CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — A judge on Friday sentenced the mastermind of the largest known organic food fraud scheme in U.S. history to 10 years in prison, saying he cheated thousands of customers into buying products they didn't want. U.S. District Judge C.J. Williams said Randy Constant orchestrated a massive fraud that did "extreme and incalculable damage" to consumers and shook public confidence in the nation's organic food industry. Williams said that, between 2010 and 2017, consumers nationwide were fooled into paying extra to buy products ranging from eggs to steak that they believed were better for the environment and their own health. Instead, they unwittingly purchased food that relied on farming practices, including the use of chemical pesticides to grow crops, that they opposed. "Thousands upon thousands of consumers paid for products they did not get and paid for products they did not want," Williams said. "This has caused incalculable damage to the confidence the American public has in organic products." Williams said the scam harmed other organic farmers who were playing by the rules but could not compete with the low prices offered by Constant's Iowa-based grain brokerage, and middlemen who unknowingly purchased and marketed tainted organic grain. Williams ordered Constant, a 60-year-old farmer and former school board president from Chillicothe, Missouri, to serve 122 months in federal prison, as his wife and other relatives sobbed. Earlier in the day, Williams gave shorter prison terms to three Overton, Nebraska, farmers whom Constant recruited to join the scheme. Williams described the three as largely law-abiding citizens, including one "legitimate war hero," who succumbed to greed when Constant gave them the opportunity. Michael Potter, 41, was ordered to serve 24 months behind bars; James Brennan, 41, was sentenced to 20 months; and his father, 71-year-old Tom Brennan, was given a three-month sentence. Williams said the shorter sentence for the elder Brennan reflected his heroism as a decorated platoon leader in the Vietnam War. All four farmers sentenced Friday had pleaded guilty to wire fraud charges and cooperated with a two-year investigation that isn't over. A fifth

SSRD Contract Approved

2019 Levy Set At Spickard The Spickard Board of Aldermen approved the 2019 tax levy as well as a new contract with the Spickard Special Road District during a meeting on Aug. 13. According to minutes provided by City Clerk Amy Chapman, the board set the 2019 levy at 99.17 cents on the $100 assessed valuation. The tax is anticipated to generate $48,650 in local tax revenue for the city, based upon the current assessed valuation of $1,348,604. The valuation for 2019 is $15,185 less than a year ago. Approval was given to a one-year contract with the road district, which went into effect on Aug. 13. The contract calls for the cost of street lights to be deducted from the motor fuel tax

SPORTS NFL PRESEASON

Emotional Steelers Top Chiefs, 17-7 PITTSBURGH (AP) â€” The shirts read "shut out the noise." Shutting out the pain of suddenly losing the man behind the mantra will take far longer for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Still, there was something about the game-day routine that brought a sense of relief and normalcy just six days removed from the death of wide receivers coach Darryl Drake. The receivers walked out to pregame warmups wearing gear with "shut out the noise" emblazoned on them, the phrase Drake adopted for his group heading into the 2019 season. The Steelers took the field with "DD" stickers on their helmets, stickers that will remain there all season. Players gathered on the sideline to kneel in prayer. A moment of silence was held just before the national anthem. Then the ball was kicked off and Pittsburgh went back to work, keeping Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in check in a 17-7 victory on Saturday night. "It's just been a very difficult week," said Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, who attended Drake's funeral in Tennessee along with general manager Kevin Colbert early Saturday before returning in time to lead his team to its second preseason victory in as many weeks. "If anything the game is kind of a break from that. You get

lost in the things that you need to do." And what the Steelers (2-0) need to do over the next two weeks is figure out who will be the backup to starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. So far, Tomlin has seen little separation between Josh Dobbs and Mason Rudolph. Rudolph guided a long firsthalf touchdown drive and finished 10 of 15 for 77 yards while Dobbs completed 6 of 11 for 95 yards with a red-zone interception on a night the Steelers (2-0) opted to keep several key starters on the sideline, from Roethlisberger to Pro Bowl offensive linemen David DeCastro and Maurkice Pouncey to rookie linebacker Devin Bush, who was held out because of a shoulder issue. Asked if Rudolph, is ahead of Dobbs, Tomlin shook his head. "Not as we sit here right now," Tomlin said. Not that any of it matters when Week 1 rolls around. Roethlisberger is firmly entrenched as the starter for 15 years and counting. The same is true in Kansas City, where Mahomes is coming off an MVP season. Unlike Roethlisberger, Mahomes hasn't yet earned the right to take most of the preseason off. The third-year pro completed just 2 of 5 passes for 11 yards in two series, a far cry from his previous visit to

Heinz Field, when he threw for six touchdowns in a Week 2 win last September that served as a harbinger of the season to come. "Yeah, that'll all get worked out," Reid said when asked about Mahomes' performance. "Everyone can't be perfect." Mahomes' best play during his cameo may have been his decision to slide during an 8yard scramble, something he didn't do a week ago when he lowered his shoulder against Cincinnati rather than step out of bounds. Chad Henne found Mecole Hardman for a 17-yard touchdown late in the first half for Kansas City (1-1), which managed a lone touchdown a week after putting up 38 against the Bengals. Hardman, a secondround pick, has two touchdowns in two weeks and his rapid emergence could give Reid another option to play with in what could be the NFL's most potent offense. Rudolph, a third-round pick a year ago who is hoping to supplant Dobbs as the top backup, was given the start instead. Playing with a group that included Pro Bowl running back James Conner and star wide receiver JuJu SmithSchuster, Rudolph struggled early to gain some momentum. It wasn't until Rudolph found himself playing with the reserves that he started to get going. He directed a 14-play, 89-yard drive in the second quarter, a series that ended with a 14-yard sprint to the end zone by Jaylen Samuels. Dobbs started off brilliantly, hitting James Washington for a 40-yard gain. He couldn't sustain the momentum, thanks in

part to an interception in which he overthrew Diontae Johnson. The ball sailed into the arms of Kansas City's Charvarius Ward to cut short a scoring chance late in the first half. Johnson, a third-round pick, ended up scoring in the fourth quarter when he made a diving grab in the end zone on a heave from fourth-stringer Devlin Hodges, a catch that would have drawn a nod of approval from Drake. "It was emotional for the receiver group," Johnson said. "We all know what Coach Drake did for us as a whole group. We know he is with us each and every day. We're just dedicating this season for him." THIS BUD'S FOR YOU? Steelers outside linebacker Bud Dupree is entering the season with a significant amount of pressure after Pittsburgh opted to pick up his fifth-year option, but have not approached him about signing a long-term deal. Dupree provided a spark, sacking Mahomes and Henne and knocking down a pass. TRAINER'S ROOM Chiefs: S Tyrann Mathieu (shoulder), WR Deon Yelder (knee), WR Marcus Kemp (knee) and LB Breeland Speaks (knee) all left and did not return. Reid said Kemp's injury appeared to be the most serious. Steelers: RB Benny Snell Jr. (groin) and LB Anthony Chickillo (knee) left. OLB Ola Adeniyi was held out. UP NEXT Chiefs: Host San Francisco next Saturday. Steelers: Visit Tennessee next Sunday.

MEDINAH, Ill. (AP) â€” For the fifth time in the last six years, August on the PGA Tour means no more Tiger Woods for the rest of the year. Only now he's healthy. He also is the Masters champion. And that makes it a season he wouldn't trade. "Very special to win my 15th major and get my fifth jacket," Woods said Sunday. "Those are special moments to be able to have an opportunity like that. And the rest of the tournaments I didn't really play as well as I wanted. But at the end of the day, I'm the one with the green jacket." Rarely has Woods smiled so wide after not meeting a goal. His season ended at Medinah, where he won two PGA Championship titles at the peak of his game and his health. He closed with an even-par 72 in the BMW Championship and tied for 37th, nowhere near what he needed to move into the top 30 in the FedEx Cup and advance to the season-ending Tour Championship next week at East Lake. "It's disappointing," Woods said about not returning to Atlanta. "I wish I could have. Last year culminated in a pretty special moment for me, and it would have been nice to go back there. But I'll be watching the guys on TV." It will be the 15th time in his career that Woods did not show up to defend a title on the PGA Tour, remarkable considering that Fred Couples only won 15 times in his career. The other occasions of not defending a title usually involved a change in the schedule, a tournament ending or health reasons. This is the first time because he wasn't eligible. He started the PGA Tour postseason at No. 28, but withdrew after a 75 in the first round at Liberty National with what he called a mild oblique strain. That dropped him to No. 38 in the FedEx Cup, and he finished at No. 42. It was mildly surprising Woods even made it to Medinah to give it a try, and he looked fairly normal, except for some rust. He gave it his best shot at returning to the scene of perhaps the biggest moment in golf last year â€” a

victory at East Lake, with thousands of fans spilling inside the ropes to watch Woods cap off his comeback from four back surgeries by beating the best players. And then he did it again where it really matters â€” a major. Woods needed some help from Francesco Molinari's tee shot into Rae's Creek on the 12th hole in the final round, and similar blunders by Brooks Koepka and Tony Finau, but he looked like the Woods of old instead of an old Woods with his mistake-free finish for a 15th major, his first in 11 years. Just like that, the count to Jack Nicklaus and his 18 majors was on again. Instead, that was as good as it got. He spoke vaguely of his back not being right in the cold of Bethpage Black for the PGA Championship in May, his first tournament since the Masters. He never got on track at Pebble Beach for the U.S. Open. After another long break, he missed the cut at the British Open and then simply wanted to get home. But he won the Masters, and that makes up for a lot. "It's like I told him coming off 18, he's got the jacket. That's all that matters," caddie Joe LaCava said. "I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't disappointed with the second half of the season. If I was happy and satisfied, I shouldn't be in the industry." LaCava also has a sense of how Woods is feeling at age 43 with eight surgeries â€” four on his knee through 2008, four on his back since 2014. "By the time we get around to next year, he'll be refocused and be ready and get after it," La Cava said. The season is over. The year is not. Woods heads home for a nine-week break before returning for the first PGA Tour event in Japan in October. He has his Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas the first week of December, followed by his role as U.S. captain in the Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne. He did not make the team. It would be surprising if he picked himself for one of his four captain's choices. Woods finished the season with 12 tournaments, his shortest PGA Tour season when healthy without any outside distractions.

Betty Sue Brassfield Betty Sue â€œGranny Sueâ€? Brassfield was called home to be with her Lord on Saturday, Aug, 17, 2019 shortly after eating her evening meal with her tablemates. After becoming ill, her daughter, Jane, was able to be by her side when she passed. Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 30, 2019 at Resthaven Mortuary of Trenton. Burial will be in the Resthaven Memorial Gardens, north of Trenton. An open visitation will be held from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 22, 2019 at the mortuary. Betty Sue was born on Nov. 10, 1927 in Linn County to Cecil and Lena Miller Reed. She attended school in Meadville and graduated in 1942. She then attended college at Truman State University and received a teaching degree. In 1946, Sue and her parents moved east of Trenton. Sue taught in one-room schools in the Trenton area. In her spare time, she began making friends and enjoying the friendship of the Brassfield sisters, Marge and Marianna. Little did she know that they had an older brother, J.A., who was overseas serving in the Army. When J.A. was discharged, he returned home to Trenton and their relationship turned into their marriage on Nov. 25, 1948. J.A. passed on Feb. 11, 2011 after 62 years of marriage. Sue was unable to stay in their home and had been a resident of the Sunnyview Apartments since February 2011. J.A. and Sue had three children, Jane, Tom and Nancy.

worked tirelessly together to make it successful. The family attended Honey Creek Chapel Church, where Sue taught Sunday school and helped start the Vacation Bible School held each summer. Sue spent many hours taking her children to piano lessons, band practices and performances and to 4-H meetings. Every summer, the Brassfields enjoyed showing their dairy cattle at all the surrounding fairs. Sue was always supervising her children and helping make the cattle look perfect for the show ring.

Fraud

farmer has also pleaded guilty in the case and is awaiting sentencing. The farmers grew traditional corn and soybeans, mixed them with a small amount of certified organic grains, and falsely marketed them all as certified organic by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Most of the grains were sold as animal feed to companies that marketed or-

ganic meat and meat products. The farmers reaped more than $120 million in proceeds from sales of the tainted grain. The scheme may have involved up to 7 percent of organic corn grown in the U.S. in 2016 and 8 percent of the organic soybeans, prosecutors said. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Organic Program requires crops to be grown without the use of fertilizers, sewage sludge and other substances.

The Cornucopia Institute, an organic industry watchdog group, has been critical of the USDA for being too lenient with producers who flout its standards. Violations are typically handled through USDA enforcement action that can bring fines, revocations and bans. But federal criminal charges are rare, said the group's director, Mark Kastel. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jacob Schunk said that under the scheme, consumers paid at least $250 million for fraudulent organic products — and perhaps $1 billion or more. He said that Constant for years exploited an organic certification system that relies on the honesty of farmers and private certifiers. "He saw the weakness in the system and he exploited it over and over again," Schunk said. He noted that Constant had admitted in a court filing to spending some of the money on vacations and repeated trips to Las Vegas. Constant, whose wife of 39 years was in the courtroom Friday, acknowledged in the filing that he spent $2 million supporting three women there with whom he developed relationships. Constant said that he took full responsibility for his crime and he apologized to his family and the grain merchants, farmers, ranchers and consumers whom he ripped off. "The organic industry in this country is built in trust and I violated that trust," he said. Constant's lawyer, Mark Weinhardt, described his client as a pillar of the community in Chillicothe, where Constant was known as generous with his money and time. But Williams said that Constant was similar to the grain that he marketed. "He is not what is advertised," the judge said. "Below the surface, he was lying and cheating."

lot from life already, with two beautiful children under the age of 3. Being present for your children is the most important thing you can do for them. Continue driving for Lyft and Uber while you finish college. There is a good chance that you will find a subject that you are passionate about that you can pursue as a career, maybe one that combines your passion for performance with a stable income. As for moving to New York to become a male entertainer, with two young children at home, it's probably not the best idea. I think you know that. Dear Annie: When I read the letter from "A Faithful Reader," the grandmother who was concerned that her granddaughter "blew up," I had an entirely different take on the situation. I, too, am a grandmother, but I felt that the person needing some help was the grandmother who wrote to you. Yes, she did a lot for the granddaughter over the years; however, the granddaughter is no longer a child and does not want her unsolicited assis-

Dear Annie: I want to change my career path to pursue what I really want to do in life. I have two kids, a 2-yearold son and a 3-year-old daughter. Currently, I am a driver for Lyft and Uber, and I work more than 50 hours a week. I'm making a decent amount of money, but it's not enough. I've wanted to be a male entertainer since I was in high school. I'm 20 years old and in my first year of college now. Both of my babies' mothers think that I'm out of my mind, even though I said they'd get free dances. But I think I can get by until I start making consistent income from entertaining. I haven't found any clients yet, but I've been thinking about moving to New York to follow my dream. Do you think I can succeed if I move to New York? I will be rooming with a buddy, also an aspiring male entertainer with two kids, coincidentally. He's 32 years old, so I think I can learn a lot from him. -- Wanting More from Life Dear Wanting More from Life: It sounds like you have a

Hiring cools U.S. hiring is starting to slow. But for now, there is little reason to worry. The pace of job growth is slipping as the decade-plus U.S. economic expansion has matured. There are simply fewer unemployed people seeking work, so the slowdown is organic rather than troublesome. Monthly hiring has declined 2.2% for the year-ended in June, according to the Labor Department. This pullback has corresponded with a

decline in net monthly job growth, which compares new hires against worker separations. During the past three months, job gains have averaged a paltry 140,000 a month. That’s down sharply from an average of 237,000 for the same period in 2018. The threemonth average can be volatile, but the trend since April shows a cooling job market.

tance. The granddaughter is acting out of exasperation over a grandmother who has not realized that she is no longer a child and does not know how to relate to and respect her granddaughter as an adult. The blow-ups are a response to the grandmother not only violating boundaries but also expecting to be appreciated for it. Her poor granddaughter has tried blowing up, but that still is not setting the situation right. It is too bad the granddaughter does not just tell her that she does not need her to move her car, fold her clothes or do other similar tasks. I would never post a picture of a great-grandchild without the permission of the granddaughter. If the grandmother would treat the adult granddaughter with respect and dignity, and understand her boundaries, the blow-ups would not be needed to try to jolt the woman into the reality of her inappropriate and controlling behavior. -Respecting Boundaries Dear Respecting Boundaries: I am printing your letter because respecting peoples' boundaries is always an important key to good relationships. I also agree that posting pictures of children should always be up to the discretion of the parents.
