KETTERING – It’s not the typical Alter vs. Fairmontget-together – the football stadium is empty and eventhough Trent Arena is busy with students from bothschools, no one is screaming in the basketball bleachers.This quiet competition is the annual mid-summer blooddrive battle between the Kettering rivals, and it’s a bigboost for Community Blood Center (CBC) in the battleagainst a sluggish, summer blood supply.

“We’re unusually busy,” said CBC Rep. CarolynHolland. “I don’t remember when I’ve seen it so steady allday!”

It may be mid-summer, but the student volunteershave jumped into action as if it was a campus blood drivein mid-semester. FHS student council members in darkblue “Fairmont” t-shirts are manning the registrationtable. Senior Max Ducharme greets donors with help fromsophomores Ashley Laurenc and Collin Berry. Ashley islooking forward to marching band practice starting nextweek and Collin has been enjoying his summer AP classesin math and English. And if you ask Max if he’s expectinga big senior year, the answer is “Of course!”

“I’ve been running a lot this summer and working,”said Max, who is captain of the FHS cross country team,and handles a mean scooper at Rita’s Italian Ice. It’s OKwith him if summer is flying by. “I’ve never been moreexcited for school ever!”

Handing out donut holes and cookies over at theDonor Café is the opposing team of volunteers from Alter,seniors Elizabeth “Bee” Kunesh, Marissa “Reesa Cup”Whitford and Lauren Blommuel. All were more thanhappy to help when asked to with the drive.

For Bee, the Alter retreat will be a big part of her sen-ior year and she looks forward to a possible career as afirefighter or EMT.

For Lauren, “The beginning of summer was funbecause I was traveling in Europe! Since I’ve been back it’sbeen pretty boring!”

Marisa has also been on the move this summer. Shevisited Maria Stein and spent four days at a retreat in WestVirginia where she says “I rediscovered how to pray.”

Next stop was a SOAR retreat. “I just got back so I’vebeen chillin’,” she laughed.

[email protected]—Plans foraproject thatwillbringnewsen-

ior housing to Kettering were passed, some as emergency ordi-nances, during the July 10 meeting of the Kettering City Coun-cil.

Theproject,knownasAcornWalk,Limited,willbedevelopedby the Franklin Foundation of Kettering Park Four, Inc., a com-pany based in Columbus that focuses on senior citizens’housingand retirement communities.

“This isexcitingfor theCityofKettering,”KetteringMayorDonPattersonsaidof theproject. “We’rea landlockedcommunityandyou don’t get to do this (create new housing) very often.

“AndwecouldneverhavefoundabetterpartnerthantheFranklinFoundation,” he continued. “This is the fourth time we’veworked with them and w can’t be more pleased.”

The city worked with the foundation on Mary Irene Gardens,Birchwood Place and Kettering Park Manor.

“Thisbeganapproximatelysixyearsagowhenwestartedwork-ing with developers,” Fullenkamp said. “Then it got delayed bythe economy. Now, we’re ready to start again.”

Heat returns,hints for

staying coolBy BILL DUFFIELD

Times [email protected] — After a

brief reprieve from the blister-ing heat, the near-record tem-peratures are back. There areways to protect yourself fromthe heat, however, and make itsafer and more bearable.

Protecting yourself from theheat actually begins before thetemps rise. Preparation is key,according to information on theFEMA website.

FEMA suggests the follow-ing before the extreme heat:

• Check air conditioningducts for proper insulation andmake sure window air condi-tioners are installed snuglywith insulation, if needed;

• Cover the windows that re-ceive afternoon sun withdrapes, shades, awnings or lou-vers. Outdoor awnings can re-duce the heat that enters ahome by up to 80 percent;

• Weather strip doors andsills to keep cool air in;

• Build an emergency kit.When the extreme heat ar-

rives, FEMA suggests that you:• Stay indoors as much as

possible and limit exposure tothe sun;

• Stay on the lowest floor andout of the sunshine if air con-ditioning is not available;

• Eat well-balanced, light,and regular meals;

• Drink plenty of water,even if you do not feel thirsty.Avoid caffiene and alcoholicbeverages. Those who haveepilepsy or heart, kidney, or liv-er disease, or are on a fluid-re-strictive diet should consult adoctor before increasing liquidintake;

• Dress in loose-fitting, light-weight and light colored clothesthat cover as much of the skinas possible. Dark colors absorbthe sun’s rays and hold heat.Also, protect your face andhead when outside by wearinga wide-brimmed hat;

•Avoid extreme temperaturechanges.

Seniors are also more like-ly to have a chronic medicalcondition that can affect the per-son’s ability to handle hot tem-peratures or changes in tem-peratures.

There are also some tipsfor older adults to follow, fur-nished by Home Instead Sen-ior Care:

• Keep a glass of water inevery room to quickly and eas-ily access fluids. Drink plentyof fluids, even if you don’tfeel thirsty.

• Wear short sleeves, light-weight rayons or cottons, andlight-colored clothing that re-flect the heat.

• Stay out of the sun duringthe hottest times of the day.Sunburn makes the job of heatdissipation that much moredifficult.

• Save household chores,particularly washing and dry-ing clothes and operating thedishwasher, for evenings, whenthe weather is cooler.

•Take a nap during high heattimes – between 3 and 5 p.m.in the afternoon – or find agood television program ormovie to watch.

• Keep the shades down andblinds pulled. Keeping a housetightly closed is more energy ef-ficient.

Their classmates in thescreening booths and on thedonor beds all have similar talesto tell as they gather to help oth-ers by donating the gift of life.Today is amid-summer rest stopbetween the flurry of vacationadventures and the eager antici-pation of a new school year.Sarah Hendrixon, a 16-year-

old Fairmont senior, has her 13-year-old sister Taylor to keepher company as she donates.“We’ve been to Kings Island

a lot!” she says. “I went to theCountry Concert – that wasridiculously hot!”But she is keeping her eye on

Aug. 14, the first day back atschool.“I’m excited to have my sen-

ior year and get out of here!College is next!”Nearby Alter senior Ben

Suttman is making his firstblood donation.Playing football and lacrosse

meant Ben often had to sit outthe CBC blood drives on cam-pus, but today’s challenge drivecomes well before the start offootball camp.Ben, a tight end, was voted

one of the captains of this year’sKnights team and he hopes toattend at Notre Dame. Likeeveryone at Alter, he has highexpectations for another statechampionship year.“We’ve got to go for it,” he

said. “But we’ve got to get weekone – Fairmont – of course.”Ironically, at this point in the

challenge drive, Fairmont is inthe lead.“I’ll have to call some

friends!” Ben said.The drive is indeed a friendly

rivalry.Alter senior Sarah Wood

chats with Fairmont grad JoeBarton, who said, “I’ll be goingback to Miami (University) inabout a month. It will be fun!”Sarah said she’s “in denial”

about how fast summer is mov-ing, but is excited about her sen-ior year.“I run cross country,” she said

(another state championshipteam at Alter), “and I’m excitedabout my last year with every-one I grew up with. And thefootball games! Hopefully we’lldo great this year!”Madison Koebke is a

Fairmont grad who makes acasual, cool fashion statementalong with her 5th lifetimedonation. (She appreciates thespecial blue 5 LTD t-shirtreceives, along with fellow 5

LTD donor Joe Barton – but herfashion sense goes beyond freetees).“Summer has been busy,” she

said. “I’ve been doing a lot oftraveling and going to musicfestivals.”When she finishes business

classes at Sinclair she wants toattend Columbia CollegeChicago for fashion design.Fashion is not her only passion.Chicago, she says, is herfavorite city.Back at the Donor CaféAlter

seniors Abby Rogers and AndieSchroeder relax with donutholes and cookies. They’re vol-leyball teammates - yes, yetanother Alter state champi-onship team! - and that has keptthem busy this summer.

“We play volleyball at Alterat the summer open gyms,”Abby said. “We just got backfrom a volleyball camp. There’sanother camp and volleyballtournament next week.”They have high hopes for

another great season.Abby said the senior trip to

Washington, DC will be fun.After high school Abby is look-ing at a career in nursing andAndie is interested in zoology.All the young donors at the

challenge drive have dreamsand ambitions. They all cherishtheir friendships, families andfun. And with this mid-summerpause to donate, they’re keepingthe same hopes and dreamsalive for someone, somewherewho depends on their gift.

Pension plangroundworkneeds to be laid

For years, administrators of the fiveprograms that provide retirement benefitsfor public employees in Ohio have beenbegging state legislators to do somethingabout unfunded liabilities. Meanwhile,the debt continues to grow.

At last count, the five pension systemshad a combined unfunded liability ofabout $66 billion. Only about two-thirdsof the benefits they were pledged to pro-vide were covered financially. …

Some progress has been achieved indealing with the liabilities. But legislatorsneed to give the five retirement boardsmore flexibility to keep the programs sol-vent.

That may mean requiring publicemployees to pay more of the cost offunding pensions and covering retirees’health care costs. It also may require newlimits on benefits such as health insur-ance. …

But changes have to be made, or theprograms at some point will be insolvent— or will have to turn to Buckeye Statetaxpayers for massive bailouts.

Some legislators have expressed reluc-tance to tackle the issue this summer.That is because many of them are up forre-election this fall, of course. But thegroundwork for action needs to be laidnow — and steps to clear up the messshould begin no later than November.

This newspaper is environmentally friendly. Itis printed in recycled fibers and soy-basedinks, with the exception of some supplements.

When an icon doesn’t live up to hispersona, it’s difficult to take for manywho worship that person.

Ohio State’s had it happen twice —30 years ago when Woody Hayes,perhaps the most beloved Buckeye ofall time, punched Clemson’s CharlieBauman near the end of the and wasfired before the plane bringing theteam back from the Gator Bowl land-ed in Columbus, and again more re-cent when JimTressel stepped downas a result of an investigation of mis-conduct of some of his players whotraded Buckeye memorabilia for tat-toos and other miscreant acts.

I’m sure those in HappyValleynever thought the little guy with theCoke bottle glasses would ever havehis image tarnished. But tarnished it is— and I’m not sure any amount ofsilver polish will clean up this mess.

Joe Paterno, the former Penn Statehead football coach who was firedwith a couple weeks left in the 2011season and passed away in January ofthis year, a victim of lung cancer, wasnamed often in a report requested bythe university and performed by for-mer FBI chief Louis Freeh, into thechild molestation case involving for-mer Penn State assistant Jerry San-dusky.

In the July 12 announcement ofFreeh’s findings, it stated that therewas a “total disregard for the safetyand welfare of Sandusky’s child vic-

tims by the most senior leaders atPenn State.” It went on to say thatthose men, basically meaning formercollege president Graham Spanier,former vice president Gary Schultz,athletic directorTim Curley and Pater-no, failed to take any steps in 14 yearsto protect the children Sandusky vic-timized until after Sandusky was ar-rested.

It goes on to stay that those incharge actually seemed to go out oftheir way to hinder any notification ofany crime.The report states that thosefour gave reasons for not taking ac-tion to report Sandusky to the policeor child welfare, including that the hu-mane thing to do in 2001 was “tocarefully and responsibly assess thebest way to handle vague but trou-bling allegations.”

I can buy that part of their reason-ing, if their reasoning was for the kidsand for Sandusky, and not for the uni-versity itself.

Paterno is quoted as saying “Ididn’t know exactly how to handle it

and I was afraid to do something thatmight jeopardize what the universityprocedure was. So I backed away andturned it over to some other people,people I thought would have a littlemore expertise than I did. It didn’twork out that way.”

What kind of expertise do youneed? Paterno was a father. I’m a fa-ther. If I hear of someone in an organi-zation molesting children, I’m not go-ing to “back away” because of “pro-cedure.” Even if the person involvedis a friend, don’t you go and say “whatthe heck are you doing?”

I sure am not going to keep thatperson around, especially when hewas still bringing teen and preteenboys to the facility.

The report states the obvious.ThatSpanier, Schultz, Paterno and Curleyrepeatedly concealed the facts relatingto the child abuse case. It also statesthat the four knew of the 1998 crimi-nal investigation of Sandusky and ayoung boy in a Penn State footballlocker room shower and, again,showed no concern or take any action.

How many boys would’ve beenspared if these four men of powerwould’ve acted when they first had achance?

After the Ohio State fiasco of2011, many called for that footballprogram to receive the “death penal-ty,” calling for the school to be bannedfrom competing for at least one year.

Their reasons? Lack of institutionalcontrol.

Is the Penn State situation not a to-tal example of lack of institutionalcontrol? I believe it is.This greatlyoutdistances any program who mayhave had players take money from abooster or, as with the Ohio Statecase, sell some gold pants players re-ceived for defeating Michigan.

It is understandable that the Pater-no family is planning to have its owninvestigation.A story in the USATo-day stated that the family is “not hap-py” with the results of the Freeh re-port.

Really?They’re not happy that thereport said JoePa was negligent?

I’m also sure that the Paterno in-vestigation will have Joe coming outsmelling like a rose. But the facts arethe facts. How one spins a fact doesn’tchange the fact, itself.

Woody Hayes went out throwing apunch.The icon status of Joe Paternowent out with a punch to the gut fromthe knowledge that Penn State’s “hon-or before all” doctrine wasn’t quitetrue.

It just shows why we shouldn’tmake people into more than they are.They’re not icons.They’re footballcoaches, politicians, the guy down thestreet.

My mother always said “There wasonly one person who was perfect andthey killed him.”

TimesEditor

They should’ve called someone

Put aside all the yapping about theSupreme Court’s Obamacare decisionand all the learned discussions about theconnected constitutional questions. Theplain fact remains that health care costsare one of the major drivers of our enti-tlement limousine heading toward thefiscal cliff of no return.

I’m one of the lucky ones who haverather enjoyed the ride so far. It’s ourchildren and grandchildren who will behurt in the crash and should be shouting“Stop!” Some of them are – but notenough.

The U.S. health care situation is com-plex and I make no claim to understand-ing all its ins and outs. But a big help insorting out the puzzle has been Leslie V.Norwalk who grew up across the streetin Oakwood. She’s one of TomNorwalk’s daughters, went toWashington and national politics, prac-ticed law there and was acting adminis-trator in the Bush II administration forthe Centers for Medicare & MedicaidServices where she managed day-to-dayoperations of Medicare, Medicaid, statechild health insurance programs, the sur-vey and certification of health care facil-ities, and other federal health care initia-tives.

Catch your breath yet? All of that sug-gests that Washington is and has been fartoo involved in our health system.

Oversight is one thing, but the tempta-tion to micromanage is always irre-sistible and the Affordable Care Act(Obamacare) is that several times over.To her credit, Ms. Norwalk from herbureaucratic catbird seat preached bring-ing federal costs (a mere $674 billion inthe 2008 budget) under control. In aForbes Magazine article in 2006 shenoted how dysfunctional many aspectsof Medicare and Medicaid are and theircurrent rate of growth “is the biggestchallenge the country faces.”

Her most recent analysis shows thatall national health care costs are 17% ofthe gross domestic product, and rising.We are already seeing that defensespending (i.e. national security) facesdramatic cutbacks because of this.Obviously we’ve needed reform for along time, but Obamacare definitely isnot it. Its 2000-plus pages add new lev-els of bureaucracy, regulations and fees(now called taxes, the Supremes say)

onto an already cumbersome system ofhealth care that does a pretty good job ina significantly inefficient way.

Reform to control costs has to startwith getting government out of the way.Letting insurers design their own poli-cies and market them across state lineswould give consumers all kinds ofoptions.

The market, not the government,would provide a greater coverage incen-tive than any mandate. Add tax reform toreduce employer-sponsored health insur-ance’s tax advantages in favor of payingemployees to choose their own coverage.

There’s a great deal more to reform,but the bottom line is having consumersshoulder more of the care costs so thatcaregivers would have an incentive tocompete on the basis of cost and qualityof service. There are already stories cir-culating about Medicare patients whofind that cash payments for proceduresare far less than what Medicare would bebilled.

Another key point in the discussionsis Rep. Paul Ryan’s plan to implementreform gradually so that those in the sys-tem now can stay undisturbed (grandfa-thered is the appropriate term). Thatmeans reform getting us away from thefiscal cliff will take two, three, or morepresidential terms.

Will we begin this November?

The reform of health caremeans shrinking government

Severe weather bringsout best in Red Cross

and communityEditor

First the March tornadoes. Then, a dramaticJune storm that caused unexpected power outagesand oppressive heat.At times like these the publichears a lot about theAmerican Red Cross in actionproviding shelters, cooling centers and water.

While these actions may seem like quick spon-taneous responses they are actually months in themaking and show our community at its best.

Last year leaders at the DaytonArea Red CrossChapter conducted almost four hundred- yes, 400-meetings with government agencies, communitybased organizations and citizen groups. Of thosean estimated four out of five were proactive tospecifically focus on disaster planning:What hap-pens when the storms hit? How will communica-tions flow? What can we expect of each other?

The Red Cross response to the tornadoes inMarch and its ability to serve the community sowell after the recent storm is a testament to all ourpartners, including donors who give us the neces-sary funds not only to be there when called but toknow what to do! It also underscores the value ofthe Red Cross regional structure, where the entirevolunteer base and material resources of the thirtysix-county Greater Cincinnati-Dayton Region canmobilize at a moment’s notice.

As we continue to deal with unpredictableweather, our Chapter wants to thank all who workwith us- including our army of 900 plus volun-teers- to handle life’s emergencies. As famousbroadcaster Paul Harvey used to say: “Now youknow the rest of the story.”

CSI moving Ohio forwardOne of Ohio Governor John Kasich and Lt. Governor Mary

Taylor’s top initiatives is the Common Sense Initiative.The goal of the Common Sense Initiative will review Ohio’s

regulatory system to eliminate excessive and duplicative rules thatstand in the way of job creation in Ohio. CSI Ohio was launchedon January 10, 2011 to reform our state’s regulatory policies. Theadministration’s goal is to make Ohio a jobs and business-friendlystate due to exces-sive, duplicativeand costly businessregulations that putOhioans out ofwork.

In the CSI: OhioCutting Red Tape,Creating Jobs re-port released inFebruary, focuseson the startup ofCSI, its roadmap and the 2011 accomplishments.

To start CSI’s primary mission Ohio had to set up legal authorityfor CSI, get an operational CSI office, consolidate regulatory re-form efforts into one office, and establish a small business adviso-ry council.

The primary principles guiding the CSI effort are:1) State regulations should facilitate, not hinder, economic

growth;2) State regulations should be transparent and responsive;3) Compliance should be as easy and inexpensive as possible; 4)

State regulations should be enforced fairly and consistently.Two examples 2011 CSI accomplishments cited in the report in-

clude reforming the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation:Under the review, CSI saved Ohio’s private employers $65 mil-

lion in premiums by reducing average base rates by 4 percent; re-duced Public Employer rates by 5 percent - saving local govern-ments $22 million a year; saved an additional $80 million by re-ducing Ohio budget by 12 percent over the next biennium; and cre-ated the Grow Ohio Program to help boost economic development.

Reforming the workers’compensation included saving new em-ployers up to 53 percent on workers’compensation premiums bychoosing to:

• Take a 25 percent premium discount for two years, or• Waive the waiting period and immediately join a group rating

program, which can reduce their premium up to 53 percent.The CSI: Ohio effort is great news for the business community

and the citizens of Ohio. Part of attracting business and developingbusiness is a great state regulatory atmosphere that will foster busi-ness. CSI is working in the right direction in making Ohio a leaderin the Midwest for attracting business.

Back to school...at homeI remember it was a very hot summer day, much like the ones we are experi-

encing now. It was sometime in the mid 1990s. I had been out in the heat muchof the day and needed air conditioning and a cold drink.

I found both.After sipping the ice cold water and get-

ting comfortable in my seat I tuned out allaround me and the next thing I knew it wastime to head back out into the oven. I sup-pose the only bad thing about my siestawas that it happened during a very boring,but mandatory, continuing education classfor real estate sales. I hope I didn’t snore.

I have been a licensed real estate agentsince 1992. I am still licensed but I haven’tbeen practicing since 1999. I do keep up on real estate trends and practices justin case I get the urge again. I loved real estate sales. And most of the continuingeducation classes were not as boring as the one I slept through, but they were al-ways inconvenient. I had to block out three hours (plus travel time) here, or fourhours there and was locked into that classroom for the entire time. If I missedsomething the instructor covered, that was just too bad. I needed some way totake my thirty hours, every three years, do it when it was convenient for me andactually get something out of spending my time in the class. Well, I found it thisgo-around for my license renewal. I had wondered for some time just how com-prehensive, well-planned and convenient education on line would be. I discov-ered that a real estate salesperson could take some, or their entire CE block online. I checked online for the best reviewed, most affordable, asked former col-leagues and ended up with McKissock Professional Education. McKissock of-fers a multitude of online courses for real estate professionals. But would I reallylearn from the classes I took on my computer? You see, some folks in careers re-quiring continuing education just go through the motions. I have always valuedmy time and wanted whatever I do to be more than just spinning my wheels.

I loved it! I could go through the classes at my own pace. I could go back overmaterial that I thought was especially important and deserved another look. I did-n’t have to listen to self-aggrandizement of instructors in a classroom, or heartheir same bad jokes over and over again. I could work a little on a course aftersupper and pick it up again after watching “Letterman” (without getting dressed).The courses were set up by highly trained and skilled pros who know the busi-ness and the course layout seriously makes you feel it was set up just for you.

I can’t speak for all online university or continuing education courses. But Ican tell you that at least for my profession, McKissock is the total package and I

Communication — within theteam, between driver and crew chief, en-gineer and crew chief — makes more ofa difference at Indy than anywhere else.You can’t take chances there in terms ofstrategy.

! A date has been set to test AJ Allmendinger’s“B” sample following his failed random drug testprior to the July Daytona race weekend.Allmendinger’s business manager, Tara Ragan, released in astatement that, “We now have a confirmed date for the testingof AJ’s ‘B’ (split specimen) sample. The test will take place onTuesday, July 24 at 8:00 a.m. CDT and be conducted at theAegis Analytical Laboratories in Nashville.”A NASCAR statement indicated that the date was selected byAllmendinger. According to an ESPN report, Allmendinger’s “B”sample test is expected to be complete by the Brickyard 400.

! Roush Fenway Racing announced on Tuesdaythat Bob Osborne has stepped down as Carl Ed-wards’ crew chief on the No. 99 team.

New crew chief Chad Norris has been with Roush since 2005,when he scored his first win, a Nationwide Series victory, inhis fifth race as crew chief for Matt Kenseth. He’s led the com-pany’s research and development test program since last year.Norris most recently oversaw wins in the Nationwide Seriesfor Marcos Ambrose and Trevor Bayne in 2011.Osborne will remain with the organization as a senior member ofthe organization's management team and steering committee.

Indianapolis Motor SpeedwayThe first Saturday in August 1995

was a wet one in Indianapolis. The startof the second Brickyard 400 was de-layed over four hours as rain movedthrough the area and crews worked todry the track. As a result, ABC signedoff, planning to air the race the follow-ing day.

Therefore, most fans never saw JeffGordon lead the field to green at 4:30p.m. Gordon led the first 31 laps, whileBill Elliott and Rusty Wallace swappedthe point throughout the majority of therace.

The event witnessed only one cautionperiod, but it was a costly one for Wal-lace, who lost the lead in the pits with30 laps to go, handing it to Dale Earn-hardt. The Intimidator never lookedback, leading the final 24 green-flaglaps to score his first and only win onthe Big Track.

Classic Moments

Looking at Checkers: No one appreciatesIndy more than Tony Stewart. He alwaysbrings something extra.Pretty Solid Pick: Jeff Gordon’s four Indywins are the most in NASCAR’s 18 visits tothe historic track.Good Sleeper Pick:Mark Martin has 11top 10s in 18 Brick-yard races.Runs on SevenCylinders: MartinTruex Jr. has zero top10s in seven IMSstarts.Insider Tip: It takesthe total package towin at Indy. Stickwith the big guns.

Matt Kenseth and crew chief Jimmy Fennig.

1. Jimmie Johnson A Daytona crash is the only blemish on Johnson’s stat sheet since mid-May. Indianapolis is typically the event that Johnson, Chad Knaus & crew use as a jumping off point for the Chase.

2. Dale Earnhardt Jr. According to Junior PR guru Mike Davis, Earnhardt has completed the first 5,488 laps this season, a record in NASCAR’s Modern Era. He also has 20 consecutive lead lap finishes, dating back to 2011.

3. Matt Kenseth No flashy stats for Kenseth, just a stream of steadiness for the points leader. His 13th at Loudon, along with a 13th at Sonoma, are his worst showings since a 16th way back in March.

4. Tony Stewart Stewart, Denny Hamlin and Brad Keselowski are closing the gap on the Big Three of Johnson, Earnhardt and Keselowski, although Smoke’s Loudon performance was disappointing after winning there last year.

5. Denny Hamlin “Hit or Miss” Hamlin was a hit on Sunday, despite falling short in the end due to miscommunication with the crew chief. Hamlin’s last six races: Three top 5s, three finishes of 25th or worse.

6. Brad Keselowski May deserve to be higher on the list, as BK and the boys appear to be gaining steam — which says something since they’re already weekly contenders.

7. Kasey Kahne Was Sunday’s win what we’ll look back on as his Chase-clinching run? Impossible to say, but suddenly, the heat is turned up on about five drivers clawing for a wild card slot in the Chase.

8. Greg Biffle His ninth-place finish in New Hampshire led the Roush Fenway contingent — odd in that the “Fenway” in the race team’s name is the same associated with a certain New England sports franchise.

By MATT TALIAFERROAthlon Sports Racing Editor

NASCAR’s Chase for the Cham-pionship wild card hunt took a de-finitive turn at the 1.058-mile NewHampshire Motor Speedway onSunday.

Denny Hamlin and his No. 11 JoeGibbs Racing team dominated theLENOX Industrial Tools 301, lead-ing 150 laps. However, miscommu-nication during the final round of pitstops on lap 235 of 301 betweenKahne and crew chief Darian Grubbdropped their Toyota from first to14th.

At issue was their decision to taketwo or four tires under caution. Ham-lin’s team put four tires on, while themajority of the leaders only tooktwo. The time lost in the pits handedthe lead to Kasey Kahne, who led thefinal 66 laps — the only laps he ledall day — en route to his second winof the season.

Hamlin staged an epic run throughthe field in the closing laps, butcame up shy, finishing second.

“If he (Hamlin) was to keep thetrack position, I never would havepassed him,” Kahne said. “For himto be on four tires and us on two, hewas catching us pretty fast. (It’s) justwhat they chose to do. Somebodysaid they said something about tires— they took four, he meant two —I don’t know how it happened.

“We had great luck today. Forthose guys to miscommunicate, thathelped us a ton. I’ll take ’em anyway we can.”

Hamlin later explained the crux ofthe problem.

“When the caution flies, when pitroad opens, that time is so small,your time to communicate, figureout what you're going to do, you re-ally have about 45 seconds to get it.

“What happened was Darianasked me, he said how much of thetires he felt like I used up. I said Ifelt like I used them up a substantialamount. So my information to himwas, ‘Yeah, I’ve used up the tires.’He said, ‘I think two is the call.’ I

said, ‘OK, just give me tires and noadjustments.’

“He took that as I meant four tires.So it’s just that small miscommuni-cation just messed us up a little bit.”

The miscue may have very little in-fluence on Hamlin’s playoff posi-tioning with seven races left in theCup Series’ regular season. He sitsfifth in the standings, with a 61-pointcushion over 11th place. His twowins also provide a nice insurancepolicy, as the final two spots in theChase are awarded to drivers withthe most wins not already qualified.

Meanwhile, Kahne’s victory maybe the turning point in his quest for aChase appearance. Ranked 16th witha single win entering the New Hamp-shire race, Kahne vaulted up thestandings to 12th by day’s end. Fur-ther, his two victories currently findhim with the No. 1 wild card slot.

Kyle Busch (13th in the stand-ings), Ryan Newman (14th) andJoey Logano (16th) all have a singlewin, as well.

“I think three (wins) would putyou in a real good spot,” Kahne said

of making the Chase. “Two helps,but three would put you in a realgood spot. We’re going to stay afterit. We have some really good trackscoming up. I like my car a lot, so Ithink we’ll be in good shape.”

Carl Edwards sits 11th in the pointstandings but has yet to win this sea-son. At 46 points behind 10th-placeBrad Keselowski, it would seem atleast one victory is needed for lastseason’s championship runner-up totransfer into the playoffs. He fin-ished 18th in Loudon.

He’ll go about getting those winswith a new crew chief, as RoushFenway Racing has announced thatBob Osborne has stepped awayfrom the role he’s held since the startof the 2007 season.

“I cannot say enough good thingsabout Bob Osborne,” Edwards said.“I’m so thankful for what he’s donefor me as a driver, and he is withouta doubt one of the smartest guys inthe sport. I’m also appreciative ofthe fact that he’ll continue to be a re-source for me and our team as wefocus on these final races.”

ASP, Inc.Kasey Kahne celebrates in Victory Lane at New Hampshire Motor Speedway after winningthe LENOX Industrial Tools 301.

Kasey Kahne wins second event of 2012,leads wild card race.

Making a “Kase” for the ChaseSEASON OF STREAKS Kasey Kahnehas had a weird season, although heappears to be striding toward aChase birth. His first six races nettedhim an average finish of 28.5. He av-eraged a 6.0-place run in races 7-13,then dipped from races 14-16 to thetune of a 25.3-place finish. His lastthree starts have witnessed an aver-age finishing position of 3.3.FEAST OR FAMINE Unlike Kahne’sstreaky tendencies, Denny Hamlin’sresults have been either really goodor really bad on raceday. Hamlin hasnine top-5 finishes (two wins), offsetby six finishes outside the top 20through 19 events. Five of his top-5showings have been either first- orsecond-place finishes.DRUG FREE ZONE On the subject ofAJ Allmendinger failing a randomdrug test, Brad Keselowski took thedrug/supplement discussion to an-other level, saying, “It’s my personalbelief that nothing should be allowed— nothing. I don’t feel like youshould be able to take Flintstone (vit-amin) pills. I think it’s a bunch of bullthat you’re allowed to take supple-ments or any of those things. I don’tthink that’s right. I don’t think anyathlete should be allowed to takethat, but that’s my personal belief.”UN“HAPPY” HARVICK Brad Ke-selowski won the Nationwide Seriesrace at New Hampshire on Saturdayafter Kevin Harvick was slowed bylap traffic while leading with 22 lapsto go. Harvick expressed his frustra-tion with the slow car of Amber Cope— down 32 laps at the time — say-ing, “It’s somebody who shouldn’t beon the race track and has no cluewhat they’re doing in a racecar. Shewants to be Danica Patrick, but shecan’t hold her helmet.”

‘Friendly’ neighbors battle in 7-on-7By SHAWN BAUMANTimes sports editor

[email protected] — The

Fairmont and Oakwood HighSchool football programs mightbe the closest thing there is to afriendly rivalry on the gridironand the two squads renewed thaton Monday night in a 7-on-7battle at Kettering’s RoushStadium. Separated by two divi-sions in the Ohio High SchoolAthletic Association’s enroll-ment breakdown but by justover two miles down StateRoute 48, the teams battled the90-plus degree heat on the turfto get in some valuable summerrepetitions.

“I know some people say that7-on-7’s aren’t realistic and thatmay be true, but it gives you theopportunity to time some routeson offense against someone elseand also to learn to make adjust-ments on defense,” saidOakwood head coach RickRobertson. “We are trying toaccomplish some specificthings and most importantlycome out healthy.”

“I think in all these early 7-on-7’s you just try to build onthe things you have beenpreaching all offseason, likeassignments, technique andtrusting one another,” saidFairmont head coach AndyAracri. “The biggest thing is tojust compete against a differentjersey and a different color hel-met and do everything you canto maximize these opportuni-ties.”

With Robertson havingserved as the former head coachat Fairmont, the two staffs areobviously familiar with eachother. That coupled with theclose proximity of the twoschools and the summer scrim-mage is annually an easy fit.

“I think there are a handful ofkids that know each other andthere are some coaches hereincluding myself that knowCoach Robertson really well,”added Aracri. “I think thatmakes organizing this each yearand working together out here alot easier. We enjoy having themcome over and I think bothteams take a lot away from it.”

“We are not as big and not asfast as Fairmont so we have totake some of this with a grain ofsalt, but we consider this to begood for us,” said Robertson.“Fairmont is doing us a favor byinviting us here and we are veryappreciative of that. This is agreat experience for our kids.”

The friendly rivalry will cer-tainly be tested in early Augustwhen the two schools suit up infull pads as they will battle ineach team’s opener of threescrimmages.

Photos by Shawn BaumanFairmont and Oakwood renewed their annual 7-on-7 summer rivalry last Monday

night when the two schools took to the turf at Roush Stadium in Kettering.
