Day Air Credit Union awards scholarships KETTERING — The winners of Day Air Credit Union’s two $1,000 scholarships for the 2012-2013 school year are Alexandra Dosen (University of Dayton) and Kelsie Anderson (Northmont High School). Day Air Credit Union’s scholarship is based on academic achievement, extracurricular activities, community service involvement and an essay on financial literacy. “This is Day Air Credit Union’s fifth year
offering this scholarship and we are excited to name our scholarship winners. At Day Air, we feel it is important to award members and students who are high achievers both in the classroom and in the community,” said William Burke, President & CEO, “and we will continue to award these scholarships on an annual basis.” Alexandra Dosen, is a freshman at the University of Dayton studying Management
Information Systems and is from Broadview Heights, Oh. She is active on campus in the University of Dayton Dance Team, the Kickboxing club and the Red Scare Spirit Club. In addition, she works part time for Flyer Enterprises on campus. During her first year at UD she has been on the Dean’s List and has received the President’s Merit Scholarship. Kelsie Anderson, a 2012 Northmont High School graduate, will be attending Miami
University of Ohio in the fall studying Business. During high school, she was active in Student Government, serving as Student Body President her senior year. She was a member of the Varsity Gymnastics Team and a cheerleader all four years of high school. She will be graduating high school with a 4.0 GPA, was in the National Society of High School Scholars during her junior and senior year and was part of the Northmont Honor Society all semesters.
Singing, ringing, strumming and tapping at Hithergreen sk anybody what they wish for and you’ll probably find health and happiness at the top of their list. Ask them how to attain those states of being and they might hesitate… unless they happen to be a dancer, singer or musician. For them it’s pretty clear - they are happiest and feel their best when they’re doing what they love most. At least that’s the case for the 70 Hithergreen members who will sing, ring, strum and tap during a show at 2 p.m. Saturday, July 14 at Hithergreen in celebration of the center’s 30th anniversary. The event is free, open to the public and includes refreshments. Grace Grosse led the way for music at Hithergreen by starting our Soft Shoe Steppers around 20 years ago. Mary Harwood, of Miss Milea’s Smile Awhile Dance Studio in Centerville, came to the center five years ago when Grace was hanging up her tap shoes and Mary “was searching for a way to give back to the community for my many blessings.” Under Mary’s volunteer direction, our 15-member tap troupe, ages 57-93, practice various routines at the center every Monday afternoon and perform in the community throughout the year. Mary describes tap dancing as “the rhythm of the heart” while our youngest and newest dancer, Maureen Hamilton,
A
Cynthi Fraley Adventures in Aging says it’s not only great exercise but, “It gets me out of my head; helps me connect to my playful side and let’s me ‘just be’ for awhile.” And what does Mumble, the tapdancing penguin in Happy Feet, think? “It’s just like singing… with your body!” While the Soft Shoe Steppers were singing with their bodies, Duard and Mildred Bowron were starting our vocal choir in 1995 as a “relaxed, fun group of mixed singers.” Not much has changed since then except that Rick Lewis took over as choir director and expanded into chimes when the Bowron’s retired: a fitting exchange of batons since Duard was Rick’s first music teacher at Temple Christian School. Rick does a great job juggling his duties as choir director; his other tasks as our Education and Recreation Coordinator and directing the Normandy United Methodist Church bell and vocal choirs. He has no choice in his opinion because, ” I can’t pull my hair out… there isn’t any there to pull!” Bob Cooper has been a member of our vocal and chime choirs since they began as a way to exercise his
mind by learning how to read music. Sid Stansel agreed to join as a concession to his wife Jan if she would play table tennis with him. Logical reasons to begin but if you listen to them sing it doesn’t appear that logic has anything to do with it now. They seem to be following along the path of American Philosopher William James when he said, “I don’t sing because I’m happy. I’m happy because I sing.” So do the other 30 members of the choir whose passion and talent has kept them busy practicing every Thursday morning and performing in the community; one performance they are especially excited about is a 30-minute program for arriving fans at the Dayton Dragons game on July 23. Ella Land, a founding member of our dulcimer group, remembers the Hithergreen Strummers also beginning in 1995, since that was the year she was looking for something to do after retiring from a 35-year career as a registered nurse with Miami Valley Hospital. Under the gregarious leadership of Arlie Brown (who helped Ella and others make their own dulcimers in our woodshop), and talented instruction from Don Sears, Ella progressed from her handmade dulcimer to a Blue Lion (“the Cadillac of dulcimers”) and then to the hammered dulcimer that she plays today. All 30 members of the
group who practice every Monday morning have seen their skills improve thanks to following the motto, “Practice makes Perfect.” Beginning level students start with Boil That Cabbage Down, a song made popular by the Smothers Brothers (the one where Tommy wouldn’t “Take It!” from Dickie), and one that I challenge you to get out of your head after hearing it played repeatedly! But after all these years the group now boils more than cabbages in their repertoire and has advanced to playing a variety of Appalachian folk songs using dulcimers and other acoustic instruments. If past performances are any indication, the July 14 program by our gifted members promises to include an eclectic mix of songs (from old standards to popular show tunes), snappy dancing, lively strumming, nimble ringing and humorous commentary from principal conductor Rick Lewis. Hot dogs, root beer floats and anniversary cake will round out the program that is sponsored by Otterbein Skilled Nursing and Rehab Neighborhoods. This will be a great summer event for the whole family so make your reservations today by calling the center at

OPINION
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. - The First Amendment to the United States Constitution
Billionaires vs. billionaires For those who believe money already has too much power in American politics, 2012 will be a miserable year. The Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, lassitude at the Federal Election Commission and the growing audacity of very rich conservatives have created a new political system that will make the politics of the Gilded Age look like a clean government paradise. Americans won’t even fully know what’s happening to them because so much can be donated in secrecy to opaque organizations. It’s always helpful for voters to know who is trying to buy an election, and for whom. This time, much of the auction will be held in private. You can be sure that the candidates will find out who helped elect them, but the voters will remain in the dark. We do know that the playing field this year is tilted sharply to the right. Journalists often focus on the world of rich liberals in places such as Hollywood and Silicon Valley. But there are even more conservative millionaire and billionaire donors who hail from less mediagenic places. There is, for example, a lot of oil money in Texas. Then there’s Wall Street. Once a bountiful source of Democratic as well as Republican cash, it has shifted toward the party of Mitt Romney, John Boehner and Mitch
McConnell. And then there’s Las Vegas casino mogul Sheldon By E.J. Adelson, whose $10 million donation to the super PAC supporting Romney was reported Wednesday. Republicans argue that turnabout is fair play. Barack Obama shunned the public financing system in 2008 and vastly outspent John McCain. Democrats, they say, are complaining now because they are at a disadvantage. That’s at best half right. It’s true that Obama struck a blow against public financing, though the system was insufficiently financed and would eventually have collapsed under its own weight. And four years ago, Obama filled his coffers through the regulated system that limited the size of contributions and required disclosure. This year, there are no guardrails, no limits on what can be raised and spent. A remarkably small number of very wealthy people will be able to do what hasn’t been done for generations. And their influence will be especially large in congressional races where the outside groups can swamp what the candidates themselves spend. Those who claim that this is all about free speech need to explain how speech
is free when one side can buy the microphone and can set the terms of debate, especially in contests below the presidential level. What is to be done? The IRS could and should crack down on political committees legally disguised as “charities.” The Federal Election Commission and Congress could promote disclosure. The Supreme Court could undo its error, or we could do it by embarking on the cumbersome process of amending the Constitution. Ultimately, we need to democratize the money chase by providing, say, 5-to-1 public matches for small donations. But it’s highly unlikely that any of this will happen before November, so here is a modest proposal: A small group of billionaires, aided perhaps by a few super millionaires, should form an alliance to offset the spending of the other billionaires and super millionaires. They might call themselves Billionaires Against Billionaire Politics. These public-spirited citizens would announce that they will match every penny raised by the various super PACs on the other side. In principle, they could commit themselves to balancing off whichever side — conservative or liberal, Republican or Democrat — is

dominating the airwaves and the fundraising. The idea would be to destroy the incentives for the very rich to buy the election. If shrewd wealthy people realized that every $10 million they put up would be met immediately by $10 million from the other side, they might lose interest in the exercise. As a practical matter, it’s conservative dollars that need to be offset, so this balancing act would likely be financed by non-conservatives. George Soros, Warren Buffett and New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg come to mind. But there may be other, less high-profile wealthy folks who want to do their patriotic bit. The hope is that this would be a one-shot deal. After one nuclear winter of an election, rich partisans could agree to mutual disarmament. It’s preposterous that our system has handed over so much power to those with large fortunes that the only way to get matters under control is to have one group of rich people check the power of another group of rich people. Maybe the absurdity of it all will finally force the Supreme Court and Congress to bring us back to something more reasonable. It’s called democracy. Veteran Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne offers reasoned political analysis from an energetic progressive viewpoint.
Editorial Neither candidate details hard choices of fixing the economy
Running for magician-in-chief Republicans are embracing a dangerous Marxist philosophy Our long national nightmare is over. Mitt Romney has won the Republican nomination for president. Let the etch-a-sketching begin. Romney was officially put over the top by the Texas primary last month, although in truth his victory had been a foregone conclusion ever since Rick Santorum (remember him?) packed it in weeks before. His task now is to persuade moderates and independents that he’s not as crazy as he’s sounded so far, while simultaneously convincing the Republican right wing that he is. It’s not an easy task, but it’s one he’s well suited to. Pick your issue — health care, abortion, gay rights, immigration, gun control, Planned Parenthood, Libya — and at one time or another Romney has been on two sides of it. Sometimes three. It’s likely, however, that he’ll try to finesse the question of what he’s for in favor of attacking the incumbent. President Barack Obama just can’t seem to do anything right, according to Mitt. He’s too soft on Russia and China, too hard on Israel, too mean to business, and too nice to unions. Romney admits the economy is getting better, but he thinks that’s despite Obama’s policies rather than because of them. “Obamacare” is a terrible idea. Romney would get rid of it on “Day One” of his presidency. Oh yes, he would also cut the deficit and lower the price of gas, all the while spending more on the military without raising taxes. In other words, Romney isn’t running for president. He’s running for Magician-
COMMENTARY By Donald Kaul OtherWords Columnist in-Chief. So far it seems to be working pretty well for him. He’s nearly even with Obama in the polls and the election is five months away. Anything can happen. I must admit, I don’t quite get it. The Republican Party has turned its back on immigrants, gays, blacks, Latinos, unions, and women. Who’s left? Most white guys, I suppose. Homophobes, women threatened by feminism, people who don’t believe in the separation of church and state, and those who don’t believe in evolution or global warming. Rich people. It puts me in mind of the passage from Huckleberry Finn where one con man says to the other: “Hain’t we got all the fools in town on our side? And ain’t that a big enough majority in any town?” I suppose both candidates will, at some point or other, announce that this is the most important election of our lifetime. Presidential candidates always say that. It’s not. Campaign rhetoric always overstates the power of the president, who is hostage to events beyond his control. If the European Union goes down, for example, we
go down with it, regardless of who’s residing in the White House. And that doesn’t even factor in the dangers of Marxism embraced by Republicans in Congress. I mean the philosophy Groucho espoused, of course. Our Republican legislators resemble nothing so much as the faculty of Huxley College in the 1932 Marx brothers film Horse Feathers. The opening scene features Groucho Marx as Quincy Adams Wagstaff, the school’s newly installed president, bouncing around in his academic robes singing: I don’t know what they have to say, It makes no difference anyway — Whatever it is, I’m against it! No matter what it is or who commenced it, I’m against it. Your proposition may be good, but let’s have one thing understood — whatever it is, I’m against it! And even when you’ve changed it or condensed it, I’m against it. Now we know where Mitch McConnell and John Boehner get their material. This could be an historic election if the electorate were to rise up and throw the Republicans out into the middle of the street, but I can’t see it happening. And even then, we’d still be left with Democrats, who look good only when compared to Republicans. The election is less than five months away. A new nightmare begins.

The Washington Post, June 16 The dueling economic speeches by President Obama and presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney on Thursday were both clarifying and obscuring. Neither candidate broke substantive new ground, but they offered a useful distillation of their conflicting analyses of the nation’s current economic problems. Even more important, the candidates presented sharply different visions of the economic road ahead, in particular the proper scope and function of government. The more disappointing, obscuring part: Neither candidate presented anything close to an honest portrayal of what it would take to achieve the reforms each presents as essential. … In terms of the road ahead, the two candidates differ dramatically on how government can best help achieve both economic growth and fiscal stability. Mr. Romney’s view is that the government should basically back off, slim down and let the private sector carry on. Mr. Obama’s prescription is for a more robust governmental role, investing in education, research and infrastructure. And this is where the bipartisan obfuscation comes in. Mr. Romney offers the bait of lowered tax rates without the painful hook of details about what popular tax preferences he would cut — the mortgage interest deduction, employersponsored health care, retirement savings? — to avoid adding trillions to the debt. He vows that “I’m going to go after the deficit” without being clear about the painful cuts and threats to the safety net that will entail. The few specifics that Mr. Romney mentions, such as cutting the number of federal employees through attrition, are not nearly up to the magnitude of the cuts that would be required. Mr. Obama is obscure in his own way. As the president tells it, tackling the debt will require asking for sacrifice — but only from the wealthiest Americans. Scarcely mentioned: the simultaneous need to tackle entitlement spending. The president jabbed at politicians for “saying you really care about the deficit when somebody else is in charge, and then you don’t care when you’re in charge.” But he has been in charge — and failed to be the fierce advocate for reform some hoped for. Voters might be forgiven for wondering whether, if they give the president a second term, he will be more passionate in pursuing it than he has been in the first. And they have reason to question, if they give Mr. Romney a shot, whether he will veer from the intransigence of the campaign trail to adopt the sort of balanced approach to dealing with the debt that the president has endorsed and that will be essential to any acceptable solution. — The Morning Journal, Lorain, Ohio

Dasha Fitness offers state of the art fitness services MIAMISBURG — Dasha Fitness, LLC has recently opened at Sycamore Medical Center, 4000 Miamisburg-Centerville Road, suite 215. Owned by Springboro resident Brenda Schumacher, ACE, Dasha Fitness provides comprehensive, state-of-the-art fitness and health-education services that go beyond the typical health club or “big box” locations. Starting with an experienced staff that is certified with two of the most respected and accredited organizations within the fitness industry, Dasha Fitness provides personalized training, lifestyle monitoring, and diagnostic tools that are unique to this region. Schumacher’s credentials include certification as a Certified Personal Trainer from the American Council on Exercise (ACE). Her background includes marketing and management. The name “Dasha” is derived from Ayurvedic medicine defined as “daily living” and “knowledge or science of life.” The base word is “dosha,” or bodily humor. The balancing of three doshas is necessary for the maintenance of life. “We offer a variety of cardio-respiratory machines, resistance equipment, free weights, and other fitness tools such as behavioral strategies and nutritional awareness to increase wellness,” Schumacher explained. “Most importantly, we’re not here to sell bulk memberships, but to be “lifestyle educators” for people regardless of age, capabilities or size and shape,” she continued. Clients do not have to sign long-term contracts, but may purchase a monthly, discounted-yearly, or daily membership. (Her staff does not work on commission.) A market that Dasha Fitness serves, which is not being met elsewhere, is bariatric patients who undergo surgery to help correct health-related weight problems. “We are quickly becoming a pioneer in serving this market,” Schumacher points out. She excitedly reports that a bariatric patient has been coming to Dasha from Columbus, after he could not find suitable fitness equipment there. A partner in this cause is her husband, Dr. David Schumacher, whose practice, Kettering Bariatrics, is also located in the Sycamore Medical Center. Dr. Schumacher, a graduate of The Ohio State University School of Medicine, treats and performs surgery on patients who need to improve their health through weight loss. In general, these patients have up to 100 pounds to lose and suffer from ailments such as diabetes-type 2, hypertension, high cholesterol, and sleep apnea. Having 12 years of experience, Dr. Schumacher has treated patients weighing up to 770 pounds. His surgeries include laparoscopic or minimallyinvasive approaches for gastric bypass, adjustable gastric band and sleeve gastrectomy, a relatively new procedure that Dr. Schumacher introduced in the Miami Valley. With bariatric clients, Dasha’s mission is as much rehabilitation as fitness. With obesity being a national epidemic, the Schumachers see a greatly increased need for serving this “special population.” Dasha is currently in the process of gathering research in an effort to obtain recognition as “bariatric rehab” for this specialty from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Medicare. One client, Shelly Tebbe of West Alexandria, received gastric bypass surgery from Dr. Schumacher in early March, and has been a conscientious and a very determined client of Dasha since April. “Someone with my needs can’t just walk into the local “Y” to receive qualified help,” she explained. Even though Shelly works full time, she visits Dasha twice a week. “We are working on my balance as I lose weight, and Brenda has been doing a wonderful job!” she stresses. The special equipment found only at Dasha has been particularly helpful. “I’m building up endurance I never had,” she proudly points out. Interestingly, Dasha also works with clients who are thin, but still may not be fit. The lack of physical activity is a predictor for cardiovascular disease. A large percentage of Americans
Bailey receives award MIAMISBURG — Linda L. Bailey, financial advisor recently received an award from RiverSource Life Insurance Company. The award recognizes Ameriprise financial advisors who have helped clients use annuity solutions to help plan for a more confident retirement in 2011. As a financial advisor, she works to help clients plan for their financial goals for a lifetime - through a personal longterm financial planning relationship. In addition to variable, fixed and income annuities, she is knowledgeable on a variety of topics and strategies including retirement, tax and estate planning, and asset management strategies. Bailey’s office is located at 3045 Newmark Drive, Miamisburg. Bailey can be reached at 937-312-8186 or via www.Ameripriseadvisors.com/linda.l.bailey.
Brenda Schumacher want to be active, but don’t know how active they need to be to get fitness benefits. Another group that Dasha enjoys working with is hospital and healthcare employees, who don’t take care of their own health needs as they busily care for others during stressful shifts. Equipment unique to Dasha includes the InBody230, a bodycomposition analysis testing device that precisely analyzes body composition by fat, muscle mass, and muscular development so that clients can understand how diet, lifestyle and exercise influence a body’s composition. It provides information about the healthiest range for your gender, height and age. It also divides the body into quadrants to show how muscle mass is distributed for balance and proportion. “This goes beyond the standard BMI (body mass index) with which most people are familiar,” Schumacher said. Additionally, it can accommodate clients who weigh up to 550 pounds. Exercise equipment at Dasha that is not available elsewhere includes the NuStep T5xr Recumbent Cross Trainer - with a weight limit of 600 pounds - which provides a seated, total body workout that burns calories, builds strength and improves cardiovascular fitness - while minimizing joint stress and lower back pain. This allows for a comfortable workout, which in turn encourages ongoing participation and interest. They also have specialized fitness analysis software that is unique in this area to provide detailed fitness tracking. This information allows the trainers to design exercise programs tailored specifically for each client while monitoring progress. Dasha Fitness offers a complimentary 30-minute training session. Each Thursday, from 4:30-5:30 p.m., they conduct a group exercise class for $7. For further information, contact Dasha Fitness at 937-2479456, or visit them on Facebook. Dr. Schumacher can be reached at 937-914-7510; www.ketteringbariatrics.com. Dasha’s web site will soon provide additional information at www.dashafit.com.

Centerville-Washington Twp. Times
Kentucky gets it right in year two By SHAWN BAUMAN Times sports editor tcsports@tcnewsnet.com SPARTA, Kent. — For most of the month of June, we have been running a NASCAR page in each of our newspapers and to this point the feedback has been extremely positive. Unfortunately, with the Fourth of July holiday upon us, this week’s newspapers are simply to chock full of local news to include our weekly NASCAR update. It becomes even more unfortunate when you consider that this week follows Saturday night’s Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway, less than a two-hour drive for most of our readers. In case you missed it, myself and former Times sports writer and current Vandalia editor Darrell Wacker made the trip south to participate in just the second-ever Sprint Cup Series event at the track. To clarify, when I say participate, I mean follow around the drivers and their cars like a couple of school kids experiencing their first brush with celebrities. I am happy to report that I didn’t ask for a single autograph, although I did con one not so gracious driver into a quick photo-op, but more on that in a minute. We arrived at the Speedway approximately six hours before the race started, plenty of time to visit the garages, hit the pits and even sit in on the driver’s pre-race meeting. We pulled out of Dayton around noon and after five hours of pre-race festivities, a nearly three-hour race and some unfortunate departure delays, we pulled back into Dayton around 3 a.m. the next morning. There were a lot of things I took from my 15hour experience, but four names in particular stood out to me on Saturday. Brad Keselowski. If you watched Saturday night’s race, you will understand why I am starting my list out with the drive of the number 2 Dodge Miller Lite car. After trailing Kyle Busch for most of the night, Keselowski took over late and cruised to the checkered flag for his series-high third Cup win of the 2012 season. Keselowski’s victory was significant to me for one reason and one reason only - it should have happened at this track a season ago as well. Keselowski dominated the inaugural Cup race at Kentucky Speedway last year only to falter late and watch old nemesis Busch escape with the win. The roles were flipped this year as Busch dominated for most of the evening before running into trouble in the final 50 laps and fading to a 10th place finish. I wasn’t exactly rooting for Keselowski at the start of the race, but I found it fitting that he turned the tables on Busch and finished what he started a season ago at this track. Kevin Harvick. Different from Keselowski, if you watched Saturday night’s race, you probably have absolutely no idea why Harvick made an impression on me. Harvick, who sits sixth in the overall driver standings, was average at best for the entire night on Saturday. He started fourth, but quickly faded to ninth and hovered somewhere between eighth and 12th for what seemed like the entire race. I mention him only because he is my favorite driver and this is my column. I’m not proud of it, but I want to get it out there. Darrell and I followed the number 29 Budweiser Chevrolet as it left the garage and rolled through each step of the pre-race inspection process. His crew was very gracious both before and after the race, including allowing us to take some of the pink-painted lug nuts used on the car during the race, something my nineyear old daughter appreciated greatly. Harvick was the driver I picked out of a hat to follow when I first began watching NASCAR some five years ago and I have stuck with him ever since. He’ll need some better performances than Saturday night if he would like to guarantee it is going to stay that way. Seriously, I kid. Kyle Busch. If you are a supporter of Kevin Harvick, Brad Keselowski or any other driver for that matter, the chances are you absolutely loath Kyle Busch. He is NASCAR’s perfect villain. He made his impression on my not with his performance on the track, but long before the green flag waved. Busch was one of the first driver’s to step into the driver’s meeting and I quickly pointed him out to Darrell. It is no secret that Harvick and Busch have some history, so it makes sense that I’m no fan of Busch’s. However, after watching him in the meeting and then watching him hang around with his wife afterward for the worship service, I started to think maybe my impression of NASCAR’s bad boy was the wrong one. So following service, I found myself standing a few feet away from him as his wife talked up another wife near the exit. I decided to take a shot. I walked over and asked him if he would mind a quick picture. Now mind you, fans that were allowed in the meeting were posing with their favorite driver both before and after and the majority of the driver’s were very gracious with their time. I quickly found out Kyle wasn’t like most drivers. He quickly let out an obvious grunt of frustration and rolled his eyes as he leaned in for a quick photo. As Darrell pulled the camera up, I could see Kyle turn his frown upside down for the three additional seconds it took for that flash to go off. He huffed again, quickly turned away and made his way out the door without his wife like he was behind the wheel of his number 18 M&M’s Toyota. I went through a range of emotions for Kyle Busch on Saturday but I ended up right back where I started. I simply loath that guy. Officer Bill. The truth is, I have no idea what the officer’s name was that had the unenviable task of manning the tunnel that was the only thing standing between me and freedom from the infield at Kentucky Speedway Saturday night. The track had some much publicized traffic issues last year and after what seemed to be a flawless entry from the estimated 105,000 people that attended the event, everything appeared to be working very smoothly. That is, unless you were one of the few given a terrific parking spot on the infield. As traffic backed up exiting the track, Officer Bill was forced to hold all cars trying to exit the infield. We sat in my car for over two hours without budging. Officer Bill felt our pain, but was under strict orders to hold us against our will. Seriously, I kid. After two hours, we began our crawl out of the infield, back onto Interstate 71 and arrived back home shortly after 3 a.m. It was a somewhat minor glitch in what was otherwise a terrific experience at Kentucky Speedway. If you get the opportunity next year or in the future, attending a race should absolutely be crossed off your bucket list. Kentucky Speedway does not have the same appeal as Bristol, Daytona or Talladega, but with it practically in our own backyard, it is more than worth the two-hour drive to Sparta. If you missed it, hopefully this column will give you your NASCAR fix for the week in place of our usual full page. With that in mind, I would love to hear your comments on our weekly NASCAR page, this column or anything else sports realated. Please e-mail me at tcsports@tcnewsnet.com and let me know what you think.

Centerville steeplechaser Ryan Larkin (below) posted the second fasted time in Centerville history at the USA Junior Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
Elks compete in national events CENTERVILLE — Five members of the Centerville Elks boys track and field team continued their season this weekend by qualifying for National-level meets based on times run earlier in the season. “This was an amazing opportunity for all of these kids,” stated head coach Matt Somerlot. “This is the first group of athletes that CHS has had compete at the high school national level.” The All-Ohio 4x800 meter relay team of Dan McCoy, Garrett Morrison, Caleb Andreason and Josh Steible traveled to the New Balance Nationals in Greensboro, NC where they finished in 22nd place. “All four boys in the 4x800 relay got a taste of elite competition and saw that they can compete at that level now,” said Somerlot. “This will greatly benefit all of them as they continue their running careers.” Elk sophomore Ryan Larkin headed to Bloomington, Ind. where he competed in the 3000-meter steeplechase at the USA Junior Outdoor Track & Field Championships finishing in 19th place. Larkin’s time places him as the number one tenth grader in the US and number two all time at Centerville High School. “Ryan’s race puts him in elite company and sets him up to grow from this race and go after big goals the next two years,” said Somerlot. “Overall, this was a great end to a great season,” said Somerlot in closing.
Patterson Park squad claims runner-up title The Patterson Park 12U Traveling All-Stars finished as runners-up of the Vandalia Invitational Tournament this past weekend (June 23-24). The squad finished the tournament with a 4-2 record, dropping both of their decisions to the eventual champions, a very tough Wapokoneta Redskins team. The team includes players from Oakwood, Kettering, Dayton, Beavercreek, Centerville and Bellbrook and play in the Patterson Park Youth Baseball program on Irving Avenue. Members of the team include, front row (from left to right): Kaes Drumheller, Ben Thomas, Matt Wagner, Joe Geraghty, Jake Kollars, Connor Morris; middle row (left to right): Tyler Spurlock, Terrence Engle, Luke Stechschulte, Logan Koch, Josh Knox, Aidan Hand; back row (left to right): Coach Morris, Coach Koch, Alec Warren and Coach Kollars.

The 2012 Vandalia-Butler Chamber of Commerce Dayton Air Show Parade is Friday, July 6th. While the parade officially steps off at 7 p.m., preparation begins as early as 3 p.m. and can create traffic congestion in the parade staging area. Don't miss this great community event through downtown Vandalia. The route begins at St. Christopher’s parking lot (on U.S. 40 near I-75), travels west to the historic Crossroads of America, turns north on North Dixie and finishes at the Delphi plant on Northwoods Blvd. Motorists should exercise great caution and patience in the area because of the increased pedestrian traffic.
the graceful aerobatic maneuvers of the four-plane Diamond Formation, in concert with the fast-paced, high-performance maneuvers of its two Solo Pilots. Finally, the team illustrates the pinnacle of precision flying, performing maneuvers locked as a unit in the renowned, six-jet Delta Formation. For Blue Angel #2, right-wing pilot, Lt. John Hiltz, the show will be a homecoming of sorts as he hails from Ft. Mitchell, KY. The 1998 graduate of Covington Catholic High School will be joined by three other Blue Angels from Ohio: AM1(AW) Damien Hurrier and AM1(AW) Chris Simon of Cincinnati along with AM1(AW) Joseph “Bo” Tullis of Miamisburg. The team is stationed at Forrest Sherman Field, Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida, during the show season. However, the squadron spends January through March training pilots and new team members at Naval Air Facility El Centro, California.
• The FALL Semester will start August 22nd.
