Cards House of Apparel Schools’ clothing closets continue to help students

With the upcoming legislative session fast approaching the Jasper County Substance Abuse Coalition is looking at legislative priorities for the coming year to deter the growing opioid crisis. Members of the group met Monday to talk about proposed changes to the state law, including advocating for a program that would make it easier for doctors to track prescriptions and prevent “doctor shopping,” a common tactic for drug seekers attempting to get higher quantities of prescription medication.

The Prescription Monitoring Plan, or PMP, is already in place across Iowa, but isn’t currently widely used.

Dale Woolery, the associate director of the Governor’s Office on Drug Control Policy, said urging doctors and pharmacists to begin using the program, which tracks prescription medications, will help reduce the levels of opioid narcotics on the street.

“We have to be firing on multiple cylinders when it comes to our approach and response,” Woolery said.

By approaching the opioid crisis from a supply and demand perspective Woolery said it’s possible to start making real gains in the war on drugs. Utilizing programs like the PMP will

Clothing closets in the Newton Community School District, like the Cards House of Apparel at Newton High School, assist more than 100 students annually. The closets have received donations from local businesses and individuals, and faculty hopes to keep the momentum going.

Students are always in need of athletic apparel to wear for physical education classes, tennis shoes and undergarments, according to Abby Lamont, an administrative assistant in the career center at NHS and the facilitator clothing closet.

Cards House of Apparel was launched in the spring of 2015.

“We had a lot of female clothing items and we wanted to add male items, so we applied for a grant through the American Educational Foundation,” Lamont said. “Then we reached out to our friends and family for donations during their spring cleaning.”

Lamont said the school’s clothing closet really blossomed over the years and even received a donation from Rock Communications, which was used to buy school supplies. In addition, Lamont said they do Christmas meals for kids to take home.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Dawn Bleeker, owner of the Capitol II Theatre and miniature pig and local celebrity, Joy, speaks to the Newton City Council on Monday about changes to the city code on miniature pigs.

Bleeker looking to expand miniature pig requirements

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Joy the miniature pig has become a staple at the Capitol II Theatre in Newton but current city code prohibits her from getting a companion to join in the fun. Joy’s owner and Theatre proprietor Dawn Bleeker went before the Newton City Council on Monday to request changes to the code to better fit modern miniature pig ownership and potentially expand on the number of pigs allowed at a residence.

“Five years ago if you asked if I was going to come back in five years I would have said no, but there is a lot of things that can be learned in five years,” Bleeker said.

During her five years caring for Joy, Bleeker has stayed active in many miniature pig groups, learning how other cities regulate the pets and what realistic standards for pig ownership are.

“When we made the

code five years ago, we did it based off of what we thought was accurate,” Bleeker said.

It is new information and watching Joy grow that brought Bleeker before the council to request an update to city code. To begin, she expressed the need to eliminate the weight restriction for the animals. Currently, the code says a pig can weigh no more than 80 pounds. With that limit, she fears people might under feed the pets to stay within the code.

Typically, a miniature pig averages a weight between 50 to 150 pounds. Joy maintains a weight of 80 pounds, give or take a few depending on the day, Bleeker said.

“The weight limit is hard to do, just like with anyone, you are going to grow to the size you are suppose to be,” Bleeker said. “A miniature pig is not going to be a farm hog size.”

She also proposed eliminating the height limit of 24 inches at the shoulder for the

same reasons. Instead, she added the pig should be verified it is a miniature pig by a veterinarian. Characteristics specific to miniature pigs include smaller ears, shorter legs and a straight tail.

Bleeker said she believes the pigs should still be required to be spayed or neutered and be licensed annually with the city with an up to date veterinarian’s certification. Another change to the ordinance would have the requirement of a blood test to ensure the animals is not carrying pseudorabies or brucellosis removed.

“I have a letter from our vet and he is saying it is not necessary because in the 50 states there have been no cases. Pigs have been known to die because of stress getting blood out of them, it is hard to get out of them,” Bleeker said. “Since miniature pigs are not with your farm pigs, they aren’t going to get that type of disease.”

Amenities added at Newton Interstate 80 exit

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Two sets of tables and benches along with a pet waste receptacle are now available for roadside stoppers and trail goers at the I-80 exit 164 interchange. Located on the east side of Highway 14 on the hike and bike trail, the new amenities were provided by efforts from the Newton Hometown Pride Committee and the city of Newton.

Hometown Pride led the charge by applying for a grant in March from the Iowa Grocery Industry Associates for picnic facilities in the area. The committee felt with the walking trail and public art installation

in the area and its frequent use by travelers stopping from Interstate 80, a small picnic area would be an appropriate welcoming feature.

Two thousand dollars was awarded by Build with Bags from the IGIA for the Newton Parks and City Grounds staff to purchase two hexagon tables, two fix foot benches and one trash can receptacle.

The city provided an additional $2,000 to install concrete pads for the new items.

“Items were purchased from Plastic Recycling of Iowa Fall, Inc.,” Newton Park Operations Superintendent Nick Cummins said. “They produce furniture and playground

equipment made from recycled plastic bags and newspaper sleeves.”

Build with Bags is a cause whose primary goal is to tackle the environmental concern that has been receiving a great deal of the attention, the use of plastic shopping bags.

To address the issues, the program aims to reduce the consumption of plastic bags, encourage the use of reusable bags, increase the amount of plastic bags recycled and establish a grant program to aid parks and schools to purchase products made from recycled plastic bags.

Scott Pearson, director of the Newton Hy-Vee, also sent a letter of encouragement for Newton’s

“As an IGIA member we are well aware of the issues associated with plastic grocery store bags,” Pearson said. “We believe the way to resolve this issues is to ‘close the recycling loop’ and encourage the purchase of products made from recycled plas-

WEATHER FORECAST

Today is Tuesday, Nov. 21, the 325th day of 2017. There are 40 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 21, 1942, the Alaska Highway, also known as the Alcan Highway, was formally opened at Soldier’s Summit in the Yukon Territory.

On this date: In 1789, North Carolina became the 12th state to ratify the U.S. Constitution.

In 1922, Rebecca L. Felton, a Georgia Democrat, was sworn in as the first woman to serve in the U.S. Senate; her term, the result of an interim appointment, ended the following day as Walter F. George, the winner of a special election, took office.

In 1967, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Air Quality Act. In 1973, President Richard Nixon’s attorney, J. Fred Buzhardt, revealed the existence of an 18-1/2-minute gap in one of the White House tape recordings related to Watergate.

In 1974, bombs exploded at a pair of pubs in Birmingham, England, killing 21 people. (Six suspects were convicted of the attack, but the convictions of the socalled “Birmingham Six” were overturned in 1991.)

In 1980, an estimated 83 million TV viewers tuned in to the CBS prime-time soap opera “Dallas” to find out “who shot J.R.” (The shooter turned out to be J.R. Ewing’s sister-in-law, Kristin Shepard.)

Ten years ago: New Hampshire set its earliest-ever presidential primary, deciding on Jan. 8, 2008. Officials announced the recall of more than a half-million pieces of Chinese-made children’s jewelry contaminated with lead.

Five years ago: Two weeks after he was re-elected to a ninth full term in Congress, Democratic Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. of Illinois quietly resigned in a letter in which he acknowledged an ongoing federal investigation. (Jackson would eventually be sentenced to 2.5 years in prison for illegally spending campaign money.)

One year ago: President-elect Donald Trump held court from his perch high above Manhattan, receiving a line of former rivals, longtime allies and TV executives while overseeing his White House transition.

Entertainment CBS suspends Rose, PBS halts his show following allegations NEW YORK (AP) — Charlie Rose is the latest public figure to be felled by sexual misconduct allegations, with PBS halting distribution of his nightly interview show and CBS News suspending him Monday following a Washington Post report with the accusations of eight women.

The women, who all

worked for Rose or tried to work for him, accused the veteran newsman of groping them, walking naked in front of them and telling one that he dreamed about her swimming nude.

Rose, 75, said in a statement that he was “deeply embarrassed” and apologized for his behavior.

disturbing allegations,” the public broadcasting service said in a statement. “We are immediately suspending distribution of ‘Charlie Rose.’”

Three women went on the record in the Post’s deeply-reported story.

Reah Bravo, a former associate producer for Rose’s PBS show who began working for him in 2007, told the newspaper: “He was a sexual predator, and I was his victim.”

She said Rose groped her on multiple occasions and once, during a business trip to Indiana, called her to his hotel room where he emerged from a shower naked.

Kyle Godfrey-Ryan, one of Rose’s former assistants, was 21 when she said Rose repeatedly called her to describe his fantasies of her swimming naked at the pool at his Long Island home while he watched from his bedroom. She said she was fired when Rose learned she had spoken to a mutual friend about his behavior.

Megan Creydt, who worked as a coordinator on Rose’s PBS show in 2005 and 2006, told the newspaper that she was sitting in the passenger seat as Rose drove in Manhattan one day when he put his hand on her thigh.

Five women interviewed by the Post described similar grabs to their legs in what many interpreted as an attempt to see their reactions.

Rose said that he has behaved insensitively at times “and I accept responsibility for that, though I do not believe that all of

these allegations are accurate. I always felt that I was pursuing shared feelings, even though I now realize I was mistaken. I have learned a great deal as a result of these events, and I hope others will, too.”

Rose’s interview show is seen in 94 percent of the country on PBS stations. It is rebroadcast on Bloomberg’s cable network, which also announced Monday it was suspending the show. He interviews a wide circle of people in the media, politics and entertainment — this month including Harvard President Drew Faust, rapper Macklemore and the Post’s Robert Costa, who talked about that paper’s sexual harassment investigation of Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore.

He also hosts “CBS This Morning” with Gayle King and Norah O’Donnell, a critically-acclaimed morning news programs which has been gaining the past few years on its better-known rivals. Rose also conducts interviews for “60 Minutes.”

Despite his age and heart troubles in the past, Rose had been one of the busiest figures in television.

Two hours after the Post story went online, one of its authors, Amy Brittain, tweeted that “sadly, my inbox is already flooded with women who have had similar, disturbing encounters with Charlie Rose.”

Rose owned his interview show, even though PBS distributed it, and that raised questions of what recourse women who had complaints about his behavior could do. The Post quoted Yvette Vega, his longtime executive producer, as saying she failed and deeply regretted not helping women who complained about his behavior.

To make this proposal work, Woolery said he’s been talking to doctors and other medical professionals in order to enlist their support in educating the community.

“When I visit the doctor I always ask them to check the PMP on me, I want an expert monitoring me,” Woolery said.

Woolery said he’s also encouraged by recent guidelines issued by the Center for Disease Control which encourage alternative forms of treatment for in-

These proposals, which have been adopted by several insurance companies, offer individuals a chance to seek chiropractic care or other non-traditional methods for dealing with chronic pain. While opioids may still be the best option for dealing with acute pain, cancer treatments, or palliative/end of life care, Woolery said he’s confident that emphasizing these alterna-

Closet Continued from Page 1A “Last year they donated 20 meals and this year there will be 30 meals donated to youth and their families who are in need,” Lamont said. “Hy-Vee has allowed us to order through them and get a discount and then send the meals home with students.”

Lamont said she didn’t really have a vision for the closet at first but everything began to fall together.

“It’s really grown, we just thought if we can provide some clothes for kids, that’s wonderful and it’s just kind of exploded,” Lamont said. “It’s all based on community support and we couldn’t do it without that — we are so thankful for the community we live in.”

Lamont said she informs the community of when the closet is running low on items and then they turn around and bring in dozens of donations.

“Newton is an outstanding town to live in,” Lamont said. “If this makes just one child’s day better then our job is well done.”

Lamont has a few student assistants who go through the donations and help organize the closet along with some marketing duties. The student assistants also receive college credit and get experience with talking to adults out in the community.

The Newton Public Library held a coat, gloves and hats drive, and the items were donated to local schools.

tive treatment methods will reduce opioid prescriptions significantly.

“Patients need to challenge health care professionals, they need Woolery to ask ‘what other treatment options are available,” Woolery said.

Rep. Wes Breckenridge, D-Newton, said he’s heard feedback from members of the community that making the PMP mandatory should be a top legislative priority when members of the legislature head back into session this January. As a former police officer, Breckenridge said he’s seen the dangers of drug abuse all too well in his years on

“The smaller items we are able to pass onto the elementary schools and middle schools,” Lamont said.

“Sometimes I’ll put items out on a table outside this room for kids who are walking by who might not want to come in but they might need to grab a sweatshirt or hats and gloves.”

Zoe Hall, sophomore at NHS, said she has been a student assistant since the beginning of the year.

“I take clothes that have been donated and hang them up and organize the clothing closet,” Hall said.

“I sort things out that kids would want to wear and items that maybe they wouldn’t want to wear.”

Hall said she had a free study hall period that she enjoys coming into the career center and volunteering.

“Kids get to pick out clothes and wear clothes they like and not just have to wear clothes that are at home,” Hall said. “It’s nice they have a choice of what to wear not just what they are forced to wear.”

Emily Valtman, a junior, is also a student assistant that helps out on a regular basis at the NHS clothing closet.

“When Abby told me about the opportunity I thought it’d be something better than having just a study hall,” Valtman said. “It gives me the opportunity to make a difference.”

Items can be donated to the front desk of NHS from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Following a large donation in August from Cato Fashions, a local women’s clothing store, the clothing closet at Berg Middle School is continuing to grow.

the force.

“We want to reach out to community members and find out what we can do to help enact legislation to keep our community safer,” Breckenridge said.

The opioid crisis is a growing problem in Newton, and many officials are predicting the community is three to five years away from reaching a crisis level in Newton. Rob Burdess, Newton’s Chief of Police, said he’s been carefully monitoring the situation, and while he said he’s seen an increase opioid use in Newton, he’s hoping to stay ahead of the problem. While there haven’t been any deaths related to opioid overdoses in Newton, Burdess said there have been several overdoses that NPD officers have responded to.

“We’ve seen an increase in opioids in the past year, but we

recently worked together to stop the negative connotation that’s often connected to clothing closets and the types of items that are available.

As the cold weather hits, Nicole Lampe, a seventh and eighth grade teacher, said the current needs are for winter coats, undergarments and tennis shoes.

“We have a lot of kids who play basketball in non-athletic shoes, which you don’t think about as a big deal but it is as far as ankles and traction,” Lampe said.

Lampe said she has students who utilize the closet about every other day, but that wasn’t until recently.

“It wasn’t being utilized at all and then I had a group of kids sign up to help organize the closet and go through it, and then we all wore something from the closet,” Lampe said.

“I wore an Under Armour shirt, which was really nice and then we had some girls and boys from the middle school who wore items, Lampe said.

Lampe said she thinks there is a negative stigma attached to the clothes available at the clothing closet that just isn’t true. She said there are also a variety of name brand items available.

“We want to help families in need,” Lampe said. “One mother came in and said, ‘my girls grew and all of a sudden no clothes fit them’,” Lampe said. “It’s nice to not just give one or two items but to give many items.”

Council Continued from Page 1A One of the biggest changes to the code would be allowing more than one or up to three pigs at one property. Bleeker cited Des Moines’ city code has a city that allows more than one pig and said it would also be beneficial for Joy’s health.

“The reason why I am encouraging more than one is because we are finding that they are very social animals and they do get depressed. If they can have their own companion that would be better,” Bleeker said. “Seeing how Joy reacts at five years of age I just know having a companion would probably be in her best interest.”

Bleeker also presented examples of size comparisons between dogs and pigs, showing that while pigs may be hefty, they are no bigger in size than a lot of dog breeds. She said pigs are just more dense leading to more pounds on the scale but less space taken up.

The final point in the code that Bleeker said should remain states the pigs should serve as pets and not be raised for food production.

Bleeker also addressed a concern the city had five years ago that allowing miniature pigs as pets would be a negative for the community. In contrast, during her time as Joy’s owner, she has found her to be a positive attraction

in Newton, in part because of her association with the theater.

“I think that goes hand in hand with Joy at the theatre but that was not planned. It kind of turned into a love affair of many in the community,” Bleeker said. “Now, there have been newspaper articles, TV spots ... and just recently the Genius Book of World Record contacted us about a category of mini pigs that do tricks.”

Councilwoman Miranda Kulis thanked Bleeker for presenting a comprehensive look at miniature pig ownership and providing ample information for the council to consider. Mayor Mike Hansen also shared about his time working with Joy in the community.

“I have had the pleasure of participating with Joy when Dawn and she were entertaining at the library.

She is quite good at her tricks,” Hansen said.

No action was taken at Monday’s meeting on changes to the miniature pig ordinance in Newton.

In other business: Councilwoman Evelyn George was sworn in as the new at-large representative on the council, replacing interim councilman Jeff Price who served following former councilwoman Lin Chape resignation from the seat. The council moved to appoint an interim Ward 2 representative, the seat formerly filled by George, at the Dec. 4 meeting.

haven’t had any deaths yet,” Burdess said.

Last year state legislators approved the use of Narcan to treat overdoses in an emergency situation, but officers of the NPD aren’t carrying it yet. Members of the Jasper County Sheriff’s department carry the drug, as well as ambulance crews operating within Newton. Burdess said there’s still plenty of issues to work out with the policy, including having access to a ready supply of the drug, as well as making sure his officers have adequate training to administer the drug.

Going to the theater

Keeping me on my toes Jamee A. Pierson

Editors note: This column originally was published on Nov. 22, 2106. s a kid, my parents exposed me to many different mediums of entertainment. We attended sports events, concerts, movies, the icecapades or whatever you call Disney on Ice and my personal favorite, the theater.

With my mom, sometimes my dad, other times my nana and as I got older some of my friends, we would head to the Des Moines Civic Center to take in shows including the “Fiddler on the Roof,” “State Fair,” “Miss Saigon,” “Wicked,” “Beauty and the Beast” and

A

our favorite, “The Phantom of the Opera,” which we have seen twice.

To get ready for the theater, I would wear my fanciest dress with shiney shoes, curled hair and big ol’ bow. At least when I was younger. As I got older my dress changed a bit but my enthusiasm for the stage shows has not.

When thinking about having kids of my own, I always hoped to carry on the tradition of attending the theater. I know most of the shows are for an older crowd than my pre-schooler and kindergartener, so when I saw “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”

was making a one night appearance I knew it would be the perfect opportunity for the girls first theater experience.

Like with most events my children are going to attend, my thoughts turned to what they would be wearing. Most of our “fancy” dresses were for summer time and a bit small since they keep growing like weeds. That meant a shopping trip was in order and I wasn’t at all sad about it.

When I had one girl, who until the moment she made her grand appearance I thought would be a boy, I knew my shopping dreams had come true. After finding out our second child was also a girl, it was like a light shined down on me and my love of dressing my little girlies.

Since the next couple of weeks are pretty crazy busy with Thanksgiving,

work, football and family time, I didn’t think I would have a good opportunity to shop before the show. As luck would have it, though, I had to make a trip to my favorite store and in turn found everything I needed to make my girls theater ready.

I picked out a new dress for each kiddo along with matching tights and furry boots. To complete the ensemble, I got them each a new, not real of course, fur overcoat. I just can’t wait to get them all dressed up.

Along with the thrill of dressing my kids, I am also excited to share this experience with my mom. It was always so fun to go to the theater with my mom as a kid one of our special events. I hope that my kids feel the same and this is the continuation of an enjoyable family tradition.

Don’t get shot by the cops — wear tweed!

Recently, police in the city where I live shot a 19-year-old Hispanic man in circumstances that remain under investigation, as they say while waiting for the public to lose interest.

Of course, as soon as the guy died, people whose agendas have eaten their souls found the young man’s Facebook page and before you could say, “The little spic deserved it,” they were posting pictures of him shirtless, in a logo cap with the brim straight across, waving a bottle of Hennessey cognac.

See? See?! Ya don’t get killed by our thin blue line of heroes unless you look like a THUG! Ya don’t get smoked by men and women who risk their lives every day unless you don’t bend the brim of your cap.

Now, into the dirt, Pablo! By the way, in the pictures, the kid’s holding up a pint of Hennessey. How gangsta are you if you can’t afford a fifth of the stuff?

I live in a city underserved by nearly every form of commercial endeavor except Walmart and dope dealers. That’s how kids dress where I live. I don’t take it personally because I dressed like a jackass when I was a young guy, too. To explain my teenage self most quickly: I was the kid giving the finger in my 9th grade class picture. Even then, the man couldn’t hold me down.

But listen up, brothers! You wanna not get shot by the cops? Take some wardrobe tips from an old white guy. You can’t do anything about your skin tone, but you can apply a little L.L. Bean camouflage.

In fact, a good first step is to get a hold of an L.L. Bean catalogue, and look through it slowly. See those clothes? The real dull, lame-dorky-looking shizz? That’s what you want.

Plaid. Oxford cloth (look it up). Khaki pants, baggy, with cuffs. Those sweaters that button up the front. Button-down collar shirts.

And tweed. You know what tweed is? It’s thick wool cloth, and it’s hairy. It comes in gray with brown flecks, and brown with gray flecks. They make sport coats out of the stuff, sport coats that fit like a refrigerator carton. Get a couple of those.

Try a used clothing store. Most tweed owners are 95, so they die all the time, and their hipster grandkids donate all their tweed to a used clothing store the day after the funeral.

I went to work today wearing cordovan leather chukka boots, baggy khakis, an L.L. Bean red plaid and a tweed sport coat. If you’re wearing an outfit like that, you can hit a cop in the head with an ax, and he’s just going to stand there bleeding and ask you, “Do you know why I pulled you over, Sir?” You dress like that, and you become much less likely to absorb a bullet during a routine traffic stop. And, if you do, the pictures of you on Facebook are going to make you look like someone they shouldn’t have shot.

Of course, you’re not gonna get a girlfriend, either, but, if you do get killed, not having a girlfriend means there will be one less pregnant teenager howling at your funeral while a newspaper photographer takes her picture.

And remember: The truth will set you free, but tweed will keep you alive.

.... Derik is a singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer ... Dalten is a singer, video designer and lighting director. They did a variety of songs from different eras that I knew with full lighting and videos, but I thought the best ones were Derik’s original songs. I especially loved one that he wrote for his grandmother called, “Geraldine.” It had tight harmonies and a beautiful video.

Dalten had five huge screens set up with video that matched the songs. He even digitally produced “clones” of his siblings ... singing, playing instruments ... when they needed background support. On a song that Derik wrote called “Silver Snow” we listened to warm harmonies while

we watched snow blow through trees on a mountain side.

I love harmonies. Even David Crosby (of Crosby, Stills and Nash) was quoted as saying that this family had “very good, nice harmonies.”

They had wonderful arrangements of songs made famous by James Taylor, Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, Fleetwood Mac and Pharrell Williams.

Police Blotter Newton Police Department • Dwyane R. Frosch-Machuta, 47, of Newton, was charged with operating while under the influence, interference with official acts and eluding at 2:12 a.m. Nov. 14 after police were called to 1006 N. Eighth Ave. E. after a resident called 911.

Frosch-Machuta told police he was having issues with his wife and she was at Courtyard Apartments and he wanted her to come home and get her stuff. He had been drinking and told police he was intoxicated. Police told him they couldn’t help him with his problems. Police believed Frosch-Machuta would drive back to Courtyard Apartments to make

contact with his wife, and they saw his vehicle leave his residence. When police initiated emergency lights and sirens, Frosch-Machuta continued to drive to the parking lot of Courtyard Apartments.

He was given commands to exit his vehicle, and he refused to get on the ground.

He smelled of alcohol and police located an open bottle of whiskey in the vehicle. He refused field sobriety tests.

He was arrested and taken to the Jasper County Jail. His breath test gave a result of .200 blood alcohol content. • Morgan R. Cope, 26, of North Carolina, city unknown, was charged with fourth-degree theft, eluding, providing false identification

of information and possession of drug paraphernalia at 10:12 p.m. Nov. 14 after police attempted to stop a vehicle that matched the description of one given in a theft incident at Hy-Vee. The driver continued even after emergency lights and sirens were initiated on East 19th Street South. The vehicle exceeded speeds in a 25 mph zone and eventually crashed into a ditch at the intersection of Robin and Ranch Avenues.

Cope gave officers incorrect identification information.

She also told officers she stole items from Hy-Vee totaling $240. Police identified the woman as Cope and placed her under arrest. Cope told police she had needles in her

purse, and officers also found a box with more syringes in a sock, a spoon and a digital scale. She was taken to the Jasper County Jail. • James A. Garland, 37, of Newton, was charged with disorderly conduct at 2:02 a.m. Nov. 15 after police were called to a residence on East 18th Street North in reference to a man knocking on the door to a residence. The victim told police Garland had been knocking and yelling at the front door. Police also saw a video with audio with a man saying multiple times “let me in.â€? Garland was found on the back porch of the residence sleeping, and he smelled of alcohol. He was arrested and taken to the Jas-

per County Jail.

Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office • Jacob D. Underwood, 20, of Colfax, was charged with possession of controlled substance — methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia at 8:33 p.m. Nov. 16 after officials pulled Underwood over for a traffic violation at the intersection of West Division and Locust Streets in Colfax.

Underwood was arrested and taken to the Jasper County Jail.

New American wants to get U.S. social customs right DEAR ABBY: I went through a divorce recently and have already found a woman I love. I have children — three boys and a daughter — I love very much. I’m currently paying child support to my ex for my 15-year-old daughter. The boys are grown and on their own.

I’m a first-generation American from Latin America, and I have a question regarding holding hands with my daughter in public. I spoke with my mother about it and she told me she hugged, kissed (pecks on the cheek) and held hands with her father until the time she moved away from home.

My significant other says holding hands with my daughter is not appropriate in public.

As a father, I want my daughter to feel she can hold my hand if she’s inclined. I will not discourage her because I love her. I understand that one day she may no longer want to do that, and I would accept her wish. Because I live in the United States, I need to know if the custom of daughters showing affection for their fathers is acceptable here in the U.S. — DIVORCED DAD IN COLUMBUS DEAR DIVORCED DAD: I’m glad you asked. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with a girl holding her father’s hand or demonstrating affection by hugging or kissing him on the cheek!

Your new love interest may be jealous of the relationship you have with your daughter. And if that’s the case, it is a red warning flag. Explain to your girlfriend that this is how people act in the culture you come from.

And one more thought: You mentioned that you are recently divorced.

Please take PLENTY of time before you plunge into another marriage — with her or anyone else.

DEAR ABBY: After 10 years and good relations with my prior hairdresser, I switched to a new beautician. The

shop is an hour closer to my home and less expensive. Both stylists do a great job, and I’m always pleased.

On my most recent visit to my new hairdresser, she was putting color on her first client of the day. I waited patiently for a half-hour past my scheduled appointment time. When she was done with that client, she asked me if I was in a hurry. Trying to be polite, I said, “No, not really.” (I’m retired.) So she went into the back room and then outside with coffee and cigarettes in hand for a break. I was dumbfounded.

After waiting 15 more minutes, she finally took me. How should I handle this the next time I see her? Should I continue to see her? Should I speak up or just chalk it up that she was having a bad day? Your opinion, please.

— HURRY UP AND WAIT IN WEST VIRGINIA DEAR HURRY UP AND WAIT: An experienced hairdresser usually puts color on her first client and then, while the color is processing, starts her next one. Your mistake was not having told the stylist how you felt about being kept waiting for half an hour. Also, when asked if you would mind if she kept you waiting even longer, instead of being “polite” and fuming, you should have been honest. Clear the air at your next appointment.

Prosecutors said they’d drop two counts of attempted murder in exchange for Jacobsen’s pleas. The records don’t list a sentencing date. The case was delayed in November while Jacobsen underwent a psychological evaluation, which ultimately found he was competent for trial.

Parolee charged with killing second man after release IOWA CITY (AP) — A parolee charged with killing an Iowa City cab driver in June is also responsible for the April shooting death of a bail bondsman in the city, police said Monday.

Both homicides occurred just months after Curtis Cortez Jones left prison following a decision by the Iowa Board of Parole to grant his release in November 2016, years early on a robbery sentence. The board paroled Jones despite

assessments that warned he was a high risk for committing additional violence and the fact that he had recently escaped after being fired from a work-release job for credit card fraud.

Jones, 41, was charged with first-degree murder Monday in the April 22 death of 34-year-old Jonathan Wieseler. Police said Jones robbed Wieseler and shot him in the head with a small caliber firearm at Lederman Bail Bonds,

where he worked near the Johnson County Courthouse and jail and was found dead the next day.

Jones has been in custody since July, when he was charged with first-degree murder in the June 28 death of 46-year-old Ricky Lillie.

Police say that Jones took a ride from Lillie across Iowa City, then robbed the driver and shot him to death inside his cab outside a motel.

Jones has pleaded not

guilty and is awaiting trial in Lillie’s death. He’s scheduled to make his initial court appearance Tuesday in the Wieseler case. Nekeidra Tucker, an attorney representing Jones, didn’t immediately return a phone message. A conviction in either case would carry a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole.

Jones, a father of 12 with a history of violence dating to his teenage years, had been a suspect in Wieseler’s death for

Nebraska gives long-delayed Keystone XL pipeline new life LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska regulators Monday approved a Keystone XL oil pipeline route through the state, breathing new life into the long-delayed $8 billion project, although the chosen pathway is not the one preferred by the pipeline operator and could require more time to study the changes.

The Nebraska Public Service Commission’s vote also is likely to face court challenges and may require another federal analysis of the route, if project opponents get their way.

“This decision opens up a whole new bag of issues that we can raise,” said Ken Winston, an attorney representing environmental groups that have long opposed the project.

Environmental activists, American Indian tribes and some landowners have fought the project since it was proposed by TransCanada Corp in 2008. It would carry oil from Canada through Montana, South Dakota and Nebraska to meet the existing Keystone pipeline, where it could move as far as the U.S. Gulf Coast. Business groups and some unions support the project as a way to create jobs and reduce the risk of shipping oil by trains that can derail.

President Barack Obama’s administration studied the project for years before finally rejecting it in 2015 because of concerns about carbon pollution. President Donald Trump reversed that decision in March.

The route approved 3-2 by the Nebraska commission would be five miles longer than the one TransCanada preferred and would require an additional pumping station. Commissioners who voted for it said the alternative route would affect less rangeland for endangered species. The commission was not allowed to take into account a leak last week of 210,000 gallons from the existing Keystone pipeline onto South Dakota farmland because pipeline safety is a federal responsibility.

TransCanada CEO Russ Girling issued a statement after the ruling saying the company would study “how the decision would impact the cost and schedule of the project.”

TransCanada has said that it would announce in late November or early December whether to proceed with the pipeline — which would carry an estimated 830,000 barrels of oil a day — and would take into account the Nebraska de-

cision and whether it has lined up enough long-term contracts to ship oil.

The company submitted three proposed routes to the Nebraska commission. The preferred route would have taken a more direct diagonal north to south path across the state and a third route was rejected because it would have crossed the environmentally-fragile Sandhills area.

Keystone XL would expand the existing Keystone pipeline network that went into service in July 2010. The current pipeline runs through North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas and extends east into Missouri and Illinois.

More than 90 percent of Nebraska landowners along TransCanada’s preferred route have agreed to let the company bury the pipeline beneath their property, but those who oppose it have managed to thwart the project for years. Approval of the route gives TransCanada the ability to seize the land of holdout landowners through eminent domain. The company has said it will use eminent domain only as a last resort.

months. He was charged after forensic testing found Wiesler’s DNA co-mingled with the DNA of Jones on evidence seized from a vehicle that Jones was seen on surveillance video driving near the crime scene, police said.

The deaths of Wieseler and Lillie were part of a trio of homicides in the past year in Iowa City, which is “well over” what the quiet college town of 75,000 normally experiences, said Police Chief Jody Matherly.

Iowa officials seeking more families to foster children SIOUX CITY (AP) — Iowa officials are hoping more people will consider taking in foster children, with more than 4,000 in need of a home.

The state’s shortage of foster families is most noticeable in the western part of the state.

Western Iowa has the highest child removal rate in the state, said Janee Harvey, chief of the Iowa Department of Human Services Child Welfare Bureau. It’s the result of a more active juvenile justice system and a higher rate of drug use in the region, she said.

“I think there’s always been a high need, but now it just seems like removals (of children from homes) have gone up,” said Dawn Luetje, program director

for Lutheran Services in Iowa, a state contractor providing foster care and adoptive services in 30 western counties. “We really are trying just to make the community aware (of the need).”

Many children are forced to live in shelters, said Harvey.

Oftentimes, there aren’t enough available homes to match a child to a family. Foster families can limit accepting children based on age or eligibility for adoption. In some cases, foster families are at maximum capacity in their homes already.

Luetje said there’s a demand for African-American, Hispanic and Native American families, as well as families willing to take in teenagers.

Yard and Garden: Construct a homemade Christmas wreath AMES — It might be hard to believe, but the Christmas season is just around the corner. One way to make the holiday season memorable is with a wreath, and a fresh, homemade wreath can really brighten a gathering. Making a wreath isn’t as difficult as you might think.

Iowa State University Extension and Outreach horticulturists can help answer questions about creating a fresh Christmas wreath. To have additional questions answered, contact the ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108 or hortline@iastate.edu.

to the frame with two or three turns of the wire. Position the second bundle of greens so as to cover the base of the first group.

Continue this procedure around the frame, placing the groups close together to produce a thick, full wreath. Tuck the base of the final bundle of greens beneath the foliage of the first group and fasten it to the frame. Decorate the wreath with a bow, cones, ornaments, etc. Wire each item separately and fasten it to the frame. Finally, attach a wire hanger to the top of the wreath frame.

The wreath is now ready for hanging.

What materials are needed to construct a fresh Christmas wreath?

Materials needed to construct a Christmas wreath include a pruning shears, scissors, wreath frame, No. 22 or 24 gauge florist wire, wire cutter and evergreen branches. Decorative materials, such as ribbon (bows), pine cones, holly, various fruits and ornaments may be used to finish the wreath.

Box style wire frames, florist wire, bows and other materials can be purchased at craft or hobby stores. Box style wire wreath frames are

How long can I expect a wreath to remain fresh?

Wreaths hung outdoors should remain fresh for three to four weeks. The average life of an indoor wreath, however, is about seven to 10 days. Indoor wreaths should be promptly removed when they become dry. The life of an indoor wreath can be prolonged by hanging it up only during special holiday occasions. Place the wreath in a plastic bag and store in a cool location, such as a garage, during the remaining time.

commonly available in 8- to 24-inch-diameter sizes. A 16-inch-diameter wreath frame is ideal for most home decorations.

Evergreen branches (greens) can be obtained from the home landscape.

A small amount of judicious pruning won’t harm trees and shrubs. Greens also may be purchased from garden centers, florist shops and Christmas tree lots or farms. Addition-

al materials, such as pine cones, can be purchased or collected outdoors.

What is the proper way to construct a Christmas wreath?

Begin by cutting the greens into six-to-eightinch sections. Next, firmly attach the end of the wire roll to the frame. Place a small bundle of greens on the frame; then fasten the base of the twigs tightly

Harvest continues throughout Iowa DES MOINES — The Iowa Crop Progress and Condition report has been released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service. The report is released weekly from April through October.

“Harvest progress continued across much of the state with some Iowa farmers finishing combining and completing other fall field work, including construction of conservation practices,” said Mike Naig, Iowa Deputy Secretary of Agriculture. “There is still harvest work to be done across the state, especially in northeast, southwest and south-central Iowa where 15 percent of corn is still in the field.”

The weekly report is also available on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website at www.IowaAgriculture.gov or on USDA’s site at www.nass.usda.gov/ia. The report summary follows here: Crop Report Minimal precipitation allowed Iowa farmers to make progress towards completing harvest with 5.5 days suitable for fieldwork during the week ending Nov. 19, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Activities for the week included harvesting, baling corn stalks, tiling, hauling and spreading manure, applying fertilizers, and planting cover crops.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 3 percent very short, 9 percent short, 84 percent adequate and 4 percent surplus.

Subsoil moisture levels rated 6 percent very short, 16 percent short, 76 percent adequate and 2 percent surplus.

Ninety-two percent of the corn for grain crop has been harvested, eight days behind last year and the 5-year average. Moisture content of corn being harvested for grain averaged 17 percent. Only northeast, southwest, and south central Iowa have more than 10 percent of their corn for grain crop remaining to be harvested.

Hawkeyes get wake-up call in Cayman Islands GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands (AP) — Bryce Washington scored 15 points and pulled down 10 rebounds and Louisiana-Lafayette defeated Iowa 80-71 in the opening game of the inaugural Cayman Islands Classic on Monday.

Frank Bartley IV led the Ragin’ Cajuns (31) with 17 points. JaKeenan Gant added 16 points and four blocks, and Justin Miller scored 14 points to go with seven rebounds. Louisiana was only 5-of-21 from 3-point range but shot 49 percent overall.

Iowa State’s Montgomery OK for K-State game AMES (AP) — Matt Campbell walked briskly into his weekly news conference and quickly squelched any uncertainty over running back David Montgomery’s health.

“He’ll be ready to roll,” the Iowa State coach said Monday.

Montgomery backed that up.

“I feel great, actually,” he said.

That’s good news for the Cyclones, who will try for a rare eighth victory in their regular-season finale at Kansas State on Saturday.

Iowa State (7-4, 5-3 Big 12) has lost nine straight to the Wildcats (6-5, 4-4) and has not won at Kansas State since 2004.

So yes, the Cyclones need as many healthy bodies as possible against a team that is coming off a 45-40 upset of Oklahoma State and has won three of its last four.

“I’m glad we have a healthy team going into Saturday,” wide receiver Allen Lazard said.

“Having David back is obviously very good, him being one of the best if not the best backs in the country. You don’t mind having that in the backfield when you can

Montgomery, who injured his left ankle in the win at Baylor, will be abl to play in Saturday’s game at Kansas State in Manhattan.

give him the ball and you never know what’s going to happen next.”

Montgomery tweaked his left ankle in a 23-13 victory over Baylor last Saturday when he was bent over backward while being tackled. The injury appeared serious because the sophomore remained stretched out on the field for several minutes, then put no weight on his left leg as he was helped off the field.

But X-rays found no damage and he walked without a limp on Monday.

“It happened so fast,” he said. “I never felt that pain before. My initial reaction was to calm down.

When I got to that point, I knew everything was all right and I had to get up from there.”

Montgomery has rushed for 1,080 yards and is second in the Big 12 with an average of 98.2 yards a game.

He has averaged 120.4 yards over the last five games and has forced 101 missed tackles this season, a national record since Pro Football Focus began tracking

Falcons hold off Seahawks SEATTLE (AP) — Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons did enough through 3 ½ quarters that even the best comeback attempt by Russell Wilson fell short this time.

A couple of yards short to be exact.

Ryan threw a pair of touchdown passes, Adrian Clayborn returned a fumble 10 yards for a score and the Falcons watched Blair Walsh’s 52-yard field goal attempt in the final seconds fall short, holding off the Seattle Seahawks for a 3431 win on Monday night.

Atlanta won its second straight to stay on the heels of New Orleans and Carolina in the NFC South, and handed Seattle a second consecutive home loss.

“What an absolute team win from the guys tonight,” Atlanta coach Dan Quinn said. “Coming here, in this environment, with the crowd, we thought it would be two competitive, tough teams that were going to battle for it in the biggest way.”

Ryan threw TDs to Mohamed Sanu and Levine Toilolo, while Tevin Coleman added a 1-yard TD run on Atlanta’s opening possession.

But it was Clayborn’s fumble return that helped break the game open early in the second quarter and gave Atlanta a 21-7 lead. He scooped up a loose ball after Wilson was crunched by Takk McKinley and Courtney Upshaw.

“I think we’re moving in the right direction. We keep proving we can finish games and beat guys. We have to take the momentum and keep rolling with it,” Clayborn said.

With Seattle down 11 points, Wilson hit Doug Baldwin on a 29-yard TD with 3 minutes left and then threw to Jimmy Graham for the two-point conversion. Seattle got the ball back and moved in range for Walsh, whose attempt was on line but landed short of the crossbar.

“That was in our range, and in hindsight I would have just driven it more,” Walsh said. “I would have driven it more and not left it short. I was too accurate and didn’t have enough on it.”

Wilson again was the entirety of Seattle’s offense, throwing for 258 yards and two touchdowns, and running for another 86 yards and a TD.

AP Photo Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan (2) passes against the Seattle Seahawks. Ryan threw two touchdown passes in helping the Falcons outlast the Seattle Seahawks, 34-31, on Thursday night in Seattle.

But it was an awful night for the Seahawks, filled with more injuries and questionable decisions by coach Pete Carroll.

He called for a fake field goal late in the first half rather than attempting a 35-yard kick. He also made a questionable challenge in the fourth quarter that didn’t go his way and left Seattle with just one timeout.

That lack of timeouts came back to haunt Seattle on the final drive when seconds ticked away and rather than running one more play, Walsh was sent out to attempt the 52-yard kick. His long for the season is 49 yards.

The conclusion only amplified Carroll’s baffling decision at the end of the first half, when Seattle ran a fake field goal rather than having Walsh attempt a 35-yarder that would have pulled Seattle within 24-20. Holder Jon Ryan completed his shovel pass to Luke Willson, but Grady Jarrett read the play and tackled Willson for a 4-yard loss.

Willson said Atlanta’s defense on the play was different than what Seattle had seen on film.

“It would have been a really good call if we had made it,” Carroll said. “Terrific opportunity right where we wanted it and the defensive tackle made a better play.”

Seattle played a game for the first time since the end of the 2010 season without Richard Sherman. His streak of 99 consecutive starts in the regular season was snapped because of a torn Achilles tendon suffered against Arizona.

The Seahawks were also without safety Kam Chancellor be-

cause of a neck injury, leaving their vaunted secondary with several new faces.

“Those two are phenomenal players. ... It was a lot different,” Sanu said. “They did a lot of different things but we just had to take advantage of our routes.”

Ryan was more than happy to pick on a defense without Sherman and Chancellor. He was 19 of 27 passing for 195 yards and rarely faced pressure. Seattle had one sack, and the Falcons went 9 of 14 on third-down conversions.

Sanu made a great one-handed grab for a 2-yard touchdown in the first quarter. Ryan found Toilolo on a 25-yard TD in the third quarter to give Atlanta a 31-20 lead. Matt Bryant added a 19-yard field goal with 3:49 left to put the Falcons ahead by 11, and Wilson’s late heroics weren’t enough.

Ryan’s streak of 64 straight games passing for at least 200 yards was snapped.

Seattle’s injury woes continued. The Seahawks lost rookie cornerback Shaquill Griffin to a concussion on the second play of the game, forcing newly signed veteran Byron Maxwell into a more prominent role than expected.

Early in the second half, promising running back Mike Davis was lost to a groin injury after taking a screen pass 21 yards. Davis had two receptions and had carried six times for 18 yards before getting hurt. Seattle also lost starting guard Oday Aboushi in the fourth quarter with a shoulder injury.

that figure in 2014.

And like many good backs, Montgomery gets more productive as the game progresses. Last week, Montgomery managed only 39 yards in 11 first-half carries. In the second half, he carried 16 times for 105 yards.

“Defenses make adjustments and what you see on film isn’t always what you’re going to get early in the football game,” Campbell said. “I think you as an offense and you as the ball carrier have to make the adjustments with the flow

of the game. That’s one of the things I really like about David and where I’ve seen him really grow in his time at tailback.

“You have to remember he was a high school quarterback that maybe didn’t have to make those same adjustments that you’re now having to make at this level at the tailback position.”

Sheldon Croney, also a sophomore, filled in after Montgomery went down and rambled for 45 yards on his four carries to help the Cyclones secure the victory. He would be next up again if Montgomery is limited at Kansas State.

“It’s a blessing in my eyes really to see Sheldon actually be able to do what he’s doing,” Montgomery said.

Iowa State already has matched a school record with its five conference victories. Only five Iowa State teams in the last 110 years have won as many as eight games.

“It would be huge,” Lazard said, “especially (because) the past three seasons we haven’t had the kind of success we wanted. To finish off the regular season like that and go into the bowl season with a win would be huge.”

Top-ranked Duke powers past Furman DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Marvin Bagley III scored 24 points and No. 1 Duke beat Furman 92-63 on Monday night in the on-campus round of the PK80.

Trevon Duval had a season-best 18 points, Wendell Carter Jr. added 14 and a fourth freshman — Alex O’Connell — scored 10 for the Blue Devils (5-0).

They shot nearly 61 percent and outscored Furman 64-28 in the paint, and have won all four of their games at Cameron Indoor Stadium by at least 17 points.

Creighton 100, No. 23 UCLA 89 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)

— Marcus Foster scored 23 points, Mitch Ballock added 22 in front of his boyhood fans and Creighton beat UCLA in the semifinals of the Hall of Fame Classic.

Khyri Thomas added 16 points and Ty-Shon Alexander had 12 for the Bluejays (4-0), who have won 12 straight in-season tournament games after titles at the MGM Grand Main Event and the Paradise Jam. Creighton raced to an early lead, weathered the Bruins’ best effort midway through the second half, and then proved it could put things away with poise and precision down the stretch.

The sun moves out of Scorpio, leaving that scorpion’s stinger in the past. Sarcasm may be a sign of a healthy brain, but it’s not always a sign of a healthy attitude. You may like a good laugh as much as the next person, but at whose expense?

Support people. Love them.

Put that at the core of all you do and you’ll be cosmically aligned.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 21). Your creativity is going strong through the end of the year, but it’s your practical efforts and team building actions that carry a plan to the payout. Give your body a new way to express your energy in 2018. You’re strong,

graceful and competitive. The places you see will invite you back: This is love. Leo and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 27, 15, 42 and 50.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You can’t expect to think differently if you’re using the same references as everyone else. For this reason and more, it’s time to go digging deeper for new influences.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Knowing your weakness is the first step. From there you can build on your strengths enough to compensate, find a way to capitalize on the inherent gift in your weakness, or work

directly to develop the weak area.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

People may ask about your plans, but you might want to show them what you’ve already done instead. That will speak with more volume and clarity, leaving no room for doubt.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

There’s something to be said for feeling like you have to impress a person. It will be interesting to see how the nearness of such a person changes your approach. Of course, it’s nicer to be with people who already get you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

You’re so close to success on a project, though you may have

to redefine it. For instance, success may be simply finishing the thing so you can move on and never look at it again.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Breathe. Of course, that’s not your only job in the process of helping this thing along.

Breathing in; breathing out; plus investing some of your faith: Hit those three, and then step back. Your job is done.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

It might sound like a mean thing, but a big part of your happiness, success and wellbeing is just knowing who to stay away from. It’s better to be alone than with an influence that makes you behave as less than you really are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

On this day of cosmic change, you’ll adapt more easily to the transition than most, if only because you long ago accepted the temporary nature of all things. For this reason and more, someone wants to hold your hand.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You don’t have to wait until tomorrow to get your second chance. By then you might not even want it anymore. To a person of action, now is the second chance -- and now and now.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The bottle of water by your side helps you stop and think while you stop and drink. A more thoughtful (and hydrated) approach to speaking

with people and doing your work will lead to an important breakthrough.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll be in a position to defend a person or idea, and because you’re so loyal you’ll do this well. For this reason, knowing whether the person or idea is in the right will be crucial. Find out first.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

There’s that one person you like to have around -- the one who’s like a candle in a dark room, mysterious, warm and always casting a lovely quality of light on you.
