Maytag Pool fixes in the works

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Newton Park Board heard an update Wednesday about work underway at Maytag Pool. Newton Parks Operations Superintendent Nick Cummins listed off several items that have been completed along with future projects for next spring.

“It is a lot of behind the scene stuff that won’t be visible,” Cummins said.

Included in that is the replacement of valves for the water slides, which will provide water flow regulations along with various pipes as a part of proactive maintenance.

The pool is also receiving electrical upgrades to get it up to code.

On the exterior of the pool, the staircases leading down to the pool will be evaluated and potentially replaced depending on their condition. Also,

David Dolmage/Daily News Sonja Ranck, CEO at Skiff Medical Center discusses the need for change to the state code to better serve patients struggling with mental health issues during a forum at Skiff Medical Center in Newton Wednesday afternoon.

Skiff looks to lawmakers for help with mental health crisis

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News

Administrators at Skiff Medical Center want changes in the Iowa state code to better serve patients dealing with mental health issues and they’ve come to local legislators seeking help. On Wednesday mental health advocates met with lawmakers Sen. Chaz Allen and Rep. Wes Breckenridge to talk about shifting some sections of the state’s code, which they say will help ease the mental health crisis the state is facing.

Currently, Iowa ranks last in the nation in terms of mental health, and the closure of two state mental health hospitals, in Clarinda and Mount Pleasant has strained the resources of smaller hospitals like Skiff, who are seeing a surge of mental health patients in their emergency rooms.

Sonja Rank, Skiff ’s CEO, said hospital emergency rooms aren’t always the best place to treat patients suffering from mental health issues, and should be used a last resort. Medical professionals are asking the state to help increase the levels of sub-acute and post-acute care to patients.

“We want to have some level of influence to make it better

David Dolmage/Daily News State Rep. Wes Breckenridge, D-Newton, listens during a mental health forum Wednesday afternoon at Skiff Medical Center in Newton.

because people are suffering and they’re not getting the treatment they need,” Ranck said.

Acute care typically takes places in the emergency room, where hospital staff works to stabilize patients in crisis. Creating better

systems for sub-acute care would help hospital staff and mental health workers in the county to identify patients with mental health issues before they reach the emergency room. Increasing post-acute care options will give hospital staff better options to help patients manage their mental health needs outside of the emergency room, Ranck said.

Emergency room treatment is expensive, and Ranck said she believes it isn’t always the best option to treat patients dealing with mental health issues.

“We need to spend every dime exactly where it’s needed,” Ranck said. “The emergency room is not always the most appropriate place to receive that care, but it often becomes the default.”

Combating mental illness mean changing attitudes about the condition, and hospital administrators said they’re hoping to reverse the negative stigma surrounding mental illness, which often leads patients to delay treatment for fear of being publicly shamed for their condition. To break that cycle, administrators have created a flyer that addresses myths about mental illness. Julie Bishop Gibson,

SULLY — Jasper County residents are only a short drive away from a new bakery in downtown Sully. La Rose Marie Bakery, located on Fourth Street, offers a vibrant and welcoming space for sweet and coffee lovers alike.

Kellogg native and bakery owner Karli Roozeboom opened the bakery in August to continue building her clientele with baking and decorating wedding cakes. She said the bakery has now turned into much more.

“When I started, it was just going to be wedding cakes strictly and then all

of these things were going to be extra, but now this is a huge thing in Sully,” Roozeboom said. “Now these baked items have become a huge part of my business.”

The 2014 Lynnville-Sully High School graduate originally studied fashion design at the University of Northern Iowa. After her first semester, she decided to change her major to culinary arts and baking.

“I transferred to DMACC in Ankeny and graduated in the summer of 2016,” Roozeboom said. “I worked at Caché Bake Shoppe for about a year in Des Moines before they permanently closed.”

An area on the west side of the pool that was previously fenced off has been opened up and will no longer be available for rent due to low usage.

It is now a green space available for anybody to use. The pavilion has also been spruced up, getting sanded and sealed up along with a new paint job.

Several changes will be made to the concession stand beside general upkeep including fresh paint.

WEATHER FORECAST

Today is Friday, Nov. 17, the 321st day of 2017. There are 44 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 17, 1917, French sculptor Auguste Rodin (roh-DAN’) died in Meudon at age 77.

On this date: In 1800, Congress held its first session in the partially completed U.S. Capitol building.

In 1947, President Harry S. Truman, in an address to a special session of Congress, called for emergency aid to Austria, Italy and France.

In 1968, NBC outraged football fans by cutting away from the closing minutes of a New York Jets-Oakland Raiders game to begin the TV special “Heidi” on schedule.

(After being taken off the air, the Raiders came from behind to beat the Jets, 43-32.)

In 1973, President Richard Nixon told Associated Press managing editors in Orlando, Florida: “People have got to know whether or not their president is a crook.

Well, I’m not a crook.”

Ten years ago: U.S. Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte (neh-groh-PAHN’tee) delivered a blunt message to Pakistan’s military ruler, President Gen. Pervez Musharraf, telling him emergency rule had to be lifted and his opponents freed ahead of elections. A Nobel-winning U.N. scientific panel said in a landmark report released in Valencia, Spain, that the Earth was hurtling toward a warmer climate at a quickening pace.

Five years ago: Israel destroyed the headquarters of Hamas’ prime minister and blasted a sprawling network of smuggling tunnels in the southern Gaza Strip, broadening a blistering four-day-old offensive against the Islamic militant group.

A speeding train crashed into a bus carrying Egyptian children to their kindergarten, killing 48 children and three adults.

One year ago: President-elect Donald Trump, at Trump Tower in New York, held his first meeting with a world leader, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (SHIN’-zoh AH’-bay), and received advice from former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.

Entertainment Leonardo da Vinci’s Christ painting sells for record $450M NEW YORK (AP) — A painting of Christ by the Renaissance master Leonardo da Vinci sold for a record $450 million at auction on Wednesday, smashing previous records for artworks sold at auction or

privately.

The painting, “Salvator Mundi,” Latin for “Savior of the World,” is one of fewer than 20 paintings by Leonardo known to exist and the only one in private hands. It was sold by Christie’s auc-

tion house, which didn’t immediately identify the buyer. “’Salvator Mundi’ is a painting of the most iconic figure in the world by the most important artist of all time,” said Loic Gouzer, co-chairman of postwar and contemporary art at Christie’s. “The opportunity to bring this masterpiece to the market is an honor that comes around once in a lifetime.”

The highest price paid for a work of art at auction had been $179

million, for Pablo Picasso’s painting “Women of Algiers (Version O)” in May 2015, also at Christie’s in New York. The highest known sale price for any artwork had been $300 million, for Willem de Kooning’s painting “Interchange,” sold privately in September 2015 by the David Geffen Foundation to hedge fund manager Kenneth C. Griffin.

A backer of the “Salvator Mundi” auction had guaranteed a bid of at least $100 million. The bidding opened at $75 million and ran for 19 minutes.

Skiff ’s CHI grant coordinator said reversing public perceptions about mental illness will make it easier for patients to seek treatment before reaching a crisis level.

“A lot of times people just need that initial support, they don’t need to go to the ER,” Bishop Gibson said.

Hospital administrators are also asking the state legislature to revise chapter 229 of the Iowa code, a change which would allow doctors to use the 48hour emergency hold process at any time. Emergency holds are used in involuntary committals, and only during nights, weekends and holidays, when the court is closed. Expanding that process will make it easier for doctors to treat patients hospital administrators said. Another proposed change, to chapter 125 of the Iowa code, would give nurse practitioners the ability to authorize a 48-hour hold.

Breckenridge said he’s concerned about the mental health issues facing the state, and when lawmakers head back into session next year he said he hopes improving mental health treatment and awareness will be something lawmakers focus on in 2018. Calling it a bipartisan issue, Breckenridge said he plans to reach across the aisle to work with his colleagues to find a solution.

“I see this as a top priority,” Breckenridge said.

Breckenridge said meeting with the group has been encouraging for him, and he’s optimistic that some of the ideas he heard Wednesday afternoon will move forward to make positive changes for Iowans facing mental health issues.

“Mental health is a top priority and should be a top priority, we need to do everything we can to support our local community,” Breckenridge said.

“This group has done an amazing job.”

While he admitted the state’s budget issues will remain a factor, Breckenridge said he’s optimistic that by working together legislators and hospital administrators can find solutions to become more efficient at serving patients facing a mental health crisis. Part of the issue is eradicating the stigma that mental health patients often see, and Breckenridge said breaking down those barriers to treatment to encourage patients to seek sub-acute care options is one way to combat the crisis.

“I was so excited when they were visiting about the combined efforts to educate, this is no different than any other medical condition,” Breckenridge said.

They are also working to make it more user-friendly by replacing an ice cream machine with a cooler and packaged ice cream and bottled pop instead of fountain pop.

A problem with wasps gathering close to swimmers will be addressed by hiring an exterminator next season, Cummins said.

Additional items include sealing cracks in the concrete, replacing the final two umbrellas and replacing and potentially purchasing more deck chairs.

“This is good that we are being proactive on things,” board member Amanda Price said.

The board also heard potential changes to the park fee schedule for 2018. Nothing major was proposed by community services manager Brian Laube.

Bakery Continued from Page 1A Roozeboom was self-employed and specialized in cakes for birthday parties, weddings and other occasions. She said when the building came available on Sully’s square she couldn’t pass it up.

Formerly a hardware store, the building offers generous space with several tables, a sitting area, a check-out counter and kitchen.

The building also has several antique items on display from the former hardware store.

“I came to look at it in February of this year, and I thought about it for a while and finally decided on it,” Roozeboom said.

“The building wasn’t finished so the ceiling has been repainted but it’s the original design.”

Other updates included laying down new hardwood flooring in part of the building and moving

in kitchen equipment. Roozeboom said the space will be expanding once the storefront is remodeled.

“The front will be done by next summer,” Roozeboom said.

“I plan to have more seating up front and eventually a couch and a TV for more of a coffee shop vibe and for watching games when they’re on.”

Roozeboom said establishing the name of her business was a decision that took about three months. She came up with the name from combining her last name and her middle name.

“Rose came from the first part of last name and Marie is my middle name,” Roozeboom said.

“And the ‘La’ just fit.”

As the bakery and coffee shop business have taken off, Roozeboom continues to stay busy with wedding cakes. She said she’s booked with wedding cakes until next year in December.

Roozeboom said the feedback

“We have had great support for our mission from many people and

churches.”

How long does it takes to sell your home?

SPONSORED BY Jo Jenkins

By Diane Krieger Spivak You’ve decided to sell your home.

So, how long can you expect it to be on the market?

While statistics gathered from realtor.com reveal that the average house in the Newton Market sells in around 72 days with an average sale price of $122,243, each house is different. We’ve all heard of houses selling in less than a week. Realistically, however, there are three major factors that weigh in on the length of time it will take to sell your house — location, condition and price.

People typically choose a house in desirable neighborhoods — safe, close to good schools and shopping, and ease of commuting. Your realtor can tell you if you live in a desirable area where the demand for housing is high. If you live in such a location your house should sell in a relatively short time, if, of course, the

other factors — condition and price — are met.

Which brings us to condition. Buyers today want a home that’s move-in ready.

Generally, only those with construction experience are willing to deal with structural issues like walls, floors or windows that need repair.

Electrical wiring must be upto-date, and plumbing must be in good working order, and in many cases, potential buyers want paint and floor covering to be updated, as well. Outdoors, make sure your lawn is mowed, shrubs and trees trimmed, and exterior paint is fresh.

Pricing, any realtor will tell you, is critical. If your asking price is too high, your home will obviously take longer to sell, and you’ll probably have to accept a lower bid in the end. Additionally, if your neighborhood is full of homes for sale, selling yours could take longer.

Music session W

edding planning is an interesting thing to tackle. You have to make a lot of big decisions right away like picking a date and a venue. Next, you have to figure out who will be in the wedding party, pick a wedding dress, pick a theme and take engagement photos. You also must decide where to rent tuxes and what they will look like, picture your floral arrangements and decide on what food to serve, etc. The list seems never-ending at the beginning.

My fiancé, Tim, and I have reached a stage where a lot of the main things have been decided, now we just have to figure out the timeline to be sure everything gets accomplished before the big day arrives.

An important part of the ceremony to me is the music. In the grand scheme of things, it’s probably a rather minor detail; however to me, the music per-

In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers formed at a wedding can be the most beautiful part of the puzzle. Expressing faith and love in song showcases these in the perfect way. It’s perhaps the reason why I am drawn to musicals as much as I am. Words can be beautiful. Words in perfect melody and harmony go beyond beauty, in my opinion.

This is why Tim told me I could choose whomever I wanted to sing at our wedding. Carrie Underwood was booked up, so I had to look more locally.

In all seriousness, I had a few people in mind who I knew would do a wonderful job. I have been lucky enough to know a lot of wonderful singers in my life. When it came down to who I wanted to sing at my wedding, I really needed to look no farther than my old high school halls.

Sheryl Mullikin was my vocal teacher

for my junior and senior years at GMG High School. She was and still is one of my favorite teachers ever. She taught me it was OK to just love to sing, no matter if it was in high school choir or in the car. Her husband, Alan, is a minister in a neighboring town and would help Sheryl with our musical productions at GMG. He has a background in the performing arts, and he has a great singing voice.

I knew they would do a wonderful job, and I would get the added bonus of working with them again. I called Sheryl at the beginning of the summer to be sure she and Alan would be willing to do it, and she graciously agreed. We had plenty of time to decide on music, so I waited a few months before contacting her again to go over possible song choices.

We will have at least two Christian songs, and I selected a book of duets that included some songs I thought would work. This past weekend, Tim and I visited them at their home to go over music, but mostly so we could catch up — I’ve

seen them only a handful of times in the 10-plus years since I left high school. I wanted them to get to know Tim and make sure he understood why I choose this special couple to perform on our special day.

What I thought might last 30 to 40 minutes turned into a wonderful two hour visit full of laughter and song. I was asking a lot of the Mullikins to sight-read music, but they handled it like pros. We went through several options and have narrowed it down to three songs.

I expected to just sit and listen to them sing, but I got to join in as we sang “The Lord’s Prayer” for fun. The song has a lot of meaning to my family, so getting to sing it in a church on a Sunday was an exhilarating experience.

I can’t wait to get together with the Mullikins again to hear what they can do with the songs we choose. More importantly, I can’t wait until our wedding is here!

Empty Nest Curt Swarm

Do something, even if it’s wrong If there’s one motto I’ve lived by all my life, and especially now that I’m a (ahem) “senior citizen” it is, “Do something, even if it’s wrong.” I often get caught up in the morning in the myriad things I want to accomplish.

But first and foremost I need to get my 30 minutes of aerobic exercise in, then I need to do the chicken chores, then I need to shower, then I need to eat breakfast, then the phone rings and it’s the pharmacy reminding me of a prescription I need to pick up, then insurance appointments come in on the computer and I need to call the prospective clients and they’re not home so I leave a message, then “breaking news” appears on the television that captures my attention (usually a mass shooting), then Ginnie texts me to see how my morning is going and we do a “back-andforth” for 15 minutes, then one of the prospective clients calls back to tell me they have to “think about it,” then some passerby on the highway pulls in and asks how much my metal pheasants are, then he has some idea for a rusty-metal sculpture he wants built and we spend half-an-hour drawing rough pencil sketches and B.S.’ing, then he tells me he’ll have to “think about it.” I look at the clock and it’s 11:30, I haven’t accomplished a dang thing, and it’s time for lunch (dinner in the country).

That’s when I tell myself, “Do something, even if it’s wrong!” I heard it from my dad.

There are two major projects I want to accomplish before snow flies, both of which I’ve been putting off.

I want to insulate the chicken house, and I want to give the grass its final mowing. Mowing is a major project on our two-and-a-half-acre Empty Nest farm.

I have a 60-inch deck on the John Deere but it still takes a full day to do the mowing and trimming. If I had a zero-turn radius mower I know I could reduce the mowing time by half. Seeing how it’s November, I bet I could get a real good deal on one of those fancy, zero-turn radius mowers. I text the dealer and spend a half an hour figuring out how to use the voice message feature. I tell myself that if I don’t hear immediately back from the dealer (he’ll never figure out the voice recording), I’ll interpret it as a sign that I don’t need a new mower . I don’t hear immediately back. Ahh. I have to get that hen house patched up and insulated before the cold wind starts blowing. There are gaping holes in the north wall and I need to set bales of straw around the foundation. What to do first? Stop it! Do something, even if it’s wrong!

I go to town and get the insulation. That shoots a day. It’s too cold and windy to do anything more.

The second day, I patch the holes on the north side of the chicken house and place bales of straw around the foundation. That’s enough for the second day.

On the third day, a Saturday, Ginnie and I watch the Iowa/Ohio State and Iowa State/West Virginia football games that come on at the same time, different networks. I spend an hour trying to figure out the split-screen feature on the television. I give up and decide to switch back and forth. Iowa upsets Ohio State and Iowa State is embarrassed by West Virginia. Excitement and disappointment clashing together leaves me feeling — uh, blank. And I have accomplished nothing.

On the fourth day I pull the guts out of the chicken house so I can hang insulation on the west wall. The chickens are beside themselves with curiosity and are a nuisance underfoot. I uncover a mouse nest and the chickens go berserk catching mice. Hilarious!

Then the mower dealer texts back (he figured out the voice message after all) and says he has a real good deal on a zero-turn radius-mower and he will deliver.

Dear God, do I stop everything to play with a new toy? No, a job started is a job worth finishing (also, from my dad). I text the dealer back, “I’ll think about it.”

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Q&A: National Adoption Month Q: Why is the month of November celebrated as National Adoption Month?

A: The short answer is President Bill Clinton in 1995 expanded upon a presidential proclamation declared by President Ronald Reagan 33 years ago this month.

Recognizing the joys of parenthood and the dream-come-true reality that a loving family brings to young people awaiting adoption — from infancy through adulthood — November is observed as National Adoption Month in the United States. Society benefits from the stability that nurturing, loving homes provide for the next generation.

Strong families make for strong communities that guide young people to become law-abiding, taxpaying, productive citizens.

Prospective parents who choose to open their hearts and homes to adoptive children are blessed by the bonds of love that moms and dads share with their children. And for the child who longs for the permanency of a forever home, the unconditional love that sons and daughters experience with loving parents brings a lifetime of security that no government program or temporary placement in foster care can replicate.

At any given moment, as many as 400,000 children are in the nation’s foster care system; more than 100,000 of these kids await adoption with a forever family. Of those, more than 23,000 will age out of the foster system with no permanent place to call home for the rest of their lives. Adolescents across America struggle with the transition to independence.

Imagine the hardship parentless teenagers face with no permanent support system to help navigate health care, housing, transportation, money management, job search and higher ed-

The Scoop U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley ucation decisions. During this season of Thanksgiving, let us renew our collective commitment to raise awareness about adoption and keep our eyes, ears and hearts open to help ensure each and every child in our communities grows up in a safe and loving home.

Q: How do you work to raise awareness and improve policies to promote adoption?

A: For many years I have championed efforts in the U.S. Senate to advocate on behalf of young people who are in the nation’s foster care system awaiting adoption. In particular, my advocacy has focused extensively on finding solutions for teenagers and young adults who face a lifetime of no permanent support system.

Kids need and deserve the lifeline of love and stability that can be taken for granted by those who don’t face homelessness or being shuffled from school to school and from one foster family to the next. Millions of children across America may complain about the household rules and chores they must follow under their parents’ roof. But for the kids who don’t have the advantages of parental guidance and supervision, they long for the security and certainty that a permanent, loving family guarantees.

The desire for a forever home goes beyond home-cooked meals, clean clothes and a warm place to sleep. Loving parents hold their kids accountable for finishing their homework, getting good grades and making good choices. They set curfews

and raise expectations to help their children achieve their full potential.

Several years ago, I launched the bipartisan Senate Caucus on Foster Youth to raise awareness and solve problems arising in the foster care system. We have used this platform to turn up the volume and listen to the voices of foster youth. Their experience and expertise helps policymakers understand the challenges in the foster care system. It is in the public interest to help ensure that foster youth and prospective adoptive families receive the necessary support services that will help facilitate the transition to lasting, loving homes.

Kids want to be kids. No matter if they are living with their biological family, foster family or adoptive family, kids want to be loved most of all. Collaborating with foster youth brings integrity to our policymaking discussions.

These adolescents live with a high degree of uncertainty looming on their horizons. Providing support services, such as financial literacy tools that teach the importance of paying bills and landing a job or obtaining an advanced degree can make a world of difference for those who age out of foster care and make the transition to independence on their own.

From my leadership position in the U.S. Senate, I will continue to wield my legislative and oversight authority to advocate for foster youth and support permanent loving homes through adoption. Adoption can be a dream-come-true solution for children in foster care, many of whom have experienced trauma, abuse or neglect. Policymakers, child advocates, social workers and officers of the court have a responsibility to do all we can do to bring safety, certainty and stability to these vulnerable kids.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Man who hates his job drags girlfriend down with griping DEAR ABBY: I have been dating my boyfriend for three years. We have lived together for the last two.

We have a great life together, but there is a problem I don’t know how to solve. “Jeremy” hates his job.

We met in the education department of our college, and after graduation, we both took jobs in the public school system. I enjoy my career, but he loathes his. He complains constantly without seeming to take action on the issue. I know he’s miserable, but he hasn’t looked for other jobs or enrolled in a new school program.

I have bad days, too, but I’ve reached the end of listening to the constant griping. I am usually a positive person, but he is dragging my mood down because of this. He says I need to guide him and give him some direction, but I don’t know what to say. I don’t think it’s my responsibility to tell another adult what he should or shouldn’t do with his life. I don’t mind helping him talk through his choices, but he wants more from me.

This is the man I want to marry. Is there a way to get past this issue and make it work? — UNCERTAIN AND LOST DEAR UNCERTAIN: Until your boyfriend has settled this uncertainty about his work life, any discussion about marriage should be put on hold. I agree you are not qualified to give him career advice. However, you might ask him to tell you what exactly it is that he hates about his job, and what he would rather be doing. His answers may give both of you insight into what he may be better suited for emotionally, and stimulate him to do something positive about his future.

Once he has more clarity, there may be places he can go for career counseling that can help him decide what his next steps should be.

DEAR ABBY: We bought our first home seven months ago. We love it, except for one major issue.

Our neighbor, who’s the same age as I am, is the biggest hypochondriac and laziest person I’ve ever seen.

She was training to be a police officer, but she had a headache every day, so she got let go last year. Ever since then we have been supporting her (food, Wi-Fi, OTC meds, feminine products). I finally cut her off for about a week until she Facebook-messaged me saying she was starving and hadn’t eaten for two days, so I gave in. I gave her a job last week, and she didn’t show up the first day.

What should I do? It’s causing arguments between my husband and me. I hate to think she’s hungry. — TROUBLED IN THE SOUTH DEAR TROUBLED: You are a kindhearted person, but you are being taken advantage of. If your neighbor has family that can be located, they should be notified that she’s unable to care for herself. If no relative is willing to take responsibility for her, contact social services or direct the woman to the nearest food bank or soup kitchen. I suspect her problems are more extensive than headaches and procrastination.

Ex-employee of car dealership charged with theft WEST BURLINGTON — A Danville woman has been charged with theft, accused of stealing nearly $139,000 from an eastern Iowa car dealership where she had worked.

Jeanna Joan Jones, 42, has been charged with first-degree theft. If convicted, she faces up to 10 years in prison.

Investigators say Jones was involved in a scam in which she overpaid commissions to a 70-year-old sales associated at Deery Brothers in West Burlington.

DAVENPORT — A Davenport man convicted in the shooting deaths last year of his parents has been sentenced to life in prison.

Sean Freese, 21, was sentenced Wednesday to two back-to-back life sentences without the possibility of parole. A jury convicted Freese last month of two counts of first-degree murder for fatally shooting 58-year-old Kevin Freese and 57-year-old Donna Freese with a semi-automatic rifle in the early morning hours of Oct. 5, 2016.

Lawmakers tasked with opioids report miss deadline DES MOINES (AP) — A group of lawmakers tasked with evaluating Iowa’s response to the opioid epidemic will miss a deadline for completing a report that offers findings and recommendations for addressing the issue next legislative session.

The six-member Opioid Epidemic Evaluation Study Committee was supposed to deliver an opioids report to GOP Gov. Kim Reynolds and the Republican-controlled Legislature by Nov. 15. The report wasn’t available Wednesday, following a request from The Associated Press.

It’s unclear when the report will be ready, though lawmakers on the committee insisted they

USDA petitioned to include poultry in humane slaughter law DES MOINES (AP) — As Americans prepare to consume some 45 million turkeys on Thanksgiving, an animal rights group asked the U.S. Department of Agriculture on Wednesday to require more humane treatment for turkeys, chicken and other poultry as the birds are sent to slaughter.

California-based Mercy For Animals filed a petition with the USDA that seeks to have poultry covered under the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act. The 1958 law requires that pigs, cows and a list of other animals be free from neglect, abuse and pain as they make their way through a packing plant. The law excludes poultry.

“Chickens, turkeys and other birds are every bit as capable of experience pain and suffering as the cows, pigs and sheep who are protected under the humane slaughter act, and it simply makes no sense to exclude these animals from equal protection under the law,” said Vandhana Bala, an attorney for Mercy For Animals.

were working behind-thescenes to introduce legislation next session aimed at responding to the growing use of opioids, which include both prescription pain relievers such as oxycodone and illegal substances such as heroin. The state has recorded growing abuse of opioids over several years, and lawmakers have indicated it will be a priority when they return to the state Capitol in 2018. It’s still unclear what such legislation will look like.

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds has also highlighted the issue, holding an awareness week recently and outlining some general priorities for monitoring and treating abuse.

A USDA spokeswoman said the agency didn’t have an immediate comment but would release a response later Wednesday.

Tom Super, a spokesman for the National Chicken Council, a trade group for companies that raise chickens for meat, said including poultry in the law is unnecessary, in part because poultry processors “already have strong moral and financial motivation to ensure chickens are handled properly.” At least one large poultry producer has already voluntarily made changes.

Nearly 9 billion chickens raised for meat were slaughtered last year, along with 243 million turkeys and 27 million ducks, according to the USDA. The petition, filed with the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, alleges that cases have been documented of chickens scalded to death in tanks of hot water or having legs and wings cut off by errant beheading machines while alive and conscious.

Mercy For Animals’ video

undercover investigations have shown slaughterhouse workers ripping heads off chickens and violently slamming birds into shackles. In a 2015 case, five workers at a processing plant in California were suspended and a fired worker eventually pleaded no contest to animal cruelty; the same year in Mississippi, the group filed criminal affidavits but no regulatory or criminal charges were filed.

Such violations in a beef or pork processing plant would result in punitive action by regulators.

Super, the National Chicken Council spokesman, said the law cited in the petition was specifically written for large animals in the red meat industry.

“It wasn’t designed to accommodate chicken. In fact, trying to shoehorn chicken harvesting into the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act would probably inflict drastic welfare harm on chickens,” he said. “It’s a square-peg-roundhole situation.”

Iowa’s Jackson leads nation in interceptions IOWA CITY (AP) — The biggest question surrounding Iowa cornerback Josh Jackson entering 2017 was whether he could live up to the lofty standards set by his predecessors.

The biggest question now is whether Jackson will leave for the NFL after the season.

Jackson, a 6-foot-1, 192-pound junior from Corinth, Texas, sidestepped questions about his future on Tuesday, preferring to focus instead on a season that continues Saturday when the Hawkeyes (6-4, 3-4 Big Ten) host Purdue (4-6, 2-5) in their home finale.

Jackson’s performance this season — a nation-leading seven interceptions, 163 interception return yards and 23 passes defended — has changed the trajectory of his young career. Jackson has picked off five passes in his last two games, earning backto-back defensive player of the

week honors from the Big Ten. “He’s one of those guys that can just do it,” Iowa linebacker Bo Bower said of his teammate. “He’s extremely gifted and talented — and then he works his butt off. And obviously, over time, that’s going to accumulate and eventually it’s just going to click. And it just clicked.”

Jackson didn’t become a starter until this season because the Hawkeyes had two standouts at cornerback in Desmond King and Greg Mabin. King won the Thorpe Award in 2015 as the nation’s best defensive back — and Jackson might do so as well after this season.

Jackson redshirted in 2014 and played sparingly as a freshman a year later following a brief stint at wide receiver. Jackson saw further action in 2016, but his path JACKSON | 2B

INA all-state program goes wrong way F

or all of my years of being a sports journalist in Iowa, taking part in the Iowa Newspaper Association’s all-state program is something I look forward to each season.

After the football, boys and girls basketball and baseball seasons, writers and coaches from around the state are invited to Des Moines to take part in an all-state meeting.

The meetings are four times a year.

The basketball ones take half of a day.

Baseball and football can be long days.

But it’s something some of us Iowa journalists have taken pride in.

Sometimes we miss. But most of the time, the teams are picked pretty well.

This year, the INA decided to change the way the program is done. The all-

Submitted Photo

This & That Troy Hyde state programs, moving forward, will be done strictly over the Internet.

The writers who attend these meetings haven’t taken this well. Plenty of discussions on social media have taken place.

It’s therapeutic for me. It helps me get things off my chest.

The in-person meetings that have been going on for the past several years involves plenty of discussion from both writers and coaches. We separate into different classes and try to pick the best teams we can.

The discussion has been thrown out the window. You can discuss anything like this over the Internet. So that’s my No. 1 problem.

I need the coaches’ input on certain players. Offensive linemen don’t have statistics listed online. It’s hard to know who the top guys are with-

out having coaches who have coached them or coached against them and/or writers who see them play every week.

If I do my homework, I can find the insane statistics that Baxter’s Braydon Aker and Travis Lindemoen put up this season. It’s not hard to pick those guys for first team like I did. The numbers warrant it and the Bolts were 8-1.

The one guy who may get left out is Will Clapper, who was a Class 2A allstater last year.

We were given names and schools of the players up for all-state. There are no stats and no information on these players. We have to just know or spend hours figuring it out.

Clapper should be an all-stater. He may not be because other writers may not know how good he is or that he was an all-stater last year.

The same goes for PCM linemen Colton Warrick and Lynnville-Sully’s Jesse Van Wyk. Those guys were key linemen for their team’s offensive units but unless you watch them, it’s hard to know that.

I began the voting process on Mon-

day but after looking at the way things were set up, I decided to take a step back, push the pause button and regroup.

I needed to sleep on it. I needed to figure out how I wanted to deal with this change. I ended up making my selections Tuesday. Hopefully, things work out for the area athletes who deserve recognition. That’s my biggest fear. Some deserving kids will most likely get left out.

The new format can work. But just giving the writer’s names and schools without any other information won’t help it work.

I would much rather spend a few hours in Des Moines chatting about Iowa’s best athletes, but this may be the way it goes down from now on.

Hopefully we can make the best of this situation. Even though our concerns are largely falling on deaf ears.

The teams should be released early next week. Brace yourselves. This could be interesting.

Allgaier races for NASCAR Xfinity title with new crew chief MOORESVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Justin Allgaier will have a new crew chief in the NASCAR Xfinity Series championship race at Homestead-Miami Speedway this weekend.

Veteran car chief Billy Wilburn will call the shots as Allgaier drives for his first career NASCAR title.

Jason Burdett has been suspended for the final race because of an unattached brake cooling hose found during inspection after Phoenix.

Allgaier is one of four drivers competing for the Xfinity title.

He’ll race against JR Motorsports teammates William Byron and Elliott Sadler and Richard Childress Racing’s Daniel Hemric.

Allgaier has two wins, 10 top-5s and 17 top-10 finishes in 32 starts.

“I know that we have an extremely good race team and a lot of depth,” Allgaier said. “When you look at other teams that we run against, I think that would be an area that they probably struggle in. I know for us, we’re making the most of the situation that we’re dealt.

By Ben Walker The Associated Press Max Scherzer of the Washington Nationals coasted to his third Cy Young Award, winning Wednesday for the second straight year in the National League.

Scherzer breezed past Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, drawing 27 of the 30 first-place votes in balloting by members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.

“Yes!” Scherzer shouted, thrusting his arms up when the honor was announced on MLB Network.

Scherzer earned the NL honor last year with Washington and the 2013 American

Scherzer

League prize with Detroit. He became the 10th pitcher with at least three Cy Youngs.

Scherzer was 16-6 with a career-best 2.51 ERA. The 33-year-old righty struck out a league-leading 268 for the NL East champion Nationals.

Kershaw has already won

Jackson

Continued from Page 1B to the starting lineup was blocked by the presence of King and Mabin. Rather than be frustrated by a lack of playing time, Jackson said he watched how hard King and Mabin worked — and how much they studied film — and tried to emulate them once he entered the starting lineup.

“I really wanted to be a leader on this team, and just be accountable,” Jackson said. “I just try to come to work with the mindset to get better.”

It was clear from the opener that the Hawkeyes had found a good one in Jackson. He was brilliant in a 24-3 win over NFL prospect Josh Allen and Wyoming on Sept. 2, spearheading a stellar defensive effort.

Jackson consistently improved as the weeks wore on, but in the last two weeks he established himself as arguably the best cornerback in America.

Jackson had three interceptions against Ohio State’s J.T. Barrett — who entered the game with 22 TD passes since his last pick — to cement a 55-21 rout of the Buckeyes, their worst defeat under coach Urban Meyer.

Jackson was the only bright spot in last week’s 38-14 loss to No. 5 Wisconsin, returning both of his picks for touchdowns. He’s now one interception shy of tying the school record of eight held by King and Nile Kinnick.

“He works really hard off the field. He’s a big film guy,” said running back Akrum Wadley. “If you combine that with his athleticism and his talent, he’s a different type of dude out there.”

three NL Cy Youngs, and was the last pitcher to win back-toback.

Kershaw was 18-4 with a league-best 2.31 ERA and 202 strikeouts.

Stephen Strasburg of the Nationals finished third.

Corey Kluber of the Cleveland Indians easily won his second AL Cy Young Award earlier in the day. He got 28 of the 30 first-place votes, with Boston’s Chris Sale second and Luis Severino of the New York Yankees third.

Kluber led the majors with a 2.25 ERA and his 18 wins tied for the most in baseball. He added to the Cy Young he won with the Indians in 2014.

Kluber and Scherzer both

had rough outings in the playoffs. Voting for the awards was completed before the postseason began.

The final BBWAA honors will come Thursday when the MVP awards are announced in the AL and NL. Nicknamed “Klubot” for his robotic manner on the mound, Kluber finished 18-4 and struck out 265.

Kluber was especially dominant down the stretch, closing out the season by going 11-1 to help Cleveland win the AL Central.

Sale topped the majors with 308 strikeouts — he was the first AL pitcher to fan 300 since Pedro Martinez in 1999. Sale went 17-8 with a 2.90 ERA.

Alabama rises to No. 1 in CFP rankings after Georgia loss

By Ralph D. Russo The Associated Press Alabama and Clemson are back on top of the College Football Playoff rankings, the ninth time over the last three seasons that the Crimson Tide and Tigers have held the first two spots in some order.

Alabama was the selection committee’s new No. 1 on Tuesday night, with Clemson up two spots to No. 2. Miami and Oklahoma followed, joining the top four for the first time this season. Wisconsin was fifth and Auburn was up to sixth.

Alabama and Clemson have met in the last two national championship games, with each winning one. If they win out, there is good chance they could enter the postseason positioned to make it three straight title game matchups.

The Crimson Tide had been second behind Georgia in the first two selection committee rankings, but the Bulldogs and previously No. 3 Notre Dame were beaten

last weekend, opening up the top for changes.

Unbeaten Miami jumped from seventh to third and along with Clemson gave the Atlantic Coast Conference two top-four teams for the first time in the four-year College Football Playoff era.

Oklahoma moved up one spot.

Unbeaten Wisconsin moved up from eighth and is the highest-ranked Big Ten team. Auburn is the highest-ranked team with two losses.

Georgia is seventh and Notre Dame is eighth.

Ohio State is back in the top 10 after an impressive victory against Michigan State, and Penn State is 10th.

Southern California at 11th is the highest-ranked Pac-12 team.

UCF climbed to No. 15, making the undefeated Knights the highest-ranked team from a Group of Five conference. The highest-ranked conference champion from outside the Power Five is guaranteed a spot in

the New Year’s Six bowls.

Who’s In Control?

There were complaints from Miami and Oklahoma fans about being stuck behind Clemson. Committee chairman Kirby Hocutt, the athletic director at Texas Tech, said Clemson’s six victories against teams with winning records gave the Tigers the nod.

He added that the impact of Clemson’s loss to Syracuse (4-6) has been mitigated by injuries hampering Tigers quarterback Kelly Bryant in that game. Bryant came into the game with a sore ankle that hobbled him and missed the second half with a concussion.

Hocutt also pointed at that Miami not having a road win against a winning team worked against the Hurricanes and that Oklahoma’s loss to Iowa State (6-4) at home was weighing down the Sooners.

Oklahoma can rest easy.

The Sooners should be fine if they win out and are Big 12 champions.

Astrograph

Venus and Jupiter form a pattern that will assign a new level of depth and meaning to relationships of all kinds, though especially to romantic relationships. Because this aspect does involve Scorpio energy, it might come with the signature sting of the scorpion.

Love hurts, but not nearly as much as not being loved hurts.

Even so, we’ll be better for it.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 16). You’re growing in power and will be surrounded by people who can handle that instead of be threatened by it.

The next 10 weeks introduce new plans and people to your life. A problem that affects your family will finally be

solved at the start of 2018.

A quest will begin in March.

Aquarius and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 40, 2, 20 and 18.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You sense how your loved ones are feeling and cater to that emotional state. For people who have you in their lives, that pretty much comes with the package. Not everyone you know will be so emotionally intelligent today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

It’s only natural to want to be near the person who makes you feel good about yourself.

Those who make it all about themselves, on the other hand,

are repellent to you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The situation may seem to call for a reaction, but there’s a huge benefit to being slow to react, if any reaction is necessary at all. This is one of those times when you might do nothing at all and the problem solves itself.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

If anyone can de-escalate the tension and purge the atmosphere of negative vibes, it’s you. Mostly this is done by changing the subject. It also doesn’t hurt that you refuse to buy into other people’s realities.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Poke into your fears. Whatever you do to face them, deal with

them or even avoid them -- it will make your life better.

That’s as long as you’re not ignoring fear (which is a strategy that sometimes works, but not today).

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

This is not a good day to share the details of a relationship, especially facts that could cast a bad light. You may come to forgive some transgressions that others won’t, and in that case you’ll be glad you kept them to yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Just because something is socially acceptable, that doesn’t make it right. You’ll notice an injustice and work to make things better, whether or not it’s the popular choice.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

If you want to say no, just say it and be quick about it and all will be well. Saying maybe (when you mean no) will hang both you and the other person in an uncomfortable limbo.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s far too much work to get it all done in a day, but if you start early you’ll have a fighting chance. The morning hours show you energetic, and with a determined gleam in your eye.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Tidiness will lead to happiness. The success key today could be as simple as cleaning up some part of your life that’s gotten out of hand.

This kind of effort may very well change everything.

Routes Available

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Although you’re very likely to take other people’s needs and wants into consideration before you make your move, you are also aware that ultimately they are not the ones who have to live with the consequences.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You’re confident in your knowledge, yet you’re also well aware that there are many other truths and ways. Your open mind will serve you well and net you more friends and supporters than one with a more rigid mindset.

Fantasy Football Matchups

Fitzpatrick, Martin look to exploit poor Miami ‘D’ MATCHUPS TO EXPLOIT

FANTASY FORECAST | WEEK 11

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

QUARTERBACKS

(AT MIAMI) The Dolphins have ruined primetime football, as their “defense” has surrendered a combined 112 points in — as you might’ve guessed — three consecutive losses.

Clearly rookie coordinator Matt Burke’s unit isn’t ready for primetime, and there’s little reason to believe they’re ready for the Bucs at noon either. Led by Ryan Fitzpatrick, Tampa got off the schneid vs. the Jets by basically being less awful than Gang Green.

But against a run ‘D’ that put Alex Collins on the map, then picked Marshawn Lynch and Jonathan Stewart up off the mat, Doug Martin’s rebound awaits. And Cameron Brate — even more disappointing than Martin the past two games —should become the fifth consecutive TE1 finisher vs. the ‘Phins.

MUST START: Mike Evans, Doug Martin, Cameron Brate SOLID PLAY: DeSean Jackson WORTH A LOOK: Ryan Fitzpatrick, Chris Godwin, Bucs D/ST

1. Russell Wilson, Seahawks vs. Falcons 2. Tom Brady, Patriots at Raiders (MEXICO CITY) 3. Carson Wentz, Eagles at Cowboys 4. Alex Smith, Chiefs at Giants 5. Derek Carr, Raiders vs. Patriots 6. Dak Prescott, Cowboys at Eagles 7. Matthew Stafford, Lions at Bears 8. Drew Brees, Saints vs. Washington 9. Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers vs. Titans 10. Matt Ryan, Falcons at Seahawks 11.

RUNNING BACKS

New York Giants

inant in Buffalo, but don’t be surprised when Drew Brees reminds us all Sunday that he can still be a fantasy force.

Washington was undressed for nearly three quarters by Case Keenum (4 TDs, 304 passing yards) — one week after Russell Wilson tossed two fourth-quarter scores and only three weeks removed from Carson Wentz’s four-TD barrage. Ted Ginn should get going again after a throwaway game in Buffalo against a secondary whose 41 explosives surrendered are among the league high. Even Josh Hill, one week after fumbling in an otherwise perfect Saints day offensively, has streaming appeal.

MUST START: Drew Brees, Michael Thomas, Mark Ingram, Alvin Kamara SOLID PLAY: Ted Ginn WORTH A LOOK: Brandon Coleman, Josh Hill

(VS KANSAS CITY) They’re easy targets, but just as Jay Cutler isn’t Miami’s biggest problem, Eli Manning isn’t high on the Giants’ long list of issues. In fact, Manning played one of his better games in San Francisco and should stack strong outings vs. a Chiefs ‘D’ whose secondary is ripe for picking on (No 32 vs. fantasy wideouts, No. 27 vs. QBs). Sterling Shepard is WR14 over the past two weeks, and Evan Engram paces all tight ends over that span and is TE3 over the past month. This one has shootout potential with both defenses reeling, and although owners may have to live with a giveaway or two from Manning, he’ll produce with Shepard, Engram and surging RB Orleans Darkwa.

MUST START: Evan Engram, Sterling Shepard SOLID PLAY: Orleans Darkwa, Eli Manning WORTH A LOOK: Roger Lewis

MATCHUPS TO AVOID

Pittsburgh Steelers

Jacksonville Jaguars

(VS TENNESSEE) Ben Roethlisberger called “Thursday Night Football” “miserable” and “terrible,” making him like the majority of players who despise playing on three days rest. But Big Ben has been better than the majority of his peers on Thursdays, with a 100.4 rating and 16:6 TD-to-INT ratio. Andy Dalton struggled and still threw two touchdowns vs. the Titans last week, whose defensive coordinator, Dick LeBeau, reunites with his old club for the first time. The Titans have allowed more receiving touchdowns (12) than every team but the Chiefs, and after playing more than 50 percent of the snaps and making a key third-down conversion of 19 yards on Pittsburgh’s game-winning drive — part of his 3-42 receiving — Martavis Bryant reenters WR3 consideration.

MUST START: Le’Veon Bell, Antonio Brown, JuJu SmithSchuster SOLID PLAY: Steelers D/ST WORTH A LOOK: Martavis Bryant

(AT CLEVELAND) Why Blake Bortles was asked to throw 29 times in a one-score game after intermission Sunday, we’ll never know. But Doug Marrone and Nate Hackett deserve as much blame for their quarterback nearly giving it away with two late interceptions as Bortles.

Fast-forward to Sunday, and it’s easy to envision pass-happy Bortles resurfacing vs. a Browns club that is very good on the ground but vulnerable through the air. Without Allen Hurns, and with Dede Westbrook’s status up in the air, Jacksonville will have even fewer options for Bortles. It should shape up as a Leonard Fournette script — just like the second half last week — when the rookie was curiously put on ice in his first NFL game without a touchdown and just second without at least 20 touches.

MUST START: Leonard Fournette, Jaguars D/ST SOLID PLAY: Marqise Lee WORTH A LOOK: Marcedes Lewis, T.J. Yeldon LAST RESORT: Chris Ivory

Suffice to say, it could use it.

Tyrod Taylor and rookie Nate Peterman, who mopped up the mess left by Taylor and Buffalo’s run ‘D’ Sunday vs.

New Orleans, combined for 4.8 yards per attempt. LeSean McCoy was an afterthought in a blowout — which makes more sense than Kelvin Benjamin attracting zero targets after the first series despite playing 85 percent of the snaps in his Bills debut.

Aside from McCoy, Buffalo’s a hard pass against a ‘D’ ranked second vs. fantasy tight ends and has permitted two touchdowns to receivers in the past four games combined.

MUST START: LeSean McCoy LAST RESORT: Kelvin Benjamin, Charles Clay, Jordan Matthews, Tyrod Taylor

Denver Broncos

(VS CINCINNATI) They’re mired in a fivegame losing streak in which the Broncos have averaged less than 14 points per game. Demaryius Thomas has scored in two straight — the switch to Brock Osweiler agrees with at least one Bronco — but the backfield is officially a committee running behind a bad offensive line; Osweiler is averaging 6.0 yards per attempt (respectable by his standards) as the starter; the special teams are costing Denver precious possessions; and the Bengals are ninth in sack percentage, fifth in passing yards allowed and seem unlikely to get Osweiler’ed again after he tallied 299 passing yards and a 100.3 rating in their last meeting.

SOLID PLAY: Demaryius Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders, Broncos D/ST LAST RESORT: Denver RBs

Baltimore Ravens

(AT GREEN BAY) The Ravens should be healthier coming off the bye with Danny Woodhead, Michael Campanaro and Nick Boyle rejoining the NFL’s worst passing offense. However, Joe Flacco hasn’t resembled the deep-ball thrower we’ve seen in the past who’s
