SUGARCREEK TOWNSHIP — Area Kroger stores are now supporting local school classrooms with the 5th annual Crayons to Classrooms (DC2C) school supply drive. Customers will find donation barrels in 14 local stores, and with their generosity, will help provide crayons, pencils, notebooks, and hundreds of other classroom items to children in our community’s neediest schools. These stores will also have pre-made school supply kits available for $5 as a monetary donation, and customers are encouraged to donate the supply kit as well. In the past Kroger has given DC2C more than $30,000 in monetary donations and more than $81,000 in product donations. Kroger has also recently donated a storage trailer, worth close to $1,000, for DC2C to store supplies throughout the year - allowing them to have a more spacious and organized warehouse. “Many students in our community go to school every day without the necessary supplies needed to learn. Thanks to the generous support of The Kroger Company, Crayons to Classrooms will be in a much better position to fill this need and to help teachers create a more productive learning environment,” said Steve

Bridge players to deal up play at Hope Hotel COMMENTARY S

tarting next Tuesday and for six days the Hope Hotel Conference Center outside of Wright-Patterson By William H. Wild AFB will be bustling with activity as Dayton and Guest Columbus join forces for Columnist the Flying Buckeye Regional Bridge Tournament. In addition to fun, the game will add a little nongovernmental stimulus to the regional economy in the classic supply-side manner. The majority of players are regulars with the Miami Valley Bridge Association (MVBA, about 500 members) and the Columbus Ohio Bridge Association (COBA, about 750 members), plus heaven knows how many other game fanatics from Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky and West Virginia, among others, plus Canada. But don’t assume that it’s just for “regulars.” Anyone with at least a passing acquaintance with bridge can come in and play, very possibly for free if they have 0 or fewer than 5 American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) master points. And the tournament will even find partners for anyone who calls. The callers might just like a challenge, are bored with television or would like to learn more about the world’s great-

est card game. Partnership contacts: Marilyn O’Connor, 937885-4395 or wandmoconnorpb@yahoo.com; or Mary Lynn Zwald, 614-595-9445 or bridgepairs@gmail.com. Georgia Banziger from Dayton and Cheryl Schneider from Columbus are tournament co-chairs. For other beginners and intermediate players the tournament this year offers more “Gold Rush Pairs and Teams” events. Gold master points are hard to get for beginning players and highly prized. Competition is fierce, but it is considered bad form to kill for them. Imagine what it looks (and sounds) like when several hundred people, four to a table, gather for three sessions a day (10 a.m., 2:30 and 7:30 p.m.) in a variety of types of team games. But it is still the same game. And the room gets quiet when play starts. You usually don’t hear much except maybe some gnashing of teeth when a finesse fails or a partner blunders. Last year’s six-day tourney had 1,084 tables. The two non-profits (MVBA and COBA) expect to raise about $7,000 each. The Hope and neighboring hotels will rent 80 to 90 rooms for four or five days at an average or $80 a night. Then there are 600 meals at local restaurants per day as well as the Hope’s food and hospitality services. Tournaments like this are good introductions to bridge. Players pay $11 a session, but the intellectually curious can usually get an OK just to watch some of the play. Or you can go just to look around (parking is free) and mingle with

Small changes help local government reap big savings COMMENTARY A

little more than a year ago, my colleagues and I in the Legislature wrapped By Chris Widener up our work on the state’s two-year budget. Despite being faced with a multiState billion shortfall, we manSenator aged to craft a balanced budget that preserved essential programs and services for Ohioans without raising taxes. We were able to succeed in this effort by implementing measures that reformed and streamlined government – allowing us to focus our limited resources on areas of greatest need. While many of our reforms have been focused on state government, we have also worked to give local governments the tools they need to reduce costs and become more efficient, thereby better protecting limited taxpayer dollars. One example of these changes is the Local Government Innovation Fund (LGIF), which was created as part of the state budget. This fund provides grants and loans to local government projects throughout the state, with an emphasis on those that promote efficiency, shared services and mergers. The first round of LGIF funding – which awarded more than $6 million to 51 projects across Ohio – included several projects in the Dayton region. Another way we are helping our local governments is by eliminating mandates that previously hindered their ability to modernize and streamline operations. For example, the recently-passed state capital budget included a provision that allows for local public safety agencies to use competitive bidding when purchasing radio equipment. Prior language and practice would have encouraged sole source selection from only one

manufacturer. In my district, the cost of one radio has been cut by 50 percent due to this budget effort. This change could save local governments upwards of $1 billion while enabling our first responders to have updated equipment that meets federal, state and local standards at the lowest cost to taxpayers. In addition, as part of the Governor’s Mid-Biennium Review, the General Assembly approved a package of reforms designed to further help transform the way state and local government does business. These changes – many of which were suggested by local officials – provide more flexibility to local governments seeking to collaborate and save taxpayer dollars, such as sharing employees and allowing counties to sell excess equipment and supplies via an internet auction. By continuing to transform and improve the way state and local government delivers services, we can not only reduce unnecessary red tape, we can achieve greater cost savings for taxpayers. These efforts also help in attracting and retaining jobs in our state, as employers are looking for a competitive environment in which to locate. Moving forward, my colleagues and I in the Ohio Senate will look to provide further opportunities for our local governments to increase efficiency and maximize the value of tax dollars. As always, I welcome your thoughts and opinions on any of the matters we are discussing at the Statehouse. I can be reached by phone at (614) 466-3780, by e-mail at Widener@OhioSenate.gov or by writing State Senator Chris Widener, Ohio Statehouse, 1 Capitol Square, Columbus, OH 43215. I look forward to hearing from you.

Senator Chris Widener serves the people of the 10th Senate District, which consists of Clark, Greene and Madison counties. He is chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and serves on the state’s Controlling Board.

Yet another inexplicable tragedy s the tragic, horrifying, evil events in Aurora, Colorado unfolded, there was one thing lacking in By Mike Scinto my reaction to the mass murder; shock. Guest That bothers me a great deal. Columnist I believe for our generations a similar incident that took place just 13 miles away, and 13 years earlier in Jefferson County, Colorado, at the high school in the unincorporated community of Columbine ushered in a new, and disgusting era of societal outcasts trying to go out of this life causing as much mayhem and bloodshed as possible. Of course I’m talking about the, as of this writing, 59 wounded and 12 slaughtered as they attended the midnight premier of the latest in the Batman series of films in a movie complex Aurora, Colorado. At least in my mind it’s one thing when an organized terror operation pulls off a 9/11 massacre. It’s something else when one of “your own” can muster up this much hate and do this much harm. I’m not ashamed to share that I wept as I listened to the accounts pouring out of Aurora. I had no problem putting myself in the place of parents, family and friends and understanding, as best I could, the gut-wrenching stages of emotions being experienced. But I felt no shock.

COMMENTARY

To say it’s sad that I wasn’t surprised that it could happen either addresses the numbness from my years of covering this kind of terror for days on the air, or the fact that this kind of thing has become all-too-common in America today. I’ll let the wounds heal some for now. But in coming columns expect my reaction to the many liberals using this tragedy, as they have done so often before, to attempt to advance their agenda of robbing Americans of their freedom to keep and bear arms, as they prefer government control more and more of our daily lives. The other factor that needs to be addressed is how and why someone like the alleged killer (I won’t give him the pleasure of keeping his name alive) could harbor this bizarre hate and go completely undetected. That starts with the nuclear family and, yes I do believe we are our brother’s keeper. May God help the families and friends in Aurora accept and grow from this tragedy and may He give the rest of us the wisdom to try to figure out how to turn our nation back into a place where, when this kind of thing inevitably happens, it is a shock!

the crowd looking at the instruction books and pamphlets or sampling the free candy and gum. You probably won’t be able to tell the “pros” from the rookies. The former might look just like ordinary folks, no auras or halos, because they’ve long since been humbled by the game. Bridge in Dayton is available throughout the year most days and nights at the MVBA Bridge Center on Presidential Way in Kettering. Information is available at www.MVBA.com. Some people find a friend or family member to play with and just show up. Others take advantage of inexpensive lessons such as this summer’s “Bridge in the 21st Century” which started June 9 on Saturdays at 10:30 a.m. for 9 weeks. The cost of $40 included lunch and practice games. Most organized bridge these days is duplicate. This means every partnership plays the same hands which levels the playing field against the pure chance of lucky deals. Duplicate contract bridge has been compared to chess as a “mind game.” You don’t have to be Sherlock Holmes to understand the elementary aspects, but the detective work is fun in every hand that emerges from that 52-card deck. You might wonder about this bridge name. A bridge to what or where? Official histories say the name is how Russian whist, played for centuries in the Middle East, came to Britain as “biritch.” Hence “bridge,” certainly a more polite choice than dropping the R.

Take advantage of your Farmers Markets ot sure if you know or not, but I am the editor of the SugarcreekBellbrook Times and the By Jodi Milburn Centerville-Washington Township Times. I have S-B Times some help through freeEditor lancers but it’s usually me hauling the Nikon, a pen, a notebook, and myself to cover events throughout the week in these communities. Last Friday afternoon, I had the opportunity to attend the Market Bag giveaway at Sugarcreek Township’s Farmers Market located next to Petsmart and Target on Feedwire Road. The market bag is an excellent reminder to stop using plastic bags, and the Township along with the sponsors who likely helped to pay for the canvas bags should be thanked for their efforts in helping the environment. But I will say, if you have not been to Sugarcreek Township’s Farmers Market, you are really missing out! What’s holding you back? Do you need a coupon or something? It does get a little congested in the parking lot Friday afternoons, so please be careful. But you will not be disappointed. Plus, you’ll more than likely find a friend, even a neighbor to chat about your purchases. There is truly something for everyone to enjoy. That Friday was the day before my husband’s birthday and farmers from New Paris were selling beautiful flowers, including the sunflowers my husband loves to grow... there’s a story there. When we first moved into our home in Xenia, my husband decided to plant sunflowers along the front of our home, right by the door, in front of two bedroom windows. It was okay with me. I had just given birth to our first child and was in no state to argue. The front of our house no doubt gets full sun, and when those sunflowers grew, they were huge! We enjoyed them for a while until they started their droop. My husband tried to collect as many seeds as he could. For a while they were stored on top of our dryer. I believe my husband decided to wrap them up and store them outside in the shed. Ah, that would be a not-so-good decision. He reported months later that something (an animal) had eaten most of the seeds. The remaining seeds he planted this year along the outside of the garage, still getting full sun, but it’s been a while, some leaves have sprouted, but definitely not a sunflower in sight. Granted this year has been a rough, dry, hot summer. Look around your neighborhood and count how many “green” lawns do you have? Most of them are brown even, including ours... there’s a story there too but for another day. Who knows if we’ll ever see a sunflower along our house. My husband and I are not master gardeners by any means he probably knows more about it than I do. But I do know he loves sunflowers. They are a bit dramatic don’t you think? When the “lights” go down, they bow their heads, but when the “lights” come up, they throw back their shoulders and stand tall and proud. So when I saw those sunflowers for sale at the Farmers Market in Sugarcreek Township, I ran to get some funds and purchase a bouquet of four. As soon as I got back in the car, I took a picture of them and sent the photo to my husband. Sunflowers for my sweetie. I put them in a gallon milk jug. They are still there, but I can see the droop beginning. I just hope any seeds we collect now can be saved for another Sunflower story next year. Thanks Sugarcreek Township for putting me together with those sunflowers.

Zipping across the countryside By ASIA AIKINS Ohio Community Media aaikins@xeniagazette.com BEAVERCREEK — Members of the Beavercreek Senior Center recently took a plunge, stepping off a 200 foot ledge at the Camp Kern zip lining course in Oregonia earlier this month. Land-lovers and high-flying adventure enthusiasts of all ages crossed the zip lining experience off of their bucket lists with the center’s first trip to the course. “One of our members did it two years ago on vacation and has been asking me to take the center on a trip ever since,” said Krissi Fedkow, the center’s activities coordinator. After a little research and help from a new activities grant from the Greene County Council on Aging, Fedko organized the trip at Ozone Zipline Adventures.

Staff Reports Ohio Community Media ENGLEWOOD — Clayton resident Tony Nunnari, 84, has followed a simple rule for staying young – by staying active physically and mentally. He plays 18 holes of golf twice a week. The first round of the week is at Jamaica Run Golf Club with longtime golf buddies Kendall Clay, Frank Ireland and Greg Klosterman. The second round he walks 18 holes at Hara Greens with his oldest son, Ron. In addition Nunnari goes to the Kleptz YMCA in

“Exercise is important. My mother taught me that,” he said. Nunnari jogged for 29 years running three to four miles every other day, sometimes farther if he felt good. In the late 1970s he ran in the 8.6 mile River Corridor Run in Dayton finishing in the top third of the pack. A few years later he competed in a 10 mile run at Wright State University and placed third in his age group. He also competed in the Senior Olympics in 1983 running the 100-yard dash, 200-yard dash as well the one-mile

She was excited for me.” Before the trip, Giehl said she had heard of zip lining through commercials. After a brief tutorial from the trip’s guides, she said she was comfortable taking the plunge. “I had no problem,” she said. “But I had to push the guy off in front of me because he was scared.” That guy was Lee Duteil, the center’s supervisor. “I’m afraid of heights,” Duteil said. “I had a little trouble taking that step off of the platforms.” A total of 29 seniors and family members went on the trip, including one of the member’s sons and his bachelor party. The oldest member partaking in the experience was 88, Fedko said. “We had a good response,” she said. “It was a lot of fun.” For more information on Ozone Zipline Adventures, visit www.campkern.org/ozone.

Englewood three times a week where he walks three miles and works out on six different weight lifting stations. In addition to physical activity, he keeps his mind sharp by visiting the Earl Heck Community Center in Englewood three times a week to play cards – Euchre on Monday and Thursday and Pinochle on Friday. Each Sunday afternoon he fixes Sunday dinner for his wife, kids, their spouses, two grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. It’s an Italian tradition that a family gathers for dinner at least once a week, even after the kids have grown and left home. Since retiring Nunnari has stuck to pretty much the same routine by rising at 6 a.m. on weekdays while sleeping in until 7 a.m. on weekends. He eats yogurt every night before bed and enjoys snacking on dark chocolate every day. “I eat what I want to eat, when I want to eat it, but only in moderation,” Nunnari said. He stressed that exercise is the key to staying healthy. Although 84, most people usually think he is in his late 60s.

He worked for Goldman’s Discount Department Stores beginning in the early 1960s as a store manager but was soon promoted to supervisor of personnel for the 12 stores in the Dayton area. Nunnari also served on the YMCA of Greater Dayton’s Board of Management for seven years and served on the Humane Society of Greater Dayton Board of Directors for nine years. He also served as a “Loaned Executive” for five years for the United Way raising funds. In addition, he served six years as an advisor for the marketing program at Sinclair Community College in the mid 1970s. “Staying busy and exercising is the key to staying young,” Nunnari commented. “Exercising at the end of the day by jogging was a great stress reliever. After I ran I would feel like a newborn baby.” Nunnari enjoys playing golf twice a week as well as other physical and social activities that keeps him young and fit.

Largerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first job off the farm was at the General Motors Frigidaire plant in Moraine. He worked there four years as an inspector, but his decision to leave the job showed his independent streak that would lead to building his own barber shop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had to work in a small room by myself, and one day I went to my boss and told him I was too young for solitary confinement, so I had to leave,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went off and went to barber school.â&#x20AC;? After graduating from barber school, Larger worked at a couple of local shops, including Brownieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Dayton, but after working for others for a few years, decided he wanted to build his own shop.

This involves knowing what disasters could occur in your region and then making two sets of plans: one in case an evacuation is required and the other if residents are instructed to remain in place. In addition to the basic safety items listed above, your elder should have: A three-day supply of food and water - The American Red Cross recommends nonperishable food items that are ready to eat and one gallon of water per person per day. Store the water in small containers that an elder can handle. Can opener - Choose a manual can opener that the elder can handle. Nonperishable food for pets in the household. Make sure to stay in touch with your elders during the summer months. There are too many heat related deaths in summer that could be prevented by a simple phone call or a quick visit. It is our obligation to watch and protect our loved ones.

Kay’s School of Dance celebrating 60 years By JENNIFER OSTERDAY Times special writer KETTERING — As Cheryl Jacobus looks over the photos hanging on the walls of her dance studio, Kay’s School of Dance located at Town and Country Shopping Center, a beaming pride takes over as she presents the achievements of her past and present students. She points to one photo of a student that went on to Broadway. Another photo is of a student who went on to become a Bengals cheerleader. Another went onto to perform in Disneyland. Several currently perform in La Comedia Dinner Theater in Springboro. “And this family right up here is a third generation,” she says pointing to a family of a mother, daughter and grandchild who have all taken lessons from Cheryl. This is one of several third generation students from her school. “It’s a neat legacy.” “They love it,” she adds. “It’s in their blood.” Cheryl explained that taking ballet lessons gives you the foundation for every dance form. “It gives your body strength. It gives you elegance, it gives you grace that’s going to stay with you all the rest of your lives.” The generations that have continued to learn at Kay’s School of Dance wouldn’t be possible without Kay Jacobus, Cheryl’s mother, who started the school in Town and Country Shopping Center in 1952. This year, the school is celebrating its 60th anniversary. Cheryl first began teaching at 15-years-old as a jazz

Cheryl Jacobus instructor. She said she had asked the parents of several of her mother’s students if she could teach their children jazz. Four of the students agreed. Cheryl believes at the time, she was one of the first and only jazz teachers in Dayton. In 1971, Cheryl’s mother became ill and she took on the studio herself to teach all the lessons. Although she had dreams of being in the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York or performing at the Goodman Theater in Chicago, those didn’t fall into place. Despite her plans not being fulfilled how she wished, Cheryl said she’s still gotten to enjoy her life as a dance teacher in Dayton just as much. “I love it. I wouldn’t give it up for the world,” she said. Cheryl has still been able to pursue her passion for dance and choreography across the country. For more than 40 years she has been a member of the Chicago National Association of Dance Masters, of which

she has been an officer for 15 years. She has been a faculty teacher of ballet, tap and jazz for the Dance Masters of Wisconsin and in 1976 choreographed and staged her own nightclub act, “The Follies ‘76 Dancers”. Cheryl spent 10 years choreographing the University of Dayton’s Show Choir which performed nationally and in Canada. She’s also choreographed numerous high school and college musicals. Kay’s School of dance teaches ballet, tap, baton, jazz, gymnastics, pre-school ballet and adult classes. She takes in students as young as 3-years-old and currently has a student as old as 74. She still believes in teaching all of her own classes, teaching many private lessons. “There’s a huge feeling of fulfillment to see what you’ve created be performed by the students and have them enjoy it,” she said. “I expect my students to do the best they can. But at the end of the day, if they enjoy it, that’s what counts.”

Donnelly impacted by the Big Red Machine By MIKE WOODY Ohio Community Media HUBER HEIGHTS — The Big Red Machine was a dominant force in baseball through the 1970s and though players such as Pete Rose, Johnny Bench and Tony Perez got all the accolades much of their success was triggered by the widely unknown Jimmy Donnelly. Donnelly, of Huber Heights, prepared them to hit by pitching batting practice to the team. Like every boy that grows up loving baseball, Donnelly had aspirations of one day being in the major leagues. His hopes came true in 1971 by becoming an official part of the Cincinnati Reds as number 63. After teaching at Meadowdale and his second day job of loading beer trucks, Donnelly drove to Cincinnati to throw for the 40 minutes of batting practice. “Sparky would ask, ‘Don’t you ever get tired?’ and I’d say, ‘Nope, I’m living my dream,” said Donnelly. Sparky Anderson was the Reds manager. The dream for Donnelly to reach the majors really blossomed at 13 years old, when his mother, who had little money, spent $32.50 on a Bobby Doerr, Red Sox second baseman, black leather glove. The glove was especially meaningful to Donnelly because he knew of the sacrifices his mother made in order to pay for it. “The clerk at the sporting goods store said, ‘Ma’am, this is the type of glove that’s used in the majors.’ And she said, ‘It will be.’” For years Donnelly played with that glove, and others, but his refusal to sign for anything less than a $50,000 signing bonus, so his family would never again have to be poor, kept him out of the majors. His dream went unfulfilled until

1970, when a friend who was a scout for the New York Mets asked him to pitch batting practice for the team while in Cincinnati. His debut was less than what he had long dreamed of. The second batter he threw to, Art Shamsky, hit a laser that hit their ace pitcher Jerry Koosman, who was running in the outfield, square in the jaw. He was carted off the field and flown back to New York that night for facial reconstructive surgery. Koosman didn’t pitch for the next three months. The very next night, Mets manager Gil Hodges got hit and suffered two broken ribs. “I’m thinking, what’s going on? Two nights in a row that I’m getting people killed,” Donnelly laughed. On the mound for the third night, Donnelly heard a voice yell out, “If you think I’m coming out of the dugout, your crazy.” He looked over to see it was the Mets hitting coach, Yogi Berra. After the session was complete, without injury, Berra waved a white flag. The Mets swept the Reds that series and after getting paid $75 a night for the first two games, Donnelly was given a raise to $150 for the final game due to the teams hitting. From a suggestion from the Mets, the Dodgers also used Donnelly on their next visit to Cincinnati. Donnelly calls himself a thrower rather than a pitcher, as his balls only went straight. Sparky Anderson once quit counting after he threw 240

strikes in a row. In 1972 on four occasions 900 balls were hit over the fence. The Reds finally decided to utilize his talents and used him to throw batting practice from 1971 to 1973, earning a World Series ring in 1972. Only the starters hit, excluding the pitcher. “I said, ‘This is a glove my Mom got me to use in the majors.’ And Pete said, ‘Alright then, let’s use it,’” Donnelly fondly recalled. Seven different members of the team came to look at the glove, held together with several patches. The journey had been long, but well worth it for Donnelly. “I was finally living my dream, how many want to be players never get that chance,” said Donnelly. Many fond memories remain with Donnelly, such as when prior to the home games Sparky would order the players to line up on each side of the field to sign autographs. Donnelly always sat atop the dugout between Rose and Bench to sign for thousands. “Rose would say, ‘You know what’s going to happen in about a week when people get their pictures developed. They are going to say, that’s Rose and

that’s Bench, but whose that guy in the middle? I’m going to make you a sign that says Mr. Nobody,’” Donnelly laughed. With the heart of a major leaguer, Donnelly has spent most of his life on the diamond. He played Amateur Baseball in Dayton for 35 years, winning the National Championship in 1968 and 1984, at the age of 55. A natural athlete, Donnelly was active in a number of sports, a three sports star in high school at Northridge he was selected into their Hall of Fame in 2009 as part of the initial class. He attended the University of Dayton on a football scholarship as a 138 pound defensive back. Donnelly is also a member of the University of Dayton’s Hall of Fame, and is one of only two baseball players to have been inducted. He is also in the Dayton Amateur Baseball Hall of Fame. “The Lord has been really good to me, I’ve been able to work with some of the world’s best athletes,” he said. The price of the glove bought by his mother has been far exceeded from the experiences its rendered. No moment was ever any brighter than when Donnelly carried it onto the field for the team introductions in the 1972 World Series. “I raised the glove up in the air and said, ‘We made it Mom, it took 31 years, but we made it,’” he said.

PIT BOSS For only the second 1 NEW time in his Cup Series career, which dates back to 2004, Carl Edwards will be without the guidance of Bob Osborne atop his pit box. Together, Edwards and Osborne garnered 18 Cup wins and finished second in the point standings on two occasions. Struggling through a winless 2012, Osborne has stepped aside in favor of Chad Norris. MILESTONE START Todd Bodine made his 200th career start in the Camping World Trucks Series last weekend. With the start, he became the first driver in NASCAR history to record 200 starts in all three of NASCAR’s touring series. Bodine is a two-time Truck Series champion and has 22 wins in the series. He also has 15 wins in the Nationwide Series with five top-5 points finishes. NUMBER DON’T TELL THE STORY Jeff Gordon’s 2012 results may be disappointing — he ranks 17th in the standings — but the in-race stats reveal that he ranks in the top 5 on the circuit in laps led (426). In contrast, Carl Edwards sits 11th in the standings and has led a total of 207 laps. However, all but one of those laps led came in one race (Richmond), where he ultimately finished 10th. GETTING HOT In the first three of NASCAR’s 10-race build-up to the Chase, Kasey Kahne has been the man to beat. Kahne has finishes of second, seventh and first in those races for an average finish of 3.3. Next on the list is Brad Keselowski, who has averaged a 4.6-place finish in the three races at Kentucky, Daytona and New Hampshire. Fighting for a spot in the Chase, Kyle Busch, at 13th in the standings with one win, has averaged a paltry 16.6-place run.

The Race to the Chase

Ten-driver field appears set; wild card spots still wide open for NASCAR playoff

SPRINT CUP SERIES Track: Indianapolis Motor Speedway Race: Brickyard 400 Location: Speedway, Ind. When: Sunday, July 29 TV: ESPN (12:00 p.m. EST) Layout: 2.5-mile oval Banking/Turns: 9 degrees 2011 Winner: Paul Menard Crew Chief’s Take: “Indy is big and fast, with four unique 90 degree corners that are connected by either long, fast straights where top-end power is required, or tight shortchutes, where torque is key. Communication — within the team, between driver and crew chief, engineer and crew chief — makes more of a difference at Indy than anywhere else. You can’t take chances there in terms of strategy. Run out of gas at the wrong part of the track and you might lose four laps coasting back to pit road.” NATIONWIDE SERIES Track: Indianapolis Motor Speedway Race: Indy 250 When: Saturday, July 28 TV: ESPN (4:00 p.m. EST) 2011 Winner: Inaugural event

As if the NASCAR Sprint Cup season is not already fractured and labeled — “regular season” vs. “The Chase” — NASCAR and its television partners also feel the need to label the 10 races prior to the 10-race playoff as “The Race to the Chase.” While not a fan of the fragmentation, I’ll humor the powers that be. So with seven races remaining until the Chase, here is a rundown of which drivers and teams look to be a safe bet to make the playoffs and those with work left to do. The Big Four Matt Kenseth, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Greg Biffle and Jimmie Johnson have been the most consistent drivers on tour through 19 races. All but one have 13 top 10s and all have at least one win apiece (Biffle has 11 top 10s and one win). These four are locks for the Chase based on points earned. Once there and the standings are reset, we’ll see how the Fords hang with the Chevys. In On Wins Brad Keselowski, Tony Stewart and Denny Hamlin have had up-and-down seasons, yet the highs outweigh the lows. Keselowski and Stewart have three wins, Hamlin two, all but locking them into the Chase regardless of whether they qualify on points alone. If any of the three were to fall out of the top 10 in points (unlikely), they would be able to fall back on win totals to transfer in. Somewhere in the Middle Kevin Harvick (sixth in points), Martin Truex Jr. (eighth) and Clint Bowyer (10th) have hovered

in the middle ground of Chase qualification. That said, each appear to have a sustainable cushion on 11th-place Carl Edwards, who is 47-markers — nearly an entire race’s worth of points — behind Bowyer. Barring a monumental meltdown by any of the three, all should be in the Chase. The bigger question surrounding this trio is how competitive any will be in the 10-race Chase. Neither Harvick nor Truex has a win, and of late, neither has been a legitimate contender. Bowyer’s one win (Sonoma) proves his No. 15 team is at least capable of cashing in, and being a new team with just over half a season together is encouraging. Outside Looking In This is where the true drama lies in the upcoming seven-week stretch. Currently, Kasey Kahne and Kyle Busch occupy the two wild card slots. Kahne has two wins and sits 12th in the standings, but the points are tight in the teens. Busch has one victory and is only two points behind Kahne, yet has faltered over the past month due, in part, to mechanical issues. His last top-5 run came on Memorial Day weekend in the Coca-Cola 600. Further muddying the wild card picture are Ryan Newman and Joey Logano. Each has one victory this year, so a second would give either the nod over Busch. This is a fluid area in the standings, and one that will likely change numerous times between now and the transfer race at Richmond. Arguably the biggest question mark in this convoluted mess is Edwards, who sits 11th in points, yet has yet to win a race. Desperate for wins, team owner Jack Roush pulled the trigger on a

crew chief change for Edwards, replacing his longtime boss, Bob Osborne, with Cup-newcomer Chad Norris. The angle here appears to be that Edwards and his No. 99 team need wins, not consistent finishes, to qualify. Despite his teammates’ strength (Kenseth and Biffle), Edwards has simply shown very little pure speed — and it’s hard to contend, much less win without it. The thinking is a change at the top is the only remaining option. Flying as under-the-radar as one can is Paul Menard, who has quietly nestled into the 15th spot in the standings. Menard won last season’s Brickyard 400, so the potential is there, but he has the dubious distinction of being the highest ranked driver with the fewest amount of top 10s (four). Aside from that, his No. 27 team, like Edwards’, has not proven it can contend for wins (zero top-5 finishes). The smoke-and-mirrors trick will only last for so long. Just behind this battle sits Jeff Gordon, who has experienced enough bad luck in 2012 to last a lifetime. He is a whopping 89 points out of 10th, making a surge improbable at best. A win or two — and he’s certainly capable of that — would jump start his chances. However, Gordon thought he had a winning piece in Loudon only to place sixth. If that’s what a “winning piece” gets ya, the odds don’t look good. Marcos Ambrose, Jeff Burton and Jamie McMurray round out the top 20, but none have shown the ability to consistently post top 10s, much less score race wins — although Ambrose is dangerous on the road courses.

Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: No one appreciates Indy more than Tony Stewart. He always brings something extra. Pretty Solid Pick: Jeff Gordon’s four Indy wins are the most in NASCAR’s 18 visits to the historic track. Good Sleeper Pick: Mark Martin has 11 top 10s in 18 Brickyard races. Runs on Seven Cylinders: Martin Truex Jr. has zero top 10s in seven IMS starts. Insider Tip: It takes the total package to win at Indy. Stick with the big guns.

Classic Moments Indianapolis Motor Speedway In a move that highlights its rise to prominence in the 1990s, NASCAR makes its historic debut at the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1994. Eighty-five cars — a number unheard of even at NASCAR’s peak of popularity — attempt to qualify for the 1994 Brickyard 400. Rick Mast sits on the pole. Jeff Gordon’s rise coincides with the sport’s, as the 23-year-old scores his second career Cup victory in an impressive performance in which he paces the field for 93 of the 160 laps. Ernie Irvan appears to have something for Gordon, but he cuts a tire on the backstretch in the event’s waning laps, and he falls off the pace, allowing Gordon to cruise to his first of a series-best four Brickyard wins.

I On Wednesday evening the U.S. House of Representatives defeated a measure that would prohibit military funding in professional sports and sponsorships by a vote of 216-202. The amendment was sponsored by Rep. Jack Kingston (RGa.) and Rep. Betty McCollum (D-Minn.). “I’m as pro-military as they get,” Kingston argued. “And the only thing that’s a bigger population (in my district) Throttle Up/Throttle Down than my military are my NASCAR fans. And yet they’re saying to me, ‘We’re pro-NASCAR, but ... we can spend this BRAD KESELOWSKI AND TONY STEWmoney a lot better than we are today.’” ART Both drivers have three wins as the Cup Series hits its final off-weekend Rep.

Ryan Hunter-Reay, who had two victories (Milwaukee and Iowa) driving No. 28 Team DHL/Sun Drop Citrus Soda Chevrolet in the IndyCar Series, earned two first-place votes and tallied 71 points. Joey Logano, who raced in both the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series, had a Cup victory in Pocono and three Nationwide wins, finishing third with one first-place vote and 51 points. Ron Capps, of the NHRA, and the World of Outlaws’ Sammy Swindell, each had two first-place votes. A total of 20 drivers scored points in the second quarter voting. I While the Sprint Cup Series enjoyed its final off-weekend of the season, both the Nationwide and Camping World Truck series were in action at Chicagoland. Elliott Sadler fought through the flu for a thrilling win, earning his third win of 2012 in the STP 300 Nationwide race. The Nationwide Series runs its premier event at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Saturday in the Indy 250. In the Truck Series, James Buescher grabbed the victory in the American Ethanol 225, his third victory in his last seven races this year. Jimmie Johnson

Fleming is Kil-Kare modified winner XENIA — A great crowd was on hand Friday night to witness a full night of racing at Kil-Kare Speedway. The NASCAR Whelen All-American Series stars and cars were on hand. The modified feature turned out to be a super race for the fans. New Carlisle’s Brad Williams claimed the top spot and looked to be on his way to first in his AFI mod. Ten-time winner Ryan Fleming came along and was second on the white flag, With the checker flag in sight, Fleming was able to nudge ahead of Williams to take his eighth win of the season in his Cupp’s Distributing backed racer. Fast qualifier Mike Carroll was third, with Derek Barnette fourth and Daryl McKay fifth. Barnette was the winner of the dash. The street stock feature also saw a close

finish as point leader Tyler Mahaffey caught early leader Josh Longstreth on the white flag, but could only watch as Longstreth took the win by less than a car length. It was the second win for Longstreth in his Scene 75 backed racer, Jamie Sites, Travis Digges and David Stump finished third through fifth respectively. David Stump was the dash winner, with Digges setting the fast time. The 30 lap late model feature saw a familiar face smiling in victory lane. New Carlisle’s Dick Dunlevy, Jr. continued his march to the track title by winning his 11th feature of the season in his Duncan Oil/Turbo Blue ride. It was a clean sweep for Dunlevy as he set the fast time and won the dash and feature. Shawn Stansell, Bob Justus, Tony

Brunke and Terry Scherz finished second through fifth respectively. The 20 lap compact main was won by Bo Hoelscher of Riverside, in his Peabodysports.com Honda. The win was the 10th of the season for the popular driver. Bryan Lynch, who set a new track record earlier in the evening and was second, followed by Joe Hoelscher, Amber Sites and Paul Holley. The dash checker went to Joe Hoelscher with Steve Barnhart winning the heat. Jack Holbrook and John Edwards were winners of the trailer races. This Friday Kil-Kare will host the International Outlaw Figure Eight Series along with the Whelen All-American Series featuring the late models, modifieds, street Stocks and compacts.
