Steve Marley of the Creston Water Treatment Plant demonstrates a filtration system used by the facility to clean drinking water that comes from Twelve Mile Lake and Three Mile Lake Tuesday night during the “twilight tour” sponsored by the Union County Soil and Water Conservation District. The vast majority of Creston’s drinking water comes from the two lakes, and Marley said he has seen a marked improvement in water quality since renovations on the lakes’ watersheds began roughly 5 years ago.

Twelve Mile Lake, watershed renovations explained in twilight seminar ■

By ALEX FELKER

CNA staff reporter afelker@crestonnews.com

More than 50 interested community members came together Tuesday evening for a twilight tour of the Twelve Mile and Three Mile Lake watersheds in the area of Union County north of Afton.

Local experts spoke to the group during a guided tour on issues including water quality, local environmental conditions and the importance of maintaining the two lakes for recreational use and tourism.

Participants learned

about the Twelve Mile Lake wetland, visited renovated sites at Three Mile Lake, learned about techniques farmers are using to minimize soil runoff and toured the facilities of the water treatment plant near Twelve Mile Lake.

The Union County Soil and Water Conservation District hosted the event, in partnership with the USDA and NRCS. A twilight tour like this had been held only once before, in an invitation-only event for state and local government officials.

“We wanted to highlight and promote the conservation work that is ongoing in the Three (Mile Lake) and Twelve (Mile Lake) watersheds, and how it impacts the water quality in the lakes, but also our drinking water,” said Union County District Conservationist

Kayla Creek.

What is a watershed?

The term watershed is often used interchangeably with “drainage basin,” or “catchment.”

In short, it is the area of land (and water) that drains all the streams and rainfall to a common outlet, such as a river, or, in this case a lake.

The type of land-use and structures on a watershed directly affect its downstream outlets in a variety of ways.

This is why the Union County Conservation Board, the Iowa DNR and the Union County Soil and Water Conservation District (among other partners) came together about 5 years ago to conduct something called a “watershed assessment,” in which the

health of the watershed was evaluated.

A watershed management plan was developed, and state and federal funding was applied for to begin conservation practices and constructions.

Roughly $909,000 of funding was raised, and then used over those five years in the Twelve Mile Lake watershed to install eight grade-stabilization structures, eight water and sediment control basins, 94,575 feet of terraces, 17 acres of waterways, 15.87 acres of stream-side filter strips and 331 acres of new Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) land within a half-mile of Twelve Mile Lake.

Iowa computer programmer gets 25 years for lottery scam DES MOINES (AP) — A former lottery computer programmer who admitted to rigging computers to enable him to pick winning numbers and cheat four states out of $2.2 million in several lottery games over six years was sentenced to up to 25 years in prison in Iowa on Tuesday.

“I regret my actions and I’m sorry for the people I hurt,” said Eddie Tipton, 54, the former information technology manager for the Multi-State Lottery Association, a central Iowa organization that provides number-picking computers for lotteries in 33 states the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

“I REGRET my actions and I’m sorry for the people I hurt.”

EDDIE TIPTON

Former IT manager for Multi-State Lottery Association

Tipton’s voice quivered when asked by Judge Brad McCall to speak during the sentencing hearing. After McCall issued the sentence, Tipton was handcuffed and taken away by sheriff’s deputies.

Under Iowa law, Tipton is likely to serve far less than 25 years — probably between three and five years, said Iowa Assistant Attorney General Rob Sand, who prosecuted the case. The Iowa Board of Parole will ultimately determine how long he’s behind bars.

“I think when you’re an insider who abuses your position of trust and privilege you should expect to see the

inside of a jail cell,” Sand said.

Tipton’s attorney asked McCall to give Tipton probation in Iowa, arguing his client was unfairly being treated far more harshly than other people involved in the scheme.

As part of his plea deal, Tipton also admitted to committing theft by fraud and a computer crime in Wisconsin, where he’ll be sentenced Sept. 18.

The agreement al- Tipton lows him to serve his Wisconsin sentence — likely to be three to four years — at the same time he serves the Iowa prison sentence.

Tipton also agreed to repay the $2.2 million to the four states from which he rigged games and jackpots were paid, but he told McCall it’s unclear how he will get the money. He said he hopes to study ministry and get a job in that field after prison.

“Hopefully you’re going to get rid of that greed and gain a little common sense during your prison stay,” McCall said.

Tipton helped write the computer code behind several U.S. lottery games, including some of its biggest including Powerball, Mega Millions and Hot Lotto. He worked for the lottery association from 2003 until 2015 and was its computer information security director for his last two years there.

Tipton admitted in June to installing code that prompted the computers to produce predictable numbers SCAM | 2A

DEATHS Beth Coen Creston

Beth Coen, 36, of Creston passed away Tuesday, Aug. 15, 2017, at her home in Creston.

Mass of Christian burial will be 11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 26, at Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Creston. Father Kenneth Halbur Jr. will officiate. Interment will be private in Calv a r y C e m e - Coen tery in Creston.

Open visitation will be from 2 to 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 25, at Pearson Family Funeral Service and Cremation Center, 809 W. Montgomery St., in Creston. Family will receive friends from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Saturday morning at Holy Spirit Catholic Church. Memorials may be directed to C.A.R. E. (Creston Animal Rescue Effort) or St. Malachy School. Online condolences may be left at www. pearsonfuneralhomes. com.

Maria Beth Coen, the daughter of Daniel Mark and Connie Irene (Roberts) Coen, was born May 29, 1981, in Creston.

Beth was educated in St. Malachy Catholic School and Creston High School, where she graduated with the class of 2000. Beth attended Southwestern Community College in Creston and then transferred to Hawkeye Community College in Waterloo. She graduated in 2005 with an associate degree in photography. Beth returned to Creston and worked as a dental assistant and professional photographer.

There are some souls on this earth that just seem to shine a little brighter, and Beth was undoubtedly one. As a little girl, Beth could find a stage anywhere and her very presence would light up the room. And as the years

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, August 23, 2017

passed, not much would change. Beth had a beautiful spirit and a loving heart that held everyone she met in unconditional regard.

She was a fighter for love and equality for all, and she didn’t know a stranger. She made us laugh with her shenanigans and she made us brave in ways we didn’t always understand.

Beth was passionate about her photography, and the lens through which she saw the world will forever inspire us. She left so many beautiful pieces of herself in her work. She was a lover of her cats, Bootzie and Des, and had a heart for animals. She was an avid sports fan, and we’ll have no choice but to continue to cheer on her Vikings, and of course the Hawks. We will miss the way she could make the room stand still with her second-to-none performance of “Billie Jean,” and have no doubt she is surrounded by a circle of angels who are right now marveling at her moves.

Beth was a devoted daughter, sister and auntie, and she loved her family, especially her nieces and nephews, with all her heart. We are so grateful for the time we had with her. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

Beth is survived by her parents, Dan and Connie Coen of Creston; her sister, Sara Coen of Waukee; her brothers, Scott (Kim) Coen of Creston and Pat (Amy) Coen of Ft. Collins, Colorado; her paternal grandmother, Dora Coen of Creston; her maternal grandmother, Delores Roberts of Creston; her nieces and nephews, Gabe, Griffin, Grant, Keely, Shaylee, Kami and Brennan; and numerous loving aunts, uncles and many cousins. May God grant comfort and strength to those who mourn.

Preceding Beth in death, was her paternal grandfather John Coen; her maternal grandfather Ed Roberts and her cousins, Jill and Jenny Coen and Benjamin McGrath.

One of the most challenging and exciting responsibilities an individual can assume is to become a mayor or council member.

The business of city government and local leadership presents a unique opportunity to resolve issues, accomplish goals and affect the future of Creston.

The city of Creston conducts business on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. The meetings are generally held at 6 p.m., with additional work sessions anticipated during budget season (December to March) and special meetings when necessary.

Annual compensation for council members is $3,600 and the mayor receives

$12,000.

The city of Creston has four, four-year term vacancies on the Nov. 7 ballot.

These vacancies include one at-large council member and first-, third- and fifth-ward council member.

In order to hold office in the city, a candidate must be an eligible elector, meeting the same qualifications required to vote and be a resident of the city he or she plans to serve. If running for a council seat representing a specific ward, the candidate must be a resident of that ward. There is also a six-year term for the park and recreation board on the ballot. The individuals elected for all available positions will take office

PHOENIX (AP) — President Donald Trump opened his political rally in Phoenix with calls for unity and an assertion that “our movement is about love.” Then he erupted in anger.

He blamed the media for the widespread condemnation of his response to violence at a Charlottesville, Virginia, protest organized by white supremacists. And he shouted that he had “openly called for healing, unity and love” in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy and had simply been misrepresented in news coverage.

He read from his three responses to the racially charged violence — getting more animated with each one.

He withdrew from his suit pocket the written statement he’d read the day a woman was killed by a man who’d plowed a car through counter-protesters, but he skipped over the trouble-causing part that he’d freelanced at the time — his observation that “many sides” were to blame.

That, as well as his reiteration days later that “both sides” were to blame for the violence that led to the death of Heather Heyer and two state troopers, led Democrats and many Republicans to denounce Trump for not unmistakably calling out white supremacists and other hate groups.

The president awoke Wednesday still thinking about the rally, as evidenced by his Twitter account.

“Last night in Phoenix I read the things Trump from my statements on Charlottesville that the Fake News Media didn’t cover fairly,” he wrote.

“People got it!”

Unity is back on the agenda Wednesday, when Trump speaks to veterans in Reno, Nevada. He will hold them up as an example of “the strength, courage and love

The staff of the city of Creston and Iowa League of Cities offers training for city officials. One example of a training session available for city officials is the Municipal Leadership Academy (MLA), pre-

sented in partnership by the Iowa League of Cities, Institute of Public Affairs at the University of Iowa and Iowa State University Office of State and Local Government Programs.

These training sessions are designed to cover the basics of city government in Iowa and are the best way for new officials to learn about the legalities and expectations of their new position and to meet both new and experienced city officials.

Trump talks unity, but detours into angry words for media

As chair of the Iowa Power Fund, Fred helped shape the landscape of rural Iowa and create new jobs in renewable energy for communities like ours. As governor, I know Fred will fix Iowa’s budget crisis, invest in education and health care and help small to medium sized businesses grow, and in doing so, revitalize rural Iowa and get incomes rising in every corner of our state.”

only on certain days. Tipton said he gave the numbers to his brother, Tommy Tipton, and longtime friend Robert Rhodes and others to play and often split the winnings with them.

Tommy Tipton is serving a 75-day jail sentence in Texas after pleading guilty to a theft charge. Rhodes is expected to get probation when he’s sentenced on Aug. 25 for a com-

ing cedar and concrete fish habitats in the lake to promote spawning and provide angling hotspots.

The DNR has also been busy raising fish for stocking the lakes in area hatcheries, including blue catfish, walleye fingerlings, bluegill and adult bass. Only one other lake in the state of Iowa, DeSoto Bend along the Missouri River, stocks blue catfish.

“We’re pretty excited with what we’re doing here — there’s a lot of firsts. I’m hoping to see a lot of fishermen out here next year,” Walter said.

Doug Jones, director for the Union County Conservation Board, expects these hopes to be realized.

“As soon as we took care of those carp,” said Jones, “the water quality just came back almost immediately, and we got vegetation growth back, so we’re really excited about the renovations.

“So we like the lake,” said Jones. “We love the lake. It’s our bread and butter for what we do here for recreation, so anything that happens in that watershed affects what we’re doing down here. We like clean water and so do the users.”

Candidates needed for Nov. 7 city election

Tuesday, former Representative Mike Reasoner announced his endorsement of Fred Hubbell, Democratic candidate for governor of Iowa.

“I am proud to endorse Fred Hubbell for Governor,” Reasoner said. “We need a governor who will help rural Iowa grow and thrive, and I know Fred Hubbell is up for the job because he’s already done it.

(Lake) had both of them.”

The Iowa DNR Fisheries Management office for Ringgold County’s eight-county area is based out of Mount Ayr. They are responsible for ensuring quality fishing in the lakes, ponds, rivers and streams of their coverage area.

“I started (with the DNR) in 2003,” said Walter, “and there was a lot of water throughout southwest Iowa that we had gone through and renovated.

And when I first started, it was like pulling teeth to go in and renovate a lake, but over time we developed a reputation on rebounding these fisheries faster.”

Walter said that Twelve Mile Lake was the 21st or 22nd renovation he’d been a part of.

“We’ve poured everything we had into this,” said Walter, “from what we’ve learned from past renovations.”

Walter detailed the process the DNR used in rehabilitating Twelve Mile Lake for better fishing, which included temporarily drawing down the water level by 17 feet to control for carp and yellow bass, installing upstream filtration measures like filter strips and grass waterways and plac-

that our country will need to overcome every challenge that we will face,” according to prepared remarks.

“It is time to heal the wounds that have divided us, and to seek a new unity based on the common values that unite us,” Trump says.

But Trump wasn’t able to stick to his unity theme Tuesday night. His broadside against the media, and the “fake news” he says is out to get him, was one of several detours he took from remarks prepared for the Phoenix rally. Trump unabashedly acknowledged that his own advisers had urged him to stay on message, and that he simply could not.

He suggested he intends to pardon former Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who is awaiting sentencing in Arizona after his conviction in federal court for disobeying court orders to stop his immigration patrols. After whipping up the crowd about Arpaio, he said

he wanted to avoid “controversy” by not speaking about the pardon, but added: “I’ll make a prediction: I think he’s going to be just fine.”

Trump skewered both of Arizona’s Republican senators, insisting that his coy refusal to mention their names showed a “very presidential” restraint. He said his aides had begged him, “Please, please Mr. President, don’t mention any names. So I won’t.” Yet he’d clearly described Sen. John McCain as the reason Congress didn’t repeal and replace the much-maligned Affordable Care Act, and he labeled Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake as “weak” on law enforcement and immigration.

He followed up Wednesday morning on Twitter, writing “Phoenix crowd last night was amazing - a packed house. I love the Great State of Arizona. Not a fan of Jeff Flake, weak on crime & border!”

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, August 23, 2017

The Great American Eclipse HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The Green Bay Packers will host the Seattle Seahawks at Lambeau Field to open their season a week from Sunday.

Team officials have 10 days to figure out what do with the statue of Brett Favre outside the stadium. He was the last player drafted by both the NFL and the Confederate Army.

USA Today reports that millions and millions of Americans stood outside together on Monday and viewed the eclipse of the sun. It was a rare moment of national unity. President Trump walked outside during the eclipse and saw his shadow and traditionally that means six more weeks of comedy.

Fox News dispatched its TV reporters to cities from Portland, Oregon, down to Charleston, South Carolina, Monday to cover the millions of people witnessing the phenomenon they

would see only once in their entire lifetimes. The Great American Eclipse finally arrived. It’s called China.

Charleston hosted a huge and festive outdoor rally of South Carolinians who joined together to watch Monday’s solar eclipse.

Of course, they’ve seen worse.

If you’ve ever seen their obesity numbers, you’d know that a total eclipse of the sun was certainly nothing new to South Carolinians.

President Trump and Melania and their son Barron were televised watching the eclipse of the sun outside on the Truman Balcony of the White House. The president was shown on TV staring bare-faced straight up at the

eclipse. You now need to wear special sunglasses just to look at Trump.

President Trump caught hell from the Nanny Police Monday after he was shown staring at the eclipse wearing no sunglasses.

He won’t be upstaged. Ophthalmologists called it dangerous, teachers called it irresponsible, and France just named Trump to replace Jerry Lewis as their national genius.

North Korea returned to threatening the U.S. with nuclear war on Monday during a U.S.-South Korea military exercise. They don’t scare us. In case of nuclear war, scientists say the only thing that will survive are the cockroaches, which means the U.S. will still have a functioning government.

test that leftist Antifas beat a man senseless because he was completely bald. It’s awful. In a related story, the Brockton Community Theater is casting for a new male lead in their musical production of “Annie.”

CNN last week spotlighted neo-Nazis who tweeted their support of President Trump after CNN had spent months probing Russia’s support of Trump.

It’s a feather in Trump’s cap if you look at it one way. The Nazis and Russians haven’t agreed on anything since the 1939 Non-Aggression Pact.

President Trump gave a speech Monday vowing that the U.S. will win the Afghanistan war. For centuries it’s famous as the graveyard of empires. Those who don’t study history are doomed to repeat it while those who study history are doomed to stand by helplessly while everyone else repeats it.

stored eggs. My guess is, they’d be browsing at sperm banks.

A sperm bank is the only bank where every time you make a deposit, you lose interest.

The London Daily Mail reported during a Ryan Air flight to Spain a female passenger took off her blouse, her skirt, her panties and bra and then she danced in the aisle. The flight crew reacted instinctively.

They waited two minutes, then charged everyone a $100 entertainment fee.

Homeland Security asked for Americans to remain extra-vigilant following the wave of attacks in Barcelona, Paris, and on London Bridge. We must help the FBI any way we can.

To avoid any doubt, I placed a bumper sticker on the back of my car that reads “My Driving Is Not Terrorist-Related.”

The Boston Herald reports that during Saturday’s free speech march and counter-pro-

Dear Governor Reynolds, Today I read, with great interest, the Register editorial entitled “Reynolds’ Medicaid Doublespeak - Governor’s Rhetoric Does Not Reflect Reality.”

Sadly, I completely agree with the premise of the article and the information it shared about your current statement. I quote this from the article – “Medicaid modernization improves access, gives patients more choices and brings accountability to the program,” Reynolds said in her statement.

My daughter is handicapped.

She receives some Social Security each month based on her disability and on my Social Security as her retired parent.

This is enough to cover her basic expenses. She also works five nights a week for Innovative Industries in Creston on the night cleaning crew. She’s

a good worker and always gets her small raise when evaluated.

Her earnings allow her to afford groceries, occasional spending for clothes and other such items.

She manages to be relatively comfortable with an estimated income of approximately $1,400 per month. That was before this change.

She had an appointment with her dentist who is not enrolled with Amerigroup. Her previous charge for a six-month checkup was $3. This was before Gov. Terry Branstad changed Medicaid and decided to “privatize” the program giving it over to private insurers.

There are no dentists in Creston who have signed up for this new opportunity. We could travel between 20-40 miles to another town for dental services. Her only method of transportation, under normal circumstances, is my car. If she chose the Trolley, she would have to pay for a round trip to whatever town was chosen and start with a new

dentist. Part of my daughter’s handicapping condition is the inability she has to quickly and easily adapt to an unusual and unexpected change in her life and routine.

Therefore, we went to her dentist in Creston. Her cost for this six-month visit was $112 rather than $3 that it’s been for years. She will be having two cavities repaired in two weeks and this visit will cost $268, not $3. Don’t try to tell me that your statement in an Aug. 3 press release and I quote “Medicaid modernization improves access, gives patients more choices and brings accountability to the program” has one iota of truth in it.

My daughter is not the only handicapped, elderly or ill Iowan who has found nothing of value in former Gov. Branstad’s privatization of Medicare. You really need to learn a whole lot more about this topic than you apparently do.

I am a very unhappy parent and voter in Iowa.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: I never know how to determine whether EGGS ARE STILL FRESH. I remember something about putting them in water. Help? – Vivian M., Westfield, Mass.

Vivian, help is here, and it’s an easy egg hint! Fill a bowl/glass with room-temperature water. Put an egg in it. If it floats, it’s an older egg; if it sinks to the bottom, it’s a fresher egg. – Heloise P.S. If you are using the eggs to “hard boil” (really it’s “hard cook” – you should boil the eggs for no more than a minute, then turn the heat off, cover the pot and let it sit for 15 minutes), use older eggs. Fresh ones do not have much of an air pocket and are harder to peel.

SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com GOOD COFFEE HINTS Dear Readers: DO’S and DON’TS for making good coffee: 1. Start with a clean coffeepot.

2. Use fresh, clean water.

3. Do use the proper grind for the method you choose for brewing.

4. Do drink it right away!

– Heloise A LA ... WHAT? Dear Heloise: I’m confused! I see the term “A la this or that” on menus and have no idea what it means. I don’t do a lot of cooking and never learned what some of these culinary terms mean.

– Rochelle R., Blaine, Minn.

Rochelle, don’t fret! You are not alone! Here are three explanations for you from my book “In the Kitchen With Heloise.”

“A la king”: Food that’s been prepared in a rich cream sauce.

“A la mode”: It’s French for “in the manner of.” If you see this in reference to a dessert, it means “with ice cream.”

“Al dente”: It’s an Italian term for cooking pasta so that the teeth can feel it.

Pasta should never be overcooked. – Heloise GARBAGE DISPOSAL SMELL Dear Heloise: My garbage disposal has a terrible odor.

I tried grinding lemons in it, but that gave me only a temporary solution. In a small kitchen like mine, a smelly

SUDOKU

garbage disposal is a serious problem! – Sally T., Rock Hill, S.C. Sally, here are some hints to banish garbage disposal odors: When you use limes/lemons/grapefruit, follow up with lots of running cold water.

Try a few drops of peppermint oil or spearmint in a cup of water, then put that into the disposal Put the stopper in, fill the sink with hot water, then pull the plug and run the disposal.

If the odor persists, there may be a buildup of “gunk” under the splash guard. Try cleaning the underside of the black splash guard with hot, soapy water. – Heloise P.S. It’s important to run cold water for 30 seconds or so to push whatever you are getting rid of through the plumbing.

A ‘BERRY’ GOOD IDEA Dear Heloise: Blackberries, blueberries, etc., are sold in grocery stores in clear plastic clamshell packs. Placing a rubber band around a box prevents an “explosion” if you drop one. Good shopping. – George B., via email (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

NATIONAL DIGEST

Iowa’s Jewell a preseason first-team AllAmerican Southern California quarterback Sam Darnold and Penn State running back Saquon Barkley put on a show at the Rose Bowl last season and established themselves as two of the biggest stars in college football coming into 2017.

The two Heisman Trophy contenders highlight the first preseason All-America team in the history of The Associated Press.

Darnold passed for 453 yards and five touchdowns in USC’s 52-49 victory over the Nittany Lions. The sophomore comes into this season leading No. 4 USC on a nine-game winning streak.

“Obviously there are some grand expectations for him, but he’s welcomed those,” USC coach Clay Helton said.

“That’s part of being a USC quarterback.

That’s why you come to USC. You’re the face of the program and you’re the leader of the program.”

Barkley ran for 194 yards and scored three touchdowns against USC. “He’s one of the rare guys that if you were building a Frankenstein running back, he’d pretty much have a check mark in pretty much in every box,” Penn State coach James Franklin said. “I guess that’s what makes him special and that’s what makes him different.”

The AP All-America team is the longest-running annual honor roll of the nation’s top college football players, dating to 1925, and is usually released after the season.

Darnold was voted to the first team by a panel of 51 Top 25 voters, edging out Heisman winner Lamar Jackson, who is the second-team quarterback on the lists released Tuesday.

Joining Darnold and Barkley in the backfield is LSU running back Derrius Guice, who spent the last two seasons as back up to former All-America Leonard Fournette.

The first-team defense is led by two players who were postseason All-Americans in 2016: Houston defensive tackle Ed Oliver, who made it to the first team as a freshman last season, and Alabama defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick. Florida State placed two defensive backs on the first-team with cornerback Tavarus McFadden and safety Derwin James, who missed most of last year with a knee injury.

Krejci connects with youth at LLWS ■ Former

SWCC coach says new Play Ball Park is a hit

By LARRY PETERSON CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

ANKENY — Last week, Bill Krejci found himself right in the middle of a new initative by Major League Baseball in partnership with USA Baseball to generate more excitement about the sport among America’s youth attending the Little League World Series.

The former Southwestern Community College baseball coach and athletic director has been involved with USA Baseball as an instructor and age group team coach for 22 years. Along the way, he has coached 23 current or former major league players.

But, he said last week’s duties at the Little League World Series made an impression on him as one of his favorite experiences in the sport.

“I’m 67 years old and I’ve

never been to Williamsport,” Krejci said. “I played Little League baseball and I’ve watched the (Little League) World Series all my life. It was a like a dreamcome-true to me to go there.

Obviously, I never went there a a player. To see everything there is a lot different than watching it on TV. It’s like a state fair without the rides.”

Krejci attended the world’s biggest youth baseball event for five days, from Aug. 16 through Sunday night’s major league game between the St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates at BB&T Ballpark at historic Bowman Field, home of the Williamsport Crosscutters of the New York-Penn League. The team is the Class A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies.

Krejci and Brett Radcliffe of Garrett, Indiana, were USA Baseball coaches working with softball instructors and representatives of Major League Baseball to launch the opening of Play Ball Park on the Williamsport Little League

grounds.

Krejci tossed balls to hitters at the home run derby in the new park, and helped youths at skills stations such as bunting and sliding.

“It was really popular,” Krejci said. “The two days I worked it, I started one morning at 9 a.m and the other at 11 a.m., and both

Cubs beat Reds 13-9, x-rays negative for banged up Bryant CINCINNATI (AP) — With the Cubs comfortably ahead, Joe Maddon added to his lore as a manager who’s not afraid to go against tradition and have some fun, too.

Maddon had left-handed Anthony Rizzo play third base in the ninth inning — filling in while Kris Bryant went for precautionary X-rays on his hand — as Chicago finished off a 13-9 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday night.

Why not?

“Looking at it, the only thing left was (catcher Alex) Avila at third, which is no fun, or Rizzo at third and Avila at first, which is fun, and that’s why we did it,” Maddon said.

Rizzo didn’t get any balls hit his way in his role as only the third left-handed third baseman in Cubs history. George Decker and Jimmy Ryan also played there in the 1800s.

Bryant’s hand was fine — X-rays were negative, and he might miss a day. The National League M V P wasn’t aware that Riz- Bryant zo had taken his spot in the ninth, and he knew he wouldn’t hear the end of it from his lefty fillin.

“He’ll put that on his Twitter bio: Third baseman,” Bryant said.

The Cubs’ day not only ended with weirdness, it started that way, too. Ben Zobrist was in the original starting lineup, but couldn’t make it to Cincinnati because he couldn’t find a rental car in Nashville. The Cubs were off on Monday, and Zobrist was in a panic as he tried to get back from

his home state.

“Holy smokes, I was flustered for about seven hours today,” said Zobrist, who finally made it to Great American Ball Park about an hour before the first pitch. “It was a nightmare.

I’ve had nightmares about being late to games before.”

He was scratched from the lineup, but got his chance in the seventh when the Cubs started their big rally and moved a season-high 10 games over .500.

Chicago loaded the bases with two outs. Javier Baez fell behind 0-2 against lefthander Wandy Peralta (34), worked the count full, fouled off a pitch and then singled to right for a pair of runs that tied it 6-6, his bat shattering on impact.

times I was still tossing balls at 7 o’clock at night.

I’m not saying we never got breaks, but the flow of kids was constant. There was always a line. At the home run station, where they were hitting plastic balls over the fence into the hillside, you’d get dads and moms and sisters and brothers giving it

a try, too. It wasn’t just the Little League players.”

Boston Bound; Cavs trade Irving to Celtics for Thomas, more CLEVELAND (AP) — Kyrie Irving was tired of being teammates with LeBron James.

Now he has to figure out how to beat him.

Cleveland’s All-Star guard, who asked owner Dan Gilbert to trade him earlier this summer, was dealt Tuesday night to the Boston Celtics for fellow All-Star Isaiah Thomas, forward Jae Crowder, center Ante Zizic and the Thomas Brooklyn Nets’ unprotected 2018 first-round draft pick.

“It’s extremely rare to trade for a 25-year-old player that’s done what he’s done, the offensive weapon that he is,” Celtics president Danny Ainge said. “We feel like his best basketball is still ahead of him.

“We have a player that’s proven to be a sure thing.

We know how unpredictable the draft can be. You do pay a heavy price for a player of that age and that caliber.”

Irving, whose late 3-pointer helped Cleveland win the 2016 N B A championship - and the city’s first Irving title since 1964 - is on his way to Boston, where he’ll join a Celtics team that lost to the Cavs in last season’s conference finals.

And as fate will have it, the Cavs will host the Celtics in their season opener on Oct. 17.

Ainge said. “But we feel like this is a trade that can make us better, and that’s why we did it.”

The blockbuster deal caps a wild summer for the Cavs, who lost their title defense in five games to Golden State in June. Since then, general manager David Griffin left, the team failed to convince Chauncey Billups to join its front office and James has played with fans’ emotions with veiled postings on social media about his future.

Irving’s trade demand cast a shadow over the entire organization.

But Cleveland may have salvaged its offseason.

“This trade needed to include both players and assets that we felt strongly could help us continue to compete for championships and we believe it does,” said new general manager Koby Altman, who pulled off a deal that protects Cleveland’s present and future.

In Thomas, they’re getting a proven playmaker with a stellar reputation. The 5-foot-9 guard is one of the league’s most dynamic backcourt players with an uncanny ability to get to the basket. Irving may be the only better finisher among point guards.

The 28-year-old Thomas was taken with the final selection in the 2011 draft - 59 picks after Irving was picked first overall. But he has steadily scaled his way up to

elite status.

Thomas’ reputation in Boston was cemented when he led the Celtics through the playoffs last season despite the death of his sister on the eve of the postseason.

He also had a front tooth knocked out during the second-round series against Washington and a hip injury eventually forced the team to shut him down early in the East finals, won by the Cavaliers in five games.

“Isaiah had just an amazing season this year and entertained us all, the whole city of Boston. And everybody fell in love with him,” Ainge said. “He’s such an underdog because of his size and his heart and his spirit which he plays.”

Thomas is eligible for free agency next summer and be-

lieves he is worthy of a maximum contract. He has been quoted saying, “They better bring out the Brinks truck.”

Cleveland also is getting Crowder, a solid perimeter defender, and a first-round pick that Boston got from Brooklyn. The package could help the Cavs reload if James opts out of his contract next summer and leaves Cleveland for a second time.

The Cavs drafted Irving with the No. 1 overall pick in 2011. He struggled in his first few seasons but blossomed in recent years alongside James. However, that didn’t seem to be enough for the 25-year-old, who has wanted to be the focal point on his own team.

lead and was a bit sheepish over the congratulations he received.

“When I got back to the dugout, I said, ‘If you show up for the game when I did today, you’d better do something good,’” Zobrist said.

Chicago sent nine batters to the plate for five more runs in the eighth against Blake Wood, with Zobrist driving in another run.

The nine-run surge in the last three innings preserved John Lackey’s streak of no losses since the All-Star break. He gave up six runs in five innings, including the first of Eugenio Suarez’s two homers and Scooter Gennett’s solo shot. The righthander is 5-0 in his last seven starts.

Hector Rondon (4-1) escaped a bases-loaded threat in the sixth.

Reds starter Homer Bailey left after only three innings because he felt irritation in the back of his pitching shoulder. Bailey missed the first half of the

a “special talent/guy.”

“Nothing but respect and what a ride it was our 3 years together,” James wrote.

Asked about trading a fan favorite who rose from the depths of the draft for a player who asked out of a team with the NBA’s best player, one year removed from a championship, Ainge said he has done his homework.

“We feel comfortable with who Kyrie is and who he can be,” he said.

Minnesota showed some interest in Irving after his trade request became public, but were unwilling to part with young star Andrew Wiggins as the centerpiece of a deal. Wiggins is expected to sign a max contract extension in the coming weeks to stay with the Timseason while recovering from elbow surgery.

“I probably could’ve continued tonight, but we thought it was better to get out and make sure I can keep going (for the rest of the season),” Bailey said. “I want to finish this thing up right.”

THAT’S WEIRD Three different Reds pitchers had a single — Bailey, Kevin Shackelford and Michael Lorenzen. Shackelford’s was his first major league hit. The last time three Reds pitchers had a hit in the same game was May 29, 1999, when Denny Neagle, Steve Parris and Ron Villone had hits during a 2412 win at Colorado.

REMEMBERING BENNETT The Reds had a few moments of silence pregame to remember Gene Bennett, a long-time scout and front-office executive who died last week.

OUCH! Drew Storen hit Bryant in the left hand and Rizzo in the right calf in the ninth inning. Both stayed in the game, but the Cubs decided

berwolves.

The Phoenix Suns reportedly were not interested in parting with rookie Josh Jackson in a deal that also would have required Eric Bledsoe and the New York Knicks gave no indication that Kristaps Porzingis was ever on the table in a potential Irving trade.

Then the Celtics swooped in, landing the kind of star Ainge has long coveted.

With the possibility of having to break the bank to retain Thomas next summer, Boston finally tapped into the treasure trove of assets that Ainge has assembled to get Irving, who is under contract for two more years.

Irving got his wish to get away from James, but he’s not free of him yet.

to send Bryant for a precautionary X-ray when Chicago took the field.

TRAINER’S ROOM Cubs: C Willson Contreras ran before the game and felt good, but manager Joe Maddon doesn’t want to push him too fast as he recovers from a strained right hamstring that landed him on the DL on Aug. 11. He said there’s no target date for his return.

Reds: RH Scott Feldman had surgery to clean out his right knee and will miss the rest of the season. He’s been on the DL twice in the second half of the season because of the knee.

UP NEXT Cubs: LH Mike Montgomery (3-6) moves back into the rotation, replacing the injured Jon Lester. It’ll be his ninth start of the season and his third consecutive appearance against Cincinnati. On Aug. 17, he threw 4 1/3 shutout relief innings.

Reds: RH Asher Wojciechowski (3-2) makes his eighth start and second career appearance against the Cubs. He’s 2-2 as a starter with a 7.39 ERA.

interested in the game. Kids rotated through a sliding and bunting station, an inflatable throwing accuracy station where they got four chances to throw a ball through a small target, and the fan-favorite home run derby station.

“We’re string to stay consistent to the overall Play Ball theme that you don’t always have to play in an organized team structure,” said David James, Major League Baseball vice president of youth programs in an interview with mlb.com. “Our goal isn’t necessarily to make big-time ballplayers, but to be sure we are generating baseball players.”

James said the presence of coaches like Krejci was important, because the participants had a chance to work directly with national team coaches wearing their USA Baseball uniforms.

“Hopefully that makes them go back to mom and dad and, if they’re not playing, make them go, ‘Hey, I want to play,’” James said.

In an online interview for mlb.com, Krejci said the goal at the new park is to allow youths to have fun with the game.

“These kids are the future of USA Baseball,” Krejci said. “These kids are enjoying themselves, and that’s the key. I can tell you, when I coached Joe Mauer and Bryce Harper, they were having fun. Obviously they wanted to win and obviously

Major league game Krejci attended Sunday’s major league game at the Williamsport complex and was impressed with how the game was presented.

First of all, Major League Baseball conducted an extensive renovation of the minor league ballpark to make it suitable or a prime time major league game shown on ESPN. “They put between $1.8 and $2 million into that park to make it happen,” Krejci said. “They replaced all of the seats, put in a jumbotron scoreboard, built brand new fences and changed the configuration of the park. It was 411 feet to dead center.”

Players from both the Cardinals and Pirates were introduced before the game in front of a capacity crowd of 2,500, which included all 16 Little League World Series teams, their families and winners of a ticket lottery.

The way the ceremonial first pitch was conducted was a highlight for Krejci.

“They had one player from each of the (LLWS) teams stretched out from center field to the mound,” Krejci said. “They did a series of 16 relay throws all the way to the mound, where finally one kid threw to the catcher at home plate. That was kind of neat. Each team got a chance to throw the ball before a major league game.”

Sportsmanship was on display throughout the nationally-televised game, including the teams shaking hands

after the game, which Krejci said was not an accident.

“If you were watching, you noticed there were no arguments on the field during that game,” Krejci said. “I’m thinking that was talked about ahead of time, to have good sportsmanship with the national TV game promoting Little League Baseball.”

That game, won by the Pirates, 6-3, capped an enjoyable stint in Williamsport for the longtime SWCC coach.

“It was an experience like I’ve never had in my life, and I’ve been to a lot of places in this sport,” Krejci said. “That complex itself is probably two or three times the size of the Southwestern campus. Between the two main stadiums it’s like a state fair, with entertainment and concessions located there in a beautiful part of Pennsylvania. You don’t appreciate it until you get there.”

Krejci said there are no charges for admission to the games or for parking. Revenue is gained from each team involved in Little League Baseball around the world, as well as concessions and souvenir sales.

This weekend, Krejci is back on the road to lead another “Play Ball” initiative event in Rapid City, South Dakota, in conjunction with the American Legion tournament there.

“MLB and USA Baseball are co-sponsoring this program,” Krejci said, “so we’re trying to get out to some of these bigger events and promote the sport. It’s great to see the kids having fun with baseball.”

PUBLIC NOTICE REGULAR MEETING OF THE CRESTON CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 15, 2017 The Creston City Council met in regular session at 6:00 o'clock p.m. on the above date in the Council Chambers of the City Hall Complex with Mayor Lybarger presiding.

Roll call being taken with the following Council members present: Koets, Wilson, Carroll, Madison and Freeman. Wintermute and Higgins were absent.

Motion was made and seconded to approve the agenda. All voted aye. Wintermute and Higgins were absent. Motion carried.

Motion was made and seconded to approve the consent agenda, which included approval of minutes of August 1, 2017 regular meeting; claims of $337,125.25 and fund transfers of $17,944.36; and liquor license renewal for Fareway. All voted aye. Wintermute and Higgins were absent. Motion carried.

During Public Forum, Renee Hoyt, 824 S. Park Street, requested City Council do some research on the grant for a K-9 vehicle. Is it going to be worth the expense to pay an officer who lives out of county; the gas mileage to drive back and forth from Ringgold County to Union County? And investigate why this officer is no longer the K-9 Officer for Ringgold County. She would also like Council to look at what the statistics were of the drug arrests and traffic stops when the City did have a K-9, and was it beneficial. If it's not beneficial, she doesn't feel the city tax payers should be responsible for paying for any of it.

Joyce Manley, 403 Russell Street, agrees 100 percent with Renee Hoyt and wants to know the benefits of having a K9 dog and what it's going to cost the tax payers for someone to drive back and forth to Ringgold County. Is his car going to be equipped when he gets it, or is someone going to have to be hired to equip it? She doesn't see the benefit of having a K-9 dog in a small community. Why don't they have someone from Creston be the K-9 officer?

Mayor Lybarger announced now is the time for a Public Hearing for the purpose of accepting public comment on the City making application for a USDA Rural Development Grant for financial assistance to purchase a police K-9 patrol car. No one spoke in favor of, or against making application for the grant, and there was no written correspondence in favor of, or against making application for the grant. He then called the Public Hearing to a close.

COMEBACK Washington linebacker Azeem Victor is another preseason All-American coming back from an injury. Like James, Victor blew out his knee, though his injury came in November in Washington’s only regular-season loss against USC. Victor seemed to be on his SECOND TEAM way to an All-America season last year. He was leading OFFENSE the Huskies with 68 tackles when he went down.

REPEATERS - Washington State guard Cody O’Connell was the only offensive player selected to the first team who was also a 2016 All-American.

- Utah punter Mitch Wishnowsky, who was second in the nation last season with a 47.7-yard average, was selected to the first team after being an All-American last year.

Navy dismisses 7th Fleet commander after warship accidents systems and bridge resource management. It will include training and an expert assessment of each ship.

The Navy said that Rear Adm. Phillip Sawyer, who had already been named as Aucoin’s successor, would assume command immediately.

On Monday, the destroyer USS John S. McCain and an oil tanker collided off Singapore, injuring five sailors and leaving 10 others missing. Seven sailors died in June when the destroyer USS Fitzgerald collided with a container ship off Japan.

Swift, speaking Tuesday at a news conference in Singapore where the McCain is now docked, said Navy divers had found remains of some of the missing in a flooded compartment in the ship. He also said Malaysians assisting in the search had found a body,

but it had not been determined if it was a McCain crew member.

The 7th Fleet said in a statement Wednesday that Navy and Marine Corps divers are continuing to search flooded compartments in the McCain in the hope of locating more of the missing sailors.

The sea-based search east of Singapore “is expanding to encompass a greater area as time goes on,” it said.

Singapore’s government said the search area more than doubled Wednesday to about 5,500 square kilometers (2,120 square miles) with aircraft and vessels deployed by the U.S., Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Australia.

At least five of the 10 missing sailors have been identified by relatives.

Crew member Logan Palmer is from the Decatur,

Illinois, area and his mother identified him as missing, U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis said.

April Brandon in Michigan said the military informed her that her son, Ken Smith, is missing. She said Smith’s father, stepmother and grandfather served in the Navy.

Brandon said, “His father and I couldn’t be prouder of our son.”

The family of Jacob Drake of Ohio was told he was among the missing, the Columbus Dispatch reported.

Megan Partlow told The Associated Press that Drake was her fiance and she last had contact with him Sunday in a text message.

Family members of Dustin Doyon from Connecticut confirmed that he was among the missing. Local police said the Navy was in communication with the family.

TOKYO (AP) — The U.S. Navy dismissed the commander of the Asia-based 7th Fleet on Wednesday after a series of warship accidents raised questions about its operations in the Pacific.

A two-sentence statement said Adm. Scott Swift, commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, had relieved Vice Adm. Joseph Aucoin “due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command.”

The move follows four Navy accidents in the Pacific since late January, including two collisions that left sailors dead and missing.

“While each of these four incidents is unique, they cannot be viewed in isolation,” Swift said earlier.

He said the Navy will carry out a “deliberate re-set” of all its ships in the Pacific, focused on navigation, mechanical
