Span to link Treasure Island to park land

BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@tdnpublishing.com

Staff Reports A Miami County man has been arrested on child pornography charges.

Tipp City Police took Michael Canode, 45, into custody Thursday.

He’s charged with two counts of pandering obscenity involving a minor; one count of pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor; three counts of pandering obscenity; and three counts of illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material or performance.

Police said they seized several items used to store digital media, including two computers, during a search of Canode’s home.

He’s being held in the Miami County Jail.

Three local construction companies worked Thursday morning to assemble the “bridge to the future” — as Mayor Mike Beamish puts it — that now connects Troy’s five-acre land donation from ITW with nearby Treasure Island.

“My goal is to create the heyday of the ’40s and ’50s.

I’ve always thought the Treasure Island boathouse — this building here — was the hub for Troy,” Beamish said of the project, which was spearheaded by city of Troy engineering technician Neil Teaford. He referred back to the time when parties were hosted on the rooftop of the building.

Beamish passed out medallions to representatives of the three businesses, DBS Prestress, C. Miller Excavating and Ernst Concrete, thanking them for their “time, talent and treasure.” City of Troy project manager Stan Kegley also was out at Treasure Island to watch the project unfold.

Dennis Goecke II, Ernst Concrete sales representative, said he appreciated

“That was pretty awesome, to actually be able to win overall,” Stradling said.

Her mother, Tina, said she is proud of her daughter’s success over the years.

“We have a pretty huge born and raised show; it’s a project for us. We raise them at my Dad’s,” Tina said, referring to her father, Chuck Myers.

Stradling’s participation in the fair was not limited to animals. In the past, Stradling also submitted jewelry and modeled cloth-

New approach to wildfires Forest Service now tries to tamp out every flame ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — If lightning strikes in the New Mexico wilderness and starts a fire, the blaze would normally be little more than a blip on the radar of land managers who have earned a reputation for letting flames burn to keep forested lands from growing into a tangled mess.

This season is different.

Now firefighters are trekking deep into the Gila National Forest with trains of equipment-carrying horses and one overriding goal: snuffing out all fires, no matter how small or remote.

The U.S. Forest Service’s decision is temporary. But after years of upholding fire’s natural ability to clean up the landscape, the agency’s about-face has drawn criticism from watchdog groups, some scientists and others who fear the agency might be setting the stage for an even more destructive season next year.

“At a time of both drought in the interior West and overall increases in average global temperatures, we will be seeing more fire on the landscape and not less. Yet this policy attempts to put our hands over our eyes and deny that reality,” said Andy Stahl, executive director of Forest Service Employees for Environmental Ethics.

“Rather than making our more fire landscapes resilient, we’re going to return to the mid-20th cen-

Yet, with the biennium budget on the horizon for Adams and Beagle, the senator said, “There’s a lot left to do.”

“There is no shortage of problems for the statehouse to address,” Beagle said with a laugh. He also said he is working on a committee for workforce transformation and development to help businesses find qualified employees to fill vacancies.

Beagle also said for chamber members to pay attention to the two state issues on the November ballot. The first is to decide whether Ohio will have a Constitutional Convention.

This issue is voted on once every 20 years.

Issue 2 for voters is the redistricting of the state for legislation.

“It would replace today’s system with a board,” Beagle said.

Beagle explained there would be many unknowns with the redistricting board, including no way to dismiss a board member, and no transparency in its

“Our reason was loyalty,” Goecke said of participating in the project. “My connection was through Chad (Miller). When we were asked, we tried to react as quickly as possible.”

Jim McNulty of DBS Prestress said assembling the bridge provided a way to “give something back to

doing.”

However, the agency can’t afford to let fires smolder week after week, constantly consuming firefighting resources as crews monitor the flames. Putting out fires quickly costs less, Hubbard said.

Fire suppression now accounts for more than half of the Forest Service’s budget. This year, the agency had $948 million to get the job done, but projections show costs will actually come closer to $1.4 billion by season’s end.

Critics claim it costs more to use slurry bombers and water-dropping helicopters to attack flames far

from communities than to let fires burn in places like the Gila or Montana’s Bob Marshall Wilderness.

Since the 1970s, managers of the Gila Forest have been letting fires burn when conditions allow.

Researchers say that practice helped minimize the severity of a blaze that blackened more than 450 square miles of the forest earlier this summer.

Although it was the largest fire in New Mexico’s recorded history, experts believe most of the burned areas have a good chance at recovery.

The Forest Service’s new directive also carries anoth-

er complication: the risk to firefighter and air crews battling blazes that otherwise would have been allowed to burn, Stahl said.

On Sunday, a 20-yearold firefighter was killed by falling debris while her crew fought what officials believed was a 50-acre fire.

The flames were threatening commercial timberland.

Despite the call to put out all fires, Hubbard said forest supervisors can let fires burn under certain circumstances, including cases where sending in crews would be too dangerous.

Across the West, only one fire deep in the Teton Wilderness in Wyoming is being allowed to burn.

Everything else is being snuffed out, including the lightning-sparked fires in the Gila Forest, where about four dozen blazes have been reported since early July. No homes have been threatened.

Still, any fire could turn out to be the next monster, given the dry conditions, said Mike Wheelock, a former smokejumper and president of a private Oregonbased firefighting firm.

“We need to fight these fires aggressively early on rather than wait until they come roaring out of the wilderness,” he said.

New Mexico and Colorado are slowing down after record-setting fire seasons, but fire activity is ramping up in California, Nevada, Oregon, Idaho and Montana.

budget the way the issue reads today.

Beagle said the Ohio Bar Association also does not support the redistricting plan due to its unknowns and shifting power of the districts to the board.

“Things like that concern me,” Beagle said. “I encourage you to get educated about that.”

Adams said he has enjoyed getting legislation pushed through the General Assembly, including bills that crack down on scrap metal theft, bringing credit card companies back to Ohio to do business and other local measures.

“It’s not easy to get the House to agree, the Senate to agree and then there’s the governor with his veto pen,” Adams said.

The three things on Adams’ main agenda are Medicaid reform, school funding reform and public pension reform.

Adams explained how Medicaid is in the process of being streamlined to one company from seven managing it for the state, and soon will have its own

department under the governor’s direction instead of being administered through the Department of Job and Family Services.

“This will help the people who need help, get the help they need,” Adams said. As for public school funding, Adams likened the current formula to buying a ticket on an airplane, where no two people pay the same amount for the same trip.

“We are going to start with a blank sheet of paper and fill it in term of what needs to be done,” Adams said. Adams told the commerce members how public pension reform was still in the works to make modifications to ensure those that the funds would stay solvent in the years to come.

Adams said part of the reform would require the pension system to be managed by an elected board and provide fiscal responsibility for its contributors.

“All these issues affect you, your community and your business,” Adams said.

“I urge you to be cognizant of what’s going on in Columbus.”

the whole community.”

The cost of the project, which was funded entirely by the three businesses, was at least $24,000.

Thursday’s assembly of the bridge over the Morgan Ditch — connecting Treasure Island with the 5 acres of land — is one piece of a greater project to eventually connect Treasure Island with Duke Park, allowing for bike path and river access. The hope is to one day create better accessibility from Troy to

Miamisburg.

The mayor stressed that the city is taking “baby steps” to ensure the final project is completed as efficiently as possible. A private donation or grant would be required for the project, he added.

For now, Beamish is thrilled with this initial step in bridging the gap — literally — between two scenic pieces of land in Troy.

“We thank them for their vision and donation,” Beamish said.

• Continued from 1 is just a click away, no matter where they are.

Both parties’ ambitious plans reflect the maturation of social media sites that played a much smaller role in the conventions four years ago. The Republicans call theirs a “convention without walls,” while the Democrats say their gathering will be “the most open and accessible in history.”

Democrats will not just show prime-time speeches live on the Internet, but will also stream caucus meetings and the council discussions of the party’s platform and ideals over the Web. Republicans have hired a full-time blogger and a full-time digital communications manager to do nothing but engage people online.

The conventions’ Facebook and Twitter sites are already stoking interest in the events, with photos of the Republican stage under construction in Tampa or profiles of Democratic volunteers and delegates. Users can interact with a mouse click, such as one who urged friends to help the GOP convention Twitter feed muster more followers than its counterpart. Both had more than 10,000 followers Friday.

Social media was still in its infancy four years ago.

The number of items posted on Twitter on Election Day 2008 is equal to about six minutes worth of tweets today, the social media company recently wrote on its blog.

The dramatic changes in social media have required both parties to almost start from scratch in developing strategies for incorporating Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and Flickr into their conventions.

In 2008, Republicans

hired a web vendor to handle all things Internet for their convention. Now, there’s a dedicated social media team with its own “Social Media War Room” in the Tampa Convention Center. The party’s biggest push through the Internet will come through videos on YouTube, Republican Convention National spokesman James Davis said.

“Our goal is to leverage these technologies, to reach every American, whether they are in Toledo, Ohio, the convention floor in Tampa or a forward operating base in Afghanistan,” he said.

Democrats will have a similar setup at their convention Sept. 4-6 in Charlotte. (Republicans meet a week earlier in Tampa.)

“We’re able to expand it even further and invite the whole country to participate in a more interactive way then you might traditionally experience by tuning into a television,” said Nikki Sutton, director of digital media for the 2012 Democratic Convention.

And those planning protests are using the Internet to get organized, too. The March on Wall Street South, which plans to bring thousands to Charlotte to rally against big business and economic inequality, has a website, Facebook page and Twitter account.

Organizers hope to use the Web to direct people to sites in more than a dozen states where they can take buses to Charlotte to join in the various protests during the week.

Social media is allowing modern-day campaigns and political parties to get their messages out unfiltered. That’s especially useful as broadcasters and newspapers have drastically reduced the amount of air time and space they devote to conventions.

Forest Service officials acknowledge that decades of fire suppression have combined with drought, a changing climate and invasive insects to turn much of the West into a tinder box. The decision was purely financial.

“We don’t want to do this long-term,” said Forest Service Deputy Chief Jim Hubbard. “We know being able to use fire makes good sense, and we know some forests are very good at it.

EDITORIAL The Gazette, Montreal, on curbing the global sex trade: Prostitution, always among the most intractable of problems, has become in today’s global economy one of the fastest-growing businesses in the world; its estimated worth is $32 billion a year. Hundreds of thousands of people a year around the globe are trafficked into the sex trade.

No one knows how many Canadian children and adults are coerced into prostitution, this supposed “victimless crime.” But Canada, to our shame, has become a major destination for sex tourism, according to a report last year by the U.S. State Department. …

“In Montreal you can order a girl like a pizza,” Det.-Sgt.

Herald Sun, Melbourne, Australia, on sports in schools: Australia’s poor performance in the pool at the London Olympics has raised concerns that a lack of compulsory sport in schools may be partly to blame.

Sport may become compulsory under a planned national curriculum, if all the states agree.

But it needs a willingness to change that is not immediately evident.

Victoria made “physical and sport education” mandatory in 1994.

But does that mean “competitive” sport? Not as some schools understand it. Competitive sport is simply ignored.

John Coates, Australia’s Olympic chief, argues sport should have been made compulsory on a national curriculum after the Sydney 2000 Olympics.

Britain did so, and the benefits have been obvious.

The gold standard Coates puts forward goes only part of the way. It must emphasize that sports in schools be competitive. …

But in most cases sport teaches children that success is not everything. While winning might seem to be the purpose of competitive sport, it can be just as much a lesson in losing.

James Magnussen, who expected to win gold for Australia at the London Olympics, instead found the character to lose. …

Life is robust and so is sport, and Mr Coates seeks gold medal performances from Australian athletes.

He is right to aspire to winning and to create a youth legacy that will see Australians do better. …

DOONESBURY

Sometimes stomach flu isn’t just stomach flu Since going vegan more than five years ago, there have been a few perks I may or may not have been a bit pompous about.

One of those perks, may or may not have been that I felt completely safe and validated in eating gobs and gobs of raw cookie dough. We didn’t have any icky eggs or milk in it, so there wasn’t any harm in digesting a little flour, applesauce, sugar and dairy-free butter, right?

Maybe.

But maybe not.

You also might remember about three weeks ago when my husband and I had to cancel our big New York City getaway due to our little girl having what at the time we thought was the worst stomach flu to hit our family of three. To paint a less than lovely picture for you all, it seemed like our dear daughter had some sort of fluid coming out of every orifice of her poor, itty bitty body.

And then 24 hours later, all seemed right in the world.

She was rambunctious, she was starving and she had the energy of five toddlers. We thought we had made it through our first big stomach bug basically unscathed.

Boy, were we wrong.

Over the next week, Pearyn would have tiny stomach battles,

Amanda Stewart Troy Daily News Columnist whether it was a little spit up in the middle of the night (which the doctor on call contributed to either reflux or excess saliva from her two-year molars breaking through) or less-than-solid stool. We were told it could be a combination of things or her system was just getting back to its usual self and not to worry. As long as she wasn’t running a fever, complaining of stomach pain or finding blood in vomit or stool, we shouldn’t worry.

Of the 12 hours she was awake on a normal day, she was acting like herself and fine for 11 and a half of them. They told us we were in the clear, they told us we could go and so we did.

We went on vacation.

Her first two days there seemed fine, she played on the beach, splashed in the pool and pigged out at dinner time. Just when we thought we’d made it

— Nancy Frantz Troy

through whatever we were battling, it came back tenfold. We ended up having to take our tiny toddler to the emergency room at 1 a.m. one night because she was crying so hard and writhing in pain. Her little belly was so bloated I had basically diagnosed her with a thousand different (and very serious) ailments. It turns out, she had a partial bowel obstruction.

We spent our first night ever in the emergency room with our daughter watching them examine her, X-ray her and run a myriad of other tests, all to be told her bowels could have been swollen from the stomach bug and not to worry. They’d run a stool culture and let us know if there was anything awry, other than that, we just had to make sure she was passing gas and stool.

We thought we were in the clear.

Four days later (sick-free at that), we received a call that our daughter’s culture tested positive for bacteria consistent with salmonella.

Our 2-year-old toddler had been suffering from salmonella poisoning for more than two weeks now. I couldn’t wrap my head around how our daughter had contracted such nasty food poisoning, one that originates in

uncooked poultry, eggs and dairy, things we hadn’t had in our house, let alone ingested in more than five years.

Turns out salmonella has a dirty little secret no one seems to tell you about. It spreads fast and attaches itself like a clingy ex-girlfriend to anything it can, including vegetables, grocery store carts and a plethora of other unsuspecting substances.

Three weeks deep and four days on medicine and our daughter has finally been fluid-spewing free for five days and nights, the longest since she started fighting this battle.

This entire time I just knew it wasn’t a stomach bug. For starters, no one had caught it who was around her, including toddlers, an infant and a very pregnant me. We couldn’t all be that lucky.

Sometimes, the stomach flu really is just the stomach flu; you have to just wait it out.

But what we learned over the last month, is that sometimes (especially when your intuition is telling you something else) the stomach flu isn’t just the stomach flu.

Amanda Stewart appears Saturday in the Troy Daily News.

She needs a vacation from her vacation.

Honda’s new Accord brings investment, jobs to Ohio and even more jobs here.”

Phillips said area officials are hoping that Honda will choose the county as the site for production of its new version of the Acura NSX sports car. Honda has not yet announced the exact location, but says it will be near one of its Ohio plants.

The Accord competes in the biggest segment of the U.S. auto market and is often No. 2 on the list of best-selling cars behind the Toyota Camry. The 2013 Accord will begin production at the Marysville plant on Monday with Gov. John Kasich and Honda of America President and CEO Hide Iwata attending.

Production of new engines and transmissions for the new Accord began this week at west-central Ohio plants in Russells Point and Anna, where the manufacturer has added about 150 jobs between the

two facilities. The Russells Point plant is providing the Accord’s transmissions, with the Anna plant producing its engines and eventually the high-tech pulley components for Honda’s new continuously variable transmission technology. That technology, to be deployed for the first time in the United States in 2013, will improve fuel efficiency and driving performance, Honda spokesman Ron Lietzke said.

Paul Benedetti, president and chief executive of the Logan County Chamber of Commerce, said investment in the new model already has helped boost that county’s economy, combined with the increased flow of auto parts that had been interrupted when Japanese factories were damaged by an earthquake and tsunami in 2011.

Unemployment in the last year has dropped to 6.2 percent from the previ-

ous 8.3 percent in the county that is home to the Russells Point plant.

Benedetti said Honda’s investment has meant improved business for many Honda suppliers there, resulting in an estimated 700 new jobs.

“It’s not just that Honda has been hiring, but we have openings for other immediate positions to be filled,” he said.

In Union County, a Honda supplier of tooling and automation products has already added 10 employees and expects to

more than double its total of 40 employees as a result of the new model and increased production in Marysville.

“We’re so confident that we are planning to build a new larger facility,” said Bassam Homsi, president of Autotool Inc. in Plain City.

Kasich spokeswoman Connie Wehrkamp said the new model is “great news” for the 13,500 Ohioans employed by Honda and for the tens of thousands employed by its Ohio suppliers.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Honda’s new Accord sedan to be unveiled Monday at a central Ohio plant has led to more than $220 million in investments and more jobs in two of its other Ohio plants, with companies that supply Honda with products and services also getting a boost.

Economic development officials in central Ohio are hopeful the new Accord to be produced at Honda’s Marysville plant in Union County will lead to even more Honda investment in Ohio and bring more economic benefits to their areas.

“Every time Honda has invested in Ohio over its 30 years here, it’s meant more jobs,” said Eric Phillips, executive director for the Union County Economic Development Partnership. “If the Accord continues to be as successful as it has been, we’re hoping that it might lead to additional investments

The iconic bar, which sits on the Florida and Alabama state line, is famous for its annual mullet-tossing contest patrons gather on the beach and throw dead fish from Alabama into Florida.

Bikini contests, bar brawls and drink specials are the day-to-day business of the beach bar that calls itself “America’s last roadhouse.”

But for one hour every Sunday, the Flora-Bama is home to about 450 regular congregants of Worship at the Water, an outreach service of the Perdido Bay United Methodist Church. More than 1,100 filled the place on Easter Sunday.

Bible study is in the upstairs bar.

If Jesus returned to Earth, he’d probably kick back at the Flora-Bama, said Jack de Jarnette, a founding pastor of the church.

“It’s the sort of place he often went and hung out with people,” he said. “When you cannot get people to come to church, the alternative is to bring the church to them.”

In this Aug. 5 image from video, parishioners take communion at the Flora Bama Lounge, Package and Oyster Bar in Pensacola, Fla. The iconic bar, which sits on the Florida and Alabama line, is famous for its annual mullet tossing contest, bar brawls and drink specials. But for one hour every Sunday, the Flora Bama is home to about 450 congregants of Worship at the Water, an outreach service of Perdido Key United Methodist Church.

A band in tie-dyed Tshirts played Curtis Mayfield’s “People Get Ready,” as parishioners gathered underneath an awning adorned with rows of Land Shark beer flags on a recent Sunday. Most wore flip-flops and shorts, but some wore swimsuits.

“If you look closely, you might see a few of the churchgoers having a Bloody

Mary or a bushwhacker,” longtime bar employee Blitz Poston said. “It’s really a wonderful thing that brings together people from all walks of life.”

Offerings are collected in neon tackle boxes placed throughout the bar.

Pastor Jeremy Mount wears Mardi Gras beads, shorts, sandals and T-shirt that is fringed around the

sleeves.

“There are seven places to drink and no place to worship God on this key,” he said. “We feel like God has called us here to be a ministry. Where would there ever be a better place than the world-renown FloraBama?”

His sermon is one of redemption and hope, followed by a communion with

bread and grape juice instead of wine.

Many members of his flock were regular churchgoers before they started attending the Flora-Bama service. Others have become regulars because they like the unique setting, Mount said.

“Some had never been to church, ever, but they felt so comfortable here in the

Flora-Bama,” he said.

Church member Paul Holland is a longtime fan of the Flora-Bama, which he says is a five-star honkytonk filled with top-shelf rednecks. He has become an even bigger fan of the church service.

“I don’t want to be judged because I don’t have a threepiece-suit and I don’t drive a brand-new car and this is that kind of church they don’t judge you. I feel like I’m more welcome in this church than any I’ve ever attended in my life,” he said.

The service is just a year old, starting on July 4, 2011.

Church volunteer Joye Fletcher was baptized behind the Flora-Bama in the Gulf of Mexico during Worship at the Water’s first anniversary.

“It’s just an awesome spirit-led service,” she said.

The service is often a surprise for the tourists who flock to the strip of snowwhite sand and turquoise water during the summer months, said Bruce Barrios, the bar’s Sunday manager.

“We have so many people in from out of town. We have people come in and when they see we are having church they pick up a Bloody Mary, a bushwhacker or a soft drink, sit down and listen to the sermon. It’s really cool, you know, it’s unique.”

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Urge your mother to consult with a lawyer Dear Annie: What do you do with a sibling who has been enabled all of his life when Mom is no longer around to provide for him?

My brother has had a house to live in, a car to drive, insurance, etc., for the past 25 years. He is an alcoholic and a drug user. He doesn't work because he doesn't want to. He has an all-expensespaid life.

When my mother dies, how do we settle the estate? If the house is given to my brother, he would lose it because he has no concept of paying bills. My sister thinks we should sell the place, give my brother his share and move on.

My mother is 82 years old and in poor health. She will be leaving us a huge mess when she passes, but she refuses to discuss it now. —Help Me Plan Dear Help: Your mother doesn't want to deal with this, so she's hiding her head in the sand. And it's difficult to make plans in advance if you don't know whether your mother has a will that leaves the house to your brother, in which case, he is free to let it collapse into ruin.

You should consider all the possibilities, including how much responsibility you will take for your brother when the gravy train stops. Unless he gets help for his addictions, his behavior is unlikely to change. Are you comfortable throwing him out of the house? You can't force your mother to settle these questions, although please urge her to see a lawyer. Your best bet right now is to contact Al-Anon (al-anon.alateen.org) in order to deal with your brother.

Dear Annie: My wedding is only four months away. The place where we are holding the reception is not very large. I'm not a big fan of people bringing their kids to wedding receptions, especially little ones who run around tripping up the waitstaff and getting under the guests' feet while they are trying to dance. This happened at a wedding I attended last month. Kids also were running around blowing out the candles on the tables, screaming, crying and causing a fuss. Ugh! Annie, is there any way to invite the parents and hint to leave the little ones at home? I mean, wouldn't they rather have a good time than chase their kids all night? — Patti in Oregon Dear Patti: Invitations are intended only for the addressees, which means if the kids' names (or "and family") aren't included on the envelope, the kids are not invited. You also can pass the word to friends and relatives that this is an adults-only event.

However, some people may not be able to attend if they can't find a sitter. There will also be those who bring the kids regardless. If you anticipate that happening, we suggest hiring a babysitter or two to keep an eye on their behavior.

Also, have things to occupy the younger set (paper and crayons, puzzles, games, art projects, etc.) and kid-friendly food for them to eat. If your reception hall has another room, you could set up the children's area there and perhaps include videos to keep them occupied.

Dear Annie: This is in response to "New Jersey," whose son's girlfriend didn't offer to help clean up after meals or show any indication that she had manners.

My son's college-age girlfriend also had me worried. At first, I wondered how that girl had been raised and was concerned about our future relationship with her.

However, we discovered that her manners are exceptional. It simply took some transition time while she changed from a guest in our home to a member of our family.

We did put expectations on our son, however, to help out, as well.

After all, he was already part of the family, and I'm sure that helped bring his girlfriend into the action and let her know how family members contribute. — Less Worried Future Motherin-Law Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Here’s a few tips on how to handle a vacancy Dear Heloise: Our son will be out of the country for a year, and we will be looking after his condo. How often should we run the water in the sinks and tub, and flush the toilets? Do we need to run the dishwasher/washing machine? Should we unplug the refrigerator? If so, how do we keep it from developing an odor? How should the furnace/air conditioner be set?

Should it be turned off? Any suggestions would be appreciated. — Kate in Salt Lake City Kate, here are a few hints to help you.

You should drop by the

Hints from Heloise Columnist condo once a month or so.

Turn on the water so it can run through the pipes, and flush the toilets. Prop open the door of the dishwasher (after running every few months) so air can circulate and mold can be kept at bay.

Completely empty, clean and unplug the

refrigerator/freezer. Prop it open, or put bowls of activated charcoal inside.

Finally, have your son ask the property management what temperature is suggested for the furnace/AC for the most cost-effectiveness. — Heloise PET PAL Dear Readers: Julia in Hudson, N.H., sent a picture of her two cats, Oreo and Pebbles, resting under a sign reading “Trespassers Will Be Eaten.” Doubtful, though, because the cats seem more interested in sleeping! To see these cats and our other Pet Pals, visit www.Heloise.com

and click on “Pets.” — Heloise POLISHING TRICK Dear Heloise: I do my own pedicures. When polishing my toenails, I sometimes would slip and get polish on the skin around the nails.

Before applying polish, I carefully use a cotton swab to put a thin layer of petroleum jelly all around my nails, making sure none gets on the nail itself.

After the nail polish is dry, I wipe off the petroleum jelly, and it takes any polish mishaps with it. This results in a neater, more professionallooking pedicure. — Nancy in Beavercreek, Ohio

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Sunday, Aug. 19, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is going to be an unusually optimistic, upbeat and busy year for you.

Short trips and a built-in sense of optimism will combine to really rev your engines!

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Good news! The next 18 months promise to be excellent for finances. Many of you will get a raise or a better-paying job. Ka-ching!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) For the first time since 2001, lucky Jupiter is in your sign for the whole year (until the summer of 2013)! This means your year ahead will be unusually fortunate and filled with fun times and good opportunities.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) For different reasons, many of you will derive a greater sense of personal contentment in the year ahead. You’ll feel happier being in your own skin. (How fortunate.)

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Your popularity is certainly increasing! This year and most of next year, you will schmooze much more than usual. Join clubs, groups and associations.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Because lucky Jupiter is slowly traveling across the top of your chart, you can really boost your reputation with your peers. Expect promotions and praise in the next 18 months.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Travel opportunities will fall in your lap this year and next. Make sure your passport is current. It looks like you’re going places!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You definitely can benefit from the wealth and resources of others at this time. In the next 12 to 18 months, inheritances, gifts and advantages from others will come your way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Relationships have never been better than they are right now. Until the fall of 2013, all partnerships are blessed and casual relationships could become committed.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You definitely can improve your job or get a better job in the next 18 months.

Your chances to do this are better than they have been in more than a decade.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Romance, love affairs, vacations and fun times promise you joy and thrills in the coming year. Lucky you! (Mom always liked you best.)

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) The next 18 months is an excellent time for real-estate opportunities for your sign. It’s also a very happy time for your family and home life.

YOU BORN TODAY You have a natural style that exudes confidence and charm. You are aware of your public image and carefully choose what to reveal or hide. You are more complex than you look, which is why you are misunderstood. You often influence those around you. Expect a change in the coming year, perhaps as significant as something that occurred around 2003.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Saturday, Aug. 18, the 231st day of 2012.

There are 135 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight: On Aug. 18, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, which guaranteed the right of all American women to vote, was ratified as Tennessee became the 36th state to approve it.

On this date: In 1862, Dakota Indians began an uprising in Minnesota (the revolt was crushed by U.S.

forces some six weeks later).

In 1938, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Canadian Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King dedicated the Thousand Islands Bridge connecting the United States and Canada.

In 1963, James Meredith became the first black student to graduate from the University of Mississippi.

In 1969, the Woodstock Music and Art Fair in Bethel, N.Y., wound to a close after three nights with a mid-morning set by

Jimi Hendrix.

In 1987, American journalist Charles Glass escaped his kidnappers in Beirut after 62 days in captivity. (Glass had been abducted June 17 with two Lebanese who were released after a week.)

Ten years ago: In a tearful farewell Mass in his beloved Krakow, Pope John Paul II told more than 2 million Poles that he would like to return one day but that “this is entirely in God’s hands.”

Infiltration or bad blood behind Afghan attacks?

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The U.S. military trainers handed the new recruit, Mohammad Ismail, his AK-47 to defend his remote Afghan village. He turned around and immediately used it, spraying the Americans with bullets and killing two — the latest of nine U.S. service personnel gunned down in two weeks by their supposed Afghan allies.

The shooting in western Farah province was not the only such attack Friday.

Hours later a few provinces away in Kandahar, an Afghan soldier wounded two more coalition servicemen.

One turncoat attack per month raised eyebrows last year. One per week caused concern earlier this year.

But when Afghan forces turn their guns on international trainers twice in a day as they now have two weeks in a row it’s hard to argue there’s not something going on. The question is, what is it?

The U.S.-led alliance says it’s too soon to tell what’s behind the rash of insider attacks. The most likely explanations: Either the Taliban are increasingly infiltrating the Afghan police and army, or relations between Afghan and

American forces are turning toxic — or both.

“There’s no positive spin on this,” said Andrew Exum, an analyst with the Washington-based Center for a New American Security who has advised the top U.S. generals in Kabul. He said the number of Afghan insider attacks has risen beyond what can be explained as isolated incidents.

That’s bad news for the U.S. exit strategy for Afghanistan, which has seen Washington spend more than $20 billion on training and equipping a nearly 340,000-member Afghan

security force on the assumption that it would eventually be strong enough to fight the Taliban on its own.

The coalition has downplayed the insider attacks as anomalies and mostly a result of personal grievances, even as their numbers soared from 11 last year to 29 so far in 2012.

The alliance says only about 10 percent of the attacks were related to infiltration by the Taliban insurgency. But that analysis was done before the latest furious spate of seven attacks in 11 days, a frequency that suggests some

type of coordination.

“Whether or not these specific events turn out to be insurgent-initiated … we’re just going to have to do the investigations and figure that out,” said Jamie Graybeal, a spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition.

The problem has become so pronounced in the Afghan war that all U.S. forces there are now being instructed to carry loaded weapons even on base as a precaution against insider attacks, a U.S. official said Friday in Washington. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because policy forbids discussing mili-

tary procedures.

Some historians are hard-pressed to find precedent for this in previous wars.

“I have never heard of anything in Vietnam comparable to what we have recently experienced in Afghanistan,” said James McAllister, a political science professor at Williams College in Massachusetts who has written extensively about the Vietnam War. A British military expert on colonial wars, Martin Windrow, said the level of these types of attacks were “almost unheard of” in any conflict he’d studied.

Activists get two years for anti-Putin church stunt Friday, a decision that drew protests around the world as it highlighted the Russian president’s intensifying crackdown on dissent.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Putin couldn’t intervene in the judicial process and refused to comment on the sentence.

When the sentence was announced, shouts of “down with the police state” rose from a crowd of hundreds of Pussy Riot supporters outside the courtroom. More than 50 people were detained.

105 Announcements

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees).

The scammer's check is and eventually fake bounces and the seller loses the wired amount.

While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks.

Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

Troy girls cap off week with split Staff Reports

MIAMI COUNTY

FAIRBORN — It was a solid end to a long week.

The Troy Trojans finished off a busy first week of the season on Friday with a tri-match at Greene Country Club against Miamisburg and Fairborn and earned a split, shooting 203 to Miamisburg’s 178 and host Fairborn’s 218.

“The kids are probably pretty tired,” Troy coach Eric Nawroth

said. “It’s been a busy week.”

Caroline Elsass-Smith led the way with a 47, Caitlin Dowling shot 49, Victoria Ries posted a 53 — the first time she her score has counted to the team score this year — and Allison Brown capped off the scoring with a 54. Morgan McKinney added a 60 and Taylor Ries shot a 63.

“It was the first time she

(Victoria Ries) got into the top four this season. She was pretty excited about that,” Nawroth said.

Miamisburg was led by Molly Skapic who broke par with a 35.

Skapic remains the only person to defeat Tippecanoe’s Lindsey Murray all year in an 18-hole tournament, accomplishing that at the Covington Invitational.

“Miamisburg is a team we’d love to compete with,” Nawroth said. “You just do your best against

Bengals waive Shipley CINCINNATI (AP) — The Bengals have waived receiver Jordan Shipley, who was limited in training camp while he recovered from reconstructive knee surgery.

Shipley was Cincinnati’s starting slot receiver before he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee Sept. 18. He wasn’t cleared to practice fully until July 30. A third-round pick in 2010, he had one catch for 4 yards in the Bengals’ two preseason games.

The Bengals also waived kicker Thomas Weber on Friday.

Kicker Mike Nugent signed a one-year tender offer as the team’s franchise player in April.

He was bothered by a sore hamstring at the start of training camp, giving Weber a chance to kick.

The tri-match also served another purpose — Troy plays at Greene Country Club again Monday in the Skyhawk Invitational.

“This was a good thing because we’ll see this course again Monday,” Nawroth said. “It was a great learning experience. No we’re ready to rock and roll on Monday.”

Dragons Lair DAYTON — Lake County starting pitcher Mason Radeke allowed only two base runners over six shutout innings as the Captains defeated the Dayton Dragons 5-3 on Friday night in front of a crowd of 8,560 at Fifth Third Field.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Bronson Arroyo hasn’t seen many good second halves in his seven seasons with the Cincinnati Reds, so the veteran right-hander is trying to enjoy this one as much as he can.

Arroyo shook off a shaky start, Todd Frazier hit a two-run home run and Ryan Ludwick and Jay Bruce added solo shots as the Reds beat the Chicago Cubs 7-3 in the opener of a fourgame weekend series on Friday night.

Cincinnati, coming off a loss to the New York Mets on Thursday that snapped a fivegame winning streak, began the day leading the NL Central by six games and improved to a major league-best 25-9 since the All-Star break.

“Usually, we’ve had big slides in the second half, and that’s taken the wind out of our sails,” Arroyo said. “This year, we feel

like the ball’s always rolling in your direction.”

Manager Dusty Baker liked knowing the Reds would at least pick up ground on one of their two closest pursuers with second-place Pittsburgh playing at third-place St. Louis.

“Any time you win, it’s good, but with the Pirates playing the Cardinals, you know you’re going to pick up ground on somebody,” he said.

Arroyo (9-7) has been a big part of the surge, improving to 51 in his last six starts. He gave up nine hits and three runs with three walks, three strikeouts and a wild pitch in 6 1-3 innings.

Jose Arredondo, Jonathan Broxton and Aroldis Chapman combined to pitch scoreless relief the rest of the way.

TROY DAILY NEWS • WWW..TDN-NET. TROYDAILYNEWS COM .COM WHAT’S AHEAD:

Still sponsors National Guard to keep repping Earnhardt Jr. BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) — The Army National Guard is staying on as a sponsor of Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s No. 88 NASCAR Sprint Cup team.

Hendrick Motorsports said Friday it has extended its relationship with the National Guard through the 2013 season.

“I think that it’s good for our team and good for the sport. We’re excited that they’re ready to be on board for the next season,” Earnhardt said Friday at Michigan International Speedway, where he’ll race Sunday. “I feel comfortable that we’re set and we can move forward.”

The contract was scheduled to expire at the end of 2012.

Last month, Congress rejected a bid by Reps. Jack Kingston, R-Ga., and Betty McCollum, D-Minn., to trim $72.3 million for sports sponsorships from a $608 billion defense bill for fiscal 2013.

The measure had targeted the money the National Guard spends to sponsor Earnhardt, as well as IndyCar Series driver JR Hildebrand.

Kingston insisted that the sponsorship money was ineffective, attracting few recruits, but he and McCollum faced strong opposition from members of North Carolina’s congressional delegation as well as lawmakers from Mississippi and Florida.

Sports leagues such as NASCAR, IndyCar, Major League Baseball, the National Football League and the National Basketball Association sent a letter to Republican and Democratic leaders urging them to oppose the amendment.

Earnhardt didn’t sound worried about the possibility the legislation could be revisited.

“I was real happy to have the Guard sign, and I expected them to continue to be part of the program. We’ve had a real positive relationship, and they’ve been real excited about what we’ve been able to do,” he said. “We’ve got some great ideas coming up that we just started implementing this past week, where we’re going to visit high schools and talk to kids and the parents and the principals and getting the Guard an opportunity to have more access at that level, so we’re doing some good things.

“That was a lot of fun. That was the first time I’ve been to a high school to talk to a group like that, so I enjoyed that.”

Crew chief Paul Wolfe smiles in the garage during practice for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race Aug. 10 at Watkins Glen International in Watkins Glen, N.Y.

Hungry like the Wolfe Crew chief and Keselowski make dynamic duo WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) — When Paul Wolfe decided to give NASCAR a try, he made sure he had a backup plan.

“I became a certified welder,” Wolfe said. “I never really thought driving would ever provide me a chance. The opportunity to work on cars was more realistic. I wasn’t really thinking about driving when I got into it.”

It’s good to be a realist.

Since moving from baseball country in upstate New York — Wolfe grew up in Milford, a stone’s throw from Cooperstown — to North Carolina in 1996 to give stock car racing a try, Wolfe has put in long hours working for Joe Gibbs, Tommy Baldwin, and Ray Evernham, among others, gaining valuable hands-on experience.

Now, he’s crew chief of the No. 2 Dodge driven by Brad Keselowski for Penske Racing in the Sprint Cup series, and a force in the NASCAR garage.

“I tried to learn from everybody,” said Wolfe, who did drive in the Camping World East and Nationwide Series from 2000-05,

notching eight top-fives but no wins before concentrating on becoming a crew chief. “You can never stop learning in this sport. It’s always changing.”

After also working for Fitz Racing and CJM Racing, Wolfe signed in November 2009 with Penske, which was starting a new Nationwide team for Keselowski.

“Paul was taking less and doing a lot more with it at other race teams before he got the opportunity to go to a team like Penske Racing, where they’ve got good equipment,” said Steve Addington, crew chief for reigning Cup champion Tony Stewart and a close friend of Wolfe.

“I think he was showing everybody that he kind of knew what he was doing. He’s got a good, core group that’s been with him through the steps. He’s keeping that group together, and that’s the smart thing to do. You know they’ve got your back. That’s the cool part of having team chemistry from the bottom to the top.”

That chemistry has been magical.

During the 2010 Nationwide sea-

son, Keselowski scored six wins, five poles and a series-record 26 top-five finishes on the way to a 445-point victory in the final point standings behind the wheel of Wolfe-prepared cars, giving Roger Penske his first NASCAR championship.

“Paul’s very confident in what he does with a race car, and Brad believes in everything he does,” Addington said. “That’s a pair to watch in this sport for a long time.”

Wolfe moved up to the Sprint Cup series last year and Keselowski, despite a broken foot suffered in testing at midseason, posted three victories to qualify for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, NASCAR’s version of a postseason.

“We had success right away,” said Wolfe, now 35, whose dad raced modifieds and put him in a go-kart at age 11. “From there we continued to build our relationship and understand each other more and more.

We’re still learning. Brad pushes me to be better.”

Great drivers always have a secret weapon that most of their competitors can only marvel at a great crew chief.

MONTREAL (AP) — The last time Danica Patrick and Jacques Villeneuve crossed paths on a Nationwide road course, she was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Now she gets to race against him again Saturday on a track named after his dad. The NAPA 200 is the third and final road race of the Nationwide season, and Villeneuve is on pole.

“It is what it is,” Patrick said Friday before qualifying a solid fourth, putting her in the second row alongside Villeneuve and just behind polesitter Alex Tagliani. “It’s frustrating. I think it can get you down, and it does get you down a little bit. But the schedule keeps coming at you.

You need to have a positive attitude. You need to look at each weekend as the weekend that you could turn it around, have great luck and come back from the last one.”

Lady luck has yet to smile on Patrick this season on a road course.

At Road America in June, Villeneuve collided with Patrick on the last lap as the two drivers were battling for a top-five finish, causing Patrick’s car to spin out.

Villeneuve finished sixth, while Patrick recovered and finished 12th. Last week at Watkins Glen, Patrick was collected on the first turn by Ryan Truex and finished last.

“It was disappointing at Elkhart Lake,” said Patrick, who finished 24th in her first NASCAR road race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve last year. “It was a good race and it would have been nice to have come home where we worked hard to be all day. It wasn’t a surprise, though. I actually had in my notes from watching the race the year before. I wrote a bunch of different things and one of them was, ‘Turn 5, first gear, Villeneuve.’

I had just gotten into first gear.”

Patrick’s first full year in the Nationwide series in the No. 7 Chevy for JR Motorsports has had its ups and downs. She won the pole at Daytona for the first race of the season but crashed and finished 38th. She qualified third and finished 13th at Charlotte and was third on the grid for the second Daytona race, led 14 laps, crashed again, and finished 31st. She also led the race at Road America and heading into Saturday’s race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve sits 11th in the standings, six points behind Joe Nemechek in 10th.

Chase has already begun for some on outside BROOKLYN, Mich.

(AP) — Some of NASCAR’s biggest names are trying to keep their championship hopes alive and the Chase for the Sprint Cup is still about a month away.

Carl Edwards, Kyle Busch and Jeff Gordon would all be on the outside looking in if the Chase started now. They have four races to change that, starting this weekend at Michigan International Speedway.

“We don’t feel there is a better race track on the circuit to come to when we need a win than Michigan,” Edwards said.

“We have had a lot of success here.”

Edwards has won twice at this track, and another victory Sunday would put him in great shape in what Gordon called the “chase for the Chase.” The top 10 drivers advance, along with the two with the most wins who are between 11th and 20th in the points

standings.

Edwards is 12th in points but has no victories this year. Busch and Gordon have a victory apiece but are 14th and 15th, just behind Ryan Newman for the second wild card spot.

Kasey Kahne, who is in 11th place, has two wins and is in line for one wild card spot at this point.

Newman is 13th with one victory.

Newman said he still doesn’t have any news on a

new sponsor for next season, and missing the 10race Chase would be tough to take this year.

“We’ve made it and we’ve not made it. When we don’t make it, it’s frustrating to go through those last 10 races,” Newman said. “In the past it hasn’t changed our perspective on the next season. But this year I think it’s a little bit different. It has weight but it doesn’t change the way I race, doesn’t change my mentality when I get in the

racecar or when I get out of the racecar. It’s all about doing my job as a driver.”

Gordon hasn’t missed the Chase since 2005, and Edwards hasn’t been left out since 2006. Busch has made it the last two years.

Busch nearly picked up what would have been a huge victory last weekend at Watkins Glen, but he skidded wide coming out of a turn on the final lap on an oil-smeared track, and Marcos Ambrose won in a chaotic finish.

S. Williams upset in Mason MASON (AP) — Only one of the Williams sisters is heading to a semifinal, and it’s not the one with the long winning streak. Serena Williams lost that — and her cool — at the Western & Southern Open.

Williams had her 19match streak snapped by Germany’s Angelique Kerber on Friday, a 6-4, 6-4 defeat that marked the first time she’d even lost a set since her title at Wimbledon. The thirdlongest winning streak of her career didn’t end quietly.

AP PHOTO She flung her racket at Serena Williams returns a shot to Urszula the ground, picked it up and Radwanska during a match at the Western & slammed it on the court Southern Open tennis tournament on Friday in again as the second set Mason. slipped away.

“I probably need a break,” she said.

While Serena fumed over missed shots, older sister Venus had another jump-for-joy day.

She reached the semifinals of a tournament for the first time this season by beating Samantha Stosur 6-2, 6-7 (2), 6-4.

On the men’s side, Novak Djokovic and Juan Martin del Potro won in straight sets, setting up a rematch of their bronze medal match at the Olympics. Del Potro won that one.

After all of her summer success on Wimbledon’s grass, Serena Williams is having a tough time getting readjusted to hard surfaces.

One of the best stretches of

her career included single and doubles gold medals at the Olympics in London.

She came into Friday’s match with a 64-4 record in the summer hard-court season over the last two years.

Against Kerber, her game fell apart.

She missed so many easy shots that after she hit an overhead that landed in the court, she smiled and raised her arms in mock triumph.

Her sister thinks the last few weeks have caught up with her.

“She’s played so many matches since Wimbledon,” Venus Williams said, as her sister struggled on the court. “I don’t think anyone has played as many matches and played as successful-

ly as her.

“I think some rest is in order for her.”

Wearing an Olympics shirt after her match, Serena Williams agreed she needs a little time to get recharged for the U.S. Open.

“I’ll be better in New York, I promise,” she said.

First, she’s going to stick around to watch her sister’s resurgence. Venus Williams raised both arms and jumped — kicking up her heels — after winning a three-setter for the third time in the tournament, an indication she’s learning to manage an immune system disorder that leaves her tired.

She’ll play China’s Li Na in the semifinals.

■ CONTINUED FROM 14 Hopefully we got that all out of our system this week — that’s what scrimmages are for.”

Once Troy settled down, it rolled to a 13-6 win over Dunbar in three quarters of varsity action. In addition, the Trojans added two touchdowns in the junior varsity portion of the scrimmage.

“You saw the nerves early on,” Brewer said.

“Once we got those under wraps, we were fine.”

Troy’s offense sputtered on its first three drives on the scrimmage, going three and out on its first drive, then losing a pair of fumbles deep in its own territory on its next two.

There was good news, however, as the defense rose to the occassion all three times. After Troy fumbled away the ball on its own 17 on the second drive of the scrimmage, Dunbar drove to the Trojan 5-yard line before the defense stiffened and Dunbar missed a 22-yard field goal attempt. After Troy lost its second fumble at its own 27, Troy’s defense again responded, with junior defensive end Seth Overla pouncing on a Dunbar fumble to thwart that drive.

“Our defense played good all around,” Brewer said.

“That’s a solid group. They get to the ball. We don’t have a lot of size on that side of the ball, but we’ve got speed.”

Troy’s offense finally found its footing on its fourth drive of the scrimmage. The Trojans picked up their first first downs of the game on a run by senior Devin Blakely and a pass from junior quarterback Matt Barr to Blakely. A 40yard pass from Barr to tight end Overla set up a 1-yard touchdown run by senior tailback Fred Whitson.

The Trojans would add a second touchdown later in the second quarter when Barr found another Trojan tight end, Ian Nadolny, on a 28-yard touchdown pass.

“We’ve got good tight ends,” Brewer said. “We wanted to get Overla some time (on offense) to see how

■ CONTINUED FROM 14 streaky former teammate Travis Wood (4-9), who has lost his last six decisions after winning four straight starts.

Luis Valbuena led off the second with his fourth homer of the season and first since June 29 against Houston. His 418-foot fly into the right-center field seats gave Chicago a 1-0 lead.

The Reds tied it in the bottom of the inning when Frazier scored from second on Wood’s error as he tried to handle first baseman Anthony Rizzo’s throw on Ryan Hanigan’s grounder.

Chicago capitalized on another Reds fielding misplay to take a 3-1 lead in the fourth. After Castro led off with a single and Valbuena flied out, Brett Jackson hit a line drive to second baseman Brandon Phillips that got away from him after he appeared to be distracted by the passing Castro.

Castro went to third on what was ruled a single and scored on a wild pitch to Steve Clevenger, who then walked. Wood drove Jackson in from second with a single to center for the pitcher’s first RBI of the season.

The Reds then got five runs and six hits in the bottom half of the inning, starting with Ludwick’s 23rd homer of the season, a 425-foot drive into the left field seats on Wood’s first pitch of the inning.

Wood hit Bruce with a pitch, and Frazier gave the Reds a 4-3 lead by hitting a 2-2 pitch 419 feet into the left field seats for his 16th homer of the season.

“I couldn’t really tell you what was going on,” Frazier said. “He throws that cutter a lot. I was sitting on it. That was a big five-run inning for us.”

Cincinnati added two runs with two outs on doubles by Arroyo and Zack Cozart and a triple

Dunbar would score a touchdown early in the third quarter. Both varsity squads would remain scoreless through the rest of the third quarter.

In the junior varsity portion of the scrimmage, Troy would add on two more touchdowns on a pair of scoring runs by sophomore Brandon Lee — one a 65yard run and the other on a 25-yard scamper.

“Brandon Lee runs the ball hard,” Brewer said. “If anything happens to any of our varsity running backs, he’s the next kid we put in there on varsity.”

a while, but we answered back when they scored,” Baker said. “We were on (Wood) pretty good in that inning.”

Wood allowed more runs and hits in that inning than the five hits and one run he allowed in seven innings against Cincinnati last Sunday in Chicago.

“The doors fell off,” he said. “We took a game plan out there, and I didn’t make adjustments soon enough.”

Friday’s Wood obviously wasn’t the same as last Sunday’s, Cubs manager Dale Sveum said.

“He probably spent everything he had in that last outing,” Sveum said.

“He velocity was down, and his pitches were flat.

He went into a gunfight with a knife.”

Bruce hit Wood’s 0-1 pitch 411 feet into the right-field seats with one out in the fifth for his 25th homer of the season.

The streaky Wood, traded with two other players by Cincinnati to Chicago for pitcher Sean Marshall during the offlasted five season, innings, getting roughed up for nine hits and seven runs six earned with three strikeouts.

NOTES: RHP Todd Redmond is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Saturday to start the second game for the Reds in their split doubleheader against the Cubs. Redmond, acquired from Atlanta for INF Paul Janish on July 14, has been recalled three times by two teams this season, but he’s still waiting to make his major league debut. … The Cubs are expected to recall LHP Brooks Raley from Triple-A Iowa to face Redmond. … Hall of Fame second baseman Joe Morgan flipped the coin to determine who would serve first for Friday’s Western & Southern Open tennis quarterfinal match between Serena Williams and Angelique Kerber in suburban Cincinnati.

Browns’ Weeden shows spunk during preseason BEREA (AP) — Brandon Weeden won’t let a 2-0 record as Cleveland’s starting quarterback take his breath away.

A hard hit to the chest did that.

“I feel good,” Weeden said Friday after a brisk walkthrough.

So do the Browns, who are brimming with confidence following a 35-10 win Thursday at Green Bay over a team expected to be a Super Bowl contender.

Weeden and coach Pat Shurmur both cautioned it’s only the preseason.

There is a load of work to do, yet it was evident both are pleased with the progress.

“To be able to go into a storied football environ-

ment and win a game it’s a preseason game, I get that that’s an important thing,” Shurmur said. “I saw a lot of young guys playing fast, playing hard and enjoying the experience.”

Still, Shurmur was far from satisfied.

“There were a few gimmes in the game or layups so to speak,” he said, “that we didn’t take advantage of.”

Fewer dropped passes and better reads by Weeden would have helped, so Shurmur spent half of the light practice working on mistakes.

Among those participating after missing the win with injuries were receivers Mohammed Massaquoi and Travis

Benjamin.

Running back Trent Richardson, picked No. 3 overall, remains out after left knee surgery on Aug. 9. Montario Hardesty started in Richardson’s place and fumbled on the Browns’ first play, leading to a Green Bay touchdown.

The Browns (No. 30 in the AP Pro32) and Hardesty quickly bounced back. So did Weeden a little later, after getting hit hard by unblocked cornerback Brandian Ross on a blitz.

“I was surprised,” Weeden said. “I just lost my breath. I tried to call the next play in the huddle and couldn’t even spit out a word. My offensive line was laughing at me. I

was hurting there for a second, but I feel 100 percent healthy.”

Defensive back Trevin Wade, taken from the game on a cart, took part in practice, though a few didn’t take the field due to what Shurmur termed “game soreness.”

While Weeden’s development continues to be the main focus of training camp, the overall play on defense is a key reason why the Browns are a preseason 2-0 for the first time since 2005. The Browns have forced six turnovers already.

“Our defensive coaches have done a nice job of emphasizing that when the ball is in the air, don’t deflect it, pick it,” Shurmur said. “We’ve

recovered fumbles and there’s nothing more devastating than obviously sacking the quarterback or turning the ball over.”

Weeden went 12 for 20 passing for 118 yards and did not have a turnover much better than his 3for-9 with a fumble and interception in Detroit for his debut.

“I got 40 plays in and got into some rhythm,” he said. “My second quarter was better than my first.

Everybody was criticizing me for 15 plays (the previous week). I read my Twitter. Some of it is comical.”

Weeden said that just as he didn’t get down after the Detroit game, the 28year-old is not feeling cocky after beating the

Packers, either.

“Regardless how old I am, it’s still a big jump (from college),” he said.

“We’re still trying to get better at the fundamentals, the basics.”

Shurmur said Weeden’s progress is obvious, though a good measuring stick will come next Friday against Philadelphia. The Eagles use a similar defensive scheme as the Lions.

Weeden will have a chance to show if he has fixed the flaws he had against Detroit’s defense.

The other trick to the Eagles game is this: Don’t expect to see a lot on either side, as the two teams will meet again to open the regular season Sept. 9.
