DES MOINES, Iowa -- The Iowa Supreme Court seems to agree with Kevin Costner that theres no better place to play baseball than on fields cut out of the corn.The court on Friday cleared the way for a 24-field baseball complex at the Field of Dreams movie site in Dyersville, upholding a lower courts decision that the City Council properly rezoned the property from agricultural to commercial.The ruling came on an appeal by some Dyersville residents who sought to block the development of the All-Star Ballpark Heaven youth baseball and softball complex, fearing the complex would cause disruptions to surrounding farm operations and traffic, among other things.The complex is to be centered on the site where Field of Dreams, starring Costner, was shot. The movie was released in 1989 and has been embraced by people across the country, who connected with its story of a farmer who carved a baseball field out of his corn crop. Thousands of people make the drive to the small town about 140 miles northeast of Des Moines to run the bases at the baseball diamond and walk out to the cornfields that border the outfield.An attorney for the residents who opposed the decision, Susan Hess, had argued for the courts to overturn the rezoning, saying members of the City Council werent impartial and acted in a quasi-judicial manner rather than legislative in approving the rezoning.The Iowa Supreme Court relied on its rulings in previous cases to side with the City Council, saying the councils rezoning decision did not weigh the legal rights of one party versus the other.The council weighed all of the information, reports, and comments available to it in order to determine whether rezoning was in the best interest of the city as a whole, Justice Bruce Zager wrote.An attorney for the city, Doug Henry, said the Iowa Supreme Court ruling settles the matter and clears any hurdles to the building of the baseball complex.Hess did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment.

Wholesale Vapormax 3 .J. -- Pitcher Carl Pavano is retiring after 14 major league seasons. The NRLs decision to axe their under-20s competition will not only spare teenage talents of the limelight but might even save their lives, according to former bad boy Sione Faumuina.ARL Commission chairman John Grant confirmed that next years Holden Cup will be its last as the NRLs second-tier competition, replaced by the NSW and Queensland state leagues.Its a move Faumuina believes will lessen the pressure and spotlight surrounding the games upcoming stars, some of whom have committed suicide in recent years.The former New Zealand prodigy recalled in his recent book The Second Phase how he threw away all his earning potential after being lured by a toxic mix of limelight and alcohol.My last year at North Queensland in 2008 was the first year of the 20s and what I found back then, and it still happens today, a lot of these young boys have the sense that theyve made it when in actual fact they havent made anything, he told AAP.Faumuina, 35, is attempting a fairytale comeback in the Queensland Cup.He balances his time coaching local teenagers in Brisbane, warning them of the pitfalls of the NRL.I tell them straight up, the under 20s is a third-tier, not second tier. I say the second tier is the state league, so their goal shouldnt be to play under 20s. The goal should be to play state cup, he said.And they get really upset. A lot of kids get disappointed when they dont go on and play NRL.Thats where I think the NRL have identified, weve pulled these kids in too early. Weve exposed them to too much, too early. Once the under 20s came in, they started targetting them around 12-13.ddddddddddddFaumuina remains close with former teammate Nigel Vagana, who has been at the forefront of the welfare work across the NRL for the past seven years. He says the game is doing more than it ever has before in looking after its own.I know that they have a lot of emphasis on wellbeing and education now as opposed to 10 years ago. The systems they have in place, theyre actually world recognised, Faumuina said.You dont hear about that stuff in the media.However he reckons removing the glory of the under-20s competition and giving reserve grade more acclaim is just as critical in helping shift kids attitude to their prospective careers.Another key benefit is pitting the most prodigious talents in the game under the wings of the more mature men in both the NSW and Queensland Cups.The standout kid that lives in Central Queensland or Sydney, whichever state league is in line with where they stay, they dont have to leave, Faumuina said.This is the whole point behind it. They dont need to leave the comfort of their families, their friends, and they will be able to see pathway through to the NRL through the state league.?Readers seeking support and information about suicide prevention can contact Lifeline on 13 11 14.Suicide Call Back Service 1300 659 467.MensLine Australia 1300 78 99 78.Multicultural Mental Health Australia www.mmha.org.au.Local Aboriginal Medical Service available from www.vibe.com.au.
