Taylor County Sheriff’s Deputy Tyler Couch prepares Ciba to train Aug. 17 at Taylor County Sheriff’s Office. Ciba searched in an open grassy area for a pen held by a person as if the pen was evidence in a case. Ciba is the newest addition to Taylor County Sheriff’s Office and can sniff out various drug scents and track evidence and people.

BEDFORD — Taylor County Sheriff’s Deputy Tyler Couch tosses a pen into an open grassy area. He grips the leather lead in his hand, at the end of which is a Slovakian shepherd drooling with excitement.

Couch yells a command in Czech and releases the lead and the dog jets off into the grass, nose down and feet clipping along. Suddenly, the dog turns to face Couch and, in his excitement of finding the pen, only lies down part of the way.

Couch yells another command and the shepherd comes to his side, awaiting his prize of a rubber toy being flung for him to fetch.

Couch is the handler of the latest addition to Taylor County Sheriff’s Office, a Slovakian shepherd named Ciba, who can smell various narcotics and sniff out evidence and people.

“He’s just an added tool to give us access to vehicles and places we may not otherwise get access to,” said

So I was like, ‘Hey, do you have any narcotics on you, man, that I need to be concerned about?’ And he said, ‘I’m not going to lie to you, man. I’ve got some dope in my sock right now.’ It was the first traffic stop we did.”

Since that first day, Couch and his K-9 have done or assisted in about 12 narcotics arrests in Taylor County.

First day

Ciba came to the United States about six months ago, after several years of planning and waiting for the jail project in Taylor County to be completed. Then, after several months of Ciba and Couch training together, Ciba’s first day on the job was close to the July 4 holiday.

“I was pretty excited to have the dog. I just did a routine traffic stop with a “I KNOW there’s guy, and every person I do been two vehicles a traffic stop with generally sits in the front seat with me we’ve been able to while I write them out.

JOSHUA WEED Couch thought Ciba Taylor County sheriff wasn’t used to people sitting so close in the patrol vehicle, but that wasn’t the case.

West Adams Street road closure reminder City of Creston employees would like to remind people that West Adams Street between McKinley Street and Cottonwood Road is closed for the Adams Street bridge replacement project.

The contractors have said there has been traffic going through the work area, making it difficult to safely perform the work, said Creston Public Works Director Kev-

in Kruse.

The orange fence used for the road closure may be pulled off to the side allowing for trucks to bring in or haul away materials. However, this does not mean the road is open to through traffic. Kruse asks the public to obey the road-closed signs and not travel through the work zone on Adams Street. He said this is for everyone’s safety.

pulling a driver over because Couch witnessed a traffic violation or he believes the driver may be doing something illegal, such as transporting drugs long distances. If Couch has a suspicion narcotics may be present, he asks to do a search.

“Most people are good, but it’s that time they don’t give me consented search. I say, ‘OK, well, I’m just going to run my dog around.’ If there are any narcotics odors coming from the vehicle, he will hit on it and it will give me probable cause to search the vehicle,” Couch said.

The 2-year-old K-9 is trained to detect odors radiating from marijuana, cocaine, heroin, ecstasy and methamphetamine. He reacts by biting, scratching and breathing heavily. Ciba can also sniff out weapons and large amounts of currency, which may be separate charges or connected to narcotics.

Outside of patrol, Ciba and his 26-year-old handler will train on various things to keep Ciba active. They do a small training every day, and also do more intensive trainings throughout the month with the department and other neighboring departments.

“They have a ton of energy. Normally he’s wound for sound and running all over the place,” Couch said. “He loves playing fetch, and outside of work he just hangs out with the family.”

“This has been in the works for a while,” Weed said. “When I hired Tyler, we knew he wanted to be a K-9 handler from the beginning.”

A good chunk of imported K-9s come from Germany, but Ciba came from the Czech Republic through I80 K9 Training Services in Atlantic. Cass County Sheriff’s Deputy Kyle Quist, a certified master trainer and current K-9 handler in Cass County, assisted Couch in the search to find a sociable K-9.

“My dad was a K-9 handler. He has like 30 years of experience. So I’ve been around police dogs my entire life,” Couch said. “I’ve always wanted to be a K-9 handler because of my dad. But, I had to make a lot of drug arrests to show there was a need. I feel like if there’s anything the guys here know I’m good at, it’s drug stuff. I had to show I knew what I was doing.”

“I thought Creston could really use something like that. It’s a really good value for the money,” Curry said. “They have their $5 hot-and-ready pizzas. We thought the type of people who are in Creston would really like it. There’s a lot of working class, industrial areas.”

The Little Caesars restaurant will feature a drive-thru window on the west side of the building.

Curry said he’s noticed Creston has a heavy lunch crowd and thought the pickup window would serve as a good option for people who need to grab lunch in a hurry.

“There’s not a lot of pizza places that offer that, so we thought it was something that would work well in Creston,” he said.

Curry, who will serve as the on-site store manager, said he hopes to hire between 25 and 30 people right away for positions

Ciba is certified in suspect apprehension, narcotics, evidence search, area search and tracking. The whole process to get Ciba to the United States took about a year.

Ciba is the first K-9 program for Taylor County Sheriff’s Office. According to Weed and Couch, Ciba has been an asset to the department and made their jobs a little easier.

“I feel like he has made my job easier when I do narcotics stuff,” Couch said.

“That’s why we got this dog.

That’s why we invest this money, to help out the community and hopefully deter people from doing drugs.”

Building

In addition to opening the Little Caesar’s in the southwest corner of the building, Curry plans to renovate the rest of the building and lease it out.

Check ‘n Go currently operates out of the building and plans to stay there.

But, the building also offers a 6,000-square-foot showroom that could house a large retailer. The building also includes warehouse space, for which Curry said he already has one interested tenant.

He also plans to have some office space available for rent.

“I think with a nice, highway frontage like this, a retailer in the large space that draws in a large amount of customers would be nice, because it helps the other retailers in our building,” Curry said.

Curry worked with Gay Lynn Owens of GO Realty in Creston to find the right space for his business needs. Community Business Lenders worked with Nishna Valley Credit Union to provide financing for the project, while Curry also received financing help from the Grow Iowa Values Fund.

Clinton birthday bash HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Bill Clinton hosted a gathering of lifetime friends and Hillary campaign donors at a mansion on Martha’s Vineyard on Saturday for his 70th birthday party. Bill is really starting to get up there. After everybody sang Happy Birthday, a registered nurse popped out of a giant bran muffin.

Hugh Hefner finally closed escrow on the Playboy Mansion in Holmby Hills Friday and sold it for $100 million. That sounds about right. The appraiser estimated the house is worth $10 million, the property worth $40 million, and the cocaine in the carpet is worth $50 million.

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign began gaining in the polls last week after the Donald softened his tone and stuck to the issues. His campaign manager Paul Manafort resigned over past dealings overseas. It turns out

Celebrities must have endorsements to connect with Lochte the public. If Gandhi was alive today, he’d be telling TV viewers every five minutes that he lost 60 pounds on NutriSystem.

Hawaii celebrated its Statehood Day Sunday with a quiet ceremony at the governor’s man-

sion in Honolulu. It marked 57 years since President Eisenhower signed a law making Hawaii the 50th state in the United States.

U.S. statehood officially cut off the island’s original ties to Kenya.

Russian troops massed on the border of Ukraine Monday, threatening to invade the country on Ukraine’s Independence Day and annex it to Russia as they did Crimea. It drew a fast response. The minute President Obama heard the news, he asked the next three groups if he could play through.

President Obama returned to work Sunday after a two-week vacation on Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts. He visited the flooded area north of New Orleans. Obama You know the

president’s been playing a little too much golf when he referred to Louisiana as the world’s largest two-stroke penalty.

Russian warplanes were withdrawn from Iran air bases from which they’d launched weekend air raids on ISIS in Syria. Russia joined the United States, Britain and France in waging the war on ISIS. The alliance allowed ISIS to tie Nazi Germany’s all-time record for strength of schedule.

Donald Trump agreed to revisit his promise to deport all illegal aliens after a weekend meeting with Hispanic leaders in New York. He still vows that his policy will be be firm. Last night an illegal alien and a Muslim walked into a bar, and Donald Trump bought the bar so this never happens again.

Celebrity rehab host Dr. Drew Pinsky said Hillary Clinton is suffering from a medical ailment he’s noticed from watching her on TV. She adamantly refuses to

release her medical records that would disclose the true nature of her condition. It’s her best chance to be described as Kennedy-esque.

Hillary Clinton stressed her Methodist upbringing Friday in a speech about service to others. It appears that one of her Sunday school teachers got their scriptures crossed up. Nowhere in the Bible does it Clinton state that a lie is an abomination to the Lord and an ever-present help in time of trouble.

Colin Powell denied Hillary Clinton’s claim that he advised her to use private email for State Department business Monday while Donald Trump began back-tracking on his vow to deport all illegal aliens. The race is tightening. In the latest presidential survey, Hillary leads Trump by only three lies.

2016

The influence that Colin Powell has over Hillary Clinton is something to behold. His word is her command. When he tells her to break the law and endanger the nation’s secrets, she doesn’t hesitate. She salutes smartly and does as she is told.

Clinton has been desperate for the moral cover of Colin Powell for her email arrangement since the scandal first broke last year.

Now we’ve learned that Clinton told the FBI that Powell advised her to use private email as secretary of state at a dinner in 2009.

This escalates Clinton’s email defense from “Hey, Colin Powell did it, too,” all the way to “Colin Powell made me do it.”

The Powell defense has given Clinton shills something to say on TV, but it doesn’t make much sense. While the former general used a private email as secretary of state, it was at a time when the department didn’t have a robust email system of its own. And he obviously didn’t set up his own private server. After Powell left State, the department’s rules steadily got stricter about using official email for State Department business and preserving email records – and Clinton blew through them all.

On the advice, we are supposed to believe, of none other than Colin Powell, the Professor Moriarty of Clinton’s illicit email practices. The New York Times reported last week that at a dinner party hosted by former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright that included other for-

King Features commentary Rich Lowry

mer secretaries of state, Albright asked Clinton’s predecessors what counsel they would give her. Allegedly, Powell didn’t advise Clinton (channeling Winston Churchill) that “diplomacy is the art of telling people to go to hell in such a way that they ask for directions,” or (channeling Will Durant) that “to say nothing, especially when speaking, is half the art of diplomacy,” or even to avoid a land war in Asia.

He told her to use private email.

Powell says now that’s not how he remembers it. If Clinton really wanted someone’s permission to use private email, she could have asked the State Department, which she never did. In a new book, the left-wing journalist Joe Conason writes that Clinton had already decided to use private email months before the Albright dinner.

Of course she had, and for own reasons. She wanted to hide as much of her business as possible from journalists and congressional committees seeking information on how she operated. Given the gross intermingling of State Department and Clinton Foundation business, this was only prudent.

If Hillary had her way, no one would know that Clinton Foun-

dation honcho Doug Band tried to get donor Gilbert Chagoury a meeting with the recent ambassador to Lebanon, and Hillary aide Huma Abedin (who, amazingly, held positions at both the State Department and the foundation) was extremely solicitous. No one would know that, in the latest revelation, when Band wanted the Crown Prince of Bahrain to see Hillary, Abedin coordinated with him on trying to set up the meeting.

No wonder that Colin Powell finds Hillary’s effort to enlist him as one of the justifications for her private server so galling.

Over the weekend, Powell told a reporter, “Her people have been trying to pin it on me.”

Referring to a description of his email practices he sent to her (at her request), Powell said, “The truth is, she was using [her private server] for a year before I sent her a memo telling her what I did.”

No one forced Hillary to use her private email for State Department business in a manner so flagrantly against the rules that in any other circumstance (i.e., if she weren’t the Democratic nominee for president), she would be vulnerable to sanction and prosecution. And no one forced her and her husband to run their foundation as a vast pay-to-play scheme whose inner workings must be shielded from public view. That’s her responsibility and no one else’s – certainly not Colin Powell’s.

The solution is totally tubular

Dear Heloise: After reading the comments in your column about things accumulating in the bottom that clog up DISHWASHERS (Heloise here: labels from jars), I’d like to add another thing to check for when one’s dishwasher stops working properly.

I thought I was going to have to replace the dishwasher, which had stopped working. It wouldn’t fill. I don’t recall what prompted me to do it, but I checked the opening from the drain tube that connects from the dishwasher to the garbage disposal. It was plugged with grease. I decided to replace the tube instead of just cleaning it out. A few bucks, a couple of minutes and some elbow grease later, and the dishwasher was working fine. -- C.F., North Beach, Md. CLEAN STOVETOP Dear Heloise: I read your column every day in The Free Lance-Star in Fredericksburg, Va. I was cooking soup and had to bring it to a boil. I did not watch it, and the soup boiled over.

It was a cream soup, and it left a mess on the burner. I could not get it clean. Then I remembered baking soda.

Hints from Heloise I made a paste and worked on the mess quickly, getting it clean. -- Margaret T., via email Baking soda to the rescue again! Using baking soda as a nonabrasive cleaner in the kitchen is a great hint for all readers! For more money-saving, ecologically friendly cleaning hints using baking soda, order my pamphlet by going to www.

Heloise.com, or by sending $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (68 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001.

Use a damp sponge and a little baking soda to clean your kitchen sink and stainless-steel items as well. Make sure to wipe clean when done. -- Heloise

REUSE CONTAINERS Dear Heloise: Here is a hint for reusing the plastic cups that individual-size applesauce and fruit snacks come in. When making gelatin or pudding at home,

FAMILY CIRCUS®

LOCKHORNS® by Hoest & Reiner

these cups make perfect containers to hold them. And they are just the right size for snacking. I even make cups of nuts, trail mix or cubed cheeses, and seal the top with self- sealing plastic wrap for grab-and-go snacks.

-- Lisa W. in Indiana BAKING HINTS Dear Heloise: I do a lot of baking for bake sales and other events. Instead of using toothpicks to hold up plastic wrap away from icing, I use drinking straws. I get a pack of drinking straws and cut them to lengths around 3 inches. Insert them slightly into the cake, and place plastic wrap over the straws.

They don’t poke through plastic wrap like toothpicks do.

I also save wraps from BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker sticks of butter and lay them over my fresh-baked rolls.

This allows the leftover butter on wrappers to melt over rolls while also helping to cover them up. -- A. Dove in West Virginia COOKIE CRUMBLES Dear Heloise: I save the cookie crumbs that are left behind in the package to use as ice-cream topping. -- Denny T., Lexington, Ky.

Horoscope For Thursday, Aug. 25, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19)Steer clear of controversial issues like politics, religion and racial matters, because there is too much confusion today.

Even when it comes to travel plans, you might be indecisive.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)This is a poor day to make important decisions about inheritances and shared property. An element of confusion, even deceit, is present.

Plus you might not be strong enough to defend your own best interests.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) It’s hard to stand up to others today, even to defend yourself.

Fortunately, other people may have the same difficulty! It’s definitely a wishy-washy day.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your efforts to get things done at work will be challenged by confusion regarding travel, foreign countries and the timing of when things should be done.

Good luck!

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Be careful with social plans or plans regarding vacations.

Leave yourself a loophole in case you have to change things. Similarly, choose less-ambitious projects when dealing with children.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Postpone important decisions about family or real estate situations, because there is too much confusion today. People are indecisive. It’s hard to know what to do.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Today is one of those days where you’re not sure when or how to act. That’s why it might be best to just do nothing. Easy does it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Be careful with financial arrangements and how you handle your money today.

Assume nothing. Take nothing for granted. Guard your possessions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You might feel tired today. This is not a good day to tax yourself or to push your energy too far. Just take care of smaller matters.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Secrets might come out today. Or perhaps you are involved with secret activities.

Be careful and commit to nothing, to be on the safe side.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb.

18) Your efforts to lead others today might be impeded by something. Don’t expect too much from anyone (including yourself). Go slowly.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)Check things out, especially instructions from bosses and authority figures, before you act today. It’s all too easy to go off in a wrong direction. If you are smart, you can save wasted effort and possible mistakes.

YOU BORN TODAY You have common sense. You

are a loyal friend who is reliable. You have an intellectual mind and creative abilities.

This year something you’ve been involved with for about nine years will end in order to make room for something new.

Although this is a year of service to others, it is also a great year to travel. Get ready for a fresh, new cycle!

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, August 24, 2016

Rookie Iowa State coach Matt Campbell has already invigorated a program starved for signs of hope.

Turning that enthusiasm into sustained success will be a much tougher task.

Campbell, just 36 and the youngest Power Five coach in the country, has given a team long stuck in the Big 12 basement plenty of reasons to believe in his vision.

Campbell pulled together one of the best recruiting classes in recent memory last winter despite an extremely late start, and his 2017 class is currently among the top in the Big 12. Campbell has also promised flashy new uniforms — and he and his staff’s ability to navigate social media has only added to the notion that Campbell is the key to a bright future for the Cyclones.

But Iowa State has won just five games over the past

two seasons, and it’ll have to replace nearly its entire offensive line from Campbell 2015.

The Cyclones open the season on Sept. 3 against Northern Iowa.

“I think our team and our football players within the program have really started to buy into the change,” Campbell said. “Our concentration points didn’t have much to do with scheme, I’ll be honest with you. A lot of it had to do with some core values that I believe in and attitude and effort, really understanding the ability to perfect your craft.”

SEASON OPENER As strange as it might sound, winning the home matchup against the Panthers will be enormous for

Campbell. Even though former coach Paul Rhoads said on his way out the door that Iowa State will make a bowl in 2016, the Cyclones will have to have a lot of things go right for that to happen.

A loss to their FCS in-state rivals would dampen much of the enthusiasm Campbell generated in the offseason — especially with a trip to Iowa City to face the hated Hawkeyes looming the following week.

SKILL POSITION POWER The Cyclones have two of the best skill position players in the Big 12 in sophomore running back Mike Warren and wide receiver Allen Lazard. Warren — who in an ironic twist nearly committed to Campbell when he was at Toledo before Iowa State swooped in — led all freshmen nationally with 1,337 yards rushing in 2015. “I recruited the heck out of him

and at one point he was this close to committing to me at the University of Toledo.

So I was fired up to see that face in the locker room when I came to Iowa State,” Campbell said. Lazard, a former fourstar recruit who passed up an offer from Notre Dame to stay at home in central Iowa, caught 56 passes last season with six touchdowns.

LINED UP? The biggest concern for Iowa State is whether or not its patchwork line will open enough holes for Warren or keep quarterback Joel Lanning upright enough to get the ball in Lazard’s hands.

Tackle Jake Campos is the lone returning starter

finish strong if it can survive a front-loaded schedule without getting demoralized.

The Cyclones close the season with a trip to woeful Kansas, followed by home games against Texas Tech and West Virginia — all games they should have a chance to win. But road trips to Iowa and TCU in September will make getting off to a strong start very difficult for Iowa State.

PREDICTION

Iowa State moves to 3-2 with a home upset of Baylor to open October. But the Cyclones get buried under the weight of the Big 12 season and finish 4-8 — despite giving vaunted Oklahoma a major scare during a ThursKEY GAMES day night home game in NoIowa State has a chance to vember.

Area Volleyball: NV drops four matches Tuesday Nodaway Valley’s volleyball went to Dallas Center-Grimes for its first action of the season on Tuesday and lost four matches to bigger programs. The Wolverines fell to Urbandale, Southeast Polk, Fort Dodge and PCM. Josie Clarke and Paige McElfish totaled 10 and nine kills respectively.

Bailey Wiggins had 11 assists. Kayln Young totaled nine assists and 13 digs. Sadie Marnin had 11 digs and four aces.

“Overall I would say we made good strides towards improvement.

We’re still looking for a combination of players that has the energy and chemistry we’re looking for,” coach Allison Bjork said.

Dinh hits walkoff single, Iowa beats Rhode Island in LLWS SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — Kaiden Dinh hit a walk-off single and Johnston, Iowa rallied past Warwick, Rhode Island 3-2 on Tuesday in an elimination game of the Little League World Series.

Miles Risley led off the bottom of the sixth inning by reaching on an error and Michael Siemer blooped a single into right field to put runners on the corners with one out. Then Jack Emanuel walked to load the bases. After Rhode Island starter Colin Lemieux left due to a pitch limit, Josh Larson hit the first pitch to tie it at 2-2. On the next pitch, Dinh singled through the same hole on the left side to win it. Lemieux allowed just four hits and struck out 13 in 5 1/3 innings. Iowa reliever Tyler Moore threw 60 pitches in four innings and allowed only one earned run. Dinh led off the bottom of the fifth with a solo home run to tie it at 1-1. But Kenny Rix hit the second pitch of the sixth over the leftfield wall to give Rhode Island a 2-1 lead.

The arrival of recent college graduate Aleesha Cleaver to the Southwestern Community College volleyball team as head coach brings just one new face to the fold of the program.

While it’s not unusual to see new faces in community college athletics, the newlook Spartans are seeking their own identity as few of them have experience playing with one another before.

Cleaver replaces coach Ting Liu, who had been at the helm of a program that posted back-to-back losing seasons in his tenure.

With six freshmen trying to adjust into a newly-developing system, Cleaver and assistant coach Rand Hazelton are happy with the effort they’ve seen to acclimate to their teaching.

Cleaver, who has coached high school and club volleyball and played volleyball in

college, brings a useful energy to a team that has just five sophomores. Three of the sophomores are captains, those being Brittany Langendoerfer, Brooke Decker and Sydney Maynes.

Kassie Craig, a sophomore accademically from Harlan, joins the Spartans. Jade Petersen, a sophomore from Southwest Valley, is also new to the program. Petersen joins two other former Southwest Valley Timberwolves on this squad, those two being Maynes and freshman Taylor Damewood.

“We have a lot of really good new players and I think we’re going to be even better than last year, especially with the team bonding we already have going on,” Langendoerfer said.

Even with plenty of questions to answer yet, the team has already gone ahead and set some goals for itself.

“We just kinda had a meeting about team goals and individual goals and academic goals and stuff like

that,” Decker said. “It’s mostly like: What do you wanna get as a kill efficiency, you always be positive on the court, come together after everything.”

Both Langendoerfer and Decker agreed that defeating Kirkwood — who ended the Spartans’ season a year ago — and getting to nationals was a shared goal among the team’s 11 players.

Sydney Maynes was described by Cleaver as a go-to player in the middle. Decker will likely play a huge role as an outside hitter and will join Maynes as attackers at the net. Freshman Ashley Kopplin is expected to play some in the back row, while fellow freshman Chloe Swirczek is expected to settle into the lineup as well, possibly as a setter.

Cleaver doesn’t quite yet know how she wants this team to play, and is still mixing and matching her players to find fits that work.

“I think we need a live game to put in perspective

where they think we are and where they actually are,” Cleaver said.

“Playing against each other is one thing, but then playing against a whole other team is going to be different.” Cleaver said. “Once we start playing some matches and we see who fits where we’ll be able to answer that question (style of play) more in-depth.”

The Spartans have a home scrimmage against Graceland University tonight at 7 p.m. and play their first two matches of the season Friday in Beatrice, Nebraska.

Red hot Royals hold off Marlins, 1-0 MIAMI (AP) — On Tuesday afternoon, on his way to Marlins Park, Eric Hosmer peered at the downtown skyline and considered the length of his journey.

When he was a boy, growing up between Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and Miami, he would sometimes make a similar drive with his parents, Mike and Ileana, and older brother Mikey. They would drive to Sun Life Stadium, the old home of the Florida Marlins, and Hosmer would make

it a point to watch batting practice.

Sometimes, he said, he would pick out one player, Hosmer shagging baseballs during batting practice.

Some day, he thought, that’s going to be me.

“It’s kind of what inspired and started it all,” Hosmer

said.

All these years later, Hosmer returned to south Florida on Tuesday and played his first professional game in his hometown. With close to 50 or 60 friends and family in attendance, he finished 0 for 3 with a walk and left two men left on base. And by the end, he got exactly what he wanted.

On the first night of a sixgame road trip, the Royals edged the Miami Marlins 1-0 in front of a crowd of 18,513.

As starter Yordano Ventura

tossed six scoreless innings, Kansas City stretched its winning streak to nine games and improved to 14-2 since Aug. 6.

Lorenzo Cain broke a scoreless tie in the top of the sixth, lacing an RBI single to center field off Marlins starter Andrew Cashner. Ventura and the Royals’ bullpen seized control of the game in the final innings.

Rookie Matt Strahm struck out two during a scoreless seventh, running his streak

of scoreless innings to nine.

Joakim Soria worked his ninth straight clean appearance in the eighth. Kelvin Herrera notched his eighth save in the ninth.

By the end, the Royals’ bullpen had run its streak of scoreless innings to 32.

For six innings, Ventura and Cashner dueled. Ventura stranded six runners through the first four innings. The Royals, meanwhile, struggled to do damage against the 6-foot-6 Cashner.

Finally, they broke through in the sixth. The inning began with a single from Paulo Orlando, which represented just the third Royals hit in fiveplus innings. Orlando would steal second base before Cheslor Cuthbert grounded out to third base.

Cain watched three balls before whacking a 3-0 pitch into center field. For the Royals, it was all the offense they needed.

The streak stretched for another night.

Mets bullpen saves the day in a win over the Cardinals ST. LOUIS (AP) — From disaster to a winning streak.

Despite starter Jon Niese recording just one out, the Mets held off the Cardinals for a 7-4 win Tuesday night in the first game of this important three-game set at Busch Stadium. Robert Gsellman threw 3 2/3 scoreless innings in his major league debut as part of a bullpen that yielded just one run.

Five players recorded an RBI, and the Mets (6362) have won three straight games for the first time since July 2-4.

The momentum the Mets grabbed from Wilmer Flores’ three-run homer in the first lasted for less than 20 minutes, as Niese had to leave after just 21 pitches.

Niese has an aching left knee that he’s pitched with,

and it didn’t flare up when he warmed up in the bullpen.

Three of the first four batters then reached in the first, with two earning walks and Brandon Moss delivering an RBI single.

After Moss’ hit, Niese departed and the Mets turned to Gsellman, who’d been promoted to take Steven Matz’s spot on the roster, and to provide insurance in case Niese couldn’t pitch deep into an outing. Seth Lugo had been serving as the team’s long man, but moved into the rotation due to Matz’s left shoulder discomfort. The team is hopeful Matz can return next week, possibly Tuesday.

Gsellman primarily served as a starter in the minors, and Niese’s early exit made his first appearance with the

team nearly amount to a start. The right-hander put himself in two jams, but did well by holding the Cardinals scoreless on just two hits while walking three.

The first pitch Gsellman tossed resulted in an RBI double by Yadier Molina, and Jhonny Peralta followed with an RBI groundout that evened the game at 3. Both runs were charged to Niese and Gsellman stranded the go-ahead run at second.

In the third and fourth innings, the Cardinals put two runners on with two outs, but Gsellman escaped both situations. Asdrubal Cabrera made a diving stop on a ball up the middle to end the third, and Stephen Piscotty lined out to Cabrera to end the fourth.

Gsellman threw 75 pitches

and could be in line to start Sunday against the Phillies if the Mets place Niese on the disabled list.

Josh Smoker allowed a run in two innings following Gsellman’s departure, but was aided by a leaping catch

by Yoenis Cespedes at the wall to rob Piscotty of a homer in the sixth.

After Gsellman ended the first with the game tied, he pitched the rest of his innings with a lead.

The Mets’ offense had no problems with the Cards’ Jaime Garcia.

Flores’ three-run homer gave him nine against lefthanders this year, and the Mets added two more runs

in the second when Cardinals shortstop Jedd Gyorko failed to make a play.

Reyes hit a sharp grounder to Gyorko’s left that most shortstops make or at least knock down, but it got by him for an RBI single that gave New York a 4-3 edge. Cabrera followed with an RBI double into the right-center gap to make it a two-run edge.

Justin Ruggiano, who’s hit well against lefties since returning from the disabled list, added to the lead in the fourth with his second homer in six days, upping the lead to three runs.

The Mets, who struggled with lefties earlier in the

year, tagged Garcia for six runs in four innings.

They may need more of these efforts going forward due to the compromised rotation.

“We haven’t hit, so it’s certainly hard to say, but yeah, we have the potential to do it with the power in our lineup.

What we’ve got to do is get some guys on,” Mets manager Terry Collins said before the game. “With the addition of Jay (Bruce) and Cespedes now back in the lineup, you look at the depth of the lineup, if some guys get pushed down (in the lineup), yeah, I think we can do that.”

Arrieta pitches Cubs past Padres SAN DIEGO (AP) — Jake Arrieta earned his National League Cy Young Award because of his 95 mph fastball with pinpoint control and a wicked slider that can buckle the knees of opposing hitters.

But Arrieta appreciates different approaches and is getting plenty of enjoyment watching Chicago Cubs teammate Kyle Hendricks frustrate opponents with his crafty style.

“He’s one of the most fun pitchers for me to watch,” Arrieta said before he pitched eight scoreless innings in the Cubs’ 5-3 victory over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night. “He’s out there pitching. He’s breaking down video. He’s scouting according to his stuff and pitches to the report very well.

“There aren’t many surprises when you face Kyle —

you’re going to get a fastball, changeup and occasional curve, but it’s so much harder to hit than it looks. He’s placing the ball right where he needs to 90 to 95 percent of the time and he’s changing speeds.”

Arrieta held his own Tuesday in limiting the Padres to two hits and three walks. But thanks to the power surge of Addison Russell and Kris Bryant, the Cubs didn’t have to rely totally on Arrieta and survived a shaky ninth when closer Aroldis Chapman had to be summoned after three of the first four batters reached safely against rookie Felix Pena.

Russell hit his fifth home run in his last five games, a two-run blast to left-center field in the fifth inning. Bryant, playing in front of nearly 300 family members and supporters from his days at the University of San Diego,

hit his third homer in four games in the third as the Cubs coasted.

Arrieta had been fighting a bout with wildness. He walked a career-high seven in 5 2/3 innings in his last start Thursday against the Milwaukee Brewers. Arrieta has spoken with rookie catcher Willson Contreras and coach Mike Borzello about using a slightly higher target to establish his sinker and find the right release point.

“Typically, being under the strike zone with the sinker isn’t a big issue,” Arrieta said. “I need to be a little bit higher with the strike zone earlier in the count.

If you miss under with one here and there when you’re ahead, it’s really not an issue.

“And I got away from using some secondary stuff early (against the Brewers).”

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Detroit Tigers scored three runs in the sixth inning and three more in the seventh that helped defeat the Twins, 8-3, on Tuesday night.

The Tigers improved to 8-2 against the Twins this season and 4-0 at Target Field.

Victor Martinez hit a two-run home run and finished 3-for-5 with three runs scored for the Tigers. Miguel Cabrera also had three hits.

Erick Aybar, J.D. Martinez and Justin Upton each had two hits and Cameron Maybin, batting ninth, had one hit and three RBIs. The Tigers benefited from a couple of wild pitches by right-hander Kyle Gibson in the sixth inning, which led to the first of the three runs. Victor Martinez singled and went to second on a wild pitch. J.D. Martinez extended his hitting streak to 13 games with a single that moved Victor Martinez to third. Victor Martinez then scored on Gibson’s second wild pitch of the inning to tie the game at 3.

Diagnostic tools added at CHI Health Mercy Corning CORNING – CHI Health Mercy Corning recently added two new diagnostic tools to support quality patient care.

The radiology department installed the SOMATOM Perspective CT scanner from Siemens Medical Solutions and the other new equipment is the Philips EPIQ ultrasound system.

A key reason for the upgrade in the equipment is the ability of the SOMATOM 64-slice Perspective CT scanner to extend the range of available examinations to patients at reduced radiation doses. The scanner is an innovative solution that helps to provide maximum care for patients at minimum radiation exposure. “In our continued efforts to deliver the best patient care our new scanner incorporates dose-reduction technologies along with patient-centric features that streamline the scan, making for a comfortable and relaxed patient experience,� said Gary Pontius, radiology supervisor. “We will be doing procedures significantly faster than previously able to perform. This is important while being able to provide a higher-quality diagnostic image.�

The SOMATOM Perspective can image all body regions and is able to detect small diagnostic details by using information from 64 slices. With the added benefit of a 38-mm-wide detector, trade-offs between scan speed and image quality are not necessary and breath hold-time for patients is reduced, thereby decreasing the need for rescans. This can be a key factor for imaging children and getting quality images. “We are excited that we are now able to offer lung

cancer screening for patients identified at risk but who are not currently showing signs of cancer. Medicare and private insurance will cover this screening for individuals who have reached a certain age and smoked for years but have no symptoms of cancer,� said Lisa Wolfe, director ancillary services. “Early detection of any cancer improves treatment success and survival rate.�

The new CT scanner was possible because of a grant received by the hospital. “We are extremely grateful to the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust for their philanthropic support of health-care in our communities,� said Deb Goldsmith, president of CHI Health Mercy Corning. “As a regional, rural critical-access hospital, keeping up with technology can be difficult. This grant allowed us to provide the quality of care our patients expect, in a setting close to home.�

Philips EPIQ5, new ultra-

sound equipment, is another improved diagnostic tool within the radiology department.

This equipment is designed to allow for a quick and accurate diagnosis in less time. The advanced capability of EPIQ5 helps provide enhanced clinical information from each scan as well as fast and consistent exams. This reduced scanning time is especially crucial in the case of patients who are critically ill and for pediatric patients where patient movement is an issue. “Again, the selection of this equipment was about the difference we can make for our patients with performing quality images for diagnosing illnesses. The Philips EPIQ5 has improved clarity of images, through pure wave technology,� said Pontius.

Also noted was the resolution which has vastly improved over past equipment and allows the technologist better penetration through layers while still capturing quality im-

ages for diagnostic purposes.

A key group of patients will be those needing vascular studies because the equipment has an improved sensitivity to blood flow for carotid arteries and arteries in the leg. “Both of these diagnostic tools are digital and that means that the image is rapidly connected to the patient’s record within our EPIC system,�

Wolfe said. “This gives the provider, no matter where they are located, the ease of review and diagnosis for the patient.�

Pontius and Wolfe both shared that the equipment is only one part of the equation for providing quality care. “We have outstanding trained staff members able to utilize the equipment while at the same time being compassionate in their interaction with the patient. The staff, equipment and high quality customer service provided to our patients will continue in our community well into the future.�
