theft in office, allegewrongdoing by Lenhart,and told the SidneyDaily News he is beingassisted in his efforts byKimpel. Kimpel was sen-tenced on a felony countof unauthorized use of acomputer or a telecom-munications device onJune 8. He is currentlyserving two years proba-tion.Lescowitch claimed

Lenhart is not certifiedor qualified to serve assheriff because he hadnot served as a law en-forcement officer overthe last four years as re-quired by the Ohio Re-vised Code (ORC). Healso alleged thatLenhart committed theftin office by using whathe said was the county’spodium and other equip-ment when he an-nounced he was runningfor office while standingon the courthouse steps.He also said Lenhart hascommitted other of-fenses.The Daily News has

learned, however, thatthe podium was ownedby the Lenhart familyand other equipmentwas supplied by friendsand was not countyproperty.Lescowitch said he

and Kimpel had eachbeen “screwed over.” He

said Kimpel has beenproviding him with“moral support” and hasalso offered him legal as-sistance.“John and I have had

issues in the past,” Le-scowitch said. “This ispersonal.”Lescowitch said Kim-

pel told him “the publicneeds to know” thatLenhart is allegedly notqualified to be sheriff,and encouraged Lescow-itch to go to the media.Lescowitch said he

found copies of Lenhart’sofficial documents to runfor sheriff in his mailbox“with a note” telling himto do something with it.Shelby County Board ofElections Director DawnBilling confirmed thatKimpel had picked upcopies of the documentsat the election board of-fice.Lescowitch said he

and Kimpel have beenspending time together,noting that he goes to hishome to visit and theytalk about issues, includ-ing Lenhart’s candidacy.According to Lescow-

itch, a candidates forsheriff must be a policeofficer for four years. Hesaid Lenhart’s previousjob in the Ohio AttorneyGeneral’s (AG) office wasnot a police officer job.“That was a public re-

lations position,” Le-scowitch said. “He wasn’tunder law enforcement.”The Daily News has

ascertained thatLenhart was indeed in alaw enforcement posi-tion while working forthe AG and was chargedwith overseeing the OhioBureau of Criminal In-vestigation, the Organ-ized Crime Unit andother areas of law en-forcement for the state.During that time he wasa sworn law enforcementofficer, with all of the re-sponsibilities and au-thority associated withthe job.Lescowitch said while

he did not go to electionsboard members directlyabout the issue, “some-one else did.” He de-clined to name thatperson, however.Lescowitch said he

did go to Evans to askfor his help, which Evansconfirmed.“I didn’t know

whether Mike was justbeing vengeful or some-thing like that ... youcould understand ... be-cause he got arrested,”Evans said.Evans said he re-

FORMER PRESIDENT Bill Clinton speaks during a cam-paign rally in support of President Barack Obama, Thurs-day at the John S. Knight Center in Akron.

BY JOHN SEEWERAssociated Press

PERRYSBURG (AP) — For-mer President Bill Clintonjoined a chorus of Democratswho are blasting Mitt Romneyover campaign ads that claimGeneral Motors and Chryslerare adding jobs in China at theexpense of Ohio.Clinton, campaigning for

President Barack Obamaacross the all-important stateof Ohio on Thursday, saidRomney’s response to the crit-icism from the automakershas been to pour money intoads that he knows are false.“That should be all you

need to know,” Clinton said ata rally just outside Toledo,where Chrysler operates twofactories and plans to add1,100 jobs at its assemblyplant.Romney’s presidential cam-

paign has fought back againstcriticism from Democrats andthe automakers, arguing thatthe ads are accurate. The adsrepeat a version of Romney’sclaim at a rally in Ohio lastweek that Chrysler is movingJeep production to China.Chrysler insists that no jobsare being moved.A new radio spot airing in

the Toledo area on Thursdaysaid Romney, not Obama, wasmore supportive of the auto in-dustry. “Mitt Romney, he’llstand up for the auto industry

in Ohio, not China,” the adsaid.Vice President Joe Biden a

day earlier called the ads fla-grantly dishonest. Romney op-posed the 2009 governmentbailout of GM and Chrysler,which Obama championed.Romney spokesman Chris

Maloney said Thursday thattaxpayers stand to lose $25 bil-lion over Obama’s handling ofthe bailout.“The criticism proves that

partisan allies are not inter-ested in engaging in a meaning-ful conversation about theObama administration’s failedrecord during the last week ofthe campaign,” Maloney said.Republican vice presidential

candidate Paul Ryan said GMand Chrysler are expandingtheir production overseas.“These are facts that voters de-serve to know as they listen tothe claims President Obamaand his campaign are making.”The auto bailout and its im-

pact in Ohio is shaping up to beone of the defining issues in thepresidential campaign in Ohio,a state every Republican haswon on the way to the WhiteHouse.Backers of the bailout say one

in eight jobs in Ohio can belinked to the auto industry,which includes both factoryworkers and those who sell gro-ceries to plant employees.All the Detroit automakers

have a big presence in the state,

especially in the northern halfwhere Obama is counting on abig turnout from union house-holds. TheToledo area alone hastwo Chrysler plants, a GM fac-tory and dozens of supplier op-erations.Clinton started his day in

Wisconsin and will make threespeeches in Ohio before going onto Florida for a slew of rallies.He apologized for his raspy voiceand corrected himself after say-ing he was honored to be inPennsylvania.His harsh words about the

GOP presidential hopeful strucka much different tone than hisremarks at a rally two weeksago near Cleveland where hebarely mentioned Romney.But with only a few days left

in the campaign, the formerpresident has sharpened hisspeeches.He said Romney’s pre-diction that he’ll create 12 mil-lion jobs if elected is based onwhat will happen because ofpolicies Obama already has inplace.“His argument is youmust be

disappointed so put me in so Ican claim credit for these jobs Ihad nothing to do with it,” hesaid.Romney’s plan to cut taxes

will come at the expense ofhealth care for the poor and af-fordable loans for college stu-dents, Clinton said.“I just don’t think it works,”

he said. “We have tried it be-fore.”

WASHINGTON (AP)—A flurry of dataissued Thursday sketched a brighteningview of the U.S. economy in the final daysbefore a presidential election thatwill pivoton the strength of the recovery.Cheaper gas, rising home prices and

lower unemployment have given con-sumers the confidence to spend more. Andretailers, auto dealers and manufacturersare benefiting.At the same time, many employers re-

main anxious about the economy, which iswhy only modest hiring gains are forecast

for Friday’s jobs report for October. It willbe the lastmajor report on the economy be-fore Election Day.Both presidential candidates pressed

their arguments Thursday for why Presi-dent Barack Obama’s economic steward-ship should or should not earnhimanotherfour-year term. Campaigning in Roanoke,Va., Mitt Romney argued that underObama, household incomes have fallen be-hind inflation and poverty has worsened.Obama, in a speech in Green Bay,Wis.,

contended that Romney’s proposals are the

same “top-down policies that crashed oureconomy.” The president said his own eco-nomic approach was similar to Bill Clin-ton’s in the 1990s, when the U.S. economygenerated tens of millions of jobs and in-comes surged.Economists think Friday’s jobs report

will show that the unemployment rate roseto 7.9 percent inOctober from7.8 percent inSeptember. Coming so close to the election,though, the most recent economic figuresaren’t expected to alter the outcome. Fewvoters are thought to still be undecided.

DOSWELL, Va. (AP) — Five days be-fore the election, Republican challengerMitt Romney and President BarackObama vied forcefully for the mantle ofchange Thursday in a country thirstingfor it after a painful recession and un-even recovery, pressing intense closingarguments in their unpredictably closerace for the White House. Early votingtopped 22 million ballots.Republicans launched a late push in

Pennsylvania, long viewed as safe forObama. The party announced a $3 mil-lion advertising campaign that told vot-ers who backed the president four yearsago, “it’s OK to make a change.” Romneyand running mate Paul Ryan both an-nounced weekend visits to the state.The Obama campaign was increasing

its ad buy in Pennsylvania following theRNC’s move, an aide said while declin-ing to cite how just much the campaignplanned to spend.A three-day lull that followed Super-

storm Sandy ended abruptly, the presi-dent campaigning briskly across threebattleground states and Romney pilingup three stops in a fourth. The Republi-can also attacked with a tough newSpanish-language television ad inFlorida showing Venezuela’s leftistleader, Hugo Chavez, and Raul Castro’sdaughter, Mariela, saying they wouldvote for Obama.The storm intruded once again into

the race, as New York Mayor MichaelBloomberg endorsed the president in astatement that said Sandy, which devas-tated his city, could be evidence of cli-mate change.Of the two White House rivals,

Bloomberg wrote, “One sees climatechange as an urgent problem thatthreatens our planet; one does not. Iwant our president to place scientific ev-idence and risk management above elec-toral politics.”The ever-present polls charted a close

Our sixyoungest chil-dren left forschool at 7 a.m.This is the thirdday now thatLoretta hastaken the regu-lar bus. She canmake it all dayat school with-out her wheel-chair; although,when she comeshome she is ready to rest.The handicapped bus hasbeen picking her up sinceher surgery six weeksago. Her braces will bereadyTuesday and that isalso when her therapy be-gins.

This has been anextra-busyweek.We havebeen painting the livingroom ceilings and walls.We moved all the furni-ture over to the diningarea. After all the paint-ing was done, we movedeverything back into theliving room, giving it athorough cleaning in theprocess. Sister Emma anddaughter Elizabeth as-sisted us with our work.Emma and I paintedwhile Susan and Eliza-beth washed all thedishes in my cupboard,cleaned furniture, andfloors. Now today Susanand Iwill work on puttingmore things back in placeincluding putting all thebooks back in my book-case. We had very niceweather to do the paint-ing. Temperatures werein the 70s and it was coldand rainy.The thermome-ter shows 45 degrees.Looks like today’s laun-dry will be hung on the

lines in the base-ment. We willwait to paint thedining room andkitchen until Ican get every-thing organizedagain.

Wednesdayevening, daugh-ter Elizabeth’spenpal, Sharon,fromDayton,Va.,along with her

parents, uncle, aunt andcousins, stopped in tomeet Elizabeth and all ofus. We had a nice visitwith them.They are read-ers of this column. It wasinteresting to talk andcompare our ways of life.They are Old Order Men-nonites and also havehorse and buggy as theirtransportation. Thosefamilies are dairy farm-ers. The children wereglad for the bucket ofmonster cookies that theybrought. Sharon’smother,Lucille, gaveme a rug shewove herself. It is verynice and I already have itat the front door. It will beuseful, as I use a lot ofrugs with this many feetgoing in and out everyday.

We are hoping to beable to go to Sugarcreek,Ohio, in the near future tovisit Joe’s Uncle Solomon.Solomon is in the hospitalafter breaking quite a fewbones after falling 11 feetat work. Our prayers arefor him to have a com-plete and speedy recovery.I would also like to visitAunt Lovina,whom Iwasnamed after. She also hada difficult summer, hav-ing a heart attack. She

had to have two stentsput in.Wewish her betterhealth in the future.

Joe’s uncle and aunt,John and Susie, have al-ways been kind to offer usa place to sleep when wecome to Ohio, so wemighttake them up on theiroffer. Joe has a sister,brother and more unclesand aunts living in thatarea, so hopefully we cansee everyone if our planswork out.

The firemen were atschool this week givingthe children lots of goodadvice about fires. SonKevin, 7, has been tellingall of us what we shoulddo if there is a fire.This isa good thing for childrento know but we just got alaugh out of how he wastrying to give us lessons.He said, “And don’t leavetoys laying on the stairs,”then he went over tocheck our stairs and sawone of his small toys lyingon the steps. He quicklypicked it up and stuffed itin his pocket, thinking wewouldn’t notice. His chat-ter has entertained usquite often.

TRAVEL HINTDear Heloise: I love

traveling, and to savemoney on my trips, I tryto use local transporta-tion, like subways, busesor trains, instead of tak-ing a taxi. I usually havea list of places I wouldlike to visit, so before Ileave, I map routes to andfrom. I look up bus ortrain schedules on the In-ternet, since most havewebsites.All you need arethe addresses of thestarting and ending loca-tions. You type in the in-formation, and themapping website will tellyou what bus or train youneed to take. It even in-cludes stops and trans-fers.

OPINION

To the editor:At 19 years old, this is my first presidential

election. I believe, as do many other Americans,that this is the most important election in history.I am aware that this has been said of almostevery presidential election, but this time it is dif-ferent. We stand at a crossroads in America. A “Y”in the road where we can choose freedom or freestuff. My future is in the hands of the Americanpeople and of the next president. The world iswatching to see if we will still be the hope of theearth or if they will have to find some other “cityof refuge.”In my mind there is only one man who will put

America and her people first, who will esteem theAmerican people with high enough regard to tellthe truth in all matters that will affect us or ourposterity. He will be a man humble enough to con-fess his mistakes and take measures to correctthem. He will not apologize for America or herGod-given rights to life, liberty or the pursuit ofhappiness. He will allow Americans to protectthemselves in the best way possible and stand forthose who cannot speak up — the aged, disabled,handicapped and the unborn. He will stand as afirm ally to Israel and he will not allow othercountries to bully America into compromising onher promises to this important nation. That manis Mitt Romney.I’m worried that other young people will not

understand the importance of this election or ourdemocratic process. I’m doing all that I can to getthe word out and I encourage others to do thesame. Participate in phone banking, neighborhoodcanvassing, surveys, and our local Liberty Group.Oh yeah, and don’t forget to vote for Mitt Romney,Paul Ryan, and Josh Mandel for Senate. Josh willfight for the people of Ohio and is not afraid tostand up for his values.“Shall we expect some transatlantic military

giant, to step over the ocean, and crush us at ablow? Never! At what point is the approach ofdanger expected? I answer, it must spring upamongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If de-struction be our lot, we must ourselves be its au-thor and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we mustlive through all time, or die by suicide.” — Abra-ham Lincoln

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To the editor:I have heard some individuals say that Gov.Mitt

Romney scares them. Some believe that if Romneywere to become president, he would take away thoseprograms that are beneficial to them and that wouldhelp them stay afloat in these hard economic times.They foresee drastic cuts to welfare,Medicaid,Medicare and Social Security that would leave themstranded and on their own, unable to keep theirstandard of living.They might fear that Romney would reduce the

availability of contraceptives.These fears are reason-able, considering the negative ads and unfoundedclaims made by those in the Obama administration,which are aimed at instilling fear.Yet, when you lookat Romney’s past record and what he repeatedlystates, a different picture is painted.As governor,Romney expanded health care coverage to individu-als in his state. He also has not made any statementin his policies that include barring the sale of contra-ceptives. He does support the right of employers todecide whether contraceptives should be covered inhealth insurance policies. By doing this, he wants toallow freedom of conscience to institutions such asreligious hospitals, but not prevent access to contra-ceptives. Mitt Romney’s policies repeatedly give backthe rights of our individual liberty and choice. Hishealth care policies give us freedom, unlike Obama’spolicies, which give us mandates: i.e. “Obamacare.”I understand the concern of those who are on as-

sistance programs, but I also understand that com-mon sense tells us that almost all politicalcandidates, no matter what their affiliation, wouldnot just throw disadvantaged or disabled people outinto the cold. I understand that Romney’s positionswould help people, not hurt them.He wants to createan economy that will give people more and better-paying jobs, so that they can move from those assis-tance programs to a brighter future.As some havesaid, this election comes down to those who want“freedom” or “free stuff.”A quote attributed toThomas Jefferson puts it clearly: “A government bigenough to supply everything you need, is a govern-ment big enough to take away everything that youhave.” You may not agree with all of Mitt Romney’spolicies (I don’t), but it is undeniable that he is aman of good character.Vote for freedom this Novem-ber.

To the editor:I urge Shelby County citizens to vote for John

Lenhart for sheriff in the coming election. Be-cause of the voluntary suspension and subsequentresignation of the previous sheriff, John wasasked to once again assume the duties of sheriff.After giving it some thought, he stepped up andaccepted the challenge. Since being appointedsheriff, he has brought stability to the office, es-tablished a good working relationship with otherlaw enforcement agencies, cut costs and institutednew programs that either save the county moneyor generate new revenue.Some of the areas the Sheriff's Office either

manages or supervises include: jail operations,road patrol, dispatch center, prisoner transport,court security, DARE program, animal shelter,work-release programs, serving warrants and civilpapers, home foreclosure sales, contracts withother agencies and businesses and a budget ofover $3.6 million. He also maintains a staff of 63personnel ensuring they carry out the above du-ties in an efficient and competent manner.Sheriff Lenhart has the experience, knowledge

and training to handle the above duties. He is aproven leader who has once again restored confi-dence in the office of sheriff of Shelby County.

To the editor:President Obama had a platform as president

from which to make a historic difference in the di-rection of America. He talked of hope and changeand vowed a total transparency of action. Hespoke eloquently of how he would bring peace andhealing, yet that’s not the reality of today nor atany time in the last four years.For whatever reason, he has failed to deliver on

the promises he made four years ago and there ismore division than ever in our country. The pastfour years have been hard on everyone and manywill never recover from lost wages, reduced retire-ment programs and home values or the loss ofhomes through foreclosure.We are already feeling the impact of Oba-

macare in increased premiums and reduced cover-age. There are many things wrong withObamacare and it must not be permitted to befully implemented. What is needed is a reason-able plan developed by both parties that will ben-efit Americans not hurt them as Obamacare willdo.Mitt Romney has proven he has the ability to

work with both political parties and create legis-lation that works for everyone as he did with theMassachusetts health care program.This will go down in history as one of the most

pivotal elections of our time.We are poised at theedge of a financial cliff never experienced before,and on Nov 6, America will decide between twovery different directions for its future. PresidentObama will have no incentive to curtail spendingand we can anticipate that increased bloat andexpansion of government in every facet of ourlives will continue.Mitt Romney has a track record clearly show-

ing his understanding of how to create and bal-ance budgets, how to work with people withdiffering viewpoints as he did in Massachusettsevidenced by the successful outcomes of thatstate. He believes that the states should havemore economic and social control of matters intheir states, which is exactly where our FoundingFathers placed it initially. And, who after all, isbetter able to decide what is best each state thanthe state and its people themselves?Mitt Romney is a talented, honest, ethical man

with impeccable personal integrity and compas-sion for people and he will make a great presidentand America needs a great president. Pleasethink carefully about the name are you going tochoose on Election Day.

To the editor:Ohio senators are responsible for representing

Ohio interests in Washington and that should beat the forefront of every decision they make andnot of advancing their party’s political agenda.Unfortunately, Ohio has not seen that kind of sup-port from Sen. Sherrod Brown. He was identifiedas the most liberal senator two years in a row andhis reckless voting record has crippled Americaand Ohio businesses and families alike.Even the U.S. Chamber of Commerce gave him

a measly 9 percent rating. Sherrod Brown has re-peatedly voted for bad legislation and votedagainst good. His voting record has made the na-tional debt problem worse and he supports anylegislation that involves more spending and moredebt resulting in more harm to American andOhio businesses and families.Sherrod is a career politician who has failed

America and Ohio and he needs to be sent home.Another six years of out-of-control spending sup-ported by Brown will surely end poorly for all ofus. Josh Mandel, the current state treasurer, isrunning for Brown’s Senate seat and has the qual-ifications and determination to stop the Washing-ton politics and start helping to get America andOhio on a better path. Please vote for Josh Man-del your vote on Nov. 6.

To the editor:Vote for Obama? When donkeys fly! His record:

abysmal. After blowing five trillion bucks, we’re inworse shape than before as we are experiencinghyper-inflation. He imposed Obamacare (uncon-stitutional), which is adversely affecting employ-ment as employers can afford to pay overtimethan to hire additional workers. How far from dic-tatorship is his abuse of executive?Foreign policy — what foreign policy?Illegal immigration: Ike handled it by sending

1,500 troops.Contempt for the Constitution: No, Mr. Presi-

dent, I do not belong to the government (as youmaintain); government should belong to me.Energy: If you believe wind is the answer, do

the math.Wildlife management estimates thatover 400,000 wildfowl have been killed by windturbines, an estimate arrived at two years ago, yettwo oil companies were fined $27 million for caus-ing the death of 27 waterfowl.Where is PETA? IfObama shuts down the coal-fired generatingplants, you’ll see high utilities.Employment: Yes, he put 10,000 back to work;

for the government at $100,000 to $200,000 ayear, probably to implement the 456 new regula-tions business has to cope with. This wouldn’t bean incentive for shipping jobs overseas would it?Nixon surrendered his presidency because of

Watergate, a crime less serious than OperationFast and Furious; at least no lives were lost be-cause of Watergate.When the subject of gun con-trol was brought up at the town hall debate andRomney asked the president what he could havebeen thinking, the subject was dropped. Thatleads me to question the neutrality of the modera-tor, another example of media bias.In my estimation, the biggest issue in the up-

coming election is ensuring freedom for our prog-eny. We have monuments in D.C. honoringthousands who died fighting communism and weelect a Marxist president. Birds of a feather flocktogether. Remember his meeting with Putin. Afterthe session was over and he thought the camerawas off, he told Putin, after I’m elected we’ll gettogether.Well the camera wasn’t off and the mes-sage was aired to the world.Those of you who blame Bush entirely for our

dilemma, chew on this awhile. In 2007, Democratsgained absolute control of both houses of Con-gress. Unemployment was 4.2 percent, bread was69 cents a loaf, a can of peas 29 cents, and gaso-line $2.28, etc.Lastly, he and Biden are the most arrogant

politicians I’ve ever seen; let’s get rid of them.Also, be sure to read the article by Tibor Jonas

Sr. that was in the Sidney paper Oct. 20.Carl Zimmerman

12222 Sidney-Freyburg Road

To the editor:Do we want four more years of Obama? We

have his past and present actions to look at. Debtdoesn’t bother him. Obamacare isn’t taking place,until after he gets a second term, why? Retiredpeople, being no longer productive in society, willhave their medical needs either delayed or notmet. Is this why he waited?Of the computer printouts I have read, two got

my attention on Obama. A man who attended col-lege with Obama said he was a devoted Muslim incollege. This doesn’t bother me. His study of so-cialism in college does. Two professors he namedoutlined a plan of how to do this to America. Thisbothers me. Get enough people depending on thethe government for their needs, and you have thestart of a socialist country. Then you proceed bygovernment action to take over everything. Thegovernment owns it all in the end.The second set of papers outlines some of the

executive orders written by Obama. Now execu-tive orders are used in a national emergency suchas an attack on the country, to get action started,until Congress can convene and lay out a plan.When an emergency is declared, an executiveorder becomes the law of the land.There is a separate order written for of every-

thing, like all modes of transportation, communi-cation media, electrical power and all forms ofenergy, food and farms, civilians into workbrigades, relocate communities into public hous-ing, wage salaries, credit and the flow of money,and that when he declares an emergency, Con-gress can’t act for six months.The one that requires registration of everybody

into a national registry could achieve one thing.In the Bible it tells about buying and selling bythe mark of the beast. The computer is the beast,and if you have to be hand- or fingerprinted to beregistered, it is bad. Those little lines and markson your hand, put there by God, are now in thecomputer. They are now the mark of the beast.Don’t do it. The same goes for the retina of theeye.Now I don’t know if any or all of this is true,

but if only half of it is true, it is not good.I think it is best to vote for Romney.Let God be your guide when you vote.

ELECTION 2012 Sidney Daily News, November 2, 2012

The candidates haveresponded to questionssubmitted by the SidneyDaily News.

Why are you run-ning for office?

Jordan: Our countryis at a serious cross-roads. If Congress con-tinues to borrow andspend as it has for thepast few years, it willbankrupt our nation.Weneed to elect fiscal con-servatives to Congresswho will work to bal-ance the federal budgetand start paying downthe national debt. I haveintroduced more spend-ing cuts over the pastsix years than anymember of Congress. Ihave authored balancedbudgets and I developedthe “Cut, Cap and Bal-ance” plan, which wouldhave fundamentallychanged how Washing-ton spends. I have beenrecognized by taxpayerwatchdog groups as oneof the best spending cut-ters in Congress. I havedone this while provid-ing excellent con-stituent service andrunning one of the low-est-spending offices inall of Congress. I wouldbe honored to serve an-other term as congress-man and continue thisfight.

Kalla: “I’m runningbecause I want to re-duce the size of the fed-eral government. Isupport cutting 43 centson every dollar wespend. I support theFairTax. I support end-ing all undeclared warsand bringing our troopshome. I support mar-riage equality. I supportthe elimination of theDepartment of Educa-tion to return educationto the control of teach-ers, principals and par-ents. I support propertyrights as a means tokeep our air and waterclean. I support the re-peal of the AffordableCare Act, the PATRIOTAct, the NDAA, and HR347. I oppose any cen-sorship of the Internet.”

Slone: Because of allthe constant conflicts inCongress and the lack ofCongress to move thecountry ahead.

Why should voterselect you instead ofyour opponents?

Kalla: Voters shouldvote for me because Ithink I represent mostAmericans. I’m fiscallyresponsible and sociallytolerant. It’s a positionwithout contradictionbecause at the very corethey result from themost American idea for

government: limitedgovernment as estab-lished by the Constitu-tion.

Slone: Because thecurrent congressmanlacks the ability to com-promise to move thecountry forward and Ido. I have the trainingto resolve conflicts andbring people together. Ialso don’t owe my soulto Grover Norquist asthe current congress-man does.

Jordan: As men-tioned above, I stand upand fight for the taxpay-ers and families I repre-sent, whether it betoward a balancedbudget or other fiscallyresponsible measures toget the nation’s financesback on track. I have aproven track record offighting for spendingcuts, balanced budgets,and the “Cut, Cap andBalance” plan, all whilefocusing on constituentservice and running oneof the lowest-spendingoffices in all of Con-gress.

Americans cur-rently give Congressa very low approvalrating. What wouldyou do to remedythis?

Slone: I would startby finding others whoare interested in what isbest for the country andnot what is best forthemselves and the peo-ple who own them. Thenwe could start workingon the current problemsfacing us.

Jordan: Congressdeserves a low approvalrating for not steppingup to take the bold ac-tion necessary to fix fed-eral finances and getour economy back ontrack. Many in Congressthink we can continuedown the same troubledroad simply because“that’s the way thingshave always been donearound here.” But theproblems we face arereal, and we mustchange the ways ofWashington. For exam-ple, rather than simplyraising the debt ceilingas has always beendone, we need to put re-forms in place that willstop the overspending

from happening again.That’s why I came upwith the Cut, Cap andBalance plan that wouldcut spending now, cap itas a percentage of GDPmoving forward, andsend a balanced budgetamendment to thestates.

Kalla: Congresscould improve its imageby simply adoptingtransparency. Simplethings like giving thepeople a chance to readthe bills before votingon them, passing onelaw at a time, closingcongressional loopholeson insider trading, andstop voting for your ownpay increases. Once wecan actually see what’shappening, then we canstart working together.

What is the solu-tion to congressionaldeadlock that hasplagued Congress inrecent years?

Jordan: I wish theanswer were easy. Theanswer takes participa-tion by everyone. But Ibelieve the presidentcan lead the way in pro-moting bipartisan coop-eration amongCongress. There weresome bills that camethrough the House inthe past few years thatended up being incredi-bly partisan because ofthe way they were han-dled from the presidentand the Speaker of theHouse, namely the stim-ulus bill and the Afford-able Care Act.

Kalla: Congressionaldeadlock is a direct re-sult of Republicans andDemocrats using theirpower as elected offi-cials to play a politicalgame in Washington.The goal of the game isto stay in office. I’dchange that by introduc-ing a new player. Every-one would have toactually articulate whatthey are FOR ratherthan just saying theyare against the otherside.

Slone: What is thesolution to congres-sional deadlock that hasplagued Congress in re-cent years? ElectingCongresspeople whotruly want to work forthe people they repre-

sent and not their partydonors. Greed is killingour country.

Are you willing towork with membersof other political par-ties to pass legisla-tion? Why or whynot?

Kalla: Of course I’mwilling to work withmembers of other par-ties. I actually expectthat a Libertarian inWashington will helpbreak up the votingblocks of the other twoparties. Republicansand Democrats wouldbreak ranks with moreconfidence knowing thatthere is an alternativeto completely crossingover the aisle.

Slone: Yes, this amust if we are to moveforward. It is calledcompromising on the is-sues that are the bestfor all and not a selectfew.

Jordan: Yes, I workwith both Democratsand Republicans both incommittee and on thefloor. Both parties mustwork together for thegood of the country. Weshould not compromiseon principle, however,when it will result inbad policies for Amer-ica. We cannot keep bor-rowing like there is notomorrow, even if lead-ers of both parties wantto. We cannot keepusing tax dollars to bailout private-sector com-panies, even if there isbipartisan support to doso. We cannot keep tax-ing, spending, borrow-ing and regulating andexpect our economy togrow. So, I am happy towork with the otherside if it is good policyand makes sense forAmerica. I will not,however, compromisefor the sake of compro-mising.

What are the majordomestic issues fac-ing the United Statestoday and how wouldyou address them?

Slone: Jobs and edu-cation, both have to bediscussed together, onegoes with the other. Wemust make sure that weeducate all of our stu-dents and people with-out jobs so they will beready for new jobs thatwill be created in thenear future and theones that need to befilled now. We mustkeep the jobs we havenow in this country andgive companies incen-tives to stay here in theUSA.

Jordan: The out-of-control spending and

debt is the biggest issue.We now have a debtlarger than our GDP.Nearly every year Ihave served in Con-gress, I have introducedor co-authored a bal-anced budget. This pastyear, I laid out a plan tobalance the budget andbegin paying back someof our $16 trillion na-tional debt in two piecesof legislation. The firstwas a balanced-budgetproposal I developedwith my fellow Republi-can Study Committeemembers, and the sec-ond was in a proposalthat passed the Housebut was not brought upfor consideration in theSenate, commonly re-ferred to as “Cut, Capand Balance.” This wasone path to a fiscally re-sponsible balancedbudget, but there areother good ideas outthere as well. The bot-tom line is that if Con-gress continues to kickthe can down the road,we are going to getdeeper and deeper intothis financial mess, andthe fix is going to beeven more difficult.

Kalla: The economyis the most importantissues for Americansthis election. I stronglysupport actions that willincrease economicgrowth: Reduction offederal spending acrossthe board by 43 percent,which is approximately2003 levels of spending;adoption of the FairTaxand elimination of theincome tax and the IRS;and a return to soundmoney; starting with afull audit of the FederalReserve.

What are the majorforeign policy issuesfacing the UnitedStates today and howwould you addressthem?

Jordan: Just turn onthe news and you cansee the foreign policychallenges facing thiscountry. The terroristthreat remains real. ButI would also add the na-tional debt as a nationalsecurity issue. If we failto address the runawayspending by Congress,we hurt our ability toboth protect our home-land and remain theworld’s only military su-perpower. Finally, an-other foreign policyissue is our current en-ergy situation. We needto enact a common-sense energy policy thatallows us to get our ownnatural resources herein America.

Kalla: The biggest

foreign policy issue fac-ing America is our inter-ventionist policy thatwe have implementedaround the world.Whilemilitary action is theappropriate response toattacks like 9/11, weshouldn’t get involved“nation building” incountries that don’twant us there. Let’sbring our troops home,lets’s bring our dollarshome, and let’s let themhate us from a distance.Let’s return the powerto declare war to Con-gress as our FoundingFathers intended.

Slone: There aremany issues. Terroristsand the many wars wehave fought, some ofthem based on lies (ex-ample: weapons of massdestruction). I wouldbring our troops homeand use war as a last re-sort but also make surethat Iran never getsatomic weapons. I wouldmake sure we help pro-tect Israel, as they arefriends.Trade polices area problem; we need fairtrade and not free trade.We must monitor tradepolicies to make sure weare being treated fairlywhen trading with othercountries.

What is your posi-tion on extending theBush-era tax cuts?

Kalla: Tax cuts thatfocus on specific incomeclasses are used by Re-publicans and Democ-rats as politicalweapons, rather thanbeing a part of propergovernance. The Bush-era tax cuts are a primeexample of how a debatethat should be aboutrevenue to offset gov-ernment expense isturned into a debateabout who is wealthyenough or not to paymore tax than someoneelse. That’s why Istrongly support theelimination of the in-come tax and the adop-tion of the FairTax.”

Slone: Eliminate theBush tax cuts for anycouple making over$250,000, but keep themfor any couple makingunder $250,000.

Jordan: I believe theentire tax code needs to bereformed,making the sys-tem fairer and flatterwithlower tax rates for fami-lies and businesses. Thatbeing said, I am for ex-tending the tax cuts. Let-tingAmericans keepmoreof their money is a goodthing. Americans areovertaxed already andraising taxes is not goingto get us out of this eco-nomic mess.

U.S. House of RepresentativesTerm: two years.Base salary: $174,000Duties: To represent residents of the 4th

Congressional District (Allen, Auglaize, Shelby,Logan, Union, Champaign, Marion, Crawford,Senecca, Sandusky, Erie, Huron and Loraincounties) and enact legislation for the benefit ofthe United States and its citizens.

Board of Elections.Evans said he did not

want to be involved in aconspiracy againstLenhart.“I don’t do that,” he

stated.Evans denied having

conversations with elec-tions board memberJim Thompson.Thompson began rais-

ing questions aboutLenhart’s candidacy at arecent elections boardmeeting. He told theDaily News there are “alot of questions” and as aresult he called a specialmeeting Oct. 22 to dis-cuss the matter. How-ever, only Thompson andboard member MerrillAsher, both Democrats,along with Billing andDeputy Director PhilWarnecke were in atten-dance. Thus here was noquorum and a meetingwas not held.Thompson said he

discovered informationonline about Lenhart'sassociation with LY-CURGUS Group, LLC, aprivate security com-

pany in Columbus,where Lenhart hasserved as a vice presi-dent.Thompson said it was

his understanding thatORC Statute 311.01 re-quires sheriff candi-dates to file their placeof residence and all em-ployment over the pastsix years. Thompsonstated that Lenhart’swork with LYCURGUSGroup was not listed.“Was it an inadver-

tant mistake?” Thomp-son questioned. He saidhe “assumed there was avalid explanation,” butthat it “needs to be ad-dressed as quickly aspossible.”He said the Board of

Elections must act toqualify sheriff candi-dates, and that neitherLenhart nor Evans werequalified by the board interms of the verificationof their employment ortheir residence over thelast six years.Thompson said he

doesn’t know why nei-ther elections board

Chairman Chris Gibbsor member Jon Baker,Republicans, were notat the special meeting.“The overarching

question is whether theboard is meeting theirstatutory responsibil-ity,” he said.Thompson said that

in October 2011, ShelbyCounty ProsecutorRalph Bauer certifiedLenhart to serve as theappointed sheriff afterKimpel was suspendedpending the outcome ofcharges he was facing inboth Shelby andAuglaize counties.Thompson said

Billing told him thatcertification such as thesheriff ’s has never goneto the prosecutor beforeand that such action is“out of the ordinary.”Thompson said he

went to Bauer “to getguidance on the issue.He’s our legal counsel.”For his part, Bauer

refused to say whetherhe met with Thompson.“Why am I not going to

comment one way or an-

other? ’Cause I’m not. Ihave not had any officialcontact with the Board ofElections,” he said.When asked if he had

an informal meetingwith Thompson, Bauerresponded, “I’m notgoing to answer that.”Thompson denied that

he has taken the issue tothe Ohio Secretary ofState’s (SOS) office.How-ever, SOS PublicRecords/CorporationsCounsel Chris Shea pro-vided the Daily Newswith copies of emails be-tween Thompson and theSOS in which Thompsonquestions the board’s du-ties regarding what hebelieves are issues withLenhart’s candidacy andasking which boardmem-bers can call a specialmeeting of the board.Later, Thompson called aspecial meeting of theboard.Gibbs alleged

Thompson has politicalmotivations and saidhe has no doubtLenhart is qualified torun for sheriff.

“I have confidence inhim and his deputies’abilities to keep us allsafe,” he said.Calling efforts to dis-

credit Lenhart an “at-tack” on his “rock-solidcredentials,” Gibbs saidhe has a message forthe Democrats servingon the elections board:“Stop screwing aroundand get back to the peo-ple’s business of manag-ing a smooth andreliable election.”In filing as a candi-

date, Lenhart did filedocuments that show heis the president ofLenhart Farms Inc. andis listed as a LYCUR-GUS Group, LLC, vicepresident. However, inan email, Josh Engel,part-owner and vicepresident of LYCUR-GUS Group, said, “Johnis not an employee of theLYCURGUS Group. Thenature of the relation-ship between John andthe LYCURGUS Groupis as an independentcontractor and nothingin his agreement with

the LYCURGUS groupshould be construed tocreate an employer-em-ployee relationship ...this means that Johndoes not receive anysalary and is responsiblefor the payment of all ofhis own taxes.“John is only paid by

the LYCURGUS Groupwhen he actually doeswork for clients. John’sduties as sheriff haveprecluded him from tak-ing an active role in pro-viding any consultingservices to clients. As aresult, John has not re-ceived any paymentsfrom the LYCURGUSGroup in connectionwith his role as a vicepresident.”Regarding the whole

situation, Lenhart saidhe is “disappointed inMr. Evans and his polit-ical friends attemptedmuckraking at the lastminute to question myqualifications for sher-iff. I am sure ShelbyCounty voters will knowwho is qualified andwho is not.”

DR. WAL-LACE:Who hasmore influenceon a teen to con-sume alcohol,peers or par-ents? I am amother of twoteenaged boys(14 and 15), andI forbid them tohang aroundwith boys whodrink — even ifit is “only beer,”as they say. My husbandand I are social drinkers.We have wine with din-ner and then maybe amixed drink or two laterin the evening to unwindfrom our busy jobs.My oldest boy wants

to be close friends withsome boys who areknown to consume alco-hol. My son admits thatthey drink, but he sayshe has a mind of his ownand won’t drink just be-

cause they do.—Mother, Char-lotte, N.C.MOTHER:

Peers play animportant roleon whether ornot to consumealcohol. Manyteens wind updrinking be-cause they don’tknow a goodway to say no orare afraid to be

left out of a group.But parents are the

greatest single influenceon their children’s deci-sion to drink or abstainfrom alcohol. When par-ents drink moderately,their children will prob-ably do the same whenthey reach age 21. Thoseparents who use alcoholheavily, or abuse it fre-quently, are more likelyto have children who willfollow their parents’

drinking habits. Parentswho abstain from con-suming alcohol will havea high percentage of chil-dren who will avoid alco-hol in all forms.Like it or not, teens

consider their parents tobe role models and, ifmom and dad are “doingit,” their children tend tothink it must be allright!

DR. WALLACE: Iread with great interestyour article regardingathletes NOT being he-roes. You are correct.Athletes are NOT he-roes. To me, they aremany times over-paidentertainers and noth-ing more.As one who served as

a cop for seven years andthen served 28 years inthe U.S. Army, I servedwith a lot of heroes.Though many of these

folks would deny beingheroes, they would say inturn that they servedwith heroes and thatmany of them did notsurvive.A hero is one who con-

tributes to mankindwithout thought of per-sonal sacrifice, and,many times, heroes risktheir lives in service toothers.I served, and I hope I

did all that was expectedof me. But I certainlyknew a lot of heroes! —Nameless, U.S. Army(Retired) Elizabethtown,Ky.NAMELESS: Thanks

Local WWII vet to be honoredfor lifetime of service

BY FRED HERRON

It’s been said that it’s hardto keep a good man down.That is certainly true of DonHarp, a World War II veteranwho is still “up” at the ripe ageof 90. Not only that, but Harphas been a part of major U.S.history, not once, but twice. Inaddition to being a World WarII vet, Harp worked as a con-struction worker on Florida’sDisneyWorld before it openedin 1971.

A native of the ShelbyCounty area, Harp is to begiven a special recognition atthe local Sidney VFW PostSunday. Harp is the last sur-viving charter member. Ac-cording to Harp’s friend,Roger Marrow, who is also thepost’s quartermaster, therecognition is for his “long-standing service, and being acharter member” and will bedone during the post’s annualVeterans Day Dinner, a freemeal for all members. Theywant to honor Harp in front ofeverybody in attendance.

The recognition and itstiming are significant in an-other way as well. Harp turns91 the day after, on Monday,so the event is also to com-memorate his birthday.

“It’s quite an honor,” Wel-don Oakley, another of Harp’sfriends, said. “He’s a chartermember — one of the guysthat got it started after WorldWar II.” The VFW as an or-ganization was started afterWorld War II whereas theAmerican Legion was begunafter World War I.

“I was in the military policeto start with,” Harp said of hisstint in the U.S. Army duringthose war years. He was firststationed in Oklahoma. “Iworked as an instructor onmotorcycles and cars, teach-ing guys to operate them,” hesaid. “Then, I transferred toNorth Carolina and helpedstart the 11th Airborne,”which was a paratrooper divi-sion.

After Harp had helped getit started, the 11th Airbornewas sent to the Pacific, butHarp said he was transferredout before they went.

After that, he was firsttransferred into the Air Corpsto possibly become a pilot. Butbefore that could take place,Harp was transferred backinto the ground forces, the13th, which was another para-

trooper division. That’s whenhe was sent over to serve thewar efforts in France.

“While over in France,”Harp said. “I got hospitalized(for an illness) and ended upin a hospital in Paris. Afterthat, I was flown to Englandwhere I then took a train toScotland to get on the QueenElizabeth to come home. Iended up back in the U.S. onApril 14, 1945. I got out of themilitary in November of ’45.”

Once he was back in thearea, Harp was invited to beone of the Sidney VFW’s char-ter members.

“I was one of the first,”Harp said.

He’s been a member eversince, even though he lived inFlorida for 25 years after hismilitary service was up. Harpsaid he didn’t become a mem-ber of another VFW inFlorida, but he visited oneevery so often. The reasonHarp ended up in Florida wasthat he was a constructionworker and a cabinetmaker

by trade. After the war, somefriends Harp went to schoolwith invited him down to theSunshine State to work forthem.

“They started a corporationbuilding houses,” he said.After the housing project wasover, Harp said he got the op-portunity to work on buildingDisney World, doing construc-tion before it opened. He alsosaid that he owned his owncabinet-making businessthere as well.

After 25 years, in 1995,Harp moved back to theShelby County area at thebidding of his children.

“We were getting old,” hesaid of himself and his wife.“The kids wanted us to moveback up here.”

Now in 2012, at nearly 91years of age, one could saythat Harp has had a full life.He’s been married two times.His first wife, with whom hehad three children, two girlsand a boy, died at age 42. Hissecond wife died in 2000.Harp has seven grandchil-dren. He noted with a laughthat he couldn’t rememberhow many great-grandchil-dren he had.

Though he served as sec-ond vice commander at theSidney VFW for two or threeyears, Harp’s main involve-ment has been social.

Oakley explained that theVFW was started by “guys

who came back from WorldWar II, to get somethingstarted for camaraderie, andhave a couple of beers withone another.”

Harp agreed that, as amember, he attends the VFWto spend time with others whohave had the shared experi-ence of a war veteran.

These days the 90-year-old’s health isn’t what it was,and he isn’t able to do muchmore than sit and watch TV.He does, however, serve on thecolor guard of the AmericanLegion. This is a group thatattends funerals of vets, andfolds and presents the flag tofamily, fires the 21-gun saluteand plays the bugle. Harp atone time had fired the gun,but as his health declined andhe couldn’t stand as well, hetook on the role of the “Tap-per.” The “Tapper” is the mem-ber of the Color Guard whoplays taps on the bugle.

In addition to the colorguard and his involvement inthe local VFW, Harp also hasserved on the Shelby CountyVeterans Commission. Oakleysaid that the two of themserved on the commission atthe same time, Oakley for 28years and Harp for 10.

When asked if he had anywisdom to share from hisnearly 91 years of life, Harpadvised people to “keep yourmouth shut and listen. I learnmore that way.”

PIQUA — Four seniors in the UpperValley Career Center Design and DigitalPrint Technologies (DDPT) program puttheir design and production skills to useto honor the memory of David Stace, theUpper Valley Career Center math in-structor who died in July after a fallwhile hiking in Virginia.

Haley Smith, Covington, said as soonas she heard the sad news she wanted tohelp the Stace family.

“I thought about it the rest of the sum-mer, and I just knew we could do afundraiser,” Smith said.

Smith followed through and got thesupport of DDPT instructors RalphAsh, Wapakoneta, and Randy Weaver,Piqua. Shelby Ross, Covington; EmilySnyder, Troy; and Amanda Cruse,Piqua were immediately ready to help.The four got busy designing a silkscreened T-shirt featuring a computer-generated drawing Smith made ofStace.Working from a paper printout ofthe double-imprint T, the four movedinto the sales phase of the projectreaching out to students, staff andfriends of the Stace family.

Smith is as surprised as she is de-lighted by the response.

“The whole project went bigger than Iever expected,” she said.

The four seniors have nearly com-pleted production which includes silkscreening both sides of the shirt, drying,folding and packaging the individual or-ders.

Ash and Weaver are pleased that the

students demonstrated such initiativeand used what they’ve learned in theprogram to help someone else. Ash saidthe four have raised $1,100 dollars todate.

“They were determined to make a dif-ference, and they did it,” Ash said. “Thiskind of student achievement would havereally made Dave happy.”

The Miami East National Honor Soci-ety is sponsoring a benefit dinner and

Silent Auction for David Stace’s family,including his wife and three children.The benefit will be held on Nov. 17 from5 to 8 p.m. The dinner will begin at 5:30p.m. and the silent auction will run from5 to 7:30.

Finding causes of anemia

Steer daughter to counseling after son-in-law in jail

DEAR DRS.D O N O H U EAND ROACH:Recently, bloodtests revealedthat I have toofew red bloodcells.What wouldcause this, andwhat symptomsmight I expect? I am 61years old with diabetesand high blood pressure.

Please don’t tell me Ihave to be put down, likemy neighbor’s pit bull,who had the same diag-nosis. — J.R.

ANSWER: Too fewred blood cells is anemia.Now the challenge isfinding its cause.

One of the majorcauses of anemia is bleed-ing, of which the personoften is unaware. Thebleeding frequently is inthe digestive tract. Tarryblack stools are a sign,but more often than not,

the stools do notchange their ap-pearance.

The bone mar-row is the factorythat produces redblood cells.Should the mar-row be replacedby scar tissue, red

blood cell productionstops or slows, and ananemia becomes evident.

A too-meager intake ofvitamin B-12 producespernicious anemia. Toolittle intake of folic acid,another B vitamin, alsoproduces an anemia, butnot pernicious anemia. Adeficit of iron is anotheranemia cause.

Sometimes the bodydestroys red blood cellswell before their usuallife span expires. Nor-mally a red blood celllast 120 days. Prema-ture death of red bloodcells is yet another

cause of anemia.I think you get the

message. The manycauses of anemia havedifferent treatments.

With the modern tech-niques available in med-ical laboratories,with themodern ways of viewingthe digestive tract forbleeding sites, and withthemedicines on hand fortreating most kinds ofanemia, you have noworry about being “putdown.”Do you knowwhatkind of anemia the pitbull had?

DEAR DRS. DONO-HUE AND ROACH: Iam a man in my late 80s.I expect my primary caredoctor to check the fol-lowing: carotid arteries,peripheral artery disease,blood analysis, urineanalysis and the possibil-ity of Parkinson’s. Is thisasking too much? — R.

ANSWER: It’s notasking too much.Your re-quests are modest andare relatively inexpen-sive. The doctor can listento your carotid arterieswith a stethoscope for arough estimation of theirhealth. More-expensivetests would be done if youhad any symptoms thataroused suspicion thatthose arteries might beobstructed.

Drs. Donohue andRoach regret that they areunable to answer individ-ual letters, but will incor-porate them in thecolumn whenever possi-ble. Readers may writethe doctors or request anorder form of availablehealth newsletters at P.O.Box 536475, Orlando, FL32853-6475. Readers alsomay order health newslet-ters from www.rbma-mall.com.

DEAR ABBY:We recentlylearned that ours o n - i n - l a w ,“Mike,” was firedfrom his job as acommunity serv-ice officer withthe county.

He committedsecond-degreecriminal sexualassault on twowomen inmateshe was supervis-ing and is now in theprocess of going to court.We hope he’ll be convictedand sent away so ourdaughter can put her lifetogether.

This has torn our fam-ily apart. We don’t knowhow to get through to herthat she deserves somuchbetter than this. She re-fuses to divorce him eventhough this was happen-ing during their marriageand her pregnancy, She

claims she’s notbeing abused, butwe have seen

how control-ling Mike hasbeen throughouttheir courtshipand marriage.

How can wehelp her realizethat life withouthim would be so

much betterand that sex of-fenders are never

really “cured”? They tellus they are “constantlypraying” and that “Godhas already forgiven” himfor what he has done.Anyadvice you can offerwouldbe greatly appreciated.—WORRIED PARENTS

DEAR WORRIEDPARENTS: Your son-in-law’s abuse of his author-ity is appalling. But aslong as he’s still aroundand “constantly praying”(probably more for a sym-

pathetic jury than forgive-ness for what he did tothose women), you won’tget through to yourdaughter.

Fortunately, the justicesystem has sentencingguidelines for men whoabuse their power theway Mike has, and hemay be going away for along, long time. Once he’sgone, start talking to yourdaughter about counsel-ing to deal with thetrauma she has beenthrough, and let a mentalhealth professional shedsome light on this. If themessage comes from aperson with no bias, itstands a better chance ofgetting through.

P.S. I wholeheartedlyagree she would be betteroff without him.

DEAR ABBY: I wasmarried recently but keptmymaiden name.Aswed-

ding gifts,we received twosets of towels mono-grammed with my hus-band’s last initial, and aplaque for the front of thehouse — “House of (hislast name), Established2012.”

While we appreciatethis generosity, I’m surewe will not put the itemsto use. (The plaque wasfrom a close family mem-ber on my husband’s sidewho knew I would bekeeping my name.) Howdo we handle this? —PERPLEXED NEWLY-WED IN CLEVELAND

DEAR PER-PLEXED: Here’s how:Consign the plaque toyour husband’s man-cave(or toss it), use the towelsfor something other thandisplay, and write a gra-cious thank-you to thefamily members whogave them to you for theirthoughtfulness.

Ex-PennState

presidentchargedHARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) —

The “conspiracy of silence”that protected Jerry San-dusky extended all the way tothe top at Penn State, prose-cutors said Thursday as theycharged former universityPresident Graham Spanierwith hushing up child sexualabuse allegations against theformer assistant footballcoach.Prosecutors also added

counts against two ofSpanier’s former underlings,Tim Curley and Gary Schultz,who were already chargedwith lying to a grand jury.“This was not a mistake by

these men. This was not anoversight. It was not misjudg-ment on their part,” said stateAttorney General Linda Kelly.“This was a conspiracy of si-lence by top officials to ac-tively conceal the truth.”Spanier’s lawyers issued a

statement that asserted hisinnocence and described thenew charges as an attempt byGov. Tom Corbett to divert at-tention from the three-yearinvestigation that beganunder his watch as attorneygeneral.“These charges are the

work of a vindictive and polit-ically motivated governorworking through an unelectedattorney general … whom heappointed to do his bidding,”the four defense lawyerswrote.Corbett spokesman Kevin

Harley said the defense state-ment “sounds like the rantingof a desperate man who justgot indicted.”Curley and Schultz have

repeatedly asserted they areinnocent. A spokeswoman fortheir lawyers said theyplanned to respond later tothe new charges.

The NFL iswatching — don’t

fake injuriesBY HOWARDFENDRICH

AP Sports Writer

When PittsburghSteelers receiver Em-manuel Sanders sud-denly dropped to the turflate in the fourth quarter,was helped to the side-line, returned after miss-ing one play, thenmanaged to be the firstplayer down the field onpunt coverage, announc-ers Al Michaels and CrisCollinsworth let NBC’saudience know their feel-ings.“Man,” Michaels said,

his voice dripping withsarcasm, “I’m sure gladSanders is OK.”In a similar tone,

Collinsworth chimed in:“It’s a miracle.”Both chuckled. More

guffaws and heartymock-ing of Sanders came fromESPN’s talking heads ona “C’mon Man!” segmenta couple of days later.Safe to say the NFL

doesn’t consider this alaughing matter: Theleague told Sanders itwants to chat about whathappened in that Sundaynight game against theCincinnati Bengals.When a reporter askedSanders this weekwhether he really had acramp against the Ben-gals, he didn’t answer di-rectly, saying: “We’regoing to speak on it whenwe get to New York.”At least one of the

Bengals, safety ChrisCrocker,was hardly both-

ered by the tactic.“‘If you’re not cheating,

you’re not trying,’ I guess,is the old saying,”Crockersaid. “So if you can slowthe game down, whynot?”Bengals coach Marvin

Lewis didn’t really wantto touch the topic, otherthan to say he thinks “it’sgenerally a rare occa-sion.”All 32 teams’ general

managers and headcoaches were sent amemo back in Septemberby Ray Anderson, theNFL’s executive vice pres-ident of football opera-tions, reminding them,“The Competition Com-mittee deprecates feign-ing injuries, withsubsequent withdrawal,to obtain a timeout with-out penalty. Coaches areurged to cooperate in dis-couraging this practice.”The league could fine

coaches, players or clubs— or it could decide totake away draft picks. Noone has been punishedyet for faking an injury.According to the

memo, the “CompetitionCommittee has reviewedthis issue several times,but has been reluctant topropose a specific rule,since assessing a chargedtimeout for every injurytimeout would deprive ateam of timeouts forstrategic purposes. It alsocould encourage injuredplayers to remain in thegame at risk to them-selves to avoid incurringa charged team timeout.”

Danica’s 1 regret: execution of bumpBY STEPHEN HAWKINS

AP Sports Writer

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) —Danica Patrick has only one regretabout purposely bumping LandonCassill in her last race.“I still think it was important

for me to stand up for myself, andI wouldn’t change it,” Patrick saidThursday. “I would change my ex-ecution of the actual incident. Ididn’t do a very good job with that,but I guess there’s only one way tolearn, is to try. It’s just not thateasy to take someone out.”When Patrick spun Cassill in

the NASCAR Sprint Cup race atKansas two weeks ago, shewrecked her own ride.While Cassilsaved his No. 83 car, Patrickslammed hard into the wall andended her race.Patrick was on the lead lap

early at Kansas when she saidCassill slammed into her on thefront straight, and on his radio

said, “She was in the way.” So whenCassill’s car slid in front of her, shedecided to nudge him. Both of thecars spun out.Later on his radio, Cassill said,

“Rule No. 1 in stock car racing islearn how to wreck someone with-out wrecking yourself.”Patrick offered no apology and

said there have been no conversa-tions with Cassill since Kansas.“I left it,” she said. “If he wants

7th-graders win title

Manning tries to stayperfect vs. CincinnatiCINCINNATI (AP) —

Bengals coach MarvinLewis spent the last dayof his bye weekendwatching NFL games ontelevision and getting aread on how the rest ofthe league is doing.His conclusion?“You have to play good

at quarterback in orderto win,” Lewis said.“That stands out if youlook at each and everygame. You have to takecare of the ball on of-fense and play efficientat quarterback.Turnovers beat you andif you don’t make playsfrom that position, youhave a hard time.”It wasn’t so much an

epiphany as a fore-telling. On Sunday, theBengals (3-4) bring astruggling quarterback— Andy Dalton and hisinterception streak —into a pivotal gameagainst one of the NFL’sbest of all time.Peyton Manning is

back to playing at a best-ever level, leading the

Denver Broncos (4-3) tothe top of the AFCWest.Manning has passed forat least 300 yards andthree touchdowns ineach of his last fourgames, the first to do sosince Steve Young in1998. He’s thrown for atleast 300 yards in hislast five games, match-ing his personal bestfrom 2009 with Indi-anapolis.The Colts cut their

ties with Manning aftera neck injury raiseddoubts about whether hecould ever play at thesame level again. Noquestioning that now.“It’s hard to say that

he’s not,” said Bengalscornerback Leon Hall,who watched the Bron-cos beat the Saints 34-14on Sunday night. “He’sbeen doing well, puttingup a lot of good numbers,spreading the ballaround to receivers andtight ends, I don’t knowhow the numbers com-pare, but as far as howhe looks on film, I think

he’s pretty damn close.”The Broncos have

scored 37, 21, 35 and 34points in their last fourgames, getting a littlemore comfortable withManning’s way of direct-ing things at the line ofscrimmage. And Man-ning has been roundinginto form, too, after re-covering from his neckproblems.“Well, certainly, it was

a lot of unknown beforethis season,” Manningsaid. “I think there stillis. This is a new teamand nobody knew howthis team would formchemistry-wise. I didn’tknow what my situationwould be. I mentionedearly on that I’m feelingmy way out. We’re find-ing out our identity. Ithink we are still doingthat.”Everyone in Cincin-

nati knows his identityagainst the Bengals: Per-fect.Manning is 7-0 career

against the Bengals with17 touchdowns, only

three interceptions anda 107 passer rating. He’sthrown for at least threetouchdowns in four ofthe seven games, includ-ing a four-TD game in2006.Cincinnati is one of

seven teams that havenever beaten him. TheBengals are getting himat close to his best again.“I think what he’s

done has been remark-able,” coach John Foxsaid. “He’s continuing torehab every day. I don’tknow that he’s all theway back, but he’s wellon his way for sure.”The Bengals have

concerns about theirown quarterback. Daltonhas thrown an intercep-tion in every game thisseason and in eightstraight overall, includ-ing a playoff loss to theTexans last season. He’savoided sacks by gettingrid of the ball quickly,but the coaches havestresses holding onto it abit longer to extendplays.

Browns hoping to climb from bottom of AFC NorthBEREA (AP) —

They’ve been on the bot-tom for so long it seemsas if the Browns arestuck there.With an abysmal 15-

48 record inside the AFCNorth since it was formedin 2002, Cleveland hasbeen the rugged division’slongtime punching bagand cellar dwellers.They’ve been down andstayed down.That could soon

change.One of the NFL’s

youngest teams, theBrowns believe they areclosing the gap on Balti-more, Cincinnati andPittsburgh — all playoffteams in 2011.“Everybody in the divi-

sion is beatable,” corner-back Joe Haden said. “I

just feel our team is start-ing to become one of thegood teams. We’re on theverge of being at the top.”It’s going to be a long,

slow climb, but theBrowns (2-6) are showingsigns that they’re finallyheaded in the right direc-tion. They’ve won twostraight home games, andfollowing a victory overSan Diego, the Brownsare feeling pretty goodabout themselves head-ing into Sunday’s re-match with Baltimore.The Ravens (5-2) have

beaten the Browns ninestraight times. Baltimoredefeated Cleveland 23-16on Sept. 27, but theBrowns were in the gameuntil the final seconds de-spite a costly intercep-tion, several dropped

passes and losing kick re-turn specialist/wide re-ceiver Josh Cribbs, whowas heavily involved inthe game plan, to a con-cussion in the first quar-ter.Like Haden, Cribbs

sees the Browns, who arejust 4-23 in the divisionsince 2008 and havenever been better than 3-3, catching up to theRavens, Bengals andSteelers.However,Cribbssaid the only way forCleveland to acceleratethe process and trulyshow its improved is tostart beating up the bul-lies on a regular basis.“I feel like you have

to,” Cribbs said. “Whatother way can you? Youcan say we always playthem well and fought

hard, but the real test istaking advantage of ouropportunities by winning,not by coming close.“A win is a win.”For several years,

there was a huge dispar-ity in talent betweenCleveland and the rest ofthe division. That’s nolonger the case asBrowns general managerTom Heckert has draftedwell, infusing the rosterthe past three years withup-and-coming playerslike Haden, defensivetackle Phil Taylor and atrio of rising rookies: run-ning back Trent Richard-son, quarterbackBrandon Weeden andwide receiver Josh Gor-don, who was plucked inthe second round of thesupplemental draft.

SPORTS Sidney Daily News, November 2, 2012

QUARTERBACKSBraxton Miller was called a Heisman Trophy candidate by

coach Urban Meyer on Monday, then on Tuesday his coach said Miller has not shown “anything close” to what he can do throwing the ball. Miller (1,527 yards passing, 1,093 yards rushing) became only the third Ohio State quarter-back to run for more than 1,000 yards in a season when

he gained 134 yards on the ground in a 35-23 win at Penn State last Saturday.Illinois quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase (839 yards passing, 161 yards rush-

ing) is back after missing two games with an ankle injury. He also has missed a few receivers this season with more interceptions (5) than touchdown passes (4). In his career, the senior QB has 34 TDs and 21 interceptions.

Advantage: Ohio State

RUNNING BACKSCarlos Hyde (600 yards, 10 touchdowns) was held to 45 yards on 22 carries

by Penn State, but ran hard and gained 91 percent of his yards after contact. Rod Smith’s four carries for 48 yards was his highest yardage total of the season.

For Illinois, Donovonn Young (400 yards, 2 TDs) is the leading rusher. Young gained 124 yards on 21 carries in a 31-21 loss to Indiana last week, the fifth consecutive loss for the Illini.


RECEIVERSJake Stoneburner has bought into the message Meyer

delivered to him earlier this season that he needed to step up his game. The senior wide receiver/tight end caught a 72-yard touchdown pass that clinched OSU’s win at Penn State. He has seven catches in the last three games after being shut out for three games in a row.

Ryan Lankford (29 catches, 413 yards, 5 TDs) is a sprinter on Illinois’ track team. The No. 2 and No. 3 receivers are running backs, Young with 27 catches and Josh Ferguson with 23 catches.


OFFENSIVE LINEOSU (9-0, 5-0 Big Ten) has started the same five offen-

sive linemen all season and those five have avoided injury. The Buckeyes rank second in the Big Ten in scoring, sec-ond in rushing yardage and third in third down conversions.

Illinois has allowed 30 quarterback sacks, 12 more than anyone else in the Big Ten, ranks 11th in the Big Ten in rush-ing and is last in scoring. Scheelhaase was sacked seven

times in the Indiana game.Advantage: Ohio State

DEFENSIVE LINEOhio State turned up the pressure against Penn State

with four sacks and plans to continue that the rest of the season. Michael Bennett might have had his best game of the season last week. He also might have been the healthiest he has been all season.

Tackle Akeem Spence, projected as a first or second-round NFL prospect and end and Michael Buchanan (5 tackles for losses, 2.5 sacks, 1 interception) lead Illinois’ front line.


LINEBACKERSRyan Shazier plays with a defensive back’s speed and

hits like a linebacker — a very good one. Zach Boren’s transition to linebacker from fullback continues to go well. He has had 8, 5 and 7 tackles in his three games as a starter on defense. Etienne Sabino is expected to be out again this week, but could return Nov. 17 at Wisconsin after a bye week.

For Illinois, Jonathan Brown has a team-high 8.5 tackles for losses and 2.5 quarterback sacks.


DEFENSIVE BACKS Ohio State remains vulnerable to the pass. It ranks last

in the Big Ten in passing yards per game (279.2). Penn State quarterback Matt McGloin had a career-best 327 yards against them and they gave up two fourth-quarter scores in the air. But the Buckeyes have twice as many interceptions as Illinois, 12 to 6.

Illinois cornerback Terry Hawthorne has six pass break-ups. Safety Steve Hull, a converted running back, has started 25 games at that position. Illinois has given up at least 31 points in its six losses.


SPECIAL TEAMSOne of the most glaring weaknesses for Ohio State is

having three punts blocked and seeing two of those result in touchdowns. Meyer said earlier this week all three of those blocks were because of missed assignments.

Ohio State kicker Drew Basil is 3 of 5 with a long kick of 35 yards. Punter Ben Buchanan averages 42.1 yards

per kick. Illinois kicker Taylor Zalewski is 3 of 6 on field goals, but has hit a 47-yarder this season. Punter Justin DuVernois averages 42.4 yards per kick.


COLUMBUS – Five times. That’s how many times Ohio State has had a perfect foot-ball season.

So, to see Ohio State three wins away from its sixth unbeaten season after all that has happened in the last two years is borderline amazing.

OSU is banned from a bowl trip and the BCS rankings. The roster is filled with guys who were part of a 6-7 team a year ago.

But so far Urban Meyer’s first season as Ohio State’s coach has been everything anyone could have expected and more.

The Buckeyes have done more than surprise a few people, though. What they are doing is building the founda-tion for even greater success in the future.

Winning doesn’t erase the past. But it builds enthusi-asm. Negative momentum has become extremely positive momentum at Ohio State.

Just being Urban Meyer gets recruits to take your phone call. Being Urban Meyer with an unbeaten team to talk about ramps up the enthusiasm level in the 17-year-old on the other end of the call.

“I’m really anxious to make those (recruiting) calls tonight and say, ‘Hey, this is Urban Meyer from Ohio State and we’re 9-0,’” Meyer said earlier this week.

But it’s not just recruits who are energized by winning. It affects the returning under-classmen.

“It’s much easier for play-ers and staff and coaches to believe something when they can actually see those results,” defensive line coach Mike Vra-bel says.

Sophomore receiver Evan Spencer sees that belief.

“Now we’re 9-0, so next year going into the season we’ll be like, ‘All right, last year we knew what we had to do to get to this point, so let’s do it again or do it better this time,’ ” he said.

No. 6 Ohio State (9-0, 5-0 Big Ten) should go to 10-0 on Saturday against Illinois. After that, it gets a little more dif-ficult with a trip to Wisconsin and a home game against Michigan to end the season.

But if this is the foundation, Ohio State fans have to be really excited about what the building will look like when it’s finished.
