundraiser,” Smith said. Smith followed through and got the support of DDPT instructors Ralph Ash, Wapakoneta, and Randy Weaver, Piqua. Shelby Ross, Covington; Emily Snyder, Troy; and Amanda Cruse, Piqua were immediately ready to help. The four got busy designing a silk screened T-shirt featuring a computergenerated drawing Smith made of Stace. Working from a paper printout of the double-imprint T, the four moved into the sales phase of the project reaching out to students, staff and friends of the Stace family. Smith is as surprised as she is delighted by the response. “The whole project went bigger than I ever expected,” she said. The four seniors have nearly completed production which includes silk screening both sides of the shirt, drying, folding and packaging the individual orders. Ash and Weaver are pleased that the

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Saturday, Nov. 3, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A casual relationship could heat up into something committed. (Yeah, we’re talking the “M” word.) All relationships will be passionate today! TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You’re determined to introduce reforms or improvements where you work today. Actually, you’re just as determined to improve your health. Bravo! GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a sexy, romantic day. However, you are so obsessed about somebody else or about having fun or getting your own way that you might lose sight of what is really best for you. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Try not to be too pushy in family discussions today. Everyone thinks he or she knows best! What you can do is make marvelous improvements to bathrooms, plumbing areas or something to do with recycling and garbage. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You’re extremely persuasive today. In fact, you might be so obsessed with an idea that you just won’t lighten up. Remember: The best way to get others to listen is to whisper. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might be obsessed about buying something today. “I have to have it!” Don’t be too pushy at work. If you do shop, keep your receipts. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You’re filled with desire regarding personal and intimate relationships, but it also might apply to anything you want to do today. Be careful you don’t lose your perspective. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Secret love affairs will take place today for many. Don’t lose sight of who you are. Be careful about being attracted to something that is not good for you. (Why do this? Instead, want the best for yourself!) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Relations with others, especially in group situations, will be intense today. No doubt you will attract powerful people to you. (“Hi, Darth.”) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Romance with someone older, richer or in a position of authority might suddenly enslave you today. This is all you can think about! Well, this too, shall pass. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A new relationship with someone from a different background could begin for you today. However, because your appreciation of beauty is heightened, you’ll be delighted to see art galleries, museums and pristine parks. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Disputes about shared property might arise today. People will not back down. (Privately, your sexual passion is intense.) Woo, woo! YOU BORN TODAY You are intensely focused on whatever is important to you. You never waffle or waver. You are gutsy and competitive, but you always act cool. You understand that victory is all about timing. (Because, you do intend to win.) You have excellent powers of concentration. In the year ahead, a fresh nine-year cycle begins for you. Open any door!

Nov. 2, 1912 Tonight the curtain will be rung down on the campaign efforts of the various political parties in the history making struggle of 1912 and it now remains for the voters to say who will fill the offices in the nation, state and county. On the eve of a triangular presidential campaign, a political condition that has not prevailed since wartimes, the predictions are still asserted with confidence that Governor Wilson, together with the entire Democratic national ticket, will win tomorrow. ––––– Workmen were busy today at Thedieck’s Department store putting in the windows that were burned out in the fire Friday night, to keep rain from damaging the goods and to keep the store heated.

cause of anemia. I think you get the message. The many causes of anemia have different treatments. With the modern techniques available in medical laboratories, with the modern ways of viewing the digestive tract for bleeding sites, and with the medicines on hand for treating most kinds of anemia, you have no worry about being “put down.” Do you know what kind of anemia the pit bull had?

I expect my primary care doctor to check the following: carotid arteries, peripheral artery disease, blood analysis, urine analysis and the possibility of Parkinson’s. Is this asking too much? — R.

ANSWER: It’s not asking too much. Your requests are modest and are relatively inexpensive. The doctor can listen to your carotid arteries with a stethoscope for a rough estimation of their health. More-expensive tests would be done if you had any symptoms that aroused suspicion that those arteries might be obstructed. Drs. Donohue and Roach regret that they are unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western branches are Union trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks.

Ex-Penn State president charged HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — The “conspiracy of silence” that protected Jerry Sandusky extended all the way to the top at Penn State, prosecutors said Thursday as they charged former university President Graham Spanier with hushing up child sexual abuse allegations against the former assistant football coach. Prosecutors also added counts against two of Spanier’s former underlings, Tim Curley and Gary Schultz, who were already charged with lying to a grand jury. “This was not a mistake by these men. This was not an oversight. It was not misjudgment on their part,” said state Attorney General Linda Kelly. “This was a conspiracy of silence by top officials to actively conceal the truth.” Spanier’s lawyers issued a statement that asserted his innocence and described the new charges as an attempt by Gov. Tom Corbett to divert attention from the three-year investigation that began under his watch as attorney general. “These charges are the work of a vindictive and politically motivated governor working through an unelected attorney general … whom he appointed to do his bidding,” the four defense lawyers wrote. Corbett spokesman Kevin Harley said the defense statement “sounds like the ranting of a desperate man who just got indicted.” Curley and Schultz have repeatedly asserted they are innocent. A spokeswoman for their lawyers said they planned to respond later to the new charges.

Emily Borchers, Lauren Francis, Lauren Heaton, Molly Kearns, Kirstin Voisard, Claudia Monnin and Becca Meyer. Members of the Fort Loramie team are Meg Westerheide, Rachel Schmitmeyer, Selene Waters, Samantha Bensman, Taylor Gasson, Tara Luebke and Emily Holdheide. Madison Grilliot, of Versailles, also qualified for the state meet.

Anna advances to regional finals FAIRMONT — It took four games, but Anna got the chance for a rematch of a game they lost last year.

Anna lost to Miami East last year in the regional semifinals. “Megan Fogt was our diamond in the rough tonight,” said Anna coach Kelli Barhorst. “She lit it up in games three and four. Bishop Fenwick wasn’t prepared for her. “We were down 21-16 in the third set and came back and won,” said Barhorst. “That gave us momentum for the fourth game.” Barhorst credits the entire team with the win. “Everyone was involved in the game,” said Barhorst. “You can look at the stats and see that everyone helped. “I think that will really help

us against Miami East Saturday.” Summer McCracken led the team with 20 digs. She added one ace. Courtney Landis had 11 digs and five kills. Haley Steinbrunner had 10 digs, 40 assists and one ace.

Chloe Egbert had 11 kills, one solo block and one block assist. Rachel Noffsinger had six kills, two block assists, two solo blocks and one ace. “We’ve got a lot to take in,” said Barhorst of the quick turn around to Saturday’s game. It’ll be nice to get them back on the court and playing.” Tickets for Saturday’s game will be sold today from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 10 to 11 a.m. at the Anna High School office.

Manning tries to stay perfect vs. Cincinnati

Denver Broncos (4-3) to the top of the AFC West. Manning has passed for at least 300 yards and three touchdowns in each of his last four games, the first to do so since Steve Young in 1998. He’s thrown for at least 300 yards in his last five games, matching his personal best from 2009 with Indianapolis. The Colts cut their ties with Manning after a neck injury raised doubts about whether he could ever play at the same level again. No questioning that now. “It’s hard to say that he’s not,” said Bengals cornerback Leon Hall, who watched the Broncos beat the Saints 34-14 on Sunday night. “He’s been doing well, putting up a lot of good numbers, spreading the ball around to receivers and tight ends, I don’t know how the numbers compare, but as far as how he looks on film, I think

he’s pretty damn close.” The Broncos have scored 37, 21, 35 and 34 points in their last four games, getting a little more comfortable with Manning’s way of directing things at the line of scrimmage. And Manning has been rounding into form, too, after recovering from his neck problems. “Well, certainly, it was a lot of unknown before this season,” Manning said. “I think there still is. This is a new team and nobody knew how this team would form chemistry-wise. I didn’t know what my situation would be. I mentioned early on that I’m feeling my way out. We’re finding out our identity. I think we are still doing that.” Everyone in Cincinnati knows his identity against the Bengals: Perfect. Manning is 7-0 career against the Bengals with 17 touchdowns, only

three interceptions and a 107 passer rating. He’s thrown for at least three touchdowns in four of the seven games, including a four-TD game in 2006. Cincinnati is one of seven teams that have never beaten him. The Bengals are getting him at close to his best again. “I think what he’s done has been remarkable,” coach John Fox said. “He’s continuing to rehab every day. I don’t know that he’s all the way back, but he’s well on his way for sure.” The Bengals have concerns about their own quarterback. Dalton has thrown an interception in every game this season and in eight straight overall, including a playoff loss to the Texans last season. He’s avoided sacks by getting rid of the ball quickly, but the coaches have stresses holding onto it a bit longer to extend plays.

Browns hoping to climb from bottom of AFC North just feel our team is starting to become one of the good teams. We’re on the verge of being at the top.” It’s going to be a long, slow climb, but the Browns (2-6) are showing signs that they’re finally headed in the right direction. They’ve won two straight home games, and following a victory over San Diego, the Browns are feeling pretty good about themselves heading into Sunday’s rematch with Baltimore. The Ravens (5-2) have beaten the Browns nine straight times. Baltimore defeated Cleveland 23-16 on Sept. 27, but the Browns were in the game until the final seconds despite a costly interception, several dropped

passes and losing kick return specialist/wide receiver Josh Cribbs, who was heavily involved in the game plan, to a concussion in the first quarter. Like Haden, Cribbs sees the Browns, who are just 4-23 in the division since 2008 and have never been better than 33, catching up to the Ravens, Bengals and Steelers. However, Cribbs said the only way for Cleveland to accelerate the process and truly show its improved is to start beating up the bullies on a regular basis. “I feel like you have to,” Cribbs said. “What other way can you? You can say we always play them well and fought

hard, but the real test is taking advantage of our opportunities by winning, not by coming close. “A win is a win.” For several years, there was a huge disparity in talent between Cleveland and the rest of the division. That’s no longer the case as Browns general manager Tom Heckert has drafted well, infusing the roster the past three years with up-and-coming players like Haden, defensive tackle Phil Taylor and a trio of rising rookies: running back Trent Richardson, quarterback Brandon Weeden and wide receiver Josh Gordon, who was plucked in the second round of the supplemental draft.

Danica’s 1 regret: execution of bump BY STEPHEN HAWKINS AP Sports Writer

AP Photo/Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Rodger Mallison

CHLOE BROWN, a kindergarten student at Hatfield Elementary School, poses with Danica Patrick at Texas Motor Speedway, Thursday, Nov. 1, 2012. Chloe read 539 books and won in her age group for participating in a program called “Speeding to Read.” The total number of books read by about 1,500 students at Clara Love, Hatfield and Justin Elementary was 92,908.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Danica Patrick has only one regret about purposely bumping Landon Cassill in her last race. “I still think it was important for me to stand up for myself, and I wouldn’t change it,” Patrick said Thursday. “I would change my execution of the actual incident. I didn’t do a very good job with that, but I guess there’s only one way to learn, is to try. It’s just not that easy to take someone out.” When Patrick spun Cassill in the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Kansas two weeks ago, she wrecked her own ride. While Cassil saved his No. 83 car, Patrick slammed hard into the wall and ended her race. Patrick was on the lead lap early at Kansas when she said Cassill slammed into her on the front straight, and on his radio

said, “She was in the way.” So when Cassill’s car slid in front of her, she decided to nudge him. Both of the cars spun out. Later on his radio, Cassill said, “Rule No. 1 in stock car racing is learn how to wreck someone without wrecking yourself.” Patrick offered no apology and said there have been no conversations with Cassill since Kansas. “I left it,” she said. “If he wants to talk to me, fine. I don’t really have much to say. I think the actions speak louder than the words, to be honest.” While she hopes she “won’t have to do much of that anymore,” Patrick believes it was an important step in earning respect and moving forward. After a weekend off, with no Nationwide race and not running the Cup race at Martinsville, Patrick is scheduled to run in both series this week at Texas Motor Speedway. “I welcome weekends off, they’re

always nice,” she said. “The best thing to move on with news is to start racing again. … The best thing I can do is just get on the track and get going and make another storyline.” Patrick was in Texas early for several appearances, including talking to about 1,500 elementary school children during an assembly at the track Thursday to recognize those who participated in a “Speeding to Read” educational program. It was at the fall race in Texas last year when Stewart-Haas Racing unveiled Patrick’s limited firstyear Sprint Cup schedule. Sunday’s race at Texas will be the ninth of her 10 races co-owner Tony Stewart picked for this season in preparation for Patrick going full-time in the Cup next year. Her best finish in the No. 10 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet was 25th at Chicago.

In his career, the senior QB has 34 TDs and 21 interceptions. Advantage: Ohio State OFFENSIVE LINE OSU (9-0, 5-0 Big Ten) has started the same five offensive linemen all season and those five have avoided injury. The Buckeyes rank second in the Big Ten in scoring, second in rushing yardage and third in third down conversions. Illinois has allowed 30 quarterback sacks, 12 more than anyone else in the Big Ten, ranks 11th in the Big Ten in rushing and is last in scoring. Scheelhaase was sacked seven times in the Indiana game. Advantage: Ohio State

DEFENSIVE LINE Ohio State turned up the pressure against Penn State with four sacks and plans to continue that the rest of the season. Michael Bennett might have had his best game of the season last week. He also might have been the healthiest he has been all season.

He has had 8, 5 and 7 tackles in his three games as a starter on defense. Etienne Sabino is expected to be out again this week, but could return Nov. 17 at Wisconsin after a bye week. For Illinois, Jonathan Brown has a team-high 8.5 tackles for losses and 2.5 quarterback sacks. Advantage: Ohio State

RUNNING BACKS Carlos Hyde (600 yards, 10 touchdowns) was held to 45 yards on 22 carries by Penn State, but ran hard and gained 91 percent of his yards after contact.

Ohio State remains vulnerable to the pass. It ranks last in the Big Ten in passing yards per game (279.2). Penn State quarterback Matt McGloin had a career-best 327 yards against them and they gave up two fourth-quarter scores in the air. But the Buckeyes have twice as many interceptions as Illinois, 12 to 6. Illinois cornerback Terry Hawthorne has six pass breakups. Safety Steve Hull, a converted running back, has started 25 games at that position. Illinois has given up at least 31 points in its six losses. Advantage: Ohio State

SPECIAL TEAMS One of the most glaring weaknesses for Ohio State is having three punts blocked and seeing two of those result in touchdowns. Meyer said earlier this week all three of those blocks were because of missed assignments. Ohio State kicker Drew Basil is 3 of 5 with a long kick of 35 yards. Punter Ben Buchanan averages 42.1 yards per kick. Illinois kicker Taylor Zalewski is 3 of 6 on field goals, but has hit a 47-yarder this season. Punter Justin DuVernois averages 42.4 yards per kick. Advantage: Ohio State

OSU gets early start on the future COLUMBUS – Five times. That’s how many times Ohio State has had a perfect football season. So, to see Ohio State three wins away from its sixth unbeaten season after all that has happened in the last two years is borderline amazing. OSU is banned from a bowl trip and the BCS rankings. The roster is filled with guys who were part of a 6-7 team a year ago. But so far Urban Meyer’s first season as Ohio State’s coach has been everything anyone could have expected and more. The Buckeyes have done more than surprise a few people, though. What they are doing is building the foundation for even greater success in the future. Winning doesn’t erase the past. But it builds enthusiasm. Negative momentum has become extremely positive momentum at Ohio State. Just being Urban Meyer gets recruits to take your phone call. Being Urban Meyer with an unbeaten team to talk about ramps up the enthusiasm level in the 17-year-old on the other end of the call. “I’m really anxious to make those (recruiting) calls tonight and say, ‘Hey, this is Urban Meyer from Ohio State and we’re 9-0,’” Meyer said earlier this week. But it’s not just recruits who are energized by winning. It affects the returning underclassmen. “It’s much easier for players and staff and coaches to believe something when they can actually see those results,” defensive line coach Mike Vrabel says. Sophomore receiver Evan Spencer sees that belief. “Now we’re 9-0, so next year going into the season we’ll be like, ‘All right, last year we knew what we had to do to get to this point, so let’s do it again or do it better this time,’ ” he said. No. 6 Ohio State (9-0, 5-0 Big Ten) should go to 10-0 on Saturday against Illinois. After that, it gets a little more difficult with a trip to Wisconsin and a home game against Michigan to end the season. But if this is the foundation, Ohio State fans have to be really excited about what the building will look like when it’s finished.
