Inside Mosul, other gunmen in a speeding car shot and killed a grocer, he said, though the motive was not immediately clear. The grocer was a member of the Shabak ethnic

Five-vehicle crash ends in single fatality

WEST MILTON — The Piqua post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol is investigating a five-vehicle fatal crash that occurred on Ohio 48 on Saturday afternoon.

The preliminary investigation by the OSHP indicates that at approximately 4:05 p.m., a motorcycle driven by David Baker, 58, of Englewood, was travelling north bound on Ohio 48 at the south end of West Milton when he collided with another north bound motorcycle driven by Jeffrey Bayless, 36, of West Milton.

Both motorcycles struck the rear of a car driven by Timothy Elliott, 65, of West Milton, which had stopped to let traffic out of the lot of the Fraternal Order of Eagles.

The two cycles then bounced

into the south bound lane striking motorcycles driven

by Brian Wright, 45, of Eaton, and Garry Norris, 55, also of Eaton.

David Baker was pronounced dead at the scene by the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office.

Louise Baker, 66, of Englewood, was a passenger on David Baker’s motorcycle.

She was taken to Miami Valley Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Bayless and Wright both were transported by CareFlight to Miami Valley Hospital and are in stable condition. Norris also was taken to Miami Valley Hospital where he was treated and released.

The crash remains under investigation.

Since then, he has flown mostly for pleasure and travel, often taking along Josie, his wife of more than 50 years.

He also flew for pay at times, working for the Stolle Corp. apart from his leisure time flying and

eventually being hired on as a full-time pilot when the position opened up.

“After I got my private pilot’s license, I went on to get my commercial pilot’s license, and I’ve been essentially to every major airport east of the Mississippi,” he said.

“We used to fly business trips — all over.”

Coal contributors target GOP legislators, governor Julie Carr Smyth Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — Coal interests that a veteran environmental regulator says played a role in his forced resignation have contributed about $50,000 to Republican Gov. John Kasich since he took office — a fraction of the wellfunded politician’s re-election campaign haul.

The industry’s larger financial investment over the past three years appears to have been in the GOPdominated state Legislature, where associates of the state’s two most powerful coal firms — Boich Cos. and Murray Energy — have directed nearly $170,000 since 2011, according to an Associated Press review of state campaign finance filings.

State lawmakers hold sway over the state’s clean energy quotas and other environmental laws.

George Elmaraghy, a 39-veteran of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, said in an email widely distributed last week that his departure was being forced by Kasich and Ohio EPA Director Scott Nally after “considerable pressure” from the coal industry. Elmaraghy headed Ohio EPA’s Division of Surface Water, which issues permits for mining and other activities.

“Because of the industry’s interpretation of the federal Clean Water Act and state

water pollution control laws, DSW staff worked under difficult conditions but you have done your jobs honorably,” Elmaraghy wrote.

The administration declined to discuss Elmaraghy’s personnel situation but defended the integrity of Ohio EPA’s permitting program. Nally rejected a request Thursday

by Elmaraghy to reverse his resignation, which Elmaraghy says was forced.

Data compiled by the nonpartisan National Institute on Money in State Politics show coal companies and executives, energy companies operating coalfired power plants in the state and others have donated more than $500,000 to Kasich’s state campaign coffers — the bulk of that coming during the 2010 election cycle.

Kasich has amassed political contributions totaling more than $5.3 million since 2011, of which just under $50,000 came from interests that could readily be identified as having a coal interest. The institute found about $35,000 came from electric utilities, the other $15,000 from mining.

Boich and Murray executives and family members also have given $27,000 to the state Republican party, and Wayne Boich Jr. gave $10,000 to the National Federation for Independent Business since 2011, records show The head of an association representing Ohio’s

coal industry rejects the idea that coal companies — or their campaign contributions — might have played a role in Elmaraghy’s resignation.

“The Ohio Coal Association does not have any influence over personnel decisions made by state agencies,” President Zane T. Daniels said. “We have and will continue to work with state and federal regulators on a day-to-day basis to ensure we’re operating within the perimeters of the Clean Water Act.” Jed Thorp, a former Ohio EPA employee who now heads the state chapter of the Sierra Club, said he is prone to believe Elmaraghy.

“Having worked over there for five years, I’m inclined to take him at this word,” Thorp said. “I just heard (Murray Energy CEO) Bob Murray complain to the Legislature about the EPA not issuing permits in a timely manner a few weeks ago. I’ve spoken with all sorts of people over there in the division. The consensus is that’s probably why he was let go.”

The Sierra Club is among the state’s most politically generous environmental groups, giving some $3,000 to legislative candidates since 2011. It wields its most significant influence on the national stage. Its Super PAC contributed $1.2 million directly to candidates and did $1.9 million in outside spending in 2012, according to data compiled

by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. In that year, Boich and Murray made political donations of $1.9 million, all to candidates, the center calculated.

Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols said criticism surrounding Elmaraghy’s departure was being fueled by “the Democrat political attack machine.”

“Fortunately for Ohio, their style of politics doesn’t rule the day anymore,” he said. “What does rule the day is the administration’s common sense approach to energy, which seeks a balanced fuel mix for Ohio: coal, gas and alternatives.

That can help keep prices low and, with sound regulations, protect people and the environment.”

He said “environmental extremists” want policies that will cost eastern Ohio coal mining families jobs.

Republican strategist Terry Casey said the philosophical tug of war between industry and environment goes back a long way in Ohio.

“Politically, Al Gore lost badly in 2000 in eastern and southern Ohio over some of these economic issues and questions,” he said. “Some have debated whether people and their jobs are more important and valued than some salamanders in a creek in eastern Ohio. And how much are consumers willing to pay in higher electric costs to satisfy the environmental desires by some interest groups?”

Alleged gang leader avoids murder charge

CANTON (AP) — An aspiring rapper who prosecutors say led one of the most notorious and violent street gangs in the northeastern Ohio city of Canton has avoided facing a murder charge in the shooting death of a teenager after agreeing to plead guilty to other charges.

In a tense and emotional court hearing on Friday, 20-year-old Lamuel Flowers pleaded guilty to complicity to felonious assault, participating in a criminal gang, and gun and gang specifications.

In exchange, prosecutors dropped charges of murder and felonious assault.

Flowers cursed at the judge in the case after he was sentenced to 15 years in prison and the judge said the only way to keep the community safe was to lock flowers up “in a cage like an animal,” according to the Canton Repository.

“As long as I’m judge in this court, there will be no early release if it’s brought to my attention,” Stark County Common Pleas Judge Frank Forchione said.

When Flowers began cursing at him, Forchione ordered him to be taken away immediately.

“This is my courtroom, not yours,” the judge said.

The charges against Flowers stemmed from the April 2012 killing of 17-year-old Anthony Moore Jr., who died after he was wounded in a shooting and left at a gas station. He was not a gang member, prosecutors said.

Flowers’ attorney, Wayne Graham, said his client was not involved in the killing.

“Mr. Flowers has denied his involvement in those offenses,” he said. “And the resolution that was reached (Friday) gave him the ability to maintain that position that he didn’t kill (Moore).”

He acknowledged that Flowers is a gang member.

Prosecutor Chryssa Hartnett called Flowers “an important member in the gang world,” and that “he’s definitely viewed as a leader” of a gang called Shorb Blocc, which led to extra security both inside and outside of the courtroom for Friday’s hearing.

Prosecutor Dennis Barr said that he’s certain Flowers killed Moore, but struck the plea deal because some witnesses might not show up for a trial out of fear and a reluctance to testify. Another obstacle could be convincing a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that Flowers was responsible for

Moore’s death, he said.

Judge Forchione said he hesitated to accept the plea agreement, but acknowledged some difficulties in trying the case and told Flowers that he believes “it’s in the best interest of Stark County that you be lifted off the streets.”

Moore’s grandmother, Wanda McCollum-Dotson, spoke at the hearing and blamed Flowers for her grandson’s death.

“Guns in the hands of children only result in tragedy,” she said, then referred to the upcoming 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s march on Washington and his “I Have a Dream” speech.

“What is your dream?” she asked Flowers. “Nobody dreams about burying their children, and nobody dreams about going to prison.”

Flowers’ mother, Angela Flowers, shouted outside the courtroom that a Canton officer involved in the case set her son up and that he didn’t kill Moore.

Flowers was an aspiring rapper, filming high-quality videos posted on YouTube and viewed by thousands. Some videos show guns and reference gang life.

“Your 15 minutes of fame is over with as of today,” Forchione told Flowers at the hearing.

Few texting citations so far in Ohio COLUMBUS (AP) — Traffic citation statistics indicate there hasn’t been a big upswing in tickets for Ohio motorists who text while driving.

The Columbus Dispatch reported Sunday that a check of three populous counties didn’t find many citations under the Ohio

ban that took effect a year ago. The Ohio State Highway Patrol issued warnings in the first six months the law was in effect. A Patrol spokeswoman says it doesn’t have a tally of citations written since the grace period ended nearly six months ago because the data set

would be so small.

The newspaper reported that 10 adults have been cited under the state ban in Franklin County, while Hamilton County has had 18 ticketed. In Cleveland, two tickets for the statewide ban have been written, with many more written under a local ordinance.

For adult drivers in Ohio, the state law is a secondary offense, meaning drivers would have to be stopped for another offense.

Columbus, in Franklin County, also has a local ban on texting while driving.

In effect since 2010, 140 citations have been issued under the Columbus ban.

In this Friday, July 19 file photo, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine speaks at a news conference in Cincinnati. The Ohio Attorney General’s Office says numbers collected under a state gun law requiring courts to report information about people with mental illnesses don’t add up. The office has ordered its regional field representatives to survey Ohio’s probate courts to figure out why numbers vary so widely across the state.

Ohio AG: Mental illness gun law data don’t add up Andrew Welsh-Huggins Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Figures collected under a state gun law requiring Ohio’s probate courts to report information about people subject to courtordered hospitalization for mental illnesses don’t add up, and the state’s top law enforcement official wants to know why.

Attorney General Mike DeWine has ordered his regional field representatives to contact all 88 probate courts to determine why the numbers — required under Ohio’s 2004 concealed weapons law — vary so widely.

The goal of the reporting requirement is to keep people with serious mental illnesses from obtaining a conceal-carry permit.

Hamilton County, home to Cincinnati and the state’s third most populous county, reported 10,000 cases of mental illness-related court orders over a nine-year period since the law passed, according to attorney general data obtained by The

Associated Press through an open records request.

Yet Cuyahoga County, home to Cleveland and Ohio’s most populous county, reported 3,200 cases during the same time period. That’s fewer than Montgomery County, home to Dayton and the fifth most populous county, which reported 5,600.

Some big counties reported few or none — such as Lake County in northeast Ohio, which reported just two cases over nine years.

“The numbers per county leave a lot to be desired whether or not we’re getting comprehensive and complete data,” Steve Raubenolt, deputy superintendent of the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, told the AP. There’s no evidence that someone who shouldn’t have obtained a concealed weapons permit did so because of the data issues, Raubenolt said.

But the state still doesn’t know if people who should be on a list preventing them from applying for the permits aren’t in there, he said.

Mental illness reporting by probate courts The Associated Press

Ohio’s 2004 concealedcarry law requires probate courts to report all cases of people receiving courtordered mental illness treatment to the Ohio Bureau of Investigation. The goal of the requirement is to keep people with serious mental illnesses from obtaining a conceal-carry permit. The attorney general’s office is trying to figure out why figures collected over nine years since the law was enacted don’t always add up, including instances where some counties didn’t report any numbers. In some cases, it appears that individuals sent outside of a county for treatment were reported by the probate court where they received the treatment, not where they live. The commitment figures that counties reported, from most to least populous counties: Cuyahoga: 3,261 Franklin: 3,643 Hamilton: 10,390 Summit: 3,704 Montgomery: 5,653 Lucas: 2,321 Stark: 2,488 Butler: 448 Lorain: 3 Mahoning: 696 Lake: 2 Warren: 266

Nation/World Today in History

By The Associated Press

Today is Monday, Aug. 26, the 238th day of 2013. There are 127 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, guaranteeing American women’s right to vote, was certified in effect by Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby.

On this date: In 1883, the island volcano Krakatoa began cataclysmic eruptions, leading to a massive explosion the following day.

In 1913, the newly completed Keokuk Dam in Iowa was dedicated.

In 1936, the AngloEgyptian Treaty, calling for most British troops to leave Egypt, was signed in Montreux, Switzerland. (It was abrogated by Egypt in 1951.)

In 1958, Alaskans went to the polls to overwhelmingly vote in favor of statehood.

In 1961, the original Hockey Hall of Fame was opened in Toronto.

In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson was nominated for a term of office in his own right at the Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City, N.J. In 1968, the Democratic National Convention opened in Chicago.

In 1971, New Jersey Gov. William T. Cahill announced that the New York Giants football team had agreed to leave Yankee Stadium for a new sports complex to be built in East Rutherford.

In 1972, the summer Olympics games opened in Munich, West Germany.

In 1978, Cardinal Albino Luciani of Venice was elected pope following the death of Paul VI. The new pontiff took the name Pope John Paul I. (However, he died just over a month later.)

In 1986, in the so-called preppie murder case, 18-year-old Jennifer Levin was found strangled in New York’s Central Park; Robert Chambers later pleaded guilty to manslaughter and served 15 years in prison.

In 1993, Dorothea Puente was convicted in Monterey, Calif., of murdering three of her boardinghouse tenants; she was later sentenced to life without parole. (Puente died in prison in 2011, at age 82.)

Ten years ago: In the face of criticism, President George W. Bush defended his handling of the war and reconstruction of Iraq, telling an American Legion conference in St. Louis the fight was essential to the U.S. campaign against terrorism.

Out of the Blue

Ronstadt ‘can’t sing a note’ LOS ANGELES (AP) — Linda Ronstadt says she suffers from Parkinson’s disease, which has robbed her ability to sing.

The 67-year-old music legend tells AARP Magazine, in an article posted online Friday, that she was diagnosed eight months ago and “can’t sing a note.”

Ronstadt says she began to show symptoms as long as eight years ago, but attributed her inability to sing then to a tick disease. When her hands began to tremble, Ronstadt said she thought the shaking was the result of a shoulder operation.

She said she was “completely shocked” when she finally saw a neurologist and was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. “I wouldn’t have suspected that in a million, billion years.

“No one can sing with Parkinson’s disease,” Ronstadt told AARP music writer Alanna Nash. “No matter how hard you try.”

Ronstadt sold tens of millions of records starting in the 1970s with pop hits like “You’re No Good” and “When Will I Be Loved.” But she also segued into country, pop standards and mariachi music, among other genres.

In addition, the singer was known for her romances with California Gov. Jerry Brown and filmmaker George Lucas.

Youth see march anniversary as chance to lead Shaquille Brewster Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Mary-Pat Hector of Atlanta was operating much like a 1960s civil rights activist as she laid plans for the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington. She was constantly on the phone as she confirmed event details, tweaked the draft of the speech she gave at Saturday’s rally at the Lincoln Memorial and prepared for a presentation.

Mary-Pat is 15 years old.

Just as the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. led the Montgomery Bus Boycott at age 26, and Rep. John Lewis helped to lead freedom rides at 23, young Americans like Mary-Pat are not letting age get in the way as they seek more than a contributing role in the push for social reform.

Young people are eager to influence this year’s March on Washington, says Jessica Brown, national coordinator for

the Black Youth Vote coalition, which organized several youth events around Saturday’s march to the Lincoln Memorial.

“Of course you have the seasoned people who are there, and they are always rightfully going to have their position,” Brown said. “But you’re starting to see the pickup of the youth saying, ‘This is our time, this is our moment, this is the opportunity we have to show the world and the nation, that we’re here and we’re ready to work and organize to get things done.’”

In 1963, those “seasoned people” were A. Philip Randolph and Bayard Rustin, who birthed the idea of a Washington march to appeal for jobs and justice, and ultimately attracted 250,000 people. Today, the Rev. Al Sharpton and Martin Luther King III, who were 8 and 5 years old, respectively, in 1963, are the veterans who brought thousands to the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday. The King Center

also has organized a ceremony on Wednesday, the actual march anniversary, when President Barack Obama will speak.

Friday night, students and young adults gathered at Howard University in Washington for a mass meeting and rally ahead of Saturday’s march — activity patterned after the student rallies that were held before major demonstrations during the civil rights movement.

Anthony Miller, president of the Howard University Student Association, said students recognize the historical significance, and some are using this moment to express their continuing anger over the shooting death of black Florida teen Trayvon Martin.

“They want to be able to do something positive and something that will uplift this situation and really bring it to light,” Miller says. Students want “to effect a positive change and push this country in the right

direction,” he said, “And I think this is an excellent opportunity.”

Janaye Ingram, who runs the Washington office of Sharpton’s National Action Network, spent hours on the phone recruiting students. “This is their moment to make a change. It’s reminiscent of what happened in the ’60s, when the movement was led by them,” she said.

Students and other young people made significant contributions to the civil rights movement. In 1957 a group of black students, later called the Little Rock Nine, helped integrate all-white Central High School in Arkansas. The Freedom Riders challenged segregation by riding buses through the South in integrated pairs. There were numerous others who held sit-ins at restaurant counters, skipped school to participate in marches and were attacked by police dogs and water cannons during public demonstrations.

Powell: Verdict ‘questionable’

Black columns of smoke rise from heavy shelling in the Jobar neighborhood, east of Damascus, Syria, Sunday.

Syria reached an agreement with the United Nations on Sunday to allow a U.N. team of experts to visit the site of alleged chemical weapons attacks last week outside Damascus, state media said.

U.N. to investigate use of chemical weapons in Syria Lee Keath and Ryan Lucas Associated Press

DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Syria agreed Sunday to a U.N. investigation into last week’s alleged chemical weapons attack outside Damascus — a deal a senior White House official dismissed as “too late to be credible,” saying the United States has “very little doubt” President Bashar Assad’s forces used such weapons.

The hardening of the U.S. position came as calls for military action grow. In a sign the U.S. may be a step closer to an armed response, naval forces have already been dispatched toward Syria’s coastal waters, although President Barack Obama has cautioned against a hasty decision.

With France, Britain, Israel and some U.S. congressmen urging swift military action against Assad’s regime if the use of chemi-

cal agents is confirmed, the U.N. team’s conclusions could have a dramatic impact on the trajectory of the country’s civil war.

The agreement struck in Damascus calls for U.N. experts already in the country to begin an investigation Monday into the suspected chemical attack on rebelheld areas in the capital’s eastern suburbs.

Anti-government activists and Doctors Without Borders say that more than 300 people were killed in an artillery barrage by regime forces Wednesday that included the use of toxic gas. The government calls the allegations “absolutely baseless.”

The suburbs hit in the suspected chemical strike, collectively known as eastern Ghouta, are under the control of rebel fighters, and regime artillery and warplanes have pounded the area for days. The U.N.

inspectors will have to traverse through both government-held and oppositioncontrolled turf to conduct their probe. Rebels have said they will help facilitate the visit.

Under Sunday’s agreement with the U.N., the Syrian government “affirmed that it will provide the necessary cooperation, including the observance of the cessation of hostilities at the locations related to the incident,” U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky said in a statement.

In Washington, a senior administration official said the U.S. has “very little doubt” that regime forces used chemical weapons in Wednesday’s attack, an assessment that was “based on the reported number of victims, reported symptoms of those who were killed or injured” as well as witness accounts and facts gathered by the U.S intelligence com-

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Secretary of State Colin Powell called the jury verdict that cleared the killer of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin “questionable” and urged President Barack Obama to speak more on issues of race during an interview that aired Sunday.

The first black chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said the Martin verdict soon would be forgotten but said Obama — and all presidents — have a responsibility to discuss the nation’s history of racial injustice. Powell spoke as Washington marked the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s march that included the iconic “I Have a Dream” speech.

“If Dr. King was here, I’m quite sure he would say, ‘Congratulations on all the progress that’s been made, but let’s keep going. The dream is not fully achieved yet,’” said Powell, also the first African American to serve the nation as secretary of state.

Asked about the Martin killing, Powell questioned its impact on the civil rights discourse. A Florida jury found George Zimmerman acted in self-defense and acquitted him during a criminal trial.

“I think that it will be seen as a questionable judgment on the part of the judicial system down there, but I don’t know if it will have staying power,” Powell said. “These cases come along and they blaze across the midnight sky and then after a period of time, they’re forgotten.”

That doesn’t mean Obama should keep silent, though, Powell said.

“I’d like to see him be more passionate about race questions,” Powell said of Obama, whom he endorsed during the 2008 and 2012 presidential election.

“For the president to speak out on it is appropriate. I think all leaders, black and white, should speak out on this issue,” the Republican added.

Powell said he didn’t fully grasp the civil rights upheaval happening during the early 1960s until he returned from Vietnam. His wife, Alma, didn’t share the developments with him from their home in Birmingham, Ala., and his service blocked him from engaging in the political upheaval.

Julie Harris, Broadway star, dies at 87 Mark Kennedy AP Drama Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — Julie Harris, one of Broadway’s most honored performers, whose roles ranged from the flamboyant Sally Bowles in “I Am a Camera” to the reclusive Emily Dickinson in “The Belle of Amherst,” died Saturday.

She was 87.

Harris died at her West Chatham, Mass., home of congestive heart failure, actress and family friend Francesca James said.

Harris won five Tony Awards for best actress in a play, displaying a virtuosity that enabled her to portray an astonishing gallery of women during a theater career that

Iraq

spanned almost 60 years and included such plays as “The Member of the Wedding” (1952), “The Lark” (1955), “Forty Carats” (1968) and “The Last of Mrs. Lincoln” (1972).

She was honored again with a sixth Tony, a special lifetime achievement award in 2002.

Her record is up against Audra McDonald, with five competitive Tonys, and Angela Lansbury with four Tonys in the best actress-musical category and one for best supporting actress in a play.

Harris had suffered a stroke in 2001 while she was in Chicago appearing in a production of Claudia Allen’s “Fossils.” She suffered another stroke in 2010,

James said.

“I’m still in sort of a place of shock,” said James, who appeared in daytime soap operas “All My Children” and “One Life to Live.”

“She was, really, the greatest influence in my life,” said James, who had known Harris for about 50 years.

Television viewers knew Harris as the free-spirited Lilimae Clements on the prime-time soap opera “Knots Landing.” In the movies, she was James Dean’s romantic co-star in “East of Eden” (1955), and had roles in such films as “Requiem for a Heavyweight” (1962), “The Haunting” (1963) and “Reflections in a Golden Eye” (1967).

Multiple blasts hit the city of Baqouba, about 60 kilometers (35 miles) northeast of Baghdad.

Police said one bomb exploded near a police officer’s house, killing his 8-year old son and

wounding 11 other people, police said. The police officer was unharmed.

Later in the day, a parked car bomb went off in a residential area in the city, killing seven and wounding 34. Yet another bomb exploded next to a wedding party convoy, killing four and wounding 17, police said.

In the capital Baghdad, a car bomb at a market in the south-

eastern and largely Shiite neighborhood of al-Ameen killed three civilians and wounded 13 others, authorities said. Three other civilians were killed and six wounded when a bomb attached to a car exploded while passing through the capital’s eastern Zayona neighborhood, police said. Another bomb went off in a commercial area in the western Ghazaliya area, killing

two people and wounding seven others, officials said.

Later in the evening, police said a bomb tore through a coffee shop, killing eight and injuring 27 in Baghdad’s northern Shaab neighborhood.

Medical officials confirmed the casualty figures. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to release the information.

Foundation offers fund statements online Individuals and organizations with charitable funds at the Community Foundation of Shelby County now have the option of viewing fund statements online.

The statements allow the review of new gifts, investment earnings, fees and grants.

“Many people go online for banking, shopping, and information.

We want our donors to have this convenience, too,” said Marian Spicer,

Community Foundation executive director.

“Statements are updated monthly instead of our past procedure to mail paper statements quarterly.”

Charitable fund donors have been provided with password-protected log in codes for the funds they established. The log in area is on the foundation’s website at www.commfoun.com. Individuals who established donor advised funds, which

allow them to recommend grants to favorite charities, may also complete an online grant form from the site.

“A number of local organizations have charitable funds with us and they like to report on the fund at their monthly board meeting,” said Spicer. “The executive director or treasurer can print a summary of the fund’s activity right from the site. They can also drill down in many areas

to see detail on gifts and grants. Anyone who has given to the fund anonymously will not have their name listed, only the amount.”

Paper statements are still mailed quarterly to those who prefer them. The Community Foundation of Shelby County administers more than 125 charitable funds established by local residents and benefiting many aspects and areas of the community.

A color code for recycling mode?

Dear Readers: Here is a follow-up to a Sound Off about recycling symbols on plastic bottles: “I have a suggestion about the numbering system currently used on plastic bottles/ containers, etc., to determine if they can be recycled. The numbers are in a small triangle, and if the bottle/container is clear, it is extremely difficult to see the numbers.

The colored ones are very hard as well. It seems to me that all the manufacturers need to do is color-code the triangle — green means it can be recycled, and red means it can’t. That would eliminate any confusion and difficulty that is encountered with the current system. The

Club visits Botkins gardens Members of the Rainbow Gardeners toured the gardens of Janell Welker during their August meeting.

Her garden at home features a variety of trees, shrubs, and perennials, as well as a vine-covered pergola and nearby water feature. Vegetables intermingle with flowering plants.

Ceramic containers overflow with colorful annuals at the entrance to the front yard, and a pathway to the front door is surrounded by hydrangeas in bloom and weeping evergreens.

Many of the trees came from the Helmlinger Tree Farm near Russell’s Point.

Welker described her garden as a work in continual progress. Members spotted many unusual annuals and perennials that Welker likes to test in her own garden before offering to the public at Progreen Nursery, which she co-owns with her husband, Joe. In the back yard, a large, two-tiered pond flows under a bridge so that visi-

tors can get a better view of the enormous, pastelcolored water lilies. Sunloving annuals and perennials give each other support along a pathway that is perfumed with hundreds of blooms. Welker said that using organic products for disease and insect control allows her chickens to fertilize plants and “eat any other critters they may come across.”

The club also visited the nursery. Customers could select late-blooming annuals and garden mums, which will bloom in September and October.

Members took advantage of some last-minute shopping. Animals topiary Welker created by growing a variety of succulents in moss-covered mesh make easy-to-maintain yard art.

She suggested replacing scraggly-looking annuals in containers with perennials or geraniums that can take a bit of frost.

Welker supplies restaurants with her home-grown

produce. Local residents can buy what’s fresh, knowing that no harmful pesticides or chemicals have been used on anything they purchase.

The meeting began with lunch at the Inn Between in Botkins. Linda Jennings and Ginny Shaw as co-hostesses provided a chocolate cake for dessert.

Mary Lou Overton reported that there were 401 entries in the Shelby County Fair Flower Show this year from all over Shelby County. Reasons for the increase in attendance may be a better growing season, website information, and word-ofmouth concerning how floriculture has become a rewarding popular pastime.

Michelle Bishop, one of the judges, graded the show 91.5 percent. She indicated that artistic design entries should be accompanied by a note card listing materials used. The other judge, Barb Lennon, felt that specimens should have variety names noted on the tags.

Shaw reminded everyone that the Applefest Flower Show will be Sept. 7 at the Job and Family Services building. The theme is Autumn Hoedown. Entries should arrive between 9:30 and 11:30 a.m., and judging will begin at noon. Peggy Mohler will judge. Detailed information is available on the Applefest website, www.ShelbyApplefest.com.

Marianna Roth reported that Deb Timmerman of Russia and Teresa Potts of Sidney were co-winners of the Residential Landscape Award. Each winner received an OAGC certificate and a glass garden ornament.

Ann Heeley said to stop fertilizing roses and other perennials by Labor Day or the beginning of September. She said gardeners should keep feeding and dead-heading annuals so they won’t go to seed and cut back long, gangly stems. She said to take cuttings of herbs between now and late September and root in plain water.

ODNR adds online resource to help owners of small woodlots C O LU M BU S — Approximately 200,000 Ohioans own a small woodlot (1-10 acres), and the number of owners is growing. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) has added an online resource to assist this growing group of small-woodlot owners.

“Small woodlots are important because they support wildlife, clean the air and water, and provide renewable forest products,” said Robert Boyles, state forester and chief of the ODNR Division of Forestry.

This new online resource provides information on planting trees, enhancing woodland wildlife habitat, controlling non-native woodland insect pests and diseases, maintaining native woodland plants, protecting water quality, thinning woodlots, growing specialty forest products and providing woodland retreats.

Jed doesn’t say “I love you” unless he is cornered because it appears he DOESN’T love you.

Yes, you’re wasting your time. If you want someone to share living expenses so you can enjoy a better lifestyle, find yourself a roommate.

DEAR ABBY: I have been married for 29 years and I’m having concerns about my husband. I’m not sure what to make of the fact that he is becoming effeminate.

For many years he has shaved his underarms, legs, etc., to the point that he is completely hairless. He recently lost some weight and is joining a gym. He wears women’s stretch tights and a girdle to work out, because he says it helps him sweat around his middle. He is also very concerned about exfoliating the bottom of his feet and putting lotion on his legs.

He says these things shouldn’t bother me, but they do. I don’t know what to make of it, and when I try to talk

to him about my concerns, he blows me off. Do other men do this kind of stuff? I’ve only been with him, so I don’t know. Can you give me another perspective? — A LITTLE WORRIED IN WISCONSIN DEAR WORRIED: These days some men wax, shave, moisturize and exfoliate their bodies. Your husband may wear tights at the gym because he looks around and sees younger men with sleeker physiques and he’s self-conscious about his own. If he’s not getting strange looks from others working out there, his attire may not be that unusual.

It’s important that couples, particularly those who have been married as long as you two have, be able to talk to each other. Because some of this is a recent change in your husband’s behavior, you deserve an explanation.

Odds and ends NEW YORK (AP) — “Lee Daniels’ The Butler” served up a second helping at the box office, topping the weekend with $17 million according to studio estimates Sunday.

That was enough to lead all films on a late August weekend known as a dumping ground for studios following their summer blockbusters and before the start of the fall movie-going season.

Daniels’ historical drama about a long-serving White House butler, starring Forest Whitaker and Oprah Winfrey, last weekend opened with $24.6 million for the Weinstein Co. Three new releases failed to catch on. The teen fantasy “Mortal Instruments: City of Bones,” adapted from the popular young adult book series, opened tepidly in third with $9.3 million on the weekend and $14 million since opening Wednesday. With franchise hopes, Sony Screen Gems has already started production on a sequel, again starring Lily Collins as a New York teenager who discovers she has mystical powers.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Tuesday, Aug. 27, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a wonderful day to party and schmooze with others. You'll enjoy hanging out with family members, partners and close friends. (You're even friendly with members of the general public.)

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Things will go well at work today because it's easy to get along with coworkers. The only downside is that you would rather play than work. Be careful about overdoing anything.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Today is party city! Enjoy sports events, the arts, movies, the theater, playful times with children and romantic flirtations. Live it up!

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Entertain at home today. In fact, you'll enjoy making your home look more attractive. (Always easy to do with the threat of guests arriving!)

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You can make money from your words today, which is why this is a great day for teaching, acting, writing, promoting and talking. Relations with neighbors and relatives are friendly.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Business and commerce are favored today because the money is flowing!

Trust your moneymaking ideas. If shopping, guard against extravagance. Keep your receipts.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You feel warm and friendly to everyone. In fact, all kinds of group gatherings will appeal because you're confident as well as sociable. "Jump in! The water's fine!"

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a busy social time for you; however, today you feel quietly pleased with yourself. Seek out solitude in beautiful surroundings if you can so that you can mellow out.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) All kinds of meetings -- classes, casual get-togethers or conferences -- will be successful today, because you're in a friendly, easygoing mood. In particular, you will like creative encounters with talented people.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might develop a crush on your boss or someone in a position of authority today. In turn, people in authority think you look great!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Travel plans are exciting. Similarly, some of you have high hopes for exploring opportunities in publishing, higher education, the media, medicine and the law. Looking good!

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Keep your pockets open, because gifts, goodies and favors from others can come your way today. However, if you have to decide how to share something, don't give away the farm.

YOU BORN TODAY You identify with the common person - the man on the street. This is why you're aware of inequities in society and the suffering of those who are deprived. Some of you are pragmatic about this; most of you are idealistic and search for ways to improve social conditions. You care.

This year a change might take place, perhaps as significant as something that occurred around 2004.

NAMELESS: Your boyfriend is mistaken.

Alcohol of all types is high in calories, but contains zero nutrients, minerals, vitamins or proteins. Alcohol depletes the body of such vitamins and minerals as calcium, zinc, magnesium and potassium.

It also depresses appetite, which can lead to malnutrition, even if the drinker appears to be overweight.

There is one exception to avoiding alcohol.

That’s when a medical doctor tells a patient to “have a small amount of red wine because it’s good for your heart.” Some, but not all doctors, agree that something in red wine appears to help the heart. It’s possible that flavonoids or resveratrol have heart-healthy benefits, but the American Heart Association warns that if you start drinking red wine just to prevent heart disease, the alcohol can be addictive and can cause or worsen other health problems.

Dr. Robert Wallace welcomes questions from readers. Although he is unable to reply to all of them individually, he will answer as many as possible in this column.

Cellphones hot prison contraband items CLEVELAND (AP) — Ohio corrections officials are finding that cellphones are increasingly popular contraband items for prison inmates.

The Plain Dealer of Cleveland reported Sunday that state prison records show corrections officers have seized 319 cellphones in the year’s first seven months. That compares to 340 for all of last year, and is a jump from 126 seized in 2010.

New and smaller kinds of cellphones are making it easier for them to be smuggled into and hid-

den in prison. Experts say inmates can use cellphones to plan escapes, assaults or smuggling activities. They can also use them run crime operations from inside the prison, and use cellphones to videotape.

“No good can come from inmates having cellphones,” said Richard Lichten, a law enforcement consultant in Los Angeles. “It is a huge security issue.”

“They are so very small and compact, but they’re a powerful tool in the hands of a prisoner,”

said Vinko Kucinic, security threat investigator for the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections.

Ohio corrections officials have begun using cellphone detectors that can track phone use.

Kucinic said they also have increased training of guards on looking for cellphones, and also are using search dogs.

Experts say cellphones have high value on the prison black market, with relatively cheap phones on the outside going for hundreds of dollars inside.

Sidney Chapman pounded eight kills and Olivia Slagle had four solo blocks.

Madeline Smith dished out 11 assists.

5 things to know from Bengals-Cowboys ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Tony Romo thought he had finished all his work by halftime, when the first-team Cowboys offense finally scored a touchdown.

The Dallas quarterback had to get called back after their 24-18 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Thinking he was done since he had given quotes to a team official at halftime, after throwing two TD passes, Romo initially left the locker room Saturday night without talking. He eventually spoke on a conference call with reporters crowded around a speakerphone in a small room.

“I thought it was important more than anything just to score points and put us in a position to have a good feeling as we finished the preseason with the starters,” Romo said. “It was something we needed to do to cap

the preseason because we hadn’t gotten in the end zone yet.”

Here are five things we learned from the Bengals and Cowboys: 1. GREEN IS GOOD: Two-time Pro Bowl receiver A.J. Green made his preseason debut for Cincinnati after being sidelined the first two games because of a bruised left knee sustained in the first training camp workout. He caught three passes for 42 yards, and was a heel from having a touchdown — he didn’t quite get his second foot down in bounds after a nifty catch on the far side of the end zone in the third quarter. “I felt good out there. Good to get back, get my wind back,” Green said. Asked about Green’s solid performance, quarterback Andy Dalton responded, “It’s what I expect.”

2.

MURR AY’S RESPONSE: A pri-

mary emphasis for the Cowboys after six turnovers their previous game was to take care of the football. They didn’t have any turnovers, though No. 1 running back DeMarco Murray fumbled inside the Cowboys 10 in the first quarter.

Murray responded after coming out with secondteam quarterback Kyle Orton for the first drive after halftime. Murray carried eight times for 45 yards, then twisted and turned past five defenders to turn a short pass into a 7-yard touchdown.

3. GIVING IT AWAY: Cincinnati had four turnovers. The Bengals fumbled on their first drive, after Marvin Jones was stripped following a 16-yard catch to the Dallas 4. Andy Dalton threw an interception in the second quarter. “The fact we hurt ourselves is the biggest thing,” said Dalton, who finished 12

Barker and Hurwinder Kaur all had eight digs and Bri Wells pounded out seven kills.

The Sidney junior varsity lost to Minster 25-13, 25-17, but defeated Graham 25-15, 25-20.

Botkins wins in 3 Botkins defeated Waynesfield in three games Saturday, 25-14, 25-21, 25-11.

of 16 for 113 yards. “It will be a good tape to learn from.” It was the first loss this preseason for the Bengals, who have been to the playoffs each of the past two seasons and have most of the same players back. “Now we can quit having all that smoke puffed up our butts and we can get back to work,” coach Marvin

Lewis said.

4. STILL OUT OF LINE: The Cowboys are still moving players around on the offensive line. Doug Free, who started all 16 games at right tackle last year and every game the previous two seasons at left tackle, played right guard.

Parnell was at right tackle and Mackenzy Bernadeau

at left guard.

5. PUNT FOR THE SKY: Dallas punter Chris Jones knew when he kicked the ball that it had a chance of hitting the huge video boards that hang 90 feet above the center of the field. “It goes up there and gets in the shadows and then I saw it kind of flutter down,” Jones said.

Reds drop series to Brewers CINCINNATI (AP) — One single in seven innings. Not the way the Cincinnati Reds wanted to end a weekend that left them with a bit of a lost feeling as they hit the road.

Caleb Gindl homered for the second straight game, and rejuvenated Marco Estrada held Cincinnati’s lineup to one single over seven shutout innings, leading the Milwaukee Brewers to a 3-1 victory on Sunday.

The Brewers took two of three from the Reds, who wasted a chance to gain a little ground in the NL Central. They remain right behind Pittsburgh and St. Louis, which is their next stop on the schedule.

“When we lose a series to any team at this point, we feel it’s a missed opportunity,” said Jay Bruce, who had one of Cincinnati’s five hits.

Credit Estrada (6-4), who gave up Shin-Soo Choo’s leadoff single in the first inning, and then left the Reds swinging at nothing. He walked two,

fanned a season-high nine and retired 10 batters on popups or fly balls — usually a risky thing in homer-friendly Great American Ball Park.

“He’s one of those guys that if he makes his pitches, he’ll have success,” Bruce said. “If he doesn’t, the ball gets up in the zone. After Choo got that hit, that was generally it. He pitched a really, really good game.”

Estrada’s changeup is his best pitch, and it was working Sunday.

“Besides a well-located fastball, to me that’s the secondbest pitch in the game,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said. “He pitched a good game, no ifs and buts about it.”

Jim Henderson gave up Joey Votto’s 20th homer in the ninth inning while picking up his 21st save in 24 chances.

Right-hander Greg Reynolds (0-2) made his second start as an injury fill-in, this time for left-hander Tony Cingrani.

Reynolds did far better this time, limiting the Brewers to five hits in six innings, including Gindl’s homer off a cut fastball that was off the inside corner.

“He gave us what we needed,” Baker said. “He gave us six innings, then it was time for a pinch hitter. He pitched well enough to win.”

Jean Segura singled home another run in the seventh.

With the way Estrada was pitching, the Reds were fortunate just to hit the ball hard.

Estrada fanned six in a row during one stretch. The Reds hit only one ball out of the infield from the second through the sixth innings, Zack Cozart’s routine flyout.

Estrada is on his best surge of the season. He was sidelined for two months with a strained left hamstring, and has dominated since his return on Aug. 6. He’s 2-0 in four starts, allowing a total of only five earned runs.

Gindl has shown a knack for noteworthy homers.

He became the first in Brewers history to have a game-ending homer as his first in the majors, a solo shot in the 13th inning for a 1-0 win over Miami on July 21. On Saturday night, he had the first pinch-hit homer of his career, also a solo shot during a 6-3 loss to the Reds.

He belted the fourth pitch he got from Reynolds over the wall in right for a 2-0 lead.

It was Reynolds’ second start this season for the Reds.

Reynolds, who was Colorado’s first-round pick in 2006, also was called up from Triple-A Louisville to pitch the second game of a doubleheader on July 23 in San Francisco. Reynolds pitched at Stanford and had a lot of friends and family on hand for the game, which added to his nerves.

The second time around, he

Kenseth soaring after Bristol win BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — Matt Kenseth had old tires, a sputtering gas tank and Kasey Kahne in his rearview mirror in the closing laps of a race for the third time this season.

The result was the same as it was in Las Vegas, same as it was in Kansas.

Kenseth won again.

He held off Kahne on Saturday night at Bristol Motor Speedway — the third time this season the two have gone 1-2 — to reclaim some of the momentum that had escaped Kenseth of late. A strong start

to the season had given Kenseth three wins in his first 11 races with Joe Gibbs Racing, and win number four came six weeks later. But he’d been in a slump of sorts heading into Bristol, with four finishes in the last six weeks of 15th or worse.

The strong start followed by a minislump has made the year feel very choppy for Kenseth, who now has a Sprint Cup Series best five victories.

“I think if you look at the beginning of the season, I think it was better than

I ever could have dreamed of,” Kenseth said. “We were qualifying up front every week, we were leading tons of laps in position to win races. Sitting here in August, it feels like the year has been two years long with all the different things we’ve had happen to our race team.

“The last month and a half, two months has been, I hate to say reality check because I hope this is reality all the time, but we’ve struggled just a little bit more, haven’t quite had the speed. It’s been a little bit more of a struggle.”

was much calmer and a lot better.

“I was definitely able to slow it down a bit and make pitches when I had to,” Reynolds said.

NOTES: The Reds put Cingrani on the 15-day disabled list with a strained lower back.

They also moved RH reliever Jonathan Broxton to the 60-day DL. Broxton had season-ending surgery Friday to repair a tear in his right forearm. … Choo stole the 100th base of his career. … Choo slid hard into 3B Aramis Ramirez’s left ankle while stealing another base.

Ramirez grabbed his ankle in pain, but stayed in the game. … Cincinnati Ballet principal dancer Cervilio Amador threw a ceremonial pitch — after a double spin in the air — to fellow Cuban Aroldis Chapman. … The Reds head to St. Louis, with Mike Leake (11-5) facing Cardinals LHP Tyler Lyons (2-4).

Lehman’s Joe Fuller made it two-for-two by winning the Division III boys race, and Russia standout Emily Borchers crossed the line first to win the D-III girls race.

Fuller ran a 16:35.8 to beat out Nick Childs of Dayton Christian by 13 seconds.

Minster took the team title with 66 points to 90 for Russia, and the Wildcats put three in the top 10 and four in the top 14, led by Ben Butler in fifth. Dominic Slonkosky was ninth and Andrew Fausey 10th, while Andy Albers crossed 14th.

Lehman only has four runners but two of them cracked the top 10. Jenna Zimmerman was fifth and Caroline Heitmeyer eighth.

• Sidney and Botkins competed in the Divisions I-II at Milton Saturday, and both gave a strong performance. Botkins was ninth out of 21 teams and Sidney 12th.

“We went up a division and faced D-I and D-II schools,” said Botkins coach Ryan Gutman. “It was great to see our kids race against different competition. It was good

for them, and I hope it will mean good things for our team as we continue the season.”

Austin Jones led Botkins, placing eighth in 17:11, and that time puts him eighth all time among Botkins juniors.

Teammate Cameron Flora was 11th in 17:16, and that’s the sixth-best time ever for a sophomore at the school.

Sidney’s Chris Musser ran an outstanding race, placing fifth overall.

In the girls D-I-II event, Botkins was seventh and Sidney eighth. Chloe Flora of Botkins was sixth and Sidney’s Stevie Shepherd led her team, placing 17th.

• In middle-school action, the Russia boys placed second behind Oakwood. Sidney was third out of 25 teams.

Zachary Bell led Russia in 15th in12:21.1, Dion Puthoff was 26th in 12:46.1, Jack Dapore 27th in 12:46.6, Evan Monnier 31st in 12:52.2, and Gavin George 53rd in 13:25.

For Sidney, Eli Starman was 14th in 12:21.2, Josh Spaugy 28th in 12:46.8, Gavin Bockrath 42nd in 13:06.8, Kent Ryan 49th in 13:18, and Matt Musser 56th in 13:27.

Carter Pohl of Minster was second overall in 11:28.1 and teammate Andrew Broering was fifth in 12:00.5.

Houston’s Tristin Freistuhler was third in 11:38.6 and Botkins’ Mathew Prout sixth in 12:02.5.

• The Minster girls were also the class of the middle school field with 44, 86 points better than runner-up Oakwood in the 19-team field.

Pilar Slonkosky led Minster, placing second in 13:09.6, Madeline Magoto was fifth in 13:16.9, Claire Borgerding 11th in 13:42.5, Grace Butler 16th in 13:46.8, and Alli Fischer 17th in 13:47.5.

Also cracking the top 10 was Alanna O’Leary, who was third in 13:13.1, and Megan Frazier of Russia, who was fourth in 13:15.6 Bob Schul Invitational Saturday at West Milton Division I-II BOYS Team standings – 1.

Lady Cavs, Celina battle to 0-0 tie

Lehman’s Ashley Keller (right) battles Celina’s Kelly Moeder for control of the ball in girls soccer action on Saturday. The two teams battled to a 0-0 tie.

CELINA — Lehman girls soccer coach Tony Schroeder recalled last season when his girls took on Celina.

“They controlled the game, but we won,” he said.

Saturday, the roles were nearly reversed. Schroeder said his Lehman girls dominated the action, but the game ended in a scoreless tie, leaving the Lady Cavaliers at 1-0-1 on the season. Celina is 1-1-1.

“We controlled the entire game,” said Schroeder.

“But we had a couple shots go off the post, and their goalie played a great game with 12 saves.”

The Lady Cavs outshot Celina 20-6 in the game, and keeper Grace Frantz wasn’t very busy, finishing with two saves.

Lehman is back in action on Tuesday at home against Dayton Christian.

Lady Jackets lose 2-1 on penalty kick SPRINGFIELD — The Sidney Lady Jackets dopped to 1-2 on the season after a 2-1 loss to Tecumseh in non-

league girls soccer action Saturday night.

All the scoring game in the final five mintes of the contest.

Northwestern broke the scoreless deadlock with a goal with that much time remaining, but Sidney was able to get the tying goal two minutes later when Kara Burns passed to Morgan Knasel, who converted it.

However, Northwestern was awarded a penalty kick with just a minute left in the game, and it decided the contest.

“I thought the girls played hard given the tough situations we were playing in,” said Sidney coach Stacey Goffena. “Northwestern was extremely physical and playing short a referee did not bode well for us. But we still had plenty of opportunities that we could just not convert.”

The Lady Jackets will finally get to play at home in their next outing, with Wayne coming in Wednesday for the home opener at the high school.

Sidney Daily News, Monday, August 26, 2013

Five things to know from Browns-Colts INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts put it all together, and the Cleveland Browns couldn’t get anything right.

Andrew Luck threw two touchdown passes and was in complete command of the offense and Indianapolis’ starting defense stymied Cleveland’s offense. Even the Colts’ often maligned special teams had some big plays in a 27-6 victory over the Browns on Saturday night.

Here are five things we learned from the teams’ preseason game: 1.

DEFENSIVE IMPROVEMENT: Indianapolis spent a lot of money in free agency to upgrade the defense, and it’s starting to pay big dividends.

Indy has now gone two consecutive games without giving up a touchdown, and the Browns couldn’t even get into the red zone. The Colts’ starters dominated — yielding only four first downs and allowing Cleveland to run only three plays in Indy territory, one being a punt, before departing in the third quarter.

Yes, it’s only the preseason but after an opening-game debacle in which some of the Colts’ starters didn’t even play and most left in the first quarter, the Colts are finally showing signs this defense could be as good as coach Chuck Pagano has advertised.

2. BROWN OUT: Brandon Weeden and the Browns had put together two impressive perfor-

mances against the Rams and Lions. Then everything went wrong. The Browns’ quarterbacks were harassed all night.

Cleveland’s running backs struggled after Trent Richardson left.

The receivers dropped passes and penalties stalled drives.

After scoring 51 points in the first two games, the Browns struggled mightily in the one preseason game that might be most telling measuring stick.

Coach Rob Chudzinski said the game showed Cleveland needs to be more consistent, but it also must be far more productive on both sides of the ball.

3. ARE YOU FELING LUCKY?: The critics contended Indianapolis was lucky to pick the right season for a collapse, lucky to win so many close games a year ago, and lucky again last week when a deflected pass went for a touchdown against the Giants. Perhaps so. But quarterback Andrew Luck showed Saturday that there’s more to Indy’s comeback story than just good bounces and good fortune.

He was in complete command of the offense against the Browns, going 16 of 25 for 164 yards with two TDs and one interception.

He ran four times for 20 yards and led the Colts to three scores on three of the seven drives he played. It probably would have been four of seven, had Stanley Havili not bobbled a pass which wound up as an interception at the Cleveland 2-yard line.

HELP WANTED:

Cleveland Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden throws against the Indianapolis Colts during the first half of a preseason NFL football game in Indianapolis Saturday.

Richardson could be headed toward a big second season for the Browns. He still needs help.

With Montario Hardesty (thumb, knee) and Dion Lewis (broken leg) both out, the Browns were looking for somebody, anybody to become a solid complementary back. They’re still looking.

While Richardson ran seven times for a respectable 31 yards, Jamaine Cook, Brandon Jackson, Chris Ogbonnaya and Weeden

combined for nine carries and 28 yards, a paltry 3.1 yards per carry. While Richardson is built to shoulder the load, the Browns need to find more helpers before the season opener.

5. SUGAR RAYFORD: Caesar Rayford has certainly turned heads this preseason. The 6-foot7 linebacker has spent the last few years playing in the Arena Football and Canadian Football Leagues, but this preseason, the

27-year-old rookie has wowed Colts coaches. He had three more tackles Saturday, and his two sacks allowed him to keep the team lead with five. Rayford has had at least one sack in each preseason game and has shown no indication he’s about to slow down. There’s little doubt he’ll be on the roster after the first cut down, and the way he’s playing, he might earn one of the coveted spots on the 53-man roster, too.
